BXBX NOVEL Chapter 53 First Day Apart 1
The day continued with the Baobao and Olivier constructing the quarters.
Eli and Wisey, on the other hand, went on to the study area to prepare for Water Pressure and Heating System and the Black Hair Industry Proposal.
The success of the water pressure heating system will be important to Eli\'s preparation for her motherhood as it will make her life easier. With Grandpa Ben and Grandpa Andi\'s insight, she knew that this system will also help other Prasinons in making their lives more convenient.
"I wonder, what area does Grandpa Andi and Grandpa Ben\'s team need more help and comprehension in order to make this all work?" Eli uttered in contemplation.
"I think it was most probably the principles behind the concept of the system and the type of materials needed. Your concept is a very new one and chances are, the principles behind this aren\'t yet discovered by the scholars and researchers as of now." Wisey suggested.
"Hmm, It makes sense, but how do I start?" Eli took a moment to carefully think, after sometime she uttered,
"Aha! I have a search engine right here! This is the best research tool! Why didn\'t I think of it earlier!" She cheerfully said while immediately summoning the book of knowledge.
She searched for the current state of the research and discoveries in Prasinos for science and technology.
But after hours of searching and reading she felt stressed and disappointed, "Aiyoo, there\'s so much to do…"
"Fundamentals like the three laws of thermodynamics, physics, chemistry aren\'t really progressing. It\'s still in the stage of discovery by trial and error." She was baffled by this information.
She was left in wonder.
Prasinos used potions, magical weapons and even teleportation arrays! These things made her assume that they have a very rich foundation of the science on how matter and magic works, yet these were all discovered through trial and error?
Just how much sacrifice was made in order to get a breakthrough discovery?
"Eli-chan, calm down, they may have been doing this by trial and error but I think they only needed someone to tell them the principles behind it. Remember, in this world, there exists magical power, which does not adhere to the laws of nature in your other world." Wisey thoughtfully advised Eli, seeing that she was in such a dilemma.
"Alright! I have decided. I\'ll create books for elementary sciences!" Eli said, she was so pumped up. Her midnight eyes shined brightly in determination.
"Are you sure? That will be a lot!" Wisey said in shock.
"Yes, I have decided! I will also check how far they got in the periodic table of elements!" Eli said, burning with passion.
"Alright, alright. I\'ll ask Olivier to buy you lots of paper again in the town tomorrow.." Wisey said in a helpless manner.
Over the days that she had been with Eli, she noticed that there were three things that Eli was so passionate about, - Little Han\'s well being, Music and Knowledge. For the latter two, these were the things she wanted to pursue now that she had a new life.
Eli promised that aside from being a good mother for Little Han, she wanted to fulfill her promise with her Mum. She wanted that when the time comes for her to finally go home to the Great One and reunite with her mum, she would be able to say that she had lived a life that is full and meaningful.
Knowing this, Wisey chose to support Eli in pursuing her passions. Giving her advice when needed.
As for warning Eli, she had learned her lesson when she forgot to warn her of wandering around Silvertown with her original appearance. They were suffering its consequences now.
She promised to be more attentive than ever when it comes to Eli\'s safety.
After creating a plan for the upcoming meeting with the project team, Eli noticed that there were some reactions coming from the teleportation array.
"Let\'s take a look!" Wisey immediately flew towards the glowing teleportation array. Soon something emerged from the array, a letter and a brown brocade box. After the items were fully transported the light in the teleportation array quickly disappeared.
Wisey flew and quickly used wind magic to deliver to Eli the items. These days, Eli\'s movement was limited because of her pregnancy. Picking up items will give her a hard time.
Examining the letter, Eli noticed that the seal was from Grandpa Andi\'s Argentum, "It might be from the Grandpas!" She exclaimed as she excitedly opened the letter. As she opened the letter, Eli saw an elegant writing from Grandpa Andi -
"To our dearest young Eli,
How have you been? We have been worried about the threat that you have encountered yesterday.
We have thanked the heavens repeatedly that they sent the young lass Lainie to inform us about those men. If not for her, we all may have been caught off-guard and the worst might have happened…"
Eli paused as she read the letter, "Lainie? Isn\'t she the one whom we bought our new violin with?"
"I think she is!" Wisey, who was perched on Eli\'s shoulder, replied.
Eli was feeling grateful and lucky that Lainie was able to inform the Argentum beforehand. However she still felt guilty that Randel was severely injured. "I wonder how Randel is doing?"
She continued to read the letter hoping that there was some information about Randel\'s situation.
"I and Old Ben apologize for not going to your place right away to check your situation there.
For if we have personally moved, it may cause an uproar to the whole of Seirende, putting you in a more difficult situation. We hope you understand. Yet rest assured, we are always supporting you here in the shadows.
As for Randel, I know that you are feeling guilty about his situation but do not worry. What happened to him is part of his growth and it will be beneficial for him to ascend to the S level in the future.
I am sure that you know that Randel doesn\'t blame you too. So young lass, make your heart at ease..."
Eli was touched with the words of comfort by Grandpa Andi. She understood their situation, and she was always grateful for their support and sacrifices. No matter what happens she trust these two grandpas, as well as Randel.
The last part of the letter was about their upcoming visit.
"By the way dear lass, I and Old Ben have many things to discuss with you and we couldn\'t wait to visit your home.
However, the team Old Ben and I had commissioned was still on their way here in Silvertown and would be able to get here in a week at most. So we can only visit you back then.
I also had prepared the initial materials that you have listed based on the properties that you have specified. I look forward to our collaboration on this project!
Oh! By the way, in that brocade box is a piece of communication stone. I heard that the Prince gave you one so your two grandpas didn\'t want to be left behind! You can use this to communicate with me and Old Ben! Hahaha!
Young lass, always know that you are always in our hearts and minds.
Always have a heart that is in peace and a mind that is well.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely,
Grandpa Andi"
After reading the letter, Eli couldn\'t help but give the sweetest smile she could give. Having many people who sincerely cared about her was a far fetched reality in her previous life.
She didn\'t want to be greedy and she was already content to have her Mum\'s love.
Deep inside her heart, she was glad that she accepted the request the Great One had assigned to her. Because of this, she was able to meet good people in Prasinos.
Opening the brocade box she saw an elegant golden bracelet with eight pendants. It was a bit peculiar because there was only one slot filled with a red gem. The others were empty.
"Why is this bracelet missing some gems?" Eli asked in curiosity.
"The bracelet may be made to hold multiple communication gems! Think about it, if you have many friends you have to carry a lot of communication gems along with you! That would be inconvenient!" Wisey energetically deduced.
"Oh, that made sense!" Eli immediately agreed. She continued the day, preparing for the her matters while waiting for Baobao and Olivier to finish the quarters.
Olivier\'s quarters were done before the day ended, everyone celebrated with a nice and warm dinner.
--
Back in the Seirende Kingdom, Leon\'s figure appeared in his parent\'s secret place.
Looking at the familiar secret place, full of colorful flowers, chirping birds and fluttering butterflies, Leon wondered if his Father Emperor and Mother Queen were inside.
Walking to the gazebo, he saw her mother enjoying her cup of tea along with his father. The old couple weren\'t doing romantic actions, but in the atmosphere alone, one could definitely feel that the two loved each other deeply.
It was her mother queen who first noticed his presence.
"My son! You are back!" She put down her cup of tea and walked towards Leon with a happy smile.
Father emperor glanced towards his son with a reserved nod.
"Hmm, I\'m back mother, father." Leon replied respectfully.
"How did your trip go, My Son?" His queen mother asked nervously.
Father Emperor Valentin also looked towards his son, anticipating his answers.
But what surprised them more was the expression they saw in their beloved son\'s face. They hadn\'t seen this expression ever since he was doomed to be a trash prince of the Seirende Imperial Family.
Leon was brimming with a smile on his face, it was so beautiful that the flowers all over the secret garden paled in comparison.
"I have found them, the mother of my child, and Little Han!"
