Chapter 20: Filthy Rich Went Shopping 3

"Sson…" Not minding that she dirtied her light blue dress of the tea she just spilt, the young man's mother gasped out of shock.

With a trembling voice she asked, "Sssson.. don't tell me.. you forced yourself into a.. woman??"

Taken aback by his mother's peculiar question, the solitary looking man gave a guilty helpless smile and replied,

"Dear mother, your son did not force anyone. I swear in my name. However, about what really happened, it was too complicated to explain to the two of you yet. My mind right now is filled with worries of finding the Asani woman as soon as possible because she is in grave danger..

"That force, most likely already knew of her existence in Silvertown.."

The young man's father gave a heavy sigh as he snapped his fingers and casted a type of magic that let his beloved's dress restore to normal along with the tea cup.

While doing this, he asked the young man with a stern tone, "How certain are you about the possibility of having a child with her?"

"Absolutely certain." The young man looked directly into his fathers eyes, not showing any lies.

"About three months ago, I felt a resonance that I have never felt before. Only you, father, knew what it meant.." the young man continued.

With astonishment and joy in his eyes, his father exclaimed, "The first heartbeat of a Seirende offspring! The Resonance of a Victor's Heart!"

Upon hearing this the mother also had an elated expression. "Heavens!!" She uttered with tears forming in her eyes.

However, the joy and excitement from his father's eyes turned into worry and pity towards his son, "But son, getting involved with an Asani, will bring you more harm than good."

"Father, I have the power to protect myself.. Do not worry." The young man replied in a resolute tone.

However, his father just gently shook his head, and uttered sadly, "It is not enough to have the power to protect yourself, you must have enough power to protect what is most precious to you.." Then he walked towards his son and gave him a pat in his shoulders,

"Son, if you can, never repeat the same mistakes that I did."

His eyes that had already been marked by time, displayed deep regret and guilt as he tried to remind his son about the past.

"Father, I'll take it one step at a time. Do not worry." Putting his cold hands on top of his father's warm and gentle hands, understanding the underlying message his father conveyed, he assured in a decisive manner.

"My priority right now is to locate her. To keep her and my child protected under my care…"

His eyes filled with determination and sharpness.

"Young Eli, I am very curious about these drawings!!! This looked like some incredible invention!" Grandpa Ben, the knowledge freak grandpa exclaimed in anticipation.

Eli started to patiently explain the contents of the blueprint -

"This is what you call the Integrated Water System, designed for my household. It is a mechanism to make the water automatically be stored and flow easily around the house. From the well, to the kitchen, to the bathroom and comfort room, water will be accessible without doing the manual labor of fetching it. Water can also be heated during the cold winter days."

"Integrated.. Water System?" The two elderly grandpa had their eyes wide open and mouth agape in marvel.

"Young Eli, how does this work? Kindly explain to me! Hahahaha this is so fascinating!!!" Grandpa Ben sprawled on the floor and laid out the sheets of paper in order to better study the blueprints.

Grandpa Andi also gestured to the quiet butler to come closer and examine the blueprint.

"Young Eli, allow my apprentice here, Randel, to also take a look at your system." Grandpa Andi finally introduced the quiet butler.

Eli was helpless about their intense reaction to her blueprints. However, she needed to explain it properly to the two especially to Grandpa Andi, so that he can recommend manpower and suppliers that are able to carry out her attempt to replicate the system.

This system is modeled from the household water system in modern times. Only that the key components such as the pressure pump and heater were modified to run with mana as the energy source and on the simpler and more primitive version. Using the knowledge book and her knowledge in engineering, she researched how to create this system and make an initial plan for its execution.

Eli decided to do this because it will be convenient for her especially when Little Han is born. The less chores she's required to do, the more time she could spend in taking care of Little Han. She took the schematic diagram that summarized the system and started to explain it to the three audiences.

"Every page corresponds to a function and a section of the system, the key to this system are the pipes and the water pump. First is the pump and and storage section. From the well, a water pump will automatically draw water from it, then stored in the main water tank. Then the tank is connected to the main pipeline which will eventually lead to the pipes around my dwelling as it is drawn here…

"The tank ideally can be located in the attic and using gravity it will distribute water through the pipes. If it isn't feasible to install it in the attic, we can add a pressure pump just after the outlet of the storage tank creating the force that will enable the water to freely circulate at the right pressure within these pipes..

"Then the heater system, originally I planned to make a central heater that will distribute the hot water in a separate pipeline however, it will take more time and is a total waste of effort. So I have planned around here... a faucet inlaid with a heating array that can be activated whenever there is a need of hot water. I have also added a water filtration function in the kitchen area, which removes impurities from the water, making the water safe for drinking. It's a perfect combination of science and magic!"

"Thisss this!!!" Grandpa Reuben was speechless.

He never thought of letting water flow from pipes, much less let it conveniently circulate around the house. And heating the water with just an activation of an array? Why didn't he even think of that?

One must know that although Prasinos is a world where magic exists, the usage of this magic is not used for this kind of trivial matter. A mage wouldn't waste his mana for a create water spell every time he wanted to cook, bathe or clean. This is not advisable because one must have a good grasp of control in magic, at least a B class talent, before you can perform a water creation spell at a scale as small as this.

Elemental creation spells, like water creation spells, are meant for battles or large scale operations, not for trivial household things. That is why people of Prasinos didn't try to use their magic in these things, especially the caster types.

"Marvelous!! Splendid!!!" Grandpa Ben exclaimed in astonishment and surprise. Grandpa Andi also had a look of pride on his face, it was as if Eli was her daughter and she made him very very proud. The quiet butler showed a tinge of interest towards the drawing.

"But these are just concepts, Grandpa Andi, Grandpa Ben… that is why I wanted to show it to you to verify if these plans are feasible and if there are any craftsmen or blacksmiths who could create the components of this system.." Eli still had a humble tone, aware of the fact that this may not work at all unless it is studied and verified.

"Hmm indeed.. This needs further study in order to make it work.." Grandpa Andi agreed, and he continued in a tone full of resolve, "This will be a great help for Prasinons belonging to the F bracket!"

"F Bracket?" Eli asked in curiosity.

"Oh, you must not have known!" Grandpa Andi, knowing a bit of Eli's background, commented with understanding.

"You must already know about the constitutions and the corresponding occupations every Prasinons has, right? May it be devourers, casters or summoners, upon awakening of one's constitution at seven years old, the Prasinon children must be assessed of their magical capability. It is divided into 5 main classes, A, B, C, D and F classes. Classes A to D are called the qualified class. With class A being the highest, one had the potential to be as strong as an Empire's General in the future. While those who are classified as F have a very unstable and low aptitude to magic. They are basically treated as failures, as non-magic people.

These classifications however, are not cast in stone. One can continue training and get the possibility to improve a grade higher. However, it will be much harder and there is no guarantee of success. There is also a class beyond the A level - the Special class or S class." Grandpa Andi patiently explained.

"Old Ben here belongs to the special class for the casters. Take note that mages of S Class are legendary figures," Grandpa Andi now had an opportunity to put Grandpa Ben on the hot seat.

"Wow!" Eli in return looked at Granpa Ben, amazed.

"Cough cough… It's not that great ahh.. Hey Old Andi! Why not also say that you are also an S class devourer ahh? Ya, and this lad Randel too! He is an A class caster training to achieve S class!" Blushing Grandpa Ben tried to pass the hot seat to the other two.

"Woaaah! All along I was in a room full of great people!" She gasped in pleasant surprise.

"Eheerm eherm.." Seeing that Eli was very astonished about their accomplishments, Grandpa Andi was speechless that he could only clear his throat embarrassingly. Randel, on the other hand, just turned his face away to hide his shy expression. However, Eli could see his ears blushing cherry red.

"Anyway, what your Grandpa Andi was saying is, your invention, if it works, will help a lot of households belonging to the F class. For one, we will need manpower to create these components, and as you can already figure out, other than the dwarven race who love crafting and forging as a profession, no one belonging to the qualified class will accept the job in manufacturing these items." Granpa Ben explained.

Eli nodded with understanding. She acknowledges this rationale.

Upon knowing Grandpa Andi, she also knew that even as a merchant, Grandpa Andi had a lot of compassion with the people of the F class. He is charitable enough to hire them alongside with his dwarven brethren in order to craft items for his family's merchant business. It was said that it is because one of Grandpa Andi's grandchildren belongs to the F class, that he had that much compassion for them.

After the excitement around the room, the atmosphere now turned serious. Everyone recognized the impact of Eli's innovation and the amount of research, sourcing and testing needed for this to work.

After a long silence, Grandpa Ben, placing his hands in his chest, spoke with utmost sincerity and grit,

"Young Eli, I would like to take part in the development of this invention. I, Reuben Fauruld, headmaster of the Farauld Magic Institute, will mobilize my resources to help you make this invention come to life. In return, I would like to ask for your permission to release this technology under your name as the inventor, to be able to help vast households all over the Seirende Empire!

Grandpa Andi spoke next and committed, with his hand also placed in his heart,

"Young lass you know very well that I belong to the dwarven race who love doing this kind of thing, and that I like doing profitable business. I, Andvari Forgeworn, Head of the Forgeworn Dwarven clan, commit to support you in crafting this invention alongside you and Old Ben. In return, you will permit us to have the rights to exclusively manufacture this system in order to be used all across the Seriende Empire!"

Feeling honoured to be receiving an oath of commitment from the two legendary grandpas, Eli tearfully replied.

"Grandpa Andi, Grandpa Ben, thank you! Please help me in this endeavor!"
