New Life, New Task: I'll Be A Mom Then!!!

Chapter 60 Eli's Project Team



"T-this! I'd rather have you esteemed scholars and inventors address me by just my name, Eli."

The fervent gazes and the overwhelming address made Eli embarrassed and pressured.

All she did was to show them the books she had compiled containing the very fundamentals of sciences.

Since she had an ultra super convenient research tool, she was also able to modify the books in accordance with the truths of the world here in Prasinos.

"This can't be! Your knowledge is vast and out of this world! If I wouldn't even give you respect as a great teacher, We would be trampling on our reverence for you!" They replied

Although she expected that showing them these books would spark some shocking reactions, she didn't expect that it would be this overwhelming.

Especially knowing who these members of the project team were. They are a team of four, including Randel, coming from the Forgeworn Clan and Farauld Institute.

The first member, was a handsome scholarly looking man in his early thirties, wearing a white long robe with straight and silky grey hair. He was currently the youngest Dean for Magical Research Division of the Farauld Magic Institute - Zeke Bartholomew Gifford.

The second member was an eccentric yet wise looking man in his forties also wearing the same white long robe as Zeke, with his eye catching bouncy curly brown hair. He was currently the vice chairman, an array master and the right hand man of headmaster Reuben of the Institute - Bramwell Merill Lewis.

The third member was a chubby and adorable dwarven girl. If one took account of her height, they would think that she was just a teenage young miss. However she was already a lady in her late twenties.

She was the master engineer of Forgeworn Clan who was behind the countless magical items released for the Forgeworn merchant group. - Meredith Lavachin.

The last member was Randel. Although Eli saw him as the black butler of the Argentum, he was attending now as the apprentice of grandpa Andi in craftsmanship.

Together, the four people, along with the two grandpas and Eli, came together to make the concept of the water pressure and heating system a reality.

"These were just the knowledge passed down to me by Mr. Earthling." Eli said embarrassedly, as she wanted to communicate that these were all the acquired knowledge the earth had.

Just like what she said to Azayn and the rest, she deviced the story about Mr. Earthling to explain the miraculous source of her knowledge.

"Alright, alright. Enough of flattery and let's get down to the business." Grandpa Reuben announced with seriousness.

"We have quite a bad news for everyone…" He then continued.

The members of the project team stopped what they were doing and looked at Grandpa Reuben with a serious demeanor. "What is it, grandmaster?" They all asked.

Eli was rather nervous upon seeing the serious faces of the team. She couldn't help but wonder if they would be angry at the hastened timeline of completing the project.

"We need to hasten the completion of this project within a month." Grandpa Ben announced straightforwardly.

"This… Headmaster, what could be the cause of this change? I think it would be hard for us to apply our new found knowledge in just one month..." Vice Chairman Bramwell asked with a shrewd tone.

"Eherm!! Well to put it simply.. The Emperor and Second Queen will be coming to visit and inspect the Silver Dew Forest next month." It was Grandpa Ben who continued to explain.

"We found that it would be advantageous for us to finish this project and present your work to them…" He said with a look that was somehow scheming, as he subtly glanced towards the expression of the members of the group.

He saw some hesitation in the eyes of the group, so he continued,

"Unless you do not want the benefit and honor of personally showing your groundbreaking collaboration to the Emperor himself?" He said with squinted eyes.

The three people reacted stiffly. Randel was rather immune to his master's conning and acted naturally.

Eli couldn't help but think that the chief of the Forgeworn Merchant group was formidable. Especially on conning skills!

"Then…" It was Meredith who was first to give in.

With a reluctant tone yet expectant eyes she said, "If the Great Teacher and the Empire's Grandmasters think we can do it, then I guess we will go a bit all out then…"

The expression of the rest of the team also displayed a bit of concession.

"We can do this if the Great Teacher would allow us to stay here for a while to maximize our time!" Meredith followed up.

"That's a great idea!"

The other two seconded, they were pumped up knowing that they would be staying here for an extended period of time, pull all nighters and dive to the books Eli had prepared for them.

"Also, I would have extra time to interact with Baobao the Panda…" Bramwell said with slightly blushing cheeks, staring at Baobao with a bit of longing.

As the vice headmaster of the Farauld Magic Institute, his field of responsibility was in academics and sciences, while Zeke was on Magic. He displayed greater interest in Baobao compared to the rest of the team.

"T-this, esteemed masters, I'm afraid that my cottage would be lacking to accommodate you all…" Eli was at a loss.

As much as she wanted to let them stay, her cottage was two small to accomodate the whole team.

"Great Teacher do not worry! We take care of our own lodging!" Zeke replied with a lively manner, while proudly taking out a black box.

"I'm proud to present to you this portable sleeping quarters! Newly developed by the Farauld Magical Research Division! With this, we can stay here without worrying about the lack of space!" He presented with pride, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Woahhh!" The whole team of professionals and Eli's bunch clapped in support with Zeke's introduction.

Zeke's smile reached from ear to ear, as he proudly lifted his chin up while elegantly displaying the little black box on the palm of his hands. Truthfully, it was quite a sight to see for a revered personality of the prestigious Farauld Magic Academy to act as comically as this.

"Then if you all don't mind… Let's do our best to create this system moving forward!" Seeing that the bunch do not mind the arrangement, Eli also conceded with a grateful bow.

"We look forward to working with you, Great Teacher Eli!" The team cheered in unison.

And so the team started to work on fast tracking the water heating and pressure system project.

Meredith and Randel were incharge of crafting the components of the system according to Eli's design, while Zeke and Bramwell work on embedding magical aspect on the entire mechanism.

Eli naturally, would be the chief and designer.

With her project management skills from her profession in her previous world, Eli smoothly navigated the team in completing the project.

This made the two grandmasters who acted as consultants amazed by Eli's prowess. They felt as proud as a father would, seeing their daughter shine.

--

While Eli's project team was busy on fast tracking the completion of the project, Leon on the other hand was also doing his best in completing the research he was doing regarding the madman's records.

However, this time he was sure to remind himself from time to time to take a rest and look after his health as he promised to Eli and his Queen Mother.

Elder Leprechaun also gave him insight from time to time. He also considered the reports given by Blaze through the efforts of the Roaming Blade.

It didn't take him that long to finally summarize the results of his investigation and present the report to his Father Emperor.

Sitting in his Father Emperor's receiving area, Leon solemnly handed the results of the report.

Leon sat wordlessly as he allowed his Father Emperor to skim through the pages of the report.

Silence rang so loudly in the spacious red and gold themed room, with the golden sunlight gently lighting up the area where the father and son were sitting.

As Emperor Valentin read through the files, his expression became darker and darker. Soon he couldn't contain his emotions.

"This!!!" Emperor Valentin shouted in alert. His body trembled with a grave expression on his face, as he tried hard not to crumple the report he was holding.

"Leon, are you sure about this?" He said with a cold and sharp tone. Leon knew that this coldness was not directed to him but to the perpetrators of the report.

"Yes father. This is by far the most probable hypothesis I could create based on the records." Leon replied with a solemn face.

"The goal of the Spectre is undoubtedly to create an artificial way to obtain the open paths." He said with a shape glint on his crystal blue eyes.

"By doing that, they must succeed in two things.

First, succeed in artificially extracting an asani's receptors and ensure that it all stays alive.

Second, was to succeed in getting a human body, one without any sense of self, and transfer the receptors in it." The coldness in his voice was getting lower and lower as he continued to explain.

"With the records we already know that they had succeeded in the first stage, but how about the second one.." Emperor Valentin asked in contemplation.

"They had already started it… By abducting pregnant women." Leon replied, obviously disturbed.

He clenched his fist as he tried to control himself, with a shivering voice he continued,

"A human, suitable enough because of their lack of sense of self… Who in the world could they be but the poor unborn infants!"
