3 Chapter 3: Plans (2)

Bell stand up, with his big belly and all, and hugged his grandpa, he was really happy, then with a malicious face looked at Zeus.

Bell: " Well... you know that this gift is useless if you don't teach me how to use it, right?"

Zeus started to sweat, again he didn't see that coming. His grandson reminded him of Loki, the trickster god.

Zeus: "you win this time... okay I will teach you how to use it... but will also be considered as payment in the negotiations, so let's start... "

Bell: " Okay... Well...I would tell you whats is in the book, you won't be able to read it, and in exchange, considering all you have done for me until now, the excellent birthday and awesome gift, I want the swordsmanship and battle classes that we talked"

Zeus: " That's all? no tricks or something more?

Bell: "Hahaha grandpa you said that like if I'm a kind of swindler or something... but if you want we can add more stuff on the table ..."

Zeus: "Hmm I knew it... what do you want"

Bell: "Well, the phrase that describes the content of the book is not that surprising, but if you read it... - giving a pause for more drama- will blow your mind... I would let you read it and even work with me, but I want Falna..."

Zeus: "Impossible, I-I-I can't do that..."

Bell: "Come on grandpa, if it's not now, it will in the near future, better be prepared from the beginning that starts at the end.. I want to become a hero like stories you told me, I want to pick up girls in the dungeon and achieve the power to complete the 3 grand quests.. and clear your Familia name from the fact that you failed at the last one.." -Tears started to flow from his eyes- "I just want to live my life without anything stopping me from taking my own decisions, and do what I want..."

Zeus was stunned, he never thought that his little 2 year grandson will say something like that, powerful and brave. He has to recognize him, he wants all the thing that himself want for his life, be brave, take his own decisions, pick up girls in the dungeon... be a hero... and to finish the 3 grand quests.... Zeus firmly decided what to do.

Zeus: Okay, I will give you Falna, and also I will train you, but you won't stop flirting girls. We will have to work more on the farm because we need more money for the equipment and training stuff, be aware that life won't be easy and I'm a rough trainer."

Zeus was forgetting the book thing and his mind was full of training and prepare his grandson to be a pervert hero. Bell stopped crying and recomposed himself.

Bell: "Grandpa, about the money, I can help with that... lets read the book"

Zeus and Bell sit down in the living room. Bell told him that he was working in ways of making money to have a better start as an adventurer, better gear, better food, maybe a house, or even get a spell. Zeus was astonished, for him to think about all of this, was amazing, he imagined the bright future that waits for his grandson. Then he started reading the book, he didn't understand a thing.

Zeus: "What's all of this? two wheels? that's a cart? no, it's more weird.. and that other cart? why has a brake that big?.. and that is a window?"

Bell started to laugh but quickly stopped, it was a bad thing to laugh at people that don't understand something, it was rude and impolite.

Bell: "Grandpa, the wheel thing is what I call a bicycle and the cart with a back wheel its a pedal cart... the windows is a solar panel... and in the last one, that's is not a brake, its a yoke."

Zeus was processing all the names and imagining what they are when Bell started to talk again.

Bell: " The bicycle would allow people to travel faster between any route, the better condition the route the faster the bike can go. As they are for people transport only, I invented the pedal cart, which allows people to transport stuff, they will be tiny than a bull or horse cart, but they will be cheaper, they will only need a person to pedal. Even we can design a 2 or 4 pedal cart, bigger and with more people to drive it.... The solar panel is what I call an energy system. It allows us to transform the light of the sun into electricity and use to light the routes in the nights along with the village, or inside the houses"

Zeus: -with an open mouth and widened eyes- " you really mean it when you said you will blow my mind"

Bell started to laugh and hugged his grandpa

Bell: "Well, I think this will help us to make money. The problem is that I don't know how to build them, I'm too small and I would need the help of someone that can work with metals and wood.

Zeus: "Leave that to me, I can work the wood and the metal can be done for the blacksmith of the village... the raw material can be obtained from the traders and adventurers that pass by... I think we can make it ... I have some savings to start with the cheapest option. "

The day after Zeus gave Falna to Bell and told him that he would leave him alone for a week. His grandpa will go to a village in the vicinity to claim a few favors and make business relationships. If all was good, he would come back with training equipment, training weapons, and a possible business partner that will invest and expand his company to his village.

As the week passes by, Bell spent solving the biggest problem that they have, the solar panel and its photovoltaic cells. They need silicon for the cells and they could obtain it, but the blacksmith may have problems making it form sheets. The string that makes the circuit won't be a problem, but the light bulb would need a glass craftsman, maybe that project will be on pause, there no one that works glass in the village.

When Zeus arrived, he carried a cart full of stuff and bags. Bell was surprised by the level of commitment of his grandpa. The cart has equipment for training, different kind of weapons, a pair of trunks, and the rest was raw material. Iron, wood from the mid-level dungeon's floor, steel and valis, a full big bag of valis.

Bell was happy, he didn't want to think what his grandpa did to get to claim all this stuff like an old favor.

Zeus: - he sat down while sighed - "Well I think that we are ready, help me save the bags and vaults in my dorm and after lunch, the training will begin"

Bell was excited, he nodded and started to carry all the stuff to the dorm. The raw material was left in the cart, tomorrow they are going to the blacksmith to produce the yoke and the reinforcements for the wheels of the carts and bicycles.

After lunch and get some rest, Zeus picks Bell outside the village. His training will start, Bell has to run around the village 5 times, then do it again but with his new gear equipped, then again but with his sword in his waist, and finally 5 more but with his sword in hand.

Bell almost dies of tiredness after finished all the circuit, which was just the beginning. After that, Zeus told him that now he needs to take the training sword - which was a normal adult sword - and swing it vertically 100 times, then 100 times horizontally from both sides, and finally 100 upwardly swings. When he finished that, he would do his normal training, push up, squats, and pull-ups, but with the heavy equipment that Zeus brought.

Zeus: "This will make it, for now, you only have 2 years, although you are big and muscular for your age, I don't want to break you"

Bell felt a spark through his spine while listening to his workout, was hellish compared to his old one. But at the same time, he also felt excited, Zeus create one of the strongest Familias in the world and he knows what he does, the training sounds impossible for someone in his old world, less for a child, but in this world, the same logic doesn't work when you have Falna. Bell was anxious and happy, a great future awaits him.
