Chapter 306

Lucky 306

[Shout out to Aviral Jaat.]

Esmeralda finished the battle, leaving a mountain of dead Aberrants behind her.

Her gaze was so deep and heavy that anyone would instinctively avoid it. Only the strong and clueless could look at her without fear.

"General!"

Someone greeted her.

"Where is the matriarch of the Cudgel, Kimmy, I want to talk to her."

Esmeralda heard something absurd and wanted to hear the Matriarch's explanation.

"But General..."

"I don't want to hear any excuses, take me to her."

The pressure she released was so threatening that the poor guy peed himself.

"Y-yes!"

"Good, now get out of here, you are disgusting."

She frowned in disgust and the guy scampered away like a rat. An all-terrain vehicle met them and took them back to the base.

It was not long before Esmeralda reached Cudgel's base.

"I salute the mighty General of Dellia."

The old woman holding a staff greeted Esmeralda. This woman was the first Master of Cudgel.

The woman who invented the Battlesuit and one of the pillars of her newly built country. Kimmy Cudgel.

"While I'm on the battlefield, I heard that you sold your Battlesuits to the neighboring countries! Do you want to explain?"

The atmosphere became suffocating, and tendrils of darkness surrounded them.

However, Kimmy was unaffected.

"I'm too old for this. I'm not afraid of your power, General."

Kimmy muttered and sat down. Her time was coming to an end and she was ready to accept death. If Esmeralda wanted to kill her, then so be it.

Kimmy's father was a half-dwarf and she learned some of the runes from him. The Runecrafting technology was already washed away by history and only small parts were preserved.

Unfortunately for Kimmy, she could not understand most of the Runes because she only had a quarter of dwarf blood in her.

This was the main reason why she looked old, because her human blood was stronger than her dwarf counterpart. She had the same lifespan as a human.

"... Why?"

Esmeralda's expression was ugly. She felt betrayed.

"Esmeralda, fifteen years ago this place was nothing but a desolate land where every tribe fought to expand their territory."

Esmeralda remembered the past. She had just come out of the Forest of Death and realized that many things had changed. The target of her hatred was already dead, and even the kingdom had changed its policy - to eliminate discrimination.

'Even if this 'Junian' turned to the good side, it's impossible to erase the sins they created.'

Esmeralda had to find out the truth, she felt that Junian was hiding something. But even a Demigod like her would never be able to defeat the mighty Junian. So she decided to increase her strength.

"The leaders made a treaty and founded the country. Even now, I'm afraid that this peace will end."

Fifteen years was not enough to consolidate the country's position.

"Selling the Battlesuits to Junian and Ancas will give us time to strengthen our country. Besides, the reason I created the Battle Suits is not for war. I created them to protect people from the threat of the Aberrants.

Most people did not have superpowers, but the Battlesuits enhanced their physical abilities. It was for protection against the monsters of the wilderness.

"We made a deal, the king and the president of both parties promised us two decades of peace. All we have to do is sell them the Battlesuits."

Their country was weak, and the two powers could overthrow the peace they were trying to keep.

"...So be it."

Esmeralda was still angry. It was hard to swallow the truth that even her strength was not enough to protect everything she had built.

"Thank you, my friend."

Kimmy smiled.

"I am already old. I talked to my children and grandchildren, and they promised to do their best to protect this country... Of course, they promise that they will continue to sell the Battlesuits to anyone who needs them, regardless of their nationality."

"..."

"I just hope they do not get greedy. Maybe one of them will get too smart. So smart that they will control the industry, but I will probably be dead by the time that happens, haha!"

She laughed heartily. Kimmy slowly closed her eyes, she was already old and tired of war. She lost her parents when the Aberrants bulldozed her small hometown. When she grew up, she was caught in the friction between the tribes and villages and lost her loved ones.

"Thank you..."

The old woman never woke up again.

The general paused and her expression looked defeated. She sighed, perhaps holding back tears.

"I respect your decision. I will never interfere with your family unless they try to betray me."

She left the place. After a few minutes, she heard the sobs of the people who entered the room.

When she met the shining sun, Esmeralda remembered something she had already forgotten.

"Oracle, I have lost everything. I think I will never be happy again. Your prophecy is bullshit."

She spat out the disgusting feeling from her heart. All she wanted was the downfall of Junian.

"They are still a kingdom led by a king... This king probably knows something."

She walked away. Knowing that she would never see her friend again.

......

...

...

Calix, or more precisely Lucky T. Tiko, stopped at a bar to gather some information.

'Esmeralda only said that her daughter was in Junian, but she never said where... I feel like I'm looking for a needle in a haystack.'

He sighed. He did not know where to begin. Junian was too big.

'Considering that Esmeralda is a Dark Elf, I have to start with that clue.'

Calix stepped in and asked the bartender for a shot of gin.

"Ah..."

He sighed after drinking the smooth gin. He was already an adult and drinking alcohol now and then was not bad.

He looked around and saw people chatting, the usual scenes in a bar.

Next to him was a couple giggling.

"Hm, honey, I am going to eat you like Jeffrey Dahmer~"

"Oohh~ Kinda kinky~ Let's see what you can do."

The couple walked away holding hands.

"Puh--!"

Calix instinctively spat out his second glass of alcohol when he heard their conversation.

'What the hell is wrong with these people?'

Junian, the land of eccentric scholars.
