SON OF THE HERO KING

Chapter 526  CH 486: LET\'S GO CRAZY

Sol shook his head, “We live in a world where murder and betrayal even between family members are as common as clouds. You, more than anyone else, should understand this.”

Sol knew, under the tender traits of a ditzy genius who only focused on forging, was hidden a ruthless businesswoman who would have no hesitation in sticking a knife in the guts of her own brother — Which she did.

Theresa was not a kind woman and kindness was not her only personality trait.

“So…Do you doubt me?”

Her words were calm but there were some hurts in her voice. She wondered if Sol was wary of her because of her past ruthlessness.

“No.”

Sol chuckled as the third eye opened on his forehead, “I literally coexist with the weapon you created. You are one of the people I believe the most in this world. But it’s exactly because of this that I need to tell you how grateful I am.”

Theresa did many things for Lustburg and for him. Both small and little.

It was without a doubt thanks to her that she was able to affect fate so easily. If he did not have the Eye of Akasha he would not be able to see the thread of Fate, making everything far more difficult for him.

It was thanks to those threads that he managed to fight and beat Nihil to the point of making her comatose.

It was thanks to those threads that he was able to anticipate Invidia’s hostility, find out that Aurora was suspicious, change the body of Lilith and even find those ruins.

Now, thanks to her, the causality in the upcoming war would lower tremendously.

Saying that Theresa was one of the cornerstones of his strength and one of his greatest benefactors would not even be enough to explain just how much he owed her.

Sol tightened his grip on Theresa’s hand, “Thank you.”

One needed to show gratefulness when necessary and never take things for granted. Doing so was the best way to protect long terms relationships and keep them blooming.

“Heh…You truly have a sweet tongue.”

 Theresa smiled.

If she said that the favor she gave to Sol in the past was without any hidden goal, she would be lying.

After all, she indeed didn’t know him in the past. She became his godmother through some sort of auction as a joke with Blaze and the others.

Her only true relationship with him was that he was the son of her past crush and her friend.

At first, her goal had only been to have fun, get some benefits from him and name him as her inheritor. Not only would this make all dwarves back off and fear her, even more than they already did, but it would also create a solid relationship with him.

But now…

“I am glad I came to Lustburg.”

Sol was proving to be her lucky star. Thanks to him she had created her greatest masterpiece and thanks to him, she just created an epoch-changing weapon of war.

He treated her well and did not take her for granted.

He could joke around with her but still respected her despite being vastly stronger.

He knew she would work for him but he never looked down on her.

One could say that everything she said was basic. This was how intelligent people should treat each other. With basic respect and appreciation.

But how many people in this world did something that basic?

She shook her head, “Anyways, I am not one that is into moving moments like this. Let’s just say that you owe me one.”

“Heh. I owe you far more than one. You can ask me anything and I will do it.”

“Anything? Blank checks are dangerous, you know?”

“I trust you enough to know that you would not ask for something unreasonable.”

“Heh…Okay. Just don’t regret those words later on.”

“I never regret.”

Sol immediately winced as he said this because he could see the mischievous light in Theresa’s eyes flashing.

He had forgotten because of the moment but Theresa was the kind of daredevil who didn’t hesitate to steal the belongings of a demigod-like echidna while being chased by monsters wishing to kill her.

“Well —-”

“Nop. I won’t listen. You said anything and no regret. Or perhaps, are the words of the future king so cheap?”

‘Kuh…’

Sol groaned as he stood up and coughed, “My words are worth diamonds.”

“Hehe.”

“*Ahem* Well, why don’t we talk about those armors?”

“Nice try. But I will play around with you.”

Theresa moved the holographic display and continued, “This is just the first generation and obviously, I am unable to give clear numbers outside of theory. I need you to bring me soldiers who will wear those and participate in mock combat. The more data I have the better they will be suited for war.”

“How long do you need?”

“Honestly? I don’t know. The main problem is that I work alone with perhaps the help of Milaris. If I could have someone who was good at runes, my efficiency would skyrocket.”

Sol nodded. There was only so much someone could do alone. Even more so when it came to things such as mass production.

Theresa was not even a Duke. So her computing abilities and skill in multi-tasking were also very limited.

Thankfully, there was one very easy solution for this matter.

“You say you need more rune craters? Would it be good if they have knowledge of science and also add many great ideas?”

“Well, yeah.”

“What about magic?”

“Obviously, this would also be useful.”

“Heh…Then, I have the perfect assistant for you in mind.”

Sol wanted to kick himself in the foot for not thinking about this sooner.

In this world, there was only one person he knew who had memories of another world like him and was such an otaku that she created her own power based on anime.

“What do you say about having the witch of destruction as an assistant?”

The Chunni mind of Kali mixed with the genius of Theresa.

Sol shuddered just at the thought of what those two could create if they were to work together.

‘Hum…Perhaps I am making a mistake?’

The pictures flashing in his mind were so frightening that he had goosebumps.

“I will also add Duchess Milaris. She will be relieved of all other duties.”

Sol’s eyes flashed with determination.

Since he was betting he had to go all out without any hesitation.

Milaris was a genius to such a level that even the goddesses gave her a gift.

Three super geniuses who had fields that complemented each other and all had a few screws loose.

‘What a frightening team.’

“Oh? Any limitations?”

Theresa asked with an eyebrow raised.

This was it. This was the moment for him to put an end to this madness and take a step back to think deeper.

But…

Fuck this shit.

“None. Go all out. The full strength of Lustburg will be behind you three. I don’t care how much you spend or what resources you use. Go all out!”

Sol was determined.

He wished to witness with his own eyes.

Just what kind of crazy shits those mad women would create.

“Hehe… I will not disappoint you.”

Though, this sounded a little too ominous.
