Knight Lords: Infinite Simulation and the Path of Light

Chapter 118 Hitting someone is wrong
4th floor of Litanon Complex
"You little rascal, why did you hit someone again? You're just like your violent father, always causing trouble. I really don't know what to say to you. Can't you learn from your mother? She was a top graduate from college!"

Golza sat at his desk, looking at the seemingly harmless white-haired boy in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. It's only been a week, only a week, how come he's already beaten up a classmate again? This situation can't even be called a fight, after all, a fight requires both sides to exchange blows.

But looking at Haven's relaxed, even slightly distracted, expression, he didn't seem to have suffered the slightest harm. In contrast, I went to check on Freyr and the others, and they were in a truly terrible state!
"You brat, didn't your mother tell you that hitting people is wrong? We all go to the same school, and you're all from noble families. We see each other all the time, and you still hit so hard."

Thinking about this, and seeing his nonchalant and self-righteous expression, Golza felt an even bigger headache and couldn't help but rub his temples.

"Two mild concussions, one broken nose, one broken two ribs, and worst of all, you pulled out Freyer's teeth. Now his parents are demanding answers, what are you going to do about it?"

Haver was quite well-behaved at this moment, sitting quietly in the chair opposite the desk, fiddling with his fingers, looking around, but not answering Dagorzan's question.

"Hey kid, don't think you can get away with not answering. It's not that simple. Tell me, why did you take action? Freyr and his men aren't Southern nobles. In fact, you should be allies."

Golza tapped the table with his knuckles, making a loud thumping sound that drew Havent's attention. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, he shrugged helplessly and said:

"I did a heroic act, you know? The school should even commend me. Even if they don't hold a big ceremony to recognize me, they should at least give me a banner, a medal, or an award as a token of their appreciation."

Golza's eyelids twitched rapidly, seemingly surprised that Havent could utter such a shameless statement. He said with an incredulous expression:
"A heroic act?! My God, you beat five people so badly they couldn't get out of bed. That was a one-sided beating, and you call that a heroic act? Where was your heroic act?"

Seeing Golza's face flush red with emotion, Havent felt a little embarrassed and awkwardly scratched his nose, replying hesitantly:

“The girl didn’t want to have dinner with him, but he kept pestering her. I think Wuli was about to fall off her seat.”

"Look at Uli, she's so thin and small. If she falls, she'll definitely get bruises all over. My mom always teaches me that true nobility means stepping up for a lady when she needs you!"

Looking at the still somewhat proud Havent, Golza simply couldn't believe it. How could someone be so shameless? The worst part was that this brat was the child of his most dignified and sensible junior sister. It must be, it must be Kevin who influenced this little guy.

"Oh! Bullshit, so you beat them up here and there, good heavens! By the goddess of magic, I don't care anymore, it's a matter between you nobles anyway, so watch your behavior and stop hitting people!!!"

Golza looked at the little guy who was rambling on and on, scratched his head in annoyance, and couldn't help but regret agreeing to take care of him.
"Relax, relax, you have no idea what an obedient child I am, Master Golza. I promise I won't hit them again next time we meet."

After hearing Haven's assurance, Golza rolled his eyes repeatedly, waved his hand to indicate that Haven could leave, and a sense of exhaustion welled up from the depths of his heart. He couldn't help but wonder if he should just leave work and go to the bar across from the school for a drink.

Seeing that Golza didn't want to talk to him anymore, Haven decided to leave quickly. Otherwise, if he regretted it and his mother complained about him, life would become miserable. He stood up to leave, but halfway there, he seemed to remember something and turned back.

"By the way, Mage Golza. Do you know what Kubant has been up to lately? I feel like I haven't seen him in ages."

While scribbling on the table, Golza said without looking up:

"With the new semester starting, the school has assigned a lot of credits. He's not as relaxed as you, a freshman. He has credits to complete every semester. He should be working on his assignments and reports in the library these days. Why didn't he tell you?"

"Oh, I see. I think he mentioned it, but I wasn't paying attention. I'll go to the library to see him; I also have some questions I need to look up there."

Watching Havent's departing figure, Golza smiled knowingly. He had to admit that although Havent was very troublesome and annoying, he was also a really interesting little fellow, not at all like a nobleman. As if thinking of something, Golza gently shook his head and then leaned on his desk to continue writing.

Outside the Royal Library, Haven stood quietly under the magic streetlight, tilting his head back and slowly scanning the magnificent building before him, a strong sense of awe welling up in his heart.

The library is composed of three towering magic towers, which are connected by multiple mezzanine levels. Sunlight shines on the library's exterior walls, making them shimmer with golden light, like a dreamlike palace.

Although I had heard about it many times before, I was still awestruck by the magnificent sight before me. It truly lived up to its reputation as the largest library in the English Empire; its imposing grandeur was truly awe-inspiring.

Upon entering the library, one is greeted by towering, nine-story cylindrical bookshelves. People move up and down in elevator-like structures. Watching the crowds, Haven was momentarily at a loss as to where to find Kubant. After looking around, he noticed a service desk not far away and walked over to inquire.

Hello, classmate. How can I help you?

A sweet-looking, round-faced girl looked up at Haven.

"Ah, hello, excuse me, I have a friend studying here, and I'd like to ask where I can find him."

"You can provide his name and class."

Will scratched his head, realizing that he only knew Gridman as Gridman, but he wasn't sure what his other name was, and he had no recollection of his class either.

"Uh, his name is Kubant, a nobleman from the North, and a low-level warrior."

"Okay, student, let me check."

The round-faced receptionist quickly flipped through a huge magic book.

"Ah, here he is, Cuban Mori. The registration information here shows that he borrowed books in Section 9 on the third floor. You can go there and ask the staff for more details. They will tell you where to find him."

"Thank you. I still have some questions about magic that I need to look up. Where can I find the relevant books?"

"What type of problem do you need to find?"

Haven stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment and then said...

"Books on spirituality, meditation, magic recovery, and awakening and talent."

The round-faced receptionist flipped through the files and spoke with her colleague next to her.

"That's right. These kinds of books cover a wide range of topics, basically describing everything from magic apprentices to archmages. However, reading this kind of knowledge requires a lot of mental strength. I suggest you start by looking in the ninth section of the fourth floor."

"Okay, thank you."

After listening to the receptionist's introduction, Haven waved to the round-faced girl to express his gratitude, glanced at the sign, and left without noticing the note handed to him by the round-faced receptionist.

Standing at the elevator entrance on the first floor, Haven thought for a moment and decided to go to the fourth floor to find the book first, and then find Kuban to have dinner together before dinner. He remembered that he was still a member of Freya's Tear Room, so they could take a bath together then.

"Hello, which area do you need to go to?"

"Fourth floor, ninth section, thank you."

Haven stepped out of the elevator only to realize that he hadn't arrived at the central giant cylindrical bookshelf, but rather at a series of circular floors surrounding it, prompting him to exclaim once again:

"This is huge! No wonder it's the Empire's largest library; it really is enormous." Walking into Section Nine, a row of bookshelves, each five meters tall, stood side by side. Will randomly picked a shelf and went inside. What greeted his eyes was…
Basic Magic Theory and Periodic Theory of Elements

"The Mage's Understanding" and "The Basic Theory of Fire Element"

Basic Theory and Practice of Fire Element

On the Differences in Magic Across Different Regions

The Ten Commandments of Magic

Akay Meditation Method and Hilguro Meditation Method

The Meredith Meditation Method and the Azura Meditation Method

Mefara Meditation Method, Shergra Meditation Method

Varmina Meditation Method and Magnus Meditation Method

Looking at so many books, Haven felt his eyes were getting dizzy, and he couldn't help but think that he might not be able to find the book he needed for a while.

"Hey young man, it looks like you're having a little problem."

Haven turned his head slowly upon hearing the sound, and saw a figure standing quietly in the distance.

The man wore a grey magic robe embroidered with mysterious and intricate runes that shimmered faintly. On his head was a crown of mithril and aquamarine, the dazzling gemstones radiating a captivating light that made his long, snow-white hair even more dazzling, cascading casually over his shoulders. A tuft of equally white beard hung from his chin, extending to his chest, swaying gently in the breeze circulating within the library.

"Hey! Hello, sir, you look familiar!"

Haven's face showed a look of surprise at the sudden appearance of the mysterious old man, since there was no one there just a moment ago.

"Hehehe~ We did meet, when you were very young, but I didn't look like this back then."

Hearing the old man say this, Haven began to recall, and slowly the image of the old man by the fishpond in the depths of his memory overlapped with the person in front of him.

Speaking of which, the old man was his savior. When he was five or six years old, he ran away to play and squatted on the small dock of the fishpond to prepare to fish. Suddenly, a noisy sound came to his mind. When he woke up again, he was sleeping next to a fire and covered with a mage's robe.

The old man sat next to him, grilling a huge sea bass. Thinking back, the grilled fish tasted absolutely delicious. It was at that moment that Haven awakened his precognitive abilities.

"Oh my! It's you, Grandpa Alpha! You said we'd meet again, how come it's been so long? I almost didn't recognize you!"

After confirming that he hadn't mistaken Alpha for someone else and wasn't seeing things, Haven was as excited as a little sloth, leaping and landing on Alpha.

"Oh my, you little rascal, you're still so energetic. Let go, let go, my old bones can't take this kind of torment."

Alpha looked at Haven with a kind expression, just as he had ten years ago.

"What are you doing here? You said you'd take me on a trip last time, and then you suddenly disappeared."

Alpha patted Havent's head, gesturing for him to come with him. The two walked to a rest area and sat down, where the old man began to speak:
"I came to the capital this time mainly to take care of some things, and I happened to sense your presence. I remembered that you should also be starting school, so I came to see you."

"Can I go on a trip with you this time? School life is so boring, everyone is like a bunch of wooden dolls. You don't know, the day I first enrolled..."

As Alpha listened to Havent complain about his recent school life, he took out some snacks from his magic pouch and handed them to Havent, just like a grandfather and granddaughter in an ordinary family, creating a warm and sweet scene.

“This time it still won’t work, child. I still have some things to verify. Here, these are the specialties of Ansar City: flamingo jerky and cat’s paw fruit.”

Having received the snacks, Haven happily tore open the packaging, took out a thumb-sized piece of jerky, stuffed it into his mouth, and mumbled:

"Oh, I see. When can I travel with you? I'd love to see Estoril Bay, which you mentioned!"

"Hahahaha, you probably want to see a mermaid, you little rascal~"

Haven wasn't embarrassed that the old man had seen through his thoughts; he smiled at Alpha, revealing his neat, white teeth.

“Little Went, traveling isn’t very interesting for an old man like me. You can make some friends and then go together when the college is on break. That would be a wonderful story and a fantastic memory.”

Hearing that he still couldn't travel with Grandpa Alpha, Haven didn't seem too disappointed. He continued eating snacks as he asked:
"Alright then, what brings you to the capital this time?"

"There are some things you can't handle right now, but I do need your help with something. Would you be willing to lend this old man a hand?"

Hearing that Grandpa Alpha had something to ask of him, Haven immediately became interested.
"What is it, Grandpa Alpha?"

Alpha looked at Havent with a kind expression, gently stroking his beard with his right hand.

"I need you to go to the St. Colón Church in Hailar Province next summer to pick up something."

"No problem, leave it to me, I'll make sure it's done."

Hearing that it was such a simple matter, Haven readily agreed, thumping his chest loudly, since he had never been to other provinces before.

Alpha looked at Haven kindly, and under Haven's infectious joy, even the gloom in his heart lessened a bit.

"Hehehehe~ I really have to thank our little Vent. But there's a condition: you need to be a mid-level mage to go. That will make things go more smoothly."

"Intermediate level? That should be no problem. I'm really good when I get serious."

Looking at Havent's confident face, Alpha reached out and patted Havent's head again. As a legendary powerhouse, he naturally sensed several mysterious auras emanating from Havent.

"That's good, that's good. Then Grandpa Alpha can rest assured. Well, Grandpa has other things to do. Consider these things a gift for our next meeting."

As soon as Alpha finished speaking, his figure turned into starlight and disappeared in front of Havent, leaving only a necklace inlaid with a pale blue gemstone on the table in front of Alpha's seat.
