Knight Lords: Infinite Simulation and the Path of Light

Chapter 68 Hermaeus Mora (Please continue reading)

Lying on the ground, Haven looked at the faded space, somewhat bewildered, not quite understanding what was going on.

"Who? Who's talking?"

The strange situation made Xiao Hai feel a bit of an urge to urinate, but clearly, now was not a good time to pee.

Just as Havent was about to lose his temper, a ripple appeared in the space in front of him, and then a bunch of wriggling tentacles appeared out of thin air, each tentacle with many large and small yellow eyes.

Looking at the somewhat disgusting mess in front of him, Haven's face turned deathly pale, as if he had been contaminated.

Ah~~~~~~~~
Hello, young man.

It seems you haven't mastered this power yet; using it on me will only break your spirit.

As he spoke, a beam of yellow-green light shot towards Havent's head, and Havent, who had lost control of his body, could only watch helplessly.

To Haven's surprise, the yellowish-green light entering his head actually made his headache disappear.

As the headache subsided and Haven regained control of his body, he stood up and examined the thing that looked like a multi-eyed octopus.

"Child, you should learn to be grateful. I just helped you, and instead of saying thank you, you even criticized me."

Hearing the sound coming from who-knows-where, Haven was startled.

"You can even read people's minds?"

"Hehehehehe, an interesting idea. Even if I am a demon god, I cannot casually discuss the thoughts of mortals."

"Child, if your expression wasn't so obvious, believe me, it wouldn't be so easy for me to guess."

Hearing the tentacle monster say this, Haven breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that this self-proclaimed demon god had no intention of killing him, he began to furtively survey the room again.

Serena lay motionless at his feet, not even blinking. Not far away, the raven hag, supported by tentacles, also stood frozen in place with a ferocious expression, not even moving the fire burning beside her.

'Holy crap, this tentacle monster's got some nerve. Is it calling "cut" now?'

"Child, you can watch openly and honestly, you don't need to watch secretly."

Having his innermost thoughts exposed by the tentacle monster once again, Haven blushed slightly and looked up to examine the document seriously.

'Hmm... I'd rather read the newspaper; this person is simply utterly lacking in aesthetic appeal.'

"It seems you've calmed down now. Don't be too surprised. This is just a very simple time-stop spell. I don't want anyone to interrupt our conversation."

Let me formally introduce myself. I am Hermeyus Mora from the Desolate Abyss.

Looking at the constantly wriggling tentacles and the countless eyes on them, Haven gave an awkward laugh and then performed a noble salute.

"Hello, um... Mr. Mora?"

"If you prefer to call me that, then you may call me that."

"Alright, hello Mr. Mora, I'm Haven Hylan from Whiterun in the North. Um... it's nice to meet you~"

"Hahahaha~ You little rascal, you don't mean what you say. Alright, to avoid making you panic, I'll explain my purpose." Hearing this, Haven was also a little curious. After all, he was supposed to be the heir of a great warlord in the North, but in the eyes of this god, he should be about the same as a bug.

“You have a strange scent about you, a feeling of destiny, and that’s why I came here.”

Haven scratched his face unconsciously, not quite understanding what the tentacle monster meant.

"Havent, you should be able to see the future briefly, right?"

Upon hearing this, Haven's face, which had just regained its color, instantly turned deathly pale. His biggest secret had just been exposed!
"Hehehehehe, don't be afraid. Your expression shows that I was right. Rest assured, I have no ill intentions. Although this is an enviable ability, I don't lack it. To me, your appearance is like meeting a kindred spirit."

"How about it? Isn't this ability to see the future interesting?"

Seeing his secret exposed, Haven decided to stop pretending. After all, he couldn't win a fight or escape anyway.

"It's very interesting and convenient, which saves you a lot of detours."

"Hahahaha, that's true. No one can resist this temptation. But I still have to remind you, if you want to change your original fate, then be prepared for any outcome."

Okay, I mainly came to see you today. As someone of the same kind, I'll give you something as a gift.

Looking at the large eye in the center of the tentacle monster, Haven was still very curious about where the sound was coming from.
"Um, we've only just met, it's not really appropriate for you to give me a gift. My dad told me not to accept candy from strangers before I left home. Um, well, I quite like how I am now, even though my tentacles are quite flexible and multifunctional, but, but~~~~~~~"

Upon hearing Haven's words, the tentacles trembled violently.
"Hahahaha, interesting little guy. You're not worth my scheming. But since you're so worried, then just treat this gift as an exchange. There's an ant recklessly using my power. Find him and kill him."

Hearing the tentacle monster say this, Haven was still a little worried, but the situation was beyond his control. If he didn't agree, the tentacle monster might kill him with a single tentacle.

"Alright, you see, you're too kind. I'll take care of this little thing. Mr. Mora, you're too kind. How do I find him? Who is he?"

"You don't need to look for him. You will meet him in the future. According to your human terms, he should be a legendary mage."

"Fine, fine, fine. If you ever run into me, I'll make you pay! You'll be... what?! Legend has it!"
Mr. Mora, well, I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm only at the beginner level right now...

"Well, you're such a great man, I actually think that if you strangled him with your own hands, he would realize his mistakes more clearly."

The tentacle monster's flippant tone made it sound as easy as crushing an insect.

"Hahahaha, just treat this as a game. Since it's a game, you have to follow the rules."

Okay, something interesting happened. What a troublemaker!

After speaking, the tentacle monster paused for a moment, then glanced at Serena lying on the ground with its middle eye.

"Hmm~ What a perceptive lady, noticing it so quickly!"
Haven, I'm leaving now. This is a gift for you, so that in the eyes of the gods you won't seem like a torch in the night."

As soon as he finished speaking, a tentacle instantly pierced Havent's head, and the pupil in the middle suddenly flickered.

'So that's how it is~~~~~~~~'

"Alright, Haven, we'll meet again. Cherish the power of knowledge."
