Knight Lords: Infinite Simulation and the Path of Light

Chapter 32 Adventure Rules, Rule 1

Happy times always pass very quickly. After Haven and five or six real seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys in the team played various games,

The group of friends, who had become quite familiar with each other, were eager to become sworn brothers on the spot. However, this might not be a common practice in this world, as friendships among young people tend to be swift and intense.

"Will, are you sure you don't need me and Kaka to help you with your things? You can move in with me today. I have lots of fun things here."

Haven patted Paimon on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"It's okay, no need. I'll pack my things and come over by myself tomorrow. Besides, I've already paid for the room, so the owner can't possibly refund it."

After saying goodbye to his new friends at the tavern entrance, he turned and headed to his hotel.

It was nearly 3 a.m., and there were hardly any people on the street. Haven, who was a little tired from playing, kept yawning.

"Hey, Keke, are you sure that kid really went to the Adventurers' Guild? We've been waiting for ages, it's past midnight, he should be crawling back by now. Could it be your lover is lying to you?"

Wearing a tattered leather armor, Coco was also a little confused. Linda had told her herself after they finished their business that a rich, foolish young man had come to the hotel that day. He was very generous and gave her a silver gros for doing a simple wash. He even asked if there were any caravans heading to the capital.

Later, after she pressed him for details, she learned that it was Blue, the hotel waiter who had been harassing her, who said that the silly boy's every move made him seem like a rich man, and that he was probably a rich kid who had secretly gone out to experience life.

This gave Keke, who had lost everything in the rat's den a few days ago, an idea in mind. Although he was an adventurer, he didn't mind making some quick money sometimes.

“Impossible,” Linda said. “That kid’s clothes are still drying in the hotel. Let’s wait a bit longer. If it doesn’t work, we’ll leave. I’ll go to the hotel again tomorrow.”

"Then tell me, we haven't seen a single person yet. What's going on? If you don't treat me to a bath today, I'll..."

Shh~ Coming, coming!

Upon hearing Keke's voice, everyone quickly bent down and saw a thin figure emerging from the end of the road.

Hevent drank a bit too much dark beer that night, which caused him to take the wrong turn. If he hadn't seen a patrolling guard and asked him, he probably wouldn't have realized something was wrong until dawn.

With the dice Paimon had given him in his hand, Havel won almost every round of the next dozen or so, except for a few losses at the beginning when he didn't understand the rules. Seeing his new friend being so brave, Paimon was excited and wanted to take Havel to a good place.

"Hey buddy, wait a minute."

Lost in thought, Haven looked up and found three people in front of him. He turned around and saw two more people behind him. The leader was wearing leather armor and carrying a spiked mace. He was looking at Haven with a sinister smile.

"It's so late, I'm really sorry to bother you. We're a bit short on cash lately and were wondering if we could borrow some money from you."

Haven stopped, looked at the situation, scratched his head, and was puzzled. This was Riverwood, after all. Were these people really this brave? Robbing people in broad daylight... or rather, in the dead of night?

"No way, you idiot! Get lost, or I'll call for help!"

Seeing Haven's tactless behavior, Coco's face darkened even more.

"Kid, since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me."

"Wait a moment"

Seeing that the other side was about to make a move, Haven quickly reached out to stop them.

When Coco saw Havent stop moving, a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Kid, what's wrong? Got it? Good thing you've figured it out."
To avoid physical harm, and remember that money is just an external thing, leave the money behind, and we brothers will spare your life.

"No, I wanted to ask, if I kill you all, wouldn't that be considered doing a service to the people?" After hearing Haven's words, in the moonlight, you could clearly see the veins on Coco's forehead throbbing. He then became furious and embarrassed. How dare this brat!
"Go get him, cripple him!"

Seeing Coco charging at him wielding a spiked club, Haven once again acted like a chuunibyou and covered his left eye.

"Apologize to Death, Skuyomi~"

Facing the axe coming from behind, Haven seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, bending forward to nimbly dodge it, and then kicked the man away with a powerful back kick.

呛~
With a crisp sound, Haven drew his longsword from his waist to block the hunting knife that came from his left.

With a twist of his body, he retaliated, striking Keke hard on the bridge of her nose with his elbow. On the spot, Keke's eyes and nose were filled with tears and snot.

Taking advantage of the opponent's temporary loss of players, the situation immediately turned into a one-against-three battle. After quickly glancing at the situation on the field, Haven smiled confidently.

He swung his longsword and slashed twice at the short man on his left, who was holding a hunting knife. The short man couldn't withstand the combined force and fell to the ground.

He then jumped back two steps to dodge the wooden stick that was being thrown at him, and stepped on the top of the stick with his right foot. A white light flashed, and the burly man holding the stick clutched his neck and knelt helplessly on the ground.

Blood gushed out, and the gaunt man who was standing behind, intending to attack from both sides, was so frightened that he froze on the spot.

"Ahhhhhh! My nose, my nose, it's broken! Kill him!"

A mournful scream echoed from the deserted street.

Having completed his strike, Haven turned to look at the two people behind him. At this moment, the man who had been kicked away earlier also stood up and looked at Haven, whose face was smeared with a few drops of blood, as he slowly walked over with his sword.

Unable to withstand the pressure, the two shouted and charged forward, weapons in hand.

Havel performed a sword flourish, holding the longsword upside down, leaning slightly forward, and quickly gathering power in his legs. In a flash, Havel appeared behind the two.

Two muffled thuds sounded, and by the time Haven turned around, the two were already crawling on the ground, blood gushing from their necks soaking a large area of ​​the ground.

"Kid, even if you beg for mercy now, I'll still..."

ah!!!!"

When Keke finally managed to stop crying and opened her eyes, she thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

At this point, only he and the short man who had already wet his pants remained on the field; the other three companions were lying in pools of blood.

The dark clouds in the night sky dispersed, revealing the moon that had just been obscured. The moonlight shone on Haven, making him look like a warrior of the goddess of the night.

Coco's hand holding the spiked club was already trembling.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please let me go. Just pretend you've never seen me. This is Riverwood, the guards will be here soon. Murder is a crime."

However, Haven ignored Coco's words, slowly walking towards the two with his longsword resting on the ground. The tip of the sword drew a long line on the ground. He stood in front of Coco, shook his head, ignored the other's pleading eyes, and coldly said...

"That won't do. Dad said everyone has to be responsible for their own actions. It just so happens that I was able to beat you today, but if someone couldn't beat you, they would be in big trouble."
