Chapter 63 - Morpheus Somnus(10)

LIA'S POV:-

"They are the most important people of my life. I need you to find them if you can, spread their figurines all around the world. It's not just for the Devils and the Adventurers but also for the King of Elves and the King of Humans. I need you to spread these figurines everywhere and whoever finds them shall be given whatever he asks for," Morpheus pauses before looking around and speaking again," Even Godhood."

"I TAKE AN OATH TO FULFILL THAT PROMISE," Morpheus spoke again with the same 'divine' voice.

"AND I NEED YOU TO FORGET WHATEVER HAPPENED TODAY, ABOUT THE DEVILS' ATTACK, THEIR FAILURE, DESTRUCTION OF ESLAINE AND OF COURSE, ME AND MY PARTY. YOU WILL FORGET EVERYTHING RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW, AND MOVE TO ESLAINE LIVING YOUR DAILY LIFE WHILE THE DEVILS WILL SLOWLY LEAVE THE CITY ON THEIR OWN...." Morpheus gave a long speech this time.

To summarise it, except the fact that the Human King and Elf King are here and the task to spread the figurines with cautions they will forget everything. Instead, the Devils will remember that due to the sudden appearance of the Human King and the Elf King, I, Princess Lia was saved and they had to escape from here. There were other small miscellaneous details, Morpheus put in the speech like they will remember everything after 2 or 3 years, they will remember the Oath as a divine calling and spread it as such in the continent.

Surprisingly, only Supreme Mages and below were affected not including me and a few more people who are probably in Morpheus' party.

Morpheus then turns at the Human King, then at Father before speaking, "you must have a lot of questions regarding everything. Let's go somewhere more secluded."

The others nod at it before Morpheus starts walking towards Eslaine again.

I look back to see all the Devils, Humans and Elves walking blankly behind us as we follow Morpheus.

Soon we reach an inn named Kitten's Paw and enter Morpheus' room.

Currently, there are 20 people present in this room.

Morpheus, father, mother and Human King Allen are sitting around a table facing each other.

Pixie Queen Aria and Wood Fairy Queen Leilena are sitting at the table.

Yavanna and Zwain are right beside Father.

Istan and I are beside mother.

Karina and Alethia beside Human king, Allen.

The handsome young teenager and Unia Devil beside Morpheus.

His brothers along with the white-haired adventurer; Lucy, the old man; Kaneto, the adventurer's guild master; Adolphus are standing in a circle around us.

Another unconscious person; Royal mage of Skapia, Arlington is too present here.'When was he brought here? I don't think he was here when we entered the room.'

Everyone is waiting for Morpheus to speak, the more he remains silent the more tense the atmosphere becomes. After staring at the Kings for quite a few moments, Morpheus finally spoke as a smile forms on his face.

Morpheus: What is it that you want King Allen?

Allen:...

Allen: sigh...All right. I'll be the one to start then. Morpheus, are you from the heavenly realm?

Morpheus:... I don't know about this heavenly realm. Can you elaborate more?

Allen: Then forget it. It's a taboo topic to talk about anyway. Now my next question, what is your purpose? What is it that you want?

Morpheus: My purpose, huh? Sorry, but that is something I can't answer.

Allen: Well, I expected that much, all right, the next one, might sound rude to you but is it possible that you are going to be a threat to humans?

Morpheus: Oh! There is nothing to be rude about it, and yes if things turn the way they shouldn't turn and someone does something he or she shouldn't do, I won't hesitate to erase a race or two from this planet. At worse, I'll just erase the planet itself, but that is something at the very extreme and I will try every way possible not to let that happen. So, don't worry about it.

Geralt (Elf King): And you think we will let you do that? You might be strong but do you really think you can defeat 2 Kings at once? And also, you might be an idiot if you forgot about the laws. Anything that goes against them will perish or else there would have been far fewer races in this world right now.

Morpheus: Laws? Can you elaborate?

Geralt:...

Allen:...

Geralt: Don't tell me you don't even know that much. Are you...no let me ask this very non-sensical question, how long have you been in this world? Surely it must have been at least 50-60years, right?

Morpheus: I will be turning 9 years old next month.

Allen:...

Geralt:...

Everyone:...

Allen: Haha...hahahahahhah...Hey Geralt, I think I heard something wrong. Can you tell me what he really said?

Geralt: Morpheus, don't joke about it. If you don't want to tell us just say so, no need to make things more complicated.

Zwain: Ummm, Your Majesty, he isn't lying.

Geralt:...

Allen:...

Geralt:...Don't you think he might have some special tricks to twist around your magic too? He clearly is weird, you know?

Zwain: Ummm...Pardon the bluntness, Your Majesty but why would he need to do that?

Geralt:...

Allen: And I thought I wouldn't see another genius of the century when I saw your brother getting such massive enlightenment at such a young age. The world surely is a mysterious place. Sigh

Morpheus: Do you have any other questions?

Geralt: Yeah, what is your deal with the Devils?

---

From there on the conversation continued for a long time till Morpheus explained many things about how he became the supposedly future 'Saviour of the Devils.' Along with other small facts like his current task is Heaven's Library to collect some information, etc. Although he answered most of the questions, whenever it came to his past or far future he would generally remain silent or answer with a 'no'. Even when asked about his power level he only said, "I had an enlightenment and I worked hard on my ability to think faster." Only a fool would believe that.

Soon the conversation reached the point where it was Morpheus' turn to ask questions.

And the first question he asked was.

Morpheus: Would you like to make a deal with me?
