Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

The more he investigated, the more he understood what it could be, so he frowned.

'A token with encrypted words... Strange, I seem to have seen some of these words on the scrolls I found in those cellars.' He thought and pulled out some of them to continue his research.

A token with encrypted words could not be something normal. They could perfectly well be words to open some strange thing, like a lock, for example.

He had researched the other tokens and knew they didn't have this mechanism. Seeing that this one was taken from such an influential person as Philip Baker, it should be something of value that was encrypted there.

Throughout his research, he kept the token partially frozen to avoid being traced.

After checking for a while, he frowned.

'They are encrypted words with ancient language... It's hard for someone to know if they don't know the ancient language, but it's not that complicated for me. Still, with all my knowledge, I still don't know much about this world, and that limits what I can find out.' Matt thought.

But he had noticed one thing.

What was here appeared to be a location.

'But I don't understand where it is or if it's of value or not...' He thought.

But it certainly wasn't hard to figure out.

These scrolls with encrypted words are not used by the nobles who died; they are simply the results of their research into that organization. They found that that organization seemed to have a whole book of encrypted words with different meanings for different situations.

Then, as long as he can obtain more encrypted words, he can determine the location of this place.

'I also need a map to verify the location. I'll ask Alice for it later.' He thought, and just then, he heard another noise outside the hallway.

'Alice?'

He immediately realized that the sound of walking belonged to her, so he got up, and just then, Alice came through the door.

She was alone and sweating; she seemed to have run here at full speed.

When she saw Matt, joy shone on her face, and she jumped on him to hug him.

"Matt, it really is you!" She said, her worried voice finally subsiding and a great weight lifted from her heart.

Although she could tell Matt was alive, she didn't know if he had been captured and was being tortured or something like that, so the worry in her heart hadn't diminished at all these days.

Still, seeing that he was okay made all the weight off her heart disappear instantly.

Matt nodded to her, "I had to run here after escaping from that guy..." He said, and then he told her about what had happened, though he avoided telling her why he had managed to run away.

She could understand this, so she didn't ask anything about it.

"Then Philip Baker is the culprit." She said coldly after listening to everything Matt had to say.

Matt nodded at her but sighed slightly.

"Still, Philip Baker is not an easy person to blame. He has 20,000 power or more, so the vampire world needs him as a major force of the vampire race. If we wanted to blame him, we would need to find verifiable proof." He replied.

Alice nodded, "I understand, Matt. But this time, I think we've won quite a bit. The information we have is more precious than I expected, and already, my Clan forces are inside the guild." She smiled and pulled out some scrolls.

"Look. They are uncles I respect and admire. They are helping me, and they sent me a lot of important information regarding the missions. I'm sure if we complete all the procedures, we can advance in rank in the guild." She spoke.

Matt was surprised by her words and grabbed the scrolls.

After flipping through them for a moment, he was a bit stunned and looked at her.

"Did you really get that much good information? This is unbelievable; what rank do your uncles hold in the guild?" he asked in shock.

With this information and the murders they achieved earlier, they could complete a whole murder case and close it easily. As long as they had evidence to hand over of the 'killed', then it would be enough for the case to be fully closed and them to be rewarded.

Alice smiled and puffed out her chest in pride, "Hehe, that's why I told you we'd do some cheating. They are the Acting Masters of the guild currently, though they will soon be transferred to another city so as not to arouse suspicion." She replied, smiling, and Matt nodded.

"That makes sense, but this is pretty precious. We need to call Miss Assassin from that time on so we can complete the mission properly. Have you seen her recently?" Matt asked, and Alice nodded.

"I already called her; she should be here any minute." She replied, and Matt nodded.

Then Alice looked at Isla lying on the bed.

"How is Isla?" Alice asked.

She was looking at her a little more...

Radiant? She felt like something had changed in her, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

Matt nodded to her. After checking her pulse and such, he smiled.

"She's recovering at a steady rate. She's unconscious, but it shouldn't take her long to regain consciousness; her brain seems to have recovered considerably." He replied, and Alice nodded.

'She certainly looks radiant.' She thought, but she stopped thinking nonsense, and just at that moment, a lady in black robes came through the room's door.

"It looks like I've come at a good time." She said, catching both of their attention.

So, the three of them soon began to assemble all the documents they needed to deliver to the guild.

There weren't many, and Matt took care of everything, as he understood the missions the most. In the meantime, Miss Assassin brought more information that complemented everything.

Plus, information that Matt needed.

For example, regarding the dagger those guys use, it was information Matt 'bought' from her, showing her precious information so she wouldn't forget. As soon as she could, she started telling him.

Basically, this dagger carries with it a curse that is used to control, locate, and prevent a betrayal. But to create such a curse, humans (or vampires) must create an ultra-powerful spell, which takes tremendous power to cast.

It is a spell that is used with blood, which is why vampires can use it. However, it is a forbidden spell among the vampire race since it is used to control vampires.

That is why this woman is sure that this organization's power is higher than it is believed.

This left Matt a bit thoughtful. He also didn't know why this organization was created, and that was annoying.
