Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 81: The Library

The director smiled slightly, agreeing.

"That's right, its fascinating architecture, right? The lighting is also perfect, with the castle looking somewhat mysterious." Said the director, and Matt nodded.

It certainly was, as he said.

"Originally, it was intended to recreate a city as close to the Divine City as possible. But the architecture is so unique to that place that even if we use the greatest technologies and capabilities of this world, we still can't make it. In the end there remained this attempt, which is still fascinating." He said and then looked at Matt.

"If you like architecture, you could give the Central City of the World a tour. It's the closest to the Divine City, although they still didn't manage to capture the true essence of the Divine City."

Matt was surprised, 'That Divine City... I only know what Professor Reagan told me last time, but it seems to be a city from millions of years ago... I should try to do some research on it.' He thought and nodded to the director, who smiled.

"Well, let's go down then. Another day, you can look at this place in more detail." He spoke.

Soon, the eagle landed at the main castle of this place.

Someone came out to greet them.

"Director Noah, welcome." Said the man who had come out to greet them, and Noah Davies nodded.

"Long time no see, boy. You seem to have gotten stronger lately; I'm putting you in charge of my little eagle." Noah replied, and the man in front of him nodded.

Just then, a man came up behind him.

"Haha, Noah Davies, long time no see." Said the man, causing Noah to look up and find a 2-meter man standing there looking at them.

Noah smiled broadly when he saw him, "Haha, old friend, how have you been?" He said, and they both hugged for a moment.

The tall man looked at Matt and Isla, "He's the winner? I heard it was a man." He said, and Noah then introduced them.

"This is Matthew Dietrich, the one who won the tournament. It's the first time a freshman has won the tournament, so I have high hopes for him. And this is Isla Moore, his partner." He replied.

"Guys, this is Ryan Adams, one of the 3 Academy Leaders. Don't look at him like that he looks like a kid because of his attitude, this guy is so strong he could put me to sleep with one punch, hahaha." He spoke.

His identity naturally surprised Matt and Isla, 'One of the three Leaders?!' They thought in shock.

'I had heard that the 3 Academy Leaders were so powerful that their presences instilled fear, but this person... I don't feel like he's that powerful...' Matt thought. Still, he wouldn't doubt Director Noah's words, so they immediately greeted him.

"Greetings, Mr. Ryan. It's nice to meet you." They both said, and Ryan Adams smiled happily.

"Hahaha, okay, don't mind this old man here. Girl, if I'm not wrong, you should be Miss Sophia's subordinate, right?" asked Ryan, and Isla nodded.

"That's right, Mr. Ryan, do you know about me?" she asked doubtfully, and Ryan nodded.

"Well, I take care of that sort of thing. Miss Sophia asked me to tell you to go see her, apparently she already knew you were coming, so go see her." He replied, surprising Isla.

'Did Madame know I was coming? My God, how expected of her...' Isla thought, but still nodded to them and said goodbye.

"Matt, I'll see you later. When you're done, come find me. I want to introduce you to my Lady." She said with a smile and then left.

'Sophia? So, Isla is a subordinate of the Murphys...' Matt thought. He had heard that this Miss Sophia was unique in many ways.

Still, he paid no further attention to this.

"Young Matthew, follow me. Old man, wait for me in the office. I have several things to chat with you about." Ryan said, speaking to the remaining two and taking Matt for a walk around the castle.

They had to walk for over 1 hour, downstairs and up some more; there came the point where Matt felt they were no longer in that castle.

'How can it be so huge, my God, 1 hour walking and I still think I'm inside, but at the same time I feel like I'm not!' He thought until they finally saw the moonlight once again.

'Oh, the outside, finally.' Matt thought though they didn't stop there.

Soon, they entered a staircase going down and walked for over 20 minutes down, then up a staircase going up for another 30 minutes.

All along the way, he saw many people and different things. There were strange planting fields in this place; it seemed to be a place where experiments of all kinds were being done.

He even saw undead.

Until they finally surfaced again.

"The castle?" Matt said in surprise.

'How could we have walked for so long but come out in the same place?' He thought in shock, but looked up and didn't see the stars, 'Are we underground?' he thought.

Ryan Adams laughed a little.

"Haha, no. It's not the castle, but at the same time, it's part of the castle. You didn't see it when you arrived because this place is underground. It's a castle built under the ground; it's bigger than the main castle, but that's because there's only one thing here." He said, and they walked to the enormous entrance door.

The massive castle gate looked sturdy and worked with strange mechanisms.

Ryan Adams stepped forward and inserted a small card into an opening in the door.

Soon, the door glowed slightly and began to open.

"Boy, the answers to your questions are on the other side of this door. Anything you want to investigate is available to you, but you only have 24 hours to do it. So, choose very well what you want to investigate.

As a tidbit of information, the most powerful people when they come to this place focus on researching about the Theories of the past and the different abilities that have existed, so you can start there." He said and patted his shoulder.

"What you can find out in 24 hours is totally up to you." He said, and after pushing him inside, the door closed again, and the director returned to the main castle.
