Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 85: A strange older man



After that, everything else was broken.

Yes, it appeared to be a poem in ancient language. But that poem gave him clues to tie in with the other book.

'The first one is that it seems something gave the end to the Dietrich Clan... What kind of existence could be so terrifying to murder people capable of destroying the sun?' Matt thought and felt his head hurt.

Apparently, the existences of this world were terrifying, one more than the other.

'The other thing...' He thought but stopped after feeling a presence staring at him in this mysterious and lonely library.

He turned to see the elder who had helped him earlier standing beside him, looking at the book he was reading.

"Boy, do you understand the ancient language?" he asked in surprise, and Matt nodded.

"That's right, I've studied a little, and I'm good at it." He replied.

"Ohh, this is the first time I've seen a little guy like you understand the ancient language well enough to understand this poem." He said and smiled.

"Are you interested in learning about the Dietrich Clan?" the elder asked, and Matt nodded at him.

"I feel their stories are fascinating." He replied, and the elder nodded.

"I hear you. I also feel they are fascinating. That is why I have spent many years in this place, trying to find all the books that talk about the Dietrichs and their history as a Clan. Actually, there are several, but only those you hold in your hand seem to be more realistic." He said and drew some books to his hand from the nearby shelves.

"It's unfortunate that the vast majority of books that talk about the Dietrich Clan are incomplete." He said, sighing.

Matt nodded, "Do you know what happened? Who ripped the leaves off them?" he asked, and the elder shook his head.

"I don't. Somehow, all the books that talk about Dietrich have been partially destroyed. Since I came here it's the same thing. That's why there are ways to record the information that happens here so that it will never happen again. That's why I researched many books in this place and tried to find information about it, but in the end, I found nothing.

Not even a clue." He replied and sighed once more.

From the pile of books he had attracted, he grabbed one that he couldn't open and passed it to Matt before he could speak.

"Here. If you like the history of the past and want to research more about Clan Dietrich, that book will give you information. You won't be able to open it until all three moons in the sky are at full moon, so you'll have to wait a while, but it will be worth it, believe me." He replied with a smile.

This surprised Matt, "Can I take it with me?" he asked hesitantly, and the elder nodded.

"Haha, normally no one can take anything from this place, but since you like the history of the Dietrich Clan, it would be a shame if you didn't understand more about them. Besides, take it as a gift from me towards someone who shares a surname with the greatest entities in this world." He replied with a smile.

Matt was happy, so he bowed slightly to him.

"Thank you very much, elder. I'll be sure to thank you in a better way next time I see you." Matt said, and the elder laughed.

"Hahaha, good, good. I only expect one thing from you, boy. That you follow the path you'll see there. Maybe you could be the one to make the Dietrich name great one last time. And if that time comes, remember this old man who still has a long time to live, hahaha." Said the older man as he laughed and then looked at the watch in his hand.

"Boy, it's been 24 hours. It's time for you to get out." He said and grabbed it, moving it at an immense speed of place, appearing on the first floor in a moment.

'Too powerful!' thought Matt, frightened by the intense power he felt in that brief moment.

Still, he didn't have time to react; the elder pushed him out, and in the end, he could hear his last words.

"Matthew Dietrich, good luck on your way. Don't die soon, hahaha." He said as he laughed good-naturedly.

And after his voice reached Matt's ears, the door slammed shut.

Matt sighed, 'What a strange old man.' He thought but smiled and looked back.

There stood Ryan Adams, looking at him.

"Boy, did you somehow manage to talk to and befriend the librarian?" he asked in surprise as he looked at the book in Matt's hand.

"He even gave you that book." He said, and Matt nodded.

"In a way. The elder is pretty strange but interesting." Matt replied, and Ryan Adams laughed.

"Hahaha, naturally. That old man has locked himself away so long to read; his personality has become a bit strange and eccentric." He said, smiling as he motioned for him to follow him.

"Still, if he ever comes out of there, you'll find that he's one of the greatest friends you could have ever made in your life."

"Why? Is he very powerful?"

"Yes, that old man is very powerful. Many people are afraid of him because, besides being powerful, he's crazy. If he hadn't chained himself up trying to figure out the Dietrichs, he'd be striking fear into all the powers of this world that trying to do weird stuff, hahaha."

Ryan Adams seemed to respect that person, which left an impression on Matt.

'...Great dragons are also in hidden places.' Matt thought with a smile.

After that, they returned the same way as before until they returned to the vast castle.

"Boy, that girl was waiting for you. Walk straight through there, and you can find your way out. Once old Noah and I finish what we have to do, we'll call you to come back. You can walk around the academy and get to know it; you'll have to come here soon anyway." Ryan said, and after that, he left on his side.

Matt then walked out of that place and soon found Isla, who was waiting for him quietly off to the side as students passed back and forth.

"Matt, how did it go? Did you find information on what you wanted?" she asked with a smile, and Matt nodded.

"That's right, I met a strange old man too. Did you see your lady?" he asked, and she smiled at him.

"Yes, come, come. I'll introduce you to her; she's waiting for us." She said with a smile and started to lead Matt to another place.
