Chapter 125: A dangerous mission? I will accept it.
Matt frowned as he heard this and opened the first scroll the King had bestowed upon him.
As soon as he opened it, he frowned.
A familiar name appeared before him again.
'Philip Baker... So, this is research about the traitors who turned to that organization...' Matt thought.
He was confident if it was a fact-finding mission, so he didn't need to consider much about it. Besides, if they gave him leads and people on the ground to use, everything would be easier.
But the situation was different this time.
The City of Clans was not just any city.
'He says there are at least two people as powerful as him... I don't know how powerful he might be, but I'm sure his power is far greater than Reagan Cooper's power.'
If he remembered correctly, the director mentioned to him that Vampire Clans tend to have powerful people with over 30,000 power, and back then, he saw more than three vampires flying.
So, maybe that power is not too far-fetched.
More importantly, when he met Sophia Murphy, a young girl still a student, he felt she was more powerful than Reagan Cooper himself.
'If she is so young and so powerful, perhaps it is attributed to her heritage, but then this King, who has been ruling for hundreds of years, maybe he is one of those legendary people who have a power of over 40,000.'
'Encountering such a powerful person like him in that City is more dangerous than facing four Philip Baker. So, the situation is different and very dangerous for me if there are two that powerful.'
People with over 40,000 Vampire Power are no small thing. They cannot be underestimated. Although they fall into the category of Superior Vampires, which is reached by surpassing 20,000 power, they are immensely stronger than any vampire with 20,000 power.
It's not just double; it's much more than that. They can turn vampiric power into a powerful weapon that takes the form you desire.
However, there is one more issue: the idea that this King in front of him does not simply have 40,000 Power but that he has reached the first great barrier of the Vampire World: 50,000 Power.
If he were the latter case, then the people inside the Vampire City would be terrifying, but it is not very likely.
It is known as the 'Great Barrier' because it is extremely difficult to reach and not everyone can do it.
Still, Matt knows nothing about that amount of power, so he doesn't understand what it means. He just knows that when they enter that amount of power, they enter the category called 'Vampire'.
'I seem to have read that reaching that milestone is too difficult, so that shouldn't be the case. Although I firmly believe that a weaker person can beat a stronger one as long as certain conditions are met, a condition cannot be met when the difference in power is that great, so I would have no way to defend myself against someone like that.'
'Besides, Philip Baker was able to break my frozen time when 1 second had passed, so it's possible that a person as strong as this king could break it immediately. That's a big setback for me.''
The more he thought, the more he realized that this mission was full of problems for him.
Even so, the entrance to the City of the Clans that is granted to him is important to keep in mind. From there, he could discover some valuable things about this world. Besides, although everything seemed to be a problem for him, it was not quite so.
If the king said the right thing, then he would have the help of Reagan Cooper and others who were possibly powerful. The Army Generals, for example, are known throughout the Kingdom and wield tremendous power, with large armies under their command.
In addition, all the targets to be investigated were not particularly strong. There were four, to be exact.
One of them was Philip Baker, who holds the position of Guild Master in the City of the Bloody Dawn. He is the second strongest to investigate. Despite that, he was sure that this guy was a traitor, so he didn't need to investigate him much.
The most powerful was a Marquis called the Marquis of Campbell. His status is very high in the whole kingdom, and he is the leader of the Campbell Family. He does not usually participate in social gatherings as he likes to keep a low profile, but he is as strong as Reagan Cooper. The latter and his family discovered the possible betrayal of the Marquess of Campbell.
The other two are weaker than Philip Baker but hold noble titles or high positions in the government.
If he only had to investigate people like that with the help of Reagan Cooper and other powerful people, he was confident of succeeding.
It was at that moment that Matt opened the other scroll, the one that mentioned the clues they had.
When he saw it, his eyes twinkled slightly.
'This won't be that complicated.' He thought as he saw this and smiled.
The status given to him was tremendous, but the mission seemed to be very dangerous. Still, they gave him such good clues and material to investigate those clues; how could he not accept?
Besides, the material to investigate the clues came in a format he wanted to understand: the encryption used by that organization.
That's why he smiled and looked at the King.
"If it is as you say, I will accept the mission and the rank you want to bestow on me." Matt replied.
The King then smiled and then laughed, "Hahahaha, good. Matthew Dietrich, under bloody oath, this Dark King grants you the thirteenth token of a Bloody Vampire General. As of today, you belong to this exalted group. All that this rank entails will be explained to you later."
"Now, for your current accomplishments at such a young age, I will take the trouble to add one star to your rank, so you will be a 1-Star Bloody Vampire General, boasting an incredible status, which puts you on equal footing with any General in the Army of the Five Kingdoms." Said the King and brought out a splendid uniform.
At the same time, he brought out a star to adorn the collar, which was a prized distinction for any General.
This star was unique, made of a tough and beautiful material.
Still, the fact that this star was to adorn the neck of a Vampire Academy freshman shocked everyone, including Matt himself.
