Alice didn't mind telling him about her ability, so she told him.
Since she received it, she has been excited about it. It is an amazing ability. Plus, the extra 10% it grants her for assassinating people with over 10,000 power is amazing.
If she thought that was 10% more permanent power she would get from assassinating soone so powerful, wouldn't she beco imnsely powerful on a battlefield? Just imagining being in front of a large army, murdering people left and right as her power slowly increased, made her feel bloodthirsty, a feeling she couldn't control.
As she recounted all this, Matt noticed that her personality was changing in so way or another.
Her bloodlust was now so evident that it made her eyes sparkle, although she herself hadn't noticed it.
"If that is the case, then I think what we were planning is even better. I will tell you that I now have a way to do that thing I told you in a better way, and if we take advantage of your ability as well, I think we can get stronger at great speed as we complete our goals." Matt replied, getting Alice's attention.
"What do you an?" she asked doubtfully, and Matt smiled.
"I have a way to turn those people into vampires without killing them. We just need to go to a place with a large number of people living, so it won't be too noticeable."
"Does it have anything to do with your other ability?"
Matt nodded toward that question but didn't answer. That made Alice stop asking and nod to him.
"Well, if that's the case, then let's do that. As long as we can get stronger, it will be enough; shall we just leave at once?" Alice asked, and Matt nodded.
Shortly after, both stepped carefully out of the cave in case anyone was nearby, but no one was there.
It was night at this ti, so the moonlight greeted them, illuminating their faces. Nearby, they could hear so wild animals and the typical night sounds but nothing else.
Still, when Matt looked up at the sky, he frowned.
The three moons in the sky illuminated his face steadily, and their brightness made the world more visible today, showing the moons' state.
All three were in the full moon phase, which doesn't happen often in this world.
Matt frowned as he saw this, and so mories of the past ca to him.
'That's right, today is the day I'll be able to read that book that old man gave .' Matt thought quickly and took out the book that the old man in the library had bestowed upon him.
It had so strange chanisms, and when he received it, it showed no reaction whatsoever. If this book were tried to be opened by force, these chanisms would be activated, and the person would receive a heavy blow and even run the risk of destroying the book.
But today, these chanisms had been removed, and he did not know how long they had been removed. Still, the fact that they had been removed allowed him to open the book like any other.
Seeing this, Matt pulled Alice into the cave and closed it again with the stone, surprising her.
"What's the matter, Matt? Was soone coming?"
"No, that's not it. This book I can only read when the three moons are at their full moon, so I have to start reading it as soon as possible. It was given to by an old man at the Academy several months ago."
Although Alice was surprised, she understood that Matt valued this book, so she sat beside him.
"What's it about? It doesn't have a na."
"The old man who gave it to said it was a book from the past and that it talks about the Dietrich Clan. Also, it seems to have teachings about the paths to follow to reach the greatest heights. Have you never read it? It seems to be a book known among the great powers."
Alice frowned as she heard, "Clan Dietrich information? Could this be the Dietrich Road Book? I heard that the First Phase of that Book was in the Academic Library." After saying this, Matt opened the book's first part, showing the first page.
-Dietrich Road I-
That was the na it said, so it confird the words of Alice, who plunged into deep thoughts.
"Who gave it to you?" she asked after thinking about a few things.
"An old man I t in the library. Ryan Adams called him a librarian; I guess that's his rank."
"Librarian? No, if I think about it right now, there's no way. The Academic Library shouldn't have any librarian. But I know who you an. There are three people who have been able to see the contents of this book in the world, out of 27 who have tried to see it.
One of them is a very powerful man from many years ago who locked himself in the library after wiping the floor with the directors of the Academy in a fair fight. I guess he was the one, the one who gave it to you."
Matt was very interested in what she had said. Twenty-seven people tried to read this book, but only three could.
There was no way it was because they couldn't open it because of the full moon thing; it had to be sothing else.
"Why couldn't they read it, and what do those who could read it have in common?" Matt asked.
"Among the three people who could read it, the first was that old man who was locked in the library. The second was my father, and the third was Cecily Edevane; I heard there is one more person, and rumors say it's Reagan Cooper, but I can't say for sure... If they had sothing in common...
Honestly, I don't know, but maybe it's because they understand the path of the vampire better than the rest, or maybe it's because the three or four have an intense love for Dietrich's story and want to find out, but I don't think the latter." She replied and looked at the book.
"Open it; I'd like to see if I can see it. My father only told a few things about it."
Matt nodded towards her. Although he was thoughtful about what she said, he had no ti to waste. He imdiately opened the book in his hands.
Once he turned the page where the book's title was, a large number of words were visible before his eyes, but he focused on the title section, which did not look like a title.
-Your love for Dietrich will pay off.
That shocked him; it was too peculiar a way to start a book.
Still, he was more interested to know if Alice could read it, so he averted his gaze to her.
She was just as stunned as Matt, staring at the letters there.
Sohow, those words written there echoed in her mind the mont when she had begun to feel an intense desire for Matthew Dietrich. And her heart raced.
It was strange for her to feel this, but the interest in reading this very strange book kept her from realizing too much.
