Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 193: They are being searched
A large nuber of people entered a huge church built in the center of the city.
Some holy knights stood guard outside while a burly man entered beside the Bishop.
"Bishop, the Empire has just confirmed that some vampires are within the vicinity of the Empire. There are two of them, very powerful, and they are too important to the empire. So, we are scouring every city to increase security and try to find them; how is the situation here?"
The Bishop nodded, pouring him some drinks.
"Sir Divine Knight, this is one of the quietest cities in the empire, as you may know. The residents don't tend to get into trouble, and very few adventurers come here, so defenses are always low in this place; I can't give you an accurate answer right now. I'll mobilize my people to investigate."
"Still, I'm surprised the Empire is so determined to find these vampires. This is the first time they've sent a divine knight to this city."
Since the Bishop arrived in this city, his days have been quiet and peaceful. He has only the local Church to run in one of the most pacifist and peaceful cities in the empire—even more so, a city at the other end of the vampire territories.
They have almost no problems and very few deaths in the city, so it is expected that he was surprised.
The Divine Knight in front of him nodded; naturally, he understood.
He looked to the right and the left. He noticed that no one else was there besides the two of them and approached him.
"They belong to a Vampiric Clan. The Grand Sorcerers are requesting that we catch them by all means; there are even several Grand Sorcerers who have mobilized this time." His voice was soft, but the Bishop could hear him clearly.
His words surprised him, but the Bishop showed no reaction on his face.
'Members of a Vampiric Clan... I see; maybe it's because of what I had heard before.' He thought and nodded to the Knight.
'Sir Knight, don't worry. If they are in the city, we will find them at all costs." He replied.
The Knight nodded.
'Though well, it is highly unlikely that they are here. This place is so far from where they were last seen that crossing it would have taken numerous weeks. The higher-ups are really making a fuss this time.' Thought the Divine Knight.
What he didn't know was that two Vampires had been staring at him for a while now.
Matt nodded to Alice as they looked out a small window. Both disappeared, returning to a hotel room they had rented shortly after.
"What do we do?" Alice asked.
Matt considered a few things first before answering. "We need some information. Apparently this city isn't that big, so it will be simple to get information. All the information we can get on that Church and the knights." He replied.
Alice nodded slightly and pulled out a book from her storage ring. "I didn't think it would be of any use someday, but I think we can find some information on that church in here." She said and handed it to Matt.
"This book was given to me by my father over five years ago, and it has detailed information on the forces of the world. Humans, Devourers, and other races are detailed in there; I think it will at least help us know what to do."
Matt was surprised she had something so convenient and took it.
'As an Heiress with Destiny, what is expected of her is that she can stand up to these races. I guess that's why they are bestowed upon them.' He thought and looked at the book.
He didn't have time to skim through the whole book, so he focused on researching the Divine Knights.
Divine Knights are divided into several categories, each separated by strength. The first category is Sacred Knights; they are not a problem for both of them right now.
Then come Low-Level Divine Knights, Mid Level Divine Knights, and High-Level Divine Knights.
The Divine Knight they faced at the border was a Low-Level Divine Knight, so a High-Level Divine Knight is a rather terrifying existence.
Although they are not the most powerful, others are still above them within the same group. They receive other titles. But they are not of much importance right now, as those are the leaders of the Empire. But the senior leader, who is also the Emperor, is the only God Knight at present.
No one knows how powerful he is.
From all the information in this book, Matt confirmed that these Divine Knights use Divine Magic, which comes from the belief in some God, which they call Sacred God in this book.
'Divine Magic comes from faith, but this faith is based on facts. It strengthens the one who trains his body but not his faith. Hmm, sounds like the Divine Magic of the Hunters.' Matt thought.
Churches were basically places to recruit disciples who wanted to become Divine Knights. A Bishop leads the weakest Church, so this Church should be one of the weakest since it had a Bishop leading it.
'Being such a passive city, I suppose it's normal.'
After reading much of the information there, he nodded to Alice with an idea in his head.
"Let's go search the city for information. I have an idea of what we can do to get information and get out of here quickly."
Soon after, both went out into the city. Since it was still dark, they could move while everyone was asleep.
Both were investigating different places in the city; Matt chose to investigate the area around the Church.
Since he didn't know the city, he couldn't tell where the information vendors were, so he had to look for it himself.
'I have to find a way to infiltrate towards the main halls. I guess there must be somewhere with documents there, but that will be tricky...' He thought, walking near the Church, thinking what to do.
After walking for several minutes, some Holy Knights came out of the Church. Join us at mp _yr now.
'Oh?'
Three of them walked down the street outside the Church and disappeared behind a dark street in a moment.
Matt thought of something and smiled, immediately following them. He summoned his weapon, and in a few moves, he plunged the sword into the necks of the three, rendering them lifeless.
