Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 84: The Forbidden Library
'It doesn't have a name.' Matt thought, so he opened the book without hope of finding anything interesting.
Still, his eyes widened slightly at what he found.
History of the Three Most Important Cities of the World.
City of the Clans - Central City of the World - Divine City.
That was what it said in the introduction. It didn't have an author or anything like that, but the fact that it was about those three cities and mentioned them as the most important cities in the World was something worthy of Matt's attention.
Although he was upset that he couldn't finish reading the other book correctly, in this one, he found something interesting to read about the history of this place; maybe he could find something of value, so he started reading.
The book begins by narrating the similarity between one city and the other. The Divine City was narrated as enigmatic and long-lived and was also known as the city of the Gods of the Past.
According to the book, the current Divine City is a city created by the subordinates of Clan Dietrich in memory of the Clan or perhaps by the Clan's command.
The names or surnames of the subordinates were not mentioned, but it is mentioned that it is the best place to live in the World. However, it is also a Desolate City that floats somewhere in the sky and only shows itself occasionally.
The city's infrastructure was created by the Dietrich Clan but was finished by the subordinate Clans. It is an exciting, enigmatic, and mysterious infrastructure and architecture.
What made those who have been able to visit it, have wanted to create similar cities and that is where the Central City of the World and the City of the Clans were born.
But there is something else that makes them similar.
The Forbidden Library.
The Divine City has a place with that name where there is a large amount of information about the World. No one has managed to enter there, although they always try.
In that place, there are great secrets of the World of the past, as well as of the immortals and other powerful beings. That is why it is so famous, and everyone wants to enter, although no one has ever managed to do so.
In the City of Clans and the Central City of the World, there are also some Forbidden Libraries. Although they do not hide the great secrets of the world of the past and the age of immortals like the one in the Divine City, they still hide an immense number of secrets of this world and its powers.
The information they hold is still precious and vital, so the greatest powers of this World protect those forbidden libraries.
Much of the information that is there, originally was in the world's most important libraries, scattered so that no one could find it. But, according to this strange little book, that information had been stolen from those places to be put inside the Forbidden Libraries.
The book didn't say much more, except that at the end, it left a few words written in gold ink, 'Whatever information you're looking for, in those places you'll find it.'
Matt was surprised after reading this and frowned, 'Forbidden Libraries? They really look creepy but interesting at the same time...' He thought and, in the end, smiled, thinking about a few things.
Still, just at those moments, the book he had just read started to dissolve, which got his attention.
Matt was stunned, watching this book dissolve until there was nothing left, and for a moment, he thought he had been dreaming.
'What the h-? It's gone!?' He thought in shock and looked from side to side, but there was nothing.
That surprised him, but still, he smiled a little.
'Wow, I didn't expect to find such an interesting article like that. I think they call it a One-Use Book, right?' He thought, smiling, and got up to continue looking for a book to read.
Still, he soon looked at the old book he still held in his hand.
'That's right, both books were together and looked stuck together...' He thought and ran his hand over the cover of the book.
Exactly on the section where the black ink was covering the title.
His finger swiped, but for a moment, it felt like a slight pull.
'It's a slight glue. It's not really ink...' Matt thought with surprise.
Then he remembered that the other book had disappeared.
That made him think of a possibility.
'There is a connection... The Dietrich Era book had several pages torn out, and then this book was left here... Could it be someone who knows about who tore it or was the one who tore it? For what purpose did he leave the book here with that information?' Matt thought and looked thoughtful for a few minutes.
He couldn't help but think that the connection between these two books was great. It was as if it was telling him that the last part of the book, which was ripped out, was in those libraries.
'...It's like he's trying to lure someone there.' Matt thought.
Still, he shook his head soon after.
'Let's not think things through here. I'll waste my precious time in this place.' He thought and kept looking for an interesting book to read.
He found another book that caught his attention in this same place and very hidden again.
The Greatness of the Dietrich was the title.
It is a story, and the book seems to have been written about 4 million years ago.
The book was not very large and was written poorly; it appeared to be a story no one knew. It was written as a poem, or at least it seemed to be, and also in ancient language.
-Dietrich, a name that causes fear to whoever hears it, that causes fear and awe by its name. That Saint Clan so acclaimed and mighty that once existed, today I raise my song for you.
Fear and jealousy caused your end, an end not due, bringing misfortune to the World.
You were once the pillar of the World and will remain so for eternity. The only pillar capable of holding up the heavens of the vampiric race.
Priceless existences, with unique and perfect characteristics, those capable of facing the gods and giving them an end. That Sun God exterminated with a finger, and that Human God destroyed with a palm, only they could do it.
That's why Dietrich's foundation cannot...-
Matt felt his head hurt as he read and took a deep breath for a moment.
'Shit, the day I find the bastard who tore the pages out of these books, I'm going to beat him to a pulp, that idiot. Who would think of cutting a story at its best part?' He thought angrily.
