Master Of None

Chapter 2423: 2423. Vampire Ruin Project

The representative from the vampires was an older man, however, it appeared youth had somewhat returned to him since they had better living conditions. While Vampires could live for thousands of years in theory, their conditions seemed to alter that a lot. Unlike many myths, the vampire race was not a true undead race that could live forever.

That was the same for any undead, it would not last forever without the proper upkeep, hence why the immortal king and the immortal chasing race had always been looking for immortality, and also why they might have been at war with the vampire race at times in the ancient past.

All that aside, The man who was speaking was someone that Walker had seen before. A vampire that had known some of the history of the vampires and recalled it since he had been sent to stand within what had once been a library. According to what Walker had learned the man had once been cleaning and tending to books there until the books were burned in front of him for the amusement of their cruel lord.

As this was the case, Walker had not even flinched when he approved this vampire to learn and protect any library within Genesis. To care for the knowledge stored within the archives and the books being written within the city was a large uptaking.

Just making sure all of them were in good enough condition for the people coming there to study was a major endeavor, but bringing the life back to eyes that had seemed dead by allowing that almost shattered connection to knowledge within books to be reborn? That was worth so much more.

”The ruins are a small city we used to know as the city of fields. This was because they did not make their homes in forests or in mountains. They had chosen to break the traditions and make a city in the middle of the open plains. This made them face some of the flying monsters of ancient times and other disasters I am sure. We do not know everything any longer though.” the man frowned, knowing that he did not have better information for all of them when it came to the city.

”You know the location though?” The old vampire nodded knowing that he didnʼt need to explain all the details right away. ”Then there is no issue. As long as it will not disturb a demi-human town or farms, we can go there and excavate your underground ruins.” Scylla liked that they had another way to go and explore right now. The stress of what had happened in the city had to be washed away.

This is also within eh demi-human territories so she would have the chance to make her way back there for a short while. Visit the coliseums and challenge the other generals to a small sparring match. Not that anyone couldnʼt guess her thoughts looking at her slight vicious grin. They all knew she would challenge anyone to a battle of any kind, that was just her nature and many of the demi-humanʼs natures.

”I want to know what else you know of these ruins?” The standing in representative for the merfolks found that this would be another above land mission that they could not help with. But that kept them clear to focus on the waterways and maintaining the other water based areas within Genesis. Something that he did not mind communicating to his lord.

”They were primarily the ruins known for battling flying monsters. They would raise the shadow wind wolves as bonded monsters at birth. A vampire and alpha shadow wind wolf would be raised together to ensure that the entire pack saw them as family. This was beyond just blood and servitude, it was an important aspect of our culture.”

”When the city was thought to have been destroyed, it was found that one of the greatest vampire shadow wind wolf breeders had single handedly destroyed a walking tornado by themselves. A feat recognized by every single vampire city at the time. Otherwise, we have no written records other than that story.”

This was not very much to go on, but it was enough. The vampires could find the information about the city and about the legend of their species who had lived there. Therefore, they wanted to uncover the ruins of what the city had been so that they could learn from it.

Right now, Walker could tell that shadow wind wolves might not necessarily exist, but if they had the strength to fight ancient monsters that primarily attack from the sky…. Well, that would be a great way to strengthen Genesis while also recovering the history lost by the vampires in their time captive by a cruel lord.

”I think we should uncover it. We are doing the same for the angels with some of their fallen floating cities, we have found ancient human ruins, immortal chasing races ruins, and even some hints of other racesʼ ruins. So, why would we stop at vampires?” Walkerʼs point made the room hum with agreements and nods.

They also saw this as a chance to branch out even more and learn something. There were also small places of wilderness nearby that could be mapped out which would help that project as well. Beyond this, the demi-human kingdom could send more forces which would allow them more time to learn from Genesis forces they had been separated from for this period of time.

All good things that would increase the growth of everyone. ”Then I will begin preparing a few of the vampire representatives we will send. We have recently managed to heal and awaken a few others. Those who had been too injured or were trapped in slumber have begun to explore with a little more vigor.” The good news just added a bright smile to most of the representativesʼ faces.

The races like the vampires who had been harmed were a worry for many of them. The same was true for the demons before they were helped. But the vampires had many who could not even awaken yet and hearing that they had begun to awaken and be healed properly was a major step for the vampires. Especially since that also meant that they would have classes and be showing off more of the unique aspects of a vampire society and race.

All of this was adding up to something interesting that Walker felt was well worth the trip. It also managed to bring the entire meeting to a close on a good note. ”I am going to look in to some of the vampires. I know itʼs about time for the sun to be setting so the night life of Genesis will be starting anyways.” Walker could say he was tired, but he was not.

Mentally, he could say that he was tired since they had been speaking for hours. But after training his mind and body, this was still nothing for him. He even had the help of other mages before when using his skills so he had not abused his strength too much leaving him in desperate need of rest. Plus, he had been able to handle the natural born undead shifting slime himself if he had needed to. He focused mainly on allowing the two shifters since he wanted to gauge their trust.

Leaving him much more energetic and curious about these vampires.

While the main representative was busy, she would be moving around to help within the territory of the vampires. This meant he did not worry about finding her and trusted that she would keep doing her best while the other vampires handled matters outside of their main home. A good way to organize given their circumstances.

He also knew that the vampire district was more active at night. The demon race had helped them a lot and they had built things up very well. The vampires and demons were extremely close now because of this. They bonded over their past suffering and had begun to flourish because of this.

Rumors of a few vampires finding their perfect partner in the demons also spread but that was personal so Walker didnʼt go digging. Not that he wouldnʼt find that to be a good thing.

He was impressed by the theme he saw though. The buildings were made similarly to the ones found in the ruined Valorie city the vampires had been trapped in. Very innately carved stone with gargoyles, bats, wolves, and even insignias of living vampire families represented.

It felt that Walker had ventured on to a much more ancient place than something built recently in the history of Genesis which wasnʼt even that old to begin with. The dim magic lanterns were just enough to enhance the ambiance while not harming anyoneʼs night vision.

A warm place in the middle of the night.
