Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!-Chapter 401 A Great Ship
"Gray Allen, current Leader of the Allens: The Allen Clan has 3 Important Announcements to make. These three announcements will change the overall picture of the current situation in the World with respect to certain organizations. Lord Gray Allen, Leader of the Allens, is calling for all who are 'qualified' to gather in Allen City in 5 days.
In addition, the announcements our Lord has to give must be taken to every corner of the world." He announced in a booming voice that shocked everyone present.
Even the King was in shock. 'An invocation of all relevant entities?' he thought.
But the man wasn't finished; he looked at Matt and nodded to him. "Besides, Lord Gray Allen requested that you return to Allen City. It's not an order, so you can still refuse, but apparently, it was for something important." Culminated the man and closed the parchment.
Although Matt was surprised, he didn't react too much other than to see that the others present were shocked by this. Still, he didn't care about the motives.
"I'll go back to Clan Allen then; I didn't have much to do anyway," Matt replied.
When the man received that answer, his countenance glowed with joy, and he nodded to him.
Then he looked at Dawid and the rest and nodded to them. "Mr. Dawid, Lord Gray seemed to be thinking a lot about this. Apparently, the announcements he is about to make are more important than you might think, for he sent a message to the populace. Would you like to hear it?" He asked.
That question made Dawid stare at him. 'If he ask me this question like that, it is because this announcement has something to do with me or the Kingdom...' Although he tried to think of something quickly, his thoughts ended up deep in his mind.
"Please." He replied, and the man then spoke.
"He said: For the citizen waiting for a response from the leadership regarding recent statements made by some high-level people, Clan Allen will deliver them to you in less than one week, along with two more important announcements." This he said, immediately brought Sophia Murphy's statements to mind for Dawid, Ericson, and Reagan Cooper.
'It's a very important announcement, really.' They thought.
When the one who had been sent by the Allens finished saying this, he nodded to Matt. "Young sir, please," he said and then started to lead him out of there.
Dawid and the others gave him a quick goodbye, and before long, Matthew and Isla were directed to a medium-sized car, similar to cars over 200 years old in the earth's past.
They then left the castle and headed towards the Flying Boat Harbor.
From a distance, they could already see several nearby ships. Some were leaving, and their sizes varied.
'Will this be my first time riding on one of these?' Matt thought and looked from a distance.
It wasn't crowded at this hour, but there were a lot of boats.
The size differed. There were some big ones and some small ones.
But from a distance, Matt could see one boat that stood out from the rest. It was extremely large and looked like a huge protective shell in motion.
It was gigantic and black and white. Many people were surrounding the entrance to the ship, curious to know who was coming there. This was because not only was it gigantic, but it also had the peculiar and world-famous Allen's logo.
That representative red and white 'A' was the slogan describing some of the Allens' possessions, like this giant battleship.
Matt frowned when he noticed this and looked at the man driving, wanting to know where he was headed.
From his gaze and some occasional sideways glances, Matt could accurately predict the location, and it was just that huge ship.
'They sent that big thing out here, just for that?' thought Matt, in shock.
The man sitting to the side smiled when he saw him doubtfully. "There are two reasons why the Lord decided to send that ship here. Normally, I wouldn't have the joy of getting on there and leading the crew, but this time, I was handed the responsibility of sending this message to King Dawid and his kin and also the mission of searching for you, Young Lord.
That is why I was given the joy of driving this battleship." He replied.
'It seems my status rose at the sight of Gray. I wonder what Alice told him about me.' Matt thought.
As he was thinking, they arrived in front of the huge boat. Many people were in the vicinity, but when they saw the same car arrive that had left hours ago from here, they stepped aside to see who it was.
When Matt, Isla, and the man got out, many people felt frustrated because they didn't recognize any of the faces. Some could remember the man because he was the only one who had gotten off this huge ship hours ago, but the rest were unfamiliar.
Or so they thought, until suddenly, a person in the immediate vicinity jumped into view and commented, "Isn't that Matthew Dietrich!?" The first cry of shock triggered dozens of similar cries.
"That's right, it's Matthew Dietrich!"
"I heard that he has strong connections with the Allens, so it's because of him that this is here!"
"Hey, but this is one of the most important ships, isn't it? Isn't Matthew Dietrich only supposed to be a subordinate of Miss Alice, the weakest among the Heirs? How could they come here just to look for him?" Although some were surprised, questions of doubt began to hover.
"Are you stupid? Only a fool would believe that Matthew Dietrich is a mere subordinate of the Allens. There are things they don't tell us. According to my sources, Matthew Dietrich could be as strong as Headmaster Noah of the Second Academy. He is a true Outstanding Young Man. Surely, he's another Allen genius."
"True, the Allens tend to create monsters all the time, and this time, they only have one. Maybe this is the second of our era."
A lot of people talked without knowing, though. Occasionally, listening to them was kind of interesting, or so Matt thought.
'It's not interesting at all this time, though. People believe what they want to believe and cling to what they believe as if it's their last hope for life. There's nothing to be done,' Matt thought, and amidst murmurs, shouts, and people who seemed to want to see him, he climbed, along with Isla, onto the huge ship.
After climbing the stairs, he found himself in a fairly large space where he could walk around, look at the scenery, or go to other compartments of the ship. But in front of him was the entrance to the main part of the ship.
The ship was as large as a cruise ship. With a sleek design and a plethora of compartments, the ship had everything.
From playgrounds and swimming pools to training sites and other important things, the Allens' was a large battleship that was also a symbol of war. But in this case, this symbol of war represented the toughness and persistence of the Allens.
The Allens were characterized by two things: First, their brutal combat power. They tend to use the Vampire Mark the best and might be the most compatible with it, boasting a combat power superior to the rest. Second, they also boast persistence and toughness.
This persistence, gallantry, and toughness are personified in this ship. It is a war battleship resistant to almost anything, so all its mechanisms are incredible defense. Although it does not have much attack, its role is not to attack but to defend.
Despite that, it maintained an undisputed elegance in every detail.
Matt didn't see much of the surroundings as he was quickly ushered into the main operating room. About 15 minutes later, the ship began to take off.
It was then that Matt was handed a device with a map of the entire ship.
"Young Lord, make yourself comfortable or feel free to look around. It won't be long before we're back, but I'll come and let you know when we arrive." He spoke.
Matt nodded, and after talking a few more things over, he left with Isla. She was a little nervous and didn't separate from Matt, always keeping one of her hands holding the corner of Matt's clothes.
Though she watched everything with interest and some excitement.
"Where do you want to go?" Matt asked, snapping her out of her thoughts.
She frowned and looked at Matt. "Aren't you surprised by this weird turn of events? We weren't planning to travel on a ship, but suddenly we're traveling on such a big one... And it's the Allens'." She said, revealing her unease.
Matt shrugged after smiling. "I'm actually surprised. I wonder how they could possibly have made a ship as big and heavy as this one and be able to fly at such a great speed," Matt said.
Isla looked at him and sighed. "I think you're very carefree these days, Matt." She said, smiling softly.
Matt then hugged her and kissed her on the lips. "Isn't that nice, or don't you like it?" he asked. Isla found herself at a loss for words but smiled.
"How could I not like it? You're still you; now you're even more attractive." She replied something that made her feel embarrassed, so she moved closer to Matt and kissed him to hide it, in a really tender gesture in Matt's eyes.
After a moment like that, they both decided to go out and see the scenery.
