Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start-Chapter 904: The Dream Of Spreading Knowledge
-----
"They what?!"
"By the Holy Spirits! Blake, you're a monster!"
It was the morning of the next day when my parents gasped, almost choking on their morning coffee when we told them the news. Both Anna and Allan had reached Level 50, something that was probably an historical event. I did reach Level 50, but I am fairly sure it wasn't when I was six years of age. Probably around eight or nine.
"I'm sorry… Maybe I shouldn't have forced them to grow so strong so quickly." I apologized. "But am I really a monster?"
"I-I mean, I meant it in an exaggerated and good way, dear." My mother laughed with me. "You've done something incredible, and you two! You're now as strong as your dad, I think?"
"I don't know, we might have to spar some more then." My father smiled. "I want to see how strong they've grown."
"Well, Stats alone aren't everything." I answered. "Although we grow stronger as we level up, that doesn't mean we know how to properly use those stats or the skills. So although they might be able to reach Rank 3 by now, due to their lack of enough experience, knowledge, and more, they cannot draw their full potential."
"I see…" My mother nodded. "I-I guess it is not so bad then. I just hope they don't break my arm or something because they can't control their strength, these little goblins."
"Mom, we would never do that!" Anna pouted. "Big bro taught us how to control our Strength first before anything!"
"Y-Yeah… Don't be afraid of us… we grew stronger so mama can be safer." Allan said. He was truly a mama's boy.
"Aww, my little treasures. Is that so? You wanted to protect mama so much?" She giggled happily, as both of them climbed to her legs and sat with her.
"Yeah! I will protect mama, I'm a strong knight!" Anna nodded happily.
"M-Me too!" Allan agreed.
"Ohohoho, looks like you've raised some fine kids, Mary." Grandmother congratulated her daughter. "To think my grandsons all would be born so talented. I can die happy now, knowing my descendants will prosper for future generations. Especially my dear Blake, with those beautiful girls. Ahh… I wish I could live just a few more years to see my grand grandchildren!"
"E-Eh?!" Elizabeth almost choked on her coffee. "T-That's a bit… T-Too much, grandmother-in-law…"
"H-Hahahah… I-I had considered kids but that's for later." Erika giggled innocently.
"C-Can I even have children?" Eleanora wondered to herself. "Wait, the Holy Spirits did mention something about that… Ah, the Spirit of Love, right! He did say something like that, right Blake? You told me."
"A-Ah… Well, let's keep this to ourselves." I sighed. "Anyways, before any sparring sessions, it would be better to awaken you two to Rank 3. Do you think you can do it by yourselves? I'll oversee your process and see that nothing goes wrong."
"Okay!" Anna nodded. "Leave it to me, bro!"
"I am not so sure… But I'll do my best." Allan nodded.
"Good." I nodded back. "Now… Hm, Elizabeth. I have something to talk with you later. Can we meet in my room?"
"Eh? Alone?" She wondered.
"Yes, if possible." I noticed everyone's faces looking confused.
After breakfast, Elizabeth entered my room, where I was waiting, looking at the window with a relaxed expression. The cold wind was quite soothing, and the view of the grasslands, the farm, the spirit forest, and the nearby village combined together to create a beautiful scenery.
"Blake, I'm here…" She stepped in. "I-I wonder what you wanted to talk alone…" She sat down over the bed, blushing. "D-Do you want to cuddle and kiss by any chance? I didn't think you would be so eager… B-But if you want to, I don't mind doing some stuff couples do alone… I-If you really want to I can even… I am even willing to give you my first-"
"It's not that." I said. "I wanted to talk to you regarding the knowledge spread in the village and the church." As I glanced back at Elizabeth, she was completely red, like a tomato.
"E-Eh? Ah! Ahahah! T-That! Right, yeah!" She nodded, feeling very embarrassed. "I'm sorry for thinking you wanted other things…"
"Elizabeth I respect you a lot, and I would never just ask you to come to my room for such things out loud, in front of everyone." I facepalmed. "And regarding that, I am grateful, and I appreciate your feelings. I love you too. But this is not the time for that. I hope you can understand." I tried to be as gentle as possible.
A girl's feelings were a delicate thing, and I didn't want to break the heart of my Elizabeth.
"O-Of course…" She smiled a bit. "Hehe, I guess I got carried away. We are still too young and all. And yes! I've heard you and I was thinking about that myself. You mean the methods of Spiritual Energy Cultivation and such?
And also the knowledge of how to properly cultivate the Spirit Orb."
"Yes," I nodded. "So you knew."
"I did some research myself. Asked around as much as I could, and even had a scheduled a private meeting with the cardinal, who will be coming today from the capital." She said. "As the Saintess, I have a lot of authority despite my age."
"The cardinal… Is that a great figure in the church?" I wondered.
"He is very important. He handles almost all things." She said. "I asked around some people of authority before. They told me that such things were not taught because we lacked professors. Priests could teach some things, but we required people specialized for that. The church mostly invests on charity than teaching.
And knowledge is often reserved to people with money in schools or academies."
"That's a pity…" I sighed. "And we require professors, huh? How can we fix this…"
"Well, that's why the cardinal is coming!" She smiled. "We'll convince him together to invest into teaching commoners and even serf how to utilize their Spirit Orbs. Basic knowledge such as this, mathematics, language, and magic formulae should be widespread, it is a right for all people!"
"I agree with that statement. And if words alone won't work, I can always use the power of money." I smiled. "Reputation, and strength too, perhaps."
