Chapter 448: Chapter 448 Tell me why?
When asked about whether or not Quinn would be up for some training, Quinn didn't hesitate to say yes . The reason being he knew he needed to get stronger . Facing Edward opened up his eyes a little . There was more to getting stronger than just improving his stats . Even if he was faster, more powerful and had more stamina, these things couldn't replace skill .
On top of this, the higher his stats were currently getting, the less of an effect the increase was having when comparing them to the strongest of vampires . This was always going to be the case, but he didn't realise it would become apparent so soon .
For example, when Quinn first started, he had five strength, when he became a vampire his strength had increased to ten . His power had increased by double with only five points extra . However, if his strength was at fifty, and his points increased by five again, it didn't quite have the same effect . His strength would only marginally increase, and it didn't have the same effect .
All of the stronger vampires had high stats to begin with, so a few points of difference here and there didn't do much . It was all about skill and abilities . Edward managed to face both Quinn and Peter and even Vincent, the system, had said Edward was a strong and skilful vampire knight .
Of course, he wouldn't decline such an offer .
Before they would start their training, Edward decided that he would give them a tour around the castle . The reason he felt like doing this, was because he thought it was only right to show the future leader what his castle would look like .
While showing the two around the castle, Edward started to feel a little embarrassed . Most of the rooms, if not all of them, were covered in dust, and it looked like they had been emptied . It was as if not a single soul had ever even lived in the castle .
Apparently most of the castle was filled with just bedrooms . Edward explained that most of the families had a long history . So they had many family members that were closely related that would often live within the castle .
However, this wasn't the case for the tenth . So that's why most of the rooms remained empty even after he had left . Carrying on the toor, there seemed to be a research room and a library, amongst other things .
Looking at all the empty space and thinking about such a large castle being completely empty, Quinn felt like if he was to live here, it would have been an incredibly lonely place to be .
Eventually, while looking around, they came across a large door arching door that was just as big as the entrance . It was stationed near the main bedroom and had a strange symbol on the front of it . The symbol was in a circle looking shape that had several patterns running on the outside . Inspecting it closely, it looked as if it had been carved and the lines had a blue glow to them, similar to the crystals .
The door stood out compared to the rest of the places they had managed to see so far .
"What's behind there?" Quinn asked curiously, since Edward decided not to show them the inside of it for some reason and started to walk right past .
"That would be the previous lord's storage room . " Edward replied . "I didn't mean to offend you, it's just that I don't have access to what is in that room . Remember the weapons that you saw on display? How I said they were replicas . Well, the real ones are kept behind here . And the only person who can enter or has access to that room, was Vincent . "
Rather than a storage room . What Quinn was hearing in his mind was a room full of treasures .
"You already have access to the items in the storage room . " The system suddenly said . "Everything that is in here is accessible in the shop . When creating the system I wished for there to be limitations, you see . I didn't want whoever got their hands on the book to have access to everything at once . I wanted the user to grow and learn, so in return for collecting the ingredients, the item will be transported from here to the system . Defeating the beast required for the weapons would make them not get ahead of themselves . "
"The idea was that with the items that had been gathered, they could be used to create the weapons again, if need be in the future . However, I never expected you to reach this spot here right now . Unfortunately, there is no way for me to open the storage room door . If I could, there would be many items that we could use to help free Fex . "
Hearing this, Quinn was more interested in how the book had fallen into his hands than ever .
"So, how did my family even get the book, I remember you said that if I came to the castle, you would tell me everything? I think I deserve to know . " Quinn asked .
There was a moment of silence before the system eventually replied .
"I think it will only distract you from your current goal . Once everything is over and dealt with, then I will explain . Not just why your family has the book, but why I left the tenth castle and how it is all linked . "
It wasn't the answer he was looking for, but it was a better answer than he had expected and the system was right . Such an important matter could quite possibly distract him and now wasn't the time for that .
With the tour over, Edward was ready to start the training with the two of them . After that they would need to form a plan on how to save Fex .
They had returned back down to the first floor, the reception area . This was because it was the biggest area in the castle that was mostly empty, void of objects being hit or destroyed .
But before the training could begin, Quinn felt a burning sensation in his chest .
"Are you okay?" Edward asked, concerned something was happening .
But it wasn't a bad feeling, this was something Quinn had felt before . "They're here . " Quinn said .
Just then, a knock at the door was heard .
"Sir Edward, are you inside!" A young voice shouted . "We tried going to your house, but there was no one in . We were wondering what's going on… . Hello!"
"Is that Timmy?" Edward thought, recognising the voice . "Go ho . . "
Lifting his hand, Quinn gestured for Edward to stop as if he wanted to say something . "You can let him in . My friends are with them as well . "
As the door started to open wide, Timmy on the outside was getting excited . He had only seen the castle and had never even been this close . It was only due to the encouragement and being with the others that he felt like he could knock and touch the door, and now they were being let in .
Whatever was happening, he didn't want this dream to end . When the doors finally opened, he was greeted with the sight of not just Edward, but two unfamiliar faces that didn't look much older than himself either . One of them when looking at them had a smile on his face .
"You guys look good . " Quinn said . This whole time he had a fear that something might have happened to them . Although he knew Layla was okay . He wasn't sure about everyone else . So it was a relief to see that none of them were injured or hurt .
"Boy, do we have some things to tell you . " Vorden said, as he walked over and placed his arm around Quinn's head, bringing him in closer . "Hey is it just me, or did you get taller and more handsome? Am I right, Layla?"
Hearing this, Layla's face started to get hot, and she turned away, but couldn't help glancing and looking at Quinn's face . Once again, it had changed slightly, and he did look more mature and handsome than before .
"Peter, I'm sorry I couldn't help you in the dungeon . " Logan said . "I wanted to come and get you, but the probability was against us . I researched and researched… . "
"It's okay . I'm fine now, right?" Peter replied .
The atmosphere was upbeat as everyone was reunited, and Timmy was a bit confused at how these people came to know each other . Was this person a special person in the tenth family that he didn't know about?
However, there was one person who wasn't happy about the whole thing, and she was continually looking at Quinn .
She wanted to hold back until later; she wanted to ask when they had returned, but seeing him now, she couldn't hold herself back and she needed to ask there and then .
"Quinn!" Cia shouted so loud that it caused everyone to freeze in place . "I need to ask you… and please tell me the truth . I learnt earlier that vampires have the abilities to remove memories, not just any, but they can wipe out entire memories . Based on what Layla said to me before, I can only assume I knew all of you . So my question is, did you remove my memories, and if so, please tell me why . "
