Chapter 939 - Answer them (1/2)

Looking at the message that had appeared in front of him, Quinn was trying to figure out what the quest exactly was. The requirements for completing the quest weren't clear and had been blanked out with question marks. Meaning Quinn didn't really know how to complete it, but by the wording of the quest given, it was clearly alluding to something.

'Is it saying there is another evolution?' Quinn wondered. 'Is there an evolution past that of a vampire lord?'

This was the only thing he could think of as to what the system was getting at, but if there was another evolution then when would it be unlocked? He had already reached level fifty and he wasn't even sure if there was a level cap like there would be in games. 60, 80 maybe not until he reached level a hundred he would complete the quest.

'To my knowledge no. All the leaders, or at least all the current leaders during my time and yours are at the lord level. Although the Original vampires might be a bit different, they were born the way they were and don't go through an evolution like yourself and the others.' Vincent answered.

With no clue what the requirements were though, Quinn would have to put it in the back of his head for now.

'I wish the system could just stop playing games with me and be a little more upfront with me sometimes.' Quinn sighed.

'Well, that would defeat the mystery of the game after all. Remember the whole system was based on a game in the first place.' Vincent answered.

Just seconds after, the door swung open and a group of people were excitedly rushing through the door to see him. It looked like when they saw the change in the castle and walls, they all knew there was only one person possible for such a thing.

”Quinn!” Some of them shouted, rushing over giving him hugs, cheers and slaps on the back.

”It's good to see you all again as well.” Quinn said.

”Well what a surprise.” Sam said. ”It looks like the one that clocked onto everything from the beginning was Peter.”

Everyone turned to Peter who was in the room. He was leaning up against the wall at the very back with his arms crossed.

”I told you I had a bad feeling about her, maybe you guys should trust me a bit more.” Peter said.

”Didn't he think Xander was a bad person when he first met him as well?” Timmy whispered over to Amy.

”Well, maybe he's not wrong.” She teased, and the others who had overheard all started to laugh.

”I'm sorry to ruin this happy moment.” Paul said breaking through and walking over to where Quinn was. ”But there are some important matters we need to deal with. I've sent a report to the King that you are now awake as he requested, but before that, I really think we should deal with the matters outside.”

”Outside?” Quinn said, confused at what Paul was going on about.

After some explaining, Paul told Quinn about those that now wished to join the tenth families and how many wanted to see who had saved the vampires.

”I didn't know what you wanted to do, but there is one thing for sure, we are certainly lacking people. Therefore while you were asleep, I started to organise them into certain groups. I had people test them on a number of things and categorised them, based on their skills.'' Paul started to explain.

”Wait, categorised based on their skills, do you mean like strength and fighting ability?” Quinn asked, and Paul didn't say a word after. ”Don't Paul, don't do it. You're acting like you're in the military again. I have to admit your way has had its uses and I have come to understand why the military did the things the way they did, but I do not want to do what they did.

”I want you to make a new list. Take a look at those that have been in the tenth family pooling area the longest. Bring them in first, then I want you to make a list of skills they are capable of or best at. I want you to find out what they are talented at and then find a use for their talent. Those that aren't good at fighting won't just be chucked aside.

”I want you to work closely with Timmy, he came up with a good reward system before, but I want these people to be rewarded for helping, and their loyalty to the tenth family. Is that okay?”

Paul paused for a second, and looked at the table of information in his hand. He then swiped the information off the screen and started a whole new one.

”You're the leader Quinn, not me. I will do as you say, but I will make a suggestion. The momentum is in your favour now. You should go and answer those wishes, and let the people see who saved them. You deserve that much.” Paul said.

The reason why Quinn wasn't so quick to take up this idea was because Quinn had decided already that he wanted to leave this place. He felt a little strange helping them and doing all these duties when he wasn't going to be here much longer.

'Do I take them back to the Cursed ship with me?' Quinn wondered.
