Chapter 619: Dietrich members?
Matthew gathered numerous people from the Allen Clan, Independent Clans, and close allies; everyone with Dietrich blood in their veins was summoned here to fulfill what he had promised before, finally.
Since there wasn’t much time, he had to do most things in a hurry, but on this occasion, he had to take his time and do things calmly because although he had used the ability he would use today before, he hadn’t done it the way he would do it today, so it would be his first time.
Everyone was staring at him intently, as most had no idea what it meant that Matthew could make them belong to the greatest clan in the history of the vampire race.
Most of them were unaware of this concept, even though, in reality, there were already numerous new members of the Dietrich Clan. Due to their weak bloodline, they could only aspire to be Third-Class Members.
But today, he would create Second-Class Dietrichs with the ability to have First-Class children. In fact, if he were lucky, a select few would belong to the First Class from today on.
"First, let me introduce you to the members of this generation of my Dietrich Clan."
"First and foremost, the only Pureblood woman still bearing the Dietrich name: Isla Moore, or Isabella Dietrich. In the old days, she was my first wife." At his words, he drew Isla into his arms and finally introduced her as a true Dietrich.
Although everyone suspected certain things about her, they were shocked to learn that she was a member of the Dietrich Clan and a pureblood. How had she managed to hide so well among them all? Matthew wouldn’t say; he didn’t have much time to explain stories today.
After introducing her, there wasn’t much else to say. Charlotte wasn’t around, and she didn’t really belong to the Dietrich Clan, so he pointed out numerous girls who were now part of his army of girls.
"All of them are Third-Class Members within my Clan. They have a Dietrich bloodline that I have bestowed upon them, but unfortunately, it has not been very powerful. Despite this, their growth is astonishing enough to shame anyone from this era, so do not underestimate them. All of them have been bathed in my Dietrich Blood and are part of the Clan."
"Eh?"
"Really?"
"Us too?"
Numerous astonished voices and murmurs began to echo among the girls who were there. None of them had any idea that they actually belonged to that legendary Clan, although they did know about Matthew’s identity, as it was no longer a secret and he didn’t care whether they knew or not.
But one thing is to be a subordinate of a Dietrich, and quite another is to be part of the Dietrich Family.
He’s telling them that they have the bloodline of that legendary Clan running through their veins? God...
Most of them were human before, and many even accepted the proposal when they were told they could be transformed into vampires. But they never expected that, in doing so, they would become part of the most powerful clan in the world.
But Matthew, once again, had no time to explain nonsense. He had work to do, so he immediately said something else.
"In total, counting some girls who stayed in the Dark Kingdom, we have a total of 850 Clan members. Each and every one of them is growing stronger, so the transformation I will give you today should make you less dependent on my abilities, as you will be able to grow stronger more quickly. Remember, for those of you with abilities, at some point, I will have to take them away to complete my body. Therefore, the less you depend on them to become stronger, the better." He declared and glanced at everyone present.
After seeing that everyone was attentive and waiting for the moment, he decided to begin.
"Right now, I’m not very skilled in this tactic, so I’ll use it with only a few people to not overload my mind with information. Looking at your bloodlines, I’ll start with the most powerful among you or those with the best bloodlines. I’ll choose them myself from among those who are here. Those who are not here will be transformed later."
Matthew walked in front of them. His eyes glowed softly as he began to look at their bloodlines.
Here, the bloodline of their respective Clans didn’t matter; what mattered was the strength of their Dietrich bloodline. It could be the case that a person was very powerful and important within one of these Clans, but had a rather weak Dietrich bloodline. That person would be difficult to "transform" in this moment.
Such people were more common in the Independent Clans, but the leaders of these Clans had quite impressive bloodlines. One of them was almost on par with Gray, solely in terms of bloodline.
"You’re Haton Scháfer, correct?" Matthew asked. This man had recently fought alongside him, but since they had come as arrangements from the Allen Clan and only his power was considered in Matthew’s mind, he didn’t have many memories of him, except for the time he supported him in receiving the title of Lord of the Kingdom.
Haton nodded. 2That’s right, Young Master."
"Your bloodline is almost as good as Gray’s, not bad. You will be part of the chosen ones, and so will you." Matthew pointed to another member of the Scháfer Clan, the same one who had opposed him earlier when they were about to begin the mission.
He was a little embarrassed, but Matthew was only looking at his great bloodline; the rest didn’t matter.
Then he looked at the other Independent Clan.
"Two clans out of three. Your surname is Schwarz. Is the other one still neutral, or did it betray us?"
"They don’t want to get involved, but it’s possible that they belong to the traitors. I saw some suspicious people enter their mansion before we came," replied the leader of the Schwarz Clan.
Matthew nodded. "Well, sooner or later, we’ll find out. Is she your daughter?" He pointed to a very attractive woman with a lot of power, but with one deficiency: she couldn’t speak.
Lord Schwarz nodded. "My name is Klein Schwarz, and she is Karla Schwarz, Young Master. As you can see, she cannot speak, so..."
"It’s okay, don’t worry. She has good bloodlines, even better than yours. Besides, she’ll be able to speak again at the end of this. Since a strange power simply burned her vocal cords, but they’ll recover when her bloodline becomes more powerful."
Klein Schwarz looked at him in shock. "Really?!"
"Of course. But why did she lose her ability to speak? When did it happen? I feel like a curse did it."
