House Witch

 Dracula's estate.

“Emmm, the interior is not as big as expected.”

Just after entering the door, Dorothy looked around at the scene inside the manor and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

From the outside, this manor looks like a completely illegal structure, very huge, but when you come in, you can see that it is a rare building in the witch world that has the same interior and exterior.

 “I thought this internal space would expand as big as a world?”

  The otaku witch was a little surprised by this.

Most of the witch's buildings have internal space expansion. Those houses look like small villas from the outside, but in fact they are unique and extravagant inside.

　　After all, who makes the house prices in Witch World so high?

Although it is not cheap to hire a decorator who is good at space magic to set up the space extension array, and the cost of maintaining the space extension array is not low, these costs pale in comparison to the housing price of the empty island.

 Therefore, you usually buy a small air island that is almost adequate, and then use a space extension array to expand the internal space during decoration. This is a cost-effective solution that most witches will choose.

However, this vampire manor is unexpectedly simple and quite consistent on the outside.

"Haha, Miss, the Space Extension Array is a last resort method used by poor people who cannot afford a big house. How can a high-ranking noble like the Thirteenth Blood Clan use it? People dislike the Space Extension Array and feel uncomfortable inside it. "

Besides, Lucifer explained sarcastically when she saw the confused look on her eldest daughter's face.

Hearing this, Dorothy suddenly understood.

Hmm, I understand, it’s similar to those luxury goods that seem like IQ taxes to ordinary people.

 As for nobility, what matters is that a person has nothing but his own character.

However, living in a space expanded by a space extension array is indeed not as comfortable as a normal space. It is just like blowing up a balloon. The bigger you blow, the thinner the skin becomes, and the space expanded to the limit will become quite unstable.

  If the space of the medium world is expanded to the limit, then the internal space will be reduced to the level of a small world.

Of course, as the highest level natural disaster world, the internal space of the Witch World is very stable. Generally, it has the same stability as the ordinary big world when it is expanded. In fact, the impact is not big. As long as you don’t have to expand to the limit and suddenly expand the "balloon" Just blow it to the maximum and let the space steadily drop to the level of a small world.

However, this so-called small impact only refers to ordinary witches. If they are strong, the impact is actually very large.

After all, if you are a big boss like Sage or Jianfeng, the space intensity lower than that of the big world may be disturbed by their daily activities, and the space may be unstable, just like an elephant walking on ice, so you have to be careful and leisurely.

In addition, Dorothy, who has a space-sensitive physique, sometimes feels a little awkward. However, given the price of the house, she feels that this awkwardness must be her own problem. Anyway, it is not to the point of making her want to vomit like the teleportation array. At best, it just feels like the doors and windows of your house are all made of paper, which makes you feel a little insecure, but completely bearable.

Besides, for a house like her, a small island is enough for her, and she doesn't need to pay attention to ostentation. Anyway, except for some special rooms, she has not expanded much in the Witch's House, so her life is quite comfortable. of.

 “What about my family? Are the Jormungandr family also so arrogant?”

The home witch suddenly remembered the home she had never returned to. Dragon Mother was now considered a great noble in the Kingdom of Dragon, so she must have similar treatment.

Although she is not willing to go home and inherit the family property, she has not cut off contact with the family. She will definitely go back and have a look in the future. She needs to know more now to avoid being embarrassed like Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden.

And she is a frank person, even if she sees other people doing this, she will be very upset, and she will despise it as an illegal construction method, and she will pay stupid people more money.

 But if her own family was so arrogant, she had to admit that it was even a little refreshing to think about it.

Well, she knew that this was a bit of a double standard, which was not good, but she really couldn't help it.

 How can people live in this world without double standards? The **** determines the head.

However.

Facing Dorothy’s expectant eyes, Miss Fallen Angel suddenly looked away in embarrassment.

"Ahem. Miss, you have to know that the fleet looks majestic, but it still needs to be maintained. Maintaining a battle group is very expensive, and after all, the Jörmungandr family has just been revived, so there is no need to spend money. It’s quite a lot, although I do have a little extra money now, but in order to further develop in the future, it’s not to the point where I can waste it at will.”

 Lucy Fair scratched her cheek, and then spoke to Dorothy carefully.

  Otaku Witch: “.”

Hmm, I understand. Sure enough, the wealthy vampires really deserve to die. They don’t remember the virtue of diligence and frugality like our dragon witches do.

After entering the door, the group of vampire guards also left. They had to continue patrolling, but because Alice, the local witch, was there, the three of them didn't have to worry about getting lost.

“Sister, you didn’t have to stand up for me just now.”

The little witch said this while lowering her head while leading the way.

　　Although she usually doesn't like to study very much and seems to have muscles in her brain, Alice is not really stupid. The little witch can see that her sisters were fighting for her just now.

“Okay, my sister just needs to be protected by her sister. This is my sister’s privilege and my sister’s obligation.”

Dorothy reached out and rubbed the head of this sister who was sometimes too sensible, and said matter-of-factly.

"But speaking of Anne, how is she doing now? Her temper is not the type to swallow her anger, right?"

The otaku witch thought of her stepmother, who had a bad temper, and became confused again.

Stepmother is also at the level of a real titled witch. She is not the kind of parallel imported account guarding the door, but a quasi-top boss who can wait in line for promotion like Mr. Spider or Aunt Zi.

It's just that she is busy showing off her affection to Adam every day and has retired from the battlefield. Naturally, she is too lazy to get tested for promotion. A woman in love only has eyes for her sweetheart and has no interest in career.

But where is the strength, and with her protective character, how could anyone in this vampire manor dare to bully the two of them.

Dorothy thought of what Mr. Hermes had said about the sacrificial ceremony before, and suddenly felt a little nervous. Could it be that this group of vampires had taken action in advance? Could it be that the stepmother and Adam had already been controlled?

 That’s not the case, after all, they had seen their stepmother and Adam shopping together lovingly before.

Hearing her sister ask this, Alice scratched her face in embarrassment. "Actually, my mother has always felt guilty towards the family. After all, she was the one who ran away from home."

The little witch led the way while telling Dorothy and Lucifer the past events.

Anne, whose real name is Lilith, is a vampire witch. She is also the third lady of the Dracula family, the head of the thirteen clans of the vampire family. She even almost became the matron of the Dracula family.

When she was young, Anne was once a shining star that the entire Thirteen Clan of the Vampire Clan was looking forward to. She was talented, gifted, and powerful, just like the Dragon Mother to the Jörmungandr clan, she was the hope to make the Vampire Clan great again.

It’s just that Anne was a bit rebellious when she was young. She first fell in love with Hattie Fenrir, the mortal enemy of the vampire clan and the werewolf and witch clan.

The two people, who were originally blood enemies, met and fell in love on the battlefield, and together they became known as the "Blood Moon Twins" and became famous for a while.

But this love affair was obviously not going to be blessed by the families on both sides, so a vampire and werewolf version of Romeo and Juliet ensued.

　　The relationship between the two did indeed fail in reality. In the end, both parties failed to withstand the pressure of their respective families and finally broke up.

It was this breakup that made Anne, who was originally very loyal to the family, a little shaken. Coupled with various subsequent coincidences, she seemed to have discovered some secrets, and finally broke away from the family completely in anger and ran away.

"Actually, my mother was also impulsive in anger at the time. After calming down over the years, she also thought about it. She was supposed to inherit my grandmother's position as the matriarch of the family, but in the end she abandoned her family responsibilities and ran away. She regrets this very much. I feel guilty, otherwise I wouldn’t come back to visit my relatives this time.”

 Alice sighed, and then said this.

 Dorothy: "."

Wow, listening to the past of her stepmother, the otaku witch was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that Anne would have such a dramatic past.

Moreover, little Alice didn't know what Anne discovered that made her break with the family, but the witch knew that the last time she heard Hermes mentioned it, it was because Anne discovered that she was actually resurrecting her ancestors. container thing.

It seems that the Thirteenth Clan of the Vampire Clan is a bit unjust. After all, judging from Alice's description, the Vampire Clan actually planned to train Anne with all their strength at the beginning, and did not really regard her as a sacrifice. Otherwise, Alice's grandmother wouldn't have come close to letting Anne succeed her.

But who would have thought that Annie, who carried the hope of the entire vampire race, would not focus on her career like her dragon mother, but would instead indulge in boring love.

And she had no choice but to talk to the vampire witch's mortal enemy, the werewolf witch.

Dorothy remembered the story she had heard in the legend about Jack the Phantom Thief.

The Phantom Thief Jack threw the stolen True Ancestor Blood Diamond to a dog-man witch among passers-by, and thus, the original werewolf witch was born.

Later on, it was this werewolf witch who finally united with other demon witches who were oppressed by the thirteen clans of the Vampire Clan to end the Vampire Clan's rule over Sin City.

 This is a real blood feud.

Anyway, vampires and werewolves have been fighting for tens of thousands of years, and there is still no possibility of relief. When a vampire witch and a werewolf witch meet, they will basically fight.

I don’t know how Anne and Miss Hattie fell in love at that time. Was it the classic script of falling in love and killing each other?

 Dorothy was actually quite curious about this and wanted to eat melon.

But she almost understood why her stepmother could tolerate her violent temper this time. She probably did it because of guilt.

  The house witch also thought of Mother Long.

She has not grown up in the Jormungandr family since she was a child, and has not enjoyed much of the family's training and benefits. That's why she told Dragon Mother that she didn't want to inherit the family.

But even so, she still felt guilty towards Long Ma. After all, her mother only gave birth to her because she wanted an heir. As a result, she abandoned her burden and ran away. She felt a little sorry for Long Ma's five years of pregnancy.

This is true for a wild witch like her who has not received much favor from her family, let alone a pure vampire like Anne who grew up in the Thirteenth Clan of the Vampire Clan.

Although Dorothy knew that this stepmother was actually the reincarnation of the true ancestor of the Vampire Clan, and that the entire Vampire Clan was actually her subordinates, Anne herself did not have the memory of who knows how many lives ago.

 She probably took it as her own duty to revive the family like Long Ma at the beginning and was very loyal to the family, but in the end she personally abandoned the family that she once regarded as everything. This is impossible not to feel guilty.

This would be fine if the Thirteenth Clan of the Blood Clan really treated her as a sacrifice and treated her harshly. In that case, she would have less burden on her heart when she defected. However, they really tried their best to cultivate her, and it was her fault that she failed to live up to.

And it’s no wonder that the thirteen clans of the Blood Clan are now so crazy that they want to defect and cause trouble. This once correct attempt has failed, and it can only be broken. As for the declining family fortune of the Blood Clan, they probably really don’t have the energy to do it. Try taking the high road again.

 But who can blame this?

 Between the individual and the family, Anne just chose the individual.

Dorothy also chose an individual, and she somewhat understood that mentality.

After all, people are not tools and should have the right to decide their own lives.

The otaku witch has always thought so.

But the family seemed to be even more unlucky. It seemed even more unfair that they had lost everything they had spent on it.

So who is at fault?

 Alas, it can only be said to be a crime.

Just by assuming her stepmother's position, Dorothy suddenly felt as if she was one step ahead of the other.

Probably you can only really imitate a certain lotus root man who cuts off the flesh to return to the mother, and removes the bones to return to the father. Only then can you feel a little freer, but in this witch world, a great **** will not suddenly pop up to reshape the lotus root golden body for you.

 When an ordinary witch dies, she is really dead. As for the resurrection in the underworld.

   emmmm The vampires are still relatively small and powerful in the Hades. After all, the founder of the Hades system is the Red Moon Sage Lilith. The vampires have always been regarded as expatriate workers in the Hades, and the vampire hospitals have always had resurrection services.

You can’t just commit suicide to repay the gift of childbirth and then ask your parents to resurrect you.

 Alas, it’s difficult to solve. In the final analysis, there seem to be only two solutions to this matter.

Be more ruthless and put all the thirteen clans of the Vampire clan in one fell swoop. If the problem itself cannot be solved, then solve the person who caused the problem.

But as her stepmother still has lingering feelings for the family, if this happens like she did to the angels and witches, Dorothy feels that she may never want to go home again. Only then will Anne allow her, the enemy of the family, to come into the house. Strange.

 The second way is to really solve the problem, find a way to get the blood of the true ancestors, and find a way to stop the decline of the thirteen clans of the blood clan.

However, how can it be so easy to solve the problem that the Thirteen Clan of Blood has been struggling with for tens of thousands of years?

 It’s difficult to handle, it’s a big head.

  The house witch has a headache
