Chapter 813: 817. Annie

817. Annie's Past

Dim lights, eye protection, font size: large, medium, small.

Dracula Manor.

"Emmm, this interior is not as big as imagined."

Just entering the door, Dorothy looked at the scene inside the manor, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

This manor looks like a proper illegal construction from the outside, very huge, but looking at it when entering, it is a rare building in the Witch World that is the same inside and outside.

"I thought this internal space would be expanded to be as big as a world?"

The Home Witch was a little surprised by this.

Most of the witch's buildings have internal space expansion. Those houses look like a small villa from the outside, but actually, there is a different world inside, which is extremely luxurious.

After all, who makes the housing prices in the Witch World quite high?

Although it is not cheap to invite a decoration master who is good at space magic to set up a space extension array, and the consumption of maintaining the space extension array is not low, these expenses are small compared to the housing prices of empty islands.

Therefore, most witches will choose a high-cost-effective plan of buying a small empty island that is almost enough, and then using a space extension array to expand the internal use space when decorating.

But this vampire manor is unexpectedly simple and honest, quite consistent inside and outside.

"Hehe, Young Lady, space extension arrays are all means that poor people who can't afford big houses have to use. How can high-class nobles like the thirteen vampire clans use them? They dislike the discomfort inside the space extension array."

On the side, Lucifer saw the Young Lady's puzzled look, and explained with sarcasm.

And hearing this, Dorothy suddenly realized.

Well, understood, it's the same truth as those luxury goods that look like IQ tax to ordinary people.

Nobles, what they pay attention to is the force of having what others don't.

However, the space expanded by the space extension array is indeed not as comfortable as the normal space. It's like blowing a balloon. The bigger it is blown, the thinner the skin, and the space that is expanded to the limit will become quite unstable.

If the space of the middle world is expanded to the limit, the internal space will be downgraded to the level of a small world.

Of course, the Witch World, as the highest-level disaster world, has a very stable internal space. Generally, expanding it still has the stability of an ordinary big world, and the impact is actually not big, as long as you don't have to expand to the limit, blowing the "balloon" to the maximum at once, making the space stability drop to the level of a small world.

However, this so-called impact is not big for ordinary witches. If it is a strong person, the impact is actually still very large.

After all, if it is a big shot like a Sage or a peak, the space lower than the big world may be stirred by their daily activities, making the space unstable, just like an elephant walking on ice, you have to be careful.

There is also Dorothy's space-sensitive constitution, which sometimes feels a little awkward, but this little awkwardness is nothing in the face of that sky-high housing price. She thinks it must be her own problem. Anyway, it hasn't reached the level of wanting to vomit directly like a teleportation array, at most it's the feeling that the doors and windows at home are made of paper, a bit insecure, but completely bearable.

Besides, a small empty island is enough for a homebody like her. She doesn't need to pay attention to any scene. Anyway, she hasn't expanded much except for some special rooms in the Witch's Home, and it's quite comfortable to live in....

"Then what about my home? Is the Ye Meng Jia De family also so arrogant?"

Dorothy suddenly thought of the home she had never returned to. The Dragon Mother is now also a big noble of the Dragon Kingdom. This should also be treated similarly, right?

Although she is unwilling to go home to inherit the family property, she hasn't broken off contact with the family. She will definitely go back to see it in the future. Now understand it first, so as not to be like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden and lose face.

And she is honest. Even if she sees others doing this, she will be very sour, will despise this as an illegal construction method, and will be a fool with money.

But if her own family is so arrogant, she has to admit that it's still a bit cool to think about it.

Well, she knows she is a bit double-standard, which is not good, but she really can't help it.

Who in the world doesn't have double standards? The butt decides the head.

However...

Facing Dorothy's very expectant eyes, the Fallen Angel lady suddenly moved her gaze away a bit awkwardly.

"Cough cough... Young Lady, you have to know that the fleet looks majestic, but it still needs to be maintained. Raising a legion is a particularly expensive thing, and the Ye Meng Jia De family has just revived, and there are many places where money needs to be spent. Although there is indeed a little extra money now, for the sake of further development in the future, it has not reached the level of being able to be extravagant and wasteful at will."

Lucifer scratched her cheek and carefully transmitted this to Dorothy.

Dorothy: "..."

Well, understood, sure enough, the vampire dog is really damn, not at all like our Dragon Witch who keeps in mind the virtue of diligence and thrift.

And after entering the door, the group of vampire guards also left. They still have to continue patrolling, but because there is a local witch like Alice, the three don't have to worry about getting lost.

"Sister, you actually didn't have to stand up for me just now."

The little witch led the way in front, but lowered her head and said this.

Although she doesn't like learning much on weekdays, and her brain is full of muscles, Alice is not really stupid. The little witch can see that her sisters were fighting for her just now.

"Alright, the sister just needs to be protected by the sister. This is the sister's privilege, and it is also the sister's obligation."

Dorothy reached out and rubbed the head of this sister who was sometimes too sensible, and said as a matter of course.

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

The Home Witch thought of her stepmother, whose temper was not very good, and was a little puzzled again.

The stepmother is also a titled Great Witch of genuine value, not the kind of watery titled Great Witch who guards the door, but a quasi-peak big shot who can queue up for promotion like Teacher Spider or Aunt Zi.

It's just that she is busy showing off her love with Adam every day, and has retired from the battlefield. Naturally, she is too lazy to take the exam for promotion. Women in love, eyes only have their beloved, completely uninterested in career.

But the strength is there, and with her personality of protecting the calf, how could anyone in this vampire manor dare to bully them mother and daughter?

Dorothy thought of the sacrificial ceremony that Senior Helmos mentioned before, and felt a little nervous in her heart. This wouldn't be this group of vampires acting in advance, wouldn't it be that the stepmother and Adam had been controlled?...

It shouldn't be, after all, they just saw the stepmother and Adam shopping together lovingly before.

And hearing her sister ask this, Alice also scratched her face awkwardly.

"Actually, Mom has always felt guilty about the family. After all, she actually ran away from home back then."

The little witch led the way and told Dorothy and Lucifer about the past.

Annie, whose real name is Lilith, is a vampire witch, and also the third Young Lady of the Dracula family, the head of the thirteen vampire clans, and even almost became the mistress of the Dracula family.

Dim lights, eye protection, font size: large, medium, small.

Annie in her youth was once a shining new star that the entire thirteen vampire clans were looking forward to. She was talented, outstanding, and powerful. It was just like the Dragon Mother to the Ye Meng Jia De clan, the hope that could make the vampire clan great again.

It's just that Annie in her youth was indeed a bit rebellious. She first fell in love with Hati Fenrir of the werewolf witch clan, the mortal enemy of the vampire clan.

Originally, the two who were blood enemies met and fell in love on the battlefield, and also made the name "Blood Moon Twins," which was famous for a while.

But this relationship was clearly impossible to receive the blessings of both families, so it was a live version of Romeo and Juliet in the vampire and werewolf version.

The relationship between the two also lost to reality, and both sides finally couldn't withstand the pressure of their respective families, and finally broke up.

It was precisely this breakup that made Annie, who was originally very loyal to the family, a little shaken. Plus, after various coincidences, she seemed to have discovered some secrets, and finally broke with the family completely in a rage and ran away.

"Actually, Mom was also impulsive in a rage at the beginning. After calming down over the years, she also thought it through. She should have inherited the position of the family mistress of Grandmother, but finally abandoned the family responsibility and left. She felt quite regretful and guilty about this, otherwise she wouldn't have come back to visit relatives this time."

Alice sighed, and then said this.

Dorothy: "..."

Wow, listening to the stepmother's past, the Home Witch was also a little surprised. She didn't expect Annie to have such a dramatic past.

And, little Alice didn't know what Annie discovered back then that made her break with the family, but the Home Witch knew. She heard Senior Helmos mention it last time, because Annie discovered that she was actually a container for the ancestor to resurrect.

In this way, it seems that the thirteen vampire clans are also a bit wronged. After all, from Alice's description just now, at the beginning, the vampire clan really intended to cultivate Annie with all their strength, and didn't really treat her as a sacrifice completely. Otherwise, Alice's grandmother wouldn't have almost let Annie inherit her position.

But who could have thought that Annie, who carried the hope of the entire vampire clan, didn't engage in career like her own Dragon Mother, but was addicted to boring love.

And who didn't she talk to, she had to talk to the werewolf witch who was the blood enemy of the vampire witch...

Dorothy remembered the story she heard in the legend about the phantom thief Jack before.

The phantom thief Jack threw the true ancestor blood diamond he stole to a dog witch among the passersby, and thus, the first werewolf witch was born....

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

This is a real blood feud.

Anyway, the vampire clan and the werewolf have been fighting for tens of thousands of years, and there is still no possibility of easing so far. A vampire witch and a werewolf witch meet, basically they will definitely fight.

I don't know how Annie and that Hati lady were in love at that time. Is it the classic script of love and kill?

Dorothy is actually quite curious about this, a little want to eat melon.

However, she also roughly understood why the stepmother could swallow her anger this time. She probably really felt guilty.

The Home Witch also thought of the Dragon Mother.

She didn't grow up in the Ye Meng Jia De family since she was a child, and didn't enjoy much family cultivation and benefits, so she told the Dragon Mother that she didn't want to inherit the family.

But even so, she still felt guilty about the Dragon Mother. After all, the mother gave birth to her because she wanted an heir, but she ran away after throwing down the burden, which was a bit sorry for the five years of pregnancy of the Dragon Mother.

She, a wild witch who hadn't received much family favor, was like this, so the pure vampire like Annie who grew up in the thirteen vampire clans was even more so.

Although Dorothy knew that this stepmother was actually the reincarnation of the vampire true ancestor, and the entire vampire clan was actually her subordinates, Annie herself didn't have the memory of who knows how many generations ago.

She probably also took the revival of the family as her own responsibility like the Dragon Mother at the beginning, and was very loyal to the family, but in the end, she personally abandoned the family she once regarded as everything. This is impossible not to feel guilty.

If the thirteen vampire clans really treated her harshly as a sacrifice, then the psychological burden of rebellion would be less, but it happened that people really cultivated with all their strength, and it was her own incompetence...

And it's no wonder that the thirteen vampire clans are now crazy and want to rebel, this once correct attempt was declared a failure, and they can only break the jar. With the declining family background of the vampire clan, they probably really don't have the energy to try to walk the right path again.

But who can blame this?

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

Dorothy also chose the individual, and somewhat understood that mentality.

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

The Home Witch has always thought so.

But the family seems to be more unlucky. Their desperate capital was lost, which seems even more wronged.

So who was wrong?

Sigh, can only say sin.

Dorothy just substituted into the stepmother's position, and suddenly felt a headache.

This can probably only really learn from a certain lotus root person to cut meat to return to mother, remove bones to return to father, this can be slightly freer, but this witch world will not suddenly jump out of a god to reshape the lotus root golden body for you.

Ordinary witches die, they are really dead. As for the resurrection of the underworld...

Emmm, the vampire clan still has some influence in the underworld. After all, the founder of the underworld system includes the Red Moon Sage Lilith. The vampire clan has actually always been an expatriate staff of the underworld, and there are resurrection service items in the vampire hospital.

You can't just commit suicide to repay the grace of birth and then let your parents resurrect you.

Sigh, it's hard to handle. In the final analysis, there seem to be two solutions to this matter.

One is more ruthless, directly pot the thirteen vampire clans, can't solve the problem itself, then solve the person who caused the problem.

But with the stepmother's lingering feelings for the family, if this is also potted like the Angel Witch Ancestral Court, Dorothy feels that she might never be able to go home in her life. It would be strange if Annie could let her, the enemy of the clan, enter the door in the future.

And the second method is to really solve the problem, find a way to get the true ancestor blood, and find a way to make the thirteen vampire clans no longer weak.

But the problem that the thirteen vampire clans have been tossing for tens of thousands of years is unsolved, where is it so easy to solve?

Hard to handle, headache.

The Home Witch is having a headache. ===== CHAPTER 814 =====
