She then began tossing the magic items she had obtained this time onto the expensive-looking carpet one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lilith bent down and picked up a long-handled, double-bladed Axe. It had a unique design interwoven with black and red, still carrying traces of water stains and moss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magic items, our harvest from this dungeon run.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian rested her chin on her hand, replying nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Eminence, may I use this Axe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steward, Lilith, had been captivated by the weapon's appearance the moment she laid eyes on it, so she held it up and asked Vivian for permission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't I say you could use whatever you wanted? Just make sure to register it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood. Thank you, Your Eminence. Also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian was growing a little impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your clothes are soiled. Would you like to freshen up first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian looked down at the dark gray mud clinging to her pristine white dress. Lost in thought for a moment, a smile soon graced her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mud had gotten stuck to her during her \"tug-of-war\" with Gu Xiaobei. It was a fond memory, so Vivian shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind it. Just have someone bring me a fresh outfit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, Lilith turned to leave, intending to call someone to haul away the massive pile of magic items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Vivian called out to stop her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, did the scouting teams find any clues regarding the dungeons?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immense profits from this recent expedition had opened her eyes to the potential of dungeons, prompting her decision to heavily invest in exploring them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, ever since dungeons first appeared, she had been continuously dispatching her subordinates to locate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her personal participation this time was purely to assess just how lucrative such places could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the results had been incredibly gratifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although her gains could not be considered massive compared to the Pope and the Tower, amounting to just over a hundred magic items, both the world-class items and the other resources they produced were the real deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though that particular dungeon was likely highly unusual due to the seal, simply acquiring magic items made it a huge profit in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We found two. Judging by their colors, they should both be low-level dungeons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is good. Have everyone prepare; we will conquer them tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Your Eminence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One more thing. Pass down the order: if anyone encounters a woman with crimson eyes in the future, they are to avoid provoking her at all costs. Also, send someone to purchase Appraisal Glasses from the nearby settlements and the world channel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling the Magic Eye of the Witch, Lan Qingyou, Vivian gave one final instruction just as Lilith was about to depart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not that she feared Lan Qingyou's Magic Eye, but rather that the innate talent of a Magic Eye seemed to possess an incredibly high skill ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they accidentally provoked a Witch with an offensive-type Magic Eye, her subordinates might end up dead without even knowing how it happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After acknowledging the order, Lilith left with the massive Axe in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian stood up, walked over to the room's window, and pushed it open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already dusk. The lingering glow of the setting sun bathed her face, painting her delicate features in a rosy hue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She currently resided within a solemn and mysterious Gothic castle nestled deep in the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This very castle was her level six Shelter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the castle flowed a river about twenty meters wide. Along its banks stood numerous Gothic cottages, some still under construction while others were already fully built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scattered beside these cottages were quite a few Magic Tents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of ten thousand vampires lived here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were Vivian's subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a vampire, her sensitivity to and control over blood were naturally unparalleled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when Chu Yuan brought her ten thousand portions of the Star Dragon King's Blood Essence, requesting her to brew magic fluid capable of evolving people into vampires, she had divided those ten thousand portions of blood into twenty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her precise blood manipulation, splitting a drop into two was an effortless feat for the True Ancestor of the vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she suffered from social anxiety, it did not mean she abhorred interaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the desire to communicate was an inherent trait of all intelligent beings, and she was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were truly the only vampire in the world, that would have been fine, but the Supreme Council also had ten thousand of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, she absolutely needed ten thousand on her side to protect herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God only knew how the Supreme Council would treat vampires in the future. It was always better to be safe than sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, now that she had become the True Ancestor of all Phantom Mist Vampires, she was an existence capable of dominating their entire lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that power, she no longer had to fear being bullied like she was in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, aside from the portions lost to experimental waste and the single drop she consumed herself, she distributed the remaining ten thousand and sixteen vials of vampire magic fluid to the people in the surrounding Shelters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unsurprisingly, those people did not hesitate in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even knowing full well that becoming a Phantom Mist Vampire meant pledging eternal servitude as Vivian's subordinate, they simply did not care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in this harsh new world, there were people willing to bankrupt themselves entirely just to obtain a single Evolution Item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in this harsh new world, there were people willing to bankrupt themselves entirely just to obtain a single Evolution Item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Becoming a mere subordinate was practically a non-issue compared to that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Vivian was a local celebrity who unabashedly flaunted her castle Shelter, and they genuinely respected her strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One might ask: what if someone refused to submit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry to say, but anyone in the vicinity who had refused to submit had long since perished when they tried to attack the castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being so ostentatious inevitably attracted the prying eyes of those with ulterior motives. Ever since it was a level two Shelter, people had constantly tried to \"make a quick buck\" off of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was always the same: without exception, they all died beneath the castle walls and were buried in the woods out back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside her castle, besides herself, lived sixteen other vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without exception, these sixteen vampires had all awakened the strength of a Marquis immediately after consuming the magic fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, they were granted the right to move directly into her castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, and Baron?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was merely a power-ranking system she had modeled after the vampires in the novels she read.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the vampire race itself was something she had conjured up through the \"power of imagination\" while brewing the magic fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, there was no harm in borrowing a few titles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the most important reason was that it made it easier for her to manage these ten thousand-plus vampires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, it made it easier for her to act as a hands-off boss, delegating all the tedious management tasks to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, you could hardly expect a nineteen-year-old shut-in girl to personally manage a publicly traded company with ten thousand employees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why those sixteen individuals ended up in the castle, it was entirely the result of a misunderstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time she was distributing the magic fluid to the surrounding crowds, being inherently poor with words, she had handed it out in absolute silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this behavior gave everyone the impression that she was an \"aloof, unapproachable queen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the people who had been desperately struggling on the brink of death suddenly felt as though they had found their faith. They began treating her like a god, which was exactly why Vivian had come to be addressed as \"Your Eminence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was precisely because of this \"aloof queen\" aura that, immediately after becoming vampires, everyone engaged in a fierce battle.\u003C\u002Fp>",1367,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.955Z",1,"novelbin.me","2382528da43a5abd2dc0e13fe44917e18f709d32d1cf5cb229e773960d303654","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-237","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-235",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
