The fact that someone had already managed to string together an entire organization proved they were quite capable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alternatively, this 505 Formation might have existed even before the barrier closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would explain why they immediately started stirring up trouble everywhere the moment the barrier vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, the members of Tarot Manor found their interest piqued by this organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was especially true following Lan Qingyou's remark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tower: \"Speaking of which, I obtained this Jörmungandr's Blood from someone they had contacted. Furthermore, those individuals were capable of evolving into a race known as Lesser Demons. If you tell me there's no connection here, I simply refuse to believe it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Moon: \"Hmm!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Star: \"Hehe, this heaven-sent fortune has finally fallen into my lap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justice: \"I'm on my way, damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magician: \"You can just leave at any time, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priestess: \"We're about to engage the boss. How am I supposed to leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor: \"Wait a minute! There shouldn't be any signal inside a dungeon, right? How are you even seeing these messages?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priestess: \"...Don't worry about the minor details.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sun: \"Receiving messages while fighting a boss... Tsk, tsk. This really forces me to draw certain conclusions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priestess: \"What conclusions? Don't talk nonsense, I didn't do anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor: \"Highly suspicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Pope: \"It's probably the exact same situation The Tower encountered last time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single sentence, The Pope completely punctured the secret The High Priestess had been trying to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting a boss wasn't strange, but being able to receive messages while doing so could only mean she was somewhere on the Kalim Continent, not inside an instanced dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, it was highly likely to be a location concealing an ancient bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was truly an enviable position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judgement: \"Blood? Priestess, name your price.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone had followed the scent like a bloodhound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priestess: \"In your dreams.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tower: \"I refuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women offered absolutely zero leeway, rejecting him with absolute finality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a joke. The blood was already incredibly scarce; how could they possibly share it with the Supreme Council?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Qingyou was a given. Thanks to her previous transactions, she currently had zero worries about materials, gold coins, or anything of the sort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she had the means, there was absolutely no need to engage in another exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for The High Priestess, with over ten thousand subordinates under her command, she was hardly lacking in resources either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, neither of them was willing to bring the item out for a trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, never mind those two—nobody knew if the other members of the group had any surplus blood on hand. Everyone was keeping their cards close to their chests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be completely honest, when it came to the matter of the blood, Lan Qingyou felt regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She regretted the trade she had made back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it seemed like a lucrative deal at the time—and practically speaking, she truly had profited—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the long run, the overall population of the \"Witch\" race had shrunk significantly because of her decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had miscalculated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back to when the world's will announced the \"Era of Races\", it was obvious that the new races would gradually rise up and replace the previous \"Blue Star Earthlings\". Yet, she had foolishly handed over those crucial materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, she had simply assumed she didn't need any clansmen or the hassle of managing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with everyone else aggressively expanding their own races, if she, as the \"Clan Head\", did nothing, the Witch Clan would undoubtedly remain a minority in the future and would inevitably face...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, on second thought, if it weren't for the material support from the Supreme Council, she never would have been able to complete her Five Dragons Reincarnation Magic Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when weighing the gains and losses, it was truly hard to say whether she had taken a loss or made a profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, now that she had her hands on more blood, she had absolutely no intention of selling it. It was far better to use it all to increase the population of the Witch Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Empress: \"I'm here. Just search for the Empress Farm on the teleportation device, and you'll find it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Tower: \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering intelligence...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Shang Chuan's message, Chu Yuan instantly understood what the guy was scheming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already known that the 505 Formation likely held ancient bloodlines. If they could investigate the 505 Formation thoroughly and leak that intelligence to the members of the Manor, he could Reap the Benefits as a Fisherman. He wouldn't even have to share the profits with the Supreme Council.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the prerequisite to not sharing with the Supreme Council was that he had to split the rewards with the people in the Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with someone as principled as Lan Qingyou involved, he definitely wouldn't end up on the losing side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after stroking his chin thoughtfully, Chu Yuan called for his secretary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having obtained the exact coordinates, Lan Qingyou waved goodbye to Susi and teleported to the Space-Time Corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was terrifying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Terrifying my ass. It's just a Witch, what's there to be afraid of?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why were you covering your mouth just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly! Holding your breath was exaggerated enough, but you actually covered your damn mouth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I just ate garlic earlier and was afraid my breath would stink!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, yeah, sure. Afraid of stinking us out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right. I wonder who you were really afraid of offending with your breath. It's so hard to guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, I still don't even know what I was so afraid of just now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me neither. It just felt inexplicably overwhelming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you guys think it might be due to a difference in life dimensions? Is that why an evolved Witch can inflict such a Dimensional Reduction Strike on us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That hypothesis isn't impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard to say, really hard to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's just hurry up and get to work. If we save up enough money, maybe the Supreme Council will start selling Evolution Potions in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Adventurer's Guild also functioned as the hub for currency circulation, anyone who had ever conducted a transaction within its walls now held at least a few silver or gold coins in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although everyone had been somewhat unaccustomed to it at first, they now realized that coins were indeed far more convenient to carry around than bulky materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was especially true now that the Identity Card allowed items to be stacked. It completely eliminated the need for a wallet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susi glanced at the crowd, which had immediately become lively the moment Lan Qingyou left, before returning to her office on the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she sat down, Susi found the Adventurer's Guild channel on her Magic Desk and typed out a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh! Resigning just like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way, Witch, you're actually resigning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the Chief treating you poorly, or is the work environment too bad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just don't get it. You get a subsidy of at least three thousand silver coins a month, right? Just coast along and collect the paycheck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Susi—a Witch, which was a rare sight even within the Adventurer's Guild—was actually resigning, all the regional managers suddenly popped out to comment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regional Branch President of the Adventurer's Guild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did this position come with a monthly stipend, but since the organization was still in its infancy, there wasn't even that much actual work to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be described as the perfect job: minimal effort for maximum pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, none of the branch presidents could fathom why Susi would actively choose to resign...\u003C\u002Fp>",1302,"2026-06-05T21:58:31.955Z",1,"novelbin.me","c34206aa9b68934dc2518130edf1107dbab617ab29fb57d9b731e80bfbba7571","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-268","global-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-chapter-266",965,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-survival-the-tower-witch-with-an-e-rank-t-cover.jpg"]
