Chapter 340: Those 'Big Shots'

"Oh? Then what high opinion does Your Eminence the High Priestess have?"

The mocked Chu Yuan was not angry, but instead looked at the other party very provocatively.

He even changed his form of address.

"..."

After a slight silence, Vivian decided not to bicker with this kind of person.

"That 18000 in private room number 66 is a guy named Victoria Salek. I don't know which organization she is from, but I know this guy is an Alchemist doing Potion business."

"Number 11896 in private room number 51 is named Lester Giovanni. I do know this guy; he is the Patriarch of the Soul-Devouring Vampires."

"Number 10086 in private room number 13 is a person from your Supreme Council. He has a weird accent, seems to be named Morikawa Shigeki or something."

"Finally, that number 11111 in private room number 83 is named Lanstot, one of the Four Great Knight Commanders from an organization called the Knight Guild."

The people around her were stunned listening to her.

Although they all knew Vivian was definitely not as noisy as she appeared to be, nor was her jokester attribute that heavy.

But showing her hand a little today still inevitably made people feel surprised.

"Ho! You actually know all of them?"

Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

While Vivian very proudly lifted her chin and pointed at her ears.

"My ears are sharp. I memorized the voices and names of these people during the cocktail party earlier."

"As expected of a bat, sensitive to sounds."

Olf remarked from the side.

This resulted in drawing mass mockery from the crowd.

"Insolence! She is a Vampire, she is Your Eminence!"

"Exactly, exactly! Show some respect!"

Alright, although it was mass mockery, it was obvious these words weren't aimed at that bearded Nordic guy Olf.

So this time, it was Vivian's turn to fall silent.

In the entire Tarot Manor, the ones with the most exaggerated titles right now were just her and Lan Qingyou, so the only ones who could be teased with titles were just the two of them.

"Speaking of which, who are those guys you just mentioned? Why haven't I heard of a single one of them?"

Chu Yuan interrupted the crowd's mass mockery and then asked Vivian.

As a result, Vivian pouted and turned her face away, looking like she completely didn't want to engage.

"I'm actually interested in that Soul-Devouring Vampire. Does that mean your Vampires have more than just the Illusion Mist branch?"

Seeing that Chu Yuan had reached an impasse, Jiang Lan on the side helped out.

Although it was called helping out, in reality, this planting expert who only farmed on her own little plot of land was quite interested in these matters.

Let alone her, quite a few among the others hadn't even heard of these people either. Everyone, including Lan Qingyou, turned their gazes towards Vivian.

In an instant, surrounded by their gazes, Vivian's vanity was immensely satisfied.

"Ahem! Well, actually, it's nothing much. Just like the Witches under Tower's command, although we are all Vampires, the focus of our abilities is different."

After a tactical cough, although Vivian hadn't turned her face back, she still spoke up to clear everyone's confusion.

"Oh?"

Hearing that her own matters were actually involved in this, Lan Qingyou also became interested.

"The abilities of the Soul-Devouring Vampires are focused on Necromancy, while we Illusion Mist Vampires mainly focus on Illusion Magic. To put it bluntly, it was likely caused by the differences in the Ancient Blood used during the initial research and development."

"Of course, besides the differences in materials, according to my research, I found that there is very likely a difference in 'mental inclination' as well. After all, the things each thought about during creation were different, and what they desired to obtain was also different."

Good heavens.

So she really had researched it. No wonder she was acting so tsundere when asked just now, she actually had the goods in her stomach.

However, according to this theory, then it was a possibility that would exist regardless of the race.

After all, the creation process leaned more towards the 'mental inclination' system.

As the proposer of the 'mental inclination theory', Lan Qingyou increasingly felt that this thing was extremely important.

"So that's how it is. Then what about that Alchemist named Victoria? I'm quite interested in him."

After getting a rough idea, Lan Qingyou asked about another person she was interested in.

After all, they were both Alchemists. Since she could leave a name with Vivian and could arm-wrestle with someone from the Supreme Council in terms of financial resources at the auction, then she must surely be a very capable Alchemist.

However, when Lan Qingyou asked about this person, Vivian turned her head and gave her a somewhat obscure look. Then she blocked one nostril with her index finger while violently inhaling through the other nostril.

...

OK, with just this one action, everyone present already understood what was going on.

Addictive Potions, that was indeed something very profitable.

While Lan Qingyou, an Alchemy Grandmaster, curled her lips after seeing this action.

Sure enough, someone still went down this path.

When she first brewed her first pot of potion and became an Alchemist, she had already guessed that someone would definitely do this in the future.

It was just that she didn't expect the first time she encountered it would actually be at her own auction.

How to put it, it just felt so damn unlucky.

"However... the other party is a demon."

"Nonsense, someone who could do this kind of thing must definitely be a demon, right?"

Gu Xiaobei rolled her eyes and complained.

"They say don't interrupt if you're uncultured. The demon I'm talking about isn't the kind of demon you're talking about, it refers to that group of people who were called demons back on Blue Star."

Vivian immediately retorted, and conveniently gave Gu Xiaobei a science lesson.

"Oh, oh, you're talking about those Demonic Humans. I thought you were just using a metaphor."

If one really had to calculate, Gu Xiaobei's educational background was actually higher than the shut-in Vivian's.

So she still knew what those Demonic Humans were.

The phrase 'liking to eat children' might be used to scare people in other places, but when placed on that group of Demonic Humans, it was a very factual statement.

Because they really ate children...

"Judgment, the intelligence capabilities of your Supreme Council are lacking. This kind of person still hasn't been executed? Wasn't what you said before about wanting to maximize the survival rate of Transmigrators just a joke?"

Disgusted, Lan Qingyou looked at Chu Yuan exceptionally seriously and asked a question that struck straight to the soul.

"I've heard other council members talk about this person. Although it's an Addictive Potion, because everyone now has magic power in their bodies, it doesn't cause any harm to the body. So no one pays attention to this matter."

"Pfft!"

Just as Chu Yuan's voice settled, Lan Qingyou laughed out loud.

"Are you serious?"

Waving her hands, after calming herself down a bit, Lan Qingyou looked at Chu Yuan in astonishment and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you think Addictive Potions could still be harmless to the body? In reality, even the Mana Potions and Healing Potions you usually drink have side effects. Do you think that kind of thing wouldn't have any?"
