Otaku Witch-Chapter 1514 - 817: Annie’s Past

Dracula Estate.

"Hmm, the inside isn’t as big as I imagined."

Just as she entered, Dorothy glanced around the interior of the estate, and couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.

The estate looked unrestrainedly sprawling from the outside, quite massive, but once inside, it was an unexpectedly rare example of a building where the interior matched the exterior in the Witch World.

"I thought the interior space would be expanded to the size of a whole world?"

The homebody witch was slightly surprised by this.

Most witch buildings had expanded internal spaces, where the outside looked like just a small villa, but the inside was vast and extravagantly luxurious.

After all, the housing prices in the Witch World are pretty high.

Although hiring a renovation master skilled in spatial magic to set up a spatial extension circle isn’t cheap, and maintaining it isn’t low-cost either, these expenses are insignificant compared to the housing prices on Sky Island.

Therefore, it’s generally more cost-effective for most witches to buy a modestly sized Sky Island and then use a spatial extension circle during renovation to enlarge the interior space.

But this Vampire Clan estate is surprisingly simple and consistent inside and out.

"Heh heh, young lady, spatial extension circles are just what impoverished people who can’t afford big houses use; high-ranking noble families like the Thirteen Vampire Clan Families wouldn’t use such means. They find the interior of extended spaces uncomfortable."

Beside her, Ruthfiel, seeing her young mistress’s puzzled expression, explained this with a hint of sarcasm.

And upon hearing this, Dorothy suddenly realized.

Ah, got it, it’s similar to the so-called luxury goods that to ordinary people look like a tax on intelligence.

Nobles care about exclusivity and having what others do not.

However, living in a space expanded by a spatial extension circle really isn’t as comfortable as a normal space; it’s like inflating a balloon—the bigger you blow it, the thinner the skin, and the space pushed to its limits becomes quite unstable. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

If the space of an intermediate world is expanded to its limit, then the inner space would degrade to a small world level.

Of course, as the highest-tier Calamity World, the internal space of the Witch World is quite stable. Generally, even with some expansion, it maintains the stability of a standard large world, so the impact isn’t significant unless you push the expansion to its limits and deflate the "balloon" to a small world level of stability.

But this so-called insignificant impact is referring to ordinary witches. For a powerful entity, this impact is actually quite significant.

After all, for sages or Peak level figures, space intensity below the level of a large world might be disturbed by their daily activities, akin to an elephant on ice, needing to tread carefully.

Moreover, someone like Dorothy with a space-sensitive physique might feel a bit awkward, but this discomfort pales in comparison to those astronomical housing prices. Anyway, it’s not like feeling nauseous from a teleportation circle; it’s more like having paper windows and doors at home, feeling a bit insecure, but it’s bearable.

Besides, as a homebody, a small Sky Island is enough for her. She doesn’t need to put on airs; most rooms in the Witch’s Home, except for a few special ones, haven’t been much expanded, and she finds it quite comfortable.

"What about my home? Is the Yemengade Family equally extravagant?"

Suddenly, the homebody witch remembered the home she’d never been back to. Now that Mother Dragon was considered a high-ranking noble in the Dragon Kingdom, she should expect similar treatment, right?

Although she doesn’t want to go back and inherit the family fortune, it’s not like she’s cutting ties with them; she’ll definitely visit in the future, so it’s better to understand now than to embarrass herself like Granny Liu visiting a grand mansion.

Moreover, even though she’s honest and might feel envious seeing others using such methods, dismissing it as sanctioned extravagance for fools with money.

But if it’s her own family being extravagant, she had to admit it felt a bit satisfying.

Well, she knows it’s a bit of a double standard, and that’s not good, but she really can’t help it.

Who in this world doesn’t have double standards? Your position determines your perspective, after all.

However...

Faced with Dorothy’s expectant gaze, Miss Fallen Angel suddenly found herself awkwardly averting her eyes.

"Uh... young lady, you must know, the fleet may look impressive, but it requires maintenance. Running a battle group is very costly, and the Yemengade Family, having just been revitalized, has a lot of expenses. Though we indeed have some surplus funds now, we’re not yet at the level where we can splurge recklessly for further development."

Ruthfiel scratched her cheek and carefully transmitted this to Dorothy.

The homebody witch: "......"

Ah, got it, indeed those filthy rich Vampire Clan households are unbearable, nothing like us Dragon Witches who cherish the virtues of thriftiness.

After entering, the vampire guards also left; they still had to continue patrolling. However, with Alice, a local witch, 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 led the way ahead, yet her head was lowered as she spoke.

Though she usually wasn’t fond of studying, with her head seemingly filled with muscle, Alice wasn’t truly foolish. The little witch could see her sisters were defending her just now.
