Otaku Witch-Chapter 1517 - 818: Vampire Clan Strength 2

It’s just that these Archdukes rarely show up because they are too ancient. The wear and tear of their long lives is terrifying, so to preserve their strength, they choose to save it by sleeping.

However, not all the Archdukes are asleep. Their slumber is taken in turns, and every so often, three Archdukes will awaken. During this period, they are the highest decision-makers in the entire Vampire Clan.

.....

Dorothy and Ruthfiel went up the mountain while listening to Alice introduce the general situation of the Thirteen Vampire Clan Families.

"Uh, are we going up? Further up is the mountain top, right? Can we go up just like that?"

Listening to the distinct hierarchy within the Vampire Clan Witches, the homebody witch couldn’t help but stop and then asked with some doubt.

According to the standards of the vampires, the highest peak of Eternal Night Mountain should be the residence of the Mistress of the Dracula Family, one of the Thirteen Dukes. This should be a very important location, barging in seems not right.

After all, even ordinary vampires entering the Holy Mountain is already a serious crime, and the lower rank nobles cannot enter the territory of the higher-ranking nobles without reason, that would also be the crime of overstepping.

"No, mom and Uncle Adam live in grandma’s castle."

Alice shook her head, then pointed to the terrifying castle atop the mountain and said.

Dorothy: "???"

Uh, this....

The homebody witch was stunned again, wait, didn’t they agree on a fallen scenario where the tiger was bullied by dogs? This scene doesn’t look like being neglected at all, then why did those guards dare to act so unruly earlier?

Moreover, she hasn’t prepared to face the big boss yet, right?

She thought of casually exploring vampire information today, but ends up being led straight to the final boss’s door?

Dorothy felt headaches coming on for a moment.

Honestly, what Alice said about the scale of the Vampire Clan’s Thirteen Clans along the way was already terrifying.

After losing the True Ancestor’s Blood, the promotion of vampire nobility became difficult. Their bloodline gifts became limited with restrictions, where each one can only endure three First Embraces.

The thirteen Archdukes can undergo First Embrace for thirty-nine Marquises, thirty-nine Marquises can undergo First Embrace for one hundred and seventeen Earls, these Earls can undergo First Embrace for three hundred and fifty-one Viscounts, and Viscounts can undergo First Embrace for one thousand and fifty-three Baronesses.....

Namely, thirteen top Peaks, thirty-nine ordinary Peaks, one hundred and seventeen title-level sorceresses, three hundred and fifty-one senior great witches, one thousand and fifty-three normal sorceresses....

"Tsk, playing like this is ridiculous, it’s inflated too much, isn’t it? Soon there’ll be Sages everywhere, and Peaks will be as common as dogs."

Dorothy couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

This explains why earlier a title-level sorceress was directly acting as head of security at the gate. If the Vampire Clan’s Thirteen Clans indeed have such scale, they certainly have the qualification to be so arrogant.

This is the foundation of top-notch prestigious families, right?

"Don’t panic, Dorothy."

While the homebody witch was angrily cursing internally about how unplayable this was, the Hat Senior Sister lowered her tentacles and whispered in her ear.

"I’ve just looked up some information for you, there’s good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

"Bad news."

Though a bit surprised by senior Fanny’s proactivity, Dorothy replied without hesitation.

"Oh, then I’ll start with the good news, what you just thought of was the peak period of the Vampire Clan’s Thirteen Clans. Nowadays, after so many years of decline, their strength is no longer what it used to be, no longer fully staffed." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Hat Senior Sister rebelled slightly, insisting on starting with the good news.

However, upon hearing this, the homebody witch’s brows relaxed.

Great, it’s good they’ve declined, otherwise the previous setup was unplayable, in a fight it might actually get erased by the avenue.

"Then what about the bad news?"

She asked again.

"The bad news is that although the Vampire Clan’s Thirteen Clans are no longer fully staffed, their numbers have decreased, but the quality has improved. In terms of high-end combat power, they might be even stronger now."

Senior Fanny spread her tentacles and said.

Dorothy: "......."

She fell silent for a moment.

"What’s going on?"

She looked at Hat Senior Sister in confusion.

"What do you think? Of course, it’s because the Vampire Clan’s Thirteen Clans spent years breeding the best. With a place for every carrot and holes constantly shrinking, they haven’t sat idly by. Starting thousands of years ago, under the Dukes’ wills, the Vampire Clan’s Thirteen Clans initiated brutal breeding."

"Since senior noble positions are so rare and precious, naturally they can’t be wasted on those lazy parasites and weaklings. Every century, the Vampire Clan conducts an internal rank personal battle. Members ranked lower than the passing score will be demoted; they must hand over their Blood of Ascension to winners of lower ranks, swapping positions."

"Moreover, vampires have been absorbing external Genius Witches, First Embracing them into the Vampire Clan as noble seeds. This way, after generations of natural selection, today’s vampire nobility are unmatched by the old nobles. At the same rank, these new nobles can beat several past ones."

"So, their numbers have decreased, but the quality improved tremendously."
