Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 143 Departure
"Miss, please come with me."

The snakehead walked humbly in front of Adele, occasionally glancing at the two ladies behind him.

"The witch's charm is really not exaggerated. I can even hear that guy's heartbeat speeding up."

Vinata leaned close to Adele's ear and whispered.

"How should I put it? This compliment really makes me feel complicated."

Adele gave a bitter smile. After she asked to buy the boat ticket, the snakehead immediately and attentively offered to help her carry her suitcase. He was used to doing things by himself, so he was not used to the preferential treatment of the lady.

"Miss, there are not many ships heading to Feysac now. In fact, all passenger ships have stopped operating, so I am going to introduce you to a privately owned whaling ship. The captain and I are old acquaintances, and he should be able to make room for you."

The snakehead explained diligently to Adele behind him.

"A whaling ship? Does that mean we still have a chance to see a whaling scene?"

Sophie asked curiously after hearing these words.

Adele patted Sophie's head lovingly, nodded slightly to the snake head and said, "As you can see, this little guy is very interested in whaling. I wonder if you can satisfy the curiosity of a little lady?"

"It's my pleasure, ma'am."

The snake head nodded quickly, but his eyes could not help but glance at Adele's chest. Adele saw it, but because his spiritual power had just been exhausted, it was not suitable for action, so he had to give up in the end.

You have to adapt, Adele…

Adele took a deep breath and tilted her head slightly: "Sir?"

"Oh, sorry, ma'am, I'm being rude," the smuggler apologized. "I just remembered the complicated process of whaling and was wondering where to start."

I believe you are the one with the devil!

Adele scolded in her heart, but suppressed her anger and signaled the other party to continue.

"In fact, the whaling process varies greatly depending on the configuration of the whaling ship. Besides, I am not a crew member on the whaling ship, so I don't know much about the specific details. You can ask Captain Basque about these after you get on board."

Hearing this, the excitement on Sophie's face disappeared in an instant.

The snakehead explained guiltily, "However, whaling is a livelihood with a long history here. When the weather is slightly warmer, the residents of Constantin City will go out to sea to hunt whales. After the whales are processed through a tedious process, the whale meat is also cut into pieces and then weighed down with volcanic rocks. After most of the water is drained, the fish meat is hung up to dehydrate. This process can remove the toxins in the whale meat."

When they came to this point, they were walking on the higher walkway in the city of Constance, overlooking the sparkling sea in the distance. The snakehead pointed to the place in the city below where white light was flashing, and introduced it to Adele and the others:
"Look, that's the whale meat that the residents hang up. I've eaten it many times, and it's delicious whether it's smoked or grilled. But I don't recommend you go to the downtown area when whale meat is drying... God, the smell is really terrible."

The snakehead showed an expression of dismay. However, seeing Sophie's interested eyes, he added: "You can go and put the things on Captain Basque's whaling ship first. His ship will not sail until tomorrow. You still have time to go to the Harpoon Restaurant to taste the fried whale meat of Constantin City. A portion is only one soli."

"I'll take you to taste it later."

Adele said to Sophie, who nodded obediently and stopped talking. Adele looked up at Vinata, and there was a hint of worry in the eyes of both of them.

An innocent little girl has now become interested in the whaling industry. And from her performance, she is more interested in the hunting process rather than the yearning for delicious food.

What the devil left in her body has begun to affect her temperament... Adele thought heavily.

I missed the Tarot meeting last week due to various accidents. Now five days have passed and the next Tarot meeting is almost time. I have to seek help from those big shots to see if Sophie's problem can be solved.

The problem with the craftsman should be solved. Although the result is not perfect, Miss Justice will not refuse to pay. When the time comes, I will use this as an excuse to ask her to help Sophie remove the demonic characteristics in her body...

Adele was lost in thought. When she looked up, she heard the snakehead's voice:

"Look, that's Captain Basque's fleet!"

Adele looked up and saw six huge ships slowly entering the port. The ship in the middle stood out. It was made entirely of steel and had a huge blast furnace on it. Thick smoke billowed out and a deafening whistle blew. The surrounding ships were of different sizes, and the last ship was towing a huge sperm whale.

"What's up with that flagship in the middle?"

Vinata couldn't help but ask, "Isn't this Loen's ironclad ship? Why is it used for whaling?"

"Haha, this is indeed an ironclad ship,"

The snakehead nodded and said, "It was originally an ironclad ship built here, but after the main body was built, before the guns were installed, the war ended. The Feysac barbarians were afraid of this kind of ironclad ship, so they stipulated in the Inter-Sea Treaty that Feysac's fleet should withdraw from Loen's territorial waters, but Loen was required not to increase the number of ironclad warships installed in this sea area."

"However, it was difficult to deal with the ship that had already been built. Finally, the masters held a meeting and decided not to equip the ship with weapons, but only to install pneumatic whale harpoons and whale guns, and treat it as a whaling ship."

"Because there is no need to load ammunition, this ship has a special refining furnace that can be used to refine whale oil on board, so you can stay at sea longer. You came at the right time. Captain Basque was at sea for six months last time. If you come a few days later, I still recommend that you go through the Star Plateau in the Kingdom of Intis."

The snakehead picked up the two people's suitcases and walked down the stairs with difficulty.

"Come on, let's go find Captain Basque and ask him to find a room for you three ladies."

At this point, the snakehead suddenly seemed to remember something, and hurriedly lowered his voice and warned: "Captain Basque is a retired officer, and he may have a military background, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get this kind of ironclad ship. So when you meet him later and he asks you why you are going to Feysac, you'd better give an explanation."
