Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 144 Harpoon
The three followed the snakehead down the hillside, went around the sailors' family area where whale meat was drying upwind, and arrived at the port.

"Look, that's the Harpoon Restaurant I mentioned."

The snakehead pointed to a small wooden building at the port. Hanging on the door of the store was a heavy-looking whale harpoon with a broken tooth, which stood out among the monotonous buildings.

"Sailors love to go to this kind of place, so be careful when dining with children."

The snakehead rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "I'll go talk to Captain Basque first. You can go sit in the tavern first... I feel that the weather today is a little colder than yesterday."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Adele took the suitcase from the smuggler and curtseyed politely.

"You've adapted to the role quite well."

Looking at Adele, Vinata couldn't help but tease her.

"Would you please shut up? If I lose control because of embarrassment, you'll be the first one to be killed."

Adele rolled her eyes at her.

"Okay, okay, let's get down to business."

When Vinata saw Adele's expression, she seemed to have satisfied her evil taste, so she shut up decisively and changed the subject.

"Have you thought about the reason for us to go to Feysac? This kind of captain must have a military background, especially in a place like Constanton City that once had a large-scale garrison. A captain without a backer may not even be able to keep his own ship."

"Don't worry, Gegelan has already prepared new identities for us."

Adele pulled out two identification documents from her robe pocket. "Originally, when I left Backlund, I wanted to give you this to familiarize yourself with in advance so that you could prepare for possible inspections when leaving the city, but I didn't expect that Gegran would use his extraordinary power to send us out in the end. The train tickets to Constanton City were also black tickets that could be purchased without identification, so I only remembered it now."

"I think you really should use that bracelet less... At least for now, its impact on your memory is real."

Vinata gave Adele a reproachful look, then took her ID and studied it carefully.

"By the way, this time I am a single mother who is visiting my hometown in Feysac with my child, and you are my bodyguard and nanny hired by me for five pounds. Considering the price described in your employment contract, please act more like a rookie."

Adele took out a pile of documents that Gaglan had prepared for her and started looking through them.

"Why emphasize price and capability? I doubt you do it on purpose."

Vinata reached out to pinch Adele's waist in dissatisfaction.

"Pay attention to your status. You are my bodyguard and Sophie's nanny now. Don't be so rude." Adele deliberately frowned and reached out to push away Vinata's hand. "Now help your employer with the luggage. I'm going to take Sophie to the restaurant for dinner."

"Tsk, a bad man who uses a child as a shield... no, a bad woman."

Venata smacked her lips and took the package from Adele. But she soon noticed something and asked Adele:
"What about Sophie? Does she have a fake identity?"

"We are the ones with the problem. Why give her a fake identity?" Adele replied in a low voice. "She is not even old enough to apply for an identity card. Even if you give her a fake identity and let her play the role, there is a possibility that something may go wrong. It is better to leave her like this."

After that, Adele squatted down and helped Sophie straighten her scarf. At the same time, she said to Sophie, "When the captain asks you questions later, just answer them truthfully. Except for calling me mom in front of the captain, you can call me sister Venata as usual. Do you understand?"

Sophie nodded, but seemed a little uncomfortable with Altaïr's transformation into a woman.

"Seriously, why didn't Gagran let me play the mother? Look, little Sophie is having a hard time with it."

Vinata complained on the side.

"Just think of it as a privilege of the sect." Adele stood up and took Sophie's hand and walked towards the restaurant. "Besides, it sounds like you would play the role of a wealthy merchant's widow with an annual income of more than 300 pounds."

"Although I can understand that you are mocking me for being inexperienced, where does your pride in being good at playing the role of a widow come from when you were still a man a week ago?"

Vinata picked up the suitcase and followed Adele.

"Shut up. If you keep talking nonsense, you won't get any of the fried whale meat later."

"Good good..."

The two walked into the Harpoon Restaurant while whispering to each other so that only the other party could hear them.

This is a very typical sailors' restaurant, and the decoration style is very close to the style that fishermen like.

The restaurant has three floors. The middle of the second floor is completely hollowed out. In addition to a circle of seats near the window, there is also a huge whale skull built on the wall of the second floor. The cavity at the bottom of the skull was blocked by the owner, and tables and chairs were placed in the middle, and a small private room was carved out.

Looking at the whale bones on the wall, even though Adele had never seen a whale before, she could imagine how huge it must have looked when it was alive. Along the way, fishermen on both sides of the road would occasionally place a few whale bones in their yards, but none of them were as huge as the one in the Harpoon Restaurant.

It was at least three meters tall and more than twenty meters long when it was alive... I really don't know how those whalers caught it with pneumatic mandrels.

While Adele was still in a daze, a waiter came to greet her.

"Watching Leviathan, ma'am?"

A waiter wearing a white waiter's uniform and a blue handkerchief around his head came over and greeted us.

"Leviathan?"

Adele was appropriately surprised.

"It's the name of the whale. It's named after the monster in the Lord of Storms' doctrine... You know, most of the fishermen on the coast believe in the 'Lord of Storms'. Even in Feysac and Intis, where other religions are not allowed to exist, there are many fishermen who secretly believe in this great existence."

"His miracles are indeed shocking." Adele casually brought up the topic of faith. After all, the faith they were dealing with was too complicated, especially for her who secretly believed in an ancient god.

If Sophie, a devout Storm believer, knew about this, my status in her heart would probably decline...

Adele thought guiltily.

"Uncle, how did you catch such a big whale?"

Sophie asked the waiter with a curious look on her face. Her innocent look and her cute face made it hard for people to refuse her request, even ignoring her dark green hair and ruby ​​eyes that had turned into dark green due to the coming of the devil.

"Ah, actually, we didn't catch this whale. It beached itself on the shore decades ago. It seemed to be trying to push another smaller whale back. I was still young at that time, so I didn't understand much."

The waiter sighed, "Perhaps in its heart, this matter has a more important meaning."
