Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 165 Dark Place
In the following time, Adele and the other three stayed quietly in the room, doing their own things.

Wendy told Sophie stories about the sea. Although she was not good at chatting, that was limited to interpersonal communication. When it came to her own professional knowledge, the red-haired lady was still very talkative. Sometimes, she even behaved more like a teacher than Vinata, a teacher trainee.

Vinata sat on the bed and read the thick "Collection of Folk Tales from Jianhai County". Sophie's words just now seemed to make her a little depressed, which made Adele want to laugh.

Looking at the scene before her, Adele seemed to feel that she had returned to the days when she lived alone on Rose Street, leisurely, comfortable, and even a little idle.

After closing her eyes and enjoying a little peace, Adele sighed imperceptibly.

It was indeed a pleasure to go on like this, but the things in front of him would not finish by themselves. However, if Wendy did not leave, Adele could not be too direct and ignore Wendy's advice and go out to control the sailors.

It seems that there is nothing we can do except wait... Adele is a little depressed.

If I had known that I would have to live in the same room with a stranger, I shouldn't have pretended to be a master-servant relationship with Vinata. Now, even when I talk to her, I have to consider the relationship between the two of us. It's really boring...

After a while, Adele still couldn't think of any good excuse to leave the room, which made her a little anxious. It is true that doing nothing can make people feel comfortable, but the premise is that you must have completed all the things at hand.

I can't hypnotize everyone again, right? Adele was in a dilemma.

……

However, at this moment, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the deck, and then the "Little War Horse" shook violently.

Adele suddenly stretched out her hand to support the ground, and used her other hand to support Sophie's back to prevent her from falling. Vinata and Wendy also maintained their balance.

Vinata looked at Adele with a little surprise, and the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

Did you arrange it?

Adele shook her head slightly.

She did hint to the sailors to take action in advance, but the location she had arranged was the uninhabited island.

Her original plan was to leave Captain Basque on the island, give him some supplies, and then return to the island as a rescuer to save Captain Basque after she had taken control of the fleet through relatively legal means. However, now there were other factors that caused this turmoil...

Adele said nothing, but walked carefully to the edge of the porthole and peeked out.

At this time, the sea surface outside the porthole had completely turned into a battlefield. The one being attacked was the "Little War Horse", which had returned to the center of the fleet to deal with the whale's carcass and guard against shark attacks. The one attacking was the six passenger ships that were converted into whaling ships and originally guarded the ironclad ship like the moon surrounded by stars!

Although passenger ships were not allowed to install main guns, in this era when piracy was prevalent, almost every ocean liner was equipped with ten to twelve side secondary guns to deal with sudden robbers.

Originally, in order to launch these attacks, the ship had to be turned sideways first, which took a lot of time. However, the Warhorse was completely different. It was facing the salvos of six ships with its vulnerable flanks. Although most of the shells failed to hit without correcting the trajectory, the few that did hit caused considerable damage.

After all, the ironclad ship is not invincible, especially when there is no demigod of the "arbitrator" or "lawyer" path on board. Now it is just an ordinary ship with relatively strong armor.

Moreover, its current position was extremely dangerous. Even if it could quickly escape with its own speed advantage, it would still have to endure three to five rounds of corrected salvos before that. The Warhorse, which was not originally a type with outstanding armor, would definitely not be able to withstand the next few rounds of bombardment. At least that was what Adele saw from Wendy's pale face.

"I'm going to the engine room to put some distance between us!"

Wendy jumped up from the bed and prepared to open the door.

However, Adele and Vinata were quicker than her.

Vinata, whose bed was closer to the door, opened it first and ran up the gangway like a whirlwind; while Adele grabbed Wendy's hand and pushed the panicked Sophie into her arms.

"The engine room is not broken yet, so it's okay if we don't need you there. You just need to help me take care of Sophie, and everything else is not a problem."

Then, her body seemed to be pulled by something and flew quickly to the narrow porthole on the other side. Her body seemed to have no bones, and she flew out of the porthole in an incredible manner and came to the deck at the fastest speed. Wendy didn't even have time to ask a question, and she and Sophie were the only ones left in the room.

Seeing the little girl whose body had undergone a strange transformation last night now lying harmlessly in her arms and shivering, Wendy remained silent.

……

My divination clearly showed that the plan of this group of rebellious sailors was limited to the "Little War Horse", so why did other ships take action first?
Adele thought quickly as she pulled herself up onto the deck by her hair.

The pendulum had a strong effect on its divination ability, and it was almost impossible for this kind of divination that did not involve extraordinary factors to fail. However, the facts before her were clear and unquestionable.

What I predicted before was “Whose weapons are hidden under the engine room floor?” and “There are no Beyonders among the group of people who hid the weapons under the engine room.”

Adele was suddenly stunned. She found that there seemed to be a big loophole in her divination statement.

The rebellious sailors on the other six ships were not in the same group as Wagner, so the above two problems did not point to them. In this way, they somehow avoided the inspection of the Citrine Pendulum, the magical item bestowed by Mr. "World"!
I never expected that Captain Basque's fleet would encounter two groups of people who wanted to rob... Well, if you count me, there were actually three groups...

Adele suddenly felt a little sorry for the captain. However, the moment this thought came to her mind, she saw the flames from the mortars on the sides of several ships on the opposite side, and she felt that she was more pitiful.

"I always feel like I've been a little unlucky since I got on the boat..."

Adele sighed.

About a second later, cannons roared, and fireballs suddenly exploded on the sea between the Little Warhorse and the frigate.
