Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 185 Because of Duo
woo-

The whistle of the "Little War Horse" spread throughout the bustling port, and some broken metal hulls came to a steady stop in the buffer zone on the port shore.

Adele, wearing a black women's long dress and a white linen scarf around her neck, walked down the gangway and stepped steadily onto the ground of Indor Port, the second largest port city in Feysac.

Indo Port is the gateway to the east of Feysac, a port city second only to the capital Saint Miron. It has been an important and busy port in the east of Feysac since the Fifth Epoch, and is the link between Feysac and Loen and Intis.

Like Feynaport, Feysac only officially allowed one religion, the God of War Sect, but Indoport was the only city in Feysac that allowed pagans to legally survive. Therefore, even though it was only an hour's steam train ride away from Feysac's capital, Saint Miron, Adele and the others could not leave.

Adele looked around and saw the sea and sky connected in the distance, the scenery was very beautiful. At the port, the tall Feysac porters saw the ship coming in and rushed towards the ship like sharks smelling blood. Their height was generally over 1.8 meters. Even Anne, who was famous for her stature, was dwarfed by these porters.

Adele held Sophie carefully in her arms to prevent her from getting lost at the dock. She had just asked Mr. Sun through the gray fog and got the answer that he was on his way and would arrive at the port tonight.

"We have to find a hotel to rest first. The fleet will stay in Feysac for a month to sell the processed whale oil. We can only sell the semi-finished whale to local merchants at a low price."

Vinata handed the luggage to a porter who was over two meters tall. The porter swiftly carried the luggage of five people on his shoulders and walked towards the place Vinata pointed out.

"That's the hotel I stayed in before. The conditions are pretty good. At least the room is well soundproofed, so I won't be disturbed by those guys playing cards in the room in the middle of the night."

Vinata and a few others explained.

Wendy took out the brass pocket watch hanging on her chest, checked the time, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, we weren't too late. I still had time to get back to the hotel and finish the rest of my report..."

Adele and the others were used to her behavior and ignored her.

Wendy had been particularly anxious since she settled down, worried that the sailing in those days would delay the progress of her report. Recently, she seemed to have developed a habit of checking her watch regularly. Even though the Beyonder's sense of time was very accurate, she would nervously check her watch from time to time, as if to confirm how long she had left before the deadline for her paper.

"I've told you many times, Miss Wendy, we are already much earlier than scheduled, you don't need to worry so much about your paper..."

While Adele was gently comforting Wendy, she and Sophie deftly turned around and quietly dodged a hand that was reaching for her purse, leaving its owner empty-handed.

However, the owner of the hand failed to succeed, and instead became more aggressive. When he saw that the crowds were not so dense, he grabbed Adele's purse without any concealment, and actually wanted to rob her. The porter who was carrying five people's luggage saw this, not only did not come up to help, but he threw down four people's luggage, picked up the most expensive package and ran away.

Just as Adele was considering whether to maintain her persona or just hit him with the butt of a rifle, Anne beside her also noticed the blind guy. She took a step back, stretched out her big hands like iron clamps to grasp the robber's outstretched hand, and then kicked him in the crotch before he could react.

The robber fell to the ground with a scream, covering his injured part and rolling back and forth. Looking at him, although Adele knew that she would not have similar troubles anymore, she still subconsciously felt a chill under her body.

At the same time, Vinata also left Wendy behind and rushed out like an arrow, nimbly passing through the crowd and catching up with the porter in a few flashes. Then she leaped into the air and kneeled the porter in the face when he heard the sound and turned around to observe. At the same time, she reached back and grabbed the package before it fell to the ground.

Wendy was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Annie and Vinata had already started. She had nothing to do, so she had to start picking up the luggage that had fallen on the ground. However, just as she started picking up her belongings, she suddenly found that her half-written paper had fallen out of her bag and landed in a puddle on the side of the road. The handwriting was already difficult to recognize.

"…Okay, now you can worry about it."

Adele looked at Wendy with pity as she held up the muddy paper with lifeless eyes, trying to make out the words.

Then, the female engineer rummaged through her bag expressionlessly, and finally took out a wrench. She staggered towards the porter, muttering something.

Adele seriously considered whether she should go up to stop it or to help, but she couldn't get an accurate answer, so she had to cover Sophie's eyes.

"...Children should not watch this."

A moment later, when the police at the dock came running over shouting, Miss Wendy had already been pulled away by Vinata, and the porter and the pickpocket were placed side by side on the ground by Anne. Both of them had bruised faces and bleeding heads, and had fainted.

The policeman glanced at the people on the ground without any surprise, waved to Adele and the others and said, "Okay, okay, you can go back. We will take care of these people."

"Is it that simple?" Adele looked at the police in disbelief as they carried the two unconscious guys onto the cargo truck at the dock. "Don't we need to go to the police station to give a statement?"

"It's really not necessary." Vinata explained on the side, "In Feysac, especially in the mixed Indo Port, the police don't want to cause trouble for themselves, so the law enforcement links and many procedures have been simplified. The two guys just now looked like people from the plateau. When outsiders conflict with outsiders here, the police usually follow the principle of whoever wins is right. If they win, they will go unpunished, and if they lose, they will not only be injured but also have to stay in jail."

"It sounds a bit barbaric, but it's very Feysac."

Adele shrugged and watched Wendy rush into the hotel that Vinata mentioned with her luggage. Even outside the door, she could hear her asking the boss if there was a quiet room where she could write her thesis in peace.

"It's a nice welcome ceremony for a witch... But it may not be so for Miss Wendy."
