Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 233 Going to sea again
The next day, Adele got up early and began to check the configuration of her weapons.

Prior to this, she had ordered her men to re-arm the sailors of the Little Charger with the Esco family's reserves, and also prepared two assassin potions from the family's inventory and gave them to the Little Charger's boatswain and first mate as rewards.

Considering that if anything happened during this voyage, she would be the strongest fighter on the entire ironclad ship, Adele did not dare to slack off at all and armed herself to the teeth with all kinds of magical items.

The main weapon is still the "Blood Picker" blessed by the gods. The penetration enhanced by the gods' blessing is enough to pierce the defense of the "Guardian". However, since this sword has no other effect except for the enhanced assassination, it is now somewhat unable to keep up with Adele's strength improvement.

After all, the lethality of black fire and ice spears is enough for opponents of the same level. If there is a master of Sequence 5, the wound caused by the stabbing sword is too small, and the opponent will not stand still and let you stab him.

On her left hand Adele wore the "Spirit Controlling Bracelet" seized from Father Matafari. In her purse were twelve bullets each of the three types of bullets: exorcism, purification, and demon hunting, as well as the "Heart Stealer Lip Gloss", and a silenced revolver that originally belonged to the unfortunate assassin under Gagran's command.

Then, Adele took a quick look at her appearance in the mirror in the dim light from the window.

A white shirt, a black vest, and a black long skirt without a crinoline were common women's travel clothes in this era. A small purse of the same color was slung across her waist. Four wands made of oak, silver, and amethyst were fixed with special buckles on the lining of the vest, and the hidden pockets contained a few remaining talismans.

After confirming that everything was correct, she walked to Sophie's bed, gently kissed her daughter's forehead, and then nodded to Vinata beside her.

"Come back soon." Vinata waved her hand and said softly, "Also, I want some too."

"Ah."

Adele nodded, walked in front of Venata, and held her face with both hands.

After a few breathless seconds passed and the tiny sound of water disappeared, Adele let go of her hands and let Vinata's eyes return to normal size in her field of vision.

Then, Adele put on the small lady's soft hat on her head and pulled the fastening straps down to her neck. Then, she picked up the suitcase that only contained a change of clothes and a few daily necessities and quietly opened the door.

"I am leaving."

"Bon Voyage."

The door closed silently, and Adele walked out of the Esco family's building in silence.

The gangster's carriage was parked at the gate. A warm yellow light shone through the carriage glass. Wendy was already waiting for her inside.

Adele opened the door and got into the carriage, sitting down opposite Wendy.

Miss Peromoncia was also wearing casual clothes that were easy to move around in. The combination of an Intis-style high-collared plaid windbreaker and a deerstalker hat made people unconsciously ignore her gender. In her hand, she held a long bread wrapped in a napkin, which contained black pepper sausage, cabbage, and a bunch of things that Adele couldn't tell what they were.

"Now that you're here, do you want to eat something?"

When Wendy saw Adele get in the car, she seemed to remember something and took out another piece of steaming bread next to her seat. "I asked your chef to make it. We'll have to eat seafood for a long time this time."

As she spoke, she took another bite of the breaded sausage in her hand, and a drop of hot sauce dripped from the other end and landed on Adele's suitcase.

Adele felt her fist harden.

……

About twenty minutes later, the two arrived at the port.

The towering warship, gleaming with metallic light, stayed there, making the surrounding ships look like newborn dwarves surrounding a giant.

A new flag was hung on the ironclad's watchtower, with a rather freehand outline of a honeysuckle bush surrounding a spire crown. It was the flag designed by Adele in combination with the honeysuckle emblem of the Esco family, and the Little Warhorse had a new name from then on.

"The 'Honeysuckle Queen'..."

Wendy looked at the ironclad ship floating on the dark blue sea with some emotion, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only repeat the new name of the ship, then shook her head and walked up the lowered gangway with Adele.

Before stepping onto the last step, Adele looked back.

She saw the rising sun, the small building of the Esco family, and the entire Indo Port waking up.

Then she stepped forward and stepped steadily onto the deck of the Honeysuckle Queen.

Wagner had been waiting on the deck. When he saw Adele and Wendy coming on board, he excitedly punched his left chest with his right fist and bowed deeply to them.

"Good morning, Captain! The Honeysuckle Queen is ready to sail at any time!"

"And the Chief Engineer."

Adele suppressed her laughter and indicated that Wendy was right beside her.

"Oh, and the Chief Engineer."

Wagner touched the back of his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Captain, shall we go directly into the North Sea Passage?"

Adele thought about it for a moment and shook her head.

"No, let's go back to Constance first. I need to spend some time there to hand over the formalities."

Adele was referring to the handover matters on the Rune side. Although she had contacted the relevant personnel that Miss Hall had sent to Constance in advance via telegram during this period to let them establish a basic framework for a company, there were still many procedures that required her, the person in charge, to go to Constance in person to handle.

It's been so long, and if I follow the process step by step, I don't know how long it will take before it's my turn... But fortunately, these problems can be solved with money.

During the time she worked for Miss Audrey, Adele was gradually influenced by her concept of money and began to think that problems that could be solved with money were not a big deal.

"Your will be obeyed."

Wagner saluted in response and trotted to the control room.

Then, the engine of the Honeysuckle Queen started, and steam roared and poured into the half-open intake valve. The long horizontal pistons rose and fell one after another, making a ping-pong sound, pushing the rocker of the main shaft. The propeller blades continued to beat the sea water and continued to accelerate.

The steel-forged ship drew a long arc on the sea surface of Indor Port, sailing eastward along the whaling route, leaving the noisy scene of Indor Port far behind.

"Let's go to the captain's room to rest for a while and have a cup of hot beef..." Adele was halfway through her words when she suddenly remembered something and forced herself to change her words: "Have a cup of hot coffee to warm yourself up."
