Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 294: The Vigilante Captain and the Second Dimension
"What job?" Azik asked with interest.

"The captain of the vigilante police is here to spread relevant knowledge to the residents." Vinata handed the glass to the bartender who came over at the right time. "In fact, these jobs were originally done by transformed gangsters, but they are not well educated, so they have some difficulties in doing similar work."

"Although you are a vigilante, the captain is actually a civilian position. You don't need to be very good at fighting. You just need to do clerical work and teach those former gang members grammar knowledge when they come back."

Vinata rubbed her swollen temples. "I tried to teach them myself, but they could barely keep their attention, and I gave up pretty quickly."

"I want to ask a few questions." Azik asked in a gentle but powerful voice, "What is the level of education of those gang members?"

"The level of a senior dropout from a church school." Venata replied, "He has basically no problem speaking Feysac, but he is totally unable to do other languages."

"What about your vocabulary?" Azik continued to ask.

"The highest is probably no more than 800." Vinata thought for a moment.

“How is your math level?”

"Generally, I don't understand Loen's system."

"What about history?"

"I've read the church scriptures once... that's about it."

Then, Azik asked again, and Vinata answered subconsciously. After seven or eight questions, Azik nodded, and his brows relaxed a little:
"I'm fine now. I should be able to do it."

"Oh, that's good..." Vinata nodded, suddenly feeling something was wrong.

Who is interviewing whom here?

Vinata recalled her conversation with her supervisor during her graduation thesis defense in college and felt a little amused.

Oh, forget it, it’s not a big deal to pay this one person’s salary... Vinata thought to herself.

To be honest, hiring a university professor with a weekly salary of less than ten pounds is really a good deal in Feysac. With the proliferation of extraordinary people after the war, an experienced university professor is even harder to find than an extraordinary person.

Thinking of this, Vinata said nothing more, put away the memo, turned around and left.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom upstairs, the anxious Cecilia finally received her reply.

On the ground, the dark exit connecting to the spirit world opened, and bones gushed out like a fountain, forming a tall messenger with green flames in his eye sockets.

The messenger spread out his palms and began to clumsily draw on the ground, as if he was writing something, word by word. In the process, the white bones rubbed against each other, making a crackling sound.

I will watch you.

(I used words in Feysac language. I wrote it this way just for convenience. If you insist, I will obey. The same applies to the messenger lady.)
Cecilia looked at the words on the ground that were emitting dark green spiritual flames, gritted her teeth, but could only nod. "I understand, let's go!"

After all, Cecilia's status was also not low, and the messenger was not dissatisfied with her attitude. He just bowed slightly, and then disintegrated into pieces of bones, falling back to the ground which had become dark again.

"I didn't expect that there would be a second angel here..."

Cecilia bit her nails in annoyance. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but after possessing Sophie, some of his habits seemed to be like those of a child.

"From the perspective of his path, he seems to be an angel of the 'Death' path... a descendant or successor of the Phoenix Gregory?"

Cecilia guessed. His understanding of the human world came from the memory he inherited from his father, the demon king Fabuti, when he was born. After all, he was born beside the Mother Tree of Desire and Fabuti, and had no chance to learn these things by himself.

When Fabuti fell into the hands of the Mother Tree of Desire, there was no Salinger, and there was not even a proper human empire. Cecilia naturally had no way of knowing anything about the Eggers family, and could only guess that they were descendants of Gregari.

Just then, Vinata pushed the door open and hung her scarf on the coat rack.

Seeing that the crisis was over, Cecilia returned control to Sophie.

"You seem a little scared of that gentleman," Venata asked casually. "I've never seen you like this before."

"No, I'm just meeting a college professor for the first time."

After studying with Cecilia for a while, Sophie also knew how to tell some harmless lies to conceal her identity.

"It's nothing strange. When you get into college, you'll be glad not to see them."

Vinata, who was well aware of the ways of slacking off in college, curled her lips, but did not suspect anything.

"That gentleman said he was going to the north of Feysac?" Sophie asked casually, "But it's not open yet, right?"

"So he has to work in our vigilante team for a while. When he saves enough money, he can hire Adele's ship to go to the northern part of Feysac." Venata replied.

Nonsense, you are an angel, how can you be short of money? Hypocrisy!

At the same time, Cecilia sneered at Azik's hypocrisy in her heart. However, after criticizing him, she really considered the possibility of taking out some of the money she had deposited with Wendy and sending it to him, so that he could leave as far away as possible.

Forget it. This would only arouse the other party's attention and lead to the opposite effect... Cecilia gave up the idea in frustration.

……

At the same time, in the Port of Berens on the southern continent, Adele and her companions were following Emlyn White to the logistics base in the area.

The witches in the bar stayed on the ironclad, so there were only two witches appointed as privateer captains, Adele and Tracy, who went with them. In addition, there was also Wendy, so it was a buy two get one free deal.

Since Tracy's presence had not yet been reported to his superiors, Emlyn had her temporarily wear a mask to cover her up. Although this made her more conspicuous, seeing such an action, at least she would not attack or assemble the team immediately.

"There will be an emergency meeting later. You just need to follow me and attend. You just need to do whatever I tell you to do."

Emlyn gave a casual instruction and then pushed open the door of his office. "I will come back to call you in ten minutes. You can kill some time here. It's okay to look through the documents on the table, but don't touch the dolls on the wall. There are curses on them and only I can touch them."

Cursed doll?

Adele and Tracy looked at each other and imagined in their minds what the other's office would look like, incorporating many images of terrifying wizards from folk legends.

Wendy felt more and more that the strong people in the extraordinary world really had some quirks, and she made up her mind not to touch anything after entering this time.

"Remember what I said." After Emlyn let the three of them into the room, he reminded them with concern before turning around and leaving.

However, what the three of them saw next completely shattered the image of Emlyn in their minds.

There were no evil-looking cursed dolls, no powerful and dangerous sealed objects, and not even a gun.

The room was bright and clean. There was a stack of documents on the desk against the floor-to-ceiling window, and two pots of green plants on the left and right. There was a row of cabinets on each side of the wall with transparent glass doors, and various dolls inside.

The oldest one was about the same height as Adele. She was a girl wearing a gorgeous long dress with lace and ribbons on the cuffs and collar.

This doll is obviously closer to the wax figure, with lifelike features, blonde hair, red eyes, and delicate beauty.

The smallest one was only the size of a normal person's palm. She was a woman wearing a silver full body armor and holding an exaggerated cross sword in her hand. She looked majestic and beautiful.

"So it's this type of doll. I thought it was something else." Adele just raised her eyebrows and returned to normal.

"It's a naval base after all."

Tracy, who had heard her crew members name their commonly used nail clippers Janice, did not think it was unusual and thought that they were just too bored at the naval base. After all, for a demigod with a long life, it was normal to collect all kinds of recreational items.

"I'm super, second..."

However, Adele and the other girl didn't react, but Wendy behind them couldn't hold it anymore. Fortunately, she covered her mouth in time and waved at Adele and the other girl who were looking at her in confusion.

Well, it must have been done by Rossel...

This was Wendy's first reaction when she saw the magically modified figures of Shinku and Saber in Emlyn's cupboard. This senior time traveler really did his best to improve his quality of life...

Under the influence of Roselle, the development of puppet art showed two trends: one was cute and changeable, and the other was more realistic.

Wendy walked along the row of glass cabinets and found many modified anime characters from her previous life. Since there was no oil in this world, there was no plastic technology tree, so the materials of the figures were mostly clay, and they looked closer to real people, which made Wendy feel a sense of gap.

Emperor Roselle, oh Emperor Roselle, look at what you have done. You have brought disaster upon a demigod of an outstanding supernatural race...

Wendy was so upset that she didn't know where to vent. She took out her notebook and looked through it to calm herself.

He just put his doll outside so openly, isn't he afraid of being laughed at by others... As soon as this thought flashed through Wendy's mind, she immediately had the answer, that is, Emlyn is really not afraid.

After all, demigods can do whatever they want in such trivial matters. As a member of the Church of the Earth, he is not afraid of being socially disgraced by the high-ranking officials of the Kingdom - after all, they are not in the same circle, so if they curse me behind my back, I will just pretend not to hear anything...

Second Thorny Ape, don't go too far... Ah, me too? That's fine.

Just as Miss Wendy was overwhelmed by Emlyn's collection and the time traveler Emperor Roselle who had traveled across thousands of years and demonstrated his otaku nature, Adele also found a pile of interesting documents on Emlyn's desk.

Although corruption within the Loen army was serious and had even become a topic of conversation among the people, Adele was truly shocked when she saw the account books of the army's logistics base with her own eyes.

In the past six months, the kitchen at the naval base reported 200 bottles of Olmier red wine... Did you use it to wash the pots? Moreover, if there is any report, it should be made by the front desk. What does it have to do with the kitchen?
There are many such problems. Selling a lamb for 50 pounds is already a normal operation. It is not uncommon to sell it for 1 times the market price. There is even a record of a roll of toilet paper being sold for 50 pound. The most outrageous thing Adele saw in her cursory glance was that an ordinary compass was labeled as a "multi-functional military locator for land and sea use", and the price was almost doubled by times...

The army is corrupt, the navy is more subtle, and is willing to spend time to cook the books, but the books are too careless, isn't it? Can't you see it at a glance? Unless the logistics officials have a problem with their brains, there is no way it will pass, right?
Adele couldn't help but flipping through the pages, and on the last page she actually saw Emlyn White's official seal, indicating approval.

Adele: “???”

No, can this be passed? Adele suspected that she had read it wrong, and turned back a few pages of the account book to see if there was anything she had missed.

As a result, she actually found it. Under the reimbursement instructions of the Military Medical Department, there was a reimbursement item that did not seem to have a much higher premium, which read "Human Model Teaching Aids"; and under the reimbursement column related to clothing, there was a line of detail that was obviously newly added, which read "Female Soldier Clothing".

Looking at the life-sized dolls in the cupboard, Adele felt that these ones looked more and more suspicious.

Good fellow, you are carrying something behind the scenes, right? It has to be you, Mr. Moon... Adele suddenly felt a little worried about the future of this Loen expeditionary force.

However, according to the price of that kind of doll, Mr. Moon's report did not have any premium... In other words, others were making false reports and embezzling money, while he only reported as much as he had... Perhaps, this could be considered another manifestation of honesty?

Adele told herself this as if to comfort herself, but her mind still couldn't stop wandering to random thoughts.

Tracy was obviously not as comfortable as these two. Adele and Moon Emlyn were colleagues in the same organization, so it didn't matter if they overacted. Although Wendy was a little worse, she was a law-abiding citizen after all, so it was okay for her to visit as a friend of a colleague.

But Tracy was different. Before Emlyn's notice was conveyed, she was still the infamous pirate general. If she hadn't been wearing a mask and following closely behind the demigod stationed in the naval port, she would probably have been recognized and attacked by the Beyonders in the navy on the way.

Even though the demigod promised to give me a legal identity, if I didn't behave well, it wouldn't be difficult for him to tear up the promise... Well, there was no need to even tear up the promise, since there was nothing written on the letter of guarantee...

Tracy smiled bitterly and could only sit obediently on the sofa, watching Adele and Wendy looking around in Emlyn's office.
