Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 310 The Snow Wind will protect everyone! (Please subscribe to )

The routine inquiry did not take much time. After a few minutes, Adele rubbed her forehead gently and adjusted her body slightly to make herself sit more comfortably.

Humphrey is a Sequence 7 "interrogator" who can exert mental pressure on the other party and force them to reveal the truth.

However, this method was not very effective when dealing with Beyonders with higher Sequences than himself. Moreover, this was just a routine inspection, and using too rough means would inevitably cause disgust on the other side, so he told Adele in advance not to resist.

Even so, after just a few minutes of review, Adele still felt dizzy, as if she was forced to read a professional book of millions of words, and her temples were throbbing with pain.

Of course, if Adele resisted, it would be Humphrey who would be uncomfortable, but there was no need.

"No problem. I will record it according to this dictation."

Danlin Evans, with a serious expression, poked the white paper covered with words in his hand on the table, then nodded to William.

"Okay, then Miss Sersi, you can leave now. Of course, you can also rest here for a while. It's your freedom."

William Morales found a chair and sat down with a relaxed look, making a dangerous creaking sound.

"I'll go home and pack up today, and will soon meet you at the Navy Headquarters." Constantine's expression was frivolous but also a little serious. "Miss Circe, you should also prepare as soon as possible. Sister Vespe said when she came back that the fighting on the front line is very intense. In order to prevent a backlash, you won't have a few days of leisure."

"No problem." Adele nodded, and at the same time she was very grateful that she had been able to relax a little today. At least, her time for walking outside the city was completely her own.

Temporary wartime mobile teams like Adele and Tracy never had any fixed holidays and were always on call. Although Constantine said it seemed like there was still some time, Adele estimated that her fleet would have to set off in two days at most.

It was obviously impossible to repair the Honeysuckle Queen in such a short time by normal means, let alone modify and enhance its performance. Adele estimated that this maintenance might involve supernatural factors to a certain extent, and the Honeysuckle Queen might become an ironclad ship modified by supernatural power.

"By the way, the original name of your ironclad ship was the Honeysuckle Queen, right?"

Just as Adele was about to get up and leave, Constantine seemed to remember something and shouted to Adele from behind.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Adele looked back in confusion.

"Although it may not be appropriate for me to relay this, the repair craftsman of the Kingdom's military sent a telegram saying that this naming method does not conform to the Kingdom's fleet regulations and needs to be renamed."

There was a hint of apology on Constantine's face. After all, in this era, naming a ship was mostly the captain's job. Changing the name of a ship casually was an offense to the captain.

Adele frowned slightly, but she quickly suppressed the emotion and asked Constantine: "So, what was the name of my ship changed to?"

"It seems to be called... Snow Wind?"

……

Indo Port.

While Adele was still struggling with the naming of the ironclad ship, Vinata, thousands of miles away, was having dinner in the Esco family's restaurant.

The Indo Port in the west of Feysac and the Berens Port in the northeast of East Balam are only one time zone apart, and now is the time for dinner.

However, the Feysac War God Church seems to be undergoing a reorganization recently. The extraordinary people who were originally in charge of some areas are also facing rotation and layoffs, and the security of these areas has been thrown to the gangs. As a result, the restaurant that should have been bustling is deserted. There are only a few idle people such as Vinata and Annie, and everyone else is at their posts.

So, Vinata simply asked the kitchen to take out the copper pot that Wendy had made before, and cooked hot pot according to the method she had told Adele and the others.

Even though it was already the end of winter, the temperature in the area west of the Sea of ​​​​Intervals and along the coast of Feysac was still extremely low. The wind seemed to carry tiny ice chips, which formed a salty and cold feeling on the face.

Just as Vinata threw the cut beef into the copper pot, Azik Eggers, wearing a thick woolen sweater, came down from upstairs with a stack of documents in his hand.

As he walked downstairs, he slowly wet his index finger with his saliva and turned the pages of the reports with different handwritings one by one, his expression changing from time to time.

"How's the work going?" Vinata raised her voice slightly and gestured to Azik.

Hearing Vinata's shout, Azk raised his head blankly and glanced around, then saw Vinata sitting at the round table in the restaurant, waving her arms slightly at him. He politely agreed, tucked the document skillfully under his armpit, subconsciously pushed up his non-existent glasses, and walked towards Vinata with steady steps.

"It's a good thing that you're here too. Do you want to eat together?" Vinata greeted warmly.

As a mountain dweller of Feysac, Vinata was more accustomed to doing things in a straightforward manner, without too many twists and turns. This was also the reason why she was able to gain the trust of the gangsters in the shortest possible time.

During this period, she also saw the results of Azik's work. The gangsters who were originally unwilling to obey actually started to learn grammar obediently under the command of this unprepossessing middle-aged man. This was incredible to Vinata.

Vinata herself has been to college and knows how hard it is to keep from falling asleep when you don't understand what the teacher is saying. She herself even fell asleep in half of her classes, and she was able to pass them only because of her comprehension and the final cram school.

It seems that this instructor is really good at what he does. At least he can scare those lawless guys...

At first, Vinata was a little worried and secretly took a look outside the security team's lounge. She found that as long as Azik Eggers looked in the direction of the troublemaker, the person would immediately huddle up as if a basin of cold water was poured over him from head to toe in the middle of winter, and would never dare to make trouble or be distracted again.

Is it true that there is such a thing as the authority of an old teacher? If he is so capable, why hasn't he become a full professor, or even an associate professor, but just an ordinary teacher?

Considering that he had given up his career and came to the distant Feysac, even though he said his purpose was to "fish for seals," Venata was inclined to understand this as Azik Eggers's personal excuse.

In Vinata's eyes, Azik's image has become that of a serious and somewhat inhumane academic madman who devoted himself to academics but was suppressed and excluded by the academic clique and could not be promoted, and finally had to run away to live in seclusion abroad. However, Azik has been quite humble and polite during this period, which makes her doubt whether her guess is correct.

"Thank you for your invitation, but I have a report from a group of security guards to deal with. I wanted to read it while eating, but..."

Azik nodded to Vinata, Annie and others at the table, and unsurprisingly found that Sophie's eyes dodged for a moment, then returned to normal.

"But the food you guys eat obviously doesn't leave me with a hand free to handle my business."

He also hid himself... It seems that his strength was damaged more seriously than mine. At least I still have the strength to match the angel's status, but He seems to have only retained his status...

Azik gave a regretful smile and tried to decline.

"It's okay to relax once in a while. Let's not talk about work today." Vinata patted the seat next to her carelessly.

However, your daughter doesn't seem to be indifferent...

Azik smiled helplessly, put the file in his hand aside, and sat down next to Vinata.

After a few days of contact, he found that his new boss never gave people the opportunity to object in similar matters. His intuition told him that for the sake of his ordinary life in the future, it would be better for him to cooperate with her now.

"I wanted to spread this message to the whole family, but unfortunately they are all on guard outside recently."

Vinata put the cooked meat slices into Sophie's bowl and asked Azik with concern, "How is the situation with the security team these two days?"

Aren't you still asking about work? Azik didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt that his boss's wife was simply unreliable to a certain extent.

"With the addition of grammar training, they are even busier than before." But since the other party asked, Azik had to answer, "But it seems that they are still very motivated."

On Azik's first day as the security captain, the security team members who were originally gang members were not very impressed with this parachuted captain, so the attendance rate was less than half during Azik's scheduled class time.

Then, the other half enjoyed the thoughtful wake-up service from Azik (the undead creatures). Until now, whenever they are looked at by Azik, they will remember the feeling of suffocation at that time and be forced to work harder.

Of course, Azik couldn't tell Vinata the specific details, so he just reported the situation in general terms.

"But compared to these, I still care more about their reports."

Since Vinata couldn't control her mouth, Azk simply didn't care anymore. He scooped up some vegetables with a long-handled spoon, and at the same time, he nimbly used his other hand to rummage through the pile of documents and pulled out a report full of words.

"Here, you can take a look for yourself." Azik handed over the report. "There are more and more reports like this recently."

"There are so many typos, and the handwriting is so ugly..."

Vinata took it and glanced at it, then frowned. She held the report farther away with some disgust, squinted her eyes, and tried to guess what the scribbled words on the report meant.

"After all, you've only let me teach them for less than two days. Given their personalities, if they're willing to sit down and write reports honestly, that's a lot of progress."

Azik shrugged in a manner that was not appropriate for his position. Although he had only been in office for two days, he quickly learned some of the body language of the Feysac people here and integrated into the environment faster than Venata had imagined.

"I can't just pour knowledge into their heads...Okay, you should read the content first."

Although I can certainly pour knowledge into it...

Azik sighed, muttering to himself.

Vinata patiently read line by line, but as she read further, her expression became more and more solemn.

After reading to the end, she let out a long breath, pointed to a symbol that took up half of the entire paper and asked Azik Eggers: "Did you really find this symbol in the home of the suspect in the recent case?"

"There are also variant symbols based on the Elvish language. A new rune system is constructed through Elvish words with complex meanings, including many obvious mystical images such as 'stranger', 'fallen', and 'summoning from the outside world'. However, its foundation is indeed this symbol."

Although few people in the ordinary world use such extraordinary languages ​​as Ancient Feysac and Elvish, many universities in Loen offer similar courses. Therefore, Venata was not surprised that Azik knew these introductory knowledge of the mysticism.

Azik nodded. He had read the report several times and confirmed that the contents were correct.

"Does it look familiar to you?" Azik took the opportunity to swallow the food in his mouth and stretched out his hand to Vinata, motioning her to return the report to him first.

After Venata did as she asked, Azik put down the chopsticks that had tormented him for a long time and that he still didn't know how to use, and gently stroked several lines of the pattern with his index finger.

"Flip these lines outwards and remove the trapezoidal pattern in the middle. What do you think of?"

Azik looked at Vinata meaningfully. The other frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped her thigh and exclaimed.

"Is it the holy emblem of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom?"

In fact, the person who is most familiar with this pattern should be Adele, because this pattern is exactly the same as the one in Rayleigh's house. As long as you stand at the angle of the door, fold the holy emblem pattern drawn on the five sides, and then draw it in the form of a three-dimensional picture, you will get the pattern drawn on the white paper.

"There have been six missing persons cases this week. Although we are only handling two of them, this symbol was found in both of them."

Azik replied, "I have asked someone with no criminal record to contact the Church of the God of War, and I have also inquired through the local police station. I am currently waiting for their response."

If similar symbols are found at the scenes of several other disappearance cases, then it can be confirmed that an organization employed by the Church of Knowledge, or an organization that believes in the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, is planning something.

"Really...why do some people always take peace so lightly?"

Vinata growled angrily, then turned to Azik, "Do you need new manpower? During this period, make this matter a priority and make sure you investigate it thoroughly."

"I'll try my best." Azik nodded gracefully and continued to eat.

(I rushed to read it two days ago, and the average subscription reached 505, but it plummeted again in the past two days. I hope everyone will catch up in the next two days at the end of the month. If I fail to reach full attendance because of just one or two average subscriptions, I will be very upset.)
