Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 325 Parade
There is no logic in matters of love...

Adele nodded, thinking that Natalie was indeed experienced in life. Although she had no close relationship with Vinata, she could guess Vinata's reaction.

As a girlfriend, Vinata, a straightforward Feysac mountaineer, was not an unreasonable person. She just didn't like to mix several things together.

Maybe there are indeed sufficient reasons for Adele and Natalie to act together, but for Venata, it is one thing to have your own difficulties, but it is another thing to have to do something unfair to her because of these difficulties.

In layman's terms, Venata can understand, but she will still be very angry...

Adele had a headache.

In fact, she now has some vague worries, especially after learning that Venata will change her sex after being promoted to demigod. She can't help but think about how she should face it if such a thing really happens.

If they were both ordinary people, then what happened would happen, and there would always be a way to make do with it. After all, in this era, it is a luxury for ordinary people to just stay alive, so who would have the time to care about these little things?
Ordinary couples may have some disagreements, but they can get over it by making do with each other. In Loen, many couples only met once at the coming-of-age dance and got married under the urging of their families. There are definitely many couples who are incompatible in spirit but not in harmony.

However, there is still a huge gap between ordinary people and extraordinary people. The risk of losing control is like a sharp blade, always hanging over the head of every extraordinary person.

There are many conditions that can lead to loss of control, among which the mentality of the Beyonder is a crucial factor. If an Beyonder has a knot in his heart that is difficult to untie for a long time, it will definitely affect his digestion of magic potions and subsequent promotion.

Apart from the members of the Rose School of Temperance, whose role-playing requirements include restraining desires and rational restraint, the vast majority of Extraordinary People will prioritize their own material needs and spiritual enjoyment, and are more self-centered than ordinary people. This is actually a manifestation of Extraordinary People's resistance to loss of control.

Consiso, a pragmatic philosopher of the Church of the Storm, once said, "All generosity and tolerance are because the chips given up have no direct correlation with the bottom line." This applies to ordinary people as well as extraordinary people.

The tolerance and retreat of the Beyonder will directly affect the mental state, and the mental state and the risk of losing control are inextricably linked. This is also an important reason why many wild Beyonders, although they appear to be humble and restrained on the surface, will always show off their extraordinary qualities when they really have the opportunity.

The problem that Adele and Vinata face is the same. Ultimately, it is caused by the conflict between the way of acting required by the potion and universal moral concepts.

This is true for Adele and Vinata, Sophie, and all other Beyonders of the “Prisoner,” “Criminal,” “Witch,” and “Hunter” paths.

The balance between the two is difficult to find, but if this balance cannot be found, this problem will continue to bother both of them and even become a new hidden danger.

"You're right, I'll go talk to her... Hopefully, this trip will be over soon."

Adele nodded and handed back the stockings that Natalie had worn and were scattered at her feet.

"Well, that's what I hope for... Also, during this time, if you need to continue digesting the potion, you can always come to me."

Natalie stretched lazily. "Don't worry, you won't have to let Leila sit in on the class anymore, and you don't have to be so tense... You were too nervous last night, and your muscles were so stiff. I was afraid that I would dislocate your joints at first."

"I won't do that next time..." Adele showed an embarrassed look on her face and quickly said goodbye and left, asking Natalie to change her clothes and get ready to get up.

Although there is not much difference between once and many times in Vinata's eyes, it is better not to have a next time...

Standing in the empty corridor, Adele yawned tiredly and thought to herself.

Of course, she was just thinking about it. For a suspicious pirate general like Tracy, just one night of pleasure could not make her completely trust him. She might have to find time to do it two or three more times.

However, it is not a solution to let Tracy always watch from the sidelines...

Thinking of this, Adele frowned unconsciously. Halfway through her work last night, with her heightened inspiration, she was able to sense that someone next door was spying on the room through magical means.

The spiritual wall that Natalie had set up sealed the two rooms into a whole, but it did not isolate them from each other, making magical spying possible.

However, despite this, Adele was only vaguely aware of it with the help of the aftereffects of the potion and the inspiration rising with her sexual desire. Even Natalie probably didn't know that Tracy was in the next room.

It seems that I have to find a way to catch her once, and then use this opportunity to teach her a lesson so that she will never spy on me again... In this way, in the future, as long as I stay at Natalie's place for one night under Tracy's nose, even if I do nothing, I can get away with it.

Adele gradually came up with an idea and was about to clench her fist and hit her palm to show that the problem was solved, when a strange idea suddenly emerged in her mind.

Why does it feel a bit like signing in at a factory... Adele complained in her heart.

This is a sign-in for an affair... Oh no, it's a sign-in for acting?

……

At the same time, in Indo Port, Vinata was standing in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scene on the street outside the window.

At this time of winter in previous years, there were not many pedestrians on the streets.

In Feysac, which is located at a higher latitude, even though it is already February, the average daytime temperature has barely reached zero degrees. No one will go out in such weather and waste energy. Even factory owners have to stop work before March to prevent a large-scale flu and equipment damage due to low temperature operation.

However, at this moment, the square facing the honeysuckle family emblem of the Esco family was crowded with people. A group of pale-looking people were wrapped in crudely cut winter clothes, huddled together in the cold wind with fanatical expressions.

Ever since Emperor Roselle invented the word "parade", the originally unorganized and undisciplined protests have had a rough outline. This is especially evident in Intis and Feysac, where people often march for various reasons. Some people even regard organizing and participating in parades as a pastime in their lives.

The Esco family's square was just a stop on the parade route. The people of Feysac were not here because they had any complaints against the Esco family. In fact, many of them didn't know who they should complain about. It was just because this was the only place that could accommodate a team of this size.

The guards of the Esco family were obviously very experienced in dealing with parades. They did not directly conflict with these energetic guys. Instead, they tacitly closed the gate of the courtyard and shouted from a distance to maintain order.

During this period, they changed out of their government uniforms and put on the clothes they wore when they were gang members, so as not to be mistaken for government personnel by the protesting people.

These matters had always been handled by government employees, and the methods adopted were mostly violent suppression, but it was not very effective against the straightforward Feysac people.

Now that the church is cooperating with Queen Island Shipping Co., Ltd., the former government employees are happy to have some free time and want to shirk responsibility.

But Vinata would certainly not play the bad guy and ruin her reputation. After playing the buck with government employees a few times, she easily turned the demonstrators' firepower to the government, while her own security management personnel wisely stayed out of it.

This was not because Venata was cold-blooded, but because she knew that in Feysac, where the church had completely lost its credibility and the grassroots management of the government had completely collapsed, parades could not solve any problems.

——Those who are capable and qualified to solve the problem have either died in the war or lost the trust of ordinary people. There is no way to solve the problem anymore. This is a dead end.

If local officials cannot solve the problem, then naturally the central government will have to send people.

The arrival of the royal envoy representing the Einhorn family will reshuffle the entire political world of Indor Port. The Esco family's career will be seriously affected, and its subsequent plans will be greatly affected.

Moreover, what policies would the simple-minded Feysac politicians adopt when faced with a protest group that was very likely to become a force that affected the stability of the regime?
The answer is simple. The heads that were chopped off by the guillotine during the revolution in neighboring Intis have not yet rotted away.

The unarmed (of course, this may be an exaggeration for the martial-minded Feysac people, but compared to the officials, the power of ordinary people is still too weak) people of Feysac clash with the current Feysac royal family. Could the result be a peaceful ending?
Obviously, it was impossible, and it would inevitably lead to the intervention of the church and other countries. And no matter who had the upper hand in the end, it would be a devastating blow to the believers of Feysac, no matter which god they were believers of.

The tragedy of the Intis Revolution is still vivid in people's minds. Vinata, who studied liberal arts in college, is quite familiar with that period of history.

The struggle at that time affected the entire northern continent and lasted for a full ten years. The casualties caused by it have long been impossible to count. However, according to the information revealed by Adele, it is now less than ten years away from the predicted doomsday.

In this case, whether it is the organization behind Adele or any other Orthodox church except the Church of Knowledge, would they be willing to see Feysac engage in internal strife against believers before the end of the world? It is impossible to think about it.

If the big guys didn't want to, then naturally the little guys had to help them solve the problem. And Vinata's status and identity happened to be very suitable, so she consciously took on the responsibility.

Using her talent as a "conspirator" in this area, Vinata successfully directed the anger of the people toward nothingness, and sent some gang members to infiltrate the interior of the parade, confusing its demands and dividing and disintegrating the huge parade from within.

——Yes, Venata has now been promoted to Sequence 6.
A few days ago, "Justice", who had met Vinata once, arrived at Indor Port. Not only did he bring the news that Adele was safe, he also gave Vinata the main ingredient of the potion that Adele had previously traded with the "Witch" card. Now Vinata has become a "conspirator".

Perhaps it was Venata's illusion, she always felt that this demigod who looked sacred and solemn appeared a little tired in his conversation, but reason told her that she should not continue asking.

Currently, Miss Justice is hiding in the upper floor of the Esco family's headquarters, temporarily taking over some of the family's decision-making power. According to her, this is also to more easily obtain the "information hidden beneath the surface."

Thinking that the noble lady who had entered the realm of demigod lived upstairs from her, Vinata felt like she was walking on thin ice.

She had personally witnessed the other party's methods; and the more she was promoted, the more she realized how difficult it was for "Justice" to casually give her a hint with a validity period of years.

The conspirators' schemes can also achieve similar effects of distorting the other party's intentions, but the effects usually only last for a few days, and in battle they can only last for a few minutes or even seconds.

Therefore, she had only awe for this mysterious demigod and the organization behind her, and dared not have any other thoughts.

Moreover, because of Adele, even though "Justice" did not leave a good impression on her when they first met, they still had to cooperate in the future, so she could only let it go.

In addition, there is one more important thing, which is to help Sophie complete the ceremony, remove the emotions in her heart and then put them back in. This is also what "Justice" promised Adele at the meeting, and she came here for this reason.

Vinata subconsciously shifted her gaze away from those skinny, pale-faced people, many of whom were disabled, and looked at the placards in their hands, which stated their demands.

Under the deliberate control of the gang members under Venata, the members of the march have been very restrained so far. The conflicts have only been limited to cursing and pushing each other. Occasionally, someone will throw an opened can of wolffish into the government wall, and the employees inside will retaliate with their stock.

- Well, compared with the previous parades where people would pull out guns and shoot at each other, or throw Molotov cocktails, the current parades have made a qualitative leap in terms of civilization.

Although Vinata tried her best to divide and disintegrate them, their demands had been divided into many different teams, broken up into small groups, and then resolved through cold treatment, but the largest team at present was extremely united and it seemed that it was completely impossible to resolve it through conspiracy.

As for the reason...the pattern on the background of the sign says it all.

It was exactly the same as the symbols that appeared at the scene of the missing persons case that Vinata had learned from Azik before, and was widely used on every notice board as if it were free.

Adele could come up with a plan to absorb new anchors through non-religious organizations of a civil nature, bypassing the restrictions of the church, and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom could think of the same.

However, their purpose remains unclear until now.
