Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 387 Iceberg
Looking at these terrified poor people, Vinata found it difficult to give orders calmly like a true superior.

She first evacuated everyone, then stepped into the room, stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers, and the rope that hung Mosley's body on the beam was burned off, and Mosley fell to the ground with a "thump".

Vinata walked up to him, pinched his exposed skin, reached out to stroke Mosley's sparse hair, and tapped his knee lightly with her fist.

"His muscles started to stiffen, his hair stood on end, and his muscles were cramping. His body temperature was still somewhat retained. It looked like he had been dead for less than four hours."

Vinata made her judgment based on past experience, while Azik stood behind her and recorded her findings.

As an angel of the path of death, Azik could see much more than Venata, but he thought it was unnecessary to expose himself for such a thing.
Anyway, nearly four hours had passed, and the spirit of Mosley, an ordinary man, had long dissipated. If Azik wanted to communicate with spirits again, he would have to communicate with the underworld.

Moreover, so much time has passed, the other party has enough time to completely destroy Mosley's soul and prevent him from entering the underworld. In that case, even Azik will be helpless.

As for the rest, Azik can see it, and experienced forensic doctors can see it too, so there is no need to do it personally.

Azik thought as he watched Venata continue her preliminary inspection, searching every corner of the room.

At this time, Azik was finally able to get close to the corpse, and gently closed the other's eyelids while Venata was not paying attention.

As his hand left Mosley's eyelids, faint spiritual light emanated from his body. The light was so faint that only Azik could see it.

That was the remaining spirit of Mosley. The murderer had indeed dealt with it. Most of Mosley's spirit was devoured, leaving only a small amount. It was unable to return to the underworld, and could only rely on the uncorrupted body to survive for a period of time, and then become a zombie.

However, after being dealt with by Azik, those remaining spiritualities were not enough to accomplish all of this, and scattered information flashed through Azik's mind, which were images attached to those remaining spiritualities.

In the picture, Azik saw a middle-aged man with a pale face, his face was as pale as a corpse that had just begun to rot. Mosley just looked at him, and the picture in his memory shattered and disappeared.

Living at the seaside during this period of time gave Azik a preliminary memory of the major pirates and bounties on the sea. He quickly recognized the middle-aged man in the broken memory based on the portrait on the bounty warrant.

He was one of the four existing kings, a notorious pirate known as the "Immortal King" Agaritu. His bounty in Loen alone was 100,000 gold pounds!
This doesn't seem like a 'devil's' trick, but more like a prisoner from an adjacent path...

Azik frowned. Even someone as powerful as the Archon of Death could not tell which path of demigod Agaritu was from. After all, there was too little information about him.

However, no matter what level he has reached now, he can't make any waves in front of the "Death Archon"...

The doubtful thoughts only flashed through his mind before Azik dismissed them. These were not things the angel needed to worry about. Now he was thinking wildly that if Agaritu was really a demigod of the demonic path, his enhanced sense of danger would most likely make him aware of his existence and he would retreat in a hurry.

In that case, I will have to hunt down Agaritu at sea...

Azik thought of the deal he made with Cecilia. Even though it was just a verbal deal and the other party was almost getting something for nothing, as a former angel, his attitude was worth the reward.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound from the port, as if a ship was firing a cannon into the sky.

Azik and Vinata walked to the window together. The terrain here was not low, and they could overlook the entire pier from here.

What appeared in their field of vision was a sailboat that was several dozen meters long, clean and tidy, and reflected a golden color in the sun.

Compared with similar ones, it is extremely special. A main gun is arranged along the central axis, with layers of symbols and patterns on the barrel, emitting a faint but pure light.

At this time, there was a breeze blowing on the sea, blowing up the ship's flag made up of multiple gold coins from different periods, announcing its name to everyone.

The Golden Dream!

After Feysac gave up the fight for Indo Port a while ago, Vinata contacted the headquarters of the Church of Fools through Audrey, and passed the message to Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards through Danitz.

With Tracy's precedent, the originally tense atmosphere between the navy and the pirates became subtle. Pirates like the "Undead King" who did all kinds of evil were still a problem, but for a female Extraordinary like "Vice Admiral Iceberg" who was more like an adventurer than a pirate, cooperating with official forces was actually a good choice.

After all, the invention of ironclad ships did deter most pirates, and under the pressure of the increasingly powerful kingdom navy, the decline of the pirate industry was inevitable, especially for those small pirate groups other than the four kings and seven generals, which would be basically extinct within twenty years.

As for those pirate groups with demigods, although they are not too afraid of ironclad ships, for the demigods with long lives, these twenty years of decline are just a blink of an eye. Instead of enjoying the last dividends in a declining industry, it is better to change their appearance in time.

Since Duo Port is currently an unmanaged area with no official intervention, the cooperation between adventurers and multinational corporations does not sound so unacceptable.

——After all, if a human trafficker like Vice Admiral Disease can cooperate with the Kingdom, then scholars like Vice Admiral Iceberg will face even less resistance when cooperating with the Kingdom.

"It seems that we have other things to do."

Vinata complained, but there was no unhappy expression on her face.

It is true that she is a provocateur, but Vice Admiral Iceberg has come all the way to Indo Port this time. Venata knows very well that the other party is not giving face to her, but to the Church of Poseidon, or the Church of the Fool. Naturally, she will not really spoil the mood in such an occasion.

At this time, Anne also arrived at the scene with policemen in black and white uniforms and the company's guards. Vinata briefly instructed Mr. Azik, left some of the guards behind to assist him in his work, and hurried to the dock with Anne.

"Have you met 'Vice Admiral Iceberg' often? What kind of person is she?"

On the way, Winata asked Anne, who was once a pirate.

"I've seen her a few times at the Pirate Conference. She's a very bookish woman. She doesn't look like a pirate, but she looks a bit like Eggs."

Anne gestured twice and said, "She is not bad looking, although she is far from the captain, but her men are all fascinated by her."

"Her crew members were also influenced by her. They were more like bounty hunters than pirates, so the bounty on each of them was not high. For example, the first mate Blue Walls, the 'gourmet', the second mate Orpheus, the 'singer', and the third mate Johnson, 'Flower Tie', were all simple-minded guys."

"In fact, they are quite smart when they act alone, but once they follow Vice Admiral Iceberg, they immediately become a group of people sharing one brain."

Anne said sarcastically, "As for the fourth boatswain, 'Flame' Danitz, I originally thought he was as dumb as the others, but he seems to be lucky."

"According to my impression when I met them last time, 'Singer' Orpheus is a 'Notary', 'Flower Tie' Johnson is a 'Fire Thief', and 'Flame' Danitz is a 'Conspirator' like you. I just don't know if he has been promoted recently."

"You know quite a lot. Did Tracy and you tell me that?"

Vinata asked casually. At this time, the two had already arrived at the dock. Their men began to communicate with the "Golden Dream" using flag signals and arranged for it to anchor in the port. The rest of the people went to appease the defense team at the dock. The sudden appearance of the Golden Dream scared them half to death as they were stationed at the dock, and they almost opened fire in retaliation.

At this moment, bright starlight suddenly descended from the bow of the Golden Dream, condensing into a long transparent bridge, which continued to extend forward and landed in front of Pier No. 4.

"Isn't this what the 'Admiral of the Stars' likes? When did Edwina start liking to make a scene?"

Anne snorted with disdain, not impressed by such face-saving behavior.

"What do you know."

Vinata said perfunctorily and looked towards the end of the long bridge, where stood a lady wearing a linen shirt and a white silk scarf tied around her chest.

Her long brown hair was parted in the middle and tied into an exquisite knot at the back of her head, then flowed smoothly down until it was blown by the breeze.

Vinata could understand the other party's actions. After all, Vinata had promised to let her move freely in this uncontrolled area, so she naturally had to promote her pirate group appropriately and add some manpower.

The ability of the Star Admiral looks magnificent and gorgeous, and it is indeed suitable to use it as a living advertisement to promote itself. Perhaps in the eyes of some extraordinary people, such behavior is a bit too much, but most extraordinary people who don't know the inside story really buy into it.

"According to rumors, Edwina Edwards has a connection with the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and there may be a lot of cooperation behind the scenes. You should be careful when working with her."

Anne warned worriedly, but before Vinata could answer, Edwina Edwards had already stepped on the Starlight Bridge, slowly walked down from the boat, and stepped steadily onto the bluestone floor of the dock.

Behind her followed a young man wearing a white shirt, black vest and a colorful bow tie, who looked more like a clerk than a pirate, and a sturdy middle-aged man who was nearly 1 meters tall and wore a monocle.

“Flower Tie Jodson and Foodie Blue Walls.”

Anne introduced quietly behind Vinata, and at the same time, she and Vinata went to greet Edwina and her group.

"Hello, I'm Venata Searcy."

Vinata placed her hand on her chest and performed the gentleman's etiquette.

This was a habit developed in Feysac. The serious patriarchal ideology here forced women like Vinata, who held real power, to often use male etiquette when dealing with others.

"Edwina Edwards."

A smile appeared on the serious face of "Lieutenant General Iceberg", and then he nodded in response.

"You must have worked hard to come all the way from Bayam. Do you plan to stay on the ship tonight or stay at the company?"

Vinata continued to chat and talk nonsense, which was necessary for socializing.

Although the etiquette of Feysac is far less complicated than that of Loen, there are still many face-saving procedures, including the fact that two people who meet for the first time must address each other with honorifics such as "you" at the beginning, and stop using honorifics after using the second-person pronouns two or three times. For this reason, modern Feysac has 16 more cases than ancient Feysac, which can be called a linguistic nightmare. This is also one of the reasons why the illiteracy rate in Feysac is much higher than that in Loen.

Edwina was silent for a while, then responded in Loenese: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let's go to the place you have arranged."

The two of them wisely stopped communicating in Feysac, and the five of them walked together in two rows, front and back.

Anne seemed to be disgusted with "Flower Tie" Johnson and did not give him any face in her words, but Johnson was not annoyed. He chatted with Anne unilaterally with a playful smile, which made Anne so annoyed that she simply walked around to the side of "Gourmet" Blue Walls.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to be willing to wade into this muddy water."

In front, Venata and Edwina were talking, "You know the situation here. The Feysac officials have temporarily evacuated here, but they may launch a big attack at any time with the help of the backup forces hidden here."

"If there is anything, I must make it clear. Although I don't want to admit it, I need you to come here to help us stabilize the situation. You can decide what to do next based on the situation."

Vinata said frankly that when facing a smart person like Edwina, there are many attitudes and conspiracies that do not need to be hidden, and cannot be hidden. It is better to point them out directly so that both sides will have less suspicion.

"That's not something a conspirator would say." Edwina smiled.

"The best conspiracy is knowing when to use it," Venata responded bluntly, "and now, I don't think there is any need to hide it."

Edwina looked at Venata seriously, and then said:

"Don't worry, you can treat this as a simple business cooperation. We are not without desires."

She turned around, and the round-bellied fountain pen, brass holy dagger, metal bottle and other items in her pocket collided with each other, making a clinking sound.

"I am about to be promoted to a demigod, and the last step of the promotion ceremony needs to be completed in Jianhai. This is the revelation of the prophecy, you don't need to care about it."
