Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 424 Meet again

Adele sat on the ground. Due to the negative effects of the magical item, she did not dare to stand up, for fear that she would accidentally fall downstairs.

Beside him, the corpse of Lieutenant General Shadow had been chopped into pieces by the harvesting ability of the Ranger Rifle. Even if the ring from the Iron Cross was very effective, it would be impossible to turn a pile of rotten meat into a living person again.

In the distance, a beam of fire lit up at the bell tower where the gunshot came from. Vinata's body turned into flames and in an instant she crossed the distance of dozens of meters and came to Adele's side.

At this time, both of them were covered in mud and looked dirty. However, Vinata obviously didn't care about it. She strode to Adele and threw herself into her arms.

Adele could feel Vinata's pounding heartbeat and the warm touch from her body, which made the coldness of the rain fade away a lot.

"…Now is not the time."

However, Adele was not overwhelmed by the joy of reuniting with Venata, "Do you know where Sophie went? I didn't see her next to the Shadow Lieutenant General."

"That's why I chased after him immediately."

It was hard to tell whether Vinata looked relieved or had mixed feelings. “I found this in my room.”

As she spoke, she took out a letter from her pocket. The outer envelope had already been opened by Vinata. The handwriting on the letter was very similar to Sophie's, but the words were very different.

"Vinata and Adele:"

"Don't bother with me about honorifics. After all, if Sophie hadn't insisted on leaving something for you, I wouldn't bother to do anything like that."

"My name is Cecilia, the daughter of the Demon King. I escaped from the Mother Tree of Desire during the Matafarri Advent incident in Backlund, and hid in the body of this little girl."

"This may be the first time I have shown my presence to you two. Before this, I had been planning to regain my power and had been hiding it in her body. Only she knew of my existence."

Seeing this, Adele's heart suddenly sank, but when she saw that Vinata's expression didn't change, she continued to look down.

"I know you are anxious when you see this, but don't be anxious yet."

"I have no ill will towards this little girl. After all, you are just..."

The next small piece seemed to be blackened by someone. Adele did not see the noun behind it, but she could feel that the writer was very reluctant at the time.

"Anyway, I just want to retrieve the Death Notice that I once sent to the Northern Continent, so that I can recover a little bit of my former strength, and more importantly, get rid of the Mother Tree of Desire and my father."

"As for the demonic Beyonder characteristics in her body, that is a curse, but also a gift. It allows her to successfully become a Sequence 5 Beyonder. In your world, this may be a very powerful existence. Don't be ungrateful."

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Azik Eggers. He is a powerful angel. It seems that the title of Archon of Death is also circulated in your world."

“Azik Eggers? He is here? No, His real body is here?”

Although Audrey had told Adele about Azik before returning to the Northern Continent, Adele still broke out in a cold sweat subconsciously when she learned that Azik Eggers was in Sophie's usual circle of life.

"It's weird, right? I was also shocked just now."

Vinata sighed, "When he first came here, I thought he was just an ordinary university lecturer who was deceived by those circuses in Loen. He thought that we Feysac people all use chains to catch seals."

At this point, she suddenly remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I promised Him that after you come back, I will bring Him to settle in the northern part of Feysac, but I don't know if it still counts."

"Is there such a thing?"

Adele frowned. "Anyway, I'll still mention it to Him when the time comes."

"However, with His guarantee, what this so-called Cecilia said should be true."

Adele was now basically relaxed. "After all, He is Mr. Fool's angel. Since Cecilia is sure that He will agree, there is nothing we can do."

"It's just that He might have seen us quite a lot when we were together."

When Vinata said this, her face turned a little red, but fortunately it was covered by mud and water so it was not very obvious.

"Those things, I don't think being seen by a former angel would be any more embarrassing than being seen by Sophie."

Adele smiled in relief. She didn't really care about similar things.

"You and Tracy really did a lot of things after being away for so long."

Vinata said in a noncommittal tone, "I saw the news about you in the newspaper. If nothing else, she looks really pretty in a military uniform, unlike me now."

As she spoke, she pointed to her cheek which was covered in dirt from the explosion.

"Vinata..." Adele was stunned. She had anticipated Vinata's reaction, but when she was directly questioned by her, she didn't want to make any excuses.

"After all, you have been with a notorious witch for such a long time. It is impossible to expect me not to worry about anything. In addition, you have also been promoted to a witch of pleasure during this period. You should understand my thoughts."

Vinata had seen the "Witch" card with Adele, and knew what Sequence Six of the Witch Path was, and also knew how to play it.

Venata said frankly, "Besides, I'm not that generous."

Adele lowered her head and said nothing, just looking at Vinata quietly, waiting for her next words.

"…I am a very straightforward person, so I only have one request."

Venata also looked at Adele's face and reached out to wipe the mud off her face.

"No matter what you did over there, whether it was sailing together, exploring the ruins, or even fighting together and living together, I hope you can do it again with me."

Vinata's tone was sincere, without a trace of falsehood, which reminded Adele of the first night they lived together. The look in each other's eyes when they were talking to each other was the same as it is now, like a wild deer drinking water in the woods in the evening.

"Okay, I promise you."

Adele barely hesitated, "But before that, there's one thing I haven't done with anyone else, and I want to do it with you."

"whats the matter?"

Venata asked curiously.

Adele fumbled in her pocket and took out the ruby ​​ring she had taken from the Nebuchadnezzar. The bright red gem seemed to be burning in the continuous rain.

"I think I've always owed you a formal proposal."
