Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 425 Betrothal Gift
"I think I've always owed you a formal proposal."

Even when Adele was still Altaïr, he had never considered that the day he really said this would be on a battlefield filled with smoke, with corpses cut into pieces the size of jewelry boxes scattered around him and his body covered in mud.

However, whether it was her emotions, reason or spiritual intuition, she made the decision almost instantly and handed the jewel ring to Venata.

“You really know how to pick a place.”

Sure enough, Vinata glanced at the shadow lieutenant general scattered around and still bleeding, and sneered with some guilt.

"Of course, but I'm better at choosing people. Even though it's been less than half a year since we met, and we've been apart for quite a long time, I still think this is the most important and correct decision in my life, no doubt about it."

Adele took over the conversation without hesitation and grabbed Vinata's hand. "From now on, no matter if I am sick or sad, even if the future is full of difficulties and obstacles..."

She put the ring on Venata's hand and said sincerely:

“…We must also share weal and woe.”

At this moment, the sound of artillery fire in the distance seemed to pause for a while, and the world was quiet with only the monotonous sound of rain.

"...I don't have any objection."

Vinata whispered, "It's just that your taste in choosing a witness is not as good as your taste in choosing a bride."

As she spoke, she looked at the shadowy lieutenant general lying in the corner. The look of his death was enough to scare away 90% of the children in Indo Port, and the remaining 10% were simply frightened to faint.

"Well, you can think of him as a gift."

After Adele finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and gently lifted it. A silk thread quickly wrapped around the Shadow Admiral's two broken palms and pulled them over. Then, Adele took off the Shadow Admiral's burnt gloves and jewel ring and carefully put them into her pocket.

"In my hometown, the prey hunted by the bride cannot be considered as a gift to the groom."

"That's the pre-marital property - well, don't dwell on it."

Adele waved her hands, releasing black flames to burn the Shadow Vice Admiral's body.

The witch's black fire will burn the spiritual part, but it cannot eliminate the extraordinary characteristics. After the corpse is burned by the black fire, the extraordinary characteristics will be accelerated due to the disappearance of the spiritual medium.

"When I saw him, he seemed to be busy doing something."

Adele recalled that when she met Vice Admiral Shadow just now, he seemed to be busy rushing towards the chapel located at the highest point of the entire port.

"It must be something very important that made this guy take the risk of sneaking into a completely unfamiliar port and even abandon his own men."

Adele lowered her head in thought. The Shadow Admiral was too calm. Until his death, he seemed to have absolute confidence in his actions, believing that as long as he could achieve the predetermined goal, all previous losses would be worth it.

"who cares?"

Vinata waved her hands impatiently, seeming to be still immersed in the joy of being proposed to, and didn't want to be upset by such a thing. "Whatever his plan was, he's dead now."

"hope so."

Adele wasn't sure either, so she could only nod.

Mr. Fool's pendulum has been destroyed now, and Adele's divination has returned to the level of a normal witch. In matters that have nothing to do with her, divination cannot play its due role.

Moreover, even if a real fortune teller came, few people would dare to directly divine for a figure like the Shadow General who had close ties with the Iron Cross and the Moss Ascetic Order. If they divined the duet of the Hidden Sage and the True Creator, they would die without knowing how they died.

"Let's go take a look at the front line now. These pirate farces should be over."

Adele shook her head, threw these thoughts out of her mind, and spoke to Vinata with certainty.

Vinata nodded and had no objection.

At this moment, the spiritual part of the corpse in the shadow was completely burned out, and the whole person fell to the ground like a corpse soaked in water, with a clenched, translucent, black fist lying in the middle.

This fist intuitively gives people a sense of power and evil. The lines, light spots and nails on it seem to follow normal rules, but are full of discordant meanings, as if hiding a lot of madness and chaos.

Adele stepped forward and took away the Corrupted Baron's characteristics, and put the corpse into the body bag that had been prepared long ago. She pulled up Vinata, and the two immediately left by flashing.

However, the small statue that the shadows had taken from Salvatore's house was now nowhere to be seen.

Adele and Vinata had no idea that the Shadow Admiral was carrying this item, so when they searched the body they naturally did not notice that this key item was missing.

……

Meanwhile, at the chapel location on top of the mountain.

This was originally the Dusk Chapel of the Church of the God of War. Since the Church of the God of War withdrew from Indo Port, the defense here has become weak. Only a few management personnel were left symbolically to guard certain sealed objects according to regulations.

Seeing the situation outside, the people guarding the sealed objects in the church began to become obviously agitated.

According to the instructions of the Church of the God of War when they evacuated, this pirate invasion was tacitly approved by Feysac, and they invited foreign enemies to suppress the unstable thoughts in the country. According to the predetermined plan, they should have released the suppression of the seal and added fuel to the chaos.

However, the mysterious strong man who was able to suppress the Undead King, the powerful fleet of Vice Admiral Iceberg, and the mounted police led by Vinata all performed very well, which made them unable to decide which side to take for a while.

After much hesitation, the members of the Church of God of War who stayed here decided to complete their mission.

"Go open the underground gate..." He waved his hand wearily, "We still have to complete our mission. After all, this is what the archbishop wanted."

Several men looked at each other, but finally agreed with the captain's decision and prepared to go to their respective areas of responsibility to unlock the seal.

Suddenly, they bent over in pain, coughed violently, and spat out mouthfuls of blood and even fragments of internal organs. Their entire lungs almost turned into tattered cotton wool.

"What a shame. I thought you guys would figure it out."

In the shadows, the "Full Moon Witch" Reinara, wearing a dark blue bonnet and a wizard robe of the same color, appeared slowly, her words full of regret.

"After all, you chose to stand with that hateful Red Angel... Then, please die in peace."
