Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 147 Gossip
Soon, Wendy hurriedly walked back to the box.

"No problem, I still have a say in the fleet as a technician. After all, no one else can repair their ironclad ship except me."

Wendy introduced them with some pride.

"Didn't you say you are a watchmaker?" Venata was a little curious.

"I do repair watches... and, in most areas, watchmakers are synonymous with precision craftsmen. They not only make and repair clocks, but also make the core components of high-pressure steam rifles and create precision instruments."

Wendy said as she pulled up a golden watch chain inside her striped sweater, revealing the brass-colored quaint pocket watch attached underneath.

"Very beautiful." Adele gave a pertinent evaluation.

"Thank you." Wendy nodded in gratitude, "Just now the captain asked me to tell you the precautions for this trip directly, and he didn't bother to explain it again."

"First of all, the main purpose of this trip is to sell whale oil to Feysac. We are taking the route that whaling ships often take, not the closest route of passenger ships. So although the straight-line voyage is less than four days, But we still have to stay on the boat for half a month, or even longer if we encounter whales along the way."

Having said that, Wendy paused, seeing that Adele had no objection, she continued to speak: "There are no stops along the way. There should be only four of us on the entire fleet, so try not to leave the cabin unless necessary , especially don’t leave the cabin without bodyguards. We can go to the deck to get some air together while the crew is taking a nap. I’ll bring in the daily food supplies.”

"Finally, although there have been no pirates on this route in the past, due to the recent post-war stage between Fusac and Loen, the relationship between the two countries is still very tense, so the warships of both sides will not enter the high seas to patrol at will recently, and it is not ruled out. We have the possibility of pirates coming to the waters to hunt whales because they want to make some extra money."

Wendy's eyes showed a look of fear, "Although our fleet is quite large, and there are still six ships, it is impossible for ordinary pirates to come on board, but this also means that we can board the ship under such circumstances. The pirates are definitely not something we can resist."

"So, if the pirates really board the ship, I suggest that you do not make any resistance, especially this Miss Sevens."

Wendy said to Adele and the two with a serious expression.

Hearing these words, Sophie shrank into Adele's arms beside her with some fear.Adele patted her on the back reassuringly.After all, no matter how much demonization has affected her physically, she is still a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl mentally.

"You scared the child, Miss Wendy."

Venata looked at Wendy with some reproach. Wendy knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she quickly spoke to comfort her.

"Don't worry, little guy, there have been no pirates here for a long time, so don't worry."

Wendy reached out her hand to touch Sophie's smooth green hair, and said in admiration: "I just noticed, this child's hair is so beautiful, does it follow your husband's?"

"um, yes."

Adele lied without changing her expression, "However, I suggest that you better not bring up related topics again, she... Look, you made her cry again."

Hearing Wendy mention her father, Sophie's tears welled up in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk anymore!"

Seeing Sophie crying, Wendy immediately went numb.

"Miss Wendy is not good at chatting." Venata covered her mouth and smiled softly, and walked to Sophie's side to comfort her softly.

"I... hey." Wendy wanted to justify something, but in the end she hung her head dejectedly. "Cultural differences, can you say you can't chat..."

Afterwards, Adele and the two managed to coax Sophie to calm down, and Wendy took her to the cabin to put her luggage.During this period, Wendy was careful not to speak, and did not try to speak until she came to the beach.

"Here we are, this is the flagship of the whaling fleet, the 'Little Warhorse'."

Wendy pointed to the huge steel warship parked at the port.Although the main guns were not installed but the pneumatic spears for whaling were loaded, the secondary guns on both sides were still fully prepared, and the same was true for other ships, with 12 guns and corresponding gun positions on each side.

"The name is quite surprising. I thought that according to the rules at sea, it would have a more domineering name, such as 'Narwhal' or...'Orca'?"

Venata asked with some surprise.

"If I'm not mistaken, what you want to say is 'orca'..." Wendy smiled, "It was Captain Basque who named this ship. Although he is the best in Conston City Whaler, but he doesn't like this profession, and it is only the family's request to inherit related careers. Perhaps he prefers being a knight to whaling."

"But now, whether it's a knight or a whaler, these two professions are about to withdraw from the stage of history."

Wendy felt a little emotional, "A few years ago, Loen introduced relevant bills to reduce the number of whaling. Commercial whaling was limited to less than five whaling per year, and only whaling for scientific research was not restricted. He let The ship and I also have the same meaning, a marine biologist and the ship are considered to be whaling for scientific research..."

"Sounds like a serious topic," Adele commented.

"It is true that the research on whales is no longer valued by the scholars of Azshara, and I still have to keep writing papers that are destined to not be read by many people in order to provide them with a reason to go to sea. Combined with this situation Look, doesn't it sound more serious?"

Wendy gave a wry smile. "By the way, it's the same for this trip to sea. I may stay up late at night to write my thesis, and I may make strange noises. Please ignore it. If you really can't sleep, I will find earplugs for you when I get on the boat."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Adele nodded, expressing that she didn't mind.

"If you don't take the boat often, and you don't have any important things to do on the shore, I suggest you go into the cabin to get used to it while the boat is not driving."

Wendy carried her suitcase and walked up the hanging ladder. Her footsteps were steady, and she didn't have the sense of emptiness that ordinary people walk on a wobbly hanging ladder.

"Be careful where you step... Our room is on the ground floor of the 'Little War Horse', with a separate bathroom. And because it is close to the boiler, the room temperature can be guaranteed, and there is also hot water supply."

After getting on the deck, the three of them followed Wendy to the engine room below the deck.When this ship was used as a battleship, a total of four engineers were equipped just in case, so the guest room next to the engine room was relatively spacious, and could accommodate four beds, four wardrobes and a long table, all with pins Fixed to the ground and wall.

"You guys stay here for a while, I still have some things to do when I get back to shore." Wendy greeted the three of them, and left in a hurry, fearing that she would make a crying child if she said something wrong.
