Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 235 Russell's Valentine's Day

Adele originally thought that the speed of the "Queen Honeysuckle" was faster than normal sailing ships, and it was limited. When it came, it was on a whaling mission and was also involved in artillery battles. The actual time spent on the road was three and a half days. , then it will take two days to go back this time.

However, when the "Queen Honeysuckle" really started at full speed, Adele realized that her estimation of its speed was outrageously wrong.

In this era when most ships rely on the hybrid power of steam and sails, the average speed of ordinary passenger ships is only 8 knots, and the faster clipper ship can reach 15 knots.The Kingdom's largest ironclad ship, the "Prize", has an average speed of only 16 knots, and this speed is already twice as fast as an ordinary ship.

However, compared to the "Prize" battleship, which is synonymous with the "big gun ship" theory, which is equipped with heavy armor and equipped with a large number of cannons, the "Queen Honeysuckle" is strictly speaking a destroyer with specialized speed. Using a steam engine of almost the same power to drive a hull with a displacement much lower than that of the "Prize", its speed can be imagined.

Adele was surprised to find through the speedometer in the captain's room that the stable speed of the "Queen Honeysuckle" even reached a terrifying 27 knots after the repairs were completed, more than three times that of ordinary passenger ships!
"It's like flying..."

Adele sighed looking at the rapidly receding seascape outside the window.This speed is already on par with the normal running speed of the kingdom's steam trains.

And the "Queen Honeysuckle" hasn't even reached its top speed yet!
"Sister Vespa used to rely on magical items to run on the sea, relying on the speed of a steam train to chase down a pirate ship... However, if it is the 'Queen Honeysuckle' traveling at full speed, I am afraid that she will not be able to chase it without using other magical items. let's go?"

Adele thought quite divergently.Of course, it's impossible for Sister Vespa to have the means to advance, so she just thought about it.

If things go on like this, I'm afraid I'll be able to arrive in Constanton not long after dinner today...Damn it, I might be with the Witch Sect next week during the Tarot Society!
Adele suddenly realized that she originally thought that the Little Warhorse would be dragged on the road until next Wednesday, but if this continues, it is very likely that she will not be able to participate in the next Tarot Club due to avoiding suspicion.

"I have to ask for a leave of absence in advance... It is very likely that I will meet a big shot from the Witch Sect this time."

While thinking about it, Adele arranged the prayer ceremony in her room while Wendy was away.

Although Tracy didn't say it clearly, Adele, who learned through the "Witch" card that the Sequence 3 of the Witch Path is "Eternal Witch", had a similar guess in her mind:
It may involve the relics of the Sequence 3 witch's relics. The Witch Sect cannot just send Tracy who is still a Sequence 5. There must be a demigod-level powerhouse with the ship!
And considering Tracy's interpersonal relationship, the most likely person to act with her is her mother, Katerina, who is her aunt according to the Witch Sect.

Adele didn't have the confidence to hide it from her eyes, so she kept an eye out, explained her current situation concisely, and then passed the information to every member.

Afterwards, Adele sat bored in the cabin for a while, and then took the only book in the luggage she brought from Backlund on the bookshelf.

It was the biography of Emperor Roselle, a general-purpose Loen translation published in 1350, and there were a few pages of Roselle's notes collected by Altaïr.

Adele always likes to stare at those pages of notes in a daze when she has nothing to do, guessing what they mean.However, he has never heard of anyone who can successfully decipher similar notes, and even if there is, there is a high probability that they are liars.

When doing meaningless things, time often flies by, Adele didn't even realize it, the chime clock in the captain's room struck twelve.

"It's noon so soon..." Adele rubbed her eyes, and was about to go to the lobby to eat something.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the captain's cabin. After Adele opened the door, she found Miss Wendy holding two lunch boxes.

"I'm the only lady in the hall, and it's still a bit awkward, so do you want to have a meal together? I don't think you have left your room all morning."

Wendy raised the food box in her hand to Adele.The first thing Adele did when she bought the "Empress Honeysuckle" was to recruit a new chef, so now the food standard on board has improved a lot.

"my pleasure."

Adele nodded gracefully, put the open books aside, and cleared space for Wendy to put the two lunch boxes containing fried keel fish, lamb stewed with black peas, and oatmeal bread with pork sausage in it. on the table.

"Would you like some drinks?"

Adele was about to turn around and make tea when she saw Wendy staring intently at the notebook with a strange expression on her face.

"Are you also interested in Russell's secret notes?"

Adele smiled, "That's right. After all, you are an Extraordinary of the 'General Knowledge' path, and you must also admire Emperor Roselle, who is the son of steam."

"Yes, I admire Emperor Roselle very much."

Wendy came back to her senses, and replied subconsciously, but her mind was full of what she saw just now.The powerful memory provided by the generalist allowed her to remember all the words even if she just glanced at them.

"February 2th, because there is no similar festival in this world, I almost forgot that today is Valentine's Day. To remind myself, I am going to find the witch I met last month. She has left a deep impression on me. But I have to find a way to avoid Bernadette, and I can't let him find out that my old father is carrying her out for Valentine's Day, or she might ignore me!"

It's actually Chinese, and it's still simplified characters?Also, even though you look embarrassed while avoiding your own daughter, you look really pretty when you dare to find a witch as your lover...

Wendy knew that her expression might be exciting, but she couldn't care less now.Although she had suspected that Emperor Roselle might be a time traveler before, this was the first time she had seen such evidence.

Could it be that the mysterious symbols invented by Emperor Roselle are actually Chinese, and the so-called secret notes of Roselle are actually his diary?

And Miss Adele is obviously a wild Roselle cook who can't understand Chinese... She can't, really tattoo the words in Roselle's diary on a certain part of her body, right?
While trying to restrain her expression, Wendy considered her words and said tentatively:

"Can you lend me this biography this afternoon? I have read many similar biographies in Intis before, and I want to know what the people of Loen think of Roselle."

"Okay, no problem. Although I didn't bring many books, there should be many good ones here. You can also take two of them."

Adele had no doubt about him, and graciously agreed, but her inadvertent words made Wendy confused again.

Was she... was she playing Jackie with me just now?
