Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 364 Tracing the Origin of the Southern Continent

The North City of Behrens Port, a dock area with relatively good law and order.

The scene here has not changed much from when Adele left two weeks ago, and the dark red patterns on the trapezoidal earth and stone wall four to five meters high are still vivid in my mind.

Across the city wall, one can see at a glance the pyramid temple in the middle of the southern district, and the chimneys of the four metallurgical factories surrounding it. The temple has changed.

The city wall is still the same city wall, but this time, more than twice the usual number of guards began to appear on the walls of the city wall. Mortars were erected on the top of the city.

However, the muzzles of these mortars are not all facing the outside of the city, and quite a few of them are aimed at the inside of the city. This is to prevent traitors from storming the city gates in the following wars that may affect this place—although it sounds like It was unbelievable, but it was a very common thing among the native soldiers of the Southern Continent who were generally weak in fighting will.

When the colonies of Ruen and the Southern Continent first entered the stage of trench warfare, the killing effect of both sides was very limited. Therefore, in some colonial slave regiments, more people were killed by military judges than died in battle. Absurd phenomenon.

"Has the date for the final battle been set?"

Tracy's lips moved slightly, secretly communicating with Adele beside her.

After Gagaran proposed that Adele has the right to decide whether to participate in the war, Adele and Tracy were intentionally or unintentionally squeezed out of the seminar on the decisive battle plan, so now they have time to hang around .

"It should be this month, and it is estimated that full mobilization will start tomorrow at the latest."

Adele also whispered in the same way, which is a common way of communicating privately in public.

"Then, what are we going to do this time?" Tracy rubbed her hands, a little moved.

The harvest last time was really not cheap. Although she knew that this kind of opportunity was hard to come by because of her rich experience in pirates, the batch of precious artworks still made her enthusiasm for work a lot.

"I'm afraid it's unlikely to continue doing light work."

Just looking at Tracy's expression, Adele guessed what she wanted to do, and said in advance: "After all, we are temporary outsiders, if a project is really profitable, we don't even need to With a lot of money, the military will replace us with their own direct descendants sooner or later."

"...You are right." Tracy was a little frustrated, "Then what are we going to do?"

"The easiest thing is to rely on your own powerful firepower to provide fire support to the troops responsible for the raid on Aleser. Just stand on the boat and aim at the target to shoot out the shells."

Adele sighed, "This is also an excellent way to take advantage of the ironclad ship, but it's hard to say whether those military people will let us go so smoothly."

For the military, Adele, who was born as an assassin, has a natural sense of disgust and alienation, which makes her not interested in the staff's combat plan.

"At that time, pay attention to the situation. If the situation is not right, no ship can run past the 'Xuefeng'." Adele smiled relaxedly, "Anyway, I haven't won believers for other gods yet. And the consciousness of dying."

"You really dare to say it." Seeing Adele's obvious attitude, Tracy also relaxed, and a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Originally, she was still worried about whether Adele and Gagran would make any compromises in order to reach an agreement with the military, and this compromise was very likely to involve herself, a former orthodox member of the Witch Sect. Lacey was just thinking too much.

"But compared to these, I am more worried about the state of the city."

Adele's expression was filled with deep anxiety, which was far from the transparent state of no sadness or joy when she faced William Augustus before.

"You mean...the minaret?"

Tracy raised her eyebrows, followed Adele's gaze, and happened to see the four steeple-shaped chimneys that were said to contain some kind of mysterious ritual magic knowledge.

"That's right, I saw a mutated priest of the Death God family near here before, and in his last communication before he lost his mind, he showed special admiration and attention to those minarets. Something that absolutely cannot be explained simply by the love of the workers for the factory, is closer to a mania, a mania that I cannot understand."

Recalling the priest who swallowed ayahuasca, Adele's expression became complicated.

It was also when she met the priest that the things around Adele began to change from small things that could be solved by fighting skills, revolvers and extraordinary abilities, to ones that were mysterious and mysterious. What was more difficult than solving the problem was how to recognize the problem The incident made Adele feel physically and mentally exhausted.

"I wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly at the time, but received an order to go to sea urgently the next day."

Adele spread her hands, "I have been wanting to ask Lieutenant General White since I came back, but he has been exhausted from dealing with William Augustus, the 'Founder of the Nation' recently, and I tried to rush the progress several times. There is no news."

Having said that, Adele suddenly remembered something, and asked Tracy:
"You have been to the Southern Continent several times before, and you should have a good understanding of the local customs, especially the mysterious events in this area. Do you have any reference materials?"

Tracy was stunned for a moment, but she quickly realized that she nodded slightly and said:

"If you need other information, such as that kind of ayahuasca, I don't know much more than you, and even because my mother is not a witch who is good at these side-by-side black magic, I might as well be taught by Gagaran for my experience in similar areas." You who came out."

"However, if all you want to know is the history of the colonies in the Southern Continent, I can tell you a good story, but you have to judge for yourself how much useful information you can get."

Tracy glanced at Adele, and after noticing that Adele had no objection, she began to tell the story of the Southern Continent, starting with the earliest colonists in the Southern Continent.

(Some book friends in the first two chapters have responded that a chapter of [-] words seems a bit weird. I want to change it back to a chapter of [-] words. If you really need to use a large chapter to add an average order, you will first change it back to a chapter of [-] words for a while)
