Vanessa hid in the alley and counted the mercenaries in the bazaar, thirteen, what an auspicious number. They didn't spread out, and they were all absent-minded, as if they were dealing with a mission that ran out of oil and water.

The market at night was more lively than during the day, and the fat men who never went out dragged their fat bodies to cool off at the entrance of the alleys, and the peasants sat in front of the tavern with their barren and thin chests exposed, and took turns drinking beer from the big wooden barrels. Women set up stalls selling all kinds of snacks, and the rich would buy a bowl of ice clams from the stalls and savor them on the corn liqueur of Haken Island; Those who have no money can only serve a bowl of crab porridge alone and silently fill their stomachs in the corner. Of course, there are always one or two more moneyless lords in the daily bazaar, either starving beggars, or, the one Vanessa is waiting for—the thief.

"Catch him! Thief! "It's not hard at all," Vanessa screamed and rushed out of the alley, and four or five people in the market began to run around at the same time. Catch that boy! "Well, when she gave a definite characteristic, Horst's men all focused on it. Vanessa ran past the mercenaries and turned the corner bakery to see the Redstone Square in the center of the town. The princess had surveyed the terrain of the town beforehand and knew which way to run without entering a dead end.

Sure enough, five or six of Horst's men followed.

Vanessa pretended not to run, stopped to catch her breath, caught a glimpse of the mercenary out of the corner of her eye, and turned vigilantly to ask, "Who are you?" At the same time, he stretched his right hand to his waist, and then regretted to find that there were no weapons there, only a bag of gems, which was enough to remind the other person that he was a mysterious and wealthy wanderer.

"You're catching a boy," replied the young mercenary with a sleek greenbeard, who apparently saw Vanessa's gem pouch and his eyes immediately lit up, "I think we have the same goal. "As he spoke, he was about to come over.

"Then you must be mistaken, we didn't arrest the same person." Vanessa said coldly, slowly stepping back. Greenbeard tilted her head, and immediately someone circled behind her, cutting off her retreat. "What is this for? I have nothing to do with the person you're talking about. ”

"That's not up to you," Greenbeard glared greedily at Vanessa's gem bag, "in case you have important clues about that boy on you, how am I going to explain it to my superiors?" His expression turned cold, and he ordered, "Search! ”

Vanessa's reaction was faster than his men, and with a wave of her arms, a strong flash of light exploded in front of her, which was one of the spells that the princess bought with gems after going ashore, and the mercenaries were dizzy, and what was even worse was that black feathered arrows shot out in the white light! Just as they panicked to dodge, Vanessa circled behind one of the mercenaries and drew his sword and swung it at the ankles of him and his companions, causing them to fall down with a scream, and then she jumped to the other side, looking like she was about to succeed, but unfortunately the magic of the illusionary light ball ran out, and Greenbeard had already realized that the arrows were fake, "It's illusion!" Get her! ”

After a few symbolic moves, Vanessa was disarmed, and two mercenaries grabbed her arms from behind, unable to resist, and Greenbeard snatched the bag from her waist—large, small, round, irregular, rubies, emeralds, moonstones, blue diamonds, ice spirits, chalcedony, and all sorts of unnamed gems that reflected dazzling stars in the darkness.

All the mercenaries were stunned.

It's a big little pocket that could buy an entire town!

"What are you doing? That's mine! Vanessa hiccups angrily, like an enraged black cat, "Give it back to me!" ”

"Shut up, stinky bitch!" Greenbeard looked around, people were indifferent to what was happening here, there were fights and robberies in the square every day, and as long as it wasn't him, no one would look at this side. Greenbeard glanced at his men, and one of the mercenaries who held up the princess immediately covered her mouth, and the other picked her up by the waist and walked towards a remote dark alley.

They're going to kill me! Vanessa was surprised to think that just for a bag of gems, they wanted to kill people, and they didn't ask each other's identities and the origin of the gems, did their brains go straight to the large intestine? But if you think about it, it's really the style of a mercenary.

I'll have to find a chance to talk.

"Hey! Big stupid melon! I'm here! ”

It's Andy's voice! Vanessa was ecstatic.

The mercenary carrying Vanessa paused, and the other stopped, and the princess felt the blockage on her lips lessen, and immediately whispered to the two, "Catch him, he has half a treasure map on him!" "A simple sentence, but to the point.

Greed is in human nature, especially when they see their bag of genuine treasures, and they are convinced that there is a treasure trove hidden somewhere on the mainland. Vanessa said that Andy had "half a treasure map" on him, leaving a chance for himself and him to live, and half a treasure map was not equal to half of the treasure, and they needed to get the information about the other half of the map from me.

Run, Andy, good Andy
