The stump looked at Caterina with a grin and said, "Miss Bailing, I now understand that you belong to that side. ”

"What? you want to tell me?" Caterina tilted her head at the stump.

The tree stump waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, how can a mouse like me have trouble with you." If you're gone, who am I going to sell the information to? I'm just saying, the city is being searched very tightly right now, and I know you must have a place to hide, but with the way the protective barrier is now closed and house by house, they will one day find where you live. Although I don't have any great skills, I don't know the horns of the royal capital. I can provide you with a few shelters if needed. ”

"This ...... I see, continue to tell me about other losses. Caterina said.

"The Magic Society suffered a lot of losses, the president Victoria, the second vice president Baccareza were all killed in the explosion, and to make matters worse, the first vice president, Master Gordon, was locked up by them two days earlier. I have a friend who is an assistant deacon of the Magic Association, and he said that the Magic Association is in chaos right now, and several high-level mages have jumped out to take care of things, but they don't buy each other, and they don't know what to do. ”

"You're well-informed. Even the Magic Guild can get into. ”

The stump grinned: "People like us like to make friends, and we can make friends." One day, Miss Bailing doesn't want to use the copper shield to settle the bill, so she can also use the message in exchange. ”

"Go ahead. ”

"Master Almeida of the Tower of Healers fell to his death, Master Leia of the Tower of Ice also died in the explosion, and the Silver Leaf Priest and High Knight of the Temple of Nature each died. As for the high-level and intermediate-level, it's not clear, anyway, it's a lot. The stump snapped his fingers and counted them one by one.

"So, no matter how you win or lose, all sides have lost a lot?"

"If I want to say, Her Royal Highness doesn't seem to have suffered much, and both of her great knights have been dug out of the ruins alive. I don't know about the adults, but some of my friends think that if anyone has a profit in this matter, it is the royal family. "If that's all you need to know, I've said that." ”

Caterina took out the silver spear she had just thrown to him, and the stump took it with both hands, rubbed it on her sleeve, and tucked it into her pocket, "You are so generous, if every one of my clients were like you, I wouldn't have to mess around here anymore." ”

Caterina then took out another silver spear and said, "One more thing, can you help me get the Ice Snake Blood and Stargroup Grass?"

"Ah, it's something that heals, especially burns. The stump thought for a moment and said, "Yes." Give me an hour and I'll buy it for you. Where will I get the delivery?"

"Right here, you buy the goods and return to this position and wait, and you will naturally meet me. Caterina said.

After the stump was gone, Caterina left the alley as if nothing had happened. She looked left and right, and there were no good hiding places in this small square in the market area, and some locations such as rooftop balconies would arouse suspicion if seen, so she simply continued to walk around the market, constantly keeping the position changing. So as not to stay in one position for too long and let others notice.

The stump guy is very smart, and Caterina knows very well that the other party has guessed who she is asking for information and buying medicine for injuries. However, it was also a last resort to let him go to trade, and it was much better than taking risks herself. Caterina had no doubt that the places in the city where she could buy medicine for injuries must have been seen dead by the princess's people. Only someone like him, who can find resources from the dark corners of the city, will be able to solve the problem unconsciously.

Caterina walked around the market for nearly an hour, and saw the tree stump swaying back to its location in the alley. She walked around the alley to make sure there were no Praetorian Guards or temple people in ambush, and then slowly approached the alley.

"The potion you wanted. Seeing that there was no one left and right, the stump took a package from his bosom and placed it in Caterina's basket.

Caterina looked through it, didn't notice anything wrong, and placed the two silver spears in the hands of the tree stump.

"If you need anything else, just tell me, you know where to find me. The stump put away the silver coins in satisfaction, and the two walked out of the alley in different directions.

But just as Caterina was about to return to the small square, she suddenly felt an alarm for no reason. The mercenaries had always trusted their instincts, and Caterina burst into vindictiveness, jumping backwards without hesitation, and in the next second, a magical ray of light hit the position where she was supposed to go. She looked up and saw a mage floating in mid-air, preparing for a second spell. On both sides of the alley below, two knights in leather armor suddenly rushed out, each holding a long sword and lunging at her.

Caterina turned and ran, but as soon as she turned around, she saw that the stump was also desperately rushing in her direction, and there were three or four warriors chasing after him.

Damn, it's a trap!

Soon the two met in the middle of the alley, and the two sides were not in a hurry to capture them, and approached them steadily.

"You betrayed me?" Caterina pulled half of her dagger out of her basket and pressed it against the stump's neck, the only weapon she had.

"No, if I betrayed you, I wouldn't have to act now. ”

Caterina snorted coldly and withdrew the dagger, but the two of them were too powerless against these people.

"I don't know how they followed. The stump pulled a short knife from his boot, "I, I obviously bought it through the Wild Bears. Could it be that the Wild Bears have been co-opted by the princess?"

"What now, there's no way to escape!"

"I think it's better to surrender, otherwise we'll be trampled to death like cockroaches." The tree stump swallowed.

"The young man made a wise choice. The mage who slowly floated from the sky said, "Put down your weapons and follow us, I promise not to kill you!"

Caterina could tell from the steps of the knights that the weakest of them was a cut above her, and she put her dagger around her neck and shouted, "If you come again, you will only get my corpse." ”

The heavenly mage waved his hand and motioned for the knights to slow down, but he himself had prepared a binding spell, and if he succeeded, the woman would not even have a chance to kill herself.

"Don't be so decisive. There is hope if you leave your life behind. Besides, even if you kill yourself, the magician may be able to torture your soul. The tree stump said.

Caterina poured her fighting spirit into her dagger and aimed it at her forehead, "So what? so they won't get anything, right?"
