On the Seven Towers

Stump looked at Catalina with a smile and said, "Miss Bailing, I now understand which side you belong to."

"What? You want to report me?" Catalina tilted her head and looked at the tree stump.

Stump waved his hands repeatedly and said: "No, no, no, how can a mouse like me have trouble with you? If you are gone, who should I sell the information to? I just said that the search is very tight in the city now, I know You must have a place to hide, but according to the current situation of closing the protective barrier and searching houses one by one, they will one day search where you live. Although I don't have much ability, I haven't found the corner of the capital yet. I don’t know. I can provide you with several shelters if necessary.”

"This... I understand, continue to tell me about other losses." Catalina said.

"The Magic Association has suffered great losses. President Vittorio and second vice-president Baccaresa were both killed in the explosion. What's even worse is that the first vice-president Master Gordon was imprisoned by them two days ago. I have a friend who is the assistant deacon of the Magic Association. He said that the Magic Association is now in a mess. Several high-level mages have come out to take charge of things, but they don’t agree with each other. I don’t know what to do.”

"You are very well-informed. You can even find out about the Magic Association."

Stump grinned: "People like us like to make friends, and we can make friends. If Miss Bailing doesn't want to settle the bill with a copper shield, she can also exchange it with news."

"Go on."

"Master Almeida from the Tower of Healers fell to death, Master Leia from the Tower of Ice also died in the explosion, and one Silver Leaf Priest and Grand Knight from the Temple of Nature each died. As for the high-level and intermediate-level ones, I don't know. Well, there are a lot of them anyway." Shudun counted them one by one on his fingers.

"So, no matter who wins or loses, all parties will suffer heavy losses?"

"If you ask me, the loss to Her Royal Highness the Princess does not seem to be great. Her two great knights were dug out of the ruins alive. I don't understand the affairs of the adults, but some of my friends think that if there is anything wrong with this matter, Whoever benefits is the royal family." At this point, Shudun spread his hands and said, "If this is the information you want to know, then I have said all I need to say."

Catalina took out the silver gun and threw it to him. Stump took it with both hands, rubbed it on his sleeves, and stuffed the silver gun into his pocket, "You are so generous. If every one of my clients were like you, I don’t have to hang around here anymore.”

Catalina then took out another silver gun and said, "One more thing, can you help me get ice snake blood and star spotted grass?"

"Ah, this is something for healing wounds, especially burns." Stump thought for a moment and said, "Okay. Give me an hour, and I can buy it for you. Where can I deliver the goods?"

"Right here. If you buy the goods and wait here, you will naturally meet me." Catalina said.

After the stump left, Catalina left the alley as if nothing had happened. She looked around and saw that there was no good hiding place in this small square in the market area. There were some places like rooftop balconies that would arouse suspicion if someone saw her, so she simply continued walking in the market. , constantly maintaining position changes. Avoid staying in one position for too long and drawing attention to yourself.

Stump is a very smart guy, and Catalina knows very well that the other party has already guessed who she is asking for information and buying medicine for. However, letting him go to trade was a last resort, and it was much better than taking risks herself. Catalina had no doubt that any place in the city where one could normally buy wound medicine must be looked down upon by the princess's people. Only someone like him who can find resources from the dark corners of the city can solve the problem unconsciously.

Catalina walked around the market for nearly an hour and saw the tree stump swinging back to the alley. She walked around the alley to make sure there were no guards or people from the temple ambushing around, and then slowly approached the alley.

"The potion you want." Seeing no one around, Stump took out a package from his arms and put it in Catalina's basket.

Catalina looked through it, found nothing wrong, and placed the two silver guns in Stump's hand.

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

But just when Catalina was about to return to the small square, she suddenly felt a warning sign for no reason. Mercenaries always trust their intuition. Katarina burst out with fighting spirit and jumped back without hesitation. The next second, a magical light hit the spot where she was originally going to go. She looked up and found a mage floating in mid-air, preparing a second spell. On both sides of the alley below, two knights in leather armor suddenly rushed out, each holding a long sword and rushing towards her.

Catalina turned around and ran, but when she turned around, she saw that Tree Stump was also rushing towards her direction, with three or four soldiers chasing behind him.

Damn it, it's a trap!

Soon the two met in the middle of the alley, but the two sides arresting them were not in a hurry and were steadily approaching them.

"Are you betraying me?" Catalina took out half of the dagger from the basket and put it against the tree stump's neck. This was her only weapon.

"No! If I betrayed you, there would be no need to act now."

Catalina snorted and removed the dagger, but it was too weak for the two of them to fight against these people.

"I don't know how they caught up with us." Tree Stump pulled out a short knife from his boot, "I, I clearly bought the things through the Wild Bear Gang. Could it be that the people of the Wild Bear Gang were recruited by the princess?"

"What should we do now? There is no way to escape around!"

"I think it's better to surrender! Otherwise, we will be trampled to death like cockroaches." Tree Stump swallowed and said.

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

Katarina saw from the figures and steps of those knights that the weakest among them was stronger than her. She put the dagger on her neck and shouted: "You will only get my corpse if you come again."

The wizard in the sky waved his hand, signaling the knights to slow down, but he prepared a binding magic. As long as he succeeded, the woman would not even have the chance to commit suicide.

"Don't be so decisive. There is hope if you stay alive. Besides, even if you commit suicide, the magician may be able to torture your soul." Tree Stump said.

Katarina poured her fighting spirit into the dagger and pointed it at her forehead. "How about this? This way they won't get anything, right?"
