"So now what about the information?"

"Wait ..."

Desmond clapped his hand three times, and one of the servants walked into the dining room.

"Tell all the servants to get out of this house, put on the seal."

"Yes, young master."

After the maid left, Desmond heard the sound of footsteps from all directions. Since Desmond and Katrina were on the 1st floor, several grains of friction between the wood fell around them.

Waiting for a few minutes, all the sounds disappeared, and suddenly they felt magic surrounding this house.

"So now we can talk."

Katrina was attracted when she saw it; she did not think that even the maids could cast a spell like this.

"Interesting ... are all your servants actually skilled like this?"

Hearing this, Desmond didn't answer; he just looked out the window where several blue barriers were blocking the view outside.

"Grimm is a traitor."

With one sentence from Desmond causing Katrina to freeze on the spot, her eyes popped out as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"En ... oguh joking .. master..desmond, it's not funny, hahaha," Katrina answered shakily, never once in her dream had she thought that Grimm would betray his old friend.

This time Desmond stood up and headed for the kitchen. He took a cup of tea and filled it with a teapot filled with water.

After that, Desmond sat back down while slowly blowing his tea.

"If you still don't believe, I will add one more fact."

He slowly removed the bandage wrapped around his right hand.

"These are the wounds I got from spying on Grimm's conversation."

"Nonsense!"

Katrina stood up and hit the table in front of her hard, denying all of Desmond's statements.

How could she believe that a friend of the king himself who had served him for more than 10 years suddenly became a traitor for no apparent reason ?!

"How can I trust all this information, you say ?!

And also, if I'm not mistaken, your hand was attacked by Husk Wolf, don't try to make up a story, kid! "

Desmond smiled, seeing this.

"So why were you so confident before that I had accurate information?"

"That…"

Given her Guild Master's approval and the person Grimm is looking for has the same resemblance as Desmond, she immediately concludes that Desmond is the person Grimm is looking for and brings important information about him.

And now that Desmond asked this, doubts appeared in her mind. She also wondered why the Guild Master agreed to Desmond's request that even he had not proven to have that information and why she was so hasty in trusting a child?

Maybe because the burden she's been bearing all this time looking for Grimm makes her thoughts irrational anymore?

Seeing Katrina, who was confused for her own reasons, Desmond shook his head and amused.

"If you still don't believe, how about we use knowledge transfer?"

Katrina is speechless; Desmond even knows about this technique, which is only used when both parties do not trust each other in business.

Instead of dealing with small children, she felt that she was currently dealing with people who had been running a business for years.

"Okay."

Katrina approached and closed her eyes, while Desmond reached out his hand, touched Katrina's forehead, and then joined in, closing his eyes.

Sharing of knowledge can only be done if both parties agree on it. They will open their protection to the wizard or witch while the swordsman will lose their will power.

If one of them still doesn't believe, then this will fail, and their energy will be used in return.

In her memories, Katrina received a memory from Desmond; she saw from Desmond's perspective that this atmosphere was similar to the tavern that was said to be where people were brutally slaughtered.

She then saw Grimm talking to Krox.

She wasn't too surprised by this; after all, rich people must have their dark side. She thought that Grimm was going to buy some slaves or some other dirty thing.

But what she heard next took her by surprise and finally broke her ties with Desmond.

"Ouch ..." 2x

The two of them bounced backward, rubbing their heads.

"What are you doing?!" Desmond snapped.

According to the book he studied, if one of the parties suddenly disconnects their transfer memory after connecting, it will make the spreading party randomly lose some of their memories.

Meanwhile, if it weren't for the system that controlled Desmond's bonds, it might just be possible.

"Please forgive me, Master Desmond."

As an experienced person, Katrina understands the dangerous risks of being the person to share information, and she doesn't know if Desmond still has that information.

"I'm sorry once again, master Desmond …

I'm sorry….I'm sorry…"

Thinking that maybe Desmond had lost some other important memory, she repeatedly apologizes until tears finally came out of her eyes.

"Tch, how are you going to change this?"

"That…"

She was confused; almost all of her precious value was discovered by Desmond. Money? They had just made an agreement to give Desmond a gold coin. Guild status? Reputation? Desmond is still a child. How could he possibly want to pursue that thing?

"How ... if ... body."

"I want all the top mercenaries who will escort me on my way to the academy."

Hearing this, Katrina stood up, her gaze filled with gratitude.

"Thank you, master Desmond."

Although Katrina felt that Desmond's request was easy, she did not know that Desmond was very paranoid about his plan.

What if suddenly a Flying Wizard or Beast level A and above comes by chance to fill the stomach targeting his carriage while on the way to the academy?

It wasn't funny for him, who still wanted to explore this mysterious world.

"So, have you trusted my information?"

"I firmly believe that."

"All right, and when will you deliver the gold coins?"

Katrina stopped; she seemed like she was thinking about something and took a notebook from her pocket.

"In the next seven days, I will immediately deliver the coins myself."

"Good, then you can go now."

"Thank you again, master Desmond."

Instead of Desmond thanking her, Katrina bowed repeatedly.

Their treatment now seemed to be reversed; seeing this, Desmond was also astonished. He thought Katrina's change in character was due to her guilt earlier.

Desmond did not know that Katrina often heard of several people who had experienced similar cases going crazy because their memories were erased. Some even forgot their loved ones as a result of using this technique carelessly. 

After seeing Katrina coming out of her house, then the servants came back in.

Laura is the first servant to come to Desmond.

"How are you, young master? Are you hurt? "

She looked anxious while examining all of Desmond's body, she wanted to touch Desmond'body, but she knows if she does that, instead of being happy, she would be punished.

"Nothing; how was that woman from the guild earlier?"

This time it was Annie who stepped forward and reported the situation.

"It's only her, young master." Even though Annie didn't ask like Laura, it could be seen in her eyes that she was worried too.

"Ah, I see, all of you can go back to your jobs again; I'm tired now..."

"Yes, young master."

After seeing all the servants leave, Desmond went to his room and lay down on his bed.

"Money problem solved, at least it's enough for me to live for three years, even more. Hahaha ha."
