No!
There was still one person there.
"Nancy!"
A disheveled Hodgson hid behind the bushes, gesturing to her with a whisper, "Over here!"
"Hodgson." Nancy hurried over to him, looking at her former lover with a complicated expression. "How did you end up here?"
"Do you have any idea how many people are looking for you? Once they find you... you're dead meat!"
"I..." Hodgson's face was a mask of conflict. "I had nowhere else to go. And in this state, what good would going somewhere else do? Wouldn't it still be a dead end?"
"..." Nancy opened her mouth, her eyes frantic. Then, she clenched her jaw resolutely and handed over her Magic Wand. "This is the Magic Wand my tutor gave me, made from a trunk of Second Order Magic Plants. Though it's not an Advanced Magic Item, it's still worth quite a few Magic Stones. Take it and exchange it for some Magic Stones."
That was the only valuable thing she had left.
