Chapter 69: Grimm Arrival

After Desmond's departure, Katrina's demeanor underwent a noticeable transformation. She retreated to the secluded area behind the guild and retrieved a small, ornate mirror. Engaging in an incantation, she channeled her magic, causing the reflection within the mirror to gradually shift and transform, taking the form of a shadowy tent.

Though she couldn't physically see her Guildmaster, Katrina had a longstanding practice of keeping him informed of significant developments. "Guildmaster, I have received the latest updates regarding Desmond," she reported, her voice carrying a sense of urgency.

"Wait a moment," a voice resonated from the mirrored surface, as if echoing from a distant chamber.

Katrina patiently awaited her Guildmaster's attention, observing the glass as it shimmered and then settled, finally revealing the figure of her Guildmaster amidst his chamber. He appeared occupied, organizing various items and quietly reciting an incantation.
