Bab 595: The Slums (2)

Navigating through the squalor of the slums, Erik and Rebecca remained close, a sense of unease weighing on them. The slums seemed to be a living entity, breathing and pulsating with the grim realities of life on the fringes of society. 

"What should we do once we reach the place?" She asked with a slightly concerned tone, her eyes fixed on Erik. "Catrina had been seen at a shop in the slums, Rundel's Emporium, where they sell potions and mana-filled ingredients. But after that, she disappeared. The guild talked to the owner and looked into it but found nothing."

Erik's expression tightened, his mind racing through the information he'd downloaded from Doran's lab before the Blackguards, whose presence made the whole situation a dangerous game, had set it aflame.
