"Ronald, take a look at this!"
Even the most difficult maze now needed to be tackled with honesty.
However, as the two of them and a cat made their way forward, Patricia suddenly held up the compass, her tone revealing a weightiness.
"What's happened?"
Ronald turned his head to look, and after only staring at the compass in Patricia's hand for several seconds, he realized the severity of the problem.
They had just left the slums.
Theoretically, the Caster of the "Nine Commandments" should be solving the maze in the Riverside District.
Now their pace was accelerating rapidly!
As indicated by the compass, it seemed these people weren't taking the bewildering turns typical of a maze, causing route deviations, but were instead moving at a steady speed toward the location of the harbor district.
This sensation...
It was as if the moment they emerged from the slums,
This group had found a secret shortcut that led straight to the harbor district!
—Indeed, another trap.
