Chapter 20: The Lord of Flames and the Book

“Yes, sir.”
Kaplan left the room at Cordell’s words. Cordell also left his room not long after Kaplan.
Cordell started walking after he left the room. His destination was the Flame Pagoda’s master, Spire Lord Berenice’s room. When Cordell arrived in front of the Spire Lord Berenice’s room, beads of sweat covered his face.
