Richard found the reaction of the girls somewhat strange.
He opened the book and flipped through it quickly, gaining some insight.
The book was an autobiography of a male warlock, which described many unconventional spell tips. Moreover, it extensively discussed how to train one's slave... ah, specifically male slaves.
That was somewhat gruesome.
Aside from the bizarre content, Richard couldn't find anything special about the book and didn't understand why it made the ancient ring heat up.
What exactly was Old Marlon's so-called secret of the White Stone Tower? And what was the connection between this book and the ancient ring?
Richard pondered this as he walked back to the table where he had been reading, but he then noticed an extremely conspicuous muscular figure moving around, seemingly searching for someone.
When the man saw Richard, he quickly approached and asked, "Have you seen Gro, Richard?"
