Capítulo 69: Sofia Public Library

Monday, 30th August 1580.

Church of Wisdom, North Kingston Avenue.

Bryan exited the church with both his hands inside the pocket of his black trench coat. He looked at the people walking on the sidewalks as well as the rows of horse-drawn carriages riding along the brick-paved street with a faint smile on his lips.

It was currently 10 in the morning, the skies were clear and the warm sunlight shone on the entire city. However, the blowing winds had gotten chillier. And it was beginning to get colder with each passing day.

Usually, it starts to snow in late November or early December in Damascus. Therefore, in the period before that, the temperature continues to fall bit by bit.

Bryan took out a silver case as well as a gas lighter of the same color from the inside pocket of his black-tailored suit jacket. He flipped open the silver case and took out a hand-rolled cigarette from it.
