Chapter 290 Underground Secret Room

Chapter 290 Underground Secret Room

"Is that so?"

Vic had some vague guesses in his mind. He discovered that the Drum Kingdom, a major medical country, might have some special features. He remembered the underground space that he had sensed outside the palace with his observation Haki.

That was something that his Seeing and Hearing Haki could only perceive after he cut open the ground. This was also one of the limitations of Seeing and Hearing Haki. It was difficult to perceive things inside an object, especially if it was too thick.

Unless there is a window-like opening, he can sense the inside. He wants to find time to go to that space and see what is inside. Vic estimates that the entire royal family does not know the existence of that space.

After that, several people ate and chatted, but only Wapol didn't say much. He only said a few words when asked about his questions. Vic was right opposite him, but he didn't even dare to raise his head. The food in his mouth felt like chewing wax.

After the banquet, the old king invited Vic to stay overnight in the palace as planned. Vic agreed as he wanted to explore the underground space. He planned to go there to take a look late at night.

Vic did not rest in the room, but kept practicing Armament Haki. It was not until late at night that Vic began his own actions.

Vic released his Observation Haki and sensed the locations of all creatures in the palace. Avoiding the soldiers on guard and patrol, Vic came to the basement of the palace.

If one wants to find that underground space, the secret passage must go through the basement of the palace. The entrance cannot be somewhere on the top of a peak covered with snow all year round. That would be too easy to be exposed, and no one would design it that way.

However, Vic searched the four basements of the palace but couldn't find any secret passage. There were a lot of things piled up in the basements, some for sundries, some for food, and some old weapons and equipment.

Vic used his observation Haki to carefully sense every detail of the four basements. Except for a slight color difference on a wall in the northeast corner of the basement, there was almost no abnormality.

Vic stroked his chin and stared at the wall carefully. Everything in front of the stone wall had been moved away by Vic. The area where his observation Haki could penetrate into the stone wall was all stone, and he could not sense the existence of the secret passage at all.

Ordinary secret rooms would not have doors that were several meters thick, and except for the two-meter-wide stone wall that ran from top to bottom, which was of a different color, it was exactly the same as other walls.

If an ordinary person came in with an oil lamp, he would not be able to see any difference in color. If it weren't for his ability to perceive the difference in color, Vic would not have doubted this wall.

"We've checked other places. If there really is a secret passage, it can only be this wall. Let's dig it open first. If it doesn't work, find a place and keep digging in the direction of that space!" Vic muttered to himself as he touched the two-meter-wide stone wall of different colors.

Vic pulled out Allen's tool and inserted it along the dividing line of the different colors on the stone wall. He followed the top wall and the ground below and pulled out the entire stone wall of different colors.

After separating them, the entire stone pillar was put into the other-dimensional space. Vic did not stop and continued to dig forward. After digging ten meters forward, the feeling from the tip of Alan's knife was a little different. It felt like it had pierced into the air. Vic knew that there should be a secret passage ahead.

As Vic had imagined, after putting the stone pillar into the space, a two-meter-wide hole appeared in front of him. Vic used his observation Haki to sense it. In addition to the regular shape of the hole, the traces of artificial excavation in the passage were very obvious, extending all the way to the underground space.

Vic did not turn on the light. With the perception of his observation skills, every detail in the passage was clearly visible. The passage did not lead directly to the secret room. There were some twists and turns in the middle.

A few minutes later, Vic arrived at this deeply hidden secret room, which was probably unknown even to the current royal family. If that was the case, this secret room might have a history of hundreds of years, and there might be some information that had been blank for a hundred years.

After arriving at the secret room, Vic sensed the structure of the secret room. The four walls were all bookshelves carved out of stone, and the bookshelves were full of books, big and small, thin and thick.

Wick was very surprised to see these books. There must be a lot of records of that era, or even more ancient historical events. This place may have never been open to the public, and the world government cannot destroy it even if they want to. It must be very valuable.

……

"Why are there only medical books? Aren't there any historical records or anything like that?"

Vic took out the light in the space, turned it on, and flipped through the books on the bookshelf, but all the books he flipped through were medical books, some of which he had heard of and some of which he had never heard of.

Vic was a little unwilling to give up. The ground was littered with medical books he had thrown away. He was also looking for books that recorded history on the bookshelf. However, this time, the goddess of luck did not favor him. There were nothing but medical books here.

"There is another level below, there is still hope!" Vic did not give up. This secret room is composed of two levels, and there is a stone staircase leading to the next level.

Vic came to the secret room on the second floor with an oil lamp. Under the diffuse light, the first thing that caught his eye was a desk in the middle of the secret room, with a chair overturned behind the desk.

There is also an antique-style oil lamp on the desk. A notebook is placed open in the middle of the desk. A quill pen is scattered not far from the notebook. The desk, the oil lamp and the notebook are all covered with a thin layer of dust. The neatly arranged books on the bookshelf form a sharp contrast with this messy desk.

Vic ignored the desk. He walked to the bookshelf and started reading again, one book after another. Looking at the familiar words on the books, Vic couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. There were only medical books and medical books.

There are no books recording history or major events, only medical books recording various difficult and complicated diseases. Many of the diseases have never been heard of, but for the diseases that have been heard of, these books have more than one solution.

There are also many terminal illnesses that have no way to be cured now, and there are treatment plans here. This can be regarded as a medical library and a holy place for studying medicine!

"Roger! What a pity! If you had found this place, maybe you wouldn't have died! With Kurokas's medical skills and the medical books here, you should be able to cure that terminal illness, right?"

Vic felt a little emotional as he looked at the bookshelf filled with top-notch medical books. If that knife had not cut a big gap on the top of the mountain, Vic would not have known that there would be a small medical library here. It can only be said that Roger was unlucky in time and fate. Although he became the Pirate King and was very powerful, he still did not have enough opportunities.

Vic lamented that he had read so many books but had not found any useful information. He then came to the desk, picked up the fallen chair, blew off the dust on it, and sat down in front of the desk.

Looking at the last remaining notebook, I still felt a little regretful. Although the owner of this desk left in a hurry, only the first page and the last page with text on the notebook had some remaining text, and the rest had all been torn off.
