Chapter 291 The Predecessor of the Drum Kingdom
Haiyuan calendar year 674
My father built an underground library for me. Today is my first time here and I am very happy. My father told me that the medical books here are the foundation of our family. I decided to record the major events of each year in this notebook starting from today.

Today, when I was preparing to enter the secret room to study medical books, I accidentally overheard a conversation between two soldiers. The original natives of the island seemed a little dissatisfied with us outsiders ruling the country.
I don't quite understand. My father said that their dissatisfaction is only temporary, and as long as they all benefit, they will no longer resist us. Even with a strong military force, we still need to meet some of their basic needs. This year, some medical content will be released for people on the island to learn. He said that I will understand it when I grow up, and I will wait and see the results.

This year, my father opened several institutions for learning medical skills, and distributed some medicinal herb seeds suitable for growing on this island to civilians for planting.
I heard that the medicinal herbs we grow are very popular outside and can be sold for a lot of money. Now there are no more voices of dissatisfaction from the common people in this country. My father said that we have established a firm foothold here and can study with peace of mind in the future.
This is what’s left of the first page. The bottom part was torn off diagonally, and I don’t know what the remaining few words say.
Vic looked at this time point with some regret. This was what happened one hundred years ago, and it was very close to the blank one hundred years.
The next hundred years will soon be a blank period, and the content at the end will be torn off page by page, leaving only the last half of the page with some words stubbornly remaining.

In a few days I will leave this country where I have lived for nearly 50 years, and I thought of my father who passed away almost 20 years ago.
The scene of my father and I just arriving in this country seems like it was just yesterday. I really don’t want to leave here.
It's just that they said we won and we must enjoy the fruits of victory. I don't think living in the highest place on land is enjoyment. Alas! The medical books here will not be used in the future. They can't be spread out and can only be sealed here!
This is the content of the last page with text. This page should have recorded the major events that happened in the world in recent years, but it was torn off in a hurry.
This last segment is the only survivor, but through this information Vic can infer a lot of things, which also confirms the previous speculation.
The predecessor of this country was indeed one of the 20 countries that formed the world government. The guy who wrote the notes still had some conscience. Knowing that this island was poor, he even waived the heavenly gold and gave it a place to attend a meeting in Marijoa.
But there is only so much help that can be done. There is not even a naval base on the island, and there is no protective force prepared. I guess the guy who wrote the notes was already dead when the navy was formed.
His descendants are already transforming into the current Celestial Dragons. It's good enough that they can occasionally remember the Drum Kingdom. Do you still expect him to help you with anything?
After reading the notes, some of Vic's doubts were resolved, but new doubts arose. No wonder there are so few blank hundred-year periods in history in this world.
Even a person who likes medical books knows to destroy his notes before leaving. Then other vested interests will spare no effort to do so. This is the consensus of the winners.
After reading the notes, Vic pondered for a long time and carefully explored the secret rooms on the two floors, but found nothing new.
Come to think of it, if that guy hadn’t left in such a hurry, I probably wouldn’t have been able to see even the last bit of notes.
Vic didn't plan to stay here for long as he had no new discoveries. He put all his medical books into the other-dimensional space. They would definitely be useful in the future and could be considered a treasure trove.
Afterwards, even the desks, chairs and oil lamps were taken away, leaving only two underground spaces with stone wall bookshelves.
Walking out of the secret room, Vic took out the first stone pillar he cut and blocked the exit of the secret passage. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see any difference.
Moreover, a stone pillar weighing more than ten tons cannot be moved by anyone. It is estimated that no one in the Drum Kingdom can discover the secret inside.
I'm afraid that the Celestial Dragons of that clan have left records of the secret room, and I don't know when they'll come looking for it and it will be exposed. But given the way the Celestial Dragons do things, the probability of that happening is not very high.
After packing up the items in the basement, Vic returned to his room silently. There were still two hours before dawn, and Vic was not idle either. He adjusted his mindset and continued to practice.
Although he saw some corners of the establishment of the world government, the information was too little and he could not imagine the scale of that war at all. Vic did not continue to remain silent in the world of eight hundred years ago.
After dawn, Vic did not stay in the palace for long. He said goodbye to the king and the old doctor, and went down the Drum Peak with Dalton and the equipment.
The old king gave this batch of equipment to Vic. Although Vic said he just wanted to borrow it, the old king's attitude was very firm and his intention to make friends with Vic was obvious.
After that, Vic stopped refusing, as Dr. Tsukimi and Kuleha might be able to use these latest equipment.
At the foot of Magnetic Drum Peak, Dalton insisted on giving Vic a ride, because in Dalton's opinion there were really too many things and it would be difficult for one person to move them away. It's not that the things were heavy, but there were too many broken pieces for one person to carry.
Vic didn't want to expose the matter of the extra-dimensional ring right now, so he agreed, but he didn't let Dalton take him to his destination.
Vic would not take anyone directly to Kuleha's residence without the owner's consent.
After arriving at Vic's designated location, Dalton helped Vic move the equipment off the carriage.
Dalton had a lot to say to Vic, but he was too tongue-tied to say anything nice, so he could only thank him stiffly.
Vic was also very nice to Dalton, and he was considered a person he recognized. After Dalton drove away in the carriage, Vic used his observation Haki to sense the surroundings before putting the medical equipment into the dimensional space.
After returning to Kuleha's book room, Vic took out all the things again. There were either elderly people or patients in the room, so Vic did not ask them for help and moved all the things to the second floor by himself.
The two old men were a little surprised that Vic came back so soon, but when they thought of Vic's extraordinary martial arts, they felt it was natural. They were wondering in their hearts whether Vic had just robbed the things.
Wendy trusted Vic's character and thought that these things were bought, but Vic ignored the strange looks from the two old people.
"Doctor, it's up to you now. Come on, do you want blood, flesh or bones? It's all up to you." Vic took off his shirt, revealing his solid and slender muscles.
"That's perfect. To get the best result, let's have a little bit of everything! Wow! You really have a great figure! You look like a product of nature, with a unique charm. It's too perfect!"
Dr. Yuejian was filled with envy when he saw Vic's sculpture-like upper body, which was something he had never had in his life.
Half an hour later, Dr. Yuejian took the necessary materials from Vic and sent him away.
He knew that Vic was in a hurry, and he planned to get the job done as quickly as possible. Vic could also feel Dr. Yuejian's urgency, and he was deeply moved. This was a very pure scientist.
Seeing Wendy's increasingly healthy complexion, Vic knew that she would fully recover in a few days.
By then, Wendy will be the strongest person on the entire Magnetic Drum Island, and it will be very safe even if she is left alone to wait for the warship to arrive.
Vic doesn't think that some very strong people will come to the island in just a few days, so Wendy's luck really needs to be considered. As long as Dr. Yue Mi's results come out, Vic will decide on the next move.
