After saving Yamato, Xie Wen did not hurry back to the surface. Instead, he turned to ask him, "You should know where your old man's Treasure Vault is, or somewhere like that, right?"
"Of course! I'll take you there!"
Yamato felt no qualms whatsoever about selling out his own father. He swiftly became their guide and led Xie Wen and the others back to the second basement level.
"If we're talking about what that bastard of a father values most, this should be it!"
After leading them to the edge of the storage area on the second basement level, Yamato felt around on the wall, then pushed open a well-concealed stone door.
Following the stairs behind the stone door, Xie Wen and the others reached a room filled with pillars and crossbeams, with several thick sacred ropes hanging overhead.
Directly opposite the entrance stairs stood a massive Poneglyph...
Unfortunately, it was not red.
But to Xie Wen and Robin, whether a Poneglyph was red did not matter all that much.
"This is a Poneglyph. It records clues for reaching Laugh Tale. That bastard of a father treasures it! Even the Flying Six can't just come near this place!"
Pointing at the Poneglyph, Yamato said excitedly and proudly, "But even if that idiot of a father has a Poneglyph, it's meaningless, because ordinary people can't read the writing on it at all. Lord Oden could, though, because the Kozuki Clan were the ones who carved these words in the first place!"
"Yes, I know." Though Yamato desperately wanted to restore a little dignity to his beloved idol, unfortunately, Xie Wen was completely unmoved. He told Yamato calmly, "Besides, the Kozuki Clan aren't the only people who can read Ancient Script. There's a historian with me who can read this too."
