674th year of the Sea Circle Calendar
My father built an underground library for me, and today is my first time here. I am very happy. My father told me that the medical books here are the foundation of our family. I have decided to start recording the major events of each year in this notebook from today onwards.
675th year of the Sea Circle Calendar
Today, as I was preparing to enter the secret chamber to study medical books, I overheard a conversation between two soldiers. It seemed that the original natives of the island were somewhat dissatisfied with us outsiders ruling the country.
I don't quite understand. My father said that the dissatisfaction is only temporary. As long as they all benefit, they will stop resisting us. With strong military power, we still need to meet some of their basic needs. This year, we will release some medical information for the people on the island to learn. He said I will understand when I grow up. I'm waiting to see the results.
676th year of the Sea Circle Calendar
This year, my father opened several medical training institutions down there, and also distributed some medicinal herb seeds suitable for growing on this island to the common people to cultivate.
I heard that the medicinal herbs we grow are very popular outside and can be sold for a lot of money. Now we can no longer hear the voices of discontent from ordinary people in this country. My father said that we have established ourselves here and can now focus on our studies.
This is the remaining content of the first page; the bottom part has been torn off diagonally, and the remaining words are illegible.
Vic looked at this timeline with some regret; it happened Void Century Void Century, and very close to it.
Soon we will arrive at the Void Century, but the rest of the content has been torn out page after page, leaving only a few words stubbornly remaining on the last half of the page.
721st year of the Sea Circle Calendar
In a few days I will be leaving this country where I have lived for nearly 50 years, and I think of my father who passed away almost 20 years ago.
The scene of my father and I arriving in this country feels like it was just yesterday; I really don't want to leave.
They just say we've won, and we must enjoy the fruits of victory. I don't think living at the highest point on land is a privilege. Alas! The medical books here will be useless in the future; they can't be circulated, so we'll just have to seal them away!
This is the content of the last page with text remaining. The top of this page should have recorded the major events that happened in the world in recent years, but it was hastily torn out.
This last person was the sole survivor, but through this information, Vic could deduce many things, which also confirmed his previous guesses.
This country was indeed one of the 20 countries that formed the World Government. The guy who wrote the notes had some conscience; knowing the island was poor, he even waived the Heavenly Tribute and gave it a spot to attend a meeting in Mary Geoise.
That's all the help we can offer. There isn't even a Marine Base on the island, and no protective forces are prepared. I guess by the time the navy was formed, the guy writing these notes would have already passed away.
His descendants are already transforming into the Celestial Dragons of today; it's already a miracle if they occasionally remember the Drum Kingdom. What more can you expect from him?
Reading the notes resolved some of Vic's doubts, but new doubts arose. No wonder there are so few Void Century in the history of this world.
Even someone who enjoys medical books knows to destroy their notes before leaving home, so other beneficiaries will spare no effort to do the same; it's practically a consensus among the victors.
After reviewing the notes, Vic pondered for a long time and carefully explored the two secret rooms again, but found nothing new.
Come to think of it, if that guy hadn't left in such a hurry, he probably wouldn't have even seen the last bit of his notes.
Having found nothing new, Vic didn't plan to stay there any longer. He stored all the medical books in his Alternate Dimensional Space, knowing he would definitely need them later; it was quite a treasure trove.
After that, even the desk, chair, and oil lamp were taken away, leaving only two underground spaces with stone bookshelves.
After exiting the secret passage, Vic took out the first piece of stone he had cut off and used it to block the exit of the secret passage. Without careful observation, it was impossible to tell that there was anything different about it.
Moreover, a stone pillar weighing over ten tons is not something anyone can move at will; it's estimated that no one in the Drum Kingdom will be able to discover the secret within.
The fear is that the Celestial Dragons might have left behind a secret record, and that they might suddenly decide to search for it, which would expose the secret. However, given the Celestial Dragons ' way of doing things, the probability of that happening is probably not very high.
After tidying up the items in the basement, Vic silently returned to his room. With two hours until dawn, Vic didn't rest but composed himself and continued his cultivation.
Although he had glimpsed some of the outlines of the establishment of the World Government, the information was too scarce to imagine the scale of that war. Vic did not remain silent in the world of eight hundred years ago.
After daybreak, Vic did not linger in the palace. He bid farewell to the king and the old doctor and, together with Dalton, descended Drum Rockies with the equipment.
The old king gave this equipment to Vic. Although Vic said he only wanted to borrow it, the old king's attitude was firm, and his intention to befriend Vic was very clear.
After that, Vic stopped refusing, Dr. Tsukimi and Kureha would likely need these latest devices.
At the foot of Drum Rockies, Dalton insisted on seeing Vic off, because in Dalton's opinion, there were really a lot of things, and it would not be easy for one person to carry them all. It wasn't that the things were heavy, but there were just too many small pieces that would be difficult for one person to carry.
Vic didn't want to reveal the existence of the Other-Dimension Ring right now, so he agreed, but he didn't let Dalton take him to his destination.
Vic wouldn't bring anyone directly to Kureha's residence without the owner's permission.
Upon arriving at Vic's designated location, Dalton helped Vic unload the equipment from the carriage.
Dalton had a lot to say to Vic, but he was tongue-tied and couldn't say anything nice, so he could only offer a stiff thank you.
Vic treated Dalton very well, considering him someone he respected. After Dalton drove away in his carriage, Vic used his Observation Haki to sense the surroundings before storing the medical equipment in his Dimensional Space.
Back in Kureha's bookstore, Vic took all his things out again. The room was full of elderly people and patients, so Vic didn't ask them for help and carried everything upstairs by himself.
The two old men were somewhat surprised that Vic had returned so quickly, but considering Vic's extraordinary strength, they felt it was only natural. They both wondered if Vic had simply robbed them.
Wendy trusted Vic's character and believed that these things were bought for a reason, while Vic ignored the strange looks from the two old people.
"Doctor, now it's up to you. Come on, blood, flesh, or bone? Take whatever you want." Vic took off his shirt, revealing his strong and muscular physique.
"That's perfect! To ensure the results are accurate, let's have a little of everything! Wow! Your figure is truly amazing! You look like a product of nature, with a unique charm, it's just too perfect!"
Dr. Tsukimi saw Vic's sculpted upper body, something he had never possessed in his entire life.
Half an hour later, Dr. Tsukimi took the necessary materials from Vic and then sent Vic away.
He knew that Vic was pressed for time and he was determined to get this over with as quickly as possible. Vic could also sense Dr. Tsukimi's urgency and was deeply moved; he was a very pure scientist.
Seeing Wendy's increasingly healthy complexion, Vic knew that Wendy would fully recover in just a few days.
At that time, Wendy will be the strongest person on the entire Drum Island, so it will be perfectly safe for her to wait alone for the warships to arrive.
Vic doesn't believe that some very strong people will come to the island in just a few days of kung fu. Wendy's luck really needs to be tested. Once Dr. Tsukimi's results are out, Vic will decide on his next move.
