Chapter: 302
He was told before the sixth test about the existence of such a place, but it was true. As they walked down, there were thick metal door and three guards at grandmaster level standing guard.
“Welcome, Chief.”
“Open the door to the treasure room.”
All three guards flinched at Lee Hameng’s order. They then turned to Yeowun with a shocked look. They had figured they will never see the metal door being opened until their time was over at this place.
‘This young man defeated an elder?’
Chun Yeowun had a pale white face with coldness surrounding him. With the body restructuring, his skin had cleared up and blood points were now invisible that he just looked like a noble who didn’t learn any martial art. If these guards who were super master level warrior couldn’t feel anything at Yeowun, it meant that Yeowun was surely at the superior level.
‘To think I would get to open this door...’
The leader of three guards took out the key from his pocket. Yeowun then glanced over at the metal door that had three keyholes. One was held by instructor for taking care of logs, one was held by the guard and last one was held by Lee Hameng.
‘So, you need all three keys to open this door.’
It was heavily guarded, even more so than the fifth floor to the library.
“I’ll count, sir. One... two... three!”
At once, three people placed their keys and turned in unison on the count of the guard. At that moment, the wall on both sides of the door trembled and the metal door divided up into half and opened the way in.
It was closed for so long that the thick and ragged old metal door creaked severely as it opened through. Cold air began to seep out from it. Outside was always cold, but the interior of the library was usually warmer. But this place was different. It was very chilling.
‘What is this smell? Leather?’
It was a weird smell. It smelled a bit rotten, but had mixed smell of medicine. A lot of smells were mixed, but it was not bad compared to the black liquid Yeowun found from the Demon Seal Cave. The guard then lit the fire up on the wall and brightened the interior.
“Oh!”
Yeowun gasped with astonishment. The wall of the interior had a faint glow of blue light.
“It’s cold pearl stone.”
The instructor whispered to Yeowun. The cold pearl stone was the stone that wielded coldness within it. This was why the interior of this room was cold.
“Follow me, please.”
Lee Hameng took up the fire and walked inside toward the corridor. As they walked in, they were soon at large five-sided room. On the other side to the corridor was a large table also created with cold pearl stone, that had a human arm and leather that seemed to be human skins.
“What is this place?”
This treasure room was not something Yeowun had expected.
“This is the second purpose.”
Lee Hameng then pointed at the table and offered Yeowun to go closer. Yeowun had cut down many right arms of princes so seeing an arm wasn’t all that weird, but seeing it preserved like that was what made him feel weird. As he walked towards it, the smell of medicine became stronger.
‘Was it worked on to have it from being rot?’
It seems the arm or skins were processed to preserve it. And when Yeowun got up to it, his eyes shook.
“This...?”
He didn’t know when saw from afar, as the arm was lifeless and bony, but the arm had full of scars. And all other skins also had sharp wounds over it. It was a scar left from a blade.
“Blade... markings?’
