Chapter 226: Kyotora’s Secret Library
Sage Lang kept guiding me and Melina through the palace until we reached the set of stairs that led to a room inside the mountain.
Inside, Lang lit up a few torches to illuminate the room, which had rocky walls that resembled a cave.
There were wooden bookshelves around us filled with papyrus documents and a few books gathering dust.
"They call this room the secret library, but nobody ever uses it as such..." said Lang.
He explained that it was a room created when the palace was first built, saying that it supposedly was a request from the founder of Kyotora, where she kept important documents.
Lang explained that the scriptures the king mentioned were a set of rules that had been passed down ever since the foundation of the country.
Apparently, the unknown founder wrote them in a language that nobody in the world could read.
However, she had translated some of the scriptures herself, which were the ones that they could read nowadays.
"We don’t know why the founder didn’t translate the rest for us or why she even wrote them in that language..." Lang continued.
"Do you mind if I take a peek?" I asked the sage, who extended his arm as if giving me permission.
When I grabbed one of the dusty documents and rolled it open, my suspicions were confirmed, noticing that it was written in English.
