The Fogg family's study, like the castle outside, is full of traces of decay.

Completely rolled up yellow wall coverings, cracked wooden floors, moldy ceilings, and bookshelves with holes corroded by moisture and insects.

I'm really glad that the books on the bookshelves are still well placed and have not turned into a pile of rotten things under the influence of insects and moisture.

However, moss still crawled onto the bodies of some books.

Overall, this is a pretty disgusting place. If it weren't for the things in the secret room, Li Jiu wouldn't have stayed here for one more second.

Especially the desk, which was soaked with moisture and started to grow mushrooms.

It can be seen that no one has entered this place for a long time.

Li Jiu looked around and saw that the study room was not big. After all, the Fokker family was just a descendant of the barons and was far less lavish than such a big noble. A study room was as spacious as a library.

But this can be Li Jiu's pursuit in the future.

The study room consists of two bookshelves against the wall, a desk, and some portraits of the Fogg family ancestors that have been eroded by water vapor and cannot be seen clearly hanging on the wall.

Theoretically speaking, with the talent of family heirloom, Li Jiu could trigger the mechanism to enter the secret room even if he stayed still, but that would be too torture and a waste of time.

So...do you think Li Jiu is going to start decrypting the reasoning?

Just kidding, he is a man with several cheats, isn’t cheating enough?

Opening the Eye of Insight, although this is the first time he has used this ability, but since he can see the information of all items, it is easy to find a secret room mechanism, right?

Let’s look at the bookshelf first. In a typical plot, the secret room’s mechanism is often a book on the bookshelf. When you pull it out, the entire bookshelf begins to pull apart with the sound of mechanical gears.

result……

"Item name: Bookshelf

…

Comment: This is a rotten bookshelf that has been eaten away by bugs and moisture, nothing special about it.”

That is the portrait of the ancestor. In an unusual plot, the general mechanism will be hidden in a certain detail of the portrait of the ancestor, and some information may need to be decrypted.

"Item name: Portraits of the Fogg Family Ancestors

…

Comment: A random, crude portrait drawn by a low-level artist, the same look as every small aristocratic family trying to move into the upper class.”

…

Is it a desk?

"Item name: Desk

Material: black rock wood

Comment: A desk that looks disgusting, but is extremely sturdy. It is connected to the entire ground. There is a not very obvious bulge under the desk. I don’t know what it is used for.”

Is it really a desk?

I really don’t know if the ancestor of the Falk family who designed this secret room was unexpected or just a fool.

Carefully walking to the desk to prevent the disgusting mucus from sticking to him, Li Jiu reached out and touched the bottom of the desk. About half a minute later, he actually touched an inconspicuous bump.

Press the switch, and after hearing a few clicks, the floor under the table slowly recedes, revealing a downward hole.

The downward chamber of secrets... well, he was becoming more and more certain that the ancestor who designed the secret chamber was a talent.

No one has been in the secret room for a long time. The smell inside is very strong, like a pickle jar.

Li Jiu opened the window to ventilate for a while, then picked up an oil lamp on the desk and prepared to go down.

Although the oil lamp looks like it hasn't been used for a long time, I'm glad it can still be lit.

The setting of this secret room is quite simple, and the way to get down is also very uncomfortable. You almost have to lie down to enter, but fortunately there are steps.

The entire secret room should be like a mezzanine, so it is not big. Li Jiucai walked to the end in just two steps. The space inside is also very small. After holding the oil lamp and swinging it around, it was almost the same size as a bathroom.

The place where things are placed is also very conspicuous, it is just a shelf, and there is a document engraved on the wall next to it.

Li Jiu read it, and the general idea was that this secret room was opened by the second generation ancestor of the Fogg family. Each generation of family heirs can come in and take two things on the shelf, but they must return two things of equal value in the future. If they violate

He will be spurned by his ancestors and will no longer protect his family, and the family will fall into decline.

When the secret room was built, the shelves should be full of things.

As a result, there are only two isolated pieces left. I don't know what happened in the middle, but I guess I can't escape the words "unworthy descendants."

Li Jiu felt a little sad, thinking that I had been protected by my ancestors, and I would build a bigger and more luxurious secret room in the future when I get rich.

Take down the two items from the shelf. Don't rush to order the bag of Edward V gold coins. The bottle of Navigator's Potion is more important.

Li Jiu has basically clarified the extraordinary power system of this world from the memory of his predecessor.

It uses magic potion as the basis of power. After drinking the corresponding magic potion, you can obtain the corresponding extraordinary class and strength.

These extraordinary ranks are all related to the occupations on the ship, namely navigator, sailor, astrologer, ship doctor, missionary, and cook.

If each extraordinary class wants to be promoted, in addition to the necessary magic potions, they also need to constantly take risks and experience at sea to digest the magic potions in the body, otherwise they will not be promoted.

This is another factor why sailing has become a top priority in this world.

Picking up the bottle of navigator's potion, Li Jiu subconsciously shook it gently. The liquid inside was swaying rhythmically and did not stick together.

Good news?

However, the simulation also said that you can be promoted by drinking it, so this thing should not expire.

I'm just a little uneasy. I don't know how long this stuff has been there and what it tastes like. It must be extremely disgusting.

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more disgusting I feel, so just get started.

After opening the sealed bottle cap, Li Jiu stopped smelling the potion and drank it in one gulp.

Unexpectedly, the smell is not that pungent, and the taste is not that bad. It can even be said that it tastes good?

It tasted like some kind of mead, and he even wanted to have another glass.

No wonder potions are often called the wine of eternal life in the sea. Is this the original saying?

There was no time to think about anything else, because Li Jiu felt as if his soul had left his body. He gradually began to fly, as if he was floating on a vast and boundless sea.

There was the sound of wind in my ears, and it seemed like something was whispering constantly.

The color in front of his eyes slowly changed from pitch black to bright, then to azure, then to blood red.

Then he felt that his flying speed was getting faster and faster, and countless broken pictures continued to slide quickly in front of his eyes. His whole head began to feel suffocating and painful, and finally the pain was almost exploding.
