This dragon girl raising system is a bit strange.

The basement was dimly lit, the floor was covered in dust, and there were cobwebs in the corners.

Thor went behind a wall, wiped away the dust, and revealed a faint magic circle.

This is a magic circle that can only be triggered by members of the Thor family.

In other words, neither the butler nor Julia can enter.

After this layer of authentication, there is a second-level basement.

He had heard his parents say that before.

When a member of the family encounters a life-threatening danger, or believes that their life is about to end.

Only then can one enter the second floor of the basement.

Each member of the family has only one chance to enter in their lifetime.

And now, Thor is about to go in.

He then activated the magic array, and faint blue ripples appeared on the wall.

Then, the original stone wall suddenly disappeared, and a narrow passageway tilted down to a deeper underground level.

He followed the ramp, feeling his way along the edge of the passage in the pitch black, heading deeper into the basement.

The basement on the second floor was even more damp and cold, with the air filled with a damp and musty smell, making it hard to imagine what could be stored in such an environment.

The road suddenly became smooth, and magical lights illuminated it.

After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, the sudden bright light was a bit dazzling, and Thor instinctively shielded his eyes with his hand, half-closing his eyelids.

After a while, he opened his eyes again.

A tiny room, barely big enough for one person to stand in, came into view.

The space was square, with only one iron shelf at the front. The shelf had three tiers, and some items were left unused on it.

He picked up a notebook from the top shelf; the cover and pages were yellowed, and it was a thick book.

I glanced through it casually; it contained records of the family's businesses.

On the surface, the official channels naturally record the spheres of influence of some families.

Compared to the publicly available list, this list contains some shady connections.

For example, the book states that when special treatment is needed, one can seek out Earl Oscar, and even marks it with a warning that the cost could destroy the entire family, and should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

Most other connections are like this too.

After all, they were nobles, and they always had some shady dealings. This book records these kinds of things.

Thor strongly suspects that many of the people on this list are on Enor's "purge list".

He was searching for a person's name in the book.

He found it very quickly.

Mavis Augustus.

A well-known arms dealer in the kingdom.

Not long ago, Thor mentioned Duke Raphael, who was indeed an enemy of the princess, but his combat strength was really weak and could not compare with the princess at all. He was just someone Thor mentioned to emulate.

But the Duke of Mavis was different.

He is the one in the kingdom who truly has the ability to shake the princess's rule.

Not only that.

Thor believes that, as of now, the Duke of Mavis has not been exposed.

The Duke of Mavis's aim was to overthrow the princess's rule and seize power.

He was not the only one in the kingdom secretly plotting to overthrow the princess.

Even more terrifying is that the Pope is also plotting a power shift targeting the royal family.

Of course, Thor thought Duke Mavis was better than the old charlatan.

Duke Mavis wasn't a good person either, but he was slightly better than the faction that would kill their own princess at the drop of a hat, and also better than the old charlatan who believed in divine authority.

The Thor family's handbook records the side business of the Duke of Mavis's family—assassination.

A true assassin.

That is why they dared to challenge the princess.

Thor noted down the coded message and location for future reference.

It's definitely not possible to contact them in the near future.

Even if you use a code, you can't avoid being tracked and suspected by the regulators.

Having figured out what he wanted, Thor closed the book and began to examine the other items.

The remaining items were equally shameful, mostly consisting of various books and notes.

The most perverse book is one called "The Love Diary of Alice Mary".

"I'm speechless. Isn't Alice Mary the former lord's wife?"

Thor could tell at a glance that this was the diary of his ancestor's affair with the former city lord's wife.

"My ancestors were truly a generation of extraordinary people."

He sighed in admiration while curiously wanting to see the contents of the book.

After all, books in the "Secrets of XX" format will always sell well.

Unfortunately, the sealing magic in the book rejected Thor on the spot.

This is a book that only the author can open.

"All my expectations were for nothing..."

I was really hoping to study hard.

With his hopes dashed, Thor reluctantly began searching for other things.

In a short while, he found many divine books, such as "On the Necessity of Lilies" and "About My 72 Wives and My Confessions".

Unfortunately, none of these books can be opened.

"This is really messed up..."

Thor didn't understand.

It's clearly unopenable, yet it's still sitting on the shelf taking up space.

He felt that the room was like a display room for trophies.

Their ancestors proudly told everyone about their divine deeds, constantly comparing and taking pride in it.

My great-grandfather said he had 36 wives, while my great-grandfather said he had 72 wives.

Everyone is terrifying.

This is a place you can only visit once in your life, and everyone treats it like this.

"Um?"

Thor's attention was drawn to a book.

The book is called "Time Diary".

"This is so refreshingly unique."

Compared to other graphic and disturbing content, the title of this book is so innocent it could be used as a children's textbook.

Curious, he touched the book's cover with his finger.

Surprisingly, the book seemed to open easily without any magical hindrance.

Thor began reading from the first page of the book, using the magical light from the ceiling.

The first page of the book contained only a short sentence, written in black ink on yellowed paper:

"The blood sacrifice was successful; healing will be a piece of cake."

Thor was taken aback upon seeing this.

Blood sacrifice?

Does my family have a tradition of blood sacrifice? I didn't know that.

He looked at the second page of the book, which also contained only one sentence.

"I wasn't killed by the Dragon Blood Dancer, I really am a gaming master."

and many more.

A gaming expert?

Isn't this what I loved to say most before I transmigrated?

I like to say this when I beat a single-player game or an online game and defeat someone else.

Furthermore, Dragonblood Dancer shouldn't exist in this timeline; that's Yulia from the future.

Thor frowned and turned to the third page of the book.

This time, there are two full lines of text.

"That saintess's ability is so annoying; even sixth-tier strength is nullified."

"Thankfully, I managed to escape."

Thor felt something was wrong the more he looked at it.

After this page, begin on page four.

Many pages were deliberately torn off, leaving only a few blank pages stuck to the spine of the book.

Dozens of pages were torn out.

After several dozen pages, the contents of the notes returned to normal.

The pages are intact, with black ink.

However, here the handwriting becomes crooked and the description becomes very simple, leaving only one line of text.

"The Thunderfire Sword is a good thing."

"If it weren't for the Thunderfire Sword, I wouldn't be alive today."

Thor gasped.

Are all of these my own equipment?

Then, countless more pages were torn out.

Only the last page of the entire book remains intact.

On the last page, the contents of the paper became more detailed.

"The secret to success:"

1. Don't think about going back to your parents for now; stay focused.

Thor fell silent upon seeing this sentence.

Go back to your parents?

A hypothesis arose in his mind.

Is the owner of the notebook himself?

"2. Prepare the Elars Crystal Gem and carry it with you; it will protect you."

What is the Elars Crystal Gem?

Thor searched his memory but couldn't recall the item.

He continued reading.

3. You can obey Enor, but don't trust her.

Thor would do the same thing without being reminded.

"4. Yulia is very important; you must get her help."

These are the four pieces of advice.

Below that, two more sentences were written.

"Don't be too nervous. You can succeed even without this notebook."

"I trust you."

That's all for this book.

Thor closed the book and carried it with him.

He was suddenly filled with a chilling thought, to the point that he began to question the meaning of life.

Could I really be John Farrell?

However, he rejected this answer.

I can't be John.

The phrase "go back to your parents" could not possibly be used to describe John, who died in the past.

John could not possibly know that he was a time traveler.

The term "gaming expert" is clearly only something that someone like that can use.

If the person who wrote the notes really was themselves.

Then something must have happened in the future.

He carried his notebook and walked down to the ground.

However, as soon as he left the room, he felt a strange sensation in his arms.

Reaching in to check, the "Time Diary" that I had just kept in my arms had turned to dust.

It seems that it will automatically destroy itself once you leave this room.

"This is really weird..."
