This is where the "Tabula Akasha" collects world treasures. You should be the first human to ever set foot in this place.
With the dull thud of the door, the Kowloong's vault is opened for the first time in a long time. Every inch of the chamber is filled with treasures collected from all over the world.
Of course, compared with the records of your unsightly WGAA, everything lying here is a shining example of human existence. This makes it the greatest witness of the human era.
Human beings may only be a flash in the pan, but the fruits of their labor will turn into fossils and remain unforgotten.
I know everything here. If you are interested, you can ask me about their stories if you so choose.
This is the stone door to the tomb of an ancient general. It's carved with every battle he fought. Artisans even carved the mane of every warhorse in fine detail.
Insolent fool! I've never allowed anyone to approach me like that!
Forget it. But next time... I recall an exquisite pattern on the gallows you might be interested in having a closer look at.
Looks like that about wraps it up here. On to the next place.
Did you know? Brewing alcohol predates historical records. Humanity invented it even before iron.
This wine in my hand here is more than a thousand years old. It's no longer drinkable, but it still carries a strong aroma.
How can that be...? Has it lost its aroma?
That's most likely my perfume... It must have overpowered the wine's scent. It's a shame you can't smell the aroma from a thousand years ago.

This is a collection of relatively modern cultural relics. There may be some things you've seen before.
In the spotlight, one item seems out of place compared to the other treasures among the collection.
This was given by an ordinary girl from Kowloong...
Qu gently picks up the seemingly ordinary mechanical doll. You can now see that it is a peacock. She strokes the grooves on the doll and reminisces about in memories of the past.
She wanted to see the world outside Kowloong. Her dreams came true, but her story ended in tragedy.
No... I have no need for friends. Besides, she offered nothing of value as a friend.
Everything has value—much like these treasure. These are all priceless artifacts worthy of being passed down for all of eternity.
Qu clenches her fist around the doll, but quickly releases her grip in fear of damaging it.
This...
...
...
Enough...
Presumptuous fool! I command you... Shut up!
Just as you plan on continuing with your explanation, a bionic peacock suddenly flies at you, squawking and pecking at your head.
Huiyu?
Qu merely just grins and shows no intention of stopping it.
Keep going, Huiyu! Peck harder! Make this insolent fool pay!
Kaw! Kaw—!!
That's all for today. It seems that you are still a long way from becoming a qualified partner... Especially, when it comes to showing me respect.
