Lord of the Mysteries

Chapter 47 The Weird Statue

The historical circles of all countries in the North and the Continent all agree that the Quaternary Epoch is shrouded in a thick fog, making it hard for people to see the true appearance.

There are too many missing and ambiguous records in all aspects of this period of history, and there are very few unearthed tombs, ancient cities and documents, which cannot form effective proof.

However, this does not mean that no one has done relevant research. It means that there are still some relics and materials after all.

The original Klein was an avid fan of Quaternary history. He had read a lot of papers and books, and now he still remembers a lot:

Whether it is the Solomon Empire, the Tudor Dynasty, or the Trunsost Empire, they all have similar architectural styles, which are characterized by unreasonable, messy asymmetry, and love of black.

Among them, the most representative ones are the candlesticks hanging from the ceiling and the chopping patterns on the black walls.

Because of this, when Klein raised the lantern and saw the metal round rods spreading down from the dome and the candlesticks inlaid at their bottoms, his first reaction was that this underground building belonged to the Quaternary Epoch, and belonged to the shrouded period. The thick fog has caused many historians and archaeologists to regret the ancient times.

"Several papers have mentioned that the number of candlesticks in different buildings is different. Although the three empires advocate asymmetrical beauty, they seem to have strict and detailed regulations in all aspects...Left 3 The second on the right is the highest standard that ordinary people can enjoy, judging from the architectural pattern and the legacy of the house..." Klein raised his arm, raised the lantern, and walked forward slowly, counting the candlesticks on both sides.

The hall was wider than he expected. He walked at least a hundred meters before he saw the platform half a meter above the ground in front of him and the thick wall that marked the end.

"There are 41 inverted candlesticks on the left, and 40 on the right. This, this is a bit exaggerated. Which class does this place belong to? Great nobles? Hey, the Antigonus family and the Zaratul family are all nobles of the Fourth Epoch...they At the same time, it is also a powerful and terrifying Extraordinary family, and other big nobles should not be bad..." Klein held up the lantern and continued to move forward. He saw the steps on the side of the half-height platform, and saw the black stone bricks on its surface cut by knives. Ax-like brand marks.

Is it really a relic of the fourth era? Klein's thoughts flickered,

Relying on his keen eyesight and the light of the lantern, he discovered that there were two iron-black seats placed on the platform half a meter above the ground, huge seats, ancient seats, overlooking the seats below.

A whole two!

two? Why are there two? According to the layout, the seats here should belong to the person with the highest position and the most power here, but there are actually two? Parallel nobles? Double earls, double dukes, double princes? Klein gradually felt that his historical knowledge was not enough.

He clearly remembered that many papers mentioned that the three empires of Solomon, Tudor, and Trenzost had strict hierarchical divisions, which were clearly defined and insurmountable. From this theory, within a power, there should be no Tied collar.

"Strange..." Klein mumbled, as if to tell Miss Bodyguard.

"What's so strange?" Suddenly there was an illusory and erratic voice behind him. In the dark, spacious, empty and silent ancient hall, it seemed extremely eerie.

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched, and he truthfully told the other party the shape and features he observed, the corresponding historical knowledge, and doubts, and added at the end:

"The ventilation here is very good. I don't know if there are other entrances."

The bodyguard, who was half into the darkness, listened quietly, took a deep look at Klein and said:

"Why do you know so much?"

Because I am a college student in the history department... Klein complained in his heart, and said with a smile:

"If I hadn't chosen to be a detective, maybe I would have become a young historian with a conscience."

The lady bodyguard didn't respond, and didn't disappear again, and floated onto the half-height platform first.

Carrying the lantern, Klein followed closely behind. He found that the half-height platform was very large, nearly forty meters horizontal and ten meters vertical.

"The grand and gigantic architectural style is also one of the characteristics of the Fourth Epoch." He casually mentioned a word, and cautiously came to the two huge iron-black seats, lifted the lantern, and examined it carefully.

"It seems to be for a giant of three or four meters... there is a badge-like pattern on the back of the chair, here is a black crown... here is a hand holding a scepter... I don't know what each symbolizes What..." Klein said to himself, without expecting the lady bodyguard to answer.

However, the lady whose feet were floating off the ground suddenly spoke:

"This is the coat of arms of the Tudor family."

"Ah?" Klein looked around in amazement, and found that Miss Bodyguard was referring to the hand holding the scepter.

Tudor family? Is this the relic of the Tudor Dynasty in the Quaternary? Which member of the royal family is this palace? Klein frowned slightly and said:

"Do you know the other badge?"

To be able to rank alongside members of the Tudor family!

The bodyguard lady shook her head and said nothing.

Seeing this situation, Klein had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of ​​research, and said instead:

"After the Tudor and Trunsost families established their respective empires, they both maintained the original styles from the Solomon Empire, such as inverted candlesticks, chopping brands, etc., etc., which do not meet the normal recognition. You know, if I were the emperor, even if many things had to be inherited from the previous ones, I would still make certain changes to mark my own specialness."

"Does this mean that the three empires have hidden, unchanging connections?"

He guessed that the Solomon, Tudor, and Trenzost families all mastered the "Dark Emperor", that is, the "Lawyer" approach, and a similar style was required for acting!

Miss Bodyguard was silent for a few seconds, and spit out a few words:

"Only an emperor can be called an emperor."

This confirms my thought? Klein didn't ask any more questions. Holding the lantern, he circled around the two huge iron-black seats, but found nothing extra.

"Let's take a look further," Klein suggested.

Before he could finish his sentence, the bodyguard lady had already drifted to the end of the half-height platform, but the coldness and coldness around her remained unchanged.

After walking several meters forward, Klein saw seven tall and heavy black stone doors on the wall at the bottom of the hall with the help of the lantern. Siji's pursuit of asymmetry.

Klein handed the cane to the hand carrying the lantern, tossed a coin at random, and said in a low voice:

"It should start on the left."

Zheng!

The copper penny tumbled and fell into the palm of his hand, face up.

"Let's go to the left." Klein took the lead.

The bodyguard lady followed silently until she got close to the door on the far left, then she said in a flickering voice:

"Same from the right."

In other words, it doesn't matter if it's divination or not... Klein raised the corner of his mouth, raised the lantern, and examined the symbols and patterns on the door:

The base is deep black, embellished with bright lights, surrounding the half-covered crimson circle.

This... Klein's pupils suddenly shrank.

This is the holy emblem of darkness! This is the symbol of the goddess of the night!

In the Fourth Epoch, the Goddess Church supported the Tudor dynasty? He put his hand on the stone door thoughtfully.

tie!

Amidst the jerky and heavy rubbing sound, the black stone door slowly opened back.

The light of the lantern shone in, and the scene inside was outlined in Klein's eyes little by little:

First there was an open space several meters long and wide, also paved with deep black stone slabs, and then there was a platform nearly one meter high.

Klein walked forward cautiously, and raised the lantern so that it could illuminate the things on the platform.

A few seconds later, a huge statue was outlined in fire-colored light. It was four or five meters long and almost filled the end of the room.

It was a lady with a hazy but extremely beautiful face. She was lying on the platform with her head supported on her right hand, wearing a layered but uncomplicated black classical dress, and there was a circle of radiating lines under her head.

On this lady's dress, there are dots of brilliance, which are bright and bright gem fragments.

At a glance, Klein seemed to see the night and the stars.

Against this background, the circle under the lady's head was like a full moon.

This... Klein's thoughts seemed to have been frozen and frozen, but there was a guess in it that was rushing wildly and was about to break out.

"Evernight Goddess?" Miss Bodyguard's tone was filled with rare doubts.

Regardless of the symbolic meaning or the actual performance, this seems to be a statue of a goddess! Klein's guess finally took shape, echoing loudly in his mind.

He remembered that he once asked Captain Dunn Smith about one of the differences between evil gods and righteous gods, that is, the former had images similar to intelligent beings, while the latter could only symbolize holy emblems composed of symbols!

But today, at this very moment, in this ancient, weird underground building, he saw a statue suspected to be the goddess of the night, a completely humanoid statue!

What does this represent, just thinking about it makes Klein shudder.

Could it be that the goddess was once an evil god?

No...maybe other evil gods of the night realm...but the dark holy emblem at the door is no different from the current one...

In other words, having the image of an intelligent creature is not the criterion for dividing righteous gods from evil gods? After all, the captain's level is not high enough, and his understanding is not accurate enough.

It is also possible that members of the Tudor family deliberately blasphemed the goddess!

Well, it may also be to arrange some weird rituals!

Thoughts jumped in Klein's heart one by one, making him puzzled, apprehensive, and tense, and also felt that there was an indescribable and indescribable weird feeling here.

"Let's go to another few doors and take a look." Looking around, Klein, who didn't notice anything else, took a breath and said proactively.

I don't know what the remaining six doors correspond to, whether they are equally strange and weird... He thought quite solemnly.

Miss Bodyguard nodded slowly.
