Chapter 47 The Weird Statue

The historical community of various countries in the Northern Mainland China is generally recognized as the Quaternary period shrouded in thick fog, making people unable to see their true appearance.

There are too many deficiencies and ambiguities in all aspects of this history, and there are very few unearthed tombs, ancient cities and documents, which cannot form effective evidence.

But this does not mean that no one has done any related research. The very few means that there are still some relics and materials after all.

Originally, Klein was an avid fan of Quaternary history. He had read a lot of papers and books. Now he still remembers a lot of content:

Whether it is the Solomon Empire, the Tudor Dynasty, or the Trenzoster Empire, they all have similar architectural styles, which are characterized by architectural styles that are contrary to common sense, messy and asymmetrical, and love black.

Among them, the most representative one is the candlesticks hanging from the ceiling and the chopping pattern marks on the black walls.

Because of this, when Klein raised the lantern and saw the metal round poles spreading down from the dome and the candlesticks embedded at the bottom, his first reaction was that this underground building belonged to the Quaternary period, which was shrouded in heavy fog, which made many historians and archaeologists regret it.

"Several papers have mentioned that the number of candlesticks inside different buildings is different. Although the three empires advocate asymmetric beauty, they seem to have strict and detailed regulations in all aspects... Left 3 and right 2 are the highest specifications that ordinary people can enjoy, which is judged from the architectural layout and the legacy of the house..." Klein raised his arm, raised the lantern high, and walked slowly forward, 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, and the thick wall marking the end.

"There are 41 inverted candlesticks on the left, 40 on the right, this is a bit exaggerated. Which class belongs to here? Great nobles? Near, Antigonus family and Zaratu family are all Quaternary nobles... They are also powerful and terrifying extraordinary families, and other great nobles should not be bad..." Klein held up the lantern and continued to move forward, seeing the stairs on the half-high platform, and seeing the marks like a knife and axe chop on the black stone bricks on its surface.

What a Quaternary remains? Klein's thoughts flashed, leaning against his keen eyes and the light of the lantern, he found that on the platform half a meter above the ground were two iron black seats, huge seats, and ancient seats, looking down at the seats below.

Two full pictures!

Two pictures? Why are there two? According to the layout, the seats here should belong to the one with the highest power in this place, but there are actually two pictures? The great nobles who are tied with each other? The two earls, the two dukes, and the two princes? Klein gradually felt that his historical knowledge was beginning to be insufficient.

He clearly remembered that many papers mentioned that there were strict hierarchical divisions within the three empires of Solomon, Tudor and Trenzost, with distinct hierarchical divisions and insurmountable. From this theory, there should be no juxtaposition of leaders within a force.

"Strange..." Klein muttered, saying to the bodyguard.

"What's strange?" A illusory and erratic sound suddenly sounded behind him. In the ancient hall with wide darkness and empty silence, it seemed particularly creepy.

Klein twitched the corners of his mouth, telling the other party truthfully about the shape characteristics he observed, corresponding historical knowledge, and doubts, and added at the end:

“The ventilation is very good, I don’t know if there are any other entrances.”

The bodyguard, who was half-integrated into the darkness, listened quietly and looked at Klein deeply 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 conscientious young historian."

The bodyguard did not respond and did not disappear again. He floated up to the half-high platform first.

Klein carried the lantern and followed closely behind, and found that the half-height platform was very large, nearly forty meters horizontally and ten meters vertically.

"The grand and huge architectural style is also one of the characteristics of the Quaternary period." He casually mentioned, carefully approaching the two huge iron black seats, lifting up the lantern, and carefully examining them.

"It seems to be for the giant three or four meters to sit... There is a badge-like pattern on the back of the chair, and a black crown on this side... This side is a hand holding a scepter... I don't know what it symbolizes..." Klein said to himself, without expecting the bodyguard to answer.

However, the lady with her feet floating off the ground suddenly spoke:

"This is the badge of the Tudu family."

"Ah?" Klein looked in shock and found that the bodyguard was referring to the hand holding the scepter.

Tuduo family? This is the remains of the Tuduo dynasty in the Quaternary period? Which member of the royal family is this palace? Klein frowned slightly and said:

"Do you know another badge?"

He was actually able to be on par with members of the Tuduo family!

The bodyguard shook his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Klein had to give up the idea of ​​research for the time being and instead said:

"After the Tudor and the Trenzoster family established their empires, they both maintained the original style of the Solomon Empire, such as the inverted candlesticks, the mark of chopping, etc., etc. This is not in line with normal perception. If I were the emperor, even if many things had to be inherited from the previous ones, I would make certain changes to identify my own specialness."

"Does this mean that there are hidden, unchanging connections in the three empires?"

He speculated that Solomon, Tudor and the Trenzoster family all had the "black emperor", that is, the "lawyer" approach, and similar styles were the need for playing!

The bodyguard was silent for a few seconds and spit out a few words:

"Only the emperor can be called emperor."

This confirms my thoughts? Klein didn't ask any more questions, carried the lantern and turned around two huge iron black seats, without any additional discoveries.

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

Before he finished speaking, the bodyguard had already floated to the end of the half-high platform, but the coldness and coldness around him had not changed.

After walking several meters forward, Klein saw seven tall and heavy black stone doors on the wall at the bottom of the hall, which were arranged in sequence, two on the left, one on the middle, and four on the right, perfectly in line with the Quaternary pursuit of asymmetry.

Klein handed the cane to the hand holding the lantern, threw a coin at will, and whispered:

“It should start from the left.”

Zheng!

The copper penny rolled and fell, falling into his palm, and the portrait looked upwards.

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

The bodyguard followed silently until he approached the door on the left, and said frivolously:

“The same goes from the right.”

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

The dark black base is decorated with bright colors, surrounded by the half-blocked crimson circle.

This... Klein's pupils suddenly contracted.

This is the Holy Emblem of Darkness! This is the symbol of the goddess of night!

In the Quaternary period, the Goddess Church supported the Tudor Dynasty. He pressed his hand thoughtfully on the stone gate.

tie!

Amid the heavy and awkward friction, the black stone door slowly opened backwards.

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

First, there was a clearing of several meters long and wide, also covered with dark stone slabs, and then a platform nearly one meter high.

Klein walked forward cautiously and raised the lantern to let it shine on the things on the platform.

A few seconds later, a huge statue was drawn with a tiny glow, four or five meters long and almost occupied the end of the room.

It was a lady with a hazy but extremely beautiful face. She lies on the platform with her right hand, wearing a layered but not complicated black classical dress, with a circle of radiant lines under her head.

On the lady's dress, there were light and bright pieces of gems.

At first glance, Klein seemed to have seen the night and the stars.

With this contrast, the round shape 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 inside that was rushing wildly and was about to break out.

"Goddess of the Night?" The bodyguard's tone contained a rare doubt.

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

He remembered that he had asked Captain Dunn Smith, one of the differences between evil gods and righteous gods, that is, the former has an image similar to a wise creature, while the latter has only a holy emblem composed of symbols!

And today, at this moment, he saw a statue suspected to be the goddess of night, a complete human-shaped statue in this ancient and weird underground building!

What does this mean? Just thinking about it makes Klein shudder.

Did the goddess once be an evil god?

No... Maybe it's the evil god in other night fields... but the dark holy emblem at the door is no different from the current one...

In other words, having the image of a smart creature is not a standard for distinguishing the righteous gods and evil gods? After all, the captain is not at a high level and does not understand accurately enough.

It is also possible that the Tuduo family deliberately blasphemed the goddess!

Well, it might be a strange ceremony to be arranged through this!

One by one, one thought jumped in Klein's heart, making him both confused, nervous, and tense, and felt that there was a strange feeling that it was indescribable and indescribable.

"Let's go behind the other doors to take a look." After looking around, Klein, who had no other discoveries, took a breath and spoke actively.

I don’t know what the remaining six doors correspond to, whether they are equally evil and weird... He thought seriously.

The bodyguard nodded slowly.
