The historical circles of the countries of the Northern Continent all recognized that the Fourth Age was shrouded in a thick mystery. It's impossible to tell what it really is.
Historical records have too many missing parts and ambiguities for this historical period. There are too few tombs, ancient cities, and literature, which have been excavated to make an effective confirmation.
However, this does not mean that no one is conducting relevant research. Its rarity implies that there are still some relics and information left behind.
The original Klein was a fanatic of Fourth Age history. He often read journal articles and books, so even now, Klein still remembers a lot of content.
Whether it was the Solomon Empire, the Tudor Empire, or the Trunsoest Empire, they all had the same architectural style, architectural style as opposed to common sense, and they stand out because they often use black.
The most distinctive characteristics are the chandeliers hanging on the ceiling and the pattern markings of flowers cut on the black walls.
This was precisely why Klein's first reaction was that the underground structure belonged to the Fourth Age when he raised his lantern. He had seen a circular metal pole with a candlestick embedded at the bottom, which flowed down from the dome, reminiscent of the Fourth Age shrouded in mystery, he said, many historians and archaeologists regret the lack of knowledge in the ancient period.
Several journal articles have mentioned that the number of candlesticks inside different buildings is different. Although the three Kingdoms considered asymmetry beautiful, they seemed to have strict and meticulous rules in every aspect. Three on the left, and two on the right were the highest standards that ordinary citizens could enjoy. It was based on the structure of the building and the remaining house. Klein raised his hand and raised the lantern high. He walked slowly, counting the candlesticks on both sides.
The hall was even wider than he had expected. He had walked at least a hundred meters before he saw the platform half a meter above the ground. Only then did he see the thick wall that marked the end of the hall.
41 Flipped candlesticks on the left, and 40 on the right. T-this is a little overdone. What is this level of aristocracy? A powerful noble? Huh, the families of Antigonus and Zaratul are all nobles of the Fourth Age. The other noble families should be almost the same.Holding the lantern in hand, Klein continued. He looked at the stairs on the side of the half-high platform and saw abrasions on the black stone tiles.
Is this really the relic of the Fourth Age? A thought flashed through Klein's mind. With his sharp vision and the light from the lantern, he found two black iron chairs on the platform that were half a meter above the ground. The large ancient chairs face the other chairs below.
There are two seats!
Two? Why two? According to the layout, the seats here should represent the most powerful and authoritative person, but there are two? A powerful noble with the same strength? Double count, double duke, or double prince? Klein slowly began to feel that his knowledge of history was inadequate.
He vividly remembers that many journal articles mention that the three kingdoms—Salomo, Tudor, and Trunsoest, have strict hierarchies. Based on this theory, there should be no leader of equal standing within a faction.
"Any ..." murmured Klein, in a way that was meant for Miss Guards.
"What's so weird about that?" A subtle voice suddenly sounded from behind him. In the vast, dark, empty, silent ancient hall, this voice was terrifying.
Klein's mouth twitched as he explained the characteristics, historical knowledge, and puzzling points he had observed to him. He finally added, "The ventilation here is very good.I wonder if there is another entrance."
Miss Guards, who had mostly fused with the darkness, listened quietly as she stared intently at Klein.
"How do you know so much?"
Because I was a student in History. Klein swore in his heart before smiling.
"If I don't choose to be a detective, maybe I'll be a diligent young historian."
Miss Guards did not reply, nor did she disappear; instead, she floated onto the platform first.
With the lantern in hand, Klein quickly followed, finding that the platform was huge. It is about 40 meters long and 10 meters wide.
"The architectural style is grand and grand. It was also one of the hallmarks of the Fourth Age," he said casually as he approached the two large iron-black chairs carefully. He then raised his lantern and carefully examined it.
“It looks like it was meant to sit on top of a three-meter-high giant. On this side, it was a black crown. On the other hand, it was a hand holding a scepter.. I wonder what they symbolized themselves.." Klein said to himself, not expecting an answer from Miss Guards.
However, the floating lady suddenly said, "This is the emblem of the Tudor family."
"Huh?" Klein turned his head in surprise, realizing that Miss Guards was referring to the hand holding the scepter.
the Tudors? Is this the legacy of the Fourth Age Tudor Dynasty? Which member of the royal family owns this palace? Klein frowned and said, "Do you recognize the other emblems?"
To think that it was equivalent to a member of the Tudor family!
Miss Guards shook her head without a word.
Seeing this, Klein had to give up the idea of studying it for a while and said, "After the Tudor and Trunsoest families established their respective empires, they both maintained the original style that came from the Solomon Empire, they both maintained, like an upside-down candlestick, a scuff mark, and so on and so forth. This does not fit with common sense. If I were the emperor, even if I had to inherit many things, I would still make certain changes to mark my uniqueness.
"Does this mean that the three empires have hidden, unchanging connections?"
He suspected that the Solomon, Tudor, and Trunsoest families were using the Emperor of Darkness, which was the path of the Lawyer. A similar style is needed for acting!
Miss Guards remained silent for a few seconds before saying a few words, "Only an Emperor can be called an Emperor."
Is this a confirmation of my idea? Klein did not ask any more questions. With a lantern in hand, he circled two large black-iron chairs, but he found nothing.
"Let's look ahead" Klein suggested.
Before he finished his sentence, Miss Guards had already floated to the end of the platform, but the darkness and coldness around him remained unchanged.
Klein handed the wand to his lantern, tossed a random coin, and whispered, "I have to start from the left."
ding!
The copper penny fell down and landed on his palm, his portrait facing upwards.
"Let's go to the left." Klein leads.
Miss Guards quietly followed until they reached the door on the far left before saying subtly, "That's the same on the right."
In other words, it didn't matter if I did the divination .. Klein's mouth corner curved as he lifted the lantern and examined the symbols and patterns on the door.
Against a pitch-black background, it was a deep red crescent moon surrounded by a shining point of light.
This. Klein's pupils suddenly shriveled.
This is the Sacred Coat of Darkness! The Goddess Symbol of the Night!
During the Fourth Age, the Church of the Goddess Overnight had supported the Tudor Dynasty? He seriously placed his hand on the stone door.
scream!
The black stone door slowly opened amidst the rough and heavy grinding sound.
As the light from the lantern illuminated the room, Klein began to look at the interior, bit by bit.
There are several meters of open space at the entrance of — also paved with dark stone tiles — and a platform as high as almost one meter.
Klein carefully moved forward, lifting the lantern to illuminate the object on the platform.
A few seconds later, the radiance of flames formed the outline of a huge statue. It was about four to five meters long and almost filled the entire room.
It was a very beautiful woman with a hazy face. His right hand supported his head as he lay on the platform. She was wearing a classic black layered dress that was not too complicated. There was a circle of light radiating at the bottom of his head.
On this woman's dress, there were glittering spots of light. They are bright and shiny pieces of jewels.
At first glance, Klein felt as if he was looking at the night and the stars.
It is depicted with a circular shape under the female head that resembles a full moon.
Klein's mind seemed to freeze, but a guess instantly emerged from within.
"Overnight Goddess?" Miss Bodyguard's voice carried a hint of confusion.
Be it symbolism or its true form, it seemed like it was a statue of a goddess! Klein's guess was finally formed, echoing loudly in his mind.
He recalled asking Captain Dunn Smith about one of the differences between an evil god and a true god. The former was said to have an image that resembled an intelligent life form, but the latter only had a Sacred Emblem formed by a symbol!
But today, at this moment, in this ancient and strange underground structure, he saw a statue that looked like an Overnight Goddess.
What does this mean? Just thinking about it already made Klein shudder.
Could it be that the goddess was once an evil god?
No. gabe…. There might be another evil god entering into the night territory.However, the Sacred Emblem of Darkness near the door was no different from the one used today…
Or perhaps, having the image of an intelligent being was not the standard method of distinguishing between a true god and an evil god? After all, the Captain's level was not high enough, and his understanding of the situation was not necessarily accurate enough.
It is also possible that the Tudors deliberately blasphemed the goddess!
Yes, it can also be a way to set up some weird rituals!
Many thoughts flashed through Klein's mind. It made her feel confused, nervous, and tense. However, he also felt a strange feeling that could not be explained.
After looking around, Klein, who saw nothing, took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to the other door and see."
I wonder what it has to do with the other six doors. Would it be just as strange and evil.
The Miss Guards nodded slowly.
