Chapter 89: After Nine O'Clock
Wendy's senior sister is very popular, and she is willing to draw at this moment, so naturally no one will object.
Someone even took the initiative to bring pen and paper and prepared painting tools for her.
The others just sat down, digesting the information they had received and waiting for the painting to be completed.
As mentioned earlier, this generation of young people has basically no understanding of God and is gradually losing their fear.
They generally think that God's time is over, and they don't expect God to show signs of resurrection in just a hundred yearsβor even that God hasn't really fallen.
Even among the dozen or so academies who are now participating in the reading club, only a few have detected signs of divine revival.
Wendy is a well-known talent in the academy, and she is particularly skilled in calligraphy and painting, and after only a few strokes, a rough outline of a creature jumps on the paper.
It was the same creature that Su Xian had seen with Professor Buck, somewhat similar, but different.
It was a very common thing for the records of legendary creatures to be different, so Su Xian was not surprised.
After about five minutes, Wendy's senior sister had already roughly drawn the appearance of the "God of the South Seas".
Only the details remain, such as scales, fins, tentacles, and other innocuous places.
"This is the god of the South Seas?"
Lily stood in front of Wendy, curling her index finger in the burgundy hair that hung down to her chest, feeling a slight shock in her heart.
The others were also seeing the so-called "sea god" for the first time, and they were all amazed at the moment.
β¦β¦
Wendy's sister sketched the surface of the sea with a stroke on the paper, and the "God of the South Seas" floating on the surface of the sea has a silhouette like a giant whale, but its mouth has been elongated to more than one-third of its body, close to the golden section.
Behind the corners of its mouth, there are three rows of three in each row, with nine fins on one side!
Underneath the bottom fins, there are thick tentacles, which are long and short, densely packed, curled under the abdomen, completely covering the entire abdomen.
But this huge and ferocious creature is only the "pedestal" of the "God of the South Sea".
On top of its head, it is also married to a half-body human body.
Wendy's sensal only sketched the shape of the human body with simple strokes, but it still caught the attention of most people.
β¦β¦
The so-called "gods" have different appearances, and there are only a few "gods" with complete human forms and human aesthetics.
The only thing they have in common is the possession of the priesthood and the ability to wield at least one or more powers that are akin to the law.
Before the advent of the age of the gods, human beings only identified and compiled gods from totemic documents, among which humanoid gods were the most easily accepted, thus deriving many myths and legends and historical allusions related to humanoid gods.
But when that day came, the first alien god suddenly appeared in front of humans, and its terrifying and hideous appearance directly frightened humans to not approach, and the huge body that could cause great damage just by acting brought endless despair and fear.
It was a very dark time for the entire human race.
In order not to be inadvertently trampled to death like ants, humans can only seek the protection of some gods to survive.
Just as man is tall, short, fat and thin, good and evil, good and bad, so is God.
Sheltered human beings dedicate their faith to God.
But not every god needed faith, and according to the god's preferences, humans had to offer sacrifices, and many of the exchanges that seem unthinkable today became sparse and commonplace at that time.
β¦β¦
The god of the South Seas is a life between a humanoid god and an alien god.
In nature, there is a creature called "Beauty Reef", which has a body composition that is very similar to that of the god of the South China Sea.
Beauty Reef resembles a reef, but a half-body in the shape of a beauty is attached to the reef-shaped body, and it is often active in the misty seas, specifically luring the crew to devour it.
"This god of the South China Sea may be the ultimate form of a similar species."
Su Xian couldn't help but think that when he entered the Graveyard of Gods, he received some knowledge about God, and he knew more than ordinary people, but it was still limited and he couldn't make a clear judgment.
Because there are too many possibilities for a life to appear.
β¦β¦
"Okay, this is the god of the South Sea."
Wendy put down her pen and took two steps back, revealing her painting completely.
A group of people competed around this picture and discussed, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.
After these people learned about the theme of the reading club, they were prepared in advance, and at this time, they shook out some of the secrets of the information they had collected.
Lily is in charge of the big picture.
Nancy weaves her way through the crowd, leading discussions and livening up the atmosphere.
Fran quickly and efficiently recorded important knowledge.
The trio has a clear division of labor, and the atmosphere of the reading club is getting better and better.
By seven o'clock, it was at its peak.
People gather in twos and threes, all talking about the God they are most interested in.
It was in this age that they were able to talk freely about God.
It's a pity that no one knows the information of the god of the South China Sea after that, even if it's Wendy-senpai, she just happens to have such a picture.
Su Xian didn't share the information he knew in the end, he was like Fran, constantly taking notes, trying not to miss any important knowledge points.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
By 8 p.m., the discussion had gradually subsided, and some people had begun to look for books of interest in the bookshelf area, while others had gone to restaurants.
Su Xian chatted with the only son of the baron's family named Harry, and then went out of the reading room together.
Candles have been lit on the lamps in the corridor, and the wind blowing in from the entrance of the corridor makes the candles sway, and the shadows of people are intertwined, showing teeth and claws.
Su Xian entered the restaurant, grabbed a dessert and coffee, and found a place to sit with Harry.
Harry asked, "Mark, what have you been up to lately, it feels like I haven't seen you in a long time." β
Both of them are frequent visitors to the reading club, so they naturally know each other.
Su Xian smiled and said, "I'm busy with something related to the theme of this reading club." β
"The things of God?" Harry was surprised, "You can really joke, we don't even have a church in Brut City, what else can we do with God?" And I didn't see you speak tonight. β
Su Xian ate a small piece of cake and said naturally: "My ambition is to become an antiquities appraiser, you know, the antiquities of that era were particularly difficult to identify." β
Speaking of this, Harry suddenly whispered, "Actually, I happened to get a relic from that era recently, can you help me identify it?" β
That's why you took the initiative to talk to me?
Su Xian nodded immediately: "Yes." β
