The historians of various countries in the northern continent have recognized that the Quaternary period is shrouded in a thick fog, which makes it impossible to see the real appearance.

There are too many gaps and ambiguities in all aspects of this history, and there are very few tombs, ancient cities and documents unearthed to form effective corroboration.

But this does not mean that no one has done relevant research, and the scarcity of them means that there are still some relics and materials after all.

Originally, Klein was an avid fan of Quaternary history, and he read a lot of papers and books, and he still remembers a lot of them:

Whether it is the Solomonic Empire, the Tudor Dynasty, or the Trentaux Empire, they all have a similar architectural style, which is characterized by an architectural style that defies common sense, is messy and asymmetrical, and loves black.

Among them, the most representative are the candlesticks that hang from the ceiling and the chopping pattern imprints on the black walls.

Because of this, when Klein raised the lantern and saw the metal rods spreading down from the dome and the candlesticks embedded in their bases, his first reaction was that this underground structure belonged to the Quaternary Period, to the ancient time shrouded in a thick fog that many historians and archaeologists regretted.

"Several papers have mentioned that the number of candlesticks is different in different buildings, and that the three empires, while advocating asymmetrical beauty, seem to have strict and meticulous rules in all respects...... Left 3 and right 2 are the highest specifications that ordinary people can enjoy, judging from the architectural pattern and the legacy of the house......" Crane raised his arm, raised the lantern high, and walked slowly forward, counting the candlesticks on both sides.

The hall was wider than he expected, and he walked at least a hundred meters before he saw the platform in front of him, which was half a meter above the ground, and only then did he see the heavy wall that marked the end.

"There are 41 upside-down candlesticks on the left, 40 on the right, this, this is a bit exaggerated, which class does this belong to......? They are also a powerful and terrifying family of extraordinary people, and the other great nobles should not be bad......" Crane held the lantern and continued to move forward, seeing the staircase on the side of the half-high platform, and saw the marks of a knife and axe on the black stone bricks on its surface.

Is it really a relic of the Quaternary Age? Klein's thoughts flickered, relying on his keen eyesight, relying on the light of the horse lamp, he found that on the platform half a meter above the ground were placed two iron-black seats, huge seats, ancient seats, looking down on the seats below.

Two whole ones!

Two of them? Why are there two? According to the layout, the seats here should belong to the highest and most powerful person in this place, but there are two of them? Two of the great nobles, two counts, two dukes, two princes? Klein slowly felt that his knowledge of history was starting to run out.

He clearly remembered that many papers mentioned that there was a strict hierarchy within the three empires of Solomon, Tudor and Trenthorst, and that there should be no parallel chieftains within a power.

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

"What's so strange?" suddenly an illusory voice sounded behind him, and it seemed extremely frightening in the dark, wide, empty and silent ancient hall.

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

"It's very well ventilated, I don't know if there are other entrances. ”

The bodyguard lady, who was half-integrated into the darkness, listened quietly and silently, looked at Klein deeply and said:

"Why do you know so much?"

Because I'm a history student...... Klein complained in his heart and smiled:

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

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

Crane carried the lantern and followed closely behind, and found that the half-height platform was very large, nearly 40 meters horizontally and 10 meters vertically.

"The grandeur and enormity of the architectural style is also one of the characteristics of the Quaternary period. He said casually, 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 to sit on...... The back of the chair has a coat of arms-like pattern, and on this side is a black crown...... Here's a hand holding a scepter...... I don't know what they symbolize......" Klein said to himself, not expecting Miss Bodyguard to answer.

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

"This is the coat of arms of the Tudot family. ”

"Huh?" Klein looked in amazement, and saw that Miss Bodyguard was referring to the hand holding the scepter.

The Tudor family?This is the remnant of the Quaternary Tudor dynasty?Which member of the royal family is this?Crane frowned slightly, and said:

"Do you know the other badge?"

Tied with the members of the Tudor family!

The bodyguard shook her head and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Klein had no choice but to give up the idea of research for the time being, and instead said:

"After the Tudor and Trenthorst families established their empires respectively, they both maintained the original style derived from the Solomonic Empire, such as the inverted candlestick, the chopping brand, etc., etc., which does not conform to normal cognition, 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 the three empires have a hidden, unchanging connection?"

He guessed that Solomon, Tudor, and the Trenthorst family all had the "Black Emperor", that is, the "lawyer" pathway, and a similar style was needed to play!

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

"Only an emperor can be called an emperor. ”

Crane didn't ask any more questions, and circled around the two huge iron-black seats, carrying a lantern, and found nothing more.

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

Before he could finish speaking, the bodyguard lady had already floated towards the end of the half-height platform on her own, but the coldness and coldness around her had not changed.

After walking a few meters forward, Crane saw seven tall and heavy black stone doors on the wall at the bottom of the hall by the light of the horse lamp, which were arranged in sequence, two on the left, one in the middle, and four on the right, which perfectly matched the Quaternary pursuit of asymmetry.

Crane handed the cane to the hand of the Tima lantern, tossed a coin at random, and whispered silently:

"It should start on the left. ”

Zheng!

The bronze penny tumbled and fell into his palm, the figure facing upwards.

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

The bodyguard followed silently, and it was not until she approached the door on the far left that she suddenly said:

"It's the same from the right. ”

In other words, it doesn't matter if you are divination or not...... Crane curled the corners of his mouth, raised the lantern, and examined the symbols and patterns on the door:

The dark black base is brightly embellished, and the half-obscured circle is clustered.

This...... Klein's pupils contracted suddenly.

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

In the Quaternary period, the Church of the Goddesses supported the Tudors, and he thoughtfully pressed his hand against the stone door.

Stab!

With a jerky and heavy grinding sound, the black stone door slowly opened back.

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

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

Crane walked cautiously forward, holding up the lantern so that it could illuminate the things above the platform.

After a few seconds, a fire-colored glow outlined a huge statue that was four or five meters long and almost filled the end of the room.

It was a hazy but unusually beautiful lady with her right hand on her head, lying on a platform, wearing a cascading but uncomplicated black classical dress, with a radial circle of circles under her head.

On this lady's dress, there was a little glitter, which was a shard of clear and brilliant gemstones.

At first glance, Klein is like seeing the night and the stars.

In this way, the circle under the lady's head resembles a full moon.

This...... Crane's mind seemed to be frozen and frozen, but there was a speculation in it that was rushing wildly and was about to break out.

"Goddess of the Night?" said Miss Bodyguard's tone with a rare doubt.

It seemed to be a statue of a goddess, both symbolically and practically! Crane's guess finally took shape and echoed loudly in his mind.

He remembered asking Captain Dunn Smith about one of the differences between the evil gods and the righteous gods, that is, the former had the image of an intelligent being, while the latter had a symbolic emblem!

And today, at this moment, in this ancient, strange underground building, he saw a statue suspected of being the goddess of the night, a complete humanoid statue!

What this meant, just thinking about it, made Klein shudder.

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

No...... Maybe it's some other evil god in the realm of the night...... But the dark emblem at the door was no different from the current one......

In other words, having the image of an intelligent creature is not the criterion for distinguishing between good and evil gods? After all, the captain is not at the level enough and does not understand accurately enough.

It is also possible that someone from the Tudor family deliberately blasphemed the goddess!

Well, maybe it's some weird ritual to set up here!

Thoughts jumped in Klein's heart, making him both confused, apprehensive, and tense, and he felt a strange feeling that could not be described here.

"Let's go behind a few more doors and have a look. Looking around, Crane, who had not found anything else, took a breath and took the initiative to speak.

I don't know what the remaining six doors correspond to, and if they are equally evil and weird...... He thought to himself.

The bodyguard nodded slowly.
