Chapter 217 The Constantine Family
"These don't seem to be the eight ancient gods from the mythology of Silver City."
"Only elves and giants can be roughly matched here."
Audrey counted on her fingers; among the eight ancient gods recorded in the mythology of Silver City were dragons, elves, giants, vampires, demon wolves, and phoenixes.
There are only elves and giants on it; the other evil gods look somewhat like humans.
Is this the legendary elf? She's so beautiful.
Audrey couldn't help but take a second look.
Miss Hall had never seen an Asian face before in her entire life.
As a fairly good "painter," she was able to discover that the elves' faces in the mural were extremely exquisite, so exquisite that they were almost perfect. Even if she tried to make slight modifications with her paintbrush, she could not change them at all; the outlines and lines were impeccably perfect.
"The World" Klein noticed that no one seemed inclined to speak, even the angels were simply gazing silently at the mural, so he cleared his throat and said:
"I've seen similar statues."
At this point, how could Klein not tell that those demonized evil gods were either the "Six Gods" or possibly the "Seven Gods"?
brush!brush!brush!
All eyes in the Tarot Club turned to them.
"I saw a similar statue during an adventure exploring the ruins of the Fourth Age."
"The world," Klein explained.
Audrey was very interested in this, and she asked directly, "Mr. World, would you be willing to share some of the findings of your exploration?"
I can pay the appropriate compensation.
"No need, because I also have questions that need answering."
"The World" said with a gloomy smile.
He pretended to ask the "Fool," and then materialized the statues and symbols of the "Seven Gods."
Pillowed by the full moon, dressed in elaborate attire, adorned with countless stars, bathed in the holy light of the night.
Clad in storms, standing on ocean waves, surrounded by thunder, the Storm Saint Emblem.
Audrey and Alger immediately focused on the most familiar part, then looked at the mural of the evil god on the other side.
The gloomy woman surrounded by eyes was actually a monster with an octopus head and deformed legs.
These two relatively devout believers were somewhat shaken, even Alger, who had at least been a believer in the Lord of Storms for so many years.
"Hmph, this is blasphemy against the goddess."
Audrey gave a soft snort. After all, the true creator symbolized evil, so the meaning of such a mural must be interpreted in reverse.
In the eyes of followers of this evil god, perhaps only their Lord is righteous and perfect.
Since the mural depicts the true creator sacrificing himself to save humanity, the actual content should be that a terrifying evil god attempting to destroy the world was defeated by 6...
The Seven Gods, ruthless wolves, suppressed them.
But who is that unfamiliar elf god?
"If the figures in the mural are distorted images of six gods, then it matches."
"But who is the seventh deity?"
"I've never heard of elves..."
Alger's tone was filled with doubt. In the face of this unfamiliar god, even the fact that the six gods had once had human forms seemed insignificant.
"This emblem is also different from the steam emblem, and even different from the emblem from the period of the artisan church."
"Where is the god of steam and machinery?"
Fors, a novice follower of the God of Steam, asked with suspicion as she looked at the elf holding a transparent scroll in the mural. She wondered if the God of Steam, who had never responded to her, had another set of symbols in the Fourth Age.
"Legend has it that the god of steam and machinery, also known as the god of craftsmen, was not born until the Fourth Epoch. His birth point seems to be in the late Fourth Epoch, rather than the early or middle period... And this relic..."
Alger looked uncertainly at "the world," his tone inevitably carrying a hint of anticipation.
Alger was always powerless against this kind of topic.
"I found two coats of arms in the ruins."
"But I don't know him."
"The World" Klein was somewhat helpless as he materialized the two emblems.
A black iron crown, and a hand holding a scepter.
"Does anyone here know him?"
Klein looked around and saw the blank expressions on everyone's faces. He knew that asking was pointless and could only place his last hope on the "angel".
One Trensost, one Tudor?
But does it look like it?
Chael was speechless when he saw the two emblems.
His collection included Fourth Age Thodol coins, with the Thodol emblem depicting a crown with a draped cloak.
As for the Black Iron Crown... how shameless must the Trensault family be to dare to compete with the Solomon family for their crest?
He knew what ruins Klein was exploring, but the two emblems were not from the United Dynasty period at all.
"One is the Solomon family, and the other is..."
Xia Er paused for a moment, then said in a somewhat enigmatic tone, "The Constantine family."
Seeing "childhood" graffiti across generations is still quite novel.
When the principality was first established, national flags were not common in the Northern Continent; family crests were more popular.
At the time, Xia'er was still circling around the Storm Path. The Storm-related elements could not be used because they would easily clash with the Storm Church. So, on Arrodes's advice, he just drew something more intuitive and imposing.
Anyway, he drew it early, so if the later extraordinary families still have any shame, they will most likely choose other emblems, right?
"The Constantine family?"
How come I've never heard of it?
Fors recalled that it was a rather unfamiliar name, far less famous than the Solomon family.
Unlike medical student Fors, history graduate Klein, after figuring out the specific meaning of the two badges, immediately understood something and then explained in a hoarse voice:
"Constantine, that's how it's pronounced in Old Fussac."
"In Ruen, it is often translated as Constantine."
If the occasion had allowed, Klein would have liked to memorize those related papers.
"I have heard that during the Fourth Age, the Constantine family served as the White Emperors of the Solomon Empire for a long period of time."
Alger intended to say monopoly, but in the Fourth Age, the great nobles did not seem to have any concept of monopoly.
When Klein and Alger mentioned it, Audrey understood first, and Fors then made sense of it.
Compared to the rulers of the Solomon Empire, the Black Emperor Solomon family, while the title of White Emperor is also recorded in history, the name of the Constantine family is not so well-known.
Many other viewpoints suggest that the White Emperor was not fixed, but rather appointed by each generation of Black Emperors to assist the Solomon family in managing the entire Solomon Empire.
In the eyes of some scholars of the Fifth Age, the White Emperor may also be a special honor for the top military nobles at that time. In order to balance the military power, the Solomon family conferred the title of White Emperor on different military nobles in each generation.
"Since the coats of arms of the Solomon and Constantine families have appeared, this relic is most likely a relic from the early to mid-Fourth Age, during the Solomon Empire."
"And if the God of Craftsmen had not yet been born at this time, who exactly was this being?"
Alger's breathing became rapid; he felt as if he were about to touch upon some truth of history.
