Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 98 What unofficial history?

Chapter 98 What unofficial history?

After saying goodbye to Yumilia, they entered the exhibition hall.

The expo encompassed the entire King's Road, divided into an inner and outer area. The inner area, located inside the Century Tower, featured various performances and even rarer exhibits.

The Century Tower took five years to build and can be said to be a building prepared by the Kingdom specifically for this expo.

Entering the interior of the Century Tower is like stepping into an ancient temple. The tall, magnificent halls and a row of massive marble columns make you feel as if you're about to ascend to the Pantheon.
This modern building has a retro interior design.

The theme of this expo is "Guardians of Civilization," which, to put it simply, means that Fein wants to showcase his historical heritage to the world.

As soon as Caesar entered the building, he saw a huge statue more than 30 meters tall standing in the center of the hall. Looking at its appearance, he couldn't say it resembled him; it was more like they were completely unrelated.

But this is the statue of Emperor Rean the Great, the man who unified the world.

He didn't blame later generations for sculpting him like this. After all, he had never liked portraits or sculptures. They could only establish his actual image based on a few portraits, sculptures, and written descriptions. With some artistic embellishment, it basically had nothing to do with him anymore.

And the row of Eldarian celebrity sculptures below are all similar; their real appearances are vastly different from the sculptures.

After they arrived, they were assigned to work, basically sent wherever they were needed, running back and forth throughout the venue.

However, these were all small tasks such as greeting guests, showing the way, and delivering things, which didn't tire me out.

The venue was incredibly crowded, and each exhibit stand resembled a stage, illuminated by brightly colored lights that lit up the various exhibits. Some even employed glamorous women to attract attention, which seemed completely out of place in this grand palace of classical art.

This expo is also an opportunity for major companies to advertise their new products, and several of the world's leading companies are participating.

As Caesar passed by the technology exhibition area, he suddenly saw the logo of the Hayworth car brand at one of the exhibits, and there were quite a few people gathered around the booth.

Curious, he walked over and saw a middle-aged man with short, dark blond hair on the display stand, introducing a silver, round-headed sedan with no wheels to the surrounding tourists.

This car really does look like a futuristic car from an 80s Hollywood sci-fi movie, and this man...
Caesar discovered that the middle-aged man giving the commentary on stage was none other than Peyton's eldest son, Everley.

"This is the latest concept car from Hayworth, a hovercar that integrates futuristic technology! Yes, perhaps in a few decades, our cars will be driving in the air! It will be safer and more stable!"

On the stage, Everley shouted, then pressed a button in front of him. The silver car hummed and emitted a plume of smoke, actually lifting off the ground and hovering a short distance.

The tourists below also applauded and cheered.
But just a few seconds later, the car crashed to the ground with a thud, bursting into sparks.

Faced with such a mistake, Efrey smiled and said to everyone, "I told you, it would take another ten years or so, right?"

This hovercar attracted considerable attention, and Efrey personally explained it to potential investors.

At that moment, he noticed a pair of eyes watching him from not far away. When he looked over, he saw the black-haired boy turn around.

He didn't care too much.

After walking around, Caesar found that the technology exhibition area was truly imaginative. The most eye-catching item was the giant power furnace launched by the Surna Heavy Hammer Energy Company. This thing was more than ten meters tall and composed of nearly a hundred engines, looking exactly like a steel behemoth.

Of course, there were also some refreshing and unconventional ones. For example, there was a platform that displayed new types of stockings. They found several women with long, slender legs and had them sit on a high place to show off their long legs in stockings of various colors to the crowd below.
Can stockings be considered a technological product?
As he strolled around, he came to the sculpture exhibition area, where statues of famous figures from various dynasties were displayed, and below them were glass display cases containing some of their personal belongings.

Caesar spotted several familiar faces among them, including Galicia, a short, taciturn man now a world-renowned legendary general. Even Finn has an aircraft carrier named after him. Galicia's past achievements certainly justify the praise he receives. He was the commander-in-chief in the war against the demons, and his contributions were indispensable to Eldaria's victory over the powerful demon Savier. He was second only to Sothos in merit.

Moreover, this guy was the kind of person who simply loved leading troops into battle, and his pursuit of power was only based on the deployment of troops. In the end, after fighting all the battles he could in his life, this old man simply started his retirement life, and even the marshal's sword and armor bestowed upon him gathered dust.

History books say that this old man's last major battle was the suppression of the Fanit rebels. Later, during the reign of Rean II, he even served as a marshal for a period of time. However, with a new emperor ascending the throne, he knew that he, as an old minister of the old dynasty, could not stay in the royal court. After a few years, he resigned from all his posts, refused the rich territory granted to him by the second emperor, and returned to the small piece of land that Rean had been given to him when he was still a lord, where he lived out the rest of his life in peace.

The display case contains his former military flag, embroidered with a large antlered deer holding a dagger, which has now faded.

This old guy used to say that he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to leave them and go solo during his mercenary days, but in the end he still passed on his Wuxiang Tianyu qualification to his descendants.

"What a wretched old man," Caesar said, shaking his head.

He walked over and saw the statue of Sothos again.
To be honest, it doesn't really look like it. It's too fair-skinned; it seems like they just wanted to make it look handsome.

The display case contains a quill pen that he used during his lifetime. With this pen, he drafted the first legal code of the Empire for Rean.

Looking further ahead, there is a statue of Grace.

Caesar could sense that they wanted to mold Grace into the image of the Virgin Mary, and the statue did indeed appear plump and beautiful. However, in reality, even after becoming queen, Grace remained a thin woman. Caesar urged her to eat more, but even with a dedicated nutritionist, it was to no avail.

In her display case was a pair of faded pearl earrings. Grace was not a person who liked to wear jewelry, but Caesar often saw her wearing these earrings. When asked, she would just say that she just put them on casually, that they were simple and not so flashy.

This girl is something else; even as an empress, she can't bear to enjoy a good life.

Caesar's thoughts were still on the past when he heard the conversation of two men beside him:
"In fact, if you learn more about history, you will discover many viewpoints that will overturn your understanding."

"For example?"

"Actually, Sothos and Rean are brothers. Otherwise, why would Sothos's uncle accept both of them? Back then, food was scarce everywhere, and every extra child meant another mouth to feed. So it must be because they were from the same family, and Rean happened to be the eldest brother, so he was later made emperor."

Caesar's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "What kind of nonsense is this guy spouting?"

"Also, there's Greta. She's actually a little younger than Rean; she's Rean's illegitimate daughter!"

"Holy crap, no way?"

"Think about it, Rean was just a mercenary back then, barely able to survive, yet he had a young girl with him, and it wasn't for lust. It must be because of her status that Rean couldn't refuse her. She must be an illegitimate child. And marrying her later was just for show. You see, they never had a child together, right? It's because Rean only raised her as a daughter in the palace."

Where did you learn all this?

The man said rather smugly:
"Hey, you'll know if you read more books. I consider myself a history enthusiast. Oh my god! Who threw that bucket?"

Just as he was feeling smug, a bucket of water placed in the corner was suddenly dumped on his head, soaking him completely.

Caesar silently withdrew his spell, snorted, and left the scene.
