Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 128 Exploring the Delapore Family
The ship of Theseus sailed at its original speed, but did not return to San Francisco within seventeen hours.

After the threat of Dagon and the Sunless Sun receded, the Fourth Combat Team was in no rush to return.

The other two teams have returned and have re-entered preparation training.

According to Shi Zhong, the fourth team finally came out once. If they only did a rescue job, it would be difficult to write a summary report.

They improvised a mission and prepared to travel to Walter Delapore's hometown.

By the way, give Amanda enough time to recover.

The doctor estimated that within [-] days, Amanda's body would be able to recover as before.

If it is an ordinary person, it will take at least a year and a half to cultivate, and there will be sequelae.

This extremely powerful resilience can also correspond to the resilience of the two sequences in the academy.

The scene where the pigherd butcher commands the rats to hunt piranhas can't be covered up either, although it turns out Walter's rats didn't harm any humans.

But he was suddenly transformed from a human into a swineherd and butcher, and the change occurred without performing a flesh and blood sacrifice. It was enough to see that the bloodline inherited by the Delapore family must have been inherited from a very powerful evil god. .

He might even be the human descendant of this evil god.

Unlike the deep divers, who are all descendants of Dagon, the form of the Draper family obviously limits the strange bloodline to a certain range of fertility. Only direct bloodlines can inherit this talent, or it may be a curse.

What can do this is far from the power that a low-ranking old ruler like Dagon can touch.

The college and professors from the University of Michigan have exchanged some secrets about the evil god pollution incident that occurred in Dunwich. It is said that there are extremely noble descendants of the evil god, but they were bitten to death by several dogs in the end. (For details, see Cthulhu Mythos "The Dunwich Horror")
The various mysteries have yet to be understood. Now there is a clue that is suspected to be the descendant of a high-ranking evil god in front of us. It would be a pity not to take a look.

All the other servants of the Delapore family who were not seriously ratified were absorbed by the dark Tiga and became more savage.

However, they were still taken into custody by the Ship of Theseus, waiting for the secrets of the Delapore family to be confirmed before making a decision.

When Amanda learned about this, she was a little helpless.

In the Ke system worldview, why do we have to go to the root of it?
No one is dead anyway, why should you care about those things?

In Omega's perception, Drapore's transformation into a monster was purely due to the power of his own King Morant Arms, and the evil god named Naia was watching him.

It can even be said that it helped him obtain the transformation ability of Dark Diga, and he has not caused any trouble so far.

In the original Cthulhu mythology, Naija is also a god who can communicate normally with humans. It is said that some ancient civilizations and even atomic and nuclear energy technology were completed by him.

Amanda also realized that the black cat she met in the Delapore family was the incarnation of Naia.

But it's useless to think so much now.

After Gatannozoa wakes up, there is no way of knowing whether Naia will continue to be a fun person and even help him solve problems, or whether he will withdraw his power just to watch himself defeated.

No matter what happens, I still have Xiao Nai in my mind.

Omega described that if Nexus' power fully recovers, Naia will not be able to deal with him.

Not to mention Gatan.

But according to Omega's description, Xiao Nai was still in the giant cemetery-like scene, motionless.

Even when Amanda took the initiative to try Nexus' form coverage, there was no response.

Forget it, what if the Xiao Nai I met was a tsundere.

Amanda comforted herself in this way. By the time her body was able to move, Team [-]'s Ship of Theseus had already arrived at the hometown of the Delapore family.

The leader of this world is the Bretton Territory of the Empire, a remote suburban territory with many rocks.

When the ship of Theseus arrived at the port, the empire even sent a special affairs officer to contact them.

He also made insinuations and asked whether any evil god contamination incident would occur within the empire and whether it would affect the trade needs between the empire and other regions of the world.

Recently, South American cotton and cane sugar were in short supply in Europe, and the world slave trade only lasted a short time before it was forcibly stopped by the academy.

But even so, the current Belt and Road Initiative is still one of the countries with the strongest comprehensive national strength and is the economic center of the entire world.

After learning that it was a matter involving the Delapore family and that Theseus's ship was just passing by and not on a formal mission, the steward felt relieved.

He learned from his colleagues that the evil god pollution that the Ship of Theseus had to deal with would basically stop the local basic production system completely, and even that area would no longer be inhabitable for decades to come.

Although the Bretton Territory is not ranked high in the empire, the profits from foreign trade are enough to make the living standards of the entire territory live up to the name of the empire.

If there is no economic income all of a sudden, the local ministers will have no votes, and there is a risk of resignation.

The Prime Minister's Secretary in London would meet with the person he scolded in the past, and then chop him up to plead guilty to the Prime Minister.

After all, the empire will not fight against the academy because of dealing with the pollution of evil gods, but it is still handy to deal with the internal personnel to launch a few as scapegoats.

Shi Zhong led seven team members, Professor, Blake and Amanda, and the eleven people went to the old house of the Delapore family under the guidance of the tour guide sent by the steward.

It was already in ruins and was being planned by the affairs officials to transform it into a tourist attraction, or to sell it to other wealthy businessmen after repairs.

Now that the last heir of the Delapore family is also being imprisoned by the academy, and no other heirs suddenly appear after a period of time, the territory can directly accept the old house and do whatever they want.

Therefore, the affairs officer was very concerned about this matter and even prepared to arrive here in person the next day after finishing the work.

The tour guide introduced anecdotes about the Delapore family, which moved here more than 300 years ago.

There was originally a territory belonging to the family, until the plague outbreaks from time to time became more and more serious. People confirmed the existence of large-scale rat nests in nearby caves, and they were directly connected to the family castle.

Residents applied to secede from the jurisdiction of the Delapore family, and several branches of the family took advantage of the spring breeze of the world's market economy and fled to other places.

The last rat outbreak sickened everyone in the castle and surrounding lands, and within a few years everyone was dead.

Walter de la Pole rushed back from the small town of Louisiana and sold all his property. Except for the aristocratic title deed signed by the king, there was no way to transfer it, so he ran away again.

The local church in the empire came here to pray several times to ensure that the rat plague had been eliminated, and the threat was finally eliminated.

This is also the reason why the affairs officer covets this castle.

But Walter's brief return had apparently perpetuated the de la Pole family's curse.

He himself is in America, which may be the fundamental reason why there has been no rat plague in the family's old site for many years.

After finishing this series of things, everyone also arrived at the gate of the castle.

Omega has also sensed it. Except that there is a tunnel leading underground somewhere in the castle that cannot be seen clearly, there is no danger in the entire castle.
