Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 291 University of Michigan Professor
What made Amanda a little curious was that the ship of Theseus that set off this time was not the 4th or 8th squad that he was familiar with, but the legendary first squad.

Among all combat teams, they are the most powerful and the busiest.

In nearly two years at the school, Amanda had only met their captain twice.

Follow the continental shelf of the American continent all the way up to Alaska.

They will temporarily rest here, and then directly cross the strait, which is basically the same as the last time they resisted Kraken, but it will go deeper later.

On the surface, there are only these teams, but in fact, there are a large number of logistics supplies on the land and they are preparing to go all the way to the Northern Maple Leaf Country through the land, where they will start setting up a camp.

Because this expedition is close to the Pole, as long as it reaches the Arctic Circle, the distance to the Pole from any direction is almost the same.

All countries with scientific research stations in the polar circle have agreed to set up reception areas at their material stations to ensure that if there is any unexpected retreat, personnel will be received no matter which direction they go.

After about 6 days of sailing, they docked in the only area where the ship can stay in the port.

If they go further north, there will be no ports in the entire polar circle for docking, and they will have to rely on themselves.

The flat land behind the port is where their main camp was established. It was originally a scientific research station to investigate nearby primitive tribes, and it originally had some material reserves.

Coupled with the support of secular governments in various countries, they will soon be able to establish a complete logistics base.

Amanda was no longer able to be affected by the weather, but he still changed into the winter uniform of the combat team.

The professor and Qi Wen were called to a meeting, and Amanda was allowed to wander around.

In fact, his authority is already very high, but he has not used it much.

He walked up to the nearby sentry post and looked around.

There are actually not many ice floes floating on the long coast of the Far North.

It's just that the whole weather looks very dim, everywhere is gray, even if there is no cloud in the sky.

After all, this is just after winter, and in the center closest to the polar circle, there may even be polar night.

In the direction of their target, there is no problem that can be seen with the eyes for the time being.

He began to observe the area around the flat land.

Gradually, undulations began to appear in the distance. On the gentle slope, several people wearing heavy animal skins and holding spears were watching from a distance.

Compared with the familiar flat land, Amanda noticed that these people cared more about the Ship of Theseus docked at the port.

It seems to be the primitive tribe that was originally going to be studied here. They live in harmony with the examiners, and they also exchange some items.

This time I saw the strange and civilized people I was finally familiar with suddenly changed their appearance. They were completely different. I don’t know what they were thinking, but the previous scientific expedition team members should have said hello to them.

He recalled some anecdotes. It was said that in the original world, during World War I, the pilot's crashed plane flew over a remote island and was worshiped as a god by the local primitive people.

What did they think when they saw such a big ship?
"No matter what you do, your college is really grand. In the past, when you went to explore and investigate somewhere, at most a few people like us were enough. Now with such a big battle, even a fool will know there is danger at a glance."

While Amanda was observing, a strong voice came from behind. An old man wearing a thick scientific examination uniform without a hat, showing his white hair, gradually came over. He looked very strong.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is John Milton. You can call me John or Milton. I am a professor of sociology at the University of Michigan."

Amanda raised her eyebrows, the big one?

In the Cthulhu Mythos, Miskatonic University is located in the so-called Arkham, a land of great people.

Their professors or investigators are often caught up in various strange families or disasters. Although they often fall over, they actually have many victories.

The most famous one is the man + dog from the University of Michigan, who killed the descendant of Yug, one of the three pillar gods.

However, being able to meet professors from the University of Michigan here does not mean that the investigation of the so-called primitive tribes here may not be purely scientific, but also has a certain strange background.

Thinking of this, Amanda asked straight to the point:
"Let's get straight to the point, Professor Milton. Did you find any abnormalities in your sociological research on the local primitive tribes?"

Milton was a little stunned and said:
"The people in your college are so impatient and utilitarian. Come on, you should be able to find some information. These primitive tribes are called Eskimos. In fact, some of them to the south have even integrated into the local people. urban life. But those in the north still adhere to the way of life passed down by their ancestors. As one of the few tribes with recorded beliefs in evil gods, their gods have been converted. For a long time, at least for 300 years, there has been no If you find any flesh-and-blood sacrifices or behaviors that violate human ethics, cough--"

The professor said a little too much in one breath, coughed a few times, and then said:
"That's 300 years. You should also know that even in the process of the development of civilized cities in the interior of the land, there are still some small tribes that roam around and use those cruel and bloody sacrifices. This place is located on the edge of civilization, and they can actually With such perseverance, to be honest, I don’t think there will be any problems anymore.”

Amanda thought carefully about the professor's words and murmured:
"I hope so. By the way, you said they are a tribe with clear records of belief in evil gods, but I don't know any information."

Amanda thought that he had read almost all the records and books of the academy, and did not feel that she had missed anything.

As one of the few primitive tribes that completely corresponded to his own world, the Eskimos had been carefully examined, but he did not find any unusual records.

Milton suddenly showed a mysterious smile when he heard this, and whispered:
"What if all the records you can access were written by me?"

Amanda suddenly raised her head and stared into the old man's eyes, only to find that they were still the normal bright brown color, and Omega didn't notice anything unexpected.

Milton burst out laughing:
"Hahaha - I know you people in the academy are too sensitive. Just kidding, most of the gods have been converted. The Eskimos have been regarded as normal primitive tribes since a long time ago. Our The target is actually only a few of their successors."

"Heir?"

"Yes, the god is dead, but his influence still remains in the world. The influence of the ancient bloodline does not disappear so quickly. If Yog can give birth to ugly children with humans, then other weak gods can also do it. He They left some of their own blood in the world. The most famous ones are those in Greek mythology, the demigods."
