Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 366: Territory Past and Patients, Traces of the Elephant God

The two patrolmen, Scar and Enzo, were surprised that the two sides, who had just been fighting and wanted to kill each other, suddenly sat down and had a cordial conversation.

However, it was clear that the levels they involved were already beyond the reach of ordinary patrols. Enzo also took the initiative to ask if he needed to go to New Birmingham to ask the patrol headquarters there for support.

However, Father Gascoigne has always been arrogant. He believes that he can handle all the contaminated individuals by himself.

They set out at first light the next day.

There are no smooth roads like those in the city in the suburbs, and there are no railways passing by. They can only take the carriage that Ska found and have to return it in a few days.

The place they were going to couldn't even be called a town, just a small village.

In the distance, the village houses called Whiteland can already be seen.

There used to be lords protecting this place, but more than 300 years ago, the local lords, the White family, went to engage in maritime trade.It is said that some descendants of the White family were even governors of Tianzhu, the Peacock Kingdom.

They brought back a lot of treasures from that distant oriental colonial country, some of which were not of high value, or they didn't know what they were, so they buried them underground in the original territory.And those precious spices and gold were accumulated as wealth, which made the White family relocate to near London, where they had a prominent position politically and economically.

However, those descendants didn't care about the family's original small territory at all. They rented suitable land to the factory built in Birmingham and just collected rent every year. No one from the White family came back for decades.

It is said that because they are now new nobles, they are taboo about their family history, which was just a small lord in the past, and they do not mention it much.

These are the results of Gascoigne's previous investigation. He also came to another conclusion. Some of the strange things that the colonists under the White family brought back from Tianzhu may have been cursed, so they were buried underground. Such a taboo spreads within the White family, so naturally no one wants to come back.

When these clues are gathered together, it can be concluded with a high probability that under the experimental plot of the water pump factory built on the original White family territory, the water sources that may be contaminated from time to time are due to the evil that was originally buried underground. caused by things.

Amanda couldn't help but sigh that the priests of the Knights Hospitaller were as good at investigating things as the college's occult professors. During the time they were hunting those contaminated individuals, they had already roughly constructed the whole story.

In this case, when the clues are concentrated, the best way is to directly excavate the land of the water pump factory.

By then it will be clear what is underground.

However, if the underground water source comes from other places, we will have to look elsewhere.

There are no high mountains nearby, only a few hills, and the search range is not large.

It was not until almost noon that the carriage arrived at Whiteland.

The atmosphere here is even older than the town of Louisiana, and you can even see pure stone houses that have been handed down from the Middle Ages.

Most of the wooden houses are very old, and the whole village looks lifeless.

There are not many pedestrians on the street, because those who go out to herd sheep will not come back until evening. The young people have gone to work in factories in the city, and only the elderly and children stay at home.

Children of school age were not at home at this time. If it weren't for the smell of fireworks from each house in the chimney, Amanda would have thought this was an uninhabited village.

White collar is dotted with seven villages, this being the third largest and closest to New Birmingham.Seven villages guard the original lord's small castle. The castle area has been demolished and three factories have been built. The emissions are relatively large and cannot be too close to the city.

The water pump factory is one of them. Compared with the so-called thirsty pollution, the smoke and wastewater emissions with excessive metal content caused by processing water pump components are issues that people should be more concerned about.

It's just that for people in the countryside with lower cognitive levels, they still have a certain amount of pressure to survive, and they are not yet able to care about these things.

Some villagers have some ship objects in their yards, and they are all very old. Gascoigne said that those items with some cultural relic value have been collected by antique dealers over the past few hundred years.

The remaining pieces of scrap metal are worthless except for their age.

In the past, there were villagers who felt that these ancestral items were of some value and would display them in their yards waiting for collectors passing by to pick them out.As time went by, it became rotten.

After turning a few corners, we arrived in front of a building. A middle-aged man with a strong physique but a somewhat twisted body was trying his best to chop wood with his only arm that could move normally. The posture of his other hand was twisted into Similar to the limb segments of ungulates, they are bent backwards, making it difficult to move.

"Chadwick, in the records I found, was one of the patients with thirst who received blood therapy. When he was just sick, he even attacked a buffalo, causing his arm to be crooked. After receiving blood therapy, His spirit has improved a lot, and as long as he doesn't realize that he has been contaminated, he may be able to continue living like this until he turns into a beast at some point."

Gascoigne spoke from a distance, as if he were appraising an animal about to be handled rather than a patient.

Amanda confirmed: "Is it really hopeless?"

Gascoigne said disdainfully: "I really don't know what Ludwig taught you. Who knows what kind of blood the dark cultists injected into this poor man. Killing him is the best respect for him. Even if The serum sequence can't save him, do you think that people with the serum sequence can also bear the blood of the evil god, and then get the antidote?"

Amanda looked at Chadwick again. The man's face was calm. He didn't feel sad at all because of his physical disability, and he didn't have the negative emotions unique to disabled people.

"It seems that this is my distant relative. No matter what, I think I should try it. After all, they can ask some secrets while they are alive."

After hearing this, Gascoigne sneered and said: "You young people always think that the experience and judgment of us old people are not worth mentioning, so if you don't hit the wall a few times, you won't suffer."

Amanda was not angry at all and said: "Then let's make a bet. I can identify the source of the blood injected into Chadwick during the blood therapy."

Gascoigne looked at Ansha and laughed: "Actually, the eyes of the angels have confirmed that it is the blood of an old god. That's why I keep warning you that they are hopeless."

Amanda was a little helpless, and then added: "The god of elephants, Shaugnar Fagern, or Changner Fanggen, may have a slightly different pronunciation, but both of them refer to the legendary The elephant god has the ability to suck human blood."

He repeated the judgment gained from Omega's perception. A living descendant of the evil god was easier for Omega to identify than the beast that was hunted as soon as they met last night.
