Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 367 Qiuqiu people, dependents of the Elephant God
"It seems that Ludwig had already investigated some situations before sending you here."

Gascoigne calmed down and looked at Amanda with strange eyes, even a little envious, and said: "When many young people learn the names of the old gods, they don't shy away from it and say it directly. In fact, Yes, because many gods, whether they are the old gods that we cannot understand or the so-called local civilization gods, have been converted, so it is not a big problem for you to call them by their names. But we old guys have been trained since childhood. , and the oath we keep, we can’t even call these enemies of mankind by name. Maybe the future will really belong to you young people, let’s start from the fact that you don’t regard gods as such noble beings.”

Amanda nodded slightly. Many old guys seemed to be stuck in the past just because they had been accustomed to the original rules for too long.

If the old people are not willing to make changes, at least they can understand the young people, maybe the world will have a lot less conflicts and disputes.

The three men approached Chadwick, whose surname was Taylor, derived from the Old French meaning tile-layer.

It is said that there was a British Queen who also had Taylor in her name.

"Hello, Chadwick Taylor, I am Anduin Taylor. As you can see, our last names are the same. I am from France, and I am determined to find the blood relatives of the Taylor family who are living abroad. Our family has declined, The remaining treasure requires enough heirs to share the tax expenditure. Everyone only needs to pay 30.00% of the property they inherit, so that each of us can get more legal property. If the number of people inheriting the property is smaller, Even if it’s just me, then I have to pay 70.00% of the property, I can’t even sell my castle, and I have to pay maintenance fees every year.”

Amanda came right away. When he was reading in the college library, he had learned about many cases of ancient noble property inheritance in European and American legal systems, and knew the secrets inside.

The descendants of Whiteland focused on the development of new industries and colonial trade, rather than such a burden inherited from their ancestors, and there may be considerations in this regard.

"How about, come with me to France, inherit your share of the property, and you can escape from a life of poverty. Even if you are physically disabled, you can still find a wife to take care of you." Amanda felt that cheating was a bad behavior , but Paris has been blown up, and every piece of land in Paris no longer exists in a material sense. It will not be a problem to ask the academy or Dick to ask for a nominal piece of land to leave to the non-existent Taylor family. no.

If Amanda looked back at her account carefully, she would find that the income from comics, Dicko's play performances, and cards and other peripheral sales have made him considered a rich man.

Unfortunately, since he joined the college, he almost always eats in public cafeterias, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation are very simple, and the college reimburses him.

For a while Amanda felt like she had no savings, but he didn't care.

Gascoigne did not stop Amanda from deceiving him. In his eyes, Chadwick was someone who would be hunted by him after asking for some valuable information.

Chadwick didn't feel any embarrassment, or the joy or vigilance that country folk would show after hearing the news.

He just collected the chopped firewood indifferently, and then stared directly at Gascoigne, not Amanda.

A low growl came from his throat instead of the language humans used to communicate.

Chadwick slowly lifted up his shirt, revealing many traces of bite wounds.

An exaggerated smile appeared on his face, carved like marble, an arc that human lips could not bend.

Gascoigne sneered a few times, and said: "I reminded you, these filthy people are irreparable. It is futile for you to spend so much time trying to make up a lie to convince these monsters."

The priest decisively pulled out the dagger from his waist, and the sacred lines on it shone brightly in the daytime.

pat!

There was the sound of the door being opened next door, and an old woman staggered, holding a shovel in her hand. Her face was also twisted into a stiff and pale marble-like bloodless color, revealing a creepy smile.

clatter!clatter!clatter!clatter--

More old people and children came out, as if the people in the house before were these monsters, just pretending to live a normal life.

"Hahaha, look, how ignorant these people are. This guy received blood therapy when he got blood thirst, and other normal people think that drinking his blood can relieve their own hidden dangers. As you said, it is like God's blood, according to ancient records, the servants of the God of Elephant are all polluted human beings, who can no longer even be called human beings, but Qiuqiu people. Their bodies will become smaller and smaller, Until ossification becomes a slave of blood, all the blood in the body is dedicated to the elephant god, and he is reduced to a sculpture-like dwarf without blood."

Gascoigne was very excited. In his eyes, there was no difference between old people and children. They should be hunted by him.

"It's different from the people who turned into beasts before." Amanda thought.

Ansha, who has been silent, explained: "Least transformation and zombie transformation are the most basic evil god pollutions. Many evil god pollutions can cause these symptoms at the beginning. In terms of biological classification, they can also be considered as human body structures. . However, if the concentration of the blood therapy injected is too high, it will be closer to the original posture of the owner of the blood and become a true dependent. I think people who receive blood therapy in areas close to the city are only experiments with the lowest concentration. And these remote areas The area, or even the entire village, has been captured, and that is the blood therapy whose concentration meets the conversion standard."

Amanda nodded but didn't answer.He settled down and asked Omega if there was any possibility of saving these people.

"Dagon's dependents are the fishmen of Innsmouth. Even if they are half human before reaching adulthood, they will gradually turn into half-human, half-fish monsters after adulthood, which is irreversible." Omega explained. , with a somewhat calm tone, "These guys are no longer human, they are real dependents. They may be able to return to human form without stimulation, but once outsiders appear, they will be transformed into dependents."

So, this is when they first arrived, they could still see so-called normal people, but after Chadwick was stimulated, it was like a response, and these infected people became the servants of the elephant god, heading towards Qiu Qiu people's direction is "evolution".

"Then we can only kill them all? Is there no room for communication at all? In this case, we will lose track of the cultists who perform blood therapy."

"We can only eliminate them all, Amanda. You should understand Gascoigne's extreme intention to kill all these contaminated lives. Maybe when he was young, he also tried to save these lives, but in the end he caused It was only because of the greater losses that he became so obsessed with killing pollution.”

Omega comforted Amanda and asked him not to have any psychological burden.These Banqiuqiu people can be regarded as the second type of followers of the evil god they have seen.

　Currently known descendants of the evil god:

　　Dagon Innsmouth: Murloc (a classic Western horror half-human image, completely opposite to the mermaid)
　　The Elephant God Fang Geng·East Asian Plateau Region: Qiuqiu People (the original work is this name. Due to the limitations of the concept of the times, Luo's mythology is a race with a bit of prejudice against East Asians. However, according to the setting, no matter which race the Elephant God After infection, they will gradually turn into Qiuqiu people)
