Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1342 1314. Goal

"So you are fine now." Master William nestled in the rocking easy chair and said slowly. "You can even say it's just right! Just right!"

Lan En's [Spiritual Vision] is just right.

His vision is high enough to see Master William's 'real appearance', but he didn't absorb too much of the local truth from the deep world of Yharnam as 'nutrition'.

It has little to do with the land of Yharnam, the ancient gods, and the superiors.

After a few words of negotiation, Lan En, who put his hand on the back of the easy chair, nodded silently, as if he had understood something.

"It seems that you can see far with these eyes, Master."

The demon hunter said calmly.

"Not much, not much." The old man smiled tremblingly in the gentle shaking, "I just saw some fragments, but they are just fragments."

"I even have to let you come to me before I can finally confirm that your vision is far enough."

Lan En asked immediately: "Then you must also know my goals and current difficulties."

"Yes, yes, I know everything." Master William still responded slowly.

But Lan En lowered his head and looked at the old man curled up in the recliner.

"I don't doubt your foresight and arrangement. After all, your vision is higher than mine now."

The demon hunter first spoke to Master William sincerely and humbly, but then changed the subject.

"But you haven't entered the realm of the ancient gods after all, right? Then why can't the ancient gods see what you can see?"

Lan En's [Spiritual Vision], the novel incentives and nutrients needed to improve, can still be accumulated from the journey of many worlds.

But Master William must have conducted research and discoveries in Yharnam to improve to this level.

If his vision is comparable to that of the ancient gods, then according to his theory of [Spiritual Vision], possessing the same vision as the ancient gods is equivalent to being equal to the ancient gods in life form.

He will become the new ancient god.

But now let me tell you a cold joke: he obviously doesn't want to have a child of his own.

"Caution." Master William first commented on Lan En's questioning, "Caution is a virtue."

"If Lawrence and Miklash were not so anxious, and were as cautious and prudent as you, then Yharnam might be much better now."

"Child, have you considered coming to Byron Weiss for further studies?"

Lan En tilted his head, looked at the huge full moon on the lake outside the terrace, and sighed: "Now is not the time to joke, Master William."

"Hehe."

The old man's turbid throat laughed.

"But just like you take my words as a joke, don't the ancient gods think we are a group of 'jokes'?"

Lan En nodded calmly and rationally, and the expression on his face was as if the words comparing him to a 'joke' were just a breeze.

"You want to say that the ancient gods despise us, so they don't pay attention to us. But this is still not enough."

The enemy's contempt is not worth getting angry about, on the contrary, it is a card that can be used.

Lan En does not reject the enemy's contempt, anyway, in the end it will be a life-and-death battle, what does the enemy's emotions have to do with him?

The enemy is dead, why should the dead care about him?

If you are dead, then you don't need to care.

So now, Lan En is not unhappy or resentful at all, he is just thinking about what Master William said.

I am not afraid that the enemy despises me, but I am afraid that this 'contempt' itself is false.

"Of course this is not enough." Master William did not avoid the question, but agreed with Lan En, and then continued. "But that's not all the reasons."

"You ended the deepest and most terrifying nightmare in Yharnam. Tell me, what did you see?"

"The destruction of old Yharnam." Lan En calmly described what he saw and heard in the nightmare.

"Because of the great sin of murdering the Son of God, the premature Son of God and the great god Kos brought down a blood curse. This curse will continue until all future generations will pay the price."

As he said this, Lan En lowered his head and looked at the metal eye mask on the old man's face.

"In terms of time, you should be the one who knows everything."

"Yes, I know everything." Master William admitted directly. "I even know that my students searched the fishermen's brains to verify the theory of [clairvoyance], which had not been proven at that time, when they massacred the small fishing village."

"They thought that the fishermen who became half-fishmen were already the followers of the great god Kos, so they should have [Inner Eyes] in their brains. I didn't expect that they would actually look for [clairvoyance] in the literal sense."

[Inner Eyes] is another description of this transcendent sense in Master William's [clairvoyance] theory.

But obviously, people who have embarked on the path of 'enhancing and evolving their own blood' under the leadership of Lawrence cannot understand the true meaning of this theory.

They just look for [Inner Eyes] in the literal sense.

"But it was these hunters who successfully murdered the premature son of God, didn't they?"

Master William uttered cold words at the corner of his mouth, but at the same time outlined a peaceful smile.

The sense of conflict in this is particularly strong.

"You can say that the orphan was born prematurely, so he has no sound strength, or that the ancient gods are more fragile in childhood, and so on. But."

Before the old man continued, Lan En narrowed his eyes slightly and took over the conversation.

"But, according to your [Spiritual Vision] theory, the most important thing about the ancient gods is not the so-called body, and the strength of the body, that is not their essence."

"[Personality] and [Vision] are the differences in the essence of life."

"Yes." Master William praised with satisfaction, "Look, child. Even if you haven't received systematic training in Byron Weiss, you have begun to understand."

"If you are obsessed with pure physical evolution and physical strength, then Lawrence's path of evolving his own blood is obviously correct, isn't it? But what is the result?"

Like a teacher who guides students step by step, Master William said in a tone of teaching students.

And Lan En is undoubtedly the kind of excellent student that all teachers dream of.

"Ruthless evolution is the fall of mankind." The demon hunter quoted a motto left by Master William slowly and heavily.

"So how do you think the orphan of Kos died?"

The scepter in the old man's arms swayed with the recliner.

He repeated what he said to the young man when he first sent Lan En away from Byron Weiss.

At that time, he revealed the truth about Yharnam to the young man.

"Every ancient god is eager for a child, but he is jealous and wary of ancient gods other than himself getting a child."

"From the moment Kos had the Son of God, He was actually no different from dead. Can you understand?"

It was not the hunter who really killed Kos.

Lan En's lips trembled, but in the end he just nodded.

The biggest gap between the ancient gods and humans lies in [personality] and [vision]. Although the orphan of Kos was born prematurely, was young, and lost the protection of his mother.

But He is still a high-level life equal to the ancient gods.

Because the two most critical points were born with him.

Rather than saying that the hunters murdered him on that dirty beach, it is better to say that since the Healing Church discovered his existence, the ones who really wanted to kill this Son of God have always been other ancient gods at the same level of life as him.

And the curse that was cast because of the murder

After Master William's confirmation, Lan En had some guesses.

At the end of him, Maria and Adeline leaving the nightmare, German said, "In this nightmare, he repeatedly gave the last blow to kill the Son of God to Ludwig", and the curse was indeed shared by Ludwig.

By analogy, it is hard to say whether the old hunters who were trapped in that nightmare and tortured repeatedly were also pushed up by some ancient god who took action at that time to share the power of the curse cast when the Son of God died.

"I understand."

Lan En's hand gently left the back of the recliner and said in a deep voice.

"You mean the internal fighting among the ancient gods is getting more and more intense."

"But precisely because it is intense." Master William added with a smile, "we, the humble creatures with narrow vision, have a chance."

"It seems that you have determined the situation." Lan En half-crouched his tall body beside the rocking chair, and his armor 'clicked' under his movements.

"Tell me, who is your chosen target? Who should I deal with?"

Like a student eager for knowledge, the young demon hunter asked Master William sincerely.

"."

Without a verbal response, the old man on the rocking chair just silently turned his head to the huge full moon on the lake.

"Really?" Lan En also looked up and looked at the huge moon, "I haven't heard of it. I thought it would be Orton or something like that, the kind with a good reputation."

"Precisely because of his reputation and long history, his method of craving for children is not the most radical. It can even be said that it is precisely because of the margin brought by strength that his method is the most stable."

Master William shook his head and said.

"Ancient Gods, multiple Ancient Gods. You shouldn't be so naive as to think you can clean them all up at once, right?"

"We can only prioritize the most critical and dangerous one. He may not be the most powerful one, but he must be the one who makes the situation the worst."

"At least, let the dream end first."

"Totally agree." Standing up on his knees, Lan En's negotiation with Master William has come to an end.

They have reached a basic mutual trust and confirmed the feasibility and specific goals of the action.

"Where should I find Him?"

"You know that place." Master William whispered like a dream, his body rocking slowly with the rocking chair, "You got an exquisite doll there, remember, kid?"

The demon hunter nodded calmly, and then walked towards the terrace, the building of Byron Weiss without looking back.

"One last question, Master William."

"Ah, please go."

The old man on the rocking chair said tepidly.

"What are your plans after the dream ends?" Lan En stood at the dividing line between the terrace and the building, and said in a low voice, "We are going to kill one. Can you bear it?"

"No, I'm not worried about that, kid." The old man still spoke slowly, as if even his reaction had aged.

But the old smile on his face never changed.

"My vision has grown so deep in Yharnam that it is too deeply involved and entrenched. Moreover, this is the doctrine I created."

"It deserves a witness. A martyr."
