Chapter 1342 1314. Target
"So you are fine now." Master William sat on the swinging easy chair and said slowly. "You can even say it's just right! It's just right!"
Lan En's [Spirit Vision] is just right.
His field of vision was high enough to see Master William's 'true appearance', but he did not take in too much of the local truth from the depths of the world as 'nutrition'.
It has little to do with the land of Yanan, or with those ancient gods and superiors.
After just 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 indeed see far with these eyes, Master."
The witcher said calmly.
"Not much, not much." Amidst the gentle shaking, the old man smiled tremblingly, "I just saw some fragments, but they are just fragments."
"I even have to let you come to me before I can finally be sure that your vision is high enough."
Lan En then asked: "Then you must also know my goal and current predicament."
"Yes, yes, I know it all." Master William still responded unhurriedly .
But Lan En lowered his head and looked at the old man nestled in the recliner.
"I do not doubt your vision and arrangements. After all, your vision is higher than mine now."
The demon hunter first said to Master William sincerely and humbly, but Then the conversation changed.
"But you haven't reached the realm of the Ancient Gods now, right? So why can't the Ancient Gods see the things you can see?"
Lan En's [Spiritual Vision] is needed for improvement. Novel inspiration and nutrition can be accumulated from journeys in many worlds.
But Master William must conduct research and discovery in Yanan to reach this level.
If his vision is already comparable to that of the ancient gods, then according to his [spiritual vision] theory, having the same vision as the ancient gods is equivalent to being equal to the ancient gods in terms of life form.
He will become the new ancient god.
But here's a joke: He's obviously not crazy about having a child of his own.
“Prudent.” Facing Lan En’s question, Master William first commented, “Prudent is a virtue.”
“If Lawrence and Mikrash were not so impatient, like you Being cautious and prudent, Yanan may be much better now."
"Son, have you considered coming to Byron Weiss for further training?"
Lan En tilted his head. He looked at the huge full moon on the lake outside the terrace and sighed: "Now is not the time for joking, Master William."
"Hehehe."
The old man laughed from his muddy throat.
"But it's like you took my words as a joke, ancient gods. Don't they think we are just a bunch of 'jokes'?"
Lan En nodded calmly and rationally. , the expression on his face was as if the words that compared him to a 'joke' were just a breeze blowing across his face.
“You want to say that the ancient gods despised us, so they did not pay attention to us. But this is still not enough.”
The enemy's slight is not worthy of wrath, on the contrary, it is a card to be exploited.
Lan En does not object to the enemy's contempt. Anyway, in the end it will be a life-and-death fight. What does the enemy's mood have to do with him?
The enemy is dead, why does the dead person care about him?
If you die, you don’t have to worry about it.
So now, Lan En is not unhappy or resentful at all, he is just thinking about what Master William said.
You are not afraid that your enemies will despise you, but you are afraid that the '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 the whole reason."
"You ended the deepest and most terrifying nightmare in Yanan. Tell me, what did you see?"
". The destruction of old Yharnam." Lan En calmly described what he saw and heard in that nightmare.
“Because of the grave sin of murdering the Son of God, the premature Son of God and the great god Kos issued a blood curse. This curse will last forever, and all descendants will have to pay the price.”
As he spoke, Lan En lowered his head and looked at the metal eyepatch on the old man's face.
"Based on time, you should be a fully informed person."
"Yes, I am fully informed." Master William admitted directly. "Even I know that when my students massacred small fishing villages in order to verify the theory of [spiritual vision] that had not been proven at that time, they turned over and over in the heads of those fishermen."
"They thought those changes The half-murloc fishermen are already considered the descendants of the great god Kos, so they should have the [Inner Eye] in their brains. I didn’t expect that they would actually search for [Spiritual Vision] in a literal sense.”
[Inner Eye] is another description of this transcendent sense in Master William's [Spiritual Vision] theory.
But obviously, people who have embarked on the path of 'improving and evolving their own blood' under the leadership of Lawrence cannot understand the true meaning of this theory.
Just look for the [Inner Eye] literally.
“But it was hunters like this who successfully murdered the premature son of God, didn’t they?”
Master William spit out cold words from the corner of his mouth, but at the same time outlined a peaceful smile.
The sense of conflict is particularly strong.
"You can say that the orphan did not have full strength because he was born prematurely, or you can say that the ancient gods were relatively fragile when they were young, etc. But..."
Without waiting for the old man to continue, Lan En, however, had already narrowed his eyes slightly and picked up the topic.
“However, according to your [Spirit Vision] theory, the most important thing about the ancient gods is not the so-called body, but also the physical strength. That is not their essence.” “[Personality] And [vision] is the essence of life."
"Yes." Master William praised with joy, "Look, my child, you are not in Byronville yet. Si has undergone systematic training, but 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 teaches every step of the way, Master William uses He spoke in a teaching tone.
And Lan En is undoubtedly the kind of outstanding student that all teachers dream of.
"Ruthless evolution is the depravity of mankind." Slowly and heavily, the demon hunter quoted a motto left by Master William himself.
“So how do you think the orphan of Kos died?”
The scepter in the old man's arms swayed along with the recliner.
He recounted what he said to the young man when he sent Lan En away from Baron Weiss for the first time.
At that time, he revealed the truth about Yanan to the young man.
“Every ancient god is longing for a child, but he is also jealous and guarding against any ancient god other than himself getting a child.”
“From the moment Kos possesses the Son of God , He is actually as good as dead, can you understand?”
It wasn't the hunter who actually killed Kos.
Lan En's lips murmured, but in the end he just nodded.
The biggest gap between ancient gods and humans lies in [Personality] and [Vision], and although the orphan of Kos was born prematurely, although he was still young, even though he lost the protection of his mother.
But He is still an advanced being equivalent to the ancient gods.
Because He was born with the two most critical points.
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, those who really wanted to kill the Son of God have always been other ancient gods at the same level of life as Him. .
And the curse caused by being murdered and died young
After Master William’s confirmation, Lan En also had some guesses.
At the end when he, Maria, and Adeline left the nightmare, Germann once said, 'In this nightmare, he repeatedly gave Ludwig the final blow to kill the Son of God,' and The curse was indeed shared partly by Ludwig.
Looking at it by analogy, it is hard to say whether the old hunters who were trapped in that nightmare and suffered repeated torture were also pushed up to top the cylinder by some ancient god who acted at that time, sharing the burden of the god's son's death. Cursed power.
"Understood."
Lan En's hand gently left the back of the easy chair and said in a deep voice.
“You mean that the internal fighting between the ancient gods is getting more and more intense.”
“But precisely because of the intensity.” Master William added with a smile, “Our vision Only narrow microorganisms have a chance."
"It seems that you have determined the situation." Lan En squatted down next to the rocking chair, and his armor clicked under his movements. 'Sound.
"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 any verbal response, the old man in the rocking chair just silently turned his head to the huge full moon on the lake.
"Really?" Lan En also raised his head and looked at the huge moon, "I've never heard of it. I thought it was someone with a good reputation like Orton."< br>
"Precisely because of his reputation and long history, His method of seeking children is not the most radical. It can even be said that His method is the most stable precisely because of the margin brought by strength."
Master William shook his head and said.
"Old gods, plural ancient gods. You shouldn't be so naive that you think you can clean them all at once, right?"
"We can only deal with the most critical, The most dangerous one. He may not be the most powerful one, but he must be the one who makes the situation worse."
"At least, let the dream end first."
"Completely agree." He stood up on his knees, which meant that the negotiation between Lan En and Master William had come to an end.
They reached 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 as if dreaming, his body slowly rocking with the rocking chair, “Where do you find Him? I made an exquisite doll, remember, kid?”
The demon hunter nodded calmly, and then walked towards the terrace and into Byron Weiss’s building without looking back.
"Last question, Master William."
"Ah, please tell me."
The old man in the rocking chair said warmly.
"What are your plans after the dream ends?" Lan En stood on the dividing line between the terrace and the building, his voice low, "We are going to kill one of them. Can you bear it?"
"No, I'm not worried about this, kid." The old man still spoke slowly, as if his reactions had aged.
But the old smile on his face has never changed.
“My vision has grown to this point in Yanan, and it has been too deeply involved and ingrained. Moreover, this is the theory I created.”
“It deserves a witness. .A martyr”
