Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 396 395. Master William

 “What now? Are we going to kill him?”

Yuri, whose arms were broken, was pinned to the ground by Henryk's knee on his neck. The old hunter raised his head and asked Lan En.

The magic tools he had on him - two slug-like soft-bodied creatures - were found by the old hunter. Also put into the bag were the mercury bullets and blood collection bottles he had on him.

Upon seeing this, the witcher squatted on the ground and reached out to pry the faces of the choir members who were still struggling in vain.

 Carefully check whether he has any symptoms of lycanthropy.

 But the result is still the same: the person looks completely normal on the outside.

 “Can you communicate with me, Yuri?”

Lan asked softly. But the other party had no intention of responding at all, and the struggle was even greater. Even the broken bones in the wrist had penetrated the skin due to misalignment and were exposed outside the body, and he still had no intention of stopping.

Lan En looked at the other person’s frantic eyes and sighed.

With a "click", Lan En turned his face to the position directly behind his back.

Henric was not surprised and stood up, supporting the body.

“He just kept talking about ‘the brilliance of the universe’. Have you heard of this?”

Lan En also stood up and asked Henryk.

He didn't expect the old hunter to answer him. After all, the environment here seemed to be around the 18th or 19th century. There was no specific and reasonable explanation for the word "universe", and it was more of a religious and legendary explanation.

 But the old hunter who had lived in Yanan all his life gave Lan En a surprise.

"The universe, that's what the choir often talks about. They believe that there is something called the 'universe' outside the sky where we live. The movement of raising both hands just now is [the distant call] Preparatory actions for casting spells.”

"That was the Choir's attempt to communicate with the distant star realm, but unfortunately they failed. However, during the failed communication process, there was an explosion of stars, so they turned a communication spell into an attack spell. It makes sense. It’s probably ‘Failure is the mother of success’.”

As Lan En listened, the corner of his mouth twitched a little.

 Astral communications in the nineteenth century, right? !

 Listen to this meaning. Co-author: Ancient gods not only appear in dungeons and mazes, but also in the universe? !

Of course Lan En knows what the 'universe' is, but now that he has learned about the situation in this world, he has no intention of connecting the 'cosmology' he learned to this world.

 Perhaps it means that the universe of this world is a boundless sea of ​​darkness inhabited by various ancient gods?

  Should I say, "Distant Call" developed thanks to the Choir failed?

 “Yanan is really in trouble.”

 Lan En complained expressionlessly.

Although Henryk didn't know why the young man said this, he still echoed with deep sympathy: "Who says it's not the case?"

The whole building is not big, and it only took the two of them five minutes to run up and down it.

 Finally, they got a key on a table covered with books and instruments, and then walked together to the last door that had not been opened.

"Open it. If Master William is still alive, this is the only place."

 The old hunter said a little disappointed at this time, he no longer believed that Master William could survive.

 Lan opened the door.

 Then Master William, who was thought to be dead, appeared in front of the two of them.

Behind the door is a terrace extending forward to the lake without guardrails.

At the edge of the terrace, there was an old man in complicated and gorgeous clothes lying on a rocking chair, holding a scepter in his hand.

 He looked weak and stiff, and a strange fungus even grew on the pale and old skin of his neck.

Henrik was stunned for a moment, then tentatively walked to the rocking chair and bowed.

   "Master Wei, William?! Are you still alive?!"    Henric's surprise was beyond words.

 After all, the situation tonight has become so bad that it’s really amazing that an old man who can’t even get up from a chair is still alive.

While Henrik could walk over and say hello freely, Lan couldn't.

 When he approached the old man, the strange senses in his mind seemed to have received the greatest stimulation since his birth!

That stimulation even caused his vision to be severely distorted.

The witcher unconsciously rubbed his eyes hard, and the phantom-like scene overlapped with the reality in front of him.

 In his eyes, Master William not only had fungus growing on his neck, but there was even a large pool of fungi spreading under his rocking chair!

On that carpet of bacteria, some deformed little people like ghosts were swaying. A few brave ones even looked at him.

It wasn't until Henry pulled his arm that he shook his head violently and came back to his senses.

 Looking at the old man who seemed to be rocking in the rocking chair with wide eyes without saying a word.

 “Oh, your [spiritual vision] is growing very fast, stranger.”

 Suddenly, the old man who had been silent until now suddenly spoke.

The voice was exactly the same as the one he had heard in Lawrence’s skull vision.

His face was covered with a pair of metal eye masks, which were completely impervious to light, but Lan En still felt that he was looking at him. And look very deeply.

 “Why?” Lan En let go of the hand on his forehead and took his arm out of Henryk's hand. In just this moment, he actually started to sweat!

 The old hunter seemed unable to hear Master William's words at all, nor could he see his lips moving. So I could only watch the young man talking to himself strangely to the old man.

"Why do I know just when I see your servant and you?"

“This is proof of the success of the [clairvoyance] theory, stranger.”

It seemed that Lan En didn’t need to finish his words at all, and Master William started to explain on his own.

"When human beings' [vision] is improved, they will naturally move towards the realm of gods. Your [spiritual vision] has been inspired when you see me. That's right, just see it. "

 The old man's voice was soft and gentle, just like an old man putting his child to sleep.

"Lawrence believes that if you don't even activate the evolution of blood, and just pursue the improvement of vision, it is as unrealistic as 'there is no need for the first floor in the building, only the second floor'. But, young man, Ancient God It’s a counter-intuitive creature. If you want to become a life like the ancient gods, you have to use counter-intuitive methods. That’s right.”

"We must directly obtain the 'second level', which is the improvement of vision. Otherwise, ruthlessly evolving our own blood will only lead to the degradation of mankind."

 Master William's tone never changed even on the day he was betrayed by Lawrence.

This calm mood even made Lan En feel suspicious——

 Should he be called Him?

“I came here to hear that Byron Weiss was the first institution to start research on ancient gods. I hope to dispel my doubts from here.”

 Lan did not forget his goal.

 “Ah, yes, yes. The knowledge of the ancient gods”

 The rocking chair is swinging gently, and Master William's words are like light sleep.

“If you want to break the time loop, you only need to enter the lake from there and kill the gods inside, stranger.”

The witcher's cat eyes suddenly widened!
