Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1341 1313. 'Nutrient Richness'

It would be difficult for ordinary people to understand what Lan En saw in his vision with his [spiritual vision] at this moment.

In response to Master William's invitation in a doddering voice sitting in a rocking chair, Lan nodded in agreement.

But at the same time, he had no intention of moving to get closer to the old man.

Because they were close enough.

The amber cat's eyes, which had inexplicably become extremely deep, looked around aimlessly.

But in Lan's perception at this moment, the sound of his pair of dragon scale plate boots stepping on the stone floor of the Byronvis Moon-Viewing Terrace was not the sound of powerful armor stepping on the ground.

Instead, it was like a boot stepping on the large cap of a mushroom or something, making a slightly sticky friction sound.

In Lan's vision, the entire building representing Byron Weiss College, and even the tranquil lake and lakeshore facing the building, were all covered with a layer of fungal carpet.

The fungal mat emits a bright white light and looks sticky and disgusting, but it also has an abnormal sense of holiness and transcendence.

The center and origin of this vast fungal blanket is undoubtedly the old man sitting in a rocking chair not far from Lan En.

Many glowing white mushrooms had grown on the back of the old man's neck, and the fungi seemed to extend all the way under his gorgeous, heavy robes.

It spread along his body and the rocking chair to the ground, and finally expanded into such a large and magnificent fungal carpet.

Master William's body is the origin, but compared with such a large area of ​​spreading fungal blanket, can a mere human body really be considered the main body?

"After I killed your student, the Spider that Webs Time, I caught a glimpse of you in this state."

Lan En used his index finger and thumb to indicate a tiny distance to describe the extent of the "corner" in his words.

He continued to look around in amazement, as if trying to find a place that was not covered by the fungal mat.

"But I didn't expect that your 'true appearance' could actually counter the influence of the Ancient God."

After breaking Yharnam's cycle of time travel, Lan En, exhausted, only looked up and saw a small circle of fungal mat traces at Master William's feet and on his body.

But as time goes by, the special senses that were just obtained can observe the deeper truth of things, and the more you "see", the deeper you can "see" [clairvoyance].

He has traveled across several worlds as a demon hunter, witnessed more profound powers, mysterious scenes and knowledge, and has achieved considerable growth.

Now he didn't even need the temporary stimulation of the blood of the superior to see Master William's 'true appearance' in his eyes.

The blood moon outside of Byronvis is a manifestation of the power of the ancient gods.

The huge, unaffected full moon on the lake inside Byronvis symbolizes Master William's isolation from the outside world.

But even so, when these eyes looked around at Master William's 'true appearance', this unique sense still gave Lan En a stimulating feeling of seeing something new and glimpsing into the deeper world.

[Clairvoyance] has been improved.

[Clairvoyance] is not just 'vision' in a narrow sense. It enables people to see a more real and deeper world. It is more than just 'seeing', it almost brings people into the depths of the world.

Just like the touch and sound of Lan En's feet stepping on the ground just now.

To an ordinary person, he must have been stepping on the hard stone ground with his plate boots, making a loud and clanging sound.

But from Lan's perspective, the sounds and touches were real.

However, although [Clairvoyance] has gained a gratifying improvement, it was almost at the same time.

Lan En first consciously closed his [spiritual vision], and the old man who was sitting peacefully in the rocking chair in the distance suddenly pushed the ground with the scepter in his hand, stopping the rocking of the chair.

The old face turned to the witcher, and the voice that almost sounded like it was about to die of old age spoke in a warning.

"Don't look at it anymore. You shouldn't look at the things here any more."

The emphasis in the tone is placed on the word 'here'.

The old man with the metal eyepatch did not put the scepter back into his arms until he was sure that Lan En had turned off his [spiritual vision], and the armchair continued to rock.

The plate boots made of dragon scales interlocked with each other moved again after a pause, making a clanging sound on the stone ground, and walked towards the old man at the edge of the terrace.

The huge full moon in the sky was so quiet and motionless, it just sprinkled moonlight down.

At this time, Lan En also stood next to the old man's rocking chair.

"So, this is the possibility of seeing with your 'eyes'?"

Lan En casually placed one hand on the back of the rocking easy chair, and the chair swayed slowly and steadily with its inertia. He looked meaningfully at the metal eye mask that covered the upper half of the old man's face, blocking out any light.

"This is the only hope I can see." The old man took over Lan En's words and spoke slowly.

"Because we are shallow-minded and have a narrow vision."*2
The last sentence was whispered by the old man and the young witcher at the same time with tacit understanding.

That was one of Byron Weiss's mottos, meant to remind people to acquire knowledge with humility.

But judging from Yanan's current condition, this reminder is useless.

In fact, in terms of the exact time, Lan En had spontaneously closed his [Clairvoyance] which was enhanced by witnessing Master William's 'true appearance' before Master William reminded him.

Because he also felt a sense of alertness at that time.

——His [Clairvoyance] seemed to be more closely connected with this land because he observed some deep-level information about Yharnam.

If you were just traveling around in one world, then this might be a good thing.

After all, if one has a close connection with a piece of land, he will at least be like the ancient deer-headed spirit that Lan En once hunted, and be similar to the land god, right?
But this is the turbulent Yharnam.

Closely connected with this place. Lan En is not that bold yet.

But at the same time, it is precisely because of this unique feeling now, a feeling that he did not perceive when his [spiritual vision] was still shallow and immature.

Lan En suddenly seemed to understand Master William's plan.

"You have enough vision now, which is good, very good."

Sitting in the reclining chair that rocked back and forth, the old man spoke slowly, with satisfaction and appreciation.

His speaking style was exactly the same as when Lan first came to Byronvis to look for him.

But then, Master William changed the subject.

"But the growth and deepening of your vision has little to do with Yharnam, the Higher Powers, and the Ancient Gods. This is better! Better!"

Lan En's enlightenment to clairvoyance was born in this world. Even the academic theory about this special sense of clairvoyance was born in the Byron Weiss Academy during the time of Master William.

But Lan En's growth did not take place here.

With these eyes that can see deeply into the truth, he has seen many things that ordinary people would never imagine in their lifetime.

He had seen in the magical Middle Ages that wizards manipulated dangerous and huge chaotic energy into spells like knitting a sweater, and he had even "cut" many spells with his own hands.

In the ancient Greek world, he saw the existence of "previous civilizations" like those described in science fiction stories, as well as the Isu technological creations they left behind.

He also saw the incomparably magnificent and vibrant natural world, and through fighting with those powerful and beautiful creatures, he got a glimpse of the physical structure of the predators at the top of the food chain.

There is also a world of fire that was originally in chaos, but a stable environment was born due to the burning of a ball of primordial fire.

The world of Arda, a world where the creator god 'just' created the world not long ago and is even still watching over what is happening there.

This demon hunter's journey is extremely colorful.

Even Master William, the founder of the theory of clairvoyance, had never seen what he had seen.

Even though Lan En's current vision has not yet reached the level of Master William, the "richness" of the nutrition he has absorbed during his growth has definitely surpassed that of Master William.

If you look at it from other levels, the "richness" of nutrition is not important. What is most important is the height of your vision in the end.

But if we put the venue in Yharnam.
Master William's scepter was swinging, and one could even feel his happy mood.

In Yharnam, in this world, the most profound knowledge and the deepest truth of the world undoubtedly belong to the group of ancient gods and superiors who yearn for the Son of God.

And here, the improvement of [spiritual vision] must be closely related to them.

Otherwise, you have to watch the remnants of the ancient gods' power and the operation of the rituals. At the very least, you have to see the ancient gods' followers, or become their followers yourself.

With the [Spiritual Vision] enhanced by this kind of nutrition, is it really qualified to stand before the Ancient God?
Furthermore.

If Master William's theory is completely correct, the improvement of [Clairvoyance] can eventually drive the life level to the level of ancient gods.

Then, for a 'person' who reaches the same level as the ancient gods by improving his [spiritual vision] through this kind of nutrition, will there be any difference between him and other ancient gods?
