Chapter 60 Contacting Dusk
Tick.

Tick.

Roland opened his eyes and found himself in a strange place.

It was a very huge room, the roof alone was tens of meters high, and it was definitely not inhabited by humans.

Beneath him was a dark brown floor carved with intricate patterns, and the dome that was as high as a church was scattered with colorful colored glazes, which were randomly and messily combined, exuding a strange and wild beauty.

And there are seven or eight bookshelves randomly placed around him-yes, the bookshelves can only be described as "seats".Not a boxy shape, but a comically irregular tetrahedron like a bad pyramid.Countless books large and small hang on the bookshelves, maintaining a dangerous balance at a strange angle.

Tick.

Tick.

Before he had a better understanding of the surrounding environment, Roland suddenly became aware of the sound that kept echoing in his ears in the extremely silent environment.

He glanced blankly, and finally "suddenly" found a huge coffin-like clock in a strange house.

That's right, it appeared suddenly—the coffin-like clock penetrates from the ground to the roof, and even the top has opened the roof and stretched out to the outside world.But when Roland looked up at the cathedral-like dome, he didn't notice that there was anything like a pillar connected to the roof, and the roof with a beautiful curvature was also intact.

It is worth noting the hands on the huge wall clock.There are indeed three hands on the wall clock, but they are three generally long.

The three pointers vibrated at the same frequency and at different paces. The timing method was something Roland had never seen before.

An inexplicable fear hit Roland's mind, and the flowing icy breath gently bit the back of his neck, making everything in front of him extremely clear, but it kept getting farther away like drunkenness.

A biological instinct warned him not to look too much.Roland froze in place like a stone statue, he didn't even dare to look down at the floor that made up for the weird and beautiful geometric patterns, but just stared at the wall clock.

When Roland was sure that he would never look at other things again, as if laughing at his decision, a tangible warmth with a scent enveloped him gently.

The warmth flowed through his whole body, gliding through the viscera like a poisonous snake.

But at this time, Roland suddenly discovered that the shape flowing out of the tangible fragrance did not seem to be his own body—or in other words, it was not the shape of a person.

——What am I like now?

An almost irrepressible curiosity swarmed Roland's heart. The poisonous snake in his organs spit out the venom of curiosity. A book with malicious intentions jumped out of the strange-shaped bookshelf for no reason.

Randomly, that book triggered a chain reaction.The absence of one book caused other books to fall, and eventually, the entire room of books fell down, dripping like milk on the floor.

Roland clearly felt the touch of the books on the ground flowing past his body, and hated his superior spatial imagination ability to roughly outline the shape of his legs.

——That is definitely not a form that humans can have.

Roland was surrounded by more toxic curiosity, and he almost couldn't help but look down at himself at the moment.Fortunately, he endured it at the last moment.

But that didn't quench his curiosity.His eyes itched violently because of this, he couldn't help scratching with his hands, and accidentally gouged out his eyeballs.

Afterwards, he saw several poisonous snakes emerge from his hollow eye sockets, wrapping around Roland's hands, their images blurred like phantoms.

—Wait a minute, how did I see these poisonous snakes?
After Roland realized this problem, the poisonous snakes wrapped around his arms suddenly burned violently, turning into a blazing poisonous fire, and the scented warmth around him also burned out of anger, causing Roland to feel pain scream.

The scream was so shrill and echoing that it was impossible to even remember the sound.Not to mention humans, it is impossible for any creature to have such a terrible voice.

The scream of "Roland" echoed in the huge room, and merged with the ticking sound that suddenly became hundreds of times louder, turning into flowing silver flames, burning the surrounding books, and the whole room was filled with smoke. And broken.

Before Roland woke up completely, he vaguely saw an eye outside the room.

Those eyes that move are...

The severe dizziness made Roland's eyes blur.

When he woke up again, Roland suddenly found that he was on the top of the tree of suffering, and a large pile of white vines were powerlessly scattered around Roland.

The pure white mistletoe on the whole body of the Tree of Suffering has not changed in any way, but the golden oak tree has blackened skin as if scorched. Pieces of snake scales gradually appeared on his cheeks.

A large number of system prompts appeared in front of Roland's eyes like a flash of the screen:

[You have obtained some information about the dusk species]

[You got some information about Higgs with snakes in his eyes]

[You fall asleep under the gaze of Higgs with snakes in his eyes, check the will...the check is successful; repeat the check...the check is successful; repeat the check...the check is successful; repeat the check...the check fails]

【You got the gaze of Higgs from the Way of Ashes】

[You have received supernatural power dream revelation]

[You get the trait Twilight Contactor (personal trait)]

"...Twilight Believer?"

Roland jumped down from its canopy in a hurry, his eyes full of fear.

Roland should have guessed it from the fact that only "Salute to the Father of Gaia" can trigger the dialogue of the Tree of Suffering - this sentence is used to trigger the dialogue, it is clearly used to make the Tree of Suffering call Higgs !

If you don't say this sentence, then the tree of suffering is just teaching Roland skills as a druid; or even if Roland said this sentence before leaving, Roland has already left the resonance of the tree of suffering scope.

But Roland greeted Gaia's father in front of the tree of suffering, and it was obvious that the tree of suffering regarded him as a twilight believer, and he was pulled into his dream together!
You know, Higgs with snakes in his eyes is the father of Gaia and the only god the druids believe in!
For occupations such as druids or priests, reaching [-] points is a watershed.Once it reaches eighteen o'clock, it means that you can establish a stable spiritual connection with the gods, and move your soul essence closer to a greater existence every moment.

Professions other than Druids don't know about it, but ten years before the collapse of the White Tower, all Druids with a perception of more than [-] points should have received the last words of Gaia's father with his last rationality. right.

After that, the more rational druids followed the behest of Gaia's father, cut off their spiritual connection with Gaia's father in grief, and became untrustworthy druids.But the fanatical believers of Father Gaia rejected Father Gaia's final request, and resolutely maintained a spiritual connection with Father Gaia until the last moment of Father Gaia's fall.

In other words, all the druids who advanced to the gold level before the collapse of the White Tower are likely to be Twilight believers.

The Tree of Passion had briefly become the guardian of Kalal, but Roland subconsciously excluded it for this reason.But now when I look back and think about it, why did Master Everlasting Sleep let the Death Crow spread the plague?Isn't it just to eliminate the deep-rooted influence of the gods and dusk on the entire world?

From the beginning of creation, it was a plague targeting divine beings and twilight species. Because of the exaggerated transformation of that woman, Farina, almost everyone forgot who this plague was aimed at.

——In other words, the Tree of Suffering didn't die of illness because the Bloodstain Syndrome was too strong at all, but because of its identity as a twilight believer, it weakened and died within a few days!
Roland immediately realized the importance of that dream. After a little thought, broken words spit out from his mouth: "...flowing books, pyramid-like bookshelves, a clock as long as three hands, a church-like roof, a huge room... ..."

As long as a person wakes up, the impression of the dream will fade at a very fast speed.If you want to write down your dreams, you have to quickly write down the key words of the whole dream in the notebook when you just wake up and still have some impressions.In this way, some fragments can still be recalled under association.

Roland didn't have a notebook at hand, but with his superior memory, he had no problem remembering a few words he spoke.

After standing in place for a while, and describing the outline of the dream with broken words, the impression of the dream completely faded in Roland's memory.All he can recall is that he had a terrible dream.

With some apprehension, he glanced at the tree of suffering, which seemed to be scorched by the flames, and Roland rushed to the way he came from without hesitation, preparing to return the same way.

As for checking your task list, let's wait until you get to a safe place.

——Once the Tree of Suffering recovers from the damage caused by the shattered dream, the self who is still within the resonance range will undoubtedly die.

Roland knew this clearly in his heart.
