Roland opened his eyes and found himself in a strange place.
It was a very huge room, with the roof alone being tens of meters high. It was definitely not inhabited by humans.
Under him was a dark brown floor engraved with complex patterns, and the high raised dome like a church was dotted with colorful colored glazes, randomly and messily combined, exuding a strange and wild beauty.
There are seven or eight bookshelves placed randomly around him - yes, the bookshelf can only be described as "seat". It is not boxy in shape, but as funny as a low-quality pyramid.
A regular tetrahedron. Countless books, large and small, hang on the bookshelf, maintaining a dangerous balance at a strange angle.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
Before he could understand the surrounding environment, Roland suddenly became aware of the sounds that were constantly echoing in his ears in the extremely silent environment.
He glanced around expressionlessly, and finally "suddenly" discovered a huge coffin-like clock in a strange house.
Yes, it appeared suddenly - the coffin-like clock penetrated from the ground to the roof, and even the top had pushed open the roof and extended to the outside world. But when Roland looked up at the church-like dome, he didn't notice it.
Something like a pillar is connected to the roof, and the roof with a wonderful curvature is also intact.
What is worth noting is that the hands on the huge wall clock. There are indeed three hands on the wall clock, but they are three generally long hands.
These three hands vibrated with the same frequency and different steps. The timing method was something Roland had never seen before.
An inexplicable fear hit Roland's mind, and the flowing cold breath gently bit the back of his neck, making everything in front of him extremely clear, but it kept getting farther away like a drunken man.
The 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. Instead, he just stared at it.
Wearing a wall clock.
When Roland was sure that he would never look at anything else, as if mocking his decision, a tangible and fragrant warmth gently embraced him.
The warmth flowed all over his body, gliding through his organs 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. Eventually, the entire room's books fell down, flowing freely on the ground like milk.
Roland clearly felt the touch of the book on the ground passing by 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 possess.
Roland was surrounded by a more toxic curiosity, and he almost couldn't help but look down at what he looked like at the moment. Fortunately, he endured it at the last moment.
But this could not quell his curiosity. As a result, his eyes itched violently, and he couldn't help but scratch them with his hands, and accidentally dug out his eyeballs.
Then, he saw several venomous snakes coming out of his empty eye sockets and wrapping around Roland's hands, their images blurred like phantoms.
——Wait a minute, how did I see these venomous snakes?
After Roland realized this problem, the poisonous snakes wrapped around his arms suddenly burned violently and turned into blazing poisonous fire. The fragrant warmth around him also burned as if being irritated, causing Roland to feel pain.
's scream.
The scream was so shrill and reverberating that even memory could not do it. No creature, let alone human beings, could have such a terrifying sound.
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 all 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 are moving are...
The severe dizziness made Roland's eyes blurred.
When he woke up again, Roland suddenly found himself on the canopy of the Crucifixion Tree, with a large number of white vines scattered feebly around Roland.
The pure white mistletoe on the Passion Tree did not change at all, but the golden oak tree turned black as if it had been scorched. The expression of the peaceful middle-aged man with his eyes closed suddenly became extremely painful.
Pieces of snake scales gradually appeared on his cheeks.
A large number of system prompts appeared in front of Roland's eyes like a swipe of the screen:
[You have obtained some information about the dusk species]
[You got some information about Higgs who has snakes in his eyes]
[You fell asleep under the gaze of Higgs, who has snakes in his eyes. The test of Will... the test was successful; the test of Will was repeated... the test was successful; the test of Will was repeated... the test was successful; the test of Will was repeated... the test failed]

"...Twilight Cultist?"
Roland quickly jumped down from its crown, his eyes full of fear.
Roland should have guessed from the fact that only "Salute to the Father of Gaia" can trigger the dialogue of the Crucifixion Tree - this sentence is not used to trigger dialogue, it is clearly used to make the Crucifixion Tree call Higgs.
!
If you don't say this, then the Passion Tree will just teach Roland skills as a druid; or even if Roland says this before leaving, Roland will have already left the resonance of the Passion Tree.
scope.
But when Roland said hello to the Father of Gaia in front of the Passion Tree, it was obvious that the Passion Tree regarded him as a twilight believer and pulled him into his dream!
You know, Higgs with the snake in his eyes is the father of Gaia and the only god that druids believe in!
For professions like Druid or Priest, reaching eighteen points of perception is a watershed. Once it reaches eighteen points, it means that you can establish a stable spiritual connection with the gods and direct your soul essence to them every moment.
A greater being draws closer.
It’s okay if professions other than druids don’t know about this, but ten years before the collapse of the White Tower, all druids with a perception of more than 18 points should have received the last words from the father of Gaia with his last sanity.
right.
After that, the more rational druids followed the will of the Father of Gaia, sadly cut off their spiritual connection with the Father of Gaia, and became unfaithful druids. But the fanaticism of the Father of Gaia
The believers all rejected the last request of the Father of Gaia and resolutely maintained spiritual contact with the Father of Gaia until the last moment of the fall of the Father of Gaia.
In other words, all the druids who advanced to the gold level before the collapse of the White Tower are likely to be Twilight followers.
The Tree of Passion briefly became the guardian of Kalal, and Roland subconsciously excluded it for this reason. But now looking back and thinking about it, why did Master Longsleep let the Death Crow spread the plague? Wasn't it just to eliminate the gods?
and Dusk's deep-seated influence on the entire world?
From the beginning of its 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 Crucifixion Tree did not die of illness because the Bloodstain Syndrome was too powerful, but because it weakened and died within a few days because of its status as a Twilight Follower!
Roland immediately realized the importance of the dream. After thinking for a moment, broken words came out of his mouth: "...flowing books, pyramid-like bookshelves, a clock as long as three hands, a church-like top, a huge room...
…”
As soon as a person wakes up, the impression of the dream will fade at a very fast speed. If you want to record your dream, you must quickly write down the key words of the entire dream when you just wake up and still have some impressions.
In a notebook, you can still recall some fragments through 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 there for a short while, describing the outline of the dream with broken words, the impression of the dream completely faded from Roland's memory. He could only recall that he had had a terrible dream.
A somewhat wary glance at the Suffering Tree, which seemed to be scorched by the flames, Roland rushed towards the path he came from without hesitation, preparing to return the same way.
As for checking your task list, let's wait until you are in a safe place.
——Once the Tormented Tree recovers from the damage caused by the broken dream, it will definitely die if it is still within the resonance range.
