Chapter 61 Higgs' Gaze
Roland sat on the high wall, and the spring-like warm air around the Tree of Suffering gradually dissipated along with the bright sunshine, and the knife-like cold wind unique to the early morning of winter poured into Roland's body.

Although it was still cold as expected, Roland felt that the surrounding temperature was not much colder than near the Tree of Suffering.

This is absolutely impossible.

The Tree of Suffering adjusted the surrounding environment to the sunny day of early spring through its assimilated origin at the level of the Hall of Truth.Although the seasons cannot be changed, if only the surrounding light and temperature are changed, the Golden Oak Druid, who is known as the man-shaped greenhouse, will have no problem.Coupled with the white oak druid's blood-sucking vine replacement root system that is likely to cover the entire underground water system of the city of wealth, the tree of suffering can turn on the air conditioner to the entire city of wealth without much pressure.

But in the outside world, Caral is now slowly but surely marching towards deep winter.Coupled with the fact that it snowed again the night before, the temperature in Karal, the city of wealth in the northern country, has already reached a temperature that can freeze to death.Even when Roland entered the city last night, he saw several frozen bones on the side of the road.

The reason why only a few were seen was probably because they had been cleaned up specially to prevent the fat sheep from being scared away.

But Roland dared to swear that his perception was as high as [-] o'clock, and the temperature around him was definitely the most comfortable since Roland came to Farnes World.

Excluding all impossible situations, there is only one truth.

"Even if I caused damage to it, it still didn't remove the aura..."

Roland opened his task list, and fell into contemplation of the densely packed status in the status column.

This shows that the Passion Tree still does not regard itself as an enemy.

Reminiscent of the dream that he broke free from the Tree of Suffering inexplicably, Roland had a vague guess in his heart.

However, due to the lack of conclusive evidence, Roland decided not to mention this idea for the time being.

If you are misled by something, it is not beautiful.To deal with this kind of clueless thing, the most taboo is that the thinking is limited by subjective guesses, otherwise it is entirely possible to run all the way in the wrong direction.

"Pay experience to learn the Touch of Weakness, the Touch of Weak Suffocation, and Akama's Ashes Entanglement."

Roland read softly.

As Roland finished speaking, the experience in the experience pool quickly leaked out, dropping to 390 points in an instant.

Instead, the magic in his magic list finally no longer has a limit on the number of times it can be used per day, but can be released at will using natural energy that can be quickly restored——

Mastery of divine spells: Entangle ([-]st level), Wild Walk ([-]st level), Breathe Water ([-]st level), Touch of Mistletoe ([-]nd level), Touch of Healing ([-]nd level), Touch of Weakness ([-]nd level), Weakness Stifling Touch ([-]nd ring) Crimson Fang ([-]nd ring) Ember Nova ([-]nd ring) Akama's Ember Coil ([-]nd ring) Higgs' Gaze ([-]nd ring)
Among them, the weakening touch can randomly reduce the enemy's physique by one to three levels; the weak suffocating touch can suffocate 1% of the enemies whose physique is lower than 100, but the probability of successful suffocation will be reduced by half for each level of physique .The combination of these two magical arts is quite useful in the early stage.

As for the Higgs gaze...

The corner of Roland's mouth twitched.

He hadn't forgotten Windtalker's forgiveness for the Higgs he had freed.These are all a series of divine spells, powerful divine spells that only Higgs' favorite believers can get.

Just like the words used by the fanatics, the forgiveness of Higgs, who can be full of blood in an instant with one breath left.

If Roland uses this magic spell, it will attract the attention of Higgs.All detection methods below the eighth ring will be ineffective because of the intervention of Higgs, and the detection methods above the eighth ring will in turn cause damage to the detector - the amount of damage depends on Higgs' mood.

It is also possible to feel dizzy, and it is also possible that the sound of Boom spreads freely all over the body within 50 meters... In short, everything depends on fate.

But Roland would rather not get this magic spell by himself.Getting this magic spell means that now there is another great god who follows Roland's butt and stares at his every move every day...

"Why did you still give me this magical technique..."

Roland raised his forehead.

This time, I couldn't tell what to do.Once his noble hypocrisy is broken, any clergyman can see the Higgs behind him through his soul essence.

Knowing this earlier, Roland changed his career to Howler from the very beginning.At least you can form a team to clear monsters and level up... I mean, together with your colleagues, you can send all things to the inevitable reincarnation and reduce their suffering in the world.

"Hiding thousands of times, still can't hide from the Twilight Seed..."

He is also arrogant.If I sleep from the tree of suffering first and then turn on the aura bonus, nothing will happen; even if I glance at the status bar before going to bed, I won't be targeted by Higgs.

This is great, the soul has undergone a mutation, and I don't know if the eternal sleep teacher will accept it... I hope this mutation is a benign mutation.

As for Akama's Ash Coil...

Although Roland had never heard of this magic technique, he could tell from the name that it was Akama's original magic technique.With its identity, it will not be weaker than it.

Roland chanted the prayer in a low voice, the energy of the heart of nature burst forth, and a dark red aura gradually shone in his right hand.

...Why is the aura reaction so obvious? A second-ring magic aura is brighter than a fourth-ring one. Are you trying to scare someone to death?

Frowning slightly, Roland waved his hand and pointed at the traveler's corpse, and released the magical spell that had condensed for three seconds.

I saw a small amount of ashes forming on Roland's wrist, and then, as if absorbing the same kind, a large amount of ashes condensed here, forming a gray-black tough vine with faint fire flickering inside, holding the traveler's body firmly. Hold tight.

Roland pulled it casually, and found that the feel was similar to that of the winding technique, but it was much tougher.

With a slight movement in his heart, Roland tied up the traveler's body with this special vine, and tried to shake it in the air.

"It's just that its own strength is about twice that of the entanglement technique, and the entanglement technique has its own fire damage and is resistant to cutting by sharp weapons..."

After doing a simple experiment and appraising the newly acquired magic, Roland murmured a little dissatisfied.

This specialized entanglement technique is really strong, there's nothing to say about that.

But this specialized entanglement technique can only release one at a time - isn't this adding to the chaos?

Most of the time when Roland used the entanglement technique, it was to provide himself with three-dimensional mobility. The inclusion of something with a different strength than other vines was a headache.

If you expect the entanglement technique to use its own damage to kill people, it would be better to let Roland get close and then slash him.

And the high-temperature damage unique to this ash entanglement technique doesn't seem to be that bad. After being entangled for so long, only a few scorched black marks are left, even if there are clothes...

...Wait, the charred traces?
Roland pondered for a moment, and then gestured in the air at the width and depth of the charred blackness.

Well, almost.

"...I seem to know how to use this magic technique."

Roland showed a satisfied smile, and moved his gaze to the feature list.

Now, the last question comes.

Twilight Contact (Personal Trait)
Effect: You have a certain probability to perceive the twilight contacts around you, and the probability of success depends on the perception attribute.

-You have received some revelations about recycling and regeneration.These revelations come with a solemnity and solemnity that is higher than that of the gods. You cannot question it; but because it is difficult to understand, you cannot understand what you have understood.

... The description of this feature is a ball.

Roland said that he really "can't understand what he understands".Fortunately, the effect is that he can still understand it, and that's enough.

To be honest, this is the first time Roland has seen such a completely unknown description of characteristics.It sounded to him like a lunatic telling a joke with the tone of a truth--or telling the truth with a tone of a joke.

If it is placed in the game, Roland will definitely be interested in exploring related events based on this description.According to his intuition, this thing must have involved a lot of tasks, and it must be a dark thread.But now, Roland said that he should be more cautious.

Randomly touching this kind of thing that is likely to be related to the twilight species, the result is likely to be a deep infection.This is an experience Roland has never had, and he dare not be arrogant here.

After all, in [Land of the Gods], players cannot contact Twilight in any form.Once accidentally infected by Twilight, the player will lose control, and the character will become a wild monster controlled by Twilight until it is killed.

Therefore, it is impossible for players to get this feature.This is the same as the elite template and the lord template, which are only available to NPCs.

"So, my current identity is an NPC..."

Roland sat on the high wall, looking down at the swamp of blood and the casually thrown corpse fragments in the alley, frowning.

He is not being hypocritical for his change of status.Roland was just thinking, what are the privileges that only players have left?
Upgrades, experience, and data-based bodies are naturally still there—so, what’s missing?
But when he thought for a while and wanted to get down from the high wall, Roland suddenly discovered——

"Eh? Wait, where are my shoes?"
