Chapter 453: Changed Rules

Chapter 453 Ch.452 Changed Rules
The moment Roland and Rose felt the fluctuation in the carriage.

In fact, almost all the ritualists have noticed it - there are many activists among them.

Before long, Roland's train had not even traveled halfway.

The secret is no longer a secret.

"The rules of the world change during sleep."

Enid said.

"Several ritualists from the Parliament of Truth have found the answer—no, it should be said that they are relatively 'lucky'. They are preparing to enter a dream."

The rules of the sleeping world changed.

The dreamer no longer needs to wait for a 'gift' to leave.

"As long as the body left in the outside world feels a certain degree of change... well, how should I describe it? Roland, it's like the feeling of stepping on empty air when you go down the stairs."

That was how Enid had woken him just now.

“It’s hard to say whether the rule changes are good or bad.”

First of all, it is good news for those dream explorers.

Because they no longer need to risk their lives, they just need to find someone from the outside to wake them up at any time.

But for the big sects, it is a bad thing.

Because dreams contain secret teachings, monopolized knowledge.

The change in rules soon turned their worries into reality: Wandering ritualists will be able to more quickly and easily acquire knowledge and rituals that were once expensive or even required a huge price to obtain.

Rather than saying it was a change, it would be more accurate to say that the opening of the mystery box accelerated the pace of the ritualists' progress.

"Change the rules..." Roland murmured.

He didn't expect that a puzzle box could cause such terrible consequences.

Delis, what do you want to do?
Who opened the mystery box?
Why can Delis change the rules of the sleep world?

"Oh, besides that." Enid raised her eyebrows: "I can die in a dream and wake up - it's much better than before the change, right?"

"In this way, exploring dreams seems to have little risk." Roland pondered, "Some dreams..."

"maybe."

Enid shook her head.

"The people of the Maelstrom sent news that one of their apprentices... 'actively' entered the dream world and tried to explore new rules. After that, he never woke up again - the outside world's calls were no longer effective."

"No one is too stupid to become an apprentice, so what do you think happened?"

Roland asked, "Didn't they find someone else to enter the same dream?"

"Three." Enid held up three fingers. "Three. One apprentice and two third-ring masters."

"Now, they are all lying down."

Roland: ...

"Have you tried throwing them off the second floor?"

"of course."

"Throw water..."

"of course."

"fire?"

"Everything you can think of that affects the body, they've probably tried it. It's like the rules have never changed."

Enid yawned. "We need more time to understand and find out the boundaries of the rules. But for now, the changed sleep world is by no means without risks."

"Roland, don't enter my dream without permission."

Enid reminded Roland curiously—he hadn’t been dreaming recently?
“I’ve been very cautious.”

Enid rolled her eyes at him.

The rules were changed by the puzzle box.

That is: the 'fall' of the external body, or death in a dream can lead to awakening - but according to what Enid said, what is the ritualist of the Great Whirlpool?

He suddenly remembered what had just happened and subconsciously turned the silver ring on his little finger.

"Yes, someone thinks the same as you do," Enid nodded with approval in her eyes, "Maybe it's because of the 'heart anchor' - this thing that we rarely pay attention to and is actually not that important, maybe it is the key to the problem."

Enid said.

Those who can't wake up...

Maybe you’ve overlooked your heart anchor.

Forgot they were in the dream.

Why does it sound more dangerous?
"Roland, you need to change your 'heart anchor'." Enid warned him: "You didn't notice the dream just now..."

Roland argued that it was due to other reasons.

So the woman looked down.

Roland's champagne glass happened to be blocking the way.

"Enid."

"Ok?"

“…It’s alright.”

Roland originally wanted to tell her about the mystery box and Delis, but the moment she looked over, he suddenly changed his mind.

James Shelley, Saint Archimedes, the unknown temple, the fifty-year agreement, Delis's seemingly plausible "prophecy", the alien bloodline, the "interesting" things that affect the whole world... All of these troubled Roland.

But this is his fate.

It shouldn't be Enid's.

"That's right."

"You can't always count on the giant bat to come down from the sky."
-
I hope it stays this way forever, Wrench.
-
No one wants to work if they can be lazy... I want to die on the sofa and in my quilt.

However, Louis Heyman's words finally made Roland alert.

He said.

There is a problem with the path of the Holy Flame.

Roland didn't want Enid to use the power of the ritualist before he figured out the matter - at least, not on him.
-
correct.
-
Why aren't you showing off your power today?

"I have never shown my teeth and claws."
-
I just blocked you.

"It doesn't matter, because I already know what you did."

"whee."

Roland: ...

"The big bat is quite old, and the food it eats is all over the place."

Roland: ...

"O-shaped mouth, right?"

Roland: ...

Enid was stunned by someone's inexplicable look.

"What's on my face?"

Roland sighed.

I’ll add one more item to my tired notes: Enid Jutia’s road problem.
-
I am only a second-ringed ritualist, but I have to worry about the health of an eighth-ringed ritualist.

“So human love is really disgusting.”

"If she is dead, she is not worthy to be your spouse."
-
That's so cold, Spanner.

"No, I'm not indifferent. It's just that you and I have different ideas. For me, only a spouse who is strong enough has the qualifications to crawl at my feet."
-
Then be stronger...

"You can stand beside me."
-
Then be stronger...

"I can trample you to death, aren't you annoying?"

"O-shaped mouth or big bat, which nickname do you think sounds better? I'm going to change it for her."

Roland felt that it was precisely because he was given a favorite name that Wrench was so keen on giving nicknames to everyone who came into contact with him.

I was actually a little touched.

Are you imitating me?

"I don't know what you're thinking, but you'd better stop thinking about it."

Roland chuckled.

"By the way, Enid. Is the ritual of Chandel over?"

They made an appointment.

——Before the Ring-raising Ceremony, Shandel told Roland the approximate end time.

Now, the time has come.

"I am not sure."

Enid turned her head away and looked through the glass at London at night.

"Maybe she ran into some trouble, and something went wrong with the ritual, so it will take longer to prepare again."

Roland nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
