In the dungeon where time and space were mostly static, Luigi suddenly heard a cough, which startled him. However, he soon realized the source of the cough.
"Is it Angel?" Luigi asked in a low voice.
Angel: "It's me, Ms. Laplace is also beside me, watching you."
Luigi scratched his head: "Why are you here again?"
And? Angel: "What? From your tone, you don't want us to come?"
Luigi sighed and sat down on the dusty ground: "That's not what I meant. Even if you look at me, I'm a little embarrassed to start the main line again."
Angel still remembered that the last time he came here, he didn't have this kind of mentality. Now he suddenly felt shy. It can only be said that his thoughts have changed drastically during this period.
As for where the change came from? Angel silently glanced at Laplace.
Laplace said calmly: "He feels embarrassed."
Angel truthfully relayed these words to Luigi.
Luigi's expression showed a rare look of surprise: "It's quite embarrassing. I obviously think this challenge is not difficult, but I don't know why, but there is no progress every time. I have restarted it ten times now, and I was still confident at the beginning.
But now I’m a little confused.”
Restarting the main storyline ten times is actually not too much. If the cycle continues without rest in between, Luigi can even restart hundreds of times at this time.
The reason why it's only ten times is purely because every time Luigi fails, he will judge himself.
At the beginning, the self-summary was just a summary of his own shortcomings, but later on, Luigi's failure also shook his confidence, causing his summary to take longer and longer, because... he also had to do some psychological self-construction.
.
But so far, there is still no progress, which makes Luigi less and less confident.
It was precisely because he lacked the confidence to move forward that he showed resistance to the onlookers of Angel and Laplace.
Looking at the depressed Luigi, Angel didn't know how to comfort him. He could only say: "How about taking a rest before challenging?"
Luigi immediately shook his head: "I'm not tired, and I will never escape."
Angel: "I'm not asking you to escape, I just think you may need to calm down now."
Luigi still shook his head: "My mood is actually very calm."
Angel was about to say 'I can't tell', but Laplace on the side said first: "His mood is indeed very calm, and his ability to self-regulate is the best among all my incarnations."
"It's just that calmness doesn't mean anything to him now."
Angel: "If he can really calm down, it will be meaningful. At least he can understand the current situation."
At this point, Angel re-established the conversation with Luigi.
"If you are calm now, you should be able to analyze why you keep failing."
Luigi was silent for a long time this time, and then said in a low and inaudible voice: "Maybe I misunderstood Uriel's heart, or... it's because of my lack of accomplishments."
Angel: "Since you know that your achievements are insufficient, you still follow Uriel to fight. Is it because your confidence collapses not fast enough?"
Luigi said weakly: "Didn't I say there are two possibilities? Maybe I misunderstood Uriel's heart. As long as I can correctly understand Uriel's thoughts, maybe it will be over."
Angel: "Do you believe it yourself?"
Luigi held his head in his hands and was silent for more than ten seconds, mussing his hair, and then sighed: "I admit, it's because of my lack of accomplishments."
"But...I don't want to give up either."
Angel: "I didn't tell you to give up, nor did I encourage you to escape. I just said that you can choose to be quiet."
"What do you mean?" Luigi raised his head blankly and looked at the sky, as if he really saw Angel outside the box garden through the false sky.
Angel said angrily: "What else do you mean? You can't clear the level now, and you don't want to give up the main plot, so you can't get out of the dungeon. Then there is only one way, which is to log off."
"As for what to do offline? It must be learning. If your attainments are not enough, then go and learn! Learn enough to be able to talk to Uriel, and then attack this dungeon."
Luigi thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense: "But, who should I learn from?"
Angel: "Don't you know anyone who understands art?"
Luigi shook his head: "I don't know if anyone in the Sun Mirror Realm is proficient in piano."
Angel was about to speak when Laplace suddenly said: "Piano, why piano? If he wants to improve his attainments, shouldn't it be the harp?"
Angel conveyed these words to Luigi. After hearing this, Luigi said seriously: "I can confirm that my harp skills are enough. What I don't understand is Uriel's piano."
In Luigi's view, the so-called lack of attainments does not refer to a lack of harp attainments, but a lack of appreciation of the piano and a lack of depth and breadth in the artistic field.
Angel was noncommittal about this. Luigi's harp skills were indeed top-notch. He couldn't pass the main plot of this dungeon. It was because he was too partial to science.
Some people always say that music is the best communication language, or that music is universal.
This point, understood in a broad sense, Angel does not deny.
But if you dig into the details, you will find that there is actually a certain barrier between musical instruments.
Of course, there is also music that is well integrated through different instruments, but there is a premise, that is, the creator of this music has a deep understanding of different instruments; or in other words, two players of different instruments communicate through
, complement each other, and then jointly create music played by multiple instruments.
But in Luigi's current situation, it's neither of the two.
He was not familiar with the piano, and there was no piano master to communicate with him. He relied entirely on his talent in musicality to solve Uriel's knot.
But no matter how high your musical talent is, you can't see the sun through the screen window.
Therefore, if he does not want to give up this task, the only thing he can do is to go offline and find someone who knows how to learn.
Angel: "If we just talk about piano, I have a recommended candidate. He is also a good teacher."
Luigi: "You mean humans?"
Angel nodded without any hesitation and said: "He is a human being, and he is also my enlightenment mentor."
Luigi trusts Angel's advice, but...
"Is he your first tutor? So he really has time to teach me piano?" Luigi: "I mean, what I want to learn is not piano, but the art of piano and the understanding of piano."
These are all theoretical things, and they actually take more time than simply learning piano.
In Luigi's opinion, Angel's mentor must also be a wizard. Wizards should all be studying the so-called truth. Do they really have time to teach him piano theory?
Angel also understood what Luigi meant and said with a smile: "My enlightenment mentor is an ordinary person. Because of his illness, he can only stay in the wilderness of dreams all year round. So, you don't have to worry, his time is
Yes, and he is still teaching piano to two children every day."
The so-called ‘children’ naturally refer to Ada and Shani.
Luigi's eyes lit up: "So you mean, let me go to the Wilderness of Dreams to learn piano from your enlightenment tutor. After I have achieved success, I can untie Uriel's heart knot?"
Angel nodded.
The more Luigi thought about it, the more he realized that this method was very feasible, and that learning piano would also be very helpful in broadening his artistic breadth.
"This is indeed very good, but is this considered cheating?" Luigi murmured in a low voice.
Angel blurted out without realizing it: "Can studying be considered cheating?"
Luigi always felt that there was something wrong with the logic of Angel's words, but he didn't think about it anymore. To pass the level, he could only improve his artistic attainments. Moreover, since Angel had given a candidate, he thought that the other person was indeed a piano master.
If he is that kind of top master, he may not need to study for too long before he can find the key to cracking it.
"Then I will log off and find you now. Are you still in Qingkong Poetry Room?"
Angel: "No, I'm in the heart space. You can come to the heart space first."
Heart space? Question marks appeared in Luigi's eyes.
"You will know the specific situation after you log off." Angel did not explain much. No matter how much he explained, it would not be as fast as Laplace's information sharing after Luigi went offline.
Luigi stopped delving into it, nodded, and disappeared, obviously offline.
Although Luigi has gone offline, "Uriel's Choice" has not disappeared. He still maintains a state of stillness in time and space. The only living place is the one-third of an acre of land outside the attic.
Even though Luigi has disappeared, this unfrozen time and space is still as fresh as ever, as if waiting for Luigi's return.
…
Half an hour later, Luigi arrived in the heart space.
When he saw Angel, his expression was full of complexity... He really didn't expect that he just wandered in Wonderland for a while, and as a result, the outside world changed in ways he couldn't imagine.
The initiator of these changes was Angel.
Luigi hesitated again and again, but finally did not express his opinion on Heart Space and Angel's actions.
After all, he had gotten all the information from Laplace, including Laplace's views on Angel.
He is not like Gleipnir who likes to think about things. Since even the main body has shown an unprecedented friendly attitude toward Angel, he can just follow the "Supreme" intention.
"Should we go to see your mentor now? Do I need to bring a gift?" Luigi put aside the complicated thoughts and refocused on what was most important to him.
Angel: "No need, and you can't bring it in either."
If you want to bring a gift, you can only use the Dream Conch. But if you use the mysterious object in the Billon Tree Garden... let's forget it.
"Just follow me." Angel waved his hand casually, and an eye opened in the heart space. In the center of the eye slit is a mirror passage, which can directly reach the buffer space.
Angel walked out with Luigi.
Before leaving, he did not forget Laplace: "Are you going to visit the Wilderness of Dreams?"
Laplace shook his head: "No, if Luigi goes, it means I go."
Angel:...It's convenient for you.
With a hint of envy, Angel and Luigi left the heart space.
Laplace originally thought that Luigi would not come back for ten days and a half after leaving. After all, even if it was just learning theoretical knowledge, it would take time to digest it. But what she never expected was that,
Not to mention ten days and a half, Luigi only left for less than five minutes and came back.
…
Five minutes later, Laplace looked at Angel and Luigi, his eyes full of confusion.
However, the doubt lasted only for a moment, as he shared Luigi's mind, and what happened to Luigi was immediately felt by Laplace.
"Can Luigi enter the Wilderness of Dreams?" Laplace asked in surprise.
According to Luigi's memory surface, after he went to reality, he fell asleep but could not even step on the Dream Bridge. This was completely different from the situation in the Dream Crystal Plains.
Angel also nodded helplessly. Indeed, Luigi could not enter the Wilderness of Dreams.
Angel could clearly sense Luigi wandering outside the Dream Bridge, but he was unable to pull Luigi onto the Dream Bridge.
It's as if Luigi and the Wilderness of Dreams are in a state of separation.
Laplace: "Is it because the Field of Dreams excludes non-human beings?"
Angel shook his head: "No, there are too many non-human beings in the Wilderness of Dreams, and there are even half-legendary elemental creatures..."
Elemental creatures are found in every world. Since elemental creatures can enter the Wilderness of Dreams, why can't Luigi enter?
Angel: "I don't know the specific situation, but I have a guess."
Laplace: "What guess?"
Angel pondered: "Maybe it's because the Dream Wilderness and the Dream Crystal Plain share the same body. Not only that, Luigi's freedom is also restricted by power."
The so-called power restriction refers to the fact that the power of Dreamland restricts Luigi's freedom. After all, according to the rules, Luigi is still trapped in the copy of "Uriel's Choice" at this time.
In addition, the Field of Dreams and the Field of Dreams share the same body. Since Luigi's body is trapped in a copy of the Field of Dreams, there is naturally no way to go to the Field of Dreams.
Angel: "Whether this conjecture is true or not, we just need to test it."
Laplace immediately guessed what Angel was thinking: "You mean, let me enter the wilderness of dreams?"
Angel nodded.
Laplace is different from Luigi. She is not trapped in the dungeon and is a free person. If she can enter the Wilderness of Dreams, then Angel's guess is right!
Laplace thought for a while and finally nodded: "Okay."
"However, even if I enter the Wilderness of Dreams, I won't be of much help to Luigi."
Laplace could at most help Angel test whether Luigi couldn't enter because of the dungeon, or whether he couldn't enter on his own.
But she was completely unable to help Luigi want to learn piano and the corresponding theoretical knowledge.
Angel also understands this. The only solution for now is to go see Jon and see if he has a way to untie Uriel's heart. If that doesn't work, Angel can only find a piano again.
