On the other side, after Uriel said "I can give you a chance to perform", some changes occurred inside the loft.
In places invisible to the naked eye, circles of ripples emerged out of thin air, and some of these invisible ripples were integrated into Uriel's body.
Uriel, who was originally a little depressed, suddenly became calmer, as if he was a different person.
Facing Uriel like this, Luigi didn't feel too strange.
Because the current Uriel feels a bit like when he played the piano at the second floor window. On the contrary, it was the depressed and confused Uriel before, which made Luigi feel a little uncomfortable.
In addition to Uriel's changes, there are also changes on Luigi's side.
A small part of those circles of ripples turned into information flow and was sensed by Luigi.
"Special Dream "Uriel's Choice" Main Mission 3 - Uriel's Approval: Obtain Uriel's approval through harp performance."
"Please note that this task can be challenged once per day."
"The time you can challenge every day is not fixed. The specific challenge time will be announced by Wonderland prompts."
"The challenge period is limited to seven days. If it is not approved after seven days, main mission 3 will be considered a failure."
"Currently you can start the main mission 3."
"Number of possible challenges: 7."
After Luigi read this fairyland prompt, it took him a while to understand what it meant.
He has seven days to challenge, and he has one challenge opportunity every day. The daily challenge time is not fixed, and he needs to be notified by the fairyland prompt to confirm whether he can challenge currently.
If 7 consecutive challenges are not approved by Uriel, the main mission will automatically fail.
What changes will happen after failure? The Wonderland prompt did not say... However, this is not important, Luigi is still very confident in this challenge.
If there is only one challenge this time and it must be challenged immediately, he will most likely fail. But since seven days are given, there is a chance for a comeback.
He may indeed not be able to surpass the top three seats in the Imperial Music Orchestra.
However, when it comes to music, sometimes it’s not just about the technique of playing, but also about the music score!
Luigi thinks that his skills are pretty good, even if they are not as good as the top three in the Imperial Music Orchestra mentioned by Uriel, the gap should not be too big.
In short, Luigi's playing skills are passable.
As long as he is technically qualified, he can rely on high-quality music scores to improve his performance and gain Uriel's approval.
Of course, Luigi didn't have any unique music scores at this time.
But he has time, he can go offline, and he still has plug-ins!
Seven days is actually not a short time. He can take advantage of this time to cast a wide net to search for music scores. The Ancient Tooth Fairy has many cherished music scores, but in the past, Luigi preferred to create his own original works, so he did not buy them;
Also, a regular multi-ethnic gathering is about to start, and maybe he can get precious music scores at this gathering.
Even if it doesn't work, there's still Angel.
He could ask Angel to find some music scores.
Uriel is from the Western Continent, and the Western Continent has completely cut off contact with the Southern Territory in the past thousand years. He has never heard of the recent music scores in the Southern Territory. In the Southern Territory, there must be someone who has created top music scores in the past thousand years.
Just "borrow" it and use it.
It is precisely with these thoughts in mind that Luigi is confident about this challenge.
Of course, relying on external forces is only a fallback for him, and Luigi has not completely given up on independent challenges.
At this moment, Luigi nodded in front of Uriel without hesitation: "Okay, I accept the challenge."
Uriel sat back on the sofa silently, his eyes fixed on Luigi.
The information flow converges again——
"The main mission 3 is being launched. Uriel will return to the 'dream' state after the mission is successfully launched."
"This 'dream' state lasts for: 36 minutes."
"Please start the challenge while the 'dream' state is maintained."
"The 'dream' state is about to open."
"Countdown 1:59"
"Countdown 1:58"
"..."
The focus of this information flow is undoubtedly "dreaming". This is also the second time that Wonderland prompts mention the so-called "dreaming" state.
From the information given by the fairyland prompts, we can get an implicit intelligence: Uriel escaped from the "dream" state not long ago.
It is precisely because of leaving the dream state that there is an operation to return to the dream state.
But Luigi clearly remembered that when Uriel came down from the second floor, the information flow at that time clearly said "Uriel will enter the 'dream' state in the main mission 2."
In other words, Uriel was actually in a dream state before, but because he completed the main mission 2, Uriel exited the dream state?
Thinking about it again, Luigi somewhat understood Uriel's mental outlook before.
——Dejected, confused, like a daydreaming state, this is the so-called "dream" state.
When Uriel returned to a calm state before, he broke away from the dream state.
Although Luigi has come to this conclusion, he still doesn't understand at this time, what is the difference between the dream state and the ordinary state?
However, Luigi didn't think much about it because the countdown had already started to reach zero.
Next, it will be his performance time.
Although he could choose any time to perform within the 36 minutes, Luigi did not delay, but confidently raised the harp in his hand at the moment the countdown ended.
Under Uriel's misty gaze, the melodious music of the piano slowly floated...
…
Outside the fairyland copy.
"It's a dream again. This dream state always feels very unusual." Angel muttered in a low voice.
Gleipnir whispered: "Not only is it unusual, I guess that this dream state may be the only variable in the fairyland copy."
"Variable?" Angel looked at Gleipnir in confusion.
Gleipnir: "Why can't I challenge Main Mission 3 at a fixed time? Instead, I need to confirm whether I can challenge it through the Wonderland prompt?"
"In my opinion, there is only one possibility for this situation. There is a variable that even the Wonderland copy cannot control."
"Because of this variable, the Wonderland copy cannot be sure when it can be challenged."
"In Main Mission 3, the only person who may have variables is Uriel. But Uriel himself is a gifted subject. Since he is a gifted subject, he must be restricted by the power of the fairyland, and there cannot be variables.
"
At first, Gleipnir was still explaining, but as she continued to talk, she became immersed in her own thoughts. Her answer was more like showing her own thinking process.
"Just when I was puzzled, I saw the second fairyland prompt: "Please start the challenge within the duration of the 'dream' state."
"This prompt is very strange. Why do you have to be in a dream state to challenge? Can't you challenge in a normal state?"
"Wonderland prompts that it is impossible to say something useless. The only possibility is that the dream state is very special, which determines whether the main task 3 can be completed."
"This reminds me of the question at the beginning. Main mission 3 cannot be challenged at a fixed time. Is it because it can only be challenged when Uriel is in a dream state?"
"Then, isn't the dream state the only variable?"
Graipnir explained her deduction process completely. Both Angel and Laplace could understand what she meant, but there were actually flaws in her words.
To be called a variable means that it is uncontrollable.
But the main task 3 clearly states: it can be challenged within 7 days, and it can be challenged once a day.
This sentence actually represents a kind of "order", or... law.
Since there is order and certain rules, it is difficult to call it a disordered variable.
However, Gleipnir's words are not wrong. At least Angel feels that the state of dreams is indeed very strange. Maybe it involves the secret of Dreamland?
Perhaps, after this is over, we can focus on checking this "dream" state?
Time passed slowly, and after a quarter of an hour, Luigi's performance came to an end.
Luigi didn't know what Uriel thought, but he was already immersed in the beautiful melody, and even after it ended, the aftertaste was still lingering in his ears.
"I have also learned a lot of skills from the topic tactics in the past few days. This performance should be not much different from my peak performance." Luigi was a little narcissistic. After the performance,
I even couldn't help but want to recite a poem.
However, before he could speak, he was interrupted by Angel.
"Although I am talking to you now, it was Graipnir who asked me to interrupt your poem recitation." Angel: "There is no need to wonder why she knew that you wanted to recite poems. According to Gleipnir's words
Say, when your butt rises, she will know that you can't hold it in any longer."
"She asked me to tell you that now is not the time to recite poetry."
Angel's message was actually processed. Gleipnir's original words were "If you say that bad poem, it will 100% lower your score." However, Angel did not say the second half of the sentence.
exit.
The main reason is that from Angel's point of view, although his performance this time was good, it was not yet top-notch, and there was a high probability that he would not be recognized by Uriel. When he was not recognized, he was even beaten into reciting poems. Angel
I really can't bear it.
As the person involved, Luigi certainly didn't feel that his performance was bad. He looked at Uriel with confidence and waited for Uriel to give his comments.
But the development of things was completely different from what he imagined.
Uriel didn't say anything, and his whole person turned into an illusory bubble and disappeared.
Looking at the empty attic, Luigi was confused: "What happened? Why is the person missing?"
Just when Luigi felt confused, a familiar flow of information arrived as expected.
"Special Dream "Uriel's Choice" Main Mission 3, Challenge Failed."
"The current level can reach: the twentieth seat of the Imperial Music Ensemble. (The Imperial Music Ensemble has a total of twenty-one seats)"
"The main mission 3 cannot be started at the moment. (You need to wait for the Wonderland prompt for the next start time)"
"Number of possible challenges: 6."
Looking at this row of messages, Luigi fell silent.
It turns out that it wasn't Uriel who disappeared, but that he failed in the challenge. It's just that... he failed in the challenge and didn't even say a word? Even the evaluation was given by Wonderland prompts.
At least, Uriel wants to tell you where he can't go anymore? He obviously thinks that the performance is good in every place...
This made Luigi very upset.
Moreover, his level actually only reached the 20th seat of the Imperial Music Orchestra, surpassing only one person?
According to the instructions given in the mission, if you want to get Uriel's recognition, you have to reach the level of the top three seats in the Imperial Music Orchestra, which is too far away.
Besides, not everyone in the Imperial Music Ensemble can play the harp. Isn’t this kind of evaluation biased?
The sorting should be done by musicians who understand the harp, not mixed together!
Luigi was screaming in his heart that he was being wronged, but he also knew that the mechanism behind the fairyland copy was power, and in a big way, it was law.
Looking for rules to redress grievances and suffering is like playing the harp to an ox, which is totally useless.
Next, Luigi wandered around the attic again and found that he could not go to the second floor or go out. It seemed that there was an invisible wall blocking his progress... This also meant that he was locked up on the first floor.
You can go offline, but you cannot exit the instance.
This situation is equivalent to returning to the previous state.
He originally thought that after clearing the Wonderland dungeon today, he would go to the Wilderness of Dreams to meet Teacher Jon with his own eyes, but now it seems that he has to postpone it again.
"Uriel is gone. He will probably come out tomorrow when the main mission 3 can be started." Luigi sighed: "I can't leave now, and I have the only way to go offline."
There was no one in the attic, so Luigi naturally said this to Angel.
"By the way, I may not be able to complete this task by myself. I don't know if I can..." Luigi changed his expression and said in a flattering tone.
Angel also understood what Luigi meant, which was to use extraneous means to help him with this task.
"...We will discuss this later when we go offline." It was said to be a discussion, but Angel had actually decided to help. Firstly, it would not be difficult to help find the music score; secondly, he also wanted to know the follow-up of this task.
What.
Luigi also understood that it was inappropriate to speak through the dungeon like this, so he didn't say anything more and went offline first.
…
At the same time, far away in space and time.
The Dasman Empire, a corner of Auroville.
A shabby little attic seemed to be covered with a thin layer of gold powder under the sunlight.
The surrounding shops and streets also wake up to the call of the morning bird.
When the streets became crowded, the balcony on the second floor of the small attic was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a white shirt came out with a yawn.
His expression was a little depressed, as if he hadn't woken up yet. He was leaning lazily on the guardrail of the balcony, his eyes slightly dull, as if he was in a daze.
It wasn't until the morning singing from the glorious church not far away that his eyes regained some brilliance.
The Glory Church has morning hymns, afternoon hymns and evening gospels. The reason why he chose to rent such a shabby attic was to listen closely to the Glory Church's three daily prayers.
For others, praying three times is a matter of faith, but for him, it is about appreciating a high-level performance.
The characteristic of morning singing is the combination of the pure voice of children and the playing of the harp, which makes people feel like a clear spring flowing in the heart. Anyone who hears morning singing will be full of energy and start a vibrant day.
In the past, when he listened to singing, he always paid attention to the choir's singing, but today for some unknown reason, his thoughts were always attracted by the sound of the harp in the background.
Listening to the elegant and clear sound of the harp, he seemed to have thought of something, and whispered softly: "I had a dream last night, and there seemed to be someone in the dream, playing the harp like this?"
