Along with the question "Who are you?", a fairyland reminder appeared in front of Uriel.
"Main mission 4 is officially launched."
"The duration of this 'dream' state is: 50 minutes."
"Countdown: 49:59"
"Countdown: 49:58"
…
The launch of the main quest means that every question Uriel asks and every answer Luigi gives will now become variables, affecting the outcome of the instance.
Therefore, even if Uriel just asked "Who are you", Luigi did not answer immediately, but was prepared to calculate it silently in his heart and consider every word before answering.
However, before Luigi could think of how to answer, Uriel on the other side spoke first: "I remembered you. You were...recommended by him."
At first, Luigi didn't realize who the "he" in Uriel's mouth was referring to.
Until Uriel murmured in a low voice: "Not only did he give you a letter of recommendation, but he also gave you his badge. According to the rules of Birmingham Yinden College, he gave up his identity, and you are his successor."
"
Hearing this, Luigi also came back to his senses. The "him" in Uriel's mouth refers to the clown in the Cirque du Soleil replica.
At first, Luigi got a letter of recommendation from the clown in the Circus of the Suns dungeon, and then he had the opportunity to come to the Uriel dungeon.
When the circus dungeon was settled, Luigi eliminated all kinds of powerful rewards and chose the "Badge of Birmingham Yinden College" that the clown had taken out to make up the numbers. Only then did Uriel look at him and gave it to him.
The opportunity to go to the "dream stage".
In a sense, the clown who did not appear was the biggest variable in the Uriel copy.
Without clowns, there would be no option to have a "dream stage".
Uriel raised his head and glanced at Luigi with a slightly depressed look: "As his successor, do you plan to inherit his identity now?"
Along with Uriel's question, a familiar fairyland prompt appeared in Luigi's mind.
"Please note that every word you say may affect the subsequent plot development."
Luigi immediately understood that this issue was critical and was a decision that affected the outcome of the copy.
Based on the information currently known to Lu, it is not easy to analyze how to choose this issue.
However, Luigi has experienced the main mission 2 before, which was also a conversation, and variables will also occur during the conversation. So Luigi knows that when Uriel asks, he does not need to give an answer immediately, he can still
You can also glean some other information from Uriel's mouth, and then give an answer based on the information.
Thinking of this, Luigi asked directly: "Does it make any difference whether I inherit his identity or not?"
Uriel did not answer immediately, lowering his head as if thinking about how to answer.
And this thought only lasts a few minutes.
Luigi could not wait to step forward and shake Uriel's shoulders to wake him up. Uriel slowly said: "He is not only my student, but also the most outstanding graduate of Birmingham Yidian College. He
His reputation as a genius is the biggest golden name in the industry."
"Even the chief executive of the Imperial Music Orchestra values him extremely."
"So, if you inherit his identity, it also means you inherit everything about him."
"You will become a genius like him, and you will have his reputation. When you go to the chief with a letter of recommendation, you will be highly regarded by the chief, and your future will become extremely easy..."
Before Uriel could speak, he was interrupted by Luigi.
Luigi: "Simply put, this is a paved road? Right?"
Uriel: "You can say that. Do you think the paved road is not good?"
Luigi nodded without hesitation: "Of course it's not good. You have prepared this paved road for him. And he is him and I am me. If I accept this identity and become a clown, then
Who became me?”
Uriel looked directly at Luigi: "I remember that your goal is the stage of dreams. If you inherit his identity, you can also board the stage of dreams, and it will be easier to board."
Luigi: "Even if it's easier to get on the dream stage,... that's not me."
"Even if I want to get on the stage of my dreams, it can only be me, not someone else's identity. Although I am a performer, I am not a stage performer. I can't act.
.”
"I will always be me, and it can only be me."
Uriel: "Is this your answer?"
Luigi did not hesitate this time and nodded: "Yes."
Even if Luigi knew that his answer would affect the settlement of the instance, he was unwilling to change it.
He is grateful for the opportunity the clown gave him, but he doesn't want to become a clown.
On any stage, even if it is not the stage of his dreams, he must stage it himself, rather than stage it as someone else.
Uriel took a deep look at Luigi and nodded gently: "I understand, then..."
"Who are you?"
Luigi was stunned. This was the second time Uriel asked him who he was today.
For the first time, Uriel talked to himself and defined him as a person recommended by the Joker. In a sense, he defined him as a person inseparable from the Joker.
But this time, Uriel's inquiry was a real inquiry.
Obviously, this was the change caused by Luigi's previous answer.
Since you are not someone else and you can only be you, then who are you...?
Luigi: "My name is Luigi, a harpist."
For the first time, Luigi announced his name in front of Uriel.
"Luigi..." Uriel muttered the name repeatedly. After a long time, he said: "I have never heard of your name. It is a strange name to the Imperial Music Group and the entire Dasman Empire.
.”
"If you go to find the chief in this capacity, even if you have a letter of recommendation, it will be difficult for you to get the chief's attention."
If Luigi wants to get on the stage of his dreams, he must get the chief's approval.
And if Luigi goes to see the Chief as himself, it will definitely be much harder to get recognition than if he goes as the "Joker".
"So, are you really sure that you want to meet the chief with such a strange identity?"
Luigi nodded again: "Of course, identity is important, but more important is the technique of playing."
In other words, although Luigi cannot rely on his "background" to win, he can rely on his skills in playing the harp to gain the chief's approval.
Uriel: "Well, if you insist, then I approve your choice... Luigi."
This time, Uriel called out Luigi's name, instead of defining Luigi's identity as a clown.
Luigi understood that the first variable had passed, but he still didn't know what impact his choice would have. However, even if he knew, he would still choose this way.
As a performer, you should focus on the job in hand rather than your identity and background.
Uriel: "The chief conductor of the Empire Music Ensemble is named Charlotte. She is a person who attaches great importance to birth. In her eyes, only by being influenced by music from birth can one go on this artistic path.
further."
"So, I don't know whether your choice is right or wrong."
"Your persistence may only cause trouble to yourself."
Luigi shrugged: "Since Chief Charlotte values birth so much, then everyone who joins the entire Empire Music Ensemble must come from an artistic family?"
Uriel: "Of course not. There are also civilian musicians who have come up step by step."
Luigi: "Since Chief Charlotte can tolerate civilian musicians in the music troupe, she should also be able to tolerate me."
Uriel shook his head slightly: "It's not up to me whether I can accommodate you. However, talents who come from the common people must have rich interpretation experience and extremely advanced interpretation skills, otherwise they want to be the chief
The sight is still difficult."
Luigi shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Isn't that what you're talking about?"
Uriel didn't react at all to Luigi's boastful expression, but Angel, who was standing next to him outside, felt his hands were a little itchy.
Uriel: "You do have superb interpretation skills. The music you played before was qualified to be the finale even if it was placed in the Imperial Music Orchestra."
Uriel did not hesitate to praise Luigi.
Then, Uriel continued: "Since you passed my test, I will give you the letter of recommendation as promised."
"Besides, I like the music you play very much, so I will write you an additional letter as an introduction in addition to the letter of recommendation."
Hearing this, Angel finally understood. Uriel had taken out the letter paper earlier to write an additional letter of introduction to Luigi.
Uriel: "However, I originally thought you would choose to inherit his identity. In this way, if I write a letter of introduction to Chief Charlotte, she will have a greater chance of recognizing you."
"But now, since you have decided to enter this vortex as Luigi, I feel that even with my letter of introduction, she may not be able to value you."
In short, Luigi's previous choice changed Uriel's original plan.
"So, I can give you another option now."
"You can continue to choose to have me write a letter of introduction to Charlotte, or you can replace this letter of introduction with a letter of challenge from Gulemo. I will endorse it, but you use your own name to challenge him."
After Uriel finished speaking, the familiar fairyland prompt came again. Obviously, this is also an important choice node.
Luigi: "Who is Gullimo? Why should I challenge him?"
Upon hearing Luigi's question, Uriel did not answer immediately, but lowered his head, seeming to be pondering to himself on how to answer.
This is the second time this has happened.
Every time he asks a rhetorical question at a key node, Uriel thinks for a long time. Perhaps, this is also the hidden mechanism of the main task 4. The "dream" state has a limited time, so you can ask a rhetorical question, but every time you ask a rhetorical question, Uliel will be confused.
If you fall into a retrieval state for a period of time, it is easy to waste your "dreaming" time, so you don't have many opportunities to ask questions.
A few more minutes passed before Uriel's confused eyes slowly returned to normal: "Gu Lai Mo is the tutor of Yin Dian College in Birmingham. He was also the finale of the last stage of the nations."
The stage of the nations was mentioned by Uriel before in the main mission 2.
It is an art feast held by the Dasman Empire and other nearby countries, once every twenty years. Gu Lai Mo was the biggest winner on the stage of the previous countries.
"He is also good at playing the harp. Therefore, if you challenge him in the field of harp and win, you will gain a supreme reputation not only in the Dasman Empire, but also in the surrounding countries."
"At that time, if you go to see Chief Charlotte with your recommendation letter, she will definitely approve of you."
In other words, Guilemo is a springboard. A springboard to bypass the clown's identity and gain Charlotte's recognition as Luigi himself.
Luigi pondered for a moment: "If it is the harp field, I am willing to compete with him... But, is this man named Gu Laimo really willing to accept my challenge?"
Uriel: "Don't worry about this. With my endorsement, he will definitely accept your challenge. Because..."
Uli paused, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes: "Because, he used to be my colleague, but our relationship was not good. He hated me extremely, and he also hated everyone related to me..."
As for the reason for the hatred, Uriel did not go into details.
But if Luigi challenges Gullimo in the name of Uriel, the other party will definitely accept the challenge.
Luigi thought for a while and finally nodded: "I am willing to challenge Gu Laimo..."
Although Luigi felt that relying on pedals to get Charlotte to identify with her was a bit too naive; he also knew that different worlds and different civilizations have their own inherent class stereotypes.
If Charlotte really values "reputation", then Uriel's proposal is definitely the best solution.
Since it is the optimal solution, why not try it?
Luigi: "I wonder when can I challenge you?"
"It's not urgent. I will write him a letter of challenge. You just need to wait."
Luigi: "Didn't the challenge letter be given to me? Don't you need me to come and challenge it in person?"
Luigi thought that the challenge letter was "a ticket to the new dungeon", but from what Uriel meant, it seemed that the challenge letter was sent by Uriel himself?
Uriel nodded: "Just let me send it. If he hears about your challenge, he will definitely come to me."
"So, you just need to stay here and wait for his arrival."
As he spoke, Uriel picked up the quill and quickly erased the sentence "Dear Chief Charlotte, long time no see" on the letter and changed it to "Gu Lai Mo, long time no see"...
The words condense quickly under the pen.
However, these words were chaos in Luigi's eyes.
Even when Angel went to see it, he only saw a entanglement of various fairyland information, and no actual text appeared.
In the middle of writing, Uriel suddenly turned his head and looked at Luigi: "By the way, can you tell me the name of the music you played before?"
Luigi subconsciously replied: "The Black Sheep Confession Song."
Uriel said "Oh" and continued to write.
Soon, Uriel finished writing the entire "Challenge Letter". When he finished writing, the Challenge Letter turned into countless light spots and dispersed in the air.
Looking at the light spots in the air, Uriel was a little confused, as if he didn't understand why the challenge letter dissipated like this?
However, the confusion did not last long.
Because Uriel's "dream" state slowly receded as the light spots dissipated.
