After Gulemo finished speaking, he returned to the study.
He did not play again this time, but held the music score of "Black Sheep Confession Song" and looked at it silently.
In his eyes, this was no longer a piece of paper filled with notes... He saw countless pictures, all of which emerged from the notes.
It was also the scene he saw when he played before.
He saw the raging religion and heard the weeping of the people.
He smelled the smell of blood under the god's robe and felt the burning sensation of the flames burning his body.
When the Cathedral of Heaven collapsed in flames, "The Confession of the Black Sheep" also came to an abrupt end. But the images in Gulemo's mind did not stop, but more emerged.
However, the scenes produced by these "aftermaths" have nothing to do with "Black Sheep Confession Song", they all become the sister and Uriel.
Gulemo saw the image of himself blocking his sister from running towards Uriel.
I also saw myself sneaking into the audience, watching my sister and Uriel shine on the stage.
I also saw the scene of the priest of the Glory Church angrily scolding my sister.
And the last picture is of Uriel kneeling in front of him and crying...
"well……"
Gulemo let out a long sigh, and suddenly felt as if he had lost his strength. He leaned limply on the back of the chair and looked out the window dreamily.
It was as if I saw my sister's smiling face in the bright night sky.
until.
The wall clock made a "cuckoo" sound when it reached the right time, awakening Gulemo who was immersed in himself.
He looked up and saw that the night sky, which was originally full of stars, had been obscured by thick clouds; and his sister's appearance had completely disappeared.
Everything is just his bubble and fantasy.
"It's half past eight." Gulemo murmured in a low voice, "It's time to rest..."
Gulemo stood up slowly and walked towards the bedroom.
The light in the bedroom is on, and Xiaobao is sleeping soundly on the bed, holding a pure white kitten.
Gulemo looked at Xiaobao's childish and cute look, raised a smile on his lips, gently lifted up the quilt, and leaned in.
"Good night."
Gulemo said silently, then closed his eyes, and soon fell into a dark and sweet dream.
…
"The star climbing challenge is about to begin."
Who is speaking?
In a daze, Gulemo seemed to hear a voice echoing in his mind.
"The star climbing challenge is about to begin."
Star climbing challenge?
Isn't this a challenge at Eden College Birmingham? Why do I hear this noise in my ears? Am I back at the College?
"The star climbing challenge is about to begin."
Why does it keep repeating?
Who is going to take on the star climbing challenge? Which star to climb? The black and white star that represents the piano? Or the elegant star that represents the violin? Or the shepherd's star that represents the flute?
"Please choose a witness for the duel."
Another voice appeared in Gulemo's mind.
Before Gulemo could regain his senses, he felt rays of light suddenly light up in front of his dark eyes. However, these rays of light did not shine, they just allowed people to see the figures in front of them clearly.
Figures? Why are there figures? And five figures appeared at once?
Gulemo felt that his mind was in a blur, and he didn't even know why he was looking at these figures.
Obviously he should be surprised, but he doesn't seem to have many emotions or even many thoughts at this time. It's as if he is drunk, his thoughts are in fragments, and he is numb to all feedback from the outside world...
"Please choose a witness for the duel."
Gulemo heard the sound again, he rubbed his eyes, and the five figures not far away gradually began to become clearer.
Although most of them were facing the light and could only see their somewhat dim faces, Gulemo still recognized their identities.
There is the current student union president wearing the uniform of Eden College in Birmingham, Hong Luo, who is known as the strongest connoisseur in Night Light Harbor, famous musicians in Softwind City, and the last member of the Empire Music Ensemble...
And, standing at the last seat was a red-haired woman with a smile.
The moment Gulemo saw the red-haired woman.
The originally chaotic thoughts suddenly boiled over, and the fragmented memories were quickly restored, as if the logical chain that had been cut into countless segments was being forcibly glued together.
"Sister...it's my sister..."
Gulemo stretched out his hand, trying to grab the red-haired woman.
Because this is her sister. She was abducted by Uriel, persecuted by the church, and finally disappeared!
Gulemo wanted to pull his sister forward, but at this moment, another voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Warning, the dream state is about to turn into a waking state."
"Confirm that the transformation target is one of the witnesses."
"Ready for repair."
"..."
"Repair successful, replace with new witness."
"Dream of recovery."
Along with the voice in his mind, Gulemo's vision slowly began to blur. When he woke up again, the red-haired woman in the distance had turned into a silver-haired and capable old man.
That is... the chief conductor of the Imperial Music Orchestra, Mulloy.
Something was wrong, Gulemo felt something was wrong. It was obviously a woman just now, and she was familiar with it... Hey, who was it?
When Gulemo was halfway through his thoughts, he suddenly forgot who the person in his mind was just now.
As for the feeling of something wrong in my heart, it slowly disappeared as I forgot about it.
"Please choose a witness for the duel."
This voice sounded in his mind again, and Gulemo seemed to understand a little bit. He seemed to want to select one of the five people in front of him as a witness to the duel.
In the Star Climbing Challenge, the duel between the two parties does require a witness.
But, why should I choose the witnesses?
Am I a party to the duel? But am I not already the Star of Green representing the harp?
Hey, could it be that someone is challenging me?
Gulemo seemed to understand something. As a Star of Green at Eden College in Birmingham, others must take the star-climbing challenge if they want to become a new generation of Star of Green.
And he himself became the star being climbed.
But who will challenge themselves?
Although Gulemo has not been back to the academy for more than a month, he knows the students in the academy well. No harp student is qualified to challenge himself?
Gulemo was very confused, but because his thoughts were completely fragmented at this time, he quickly gave up thinking.
"Let's challenge it." Gulemo looked at the five witnesses in front of him, "Then I will choose... Mulloy."
Mulloy is the chief conductor of the Imperial Music Ensemble.
As a witness, his vision is sufficient. Even if it is an indistinguishable challenge, Mulloy can appreciate the high and low from different angles.
Therefore, choosing Mulloy was definitely the right choice. But Gulemo still remembered that Mulloy was not in the imperial capital?
When did he come to Dawn City?
Gulemo shook his head. His chaotic thoughts did not allow him to think too much. He just chose Mulloy according to his inner thoughts.
The moment he made his choice, Mulloy, who was in the backlight, slowly walked out of the light and shadow and came to Gulemo.
"In this star climbing challenge, I will be a witness to witness the duel between the two."
Mulloy gently bent down to caress his chest and bowed.
When he stood up again, the surrounding darkness turned into countless horizontal lines, began to retreat crazily, and finally disappeared.
Gulemo and Mulloy looked around, and they had arrived in front of a dilapidated courtyard.
Mulloy: "Uriel hasn't been having a good time lately, but he has found a good prospect."
Gulemo also heard Mulloy's voice, but his thoughts at this time did not allow him to think too much: "Uriel? This is Uriel's courtyard?"
"Should I fight Uriel?"
Mulloy turned his head and showed a very formal smile: "No, your duel has already arrived."
Gulemo raised his head and saw not far away, a man holding a green harp, leaning under the big tree on the side of the yard. When Gulemo looked at him, the man also turned his head and looked over.
"he is……"
Mulloy smiled and said: "He is Luigi, the challenger of this star climbing challenge."
…
Outside the copy of Uriel.
Angel was chatting casually with Laplace, and the content of the conversation was naturally related to the "Magic Pattern Experiment".
Angel explained the results of the experiments he and Kesha had done. He also made some guesses about the "soul-carrying medium" magic pattern.
Although Laplace didn't understand magic patterns, she was able to give Angel some suggestions from her own perspective. This made their communication not dry.
However, just halfway through the topic, Angel suddenly stopped.
Under Laplace's doubtful gaze, Angel whispered: "Gulemo is here."
Immediately afterwards, without Laplace's need to say anything, Angel took the initiative to control the illusion node and started a live broadcast.
The illusion quickly formed a holographic picture, restoring the scene that happened in Uriel's copy one to one.
Even if Laplace has not entered the dungeon, he still feels immersed in such a realistic illusion.
The live broadcast is in progress——
Luigi was still practicing his new song in the yard, but at this moment, noisy footsteps came from outside the door.
At the same time, a fairyland prompt popped up in front of Luigi's eyes.
"Special Dream "Uriel's Choice" Main Mission 5 - Challenge Letter, is about to begin."
"Attention, please play the role of challenger well. If you make a mistake in your role, the main mission will also fail."
"Attention, please follow the rules to challenge."
"Please complete the first step within five minutes - submit a challenge."
"Countdown: 04:59"
"Countdown: 04:58"
…
Angel also captured these fairyland reminders that Luigi saw with his power, and displayed them all in front of Laplace.
Not to mention Luigi's feedback on this time's Wonderland information, anyway, after reading it, Laplace's eyes were full of doubts: "This main mission, there is actually a role-playing?"
Moreover, if the performance goes wrong, everything will be lost?!
Is the punishment so severe?
Angel: "Maybe it's because the main mission is a little different this time..."
Angel didn't say what the specific difference was, and Laplace didn't ask. Anyway, you'll know as you continue reading.
Back in the dungeon, after seeing this prompt, Luigi immediately understood that Gulemo should have arrived.
Sure enough, when Luigi raised his head, he found two strangers standing outside the yard.
Luigi's first focus was not on the two strangers.
But...outside the yard?!
Previously, the Uriel dungeon only had the attic scene, but now it actually has an additional courtyard gate and a long street outside the courtyard.
Just looking out from here, the streets are very hazy and nothing can be seen.
I just vaguely saw that there seemed to be a huge building at the end of the fog, shining with holy light.
Is this a new scene specially opened in Main Mission 5?
Luigi didn't think much, stood up and walked towards the courtyard gate... He now had to complete the first step of the main task within five minutes: presenting a challenge.
Looking from a distance, there are two people at the entrance of the courtyard. One is a handsome middle-aged man wearing a black tuxedo; the other silver-haired old man is also wearing black, but not a formal suit, but a loose robe with a sense of design.
The uniform looks like a bachelor's uniform, but not so solemn.
This silver-haired old man, Luigi had seen his picture in the newspaper on the attic floor.
He is none other than the chief commander of the Imperial Music Ensemble, Mulloy.
As for the middle-aged man next to Mulloy, although Luigi has never seen it, he can already guess that he is most likely the target of this challenge, Gulemo.
As Luigi approached the door of the courtyard, he heard the conversation between the two people outside the door.
Gulemo did not keep his attention on the yard, but turned back and looked at the surrounding environment.
"It's very foggy today." Mulloy said with a smile.
Gulemo nodded: "It's very empty here, there are no buildings around..."
Mulloy: "You also know that after what happened to Uriel, he likes to live in isolation. It is normal that there is no one around here."
"Speaking of which, you are too."
Gulemo understood that Mulloy meant that he, like Uriel, stayed away from the crowd and lived alone in the Night Mountain.
Gulemo: "I am different from him."
Mulloy nodded: "It's different. At least you can see the Glory Church here in Uriel."
Mulloy was referring to the huge building emitting holy light in the mist.
"And your side..."
Mulloy did not continue, but Gulemo understood.
This was a metaphor for himself. Uriel still had the courage to face the enemy, but he chose to escape...
Gulemo: "I'm not afraid of seeing the Glorious Church, I just don't want to see it. If I can't see it, at least I won't be upset."
Mulloy smiled and said nothing.
Gulemo asked doubtfully: "But how do you know this? Haven't you never been to Auroville City?"
Mulloy took a deep look at Gulemo: "Of course I know it from your memory."
my memory?
Gulemo had confusion in his eyes.
He originally wanted to ask something, but for some reason, he suddenly forgot what he wanted to ask. He even forgot what he had just talked about with Mulloy.
The only thing I remember in my mind is... I was invited by Uriel to participate in the star climbing challenge, and I was the one being challenged.
By the way, what about the challenger?
Gulemo opened his misty eyes and looked up not far away.
The man holding the green harp had already walked to the door of the yard and opened the door.
I saw the visitor gently touching the harp, and the beautiful notes jumped out instantly, echoing in my ears.
With just this simple strumming, Gulemo could tell that the person who came was definitely a master of playing the harp. If placed at Eden College in Birmingham, he would definitely be at the professor level.
