Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3377 I am who I am
Accompanied by 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 start of the main mission means that every question Uriel asks and every answer Luigi gives will become variables, affecting the outcome of the dungeon.

Therefore, even if Uriel just asked "Who are you", Luigi did not answer immediately, but prepared to silently calculate in his heart, and then answer after considering each word.

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: "He not only gave you a letter of recommendation, but also gave you a badge. According to the rules of Eden College in Birmingham, he gave up his identity, and you are his successor. "

Hearing this, Luigi also recalled it.The "he" in Uriel's mouth refers to the clown in the copy of the Sunshine Circus.

Back then, Luigi got a letter of recommendation from the clown in the Sunshine Circus dungeon, and only then did he have the opportunity to come to the Uriel dungeon.

When the circus dungeon was settled, Luigi ruled out all kinds of powerful rewards and chose the "Badge of Birmingham Eden Academy" that the clown took out to make up the number, which made Ulliel take a look at him and gave him Opportunity to go to the "Dream Stage".

In a sense, the clown who did not appear is the biggest variable in Uriel's dungeon.

Without the Joker, there would be no "Dream Stage" option at all.

Uriel raised his head, and glanced at Luigi with slightly dejected eyes: "As his successor, do you plan to inherit his identity now?"

Accompanied by Uriel's question, a familiar fairyland reminder appeared in Luigi's mind.

"Please note that every word you say may affect the subsequent development of the plot."

Luigi immediately understood that this issue was critical, and it was a choice that would affect the outcome of the dungeon.

Based on the information we have so far, it is actually not easy to analyze how to choose this problem.

However, Luigi had experienced the main task 2 before, and it was also a dialogue at that time, which would also cause variables in the dialogue.So Luigi knew that when Uriel asked, he didn't need to give an answer immediately, he could also insinuate some other information from Uriel's mouth, and then give an answer after combining these information.

Thinking of this, Luigi directly asked: "Is there any difference between inheriting his identity?"

Uriel didn't answer immediately, but lowered his head, as if he was thinking about how to answer.

And this thought lasts for a few minutes.

Luigi couldn't wait to go forward and shake Uriel's shoulders. When he woke up, Uriel said slowly: "He is not only my student, but also the most outstanding graduate of Eden College in Birmingham. He His reputation as a genius is one of the biggest golden signs in the industry."

"Even the chief of the Imperial Music Troupe thinks highly of him."

"So, if you inherit his identity, it also means that you inherit everything from him."

"You will become a genius like him, you will have his reputation, and when you go to the chief with a letter of recommendation, you will also 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, it's a road that's been paved? Right?"

Uriel: "You can say that. You think the paved road is not good?"

Luigi nodded without hesitation: "Of course it's not good. You 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, your goal is the stage of dreams. If you inherit his identity, you can also ascend to the stage of dreams, and it will be easier to ascend."

Luigi: "Even if it's easier to get on the dream stage, but...that's not me."

"Even if I want to be on the stage of my dreams, it can only be myself, 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 only me."

Uriel: "Is this your answer?"

Luigi didn't hesitate this time, nodded: "Yes."

Even if Luigi knew that his answer would affect the settlement of the dungeon, he was unwilling to change it.

He is grateful for the opportunity the clown gave him, but he doesn't want to be a clown.

On any stage, even if it is not the stage of his dreams, he must be on the stage by himself, not as someone else.

Uriel took a deep look at Luigi and nodded slightly: "I see, then..."

"who are you?"

Luigi was taken aback for a moment, this was the second time Uriel asked who he was today.

For the first time, Uriel talked to himself, defining him as someone recommended by the clown.In a sense, he is defined as a person who is inseparable from the clown.

But this time, Uriel's inquiry was a real inquiry.

Obviously, this is the change caused by Luigi's previous answer.

Since you are no one else, you can only be you, then who are you... then?
Luigi: "My name is Luigi, a harp performer."

For the first time, Luigi announced his name in front of Uriel.

"Luigi..." Uriel repeated the name, and after a long time, he said: "I have never heard of your name, this is a strange name to the Imperial Music Troupe and the entire Dasman Empire .”

"If you are looking for 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 be on the stage of his dreams, he must be approved by the chief.

And if Luigi went to meet the chief in his own capacity, it would definitely be much more difficult to get recognized than as a "clown".

"So, are you really sure that you want to meet the chief in such a strange capacity?"

Luigi nodded again: "Of course, identity is important, but what is more important is the technique of playing."

In other words, although Luigi cannot rely on his "background" to win, he can rely on his skill in playing the harp to get the approval of the chief.

Uriel: "Okay, since you insist, then I agree with your choice... Luigi."

This time, Uriel called out Luigi's name instead of defining Luigi's identity as a clown.

Luigi understands that the first variable has passed, but he still doesn't know what impact his choice will have.However, even if he knew, he would still choose this way.

As a performer, focus on the job at hand, not on the background of your identity.

Uriel: "The chief of the Imperial Music Troupe is named Charlotte. She is a person who values ​​birth very much. In her eyes, only when she is influenced by music from birth can she walk on this artistic road. farther."

"So, I don't know whether your choice is right or wrong."

"Your persistence may only cause trouble for yourself."

Luigi shrugged his shoulders: "Since Chief Charlotte values ​​birth so much, does anyone who wants to come to the entire Imperial Music Troupe have to come from an artistic family?"

Uriel: "Of course not, there are also civilian musicians who have stepped up step by step."

Luigi: "Since Chief Charlotte can accommodate civilian musicians in the music troupe, it should also accommodate me."

Uriel shook his head lightly: "Whether I can accommodate you is not up to me. However, talents who come up from common people must have rich performance experience and extremely advanced performance skills, otherwise they want to get the chief It's still hard to see."

Luigi shrugged, and said indifferently: "Isn't this about me?"

Uriel didn't respond to Luigi's boastful expression, but Angor, who was beside him outside, felt his hands a little itchy.

Uriel: "You do have superb interpretation skills. Previously, the music you played, even if it was placed in the Imperial Music Troupe, was also qualified to be the finale."

Uriel praised Luigi without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, Uriel continued: "Since you have passed my test, I will deliver the letter of recommendation to you as agreed."

"Besides, I like the music you played very much, so I will write you another letter as an introduction in addition to the recommendation letter."

Hearing this, Angel also understood that Uriel took out the letter paper before, so it was to write an extra letter of introduction for Luigi.

Uriel: "However, originally I thought you would choose to inherit his identity, so I wrote a letter of introduction to Chief Charlotte, and she has a higher probability of agreeing with you."

"But now, since you have decided to enter this vortex as Luigi. I think even with my letter of introduction, she might not value you."

In short, Luigi's previous choice changed Uriel's original plan.

"So, I can now give you another option."

"You can continue to choose to let me write a letter of introduction to Charlotte, or, replace this letter of introduction with Gullama's challenge letter. I will endorse it, but you challenge him in your own name."

After Uriel finished speaking, the familiar fairyland reminder came again. Obviously, this is also an important selection node.

Luigi: "Who is Gullama? I challenged him, and why?"

Hearing Luigi's question, Uriel didn't answer immediately, but lowered his head, as if he was thinking about how to answer.

This is the second time this has happened.

Every time as long as it is a rhetorical question at a key node, Uriel's thoughts are long. Perhaps, this is also the hidden mechanism of the main task 4. The time in the "dream" state is limited, so you can ask back, but every time you ask back, Uriel will fall into a search state for a period of time, and it is easy to waste the time of "dream", so you don't have many opportunities to ask back.

After another few minutes, Uriel's confused eyes slowly returned to normal: "Gulaimo is the tutor of Eden College in Birmingham, and he was also the finale of the last stage of the various countries."

The stage of the countries, Uriel mentioned it in the main mission 2 before.

It is an art feast held by the Dasman Empire and other nearby countries every 20 years.Gulaimo was the biggest winner on the stage of the previous countries.

"He is also good at the harp, so if you challenge him in the field of the harp and win, you will gain a great reputation not only in the Dasman Empire, but also in the surrounding countries."

"At that time, if you go to Chief Charlotte with a letter of recommendation, she will definitely approve of you."

In other words, Gullama was a springboard.A springboard to bypass the identity of the clown and get Charlotte's approval in Luigi's own identity.

Luigi pondered for a moment: "If it's the field of harps, I'd like to compete with him... But, is this man named Gullama really willing to accept my challenge?"

Uriel: "You don't have to worry about this. With my endorsement, he will definitely accept your challenge. Because..."

Uriel paused, and a flash of nostalgia flashed in his eyes: "Because he used to be my colleague, but our relationship was not good. He hated me extremely, and at the same time hated everyone related to me..."

As for the reason for the hatred, Uriel did not elaborate.

But if Luigi challenges Gulemo 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 Gullem..."

Although Luigi felt that relying on pedals to make Charlotte agree was a bit naive; but he also knew that different worlds and different civilizations have their inherent class stereotypes.

If Charlotte really values ​​"reputation", then Uriel's proposal is definitely the best solution.

Since it is the best solution, why not try it?
Luigi: "I don't know when I can challenge?"

"There is no rush, I will write him a letter of challenge, you just need to wait."

Luigi: "Didn't the challenge letter be handed over to me? Don't I need to come to challenge myself?"

Luigi thought the challenge letter was "an entry ticket for a new instance", but from what Uriel said, it seems 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."

While speaking, Uriel picked up the quill, and quickly erased the phrase "Dear Chief Charlotte, long time no see" on the letter paper, and changed it to "Gulemo, long time no see"...

The words quickly condense under the pen.

However, in Luigi's eyes, these words were chaos.

Even if Angel went to see it, he could only see the 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 piece you played before?"

Luigi replied subconsciously: ""The Confession of the Black Sheep"."

Uriel let out an "oh" and continued writing at his desk.

Soon, Uriel finished writing the entire "challenge book". The moment he finished writing, the challenge book turned into countless light spots and dispersed in mid-air.

Looking at the light spots in the air, Uriel was a little confused, as if he didn't understand why the challenge book just disappeared?
However, the confusion did not last long.

Because, Uriel's "dream" state slowly receded as the light spots dissipated.
