Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 3551 The Witness

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 blood under the god's robe and felt the stinging sensation of the flames burning his body.

"Black Sheep Confession" also ended abruptly when the Cathedral of Heaven collapsed in flames.But the pictures 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...

"Ugh……"

Gulemo sighed and suddenly felt as if he had lost his strength. He leaned back on the chair and looked out the window dreamily.

It was as if I saw my sister smiling 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, 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 08:30." Gulemo murmured in a low voice: "It's time to rest..."

Gulemo slowly stood up 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 forward.

"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 for Eden College Birmingham?Why is there such a sound in my ears?Am I back at the academy?

"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 are you climbing for?The black and white star representing the piano?Or the elegant star representing the violin?Or is it 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 that rays of light suddenly lit up in front of his dark eyes.However, these lights are not shining, they just allow people to see the figures in front of them clearly.

Figure?Why is there a figure?And five figures appeared at once?
Gulemo felt like 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 didn't seem to have much emotion or even much thought at this time.It's as if you are drunk, your thoughts are in fragments, and you are 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 some 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 Nightlight Harbor, famous musicians in Soft Wind 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 the sister who was abducted by Uriel, persecuted by the church, and eventually 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 change to the waking state."

"Confirm that the transformation target is one of the witnesses."

"Get ready for repairs."

"..."

"Repair successful, replace with new witness."

"Dreaming about recovery."

Along with the voice in his head, 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's... the chief conductor of the Imperial Music Ensemble, 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 with forgetfulness.

"Please choose a witness for the duel."

This voice sounded in his mind again, and Gulemo seemed to understand a little.He seemed to want to select one of the five people in front of him as a witness to the duel.

In the Star Climb Challenge, a duel between two parties does require a witness.

But, why should I choose the witnesses?

Could it be that I am a party to the duel?But am I not already the star of green representing the harp?
Hey, could someone challenge 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 became the star being climbed.

But who would challenge themselves?
Although Gulemo has not been back to the college for more than a month, he knows the students in the college 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 the challenges are equally close, Mulloy can appreciate the highs and lows from different angles.

Therefore, choosing Mulloy is definitely the right choice.But Gulemo still remembered, wasn't Mulloy 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 of you." 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?"

"Am I going to 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 against 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 told the results of the experiments he and Kesha did.Moreover, some speculations were made about the "soul-carrying medium" magic pattern.

Although Laplace doesn't understand magic patterns, she can 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 words, 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 Dreamland "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 challenge according to the rules."

"Please complete the first step within 5 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 read on.

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 copy 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 5 minutes: presenting a challenge.

Looking from a distance, we can see the two people at the entrance of the courtyard. One is a middle-aged man who is wearing a black tuxedo and looks quite handsome; 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 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.

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, Uriel likes to live in isolation. It's normal for there to be no one around here."

"By the way, so are you."

Gulemo understood that Mulloy meant that he, like Uriel, lived alone in the Night Mountain away from the crowd.

Gulemo: "I'm 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 over there..."

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 it's out of sight, at least it's out of mind."

Mulloy smiled and said nothing.

Gulemo asked doubtfully: "But how do you know this? Haven't you never been to Dawn 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 else, 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 hazy eyes and looked up not far away.

The man holding the green harp had already reached the door of the yard and opened the door.

The visitor gently touched the harp, and the beautiful notes jumped out instantly, echoing in the ears.

With just this simple strum, Gulemo could tell that the person coming was definitely a master of playing the harp.If it were placed at Eden College in Birmingham, it would definitely be at the professorial level.

Is he the challenger?
