Hyperdimensional Warlock

"Uriel."

"Do you have any comments on "Hymn to the Galaxy" and "The Lady of the Camellias"?"

Since the start of the Star Climbing Duel, Uriel, as the owner of the venue, has been silently hiding, not making a sound or making any unnecessary movements.In their focused duel, Gulemo and Luigi had even ignored Uriel.

It was only then that Mulloy's questioning reminded them that there was a fourth person at the scene.

"Do you have to...evaluate?" Uriel's voice was a little slow, but Angel knew that this slowness was not hesitation, but a side effect of the "dream" state.

Having said that, Angel also felt that it was a bit magical. Both Uriel and Gulemo were in a "dream" state, but it seemed that Gulemo's thinking was smoother.

Is this because Gulemo is a duel player and needs more mental computing power?
Angel doesn't know yet, so he can only keep his doubts in his mind.

Returning to the dungeon, after hearing Uriel's answer, Mulloy smiled and said: "Whether to evaluate or not, of course depends on your own wishes. However, facing such a wonderful duel, you really have no idea at all. ?"

Uriel was silent for a moment: "I have an idea."

Mulloy: "Then tell me what you think."

After Uriel hesitated for a few seconds, he nodded: "Okay."

Although Uriel decided to comment, he did not speak immediately, but fell into a brief silence.He seemed to be sorting out his words.

On the other side, Luigi and Gulemo also looked at Uriel.

Luigi is very interested in Uriel's evaluation, because this is a copy of Uriel after all, and his opinion determines the subsequent tasks.

Gulemo, on the surface, appeared not to care about Uriel's evaluation, but in his heart he still wanted to hear what this "enemy" had to say.

After about half a minute, Uriel slowly spoke: "Luigi's performance is a performance that can entertain the audience to the fullest and hearty."

"Gulemo's performance leaves the audience with a lingering interest, especially in "The Lady of the Camellias," whose reverberations can linger in the ears for days."

One is hearty and hearty, and the other is still full of meaning.

Uriel's evaluation is obviously suspicious. From his words alone, it is difficult to determine who wins and who loses in his mind.

But this is normal. In art, it is difficult to distinguish between high and low.Especially the two duels are different in every dimension.

As a "spectator", Uriel did not need to decide the outcome.

Otherwise, what are witnesses used for?

Mulloy didn't care about Uriel's behavior of carrying water, and just nodded lightly: "Not a bad review."

After saying this, Mulloy turned to look at Gulemo and Luigi: "I believe you are all curious about my evaluation now."

"My evaluation may disappoint you a little." Mulloy said as he opened the last note on his right hand.

As Gulemo and Luigi watched, Mulloy pointed the note at them.

"My rating is 4.8 for both of you."

Tie?

Gulemo and Luigi looked at each other without saying a word, but looked at Mulloy again, waiting for his words.

Mulloy didn't explain much, just handed the note to Gulemo: "You two can see for yourselves, I am not grading randomly."

Two minutes later, Gulemo finished reading Mulloy's comments and handed the note to Luigi with a calm expression.

After Luigi read it, he showed a strange expression.

There weren't many written comments on the note, just a three-dimensional table.

Skill points (2.5 points), interpretation points (1.5 points), and extra points (1 point).

Gulemo received full marks for technique and full marks for interpretation, with only 0.2 points deducted from the extra points.Mulloy's evaluation is: A wonderful performance needs some design that can make the audience smile, which can be a certain memory point or a brilliant ingenuity.In terms of design, Gulemo lacks some new ideas.

Luigi's extra points are full points, but 0.1 points are deducted from each of the skill points and interpretation points.

Mulloy's evaluation of Luigi is: a performance that is close to the peak in all aspects, but close does not mean perfect.The technique is a bit ingenious, the performance is a bit unfamiliar, but the additional design is quite innovative.

Although Mulloy gave both of them a score of 4.8, he was actually not just holding back. His evaluation was well-targeted.

Indeed, Gulemo's performance is wonderful, but it lacks some novelty in design.

Luigi, on the other hand, lacks skills and experience in large-scale performances, so these two points deductions are very reasonable.As for the extra points, this was recognized by both Gulemo and everyone present.So getting full marks is normal.

Two different evaluations, but the same score appears. This is obviously just a coincidence.

However, if we really want to dig deeper, Luigi still feels that he has lost.

Because a few days ago, he had thought about doing some "gimmicks" during the performance to enhance the favorability of the witnesses and enhance the evaluation of his performance.

To this end, he simulated many different scenes and thought of hundreds of different Easter egg designs.

This time he added an excerpt from "The Camellia Woman" to "Hymn to the Galaxy", which is actually one of these Easter eggs.

In other words, the performance is temporary, but the ideas are not.

So if the easter egg dedicated to this gimmick is eliminated, Luigi's extra points should be equal to Gulemo, and another 0.2 points will be deducted.

In other words, the real level is Luigi's 4.6 points and Gulemo's 4.8 points.

Gulemo won.

Of course, this is just Luigi's inner thought. In order to successfully complete the main mission, he will definitely not really say it out loud.

But after this duel, Luigi felt more motivated. He knew that he still had shortcomings, which can be seen from this game.In the future, if he wants to be on the "dream stage", he must make up for these shortcomings.

After Mulloy's rating, he already has a direction to work towards.

That is to improve his performance level and perform more large-scale performances... However, large-scale performances are rare in the Day Mirror Territory. Maybe he should go to the Southern Territory to perform?Or open a venue for large-scale performances in Yume no Crystal Plains?

While Luigi was silently making plans for his future, Mulloy said: "Since this duel is a draw, then this one does not exist. We will use the result of the first round of duel as the basis for this star climbing challenge. The basis for victory or defeat?”

Of course, Luigi would not refute and nodded.

Gulemo thought for a while and agreed with Mulloy's suggestion.

Although Gulemo had said before that he would lose in a tie.But a tie here refers to a win and a loss in two rounds.

The tie caused by the unanimous scores in the round of duel was not included in the boast he had made before.

After seeing that both of them agreed, Mulloy raised his left hand.

Opening his hand, there was only a piece of paper inside.There was no mutual evaluation in the first round, and the final result was dominated by Mulloy's evaluation.

Mulloy: "Although there is no mutual evaluation in the first round of the showdown, you can also talk about your views on your opponent's first round performance now."

Mulloy looked at Gulemo first.

Gulemo simply shrugged: "I don't have any opinion, it's just your assessment."

For Gulemo, "The Grand Garden" still left him a little confused, after all, it was made with the help of external forces.But I have to admit that the external force of "The Grand Garden" made this performance almost perfect.

Some performances rely on external forces, which only make people laugh and are not coordinated at all.

But some performances rely on external forces, like fire borrowing the wind, which can start a prairie fire in an instant.

Luigi's performance in "The Garden", even though it borrowed from outside forces, was very good.External forces that can make a performance more perfect should themselves be part of the performance.

Therefore, although Gulemo was upset, he did not feel that Luigi was cheating.

Luigi: "I don't have any ideas, but if I were a witness, I would give the technical score of "Poetry of War" more than a perfect score of 2.5. This is a technology that I cannot achieve at this stage..."

If the technical score were not limited to 2.5 points, Luigi might have given "Poem of War" a high score of 3 or even 4 points.

In "Poetry of War", Gulemo uses the harp to simulate the intensive drum beats during war, which is simply a superb technique.

Luigi knew very well that even if he studied on his own, it would probably be difficult to get started in just a few or more years.

At this stage, he really cannot achieve such technology.

Facing Luigi's praise, Gulemo accepted it all, and even raised his chin slightly to express his inner pride.

If Mulloy asked Gulemo again at this time, he would definitely throw out the familiar arrogant words: "I deserve this."

He placed "Poetry of War" in the first round just to show off his skills.

At the same time, it also puts pressure on Luigi. If he is shocked by Gulemo's dazzling skills, he is likely to perform abnormally during the performance, resulting in a discourteous duel.

But Luigi was good, he withstood the pressure.

In this disposition alone he surpassed all the harpists at Birmingham's Eden College.

"Okay, since neither of you have any ideas, I will announce the result directly..." After Mulloy finished speaking, something suddenly occurred to him: "Wait, I forgot about Uriel, what about you. You Any ideas?"

Uriel shook his head: "The previous evaluation is my evaluation of the two rounds of duel."

In other words, Uriel still feels that Gulemo and Luigi are equally matched.

He couldn't decide who would win in the end, it would all depend on how Mulloy scored.

"It seems that I am the one who will be the bad guy." Mulloy picked up the note and opened it in front of everyone.

Mulloy did not read the words on the note himself, but directly reversed it and showed it to them.

"You can look at the ratings yourself."

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the crumpled note.

The content on the note was the same as before, and Mulloy's scoring criteria had not changed. Scores were still based on three dimensions.

The technical score of "Poetry of War" is 2.5 points, the interpretation score is 1.5 points, and the extra score is 0.8 points, with a total score of 4.8 points.

As before, where Gulemo falls short is in the extras.

Even Gulemo himself recognized this.

He was not well prepared this time. After all, he was going to have a star-climbing showdown at short notice. Not only did he have no Easter egg preparations, he didn't even have the psychological preparations.

In this case, his technical and interpretation scores are still full marks, which is enough to show that his background is very profound.

Gulemo lowered his gaze and continued to look at Mulloy's rating of Luigi.

The technical score of "Shengting Garden" is 2.4 points, the interpretation score is 1.5 points, the extra score is 1 point, and the total score is 4.9 points.

When he saw 4.9 points, Gulemo fell into a brief silence.

After a while, he sighed softly, with a look of relief on his expression.

On the other side, Luigi also saw that his rating exceeded Gulemo. Even though the difference was only 0.1 points, it also meant that he won this star climbing challenge!

Even if there are some tricks, a win is a win!
Main mission 5, he finally completed.

Just when Luigi was filled with joy, Mulloy's voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Gulemo, if you have any objection to my rating, you can choose to question it. I will follow the challenge process, suspend the victory or defeat determination, and enter the challenge and notarization stage."

Luigi suddenly came to his senses, yes, he hadn't really won yet, Gulemo could still question it!
At the beginning of the challenge, Mulloy said that either party could challenge the final result if it did not agree with it.Deprive the witnesses of their ratings, and finally leave it to more “audiences” to comment.

If Gulemo chooses to question at this time, then the outcome is really not certain.

When the time comes for the "audience" judgment stage, the two of them will be on the big stage together. With Gulemo's experience in large-scale stage performances, they will probably crush Luigi.

Thinking of this, Luigi's original joyful mood disappeared instantly, and he stared at Gulemo with burning eyes.

Not only Luigi, but also Uriel, Mulloy, and even Angel and others outside the dungeon were very curious about Gulemo's choice.

Will Gulemo choose to fulfill or choose to question?

Faced with everyone's gaze, Gulemo did not hesitate too much and said softly: "I have no intention of questioning it."

"I approve of his performance."

No matter how Luigi uses external forces, Gulemo will happily accept it as long as the performance can be reached to the extreme.

What's more, Luigi still tied with himself in the second round of performance without any help from outside forces. This is enough to show that Luigi's skills and ideas have reached the peak of the pyramid.

Since the other party has reached such a high level, it may not be a bad thing to help him.

Moreover, I have been carrying the "Star of Green" for many years, and seeing someone succeed this title is a kind of inheritance...

Gulemo looked at Luigi: "The title of Star of Green is yours from today on. As usual, I will write to Eden College in Birmingham to report this matter."

"I hope you can live up to the name of the stars."

As Gulemo finished speaking, Luigi also breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, new wonderland prompts also appeared in front of Luigi——
