As for Laplace, the host didn't have much praise. He just casually said that she was "strong" and left it at that.
The next process was the same as the rabbit girl's.
A table rose from the center of the stage, and on the table was the reward for Laplace.
However, the rabbit girl could choose one of the two, but Laplace only had one reward: a silver fox costume.
The effect of the silver fox costume was similar to the rabbit costume. After wearing it, one could inherit some of the silver fox's abilities.
"The silver fox challenger can also customize the color. Not only a single color, but also a variety of colors." The host smiled.
Laplace shook her head. "No need."
She didn't care about these rewards and nodded.
The host didn't care. He turned to look at the third challenger, Luigi.
When facing Luigi, the host's enthusiasm came back again, and it was even more enthusiastic than the rabbit girl. The praise was endless. Everyone could even see the admiration in his eyes under his funny makeup.
Obviously, Luigi's performance had completely convinced the host.
However, the praise was just the process. The main point was the reward —
The lights on the canopy above their heads flickered. Under the sound of the bugle horn, countless ribbons erupted, and rainbow-like smoke filled the air. Amidst the smoke, three very gorgeous display cases rose up from the center of the stage.
There were also three plates in the display cabinets. On the plates were Luigi's rewards.
It was a completely different ceremony from the previous awards ceremony. It also showed the importance of Luigi to the "Sunshine Circus".
Such a lively announcement made everyone curious about what Luigi's reward would be.
Looking at the light under the spotlight, the three transparent display cabinets each held a different prize.
In the first display cabinet, there was a red-tailed frog costume.
Seeing this, everyone roughly understood the rules of the rewards. This costume was probably a fixed reward. Everyone had one.
As for whether it was worth choosing a costume as a reward, it depended on what animal you chose when you chose a code name.
From this, it could be seen that Wonderland also followed a principle of balance when giving rewards.
If one wanted to save effort on the track, they would definitely choose a light costume. Most of the animals corresponding to this costume were weak. When the final reward was calculated, choosing this costume would give one a certain amount of ability, but it wouldn't be too strong.
If one chose a heavy costume on the track, the corresponding animal would not necessarily be stronger than the corresponding animal in the light costume. However, from the distribution, most of the animals in the heavy costume were stronger than the light costume.
Just like the white bear that Gleipnir chose. It was very cumbersome to wear on the track, but the real white bear was not only agile and flexible, but also powerful. The value of the white bear costume was much more worth it compared to the red-tailed frog costume, the white rabbit costume, and the silver fox costume.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Value couldn't measure everything.
Just like the bunny girl, the bunny costume might not be better than the revolver, but she wanted to change into the bunny costume because … she liked it.
Money couldn't buy it.
So, it couldn't be the same.
The first one was the red-tailed frog costume. In terms of actual value, it was probably lower than the other two costumes. However, Luigi's score was higher, so he had a choice. He could choose one of the two costumes without the red-tailed frog costume.
The item on the second display cabinet was a badge.
The background of the badge was a set of rectangular keys, one deep and one shallow, which looked like the black and white keys of a piano. Behind the keys, there were several musical instruments of different shapes.
As a noble, he had seen many different types of badges before. None of the badges in the display cases looked like family badges.
Most families wouldn't choose musical instruments as their emblem. Even if they did, there would only be one kind of instrument that stuck out as the main body. There were many kinds of musical instruments on this badge. Compared to family badges, this one looked more like … a school badge.
"This is the emblem of Birmingham's Eden Academy," the announcer said, "That's the emblem of Birmingham Eden Academy."
"Birmingham's Eden Academy is the best music academy in Tasman Empire. With this emblem, you will receive the best treatment in all the music theaters you visit."
It was indeed a school emblem. And from what the host said, the emblem was probably something similar to "Glory of Fan Family", which was a proof of identity.
Angor didn't really care about the so-called proof of identity. He was more interested in the "Tasman Empire" the host mentioned.
He felt like he had seen this name somewhere before.
Angor tried to recall, but his mind still went blank. There was only one possibility for him to forget the name with his current memory. He probably saw the name by accident.
"Accident" was the most difficult thing to find in memories. As long as one's eyes were open, there would always be things that one didn't pay attention to. Maybe they came from the corner of one's eyes, from the blind spot of one's vision, or from a random glance, all of which were captured in one's memory box.
Trying to find such fragmented memories was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It all depended on luck.
Of course, if Angor was as strong as Sunders, it would be easier for him to find "accident". But he still needed some time to find it.
When Angor decided to give up, he heard Luigi mumbling in a low voice, "Tasman Empire … I think it's a country in the Western Continent …"
The Western Continent's wizarding world!
With this keyword, the "automatic search" system in Angor's mind started working again.
This time, Angor finally found "Tasman Empire" in his memory.
Earlier, he found Tower Mechanic's Lab No. 4, or Snooker's Base, in the depths of the Misty Waters. There, he collected a lot of magazines from other wizarding worlds.
One of them was called "Port Chronicles", which came from the Western Continent's wizarding world. It was a periodical published by a magazine company in Warm Breeze Harbor, Victoria. It was published once a year and told all kinds of stories about Warm Breeze City in Victoria.
Warm Breeze City was a wizarding city, but it wasn't a random place. It was located in the Tasman Empire.
Since the content of "Port Chronicles" was too boring and … distant, Angor only gave it a quick glance without paying too much attention to it. That was why he didn't think about the "Tasman Empire" for a long time.
Since something from the Tasman Empire appeared here, did it mean that Sunlight Circus came from the "Western Continent's wizarding world"? Was the host also from the Western Continent's wizarding world?
The host also heard Luigi's words and showed a puzzled look. "Western Continent's wizarding world? I've never heard of it before. But … I think I know something about the Western Continent. My music teacher told me that we're in the Western Continent. "
Angor was sure that the host was from the Western Continent's wizarding world. But he was only a mortal.
It was normal for mortals to not know about the wizarding world.
As for why his music teacher knew about the "Western Continent" … Either the teacher was a supernatural, or a noble who knew something.
"But that's not important. Let's get back to the prize. Red-tailed Frog, do you want me to tell you more about the emblem, or do you want us to go to the third display case? "
Luigi pondered for a moment and asked, "You said before that as long as you have this school badge, you will receive the best treatment when you go to any music theater … Why? Aren't they worried that someone might impersonate them? "
"Each emblem corresponds to one student. As long as the student doesn't expose you, you can become the owner of the emblem and enjoy all the privileges it brings. "
"How can I be sure that the owner of the emblem won't expose me?" Luigi asked.
To the others, Luigi's question sounded like he was trying to pick a fight. It was just an ID. After all, Laplace had inherited the "Glory of the Fan Family", so he naturally inherited the identity of a noble. The Wonderland had its own rules. Who would expose you in the Wonderland?
However, perhaps the host admired Luigi, so he didn't think Luigi was trying to pick a fight. He still answered Luigi's question seriously.
"Red-tailed Frog, if you choose the emblem, no one will suspect you with your strength. You're qualified to wear the emblem. Also … "The host paused and looked at Angor with a strange look." Also, the emblem is actually mine. It has my name on the back. Since I've shown it, I've recognized you as the owner of the emblem. "
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
They thought that the school emblem was a reward given to them by Dreaming in Wonderland. They didn't expect the host to give it to them. There must be a reason behind it.
Luigi nodded and did not ask any more questions.
The host calmed himself down and walked to the third display case.
The third display case contained a harp that shone with a faint radiance. The design of the harp was very ordinary, but it gave off a sense of elegance and nobility when placed there.
As far as Angor was concerned, the harp was definitely made for Luigi, and it was the best of the three.
As expected, the host introduced the information about the harp and directly revealed that this harp was from the circus leader's collection. He had specially taken it out for Luigi.
The harp was made by a light apostle from the Church of Brilliance's headquarters in the Tasman Empire.
Its name: Harp of Brilliance.
The Harp of Brilliance bathed in holy light and accompanied countless hymns. Any hymn or interjection played by the harp would reach deeper into people's hearts.
In other words, the harp had the power to influence people's hearts.
The host continued, "Now, the choice is yours. You may choose one of the three rewards. If you need my recommendation, feel free to tell me. "
Angor spoke in a gloomy tone, "Didn't you say I'll follow my heart? What? Now you're saying you can recommend something?"
"Because the Red-Tailed Frog is worthy of my recommendation."
Everyone remained silent.
As expected of someone with a high score. The difference in treatment couldn't be more obvious.
Luigi followed the host's words and asked, "What would you recommend?"
The host answered without hesitation, "The harp is my first choice, and the emblem is my second choice. Without a doubt, I recommend the Harp of Brilliance the most. It's the best combination to perform the song of the Red-Tailed Frog. The emblem is a little useful, but not much. As for the Red-Tailed Frog costume, I don't recommend it. "
After listening to the host's suggestion, Luigi nodded. "I understand. Then I choose …"
"The emblem of Birmingham's Eden Academy."
The host was about to take out his harp, but when he heard Luigi's choice, he was stunned.
He didn't know why Luigi chose the emblem, but he still followed Luigi's suggestion and took out the emblem.
The host was still trying to persuade Luigi, "Actually, the emblem is useless. I really think you should choose the Harp of Brilliance."
Luigi smiled brightly. "It's fine. I think it's a good idea to inherit the host's identity."
When the host heard this, he muttered softly, "Inherit my identity …"
After a moment of silence, the host sighed and handed the emblem to Luigi without saying anything else.
The others looked at Luigi. They didn't understand Luigi's choice either.
Luigi put on the emblem with a smile and spoke to the crowd in a soft voice, "Intuition, intuition."
Luigi himself preferred the harp. But his intuition told him that the emblem might bring him something interesting later on.
Back when he got a bouquet of flowers from the bunny girl and earned 24 points, he used his intuition as an excuse. So he might as well follow his intuition to the end.
He didn't know whether his intuition was right or not, but it didn't matter.
…
After Luigi's reward was given out, it was Glepnir's turn.
Glepnir's score was 15 points, which was about the same as Laplace's 13 points. Glepnir thought he only had one costume to choose from, but he didn't expect to be given the same treatment as the bunny girl.
So the rewards were divided into three levels. Those above 20 points could choose one of three, those below 15 points could choose one of two, and those below 15 points could choose one of two. Those below 15 points could only choose a costume.
Of course, no one knew if those who scored less than 10 points wouldn't even be able to choose a costume. They would see Angor's reward later. Angor's score was 9 points, which happened to be below 10 points.
Glepnir's reward was a white bear costume and a small black cat that looked around.
This was the first time a "living creature" reward was given.
According to the host, the black cat was the black tiger that Glepnir tamed on the track.
Glepnir had seen the tiger's ability before … and it didn't seem to work.
How strong could the tiger be if it could turn into a small black cat with a single whip?
In terms of value, there was no doubt that the White Bear Costume was more valuable. However, Glepnir didn't choose the white bear costume. Instead, he chose the small black cat.
It wasn't that Glepnir had developed feelings for the black cat.
According to Glepnir, he wanted to study the living creatures in the Dream Crystal. Or rather, he wanted to know the difference between the living creatures born in the Dream Crystal and those born in the Dream Crystal.
In other words, he was using the black cat as a research subject.
The black cat didn't know its fate yet. It meowed happily at Glepnir.
When the host put the black cat in Glepnir's hand, it even rubbed its head against Glepnir's hand affectionately. It had no idea how much trouble it would face in the future.
After Glepnir's selection, only Angor's reward was left.
The host looked at Angor as well.
