Unbreakable Heart Mirror, buffer space.
After leaving Jon's place, Angor logged out of the game.
Angor stretched his body and glanced at Laplace, who was still sitting on the sofa. Her entire body was wrapped in a soft sofa, and her eyes were tightly closed. It was obvious that she had yet to leave the dream wilderness.
Angor saw Laplace using his Omniscient View before logging off. Laplace was still fishing on the fishing boat with a serious look on her face. Unfortunately, there was nothing in the basket beside her.
What was worth mentioning was that there was a group of golden flying fish beside the fishing boat. They seemed to have not noticed Laplace at all as they flew past her without any scruples.
Laplace could at least catch one if she reached out her hand. But she didn't do that. Instead, she focused all of her attention on the fishing rod.
It seemed she could only truly catch a fish from the rod.
Angor didn't know what Laplace was thinking, but this was the first time he saw her so focused. He planned to ask if she wanted to go offline with him, but he decided against it.
He heard stories about anglers who loved to play and failed to catch anything, and they would come up with a lot of excuses. If he interrupted her now, Laplace might think that he was the reason why she couldn't catch anything.
Although Laplace might not have reached such a level yet, Angor decided not to bother her and logged out.
While doing so, Angor noticed something interesting.
Laplace's consciousness was still fishing in the dream wasteland, but she wasn't completely defenseless because of the buffer space.
Her long silver hair slowly moved around her body like tiny silver snakes protecting her body. Angor could sense the threat from the fluttering hair even without touching it.
He didn't try to approach Laplace.
Whether Laplace was prepared or not, it wasn't proper to approach her when she was asleep.
Angor carefully avoided the hair and entered the mirror tunnel. His destination was … the heart space.
…
While Angor and Laplace went to the dream wasteland, Luigi was asked to stay in the heart space to control the limbs and the object collector.
However, Angor noticed that Luigi wasn't doing anything to the object at all. Instead, he was leaning against the heart wall and plucking the strings of an instrument.
He didn't even notice Angor's presence when Angor arrived.
Judging from Luigi's dispirited tone, Angor knew that Luigi was still thinking about "Uriel's Choice".
When Angor arrived in front of Luigi, Luigi tried to pretend that he was controlling his limbs.
"Laplace only asked you to control the power module in the heart space to distract you. But it didn't seem to work. "Angor teased him.
Luigi knew he couldn't hide it from Angor, so he gave up on controlling his limbs and slumped against the wall of his heart. "I can't contact my avatar. Laplace can enter the dream wasteland?"
Angor raised an eyebrow. "Oh, I missed it. I didn't hear your opening lines."
Luigi scratched his temples and looked depressed. "I'm really … not in the mood."
Angor pondered for a moment and reached out a hand.
Under Luigi's confused gaze, a thin booklet made of nightmare energy slowly appeared on Angor's palm.
"Take a look at this. Will it make you feel better?"
Luigi hesitated for a moment before accepting the booklet.
The cover of the booklet was simple. There was only a line of cursive words written in the common language of the wizarding world. Most of Luigi's memories came from humans, so he wasn't unfamiliar with the common language.
"Piano Psychology? Who wrote this book? " Luigi looked at the title of the book suspiciously. He felt that the title of this book was a little weird. Was there really such a thing as piano psychology in this world?
"My professor wrote it, I guess."
Angor paused a little and continued, "I told my professor about your situation, and he wrote a strategy book based on the difficulties you're facing now. Here it is. "
As for the name, I came up with it. "
Luigi asked suspiciously, "Was it really written by your mentor? Already? "
"You'll know when you read it. It's not a complicated theory. Just some strategies."
Luigi hesitated for a moment and opened the book.
After reading two pages, Luigi's expression changed from doubt to contemplation, and then from contemplation to realization. He was completely immersed in the book.
Angor didn't bother him. Piano Psychology wasn't thick. Given Luigi's reading speed, it wouldn't take long for him to finish it.
As expected, Luigi only spent a quarter of an hour to finish reading the entire booklet.
"What's next? What's next?! "Luigi was completely immersed when he reached the last page.
The book wasn't too complicated. It wasn't exactly "piano psychology". It was more like a strategy book, or rather, a strategy book.
It was based on Luigi's current predicament.
It even mentioned how to use the harp to deal with Uriel's music in a certain key. How to deal with it? When the music changes, what are the ways to deal with it?
Of course, this was just a simple overview. If one were to really read the book, they would find that it recorded all kinds of mind maps under different strategies. Under each mind map, there were more sub-columns and corresponding countermeasures.
It looked simple, but it was actually very complicated.
To learn it thoroughly, one would need to have a high artistic attainment. At least, Luigi couldn't do it.
It was like a game of chess, where one could guide the newcomer to the right path.
And Luigi was currently being "guided" by Jon.
However, there were only a few strategies for this game. It only took Luigi 15 minutes to finish reading. Of course, this wasn't enough.
Luigi longed for more "strategies".
As soon as he finished reading, Luigi gave Angor an expectant look.
Angor shrugged. "That's all."
"That's all?" Luigi was surprised.
Angor nodded.
Luigi frowned. "That's not enough. Uriel's piano piece is different every time. There are only a few situations in the book, so it might not be useful. "
After saying that, Luigi seemed to have thought of something as he muttered to himself, "Could it be that your mentor is making a guess?"
It was just like the question before an exam, to see if they could bet on Uriel's performance.
"I can understand if that's the case. He wants me to try again and again so that I'll run into something like this at least once?" Luigi muttered.
Angor couldn't help but chuckle. "No, you're wrong."
"Huh?" Luigi looked at Angor in bewilderment.
"Rather than predicting the questions, it's more like 'Question Flood Strategy'."
Luigi was taken aback. "A sea of questions? What do you mean? "
Angor didn't explain. He tapped the air and created an illusion node.
In an instant, the environment around him changed. Luigi found himself standing in the front row of a large theater. There was no one around him except for a single beam of light shining on a piano from the stage.
Then, he heard footsteps as an old man walked onto the stage.
The man looked around and saw Luigi. He nodded and sat down in front of the piano.
As the light flickered, music flowed out from the man's fingertips.
This was a song Luigi had never heard before, but the emotions contained within it were ever-changing and complex. In a trance, Luigi felt as though he was back in the Uriel's Choice instance, sitting in the attic, listening to Uriel's surging performance from above.
Just from this deja vu, Luigi was certain that this man's strength was on the same level as Uriel's! He might even be better than Uriel.
Even so, Luigi still couldn't understand what the illusion was trying to express.
While Luigi was deep in thought, the zither music ended a few minutes later, and the curtains on the stage were slowly closed.
Luigi vaguely saw that the man seemed to be saying something, but before he could decipher it, the illusion ended.
After being immersed in the aftertaste for a while, Luigi asked, "Is this your mentor?"
Angor nodded. "Yes. His name is Jon. He's … a human."
Luigi didn't notice the strange tone in Angor's voice. He was still immersed in the music. "Your teacher's piano skills are like the ceiling. He's very, very good."
Angor chuckled. "That's all you can say? Didn't you hear what my teacher said at the end? "
Luigi: "What?"
Angor shook his head and released another illusion node. Jon's image appeared again. At this moment, Chown was just about to finish his performance. He stood up and said slowly to Luigi, "Don't worry.
"This is your … homework for today."
"Homework?!" Luigi didn't understand what Jon was talking about.
"Yes. This is the homework my teacher left for you. You'll have new homework tomorrow, so make sure you finish it as soon as possible."
Luigi stuttered, "Can … can you make it clearer?"
Angor shrugged. "Isn't it clear enough? The book 'Piano Psychology' is your textbook, and the piece your instructor left for you is your homework. "
What you need to do is to play your harp in response to the homework. "
To put it bluntly, Jon was going to pretend to be Uriel and play a song that looked like Uriel. Luigi, on the other hand, was still a "player" who had to figure out how to solve the "problem" in Jon's song.
It sounded similar to Luigi going into a dungeon, but it was different in nature.
If Luigi went to challenge a dungeon, he wouldn't know where he failed, and he wouldn't be able to find a conclusion. But if the person he challenged was Jon, then if he was wrong, Jon would be able to guide him where he went wrong.
Although the methods were similar, the results would be completely different.
And this was how Jon taught Luigi.
Angor asked Luigi to solve the problems by assigning and handing in homework.
Jon knew that Luigi wouldn't be able to understand the essence of Piano Psychology in a short time, so he decided to use the "endless homework" tactic.
Luigi would eventually find a way to solve the problem.
After explaining Jon's plan, he pointed at the illusion node in front of them. "Activate this illusion node, and you'll see the previous music illusion again. Listen carefully when you're solving the problem. "
He then took out a blank photostone from his bracelet and handed it to Luigi. "This is for you. Use it to record the process when you're answering the questions. You can answer more questions, so your teacher can help you find your mistakes more easily. "
Luigi didn't know how to react. "So … I have to solve the problem now? And ask your teacher to help me? "
Angor nodded. "That's right. What? You think it's too much trouble? "
Luigi quickly shook his head. Of course he didn't think it was too much trouble. It couldn't be better. It was an honor to have a master pianist as good as Uriel to help him with his homework.
Angor mumbled, "The real trouble is … I have to pass your messages back and forth every day."
Luigi blushed a little. "Sorry about that."
"Don't worry about it. It won't take long. If you feel bad, you can visit my teacher in the dream wasteland more often when you have time. "
Luigi nodded quickly. Even if Angor didn't mention it, he would still visit Jon when he finished "Uriel's Choice".
"I'll be going now. Study the book carefully and try to solve the problem. I'll come back tomorrow around this time to get the Photostone. Also, I'll bring a copy of Piano Psychology with me every time I come here. Today's the first one. You can finish it when you finish it. Got it? "
With that, he waved his hand and left the heart space, leaving Luigi behind with a complicated look on his face while reading Piano Psychology in a daze.
…
Angor returned to his buffer space and logged into the dream wasteland again.
This time, he didn't go to Foundation City. Instead, he went to Iron Granny's location.
Luigi's problem was solved for now. Now, he just had to wait and see when the "sea of questions" tactic would work. Now, he needed to solve his own problem first.
Especially the Starry Splendor, where he was now.
He couldn't convince himself that it was just a coincidence that he ran into Buru after coming out of the Gate of Illusion.
But the Crimson Shelter wasn't triggered, and Buru's master didn't seem to know who he was.
He had no idea what was going on, so he had to ask Iron Granny if she knew anything.
