After Luigi finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.
After a long while, Uriel spoke. "Who … Who are you?"
Uriel was no longer blindfolded. Instead, he lifted his head and looked at Luigi with a puzzled expression.
This was the first time Luigi had looked at him since he entered the attic.
When Uriel and Luigi looked at each other, a familiar information flow appeared.
[Please note that every word you say may affect the subsequent development of the plot. ]
There was no doubt that the following answer would affect the outcome.
Luigi, who didn't care at first, sat up straight and thought about how to answer.
Say that he was the challenger of the dungeon? Or, fabricate an identity?
After thinking for a moment, Luigi said, "Look at this and you'll know."
Then, Luigi approached Uriel and took out a letter from his chest. It was a white envelope with a golden border. The seal was sealed with a seal of a clown in the style of a circus.
This was an item from the Wonderland and also a letter of recommendation.
[Clown's Letter of Recommendation]
"Your performance has mesmerized everyone present. As the most discerning host in the Sunshine Circus, I pity your talent and have decided to write a letter for you, recommending you to my mentor so that you can step onto the most dazzling stage. ]
It was this letter that led Luigi to Uriel's dungeon.
At first, Luigi thought it was a key to the Wonderland dungeon. But after hearing Uriel's question, Luigi thought of this letter.
In Wonderland, "identity" was a very important piece of information.
For example, the "Glory of the Fan Family" that Laplace received contained information about his identity. This made Laplace highly regarded by the talented people in the Wonderland dungeon.
Because of this, Luigi knew that he couldn't fool Uriel with a random identity.
So, he took out this letter.
Although this letter wasn't a proof of identity, it contained two pieces of information about his identity. First, he was a talented artist. Second, because of his talent, he was valued by the host of the Sunshine Circus.
Since the host of the Sunshine Circus was Uriel's student, the two of them were connected.
Uriel opened the letter and read it. After a while, he finished reading it with a thoughtful expression.
"So he really did become a clown …" Uriel muttered. "Is this your choice? Using a clown to heal wounds?"
Hearing Uriel's muttering, Luigi immediately pricked up his ears. Speaking of which, he was also very curious. What kind of gossip story was behind the circus host … Using the identity of a clown to heal scars? What kind of treatment was this? What had happened to make him make such a strange choice?
Uriel clearly didn't want to explain. After muttering a few words, he locked his gaze on Luigi.
Uriel still looked a bit dispirited, but his eyes were brighter than before.
"You … If you can receive his praise, then you must be an excellent artist. But even if you can, I don't think you have the right to step on the stage of your dreams.
Luigi asked, "Why not?"
Uriel raised two fingers. "Two reasons. First, there will only be one person on my stage, and only me."
In other words, Luigi's idea of them performing together on the stage of their dreams was not going to happen.
"Why only one person?"
Uriel said, "There's no reason. No matter what stage it is, I won't partner with anyone. There will only be one partner, and that person has already gone to the Shrine of Radiance. "
What? The Shrine of Radiance?
Uriel was about to ask what the Shrine of Radiance was. But before he could ask, he heard Angor whispered something into his ear.
"The Shrine of Radiance is just a name. You can think of it as — his partner is dead."
Angor had a long talk with the host of the Sunshine Circus and learned a lot about the wizarding world on the Western Continent, including the Church of Radiance.
The Church of Radiance was spread all over the Western Continent and was the religion of countless people. According to the canon of the Church of Radiance, those who died without sin would ascend to the Shrine of Radiance, which was a place filled with goodness and beauty. It was also the home of souls.
When Uriel mentioned that his partner went to the Shrine of Radiance, it meant that his partner was already dead.
Luigi began to understand Uriel's idea. For some artists, spiritual compatibility was very important. Only the collision of mountains and rivers could create a soul mate. They were each other's one and only, greater than all other emotions in the world. Now that his soul mate was dead, it was normal for him to choose to perform alone without a partner.
In fact, Luigi had already thought of a possibility. Perhaps the reason why Uriel believed that he was destined to leave the stage of his dreams was because his partner had passed away, and his performance was no longer perfect?
However, from Luigi's point of view, the death of his partner was not a big deal. At most, he could just summon his soul from the Cazider world … … If he did not have a soul, then he could use his partner's memories to create a body. Wouldn't that be easy to solve?
When the time came, he could take over Uriel's role as his partner and step onto the stage of his dreams.
Humans always cared about such trivial things.
Luigi didn't say it out loud because Uriel was already talking about the "second reason".
Luckily, Luigi didn't say anything. If he did, Uriel would probably kick him out.
"Second, you may be excellent, but that's not enough. If you want to perform on that stage, you need to be at least the best actor in the Tasman Empire, or even the top three in the entire Orderly Continent. Do you think you can do it? "
Luigi read about the Tasman Empire in the description of the Wonderland item. But what was the Orderly Continent?
Another name he never heard of. He learned his lesson this time and didn't ask. Instead, he waited for the viewers to "feed" him.
As expected, it didn't take long for Angor to send him the relevant information.
The Orderly Continent was the core continent of the wizarding world on the Western Continent. It was similar to the Fey Continent in the south.
The Great Si Man Empire was a country in the Western Continent's Sorcerer World. The fact that it could be called an empire meant that it was a huge country. In the world of the mortals of the Western Peninsula, the Great Man Empire was a colossus. In the eyes of the Extraordinaires, the Great Man Empire was not to be underestimated. This was because there was a Wizard City here — Victoria Warm Wind City. Victoria Warmwind City was a supernatural city similar to Floating Mech City. It was one of the most powerful cities on the Western Continent.
According to the records of the Port Chronicles, legendary wizards would occasionally descend upon Victoria Warm Wind City. From this, one could see the background of the city.
According to Uriel, if Luigi wanted to perform on that stage, he needed to become at least the best performer in the Tasman Empire, or at least the best in the entire Orderly Continent.
It was … very difficult for Angor.
Before this, when Jon gave Luigi homework, he would review Luigi's work every day.
Jon thought highly of Luigi's performance. However, if they were to classify Luigi's art level, Luigi could barely reach the level of a master. There were only a dozen masters in the entire Goldspink Empire, let alone the entire southern region.
When Angor was still a mortal, he once followed a "star". The star was Master Megev, a great musician from Waterford. Master Megev also knew how to use a harp. Angor believed that Master Megev and Luigi were at the same level when it came to harp.
However, Master Megev's specialty was not harp, but piano.
This was only a small part of the southern region, and there were already so many masters. One could tell how many geniuses and masters there were in the entire southern region.
The Western Continent's World of Adepts, which was as famous as the Southern Region, was even more prosperous than the Southern Region in this regard? Angor did not believe it.
As far as Angor was concerned, Luigi still had a long way to go before he could reach the top of the Western Continent.
As for Luigi himself, he knew his own limits. He was confident in his performance, but he still felt a little unconfident about standing out from millions of other people and becoming one of the best performers.
Still, Luigi would not back down so easily when faced with Uriel's question.
"Why not?" Luigi said, "I'm confident in my performance."
Uriel looked at Luigi from head to toe and finally fixed his eyes on the harp Luigi was holding. "Since you're so confident about your performance, then perform for me. If your performance can reach the average standard of the Imperial Music Troupe, I can recommend you to Eden Academy in Birmingham for further studies. You might be able to reach the international stage in the future. "
"The international stage?" Luigi asked. "Is that the Dream Stage you mentioned?"
Uriel shook his head. "No. The international stage is held once every twenty years. The Dream Stage I mentioned … will be here soon."
Luigi frowned. "So you still don't think I'm qualified?"
Uriel did not answer. However, silence was also a form of answer.
Luigi thought for a while and took out a second item from his chest and placed it on the messy table. "I don't need you to recommend me to Birmingham's Eden Academy for further studies. I already have the qualifications to do so."
Uriel looked at the table and saw a badge on it. 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. The keys were supported by several musical instruments of different shapes.
This was … the emblem of Eden Academy.
Uriel picked up the badge from the table and turned it around. As expected, he saw a familiar mark on the back.
"So it's his badge." Uriel stroked the badge, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This badge was specially chosen by Luigi after he cleared the Sunshine Circus and gave up on the Guqin of Brilliance.
The owner of the badge was the host of the Sunshine Circus, the Clown. He had taken out this badge as a reward to balance out the three prizes. Only when one of the prizes had a lower weight could he take out the Glorious Zither, which had a higher weight.
The Clown thought highly of Luigi, which was why he had taken out the Glorious Zither as a prize.
However, in the end, Luigi had chosen the one the Clown had given him — the emblem of Eden Academy.
At the time, no one understood why Luigi had made such a choice. Later, Luigi had given a vague explanation: inspiration.
If it really was inspiration, could it be that it had come true now?
After a moment of silence, Uriel finally spoke. "He even gave you the badge. Is he pinning his hopes on you?"
Everyone: … Pinning his hopes on Luigi?
Uriel had clearly misunderstood something. This was a prize Clown gave to reduce the weight of Luigi. How did it become spiritual support?
Uriel considered. "Since he has placed his hopes and dreams on you, I'll give you a chance. If your performance can reach the level of one of the top three members of the Empire Music Troupe, I'll recommend you to the chief."
Last time, Uriel recommended Luigi to study at Eden Academy. Now, he was recommending him to the chief. What was the difference?
Uriel saw Luigi's confusion and explained in a soft voice, "The chief of the Empire Music Troupe did not intend to go to the Stage of Dreams, but he was given a chance to enter it. If you can earn his favor, you might be able to get a chance to enter the Stage of Dreams. "
In short, Uriel would not give Luigi the chance to enter the Stage of Dreams no matter what.
If Luigi wanted the chance, there was only one way. He had to get Uriel's letter of recommendation and go to the chief.
…
At the same time, outside the Fairyland dungeon.
Gleipnir spoke in a low voice, "So that envelope Uriel took out when he played the zither must be the letter of recommendation."
"Just like the envelope Clown gave us."
Clown's envelope had two choices. One was "Invitation to Sunlight Circus", and the other was "Clown's Letter of Recommendation". Only when one of the two choices was chosen would the contents of the envelope be displayed.
When Angor looked at the envelope in Uriel's hand, he received the following response: [Generating reward information …]
Probably, the letter of recommendation would be generated based on Luigi's final choice.
If Luigi did not take out his badge, the letter would probably be "Recommendation to Eden Academy of Birmingham". The badge changed Uriel's mind and generated a "Letter of Recommendation to the chief of the Empire Music Troupe".
Although Luigi had already seen the letter of recommendation from the Imperial Music Troupe's lead singer, whether or not he would receive it would depend on his performance in front of Uriel.
