First, he wondered why Uriel's Main Quest 3 had a time limit of seven days.
It was normal for quests to have time limits. But this one was so special that Angor couldn't help but want to find out more about it.
The first quest didn't have a time limit, so why did the third quest have a time limit?
Based on what he knew, Angor could only speculate that the seven-day time limit was because of the "dream" state.
If the "dream" was the answer, then there were two possibilities.
The first was that the "dream" state could only drag people in for seven days. After that, the "Immortal Authority" would lose its effect.
Something like a rule.
Just like how the Dream Whelk could only drag inanimate objects into the dream wasteland, the "dream" state could only last for seven days.
The second possibility was that something unexpected would happen in the real world after seven days.
For example, Uriel suddenly lost his mind and died. He couldn't be dragged into the "dream" state, so it could only last for seven days.
Between the two possibilities, Angor preferred the first one.
It wasn't the first one that convinced him, but the second one was too far-fetched.
If it was the second one, wouldn't it mean that the "dream" could also predict or influence the future while projecting reality?
Anyway, the second one was unlikely, so Angor preferred the first one.
But was the truth really the same as his opinion? He couldn't be sure.
For now, he could only wait and see if he would run into other NPCs who could enter the "dream" state, and see if the "dream" state could only last for seven days.
That was the first thing that came to his mind.
His second question was also related to the "dream". According to the clues he got from Uriel's Dungeon and the Sunshine Circus, Angor was sure that Uriel was in the Western Continent's wizarding world.
If Uriel entered the "dream" state, did it mean that the "dream" state extended the "Immortal Authority" to the Western Continent, which was infinitely far away?
In other words, did the "Immortal Authority" have the property of the "heavens"?
Angor only knew that special worlds such as Cazider World, Dream Realm, Nightmare Realm, and Mirror Realm all had ways to connect to the heavens. So when he thought of this, he didn't quite believe it himself.
But if it did not possess the nature of the heavens, how could the Authority of the Immortal Realm break through space and time and affect Uriel, who was located far beyond this realm?
Could it be that the authority of the Celestial Realm borrowed the laws of the Dream Realm, Mirror Realm, or Nightmare Realm?
The Dream Crystal's birth was closely related to the Dream Realm, the White Sun Mirror Domain, and the Nightmare Realm. These three realms were all special realms with celestial properties. It was possible that the Dream Crystal had borrowed the dao of these three realms.
However, if it was really borrowing the path, did that mean that the authority of the Immortal Realm could affect the laws of a certain special world?
This was also quite impressive.
Unfortunately, it was only a guess, and there was no way to prove it yet. Even if he did, he would not be able to understand it. The knowledge involved must be extremely profound, and he could not understand it with his current knowledge.
…
Even though there were some doubts that were difficult to solve, in general, the results of this "dream" search were great.
He used to think of Wonderland as a "game", which was a feature of the Dream Crystal. But now, it seemed that Wonderland was much more complicated than he thought.
The state of "dreaming" represented the potential behind this Authority!
He just did not know when he would run into an NPC with this status again.
But that was something he would worry about in the future. For now, he had to focus on Uriel.
Before he learned about the "dream" status, he did not really care about Uriel. But now, things were different. He was very curious. Would something change after Luigi "dreamed" of Uriel?
Was the change simply related to the Dream Crystal? Or could it affect the real world?
Angor's heart was filled with endless anticipation.
He was looking forward to the moment when Luigi passed the test.
However, such anticipation could not overcome the fatigue of his body. After an entire night of searching and thinking, Angor felt extremely tired. He exhaled deeply and entered meditation.
He meditated until six in the evening, when his spirit was fully recovered. He took out the Unbreakable Heart Mirror and entered his heart space.
As soon as he entered, he saw Luigi leaning against an illusion sofa with his eyes closed.
Judging from Luigi's even breathing, Angor could tell that Luigi was resting, which meant he had entered the Dream Crystal.
Next to Luigi was a roll of yellowed parchment.
The parchment was half-open, and Angor could see a lot of special symbols inside. Angor had never seen such symbols before. But judging from the repetitive nature of the symbols and the way they were separated, he could guess that it was a piece of music.
"Did you get it from Ancient Tooth Fairy?"
Angor glanced at it but did not study it further. He was not good at reading music. At best, he could tell the good ones from the bad ones, but he was still not good enough to choose the best of the best.
Since Luigi was holding this piece of music, it should be an excellent one.
Angor wondered if Luigi could use it to clear the main quest.
He sat down and entered the Dream Crystal. Without a doubt, he chose to land outside Uriel's dungeon.
Using Box Ting's view, he found Luigi on the first floor of the attic.
However, Luigi was alone in the attic. He was sitting on a messy sofa while fiddling with his hair with a complicated expression on his face. One moment, he would smile, and the next, he would show a bitter expression.
He was also fiddling with his hair. A thin layer of hair had already accumulated on the table in front of him.
"If I came two hours later, I would see a bald Luigi."
Angor's voice echoed in the courtyard, which startled Luigi who was deep in thought. He quickly looked around, thinking that someone was coming.
It took him a while to realize what was going on. "Angor? You scared me. "
Angor put on a serious face. "I don't want to scare you. But I have to protect what little hair you have left."
Luigi was a little surprised. He looked down at his thumb and index finger, which were fiddling with a strand of hair.
Luigi tossed the strand of hair to the side, as well as the other strands on the table. "Baldness is a mortal's problem. It has nothing to do with me."
"Is that so?" Angor asked, "But you look no different from a mortal in the Dream Crystal."
Huh? That's right.
Luigi seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed. He nervously asked, "If this body of mine in the Dream Crystal becomes bald, can it grow back? I think so? "
"I don't know. How about you try pulling out more hair?"
According to Angor's experience in the Dream Wasteland, a new inhabitant's body was no different from when they were alive. Therefore, if the hair was pulled out and the hair follicles were not damaged, it could still grow back.
Of course, he couldn't tell Luigi about this.
Angor wasn't a playful person, but that didn't stop him from having fun.
Luigi quickly put his hands back on the harp. "Fine, fine. I'll pass."
He didn't want to go bald, not even in the Dream Crystal. This was the bottom line of a man!
Angor felt like laughing when he saw Luigi sitting there obediently. But for Luigi's pride, he didn't let his laughter out.
About half a minute later, Angor's voice came again. "Have you started today's challenge?"
Luigi plucked the strings of his harp and nodded weakly. "Yes. About 15 minutes before you came."
"So I missed a good challenge then?"
"Of course it was." Luigi paused. "But … I'm a little disappointed."
"Oh? You didn't succeed? "
Luigi sighed, nodded, and casually described the situation of the previous challenge.
The music he used this time was indeed a piece of music he found in Tooth Immortal's Ancient Ruins. Literally, it was called "Yi Yang", and it was one of the best music collections in Tooth Immortal's Ancient Ruins.
The music score came from a race called "Laughing Spirits", and it was a treasure among treasures. Its sound was world shocking, and its melody was marvelous. Its rhythm was even more impassioned, and its spirit soared.
Even Luigi, the performer, was excited by the music score.
Luigi could see that Uriel was also praising "Yi Yang" in his eyes.
Just when Luigi thought that he could see the light at the end of the tunnel, the sound of the zither faded away. Without a word, Uriel waved his sleeves and left, disappearing without a trace.
Next, Luigi received a familiar notification from the fairyland.
[Main Quest 3 of Special Dream "Uriel's Choice" failed. ]
[Rating: No.15 in Imperial Music Group. (Number 21 in Imperial Music Group.)]
[Main Quest 3 cannot be activated at this time. (Wait for the next notification from the fairyland.)]
[Number of challenges available: 5. ]
Luigi already had a feeling that he would fail when Uriel left. As expected, he failed in the end.
Luigi couldn't figure out why Uriel didn't move even a single piece of music from Tooth Immortal's Ancient Ruins.
The only good thing was that his previous rating was "No.20 in Imperial Music Group." This time, his rating had increased to "No.15".
This meant that Luigi worked hard in the right direction. If it was only about skills, he would still get No.20 this time. But since he already had a seat, it meant that after his skills reached a certain level, it was time to test the quality of his music score.
This was why Luigi had a complicated expression.
He was happy because he worked hard in the right direction. But he was worried because even "Yi Yang" only got No.15. What kind of music score could he use to win Uriel's heart?
"Laughing Spirits? I've never heard of them. Maybe it's because of the gap between civilizations? After all, humans are more appreciative of human works. "
Luigi said, "That's true, but music is universal …"
"Humans can hear things at a different frequency compared to other races."
"Of course I know that. Laughing Spirits are humanoids. They hear things just like humans." Luigi waved a hand.
Angor rubbed his chin. "Then maybe you didn't win Uriel's heart. After all, the same art is different in the eyes of different people. Humans will always have preferences. "
Luigi didn't refute this. He only mumbled, "What should I do now? If I can't even win "Yi Yang", where am I supposed to find a better score? "
"Are there no more music scores in Tooth Immortal's Ancient Ruins?"
Luigi was silent for a moment. "There are a lot of music scores in the Tooth Immortal Ruins. But if what you said is true, and Uriel's preference is a matter of preference, I don't know which one of the scores he likes."
This was indeed a problem.
If Luigi could perform as many songs as he wanted, he could always find a style that Uriel liked. But now, Luigi could only perform one song per day, and there were only five chances left. It would be very difficult to find a style that Uriel liked.
Angor thought for a while but still couldn't come up with a solution. In the end, he simply said, "Then I'll keep using rare music scores."
"Everyone has their own preferences. If you can't find something that Uriel likes, then you'll have to fight for it. Even if Uriel doesn't like this style, he can't deny the value of a rare score. As long as your score is good enough, you'll get a better one. "
Take "Yi Yang" as an example. Uriel might not like this style, but he still recognized the value of the music score and gave Luigi a No.15 rating.
If a thousand gold coins couldn't buy what one liked, it might be because one didn't have enough money. Ten thousand or even a hundred million gold coins might be enough.
Luigi considered and nodded. "I guess that's the only way."
"But if I'm still going to rely on rarity, I don't think there's anything better than" Yi Yang "in Tooth Immortal Ruins. Maybe I'll have to go to Tooth Fairy Paradise or the Gathering of Races."
"Oh right, any progress on your side?"
"I already sent someone to look for music scores yesterday. I don't know how they're doing now. Do you want me to ask them for you?"
Luigi quickly nodded. "Then we'll split up. I'll log off and check Tooth Fairy Paradise."
"Sure."
Luigi thanked Angor, but then he mumbled to himself, "Thank you for your kindness. But why do I feel like your attitude changed today? You're more interested in the result than I am."
Luigi had this feeling because before he logged on, he contacted Laplace and the others and asked them if they wanted to "watch" the match. However, Laplace, Glepnir, and the bunny girl all declined.
Even his other avatars didn't care about his challenge. He was surprised that Angor was so eager to show up.
Of course, Angor heard Luigi's words as well, but he didn't care at all.
He wouldn't care about it before yesterday. But now that he knew about the "dream", he couldn't just ignore it.
However, he didn't have to tell Luigi about it yet. He would talk to Laplace when he learned more about the dream. After all, telling Laplace was the same as telling Luigi.
