"Is he really in the top three? Are you sure? "Luigi asked again.
Angor quickly answered, "I'm pretty sure."
Luigi let out a long sigh of relief.
However, Luigi's face was still pale, and his lips were still trembling.
What was going on?
Angor thought Luigi was worried that he didn't have enough seats. But that didn't seem to be the case.
Luigi let out a bitter smile. "I don't know what's going on. But I think it's the aftereffect of my passionate performance …"
Luigi also noticed it himself. His lips couldn't stop trembling, and his eyes were in a trance. Even his legs felt weak. Fortunately, he was sitting down. Otherwise, he would have collapsed to the ground by now.
This situation occurred after he finished his performance.
Maybe it was because he hadn't performed such a high-intensity performance in a long time, or because he didn't feel so excited. Luigi's body was affected after the "Dream Pursuit" climax.
However, he knew his own body best. Although Luigi felt a little uncomfortable, there wasn't much of a problem. He should be fine after resting for a few minutes.
Angor understood what was going on. Maybe this was another type of "Sage Time"?
Since Luigi was fine, Angor was relieved.
Time passed by slowly.
About five minutes later, Luigi's face slowly regained its color, and his lips stopped trembling. The aftereffect of his performance was finally gone.
It was at this moment that Uriel, who had been standing there like a wooden chicken, finally moved.
Uriel raised his head and looked at Luigi … No, even though he was facing Luigi, his eyes did not seem to be focused on Luigi. Instead, they seemed to be looking beyond him.
Luigi looked back in confusion. "There's only one door behind me. What's he looking at?"
While Luigi was still wondering, Uriel slowly walked to the door and opened it. It was dark outside.
Uriel walked into the night, slowly becoming one with the night in front of Luigi's eyes.
Finally, he disappeared.
Luigi's jaw dropped. "Huh???"
What the hell is going on? Where are you going? Where's my seat?
"He … I think he's in some sort of unknown state."
In other words, he had no idea where Uriel went. Perhaps it was the inner space of the Immortal Realm Authority? Or perhaps, it was an undetectable place outside the box?
Since he didn't have a thorough understanding of the Celestial Authority, he couldn't tell why an NPC would suddenly disappear.
However, that did not affect the dungeon's progress.
Uriel may have left, but before he left the tower, his body had begun to emit information about the Immortal Realm. If there were no surprises, the Immortal Realm should have appeared by now.
Sure enough, when Luigi was still looking at the empty night outside the door, a hint of the Immortal Land appeared in his mind.
[Special Dreamscape 'Uriel's Choice' Main Mission 3, challenge successful. "
[Evaluation: Third in the Imperial Music Troupe. (21 seats in the Empire Music Troupe) "
[Main Mission 3 has been completed. Main Mission 4 will be activated after the rewards are calculated. "
[Reward calculation: Based on the current progress of the main storyline, the following two rewards will be given. "
[Reward 1: One Wonderland Box (Fixed Reward). "
[Reward 2: A recommendation letter from the First in the Imperial Music Troupe (Fixed Reward). "Yes!"
"Third!"
"I did it!!"
Luigi already knew that he had a high chance of getting into the top three. Still, he couldn't help but feel excited when the Immortal Realm told him that he succeeded.
After all, this was the first time he had put in so much effort in so many years.
His efforts were rewarded.
This was probably the most romantic and wonderful thing he could think of.
How could he not be excited?
Of course, Luigi didn't forget to check his rewards.
The first reward was the Celestial Box. He was no stranger to this as he had seen it before. As far as he knew, there were three types of Wonderland Boxes: Wonderland Box, Dream Box, and Mirror Box.
Laplace already received a Wonderland Box when he cleared a dungeon, which gave him the Glory of the Fan Family.
This was a pretty good status reward.
The second reward was a recommendation letter from the First in the Imperial Music Troupe.
According to the description of Uriel's quest, the First in the Imperial Music Troupe was qualified to go to the Stage of Dreams. However, the First in the Imperial Music Troupe did not intend to go there. Instead, he planned to give the qualification to someone else.
To get the qualification, one had to get the "First in the Imperial Music Troupe" from Uriel.
Therefore, this reward was actually agreed upon from the very beginning.
Perhaps this was the reason why it was labeled as a "fixed reward".
Luigi could understand why the "First in the Imperial Music Troupe" was a fixed reward. But why was the "Wonderland Box" also a fixed reward?
Luigi was still wondering when another notification popped up. [Do you want to accept the reward? Yes/No. ]
Luigi chose "Yes" without hesitation.
In the next second, a silver, carved box appeared in front of Luigi's eyes.
The box had a gorgeous appearance. There were all kinds of musical instruments carved on it, from pianos to long pipes, organs to flutes … almost all common instruments were carved on the box's outer shell.
It was worth mentioning that the main instrument on the lid was … a harp.
Perhaps this was why Luigi chose to use a harp for the challenge this time.
"This box is different from Laplace's," said Angor. "So the shape of the boxes will change according to the type of dungeon." Angor's voice was heard.
In other words, Uriel's dungeon was related to music, so the box was shaped like a musical instrument.
Luigi mumbled, "I don't care about the shape of the box. I'm more interested in what's inside. Why is this a fixed reward?"
Luigi mumbled and opened the box in his hand.
As soon as the lid was removed, the box disappeared.
The box outside disappeared instantly, leaving only a ball of light in front of Luigi.
Luigi couldn't see anything from the light. However, he saw a lot of complicated information in the light. It was enough to form a torrent of information. Even he couldn't summarize all of it in a short time.
Because of this, he could not decipher the complicated information right away.
He had to wait for Luigi to absorb the information and give him an answer.
"It's not a physical reward. Don't tell me it's a status reward like Laplace's?"
Just as Luigi was guessing, Glimmer suddenly accelerated and rushed into Luigi's forehead.
The next second, the summary of the light ball appeared in Luigi's mind.
Since he couldn't see the reward, he could only wait in silence. While waiting, he noticed Luigi's expression changed from anger to a silly grin.
What was it? What made Luigi's expression change so drastically?
Angor was even more curious now.
About ten minutes later, Luigi finally woke up. Before Angor could ask, Luigi told Angor about the reward.
"Just like Laplace's, it's also a status reward. But it's a bit special."
Luigi described the specific reward information in a few words.
[Prospective member of the Imperial Music Troupe: You will become a member of the most sacred and noble music troupe in the empire. When you perform on the stage, even the nobles of the empire will take off their hats and salute you. ]
Luigi already guessed that it was a status reward, which meant he was bound to the Imperial Music Troupe.
So when he saw the reward, he wasn't too surprised.
It was an ID card for the Imperial Music Troupe. This was probably why the Wonderland Box's reward was labeled as "fixed reward".
If he successfully booked a seat, he would be able to join the Imperial Music Troupe. This was why it was called "fixed reward".
However, Luigi wasn't happy about the fact that he was supposed to be the third seat in the Wonderland Box!
Why was he given a "prospective member"?
"Prospective" meant that he wasn't an official member. It was probably a "substitute". In other words, he was not as good as an official member.
How could someone as proud as Luigi accept such a title?
This was why Luigi was so angry when he saw the reward.
Luigi didn't like the word "prospective", but he was happy about the other rewards.
Compared to Laplace's "Glory of the Fan Family", Luigi's status came with an additional ability.
[This status comes with a Wonderland skill: Passion of Dreams. ]
[Wonderland skill: Passion of Dreams.]
[Uriel's Choice from the Wonderland. This is an additional ability of the Imperial Music Troupe. ]
[Effect: Every time you perform a performance, you can accumulate a dream of music and burning emotions. When this dream chasing emotion accumulates to a certain extent, you can release 'Passion of Dreams.' Based on the current performance, you can increase your emotional appeal. After the skill's duration ends, you will enter a state of dispirited state for a while. ]
[The pursuit of dreams is never outdated. The burning of love never ends. ]
This Wonderland skill basically had no effect on combat professionals. It was a skill exclusive to performers.
Even if most people got this skill, they would probably find it useless.
However, for Luigi, this was a divine skill.
During the performance, it could increase the emotional appeal and make the audience more immersed in the performance. This was a wonderful ability for performers.
Moreover, this ability didn't forcibly pull you into the performance. It was a bonus based on the performer's own skills.
To put it bluntly, he was not forcefully interfering with her performance. Instead, he was adding flowers to a perfect performance.
This was very important to Luigi. He didn't want to be criticized by his audience after using Passion of Dreams. "It's all because of this skill, not because of your own ability."
In short, the skill that came with the identity of Dream Flame was an excellent divine skill in Luigi's eyes.
Moreover, he had a feeling that this skill might have originated from his own deduction.
When he played the final movement of Black Sheep Confession, he felt something similar to Passion of Dreams. Even the "exhaustion" after the performance was similar to the side effects described by the skill.
It felt like it was tailor-made for him.
Perhaps this "Passion of Dreams" was originally his own ability, and it was just that the Immortal Realm had materialized it.
If that was the case, this was his unique ability.
Even if someone else became a "member of the Imperial Music Troupe", they probably wouldn't receive this skill.
…
Angor now understood why Luigi was angry and laughing like an idiot.
He was angry because he was a "prospective" member.
And he was laughing because of Passion of Dreams.
Aside from "Passion of Dreams", Angor was also curious why Luigi was only a "quasi" member. He was supposed to be one of the top three. Even if he couldn't become a top member of the troupe, he could at least become a lower member.
So why was he only a "prospective member"?
Uriel had already left, and he had no idea. He had to put this question aside for now.
Luigi, who was still in the attic, turned his attention to the Wonderland's notification. [Reward 2: A recommendation letter from the champion of the Imperial Music Troupe (fixed reward). ]
Luigi prepared to claim the reward like before.
However, when he clicked "Accept", the Wonderland's notification showed him a line of words:
[Reward unavailable for now. You will receive it after completing Main Quest 4. ]
"?" Luigi was puzzled.
Isn't this the reward for Main Quest 3? Why do I need to complete Main Quest 4?
And Uriel is already gone. Can you tell me what Main Quest 4 is?
Just as Luigi was thinking about this, the Wonderland prompt popped up again.
[Special Dream "Uriel's Choice" Main Quest 4 — Wait: Wait for Uriel to return and talk to him. ]
[Please note that you only have one chance to complete this quest. ]
[Please note that Uriel will enter the "dream" state during Main Quest 4. ]
[Please note that every word you say may affect the subsequent development of the plot. ]
[Main Quest 4 will begin the next time Uriel enters the "dream" state. ]
