Now that Luigi had completed his Main Quest 5, he was ready for the next one.
In fact, Angor should have finished watching the show already.
In fact, Laplace had already bid farewell to the Dream Crystal and went offline to fish.
But he didn't leave.
He kept his eyes on Uriel's dungeon and watched as Luigi returned to his attic through the misty door.
Most importantly, he wanted to see Luigi's summoning reward.
Luigi told him that he didn't want to waste time on studying. This meant that he would summon Graimo as soon as he returned to the dungeon.
According to the Wonderland, he had a chance to summon Graimo in his "dream" state.
Angor wanted to see Graimo in his "dream" state.
There were too few NPCs in the current Dream Crystal. If he wanted to obtain more information about these NPCs, the Uriel Instance Dungeon was the best way to do so.
But …
This time, he was disappointed.
As expected, Luigi summoned Graimo as soon as he entered the dungeon.
However, the Graimo who came out of the door was not in his "dream" state. His eyes were clear and firm like an old scholar, which was completely different from the Graimo who challenged Angor by climbing stars.
However, Luigi didn't summon a "dream" NPC this time. Still, Graimo's harp skills were as good as Graimo's.
Luigi asked Graimo to play "Poem of War" again, and Graimo's performance was exactly the same as the one in his dream state.
After witnessing Gulimo's exquisite performance, Luigi felt at ease and began his lesson with him.
When Luigi returned to his "study" state, Angor removed his Omniscient View and sighed. "Looks like I won't run into another dream NPC today."
He shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore. He logged out of the game and continued studying runes.
…
The Western Continent's World of Adepts, Dasman Empire.
Nightfall, Dawn City.
Uriel's attic became lively as soon as he saw the strangely named "Sun and Moon" family.
"Lively" didn't only mean in terms of sound, but also in terms of the environment.
Mr. Sun, for example, loved bright places. When he noticed that the gas lamps in the attic were flickering, he volunteered to help Uriel fix some of the clogged gas pipes and brighten up the attic.
The self-proclaimed "Lady Full Moon" spoke elegantly and courteously. When Uriel spoke to her, she responded to every word he said. Moreover, her response was not perfunctory. She would think carefully and guide the topic at the right time to ease the atmosphere. Even though this was the first time they had met, Uriel and Madam Full Moon didn't feel unfamiliar with each other. Instead, they felt as if they were old friends.
Uriel even talked to Lady Full Moon about a lot of topics that crossed the line.
Of course, the "borderline" topics here didn't refer to those inappropriate topics for children, but to some topics that were unlikely to be talked about during a first meeting, such as values and outlook on life, or some private matters of daily experience.
It was normal for close friends to talk about these topics. However, this was the first time he had met Lady Manyue, so it was inappropriate for him to talk about such things.
But strangely, Uriel didn't feel uncomfortable in such a lively atmosphere, even though he knew that he shouldn't talk too deeply about such things.
Moreover, Lady Full Moon's response made Uriel feel very comfortable. In particular, Lady Full Moon had once received a piece of music in her dreams. This made Uriel even more excited. They felt like old friends at first sight.
Mr. Sun and Lady Full Moon made the attic bright and lively. Only their youngest daughter, Moonfang, was a little shy. She didn't speak much after entering the attic.
However, these were all trivial matters. What was more important to Uriel was that Lady Full Moon wanted to hum the piece of music she had received from her dreams!
It was Uriel's idea to let Lady Full Moon hum the music. He wanted to know if there was any connection between the music other people received in their dreams and the music he had received in his own.
Uriel was a little embarrassed when he made the request, but Lady Full Moon had readily agreed. This made Uriel's impression of Lady Full Moon even better.
If not for the fact that she was already married, Uriel would have wanted to take their relationship to the next level. Not as a couple, but as a close friend.
"By the way, I want to say something in advance. I have some experience in music appreciation, but I'm not that talented when it comes to music itself." Lady Full Moon looked a little shy. "If I don't hum well, don't laugh at me."
Uriel nodded without hesitation. "Everyone has their own talent. It's impossible to be a master of everything. I understand that. And don't worry, Lady Full Moon. You speak with a pleasant rhythm. With such a voice, your hum won't be too bad. "
Lady Full Moon smiled. "Then I'll embarrass myself in front of you, Mr. Uriel."
"But you'll have to wait for a moment. I need to recall the music I heard in my dream."
Uriel nodded. "Take as long as you want."
Lady Full Moon smiled and closed her eyes. It looked like she was recalling the music.
But in reality …
She was communicating with Tiredness through the Spirit Bond.
"Have you composed the music from your dream yet? I'm in a hurry! "
Tiredness: "… You're the one who put it there. Why are you making things difficult for a kitten …"
Lady Moon: "You're the only one who knows the art of deduction among the three of us."
Tiredness cursed in the Spirit Bond. In the end, he sighed helplessly. "Wait for me to gather the information and proceed with the deduction."
Yes, the music Lady Full Moon planned to hum was not something she got from her dream. It was something Tiredness composed on the spot.
Tiredness itself … No, this meow knew nothing about music. But as a mule in the Prophetic Temple for many years, its deduction skills were not bad.
At least, it was much better than Lady Moon and Mr. Sun, who had no prophecy talent at all.
Therefore, the burden of composing music on the spot fell on Tiredness.
Tiredness's composing method was simple. It combined the 32 Quartets of the Wind, Grand Garden, and Hymn of the Galaxy. It was a hodgepodge.
Then, it used deduction skills to combine these pieces of music and continuously changed the format.
Until the format was changed to the point that even its mother could not recognize it. Finally, it chose a few sections that were suitable for humming and gave them to Lady Moon.
The whole process was simple and crude. There was no musical literacy or technical content. Tiredness had not even learned the musical notes and scales. But in the end, it relied on deduction skills to forcefully push out a music sample that was similar to the real thing.
Of course, this music sample had no technical skills and did not have much beauty.
But its style was not much different from the 32 Quartets of the Wind, Grand Garden, and Hymn of the Galaxy. After all, no matter how many variations there were, the foundation was still these three pieces of music.
Tiredness hummed a few lines of this new music through the Spirit Bond.
After listening to it, Lady Moon judged that this piece of music was basically a flop based on her personal level of appreciation. However, she was not playing with a musical instrument. If she was just humming, the effect should be pretty good with a little trick.
As for what little trick? Of course, it was the Sound Magic Trick.
As a legendary wizard, Lady Moon might not have dabbled in the "spells" of other schools, but she still knew how to perform "tricks".
For example, the "Soothing Sound" and the "Sound of Spring Water" in the Sound School could make the words spoken and the songs sung by the user have more texture and feel like a spring breeze.
Lady Moon had indeed done this. With the "Soothing Sound" and "Sound of Spring Water", her humming could not be described as beautiful, but it sounded very sentimental.
Even Uriel could not help but nod. "As expected, Lady Moon was being too humble. Your voice is very suitable for humming."
Lady Moon, also known as Lady Full Moon, blushed. "No, no, no. I can hear myself humming. It's really not that good. Moreover, I feel that it's still very different from the music I heard in my 'dream'. "
Speaking of this, Madam Full Moon sighed. "There's nothing I can do. I don't know anything about music. I can only rely on a vague impression to hum."
Lady Full Moon used this self-deprecating method to get Uriel to ignore the "artistry" and "professionalism" of the music she hummed.
Uriel was right. He did not think about the technique of her humming. "Lady Moon, as an outsider, it's already very good that you can hum to this extent. Also, the section you're humming is a little similar to the music I've been hearing in my dreams recently … "
Uriel lowered his eyebrows and muttered to himself, "Could it be that Luigi wrote this music too?"
"But Luigi's musical skills must be very high. This music is obviously lacking in charm … but the style is quite similar to Luigi's pastoral music."
As Uriel muttered to himself, the Lady of the Moon, Mr. Sun, and Mr. Weariness all heard him.
"Luigi? Is this the composer of the music we heard before?" Lady Moon exclaimed in the Spirit Bond.
Mr. Sun said, "Judging from his tone, it should be."
Lady Moon said, "If this Luigi is the composer, does that mean he's the source of the 'anomaly' that our teacher wants us to investigate?"
Mr. Sun said, "We can't be sure yet. Try to change the topic to this Luigi."
Lady Moon said, "Sure, leave it to me."
As soon as the Spirit Bond ended, Lady Full Moon asked curiously, "Who is this Luigi you're talking about?"
Uriel hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "Actually, I don't know who he is …"
Uriel paused as if he did not want to continue the conversation.
Lady Full Moon saw this and quickly asked, "Could this Luigi be the man who created the music in your dream?"
Her words were very ambiguous. She did not say whose dream she was performing the music in. It could be hers, or it could be Uriel's. It all depended on Uriel's thoughts.
As long as Uriel continued the conversation, no matter what he thought, Lady Full Moon was confident that she could continue the conversation.
Uriel said, "From what you're saying, the music you hummed just now was also obtained from a man?"
Madam Full Moon looked surprised. "Could it be that the music you obtained in your dream was also obtained from that man?"
Lady Full Moon knew it was a "man" because Uriel had mentioned "him" when he was talking about Luigi. In the common language of the continent, the third person "him" referred to a man.
Uriel did not notice this and thought that Lady Full Moon had also met a man in her dream.
"That's right," Uriel said. "The three pieces of music you heard on the street were all from that man. His name is … Luigi. "
"I don't know if the man you met was Luigi."
Lady Full Moon quickly said, "Do you remember what Luigi looked like? Describe it and I'll compare. "
Uriel did not doubt her and began to describe Luigi's appearance in a low voice.
He was young, elegant, and spoke with a very unique accent. Whenever he was in the mood, he would play the harp. In terms of temperament, he was more like a poet.
"As for the details, I don't remember them clearly. Although I had some self-awareness in my dream, I couldn't maintain a high level of concentration. I can't remember many details, only the general idea. "
Lady Full Moon said, "The man you're talking about, called Luigi, is similar to the one in my dream. He also has a unique accent. But just like you, I couldn't see him clearly in my dream. "
Lady Full Moon looked regretful as she said this.
After a pause, she continued, "I don't know if the man in my dream was Luigi or not. But as a woman, perhaps they were the same person. "
Uriel rubbed his chin. "A woman's intuition is always accurate."
Madam Full Moon smiled and raised her head proudly. "Of course, my intuition is rarely wrong."
"By the way, can you tell me more about this Luigi? Although I may not be able to meet him in my dream, if I do, I can at least ask him in person."
Lady Full Moon's every sentence was said at the right time, and there was nothing wrong with it.
At the very least, Uriel did not feel uncomfortable about having his secret probed.
On top of that, Uriel was very interested in Luigi and that dream to begin with. Now that he saw a "companion" who had similar experiences as him, his desire to confide in Luigi naturally increased.
"Of course, it's not a secret," Uriel said. "It's just a dream, but it's so clear, it's like it's real …"
