Chapter 3563 The Stage of the Heavens
"Main Mission 5 is about to end."
"The "Dream" state of Gulemo and Uriel will enter a countdown."
"Remaining time in the "dream" state: 3 minutes"
"Countdown: 02:59"
"Countdown: 02:58"
…
When he saw this fairyland prompt, Luigi didn't understand what was going on at first.
It's not the wonderland information that should jump out to indicate the completion of the main mission, but why is it the countdown to the "dream" state?
It wasn't until half a minute later that Luigi saw a new prompt that he understood what was going on.
"Note that you are free to ask questions before the "dream" state ends. Whether you answer or not depends on your question and the other person's thoughts."
"So... the power of the fairyland reminded me because I haven't made any move?"
Luigi felt like he had the truth.
But then again, since you planned for me to ask questions to the NPC in the "dream" state, you wrote it in the fairyland prompt from the beginning.
It's too unprofessional for me to guess by myself.
As a result, I wasted half a minute.
Although Luigi was complaining in his heart, his external reaction was not slow. The moment he saw the new wonderland prompt, he walked quickly to Gulemo and asked:
"Can I ask you a question?"
Gulemo was stunned for a moment and nodded: "You are the new 'Star of Green', so I will naturally know all your questions. Do you want to ask about the obligations and benefits of 'Star of Green'?"
Luigi shook his head without hesitation: "No, I just want to know one question now. Can you tell me, what exactly is the 'Dream Stage'?"
Luigi and Angel had chatted before.
At that time, Ingres took "The Lonely Godot" as an example and said that the "dream stage" was most likely not a real stage, but a spiritual symbol.
Although Luigi is very opposed to this false and empty behavior, he has to say that some Riddlers really love this "spiritual symbol" metaphor.
If the "Dream Stage" really didn't exist and was just a spiritual symbol, Luigi would feel that all the efforts he had put in before were in vain.
Just like a chef who pursues "the endless sea of ingredients" and sails on the sea for decades, he finally discovers that this place is actually a metaphor and does not exist. Then he would probably go crazy on the spot.
Of course, the Riddler will say sincerely: "The process of pursuing your dreams is a kind of experience that enriches yourself. Look, after decades of training, haven't you now become an unparalleled chef in the world?"
Maybe some people will eat this chicken soup for the soul.
But Luigi didn't like it.
He does not want the "dream stage" to be a false and empty spiritual symbol, he hopes that such a stage really exists. It allows him to get up there and unleash his passion and play what he loves in his heart.
Therefore, the first question he asked was about the "stage of dreams."
Gulemo was stunned for two seconds: "The stage of dreams? Do you mean the stage of the Royal Music Ensemble, or the stages of various countries..."
Luigi: "I don't know what the 'Dream Stage' is, that's what Uriel told me. He said that Chief Charlotte was qualified to go to that stage, but Chief Charlotte didn't seem to want to go... …”
Luigi quickly explained the information he had learned about the "Dream Stage".
When Gulemo heard this, he seemed to understand something, and he muttered: "You are talking about that stage..."
"That stage? Which stage?"
Gulemo shook his head: "I actually don't know what the specific stage is. Its existence was told to us by a great being."
"According to this great being, the scale of that stage far exceeds the stages of all countries. It is not just a competition among countries, but a competition among the heavens."
"Artists from countless worlds and boundless planes will gather on this stage to start a life-and-death competition in which failure or failure will lead to success."
Gulemo's description made Luigi feel a little relieved. According to him, the so-called "dream stage" is indeed not a spiritual symbol, but a real stage.
As long as he knew that such a stage existed, Luigi felt that his previous efforts were not in vain.
But then again: "Why is it a life and death competition? Who is the great being? Also, where is this stage in the heavens? What are its rules?"
Luigi's series of questions made Gulemo a little confused.
He already felt that his thinking was delayed, and now he was even more confused. Balls of yarn appeared in front of his eyes unconsciously... and he was dizzy.
Gulemo: "You ask them one by one."
Luigi also saw something unusual about Gulemo. As a veteran player of Uriel's copy, he knew very well that this was a side effect of the "dream" state.
The same was true for Uriel who he asked about the "dream" state before. After ten sentences, Uriel could only capture half of them, which made him extremely anxious.
Later, during the star climbing challenge, Luigi found that Gulemo's response was quite smooth and thought that the "dream" state had less impact on him. Now it seems that the influence of "dream" still exists, but Gulemo is slightly better than Uriel.
Thinking of this, Luigi could only hold back his temper and ask questions one by one.
"Why is it said that the 'stage of dreams' is a life and death competition?"
Guilemo thought for two seconds and said, "That great being once said that the stage of the heavens has its own operating rules. The winner wins everything, and the loser is just a skeleton."
In other words, the stage of the heavens will only allow the winner to survive, and the loser will have no choice but to die.
This is why he is called the "Life and Death Competition".
"It is precisely because of this rule that Chief Charlotte gave up participating in this stage of the heavens." Guilemo sighed lightly: "But I know that Chief Charlotte did not give up because of fear of death, but was persuaded."
"The Imperial Music Orchestra cannot do without her, and she cannot do without the Imperial Music Orchestra."
Luigi did not comment on Guilemo's sigh. He even felt that it was a bit of a waste in his heart: he thought Guilemo would extend a useful topic, but it turned out to be just some trivial matters. Talking about these things is simply a waste of time.
You know, Guilemo's "dream" state only has 1 minute left.
And Luigi still has three questions to ask.
If he continues to ask questions step by step, he will definitely not be able to finish them. He had to re-order the questions and ask the questions he thought were important first!
Thinking of this, Luigi quickly said: "The second question is, where is this 'dream stage'?"
Gulemo shook his head and frowned: "I don't know much about this. Anyway, it's not in the Dasman Empire, nor in the world we live in. It seems to be in another world..."
The dream stage is not in the Western Continent?
Luigi didn't feel too surprised. Since Gulemo called the "dream stage" the "heavenly stage", it must involve a large number of pan-planes.
Although the Western Continent is a powerful world, the threshold is also very high. Artists from other worlds may not be qualified to enter the Western Continent.
In particular, many artists are still ordinary people. When they go to a powerful world, they are likely to be affected by the will of the world and produce a state of rejection of "not adapting to the local environment".
Once this state occurs, ordinary people are almost certain to die.
Therefore, the best choice is definitely the kind of open world where ordinary people are less affected.
"The third question, who is the great being you are talking about?"
Gulaimo shook his head again: "You have to ask Chief Charlotte. It was the chief who contacted the great being. We don't know what his identity is. However, since Chief Charlotte called the other party a great being, it is likely that he is a superhuman..."
Although Gulaimo has never come into contact with superhumans in person, he has heard a lot of rumors about superhumans.
He even heard that the imperial family has superhumans and the church also has superhumans behind it.
So, he is not unfamiliar with "superhumans".
Luigi: "The fourth question, did Chief Charlotte tell you how to get to the 'dream stage'?"
Gulaimo: "No, but it is likely that great being..."
Gulaimo stopped talking halfway.
Luigi raised his head in confusion and found that Gulaimo's eyes suddenly changed. They were not as turbid and deep as before, but became calm.
This calmness was almost exactly the same as Muloy next to him.
As a person who has experienced this, Luigi is not unfamiliar with such eyes. He has witnessed the switch between Uriel's "dream" state and normal state countless times.
Obviously, Gulemo's "dream" state has expired and he has returned to normal state.
Fortunately, although Gulemo did not finish the last question, Luigi had guessed what he said later.
How do they go to the "Stage of All Heavens"? It is likely that the so-called great existence will take them there.
So, if he wants to go to the Stage of All Heavens, he must go to the West Land?
But...
Can what happened in the Fairyland copy really affect reality?
Luigi felt a little confused, but he didn't think much about it. Just continue to follow the main quest. If the main quest has not ended yet, there will definitely be an explanation later.
Speaking of which, now that Gulemo's "dream" state has disappeared, why hasn't the Fairyland prompt for completing the main quest popped up?
When Luigi was wondering, a hesitant voice suddenly came to his ear.
"Can I ask you something?"
Luigi looked back and found that it was Uriel who asked the question.
The most important thing is that Uriel's eyes were obviously confused and not clear. This means that Uriel is still in a "dream" state? !
Hey, the three-minute countdown has ended, why hasn't Uriel ended his "dream" state?
Can the fairyland prompt be wrong?
"What's the question?" Although Luigi was curious about why Uriel was still in a "dream" state, he also knew that no one could answer this question. Uriel himself certainly didn't know the answer.
So, there was no need to ask.
Uriel: "Can I record the three pieces of music you just performed, compile them into a collection, and send them back to Birmingham Eden College to be published in the school magazine?"
"This can also increase your reputation and further deepen Principal Charlotte's recognition of you."
Faced with Uriel's expectations, Luigi did not hesitate at all and nodded directly: "Of course."
Before, when "hiding the easter egg", he had already given Uriel several pieces of music he performed, so one or two pieces would not be a big deal.
Moreover, the three songs performed today are his masterpieces, especially "Ode to the Galaxy". He has put a lot of effort into this song. He also hopes that these songs can be passed on to more distant places and let more people know about them.
With Luigi's nod of agreement, Uriel also bowed solemnly, with a look of relief on his face.
Then the next second, Uriel's eyes returned to calm.
The "dream" state ended.
Luigi: "... I dare say that the extra dream state is just to ask about this matter?"
This copyright awareness is quite strong.
Luigi complained a few words in his heart, and temporarily gave up the idea of investigating further.
Because——
The long-lost fairyland prompt finally appeared!
"Special Dream "Uriel's Choice" Main Quest 5, challenge successful."
"Give evaluation: I want to stand up straight and overcome all obstacles, I want to get Charlotte's recognition, I want to step onto the stage of the heavens... This is just the first step."
"Reward settlement: Based on the current main progress, the following rewards are given."
"Reward 1: Muloy's command class."
"Reward 2: Gulemo's teaching class."
When Luigi saw the fairyland prompt, the first thought that came to his mind was: It seems that there is no main quest 6?
Under normal circumstances, every time the fairyland prompt appears: "Currently completed the main quest X, the main quest X+1 will be opened after the reward is settled."
But this time there was no such prompt.
Has the Uriel dungeon been cleared?
But according to the previous experience of the Bila dungeon, there is a prompt for clearing the dungeon. Why is there no prompt for clearing the dungeon this time?
Luigi was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, he looked at the rewards given for clearing the main quest 5 this time.
The first reward is: Muloy's command class
This is not an item reward, but a "summoning" skill.
The introduction is as follows: "When in the "Uriel's Choice" dungeon and related derivative dungeons, you can summon Mulloy to learn the conducting class. The time limit is 2 hours per day."
Mulloy's identity is the former general conductor of the Imperial Music Orchestra, and his conducting class must be great.
But Luigi has never been exposed to a conducting class, nor has he worked with a conductor.
This course is completely unfamiliar to him.
"This reward is not bad, but..." Luigi felt pressured when he thought about learning a new skill.
Luigi swallowed his saliva and continued to look at the second reward: Gulemo's teaching class.
From the introduction, it is somewhat similar to "Mulloy's Conducting Class", but! But!
Gulemo's teaching class has one more thing to pay attention to.
"When in the "Uriel's Choice" dungeon and related derivative dungeons, you can summon Gulemo and learn harp performance. The time limit is 2 hours per day."
"Note: When the reward is opened after 8 pm every day, there is a small chance that Gulemo will be summoned in the "dream" state."
