Chapter 3375 Main task

   After reading the description of the main mission 4, Luigi's eyes flashed a hint of realization.

   The descriptions of main mission 4 and main mission 2 are almost exactly the same.

   It’s just that there is an extra “waiting” link in the main mission 4, and the rest are the same as the main mission 2, you need to talk to Uriel, and the choice during the conversation will affect the next instance path.

   Don't look at just talking to Uriel, it sounds very simple.

  But in Luigi's opinion, this task of talking is probably more difficult than the seat assessment.

  Because the reserved seat assessment is a straight road, there will indeed be bumps in the middle, but these bumps can be resolved, as long as the bumps are overcome, the road ahead will be smooth...

  At least, you won't go the wrong way.

   Talking with Uriel is different, every word you say will refresh Uriel's judgment on you.

  What the direction of the final dungeon will be depends on how Uriel views you in the end...or in other words, the choices you make during the dialogue will lead to a very different path of the dungeon.

  In short, talking to Uriel is like standing at the beginning of a road with countless forks, and Luigi needs to make constant choices. And every choice he makes will lead him to a different fork in the road.

   These fork roads cannot all be right roads, most of them are wrong roads.

  If you want to reach the final destination all the way, you must choose the wrong path from the beginning to the end, otherwise, it will be in vain.

   And, only one chance.

   There is no possibility of trial and error at all.

  So, in Luigi's opinion, talking is really not easy...

However, Angel outside the attic, after hearing Luigi's long and short sighs, said indifferently: "As long as your goal remains the same and you keep moving towards this goal, then you don't have to worry about the so-called choice, because your The heart will help you find the right answer."

  Luigi was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "You are right."

  Why did Luigi come to the copy of Uriel?

  Because the clown of the Sunshine Circus told him that here is the stage he wanted.

  Why did Luigi keep playing in front of Uriel, competing for the top three seats?

  Because Uriel told him that if he wants to go to that "dream stage", he must obtain the top three seats of the Imperial Music Troupe.

   That's right, Luigi has only one goal: to get on the stage of his dreams.

  Uriel doesn’t want to go, and the chief of the Imperial Music Orchestra doesn’t want to go, so let him go!

  He longs for the stage, and also longs for acting.

  For such a stage, in order to gain more audience recognition, he came to the Uriel instance, and he has been entangled with Uriel to this day.

  As long as his goal remains unchanged, no matter how difficult the choice is, no matter how many forks in the road, it will not affect the overall situation.

  However, then again, during the main mission 2, he had already expressed his attitude to Uriel. Between the "dazzling stage" and the "dream stage", he chose the "dream stage".

   Because of this, Uriel let him compete for the top three seats, and gave him the "Letter of Recommendation from the Chief of the Imperial Music Orchestra".

  What should be said at that time has already been said, why do we have to talk now? Moreover, the content of the conversation will still affect the dungeon process...

what is going on?

   What is the conversation in main mission 4?

  Luigi was very puzzled, but he could only put it on hold for now. After all, Uriel has not returned, nor has he entered the "dream" state. He can only wait for the next time he sees Uriel before exploring.

  …

   At a distant space-time distance.

   Dasman Empire, Dawn City, Night.

   At the end of the song, Uriel's head was lying on the piano table, sweat continued to flow down, leaving a pool of wet marks on the walnut board.

   "If it's on the reserved seats, this piece of music will at least be in the top three seats... Besides, the chief will definitely like it." Uriel murmured in a low voice with his eyes dazed.

   "It's just that everything is a dream."

   "There is no seat for the harp, nor this piece of music..."

Uriel muttered a few words, but at this moment, he suddenly thought of something: "If it was really a dream, why can I reproduce this piece of music? The style of this piece of music is completely different from the style I am familiar with. , without this dream, I would never have heard this style of music in my life..."

   "Also, these days I can hear different music every day, and the style is completely different...Why is that?"

   "Is it really a dream?"

   "Or, somewhere far away, someone is playing this piece of music?"

   "But even so, why did I hear it?"

  Uriel slowly sat up straight, and an image flashed in his mind...soft eyebrows and long golden hair.

   This is, his partner.

   is also a protester who died under the oppression of the church.

   "Is it... you?" Uriel asked softly into the air.

Air naturally couldn't answer him, but Uriel's eyes were confused, and he continued: "Why did you let me hear these music? You should know that after you leave, I don't want to push away from the Palace of Art anymore. the gate of…”

   "You clearly know that my dreams and my future will perish with your departure."

   "But why did you let me hear this again?"

   "Do you want me not to go on like this, or do you want me to go...there?"

  Uriel muttered to himself, his eyes became more and more confused, and in a trance, it seemed that the deceased had stood beside him... Even the cold air was filled with the temperature of the deceased.

   No!

   There is really someone beside him! This temperature is not fake!

  Uriel woke up suddenly, opened his eyes and looked around.

  After seeing the figure around him clearly, Uriel's eyes slowly became calm.

   Indeed, there is another person around, but this person is not an old friend, but a hale and hearty old man. He was dressed very neatly, with suits and leather shoes. Even though his head was covered with white hair, he was not at all sluggish, and even looked more energetic than Uriel.

   "You... why are you here?" Uriel asked softly with lowered eyes.

   From his tone, it can be known that the visitor must be his acquaintance.

  The fact is indeed the case, the person who came was his closest friend, Housekeeper Cha, who had watched him grow up. However, ever since he was kicked out of the house by his father after relinquishing his responsibilities in the music troupe, he seldom saw housekeeper Cha.

  However, although Uriel did not meet Housekeeper Zha directly, he knew that he would often come here to bring him the necessities of life.

   Also secretly put some pocket money in his drawer.

   Steward Zha would leave a message saying that this was given to him by his father... But Uriel knew that what his father cared about was fame, and he would not pay attention to him who did not have the title of the Imperial Music Troupe, even if he was a blood relative.

  The so-called pocket money is more from the housekeeper Zha's own subsidies, and what the chief brought him.

   Uriel respected this housekeeper who loved him since he was a child. Even if he broke into the empty door in the middle of the night and ran to the attic bedroom, he would not dare to do it again...

"I'm not trespassing." Housekeeper Zha knows Wulier too well, and Wulier guessed his thoughts when he rolled his eyes: "I just passed by here and found that your door was open, so I wanted to help you." You close the door."

  However, when he came to the yard and was about to close the door, Housekeeper Zha heard the sound of a piano from the attic.

  Intense notes, like sharp knives tore through the night and inserted into the flame furnace.

   Butler Zha listened to it unconsciously, and even heard the overtones of this piano piece... Dissatisfaction with religion, would rather burn everything, and play this elegy.

   Butler Zha knew very well why Uriel quit the music troupe, and why he was depressed in this dilapidated hut. Everything stems from the departure of 'him'.

  The departure of 'him' was caused by the Radiance Church.

  So, the sad song that Uriel played in the middle of the night was actually paying homage to him?

   Housekeeper Zha felt sorry for what happened to Uriel, but was also slightly happy... Since leaving the music troupe, Ulier rarely touched the piano again. When he came a few days ago, the piano was even covered with dust.

  It seems that Uriel has completely abandoned his identity as a musician.

   Now, Uriel has played the piano again. Even though the sound of the piano is full of indignation, in the eyes of Housekeeper Zha, this is a good start.

   Maybe Uriel already has plans to get out of his decadent life?

  Butler Zha unconsciously came to the attic, wanting to have a long talk with Uriel.

  But when he saw Uriel's dodging eyes, he knew that Uriel hadn't come out of the shadows yet...

   Talking to him about anything now will not lead to good results, and may cause Uriel's rebellious heart.

   Alas, I am so helpless. This is more than 20 years late for the rebellious period of youth...

   Housekeeper Zha shook his head, lamenting in his heart how difficult it was for him. The young master never rebelled against youth when he was young, but he did not expect to be rebellious once in middle age.

  Perhaps because of the backlog of most of my life, this rebellion is even more serious.

  Refused to bow his head, even unwilling to go home.

  As the housekeeper who watched him grow up, all he can do is... tolerance.

  If even he does not tolerate Uriel, who will tolerate it?

   Butler Zha shook his head, and while skillfully putting away the dirty clothes on the bed, he said in a low voice, "If you want to practice the piano, do it during the day, and you won't be afraid of disturbing the people around you in the middle of the night."

   "There is no one living nearby." Uriel retorted subconsciously: The nearest neighbor is the home of the crying woman just now. She didn't sleep, and she couldn't be disturbed.

   "The point is not to disturb the people, but to sleep at night and do business during the day." Housekeeper Zha quickly put away the dirty clothes and tidied the quilt along the way.

   "The quilt is full of wine smells. Let's just fall asleep today. I'll come over during the day and change your bed."

  Uriel wanted to refuse, but he knew that even if he refused, Housekeeper Zha would not listen. This is not a discussion, but a notice.

  Thinking of this, Uriel sighed deeply and didn't speak.

   Housekeeper Zha picked up the dirty clothes: "These dirty clothes, as well as the pile on the sofa on the first floor, I'll take them back first, and bring them to you after washing them."

  Uriel didn't reply, but curled his lips and said, "You haven't slept, you're still running around outside. It's dangerous at night."

  The first half of the sentence is a complaint, but Housekeeper Zha knows that the complaint is just a statement, and the second half of the sentence is the key point.

   Housekeeper Zha: "I'm not alone, there are guards outside."

   "Guards?" Uriel was taken aback for a moment, walked to the window, and looked down.

   Sure enough, outside his yard, there was a group of carriages parked. Beside the carriages stood not only a group of guards, but also a priest in white robes.

  The priest seemed to have noticed Uriel's gaze and looked up.

  When he saw Uriel's face, the priest waved to him with a smile: "Long time no see... You play well, and your technique hasn't deteriorated at all."

  Uriel snorted coldly, and lowered the curtains.

  The priest below is his playmate for many years and is now a white-robed priest of the Radiance Church.

  He doesn't believe that the other party can't hear the rebellion in his music...

  However, even if you hear it, it doesn’t matter. His old friend seems to be devout to the gods, but it’s just a superficial effort. As long as there are no substantive actions, he won’t care about any “anti-religious” behavior at all.

   "Why is he following you?" Uriel asked doubtfully.

  Uriel understands the character of his old friend too well, he is lazy, undisciplined, and lacks self-motivation. Even his laziness is more serious than his current situation. The only difference is that when he is lazy, he will clean up his image, while Uriel is completely unkempt when he is decadent.

   Because of this, Uriel felt puzzled when he saw him appearing beside the convoy.

   "He's looking for the master." Housekeeper Zha took an oily handkerchief and carefully wiped the piano.

   "Looking for father?" Uriel frowned: "What happened?"

   Steward Zha: "It's nothing serious. It seems that he wants to borrow some guards. He plans to go to the Night Light Harbor to pick up a priest and return to the glorious church."

   What Steward Zha said was cryptic, but in fact, to put it bluntly: in Wandeng Harbor, hundreds of miles away from Dawn City, a priest died and needed to be taken back to Dawn City for a divine burial.

  Uriel: "It's not difficult to go to Wandeng Harbor. You can just follow the troubled river. Why do you need to ask your father to borrow a guard?"

   Steward Zha looked at Ulier helplessly: "You, you, since you came here, you don't care about outside things at all."

  Uriel: "???"

   "I remember I ordered a newspaper for you. You should have a newspaper from a few days ago, right?"

  Uriel hesitated and said: "There should be, if not, I might have lit the burning wine..."

   After cleaning the piano, housekeeper Zha put away the piano oil: "Wait a minute, I'll go down and look for it."

   Not long after, Housekeeper Zha came up from downstairs, holding a crumpled newspaper in his hand.

   "Only this page, you can read it yourself." Housekeeper Zha pointed to the headline of the newspaper, and then waved his hand: "I'll go first, it's okay to keep others waiting, I'll come back during the day."

   "Remember to go to bed early after reading."

  The voice of the housekeeper, accompanied by the sound of the carriage moving away, gradually disappeared in the evening wind.

   After Housekeeper Zha left completely, Uriel lay on the clean bed and picked up the "Dawn Morning Post".

  Check the page that the butler pointed to before, there are three news in total.

   "Because of the war in the east, the middle and lower section of the river was blocked in advance, and it will be unblocked in the spring of next year." This is the main news on this page.

   "Forty thieves have appeared recently on the north branch road from Dawn City to Night Lantern Harbor, please pay attention to travelers" This is the first news.

  Combining these two important news, Uriel probably understood the situation.

   Annoyed that the river is blocked, so it is impossible to go down the river to Wandenggang.

  Water is not available, only land.

   From the land route to Wandenggang, the nearest is the North Branch Road. This road is a commercial road, and the most familiar ones are the guards at home.

  In addition, there are bandits on the North Branch Road, so he wants to go to Wandeng Harbor and find his father's guard to **** him, which is just right.

  Uriel originally thought there was something big, but it was just these small things.

  He shook his head, and glanced at the last piece of news: "The swampy forest near the southern branch of Liming City is full of fog, and evil spirits seem to be haunting it."

   "The gods and ghosts must be another gimmick made by the Church of Radiance."

   It is nothing more than gaining faith by intimidating the people at the bottom.

   Really boring.

  Uriel put the newspaper aside.

  Maybe it's because he played the piano strenuously before, and he's sweating again. Now he just feels inexplicably tired... Maybe, he should sleep a little longer?

  Thinking of this, Uriel's body slowly slid into the bed, and the warm bed was like some kind of seal, bringing him into a dark and sweet dreamland...
