Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 4361 Discussion
Aside from Luigi and Blanche, why is there a list of nearly thirty other people?
Because the remaining thirty people are all... dreamers.

Uriel, Guleimo, Laiira, Lia, Kokomol...

During this period, all Dreamers who appeared in the Uriel instance were listed.

Most of them only appeared once, basically to challenge Luigi, but the admission list included them all, which is why the list looks so long.

Upon seeing the names on the admission list, everyone was puzzled. Why was this the case?
After discussion, Luigi finally offered a guess:
"Perhaps only those with legitimate status in Dream Crystal Plains can enter the Misty Swamp Forest instance?"

Uriel, Guleimo, and others, although not challengers, already possessed the legitimate identity of "Dreamers" as defined by Dream Crystal.

Therefore, they can enter.

The Sun and Moon Wizard, Camillo, and the black cat Tired are essentially still "travelers" and have not yet obtained legal status. Only when Luigi's approval rating for them reaches 100% and unlocks the "Departing Traveler" identity will they be recognized by the Dream Crystal Plains and obtain legal status.

However, there is also a problem here.

If only people with legal status can enter the Misty Forest, then why is "Blanche" inside?
This was the question Camillo asked, but it was also a question that puzzled the Sun and Moon Wizard, the Black Cat Tired, and even Blanche herself.

Luigi knew the answer to this question perfectly.

Blanche is different from the others. Although she entered the Uriel instance illegally, she is a "talented person" and has already gained the recognition of Dream Crystal Plains and has a legal identity from the beginning.

However, Luigi never mentioned this.

Even when Blanche lacked "recognition" and had no "designated identity," Luigi simply brushed it off with some meaningless words.

His original plan was to wait until he completed his own instance, at which point everyone would have "legal status" and leave together, and they would naturally find out.

It's better to blend in with the world.

But now that things have come to this point, Luigi thought for a moment and decided to speak frankly.

"Actually, I've always had my suspicions about this."

“I believe you already knew that Blanche was different from you from the beginning. If you wanted to stay in Dream Crystal Plains, you needed to be tested by the world’s will. That’s why you had the tasks of ‘constructing an identity’ and ‘acceptance’.”

"But Blanche doesn't have this mission, nor does she have any related information panel."

Camillo nodded; they were all aware of this as well.

Luigi: "Blanche's special circumstances puzzle me. I originally thought that the reason Blanche didn't have these things was because she was rejected by the world's will... After all, she was the one who smuggled herself in."

"But I've been thinking about this question lately: if the world's will truly rejects Blanche, then why does it allow her to remain in the Uriel instance instead of expelling her?"

"Is it possible that Blanche wasn't actually rejected, but rather that the world's will favored her exclusively?"

Luigi looked at everyone, and when he saw Blanche, who was somewhat surprised, a complex look flashed in his eyes.

"When I thought about it that way, I found that everything made sense."

"Because he favored Blanche, he never drove her away; because he favored Blanche, he specially opened up Murron Street, and even the most central apartment in the building belonged to Blanche..."

"Further reasoning, I even once thought that perhaps the world's will had already granted Blanche a legitimate identity the moment she entered this place."

"Because she is already legal, she doesn't need to do any tasks or get my approval."

As Luigi finished speaking, he turned to look at the withered tree in the courtyard.

"However, these were all just my guesses, without any concrete evidence. To confirm them, we may have to wait until the Uriel instance ends and see if she can freely enter the Dream Crystal Plains."

"Therefore, although I had some guesses in my mind, I did not say them out loud."

"Who knew that a portal to the Misty Forest dungeon would appear in the Uriel dungeon? Even more strangely, the Wonderland notification clearly listed the list of those allowed entry..."

By this point, everyone had understood what he meant.

When only Luigi and Blanche are on the list of eligible applicants, it's as if the Crystal of Dreams is telling them that Blanche already has legal status.

Although this left them feeling somewhat uneasy, upon closer reflection, it seemed quite reasonable.

They were brought into the Dream Crystal Plains by Blanche.

Blanche possesses an extremely unique dream-based talent. Although this talent has significant side effects, it is inherently of very high caliber.

In a sense, this kind of talent is definitely bestowed by the will of the dream world, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is the darling of the dream world's will.

It is reasonable for someone who has gained the favor of the Dream Realm's will to be favored by the Dream Crystal Origin, which shares the same origin.

Camillo: "So, Blanche already had a legal identity from the beginning..."

The Sun and Moon Wizards didn't immediately agree. Instead, they glanced at the black cat, Juanjuan, with a subtle look. Seeing Juanjuan nod slightly, they realized that what Luigi said was probably true.

—The black cat Juanjuan is favored by fate, and what it believes in is basically impossible to be wrong.

The Sun and Moon Wizard was not embarrassed by the result.

They were well aware of how terrifying Blanche's talent was, comparable to the power of laws, and it was perfectly normal for her to be valued by the world's will.

The only thing that disappointed them was that they had originally planned to visit the Misty Forest, but they were stuck on the legal status section.

Thinking of this, Mr. Sun couldn't help but say, "Luigi, why don't you just get straight to the point and tell us what you're unhappy with about us?"

Luigi asked in confusion, "?? I didn't complain."

Mr. Sun: "If you have no complaints, then why is your approval rating of us consistently stuck at 90%?"

Previously, the approval rating was at least 3% to 5% per day, and sometimes even 10%. But in the last two days, it's been like ants crawling, with even a 1% approval rating per day considered a lot.

Lady Moon and Camillo also looked at Luigi, wanting an answer.

Faced with the gazes of the crowd, Luigi didn't know how to answer.

You can't exactly say that he deliberately stalled the progress, planning to raise their approval rating to 100% all at once on the day he clears the game, can you?

This is the truth, but I can't say it.

But he didn't dare to make up any excuse. — Mainly because Black Cat Juanjuan was there, he dared not lie at all.

Sweat began to bead on his forehead as he pondered what Barnum-esque line to use that would allow him to respond politely without being exposed by Juan Juan.

Just as Luigi was pondering this, Blanche suddenly said, "Another location has been unlocked."

Everyone looked over and saw that Blanche had walked to the vicinity of the tree gate, seemingly investigating something.

Curious, they went over to take a look and found that the instance information had changed again; previously, there were four people challenging it, but now there were only three.

In other words, another position has become available.

"Does this mean that Mr. Luigi and I can go into the Misty Forest dungeon together later?" Blanche's face lit up with surprise.

She hadn't woken up during this time, and had basically remained inside the Uriel instance. The cramped space of the instance was starting to bore Blanche.

She would be more than willing to visit other instances, even if it was just to breathe some fresh air.

“If there are two spots, you two can indeed enter together, but I’m still a little concerned. Why is the entrance to the Misty Forest instance in the Uriel instance?” Camillo’s eyes flashed with inquiry: “Mr. Luigi said before that the Misty Forest might be related to Mr. Uriel, but I haven’t found any evidence of a connection since I logged off.”

"But if Mr. Luigi's guess is correct, wouldn't letting Uriel in help solve the puzzle faster?"

Camiro started the discussion, and everyone else joined in, discussing the selection process.

This diversion conveniently deflected the topic of "approval" that Luigi was worried about, which made him breathe a deep sigh of relief...

However, before Luigi could finish catching his breath, he heard Mr. Sun say, "Although we don't know what the situation is like inside the Misty Forest instance, the fact that two participants have been eliminated in just half an hour shows that the instance is very difficult."

"It would be risky to give one of the two spots to Blanche and the other to Uriel."

“Blanche can’t use her abilities here, and wilderness survival skills are also important. Uriel is a musician, so it’s estimated that he will have a hard time finding clues in the Misty Forest.”

"Personally, I think it would be best to pair Blanche with someone who is good at both survival and puzzle-solving, such as... the Moon."

Mr. Sun pointed to Ms. Moon and enthusiastically recommended his wife, saying that Ms. Moon had hundreds of years of wilderness survival experience and countless mystery-solving skills, making her an excellent team leader.

But all of this is predicated on... Ms. Moon having a legal identity.

As for legal status...

All eyes turned to Luigi once again.

Luigi never expected that just when he thought he had escaped a disaster, he would end up back at the same problem.

Just as Luigi was hesitating about how to "fool out" the situation, a voice once again interrupted everyone's attention.

However, this voice did not come from the people present, but rather... a voice from beyond the heavens.

"Excuse me for interrupting your discussion." A clear voice reached everyone's ears.

This was a sound they had never heard before.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, Luigi spoke up: "Ann... what brings you here?"

It was Angell who spoke this time.

Luigi originally intended to call Angel by his name, but considering that there were two legendary wizards and a cat of destiny present, he was unsure whether it was appropriate to call him by his name directly, so he changed his mind and asked.

Angell guessed Luigi's thoughts and chuckled, "Excuse me for disturbing you, let me introduce myself first... My name is Angell, and like Luigi, I come from the Dream Mirror."

"I am currently outside the Uriel instance, and by consuming a special Wonderland item, I am able to contact you across instances."

"I'm taking the liberty of speaking up now because I wanted to talk to you all about the situation in the Misty Forest dungeon... Originally, I was thinking of talking to Luigi in real life after he logged off, but he hasn't logged off yet, so I can only bother you all here."

Although everyone felt taken aback by Angel's introduction, they temporarily accepted this unexpected message once they confirmed that Luigi knew the visitor.

At that moment, Camillo suddenly realized something: "You are the external information channel that Mr. Luigi mentioned before?"

Previously, when Luigi sent Camillo to investigate Uriel, he revealed a lot of information, including information about the Uriel instance... How could Luigi know so much when he had never left the Uriel instance?

Luigi's explanation was that he had external information channels.

Angel: "Although I don't know what Mr. Camillo is referring to, if he's asking about Luigi's intelligence sources, then I am... or rather, the entire Dream Mirror is Luigi's intelligence source."

Camillo: "You know my name?"

Angor chuckled lightly: "Luigi told me about you all offline, so I have some basic understanding of you. Including the shocking events in the Uriel instance, which Luigi actually told me about offline."

Camillo frowned but said nothing more.

The Sun and Moon Wizards exchanged a glance, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit awkward, Luigi quickly spoke up to ease the tension: "You mean, you have new information about the Misty Swamp Forest?"

Angel nodded in agreement: "Yes, I just received some information and came to inform you as soon as possible."

Of course, there was another reason, which was to help Luigi out of a predicament.

Since he's outside the instance, Juanjuan can't target him, so lying won't have any effect. For example, just now, he said he was discussing the "Uriel instance upheaval" with Luigi offline, which was actually a lie.

Angel: "The first piece of information, I guess you already know, is that two members of the Kermai squad have been eliminated. In other words, there should be two empty spots at your entrance."

"I won't participate in the discussion about who you send into the Misty Forest instance, but I can pass on some other information that I just obtained."

"This information was given to me by those two eliminated contestants."

Next, Angell began to recount the experiences of Bulko and Rebecca.

At the same time, it also briefly described the general situation in the Misty Swamp Forest, including the various human factions within the swamp forest, as well as some relevant information about the "evil spirits".

It particularly emphasizes the first "fragment of truth" that the one-eyed dragon told Kemai, which is the identity of the evil spirit.

Upon hearing this news, a look of surprise flashed across Camillo's eyes, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"The priests of the Radiant Church in Evening Light Harbor?!"

It should be noted that Camillo was originally from the Church of Radiant Light, and there are many close connections between the Church of Radiant Light and the Church of Radiant Light, which can be described as a relationship of "master and branch" and "backstage and frontstage".

The followers of the Radiant Church are mostly ordinary people. It is a secular religion that the Radiant Church deliberately puts on the forefront, secretly controlling all aspects of the world. The Radiant Church, on the other hand, is a supernatural organization hidden behind the Radiant Church, silently supporting the operation of the entire Radiant Church.

It is precisely because of this inseparable connection that Camillo was so surprised when he heard that the "evil spirit" was actually a priest of the Church of Radiance.
