Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 4004 His Dream
The same task can be received from two different NPCs.

Although this was the first time that Ingres had encountered such a situation, when he thought about it carefully, it was not too surprising.

The first person they met who had NPC information was called Geralt. His NPC information contained this sentence: "Contacting Geralt and other characters in the same series may trigger the side quest "The Truth Covered by Fire"."

In other words, as long as you encounter the same event, you can receive the same task even from different NPCs.

This also echoes the current situation.

It seems that both Lila and the little witch are very concerned about this "witch's bloodline"...

After Lira introduced the core members on the stage, he went on to talk in detail about matters related to the Hermit Society, such as the original intention of its establishment and its vision for the future.

But to Ingres, a lot of it was lies, or was deliberately omitted or understated.

For example, Lira concealed their origins from the City of Desire and some of Cecilia's family's past. Only talking about the goal, not the past, the original intention is vague, but the future vision is likely to be true.

——Take root in the modern city and become a rising star force.

This is the future goal of the Hermitage.

Although there was a lot of false information, Angel didn't care too much, because if he were in Lila's position, he wouldn't have told the story of the "Dark Corner Witch". It was already good enough to be able to justify the past and future of the Hermit Society.

After talking about the various things about the Hermit Society, the next step is to officially enter the welcome party.

According to Lira, the welcome party has three parts. The first part is self-introduction, which is an opportunity for the newcomers to show up, introduce themselves, and demonstrate their specialties.

It sounds like an awkward segment, but the response was actually quite enthusiastic.

After all, this is a modern city, a city-state that advocates art, pursues fashion and expresses one's own personality!

If talented people don't show off, people living here will think it's a waste of talent.

What's more, isn't it the same as a stage to show off your talents among the crowd?

What does the stage mean in the modern city?
It means popularity, style, gorgeousness, creativity, fusion... and these all correspond to the category of fashion magician.

In other words, the stage means challenges, which means you might be noticed by fashion monsters and get more powerful puzzle pieces.

Therefore, this segment which sounds awkward is actually the one that everyone is keen on pursuing.

Angel saw many people who showed themselves generously on the stage, even if they were not very talented. For example, the young man who was on the stage five minutes ago was walking on the catwalk, singing in a freeze frame, and drawing on the whiteboards on both sides. At the end of the performance, he even drew a line between his eyebrows...

Fashion shows represent style.

Singing represents passion.

Painting represents manufacturing.

The final stroke on the face is equivalent to "makeup", representing fusion and gorgeousness.

It can be said that he wants to try everything.

I just hope to perform a few more shows on stage and see what kind of fashion monsters I can attract.

This person is undoubtedly a novice magician, because only a novice, when there are not too many puzzles in the magic book, will choose to "cast a wide net"; after truly entering the magician circle, they will start to slowly master a series, instead of wanting everything.

Apart from these third-rate performances that wanted to get involved in everything, there were also some excellent talent shows, such as the young man who was giving a talk on "Future Art" on the stage. With the help of holographic projection, he showed the blueprint of the future building he designed to everyone.

Ingres did not study much about architectural art, but one can still see the excellence of his designs.

When he stepped down from the stage, there was unanimous applause.

The atmosphere on the field was very heated.

Unfortunately, even with such a lively atmosphere, no fashion monsters came to watch. This also shows how much of an animal Edward is.

When Ingres was thinking of "Edward", Edward had already stepped onto the middle stage.

Under the gaze of everyone, Edward's desire to perform became stronger and stronger, and his seductive words were like a string of cannonballs, constantly outputting to the outside world.

The girls' blushing face means everything.

However, Edward didn't go on stage to do a talk show, he was performing makeup and hair styling.

Originally, he wanted to invite his "fans" to come on stage and perform with him, but his eyes wandered among the crowd and finally looked at... Lira.

"Dear President Lira, are you willing to change into a new look and experience a new life?"

Edward bowed and touched his chest as an invitation.

Lila looked at Edward with his non-mainstream Mohawk hairstyle, was silent for a few seconds, and declined.

However, although Lila refused, the little witch was eager to try. She had never met Edward before, and just now she heard Edward's speech on the stage, talking about how the beauty of a girl is to live up to the promise of youth. For some reason, she felt itchy when she heard it.

Edward saw the eagerness in the little witch's eyes. He smiled slightly and naturally changed the person who invited from Leela to the little witch.

Although the little witch was a little hesitant, looking at Edward's firm and sincere eyes, she nodded shyly, and went on stage under Lila's worried gaze.

Next, Edward changed the little witch's look.

Angel watched silently...I have to say, Edward's craftsmanship is really strong.

Just scratching her hair casually has made the little witch change from being well-behaved to being bright and charming.

However, compared to the skill of grabbing hair, Angel felt that Edward's "ambition" was stronger. First it was Lira, and then the little witch. It seemed that he wanted to reach a high position in the Hermit Order.

Angel sighed.

Forget it, Edward is my teammate after all, so let him do whatever he wants.

Just as Angel was thinking this, Edward on the stage suddenly became drowsy and fainted on the stage the next second.

Angel: "..."

Fuck your teammates!

……

Edward is once again targeted by the fashion monster.

Two consecutive challenges within one day. No, to be precise, within one hour.

Not to mention Angor, all the senior members of the Hermit Order looked at Edward who was unconscious on the stage with surprise. Soon, the surprise turned into delight.

Because they also figured out at this time that the reason Edward could attract the attention of fashion monsters so frequently was because of his unparalleled makeup and hair skills!

This is a top notch craftsman!
Such people, as long as they show their talents, will definitely be recruited by major organizations!
Now, there is a craftsman who has been living outside, and he has been recruited into the Hermit Association. How can they not be surprised? !
In fact, this surprise is comparable to Ingres' "Golden Scissors".

Because of the top craftsmanship, it can also become the [special project] of the Hermit Association, and the more special projects there are, the more stable the position of the Hermit Association will be.

Lila even thought about the future. After they got a special space as their territory and completely stabilized it, Angel's golden scissors would pave the way for the magician circle in Modern City, and Edward's makeup and hair skills would attract countless magicians...

Steady!

Lila happily had Edward carried to the sofa on the side, and personally came over to set up a special defense circle around Edward.

It can not only ensure Edward's safety, but also isolate him from external sounds, so that he will not be disturbed by the outside world.

After doing all this, Lila returned to the stage and announced that the welcome party would continue.

Although Edward had given her a big surprise, she certainly couldn't interrupt the welcome party before the other "surprise" came on stage. After all, this welcome party was originally prepared for "Angel".

Then several newcomers came on stage to introduce themselves.

Even April 1st came on stage to demonstrate his pastry-making skills and distributed the hot bread he made to everyone present.

Naturally, Ingres also got a piece of milky bread.

Mmm...yummy.

If his "magic bread" score is "-10", then this pastry in his hand is "10"! It's not just 10 points, but the full score is only 10 points.

Unfortunately, the pastries made on April 1st did not attract the fashion monsters. Perhaps it was because there were few gourmet monsters in the modern city?

It is said that there are more gourmet monsters in the City of Dreams and the City of Desires.

Seeing that the first round of self-presentation was about to end, Angel, who was the focus of Lira, had no intention of going on stage. She could only hint to Xiaolu to come over and ask.

In response to Xiaolu's tactful questioning, Ingres said that he had no talent at all.

However, Ingres finally went on stage to introduce himself. He also introduced his business of helping people remove book pages, but an appointment was required in advance.

After the commercial, Angle left the stage.

Although Lila felt a little disappointed that he didn't see Ingres' "talent", his willingness to go on stage also represented his integration into the Hermit Order, so Lila was still quite satisfied.

The next part was the second one. Lira asked several senior magicians from the Hermit Society to come on stage to talk about some theories of fashion magic, future card drawing plans and so on.

To put it simply, it is to provide scientific knowledge to new magicians.

After the popular science lecture, if the new magicians present want to learn for a long time, they can also register to become temporary students of those magicians at this time.

This is the second part, using "teaching" methods to make the new magicians who are eager to learn develop a dependence on the Hermit Society.

During this session, Xiaolu also asked Ingres indirectly whether he needed a long-term teacher.

Ingres refused without hesitation.

In reality, he might follow the routine, but in the dungeon, with the power of a God's perspective, he doesn't need to find someone to teach him what he wants to learn.

Even if we really encounter a magic problem, we still have Zuniga and Vera...

The third link is also the final link.

That is free activity.

Some people danced, some feasted, some displayed their talents and aroused admiration, while others avoided the hustle and bustle and enjoyed the night view of the black market outside.

Angel did not participate in this session, but came to President Lira.

Prepare to complete the task of tearing the pages first.

"Are you going to start now? Aren't you going to continue the party?" Lila: "If you don't want to dance, you can have something to eat and drink."

Angel: "I have something to do today, so I have to go back early."

Although Lila felt a little regretful, she nodded and said, "Okay, come with me."

Lila asked Xiaolu to take good care of Edward, then called the little witch and Karen, and they all went up to the fourth floor together.

There was a revolving bar on the fourth floor, and Karen walked into the bar naturally and made drinks for everyone.

The little witch ordered a glass of apple juice, Lila ordered a glass of Casuri red wine, and after hesitating for a moment, Angel ordered a glass of pure milk.

"Drinking milk is good, it can help you grow taller." The little witch said seriously.

Angel: "Then you drink too?"

The little witch immediately hugged the apple juice in her hand and shook her head violently, fearing that Karen would replace the apple juice with milk.

Ingres laughed and took a sip of the milk.

After finishing his drink, Ingres ordered another one.

Anyway, it's in a copy, so it doesn't matter even if they know that I like to drink milk.

"About the pages to be torn apart..." After Angel finished drinking the milk, he looked at Lila.

Lila chuckled. "We can talk about the book pages later. I'm actually more curious about Mr. Angell than these. I wanted to get to know Mr. Angell better at the welcome party, but he doesn't seem to like such lively places... I don't like them either."

"There aren't many people here right now, why don't we just chat?"

Angel could confirm through extrasensory perception that Lila's emotions at this moment were 70% curiosity and the remaining few points were worry.

After all, Lira hoped to recruit Angel as a senior executive, but was worried about Angel's background, so he made this attempt.

Angel: "If the president wants to know about my past, then the last time I came here, I already said everything I should and could say."

In other words, there is nothing else to say.

Lila smiled and said, "To understand a person, you don't just need to know about the past. In fact, I want to know more about your thoughts about the future. For example, what dreams do you have? Or what wishes do you want to realize?"

The little witch holding a glass cup bigger than her face whispered, "Just like my dream is to find the culprit who caused my mission to fail and beat him up..."

Lila patted the little witch's head: "This is not a dream, it's just your momentary resentment."

The little witch pouted and muttered with her head turned away.

Lila saw the curiosity in Angel's eyes and explained, "She suddenly failed in a challenge mission not long ago, so she is a little resentful. Don't worry about her."

The little witch protested: "I'm not angry because the mission failed. I was angry because I prepared myself for several hours. I finally lost my dignity and rolled in the mud before I could talk to the eldest sister of the Adams family. But the mission suddenly failed. How can I not be angry!"

If the mission failed before she even got to the mud pile, she wouldn't care.

Lila and the little witch were just talking casually, but Angel broke out in a cold sweat after hearing it.

Because he was the mastermind behind the failure of the little witch's mission.

However, Angel thought about it and felt relieved. After all, this was just a copy, and the little witch didn't suffer any loss in reality...

"Dream." Angel said, diverting the attention of Lila and the little witch: "As for dreams, there is actually one now."

Lila: "Oh? Would you like to share? Maybe I can help you realize it~"

Angel: "I want to get a rare fashion monster puzzle."

"It's best to have a special-grade monster above the advanced level."

lira:"???"
