At this moment, in the castle area, in front of the fountain.
Gray Dolins, who had a mysterious smile on his face, glanced across Sean's group and stopped on the face of Fagal Taylor.
Moonlight dared to swear to God that he clearly saw the girl in front of him who had not grown up in ten years. The slightly evil eyes showed a little bit of evil when he saw Father Taylor's face...
confuse.
Yes, confusion.
For a moment, Moonlight 1902 thought that the girl who had disappeared for ten years recognized the protector of the orphanage.
However, that confused expression passed away in a flash, as if the last quarter moon that accidentally appeared that year was obscured by dark clouds in an instant.
Gray Dolins still didn't recognize Fagal Tello.
Sean Dickinson turned his head and looked at the old priest worriedly.
There was some sadness and helplessness in the old priest's eyes. However, he just shook his head.
Originally, he came to "Midnight Paradise" just to investigate the reasons for the disappearance of the three siblings. Fagal Taylor did not expect to see them again.
Unexpectedly, they still stood in front of him with the same appearance as ten years ago.
As calm as Taylor was, it took him a long time to regain his true self.
After calming down, Father Taylor decided to remain calm——
He knew that revealing his identity would mean the failure of his entire plan.
Therefore, he would not step forward excitedly and call their names.
Until he actually finds a way to rescue the three siblings, he will keep a low profile and act as an uninformed person.
"Welcome to—" Gray led the two younger brothers, and their voices merged in sync, "Peter Pan's Castle!"
"We are the family of the owner of the castle. On behalf of him who is waiting, we would like to extend our sincere greetings to all the distinguished guests who are here."
The word "family" stung the old exorcist. Fagal Taylor was hunched over and coughing into his clenched fists. No one could see his eyes and expression.
At this moment, the Deadwood Sage and the Tacheng apprentices who arrived later had also climbed all the steps and came to the fountain.
In the distance, on the central axis tower of the castle, a huge clock was illuminated by lights. The hour hand moved hard and finally overlapped with the hour hand pointing towards the sky.
The bells rang together with the sound of fireworks.
The three siblings turned around excitedly and looked at the gorgeous night sky.
Among the faces illuminated by the fireworks, only one wearing a fedora turned back.
Sean, he saw the Ferris wheel sticking out from the foot of the mountain, and the market area that was now surrounded by a ring, shining like a gorgeous gold necklace...
The ringing of the midnight clock and the setting off of the final fireworks seemed to ignite people's excitement - people's cheers could be heard in the distance.
And closer, in the dark forest, he saw a few stars - the addicts, holding their candles, staring in the direction of the castle, singing that speechless song.
Fireworks bursting, distant cheers, and faint singing, these sounds converged in Sean's ears.
He suddenly felt something different - as if abstract things like time and journey were condensed into a concrete feeling at this moment.
Every "now" is a collection of past and future time and space and cannot be replaced.
This sudden feeling of being illuminated made the tree-shaped symbol of the "Shengen Space" light up slightly for a while.
The edges of Sean's soul quietly spread and expanded...
The short-lived fireworks ended, followed by the children's chorus behind them, and in the distance, people seemed to have stopped boiling.
The three siblings in black clothes turned around and faced Sean's group again.
"The clock rang at twelve o'clock, and the gate to the castle area closed...
"Congratulations to everyone for becoming the last three teams to advance to the Castle District today."
Amid the applause of the crowd, the master-disciple pair stood up straight.
"As promised by the owner of the park, the teams promoted to the castle area are eligible to compete for the ultimate prize on the opening day..."
The third sister and brother smiled and half turned around, making a show-off gesture toward the top of the fountain...
The light in the center of the fountain, which had not been turned on, suddenly lit up, illuminating a golden statue -
Before that, Moonlight thought it was just an ordinary gold-plated statue.
Light flows on the golden curved surface. The cast statue of Peter Pan made of pure gold, wearing a well-fitting suit, with slightly open hands, seems to be inviting people to enter this paradise that opens at midnight...
The 55-pound gold statue, worth NZ$22,000, reflects a unique and charming color when illuminated by the fountain lights.
Father Taylor even noticed that the Deadwood Sage and the Tacheng apprentices beside him suddenly stood up straight——
Only then did he realize that money in the ordinary world turned out to be more attractive to explorers.
If their goal of saving money was not for secular life, then such a huge sum of money would be enough to change their career as explorers——
This number is consistent with the lowest transaction price ever seen in the extremely rare A-grade mysterious heritage transaction records.
Not to mention, it can almost support three rounds of expensive spiritual rituals...
Ironically, people who are mysteriously detached from the ordinary world, but because of the current rules and the hope for power and promotion...
I am bound even more tightly by the products of this world.
Nowadays, it may not be easy to find explorers with pure motives.
The grand prize in front of him made Sean think of his "very expensive" plans.
Moonlight, who is quite innocent, has already been confused by the color reflected by the golden statue. The smile on his face seemed to remind him that he seemed to think of some unrealistic scenarios...
Father Taylor still lowered his head and coughed lightly.
Although Olivia stared at the golden thing, there was no desire in her red eyes, she just looked at it calmly.
Regarding what had just happened, Max, who was standing on the edge, made almost no reaction or sound, just letting the remaining fire on his mask burn quietly.
"Next, you will meet the owner of the castle, Mr. Peter Pan, at the welcome dinner." Gray Dollins promptly removed everyone's attention from the golden statue, "After attending the dinner Before, you had to go to the Chinese Clothing Hall to choose your own dress..."
Two puppets wearing crimson "butler" uniforms led Sean and another team towards the castle.
On the way to the castle, Sean observed that there were still bright red eyes watching in the darkness on the roadside.
With masks stained with blood, the explorers who were forced to serve here in a state of dead bodies seemed to have degenerated into some kind of beasts, with only the instincts of destruction and fighting left.
After entering the castle, follow the butler puppet to the corridor on the right until you reach a hall filled with all kinds of costumes.
"You have fifteen minutes." The puppet closed the door as he left.
"These clothes..." Although she was obviously interested in these dresses, Yueguang was still cautious, "Is there no problem?"
Compared to Moonlight, Sean only acted without saying anything - his spiritual essence swept away like hair, and no curses or forbidden spells were found on the clothes: "It's just ordinary clothes."
Moonlight shrugged and stepped forward to pick out clothes - obviously taking the initiative to serve as the team's image consultant.
…
Thirteen minutes later, Team Sean stood in front of a huge mirror wall.
Looking at everyone in the mirror, Sean had to admit that Yue Guang was more than a step ahead of him in terms of outfit.
Fagal Taylor in the mirror looked a little reserved. Outside the black stand-up collar shirt, there is a black coat of extraordinary workmanship, lined with a white silk scarf, and the diamond-shaped rosary wrapped in his hand still indicate his identity as a clergyman.
Max, who had remained silent, also silently changed into his clothes. It was a stiff black suit jacket with dark red embroidery. The color of the jacket embroidery and tie actually echoed his burning mask.
For the first time, Yueguang chose an all-black shirt and suit, with only a satin-finished pearlescent white tie that was as eye-catching as the silver moon in the night sky.
Perhaps the "grey wolf" intention gave the pianist his creativity. Sean's color scheme is dark gray, and his straight shoulders and chest fully support this dark gray woolen suit. In order to "show respect", Xiao En took off his fedora and combed his black hair back, which somehow gave him a powerful and dangerous aura...
When Olivia Wind Chime walked out, all the men present could not help but sigh softly.
Even Max, the "remnant soldier" who seemed uninterested in everything around him, turned his eyes away and watched quietly.
The exquisitely crafted girl with a slender waist and graceful curves walked out from behind the dark red curtain wearing a black low-cut dress.
The skin of alchemical materials has a color that makes people linger. The scarab brooch is embellished on the black lapel and reflects the green halo. The golden earrings echo the pale gold in the ruby eyes.
The lower half of the skirt is like a bud. Considering Olivia's dynamic, Moonlight did not choose a long skirt that is common in women's dresses, but a short skirt that exposed a pair of slender legs.
Holding a green leather handbag in one hand, Sean was surprised to find that the Seiko girl who used to have a shy demeanor turned out to be bright and indifferent tonight.
"Next...it's Peter Pan's dinner party."
Sean turned around and looked at Moonlight and Father Taylor in turn, and finally his eyes fell on Max, who had been silent but seemed to be brewing something.
He took a deep breath, bent his arms to invite, let the only lady present hold his arm, and walked out of the Chinese Costume Hall first.
