The young man wearing a black suit who appeared in the dreams of countless children in the downtown area was standing in front of everyone at this moment.
His appearance was somewhat beyond Sean's expectation.
It's not that Peter Pan has a peerless appearance or looks like a monster, quite the opposite -
He looks too ordinary.
It's so ordinary that it seems to be seen everywhere on Newland's campus.
The only thing that makes him different is perhaps the rare high-end suit. The silk black tie is stained by the soft light of the chandelier.
There is a lazy smile on the face of the owner of the park, which is exactly the same as the golden statue - the grand prize of the opening day has been moved into the room and erected on a stage behind the owner.
"Welcome to my castle." The young man said with a slightly hoarse voice. He took a step forward, and the shadow cast by the chandelier also took a step, which made Moonlight lean back involuntarily -
Although the true master has restrained his power, even his shadow is frightening.
"Everyone, you must be tired and hungry all the way from the market area to here...
"Before the final game begins, I set up a banquet for everyone."
After speaking, he pointed behind him.
Something strange happened. The space seemed to suddenly extend in the direction he was pointing - or in other words, they collectively moved towards the entrance. In short, when Peter Pan made this move, he was no longer standing near the door, but quite far away from the door. In this distance of more than 20 meters, there was an extra white tablecloth that had been laid out. and a long table with silver candlesticks.
As the owner of the park walked towards the top position, the servants of the castle operated like precision machinery and brought out dazzling and exquisite food from the back kitchen.
"Please take your seats according to the name tags." The butler in a dark red dress stood behind the seats.
The explorers looked for their seats with a wary look.
"Name tag?" Sean frowned nervously, "Does the owner of the paradise already know our real names?"
However, this concern dissipated after seeing the seat card.
As if to be some kind of irony, what is written on those name tags seems to be what all the explorers did in the paradise, plus their apparent identities.
For example, there is a famous brand that reads: "The pianist who reversed the booing"
There is no doubt that among all the explorers present, only Moonlight 1902 fits this name.
"Overzealous Dancer Man" - If this wasn't a satire on Sean's righteous deeds on the Ferris Wheel of Good Luck, no one would believe it.
"The coughing old church man."
Father Taylor shook his head and sat in his seat.
"Lady Dancer Holding an Umbrella on a Sunny Day".
Olivia Wind Chime obediently sat next to Sean.
"The Burning Mask of Desolation".
This vicious joke did not anger Max, and the remnant sat down quietly. Moonlight has been secretly observing Max, and he found that this strange man was unusually quiet after entering the castle area.
There is no doubt that these nameplates reveal a message - Peter Pan can observe everything that happens in the park.
Therefore, he not only saw how his shadow killed two of Max's teammates, but also saw the guards of the Kingdom of God conduct a "trial" on his shadow.
But he didn't care, he just sat lazily in the luxurious chair at the top with an exaggeratedly high back.
The back of the chair extends to the top of the air, engraved with the letter "P" in a floral style - this symbol can be seen everywhere in the park, symbolizing Peter Pan's surname.
When everyone was seated, the puppets, which were operating with precision, had put all the food on the table.
"Long speeches are not my style. Besides, you have all listened to my words - everything in Midnight Paradise is my expression..." Peter Pan sat up straight, raised the wine glass in his hand, and The wine in the glass sloshed, reflecting the color like a liquid gem. "At this moment, I just wish you all can have a pleasant night like me..."
Almost all the explorers in the valley raised their bottles of water. Only Max, the remnant soldier, raised the strong drink without hesitation and drank it down in one gulp.
During this process, most of the explorers were observing and thinking about everything, and Sean also keenly discovered some unnatural places...
First, there's seating.
Sitting at the top is Peter Pan, and on his right and left are Gray Dollins and Michael Dollins.
Then came the three members of the "Board Directors" team.
Afterwards, sitting in order from near to far from Peter Pan were the King-class team, the Three-tone Nighthawk team, and the Sean and Max teams.
Sitting stiffly at the end were the duo of Deadwood Sages.
Sean and Moonlight have been communicating through the Explorer playing cards - a slight tremor may have occurred in the pockets of everyone present (except the other two in Sean's group).
"So, what does this sequence mean?" Moonlight expressed doubts about Sean's straightforward observation.
"This is," Sean took a sip of water, "arranged in order of promotion."
Yueguang thought of the three carriages before their arrival, as well as the belated arrival of the Deadwood Sage duo, and suddenly understood.
The sooner you arrive at the castle area, the closer you will sit to Peter Pan.
"What's the point of arranging it like this...?" Yueguang just asked, and suddenly found a clue.
food.
As a foodie, he discovered this very unnatural place faster than many people here.
As the owner of Midnight Paradise, Peter Pan entertains his guests with delicacies——
Black truffle with grilled veal fillet, foie gras and pine mushroom roll, black caviar with crepes, cheese baked lobster, roast lamb, shellfish and oyster platter, roast turkey, assorted sausages, three-color pudding... and more
What makes Yueguang very concerned is that the placement of food is obviously based on seating arrangements——
The closer you are to Peter Pan, the more expensive the food in front of you is.
Black truffles, foie gras, caviar and other delicacies were piled in front of Peter Pan and others.
The preciousness of food gradually decreases as it extends outward.
What was in front of Sean was roasted turkey and sausages; what was in front of the Deadwood Sage and the Tacheng apprentices was just pudding, salad and spaghetti with meat sauce...
The two masters and apprentices sitting at the end of the seats obviously noticed this, and they looked at each other awkwardly.
Moonlight·1902 was suddenly a little angry - he didn't think this was a decent way to treat guests.
"A child is indeed a child..." The pianist gritted his teeth bitterly - he really couldn't imagine how to get up to get the black truffle veal and the foie gras and pine mushroom rolls he wanted to eat the most!
Then, the other explorers seemed to notice the food arrangement on the table, and everyone fell into deep thought.
Peter Pan, who made such a move and was surrounded by all kinds of delicacies and blocked by an exquisite little silver tower with foie gras and matsutake rolls, didn't care and didn't seem to want to explain.
"moonlight……"
"moonlight!"
The angry pianist finally realized that the captain was calling him.
He turned his head and looked into Sean's eyes.
The New Testament reporter was able to use his sight to guide the moonlight upward...
