Morien put down his hand pressing the elevator button, followed the sound and turned around to look down.
A girl stood behind him.
She is a bit short, two heads shorter than Morien. She has twin ponytails, a one-piece red skirt, a pair of flip-flops on her feet, and bells hanging on her ankles.
The most important thing is that there is a red fox mask hanging sideways on her face.
Her black to brown-red gradient hair is styled into twin ponytails and her eyebrows are curved.
She looked up at Morien, smiled cutely, and waved hello.
There seems to be a pair of cute red beady eyes under the eyebrows----
"Hello, hello, my name is Sparkle~."
"Such small eyes."
"That's a mole on my face!"
Sparkle's eyes suddenly widened, and the pair of "pea eyes" that were originally located at the "eyes" were suddenly squeezed downward by the opened eyes, turning into two tear moles that were slightly on the inside.
"Haha, I can see it." Morien said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Morien."
Of course he could recognize the person in front of him.
Sparkle, this is Masked Fools.
The difference from Morien is that she is the real Masked Fools.
"It's all your fault, the atmosphere of my carefully prepared self-introduction suddenly disappeared." Sparkle seemed to be a little unhappy and crossed his hands.
"No way?" Morien spread his hands, "Sparkle Master, is he so inferior?"
Sparkle raised his eyebrows and smiled again.
"So you know me."
"What a pity. I originally wanted to pretend to be a cute little girl who doesn't understand the world."
"I also followed Huo Huahua's account."
Morien took out his mobile phone, clicked on his online account, turned the screen and pointed it at Sparkle.
Sparkle's face fell again.
"Really? Do you think she is me?"
Such rich expressions.
"Of course not," Morien smiled and put away the phone, "I just think it's really interesting that even Masked Fools would have a headache when facing his own children."
"Child? This is how you view the relationship between me and her." Sparkle's expression changed again, revealing a smile.
"Uh-huh." Morien hummed in response, "Actually, you think so in your heart, right?"
Sparkle shook his body noncommittally.
"That----"
"Can you share with me some of your experiences in raising children?"
"Little Chongchong~."
Sparkle said with a smile.
"You are [Propagation]'s Pathstrider, you must be very experienced."
Ah, the nickname is Xijiayi.
"Don't you know me very well?" Morien smiled and waved his hand, "You were just pretending to be the first meeting."
"This is the first time we've met." Sparkle said, "Besides, haven't you ever thought about hiding it yourself?"
This time.
Ding.
The elevator has arrived.
Morien looked back at the elevator, entered first with his suitcase, blocked the elevator door with his staff, and made a "please" gesture with his other hand.
"Want to talk while walking?" he asked with a smile.
"Okay." Sparkle walked briskly onto the elevator.
"You are really familiar with it." Morien smiled and took back his hand, letting the elevator close slowly.
"Humph, who doesn't know that Mr. Sparkle is the most passionate Masked Fools." Sparkle replied, with a slightly protracted tone.
No one else came to take this elevator with me.
The Reverie Hotel Although there are many floors, there are also many elevators.
Every pillar in the lobby of the Reverie Hotel is an elevator, and there are rows of elevators against the wall.
At a glance, there are hundreds of them.
In addition, the real Penacony is in the dream. After entering his or her room, the Reverie Hotel's visitors will almost never leave the room before checking out. As a result, the elevator can only go up and down, and they will not have to stay on a certain floor for half a day from time to time.
Therefore, Jiping does not have to worry about elevator congestion, elevator congestion, or insufficient elevators.
The elevator door slowly closed, Morien swiped Dream Passport, and among the buttons on the elevator that circled the front side wall, the buttons on the 231st floor automatically lit up.
"Which floor are you going to?" Morien asked.
"Floor 317." Sparkle found the button with his backhand and pressed it with his feet.
No need to swipe your card, just find it directly.
It seems that she has been here for more than one day.
The elevator began to rise very quickly, but the people in the elevator did not feel uncomfortable.
The number of floors on the elevator screen changes rapidly, and it can rise four or five floors in almost one second.
"Let's talk----"
"You haven't been to Tavern, right?" Sparkle turned around and looked at Morien with his head tilted.
"How did you figure this out?" Morien looked at her with the same smile, "Is it because you haven't seen me before?"
"Hmm----"
"Do you know all the Fool who have been to Tavern?"
Morien asked curiously.
He was really curious.
"Hmm."
"Guess."
Sparkle put his hands behind his back and shook his body.
"I won't guess."
Morien smiled and looked away.
"Hey, you are so boring." Sparkle said a little dissatisfied.
"But I think it's very interesting." Morien said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Ah~, so boring," Sparkle said.
"I'll take you to Tavern." She changed the topic.
"Fool is incomplete without going to Tavern."
"It's like Xianzhou native without drinking Soda Soymilk."
"Golden Hour" Which one is inside?" Morien asked looking at the elevator screen.
"Yes, yes," Sparkle nodded vigorously, "Is this your first time coming to Penacony? Dream Infiltration Wait for me at the gate after that, and I will take you to Tavern."
"You can actually see this."
"Of course~."
At this time, the elevator's ascending speed suddenly slowed down, but it still did not cause any discomfort to the people in the elevator.
Ding.
The elevator door rang.
Floor Morien arrived, and the elevator door opened to both sides.
"Okay." Morien nodded and walked off the elevator, "Then I'll wait for you.
He waved goodbye.
"Don't let me go."
"No." Sparkle still put his hands behind his back and watched the elevator door slowly close.
After leaving the elevator and passing through the bar-like lobby on each floor, Morien found his room.
To be precise, it is the room of Argenti.
He took out Dream Passport, swiped it on the door lock, and unlocked his door.
The room is quite spacious and luxuriously decorated.
Blue carpets, circular sofas, huge screens, other luxurious decorations and various vegetation from different planets.
What you can see as soon as you enter the door is the huge bathtub against the wall.
It was a bathtub that looked like an open shell. There was a liquid with the same color as Sky Manipulation inside.
"This is Dream Pool." Morien closed the door and looked at the pool.
The channel connecting dreams and the real world.
He approached "Dream Pool", and soft and sweet female voices came from around the room.
"Welcome to Penacony, distinguished guest."
There is some fragrance in the air above Dream Pool, which makes people calm down subconsciously and make them feel sleepy.
"This is----" He lowered his head and glanced at the liquid in the Dream Pool, chuckled, put down his luggage, and prepared to Dream Infiltration.
He still wore his hat, didn't take off his clothes and shoes, held the staff in his hand, stepped into the pool, and lay down sideways in the middle of Dream Pool.
The cold liquid reached his waist.
The soft female voice continued to whisper in his ear, accompanied by the sound of the evening bell.
"Please relax and feel the ups and downs of your body."
"Focus on your breathing and imagine a paradise."
"Imagine a land of dreams----"
With a slight bell, Morien's consciousness sank and he entered the dreamland.
When I opened my eyes, the slightly confused feeling disappeared, and Morien successfully appeared in the dream.
The whole process is a bit like Morien entering and exiting Synchronization Space, but the efficiency is much lower.
Morien commented, looking up and forward.
"Golden Hour".
He saw the name here on the arch in front of him.
Penacony divides time into twelve, each corresponding to a region.
This is one of the twelve dreams of Penacony, corresponding to midnight.
Here, the time in dreams always stays at the moment before zero, tomorrow will never come, and the carnival of this night will never end.
What catches the eye is an arch, behind which is a square and a cheerful-looking street. The specific feeling Morien is hard to describe. I can only describe it as "cheerful".
The streets are full of cheerful GGs, and the pedestrians on the roadside are also full of smiling faces.
There are even dancing GG cards.
Even the air is filled with a pleasant sweet smell.
Various GGs are hung on high-rise buildings, there are various decorations on the roadside, and above the head is a starry sky and a floating city looming behind the starry sky.
Among them, facing the entrance is the Grand Theater floating in the distance, which is regarded as the famous landmark building of Penacony. It looks like a top surrounded by a ring.
Behind them are other more "cities".
Those are other "moments".
Morien noticed that a person wearing a waiter's uniform was looking at him next to the arch.
It was a Mr. Halovian, with a floating ring on his head, two small wings growing out of the back of his head, and wearing a neat suit.
Not the familiar Sunday and Robin from Morien, just ordinary Halovian waiters.
People who are in the initial Dream Infiltration state tend to feel "weightless" and will fall from the sky and hit the ground when entering "Golden Hour".
In dreams, it is normal for the body and mind to be out of sync.
Some severe cases may even lead to complete paralysis of the body.
Although there is no danger, the feeling of Affliction is unavoidable.
In this regard, the Family has arranged a special "Tuner" to receive guests at the door of "Golden Hour" to conduct "Tuning" services for passengers who have just entered the dream to help them become familiar with the body in their dreams.
But Morien doesn't seem to have this problem.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was already on the ground, without experiencing the feeling of falling from the sky.
Perhaps it's because his body is constantly changing, which makes his adaptability much stronger than the average person.
He took it very well.
Taking control of his body in the dream, Morien did not feel anything like physical disharmony.
The smiling waiter glanced at Morien and saw that there was nothing unusual about him, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and waited for the next newcomer to enter Penacony, preparing to step forward and perform "Tuning" when the other party found it difficult to control his body.
"See, I didn't let you go." Sparkle's voice came from behind again.
"Why do you always like to appear behind people?" Morien turned around and found Sparkle behind him.
"I arrived a little later than you, so I must be behind you." Sparkle said matter-of-factly. "My floor is higher than yours."
"There is no such pattern in dreams."
"Then don't worry about it."
Morien chuckled and turned around, gesturing with his head to let her lead the way.
"Let's go, guide."
"Flower guide?" Sparkle repeated the title and accepted it happily.
"Sparkle-sama likes this name~!"
She skipped past Morien, her twin ponytails swaying happily behind her head.
"Follow up, keep up."
Morien didn't worry about anything and followed with the staff in hand.
The two left one after the other.
Soon, the two walked around the square and a street, walked down the stairs, and came to a block.
Morien was taken by Sparkle to Sunken Dream Shopping Street on the lower floor of the shopping mall.
Penacony's "End of the World" Tavern is located under an arch bridge. It has been well localized and integrated into the surrounding environment very well.
There are several GG pictures of SoulGlad hanging on it, and even the plaques have similar glass bottle sodas painted on them.
The only thing that can express the "End of the World" style is probably the peach, apricot and plum square door frame on the door.
The atmosphere in front of the door was very lively, with people singing and dancing, full of "Pleasure" atmosphere.
But there are no masks on them. They are probably just ordinary people who have mistakenly entered Tavern. They may not have a clear understanding of "Tavern". They think that as long as they drink here, they will be extremely happy.
In Penacony, "emotion" is a commodity.
So this situation is very common and not surprising.
There is even a "Emotion Pawnshop" opposite Tavern.
Customers can pawn their own "emotions" at the pawn shop, or buy other people's "emotions".
"Dang, dang, dang, it's right here." Sparkle made a "showing up" gesture.
"I'm actually quite curious about one thing." Morien looked at the door and touched his chin.
"Say." Sparkle tilted his head and looked up at Morien, who was two heads taller than him.
"The Family should be quite afraid of Fool, right? Why do you allow you to open a Tavern branch here?" Morien turned his head and lowered his head.
"Well." Sparkle raised the corners of his mouth.
"Because, End of the World"Tavern's gate can appear anywhere on any planet." She stretched out a finger and explained.
"Attention, it's anything." Sparkle shook his finger.
"The owner of this dreamland wanted to stop it at first, and made many attempts."
She held her chin with one hand.
"For example, cleaning up Tavern, charging high rent, or even simply blocking the door of Tavern with a wall."
"But it's useless. He blocked the door with a wall. Then the Tavern door can be opened on that wall."
"In the end he had to give up."
This is probably Dreammaster, not many people here know about him.
Morien is thoughtful.
I didn't expect Sparkle to tell me directly.
"Okay, then next--"
Sparkle walked to the door of Tavern and pushed forward.
"Welcome to the end of the world~.
