Chapter 1055: Midnight Bells
"Who?!" Zhang Fan shouted suddenly, he just felt that there seemed to be some movement behind him, and when he turned around, he seemed to see a white shadow flashing away in the corridor where he came in, so he immediately turned around and chased after him.
Akon wondered in his heart, if this was just Greenwing's mistake, it would be okay. Even two 15 times the average person's perception of the spiritual ability will be wrong, this probability is too small! Something must be ......
The speed of the three of them was extremely fast, pulling out three afterimages and rushing to the corridor! But it's still empty!
Akon suddenly shouted: "Let's not be fooled, let's go to the bell tower first!" Then he ran upstairs first, and then suddenly he saw a white shadow drifting overboard the ship, and in an instant he was far away on the castle wall. Akon sneered, didn't pay attention to it, and didn't tell Zhang Fan Luyi, just covered his head and rushed to the bell tower. He had a vague feeling in his heart that there was a mystery he wanted to solve......
Zhang Fan Luyi heard Akon say this, and was no longer distracted by the mysterious white shadow, and followed Akon to the top of the building. They knew in their hearts that Akon must have discovered something to make him so determined to go to a place!
This bell tower is not a large bronze bell that is struck, but a mechanical bell made of a combination of many gear clockwork levers! The trio went up to the top of the bell tower and looked out through a circular window......
"What did you find?" Greenwing asked.
Akon took the two Graveyard Knight's weapons from the clergyman's bag and asked, "What do you remember?" โ
Zhang Fan Luyi was silent, they couldn't figure out what was special about these two weapons, although they looked more beautifully made, a little less like weapons......
"Wait, it's not like a weapon...... Zhang Fan's heart lit up, "This is ...... Clock Tower ......"
Green Wing was still at a loss, and she was still studying to herself about what kind of weapon it was, and it would be like this. You must know that the three of them have seen almost all the weapons of the Cold Weapon Era in the historical scene of the ring-bearer Shijie. Therefore, even if it is a little more out-of-the-way, it will have an impression. But Greenwing couldn't seem to imagine what else these two sword-like weapons would be......
Akon smiled and said to Zhang Fan: "Since you recognize it, then help and put it on together...... After speaking, he threw the slender spear to Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan smiled, and the two climbed out of the window, and there was a platform outside, although it was not wide, it was enough for the two of them to stand. The platform is facing the face of the big clock. However, two hands are missing from this clock! These two weapons turned out to be the two hands on this Big Ben!
This desolate and gloomy shijie seems to have no wind, standing on the platform, and does not feel the feeling of being blown by the wind caused by height. The two hands are easy to install because of the rings on the shank, which mesh with each other. However, after the two pointers were installed, nothing suspicious happened, Zhang Fanzheng wondered, and the green wing also came out of the bell tower.
"It's the hands of the clock!" Greenwing exclaimed, "But how did you install an eight-o'clock?" It's so late in here, it's not right to think about it. โ
Akon Zhang Fan was stunned, and understood in his heart, Akon smiled and asked, "Then what time do you say it should be?" โ
"Such an eerie place, it must be 12 o'clock in the night......" Greenwing pointed to the full moon in the sky.
"Good! It's 12 o'clock! Akon agreed, and immediately merged the hands with Zhang Fan onto the Roman numerals representing 12 o'clock.
"Whenโ" A miracle happened! A black gas suddenly came out of the clock face, and the bell rang! The black gas spread, and the Big Ben, which seemed to be broken and corroded, immediately took on a new look!
"Whenโ" The bell continued to ring, and the stones on the road in the distance flew up, combining into a complete gargoyle, and then the gargoyles flew to the eaves of the castle!
"When-" The stone statues at the gate of the corridor also returned to the form of standing on the guard, which were two statues of ancient Roman angels, with a compassionate expression. Immediately afterwards, the cemetery was also noisy, and the crooked tombstones were erected, and the corpses actually crawled into the tomb by themselves. The barren vines and weeds seem to be combed clean, and there is a quiet and solemn atmosphere.
"Whenโ" As you can imagine, the entire interior of the castle must be completely new by now. As the three of them stood on the platform, they could see the castle lit up, and the noisy noise of the guests, and the sound of the music, the laughter of the lady, the news of the servants, the barking of the dogs, etc., were heard......
Twelve bells rang in a row, and it seemed that the Gothic castle had also been rejuvenated, from a ghost castle to a romantic and atmospheric atmosphere. It's just that it's not yet dawn......
The trio left the platform and decided to go inside the castle again to see what was going on. When Zhang Fan Luyi burrowed into the bell tower, Akon glanced back at the dead woods, which seemed to be the only place that had not returned to normal......
In the castle, although it has been renovated, there is no figure in it. It's just that the endless boiling voices seem to be right next to him. There seems to be some invisible barrier that separates Zhang Fan and the three of them.
"What the hell?!" Akon snorted coldly, "Just this little trick is also here to confuse your uncle!" "All three of them have experienced various illusions in the scene, so they are not afraid of such scenes. This is the strength of the spiritual ability cultivated by the precept bearer, Shijie, and it is manifested in such moments!
However, as the three of them walked through the castle, the source of those sounds seemed to slowly become apparent. At first, it was just a few vague transparent figures, walking around. By the time the three of them came to the hall, they had already seen those reveling European aristocrats, dancing and chatting in front of them......
From time to time, some nobles raised their glasses to the three of them, and even some noble ladies threw flattering glances at Zhang Fan Aken. Green Wing also has a very personable gentleman, who came forward to invite the dance. This kind of scene is not unfamiliar to everyone, in the twenty years of aristocratic career in the Caribbean scene, the three of them have participated in many high-class balls of higher standards than this, so the noise of these ordinary nobles was quickly ignored by the three of them.
Akon suddenly stopped a neatly dressed servant and ordered him, "Take us to see the master's cellar, it's too noisy......
"The Earl's cellar is never open to outsiders, if you need anything, just tell ......" the servant refused with trepidation, and hurriedly took the silver platter, and left the three of them.
"Count?" Akon sneered, "It's funny, what kind of earl is he?" It seems that we still have some mystery to solve, otherwise we will meet this so-called Earl......"
Zhang Fan smiled: "Agreed!" "He has been a full-fledged Duke of the Caribbean in the Caribbean scene for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the etiquette of these classical nobles, and even the Queen of England has seen it, so such a party can be said to be a small scene.
"Agreed!" Green Wing also smiled: "I haven't been to this kind of dance party for a long time......"
Although the three of them were not dressed in aristocratic clothes, once they entered the role, their bearing was immediately revealed. Zhang Fan stretched out his hand very gentlemanly and made a gesture to invite dance. Green Wing smiled and pulled her skirt back. The two of them then swirled onto the dance floor in the center of the hall in standard dance to the music. In order to meet the honored host, the guests must have manners that will attract the host's attention, or they will be ignored by this vain gathering......
Akon also has a smirk characteristic of the aristocracy, inviting a petite aristocratic lady to dance. This aristocratic lady was relatively short for Europeans, so it was difficult to have a dance partner, but it was just right for Acum. The two also danced to the music. For dance, Aken, who has no artistic cells, is a layman. But for the alchemist who is good at calculation, this kind of aristocratic ballroom dance, which has no artistic content, is completely mechanical and regular, and can be learned with a little attention. Akon practiced a lot in the scene in order to attend the ball.
Soon, the trio was standard and distinctly aristocratic with the nobility of the sixteenth century high society, which surprised the nobles of the audience. Their flawless performance, as if they regularly attend balls at the royal court, is amazing! Even the most demanding court etiquette minister of the British royal family is impeccable for the performance of the three people!
The nobles with such etiquette have a certain status, and the three of them immediately attracted the attention of the host of the party! Akon's proposal is the second mystery that solves this illusion.
When the three of them were half-time, a delicate servant with a wig and a gorgeous dress came over and said respectfully, "Our Lord Earl, I want to meet the three of you." I wonder if the three of them can deign to move ......"
Akon smiled, "The owner of this illusion is really an aristocratic fan!" โ
Zhang Fan also felt interesting, so he bowed slightly, "This is our honor......
The Count was a slightly chubby middle-aged man with two well-groomed beards. The slightly raised chin shows a kind of superior arrogance, but there is always a false humble smile on the corner of the mouth.
"I'm a generous and hospitable person, but I don't seem to remember inviting you." The Count seemed a little wary.
Zhang Fan smiled: "We admire your generosity, so we took the liberty to come uninvited." โ
"So, what do you think of my prom?" The earl is very fond of Zhang Fan's sycophants.
"Decently luxurious, but a little less interesting. But isn't that a common problem at all high proms? Zhang Fan was familiar with this kind of communication, and responded with a haha.
The Earl's smiling face stiffened slightly, "Oh, I'd like to hear any interesting advice from Your Excellency......"
Zhang Fan spread his hands and sighed: "Originally, we still have two friends today, and they are indeed very interesting people. It's a pity they're lost, otherwise it would have made your prom really fun if they were. โ
