Passing through rows of tall coconut trees, Sumu saw a solid and ancient city wall in the distance. The gray stones were weathered. There were many soldiers in silver armor patrolling on the wall. The huge city gate was made of thick wood and fixed with iron bars and nails.
"Chief, the Sea Kingdom is ahead." The guard soldier leading the way said respectfully.
The other soldiers, including the two fishermen, did not react at all to his strange address, as if that was expected.
"Fuck!" Yang Dongqing exclaimed, and hurried over: "When did you hypnotize them all?"
Su Mu glanced at him and ignored him. Although these fishermen and soldiers were humans in the nightmare, they were ordinary people in essence. With his current strength, it would be easy to hypnotize these people.
He looked at the small kingdom in front of him. To call it a kingdom was an exaggeration. It was basically just a town, a town on an island.
He did not rush forward, but first sought information from the hypnotized soldiers.
"What is the population of the Sea Kingdom?"
"Hundreds of thousands." The soldier replied respectfully.
"What is your attitude towards outsiders? Are there any traps inside?" Su Mu didn't think that the people in the nightmare would be so friendly, as can be seen from both Tingting's nightmare and the ear beast's nightmare.
So his first reaction was that these soldiers were lying and were planning to lure him and Yang Dongqing in before taking action.
But the soldier's answer was somewhat unexpected.
"Foreigners are very welcome, and the king is also very friendly to them. Some capable foreigners even serve as officials in the Sea Kingdom."
Su Mu frowned slightly. Let's not talk about friendship for now. What's the matter with being an official? If the outsiders are all nightmare apostles, then they can't stay in the Sea Country for too long. Even if they can't break the dream, they will automatically wake up from the nightmare after ten days or half a month.
"What were you planning to do?"
The soldier answered honestly, "We originally planned to take you to register and then meet the king. The king will meet with all foreigners. If a foreigner is capable, he will be given an official position and a woman. If he is not capable, he will also be given a house and a woman."
"Su Mu, are you sure the hypnosis was successful? This is too exaggerated, right? Is this a nightmare? This is clearly a sweet dream! It's for women as soon as you enter the door." Yang Dongqing was a little stunned. The soldier's words almost broke his stereotype of the nightmare world.
The corners of Su Mu's mouth curled up slightly. Sometimes invisible dangers are more terrifying than obvious dangers.
"You said before that sea stones can drive away the undead sirens. What are sea stones?"
"Sea stone is a stone blessed by the king. It has the power to drive away sirens." The soldier said, and took out a white pebble from his armor.
Su Mu took the pebble and looked at it carefully. A crystal blue light emanated from behind his brown glasses, and invisible mental power poured into it. After a moment, he withdrew his mental power and frowned slightly.
He did not find anything strange on the sea stone. His mental perception told him that it was just an ordinary stone.
Is it because the power level is too high, so it cannot be seen through?
With this idea in mind, Su Mu directly opened the Eye of God between his eyebrows to look, and the answer was still the same, it was just an ordinary stone.
Things are getting more and more interesting, the enthusiastic king, the ordinary stone that can drive away the sirens.
"Let's go." He walked towards the city gate of the Sea Kingdom.
When he entered the city gate, what he saw were narrow, winding streets paved with cobblestones, with wooden houses on both sides of the streets and pointed roofs covered with tiles.
Many dark-skinned pedestrians were walking on the street, some were talking loudly, and some were stopping in front of the stalls to bargain with the vendors.
The atmosphere is very peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, making this island seem like an isolated paradise.
Yang Dongqing felt a chill for no reason. He looked at the pedestrians around him warily and whispered, "I feel like there's something wrong with them. This is a nightmare world, how come there are so many living people? I've read similar horror stories, which say that in a seemingly peaceful town, there is actually no living person, and they are all ghosts in disguise!"
Su Mu shook his head: "No, they are indeed alive."
He had already used his mental power to investigate and found that these people were indeed living people with flesh and blood.
"No one stipulates that there can't be living people in the nightmare world. It's not strange for people to have any kind of dreams. When the dream becomes reality, the people in the dream will naturally become living people."
"Could this be an isolated island, and the nightmare monsters are the undead sirens in the sea? Can we return to reality just by killing those sirens?" Yang Dongqing said with excitement. If everything was as he expected, it would be too simple.
Although he couldn't kill the sirens, Su Mu could. He just needed to stand on the shore to lure the sirens up, and then kill them little by little, and he would eventually kill them all.
With this thought in mind, Yang Dongqing began to reason confidently: "I have roughly guessed the theme of this dream. This is most likely a child's dream, because everything is very similar to a fairy tale. There are kind fishermen living on an isolated island. They make a living by fishing, but the evil sea monsters in the sea often attack the fishermen. In the end, the fishermen defeated the sea monsters under the leadership of the warriors.
Or maybe it was a fisherman’s dream. He went out to sea to fish every day and grew up listening to stories about sirens, so he had a nightmare.”
"Well, your reasoning is good. Don't make such a mistake next time." Su Mu said lightly.
He ignored Yang Dongqing's dissatisfaction and looked around the town carefully. He found three interesting things. First, people here were dressed very revealingly, especially women, who only covered their key parts before going out on the streets.
Second, there are no old people here, at least he doesn’t see any old people now, not even those who are a little older.
The third is the era. This should not be a modern dream because there are no modern facilities on the streets.
The arrival of Su Mu and his companion attracted the attention of passers-by on the road. They looked at the two strangers with either curiosity or vigilance, and looked at them carefully.
Soon, under the guidance of the soldiers, the two went to a place similar to an administrative hall and completed the registration of basic information. At this time, a neatly dressed man with a mustache came over. He claimed to be the governor of the Sea Kingdom.
"You two guests, His Majesty the King invites you."
Yang Dongqing was slightly stunned. The soldier leading the way had already been hypnotized by Su Mu and had not informed the king at all. How come the king knew about it just after the registration?
Su Mu smiled politely: "I also want to meet His Majesty the King of the Sea Kingdom."
The consul smiled and nodded, then took the two of them into the carriage and headed straight for the king's castle.
