The castle is located in the center of the Sea Kingdom and is also the highest point on the island. It is built of gray stones and has towering walls. It looks simple and elegant, not as gorgeous as the castles in fairy tales.
When the carriage arrived at the castle gate, the heavy wooden door was slowly opened by the people inside, making a dull sound.
When you enter the castle, the first thing that catches your eye is the spacious courtyard with a clean and tidy stone-paved floor and a mermaid-shaped fountain in the middle.
Yang Dongqing kept looking at the scenery inside the castle with a vigilant expression, guarding against every bush or rockery, for fear that a monster would suddenly jump out.
He had been through several nightmare worlds and had never seen one so safe.
Soon, the two men got off the carriage and entered the castle hall under the guidance of the consul, where they met the so-called king.
The king is a middle-aged man. His skin is not as dark as other people, but very fair. His angular face has a unique temperament accumulated over the years. There is a warm smile on the corners of his mouth. He does not look like a king at all, but rather like an uncle next door.
However, Sumu and the other man did not focus their attention on the king, but kept looking at the seven people sitting on the seats on both sides of the hall.
The attire of these seven people was completely different from that of the citizens of the Sea Kingdom. Some were dressed in suits, some in sportswear, and some in short skirts.
It is obvious that these seven people are Nightmare Apostles!
The eyes of the seven nightmare apostles were also focused on Su Mu and the other two, but their eyes were strange, filled with anxiety, panic, and even despair.
But that's not entirely true. Two of the seven people looked like they were in a state of despair, leaning on their chairs with lifeless eyes. Behind each of them stood a pretty maid who was massaging their shoulders.
"Hello, Mr. Su, Mr. Yang. I am the king of the Sea Kingdom. Of course, as a modern man, you can also call me by my name, Hu Jie." The king smiled friendly.
Yang Dongqing was stunned and blurted out: "You are from reality too!?"
King Hu Jie said bluntly: "Yes, I am also from the real world. I am from the Longyuan Empire. I wonder which country among the seven empires you two are from?"
"Longyuan Empire?" Yang Dongqing was shocked. Even though he was a poor student, he knew some basic common sense. The real world was ruled by seven empires, and the most recognized strongest country among them was the Longyuan Empire.
"The Red Flame Empire." Su Mu said with a smile.
"Oh? The Red Flame Empire? That's a coincidence. Among the Nightmare Apostles who came in this time, it seems that Miss Mu Qing is also from the Red Flame Empire." Hu Jie looked at the only girl in a short skirt among the seven Nightmare Apostles.
The girl in the short skirt frowned her delicate eyebrows, as if she had something on her mind. She had no intention of speaking and just nodded politely.
Yang Dongqing looked at Mu Qing curiously, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. Although Mu Qing's expression was cold, it did not affect her appearance at all.
Her face is small and delicate, with fair skin, as if it is only the size of a palm, like a white porcelain doll. Her long straight black hair is cut into a princess style, and she wears a red JK plaid skirt. With a height of less than 1.6 meters, she looks like a girl from a comic book.
Yang Dongqing couldn't help but take a few more glances and thought about buying a JK suit for Jasmine when he got back.
"I know you two must be confused now, but don't worry, the dinner will start soon, let's eat and talk at the same time."
Soon, the servants in the castle began to bring plates of dishes, filling the long dining table. It seemed that there was a wide variety of dishes, but if you looked closely, you would find that they were basically seafood such as fish and shrimp, or wild vegetables and potatoes.
After everyone was seated, the king began to speak slowly.
“You two don’t have to be too reserved. I know it sounds unbelievable, but in fact, this dream island is not as scary as you imagine. It is different from the nightmares you have experienced before. It is safe on the island. There are no nightmare monsters. The only threat comes from the sea.
You can even live here in peace and security.”
Su Mu took a sip of the unique coconut wine of the Sea Country and asked, "Mr. Hu, as far as I know, nightmare apostles cannot survive in the nightmare world for a long time. Even if they cannot break the current nightmare, they will automatically wake up and return to the real world when the time comes. I wonder what you mean by a stable life?"
Hu Jie smiled slightly and was about to explain, but was interrupted by an excited Nightmare Apostle.
"What does he mean? He means that we can't go back! None of us can go back to the real world and can only live on this damn island forever!" The speaker was a young man in sportswear, his fists clenched and his face grim.
"What did you say!?" Yang Dongqing stood up from his seat: "What do you mean by you can't go back!?"
He was anxious because he wanted to go back more than anyone else, and Jasmine was still waiting for him.
The young man in sportswear said with a grim expression: "If you can't go back, you can't go back. Ask him."
He pointed at the king, then stopped talking, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all. One glass was not enough, so he poured himself another glass, as if he wanted to drown his sorrows in wine.
Yang Dongqing looked at the king with some difficulty accepting it: "Mr. Hu, what does it mean that you can't go back?"
"Hey." Hu Jie sighed, "Mr. Yang, I know it's hard for you to accept. It's hard for every nightmare apostle who comes here to accept it, but this is the fact. This nightmare is not an ordinary nightmare we have experienced in the past. It has been invaded by the power of the sea god."
"What does it mean to be invaded by the power of the sea god? What does this have to do with not being able to return to reality?" Yang Dongqing became more and more anxious, he had to go back!
