Came to Paradise Island again, still the familiar scenery, Ethan returned to the wooden house where he had lived for half a year.
He did not rush to see Hippolyte and Diana. He knew that someone would inform the Amazon queen of his appearance, so he wandered around leisurely and watched the changes in the place where he once lived.
"It doesn't seem to have changed too much. Is it because time has passed not long ago?"
smoothly touched the tabletop. There was no dust on it. I could see that people often came here to clean it. I wonder if it was someone specially sent by Hippolyte or the little girl of Diana?
"It shouldn't be Diana."
That girl is still in the stage of a bear child. Even if she grows up, she is careless for quite some time. She has lived in human society for decades before she becomes a dignified Wonder Woman.
Diana in his youth should not be able to do such careful and trivial things...unless...
"Unless decades have passed."
Ethan previously estimated that the next time he came here, the longest might be fifty years, because at that time his connection with the world was not stable, and the flow of time was hugely different.
Later, as his control of space-time energy continued to improve, he thought this situation would improve, but now it seems that everything is still unknown.
Coming out of the wooden house, Ethan felt someone approaching. He thought it was Hippolyte who rushed over after receiving the notice. He still sighed that Hippolyte's movements were so fast. Could it be that what happened?
Unexpectedly, the girl who appeared in front of him was a girl about fourteen years old. The appearance of this girl... Ethan is not very easy to describe. Although it is quite different from the future Wonder Woman, it is because of the increase in mental power that makes his memory. He got stronger and stronger, and the blurry picture was easily remembered by him, so he recognized that this was Diana in the teenage years.
"Diana?"
"Ethan?"
The two people opened their mouths almost at the same time, allowing the other to confirm the identity of the other. Ethan knew that this was Diana in the teenage years, but the other party's changes were so huge that he recognized it at once that seemed a bit abnormal, so he deliberately asked.
Diana will ask, one is because her impression of Ethan is somewhat blurred over the past few years. In addition, Ethan’s growth and changes during this period are quite obvious. The immaturity on her face has faded, and her appearance is slightly different from before. Diana even thinks it may be her own illusion. Ethan seems to have changed more than before. It's pleasing to the eye a lot, so she's not sure.
As soon as she confirmed her identity, Diana immediately showed her enthusiasm and rushed up to give Ethan a big hug.
"I thought you wouldn't be back so soon."
I don’t know how Hippolyte talked to Diana. Looking at her reaction, she knew she would come back. Ethan had to explain: "I don’t know if you don’t know. When will I come here? Great control."
"I heard... I have to say that your strength is much worse than I thought." Diana just gave a simple hug, and there was nothing to bury her head in pain and yell that you want to die, why did you come here? Yes, after standing in front of Ethan again, he gave a fist easily, and Ethan's chest hurt: "But it seems to have become a little stronger."
Ethan’s face was full of black lines, especially when I heard something "I didn’t dare to discuss with you when I saw you were too thin, for fear that I would accidentally hurt you." The mystery and the bad impression of being weak.
"Where is Arthur?"
Diana thought that Arthur would also come back together, but after standing here for a long time without seeing Arthur appear, she finally couldn't help but ask.
Compared with Ethan, who had less communication at the beginning, Arthur impressed her even more: the two people were closer in age and contacted more frequently. Diana also learned very orthodox swordsmanship, shield use, and unarmed hands from Arthur. The basis of fighting.
She still remembered that when she met Arthur again, she would compete with him so that he could see her progress over the years.
"Arthur went back to inherit the throne."
briefly talked about Arthur's situation, Diana did not continue to pester Arthur's problem. In her eyes, it was only natural for Arthur to fulfill her responsibilities, but it was a pity that she couldn't continue to discuss with Arthur.
"What is his country like?"
"Actually, I haven't seen it either. Maybe I will take a good turn and see what Arthur's country is like."
When he can freely control the shuttle magic, he will definitely go to Arthur's country to see what kind of ending the world will be led by a completely different King Arthur.
Of course, he would not allow the ending in the ‘Original’ to be staged again, no matter for any consideration, because he regarded Arthur as his friend, he could not sit back and watch his friend encounter trouble without intervening.
The two people sat down on the wooden benches outside the house and talked about whatever they thought of. The conversation was unexpectedly hot. At this time, Ethan gradually understood the meaning of what Arthur said to himself.
It's not that Diana doesn't want to communicate with you, but she's just afraid to disturb you. In fact, you can build a good relationship with her if you want.
There are almost no children on the Paradise Island. Diana really has no friends. The only friend is Arthur. As a result, she has not come this time.
Ethan barely counts, at least he can find common topics and have a happy chat together.
Diana is curious about many things. She has read a lot of things in the book and learned countless knowledge, but she has never seen the real thing, and she doesn't know how to apply this knowledge to make correct judgments, and she has never left Paradise Island. I have seen the outside world.
Ethan not only has all kinds of messy knowledge in his mind, but also has a wealth of travel experiences. You only need to talk about his original adventures and Diana can listen with gusto, and then ask some tricky questions from time to time.
"How long can you stay on Paradise Island this time?"
After chatting for a while, Diana finally got a slightly comprehensive understanding of Ethan, and also knew that the reason why he could not stay in a world for too long was because staying in a world would continuously consume some of the energy he collected. This energy consumption Before he is exhausted, he will be sent away. If he wants to travel to other planes or come to the paradise island to see himself, he needs to find this kind of energy again.
"It should be longer than last time."
If you only look at energy, it's almost the same as when I visited Paradise Island last time. But now Ethan’s mastery of space-time energy is not comparable to that at the time. No matter the wear and tear of the shuttle and the normal consumption, it has been reduced to a new level. If you work hard at this speed, you can easily stay in a world. For more than a year.
But he has a peculiar hunch that when he stays for more than a year, he will encounter a problem, and it will be difficult to continue to improve.
This feeling is inexplicable, as if he knew it would be like this. Ethan guessed that this was a reminder from the mysterious magic circle.
"That's great, the stay time is so long, can you teach me some magic?"
"Magic?"
Ethan was puzzled, in the impression that Diana had never been interested in magic? Whether in movies or comics, this is a firm melee faction. He doesn't even use long-range weapons such as bows and arrows. The few long-range attack methods are simply and rudely releasing the divine power accumulated in the body.
"Why do you suddenly want to learn magic?"
"I just feel that by learning more things, I can make myself stronger."
Diana's expression was very serious and determined. Ethan stared for a few seconds, and got the answer from her eyes: "Your mother... has told you something."
Ethan's words were not questions, but affirmative sentences. Diana also nodded to confirm Ethan's speculation.
"I have understood my mission, that is to defeat the evil Ares The development of this world has gradually deviated from the story that Ethan knew, and moved in another unknowable direction. Diana She realized her mission early, and accepted the meticulous teachings of Hippolyte and Antiop earlier, her strength at this time should be far beyond the same period in the original plot.
But Diana didn't get pride and satisfaction, and even wanted to learn magic to strengthen her strength. The opponent is the **** of war Ares. In this world, Ares destroyed the Olympus Protoss who created the Amazons on the Paradise Island. Such a powerful opponent created a lot of pressure on the young Diana and forced her to find ways to improve her. strength.
"Learning magic... is not a good idea."
Ethan looked at Diana. In fact, Diana's aptitude could not be described as excellent, but should be evaluated as being against the sky. Her aptitude is so good that there are almost no shortcomings. With the blood of the gods, she is born with a huge divine power hidden in her body, but the young Diana can't exert this power.
But even if these divine powers are not played out, it does not mean that they have no effect-as Diana grows up, the divine powers will slowly and persistently strengthen her body, and with development, her body will reach a fairly perfect level. Eventually, when she reached a certain age, she burst out with the power that met her protoss identity.
Just when Diana thought Ethan was unwilling to teach herself, she did not expect Ethan to point her out another way.
"Rather than learning magic, it is better to use your strengths."
Ethan stood up, walked around Diana a few times and probed carefully.
"Learn how to properly use the supernatural powers in your body... Let them exert their power is the path you should choose."
