Chapter 402: There is an inner ghost, suspend the alliance

Diana held the Amazon Queen in her arms and breathed a sigh of relief when she was sure that her mother was only temporarily weakened and that she was fine.

"Take care of Her Majesty."

She handed over the unconscious, unsteady Hippolyta to the female general Antiope.

"I guess I just drank poisoned wine, which was mixed with the aconitum of Cerberus, but fortunately the dose was not much."

Diana not only knew the skills of the battlefield, she was also very good at learning and had a certain understanding of medicinal herbs.

Cerberus is the "three-headed dog of hell" in Greek mythology, with a dragon's tail on his lower body and a poisonous snake wrapped around his head and back.

When it sees sunlight, it spits out poisonous saliva and drips to the ground and turns into aconitum grass.

It was a rare herb with so poison that even Hippolyta's demigod body was immune.

Poison the weak, then assassinate!

Diana swept over the golden trident that had bounced open, and looked at Atlantis with a somewhat unkind gaze.

Such a murder weapon is obviously like the weapon style of the undersea man.

"Has the killer been found?"

She turned her gaze to Penthesilea, the most famous female warrior on Paradise Island.

When the assassination happened, she chased it out as soon as possible.

"No, I only saw a back, and the murderer jumped into the sea."

Penthesirea shook her head, showing regret.

"Let's disperse, let the delegation of the human world out, and let's go back to Paradise Island first."

Hippolyta was assassinated and unable to preside over the overall situation, and Diana deservedly stepped forward.

As it turned out, the Amazon princess was very responsible and decisive, and quickly managed the chaotic situation.

Even if the suspicion of the murderer of the human world and Atlantis cannot be ruled out.

She still let go of the restrictions on entrances and exits, and did not create more meaningless conflicts.

Keeping the Queen of the Amazon safe is the top priority.

There are witches on Paradise Island that can dissolve the toxicity of aconitum grass.

"Your Highness Kurry, he wants to come over and ask about the Queen......"

One of the Amazons lowered his voice and said to Diana.

The latter's gaze involuntarily glanced at Luke, who was leaning on his side with his hands on his chest, and then shook his head in refusal.

For some reason, the Amazon princess didn't want Arthur Curry to show up at this time.

"I'm very busy now, I understand Atlantis's condolences and concerns, let His Royal Highness the Prince go back."

Diana waved her hand and rejected the future Aquaman's courtesy.

She didn't have the heart to deal with the other party, and the sudden assassination of her mother cast a shadow over the peace talks that were supposed to end successfully.

It didn't take long for the Amazon warship moored at the harbor to drive in.

The female general Antiope took the Amazon queen on the flagship and rushed to the paradise island first.

"You can go back with me."

Diana, who was in charge of the overall situation, slowed down and did not get on the boat, and said to Luke, who stayed behind.

"Paradise Island?"

Luke said as he shook his head as the corners of his mouth curled.

"The assassination of the Queen of the Amazons, this will inevitably cause a reaction from the gods of Olympus, if the murderer is the human world, then the war between the gods and mortals will start, if the murderer is Atlantis, then the war between land and sea will be ignited, if the murderer is ...... Somebody, that's an internal strife. ”

"Diana, there will be a lot of things for you to deal with in the coming period, and that responsibility will be on your shoulders."

"So, I won't go over and make a mess, and I won't be able to help much anyway."

At first, hearing Luke's refusal, Diana pursed her mouth, obviously dissatisfied.

But the calm analysis that followed made her put away this willfulness.

"Did you know that the Amazons had a tradition a long time ago that if they had their crush on a man of a certain tribe, they would ask him to fight a duel and try to defeat the other ......?"

Standing at the port, Diana's eyes were a little complicated, as if she was entangled in her heart and difficult to decide.

"Stun him and bring him back to Paradise Island, and then that man will be her future husband."

Luke raised an eyebrow, his gaze involuntarily shifting to the Amazon princess who had changed into god-gold armor.

He was a little worried, and the next moment the other party would knock himself unconscious with a frying pan or a shield or something, and then pack it up and send it to Paradise Island.

"This sounds a bit like the primitive tribe way of getting married, knocking out with a big stick and dragging them into a cave to marry together."

Luke avoided Diana's gaze and digressed the subject.

He hadn't figured out how to get Wonder Woman out of Flashpoint World yet.

Besides, people don't necessarily follow them.

At this time, if you brush too much favorability, you will fall into a more passive situation anyway.

"If you're not willing to come back to Paradise Island with me, then why are you here?"

Diana was a little angry, and her instincts told her that Luke was hiding a lot of secrets.

If she could, she really wanted to tie up this guy with a mantra lasso so that he could get it from the truth.

"To fulfill the promise, of course."

Luke spreads out his palms and, as if by magic, conjures up a strawberry ice cream.

It was sprinkled with crushed nuts and showed no signs of melting, as if it had just been made.

"Gift delivery."

He smiled and handed Diana the ice cream.

The Amazon princess snorted softly, she had already tasted all kinds of sweets in the human world in the days she had been involved in the talks.

But in the face of the ice cream in Luke's hand, Diana still couldn't resist the temptation and took it happily.

You deserve it!

"Don't try to buy me off with this little thing!"

The Amazon princess said firmly as she ate.

"Then I'll reveal a little bit of news, can I ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to forgive me for my ignorance."

The corners of Luke's mouth were raised, he looked at the Amazonian warrior standing on the bow of the ship, and said softly, "There is a traitor in Paradise Island. ”

Diana, who was licking the ice cream, was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't hear clearly, and then reacted.

"Impossible!"

Almost subconsciously, she vetoed the possibility.

Immediately, those clear eyes stared at Luke tightly.

"Who is it?"

Diana hesitated for a moment and asked in a deep voice.

If it were someone else, she wouldn't believe it.

Amazons value honor and comrades-in-arms, and betrayal is an extremely shameful sin!

For so many years, the Amazon princess had never heard of anyone who would go against the will of the queen and disobey the teachings of Mother Earth.

"Her Majesty's sister, Penthesile."

Luke replied truthfully.

"She has an unknown identity, and that is the daughter of Ares."

Paradise Island's "Penthesile" is not a four-star card in a kryptonite game.

She is the daughter of Ares, the god of war, and one of the inner demons who planned the assassination.

"In addition to her, Orm, the sea lord of Atlantis, is also involved, and perhaps there is a covert push from Ares himself."

Luke didn't mind giving Diana a "spoiler", anyway, there were enough things that Flashpoint World was changed.

The original trajectory was actually that the sea lord Orm colluded with Penthesilea, the daughter of Ares.

The two worked together to assassinate the Amazonian queen Hippolyta and then the king of Atlantis in an attempt to provoke a war between the two sides.

As for the purpose?

Paradise Island loses Hippolyta, and if Diana does not show qualified leadership, then Pentesilea is very likely to become the new queen.

Ares was the son of Zeus and Hera, and his status was extraordinary.

With his support, the gods would not oppose it much.

And Orm, the lord of the seas, was also able to remove the biggest stumbling block in his path, his brother Arthur, who ascended the throne as king.

Finally, Ares, the god of war, who hides behind the scenes.

You can also use this world war to draw divine power and strengthen yourself.

A perfect collaboration!

Everyone is a winner!

Except for Diana and Arthur Curry, and the human world where innocents are swept up.

"Do you have proof?"

After listening to the long "spoilers", Diana was a little shaken.

She wasn't the kind of person who easily doubted her companions, but these unbelievable speculations came from Luke's mouth.

And it is reasonable, logical and self-consistent.

"No evidence is needed."

Luke looked into the distance and said softly: "The Amazon Queen was not successfully assassinated according to the original script, she is still alive, and the war between Paradise Island and Atlantis cannot be ignited." ”

"So, Ares will definitely make a move."
