Chapter 57: Paradise Island
"What kind of place is this? We're not still in the Sea of Calm, are we?"
Looking around, it was very primitive. Standing on the beach and looking at both sides, it seems to be an island, and looking back at the endless blue sea, this gives the two people the illusion that they have not left the calm sea, but have just landed on an island.
"I don't know what this place is. β
I don't see any traces of modern industry, maybe it's a world with an ancient background, or some remote place? I just don't know which kind of movie, novel, anime, legend?
The scope is too large, and with the current information, there is no clue at all.
"We can go a little bit ahead, maybe it's not an island, it's just that we're just on the beach. β
After all, people's vision has a limit, and because they are hindered by the terrain, their first reaction is the island, and it is also the habitual thinking that arises after living in a calm sea for a while.
"Of course, it's also possible...... Meet the locals ......"
Ethan was talking about another possibility when he noticed a small head popping up on the cliff not far aheadβit was a little girl, looking at them.
"Look, now we can know what kind of world we're in...... At least we can be sure that there are humans in this world. β
Arthur's concern was not that he met people, but the message revealed in Ethan's words: "Is there a world where there are no human beings?"
"Of course, humans are not the only intelligent beings in the multiverse, and don't there be races like goblins in your world?"
"No, I mean, a world completely devoid of humans. β
Ethan then understood what Arthur was asking: "It's not surprising, after all, there are worlds that are not suitable for human life at all, and it is natural that there can be human beings." There are also worlds that have been exterminated because humanity has failed in competition with other races. β
There are so many similar examples that Ethan can't tell them all, so he can only roughly say two situations.
"Hello!"
Ethan tried to say hello in English, he wanted to judge if this world was earth or not. Considering that the little girl didn't look like Chinese no matter how she looked, English was the most suitable language.
The little girl also waved her hand at him, as if in response, probably seeing that Ethan and Arthur were not very old and behaved very friendly, she also became a little bolder, slowly stood up from the cliff, and then quickly ran down another gentle slope that could be walked down, and rushed to Ethan and Arthur in one breath.
"Who are you, and where are you from?"
The little girl was very energetic and full of curiosity, and I don't know if she had never seen a stranger, and she was not vigilant, and her big eyes kept looking at Ethan and Arthur.
"Rustic islanders?"
The first reaction in Ethan's mind was that this girl lived in a simple village, lived a simple life, and didn't know that people were sinister, so she was so unalert.
"Little sister, where is this place?"
The little girl still looked at the two of them cutely, but still answered Ethan's question.
"This is Paradise Island!" and then asked himself, "Why don't you answer my question? Where are you from?"
Paradise Island?
Arthur had no idea about the name, but knew that it was indeed an island, and that the little girl was supposed to be the inhabitant of the island.
But for Ethan, it's different. If this is what you think is the paradise island, then you might be in trouble.
"Arthur, be careful. β
Before the words could be spoken, the sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard, and at the same time, it was inserted into the beach between the two and the little girl before the two of them could react.
"Diana!" an angry roar followed, confirming Ethan's previous suspicions, and at the same time, several female warriors on tall horses raised their bows and arrows to aim at the two people on the beach, and the one in front of the leader, who was obviously the leader, roared angrily at the little girl: "Come back, stay away from those two strangers!"
Ethan raised his hands and motioned for Arthur to step back and distance himself from the little girl in front of him for some time before shouting to Hippolyta in the distance: "We just asked for directions, and there was no ill will!"
Paradise Island and Diana, he was almost sure of where he had been, and at the same time the most gorgeously dressed and angry was the owner of the island, Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons.
Ethan doesn't want to clash with his local master - and worse, he's not sure if the world is a comic book or a movie.
Fortunately, the combat power of the Amazon clan is strong but not outrageous, and ordinary Amazon warriors still seem to stay at the level of human beings, nothing special.
As the queen, Hippolyta did not show any extraordinary strength or special abilities, only Diana, who has the bloodline of the main god, is more special - now she is just a cute little girl.
In the blink of an eye, the fierce Amazonian warriors had surrounded Ethan and Arthur, leaving only the vast sea behind them empty.
Countless arrows were aim, but Ethan and Arthur did not panic or fear, and this calm attitude made Hippolyta even more vigilant.
"Who are you?"
Because Ethan took the initiative to show that there was no malice before, and deliberately distanced himself from Diana, Hippolyta gave a good face, and did not immediately order his subordinates to shoot the two people into a hornet's nest or tie them up.
However, at this time, he felt that it might be a wrong choice not to subdue these two people in the first place.
"It's just that I'm just lost, I just want to ask where this is. β
Ethan wasn't lying, he and Arthur were really just passers-by, just ask where they were, and they didn't even have to stay on the island.
Hippolyta didn't believe Ethan's words.
Where is this? It's a paradise island! It's a hidden place with a barrier set by the gods, isolated from the world! How can you get lost and get lost here? Do you think it's the market next door to your house? You can enter it if you want?
"Strangers, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame us for using some tough tactics. β
Ethan's eyelids jumped, and he immediately thought of Wonder Woman's later iconic weapon: the Lasso of Truth.
"I'm telling the truth. β
"Tell me, then, stranger, how did you two get lost on this island in the middle of nowhere? I see that you two are very clean, and it doesn't look like you have swam from the sea. β
Another woman next to Hippolyta questioned Ethan's words. This woman is dressed in leather armor, which is slightly different from Hippolyta's softness, and she shows a hard and fierce air.
"Ah, this ......"
Ethan looked down at the armor and clothes on his body, and then at Arthur, who was clean and tidy and could directly attend the banquet, and could only shrug his shoulders helplessly: "Actually, I am a magician." β
β......β
β......β
"Ahh
Only Diana, who was still a child, believed Ethan's words, neither Hippolyta nor the fierce Antiope believed it, and even began to think that Ethan was deliberately talking nonsense and teasing them.
"Grab it and bring it back for interrogation!"
As the queen, Hippolyta was sometimes very decisive and gave the order to arrest her at the first opportunity.
And Ethan could only sigh helplessly, and explained a little to Arthur next to him: "Don't kill, if you can't do it, just run." β
Hearing Ethan's explanation, Arthur understood that the group of women in front of him should not be bad people, and Ethan didn't really want to be bad with them. At the same time, he also made sure that Ethan also knew the general situation of the world.
"It's all easy, I can walk on water. But what do you do?"
"It's up to you!"
Ethan suddenly gave Arthur a very scowling look, leaving the young King Arthur speechless, although for the time being, it was indeed the best choice.
As for the Amazonian warriors who rushed from all directions, neither of them took it seriously.
"Of course, it's possible that it doesn't need to be that much trouble. β
Since the group of warriors didn't even use weapons, let alone shoot the two of them into a hornet's nest with bows and arrows, Ethan was not prepared to make any heavy moves, as long as they were allowed to retreat.
With a swipe of his left hand behind him, the Book of Inheritance flew out of the book sleeve and suspended on Ethan's palm, and then the white magic stone on the cover burst out with dazzling brilliance, and gradually spread into a white spherical shield, protecting Ethan and Arthur in the middle.
This is not the end, as Ethan slowly increases his output, the white magic shield that has become less dazzling is also constantly expanding its range, pushing the Amazon female warriors who surround it more and more backwards.
"Look, I'm really a magician, and I came here because there was something wrong with the location of the teleportation magic, and we're really just two passers-by. β
The moment the magic shield appeared, Hippolyta and Antiope changed their faces and realized that things were going in a more troublesome direction.
There was still only the little girl Diana with an excited face, looking at the magic shield emitting a soft white light with great interest: "It's really magic, it turns out that you are really a magician." β
In Diana's worldview, magic and magicians certainly exist, and the only thing worth questioning is whether Ethan is a magician or not.
So when Ethan proved that he was indeed a mage, the previous words were naturally taken as the truth by the little girl.
But Hippolyta, as the queen, would not be so naΓ―ve, and she was now thinking about another question: why did a magician suddenly come to Paradise Island, how did he pass through the barrier arranged by the gods, and what was his purpose?
