4. Look for a paradise island
"Can you be sure that Ares started the war between Atlantis and Paradise Island?"
Strange was sitting precariously, holding some kind of test spell in his left hand, so that the body of the saber-toothed tiger sitting opposite him was immersed in the light of the spell, and the latter nodded boredly:
"Yes, I'm sure that Ares gave me a map 5 months ago. ”
Victor looked at the people around him with serious faces, he rolled his eyes and continued:
"It was a detailed map of the underwater city of Atlantis, and I dare say that even those people under the sea could not have a map of the same detail, but I did what Ares had told me to sneak into the city, steal something, and put it in the treasury of Paradise Island. ”
Speaking of this, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Victor's mouth:
"Queen Hippolyta, who rules Paradise Island, is indulged in missing her daughter all day long, and has no time to manage her own treasury, so at the instigation of Ares, soon, the news that the Amazon women of Paradise Island have stolen the treasure spread to Atlantis, and you all know the rest of the matter... They went to war, and they've been fighting until now!"
The expressions on the faces of everyone in the hall were different, Cyber's face was as heavy as water, the mages had serious faces, Felicity, the glasses lady, searched for information on a computer, and Superman Clark's girlfriend Louise retorted bluntly:
"IMHO, but I think you're telling a story. ”
The journalist pushed her eyes and looked at the saber-toothed tiger: "I have never heard of Paradise Island, as for Atlantis, it is just a hypothesis." ”
"So who cares about this mortal chick, let her not make casual remarks about things she doesn't understand!"
Summoned and rushed back from Northern Europe, the grumpy old mage Hognis said in a deep voice while tapping the floor with the fire crystal staff: "Such a place!
Seeing the old man lose his temper, Louise suddenly shrank her head and hid back to her boyfriend, she had followed Clark into the hall secretly, where there was no place for her.
After reprimanding the mortal chick who didn't know the height of the sky, the old mage's gaze fell on Victor like a harrier eagle, and he asked in a deep voice:
"But I don't quite believe everything you say, mutant, as far as I know, Queen Atlanta, the ruler of Atlantis, is not a mediocre king, and Queen Hippolyta is a demigod who has been blessed by the Olympian gods, and she is also not easily controlled by emotions, so I am more curious, what exactly did you steal from Atlantis?"
"A trident!"
Victor recalled, and then sketched out the appearance of the thing with both hands: "The golden halberd, the top is divided into five strands, just holding it in the hand, you can feel its control over the sea, Ares said that it is a symbol of the kingship of Atlantis, a weapon that only the king of the seven seas can hold." ”
"Neptune Trident !!"
Hognis's eyes widened suddenly, and he stood up, the staff in his hand pointed to the ground: "Then it shows that you are lying! Mutant, that trident has always been in the hands of Queen Atlanta, and with your strength, it is impossible to take it from her hands!"
"But the queen is dead!
Victor felt the power surging through Hognes, he sensed the threat, and hurriedly explained:
"The queen was murdered by her own son! I saw with my own eyes, I was hiding in the shadows of the palace, and I could see very well that Ares had given Orme, lord of the seas, the power that belonged to him, to carry out a cruel and effective assassination. ”
The saber-toothed tiger saw the shock that flashed in Hognes' eyes, and he continued:
"As you said, Atlantis is an undersea kingdom, if under normal circumstances, I would have been found when I touched the trident, and then I would have been arrested and executed, but that night, the entire undersea palace was in chaos because of the queen's death, and I was able to leave the palace safe and sound. ”
"So what you mean is that the new Atlantean usurper and the exiled god of war are united, the usurper Orm gets the undersea kingdom, and Ares gets his own lost god of war..."
The old mage Hognis closed his eyes and sat back on the sofa, and just as he was thinking, Felicity, who had been busy with the computer, suddenly spoke:
"I pinpointed the start of the most recent current anomaly in the Mediterranean, about five months ago, in line with Mr. Victor's statement. After a sudden burst of rain, the currents there began to change irregularly, and in recent months it has been unnavigable, and it is said that ships there can only move along the coast, otherwise they can easily be swept into the sudden eye of the sea. ”
"That's not the eye of the sea. ”
Strange finished his magic, he glanced at Victor, and said in a deep voice: "That's the war magic rolled up by the storm warlocks of Atlantis, obviously they are attacking the defensive front of Paradise Island in an orderly manner, it seems that our Mr. Victor is not lying, this war is really started by Ares." ”
"So what about after that?"
"When shall I know where that paradise island is?" Lady Diana is a friend to all of us, and now she is in danger that we do not know ourselves, and we must save her." ”
"It's not that we don't want to tell you, Cyber. ”
Old Master Hognes sighed, "But we don't know either... In my time, there were many rumors that there were artifacts from the Olympus god system hidden in Paradise Island, which led many dark wizards to spontaneously go to find this island, but the whole 100 years of exploration were fruitless, and the place was shrouded in the power of the Olympian god system, and people who were not recognized could not enter it. ”
"It is said that Zeus regarded Paradise Island as the last bloodline of Mount Olympus, and before he died, he begged the Supreme Mage to spare the last bloodline, and the Supreme Mage agreed to him, so that place is not too detailed in Kama Taj's information, and it is likely that even the Supreme Mage herself did not know the location of Paradise Island, although she only wanted to know. ”
"Now we just know that the island is in the Mediterranean, but it's hard to say where, Trevor, an American pilot in World War I, was the only mortal who broke into Paradise Island, but even that time, it was because of Ares's obstruction." ”
"Trevor?"
Cyber frowned, "That's said to be Diana's husband?"
"No, he's not!"
Hognis shook his head: "Princess Diana is a demigod, her blood status is so noble that she is not allowed to marry a mortal, and as far as I know, Trevor died before the end of the war, he and Diana were just former comrades-in-arms, and they had some feelings, but unfortunately, this feelings were shattered before they were born." ”
"Well, it's miserable..."
Sebo commented on Lady Diana's marriage with a calm face, and he turned his head to look at Victor, who shrugged his shoulders:
"Don't look at me, I don't know, that night I snuck into Paradise Island with the help of Ares's teleportation magic, let me go by myself, I couldn't find the island surrounded by the sea either, but to be honest, it wasn't a small island, it was at least two-thirds the size of New York State, like a small country. ”
Cyber nodded, and he looked at the crowd in front of him:
"So now it seems that Diana is really in trouble, what do you say?"
"Ms. Diana fought alongside me in New York, and she was a warrior of honor, and I would like to save her!"
Clark stood up and said to Cyber, "And I'll be ready to go right away." ”
"Then you'd better come with me. ”
Barry, the Flash who suddenly appeared in the hall, patted his chest and said to Clark: "When I heard that Ms. Diana was in danger, I rushed over immediately, it only took 5 minutes, I could search the entire Mediterranean, to find a hidden target, speed is the most important thing, and in the Battle of New York, Ms. Diana taught me a lot, and I am willing to help her." ”
"Very well, then you will set off at once and search the Mediterranean. ”
Saiber moved his finger and said to Strange and Hognes, "Let's start from the other side, find those Atlanteans first, follow the direction of their attack, and we will naturally find Paradise Island!"
"I suggest you better hurry. ”
Victor got up from his chair and stretched:
"Ares's execution is very high, and the two sides have fought for 5 months, in that kind of intense war, Ares's strength will increase beyond your imagination, don't underestimate him too much, that is the former god, that is the opponent of the Supreme Mage's level, if you are not careful, you will die." ”
Twenty minutes later, the foggy waters of the Mediterranean Sea were so furious that no sailor dared to step into the furious seas, as if the god of the sea had unleashed the wildest rage, to warn the world that in recent months more than one person had claimed to have seen the legions moving in the ocean, and the very superstitious sailors believed that it was the migration of the souls of the dead in the sea.
And at this moment, under the rolling raging waves, the deepest seabed, the ghostly light of the water surface through the seawater, refracted a very strange light, under this undulating sea, a special army is quietly advancing.
Huge sea beasts are like giant orangutans, on all fours on the bottom of the sea, their faces look like crocodiles, their bodies are covered with scales and flippers like various fish, each of these monsters is more than 4 meters tall, and the muscles on their bodies are open, and it is easy to think of the heroic posture of these big guys on the battlefield.
And the control of these behemoths are some tall warriors who look no different from humans, they hold trident weapons in their hands, they can survive in the water without any device, their bodies are so tall that even the furious waves of the sea cannot break their bodies, they form an army to drive the sea beasts and fishmen all over the bottom of the sea to the front line of the battlefield.
This is the soldiers of Atlantis, in the past long time, they lived safely in the underwater kingdom of Atlantis in the half-plane of the seabed, rarely communicate with the outside world, and occasionally rescue some people who fell into the water, they have no sense of the changes in the outside world, they and humans are completely two races.
But now, they are embroiled in a war when the despicable queen of Paradise Island sends someone to assassinate the great Queen of Atlanta, snatching the Neptune Trident, the symbol of the sea kingship, and threatening Atlantis to submit to their power.
The soldiers of Atlantis replied to the arrogant mad women with the worst of the wars, and under the leadership of the new king Orm, Atlantis broke away from the half-dimensional realm under the sea and unleashed his power like a storm in the sea, they... Never give in!
However, there are a few new faces in this army today, but in the solemn atmosphere of going to the battlefield, not many people will pay attention to this.
"The destination should be in front of us, we're almost there... Contact Clark and Barry and have them meet up ahead!"
Cyber glanced at Strange beside him, and outside of the two people's bodies, there was a glow of illusion, making them look no different from normal Atlanteans on the surface, as for the original unlucky eggs under these two identities, this should have been almost gnawed by hungry sharks.
But seriously, I don't know why, the closer I got to the battlefield, the faster Saibo's heart beated, as if a huge crisis was just around the corner...
