Chapter 46: The Age of Sorrow

Leaving Patrick's mansion with Diana, El entered the mansion of another nobleman without paying any attention, and enjoyed the warm hospitality of the other party without paying any attention.

As for why, magic is very convenient in some ways, and with the slightest hint, the other party will think that El and Diana are their distant relatives.

The reason why El chose to do so is that this era is indeed too backward compared to the twenty-first century, not to mention the so-called inns, there are some famous hotels and apartments, but that is too eye-catching, in this time period when the minister has just been assassinated.

And it's only World War I, not yet World War II, when all London eats black bread and distributes relief food.

In fact, the present London aristocracy is still extremely luxurious, completely different from their poor relatives, the German Junkers.

The vast colonies make today's empire shine brightly.

The British economist Jevons described the empire at its peak in 1865.

"The plains of North America and Russia are our cornfields; Canada and the Baltic Sea are our forest areas; Australia is our ranch; Peru is our silver mine; South Africa and Australia are our gold mines; India and China are our tea plantations; The East Indies are our coffee, sugar cane and spice plantations; The southern United States is our cotton plantations..."

And in the home of this "enthusiastic" aristocrat, El also really had time to have a good chat with Diana.

"I killed Ares, but the war is not over, you are right, it is the war that makes Ares, not Ares." Diana's mood was visibly lost.

Although Ares's demagogy of Diana did not work, after the battle, looking at the soldiers coming and going, everything she had heard in the nobleman's house, Diana actually agreed with Ares's statement somewhat.

"You're disappointed in humanity right now, aren't you?"

Through conversations with this nobleman, Diana already knew the history of mankind, that this country was built on the bones of corpses, drawing blood from other peoples and nations all the time; And not only that, kindness is so ridiculous in this world, and the country that challenges him is only doing something similar to it.

This is the battle between the two robbers.

"Yes, I don't know what I have to do, humanity is not worth it, no, it is humanity that does not need to be saved at all, they themselves have chosen hell and are happy to do it." Diana said to El, hugging her knees.

"Diana." El sighed. "You're too yourself, and you're too humanity. Humans have never been a race that needs to be saved, what they need is hope, and humans have suffered too much malice in this world, some of which come from gods, demons, and even aliens, and some from themselves. ”

"What you are doing is not ending this war, in fact this war is nearing its end, because no one gets what they want, even if Ares does not die, he is only a small part in front of the whole of humanity, wars are never decided by one person, this is a battle between two countries."

"I know that the great battles of countless people, hundreds of thousands, even millions, are something that I have never seen in the Amazon, not even in the books, and I can't change this battle."

"But you can save the innocent." El said. "There will always be undeserved victims in war, and what we do is not to stop or end this war, but to protect those who suffer because of this war."

"Your duty is not to kill Ares, but to end the war, but to save innocent people, killing Ares and ending the war are just the means and process of saving innocent people."

Every superhero has a kind heart, which may not be recognized by others, but there is no doubt that they are brilliant because of it.

"Yes, I shouldn't be depressed by that." Except for heroes like Batman, in fact, most heroes have an optimistic personality, Diana only took a slight blow, even if El is not enlightened, Diana herself can be soothed.

And after El's enlightenment, Diana easily got rid of the gloom in her heart.

"So, let's get out of here." Diana made a suggestion that surprised El a little.

"I think you're right, most of the people who suffer in the war are ordinary people, and we may not be able to stop this war, but we can save them."

El heard Diana's words and smiled slightly, it is true, El himself is not a zealous person, but Wonder Woman should not change.

At Diana's suggestion, the two left London at night, and the riot caused by Tianwei and Captain Steve, who was still frightened, were not in the scope of their consideration.

Paradise Island ends up being just a strange adventure that will only be a veteran.

The fiercest battlefield of the First World War was not in England, but in France, where Diana saw the real battlefield, a brutal and terrible scene that cannot be told in words. There is no good and no evil, whether it is the Entente or the allies, in the cold trenches, the soldiers are worthless victims.

But what El didn't know was that after they left London, a detective was tasked with finding out the cause of Sir Patrick's death, and Steve Trevor certainly knew who did it.

But he didn't say anything, he just secretly collected some blood and ashes scattered on the ground and quietly disappeared.

He's going to prove himself and get rid of that damn curse.

Diana and El crossed the borders of the war and came to the territory of Germany. As El said, there is also a wail in Germany, and life here is even more difficult than in England.

Diana's sword could not protect them, she knew the nature of human beings deeply, she did not have too much hope for them, but she would not give up her duty because of this. And El accompanied Diana, little by little, watching how she went from an ignorant girl to a brave superhero.

Eventually, Wonder Woman became a legend that spread across the continent, as it was supposed to be.

Until, in the end, they waited until the end of the war.
