Chapter 25: The Princess and the Fairy Tale
After the two of them entered the door of the tower through the secret gate, the huge heavy iron door slowly opened, and two Amazonian warriors in skirts and armor walked out of it.
"Diana, why are you here?"
One of the fighters glanced at Chen Sheng, a strange man, and took the lead in greeting Diana.
When Diana heard this, she briefly and quickly talked about the situation on the beach battlefield.
After hearing this, the two warriors were also extremely surprised, and their faces immediately became very ugly again, obviously worried about the safety of their queen.
"Julian, we don't have time to delay now, Ares will be here soon, I need all the treasures here to find a way to fight Ares."
Diana's face was solemn.
"Okay, we get it."
The Amazon warrior who spoke nodded, and the other guard soldier turned sideways, letting Diana and Chen Sheng pass.
Naturally, they also believed their princess's words, and although she brought a strange man with her, the two knew that the situation was urgent, and they were very knowledgeable and did not ask much.
If in the past, if you wanted to enter and exit the Amazon treasury, you had to get the personal approval and warrant of Her Majesty, but now that Hippolyta is seriously injured and unconscious, and even Antiop, the commander of the three armies, is in the same critical situation, then the supreme command of Paradise Island naturally falls to Queen Diana.
What Diana said was the king's order for them.
As soon as she took Chen Sheng's hand, Diana walked quickly, leading Chen Sheng towards the interior of the tower.
Chen Sheng was slightly stunned, but he didn't withdraw his hand, just silently followed behind Diana.
The two of them soon came to the center of the first floor.
There were also two Amazonian warriors stationed here, and after greeting Diana, Diana told them to call the guards upstairs, and they all withdrew.
Here, Chen Sheng keenly sensed the existence of some special magic fluctuations.
He looked at it, the inner layer of the decorated golden tower is a circular stepped design, each floor and the top distance between each floor is quite high, at least more than 6 meters, the height of the top distance, coupled with the wide indoor area, the interior of the tower appears empty, and solemn atmosphere, the aesthetics of gold and relief unique to ancient Greece, I don't know how much is depicted on the internal wall, although Chen Sheng does not understand art, but he can also feel, The heaviness of the ancient aesthetics revealed here and the breath of time.
Although the Amazons are a fighting nation, but as an immortal species, they are also very amazing in artistic attainments, and their long life span allows them to have a long time to create and study art.
"Chen, you see what you need, just pick."
At this time, there were only two people left in the entire tower, and Diana suddenly spoke.
“... Diana, what do you want to say to me? ”
Chen Sheng didn't act immediately when he heard this, but turned his head to look at Diana beside him, and the eyes of the two met.
"Let me guess, you want to defeat Ares?"
Chen Sheng had a vague feeling from just now that there seemed to be some different meanings in Diana's words, and she seemed to have been emphasizing that she had to 'find a way to deal with Ares'.
However, the consensus reached between Chen Sheng and Hippolyta before was that he did not want to fight Ares head-on, but wanted to hide the paradise island completely, so that Ares would have no way to take the Amazons.
The reason why he made this suggestion was because he knew that if he could open the mirror dimension at a sufficient depth, he could theoretically make the paradise island completely hidden, and if he couldn't find its location from the real world, no matter how strong Ares was, there was no way at all.
But it seems, Diana did not exactly agree with Hippolyta's ideas.
Or, in her prime of life, Diana's ideas were more radical and fearless than the conservative Hippolyta.
She wants revenge.
She didn't want to leave it at that.
"Chen, Ares is the source of this world's suffering, and only by destroying him can this world be saved."
There was no smile on Diana's face at the moment, and there was no calm, only a terrible attachment.
"I can't accept that I just went into hiding, and I can't accept my mother's decision to abandon my whole clan and run away."
"All the sources of all this, only by solving Ares can we really solve this problem. Hasn't he done enough harm to the world? This is true of the Amazons, it is true of humans, and it is true of the gods. Is evil destined to obscure the light forever? ”
"No... If someone has to stand up to him, then let me come. ”
"I want to put an end to this."
Diana looked at Chen Sheng, and the purity in her eyes was like substance.
"Everything here, you pick and take with you if you need it. But I have only one request, I want you to help me defeat Ares. ”
“... I'm sorry, Diana, but I admire your will and determination, but I can't accede to your request so hastily. ”
Chen Sheng looked at the other party silently for two seconds, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Diana of this period, so pure, beautiful, fearless, yet full of knowledge and great potential, when combined, is almost like a classical fairy tale.
Even adults will marvel at the beauty of this fairy tale.
But beauty can't hide the cold and grim reality.
And reality, too, is not a fairy tale.
When the virtual is transformed into the real, there are already many changes that are different from what Chen Sheng knows, he doesn't know what Ares's extreme strength is, and even why the other party will attack the paradise island at this time, whether there will be any driving force behind it, and whether it will involve other Greek gods, these conjectures Chen Sheng can't grasp.
To be honest, he didn't want to get too involved in this.
If he hadn't had any ideas about the Amazons' collections and treasures, he might have chosen to leave on his own after saving Diana.
Therefore, he proposed to Queen Hippolyta that in exchange for treasures, he would try to help them completely hide the paradise island from the attack of Ares.
From the very beginning, he didn't want to fight Ares to the death.
And they won't tie themselves to the Amazons.
Seeing Chen Sheng's refusal, Diana's face suddenly turned a little pale.
Looking at Chen Sheng's eyes, he also looked a little disappointed.
However, Chen Sheng had no intention of explaining further.
"Diana, I am not a savior from the sky, maybe I say this a little bit of a blow to your confidence and will, but I can't make any promises and guarantees to you, because I don't want to lie to you."
"Let's see if there's anything I can use here, and if there's anything unexpected, maybe I'll reserve the right to answer your request."
After Chen Sheng finished speaking, he walked towards the stone platforms in the central area, where the treasures of the various Amazonian collections on the first floor were displayed.
