Chapter 280: Parting Ways and Convergence
"It's an outsider, it's been a long time, if there's anything you need help with—uh-huh!!"
The moment he saw the man and woman in ancient Greek-style clothes in front of him, Red did not hesitate to knock the man down with a punch, and at the same time condensed the blade of blood qi on his other hand, pointing it at the neck of the stunned woman.
"Well, this lady, you don't want any accidents to happen to your husband, so you can answer my question honestly."
"Ah, this ...... He's my brother—"
"That's not the point, it's about ......"
At that moment, a dazzling golden light flew from behind Red, and a lasso was tied to Red's wrist.
"Stop me, we're not bad people!"
I saw Wonder Woman Diana fall from the sky with a gloomy face, and then Matthew and Little Da Vinci also came out of the woods.
"Didn't I tell you to wait at the beach, and I'll be in charge of gathering intelligence......"
Red smacked his tongue, and sure enough, acting with these so-called superheroes is particularly troublesome.
"Gathering intelligence is not done in this way, and attacking innocent civilians is not a heroic act."
Diana stopped in front of the Annisome Native girl, raised her shield and looked at Red with a disgruntled expression.
"If you want to be bad for this girl, beat me first!"
Which side are you on, Miss?
Red felt a little tingling in his scalp, and the heroine's sense of justice was a little too strong.
"Wait, wait, Miss Diana and Mr. Red, please don't quarrel......"
In contrast to Matthew's anxious expression, little Da Vinci looked very calm, and instead observed Red with interest.
It's just that the aboriginal girl who was protected by Diana not only did not have any nervousness, but showed a light of surprise.
"The breath of the gods...... Are you all messengers of the gods? ”
Red's heart moved, all the inhabitants of the Atlantic Persona Zone have been transformed by the nanomachines of the Greek mecha, so they will have a certain degree of sensitivity to the breath of the gods, and it seems that the breath of the Greek gods on Diana's body can be sensed by them even here.
"That's right, this is Princess Diana, a demigod blessed by the Greek gods; And I am the messenger of Ares, the god of war, a rope of the Lasso of Truth, a creation of Hephaestus, the god of fire...... Those who are bound by the noose can only tell the truth. ”
Red took the Lasso from his hand and handed it to the Native girl in front of him, who held the noose tremblingly with his small hands.
Wonder Woman Diana saw this, her lips moved but she didn't stop it, because she also knew that she needed intelligence now.
"I hate my brother the most, I don't let me leave the village all day, it's so refreshing to see him knocked unconscious - wow, it's real, it really has divine powers!"
Well, it seems that it is a good thing that this kid was knocked unconscious, and Red glanced at the aboriginal man on the ground with pity.
Seeing that the girl was not afraid, and that Red did not intend to continue to move, Diana breathed a sigh of relief and said to the girl with a soft expression.
"We have no ill will towards you, we just want to know the location of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and the road to Mount Olympus, can you tell me?"
But the girl shook her head blankly.
"How can an outcast like us know where the gods are......
"It's useless to ask her these questions, Diana, and I'll ask them."
Red squatted down in front of the girl and asked kindly.
"I'm looking for a tavern, the hostess of the tavern should be red-haired, and then the location ......"
Red pointed to Diana's chest, not noticing that the latter's expression stiffened.
"Probably older than her—what's the point, do you have any clue?"
——
"Perverted, vulgar, and obscene!"
When Red and the others came to the beach, Diana still glared at Red with disdain.
"Is it time to go to that kind of place, I thought you would race against time to find your companions......"
"I'm just looking for my companions."
Red said perfunctorily, squinting his eyes to the other side of the horizon.
Diana still looked upset, standing in front of Red with her waist crossed, her cheeks bulging.
"Then again, I have something to say about what you've just done – while our goals are the same for the time being, it doesn't mean that I will allow you to continue to use violence against innocent civilians. It's like you had a better idea than to injure one person and then threaten the other with force...... What's worse is that the girl has already told you the information, but you still knocked her unconscious......"
"I'm protecting her, haven't you noticed?"
But just then, Red interrupted Diana's chatter.
"You see, in this Persona Zone, the gods are still in power, and they are likely to appear as our enemies - in this case, if they take the initiative to help us, they are likely to be punished by the gods, or their armies. And if we use force to ask for information, maybe she will not be considered a betrayal. ”
Diana was speechless for a while, but after gritting her teeth, she still said unwillingly.
"If that's the case, you could have told us from the beginning—"
"Did you make a mistake, Wonder Woman?"
Hearing Red's suddenly cold and cold voice, Diana's words came to an abrupt end.
"I don't have to act according to your rules, it's better that you actually obstructed my actions just now, this kind of thing is really dangerous - I suggest you review it carefully, and don't make the same mistake in the future, otherwise I won't show mercy to your men the next time I stand against my enemies."
"You say...... What? ”
Diana, who had a strong personality, became more and more ugly after hearing Red's words.
"It seems that I was too naïve to believe Barbara's judgment and actually think that your nature is not bad...... Well, in that case we'll go our separate ways-"
"Wait, please don't be impulsive!"
Seeing that Red and Diana had such a bad relationship, Matthew hurriedly stepped forward to persuade the two to reconcile.
"I think Mr. Red must have done this for a reason, and Miss Diana would be too dangerous to be in this Persona Zone if she left alone......"
Matthew had also seen Red's strength just now, as well as the extremely terrifying attack in the sky, so of course it was better to be safer with Red in this situation.
Diana had an embarrassed expression, she didn't want to be presumptuous, but she also had a hard time accepting the conceptual gap with Red......
"Indeed, you are right."
Red touched his chin and nodded thoughtfully, and the light ring in his hand flashed.
In the next second, a simple and sharp long sword appeared in Red's hand.
Diana's eyes widened, and she immediately recognized what it was.
"This is my ......"
"That's right, it's your Vulcan sword, I picked it up in Washington."
The Ring of Light has a small storage space inside, and Red has placed some important weapons in it—but most of the time he'll only need a weapon condensed with the power of flesh and blood.
"I forgot to give it back to you, and now it's time for it to be returned to its rightful owner."
After taking the familiar weapon from Red's hand, Diana's hostility immediately decreased a lot, and the expression on her pretty face softened a little.
"Don't think that's going to be ...... And I don't mean you have to apologize, but I think there's a better way to do it......"
Obviously, Diana thought it was Red's act of apologizing to her, and Matthew was relieved to see this.
"That's right, we should all work together at this time—"
"Alright, now you can go, Wonder Woman. Now take back the Vulcan Sword, and even if you are defeated by someone, you can no longer resent me. ”
However, Red simply turned his head and said in a cold and merciless voice.
"Bye-bye, Diana, I wish you a nice trip."
It doesn't take much time for Red to feel Diana's consternation, and then the Lampring reacts to the anger that arose behind Red.
"Very good...... Then goodbye - Matthew, little Da Vinci, if you have enough of this guy, you can always send a signal, and I will come and meet you at once if I see it! ”
"Alas, wait, wait! Miss Diana—"
Shout!
Diana soared into the air, flying at high speed across the sea, setting off waves that were several meters high before disappearing from their view in a matter of seconds.
Anyway, this chick is a little too ostentatious - but it's not hard to understand, after all, Wonder Woman herself acts in this style.
"Alright, then let's go too, and the target is the hot tavern hostess...... Well? ”
But Matthew grabbed Red's arm, and the little girl, who had always been a little scared of Red, now mustered up the courage to look at him directly.
"No, Mr. Red, we need to go and get Miss Diana back, it's too dangerous to leave her alone."
She is worthy of being a girl who was once recognized by Galahad, and she is indeed impeccable in her integrity and kindness, but before Red could think of the words to explain to her, a slender little hand gently rested on Matthew's shoulder.
"We trust Mr. Red's judgment, Matthew, I think he deliberately angered Diana, and naturally he has his own reasons."
Little Da Vinci looked at Red meaningfully, and his clear eyes seemed to be able to see through Red's heart.
"I spoke a little before with Miss Diana, who carries the blessings of the Greek gods...... If that's the case, then Miss Diana's every move may have been under the watchful eye of the gods - maybe it had something to do with the precise sniping from the sky that we had just crossed the Heara Belt barrier? ”
Hearing little Da Vinci's words, a look of sudden realization appeared on Matthew's face, but she still looked a little embarrassed.
"But even so, it might be dangerous to leave Miss Diana alone...... She's already been targeted by the enemy—"
"Diana seems to be known as Wonder Woman in that world, with a power above ordinary servants, and it should be no problem for her to protect herself alone; Besides, I think Mr. Red has a hand behind and is always ready to support her, doesn't he? ”
Little Da Vinci's eyes were really vicious, and through the Vulcan Sword that had been amplified by himself with an alien dimension, Red could indeed clearly perceive Diana's location, plus Diana actually had ...... in her body
However, Rader did not do this simply to make Diana angry - to be precise, to make Diana angry away, it was a means, not an end.
But Red didn't explain much to Little Da Vinci and Matthew, he just smiled undeniably.
After all, in this Hearsay Zone, there may be Zeus's eyes and ears everywhere, after all, the interstellar combat annihilation-type mobile fortress may have now merged with Zeus, the god of the DC universe, and I don't know how powerful it is.
"Anyway, if you can believe me, come along...... The next destination is the island of Hercules. ”
Red looked in the direction the Aboriginal girl had been directing.
"What is waiting there should be your old acquaintance."
——
"Welcome to the [Golden Deer] Pavilion, I'm the proprietress Francis Drake...... Anyway, if you're a guy in pan-human history, at least I should know about it. ”
Standing in front of Red and them was a handsome woman who perfectly matched the requirements described by Red just now, with a simple and simple shirt tied in a knot on the chest, making the already plump parts more conspicuous.
But even so, her appearance attracted the attention of others more than her figure, and under the long pink-purple hair that was tied up haphazardly, there was a handsome and beautiful face that was no less beautiful than Diana, although one of her eyes was covered by an eyepatch, and there was a distinct scar in the middle of her face, which made her just the right amount of flawed beauty.
"When, of course you know, Captain Drake! After all, we used to be together—"
Matthew looked excited, and judging from the way she looked at Drake, she did know Drake.
It even looks like it's still a little fan girl?
But strangely, the latter shook her head with a wry smile, she didn't seem to be very familiar with Matthew.
"I'm sorry, I don't know you, but it's strange to say, obviously for no reason, but I seem to have a good impression of you. That's the one, right? In a dream or something, maybe we've had a fuss together - but I always feel like there's a girl next to you......"
Matthew and Drake should have met when they were solving the problem of human relievership, but it was Terek with a peculiarity, and it is estimated that his memory will be erased at the same time when the anomaly is repaired.
"If only Senpai could see Captain Drake...... I will definitely be happy ...... too."
Drake gently stroked Matthew's hair, who looked a little gloomy.
Then Drake curiously shifted his gaze to Red's direction.
"What are you looking for, guest, did you drop something here before?"
Red had been looking left and right since he first entered the door, as if he was looking for something, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"Is this just you, Drake? Iason, and Mandicardo, Orion, and Corday......."
"Where have the other servants gone?"
