Chapter 31: The History of the Amazon
When Duanmu Ruifeng found Diana, she was standing alone on a cliff near the sea, a little hesitant and a little depressed.
This even gave him the illusion that Diana would jump from here at any moment.
"Hey, if you jump down from here, your pretty face will turn into a pockmarked face!" Duanmu Ruifeng quietly walked behind Diana and joked with a smile.
Hearing Duanmu Ruifeng's voice, Diana quickly restrained the expression on her face, not wanting people to see her thoughts.
"What are you doing here?" Diana's chin is held high, still giving people a feeling of confidence and fearlessness.
It is precisely this feeling that makes Duanmu Ruifeng feel that she has a slight resemblance to Carter.
Carter gives people the impression of being heroic and resolute, and the first feeling he gives people is that he is an elite in the army.
And Diana gives people the feeling of being noble and cold, a feeling of being high up and not playing with it from a distance
If it was in her previous life, she would undoubtedly be the best example of a cold and domineering female president in the city.
It is this feeling that makes her particularly attractive, but it also makes people ashamed and afraid to approach.
Of course, this is only for ordinary people, for Duanmu Ruifeng, she is just a special woman, and there is no such thing as not daring to approach.
"Of course I'm here to see you, I'm afraid that if you can't think about it, you really jump from here!" Duanmu Ruifeng and Diana stood side by side and said in a relaxed tone.
"You're thinking too much!" Diana rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.
However, she was also joking in Duanmu Ruifeng's gag, and her mood was indeed a lot better, and her face was smiling again.
Seeing Diana regain his smile, Duanmu Ruifeng breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look into the distance, and said with emotion.
"It's so beautiful here, it's just a miracle of nature!"
For this, he really said it from the heart.
Although the area of Paradise Island is small, you can find a variety of scenery such as mountains, forests, and waterfalls.
Even the entire small town of the Amazons is built on the mountain, and the trees and vegetation in the city can be seen everywhere, and it is full of natural charm.
After learning to teleport magic, he has visited many famous mountains and rivers and beautiful islands, but compared to the scenery, Paradise Island can still be regarded as the best, and there are few places that can be compared.
If it weren't for the Marvel world, he would have wanted to let go of everything and settle down here.
Unfortunately, this is just a thought.
"Paradise Island is not a miracle of nature, but a gift from the god Zeus!" Diana stared at the coastline in the distance, her eyes full of pride.
"The Gift of Zeus?" Duanmu Ruifeng said suspiciously.
"Yes, Paradise Island, and the barrier that envelops the entire sea, were given to us by the god Zeus before his death!" Speaking of which, Diana's mood was obviously a little lower.
"Zeus is dead?" Duanmu Ruifeng said in surprise.
This time Diana did not reply again, but fell silent.
"Can... Tell me a little bit about your history? After hesitating for a moment, Duanmu Ruifeng asked softly.
"You want to know?"
"Of course!"
Diana nodded, as if she didn't have any concerns about these things, and directly explained to him the origin of the Amazons.
With her explanation, Duanmu Ruifeng gradually understood the history recorded by the Amazons.
Once upon a time, the gods, led by Zeus, ruled the world.
Subsequently, the gods created human beings in their own form.
At that time, human beings were just, kind, strong and enthusiastic beings, and they were very popular with God.
However, the gods' love for mankind was envied by Ares, the son of Zeus, the god of war.
Ares used jealousy, suspicion, ambition and desire to erode the human psyche, causing human beings to be hostile to each other, and war swept the whole world, and countless people were displaced and their families were destroyed because of the war.
So the gods created the Amazons, hoping that they could use love to influence humans and serve as a bridge between humans and the gods.
At first, humanity did gain a brief peace, but soon humans betrayed the Amazons.
Diana did not explain in detail about this period of history, but Duanmu Ruifeng could guess what happened during that time.
The Amazons have only women and no men, and all women are the work of the gods and are outstanding.
He could imagine how dark and desperate it would have been for the all-women Amazons.
This is probably an important reason why Diana is reluctant to tell it, which may be a scar that will never heal for the Amazons.
Then Diana's mother, Queen Hippolyta, started a rebellion to save all the Amazons, and the gods began to take matters into their own hands to protect the Amazons.
But Ares was so powerful that the gods died at his hands one by one, and even Zeus only seriously injured Ares and could not kill him completely.
After this divine war, Zeus was seriously wounded and dying, but he knew that one day in the future, Ares would surely return and destroy all of humanity.
So on his deathbed, he created the island for the Amazons, leaving them with a weapon large enough to kill Ares.
"So for us, this island is their paradise!"
After listening to the history told by Diana, Duanmu Ruifeng did not feel a sigh.
But then he said curiously as if he had thought of something.
"By the way, if Zeus has a god-killing weapon, why didn't he kill Ares himself, but thought you could do it?"
This is probably the only loophole in the whole story.
As the king of the gods, Zeus's strength is naturally unquestionable.
But even so, at the cost of his life, he still only seriously injured Ares.
Could it be that in his eyes, can there be a stronger person than him in the Amazon family?
Thinking of this, his mind couldn't help but recall Diana's outburst just now.
In an instant, he seemed to understand something, and it was as if he didn't understand anything.
However, this is only a minutiae, and he did not continue to think deeply, but thought of another question.
"The history you're talking about must have been a long time ago!"
"Yes, at that time, there was not even a complete historical record of mankind, and all that was left was a few words of myths and legends." Diana nodded and said seriously.
"In other words, your age..."Speaking of this, Duanmu Ruifeng's face involuntarily showed a strange expression.
