"What are you doing here?"

After learning that Luke was a man, the girl had a look of surprise on her face.

She stared at the other person carefully and subconsciously wanted to reach out her hand, but immediately retracted it.

"Baking in the sun."

Luke shrugged and said with a smile, "I don't mind being touched by a beautiful girl."

Hearing this answer, the girl took two steps back, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

"It's a trap, right?"

She suddenly became serious and took a defensive posture.

"I deliberately used you as bait to make me relax my guard, and then I fell into the trap and became your prey!"

Luke The corners of his mouth twitched. What kind of brain circuit is this?

Amazonians's ideas, are they all so strange?

"Why do you feel that way?"

Luke sat up and asked with interest.

"I have hunting experience! Don't try to deceive me! My mother and others say I am very smart!"

The girl seemed more sure of her inner guess, clenching her two small fists, ready to fight back at any time.

So she thinks I'm some kind of dangerous carnivore?

Luke covered his forehead, expressing that it was a bit difficult to communicate with the other party.

He patiently spent a long time explaining the difference between "man" and "Beast" - although under certain circumstances, their essences are similar.

"Did you come from outside?"

The girl sat cross-legged on the beach, tilting her head and looking at Luke. Her little head was thinking, what is the difference between men and Amazonians?

"Can I touch you?"

After thinking hard and getting no answer, she made a strange request that made people think.

"Well, only the upper body."

Luke scratched his head, feeling guilty about deceiving a child.

For Wonder Woman, who has never produced Paradise Island and has never met a man, her mind is indeed no different from that of a child in this regard.

That's right.

The girl in front of her had neat long braids.

The limbs are strong and strong, full of youthful vitality.

That delicate face is like the most perfect creation of God.

Coupled with the pair of silver bracelets that exude an extraordinary aura, Luke can easily determine the identity of the other party.

Diana-Prince, Wonder Woman, Amazon Princess... She has many origins.

First, the clay figures made of Amazon Queen Hippolyta are given life and soul by the Greek gods.

The second is that Zeus's illegitimate daughter has demigod blood.

No matter which one, Wonder Woman has the talents given by Olympian Gods, such as the power of nature given by the agricultural lady Demeter, which makes her comparable to powerful people such as Superman and Shazam.

Athena, the goddess of wisdom, bestows insight and is immune to most Mind Stone attacks and mental manipulation.

Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, gave the gods amazing beauty...

And so on.

Therefore, Wonder Woman is completely another Superman in Justice League.

In addition, her standard equipment is "Lasso of Truth", "Bracelets of Glory", "God Killer Sword", "Aegis Shield", "Tiara of Light", etc. made by Vulcan Hephaestus.

A luxurious artifact!

So Luke could confirm that she was Wonder Woman just by glancing at the silver bracelet on the girl's hand.

"Why only the upper body?"

The girl Diana is like a book called "One Hundred Thousand Whys", constantly asking questions.

"Because... if there are agreed-upon rules in the human world, if someone touches the whole body, that person will be responsible for the other person."

Luke thought for a long time and tried hard to explain.

"Then I will be responsible for you."

The girl Diana thought of things like contracts and oaths, and said seriously.

"Uh, thank you."

Luke The corners of his mouth twitched again.

"It feels like it's not much different from us."

The girl Diana poked and poked a little bit, and after satisfying her curiosity, she said this.

What a huge difference!

Luke resisted the urge to teach Wonder Woman about gender issues. He looked at the snow-white skin and the bottomless arc of ravines before his eyes and felt that the difference between men and women was actually quite obvious.

At least he doesn't have such exaggerated pecs.

"I want to take you to see Amazon Queen, which is my mother."

The girl Diana thought for a while and decided to take back the man who was the first to board Paradise Island.

"Anyway, you just said you have nowhere to go, right?"

Luke thought for a moment, and he didn't mind meeting Amazon Queen.

I'm just a little worried whether the other party will take out Lasso of Truth and give me the whole bundle to play.

Although it has the mental resistance of Magic Superman, plus its own Skyfather power.

You may not fall into the trap and be bewitched by the divine power of Olympus.

But the basic awareness of prevention must still be maintained.

"Is this a meeting with parents?"

Luke made a joke that Diana couldn't understand, and then replied, "At the moment, I really have nowhere to go, but I have to figure out... some issues."

"Like, what world is this?"

He stood up, patted the gravel on his body, and shook his head to reject the other party's proposal.

Marvel Universe and Cosmic Entities, they gave very limited information. They only said that the studio next door is undergoing a brand new transformation and will undergo huge changes.

Other than that, nothing was explained.

Luke Until now, I still don't know which era I am in.

Many conclusions can be drawn from the fact that Wonder Woman has not yet emerged from Paradise Island.

For example, World War I period.

According to the original plot, a pilot named Steve-Trevor will crash into Paradise Island, and then take Diana to the outside world.

Or maybe it was another time.

He appears in the origin story of Wonder Woman. Anyway, there are various possibilities.

"You want to leave Paradise Island?"

The girl Diana is a little unhappy, like a child who has lost a novel toy that she just got.

"What's the outside world like?"

Her clear eyes flashed, showing a look of longing.

"Well, it's hard to describe..."

Luke randomly picked some interesting things and told them vividly to Diana.

In fact, Paradise Island has a collection of books about the human world. Amazonians understands the outside world and outside knowledge through reading books.

But the introduction on paper is not as good as what a human being says in person.

"Then can you take me with you?"

The girl Diana listened quietly, and suddenly had the urge to go to the human world.

Paradise Island is very beautiful, but staying here all year round is a bit boring for her.

"This is back to the original Qidian. It is impossible for me to take your daughter away from your mother, who is Amazon Queen, without telling her."

Luke smiled. If he abducted the girl Diana into the human world, he would probably attract the Greek gods to pursue her.

There is also wanted Paradise Island!

You must know that this island, which is actually named "Themyscira", has another name - Shrew Island.

Amazonians is similar to Asgard from Marvel Universe in that it also has an extremely powerful physique and a long lifespan.

They are all powerful female warriors and will never lose to Asgardian.

As a stowaway, Luke didn't want to cause a big disturbance when he first entered this world.

"Why are you afraid of my mother? Don't want to see her?"

The girl Diana was confused, blinked her eyes, and looked at Luke.

Although he knew that this was an aggressive move, Superman still couldn't hold it back.

When had he ever been afraid!

"Okay, Diana, take me to see the queen of Amazon, but I guess your mother won't allow you to leave here."

Luke took the initiative to step into Amazon Princess's verbal trap. Perhaps from Hippolyta's mouth, he could know what the world is like.

After reaching a consensus, Diana took Luke through the magnificent ancient Greek city-state buildings.

Along the way, female warriors who were fully armed, wearing armor and holding spears were fighting and fighting with each other.

When they saw Amazon Princess walking side by side with a man, they all had incredible looks in their eyes.

The unabashed look of surprise, as if he had seen some rare creature, made the calm and calm Luke a little unbearable.

Amazonians lives in Paradise Island.

This giant island isolated from the world was created by the five goddesses of Olympus Mountain, and later became the residence of the Amazon tribe who believed in the earth goddess Gaia.

Since it has been isolated from the world for thousands of years, no one has broken into this paradise-like island.

Amazonians living on the island has never seen a real "male". For them, man is just a word that exists in books.

"I suddenly felt a little scared... will they eat me?"

Luke was joking.

He couldn't help but be curious. Amazonians were all female, so how should they... reproduce?

Or, are they all gay?

"Amazonians are all kind and brave warriors. They will not eat people, and - I will protect you!"

The innocent and simple girl Diana said with her head held high, obviously not understanding that it was just a joke.

Growing up in Paradise Island, which is similar to a feminist society, when Diana communicates with this young man who calls himself a traveler, this kind of dumbfounding situation always occurs.

This is caused by the huge differences between the two civilizations. Amazon Princess is not like the girls Luke once knew.

She is more like a brave and unyielding warrior, advocating justice and fair fighting, and respecting warriors and strong men.

Under this layer of identity, she is a young girl who is ignorant of the world.

After enduring those blazing Heat Vision tests, Luke stepped into a majestic palace.

There are ancient Greek-style column buildings here, with complex patterns carved on the tall columns.

Like surging waves, like swaying flames, delicate and elegant, the whole is full of harmony and perfection.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and Diana took the lead to step forward.

A charming mature woman was sitting on the throne. She was lowering her head and talking to a tall woman wearing armor next to her.

Amazon Princess rushed over and hugged her mother, pressing her cheek to her face affectionately and whispering in her ear.

"Human, do you call yourself a traveler?"

After listening to everything, Amazon Queen looked at the young man who was the first to break into Paradise Island.

Hippolyta looked at the other party with a scrutinizing gaze. As Amazon Queen, she was once a demigod strong enough to stand alongside the gods of Olympus Mountain.

The calm eyes carry unparalleled majesty, like roaring thunder, with the power to shock people's hearts, and the beautiful face makes people dare not blaspheme.

Under her eyes, mortals would only tell the truth with trepidation.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Luke learned the noble status of the person sitting on the seat, bowed slightly and saluted gracefully.

"I set off from North America and drifted around the world on ships, admiring the customs and customs of different countries. Life was too mediocre, and the adventurous life on the ocean was so rich and colorful that I couldn't let it go."

"Not long ago, I went to explore the glorious history of ancient Greece. Unfortunately, I encountered a storm near the Aegean Sea and drifted here along the ocean current."

Luke's tone is sincere and his eyes are calm.

It was as if all this had really happened, and he was indeed a traveler who had the misfortune to encounter a storm.

"Outsiders, Paradise Island is not the place you should come. This is Amazonians's home."

Hippolyta said calmly, but she did not dispel her doubts. Even the gods of Olympus have heard about the complexity and change of human beings.

"I'm sorry to disturb your peaceful life. I will swear to the gods that I will never say a word about this place."

Luke made a serious promise, but he was eager to return to human society to see what time point he had landed in.

"Hera, I'm glad you can keep our secret."

Hippolyta smiled, seemingly satisfied with the answer.

"In return, we will return you to the human world."

Luke nodded, Amazon Queen should not believe in himself so easily.

It's just that for some purpose, the other party did not use a more brutal method.

Hippolyta stood up, with a luxurious and soft dark golden robe draped around her body, outlining her slim figure, complementing her daughter who was full of health and liveliness next to her.

Because Paradise Island is blessed by the five goddesses, Amazonians has an eternal appearance and is immortal.

Her Royal Highness the Queen has not been damaged by the years and still maintains her charming charm, like a plump and sweet fruit.

Looking at it this way, Zeus, who is sowing seeds all over the world, has a pretty good eye.

"We still need to discuss when to send you back to the human world. Diana will arrange a place for you. It's best not to wander around again. Traveler, Paradise Island is not a world where humans live. It has many dangerous places."

The elegant Amazon Queen watched the outsider and her daughter leave. The afterglow of the setting sun shone from the sea level. Only she and another tall female warrior were left in the huge and empty towering palace.

"Antiope, what do you think of this man who broke into Paradise Island?"

The queen asked the person beside her.

This tall female warrior with a cold temperament is the only general on Paradise Island and the bravest warrior on Amazonians.

When Hippolyta encounters questions or hesitates, he usually asks for her opinion.

"Not honest enough, but not like a liar, nor does he look like one of those weak humans."

The female general spoke frankly about her inner feelings, her resolute face seemed to be covered with cold frost.

Hippolyta nodded, and she recalled the scene where Luke met.

The other party's body was tall and straight, full of calmness and calmness, without the slightest hint of panic or surprise.

It was as if the scene in front of him was like a myth and legend, completely unable to shake his inner peace.

There was even a hint of mystery in his deep eyes.

He really doesn't look like an ordinary person.

She thought so.

"This outsider is not the real threat we face, the human world is."

Hippolyta's expression became solemn and his voice became deeper.

"After a long period of time, Amazonians can no longer be independent from the world. Sooner or later, humans will discover the existence of Paradise Island. We must make things develop in a good direction."

"We need to communicate with the outside world and have a white dove messenger to go out of Paradise Island and spread the peace of Amazonians in the human world."

The Queen looked at the setting sun sinking into the sea, her calm mind like ripples on the water as seagulls pass by.
