Sword and Magic and Taxi

Time has not left any trace on Diana's face, and her delicate and beautiful appearance is still heart-stirring. The only thing that had changed were her eyes. I remember that when we broke into the Army Ministry together in England, her eyes were full of longing and curiosity, and there was also a hint of agility that only a child can have. Now, the child has disappeared, and the light of compassion and hope is reflected in his crystal eyes.

When did you come back from Paradise Island? Zhao Mai felt that it was better to control the rhythm of the conversation in his own hands.

The latest time? Yesterday. Diana smiled slightly and replied: As soon as I came back, I heard Her Majesty the Queen's statement that she was ready to abdicate, so I came here quickly. Both Paradise Island and the Justice World Alliance are very concerned about Wakanda. What’s the next step? We are also worried that vibranium, a substance like this, will lose control and fall into the hands of bad people, threatening the security and peace of the world.”

You know that's not what I want to know.

Okay then. Mike, while it's up to you how you increase your power, you've gone too far down that path. It's hard for me to forget those bugs, and you in the cocoon Just as I will not forget the sweet time we had together. But I hope that the two of us can return to the level of friends and comrades-in-arms. I have written to you, but you have not replied, which makes me very sad.

I haven't seen your letter. Zhao Mai looked at Diana.

Diana shook her head and responded, You know that's not what I want to know.

It seems that you have made up your mind, and I am indeed unwilling to do so. But if I were to do it again, whether to change myself and save you from the vast universe or watch everyone slowly die in human form, I would still choose now This path. This is not the best ending, but what can be perfect? ​​I am indeed unwilling, but I respect your ideas. Friends and comrades are not bad. Maybe one day you figure it out, things will be okay again. It’s different. Maybe you’ll change your mind about loving only humans.”

Diana blinked her eyes and trembled her long eyelashes: You are quite confident, but I will only choose human beings, so you are the only one who can change it. And, for someone with such great powers like you, next time I You will definitely be particularly careful. There will be no shortage of girls around you, and you probably won’t miss me anymore... Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. You know me, I know you, and of course Her Majesty Queen Dojian. We all know each other well, so I think your decision to abdicate is a bit too hasty. Wakanda has developed very well over the years, which is really a pity.

Aren't you here to persuade Duojian to abdicate?

Of course not! I am not a pursuer of power and interests! Diana seemed to feel insulted. She said: After the world war, the turmoil has not stopped, and this time you are affected. I am not like those utopians. I don’t think there is anything wrong with the queen’s form of rule. My paradise island is also ruled by the queen! So is the Commonwealth! The key is not to look at the form, but to look at the actual life of the vast majority of its citizens. At this point, Wakanda has already done Very good.

Dogian will be very happy to hear this.

She will be happy in front of you, but never in front of me. She is very loyal to you. This is why she has rejected my request for an interview fifty times. Diana said: From etiquette, I should go to her , but she doesn’t want to see me, and therefore doesn’t want to see anyone in the alliance. It’s just to do something practical as soon as possible, so I came to you. Do you have any plans for vibranium?”

Zhao Mai can understand the reason why Duojian doesn't want to see Diana. Zhao Mai and Diana broke up after all, and Dojian felt that this was the harm Diana had done to Zhao Mai. She comes from Athas, which is, after all, a slavery society where the strong is supreme, and it is a common and correct concept that the strong own the weak. Therefore, Diana's dumping of Zhao Mai was unacceptable to her.

The thinking of people from other worlds, the thinking of demigods on Paradise Island, and the thinking of people in the future world. Zhao Mai cannot get entangled in this kind of thing, and it is impossible to settle the worldview dispute. Compared with the subjective world, objective issues are much easier to deal with: Vibranium does not have evil or good attributes, and people who use it may have it. The current situation is very clear. The goal of those who want to overthrow Dojian is just to invigorate the world. Jin and himself are in power. There are too many outsiders in Wakanda now. Their abilities may not be a threat to me, but they are not so to ordinary people, and it is this group of people who will not give up. What I can say now It’s actually very simple: We are willing to negotiate, but it must be with the Wakandans who have the final say. Regardless of whether the power is strong or weak, or righteous or evil, this is an internal matter within Wakanda, and people from outside should not try to interfere.”

Including me?

To be precise, it includes the Justice Earth Alliance. But why is the word Earth added? Are there people who manage other planets?

Come to think of it, the name is quite long-winded. Ah! You're leading me astray with your wild thoughts again! Diana wrinkled her nose slightly as she hummed. What if those people who are not from Wakanda don't leave?

Zhao Mai did not answer, but looked at Diana with a smile on his face.

Mike, it has only been a dozen years since the World War, and it was just a battle between ordinary people. If people with superpowers fight, the harm will be immeasurable. I know you also love peace, and so does Duojian. , and Duojian’s announcement of peaceful abdication is also to reduce the possible harm of the war to civilians. You and Duojian are both very capable people. If you can join the alliance, then there will be more opportunities for peace.

You were right about one thing before, that is, this turmoil was not caused by Wakanda, but was affected by the changes in French politics. This place used to be a French colony, and when it was sold to us, no vibration was found. Gold. Now using the suspicion of bribery as an excuse to declare Dorjian's land purchase illegal, isn't the purpose of taking back this colony? Dorjian and I decided to hand over land power to the Wakandans, which is the last thing we want to do. The one who saw this scene is actually France. You just mentioned war. In fact, if France falls into war, then my place will be very quiet and peaceful, and there will be no such messy things at all. As for your alliance, I advise you It’s better to quit as soon as possible. You have always been a woman with independent character and ability. Others should join you, not you joining others.”

I'll think about it, Diana said.

The world is starting to become strange. Zhao Mai considered the words and said as a friend and comrade: I think the situation will soon become chaotic, and the final result is likely to be a war, a world-level war, tragic war. The vibranium in Wakanda is not wealth at all, but the source of trouble. If what I see is peace, then I will definitely develop well, but what I see now is only the coming war and troubled times. said To put it bluntly, Dojian and I are just colonists, and the people of Wakanda must decide their own destiny.

But strong men like you and me should set an example for them. Isn't that what gods do?

Not entirely.
