Sword and Magic and Taxi

The occasion was unprecedented.

If we rank them from boring to joyful, then A Man Came to the Island can basically be ranked in the too fun category. Two men, one of whom was a strange-looking dwarf could be slightly taller. Playing with a man has risen to the level of the festival celebration, and the person who is beaten is cute Diana's former partner is enough to completely detonate the island.

The entire island is filled with Amazons who do not age. Among them, there is only one girl who grew up from a baby state, and that is Diana. Theoretically, although the people on the island all look beautiful, and some can maintain the appearance of young girls forever - even looking younger than Diana - they are all Diana's elders . There is a saying called seven aunts and eight aunts to describe the chaos of many relatives. Imagine expanding this number ten times, a hundred times, eight hundred times...

Thank God Zhao Mai said don't waste too much time, so the scale of this competition was downgraded from the Olympic Games to a three-round competition on the competition ground. The girls were divided into two waves, and more than a hundred of them knew that their fighting skills still needed to be honed, so they reluctantly but deftly prepared for the ceremony to call Athena. They received preferential treatment and were given front-row seats in the arena. There are more than 11,000 people who are quickly selecting two contestants through elimination. As the queen of Paradise Island, Hippolyta has the power to directly appoint someone to die. Of course, this was the result of a compromise between royal power and democracy. Originally, she wanted to appoint three people directly, but public opinion was not like this.

I think you are very popular, my lord. Tyrion was holding a glass of red wine and wearing a pointed hat with a wide brim (a very Mexican style) with many fruits in the brim. Tyrion used his psychic powers to pull a grape and eat a red fruit, and he was freed from the Legion Mushroom Hell on Venus.

Stop making sarcastic remarks, or I will send you to the end. Zhao Mai said to Tyrion: We agreed to have a fair fight in the martial arts arena, so your height will eliminate everyone on the entire island, and you will definitely not win without a fight. Sheng, what do you think?

If you let me play, then I will go. After all, you are my lord. Of course, I will definitely lose, and you need to win all three games.

Don't you need to save some face for them and let them win? Zhao Mai said habitually: We are guests after all.

They won't look down upon you if you lose. They won't look down upon you until you win. Tyrion swung the glass and said to Zhao Mai: I went outside and walked around and talked to a lot of people. . I betrayed some of your intelligence and got some information back. I sincerely advise you to win all three games and never lose.

Okay, then I'll win everything.

Zhao Mai and Tyrion were arranged in Diana's former room, while Diana went to her mother's room. The entire island has always been closed, there have never been tourists - only intruders, so there are no guest rooms at all. And for a while, no suitable person could be found to temporarily move out and vacate the room. While Hippolyta was worried that the room was not of sufficient standard to receive His Majesty the Dragon King, she was also worried that the sisters on the island would take the opportunity to do something. She thought about it, and since Diana's room had always been empty, she gave it to Zhao Mai and the two of them, and she happened to keep her daughter by her side.

This room contains things that Diana has used in the past, from her little clothes, her little shield, her little bow, and stacks of books. Anthologies of various languages, poems, and histories, as well as numerous books on fighting, army organization, battlefield planning, and the art of war. Zhao Mai also found a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War from the pile of books, which he gave to Tyrion to read.

I heard Dogian talk about this book, but she hasn't copied it to me yet. Tyrion put down the wine glass, took off his hat, and walked to the window sill with the book. Taking advantage of the bright sunshine outside, he was immersed in reading. In happiness.

Anyway, he has the language translator of the Alliance of Rings, so he can definitely understand it. How much he understands depends on the individual's level. Zhao Mai didn't dare to go to the window sill because he could always see a large number of beauties gathering. Although the chirping of Yingying and Yanyan was beautiful, he always felt like he was being visited and felt a little embarrassed.

Hey, here are the paintings of Diana when she was a child! Zhao Mai found the treasure, sat down cross-legged and began to admire it. Although the writing style is immature, it can be seen that this is a set of story paintings, probably the plot of Diana defeated various monsters and protected mankind. This is the education she received since she was a child. Whether she is an Amazon or a demigod, she must love humans, protect humans, and bring peace to humans - leaving the battle to herself.

Zhao Mai gradually understood why the Amazon race is obviously a warrior, but it claims to be the messenger of peace. They never start a war and will only fight for the survival of the weak. Protecting civilians affected by war is more important than winning the battle. If heroes are only judged by victory or defeat, they may not always be heroes, but they will always gain respect and gratitude on the battlefield.

If it is for this goal, then they are indeed very noble, so I should take the three games seriously. Zhao Mai made this determination after thinking about it. I saw them in high spirits before, as if they were shopping at a mall sale, so I took this matter too simply. No, I can't stay here, I have to go to the competition ground to have a look.

Zhao Mai, who is serious, will never mind peeping, especially when the female warriors are in the elimination round. He can just go and see the Amazons' martial arts. It would be better if he can learn them. Of course, if someone stops him and says, Looking is not allowed here, then he will leave and find a way to peek.

Your Majesty, Mike left the room and went...to the area where the girls are most densely packed.

Before Hippolyta could say anything, Diana beside her snapped the flower stem in her hand. Didn't he appear at the window just now and then hide in the house? Why did he dare to go out at this time?

He is better than that pilot Steve. After all, he does not stand on the balcony and regard himself as the scenery. Hippolyta asked: What is his friend Tyrion doing?

Oh, he was reading a book by the window, which seemed to be The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

That was probably what Mike found in your book and gave it to him. He is Chinese after all.

Ah! He will see my picture album! Diana exclaimed, Mom, did you leave the picture album where it was?

Of course, I didn't move your room. Hippolyta said, Don't worry, didn't he go out now? By the way, what did he go out to do?

He went to the martial arts arena to watch everyone's elimination matches, and he was very interested in watching us fight. The female warrior said, He seems to be learning our martial arts.

It's so inappropriate to go see our ladies! Wait, what did you say, he is learning martial arts? Diana was suddenly stunned.

Yes, he seemed absent-minded. I mean, we greeted him, and he responded politely, but his reply was a bit mechanical. He seemed to be focused on the competition, and he imitated our movements while watching. It’s impossible for him to learn the Amazon’s complicated martial arts skills like this, it’s just a waste of time!”

Diana's anger and awkwardness disappeared, and she said with a relaxed smile: That's not necessarily the case. He can definitely learn it if he wants to.
