Chapter 168 Going to London
Although Ethan won't worry about whether he is a human or not, he doesn't want to become a monster - just in terms of appearance.
From the moment he set foot on the road of the mage, he knew that he would gradually break away from the category of 'human' in the future. He was not sure what he would become in the end, but on the outside he still hoped to be 'normal', if the price was Become a monster, even if the benefits are great, he may choose to give up and choose another path that may be more troublesome.
"It is necessary to avoid side effects and conflicts as much as possible, even if the effect is reduced, it is not unacceptable."
Ethan's goals are too many and too messy, and they come from different worlds. He is not sure how these things will mix together. Some worlds have not been visited by themselves and can only be planned from the resources currently in hand.
After thinking about it all night, when he recovered, the sun had already risen from the sea level, Ethan on the reclining chair quietly waited for the sky to become brighter, got up directly from the chair, and simply went to wash. , and then sat on the wooden chair outside, waiting for Diana to arrive.
He knew that Diana wouldn't wait too long at all. She had been looking forward to this day from the day she learned about her mission.
Now that she can leave Paradise Island and have some clues to find Ares, every extra minute of waiting is a torment for her.
As expected by Ethan, just as the sky became brighter, Diana appeared in front of Ethan.
Looking at Ethan who seemed to be waiting for him on purpose, Diana wondered how long he had been sitting here?
"Your shirt is wet with dew."
In the morning on Paradise Island, the humidity was very heavy, and Ethan didn't have a fire or anything, and many places on his clothes were soaked with dew. Originally, he wanted to wait for Diana's arrival and pretend to be an expert, but he accidentally smashed it.
"Your power of observation has become stronger."
Changed to Diana from a few years ago, she would never notice this. With the increase of age, the calmness of her personality and the improvement of her abilities, Diana now can discover many details that she would have ignored before.
"So this so-called test is not difficult for me at all."
She firmly believes that she can find Ares, defeat Ares and destroy Ares, the biggest enemy of this paradise island, the difficulty that must be solved in her destiny.
Ethan was looking at Diana up and down. At this time, Diana was very different from her usual appearance. Her hair that she liked to be tied together was loose on weekdays, and she was wearing the golden red armor that he was very familiar with. Wearing the same headgear.
"You wouldn't want to go out dressed like this, would you?"
"What?" Diana looked down at herself, and then turned around in front of Ethan: "What's wrong with wearing it like this?"
She thinks that this armor is very good, has excellent defense, is comfortable to wear and won't affect her movements, and doesn't understand what's wrong?
"There is a big difference between the outside world and Paradise Island. If you dress like this and walk in a crowd, there will be no other result than attracting a crowd of onlookers."
Logan and Steve also got up and came out of the house. Of course, there is also Laura, she has long been awake, but only came out after being caught by Logan and asked her to wash her face and brush her teeth obediently.
"Ethan is right, if you dress like this... it's really eye-catching." Steve can now tell that the people on Paradise Island live a secluded life, they are more like a group of 'Uncivilized' indigenous people, while Ethan and Rogge should live in a normal environment. Although they understand magical means such as magic, they are relatively modern people like themselves.
He didn't know, in Ethan's eyes, Steve was also an 'indigenous'. In him, Steve was at most an old man who was born in modern times and lived in a past era. He wanted to be a modern person with himself. Unless Steve lives to a hundred years from now.
"Then what should I wear?"
Diana didn't know what kind of clothes to wear in the outside world, and hoped that Ethan could give a suggestion, but it gave Ethan a headache.
"I have a few replacements in hand, not sure if you're wearing it properly."
Diana is tall and tall, so don't worry too much about the length of the pants, but the spare clothes in Ethan's hands are also a bit different from this era, and they will also attract attention after wearing them.
"Try it first."
I took out a few T-shirts and jeans, and found another set of clothes such as training clothes, and let Diana try them on one by one. In the end, I found that Diana was very eye-catching no matter which set she wore. Especially in the training uniform, if you give her another set of firearms...
"This set is nice, comfortable to wear and easy to move around."
She herself just thought the suit was very comfortable, but Ethan rejected this choice. Because it was too eye-catching, Diana finally put on a relatively ordinary shirt and jeans, and matched her with a pair of black-rimmed glasses to try to hide her stunning appearance.
"It looks...at least it's less eye-catching."
Logan and Steve also think so. Jeans are not a rare thing in this era, and no one will think that Diana's dress is special.
Diana adjusted her clothes and pants. She was tall and not a slender figure like a skeleton, but she would still feel loose when wearing men's clothes. She had never worn glasses before, and there were many things on her face that felt strange.
"Can you not wear this?"
"Wear it, this thing has some other functions, which may need to be used sometimes."
"What function?"
This pair of glasses is of course obtained from Tony Stark, one of the black technology props in the box. Ethan wants more than one pair of glasses. Although the functions are similar, there are still some differences in appearance, which is convenient for different Choose to use on occasion.
In addition to detecting various energies and reactions, it can also perform short-distance communication. Ethan, who also uses glasses, can also 'data share' with Diana, and see Diana through his glasses. of all conditions.
"It's very convenient."
Ethan didn't shy away from Steve when he introduced it, so the captain was also shocked when he knew that these seemingly inconspicuous glasses had such a powerful function.
"Is this also a product made by magic?"
Ethan looked back at Steve, and gave an answer that he couldn't accept at all: "No, this is a technology product." Although there are some magical ideas in it, Tony Stark used a lot of comparisons. Magic is also magic black technology, but it is indeed a pure technological product.
"This... technology has become so powerful?"
After all, Steve didn't specialize in researching these things. He was just shocked by the development of technology, and Ethan would not explain it to him.
After solving the problem of clothes, Steve is not most concerned about high technology, but the way to go to London.
When the group packed up and came to the pier of Paradise Island, looking at the small sailboat in front of them, Steve seemed a little confused.
"this one?"
Diana didn't understand what was wrong and looked at Steve strangely.
Logan on the side pressed his eyebrows and complained to Ethan: "Why do you still have to take a sailboat when you get here? And it's still such a small sailboat."
Ethan's Dawning Goddess is not a problem. Although it is a sailboat, the displacement is placed there, and it is relatively stable at sea. The space on the ship is spacious enough, and it will not feel uncomfortable in life.
What is this in front of me? The front and back are less than ten meters long, with a mast, and some food and water are piled up on the boat. The whole boat can allow them to move around in very little space. It is not bad to have a place to lie down, let alone move around. .
"To get to London on such a ship... it seems we're going to have to suffer a lot."
Ethan also felt that his cheeks were twitching. It's not that he couldn't bear hardships, that's how he endured hardships. However, he worked hard to improve his strength and accumulated enough wealth in order to keep himself from suffering.
As a result, after being busy for a long time, I found that I was going to suffer again, and it was inevitable that I would be a little irritable.
"Be patient!"
Ethan glanced back into the distance. Although he couldn't see anything strange from here, he knew that Hippolyta was hiding in a corner, paying attention to Diana, who was busy.
When the cable was untied, the sail was unfurled, and the boat slowly began to leave the small pier, Diana, who was standing at the stern, also looked in that direction, and Ethan knew that she had also found her mother came to see him.
Logan has enough experience, even if he notices it, he will not show it, not to mention that he and Diana are not too familiar. Laura and Xiao Ou honestly found a corner and sat there. Ethan knew that Diana didn't need consolation, and that Wonder Woman was stronger than many.
Steve is the busiest. He is using a compass and a map to locate his position, but he has been busy for a long time with no results.
Looking at Steve, who was getting more and more impatient, Ethan had to remind him: "You can't locate your position until you leave the enchantment range around Paradise Island."
"Enchantment?"
Ethan pointed to the distance: "Did you notice anything strange when the plane crashed?"
"What strange thing?"
"You'll see it soon."
It didn't take long for Steve to realize something strange. When they sailed to a distance of about a thousand meters from Paradise Island, they seemed to pass through some transparent wall.
If this feeling may be his own illusion, when Steve finds that the sunny day has suddenly become a lot gloomier, even the dullest person can realize that something is wrong.
Especially when he looked back at Paradise Island, he found that there was no trace of Paradise Island in his sight, and there was nothing where the island should have been.
