"Tell me the truth, how long have you been training?"
In the palace, Hippolyta looked at little Diana with a serious expression.
Little Diana bit her lower lip, tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't answer.
Hippolyta's eyes became fierce, and just when she was about to continue questioning, a helpless voice sounded out of nowhere.
"alright."
As the voice came, a tall figure appeared behind little Diana and placed his big hand gently on her head.
Little Diana seemed to have found an outlet to vent her grievances. She turned around, hugged Lin Zhongtian's arm, and sobbed softly.
"Look how scared the child is..." Lin Zhongtian looked at Hippolyta in reproach, then rubbed little Diana's head and chuckled, "I taught this child for about a month!"
"She is very talented and hardworking. She has made great progress in just one month..."
Looking at Lin Zhongtian with a relieved look on his face, Hippolyta couldn't help but look stunned.
"Your Majesty, why is it you?!"
"Why can't it be me?"
Lin Zhongtian glanced at her, and then suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, stop pretending. Don't worry, I won't tell her Diana's true identity. As I said just now, I really like this child and I really want to teach her something. Just don't worry about it..."
Hippolyta was shocked by Lin Zhongtian's blunt revelation and quickly looked at Diana who was leaning in Lin Zhongtian's arms.
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as I want, she won't be able to hear our conversation."
Even after getting Lin Zhongtian's assurance, Hippolyta was still worried and couldn't help but whispered, "Diana?"
Diana did not react, but just held Lin Zhongtian's arm and continued to vent her inner grievances.
Hippolyta finally felt relieved and asked softly, "Do you mean that Ares will really come back in the future?"
Lin Zhong glanced at her and didn't reply.
But Hippolyta took this as a tacit agreement.
"I see." Hippolyta sighed, "If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do."
"Your Majesty is willing to teach Diana how to fight. It is Diana's luck, and it is also the luck of our Paradise Island and the Amazons. I will no longer stop Diana from receiving training. Your Majesty can bring her to Paradise Island openly..."
Before she finished her words, Diana's sobbing stopped abruptly.
She turned around suddenly and looked at Hippolyta with surprise on her face.
"Really?"
Hippolyta was startled and quickly looked towards Lin Zhongtian.
Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, gave her a relieved look, and then said leisurely: "Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, with Diana's current strength, your island may find it difficult to bear it."
...Is it that exaggerated?
Hippolyta looked surprised and couldn't help looking at little Diana.
Little Diana quickly assured: "Teacher, I will work hard to practice the art of holding my breath, please let me train on Paradise Island!"
Lin Zhongtian thought for a moment and said seriously, "No more than half an hour a day. The rest of the time you still have to train in the mirror space."
"Yeah, teacher, you're the best!"
Little Diana nodded repeatedly, then excitedly buried her head in Lin Zhongtian's arms, acting coquettishly.
But soon she realized that her mother Hippolyta was also here, so her face turned red and she quickly let go of her hand.
And Hippolyta was actually very happy to see this scene.
If Lin Zhongtian could really establish a close relationship with Diana, and even interfere in Diana's fate for this purpose, that would naturally be the best!
Lin Zhongtian saw Diana's embarrassment and smiled to help: "It seems that Her Majesty the Queen doesn't believe in your strength... Come, show your mother the results of your training!"
Diana became excited again after hearing this, and quickly ran to the wall, ready to open her mother's eyes.
Hippolyta was also very curious and immediately stared at Diana's movements without blinking.
Diana took a horse stance, took a deep breath, and suddenly a strong golden light emerged from her whole body.
The next second, with Diana's delicate cry, her small fist swung out instantly, and a rich golden light condensed, like a golden pillar supporting the sky, and it hit the solid wall with a loud bang.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and an irregular hole with a diameter of about three or four meters appeared on the wall.
The edges were covered with spider-web-like cracks, and stone brick fragments were constantly falling down.
Diana retracted the golden light in her body, put her hands on her hips, and looked at Hippolyta proudly.
Before on the beach, she didn't use her full strength, so she only cracked the boulder but didn't break it.
But now, she used the golden light spell taught by her teacher, and with just one punch, she pierced through the wall protected by the magic spell.
The power displayed by the two is vastly different and cannot be compared.
As expected, Hippolyta was shocked when she saw the broken palace wall.
She could see that Diana did not mobilize the divine power in her body with this punch. She only relied on her physical strength and the mysterious golden light to smash the magic-protected palace walls into pieces.
Hippolyta came back to her senses and couldn't help but look at Lin Zhongtian in astonishment.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
"This is a hidden power that everyone has. I just channeled it out of Diana..."
Lin Zhongtian smiled and explained the Eastern theory of the human body and Qi training, but Hippolyta obviously didn't quite understand.
This highlights how powerful the blessing of the Goddess of Wisdom is.
Even with such a huge cultural gap, Diana was still able to guide out the golden light in her body within just one month.
This level of talent and understanding is not common even in the Time Travelers Alliance.
…
After this incident, Diana finally got her mother's approval.
Although she could only train in the mirror space most of the time, she would show off her skills from time to time in the martial arts training ground of Paradise Island, and each time she would win the applause of her fellow tribesmen.
Time flies by in the peaceful daily life.
One summer later, something unusual happened on Paradise Island.
An Amazon warrior is pregnant...
This kind of thing is a happy event worth celebrating in any long-lived race.
But Paradise Island and the Amazons are clearly somewhat different.
Since the Amazons are all women, if one of them is pregnant, it means that someone is hiding an outsider, and it is most likely a human male.
Hippolyta took the matter seriously. She imprisoned the pregnant Amazon warrior and ordered someone to take good care of her. She then forced the foreign man to drink a potion that could make him forget.
When he had completely forgotten the memory of Paradise Island and the Amazons, Hippolyta expelled him from Paradise Island.
Lin Zhongtian did not interfere with Hippolyta's decision, but just watched silently.
He knew that Hippolyta had shown mercy by not executing the human man outright.
As the saying goes, don't advise others to be good unless you have experienced their suffering.
Lin Zhongtian knew the past of the Amazons, and naturally he was also aware of the deep-rooted hatred between them and humans.
In order to provoke war, Ares, the god of war, seduced many human heroes.
The most powerful among them is the son of Zeus, the strongest demigod - Hercules.
As the strongest hero among humans, Hercules is a very important part of Ares' plan.
He instigated Hercules to start a war with the Amazons. The war lasted for a long time. In the end, humans, led by Hercules, defeated the Amazons and enslaved all the Amazons.
As the most perfect creation of Zeus, the Amazons have beautiful appearance as their most basic characteristic.
Once such a race of beauties is enslaved by humans, the fate and consequences are self-evident...
In short, after a period of darkness, the hopelessly powerful Hercules finally died in a conspiracy.
The Amazons saw an opportunity and launched a rebellion under the leadership of Hippolyta, the current Amazon Queen, and took the opportunity to free all the enslaved Amazons.
From then on, the freed Amazons began to hate humans, especially men.
They even abandoned all the male babies born from their union with humans, and only accepted female babies to become the new Amazon tribe.
As far as Lin Zhongtian knew, those abandoned baby boys were sent to the god of fire Hephaestus and became his believers and servants.
Hephaestus, the god of fire, is the only remaining Olympian god after Ragnarok and an ally with close ties to Themyscira.
Many artifacts, including the Sword of Vulcan, were created by the god of fire Hephaestus, who sent his believers to Paradise Island.
According to Hippolyta, the god of fire Hephaestus lived in seclusion in a volcano somewhere in Europe, where he enjoyed forging all day long and did not care about worldly affairs.
Lin Zhongtian was very interested in the God of Fire and Forging, so he planned to meet him before leaving to see if he could get some knowledge about forging artifacts from him.
Or just trick him over and make him a formal employee of the Time Travelers Alliance.
But no one in the world knows in which volcano the god of fire Hephaestus lives.
Even Lin Zhongtian can only use the exhaustive method to search, or wait for an opportunity on Paradise Island.
Now, this opportunity has finally come.
It was the unborn child of the Amazon warrior.
Lin Zhongtian has already sensed that the Amazon warrior is pregnant with a baby boy!
