Chapter 30 War, Love
At this time, the sound of thunderous horse hooves came from afar.
In the darkness of night, Hippolyta arrived with a group of Amazon warriors.
Diana winked at Rosen and walked towards Hippolyta.
The latter quietly boarded the ship with Steve.
After watching Steve clumsily moving around the boat and nearly falling down several times, Rosen finally understood what he meant by "I haven't sailed for a long time".
"Let me do it, you just help out on the side."
Rosen couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he took the rope tied to the sail and said, "Otherwise I'm really afraid that you will accidentally dismantle the boat later."
"Well, thank you for your help then." Steve watched Rosen skillfully making preparations before sailing, and finally swallowed his refusal.
Although his boat driving skills were not very good, his vision was not bad. Knowing that Rosen's level was far superior to his, he naturally stepped down and made way for others.
So when Diana said goodbye to her mother and Antiope, when she boarded the ship, she saw Rosen busying about, but Steve was standing there like a wooden man, doing nothing.
"Are you done talking?" Rosen asked.
"Ah."
"Then let's go." Rosen looked at Diana and said, "It's not too late for you to regret now."
"I won't regret it." Diana said firmly: "This is my mission."
Rosen didn't say anything else. He untied the rope, raised the anchor, and maneuvered the sailboat slowly away from the dock and began to accelerate forward.
A moment later, a fog came without warning and instantly submerged the entire ship. Rosen did not panic, but calmly steered the boat forward.
After about ten seconds, the thick fog dissipated.
Although the scene ahead was the same as before, Rosen knew that they had left Paradise Island.
"Wow. I didn't expect you to be such a good sailor." Steve felt the sea breeze and looked at the scene flying around him. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Rosen, your excellence is beyond my imagination."
"Thank you for your compliment." Rosen steered the boat and said, "If you are tired, take a rest. We still have a long way to go."
"How long will it take us to reach the battlefield?" Diana suddenly asked.
"Battlefield? Which one?" Steve said, "The French Western Front stretches from the Alps to the North Sea, over 400 miles long."
"Then let's go to the most intense place." Diana said, "Take me there, I will definitely be able to find Ares."
"What Ares?" Steve was a little confused.
"Ares, the god of war." Diana picked up her sword and said, "It is our duty to find him. Only the Amazons can defeat him. Use this sword to kill him. Once I succeed, the war will end."
"I admire your enthusiasm, but this war is a mess."
Steve didn't expect Diana to be so naive. He tried to persuade her to change her mind and said, "Neither you nor I can solve it. We can go back to London and find someone who can change the situation."
"I am that person." Diana said confidently: "When I find and kill Ares, the Germans will get rid of his influence and return to kindness. The world will be a better place."
Steve was stunned.
He must have never seen anyone so naive to the point of being stupid, and so confident to the point of being arrogant.
If Steve hadn't seen the magical Lasso of Truth, he might have really thought that Diana was talking crazy, but now...
Steve looked at Rosen who was steering the boat and said, "Rosen, don't you want to say something? At least make her sober up."
"I think what Diana said is right." Rosen smiled and said, "Ares may not be able to decide the direction of the war, but killing him will definitely help end the war, so why not do it?"
"Rosen, you..." Steve wanted to say that Rosen was crazy too, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.
He didn't dare to anger Rosen.
After a moment's silence, Steve arranged a place for Diana to sleep.
The topic then turned to things like men and women sleeping together, and then to marriage.
Diana had no idea.
Steve explained: "It's two people going before a priest and swearing to love, honor and cherish each other until death do you part."
"Will they love each other to death?" Diana asked.
"Not often."
"Then why do they still do this?" Diana asked with a smile.
"I don't know." Steve shook his head.
"Rosen, is this the same for you?" Diana suddenly asked.
"We don't need to swear to the priest." Rosen shook his head and said, "Love is a matter between two people. Marriage is even more complicated, but it has nothing to do with priests or God."
"But in ancient China, people would worship heaven and earth. You can understand this as declaring the love between two people to heaven and earth, thereby gaining the approval of the whole world."
"Heaven and earth?" Diana was a little confused.
"You can simply understand it as a being far more powerful than God." Rosen said, "In the era I lived in, Chinese people's marriages became different. Although there was still love, it was more materialistic."
At this point, Rosen sighed and even lost interest in continuing.
"Is that all?" Diana said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"These are already exhausting, what else do you want?!" Rosen said, "In my time, there was a saying, why can men join the army at the age of 18, but have to be at least 22 to get married?"
"Why?" Diana asked curiously.
Steve also looked at Rosen, waiting for his answer.
"Because women are much more difficult to deal with than enemies." Rosen said.
"Haha..." Diana and Steve laughed at the same time.
"Since no one can sleep, why not let me tell you a few stories about love and marriage."
"about you?"
"Of course not. I've never been in love, let alone married." Rosen shook his head and said, "This is a story that has been circulating in China for a long time. Maybe you will like it."
"Go ahead." Diana got up from where she was lying and sat next to Rosen.
Rosen immediately told the stories of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, and Sun Wukong and Zixia Fairy.
Steve fell asleep halfway through the first story, snoring loudly.
Diana gave him a look of disdain and urged Rosen to continue speaking with great interest.
Rosen naturally would not refuse.
Diana may not understand the unique behavioral rules of the Orientals in the story, but she can understand the sincere feelings between men and women, so much so that her eyes became red as she listened.
Especially when Rosen sang songs such as Liang Zhu and A Thousand Years of Waiting, Diana was deeply moved and kept asking if there were any other stories.
Rosen then racked his brains to tell her a story.
At daybreak, Rosen's story finally stopped, and Diana fell asleep on his shoulder without knowing when.
