Chapter 223 Longevity and Children

Raising her head, she saw Serena standing at the hatch, carefully extending her hand, and then staring blankly at the sunlight reflected on the back of her hand.

In the eyes of Loki and Diana, Serena's behavior is very strange, making them incomprehensible. Only Ethan knows that Serena has been transformed into a vampire since she was a child, and has been living in a sunless environment for hundreds of years. In the environment, you can only go out at night.

For hundreds of years, she had never felt what it was like to have her eyes reflected on her body. For a fair-skinned vampire who hasn't been exposed to sunlight for hundreds of years, this feeling is novel but not wonderful, because their skin is very sensitive and not suitable for direct large-scale sun exposure.

"In this world, you have enough time to experience the feeling of basking in the sun, and now I will introduce you to the situation on the ship."

Serena withdrew her hand, and at this time she began to look at her surroundings.

Yesterday, she had noticed that it was a wooden sailboat. Serena who lived in that era was no stranger to this kind of thing, and she was even more familiar with this kind of warship than most people here.

As one of the strongest warriors of the vampire clan, she also experienced water battles in the era of sailing battleships, so she could see at a glance that this ship was a battleship.

It's just that there are many things that don't match what she knows, and she can't figure out what it does.

"Logan, the current chief mate on the ship."

Ethan pointed to Logan, who was steering the boat at the wheel, and Wolverine raised his hand to say hello after seeing Serena.

"Diana, she's only here for a while, and she's going back to her own world after a while."

Serena looked at Diana, because it was Diana who helped her find a room last night and the small bottle of blood that brought her this morning, plus they were all women, relatively speaking, Serena's love for Diana was Feels a little more 'intimate'.

Originally, she thought that this woman was Ethan's wife or something, but just now she knew that it was not, not even Diana was on this ship, she was just a guest.

"That's Loki, and he just came to the boat, not long before you."

It was really only a little early, almost not long after Loki came to this world, Ethan brought Serena back. It may not have been ten minutes before Loki went to rest, and these ten minutes still haven't passed. It was all Ethan and Diana's talk was delayed.

"There's one more..." Ethan looked around and couldn't see it, so he could only walk upstairs to the poop and ask Logan, "Where's Laura?"

When I mentioned this, Logan felt a headache, took a deep breath of the cigar, and complained to Ethan helplessly: "When I went to wake her up in the morning, I found out that this girl played video games all night, before you came out. She just fell asleep not long ago."

"..."

After a trip to the Marvel Universe, the happiest person was neither Ethan nor Logan, but Eleven-year-old Laura. The little girl finally had a relatively normal childhood experience. Every day, she was brought by Logan to familiarize herself with the lives of ordinary people, and with Ethan's "financial support", she frantically bought, bought, eaten, and played.

Both of them came back with huge packages and huge boxes, many of which were Laura's toys, as well as clothes and shoes from Pepper, and a lot of electronics from Tony, including A small ark reactor is the main power supply device, so that Laura can play with the electronic products he sent.

Tony won, and Laura played all night on the first night back. This discovery made Logan very depressed, but he, like all ordinary fathers, didn't know how to deal with this problem at all.

"Congratulations, you finally experience what it's like to be a father."

Ethan won't come up with any ideas, it's not his baby anyway, he doesn't need a headache. And if the teaching is broken, Rogan will complain, that's asking for trouble.

"Has she eaten?"

"Drink some milk and eat some fruit before going to bed." It's not good for the body to eat too much to sleep, but it's still inappropriate to not eat at all, and Laura is entering a period of rapid growth, so nutrition must keep up. . Fortunately, Logan knew this, and let this little girl who started to indulge in video games supplemented some nutrition before resting.

"Then let her sleep well, floating at sea anyway... and there's nothing to do."

The temporary fleet headed by the Eternal will have to sail for a long time to reach the central island. During this time, it is a boring voyage, and there is no scenery on the road. It's just that Laura on the sea is tired of seeing it.

"My headache now is another thing, her age should start to receive formal education." Rogan ignored this problem carelessly before, until he took the children around New York, because occasionally and The casual gossip of strangers reminded him of it when he asked him where his children went to school.

"I don't even think about it unless you say it."

Diana, who was on the side, did not speak, and was speechless when she heard the conversation between the two. She could only slander in her heart with Serena next to her, "Men are really so careless."

"For the time being, I'm not in a hurry to go back, and there's nothing to do. During this time, I can teach Laura some basic knowledge."

This is also the most suitable solution at present, but Ethan still reminded: "Just teach the basic knowledge, like the legend of the Olympus gods as bedtime reading."

Diana rolled her eyes at Ethan. She had long known that many of the things her mother had told her back then were not suitable for Laura to teach, not to mention that she would only teach for a short period of time, and she could not teach much.

When Serena on the side learned that there was an eleven-year-old girl on board, she also expressed her willingness to teach some basic knowledge.

With the knowledge that Serena has lived for hundreds of years, it is indeed more than enough to teach a child. As for advanced knowledge? Except for Serena, no one in the field was worried about this problem. After all, the one standing in front of them was a mage.

Whether it is a film or a novel, the mages are a group of learned people. After getting along for a while, Logan and Diana learned that Ethan has hoarded a lot of books for knowledge, and his book of inheritance has almost been copied. The content of books equivalent to the storage capacity of a small library.

In addition, Ethan will travel between worlds, constantly learning new knowledge, even if Laura only learns a small part of those things, it will definitely be enough for her for a lifetime.

Logan didn't want Laura to become a mage, but only hoped that she could reach a normal level of education.

Laura's education issue can be regarded as a plan. At present, Diana and Serena are mainly engaged in some basic education. In the future, it will be determined whether Ethan will take over depending on the situation of the two people.

After discussing for a while, Diana took out the food for breakfast, and a few people gathered on the poop, looking at the sea with the sea breeze, and then chatted to solve the breakfast.

Loki did not continue to wander on the deck, he also stood here, holding a fruit in his hand and biting slowly.

After all, he is the prince of Asgard. Loki's etiquette is impeccable, and he tastes aristocratic when he eats fruit; and Ethan doesn't know if he was influenced by Arthur. , Diana was the one who ate the most boldly among the people present, and she was the one who ate the most.

After everyone finished eating, Diana was still fighting with a piece of steak in her hand, and by the way, she could still find time to chat with Ethan.

"I noticed that you and Laura don't seem very close. Don't you like children?"

Ethan drank fresh juice, leaned against the railing and looked up at the sky, answering some of Diana's questions by the way.

"I don't like it very much."

In the last life, Ethan didn't like to get along with children very much, but it made him collapse. I don't know if he has any special physique, and children always like to get close to him.

"Seeing you like this, I'm very curious about how you will get along with your children in the future."

Ethan didn't even imagine that scene, and gave an answer directly.

"From some perspectives, children are a continuation of life. My goal is to become an immortal existence. Since life is so long that it has no end, there is absolutely no need for another life to be my continuation. "

Ethan's goal has never changed, and he has been working hard toward this goal. At present, everything seems to be going well. At least his lifespan will definitely exceed the average lifespan of ordinary people. If he can break his own limit, then he himself I don't know how long I can live.

From another point of view, he didn't know what he would become in the process. Although he has always firmly believed that he is a person in his heart, the objective facts are there. Even if he does not rely on any virus serum to transform his body, when his magic is practiced to the point where his whole body is filled with powerful energy, the body will inevitably produce Variety.

This kind of change is irreversible, and at that time there is a question mark on whether or not a child can be born.

Diana was a little confused after hearing Ethan's answer and some explanations. She hadn't thought about these questions at all before. She just understood some things based on what she knew. She didn't think that she was very different from many people.

Ethan wanted to work hard to become immortal, and she was born a demigod of immortality. According to Ethan, she didn't seem to care about children.

Diana felt as if she couldn't discuss the feeling of being so different from others, but when she looked around, she found that Ethan was the only one present who was barely an ordinary person. Logan, Serena, and Loki, one lives longer than the other.
