Chapter 371 Zatanna's Love and Protection

"Where are Loki and Star-Lord?"

Peter, who rushed back from London, found that Star-Lord and Loki were not there, and asked McBee in confusion.

"I don't know. I've been in charge of cooking. Maybe you can ask Kara and the goddess Hera who has been watching TV with nothing to do."

The vixen put the question to Kara and Hera.

"I don't know, they have their own legs, why are you asking a woman in captivity?"

Hera held the remote control and said angrily to Peter.

She secretly used Peter's computer to check it last night.

The handcuffs he was wearing were the kind of sex toys used by couples.

She was ashamed and annoyed, and now she wanted to kill Peter directly.

Before she could become a queen, she still wanted to play this kind of erotic game with him.

As a divine queen, I will never give in!

"Yeah?"

Peter watched Hera being angry and watching the TV without blinking, so he walked over and snatched the remote control from the other party's hand.

This woman can't control her attitude and still wants to watch TV. She just wants to eat shit.

"You don't seem to know your place yet, Hera."

Peter held the remote control and glared at this woman who never looked at others seriously and always looked arrogant.

After the remote control was taken away, Hera's attitude immediately softened and she begged Peter: "Don't take away my remote control, don't change the channel."

"That depends on your attitude."

Peter glanced at the remote control in his hand.

Is this thing so attractive to the Queen of Gods?

He looked at the TV suspiciously, and it turned out that the program on the TV was about a black man's journey to find his roots.

A black man who was abandoned by his father since he was a child works hard to find the father who abandoned him.

What's so cool about this thing? !

Falling into a state of thinking about life, he looked at the pleading expression of the Queen of Gods, and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu in his mind.

He is now holding the remote control, and the Goddess is begging him not to press it.

Why do you feel like the villain in an island romance movie? !

Coughing, Peter pushed this strange feeling out of his mind.

"Okay, back to business, Diana needs you to take her to Demeter. She needs to find Hermes and the child."

After hearing Peter's words, Hera was stunned for a moment.

Then she raised her head and expressed her refusal arrogantly, "No, I won't take you there."

"What?"

Upon hearing that the other party rejected her, Diana's face immediately turned bad.

"I didn't kill you, but took you under my protection. Why did you refuse?!"

Before Hera could answer, an old man's voice came from outside.

"She's not rejecting you, Diana, she's powerless."

In the astonished eyes of Peter and others, a gray-haired old man suddenly walked in outside the farm.

The old man with a bald head, a snow-white beard, and blood stains on his legs and feet said to the stunned Diana: "She is a mortal now. Only the Olympus gods can travel between different realms."

"Ares?!"

Looking at the old man who suddenly appeared on the farm, Diana's eyes showed a look of shock.

She didn't expect to see Ares, the God of War, here with Peter.

Moreover, the other party looked weaker than ever.

Ares, the god of war, has a close relationship with Diana.

Ares has been training Diana since she was very young, and the relationship between the two is like that of a father and daughter.

However, when Ares ordered her to kill a Minotaur, Diana refused.

As a result, Ares believed that Wonder Woman was a failure and gave up on her.

In a sense, Ares was Diana's teacher in preaching.

"You look a little surprised to see me here, Diana."

Ares greeted Diana.

"Also, you are Peter Padrick, right? I heard that someone made a big fuss in the underworld, defeated the underworld, and robbed his wife."

Ares said and looked at Peter.

Peter: "."

Is he so notorious among the gods of Olympus?

"No, I am just taking revenge for my daughter. As for the Queen of the Underworld, she followed me voluntarily, so the hearsay cannot be trusted."

Peter felt he had to explain his reputation.

Persenev, who had been uneasy next to him, nodded and said to Ares: "Yes, I escaped from that cage voluntarily."

"No need to explain, I think you did the right thing."

Ares said to Hera, who was sitting on the sofa with her head held high, "Mother, how are you doing recently?"

Hera snorted and ignored him.

"I've always been my mother's least favorite child and I'm used to it."

Ares, who looked like an old man, smiled bitterly at everyone, and then looked at Diana, "Diana, come on, let me take you to Demeter and find the child."

Seeing Ares willing to help, the Queen of Hades hurriedly came up and asked, "Can you take me with you? Maybe I can convince my mother."

She thought maybe she could convince her mother not to be enemies with Peter and Diana.

Ares, the God of War, shook his head and refused: "No, no, only Diana."

Zola took Diana's hand and said, "No, Diana, don't let him do this, he is not worthy of trust."

"He is my teacher, it doesn't matter, Zola, I will come back safely."

Diana smiled at Zora, then walked to Peter, "Peter, wait for me to come back."

After being predicted by Madame Xanadu about Peter's wife, Diana's mentality changed a little.

"Of course, protect yourself, and contact me directly if you have any questions."

Peter said to the other party.

But he heard Diana's tone, why is it a bit too intimate?

After Diana and Ares left, Zatanna walked to him and said hesitantly: "Sir, can I talk to you alone?"

"Of course."

Peter nodded and took Zatanna to the study.

"Actually, I got into some trouble in Gotham."

After struggling for a long time, Zatanna finally decided to tell Peter about her experience in Gotham. "Well, I know, it's the '10 million US dollars' case you were involved in, right?"

Peter handed her a cup of coffee made by McBee.

"You know? Sir."

"Not only do I know, I also guess that the real thief is someone else."

Peter took a sip of hot coffee, "And you, Zatanna, your magic is not so bad that you don't know someone is performing magic for you."

Peter had seen the news about Zatanna on the Internet in Gotham before.

"You can always see through my mind, sir, just like when we were in the secret house."

Zatanna smiled and said to him, "Yes, I know who did it, but I didn't expose it immediately. I used my magic to exchange the money he stole and then transferred it to the social welfare institution. This money was originally the funds of the welfare institution, but it was frozen by the bank."

"So you help them in this way?"

"Yes, magic should bring happiness to people, but the decline and pain of life, and the unstoppable continuous death, this is the most intuitive feeling that magic brings to me in the years I have traveled."

Zatanna thought of the countless magicians she had seen heading towards destruction and death, "But I always think that magic should have some warmth."

Looking at Zatanna who was slightly moved, Peter put down the coffee cup in his hand.

"You should understand, Zatanna, that the magicians in this world are all selfish bastards. If you try to be a warm-hearted magician, you will be easily hurt."

"But what about you, sir?"

"Me? I'm not a magician, and I'm not a good person either."

"If I get hurt, sir, will you protect me? Just like when we were in the secret house when we were kids."

Looking at Zatanna's eyes that showed her expectation of emotion, Peter nodded, "Of course, we haven't changed."

"Thank you, sir."

Zatanna smiled, stretched out her arms, and gently hugged Peter.

The breath of Peter gave him the same feeling as when she was a girl.

Yes, he hasn't changed, and neither has Mr. Padrick.

On the other side.

The god of war Ares left the farm and walked with Diana.

"It pains me, little friend, when I find that you haven't made any progress for many years."

Ares said to Diana: "Or in other words, it's not worse."

Diana's eyebrows moved and she replied to him: "Ten years, isn't it just a snap of the fingers for you?"

The time between the two of them not meeting each other has exceeded ten years.

"Ten years? It feels longer! My life."

Ares touched his snow-white beard, "It feels like experiencing a reversed life. When I was young, the end of the day was marked by the arrival of the night, and now I'm old, they are still going on."

Listening to Ares' words, Diana didn't know how to reply to him.

After a while, she asked him: "Where are you going?"

From the look of the other party, she was going to get into Peter's cornfield.

"Just follow me, I guess there must be something to see here."

As he said, he led Diana into the cornfield.

Walking to a damaged flowerpot with foxtail grass, Ares pulled the grass down.

Diana asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"Foxtail grass."

He looked into the flowerpot where the grass had been pulled out.

Diana followed his gaze and looked inside, and saw that the inside of the flowerpot was an infinite space.

The stairs made of mud led from the top to the bottom.

"Let's go, let's save that child."

Looking at the magical scene in front of her, Diana followed him into the flowerpot in surprise.

In the magical space built by mud, Diana saw countless fireflies flying in the air, lighting up the surrounding road.

A fresh smell of mud and fresh grass came from all around.

As they walked together, Ares asked Diana, "What will you do when you get the child?"

"I will return him to Zora."

"But this comes at a price. This child means something to many people."

Ares said to Diana, "Even though Zora is as sharp as a knife, can she protect the child?"

"No."

"Then are you willing to devote your entire life to being a protector?"

Faced with Ares' question, Diana was silent for a moment and said, "I will find a way."

"I'm sure Apollo has the same idea. He doesn't have the love and affection for humans like you do. The gods of Olympus never consider too much about human nature."

"Your self-hatred offends me, God of War!"

A familiar word rang in Diana's ears.

"Bang!"

The next moment, Hermes sent out a divine power and directly knocked Ares out.

In Diana's shocked and hateful eyes, Hermes slowly walked towards her.

Holding a magic sword in his hand, Hermes looked at her coldly.

"I've been waiting for this day, Wonder Woman. In fact, I'm also afraid of it."

Hermes' eyes flashed with a complicated look, "For so long, I can think of what you want to say to me, and what you think of me."

He raised his sword and pointed it at Diana, "The best thing I can think of to respond to you is sorry."

"But."

Hermes changed the subject, "My guilt disappeared when I saw who you allied with."

"Bang!"

Hermes raised the sword and slashed at Diana fiercely.

I was so angry that I couldn't sleep all night last night, but Dan Sanshun still updated 10,000 words today.

I'm begging for monthly tickets from readers, ah ah ah!
