Diana tilted her head in thought, nodded silently, and looked away.
Luke didn't say anything else and turned back to continue his Paradise Island Night BBQ.
The conversation between the two just now was a test.
Since it's a test, you can't push it too hard.
Besides, as the saying goes, one who has no desires is strong.
He really doesn't have any set goals for Paradise Island at the moment, especially since the creation of weapons is out of the question, and it's unknown what else he can get.
Without too high expectations, you won’t worry about gains and losses.
However, if the master of psychology cannot appreciate the meaning of the myth of female warriors, then so many practical goals will be wasted.
She was still filled with uncertainty, but this was much better than the initial situation.
But Luke didn't come to DC just to pick up girls. The War Goddess's tangled attitude will make her future life full of fun.
That's life.
For example, his physical condition suddenly increased and he acted recklessly for a while.
It is satisfying, but essentially it is no different from when Tony was a playboy. At most, his moral standards are a little higher, but he would never do something like kicking someone out of the house naked.
Later, my interests basically shifted to upgrading my scores and cultivating myself through technology. I no longer had any interest in pure physical communication that lacked emotional exchange.
By now, it's difficult for top beauties to find him to have something happen, because his interests have shifted to the wider universe.
Only this is DC, and opposite is the one and only "Princess of War", otherwise he would at most make a few jokes like he did to Mera, and continue to keep his distance.
He let these incoherent thoughts run through his mind, but his hands didn't stop.
The five fingers brushed over the processed meat slices and diced meat, and the nano armor on the fingertips extended out "skewers" to string the processed ingredients together.
The nanomaterial maintains the shape of a "skewer" and is separated from the armor.
Diana, who was standing by, was attracted by the rich aroma. She lowered her head to look up at the starry sky, and then she noticed how someone was using the nano armor. She couldn't help but complain, "Your armor has so many functions."
Luke chuckled, "It's nothing more than a tool, and it's sterilized with plasma, so it's hygienic."
Diana: ... Am I talking about hygiene
Having said that, when Luke handed her the first batch of grilled skewers, she couldn't help but reach out to take them.
After thinking about it, she still felt that she should do something.
Whether you can cook is a matter of talent, whether you do something is a matter of attitude.
So, she walked into the house and carried out a white marble jar with one hand, with two stone bowls on the mouth of the jar.
After uncorking the can, two bowls of orange-red fruit wine were filled. She pushed one bowl over and raised her own bowl: "I wish you... well, all the best."
Luke smiled and raised his wine bowl as well: "I wish Your Highness the Princess good luck in military affairs."
Diana laughed: "Don't worry, call me if you have any problems. Victory is guaranteed."
The two wine bowls touched lightly, making a clinking sound, and the wine in the bowls rippled slightly, reflecting the starry sky.
…
The next day, the meeting with Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, was not as "welcoming" as readers had been in the previous life.
There was no ridicule, no slapping, no foot washing, and Zeus did not suddenly jump out to recognize Luke as his brother. Everything was as serious as a state visit.
In fact, Queen Hippolyta treated this like a state visit.
The fact that Diana was able to convince the old lady so easily was closely related to the Steppenwolf helmet that Luke asked her to bring back and the battle process.
With the strength that Luke revealed, it is absolutely impossible for any intelligent creature with normal thinking to step on him casually.
Besides, Luke also asked Diana to tell him that he could sell short-range space flight fighters to the Amazons.
It’s not that Amazon is very fond of this kind of technological product, or is afraid of its destructive power, but that they do not have the ability to engage in a space war.
This also means that Luke can launch attacks and evacuations against them at any time and has absolute strategic initiative.
The two parties are not enemies, but friends who are strong enough are always more respectable.
For various reasons, Hippolyta agreed so quickly to Luke's request to go to the island for talks.
But Luke himself didn't know what on Paradise Island could be useful to him, so naturally no specific deal was reached during this meeting.
However, the Queen generously gave him a week and opened the ordinary areas of Paradise Island to him. There were no secrets in these places anyway.
Luke thanked the queen politely for her generosity and was then escorted out of the palace by the guards.
After watching him disappear outside the palace gate, the Queen turned her head to look at Diana beside her: "Are you sure he is only in his thirties?"
Diana, who had been watching the meeting without saying a word, relaxed her dignified posture and sat down on a stone stool. "I'm not sure. I asked Bruce, the Batman, to check his resume, and he told me it was fake, but the resume was too good to be disproven."
The Queen nodded thoughtfully. "From everything he showed today, he is indeed a very... sophisticated person, and is very familiar with handling this kind of formal talks."
Diana tilted her head. "Maybe because he's a technology businessman in the outside world and often negotiates with people?"
The queen shook her head. “You haven’t come into contact with people like that. Generally speaking, they are at the top and are used to ordering others around. That’s the feeling he gives me, even though he’s very polite.”
Diana: "They? Like..."
The queen glanced at her and said, "For example, the leaders of the Atlantis tribe."
Or your father, she added silently in her heart.
Without this level of aura, the Amazon Queen wouldn't specifically say it.
Diana was surprised, and after thinking for a moment, she shook her head: "I really didn't see that. In our alliance, Bale is indeed very... special, but Batman is usually the one who makes the decisions, and Bale rarely gives orders to anyone."
The queen laughed a low, "I've seen through everything" laugh: "That's because he doesn't need to command you to obey, am I right?"
Diana recalled it again and nodded in silence.
The Queen paid attention to her expression and finally said, "If you have any unusual feelings for him, don't rush to make a decision."
Diana was stunned: "Huh?"
The queen sighed and reached out to stroke her daughter's heroic and charming face: "I know very well how you have lived for the past hundred years. So don't be anxious, just let everything take its course."
Diana smiled and didn't shake off her mother's hand: "I'm not a little girl in her first love. There are many men chasing after me. You don't have to worry."
The Queen didn't believe it.
That relationship a hundred years ago, although due to Diana's immaturity and first love, it was also due to her own independent and courageous character that it started so quickly.
The biggest problem is still curiosity and mystery.
If it were today, the man from a hundred years ago might not necessarily be able to attract Diana today, but the Dark Knight clearly has this condition.
The Queen didn’t want Diana to be attracted unwittingly.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to bring this up, further deepening Diana's impression of him.
It doesn't look like things have reached that point yet, but the trend is there.
But what can the Queen do? She can't threaten the Dark Knight who cut off Steppenwolf's head with his own hands!
