[Comprehensive British and American] Old popsicle online dating rules

"Who is Ah Hua?"

He felt his sleeve being pulled by someone, and before he could turn his head, he heard a strange name uttered from Jarod's mouth.Steve was taken aback for a moment, and almost immediately recovered from the shock of the ancient ruins in front of him, his brows frowned unconsciously.

"Ah, this..."

I felt that I must have broken my brain when I fell just now, and would make such a fatal mistake. Now Mr. Elf is so embarrassed that he dare not look at Captain America, and his eyes keep wandering on the ground between the two: "He is I am a very good friend."

In fact, it was a fairly common term, although Garald felt that 'friends' was not a very accurate term for him and Glorfindel.After all, they have known each other for nearly ten thousand years. Even elves who are somewhat indifferent by nature are enough to be impressed by such a long time, enough to brew a relationship different from that of others.But suddenly being asked that question, Garald found that besides 'friend', he couldn't find any better description to define the relationship between them.

such.

I always felt that Garald's tone of voice when he mentioned this 'A Hua' was unusual, and it seemed that there was still room for it, but Steve didn't say anything more, just nodded: "Then your relationship must be very good."

It was so good that he was the one who was walking beside the elf all the time, but he could mistake him for another person without any warning.

Thinking of this, looking down at his wrinkled sleeves that had just been grabbed by Jarod, the captain suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry about that."

Even without the experience of living for nearly 1 years, Garrod could still hear the subtle emotions in the captain's words.After all, no one likes others to admit that they are wrong, especially when they are mistaken by other people. Mr. Elf didn't think much about it, but just spat at himself once again, then shook his head with a wry smile:

"I didn't mean it, Captain. It's just because Glorfindel and I used to have a good relationship, and I just couldn't help thinking of him in the aisle, so..."

Glorfindel.

once.

Quickly grasping the two key words in the elf's words, Steve calmly memorized the former one, and expressed doubts about the latter at the right time.

There are many different meanings behind the word "was?"He hesitated for a while, but slowly asked, "What about now?"

"Now? I don't know either."

Blinking, and remembering the time when he sent Lord Golden Flower to sea in Gray Harbor, Jarod's eyes dimmed for a moment: "After all, I haven't seen him for a long time... If there is no accident, as long as I am still alive, this I will probably never meet him again in my life.”

Those who traveled to the west were separated from him not only by the vast expanse of blue sea, but also by a long and never-ending period of time.In this world where there is no longer the call of Vala, only when his soul leaves his body and returns to the hall where the heroic spirits are placed in Mandos, can he set foot on the land of Aman Continent again and see the ethnic group he once settled down again.

That day will come sooner or later.But now, he still needs to live well in this era that he has not been able to adapt to so far, and do well what needs him to do. Garald has never doubted this.

"yes."

He only responded to such a sentence lightly and fell silent.Steve looked at Garrod's green eyes like new leaves with a complicated expression.He is not slow, and naturally he cannot fail to hear the nostalgia and loss that the elf tried to hide, which has already far exceeded the feelings he has invested in an ordinary friend, and it is based on this that he also understands that for The loneliness that occasionally appeared in the elf's eyes was the meaning that "Ah Hua" represented in his heart.

He must like him very much.

Climbing up the stairs of the mine with Garrod towards the top of the mountain, the captain stared at the back of him walking in front of him, obviously thinking a lot about it, and believed in it.And although Garald felt that Steve's eyes on him seemed to be wrong, but since the captain didn't say anything, he was mostly preoccupied with this ancient dwarven mine ruins, so he didn't bother. , but carefully stepped on the steps that had been in disrepair for a long time, trying to find the safest path for the two of them.

Due to the age of the mine, rotting wood and rusted, twisted metal are scattered throughout.Even rocks that are hard all year round are prone to cracking and falling off due to years of humid environment.In this case, even the elves, who are known for their agility and lightness, must work hard if they don't want to step on the ground halfway, or step on an unstable place and fall into the abyss under their feet.

And because there is too much weight difference, Garald has to step on the steps under his feet before walking a certain distance, in case he passes smoothly but Steve's foot collapses.And if even the elves would cause the stones to fall off when they walked up, then this place would basically be impossible to get past people, and the two had to find another way out.Therefore, although they were not walking slowly, they were still far away from the top of the mine.

"Speaking of which, what's down there?"

While walking, observe the surrounding environment.Steve couldn't help stretching his head to look at the bottomless abyss under his feet, as well as the stone stairs leading to other openings in mid-air, and then silently moved his leg on the edge of the steps farther away, a little curiously. asked.

"I don't know." Garrod shook his head. "I've never been to the bottom of the mine dug by the dwarves. But I heard from others that it should be something like an underground lake or a dark river."

"Then it should be fatal if you fall."

Thinking of the scene where he fell from the Helicarrier into the Potomac River, Steve shrugged slightly: "But it's better than flat ground."

"Maybe."

Having no experience of falling into the bottom of a dwarf mine, and not wanting to, Jarod responded casually and jumped onto the platform in front of him.On the other side of him, across a narrow bridge tens of meters long, is the entrance to the main hall of the mine. If there were indeed dwarves who established a kingdom here, there should be some corresponding records in it, and this It is also the most important factor that prompted them to venture here.

"This time you go ahead."

Turning his head and saying this to Steve, Garrod turned sideways to give up his position: "I need to make sure that you can walk to the opposite side safely, instead of stepping on the bridge halfway and falling down."

"..."

I really want to say that I really shouldn't be so heavy, but the captain wisely didn't argue with an elf about this issue, but nodded and looked back: "Then what do you do?...I mean, if I don't care Really broke the bridge."

"I'll be fine."

Lifting his chin towards the uneven rock wall under his feet, Jarod replied very sincerely: "As long as there is no heavy object falling down on me, I can stand firmly on any rock below."

Extra Heavy Steve:  …

Fine.

Taking the shield off his back and holding it in his hand, Captain America glanced at the precarious narrow bridge in front of him, took a deep breath, and took the first step cautiously.

The stone bridge seemed to let out a whimper, but fortunately there was no sound of shaking or breaking.Without squinting, Steve walked forward slowly holding the shield, and soon reached the middle of the narrow bridge.Seeing that he was going so smoothly, Jialuode also nodded, stepped forward with his long legs, and stepped up lightly. Almost in the blink of an eye, he had already chased behind the captain, getting closer and closer to the opposite side.

However, at this moment.

"Chi-chi-"

Thousands of years of closed darkness have bred those creatures that only move in the dark, and the sudden approach of intruders will soon wake them up.Under the surprised gazes of Garrod and Steve, a group of huge black bats flew out of the main hall screaming, forming a large black cloud, and almost blinked, they had already flew close to their heads.

"Tsk."

The edge of the bat's wing brushed across the cheek, and soon felt a burning pain.Steve frowned, quickly raised his shield and slapped it over, blowing away those guys who were still trying to pounce on his head one by one.And Garald also pulled out his dagger with his backhand, and drew a dazzling arc in midair, trying to drive away these harmless but annoying flying creatures.

but--

Originally standing on a precarious and dangerous bridge, it was impossible for the two of them to completely avoid those places that were in disrepair with such a big move.Soon, after turning around and swinging his shield, Captain America clearly felt that his right foot suddenly sank down, and then there was a tooth-piercing sound of gravel falling, which made him freeze immediately. In place.

"Garrod..."

While maintaining the posture of waving the shield, his expression gradually became serious.Steve didn't even care about the bats around him, he immediately turned his head, and said calmly and resolutely, as seriously as a captain of three hundred pounds: "I'm going to fall."

"...you must not move."

Although I really want to complain, can you show a little panic that you should have.Jialude immediately waved his hand to the captain, motioning him to hold on, while reaching out to untie his shoulder strap: "I'll pull you right away, please don't..."

But before he finished speaking, he saw the rock under Steve's feet collapse, and the captain, who was still in the same posture on top, disappeared before his eyes.

Garrod: ...

Now, there is no need to untie the shoulder straps by yourself, or find any support points.The elf still maintained a bewildered expression on his face, but his body jumped off without hesitation.And kicked hard on the narrow bridge to speed up, and almost in the blink of an eye, he reached out and grabbed Captain America's uniform collar in mid-air.

There is a stone ladder below where Steve fell, and the vertical distance is not too far.At the very least, when Garald had just adjusted his posture, they had already fallen heavily together.When the two were bounced by the reaction force and slid towards the edge of the stone ladder, the elf quickly inserted the short knife in his hand into the crevice of the rock, and at the same time held Steve tightly with his left hand. Fix them on the uneven rock wall outside the ladder.

"Give me your hand."

Frowning in agony, Jarod yelled at Steve.And Steve also reacted quickly, stretched out his hand to hold the elf's forearm, although the whole person was almost in the air, but he quickly climbed up the stone wall, and climbed up the stone ladder nimbly, backhanding Garrod Also raised it.

"You...you are much heavier than I imagined..."

As soon as he was pulled up the stone ladder, he collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath.Garald looked at the swarm of bats above his head that were still wandering in place but had no target, and that was the first sentence he said after recovering.

"I may have eaten too much breakfast."

Pulling out the dagger Jarod stuck in the crevice of the stone, he silently marveled at its hardness.Steve put the shield still hanging on his arm behind his back, reached out to help the elf, his face was full of sincere gratitude: "Thank you for everything you have done for me."

"It's nothing, if it were me, you would definitely jump down to save me."

Waving his hands, he didn't really care about the comparison.Garald leaned on Captain America to stand firm on the stone ladder, looked around, and found that they had fallen to the lower floor of the main hall, which should be the second hall or some other hall.And the narrow bridge they were standing on just now has been cut off from the middle, and the huge stones, along with the scattered gravel, rolled down towards the bottomless abyss below them, causing long-lasting echoes in the mine.For some reason, it always gave Garald an uncontrollable panic.

The ubiquitous darkness in the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

"and many more."

The uneasiness that had been lingering in his heart from the very beginning was suddenly magnified infinitely, like a sponge that had absorbed water, filling almost every corner of his chest.Garrod raised his hand to stop Captain America who seemed to be about to say something. The sharp intuition belonging to the elves was sounding the alarm sharply, telling him that just now, something sleeping deep in the ground had been awakened by them.

"How--"

Before he finished speaking, he had already discovered the reason why Garald was so abnormal.Feeling the trembling of the stone ladder under his feet, and the sudden increase in the temperature around him, Steve narrowed his eyes and looked at the fire that suddenly lit up in the depths of the hall, his expression gradually became serious.

"What it is?"

Turning his head, he looked at his companion beside him, only to find that the elf's face turned pale in an instant.

"...It's the Balrog."

Garrod scowled.

The author has something to say: Falcon: Let me tell you, what is your relationship with that Ah Hua?

Garald: ...emmm, you have to ask him.

Jin Hua (smiling): I raised him, do you have any objections?

Falcon: Oh, the captain's mother-in-law! !
