In the third hour of Garrod's disappearance from the Avengers Tower, his weapon and battle suit, along with Captain America, were dropped in front of him by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Merlin's spell brought Mr. Elf from the warm and comfortable lounge to a damp forest in England, surrounded by nothing but trees and a clean and ugly lake. For Garald, who has nothing but boyfriend shirts, this is not an ideal place.Therefore, even though his waist was almost broken by the elf, the guilty mage didn't dare to complain, but led him to a small town on the edge of the forest, where he waited for news from the Avengers, and paid for it out of his own pocket. Bought him local hot cocoa and waffles as an apology.

"Actually, you don't need to be so anxious."

Sitting on the steps with a drink in hand, let the heat dissipate the last trace of coolness from your body.Jarod turned his head and looked at Merlin who was drooping his head in reflection beside him, his expression was clearly between helplessness and amused:

"You can call me, or text me, and get me ready to see you again. I don't think that's much slower than magic."

"But I want to do it in a more formal way."

With an aggrieved mouth, Merlin fiddled with the weeds growing out of the cracks under his feet despondently, and his tone sounded very frustrated: "And I only planned to send you a message, I didn't want to send it directly..."

Who knew that he had read the wrong spell.

Glancing at Mr. Elf's thin clothes, it's obviously not suitable for going out in this kind of weather.Merlin lowered his head again, feeling even more guilty.

"It's okay, you don't have to blame yourself too much."

Knowing that it was impossible for him to blame him, Jialuode sighed slightly, reached out and stroked his soft black hair, and the corner of his mouth curved into a gentle arc: "Anyway, it will always come, sooner or later It makes no difference."

"...Yes." The mage responded lightly, stretched out his hand and patted his cheek to cheer himself up: "But I probably still need to apologize to you."

"Okay, I accept."

Garrod smiled in a low voice:

"If it makes you feel better. After all, I'll have to rely on you to get close to it later—a ruin of elves somewhere, I remember you telling me so?"

"Yes." Merlin nodded. "I've always known of its existence, but I didn't find out its location until recently. I think you might be interested in taking a look with me."

He didn't say some words, but the mage knew that Jarod would understand.As a human being, why did Merlin know about the appearance of this elven ruin, and why did he look for it? Apart from Glorfindel, probably no one else could tell the mage this.

Therefore, he must go.

Perhaps this was also what Lord Jinhua wanted him to do.

Lowering his eyes thoughtfully, Jarod held his hands that had become cold again in the wind, thinking silently.

The Quinjet machine of SHIELD appeared in their field of vision at this time.

Jarod didn't know how the other Avengers explained his disappearance to Captain America, but it certainly wasn't the way he wanted them to explain it.Amidst the roar of the plane whizzing by, Mr. Elf watched in bewilderment as a blue figure jumped out from behind the cabin door without even carrying a parachute, but used a shield as a cushion at the end, just like that It landed vertically and threw a large cloud of flying dust on the ground.

"Uh--"

Obviously, he was also stunned by this way of appearance.Merlin stared dumbfounded at the man running towards them with a shield in one hand and a box in the other, couldn't help gasping, and subconsciously touched his knee: "Has the SHIELD let Captain America deliver the courier now?" ?”

I think he might just be trying to send himself in.

The corners of his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.Garald watched Steve blowing in front of him like a gust of wind, hesitating for a moment, but raised his hand to say hello.

"team leader……"

"Next time you do this again, I will hang you on my body and take you with me wherever I go."

However, before Jarod could finish speaking, his family's online friends from across the Atlantic interrupted him.And the tone was not good, obviously very dissatisfied with Mr. Elf's ability to disappear as soon as he left his sight.

Drop the box on the ground along with the shield.Steve squatted down in front of him, held his cool hands in his palms, and sighed softly:

"Consider my mood, okay, Jiajia?"

"..."

No one could remain unmoved by Captain America's straight, focused gaze, least of all Jarod.Although a corner of his mind has been aggrievedly protesting that this is out of his control at all, he can't say it, he can only nod blankly along with Steve's meaning, as if he really tossed out this pile of words on purpose. It's like making a boyfriend anxious about bad things.

"That's good."

His expression softened, and he reached out to pinch the back of his neck.Steve looked the elf up and down a few times, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, he put his hands on his chest and continued to warm him, while he rummaged through his pockets, took out an arrow pendant, and hung it on the caravan. Lord's neck.

"Sorry, I took it without telling you." The blue eyes were full of gentleness, and the captain gathered the collar of the elf: "I went to change the rope for you."

Only then did I remember that the original one was torn apart during the fierce battle last night, and I was so busy dealing with the sweet and tormenting aftereffects this morning that I didn't think about it at all.Jialuode picked up the arrow and shook it in front of his eyes. His heart felt warm, and he couldn't help but poked his finger on the forehead of the big-breasted netizen.

And Steve just looked at him and smiled.

Silently squatting not far away to watch, wanting to ask them to pay attention to the situation but not daring, Merlin could only clear his throat on the sidelines.But he didn't expect that he would go astray, from a regular reminder to a heart-piercing cough, and had to desperately wave his hands at the two people who looked over in doubt to indicate that he was fine.

But fortunately, after being disturbed by him like this, Jialude also remembered that they had serious business to do now.

"Then I'll go and change first."

He tugged at the shirt that belonged to his own netizen. Although they were of the same height, the difference in figure was obvious at a glance.Garald picked up the box Steve brought on the ground, weighed it, and was about to stand up and pack himself in the woods not far away.

However, before the elf could stabilize his feet on the ground, an outstretched hand grabbed him by the back of his collar, lifted him up, and carried him to his shoulders: "I'm with you."

"Hey! We have something to do soon, Captain!!"

Instinctively stretched out a hand to hold his waist for balance.Garrod patted the firm muscles under his hands heavily, and there was imperceptible panic in his tone: "Don't—"

"I know, I'm just waiting for you outside..."

Nodding to the stunned mage, Steve turned around and walked out with long legs.The wind blowing from the deep forest faintly brought the conversation between the two of them, and they soon became farther and farther away until they disappeared into the dense jungle without a trace.

"..."

Merlin suddenly felt that his eyes might be redundant.

And not long after, when the three of them were walking on the road to the ruins, the mage desperately found that not only his eyes, but his whole body was unnecessary.

--------------

"Honestly, I miss it so much."

Fastened the last button and adjusted the position of the shoulder strap.Garald took out the longbow that he hadn't seen for a long time from the interlayer of the box, and pulled the bowstring. Satisfied, he found that the feel of it was very to his liking: "I guess someone has adjusted it for me."

"It's Clint."

Leaning on the tree trunk with folded arms, he admired the elf's narrow waist and long legs wrapped in combat uniform.Steve shrugged and quickly replied, "He's the only one of us who understands this."

"I knew it was Barton."

Not surprised by this answer.Garald put the quiver behind his back, put away his two short knives, and turned around holding the bow: "It seems that I didn't feed him biscuits in vain."

"Well, Clint is indeed an expert in this field."

Looking at the happy expression on the elf's face, it is obvious that Hawkeye has gained a lot of favorability.Steve nodded casually, as if he didn't care about it, and said casually:

"He usually likes your bow when he plays with it in the training room. Last time he accidentally broke the bow string, and he hurriedly went to Tony to help him fix it."

"..."

With a pause in his footsteps, Jialuode's favorability level that was about to be full fell down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"He actually used my things without me knowing?!"

It's hard not to be annoyed in the tone, especially knowing that the other party has broken his own bowstring.Mr. Elf's forehead twitched dangerously, and he couldn't help clenching his back molars:

"When I go back, I must have a good 'talk' with him."

"I don't have any objections to that." Stretching out his hand and rubbing his head comfortingly, Steve nodded, with an inexplicable joy in his tone:

"I can talk to him with you."

Clint, who was far away in the Avengers Building, suddenly shuddered.

But he didn't realize that he seemed to be tricked.Jialuode stood where he was and let his netizens rub it for a while, before slowly pulling his claws off his head.After thinking about it, she still gathered her long hair into a bundle behind her head and tied it with a hair tie.

"Let's go."

After moving his wrist, Satisfaction found that his body had returned to its best condition.Mr. Elf raised his chin towards the man in front of him, and walked past his eyes, but was unexpectedly grabbed by the wrist.

"Wait a moment."

He dragged Jialude to him, and turned back his collar.Steve looked at the faint marks on his neck, couldn't help coughing lightly, and stretched out his hand to button the top button for him.

"Others will see it." Facing the elf's puzzled gaze, he replied so honestly.

...that's fine.

After thinking for a while, he realized what other people would see in Captain America's mouth, and Jarod's cheeks felt a little hot.But soon, he regained his composure, looked away from the handsome face of the big-breasted netizen, pretended that he didn't hear anything, and continued to walk, intending to meet Merlin outside the woods.

With his shield on his back, Steve followed behind him intently.

However, at the moment when they were about to walk out of the woods.

The sound of footsteps stepping on fallen leaves came from far to near, and ran straight in the direction of the two of them.At the same time, a group of frightened birds fluttered up from a distance, leaving a series of flapping sounds in the sky.Jialuode paused, and before his brain could react, his instinct had already instructed his body to draw an arrow and set a bow.At the moment when the elf moved, Steve also quickly took off the shield from behind, blocked it together with himself in front of the elf, and lowered his center of gravity towards the direction of the footsteps, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

One step, two steps, three steps.

The man seemed to be getting closer.

The fingers pinching the nock of the arrow exerted a little force, almost pulling the bowstring full.Jarod narrowed his eyes, aimed over the captain's shoulder, and quickly caught the familiar figure flashing out from behind the tree.

It's Merlin.

However, the two did not relax one bit.

An obscure light flashed in his eyes, and the elf's arm holding the bow did not tremble, but with unshakable determination, he let go of his hand without hesitation.

"call out--"

The long arrow pierced through the air, drawing a dazzling wind pattern in midair.In the eyes of everyone, it almost whizzed past Merlin's cheek, then passed the mage, and pierced straight into the skull of the monster that had been chasing behind him.

At the same time, before the two of them could say anything, the mage had already rushed in front of them, with an anxious expression on his face like never before.

"We must hurry."

Turning his head to look at the goblin scout who was already dead on the ground, he lowered his face:

"Those guys found out here too."
