[Comprehensive British and American] Old popsicle online dating rules

those guys.

Without a doubt, the people of Hydra.

Looking at the goblin's body behind Merlin, Jarod's expression was a bit bad.And Steve obviously hated it, his brows were so frowned that he could kill a fly, and he looked like he wanted to use a shield to throw all the octopuses in the world out of the earth.

"It seems that there is something they want where we are going?"

Turning the drawn second arrow between his fingers, and then inserting it back into the quiver behind him, Jarod narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then we must hurry up, if this is really 'Sin''s order. "

Steve nodded approvingly.

Although they don't know who the "Xin" they are talking about is sacred, but judging from the elf's expression, it shouldn't be someone to mess with.Merlin wisely didn't ask any more questions, and took out the map he had drawn from his backpack. After all, they had already reached an agreement on the issue of moving quickly, so it was about time for them to take actual actions.

"So where are we going, Archmage?"

I could feel Steve pinching his palm, dispelling the memories of darkness and dungeons that were still lingering in my head.Garrod gave him a generous smile, then turned his head and looked at Merlin who covered his face with the map.

Hearing his greeting, a pair of eyes appeared from the edge of the paper, the black-haired boy moved his lips, and announced the place name:

"Avalon."

This is actually not too unexpected.After all, it is the country known as the Elf of the Lake, and the great King Arthur also sleeps here, waiting to return to Britain one day.Although Garald hadn't heard that his compatriots had ever built a habitat here, he hadn't visited all the elves in Middle-earth before he fell asleep, and it was probably reasonable to have some omissions.

However, Avalon, which Merlin wanted to take them to, did not seem to be the legendary ideal land in the true sense.

"It's hard for me to say what the lake elves have to do with yours. After all, I haven't really seen them even 1000 years ago."

However, Avalon, which Merlin wanted to take them to, didn't seem to be the legendary ideal land in the true sense.

"It's hard for me to say what the lake elves have to do with you. After all, I haven't really seen them even 1000 years ago."

Around the protruding tangled roots under their feet, the mage used magic to open a path for them in the jungle, and turned his head and said:

"But for sure, it's not a peaceful place there. Even I can't break the magic shrouded in Avalon. Once you step over the border, it's equivalent to disappearing in this world..."

Before the words fell, they all heard the scorching sound of something being scorched.Turning his head to look, he saw Captain America frowning and took out a scrapped communicator from his pocket. The remaining metal fragments were still smoking, and it was obvious that it could no longer perform its original function.

"Yes, like this." Merlin shrugged: "I can't send any communication."

"That's not good."

He could feel that the other locators on his body were also destroyed by Avalon's magic, and Steve's expression became serious: "Without technical support, fighting in this primitive jungle will make things more difficult. It was several times more difficult before.”

And, there are worse ones.

The distant wind brings the smell of damp moss from the depths of the forest, and also amplifies some unpleasant smells.Garrod withdrew his hand on the tree trunk, pursed his lips, and his expression was not very good.

"You go first."

After a few seconds of silence, Mr. Elf raised his head and looked at the two people who also stopped in front of him: "Those monsters are about to catch up, I will lure them away."

"You know it's impossible, Garald."

Although he didn't hear any approaching movement, he still took the shield from behind and held it in his hand. Steve frowned even tighter: "Don't let me hear such words a second time."

"But this is the best way." Clenching the longbow in his hand, Garrod tried to reason with Captain America: "The forest is the home of the elves, and I can get the help of the tree spirits here to lead them to the opposite direction." There's no danger at all if you're going in the right direction and using it to get away."

"Why did you lure them away alone if it wasn't dangerous?"

He didn't believe a word of the elf's words at all, the captain's eyes locked on him, and his face gradually sank:

"I said, I won't let you do this kind of thing—"

"If you must go, get rid of me first...if you can."

Gee.

"You don't understand at all."

Probably a little bit choked by the indisputableness of his words.Garrod stared at the other party, as if he was looking at a piece of stubborn wood, as if he wanted to hit his head hard with the bow in his hand:

"Those are not ordinary half-orcs, Captain, they were transformed by Hydra with my blood, and they will only track my breath. As long as I am with you, we will all be chased by those damn things, there is nowhere You can hide! In this case, don't you know what the best way is?!"

"Of course I know, the best way is for us to kill them all together."

After only saying such a sentence, he shut his mouth tightly and stopped talking.At the same time, the footsteps of those dark creatures were so close that they could be caught without listening carefully, and the speed was extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, they had already come to a place only a few steps away from them. To heinous.

"Just be stubborn, Rogers."

It's too late to argue with Captain America whether we should split up or not.The moment he caught sight of the first black shadow rushing straight from behind the tree from the corner of his eye, Jarod quickly drew his arrow and set his bow, stepped on the tree trunk beside him and jumped up, shooting directly through the head of the half-orc in mid-air:

"Be careful, they're all near-finished mutants, [-] times more terrifying than the one you dealt with in S.H.I.E.L.D."

"learn."

Use your shield to block the sharp claws that are waving towards you.Steve leaned over and savagely swiped at the monster's lower limbs, which were much slenderer than ordinary half-orcs, but was accidentally dodged, and his flaws were exposed, allowing the opponent to grab his head with a claw.But fortunately, Merlin behind him helped in time and used magic to bounce the monster away, thus avoiding the tragedy of Captain America being caught by half-orcs and half of his head and hair.

...This one is indeed unexpectedly a bit difficult.

Nod to the mage.Seeing the monster not far away staggeringly stood up, after stabilizing its figure, it rushed over persistently.Steve lowered his center of gravity, fixed his eyes on the half-orc who was getting closer, and waved his shield again to meet it.

It didn't take long.

Probably because these monsters belonged to the vanguard and there were not many of them. The hand-to-hand combat in the jungle soon ended with the victory of Jarod and the others.But it was not without cost. At the very least, the three of them were more or less under the orc's sharp claws. Merlin was the lightest, but he accidentally tripped and scratched his skin while casting the spell.Because Steve was besieged by three orcs at the same time, he couldn't dodge in time, and was accidentally scratched on his arm and shoulder.On the other hand, Garald was left with a few not-so-deep scratches on his chest by the monster, with blood oozing slightly, and a thin layer of bright red was stained on the edge of the fabric.

"They have more accomplices coming here."

Leaving the corpses all over the ground behind, he quickly followed Merlin and continued to his destination.Garald lowered his eyes slightly, felt the news from the tree spirits, and began to think about whether he should find a chance to implement his plan just now:

"I told you, Captain. Those mutants are difficult to deal with, and there are so many of them. We can't keep fighting them like this."

"I know."

In order to prevent the elf from sneaking away, he specially followed behind him.Steve glared at him from behind, never letting go on this point: "But that's not how you can convince me to watch you die."

...I may not die if I go by myself, but you will definitely have an accident if you come with me, okay?

He rolled his eyes helplessly, but there was nothing he could do in the face of Captain America's four times stubbornness.Jarod pursed his lips and stepped lightly on the fallen leaves with almost no sound. Merlin, who was leading the way, couldn't help but look back at him several times, just to make sure that the elf was really still following him.

"Actually, it's still my fault."

In this way, they walked for a while with their own thoughts, occasionally accompanied by a quarrel between Steve and Garrod on whether the elf should let the elf act alone.After carefully crossing a suspension bridge covered with vines and entering a certain valley, Merlin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth. His voice echoed between the narrow stone walls, instantly attracting the attention of the two people behind him.

"Merlin?" Garrod raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"If I hadn't miscast the spell and brought you here without warning, you would have had more time to prepare."

The tone was obviously frustrated, the mage raised his hand and rubbed his cheeks, it was hard not to let himself show annoyed expression: "And you can also stagger with those monsters, or find another more hidden way, so that things won't be like this ...so dangerous."

Again.

Mr. Elf sighed silently.

"I said, it's not your fault."

He reached out and patted Merlin on the back, almost staggering the mage.Garald shrugged, and didn't think this problem was a problem: "It's just a small accident. Even if you give me more time, I probably won't be better prepared than I am now."

As he said that, he turned his head and glanced at his netizen: "What's more, we are always prepared to face various dangers, right, captain?"

"It's basically true."

Knowing that he couldn't add more guilt to Merlin now, Steve nodded and continued the elf's words very smoothly:

"And we will meet those half-orcs sooner or later, either here or elsewhere. Now it's just a little earlier, it's no big deal."

"But……"

She moved her lips, as if she wanted to refute but didn't know where to start.Merlin paused for a while, and just started to speak, but because he saw an arch made of boulders not far away, he temporarily put aside these insignificant self-blame.

Apologizing is always okay, but getting down to business always takes time.

"right here."

Open the map and double check that you read correctly.Merlin walked to the right side of the stone gate, and chanted a few spells they didn't understand while Garald and Steve watched.Immediately, there seemed to be some fluctuations in the air, like water waves, spreading from the place where the mage touched to the surroundings, drawing transparent ripples in the air.

With a 'crash', it seemed that something invisible was broken.

"After I found this place last time, I set up a magic on the periphery to protect it from being intruded by others intentionally or unintentionally."

After a pause, he continued, "Especially the group of monsters that are still chasing us."

Without being reminded by the tree spirit, he could already feel the dark breath coming from all directions, so thick that it was almost nauseating.Not wanting to guess how many half-orcs could gather such a terrifying aura, Jarod squeezed the space between his brows, approached the huge stone door, and stretched out his hand tentatively.

No obstacles were encountered as expected.

So, go inside and face the unknown, or stay outside, besieged by almost half a legion of orcs?

Everyone knows how to choose.

"Let's go then."

Glancing at Steve, and then looking at Merlin after receiving the other's nod, Garrod said without hesitation, "Do you know what's inside?"

"A pile of stones, and some ruins, I can't describe too much."

Merlin shook his head, "You can only find something else if you go to see it yourself."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

The rustling movement around has gradually changed from blurred to clear, and it is obvious that more monsters are getting closer and closer on the way to track them.Garald smiled at the mage, and at the same time stretched out his hand, shaking it in front of his netizens:

"gone."

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked into the stone gate made of huge stones.

Step on the soil as soft as it has just rained.The crisp sound of penetrating the barrier spread in the air like ripples, little by little, dizzying the light and shadow and breaking up time.The old light poured down from the lush canopy, leaving mottled silhouettes on the branches.

The sunlight pouring into the valley was shining into his eyes, as if stepping into the light from the darkness, Jarod involuntarily closed his eyes, waiting for the sudden dizziness to dissipate.

"Jia Jia."

He didn't expect to encounter such strong sunlight suddenly.If there is any danger behind that door, there will be absolutely no time to react in this state.

"Jia Jia."

He had to remind Steve to pay attention to his surroundings.

"Jiajia, Jiajia? Jia-jia-"

he……

Jarod suddenly opened his eyes.

In front of him, there were no valleys, no primeval forests, and no mutated orcs.The warm sunshine of Gray Harbor covers every corner as far as the eye can see. The neatly arranged white sails and seagulls in the port stand together on the sea level, and the elves who are ready to go to sea are coming and going, talking to each other, and blown by the wind. There was a familiar yet unfamiliar noise.

But in the bustling silence, Jialude only saw the smiling man in front of him.His eyebrows are firm and resolute, his dazzling blond hair is like the sun, his temples are scattered and his hair is tied behind his head by a forehead ornament. The green cloak is embroidered with white poppies that only bloom in spring, just like a field under the spring breeze, lingering and tender gentle.

"Glorfindel?"

The steps he took froze in place, and his eyes widened involuntarily.
