[Comprehensive British and American] Old popsicle online dating rules

So, it started in a way that no one expected, and ended in a way that no one expected.At the end of the day, when Glorfindel finally remembered the business of bringing them here under Merlin's reminder, Garrod and Steve had already staggered together, drowsy under the long-winded reprimand of Lord Golden Flower.

"time is limited."

Sensing that the magic power around Avalon began to become restless again, the mage looked towards the entrance of the cave, and a trace of gold flashed in his eyes: "Those half-orcs have found the traces we left, and they will find this place in a short time."

"A little faster than I expected."

He nodded, indicating that he already knew.Glorfindel looked down at the two boys who were dozing off with their heads pressed together, snorted coldly, and kicked Captain America.

"Bang——!!"

The dull clash of shields echoed throughout the cave.Merlin stared dumbfounded at Steve, who had closed his eyes just now, quickly raised his shield to cover his face, his eyes didn't have the slightest daze of just waking up, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

The response is very fast.

Glorfindel raised an eyebrow in surprise.

That's because I knew you would do it.

Looking back calmly.Captain America curled his lips, circled Jarod, who had slipped off his shoulders because of this sudden movement, and let him bury him in his chest.

"... Are you finished?"

Compared with his own netizens, Mr. Elf, who really couldn't bear Lord Jinhua's nagging, was fighting with his eyelids, but he was suddenly awakened.He raised his head from the captain's comfortable chest with a blank face, turned to look at the guardian, and seemed to be very familiar with the process of admitting mistakes: "Should I say 'sorry' next?"

"Forget it, you've never felt sorry anyway."

Ruthlessly piercing his essence, Glorfindel rolled his eyelids, reached out and lifted Garald from Steve's arms, and made him stand upright against the stone wall: "I didn't come here to listen to you Perfunctory me again."

...Then you definitely didn't come here to teach me and the captain a lesson.

He also rolled his eyes in return, but because he could hear his seriousness from Glorfindel's tone, he didn't argue with him again.Jarod leaned against the stone wall behind him, his eyes turned around on the mural of the Elf Xidu at the end of the cave, and finally fell on the guardian's face, his eyes were very focused.

"Should you tell me?"

After taking his hand, it turned out to be a little more transparent than before.Mr. Elf shrugged, raised his head, and looked straight into Glorfindel's sea-blue eyes:

"The reason why you can't rest assured even if you are in Aman Continent, you insist on leaving this wisp of will in Middle-earth...I guess it is definitely not just for us to meet."

"really."

No surprise he was able to see this clearly.Glorfindel stretched out his hand and waved it before their eyes:

"Today's Middle-earth has declined so much that I can no longer step here, but fortunately I got the help of Iluvita, and I can appear here in the form of a projection. Although time is limited, this is the only way I can now The way to stand in front of you."

This is the preferential treatment given to him by fate, in order to free them from this cycle of reincarnation.Even if the short reunion will be followed by a long separation, he must seize this opportunity firmly.

"listen."

Slow down the speed of speech, saying word by word what he had already repeated countless times.Glorfindel's face was full of indescribable exhaustion, but there was still a faint instinct of stubbornness and persistence in his eyes:

"That guy, you have to beat him, by any means."

"Who?" Garrod raised his eyebrows, "You mean 'Sin'?"

"Yes, that fallen elf." Lord Jinhua nodded, paused, and continued: "He is the root cause of your inability to travel westward."

He didn't participate in the past of Garrod, and he didn't have anything to say about the grievances of the Noldor clan.It's just that thousands of years are fleeting, and everything that used to be has turned into a sea. Even if the source of the tragedy is long gone, this hatred that spans time must have an end.And this, only one person can do it now, and this is also the reason why Iluvita left him alone in Middle Earth.

Beat him, beat 'Sin', and save yourself from this hopeless fate.

Clearly reading such toughness from Lord Jinhua's eyes, Jarod couldn't help being taken aback.He had never seen such emotions in Glorfindel, just like the sky before the storm, dark and gloomy, there was a backlog of anger and sadness that could not be dispelled, but he could only continue to trudge through the cycle of fate.

His killing intent towards that 'Xin' was far stronger than his own.

For no reason, Garrod thought so.And that's not just because I was trapped by the curse of 'Sin', and I could never go to the final resting place of the elves, there should be something else, something more desperate, that bound their fate An inescapable shackle.

"I see."

She moved her lips, but in the end she didn't ask anything.Garald was silent for a while, then nodded slowly, if this was what Glorfindel needed him to do, then he would do it without hesitation.

well.

After receiving his affirmative reply, the corners of the blond elf's mouth raised slightly, but soon collapsed again.He won't be too optimistic that Garrod can make a deal this time, but he also has enough courage to face the consequences of another failure.

And, it's not entirely hopeless.

His eyes stayed on Captain America next to him for a moment, watching him nod towards him imperceptibly.Glorfindel clenched his fingers tightly, and loosened them again after leaving a small white mark on his palm. Taking a deep breath, he managed to smile a little at them.

"Don't be afraid, Jiajia."

Stretching out his hand, he looked tenderly at the elf he had raised since he was a child, and pulled out the arrow pendant that once belonged to Lord Jinhua from his collar.Accompanied by a flash of dazzling white light, the metal engraved with intricate patterns seemed brighter, as if the dust of time had never left a trace.At the same time, Garrod was also surprised to find that, perhaps due to the consumption of most of his strength, the Glorfindel in front of him seemed to be a little more transparent, so transparent that he could almost see through his body and see the cloth behind him. Mossy, uneven stone walls.

"Don't be afraid." He repeated, and Glorfindel gently stroked the back of the elf's neck and pressed against his forehead: "No matter what the future will become, my will will be with you."

I know.

Close your eyes to cover the slight water in your eyes.Jialuode nodded, gently grabbed the man's clothes, and lowered his voice: "I will miss you."

One of them is in the Middle Earth, and the other is in the far west of Aman Continent, separated by countless mountains and seas that cannot be filled.But one day, the elves will return to their homeland, and they will meet again in the same place.

He will always look forward to it.

From a distant place, there seemed to be the sound of a dark creature approaching, and the ground under his feet shook slightly. It was obvious that something was approaching this last pure land.Knowing that this is the horn of the end of this reunion, the orcs sent by 'Sin' have discovered their whereabouts.Garrod raised his head from Glorfindel's arms, picked up the bow and arrow, and nodded to Steve who had been watching them silently.

"Let's get rid of those guys."

From the quiver behind him, drawing an arrow and pulling the string, the elf said so.But before he took a step, someone grabbed his wrist: "Wait—"

"There is an exit behind the cave, and Merlin will take you there."

Pushing Garald to Steve's side with involuntary force, Glorfindel remained motionless under his surprised gaze, with a gentle expression on his face, but his eyes were filled with undeniable toughness: "I will take them Block here."

"you……"

Instantly brought back bad memories.Jarod frowned, and couldn't help thinking of the scene when Gondolin fell, when the Lord of the Golden Flower desperately wanted to perish with the Balrog. He was about to refuse, but the guardian's finger was pressed to his lips, and all the things he was about to do The ignited anger pressed down.

"Shh - I know what you're trying to say."

As time passed, the sunlight illuminated the perennial darkness in the cave.And the elf, which was brighter than the sun, stood in front of all of them against the light, his eyes were gentle, and he seemed to be able to see everything in the world.

"But you should also understand that those half-orcs pose no threat to me. There is still a long way to get out of Avalon, and there are still enemies that are much more vicious than them to face outside. There is no need for you to waste your energy here... ...Besides, my time here is running out, Jiajia, this is the last thing I can do for you."

The arc of the corner of the mouth became wider and wider, and finally settled on the angle he had been familiar with for thousands of years.Garrod froze in place, watching Glorfindel motioning for Steve to take him away, moved his lips, but couldn't utter a single word.

But that person seemed to have heard what he hadn't said, leaned down with a smile, and kissed his brow as in the past.Then, without hesitation, he turned around and gradually disappeared into the bright sunlight at the entrance of the cave.

"Let me protect you one last time."

It seemed that Lord Jinhua's relaxed and joyful voice could be heard in his ears, but was drowned out by the mournful wailing of the half-orcs.Garald closed his eyes, turned around in the opposite direction following Steve's strength, and ran towards another exit. The sadness on his face was only for a moment, and was immediately replaced by the same bright smile.

It's just a temporary departure. One day, all the separated people will still meet again in this beautiful world.

He has always believed so firmly.

----------

"boom--"

When they heard the roar of the ruins collapsing, the three of Garrod had already reached the edge of Avalon.And just as Glorfindel said, none of the half-orcs who followed them into this ideal land could appear in front of them, and all of them were buried together with the cave in the kingdom of the lake elves.And what disappeared along with it was the little will left by Lord Jinhua at the end.

"He's already gone back." After searching with magic, Merlin nodded, and glanced at the elf beside him who had been hanging his head: "Because Glorfindel itself is not on this continent, the projection left behind lasts only It's been so long. And for the elves, the decline of Middle-earth is very serious, and it is already the limit to retain such a little power, so...so..."

"So" for a long time, the mage didn't think of anything suitable to connect to the back, so he could only sigh silently.On the contrary, Captain America listened to his words seriously, pondered for a while, put his hand on Jarod's shoulder, and looked worried.

"Are you okay?" He gently squeezed the back of the elf's neck: "If you are sad, you can say it, we talked about it."

"Ah?" I kept groping for the arrow pendant on my chest unconsciously, as if I was in deep thought.Jialuode was suddenly put on the shoulders of his own netizens, instinctively stunned, and soon realized that they seemed to have misunderstood something.

"I'm fine, Captain."

Shaking his head, he signaled the other party not to worry, but it was obviously of no use.He looked helplessly at Captain America's obvious expression of disbelief, pursed the corners of his mouth, and emphasized it again: "Really, this matter still can't hit me."

Elves are not afraid of parting, and no one knows this better than Jarod.Anyway, they will meet in Mandosli in the end, and time is like nothing to them.This is the advantage of race, and it is not a pity on the other hand, but in view of the complexity of proving this philosophical issue, Mr. Elf does not intend to discuss it with Steve in depth.What's more, Glorfindel left him with something more important than sadness, and this is what he needs to think about now.

"I was just thinking about it."

Wisely ignoring the complex expression on Steve's face of "I understand your feelings, you can actually come to my arms and cry, there is no need to pretend to be so strong", Garrod picked up the chain of the arrow pendant and lifted it to the The position where the eyes are at the same level dangled in front of the captain's eyes for a while: "Have you noticed, it's different from usual."

Ok?

Raising his eyebrows, he carefully observed the sharp arrowhead.Steve soon discovered that the surface of the arrow pendant seemed to be brighter now than it was slightly dull before, and the engraved emblems on it seemed to have life, becoming more vivid.Under the sunlight, it looks like flowing golden water waves flowing wantonly in the silvery white arrow pendant.

"Indeed."

Reaching out to touch it, the coolness left on the fingertips doesn't seem to be as sharp as before.The captain raised his head and looked at the elf with puzzled eyes: "What did Glorfindel do to it?"

"If only I knew."

Maybe the guy just wanted to polish his token a bit?

He glanced at Merlin questioningly, but found that the mage who was proficient in magic kept shaking his head.Garald could only reluctantly tuck it back into his collar, shrugged, and continued walking in the direction he came from.

Steve and Merlin followed closely behind.

Like coming here, leaving Avalon is almost silent and without any warning.If it weren't for the mage's reminder, they might not even know that they have gone out of the range of Avalon. Only the normal functioning communication equipment on their bodies can prove this.Standing in the forest that served as the entrance, Captain America took out a spare headset from his pocket and put it on, planning to contact S.H.I.E.L.D. and send someone to pick them up.While he was connected to the channel, Merlin stared at Jarod for a while, and finally moved before staring at the elf, pulling his right hand and placing it in front of him.

"……what are you doing?"

Watching the mage's eyes flash a golden light, and at the same time, Jarod also found a circle of golden lines slowly appearing on the back of his hand, although it disappeared soon, but if you look carefully, you can still see it. Faint marks left on the skin can be seen.

Knowing that Merlin would not do anything against him, Mr. Elf just stood there, waiting for him to finish the matter before asking questions in doubt.

"I left a spell on you."

After looking at the back of his hand for a while, he nodded with satisfaction.Merlin let go of his hand, and patted the elf's shoulder instead, the faint frown between his brows finally relaxed a little: "Although it's not a complicated magic, it should be useful when you are in danger... your enemy is not good To deal with it, it is always right to pay more attention.”

Although he hadn't seen that 'Sin' before, it was definitely not a character easy to deal with for Jarod to fail seven times. He didn't want his friend to make such a terrible mistake again.

"Of course, I didn't say the wrong spell this time."

After a pause, looking at Jarod's expression, the mage added emphatically.

"Ah...then thank you.

Although I don't quite understand why Merlin suddenly regarded him as a high-risk group, but it was always a good intention. Mr. Elf quickly thanked him, and he didn't think it would be offensive to be left with magic on his body casually.

And when he was curiously looking at the magic pattern on the back of his hand, planning to ask the mage how to use it.Steve, who went to contact Coulson on the other side, had already come back, still pressing the communication button, but his face became much more serious than before.

"We must hurry back immediately."

Intersecting what the agent had told him with what Glorfindel had said, the fire burned even hotter in his heart.The captain held the shield in one hand, and the other hand fell on the elf's thin wrist, as if afraid that he would disappear in the next second, he clenched it tightly.

"Don't leave me one step from now on, Jiajia."

Frowning, he said:

"That 'Sin' led his orc army to declare war on the Avengers, targeting... you."
