[Zongmeiying] Wait, am I going to die?

Thranduil and Elrond are shopping.

Yes, shopping.

The elf lord and the elf king of Middle-earth held hands—well, not—and walked the streets of New York in the new century, feeling the cultural atmosphere of new and new humans in a different world.

In the words of the elf lord, the human world has changed a lot and he really wants to understand it.

In short, idleness is idleness, and of course the Elf King will accompany him to the end.

——If you don't look at Elrond, this half-elf may not know where he will go!

Thranduil has not forgotten the premonition that the cunning Noldor said before.

"People in this world are very creative." Elrond looked at the surrounding skyscrapers and various advertising electronic screens with interest, and some fantasy works seemed lifelike even to the elves.

But in just a few decades, human beings have developed so rapidly.

"It's also very impetuous and frivolous." The Elven King glanced at all kinds of strange men and women on the street, and said in a voice that only Elrond could hear.

"Not at all." Elrond shook his head, "And they are indeed full of vigor and vitality."

Thranduil did not refute this point - after all, he saw New York almost turned into ruins in "Avengers vs. Aliens".

Now not only the city seems to be completely new overnight, but even these human beings are full of energy and continue their respective lives, which shows the strength of the spirit of fighting against the blow.

"Hey, isn't this the captain's father?"

A cool sports car suddenly stopped beside the two elves. Tony took off his sunglasses and leaned against the car door: "Sol is looking for you, what do you want to ask about the ring, please show me?"

Thranduil glanced at the unarmored Iron Man, then turned to Elrond.

"Frivolous and inventive representation of humanity."

He spoke in Elvish.

Elrond couldn't help but smiled slightly at the rare childishness of the Elven King.

"I'm definitely going to be an elf language translator—" Tony was like a fluffy cat rolling and scratching at his heart when someone spoke a language he didn't understand in front of him. Uncomfortable, "I don't think that's a good thing to say, have you recorded it, Jarvis?"

"It's been recorded, I don't think that's a bad word, sir." Tony's electronic butler was, as always, more emotionally intelligent than his master.

"That won't be known until the old Popsicle has translated it. Remember to remind me not to let the Winter Soldier and the captain collude."

"Captain America will not collude, sir."

"What, aren't you my electronic housekeeper?"

……

While Tony was arguing with his electronic butler happily, the two elves had reached a decision through their eyes.

Elrond stepped forward and gave Tony a slight nod.

"We'd love to go, need to call Steve and Bucky?"

"Don't worry, someone has already picked them up. We already have ancient living fossils, how can we miss modern living fossils?"

His sports car beeped a few times, the door opened automatically, and the elves took the initiative to sit in the back seat.

Tony Stark whistled and started the car.

"I haven't carried a creature older than Sol, I definitely want to collect this car!"

"If you have any questions, you can ask directly."

The sudden words of the elf lord made Tony couldn't help but drifted on the road.

Letting the wind blow against his face, he still looked at Thranduil, the king of the jungle by the side of the road, and sneered, "Still good at reading people's hearts, Elrond?"

Ignoring the older elf who was throwing a tantrum for some reason, Elrond just looked at Tony.

"I have only met your father twice."

Today's weather is fine, under the sun, the ancient elf is sitting upright, with long hair and clothes are meticulous.It seems that you are not sitting in a speeding sports car, but in a quiet mural.

"But even seeing Howard Stark as a father for the last time, it's easy to see how much he loves his children."

※※※

Natasha, who received the person first, was waiting in Stark Tower with Steve and Bucky.

As soon as the door opened, Captain America and Winter Soldier were grabbed by Iron Man's arms: "Are you sure elves can't read minds?"

Steve takes one look at Bucky and smiles—and there's a hint of it in Bucky's eyes, too.

"Ada has it, mind reading."

No matter what he did when he was a child, he would be discovered by his adoptive father immediately. It's not that he deliberately wanted to hide Elrond, but every time he didn't have time to tell the elf, the elf had already shown a clear expression.

That had amazed him for a while, and Bucky and Bucky had done all sorts of things to test his adoptive father's mystical powers.

"Well, Mister Elrond has telepathy."

While fleeing, the Winter Soldier once felt the warm and powerful force that allowed him to stagger from the ruins of his mind to become what he is now.

Tony looked suspiciously at the two old Popsicles—you know, they both belong to the same country.

"...Are you kidding me?"

"You can keep doubting, but doubting won't do you any good." Captain America said righteously.

Tony covered his ears and made a gesture that I would not listen, and walked away to the side.

Compared with Thranduil, who had been here before, Elrond showed more interest in the ubiquitous high-tech in the mansion.

"Mr. Elrond, I can provide an operation guide if you need it." Jarvis' voice came out of nowhere.

The elf lord paused for a while because of the existence form somewhat similar to that of Dr. Zola, and soon, he sensed the real existence of Jarvis.

——An electronic product created from nothing by the hands of the Son of Man, but...

"You have a soul."

Elrond closed his eyes, and the golden structure in the darkness beat like the heart of a creature.

"My honor." Jarvis's signal transmitted a wave of joy, and then opened a simple, easy-to-understand and practical manual in front of the elf lord.

The elf lord was the first to feel Thor's arrival.

Because Via emitted light, echoing the deep echo of the hammer in Thor's hand.

Elrond's eyes turned to Thor, who was wearing his armor and looking down at Thor's hammer.

The scenery in front of him suddenly changed, and the elf lord knew that he had picked up another piece——

Something stirring in the wind awakened Elrond.

He opened his eyes and found that he was almost buried by the wind and snow. The blond elf beside him was lying quietly in the snow, and Alpha and Palladia were almost dying.

It was a brutal battle, his sentries tried their best, and Elrond had to squeeze the last bit of his mental power to maintain Thranduil's consciousness in a state of madness while providing support. the edge of.

A vortex suddenly appeared in the wind and snow, and there was a familiar scenery and a familiar face on the opposite side.

But Elrond shook his head sharply.

"Do not……"

He whispered, with uncontrollable heartbreak in his voice.

"No, come on, we can't leave yet, he can't just leave like this - he's going to die!"

Then that unknown voice sounded.

——If you don't leave now, you will never return to that land.

——Choose, son of the elves, stay forever, or return to the other side.

"……go back."

Cold hands held Elrond's trembling fingertips, and the pair of blue eyes opened in the snow were firm and persistent.

Thranduil uttered Elrond's thoughts in a weak voice.

"The war is not over yet, we have to go back."

Elrond looked at Thranduil, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the Great Green Forest showed a proud smile.

"You are worried about your Majesty Gilgalad, and I am also worried about my Ada, Elrond, this time, listen to me."

Elrond took the sentry's hand tightly.

He wanted to say that crossing the barrier of the world with the link broken and not knowing what effect it would have on them, especially Thranduil, who was on the verge of madness.

He wanted to say that as a healer, he had seen too many berserk sentries come to an end because they lost their connection with the guide, and he never wanted Thranduil to become like that.

He wanted to say that they weren't even an orthodox sentinel guide, and that this kind of adventure would probably cost the elf in front of him his life!

But he couldn't refute Thranduil clearly and plausibly as usual.

Because he knew that Thranduil was right this time, and they would stick to the right decision to the end.

Not that having their last alliance would change the tide of battle, but let them watch their brethren fight the darkness on the battlefield and do nothing - they couldn't.

They also bear the pride and the future of a part of the elves, and they have an inescapable responsibility.

Elrond closed his eyes, ignoring the sharp pain and gathering the last of his mental power to appease and stabilize Thranduil's consciousness, even unable to care about the connection between them.

Thranduil stood up, grabbed Elrond's hand, and quietly faced the changes of time and space.

"Elrond!"

Elrond, who had recovered from the past, opened his eyes suddenly, and met the worried face of the Elven King.

Thranduil held onto his shoulders firmly, and Steve and others behind him also looked a little panicked.

"I'm fine." The elf lord straightened up and said to the humans who were worried about him.

The brain still felt the faint sharp pain, but the half-elf knew that it was not real, it was only the afterimage of the past projected in the brain, which touched the memory in this area, whether it was pain or the scene just now, it was all gone. Thing of the past……

"I have a guess about the current situation." He said to Thranduil, covering the hand that Thranduil was supporting him with a comforting meaning, "I'll tell you later."

Then he turned to Thor, waiting for his question about the ring.

The author has something to say:

Kings and lords of modern society:

The lord is completely curious about everything, but he is in a calm scholarly state with a calm face.

What the king said is like - you don't want to go back to Middle Earth and go around here!This feeling... ╮(╯_╰)╭The next chapter will be the next world~~~~~

Your Majesty, please continue to look for the lord to destroy hahaha
