[Zongmeiying] Wait, am I going to die?

Elrond and Thranduil's next destination is Star City.

The elf didn't like this city when he first traveled - he felt a kind of superficial prosperity in this city, neither like the splendor and vitality of the metropolis, nor like Gotham, which almost combines weirdness and splendor. Darkness hangs openly on the name.

In Elrond's eyes, the Star City at that time was nothing more than a gorgeous appearance and a rotten interior. No matter how it was covered up, it could not hide the smell of blood and resentment.

So when the half-elf mentioned Star City, Thranduil raised his eyebrows.

Elrond always feels gentle and kind to him. After all, the reputation of the master of the last home of the elves is almost unknown in Middle-earth.It is hard for Thranduil to imagine that the elf lord would have such an attitude of displeasure and disgust, except for dark creatures.

The half-elf frowned slightly, and paused for a moment before talking about his experience in Star City, about the unimaginable distortion and darkness of the rich and powerful after being glamorous, and about how a mother could continue her life after killing her husband and son. Life... [Note] "You know that's not surprising. Human beings with a limited lifespan will rot, and their hearts will be corroded." Thranduil put his hand on the half-elf's shoulder, his words were almost cold, but his movements were very Gentlely, "The reason why the Númenor Empire sank, and the reason why the Lord of the Rings was not destroyed on the Doomsday Volcano the first time, is simply because human beings couldn't resist the temptation."

And that is closely related to the other half of the blood of the elf in front of him——

Thranduil knew that it was not that Elrond did not understand this truth, but that it belonged to the human bloodline, and the influence from the twin brothers made the half-elves always lend a helping hand to humans, and also made the half-elves degenerate to humans. More regret and disappointment.

For most of the pure elves, they are children favored by gods, darkness cannot infect them, time cannot change them, even death cannot take them away, so when they face other races, they have Ilu The indifference unique to Weta's firstborn.

Degeneration does not belong to them, nor does corruption belong to them. Elves can fight in blood and die in darkness, but they will never be corrupted by darkness. This is the pride that flows in the blood of elves and in their souls.

And Elrond... he was too close to man.

Although Thranduil trades with humans and can send food and clothing to humans when they are hungry and cold, he is still not as close to humans as Elrond.For the king of the dense forest, the only ones he is close to are the people of the dense forest and his son, and now there is at most one Elrond, and the others are not within the scope of his concern.

It is his kindness to help with little effort, but it is not his responsibility.

However, the elf lord also took up the responsibility of the twin brothers that belonged to humans, so he hated the dark side of humans even more.

Deep love and responsibility.

"I know." Elrond lightly placed his hand on the back of Thranduil's, and the emotion in his voice had softened, "Our primary goal is to retrieve the Codex."

He is not a resident of this world, and even if he makes a move, he can only help in the slightest, and cannot change the general direction.But since even Gotham has its own guardians, Elrond feels that this darkness in Star City will be expelled one day.

When they came to Star City again, the half-elf couldn't help but feel a little surprised by the tense atmosphere in the city. The once peaceful illusion seemed to be opened by some powerful force. improving.

"It seems that humans don't need you to worry." Thranduil said to Elrond after reading the news about the security guards in the temporary hotel.

"This is the human world."

After Elrond finished speaking, he pulled out the map of Star City and moved his fingertips to the port.

"The last time I came here, I sensed the power of the code here."

The King of the Jungle just raised his eyes and didn't even bother to look at the map, so he nodded and said, "I'll go there tonight and have a look."

——When did the Herald of the Noldor do something unreliable?

But the plan always seems to be unable to keep up with the changes——

Two very innocent elves get caught up in a fight on their way to the port.

Star City, as its name suggests, is brightly lit even at night, like stars falling to the ground, reflecting a splendor of starlight, but in the shadows cast by the light, there are always some unseen acts quietly taking place.

Elrond and Thranduil originally planned to walk slowly to the port. Anyway, under the artificial lights, the light of the elves became less conspicuous.

But when they walked halfway, Thranduil stopped abruptly, then Elrond lightened up and was taken aside by the Elf King with his arms around his waist, and finally a red and yellow lightning flashed past them.

The two elves couldn't help raising their eyebrows.

——That is a speed that humans cannot achieve.

Elrond is fine, he has seen all kinds of "supernatural powers" in Clark, and the speed of this person just now may be a bit faster than Clark's current speed - the elf lord doesn't think that the godson's current ability is no longer enough. Reach the limit.

Thranduil was able to see the figure in the red and yellow tights clearly because of the talent of the elves and the senseless enhancement of the sentry—even if the taste of humans in another world is changed, it is still so strange...

Just when the two elves were about to continue heading towards their destination, the red lightning turned a corner and ran back, bringing a gust of wind and passing in front of them again.

"Oops! Overrun!"

"..."

"..."

Elrond and Thranduil glanced at each other, smiled helplessly, and continued walking.

But apparently the night's troubles were not over yet.

The third time they stopped was because of a fight not far ahead.

"It seems that your gift of foresight didn't tell you that you should not travel today." Thranduil glanced at Elrond. Although this half-elf inherited the ability of foresight from the ancestors of Maya, he could only passively accept some unpleasant things. good news.

"Fate is the most unpredictable, Thranduil." Elrond was used to this.

Even if he accidentally glimpsed the trajectory of the future in the dreamland, it is of little use to him who cannot change his destiny.As the lord of Rivendell, Elrond will always arrange everything properly to face the known or unknowable fate.

Even though the elves stopped, the sound of fighting ahead became more and more clear.

One of them was dressed in green, which made Thranduil feel a little friendly—this security guard called "Green Arrow" looked quite similar to the Silvans in the dense forest in terms of clothing and weapons. .

Of course, elves are much more slender in stature.

"Hey, sorry, you can't rely on this!"

Red and yellow lightning suddenly appeared in front of the two elves, and the guardian of the central city next door, The Flash, made a big "fork" with both hands, and said loudly.

"Thranduil." Elrond looked over the Flash and looked forward - he sensed a familiar force, "It's the power of the Code."

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you listening to me? Are you still online? Hey, hello?" Barry the Flash finished speaking quickly before he realized, "Huh? You mean you know what's going on with that man?"

"Your companion can't kill him." Elrond felt carefully and confirmed his speculation, "That person is not alive."

Green Arrow Oliver Queen obviously also noticed the situation here, he exerted force on his feet, instantly distanced himself from another shadow, and came to Flash.

"what happened?"

Elrond stretched out his hand, and the Via Ring given back to him by Thranduil gleamed at his fingertips, and the trajectory of the soul power hidden behind the "puppet" was clearly visible in the eyes of the half-elf.

Then, he cut the puppet's thread with his own mental power, and the figure quickly turned into a mass of ashes.

However, this is not the end. The power ten times faster than the power of the soul that manipulated the puppet rushed back violently. Even the superheroes and elf kings who could not see this power felt the huge coercion. In the eyes of the lord, there was simply a wave of power.

There was no need for Elrond to say much, Thranduil knew what the other party meant with just a glance from his gray eyes, he embraced Elrond, and quickly chased in the direction of the wave of power .

The advantage of the sentinel is more obvious at this time. With a weightless elf, his speed is not comparable to that of ordinary humans-but it is ordinary humans.

The fastest Flash in the world can also follow along and ask about the origins of the elves, which caused the king of the jungle to want to kick him away several times.

Following that force, they finally came to the port they were scheduled to arrive at.

The Flash who stopped and the Green Arrow who barely kept up looked at the sea in surprise——

A dilapidated big ship with only two colors, black and white, was slowly sailing out to sea, disappearing into the sea filled with thick fog.

"Ghost ship!" Barry the Flash looked at Oliver, his voice was a little trembling, and he didn't know if it was because of his high-frequency movements or because he was really afraid of ghosts, "Are you still haunted here?!"

"...disappeared." Elrond's eyes were a little blank, as if what he saw was different from others.

"Elrond?" Thranduil held the hand of the half-elf and warned in a low voice, "...don't follow."

He knew the stubbornness of this half-elf, but he rushed to follow without knowing anything, even if there were really fragments of the soul code, they would not be able to get it back.

Elrond finally came to his senses—the fragments of the code here should be larger, because even he was affected.But who exactly is using this fragment?

He patted Thranduil's hand lightly, and turned to the human hero who had been watching them secretly from just now.

"Hello, I'm Elrond, and he's Thranduil."

The author has something to say:

[Note]: The mother here refers to Oliver's mother, who is the background of the American drama Green Arrow.

There are still roles for Superman and Bat, but it is currently the Green Arrow's home game, and Xiao Shan has a sense of presence.

Clark has become the last superhero hahaha, ignore the timeline or something... I think the DC family might not be able to figure it out!
