[Zongmeiying] Wait, am I going to die?

Hearing the elf's friendly greeting, Flash immediately ran forward with a "swoosh" and stretched out his hand to the elf.

"I'm The Flash, hello hello, are you coming for that ghost ship? Do you know what that is? I mean—"

Barry's words were suddenly stuck. He seemed to have just discovered the difference between these two strange people. After all, not just any random person can shine in the middle of the night!

"Green Arrows," Barry murmured, his jerky brain not forgetting not to reveal their real names, "you see they're glowing, are they—"

"We are not ghosts."

The scene in front of him reminded Elrond of the time when he met little Steve in the last world. The elf lord couldn't help showing a gentle smile because he thought of his adopted son.

It was the first time that the Elven King was mistaken for a ghost, but since the human being in front of him didn't speak out directly, he just raised his eyebrows and handed over the negotiation work to Elrond, who was obviously more suitable than him.

"Who are you?"

The vigilantes of Star City finally spoke after watching for a long time, and the vigilance and vigilance in their voices were comparable to those of Gotham's Dark Knight.

"It's just a traveler passing by by chance." Elrond took the words of Green Arrow, he looked at the masks of Green Arrow and Lightning, and continued pointedly, "I don't think identity is important, purpose and behavior That's the point, what do you think?"

The implication is "you are wearing a mask, so what qualifications do you have to delve into the identity of others".

Standing beside Elrond, Thranduil raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

He knew that this half-elf was not as gentle and thornless as it appeared on the outside, but most people were deceived by the gentle words and ignored the obvious truth.

—that half-elf once the Herald of the Noldo with sharp words and sword skills.

"It seems right to say that." The good-tempered Flash nodded, apparently not feeling ill at the elves who helped them before, "However, if you know what it is, can you tell us?"

Recently, strange "people" suddenly appeared in Star City. These people seemed to appear only to kill the target. They didn't act like humans at all when fighting, and they couldn't communicate and could only make wild animal-like panting sounds.

On the first night of his business trip to Star City, Barry encountered the battle of Green Arrow, so he changed his costume and joined in.

Then they met Elrond and Thranduil.

The elf lord took a look at Arrow. Obviously, the skeptical human hero was not impressed by the Flash's proposal. He couldn't trust the two "abnormal" who appeared in Star City at such a time.

But the elf didn't need his trust at all.

Elrond just informed the "master" about the Codex of Souls from the perspective of a "guest", and said that the "ghost ship" may be the base camp of the fragments of the Codex of Souls, and the object they fought before was just the ghost ship. puppet.

"That means those zombies are real zombies?"

"It's not accurate. They are puppets dominated by souls manipulated by a certain will. Their bodies are not human bodies but human bodies simulated by some creatures."

"It's seaweed." Thranduil confirmed the composition of that body in a quick glance. Except for Clark, there is probably no one in this world with better eyesight than him.

"Wow..." Flash imagined for a moment, "It's kind of disgusting."

He felt like he couldn't eat anything.

"Then, we take our leave." Elrond said goodbye politely.

The Flash also waved to him happily: "Goodbye."

When the figures of the two elves were out of sight, Barry turned his head and looked at Oliver: "I don't think they are lying, but their identities make me very curious."

"I'll check it out." Standing in a different position from the beginning to the end, Green Arrow never relaxed its vigilance against the two elves.

※※※

Back at the inn where they were staying, the elves—Elrond to be precise—received two communications.

One is from Clark. He has entered the university and everything seems to be fine. From time to time, he will go to Gotham to find Batman, but the only one who welcomes him is always Grandpa Alfred.

"Bruce is always so serious, I sometimes follow him to 'Night Events' Oh, godfather, I think I can be a helper."

Clark's eyes were very serious when he said it, and Elrond could see that the child had come to the conclusion after his own thinking.

"But Dad didn't agree very much, he still said. 'Human beings are not ready, there are other options to help others'. People really will never be ready, right?" Clarke's blue eyes on the screen A little dim, "Look at their attitude towards that person... I may never be able to get approval."

—but you have already decided.

Elrond thought to himself.

"He's made up his mind."

Speaking the same words from the Elven King standing beside him, Elrond paused the video and looked back at Thranduil.

The Elven King thought of his son. He had seen the same determination in Legolas' eyes. It was the process of a child transforming into a grown-up, and no will could stop it.

"I know." Elrond nodded, looking at the child in the video, that child was like a star about to rise, and he knew he would do well, better than any elf lord had ever seen in this world. Man, any hero is more brilliant, he is the son of the stars, the son of the sun.

but--

"He will have setbacks, for Jonathan was right," said Elrond softly. "Man is not prepared."

The Elven King sneered, sat down beside Elrond, and took his hand.

"When did the master of Imlatri be so sentimental, Elrond? I almost doubt that it was another elf who adopted the son of Arathorn and guided him to the throne of the emperor."

"That kid named Clark Kent made the decision and is ready to take it all."

"But Clark is lonely." Elrond had put away his unnecessary worries, but he still had to sigh. "No one can understand his loneliness."

"Even you can't?"

"I can not."

Thranduil was surprised by Elrond's answer for a moment, but soon, this surprise turned into a surging emotion in his chest.

"Because I have you."

said Elrond.

Even when he missed Middle-earth most, Elrond never felt alone.Because he knew that no matter where the Elf King was, he would always come here and by his side in the end, and as long as Thranduil was around, he was not alone.

This elf comes from the same place as him, and has the same philosophy and the same mind as him.

—So Elrond couldn't feel that loneliness, because he wasn't alone.

"...I lost." Thranduil rubbed the side of the half-elf's face, couldn't help chuckling, "Elrond, Elrond..."

He repeated the name of the half-elf, gently pecked the kiss, and the trace of displeasure that had been hidden in his heart since he came to this world disappeared in the firm tone of the other party's words.

The elf king of the dense forest embraces his elf and his guide, and there is nothing but joy in his heart.

After an intimate exchange, Elrond continued to play Clark's message.

The child on the screen did not continue the topic about himself, but turned to Elrond's travels.

"I heard that you have already arrived in Star City. How is that city? Have you seen Green Arrow? Bruce acted like he didn't care at all, but I think he must have information about Green Arrow in his computer!" Clark flashed A pair of blue eyes, looking very happy.

The elf's keen hearing caught a small "hum" from the screen, which came from the master of the Batcave.

"Okay, okay, Bruce is glaring at me." Clark made a funny face at the screen, and his happy smile made the background of the video seem to light up, "Godfather, I wish you and Mr. Thranduil Everything is fine, I'm fine, don't worry."

When Elrond opened another video, he was also laughing, as if infected by the sunshine.

No one can explain that child's loneliness, but there will be another kind of compensation.

The earth is his second home, but it will never be his real home; but although he has no relatives and brothers, he will have an existence that is better than relatives and brothers.

The vision that had appeared before appeared before his eyes again, and the justice intertwined with black and red will raise the flag on the earth of this world, and the elf lord has never been so sure of this.

Sensing the joy of the half-elf, Thranduil raised Elrond's hand and pecked at the fingertips.

"I told you, don't worry too much."

Although the Elven King doesn't like humans, he has never underestimated humans.

——Although Clark can only be regarded as half human.

The second communication was quite simple. If it wasn't for the elf's better eyesight, he couldn't even make out the outline of Batman from the dark screen.

"A strange phenomenon has occurred in Star City." Batman's voice was still deep and hoarse, quite intimidating, but since the two sitting in front of the screen were two elf warriors who could kill even the devil in front of him, the focus was on the other party's kindness The sent information is up.

I probably figured out what happened to Star City recently. The elves guessed the same as Batman, and tonight's experience only confirmed this.

Watching Elrond skillfully use the "Bat card, an electronic tool that fools can use" sponsored by Bruce Wayne to reply to the situation of the opponent's Star City and thank him and Alfred for taking care of Clark, the Elf King pondered Moment said to Elrond: "Let's go there during the day tomorrow."

The elf lord instantly understood and nodded.

"Those puppets have never appeared during the day. It seems that the ship is parked somewhere during the day and only comes out at night."

"Maybe it's a lack of strength." Concluding this situation, Thranduil lay down with his arms around Elrond, forcing the half-elf to rest.

Although the physical fitness of the elves is better than that of humans, but they don't know what they will meet tomorrow, so it is better to preserve their physical strength.

Elrond was not obsessed with letting the Elven King go to another bed or sleeping in another bed by himself, but just said softly——

"Good night, Thranduil."
