自離開歐利伽米之後，這三天眾人一直各忙各的沒空聯絡。難得梓承和克里斯惹得哄堂大笑，驚魂甫定的各人便索性在原地交換起情報來。
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2xz7mNMPk
綜合各人所說，梓承很快便掌握到大家在過去兩天的動向。首先是莫里斯和丹尼花了兩天時間，終於成功聯絡正躲著衛兵隊的克里斯。然後就在雙方見面的時候，一群灰衣人不知從何處冒出來見人就斬，而正在街上做直播的維比還有替馬庫斯買藥的艾莉娜更是首當其衝。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFIgEJgsMR
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZcI1FbEXJ
維比想起剛才千鈞一髮的處境，帶着餘怯的怒道：「那些衛兵之前還到處抓人，現在竟然在街上半個人影都沒看到，就連衛兵局的大門也被反鎖，根本兩幫人就是蛇鼠一窩嘛！如果剛才不是菲恩及時放箭，後果真的是不堪設想！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQLNxHFKlp
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTf3hy9aEp
丹尼聞言朝地上啐了一口唾沫，手指劈啪作響的道：「我認得那些灰衣人裡頭有幾個黑道的傢伙，沒想到魯珀特的混帳竟然跟黑道聯手對付普通市民。怎樣，有誰想跟我去衛兵局大鬧一番，出出這口烏氣？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOaFpNxUr7
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5KreS8zfv
對此提議，坎迪絲和部份學生當然立即拍手叫好，但莫里斯和埃里克卻認為當前急務是要把傷者送到聖域醫療隊總部。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUP2luGhtP
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOThcqVKk49
就在各人七嘴八舌議論紛紛之際，一直在一旁沉默不語的艾莉娜突然聽到了一聲呼喚。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrWuxB184V
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0w8ydVT83
「艾莉娜，你還好嗎？有沒有受傷？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojpEWYLlvc
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tRjYinYmg
她抬頭一望，只見梓承一臉擔憂的看著自己。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqCwiA48nQ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCr877tr0m
又一次被菲恩保護了呢。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NUqKa3CGe
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCRNJiSXx2
艾莉娜想起在阿爾塔湖，在那漫天螢火蟲的湖邊，眼前這個男生向她許下了一個小小的承諾。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsYWgjKUkU
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NMKvCeG2L
你會保護我嗎？414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhGgjPLIgc
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrneCgN4YKz
他做到了。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZswkOAI5s
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDzYdrsIzb
可是她並沒有感到特別高興。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraIk8m9J8J
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza3QCazJtU
「我……沒事。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWSXC0iAtV
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ngvJ9yt6T
不對，這不是她想要說的話。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizl2tkRN0b
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh9QriuV8s
可是看著梓承靜靜地站在那裡，擔心的神情寫滿了整張臉，原本想要說的話便卡在喉嚨說不出來。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU3IioQ9XD
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH6VHNogs5
「菲恩履行了湖邊那晚的承諾呢。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYPdnDc6zH
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61znJ0D7EH
艾莉娜莞爾一笑，嫣然大方的笑靨讓梓承不覺看得痴了。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmPbdzfVuG
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfnLvIMdDN
但很可惜，他始終沒能察覺到那張笑臉背後隱藏着的淡淡哀傷。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNLjk6FRpL
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4ApVj9yaJ
要這樣一直躲在他的背後受他保護嗎？414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi1N3xEzSw
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6s7Z7bbxg
自目睹梓承在競技場賭命似的戰鬥之後，艾莉娜便開始意識到，自己不願躲在這個男人的背後，一次又一次看著對方為了別人弄得傷痕累累而自己卻什麼都做不到。尤其當聽到坎迪絲眉飛色舞地說著梓承如何在河堤上以遊戲退敵，還有維比稱讚着梓承百步穿楊的箭術成功將大家救出，當初在祈願殿堂因為全是無用技而沮喪不已的男生，現在已經成為她無法輕易講出「想要跟你並肩一起走」的英雄。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHkHYmf9TQ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV01pn5fqc6
「只有【關愛】和【分享】兩個無用技的我，有資格站在你身旁嗎？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Q9DZG3Zi
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev2sOKlPYW
她想不通，為什麼想走在喜歡的人身邊竟然會是這麼的困難。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKqbxNlmsE
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXn3tD7fK7
就像那晚在湖邊捉緊了的溫度，如今正在不知不覺中逐漸消失，而她卻一點辦法都沒有。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB4eBo0WlM
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyoaZpBadd
「如果我也能戰鬥的話……」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMgT2J0WgN
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzopdxrZHU
就在一滴淚水從艾莉娜臉頰滑落之際，雪露的呼喊剛好讓梓承轉過了頭，錯過了最重要的那一秒。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qcfg8odJa
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Psyr7eqK9
艾莉娜聽著雪露和梓承對答。在經歷數次出生入死之後，某種牽絆正在這兩人之間交織起來。而相對地，艾莉娜卻感到跟梓承之間的距離越來越遠。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvRC9JLJhP
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Z2g8e2tI
「艾莉娜……」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdgYvxXRum
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaInN8CNtQ
梓承跟雪露說罷回過頭來，但艾莉娜卻已經不在。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpQ2JviAjM
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVXHaCAlgS
「你有能力救人，但憑這樣的你還是無法給她幸福的。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCj6V5abhn
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgZeysMHfF
莫里斯突如其來的說話讓梓承止住腳步，一臉愕然站在原地。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZokix1zbx
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8rhPXldGm
「莫里斯，你這句話是什麼意思？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0xYLnRIGD
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNkUFNgGEQ
「你對艾莉娜有多了解？她的過去、她的喜好、她的想法，你知道多少？我跟她一起在聖域長大，十多年時間，她所有的優點和缺點我都清清楚楚。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPHBhx7F54
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRZrtZjuUA
「我知道你和艾莉娜情同兄妹，但……」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXAA9ylUXm
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUY9SxcTcdR
「誰要跟她情同兄妹啊！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9RCSC974N
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4brSGDFs3
「咦？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAv5XRIHhCl
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGwPC1Hw8d
「我一直都喜歡艾莉娜！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCQjQgYYZv
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjf1XnVsjr
咦？414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo33o8KENH
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxcnyjB8Ak
慢著慢著，莫里斯那傢伙說什麼？414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6GqrlTVhL
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUTQMqNQqK
喜歡？414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X1XyXgv5s
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrg3HclCyT
梓承起初還以為自己聽錯，但看到莫里斯正經八百的模樣，他突然想起在歐利伽米的時候，莫里斯就硬塞過一瓶超難喝，口感猶如生吞惡臭史萊姆的提神劑給他。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnptGMWRzsQ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMaqOjmOGp
「你這傢伙！那晚給我超難喝的提神劑，原來是在公報私仇！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFI7s0E8un
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsi0xrUk8X
莫里斯嘿嘿一笑道：「怎樣？要保命退出的話，現在還不算遲哦。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBXErXEnGV
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdiAE6QL7T
作為一個標準宅男，梓承在愛情面前打退堂鼓本是理所當然的事。可是當他一想到離開赫澤爾頓之後，這生恐怕難再看到艾莉娜的笑臉 —— 一種陌生的揪心痛楚讓他打住了念頭。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1fw2VLrfL
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp2iRccPWx
最後他選擇了無視莫里斯的喊聲，邁步往前追上艾莉娜。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKoVAMph8y
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB53jwRNUN6
不管了。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RzdvxT1o6
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCrcmOLVqD
即使離開赫澤爾頓之後要去哪裡、要怎樣生活，還有許多細節現在都沒有答案，但這刻他還是想把這份任性的想法傳遞給她。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShAUzC8w7G
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lBbfdGw3b
最後他從後捉住了艾莉娜的手。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3GSgNg2fC
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJK5FwWNUb
「等等，艾莉娜。有件事……」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4XQxaXvwA
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbqERwNU8q
「你們怎麼可以突然在這裡封路！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5DGwSOWou
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUBesmh9LN
「不就是嘛！我們是普通市民，你們衛兵隊憑什麼無緣無故妨礙我們回家！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z4IfgovGq
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fsoHjy3Ds
梓承呆一呆，發現前面人山人海。在愛德華大道中央位置，不知道什麼時候被衛兵架起了一道臨時關卡，將通往豪宅區的道路徹底堵死了。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYzVGmKyn0
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoyJszhB9M
「你們現在正進行非法集結，請馬上離開，否則我們將會使用最低武力將你們驅趕！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4VOYIOAxK
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNXR3kJp6o
衛兵冷冰冰的廣播進一步激化已經沸騰了的民怨。不少人甚至開始向臨時關卡投石，嘴上破口大罵。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWklSfWVeP
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguLR7Lqt4d
「不見人！剛才那些灰衣人襲擊我們的時候你們這些衛兵隊跑到哪裡啦！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBkGJ7tWDY
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOWvv3Sdji
「你們這些衛兵隊知不知道羞恥兩個字呀！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMji74y7ES
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo0xrXhE2a
在一片「開關」的喊聲下，衛兵隊再次豎立黑色的警告旗幟，手持盾牌和武器的衛兵在關卡面前一字排開，眼見流血衝突是已經無可避免。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85XQYXHmbd
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S3PEWPxNe
「最後一次警告，立即離開愛德華大道，否則我們將會使用武力！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hFNZzLB7s
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMaAgdnsgd
沒有給任何理由，也沒有任何協商的餘地。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfgKk21AjN
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SNInfpM2f
現在後退，就要回到灰衣人所在的街道。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zta2eqcVD
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl6dJyhyhm
而前進，也要跟全副武裝的衛兵正面交鋒。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AhQuin13f
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5BFfqw16D
被逼進絕境的民眾眼神開始轉變，紛紛露出一副豁出去的神情。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsGmzIAhSG
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3diA1821A
一場雞蛋與高牆的戰鬥，即將就要在愛德華大道上爆發起來。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaV3clrOFk
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq04qkpjW4F
這場暴力衝突，就是後來王國嚴禁民眾提起或哀悼的「愛德華大道襲擊事件」。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaWDyv9S9h
