黑夜過去,黎明破曉,校舍裡眾藍紅雙色的騎士們漫長的噩夢亦隨團長繆兒的歸來而終結。歡呼聲與笑淚響徹整座宿舍大樓,稍為抹散戰事膠著、生離死別的愁雲。282Please respect copyright.PENANAOj4NFtP5Wm

自黑白兩國開戰以來,放棄中立、轉站白石國婭基昂絲一方的艾斯托利克亦傷亡慘重。本來隨副團長艾斯法出陣的三千兵馬、加上之前繆兒親率的百人部隊,合共三千餘位騎士,如今仍然生還的大概只剩一半不到,負傷的更是不計其數。斯圖希安的黑色戰車,再加上包括繆兒自身在內、三位「主神兵器」無差別濫殺,至少令十數個大小部隊全員葬身戰火之中,而其餘的即使幸運地存活下來,亦不得不為隨時的喪命擔驚受怕。282Please respect copyright.PENANAuUWI44nThM

282Please respect copyright.PENANABRuEDWQOyN
儘管單憑繆兒一人或許沒法扭轉每位騎士的生死,他的出現卻讓眾人看到一線生機,點亮他們化作灰燼的希冀,撐起疲憊身子列陣在宿舍大樓附近的球場上。282Please respect copyright.PENANAbYqxBVqQVZ
282Please respect copyright.PENANAYOc3DTvKMg
282Please respect copyright.PENANADFeSZdjN4v
望向這幫久違擺出笑容互相擁抱的下屬,繆兒心裡卻冒起一絲悔疚。回想自己在被「心變術式」蠱惑那時,極度含糊的意識只能眼睜睜看著手中寬闊刀刃無情砍殺自己麾下血肉之軀,在他無盡的「人生」裡添上永不褪去的罪名。282Please respect copyright.PENANAsu9eoIPc10

繆兒發話一刻,球場裡遂即鴉雀無聲。即使後排的騎士們看不見繆兒矮小身姿,仍屏住氣息、豎起兩耳努力傾聽。282Please respect copyright.PENANAXrYy42bwXK

「我了解在我被蠱惑、蒙上叛國一名的日子裡,我的雙手沾滿了自己國家人民的鮮血,這個罪名亦將跟隨我直到永遠……」繆兒望了望眼前眾人,深呼吸一下之後再道:「現在,也請在場各位給我一次贖罪的機會,讓我親赴戰陣最前線,斬除黑鐵禍根,為逝者報仇雪恨!」282Please respect copyright.PENANAQPMQ0Aor9O

282Please respect copyright.PENANAPvd8SGvMiJ
趁著繆兒結束講話,默視台下一眾騎士們各自整合戰況之際,後方便迎來十位披戴翼冠與華麗戰甲的神兵,敬畏地在繆兒面前對其下跪示好。282Please respect copyright.PENANAOA35t9iuix

「睿智如您,想必知道我等現人神一族世代以來因主神而生、為主神而戰。友國的騎士團團長閣下身份超然、尊貴非凡,我等下神實在不敢無禮怠慢。」282Please respect copyright.PENANAtzD0LzUOkX

282Please respect copyright.PENANAuWv2yufTxw
282Please respect copyright.PENANAfrnmnM3Nex
神兵們仍然未肯平身站立,邊跪拜邊把一個精緻的紅木盒子傳到繆兒眼前。282Please respect copyright.PENANAAWVBUfBm8A

282Please respect copyright.PENANAzz40qwUzq7
此話一出,神兵們隨即面面相覷,凝重氛圍彷彿為該派哪位上前而相爭。良久,直到眾藍紅戰甲的騎士們相繼向繆兒簡略交代戰況,四散回到各自崗位之後,繆兒又淡然望向爭持不下、開始互相碰撞的神族之輩,指向當中拿著紅色木箱的年輕小子,輕嘆說道:282Please respect copyright.PENANAqlE6r80mYE
282Please respect copyright.PENANAdInA1z23K9
282Please respect copyright.PENANAUcpFHJJsT9
「唉……就拿著『厚禮』的你,跟我過去吧。」說罷他便隨即抬步起行,不願回頭多看這幫烏合之眾一眼。282Please respect copyright.PENANATiM4U3oGmH
282Please respect copyright.PENANAOZyp0Mbvzj
282Please respect copyright.PENANAX8OBelSc20
如此,不敢妄語駁話的一眾資深壯士,只好白白看著隨行同僚中最年輕的那位緊跟在繆兒身後離開球場。282Please respect copyright.PENANAKgzBmUIbN0

經過一番無言轉折,這剛加入神兵眾不久的新兵在機緣巧合之下,來到尊貴的神體面前。282Please respect copyright.PENANA7HtLLUEf2D

然而,本該只有以太一人靜躺其中的房間,此刻卻迎來了一位「不速之客」。282Please respect copyright.PENANAF3dUluXABc

282Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6rRdtLP0X
守候在以太身旁的,正是同為主神的機巧澤鉭。自以太不支倒下後,與他交下契約的澤鉭旋即自東向西、披星戴月之勢闖進花海裡聳立的粉白建築群中。機械式的思考回路抓緊連繫裡以太潺弱的氣息,無視身邊一切事物,在十數幢大樓成千上萬的宿舍房之中,準確無誤地找到以太所在的那所房間。282Please respect copyright.PENANA3AZKT73MWV
282Please respect copyright.PENANA4C9cVX3dQs
282Please respect copyright.PENANAnzIOHG3fMV
然而,只曉得自我修復的機體,面對因傷倒下的契約主,亦只得默站原地,無機質的兩眼一再確認以太仍然留有一絲氣息之後,便默默守候在側,以戒備態勢瞪視逐步靠近的繆兒。282Please respect copyright.PENANA4FJLOYQHCu

282Please respect copyright.PENANAnTPTETmaV2
282Please respect copyright.PENANAM35xhCDzp5
見神兵小子眼神抖大,望著澤鉭慌張得連連顫抖,繆兒便沒好氣地加以催促,使其焦急地跪在床前,先是向仍未甦醒的以太叩頭過後,便小心翼翼把紅木盒子安放一側桌子上。282Please respect copyright.PENANAobLIvx4hd6
282Please respect copyright.PENANAbyFkty3xIH
282Please respect copyright.PENANAYYmWYNcAMh
待神兵安頓好一切後,正當繆兒想把這笨手笨腳的神兵帶離之際,大開的門外卻又現出副團長艾斯法的身姿,連忙向兩人報告道:282Please respect copyright.PENANANbaYhoI95V
282Please respect copyright.PENANAI51YI72JRs
282Please respect copyright.PENANA0NkrE6Qlow
「團長,剛收到來自盟軍的情報,說斯圖希安那個『女皇陛下』會親自領兵攻打魔導大學領。」282Please respect copyright.PENANAXd3RZhWc43

282Please respect copyright.PENANA063Q2Rd40b
282Please respect copyright.PENANApuBIWDwxlT
繆兒眉頭一皺,便示意艾斯法隨他一行快步離開宿舍大樓,與鎮守校舍另一方的盟軍密謀對策。282Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ2HeRLmer
