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。
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgDewcomvA
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtXATI71Rl
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyuQJnOpIp
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！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmlvSYeFyF
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xHKRbf2iw
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？」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYHwxzZjxC
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5AJPnyLmq
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aFHH55EXc
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7HJ8y36UE
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qbJmPPWjz
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgQDuJTg1Q
「艾莉娜，你還好嗎？有沒有受傷？」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlsclHndH8
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskyiKfuUuF
她抬頭一望，只見梓承一臉擔憂的看著自己。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0220sAKZtD
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUb3WySjBC
又一次被菲恩保護了呢。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIqgQlyzcU
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFnr4Adw8e
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzu9T4lAzp
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zwe5dQS5g
你會保護我嗎？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaMvQO7noX
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qnXk5asR3
他做到了。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRr4mPXEqg
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYX2l0qrj6
可是她並沒有感到特別高興。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ONJnLQRfX
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEjB5g4a2w
「我……沒事。」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CAFGXAPpt
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcERnC394r
不對，這不是她想要說的話。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt8VG602aR
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HYGiwUVaL
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GqpcrXQgm
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz3rC1nwco
「菲恩履行了湖邊那晚的承諾呢。」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D1eU7q74m
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPmCbiRsg1
艾莉娜莞爾一笑，嫣然大方的笑靨讓梓承不覺看得痴了。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj8WdIvL9x
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91flRuUUpN
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j5x3wGrj0
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0wug0pWaZ
要這樣一直躲在他的背後受他保護嗎？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq35l9pZuzo
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkICjQBO4iL
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lObHzUp0B
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeqb5ficTv
「只有【關愛】和【分享】兩個無用技的我，有資格站在你身旁嗎？」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchWn0xQ6OT
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYgFWiDl6p
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0jDz3OkAf
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnG8BR7scC
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dXN8lsAAW
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi8cxyyLxS
「如果我也能戰鬥的話……」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MrEmWmQTJ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWjWVzfaSk
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoualpdzUpd
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqhqyqWoVU
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgwdWdcNKx
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOzFfhLfO0
「艾莉娜……」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8WoPcO72z
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwkUjT5Mqq
梓承跟雪露說罷回過頭來，但艾莉娜卻已經不在。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND25X1bouB
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftX9HQenwE
「你有能力救人，但憑這樣的你還是無法給她幸福的。」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk8BucqwXZ
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbRrys5Xi2
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZTfZkZ3cm
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam6Z1QCM0E
「莫里斯，你這句話是什麼意思？」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFu8fDdqB3
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWJHMJRdOF
「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。」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9ETdouh94
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebgaZ1RInC
「我知道你和艾莉娜情同兄妹，但……」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn78VVnZ0xK
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn9NGlhH3o
「誰要跟她情同兄妹啊！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgjwgI8Fs7
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EHzqx4HHI
「咦？」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONra3OBFwY
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUpRdFrMtK
「我一直都喜歡艾莉娜！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfZD3ckvdA
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8vce0KFEQ
咦？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX56r7yxb7O
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Qab9i2Zs
慢著慢著，莫里斯那傢伙說什麼？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmNBwiYOFS
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f9zFSMcN7
喜歡？469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPE2bBwGAM
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4YeTXOLGE
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u6O6C3dgd
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIX6pEGLhF
「你這傢伙！那晚給我超難喝的提神劑，原來是在公報私仇！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lRxsguq16
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3LdaZE0Gb
莫里斯嘿嘿一笑道：「怎樣？要保命退出的話，現在還不算遲哦。」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiy3YbPu1m
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwfFqRYZeX
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo7VrH6FIz
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQzBtGVDtq
最後他選擇了無視莫里斯的喊聲，邁步往前追上艾莉娜。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyH1ISf0Vf
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8JCdgj4zb
不管了。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ZL3qA4qI
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SMV0WcRVw
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjMIqCwptl
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6wm6qo7JG
最後他從後捉住了艾莉娜的手。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI14HP627RW
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneAa8J98fj
「等等，艾莉娜。有件事……」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PrHOp0aEV
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSw4esj3v2
「你們怎麼可以突然在這裡封路！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E31KKPi8S
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYtJSNMxcq
「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！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIxIlxOEIa
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblaoIk4aZy
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWksBu4KMK
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIrXnhWc02
「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！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp2v8OCwNO
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot65a321Q3
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EdhD3QDVw
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0M9U6Hclg
「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！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sYYrmWsEL
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQUzeIFoOj
「你們這些衛兵隊知不知道羞恥兩個字呀！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiyj6m8qjd
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8hLwtS7VP
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9S8p5eLyG
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ3aVBsF2Q
「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！」469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWQP2go4YB
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEqAZcknta
沒有給任何理由，也沒有任何協商的餘地。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9oz8T8Syo
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UsUKSNMJ9
現在後退，就要回到灰衣人所在的街道。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp2DWEShc3
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdefk0VaHf
而前進，也要跟全副武裝的衛兵正面交鋒。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIWkRC0XNm
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj2MIcFALs
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9gnoml4Yx
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGORnb6UmD
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。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7wWEGkM8o
469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Ltz5Fz3U
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」。469Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEvFUKThRT
