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。
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTyPjruJqW
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DQViVpVNn
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFxzHkBcD2
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！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL1fBq2K9b
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiVlHrHRcu
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？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox0iaBaOJZ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qL075Wrvl
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRGyjuXlsM
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoQTnfabt8
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCqjCElhCw
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxt0VlAjtd
「艾莉娜，你還好嗎？有沒有受傷？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhxS6d4ErE
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4PxrZMRjw
她抬頭一望，只見梓承一臉擔憂的看著自己。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHum2jzWrr
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsfkDisFqt
又一次被菲恩保護了呢。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vsD7bqdoQ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvETnGiw2OC
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIDgjGNj16
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLP8zidN7q
你會保護我嗎？419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaPJVAcls2
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7BvRhgJy6
他做到了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrta0EZin7r
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsGWpM15HT
可是她並沒有感到特別高興。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMMN529ngh
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xIMobRG9m
「我……沒事。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjq4dSZEDT
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYisEnVn4nH
不對，這不是她想要說的話。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp1vxdwYx6
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2jNDktQ1P
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm8ihQ9D7v
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcwgllj1pm
「菲恩履行了湖邊那晚的承諾呢。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUp5bnv1U0
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M1rpKvq0O
艾莉娜莞爾一笑，嫣然大方的笑靨讓梓承不覺看得痴了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rCbO8Yzfv
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJMILrTBDF
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JVDec1jis
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF2vHKocuJ
要這樣一直躲在他的背後受他保護嗎？419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGcESeBJ4U
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOGViu4nHL
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66cx2m4rN7
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EIRJEGFOf
「只有【關愛】和【分享】兩個無用技的我，有資格站在你身旁嗎？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd7Ksri4VO
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVvyv8sDhh
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIahLHMn2ym
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2BhfMdafp
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVMFpMsU4V
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF8RKviWyA
「如果我也能戰鬥的話……」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqyeBKHyB7
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsOZW2z4ps
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc7pWjZa9s
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUjdGjqmeF
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylbkjSI7pc
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaaUyNexFV
「艾莉娜……」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEGhv9qB8X
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ9EnM3Pgo
梓承跟雪露說罷回過頭來，但艾莉娜卻已經不在。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNdpcQJIo5
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHuWjG0M4l
「你有能力救人，但憑這樣的你還是無法給她幸福的。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPybAECKKt8
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xwFnvqiUf
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9PyFfmB5R
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeFMowUFAC
「莫里斯，你這句話是什麼意思？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7zuFmWcgd
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ6QyjyzLR
「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。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZchAZ9AVN
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QYIW8w8zl
「我知道你和艾莉娜情同兄妹，但……」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpwAjJ7Xgg
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUEPZjDfsB
「誰要跟她情同兄妹啊！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxM5PQgeeX
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgkO6RclET
「咦？」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2orAlFilnP
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCaOR9fR9p
「我一直都喜歡艾莉娜！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejfJ3o9Ysn
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxGuBqPrum
咦？419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAV8w5CiMH
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtkU55t96G
慢著慢著，莫里斯那傢伙說什麼？419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWtu4yzVfN
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotoJBnshtx
喜歡？419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kHbrMokRF
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHubHqA9MoF
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuezRk25lg
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTtquPJASa
「你這傢伙！那晚給我超難喝的提神劑，原來是在公報私仇！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxfrFscmRX
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigSRXXtbIg
莫里斯嘿嘿一笑道：「怎樣？要保命退出的話，現在還不算遲哦。」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefKcqmXNxX
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6BdGrMrtF
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QQ5t6GUGf
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9RaJii0BN
最後他選擇了無視莫里斯的喊聲，邁步往前追上艾莉娜。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ox54eabs
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb77075JwVb
不管了。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyyeMt7ev2
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKNWt5htnL
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSK2ifcitZ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwpcFqUyWR
最後他從後捉住了艾莉娜的手。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ddd61FNOp
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uM9CAicYS
「等等，艾莉娜。有件事……」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cyrhTod11
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51vLoDZMKk
「你們怎麼可以突然在這裡封路！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUOSKnzfxA
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVSxEjtnU1
「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！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVDKRgD47H
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbjOaryoaK
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxdwgsa7Zi
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCYpeN6dI2
「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！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsawBqTulMa
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h7QvZfjdo
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr56LvJ18zm
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56RnBFMprl
「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！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzOKhDvvmo
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeVngl03S7
「你們這些衛兵隊知不知道羞恥兩個字呀！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnK9hkuLKn
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv9bw1uNEo
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobgJf8ESfw
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffTPDUvYgr
「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！」419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv1wgzMCTZ
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GdDCBR874
沒有給任何理由，也沒有任何協商的餘地。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrGueg2rRI
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xzRMjDB4y
現在後退，就要回到灰衣人所在的街道。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IkVzuobhG
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuzcMde0wa
而前進，也要跟全副武裝的衛兵正面交鋒。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgk50tZFUg
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFaYYGiHmm
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAox7EdOu4
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcXSqKbG3U
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。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jUZHctcQD
419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDrFch5LzV
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」。419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9WAXMNR3B
