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。
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIzv8WDvx4
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhumhccCE5
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf5fWyT0Uf
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！」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfSbZzRCL2
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOvlEyls9Z
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？」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG77SLXklp7
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmarbKPqi6
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErgxiGjw87
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8SYnEcB4L
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImzYXDuMST
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuzfrCMfUh
「艾莉娜，你還好嗎？有沒有受傷？」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ucChWRwiA
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhpI9Zetvw
她抬頭一望，只見梓承一臉擔憂的看著自己。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEWtoZfbly
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFVjodA2da
又一次被菲恩保護了呢。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobgcZVeqHH
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgcV3dwLWJ
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDxQkaLhTE
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBWlraPhy6
你會保護我嗎？574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYnAUHy7v0
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhdbNqAELn
他做到了。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU0LrM5t76
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc2reKLKKd
可是她並沒有感到特別高興。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCNUK2vNsp
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF5Vv6QDpw
「我……沒事。」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI6AKaG8F0
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAutdTKE5mD
不對，這不是她想要說的話。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1TsYSrbRp
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r87GAoIR9
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy8iDWZoIQ
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNDK2TwRGR
「菲恩履行了湖邊那晚的承諾呢。」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnVwfdwDQb
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwtxtk1C5n
艾莉娜莞爾一笑，嫣然大方的笑靨讓梓承不覺看得痴了。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSb0NrSKCp
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30CLE1bieP
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ0drAPhpB
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikioQB2HIR
要這樣一直躲在他的背後受他保護嗎？574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffnK9qcGGI
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkuhQ8fEzX
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LNpgamO3E
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JL3SMHC66
「只有【關愛】和【分享】兩個無用技的我，有資格站在你身旁嗎？」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIcll3LNfv
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMtnajd00f
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs1v9EwDA2
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2n6mlPRTUc
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrEBkrFcWd
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5UY6uIzBF
「如果我也能戰鬥的話……」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGMEjsJLmc
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AlYAgWDb6
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqti1IcpES
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ42cStJ5al
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ni0cEoG1n
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCNYvw8xHi
「艾莉娜……」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPqGJMIJ7C
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS1szdpzXJ
梓承跟雪露說罷回過頭來，但艾莉娜卻已經不在。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0POUUt6k9w
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqv0jFI8zh
「你有能力救人，但憑這樣的你還是無法給她幸福的。」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm5kmQU8EL
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGhKgQKrEQ
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2w8J22j9l
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuue4klx9io
「莫里斯，你這句話是什麼意思？」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqOr5Sjxqg
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AQOmWd8XU
「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。」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpBqcuPn4p
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CDIqvz604
「我知道你和艾莉娜情同兄妹，但……」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmX1KSCXpt
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3n6cCZ94g
「誰要跟她情同兄妹啊！」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQTCKjKGOu
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXrMRhWTf2
「咦？」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM786ddHaLb
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXNIWyfO6r
「我一直都喜歡艾莉娜！」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76hI0ytFPB
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyKit9Jwxx
咦？574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69V7IcpqxK
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcYXVRPash
慢著慢著，莫里斯那傢伙說什麼？574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISt4ZAOC0m
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5CR6xn1pK
喜歡？574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1RcqWGxdO
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPmpKKRNLg
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH0vx4p23M
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVrvDdMdRk
「你這傢伙！那晚給我超難喝的提神劑，原來是在公報私仇！」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW9XRph52U
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75D8UGun22
莫里斯嘿嘿一笑道：「怎樣？要保命退出的話，現在還不算遲哦。」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDvgrPiJOz
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFsI33eRxf
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzmXbiEHaa
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoHQtkkUnt
最後他選擇了無視莫里斯的喊聲，邁步往前追上艾莉娜。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOt2CoPa9K
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoObuRMDzh
不管了。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqpcPLJirO
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzMEAF5aVA
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLJVjL52U0
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp3n2oSOGx
最後他從後捉住了艾莉娜的手。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qs7gS7Hw7
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAseQWTszc
「等等，艾莉娜。有件事……」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlupBUS4GFz
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiTdyTvZQb
「你們怎麼可以突然在這裡封路！」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uOFkqchjH
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKL7vft2X8
「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！」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1RSlofaqI
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vN7d8e9Z3
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP2I7GcXdj
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKxT1oVi3u
「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！」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcBJoJn0Zi
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHrtX8X6o7
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG6yqiOWd6
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM2ACU2iGb
「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！」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupa1lAOI5Z
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs7HtsK1WY
「你們這些衛兵隊知不知道羞恥兩個字呀！」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoPfvz5mLL
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnXobsTFpy
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGFKZMejin
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5pdwPlQZO
「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！」574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1zLhTz2JY
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaaqR9iYuF
沒有給任何理由，也沒有任何協商的餘地。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SFKgQQ0EA
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxftV1SpJE
現在後退，就要回到灰衣人所在的街道。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab8OFfIiIw
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15XpNHxwRm
而前進，也要跟全副武裝的衛兵正面交鋒。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F9IclQgaL
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkicuadxnm
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4PhIGidme
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsL8IcKVZh
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。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGxHAm7XJS
574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbWry652sZ
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」。574Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQMOk8Bq8P
