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。
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfvtci9usH
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbhXBSjSPS
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC9qRv8Kzx
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！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu7EGtoRgv
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2KsOS8loy
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？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3geyirQ5Yg
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzDxckKsrx
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f9JL6Ye3v
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgIRTwUBXB
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvqLURDhZ7
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4t5RakEQQ
「艾莉娜，你還好嗎？有沒有受傷？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwOBcrZpyu
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhYYpWxpYu
她抬頭一望，只見梓承一臉擔憂的看著自己。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRAGRQaJkl
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXN4GpLNkX
又一次被菲恩保護了呢。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexOK1l4epc
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTRClr8L2j
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f5FbALdMT
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe89qZvTxQd
你會保護我嗎？487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGG4F3nA2S
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7JP504O5J
他做到了。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CjkUUqnPT
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9tRohXGUV
可是她並沒有感到特別高興。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhnZGYxKb5
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4laZGsxEv
「我……沒事。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBXuAAbdFZ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnLWs3OWc3
不對，這不是她想要說的話。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7Tlz9NZrw
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUc3yO34LU
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJWmcmeOoj
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ALkYvLX9U
「菲恩履行了湖邊那晚的承諾呢。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlahQb77aPj
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSIKBwAH6H
艾莉娜莞爾一笑，嫣然大方的笑靨讓梓承不覺看得痴了。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ldh0FMA3D
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEideHoAiYf
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr25yhFZ3sc
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQKZgNX3tB
要這樣一直躲在他的背後受他保護嗎？487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReBf1CTOhk
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3vn4C5nB0
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLi8IBFCYC
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeLAzDPGXg
「只有【關愛】和【分享】兩個無用技的我，有資格站在你身旁嗎？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpvwVVQBKW
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGHIdCVgHw
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZxB2O5P7k
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F7dzLAYZ9
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD0fl2k5yf
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vxbMQO1Ch
「如果我也能戰鬥的話……」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78J7g9uyAJ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo3MRPCQAx
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jRE7ik8qU
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9mVCEoLU9
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHw4T8Omdy
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcWPcKOgRx
「艾莉娜……」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGMwYauzZJ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVtJzjuwlq
梓承跟雪露說罷回過頭來，但艾莉娜卻已經不在。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdgxOvOR5p
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghUQBvhnX5
「你有能力救人，但憑這樣的你還是無法給她幸福的。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFWnlcj5ms
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgr6Q5es5g
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuPdJJ8atI
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oPZjpqc6F
「莫里斯，你這句話是什麼意思？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeITRItSKEl
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpOBMdEJYr
「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。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnSLm2IKIx
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAkrmOL6xZ
「我知道你和艾莉娜情同兄妹，但……」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2tKHy48rz
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxyZfI5TGY
「誰要跟她情同兄妹啊！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwToo1tStU0
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65O7lgfaDo
「咦？」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaKVsutWIn
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1qOL18NCz
「我一直都喜歡艾莉娜！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtIAVjl4pq
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MeDBkcFy6
咦？487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQLwOPNue6
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zZTdFv616
慢著慢著，莫里斯那傢伙說什麼？487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpCBko9A4F
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprrWS00bxq
喜歡？487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJLTAkK3JA
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbELXLV9q9D
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JJ45S8Zfb
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU4d36gHAn
「你這傢伙！那晚給我超難喝的提神劑，原來是在公報私仇！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCw5JvAKJ3
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ew5Ye5g8
莫里斯嘿嘿一笑道：「怎樣？要保命退出的話，現在還不算遲哦。」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD60TOai0Sr
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70aTIxhqYs
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9CWwqmZIq
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbKnoOw1TL
最後他選擇了無視莫里斯的喊聲，邁步往前追上艾莉娜。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IXHOyPLPh
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1IGVufgnM
不管了。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKq3A74NVi
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoDdDfhWr3
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux2eKnc2iR
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4b92CZskU
最後他從後捉住了艾莉娜的手。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizqDJWNyLO
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxLSAFTO2f
「等等，艾莉娜。有件事……」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8wncZRWNx
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sG4SAYFHa
「你們怎麼可以突然在這裡封路！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOmWzqv17f
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLDFBL1Pzh
「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！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHATRyp3TsQ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0uSY8ppAt
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j3FqTClx5
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVnJocbKCw
「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！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCCYcOzNOg
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp2VDQLYIK
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTIhflnn32
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmDEGHJcAd
「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！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5pH245KaN
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhQEl8gTkq
「你們這些衛兵隊知不知道羞恥兩個字呀！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeBstd9eqL
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbsVYEnsJ2
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH85deZBqdw
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9QHImS6vN
「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！」487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbqMmZrMQB
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JHohOtYMz
沒有給任何理由，也沒有任何協商的餘地。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3znBsUwSYT
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn0bHeUETy
現在後退，就要回到灰衣人所在的街道。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtcqkms9CJ
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rcNDiYk6M
而前進，也要跟全副武裝的衛兵正面交鋒。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiif9MDNwE
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzWwCRfgwv
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UjTsoClw2
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8dubwLSrL
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。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp69Qnw9fkf
487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpqlmHul3B
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」。487Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VIS4bG4Gf
