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。
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaojWs4ZPj
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfx84T6lem
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBNoz3Yi7A
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！」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS4vAJvmXU
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmbtonuZqC
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？」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyp96pXqNF
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aPTY6gLcO
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT7GpLW3HI
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK578mZQti7
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nvMjqqgcW
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMghjy6KIrO
「艾莉娜，你還好嗎？有沒有受傷？」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6JixJkEBl
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3O4hOyYuN
她抬頭一望，只見梓承一臉擔憂的看著自己。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eX0QruPzA
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3cPqupqXC
又一次被菲恩保護了呢。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYemwGiOOU
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXiq7Ubglr
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9NiUBpbxm
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepnWuCcywj
你會保護我嗎？514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LqRNfHzss
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eOjCNaSU2
他做到了。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqQlvBx9WV
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsqASpZAiQ
可是她並沒有感到特別高興。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRvTSn6Phg
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qWg2OtDdl
「我……沒事。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFLq5zWayd
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt22o2KyDLY
不對，這不是她想要說的話。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwS8OqA2MC
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKYzkReoXn
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j90iUb5N4
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrQ7QC0i9T
「菲恩履行了湖邊那晚的承諾呢。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8aomqTbMS
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW68MfADYFF
艾莉娜莞爾一笑，嫣然大方的笑靨讓梓承不覺看得痴了。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMPXinpAWN
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAEVfi9bhL
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxvjB3TX0G
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhibrwdI3I
要這樣一直躲在他的背後受他保護嗎？514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKjsN4XCIO
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAKnJpujYw
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJzyGXS4ZY
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxGXdiE3qq
「只有【關愛】和【分享】兩個無用技的我，有資格站在你身旁嗎？」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A5LPDx50b
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0ikhLY3xn
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu0OBZXj7d
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuxzeQYfiq
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cVk7bJkN8
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTkmLlDuDB
「如果我也能戰鬥的話……」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93XB6BlsWq
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsVg9FNXhM
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3uv57jxSl
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUc1dg1D1Y
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVOjebHt1E
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvOJ8iydpF
「艾莉娜……」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y0R36JzZE
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTtHF9amO7
梓承跟雪露說罷回過頭來，但艾莉娜卻已經不在。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1PeTQqpb8
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUX8t7SgsV
「你有能力救人，但憑這樣的你還是無法給她幸福的。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfPC7gUARb
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A9rc5RB2I
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j5Is3WVIa
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKpIK7PqjG
「莫里斯，你這句話是什麼意思？」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9si8PvXIwF
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmYUkHzcAr
「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。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gCv0uAlsX
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWEuI5P8Md
「我知道你和艾莉娜情同兄妹，但……」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeS6RtYcHsn
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMprifnNoj
「誰要跟她情同兄妹啊！」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EX8NbCzNv
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpgccWz619
「咦？」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinsg6pnTyD
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx142iI0H7Q
「我一直都喜歡艾莉娜！」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Kh7cNcrO
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53BmZWwbVv
咦？514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5ACWxA7jH
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JLipD1swT
慢著慢著，莫里斯那傢伙說什麼？514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oB33hTTe9
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IDxCPbrYU
喜歡？514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1vTyjy6xy
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bDf3dPbMz
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax3A8U3jdG
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOtc9i8hd9
「你這傢伙！那晚給我超難喝的提神劑，原來是在公報私仇！」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeHAxaL7yG
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus3sx5xE1C
莫里斯嘿嘿一笑道：「怎樣？要保命退出的話，現在還不算遲哦。」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9EyYj40NM
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzi0nhUW9r
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxAKwTSxKZ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoVHaY01Qv
最後他選擇了無視莫里斯的喊聲，邁步往前追上艾莉娜。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveF1B4Hh5U
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEMLJsAHXN
不管了。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CPN06ZKyT
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyyBvW8TAB
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmC6pxgYaq
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWDz1QUK6t
最後他從後捉住了艾莉娜的手。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZQS3oLvHL
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWHjYkK0Tb
「等等，艾莉娜。有件事……」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkenYoE6n9
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKFLeUOy0D
「你們怎麼可以突然在這裡封路！」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuS1djXQfK
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jy6OjtVTG
「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！」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz3I6MVRLA
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjb9Ok9ahE
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hmsbcyv48
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqanBypucZ
「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！」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorz3LqPb8v
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yhnOOvsb4
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAyAHeA3sz
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ESlmJ1HSM
「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！」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iXo7cfMjT
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rd7HTxZvz
「你們這些衛兵隊知不知道羞恥兩個字呀！」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwDCzrYDfQ
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtjKPyLbkP
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS882wV5nms
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP5vxQ2LzO
「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！」514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe8HDyg8jG
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhb9Ib5Cpj
沒有給任何理由，也沒有任何協商的餘地。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYu6Ierr2o
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAwglaSuKF
現在後退，就要回到灰衣人所在的街道。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7YcHtAHss
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd0pp0zem7
而前進，也要跟全副武裝的衛兵正面交鋒。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPlY24Mss5
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSRKg64Gdj
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyCC7Qybcp
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CkpAYCi61
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。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLaRR5GR2U
514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3dKKOShWm
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」。514Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDYpewJeM8
