聖域神殿外,一道紅霞連結着天地之間,破曉時份的新鮮空氣帶着深秋的寒意撲面而來。由於這時候馬車服務尚未開始,艾莉娜只能徒步跑回赫澤爾頓市中心。就在她喘着氣抵達位於商業街的衛兵分局門外時,天邊已經泛起了魚肚白,眼看人們亦開始離開家中,紛紛走到街上準備迎接新的一天到臨。336Please respect copyright.PENANAYoWSlmsuVE
336Please respect copyright.PENANAF5aa7sX6BD
艾莉娜登上衛兵局門外的石階,敲了幾下那道實木製的大門。可是等了好一會還是沒人前來應門,就像是局裡根本沒人一樣。336Please respect copyright.PENANAMN3sfRSdoE
336Please respect copyright.PENANAEOEMZk2wqt
守護赫澤爾頓的衛兵局竟然會沒有人在?336Please respect copyright.PENANA0EXOVKVKcK
336Please respect copyright.PENANAX3msZ45PjL
這原本是不可想像的事情。336Please respect copyright.PENANAiDR2JZWJiB
336Please respect copyright.PENANAsNe5IF92tJ
然而在領主頒布強制參賽法案之後,衛兵隊就一直肩負着逮捕反對法案的人士以及將逃避參賽的人們押送到競技場的重責。所以衛兵局出現重門深鎖的情況,對赫澤爾頓的居民來說已經不是什麼值得驚訝的新鮮事了。336Please respect copyright.PENANAuiZ7BfA5GS
336Please respect copyright.PENANADZPR43vGDO
缺乏這份認知的艾莉娜,萬料不到衛兵局竟然一清早就人去樓空,只能像隻熱鍋上的螞蟻般在衛兵局門外不斷來回踱步。直到不知道過了多久,一把聲音帶著些許調侃意味從遠處響起:336Please respect copyright.PENANAPNoTKSUwyg
336Please respect copyright.PENANAWUB8EJ2to8
「奇怪啦,我們今天逮捕了聖域的大人物嗎?竟然一大早就有人在局外等我們回來哦?」336Please respect copyright.PENANA0RjhIIkNoM
336Please respect copyright.PENANAMAeb2ooVSP
說話的女子一頭金色長髮,身穿輕便的盔甲,左邊腰部還掛着一把閃耀奪目佩劍。在她身後還帶著兩名衛兵,當中包括了艾莉娜正在尋找的托倫索 · 約克。336Please respect copyright.PENANAKiYknu9eYU
336Please respect copyright.PENANAhfCqJcedOo
他們一行三人來到衛兵局門前,就在石階之處停住了腳步。336Please respect copyright.PENANApMqb9qFfU5
336Please respect copyright.PENANADhEr5W4uqG
「京絲蕾副衛兵長,早安。」336Please respect copyright.PENANAjRhFUSZYeM
336Please respect copyright.PENANARZwZryoNMH
艾莉娜恭敬的口吻令茱莉亞 · 京絲蕾副隊長稍微感到一絲錯愕。畢竟兩人之前才為了釋放反對領主人士一事,在這個衛兵局門前唇槍舌劍的比劃了一番。沒想到今天挑釁的語氣卻竟然換來對方一聲早安。茱莉亞聞言後亦不得不稍微收起了作弄對方的心思,正色的問道:336Please respect copyright.PENANAKdxZhjVCld
336Please respect copyright.PENANAOmYMHdJX25
「你一清早就跑來這裡,是不是發生什麼事啦?」336Please respect copyright.PENANAbTQVAGYY1k
336Please respect copyright.PENANAMJAW0XenG9
「很抱歉,副隊長。我今天還是來這裡跟你要人的。」336Please respect copyright.PENANAjMmprELntz
336Please respect copyright.PENANA8Gb39T2mwB
茱莉亞難得改變態度,卻被艾莉娜如此回話。面子掛不住的她,瞪大眼睛微怒道:「什麼!?」336Please respect copyright.PENANAYKMUcuPURM
336Please respect copyright.PENANAXMxtOQ4y6W
「托倫索 · 約克先生,請你跟我來聖域一下。」336Please respect copyright.PENANAm38mSwfPgp
336Please respect copyright.PENANAXyNFbQLx1N
茱莉亞聞言先是一愣,然後回過頭去看托倫索,只看到對方一副略有所思的模樣,一言不發的邁步走向衛兵局的大門。336Please respect copyright.PENANAqwVrezZTbw
336Please respect copyright.PENANAu0jke53ZGy
「托倫索,這是什麼回事?」茱莉亞問道。336Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZpZqaKeYd
336Please respect copyright.PENANA50JBrE1FLA
艾莉娜擋在托倫索面前寸步不讓。336Please respect copyright.PENANA988Z5nITKc
336Please respect copyright.PENANArgcK5OVzjl
「約克長老昨晚發生了意外,現在正在搶救當中啊!」336Please respect copyright.PENANAvLxZSPbYQz
336Please respect copyright.PENANADWjaKCzNeM
其實托倫索早就預計會有這麼一天的來臨。336Please respect copyright.PENANANi1yyFyHWV
336Please respect copyright.PENANAoSmWCikdHV
他勸過、吵過,也曾為此感到過悲傷和憤怒。然而面對一意孤行的人,所有的情緒和說話都根本毫無意義。336Please respect copyright.PENANAuKAGIk5JWf
336Please respect copyright.PENANAlDjXFawBk6
最後,他累了。336Please respect copyright.PENANAJCGS0nMu3W
336Please respect copyright.PENANAimI7Fjs20F
「——哼,果然是這樣啊。」336Please respect copyright.PENANAnQz0yFHLi8
336Please respect copyright.PENANAhMMtG5Rizv
看到托倫索的反應,艾莉娜覺得心裡像被重重的打了一拳。336Please respect copyright.PENANA0HBjrr8IlJ
336Please respect copyright.PENANAloqB8v1281
「那是你的媽媽啊!你怎可以用這種語氣說出這樣的話?」336Please respect copyright.PENANAtB0yS1Wpa2
336Please respect copyright.PENANAKUvs76zSph
艾莉娜急得哭了。她曾因為約克長老的關係,好幾次哭到懷疑自己的存在價值。但今天的眼淚卻是完全有別於以往的感受。在理解到仕犽 · 約克的犧牲,還有親身經歷過跟約克長老一起拯救別人生命之後,這刻的她對約克長老只有無盡的感謝。336Please respect copyright.PENANAguI0hNlhUY
336Please respect copyright.PENANAM6ZW1rWq2t
「約克長老一直在守護你父親留下來的醫療隊啊,你究竟明不明白呀!」336Please respect copyright.PENANAr5GaRP5XCp
336Please respect copyright.PENANAfUwqYvADsr
「你少來這套了。」336Please respect copyright.PENANAKXEuqcwuVM
336Please respect copyright.PENANA7ih29EeeNz
托倫索對艾莉娜的淚水完全無動於衷,臉若寒霜的模樣就連作為同僚的茱莉亞亦感到異常陌生。336Please respect copyright.PENANA9NF54pcu1T
336Please respect copyright.PENANASz7f02WRJW
「你要恨的話,就恨我吧。當年你的父親為了不讓我成為孤兒,所以才會勉強使用【加速】技能的!」336Please respect copyright.PENANAfrVHJihZSR
336Please respect copyright.PENANAHBXs7ybX5A
聽到艾莉娜激動的喊聲,托倫索整個人僵住。336Please respect copyright.PENANA4ucyhJJmiS
336Please respect copyright.PENANAuJigMhwMIL
「小鬼,你說什麼?」336Please respect copyright.PENANALimwDXVk0h
336Please respect copyright.PENANAU2BAUOXkzz
托倫索一字一頓的道,但艾莉娜卻沒屈服於眼前的恐怖感和壓迫感,再次開口:336Please respect copyright.PENANAANFM9z41IJ
336Please respect copyright.PENANAtBpMEyvXIt
「約克長老究竟是帶着怎樣的心情繼承你父親的遺志,你知道嗎?因為她的存在,我和莫里斯這些孤兒才不用流落街頭,在聖域長大成人。你說她付出了一切,只是把幸福轉移給別人,讓你一個人陷入不幸,那是因為你的目光一直放在自己身上,從來沒試過從她的角度想想!」336Please respect copyright.PENANACNy4myg5Ge
336Please respect copyright.PENANAURpbgfxosW
砰————!336Please respect copyright.PENANAU22yrPjhhe
336Please respect copyright.PENANAyDtKPXJcgm
托倫索的拳頭僅以一毫之差從艾莉娜臉頰擦過,擊中在艾莉娜身後的牆壁。336Please respect copyright.PENANAWEGj2RRRrU
336Please respect copyright.PENANAzIp4nLiSpo
「你別在這裡以為自己什麼都懂!」336Please respect copyright.PENANAfUdIdfNzxn
336Please respect copyright.PENANAH3ULJ1IQbH
「是的,我還有很多事情不懂。可是我比你更清楚失去至親的滋味!我以孤兒的身份活了十七年,但你到今天還有着一個活生生的母親呀!」336Please respect copyright.PENANAqTJUbkEw3M
336Please respect copyright.PENANALbrzmzlAaQ
托倫索多年來埋藏在心中的憤怒和怨恨,被艾莉娜一語道破。得不到宣洩的情緒猶如怒海翻騰,看似一觸即發。336Please respect copyright.PENANAN89CLObFYZ
336Please respect copyright.PENANAxwgjnsdd5f
「托倫索 · 約克!搞清楚你現在是為什麼原因而憤怒,是因為怪責母親疏於照顧,還是因為你擔心她會跟你父親走上相同的路!」336Please respect copyright.PENANA0y3X6nh6fD
336Please respect copyright.PENANAU0c2VZNBcD
「你給我閉嘴!」336Please respect copyright.PENANAtagQNRnPuW
336Please respect copyright.PENANA84k6XoHJRy
托倫索暴喝一聲,這次拳頭直接朝艾莉娜臉上招呼過去!336Please respect copyright.PENANA8uYIFslSd2
336Please respect copyright.PENANA9GCWmcEpIY
艾莉娜咬緊牙關閉上雙眼,可是本應擊中臉部的拳頭卻遲遲沒有到來。336Please respect copyright.PENANAqC2Xnh1WxG
336Please respect copyright.PENANAOlRuup3JzU
「托倫索,我的小隊裡面可沒有向女生揮拳的混帳。」336Please respect copyright.PENANACNdKMWw1Nm
336Please respect copyright.PENANABC6cjYegNj
艾莉娜張開眼睛一望,只見茱莉亞 · 京絲蕾一手擋住了托倫索的拳頭,而另一隻手則摟住正要往後倒下的自己。336Please respect copyright.PENANALQIZzuBchK
336Please respect copyright.PENANAAics83UZfQ
「京……京絲蕾副隊長?」336Please respect copyright.PENANAmhuqaLX8nl
336Please respect copyright.PENANA55WRwk36EH
茱莉亞俯視着艾莉娜,友善地微微一笑道:336Please respect copyright.PENANAszeIITkB3c
336Please respect copyright.PENANAKJqzBseKxW
「這笨蛋的腦袋轉動得比較慢,這次辛苦你啦,小艾莉娜。」336Please respect copyright.PENANApAMDdpXL1W
336Please respect copyright.PENANAl5kK1TmVJQ
茱莉亞嘴巴上雖然說得輕描淡寫,但手底下卻對托倫索毫不留情。如今托倫索想要抽回拳頭,可是動了真格的茱莉亞把他的拳骨捏的劈啪作響,無論怎樣發勁拳頭還是紋風不動。336Please respect copyright.PENANAgzQTzzZFp4
336Please respect copyright.PENANAXn6BYgx3Ya
只見托倫索臉上一陣紅、一陣青,大顆大顆的汗珠從額角冒出,痛苦非常。即使昨日二人在聖域門口拌嘴吵架,茱莉亞亦未有如此震怒。他心中一凜,這時才想起眼前這位年輕的女上司,實力一直遠在他這個白銀鬥級之上。336Please respect copyright.PENANAICAyh5yUct
336Please respect copyright.PENANAO4cQQbUZNi
「托倫索 · 約克,立即出發到聖域見你的母親。」336Please respect copyright.PENANAVrD3J6Jocj
336Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8Xb9UOVcD
「可是……」336Please respect copyright.PENANAeMniumuhXb
336Please respect copyright.PENANANYZWyoJS8A
「這是命令!」336Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3bSws3BDV
