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。
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO24jcMJH4
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThdXz72kpv
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIXEuLgX3E
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！」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMbeLef7l1
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKwFSc4dRN
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？」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y4EMgCWl1
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgozu5UEBVC
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy54NvK1Twe
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpQt0reUnG
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9O0sCsUny
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShZMmq8aUW
「艾莉娜，你還好嗎？有沒有受傷？」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SUnctDAlT
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7YstNPHmR
她抬頭一望，只見梓承一臉擔憂的看著自己。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPC3lQGobF
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBCP06FclV
又一次被菲恩保護了呢。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSXv0s3rM0
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RpCxowbKw
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPykOmi50Bh
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YHrD7fim9
你會保護我嗎？530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbjUTCEVPM
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRYI907oEv
他做到了。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigjoyJW3PC
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8lGyY0scK
可是她並沒有感到特別高興。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAtxyoHOzA
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCIm8J7TO1
「我……沒事。」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DLn4gBU4x
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFowyb2MmGo
不對，這不是她想要說的話。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckzkaC6R0W
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD5OfoMws8
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMehss0GUPy
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDre8vBlUa7
「菲恩履行了湖邊那晚的承諾呢。」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81PshvT17j
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2vgaPvGRd
艾莉娜莞爾一笑，嫣然大方的笑靨讓梓承不覺看得痴了。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmz6wEvI8b
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjpnwtVZDz
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEd46HHMoV
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TkjTf9HfK
要這樣一直躲在他的背後受他保護嗎？530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYxITcYcNX
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ibfmeXjDf
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU8dMtOqeZ
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTxwqNzpXR
「只有【關愛】和【分享】兩個無用技的我，有資格站在你身旁嗎？」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCnsGfhN1h
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzhnkFDq3q
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuRPwozb5M
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07nJ1787Ek
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZQTVYm7vE
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxnXVNZCSj
「如果我也能戰鬥的話……」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO7Gbm6xkb
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5NRUjrFzK
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqwcaE4SHf
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTcXpkREI3
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM93gWdLl1H
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI4fu1NhN2
「艾莉娜……」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lMHi66rlg
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT0rz9muFK
梓承跟雪露說罷回過頭來，但艾莉娜卻已經不在。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyZaF1BSux
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jlPSgFcUP
「你有能力救人，但憑這樣的你還是無法給她幸福的。」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHz8T5K5wk
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJzEzUHSKw
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmCXN0oeu2
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsQOdaSeQi
「莫里斯，你這句話是什麼意思？」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MYGbRfVxL
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ4NSQAlgo
「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。」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BjpcW1JRP
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgooLJqa4vg
「我知道你和艾莉娜情同兄妹，但……」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYAcmqIW32
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfLPlFN7Dd
「誰要跟她情同兄妹啊！」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamXh9uCjtd
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5pTuFwS2S
「咦？」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GAPFpydf5
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtHqWtHHEP
「我一直都喜歡艾莉娜！」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZVDJ8VdZz
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvjp3NEDQS
咦？530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHzyKgmWO2
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAtjPSTZSY
慢著慢著，莫里斯那傢伙說什麼？530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PsuHb7WuR
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLzyQgPO2L
喜歡？530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEjeq2XbS7
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbnxeOAAA5
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZYJGIrvUi
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj8pHAnl4s
「你這傢伙！那晚給我超難喝的提神劑，原來是在公報私仇！」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLi11GpmR5
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4dDayxJ0D
莫里斯嘿嘿一笑道：「怎樣？要保命退出的話，現在還不算遲哦。」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDYGI0kRSH
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vTKVIjyMJ
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE77icJece7
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3MwZBELm3
最後他選擇了無視莫里斯的喊聲，邁步往前追上艾莉娜。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC3hnWPqL4
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7w5NSs2fq
不管了。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTApfA3UTQi
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k5ttwxkna
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiTWgMKyVx
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvbD2XVJnI
最後他從後捉住了艾莉娜的手。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzSL0auh04
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtADVC9fFD5
「等等，艾莉娜。有件事……」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlbdkYaATg
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCqIzyqLaQ
「你們怎麼可以突然在這裡封路！」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirTuEuH6uC
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvrZeThpaD
「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！」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptZmOKM1E0
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ277B7fLJrl
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JMbUB6pgz
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWzkTccRBW
「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！」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xTbUeO3U8
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AQ5fqpbRW
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDyuOeEe96
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdv96Bjji1
「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！」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUGJYCqTdC
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdTl8jWm3v
「你們這些衛兵隊知不知道羞恥兩個字呀！」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw66WmvLmTm
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTpclQpajM
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLHlluwLh3
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyuuYfYVPg
「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！」530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Hk9kAkxq
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI1KWnVac2
沒有給任何理由，也沒有任何協商的餘地。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuLPtnUMjD
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeImySzREk
現在後退，就要回到灰衣人所在的街道。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1pEHddAPc
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM19qaPvsws
而前進，也要跟全副武裝的衛兵正面交鋒。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb4qAFb4Sn
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0SF90QsDu
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b5AWERwPj
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TPM2CTIY7
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。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDD2DGAJ2v
530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUgaJhzmcH
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」。530Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hRTIodmH7
