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。
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN9K7OYugP
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8JoIvQ9aF
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTGkD5nb2x
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！」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu84CHF4lb
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0bURGd648
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？」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3QfRAHU1n
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZvTRqbMlP
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinNOTEXCyY
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm4trLNZIF
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiKHxoUg46
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGAJUZsWtS
「艾莉娜，你還好嗎？有沒有受傷？」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gX1vWroZB
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gYDWfRt2N
她抬頭一望，只見梓承一臉擔憂的看著自己。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDScqsDJrR4
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhp2LV4NvN
又一次被菲恩保護了呢。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdv4eRqmDm
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1OLK4fQsW
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjcl4vZl8O
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wp3Ab3svt
你會保護我嗎？537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuwZD0k2rM
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c1NCX1myT
他做到了。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJCvwTa8sV
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89UBeeO7Zo
可是她並沒有感到特別高興。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsFRpil6Iv
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq91w2BIcvm
「我……沒事。」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhJ96AsxpS
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbG9jE75EY
不對，這不是她想要說的話。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHJuKML0Fj
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuFVIDyjNq
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdD9eBjV8q
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVjbbiRm14
「菲恩履行了湖邊那晚的承諾呢。」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmACMreqOJw
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvysqkqqWf
艾莉娜莞爾一笑，嫣然大方的笑靨讓梓承不覺看得痴了。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiHdaNO6Ms
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv6kkQlt0J
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UiTxTNORX
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcElNF02Az
要這樣一直躲在他的背後受他保護嗎？537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fu4ycGEzB
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQhmo3eubX
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXMblYC7Xc
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqD2fLRZk8
「只有【關愛】和【分享】兩個無用技的我，有資格站在你身旁嗎？」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE1ynBmZVb
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSO0mGQ7Pg
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTHXHbBoMd
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXluGoJ2uuP
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXTuwiIuxC
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkcsoNtrWP
「如果我也能戰鬥的話……」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DLL5lSA1W
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9slfKfuiY
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sxm8ZwsNU
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoXkK5auJ9
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjVOw5D9kw
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R0Z4vFfu1
「艾莉娜……」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaQYxkWQC7
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOhgokzHDT
梓承跟雪露說罷回過頭來，但艾莉娜卻已經不在。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCoj8LZNFr
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoOl27rfML
「你有能力救人，但憑這樣的你還是無法給她幸福的。」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4vvBTYMwf
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc7nLicxPo
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcaLsSb5Ap
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGgFqcCSfc
「莫里斯，你這句話是什麼意思？」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH79tdpdvp
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebMkkl7nmS
「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。」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUOKqC7qOf
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkJeT8FQp2
「我知道你和艾莉娜情同兄妹，但……」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp1SvJY08P
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsk3AdhkET
「誰要跟她情同兄妹啊！」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe359R5M111
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q8ljlG9XW
「咦？」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wXYoC1eSW
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJnkqHNhtA
「我一直都喜歡艾莉娜！」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw3cx64py8
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPDQTIginm
咦？537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbJXQUFy0j
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U1QNaQem1
慢著慢著，莫里斯那傢伙說什麼？537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFdemLHDXY
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76jr4nRudo
喜歡？537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Xs5nzo1x
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu08tghdf5
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv9Hn5tZNk
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGsQORz4m2
「你這傢伙！那晚給我超難喝的提神劑，原來是在公報私仇！」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3yoaFyo7x
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lMq2HazbG
莫里斯嘿嘿一笑道：「怎樣？要保命退出的話，現在還不算遲哦。」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPRadRVZ1D
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OVLNK2vCM
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmdmLKVSy3
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAXpYEpB3o
最後他選擇了無視莫里斯的喊聲，邁步往前追上艾莉娜。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1gfmbQDXm
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zcPMu2XQC
不管了。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNNzQL1b7n
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9anTnzDlz
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsKUtMcGMi
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaphNtom1G
最後他從後捉住了艾莉娜的手。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfsCFjzBjk
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1n1UgN1Ew
「等等，艾莉娜。有件事……」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquL0AQysnv
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiGimLhz1d
「你們怎麼可以突然在這裡封路！」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bXEUCJUQA
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1fRpFl3aW
「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！」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjWzYJ5eoY
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki5RZoRSEA
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPQB3DwVtj
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nMkbPhCgT
「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！」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatgxCirm9t
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1QmcD9qR9
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN9sCCcMIz
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmew02tgfR6
「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！」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOnf6TCz7p
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeJZDFHyNN
「你們這些衛兵隊知不知道羞恥兩個字呀！」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyD0lttlGZ
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY633pAKUr
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhshtvy8RLo
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW0QZzw0xh
「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！」537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq9yxky20K
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSJEosHZud
沒有給任何理由，也沒有任何協商的餘地。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzHCdS6LVo
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dyUprQX2F
現在後退，就要回到灰衣人所在的街道。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNkLr1ttYB
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuOuyJ7nCj
而前進，也要跟全副武裝的衛兵正面交鋒。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3OTPC4tvc
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPiP8nAOrp
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupAqKxniAG
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQblQYZG0CZ
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。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1QTUeMzfb
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOxxXpR3YP
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」。537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc0SukuWpq
