經過一輪左穿右插，爽快微風從前方徑直撲來，輕輕吹起貝塔身後一雙銀色束髮。四周亦從兩面生銹鐵牆，逐漸轉變成一堆堅固岩牆。通道的盡頭是一道陡峭的斜坡，久違的陽光和微風從成人大小的洞口透入，是個恰到好處的脫出口。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv63cYqRVZI

眼見屹立遠方的黑色建築，以太又擺出一臉不屑，交叉著手領在貝塔與澤鉭先頭。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWf3E3GWaO

而在百感交集下，知道自己的名字大概已在斯圖希安人的追緝名單上，貝塔亦再無猶豫餘地，只能一路緊隨以太的步伐，盡力遠離黑鐵堡壘。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64qfIDSE5w

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc4sksbq1d
「也罷，至少我把這機巧從那些愚蠢人類的擺佈中救出來了。」想著想著，以太又斜眼一瞥身旁默不作聲的澤鉭，視線遊走在他全身，至少這位「器物」是他親手從敵陣奪走的戰利品，意味著這趟潛入作戰並非無功而返。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS31MPk2WIN

走沒兩步，遠處傳出一把爽朗聲線，衣著前衛的青年兩手背起張大嘴巴、略帶驚惶的女孩，踏著滑板輾過大片草原迎面撲來。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKFYqnbRKE

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXg5J5SLTE
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0ySaz2Cwp
待滾輪煞停後，柔伊便從克西背上一躍而下，正樂見貝塔無事歸來之際，目光迅速又投向站在以太身旁的澤鉭，注意力深深被他身上那副青邊銀鎧竹吸引。禁不住好奇下，兩腳開始漸漸靠近對方，粉色兩瞳對其上下打量，嘗試把這副軀殼上每一個細節寫進腦裡。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah9WWvpgbt

澤鉭只以標上標線的眼睛盯住柔伊，並沒有哼出半句回話。見狀，察覺到自己這般突如一問讓對方無從答話，柔伊唯有連忙再道：395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHvgpa16cG
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhhcCe5ABS
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlxeqBH1oi
「啊啊！我沒有惡意的……」她又識趣地回到克西身旁，對以太和貝塔道出來由：「喔對了！那來自艾斯托利克的騎士團長大人想你們來一趟他的據點，他好像有事要找你們。」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibzvWfkhj6

貝塔握起胸懷說著，雖然她並不知道對方底細與目的，她仍慶幸自己終於看見一絲曙光，或許可以借助掌權者的協助來打破窘境，讓她得以挽回失去他的定局。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LlWlrpKvX
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7JEFV4wta
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0PRfDrTAV
這邊廂，「騎士團長大人」一名，卻令以太翻起白眼，以為那不過是一介凡夫俗子，沒資格命令作為主神的自己。然而，見貝塔一臉安慰地發著呆，又連連點頭，對這位「團長」若有所思，他亦只好暫時吞下這口傲氣，姑且默許跟隨。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZH5TTSYqa

一再確認眾人沒有提出異議後，柔伊便朝地面投出光楔，碎唸兩句咒語，讓光楔形成傳送法陣包圍起在場眾人，把他們悉數帶往距此不遠的花海去。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLNVGYwDuf

著地過後，稍顯疲態的柔伊強撐身子，示意眾人隨她走進學院圍牆外一處臨時營地。鐵圍欄包著幾個大小不一的淺藍帳篷，中央規模最大的主帳幕上，則掛有艾斯托利克的國旗──「紫天三界旗」，深紫色旗幟隨風飄揚，展出當中三個從上而下分別為藍色、黑色以及紅色的圓點。

一行隨跌跌撞撞的柔伊踏入主帳幕裡，來到當中臨時搭成的作戰會議室裡。而在其中等待他們到來的，是一位身穿紅色系輕裝甲的棕紅髮小子，淡紅兩目直視在場共五個身段。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqjq1OUX9R

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1nZqyjsEX
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo8y1xlz0A
見貝塔滿臉愕然看著自己，誤將自己當成外交使節，繆兒於是把自己身份來由娓娓道來，其後又直截了當地切進正題：395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEUaBEfs0P

「現在斯圖希安軍的目標是主神，我們不得輕舉妄動。」繆兒說著又彈出食指直指眼前交叉著手的以太斥責道：「尤其是你，貴為原初之力本體的元素之神以太。」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqboWnaxYM
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bih8Uoa5d
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgx3heLcuG
見眼前這小不點指著自己鼻樑責備，一道無名火隨即從以太心底冒起，昂首踏前怒指著對方回敬道：395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKVF6FcuO3

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5AeIGHTbs
「澤鉭你不用出手！」見背後澤鉭也跟著亮起刀刃準備迎戰，以太便一聲喝止他插手，同時以白光聚集在左手形成光刀，朝繆兒跟前空砍一擊以示戰意：「你是主神又如何？！我就不信你這小子能勝過我！」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUsDtXJTTj
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpch4gdTF5b

然而這時，駐守營外的一位哨兵突如衝進主帳篷，焦急向繆兒敬禮後便報告道：395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYQnQhS0pO
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mLWsLWPml
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSa5GkRW4N

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nCigWuQ1E
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgLKjmS02H
面對下屬驚惶失措，繆兒則不慌不忙，就像早就料到那幫人會大駕光臨一般。他止著與以太的爭論，在臨踏出帳幕之前，又不忘淡定對身後眾人吩咐道：395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHM9Wfvc9l
395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSFuP40dr4

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELCkadsztE
丟下面帶茫然的一行，繆兒隨哨兵下屬來到營地正門，撐起腰、露出警戒神情仰視剛從黑機甲駕駛艙走出的幾個斯圖希安軍人。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYUfNOHzCc

「艾斯托利克的騎士團團長帶兵駐紮在我國國境，不知所謂何事呢？」當中一個隊長級軍官架起向繆兒質問道。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFx1SZt4k6

395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnsr7Lj72u

「這臭小子果真難纏。」開始失去耐性的軍官側過頭，朝地面小聲怒罵一句後，又對繆兒換回一副官腔道：「那沒辦法了，我們也有理由懷疑您們暗地裡做出有損我國利益的舉動……」395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTPyqUju3l

隨後，他又號令身後眾士兵駕駛機甲，分別堵住營地前後兩個入口。大批步兵亦從隨後到埗的大型裝甲車跳出，推出一個個鐵圍欄把營地重重圍堵。395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHVURFV7jI

看著眼前這軍官肅穆間淡淡顯露出一絲奸笑，繆兒亦早就料到他們浩蕩而來的動機。深知自己難逃被帶進敵陣進行連串「審問」，他唯有帶上萬分警戒，打算趁此良機深入敵陣，打探派恩下落。
