沙卡美在洞穴裏修煉了很長時間，從來也不覺得餓或者渴。若然不趕快練成明鏡的境界，曼賈就會殺死她愛的所有人。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q3ggOtijb
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lN2cMcu4Y
「哈！哈！」她站在池裏不停向瀑布揮刀，水比冰更冷，卻澆不熄她的鬥志。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwk3cO1aBp
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmv9nE2Hm3
既然母親每天揮一千下刀，為了超越母親，她要每天揮二千，甚至三千下刀。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhMnukeMuj
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7xEIyY7hF
她堅信追尋之物就在努力盡頭。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkzVXFSa8f
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9nk2xe2i9
受多少苦也不要緊，她不受苦的話其他人就會受苦。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSjo9ZoEAi
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPttYbnPDg
「哈！哈！」在無盡的揮刀過程裏，她的思緒漸漸飄向遠方。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJr1vGp6Pj
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX7oQEy98p
保護一切或捨棄一切才能達至明鏡的境界？人總會失去些事物吧？她失去了賴鐸，失去了利華特，她保護不了他們。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T3jTXfwnf
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGhrP18OYh
母親有達到明鏡的境界嗎？母親捨棄了她和在帝國的一切，算滿足條件嗎？散播悲傷的明鏡是明鏡嗎？大概不是。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sb2j5mIot
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz8roRbzql
那張紙僅是謎面，她要領悟明鏡的真諦。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7pVXdh01b
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXihNcGkR7
另一邊廂，岡原、小娜和貝吏刻唐等人來到沙卡美所在的房間前。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKWmhaP18V
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFCY6Qaftv
「如果陛下清醒的話就幫她戴面具，如果昏迷的話就帶她出去再治療她，清楚嗎？」岡原問手拿著面具的小娜。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4zv3AnboD
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7EUq5M5U4
「嗯。」小娜點頭。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhzs4ZBTde
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JZAP4G1C8
「好。各位，準備好了嗎？」岡原對牆壁伸出手掌。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIDXP0xXVp
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XUsk43x2X
「準備好了。」「準備好了。」「準備好了。」貝吏刻唐和魔法部隊成員一同瞄準牆壁。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkuP4SsHOm
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwQw7M5Ujz
「鮮物都・加瓦治！」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOuLbepW9d
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmpm269tWi
咒語擊中牆壁，牆堅隨即化為一團灰塵。眾人精準控制過咒語有效範圍，使咒語只消除房間的牆壁272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pE4x1ZApy
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80cJKFZBmE
鐵門因為牆壁消失而倒下，他們看到沙卡美正坐在椅子上。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIor9NbmLxX
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnKRgkj0Kz
「沙卡美！」小娜上前檢查她的狀況，「她昏倒了！」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRhEOHyBcw
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIp1AUom7a
小娜抱起沙卡美，運起魔力離開基地，其他人亦隨她回到地面。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPOWqBpxtJ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC8yUEqCdY
「沙卡美！醒醒！」小娜檢查她的呼吸，隨後聽見她在「呼呼」地小聲叫。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS31aYCJf0t
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4AniVgb9R
「小娜！陛下狀況怎麼了？」貝吏刻唐走到旁邊問小娜。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabeZzJ26hz
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wa2CPijD0
「她在睡覺。」發現白擔心一場的小娜向貝吏刻唐露出無奈的表情。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlULxvXKXCv
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvzJoHm78U
「睡、睡覺？」貝吏刻唐不太相信。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHruCt14EC
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRtfOTOjpC
「桌上有個碎掉的水晶球。我猜可能是他們想用它來操控沙卡美，但沙卡美毀了水晶球。」小娜脫下防毒面具，「她一定累透了，給點時間她休息吧。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RTXYDDxBt
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ruFGuEzXi
貝吏刻唐脫下面具，「我們要想辦法回皇宮。這可是另一個大陸的最西邊，又沒有紅圈......」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7YvnBIOi3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZorNfH10rr
「回去也要好幾個星期，我們身上又沒有錢......」小娜嘆了一口氣，「不過哥對打獵相當熟悉，所以我不怕。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrhX9yEWAI
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D1gT4L8ln
在學習魔法的數十年裏，貝吏刻唐經常背著小娜在森林裏打獵，小娜就在籃子內欣賞他的英姿。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadYPGQmPy6
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgo5RpOrbZ
「各位！」貝吏刻唐呼叫在草原上看星的魔法部隊成員和岡原，「不如我們先去找些食物吧！」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv0stGenBx
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TKBovFib8
「那邊有森林。」小娜用天文學知識得出方位，指著東邊的森林說：「而且還在東邊，我們在森林裏打獵，休息一晚，到早上就馬不停蹄——人不停足地趕路。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD5gUIT0qF
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc4Z13m6R3
「贊成！」「贊成！」魔法部隊成員紛紛舉手支持。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNII76wA4JN
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR59vcBMWy
小娜背起沙卡美，跟其他人慢步前往森林。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjrjZW6wJe
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxQjEsXS6M
「沙卡美，相信我們，沒有妳我們也不會輕言放棄。」
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerKmTUkM7Z
說來神奇，沙卡美遺傳了壞人的優點和好人的缺點。她如賴鐸強悍卻不如他暴戾，如巫女擇善固執卻不如她處變不驚。擇善固執不一定指缺點，但從她的情況看，一旦錯了方向便很危險。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjviJP8mGH2
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡremasmycON
明鏡到底會帶她去哪裏？掌握了明鏡她就能殺死曼賈嗎？272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vVTFNysUU
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYGmiKnD3o
她離失控僅有一步之遙，每當看到刀上的黑色火焰就不斷自責。她深信力量該用來保護而非傷害人，卻經已好幾次傷害了人。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoTLtwelvq
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVPiEJrxqK
從無到有，從紅到藍，從藍到金的火焰象徵著何物？金色火焰代表她的戰意燃燒到最高點嗎？272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqaNUf7Esf
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKBzF5q825
她對那把武士刀一無所知，連它的名字也不知道。無知的她就算進入明鏡境界也是會輸。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7t1MwK7zk
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVEfqky3Jd
她煞停揮刀的雙手，走到池邊放下刀，用之前突然冒出來，放在石上的毛巾抹頭。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw09wZr7uJ3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrSNktaWaH
頭和臉都抹乾淨，她拿起刀盯著滿佈水珠的刀身。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EIYkQ2mA5
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnOYkczt2u
「刀......有兩把。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3B8UVOJWy
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKYvFRMBHW
她忽然想起那把一直被遺忘，自開始揮刀後就被放在石頭邊的脇差。她撿起它，手執兩把刀的她很迷惘。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VCHa1kpoZ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurIxLhl2c0
「我一定對你有期望才會叫你出來......」她舉高握脇差的左手抬頭，「告訴我，你想我做甚麼？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNd20kZLIM
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWXC0wcd8Z
脇差和武士刀冒出紅色火焰，一塊巨石出現在她面前。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxXagwn8PV
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zCUjMbOGm
她放下手，對兩把刀說：「我明白了。我試試看。」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPwJmNIoHu
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOItEOSPyN
她跑向巨石，跳起劈向巨石，「哈啊啊啊啊！」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb6U9Veyz2
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv4PdZIxWF
巨石被劈成三部份，她望向武士刀，留意到刀身在發紅光。以往刀身不會發光，最多只會被火焰纏繞。她望向脇差，也是同樣狀況。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5kGNcv50t
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS28MV3WBX
沒必要走上和母親一樣的路，她要開拓出屬於她的路。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIrG5Ukdh9
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tNk1xP0OY
紅光蔓延到她手掌、手腕、手臂、肩膀、身軀、雙腿和頭，她整個人都在發光。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Ikbm8Gh9
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokVkqv94j3
她正對其中一條石柱，身體微微傾前。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAkCLtAQkx
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaYd9vGPR8
「啊！」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbulgvuFYRl
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBU0NQZQEk
她向前想兩刀劈斷石柱，卻承受不到速度之快而在石柱前摔倒。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5KYMkdbe9
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySvECYAyPM
情況就像背著重物絆倒，想向後拉自己起來卻被重物壓下去。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMczbtUjOrV
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSS1w9B49n
「痛痛痛......」雙刀和身體的紅光消失，火焰也熄滅，她放下雙刀靠著石柱坐下。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVGlkIoCJD
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUZ9hAQBd3
「希靈格・利卡巴。」她治好擦損的雙手，嘆了口氣。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY3zaYHkZZ
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F3A2zgDM9
「我果然還是不夠成熟。明明大家都在等我，我卻讓他們失望......我該怎麼辦......」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e3afZ23Rh
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi6SDEPal0
她抱膝，頭貼在手上當枕頭休息。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1A2Wg2l3H
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUDSlufxuK
「明鏡......拾棄一切......保護一切......我......」她找不到謎題的解答。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumPZ6k2REf
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pET752D6p
在全身都閃著紅光時，她以為終於領悟到要訣，怎料只領悟到殘酷的現實。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVchCjGyV3m
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXIrQV5ex5
要找到欠缺的東西，便先要明白自己欠缺了甚麼。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy7Mp5nNPt
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaTlVc4FMt
「我到底需要甚麼？沒有人會教我，只有我才想到。」她望終有一天會開竅，「我是不是早就知道但不願面對？到底是怎樣？」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2OgwrDGVO
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyXAT1zgqM
很痛苦。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGqUZjIBB3
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmZmmn0kg8
「哪條才是正確的路？沒有——」272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw775JthNFb
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21pFjqDwmi
她腦海一片空白，那些抱怨的句子彷彿沒存在過。她拿起雙刀回到瀑布，又再揮刀。272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm600Vxd3x
272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b4PYbz3hz
謎底根本不重要，解開謎底並不是終點，是其中一個里程碑。既然如此，她做她認為正確的事就足夠。
