甫走出宏偉的建築群，往東南方一瞥，映入眼簾是一座平頂山丘。即使日光從天上照射到山體中，岩石裡那淡淡藍光顯然易見，隨陽光反射到遠方，彷彿要警告所有準備進入礦山的人。一步一步走過花海的盡頭，四周花草逐漸凋零，土壤上都是枯萎的小草，被風帶到此地苛且偷生，未幾就被無形的殺意斷送生機。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV9jybtXhv

「我記得派恩哥哥說過，生物只要進入這個地帶外圍就會被蒼鐵釋放的能量污染而死……」看著眼前一片荒涼，不禁使柔伊想起之前與派恩造訪此地的時候，他所擬下的定論。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9SUZo1ZfJ

伊咘西萊視線投向側邊，只見阿爾法從地上撿起一隻帶著惡臭的動物腐屍，身子隨即躍至遠處。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuZppXVh4a

聽見柔伊這樣一說，阿爾法隨即甩開手上腐屍到地上，而柔伊則再度喚光召喚出她那掛滿工具的長棍，在其中取出一個小瓶並把當中半液體的物質倒到阿爾法手中，溶液落在阿爾法手甲裡便帶著污穢蒸發殆盡。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kZ6CKSeWr

不知不覺地，一行前方便是遺跡入口。那是一個隱藏於石堆和枯木中的洞穴，側旁又遺下一數塊刻有圖騰和古代文字的柱子，經年累積的風化侵蝕和礦工們過度糟蹋的痕跡，使表面的刻印變得模糊甚至損毀。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNpLb1EzVx

「之前派恩哥哥跟我來到這裡時，他說這支鋼筆內的物料會釋放一種受雷火魔法加護的磁場，保護持有它的人們不被帶冰屬性的蒼鐵能量吸取生命。」柔伊邊說邊點起長棍頂部油燈型的儀器照明。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg7Tu2dhBD

「相剋元素屬性間的制衡……」貝塔看著手上精緻的鋼筆，嘗試理解當中神妙之際，腦裡卻閃過來到如此不毛之地的目的，於是她只好收起鋼筆，快步領著三人前進。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIWiAWTxDc

「創世神創造宇宙法則，元素神司掌元素律動，乃創世之代行者……」阿爾法站在原地呆瞪著側旁一塊石板。石板雖尚算完好，其中文字卻異於當今世上流通之物。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oas0FAdkp

與外面一樣，遺跡內不見一點生機，取而代之是長年遭風化侵蝕的內壁；這些牆壁被刻上早已失傳的文字、圖騰，在時代更替和惡劣環境下遭世人遺忘。此外，四周充斥的無形殺氣，更阻斷了一切生命的繁衍。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJGSuCrUGM

「這可不容易……我感覺到這支鋼筆裡面有股強大力量在守護我們。」貝塔直視著手上那支在高濃度輻射下發出微微紫光的鋼筆。雖然聽她如此一說還是無法讓不安釋除，伊咘西萊也只好暫時收起擔憂，緊隨著三人往右方小路繼續前進。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJDkFd7OgX

697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQGA5UY99K
「不用了，我沒事。」阿爾法收起長劍，一直轉頭望向後方，心想著它的來由，又看看側旁的三人，見他們仍是若無其事，似乎沒有感覺到異樣。思索間，他又感覺到那股奇怪的氣息突然消失無縱，週遭不祥氣息也平息下來，這下他才願意一時放下疑慮。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQziRRAXBn

四人攀過破爛的石桓，踏過滿佈瓦礫的地面，好不容易從燈光中看到前方石壁一個巨大破洞。大步跨過洞口，結界的光隨即變得更亮了，那光芒隨四周被污染的鐵礦反射，無聲告訴一行他們已經無事到達目的地。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4RMibg2un

「嗯，等我一會，我先到那邊採掘一下。」柔伊把燈柱般的長棍插到地上，拿出一個立方體狀的採掘儀走到廣間中心一處透著詭異藍光的破洞前。她輕輕按下立方體上一塊大按鈕，一隻機械手臂應令從儀器頂面鑽出，代替柔伊探進破洞裡。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3JSMXran5

「阿爾法，看！這邊雕刻了些文字，你能看得懂嗎？」貝塔張望四周，很快便發現散落破洞周圍的石碑碎片。她蹲到地上，兩手撿拾附近的碎片，嘗試把它們組合起來讓阿爾法解讀。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Fzka7Tdp

「呃！」阿爾法銳利眼光在黯淡裡很快便鎖定了石壁上一個冒著暗紫色光譜的黑影。他著魔般拔出長劍，二話不說便躍出淡藍結界外，揮劍對黯淡裡的黑影展開。劍閃激烈轟向石牆上，瞬間把堅固的礦壁粉碎，「轟隆」一聲，地面劇烈震動，礦場外壁身連同泥土開始崩塌，大量如頭顱般大的石塊從天井襲向地面。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7s8W0KFjo

「阿爾法！？」伊咘西萊看著頭上石頭如雨落下，再度驚慌起來。而柔伊則連忙拿起剛剛採取的礦石，執起立在地面的權杖，並拉著伊咘西萊的手往洞口狂奔。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iI7vyO7d1

「走啊，這裡快要倒塌了！」她大喊著。在她呼喊的同時，她並沒有注意一顆大石快要砸在她頭上。幸好伊咘西萊及時發現她正身陷危機之中，隨即伸出翅膀用力把她拉來，讓大石砸在地面石堆上，避過被砸碎頭顱的一劫。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlLz7cRsAS

「不行，阿爾法還在那裡，阿爾法！」一直跟在柔伊和伊咘西萊後方的貝塔，見阿爾法似乎沒聽到吶喊那般，一臉呆滯站在碎石雨之下一動不動，於是她的步伐轉向另一方，面向那快要塌方的礦區中。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb64KzXxBY4

伊咘西萊和柔伊拼命地跑，才剛逃出礦區回到遺跡地帶，正想說為什麼只有他倆，回過頭來便看到貝塔往相反方向奔去，不顧危險撲向阿爾法。在目睹這一幕的瞬間，他們還來不及作出思考，唯一的洞口又被落下的大量巨石和瓦礫掩蓋住，再也沒法進去，只餘下貝塔急步間甩下的鋼筆靜靜躺在地面。697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp677wqBIC

「為什麼？他們困在裡面，再不快點救他們……」激動的伊咘西萊哭訴著，兩手不停敲打巨石，任由粗糙表面擦傷他的雙手，留下點點血跡。見狀，柔伊便上前摟住他腰間，拉扯著他不讓他因為以卵擊石的行為受傷。「你現在這樣敲打也沒用，我們還是先回去派恩哥哥那邊吧。」697Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWXpnbSVZ9

回過神來，伊咘西萊只見眼前從了無生機的荒野，變成漫天花海下的建築群，而柔伊則待在身旁，以長棍撐起疲憊不堪的身子一步一步走向魔導大學大門。見狀，伊咘西萊急步跟上她的步伐，攙扶著她，兩雙小腳躊躇踏過仍是熙來攘往的球場和食堂，爭分奪秒回到派恩所在之地。
