本來一行六個人，在接連的分別裡，最後留在黑暗無明的「山丘」外的，似乎就只剩下妲羽和埃美克戎兩位，徘徊在黑霧周邊尋找離奇失蹤的烏普西朗。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVjhBXslZB

  一輪張望過後，妲羽便一手按住魔法帽子，快步回到埃美克戎身邊。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pTiWaIot7

  「還沒有。奇怪了，他是從何時開始離開我們的？」拖起妲羽的手同時，埃美克戎亦不忘一再環盼四周，再度確認周邊沒有半個人影。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt1ZaEiTxH

  「妲羽也沒留意到呢！不過烏普西朗那傢伙就是這樣，只要聽到『伊歐鎝』這個名字就會像發了狂一般。」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnQUVL7TSu

  「伊歐鎝……是樞密院的人嗎？」418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnWyQsYbJx
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb7XT83Lmc
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfMihNYeTS
  眾多片面之詞裡，烏普西朗與樞密院顯然易見的關係，不禁使埃美克戎順便猜測伊歐鎝這位神秘存在的身份。回想在薄暮城生活的日子裡，作為一介平民、生活拮据的她對整個終界教廷的認識，大概只有女神心音與司掌各類事務的七大廳這兩大象徵。同時，在這看似光明正大的宮殿裡，亦如理所當然地存在著眾多不為人知的暗處，除了對人們日常生活來說必需的一切事宜，其他情報要麼是委婉且片面地成為流言蜚語，要麼完全沒法帶離四面白牆，甚至連樞密院內部人員亦被蒙在鼓裡，不得而知。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzI8mnLmo0
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnofngT1uK
  也許當下能給出線索的，就只有理應坐鎮樞密院四面白牆下、代替女神執起當權者一役的使者式格瑪了。恰巧想起要把現況向式格瑪報告的埃美克戎於是向這本該默守在意識裡的同伴發話：418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVkgyB31nm
418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcwJd7RUpe

418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfoyhffWzU
  縱使埃美克戎靜下心神、豎起兩耳傾聽意識裡即將現出之訊息。然而以往那語重心長的聲線，此刻則再沒有吭聲作出回應。起初埃美克戎還以為式格瑪只是公務繁重，才不能像以往一般，長留在她意識裡；直至想起剛才他斷斷續續的話語，不禁又讓她皺起兩眉、為他的安否而擔憂。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnP8X9DoPk

  「埃美姐？怎麼了？」見埃美克戎神色凝重，妲羽於是拉著她的手問道。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQmrXenOLI

  恍惚間，隨機轉動的兩目無意間看到妲羽身後徐徐冒現的幾個黑影，朝妲羽的背影亮出爪牙，旋即握起光槍，快步繞過忽如高掛懼色的妲羽。匯聚光明的槍刃劃出一道軌跡，與往前撲來的數匹黑狼相殺，粉碎它們雲霧般的軀體。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCIkZqotQ8

  從埃美克戎身後地面又突如現出一隻全身漆黑的四腳巨獸，正趁她貫注眼前戰況之時朝她猛力揮動起頭上兩角。尖角正要刺進皮肉瞬間，一發閃光遂在妲羽驚叫下現出，捲起小型爆風霎時止住巨獸猛然一擊，把其穢禍之軀從埃美克戎身邊彈開。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uOcLvMME5

  然而，聚積執著的意識體並未就此罷休。埃美克戎才剛把注意投到身後，面前苟延殘喘的黑狼又再奮起，迅猛之勢幾乎要把她壓到地上。埃美克戎雖及時橫出長槍格檔，槍刀與銳爪在火花間激烈拉鋸，令她再無暇把注意回放到妲羽身上。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZwaIp6cxC

  面對體型比自己大好幾倍的猙獰黑獸步步進逼，妲羽亦只管抱緊橢圓星盤，緊繃著臉逐步後退。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17gzxADcCR

  縱使帶著顧慮，眼見面前爪牙已牢牢對準自己，不願事事依賴命運神的她卻早已沒有選擇餘地。不像自如揮舞光槍的埃美克戎，這未曾揮刀的嬌柔身軀此刻則顯得束手無策，為了在這不毛之地保住小命，她只好舉起橢圓星盤，萬般不情願地再一次盼望想像裡神聖的紅色神姿降下神威。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmU62UXWs2

  焦急唸過禱文之後，心裡想要脫險的強烈意念悉數傳進星盤裡，使其緩緩離開妲羽雙手，散發強光浮到半空之中，把弱光的巨獸擊退至一段距離以外。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxLHouaEu3

  見機不可失之下，保護妲羽心切的埃美克戎遂即強甩開眼前稍稍失勢的黑狼，掉轉槍頭猛力貫進巨驅後仰的身軀，使力把這副近乎顯現實體的黑煙當成錘子甩到眼前黑狼身上。激烈碰撞使彼此漆黑的身姿碎成粉末，隨沉重微風而散去。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOEuwxa2Xz

  仍未抹去餘悸的妲羽只管蜷縮在埃美克戎懷抱裡，緊抓著她被淚水沾濕的衣領。天上陌生的星相讓她知道，薄暮城或是聖火城都遠在天邊，至少在萬里之外。要是不再依賴命運神祝福，選擇從這裡徒步回去，或許又要花上百日的時間，翻越大片未知境地，加上路向沒有出錯，才可能重見那幾個彷如搖籃般的生機之地。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwiMKLDH2U

  知道歸途茫茫的妲羽，此刻只有想著要待在埃美克戎身邊，不讓她心生離開自己半步之念頭……哪怕她知道就算命運神願意再次降下祝福讓她們回到淨土裡，踏進淨土就代表要再一次跟埃美克戎分開，至少現在的妲羽，奔波於接連事態之後，難得終於苦盡甘來，可以回到親人身邊，短時間內她壓根就不敢想像要再次與對方道別的心理準備。418Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IhfNwd8UY

  意識到既不能貿然帶著妲羽闖進黑色「山丘」裡，同時亦不能拋下烏普西朗以至菈姆達等一眾同伴於迷霧之中，埃美克戎當下唯有抓緊妲羽的手，與她繼續束手無策地待在原地，暗地向命運神許下默禱、虛耗這無盡的「生命」苦候轉機到臨。8964 copyright protection414ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxuiT533uL 維尼
