夜色已深，學院宿舍的走廊安靜得只剩下微弱的燭光。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tAHiF8Nqo
亞麗恩正坐在桌前整理書本時，房門忽然被輕輕敲了兩下。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ624UY7hkB7
「亞麗恩……妳還沒睡吧？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVBfGU3kBF
門外傳來刻意壓低的聲音。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAvExA9tRj
她微微挑眉，起身走過去打開門。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdXrGUN5y8
艾莉兒站在門外，手上拎著一籃東西。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZO88oSt8q
她歪了歪頭，小聲說：71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Lrs6z2iK
「要吃嗎？我母親今天送來的點心。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo39TlrqER
亞麗恩忍不住輕笑了一下，側身讓她進來。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l69Q9ASG6
「進來吧。不過這麼晚了還在吃，你不怕變胖嗎？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhW3TdxKal
「哎，沒事啦。」艾莉兒聳聳肩，「這不是還有妳墊背嗎？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFujeuGsgp
「哪有，我比妳瘦好嗎！」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPf3FXPNNv
兩人正說笑著坐下沒多久，房門又被敲響了。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOJPbBDmWC
亞麗恩和艾莉兒同時一愣，緊張地對視了一眼。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX1Gml6dwc
艾莉兒壓低聲音說：71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNZtZ5jCu2
「妳說……會不會是教官來查寢啊……」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqEAmG4ctM
亞麗恩也有點猶豫。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0xTg6AWvJ
「可是這個時間點教官通常不會來查啊……」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXmG75cVbC
她想了想，還是起身去開門。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDPnJpanCO
艾莉兒則迅速躲到門後。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4x8CwIHas
亞麗恩把門打開一條縫，探頭出去。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL5QepigRL
「誰啊？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbtKaN1mol
只見南西站在門口，手上也提著一籃東西。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7fj3bMfOJ
她一邊往裡走，一邊小聲抱怨：71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwJ0GhrG9e
「妳剛剛在幹嘛啦，開門那麼慢。我剛剛超怕教官突然出現的……」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyfuZN9PMz
說著她直接推門走了進來。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rIuAA8by2
「妳知道嗎，我母親又給我送乳酪了，根本吃不完。我跟她說了之後，她竟然說——本來就不是全部給我的，是要給妳們吃的。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVIVoXAs3v
南西一邊說一邊轉頭。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7Gcy6unDQ
結果正好和門後的艾莉兒對上眼。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil6199B5Jj
「哇！」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwUx09hDB6
她嚇得往後退了一步。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTskt8CVTc
等看清楚是誰後才拍了拍胸口。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XD0cCE2WO
「媽呀，原來是妳！嚇我一跳！妳躲在這幹嘛？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMVg0TQVxs
艾莉兒從門後走出來，笑得有點不好意思。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepe4rilJdo
「我們剛剛聽到敲門聲，以為是教官來查寢嘛，所以先躲一下。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwWt10PLjd
南西翻了個白眼。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmenAoump6
「結果是我。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojoONGMa3M
「對啊。」艾莉兒笑著說，「不過妳這麼晚來找亞麗恩幹嘛？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4oWrBU0od
南西理直氣壯地把籃子放到桌上。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGGFD8CylA
「分享快樂啊！」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNIrZOVyMm
她指了指籃子裡的乳酪。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksZZ0OsDcI
「母親又送東西來了，總不能只有我變胖吧？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIVtvU1R5A
房門關上後，南西把籃子放在旁邊的小桌子上，這才注意到桌上已經有另一籃東西。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuytsjFVwLZ
她好奇地問：71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoFGmJGP5l
「欸，這籃是誰的啊？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69jUjH6508
「我的。」艾莉兒回答，「我母親也送點心來了。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwCHEKizem
南西忍不住笑了。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TD2UPHiTl
「今天是什麼日子啊，怎麼大家母親都在送食物。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4nh9tWTXf
三個人把東西擺好後，乾脆一起窩到床邊的小桌子旁。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtrRSfozjt
就在這時，門口又傳來敲門聲。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzpOrP1y47
三人同時一僵。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepZKkDFaMo
「不會吧……」艾莉兒小聲說。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQJldUjWnk
她立刻拉著南西一起躲到門後。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKrsdJXoNc
亞麗恩無奈地看了她們一眼，只好再次去開門。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m4KFBiF7j
門打開後，她看到米亞站在外面。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU89FWFAkgz
米亞手上拿著一封信。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7KygGkzPf
「妳還沒睡喔？」米亞笑著說，「我還以為妳睡了呢。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PgdtkmYsr
亞麗恩挑眉。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTozKX6hnuw
「那妳還來敲我門做什麼？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC1GVfhgJK
米亞聳聳肩。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCTYRP2ugH
「看能不能把妳敲醒啊。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUHj2NGBHM
亞麗恩翻了個白眼，側身讓她進來。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaXcgY5OBl
「妳都不怕教官發現妳喔？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbAGoISMZM
「沒事啦。」米亞揮揮手，「我看過值勤表了，她今天有事不在。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkvdI6d3l9
她一轉頭。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLEuGuRy2b
正好看到門後躲著的南西和艾莉兒。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco15CkWoux
三個人大眼瞪小眼。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw3fnSb3iZ
「……你們兩個躲在這裡做什麼？」米亞問。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziYWa6rApz
「躲教官。」艾莉兒一本正經地回答。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMSkfVk8JS
米亞也翻了個白眼。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VrWUveyjM
「嗐，差點把我嚇死。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ38RO9ikCX
她把拖鞋一脫，整個人直接飛撲到亞麗恩的床上。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rUVw4maXh
其他幾人也跟著窩了上去。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6npO9Raig
燭光微微晃動，房間很快變得熱鬧起來。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHqYjnjnds
一開始只是輕鬆的閒聊。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42LkVpWsKs
聊課堂、聊老師，還有今天學院裡的小八卦。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhLbVKbZEn
過了一會兒，米亞突然安靜了下來。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qsEqFi3jb
她盯著桌上的燭火，看起來像是在想什麼。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBVGUzvzUW
「欸對了……」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm4ICubj7J
她緩緩開口。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu9j5rxh4N
「我今天下午收到父親的信。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gEse7sOlr
艾莉兒抬起頭。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TMng6Y3eJ
「信？怎麼了？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgTTToIEMa
米亞皺了皺眉。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZqsd7aA2l
「父親在信裡說……最近礦區那邊，好像有點不太平。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIIf5SLEqe
南西愣了一下。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzecQzMZDGS
「礦區？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmZXdyGCef
米亞點了點頭。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2eqPxKT3S
「聽說……有人正在私下招募雇傭兵。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuK1PsfHeD
艾莉兒有些驚訝。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7vQbRJZR4
「雇傭兵？很多貴族不都會雇護衛嗎？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJrscAnHwU
米亞搖了搖頭。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbfZZebD5O
「這差很多。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqW9VXxfv8
她的語氣低了幾分。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJF2YWtq5V
「父親說，那規模不像普通護衛隊。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4mcA8E6WB
房間忽然安靜了一瞬。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrX4SwCHVB
南西忍不住小聲說：71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdOcGLNhfp
「如果人很多的話……那不就像是在組軍隊？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZxGAUQDqB
燭光微微晃動。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBvJ2huu7E
亞麗恩一直沒有打斷她們，只是靜靜聽著。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1TzGKId2Y
過了一會，她才慢慢開口。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvLK4yzYPH
「礦區一直以來都牽扯很多利益。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtAKYZhARm
她的語氣依舊平靜。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNPdbwZ48T
「如果真的有人在那裡招兵……事情恐怕不會簡單。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLrSBCJvU5
艾莉兒皺起眉。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSPvDZBchJ
「那會是哪個家族？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpty3TLjcW4
米亞聳了聳肩。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKjyIFOIHA
「父親沒有寫名字。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNhcX5rAUX
她停頓了一下。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkPQr5YJmA
「只說……最近最好不要隨便談這件事。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOWrObaL8Z
房間再次安靜下來。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vT4Pt9VA5
窗外夜風輕輕吹過。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1rPZKDKfy
亞麗恩的目光落在跳動的燭火上，神色若有所思。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWTnzBz8Y9
礦區、雇傭兵、隱藏的家族勢力。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kXRjB4GIs
看來……71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9aPKO8LEr
有些事情，正在悄悄改變。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrawF2Zmdqw
這時，南西忽然開口問道：71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DJ8rpwSkE
「欸米亞，話說妳今天怎麼這麼晚才過來？我還以為妳不來了呢。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb1sX2qqFD
米亞懶懶的翻了個身，抱著枕頭說：71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORagnfbrUe
「沒事，只是幫點小忙而已。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZPxjmUnY5
「？什麼小忙？」艾莉兒問道。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOZNBQisZz
米亞隨口回答：71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMwrGnMMeu
「喔，就亞麗恩叫我幫她注意一下最近梅塔特隆跟奧格萊雅都跟什麼人接觸啦。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUbktUdrwK
艾莉兒皺了皺眉。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAqXziNswH
「妳沒事那麼在意她們做什麼？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluz646VYgw
南西也轉過頭來。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdyKUdqbNB
亞麗恩想了想，才慢慢回答：71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMBvd9U1EF
「嗯……也沒有那麼注意啦。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiHbxIAygr
「就只是覺得有點奇怪而已。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMHKjltewF
「奇怪？」南西問，「哪裡奇怪？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmL8Z39mAB
亞麗恩沉默了一下。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kphNgdPUP
她看著桌上的燭火，像是在思考。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmj83EW9ob
過了一會，她才輕聲說：71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQmek7UFhz
「妳們不覺得嗎？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZuUjwTxxa
「她們有時候說話的方式……跟我們很不一樣。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIj0585AYwb
艾莉兒愣了一下。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4mkm0efjG
「好像真的有一點。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMAi0cGqcK
南西也點了點頭。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DMBm58KSL
「對耶，有時候她們會講一些我完全聽不懂的東西。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrd7LC94bg
米亞欸了聲。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf8Uk7CWI1
「像什麼？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9Rc1pMEXG
南西皺著眉努力回想。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpbYUi8ogr
「像之前她們在討論什麼……手機、脆..」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJJlw4hSKM
「啊啊還有什麼海底撈、筆錄之類的。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GctILjX6J
房間安靜了一下。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorRh9qTGMt
亞麗恩低聲說：71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlCFS4WUd7
「所以我才會覺得有點奇怪。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4rZpOLQzM
她停了一下。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpppqaNc7bH
「妳們不覺得……」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzcwvkuvc7
「她們有時候，感覺不像我們這個世界的人嗎？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMUcJzl3sz
燭光輕輕晃動。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bnh93dFuI
南西愣了一下。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAGEmzIhzi
「欸……妳這樣說有點可怕欸。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6riXC0f8kD
米亞卻笑了笑。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAJpTvuJ9P
「別說這麼死啦亞麗恩，說不定只是別的地方來的吧？」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdIGjs6HaC
「世界那麼大。」71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh70ftU8tLU
亞麗恩沒有再說話。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pDNADSGkb
她只是靜靜地看著燭火。71Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6WSePaEMv
那種奇怪的感覺，卻始終沒有消失。1234 copyright protection67ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY7HUZF5XO 尼
