命運史詩 | 神律：終界 - 六：邂追逅逐 - 1

頭班列車載著寥寥數位乘客，穿過空無一人的荒野，從浮光淨土來到終界第二大城市──聖火城。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhsWKkVB3H

「老大，這邊請。」下車後，卡帕甫走出熙來攘往的車站大堂，兩位身穿西裝、戴上墨鏡的男子便從一旁走出，恭敬攔在卡帕面前向他示好。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl9xOx50lY

在兩人帶領下，這初臨熱鬧城區的鄉巴佬亦不忘沿途飽覽四周高聳入雲的高樓，色彩繽紛的招牌與大電視屏幕，無一不讓他大開眼界。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWGztH5ikm

走著走著，眼前又見一座藍色高塔，外牆屏幕閃過一個文字廣告：488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW9H8De1Ux

短短一句禱告，瞬即令卡帕火冒三丈，無視眾多路過行人怒斥道：488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGr1dL2UbS

突如其來的叫喊，順理成章地惹來街上眾人目光，不少把他當成是街頭賣藝的過氣諧星，只消一眸便拂袖而去。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNomSKIYljW

「老大！堇金大人已經回到事務所等候了，我們還是先到他那邊再說吧！」尷尬之下夾在左方的西裝男如是提醒著，聯同另一人加快腳步把卡帕帶離眾目之外。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqhDWnuzWk

踏出傳送法陣，再經幾番轉折，來到一座由紫色反光玻璃拼湊而成、外牆寫有「堇花塔」的摩天大樓。在左右兩位西裝男夾道之下，卡帕走進側旁的入口，並乘子彈升降機登上頂樓。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEAc7NYsMZ

488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyPnuyetbT
推開大門，空蕩廣闊的空間中央是一張長方辦公桌，卡帕見靠向落地玻璃窗方向的豪華坐椅上坐著久違親友的身影，便主動打起招呼。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkDaEFyCUa

「啊啊！卡帕，你總算來了，怎麼不聽我的電話啊？」對方隨即從座位走來，一把摟抱著卡帕對他多加噓寒問暖。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzmuX6KgjQ

「話說這次是你第一次來到聖火城，在這個地方的所見所聞，就當是為自己征服世界的目標踏上第一步吧。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvJIZ6Ljzb

「別擔心，義兄決定了，之後也要讓義弟你多接觸黑輝淨土外的世界……」堇金拍著卡帕肩膀，與他望向窗外澄藍的天空，指向陽光旁一個不太起眼的光點，對他開了個玩笑：「就算你說要到始界討伐邪神，義兄也會想辦法送你過去的，哈哈哈！」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDN8dC5bYe
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRkueKCwyd
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPO64ARZeiS
對於這般天方夜譚的玩笑，卡帕唯有交叉著手，默默對堇金打出無奈神色，藉此告訴他自己確實無意遠赴始界。見狀，堇金便壞笑著回到正題：488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzscS8mTZf

說著，隨卡帕而來的兩位西裝男早已預備好亮著微弱紫光的方盒狀法陣描畫器，一再確認座標設置過後，便打出紫色傳送法陣把一肥一壯兩個身影包圍，轉移到一段距離以外的聖火大酒店。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvfT6Lur6V

光芒消失之後，兩人抵埗酒店大堂，堇金向接待員打了個眼色，目送她搭乘升降機到頂樓後，便與卡帕轉進酒店附屬的會議室裡，坐在沙發上偷閒。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq1snEUfZc

488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WKXSgFuXf
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigSH7kryOM
難得終於把年度大會的講稿擬好，妲羽亦把滿腦子天文學術名詞一一撥開，拿著魔匣與烏普西朗一同坐在鄰接的沙發上。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRAz2TLnid

「哈哈！你們好。我是卡帕，是個來自黑輝淨土的鄉巴佬。」見倆小孩投以稍為怕羞的神情，身為前輩的卡帕於是捏出親切笑臉，主動開口道出名來。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiBznbM15B

488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztkuYZz47V
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyubRRaaTkC
在堇金鼓勵之下，妲羽率先對眼前兩位前輩級男性報上名來：488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SEp5BT5Qm
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nhOVFTasR
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhu7wlDGNF
「堇叔叔，卡帕哥哥。妲羽，很高興認識你們。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZf2MIajcl
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8CWkLz8y1
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4q2jzuCQU
「我叫烏普西朗。你是來告訴我關於伊歐鎝的消息嗎？」而知道眼前這陌生哥哥與堇叔叔關係密切，烏普西朗在吐出自己名字後隨即便問及伊歐鎝的下落。然而理所當然地，就連伊歐鎝長相是怎樣也不知道的卡帕，亦只好搔著頭報以苦笑：488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4byQm5RdGI
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsVQ159JVC
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ZuQtc9vs
「慢慢來吧，伊歐鎝是誰啊？你也要告訴我他長什麼樣子吧？」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkspa6gTSr5
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3rYVCkojR
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54YRFuusFx
「最後一次看到他的時候……」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspdQg0WHQX
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn0Pn6ZVDr
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53Nfo4Wva5
與他最後一次分別的記憶鮮明刻在烏普西朗腦海裡，這位留有鮮紅散髮、碧藍色兩目的少年換上另一套簇新的淺藍色軍服，輕輕摸過烏普西朗的頭，便轉過頭，一去不返。想起臨別前那副顯然是強撐出來的微笑，烏普西朗又再沉默下來，任由眼眶冒起大滴淚珠。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu6nhjBUhy
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ240NtRyrTI
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAKIv02jsV
「那麼也能順便替妲羽找一個人嗎？她留青色長髮、淺黃色眼睛，穿藍色衣服，個子大概就比你矮一點點……」妲羽想了想，又再補充道：「還有她經常拿著一枝很長的白色長槍。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRehZC0F7Jp
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHebfSfLtax
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsrvPTkTfL
妲羽口中描述，正正與把自己認定成敵人的那位少女毫無二致。愕然下卡帕遂衝口而出向對方道出少女的名字：488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFt7zUoXYE
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGitY07NYEk
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ioxbDkdQ
「那妳想找的這個人，是叫做埃美克戎嗎？」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4WkUDX32i
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXiTcu4NgE
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzcrE8onV1
「對啊對啊！你有見過她嗎？」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq3kfPsKc1
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAyhh4OTgP
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgjVdLjkr8
見妲羽一臉著緊站立著追問，卡帕沉默片刻，把昨晚一場奇遇稍為整合過後，便一五一十從在列車上看到她孤身對抗黑霧的那個時候開始說起……488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5SXGh9u84
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS0umZhYRn
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vDsA34eQ0
聽到唯一的至親因受傷而送進醫院，其後又強撐身子再赴戰場，瞬間令妲羽再說不出半句話，呆滯癱軟在沙發上，心裡更是萌起一剎那對命運神的質疑，希望祂能放過埃美克戎一秒鐘。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTRZGYdiHA
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCoJj2XzBk
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY2htO6h4R
與此同時，滑到沙發上的魔匣突如伴隨震動響起一陣簡單曲調，讓妲羽不得不從茫然間抽離，看過屏幕，見來電的正是天文學會會長修伯特。488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjytaOzx7L
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsGdKE1TNM
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWinnYZSMr
「修……修伯特會長？怎麼了？」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CAZbdDShj
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDad6akUYW
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeljbFajVV
「有點急事想與妳單獨聊聊。」488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rTrQQ3Yiz
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRKd9THepR
488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR2UpBWz6U
聽筒後修伯特說話的語氣焦急而離奇地嚴肅，妲羽於是抱著疑惑走出會議室，找到一處隱蔽角落繼續通話。
