<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一名中年精靈和一名女性精靈正在門口等候。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女大人、修閣下、小艾公主,道丹魯夫有禮。」「艾林娜茵有禮了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花為我介紹,道丹魯夫是歐倍麗拉城主,這座行館也是由他負責監造,艾林娜茵是靈術士,也是歐倍麗拉修道院院長,我所知道的歐倍麗拉是個小城,擁有的靈術士與靈劍士並不多。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大概不到一個半小時,道丹魯夫與艾林娜茵便告辭離去,他們還得趕去與貝蘭米絲和申鐸會面。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我在屋子裡走著,越細看越覺得奇怪,格局與精靈的習性完全不同。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼會有……這種沙發?這不會是……我那個家吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒錯,是我在人類世界的家,精靈世界的沙發很簡單,但這兒仿製的布沙發造型極似南宮家,裡頭應該是塞入乾草或羽毛之類。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這是客廳,那是和室,餐廳位置也一樣,難道樓上?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">所有隔間全都是大上一號,即使如此,還是比精靈的慣例來得小,人類的房子都是精打細算寸土必爭,不像精靈土地遼闊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花:「樓上隔間也是用小艾給的草圖,請道丹魯夫城主建造,比例上或有出入。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">行館之內,還有幾幢建築,除了主屋格局蓋得與南宮家一樣之外,其他仍是精靈式的建築,有衛士們住的宿舍、倉庫、馬廄等等。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來是特別為我蓋的,雖然精靈做不來人類的精緻裝璜,但是大件物品幾乎雷同,睹物思人我忍不住落淚,抱住艾莉絲和桃花。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花拿了一張小紙片交給雛菊,讓她坐馬車去歐倍麗拉採購一些物品,雛菊看了項目有點驚訝,但是聖女交代還是得去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我看著雛菊離去:「還以為什麼都不缺。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們出了後門來到後院,雖是露天卻有高高的圍籬好好遮蔽。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這是……溫泉?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花:「小艾告訴我,小修喜歡溫泉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「我們去過彩虹瀑布,那裡不是有達達喀火山嗎?歐倍麗拉就在火山的另外一邊,溫泉都是來自同一處。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來如此,難怪遣開雛菊,好讓蕾菲亞娜也能一同享用。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳是故意的吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「都是夫妻有什麼關係?我們在家裡也沒穿浴衣啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">肯定是艾莉絲告訴桃花的,我第一天進到桃花寢房就被拉進浴池。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">女孩們妳一句我一句,「都不懂我的痛苦。」,我小聲嘟嚷著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">所幸,今天的主角不是我,沒多久,身材豐腴線條玲瓏的桃花,就成了小精靈和小魔靈捉弄的祭品。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">除了幼精靈與夫婦,精靈少有混浴,即使是同性也非常少見,桃花第一次享受這種快樂,靦腆沒多久,很快就投入了,艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜多了個伴,更是玩得不亦樂乎,與其左擁右抱,我更喜歡看著她們一同嬉戲,很幸福!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">溫柔鄉這種東西不太實際,兩個很甜蜜,四個的話,到最後就是……</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈最了不起的是,無論老幼男女,不管有多熱,標準服裝全都是長袖長褲,女性還多了及踝長裙的選擇。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">基本上,比基尼、迷你裙簡直就是傷風敗俗,是低等靈類的穿著。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我知道如何製做溫度計,但卻不曉得去哪裡找材料,精靈連個玻璃製品都沒有,想打開窗戶看外頭,就得忍受寒風或是熱氣,幸虧驅蟲石晶便宜又管用,順帶一提,出門旅行,夜光石晶和驅蟲石晶是必備物品。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不過……即使天氣轉熱,現在池水溫度也太高了點,驀然發覺不對勁,這肯定是——</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~妳們都不曉得我很忍耐的,兩個同時來怎麼可能會有辦法。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈習性保守,對羈絆者裸身卻很平常,他們不像人類會玩一對多的變態遊戲,締結靈線時必須全心全意,只要艾莉絲在場,我就無法對蕾菲亞娜引動靈線,反之亦然,她們卻常常挑戰我的極限,時不時地就誘惑我,雖然我知道那只是少女們的捉弄,但我是個人類,視覺誘惑難以漠視。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她們咯咯笑著,明白我在指什麼,艾莉絲稍為還有點稚氣,蕾菲亞娜原本有點天然呆,自從締結她的羈絆靈線後,轉變又快又大,已是十分成熟的女性。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾好像……有點不太一樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看到我盯著艾莉絲的胸部,蕾菲亞娜也過來掂量:「我也覺得有稍為大一些。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲下意識地以手遮住:「別光看這裡,我也是會害羞的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然不像蕾菲亞娜的成熟豐滿,但我能感覺到艾莉絲身體的變化。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果我沒記錯,還要再等一百年小艾才會有廿歳女性精靈的體態吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「應該是這樣,小艾做了什麼事嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲大叫:「才沒有,羞恥的事都是小修做的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「誒~羞恥的事的是什麼?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲紅著臉鼓嘴不語,我該怎麼解釋呢?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖說靈線交纏不需要太多肢體接觸,但是我對女性身體也有著好奇心,懷抱艾莉絲入睡時,偶而會把持不住不安分,她也會貼心地配合。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我和小艾也是會有一、兩個秘密不好說,小蕾就別追問了~總之,我很抱歉,剛才想事情入了神,並不是故意忽視妳們。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我擁抱著她們各給一個親吻,這一招很管用,都安靜了下來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「還在想希緹麗亞的宮殿嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我點點頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「小修說的那個區域幾乎找遍了,會不會坑道口早就堵住了呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有可能,唯一沒找過的就只剩城主官邸。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「真是棘手,小修不會是想潛入吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「與其潛入,不如大方向城主提出要求比較好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「席禮亞夫人肚子已經很大,短期內不太可能允許任意搜索,稍為等等吧!而且,無法確認能回到我那個年代,就算打開通道也非常冒險。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">意思是急也沒用,少女們也都明白。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「不如抓緊空檔,趕緊生個小靈龍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「要是被問起誰是小蕾的羈絆者,怎麼回答啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜嘻嘻笑著:「還是主人明理!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲捉弄不成,噘著嘴:「算了——我倒是想去阿坎拉王城一趟。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜歪著頭:「這句話應該是小修說的才對。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「為什麼?我可沒那麼想念聖女。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「把桃花的身體都摸個遍,小修講這種話真絕情。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我最多就提到親吻,明明沒說過這檔事,慘了,肯定是聖女出賣了我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜哼的一聲:「你還以為能暪過我們嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~我投降,她的靈線一直懸在那兒,我看了也很難過。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">或許是人類的緣故,聖女的激情真心說來很難拒絕,當初我做過了頭,雖然並沒做到最後一步,但是想要回頭為時已晚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「靈線都出現了,桃花是真心喜歡小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「可小修很堅持只稱呼聖女。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「叫桃花太親密,我擔心會不知不覺愛上她,會失去回去人類世界的決心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「擔心被愛情拘束啊……剛才小艾說想去阿坎拉王城又是為什麼啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「上次我們在王城圖書館找月光石晶的資料,其實有三卷是寫精靈王歷史,還有好幾本是介紹古城。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「是有,不過上次時間不夠,只能專心找月光石晶的線索,那個古城?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「對,就是那個古城,其中就有一本是里德拉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『里德拉』是里德修拉在希緹麗亞時期的古名,但是一想到聖女在阿坎拉,我就躊躇不前,她的深情與美貌能夠輕易擊垮我的自制力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「小修在害怕喔!如果聖女能幫助小修,我可以勉強承認她是半個愛侶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我的情緒逃不過靈龍誓約的感應。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「小修也不必太絕情,聖女真的很可憐。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「還說我濫好人,幸好那天是在屋頂上,否則後果不堪設想。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「無法締結靈線,『愛撫』能做到什麼程度有差別嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">後來我才明白,早在與聖女牽手時,對精靈而言算是『情投意合』,沒有當機立斷放手是個錯誤,艾莉絲知道我是人類所以不在乎,但是桃花可能誤會成默許,當我把手伸進她的衣服裡頭時……已是等同出軌的行為,現在後悔也來不及了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呃……是我自己的問題,以人類觀點來看,我和小艾、小蕾才能做到最後一步。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈對於害羞的身體接觸,只當是傳宗接代的過程,除非想要受孕,否則沒有必要做到身體交合,但是精靈非常專情,做到如此程度,聖女已難與其他精靈締結靈線,她也說過不會愛上其他精靈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「說到底,小修不敢負起這個責任。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我都說很多次了,那是吊橋效應的一時激情,許久不見,聖女也該冷靜下來了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「我們打個賭,要是桃花的感情不減反增,那小修就負起責任,當她是真正的妻子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哪有把自己丈夫當成籌碼的?小蕾你也說說小艾呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「小修害的,負起責任是應該的,我不反對。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳們……賭就賭,要是聖女冷靜下來,以後不准再提這件事,還有,不能洩露我們的賭局。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲笑道:「呵~就這麼決定。今晚呢,讓你好好陪陪小蕾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「不必專程過來,有時候我也會和妳們一起睡啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「畢竟有些事獨處時才方便吶!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「靈線交纏?我和小修隨時都可以呀!先說了,我可不要現在懷孕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那妳不想抱著小修睡嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我明白這是艾莉絲的善意,說道:「總是在大清早有些慌忙,偶而輕鬆點也很好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜紅著臉點點頭,她總是優先為我和艾莉絲著想,靈線交纏也會在艾莉絲醒來之前結束,還經常獨守空閨,所以私底下我會多寵著她一些。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">東側別廳樓頂有個樓梯間,樓梯間上是個小天台,雖然主屋比較高,但是斜面屋頂不方便站立,這小天台不僅平坦,還能夠看盡整個外府園區,喜愛涼快的靈狐梅琳經常在這裡吹風、眺望和睡覺。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">稍早之前,我已和艾莉絲靈線交纏過,哄她入睡才過來找蕾菲亞娜,以經驗來說,之後小精靈總是睡得香甜,天塌下來都不會醒。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">回想起那個時候,她甚至還沒成為我的女僕。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">喚龍舞失傳已久,想立下誓約難矣,不先找到誓約者,也沒辦法締結羈絆,看來我一次滿足小蕾母親的兩個願望。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「羈絆者是魔靈、精靈或是你這個『人類』都無所謂,但是先決條件是要成為誓約者。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不同種族無法締結羈絆靈線,以蕾菲亞娜的羈絆靈線締結我的誓約靈線,算是鑽常規漏洞,這也是老靈龍弗列格曼所說,母靈龍可以依靠誓約主人延續子嗣的方法,不過,即使靈龍壽命很長,生育率卻極低。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修唯一能做的,就是呼喚我的真名,龍聲傳達是靈龍的特別技能,能對誓約者、羈絆者以及血親使用。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修你呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「公主愜意,我當然跟著開心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聽說你最近很閒,老是在我官邸附近晃蕩。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我就知道會被發現,早就想好說辭,「是這樣的,小修在研究里德修拉古歷史,查到那一帶曾經有希緹麗亞的宮殿舊址,所以才四處找尋。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使是精靈的宮殿,也幾乎都是木造的,實在很難完整保存下來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這樣啊!其實這種事可以問問席禮亞,她也挺有研究的,只是現在不太方便。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這又是精靈的習俗之一,孕婦生產前都會安靜看書賞樂,人類也有類似的胎教行為,儘量不接觸外界是預防意外,只不過獨居期竟然長達三個月,小心翼翼也不是無法理解,精靈生命悠長卻不易受孕,每對夫妻頂多只生兩、三名子女,所以保護更加周全。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修明白。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以……小修很閒,對吧?沒有否認哩!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~城主大概又有新任務,請直說無妨,畢竟小修他也是城主的靈劍士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「反正我的報酬都記在牆上,請不必掛心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">意思是——城主大人你還欠我很多,可別胡亂丟任務過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯怔了一下,笑道:「沒啦!這任務不是里德修拉的,也不是王城的,跟我也沒關係哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修明白,意思是可以放心拒絕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別這麼果斷,我什麼都還沒說呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我小小試探一下,城主就慌張了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲也歪著頭:「那誰給報酬?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不提這個,先聽我說——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來,是一周之後高普尼亞王國的王儲登基,克羅夫曼王子會代表利德納陛下出席。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">是件大事沒錯,我們早就知道消息,但是——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請恕小修無禮,這件事別說是我,就算是城主、小艾也都沒有太大關係哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和艾莉絲也曾經與克羅夫曼一起到過拿茲王國進行親善訪問,實際交流卻是克羅夫曼完成的,我和艾莉絲只是湊個員數吃頓晚飯罷了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果又是湊數還請城主回絕,拿茲那一回真的累了。」艾莉絲搖著頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我當然知道啊!所以才不會派你們去高普尼亞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">誒?——我有點納悶,既沒要我們去,怎會提起這檔事?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果今天克羅夫曼殿下有羈絆者的話,王子妃通常會一起去對吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是這樣沒錯,那——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲猛地打斷我的話:「明白,我和小修會前去參加。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「太—好—了,我欠公主一次,感恩,太感恩啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——什麼狀況?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲嘆了口氣:「小修要有點自覺,城主是指陪聖女去啦!桃花擔心找你不肯,轉而對城主施壓,大概吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯搔搔頭:「就是這樣,我也很不好意思哩!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「多虧城主大人的『好心』,讓小修多了一個『伴侶』身分。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好了啦!小修怎麼還在生氣,其實聖女伴侶也很不錯啊!名聲四海皆知。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——城主大人您說錯了,是『也很不容易』!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請城主原諒小修無禮,羈絆者本來就難再付出感情,他也很困擾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒錯,我現在上街,射過來的視線感覺上還挺微妙的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯之所以低聲下氣就是這個原因,雖說是為了王國與里德修拉的安全,他也明白這等於出賣了我和公主。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「以前還只是單純愛慕,現在市集的那些女孩,個個都認為自己有機會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">能愛上兩個就能愛上三個,既然有三個,五個大概也沒問題,是這樣的邏輯嗎?聖女也是一樣,當初就是被她發現我和蕾菲亞娜也能相愛,這才大了膽子在屋頂上求愛。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯笑著:「這種事遲早會過去——既然公主答應,還請後天上路。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">無視我的問題,還搬出『公主』這個緊箍咒,可是——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「後天?需要這麼早出發?殿下出發好像是……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修你又糊塗了,城主的意思是我們不跟殿下同行,而是先到阿坎拉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「公主真是明理,這是聖女大人的要求。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我只是有點不明白,究竟聖女給了城主什麼好處?」艾莉絲歪著頭問。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「啊!好處?哪……哪裡有呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「和約都簽訂了,沒好處不用答應也可以吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不愧是艾莉絲,政治這方面她比較敏感。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒啦~沒啦~我們是友好之邦,全力協助是分內之事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">連我都聽得出這絕對只是門面話,但是他不說內情我們也沒辦法。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">得到同意,阿德列斯一轉開心笑瞇瞇的,聊起天輕鬆多了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">今天是步行到城務廳,打算回程逛個市集買個包子回家,但是最後還是作罷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜一句話都沒說緊跟在我們後頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲附耳對我說:「小蕾絕對有問題,今天出門安靜得過分。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我知道要哄她才行,但是——「我現在什麼也做不了呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">取消去市集就是因為蕾菲亞娜,她低著頭紅著臉跟在我後頭,根本沒法好好逛街,聖女伴侶事件總算平息,我可不想奇怪的視線再來一遍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修快點搞定她,我要原來那個小蕾啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好啦~我會和她好好談談。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">就人類行為而言,昨晚是我和蕾菲亞娜的洞房花燭夜,裸裎相對才剛開始她就害羞得想躲開,是她主動挑逗,我當然不會讓她逃走,雖然沒有經驗,我自然而然依著人類本性行動,只是無論如何纏綿,也無法達到靈線交纏那般感動,問題在於我攻陷她之後,多嘴說了一句——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『今晚起,我和小蕾就是真正的夫妻。』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">之後,蕾菲亞娜就變積極了,一次次以人類方式索求著,最後我只好抓住一對小貓耳,好好地靈線交纏一次,她才累得睡著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隔天,當她起床看見自己赤裸躺在我懷裡,想起昨晚的許多害羞事,又發現被褥一團髒亂,從此不得從容,還企圖藉著忙碌掩飾彆扭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">回到梅竹郡府後,給艾莉絲一個眼神,她便藉故找梅琳忙去,我帶著蕾菲亞娜到竹林東道,兩側竹林包夾,是個隱秘的散步走道,來到中央處,我從牽著轉而抱著她,撫著小貓耳親吻著,讓她漸漸平靜下來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜紅著臉,「對不起,我知道自己有點怪,明明不需要大驚小怪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾在擔心妳,我也沒想到小蕾喜歡昨晚那樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修~我們算是『人類夫妻』了,對嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是啊!我們做的就是『人類夫妻』會做的事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嘿~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「又傻笑!小蕾快要壞掉了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修很會玩弄我的身體。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——天啊~居然用『玩弄』這個詞!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「人類沒有靈線交纏,所以發展了類似過程——『愛撫』,到我這個年紀,差不多算是常識吧!當初覺得聖女很可憐我才會用愛撫滿足她,但是我只與小蕾做到最後一步,對精靈而言,這有點像是邪門歪道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">翻譯成精靈語,我認為『愛撫』對艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜比較容易理解,『魚水之歡』等等用詞都很難用精靈語解釋清楚,精靈的『性』也只是單純表示『性別』之意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一般精靈男女結合只是一下子而已,絕大部分時間都在靈線交纏,而且結合目的也只是為了受孕。原來精靈和蕾菲亞娜還是有敏感點,所以也有交融愉悅的快感,或許是因為有靈線交纏而退化,感受不及人類強烈,也沒有人類女性的初夜疼痛。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我還發現,原來敏感點得在靈線發光時才會有效,精靈渴求時都是直接靈線交纏,根本就管不上這種結合快感,所以精靈世界會有虐待犯罪,卻少有性犯罪,畢竟靈線不作用,快感與靈線交纏通通沒用。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使做到最後一步,不管幾次『愛撫』都無法達到靈線交纏激昂的感動境界,蕾菲亞娜不曉得其間差異而不停索求,我也是樂在其中。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只是與蕾菲亞娜雲雨之際我也很頭疼,精靈不需要保險避孕道具,她會不自覺釋出靈線,我還得努力自制,否則一旦靈線交纏,等於受孕條件全部到齊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「人類的『愛撫』,不但腰酸背痛耗費體力,還會把床褥給弄髒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">該怎麼說呢?弄髒床褥大部分都是蕾菲亞娜的傑作,但是始作俑者的我也是同罪。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾不需要為了我而勉強自己,其實——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,我喜歡被小修碰觸,但是小修真的只要靈線交纏,完全不需要愛撫嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這是個好問題,我認真想了想,回答道:「只有靈線交纏也沒問題,但是愛撫能讓我重溫人類身分,也有種『人類夫妻』的實感。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我只是不好意思說,多得愛撫行為,我才感覺到自己終於像個『男人』。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我意識到她在驕傲這一碼事。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「過兩天?阿坎拉?」蕾菲亞娜驚慌叫著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,有一半責任在我身上,是我做過了頭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我擁抱她親吻哄著,如果什麼都不做,以龍女個性絕對會陷入無限害羞迴圈,或許在她心中,『夫妻』的意義更加落實。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當時還以為她們三個單純在聊八卦,看來話題遠比我想像的更加複雜,艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜原本只容許表面上的伴侶,我感覺到她倆現在態度變了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">除此之外,我還感受到蕾菲亞娜思緒有點奇怪,出聲詢問。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我母親離世之地就在高普尼亞。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她搖著頭:「看過路線圖再做決定,有聖女同行我也不想大費周章,行程配合不了就下一次,我們有的是時間。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我點頭同意,但還有件事必須去做。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可以再一次靈線交纏嗎?我想要小蕾,非常想要。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真壞,明知道我不會拒絕,還故意說得這麼殷切。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜以微笑回應,彼此貼合鼻頭磨蹭,然後唇瓣相疊舌尖輕點,濡溼交融一會兒,我毫不客氣掠奪她那顫抖的靈線,果然,還是靈線交纏的一體感最棒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我久違的單獨前往修道院,不知何故,席禮亞召見了艾莉絲,梅琳陪同護衛,說不知何故也不對,是我自己不去過問,同是女性肯定有許多悄悄話,而且,艾莉絲即使身體沒成長,心智還是會漸趨成熟,我必須多給一點空間,好讓她熟絡自己的朋友。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜和伯納登上街採辦,伴手禮之類是一定要的,至於給聖女的禮物,早在拿茲的金盾王都就已經買好,但是安潔兒堅拒代送,艾莉絲也認為我應該親手奉上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">而且,我仔細看過地圖才發現,登基典禮還有十餘天,聖女要求我明天就到坎培拉,明擺著想多相處幾天,平常艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜都會幫我留意這個細節,這次她倆卻完全不吭聲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我大概有猜到,艾莉絲又想趁著停留時期造訪王城圖書館,蕾菲亞娜大概也會陪同,然後就是我陪聖女去這去那什麼的,梅琳最怕事,就算我要求她也絕不可能當電燈泡,聖女積極又強勢,還有花容月貌婀娜身姿作武器,論智慧我是遠遠不及,尤其是決心最令我害怕,她會把雛菊捆綁後再偷偷跑來見我,從這件事可見一斑。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼?能見到美麗的聖女,小修好像不太高興。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「叔叔明明知道聖女那是怎麼回事,就別笑我了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德語氣關心,嘴角卻在壞笑,伴侶一事我有如實向他報告過。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,我不是故意的,你能接受蕾菲亞娜,或許還能多接受一個聖女,說真的,一般精靈很難做到這一點。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">靈線交纏需要全心全意,因此一般精靈不接受複數伴侶,以免與羈絆者靈線交纏失敗,所以當初查理德知道我接受蕾菲亞娜時,最先詢問我與艾莉絲的關係,當他知道我們仍能正常靈線交纏才放下心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如今又多了一個聖女,靈線交纏破功的機率就會增加,查理德當然會擔心姪女,但是他也明白,城主有故意誘導之嫌,不能全然怪我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我知道自己不正常,但是也會害怕,我可不想辜負小艾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾卻認為你辦得到,至少對蕾菲亞娜沒有問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「罷了,叔叔今天找小修有什麼事嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我試著轉移話題,聖女的事查理德幫不上忙,多談無益。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「其實是阿德列斯要我轉達一些事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「前天才見過面的,可惡,一定又是城主不敢開口才託叔叔轉告。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈~別這樣,他很內疚也在反省,還不斷放消息,說你其實很純情,聖女的事是以王國為重,忠於陛下託付。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好像沒什麼用,還有名流找上門,問我要不要多收小妾,我的名節已經徹底毀了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">難聽的謠傳不少,有說我根本沒締結過靈線,或說我因為艾莉絲還小,無法滿足才轉向勾引聖女,艾莉絲她們只是相勸莫去理會,並批評那些以訛傳訛的肯定不懂締結靈線的真正意義。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「阿德列斯不但沒給你出任務,還讓你跟團出去玩。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「去一趟拿茲差點回不來,連帶小艾也受了不少苦。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是你和小艾的感情似乎更加堅定了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先不說這些,城主大人要轉達的是?」話題又歪了,我試著再扳回來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖然過意不去,但是託小修的福,我們與拿茲、修特羅里的關係非常友好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我明明要跳開那些叉題,查理德卻又繞了回來,令我有些疑惑。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「高普尼亞與我們沒什麼問題,但是鐵拉布塔暗算聖女,與修特羅里難再有交集。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以鐵拉布塔想改拉攏高普尼亞?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是啊!從王室來的情報裡得知,處在他們中間的喬治敦王國,與鐵拉布塔一向交好,恐怕也會提供援助。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「慢著,小修先問一聲,不會要我去跟哪個公主或是誰家姐妹搞關係吧?我絕對不會答應的,就算城主請託叔叔說情也一樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德大笑:「放心吧!先不說聖女伴侶名聞天下,高普尼亞的公主名媛都在一百幾十歲以上,雖說單身,和你年紀也相差太大,倒不如說,緊張的會是克羅夫曼殿下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修知道高普尼亞有個恩妮琪小公主,今年剛好成年廿歲。」多虧有蕾菲亞娜惡補,我學習過周邊鄰國王室成員。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不必擔心,那位小公主已有預定羈絆者,小修別去撩惹就沒問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呼~那就好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">叔叔最後那一句聽起來,好像暗指我會去撩惹誰一樣?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「而且,聖女在你身邊,對方不會不識趣的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我懂了,城主大人希望我為兩國和平,把鐵拉布塔趕回去?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別那麼露骨,表面上我們與鐵拉布塔和平相處,毫無芥蒂。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒有芥蒂才有鬼,襲擊王城的叛軍,十個有九個是鐵拉布塔士兵,上次還想謀害聖女嫁禍給里德修拉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是沒錯,鐵拉布塔在和平條約上也賠上不少錢,怕是不甘心還想討回去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以要我暗著破壞鐵拉布塔與高普尼亞的關係?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「破壞兩字可不能亂講,該說要確保高普尼亞與我方的友善關係。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「關鍵是新王儲動向嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒錯,克羅夫曼殿下會處理這個部分,小修也一旁幫個忙。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「出力打探什麼的我沒問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不只如此,聖女與小修關係不錯吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「叔叔等等,要是開口要求,我肯定會被聖女吃掉的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是你不提,聖女大概不會做多餘的事,為什麼會被吃掉?你是聖女的伴侶吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這……明白,又是要我自暴自棄,難怪城主不敢向我開口,為了聖女的事,老城主把他狠狠唸了一頓。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾和蕾菲亞娜那邊……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「她們好像和聖女達成什麼協議,不是我在抱怨,聖女真的聰明,知道從哪先攏絡。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「既然如此,小修還擔心什麼?聖女號稱是最美麗的女精靈,你不吃虧吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">美麗不假,但桃花是非常高窕的女性,一般精靈只敢敬而遠之,幸好我這個人類長得也很高大——其實才一百七十公分,桃花做為女伴站在身邊,確實很合適。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就算小艾能諒解,我還是心中有愧。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修適應能力很強,叔叔有信心,小艾也是。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對手很強大,我自己反而沒啥信心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">叔姪相視而笑,艾莉絲也希望能拉攏兩國關係,只要別再『賣身』我就沒什麼異議,自從拿茲回來後,艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜有意無意就提起聖女,我還知道她們之間有密切的私下書信往來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不過,這一年來我日子也沒白過,基本上了解魯迪因德是個小國,外交十分重要。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">咚咚敲門聲,查理德應了一聲,進來的是巴蘭多和卡多尼梅。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我起身行禮:「卡多尼梅夫人,巴蘭多師傅,小修有禮了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德讓我們都坐下談。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">卡多尼梅:「修閣下,一陣子沒見,氣色很好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這裡都是好朋友,叫小修就好,託叔叔的福,我明天要去會情人。」我苦笑著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴蘭多和卡多尼梅都知道我與聖女的來龍去脈,也明白我苦笑為何。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別苦悶,小修該驕傲才是,來~這是師傅送你的餞別生日禮。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「送?不是吧!這護套不便宜,費用還是我自己來吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">護套是輕質耐用的鍛銀打造,材料加工都昂貴,我接過仔細檢查,護套內裡刻上我的名字與蕾菲亞娜真名的英文拼音,這樣真名才不會被其他精靈知道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不不,我在小修那兒拿到不少好東西,我夫人交代絕不能收錢。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲抱著我的手說:「別這樣,這麼多精靈愛著你,是一件幸福的事。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">早有交代,當我們遠行伯納登就住到別廳,就近看管內院。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">伯納登道謝之後便即離去。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜靦覥的說:「我好像有點逾矩了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「因為妳和小修越來越親密,怎麼看都是妻子的角色,小修~要不乾脆讓小蕾穿和我一樣的衣服,她總是一套女僕服。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我都看習慣了,蕾菲亞娜在家都是長裙,出外時為了方便用劍,穿的是短褲裙,但外形都是侍僕風格,艾莉絲以前會穿長褲,自從受封公主後,為了顧及形象一直都是連身長裙為主。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說完,蕾菲亞娜逕自走進內廳。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾就這樣,她的表現就如誓約靈龍一樣,不適用精靈標準。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,因為天氣轉熱,偶而想去吹吹夜風,她說小修在家時才敢放心離開。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我問過了,梅琳說要待在我們身邊,就當她是去散步吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「今年冬天找個機會上山渡假,讓梅琳玩雪輕鬆一下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「應該的,她幫了我們不少忙,也當作是慰勞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲想坐到我身邊,四下無人,我示意讓她直接坐到我懷裡頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我親密地抱著她:「有事想談?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯~是桃花的事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「果然。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先說了,在修特羅里時,小修要做好聖女伴侶的責任,不管你是不是討厭她。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我知道的,而且也不討厭聖女。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果桃花有什麼危險,小修會置之不理嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然不會,不用說到危險的程度,哪怕只是普通困擾我也會盡力去幫助她。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「都有好幾次親吻的事實,肌膚接觸的程度也與羈絆者無異,桃花明顯也對小修動了情,小修還是當她是普通朋友嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這……朋友之上吧!說到要把聖女與小艾小蕾相提並論,我實在做不到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不一定要相提並論,我和小蕾都說好了,都不反對你和桃花親密互動,讓你陪她幾個晚上也行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那這伴侶就不是表面功夫而已,連骨子裡都是既成事實,這與我們當初的協議已經有所偏離。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳和小蕾也太大方了,我真想知道,妳們三個究竟達成什麼協議。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「桃花答應絕對會尊重小修的意願,還以聖女之名起誓,這輩子只承認小修一個伴侶,也只願意讓小修碰她的身體。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我這罪業可沈重了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在你能力範圍之內去取悅桃花吧!不是為了王國,小修以後想順利行走整個精靈世界,會需要聖女的幫助,修特羅里在四十多個王國都有使館,比魯迪因德多上一倍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這是事實,以精靈數量來看,修特羅里比魯迪因德多上一倍,相對在外交上也更具影響力,四十幾個邦交國,幾乎是精靈世界的三分之二。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「為了這個而付出感情作代價,不覺得不划算嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,這只是附帶的,桃花真的愛上小修,同為女性我能體諒,接下來就看小修自己,相對的,我希望小修最後還是要回到我和小蕾身邊。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒有什麼最後,我一直都要在妳身邊,違背這個原則,十個聖女我也不要。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~小修意思是,只要不違背這個原則,多一個聖女無所謂囉?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誒?怎麼說著說著,這話就變成這樣解讀了?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我逗你的,你對小蕾也是真心的,對吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!我已經把小蕾也當作是自己的妻子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「很不錯呢!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「全都是妳的計算哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「還不都是為了你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「能愛上小艾真的是太好了,我從來都不後悔陪妳回到精靈世界。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲回過身和我面對相擁,我親吻著她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修到底對小蕾做了什麼?她現在看起來更加成熟嫵媚。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是我告訴過妳的『愛撫』,不過,我們有做到最後一步,小蕾很開心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖然我也想要,不過還有的等。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾別著急,總會有那麼一天,而且我們倆還有特別的約定。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是啊~『結婚』!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不管能不能回到人類世界,最慢等到小艾廿歲,我們就辦理結婚儀式。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我說的是客套話,但是被安潔兒掐住語病,沒法反悔了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">此時艾莉絲出現了,「請安潔兒閣下轉告桃花,我們會儘早抽空前往阿坎拉。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳輕嗥一聲,我摸摸她的頭,若非有外人,我真想抱抱她的大尾巴。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲坐到我身邊:「小修失蹤時我是吃不下也睡不好,近一個月見不到面也是心急如焚,所以桃花的心情我能體會。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖說獨闖,我可是被打到不能動彈,幸得安潔兒與塔爾林斯兩位閣下搭救。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">實際上是蕾菲亞娜及時相救,不過,把辛勞推給那兩位靈級士比較恰當。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「這次搜救延誤,起因在修閣下畫像錯置,拿茲陛下為表歉意,特地設宴款待詠月公主與修閣下。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">順便一提,因為我和小艾住在順風旅館,連帶著海莫拉利一行加上護衛也全住下來,一時之間,小小旅館裡塞滿許多大人物,公主、駐使、靈劍士和靈術士,反倒是羅都亞和薇薇亞頗為恐慌。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我花了不少時間與海莫拉利相談,畢竟他還得回報新安達魯相關訊息,當然,我也說了下午與塔爾林斯劍術切磋的事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為都是無趣的小事,我讓艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜上街購買回家時的伴手禮,安潔兒興趣昂然一道同行,她認為自己留下來不太方便。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「喔!是葉布羅最強靈劍士。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迪里特:「最強嗎?,那是一定要去觀戰的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我苦笑著:「她說我恢復記憶,就沒道理會輸。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「修閣下有把握?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我沒見過塔爾林斯閣下的真本事,不敢妄下定論,但是為了回應他的誠意,我會全力以赴。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,我沒打算用攻擊咒術,在對等的條件下,以劍術的切磋為主。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利與維特拉芙美逐一說明我失蹤後王城發生的大小事,好讓我參加陛下晚宴時不至於在狀況外。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">下午,西園廣場,意外的擁擠。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">別說是不認識看熱鬧的,葉布羅城主肯特拉休與旗下幾位靈劍士、靈術士也到場觀戰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒、海莫拉利等等也都來到,除了薇薇兒留守旅館,羅都亞、夏美和亞爾寇文,連冬米爾和南芙梅絲也來了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯和我同時步入廣場中央。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他望了四周,還特地先對肯特拉休城主行禮,「修閣下,如此熱鬧還真沒想到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這消息也傳得太快,早知道就到閣下府邸切磋。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請務必全力以赴,但是……只用長劍?在下耳聞閣下擅長雙劍。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「最初在下以長劍起家,即使後來學習雙劍,長劍劍術也是有進無退,不,該說在下拿手的就是長劍,並非蓄意小看閣下。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說心底話,我一直認為,以御龍寶劍用來對付精靈簡直就是作弊,使用風行聖劍才像是武藝切磋,風行劍咒的加速、干擾都是很正常的劍術手段,只不過,我還能夠並用破咒、狂暴、索敵三術,真的也很異常。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先做說明,在下聖劍幾無對手,主要原因是能先讀取對手行動,再做出相應攻防。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下聖劍能御風加速,並且同時干擾對方攻防。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說到讀取對手行動,相當於使用索敵術,知道對手的力量、靈力流動,就能預估對手下一步動作,沒想到也有劍咒能做到相同的事,對於咒術不強的劍士來說是個利器。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們各退十步,提劍預備。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">催動狂暴,雙方散發鬥氣,廣場上立刻鴉雀無聲屏息觀戰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我讓風行術先行,地上捲起旋風,好讓塔爾林斯習慣,他身經百戰,即使未碰過如此劍咒也能沈著應戰,我這麼做是為了禮數。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯穩住下盤,看來這一點旋風他應該沒問題。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「塔爾林斯閣下~修出戰,請指教!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我提劍奔出,他根本不需要讀取動作,就算是生手都知道奔星式的目標,那是全無掩飾的單純直擊劍招。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廿十步距而已,我轉眼便至。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好快!」塔爾林斯本想衝出迎戰,卻臨時轉攻為守。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然能知道我出劍的力道,塔爾林斯一邊後退一邊卸下劍勁。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一招用盡,我幾乎佔據塔爾林斯的起始位置,塔爾林斯連退數步,雙方再次對峙。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廣場上響起如雷掌聲與歡呼,真是的,戰鬥氣勢被打斷了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我行禮,退回自己的起始點,塔爾林斯也站回原來的位置,等於重新開始。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「以往修都是一招得手,不愧是閣下,反應迅速無比。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~在下太過多慮反而錯失先手,沒想到這一招樸實簡單,卻是極為有效。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不是客氣,以前常有劍士上門挑戰,我嫌麻煩,都是突出一招了結戰鬥,塔爾林斯經驗豐富,他花了點時間解讀我的動作,所以才會不及拆招,致使自己退了數步。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">知道我們的戰鬥被掌聲給擾亂,肯特拉休的衛士們進場對觀眾們說明戰鬥中儘量不要鼓掌歡呼,會嚴重影響決鬥氣氛。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們彼此行禮,再次蓄勢待發。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這次我不再出聲提醒,劍尖一點,再次以奔星出擊,塔爾林斯果然學到教訓,幾乎同時起步,三劍交擊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「擋得漂亮。」我讚嘆著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「居然更快了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯已經明白對付我不能浪費時間思考。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">奔星式只能用在第一劍,隨後便改以專注一點攻擊的慧星式應戰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯能判讀我的動作,防禦點都非常漂亮,他不是不想攻擊,因為長劍優勢在於攻擊圈大,我的速度又快,他即使知道我的弱點,也沒辦法棄守轉攻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">事實上,追星劍法本來就是破綻百出,只是招招搶先手,逼得對手不得不回防。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">慧星式著重攻勢,完全抑制塔爾林斯的反攻,我趁機再改採流星式連擊不留暇隙。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雙劍防禦優秀,換作我也是先防守,然後才會鑽空出擊,但是,只要保持速攻,我認定他沒有餘裕反攻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不時發現塔爾林斯企圖只以單劍格擋,再以另一支短劍攻來,他力道不俗我也不遑多讓,長劍力量逼他屢屢必須雙劍迴擋。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">勤於練習的塔爾林斯,是我遇過最為氣長的對手,即使暫時沒有餘裕反攻,但是流星式連擊也無法逼他露出破綻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">態勢上是我進他退,但塔爾林斯並非單純被擊退,而是一邊戰鬥一邊思考退路。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迂迴後退才沒被逼出場外,還能卸去劍勁,我深深佩服,未來也該朝這方向學習思考,或許有一天我也會遇上壓倒性的對手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我想攻破他的防禦,他也想找到我攻擊的間隙,還真沒辦法立分勝負。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不禁苦笑,明明是我佔優勢,知道他的斤兩卻是莫可奈何,他確實知道我每一劍的落點與劍路,防禦嚴密。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">追星劍法並不擔心被看穿,巴蘭多初創之時,便考慮到我學劍時間不長,並不拘泥於固定劍路,而是以出手目標為主,比如想要擊中心窩,我能從四方起攻,最後都能攻至心窩,因為劍路不固定,所以對手常會疲於應付。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">偏偏塔爾林斯以判斷我的攻擊點作為出劍依據,根本不在意我會從什麼方向起攻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">似乎有默契,我們同時退後,然後各自回到起點,見雙方暫時停下,四周掌聲又起。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修閣下真是十分難纏啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「塔爾林斯閣下才是滴水不漏。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「考慮到狂暴的極限,在下不犯險恐難取勝。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下也有相同的想法,劍法不分軒輊,不入虎穴焉得虎子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯知道拖越久越難取勝,但是,有攻擊優勢的我也不樂見以狂暴分高低。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們再次提劍,廣場喧鬧聲戛然而止。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這次是塔爾林斯先起步,果然是著急了,已經過了一炷時間,在全力拼鬥下,想維持到兩炷時間非常困難,我的狂暴非常充裕,雖然未見塔爾林斯喘息,但他自己心裡大概有底,再拖下去他會連反攻的餘力都沒了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使如此,我也沒道理退縮,長劍急伸,改用繁星式攻擊數點,意圖迫他慌亂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在追星劍法中,星移式假動作最多,十假一真,我不認為能夠對付判斷精準的老練劍士,但是,繁星式是實實在在以數個落點快速輪流攻擊,雖然目標最多只能選定三~四點,但足以讓塔爾林斯手忙腳亂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我是這麼想的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">也只有我是這麼想而已,因為塔爾林斯出乎我意料之外。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使風行聖劍因為繁星式而漂浮不定,也沒能亂了對手的思路。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯只用左劍格擋,只用一支短劍是沒法擋下繁星式的,我非常確定。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">然而判斷神準的塔爾林斯當然也知道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">剎那間我終於明白,是故意的,他做好準備左劍能擋多少算多少,右劍直伸從我左側而來,越過長劍取我左上臂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">長劍破壞力比短劍大多了,最壞的狀況就是被我削斷左臂,但是沒防備的我,左臂可能會重創,然後無法雙手使用長劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這覺悟真了不起,我就算受到重創也能治癒,但是削斷的臂膀是接不回來的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">也就是說,塔爾林斯寧可失去左臂和靈劍士地位,也要以右劍戰勝無法使長劍的我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不過,他並不曉得,我即使只有一隻手也能把長劍當作單手劍來使。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我無法來得及回劍擋下自殺攻擊,但是也不想真的削斷他的左臂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">真沒辦法,不想輸就只能這麼做了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我僅用右手持劍改為星火式劍路,連擊他左臂上中下三點,這個狀態下,他的左劍不可能全擋得下,我肯定能得手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我離劍的左手比短劍更快的速度,扣住塔爾林斯的右手腕,阻止他右手劍的攻勢。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">其實有更好的選擇,就是用金屬護套格擋,但是我有心立刻徹底制服對手。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯握著受傷的左手,怔了一會,說:「閣下神技,在下輸了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">頓時全場歡呼,近兩炷時間的比鬥終於落幕。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我跟著梅琳沒問題,小蕾自己小心點。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾把精靈弓和夜光石晶都交給我,拔出寶劍,跳上樹枝,往前奔躍而去。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒關係,她能照顧自己,我們繼續跟著梅琳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我也能感覺到小修就在前方不遠,不過誓約者在這方面比羈絆者敏銳許多,誓約靈獸梅琳也有相同的能力,而且靈龍的夜視超強,論及夜間戰鬥,或許她比小修更加可靠,我沒法在山裡持續快速奔跑,讓小蕾先行一步才正確。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我牽著夏美,利用索敵避開盜匪,一步一步往外移動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">有個精靈走了過來,我趕緊四處尋找躲藏掩體,有個空木箱。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳先躲進去。」我小聲說著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美穿著裙子,不方便跨進去,我索性抱起她直接放進箱內。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有點小,妳先待著。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美搖搖頭,拉住我示意一起躲,空間有點小,但是巡邏精靈接近,沒時間了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大概是害怕獨處,我無奈地也鑽進箱子,輕輕闔上箱蓋。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">太擠了,但是夏美似乎不再害怕,經歷剛才的恐懼也不再羞恥,緊緊抱住我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">就這樣,屏息等著精靈離開,我推開箱蓋出來,再把夏美給抱出來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">終於離開了盜匪營地,我們仍然安靜地,一步一步的離開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">很好,夏美牽著的手雖然用力,卻已經不再顫抖。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝謝!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這種話回去再說,我們還沒脫離險境。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我寧可死,也不想被捉回去,絕對不要被他們玷污,那比死還恐怖。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我停下腳步回頭說:「那種事情不會發生,我不就追到這兒來了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美撲了上來抱個滿懷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河,我……我……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別怕,我們繼續走。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美這才肯離開,我牽著她往森林深處而行,腦袋很渾沌,根本就沒有方向感,只知道必須先遠離盜匪,之後再想辦法回去葉布羅。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">營地方向傳出了吵雜聲,還有敲鑼聲,畢竟帳棚裡一直無聲無息,盜匪肯定會起疑。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一直處在驚悚狀態的夏美,別說用跑的,用走的都有點勉強,再催促就過分了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美,我抱著妳跑會快一些,可以嗎?我沒別的意思。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯,拜託了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳抱住我的脖子,幫我注意後面。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我橫抱起她的嬌軀,狂暴已經使用很久,感覺有點不妙,必須趕快離開,一旦失去狂暴加持,我不敢想像會是什麼樣子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我在森林裡跑起來,比夏美用走的快多了,但是速度還是很有限。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河,後面有光。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「知道了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">索敵早有發現,只是不想說出來讓夏美擔心,我選擇轉向左側奔跑,企圖甩開追兵。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">抱著夏美,我沒有足夠力氣在樹枝間跳躍,從營地起算,大概過了一炷時間,我開始在喘了,暗忖不妙。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">穿過森林,來到山澗旁的河床地,我已經沒辦法繼續,只得先放下夏美。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,我得休息才行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你是怎麼追過來的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一路跑著來的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那怎麼可能辦得到?你一定累壞了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先不說這個,看能不能找個地方先躲一下,休息過後我還能跑。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那邊有個石縫。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為真的累了,換成夏美牽著我走,還得保留一點體力,束手就擒也很丟臉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我靠在石壁上休息,觀察著索敵,至少有四、五十個盜匪,傾巢而出嗎?不知道盜匪是怎麼追蹤我的足跡,或許是有狩獵精靈,又或者是有索敵術的精靈。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我的索敵範圍正在逐漸縮小,這也是靈力耗盡的前兆之一,太不妙了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不管怎麼說,盜匪找過來的方向是正確的。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美——妳躲在石縫最裡頭,無論發生任何事都不可以跑出來,也不能發出聲音。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我去引開他們。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美又抱了上來,「不要,我要跟著你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這樣兩個都逃不了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒有回應,我只聽到輕微的啜泣聲,她大概害怕得不敢獨自留在這裡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美別哭,我還沒打算死在這裡,我跑的快,劍術也很厲害,聽好——無論如何,我一定會回來接妳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我推著猶豫的夏美到石縫深處,讓她蹲下來把身子縮到最小,這不能保証夏美不會被發現,但是沒有別的辦法,我必須設法引開盜匪。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">走出石縫,拔出雙劍,遠離夏美的藏身之處,盜匪們很快就到,我努力地深呼吸調息。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然來了,沒時間細數,但至少有四十個盜匪。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哦!只有你一個?那姑娘呢?」壯碩的精靈說著,我記得他就是首領。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我故意往石縫的反方向遠望,以此誘敵。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「她已經走遠,我是留下來逮捕你們的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">盜匪們都大笑起來,我趁隙掃描一遍,麻煩的是後頭五個弓箭手,暗箭難防,對方似乎沒有發現夏美,我稍為寬心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「笨小子,我們都知道你是誰,那商隊最後一車,你和那姑娘坐在一起,她是你的愛侶對吧?想逮捕我們,不是靈劍士可不行哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不試試怎麼知道!」我懶得解釋,要誤會就去誤會吧!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「居然敢和『御龍劍士』的我為敵,你小子有膽量。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「胡扯,『御龍劍士』叫做修,我知道你名字叫薩格隆,根本就不對。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哼~我真正的名字就叫做修,薩格隆是我的假名。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">用假名是為了隱姓埋名,現在卻報出名號?腦袋有問題嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就算你是御龍劍士,我也絕對不會讓你們追過去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我作勢擋住去路,誤導盜匪認為夏美往那個方向逃去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈哈哈~很有氣概,今天就死在這裡吧!順便說說那姑娘的下場,等我抓她回來,就讓她變成我們共用的愛侶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「御龍劍士竟然如此下流。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「廢話太多,上了~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薩格隆指揮前排盜匪先攻,他們如果全上我就逃了,就八個而已姑且先拚看看,萬一追來的只有這八個,夏美就會危險。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">估算他們攻過來的速度——能行,我辦得到。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">決定好就起步衝過去,對方似乎有點意外我的勇氣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我運用和小混混決鬥的移位方式,儘量不被他們包圍,然後伺機突襲落單盜匪。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來回交鋒數次,我接連剌中四個盜匪的手臂,他們哇哇叫著逃回薩格隆身邊,另外四個見同伴逃走,也跟著逃回去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大哥~那小子很會閃躲啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薩格隆:「有點本事,竟然會狂暴術,難怪說話如此驕傲。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">另一名盜匪:「大哥,怎麼辦?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薩格隆:「全部一起上,誰宰了他,誰就陪那姑娘的第一個晚上。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聽到首領發話,盜匪們除了弓箭手,全都衝了上來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這可受不了,我拔腿就跑,策略早就決定,我要引開盜匪遠離夏美的藏身石縫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">才跑幾步,我趕緊向右方連滾帶跌撲過去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">好幾支箭矢插在我逃跑的路線上,幸虧被索敵先發現,否則早被亂箭掃中。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">躲過冷箭情勢卻更惡化,動線受阻,持劍盜匪如同豺狼虎豹進逼而來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我迅速爬起,提起雙劍硬是接戰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">錯了,前一回合才叫接戰,這回合我是左躲右閃,每次都有十幾支劍刺來,難以正面對抗,更何況喘息又更加急促,狂暴再強終有盡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">邊戰邊逃,還得提防冷箭,要避免被包圍,又不能背對弓箭手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">終於還是被纏住了,別說逃走,我甚至未能遠離夏美躲藏的石縫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我發狠了!硬是擠出靈力讓狂暴持續,也不管有幾支劍招呼在我身上,我能砍就砍,發瘋似地能刺就刺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不斷有盜匪受傷,但我自己也好不到哪裡去,遍體鱗傷,衣服上全是血漬,若非狂暴減輕痛楚,否則早就倒了下去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">盜匪不像我能耐受疼痛,不斷有受傷盜匪逃回去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薩格隆不耐煩的大叫:「全部都給我閃一邊去!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">嘍囉們畏懼我不要命的死拼,聽見首領這一喊也趁機退回去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呸~你們這些傢伙,平常吃好睡好,也不好好鍛鍊,那姑娘的第一夜還是我自己來,全都給我在後面好好看著,狂暴嗎?我也會,來比一比吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薩格隆提起闊劍走了過來,照理來說,這是我逃跑的好機會。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是,實在沒力氣再跑了,更何況還有好幾個弓箭手盯著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我喘著大氣,看著薩格隆一步步進逼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">提劍防禦,左腳卻不聽使喚跪了下來,只得用左手撐地,原來左大腿深深一道劍傷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——到此為此了嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不行!」我對著石縫大叫,因為索敵發現夏美在移動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阻止無用,夏美仍然衝了出來,直往我這兒奔來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薩格隆停下腳步一怔,隨即大笑:「這下也不必追,姑娘自己回來啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美蹲在身邊扶住我,我嘆了口氣,狂暴已經用盡,咒術自動解除,頓時周身痛楚都回來了,失去力氣的我再也支撐不住,倒在夏美懷裡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河夠了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「又哭……笨蛋……不是叫妳……別出來嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是我害了你,對不起。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,大河已經保護我了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她拾起我掉落的短劍,一手抱著我,一手以劍抵住自己的脖子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美……」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「要死,就一起死。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美對著薩格隆大喊:「再靠近我就自殺,你們什麼都得不到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薩格隆:「哼~妳有這本事威脅我嗎?想死也不是那麼簡單。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美短劍用力,血水隨著劍身滴落下來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見她堅決,薩格隆又說:「無所謂,剛死的時候,身體還是溫的,我就叫弟兄們剝光妳的衣服,在那小子面前污辱妳的身體。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美恨恨顫抖說道:「可……惡……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薩格隆不理會威脅緩緩走來,我擔心夏美會自戕,但也提不起力氣說不出話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一陣溫暖的輕風拂面而過——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薩格隆只是前進兩步就停了下來,眼睛注視著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他注視的是我們的後方,我和夏美也循著薩格隆的視線望去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一名美麗的魔靈少女在河澗邊的大石上跳躍起落,速度之快如同飛鳥,姿勢優雅如同舞蹈,藍色長髮隨風飄逸,若非身著女僕服,在月色下我一定會以為是仙女下凡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只是轉眼,她降落在廿步之外,改以慢步走來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請容我提醒,襲擊靈劍士可處死刑,更何況是『御龍劍士』。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">藍髮女孩柔音悅耳,卻滿滿威脅之意,是薩格隆的同夥嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是——這個聲音?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美大叫道:「他不是,靈劍士才不會那麼兇狠卑劣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我瞄向薩格隆,他表情滿是驚愕,難道他們不是同伴?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">藍髮女孩走到我身邊對夏美說:「那傢伙當然不是——妳是夏美吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳認識我?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「現在已經安全,把劍放下別傷害自己,我會除掉這群無恥冒用主人名號的盜匪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聲音……好熟……」我硬是擠出一點聲音。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「很開心你能記得我的聲音,全身都是傷,雖然心疼想分擔傷害,但是得先擺平這群盜匪才行,主人很努力,請先休息一會,剩下的交給我吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——主人?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">藍髮女孩看了夏美又瞇著笑眼對我說:「還有,花心是不行的喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——花心?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美也是一臉茫然,她到底在說什麼我不是很懂,但是感覺……很安心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">時間回到半炷時間之前,我——蕾菲亞娜,雖然沒有梅琳的超強嗅覺,但是我能感應到誓約者的氣息,而且還伴隨著緊張的氣氛,得到小艾允許,我取出寶劍發動龍行,全力往小修的方向奔去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">前方有許多亮點,是夜光石晶,山裡頭有這麼多精靈,我直覺認為就是盜匪集團,而且小修也在那兒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">想到是他我就興奮,但是面對眾多盜匪,小修可能會有危險,如果是平常的他,再多盜匪也不怕,我擔憂失憶的小修力量不足。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我看見了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使是黑夜,龍視也極為清楚,小修倒在地上,我感應著誓約主人,他身上有許多劍傷,但現在不是分擔傷害的時候,站在他前方的,大概就是盜匪集團。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我故意躍高發出聲音從明處接近,好吸引盜匪們的注意力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">太好了,我趕上了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是我很不滿,躺著的小修居然被精靈少女抱著,最後一躍之後,我緩緩走向小修。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一名壯碩盜匪逼近小修,我喊道:「請容我提醒,襲擊靈劍士可處死刑,更何況是『御龍劍士』。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">端詳小修,還好劍傷都不嚴重,動彈不得是因為狂暴用盡,小修靈力充沛,可想而知,肯定是長時間處在狂暴的狀態之下,非常奮力拼命吶!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「主人很努力,請先休息一會,剩下的交給我吧!」,不對,這樣還不夠,我溫柔地斥責他:「還有,花心是不行的喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">帶頭的壯碩盜匪似乎很不高興,提起闊劍就砍過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">竟敢傷害可憐的失憶主人,我可不會留手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">短劍擊出,我正面格開上段砍,趁他身體失去平衡,立刻補上一腳,把大個子狠狠踢回盜匪群裡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大哥!」「闊劍居然被短劍逼開?」「好大的力氣!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一群盜匪扶住他,面露懼色,議論紛紛。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">壯碩盜匪勉強起身:「放箭!放箭!射死她!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">後頭有五個弓箭手,五支箭同時飛來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——風啊~聽我號令!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">旋風席捲了飛箭,弓箭手連狂暴術都用不好,就只能欺負平民百姓而已。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">弓箭手們吃了一大驚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">壯碩盜匪再次大喊:「別傻在那兒,再放,就是要射死她!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">弓箭手們一回神又取箭搭弓。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">咻~</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一道紅色火箭破空而來,射中一名弓箭手,可憐的傢伙倒栽䓤似往後噴飛十幾步距。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">呵~小艾也生氣了,一點都不留情。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">另外四名弓箭手錯愕著不敢發箭,因為夜晚黑漆漆,看不見是誰射的箭,也不知道箭從哪裡來,只有小艾的弓術配合能夜視的鷹眼術才辦得到。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這次是一支銀白冰箭,又一名弓箭手中箭,比前一個傢伙噴飛得更遠。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩名弓箭手失去意識生死未卜,剩下三名弓箭手知道自己成了目標,害怕得立刻把弓放下,舉起雙手四處張望。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">壯碩盜匪站起大喊:「是誰?放冷箭算什麼好漢?出來!你們也給我繼續射!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——真抱歉,小艾是公主不是好漢,而且先放冷箭的不是你們嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">三個弓箭手只是舉高手,動都不敢動,後頭躺著的兩位兄弟是恐怖的前車之鑑。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">壯碩盜匪推開扶住他的盜匪兄弟,提起闊劍又衝過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一道白影衝了出來,只是一會功夫,壯碩盜匪闊劍落地,伏首趴在地上,兩隻手臂流著血,果然是梅琳,而且還咬住他的脖子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">盜匪們看到這一幕都嚇壞了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這時候騎兵隊也到了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯下令:「立刻逮捕,一個都不能放過!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">根本不需要戰鬥,因為盜匪們的戰意已被恐懼取代。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小艾和安潔兒走著過來。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒蹲下望著小修:「很高興再次與修閣下見面,無法行禮還請見諒,是聖女大人派遣在下前來找尋閣下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一臉狐疑的小修:「我……可是……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一旁的夏美也是滿滿疑問的表情。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「請先休息,我們都知道閣下失去了記憶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我接過小艾的冰精靈弓:「主人的傷……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小艾:「交給我吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她走到小修旁邊跪坐:「是夏美小姐吧?雖然很抱歉,能把小修……把大河交給我嗎?拜託了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美並沒有想離開的意思,但是也不知道如何回答。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「夏美小姐,這位是詠月公主小艾夫人,修閣下是公主的夫君。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美吃了一驚,小修也是。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">從不太情願的夏美手中抱過小修,讓他枕在大腿上,小艾溫柔說著:「我知道小修忘記了,但是靈線可以証明——安潔兒閣下,能麻煩妳嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是的,公主!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒眼泛淡淡黃光,催動『視靈術』,相隔近一個月,小艾與小修的靈線再次發光彼此相連,那是無可動搖海枯石爛的羈絆之情,即使是失憶也擋不住。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修:「原來……真的是……對不起!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小艾噙著眼淚:「不,我應該要更早找到你,小修吃了不少苦,閉上眼睛別說話,我幫你治療。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小艾一隻手握住小修,一隻手發動療癒術為小修治療劍傷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳守在小修的另一側</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒也沒閒著,為夏美治療脖子上的劍傷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我瞥見夏美默然的神情,心中暗嘆——主人,你又撩動無辜少女心,真是罪業啊!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯並未過來打擾,只是站在稍遠處,靜靜地看著這一幕。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在快速馬車內,我和小艾坐在一起,自從見面之後她就沒放開手過,對面是安潔兒和夏美,自稱女僕的藍髮魔靈,要求我叫她小名——小蕾,她正在駕車返回葉布羅,塔爾林斯的騎兵隊還在剛果山處理盜匪與營地。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原本塔爾林斯想留下夏美協助調查,在安潔兒關說下,以驚嚇過度為由,和我們一同先行返回。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「修閣下表情挺複雜的,知道身分與家眷重逢不開心嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我解釋著:「並不是不開心,心裡頭很踏實,只是感覺像是做夢,而且這身分有點……和我想像中大不相同。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「呵~閣下原來是怎麼想的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「因為動作很敏捷,還以為自己是在森林裡長大的,大概是那種與外界隔絕的小村落。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「要是告示單上的畫像正確,大……修閣下早就找回身分了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小艾:「夏美小姐叫大河也可以,我不會介意的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「還是叫大河吧,也不用在意我的身分。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美笑道:「好~那我就叫大河了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小艾問著我:「被我牽著手,會難為情嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,似乎我們以前就常常這樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯,就算走在大街上,我們也是手牽著手,從以前你身無分文,直到成為靈劍士,一直都不曾改變過。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「難怪牽著妳的手有種安心的感覺。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「其實是小修為了讓我安心才一直這麼做的,雖然失憶,幸好溫柔沒有改變。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一樣嗎?我真的是聖女的伴侶?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「確實無誤,而且還是萬民之前公開的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有點不敢相信,我居然……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小艾又笑道:「是我同意的,其中也有許多緣由,小修並沒做錯什麼。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「公主有靈線羈絆,聖女就只有記憶牽絆,萬一修閣下一直未能恢復記憶,聖女就太可憐了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小艾:「失憶沒法治療,但是我和小蕾討論過,還有方法可以試試,暫且稍安勿躁,小修還記得什麼嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……我印象中有個姐姐,而且好像也有許多黑髮圓耳的同族,我是精靈嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是的,是萍姐——萍.南宮,你的同族都是黑髮圓耳,至於……確實小修也是精靈,但是啊,家鄉非常遙遠,我們一直都在找機會回去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我腦海中一直聽到聲音,我現在知道那是小蕾小姐的聲音。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「叫她小蕾吧,說小姐也太見外,她可是你忠心耿耿的女僕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「因為有那聲音,我才一直認為自己有羈絆者或是交往對象……抱歉,這樣說好像很不禮貌,為什麼會是小蕾呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這是理所當然,總之,小修遲早會明白的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「蕾菲亞娜小姐出現時,看她的眼神,我還以為是羈絆者。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">初遇小蕾時,我也是如此認為,小艾出現時我還疑惑了一下子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我早就看習慣,這對主僕很微妙哩!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒的瞹眛說法與小艾的神祕笑容令我起疑,難道我與女僕有不正常關係?難道我真是惡劣的花心靈劍士?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">回到順風旅館,羅都亞和薇薇兒看到夏美安全歸來,都開心的不得了,但是我狀況不佳需要休息,也是失憶後第一次和小艾同床共枕,靈線証明了夫妻關係,這點小事並不唐突,唯一嚇我一跳的,是在房間內時,靈狐梅琳居然能開口說話對我打招呼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">至於解釋什麼的,全都交給安潔兒處理。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隔天早晨,小艾扶著我一起下樓,狂暴用盡還真是難受,需要一、兩天時間調整,小蕾、夏美與兩名衛士同桌交談,正在釐清昨天的盜匪勒擄始末,安潔兒到城務廳發送聯絡與安排離開事項。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">稍作招呼,我們坐到另一張餐桌,羅都亞和薇薇兒也過來,亞爾寇文也蹦跳過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河哥哥~小艾姐姐說我們可以叫你大河,還是要叫小修哥哥?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「叫大河沒問題哦!那是我和你們共有的記憶,小修是我,大河也是我。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「別說任性的話,誰都有自己的歸屬,順風畢竟只是過客的旅館。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我取出背包裡的兩支短劍交給小修:「這一對短劍名曰『御龍寶劍』,是主人的配劍,它是精靈王希緹麗亞的遺物,能夠使用這對寶劍的,就只有被寶劍承認的小修與我這個誓約者,它擁有五個強大劍咒,小蕾認為其中一個劍咒有機會幫助小修恢復記憶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修拿起寶劍端詳,神情疑惑,會懷疑也很正常,畢竟連我自己都不是很有把握。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「現在要用到的是『龍鑄術』,它是寶劍的重鑄咒文,重鑄之後短劍將回復如新。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我挺起身子靠近小修,抱住他的臉龐給個深深一吻,好好地傳達自己的感情。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我鑽進小修懷裡,轉身背對他,讓他如同抱住我一般,雙劍在我胸前交叉,小修握著雙劍,我也握住他的手。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">詠畢,劍身燃起紅色火焰,我仔細注意小修的手,並未灼傷,是好的開始,御龍寶劍沒有忘記主人。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">漸漸地,小修和我全身都浴沐在龍嶽之火裡頭,我回頭望著小修,他緊閉雙眼,雙手稍微顫抖,我溫柔地撫握他的手背,心中默默祈禱。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原本小修手臂上有許多被治癒的傷疤,隨著龍嶽之火的旺盛而逐漸褪去,連帶著我為他分擔傷害的傷疤也消失了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——小修加油!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">再次回頭望著他,額眉緊蹙,大汗淋漓,不僅是靈力,似乎也用上不少氣力,我用力握緊他的手,以防他鬆手掉落寶劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">劍身上的黃金光芒忽大忽小,逐漸褪盡,紅色火焰也跟著消失,我吐了一口氣,總算結束了,我這才發現,小修失去意識趴在我的背上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我輕輕取走他手中的寶劍,看起來更加光亮。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我轉身扶住小修,讓他躺平枕在我的大腿上休息,並取出手巾為他擦拭汗水。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">黑暗之中,卻是非常熟悉,一個光點朝我而來,隨著接近而越來越大。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">光點來到我的面前停下,是金髮高窕的女性精靈,我就知道——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「希緹麗亞妳好,好久不見。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「人類小修,請容吾一語~歡迎回來!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,差點把妳給忘記了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「無論汝忘卻何事,吾仍永存汝之意識中。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那妳也早點出現呀!這陣子我可鬱悶了,什麼都記不得。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「無妨,即使啥都不做,最後仍會再次想起,幸虧汝之誓約者聰慧,懂得以吾之寶劍開啟汝之心田。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然,勿庸人自擾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「太好了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「汝有何感想?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好像失去了一切……內心很空虛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「甚好,請牢記於心,莫待失去窮追悔,破鏡終難再重圓。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有件事一直想請教希緹麗亞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請說,吾知無不言。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「上次見面你帶我去的坑道,但是我們找不到啊!就是有歐特丘茲那個。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞牽著我的手:「隨吾而來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">頸部以下根本無法活動,當然只能隨她而去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們也沒去哪裡,而是周圍的黑暗漸漸退去,變為天色一亮,突來的光亮令我瞇起眼睛,好一會兒才習慣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">眼前風景陡變,是一棵精靈樹,周圍都是古式房子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這裡是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「里德拉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這個我知道,里德修拉的古名就叫『里德拉』,莫非這景象是希緹麗亞那個時代?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞牽著我移動,如果要我形容,就是幽靈的那種飄浮移動,也罷,畢竟是在夢裡,也不必在意這點小事,不過,還是上一回那個夢裡用腳走路比較實在一些。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我被牽著左拐右轉,萬年前的古城,早就翻新到完全不一樣的市容,唯一相同的就只有精靈樹而已,我已經沒辦法比對位置,只能強記方向,似乎是往東北方。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後來到一處石殿,我們進入殿內大廳,裡頭滿是雕柱。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「停一下!拜託。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞停下不動,這石殿我沒見過,但是那雕柱我卻認識。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是……城門旁的飾柱!」真的,一模一樣,每次經過城門都會看到,而且還是里德修拉的特色之一。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「城門?飾柱?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒事,是現在城裡的建築,和這雕柱很像,希緹麗亞沒有見過,我們走吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞又開始移動,從大廳進入內廳,但是什麼東西都沒有,我們來到內廳中央,地上以是兩片門扉,門扉自動打了開來,出現了階梯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞:「歐特丘茲,就在裡頭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘆了一口氣,「這個石殿是在里德修拉的哪裡呀?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞:「吾不知,已引汝至此,請隨意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隨意個頭!不過實在不能怪希緹麗亞,她那個年代與我這年代畢竟差了上萬年。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「很抱歉,我會設法找到的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">至少我明白坑道是在里德修拉城裡,而不是那個廢棄礦坑,之前做了一次白工,不過,幸虧是做白工,才有機會救下遇襲的聖女。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「希緹麗亞,下去看看嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她抬頭望了望:「不,汝當歸去,誓約者在等待。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「也罷,謝謝妳告訴我這些事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞放開了我的手,周遭的風景漸漸被黑暗吞沒,她微笑道別,離我越來越遠,又回復成虛無的世界……</span></span></div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-cb4c3464-c155-04d3-55b7-ec9fcd9ac970"><span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一早,梅琳留在房間,我——艾莉絲——和小蕾在順風旅館的附屬餐廳吃早餐,旁邊還多了一位小精靈——亞爾寇文。</span></span></span></div>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-cb4c3464-c155-04d3-55b7-ec9fcd9ac970">
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">早餐只有房客用餐,薇薇兒知道我們是來找大河的,便讓我們隨意坐著,小蕾預付了五天房錢,小費也給得大方。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誒……是大河哥哥的家眷,長不太像吶!紅髮姐姐真漂亮,藍髮姐姐還是魔靈,怎麼看都不像一家子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說話的是順風旅館老闆娘的兒子亞爾寇文,大家都叫他小文,銀色長髮綁著馬尾,穿上裙子肯定會被誤會成小女孩,用餐的房客們都走光了,亞爾寇文便來找我們搭話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「千真萬確。」小蕾很少與陌生者交談,仍然出聲肯定。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是真的。」我也笑著說。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「和大河說話一樣有禮貌,雖然是小精靈,可我覺得姐姐們都好成熟。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河也是小精靈啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河是小精靈?說他五十歲我都不會懷疑——我可以坐在這兒嗎?」是薇薇兒,她服務完最後一位房客,走過來與我們聊天。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「薇薇兒夫人早安!請坐,大河今年十九歲,確實算是小精靈。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文:「也就是說,大河哥哥沒有羈絆者,嘿嘿!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——他在高興什麼?就算對小修有意思,小文也是男孩吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「非常抱歉,他已經有羈絆者,安潔兒閣下可以証明這一點。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「他不是小精靈嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「發生一些事,締結靈線提早了,也可以說是個意外。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來真的有啊!」,薇薇兒打量著我和小蕾:「請問妳們哪位是他的羈絆者呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河是我的夫君。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我乾脆地承認,這一家對小修有救命之恩,遲早要說明實情。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文:「哇啦~妳也還是小精靈啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖然沒打算刻意表明,但是夫人似乎早有猜到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒點點頭:「觀察妳們倆的神情,大概就是那麼一回事,我還以為只是交往對象,雖然大河失去記憶,似乎也認為自己有羈絆者,到底是怎麼走失的呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「輪船上遇上暴風雨,他是為了搭救一群孩子,不小心被大浪給捲入河中。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「羅都亞的確是在河邊救起大河,妳們一定找了很久。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們甚至找去底里多,可惜昨天路上和他錯過了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那請問蕾菲亞娜小姐是大河的誰呢?不可能有魔靈家眷吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「他是我的主君。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「女僕?大河果然出身不俗,能有靈術士相伴,絕非一般名門而已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">靈術士指的是安潔兒,她現在去了城務廳,打算會見城主說明來龍去脈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒繼續說道:「我想……也該告訴我大河的真實身分吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果能答應不隨意張揚,我也沒打算隱暪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「告訴夏美和羅都亞沒關係吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然可以,至少在我們離開前保密,要是知道我在這裡,拿茲王城會很緊張。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文咽了一口口水:「跟王城有關?那可真不得了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾取出兩張畫像,一張是我畫的小修畫像,薇薇兒和亞爾寇文就是靠這張認出大河就是小修,另一張則是尋找『御龍劍士』的告示單,上頭的畫像與小修差了十萬八千里。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒神情大變:「不會吧!妳的意思,大河就是……修.南宮?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「正是,我叫他小修,王城的畫師憑說法描繪,但是畫工並不真實,也沒事先給我們校閱,所以延誤了搜尋時機,安潔兒閣下剛剛前往城務廳,就是要通知王城暫時中止搜索任務。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「原來大河是傳聞中的御龍劍士,難怪劍法好厲害,等等——聖女伴侶,公主羈絆者,啊!那妳不就是——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小女就是魯迪因德『詠月公主』。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哇~居然是公主姐姐。」亞爾寇文眼睛都發光了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒卻是神色慌張,還敲了一下兒子的腦袋:「小文注意禮節,沒大沒小。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「夫人,還請當我們是一般百姓,公主微服,就是不想身分暴露。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是!」薇薇兒緊張得聲音高了八度,知道了事實,頓時坐立不安。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夫人這樣我也很為難哦!請放輕鬆,小修受妳們照顧,我非常感謝,請務必當作一般朋友看待。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「好的,我就知道大河不簡單,沒想到厲害過了頭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文:「嘻~母親還想把姐姐推給大河吶!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒紅著臉:「小文別亂說話——公主放心,大河挺規矩的,對夏美絕無逾距,我確實是有這麼想過,因為大河看起來就是很優秀。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒關係的,還有,千萬別再叫我公主,不小心被聽到就不好了,叫小艾也可以。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「好的!只不過大河失去了記憶,恐怕……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我有想過最壞的情況,不過,也還是有方法可以試試。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「我也希望他能恢復記憶,不過,公……小艾夫人放心,就算大河不能恢復記憶,也不會抛棄羈絆者的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文突然大笑,又被薇薇兒敲了一下頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小文~怎麼了?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">被敲得疼,亞爾寇文還是笑著說:「大河哥哥當初說御龍劍士太好色,又有羈絆者又有伴侶的,還說幸好自己不是御龍劍士,哈~~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修就是這般性格哦!成為聖女伴侶,其中有非常為難的理由,也發生了許多事,還請恕我做個保留。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「所以大河真是聖女的伴侶?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是真的,安潔兒閣下就是聖女派來協助搜索的特使。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「大河還挺受歡迎的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「沒錯,尚未造成傷害之前,得趕緊把主人給帶回家。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「呵~女僕竟然調侃主人,蕾菲亞娜小姐不會也是受害者吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾臉紅了:「夫人怎這樣說啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「蕾菲亞娜專門負責幫我好好管住小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「蕾菲亞娜小姐也挺辛苦的,不過,能和塔爾林斯閣下打個不相上下,要說出『管住』這兩個字我也相信沒問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「冒昧請教夫人,小修……大河除了失憶,有沒有其他異常舉動或是現象?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「勤勞……不算異常吧?總覺得他很認真哩!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">宏德米斯靈術士比我們更早出發,帶著阿達提供的情報去找盜匪營地,他們現在是回程,與我們商隊會合。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美留下顧車,我和羅都亞走到領頭騾車那兒打探消息。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可惜,撲了空,盜匪更換了駐紮營地,實在太狡滑了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「阿達的情報不會是假的吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這倒不是,那個營地的拆除痕跡非常新,埋起來的餘燼也還是溫的,估計拔營沒多久,或許是我們的行動被查覺了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這一點很抱歉,底里多和葉布羅多次派出機動衛士隊,只有一次破獲北盜匪集團,南集團還在四處亂竄躲藏。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不只是商隊,狩獵精靈也常常抱怨,不小心的話獵物就被盜匪搶走——你們放心,留下的十名衛士會護送你們回到葉布羅,盜匪絕不敢冒然出手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「非常感謝!我們這次進貨不少,還挺擔心的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「騎兵必須趕回底里多,跟著商隊的衛士就拜託你們照顧了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒問題,在下代表商隊再次感謝!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">衛士們不但劍術了得,也會咒術,一般盜匪不會輕易接近,就算對方有五、六十個,十名衛士也能應付有餘。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">宏德米斯和哈瓦夫道別後,便帶著騎兵隊回去底里多。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">至此,我們約略走了三分之一的路程,哈瓦夫和各車代表進行商談。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為仍有盜匪的威脅,如果我們在半路停留中餐,風險就會稍大,因為那兒有三叉路,對盜匪而言,撤退路線最多,也是最易埋伏的地點,衛士建議,若繼續往南,有小河可以停留進行炊事,而且距離葉布羅更近,但是我們就得稍為挨餓一會。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">考量到安全最重要,哈瓦夫和各車代表都同意衛士的建議。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和羅都亞回到騾車,夏美又坐到車伕座,臉龐還羞紅著——會害羞就坐後面啊!——但這話我說不出口。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">出發後,羅都亞也移動到最後頭與衛士們聊天,還取出零食熱情地分享,羅都亞是很厲害的經商精靈,無論是誰都能在最短時間內熟絡交談,有他在的場合,完全不怕話匣子會卡住。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我把剛剛得到的訊息也轉告夏美。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「盜匪如果知道有衛士隊在追捕,今天應該不會再出現。」夏美說著。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誰都會有這樣的時候,我的觀念不太一般,並不是說我很隨便,就像有精靈跌倒我就會拉一把,如果拘泥而不幫忙,我反而會覺得有愧。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你沒有趁機對我做什麼吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「再怎麼說亞叔可是親眼看著,我有可能做出不禮貌的動作嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別胡說,亞叔很疼妳的——還有,妳看看我衣服肩膀這裡,知道為什麼溼成一片嗎?」那一片溼漬已經快乾了,但是可以推想回去原來的大小。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呃……」夏美一怔,立刻會意那是什麼,整張臉就像火山快要爆發一樣。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">確實如此,我最近記起一些畫面,但是卻與眼前所見大異其趣,有四個輪子的車廂,沒有馬兒騾兒在前頭拉卻能快速移動,房子高得跟天一樣高,我實在是搞不懂那究竟是什麼樣的地方。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使有衛士同行,哈瓦夫的商旅聯隊還是被盯上了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">剛果山腳一處森林裡,藏匿著卅餘名騎馬盜匪,正是薩格隆集團。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「倒楣透頂,營地被抄不說,這商隊竟然還有正規衛士護衛。」薩格隆略帶怒意說著,心情顯然極差。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">衛士大剌剌地武裝上身,威嚇力十足,無法使用咒術的盜匪不可能正面衝突。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大哥說的不對,被抄是遲早的事,幸好監哨先發現,萬一慢了一步,那才真的是倒楣。」副首領泰瑪是智多星,早就規畫好逃生路線。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「依我看不是被抓就是叛逃,營地位置大概就是那小子透露的,果然新手就是不能相信,幸好平時分給他的食物不多。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿達現在正在認真工作,如果薩格隆不到底里多城裡,是不可能再見到阿達,泰瑪並未想到,正因為平時過於苛刻,所以阿達對自己也沒有多少忠誠度可言。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聽我說,商隊都是騾,我們卻有馬,絕對是我們比較快,衛士狂暴再厲害,最多一、兩炷時間就力盡。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薩格隆眺望著商隊:「一靠近衛士就會發現,就算真的靠近了,那又能夠偷多少貨物啊?太辛苦了,我不如去搶單騎還比較划算。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒錯,布袋套住,抱上馬就跑,衛士追不上的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「再說,綁一個姑娘賣作奴隸,比起劫貨好賺多了,也給可惡的衛士來個下馬威。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈~在他們面前搶走姑娘,衛士們可就大大丟臉,也能報抄窩之仇。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只懂用武力的薩格隆,不解地看著奸笑的泰瑪,一直以來,他深信這聰明的弟弟,只要能擬出計畫就一定會成功。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">商隊來到小河邊,這兒離大道不遠,羅都亞解釋這小支流源自剛果山,最終滙入蘿納塞大河,支流旁有塊平坦的河床地,也是我們計畫落腳午炊的目的地。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">衛士選擇這個地方落腳也有道理,四周空曠視野很廣,不容易被偷襲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖說是午炊,事實上,時間已過正午約三個小時,但是路程只剩不到三分之一。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈們心情落得輕鬆,再過來幾乎都是直線大道,中途有個三叉路,配置了一座固定哨所與常駐巡邏衛士,幾乎可說是進入安全範圍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可惜。」羅都亞說著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為最好的河邊位置已被捷足先登,兩個貌似旅行精靈剛剛完炊,正在吃喝著,稍遠樹頭繫著兩匹馬兒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">然而那個位置最方便取水,如果要等他們離開可能還要一段時間,但是旅程漫長,即便路上乾糧充飢,大家還是餓得等不及,也想吃飽早點回家。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們一行有廿餘個精靈,總不能厚臉皮驅趕先到的旅者,哈瓦夫在兩百步距外挑選一處夠大的平坦地,大家各自取出炊具,準備起火。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">衛士們並未參與炊事,專心負責警戒貨物,有用索敵術的,也有用鷹眼術的,很可靠。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫吹哨集合大家分配工作。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美與另一名婦人到河邊清洗蔬果,羅都亞負責搭灶,而我則是撿拾柴薪。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">很合理,女性力氣小但比較細心,中年精靈經驗豐富,而我呢,年輕力壯當然是負責粗工,其實我比較想去打水,因為距離夏美比較近,但是讓年紀比我大的伙伴走遠撿柴,又不太禮貌。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放心啦!要是有盜匪出現,衛士會先發現的。」羅都亞看破了我的想法。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「但是河邊那兩個……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「衛士剛過去打過招呼,對方還給打開袋子檢查,連武器都沒帶——你儘量撿枯枝,新砍下的比較不著火。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「明白,有事就大聲叫我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和撿柴的同伴一起走到森林邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">應該是杞人憂天,算算距離,炊事場地勉強還在我的索敵範圍內。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「森林裡不會藏著盜匪吧?」另外一名年輕精靈似乎有點擔心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別離我太遠,我會索敵術,有狀況就大聲呼叫你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你好厲害,謝啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我一邊撿柴一邊注意索敵——是兔子啊!挺有趣的,索敵能發現周圍許多動物的形體。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——如果商隊裡有狩獵精靈或弓箭手,中餐就有野味了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">想歸想,我還是努力地撿拾柴薪,儘快完成儘快回去營地。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是,撿不到一半我就聽到營地那邊有吵雜聲,索敵並未顯示有其他精靈接近,但是卻亂成一團。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂——營地好像出事了。」我大叫另一名同伴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們趕緊走出森林往營地望去,兩匹馬兒正奔馳而去,好幾個衛士和商隊同伴在後面追趕,因為有五百步距遠,又是塵土飛揚,看不清楚發生什麼事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「肯定出事了,我跑得快先趕回去,柴薪麻煩你帶回去,這裡很安全不必擔心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">得到同意,我發動狂暴一路狂奔,幾乎所有的精靈都擠在河邊取水處。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">很不妙,一名婦人跪在地上哭,一名中年精靈倒在地上,似乎肚子在流血,兩名精靈正在為他急救。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我找到了羅都亞:「亞叔~怎麼回事?夏美呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞轉身抓住我的肩膀,表情驚懼:「夏美……夏美被那兩個傢伙抓走了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「衛士呢?」我只看見兩名衛士拔劍守在一邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「其他衛士追了上去,可是他們騎馬好快。」羅都亞跪倒地上,哭了出來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫:「那兩個河邊吃飯的就是盜匪,他們把劍藏在土裡,刺傷打水的,用大布袋把夏美包起來,帶上馬就跑了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">綁架嗎?可惡!換我扶住羅都亞:「亞叔,我去追。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗚……怎麼可能追的到……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「相信我吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我卸下水壺、腰包,連斗篷都脫下來,除了兩把短劍,其他全都交給羅都亞。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「亞叔~大河在此發誓,絕對會把夏美平安帶回家!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我對羅都亞點點頭,如果是狂暴的速度,我有信心不會比馬兒跑得慢,只是,能夠維持多久完全無從預估。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美拜託了……帶她回來……我能做什麼?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「為我和夏美祈禱。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫看我想追上去,說:「大河~用跑的追不上的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不試試看又怎麼會知道!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒空閒扯,我再次催動狂暴,不斷控制靈力,注入靈力,直到感覺到頂,深呼吸幾口便拔腿狂奔,循著馬兒揚塵的方向衝了出去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒錯,就是這個速度,絕不輸給那兩個可惡的馬賊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">狂暴加持,我在能夠順利調息的程度內盡情奔跑。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">感覺上不會跟丟,雖然還很遠,但確實有在一點一點地接近。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒多久,我經過一個又一個衛士,他們狂暴用盡,正在一邊喘氣,看到我都是露出錯愕的表情,前面還有幾個衛士,也已是強弩之末,沒辦法寄託他們。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我放緩速度,對著衛士說:「我去追,你們回城裡找幫手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒時間等候回答,我再次提速直追。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——很好,還在索敵範圍的邊緣,夏美等著,我一定會救妳回家!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大約追了一炷時間,索敵反應向右轉,而且速度也減慢了,要追上沒問題。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是,一來到他們右轉的地方,我傻眼了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">速度減緩是因為馬賊進了森林往山上而去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">茂密樹林擋道,我無法以極速窮追,穿梭跑了幾步。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——這樣不行,太慢了,肯定會追丟。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不能放棄是我唯一的信念,我思考著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——狂暴能跑大步,用跳的也行吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">失憶之後未曾如此使用過,只是直覺認為可行,不管了,總之先試試。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我蹬地跳上樹,然後一根樹枝接著一根樹枝,不斷跳躍前進。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為要分心注意索敵反應,差點幾次在樹枝上滑倒,還差點踩斷一根弱枝,搞得我心驚膽顫,冷汗直冒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是,可行,確實比在地上閃躲奔跑來得快。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">越跳越順,我不禁懷疑自己以前一定是住在某個森林裡,或許家眷就是猿𤠣之類的……</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">習慣之後,行進速度遠比馬賊更快,我逐漸接近當中。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">突然,索敵反應又與數十個精靈會合,心中暗暗叫苦,這下子麻煩了,好不容易接近,卻出現更多盜匪,救回夏美的難度更高了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">對方還在移動,我一直追到可以目視的距離,躲在大樹幹後窺視。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">盜匪不認為有誰能夠追上跑馬,並未對我多加警戒,而是圍著夏美打量。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美在哭,一名盜匪粗魯地用布條摀住她的嘴,我能感受到夏美在顫抖。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">想到早上夏美的笑容,巨大的對比令我心痛,巴不得衝出去對決,但是三、四十個盜匪我打得過嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一旦救了夏美,又要如何甩開騎馬的盜匪呢?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一轉念,好不容易才跟到這裡,萬一失敗,夏美就沒得救了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最讓我在意的,有傳言首領是那個御龍劍士,能殺龍的劍士,我又怎麼可能打嬴?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然要求衛士回城求援,現在仔細想想,援軍不知道我們在哪裡,又要如何救援?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不能只有寄望援軍,我得做最壞打算,全部~都靠自己來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">盜匪下馬行走,我一開始有點擔心對方會索敵,不過似乎多慮了,距離約二百步距,卻沒有任何盜匪注意到我的存在。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美眼睛被蒙住,雙手被綁住,被繩子拉著走,因為看不見,有好幾次差點跌倒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒有立即性的生命危險,我悄悄躡步跟著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——要冷靜,要找機會,夏美~請妳再忍耐一下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">下午,在順風旅館,我和小蕾仍坐在餐廳裡等著小修回來,安潔兒坐在另一桌閉目養神,她分開坐的理由是——陪我們聊天的亞爾寇文太吵了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">估計小修回來的時間是日落之前,小蕾雙手緊握,看得出是在緊張,但是我沒有立場笑她,因為我自己也在忐忑不安。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如果是正常的小修,我一定會撲上去抱住他,但是現在他失憶了,怎麼辦?我又該對他說什麼?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河哥哥一醒來看到我,就好像看到死靈一樣,好過分,我心裡很受傷呀!」亞爾寇文提到初遇小修的情景。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一定是誤會,小文明明這麼可愛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嘻~小艾姐姐真會說話,母親和姐姐老愛敲我的頭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我大概知道亞爾寇文為什麼老被敲頭,我自認對小孩子很有耐心,但是——亞爾寇文實在是一張口就停不下來,還常常一個問題接著一個問,沒完沒了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾完全不受影響,小修不在身邊,她就恢復一張木臉,所以一整天幾乎都是我和亞爾寇文在聊天,我也問了不少小修在這裡的生活點滴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒走過來:「小文,時間差不多了,該進來幫忙準備晚餐的工作。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好!」亞爾寇文跳下椅子,真是精力充沛的孩子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「不好意思,小艾夫人,沒法再陪妳,還請隨意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別這麼說,是我們霸佔這裡,抱歉耽擱妳們的生意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放心,小店不會坐滿的,更何況小艾夫人也是貴客,就算坐滿也不能趕走。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝謝!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">貴客是真的,餐桌上滿滿食物與零食,因為白白坐等也不好意思,因此點了不少餐點,當然,我們會好好付錢。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒和亞爾寇文還未離開,大門就打開了,進來了兩名精靈,臉色非常難看。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「羅都亞!」「父親回來了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聞言,我和小蕾——安潔兒也是——都站了起來,往大門移動而去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒發現不對勁:「怎……怎麼回事?夏美呢?大河呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞低頭不語,旁邊的中年精靈代為發話:「夫人妳好,我叫哈瓦夫,是商隊的領隊,我們遇上盜匪,夏美小姐被擄走,大河君追了過去,到現在還沒有消息。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「什麼!」薇薇兒差點就要昏倒,安潔兒立刻上前扶住。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾也動搖了,為什麼會這樣——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫把事情前後說了一遍,因為還得去照顧受傷的同伴,便急著離開餐館。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當小修追去之後,衛士們回到商隊,認為這樣追過去也沒有勝算,但是只要趕回葉布羅,可以請出騎兵追擊,如果有靈劍士帶隊就更有希望,因此決定飯也不吃,收拾好便快速趕回葉布羅。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一到城門,衛士就把消息告知城衛,目前正在召集衛士營的騎兵隊,哈瓦夫和羅都亞的騾車暫寄城門口,羅都亞大受打擊,哈瓦夫便先送他返回順風旅館。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒稍微回神後,讓僱傭們都先回家,亞爾寇文關上大門,掛上今日休息的告示牌,一反呱噪,安靜地代替母親留守旅館櫃台,年紀雖小,反應卻很成熟。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「事情我明白了。」安潔兒說道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你們是……」羅都亞這才發現我們的存在。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「這位是靈術士安潔兒閣下,這是大河的羈絆者——詠月公主小艾夫人,這一位是大河的女僕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞又是一驚:「大河的……公主?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我起身說道:「羅都亞先生,現在不是吃驚的時候,先救夏美和小修……就是大河。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「啊!是的……可是大河追去也很危險,聽說有五十幾個盜匪。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾閉上眼睛,我知道她試著在呼喚,最後,她搖了搖頭。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我還是要追過去。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾也站了起來:「我也去。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我又大聲叫道:「梅琳——」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聽到誓約主人呼喚,梅琳迅速衝下樓,嚇著了兩位房客,薇薇兒和羅都亞也吃了一驚,但現在不是計較和解釋的時候。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我蹲下摸著梅琳的頭,用心語術和她交談。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【我需要梅琳幫忙找到小修,他可能遇上了危險。】</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【交給我吧!帶我到小修最近出現的地方,我立刻就能追蹤他的氣味。】</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文回到客廳,看到梅琳嚇了一跳,我接過夏美用的床單,梅琳用鼻子嗅著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別害怕,她是我的誓約靈狐——梅琳,她對味道很敏感,能夠追蹤夏美和小修——羅都亞先生,請指引你們最後分開的地點行嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">快速馬車出了城門就是快速奔馳,小蕾駕車,羅都亞坐在她身邊指引方向,順帶一說,現在已經入夜,就算在月光下,這樣狂飆也是很危險的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在車內,我和梅琳很自在,安潔兒卻是緊抓門框不放。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾是風之靈龍,夜視能力很強,是否有路障一清二楚,讓動物聽話也是輕而易舉,更何況她心繫小修安危,肯定是不顧一切。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我只盼坐在車伕座的羅都亞能夠保持清醒。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">正巧,我們遇到了剛剛來到的騎兵隊,還有認識的靈劍士。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">是塔爾林斯靈劍士,沒想到他就是騎兵隊的帶隊官。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「妳們不就是在找……會來這裡,難道真以為那個盜匪首領就是御龍劍士?既然是盜匪,我可不會手下留情。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「我很明確的告訴你,那個盜匪首領是假冒的,請閣下全力剿匪無妨。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">此時梅琳嗥嘯一聲,她找到小修的氣味。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳輕嗥一聲,又往前走了幾步,回頭等著我們。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳點了點頭,示意我們跟著走。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">此時,騎兵隊也到了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯跳下馬:「妳們瘋了,晚上馬車還跑這麼快,簡直不要命了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「盜匪巢穴嗎?當然要去!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯命令騎兵下馬,帶上武器,取出夜光石晶,和我們一起跟在梅琳後頭。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我相信小修就在前方。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一路跟著盜匪來到營地,中央是空曠的廣場,周圍有廿幾頂帳棚,除了夏美,索敵顯示有五十二名盜匪,與阿達提供的數據差不多,少了幾個可能是這兩天被捕或者是叛逃。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">早有聽說盜匪無法取得靈力,補給也困難,所以大都不太會使用咒術,或者是為節省靈力而少有使用。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">盜匪設有監哨,我可以輕而易舉利用索敵避開,對方派出監哨我反而比較放心,那表示他們仰賴著目視,如果盜匪使用索敵,我大概就被發現了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">現在,我躲藏在營地旁一棵大樹上窺探,距離如此近居然未被發現,幾乎確定盜匪們都沒有使用索敵,他們正忙著升起營火,準備炊具,看起來是晚餐時間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美仍被蒙眼摀嘴,雙手反綁身後,一名盜匪把她拖入一頂帳棚內,索敵顯示她被綁在帳棚中央的木樁上,而且又被綁住雙腳,大費周章之後,盜匪便離開回到廣場,因為沒有派員看守,所以才會綁得如此死緊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">所幸盜匪目前沒有侵犯夏美的意思,否則我只能被迫衝進去一戰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">營火柴薪擺得高,而且還有酒,看起來是在準備狂歡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這營地既偏遠又隱蔽,所以盜匪才疏於防範,但是我也沒有很開心,援軍要想找到我們,與大海撈針沒有兩樣,我甚至沒有信心能走出這座山。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大致看了四周環境,也大概算計撤退路線,遁入森林或許能逃過盜匪追獵。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美所在的帳棚旁邊還有幾名精靈,我靜待適當時機。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一名個子與我相當的壯碩精靈坐在主位,實際說話指揮的是坐在他旁邊的瘦高精靈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見大家就位,壯碩精靈高舉酒杯,大喊:「敬御龍劍士!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「御龍劍士!」所有的精靈也跟著一起吶喊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我心中一驚,真是個麻煩傢伙,傳說中的靈劍士到底會有多強?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廣場中的食物與酒杯你來我往,有精靈開始唱起歌,有的搖擺身軀在跳舞,若非他們隨身配帶短劍,那和平歡樂的氣氛真令我嚮往。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">受到歡樂氣氛影響,夏美帳棚旁的精靈們漸漸往廣場中央靠去,參與狂歡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">差不多又過了兩炷時間,許多精靈開始醉倒,原本警戒的精靈也逐漸放鬆。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">戒備程度降低,機會來了,我悄悄爬下大樹,躡步摸黑往營區移動,索敵很方便,能知道每個精靈的位置,我唯一要做的,就是避開被目視。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我靠在最外圈一個帳棚旁邊,突然有兩名精靈走來,我趕緊找個大木箱躲在後面,拔出雙劍提防著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩名精靈經過大木箱旁,我屏氣得差點窒息,幸好沒被發現。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是他們沒走遠,相偕走到最近一棵大樹下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就這裡了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂~會不會離帳棚太近,會聞到吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「管他的,我睡的帳棚可遠著咧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~晚上聞你尿騷味睡覺的傢伙還真可憐。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來這兩個是跑出來小解的,我得等待他們解決完才能移動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「今天抓回來那姑娘年輕又漂亮,讓她陪睡一晚,我就心滿意足啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「今晚就別想了,估計不是薩格隆就是泰瑪,我們要等兩天以後啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「什麼薩格隆、泰瑪,要叫首領、副首領,不然就要加『大人』尊稱啦!你隨意叫名字小心挨揍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好啦!副首領說要把姑娘賣給奴隸商,不過那姑娘很倔,賣得出去嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你還是新手不曉得,副首領泰瑪大人可厲害了,說是大變態也行,他有很多下流招式,以前被舔遍全身、玩弄一整晚的姑娘,自尊心什麼的隔了一天就全沒了,之後都是乖乖任憑宰割,那姑娘越倔強,就會被蹂躝得越淒慘,明天你自個看就明白了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「舔遍全身?玩弄一整晚?真狠,就算放回家,也沒有未來了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這一聽我怒火中燒,這群可惡的盜匪,因為幾乎沒有機會締結靈線,便強行對婦女施虐玩弄,卑劣至此,死不足惜!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——絕對不能讓夏美受到這種屈辱。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩個精靈終於回到廣場,確定安全,我繼續朝夏美所在帳棚悄悄接近。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">帳棚入口朝向廣場,從那兒進入就會被廣場的精靈們發現,我只好從帳棚後面下方偷偷割破一道裂縫,悄悄鑽進棚內,索敵確定只有夏美,催動了火焰術,我的咒術實在貧弱,發出的焰光只夠看到棚內大約配置,我發現了夏美,她被黑布蒙眼沒能看見我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是運氣不好,正想靠近夏美時,有個精靈接近帳棚,我趕緊收掉火焰術,躲在一個木櫃後邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那精靈走進帳棚,點亮了夜光石晶,但是也只有微亮的程度。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哎呀~姑娘,妳還好嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聽到聲音,夏美依依呀呀掙扎著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「啊咧~我都忘了妳嘴巴被啫住了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那精靈把摀住夏美嘴巴的黑布解開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「求你,放我走……拜託……」夏美聲音顫抖著,只差沒哭出來。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「還沒想到哦!今天我精神很好,玩到天亮也沒問題,不過呢,我已經決定第一件事就是把妳衣服剝光,然後用舌頭把妳全身舔個遍,嘿~嘿~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說著,他把手伸出去抓夏美的衣服。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美放聲大喊:「救命啊~救命啊~不要啊,不要——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">無論如何都不能讓他這麼做,我提劍想踏出去,但是門口外邊有好幾個精靈在大笑,我又暫退回去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「泰瑪大人~不要啊~不要啊~」一個盜匪嬌聲模仿夏美的尖叫聲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「副首領要溫柔一點啊!說不定是姑娘的第一次哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別把小姐玩壞了,還要賣去當奴隸呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好好調教一下,明天換我們玩嘿~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">然後淨是這群盜匪的淫笑嘻鬧聲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美不再尖叫,只是一直哭泣,我感受到她的絕望。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">泰瑪放開夏美,走到帳棚門邊綁好布簾:「全都給我去陪大哥喝酒,等會不管發生什麼事,都不准再靠近我帳棚一步,滾~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">外頭的盜匪們用著下流語氣嘻嘻哈哈,漸漸遠離。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這群傢伙就愛瞎鬧……」,泰瑪走回夏美面前,「呵~這下妳知道了吧!外頭全是我的同伴,叫救命沒用的,但是啊~妳儘管喊沒關係,喊得越大聲他們聽得越開心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「拜託……不要這樣,我不要……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嘿,開味菜先來個親嘴,掙扎也沒關係,我會親到妳動不了為止。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「噁心,不要……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我悄悄步走出木櫃,躡步接近泰瑪背後。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美看不見,胡亂地努力左右別開臉,泰瑪粗魯地把夏美推倒到旁邊的床墊上,被解開的只有綁在柱子上的繩子,夏美手腳仍被束縛,她不斷掙扎,一邊哭泣一邊低訴,小聲得聽不清楚在說什麼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「姑娘~我這就來了,讓我開心點嘿!」泰瑪在脫自己上衣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在他最難做出反擊的一瞬間,碰的一聲作響。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我很滿意,金屬護套好好砸中泰瑪的後腦杓,他失去意識倒在地上,我檢視索敵,看來並未驚動到外頭的精靈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我伸手要去解開夏美眼睛的蒙布,她卻以為我是泰瑪,扭著身體甩著頭想要躲開,還一邊哀求叫著不要。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美別亂動。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「啊——」她驚訝得想大叫,這可不行,我趕緊以手用力摀住夏美的嘴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我知道碰觸肌膚不好,但是現在可沒時間考慮太多。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聽我說,我是大河,現在我放開手,妳千萬別大叫。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她點點頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我解下她的蒙布,並扶起讓她坐在床上,再解開手腳上的繩子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我知道夏美不喜歡被碰,但是先忍耐一下,我會想辦法救妳離開。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">解開她雙腳上的繩子,我才抬頭,就被夏美抱住了脖子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然,在危急的狀況下,什麼碰觸忌諱全都可以丟在腦後,我本來還擔心夏美會抗拒而影響之後的逃脫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河~大河~大河~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小聲點,我們還沒有安全。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真的是大河!大河~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美抱得更緊,還一邊啜泣著,檢視索敵反應,目前還沒問題,但是夏美不能靜下來,想逃也很困難。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我回抱她顫抖的身軀,摸著她的頭髮安撫著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉我來晚了,讓妳受了委曲。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河……我好害怕……真的好害怕……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美的臉龐靠在我的臉龐上,滿是淚水溼答答的,我輕輕推開她,她卻緊抓住我左手不放,我只好用右手為她拭淚,很好,她沒有拒絕也沒那麼慌張。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聽我說,遲早會被發覺不對勁,現在就要趁機逃走。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美點點頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「能走嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美又點點頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖然不禮貌,我牽著妳走可以嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美搖搖頭:「是大河就沒關係。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「儘量別發出聲音,跟著我來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我看著躺在地上的泰瑪,抽出短劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河?」夏美摀著嘴怕自己大叫出聲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不會殺他的,在大腿上刺兩劍,他醒來也沒辦法再戰鬥。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只刺兩劍也太便宜這個變態狂,我又在他手臂補上兩個窟窿,這才牽著夏美從後頭布縫中鑽出去。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒嘆了口氣:「畢竟是羈絆者,在下也不是不明白公主的想法,不過啊~城務廳沒那麼早開門,我們先去好好吃個早餐吧!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒一進廳堂就自報靈劍士身分,此時,搜索隊長也已到來,彼此行禮招呼,隊長向接待執行官解釋任務,並要求城主支援,城務廳長也立刻下樓會見,雙方一陣熱絡交換情報,很快,廳長下達命令,讓執行官去找『羅都亞』、『夏美』、『亞爾寇文』與『大河』的資料。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">眼看事情順利進行,我喜出望外。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一名劍士來到了會客室。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「廳長大人~在下聽說有一群精靈在找『大河』先生?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是他,『大河』,你認識?」搶著回答的是安潔兒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……算是,是個很強的劍士,請問您是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒作揖行禮:「在下修特羅里聖女殿前靈術士安潔兒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「閣下早安,在下資深俠士達拉斯,是廳內劍術指導教官。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廳長:「她們在找尋這位重量級精靈,王城有命令全力協助,剛剛城主大人也傳訊過來務必配合,達拉斯君知道什麼就說,不必保留。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「遵命!大河君曾經來過城務廳,廳內最強的兩位俠士都不是他的對手,可否把冬米爾君找來?大河君是他熟識的朋友。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廳長馬上命令一旁侍僕去找冬米爾,並交代免除他目前的勤務。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廳長讓大家都坐下等候,我和小蕾站在安潔兒後方,既然是隨從可不能隨便就坐。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「據在下所知,大河君因傷失去了記憶,一直在找尋家眷,莫非是安潔兒閣下的羈……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒已是成熟女性,比起小修年紀稍大,但也不是離譜的差距,對方見安潔兒心急,誤會了她與小修的關係。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們彼此點頭確認,我相信大河就是小修。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「請別誤會,我有理由相信,這位『大河』可能就是我家主人的家眷。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廳長:「妳家主人的家眷——誒!難道主人是指聖女大人?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒點點頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「聖女大人的……呃,閣下不會是指那位『御龍劍士』吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒又是點點頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廳長和達拉斯都錯愕不已,難以置信『御龍劍士』就在自己的城裡頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「等等——我非常肯定,大河的長相,絕非那位『御龍劍士』,差太多了,在下也看過了告示單。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我取出小修的畫像交給安潔兒,安潔兒又把畫像交給達拉斯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「這是大河君沒錯,但是……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「告示單上的畫像是錯誤的,貴王城已在修訂,只是尚未發佈到此。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">搜索隊長給達拉斯一個肯定的點頭動作。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「確實是他呢!雖然失憶,劍術凌厲,反應也奇快無比。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「在未能完全確認『大河』就是『御龍劍士』之前,還請在座諸位先行保密,以免造成誤會橫生枝節。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廳長和達拉斯一齊點頭同意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">敲門聲響,進來了一位年輕劍士。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廳長:「冬米爾君~這位是靈術士安潔兒閣下,先打過招呼吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「初次會面,閣下早安,在下冬米爾,見習俠士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「冬米爾君你好,在下直說了,我們想找『大河』,請務必協助。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河啊……哦!難道……閣下是大河的姐姐?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「姐……」「姐姐?」「姐姐!」安潔兒、我和小蕾都叫了出來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「抱歉,在下亂猜的,大河說過,家中好像有個姐姐,猜錯了還請見諒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我小聲對安潔兒說:「小修是有個姐姐,叫做萍,姐弟關係很好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「看起來他的記憶很模糊啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廳長:「冬米爾君,麻煩你帶她們走一趟大河的住所。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「帶她們去是沒問題,但是……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廳長:「但是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「他昨天才出城去底里多。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「底里多……」「底里多?」「底里多!」安潔兒、我和小蕾又叫了出來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾這次叫得更大聲,因為我們昨天才從底里多過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">萬萬沒想到那位占卜吟遊精靈竟然一語成讖,果然『會錯過想找尋的對象』。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「此事千真萬確?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「當然,昨天在下於北城門值勤,親自送他們出城的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「『大河』為什麼去底里多呢?有說過什麼時候回來嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「他和亞叔一起去批貨,估計現在正在辦事,如果沒有意外,明天下午就會回來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒起身把我和小蕾拉到一旁,小聲討論。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼辦?追過去還是在這兒等?」安潔兒有點徬徨不定。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「還真是錯過了,竟然被個吟遊精靈的占卜給說中。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「他還說萬一錯過,要有耐心,這意思是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「要有耐心嗎?他只是去批貨,總要回來吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「去他住的地方等,總會等到的,我們追上去到底里多已經是下午,小修明天又離開,說不定又會再次錯過。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「居然相信吟遊精靈的占卜,不過的確有可能再錯過一次,好!就這麼辦。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒回到座位:「請問『大河』住的地方是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「旅館嗎?好,我們就搬到那兒等他回來,可否勞請冬米爾君帶路?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾看著廳長和達拉斯:「可以啊!但是……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廳長:「你去吧!這件事優先處理,我會找其他俠士代你的班。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「你今天的劍術練習因公暫停一次。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">搜索隊長:「還請廳長協助,不管是哪個城門發現『大河』,請務必護送他迅速返回順風旅館。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">得到廳長應允,冬米爾便暫離先去收拾,約定在大廳集合,搜索隊長還有事要辦先行離開,大概是急著把今天的進展傳回王城。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒再三向廳長和達拉斯道謝,便帶著我們到大廳,冬米爾一到,我們便朝著順風旅館前進。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此,有個靈術士家眷,難怪大河那麼厲害,那他也會咒術囉!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「用『恐怖』形容大河?還真是連不起來,他看起來溫文儒雅。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾在後頭偷偷點頭認同,幸好他的性格沒有改變。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾又說:「那我就放心了,到底里多的路上有盜匪出沒,有大河在也能保護夏美。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美?哦,我知道,是那個亞叔的女兒,她也跟著去?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是啊!亞叔負責批購小麥,夏美負責批購蔬果。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾往前一探:「冬米爾君,請教一下,夏美和大河的關係是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「亞叔和夏美救了大河,大河幫她們在旅館工作,很勤勞,每天天未亮就起床,至於關係,就是好朋友啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「只是好朋友嗎?大河喜歡夏美嗎?或是夏美有喜歡大河嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好像說不上喜歡,夏美怎麼想我不知道,但是大河很堅持,他擔心自己會有羈絆者或交往對象,說過至少廿年絕對不碰男女關係。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾互望一眼,總算放了心,小修沒讓我們失望。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「既然你們認識大河,請問他有羈絆者或交往對象嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒堅定回答:「意志堅定真不愧是他,大河的確有羈絆者,而且感情好得不像話,一知道大河下落,肯定晚上睡不著覺,起床還會大鬧一番,跟個孩子一樣可愛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾壞笑看著我,我害羞得低著頭,安潔兒居然故意捉弄我。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「太好了,大河果然有羈絆者。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「咦?他有羈絆者,你好像很開心?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾靦覥地低下頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「原來冬米爾君喜歡夏美,擔心被大河搶走,對吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾乾笑著幾聲當作回答。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「看你很健談,這方面卻意外地很膽小。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「大河也是這樣說我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「冬米爾君,可以聊聊大河到葉布羅的事嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「可以哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">就這樣,我們邊走邊聊小修的事,朝著順風旅館前行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美,我不去幫忙亞叔沒關係嗎?」我跟在夏美後頭,是被她半強迫給帶離旅館,我認為自己該跟著亞叔才對。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒關係的,貨商那兒有搬運工幫忙,機會難得,我們去城裡逛逛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來到底里多城,在旅館住了一晚,早餐過後,羅都亞駕著騾車前去麥倉排隊批貨。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使羅都亞早上批完貨,也沒辦法在今天之內就趕回葉布羅,時局不安定,露宿野外反而更危險,不如明早再出發,雖然會再多花一晚住宿,相對的也安全一些。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美非常熟練,只花了兩炷時間,便完成了蔬果批購作業,批購的物品會直接配送到旅館,不必我們費事,接下來等於是自由活動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美也不浪費,打算好好玩上一天,拉著我走的理由是需要護花使者,依我看她只是想找個伴,城裡頭明明很安全的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先說前頭,我身上沒錢。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河真掃興,父親多給了我幾枚銅板,夠我們玩上一天。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她擔心我跑回去,硬扯著我的袖口,「我去~我去~妳別再拉啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我要去市集,學習一下其他餐館是怎麼做的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這理由正當的不得了,不陪都不行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我心裡很懷疑,葉布羅的市集更大餐館更多,怎就沒見她有四處學習。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「多虧大河抓到那個盜匪,底里多城務廳決定明天派衛士護送我們回葉布羅。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「其實是拿我們當餌哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「無論是否派出衛士,我們都已經是盜匪的獵物。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在哈瓦夫的建議下,阿達在進城時向城衛自首,幸好他是初犯,又尚未參與搶劫,城務廳給他一個機會,以情報換取除罪,而且不留下記錄,但是,限制了阿達三個月內不准離開底里多城,而且每天要到巡守隊駐所報到。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫也按約定,說要帶著阿達介紹給朋友,謀個工作與住所,阿達是開心得痛哭流涕,搞得我們都好尷尬。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">城務廳一直想緝捕盜匪集團,制訂了兩個計畫,第一個是依阿達的情報直搗盜匪老巢,第二個是備用計畫,安排衛士加入商隊,以商隊為餌進行誘捕,哈瓦夫當然同意,這等同有高強的免費護衛。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「到了,就是這條街。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好像菜販比較多哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我很想避免單獨與夏美同行,但是毫無辦法,在底里多沒有其他認識的精靈能結夥。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「底里多四周都是開墾地,各種農作品居多,與葉布羅剛好相反。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">的確,葉布羅只有一年兩收的麥作,蔬菜類較少,但是狩獵較發達,肉品居多,正是如此,所以城務廳希望確保大道的安全,好讓兩大城市能夠互通有無,繁榮貿易。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖然我不太懂菜價,也看得出這裡實在便宜。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這裡是零售市場,會比我們剛剛批購的貴一些,但是這兒賣的水果都已熟成,可以馬上享用,我們買一些回旅館吃。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此,剛剛夏美批購的,要等回到葉布羅才會熟成,對嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「正確!如果買漂亮的,等過兩天回家,賣相反而會變差。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只是買東西而已,其中也大有學問。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">的確,這裡只為零售,要進貨就得去蔬果集散處,夏美一一解說,她從羅都亞那裡也學了不少有用的知識。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是精靈樹。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「很稀奇嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,該怎麼說呢?我只要看到精靈樹,就有一種……說不上來的感覺,在葉布羅也是,就像是……老朋友?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「精靈都靠著精靈樹生活,雖然沒什麼直接關係,但就是少不了它。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一定是的,我們說著一樣的話,靈格也很相仿,大河絕對不是低等靈類,或許……像理絲波亞夫人說的一樣,是精靈與魔靈的後代,也有耳朵是長在特別的位置。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就算想不起來也沒關係。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">被她這樣瞪著我還真有點不知所措,「知道啦!我不會自暴自棄的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美的表情稍為緩和:「我反而擔心你恢復了記憶,就不再是大河。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒這種事,不管有沒有記憶,大河就是大河,救命之恩也絕不會忘記。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~誰要你記得救命之恩,真是的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~別再說這個話題,好無趣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「都是你一臉落寞的錯!既然來到精靈樹,我們去城務廳看看有什麼大消息。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好~都聽妳的,請帶路。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">底里多的城務廳規模只有葉布羅的一半,建築也土氣得多,畢竟是農作精靈居多的城市,我們走到佈告欄,心中有一點點小期待,要是有家眷在找尋我就好了,不過這期待不太現實,因為找尋精靈的佈告通常不會貼出來,因為位置根本不夠放。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我端詳佈告欄,最多的是契約工作,一大半都是徵臨時工。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">還有一項是捉拿盜匪首領,三枚金幣,這可真是大手筆,我想應該不是一個精靈就能辦到,至少要組個堅強的隊伍,然後由隊員們均分三枚金幣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美倒是找到一張挺特別的佈告:「大河你看這個。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這張圖好像是……那個御龍劍士?」我記得畫像,但是文字無法全部看懂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!好意外,居然在找御龍劍士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「塔爾林斯說御龍劍士來過拿茲,算算時間也該回去了,怎麼又會在找他呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒寫原因,城民不太關心國外的失蹤精靈,只有王城會比較在意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,我想塔爾林斯就會很在意,他總是在找對手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美又看了看其他佈告,說:「都到這裡了,我們進去看看失蹤精靈名單。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這我倒是不反對,跟著她就進到城務廳內,結果並不意外,完全沒有收穫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">離開城務廳後,夏美想去附近的中央公園,我一邊走一邊觀察這個城市。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「說不定我原本就是獨居,如果有家眷應該會來找我才對。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是獨居就太好了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂~妳也別說得那麼高興呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然要,好用的夥計很難找——那個……是烤地薯。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美還真是吃不胖。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「外頭裹了一層好像糖衣,我想吃看看。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美食量不大,卻挺喜歡小吃,她總是只買一份,然後和我對半吃,志在嚐鮮而非暴食,對於沒吃過的就更加有興趣,順風餐館的小點心也幾乎是她製作的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「底里多的城民,感覺上比葉布羅的生活步調悠閒多了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「葉布羅從商的多,這裡務農的多,城民閒暇時間也比較多。」夏美解釋著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">公園廣場有吆喝聲,我們被吸引過去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">擠到前頭一看,夏美說道:「是看家犬賽跑。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廣場中間是圓型跑道,周圍有矮木柵,有許多大小不一的看家犬正在跑道上賽跑,旁邊有精靈舉牌,上頭寫著數字『三』,當一隻犬兒越過他時,木牌上的數字換成了『二』,原來是剩餘圈數。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「黑色那隻快嬴了。」夏美也興奮地看著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我終於知道為什麼吆喝聲如此激烈,旁邊有個下注受理窗口,當我們來到時,已經暫停下注。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「白色那隻有機會後來居上。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「為什麼?雖然緊跟第二,也差了快十步距。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「黑色犬衝太急喘得厲害,恐怕撐不完剩下兩圈。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是有接近,但只剩一圈了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吆喝加油聲越來越大,許多精靈都興奮地站了起來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果不其然,黑色犬逐漸力盡,剩不到半圈白色犬就已經超越過去,直到終點,白色犬拔得頭籌,黑色犬甚至掉到第三名。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">有精靈歡呼,也有的垂頭喪氣,下注窗口又再次打開,看來還有下一回合比賽。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">簽賭觀賽精靈眾多,夏美拉著我離開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呼~好刺激,心裡頭一直怦怦跳,大河居然能看出黑色犬在喘。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「每一隻都在喘,只是黑色犬喘得太厲害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">靠肉眼看不出來,那是因為我有索敵的輔助,姑且先當作秘密。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「豐收祭要開始了,我們走。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美說著等會要去哪兒,晚一點又要去哪兒,連晚餐在哪裡吃都決定了,看來,不陪上一整天還真不行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒和冬米爾一路聊著,因為我和小蕾是隨從身分,就跟在後頭聽著,冬米爾說了與大河第一次見面的事,趕走小流氓的事,在西園決鬥的事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「說起來,大河有羈絆者,我妹妹可就傷心了,還沒開始就結束,真遺憾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「你妹妹?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯,我妹妹——南芙梅絲,她對大河很有好感。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「大河就這一點糟糕,不少女孩都對他莫名傾心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">邊說邊回頭望向我們,我點頭同意,小蕾害羞低頭,還包括不能締結靈線的聖女桃花。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有次我們去看決鬥,發生了一點小意外,大河救了夏美,南芙梅絲覺得他很帥氣——啊!那次決鬥就在那裡,西園廣場。」我們正巧經過,冬米爾指給我們看。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「挺熱鬧的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「不,平常沒這麼多精靈,大概又有決鬥,西園廣場是這一帶最適合劍術決鬥的場所,居然這麼多精靈……可能又是靈劍士哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「雖然很有趣,可是我們趕時間,希望能早點到順風旅館。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「也是!順風旅館不遠了——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等!」小蕾突然停下腳步,望著廣場方向。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我小聲問著:「怎麼回事?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有好幾個精靈在說『御龍劍士』。」小蕾感官敏銳,是靈龍少女天生的能力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們駐足傾聽。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「真的,我也聽到了,我們去看看怎麼回事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和冬米爾聽不清楚,安潔兒有『天聽術』,這點距離輕而易舉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾找了一位精靈詢問。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來是靈劍士塔爾林斯的決鬥,挑戰者是『御龍劍士』……誒,御龍劍士不是失蹤了嗎?怎麼又在這裡出現?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們並未告訴冬米爾有關『大河』的真實身分。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「大河明天才回來,急著去順風也沒意義,我有點在意這個『御龍劍士』,姑且看看怎麼回事,好嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也有點在意!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「雖然不太可能,難道他回來了?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「誰回來了?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「姆……我是說失蹤的『御龍劍士』回來了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">知道我們都想看決鬥,冬米爾也很開心,找了個前排位置。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這個是靈劍士塔爾林斯,原來那一位是……『御龍劍士』?和告示牌有點出入。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">無可厚非,冬米爾和大部分百姓知道的『御龍劍士』,都是來自告示牌上的印象,不過眼前這位,除了身高差不多,淡褐髮色,告示牌上寫的是深褐色,這點細節沒有太多精靈懷疑,而且也是雙劍劍士。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾、安潔兒都搖搖頭,一看就知道又是假冒的小修,但還是坐下來觀戰,正如安潔兒所說,小修回來也是明天的事,姑且先看看。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯鞠躬行禮:「初次會面,期待已久,沒想到居然主動挑戰在下,真是莫大榮幸,順帶一提,傳說大道上的盜匪『御龍劍士』,不會是閣下吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">假御龍劍士說道:「非也,那位是假冒的,在下有可能淪為盜匪嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那就好,在下也是如此認為,最近忙於追匪,若非『御龍劍士』親臨,本想予以推辭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「閣下忙碌,我呢,只想擊敗靈劍士,在葉布羅取得一席之位。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「御龍閣下名位不少,有必要這樣做?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呃……當然,挑戰各路高手,以落實天下第一之名。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——胡說八道,小修才沒那麼好戰,也不稀罕這個天下第一。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看看兩邊,安潔兒無奈嘆氣,小蕾……又在咬牙切齒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈~挑戰各路高手,不愧同為靈劍士,在下接受。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">假御龍劍士拔出雙劍:「閣下速戰速決吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯點點頭,也拔出雙劍,雙方催動狂暴,瞬間全場充斥鬥氣,圍觀精靈們悄然無聲,全心注視決鬥。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩方同時挺進,只是沒想到一開始就是全力戰鬥,假御龍劍士速度不弱,但似乎是塔爾林斯更勝一籌。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我牽著小蕾用心語術:【雖然是假冒的,也算是有本事。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【哼~跟小修比天差地遠。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【好了啦!我知道小蕾生氣,那是因為小修名氣大,所以才會被冒名頂用,對吧?】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【也……沒錯,想沾小修的光。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾放下臉色,露出淺淺微笑,她就是這個樣子,只要有小修就變得比我更像小精靈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「不愧是靈劍士,只論劍術的話,塔爾林斯在我之上,可能還比野津閣下更快,這假冒的御龍劍士果然還是不行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「咦?他是假的?莫非閣下見過『御龍劍士』?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「當然,就算他們兩個一起上,御龍劍士也不會輸。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾會心一笑點點頭,我們已經對這位假冒的御龍劍士失去興趣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然如安潔兒預料,假冒劍士節節敗退,汗如雨下,塔爾林斯沒留餘力地猛攻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「我第一次見到塔爾林斯閣下全力進攻,他以前都會留手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「大概是被『御龍劍士』的名氣激發了決心,所以一開始就全力進攻。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「看起來是這樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「哼~我還是很不喜歡那傢伙用……亂用其他精靈名號,騙子,太可惡了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不到半炷時間,假冒劍士左手受傷,左手短劍撤手落地,大退了一步。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯也後退了,搖著頭說:「『御龍劍士』是很強,不過,果然只是傳言而已,想繼續打的話,閣下得拿出真本事才行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">假冒劍士:「可惡!我認輸了,『御龍劍士』這名號就送你吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">乾脆的認輸令觀眾譁然不已,塔爾林斯也有點詫異,他認為對方大概留有後手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">決鬥到此為止——理當如此。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾呢?糟了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我一時不察,小蕾居然離開座位,快速移動堵在假冒劍士前方不讓對方離開,她用上了龍行,速度之快,大家都嚇了一大跳,塔爾林斯也動搖了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「誒?是蕾菲亞娜小姐?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒對我大叫:「公——不,小艾,她怎麼會……?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~碰到小修的事小蕾就會失控,我去阻止她。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒左顧右盼:「不,小艾留在這裡,這裡太混亂,我不能讓妳遇險。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「她只是想討回名聲而已,應該不是存心鬧事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「討回名聲?什麼名聲啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和安潔兒同時嘆了一口氣——小修~你還真是讓我們操心呀!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大家的目光都回到小蕾身上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你——承認吧!你根本就不是御龍劍士。」小蕾憤怒叫道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳管的真多,我要離開了。」假冒劍士想閃開她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾抽出寶劍,擋住假冒劍士的去路:「不准走,除非你承認自己不是御龍劍士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「關妳什麼事,我想叫什麼就叫什麼,別說我不告訴妳,當街拔劍是違法的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我才不管!你這個騙子,不准你污辱御龍劍士的名聲。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾面露怒色,挺劍欺身前進一步,似乎嚇到了假冒劍士。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳……妳憑什麼逼我,再怎麼說也太過分了吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯也看不下去了,走到前方說:「這位小姑娘,請不要生氣,先收起劍,免得出了什麼意外。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">假冒劍士:「閣下是靈劍士吧?當眾拔劍你不管嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「事出必有因,這小姑娘大概有點苦衷,可否請教?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾吼著:「他這個騙子,膽敢冒用我家主人的名號,我絕對不允許。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「妳家主人?難道……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「沒錯!我家主人就是『御龍劍士』修.南宮。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我撫著額頭,就知道事情會走到這一步。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「啊!」亮出身分事出突然,安潔兒吃驚得嘴都合不攏。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾看著安潔兒,臉色疑惑:「妳……妳是御龍劍士?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「不是啦!關係上來說,御龍劍士也算是我的主人。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我真擔心小蕾,靈龍的傲氣只有小修壓制得住。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「妳家主人是御龍劍士?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「正是,里德修拉靈劍士,公主的羈絆者,聖女的伴侶。」,小蕾又指著假冒劍士:「看你這傢伙的劍法,就知道連我都打不過,居然還敢冒充我家主人名號。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯臉色一沈注視著假冒劍士:「我給你一個機會說實話,否則就以欺騙靈級士之罪治你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">假冒劍士:「我說~我說~我是藍之湖來的丹普斯,我不是御龍劍士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「為何冒名御龍劍士?想污蔑他嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">丹普斯:「我幾次上門挑戰閣下都拒絕,沒辦法才用御龍劍士名號,絕非故意污蔑。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「唉~原來如此,有一部分原因是在下啊!——小姑娘,他已經承認,又非惡意為之,可否原諒?至少,劍先收起來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾這才把劍收回。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「丹普斯先生,在下平常不會拒絕挑戰,只是最近頗多公務,靈劍士必須以城務優先,想挑戰你就得要有耐心,否則,就算你冒名嬴了,也會引發眾怒,得不償失。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">丹普斯:「在下懂了,非常抱歉,下次不敢了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「還有,你冒用小姑娘主人名號,理當欠她一個道歉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">丹普斯:「小姑娘對不起,我不該用你家主人名號。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾不想理他,只是哼了一聲,便回到我們身邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">丹普斯見小蕾放過,馬上一溜煙就不見影。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是塔爾林斯卻跟了上來:「請留步。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我拉著小蕾躲到安潔兒身後,安潔兒明白我希望由她出面化解這件事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾站在一旁,完全是一頭霧水,塔爾林斯只對他點頭致意,似乎早有認識。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「塔爾林斯閣下,初次會面你好。」安潔兒作揖行禮。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修特羅里靈術士武裝嗎?妳是……?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「閣下見識廣博,佩服,在下聖女殿前靈術士安潔兒,有禮了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「初次會面,塔爾林斯有禮了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不好意思,造成困擾,隨從護主心切,還請見諒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒事的,是冒名者的錯,侍僕忠心耿耿,在下也能體會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們正在找尋御龍劍士,並非故意挑釁,就此離去,抱歉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等!我也在找御龍劍士,聽說盜匪……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們確定御龍劍士絕非盜匪,還請閣下放心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也是如此認為。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請別急著離開,我對這位小姑娘頗感興趣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾冒出個頭:「我已誓言一輩子都跟著主人,對閣下毫無興趣,再說我們年紀相差太多,還請自重。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯大笑:「誤會了,在下無意捻花惹草,只是對小姑娘的身手很感興趣,我前幾日也見過類似的閃電移位,真是不容小覷。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「我家主人比我更快。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒也笑道:「塔爾林斯請饒過她,女僕對主人極盡忠心,出言不遜請見諒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「呵~我只是想問問小姑娘而已,沒別的意思——怎麼稱呼?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「蕾菲亞娜。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯又看向我:「這位是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「和蕾菲亞娜侍奉同一個主人。」公主身分還是保密比較好。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「蕾菲亞娜小姐剛剛說了,那個丹普斯連女僕都不是對手,是真的嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「沒錯,居然還敢冒用主人名號,不可饒恕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「依妳看,我與御龍劍士誰高誰低?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「閣下剛才有留手嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「至少也有九成,我本以為丹普斯真是御龍劍士,一出手就未留餘地。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「如果只有這樣,絕對是我家主人厲害多了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾!」「蕾菲亞娜小姐!」我和安潔兒都叫了出聲,這回答太過挑釁。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯笑著:「說得真是毫不留情。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「我又沒亂說,與閣下決鬥不需要主人,蕾菲亞娜綽綽有餘。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我摸著頭不敢再看下去,安潔兒輕嘆一口氣,至於冬米爾,已經化為路邊的石頭了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">反倒塔爾林斯興奮了:「蕾菲亞娜小姐,可否懇求一戰?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「閣下慢著,剛剛說她只是護主心切,您可別當真啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我也趕緊緩場:「別啊~我們不想惹麻煩。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「如果小艾這麼說,我可不能接受決鬥。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「拜託,請務必一試,這樣吧!十招就好,無論勝負,絕不多求。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我、安潔兒、小蕾互相看著彼此,沒料到塔爾林斯如此堅持。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我認為塔爾林斯沒那麼簡單放過我們:「十招嗎?小蕾——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯,十招也可以,反正很快就結束。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯喜出望外,馬上走回廣場中央,說實在,我覺得他這時候很像個孩子,難不成他是武癡?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">克羅夫曼王子和小修論劍時,也像個孩子一樣,基本上,我認為他與塔爾林斯是同一類的劍士,對劍術有著狂熱。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廣場上的精靈似乎發覺到靈劍士又有戰鬥,逐漸靠攏過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「真沒辦法,蕾菲亞娜小姐可別太較真啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾,十招搞定我們就走,別弄得滿城風雨。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「懂了,我知道怎麼做。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾放下背包,緩緩走進場中,觀眾們看到靈劍士的對手,居然只是個小魔靈,都頗為訝異。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「蕾菲亞娜小姐~只用單劍?不取出另一支劍嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「雖說主人也有教我雙劍,但是我用一支就夠了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我又嘆了一口氣,天啊!我知道小蕾慣用單劍,她的說法並無惡意,但是聽起來就是會令對方感到被小看了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「那在下不客氣了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「請隨意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯立刻撲上進攻,雙劍同時攻向兩個方位。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾只是一劍,卻幾乎同時擋下對方雙劍的攻勢,而且力道深厚,逼得塔爾林斯大退好幾步,非常明顯,小蕾的龍行速度遠勝塔爾林斯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只是一招,圍觀精靈就激動譁然,小蕾的表現太過意外。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「小女真心奉勸閣下勿再留手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯不但沒有挫意,反而更加興奮:「不錯,真的很不錯,不愧是御龍劍士家僕啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">頓時鬥氣再現,他認真了,與剛剛和假冒劍士比鬥時一樣,看來是準備拿出真本事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾的龍行與狂暴不同,幾乎不帶任何劍氣,看起來就只是個柔弱小魔靈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯提步再攻,小蕾只是雙手握持一支短劍,一招一招的化解,塔爾林斯想欺她只有單劍,雙劍分刺兩個方向不斷猛攻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾的戰術與小修如出一轍,塔爾林斯雖然意圖想用雙劍優勢讓小蕾捉襟見肘,卻因為小蕾快速移位而無法得逞。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯不斷改變進招,小蕾卻只是從容一一拆招。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">突然之間,小蕾迅速退了五六步,收劍行禮。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">太過突然,塔爾林斯反而踉蹌兩步。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「閣下,十招已過,蕾菲亞娜有禮了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是嗎?十招了呀!還真是意猶未盡,小姑娘好滑溜,怎麼碰不著邊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「碰著了也不好,只有主人可以碰我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯一怔,尷尬了,他原本並不是這個意思。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我摀嘴掩住笑意,否則真會笑出聲來,安潔兒指著小蕾不解地看著我,一副就是想問:小修會碰小蕾嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「順帶一問,妳家主人也能用相同的步數嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可以,但是主人不會這麼做,以劍術壓制對手才是他的作風。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈哈~在下明白了,多謝蕾菲亞娜小姐賜教。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯不再戀戰,雙方行禮結束決鬥,畢竟十招是他自己提出來的,就算意猶未盡也只能作罷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒也對塔爾林斯行禮告別,催著冬米爾帶路,趕緊溜之大吉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">遠離西園之後,我們恢復正常談話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「蕾菲亞娜挺開心的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「當然,總算洗涮主人的污名。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「真想不到,蕾菲亞娜小姐居然不輸塔爾林斯閣下,他可是葉布羅最強的劍士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾應該還沒出全力吧!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「小艾有吩咐不能弄得滿城風雨。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「不對啊!妳們在找大河,剛剛又說在找御龍劍士,難道?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是的,大河就是御龍劍士,請幫我們保密。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是畫師給畫錯的,根本就不是御龍劍士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「難怪了,就覺得大河的劍術厲害到不行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「他擔心用劍會傷到對方,所以有時候會空手應敵,用護套代替短劍。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美噘著嘴:「哪有啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞看著女兒有趣的反應,轉而問我:「大河?發生什麼事嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">是有點事,也不是不能說出口,夏美耍賴糊弄,但我不能對她父親隱暪,讓羅都亞有想像空間可不行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是晚餐時被店員誤會是情侶,夏美有點難為情而已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「呃……大河,你沒對夏美做了什麼吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,在下完全沒有逾矩,是夏美挑的餐廳有問題,那裡頭幾乎都是情侶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你們不會是去月河餐館吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來亞叔也知道是月河。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真是的,夏美明明就知道那家餐館是情侶去的啊!居然還會難為情,夏美~妳是故意帶大河去的喔?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美臉更紅了:「才不是,我一直想去一次月河餐館,跟父親去會很奇怪,才想趁著有大河陪,感覺比較不會突兀。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「哈~是妳自己要去,結果又搞得自己很尷尬,大河~怎麼樣,有什麼感想?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……還是妮可夫人的料理比較合味。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「才不是問你這個,我是說氣氛~氣氛怎麼樣?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「氣氛嘛?算是乾淨,椅子也很舒適。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞搖搖頭:「我不是問餐館的……你這木頭,問了也是白問……是不是應該再多留一天呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「總覺得大河就是放不開。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「其實我有點不太舒服。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞居然想多留一天,那可不行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我再遲鈍也能察覺夏美的臉紅心跳似乎越來越頻繁,依照今天的節奏繼續下去,就算我把持的住,夏美也快要動情了,我隨意找個理由搪塞過去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「誒~你怎麼不早說。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「也不是那種休息就好的不舒服,是耳邊經常聽見聲音,模模糊糊的,好像聽到『誓約者』的句字。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「誓約者?會是誓約靈獸的那個誓約者嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不清楚,總覺得有好多謎,幾乎可以肯定的是,絕對有誰一直在找我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「大河曾經說過,家裡好像還有姐姐。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「最近斷斷續續聽到那聲音,今天又更加清楚了些。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「大河別急,說不定再過幾天就能完全聽明白。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「我們發現大河時,頭上流了好多血,不知道會不會是這個影響,回去後,我再陪你到理絲波亞夫人那兒複診。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「工作太辛苦嗎?畢竟遇過大難,回去之後你還是多休息,不管怎麼說,身體最重要。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,工作沒問題,多動一動比較好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「總之不要勉強,有點晚了,早點沐浴就寢,明天趕早出發可不能耽誤。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">天未亮就起床,早起似乎是我的本能,先整理好行李上車,才敲門叫醒羅都亞和夏美,因為時間富裕,又找個空曠處晨練。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們出發到城門口集合,雖說底里多很大,房舍相間卻很疏鬆,居住精靈沒有想像的多,不但城外有許多開墾地,在城裡也有許多的家庭式菜圃,真不愧是農作型城市,正因為城市範圍寬廣,通往葉布羅就有三個城門口,不事先約定好集合的城門口可不行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">城務廳派出六十餘名的衛士隊,帶領者是宏德米斯靈術士,哈瓦夫轉述衛士隊計畫,衛士先行出發直攻盜匪巢穴,此外,會撥出十名衛士護衛我們返回葉布羅,即使遭遇五十名盜匪,擅長劍術與咒術的十名衛士也是綽綽有餘。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在宏德米斯命令下,衛士隊與商隊同時出發,由於衛士隊都是騎馬,比騾車行進要快,沒多久,衛士隊便遠離商隊,先行一步前去肅匪。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不僅是羅都亞,其他騾車全部都是滿載貨品,看來大伙都是同一個心思,想趁著有衛士護送盡量囤貨,領隊哈瓦夫更是載滿價高的蔬菜,他的目的是批售,羅都亞則是自用為主,所以彼此貨項大有不同。</span></span></div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-da04116d-77a3-500f-25fe-715c20d8895d"><span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來到底里多已是中午,我們打算住上一晚,隔天再沿大道往葉布羅城而去。</span></span></span></div>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-da04116d-77a3-500f-25fe-715c20d8895d">
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在入城時,城衛出示尋找小修的告示單,果然尚未更正畫像,所以安潔兒到城務廳進行交涉,同時打聽官方消息,我和小蕾則訪尋城內各個知名地點,梅琳則在城外繞圈,試圖嗅出小修的味道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說訪尋也不過是大海撈針,整個城非常大,市民卻不多,那是因為底里多是有名的農墾城市,雖然開墾區都在城郊,但是城內也有許多農地,幾乎家家都有菜園果園,就因為城大民少,除了城門是石頭堆砌,其他城牆幾乎都是木柵,盜匪想要偷偷潛入交易日常用品,實在不太困難。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們住在城務廳附近,旅館旁邊就是中央公園,市集則在公園正門口前方,這一帶算是城裡最繁華熱鬧的黃金地段。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吃的東西五花八門,而且物價非常便宜,我卻沒什麼心情,食不知味就是這麼回事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾真是擔心,吃飯時也在四處張望。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾也差不多吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不管怎麼說,我們正在一步一步的接近小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「和小修相遇後,就這一次分開最久,他不在身邊我就是定不下心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「比起小修跌落礦坑懸崖的時候,小艾這次表現很堅強。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是有妳和梅琳陪著。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我認為小修會恢復記憶,今天呼喚時,雖然不是很明顯,感覺他能夠聽到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這算是……有進步嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!一定是。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝謝小蕾,妳這麼說我稍為安心了些。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">路旁一位吟遊精靈的輕唱聲,吸引了我的注意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾也有發現:「是罕見的占卜精靈,小艾想試試嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「閒著也是閒著,我想試。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾點點頭,我走近吟遊精靈,才剛坐下他便問起:「找尋?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是的!居然能知道我的目的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吟遊精靈笑道:「不難猜,思念寫在臉上,如此深刻,若非父母就是愛侶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我的羈絆者失蹤了,能指引個方向嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吟遊精靈取出一個『山』型紫色石晶:「小姐請把手沾溼,心中想著羈絆者,再將水滴在石晶尖端。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我依著,把手伸進旁邊的水盤,沾溼後把手放在石晶上方,讓水滴在石晶上,水滴自頂流下,形成了閃亮的軌跡,但是我和小蕾都看不出有什麼意義。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吟遊精靈看了半天,轉動石晶,又再看了半天。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">然後他抬起頭,看了我半天。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「請問我家主人有什麼問題嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吟遊精靈:「不,只是有點好奇,富貴之相,為何穿著如此?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我笑著說:「各有所好,有何奇怪!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吟遊精靈:「罷了!這位小姐,非常抱歉,妳去吧~我不收錢。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「怎麼回事?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吟遊精靈:「唉~就算我指引妳們往西南方找去,也還是會錯過想找尋的對象,說了等於白說,這錢我不敢收。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等,難道你是說我們會找不到?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「並不是,命中註定有此一劫,時候一到,自然就會相見,應該……不會太久。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝謝,至少算是個鼓勵,每次占卜收一枚銅幣對吧?我會給的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吟遊精靈大笑:「小姐誤會了,尊貴臨門令在下蓬蓽生輝,已經值了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾掏出兩枚銅幣放在桌上:「謝謝!讓我家小姐開心,這一點錢也是值了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吟遊精靈:「幸得厚愛,在下就給個忠告——萬一錯過,務必要有耐心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「非常感謝,謹記於心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">起身和小蕾一同離去,吟遊精靈笑著目送我們。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只是玩玩而已,沒想到似乎還有點意思。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾點頭同意:「他知道我們往西南而去,雖然說了和小修會錯過,但似乎又告訴我們不必擔心,反正最後就是會團圓,是這意思吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也是這樣認知。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖然看過不少占卜的吟遊精靈,今天還是第一次覺得好像真有那麼一回事,以前都當他們亂耍一通。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼說呢……姑且先相信吧!反正他說的結果還不錯。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「走,旁邊是公園,進去散散心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">稍為整理心情緒,我們踏入中央公園,從外頭看公園很大,裡頭似乎有點寒酸,畢竟底里多是個樸素的鄉村型城市。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾妳啊!除了小修,其他的都不當一回事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這句話原封不動還給妳,妳最擔心小修在撩惹誰家少女,動搖得好厲害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在里德修拉時,即使知道小修有羈絆者,還是有許多少女會投來愛慕的眼光,小艾在的時候她們會收斂,但是小艾不在時我可就辛苦了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~小蕾可以挽著小修的手啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「才不要,再怎麼說我也做不到那一步。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一般公園夜間都很安靜,但此時卻傳來吵雜的聲音,我和小蕾不明所以,循著光亮之處走去,想看看是怎麼回事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一大群精靈擠在廣場上吆喝,擔心走散的小蕾和我手牽著手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我以前看過,這是賭賽。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不愧是走過五湖四海的靈龍少女,小蕾見識廣博。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「賭賽?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廣場中央是個圍起來的一大圈跑道,有許多看家犬正在衝刺,加油歡呼聲此起彼落。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這在里德修拉看不到,就是付錢買券,寫下你認為會嬴的那個號碼,如果你寫下的號碼跑第一名,就可以得到彩金,押注熱門的那隻嬴面雖大,但是嬴家分到的彩金就少了,如果押注冷門的,一旦嬴了彩金就多得不得了,也有精靈靠此一夕致富。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不太懂啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不懂沒關係。底里多是農作城市,居民平時消遣少,就用這個打發時間,有些精靈不賭,只是純粹來欣賞比賽。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是夜晚的活動嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不一定哦!也有在白天,要看舉辦方的決定,或許一天有五場,從早到晚錯開比賽,好吸引不同族群。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也想帶小修來看看,觀眾心情都好亢奮。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~說不定小修會跟哪個少女跑來看。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「又來了,小蕾總是操心這種事,小修不可能再締結靈線啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是那個,我擔心他會多個女僕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誒——哈哈~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我噗地笑出來,小蕾醋勁大,還執著在奇怪的點上,想想也沒錯,她是高傲的誓約靈龍,希望主人只屬於她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳又笑我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我在她耳邊輕語:「小蕾真的有五百歲嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾只是紅著臉表達她的尷尬。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不是不擔心,只是沒有小蕾誇張,愛才憐弱最易招惹戀心,小修就是如此。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後,我和小蕾都不太適應,便遠離喧鬧的賭賽,走到稍微安靜的角落散步。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">回到旅館,彼此交換情報,梅琳完全沒查覺到小修氣味,安潔兒也沒有新的官方訊息。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最重要的,安潔兒想讓城務廳撤換告示牌上小修的畫像,卻沒能成功,因為官方更改佈告必須由負責的城務廳發出通知,也就是只有金盾才有修改的權利。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">想一想也沒錯,如果靠一個外國精靈的一張圖和口頭幾句,就擅自變更由王都下達的搜尋告示,事理上確實站不住腳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">第二天一大早,小蕾搖著睡眼惺忪的我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾~醒醒!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「早呀……是小蕾……有事嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「安潔兒閣下說找到小修的下落啦!妳要繼續睡,還是要起床?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">腦袋剎那清醒,我跳了起來:「找到了?現在可不是睡覺的時候。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我立刻更衣,也懶得梳洗,要不是小蕾堅持整理儀容,我早就衝出去了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">帶著梅琳,我和小蕾來到安潔兒的房間,裡頭還有一位制服衛士,看他的樣子彷彿一夜未睡,精神萎靡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「公主!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修現在在哪?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別急啊!先聽我說——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來是修特羅里使館派來的傳令衛士,拿茲搜索隊在卡里克村打探到,數個村民發現過路商隊裡,有類似小修外貌的車伕,多虧有新的畫像,才得以被認出來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">後來搜索隊擴大調查,追問到附近有位狩獵精靈曾經收留過這個商隊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">現在,搜索隊正在剛果山腳,試圖找出這名狩獵精靈的住所。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「駐使給我一封信,說目擊者相當多,消息十分可靠,商隊往來於金盾和葉布羅,小修非常有可能就在這兩個城市裡。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">修特羅里真不愧是大國,在情報搜集與傳遞的速度,魯迪因德都無法比擬。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾相視而笑,「金盾和葉布羅嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「本來打算今天前往葉布羅,只不過,在下想趁中午之前趕到卡里克村,親自會見那位狩獵精靈,公主有何打算?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們點頭贊同,騾車好慢,安潔兒的提議太棒了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">能和小修畫像特徵相似的精靈,幾乎可以肯定就是小修本人,我和小蕾總算鬆了一大口氣,半個月來的追尋,這真是莫大的鼓舞。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞擔心小混混上門搔擾,這次臨時僱請代班的是兩位高大男性精靈,以往,他總是以客為尊僱請年輕女性。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">行程很簡單,第一天到底里多城,第二天排隊批貨,第三天趕回葉布羅,一天就要往來兩個大城對騾車有點勉強,因為風險考量,羅都亞與其他商隊都不願野宿。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我起身對他鞠躬致謝,冬米爾君做的好,夏美就會喜歡這個,羅都亞說是巧合,我想應該是冬米爾的故意安排,美中不足是他對我們同時道別,要是他能再多點勇氣,特別針對夏美單獨道別就好了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我又納悶了,怎麼自己對這種男女之事很有經驗的樣子?莫非自己真的有羈絆者或是交往中的女性嗎?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">出了北城門,與其他四輛騾車會合,總計十四位精靈,抽籤決定我們是最後一輛。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我主動跳上車伕座,畢竟最為資淺,負責駕車很合理。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是,夏美砰地也跳上車伕座。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「累了我自然會去睡,但是現在我精神很好,還可以和你交換駕車。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞在後頭噘嘴喊著:「夏美變心啦!居然不陪我,果然還是年輕的最好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美丟了一個餐盒過去:「就愛亂說話,所以我才不想陪你,還有,父親可不能打瞌睡,我們負責警戒後方。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">前方傳來三聲短促笛音,通知車隊出發。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒多久,車隊經過葉布羅大橋,過橋是要收費的,這座大橋很不一般,兩側是高塔,橋面有許多活動纜繩拉著,能夠操作升降,底下是蘿納塞大河。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">對人類而言真是古老的設計,精靈歷史悠久許多,文明科技卻差上一大截,工業革命是人類進步的至要決定關鍵,但是相對的,精靈的生活遠比人類悠哉許多。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這橋可以拉起來,下方水閘也可以打開,好讓輪船通過。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「橋面可以拉起來我懂,但為什麼要有水閘?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美解釋著,原來從這裡引出兩條渠道,一條貫通葉布羅城,提供居民用水,另外一條則供給開墾地灌溉使用,水閘使得水位增高,河水順利引入渠道,而且還有調節河道水位的功能。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈的開墾地不會離城市太遠,可以受到衛士營保護。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞叫道:「沒錯,我們家也有個大河,真的挺方便的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來亞叔是想圖個方便,才叫我大河呀!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美笑嘻嘻的:「沒這回事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一路上我以索敵術警戒,萬一真遇上了,騾子速度慢,想逃走就只得拋棄騾車,不管有沒有載貨,都是一大損失。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">又過沒多久,來到一處三叉路口,右邊往東的大道通往卡里克村,上回亞叔救我之後,就是走這條大道來到葉布羅,左邊往北的大道,則是通往今天的目的地——底里多城。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">通緝盜匪難以進入有精靈樹的城市,無法補充足夠靈力與練習咒術,如果只靠體力與武器,幾無可能與衛士或巡守隊抗衡,也會儘量避開有能力僱請護衛的商隊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「最近車隊很少,要不就是有護衛隨行,像這種軟杮子很難得啊!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">墮落也沒辦法,原本根據地突然擠滿許多搜查衛士,盜匪們被逼得轉移陣地,來到陌生地區正在努力適應當中。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">心生怨念的女性,不太可能成為羈絆者,幾乎會淪為家奴或黑市轉賣的奴隸,盜匪通常不願擄女為奴,對精靈而言這是極惡劣犯罪行為,四方追剿就夠他們難受,而且轉賣黑市也沒那麼簡單,買賣管道隨時都在變化。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原本周旋在葉布羅與底里多之間有南北兩個盜匪集團,但是今年衛士隊追剿勤快,北方集團首領被逮,餘孽投奔南方集團合而為一,以薩格隆兄弟為首,陣容更大,吃飯的弟兄一多能下手的目標又減少,迫不得已,只好到風險高的大道上找尋目標。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薩格隆腦筋簡單,卻是天生的勇壯武者,也是罕見能用狂暴術的盜匪,狂暴上身有掀翻馬車的力量,曾經在底里多單挑靈劍士,敗北後知道自己實力差上一截,因為腦筋不靈光,有劍士或護衛需求的僱主都對他沒興趣,肚子餓著久而久之便淪為盜匪。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瘦高的泰瑪剛好相反,個性好高騖遠,佩劍只是裝飾,但卻十分聰明能獻計納策,有弟弟作為參謀,哥哥薩格隆才得以穩居首領之位。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使泰瑪對姑娘有興趣,但也很識時務,買賣奴隸耗時間,他們最急迫需要的是填飽肚子,實實在在的貨物才是最佳選擇。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">泰瑪指著一名盜匪:「阿達~你面生,方便混進城裡,去跟蹤車隊然後打探成員實力,在他們離城前回報,懂嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我?」剛加入沒多久的阿達,原本是西方王國的旅行精靈,來到拿茲後一直找不著工作,因為年輕得不到救濟,逼不得已淪為盜匪。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「明白,交給我吧!」阿達也想多做點貢獻,好在瓜分時能多拿一些戰利品,又是新手又還未跟著行搶,被分到的物資讓他總是處在飢餓狀態。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">性急的薩格隆只是嘴上抱怨,但還是依著擬定的計畫行事,他明白泰瑪說的都是正確的,畢竟盜匪這一行風險很高,不但有官方追緝,還有同行黑吃黑,萬一不慎還會被同伴出賣取代,因為有泰瑪的謹慎和鬼點子,兩兄弟才能走到今天。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">親身走在葉布羅到底里多的大道上,我才明白為什麼大道上也有被搶劫的風險,因為這條大道幾乎是兩側傍山,途中也沒有中繼站,被夾擊就難以脫逃,路線雖然平坦好走,卻常有大彎折,無法被長距離鷹眼監視的死角很多,底里多又不算大城,因此被分配的巡邏衛士很有限。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這是基本行車禮儀常識。馬車速度快,騾車慢,如果只是一般行進速度就沒有必要特別遠離,但是若要保持奔馳,騾兒可能受到快馬驚嚇而失控,要求動作慢的騾兒讓路也不合理,而是該由速度快的馬車先行迴避。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">關上小窗後,安潔兒說:「呵~是我太緊張,還以為盜匪出現了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾拉開面向大道的車邊窗簾,看著商隊說:「說不定小修閣下會在商隊裡頭哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這麼一說,我和梅琳立刻擠到窗戶旁,和小蕾一起注視著商隊,車上有安潔兒,小蕾不方便用風咒探查,馬車太快,梅琳的嗅覺也不管用。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒笑道:「也好,希望就此找到修閣下,任務圓滿完成。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們專心在商隊上頭,共有五輛騾車,十幾位精靈,三雙眼睛左顧右盼,就是沒有小修的身影,雖然商隊大部分都穿連帽斗篷,但是小修體格特別,不難辨視。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「都是男的,卻沒有一個是小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾搖搖頭:「不,第一輛騾車內那個是中年婦女,最後一輛駕車的是年輕少女。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哇~小蕾看得真仔細,以前不是小修都是直接忽略。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「因為昨天才被說可能會錯過,我很在意就瞧仔細些。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那個占卜吟遊精靈確實是這麼說,不可否認,我也挺在意的,再次審視車隊:「怎麼看都沒有小修的身影。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">連梅琳都搖著頭,我想不可能會這裡錯過,因為這商隊很單純,全都是運輸農作的露天平板騾車,完全沒有躲藏空間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">望著商隊遠去,小蕾又叫道:「後邊還有一個步行精靈,就不怕遇上盜匪嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「連包包都沒有,盜匪不會有興趣吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒說:「不敢說是否有興趣,但是,這大道上最具威脅的是『盜匪集團』,集團會挑選獵物,搶個包包都沒帶的精靈,塞牙縫都不夠。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">馬車不停快跑,步行精靈也離我們越來越遠,小蕾不甘心地放下窗簾,各自坐回原位。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">快速馬車漸漸回到大道,車伕又開始加速行進。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">若無意外和停留,車伕預估中午過後不久就能趕到卡里克村。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我好好地躲藏在樹上,等待跟蹤商隊的年輕精靈接近。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">嗒啦嗒啦的馬啼聲傳來,一輛快速馬車在大道外側奔馳,四匹馬的快速馬車不太需要擔心盜匪,因為盜匪在追到之前,自己大概會先累垮吧!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">馬車內似乎有精靈在窗口眺望風景,大概是某某豪門大小姐,還帶著寵物真是悠閒,一般百姓買不起快速馬車,用租的也相當昂貴,載貨量又不大。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈也停下關注馬車,他大概擔心對方是靈級士之類的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">馬車又從大道外側漸漸駛入大道之內,然後加速遠離,消失在我的視野裡,年輕精靈這才又起步朝商隊跑去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在他經過我藏身的大樹下時,我發動狂暴一躍而下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大概是嚇著了他,年輕精靈姿勢一蹲就拔出短劍瞪著我,順帶一說,他瘦弱的身材實在不配兇狠的臉相,況且持劍的手還一直顫抖著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂~報上你的名字!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不告訴你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說得乾脆,這種態度大概不會給我想要的答案,決定換個說話方式。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別這樣,那車隊是我盯上的,回去告訴你老大,不准插手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們大哥才不會答應,誒——原來你也是看上了那車隊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你果然就是盜匪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">驚覺被套出身分,年輕精靈轉身就想逃跑,我憑恃狂暴加持大喝一聲衝上去,年輕精靈見我來得急又沒拿短劍,大起膽子揮劍回刺而來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他的動作好慢,我用左手臂格擋他的短劍,哐噹金屬聲——是護套與短劍的交擊聲,驚呼聲中,年輕精靈的短劍已被我震落,一招得手反而令我意外。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——這也太簡單了吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我沒空細想,既然是盜匪,先賞個一拳再說。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">右手揮出,以手臂護套擊中對方胸膛,我再次意外,對方連格擋都沒有。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈哇地倒飛出去,預料會痛得打滾——並未發生,他竟然是直接昏迷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我望著護套呆了半响,反省著下次要好好注意力道,有狂暴加持一不小心會玩命的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當是自作自受,我扛著昏迷的年輕精靈追上騾車商隊,領隊哈瓦夫見到我,也過來我們騾車上,但是車隊並未停下依舊趕往目的地。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫打量著:「好瘦弱,他真的是盜匪嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我故意套話,果然我們車隊就是他的目標,而且還說上頭有位大哥,他身上什麼都沒帶,就只是一把短劍,旅行總得會帶上個包吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「大河真聰明,現在怎處理他?居然打昏了,他不會死吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,我不知道他那麼弱,才一拳就變成這樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫拿出嗅盒,是駕車常用的提神香精,氣味強烈,嗅盒在年輕精靈鼻頭晃啊晃的,他逐漸甦醒,手腳已被綁住跑不了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂~你叫什麼名字?」哈瓦夫問著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我也曾經這樣問過,他不肯說,這次更惡劣,直接別過頭不予理會。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫:「無所謂,小哥~麻煩你再打昏他,直接交給衛士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我作狀出手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈緊張了,回過頭說:「想交給衛士就交呀!為什麼又要打我?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫:「既然你什麼都不說,醒著我又怕你搞怪,還不如直接打昏安全點。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈:「我說~我說~那傢伙出拳好重,不小心會死的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">有牢記鐵臂的教訓,真有點不好意思,剛剛出手確實重了點,但是我沒有必要對一個盜匪道歉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫:「名字?幾歲?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈:「我叫阿達……六十三歲。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫:「你們首領——不,你們大哥叫什麼名字?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿達不語,猶豫著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫:「你跟大哥感情很不錯嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿達:「怎麼可能,我才加入不久,大家還偷偷私下叫大哥豬頭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">被叫豬頭還能成為首領,我們都覺得不可思議。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫:「這樣吧!我們做個交易,我問你回答,滿意了就放你走,要是隱暪或欺騙,就只好在進城時把你交給城衛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿達:「真的可以放我?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫:「當然,向城衛解釋也很麻煩,你肯說嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿達:「好~好~我全說了,大哥是薩格隆,二哥是泰瑪,他們是兄弟檔。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫:「那你們有幾個精靈?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿達:「出門的含我在內有卅七個,山寨裡還有十八個。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">先不提留守的,明顯比我們多上一倍,這下子羅都亞和哈瓦夫都動搖了,因為出發之前,打聽到的盜匪集團都是十幾名,所以我們才會湊齊五輛車十幾名精靈,認定勢均力敵盜匪就不敢隨便出手。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿達:「他自己是這樣講的,真的假的我不知道,我投靠盜匪才三天,很多事不太清楚,大哥每次出手還要戴假髮,個性真奇怪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫:「畢竟是盜匪,改名換姓也不是不可能,盯上我們有計畫在哪裡下手嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他說話態度不像說謊,感覺上個性還挺老實的,唯一的敗筆就是一張老鼠臉,是巡守隊最愛盤查的對象。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美一聽回過頭有點生氣,羅都亞則是重重敲了一下阿達的頭。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">比我高大真罕見,闊劍靈巧不足,通常是以重擊為目的,不使用狂暴就難以揮舞。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哈瓦夫盯著阿達上下打量:「看你說話還挺老實的,也不做作,幹嘛好事不做跑去做盜匪啊?遲早會被抓的,不是砍頭就是砍手砍腳。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒告知搜索隊來意後,衛士引導我們到三千步距外一處獨立屋舍,二度碰上在新梅堡村遇到的搜索隊長,安潔兒行禮招呼,隊長雖然驚訝,但還不至於拒絕她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">事實上,歷經半個多月忙碌奔波,搜索隊也疲乏了,隊長明白王城不可能放棄這位修閣下,也很希望快點結案,有越多幫忙他越是歡迎。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾乖乖跟在安潔兒後面,在拿茲衛士前,『詠月公主』的身分不能洩露,梅琳在到達卡里克村之前就先行下車,在村莊外頭搜索小修氣味。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們等了將近三炷時間,狩獵精靈才被衛士給『請』回家,看到十幾個武裝精靈擠在家裡頗為吃驚,背上布袋鬆垮垮的,顯然是打獵到一半就被衛士給帶回來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隊長示意他坐下,介紹彼此和說明來訪目的,並取出小修的圖像給他參考,原來狩獵精靈的名字叫做蒙巴。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是個經商精靈,叫做羅都亞,經常往來金盾和藍之湖,經過卡里克村也會過來和我交易,一、兩個月大概會有一次,我都叫他亞叔。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「平時亞叔不會住下,為了照顧這位小哥……這位閣下住了三天,很奇怪的是閣下跟著亞叔離開時,卻是毫髮無傷,不知道是怎麼治好的,附近村子也沒有誰會用療癒術。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾手牽手,相視點頭而笑,是小蕾分擔小修的傷害,當我治好小蕾,小修也跟著痊癒,幸好他們締結了誓約。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是安潔兒並不知情,問說:「閣下真的是重傷嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒納悶地回頭問我:「修閣下會療癒術?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「完全不會,但是他……身體異常強壯,可以問問下落嗎?」我糊弄回答著,締結誓約這回事可不行隨便出口。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隊長:「失憶就難怪了,是叫『大河』嗎?請問那位亞叔又是住哪裡?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙巴:「在葉布羅,地方我不清楚,他還有一位妻子,這次和他一起旅行的,一個是女兒夏美,另一個是小兒子,本名我不清楚,只管叫他小文,他們一家都是銀髮,很容易認的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「葉布羅可大了,大海撈針呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隊長:「花點時間總能找著,只希望失憶的修閣下別亂跑。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「隊長~我和隨從們先去葉布羅,沿路的小村落搜查就拜託了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我心底也贊同,小修不太可能會住在沿途的小村落,我們直接到葉布羅才是明智之舉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隊長:「在下會商請葉布羅巡守隊協助調查,至少我們有了名字,算是一大進展。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我用心語術交代,小蕾取出三枚銀幣交給狩獵精靈:「多謝照顧修閣下,這點小禮還請收下,如果再次看見修閣下,請務必通知巡守隊或衛士營。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">狩獵精靈喜出望外,沒想到一件舊衣能換到三枚銀幣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隊長派了一名衛士快馬趕到葉布羅通知巡守隊,並重新調度搜索衛士,把主力鎖定在葉布羅一帶。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們馬車一出村子,梅琳就乘隙跳上來,坐在小蕾身邊,她應該有嗅到小修的味道,和小蕾私下交換意見。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「總算有點眉目,公主放心,一定會找到修閣下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「失憶了很麻煩,見面也不知道是否記得我們。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「糟~閣下不會忘記聖女大人吧?這下慘了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾都有靈線羈絆,大不了就是重新培養感情,聖女和小修的伴侶關係,說白了只能憑藉記憶,如果小修那一點點好感都消失了,可以想見聖女受到的打擊會有多大。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「走一步是一步,總之,先找到小修再說。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「說不定主人一見到公主就會全部想起來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">快速馬車走過葉布羅大橋,來到北城門口時,已經是落日時分。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是我和小蕾都非常興奮,在經過大橋之前,梅琳下車四處聞嗅,並用心語術說,確認有小修的味道,而且非常新鮮。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這表示小修很有可能就在城裡頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒嘆了一口氣:「拜託!公主大人和蕾菲亞娜小姐都克制一點,太興奮了,城衛會當我們都是可疑分子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我笑瞇瞇地:「說不定馬上就能見到小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾突然表情又變:「糟糕,我還沒想好,見面第一句話該對主人說什麼呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒噗了一聲笑出來:「真拿妳們主僕沒辦法!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迅速通過城門,因為沒有既定目的地,便朝著城務廳前進,葉布羅沒有修特羅里和魯迪因德的辦事處,城務廳目前也非勤務時間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「先找個地方落腳,剛剛進城時,搜索隊衛士正在與城衛溝通,相信修閣下的畫像馬上就能改回來,所以只要修閣下出城,城衛就會先攔住,只不過要等到明早城務廳開門,才有辦法尋找那位『羅都亞』一家子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是,我想晚上出去逛逛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「別以為在下不知道,公主又想出門碰碰運氣?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「反正閒著也沒事啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「閣下請放心,小蕾會負責保護公主。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「不,我沒想阻止,但是,至少先找到落腳的旅館再出門吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「要不就住城務廳附近,明天辦事也方便。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「還有,可別太晚回來,城裡雖然安全,再怎麼說也還是公主貴體,在下還是會擔心的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「明白!不會待太晚的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯似乎滿意了,認為再打下去就太失禮,講了幾句客套話,便讓劍士們稍作休息。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廳內彼此私下交耳,我和達拉斯走到廳外,冬米爾、夏美和南芙梅絲也跟了上來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「教官大人對吧?我說大河肯定會用劍術。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「沒錯,最後一擊不但沒有猶豫,而且熟練得能做出變化,絕非心靈福至就想到的,別說是魯迪,就算是我也莫敢攖其鋒,明顯與大河自身的力量與速度配合得恰到好處,這劍路有名字嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「即使教官大人這麼說……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「大河沒說謊,他真的失去記憶,連家眷都一直找不著。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「教官大人見識廣博,也看不出師出何門?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「非常抱歉,完全看不出師承何處,但是我能肯定,大開大闔,絕對不是打架可以練就出來的,我這麼說吧~大河的實力不比靈劍士差。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「難怪塔爾林斯閣下會想和大河較量。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「塔爾林斯嗎?呵~連他都……大河君,被閣下糾纏不容易脫身啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也不想糾纏不休,只想趕緊找到家眷,好好過著平常日子而已,我有點擔心自己會不會是盜匪出身。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">會這樣想也是不得已,如果我這麼厲害,又沒誰能看出打從哪裡來的,恐怕不能完全否認是來自盜匪集團。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「沒聽說過有這麼厲害的盜匪啦!或許大河是來自某個離世隱居的小村落,劍法自成一格也就說的通。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我大嘆一口氣:「離世隱居嗎?想找到回家的路就更困難了,只能等記憶恢復嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「大河有想到城務廳工作嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,我只想待在旅館,一邊工作一邊找尋家眷。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「那好吧!雖然可惜,但是你失去了記憶,勉強也不太好。以後常來玩玩,說不定多比幾次劍,不知不覺就能回想起一些事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「對啊!剛剛大河就用上了劍法。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這我能答應,那麼我們先回餐館,已經翹班好一陣子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">與達拉斯和冬米爾互相道別後,我和夏美、南芙梅絲踏上歸途。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是呢!這次南芙梅絲不是走在中間,而是我被她們夾著,左邊問一句,右邊問一句,說實在的,除了喜歡吃的東西以外,其他的我全部回答不出來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">腦中再次響起模糊的話語,確實是女性聲音,印象中依稀記得有個姐姐,會是她嗎?即使是治療師理絲波亞都沒辦法解釋,如果詢問其他精靈,大概會被說是我腦袋有問題,目前我唯一能做的事,就只有等待——等待著記憶恢復。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">離開新梅堡村之後,我和小蕾、梅琳、安潔兒來到拿茲王都金盾,我和小蕾扮作安潔兒的隨從,先到修特羅里使館,安潔兒向大使遞上聖女的命令書,事實上,使館尚未接到命令書之前,早就動員搜索小修下落,畢竟是聖女伴侶,駐使不可能置身事外。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">和安潔兒約定在旅館會合後,我和小蕾便轉往魯迪因德使館,出發找尋小修之前,我想儘可能打聽清楚目前狀況。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">現在,我和小蕾就在使館的會客室裡等待。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒多久,我想見的精靈出現了,駐使遣開了衛士,我們彼此打過招呼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「海莫拉利駐使,維特拉芙美閣下,不好意思,還麻煩你們百忙之中趕回來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「公主客氣,王子殿下有密令,務必優先協助公主。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">維特拉芙:「坐下談吧!公主只帶著誓約靈獸和女僕?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們喬裝暗中訪裝,陣仗不宜過大,而且有她們保護足夠了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">維特拉芙:「為了找尋修閣下,迪里特爵也來了,他目前在金盾、底里多兩城之間搜尋,在下的任務是每天前往城務廳和王城。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「城務廳和王城嗎?拿茲大概會覺得閣下很煩。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈~這是一定要的,不給點壓力,也不知道拿茲會不會偷懶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有什麼消息嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「河岸搜索隊就別提了,各村落、城市的報告書都沒有修閣下消息。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「請問駐使大人與維特拉芙閣下有見過搜尋修閣下的告示單嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他們兩個都搖頭否認,也對小蕾提出的問題感到驚訝。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">維特拉芙美:「告示單有什麼問題嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘆了口氣,拿出自己重繪的畫像和那張告示單遞給他們看。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「太離譜了,搜索隊怎麼可能找得到修閣下,完全不像啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">維特拉芙美:「到底是哪個白吃畫的,白費了搜索功夫。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">告示單上是正統的精靈模樣,但是小修是人類,許多細節與精靈有所差異,畫師應該見過小修真正的畫像,只不過私自以為那是畫錯的,才會重新描摹精靈長相的小修,並經由官方發佈給各單位。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「海莫拉利卿,可以麻煩你設法修正嗎?小修的畫像就交給你了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「在下會立刻聯繫城務廳訂正告示單。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「感謝,另外還有件事,小修可能失憶了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">維特拉芙美:「失憶?怎麼知道的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒道理小修不來找我們,其中一個猜測就是他失去了記憶,不知道自己是誰。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">維特拉芙美:「若是如此,要找修閣下是難上加難。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我有聽到傳聞,小修成了盜匪,你們知道這件事嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">維特拉芙美:「有哦!城務廳提供過這條線索,但是都沒在意,我們認為是假的,因為……因為……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「因為他們說長相與閣下不同,真抱歉,我們都忽略了,沒去確認細節。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">維特拉芙美:「對公主真的非常抱歉,因為在下怎麼都不願相信修閣下會成了盜匪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「算了,連我自己也不相信吶!但是我聽到傳言說那個盜匪是黑髮圓耳,這令我很在意,這個長相的確就是小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">維特拉芙美:「公主~迪里特爵就是為了這件事才上路調查的,他說就算是假冒的,也絕不容許盜匪利用修閣下的名號。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「海莫拉利卿~可以麻煩你調查這個線索嗎?我需要完整訊息。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「當然。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「報告麻煩送到我住的旅館,最好是今天之內,明早我要離開金盾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「好的,公主不住使館嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不了,我現在是隱姓埋名,不想給拿茲知道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">維特拉芙美笑道:「要是拿茲知道公主在這裡,大概會瘋了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「與我同行的還有聖女特使——靈術士安潔兒閣下,普通盜匪我們還能應付。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「聖女也很在意這件事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修失憶的事就別說出去了,我擔心會有更多精靈想冒充他。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「請容在下大膽猜測,如果修閣下失憶,就有可能真的成了盜匪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒錯,我有考慮到這一點,如果真是那樣,在小修鑄下大錯之前,必須把他給帶回來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">海莫拉利:「明白。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">維特拉芙美:「年初才授得封位,無論是談吐、思考、行動,完全就是個公主,況且年紀還只是小精靈,修閣下優秀,公主也不遑多讓。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">該怎麼解釋?我本來就是公主,一直以來都受著這般的養成教育。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「總之,還請你們多費心,把小修找回來,萬事拜託了!」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">回到旅館休息,一直到晚上,海莫拉利派了侍僕送信過來,是相關盜匪的資料,因為早有說明,我是扮裝行走,不方便他親自過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我讓安潔兒過來一起交換情報。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「公主和女僕一間?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有什麼關係?我和小蕾也是妳的隨從啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾也說:「這樣我也容易保護公主。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好吧!妳們倆感情真好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒看過資料後,大致整理一下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">被『御龍劍士』之名襲擊的商旅共有五隊,手法都差不多,每次大約有廿~卅名的盜匪,被襲的商旅都在十五名精靈以下,彼此在精靈數的差異下,盜匪又亮出『御龍劍士』名號,所以商旅都不敢反抗,乖乖奉上貨品,幸好未造成傷亡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">資料裡頭都是寫『假御龍劍士』,也就是城務廳一開始就不認為是真的御龍劍士,而且且外觀描述都與新梅堡村狩獵精靈的形容差不多,藍裝、黑斗篷、蒙面黑髮,但是並沒有出手戰鬥的紀錄。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「這五個遇襲地點都圍繞著剛果山脈周邊。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「三處在大道上,有兩處是野宿遇襲。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">金盾、葉布羅和底里多的位置,相當於正三角形的三個頂點,三角形中央就是剛果山脈,各個城市都有大道可供往來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">金盾到底里多有一處遇襲地點,葉布羅到底里多則有四處。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「金盾到葉布羅似乎比較安全。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「傻瓜才會在金盾到葉布羅的大道上搶劫,別忘了,那大道沿著蘿納塞大河,有不少搜索衛士,隨便招呼就有好幾十個衛士,盜匪才不會冒這種風險。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此,一般來說大道上有巡邏衛士,盜匪不是都會儘量避開嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「我問過了,入春之後因為糧食短缺,盜匪劫掠更加嚴重,商隊減少又集中在安全路線,在大道上出手,恐怕是不得不的選擇。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「卅餘名……我們加上梅琳應該是綽綽有餘。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~公主有所不知,空空的平板車,遠遠看就知道沒有載貨,盜匪才看不上眼,換成篷車就看不到裡頭,況且篷車坐起來也舒服些,至少不怕風吹雨打。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迪里特在劍術決鬥中輸給小修,忿而抓沙偷襲,早初我的確很討厭他,但是在精靈王祭典時,小修告訴我,已經與迪里特和解還成了朋友。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是啦!他自尊心很高,肯定不願像我們這樣扮裝,穿著靈劍士武裝跟我們身邊,盜匪怎麼可能敢出現?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為我是小修妻子,又有公主身分,以精靈禮儀來說,不宜與其他男性共車,規則並非絕對,即使有小蕾陪同,我也不喜歡這樣,最好還是避開以免閒話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">而且,小蕾不像我可以對迪里特寬容以待,曾經傷害過小修,固執又好惡分明的小蕾大概不會給他好臉色看。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我幾乎天未亮就起床,這天我打開順風大門,冬米爾已經等在門外。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河,早安!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「冬米爾君早,沒想到你真的來了,而且居然這麼早。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">昨天離開城務廳時,冬米爾纏著要求我教他劍術,我當然回絕了,並不是不想教,而是對完整劍路我一點印象都沒有,全都是臨場發揮,跟著感覺揮劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾明理,只要求實戰對練,這個倒是無所謂,但是我也明說有工作在身,如果想對練就一大清早在旅館大門附近。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">城務廳到順風旅館有好一段路,冬米爾竟然能早起趕來,我也無話可說。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「來,這兩把短劍先借給大河。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雙劍嗎?應該可以。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">與小混混們決鬥時,我拿的也是雙短劍,用起來不會不順手,我似乎更加喜歡長劍,既單純又最能配合力道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河,對練不用狂暴行嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然可以,我也覺得這樣比較好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">接過雙劍才發現是木劍,這樣也好,我們沒有治療師,受傷可無法立刻療癒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使沒用上狂暴術,我的力量與速度也都比一般精靈強,靠著靈活的反射神經,就算沒有明確的劍路記憶,仍能與冬米爾的正規劍術拼個不相上下,說明白點就是見招拆招。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大約廿分鐘之後,我和冬米爾都是汗流浹背。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾小喘著氣:「真過分,長劍厲害,雙劍也厲害,大河真博學。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我靦覥笑道:「可我也嬴不了冬米爾君。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河如果恢復記憶,在葉布羅肯定可以成為靈劍士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~到時候你就離夏美越來越遠了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「算了,再怎說都只是我單方面愛慕,大河你加油。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——心中小驚,難道冬米爾懦弱到想打退堂鼓?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「早說過至少等個十年,我一直都把夏美當成姐姐看待。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「姐姐?你年紀看起來比夏美大吧?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「長相是這樣沒錯,但我說的是一種感覺——夏美來了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾回頭一看,果然是夏美來到了大廳,彼此互道早安。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「你們感情真好,一大早就在打架。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「不懂別亂說,是練劍啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「男生就愛玩這個——冬米爾君,恭喜你啊!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「呃……恭喜啥?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「大河說你有喜歡的女孩,是誰啊?介紹認識一下嘛,一直不說真小氣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾臉紅通通的不發一語,夏美則消遣說:「果然有!」,笑瞇瞇等著回答。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾硬是不說,我實在看不下去,小小推一吧!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">還沒說出來,我就被冬米爾推開:「別……不准說。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美納悶著:「有那麼嚴重嗎?——我知道了,一定還在相互評估,沒有正式交往,所以才不想說,對嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「我也沒那麼愛打聽啦!只是你肯告訴大河卻不讓我知道——啊!我懂了,一定是我也認識的女孩才不敢說,是梅娟?還是菲爾坦呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美應了一聲便進去廚房,怯懦的冬米爾額冒冷汗。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——真沒辦法!不過,我的立場也沒辦法多說什麼,或許夏美也有自己的看法,她並不是非冬米爾不可。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">腦袋裡又傳來呼喚,究竟是誰的聲音?我最近問了幾個認識的精靈,除了心語術,都沒聽說過有其他方法能傳遞聲音,莫非是幻聽?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">打掃完所有空房,我換上接待服裝回到大廳,薇薇兒很乾脆地把櫃台交給我,這似乎成了例行工作。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「多虧大河我才有時間休息,還能抽空上街走走。」薇薇兒笑著說道。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「能交給你嗎?帳常常都是短收,完全不能放心,大河算數可靠多了。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒問題,只是回來才半個月又要出遠門,夫人不會生氣嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不會的,應該要說我不去她才會生氣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">誒?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「麥子已經快見底了,官倉也是所剩無幾,不但價格漲得兇,配給數量也不夠用,離春耕收成還好一陣子,等不及了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不意外,之前在夜市時,夏美和南芙梅絲就有提起這件事,在葉布羅住了半個多月,我也大概了解到,蘿納塞大河兩岸是富沃之地,農墾地廣大,因為去年秋耕降雨減少,造成麥作欠收,而較北邊的底里多受惠於山泉充沛,收成不減反增。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">然而因欠收而無以為生者,有小部分未被照顧到而淪為盜匪,使得攔路搶劫更加猖獗。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聽說到底里多的的大道上有盜匪出沒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒錯!所以這次我和朋友一起上路,五輛騾車十幾個精靈,盜匪應該不敢找上我們,而且城務廳已經派靈劍士去剿匪,就算不成功,盜匪應該也會收歛一點。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看來羅都亞深思熟慮,選在這個時間點結隊上路,把風險降到最低。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「靈劍士剿匪的事我聽說了,是塔爾林斯閣下領隊,不過,聽說盜匪首領是那個有名的『御龍劍士』,能不能成功就不曉得了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「塔爾林斯是葉布羅最強靈劍士,加上衛士隊應該沒問題吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~亞叔幹嘛用疑問句啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒辦法,畢竟傳言是殺龍勇士,好好一個靈劍士跑去當盜匪,真是莫名其妙。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誰都會有自己的隱情,大概吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這隱情也大了,是公主的羈絆者,又是聖女的伴侶,要是我,日子過得多舒服啊!真羨慕~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂!你膽子大了,想嫌棄我嗎?心眼真不小,想要公主又想要聖女。」冷冷說著的,是剛換好衣服下樓的薇薇兒,羅都亞背對樓梯沒能看到。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「不,不,那是誤會啊!我不是那個意思——大河,你看到薇薇兒也不跟我說一聲,真冷血。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我搔搔頭:「亞叔講到興頭上,不忍心打斷。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「回來再和你算這筆帳,我走了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夫人慢走。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見到羈絆者不悅,羅都亞亦趨亦步陪笑直到薇薇兒出了大門,夫妻之間的小吵小鬧,不礙事的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「總之啊!大河,等到找齊車隊成員就出發,一路上就拜託你保護夏美。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美也去?她留在家比較安全吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我去批購麥子,她要負責批購蔬果,別看她這樣,蔬果好壞夏美最會分辨了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">似乎是這樣,據說排隊就要大半天,而且隔天才能憑單出倉取貨,羅都亞似乎沒有自由時間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「葉布羅不缺蔬果吧?而且選好壞我們應該也行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是選好壞就行,大河不懂竅門,跟在夏美身邊好好學,終生受用啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">其他商務交涉,我的確是一點辦法都沒有。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「亞叔別說得我好像以後都會做這一行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~我也不是什麼都沒在想,說不定,餐館以後就交給你和夏美了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「亞叔也別說這種會招來誤會的言辭呀!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我再笨也聽得出來『身為父親』的盤算,不禁暗地為冬米爾捏一把冷汗,羅都亞幾乎把教導我的事都丟給夏美,本以為是他懶散,現在想想,果然是故意的吧?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">按理,從金盾到底里多走大道趕上一天就能到達,但是我們刻意放慢速度,不斷停下觀望,半途肯定要進到小村落借宿一晚。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我點頭示意明白,安潔兒又關上小窗。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾眼泛微弱紅光,我知道她御風前去偵查。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒多久,小蕾說道:「廿三個武裝精靈,十一個騎馬,沒看到小修,要抓嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「遇上了也不必客氣,一旦放過以後也會危害無辜百姓,至少繳了武器和馬匹,當然,打聽小修的消息最重要。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳也起身準備應戰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「梅琳晚點出去,不然妳一現身,那些馬兒就全嚇跑了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳嘆了口氣,她一直沒說話,是因為安潔兒在用『天聽術』,她不想被發現自己能夠說話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我撫摸她的大尾巴:「沒辦法,梅琳太強了,又沒法隱藏殺意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然是靈獸,但也具有天生的雪狐野性。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「等會我和梅琳動手,專攻下盤不讓他們逃跑,小艾用障壁自保,你的火球火箭他們可能會受不了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯,明白,拜託妳們了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒又打開小窗:「前後兩批包夾過來,依我看就是盜匪了,有騎馬和步行的,我們先按兵不動,等他們全部都包圍上來,不過,前方稍遠處還有單騎快馬接近中,可能是信差什麼的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好的!都聽閣下吩咐,如果可以,儘量留下活口。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">正如安潔兒所料,對方就是盜匪。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">騎匪前後包夾騾車,並喝斥我們下車,對方見到成年精靈只有一男一女加上兩位少女,似乎鬆懈了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">盜匪頭子開始問話,安潔兒一一對答,幾乎都是胡扯,是為了爭取時間等待步行盜匪接近,然而盜匪頭子也是同樣心思,騎馬不方便載運商品,終究得由步行盜匪接手,對方估計不必戰鬥應該就能順利搞定。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">盜匪要求我們全體遠離馬車,安潔兒給我一個眼神,示意差不多了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請問你們全部都到齊了嗎?」安潔兒笑瞇瞇地問著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳什麼意思?」對方似乎不太聰明。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">對話沒能繼續,因為有單騎快速接近著,不僅是我們,那單騎也吸引了盜匪注意力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「對方增援嗎?才一個也太少了吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘆了一口氣說:「不,那是魯迪因德的靈劍士,迪里特,他也在找小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迪里特下馬朝我們走來,一看見我,表情錯愕,「誒……這?公……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我立刻以食指摀嘴示意不可聲張。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在里德修拉和布羅倪時,我都遠遠看過迪里特,但是他認識我,是在新安達魯城的時候,他在最後一刻趕到,解救了圍城之困。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他大喊著:「靈劍士迪里特在此,全部盜匪都給我棄械趴在地上。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這句話白搭的吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迪里特的火精聖劍發出火光,盜匪不必求証也知道那是聖劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">盜匪才沒那麼乖乖聽話,只有怔了一下下,打都不想打,便開始逃竄,沒辦法,盜匪最怕碰上靈級士。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「梅琳快點阻止他們上馬。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳跳上篷車頂大吼一聲,頓時盜匪的馬匹四處亂竄,本想上馬的盜匪只好放棄,改用跑的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「動手吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾點了頭,與梅琳一同出擊,對方這一逃,讓我們多花了不少氣力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這種一般程度的盜匪,就算有廿幾個,只要一位靈劍士就能輕鬆應付。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾和駕車衛士把盜匪們全綁了起來,衛士也稍為做了傷口急救。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我把安潔兒和迪里特帶至一旁,為他們互相介紹,並大致說明情況。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迪里特:「原來聖女的伴侶真的是修閣下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如同許多認識小修的朋友一樣想法,印象中的小修並不像是多情種子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「是聖女任性,還請包涵。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迪里特:「盜匪膽敢襲擊公主,死不足惜。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「迪里特爵差點壞了事,本來計畫一網打盡,才會讓他們靠近的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迪里特:「抱歉,在下以為盜匪對百姓出手,急忙趕上救援,真的是沒想到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,我沒有責怪的意思,在這裡遇見閣下,的確是個意外。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迪里特:「於公於私,在下都不願修閣下名聲受辱,所以才會前來找尋盜匪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「事不宜遲,我們先打聽修閣下下落。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迪里特:「是指那個喬裝的修閣下?在下也很想把那傢伙給揪出來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯,我們不認為小修會成了盜匪,姑且當成是線索,那個——這樣說很不禮貌,能否請迪里特爵審問盜匪?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迪里特:「事情我明白了,交給在下吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為迪里特相貌最為兇惡,而且自曝了靈劍士身分,威懼之下盜匪較易吐實。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">而且他提出不錯的交換條件,把盜匪和小修的訊息詳細說出來就當作是自首,如果是被逮捕的關個十幾年跑不了,然而搶劫當下被捕,至少要砍斷一手或一腳,自首的話,通常是幾年的勞動服務,盜匪們當然是爭先恐後,知無不說。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不過,這個交換條件也有盲點,因為魯迪因德靈劍士開出的條件,不知道拿茲城務廳是否願意老實買單。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「公主確定要前往底里多?」迪里特邀我到一旁私下詢問。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「既然盜匪說是小修,哪怕有一點可能性,我都想去找找。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當然,這是依據盜匪自白而做出的決定,並非任性而為。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請讓在下隨行護衛吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我有安潔兒閣下陪著,蕾菲亞娜和靈狐的身手閣下也看到了,沒問題的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「女僕和靈獸的確厲害,在下引以自傲的速度相當受到打擊呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這廿幾個盜匪也不能放著不管,只有一名衛士押送實在不能放心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這裡距離金盾較近,盜匪押送到王都比較合理,馬匹全被梅琳嚇跑了,只能步行押送,就算綁手纏腳,一個衛士也很勉強,有層級較高的靈劍士押陣,交涉也方便許多。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好吧!且依公主之意,在下就先回到金盾與維特拉芙美閣下會合。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一有消息就會通知使館,其他線索還請迪里特爵多加留意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然,在下告辭,請公主多保重。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迪里特和嚮導衛士押解盜匪一路往南返回金盾,所以現在換成小蕾駕車,安潔兒和我也一起坐在車伕座分享剛剛得到的訊息,幸好往底里多就只有一條路,沒有嚮導還不至於迷路。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來這一批是東側大道的盜匪集團。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">事實上,小修沒有必要補充靈力,但這是不能說的秘密。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「畢竟是不同集團,雖說是聯盟,也僅只於交換情報,重要的藏匿處是不太可能洩露的,就算同樣是盜匪也不行。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修在與迪里特交戰之前,以索敵與狂暴的加持,與巴蘭多算是不相上下,取得御龍寶劍之後,小修就未曾輸過,更甭說與小蕾締結誓約後,更加成為遠遠超越精靈的存在。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一早,在葉布羅市集區,我和夏美來到長豐餐館。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美和她們母女打招呼,我第一次見到南芙梅絲的父親肯司巴夫,南芙梅絲為我介紹,我也禮貌地招呼回禮。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「初次會面,你好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">帕納蘿:「小夏美怎麼有空來這裡啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「父親明天要去底里多,所以過來說一聲,請問還是老樣子嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看我有點納悶,夏美解釋說,每次羅都亞出門商辦,都會幫長豐餐館探購特別或是價格好的食材,長久以來兩家互相幫忙,需要的項目彼此都很清楚,連酬金比例都成了慣例,偶而也會有特別指定的物品。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">帕納蘿:「那條路上最近不太平靜,你們可得小心點。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「這次有五個商隊一起上路,而且靈劍士已經前去剿匪,應該還算安全。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">肯司巴夫:「那天南芙梅絲一回家,整天都在講大河這個大河那個,肯定是著迷了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">肯司巴夫把我拉到一邊:「大河~大河~夏美和南芙梅絲,你喜歡哪一個?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「兩個都喜歡。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">肯司巴夫:「喂~花心是不行的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,是朋友的喜歡,在此之上,完全沒有。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「伯父別逼他,大河失憶了,他擔心原本就有交往對象,所以男女感情的事,他要等廿年後才考慮。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">肯司巴夫:「哦!那也沒辦法,也好,反正大家都還年輕,不急。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">分明就是急,看來兩家都是一樣,孩子一到廿歲,就開始物色對象。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美是專程來向執行官遞出契約工作的確認名單。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">順風只有薇薇兒和亞爾寇文是忙不過來的,每當羅都亞出遠門,便會向城務廳申請契約工作,從城務廳給的名單中遴選合適的臨時僱傭,今天則是正式回覆。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幸好夏美認為有理,城務廳到順風有點遠,白跑一趟真的不好。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">進到辦公室,我們沒見到冬米爾,卻碰見了劍術教官達拉斯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「達拉斯君早安!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「早,是大河啊!今天要來訓練廳玩玩嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,我們要到底里多商辦,今天得做一些準備工作,招募臨時僱傭之類的——冬米爾君不在嗎?我還想向他辭行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此,冬米爾君有任務,這幾天不在城務廳,至於在哪裡……呃,他的同僚也不在,得到勤務室問問才知道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那沒關係,不在就算了,我們等會還有事,沒辦法再等下去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——冬米爾啊!你不但膽子小,運氣還特別差。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">有時我真的認為,撮合冬米爾和夏美,成功率實在有夠低。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河小心點,那條路最近不太安穩。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「塔爾林斯閣下不是去剿匪了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「輪替回來的衛士說,暫時沒有成果,盜匪好像發覺有緝捕行動,躲了起來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我明白,謝謝達拉斯君提醒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「盜匪不過就是比城裡的小流氓強一點而已,大河劍術了得應該沒問題——不對,大河說過沒有劍吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真的沒有,那可不是謊言。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯叫我稍等一會,便離開了辦公室,等到他回來時,手上多了兩把短劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河君,這兩把短劍先借你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可以嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒問題,這是私用的,我現在幾乎都在教導劍術很少出勤,雖然我認為你用長劍比較凌厲,但是很抱歉,我是雙劍士,廳內長劍又不能隨便外借,你將就用吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這足夠了,非常感謝達拉斯君。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「比較危險的是那個『御龍劍士』,但是沒誰看過他的真面目,有說真的也有說是假的,總之,別冒險,碰上就讓一讓,丟了東西還好,可別丟了小命。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「明白,容我再次感謝。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯,一路順風,回來後再過來玩啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一定。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">和達拉斯道別之後,我和夏美一起回家,剩下的就是整理騾車而已。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我雙手提袋,夏美幫我拿著短劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這短劍看起來好精緻。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美別看了,大街上不能亮劍的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「也是。」夏美小心地把布套包回去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我挺擔心的,萬一弄丟弄壞,那可賠不起。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">普通短劍至少也要一個銀幣,但是達拉斯的短劍打造精緻,劍套也很精美,估計三、五個銀幣跑不了,靈劍士幾乎都是用更高的工法鍛造,價值是以金幣計算,如果是帶有獨特咒式的『聖劍』,就更難以用金錢來衡量。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這表示達拉斯君很重視大河。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「結果還是沒能見到冬米爾君吶!」這才是我的目的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒關係的,不是有留信息嘛!——大河啊~萬一有盜匪,你會保護我吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然,別說就在身邊,就算在遠方知道出了事,我也一定會趕去救妳的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是盜匪很危險。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「拼上性命我也會去,妳就放心吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美沒再說話,只是歪著頭笑瞇瞇抬頭看著我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「為……為啥擺出這種表情?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嘻~因為我聽了非常開心呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">喂~夏美是不是誤會了什麼?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「基本上,我是不希望亞叔讓妳去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不去不行的,而且和大河一起旅行也很新鮮——啊~有賣炸薯球,你等我一下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美真能吃,而且還吃不胖,不過,肯定又會留下一大半給我,真不明白她究竟是買來自己吃?還是買給我吃的?</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放心,小艾沒有錯過,是他昨晚沒能回來,估計被雨勢拖遲了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我覺得現在狀況很好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梳洗換裝,吃過早餐,正好衛士前來通知,說是狩獵精靈回來了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾趕到狩獵精靈之家,安潔兒已經等在那兒,她讓我們在身後待著,狩獵精靈正在看小修的圖像。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「給我看也沒用,又沒親眼見過——居然是俠士隊長帶頭在找,是大人物嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一般來說資深俠士不會刻意出面,尤其是這類偵訊場面,而安潔兒靈術士的身分並未讓狩獵精靈知曉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「他就是『御龍劍士』修.南宮閣下,也是魯迪因德的靈劍士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">衛士隊長:「能說說你聽到的傳聞嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">狩獵精靈:「是平常交易的經商精靈告訴我的,他的車隊遇到盜匪,貨物都被搶走,帶頭首領自稱是殺龍的御龍劍士。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">狩獵精靈:「誰敢反抗殺龍的靈劍士啊?是在……底里多到金盾的大道上。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隊長:「居然在大道上行搶,那肯定很有本事,一般盜匪可沒敢那麼囂張。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">底里多城在金盾城的北方,擁有拿茲最寬廣的開墾地,是農作集散的重要城市。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「有聽說過御龍劍士殺害精靈嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">狩獵精靈:「朋友說曾經遇劫的還有三、四個商隊,但是那個什麼……劍士好像很有名氣,誰都不敢貿然亂動,所以也沒有死傷的傳聞,再說,那群盜匪有卅幾個,普通商隊也沒有能力抗衡。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隊長:「不妙啊!萬一修閣下淪為盜匪該怎麼處理啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">狩獵精靈:「再有名氣也不能見車就搶,衛士隊不會是想袖手旁觀吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隊長:「不,只是有點棘手,抓他處刑,恐怕會有兩個王國派軍隊過來。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說是處刑也只是場面話,一般來說,以外交模式處理大概就是賠償一定金額,然後遣返出境,處刑等於甘冒兩國交情大幅下降的風險,更何況還關係到兩個王國,但是,這些都不是能在平民面前說出口的事。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,這種事絕不可能。」我也很生氣,只是不能當場發作。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也不相信,但是有點在意剛剛說的黑髮,按理說,告示圖是寫茶褐色,我是兩天前發現畫像不對才指正,盜匪卻早就知道,如果不是真的修閣下,又怎會知道是黑髮?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「這裡是拿茲不是魯迪因德,大多數精靈對修閣下的印象,都是來自告示圖。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘆了口氣:「真頭疼,我希望那盜匪是小修,又不希望小修就是那盜匪。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「若是如公主所料修閣下失憶,或許會被盜匪利用,而且憑修閣下的力量,絕對可以稱霸一方吧?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「的確,就算主人只用一般短劍,也足以對付靈劍士或靈術士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修是破咒術高手,是術士的天敵,狂暴的潛力也沒有任何劍士能匹敵。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「沒有精靈樹補充靈力,修閣下的咒術也不能一直使用吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾對視一眼苦在心中,小修自身就是精靈樹的存在,靈力幾乎不會見底,但這個秘密不能對安潔兒說。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修會的是通用咒術,本身靈力又充沛,耗盡也是很久之後的事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「再說,以主人的身手,潛入城內補充靈力並不困難。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「在下很擔心,如果造成重大傷亡,想保住閣下會有困難,我想前往金盾,儘快找到盜匪,如果確是閣下就帶回來,如果不是,也要阻止盜匪利用他的名號。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">就算刑不至死,但我也不想小修缺根胳臂少條腿。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修的名譽與聖女息息相關,不知道桃花肯不肯放棄小修這個伴侶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「依在下觀察,聖女大人不會輕言放棄,她總是帶著修閣下送的項鍊,一有空閒就摸著項鍊發呆,一知道修閣下落水失蹤立刻就哭了出來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾搖頭嘆息,小修情債高築,聖女這份感情怕是難以了斷,其實我和小蕾都有私下與桃花書信往來,本以為她只是被小修搭救一時意亂情迷,沒想到還挺堅持的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「找盜匪碰個運氣也不錯,拿茲搜索做的很好,我們就不必再做重複工作吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「盜匪的事也算線索,搜索隊做不到的就由我們來做,而且我也不願意『御龍劍士』的名聲毀於一旦,萬一真的是小修,那更得由我們來阻止。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「好!如果兩位沒有異議,我們暫時脫離搜索隊,到金盾打聽盜匪下落。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來到順風旅館已經半個月,各種工作都能輕鬆上手,薇薇兒並未讓我固定在某個工作,打掃整理、櫃台接待、點餐結帳、端盤收拾,除了廚房是樣樣都來,她甚至在閒暇時教我識字,好讓我在工作時更方便些,雖然薇薇兒如此解釋,我還是覺得她教得有點太過,難道僱用長工需要這般費事嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">交往或成為羈絆者是不能勉強硬是湊對,最後無法締結靈線也是白搭。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈大約廿歲左右,會動情就能交往,一般來說締結靈線大約都在五十到一百五十歲之間,薇薇兒有點急,羅都亞也不遑多讓,我則是認為以夏美的條件,這對父母根本是杞人憂天。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">是吃了一半的烤煎餅,話說我常吃夏美的另一半零食,她喜歡吃,胃口卻不大。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「大河,你也別拘謹,小費箱裡的銅幣拿來用也沒關係,大部分也算是你努力掙來的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好,有需要時我會取用。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我曾以為自己是窮苦出身,對於用錢沒什麼概念,但又似乎不是這樣,在模糊記憶之中,有許多奇怪又豪華的怪東西。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一邊吃著煎餅一邊收拾寫字工具,亞爾寇文放學,意味著晚餐忙碌的時間也快到了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">正當此時,大門突然被大力推開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">是上氣不接下氣的南芙梅絲,「不好了,哥哥要決鬥。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大夥一頭霧水,夏美上前安撫,南芙梅絲才慢慢講清楚,原來是冬米爾與之前來鬧事的小混混要決鬥。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「怎麼回事?那些小混混知道你哥哥是俠士吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「是哥哥找到他們談判,以後不准再到順風鬧事什麼的,那些傢伙就說要立下約定就要先嬴得決鬥。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這就是『公開決鬥』,街頭處理紛爭的方式之一,也是唯一合法拔劍相向的機會,即使受傷也不會被當做暴力事件,萬一喪命也不會強制賠償或受罰,頂多道義上賠個象徵性撫恤金。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是,冬米爾是正規劍士,小流氓不可能會是對手吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「冬米爾這個笨蛋,他在哪裡?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「在西園廣場,恐怕就要開始了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我脫下圍兜:「店裡麻煩夫人,容我前去看看——南芙梅絲快點帶我去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲帶著我跑出門,夏美居然也跟了上來,亞爾寇文一定也想跟,但是薇薇兒不可能會同意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美~妳回去幫夫人,晚餐時間要到了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,一起去,別拖拖拉拉,不然來不及。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">真沒辦法,我們三個一路衝向西園廣場。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來到廣場已經來不及阻止了,但是——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這怎麼能叫做決鬥?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">分明就是圍毆,七個小混混毆打冬米爾一個,冬米爾學劍術沒幾年,一打一還有機會,打七個未免太過逞強。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「快點認輸!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒本事還想出頭。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好弱啊!俠.士.大.人!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾早已不支倒地,兩把短劍掉落一旁,小混混一邊嘲笑一邊用腳踢著,想逼他投降,當天餐館鬧事的只有六個小混混,今天又多加一個。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">畢竟是合法決鬥,圍觀精靈都沒有出手搭救的意思,甚至還有兩名巡守隊士佇在旁邊,注視著現場,恐怕只有生命危險才可能叫停。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲對著巡守隊士大叫:「你們怎麼不阻止?冬米爾和你們一樣是公職呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一名隊士搖著頭,拿著一張契約書說:「唉~是冬米爾太糊塗,居然寫下挑戰對方七個,他沒認輸也沒受傷,我們也沒辦法。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見血受傷就能強制結束,但小混混們似乎是故意的,拳打腳踢就是不用短劍攻擊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「不對,決鬥應該是一個對一個,怎麼可以一起上?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">另一名隊士說:「他中計了,這些小混混就擅長玩文字遊戲,契約裡頭沒寫明單挑,對方是有備而來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美~妳唸一遍契約給我聽。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隊士把契約書交給夏美,裡頭寫著順風餐館的代表與七名精靈決鬥,一方的賭注是要求對方不准再騷擾順風餐館,而另一邊是要求兩枚銀幣,擺明是想加倍要回之前損失的一枚銀幣飯錢,字裡行間確實沒寫單挑,對方全部一起上也不算犯規。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我咦的一聲好奇問道:「沒寫冬米爾君的名字?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隊士解釋:「這契約似乎是對方撰寫的,懶得寫上冬米爾的名字,用『代表』蒙混過去,但是也沒有差別,對方接受就算是代表。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我看不下去了,直接跳入場中,直接推開兩名小混混,護在冬米爾面前。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">其他小混混見我闖陣,都後退幾步。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最壯碩那個說:「原來是你啊!先警告這是合法決鬥,快點離開。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不理會蹲下扶起冬米爾:「傷怎麼樣?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,我……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「還有意識嘛,來,我扶你出去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你這傢伙,他還沒認輸,要出頭替他賠兩枚銀幣嗎?」小混混喊著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我把冬米爾交給南芙梅絲攙扶,夏美不是不幫,精靈不喜碰觸,如果沒有必要,不會主動碰觸,即使隔著衣物也算勉強。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一名隊士也說:「你這麼做,是要代替他賠兩枚銀幣哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「我可以幫出沒關係,母親會答應的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">賠償是一回事,但是,無論如何我都不能讓冬米爾再挨揍下去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我搖搖頭:「不必,難得立下契約書,我不想糟蹋冬米爾君的好意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「大河別做傻事啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我詢問隊士:「請教一下,契約書只寫順風餐館的代表,有寫明幾個嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隊士看看契約書:「這倒沒有……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我住在順風餐館,也是員工之一,作為代表有違反契約嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">另一位隊士:「呃……這位小哥,不好吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他並未說違規,而是想阻止我徒然挨揍,不過,剛剛已評估過對方身手,這種速度或許還可以一拚,最壞狀況就是代替挨揍而已,至少我體格比冬米爾耐打許多。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最壯碩的小混混說道:「小子~我看你不順眼,要代替那個誰也行,快點上來讓我們好好修理一下,不過,輸了也是要付兩枚銀幣哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">另一個小混混不懷好意說:「旁邊那位小姐也是順風餐館的,一起上來也可以,我會很溫柔,不會打痛妳的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一邊說還一邊邪惡地扭著手指頭,是非常無禮的挑釁。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">下流發言惹火了夏美,不甘受辱往前衝去,我趕緊拉住她,可是夏美用力掙脫,逼得我兩手抱住硬是扯她回來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美冷靜,我搞得定,妳上去會礙著我。」她不斷掙扎,我只得牢牢圈住。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河真有辦法?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我直視著她,堅定地點點頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美突然臉紅低頭害羞:「好……那個……你可以放手了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「啊~非常抱歉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我並未對夏美懷有特別感情,也明白習俗忌諱碰觸,但不知何故,自然而然就做出抱住阻止的動作,而且毫無違合感,夏美如果把我和邪惡流氓混為一談,也沒辦法辯駁。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你小心點。」即使如此,夏美還是為我打氣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「塔爾林斯說過我辦得到,我自己也想放手試試。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲也投來焦慮的眼神:「大河……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不會讓妳哥哥白白犧牲的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「你說什麼啊~我還沒死……咳……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看來只有皮肉傷,幸無大礙,我覺得應該再遲來些,讓他被打慘一點,好讓夏美發揮『母性』,礙了事真是抱歉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~你休息吧!剩下的交給我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我一進入場中,馬上就被七個精靈圍住。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂~地上有劍隨便用,可別說我們欺負你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我撿起冬米爾的雙劍,比劃了兩下,好輕。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也不知道自己會不會用劍吶!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你不是第一次拿劍吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「認輸比較快哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們要上囉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">面對七個對手的無禮言語挑釁,真令我生氣——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不對,我沒有生氣,意外地心平氣和,也不太對,該說是亢奮著,這顯然不正常吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">往場外注視過去,因為稍遠處有位圍觀精靈吸引了我,是索敵發現的,他的靈力反應比一般精靈強多了,不難辨認。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一名小混混循著我的視線望去,怯懦地說:「大……大哥,是……塔爾林斯閣下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怕什麼,這是公開決鬥,就算靈劍士也拿我們沒辦法。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「閣下參戰就糟了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放心,他又不是順風餐館員工,怎麼說都不算代表。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聽到小混混嘰哩呱啦的,我大聲說:「要開始了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那個被叫大哥的說:「我數到三就開始。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">誰數都好,我握緊雙劍,催起狂暴,心中莫名期待。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「三!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一開口就是三,小混混突然從四方攻過來,我發動慢了,猝不及防右上臂被劃了一道傷口,趕緊用最快速往他們的進攻缺口逃出去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小混混一招得手看起來挺開心的,還真是無聊的小把戲,幸好索敵有盯住異常反應,否則身上就多了好幾個窟窿。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聯手欺負的手法很有默契,為什麼就不能用在好的方面呢?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">話說回來怎麼回事?雖然是突襲,但他們的動作也太慢了吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">伴隨著場外好幾聲尖叫,夏美還是最大聲的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我立定後再次被包圍,傷口在流血,但是沒有意料中的疼痛,不影響活動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小子你逃挺快的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒閒功夫想東想西,萬一被打倒,挨揍不說,還得賠上兩個銀幣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我決心搶奪先機,撲向最弱小的小混混,側身閃過劍鋒,還見到他想改變劍鋒方向,沒用的,因為我更快刺中他的手腕,短劍啷噹落地,我越過他的身軀,反手用前臂狠敲對方後頸,被金屬護套砸中可是很痛的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不過,他沒喊痛就直接倒趴地上,昏得如此乾脆反而令我大吃一驚,千萬別死啊!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我的動作在一瞬之間完成,圍觀精靈都錯愕著,在他們眼裡彷彿突然消失一般,儘管如此我也沒打算停下,但是不太敢再用力打擊,深怕打死就糟了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我依著靈力反應大小,挑選下一個最弱目標,似乎很習慣面對眾多對手,心裡更加興奮,全力奔馳著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不懂劍法,所以策略很簡單——見招拆招,趁隙突刺,運用優勢速度逐個擊破。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">才一會功夫而已,一名精靈昏倒在地,五名精靈短劍撤手倒在地上哀嚎,我只是刺傷手腕令對方無法握劍,還有時間就補上一腳給踢到旁邊去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">終於,我停下腳步,面對被叫『大哥』的小混混。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「接下來該……你是『大哥』對吧?你比他們都還強壯,估計要刺上五、六劍才夠,放心,不會死的,大概吧……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「慢……慢著!」,驚慌的『大哥』短劍一扔跪伏瞌頭,「認輸!我認輸了!是我輸了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">環視周圍,除了這位大哥不停喊著認輸之外,全場鴉雀無聲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我望向巡守隊士,一名隊士前去檢視昏迷的精靈,並揮手示意沒事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">拿著契約書的隊士走到我面前:「以肯特拉休城主賦予的權力,在此宣告順風餐館代表嬴得決鬥。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">語畢,圍觀精靈開始騷動,拍手歡呼聲四起。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隊士接著走到不敢起身的大哥面前:「依約定,爾等終生不得騷擾順風餐館,契約並未載明違約賠償,也就是說,一旦違約確認,賠償金額由順風餐館提出,你們七位共賠不得異議,這份契約書會好好保存在城務廳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">真可惜,應該踢『大哥』幾下為冬米爾報仇的,他一認輸,我也只能停下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小混混們寫下對自己有利的條件,同時卻也不謹慎地讓自己陷入困境,應該說他們一開始就不覺得自己會輸。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我走向夏美,「妳又哭又笑很奇怪啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美不說話,只是搖著頭擦拭眼淚,拿出手帕包紮我的手臂傷口。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我把短劍遞給冬米爾:「下次別隨便決鬥,太亂來了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「說到亂來你也差不多,大河果然會劍術。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,我不知道什麼劍術,只是動作很快又很順手而已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲興奮地說:「真沒想到大河這麼厲害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳快點帶哥哥去治療,以免留下傷痕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">催促南芙梅絲扶著冬米爾離去,我和夏美也打算儘快趕回,薇薇兒一定在擔心著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是,在離開西園時卻發現塔爾林斯在等著我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「塔爾林斯閣下,午安。」「閣下……午安!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河先生,夏美小姐好。真是精彩的決鬥,我很久沒這麼開心了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——是我在拼命,為什麼開心的是你?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一群小混混亂來而已,幸好我打架也蠻行的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我還是第一次見到沒什麼固定招式,劍鋒卻能行雲流水,在場能看清楚的,大概沒有幾個。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是拼著比他們快而已,我感覺就是這樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當初延攬入門確是無禮,但是在下改變想法了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誒?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「能否一戰?不公開也行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請容在下拒絕,我平時也很忙的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只要勝過在下,我保証向城主薦舉大河成為靈劍士,輸了也沒關係,任何你想要的職務,在下全力撮合。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「閣下可能不太明白,在下的心願就是在小旅館打工,舒服過日子最開心,刀來劍往的,最好一輩子都不必碰。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河先生如此不願張揚出頭,莫非另有隱情。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「山鼎鐘林各有所好,沒有隱情。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「難道是通緝犯?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下自認沒做虧心事,況且,憑我長相,如果是通緝犯早就該被認出來吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說真的,好希望有誰能夠認出我是誰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~也是,不過,在下不太想放棄呢!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真抱歉,餐館馬上就要忙了,再不回去老闆和夫人肯定要著急的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯似乎不相信我說的,看看旁邊扶著我的夏美,又說:「委身小餐館,莫非是因為這位姑娘?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美一聽臉都紅了,不過我看她是說不出話否認,塔爾林斯雖未提男女之事,但肯定是朝那方向聯想。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請別誤會,完全沒這回事,我是受到老闆救命之恩,自願留在餐館幫忙的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就當作是這樣吧!多有打擾還請見諒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,承蒙閣下搭話,有感榮焉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說罷彼此行禮道別。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯走了幾步又回過頭說:「對了!在下收到『御龍劍士』的告示單,原來他長得很一般,誤認你是他的同族真是抱歉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不須抱歉,我不在意的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">其實有點惋惜,還以為有誰和我相同長相,真心不太喜歡獨一無二。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下不會放棄的,明天要出發捉拿『御龍劍士』,等回來之後再擇日上門拜訪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">捉拿『御龍劍士』?為什麼?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我納悶了一下而來不及拒絕拜訪,塔爾林斯就離開了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">算了,趕緊帶著夏美回家,太不妙了,現在的我連自己是誰都不知道,一點都不想和大人物扯上關係。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">趕回順風旅館,大致說明決鬥結果,薇薇兒只是一句:「沒事就好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">然後就進入忙碌的晚間用餐時刻,今天晚上,真的是非常、非常、非常忙碌,幾乎全都是不認識的新食客,我不斷穿梭忙著,還一直聽到「小子厲害」、「打的精彩」、「太棒了」,還有的會舉起大姆指稱讚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這些食客幾乎都是我的粉絲,在西園廣場,公証的巡守隊士有大聲喊出『順風餐館』,結果就是許多精靈循線找來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不斷有精靈詢問我的各種穩私,很抱歉,我自己也不知道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不敢直接問的,就在結帳時問薇薇兒,食客暴增讓羅都亞夫妻挺開心的,居然一直忙到打烊為止,今晚算是頭一遭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">妮可下班回家之後,終於輪到我們吃飯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">晚餐主題想都不必想,當然是決鬥的詳情。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我代替冬米爾上場打趴小混混,然後就回來了。」我只說了這麼一句,立刻被兩大一小給嫌棄了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">終究詳情是由夏美說明,包括前面契約的陷阱,冬米爾的受傷,然後我打嬴,隊士宣佈勝利,連最後塔爾林斯的登門拜訪約定都說了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文:「姐姐慢著,大河哥哥一個打七個是怎麼打的?一個昏迷,五個受傷,混混大哥伏地認輸,怎麼就交代這一點而已?細節呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美尷尬笑著:「這個……真的就這麼簡單,大概你手上那碗湯還沒喝完,決鬥就結束了,那個什麼細節的,我根本就看不清楚,大河出手太快了啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「好像撿到個寶帶回家的感覺。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「託大河的福,以後小混混應該不會再來吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「不是應該,是絕對不敢再來,隊士大人說了,那幾個小混混如果敢來,賠償金額就由我們開口說了算,因為他們忘了在契約裡指定違約賠償方式。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文:「大河哥哥出名了喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘆了口氣:「『大河』再有名也沒用,我的家眷又不知道那就是我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「我估計接下來幾天都會是這樣,你可不准亂跑,我們忙不過來的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——妳這個笨蛋,冬米爾比較想見夏美啦!我要是跟去,夏美就沒機會發揮『母性』,,不過話說回來,他傷得不重,效果恐怕很有限。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隔天早上,我和夏美來到冬米爾家,原本以為他會請假養傷,未料他認為只是輕傷,便回到城務廳執行勤務。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">與順風不同,冬米爾家是大餐廳,帕納蘿與南芙梅絲母女早早就在忙著開店食材準備。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">帕納蘿:「冬米爾實在是太衝動,多謝大河解救,夏美~還真抱歉,差點就給順風丟臉了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「不,再怎麼說,冬米爾君也是想為我們出一口氣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果是一對一,其實冬米爾君有勝算的,可惜契約寫得不嚴謹,被對方算計了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「可是大河好厲害,一下子就全擺平了——你真的不想學劍?我覺得塔爾林斯閣下很有誠意招徒入門啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「唉~別提了,昨天閣下不是來招徒的,他現在希望與大河一戰。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">帕納蘿:「一戰?等等,這可不是幾個小混混而已,是靈劍士塔爾林斯閣下呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我拒絕了,我才不像他這麼好戰。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我的回答令帕納蘿頗有興趣地看著我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲吐了一口氣:「還以為大河要與靈劍士決鬥,嚇死我了!——你們還想找冬米爾嗎?他五天之後才會回家哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾平時都是住在城務廳的宿舍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「好歹得探一下冬米爾君的狀況,親眼見到沒問題,才能真的心安。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「咦?夏美很擔心哥哥嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「擔心?我是要去數落這個笨蛋,下次再做這種事就跟他絕交。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然,就知道冬米爾追求夏美的方向完全錯誤,即使我提點不少,他還是沒能抓到竅門,前途坎坷呀~</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">帕納蘿:「南芙梅絲~哥哥的備用制服忘了帶,妳幫忙送一下,和夏美一起去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">於是,前往城務廳的路上變成了三個,南芙梅絲硬是擠在我和夏美之間,我當然明白這個用意,自動讓出位置,但是又換夏美有點不高興,抱歉,我沒法讓每一位都很滿意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">順帶一提,兩個大小姐雙手空空,我左手提水果,右手提衣物,基本上就是隨從。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一路上,有幾個過路精靈朝我投來好奇的眼光,大概是昨天看過我的決鬥。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我當作沒事,裝傻地直直走,異樣眼光是索敵捕捉到的,夏美和南芙梅絲則是完全沒能發覺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來到城務廳,馬上就有執行官認出南芙梅絲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喲~南芙梅絲,來找哥哥嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是啊!朋友也一起來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「他在訓練廳,不過今天心情不太好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我上去看看,可以嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「應該可以,別妨礙練習哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「明白。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一路招呼,看來南芙梅絲也認識不少冬米爾的同僚,我們順利上樓,來到劍士訓練廳,這裡是開放空間,我們就在外頭看著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾果然有點消沈,畢竟昨天被打慘了,沒多久,他看見了我們,便向教練鞠躬說了幾句,走到廳外與我們會合。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「真是的!明明請假也可以,心情都還沒調整好吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「冬米爾君的傷剛好,這樣能練習嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使用了療癒術治療,受傷的部位也沒辦法如同平常般行動,就算輕傷,休養一、兩天也是需要的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾搖搖頭:「沒事的,真的都只是皮肉傷。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我把衣物和水果交給他,但也說不出什麼安慰的話,因為比起這個,包含教練在內,有好幾位劍士盯著我們——不,不是我們,是盯著我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「哥哥別在意,昨天是圍攻,輸了也沒關係呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「沒錯,可不是誰都長得像大河那麼壯,不需要比較。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「唉~早就不在意了,其實,我是忍不住啊!只要一想起大河拿起雙劍戰鬥的樣子,我就熱血洶湧,完全無法平靜下來,我已經練習了一早上,就是沒辦法像大河那樣,果然劍術還是需要天分的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「冬米爾君,我想我不是劍術有天分,昨天只是純粹的狂暴術,全靠速度優勢才打趴那些小混混的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「不,可能是大河沒記憶而順著潛意識揮劍,我認為那就是劍術,如果不是長久練習,不可能那麼順暢,我還特地請教指導教官。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就算你說那是劍術……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「大河真的不能教我嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真的沒辦法,我根本記不起來任何劍路,只是隨手揮劍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">教練走了過來,站在冬米爾身邊:「初次見面,請問這位是……大河先生。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「教官大人,他就是大河,大河~這位是劍術指導教官,資深俠士達拉斯。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「初次見面,達拉斯君早上好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「真有禮貌……昨天的事我有聽說,多謝你幫了冬米爾君。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,只是小混混打群架,教官大人不必在意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「不在意可不行,巡守隊士也來說了,劍術之快恐怕都在我們之上。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">被略有年紀的教官盯著,我稍退一步,看向夏美。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——該走了,再留下去可不妙。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美卻是得意說著:「大河真的好快,我們都沒能看清楚。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——我的暗示顯然沒傳達到。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「塔爾林斯閣下也很讚賞喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——居然還火上添油。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「難得來了,請務必切磋一下,點到為止。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,我沒有劍……」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾一反頽喪振奮說道:「訓練廳什麼武器都有……誒……大部分都有啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美~旅館的工作……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒關係,母親知道我們來找冬米爾君。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說得好開心的模樣,夏美真是太沒默契,接下來會怎樣我可不管。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那就……點到為止。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河君請隨我來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯反身進入訓練廳,我也只能硬著頭皮跟上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">訓練廳裡本來還有三組劍士對練,見到達拉斯看懂了狀況,全都退到一旁坐下,原本廳外休息的劍士也進到廳內觀戰,難道他們全都知道昨天的事?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯走到牆邊武器櫃:「大河君,隨你挑選。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝謝!全都可以嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「順手最好,不然就沒意義了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那麼,我可以先握看看嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然,請隨意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為沒了記憶,我也不知道哪一個最順手,牆上掛了許多長短不一的劍,也有少見的斧棍之類,感覺上還是刀劍比較自然,一一取下掂量,又試了昨天用過的短劍,不管哪個都好輕,最後取下長劍,發動狂暴試揮了幾下,手感很好,就它吧!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾走過來小聲說:「昨天你用短劍很順,現在卻拿長劍,真的有學過嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我都說了完全記不起來什麼劍術,不如依教官建議挑個順手的試試。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「既然你這麼說,我也很期待。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別期待啊!我只是力氣大動作快,壓根就不知道該怎麼用,全憑感覺而已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我提著長劍走到場中央,就像被逼著上場沒了退路。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯有點吃驚:「長劍嗎?雖說你體格不錯,但我還是有點意外。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一般常用的不是短劍,就是雙短劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我是聽從指示,握起來順手就好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「也罷!喀耳巴君~你來應戰。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一名劍士來到我對面,同我一樣也是使用長劍,達拉斯是故意挑選同類型的對手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河君,請多指教。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喀耳巴君,請多指教。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">喀耳巴提起長劍,作勢進擊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我也提起長劍,學著喀耳巴的架勢,但是感到怪怪的,便改變持劍的姿勢。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「那個……大河君,你這是……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「教官大人抱歉,因為我失去記憶,所以忘了劍術,正在試著找手感。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不只是達拉斯,連在座的劍士們也在竊竊私語,不太相信我能使用長劍,說實在話,我自己也不太相信,選擇長劍純粹只是衝動罷了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後,我完全放棄喀耳巴的握法,改採雙手握持劍柄,似乎比較好些。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,久等了,就這樣吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">喀耳巴:「大河君可別開玩笑,我不會手下留情,如果你要更換雙劍也可以。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,就這樣,我也很在意為什麼自己會選長劍,請指教。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「好,雙方就位……開始!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">貿然刺出不太禮貌,我決定稍等一會,也趁機催動狂暴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">喀耳巴似乎誤會當我是禮讓:「大河君,我要去了哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請隨意!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">可能是怕傷了我而有點猶豫,喀耳巴看了看教官,達拉斯點頭示意放手進攻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">長劍迎頭劈來,我箭步上前,打算正面交鋒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「正正當當嗎?來的好!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">喀耳巴似乎喜歡這種戰鬥方式,加快長劍突擊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他的速度比起小混混快多了,但是在我看來,還是能夠從容應付。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩劍交鋒,我使用全力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒錯,我使出了全力,但卻是全力剎住腳步,不然就要停不下來,因為喀耳巴被撞得倒退數步。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這什麼怪力啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱……抱歉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「喀耳巴~他的力道極強,別想硬拚,要善用劍術。大河君也不用抱歉,狂暴十分優秀吶!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">喀耳巴再度站上預備線上:「大河君的速度和力量真是恐怖,難怪一群小混混都佔不到好處。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「看起來還可以,繼續?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">喀耳巴這次不再猶豫,提劍急奔攻來,我握住雙劍緩步上前。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我順著他的劍勢交鋒,但是喀耳巴學聰明了,不待劍路用老便即改變新劍路,我也被迫改變劍路應對。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">喀耳巴顯然害怕我的力量,交鋒很短暫,也不斷改變劍路找尋我的破綻,我雖然後知後覺,但是應變速度還算快,總是能提前擋住他的進攻路線。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如此來往數十回合,喀耳巴久攻不得要領,劍路似乎越來越急,我一開始有點手忙腳亂,到最後反而心中清明,長劍漸漸順手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來如此,狂暴的靈力會出現在劍身之上,無論進攻或防守,狂暴都會先行,索敵把他的劍路全都一覽無遺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">好開心!原來這就是劍術決鬥。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我漸漸明白,喀耳巴越急劍路就越亂,偶而還會拿捏失準,但我不急著反攻,享受有趣的攻防。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一炷時間過後,喀耳巴退了數步,試圖壓制喘氣,反而是我有點驚訝怎麼就此停止。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「喀耳巴君,狂暴到極限了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">喀耳巴:「抱……抱歉,已經催不動了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「退下吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">喀耳巴收劍行禮,我也回到預備線回禮,看著他離開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美和南芙梅絲在門邊笑嘻嘻的,冬米爾則是興奮得眼神都發光了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「大河君怎不反攻?依我看你應該是越來越順手,對吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「教官大人說的是,我也一直在回想,並不是故意的,以前似乎真玩過長劍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「那種程度可不是玩玩而已,喀耳巴君是我們最強的長劍劍士,他的狂暴已到極限,大河君難道沒用狂暴?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下有用,不過似乎還沒問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「好,那麼我想再試試,如果大河覺得身體不適就立刻喊停。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我點點頭同意,達拉斯掂量著劍士們。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……魯迪君~請上來挑戰大河君。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">是雙劍士,以雙短劍對長劍嗎?我不太懂達拉斯的用意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">互相行禮,魯迪便開始進攻,他不像喀耳巴客氣,一開始就是認真進攻,長劍我自認已經很順手,應該能擋得下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不太一樣,來往幾回合就發現事實與我想像的不一樣,雖然雙劍力道減弱能夠輕鬆擋下,但卻有從兩個方向進攻的優勢,即使我速度很快仍然是左支右絀,當魯迪拉大雙劍距離時,為了確實抵擋,我花費的時間更多了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">魯迪退了幾步,重新擺好架勢,看來他需要喘口氣,我可以追擊卻沒有那樣做,停下腳步反覆思考面對雙劍的策略,我總覺得能嬴的,卻不知道該怎麼嬴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯:「大河君~你果然學過劍法,似乎也真的失去記憶,要不要再掙扎一下,或許能想起更多,給你一個提示,長劍面對雙劍,比面對長劍更加有利。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「更加有利?我倒是覺得更加吃力。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「更吃力?不,比起剛剛對喀耳巴,你其實不花什麼力氣吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……或許不是力氣的問題……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好好想一下,戰鬥中學習到的比口頭說的更管用。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">魯迪對教官給予提示似乎不滿:「請問學生可以上了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯笑道:「隨時都可以,教官有幫你爭取到一點時間嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">魯迪尷尬笑著,他原本退後就是為了調息,我只要追擊就能趁勢擊潰對方,只是我不太樂意以此方式取勝。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達拉斯並不完全是在偏袒自己的學生,我也想從他的提示裡找出擊敗對手的方法。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雙劍再次來襲,我依舊見招拆招,魯迪為了不讓我思考或者是擔心自己後繼無力,轉而速戰速決,劍速似乎更快了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我逐漸熟悉他的劍路,還不至於落敗,但是一時之間我也無法取勝。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——拖到對方力盡嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我的狂暴似乎沒有衰竭的現象,但是我想確實打敗他。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">和小混混對招時,我是見招拆招然後趁隙突擊,面對喀耳巴時,我也是見招拆招,但是沒有能找到空隙,所以拖到對方狂暴用盡,然而現在魯迪的雙劍,我不管怎麼拆招,他總有餘裕再度來攻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">想一想那也是沒辦法的事,雙劍變換的優勢不是長劍能比的,沒錯,一劍對兩劍本來就很難見招拆招,他一出手就是兩招,等於我必須一劍擋下兩招。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那達拉斯的提示算什麼?長劍面對雙劍,比面對長劍更加有利,一打二怎麼可能?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那麼,長劍有利的是在什麼地方呢?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">索敵告訴我,魯迪又開始在喘,我實在不願意這樣取勝,讓他再休息一下好了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我加重力道一擊,魯迪被逼退三步,停下小喘,果然又再趁機調息。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">無所謂,不過我心裡想著另一件事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——好險!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">剛剛迫他後退,萬一沒成功,我可能擋不下對方同時雙劍突刺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我疑惑了,為什麼他不追擊而是被我逼退?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看著魯迪稍微顫抖的手,我終於晃然大悟。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來如此,我好整以暇,以索敵確實抓住魯迪的一舉一動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">魯迪的喘息只有一小會功夫,再次疾奔而來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我也是,疾奔向前。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是決定不再見招拆招,而是瞄準心口直攻而去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我的速度比魯迪更快,他大吃一驚,陡然半路變換劍路,棄攻為守。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我絲毫不在意他的架勢,只是稍改劍鋒,目標從他的右心口換成左前胸,我本來就是如此打算,說到直取要害,我比魯迪更加害怕,因為我一點都不打算要他的命。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使如此,急攻還是奏效讓魯迪亂了手腳,長劍攻擊力強,我即使硬挨兩劍也不過是輕傷,但魯迪卻會重傷,正因為他是熟練的劍士,懂得兩害相權取其輕。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒用的,我劍鋒已然欺近,魯迪硬是回劍相抵,也無法完全抵消力量。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這一擊,魯迪倒退五、六步,還止不住而坐跌地上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「到此為止,大河君勝。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">食客離開後索性就提早打烊,薇薇兒沏了壺茶招待靈劍士塔爾林斯,並讓我和夏美作陪,亞爾寇文不肯聽勸回房,耍賴般地留了下來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">正好羅都亞辦完事回到家,有靈劍士訪客嚇了他一跳,薇薇兒大致說明事件前後,羅都亞起身行禮致謝。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請勿多禮,順手仗義是靈劍士理所當為,不過,夫人如此決定可好?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「咱們開門迎客,以和為貴,這幾個小混混雖然持劍,想必只是威嚇,並非有膽傷害,若真送官斷手恐怕一生悲慘。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當時塔爾林斯故意直呼我和夏美的名字,彷彿熟識已久,嚇得幾個小流氓給了一枚銀幣,還大方直說不必找錢,私底下肯定非常心痛,薇薇兒原本不想收,是塔爾林斯接過銀幣讓她收下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「昨天險些傷及夏美小姐,今日這般補償還過得去吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「不,這可不只是還過得去的程度。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我才不相信是單純路過,順風餐館所在不過是一般平民區,高檔餐旅寥寥可數。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯:「這個嘛……原本想多看一會,就算我不出手也大概不會有事,大河先生~對嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">衝著我來?比起小混混,我更提防他的企圖,打定主意暫時不提失憶之事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,閣下肯出手是幫了大忙。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「冷靜識破對方小技倆,面對短劍毫不畏懼,自己發動狂暴術卻悠哉等我出手,大河先生的應對遠遠超過同年精靈。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">似乎真是如此,但是說『悠哉』可不對,只是覺得他若出面較無後顧之憂。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖未挾有怨氣,但一來一往比交戰還辛苦,我也很訝異自己能對答如流。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,在下只是硬撐,還斗膽請閣下卸除狂暴,夏美已經在發抖了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">現在非常肯定他就是衝著我來的,以狂暴加持散發無形的威迫氣勢,恐怕是為了試探我的深淺,夏美不懂這些只感受到惡寒。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不知不覺,竟變成只有我與塔爾林斯針鋒相對,夏美一家都看傻了眼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年紀還小的亞爾寇文幾無所畏喃喃自語:「原來那就是鬥氣,好厲害,我不由得也發了好幾個顫。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯終於不再窮追轉了個話題:「在下曾聽聞有與大河先生相貌近似的精靈。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我聞言色變,明顯動搖著,哪怕只是小線索我都很想知道。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯見我感興趣,終於又露出微笑。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「傳聞魯迪因德的靈劍士修閣下,黑髮圓耳,雙手御劍能殺飛龍,不但是詠月公主的羈絆者,還是修特羅里聖女的伴侶,大河先生可曾相識?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下完全不認識,也未曾聽聞。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「或許是誤會,在下猜測你是他的同族或近親,其至是御龍劍士本身。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先不說公主或是聖女,我不認為自己有辦法殺龍,總之,聽起來是個大人物,與我這市井小民天差地遠。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">畢竟黑髮圓耳實在罕見,幾天來我已經體會過不少好奇的視線。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯打量著,似乎在揣測我是否說謊,我只好繼續辯解——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「再說,魯迪因德未免太遠,千里迢迢到葉布羅小旅館打工,怎麼都想不到吶!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「確實。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「而且我手上就兩個防身護套,也沒有短劍可用,閣下很在意那位御龍劍士嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然,在下習劍百餘年,朋友笑稱『無雙劍士』,聽到有高手能者,情不自禁就想挑戰。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈~大河先生誤解了,勝負無妨但求一戰,所以在下從不拒絕劍士挑戰,反過來說,我很期待能被打敗,否則,不知天高地厚難有進步。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此,很抱歉,我不是御龍劍士,怎麼想都差太多。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來是個武癡,精益求精的想法我並不討厭,但是,貿然求戰會很困擾,我內心確實沒有半分戰意,或許學過劍術,但肯定不是稱職的劍士。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒明白了我的想法:「唉~沒錯,連名字是啥家住哪兒都不知道,就算當上靈劍士,也是一個來路不明的靈劍士。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「說不定哪天醒來記憶突然就回來了,或許碰上某個契機而打通了意識與記憶,但是這些都很難說,一輩子恢復不了也是有可能的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「熟悉的事物或許就是契機,一般而言這種機率相當高。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">索敵術我是一早醒來就突然記起咒文,能使用狂暴術的契機則是冬米爾把咒文唸出口,頗為符合理絲波亞的診斷。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我是在卡里克村附近的河邊獲救,物理原則是順流而下,事實上羅都亞一家也都是如此推測。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在我思考的時候,理絲波亞又說:「去過城務廳了嗎?那兒有各個城市失蹤精靈的通報,或許家眷正在找你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝謝!正好等一會要去城務廳,我會順道打聽。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使她這麼說,我認為現在自己的體力就已經足夠好使,但是重點是——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真的是因為療癒術嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河身上確實有接受療癒術的殘餘痕跡,你真的沒有印象嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「完全沒有,有沒有可能是因為其他方式治好的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這樣說吧!以兩百多年的行醫經驗保証,我肯定就是療癒術。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然當時不醒人事,但是羅都亞他們應該不會騙我,不,他們根本沒有理由說謊,如果不是理絲波亞誤判就是我天賦異稟,自己治好了自己,這個話題再談下去也不會有結果,我放棄了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那個,雖然有點突兀,順道請教夫人,我的長相有點奇特,這樣還算是精靈嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我無法妄下定論,但是,憑大河先生的智力,只有精靈或是魔靈才符合,我想到的可能性,就是混種精靈,因為前代多次的精靈與魔靈交配,而產生外形上的變異。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「明白了,理絲波亞夫人~今天非常感謝,大河告辭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">離開診療室,夏美正在外頭等著,理絲波亞治療師是薇薇兒的推薦,除了追蹤我傷後狀況,也在觀察我失憶的情形。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美~可以走了,不好意思,又麻煩妳先代墊。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你不肯預支,身上一點錢都沒有,大河還真是無所謂。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖說羅都亞讓我預支薪俸,我認為沒有必要,也花不上什麼錢而拒絕,但是最主要的原因是我自身變數太大,隨時都可能離開或是發生意外,甚至再次失憶而回不了順風旅館,我不想因此造成羅都亞的損失。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">離開醫療所,我與夏美邊走邊聊,下一個目的地是城務廳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「理絲波亞夫人有說什麼嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「應該是暫時失憶,未來還是有機會恢復,夫人也建議到城務廳調閱失蹤精靈通報。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那資料是公開的,就不必麻煩冬米爾君了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「麻煩他有什麼不好,妳不想見他嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「見他?為什麼?他休假時自然會見著,執勤時跑去打擾一點道理都沒有。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">連我這旁觀者都懂,難不成她一點都沒察覺到冬米爾的一番心意嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我想,如果冬米爾君看見夏美應該會開心吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「想太多了,我工作時就不喜歡干擾,要是他在我打掃時跑來,我肯定趕他回家。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">的確是她的認真個性,只不過回答得『一絲感情』都沒有,真是無語。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——冬米爾君,我就做到這一步,再逼下去就太超過,不過我還有拜託調閱御龍劍士資料的理由,晚點到城務廳之後再提醒夏美就行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">況且夏美年紀才廿出頭,男女之事根本毋需操之過急,話說回來,趕急的好像也就只有夏美的父母而已。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河~如果你真的找到家眷會怎麼做?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然是想辦法回家啊!既然會報失蹤,肯定是非常著急。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「以後你還會回來看我們嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這是當然,先別說有救命恩情,我們不也是朋友嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美笑了:「沒錯,我們就是朋友。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">葉布羅的城務廳,稍為有點距離,我和夏美走了快一炷時間才到。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">問清楚窗口,找到負責失蹤精靈的執行官,夏美大致說明來意,執行官讓我們稍候,取出好幾份文件,甚至把藍之湖城上游村落的失蹤精靈文件一併交給我們。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和夏美逐一檢視近十份文件,但是近期呈報的失蹤精靈,大概也就是廿來個,大部分都附有畫像,沒有畫像的也都有註記大約長相與外型。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美專注地閱讀,知道我識字有限,還貼心的把精靈文唸給我聽,其實根本就不需要,因為我看到畫像或是身高髮色註記,就知道那都不是我,只是她的好意不忍相拂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「完全沒有大河,好可惜。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是啊!真不好意思,又得厚顏無恥,繼續叨擾夏美你們啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~有什麼不好,就一直住下去啊!有你的幫忙,我們也樂得輕鬆,而且有大河在,覺得安心多了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「安心什麼啊?別忘了我房間就在妳隔壁呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河很善良沒問題的!我指的安心,是像小混混鬧場這種事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果是那種程度,我大概應付的來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">執行官抱著一堆文件,走過來對夏美說話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你們好像都看完了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真是麻煩執行官,可惜沒找到相符的失蹤通報。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">執行官笑了笑,「可惜沒能幫上忙,還以為結案績效可以多一件。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美雙手奉上文件,執行官取過,一不小心卻掉落幾張原本捧在手上的文件。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美趕緊幫忙撿回散落的文件。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝謝呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「長官不用客氣。」夏美瞄了一眼說:「誒~這張是靈術士資料啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">也不算偷看,因為『靈術士』幾個大字一清二楚,連站在一旁的我都看到了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!最近不少國外靈級士來訪,我們要複製畫像分發給各單位。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對了,請教執行官,聽說魯迪因德有個御龍劍士,殺龍英雄很有名也頗受景仰,能不能讓我們看看呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這些……姑且也算機密,不公開的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美落寞地說道:「這樣啊……因為有旅客提到,一直沒能想像長什麼模樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呃……好奇嗎?雖說是機密,不是本國靈級士程度上沒有那麼重要,內容也很有限,御龍劍士的資料正巧也有,讓妳看個外貌應該沒問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「真的可以嗎?非常感謝,外貌就行了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">執行官一張一張找著,抽出其中一份交給夏美:「只准在這裡看,看完馬上還我。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">才看了一下子,我和夏美彼此對視一眼,想法應該是一模一樣。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">和夏美一起步出城務廳,我心中暗嘆——冬米爾君~不是不幫你製造機會,是你運氣太差了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,夫人這樣做才是對的,換作我,是絕對不讓女兒接近的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「大河也不必妄自菲薄,你靈格不錯,說話得體,肯定是富貴之後,才會有如此表現。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這一點是個謎,我好像知道許多奇怪的東西,卻不曾在這裡見過,我明明知道一些文字,卻不曾見過精靈使用,可是我對精靈的習慣與用語,卻又是如此熟悉,我所知道的某個地方,有和我一樣全是黑髮圓耳的精靈,但是這裡的精靈卻說我的長相很罕見,所以那些究竟是現實?還是夢?我完全沒有頭緒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看到大家用餐差不多,我起身想開始整理。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「我好像有聽到怨言喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">嘴巴這麼說著,其實羅都亞很寵羈絆者,夫妻感情也很不錯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">換過衣服,我、夏美和亞爾寇文便前往南板大街的定期臨時夜街。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「天氣不太好啊!」亞爾寇文抱怨著。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這幾天一直都這樣,白天陰沈沈的,晚上也看不見月亮,中午過後總會下一陣雨。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這種天氣與我的心情還真是相配,雖然未形於色,但是失去記憶令我黯然。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有啊!只是像夢一樣,所以想要再次親眼看看。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「入夏之前就會好轉,放心吧!一定有機會的。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來到南板大街街口,整條街燈火通明,喧鬧聲沸沸揚揚,還伴隨著叫賣吼聲,那可真的是在比大聲,拉攏顧客上門不留餘力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文:「啊~是美玉和蘿拉,姐姐、大河哥哥~我先走了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說完話就衝了出去,雖然早知道他遲早不受控制,但是也太快了吧?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!別看他這樣,真的很有異性緣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不對吧?亞爾寇文留長髮綁單馬尾,混在小女孩群裡,不認識的肯定看不出他是小男孩,若非這幾天相處多了,我大概會誤認他是性別錯亂。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河要跟好,精靈很多一不留神就會迷路,你又不像小文知道回家的路。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美拉著我的袖口以防走散,只有羈絆者或是大膽的情侶才會牽手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放心吧!只要不是很遠我都不會跟丟。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">索敵在這方面還挺好用的,冬米爾說過靈力用盡索敵會自動關閉,可是,即使睡上一覺索敵還是好好的作用中,我懷疑這真的是索敵嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河有想吃的嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒有特別喜好,夏美想吃什麼就去,別顧慮我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是啦!如果我們分一半,可以多吃幾樣,就像早上分著吃烤煎餅一樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可以喲!聽起來是個好建議。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美一進到夜街就直接先帶我去南芙梅絲的攤位,畢竟是一起長大的姊妹淘。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「南芙梅絲!」夏美找到了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美~歡迎呀!來來,這裡坐,大河也來。母親——他就是我跟妳說的大河。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲為我們彼此介紹,她的母親——帕納蘿,是位稍微顯胖的中年女士。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「帕納蘿夫人妳好。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~你就是大河呀!南芙梅絲老是在說你如何如何厲害,還被靈劍士搭話哩!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哪裡,我也沒做什麼事,說的有點過頭了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「南芙梅絲~我跟妳說,昨天晚上塔爾林斯親自到順風來找大河。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「真的假的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩個女孩開始聊起八卦,還拿我當話題,實在聽不下去,我起身走到忙碌的帕納蘿身邊,她的攤位是賣燒烤的,旁邊有寫精靈文,但是我看不懂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夫人,這個是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這是魷魚,是少見的珍味哦!我賣的就是烤魷魚,是從海邊運來的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">拿茲王國並未臨海,所以是從其他王國進口的海產。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她熟練地翻轉魷魚,拿個碟子裝了一盤,淋上醬汁遞給我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等,我並沒有……這應該很貴吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">要說出口沒錢實在很難為情,又不想讓夏美負擔過大。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~你真是不懂規矩,拿去和夏美、南芙梅絲一起吃,這是不收錢的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這樣,非常感謝!」我低頭鞠躬。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呃……真的和南芙梅絲說的一樣,居然是正式道謝。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「應該的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我悻悻然端著肉盤,回到夏美身邊坐下:「我只是想看看夫人的料理,結果就……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲笑道:「我和夏美從小就是姐妹摯友,我去她家吃飯從沒被收過錢,母親當然也不可能向夏美收錢。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美遞小竹籤給我們:「南芙梅絲妳也一起享用,我可不想在這裡就吃飽,等會還要帶大河去嚐嚐其他美味小吃。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「哦~夏美和大河在約會嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「別胡說,大河第一次來到葉布羅,他又只有我這個朋友,得帶他見識見識才行,不相信的話,你也陪著我們一起逛啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲嘆了口氣:「我怎麼可能抽得出空啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吃下一塊,口感挺有韌性的,「好吃!」,從味道判斷,我似乎曾經吃過。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「南芙梅絲家裡也是開餐館的,我們家的餐館只是副業,她們家的才是專業,尤其是醬汁調配,帕納蘿夫人是高手中的高中。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我聽說南芙梅絲父母都是廚師,看來是父親坐鎮餐館,她和母親則來夜街經營小吃攤,招牌明顯寫著『長豐餐館分店』,藉著在夜街展示手藝好為餐館招攬常客。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「我還在學習中,母親的哲學是——好醬汁才有好料理。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「味道真的很不錯,學會這個絕對不會餓到肚子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「大河啊!你為什麼要拒絕塔爾林斯閣下的邀約,那可是千載難逢的好機會,哥哥一定羨慕死了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我有自己的理由,況且,學劍什麼的我沒多大興趣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「在城裡生活很安全,不過,在荒野中行走,劍術最好還是學學。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「我父親就是因為劍術不行只敢走大道,偏僻村落就不太去了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「擔心碰上惡獸嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「盜匪比較可怕,雖然他們咒術不行,但是結夥持械搶劫時有所聞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「沒錯,大道有衛士巡邏,盜匪比較不敢接近,小路就很難說。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我盡量不去犯險,遇上也不覺得自己會輸,就算打不過逃跑我也很行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">私下試過狂暴,一經催動,移動速度變得非常快,我似乎非常擅長這個咒術。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吃完盤飱,夏美收拾著說:「我們也該走了,母親交待要早點回家,也不能老是聊天耽擱妳們生意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我再次向南芙梅絲和帕納蘿夫人致謝,與夏美繼續逛街。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不好意思,今天都讓夏美請客。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「都說過是給大河的答禮。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不過是舉手之勞,那我被妳們救了,該怎麼報答啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嘿~那就好好工作,幫我們分擔點辛勞呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「或許真該答應塔爾林斯,如果多賺一點錢,就能回饋給亞叔了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「父親才不會在意那點錢,有你在店裡幫忙,他還樂得輕鬆,只是母親肯答應大河留下很意外,她以前怎都不肯僱請長期幫手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夫人會答允,認知上大概是短期的吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「晚餐時,父親說你一直住下都沒關係,母親也沒反對哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那可不行,我不想那麼賴皮。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一直住在閨女隔壁也是問題,雖然這幾天來薇薇兒已經不再抱怨。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你的個性好糾結,失憶以前也是這樣嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大概吧!我覺得以前自己就是這樣——夏美~夜街攤子似乎……都是肉品居多?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!去年麥子欠收,現在又是青黃不接,來源不穩價格又高,反而肉類料理多些。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這時節才開耕沒多久,收成之前只能依靠有限的庫存,誰家有貨誰的生意就能做下去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「說起來,我們餐館好像也是這樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯~庫存嚴重不足,父親正在慎重考慮,過幾天是否要去底里多批貨,因為麥子比較重,到時候可以請大河幫忙嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然可以!為什麼亞叔還要慎重考慮?不去不行吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「剛剛南芙梅絲提到的盜匪,曾經在那條大道上出沒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「膽子也太大了點吧?襲擊大道容易被巡邏衛隊逮到吧?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">盜匪嗎?商旅精靈的大敵,但也不是沒有對策,集結商隊一多,抵禦力量也強一分。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來到新梅堡村剛過中午時分,應該是村民的午休時間,看起來卻有股騷動,許多衛士正在盤問村民,我慶幸沒讓梅琳進村。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我——艾莉絲和小蕾也被盤問,原來是搜尋小修的搜索隊員,我們早有準備說詞,衛士對到金盾訪親的理由完全沒有興趣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">先找了間餐飲店坐下,衛士們大動作搜索,我和小蕾就不方便進行調查,索性先休息,推測衛士尚未得到有效的訊息。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾看著外頭的往來走動說:「拿茲有認真在調查哩!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「畢竟小修身分很特殊。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「剛剛衛士盤問用的畫像,我注意到有被更正。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒錯,尖耳被塗改成圓耳,茶褐髮色註記被劃掉,另寫一個『黑』字。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這樣找起來比較有希望,不知道是哪一位大臣發現的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">應該只有王城的陛下或大臣才見過我和小修,我自覺要小心以免暴露身分。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">才剛剛這樣想著,就立刻被認出啦——隔著窗子,外頭一位女性精靈注意到我,彼此都露出驚訝的表情。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾立刻比個手勢,示意對方不要張揚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">是修特羅里王國的靈術士,也是聖女的貼身護衛——安潔兒閣下,她遣開身邊衛士走進店內。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾讓了個位置,並先開口提醒:「安潔兒閣下,我們身分不方便洩露。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒點點頭,低聲說道:「真是意外,居然能在這裡見到小艾公主,這裝扮是想暗中調查嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是啊!拿茲不希望我留在這裡,可是我也不要回去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「我明白公主的思念之情,儘量配合,在下不行禮,請見諒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「幫了大忙還請隨意,閣下怎麼會在這裡?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是聖女大人派在下趕來協助的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「桃花真有心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女大人拿著駐使的信就哭了出來,我和野津閣下都很不捨,我也是第一次看到聖女大人驚慌失措的樣子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和小蕾無言對視,沒想到桃花用情如此深厚,小修真的是情債高築。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「辛苦了安潔兒閣下,可是王城安全沒問題嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有野津在不會有事的,還得感謝修閣下剷除威脅,王城才能安全無虞,修閣下是聖女伴侶,在下趕來協助也是應該,聖女大人還鄭重發了國書給拿茲陛下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「這下子拿茲壓力更大了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">居然由一國之主發出正式國書,看來桃花卯足了全力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「幸虧我來了,那張告示圖太離譜,怎可能靠那個找到修閣下,我一來就要求他們全都改了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「原來是閣下幫的忙,我們不方便出面指正,都不知道該怎麼辦。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「公主怎麼到這裡來?不如在藍之湖或金盾等候結果。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們找遍北岸,昨天才轉來南岸。沒有小修的消息,我也坐不住。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「公主看似有些疲憊,可千萬別累倒啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「我打算讓公主今晚好好休息,新梅堡村的住宿水準好多了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「我在藍之湖城務廳聽說魯迪因德也派了特使過來,好像是個靈術士,現在應該是在金盾王城,猜是去施壓好讓拿茲持續認真搜索。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「遇上這事,拿茲也很倒楣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「公主現在這模樣,應該還沒有進展吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「的確沒有,梅琳還在村外搜索,她不方便跟著,閣下有消息嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒回答得乾脆,我和小蕾都興奮得歡呼出聲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「都鎮定點,不是要隱藏身分嗎?公主也別哭啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,我忍不住,現在小修在哪?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「並不是十分充裕的消息,無法確定是修閣下,只是猜測可別一廂情願。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「猜測?」感覺語氣上安潔兒有些不好說。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「公主姑且聽聽就好,村民謠傳著御龍劍士出現。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如果能夠認出黑髮圓耳的特徵,是小修的機率很高。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在村子裡嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是……我先說前頭,這不一定是真的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒吞吞吐吐的,令我起了疑心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「到底怎麼回事?請直說無妨。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……有狩獵精靈帶回消息,說御龍劍士帶領盜匪集團,襲擊商隊。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「盜匪?小修?不可能,他絕對不可能做這種事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不相信,主人的靈格高尚,才不會當盜匪。」小蕾也大叫著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「公主稍安勿躁,在下也不認為是真的,只不過既然沒有別的線索,我想打聽打聽,或許能循線找到修閣下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「能向那個狩獵精靈多問點詳情嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「問題就在這裡,那個獨居狩獵精靈,不巧昨天離開村子,村長說有報備要去林子打獵,估計最快今晚回來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以要等到晚上嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只能等了,衛士沒能查到那個狩獵精靈會去哪一個林子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們可以去狩獵精靈的家裡等嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒搖搖頭:「衛士們已經在那兒等著,妳們要冒險出面嗎?我沒有權利叫衛士們離開,但是請公主放心,訊問時我也會在場。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「陌生精靈旁聽的確很奇怪,如果扮做安潔兒的隨從,方便嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「這……不行吧?扮做隨從也太委曲公主。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「完全不必在意,我很希望能第一時間聽到小修的消息。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「如果是公主的期待,在下自當大力幫忙。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「等等……公主別又哭呀!公主與聖女也算一家,在下盡力幫忙是應該的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾嘆了口氣:「小修還真會讓公主操心。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「小修?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾摀著嘴:「抱歉,我是說修閣下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我幫忙掩飾:「平常在家我們都不用禮語,是小修要求用小名稱呼的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「難怪,總覺得蕾菲亞娜小姐和修閣下也非常親近。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾尷尬地笑了笑:「抱歉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒不知道小修與小蕾的關係,平時精明的小蕾,大概是聽到有小修的消息,一時動搖就給忘了矜持。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「我不會打小報告啦!那房舍同條街上有家旅館,公主不妨就近入住,那狩獵精靈一旦回來,我也方便立刻通報。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「悉聽安排。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「公主請隨我來,我也住那家旅館,彼此好照應。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">早點入住也好,兩天的奔波,著實腿有點酸,多點時間休息恢復也快。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒帶領我們前去旅館,一路上訴說她到拿茲的經過,聖女會派親信過來,足見她對小修的重視。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">經過狩獵精靈屋舍時,果然已經有衛士在裡頭等候,小蕾也發現梅琳就在那間房舍的屋頂上,我偷偷示意讓她隨我們而來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾辦理入住手續的當下,安潔兒對我說:「公主請先安心休息,在下還想多方探聽,一有消息也會讓公主知道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「多謝安潔兒閣下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不過,在下希望公主旁聽訊問時可得自制,要是又哭起來可就傷腦筋了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~我盡量自制。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒知道我們的房間位置之後,隨即道別離開旅館。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾進入房間之後,立刻打開窗戶讓梅琳進來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳:「真沒想到妳們會和安潔兒在一起。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是碰巧遇到,聖女派她過來協助找尋小修,她答應幫忙隱暪身分。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾問道:「梅琳怎麼會在那裡?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳:「我沒找到小修氣味,發覺村裡騷動,擔心會有危險就悄悄潛入來見妳們。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾一五一十地轉告安潔兒的情報,梅琳也認為小修成了盜匪不可思議。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「總之,小艾先睡一下,早出晚歸休息又少,真擔心妳會先累倒,梅琳~妳陪小艾,我去採買一些吃的用的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我爽快的答應,也明白體力很重要,找到小修之前自己可不能先累倒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">外頭又開始下起細雨,滴答滴答的雨聲好似催眠曲,疲累令我迅速進入夢鄉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這一睡,我把少掉的睡眠全給補了回來,一覺到隔天清晨。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞擔心的小混混們並未再上門,塔爾林斯出現是非常有效的威嚇,『與靈劍士熟識』的假象,對順風餐館相當於一層看不見的保護罩。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這天,冬米爾又跑來了,而且還穿著俠士制服,他對櫃台的我揮手招呼過,就跑到夏美身邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聽說那些小混混又出現——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你已經知道了呀?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妹妹告訴我的,有沒有怎麼樣?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒事,他們看到塔爾林斯閣下就像見到鬼,還多給了飯錢就逃走了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可惡,不好好說說不行,都不知道已經第幾次,這次居然亮劍,是違法啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美走到櫃台放好抹布,對我嫣然一笑:「是大河拆穿他們的把戲,而且閣下還說,有大河在,對付這些小流氓也沒問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她的無意一笑,笑出了冬米爾的醋意,不甘心地瞪著我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘆了一口氣:「我什麼都沒做,冬米爾君加油。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「加油什麼?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒事!」「沒事。」我們異口同聲,唉~冬米爾還是很膽小。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美不理采我們,收拾碗盤端進廚房。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾小聲對我說:「你別強出頭啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我一點都沒打算要出頭,是情勢所逼。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「越來越糟,夏美一定會喜歡大河,聽說你還住在夏美隔壁。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那也不是我能選擇的,還有,你要是擔心就認真幫我找找家眷呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「我天天都在找,沒有就是沒有,我還巴不得你趕緊回家。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對嘛!我們有共識,我不會糾纏夏美,你別擔心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「我才不擔心你,我擔心的是夏美……是夏美呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~好吧!就我這幾天觀察,夏美對我的好,就如同把流浪小貓撿回家,會覺得有義務好好關照,好像……當成自己的孩子照顧。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「咦?莫非這個就是天生的母性?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你們兩個在說什麼悄悄話呀?」夏美突然出現,嚇了我們一跳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒事。」「沒……沒事!」我們異口同聲,冬米爾還是高八度顫抖回應。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「你們倆感情真不錯,冬米爾君可別干擾大河工作。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾怯聲說著:「不會,不會,我馬上就回去了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">又有兩位客人進門,夏美上前去招呼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘆了口氣:「冬米爾君在夏美面前這麼膽小,先不提我,萬一隨便有個條件不錯的年輕精靈追求夏美,你大概就沒機會了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾也跟著嘆一口氣:「不用你說我也知道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他又更靠近我:「那個,偷偷告訴你,我妹妹有向我打聽你啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「南芙梅絲?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「她一直在問我,你和夏美是不是在交往。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「老實告訴她就行了,有什麼好隱暪的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在夜街時,夏美就已經對南芙梅絲否認過,不過,南芙梅絲似乎不太相信,還再一次向冬米爾求証。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你真遲鈍,是南芙梅絲喜歡你啦!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「要是我已經締結靈線,就算花上一輩子我也要設法找到羈絆者,如果沒有,那我至少會等個十年,就算有交往對象,十年空等應該也會放棄吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那十年後呢?萬一夏美喜歡你呢?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾表情更複雜:「可惡!幫了你,我還得感謝你……」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾揮手道別,又和夏美打個招呼,便快步離開餐館。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美走過來說:「你們真有的聊,說了什麼啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「冬米爾君說喜歡一個女孩,問我該怎麼辦。」我想稍為試探一下。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈哈~很不錯啊!他終於開竅了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誒?妳很開心?」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一丁點嫉妒之情都沒有,我不禁為冬米爾的未來操心,只能寄望夏美還未能動情。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我決定再加上一道保險。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「冬米爾君還問我會不會考慮男女之情。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果有締結靈線,一輩子都不考慮,要是沒有,至少也要等個廿年,好讓交往對象忘記我而死心。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">算是為了冬米爾,我偷偷加碼十年,仁至義盡。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">抱歉,亂入不屬於我的生活已經相當過分,我盡力不去破壞他人原本的幸福。</span></span></div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-7c2dd967-e74c-52f3-1d5d-03204b5d94ed"><span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">姑且不提法律未有明文禁止,在精靈世界擁有多位伴侶非常罕見,已有羈絆者的精靈會有其他伴侶更是聞所未聞,小修在政治方面受到肯定,私生活評價就差了些,一般來說,相較於靈劍士,聖女靈格更加無可懷疑,不知情者都認為花心責任在於小修。</span></span></span></div>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-7c2dd967-e74c-52f3-1d5d-03204b5d94ed">
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">自從修特羅里王國回到里德修拉的梅竹郡府之後,我與小修共渡一個多月的尷尬日子,眾所皆知的表面就是小修擁有兩位妻子,一個是身為羈絆者的我——艾莉絲,另一個則是修特羅里的統治者——聖女桃花,雖然說只是聖女單方面愛上小修。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩位妻子也非謊言,以締結靈線的意義而言,另一位真正的妻子是靈龍少女小蕾——蕾菲亞娜,這是個不能說的秘密,公告妻子不是小蕾,我覺得對她很委曲,但是小蕾自己卻毫不在意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">有受到委曲的,也有非常開心的,開心的莫過於利德納陛下與阿德列斯城主,對於失去安達魯城的魯迪因德王國而言,南方邊境從此安全無虞,簽訂的百年和平條約,也是有史以來最長的和約。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯與小修會面時,搔著頭不知所措,一來是他不知道該給什麼獎賞才足夠,二來小修被迫成為伴侶,有一半原因是他造成的,最後還是小修給了下台階,『獎賞就暫且記在牆上吧!』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在四月中,阿德列斯給我一個任務,就是與克羅夫曼王子共同訪問拿茲王國,這是利德納與阿德列斯的好意,實際上的政治會商由克羅夫曼負責,我和小修只是露個面,用意是得以暫時離開里德修拉,讓時間沖淡『聖女伴侶』所造成的尷尬感。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們與克羅夫曼王子在布羅倪城會合,穿過斯地亞堪峽谷,進入拿茲王國的藍之湖城,然後搭乘大型輪船,沿著蘿納塞大河前往金盾王都,至此,這趟任務順利完成,我與小修也愉快地享受這趟旅程。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">非常不幸,回程途中輪船遇上暴風雨,即使小蕾能夠御風,也保不了偌大的輪船,為了搭救同船乘客,小修被捲入河裡失蹤,這對拿茲來說是個大災難,因為小修是魯迪因德公主的羈絆者,又是修特羅里聖女的伴侶,拿茲陛下緊急下令,從沿河的藍之湖城、金盾王都與葉布羅城,派出正規衛士部隊大規模搜索。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修肯定是受了重傷,因為小蕾強制分擔他的傷害,即使只有一半傷害,我和查理德叔叔、靈狐梅琳也幾乎耗盡了所有力量,總算才把小蕾給救了回來,這意味著與小蕾生命同步的小修,再一次因為靈龍的誓約之力而得救。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使如此,醒來後的小蕾卻一直無法呼喚到誓約者,我們不曉得究竟出了什麼事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">拿茲王國催促著克羅夫曼與我先行返國,並允諾會持續搜索,畢竟,他國王子與公主加上數百名衛士長期滯留在國境之內也是個大問題。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德叔叔利用空馬車掩飾,我與小蕾偷偷離隊上路,親自找尋自己的夫君和主人。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">為了隱蔽身分而投宿在藍之湖的小旅館內,陪著我睡的是小蕾,代替小修梅琳總是待在屋頂監哨。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">深夜裡,內心的不安令我醒了過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別哭,我們會找到小修的,都約定過要共度一輩子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對不起,吵醒了小蕾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒關係,我和小艾一樣都在擔心著。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不懂,為什麼小修收不到小蕾的呼喚。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也不知道,最壞的狀況是他昏迷著,就算是那樣,我也應該知道才對。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳也說過,在一、兩個王國範圍之內,誓約靈獸早晚都能找著誓約主人,小蕾在這方面的能力應該更優秀才對,但她現在是束手無策。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呼喚是怎麼辦到的呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「透過誓約,我在小修內心的存在,能讓他聽到我的聲音。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「難道現在小修心裡沒有小蕾的存在,有這個可能嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……小修不會故意忘了我們,或許是發生了什麼事而被迫忘記。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「被迫?是因為受傷嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「身體的傷害應該沒有,但是腦子裡就不知道,我剛醒過來時也是頭暈暈的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「失去記憶?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖然很不想承認,如果小修忘記我,理論上我就沒法把龍聲傳遞給他。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只能靠我們找到他嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「平安無事就好,即使失憶,只要活得好好的總有一天會找到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「說不定小修又在撩惹誰家的少女心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉呀~那可就糟了,我實在擔心他的異性緣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們相視而笑,小修在這方面真是糟糕透頂,幾次經驗他也該要有自覺才是,萬一不幸失憶,就很難說能否記取教訓。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「連桃花都這樣,恐怕……」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">披上連帽斗篷和小蕾一起出門,第一件事就是先到布羅倪設在藍之湖城的辦事處,透過處長的協助,取得一份詳盡地圖與一輛騾車,打算扮作商旅精靈,但我們謝絕了護衛安排,陣容越大我的身分就越容易洩露。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾邊走邊檢視地圖:「從藍之湖一直找到葉布羅,金盾王都剛好在中間,路上有十幾個大大小小的村莊,比較大的是新梅堡村和卡里克村。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有沒有可能被沖到比葉布羅更遠的地方呢?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「蘿納塞大河在葉布羅城附近有個閘口,輪船通行時才會開啟,小修失蹤後,那裡被嚴加看管,不太可能會越過。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">是藍之湖城的城務廳大門口。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們沒打算進去吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是進去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我拉著小蕾走向佈告欄,「我們找找有關小修的情報。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾指著中央一份通告:「在這裡,御龍劍士,誒——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哇!這誰啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我會大叫是有原因的,通告畫像中的面容輪廓確實有像小修,但是重要特徵全被徹底修改,圓耳變成尖耳,眼睛圓了,鼻子小了,罕見的黑髮也被註記成相近的茶褐色。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">畫師並未親眼見過小修,不明白人類長相的獨特之處,以精靈的角度自作主張描畫就成了這副模樣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾搖著頭:「畫師把小修當成精靈,差異當然很大。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是說啊~搜索隊怎麼可能按這張畫像找到小修啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原本小修應該很容易被認出來才對,到最後還是得靠我們自己。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">尋常百姓只會關注自己居所附近的失蹤精靈,對於他國精靈幾乎不會多加在意,畢竟『事不關己』,即使小修貴為靈劍士,對百姓而言頂多就是個話題而已,原本還期望小修的特異相貌能吸引普羅大眾注意,但現在期望恐怕是要落空了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可惜沒把小修的『照片』帶在身上,否則肯定不會畫得這麼離譜。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「看到『照片』,畫師會先昏倒吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那些珍藏的『照片』是在人間拍攝的,精靈沒有這種技術,人類科技真的很厲害。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先回旅館,如果梅琳沒有收穫,我們下午就離開藍之湖。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「回去之前再補一些乾糧,有些小村落連小餐館都沒有。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">其實給點錢還是能從一般精靈之家得到食宿,但是那可沒個準兒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們決定先找藍之湖到金盾這一段,蘿納塞大河的南岸有大道,有五個村落,精靈數也較多,如果有消息應該會較早傳出來,北岸則只有兩個小村落。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們決定先從北岸找起,因為拿茲搜索隊偏重南岸,或許就錯過了北岸某處,當然盡量避開搜索隊也是選擇北岸的原因之一,但是自從看過城務廳搜尋小修的告示單後,我們很懷疑拿茲的搜索能力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳果然沒有收穫,小修被沖往下游不太可能會回到藍之湖城,我們收拾行李離開旅館,出了北城門越過大橋,沿著蘿納塞大河河岸西行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如果小修在某處上岸,梅琳應該能嗅出氣味,但是大雨沖刷過後,能有幾分把握梅琳自己也說不上來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">風雨過後的岸邊,遠空乾淨風景綺麗,然而我與小蕾無心遊覽,一路不語。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">偶而小蕾會嘆氣,我知道她又在呼喚誓約主人,只是沒有任何回應,一次一次的呼喚,累積成深深思念,一早我就看見她稍紅浮腫的眼圈,不知何時偷偷哭過,只是在我面前故作堅強。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">北岸兩個小村落僅有數個散戶,小得連村名都沒有,我重繪了小修樣貌,一一詢問每位村民,答案都一樣,最近除了搜索隊之外,未曾有任何陌生精靈出沒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">村民唯一的異狀就是當看到小修的畫像時,很懷疑地反問怎麼會有如此長相的精靈,那驚愕表情反而証明村民真的沒見過小修。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳仍然一無所得,每當進入村子之前,她就獨自行動,把村子外圈搜索一遍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">除了村落,我們連可疑的樹林都不放過,有小蕾和梅琳在,惡獸也不敢隨意接近,雖然小蕾過幾天才能完全恢復力氣,但普通盜匪還不至於構成威脅。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">偶而遇到捕魚精靈也會上前詢問,但是我的心情也隨著一次次的搖頭而越加沈重。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「北岸真荒涼。」梅琳說著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「果然還是要以南岸為主比較好。」小蕾有點落寞。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「找不著也不算沒收穫,至少知道北岸沒有小修蹤跡。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">北岸兩個村落以漁為主,都很靠近河邊,我們來回仔細找尋大約三天左右,南岸大道有五個村落,離岸邊有段距離,居住精靈也多,搜索起來要花上不少功夫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾~早點沐浴就寢,養足精神。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修有受傷嗎?」小蕾可能早就確認過,我還是忍不住問出口。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾抱著我:「他沒事的,放輕鬆點,一直緊張著,沒兩天自己就先垮了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯——小蕾身上有小修的味道。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不清楚,我沒那個記憶。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哥哥說學劍術要把『狂暴術』一起學,單純的劍術威力遠遠不夠。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「狂暴術?我也沒有印象。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉喲~你的記憶還真不可靠。」南芙梅絲別過頭:「哥哥~你學會狂暴術沒有?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「當然,我再努力一點就可以持續半炷時間,很厲害吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他說很厲害是對著夏美說的,可惜夏美對這種話題一點興趣都沒有。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾接著又說:「只不過一句咒文而已,並不難學。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「我和夏美都沒天分,雖然會用,也就是一下子而已,然後就好累好累~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一句咒文而已……嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「我試給你們看——以利達卡為名,神力降臨,敵前破障!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他撿起一個小石塊,兩手用力合拍,然後打開手掌,小石塊已經變成一堆碎屑。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「以利達卡為名,解除。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好厲害!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美這麼說著,但是語氣敷衍連我都聽得出來,冬米爾卻得意地笑著說——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~我要更厲害,至少做到默念就能發動,狂暴啟用後要記得解除,萬一忘記,等到被強制解除時,身體會癱到走不動。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">真的很厲害,那咒文好像是——以利達卡為名,神力降臨,敵前破障。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哇!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河?」「你怎麼了?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我的大叫引來了夏美和南芙梅絲的關注。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒事,我覺得冬米爾君很厲害而已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「你太誇張啦!哥哥才剛剛起步,不過是個小炫耀而已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,嚇到你們了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不,被嚇到是我自己,我現在全身感覺非常好,輕盈得似乎一跳就可以跳很高,體內有強烈的靈力反應,我握著拳,拍碎石塊大概也能做到。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">莫非,這就是狂暴術?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我再次默念——以利達卡為名,解除!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">怪異的感覺消失,身體回復到原來的沈重感,看來的確是這麼回事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然不太想打擾冬米爾與夏美的談話,但是我有更重要的問題。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那個,冬米爾君,能請教個問題嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哦——大河是想學劍術嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是的,我聽說有一種精靈術,能知道周圍精靈的動向,冬米爾君也會嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「應該是『索敵術』,這個我也會,就算閉上眼也能數出廿步距內有幾個精靈喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「廿步距?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我才學會沒多久,聽說最厲害的有四百步距,初學時的索敵反應與皮球大小差不多,聽說靈劍士等級的,能清楚出現身影。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">四百步距?評估自己周遭的索敵反應,豈止四百步距,而且整個廣場上的精靈都能顯現出與身體同等大小形態的反應,難不成我很擅長這個『索敵術』?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">甚至還有冬米爾沒提到的,索敵身形之中能夠顯示靈力流動的強弱。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那個索敵術需要關閉嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「停止自身靈力流動就能關閉,靈力不足就會自動解除,供給靈力就能持續作用。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲笑道:「哥哥說得真詳細,不過,好像是解釋給夏美聽的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「說給我聽也沒用,聽起來好像很不錯,學得會就不怕店裡遭小偷。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「劍士的本領用來提防小偷,還真是大材小用。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「注意,靈劍士塔爾林斯閣下到囉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「閣下矮了半個頭,體型上就輸了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「那可不一定,狂暴術加上劍術,合起來的威力才是全部。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我端詳著兩位劍士,說:「刻意挑戰靈劍士嗎?為什麼要做這種事?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「嬴了就有機會被薦舉成為靈劍士,從此翻身成為貴族。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「身分地位財富,挑戰靈劍士也是我的夢想。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲壞笑著:「等冬米爾成為靈劍士,說不定夏美就會喜歡上哥哥囉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美叫著:「胡說,絕對不要,羈絆者玩劍打鬥的,我才沒興趣,太危險了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾俊美的表情扭曲了一下,我看到了,不對,不是看到,而是他的動作身影清楚出現在索敵反應裡,我閉著眼也能知道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">挑戰的劍士自報姓名——富良多士.拿茲,塔爾林斯貴為靈劍士,卻能謙遜地回禮,令我頗有好感。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">周圍自動安靜下來,這場面大概有兩、三百名精靈圍觀。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩方都取出雙劍,沒有裁判,塔爾林斯只說了一句,「你動手就算開始」,富良多士行了禮,不客氣地持劍剌出,塔爾林斯不含糊,幾乎是同時出劍,劍光殘影來回交錯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「好快。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「真的,我都看不清楚,大河,你覺得怎麼樣?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這個?該怎麼說……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我的支支吾吾,冬米爾誤以為是說不出所以然,便代為接話:「他們都有百餘年修煉,我大約感覺是不相上下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美對著我說:「大河,有想起什麼嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「大河看起來比我更年輕,我們的程度想看明白有點勉強。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「我總覺得如果是大河就能看懂。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我很感激,夏美關心的不是比賽,她希望我能喚回記憶,雖然不太想拂冬米爾的意,但我決定老實地好好回答。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「看起來差不多快,但是富良多士已到極限,塔爾林斯閣下挺有餘裕,雖然在後退,卻是在卸除對方力道,眼睛有注視對方破綻,看起來只是防守沒有攻擊,但出擊都能後發先至,我認為明顯是塔爾林斯閣下佔上風。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯似乎望了我一眼,是聽到我說的話嗎?為了讓夏美聽清楚,我確實大聲了點。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾有些錯愕:「喂~大河不是隨便說說的吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美笑道:「我還不曾見過大河說謊。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">纏鬥繼續著,如我所說,塔爾林斯不斷後退繞圈子,卻始終沒有敗象,也沒有被逼退到場外。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雙方來回攻防,場外不斷拍手歡呼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「富良多士在喘,恐怕塔爾林斯閣下就要反擊了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我話說完沒多久,塔爾林斯就轉守為攻,打落對方左劍,但富良多士順勢故意引誘,右劍突然急剌想趁隙一舉反攻。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我心中一嘆,不可能反攻的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯果然藏有餘力,身形突然加快,雙劍速度與力量同時爆發,將富良多士的右劍硬生生給震脫離手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">全場嘩然——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不是勝負已分,而是那離手的右劍直往觀眾席飛了過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不妙,這劍撲去的方向正是夏美。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——以利達卡為名,神力降臨,敵前破障。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">心念自然而然啟動狂暴,反射動作快得連我自己都詫異。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我猛跳起身撲向夏美,即使隔著南芙梅絲,速度也沒有慢下來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">伸出右臂,與飛來的短劍相擊,哐噹作響,短劍瞬間彈回廣場。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我呼了口氣緩緩坐回,發現冬米爾、夏美和南芙梅絲都睜大眼張著嘴,癡癡地看著我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">總覺應該要說點什麼:「喔……坐前排還真危險。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲抓住我的衣袖大叫:「你在說什麼呀!有沒怎樣?受傷了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我拉開袖口露出護套,他們才晃然大悟。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">富良多士走過來也看見護套,對著我說:「多謝,在下一時不慎,差點釀成大禍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我搖手示意沒事,他撿回右劍,回到場中向塔爾林斯行禮,承認敗場隨即離去,畢竟是輸家,一刻都不想多留。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看著夏美他們驚愕著,我小聲說道:「決鬥結束,可以回去了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請留步!」過來說話的是塔爾林斯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他的目光似乎是朝著我,我指了指自己,懷疑他是否在叫住我,塔爾林斯點了點頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「閣下有事?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「幸虧有你擋著才沒讓這位少女受傷,敢問大名?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我叫大河。」不是故意報上假名,忘記本名真是抱歉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河先生~非常凌厲的速度,有狂暴加持嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大概吧!一時情急,我自己也不太清楚。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「頗有潛力,有興趣學劍嗎?在下聽見大河先生的解說,十分正確。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然,戰鬥中還有餘裕傾聽周圍聲音,非常厲害。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,在下工作忙碌難有時間學習,況且,我也沒有劍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">失憶的我對自己都不了解,此時拜師學藝並不合適。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這護套還挺奧妙的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是用來防身的。」我原本不知道它的功能,但是我現在明白了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯看向夏美,深深一鞠躬:「抱歉,在下學藝不精差點傷到小姐,需要賠償還請開口。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美小小驚慌失措:「閣……閣下,不用……完全沒事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可否請教尊名。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美……夏美.拿茲。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美小姐受到驚嚇非常過意不去,請容在下誠心道歉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒……沒事,一點傷都沒有。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那好。」塔爾林斯轉對我說:「今日幸會,有緣再見,大河這名字我記住了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">千萬別記住啊!我一點都不想惹事,嘆了口氣,自個兒倒是意外地鎮靜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使塔爾林斯遠去,夏美仍然混亂,懾於靈劍士的地位嗎?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在順風旅館裡頭,我默默吃著晚餐,亞爾寇文正挨著罵。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一向嚴厲要求的母親,總是護著孩子的父親,上下關係很明確。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美偷偷瞪了弟弟一眼,靠著神奇的索敵反應,我不必看就知道她的動作。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">被嚴厲的母親瞪著,我不澄清可不行:「就算那是約會,主角也絕不是我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞與薇薇兒聽我這麼說,疑惑地看著夏美。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美嘆了口氣:「你們都別亂說,不是去玩也不是約會,是南芙梅絲和冬米爾帶我們去看靈劍士決鬥啦!再說,該做的事我們也都有確實做好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「南芙梅絲這孩子很強勢,想拒絕她真有點困難。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「保護什麼啊?要不是大河,我今天差點就受傷了,冬米爾就在我旁邊,卻嚇得什麼事都做不了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美噘著嘴:「小文別亂說話,什麼約會呀!我一點交往的意思都沒有,還有——要稱呼冬米爾君,他可是俠士哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那狡狤的笑容我可是很清楚,「不,即使飛劍朝冬米爾君或南芙梅絲小姐飛去,我要做的事也不會有改變,此外,我在取回記憶之前,絕不會投入任何男女感情之事,說不定我已經有羈絆者,也或許有在交往的對象,我可不想有誰為我哭泣。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾沒理會夏美,反而是吃驚對我說:「真給你說中了,你怎麼知道夏美會來?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不對吧?難道你能認出夏美,還一直都開著索敵?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好像沒什麼影響,我也懶的理會那個索敵。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美用掃把敲冬米爾的頭:「你少過分,別害大河工作做不完。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這是虛榮心吧?我搖搖頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不喜歡被瞧著,更何況,在城裡很安全,沒機會用劍,大概。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那你手臂上那個護套?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「被亞叔救回來時,身上就只有這雙護套,我想應該是很重要的東西,而且它又不重,就一直戴著,沒想到真的派上用場。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「也就是說大河以前很有經驗。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「或許吧!就說我都不記得以前的事,是身體自己動起來的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只有劍士才會用狂暴和索敵,我還是認為大河就是劍士。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我說對劍沒興趣,並不是騙你的,而且我有種感覺,即使不用劍或其他武器,我也不見得會輸給劍士。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是啊!」我其實有種強烈的感覺,那護套對我的意義並不遜於劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誒!我對你越來越感興趣。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我停下打掃,看著冬米爾:「但是那個……我對男性沒興趣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「啊~你在說什麼,我是說對你的武藝感興趣啦!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那你得說清楚才行,比如說,自己喜歡誰,就要勇敢說出來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾嘆了一口氣,他知道我的意思,看來我也沒猜錯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他放下掃把,坐在椅子上,我繼續清掃,不想擔誤老闆的交代。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河~夏美怎麼樣?你喜歡夏美嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如此輕易就說出口,個性率直,可惜在夏美跟前就帥不起來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我很喜歡哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呃……這……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我的回答讓冬米爾有點難堪,我就是想看這個表情,好確認他的想法。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「果然是這樣,比起我,夏美應該會更喜歡你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以你打算放棄讓給我?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這個……我……沒辦法保護夏美,好不容易當上了俠士,她卻一點都不在意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「冬米爾君~很抱歉捉弄了你。夏美善良又溫柔,誰都不會討厭她,但是我的喜歡與小文的喜歡是同樣的,並非男女之情。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">總算冬米爾不再蹙眉,我繼續說著:「在根本上你就是搞錯,能不能保護,是不是俠士,與夏美選擇交往對象的條件都沒太大關係,要試著去做夏美喜歡的事,而不是你自己喜歡的事,否則,做得再多都沒有用,反過來說,如果你沒辦法做夏美所喜歡的,表示彼此合不來,那我奉勸早點放棄。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">戀愛是彼此的事,單方面耍帥太過自我意識,我是這麼認為的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾搔著頭:「大河的意思是,變強不是好事?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「又說錯了,我如果喜歡對方,也會努力變強去保護她,但這是我自己想做的,努力變強不一定能讓對方滿意,自我感覺良好是沒用的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河看起來比我小,卻意外地非常成熟,說不定失憶前真的有羈絆者或交往對象。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~我希望沒有,不然,我失蹤她一定很傷心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你是個溫柔的精靈,在夏美身邊太危險了,她一定會喜歡上你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我盡量不讓她誤解,而且我早對她們一家說過,回復記憶前我不會投入男女感情,萬一我和夏美在一起,最後卻發現無法締結靈線,那結果會很悲慘吧?雙方都是。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河考慮得好遠,我衷心希望你恢復記憶,而且還有羈絆者。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我莞爾一笑:「希望我有羈絆者是為了冬米爾君自己吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈哈~當然,這樣夏美就不會喜歡你,我就少了一個競爭對手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">率直又有點小聰明,不過,即使我不攪和,也不表示其他競爭對手不會出現。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我將視線移向冬米爾後方的房門口,揮手招呼:「夏美妳在啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾睜眼大吃一驚,迅速回頭大叫:「我沒有——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,不是夏美,是我看錯了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">發覺被騙,他臉羞紅得一塌糊塗,我繼續打掃著,提醒應該夠多了吧!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">對感情膽小的冬米爾君,沒有被推一把,大概很難有所進展。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">畢竟認識不久,我沒打算插手,亂點鴛鴦譜也不是我的興趣,況且這種事,由他妹妹南芙梅絲想辦法會更加適合。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">還有一個最為基本的問題,夏美才廿餘歲,雖說精靈廿歲之後才會動情,但並不表示夏美已經能夠動情,廿歲只不過是個參考值,或許冬米爾也有考慮到這一點,面對不會動情的精靈表白,被拒絕的機會幾乎是百分之百。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">回頭想想,我居然能理解這種事,莫非自己很有經驗?又開始有點頭疼,不知道是不是受傷的後遺症,似乎每隔一陣子耳邊就會響起奇怪的聲音,模模糊糊的聽不清楚,卻又覺得非常懷念,我加快清理速度,只有專心工作,內心才能保持平靜。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">午飯之後,我留在櫃台負責接待與收付,涉及金錢原本是薇薇兒的工作,交代給我也算是她對我的信任。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">為了打發時間,我拿起王都導覽研究,非常遺憾,我只識得一半不到的文字,也無所謂,我只是要記下街道圖,以免之後出門迷路回不來。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文不在家,他定期會到修道院上課,除了一般知識,也學習基本的生活咒術。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說起來有些丟臉,亞爾寇文能引出像蘋果大小的火焰咒,我依樣畫葫蘆,卻只能引出幾絲火苗,若不是小心捧著,一下子就熄滅了,看來,這並非我擅長的咒術。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒的事,偶而休息一下也不錯,況且,亞叔說這也算是……客房服務?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「真是瞎扯,我得唸他幾句才行,有其他事嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大聲吵鬧把薇薇兒引了過去,她護住兒子承受叫罵,緊張時刻羅都亞卻還在外頭辦事。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼回事?」我問著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~又是街上小混混,白吃白喝的,他們罵完就會離開,飯錢是收不著了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我讓夏美安撫其他顧客,自己前去關切,看到我高大的身材,吵鬧的食客一怔,又是繼續批評。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這桌有六個食客,點了不少料理,卻在最後一道湯裡,發現了一隻蒼蠅。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">仔細一看,餐點幾乎全部吃光,只剩下有問題的一碗湯而已,真是三流的白食手段,不過,對善良精靈來說是很有效的勒索,夏美話語之中,他們似乎還是慣犯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒不斷低頭道歉,我只是一旁不語陪著挨罵。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真的非常抱歉,這頓飯我們不收錢,還請見諒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳說什麼啊?不收錢?看到的蒼蠅就只有這一隻,我們不知道已經吃進多少隻,回去壞了肚子怎麼辦?妳要怎麼賠?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這已經不是不收錢的程度,似乎變本加厲還想討點零花。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兇形惡狀讓亞爾寇文害怕得緊摟母親。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒眉頭一皺:「你們的意思?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聽好了,吃壞肚子要吃藥,躺著休息沒法賺錢,生活開銷還是要的,各賠我們每個一枚銀幣,這次就算了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">真是削海了,羅都亞答應我的薪俸,一個月也不到一枚銀幣,連吃帶住算是大方的,六枚銀幣不是小數目,薇薇兒神情猶豫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一枚銀幣?這未免……吃壞幾十次肚子都夠治了,這是獅子大開口啊!以前你們只是不給錢而已……」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等,老闆娘是說我們栽贜,故意吃飯不給錢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,我不是這個意思。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳仔細看看,湯裡那蒼蠅還會動,可不是我們打死丟進去的哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒錯,我們都親眼看著牠飛啊飛的,就飛進湯裡頭了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳餐廳不乾淨,怎麼做生意啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小混混輪流接力砲轟,也算是熟練。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這可稀奇了,難不成這蒼蠅還幫著這幾個小混混,自個兒飛進去?而且,一般都是端出來的菜餚裡有蒼蠅才是大問題,吃的時候飛進去,食客自己也有一丁點責任吧?否則外頭露天攤販可就難活了,話說回來,賴皮是小混混的天性,正當性一點都不重要。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我仔細檢視蒼蠅,果然在湯裡垂死掙扎,的確還是活的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不過,我噗的一聲會心一笑。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你這傢伙怎麼回事?沒見過蒼蠅嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「說不定就你這傢伙髒,把蒼蠅給帶進來的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">混混們你一句我一句,不停地在數落我,不說話也會中槍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒也說:「大河回去廚房,我處理就好,你別管這事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「廚房?說不定就是這叫大河的傢伙,把蒼蠅弄進湯裡的,你可別想逃走。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我微笑地說:「剛剛不是說都親眼看著蒼蠅飛進去的嗎?怎又變成我弄的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說溜嘴的混混怔了一下,自覺說錯了話:「我故意的,的確是蒼蠅自己飛進去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我拿起湯匙,把蒼蠅給撈了起來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夫人請看,這蒼蠅沒翅膀,不知道是怎麼飛的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒定睛瞧著湯匙裡的蒼蠅,說:「真的~剛才是誰看著蒼蠅飛進去的呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「蒼蠅翅膀肯定掉在湯裡被我們給吃下肚。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哎呀!這下肯定會壞肚子,妳到底要怎麼賠?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">真是強詞奪理,但我心裡頭更在意另外一件事,只是現在沒空理會。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我把湯匙放在桌上:「這蒼蠅翅膀不是掉落,而是被利器給切斷的,整齊的切痕就是証據,不過,在下真心佩服,這不但很耗工夫,手勁也非常靈巧。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">混混們都呆住了,但其中一個嘴角彎了一下,但又馬上回復兇形惡狀。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我心裡有底,注視那位偷笑的精靈:「請問,在下說得對嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然,那精靈有點尷尬,怯懦地不敢回答。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我看你們是不想賠,小子想出頭是吧?今天不教訓你是不行了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最壯碩的那位混混拿出懷裡的短劍,薇薇兒和亞爾寇文都嚇得尖叫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我扶著她們後退,說:「放心,不會有事的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">壯碩混混只是取出短劍,但是沒能再說下去,也沒有後續動作,其他五個混混一動也不敢動,個個面如灰土。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為有一把短劍橫生生架在壯碩混混的脖子上,速度之快,混混們毫無防備。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「未得允許,在王都眾目睽睽之下拿出短劍,意圖傷害手無寸鐵的無辜百姓,依律法可斬斷手臂,不對,在下有權當場擊殺。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">能這麼硬幹的,也只有靈級士才行,在他踏進店門的時候,我就注意到了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我放開薇薇兒和亞爾寇文,作揖鞠躬行禮:「塔爾林斯閣下,承蒙相救非常感謝,大河在此有禮了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔爾林斯笑道:「晚上好,大河先生,又見面了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾——原名蕾菲亞娜的靈龍少女,呈半昏迷狀態躺在床上,房間內還有我——艾莉絲與叔叔查理德,我的誓約靈狐梅琳守在一旁。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我持續以療癒術治療小蕾,一定要成功,否則我會同時失去小蕾與最愛的羈絆者——小修,也不能讓叔叔離開,萬一我撐不下去,就得由叔叔接力治療。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德神情焦慮:「我不懂啊!為什麼蕾菲亞娜一直無法治好?都已經大半天過去,而且妳居然沒先找尋小修,實在令我意外。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">已經忘了是多少炷時間之前,我們使節團搭乘的輪船遇上暴風雨,船員不斷奮力舀出進水,即使是大船,也搖晃得非常厲害。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">船員大呼小叫,搶救破裂的左弦艙板,那一區有數個同船旅遊的小精靈,慌亂之餘,小修和小蕾主動前往協助帶領小精靈退到安全區域。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">中途卻發生了意外,船壁又破了一個大洞,一名小精靈眼見就被波浪給捲走,小修挺身擋在破洞口阻止,未料洞口突然被浪濤衝裂得更大,雖然小精靈被及時拉走,附近的小修卻被捲出艙外。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當我和小蕾趕到時,已不見小修蹤影,小蕾馬上開始找尋,但她的風卻無法在水底作用,事出緊急小修沒帶佩劍,無法感應到位置,小蕾轉而感應小修的狀態,發現他頭部受到撞擊昏迷過去,還有溺斃的立即危險,小蕾牽著我的手,『拜託了!』,隨即便昏倒在我身上,額頭出現傷口不停流血,隨後我就一直在為她治療。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">治療是有效的,卻一直在好轉與惡化之間徘徊,我明白,那是小修的生命正受到威脅,小蕾是他的誓約者,持續在為誓約主人分擔傷害,小蕾時而手臂紅腫,時而額頭流血,而且還在發燒,我與小蕾最後的對話是兩炷時間前——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『小蕾,受不了就暫時停止分擔。』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『不行……危險……之後靠小艾……拜託……』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說完小蕾再度陷入昏迷,他倆的誓約是同生共死,其中一個死去,另一個也無法獨活,即使身為羈絆者的我,也有點嫉妒這樣的主僕關係。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見我沈默,查理德叔叔又再問一次,我這才回神。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「也不知道該怎麼告訴叔叔,我答應過要尊重小修和小蕾的秘密,總之,只要小蕾不死,小修就還活著,他們倆的生命……是同步的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這……太奇怪了,怎麼會有這樣的關係啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是這麼回事,小蕾現在的樣子,就是小修的樣子,所以我必須全力救下小蕾,只要小修不死總會回到我身邊的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~不懂,要不是你硬拉著,我也想要和克羅夫曼殿下一起尋找小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不知道小蕾還需要多久才能穩定,但是我不敢睹上運氣,與叔叔交替治療,以免靈力耗盡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">暴風雨已經停了,克羅夫曼王子至今尚未回訊,也就是還沒找到小修。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是小修一定還活著,傷害不斷被小蕾分擔就是証據。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使流著淚為小蕾治療,我也不敢大意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳緊跟身邊,用心語術安慰著:【還有我在,絕不會讓小修和小蕾死的。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我點點頭,梅琳特殊的療癒方式是小修和小蕾的最後一道保險。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我,在黑暗之中,意外地,不但不害怕,感覺還非常熟悉,遠方有一點光亮,誒?我應該知道那是什麼才對,卻怎麼都想不起來,光點越來越遠,周圍陷入真正的黑暗。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我感到不安,隱約之中,有重要的人,那是——想不起來,只知道有重要的存在,卻不明白是誰,感覺好悲傷,好孤獨。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">耳邊響起甜美的女聲:『……休戚與共,誓同生死……』,熟悉的聲音,究竟是誰?我努力回想著,就算是一點點也好。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我越來越恐慌,腦子裡是一個接著一個的身影,卻沒任何一張臉能夠看清楚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">越是去想頭就越痛,終於忍不住大叫……</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">啊——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來是夢?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">好疼,我呻吟了兩聲,聲音細微得連自己都聽不到,想抱住昏沈的腦袋,雙手卻疼痛無比而舉不起來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">視野逐漸清楚,眼前是天花板,呃——原來是躺在床上,掙扎起身,卻是全身無力,不僅如此,身體像是被重物壓住,動彈不得,鬼壓床就是這麼回事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然動彈不得,我也還能移動視線,望向被壓住的胸膛,不看沒事,看了嚇破膽,那是……白髮女鬼,我不禁奮力大叫!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呀——呀——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">終於能叫出口,卻是聲若游絲,白髮女鬼似乎被驚動,抬起了頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哇!你終於醒啦!喂~你叫什麼名字?住哪裡?怎麼會到這裡?身上疼不疼?肚子餓嗎?要不要吃點東西?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">定睛一看,這聲音就只是個小鬼而已,她趴在我胸前睡,無序散亂的銀髮,偏又穿著類似白色的牙黃上衣,差點把我嚇死。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……那……」我不是不想回答,而是嘴巴乾得說不出話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「剛醒來應該很渴,我去拿水,你等著喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">腦袋一片空白,對方有夠囉嗦卻很親切,就像是認識的朋友一樣,然而我卻想不起她是誰——不對,情況更嚴重,我根本就想不出還有認識誰!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小女孩用小匙舀水餵著,我貪婪地一口接著一口,總算舒服多了,但仍然全身無力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂~至少告訴我叫什麼名字吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我?名字……名字……我叫什麼?」,我拚命回想,卻一點印象都沒有,「啊……好痛……頭好痛……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你別亂動,會痛就別想,停下來……」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">之後她說什麼我也不知道,因為我又失去了意識。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當我再次醒來,頭頂有點搔癢,但已不再疼痛,周圍昏暗,原來已是夜晚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">搔癢是因為有誰正在拆下繃帶,我睜眼一瞧,是個精靈女孩,雖然也是一頭銀髮,但並不是白天那個囉嗦小精靈,她專心得沒注意到我醒來,我猶豫著要不要出聲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「竟然快癒合了,好像療癒術治療過一樣,是這傢伙的自癒能力嗎?」是個男性精靈的深沉嗓音,我躺著被精靈女孩遮住,看不見他的臉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「父親小聲點,小文~麻煩拿塊沾水毛巾給我——」精靈女孩回頭終於發現我醒過來,嚇了一跳驚叫:「啊~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼?怎麼?他死了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小文別亂說話,我來看看。」男性精靈從床的另外一邊出現,銀髮的中年大叔。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈女孩的大叫也嚇了我一大跳,不禁冷汗直流。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">體力稍有回復,我使勁想撐起身,男性精靈趕緊過來幫忙扶住,並讓我靠坐在床頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">畢竟是我不吭聲的錯:「那個……抱歉,嚇著了妳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈女孩:「還好啦!只是沒想到會突然醒來,我是夏美,這位是我父親。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏……夏美?」會自我介紹,應該是陌生精靈吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈大叔靠了過來:「我是羅都亞,孩子們都叫我亞叔,你跟著叫就好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「羅都亞?亞叔?」果然一點印象都沒有。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小伙子,你的名字是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……我……我不知道,怎麼都想不起來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">白天看過的小精靈再次出現,這回她綁上單馬尾,夏美接過沾溼的毛巾,在我頭上搓來揉去,我仔細一看,毛巾上沾上不少血漬,原來我受過如此嚴重的傷嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美見我驚愕,安慰說:「別擔心,是之前的血,你的傷口已經癒合了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小精靈咚地一聲跳上床,眼睛瞧著我的臉,太近了,但是我沒有空間能退避。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「長相好怪,耳朵是圓的,到底是什麼種族?精靈語說得很溜,又不像是低等靈類,你不會是從瓊巴里山游下來的吧——啊~好痛!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美用力敲了小精靈的腦袋,「適可而止,他可能失去記憶,先好好自我介紹。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小精靈哭喪著臉:「抱歉,我叫亞爾寇文,名字很長,叫小文就好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒想到頑皮的小女孩,名字卻很男性化。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小文你好,我沒辦法好好回答,家裡似乎還有個姐姐,可是也記不起模樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「這樣不行,總不能一直你你你這樣稱呼。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文:「先叫你『圓耳』,一聽就知道是你的名字。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「太隨意了,要不我就叫你『聒噪』,一聽就知道是小文。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文搖手拒絕:「才不要~姐姐亂來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「既然是從蘿納塞大河救回來的,暫且先叫『大河』怎麼樣?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘿納塞大河?沒有印象,似乎有曾在河裡浮沈的那麼丁點記憶,更之前的事完全想不起來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「可以嗎?想起名字以前就叫『大河』,你身材高大,也很相襯。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下非常感謝,大河就好。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呃……不自覺就用上了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「說不定大河原本就是貴族,說話好有禮貌。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文緊靠過來打量我的臉,距離實在是太近,就算是小精靈,也是男女有別。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小文妹妹別這樣,我很尷尬的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妹妹?」只見亞爾寇文滿臉通紅,不但沒有保持距離,還更靠近抓住我的衣領,突然啊地長聲大叫——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">休息好一陣子,我已經能夠自己起身走到桌旁坐下,夏美煮了一鍋稀飯,本來是想自己動手,但是夏美堅持幫餵不准我勉強,說打翻食物浪費不起,虛弱的我沒能反駁。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我好像很習慣這樣被餵食。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「說不定你就是大少爺,總有侍僕這麼餵著。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不可能吧?我都這麼大了。小文還好嗎?我真的很抱歉。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「呵~誰叫他喜歡留長髮,被誤認小女孩也不是第一次。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">難怪亞爾寇文總是肆無忌憚地與我互動,小精靈面貌姣好,中性服裝,頭髮一留長我就以為是女孩,亞爾寇文氣得流著淚跑出去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見我穩定,夏美述說遇到我的前後。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞每個月都會花上兩、三天,帶著女兒夏美到外地城市商辦批貨,家裡則由妻子薇薇兒留守,這回到藍之湖城商辦,小兒子亞爾寇文堅持跟著旅行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">騾車回程時遇上了暴風雨,好不容易找到安全地方臨時避難,挨到雨停之後才又繼續上路,大道沿著蘿納塞大河,在剛果山腳附近,羅都亞眼尖發現河邊躺著一名年輕精靈,那就是受傷昏迷的我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞將我帶到附近朋友的屋舍,並取得一些治傷藥品,我傷很重,但是簡單包紮後,傷口竟然奇蹟似地好轉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來,我已經昏迷了三天?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大前天到昨晚,算是吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">此時,羅都亞帶著亞爾寇文回到房間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河哥哥真羞,還讓姐姐餵。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是挺害羞沒錯,但是她不肯給我湯匙。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞給自己倒了杯茶坐在對面打量著我:「看來精神不錯。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「剛剛夏美告訴我這幾天的事,非常感謝亞叔的救命之恩。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只是把你拉上車送過來而已。說到包紮擦拭清理照顧,全靠夏美和小文。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞爾寇文:「姐姐老是趕我走,嫌我礙事,好像大河哥哥是屬於姐姐的一樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美尖聲叫道:「你又在亂說話,不趕走真的礙事。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「我的朋友沒法照顧你,我們也沒辦法一直留在這裡,滯留三天孩子的媽肯定也在不安,不回去不行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我明白的,叨擾三天已經是極大善意,況且,我現在的身體應該沒問題。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「大河也蠻好溝通的。接下來就是討論你的去處,最麻煩的是你失去記憶,你有想去的地方嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我苦笑著:「打從哪兒來我自個都不知道,想去哪兒連個方向都沒有。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「不知道,只能盡力請求,第二個想法,我猜測大河住在藍之湖城或是金盾王都,不慎在暴風雨中落河失憶,或許回到城市會有機會找到家眷。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下會選擇這樣做,失去記憶沒辦法,最好的方法是儘量讓家眷能找到我。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞看向櫃子上我的所有物:「但是大河身上一毛錢都沒有哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我全部就是一套破衣裳,加上兩個金屬臂環,當我昏迷時被羅都亞給卸了下來,腰袋則是破了大洞,裡頭原來有什麼東西我也不記得。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞接著說:「抱歉,我更正,衣服破了就破了,一文不值,那臂環看似有點價值,好像有什麼用途,不建議典當,有變形也會被大削價,但是啊~那腰帶很特別,是大王獅子毛皮製的上等貨,變賣價錢很不錯,或許大河是豪門之後也說不定。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我起身把腰帶取來,並把它交給羅都亞:「如果值錢就送給亞叔,我實在沒有能力報答,請別嫌棄。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞一怔:「你這傢伙,我可沒想貪圖你的東西。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下沒那樣想,純粹是稍盡棉薄之力,而且,我覺得自己死不了,總會有辦法的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請不必在意,亞叔這幾天的住宿,即使我付不起,也不能全然白吃白喝。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「大河別小看亞叔,而且借住朋友房子比旅館便宜多了——我想說的不是這個,都離題了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞:「我是在葉布羅城開旅館的,平常旅客來來去去,總會有不少消息,一家四口維持經營還真有點累,如果大河不嫌棄,又沒地方能去,不妨暫時在我旅館工作,而且啊~城裡有治療師,或許有機會回復記憶,在城裡也才會有失蹤精靈的消息。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞笑道:「多可惜啊!我還在幻想你是某個貴族,然後把夏美硬塞給你,從此了結我心裡頭一件大事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂~我在後頭可是聽得一清二楚,父親別想打歪主意。」夏美憤怒咆哮著。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞小聲耳語:「看吧!偶而很溫柔,但平常就這麼兇,跟她母親一個樣子,早點送出去比較好——啊~痛!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">騾車走不快,夏美跳下車撿起小石子,砸中羅都亞的頭。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒多久,我們順利離開城門哨站,因為不知道路線,我把繮繩交給夏美。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞笑道:「沒呀~只說大河跟著夏美回家,以後家裡要多一口子吃飯這樣。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞沒撒謊,但微妙地誤導守衛們的想法,畢竟是為了讓我順利進城,無從責怪。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾能與誓約主人小修溝通,但是現在卻斷了聯繫,她從昨晚醒來後就不停呼喚。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德坐在沙發上,我坐在床上,小蕾本來有點忸怩,最後還是被我拉著一起坐下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「蕾菲亞娜昨晚醒來後,就完全沒事了嗎?我很擔心呀!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這個……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我說不出話,小蕾只是抿嘴移開視線。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「至少給我最低限度的理由啊!我可是丟下小修,胡裡胡塗跟著小艾來的,雖然說蕾菲亞娜也很重要,但是對我而言,小修才是第一優先。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「院長大人能保守秘密嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「以魯迪因德王室之名,前提是不危及小艾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「我有秘咒,與小修立下主僕契約,從此同生共死,這就是生命同步。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「主僕契約?小修不就一直受制於妳?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「叔叔說反了,是小蕾受制於小修,小修是真正的主人。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「為什麼要這樣做?甘願為僕?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「才不只是這樣,小修在迷宮時差點喪命,如果不是小蕾斷然立下契約緩了一緩,我根本來不及救回小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德回憶著:「是那時候的事嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是這樣,所以除了小修身邊,小蕾已經沒有其他能去的地方,因為契約她也失去與其他精靈或魔靈締結靈線的機會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">真相我說不出口,小蕾與我相同,都與小修締結了靈線。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德嘆了口氣:「難怪小艾一直力挺蕾菲亞娜,小修剛開始還很絕情不打算接受。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修是昏迷時立下契約的,直到新王城回來前才知道契約的事,我也不允許他抛棄小蕾,那就太可憐了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「我如果想深入過問契約的事——」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「請容我拒絕回答,本族奧秘不容外洩。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「我沒別的意思,也會保守秘密,只是契約對小艾的影響有多大?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「小艾是小修的羈絆者,也是我半個主人,我有責任照顧小艾,我的秘密她也有權知道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「叔叔別擔心,蕾菲亞娜沒對我隱暪,待我如同親姐妹一般,我相信著她。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德點點頭:「好吧!我就不再追問,那麼小修現在?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾安全小修就沒事,再來就是要設法找到他。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">叔叔把搜尋結果說了一遍,從出事河段沿著下游兩岸,已經投入將近三百多名拿茲衛士與船伕幫忙搜索,但始終找無下落。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「就算沒事,會不會少條腿走不回來?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「不,就算小修少根手指,我也會有一樣的結果。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「現在的問題是,拿茲王國想儘快把我們趕回去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雙方關係不是還不錯嗎?」我記得直到最後與拿茲陛下的晚宴都很順利落幕。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「關係好與如何處理是兩碼事,魯迪因德的王子與公主滯留境內,拿茲方面也承受很大的壓力,換句話說,他們也害怕兩位殿下在拿茲境內出事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾起身握拳:「就算小艾和王子殿下回去,我也要留下來尋找小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,我也要留下,沒找著小修絕對不會回去。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德嘆了口氣:「就算帶妳回去,妳還是會偷跑,對吧?」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳剛剛回來,聽到我提起拘束就發火,毛髮都豎了起來,我猜她沒聞到小修的味道,否則,肯定不是這種反應。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我對梅琳招呼,她乖乖回到我身邊,「總之沒有小修陪伴,我絕對不會回去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德又嘆了口氣:「克羅夫曼殿下早有預料。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「殿下旨意,我們不可能公開拒絕拿茲的要求,無論有否找到小修,明早都會起程返國,『公主的馬車』必須跟隨使節團回到里德修拉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此,公主是否在馬車內就不得而知。」不愧是小蕾,聽出叔叔的重點。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「基本上,小蕾受傷與小艾一同待在車內,由我指派車伕,回去之後,官方情報是詠月公主一直在郡府內,順帶一提,這情報是由我呈報,出事責任是我在承擔,至於克羅夫曼殿下,只知道小艾公主已返回里德修拉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾明白該怎麼做,多謝叔叔成全。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">也就是說,要留在拿茲王國,必須隱姓埋名暗地行動,也無法得到拿茲的官方協助。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「我最擔心的是妳的安全,要不要稍等半天,我繞道布羅倪向加巴迪夫城主借將護衛,他受過小修恩惠,肯定會幫忙。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不必,有小蕾和梅琳在,和小修一樣可靠。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「好,要注意城務廳消息,如果是拿茲先找到小修,妳們也要儘速趕回來,金盾王都有使館,藍之湖城也有辦事處,王子承諾會下達密令支援妳,小修的黃金勳章要帶到,是聯繫用的信物。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾明白,讓叔叔操心了。」原來王子早有算計,叔叔也並非前來阻止我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">正當查理德步出房門之前,又轉身回頭:「我姑且問問,小修怎麼看待蕾菲亞娜?妳們倆能好好相處嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如同妻子一般,我們之間毫無芥蒂。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「那好,叔叔希望你們能夠一起幸福,一輩子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「絕對是肯定的!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">叔叔終於離開,旁邊的小蕾又是滿臉通紅。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~事到如今,小蕾怎麼還會害羞啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可能還有點發燒……我去準備行李,我們各揹一個背包行嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">面對感情,仍是不坦率又笨拙,但是我明白靈龍少女的心意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「簡單些,小修不在,只能靠我們自己。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳:「別忘了還有我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這有點不妙,梅琳被發現恐怕就會聯想到我的存在。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳:「我躲在附近跟著可以嗎?我自己會想辦法不被發現,也盡量不讓小艾離開視線。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就這麼辦,謝了!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來到羅都亞經營的『順風旅館』,薇薇兒是他的羈絆者,也是夏美與亞爾寇文的母親,對於夏美安排的房間,似乎引起她的誤會。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">父子一搭一唱,搞得夏美紅著臉鼓著嘴:「你……你們在胡扯什麼啦~我又沒有……是他重傷甫癒,住我隔壁好就近……照顧啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我根本就沒這意思,但是直覺不該再出聲,否則只會越描越黑。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">受到重傷卻奇蹟似好轉,這一點我也很在意,天生超強自癒能力?我想劃傷自己來試看看,但是又強烈自覺不可以,彷彿這麼做就會傷害到某個誰。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">就這樣忙碌著,即使沒有交代,我把每間空房都打掃得乾乾淨淨。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">二、三樓是順風旅館,一樓是順風餐廳與雜貨商店,看起來什麼生意都做,其實規模都不算大,房子也有點老舊。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我白天打掃樓上旅館,晚上在一樓商店與餐廳幫忙整理,夏美怕被羅都亞父子捉弄,一直不再過來搭理,我也不是不明白,小心翼翼保持距離,直到入夜已深,薇薇兒讓我沐浴就寢。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美準備的房間不小,事實上,那是個棉被儲藏間,我重新整理,騰出空間擺上床褥,有塊能安穩睡覺的地方我很滿意,摸黑做事不太方便,想早點就寢。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">進門的居然是——避著我大半天的夏美,我有點意外,她還帶著夜光石晶進來,在就寢時間來拜訪,身為女孩實在太沒防備。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">該怎麼說?其實我腦海中藏了不少文字,卻不是精靈文,這幾天也沒見過那種文字,完全不明所以,幸好精靈語還算順溜,不影響生活。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我看著夜光石晶,思考著該怎麼用?我伸手觸摸,自然而然,靈力引動關閉了夜光石晶,小驚一下,自己居然會用,再次依樣試試,又開啟夜光石晶。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美回來,拿著一把帶套小匕首,並交到我的手上。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可以嗎?」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖說是普通小刀,外觀卻很華麗,我想,暫時算是借用,離開時還給夏美比較好。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">送走夏美,腳步輕快的她似乎很開心,我看著那柄小匕首,很合用,我把重要的事給忘了,卻記得刮鬍子這種芝麻蒜皮小事,真是夠了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">自己的耳朵是圓的,頭髮是罕見的深黑,鬍子也長的快,或許我真不是精靈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">找出壁櫃中一個小空格,收好小匕首與我那套破爛衣物,熄滅夜光石晶,準備就寢結束這一天。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">天色未明,雖說睡得早,我起床也非常的早,鑽出被窩,揉著眼睛的我,腦海中出現一句咒文,我默唸著,莫名地,體內的靈力在緩緩流動,周遭還出現好多淡紅反應——誒?是精靈體內的靈力反應,數量多到嚇了自己一大跳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">穿好衣服,悄悄走到前廳,反應一直沒消失,還能因此知道精靈們的行動,離我越遠反應越模糊,這是我失憶前就能做到的事嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">檢視每個反應,漸漸判斷出每個精靈的身形與動作,原來一樓只有我和夏美的房間,夏美睡得很安穩,二樓的亞爾寇文睡相差勁,再偏一點就會掉下床,老闆羅都亞是大字型睡姿,老闆娘薇薇兒,蠻不害羞地抱著羅都亞。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不對,蠻不害羞的是我吧!這簡直就是在偷窺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">二樓與三樓總共有八個住客,只是樓上樓下不好辨識,有些反應重疊不易區分,旅館之外也能發現有其他精靈,絕大部分都在睡覺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只是,我該告訴羅都亞這件事嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">暫時還是不要,說出來可能會被當成偷窺變態,幸好這些反應不影響我的作息。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">決定不予理會,打開窗子和前門,我走出旅館到街上觀望。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">東方天空稍為泛白,離太陽出來還一小段時間,街上很冷清,我決定舒展身子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">緩緩深呼吸數次,覺得頓時神清氣爽,蠻好的,我又繼續深呼吸好幾回。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不自覺地,蹲起馬步舞起雙手,好熟悉的動作,我順著意識走,想到什麼動作就做出來,一步接著一步,我還能知道哪裡做錯,更正又重來一遍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我肯定以前就做過這些連續動作,而且熟悉到不需要刻意,就能行雲流水一般。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後做完一遍,我認為應該沒錯了,這才發現流了汗,真有意思,動作不快,卻覺得花上不少氣力,但是做完後通體舒暢,很適合做為晨起運動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">太陽已經稍為露臉,街道也明亮多了,透過反應,發現門口『果然』多了個觀眾。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「早安,夏美。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河起得好早。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美一起床就喜歡跑步吶!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「咦?你怎麼知道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">糟,我才決定別把知道精靈反應的事說出來,這一不小心不就露餡了嗎?夏美起床後打開了我房門,發現我不在就衝了出來,我並非刻意關注她,而是周遭精靈的動態,自然而然就透過靈力反應得知,我也不知道如何關閉這個現象,只能忽視。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……妳臉上有點汗,不就是用跑的嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我看到你房門沒關好,偷偷瞄了一下你卻不在房內,還以為你偷偷逃走了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——我分明就有關好門。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這點小謊倒是無所謂,擔心來歷不明的陌生者很合理。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不用啦!一、兩天就習慣,要不要到廚房來?我弄點吃的,大河也順便幫個忙。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美領著我到廚房,熟練地拿出麵包烘烤,又接著煮湯,明明是叫我幫忙,卻讓我坐在一旁等候。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美邊攪拌邊說:「剛剛大河在做什麼?奇怪的動作。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也不知道,就是一直意識到這些動作,身體就隨著做出來,果然是很奇怪嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「奇怪歸奇怪,但似乎很有意思,看你好像也很開心。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「或許有一天全部都能想起來,到時候別忘了我們哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然不會,承蒙相救之恩,肯定不會忘記。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">此時薇薇兒進來廚房,我們彼此互道早安,我其實很清楚她的行動,薇薇兒起床之後先整理好二樓住客前廳才下樓,她走到店口肯定是發現大門已被我先一步打開,便去了夏美房間,因為找不著夏美才來到廚房,期間她還站在我房門外稍一會兒,或許是懷疑女兒在我房間。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「放輕鬆些,雖然努力工作很好,但是做過頭,空房全給你打掃完啦!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這幾天來,昨晚我睡得最舒服,雖然很多餘,請容我再一次表達感謝。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「適應力不錯嘛!夏美~今天找個時間帶大河去買套稱頭衣服。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不需要,亞叔給的幾件已經足夠。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">薇薇兒:「不,我想了想,穿舊衣招待旅客不太禮貌,會丟旅館的臉。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞和亞爾寇文此時也來到廚房。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「也帶小文去吧!」「嗯,我也想去。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我向他們補上招呼。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒多久,廚房又來了個中年女性精靈——妮可,是專職廚師,薇薇兒為我們互相介紹。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然身體無恙,日子也過得去,但是我一直在意失去的記憶,似乎有所牽掛,雖然不知道是什麼,但我就是知道非常重要,必須想起來才行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">羅都亞交代下來今早的任務,就是與亞爾寇文把我房間的棉被全給拿到頂樓曬太陽,對我來說,體力活算是輕鬆的工作。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">下午,我、夏美與亞爾寇文來到附近的商店街,先去購置能接待來客的服裝。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大河,有喜歡的顏色嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「說不上有特別喜好,不過,黑色似乎讓我有習慣的感覺。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「穿黑色的招待顧客太過霸氣,我選相近的深藍色系可以嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也喜歡,麻煩夏美挑選。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">調皮的亞爾寇文,來到商店街一溜煙就不見,夏美說不用擔心,雖然只是小精靈,卻已經混得很熟,萬一走散就會自己回家。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">買好衣服才出店門,就傳來一聲——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夏美!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">比夏美年紀稍長的女性精靈叫住她,旁邊跟著一位男性精靈,我注意到他佩著雙劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「南芙梅絲午安,冬米爾君午安,好久不見。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這位是……」南芙梅絲睜大眼睛盯著我,我有自覺長相怪異,被關注也很正常。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~是父親在河邊撿回來的,目前在我家工作,名字是大河。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「居然說撿回來的……又不是小猫小狗。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「圓耳啊!真少見,還有——夏美別叫什麼君的,挺不自在的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「母親說他很有禮貌,想給他添件稱頭衣服好幫忙接待,你現在是城務廳見習俠士,不好好稱呼可不行,冬.米.爾.君。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「聽妳唸出來就是有點刺耳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「大河~南芙梅絲和冬米爾君是兄妹,我們是一起玩著長大的好朋友。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「兩位午安。」我囁聲行禮。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「真稀奇,冬米爾君居然出現了,前陣子聽說工作很忙,不是嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「前陣子是很忙沒錯,魯迪因德的王子與公主來訪,休假被管制了,直到離開我才有機會補回來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「自己休假,硬拉著妹妹出門是在搞什麼啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「出門?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「西園廣場有劍士挑戰塔爾林斯閣下,正要趕著去看,我也想好好學習。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「不如一起去看看吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「我們還有事,嗯……只是介紹進貨商而已,應該是不會耽擱太久——大河,你會想看嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「想去就去,不必顧慮我,對我來說,不管是什麼都很新鮮。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「大河以前沒看過劍術比賽嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夏美:「也不能這樣說,大河受過重傷,失去了記憶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「抱歉,我不曉得發生過這種事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒關係,我不在意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">冬米爾:「不妨一起去看看,或許會想起什麼,說不定大河曾經是個劍士哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲:「就這麼說定,走吧!時間快到了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">五百步距左右,我們來到西園廣場,比賽尚未開始,只有一名雙劍士站在環型廣場中央等待,外圈有五層階梯可供乘坐。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲挑了最前排位置,理由是——「坐在最前面才刺激。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南芙梅絲讓夏美坐在她與冬米爾之間,又叫我坐在她的另一側,夏美看看我,有點不情願地就座。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一路走來,我大概有看懂,冬米爾似對夏美有著特殊的情感,長的也算帥氣,我對南芙梅絲的安排並不排斥。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們似乎來早了,只好聊聊天打發時間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『靈劍士』嗎?我仍記得那是尊榮的頭銜,聽起來有親切感,或許我也有靈劍士朋友,只是記不起來而已。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">修特羅里聖女治國歷史已有四千多年,綜觀歷史,如果沒有意外,每位聖女可以在位四百餘年,因為沒有子嗣可以提前繼承,所以比一般王室統治者都來得長久,崇高的地位幾乎等同精靈王。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當艾莉絲細心解釋的時候,我非常訝異,如此重要又偉大的聖女,居然冒著危險獨自跑到旅館頂樓,只為了見自己一面,我這個『伴侶』定位又是什麼樣的存在呢?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">清早,王城前廣場就開始有精靈聚集,商家幾乎全部暫時停業,展現出信仰凝聚力的強大,城牆上插滿旗幟,三樓露天陽台也佈滿鮮花,等待著聖女的重大演說。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">三樓內廳裡,我一身金黃色華麗禮裝,聖女則是純白連身拖地荷裙,頭頂白銀花冠,絕美無雙,換個角度,說是新娘裝扮也不為過,移動時總有兩位女侍為她扶裙。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">頂樓那一晚之後,就未曾再與聖女相見,我心想她放下了嗎?不,當初就是以為放下了,才料想不到她竟會偷溜來找我,不戒備可不行,蕾菲亞娜幾乎寸步不離,聖女還不至於會妄動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女點點頭,平常滿面笑容的她,今天表情更加爽朗開心。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜都還在後頭看著,我沒能確認她們的表情,大概。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使難堪也沒時間猶豫,我自暴自棄地回抱,閉著眼湊上嘴親吻聖女。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">剎那,現場所有精靈的情緒都沸騰到最高點,掌聲與歡呼不但沒有隨時間減小,反而持續在擴大。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我想點到為止,卻被用力緊抱牽制而無法離開,這一回長吻,聖女有忍住沒有釋出靈線,精靈不會輕易公開靈線,那是非常害羞的私事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大約廿秒過去,聖女總算放手,她笑得開心,頑皮地吐了一下小舌,動作輕微我卻看得清楚,順勢而為完全中了她的圈套。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">意義上,親吻與締結靈線就只差一小步而已,歷代聖女即使有愛侶,幾乎都是柏拉圖式戀愛,以防錯手不小心締結靈線,聖女似乎有意宣揚,她與我之間毫無忌諱。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我突然想起一件事,當在王都走動探聽聖女招選伴侶的評價時,還不時聽到百姓對桃花的看法,最常聽見的用辭是——</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霍爾茲前往駐使所安排的居所,我和艾莉絲、蕾菲亞娜則被邀請進住王城,這也很無奈,如果住在王城外頭會被質疑伴侶關係。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一到王城,聖女立刻下令召集開會,並讓雛菊帶領我們遊覽熟悉王城內部。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後回到被安排的主僕房,與新安達魯王城類似,所謂主僕房就是隔壁的侍僕房有門直通主人房,只要拉個鈴,侍僕就能快速趕到主人身邊,我後來才明白,侍僕房有時候是給貼身護衛用的,當主人遇險,護衛能夠快速援救。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">主僕房之間的門可以反鎖,但是我和艾莉絲不可能如此對待蕾菲亞娜,相反的,當天晚上她就被艾莉絲拉過來一起睡,自從被聖女識破與我的關係後,蕾菲亞娜膽子就變小了,就算退讓答應,也堅持艾莉絲睡在中間。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">直到隔天下午,聖女都未曾出現,只有雛菊過來致歉,實在是太忙無法抽空。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塞特波達聽完後陷入沈思,問我最終在哪定居,我回說當然是里德修拉,之後他就不再表示意見。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霍爾茲在離去前,留下一句耐人尋味的話,「姑且當是這樣,在下辦起事來容易多了!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">姑且是什麼意思?我認為霍爾茲已經識破伴侶之事。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">稍候的空檔,我們召來下午茶點,在窗外陽台上安詳享用。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我硬是拉她坐下,笑說:「聖女知道怎麼回事,顧不了啦!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜吼著:「不,絕對不要!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘆了一口氣:「還以為來到阿坎拉就能回家,居然又要等。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「霍爾茲卿也有要求簽訂和平條約之後才能離開。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女很聰明,總覺得被她一步一步給坑了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「哼!你也可以假戲真做,就算闖進她的寢宮,估計也不會被趕出來。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">慢著——為什麼是我被圍剿?答應伴侶之事的不是艾莉絲嗎?被識破秘密就失去思考能力的不是蕾菲亞娜嗎?至少我還刻意與聖女保持距離。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖然有點狡猾,但基本上個性善良,所以並不討厭,否則假裝伴侶一事,就算小艾答應,我也不會同意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「我覺得聖女好像真的喜歡小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「不是好像,是已經愛上了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我知道妳們說的意思,但是——人類曾經研究過這個現象,叫做『吊橋效應』,因為聖女遇到危險,如同走在吊橋上,因為害怕而不自覺地心跳加快,這時候我突然出現拯救她,容易被誤會成戀愛的『心動』感覺,過陣子聖女冷靜後就會明白的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「誒!當初會不會因為被小修救了,所以我也產生這種『吊橋效應』?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「或許吧!但是最後也因此讓我們締結靈線。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「說不定一心動就再也停不下來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以才想趕緊走呀!聖女應該明白自己不可能離開,我也不會留下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「想想,桃花回到王城可忙碌了,我們也沒見上什麼面。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一天過去,聖女根本沒有與我們招呼的空餘,就連用餐都約了大臣或駐使談話,只有野津和安潔兒為了匪徒的事幾次過來相商。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不,除了忙著某些政治安排,聖女似乎刻意與我們拉開距離。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「仔細想想,聖女和利德納陛下是一樣的存在,批閱公文處理國政非常忙碌,這樣也好,見不著面就算有奇怪的感情也會冷卻下來。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">少女們都點點頭表示認同。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修準備好了嗎?晚上真的不用我陪?」蕾菲亞娜換了個話題。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然要小蕾陪呀!這床很大,沒問題的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲吐了吐舌,抓到小瓣子就調戲蕾菲亞娜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾要代替我守護小艾和聖女,難保『三聖劍』不會潛入王城。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">趴著的梅琳開口說話:「沒錯!如果有心,挖個地道就能潛入王城。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳有優秀感官,擅長遠距跟蹤,負責帶領侍衛隊與我會合,那就只好留下蕾菲亞娜與艾莉絲作伴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">此時傳來敲門聲,是安潔兒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下前來告知消息已經放出,一有動靜就會立刻通知修閣下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「多謝!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「該感謝的是我們。明明是我和野津閣下比較熟悉王都,聖女卻下令後續交給閣下,真是抱歉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「能被信任,我也很開心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲分析過,聖女希望我建立功績,宣布伴侶時以杜悠悠眾口,無所謂,隱跡跟蹤是我強項之一,類似任務也做過好幾回。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不愧是聖女大人選擇的伴侶,閣下、公主,請容在下先行告退。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看著安潔兒離去,艾莉絲才回過頭:「雖說後天才公佈,但是應該會更早傳遍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是啊!這下子我尷尬了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">從侍僕異樣眼神就看得出來,伴侶一事在王城裡大概已經傳開,王城外只是遲早。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜把布包紮實地綁在我背上:「小心點,可千萬別弄丟。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是啊!貴重東西賠不起。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「桃花也很相信小修,二話不說就交出聖杖。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒錯,我揹著的是修特羅里最貴重的『光輝聖杖』,從現在起絕不能讓它離開我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">披著斗篷,來到城務廳附近一間旅館,把野津親筆信交給老闆,他便帶我走到四樓樓梯間,解開門鎖,外頭就是樓頂,是附近視野最高最好的位置。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「年輕精靈啊!離去前請幫個忙把門帶上。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放心吧!還有,我不一定會從大門離開。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「了解,既然是野津閣下交代,在下會幫到底——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">突然咯咯作響,有小跑步腳步聲上了樓梯間,我狐疑著,老闆也是,有誰會閒閒沒事跑到空蕩頂樓呢?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">身穿連帽斗篷的精靈,低頭戴帽,即使看不到臉,那細緻小手與嬌喘吐息明顯就是女性,索敵反應的婀娜姿韻,我立刻就明白是誰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這位小姐……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我是這位劍士的伴侶,也是野津閣下的朋友。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">追到這裡真是意外,她拉住我的手,以此宣告彼此關係。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">同樣都有夫妻的意思,民間多用『羈絆者』一詞,但要說是『伴侶』也能相通。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此,請自便,拜託記得帶上門。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津在信中註明秘密任務,因此老闆不多話,見我無異議,擅自認定是我同夥。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">待老闆遠去,我合上門嘆了口氣:「太任性啦!聖——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「早說過做這種事和聖女並不相稱,請叫我桃花。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一副惡作劇得逞的孩子般笑容,硬是打斷我的抱怨。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來者正是聖女桃花,雛菊或安潔兒都不在附近,肯定是偷偷跟來,一身便裝又沒花飾,仍不減最美麗精靈之名。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳搞失蹤會大亂吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不會,我有告訴雛菊要跟著你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是這樣嗎……不,不對,雛菊才不可能答應。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「又沒說過她有答應,她被我綁在寢宮裡,嘴巴也塞住了,估計安潔兒下次查房是一炷時間之後。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">算計好友還暪過貼身侍衛,聖女果然擅長『開溜』,畢竟是她的地盤。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我自敲額頭:「瞧妳都做了些什麼,我送妳回去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不!我絕不回去,小修會保護我,對吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她用耍賴的語氣,而不是命令,反而令我更加難以回嘴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我要做的就是危險的事,妳未免——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不放心聖杖,所以才來跟監。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">胡扯,不放心就別把聖杖交給我呀!當初明明說好我是獨自行動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見我無話可說,聖女笑嘻嘻地:「時間到了,小修趕快準備吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我沒什麼好準備,也沒有時間壓力,唯一的工作就是在此站哨,吹著冷風等待信號,聖女擺明是打馬虎眼,就是不肯離開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我再笨也能明白幾分聖女出現的真正理由,有感動有無奈,我左右觀察專心監視,其實有索敵根本不必用眼睛,我只是藉此避開與聖女對視,她帶給我的危機感猶勝三聖劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好冷。」不管怎麼移動,她始終設法出現在我視線內。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我早就看到聖女在微微發抖,「下頭就是旅館,我要個房間給妳休息。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">為了不讓我逃開,聖女靠上一步:「好過分,我不下去,除非小修陪我。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">陪妳去房間肯定會搞事吧?『最美麗精靈』可不是虛傳,明眸笑靨靠過來,實在難以抗拒,精靈大都靠觸感引發情慾,人類的我,視覺衝擊就足已意亂情迷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「知道自己在說什麼嗎?妳的美貌是很恐怖的誘惑啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對小修好像沒用。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然……我自制力還可以。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">差點要說我擋不住了,那等於變相鼓勵她趁勝追擊,絕對不行,在努哈巴爾村執意拯救傷患與村民,當時我就明白她有多麼固執。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我特地來陪小修,你多少也溫柔一點吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女轉而怒目瞪視,我明白會被抱怨是因為自己總保持著距離,但我不認為有錯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「姑且問問,桃花究竟是怎麼看我的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這問題真笨,當然是伴侶啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然如此,我必須好好開導,但是,猝不及防——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女走近一步抓住我的斗篷,不僅如此,還解開斗篷衣扣,無視我的抗拒,鑽進斗篷裡緊緊抱住我的腰胯,一股誘惑芳香令我天旋地轉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">糟糕~那與艾莉絲發情時的味道差不多,我曾笑稱是『精靈費洛蒙』,但是沒想到完全成熟的聖女,散發的體香更是濃郁迷離。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好溫暖!我早就想這麼做,只是沒有對象而已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不是妳的對象,伴侶只是——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我是真心把小修當作伴侶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一廂情願?」我還在嚐試要講清楚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她抱得更緊,硬是讓我坐在地上,把頭深深埋進斗篷:「我知道你心裡只有小艾和小蕾,知道你不會留下來,還逼你承認伴侶,是我任性很對不起,但是……我忍不住。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我動彈不得,也不知道該說什麼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我說過一輩子不想有伴侶是真的,只是沒想到會愛上小修,閉上眼睛,情不自禁就會想起你從樹林裡飛出來的模樣,總是偷偷注意著你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那只是一時迷惑。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我本來也這麼想,還打算直到演說當天都不再見你,宣布伴侶簽訂和約,然後結束這段迷戀,但我……我就是忍不住啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">所以悄悄跟來嗎?她哽咽著訴說情感令我憐惜不捨。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不會糾纏不休,只想小修現在對我好一點,給個美好回憶,就算是欺騙也好,我想要你的溫暖。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">露骨的表白,一般精靈只要斷然回絕就行,但是面對聖女必須說清楚,又不能搞到無法收拾,簽訂和平條約的壓力也很大。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">拉起斗篷想面對面,卻發現她流著兩行眼淚仰望著我,悲淒臉龐讓我心頭一緊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女突然挺直身子豁出去似地親吻上來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然嘴唇碰著嘴唇,卻沒能表達親吻該有的交流,沒經驗的她恐怕只是在模仿,既生澀又勉強,小手用力抱著猶如強烈的渴求,強行推開我也很為難,暫時放任著她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如果沒有羈絆者,我肯定會放縱自己回應她的真情,抱緊她狂熱回吻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我努力保持清醒,好一會兒,她終於鬆手,但還是依偎不肯離開,我為她拭去淚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我明白妳的覺悟,但是,我現在對妳好,之後會有好多問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾和小蕾嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那個還算好,被修理的就只有我而已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女噗的出聲哭笑不得:「她們醋勁可大了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我是真心為妳著想,我無法留下,幾天功夫要我愛上妳也不可能,最終只是個過客,妳未來日子還長,越陷越深,將來會沒法愛上其他精靈。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修還是不懂,除了你,我不想也不會愛上其他精靈。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「何苦呢?知道自己在說什麼嗎?我們可能不會再相見。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「幾百年的生命裡,或許真愛就只在這三、五天而已,我想珍惜,就算片刻也好,不管小修會不會愛上我,我一整天都想要這麼做,覺得不做就一定會後悔。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">半個月相處就讓她做到這地步,究竟是為什麼?那絕美容貌,反過來被迷戀才是對的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「傻瓜。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">真希望野津的信號趕快來,或者安潔兒趕緊發現聖女失蹤。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別看我這樣,大家都說我很聰明。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">妳明明和蕾菲亞娜差不多,遇上這種事就變笨了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聰明又怎會偷偷跟著來?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這樣小艾小蕾才不會知道,我不想傷害她們,也不想你為難。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳可能會害我以後無法與小艾靈線交纏。」我試圖用良心不安逼她放棄。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我仔細想過,雖然不清楚原因,但是能與小艾、小蕾靈線交纏,你肯定有辦法不受我的影響。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">秘密被發現是個大失策,我細思她所謂的片刻,她滿足後或許就會甘願回到聖女寶座。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我怎麼做桃花才會滿意?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「為什麼你和小蕾親吻會那麼開心沈醉?我卻……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來偷看過還想模仿,畢竟聖女還是處子,雖有戀心卻未知情愛為何物。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一個巴掌拍不響,那得兩顆心都全心投入才行。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我檢視索敵,暫時不會被打擾,但是……真要這麼做?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">好似舔了一口美味冰淇淋,身體告訴我想吃完,理智卻不斷叫我要推開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">挾著哀怨眼神,聖女再次逼近,柔潤的觸感,誘惑的體香,尤其是微顫的粉唇……</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">就當破罐子再摔破一回,「就算只有一次,就算只為滿足妳,不論理由,未來可能都會後悔,但是連一點點回應都沒給,我也很難過。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">彼此鼻尖碰觸,即使因為害羞而一臉紅潤,聖女還是大膽索求。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那就讓桃花好好記住,這或許是我這輩子唯一的浪漫。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一個深情的纏吻應該不是問題……</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">摸摸她的耳朵,親吻她的臉龐,柔軟滑嫩,我很幸運,也很有罪惡感。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我豁出一切緊摟嬌軀,唇瓣相疊,稍為強硬撬開她的小嘴,即使沒能靈線交纏,我人類的本能也懂得如何讓心意交融。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">積極進攻似乎令聖女退縮一步,但轉眼間,她又大膽地擁上回應。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈甚少肌膚接觸,一旦親熱反應就更強烈,和艾莉絲一樣,聖女也不敵舌吻,心口泛出淡光,我很清楚不可能締結靈線,或許正因如此她才會毫無忌憚地反撲,她很快就學會親吻,還不停地做出嚐試。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">靈線懸空一直無法締結,使得聖女索求越加激烈,當我發現不對勁想要停下,卻反被聖女主導了局勢,體香誘惑著我,吻過她的下顎、粉頸、胸口,即使察覺不妙,還是不由自主回饋她每個舉動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隔著衣物感受體溫,磨蹭身子情慾更漲,不知何時怎地,手掌竟在她衣服之內,一不作二不休,膽子一大撫觸全身,她沒有抗拒反而挺身相受。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我幾乎是為所欲為。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">終於,她窩在我懷裡,羞紅著臉微微嬌喘,我用斗篷包住她發抖的身子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『靈線交纏』的存在使得精靈對於性事不如人類在意,僅單純視作交配步驟,因為聖女一直無法與我締結靈線,反而出現女性高潮反應,亢奮程度雖不及人類,但也足以讓她縱情享受。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜從來都沒有這種高潮反應,因為在此之前,靈線老早就交纏了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">心意不足靈線就不會被觸動,懷中的聖女還處在興奮過後,小尖耳瑟瑟顫抖。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「想締結靈線?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「果然沒辦法控制自己,抱歉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「該抱歉的是我,即使妳有心,我也沒法用靈線回應妳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幸好如此,否則聖女生涯將劃上休止符,我有那麼一瞬間就要締結靈線的錯覺,原本以為能控制到一個熱吻就好,聖女的美貌、身材加上真情,竟將我的自制力粉碎殆盡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這樣就好,我很滿足。剛剛怎麼回事,身體好像做出很害羞的反應。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是我家鄉男女得到快感的方式,因為沒能靈線交纏,就只能這樣做。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">回神後我才驚覺慘了,手上都是聖女的濃郁體香,回去後肯定暪不住。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修能做到什麼地步?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「最後就是……更羞恥的交合,但我不確定妳能否得到那種感覺。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來……要試試看嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她口中隨意這一句,簡直就是兇器!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,做到那個程度,就太對不起小艾和小蕾。」我搖頭苦笑著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——不,現在已經是非常對不起了!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我以為艾莉絲夠厲害的,她的『精靈費洛蒙』越來越誘惑,但沒想到聖女竟是另一個境界,畢竟小精靈與成熟女性還是有所落差。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「勉強小修真抱歉,請別討厭我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就算認真拒絕,我大概也擋不住。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那成熟曲線與柔軟觸感的身體,深烙在我腦海裡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我有在你心裡佔據一點點位置嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「毫無疑問,不只是一點。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說起來很卑劣,我的順勢而為,很大成分是來自憐憫與她的強勢,而非愛情。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「吶~小蕾能與小修締結靈線,為什麼不收她為妻?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我和小艾都是如此認定,但是小蕾堅持只做女僕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不太能理解,不過她應該是以此為傲。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「她有自己的理由,我能諒解也沒有真當她是女僕,妳不會是……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花問這個又在圖謀什麼嗎?萬一她捨棄聖女,我就是罪孽深重,我也有自己的各種考量,無法讓她跟隨。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們是伴侶,足夠了,我沒別的要求。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">恐怕聖女一開始就是如此打算,只有我們自以為是在演戲,指定護衛,住進梅竹郡府,舞會上牽手,大概都是她計畫的一部分,即使算計如此,我也不會討厭她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我以為妳很溫柔,意外地卻很強勢。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女只是送來一個親吻,形式上的默認。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好刺,你臉上……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是我同族的男性鬍鬚,抱歉,讓妳不舒服。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">男性精靈也有,只比一般汗毛稍長稍硬,我每天早上得花些時間刮淨,以免人類身分露餡,一旦直接碰觸就會被發現,畢竟還是會有鬚根。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女小手撫摸把玩,還貼上臉頰來感受,我隨她任意觸弄。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「並不會,我覺得很特別,這個……很有魅力,還有點癢癢的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">魅力?在人間許多女性確是如此看待,身為精靈的聖女居然也是這樣認為,我用鬚根搔弄她的粉頸,她開心地咯咯笑著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看聖女不肯離開,我用斗篷包住她,以免著涼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「既非精靈也不是魔靈,小修到底是——抱歉,這樣說實在失禮,沒有靈核卻又有靈線,我實在是好奇。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哦~妳能知道我沒有靈核呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我體內的是精靈樹靈核,罕見的『無』屬性,聖女居然能察覺奇異之處。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別小看我,有聖杖時我的感知能力很強。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「能當成秘密我就多說一些。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好,是桃花與小修的秘密。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">既然做到這個程度,聖女不至於會出賣我,不如讓她多了解我一些。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「其實……我的種族叫做『人類』,我身上寄宿著遠古精靈王的記憶,所以有著奇怪的力量,靈力底限在哪我也不知道,還能分享靈力給小艾和小蕾,先說前頭,我就兩條靈線而已,可沒有第三條。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">直接挑明免得她心存僥倖,她果然大大動搖,雖然吃驚卻反而將我抱得更緊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我沒想要締結靈線。原來是遠古精靈王……難怪小修能用聖杖,那小艾用了射月聖弓、療癒術,又是咒箭障壁,最後還救回那兩個三聖劍,全都是因為小修啊!在馬車上的靈線交纏……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「正是,靈線交纏補充靈力最快,很害羞,但也只有這個辦法。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是我想回家,小艾、小蕾一直幫忙找尋方法。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們有締結靈線,理論上可以一起回去,萬一不行我就放棄,我絕不可能丟下任何一個羈絆者。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女鑽出斗篷,貪婪地親吻上來,又把我的手塞進自己衣服內,冷風之中,她仍能透過我掌心的摸索找到溫存。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不斷的親吻與盡情的撫觸,我一一回應,真擔心她感情決堤,也擔心自己失去理智。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看著雙手,不愧是最美麗的精靈少女,深情慰藉令人流連忘返。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">頭痛的是,我沒有隱暪羈絆者的選項,這下子該如何對艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜解釋呢?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">撩動一池春水,心中悵然若失,我專心盯著城務廳,靜待野津的信號。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">無聊等待的當下,我回想起昨天下午在馬車內與艾莉絲、聖女的交談。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我有兩個想法,一個叫做引蛇出洞,我們漏出破綻引誘對方出手,然後再抓住他們,但是聖女當誘餌有點危險,野津大概不會同意,另一招叫做欲擒故縱,故意放走其中一個,然後設法跟蹤到巢穴,最後一網打盡,這對聖女比較安全。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「引蛇出洞,欲擒故縱,小修真有學問,一般小精靈可想不到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~那是從家鄉書籍裡看到的,我只是引用而已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「我不怕當誘餌,只是進入王城後,野津的保護很嚴密,故意漏出破綻對方也會起疑,至於放走囚犯再跟蹤,就算小修厲害,對方也會有所提防。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「如果有聖杖,對方不可能逃得過小修的索敵吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「明白,那我把聖杖借給小修就行了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等,這樣就交給我,未免太過信任了吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女笑道:「有什麼關係,你不是我的伴侶嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是演戲啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女哼的一聲:「那換個說法,我確實信任小修,你都救過我好幾次。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">少女們都傾向『欲擒故縱』,接下來就是與野津商討細節,他認為在王都執行最好,城門一關就難以脫逃,如果是在荒野,對方一上馬,想再追上就很困難。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">計畫是把赫立魯夫當作假想敵,我抛出從電視戲碼聽過的『自白劑』假誘餌,精靈世界根本沒有這種東西,瞎掰是為了逼急赫立魯夫,逼他必須救出達比克斯與丹塔力士,否則就會被『自白劑』查出背後主使者,而我躲著守株待兔,靜待對方上勾。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">終於,城務廳西側,其中兩間房間點亮了夜光石晶,我也啟開夜光石晶放在約定位置,好讓潛伏的野津知道我已就緒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">點亮兩間,表示對方突破牢房同時救走達比克斯與丹塔力士,只點亮一間,表示對方只救走其中一位,若三間全部點亮,表示干戈大動,必須立即支援。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">左手握住背後的聖杖末梢,我發動索敵與搜索,明確知道達比克斯與丹塔力士的位置,並顯現附近所有精靈身影。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">稍有餘裕,我觀察著聖女,安潔兒已順利帶她回到王城,我嘆了口氣,某種意義上,王城也是聖女的囚籠,我順帶觀察艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜,正在房間看書,她們又向修道院圖書館借來許多古籍,為了我努力尋找月光石晶線索,然而我卻與聖女……唉~心中湧現強烈的罪惡感。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">索敵顯示一名精靈帶著達比克斯與丹塔力士離開牢房,經過關卡時挺順利的,野津雖然有所放鬆,但不可能平白無故讓對方通過,以免招疑而失敗,儘管如此,帶領精靈還是輕鬆過關,恐怕是個內賊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當帶領精靈一行出了城務廳,我趕到頂樓另一側目視遠眺,三個精靈上了囚車,原來如此,假裝押送嗎?電影老套路,我只要查出馬車目的地就行了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">馬車只前進廿餘公尺便停了下來,誒?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——糟糕!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">索敵出現非常強烈的惡意靈力反應,我環視四周,出現多名灰衣蒙面精靈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">悄悄帶走囚犯不就得了,何必搞得風風光光?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不對,不是來接風的!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">剎那出現無數火箭射向馬車,轟隆響聲把城務廳衛士引了出來,許多衛士開始救火。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我距離太遠救援不及,火箭來得又急又兇,打算將同伴徹底滅口,檢視索敵,兩位囚犯還在馬車內,火勢猛烈恐怕是兇多吉少,帶領精靈早已與灰衣精靈會合一道離開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">真慶幸選擇的是『欲擒故縱』而非『引蛇出洞』,賊子心狠手辣,萬一讓聖女當誘餌有什麼閃失,我可就萬死莫贖。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我暗歎著轉移目標,監視灰衣精靈動向,戴上面罩從旅館頂樓跳出,跟監而去,灰衣精靈化整為零分頭鑽進各個小巷,以防跟蹤追剿。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">靈光一閃,我另有打算,發動龍隱悄然接近一名脫離較慢的灰衣精靈,但是也沒忘記沿途留下記號,好讓梅琳跟蹤而來。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙面女精靈站在宅子最深處說道:「嗯,還有三個正在接近中。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙面女精靈:「別說太早,等全部到齊不遲。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">進到宅子裡的同伴全都靠牆而站,隔窗朝外警戒。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後三位也陸續進入。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔班:「最後一個把門帶上。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後一個進來的精靈站在門旁,與其他同伴一樣警戒守著大門。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙面女精靈:「能安全返回太好了,有沒有被跟蹤的跡象呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">灰衣精靈們都舉起雙手交叉胸前,這是暗號,一起出聲回應就太過吵雜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最靠近塔班的夥伴放下兩個布套,他正是負責把達比克斯與丹塔力士帶離牢房的精靈,已經換上相同的灰衣與面罩。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙面女精靈:「別說了,達比克斯被削斷一臂沒用了,估計丹塔力士也差不了多少,讓他們早點解脫也是一種慈悲。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一號報告,大江商街沒有異狀。」一名精靈大聲唸道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「二號報告,巡守隊部沒有異狀。」又一名精靈報告著。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來灰衣精靈們在回程時各自散開,順便摸清了王都狀況,好做為撤退依據。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">各自番號精靈輪流報告……</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「八號報告,北門仍然是四名守衛,應能輕鬆突圍撤離王都。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">突然間陷入冷場,因為預期的九號並未接續報告。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔班:「九號,搞什麼心不在焉,快點。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大家都看向大門旁那名精靈,等待回應。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那個……我不知道自己是九號……」,那精靈指著左胸前的符號又說:「這是指九號嗎?抱歉,我不太識字……」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙面女精靈:「呃?九號,為什麼你褲子是黑的,說出你的名字。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我嗎?」,那精靈搔著頭:「我名字是修.南宮,初次見面,三聖劍的女首領。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">所有的灰衣精靈全都拔出了劍,迅速往蒙面女精靈與塔班靠攏。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">二度交鋒,塔班衝到前頭:「又是你……御龍劍士?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒錯,正是我御龍劍士修.南宮,在半路上我悄悄擊昏一名灰衣精靈,套上他的灰色上衣和頭罩,其他同夥移動迅速,我實在不夠時間脫下對方褲子,不過就算時間充裕,給男性脫褲子我也很不願意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">跟在最後頭進入對方集合的院子裡,並且模仿其他隊員靠在一旁警戒,我站在大門旁方便堵路,最裡頭有位蒙面女精靈,腰掛一把長相特殊的短劍,估計就是三聖劍最後一名女性首領。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看到隊員一個接著一個做報告,就知道自己快露餡了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我乾脆取下面罩:「剛好看到個可疑傢伙,我直接打昏還請原諒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙面女精靈:「跟蹤技術了得,佩服,閣下打算看到什麼時候。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我本來打算看到妳的真面目再表明身分。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙面女精靈:「你夠本事嗎?打算挑戰我們全部嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「今天應該可以。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵,有趣的說法——大伙同時用咒術,破咒不可能對付那麼多術士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這命令非常正確,在里德修拉對付十幾個惡徒時,就因為對方步調不一才讓我有機可趁一一破咒,只不過,今天算他們倒楣……</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙面女精靈下令之後,現場陷入寂靜無聲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">十秒過去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我還在等吶!」輪到我不耐煩了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">平常我是對付不了那麼多精靈,但是『今天』不一樣,我的左手正握住背後的聖杖。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔班:「我……土流術沒能發動。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也是。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「火球不能成形。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">灰衣精靈們驚慌嚷著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙面女精靈指著偷回來的布套:「用風刃聖劍和岩崩聖劍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔班解開布套,但是——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這……這不是聖劍啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我忍住笑意,裡頭裝的只是樣貌相似的普通劍而已。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,真正的聖劍早被我砍斷啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「混蛋!你知道自己做了什麼蠢事嗎?」女精靈崩潰大叫,抽出腰佩聖劍放出劍咒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『聖劍』是王國級寶物,就好比把國寶『翠玉白菜』扔地砸碎一樣令人心疼惋惜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我催動龍破迎擊,砍破逼近而來的大範圍水瀑,周身盡是水氣,但並不構成威脅。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">水瀑失效,蒙面女精靈楞了一會,聖劍再揮,劍咒已然無法催動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我大聲叫道:「野津閣下!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">院子旁木牆之上,除了靈狐梅琳,還有一位雙劍精靈,我早知道那是野津,才故意讓蒙面女精靈出手,好讓野津判斷她的身分,此外,我也有私心想試試聖劍劍咒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「多謝修閣下——原來是水濂聖劍尤麗嘉閣下啊!家境顯赫卻甘心淪為盜匪,原來妳就是三聖劍,請恕在下失禮!」野津語畢拍了三次手掌,是進攻信號。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">塔班:「我們被包圍了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙面女精靈扯下面罩:「可惡,居然栽了,什麼時候……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大敵當前,不用索敵可別怪我。」這句話算我多說的,一般精靈用不上多重咒術,灰衣精靈們全都試圖對我使用攻擊咒術,因此沒能併用索敵術,自然也沒發現梅琳帶領而來的野津部隊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修閣下辛苦了,剩下的交給我們吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我回應野津退了兩步打開大門迎接衛士。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對方用不了咒術,你們放膽上吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">五十餘名衛士前後突入宅裡包圍,數量上是優勢,不需要我加入混戰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只要沒有靈劍士等級者,就幾乎是比拼雙方精靈數目,衛士們能夠用咒自保與傷敵,灰衣精靈卻被破咒術緊緊掐著,包括尤麗嘉在內。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒多久,灰衣精靈便失去戰意,兵敗如山倒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">對付這些餘黨,比起達比克斯與丹塔力士輕鬆多了,有聖杖在手也挺作弊的,我悄悄收好聖杖以免被發現。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">畢竟是修特羅里國內問題,我不適合過於主動深入,後續工作就交給野津,他已連繫巡守隊前去拘提赫立魯夫,我想反對勢力大概這幾天就會崩解。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">回到王城,我把聖杖交給寢宮外的安潔兒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她很驚訝聖杖會在我手裡:「閣下不親自交給聖女嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,已經很晚了,不方便叨擾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好吧!在下務必親手轉交,晚安。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">禮貌上應該親自歸還,但我不知道如何面對聖女,只好悄悄遠離寢宮返回房間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我回來了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是啊!結果還算可以……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我把事情前後說了一遍,包括聖女偷偷跑,不過,我只提及強吻事實,中間熱烈『偷情』過程全部省略,說到聖女識破我人類身分的事,少女們最為吃驚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「真沒想到桃花居然能找到空檔,還以為整天沒見面她放棄了。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不需要啦!我有說清楚心意,也明確拒絕留下,聖女想要一個吻,我有好好回應,她也說滿意了,不會再糾纏的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對不起!我知道自己不對,但是絕對沒有想過要玩弄誰。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如果有必要下跪也可以,我自知這錯誤不能都推給聖女。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先別生氣,聽我好好講。」我拼命使勁按捺兩座即將爆發的火山。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我說啊——親吻聖女的確是有點高興,但是我很明白,與小艾、小蕾一起才是我衷心期盼的親吻,這是內心真話絕無虛言,至於靈線交纏,我認為不會有問題的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大致上我有理解靈線交纏的訣竅,當初為了蕾菲亞娜我可是花了不少功夫研究。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">靈線交纏的訣竅在於全心全意,我只要意識到艾莉絲的存在就無法與蕾菲亞娜靈線交纏,反過來也是一樣,不過,共浴對十九歲的血氣方剛人類而言有另一種意義上的折磨。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「公主大人,修閣下,皮多耶今日才得以正式行禮,沒能妥善安排非常抱歉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「皮多耶卿~不是你的錯,我們被賦予護衛聖女的任務,也沒辦法接受你的善意安排。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶:「抱歉是應該的,如果在下早早簽下和平條約,也不至於讓公主與閣下親臨阿坎拉。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「事實並非如此,你我皆知赫立魯夫居中作梗,如今絆腳石已除,聖女意願昭然若揭,簽約才能水到渠成。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶:「修閣下,事關重大,在下必須親自確認,成為聖女伴侶一事,是否為真?在下已接獲通知,明早聖女將親自公布。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呃……皮多耶卿就當做是這麼回事吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霍爾茲:「修閣下,請恕在下無禮,欺騙聖女和平難以持久。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲笑道:「兩位請勿擔心,小修並未欺騙聖女,倒不如說他被聖女牽著鼻子走。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶:「是沒錯,修閣下成為聖女伴侶,各方面都很好辦。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我都在塞特波達面前說過了,霍爾茲還是會擔心。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「小修~你這樣說就太絕情,而且也露餡了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶與霍爾茲對視一眼:「誠如在下猜測,是聖女一廂情願,修閣下辛苦了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們答應過,回去里德修拉也不會否認有此一事。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶:「即使如此,還望修閣下偶而抽空過來王都會見聖女。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「還來?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲嘆道:「總不能過河拆橋,哪有身為伴侶卻老死不相往來?聖女會被質疑的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霍爾茲:「還是公主深明大義。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「兩位卿家不必擔心,這種事我會安排,兩國友誼就交給我們吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶笑道:「在下十分感激。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真虧我還告訴聖女,以後可能沒機會見面。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「是你想得太美好,就當做到修特羅里渡假吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請教皮多耶卿,民間反應怎麼樣?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修閣下~這個嘛……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「直說無妨,只是參考。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先說明前例,以往聖女是不會選擇已有羈絆者的伴侶,畢竟難以真心相對。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶的解釋避重就輕,聖女在上我在下,一般精靈會認為我對聖女有所圖謀,否則就是我厭倦羈絆者移情別戀,不管哪種理由對我都很不利,再來,聖女可能會讓我分心而無法再與羈絆者靈線交纏,相當於強搶伴侶,有損聖女靈格聲譽。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「確是如此,就算我大方答應,小修也做不來,總得有些契機才行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶:「幾位先代聖女,會容許伴侶之後多找一位靈線羈絆者,是希望伴侶能夠傳承子嗣,也有機會享受靈線羈絆的美妙,不過,前任秀波大人是例外,她最後放棄伴侶,選擇獨居。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這種『容許』很可悲,那表示伴侶將絕大部分心意放在羈絆者身上,而不是給聖女。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女還真不容易。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶:「所以,的確流傳一些不好的說法,像是貪戀美色,圖謀地位之類的,不過,他們並不了解內情,請閣下莫怪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「會這樣想才合理,我不生氣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶:「在下得到情報,赫立魯夫被捕與三聖劍落網,是修閣下背後大力協助。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「三聖劍是我抓的沒錯,赫立魯夫是被野津安排逮捕的,後面的事我不太清楚。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶:「昨晚,赫立魯夫逃到鐵拉布塔王國使館要求庇護,今天一早反而被使館衛士押送到城務廳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「鐵拉布塔也不是省油的燈,想要劃清界線。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶:「沒錯,原本他們私交不錯,赫立魯夫對魯迪因德不友善,鐵拉布塔恐怕也有一旁搧風點火。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霍爾茲:「鐵拉布塔是個隱患,就算簽下五年和平條約,暗地裡還是不少小動作。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「據我所知,新安達魯叛亂與鐵拉布塔脫不了干係,龐加拉度也極可能藏匿在鐵拉布塔,聖女參加平安祭時,被二王子兀罕盯上,他還想殺害聖女嫁禍給魯迪因德。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「這些事聖女一清二楚,小修等於三次救了她的性命。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">皮多耶:「原來聖女是基於感恩,所以才會挑選修閣下做為伴侶。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">有皮耶多指派的嚮導車伕,我們逛遍王都的知名景點,這才發現阿坎拉王都非常大,比起新安達魯幾乎還大上一半。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">中午,我們在青森湖畔用餐,為了不引注目,我和艾莉絲都是便裝出門,蕾菲亞娜怎都不肯換下女僕服,沒辦法,她被艾莉絲幾次戲弄,已經學乖了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不過,我還是『命令』她同桌用餐,就是沒法當她是女僕使喚。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我真心希望她能找到可以陪伴左右的伴侶,只有雛菊還不太夠。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「小修已經做好被抛棄的心理準備?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然,我就不能接受和小艾分住兩地。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「哼!小修當初就想把我丟在新安達魯,對吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那時候根本不知道小蕾是誓約者,我不是討厭,是衷心希望小蕾能得到幸福。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「現在我很幸福,但我和小艾都很同情聖女,不能與喜歡的小修在一起肯定很難過。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別說的好像都是我的錯,我明明都有避得遠遠的……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">少女們似乎不太接受我的辯解,無奈地看著我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">受不了少女眼神與良心指責,小小聲說著:「我也有自覺啦!有了妻子還放縱自己,再怎麼說還是我的不對。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「唉~我們都知道你很為難,所以才沒有很生氣啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">難怪昨晚會輕易地原諒我,回想在洪荒峽谷,我被矮靈族的蘭用藥推倒,事後,蕾菲亞娜氣得想毀掉部落。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「小修雖然很強,但也不諳精靈習俗,所以常被設計。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「桃花很聰明,設計小修一點也不困難。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「明天聖女演說會很轟動,精靈們都在談論這件事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「感覺上風評沒那麼正面。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「沒辦法啊!沒見過你,又比聖女小四十歲,支撐的就只有靈劍士身分。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「羈絆者是詠月公主也有加分。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她們都沒提到重點,我聽到最多的說法,還是不太認同聖女的伴侶已經有羈絆者,雖然皮多耶早有提過,但親耳所聞還真不是滋味,不過,我沒有立場責怪,畢竟我對聖女並未付出相對的愛戀情感。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">與聖女親密接觸後,我更加確信,內心裡——果然有著一絲後悔。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我舉起精靈弓朝向武裝精靈射去,但是被障壁擋了下來,確定對方目標是我們。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是有飛箭襲來,安潔兒築起障壁無暇顧及。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾指向一處屋頂提醒我:「那兒有兩名弓箭手。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「交給我!」再次舉弓,注入火球成形為箭,在對方再次射出之前擊墜兩名弓箭手。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩名短劍匪徒似乎認定我的遠距攻擊較具威脅,轉而向我攻來。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">近距離的龍炎放倒其中一個匪徒,另一個則被梅琳纏住,又被小蕾的快劍給削了臂膀,再加上一腳踢倒在地。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女、霍爾茲沒有戰力,已治癒的六名重症傷患仍然孱弱,必須遠離戰場,小蕾和梅琳為了保護我們沒有加入前線戰鬥。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霍爾茲欲言又止,傷患行動緩慢,恐怕也在匪徒的計算之中。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">且戰且向東邊撤去,不見來援衛士,村服武裝匪徒精靈卻越來越多。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾,小修他?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我稍為鬆口氣,雛菊還揹上一名幼精靈,我們移動緩慢,不斷承受後方追擊。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「晚安,聖女大人。」兩名武裝精靈一高一矮,擋在我們前方。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">鬥氣很強,我放出一箭,高壯精靈提起大劍格檔,沒能傷到。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「詠月公主不用聖弓嗎?普通咒箭可對我沒什麼用。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">對方調查過我的身分,聖弓強大,但是近距離並不適用。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原本斷後的安潔兒也繞過來,臉色吃驚:「三聖劍?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「既然閣下知道我們名諱,不如放下武器交出聖女。」矮精靈笑嘻嘻說著,看著那尖嘴就生氣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「風刃聖劍達比克斯,劍法神速,岩崩聖劍丹塔力士,力大無窮,還有一個在哪裡?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒詳述對方特徵,這段話像是說明給我和小蕾聽的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">高大精靈丹塔力士說:「她不需要出面,我們倆就夠了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">王都發出的通緝圖像只有達比克斯和丹塔力士,始終沒誰見過第三個聖劍持有者,只知是位女性精靈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「躲躲藏藏不敢露面嗎?對聖女不敬,修特羅里上下都不會放過你們的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達比克斯越見輕浮:「說這麼多話是等御龍劍士救援嗎?不過……被卅名劍士包圍,就算死不了也沒法趕過來吶!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">對方一開始就算計了戰術。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「梅琳~矮的交給你,安潔兒閣下麻煩守護聖女和公主。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「不,一起上,這兩個很強,派出衛士營追捕都逮不到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請交給蕾菲亞娜和靈狐,安潔兒閣下是術士,劍法上不會是他們對手。」安潔兒雖有配劍,但並不精通。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「梅琳——」不等小蕾說完,梅琳已一馬當先迅速奔襲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花:「呃……比在里德修拉看到的更快!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我笑道:「梅琳很厲害,上次是不想傷害對方才留手的,小修也是一樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾嘆了口氣:「就愛炫耀,就不能等我一下嗎?」言罷,身影如同一陣疾風而去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花更加吃驚:「蕾菲亞娜速度不輸修閣下呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修親自教的,不過她本來就很強。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達比克斯似乎對梅琳的速度吃了一驚,提起雙劍上前纏鬥,丹塔力士打算支援他。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">六顆小龍炎襲向丹塔力士,逼得他回頭格檔,蕾菲亞娜大喝:「對手是我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我再次放箭射倒一名弓箭手,沒擱下自己本分。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「繼續往北邊移動吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">侍衛與衛士只有廿幾名,武裝精靈卻超過卅名,我也很擔心安潔兒所說尚未露面的另一名三聖劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達比克斯的速度很快,與靈狐不相上下,梅琳一時近不了身,在外圈迂迴纏鬥。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是小蕾有點吃虧,龍炎全被丹塔力士大劍擋下,一般的劍是擋不住的,恐怕是聖劍的防禦效果,雖然小蕾明顯速度高上一截,也有著怪力,但是丹塔力士每一擊都能逼退小蕾的攻擊,這令我有點訝異,居然比瓦立培夫的力量更強,大概是聖劍的威力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我一點都不擔心,因為小修就站在屋頂上觀望戰鬥,原來他早已過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘟著嘴:「好慢!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉!稍微有點難纏。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾她……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別急,我知道。」他縱身一躍,往小蕾那兒奔去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾僅握持一支短劍,能與大劍抗衡已經很了不起,丹塔力士又是用力一揮,雖然擋了下來,但是為了卸除力道,小蕾順勢讓身子倒飛十餘步,正好被小修抱個滿懷。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修:「妳故意的吧?說不定站在這裡的不是我咧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「我沒可能認錯主人。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她站定身子,不理會詫異的丹塔力士,反而先幫小修整理衣領皺摺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊大叫著:「還在戰鬥中,蕾菲亞娜在做什麼啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我輕笑道:「他們主僕就是這樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花似在玩味對著我說:「如我所料,他們完全不在意肌膚接觸。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">彷彿看破小蕾與小修的關係,也順帶打量我的反應。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">真沒辦法,小蕾常常與小修一對上眼,就自顧自地不管周遭什麼狀況。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修低聲說了幾句,小蕾點點頭,把御龍寶劍和風行聖劍交換。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾抱著聖劍朝我們跑來:「真抱歉!那大個子的大劍力氣好大,他傷不了我,我也近不了他的身。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「能與丹塔力士勢均力敵,我對蕾菲亞娜小姐刮目相看。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎用短劍?」我以為小修會用風行聖劍硬拼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾點點頭:「主人說有辦法,而且要徹底摧毀對手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「趕快移動,匪徒太多了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾:「不用,小修說野津閣下趕過來了,一會就到,在這裡我們比較安全。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">匪徒又增,小蕾和安潔兒再次投入戰鬥,風行聖劍尚不順手,但重兵器禦敵挺管用的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修一邊走向丹塔力士,一邊對梅琳說:「回去小艾身邊,兩個都交給我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳聞言迅速回奔,真不愧是羈絆者,還有餘裕顧及我的周圍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我抱著梅琳:「好可憐,掉了好多毛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳用心語術:【那傢伙有劍咒,刺過來還帶著風,很鋒利呀!】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然如此,一般兵刃是傷不了靈狐的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【小修應該有注意到,所以才讓妳回來。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修使用兩把寶劍,因此兩手都能用上龍破壓制對方劍咒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">丹塔力士:「御龍劍士趕來真快,對侍衛見死不救嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修:「怎麼可能!我全部幹掉了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達比克斯:「全部?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修緩步前去:「那一丁點精靈就想纏住我,還真是被小看了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當走近丹塔力士五步左右,卻是突然朝旁邊的達比克斯發動奇襲,小修果然很適合精靈世界,在戰鬥時腦筋非常靈活,常讓對手摸不清他的攻擊意圖。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達比克斯也不含糊,提劍就擋,雙劍對雙劍,才兩子他就屈居下風,丹塔力士想救援卻被達比克斯擋住——這說法不對,是小修移動很快,總是讓達比克斯被夾在中間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來小修站在屋頂上時就已在盤算對策。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達比克斯不甘一直被夾在中間,開始閃躲,意圖移到丹塔力士後方。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修頂多與丹塔力士交擊一兩劍,就從旁繞過去追擊達比克斯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達比克斯叫著:「這傢伙居然不怕劍風。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修不理會,只是一味進攻達比克斯,丹塔力士跟不上救援,一直被甩開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花:「達比克斯好像很怕修閣下,就算他稍慢一些,還不至於想逃吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">答案揭曉——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達比克斯與小修再次四劍交擊,噹啷的尖銳金屬聲大響,達比克斯的雙劍斷裂,身體也不再靈活閃躲,小修左劍一揮,竟然輕易削斷他右臂膀。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哀嚎聲起,小修楞住一下,又接著以手臂狠敲頸背,被擊飛的達比克斯躺在地上動也不動,小修學過武術,即使不用劍也知道如何痛擊對手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我對聖女說:「小修一直針對聖劍攻擊,一開始就打算砍斷他的雙劍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修的短劍看起來弱不禁風,沒想到還挺有威力的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我心底清楚,這是御龍寶劍的『龍咬劍咒』,無堅不摧,達比克斯之所以想逃,是因為發現短劍受創岌岌可危。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">所以小修一開始就與小蕾交換,兩支寶劍同時用上龍咬。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">丹塔力士只看了一眼達比克斯,便把注意力放回小修身上:「閣下力道不小,也想砍斷我的劍嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「天知道這種事,或許劍還沒斷,你就已經倒下了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別說太滿,我的力道不會輸的,你不是一直在躲我嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修笑道:「我只是不想一次對付兩個,既然你這麼說,那我來了——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一改對付達比克斯的突襲,小修正面迎戰大劍,似乎是有心一比高下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">丹塔力士大喝:「來的好!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雙劍交叉抵制大劍,哐噹大響雙方各退一步,不過,感覺好像只有小修在後退。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修:「還真是怪力!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">丹塔力士:「能擋下這一劍,我尊敬你,不過,我的劍可不像達比克斯的那般脆弱。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修提氣又是正面進攻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花有點著急:「不會吧!修閣下真要硬拚?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不必擔心,妳看,野津閣下到了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修與丹塔力士互擊時,野津帶著侍衛前來加入戰鬥,我們的數量已經比對方多,暫時應該安全。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花並未看向野津,而是蹙眉緊盯小修的戰鬥。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那眼神……不會吧?我心中暗嘆——小修不但擅長撩動少女心,成熟的大姐姐也不放過,我明白這是沒有希望的,對小修而言,聖女的生命只是一瞬間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幸好小蕾沒注意到,她的醋勁比我還大得多。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我回頭專注戰鬥,以往小修的力量都是用來架開對方,然後找尋空檔刺擊,累積傷害最後剝奪對方戰力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但這一次,小修雖然迅速,卻只是大開大闔不斷正面交鋒,並未趁隙突擊,我想大概是小修認同對方力量,不想耍小動作。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">表面上,彼此每一劍攻防都有到位,漸漸地,丹塔力士不斷後退,表情越加嚴肅,小修的速度不容他有絲毫猶豫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">又交鋒數次,丹塔力士出劍似乎開始動搖了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小蕾一旁解說:「丹塔力士的聖劍快完蛋了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">得仔細才看得清楚,那支聖劍缺了好幾角,是寶劍的龍咬。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">再次響起尖銳的斷劍聲,丹塔力士急往後退,卻被小修加速繞到背後反刺心窩,頸背又被金屬護套悶聲重擊,大個子頓時失去意識倒在地上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊看得目瞪口呆,桃花則是鬆了口氣一臉崇拜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩位三聖劍倒下,似乎讓武裝叛匪大受打擊,失去戰意不斷後退,對方的狙擊弓箭手也差不多被我剿清,小蕾和小修把寶劍給換了回來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修回到我身邊說:「聖女大人~剩下就交給你們,那兩個三聖劍,想救就得快點。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花只是呆呆看著小修,不發一語。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女大人……要救嗎?」小修再次詢問。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花這才回神:「呃……我還是希望救回他們,能麻煩小艾嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津也靠了過來:「我們也想問出情報,三聖劍還有一個沒出現,實在不能放心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那就我來吧!」聖女應該沒有靈力能辦到療癒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">時間回到稍早之前。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在指揮所與野津分開後,我前往西側迎擊匪徒,當然,我是跳上屋頂在村子裡移動,這樣比較快,看的也比較清楚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">到達現場,十幾名劍士不斷攻擊侍衛,另有十幾名術士卻站得有段距離,而且位置很分散,這令我感到疑惑。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">十幾名侍衛應該不敵逾卅名的匪徒,我得優先救援,不過,按理侍衛應該很快就被對方壓制,能夠撐到現在令我費解。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">提起雙劍闖入戰圈,所有匪徒劍士突然把目標轉向我,但並未攻上來,而是由周圍的術士對我擊出火球。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我立刻理解,是針對我的戰術,術士站老遠是怕我用破咒,分散開來是避免被我一網打盡,盡耍這些小把戲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我把目標放在匪徒劍士身上,一邊游走與劍士交戰,一邊用龍破揮砍襲來的火球。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">劍士們專心防守,只用寶劍一時難以清理對方,以龍破招架時也沒辦法好好催動龍炎,但是我右手的風行聖劍是專門破壞防禦的利器。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">二十分鐘左右,匪徒劍士已全部倒地,當我打算對付術士時,他們卻開始散開逃跑。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">侍衛們靠了過來:「閣下要追擊嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">逃跑也太過乾脆,術士沒與劍士併肩作戰,劍士也沒有積極攻擊,難道一開始就有輸的打算?不對,沒有人會打不會嬴的仗。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不追,保護聖女第一優先,回廣場會合,我先走一步。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">放棄追擊立刻往回跑,聖女當然重要,但艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜才是我最擔憂的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果不其然,當我回到廣場,聖女和艾莉絲都已離開,應是遭遇敵方優勢武力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">閉眼默念——御龍寶劍,告訴我你的位置!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">確認蕾菲亞娜的地點,我再次追去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幾乎是村落的邊緣,我看到衛士們與匪徒混戰,也看到蕾菲亞娜、梅琳都在戰鬥,雖然暫時沒有敗象,但是對手引起我的興趣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大個子力道沈穩,連蕾菲亞娜的力量都能逼退,索敵發現有靈力流動在大劍上,或許是劍咒的威力,另一邊的矮個子速度飛快不輸靈狐,梅琳明明躲過劍擊,卻仍然被劃傷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲注意到我,「好慢!」,我向她道個歉,便前往挑戰這兩位高手,暗忖應該可以對付兩個,既然是敵方的聖劍,毀了也無所謂,我打算用龍咬應戰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜背對著撲進我懷裡,真懷疑她是故意的,我也喚回梅琳,經過身邊時,我摸摸她的頭,她用心語術告訴我劍風利如刃鋒,我確信那是某種劍咒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">多虧蕾菲亞娜的戰鬥與梅琳的提醒,我才能輕易撂倒兩名三聖劍,說是輕易也花了不少時間,當戰鬥結束時,野津帶領的侍衛隊也收拾了所有匪徒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「安潔兒閣下,麻煩帶領廿名侍衛調查街上——聖女大人,請回帳棚休息。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津做出決策後,我把剩下的事都交給他,也讓霍爾茲把營帳搬到我的馬車附近。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女憂心的說:「那些原本的村民?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「等安潔兒閣下搜查完畢,在下整頓部隊之後,自然會搜索村民。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我帶著艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜先回馬車休息。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這時蕾菲亞娜才拿出寶劍:「小修~寶劍損傷好幾處呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放心吧!適當時間再用『龍鑄』修復,不過,那高個子的大劍還真是堅硬。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「小修挺狠的,一次毀了兩把聖劍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一般來說,倘若非偷非搶,類似今天的襲擊行動,當我打敗對方,可以合法將聖劍納為己有,聖劍在精靈世界是有限而珍貴的存在。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「他們鬧得大,我當然也要還以顏色。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說實在話,我是和平主義者,但是面對惡意精靈,也沒好心到溫柔以對,尤其對家眷出手,是更加不可能放過。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「我救回那兩個三聖劍首領,小修會不高興嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不會,我不希望有精靈死在自己劍下,只是那矮子被我砍斷手臂,心裡有點內疚。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">並非蓄意,當時本想劃傷矮個子,卻一時忘了『龍咬』還在作用中,失策削斷對方整條臂膀,連我自己都嚇了一跳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我示意少女們先別說話,因為索敵發現聖女想進來馬車。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜打開後車門讓聖女進來,她又獨自來到我的馬車,真沒防備。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那個……你們還好嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我只是點點頭表示沒問題,艾莉絲回答說:「沒事哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾不累嗎?妳剛才又用上療癒術對吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「目前還沒問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真驚訝,我第一次見到靈力積蓄如此龐大,而且居然還只是小精靈。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">戰鬥之前我已為艾莉絲補充過一次靈力,這可不能說出來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲僵硬地笑著:「還好啦……聖女找我們有事?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這個嘛,我想……請修閣下……幫忙。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幾乎是瞪視的眼神:「妾身懇請修閣下找尋村民下落。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「野津和安潔兒閣下正在進行,並非在下推諉,留在這裡確保聖女大人安全才是最重要的任務。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不需要離開馬車,用索敵術應該能找到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我索敵範圍很廣沒錯,但是早就把結果告訴了野津閣下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">整個村子都在我的索敵範圍內,但是沒有原本村民的反應,不知道被安置在哪兒,但我估計在審問匪徒之後應該會有答案。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女起身把聖杖遞給我:「用聖杖,拜託了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜和艾莉絲呆若木雞,我確實能用聖杖,但聖女應該不知道吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女卻繼續說道:「小修果然能用聖杖對吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她又直呼我的名字,意義不明,不過,現在不是糾正用辭的時候。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲揮著兩手:「那個……桃花,男性不能用聖杖吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在梅竹郡府小修用索敵術時,雖然靈線沒有反應,靈力流動卻相當厲害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來如此,高手用上索敵,就可以知道對方靈力流動,或許還有其他我不曉得的咒術能辦到,總之,當時聖女應該在偷偷觀察我,她的笑容假面讓我完全沒看出來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見我們沒回應,聖女又接著說:「前天晚上,小修也是用聖杖找到我的吧?完全不熟悉西都山城,卻比所有精靈更快鎖定我的位置,我問過安潔兒,她說搜尋我的當下,確實是小修拿著聖杖。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「慢著,那是梅琳……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「追蹤我的氣味嗎?」,聖女走到我面前微蹲逼視,「我和雛菊當天都有沐浴,為了避免被獵犬追蹤,還用上其他香味掩蓋,即使是靈狐也不可能有那麼厲害的嗅覺。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">好厲害的推理,我一時啞口無言,聖女和我的眼睛距離不到十公分,心下不敢扯謊,連艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜都懾於她的氣勢,不知道該說什麼好。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲拉住我的手:「桃花~讓小修幫妳也可以,但是我要追加條件。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這次換聖女睜大眼睛退回座位上,艾莉絲怎麼會扯上這個?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳們,怎麼——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲瞪我一眼:「小修先閉嘴,你太遲鈍了啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女嘆了一口氣:「我不會強留小修,可是——蕾菲亞娜不也是小修的伴侶嗎?再多一個有什麼關係?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和艾莉絲大惑不解,蕾菲亞娜是臉紅到說不出話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女注視著蕾菲亞娜:「我果然又猜對了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「聰明的桃花遲早都會看出來,小蕾只要在小修身邊就沒法好好掩飾。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜小聲說著:「對不起。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不出聲不行了:「聖女大人,因為發生了許多事,才變成今天的情形,但我姑且這麼說,伴侶的最低限度是雙方情投意合,只有單方面愛慕是不行的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女哀怨著望過來:「小修都這麼說了,我就答應小艾的要求,但我也有個請求。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「又有條件?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是條件,只是請求,就算你們不答應也沒關係。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯,桃花說吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我會公開承認小修是我的伴侶,我請求你們也能承認。至於未來,就算不再相見也無所謂,當然,我不會做多餘的事,也絕不會傷害你們。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原本的協議是保持瞹眛就好,現在等於是要昭告天下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈從未限制多數伴侶,因為有靈線羈絆的存在,自然而然就走向一夫一妻制。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女大人為何如此執著?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我沒打算擁有伴侶,也不想被兀罕王子或卡邦爾多諸般糾纏,當然對你們也有好處,伴侶在里德修拉,大臣們自然不敢對魯迪因德有所企圖,和平條約也容易水到渠成。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">又是扯上和平條約,我不得不說,善良的聖女非常狡猾。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲對著我說:「小修怎麼看?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不在意世俗看法,但我不能忍受小艾或小蕾受到傷害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲想了想:「如果這樣能幫助桃花,我可以接受,但是小蕾又如何呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「只要不搶走小修,我都沒意見。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">基本上我認為她已經害羞得失去判斷能力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女不再說什麼,把聖杖交到我手上,我重新發動索敵。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!西北方有大批精靈反應,沒有惡意,離這裡有二千步距,那裡什麼地方啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「二千步距……糟糕,那是大湖啊!會是村民遇害沈在湖裡嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「都有正常生命反應,如果死了索敵可沒法找到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女呼了一口氣:「太好了!我馬上通知野津閣下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「慢著,要是野津閣下問起怎麼……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放心,我會說自己用聖杖找到的,扯上聖杖秘密他們就不會多問。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女剛起身又被艾莉絲叫住:「等等,桃花是什麼時候知道小修和小蕾的關係?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她瞇眼笑著說:「雖然我不會索敵,搜尋術卻還不錯,只要用聖杖,在竹林東道找到小修不難哦!能與小艾和小蕾靈線交纏真是不可思議,不知道小修是如何辦到的,安心吧!這是我們之間的小祕密——別忘了,枱面上要承認我是小修的伴侶喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">語畢,聖女揮揮手離開馬車,留下錯愕不已的我們。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲低頭喃喃自語:「喔……好厲害,或許讓桃花成為小修的伴侶也不錯……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「剛剛不是答應她,只在枱面上承認這種關係嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">臉紅通通的蕾菲亞娜抓著我的手上下搖晃:「怎麼辦啊!被發現了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「遲早暪不住,我早就有心理準備。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不要,我只是主人的女僕,小修不可以再碰我!」蕾菲亞娜不停吼著,吵鬧著,秘密被發現一時不知所措。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——妳牢牢抓住我的手,卻叫我不可以再碰妳,這模樣實在沒有說服力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">對付一直失控吵鬧的龍女只有一招有效,我扯她過來抱住,二話不說就抓住她的耳朵奪取她的嘴唇,還是老樣子,舌尖一顫,蕾菲亞娜就倒在我的懷裡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我對艾莉絲搖搖頭,她則是抱著肚子忍住笑意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜微露淚光囁聲說道:「好過分,我明明就有抵抗。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「都是我的錯,我也知道自己壞心眼。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這一夜,我們不再離開馬車,聖女臨走一擊,搞得我心神不定,外頭的事都交給野津和霍爾茲處理,再次使用療癒術的艾莉絲很快就睡熟。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">然而,有所執念的蕾菲亞娜卻在忸怩地自責,不管我好說歹說,她都認為是自己露了餡,我只好抱在懷裡哄著,若非親眼所見,我絕不相信她是五百歲的靈龍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">清早天剛亮,一晚折騰,除了哨衛,大家都還在睡,艾莉絲當然也在賴床,不過,我總會讓梅琳進去陪著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜被我一整晚抱著睡,似乎心情非常好,跟著我起床後就在馬車外起爐準備早餐,我沒打算晨練,一旁幫著忙。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不過,平靜的時間總是很短。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊出了營帳就衝到我面前:「修—閣—下—你……你怎麼可以勾引聖女大人?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我緊張地揮著手:「我沒……聖女沒跟妳說清楚嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哼!她一臉高興還唱著歌,我覺得奇怪才問,聖女說修閣下是她的伴侶,還說是你們答應的,為什麼連小艾公主都會同意呀?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜放下廚具,雙手叉腰:「可別亂說勾引,我家主人是被聖女逼的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修閣下真是無……無……花心啦!都已經有羈絆者,我不同意啦!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——妳是想說無恥吧?搞事的可不是我,至於花心……我沒法否認。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女才是想爭寵,我家主人明明都締結靈線過,我也不想同意。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——小蕾啊!妳早知我有羈絆者還擅自喜歡我,虧妳還敢說不同意。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒多久,聖女也出了營帳,雛菊和蕾菲亞娜互相哼地一聲別過頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不知怎地,從昨晚要求我承認她是伴侶後,就直呼蕾菲亞娜的小名。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女走到我旁邊,挽著我的胳臂,「小修~陪我去指揮所了解狀況。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「總之你要遵守昨晚的約定,我可是知道你的秘密哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女故意瞄了一眼蕾菲亞娜,這算是威脅吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只能隨波逐流,就這樣被她拉去指揮所,我回頭望著,雛菊氣得握住拳頭,本該醋勁發作的蕾菲亞娜,因為被聖女提點『秘密』轉而臉紅害羞。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和艾莉絲年紀太輕,擺脫不了聖女的強勢要脅,最年長智慧的蕾菲亞娜,又因為被識破羈伴關係而陷入自我混亂,『伴侶』這件事我大概很難全身而退。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幸好挽手只到離開廣場為止,畢竟聖女還得維持合乎身分的儀態。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">昨天中午,村民就被綁走,匪徒們喬裝成村民散佈在各個商店,負責餐飲店的在酒菜裡下麻藥,負責禮品店的,就以私藏好貨誘惑衛士進到有埋伏的小房間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津安排一半侍衛留守封村,另外一半則自由上街休閒,使節團衛士也比照辦理,侍衛與衛士都一樣,平時沒有好娛樂,就喜歡喝點東西聊聊八卦,麻藥發作時就被制住無法行動,然而天色漸黑,異狀未被即時發現。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">村落西側與南側受襲,其實只是佯攻,主力部隊早就混入村內,使得野津的封村失去作用,佯攻只是為了誘離野津與安潔兒,埋伏村內的主力部隊負責消滅聖女,三聖劍中的兩名首領,則負責牽制我這個御龍劍士。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為聖女與小艾公主都很有名氣,所以一開始就利用各小村落的重症傷患,聚集過來要求治療,好消耗聖女與小艾公主的靈力,令她們在突襲時失去作用。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">平定佯攻的是我和野津,野津甚至被調離村口數百步距之後,才發現不對勁折回村內,我沒上當不是因為聰明,而是我所在意的就只有聖女與艾莉絲,對捕捉匪徒一點興趣都沒有。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">匪徒沒料到艾莉絲靈力不減,泰半狙擊弓箭手都被她射倒,也沒計算到蕾菲亞娜與梅琳的存在,完全無法接近聖女。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">達比克斯與丹塔力士最後確實是與我交手,不過得反過來說,是他們被蕾菲亞娜和梅琳牽制,直到我趕過來,而且還讓我看個明白好擬定對策。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">可惜的是,匪徒只聽令首領,對於指使三聖劍的背後主謀全然不識,達比克斯與丹塔力士從頭到尾避談關鍵情報,也堅不透露最後一名三聖劍身分,講求靈格的精靈,似乎不太擅常『拷問』,但是精靈律法與人類差很多,不說實話是可以關上一輩子的。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">被綁走的村民,在村外湖邊被找到,全被綁住手腳、矇上眼睛、封住嘴巴,趕上一艘艘的小船,小船停泊湖中以防村民脫逃,因為我提供確實位置,野津才得以最快速把村民救了回來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">或許是馬後砲,昨夜野津派遣快馬,帶著聖女諭令趕回王都,直接調派衛士營騎兵連夜火速趕來,估計再過不久就能會合。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">可以想像,在搖晃的船上,看不到喊不出,沒吃沒喝,忍不住就會失禁,而且夜風陰冷,生病與心理受創都在所難免,更何況還有好幾個幼精靈,我現在反而覺得,聖女昨晚有來『要脅』實在是太好了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女聽完做出指示:「等一會再派出侍衛前去安撫村民,看看有沒有缺什麼東西,如果有被掠奪的,儘量做個補償。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女點點頭看向我:「小修,你那兒有什麼問題嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女這不是白問嗎?負責使節團衛士的是霍爾茲,安潔兒甚至比我更清楚狀況,我猜聖女只是想在安潔兒面前公開喊我小名,恐怕她打算以後都這麼做,我很尷尬呀!好想現在就回去里德修拉。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">肯定又是故意的,這種小事讓安潔兒陪就可以了吧?晚點艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜又要對我鬧彆扭。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津不浪費時間,立刻下令拔營出發,獲救的村民們也到村口列隊歡送,聖女親自慰問還低頭道歉,這反而更得村民愛戴,我不禁深深佩服,在這方面做的很不錯,或許是上任聖女的教導有方。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">才離開村子,聖女就獨自鑽進我的馬車,並未帶上雛菊和安潔兒,順帶一提,雛菊從蕾菲亞娜得知聖女昨晚的要求,看見我就猛道歉,我讓她別在意。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好吧……聖女」,我絕不會叫桃花,會出事的,「兩次襲擊的組織或手段,絕非一般盜匪燒殺掠奪,很明顯就是政治事件,難道放任不管嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「三聖劍多次襲奪官方貨運,確實被列為盜匪集團,巡守隊一直很頭痛,也沒有明確証據與哪位大臣有關,硬要扯上政治也不行。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我所知道的盜匪,因為活動於荒村野嶺,靈素取得有限,大都是精靈術不太靈光的傢伙,但是來襲匪徒靈力充沛咒術上手,為何如此輕易窩藏於城市之內?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為努哈巴爾村的襲擊事件,王都並未舉行歡迎盛會,聖女一回王城,立即召來三位丞相開會,除了報告里德修拉之行,也說明兩次被襲擊的始末。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">普橋吉夫率先發言:「野津閣下終於逮住兩名『三聖劍』首領,厥功甚偉。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">左丞相普橋吉夫負責內政,巡守隊一直抓不著三聖劍,他也很頭痛。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津低頭回說:「他們是被御龍劍士所擒獲,野津不敢居功。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">普橋吉夫:「那臣應該找個機會向御龍劍士道謝。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「妾身自有定奪,左相不必著急。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「御龍劍士修閣下正在調製一種奇特的『自白劑』,兩天後就完成,能讓那兩個首領自動招供第三個首領和背後指使者。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">右丞相赫立魯夫:「在下愚昧,有『自白劑』這種東西嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「修閣下來自遙遠異鄉,有一種『自白劑』的特殊製藥技術,專門對付頑劣撒謊的罪犯。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">赫立魯夫:「胡亂給罪犯用藥,有違高尚靈格。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「請放心,修閣下保証,這藥只讓罪犯說實話,既不痛苦也無傷害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">赫立魯夫頗為動搖,但仍然保持鎮定。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">普橋吉夫:「只要不會造成傷害,在下認為使用『自白劑』並無不妥,此外,灰衣精靈襲擊事件,有可能是魯迪因德的不友善嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「完全相反,出手相救聖女的是里德修拉靈劍士修閣下,順帶一說,雖然沒有証據,但鐵拉布塔王國的二王子圖謀加害聖女,也是修閣下幕後協助解決。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">中丞相裘絲敏院長:「灰衣精靈是盜匪行逕,也不能排除魯迪因德有險惡勢力。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「如果是盜匪,付贖就能了事,但對方明顯想置聖女大人於死地。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">赫立魯夫:「魯迪因德治安真差,搶不著就想殺害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「上卿此言差矣!依據安潔兒閣下報告,對方並非盜匪,說難聽一點,恐怕與我們修特羅里脫不了干係。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">赫立魯夫:「如果早把里德修拉納入修特羅里王國,就不會發生這種事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使硬掰,在場並沒有誰表示驚訝,因為安達魯變成廢墟後,赫立魯夫已數次表達類似的意見。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「根本不需要這麼做,我們彼此會加深友好關係。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">赫立魯夫:「聖女大人……這部分是由屬下負責的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「右相請勿逾越,按律法,上卿只管執行,負責的是聖女,況且妾身已經下定決心,與魯迪因德簽訂和平條約。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">赫立魯夫:「簽訂和平修約?聖女大人,針對這一點,我們應該私下多作討論。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女冷眼盯著赫立魯夫:「若非上卿阻撓,和平條約早已辦妥,也不至於發生這兩次襲擊事件差些要了性命,上卿若再違抗拖拉,妾身只好另請高明。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">言下之意,還巧妙的將自己遇險這筆帳,算在赫立魯夫頭上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">強硬的最後通牒,赫立魯夫當然明白:「請給兩天時間,屬下會派文員與魯迪因德使節團商討條約細節。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">以往,桃花自知勢力不足,即使意見相左也總是相忍,如今,她認為時機成熟,更有御龍劍士這張手牌,想趁著這個契機一舉取回自己的權力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「此外,請在座各位毋須擔心兩國情誼經不起考驗,三天後,妾身將對王都子民發表演說,第一是宣布全面接管政務,妾身感謝三位丞相的攝政輔佐,以後還請多指教,第二,是宣布妾身的伴侶候選。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">全面接管並不意外,算算聖女歷練時機上也差不多,但提及伴侶一事使得在座諸位大吃一驚,只有野津早已知情並未慌亂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">裘絲敏院長:「恭喜聖女,如此年輕便決定伴侶,請教是哪一位幸運兒呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「正是與妾身有救命恩情的里德修拉靈劍士修.南宮。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">三相再次吃了一驚,面面相覻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">普橋吉夫:「在下並非反對,此舉是否有欠考慮,修閣下並非來自王室,家族也未對修特羅里有所貢獻,再說,他似乎已有羈絆者。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「妾身三次受到修閣下犯險拯救,這就是對修特羅里莫大的貢獻,除了以身相許無以為報,況且,修閣下的羈絆者是『詠月公主』小艾.魯迪因德,伴侶之事已得到諒解,上卿不必擔心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">赫立魯夫:「伴侶選擇其他王國的靈劍士,真的能行嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「當然,妾身並非什麼都沒想就這麼做,第一,修閣下殺龍平亂,其他王國也不敢小覷,結為伴侶兩國友好將牢不可破,第二,正因為已有羈絆者,所以各位不必擔心妾身一時失去理智而締結靈線,第三,爾後修閣下常居里德修拉,可避免妾身沉溺私情耽誤國事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">裘絲敏院長:「倘若不能長相左右,不僅是屬下,百姓也會為聖女感到不捨。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「是有點遺憾,但是這樣更適合,妾身早有決定把自己奉獻給修特羅里,若強留修閣下長住,魯迪因德也會很頭痛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">赫立魯夫:「聽說修閣下還只是小精靈?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女笑道:「赫立魯夫卿居然調查得如此很清楚。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">赫立魯夫:「鄰國重大情報,屬下自當努力搜集。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「以年齡描述並不恰當,不過,修閣下與聖女站在一起確實非常匹配。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">裘絲敏院長:「屬下只是擔心,未能一起生活,容易被百姓認為是假伴侶吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「無法締結靈線,交往本身就不尋常,就算退一步是假的,這個政治伴侶也對我們有利,但是——以聖女之名立誓,妾身真心喜愛修閣下,結為伴侶一事,也確實得到修閣下與小艾公主的允諾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">算是稍許詭辯,這允諾幾乎是用蕾菲亞娜的秘密交換來的,桃花巧妙地說成兩情相悅。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">普橋吉夫:「既然身為靈劍士,肯定也有相當靈格,屬下支持聖女決定。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">裘絲敏院長點點頭表示認同,謹慎的她不打算用言語明確表態。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">赫立魯夫則是面無表情,所提異議全都被完美駁回,聖女與數年前的默不吭聲大不相同,會議走向已經不由自主,這也是他想除掉聖女的主因。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津內心暗忖——聖女似乎是真的愛上修閣下,但這樣真的好嗎?——他所期盼的,是一個能夠與聖女朝夕相處的真正伴侶。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「各位若無異議,我們就此定案,三天後的晨間演說,請普橋吉夫卿準備安排。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">事如所願,聖女起身深深行禮,笑瞇瞇地離開會議室。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">今天的行程分成兩個隊伍,一個是考察路線組,由亞歷山大城主、皮耶爾院長與霍爾茲為中心的政治交際,基本上著重於城市交流。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">另一個則是觀光路線組,主要成員有艾莉絲、蕾菲亞娜、桃花、雛菊、野津與安潔兒,大概是昨晚的失蹤風波影響,當我們與亞歷山大分開時,野津大發慈悲,讓大家全換上便裝,並放棄禮車,改搭私營馬車出遊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">出發之前,艾莉絲把貴重的射月聖弓借放在城主的珍寶倉庫中,帶出門太招搖,房間隨時會有侍僕來打掃,珍寶倉庫有衛士看守,比較安全些。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津很清楚,一旦回到王都,聖女想要如此輕鬆出遊幾乎是不可能的事,他能夠如此放心,是因為有我和梅琳在。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在人間我也有關係密切的兩、三位異性朋友,她們遇到挫折或失戀也會找我抱怨哭訴,拍背安慰擁抱鎮定算是稀鬆平常,保守的精靈卻很抗拒肌膚接觸,雖說每一次聖女都有充分理由,但是又是牽手又是哭泣,甚至是傾吐心聲,實在很擔心她會把我視作『地下情人』。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然,聖女就是想獨自承擔,才會選擇偷偷離開。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津接著又說:「雛菊本來反對偷跑,聖女卻說不必擔心,還說修閣下很快就會跟上,說來奇怪,修閣下是第一次來到西都山,卻能最先找到聖女的足跡,在下實在不得不懷疑,你們有某種關聯。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">修特羅里王國有三位丞相,中相裘絲敏是靈術士,也是修道院長,司掌國法,左相普橋吉夫,上卿,負責內政治理,右相赫立魯夫,上卿,負責外交與國防,聖女交替時,三位丞相會讓國政順利執行,上一任聖女秀波則致力教導現任聖女桃花,正因為有三相視事,聖女出訪也不至於影響國政。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在差不多六年的傳承期間,桃花除了要熟悉使用聖杖,還得熟知國內外大小事,並學習如何決斷,傳承期之後,新任聖女才漸漸展現意志主導國政未來方向,但細節上仍由三位丞相處理。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">右相赫立魯夫是位名將,他積極對外交涉,各地衛士營也逐漸充實而強大,上任聖女秀波以維持現狀為主要方針,赫立魯夫無法反抗,遂對現任聖女桃花洗腦,舊安達魯城在大火中殞落,赫立魯夫認為是個好機會,極力鼓吹意欲拿下里德修拉,然而聖女不為所動,堅持兵力是為了保護自己,而非引發戰爭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聽到這裡我大致明白,阿德列斯對赫立魯夫的意向應當有所了解,為了化解危機才會積極促成和平條約,聖女也傾向兩國和平相處,立場上與赫立魯夫恐有衝突。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我想到當初安流爾斯說過,萬一聖女在城郊遇難,等於給了修特羅里出兵的口實,灰衣精靈提到聖女死活不拘也有道理。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">難怪聖女說要在西都山多留一天時,野津即使反對也未堅持,與其說他與安潔兒忠心服從,還不如說他們很寵聖女。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對方那種程度小修自認還擋得住,但是……赫立魯夫不會調動衛士營吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不至於,雖說赫立魯夫負責管理,但衛士營誓忠對象是王國與聖女,想利用衛士營倒戈只會被反噬。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這樣就能稍為放心,面對成千上萬的軍隊,我也只能帶著艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜逃之夭夭。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津、安潔兒與雛菊趕緊追了上去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">自己也不能置身事外:「我去看看怎麼回事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一起去吧!如果需要治療我也能幫上忙。」艾莉絲跟著跳下馬車。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">正如聖女所說,前頭聚集了十多名傷患,還有個斷腿的最嚴重,有一半是疾病患者。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津拗不過聖女,只好諭令車隊休息,搭起臨時急診帳棚,並讓傷患們一一排隊,寫下資料與自身的傷疾,艾莉絲也入帳協助。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒緊跟著聖女,這是她的職責,當野津指揮調度,她就得貼身護衛。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我悄悄走近安潔兒偷偷問道:「這村子也太多傷患了吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不全是來自努哈巴爾村,還有散居各處的精靈,因為知道聖女中午會經過而守候。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「太奇怪了?就算是前進哨衛通知的,也不可能臨時都趕得過來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然不可能,我們查過是不知名精靈的通知,一聽就知道有問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊也說:「聖女大人個性溫厚,不可能放著這些傷患不管。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就算有小艾幫忙,這麼多傷患恐怕……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「正如閣下所料,不到落日處理不完的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">發現狀況不對勁,霍爾茲也過來關切。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩名病患才處理完,霍爾茲上前勸諫:「聖女大人~狀況不妙啊!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一名小女孩走到聖女前伏地磕頭:「感謝聖女大人,母親……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女扶她起身:「別哭,我不會讓妳母親有事的,妳可以幫忙嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小女孩擦著眼淚:「聖女大人吩咐,我一定照辦!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可不能哭哦!要跟我一樣,努力照顧每個傷患。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小女孩點著頭:「一定,我會幫忙舖毯子。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">被救治的傷患們不斷輪流向聖女道謝。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霍爾茲嘆了一口氣,這種情況實在不允許他阻止。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我得做最壞打算:「對方可能想拖住我們,也在耗損聖女的靈力。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「明白,在下立刻調度。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霍爾茲:「把我們的兵力算在內,既然如此,先安排最安全的落腳處。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「我們徵用努哈巴爾村民屋,就在那兒建立防線,晚上封村,武器隨身戒備,務必讓聖女遠離危險。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">很明顯的拖延陷阱,連我都能看得出來,但是不管說什麼聖女都不肯走,傷患也不願放棄治療的機會,真不知道之後會有什麼在等著我們。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">事實上,我與霍爾茲有背地任務,必須保護聖女安全返還王城,即使聖女對霍爾茲說使節團可以先走,他也不可能照辦,更何況明擺著事有蹊蹺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">落日之前,聖女與艾莉絲終於把傷患們治療完畢,但她們倆也癱了,在野津的引導下,我們遷入努哈巴爾村,衛士們也搭了營帳供傷患暫住。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津吩咐在不干擾村民的作息下,在村落周圍部署警戒線,我的馬車停駐村落中央廣場,緊臨著聖女的營帳,野津寄望由我來保護聖女。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原本沒有打算野營,炊事食材不足,野津和霍爾茲讓一半的侍衛隊與衛士隊輪流到村裡各個餐館或商店自由用餐,村子出入口都有派員警戒,聽到遭襲警報也來得及歸隊。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">草草用過晚餐,艾莉絲拉著我回馬車,對大家說要先休息,我知道她想做什麼。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜笑得詭異,艾莉絲小臉紅通通地,這模樣可愛極了,我拉著她進入馬車,放下窗簾。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我抱著艾莉絲倚坐窗邊:「今天辛苦妳了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲嘟著嘴:「討厭!你和小蕾這樣笑,我會害羞啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">靈線連結能把靈力快速分享給羈絆者,不僅對蕾菲亞娜有用,對艾莉絲也有效,差別在於蕾菲亞娜吸收很快,艾莉絲較慢一些,這大概是羈絆靈線與誓約靈線的差異。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">附近全是衛士,艾莉絲內心動搖又害羞。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我輕撫她的小手,讓她靠上我的胸膛,開始輕吻她的臉龐。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">與蕾菲亞娜的主動來勁不同,艾莉絲一旦開始就會把自己全部交給我。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只是輕舔小唇,小精靈的眼神就開始迷濛,她閉上眼全身放鬆,我毫不猶豫以舌尖喚醒她的靈線,讓彼此的愛意交纏著。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然今天太勞累,射月聖弓或療癒術靈力消耗都大,靈線交纏結束,艾莉絲蜷縮睡在我懷裡,小精靈的睡臉實在可愛,不管幾次都看不膩。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">過了好一會兒,我發現聖女出了帳棚,似乎想過來我們的馬車。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我點開夜光石晶,聖女進來坐在另一邊。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女笑嘻嘻的,我有種事跡敗露的感覺。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女很敏感,而且帳棚近在咫尺,我想否認也沒用。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲慌張著坐起身子:「桃花?妳怎在這裡?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,我擔心妳靈力耗盡過來探望,沒想到妳居然說靈力回復了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「啊!不,是我原本就還有不少靈力,小睡一下就好多了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我幫著試圖轉移話題:「聖女大人狀況又如何?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妾身靈力沒小艾那麼充沛,得等明天回到阿坎拉靠精靈樹補充。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那也是沒辦法的事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真對不起,因為自己的任性,讓大家都留在這裡。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「別這麼說,換做我也是一樣的決定,對著那些傷患揮袖而去太殘忍!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「幾乎都是一般治療師沒辦法應付的傷患,大致上都解決了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「桃花心地真好,比起自己安危,更加重視傷患。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「以領導者角度來看,妾身算是不及格吶!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果惡徒敢來,我不會再手下留情。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「這個……即使是惡徒,妾身也希望閣下不要痛下殺手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女和小艾一樣仁心宅厚,這等治理國事的胸懷,小修很敬佩。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲掀起窗簾望向外頭:「這個小村子看起來很平靜。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「是啊~感覺就像與世無爭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">平靜?與世無爭?有點像阿爾姆小村的感覺,但是不太對勁……</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「我還以為會有盛大的歡迎。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我終於明白悶在心中的怪異感。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳們……留在這別亂跑。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">推開倚偎身上的羈絆者就往外跑,蕾菲亞娜見我衝出來,有點訝異。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾、梅琳~守護小艾和聖女。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒時間理會她們的反應,我迅速來到野津的指揮所,希望還來得及。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修閣下……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津正與霍爾茲喝茶,對我的闖入感到不解。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「村民有問題,請趕緊調查。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誒——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「村民太冷靜,完全不像聖女蒞臨的場面。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看得到的村民幾乎都是男性,而且沒有老人與小孩,個個有禮貌,但是態度過分一致,簡直就像是被安排的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津理解並認同這個說法:「在下立刻召回衛士,還有一半在街上商店內。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霍爾茲對隨侍下達與野津一樣的命令。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">對外防禦工程完美,但如果是裡應外合就糟了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">噹~噹~噹——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「敵襲——」傳來哨衛的警告,伴隨著急敲的鐘聲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">晚了一步嗎?我們走出帳棚外,一支火箭拖尾劃過高空。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我明白這只是開頭信號,接下來才是最要命的突襲。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">向查理德探到兀罕的下榻旅館,他只是輕描淡寫——一切小心!——真暪不過,但也似乎不擔心我想做的事,甚至明指兀罕與瓦立培夫的房間所在,情報詳細程度令我驚訝,『帶著六十餘名衛士來到這個小城,沒道理不去調查對方底細。』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">護衛數量幾乎是聖女使節團的兩倍,查理德也因為調查才知道瓦立培夫的存在。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在市集意圖殺害卡邦爾多嫁禍於我的,似乎就是瓦立培夫,姐姐曾經教誨,只要了解對手策略,應對就會變得容易,一理通百理皆通。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——你既然有所圖謀,我可沒道理坐以待斃。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修潛入也不是一次兩次的事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果主人讓小蕾跟著會更安全。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜都同意密探計畫,順利得讓我嚇一跳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">接近旅館時,先以索敵術確認每個監哨的位置,兀罕和瓦立培夫都不在房內,花了點時間才發現他倆都在頂樓花園,我進入旅館如入無人之境,只要不被目擊,『龍隱』可以避開對方的索敵術探測,傷腦筋的是,進入頂樓唯一的門口有兩名衛士把守,強行通過不可能不引起騷動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">目的並非戰鬥,而是取得情報,因此暫不打算正面衝突,我悄然退開,再次掌握兀罕與瓦立培夫的精確位置,從三樓某個房間窗戶攀爬而出,沿著屋緣登上頂樓,我越來越大膽,就算不小心摔下去也能控風穩住不至於受傷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">避開對方視野,我躲進高疊的肥料箱後,異味難聞,王子和靈劍士肯定不會冒然接近。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聽不見談話聲,知道是音蔽咒術,我在布羅倪就已見識過,提起寶劍一揮,『龍破』立時破除咒術,話語終於傳來,我坐下閉眼保持靜肅,專心於索敵與竊聽。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一開始都是廢話,無妨,竊聽就是要有耐心,漸漸地,兀罕失控開始辱罵聖女,追求不到就反目相向,格調也太過低俗。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">俗話說越難追到手的越珍貴,虧他還是王子,實在是缺乏毅力,不過聖女言明完全不考慮伴侶,不管兀罕怎麼做都是白費心機,趁早放棄對他來說也算是好事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">之後又提起我的名號,我耳朵豎得高高的,應証了不能隨便背後亂說壞話的道理。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——要說聖女對誰有興趣,就只有那位御龍劍士而已。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——聖女都是與御龍劍士在一起,形影不離,所以早就暗地有譜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——在舞會裡,聖女不是牽了御龍劍士的手嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——公主可能已經默許聖女成為御龍劍士的情婦。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然依著聖女的劇本走,『早就暗地有譜?』,我不禁操心自己的未來,要是被吟遊精靈拿去當底稿可不得了,乾脆先把靈劍士名銜還給城主算了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——明白,這女的我也不想要了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——原來如此,假裝在里德修拉遇害。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——侍衛隊不是有我們的內應嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聽到必要的情報,我更加提神專注。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是越聽越驚,他們竟然打算除掉聖女,殺害整個使節團,還要嫁禍給里德修拉,從話語裡頭判斷,與前幾天襲擊聖女的灰衣精靈似乎沒有關聯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我努力保持平靜思考如何應對,監視?攔截?英雄救美?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">好麻煩啊!我比較希望把聖女送出城,然後就大功告成回家慶祝一番,但是聖女不能死,她一死,和平條約就白搭了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">也有偷懶的方法,反正對方目標不是艾莉絲或蕾菲亞娜,瓦立培夫似乎也很怕惹上我,乾脆把消息通知城主,讓他去傷腦筋——不對,這一來城主肯定又是指派我去搞定。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕與瓦立培夫喝起酒,居然像是慶功宴一樣,這也令我有點懊惱氣憤。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——決定了!此時此刻必須徹底解決。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">就算不能動瓦立培夫,也要讓他不敢踏進里德修拉一步。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">悄悄離開頂樓,重新摸進一樓,透過索敵,我早已清楚每個監視哨衛位置,他們太過依靠索敵術,我輕易放倒三個哨衛,塞藏到隱密處,我在接近頂樓入口階梯之前解除『龍隱』,守門衛士在呼救之前就被『鐵腕』迅速擊昏,我毫不猶豫推門踏入。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">之所以大費周章,是因為我不想『龍隱術』的存在被曝光,以精靈常識而言,在索敵之前隱藏氣息是不可能的事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一進入頂樓我立刻關上門閂,還用蠻力給敲壞,免得衛士們太早衝進來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我大方的朝瓦立培夫走去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修閣下,好久不見。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「他就是御龍劍士?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我索性直接取下面罩,比起兀罕的慌亂,瓦立培夫鎮定多了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「閣下居然知道是我,別來無恙!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「舞會裡互相見過了吧?背後長劍和腰間短劍,只有閣下是如此特殊的雙劍士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真不愧是『鐵拉布塔』的靈劍士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉沒能上前招呼,修閣下要喝一杯嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我故意加重語氣,暗諷他移籍跳槽,但是瓦立培夫置若罔聞。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喝酒誤事,算了吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我早知道劍會露餡,不過也沒打算隱暪,走到鄰桌坐下,刻意不與他們坐在一起。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕指著我喝斥:「你知道我是誰吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯啊!想追聖女又追不著的笨蛋?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「說……說這種無禮的話,還算是靈劍士嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒辦法,我就這個樣子,我還在龐加拉度家門口大鬧過哩!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~藝高膽大,佩服——殿下大人,請別把御龍劍士當成毛頭小子,會吃大虧的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕這才鎮定下來不再吭聲,我的人生歷練太短和精靈相比是完敗,但是精靈沒有良好的教育制度,也沒有便利的資訊管道,我至少唸到大學看過不少書籍影劇,又曾是戲劇社員,模仿電視耍流氓還不至於太困難。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你算冷靜的,我還以為會直接動手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我確實打不過閣下,就算加上殿下也沒有勝算。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這句話不是說給我聽的,兀罕的神情明顯動搖,但我清楚誰才是對手,也不想理會這個笨蛋王子,瓦立培夫偷瞄了一眼王子又回到談話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「看來閣下也不是來找麻煩的,是想談談嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呃……我其實是打算嚇唬你們。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~閣下用武藝嚇唬可能比較管用……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">咚咚咚~伴隨著敲門聲,還傳來幾個衛士在門後呼喊殿下的聲音。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕神情轉為開心:「救兵來了,你再厲害也打不過那麼多衛士。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那可不一定,你們也不過六十幾個而已,我可以全都宰了,然後丟到鐵拉布塔王都,假裝你們都已回國,然後被自己人殺害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕與瓦立培夫神情變了,這正是他們想對聖女做的事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我繼續說著:「可以請殿下讓衛士們安靜嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瓦立培夫嘆了口氣:「請殿下先依著吧!估計暫時沒事,一旦惹惱屬下可擋不住。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕終於妥協走到門旁吩咐衛士,說自己沒危險,叫衛士待命不准進入,因為沒了門閂能夠開門逃走,只好回來就座。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕怒道:「難道不怕我們舉發你闖入住所嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然怕啊!到時候,就只好說出我所知道的真相。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聽懂我的話,兀罕安靜了,舉發我就說出他的陰謀,對誰都沒好處。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「閣下想談什麼?」瓦立培夫取回談話權。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「第一件,聖女回家之前出事,就算在殿下頭上,我才不管修特羅里會不會打過來,也不管聖女是不是在『綠湖森林』遇害,天涯海角我都會追著,幹掉你們給聖女報仇。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕驚慌說著:「你……你怎麼會知道?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瓦立培夫搖著頭:「閣下本事厲害,在下真心佩服,再怎麼說閣下也沒証據吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不難吧?你們藏在侍衛隊的內應,一下子就全招了,真不耐打啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「什麼?你們對阿魯巴做了什……」發現失言,兀罕立刻摀上嘴巴,後悔莫及。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哦~原來他叫阿魯巴啊!」我壞笑著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瓦立培夫嘆了口氣:「剛說閣下武藝嚇唬比較管用,在下誠心收回這句話。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不客氣,能得到靈劍士的認可,真是榮幸。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「敢問閣下打算怎麼做?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那得先問問你們想怎麼做。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「全由兀罕殿下定奪,在下只是聽命行事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們兩國是有和平條約的,你也不能拿我怎麼辦?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我起身拔出御龍寶劍:「那就先取下你的腦袋,再來想想該怎麼辦?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕立刻站起發動火炎障壁,我立刻破咒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我的障壁?沒能發動。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瓦立培夫眉頭一皺也起身拔出長劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誒?瓦立培夫~我還以為你不敢動手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「殿下始終是主子,不得不以性命相保,閣下不用長劍嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「取你主子腦袋用短劍就夠。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我發動『龍行』加速欺近,瓦立培夫也立刻還擊,因為我只用短劍,另一隻手順手抓起椅子扔過去,他也不干示弱,一劍就劈開椅子展現威力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這只不過是障眼法,我龍行迅速從旁側繞過去,瓦立培夫的缺點就是速度慢,當他擋下椅子的剎那,我已經用寶劍抵住兀罕的脖子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不帶劍的二王子肯定是不會用劍的術士,近距相爭又有破咒壓制,擒伏他輕而易舉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕顫抖著說:「我信了,我信了,都聽你的,閣下饒命。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">拍拍他的肩膀讓他坐下,我也撤劍坐回原位,表示無意取他性命,只是純粹展示力量,瓦立培夫也放棄戰鬥將長劍入鞘,我越是有餘裕,兀罕就越害怕。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「或許殿下當是空口大話,但還是要說,就算躲在王城,我也有辦法摘下你的腦袋。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「再說一次,如果聖女出事,這筆帳就算在殿下頭上,你最好有躲一輩子的覺悟。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「殿下的定奪,就是我的決定。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕豁然大悟似地:「如此維護,你果然和聖女有瞹眛關係。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼想是你們的事,我沒必要解釋。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">其實我真的很想解釋,只不過,他們誤解對聖女比較有利,想動手也會有所顧忌。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瓦立培夫:「閣下剛說這是第一件事,接下來呢?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「麻煩你轉告龐加拉度,公主脾氣好肚量大,王城大火的事就此了結,只要他不再給魯迪因德添亂,公主就放過他。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不知道龐加拉度在哪裡。」這句話怎麼看都是裝蒜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「無所謂,沒能傳達我也不會為難你,我的個性是除惡務盡一個不留,若非公主有交代,肯定不會讓你活著,那個什麼鬼條約我才管不著。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你知道烏丹普夫是誰嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大概是龐加拉度的孫執輩吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「公主殺了他唯一後代,你認為他肯罷手?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「該說彼此彼此,雖然不是親手,公主的父親也算是被龐加拉度所加害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這種說法對龐加拉度是非常寬大的下台階,瓦立培夫也很明白,不過,是否願意接受就很難說了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好吧!在下答應,只要見到龐加拉度一定轉達。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,簡單一點就行。以後不准你——瓦立培夫再踏進里德修拉一步。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只是打過一架,就要在下不得踏入里德修拉,似乎有點過分吧?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嫌誠意不足?那我加碼,閣下今天在市集傷害精靈的事,我可以忘記。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瓦立培夫瞇起眼:「在下不門白閣下在說什麼?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我懶的爭辯,既然能夠知道你們想襲擊聖女,嫁禍給我這種小事就更甭說了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你到底何方神聖?怎麼會知道這些?」兀罕這一問就成了不打自招。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我笑著回說:「商業機密。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瓦立培夫考慮了半响:「我只聽主子的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那好,叫主子別讓你來里德修拉。」,我轉向冷眼瞪視兀罕,用上警告語氣,「要是主子堅持要你來送死,我不但會成全,還會連你主子一併收拾,下次見面可沒今天這樣好說話。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真沒辦法,難怪龐加拉度說閣下年輕氣盛,不好招惹。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,這缺點很難改了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好,第三點在下也答應,至少不會主動踏進這個城市。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這樣就行,我走了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「閣下就這樣相信?不怕我們作假答應?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我的乾脆反而讓瓦立培夫吃了一驚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「無所謂,建議你們要愛惜生命,幸好是平安祭期間,我可沒想隨意見血。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我走向頂樓邊緣,跳上矮牆拔出長劍,回頭又說:「順帶一提,你們的動向都在我掌握之中,希望能夠好聚好散,多有得罪尚請見諒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說罷,我掩上面罩,催動風行術,從三樓頂往下跳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">後面響起兀罕的叫聲,「他真跳下去,這裡是三樓,會死的吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我可還不想死,還得趕緊回去把阿魯巴那傢伙給揪出來才行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夜更深,在大廳內,除了艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜,聖女和雛菊也在,我們喝茶等待著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津和安潔兒終於來到,一進大廳便行了鞠躬大禮。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「非常感謝閣下大人,阿魯巴已經招供,如閣下所言,他是兀罕殿下派來的臥底,光憑這一點,就足以証明鐵拉布塔企圖不軌。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當我一回到梅竹郡府,立刻把聖女、野津找來,說明兀罕的陰謀,並要求先行逮捕阿魯巴這個內賊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「野津閣下不必拘禮,坐下談吧!安潔兒閣下,妳也請坐。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使我這麼說,兩位靈級士在得到聖女頜首同意後才坐下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「入城之前得閣下相救,返國前夕又受閣下庇護,大恩難報,妾身只好——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「來客是尊,小修只是盡己本分,不必掛在心上。」我打斷聖女的話,萬一說出以身相許我就完蛋了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲嘆道:「難得聖女出遠門玩一趟,真是多災多難。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「阿魯巴有說出其他情報嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「在鐵拉布塔王城,兀罕二王子自成一派,似有意圖取代真冬大王子的王儲地位,這次針對聖女的陰謀,似乎也是兀罕這一派所為,陛下與真冬並不知情。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">事關國際情勢,我也不太明白,只能之後再上報城主。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「雖說兀罕針對聖女而來,但是在下判斷,他最終是對魯迪因德有所企圖,或許阿魯巴可以成為貴國有利的籌碼,但一切須由聖女大人定奪。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好的,我會通知城務廳前來拘提——此外,小修厚顏再次向建議,兩國和平條約若能早日簽訂,鐵拉布塔就沒必要算計聖女大人。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女點頭允諾。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我苦笑著,即使對兀罕否認也沒用,他會這樣想,其他名流貴族大概相去不遠。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這一點也可寬心,事件嚴重已由衛士營接管,將會派出監哨,監督兀罕確實回國。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「確有必要監視,就算兀罕不對聖女出手,也難保不會在魯迪因德亂來。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「城主派出衛士護送其實是為了另一件事,就是襲擊聖女的灰衣精靈。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「欲言又止,可能吧!慢著——我都做到這個分上,而且還有百名衛士護送。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修,我們好像第一次一起離開魯迪因德。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是啊!就當作去修特羅里旅行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們正坐在馬車裡頭,艾莉絲閉眼依偎在我肩上,我撫理著紅髮,梅琳則躺在她懷裡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一切如她預料,一早我就被阿德列斯召入官邸,又是命令又是拜託,而且還囑咐務必在阿坎拉王都完成兩國和平條約的簽訂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我以不諳簽約細節意欲推辭,結果就是霍爾茲以特使身分跟隨出行,錯了,應該反過來說,是我跟隨霍爾茲出使修特羅里王國。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯最後出了一招,「回來後放一個月假,你們想去哪就去哪玩。」,結果一口搶著答應的是艾莉絲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲一旁笑瞇瞇,我知道她喜歡旅行,我私下問她這樣好嗎?她回答說會和蕾菲亞娜輪流監視我。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">拉回到現實,我正在馬車內尷尬著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊:「咳……雖然早知道公主與閣下很恩愛,但是請考慮一下我的心情。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女笑著:「妾身無所謂,這樣瞧著也挺有趣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾還是小精靈,所以很喜歡撒嬌。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女明明就有自己的禮車,卻窩在我的馬車裡,她與雛菊坐一邊,我們坐另一邊,還說我們按平時互動不必在意,艾莉絲也毫不客氣黏了上來,我心裡明白又是在故意宣示主權,一般羈絆者在公開場合也不會如此親密,但艾莉絲是小精靈,有孩子任性的權利。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">出發前我與野津張開地圖討論路線,從阿坎拉王都到里德修拉有兩條路線。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一條是行經阿爾姆村,原本會經過安達魯,但是安達魯已成廢墟,能入住之處只有阿爾姆村,否則就只能野營,這條路線的好處是路程較短又平坦,也是聖女車隊原來的預定往返路線。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">另一條則是經過修特羅里的西都山城,這條路線傍山而行,路程稍長又稍有坡度變化,優點是住宿品質良好。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不管哪條路線都要花上兩天,我建議野津改變原計畫,選擇途經西都山城,理由是灰衣精靈可能熟知聖女車隊的規劃,改變路線能讓對方措手不及,另一個理由是西都山城有修特羅里的衛士營,如有必要可以調派衛士護送,野津非常贊同,得到聖女的同意後,改由西城門離開里德修拉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我打算速戰速決,聖女卻說可以停留西都山玩上一天,看到艾莉絲的興奮表情,我不由得就答應了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我是第一次走南行路線,兩國使節團浩浩蕩蕩,地圖上兩條路線看似差不多遠,實際行走才發現,往西都山城的丘陵地形使得大道蜿蜒曲折,路程更加遙遠。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">偶而我會與蕾菲亞娜交換駕車,但是她經常藉故留下陪我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女怎麼一直留在我們車內呀?」邊問還邊塞餅乾過來。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「因為我們馬車舒服啊!」我加裝了避震器,人類這個發明實在太棒了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這樣小艾就沒辦法到前頭來了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唔……也對,總不能讓聖女獨自留在車裡……我想喝水。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜拿她自己的水壺給我,那個不鏽鋼保溫水壺是我送她的,也是人間帶過來的,上面有開小孔,原本是方便開車使用的,如今駕駛馬車也一樣好用。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">透過蕾菲亞娜我才知道,大街小巷已經傳出流言蜚語,兩造官方又沒有主動澄清,我私下再怎麼極力撇清都沒用。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">知道內情的野津和安潔兒,因為很體諒聖女立場不會主動闢謠,從離開里德修拉開始,聖女又一直待在我們的馬車內,就算闢謠也沒精靈肯相信。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我所知道會培養這類戰士的例子,就只有衛士營而已,但是咒劍兼學的精靈通常不太受重視,因為博學等於難以精通,但灰衣精靈似乎咒劍雙方面都有很不錯的程度。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">平安來到西都山城,由於早已派遣快馬通知,城主亞歷山大與修道院長兼靈術士的皮耶爾兩位親自到城門迎接,夾道都是歡呼的精靈百姓,畢竟聖女是等同國王的存在,而且『聖女』的稱號更為親民。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">西都山比里德修大上半倍,也更加熱鬧,艾莉絲已經躍躍欲試想去逛街。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女、野津、安潔兒、艾莉絲與我都住在城主官邸,安全暫時無虞,侍衛隊與霍爾茲使節團都住在旅館。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">盛大的迎接,聖女說有點累先去休息,雛菊也前去伺候,我們則留在大廳裡,霍爾茲也留下參與晚宴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霍爾茲善於交際,特使等同暫代城主之職,很快便與亞歷山大打成一片,野津、安潔兒也忙著檢查安全措拖,雖然野營比較自在,但是能待在城裡最安全。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">晚宴時,聖女再次出現,除了亞歷山大城主與皮耶爾院長,還多了一位靈劍士哥培修,他被特別召入城主官邸強化保安。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修閣下~附近有夜街,西都山的服飾非常有名,不妨為小艾公主添些新衣物。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女如此建議著,艾莉絲一臉雀躍:「務必要去!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我也想帶她出去走走,「恭敬不如從命,今晚小修就告假了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別擔心,官邸防衛做得很好,我讓熟路的安潔兒閣下陪同帶路。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「非常感謝!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為艾莉絲有公主身分,亞歷山大城主欲派護衛隨行,我婉轉回絕,打算便裝上街購物,至於聖女則是留在官邸休息,如果她不出門,應該不需要我的護衛,野津也很可靠。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">晚宴過後,我帶著艾莉絲、蕾菲亞娜,由安潔兒帶路,因為都換上便裝,走在街上就如同普通百姓一般。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女好像怪怪的。」艾莉絲說道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「或許是因為回到了故鄉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「故鄉?」聖女沒和我們提過這件事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「聖女大人原本就是在西都山長大,後來被修道院長推舉參加聖女遴選。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「皮耶爾院長?感覺他與聖女關係沒有很熟啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「不,是曉安娜前任院長,已經四百多歲了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女不會想見見舊識嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「聖女的身分沒辦法四處亂跑,她一出門至少要帶上廿名侍衛,給對方的壓力也會不小,更不用說能夠好好敍舊。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「小艾也不想當公主,吵著說當個閣下夫人就好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「我能體會聖女的處境,衛士隨行煩死了,幸好我有小修可以推辭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「不過,聖女大人以自己的身分為榮,她告訴在下,希望能以聖女之名,幫助更多的修特羅里百姓,即使一生孑然也無所謂。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當初利德納陛下想把繼承權還給艾莉絲,她明明就是狠著拒絕。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲的威脅,蕾菲亞娜居然信以為真望著我,唉~明明就是玩笑話,她一旦碰上這種話題就變笨了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈世界與人類世界相同之處,就是女孩子的服飾花樣多,連安潔兒也忍不住,一同下場挑選,我乖乖地走在後頭,忠實扮演護花使者與拎衣苦力的角色。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">提著大包小包,我們迅速趕回官邸,野津在大廳等候,亞歷山大神情凝重不掩焦急,慌亂地指揮巡守隊,靈劍士哥培修面有愧色,這也難怪,是他負責官邸的安保工作。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒劈頭就問:「歹匪知道了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津搖搖頭:「還不能確定有歹匪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼回事?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「侍僕想通知聖女可以入浴,一直敲門卻未回應,才趕來通知在下硬闖寢房,整個官邸都搜遍,雛菊也不見蹤影。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有索敵衛士吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「當然,完全沒有入侵或打鬥跡象,彷彿憑空消失,最後目擊地點是西側茗香庭園,女僕說似乎一轉眼就沒再見到過聖女和雛菊,喝一半的茶也還留著。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「沒有入侵?有從官邸出去的報告嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「公主認為是被帶出去的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「也不能否定。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哥培修:「衛士們大都專注在入侵反應,對於離開官邸的,如果不是動作異常,通常不去理會,因為這裡大都是男性護衛,也不會太過靠近聖女,以免不敬,而且再次點名之後,確定所有護衛、侍從都沒離開過。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「我去房間看看,說不定會有線索。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津又是搖頭:「聖女大人有換下衣物,其餘物品都很整齊,聖杖也留了下來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我看著大廳牆上:「哥培修閣下,請問這地圖是……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哥培修:「是西都山城詳圖。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「小修,我們也去找找吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖然不知道是誰幹的,也不知道方向……我有辦法!野津閣下,拜託把聖杖帶來這裡——小蕾,叫梅琳進來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津往樓上衝去,小蕾也跑出大門,梅琳不喜歡接觸陌生精靈,在馬車頂休息。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【小修真有辦法嗎?】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【我想試試聖杖和搜尋術,總比在外頭瞎找好,希望有用。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲牽著我的手用心語術交談,說來丟臉,家眷裡只有我一個不會心語術,真遜!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">其實我不太有把握,在里德修拉試過聖杖與索敵術,範圍能概括整個城,但當我試了狂暴,卻沒增幅多少,當時我並未嚐試搜尋術。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津跑得奇快,取來了聖杖,沒一會,梅琳也到了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我接過聖杖放在梅琳前面說:「麻煩妳記下聖女的味道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳楞頭楞腦一副懷疑的眼神,我用另一隻手摸她的頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她發動心語術:【我早記住了,但是太多精靈味道混在一起沒辦法找啊!】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【不,假裝聞就好,我現在要用聖杖配合搜尋術,妳幫忙掩飾,直到我叫停為止。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【原來如此。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">索敵咒術把整個西都山的精靈都呈現出來,外形也很清楚,但是無法確認聖女,接著發動搜尋術,搜尋區域變大了卻仍然很有限,幸好,搜尋小區域可以在索敵大範圍內變動,我試著不斷更換區域搜尋。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳假裝東聞西聞,我為了專心而閉上眼,聖女和雛菊一起,所以要找兩位少女的反應,西都山城裡有兩、三萬名精靈,得花上一段時間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">半炷時間過去,也就是十五分鐘左右。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「這個……會不會有點久?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">裝作專心聞著味道的梅琳也很尷尬,但是要花這麼久時間似乎讓她自尊心受到打擊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲圓場說:「要給一點時間啦!只要分析完畢,就知道聖女在哪裡了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「修閣下也怪怪的,一動也不動,還一直摸著靈狐的頭?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「嗯!他在配合靈狐,他們倆是合作在找,很厲害的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我無心理會周遭,一個接著一個區域輪流找,終於在西北一角找到聖女與雛菊的反應,周圍的索敵反應是……小精靈嗎?似乎還有幼精靈的反應。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我張開眼站了起來,比對牆上地圖尋找那個位置,原來如此啊!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修閣下……」野津有些焦急。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「找到了,唔……我意思是梅琳找到了,我現在就過去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也一起。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「野津閣下留下吧!我的速度你們跟不上,請問可以帶走聖杖嗎?聖女可能會需要。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">其實是我打算帶著以備自己不時之需。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看到野津點頭同意,安潔兒說:「我找個布包起來,拿在手上太招搖。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「野津閣下~小修一旦狂奔,沒有精靈能跟得上,他和飛龍速度不相上下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「真是不得已!修閣下,萬事拜託。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我估計她現在沒危險,晚了就不知道,所以才要儘快趕去,而且,恐怕是聖女自個跑出去的,你們也在可能會讓她很難為情,我保証會帶她回來,請放心等候。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我把安潔兒遞來包好的聖杖綁在身上,並取出風行聖劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「梅琳跟我來,要跟上哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">靈狐一聲嗥嘯,我們奔出官邸朝著西北方前進。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒多久抵達目的地,我早應該猜到的,聖女原本不就是孤兒嗎?在孤兒院長大是理所當然,思念家人的心情我也能夠理解。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真愛亂跑,官邸一團亂。」梅琳抱怨著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們躲在屋頂上等候,這段相處時間對聖女很珍貴,稍做等候也無所謂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不偷跑恐怕不容易見到想見的朋友,那也曾經是她的家眷。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「其實講一聲,我們也會陪她來吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那不一樣,如果陪她來,就變成是我們的錯,聖女偷跑就只是自己的錯,她不想傷害其他精靈。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「跟小修一樣,都很善良。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「善良?那是梅琳沒看到我耍壞,兀罕嚇得只差沒有屁滾尿流。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!我大概了解,對方好,小修就好,對方是壞蛋,小修就變成壞蛋修理對方。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如果我有那麼好事,早就努力在家族裡圖謀某個地位,而不是每天打混過日子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「啊哈——聖女要出來了,下去吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們在街角一旁等著,以免妨礙聖女和孤兒院朋友道別。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">過了一會,聖女帶著雛菊轉身離開,靈狐顯眼,聖女也看見了梅琳,朝著我們走過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊有點驚訝,聖女卻很淡定。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊叫著:「閣下是故意等我們嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~早就有種感覺,修閣下絕對會是第一個找到妾身。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這種說法……真容易讓人誤解!我先找到是因為只有我辦得到,可不是因為我最心急。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這個……就是索敵和搜尋找到的,總之,現在能回家了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「非常抱歉,妾身還有個地方必須去,只需要短短一炷時間,拜託了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是……大家都在等著,也擔心聖女安危。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這樣吧——雛菊先回去報平安,妳知道我要去哪裡,讓修閣下陪著就行。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊:「誒!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「說一炷時間後就回去,請大家別擔心,那地方荒涼,有修閣下保護正好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊有點不願意但也不能違抗:「我知道了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「梅琳~妳先保護雛菊回去。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊對我行鞠躬禮:「拜託修閣下,務必把聖女平安帶回官邸。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯~交給我吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看著梅琳和雛菊走遠,聖女回過頭催促著我上路。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我解下聖杖,她卻搖著頭自顧走著不肯接過去,我只好繼續揹著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「去哪啊?」我快步跟上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「城外。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不行吧?現在城門都已關上,用聖女命令開門嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女神秘兮兮笑著:「不需要,這裡是我長大的地方喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為地位不同,我本來跟在後方一步,但聖女故意拖慢一會,成了並肩行進,我想了想,現在表現主從似乎容易被起疑,也就不抗拒了,但還是刻意保持一個人的間距。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我似乎太好說話,應該直接綁妳回去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「綁架聖女是死罪,除非是我的伴侶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呼~幸好沒帶繩子,我可不想死。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也不會讓你死的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來到城牆邊,有條小河穿牆而過,聖女帶著我走入漆黑的地下河道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女等等,這一不小心會掉進河裡吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她回過頭看著我,似乎有點生氣:「回去之前,就當作一般朋友交談,可以嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這意思是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女和御龍劍士在漆黑的河道裡偷偷摸摸的,像話嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——是妳拖著我來的吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以,回去之前請叫我桃花,相對的,我也會叫你小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……也有道理,萬一被聽見名號也不太好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們現在就像是私奔出城,你一直叫我聖女,就好像在揶揄我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當我交還聖杖時,她卻執意不接過去,或許就是想暫時抛開聖女的身分。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女笑了笑,催動照明火焰卻不甚亮:「小修也點個火或用鷹眼夜視。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「偏偏這兩個咒術我都不太行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真意外,我以為小修什麼都會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,桃花可以點亮一點嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,太亮會被發現。」,聖女突然牽住我的手,「我帶著你走吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們不是在舞會上牽過手嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是那……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「擔心會對大姐姐動心?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「才不會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那好,少廢話跟我走,再囉嗦就表示故意拖延,想藉機一直牽手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女一臉淡然,反而顯得我很小氣,莫非她和人類的我一樣,對這種禮貌程度的肌膚碰觸不太介意?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我其實不在意這種事,如果桃花也不在意就好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們沿著河道慢慢前進,聖女比害羞的我更自然,看起來只是必要措施,沒別的意思。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~彷彿又回到以前的時光,我心裡有點開心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女是個感性的精靈,回到故鄉,見以前的朋友,做以前做過的事,或許她小時候就常常牽著同伴穿越這裡,現在只不過是拿我替代。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來到地下河道中央處,果然有木柵擋住,里德修拉也有相同的設計,避免被偷偷潛入,這下沒轍,也該死心打道回府。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女卻開心地說:「幸好還在。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我越過她的身軀往前面看,原來木柵下方一角有破損。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女突然回頭,差點撞上我的臉,幸好我及時退後,否則後果就不是牽手那樣而已。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呼~還以為小修想偷襲我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「完全沒有這樣想過。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女放開手從木柵破損處爬過去,我硬著頭皮跟上,才通過站起,又被牽住了手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後來到了城外,大約城牆五十公尺外的一棵大樹下,有塊石碑。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女走到石碑前跪坐,合手閉眼,我側目看到石碑上寫著:『曉安娜,長眠於此』。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我大概明白是怎麼一回事,退到一旁靜靜等候。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">約莫三分鐘,聖女站起身拭去眼淚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「還以為掉下眼淚,小修就會過來安慰我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這個嘛……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別在意,開玩笑的而已,還有點時間,陪我坐一下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女走到旁邊一塊大石坐下,但她只坐一半,露出請求的眼神。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">剛剛才哭過,我怎麼拒絕啊?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只好坐下,儘量留著空隙,聖女卻移了位置靠在我身上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂……」我動搖著卻被她抱住手臂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修別誤會,我只是想對著石頭說說心底話。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我是石頭?這個樣子被不知情的精靈看見,再怎麼解釋也枉然。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「心底話找雛菊比較好哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,雛菊只會陪我悲傷,小修很可靠,是可以傾訴的對象。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「傾訴?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">可不要是感情告白啊!今晚和聖女做了太多接觸,直覺不太妙,不得不防。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請當作是我的導師——曉安娜院長,讓我依靠一下,拜託了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此,可以喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">似乎怕我逃走,她一直沒鬆手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只要靜靜聽我說話就好,小修可以忘記,就算記得也請別說出去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!我答應妳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這樣我能接受,聖女只是將我當作曉安娜傾訴心聲——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「十年前,看著好多精靈受苦,那時就想著,怎麼樣才能讓大家過得好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「院長告訴桃花,選上聖女就能夠拯救更多的精靈,還說桃花很有機會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「桃花滿心歡欣,努力學習咒術,期盼著成為聖女。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「參加遴選之前,院長說成為聖女必須承受孤獨,要桃花再考慮。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我知道的,不過就是沒有羈絆者而已,可是我還有院長與好友能相伴左右。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「院長搖著頭,不只是這樣,因為沒有東西能夠接近太陽。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當時年紀小不懂,只想著貢獻自己,讓每個精靈都擁有幸福。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「從小父母就死於戰亂,所以我討厭戰爭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不希望有小精靈像我一樣失去父母。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大臣卻告訴我,因為戰爭,修特羅里才能活下去,我不管,肯定有方法不要戰爭。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「後來,朋友們一個個都好遙遠,好想去看看他們,大臣們卻說聖女不能這樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我好懷念,對不起,如果不偷跑,我根本見不著他們……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說到最後,聖女靠在我胸前泣不成聲,我只能輕撫她的頭安慰著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">比起說是給曉安娜聽的,反倒更像說給我聽的吧?有點傷腦筋,這該怎麼對艾莉絲解釋呢?不,當成秘密帶進墳墓裡吧!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">又過了幾分鐘,聖女終於抬起頭,拭去眼淚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,桃花又做了任性的事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「能幫到聖女——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「又是『聖女』?不然叫我大姐姐也行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呃……大姐姐就算了,能幫到桃花我也很高興,好一些了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女故意作狀微笑:「好多了,心裡舒服又有幹勁。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「掉著眼淚苦笑真是矛盾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女起身說:「回去吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我鬆了口氣,總算她肯回家,雖然想為她擦眼淚,但我有自覺,太超過會出事的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女卻突然回頭一把抱個滿懷,這又嚇了我一大跳,十幾秒後她才放開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖……桃花別折騰我啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她露出調皮的吐舌笑容:「原來抱住男孩子是這樣的感覺,多謝了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不會吧?拿我試刀體驗?又多了一個秘密必須帶進墳墓!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們原路從地下河道回到城內。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">河道底很髒,出了河道才發現,聖女和我的衣服都沾上不少污泥,忍不住相視而笑。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然已經花掉不少時間,但我可不打算抱著聖女在屋頂上跑,寧可慢慢走回官邸。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她穿的是連帽斗篷,蓋上帽子就不怕被認出來,我們算是一路逛街回去,我注意到她在享受,東張西望,看來很久不曾這樣做。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女甚至開始為我介紹這個說明那個,路上,還買了一張烤餅撕半一起享用,沒辦法,我身上沒帶錢,她也只有幾個銅板而已。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她說了些從前的事我才明白,曉安娜女士火化後的骨灰,未如一般埋於精靈樹下,而是葬於生前最愛,能夠一邊欣賞落日一邊沈思的大樹底下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">漸漸地,她似乎開心起來,回復成平日聖女模樣,但還是不讓我叫她聖女,直至回到官邸之前。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">燦爛的笑容背後,隱藏著許多少女的悲傷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我也有自己的煩惱,明明說過只要一炷時間,實際上卻過去快兩炷時間,晚點,恐怕又得面臨公主和龍女的逼供。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅竹郡府率先開放,城主阿德列斯親自主持啟用典禮,兩位公主加上絕美聖女的加持,百姓一傳十,十傳百,還未開始便擠得水洩不通,幸好早有預料,調遣了百名衛士協助內外疏導,尚稱順利。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我以人間的兒童樂園做為參考,設置動線、休息區與臨時服務處,兒童遊樂設施果然大受好評,小精靈們排著長龍輪流玩耍,阿德列斯還仔細端詳許久,我明白他的心意,已經在為未出世的孩子作打算。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈!請務必把圖交出來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女也很驚訝,雖然這幾天在郡府內看過溜滑梯,卻沒想過可以這樣玩。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「之前沒仔細看,現在才發覺好有趣,那個在天空飄的是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那個叫風箏,是我故鄉小朋友玩的,稍為起風才飛得高。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">郡府免費提供一百個風箏,伯納登在草坪上教導小精靈如何放風箏,在我的指導下,他的操作已經非常熟練。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲注意到莎娜伊美小公主盯著盪鞦韆,一副羨慕的眼神,若非公主身分早就衝過去排隊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「明天早點起床,我們趁大門打開之前先來玩個夠。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「拜託,小艾姐姐務必早點叫我起床。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們無法留下與百姓同樂,稍為逗留後,就出發參與平安祭活動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">熟悉的艾莉絲對我解說各項活動的意義,最有趣的是——許多門前擺著小攤,各種新舊家俱用品,有些是免費的,有些是販賣的,也有可以交換的,小精靈也會拿出玩具當商品,整個城市都是跳蚤市場,活像個大觀園。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女放棄乘車步行逛街,艾莉絲和莎娜伊美也樂在其中,辛苦的就是我和野津的侍衛隊,尤其是聖女的愛慕者,既不能不管,又不能過分武力驅離。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">索敵雖然好用,但是突然爆發的惡意無法及時應對,仍然需要眼觀八方來防患未然。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津是個認真的侍衛長:「修閣下,這幾天有勞費心,在下真心感激。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「分內之事,不足掛齒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">今天我和聖女交談不會超過十句,絕大部分還是打招呼,要說談得來這一點我有異議,但是……交談確實很隨意又自然,應該說我這個人類沒什麼上下階級意識才對。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為美貌與地位引來諸多惡意,高處不勝寒,聖女的辛苦我大致能明白,但沒必要犧牲自己的幸福去成全她,更何況我只是『小精靈』,也不太可能被聖女當作異性伴侶。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我稍為放鬆『戒心』,無論怎麼看,聖女都是與艾莉絲、蕾菲亞娜熟絡,對我則是淡然應對,偶而兩句禮貌往來,果然是當初忌諱太多,再說,聖女明擺說過不想要有伴侶,當個好朋友應該就是極限。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒是忠心的副侍僕長,突然間她回頭對我和野津私下小聲說:「是卡邦爾多。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我循著她和野津的視線望去,是一名金髮華服精靈帶著兩名隨從,野津向我點頭,示意他就是黑名單第一名——卡邦爾多,我們立刻靠近聖女,她正蹲下與孩子們親切談話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">感覺上長相挺帥的,但是瘦小體型很明顯與高䠷聖女不太搭稱,最重要的,微微的小肚透露出大叔的身分,年齡上更是大不相配。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">卡邦爾多擠過圍觀精靈意欲接近聖女,當距離大約五步左右,野津想拔出短劍阻嚇,我立刻抓住他的劍柄搖搖頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我身高僅一百七十公分出頭,但是對精靈而言卻很高大,我以壯碩身體阻擋,始終卡在卡邦爾多之前,聖女似乎發現了他,有點吃驚隨即站起,平常大方的她把半個身子隱藏在我背後,顯然有些戒心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">確實是個無賴,大老遠追著來,居然還說巧合。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女大方回應還點頭致意,我嘆了口氣,就是這種溫柔態度,對方才會糾纏不休。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">卡邦爾多為了擠到最前頭,居然推擠小精靈,精靈不喜肌膚碰觸,他這一出手,許多小精靈都在惶恐,野津忍無可忍又想拔劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這樣可不行,我得先動手,發動狂暴,伸手就抓住卡邦爾多,他一時動彈不得,硬是停在原地,吃驚地看著我,精靈不喜肌膚碰觸,但是人類的我才不吃這一套!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女被小精靈前擁後簇,一起去看風車,我示意艾莉絲帶著莎娜伊美跟上,只有蕾菲亞娜與安潔兒留下。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見聖女離開,安潔兒拔出短劍,「平安祭期間,我不希望以劍相向。」,她這才不情願地把劍收起來。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「少得寸進尺,聖女只是不想與你一般見識。」安潔兒雖是女流,脾氣也很兇。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">卡邦爾多撫著被抓紅的手臂:「你這小子什麼怪力?憑什麼和聖女有說有笑的?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我當然不會讓路,「壞了你的好事非常抱歉,想和聖女談話還請擇時安排,只要聖女同意,在下絕不阻撓。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">卡邦爾多示意兩個隨從上前,他們似乎懾於安潔兒之威而不敢靠近。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜又想替我出頭,但身著禮服不適宜動手。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">卡邦爾多反被我的警告激怒,拔出短劍就刺過來,事出突然,圍觀精靈們驚呼喊叫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">居然敢襲擊靈劍士?偷藏佩劍還公然拔劍攻擊,在里德修拉是不被允許的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我並未取劍,而是空手上前迎擊,這下子連安潔兒都叫了出來,卡邦爾多似乎會狂暴術,劍術卻只是一般般,我用左前臂格檔他的短劍,蹲身用右前臂砍進他的腹部。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">受我一擊,卡邦爾多身子倒飛十公尺之遠,掉落在圍觀群眾之中。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">真糟,第一次用金屬護套擊飛對手,力道有點過頭,不對,根本是太過頭,但我不擔心,大不了就是昏過去,應該是死不了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">突然間,卡邦爾多飛落之處,一名男性精靈大呼:「啊~~他死了!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">事實似乎與我想像的大不相同。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒和蕾菲亞娜也覺得不妙,趕緊趨前查看,精靈們自動讓開一條路,卡邦爾多躺在血泊之中奄奄一息,索敵反應微弱,雖然未死也不遠矣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我隱約聽到周圍有精靈在說,御龍劍士打死精靈之類的話語,我有點慌張,都已經儘量控制力道,怎麼還會這樣?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜與安潔兒檢查得很仔細。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">騷動也引起聖女和艾莉絲的注意,一起來到我身邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「好重的傷,流血過多。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「先讓我救他吧!其他事慢慢再說。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這廢渣死了活該,真不想聖女救他。」野津走近卡邦爾多,將他拉到一旁解開衣服。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女蹲下來引動靈線,以聖杖強化的療癒術進行治療。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修~你這次做過火了。」艾莉絲小聲說著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好像吧!我沒想到用護套也能把他打成重傷。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「護套?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也不懂啊!」心情有點鬱悶,這個結果太意外了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巡守隊員也趕到現場,許多精靈們在一旁指指點點,言語似乎對我頗為不利,畢竟是我把卡邦爾多打飛的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小隊長走到我面前:「修閣下大人,抱歉,流血事件必須上呈,所以……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不需要忌諱,按事實做報告,該負責的我就會負責。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝謝閣下大人體諒,或許……可能要請閣下隨我走一趟。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我明白的,不會讓你們為難,不過,先等事情告一段落。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">半炷時間左右,聖女總算起身,對我點點頭表示沒事了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津讓卡邦爾多的兩名隨從留下照顧,跟著聖女走過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「雖然傷很重,總算也沒事了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「修閣下這一劍刺得好深,直接貫穿腹部,幸好救治得快。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「野津閣下說笑了,主人並未出劍,何來貫穿?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒也說:「在下親眼所見,修閣下是以手臂擊飛卡邦爾多,不可能有劍傷。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「絕無看錯,確有劍傷。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「妾身治療時看到的也是前後貫穿傷口,野津並未說錯。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和野津對視,直覺大有文章,我拔出兩把劍,野津上前檢視,完全沒有血漬。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津立刻把巡守隊員叫來,要求檢視卡邦爾多的短劍,同樣乾乾淨淨,「太奇怪了,究竟是哪一把劍剌傷他的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小隊長一直在旁邊聽我們說話,知道事有蹊蹺,立刻吩咐隊員在附近搜索染血兇劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津對著圍觀精靈們大聲叫道:「請問有誰看到這位傷者落地時的情形?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">圍觀精靈群眾都搖著頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒也大聲說:「另有兇手殺害這位先生,想嫁禍給修閣下,請問有誰看到的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈們又是搖著頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聰明的蕾菲亞娜在我耳邊說了幾句,我站到前方說:「小修請教各位,當時有位精靈大叫『他死了』,請問是哪一位說的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">有一位婦女站出來,指向街尾說:「修閣下,大聲喊叫的那個精靈,看到你們走過來,就往那條街走掉了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝謝!請問他的長相如何?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「和修閣下差不多高大,手臂更粗,褐髮方臉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我望向巡守小隊長,他點頭說:「在下明白,馬上派員搜查。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津對著圍觀群眾發話:「修閣下阻止這位先生搔擾聖女,但是閣下大人仁心宅厚,並未用劍傷他,只是空手擊退,殺害他的另有精靈,企圖栽贜嫁禍給修閣下大人,故意抺黑陷害御龍劍士,請各位不要中計。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瞬間,精靈們又開始互相耳語,內容似乎對我轉為有利,我這才鬆了口氣,野津經驗豐富,順手就讓群眾印象改觀。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「好險,小修差點變成大壞蛋。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「真要不行,就說是我剌的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾說什麼傻話,我也不准妳這麼做。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「修閣下抱歉,因為妾身緣故惹上無妄之災。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,是我該做的——野津閣下,非常感謝解危,否則小修在城裡真不好待了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">把後事交給巡守隊處理,卡邦爾多也讓他們處理,但是交待沒收武器就好,我不希望平安祭期間有什麼大麻煩,況且卡邦爾多並非真的壞蛋,或者該說他也是受害者。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜上前為我整理衣領衣角,她總是呵護備至,遲早我會被寵到不能沒有她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾不問我有沒受傷嗎?」我笑著問她。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「要是主人受傷,小蕾沒可能不知道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「修閣下……刀劍不入嗎?剛才是用手臂去擋劍,我沒看錯吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我稍為捲起一點袖口,露出金屬護套,聖女和野津也湊過來看。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「要保護聖女又要保護公主,有時就得面對這些無理的狂熱分子,用劍誤傷也不好。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夜祭在日落前一炷時間舉行,由克羅夫曼王子代替利德納,與阿德列斯城主一同主持,場地在城務廳前廣場,聖女地位相當於國王,也受邀致辭祈福,每位精靈都帶著一個夜光石晶,在克羅夫曼的帶領默禱後,萬燈齊亮,剎那間莊嚴靜肅,許多精靈都感動得落淚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">祈福儀式進行約兩炷時間,街燈才重新點亮,百姓可以自由待在廣場,彼此找尋熟識交談今年的新計畫,受邀貴賓們則進入城務廳的禮堂,十足標準的精靈交際場合,我也有參加過幾次,不過,里德修拉真的是小城,這次貴賓又多,禮堂稍嫌擁擠。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我對艾莉絲感到愧疚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,因為任務,沒辦法帶妳自由活動。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒關係,聖女也很重要,我支持你的。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜幫我們帶些吃喝過來,相較之下聖女就辛苦了,我現在才明白她為什麼在馬車上會先吃點東西,因為她根本沒法休息飲食,不斷而來的問候總是親切回應。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">圍繞的『蒼蠅』不少,聖女也很為難,但是換個視角,我大概會被認為是特大號蒼蠅,因為聖女一有空檔,就來找我聊天,也不能算聊天,因為幾乎只有她在說話,說著王城的事,說完又說王都的事,說完又換成孤兒院的往事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">昨天我只是站在聖女身邊的石頭,今天卻像是霸佔聖女旁邊的重要位置。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲趁著空檔小聲偷偷告訴我:「聖女拿小修做擋箭牌。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這些我都知道,所以才會自暴自棄地配合,此時有位熟識老者向我接近。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年近四百歲,是派駐新安達魯的駐使,我們在王都時受到他的大力支援,艾莉絲也笑瞇瞇點頭致意,他初見面就對艾莉絲禮貌有加,彷彿知道隱藏的王室公主身分。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德也過來向聖女招呼,卡多尼梅陪伴在旁,華服加身頗為驚豔,成為羈絆者後,他們一起出席重要場合毫無違和。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">抓個空檔查理德悄悄移動到我身邊,小聲說道:「下午的事我已經知道,小心點,有個傢伙想陷害你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝謝叔叔關心,小修大概猜得到,只是不知得罪過誰,基本上,這些達官政要小修幾乎都不認識。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,他正在與加雷殿下聊天,看到沒有?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">順著查理德示意的方向看去,我點點頭表示有看到。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我要你看的是他後面那個。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我大吃一驚站了起來,我認識那傢伙,雖然服裝不同,體型相貌我是印象深刻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">動作太大,驚動身邊的少女們。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼了?」艾莉絲問著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,我有點渴,想喝水。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我道聲謝,糊弄過去後再次坐下,查理德又小聲提點我先別慌張。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「瓦立培夫是罪犯,小修現在就可以拿下他。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「絕對不行!你不能動他,也不准動他,會變成外交上的大問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「為什麼?這可是涉罪叛亂啊!就算兀罕要包庇也不行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「包庇當然不行,問題是——他已入籍鐵拉布塔王國,仍舊位居靈劍士,還是王子護衛,現在襲擊他等於是襲擊兀罕殿下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「難道就這樣放過?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~與鐵拉布塔的和平條約是既往不咎,白紙黑字唯一的例外就只有龐加拉度。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「冷靜點,我就是擔心小修衝動才過來說清楚的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「明白,小修會忍耐的——下午陷害我的會是他嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">有位婦女指証有位高大臂粗褐髮方臉的男性精靈,在匆匆離開後就一直未被尋獲,特徵與瓦立培夫相去不遠。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「他嫌疑最大,可是沒有証據。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「巡守隊問過了,那傢伙說被你打飛時就已經昏迷,根本不知道後來的事。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來在我不知道的時候,叔叔已經做了這麼多事。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘆了口氣,「都是小修衝動誤事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「總之,暫且別給城主造成麻煩,從長計議——小艾,蕾菲亞娜也聽到了吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">少女們點點頭,瓦立培夫的出現,壞了我們的好心情。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">即使兀罕走來問候聖女,瓦立培夫也未跟隨,估計是避免與我正面接觸,這樣也好,我也不想讓他接近,畢竟他主子對聖女虎視眈眈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最歡樂的時光終於到來——舞會,由克羅夫曼王子與莎娜伊美小公主開場,兄妹檔默契十足,舞姿熟練曼妙。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大部分的精靈交際舞都不會有肢體碰觸,只有小部分為羈絆者設計的慢舞,則會加入牽手的動作,比起人類,真的非常保守。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">環境所迫我學過國際標準交際舞步,對於精靈舞卻是非常不擅長,所幸男方的舞步較簡單,複雜變化多在女方,艾莉絲對這一點頗有怨言。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">王子與公主的共舞尚未結束,我就知道大事不妙,聖女也是忐忑不安,因為蒼蠅們蠢蠢欲動,就快變成了虎頭蜂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一般來說,正式共舞邀請,艾莉絲可以用羈絆者理由大方拒絕,但是單身聖女不予回應有失禮節,順帶一說,我倒是很自在,除非女方無償倒貼,否則不可能邀請有羈絆者的男性。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果不其然,聖女變成了超甜蜂蜜,各王國的公子哥兒一擁而上——也沒那麼誇張,他們依循禮節禮貌邀請,雛菊臉色難看也幫不了忙。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只要別出現卡邦爾多那樣的狂熱追求者,就不需要制止,相反的,這是聖女尋找伴侶的機會,上前制止才是不對,雖然我不認為有誰配得上高貴的聖女,光是她的身『高』,一大半的公子哥兒就沒了希望。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">既然聖女出陣,我就不必留在原地,起身邀請艾莉絲一同步入舞池,盡量與聖女保持一定的距離以防萬一。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修~可以跳你教的舞步嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「還記得步法嗎?那時妳跳得可害羞了,手還一直抖。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那時沒締結靈線就牽手,我當然很害羞呀!不過你教的舞步我都還記得。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在人間時,艾莉絲看到電視上的標準舞節目,一時起了興趣要求萍姐教她,萍姐把我叫下樓,還說男女舞步不同,由我來教比較合適,現在回想萍姐絕對是故意的,因為南宮家姑且算是名流,不但從小學習交際舞,而且男女舞步都學,以備不時之需。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">然而當時我和艾莉絲並未交往,我僅視作正常互動,艾莉絲卻非常害羞,當時就猜她是忌諱男女授受不親,想把爛攤子推回給萍姐,艾莉絲卻又不肯,堅持要學習下去,最後我教了較為簡單的布魯斯(Blues)與華爾茲(Waltz)。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……現在的曲子是四拍稍慢,我們就跳布魯斯吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好,小修要帶我喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放心,交給我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我牽起艾莉絲的小手轉變舞步,舞會上只要音樂合拍,舞步可以自由選擇,並非布魯斯亮眼奪目,而是因為與精靈舞步大不相同,我們很快就成了焦點。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一首曲子之後,帶著艾莉絲下場休息,可憐的聖女再次受邀,雖然投來求援的眼神,但是愛莫能助,我完全幫不上忙。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾還是老樣子,會害羞吶!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是因為大家都在看,實在很不好意思。」艾莉絲臉還是紅通通的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「沒想到小修和小艾會跳這樣的舞步,感覺好美好順暢,還充滿著愛意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這是我們人類初學者的舞步,也很適合情侶隨意起舞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「看起來小蕾很有興趣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「因為很有趣嘛,只是……不太方便。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我明白地點點頭,小聲說道:「回去後,有機會就教妳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">忸怩的蕾菲亞娜紅著臉用力點點頭,惹得艾莉絲笑個不停。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">舞會已過泰半,再撐過一炷時間就結束了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女似乎狀況不太好,總是以眼神示意,我當然明白那個辛苦,但也不能貿然帶她離開,更何況並沒有誰有過分行為,公子哥兒也有自覺,只要保持禮儀就不會被聖女拒絕。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我注意到聖女也會耍小聰明,半支舞就退場,再換上另一位舞伴,儀態禮貌卻不交談,讓對方自覺無趣知難而退。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是,麻煩事總會自找上門,好不容易她解決完所有邀約,正想鬆口氣時,鐵拉布塔二王子兀罕再度來到面前。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請容在下邀請聖女大人共舞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妾身已與兀罕殿下共舞過,請把機會讓給其他精靈。」聖女婉轉拒絕。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「若沒看錯,已無其他精靈排隊,否則在下絕不會無禮上前邀舞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他說的是實話,大部分公子哥兒都共舞過了,只是聖女不交談也不給好臉色,所以不敢上前二次邀舞,以免自討無趣,但是兀罕王子臉皮異常厚實。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">臉皮厚是一回事,但是兀罕並未失禮,聖女背後的雛菊、野津和安潔兒敢怒而不敢言,我也只能嘆息而已。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,殿下錯了!」,聖女起身走到我身邊,接著又說:「修閣下已邀請妾身共舞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——怎麼回事?啥時……?我記憶力很不錯,但是一點印象都沒有。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下未曾看過修閣下邀請。」兀罕抗議著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——居然說未曾看過,難不成他一直盯著聖女?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修閣下早有邀舞,只是禮讓在場諸位,還允許妾身先行休息一會,如此溫柔體貼的男士,才是妾身理想的伴……伴舞者。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不但是護衛,還身兼擋子彈的,不過,她說這種話我會倒楣的吧?我張大嘴看向艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜,她們投以同情眼神聊表安慰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕未被擊退,轉而詢問我:「修閣下,真有此事?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女大眼汪汪彷彿就要哭了,不僅如此,連雛菊、野津和安潔兒都露出祈求表情,他們一直都在聖女旁邊,肯定知道我並未邀請過。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【小修,幫她吧!不然很難收拾。】小艾偷偷用心語術對我說。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒辦法了,只好配合把戲演下去:「是的,在下確有邀約,兀罕殿下真的非常抱歉,當然,如果聖女大人不堅持,在下願意——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「非常堅持,修閣下善盡地主情誼,若是妾身失信失禮,未來難以面對精靈百姓。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">毫無猶豫還給戴個大頂高帽,這鍋我是揹定了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真沒辦法,只好等修閣下結束再來。」兀罕悻悻然離去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">樂師小憩後又準備再次演奏,聖女卻還站在我身邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「坐下休息吧!他暫時不會回來的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">就算被看出是演戲,兀罕也不能無禮強迫,至少短時間內不會,只是我認為她應該累了,比起勉強共舞不如抓緊時間喘口氣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修閣下不是邀請我共舞嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——有嗎?剛剛我是配合妳的吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「殿下還盯著這裡看,如果修閣下毀約,他肯定又會再過來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——假戲要真做嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見我猶豫,聖女走到艾莉絲面前:「真的非常抱歉,可否商借羈絆者共舞,否則妾身恐被豺狼貪欲吞沒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也不是不明白妳的處境,小修~你幫幫桃花好嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒辦法了,「聖女大人,請讓在下共舞一曲吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">算算還有最後兩支舞,我陪舞一曲,另一曲可就沒轍了,得由聖女自行搞定。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隨著舞曲開始我們踏入舞池,聖女一反常態,不但面露微笑,還與我邊跳舞邊交談。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修,非常感謝!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不客氣,能與聖女共舞也是在下榮幸。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「讓你困擾了,抱歉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女舞姿華麗賞心悅目,共舞確是舒心好事,舞會吵雜,她的聲音卻很清晰,似乎是某種咒術使然。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,幫得上忙我也很開心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「胡說,我明明使了好幾次眼色,小修完全不理我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——咦?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她口氣變了也不用禮語,私下還好,但這裡是公開場合,音量也不像悄悄話,大家都知道我少用禮語是外族異鄉客兼平民出身,聖女不用禮語就太不對勁啦!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「野津不也沒有救場?下一曲可以換他上陣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,雖然他是靈劍士,但是與屬下共舞不合禮法。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果不找野津,最後一支舞曲聖女有何打算?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我做不到聖女跳舞能像吃飯一樣輕鬆,邊跳邊說差點絆到自己,幸好反射神經不錯止住跌勢,場外有笑聲,還出現一些不滿的聲音,因為聖女出手扶了我一把。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不好意思,小修舞技不怎麼樣,讓聖女蒙羞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~這樣很好,你就隨意吧!就算真跌了一跤,我也會和你共舞到結束。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「感謝!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不過,我比較想跳你和小艾的舞步,你似乎對那種舞步非常熟悉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是故鄉的舞步,但那只適合與羈絆者共舞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「也是!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果沒辦法找野津,那聖女想和誰跳最後一曲,我來設法幫忙。」我提起剛剛沒有得到答案的問題。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真會幫我?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然,在下言而有信。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大不了就是克羅夫曼王子,要不就是阿德列斯城主,就算是查理德教主也沒問題,無論是哪一位重量級角色我都有自信請得動。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好,結束前移動到舞池正中央,我會自己邀請。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可以……為什麼要到正中央?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「秘密,幫忙照做就好,為了答謝,我要認真囉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女神秘兮兮地笑著,我當然不可能放肆追問,但是『認真』又是什麼意思?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈舞是女性表現最豐富的舞步,聖女的舞步早已技壓全場,但是她又突然再作改變,不斷在我身邊迴旋,就像美麗的妖精飛舞一樣,裙擺微揚,吸引了無數目光,我這才明白她說『認真』的意思。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只能說不愧是聖女,我只能全力配合,儘量別當絆腳石,甚至忘記移動到場中央,但是她沒忘記,最後一拍結束前,反而是我被她帶到了場中央。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她跳得實在太美,以至於周圍沒有舞者敢過於接近,當舞曲結束時,她向四周深深鞠躬,得到如雷的掌聲,連我也不禁為她喝采。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">司儀宣佈最後一支舞即將開始,前奏緩緩響起,新的舞伴準備進場,我對聖女深深一鞠躬,打算離開舞池——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哦!」「哇~」「這個是——」「聖女好大膽。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">四周響起各種驚訝的話語,因為,聖女竟然主動牽住我的手!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">並非一般正常牽住衣袖,是手心交握,而且是精靈忌諱的肌膚接觸,更何況對方還是尊貴的聖女,突兀舉止驚動八方,我自己也嚇一大跳,頓時呆若木雞。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修閣下~請容妾身邀請您共舞最後一曲。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女一手拉住我,一手扶裙微蹲,還深深低頭行禮。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後一個舞伴,莫非說的就是我?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">而且手中的觸感也不對勁!為了避免誤觸,聖女一直戴著白色長手套,我太過於警戒四周而沒注意到她何時脫下了手套。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不知所措,只有羈絆者才會肌膚接觸,這下誤會大了,我想抽手,卻被牢牢抓住。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">而且她還卑微地邀請我,這叫我如何拒絕?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我朝旁側看去,艾莉絲無奈地兩手一攤,蕾菲亞娜嘟嘴叉腰,我嚥了一口氣,又看向城主,他居然合掌作狀拜託,席禮亞還點頭含笑——妳是在看好戲吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見我沒反應,聖女用心語術傳達意念:【拜託了,雖然很抱歉,請當作是桃花一生唯一的請求,也為了感謝小修救命之恩。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她始終不肯放開微微顫抖的小手——是在害怕嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【好,我答應,妳先放鬆,好多精靈看著。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女總算鬆開了手,這動作也冷卻群眾的情緒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請聖女大人指教。」我低頭回禮,已經無暇顧全大局,只想趕快搞定最後一曲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">舞曲開始進行,似乎不願意浪費最後一曲,參與者眾,整個舞池熱鬧著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">與前一曲的激情不同,這次聖女配合我的速度翩翩起舞,我的妥協令她開心不已,微笑著在我身邊打轉,儘管只是共舞,卻有種求偶的錯覺,彷彿只要一伸出手,就會被聖女給抓走。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒空關切周圍反應,我戰戰競競與聖女跳完最後一曲,她伺機又是牽住我的手向四周輪番行禮,這一牽又是一堆驚嘆聲,但是卻搏了個滿堂采。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">回到座位後,除了聖女淘氣的微笑,周圍每個精靈都是複雜的表情,艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜很安靜,這反而令我很不安。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">舞會結束後,城主開始致辭,我完全沒心聽講,依稀有提到席禮亞懷孕的事,一陣道賀與歡呼,夜祭的氣氛達到最高潮,我的心情卻尷尬到極點。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">夜祭結束後,我們上了馬車,準備返回梅竹郡府。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">本來打算和野津一起跟在馬車後方,最後卻被艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜『挾持』上車,車上還有聖女桃花和侍僕雛菊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巧的是,克羅夫曼叫走莎娜伊美,說是與其他王國使者有話相商,晚點會派車送她返回郡府。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">少了莎娜伊美做為緩衝,形勢對我更加險惡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「最後兩曲聖女舞跳得好美啊!」艾莉絲的笑容僵硬,聖女回以微笑點頭感謝。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「主人真差勁,還差點跌倒。」蕾菲亞娜又回復面無表情,我惹到龍女不開心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我傻笑著不敢回話,艾莉絲牽著我的手,明目張膽的宣示主權。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊只是擔心看著,恐怕,她擔心的與我相同,就是聖女的心意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聰明的聖女看懂了氣氛,低頭鞠躬:「小艾公主、修閣下,妾身非常抱歉,情非得已利用了閣下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這句話讓大家都摸不著頭緒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請各位別誤會,有所企圖者甚多,而且又是糾纏不休,因此故意對修閣下做出失禮之舉,以絕非分之想。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是……聖女牽……牽修閣下的手?」雛菊不解問道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只要這樣做,那些無禮之徒就只能斷念。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女再次朝艾莉絲深深一鞠躬:「小艾,真的非常對不起,請原諒桃花的任性。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">都已如此低頭,善良的艾莉絲也沒法繼續賭氣:「可是聖女的名譽就……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妾身概括承受,也不會做任何陳述,原本就打算一生不找尋伴侶,若能被誤會心有所屬,妄想追求者自然會少上許多。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「可我家主人就……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「最對不起的就是修閣下,不過,只要說是妾身單方面愛慕,相信不會被為難。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘆了口氣:「為什麼找上我?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真要說?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「請務必明說,不然我會睡不好覺。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果說修閣下有兩位夫人,恐怕有許多精靈都不會反駁。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等,我對聖女可沒那想法……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妾身說的夫人不是指自己。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原本面無表情的龍女動搖著,羞得臉都紅了,簡直是不打自招!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女笑看蕾菲亞娜,「穿著如同小艾,雖是女僕,在我們看來與夫人無異。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜今天穿的,正是我帶她晉見陛下時的穿著,許多精靈真的誤會她是我的夫人。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊點著頭:「嗯!嗯!要不是我知道她的身分,肯定也會誤會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「這個嘛……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「但妾身見到小艾與修閣下完全不以為意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「我們的確是不以為意……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以妾身斗膽,請修閣下勉為其難,再多個情婦也無妨。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜聲音變尖了:「情婦?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊:「當然不是真的情婦,聖女大人才不會這樣想。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「唉~如果能幫桃花避開那些追求者,就當是做善事吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我總算鬆了口氣:「哈~我就說牽個手就變成那種關係太奇怪,幸好……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">話沒能說下去,因為四個女性都用輕蔑責怪的眼光看過來,我心虛噤聲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖然對不起修閣下,相對的,妾身願做補償,設法請右相簽訂和平條約。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真的可以嗎?」興奮地叫出口,那正是我低聲下氣的原因。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~修閣下果然有所目的才會容忍妾身的任性。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜無奈地看著我,抱歉露了餡,我是個蠢蛋。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在舞會裡,聖女不是牽了御龍劍士的手嗎?這代表什麼意思?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可能是不小心的吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女不是笨蛋,公主也在場吧?有生氣嗎?沒有吧!屬下還見到他們一起上了馬車,牽了手還能淡然,關係很不尋常。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好像也有道理。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那牽手已經不是誤觸的程度,聖女沒放手,修也沒有拒絕,在場賓客大都與瓦立培夫的想法相去無幾,兀罕當然也明白,只是表面上抗拒接受,精靈羈絆者一夫一妻是常態,但也沒有禁止多位伴侶的存在。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瓦立培夫繼續分析著,畢竟不希望主子亂來壞了大事:「沒有誰能與聖女跳完一整支舞,御龍劍士卻獨佔最後壓軸兩曲。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「想到就生氣,我最早邀請的,她竟然跳一半就下場休息,還以為是體力不行,不管談什麼話題都得不到回應。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請殿下再想想聖女的最後兩支舞,很精采吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是這麼回事,別妄想攏絡聖女,該說,要把聖女當做敵人。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「明白,這女的我也不想要了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「殿下能想通自然是最好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瓦立培夫說這麼多,就是要王子不要執著於聖女。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「還是按計畫走嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對,一大早,有十名衛士會送殿下上路北行,屬下會繞路在綠湖森林埋伏。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「為什麼?不是出城三加米就動手嗎?綠湖森林會不會有點遠?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「因為之前聖女遇襲,屬下才改變計畫。曾有歹匪搶奪聖女卻被擊退,就是因為太靠近里德修拉,在綠湖森林動手,御龍劍士再厲害也不可能趕上。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這樣就能把這筆帳算在里德修拉頭上嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「屬下想過了,這次全部滅口,再把屍體扔回城內。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此,假裝在里德修拉遇害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這樣做最安全,而且殿下早一步離開,不會有誰想得到是我們幹的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「時間能抓準吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「殿下別忘了,聖女侍衛隊不是有我們的內應嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「看來是萬無一失!我說瓦立培夫,你也過來喝兩杯,一直緊繃怎可能辦得好事呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「恭敬不如從命,殿下可以收起音蔽術,緊要話題就到此為止。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈~發現了呀!你是很小心,但是我也不差。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瓦立培夫不忌諱主從關係,與兀罕對坐,拿起酒杯便喝,開始閒聊起平安祭的話題,兀罕第一次參加,瓦立培夫以前則是年年都參加,兀罕感到新鮮,瓦立培夫卻覺得無趣,兀罕自顧自說,瓦立培夫是自顧自喝。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精明的靈劍士發現了不對勁,因為頂樓闖入一個他最不想見到的蒙面精靈,然而監視精靈卻完全沒有發出任何警訊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瓦立培夫淡然說道:「修閣下,好久不見。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙面精靈把門鎖上,並一掌打斷門閂,想要進出可能要花點功夫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕驚慌失措,叫道:「他就是御龍劍士?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蒙面精靈走向兀罕和瓦立培夫,停在十步前方,爽快地取下面罩露出笑容。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「瓦立培夫閣下~真的是好久不見,別來無恙!」</span></span></div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-ace32aa3-c71f-f9c0-4e52-40b370c5a219"><span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『精靈王祭典』是屬於所有精靈的節慶,以追思精靈王的恩惠為基本理念,不同王國或部族發展出各自的活動模式,因為信仰的精靈王不同,王國之間會選擇性互訪。</span></span></span></div>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-ace32aa3-c71f-f9c0-4e52-40b370c5a219">
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">然而『平安祭』是魯迪因德王國特有節慶,由於利德納陛下的美意,今年選定由里德修拉主辦,各個城市派出代表參加,有些鄰國也會派出權貴共襄盛舉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">今年平安祭非常特別,因為南方的修特羅里代表,竟然是王國治理者聖女桃花親自參加,消息一傳出,利納德不敢輕忽,決定派出王子克羅夫曼與公主莎娜伊美一起參加,鄰近王國也視為交好的機會,紛紛提高參與代表的層級,其中不乏衝著『聖女』而來的名門子弟,甚至也有未被列為代表,而自掏腰包前來參加的貴族。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">天下皆知聖女不能締結靈線,卻仍然有許多精靈汲汲營營追逐而來,那是因為聖女可以擁有伴侶,一旦有幸獲選,等同成為修特羅里的最上層貴族,不需締結靈線意味著真心不受檢驗,對於沒落貴族而言,是個重振家業的好機會。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女自己也明白這個道理,不可能輕易委身,最糟糕的情況就是為了政治利益而挑選伴侶,加德列斯曾經想過——如果城內有合適精靈能成為聖女伴侶,和平條約就能輕鬆落袋——無奈左思右想,聖女太年輕,里德修拉又沒有合適年齡層的優秀精靈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">昨天花了一整天逛上幾處景點,聖女很開心,我也很滿意,因為艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜放棄喝乾醋搞對立,主動陪在聖女兩側殷勤交談,反而是雛菊常在我身邊,不過看臉色就知道,她只是防止我接近聖女,可不是對我有好感,換句話說,我不再被少女們挾持,聖女也沒機會煩我,乖乖與梅林做好護衛工作挺輕鬆的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然蕾菲亞娜恢復正常,但是用餐時的『過分服侍』變本加厲,這只能怪我自己昨天早上做太過火,聖女與雛菊的詑異表情很熟悉,反正我通通無視。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女態度也有些不同,前天只與艾莉絲攏絡,昨天開始也與蕾菲亞娜交談,照說與女僕往來不宜深入,但是聖女似乎並不在意,我甚至發現,聖女分配在艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜的聊天時間,幾乎是差不多的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">今天早晨,梅竹郡府的詠月湖畔,草坪上舖上大塊布墊,我和艾莉絲、蕾菲亞娜、聖女、雛菊,再加上梅琳,一起享用豐盛的早餐,聖女與雛菊也覺得野餐的方式很新鮮。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女大人,真的很抱歉,雛菊自認需要學習的還很多。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——以蕾菲亞娜作為標準只會害了她自己。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別在意,普天之下能做到這種程度的女僕,大概就只有蕾菲亞娜小姐。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲笑說:「是啊!蕾菲亞娜是特例,她要終生侍奉小修哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊不甘示弱:「我也會終生侍奉聖女大人!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「她可是有立下誓約,休戚與共,誓同生死。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女兩眼睜得斗大:「等等,不必做到那種地步吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜完全不掩飾:「我就是立下誓約,誓同生死,主人~我說的對嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——說這句話時別臉紅啊!妳以前那張酷臉跑哪兒去了啦!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……是沒錯!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊:「說說而已吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「不是哦!小修當初纏鬥暗黑飛龍墜落深淵,蕾菲亞娜毫不猶豫跟著就跳下去,連我都服了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊瞠目結舌:「真的假的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「當然,幸好把主人給救了回來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不對……這哪裡是忠心?是愛戀吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我愛著主人,主僕之愛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊大叫:「小艾公主,這……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「沒錯,所以她的外號叫『最強女僕』!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊哭嗓著聲音:「雛菊完敗,蕾菲亞娜弄吃弄喝不說,還會劍術,連服侍都這麼……這麼……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不能這樣比較,如果要我比較,我還是只選擇雛菊,因為妳是我無可取代的好朋友,就算那些都做不到也無所謂。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女大人……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女的說辭讓雛菊安心不少。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「桃花說的沒錯,好主僕也要有好緣分,如果雛菊與蕾菲亞娜交換,也不見得能與新主人合得來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女:「小艾所言甚是。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然聖女要求我直呼桃花之名,但是我不能接受,『桃花』像是愛侶的暱稱,聽起來太過親密,我好不容易才安撫蕾菲亞娜,可不想因為稱呼而破功。最後只有艾莉絲與聖女互道名字,即使不從,聖女私下仍叫我小修,但我鐵了心把彼此交談減到最少,幸好聖女沒有刻意找我聊天。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜不理會周遭,又倒了一杯水過來,我一喝完杯子就被收走,手巾又跟上擦嘴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「郡府那麼大,卻幾乎看不到衛士走動,我現在有點明白了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「總覺得非常自在。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女和雛菊似乎漸漸習慣,把焦點從我們主僕移到郡府。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳們願意的話,躺下來小睡一會也很棒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們並未禁止衛士在外府活動,卸下勤務時他們也能來這散步休息,但是辦公室有個規矩,只要瞭望台頂掛上黃旗,表示我們在外府,衛士們會迴避。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「順帶一提,掛上紅旗表示主人在練習弓術咒術或是有決鬥比賽,如果有要事非得晉見主人,進入必須特別謹慎。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我與艾莉絲、蕾菲亞娜輪流講解。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊:「現在上頭掛的,真的是黃旗呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女嘆道:「羨慕——你們真懂得生活。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雛菊也會為聖女大人準備這樣的野餐。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳認為那些文官們會答應嗎?肯定又是禮儀啊,規矩之類的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「首先要有個自己的空間,像是小花園什麼的,規定不讓閒雜精靈進入,想怎麼做就怎麼做。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這建議不錯哦!」「可以試試。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我提了個建議,雛菊與聖女點頭贊同。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩、三天來的相處,我大致明白這位聖女的想法,高處不勝寒,五、六十歲的修為,思慮還算成熟,但受到身分牽制,無法任性而為,像是被關在籠裡的鳳凰,她會緊抓雛菊相伴,也不是不能理解。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲有默契,彷彿代我詢問:「雖然失禮,為什麼桃花不能有羈絆者呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「因為這根光輝聖杖。」聖女拿起讓艾莉絲看看,又說:「如果優秀的術士使用,它能夠增強咒術的效果,特別是療癒術。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那麼前天……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女明白艾莉絲的意思:「那天是我靈力耗盡,只好拜託小艾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">遇襲當下有許多傷員,都是艾莉絲進行治療,聖女只是一旁關心著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「外傳聖杖還能起死回生。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊:「那是以訛傳訛啦!聖杖只能即時救回重傷精靈。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女點點頭說:「正是如此,有些瀕死重傷者,被誤以為已經死了,所幸被聖杖救回,才會有起死回生的傳言。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲一聲原來如此,恍然大悟。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾很厲害,如果妳符合條件參加遴選,繼承者就不見得是桃花。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等,那與不能締結羈絆又有什麼關係?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女沒有回答艾莉絲,張開右手掌催動咒術,我很熟悉是療癒術。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她左手又拿起聖杖,從心口成形一根發光靈線,與杖柄連結,索敵發現聖女右手掌靈力反應突然增強許多。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲也有發現:「哇!靈力升級了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是如此,不過很奇怪,不一定靈力強就能引動,也不是療癒術厲害就能被聖杖承認,所以才會有遴選儀式,但是未曾有過男性精靈能引動聖杖。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以只有聖女,沒有聖男。」聖男是什麼鬼啦!艾莉絲胡亂取名真難聽。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女笑道:「因為必須用上羈絆靈線,所以締結過靈線的精靈就沒法使用。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「這光輝聖杖還真會挑剔。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊:「沒有締結也不一定能用,當初我也試過,完全沒有反應哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女把聖杖遞給艾莉絲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳試試看。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可以嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「無妨!只要催動療癒術就行,很簡單。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲接過聖杖,模仿聖女催動咒術。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她的心口靈線出現,卻無法接上聖杖,但是靈線連結到我心口來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳別把我當成聖杖啊!」我抗議著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是我能控制的,咒術效果似乎也沒有多少變化」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「正是如此,只要我還是聖女,就得好好保留靈線。」,聖女又作勢遞出聖杖,「蕾菲亞娜小姐也試試嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜揮著手,叫著:「不不,我不會用精靈咒術,謝謝!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妾身當然知道妳不會用精靈咒術,只是想瞭解魔靈咒術是否有用而已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲幫忙打圓場:「蕾菲亞娜也不太會用魔靈咒術,桃花別為難她啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女點著頭:「不過,聖杖能顯現羈絆靈線所在,算是附加效果吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一試就露餡,那當然更不能試,萬一發現蕾菲亞娜的羈絆靈線跑到我這兒來,事情就麻煩了,只不過,聖女居然願意讓身為女僕的蕾菲亞娜嚐試,頗令我在意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「機會難得,小修有興趣試試嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲興奮地點點頭,蕾菲亞娜似乎有點擔心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我姑且確認一下:「請問,這聖杖只會顯現羈絆靈線?精靈不是還有誓約靈線嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誓約靈線完全不會引動,如果可以,妾身就不必堅持保留羈絆靈線囉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">既然如此就還能夠一試,我接過聖女遞過來的聖杖。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜似乎有點害怕,往外移坐兩、三步,這不是欲蓋彌彰嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女笑道:「蕾菲亞娜小姐別害怕,小修的羈絆靈線總不會牽到妳那兒去吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜乾笑道:「才……才沒有在怕,羈絆靈線不怕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,妾身是開玩笑的,怎麼可能會有兩條羈絆靈線,早被小艾搶先囉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是我不會用什麼咒術,該怎麼試?」我絕對不用火焰術測試,只能用來點柴火肯定會被笑翻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就用你自己拿手的試試就行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">是這樣嗎?我厲害的就是索敵與狂暴,測試狂暴需要戰鬥,不如用索敵好了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,前門兩個,後門兩個,瞭望台一個,府內一個衛士都沒有。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">先不論佈置,梅竹郡府大概是精靈世界最寒酸的公主宅邸,這名屬下之所以不敢貿然進入,有很大的理由就是府內沒有任何守衛,這反而令他心生疑懼而卻步。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「屬下跳上木柵用鷹眼探視,發現主宅屋頂有隻雪狐早已盯著屬下,感官敏銳不在話下,強行潛入肯定會示警。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這麼厲害?以後王城別養獵狼,改養雪狐算了,你居然會怕寵物我也很意外。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,那雪狐不比一般,是靈獸,屬下看過牠與十幾個劍士術士從容周旋。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">其實梅琳毛色與一般雪狐一樣都是白色,只是她能以靈力自我清潔,才會特別白淨。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「什麼話!我與聖女素未謀面,擅自招呼就成了搭訕,周圍精靈會怎麼說呀?好歹我也是個王子,只是想看看聖女長什麼樣子罷了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕王子比聖女更早來到里德修拉,甚至混入南城門的迎接隊伍想要一睹芳容,未料聖女遇襲改由東門進城,當他趕到時,聖女已坐進馬車,直到昨天知道聖女出遊,便跟在附近遠遠看著,這一跟就是一整個早上,護衛看在眼裡,知道王子喜歡有沈魚落雁之貌的聖女,只是兀罕嘴硬不承認。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見護衛沒反應,兀罕繼續說道:「她旁邊的靈劍士看起來很年輕,氣勢卻很有壓迫感,明明有段距離,附近精靈又多,就覺得他好像特別多看了我幾眼。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「屬下早提醒過,不可太過靠近,包含屬下在內,幾乎是三個靈級士合力圍攻,最後還是落荒而逃。御龍二字不是門面,他真的幹掉過飛龍,親眼所見。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這名護衛正是新安達魯的前靈劍士——瓦立培夫,逃亡到鐵拉布塔王國,成為二王子兀罕的門客,這次以衛衛身分隨同而來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「殿下另有兩名護衛,在城內只要不鬧事就不會有危險,在下實在不想對上御龍劍士,爾後行事會方便些。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「和解但書裡通緝的只有龐加拉度,你入籍鐵拉布塔,也策封為靈劍士,這份自由等於是我們用錢買回來的,根據和平條約是既往不咎,根本就不必害怕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一碼事歸一碼事,兩營相鬥是事實,就算我不惹他,他可不見得會放過我。明的沒事,暗地可說不準,更何況,這裡是他的地盤。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就聽你的,我儘量不碰這個御龍劍士,那個詠月公主什麼來頭,長得也很漂亮,似乎還是個孩子,策封公主很厲害嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「依屬下看,御龍劍士與身邊的女僕才是最厲害的,詠月公主的策封,大概是因為御龍劍士解救新安達魯的功勞,畢竟是羈絆者,或許是以此掩飾耳目。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">瓦立培夫早知道詠月公主就是艾莉絲公主,但是他另有想法,不願老實告訴兀罕。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「女僕?哪一個?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「藍頭髮的小魔靈,非常抱歉,屬下也不是她的對手!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「瓦立培夫~你是靈劍士吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是這麼回事,御龍劍士劍術沈穩有力,她的則是凌厲刁鑽,不相上下,而且咒術修為都不差,不需詠咒,也有可能是劍咒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可惡!只是個小城,居然有此能手。總之,你要幫我,有美麗的聖女陪伴一生,我兀罕也能揚名。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「要是修特羅里不存在,幹麻還需要聖女?大不了,我私底下另找個羈絆者,左擁右抱也很不錯。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兀罕哈哈大笑。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他是樂觀主戰派,與務實穩健派的大王子真冬,性格恰好相反。瓦立培夫暗忖,能把諷刺聽成讚美,二王子也不過爾爾,不過最擔心的並非這件事,而是該如何避開難纏的御龍劍士。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女好厲害,來不到半炷時間,居然和孩子們玩成一片。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾是因為年紀差不多,所以和孩子們相處得好,那聖女又是為什麼呀?」蕾菲亞娜好奇問著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「桃花從小就是孤兒,在孤兒院長大的,來到這裡很自然。」艾莉絲回答著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">昨天逛街遊覽玩了一天,今天聖女要求能拜訪我和艾莉絲常去的地方,城務廳和修道院略過不說,我們帶著聖女搭馬車到瓊巴里山下走走,正值春天百花盛開,雖然景觀與梅竹郡府小小相似,但視野完全不一樣,搭馬車是為了避開熱情的精靈,因為出城,聖女的侍衛隊就開始緊張,跟隨不超過十步距,實在是玩不開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">下午則是拜訪孤兒院,艾莉絲說要幫忙介紹,卻被聖女回絕,和雛菊換上平民長裙,我們對院長說明狀況,便由院長引薦說是臨時『大姐姐』,也就是褓姆的意思,通常新來的『大姐姐』都會淪為孩子的惡作劇對象,或者是被冷落、被排躋,我、艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜躲在二樓監視,萬一聖女搞不定,還得設法救場。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">意外地,聖女與孩子們相處融洽,真是白操心了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「能與孩子們如此互動,聖女沒有可能引發戰爭,和平條約肯定會簽的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對手不見得是聖女喔!或許三個宰相的意見更重要。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜冷靜地為我分析原因,艾莉絲驚訝地望著她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我臉上有什麼嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,小蕾終於恢復平常的聰明。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「什麼呀?我一直都是很平常的吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「才不是,這兩天妳沒事就盯著小修,常常臉紅,有時還不知道旁邊發生什麼事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是我的錯,抱歉!昨天早上做得太超過,因為——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不准說。」蕾菲亞娜急忙摀住我的嘴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她們一個臉羞紅,一個笑瞇瞇。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">昨天早上我第一次感受到龍女霸氣,太恐怖了,以後絕對不敢再咬蕾菲亞娜的耳朵,現場慘況就不說了,這兩天她還常常失神傻笑,唯一改善的,就是不再瞎喝聖女的乾醋。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲逮到機會就捉弄蕾菲亞娜,龍女也不至於玩輸公主,我把注意力放回聖女身上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女與孩子們處得好,有一部分要歸功於艾莉絲,因為之前勤於關心問題孤兒,打開對方心房,慢慢接觸使得回歸社會,所以今天聖女才能迅速建立良好關係。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津、安潔兒與一群護衛都擠在大門那兒偷看,聖女吩咐不可接近,侍衛隊又不敢遠離,好尷尬;我們二樓這裡空間太小,沒法讓護衛們上來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖說城主讓我們打好關係,但我現在才想認真了解聖女,是因為那根『聖杖』。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">被艾莉絲逼問著,蕾菲亞娜似乎不敵,轉而對我求助,但是我也不知如何處理。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我索性把艾莉絲拉到牆壁,她驚愕著,當明白我想做的事時就想逃走,但是我已經壓制住她的身軀,確定不會被發現,乾脆地奪走她的嘴唇。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我想要小艾,別說話。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不要啊!在這裡不行,樓下好多精靈。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不管,我現在就要。」二話不說堵上她的嘴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩分鐘左右,難得艾莉絲也臉紅了,我這才鬆開手,卻又不能真的放開,因為她軟趴在我胸前。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲喘著氣:「回去後,小修想做什麼我都不會拒絕,拜託別在這裡,我……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這下子輪到蕾菲亞娜笑嘻嘻:「現在小艾該知道小修對我有多壞了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「難得能捉弄小蕾,小修竟然欺負我!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我再次輕柔親吻艾莉絲,好讓她慢慢平靜下來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「趁聖女不在這裡,我要說點事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">窩在我懷裡不肯離開的艾莉絲說:「是聖杖,對嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「果然有發生不得了的事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真不愧是妳們——我當時重啟索敵術測試,那可不是比六百步距增加一些而已,恐怕,整個里德修拉城裡,每個活著的生物我全部都能偵測到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「難怪那時小修會大叫,肯定嚇一大跳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不僅如此,每個精靈形態都十分清晰,特別是小蕾,所以我才要隱暪當作沒事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「為什麼我很特別?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一定是那時小蕾滿心只想著小修,所以才會顯得特別。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哼!我要叫小修把在竹林對我做的事,也對妳做一次!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「饒了我!開玩笑的,不敢了啦~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">為了不讓她們繼續胡鬧,我公布答案:「小蕾之所以特別,是因為顯現的,是龍的形態!」就算是龍隱也隱藏不了,這索敵太厲害。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">少女們果然立刻安靜下來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲總算離開我的懷裡:「事關小蕾的秘密,可得小心注意,幸好桃花不會索敵。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「那已經不是索敵的程度而已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「可是當時靈線並未相連。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「說不定和希緹麗亞有關,精靈王的遺物,會對精靈王有所反應很正常,甚至不用靈線就能操作。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我基本上沒有操作,只是握住聖杖,就變成那樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「小修比桃花還厲害,她至少要等到靈線相連才能開始進行療癒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「小修會想得到聖杖嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不會,也不需要,因為我已經找到誓約靈龍囉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「真是的,你修理完小艾,現在又想修理我嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「要是不乖,我就要修理妳!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我作勢要抓,蕾菲亞娜趕緊躲到艾莉絲身後。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我的確沒想要霸佔聖杖,但是,我對聖杖背後的秘密很感興趣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">為什麼我對聖杖會有反應?為什麼我的靈線不用引動?我還私下試了狂暴與鷹眼,提升有限,但索敵效果超群,簡直就像是衛星探測,鉅細靡遺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">公主與龍女盯著在樓下與孩子們互動的聖女,與我一樣,都產生了濃厚興趣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看看時間,也差不多該返回郡府等候小公主光臨。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">除了莎娜伊美公主,克羅夫曼王子也一同來到,同時舊識普金威丹靈術士跟隨左右,以王子護衛身分參加平安祭,克羅夫曼偷偷告訴我,想讓普金威丹見見老朋友,也想讓他多建立些功蹟,才不會被新安達魯眾精靈排躋。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女大人也是郡府貴客,目前已經客滿,如果克羅夫曼殿下要住下,在下和小艾只好搬出去住囉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放心啦!我只是關切妹妹居住所在,而且父王吩咐過,務必先向詠月公主致意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">關切妹妹住的地方是糊弄,比起城主,優先拜訪詠月公主在禮數上是不對的,但若考慮到小艾就是『艾莉絲公主』,那麼一點都不意外。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不過,克羅夫曼似乎另有所圖。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女大人~在下克羅夫曼,專程前來問候,當面一見,果然驚為天人!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「殿下多禮,桃花多有惶恐,你我均是賓客,在此論地位高下對主人頗為失禮,請抬起頭隨意說話。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">莫非克羅夫曼對聖女也有意思?年齡地位相當,先不論身分,光是站在一起就是才子佳人,但是聖女的侍僕雛菊對克羅夫曼似乎非常不以為然,不掩在意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當然克羅夫曼也看到雛菊的態度,就在聖女打算提點之前,笑瞇瞇搶先說道:「聖女國色天香氣質出眾,在下肯定要前來瞻仰讚嘆,但是小女僕請放心,憧憬之外再無任何愛慕之意,彼此皆是王國之柱,絕無可能將兒女私情置於百姓福址之前,聖女認為呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「殿下氣度宏宇,一席話能分輕重,若非妾身重任扛肩無法割棄,少女心恐難抵擋殿下魅力。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來如此,不愧是王者之間的交談,克羅夫曼與聖女看似互相抬舉,卻都表明自己深明大義,聖女肯定希望伴侶留在修特羅里,然而王子不可能離開新安達魯,俊男美女看似貌合,終究也只能神離,除非有一方願意放棄自己的身分。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊反而不好意思,深深一鞠躬:「誤會殿下心意,雛菊非常抱歉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈!無妨,不如說,有此為主著想的女僕,在下十分羨慕聖女啊!不過,在下心目中最理想的女僕是——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「蕾菲亞娜!」「——蕾菲亞娜小姐!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊搶著和克羅夫曼異口同聲,惹得在場全都笑得樂不可支,只有蕾菲亞娜臉紅得像蘋果一樣,她已難再假裝面無表情,是因為我而改變嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我確實希望能看到這樣子的蕾菲亞娜,不過,就算被揶諭,她的過分侍奉也不會有所改變,『無視』已經躍升為她的主要技能。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">克羅夫曼並未停下與聖女交談,氣氛很融洽,但我漸漸明白,王子並非好色之徒,而是在打量這位鄰國統治者,並且試圖建立良好關係,莎娜伊美似乎早已知道哥哥的企圖,一反常態並未吵鬧刁難,艾莉絲也善盡地主之儀,與小公主閒談新安達魯大小事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊也沒閒著,在一旁與小公主的侍僕愛拉相談甚歡,</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">氣氛不錯,但是,蕾菲亞娜——妳怎麼還是臉紅通通的?而且越站離我越近,好後悔當初惡作劇咬住她的耳朵,少女龍角竟然如此敏感,兩天已過還是餘韻猶存。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">身為聖女的護衛,我有點傷腦筋了,今天的晚宴不比前日的私宴,幾乎各地顯要都已來到里德修拉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我老實向聖女招認,自己是苦力型劍士,要求我婉轉勸退王公貴人,實在是強我所難,聖女允諾這事就交給安潔兒,畢竟年齡也可以當作擋劍牌——尚未成年的我,只要與野津左右警戒就行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不,不只是保護聖女而已,我得仔細盯好索敵,任何惡意與靈力波動,我都得立刻示警,也要同時確保艾莉絲與莎娜伊美的安全,我已經向城主取得許可,讓蕾菲亞娜一起陪同,否則憑我一個人怎麼可能頂得住一個聖女兩個公主,總會有我不方便的時候。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">晚宴上見到不少熟人,如今是安達魯靈術士的普金威丹,布羅倪的加雷王子與靈術士維特拉芙美。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">莎娜伊美領著艾莉絲一起會見各城市的靈劍士或官員,而且刻意以姐妹相稱,還要求對方得先向艾莉絲招呼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來如此,原本不識艾莉絲的精靈們,並不知情策封公主的前因後果,在應對上頗有疑慮,有莎娜伊美一旁壓陣,艾莉絲理所當然也被視為公主一樣的存在。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">很明顯,聖女就是晚宴的中心,多虧她的關係,我還認識不少國外貴族。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">鐵拉布塔王國的二王子兀罕,與會者除了聖女,就屬他位階最高,但是動作輕浮,與美男外表格格不入;拿茲王國的忽爾守王爵,居然是十天前才受封王爵,擺明是為了聖女而來;喬治敦王國的科普斯夫靈劍士,言下之意想代替我自薦為聖女護衛,反被聖女一口回絕;高普尼亞王國的哈丹吉魯斯武爵,大臣之子,也是紈袴子弟,一眼就知道非學武者,還想霸佔聖女旁邊的位置,不過他挑錯對象,野津毫不客氣叫他滾蛋。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">倒是莎娜伊美受到不少關注的目光,但是刁蠻的個性,遇上糾纏就直接數落對方,漸漸大家都知道吃力不討好,不敢再隨意搭訕小公主。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我開始擔心了,今晚就已如此,明晚還有舞會怎麼辦?會爭吵嗎?不過,我覺得這難題要由聖女自己解決,想和誰共舞要由她自己決定才是。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幸好沒碰上聖女的瘋狂追求者卡邦爾多,連雛菊都會為之頭疼,不知道長什麼模樣,不過他大概沒有資格受邀今天的晚宴與明天的夜祭,因為我在名單上找不著他的名字。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">無論是誰,聖女都會親切回應,但是交談不會超過十句,一旦對方不肯離開,聖女就會轉而與我交談,雛菊也會幫忙扯謊,說我有事要找聖女,藉故讓聖女脫身。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">晚宴之後,加德列斯和聖女在談話,席禮亞趁機把我、艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜叫到一旁。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修辛苦了!」席禮亞先慰勞我。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夫人,這是小修該做的,雖然很想抱怨一下。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「看得出聖女很依賴你呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是不得已的!幾乎每個上來招呼的都有所企圖,聖女又不像莎娜伊美小公主會直接拒絕,所以常常抓我來格擋。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我擔心明晚的舞會,先說了,我絕對不會跳舞的,況且也不太懂。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我沒說謊,雖然精於人類的社交舞,但我精靈舞的程度卻很蹩腳。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞:「我明白小修不擅長這個。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞把音量放低:「小修,你要特別注意鐵拉布塔的兀罕殿下。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!我知道他,是個美男子。」其實我很想說他有點娘娘腔。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「他是王子,雖然只是第二繼承順位,我們也惹不起。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞:「就是第二繼承順位我們才擔心,鐵拉布塔一直都不太友好,這次大老遠南下參加平安祭,還派出二王子做代表,恐怕背後有所想法。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果鐵拉布塔和修特羅里聯盟,對魯迪因德而言,就是南北夾擊。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此,所以二王子想成為聖女的伴侶?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">正因為是第二繼承順位,才可以無後顧之憂把王子放到修特羅里。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「可是,好像……癩蛤蟆想吃天鵝肉?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說的好,只不過——那位帥哥是癩蛤蟆?那我算什麼?有比癩蛤蟆更醜的嗎?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞:「我也不認為聖女會喜歡那種男性,不過,也得防著他們拉攏聖女。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下說句話,聖女似乎很善良,也不喜歡戰爭,和平條約非常有機會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞:「問題是修特羅里的右相赫立魯夫,他負責外交軍事也是主戰派,這次他可能是故意不來參加平安祭,避開我們遊說他簽訂和平條約。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那我們處心積慮與聖女交好,豈不是白作工。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞:「民心在聖女一方,赫立魯夫不可能完全無視她的意見,如果你們能成為聖女的好朋友,那麼她就可能挺身而出抵制赫立魯夫。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下明白,也會儘量幫助聖女。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞:「我現在不方便出面,要請小修多諒解。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲看著她的肚子:「夫人~恕小艾直言,妳快藏不住啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞:「呵~在這裡偷偷告訴你們,明天夜祭就會宣布。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「時機不錯,能公開實在太好了!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈懷胎九月,席禮亞在去年冬天懷孕,估計今年秋天產子,連我都能看得出她微微凸起的肚子。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞笑著,不但不掩飾,還故意對著我挺出肚子:「小修羨慕嗎?過幾年小艾也能懷孕,別著急。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">邊說還邊看著蕾菲亞娜,龍女的木臉差點就要崩潰了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我可不想這麼早有孩子,畢竟還有許多事要做,而且蕾菲亞娜真的要生,意味著會面臨各種奇怪的眼光,大家肯定會猜測到底誰是她的羈絆者,我當然沒可能大方承認,這對精靈常識影響甚巨,艾莉絲想生孩子得再等個上百年,可不是席禮亞說的過幾年而已。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">總算,晚宴結束,聖女也說累了,我們帶著小公主莎娜伊美打道回府,女性太多,我決定讓聖女、艾莉絲與莎娜伊美搭乘馬車,我則是跟著馬車當作散步,雛菊與愛拉似乎已成了好朋友,聊得挺開心的,恐怕連自個主人都忘了,蕾菲亞娜則陪著我,她總算回復正常,不再沒事就突然害羞。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一早,看著窗外,今天會是個好天氣,我按例把梅琳叫去陪艾莉絲,獨自下樓,我沒帶劍也沒打算晨練,聖女也在,小公主莎娜伊美也在,雖然不會如此早起,我也不想驚動到她們主僕。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">出了廳門就傳來甜美的聲音,「主人早安!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她一邊說一邊怯懦地後退,還直盯著我的腰部,我沒帶劍讓她提高了警覺性。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我失聲一笑,「對不起啦!我不會再那樣任性而為,小蕾別擔心。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她鬆了一口氣,朝我走來,我見機不可失,立刻又把她抱住。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修……你……你又……」和前天不同,這次甚至完全沒有抵抗。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我用手心蓋住她的嘴唇:「逗妳的,我不會為難小蕾,只是早安之吻,可以嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「主人越來越壞,好危險。」嘴上數落,卻是點頭回抱我的腰胯。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不客氣地給個溫柔親吻,聖女住在郡府期間,我想盡量多給她一些,艾莉絲與我同床共枕容易溝通,蕾菲亞娜獨守空閨難免胡思亂想。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是主人不好!」她嘟起小嘴,卻沒有放開我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那天早晨,我咬了她的小耳朵,她卻眼睛一紅就撲上來,強硬締結靈線,久久不肯放開,還扯破我的衣服,她幾乎舔遍我整張臉,我被緊緊鎖住,怎麼都逃不開,只好乖乖任憑擺弄,到最後她回神時,一張臉和紅蕃茄一樣,失神了好久。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我已經說了好多對不起!真不知道該怎麼賠,妳以前怎不跟我說這事啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就怕說了你會故意玩弄我,明明說過龍角很敏感,你要有點自覺呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「以後絕不再犯,真的很愧疚讓妳不舒服。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">誒?我好像隱約聽到她說不對,太小聲沒聽清楚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她把頭埋進我胸前:「小蕾並不是討厭,也……也不會不舒服……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">難道她?好可疑,試探一下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就算不討厭也不能這樣做,我只為小蕾做喜歡的事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「總之別擔心,我既然答應過就不會再亂來,除非妳說喜歡。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「……我……」她把頭埋得更深,我猜對了,小龍女果然有一點被虐屬性。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳說什麼?我沒聽到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「……小蕾……有喜歡啦!」,她終於抬起頭,看到我笑瞇瞇盯著,知道是故意的,「小修可惡,真的越來越壞了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我放開她:「我會看狀況偶而為之,小蕾也很開心,對嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜點點頭,我也大致明白,那時觸動的應該是她的靈獸野性,舔臉蹭臉的動作與小貓一模一樣,梅琳也會,只是蕾菲亞娜更瘋狂,完全無法自制。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以,告訴我那時候妳真正的感受!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「感覺世界真美好,只想躺在草地上舒舒服服的不想動,偶而想到就好幸福。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她那時候根本就連走都走不動,等了好一陣子才恢復,恢復後就一直在害羞。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳喜歡我就奉陪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修不可以像那次一樣,什麼都不說就突然咬住耳朵。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好好~聽妳的,我們走吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等,我要先說在前頭,小蕾最喜歡的還是溫柔的小修喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我笑著,摸摸她的頭,小心翼翼愛撫她的小尖耳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「還有~還有~不可以把我的秘密告訴小艾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我答應,妳趕快恢復正常,不然小艾肯定會追根究底!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">少女心就是這麼回事,之前沒能在人間學到的,如今由艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜教會了我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">今天是梅竹郡府開放的第一天,估計會有不少精靈進來嚐個新鮮,我的好友——城務廳的約提正在做最後的確認。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「明明就非常害怕,小修一定覺得很煩。」靈狐梅琳吐槽著誓約者。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「胡說,只要是小艾,不管怎樣我都不覺得煩。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲笑瞇瞇的:「有小修陪,去哪兒我都不怕!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我知道她怕黑,特別是死靈——精靈死後的靈體,也就是鬼,其實根本沒有精靈見過死靈,只是傳說而已,希緹麗亞的靈魂寄宿在精靈樹內,精靈樹毀壞,靈魂也一同消逝,我推論即使有死靈,也無法在世上隨意遊蕩。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「計算得剛剛好,飲水點心通通不剩,可以輕輕鬆鬆回家。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳:「小蕾完全抱著野餐的心態來的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「才不是,幫助主人最重要,野餐只是順便。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲笑道:「在一片漆黑的礦坑裡野餐,感覺也很新鮮哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖說不是害怕,可是一直無法習慣坑道,很不舒服。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「記得在伯太部落,小修寧可搭帳棚,也不願住矮靈穴室。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒錯,壓迫感搞得我心裡毛毛的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「矮靈認為這樣才安全。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲故作驚訝:「是充滿回憶的帳棚啊!難怪小蕾記得那麼清楚。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">又開始了,她倆真不得閒,一閒下來就會互相捉弄對方。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜氣急敗壞:「小艾,妳……小修你看小艾又來了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">很意外,這次居然找我告狀。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我輕撫龍女的長髮,溫柔哄著:「別生氣,那也是我一生中很重要的回憶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜的反應就像燒開的水壺,再多煮一會,鍋蓋就會爆開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呣……小修和小艾聯手欺負我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不只艾莉絲,連梅琳都笑得在地上打滾,我做過頭了,為了讓蕾菲亞娜回復正常,反而花了更長時間安撫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後,各自把背包稍作整理,準備打道回府,蕾菲亞娜提醒我,晚上還得到城主官邸參加歡迎聖女的宴會,在那之前,得先清洗掉身上髒污與礦坑臭味。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">離開坑口不到百餘公尺,隨即發現了異狀,「誒……附近有不少精靈,今天有什麼大活動嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「就是迎接聖女吧!時間好像也差不多,想去看看嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別開玩笑,一身髒兮兮的,我無所謂,詠月公主就難看囉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜搖著頭:「不對,迎接儀式在南城門,距離太遠,也沒聽說有改到東城門。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「靈力反應還蠻強的,不知道在玩什麼。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳嗅覺一流:「小修~真的不對勁,有血腥味。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這句話可不能當作沒聽見,看了看艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜,她們對我點點頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">迅速卸下背包交給蕾菲亞娜:「我先過去,梅琳也跟上。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">換作平時,蕾菲亞娜肯定會跟來,但又不能把背包全塞給艾莉絲,衡量現實,她說:「小修快去,我們隨後就到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「小心點!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">拔出風行聖劍,催動劍咒,帶著梅琳往東疾奔而去,六百步距還不算遠,但是必須穿越樹林,地面上有不少灌木障礙,當下決定上樹跳躍前進,狂暴加持之下,我的動作比猴子更敏捷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">好管閒事非我本性,但里德修拉是艾莉絲的家,又是平安祭時期,靈劍士好歹要有丁點維護世界和平的自覺,如果只是普通糾紛,以我的身分還能夠設法調解。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我是桃花.修特羅里,有知以來就是修道院裡的孤兒,曉安娜院長帶著我長大,桃花是她取的名字,因為我是在桃樹下被撿到的,雛菊是一起長大的好朋友,雖然沒有問過,我猜她大概是在雛菊花圃旁被發現的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">九歲時,院長誇我有資質,開始教導各種精靈咒術,我沒辜負她的期望,精靈咒術進步神速,成年之後,也一直留在修道院服務,用療癒術幫助生病或受傷的精靈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">五十二歲時,曉安娜院長推舉我參加聖女遴選儀式,當前一代聖女秀波大人宣布我是聖女繼承者時,雖然開心無比,卻也非常恐慌,因為從此之後,我得以聖女身分住進王城,治理修特羅里,為了符合治理者身分,每天都有上不完的課程,壓力也很大,幸虧大部分國事有三位宰相輔佐處理。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我很感謝雛菊,幸虧她自告奮勇進入王城成為貼身侍僕,否則我一定會孤獨而死;如今,我很後悔讓她成為我的侍僕,因為我們即將遇上這輩子的最大危機。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">里德修拉就在眼前,卻遇上失控野牛群迎面衝擊的危機,野津侍衛長當機立斷佈下防禦圈,並且讓副侍衛長安潔兒帶著我和雛菊暫時躲開,野津是很有能力與經驗的靈劍士,應該有把握能撐過去,雖然我很想命令他乾脆放棄馬車行李,全部團員一起避難,畢竟最可貴的是生命。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我點頭,也願意相信。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">警戒衛士站在高高的岩石上,用鷹眼術觀察狀況,安潔兒問著狀況如何。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和安潔兒對視,一起鬆了口氣,但願一切都能順利度過。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「安潔兒閣下!安潔兒閣下!」警戒衛士再次大喊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「又怎麼啦?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有騎馬隊伍從東邊接近,速度很快,不到八百步距,有十多個精靈。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「里德修拉派來迎接的嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不對吧!里德修拉在西邊,迎接的精靈怎麼會從東邊而來?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「全都灰衣武裝,而且有面罩遮臉。」衛士給了答案,來者不善。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒大叫:「全員上馬疾行,目標里德修拉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當衛士全都上馬,已經能看到灰衣精靈接近中。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「怕是針對聖女大人,我們直奔里德修拉,只要進城就安全了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她再次大喊下令:「全速前進,保護聖女大人。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">灰衣精靈尾隨而來,目標果然是我們——不對,目標是我!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">追來的灰衣精靈很快,沒辦法,我們並未準備替換馬匹,兩天的路程下來,馬兒雖不至於累倒,但體力明顯差了對方一截。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只能拼一拼,是他們先追上?還是我們先到達里德修拉?沒多久之前,里德修拉似乎近在眼前,現在卻好像遠在天邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幾支咒矢飛來,旁邊安潔兒築起障壁擋了下來,然而一名衛士就沒這麼好運,馬兒中箭摔倒在地,我擔心地看向那名衛士。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒大喊:「大伙別停下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">灰衣精靈並未為難落馬的衛士,只是緊追著我們。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——目標不是衛士真的是太好了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">自認咒術還不錯,障壁術也還可以,但是,我並不擅長戰鬥,在搖晃的馬背上,很難集中精神操作攻擊或防禦咒術。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">運氣並未好轉,沒多久,又有兩名衛士落馬,因為被追趕,奔馳路線稍為有點偏差,基本上,我們仍然接近著里德修拉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">是誰都好——遠古精靈王,懇求您救救我們!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">祈禱之際,我和雛菊共乘的馬兒被射中後腿。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「桃花危險!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊慌了,一時喊出我以前的名字,好懷念。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">催動狂暴,攬起雛菊一蹬躍起,脫離即將摔倒的馬兒,雖然驚險,總算是平安落地,但是為了抱住雛菊,聖杖沒能挾緊掉落地上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見我們落地,安潔兒和三名衛士回過頭,下馬護在我們身邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女大人,騎我的馬,里德修拉就在前面。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我搖搖頭:「不,感謝閣下護衛桃花至今,該輪我來保護各位。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女大人!」三名衛士也懇求著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">已經來不及了,灰衣精靈團團圍住,三名術士發動火球術,一名術士發動著爆烈術,似是威嚇。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一名男性灰衣精靈說話:「我們只要聖女,其他精靈可以安全離開。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我沒法停下施術休息,因為又是三顆火球襲來,對方刻意使用車輪戰。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一波一波輪流襲來的火球,打算消磨我和安潔兒的靈力,對方有備而來,發動爆烈的術士並未擊出,大概是在等我們精疲力盡時一舉擊倒。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幾十輪的火球攻擊,安潔兒已經喘不上氣,大概是極限了,我以眼神示意雛菊扶住她,劍士們想衝出去戰鬥,卻難以離開障壁圈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">靈力不斷耗去,我也快撐不下去,只能仰賴劍士肉搏戰……</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">突然間一聲大喝——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">旁邊樹林中竄出一名男性精靈,我心中一驚,不,那不叫『竄出』,而是從樹林中『飛出』,足足有三、四層樓的高度,不怕摔死嗎?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不,不但沒摔著,他還在空中『飄』了卅餘步距,緩緩降落在我的水瀑障壁外,我不知道該用什麼字眼形容,從未見過有精靈能做出這種動作。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">眼見有顆火球正要擊中他。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「危險!」我大叫著,但是自身難保沒有餘裕幫忙。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他抽出腰間短劍,只是淡然一揮,火球便消失無蹤,我再次嚇了一跳,不曾見過的招式,而且態度好從容。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不但火球消失,也不再出現其他火球,連發動中的爆烈術也解除了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他回頭看著我說:「夠了,解除障壁吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——罕見的黑頭髮,年輕高大,耳朵……好短好圓,他真的是精靈嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">呆呆注視著,反而忘了他讓我解除障壁,見我沒有停止,他又是短劍一揮,我的水瀑居然自動消失?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒事了,暫時別用靈力,妳看起來要耗盡啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聲音好溫柔,我因為放心而瞬間崩潰,膝蓋一軟就蹲了下來,還好有雛菊攙扶著,我忍不住流下淚來,得救了嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">戰況匹變,帶頭灰衣精靈楞了好一會才又大叫:「火球別停,繼續攻擊。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那個……我沒停,無法發動。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「爆烈也沒能發動,莫名其妙。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈對帶頭灰衣精靈大聲說道:「我是想來勸架的,但是看你們很不順眼,不——該說我看到蒙面的就很不順眼,何況又是以多欺少,欺負女孩子更不可原諒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">帶頭的灰衣精靈不予理會:「大家拔劍吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">十二名灰衣精靈同時拔劍,個個能用咒術又能用劍,訓練有素絕非普通,我又擔心了,就算不用咒術,對方仍有數量優勢。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈搔著頭有點靦腆:「那個……能不能打個商量,肯離開的話就當作沒事,拿劍指著我……真的不太妙啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這……是誰不妙啊?是示弱還是自大?一身髒兮兮,看不出身分,可能是太過年輕而名不見經傳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">灰衣精靈沒有搭理,全部一起圍攻上來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒和衛士們相互點個頭,也拔出劍衝出去迎擊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「梅琳,目標帶頭那個灰衣精靈,他最厲害。」年輕精靈大叫,並拔出背上長劍,一長一短的雙劍士,我是第一次見到。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不知從哪兒竄出一道白影,直撲負責談判的灰衣精靈,好快!但灰衣精靈也不慢,灰影白影交錯難以看清,我甚至看不出來那白影是什麼動物,犬嗎?還是狼?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈被六名灰衣精靈圍攻,卻是好整以暇,趁隙關注其他精靈的戰鬥,他居然還有餘裕?圍攻他的精靈動作拖泥帶水腳步不穩,完全跟他不上,地上塵土飛揚,發生了什麼嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">本事高強,但他似乎有點無奈,與其說是來救我,更像是來勸架的,不忍心隨意傷害,好溫柔的想法。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女大人!聖女大人!」雛菊一直叫著,這才發覺自己一直盯著年輕精靈,我趕緊移開視線。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女大人還走得動嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉!靈力耗得太過,兩腿無力。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等著,我馬上牽匹馬來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「拜託了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊清楚沒有力量保護我,不如做點其他有用的事,比如說牽匹馬趁亂脫逃。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一名灰衣精靈見我落單坐在地上,甩開年輕精靈朝我衝過來,糟了,怎都起不了身,兩腿完全不聽使喚,突然一把長劍橫在我面前,年輕精靈移動好快,灰衣精靈停下不敢再靠近。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「想偷襲?剛剛說了,欺負女孩不可原諒,怎麼就不肯聽勸啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幸好他趕上了,但是被六個灰衣精靈包圍的事實仍然沒變。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我現在要用火海,你們自己想辦法擋住吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">居然告訴對方自己要用的招數,是笨蛋嗎?不過,我想看看什麼是火海,畢竟是沒聽過的咒術。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他短劍胸前一揮,出現了三顆火球,好快,大概是劍咒,他拿的是聖劍嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">三個火球擊出後卻轉化為一道道波浪向灰衣精靈襲捲而去,又一個不曾見過的招式。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不由得讚嘆,火焰熊烈,顏色好美!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「障壁!」「快用障壁!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『火海』速度不快,好似是為了給對方預留反應時間,剛剛灰衣精靈無法用咒,現在卻能使出障壁,是年輕精靈的故意而為?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見灰衣精靈被火海纏住,年輕精靈蹲下對我說:「坐在這裡很危險,去那邊比較安全。」他指著外圍一處,不知何時那裡多了紅髮與藍髮兩個女孩。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我……我走不動,靈力幾乎耗光,沒力氣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我怎麼老碰上這種事……那個,我抱妳過去可以嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「緊急事故,我不在意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈雙劍入鞘,兩手一把就將我橫抱起來,他一奔就來到兩位女孩身邊,好快的速度,不過我已經不再驚訝了!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">紅髮小精靈似乎不太高興:「你又抱個女孩回來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊遠遠看見,丟了手上繮繩就跑過來:「你……你……快放下來,怎麼可……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我示意雛菊不要再說,她才把話給吞了回去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈將我放下:「誤會啊!她動不了,留在那裡只會被偷襲,麻煩妳們照顧。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">藍髮小魔靈扶著我,面無表情說:「主人抱起女孩的動作真是洗鍊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈嘆了口氣:「求求別再說了,我好不容易阻止他們,又打起來了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">似乎發現我在這裡,安潔兒和衛士們都移動過來,灰衣精靈們保持一段距離,似乎被剛才那個『火海』給嚇住,一時不敢貿然前進。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">而且我終於看清那道白影是什麼——有著超大尾巴的雪狐!站在年輕精靈身邊,如同寵物一般,有靈力流動現象,似乎還是靈獸。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈再次拔出雙劍:「不動真格,對方好像不肯退讓。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">動真格?難道剛才……</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">藍髮小魔靈:「敢對主人出手,殺了也不會有事的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">年輕精靈:「不要吧!我看這樣做好了——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他話沒說完便舉起左手,在他前方斂聚了一棵大火球,足足有半個精靈那麼大,安潔兒驚嘆一聲,即使是靈術士的她,也辦不到這規模的一半!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">灰衣精靈紛紛後退,手忙腳亂大呼小叫——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「障壁,快!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼可能全都破咒?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我偷偷望著年輕精靈,他在微笑,從容得有些過分。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">紅髮小精靈與藍髮小魔靈居然都掩嘴竊笑,我肯定就是這位年輕精靈動的手腳,大概真的是破咒術,而且還是很厲害的程度,世界真的好大,竟有如此高手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">超大火球終於擊出,目標卻是旁邊的一棵獨立大樹,大樹被火球擊中後著火,被擊中處斷裂而倒了下來,好強大的威力。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">根本就是故意射歪的,年輕精靈又大喊著:「如果認為障壁擋得下,不妨來試試,前提是,你們的障壁能發動才行。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">帶頭灰衣精靈沈默了好一會,才說:「我們走!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我趕忙大叫:「我的木杖被他們拿走,拜託幫忙要回來!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為不知年輕精靈是敵是友,我不想說出『聖杖』洩漏身分。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂~聽到沒有,不是自己東西就得物歸原主,別逼我動手用搶的啊!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有幸得見里德修拉高手,在下認輸,心服口服!」說完,帶頭灰衣精靈看著手上的聖杖,高高舉起扔了過來,安潔兒立刻躍起把聖杖給接回來。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">灰衣精靈當然不願意,吃個軟釘就不再理會年輕精靈,招呼同伴上馬朝東急馳而去。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">突然間年輕精靈腰間發出短嗶聲,打斷我的詢問,「抱歉,有緊急通知,請稍等。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">詠月公主真的還是個小精靈,羈絆者的事大概不假,不過她們夫婦不知是什麼惡趣味,跑進廢棄礦坑玩耍?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我趕緊示意雛菊閉嘴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不不,不是不願意,我這一身難看,站在聖女旁邊說不過去。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">修對小艾公主徵詢意見,她點點頭,似乎有點不願意,大概是在意一身髒污。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雅蘭思娜:「還計算得很精細,抓準聖女避難路線,很了解侍衛隊的行動模式。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安流爾斯:「有這可能,兩天的漫長路程,竟然選在最後一段路才出手。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雅蘭思娜:「在城郊遇襲,里德修拉的立場很尷尬,即使護衛尚未交接,我們也是有口莫辯,難辭其咎。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真是那樣的話,結果會如何?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安流爾斯:「最糟的狀況就是引來戰爭,我們只是小城,擋不住修特羅里。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雅蘭思娜:「就算向海德加都或布羅倪求援,也是遠水救不了近火。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我現在才了解到事情的嚴重性,更加後悔沒把灰衣精靈抓起來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安流爾斯:「算了,聖女沒事,我們的操心就是多餘的,別放在心上——對了,小修打扮真特別,扮乞丐救聖女,吟遊精靈又要多一個故事囉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「剛好遇上也沒轍,從南門繞道東門,聖女還真會跑,我已經讓蕾菲亞娜回家拿替換衣服,穿這一身進城主官邸會挨罵吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安流爾斯:「呵~別擔心,現在就算什麼都不穿,城主也不會責怪的!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我已經覺得有很多奇怪視線在我身上。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雅蘭思娜笑道:「嗯!大部分都是少女的愛慕視線。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安流爾斯:「既然擔心,一開始就陪公主坐馬車不就得了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「坐在聖女對面,那才真的不自在。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">初見聖女時,她的美貌嚇了我一跳,精靈相貌都不差,但是聖女更上一層,連身材都沒得挑剔,蕾菲亞娜說她是世上最美麗的精靈,果然不是虛構。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雅蘭思娜:「能和聖女一起乘車是天大的幸事呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下敬謝不敏!現在只想趕快走到城主官邸,把這一身髒全給換掉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">今天實在太過折騰,尤其是艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜,莫名又燃起對抗意識。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">城主見到聖女,可說是戰戰競競,席禮亞夫人平時有禮拘謹,今日是更加周到,畢竟聖女是如同陛下的存在。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯私下對我比了個手勢——幹得好,我回以苦笑,揮手讓他別在意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不論是面對利德納陛下或聖女桃花,我的態度實在不能算是恭謹,並非任性耍帥,而是不習慣精靈禮節,在人間時,我被公認很有禮貌,但那種程度還差得遠,要不是有艾莉絲從旁協助,肯定會鬧笑話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜迅速可靠,當我們來到城主官邸,禮服已經備妥,借了房間,幫忙我和艾莉絲換上,總算趕在晚宴開始前恢復正常,艾莉絲也重現容光煥發,意外地,她們居然同時來索吻,我很機靈,明白她們的擔心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放心!我對聖女一點興趣都沒有。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女好美,好成熟。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——的確,只輸希緹麗亞一丁點而已。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「看到主人抱著聖女,連我都心動了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——這句話絕對不是讚美。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">總之,如無必要我打算避免與聖女說話或接觸,給予她倆安心也是我的責任。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">晚宴時,如我所料,聖女桃花艷驚四座,與宴者還包括查理德大主教、魯達夫與安流爾斯兩位靈劍士,野津靈劍士和安潔兒靈術士。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">靈劍士、靈術士在這場合只是陪襯,說話的大都是城主夫婦、聖女、查理德與艾莉絲,然而查理德參加過聖女登基儀式,早有一面之緣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妾身聽說小艾公主升格不久,但是談吐從容、氣質典雅,彷彿天生就是公主吶!修閣下有此羈絆者,眼光優秀。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女說得是,那正是小艾公主吸引在下目光的所在!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲點頭致謝笑瞇瞇,我的回答也讓她開心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這也是整個晚宴中,聖女唯一提及我的話題,我淡然客套地糊弄過去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">之後,聖女道謝相救之恩,阿德列斯道歉保護不周,查理德提點幾個知名觀光景點,席禮亞大致說明活動內容,當然也提到了梅竹郡府,畢竟那兒曾是她的最愛,還誇了幾句梅竹美景,連莎娜伊美小公主指定要住郡府的事都抖了出來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女對著阿德列斯說:「妾身斗膽請求,可否改變安排,將妾身居所移至梅竹郡府,城主夫人一言,妾身嚮往不已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——我就知道,席禮亞夫人妳果然說得太過。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津:「聖女大人~屬下未曾對郡府做過安全規畫。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——說的好,不習慣的地方別住啊!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有一箭射落飛龍的詠月公主,天底下沒有比那兒更安全的地方。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞似乎想亡羊補牢:「聖女明鑑,如今梅竹郡府已成私業,恐怕——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女笑道:「莎娜伊美公主不也住在那兒?與兩位公主相處,妾身也能感到自在。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——不,還有我啊?為什麼不考慮我?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">隱約感覺聖女很聰明,完全不提及我,也不給我主張的機會。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「郡府屋舍不大,只夠主婢二位同住,沒有護衛活動空間,而且內院是不給護衛、侍僕隨意進入的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞:「小艾公主說的沒錯,我和阿德列斯登門拜訪時,護衛也只能留在外頭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——其實是你們沒讓護衛進門,可不是我們阻止的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女意志強韌堅不放棄:「妾身願意完全依郡府規定行事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「今日盜匪以聖女大人為目標,極可能再次出現,我等若不能貼身護衛,唯恐救援不及。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「御龍閣下也與盜匪交過手,試問,若妳和野津聯手能抵禦幾個?修閣下可是一招就全部擊退。妾身並非什麼都沒想過,就任性地想住在郡府。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津和安潔兒面有難色,但是心知肚明,論實力,聖女說得一點都沒錯,我沒看過他們的咒術程度,但是安潔兒的劍法抵禦兩個灰衣精靈就已露困象。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女趁勢追擊:「敢問小艾公主,天底下誰的護衛最可靠?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然是小修身邊……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">發覺失言,艾莉絲趕緊摀上嘴,來不及了,理所當然的脫口而出,正中聖女下懷,查理德一旁苦笑著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女微笑不語,雖然我最好也不要說話,但是總覺得該說點什麼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請容小修發言,聖女大人的表定護衛,是安流爾斯閣下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只要城主裁決,在下完全不在意,但小艾公主所言甚是,修閣下確實更加可靠。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——誒?安流爾斯居然倒戈相向,可惡!虧我平時還教你空手奪刃的體術,怎麼就這樣報答我呀?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯蹙眉低頭沈思,他是我的最後一道防線。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「決定了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大家屏氣等候城主裁決。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如聖女所願,移居梅竹郡府。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">呃……壓倒駱駝的最後一根稻草,就是這種感覺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女綻放美麗的笑容:「妾身非常感謝!」掉個頭對著我說:「有勞修閣下,請多指教。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——我有種不妙的預感,平安祭一點都不平安!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">晚宴之後,阿德列斯叫上我和艾莉絲闢室密談,罕見地也叫上蕾菲亞娜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">剛坐定,席禮亞率先發話:「真是抱歉!不該提起梅竹郡府的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「聖女看似柔弱,沒想到意志卻很堅強。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「算上侍僕,內院一男四女,我可受不了啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">等到莎娜伊美來到,就是一男六女,我肯定會坐立難安。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哼~你休想逃走!」艾莉絲知道我在想什麼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯:「我知道小修的辛苦,當我求你了,拜託!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這口氣讓我大吃一驚:「呃……城主何出此言?在下承受不起。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲也有點被城主的低聲下氣嚇到。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞嘆了口氣:「兩國和平條約,對嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我原本也不想麻煩小艾和小修,明知道你們應付莎娜伊美夠辛苦的,但是啊——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯走到壁掛地圖旁邊,接著說:「你們看,南方原本有安達魯,與修特羅里的阿坎拉王都咫尺相對,以往勢均力敵相安無事,但是如今安達魯消失,南方首當其衝就是海德加都與里德修拉,海德加都兵力不差,但里德修拉只是小城,修特羅里有內部意見,希望把里德修拉納入修特羅里,如果訴諸武力,我們不但擋不住,海德加都與布羅倪的援軍也來不及。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「所以雙方簽定和平條約很重要,我明白了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞:「里德修拉靠修特羅里太近,實在很傷腦筋。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯:「安流爾斯偷偷給我一個眼神,我才晃然大悟,他平時不會推諉責任,然而今天卻贊成聖女由小修護衛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「莫非……是希望在下去攏絡聖女?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯:「別說攏絡啊!是交個朋友而已,我也要拜託小艾公主與蕾菲亞娜小姐大力幫忙。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">城主居然對蕾菲亞娜加上敬稱,足見非常重視這檔事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「要建立良好關係,又不能讓聖女認為我們刻意做作。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯:「本來打算由我和席禮亞在官邸裡進行遊說,但是小修今天救了聖女,得到她的信任,比起我們,小修完成任務的機會更大。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜一直沒說話,我認為她不會堅拒,但是也不會甘心應允。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾怎麼看?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「聖女很堅持,畢竟城主也已答應,小艾配合就是。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">席禮亞笑道:「小艾擔心聖女會搶走小修嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「搶走是不可能,但還是會擔心她和小修走太近。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們已經締結靈線,不會有這方面的困擾啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜突然蹦出一句:「就是這樣才危險!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「真的,彼此都不必在意靈線締結的問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——啥?這是?因為毋須修成正果,只要成為地下情人就可以的意思嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">阿德列斯笑道:「小修有天生特別的魅力,我很期待哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">總之,算是明白阿德列斯的目的,事關里德修拉安危也不容拒絕。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我——蕾菲亞娜,和小修、小艾回到梅竹郡府,原本是我們三個的小天地,今晚卻多了兩個不速之客,聖女桃花和侍僕雛菊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修、小艾正與聖女坐在後院飲茶聊天,因為聖女入住,整間郡府的夜光石晶全都打開,雖然十分美麗我卻沒有心思欣賞,我和雛菊站在後方待命。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女的雍容華貴令小艾和我相形失色,因為城主命令,小修不得不與聖女交好,這也讓我很不甘心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我有名字,蕾菲亞娜。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「叫小蕾不行嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不行,只有主人和夫人才可以叫我小蕾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「夫人?公主才是主人吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">內院完全沒有小艾的侍僕,一般來說並不合理。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不對,我是修閣下的女僕,公主算是我半個主人。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這……這種事隨便啦!妳是女僕為什麼會配劍?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不是只會掃地倒茶而已,寶劍是主人送的,他身上也有一把,兩把寶劍是一對。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們就是……咳~我們是主僕,用一對寶劍很正常,劍術也是主人教的,必要時得保護兩位主人。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不會吧?一個是詠月公主,一個是御龍劍士,居然靠女僕保護?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是這樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊不可置信地望著我,但是我沒空理會她,專心注視小修與聖女的互動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳們郡府安全實在鬆散,只有前後大門有守衛,裡頭完全沒有配置啊!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有主人和靈狐,根本沒有精靈能靠近內院,建議妳們撤了內院前後門那四個守衛,太多餘了,而且會防礙主人睡眠。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「他們又不吵鬧,咦——妳怎會知道我們偷偷放了守衛?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「早說過,沒有精靈躲得了主人的索敵,睡覺時也是一樣。」我驕傲地說著,梅琳的感官也很敏銳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嘖!怎麼可能睡覺也在用索敵?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我家主人厲害到不行,就是因為索敵太厲害,聖女洗澡時他還特別走到庭院去,太過接近身形會很清楚。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">其實是小艾押著小修進去,故意做給聖女看的,而且我早就把浴衣先給偷了出來。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我悻悻然離開走向廚房,經過雛菊身邊時——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳臉色不太好,沒事吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女太強大,我家主人有危險……」我小聲嘀咕著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「啥?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不理會雛菊,我邊走邊嘆,守護主人果然還是得靠我才行。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">總算一晚過去,尚且相安無事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聖女看起來很自然,適應良好,侍僕雛菊與蕾菲亞娜有點不對盤,不過沒什麼大問題,幸好聖女接受提議,撤去守在內院前後門的守衛,不然,整個晚上光是盯住那幾個守衛就夠累的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一早起床,艾莉絲還在熟睡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">昨晚她貼心的不得了,幾乎是用命令的口吻要求共浴,還是刻意在聖女面前說出口,我也不是不知道,她是故意宣示主權。而且浴室裡居然沒有準備浴衣,衣服都脫了也只能將就,雖然有點害羞,裸裎相見也不是不行,但最後控制不了的卻是艾莉絲,我笑了笑,以靈線交纏滿足她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我比較擔心的是蕾菲亞娜,睡前艾莉絲告訴我,因為她不像我們是一路交往過來的,會擔心被我冷落,擔心被別的精靈取代,即使是魔靈的外表,內心仍是誓約靈獸的性格,希望能被寵著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">是不安嗎?或許所謂的踏實感,並不是我自認不離不棄就足夠,必須對方也能切實感受到,蕾菲亞娜平時隱藏愛意已經夠辛苦的,如果我不能讓她安心就太過分。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我叫下屋頂上的梅琳,讓她陪著艾莉絲睡,再檢視索敵,確認聖女與侍僕都尚未起床。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">走出廳外,依例,蕾菲亞娜正等著晨練,她給我一個微笑,但勉強的笑容惹人憐愛,我下定了決心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「主人早安,劍呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「早安!我沒帶劍,靠妳保護可以嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然可以,那是我的——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不等說完,我牽起她的小手就走,來到小亭子裡,讓她背靠柱子,我用力攬住細腰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">發現我的意圖,蕾菲亞娜扭著身子驚慌說道:「不要,聖女也在!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她想推開卻不是認真的,我更加抱緊:「小蕾就是有這樣的魅力,被聖女看見我也不在乎。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她又想鑽出去,但是我也有法寶,抓住一對小貓耳,在她軟倒之前擁入懷中。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">親吻著好一會才鬆開手,「我想要小蕾,不行嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她眼角微泛著淚,卻是開心的表情:「明知道我捨不得拒絕你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「傻瓜,別哭!是我做過頭嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是,我很開心,因為小修說……想要小蕾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放輕鬆,把自己交給我好嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜點著頭閉上眼睛,我再次溫柔靠上,一起享受靈線交纏的歡愉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">結束之後,我們相擁好一會兒,才依依不捨地分開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我說想去外府走走散步,蕾菲亞娜幫我披上大衣,緊跟在我之後。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">走到竹林東道小徑時,她移位到我身邊,主動牽著手一起漫步,竹林東道是距離內院最遠的一段環府步道,兩側竹林夾道,走在裡頭不會被看見。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她的表情好多了,一早的是皮笑肉不笑,現在則是真心自在的笑容。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修過分!又是這樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我喜歡妳,可是,妳卻一直想逃走。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也喜歡小修,可是每次靈線交纏後,我一整天都會開心得控制不了表情。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那不是很好嗎?我喜歡看妳的笑臉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是……一直笑著好丟臉,太奇怪了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「看久了就不奇怪,我希望妳和小艾一樣,一直都是開開心心的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修果然很過分,用這種方式達成目的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我停下腳步,將蕾菲亞娜抱入懷中,這次她順從地主動靠上來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我說啊!別為了聖女瞎操心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我輕撫著她的藍髮,用鼻尖磳著她的前額,溫柔地解釋著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我承認她很美,就像是木櫃上的花盆一樣,賞心悅目,但是呢?一碰倒就會打破,我才不會做那種危險的事,能讓我如此安心抱著,就只有小蕾了!懂嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……還有小艾!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然,妳明知道我的心意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是聖女真的好美,小修又救過她,說不定……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖女像是太陽,曬著很舒服,太靠近就會曬傷,小蕾是草坪,我只要躺下就能睡個好覺,躺再久都沒關係,就像現在一樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我輕揉著她的小耳,她在我胸口磨蹭,反應跟梅琳一樣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">可愛的傻樣,我差點笑場,情不自禁再次親吻她!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我有個提議!」該切入正題了,但我沒打算放開擁抱。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是聖女的事嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!妳和小艾不想我太接近聖女,我也不想牽扯太深,但是妳也知道,和平條約非常重要,關係弄不好就難以順利完成。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我認為少女們都想太多,精靈講靈格,於情於理都不太可能會掠奪他人的羈絆者,以聖女的地位來說,靈格應該不差。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對不起!小蕾任性了,明知道還有重要的任務……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,我完全沒怪妳,妳會這樣我其實很開心,表示小蕾很在乎我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜紅著臉:「愛……愛侶,羈絆者,你可不能在小艾面前說哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是這樣,雖然目前關係有點奇怪,但我內心確實當妳也是愛侶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她沒說話,只是把頭埋得更深,不讓我看見。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以,能幫我嗎?我不想妳因為是女僕而幫我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然會幫,是為了小蕾的夫君。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「和聖女建立好關係,沒有妳,我自己一個是絕對辦不到的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「而且啊!妳們與聖女相處得好,我就不必過分投入,妳和小艾也比較安心,對吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修好狡猾,想利用我們。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也不想這樣,可是——算了,還是我自己去討好聖女,真不知道她會要求我做什麼?萬一我做太好,她要求帶我回去修特羅里怎麼辦啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「狡猾!狡猾!小修狡猾!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒有小蕾我真的不行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她嘟起嘴:「知道了啦!我會盡力的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「拜託了,妳想要什麼我都會答應。」百分百壞男人口吻,我越來越上手?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「吻我~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳可不准逃喲!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">突然又想使壞,我親吻的不是嘴唇,而是咬住小貓耳來回輕舔。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜又是身子一軟,雙瞳迷濛,身子不停顫抖。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">糟!不是抓住兩隻耳朵才會這樣嗎?似乎一不小心又發現另一個新開關。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">正考慮該如何澆熄她的慾火,但蕾菲亞娜撲上來就是深吻,我還沒準備好,她的靈線就已準備觸動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">箭在弦上,算了,暫且先滿足她的貪婪吧!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「才不是害怕,坑道昏暗,一般來說會小心翼翼吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「言之有理,吾姑且信之。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幾乎成了習慣,每當我意識遠離,希緹麗亞就會出現在夢境,似是幻夢又彷若實境。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞是遠古精靈王,在她的靈魂隨著精靈樹消逝之前,將自身記憶與精靈樹靈核寄宿於我體內,以此交換我才能活在精靈世界。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">上一回她還重現我在人間南宮家的客廳,穿著萍姐的禮服,最後還……別提了,想到就害羞,雖然明白她只是藉由蕾菲亞娜的印象,幫我解除情藥的影響,雖然非為情欲,但是吻上來的臉確實是希緹麗亞,偏偏這段記憶怎麼都不肯消失。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這一次,顯現的是迷宮般的坑道,引領我前行的希緹麗亞似乎有所目的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「還有,都說過不是害怕,妳不用一直牽著我吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誒?此乃汝之所好,吾有証據,藏於汝記憶之中。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳看到的肯定是與小艾有關。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「亦有君之靈龍。吾推定,汝好牽女子之手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">居然是這理由?對人類而言與妻子牽手同行很正常,精靈王卻認為是我的特殊啫好。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">頭一、兩次出現大概就是希緹麗亞的本性,如今語法未變語氣卻很年輕,逐漸敢摸我、會親吻我、牽著我走,一般精靈根本不會做這些事,也違背肌膚接觸的忌諱,我們未有瞹眛關係,但她的手法我都很熟悉,像是親吻的反應與蕾菲亞娜如出一轍,她的行為貌似參考與我經常相處的女性,這令我驚訝,這種存在真的只是一段記憶而已?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞的靈魂早已消逝,記憶卻留存在我的潛意識之中,但是,除非她親口說出來,否則我無從得知,就好像明明知道寶庫裡有寶物,卻不清楚有何寶物。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誤會啊!她們倆……比較特別,先別說這個,為什麼妳專找關於她們的記憶啊?。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「吾所尋與汝有好感亦有親吻之記憶,就是——」希緹麗亞閉上眼停頓一下,又說:「尚有……矮靈?君之所好不僅牽手,來者不拒,親吻也……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞指的矮靈是伯太部落的蘭,我被她用情藥設計,差一點就失身。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「精靈王妳給我等一下,如果要翻我的記憶就全部翻啊!蘭的親吻另有目的,我也不是來者不拒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞又是作狀思考:「汝之姐似乎也——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「停——那個是姐姐逗著玩的,我也沒有被她得逞啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">國中時期,萍姐老愛捉弄我,總是威脅要奪去我的初吻,多虧她的糾纏,我的合氣道進步神速,特別專精閃躲,但這可不能說出去……攸關一生清譽,絕對不能說。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「汝亦未拒吾千里之外,且貌似享受,莫非是虛情假意的?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">親吻怎麼會是虛情假意?不對,但我對希緹麗亞絕非濃情蜜意,這該怎麼回答啊?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「上次不算,妳忘了我是被情藥影響嗎?拜託,希緹麗亞也思考一下呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉!吾僅是一段記憶,無法判斷,僅憑過往之記憶,推敲汝當下之行為。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">居然會對一段記憶較真,我的腦袋大概也有點問題,不過——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「能否請教希緹麗亞大人,妳以前有羈絆者嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「未曾有過~難有匹配吾之羈絆者,精靈之生與死,盡是眼前飄掠而過。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">也沒錯,希緹麗亞萬年生命,締結靈線只能一次,若有羈絆精靈,相處肯定不長久。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對象不一定要精靈,其他精靈王也活很久,還有,妳不是也有誓約靈龍弗格列曼。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「精靈王稀少,各有所好難以湊合,弗格列曼早有羈絆者,吾僅誓約之主罷了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那麼,總有交往過的精靈吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「記憶之中,毫無所悉。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">哇!那意思就是,希緹麗亞與蕾菲亞娜一樣,活得再久感情仍是一片空白,這一點我嬴了,順帶一提,蕾菲亞娜是我的誓約靈龍少女。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……汝所思,似乎極為失禮之事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">別讀我的心啊——「呵~抱歉!希緹麗亞不必特別為我做什麼,我也不是一定要手牽著手,能見上妳一面,已經非常開心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這話不是奉承,她救了我幫了我,我確實由衷感激,希緹麗亞總算放開手,但仍是引我前行,我只知在坑道之中,卻不知身在何處,突然間想到,這是第一次我能夠自由行動,牽手也有明確的觸感,如果是夢境也太過真實。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">進入一間石室,牆邊似乎有張石床,中央有張石桌,桌上堆著不少古書,可惜我不識精靈古文,希緹麗亞伸手指我背後牆壁,我轉過身瞧去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「歐特丘茲?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">突然眼前一黑,一吃驚猛地回頭要尋找希緹麗亞,卻感覺到唇瓣被親吻著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嚇了一跳,慌忙用力推開,大喊:「希緹麗亞~妳怎又來吻我……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">眼前終於恢復明亮,羈絆者艾莉絲的大眼睛與我對視,彼此碰著鼻尖,距離好近!眼神裡似乎還有火藥味。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">誒?也就是說剛剛吻我的是……艾莉絲?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她抬起身稍為退開,原來我躺在郡府的大草坪上睡著了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">終於全部都想起來,今天天氣不錯,蕾菲亞娜提著餐盒,我帶著艾莉絲一起在郡府大草坪上早餐,梅琳懶洋洋趴著舒服,吃飽後我也學著躺下曬太陽,未料一放鬆,竟然就睡著了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">睡著不打緊,還夢到希緹麗亞,很奇怪,以前都是完全失去意識她才會出現。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是,就算我全都明白,情況仍然十分嚴峻。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">明明是春天卻冷如寒冬,艾莉絲翹嘴瞇眼:「你……剛剛叫了希緹麗亞對嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">呃!醒來之前的那一句話,居然不是在夢裡說的?糗了!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾,妳聽我解釋啦——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我把夢境發生的事全都說了一遍,特別是那間石室,我還記得自己叫了一聲歐特丘茲,卻完全記不起當時究竟看到什麼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">剛好就是艾莉絲趁睡偷吻我的那個時候!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「會以為偷吻我的是希緹麗亞,也是合情合理啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來是這樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">呼~緊張的氣氛總算緩和下來,吻著一個女孩,卻叫著另一個女孩的名字,不管怎麼說都很過分,等一會得好好逗她開心,我慶幸還能糊弄過去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是暖春乍現又遠去,凜冽北風再次襲來——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「麻煩主人解釋一下,『又來吻我』的那個『又』是什麼意思?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一字之差謬以千里!蕾菲亞娜妳不是我的誓約者嗎?怎麼可以陷誓約主人於不義呢?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">被一語點醒的艾莉絲也蹙眉大叫:「小修都在做些什麼夢啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">為了挽回少女們的信心,我只好抖出希緹麗亞用吻幫解情藥的事,而且希緹麗亞是利用蕾菲亞娜的記憶進行親吻,她的吻是為了鎮定精神抵抗藥性,與情欲完全無關。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修最近暪著我們的事越來越多。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「要不是小艾偷親主人,我們一輩子都發現不了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不只是蘭,連希緹麗亞都被……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不盯緊不行,主人太會撩動少女心了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「精靈王這對手太強大,怎麼拼呀?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「虛幻無蹤的對手,很難打倒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">越扯越離譜,我慌忙大叫:「快點停下妄想,那完全不是我自願的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我好擔心莎娜伊美小公主,她還以為郡府最安全。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「明明有主人的地方才是最危險的,要不再和城務廳溝通一下?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳們……」我又被無視。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">三月平安祭即將到來,王城指定里德修拉是今年主辦城市,克羅夫曼王子和莎娜伊美刁蠻小公主代表王室前來參加,各國代表也會齊聚慶祝,去年十月『精靈王祭典』曾見過一些國外賓客,當時我沒刻意交流,但是這一次,艾莉絲貴為『詠月公主』,交際應酬難免,每天晚上,蕾菲亞娜不但教我讀書,還幫忙複習各國賓客資料。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">莎娜伊美小公主以十五歲年紀,遠道而來里德修拉頗不尋常,精靈世界的長途旅行不比人間,馬車顛簸旅途也有風險,以艾莉絲的公主經驗,未成年幾乎不考慮遠行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">再加上莎娜伊美曾經當著艾莉絲的面,強硬指名我為『預定羈絆者』,雖說是被利用來推諉利德納陛下的安排,但是從此艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜就很提防她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩位少女醋勁異常,常常一發不可收拾,身為導火線兼火藥庫的我,實在無話可說,連希緹麗亞都誤認我是好色之人,前車之鑑,我趕緊轉移話題。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「修特羅里王國的賓客名單有點怪,什麼是聖女?我第一次聽到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「修特羅里與我們的王室制度不同,是由聖女治理。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一國之君居然親自參加平安祭?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">人類由元首參加國外重要活動很常見,但精靈世界的交通可沒那麼方便。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「所以才會特別指派安流爾斯閣下護衛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「像女王一樣嗎?叫『聖女』還挺奇怪的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「因為幾乎終身不締結靈線,所以才叫『聖女』。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「幾乎是什麼意思?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「規定任內不能締結羈絆,必須保持處女之身,雖說可以有伴侶,但聖女退休時幾乎都超過四百歲,沒有締結羈絆很難交往如此長久。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">交往數百年都只能是純純的愛,任誰都難以忍受。保持處女之身,等於接任之前也不能締結羈絆,依我的觀點,『聖女』也是『剩女』,我開始同情這種不合理的存在。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「四百多歲的精靈,想生下子嗣的確很困難,下一任怎麼辦?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜詳細解釋:「聖女是遴選的,從各個城市修道院推薦滿五十歲的處女精靈,由聖杖決定最適合的女性接任聖女。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聖杖是什麼東西?有自我意識能做選擇?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是哦!據說聖杖傳自精靈王,只有女性能用,能夠提昇咒術效果,尤其是療癒術,傳說還可以起死回生,可能是誇大了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「跟御龍寶劍一樣,都是精靈王的遺物。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我只是聽說而已,不知真假。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「與其說是統治者,更像是王國的象徵,實際上治理都是輔臣在負責,當然,聖女的理念仍是治國的準則。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「換作我才不當聖女,不能締結羈絆孤單一輩子有什麼好啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「聖女是全王國的靈魂,受到百姓尊崇,地位無可比擬,有爭取的價值。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「或許小修也能用聖杖,畢竟有受到精靈王的承認。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">翌日清晨,是巴蘭多師傅到郡府一同晨練的既定日子,不過,今天和巴蘭多對練的不是我,而是蕾菲亞娜,我和巴蘭多夫人坐在一旁石椅上觀戰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴蘭多夫人讚嘆說著,我也有同感,順帶一說,巴蘭多是雙劍士,蕾菲亞娜只用單劍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「十八歲就能如此用劍,巴蘭多肯定信心大失。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別說師傅,如果公平起見不用狂暴術和劍咒,我也很難嬴過蕾菲亞娜。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">為了旅途防身,蕾菲亞娜才習練劍術,即使不是正統,數百年經驗也不能小覻,巴蘭多當她是小姑娘就吃大虧了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這場對戰非我所安排,是巴蘭多見到蕾菲亞娜腰佩寶劍,提議想試試她的劍術,雖然我有阻止,但拗不過巴蘭多的請求,結果我早已預見。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廿分鐘過去,蕾菲亞娜氣定神閒:「主人~我去準備熱水和早餐,也請巴蘭多先生和夫人稍待片刻。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">等她離開後,巴蘭多氣喘呼呼一屁股坐在夫人身邊,對著我大叫:「這不得了,蕾菲亞娜好厲害,這身手絕對是靈劍士等級。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「陛下曾想封賜靈劍士,被她一口拒絕,她確實有靈劍士資格。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「唉~我小看她是女僕,本想指點一二,結果踢到大鐵板,比小修還難纏。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴蘭多夫人:「有如此本事卻完全沒有更上一層的企圖嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「她說只想當女僕,其他的完全沒興趣,我也不是沒有想法,不過,她拒絕得很爽快,真沒轍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴蘭多:「深藏不露,劍法和小修幾乎一模一樣,小修教得很好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這都要歸功師傅,嚴格說來,她算是你的徒孫。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴蘭多仰天長嘆:「徒弟我打不嬴,這下徒孫都打不過。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在小修家鄉,師傅打不嬴徒弟是常有的事,所謂好師傅,不是自身有多厲害,而是能夠把徒弟推向高峰,小修已經証明你就是個好師傅,往後還需要師傅繼續指點,這是肺腑之言。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴蘭多笑著:「你這樣說,我倒是寬心不少。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴蘭多夫人:「蕾菲亞娜非常崇拜小修,打從一開始就自薦女僕服侍左右,而且她看小修的眼神,明顯就不一樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這該怎麼解釋啊?自從和蕾菲亞娜靈線交纏後,她冷峻的表情逐漸瓦解,旁若無人越加親密的侍奉我很頭痛,但是又不能推開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我沒當是女僕使喚,而且她和小艾情同姐妹,日子快樂,笑容自然就多。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴蘭多從布包中取出兩個金屬製套筒交給我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這是小修要的東西,試試看。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「已經做好了嗎?謝謝!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">套筒長不到廿公分,我打開鎖扣,套在前手臂再扣合,這是以老城主的金屬護套為原型,但我訂製的更短更薄,也沒能包覆腕關節,構造簡單才能輕量化,內裡還貼上獸皮做為緩衝並兼顧舒適度。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「很合身,也非常輕,我很滿意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴蘭多:「這可是用『鍛銀』製作的,但還是合金比較耐用。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">鍛銀是精靈世界的一種昂貴金屬,質地又輕又硬,缺點這種材料難以與咒式結合。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不了,輕便最重要,我不想拖累劍法。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「考慮防護性,還有很多選擇哦!護肩、護胸,還有整件甲冑,防護更完全。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,我喜歡輕裝,穿得越重動作越不俐落,而且我不打仗,幾乎是任務為主。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修劍術夠悍的,還需要靠這個嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這次去新安達魯,發生一些事,用劍怕傷了對方,用護套保險點。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在邦加度拉與無賴詹姆士瞎攪和,當時我就不想拔劍傷害弱者,在新安達魯和卡拉貝爾決鬥,我甚至擔心剌傷對方,只用空手與雙劍拼鬥,搞得自己血跡斑斑,最後還惹得蕾菲亞娜不開心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">訂製護套的用意,就是用作簡便攻防武器,因為我主修合氣道,有了護套,別說是防禦,就算近身戰鬥也能用『鐵臂』傷敵。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修狂暴術了得,用這個往腦袋敲下去,跟被石頭砸到沒兩樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「往後小艾面對的場合更加複雜,有時候不方便亮劍,用這個可以作為彌補。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴蘭多猜對了,真不愧是師傅,我的確是打算如此使用,只是不便明講。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">除了市井苦力,大部分精靈都是穿著長袖,我也不例外,這短護套正好可以隱藏在袖口內裡,而且還是配合靈劍士武裝的設計,老城主用的金屬護套又大又重,防護性雖然很全面,卻不可能好好隱藏。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我轉向巴蘭多夫人:「小修還有件事請求幫忙。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好,只要我辦得到。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修想再次探索廢棄礦坑,可否商借坑道地圖?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">之前一起探索時,是由巴蘭多夫人繪製地圖,城務廳雖然也有的借,但是她保有的副本最新也最為詳盡。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我是蕾菲亞娜,通常每隔二到三天就會過來城務廳一趟,慣例會先看看有無最新消息,以免小修資訊落後,自從新安達魯回來之後,城務廳幾乎沒給小修任何任務,我向廳長確認過,原來城主有交代,小修就是小艾公主的專職全天候護衛,除非有必要,否則不會再做其他安排。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是小艾卻增加許多敦親睦鄰的工作,這部分城務廳會主動聯繫伯納登負責的郡府辦公室,不會特別知會我,這個程序是對的,畢竟,我的編制是小修的侍僕。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最近,即使小艾和小修沒空,我仍會每天來到城務廳,主要目標是圖書室,我想幫助小修找尋月光寶石、歐特丘茲,甚至是希緹麗亞的相關文獻,如果資料稍多,我會借出帶回郡府研讀,少的話就直接抄錄下來,幾天下來所獲不多,感覺有些氣餒。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她個子高大,銅錘並未隨身,畢竟在廳內攜帶不方便,我們曾經一同前往布羅倪城參加精靈王祭典,小艾在城郊受到襲擊時,雅蘭思娜獨自拖住獨眼精靈。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我注意到她戴著的項鍊,是小修和小艾在達達喀村買的,主人在送禮這方面很大方又很細心,但是任何禮物都比不上我腰間的御龍寶劍。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我、艾莉絲、蕾菲亞娜和梅琳,正在前往城外廢棄礦坑的路上,昨天蕾菲亞娜帶回的這張古地圖,畫的確實是坑道,雖有註明『里德拉』,卻沒有寫上確實地點,本以為是舊礦坑的一部分,但是比對巴蘭多夫人的坑道地圖抄本,卻完全沒有重合的區塊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「一千多年來變化很大,或許當時有其他礦坑,又或者是現在礦坑路線有改變,總之,暫且當作參考。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈語和魔靈語兩大語系,源自古精靈咒語和古魔靈咒語,即使各王國口音語法稍有不同,也能溝通無礙。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">還好,我們來到廢棄礦坑口,自動中斷這個傷腦筋的話題。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳的嗅覺敏銳,走在前頭警戒,蕾菲亞娜守最後面,艾莉絲跟在我後頭,其實有索敵不必太擔心,要注意的是密道暗門之類的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幾個月過去,坑道內似乎沒啥變化,最大的威脅就是會有惡獸霸佔這裡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">按照巴蘭多夫人繪製坑道地圖行進,上次我們直接進入第三層,這一回,目的是調查線索,每個石室都仔細檢查,大概是不會有特別古物,就算有也早被搬空,但是我希望至少能有文字線索。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在第一層就遇上四隻惡狼,兩大兩小,看起來是一家子,不需要蕾菲亞娜的龍氣,梅琳只是盯著,牠們就搖著尾巴乖乖離去,平時惡狼會主動攻擊,大概是顧慮到孩子而放棄進犯,我也不打算任意殺生。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一路搜索,我拿著夜光石晶,蕾菲亞娜則拿著太陽能手電筒,原本在我後頭的艾莉絲,已經靠在我身上,沒辦法,她本來就是小精靈,會害怕也很正常,我大方牽著小手,好讓她安心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳能嗅出特別的味道,蕾菲亞娜能透過空氣流動查覺異狀,我專心關注索敵,尤其是小地鼠,我認為地鼠體型小,最有利於進出暗門或密室,如果在非坑道處出現索敵反應,是密室的機率很高。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然自認是很棒的搜索隊伍,仍然是毫無所獲,巴蘭多夫人的坑道地圖連第三層都畫得一清二楚,顯然是我那次摔落懸崖後,她又來過數次,把第三層全給搜索完畢,或許是為了找到通路去救我吧!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">搜索到最後,我們來到地下第三層被老靈龍聲波震垮的坑道。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「另一邊也就只有龍穴,沒什麼特別的——也不能這麼說,當時很昏暗,當時我只忙著找出入口,至於有無刻畫文字就不曉得啦!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜把水壺遞給我和艾莉絲:「當是舊地重遊,至少確認這裡沒我們要的東西。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳看著堵塞的坑道:「哦~用吼的就能震垮坑道,好厲害,小蕾辦得到嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「梅琳真失禮,小蕾是女孩子啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「弗列格曼是希緹麗亞的同期誓約者,至少活了幾萬年,他的吼聲低沈有力如同鼓聲,小蕾的聲音比較高亢,像是在唱歌。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜笑道:「我是溫柔的靈龍少女。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「可惜了!希緹麗亞和弗列格曼都是住在里德修拉,應該知道哪裡有還有坑道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大概沒機會問弗列格曼,但是如果夢到希緹麗亞,我會先問這個。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真不方便,還以為小修隨時可以找精靈王在夢裡幽會。」一定要用『幽會』那個字眼嗎?我就當梅琳妳是在挑撥離間。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然艾莉絲發難了:「希緹麗亞長什麼樣子,和畫裡的有像嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">超塵脫俗,美麗絕倫、身姿曼妙、談吐溫柔——通通不能說,我意識到危機。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有什麼好比的,我潛意識中那個希緹麗亞只是記憶而已,連靈魂都不是。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——我死也不要比較,絕對會出事的,如果沒料錯,現世只有我一個知道希緹麗亞的長相,那等絕世之美,至今仍無精靈能出其右。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜和艾莉絲對視著,又開始自顧自地交談起來。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">受不了,我趕緊打斷她們的交談:「都給我停下,就說那只是希緹麗亞的記憶,她什麼時候會出現我也不知道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">確實,那的確只是一段記憶,她所選擇出現的形態,則與我的記憶息息相關,像是萍姐的穿著打扮,模擬蕾菲亞娜的反應,學習艾莉絲的相處模式等等。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「小修不可以亂撩希緹麗亞哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「絕對不會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「也不可以愛上精靈王哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我保証不會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">少女們終於滿意了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——希緹麗亞~很感謝妳救了我,也幫了我不少忙,但是——我也被妳整慘囉!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">修特羅里車隊正接近里德修拉,聖女桃花因為興奮,從車內移到車伕座。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「已經能看到里德修拉,估計再兩炷時間就到,聖女大人要回到馬車內嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等稍為接近些再回去,坐兩天車我悶壞了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說話的是駕車的副侍衛長安潔兒,她也是阿坎拉王都的靈術士,聖女桃花和侍女雛菊分別坐在她兩旁。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雛菊:「聖女大人難得能離開王都走動,應該很開心吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花笑道:「當然!王都雖然舒服,偶而,也要出來呼吸新鮮空氣才行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「真沒想到,主動提議聖女出訪的,竟然是赫立魯夫右相。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">實際治理修特羅里,是三位宰相,右相赫立魯夫負責外交軍事,左相普橋吉夫負責內政稅收,中相裘絲敏司理戒條法律。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!他總是和聖女大人唱反調。」雛菊毫不掩飾厭惡感。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雖然是私下,還是要有禮數,稱呼赫立魯夫卿才對。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉,雛菊知錯。」表面欠身行禮,卻是嘟嘴不滿。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花嘆了口氣:「即使想法不盡相同,我相信赫立魯夫卿也是為了王國著想,而且參加平安祭也算是我自身的願望。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒:「畢竟聖女身分不能隨意行走,這次是個機會,請放輕鬆好好享受。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「閣下說的對,難得出來就要好好玩。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是雛菊妳自個的願望吧?」桃花搖著頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哈~這想法也有一丁點啦!不過聖女大人國色天香,肯定會成為焦點。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「參加平安祭大都是各國名流,如果有中意的伴侶候選,不妨告訴屬下,安潔兒會為聖女大人安排的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這種事別說了,誰會真心願意一生陪伴不能締結羈絆的精靈呢?就算有,肯定也有某種目的,與其這樣,我不如只有安潔兒卿和雛菊陪伴更好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請放心,聖女大人如此想法,雛菊也不找伴侶,一生侍奉左右。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「說什麼傻話?我不允許,即使有羈絆者,妳還是能陪伴我一生啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「停車警戒!」前方野津的超大聲停車號令,蓋過了雛菊的說話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安潔兒示意雛菊先安靜,野津似乎在集中注意力觀察四周動態。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">桃花問道:「怎麼回事……地震?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為停下馬車,這才感受到地面傳來的微微震動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「稍安勿躁。」安潔兒閉上眼催動天聽術,使用這個咒術必須周遭保持安靜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">半分鐘過去,安潔兒大叫:「野津閣下,正前方有大群狂奔野牛群接近,數量至少三百頭以上,距離……一千五百步距,好快,來不及迴避了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">野津一聽馬上吩咐衛士們取出備用柴薪堆在前方,然後來到聖女身邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請聖女大人和雛菊立刻改乘單騎——安潔兒閣下也隨行貼身保護,妳該知道哪個方向安全。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「南邊有河會被逼到死角,在下暫且先往北走,安全之後再行會合。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「野津卿~萬一太危險,就放棄馬車和行李,絕對不可死守,這是命令。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「屬下謹遵聖令。」野津又叫上六名騎馬衛士跟隨安潔兒護衛。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">時間緊迫,八騎九個精靈,在安潔兒的帶領下,朝北先行避開鋒頭,這是侍衛隊的教戰守則,車隊太慢來不及避讓必須換乘。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">留下的野津馬上發號施令,將馬與馬車集中,點燃前方堆聚柴薪,並讓術士們集結張開障壁,馬車有不少禮品與行李,只好冒險防守,但是他不能讓聖女涉險。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">剛準備完畢,就有衛士大喊提醒:「五百步距!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">木盾術令前方火勢更加猛烈,野津盼著野牛群能夠繞道,「一般來說,會繞過去吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他自己也不太有信心,所以才會先行支開聖女。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">站在馬車頂監看的野津苦笑著,暗忖:這哪只三百啊!至少也有五百頭,看來還需要糾纏好一陣子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">同一時間,在里德修拉南城門外,資深俠士雅蘭思娜正在等候迎接聖女使節團。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">觀測衛士在綠湖森林發現聖女車隊,立刻快馬回城報告,使節團有四十餘名精靈,雅蘭思娜也準備了將近卅名衛士,這是她今天唯一的任務,只要把聖女接到城主官邸,就是萬事大吉,而且,靈劍士安流爾斯也在一邊,護衛不必由自己負責。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是,計畫跟不上變化,雅蘭思娜迎來的,是慌張的先遣衛士。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「雅蘭思娜君~大事不好了——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喘口氣好好講,什麼不好了?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「咳……野牛群……大約五百左右……朝著聖女車隊衝過去,屬下親眼所見。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雅蘭思娜大吃一驚:「怎麼會……現在車隊在大道上嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是的!野牛群突然狂奔,推算來不及閃避。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雅蘭思娜望向一旁的安流爾斯:「閣下……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先別慌,妳趕緊集結所有馬匹速去救援,優先確保聖女安全,我聯繫城務廳要求增援。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雅蘭思娜應了一聲,回到城門清點戰力,雖然有卅名衛士,但是行走速度太慢,必須優先找到馬匹。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安流爾斯也取出靈劍士黃金勳章,上面鑲有傳聲石晶,直通城務廳,除了要求騎兵衛士增援,也要求相應的醫護精靈與療癒術士,並責令城務廳以緊急事件通知城主。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">他心裡明白,雖然護衛尚未交接,責任不在己方,但畢竟是里德修拉城郊,萬一聖女遇難,那可是王國之間的大事件,平安祭活動姑且不論,弄不好兵戎相見都有可能。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雅蘭思娜只有找到十二匹馬。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">安流爾斯:「其中六匹馬乘坐兩名衛士,全速趕去救援,落隊的不必管。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">誓約靈狼提爾納魯奮勇當先,總計十二騎十八名精靈朝著車隊方向奔馳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">春天不是遷徏季節,早就調查過野牛群的動向,而且野牛群視精靈為威脅,明哲保身,平常不會主動接近大道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——大道上怎麼會有野牛群?出現時機未免太巧合了吧!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雅蘭思娜心中存疑,但事出緊急,她沒時間仔細思考。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這趟旅行有什麼感想嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我輕撫著梅琳的小狐耳,艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜也都喜歡這一招。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「以前梅琳我也常旅行,還以為壯闊的日出、舒心的落日就是享受生命,自從和你們一起,看見了親情、愛情,當然也包括爭鬥、仇恨,不管好壞都令我驚奇無比,有點羨慕你們,能夠有如此精彩的生活。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「精彩嗎?我那世界有句俚語,人——無法孤獨地活在世界上。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「並不是有伴就不孤獨,當初小蕾打動我下山的一句話,就是問我說『雖然你和雪狐一起生活,但還是會孤單吧?』,那時我還不曉得她是靈龍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我所知道的小蕾以前也很孤單,總是板著一張臉,直到她和小艾成了好朋友,才開始有了笑容。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「現在想想,小蕾那時候告訴我的,或許是她以前的生活寫照吶!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那個『歐特丘茲』即使與矮靈一起生活數十年,娶妻生子,他最後還是認為自己很孤單,彼此差異太大,就算同居也無法填補內心的寂寞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這一點我深有同感。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我很高興能有梅琳陪伴,不是因為締約靈獸,而是能談心的好朋友。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這該由我來說才對。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為蕾菲亞娜的起床,我暫時中斷交談。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當她即將來到小庭院,梅琳也發覺了,「我去陪小艾,醋勁超大的龍女,小修自己搞定吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我順勢道個謝,梅琳經過蕾菲亞娜身旁時,沒打招呼,頭低低就穿過去,然後加速鑽進艾莉絲的臥室裡,真沒辦法,因為如批逆鱗,靈龍少女正擺著臭臉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「主人早安!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾早~一起看日出?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——冰冷的聲音,一點都不意外,女僕給主人臉色看,主人還得殷勤陪笑溫柔化解,我真是遜斃啦!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她只是站在搖椅旁不動,也不說話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我還以為妳已經不會在意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我握住她的手,硬是拉扯一起坐下,別看這樣,我知道她其實很寵我也不會拒絕。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修昨天和梅琳睡,我不開心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我就知道是這麼一回事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳和小艾睡得很香,實在不忍心吵醒,就當作是我的體貼吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哼~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「消消氣,我又不是愛跟梅琳睡。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不管她是否願意,攬住細腰就是親吻,蕾菲亞娜想要反抗,我卻不肯放手,從親吻到深吻,最後來勁的卻是她,終於,醋勁超大的龍女露出一絲笑容。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小心翼翼地不讓靈線觸動,因為答應過下次靈線交纏必須很溫柔,我不想毀諾。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這樣似乎還不夠擺平誓約者,蕾菲亞娜轉個身跨坐在我大腿上,用膝蓋頂住椅子,彼此面對著面,我第一次見她如此大膽。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">搖椅晃盪著,我擔心她會掉下去而緊緊抱住。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修越來越強硬,真可怕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳一點都不像在害怕,而且這個姿勢……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不行嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~我知道妳在學誰啦!」與其說讓我抱著,更像是梅琳一般鑽進我懷裡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「耳朵。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">又來敲詐,我決定給雙倍,抓住她兩隻小貓耳就摸,但是——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯,等……兩隻……不行……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她身子一軟倒在我身上,在我耳邊嬌喘著,我嚇了一跳,趕緊用力扶住,不明所以。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修……好壞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我像平常一樣溫柔,妳不舒服嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她索性靠在我肩頭:「兩隻耳朵一起來真受不了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不會吧?妳怎麼跟小艾一樣。」艾莉絲一隻耳朵就已經受不了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然啊!龍角也是很敏感的地方。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「騙人,妳以前不曾這樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是……一隻耳朵還忍得住。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「萬一被別的精靈抓住,妳不就慘了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「才不,我只會生氣打飛對方,但是小修不一樣,我……我……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她眼神更加溼潤迷離,含情默默令我心動不已,似乎莫名就打開很不得了的開關。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳正陪著艾莉絲睡,我膽子一大,溫柔環抱蕾菲亞娜,試探性的親吻,她的靈線卻迅速觸動,好快,比艾莉絲還快,我也同時放鬆,一起享受靈線交纏的歡愉與感動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">天色漸明,卻無暇顧及日出美景,我索求著蕾菲亞娜的體溫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">靈線交纏還未完全結束,蕾菲亞娜輕輕推開我的擁抱。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修~你看看靈線。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">低頭一瞧,交纏的靈線很奇怪,我只有一條,蕾菲亞娜心口卻有兩條,三條交纏一起,我不曾見過,突發的好奇心趕跑了愛意,靈線光芒很快便消失了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「難怪靈線觸動這麼快,原來是有兩條,真意外小蕾是個急性子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「才不是,我喜歡慢慢享受,平時只會用上其中一條,現在是故意給小修看的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「為什麼會跑出兩條靈線?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「一條是誓約靈線,另一條是覊絆靈線,小修的只是誓約靈線。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這個意思是?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修很過分,霸佔我所有的靈線。」靈龍少女噘著嘴,眼角卻在得意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「什麼時候的事啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那次在伯太木寨的營帳裡,小修硬是把我的羈絆靈線給締結了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誒?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「只有誓約靈線無法滿足小修,還逼迫我交出羈絆靈線。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當時我並沒口頭要求,但是還記得是我不斷親吻蕾菲亞娜,還擔心她會退開而用力抱住,她有提醒可能會靈線交纏,我也想要試著停止,身體卻執意繼續下去,發生什麼事我不清楚,只知道最後很滿足的睡著,果然那是……</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這……我好像做了什麼壞事?」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">為何當時不說,一直等到今天才說?比起懺悔,我居然內心還有點高興。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原本打算等小艾離世,再把羈絆靈線交給小修,好讓你能全心對待小艾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">連這一點都考慮到,有點驚訝,「我有想過未來的狀況,我的感情不會因為小艾變老變醜而有減損,對我而言,小艾永遠無可取代,但是——我也不會忽略小蕾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修能這麼想就對了,我不能接受自己得到的比小艾還多,姑且她也算是我的主人。」蕾菲亞娜口吻轉為嚴肅:「小修也不必擔心會有其他靈龍會搶走小蕾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後一句話,我總算明白她的用心良苦,不禁苦笑:「真暪不住,原來我心裡想的早被妳發現了啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她點點頭,「既然奪走我兩條靈線,就請好好負責,別再東猜西想無謂操心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">昨天聽到蘭說,加爾蘭達到北方尋找古老靈龍,我心中有些動搖,畢竟靈龍與蕾菲亞娜才是同族,傳承子嗣應該比我這個人類更有機會,我甚至認為公靈龍比我更有魅力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">總算明白她讓我看到兩條靈線的原因。艾莉絲能夠分憂,蕾菲亞娜卻善於解勞,或許這就是歲月的差距。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我說妳啊~締結羈絆是妳情我願,說奪走就能奪走嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哼~誓約主人強硬觸動靈線,小蕾當然不能違背。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這說法好像我是壞主人,小蕾是受害的女僕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就是這樣,沒錯!」蕾菲亞娜微笑著繼續說:「不過我很開心,這表示小修真心喜歡小蕾,而不是一時衝動。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">締結羈絆必須要有共度一生的覺悟做前提,等於是心意的証明,也難怪她會開心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我如果說會反省,應該……也沒有用吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「連下次機會都沒了啦!小蕾什麼都不剩,小修全給狠心拿走了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">嘴裡抱怨,臉上卻是笑得開懷,我心中感謝,卻忍不住想捉弄。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「既然如此,只好壞到底。」我伸出雙手作勢要抓住她兩隻耳朵。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜啊地一聲,從我身上跳了出去:「不行,我要去準備早餐。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不知道她逃走去做什麼,但絕對不是做早餐,那根本是旅館的工作。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「在下早該這樣做,我和芙涅年紀漸大,想趁著還走得動,儘量扛起身為父親的責任,即使不被認同,丟了村長的位子也無所謂。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為芙涅太像母親乙莉,匹茲伯看著小女兒漸漸長大,外貌年齡程度也漸漸與自己差不多,害怕再繼續下去,芙涅就要比自己更老,猶如二度見到乙莉,內心不斷糾結難過,如今才慢慢釋懷,做出覺悟。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">遲早,我也必須面對如同匹茲伯一樣的心結,蕾菲亞娜的後代沒問題,但是我將會看到艾莉絲無數代的子嗣,在我面前出生、成長、年老、死去,並且周而復始。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「忽視如此重要的訊息是我太大意,巨石像不是地標,而是要給經過的『人類』看的,祭司希望人類看到訊息之後,能到古望大山的石屋找他,而且峽谷的巨石像,比起摩艾石像高大得多,大概是為了吸引注意力。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我早該聯想到摩艾石像,但是,就那一行鬼畫符的英文誤導了我,甚至一開始誤以為是矮靈的自畫像。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">又開始了,剛上路就開戰,我已經習慣了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">話說,馬車在下坡時得不斷使用剎車,又不能過分干涉馬兒,得花點時間習慣,精靈世界就是這樣,必須學習把不方便當成樂趣,不知道那位『祭司』先生學過了嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們接近中午才出發,回程打算先在阿爾姆村住個一晚,隔天再慢慢晃回梅竹郡府,順便一提,艾莉絲已經指定要住阿爾姆村旅館的二樓,就是我們第一次花錢共住的房間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我也依約好好說明史濟什麼碗糕先生留下的訊息,不管是精靈、靈龍或是靈狐,全都與我有相同想法,在我之前,確實有人類在精靈世界留下了足跡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲調侃我,要是當初真的和蘭生下孩子,那我就成了第二個『歐特丘茲』。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜則笑我,如果我留在矮靈部落,說不定會被尊為第二個『神』。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這次冒險最讓我遺憾的是,沒有太多月光石晶的訊息,那可是往來兩個世界的鑰匙啊!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">有了上一回的教訓,這次我們學聰明了,回到里德修拉之後,就由蕾菲亞娜駕車,以免『詠月公主』被平民發現。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">進入郡府大門,衛士親切招呼著:「歡迎公主、閣下回來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我注意到三樓觀景台的屋頂,又加蓋一間小瞭望台,高度似乎能夠俯視整個郡府,這大概是為了之後開放外府,所做的安全措施之一。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">比起離開時,外府的空蕩蕩已披上草皮,種植各種花草樹木,我看過設計圖,基本上有三分之二是梅樹或綠竹的組合,也符合『梅竹郡府』的稱號。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我能夠想像一旦入冬,肯定會有不少精靈來觀賞梅樹開花,尤其是北側的山坡花海,到時候,或許還得破例開放一段日子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我也很喜歡從大門到內院的竹林大道,大道可以走馬車,沿著大道旁還有專供步行的竹林西道,渡假之前,我有咐咐城務廳在東側也規劃一條類似的竹林步道,相信精靈們也會喜歡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">彷彿住在超大花園內的感覺,真的很棒,全是托了艾莉絲的福。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當晚,我們把伯納登找來共進晚餐,轉交塔契拉的親筆信,大致說明探險經歷,但是省略祭壇遺留文字與被蘭夜襲的糗事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">趁這個機會,我將『高山之家』小庭院裡看到的雙座搖椅,請伯納登照做一個打算擺在後院,事實上,伯納登在阿爾姆村的家就有一張類似的搖椅。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒想到,公主和小修在洪荒峽也能大展身手,這下威名遠播了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「伯納登,有機會,不妨也去彩虹瀑布玩玩,算是休息,也可以見見老朋友。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝謝小修,如果有空我再打算。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「放心吧!到時候你的工作就由我頂替,不會有問題的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「或許,找幾個表現不錯的衛士一起去也行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「多謝啦~連公主都這麼說了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「郡府有什麼變化嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大致上都已完工,小修畫的設計也做好了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「太好了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我特別畫了盪鞦韆、溜滑梯這兩個人類才有的遊樂設施,加上幾個小精靈的遊樂施設,一起建造在草坪區旁,未來讓市民能攜家帶眷前來休閒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「但是城主交代了一聲,做了點變化。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誒?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「外府東南挖了一個小湖,指名『詠月湖』,中央有涼亭,叫做『御龍亭』,城主大人存心要讓來玩的精靈,把『詠月公主』和『御龍劍士』詺記在心吶。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「好害羞的名字,城主真是故意的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">伯納登:「那個……城主原來想的名字是『小艾湖』和『小修亭』,我又擅自主張,硬是要求改名,抱歉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「哇~那不是更害羞!伯納登擅自主張的太好了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳:「某方面來說,這城主大人還挺調皮的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">伯納登:「估計整個外府完工,大概在三月初吧!城務廳有行文過來,讓梅竹郡府和三月的平安祭一同舉辦開幕儀式。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這個意思是……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「今年的平安祭,王城指定由里德修拉擴大舉辦,公主是重要角色之一,郡府也要漂漂亮亮迎接來自八方的賓客。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我猜大概是利德納陛下為了感謝我們而這麼做。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「難怪城務廳對外府的佈置這麼上心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「除了各國使節,王城確定指派克羅夫曼王子與莎娜伊美公主代表參加,王子會住城主官邸,但是小公主指定要住梅竹郡府。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「為什麼啊?好好城主官邸不住,偏偏來住我們家。」艾莉絲嘟嘴不滿。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲成為『詠月公主』,未來會有許參與王國各種活動的機會,甚至要代表魯迪因德與其他王國交流,身為羈絆者,我也難以置身事外,得早有覺悟才行。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「公主,小修早安,好久不見。」查理德依然健朗,卡多尼梅一旁點頭致意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們一起回禮,離開里德修拉的回來第一件事,都是拜訪查理德。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這次艾莉絲讓梅琳不必跟來,路上慕名而來的精靈太多,濃郁氣味會令靈狐不舒服。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——有點不對勁!卡多尼梅也跟著坐下,以往她都是站在一旁。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲笑道:「原來如此,我該改口了,查理德夫人~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈們能從禮儀之中看出彼此關係,艾莉絲非常熟悉,但我還是少根筋,我想起第一次見到查理德時,艾莉絲也是要求我坐在身邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">卡多尼梅紅著臉說:「請容我拒絕,稱呼我卡多尼梅……卡多尼梅夫人也可以啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那就恭喜卡多尼梅夫人,小修拜上。」我稍為捉弄,卡多尼梅臉更紅了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">使用丈夫的名字作抬頭是習俗,但是也有許多女性精靈,因為各種原因仍使用自己的名字,特別是同一個職場最常見,但是並沒有硬性規定,像是艾莉絲,以往叫小修夫人或小艾夫人她都不介意,但是未來大概只有小艾公主這個稱謂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「叔叔居然趁我們不在家,偷偷締結靈線。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這全要怪妳和小修,出雙入對不說,在街上牽著手一起走也不害騷,看得卡多尼梅心癢癢的,一直在逼我呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">卡多尼梅哼的一聲:「你可以拒絕啊!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼可能,那修道院就要倒了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我覺得早就該這麼做了,有錯的是叔叔!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「還是公主明白是非。」得到認同,卡多尼梅眉開眼笑。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「叫『公主』也錯了哦!私下該改口叫小艾,跟著叔叔用一樣的稱呼才對!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我覺得好像被設計了,卡多尼梅本來說去那兒渡假兩天的,沒想到……」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等!是誰抱上來就親的?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,是那兒晚上的氣氛……就是會忍不住啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德招架不住,艾莉絲掩嘴直笑,我帶過她到湖畔賞月,情不自禁兩度靈線交纏,真的非常浪漫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真是美好的回憶,我倒是很想知道正常的靈線締結是怎麼回事。」畢竟我和艾莉絲的例子太不正常。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「小修啊!締結靈線一般來說是很隱私的,偷看可是不行的哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我明白~我很對不起小艾,沒能給她留下個好回憶。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲笑著:「別在意,對我來說,不但非常美好,也是非常特別的回憶,用強吻來締結靈線還能成功,小修也算是厲害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「這就是註定,或許是精靈王的庇佑。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">卡多尼梅:「找一天過來我們家晚餐,那個火鍋大概熟悉了,也來嚐嚐我的手藝。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「也對,卡多尼梅和叔叔住在一起,可以辦家庭聚會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「畢竟是矮靈做的,精緻度稍差,但是獅子牙飾品算是少見的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">卡多尼梅:「不,彩虹瀑布是個很天然的地方,能有這樣的水準,已經是難能可貴,我們會好好珍惜的。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">人類結婚是大張旗鼓詔告天下,精靈則是私下締結,親朋好友由當事者肢體接觸或禮儀態度發現,只會低調道賀也不太會送禮,精靈的想法是——這是私事,大家都不許多嘴——人類可能會在婚禮中提出『反對』,但是精靈締結靈線之後,任何反對都來不及。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲示意讓我來說,我點點頭,把矮靈紛爭與歐特丘茲一事詳細說明,當然,蘭強吻那一段肯定要跳過,與蕾菲亞娜靈線交纏也不能說,至於歐特丘茲,我們當是純粹的考古研究,至於歐特丘茲留下的文字,我翻譯成精靈語做了交代。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「沒想到,你們只是在新安達魯看到一幅壁畫,就做了這麼深入的探討,挺有趣的,小修能看懂歐特丘茲的文字也很了不起。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那沒什麼,只是偏僻地方使用的文字,剛好能看懂罷了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「追究到千年前的異域文化真不容易,接下來,你們不會真的要跟加爾蘭達一樣,追到北方的巴德納哈吧?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「究竟是什麼理由,會讓小艾有這種念頭?那可是另一個王國,又是我們未知的地方。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嘖~我從沒見過妳有這樣的興趣,小修你也說說小艾啊!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾~這事已經沒有急迫性,再著急,也不見得能找到歐特丘茲的『那個時代』。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">讓她冒險我於心不忍,暗示著就算找到回家的方法,也不見得能回到萍姐的時代。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我摸摸她的頭:「妳想的我都知道,不必因為我喜歡考古,就想四處亂跑,就算要去,也要做好許多準備,時間還長,不必急於一時,我可是很喜歡里德修拉哦!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「其實啊!我對另外一個訊息比較感興趣,歐特丘茲只是那個種族的代名詞,里德修拉似乎也曾存在『歐特丘茲』,只是關於這點完全沒有頭緒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這是希緹麗亞給我的訊息,我當作是在祭壇一起找到的,以免招疑。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">卡多尼梅:「嗯!千年以前的歷史嗎?要不要試試找找藏書?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">卡多尼梅:「小修說的沒錯!修道院藏書都是精靈歷史與普通知識,如果涉及到罕見種族,因為很少被查閱,便整理送到城務廳的圖書室收藏,放置地圖是情報科,如果到古史科,或許會有你們想要的資料。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">查理德:「那又不是秘密,只是少有精靈會看才放在那裡,灰塵可能不少。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">被叔叔出賣的艾莉絲嘟著嘴,我和卡多尼梅則是笑得合不攏嘴。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">回到郡府之後的日常,總算文明許多,溫泉再舒服,也沒自家的大浴池輕鬆。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們三個一起泡在浴池中,我還處於被『挾持』的狀態。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">千里香是城務廳僱請的三個清掃僕從之一,只有白天會在內院,另外兩個僕從負責整理外府,未得允許不會擅入內院,公主郡府的整理是由城務廳接管,指揮的則是伯納登,現在蕾菲亞娜輕鬆多了,比以往更有時間成為『貼身女僕』。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我就覺得奇怪,這兩姐妹通常一起洗澡總要好一陣子,今天卻早早來通知輪到我入浴,沒能警覺是我自己的疏忽,來通知的蕾菲亞娜太鎮定,換作艾莉絲肯定會露出馬腳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「罷了~有妳們陪我也很開心啦!先說了,可別像在伯太溫泉亂脫浴衣。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">那個今天是什麼意思?我得叫伯納登讓浴室加個鎖才行。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘆了一口氣:「不,我喜歡有妳們陪著,但是光著身子太誘惑,我受不了就會想靈線交纏,如果只有一個在就算了,兩個都在實在太害羞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">從她們倆身上我學習到,對精靈而言,語言與親吻誘發情慾最有效,裸裎相見只會害羞,煽情程度還好,但身為人類的我卻不一樣,視覺與觸覺感受最為刺激。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜慌張叫道:「這……怎麼會……」看到艾莉絲壞笑,她嘟起嘴指著我說:「都是主人逼我就範,抓住就不放……最近小修好壞。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「全都是我的錯!」我悠哉地乾脆承認,只要同時抓住蕾菲亞娜兩隻耳朵,別說想逃,她立刻身子癱軟,手到擒來。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">被坑了,我就知道是這麼回事,若要人不知,除非己莫為。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不擔心艾莉絲會吃醋,也不必安撫,因為前一天晚上,擔心我冷落蕾菲亞娜,威脅我今天非得去靈線交纏的凶手,就是她。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看來日子一點都不會無聊!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">環府步道上,每隔一段路便有一個夜光石晶,在夜間除了市集,通常精靈少有活動,因此原本並沒有照明設計,這是為了迎接平安祭,讓賓客在夜間也能到此休息,而且小公主莎娜伊美指定住在梅竹郡府,也是城務廳主動加碼的原因之一。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不過,這可不容易操作,入夜之前,得派員沿路一一點亮,熄燈之前,又得派員沿路一一關閉,平時沒有必要,石晶不會點亮,畢竟太過浪費,我的鷹眼不強,識別路況還勉強可以,艾莉絲鷹眼超強沒問題,而蕾菲亞娜天生的靈龍夜視,更不在話下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為今天是試行點燈,沿路只有我和艾莉絲,亮度足以輕鬆行走,不需要動用鷹眼術。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我還以為小修會急著想去巴德納哈。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是想去,但是沒那麼急,就算找到方法,無法控制回去的時代也沒用,我可不想回到一百年前,那時候連我父母都尚未出世。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我停下腳步,抱住艾莉絲:「別想太多,就當作有命運這回事,這一年來,突然房間出現一個黑漆漆的小精靈,突然就看到精靈世界的日出,突然眼睛一張開就看到靈龍,突然又變成靈劍士,突然又知道我有了妻子,突然又發現自己居然有誓約靈龍,突然浴室就多了兩位美少女,太多太多的意外,我彷彿被牽著走一樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲笑了:「呵~突然發現和誓約者靈線交纏。如我所想,不管是我或是小蕾,小修都能順利靈線交纏。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈之所以很專情,就是擔心靈線交纏會失敗,我似乎沒有這種困擾,但仍必須心無旁騖,我若心中念及蕾菲亞娜,便無法與艾莉絲靈線交纏,反之亦然。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「說到小蕾,妳明知她是誓約靈龍也不告訴我。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我是想說嘛!是小蕾希望保守秘密。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「也罷,雖然大出意料之外,結果來說還算不錯。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲用力抱著我:「小修會比較我和小蕾嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嘆了口氣,拉著她坐在湖邊的石椅上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我說啊!既然會擔心,當初就別撮合我和小蕾啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我想報答她救了你,雖然有點不甘心,最後能陪你走完一生,也只有小蕾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「告訴我,小艾擔心的究竟是什麼?要老實說。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「擔心被小修冷落,小修樣子不會變,小蕾也不會變,我卻會變老變醜。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這也是我以前擔心的問題哦!」我摸摸艾莉絲的小耳朵:「我的答案一直都是不離不棄,只不過現在多了一個小蕾,情況有點複雜。但是,匹茲伯給了我答案,為了伴侶必須勇敢面對各種困境,朵麗與芙涅也給了我信心,容貌再變,種族不同,感情卻可以永遠一樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲沒說話,我進入重點:「無論是以前、現在或是未來,我心裡最重要的永遠都是小艾,這句話我也對小蕾說了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「居然……你不擔心小蕾會失落嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這是事實,小蕾也很認同,如果非要說個順序,妳和小蕾都比我自己更加重要。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲似乎很開心,我繼續說:「即使是小艾最重要,但我希望給妳和小蕾一樣多的愛,或許這樣對妳不公平,明明是小艾先締結靈線,但我想這樣做是有原因的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲歪著頭:「有原因?能告訴我嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「因為我很笨,很難控制做多做少,但如果是一樣,就簡單了,即使小艾變老,我也不會背離這個原則,給小蕾多少愛,就給小艾多少愛,反過來也是一樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這個原則聽起來,在我年老時特別有利。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~我其實不太想比較,和小蕾一起的時候,我會多給她一些,和小艾一起的時候,我就多給妳一些,如果都在一起時,我會傷腦筋,常常不知道該怎麼辦。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯!我明白了,小修不必傷腦筋,交給我和小蕾決定就行啦!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">姐妹淘愛上同一個男人,通常都不會有好下場,因為看得到的利益就只有同一個男人。然而,沒有羈絆者的退讓,蕾菲亞娜難以進入我的情感世界,沒有誓約者的幫助,艾莉絲也無法和我共度一生,加上靈線羈絆,更是難捨難分。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~我是擔心你沒有好好對待小蕾嘛!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我對她夠好的啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「胡說~回來之後,要不是我逼你,你都沒與小蕾靈線交纏。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誤會了,那是小蕾自己希望的,今早差點就被她逃了,我告訴小蕾,在妳沒醒的時候,我是屬於小蕾的,她總算才肯安分。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真是的,她根本是過於在意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一陣溫煦的微風吹過,還帶來了誓約者的訊息:【小修加油!】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我決定,不管怎麼吵鬧,無論是誰偷看,全都丟到九霄雲外,給予蕾菲亞娜的愛,也同樣會給予艾莉絲,一絲不減。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先不理會她,現在我心裡頭全都是小艾,妳要是不依,我就……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「就什麼?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小精靈妳太多話囉!我二話不說,抱住就吻,再也不給推開逃走的機會。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如果說催動靈線交纏的速度,代表彼此愛意的程度,那麼——就讓我來証明給妳看!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見時機成熟,艾莉絲說道:「霸木~伯太矮靈是我們帶來的,沒一起吃很奇怪吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「伯太,壞矮靈,不給吃。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜一旁冷語:「不給東西吃,讓伯太沒力氣吵架,原來巴太好卑鄙。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是!巴太,講道理,不像伯太。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「別生氣~你們的烤肉好吃極了,應該讓伯太知道巴太有多厲害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木撓著頭:「嗯……有道理,巴太好吃,伯太難吃,不用吵,自動離開。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗當作這句話是允許,笑著對亞述說:「你們幾個,霸木准一起吃囉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她特別把最好吃的幾盤烤肉放在伯太矮靈面前,亞述哼的一聲別過頭,硬是不予領情,另外三個可沒那個志氣,拿起烤肉就啃。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原本只為填飽肚子小口小口吃,但烤肉越吃越好吃,了結這盤馬上又吃那盤,伯太矮靈臉上都是滿足的神情。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">伯太較少狩獵,陸獸肉品就少,料理方式也不太在意,突然吃到巴太的各種美味獸肉料理,味蕾感官大大受到開發。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">三個伯太族員討論這個稱讚那個,還吃得嘖嘖有聲,亞述動搖著,肯定也餓了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「亞述要是不吃,等會說不出話,談不了正事哦!」我明白激將法比較管用。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒辦法,談事情,要力氣,吃一些些。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見族長想吃,伯太族員馬上把最好吃的,全給端到亞述面前。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">終於,亞述的矜持也被巴太烤肉攻陷,漸漸越吃越多。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木見狀大笑:「巴太好吃,伯太不行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲跟說:「烤肉很棒吧?伯太矮靈乾脆都聽霸木的,以後都有好吃的烤肉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">發現自己失態,亞述縮小動作,但還是低著頭一口接一口吃著烤肉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木:「很好,以後,伯太吃烤肉,不用吃魚。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述:「拒絕,魚好吃,比肉好吃。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我立刻幫忙反駁:「沒錯,伯太烤魚比巴太的烤肉更好吃,亞述你認為呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述:「對!小修懂,伯太烤魚,更美味!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木:「魚?魚難吃,烤肉最棒!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">旁邊幾個矮靈都點頭支持各自族長的言論。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我指著大布袋提醒說:「不是有帶魚嗎?比看看,伯太絕對不會輸。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒錯!烤魚有帶,魚干也有,煮魚湯,美味!」,但亞述一臉為難對我說:「要借鍋子,煮魚湯……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來朵麗建議攜帶鮮魚是為了當場料理。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲向霸木說:「我覺得烤肉比較好吃,可是伯太不肯乾脆認輸,不如借他們鍋子碗盤,比一比讓伯太心服口服。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">見艾莉絲相挺,霸木感激無比,馬上吩咐族員準備炊具。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在亞述的交代下,伯太矮靈們開始料理,他們帶來的都是最上等食材,賭上尊嚴,亞述還親自下場幫忙,不斷嚐試味道加以調整,氣氛比打仗更緊張。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">魚是重口味食材,烤魚、魚干再烘培、鮮魚湯的味道,充斥整個巴太木寨,完全掩蓋掉烤肉料理,為了部落名聲,伯太矮靈們也是卯盡全力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">漸漸地,撲鼻香味吸引了巴太矮靈們,好奇地引頸觀看,朵麗說過巴太以狩獵為主,專精獸肉料理,抓魚是偶而為之,純粹只為桌邊加菜,魚料理技術當然是乏善可陳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述居然做出我在伯太都沒吃過的特色料理,其中一道酥脆魚,入口即化,是我這輩子第一次吃到的美味,好感動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">伯太矮靈們把各式魚料理端上餐桌,光是味道,巴太矮靈們就已經垂涎三尺,不斷互相擠靠過來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我特別找幾個巴太小矮靈先試吃,小朋友最不會掩飾,果然——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哇……」「好吃!」「我喜歡這個!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小朋友吃相讓其他矮靈都受不了,亞述看得笑哈哈,「都可以吃,我們,帶很多!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">稍年長的矮靈們只是巴望著,因為族長沒說話,不敢放肆動手。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木左右為難,不給吃說不過去,給吃又好似向對方低頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我強勢幫推一把:「霸木族長不反對,大家一起吃看看,伯太也吃了不少巴太烤肉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我取了一些給芙涅,她吃了幾口,點點頭,又繼續吃下去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">其他巴太矮靈看到芙涅吃了,大了膽子紛紛擠前品嚐。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">讚美聲此起彼落,全在預料之中,到最後擔心吃不到,還用搶的,沒幾下整桌數十大盤的魚料理全被掃空。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗早把魚料理總匯一大盤,端到霸木眼前:「幸好我動作快,不然你沒得吃啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">注視著那一盤,霸木起初不願動手,但是桌上的已被清空,再不吃就沒了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒幾分鐘,霸木也被烤魚攻陷,光看吃的模樣就知道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述開心大笑:「桌子空空,証明,烤魚好吃!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木也指著伯太矮靈前的空盤反嗆:「你們吃光,証明,烤肉好吃。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗:「伯太喜歡烤肉,巴太喜歡烤魚,還真是稀奇。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲突然插嘴:「小修~該叫蘭出來吃東西,也順便看看朗也。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我一邊應允,一邊鼓動族長們同行,帶上艾莉絲、蕾菲亞娜、朵麗一起進入朗也休息的山洞,他住第一層,不需要爬樓梯。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲走在最前面,在洞口說:「兩位族—長—先請進。」,叫得好大聲,根本是在提醒蘭和朗也。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木,亞述一走進山洞就傻眼,因為蘭和朗也擁抱相吻,當然,我們也看到了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朗也和蘭趕緊分開,不,並不是趕緊,有時間差,故意讓我們全都清楚看到。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述吃驚卻不敢多說什麼,因為蘭是屬於我的,他沒權利干涉。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">緊張程度隨著室溫漸漸昇高,又是艾莉絲偷偷用了火焰術,她真聰明。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">可愛靈狐立刻化身猙獰惡獸,瞋目裂眥守在洞口,亞述和霸木想跑也不敢跑。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我突然想到,朵麗也算外人,是不是應該一起恐嚇殺掉?算了,矮靈沒那麼聰明,計畫稍有破綻也無所謂。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「霸木和亞述合好,不能只是嘴巴說說而已,蘭被親過又不能抱回家,乾脆小修就說把蘭送給朗也當妻子,做為兩族合好的禮物,這樣,誰也不用殺掉,小修還是個大方的好精靈。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——矮靈女性可以拿來當禮送?虧朵麗知道這種事,還有,把愛侶送出去合理嗎?幸虧矮靈不怎麼聰明,換作我早就看出破綻了。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當晚,我們都參加朗也和蘭的成家儀式,唯一有損失的就只有我,丟了『愛侶』又帶了『綠帽』,不過,皆大歡喜就好。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">矮靈似乎知道我喜歡烤腿,還送來一隻火烤赤眼獅腿。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——這算是違反野生動物保護法吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">暫且當是烤羊腿,不過實在是太大隻,我請家眷們一起享用,我還發現蕾菲亞娜和梅琳特別愛好這一味,莫非是靈獸的關係?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後,我對天空施展龍炎火海陣,蕾菲亞娜發動風咒,幫忙把火海吹得高高的,暫且充當放煙火,矮靈們看得非常興奮。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">針對兩個部落的問題,我向霸木、亞述提出一個點子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最好的漁場在巴太後方的古望西川,霸木讓伯太在木寨內築個暫居用地穴,捕完魚就能在巴太安全休息一晚,隔天再輕鬆回家,但是要取出部分漁獲加以料理,送給巴太當作回禮。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最好的獵場在伯太附近,亞述同意巴太在木寨內小坡堆土做小山洞,狩獵後就在伯太休息,隔天返回巴太,相對的,也要提供一部分獵物,料理後提供給伯太共享。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這個類似『使用者付費』的觀念,使得雙方各取所需,皆大歡喜。如此一來,不管是巴太或是伯太,都不必擔心踏在對方的地盤上受到攻擊,活動範圍大大增加。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述和霸木結為親家,當晚住在木寨內。我們並未留宿,回到朵麗原先住的山洞,芙涅也一起跟來,真是一對好姐妹,我仔細瞧,長相真有幾分神似,血緣在不同種族間還是有遺傳下來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗和芙涅早早就去睡,營火旁剩我們四個一家親。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「矮靈容易糊弄,知道他們要什麼,就很容易解決,小艾隨機應變才是大功臣。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小精靈怎麼可能懂得抓姦在床的戲碼,多半是電視看多了被教壞了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「霸木同意一起去,帶著擅長的獸肉料理當禮物,兩個部落應該沒問題。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲笑著:「小修覺得可惜嗎?差點就能把蘭帶回家。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真那樣做,以後我休想有好日子過。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">連話都被改了,「我才沒那麼花心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳:「有小艾和小蕾,小修已經算是花心的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「不到三妻,不算花心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「別胡說,小蕾只是女僕,小修還是很專情的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——基本上,妳們都在胡扯,我可是明白的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「又忘了問蘭是怎麼把我弄到胡亂發情,我實在不方便問,你們幫個忙吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「問清楚也好,免得小修又被算計。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「小修那天明明有力氣,為什麼推不開蘭?你其實有想繼續吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我如果真的想繼續,也犯不著叫妳名字讓妳趕來救我,蘭大概有算好時間,在我無法反抗的時候動手。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我當然知道原因,但是絕不能說,要是說出蘭強吻我,還用舌尖讓我無力,少女們會做何反應我可不敢想像,得把這個秘密帶進墳墓。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜又開始瞎鬧起來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我相信小修,如果想生孩子,只能找小蕾哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾~~~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不管是與精靈、靈龍,甚至是與矮靈的孩子,對我而言都是個問題,人類真能夠在這個世界擁有子嗣嗎?那會是正常的孩子嗎?芙涅看起來完全是個矮靈,卻仍然被視為怪物,這令我對未來產生疑惑與懼意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這晚,我睡得很不錯,有種成就一件大善事的美好感覺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一早,到木寨與霸木、亞述會合,除了朗也,霸木還帶上五位矮靈,準備好引以為傲的獸肉料理,還有一些木製品當作結親回禮。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木與亞述居然並肩而行,聊得挺開心的,我也稍為寬心,蘭走在我們後頭,朗也一旁陪著,小修版的羅密歐與茱麗葉,能歡喜收場真好,我覺得自己扮演的角色,好像是打算搶走茱麗葉的帕里斯伯爵。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">比起昨天的左思右想,我今天算是好好欣賞了峽谷風情,如同非洲一般的景象,對矮靈而言是個天堂,但願兩個部落都能好好保護屬於他們自己的樂園。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">伯太部落最開心的莫過於蘭的母親亞麗珊,女兒能留在峽谷又有好歸宿,她一直在道謝,頻繁到我都有點害怕。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這一晚我們再次在伯太木寨內搭營,霸木有點吃味,直對艾莉絲說下次也要我們住在巴太木寨,朵麗很開心,或許她以後能成為矮靈們的貴賓,進到峽谷能住在木寨,安全上比較有保障。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">晚會再次重現昨晚的儀式,亞述宣布了好幾個與巴太的合作事項,原來他和霸木在路上談妥了,包括彼此交流的活動,透過朗也與蘭結為夫婦,以後兩族也能大方通婚,不必躲躲藏藏。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">相隔一晚,接下來就是重頭戲,也是我之所以來到峽谷的目的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木和五位族員一早與亞述道別後,先行歸還巴太部落,蘭與朗也實踐諾言,帶領我們進入古望大山,拜訪歐特丘茲的『祭壇』。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朗也和梅琳領頭,之後是艾莉絲、蘭和蕾菲亞娜,我和朵麗殿後。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我可不是故意和朵麗走在一塊,也絕對沒有瞹眛,而是被羈絆者和女僕排擠的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我眼尖瞄到蘭拿了一包東西給蕾菲亞娜,連艾莉絲都跟著道謝,似乎還聽到蘭提到某個陌生名字。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗:「那是什麼啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好像說是……普魯草吧!泡溫泉時加到池裡用的,真搞不懂,小艾和小蕾居然會喜歡香草浴。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我聽說過普魯草粉,那不是植物,是一種很稀有的火山熔岩礦石,亞述說是伯太秘藏,不給外族也不肯和我交易,沒想到蘭居然送給你們。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">熔岩礦石?為什麼名子會叫『草』?我無法理解矮靈取名的藝術。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「她們三個今天特別要好,一直在聊天。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我很在意那普魯草粉的功效,矮靈們都不肯明說。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「所以才叫秘藏,蘭倒是有說過,好像是……恢復體力,女生漂亮,男生強壯,總之講得很籠統,沒什麼大不了的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等——小修剛說什麼?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「恢復體力。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是這個。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「女生漂亮——妳有興趣啊?畢竟朵麗也是女孩麻,等會我讓小蕾分點給妳。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,不,再下一句。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「男生強壯啦!我是沒什麼感覺,泡完溫泉還是一樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嘖~小修知道矮靈講的男生強壯什麼意思嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呃?會有什麼意思?」我比了比臂肌,這幾個月來,更結實了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「矮靈說男生強壯,是指身體興奮,慾望衝腦,交合容易受孕的意思。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">怪不得——我讓她倆去問蘭我變怪異的原因,卻一直沒有回報,而且還帶上那麼一大包回家,想到以後可能的遭遇,不禁背上一涼……</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗顯然也明白我的擔心,笑著:「先不提羈絆者,連你家女僕也在覬覦主人。不過……沒有締結靈線,交合會有用嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——就是有啊!已經締結了呀!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只是不能說出口,我的羈絆者和誓約者肯定又在合謀。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">擔心歸擔心,終於來到歐特丘茲祭壇,原本以為會在古望大山高處,沒想到,連山腰都不算,從山腳叉路起算,不到一個半小時路程。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原本上山應該會越走越熱,實際上卻越走越有涼意,不,應該說這才是初春的氣溫,薄霧繚繞阻礙了視線,難以辨認方向,氣氛有點陰森,難怪會有死靈傳說,不知不覺,艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜都畏縮靠在我身邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小精靈就算了,為什麼連靈龍都會怕?真搞不懂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">中途只有休息一次,我趁機問道:「都是朗也帶路,這不是伯太管理的地方嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「和蘭約定,偷偷見面,洪荒古靈,矮靈害怕,不敢靠近。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來如此!矮靈害怕忌諱之地,因此,對擔心被撞見的小倆口而言,是最佳的約會地點,朗也之所以熟悉,應該是蘭帶他來的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭對歐特丘茲的理解得自父親亞述,算是最充分的,但仍舊一堆謎團,我好奇的是矮靈自稱有歐特丘茲的後代,從芙涅的例子研判,混血後代以母體為基礎,或許能再加上父方的特殊能力,但是歐特丘茲的能力是什麼?年代久遠,或許早已稀釋消失。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來到祭壇,我晃然大悟,公主和女僕也都笑了,那跟艾莉絲畫的神殿完全就是兩碼事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">已是更加破舊的『祭壇』,僅剩三根石柱挺立,其中一根只剩一半不到,壁畫中的『神殿』,除了八根石柱還有屋頂,只是現在已經垮了,連同屋頂殘垣和石柱破塊,都被清除到祭壇外邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朗也和蘭恭敬伏跪在祭壇入口,約略一分鐘左右起身,拿起一旁的清掃工具,進入祭壇打掃整理,這就是所謂的『拜祭』,與人類『掃墓』習俗頗為類似,但是沒有上香也沒有供品。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述每年會帶幾位矮靈前來祭拜一次,但是今年他委託朗也和蘭,帶我們參觀也順便進行祭拜作業,我們不是矮靈,蘭交代等到拜祭完後再進入祭壇。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">昨晚深談後我才明白,伯太其實並未信仰『神』,亞述只是依著祖先要求虔誠地進行清掃工作而已,霸木所懊惱的,是誤認伯太假藉信仰『神』而三番兩次進入忌諱之地,唯恐帶來災厄,他們在徹底交換意見之後,互相取得諒解,亞述言明除了清掃也不願意進入山區,霸木也不再反對這種『掃墓』的行為。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">暫時無事可做,我們索性先檢查外頭堆棄的石塊殘骸。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「確實不是矮靈的工藝,矮靈也不懂製作這種石材。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「精靈不拜神,不可能蓋這個,而且連個『神像』都沒看到,到底在拜祭什麼啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲指著斷柱上的刻字:「小修~你來看看這個文字……我有點印象!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">字體跟蚯蚓一樣,但,確實是熟悉。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">誒——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這……這……居然是英文!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「英文?」「什麼……文?」蕾菲亞娜和朵麗並不知道這種文字。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「在小修故鄉買東西時,包裝上面有很多這種文字,我也看不懂。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒錯,的確是英文,我們那兒有許多種語言,英文算是使用廣泛的一種,千年之前有我的同族來到這裡。」我興奮地說著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一時嘴快,我立刻發覺朵麗也在,趕緊糊弄:「是類似種族,不是真的同族啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗:「小修是哪裡的精靈族啊?好特別。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她不曉得我說的是人類,我繼續瞎扯:「很偏遠,和這裡的精靈稍有不同。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「小蕾再找找看有沒有其他的,我想辦法拓下來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,我來抄寫比較快,雖然不是母語,但是我看得懂英文,妳也幫忙小蕾找找……如果有圖再來拓印。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">拓印手續麻煩,某些文字刻痕有點模糊,再轉拓我擔心會失真到無法解讀。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廢棄石塊不少,但是會有文字的都在石柱殘塊上,不只艾莉絲、蕾菲亞娜和朵麗,連梅琳都幫忙翻找。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——是英文實在太好了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我這樣想著,把能找到的斷句全部抄錄下來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">半小時左右,朗也和蘭完成了拜祭,看見我們忙著,也很驚訝。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">文字能抄的就抄下,殘缺難辨的就畫下長相,找到的總共有十幾句,之後再來設法組合,可惜破損迭失嚴重,有些缺角可能要用猜的,畢竟是千年前的歷史痕跡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">之後我們進入祭壇,大致了解它的本來樣貌,約略十五公尺長,八公尺寬,原本有八根石柱撐起,我無法判斷這祭壇原本用途,但確實有像歐特丘茲與矮靈的聚所。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜在呼叫,我趕緊前去,在角落立著兩塊石板刻畫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭也過來說明,其中一塊是歐特丘茲和矮靈們一起吃晚餐,還有婦女在烤魚,方法都不同,「歐特丘茲,教導矮靈,各種烤魚。」,有用石板在底下加熱,魚在石板上,與其說烤不如說是煎,伯太也有這一道料理手法。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來你們的烤魚技術是這樣來的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">另外一塊則讓我大吃一驚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭說那是歐特丘茲的自畫像,供矮靈們瞻仰,但是我一看就明白,根本不是蘭說的那一回事,而且艾莉絲也有看懂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">歐特丘茲在正中間,矮靈以為那是重點,其他的則是背景,大錯特錯,那背景才是重點——後面畫的是『高樓大廈』,那是人類的都市啊!矮靈不懂大樓建築,才誤以為只是單純的背景。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我支開朗也、蘭和朵麗,好方便與艾莉絲、蕾菲亞娜討論一些私密。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「果然是人類住的地方,小修說過,裡頭可以住千百個人類。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜靠近瞧個仔細:「那麼多洞,不會是巴太的山洞吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那些是公寓大樓,洞洞只是窗戶,有些是陽台,妳就當作兩、三個洞合算是一戶人家,數一數這大樓也有十幾層……」我解釋著,腦中又閃過不祥的念頭:「不、不對,千年之前,人類還蓋不了這種大樓,究竟怎麼回事?難道不是人類?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「下面有幾根,好像紅綠燈……不像,沒有燈。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是電線桿。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">南宮家所在是高級先進社區,電纜都已地下化,因此艾莉絲很少看到電線桿,才誤以為是穿越馬路用的紅綠燈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">人類到近代才有大樓與用電,這石板畫竟有千年歷史?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如果歐特丘茲是人類,那麼精靈世界和人類世界,不但不在同一個空間,甚至還不在同一個時間點,貿然再度穿越,我能回到原來的時空嗎?是百年前?抑或是百年後?原本的興奮,瞬間轉為失落,我呆望著石板。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">合理推算是倍數差,例如人間百年,精靈過千年,換句話說,我來到精靈世界一年,現在回去有可能是十年後的人類世界,但是樣本太少,無法歸納結論。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你還好嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾~我沒事,如果猜的沒錯,這石板畫的,或許就是歐特丘茲原本的家,他和我的年紀相差不會超過一百歲,電線、大樓,都是人類這一百年來才有的東西。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">回家的難度變大了,並不是回到人類世界就好,能不能回到當代才是個大問題。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有可能,畫工風格也差不多。」,我向蘭問道:「最近幾年有精靈來過祭壇嗎?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">用金幣換石塊出手真闊綽,加爾蘭達並沒有欺負矮靈賤買遺跡。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和蕾菲亞娜彼此相視,若真是同族她不可能不動搖,而且……算了,現在不是胡思亂想的時候。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們趕回巴太,送朗也和蘭回家,晚餐之後,又帶著芙涅回去住朵麗的山洞,雖然木寨安全,但是外頭的山洞比較自在,而且有梅琳在,安全有保障。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">三個矮靈離開不到五十公尺,蘭突然揮著手跑回來,還以為是要找我,結果——</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「蘭~怎麼回事?」艾莉絲問道,蕾菲亞娜一旁看著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那個,泡過後,小修反抗,咬住舌頭,沒力氣,聽話服從。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對,蘭試過,很管用,再見。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我那時很混亂,索敵根本就顧不到,而且蘭是半裸很煽情,我只好閉上眼睛不看,反被趁機偷襲,而且她舌頭馬上就伸進來,我根本來不及反應,後來我死命抓住她的手想要阻止,她又用上這一招,別說是咬舌頭,舌尖才被碰到就完全沒力氣,幸好小蕾及時趕到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我拚命解釋,不說不行,隱暪只會讓她們有幻想空間,而且是對我很不利的幻想。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">矮靈知識與文化落在精靈與野獸之間,這位祭司肯定很辛苦,或許他之後離開洪荒峽,踏上旅途前去尋找,也是為了這個原因。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">很幸運,陪伴我的不是矮靈,而是艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜,即使回不去人間,有她們相伴左右,日子也能過得很充實,我其至覺得,在人間的我反而像是行屍走肉,仗著家裡有錢坐吃山空,靠著學習武藝發洩精力,沒有太多想法,也沒有想守護的目標。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我很好奇,那位祭司在人間原來的『家』,會是什麼樣子?和他在矮靈的『家』,又有什麼差別?兩度離家遠行,他有著相當的覺悟。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">話說這晚,故事開講不到十分鐘,少女們就睡意濃厚,不是不喜歡故事,而是實在太累,我輕哄著,時間很多故事也很長,往後可以慢慢再說,加上溫柔的晚安之吻,她們很快就睡著了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我望著孩子般的睡臉:「真的,非常感恩有妳們陪在我身邊。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">關閉夜光石晶,結束這紛擾的一天。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我躡步走到書房,取出背包裡的小本子,梅琳鑽進我懷裡,坐在我大腿上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「想一起看?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我看不懂只是陪著而已,你每次看心情都很沈重。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她用鼻尖磨蹭我的臉頰,又癢又舒服,我輕撫毛絨大尾作為回饋。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉讓妳擔心,沒事的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">就這樣讓靈狐坐在懷裡,我把心思放回小抄本,抄錄的都是英文,雖然這兩天已經看過好多遍,但是我想在睡前再看一次。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">除了奧德修斯那一段之外,還有就是——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『史濟……斯,留筆』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——我猜測是那位祭司的名字,可惜中間裂開掉字,估計有四個字母的空間,我想了很多可能的英文名字,但是都對不上,姑且先叫他史濟先生吧!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『……只有我活著,親手埋葬……』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——或許來到精靈世界不只是史濟,只是其他人沒能順利活下來,當初我也差點喪命,幸好艾莉絲沒早早把我埋了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『……第八個月,紀念,妻子阿秀……』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——石柱上刻載應該都是重要紀事,我猜是史濟的矮靈妻子,同行的只有他活著,所以阿秀不可能是人類,而且拼音更接近矮靈的命名。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『……山外有大世界,發現高等精靈種族,締結靈線,神奇,羨慕……』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——史濟先生~你大概不知道,人類和精靈也能締結靈線,不過得有無怨無悔的情感作前提,你已有妻子,再想全心付出可不容易啊!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『……朋友很多,但是孤單~』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——最後一筆拉很長,貌似感觸良多,陪伴我的是精靈和靈龍,我並不孤單。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『……已經十年,被稱為神,矮靈不敢親近,更孤單……』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——大概是展現了智慧,更被矮靈當成神聖不可褻凟,反而越加無法正常溝通。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『……妻兒下山遠離,無所謂,想離開,找尋……』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——文化差異過大的結果,可惜沒找到線索他要去哪裡,也不知道他想找尋什麼,我很懷疑加爾蘭達帶走一些關鍵資料,包括『巴德納哈』這個線索。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『……有白頭髮,好想回家……』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——他寫的是指人類的家吧?他待在山上很久,有白頭髮之後才離開峽谷,那差不多是中老年紀,我不能確定,畢竟也有少年白的例子。不過,在精靈世界環境污染極低,又沒有學業、工作、生活的壓力,想宅在家也很困難,按理,身心都不會太快衰老才對。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">『……決定,死去之前觀看大世界,設法回家,找尋月光石晶……』</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——我認為史濟曾經擁有月光石晶,而且他的月光石晶,如果不是單程,就是利用『回程』的通道來到這裡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">所以他的月光石晶不需要締結靈線?而且能通過廊道的,還不只他一個人?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">想一想,他遲遲不離開山上或許也有原因,如果不會劍術和咒術,面對野獸的威脅能夠走多遠?一個現代人沒有武器傍身,比矮靈更加弱小。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「梅琳~我要去睡了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修這次表情好多了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「當然,我有妳、小艾和小蕾陪伴,非常幸福!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我由衷說著,帶著些許感恩的心情。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最後的記憶似乎是美麗的希緹麗亞,當時居然大方『享用』也不覺得害臊,真是羞愧得無地自容——遠古精靈王啊!請求您原諒小修的褻瀆。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">重新催咒,發動索敵。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不必看就知道,抱著手臂睡的是艾莉絲,另一邊的蕾菲亞娜罕見地側身而睡,肯定是在擔心我,梅琳在外頭,朵麗也在自己的帳內,夜晚很平靜,遠一點,有矮靈們的反應,並沒有惡應,都在安穩地睡覺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">長呼一口氣放鬆了自己。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如蚊囁聲傳來:「醒了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我轉頭過去嗯地回應,同時回想起蕾菲亞娜的觸感與靈線交纏。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哦~會害羞臉紅,正常的小修終於回來了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「之前我很奇怪,抱歉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哼!你不肯停下,還逼著我靈線交纏。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——呃……果然!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她總是避免靈線交纏,認為那是羈絆者的權利與神聖境界,即使艾莉絲不斷慫恿,蕾菲亞娜始終不為所動,我當然也予以尊重,只是沒想到,這份善意與堅持,卻被我的粗暴粉碎迨盡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">誓約者靠近著,我們彼此鼻尖磨蹭:「我沒怪你也不討厭,只是有點生氣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我只能道歉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不過,我也很驚訝,因為靈線交纏的前提是全心全意,一旦分心就會失敗,沒想到潛意識比我自己更快接納蕾菲亞娜,反過來我也擔心未來能否與艾莉絲正常靈線交纏。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「道歉可不夠,我要補償。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我用力點點頭,這事責無旁貸。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「下次要好好的,溫柔的再一次靈線交纏,不准那麼粗暴。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜親吻了我,當是愛侶的約定。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修能正常活動嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來我又做了這種蠢事,唉~已算是累犯。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不會啦!真的是很抱歉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">好吧——蕾菲亞娜隨即坐起身子,「我趕來時,蘭似乎在做很不得了的事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我悄悄掙脫艾莉絲,相對盤地坐正:「恐怕她算好時間在營帳等著,要不就是偷偷跟來,那時候我混亂得顧不到索敵反應。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真虧小修能喊出我的真名。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">伴隨一聲長嘆,「那是我能硬擠出口的最後一句,差點就要放棄抵抗。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「壞了主人好事,小蕾很抱歉呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我無言以對,當下確實有衝動與蘭繼續做下去,居然對小學生體型的矮靈產生慾望,內心實在羞愧,但是那種狀態下可不能作數。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜讓我叫醒艾莉絲,她去叫醒朵麗,順道把梅琳也叫進來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我把事情前後大略說了一遍,但是省略被蘭親吻的那一段。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「之後你們有看見蘭嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲揉著惺忪睡眼:「沒吶!我們一直陪著你。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「晚會怎樣?矮靈有什麼異常嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗:「很精彩也很瘋狂,矮靈們非常盡興,應該不是假裝的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我的理解是蘭自己做的,如果要說有共謀,大概是亞述或蘭的母親。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「想想很可疑,亞述拖到很晚才回來,還主動邀請住下參加晚會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗:「啊!沒錯~以前不曾如此耗時費力,今天做了不少多餘的事,感覺上是故意拖到日落才帶我回木寨。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「還以為是單純感謝我們趕走巴太才邀請我們住下。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗:「矮靈從來不做這種事,唉~都是我,早該懷疑有問題,卻受不了誘惑留下來,當時堅持離開就沒事了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別在意,如果對方有心,就算我們拒絕也會想出其他辦法。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「假設是存心的,目的又是什麼?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「亞述該不會是認為,如果和蘭結合小修就會留在伯太部落吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是白費心機,蘭算計在先,我才沒有道義留下來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒有感情的結合只是一時快感,不會有互相依存的意義,我是這樣認為的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗:「矮靈不是很聰明,不好判斷他們想法,強留小修等於也惹毛了小艾和小蕾,會毀了木寨吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「不必到強留的地步,光是蘭做的事就足以讓我毁掉木寨。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我真相信她辦得到,只要恢復龍身,在穴室上方又蹦又跳肯定會塌掉一大半,就算不抵抗,矮靈的武器也無法傷她分毫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾別衝動先聽我說~我其實是很同情蘭的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「你不會是對蘭有好感吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別誤會,不是男女之間的好感。她脫我衣服時,一邊哭還一邊說對不起,如果是她的心願,至少可以開心點吧?她那副模樣簡直絕望到不行。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「會是被逼的嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有可能,我還聽見她說要我幫忙,她只要孩子,為了和朗也在一起。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這我不懂,如果蘭有小修的孩子,就能與朗也在一起?這什麼邏輯啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾~矮靈的愛情觀和精靈不一樣哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾說的沒錯,雖說矮靈對配偶會忠貞,但程度上和精靈差別很大,偶而還會出軌有個一夜情,交往時,也可能與複數對象發生接吻或更親密的關係,我還聽說有些矮靈要確定有了孩子才願意組成家庭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——朵麗的說法,讓我覺得矮靈的行為與人類非常相似,精靈甚至不會使用偷情這種字眼,羈絆者會分開,通常是靈格有重大瑕疵而非感情出軌。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「難道是朗也不能生,所以蘭找我代打嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">推究這觀點也不太合理,想生孩子找矮靈就行,何必執著於我?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗:「麻煩透頂……我討厭瞎猜,要不找蘭直接問。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「我也贊成,想傷害主人,別以為我會輕易放過她。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「妳先冷靜呀!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「明明撿了個大便宜。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜紅著臉:「小艾~~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲笑嘻嘻說:「對不起~我是說小修撿了大便宜。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我又嘆了口氣:「也不能放著不管,我去找蘭直接問個明白。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等,小修說『我』是什麼意思?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「主人該說『我們』才對!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗:「你認為她們肯讓你和蘭獨處嗎?萬一兩情相悅生了孩子怎麼辦?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「才沒兩情相悅,那就一道去,先說好可別衝動,我擔心妳們一言不合就鬧事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲努著小嘴:「今晚衝動的,不知道是誰哦?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜叉手抱住自己:「一言不合又抱又吻,是誰鬧事啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">戮中笑點,朵麗掩嘴捧腹大笑。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——可惡的梅琳,別以為轉過頭去,我就不知道妳在竊笑~</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒有月色,摸黑偷偷潛入地穴內的通道中。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">根據朵麗的概算,我睡著還不到三個小時,目前仍是半夜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一夜狂歡,矮靈們睡得深沈,外頭毫無動靜,唯一醒著的只有大門的幾個守衛,他們不會用索敵,專注於警戒木寨外頭,潛入非常順利。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們不知道蘭的房間,也不可能打開每個穴室來確認,因此我儘量靠近穴室門口,讓索敵能顯現形體。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幸好矮靈們都累了,偵搜很順利,蘭的身材是矮靈少見的苗條,很容易辨識。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我終於找到蘭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">很幸運,她是獨自一間,而且也還醒著,做了那種事,心裡應該很不安才對。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我指著房間示意蘭沒睡,朵麗點點頭,走到木門前輕敲著,其餘都退到十步之外,以免陣仗太大嚇著了蘭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒反應,朵麗再次輕敲,神情黯然的蘭最後還是開了門,朵麗輕推她一起進入房間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒多久,朵麗成功說服了蘭走出房間,到目前為止都依著計畫進行,我們悄悄回到營帳,石室內回音大,即使在房間內交談,也很容易驚動其他矮靈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭一看見我就畏縮地低下頭,我越來越覺得她是迫於無奈。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我擔心倒不是她,一手緊牽蕾菲亞娜,艾莉絲機警地牽住她另一隻手,這位靈龍少女平時冷靜,但是一扯上我就會毛躁,一不小心就會翻臉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">打開夜光石晶,讓蘭坐在艾莉絲和朵麗之間,讓蕾菲亞娜坐在艾莉絲與我之間,不愧是羈絆者,懂得看狀況決定坐位。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗開了話頭打破僵局,「蘭~妳不是自己願意的吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,蘭,自己決定,自己願意。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我牽著她的小手,用姆指輕撫手背,無論如何都不能放開,免得營帳給吹飛了。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我示意蕾菲亞娜用心語術:【別衝動,會問不出真正的原因,她想獨自扛罪,以免牽連父母和同族。】</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我嚴肅回答:「當然,只要妳肯實話實說,視情況說不定還會幫妳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗扶好蘭,終於肯抬起了頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「蘭說實話,幫蘭,想要孩子,精靈的孩子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲聽出疑點:「蘭想要『精靈的孩子』?不是一定要小修的孩子吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「精靈孩子,非常想要,強大精靈,更好,小修強大。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲追根究底:「蘭~我問妳~小修和朗也比起來,你比較喜歡誰?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喜歡朗也,小修,沒有喜歡。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「蘭~妳喜歡朗也,卻想要生下小修的孩子,我不相信是妳自己的意思。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也不相信,那時候我聽見妳說,生下我的孩子,妳才能和朗也在一起,到底是誰這樣說的?我要實話!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「說了,不生氣?小修原諒?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對,我只想知道事實。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……父親答應,生下小修孩子,孩子留伯太,蘭跟朗也走。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「所以蘭答應了?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒辦法,不答應,逼蘭,同族結合,遠離朗也。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然就是亞述的陰謀,他給女兒兩條路選擇,基本上,我認為只提供違反個人意願的選項,與獨裁差不了多少。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「真看不下去,不管哪一個選擇都是錯誤的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「蘭~我會試著幫妳和朗也在一起。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭又是趴地磕頭:「謝謝小修,蘭準備,一起生孩子。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等,為什麼會想到那邊去?我說幫忙,又不是指生孩子!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜搖頭嘆氣,智商差一截的矮靈,思考不會轉彎。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「生孩子,容易,遠離朗也,不接受。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「蘭~我給妳第三個選擇,朗也和蘭在一起,而且不用生小修的小孩,如何?接受嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不接受!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「為什麼?妳這麼想要小修的孩子?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾選擇,不接受,父親選擇,必須!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗解釋說:「蘭的意思是指,不是亞述給的選擇就沒有意義。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">的確,矮靈部落的族長就是國王陛下,但是糾結在小孩這方面,我覺得實在很可疑,要把初夜權獻給誰的無稽說法,簡直就是落後中的落後民族才會幹的事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我不懂,蘭就算與精靈結合,生下來也是矮靈,直接和朗也生不也一樣嗎?難不成還真能生出怪物嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">理論上,在精靈世界裡我無法繁衍『人類』的後代,艾莉絲會生下精靈,蕾菲亞娜也只會生下靈龍,混種能傳承的父系特徵並不多,男性基因還真是弱勢。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「怎麼可能啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「孩子以母體為主是常識,矮靈也應該知道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜否認說著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭伸手指著:「朵麗清楚!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">面對質疑視線,朵麗雙手一攤:「真的會生出怪物哦!」,中間夾著一聲嘆息,「如果答應當做秘密,我就告訴妳們。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">除了嘩然震驚,我們也點頭同意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「其實——芙涅是我真正的妹妹,我們是同父異母。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們再次嚇了一跳,朵麗確實與芙涅以姐妹相稱,感情好得非比尋常,只是完全沒料想到,精靈朵麗與矮靈芙涅竟會是親姐妹,朵麗在苦笑中娓娓道出真相。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗拒絕安達魯孤兒院的收容,一心認為父親還活著,想留在村裡等候,旅館老闆見她可憐,便給予工作機會,供吃供住。</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">路過的女性矮靈乙莉發現他們,草草安葬海蘿,硬是拖著重傷的匹茲伯回到部落,但是矮靈不讓外族在木寨內過夜,乙莉只好讓匹茲伯住在附近山洞裡,為他療傷提供食物。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">醒來的匹茲伯知道妻子已死,心情悲痛,遂想返回村子找尋女兒朵麗,無奈自己不知身在何處又瘸腿無法走動。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖說矮靈對精靈還不至於到非常厭惡的程度,但是沒有好感也不信任,雙方互不往來,因此,沒有矮靈肯為匹茲伯代傳訊息或聯繫村落。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">匹茲伯的療癒術不夠強大,只能依靠矮靈藥物慢慢回復,洪荒峽谷危機四伏,匹茲伯瘸了腿無法自保,只好暫時以山洞為家。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩年之後,乙莉與匹茲伯日久生情,終於結為連理,矮靈不需要締結靈線就能懷孕生子,他們愛的結晶就是芙涅。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">矮靈對於找誰做配偶並無強制,偶而還有兄妹之類近親結合的例子,並非矮靈不知廉恥,而是智慧程度有限,倫理限制也少,才會有一夫多妻或一妻多夫,有貞潔觀念卻不甚嚴謹。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">匹茲伯雖與乙莉成家,仍惦記著女兒朵麗,內心思索之後,認為女兒不能棄,乙莉有救命之恩及夫妻之實也不能棄,自己必須誠實面對。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">有一次乙莉在附近採食,巧遇來探險的精靈隊伍,一般來說矮靈會避而遠之,但是乙莉鼓起勇氣上前搭訕,用著拙劣的精靈語述說匹茲伯的遭遇,最後探險精靈協助行動不便的匹茲伯返回達達喀村,見到了女兒朵麗,父女久別重逢場面溫馨。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">精靈與矮靈的結合,社會上並未禁止,但也非比尋常,擔心朵麗不接受,匹茲伯暫時隱暪,並以紀念亡妻名義,在達達喀村蓋屋久居,並善用與矮靈的關係,做起掮客生意,他對矮靈以物易物,改善矮靈的生活,並把矮靈的製品轉賣給精靈賺取差價。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗特別舉『門』這個例子,矮靈只會綁柱為牆,但是門板與鉸鏈只有精靈懂得製做,伯太石室之所以有『木門』,就是匹茲伯引進的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">匹茲伯以經商為由,輪流住在達達喀村和巴太附近的山洞,之所以會有兩個山洞,一個是給挑伕睡的,另一個則是與乙莉相聚用的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">經過許多年,也沒什麼大問題,直到朵麗廿八歲那年,匹茲伯認為時機成熟,便把乙莉和芙涅的事和盤托出,雖然最初有點不能接受,但是朵麗天性開朗,很快便釋懷諒解,並要求認識後母與年幼的妹妹,匹茲伯也欣然同意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗見到乙莉寒喧如賓,與芙涅卻是一見如故,不愧是有血緣關係,即使分屬不同種族仍然情同姐妹。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗曾經希望父親把乙莉和芙涅接回達達喀村,但是乙莉早與匹茲伯達成共識,不希望改變目前的生活習慣,而且矮靈很不願意離開居住地,而且親友都在部落,乙莉不希望芙涅疏遠親友們。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">更重要的理由是,精靈一直視矮靈為低等靈類,即使不反對結合,仍會有先天非我族類的排斥意識。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗接受父親的解釋與安排,此後,便經常隨同父親往來達達喀村與巴太部落,熟悉路線之後,甚至單獨自行前往巴太找妹妹,姐妹倆一起在峽谷裡四處玩耍,匹茲伯強烈要求朵麗,如果要單獨到峽谷,就要勤練劍術,朵麗知道父親用意是要她有自保能力,慨然接受條件。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是,矮靈最多僅百餘歲月,精靈生命卻長達五百年,日子一天一天過,芙涅尚未百歲母親乙莉離世,匹茲伯上了年紀行走也不方便,踏足峽谷的次數逐漸減少,生意幾乎全交給女兒處理,朵麗不在乎芙涅樣貌變老,仍然當是妹妹般的照顧著。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗故事說完,我們終於相信精靈和矮靈結合生下子嗣確有真實案例。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「好感動的故事。不過朵麗說的不太對,芙涅才不是怪物,也不應該說自己的妹妹是怪物。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗苦笑著:「我當然認為芙涅很正常,但是許多矮靈卻認為她是怪物。」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——輪不到妳我來說,小蕾是混在精靈裡的靈龍,我是混在精靈裡的人類,我們才是真正的『怪物』。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗搖著頭:「妳們不是當事者,不知道不同種族結合有多辛苦。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「我懂,即使小修非我族類,我還是會深愛著他。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗:「別說得好像都是不同種族一樣,基本上魔靈和精靈也差不了多少。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——真抱歉,我們三個種族大大不同,才不是魔靈和精靈這麼簡單。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「朵麗,我和小艾、小蕾確實知道有種族差異極大卻結合在一起的實例。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜笑著點頭,真擔心她們不小心就露了餡。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我還是無法理解朵麗說的,不過就是精靈與矮靈的後代,蘭被要求孕育有精靈血統的後代,真的有那個價值嗎?芙涅看起來與一般矮靈無異。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,芙涅,非常厲害。」蘭不同意我說的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗點頭說道:「的確是很厲害,你們難道沒發現芙涅在巴太很受尊敬?而且沒有男性矮靈追求?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是吶!和霸木談話時,她也能一同出席,芙涅和朵麗有幾分相似,年輕時應該和朵麗一樣漂亮才對,沒有成家也很奇怪。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~就當你是在稱讚我。矮靈咒力不強,我父親的咒術在精靈之中也不算厲害,但是芙涅承繼了我父親的療癒術,治病療傷比用藥物更快更好,巴太矮靈受到芙涅的恩惠,所以非常敬重她,但就是太尊敬,男性矮靈都不敢追求,芙涅知道自己特別,對成家這種事也就不太在意。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來是這樣,難怪芙涅有自己的山洞,而且還是最下層。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">最下層山洞出入方便,德高望重的矮靈才能優先居住。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒錯,所以芙涅可以自由進出木寨,還能在晚上出來找我。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我當時也覺得奇怪,芙涅當晚趕來山洞,守衛居然沒阻止她。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「因為有芙涅,巴太傷亡大減,力量也更加強大,才敢大老遠前來攻打伯太啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我懂了,有芙涅的例子,伯太強烈認為只要有相當的精靈後代,就能對抗巴太。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是的,小修強大,孩子強大,扺抗巴太。」蘭看著我的眼神,似乎還沒放棄要得到我的孩子,她肯定還在認為這麼做最方便。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「因為,小艾小蕾,身體樣子,臉蛋長相,小修喜歡。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">比起其他矮靈的稍胖圓臉,蘭顯瘦苗條,也是瓜子臉,與我家少女們相當,在精靈社會中也能算上是美女,但矮靈可不一樣,能多生能哺乳才是美女。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「蘭,你千萬別再想和我生下孩子,沒用的,我和朵麗父親不一樣,如果妳生下我的孩子,我絕對會帶走,不可能讓孩子獨自留在外頭。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誒?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「什麼事?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「蘭是怎麼讓我變得怪怪的,這一定要問個明白,免得下次被暗算。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭的親吻生硬,一開始就是深吻也很可疑。當她以舌尖長驅直入,尖點相觸之際,慾望同時爆發,肌肉鬆弛沒了力氣,當我奮力反抗時,她又重施故技,第二次舌尖相觸,我幾乎成了待宰羔羊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">仔細想想,這實在不像深吻,証據就是——每當我束手就縛,她就收回舌尖,渴望繼續的反而是我自己,當然,那是情慾被挑起的緣故,非我本意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">與其說那是深吻,不如說是某種開關,但箇中原因我怎麼好意思問出口啊?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呣……是有啦,我想想……」,艾莉絲小腦袋一歪,「以前啊,有市集東西兩側鬧到巡守隊,互相指責對方製造髒亂,本來是小事,後來鬧僵了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「隊長說啊——你們就是斤斤計較,不願意收拾對方的垃圾——最後定下規矩,雙方共組清潔隊,由清潔隊清掃整條街,然後就結束了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「所以要先知道原因,才能想個方法搞定,最後就不會鬧事了。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「隊長是怎麼做的?那麼多精靈你一句我一句,聽誰的啊?」</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一直沈默的梅琳走到我身邊開口:「把亞述帶去見霸木,讓他們面對面談。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「也是!好~明天先搞定亞述,大家先睡吧!好晚了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳接近我聞了聞,作勢要出去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「梅琳也可以睡裡面,小修正常了,不用在外頭警戒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不要,小修身上有味道,我要出去透氣。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「什麼味道?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「蘭發情的味道。」說完,梅琳一溜煙就跑出營帳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——這下尷尬了,怪我嗎?丟顆炸彈就跑,也不想想我多辛苦。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩道嚴厲的視線讓我很不自在,「那……我也出去睡好了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當然無法得逞,以消除蘭的味道當理由,又被少女們折騰好一陣子,以前夢到希緹麗亞,我總會告訴艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜,唯獨這次一輩子都不能說,絕對會雪上加霜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一早,矮靈們全部聚在大門,因為我把木寨大門一下子就給劈倒,昨天出手相救,今天卻立刻翻臉,矮靈們不明所以,趕緊通報族長亞述,穴室是他的地盤,因此,我逼亞述到營火廣場對談,矮靈們害怕得躲進地穴,頂多從土丘探頭偷窺。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭頭低得不能再低,一副東窗事發擺不平的姿態,亞述心知肚明,我的威脅讓他冒著冷汗,緊張得說不出話。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲嘟著嘴生氣狀,釋放不傷害的火焰術,故意讓周圍更加熱呼呼的,蕾菲亞娜表情冰冷眼神犀利,只是靜坐就夠可怕的。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜摀著嘴強忍笑意,朵麗跪倒地上捧腹掩臉,我也覺得自己的演技有夠誇張,沒辦法,我經驗差得很,蘭一臉為難不忍父親被耍弄,但是我們早就商量好對策,我不擔心蘭會倒戈,反而操心另外三個笨蛋會笑場。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我繼續對亞述說:「讓你撿回一隻左手啦!接下來是我夫人的條件——她最討厭吵架打閙,以後伯太和巴太要合好,不准搞事,這很容易吧!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——把女兒送給我挺乾脆的,反而『和平共處』竟然會猶豫?我有點意外,按理,第二個條件等於是相送的禮物。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">想到亞述逼迫女兒從兩個卑劣選項擇一而行,我只是以其人之道還治其身。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述沒有作聲只是思考,其中必有文章,昨晚蕾菲亞娜說過,要先知道原因,才能給個方法。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誤會啊!亞述喜歡,和平共處,同族喜歡,一起生活,巴太不肯,打罵同族,逼迫離開,不還手,會死。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等等!我不太懂意思,是不是伯太希望和平,但巴太不願意,所以你無法答應我?」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">跟矮靈說話好累,就不能一次說清楚嗎?真無奈。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗:「我見過好幾次巴太和伯太打起來,實在搞不懂是為什麼,矮靈又不喜歡告訴外族這種事。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我點點頭:「亞述,這樣吧!如果你同意和平共處,巴太那邊我來想辦法,不管巴太肯不肯,我都當作你答應我家夫人的條件,不斷你右手,也不傷害你的同族。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">相當於亞述只用一個女兒,就平息我們恐怖的憤怒,一開始燒樹拆大門就是要矮靈們徹底明白力量的差異。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述總算願意陳述雙方不合的原因,矮靈語意不全,著急之下更難理解,幸虧有朵麗幫忙解說。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">洪荒峽有三條主要河流,巴太部落位於古望西川和古望中川之間,伯太部落在古望中川和古望東川之間,巴太傍山,擅長狩獵山林野獸,伯太臨河,喜愛撈捕河中魚蝦。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">無奈中川與東川河寬水淺,魚兒長得小種類也少,西川就是彩虹瀑布的下游,河窄水深,孕育豐富魚獲,其中甚多魚種為伯太矮靈所好,因而經常冒險越過巴太地盤,深入西川捕魚,巴太認為伯太過分越界,雙方一遭遇就吵架,理論不成就大打出手,偶發事件最後逐漸演變成部落間的紛爭,紛爭越鬧越大,漸漸不相往來,各據一方互不相讓,也大大影響伯太的漁獲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述生氣說著——巴太魚料理差勁,又不愛吃魚,阻止伯太捕魚沒道理,我的確在巴太部落裡沒看過魚料理,就算有,一定也是恐怖得讓我認不出來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「聽起來,巴太別管伯太捕魚就沒事了啊!他們自己又不捕魚。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等聽過霸木說的再下定論,矮靈思慮簡單,只說對自己有利的部分。」朵麗提醒著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我強硬要求亞述一起到巴太談判,他則希望帶上護衛,一開始我拒絕,由我保護就夠,帶上護衛反而易被視為敵意,但是蕾菲亞耳語幾句之後,我轉念了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「亞述,我讓你帶三名護衛,不准帶武器,但是要帶上你們最好吃的魚料理。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不帶武器?危險!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「放心!我會負責,保証全都能安全回家。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴太矮靈不愛吃魚是常識,亞述對於帶上魚料理很疑惑,最後還是同意準備。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">道理上來說,蘭已經屬於我,勢必要隨我離開伯太,蘭的母親知道後哭得唏哩嘩啦,還伏地磕頭,請求我好好對待蘭,她以為這一走就再也見不著女兒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這是朵麗的點子,之後我對蘭的任何安排,伯太也不得置喙,湊合羅密歐與茱麗葉的計畫只完成一半,還得讓霸木接受這個媳婦才行。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">吃完早餐後,出發前往巴太部落,亞述帶著三名矮靈部下,帶著一大袋烤魚,一大袋魚干,還有一大袋未料理鮮魚,他們揹得挺開心的,因為我說這是替伯太矮靈爭取在西川捕魚的權利。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們精靈這夥走在矮靈們後方廿步左右,因為蘭現在歸屬於我,所以跟在我們後頭,她原本叫我主人,馬上就被蕾菲亞娜制止,嚴令只准叫小修大人。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——小蕾對於『主人』有強烈獨佔慾,我早就偷偷想好對策,只要推說是小艾的女僕就萬事大吉,說服小艾簡單多啦!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗說過,矮靈被當作賠償物品時,會斷絕家族關係,我打算將蘭與朗也送作堆之後,再讓蘭恢復家族關係,不能恢復也無所謂,艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜都非常堅持,有情人必須成為眷屬,我是好男人,當然要聽從她們的願望。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">與亞述距離廿步也有用意,我有麻煩話題必須討論。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">武力逼迫只能一時,兩部落和諧相處、姻緣得到祝福才是長久之計,道理我懂,卻想不到好辦法。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「朵麗真厲害,居然能與兩個完全不同氣氛的矮靈部落相處,還能穿梭自如。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~不是我自誇,能得到信任與矮靈往來做生意的,就只有我和父親而已,矮靈知道自己笨,與精靈交易總是吃虧,所以從不與精靈往來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我倒認為她的行為舉止與矮靈相仿,才是被接受的最大原因,朵麗也不認為適度的肌膚接觸是不禮貌的行為。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「問題是,怎讓霸木接受蘭這個媳婦啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗兩手一攤:「船到橋頭自然直。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真過分,到時候搞不定妳得負責照顧蘭。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒這回事,蘭是屬於妳的,就算你帶回家生小孩也沒問題,蘭也不會反抗。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「事不關己,馬後炮風涼話~我家夫人和女僕真的很恐怖,絕對會出事的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你們討論這麼小聲,我們聽不到啊!」艾莉絲在後頭嚷著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她與蕾菲亞娜、蘭走在後排,我和朵麗在商量辦法,所以並肩走在前排。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「主人可別趁機談情說愛哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「誰會啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們剛討論到生小孩的事。」朵麗壞笑故意火上添油。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">斥責的視線射來,我趕緊慌忙地揮手否認。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">要是再想不出辦法,就只能如同朵麗所說——船到橋頭自然直,最壞打算就是把朗也和蘭帶離峽谷,讓他們在一起是共識。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">洪荒峽谷叢林密布,但是只要沿著河走就很輕鬆,才走到巴太部落附近,就發現巴太矮靈們正忙得混亂。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">廿幾個矮靈與三隻赤眼獅對峙,獅子身上都有中箭,卻未倒下仍然對抗著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我好奇問著朵麗:「在大門口狩獵,還真能碰上獵物?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「矮靈通常不狩獵赤眼獅,風險太高,不過赤眼獅會接近部落也很稀奇。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那三隻獅子是困獸之鬥,傷成這樣,應該也逃不了,朵麗認為呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「矮靈打算動手,早晚會獵殺成功,只是獅子很兇,矮靈受傷也難免。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">狗急會跳牆,大意不得,我回頭詢問艾莉絲:「能了結獅子嗎?這樣也挺痛苦的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲允諾,取下精靈弓,咻~咻~咻三支咒箭就射殺了赤眼獅,落落輕鬆,顯然弓術又有成長,我和朵麗不禁拍手叫好。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們緩緩接近木寨大門,仔細瞧著矮靈們,沒發現霸木,也沒看到朗也,但是矮靈看待我們的態度很複雜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗說道:「畢竟昨天嚇壞了他們。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我明明只是愛好和平的小伙子而已。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我去和他們談談,你先別跟來,矮靈會害怕。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們遠遠看著朵麗交涉,矮靈似乎沒有惡意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗臉色大變,慌忙跑著回來,「朗也出事了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「朗也……」最擔心的是蘭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">當然我們也很憂心,羅密歐可是男主角啊!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">進入木寨,把伯太四個矮靈和蕾菲亞娜、梅琳留置廣場休息,我和艾莉絲、朵麗、蘭則進入族長山洞內探視。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗告訴我們,朗也回來之後和父親吵了一架,霸木不肯退讓,堅持等我們離開峽谷再次計劃攻擊,朗也無法接受,揚言離開部落,霸木一生氣,打了兒子一巴掌,這一巴掌也讓失望的朗也決心離開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木只有朗也一個兒子,一聽到他離家出走,立刻追蹤上去,在附近森林裡發現還未走遠的朗也,被三頭赤眼獅圍攻糾纏,霸木上前解危卻受了傷,朗也不得已,帶著父親且戰且走,一路退回木寨,赤眼獅不肯放棄到嘴肥肉,緊跟到大門,霸木不小心摔了一跤,朗也撲上相救,雖然撿回一命,但朗也手腳被撕咬抓裂,腹脇也受到重創,幸虧守衛迅速召集戰士,出寨援護,當我們來到之際,戰士們正與獅子對峙,朗也和霸木則被帶入急救。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">進入山洞,霸木的輕傷沒什麼大礙,但朗也失去意識,全身多處傷害,尤其是腹部被咬個大洞,那恐怕會致命吧!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">芙涅正在使用療癒術治療,臉上汗如雨下,應該是非常拼了,或許她還能做得更好,但是洪荒峽遠離精靈樹,積蓄靈力需要時間,如果平時還得幫助其他族員,那麼現在就有可能靈力不足。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我牽著艾莉絲,讓她用心語術:【朗也狀況如何?】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【傷很重,芙涅看起來已經極限,沒辦法了。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【妳幫得上嗎?】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【當然可以,比起你在迷宮受的傷,這個簡單多了。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【那麼我期待小艾囉!】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【交給我!】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我姑且試問:「芙涅~妳能救回朗也嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她搖著頭無力回答。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木一看搖頭也急了:「芙涅,拜託,救朗也。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「傷重,咒力不夠,療癒困難!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭一臉焦急被朵麗拉住,霸木並未注意到,似乎尚不知曉兒子的戀情。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我家夫人療癒術厲害,需要幫忙救治嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木焦急說道:「拜託!請求夫人。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我對艾莉絲示意,她點點頭,芙涅主動交換位置。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「霸木,這山洞太擠,我們出去吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是,朗也,需要照顧。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這位是蘭,是我的……照顧我們的矮靈,她留下比你更有用。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">都是蕾菲亞娜不肯我用女僕稱呼蘭,但我也不想用『屬於我的矮靈』這種奇怪說法。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木和我、朵麗離開山洞,他一眼就看到亞述,氣沖沖地衝上去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我就是擔心巴太矮靈會攻擊亞述,才會把蕾菲亞娜、梅琳留在外頭,也幸虧當初禁止亞述攜帶任何武器,否則現在很容易一觸即發擦槍走火。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「亞述是我帶來的,霸木你要是膽敢動手,我可不會當作沒看到哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「但是,伯太,壞矮靈,打傷巴太同族,可惡!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——咦?不是巴太欺負伯太,不讓伯太越界捕魚嗎?霸木咬牙切齒,不像說謊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">兩個族長開始你一句我一句,毫無交集還比大聲,吵得面紅耳赤。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「巴太先的,打傷伯太同族,不給抓魚。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「亂說,伯太先的,不給獵牛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我沒阻止,反正他們手上沒武器,又相隔桌子兩邊,有我在場還不至於敢打起來,都顧慮到先出手可能會倒大楣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我聽不太懂矮靈吵架,但是朵麗有在仔細聽著,矮靈並非故意各說各話,是頭腦簡單只思考對自己最有利的,蘭就是單純認為與精靈生下孩子,就能和朗也在一起,至於之後會如何?我們各自生活會有何變化?她完全沒考慮過。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">矮靈需要提點才會有同理心,難怪會被說成低等靈類;人類也不遑多讓,一出事就先吵,一吵就比大聲,一大聲就打起來,智慧程度與矮靈沒多大差別。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">就在兩個族長吵得不可開交時,艾莉絲和芙涅走出山洞來到我們身邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木沒心思再吵,緊張掉頭問道:「朗也?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為芙涅半天都治不好,霸木很擔心,但是我親身體驗過,對艾莉絲很有信心。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「朗也沒事,說話走路,沒問題。夫人厲害,非常厲害。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「剩下的小事,交給我家的蘭就夠了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">芙涅與艾莉絲肯定說著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我一聽就知道是胡扯,療癒成功擦掉血跡就沒事,八成是為了讓羅密歐和茱麗葉能單獨相處。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木起身,對艾莉絲猛地鞠躬數次,「謝謝夫人,必定報答。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">山洞裡只有朗也和蘭,霸木不曉得有戀情,但亞述是知道的,他小聲對我耳語:「蘭,小修的,在山洞,有朗也,危險危險!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——放心吧!蘭這頂綠帽遲早要戴上的,我還巴望越快越好。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">霸木想去山洞看朗也,艾莉絲阻止他:「等等!小修的愛侶正在裡頭幫朗也包紮,等一會再進去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——啥!蘭何時變成『愛侶』?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗驚訝著,蕾菲亞娜也坐立不安,唯獨亞述的表情很滿意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這一說霸木只好坐下,艾莉絲對我點點頭,把蘭和朗也留在山洞似乎另有所圖。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">為了留下霸木,我索性執行計畫:「肚子餓了,我家夫人最愛巴太烤肉,能麻煩把最好吃的烤肉端過來嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗:「我知道夫人口味,我來幫忙,霸木啊~夫人肚子餓,拜託了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲是兒子的救命恩人,霸木當然很樂意,帶著朵麗,還招呼幾個族員幫忙拿取食物,經過亞述面前時,兩個族長還不忘擺回臭臉,怒瞪對哼互別苗頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修,待會你得生氣,非常生氣才行!」艾莉絲偷偷耳語。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「又演戲,要多生氣呀?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「電視演過愛侶和別的男人幽會親嘴,丈夫生氣發飆。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來如此,全明白了,只不過,扮演偷情男或是抓包夫我都不想啊!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「什麼時候?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先按計畫吃肉吃魚,等個一炷時間左右,也讓他們多聚一會。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我悄悄問蕾菲亞娜:「那個……我早上掠奪一名女性,傍晚又抛棄這名女性,靈格會不會變得十分糟糕啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不,主人是在幫助他們,小蕾很開心,而且引以為榮,但是——」靈龍少女突然笑臉一轉嚴肅:「下不為例,絕對!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修色瞇瞇的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修在害羞哩!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲又在胡亂誤會,蕾菲亞娜還一邊落井下石,但是被指控是有原因的,因為蘭不等她們就坐,搶佔我身邊座位,椅子多的是,她這麼做明顯是故意的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜也不是省油的燈,指著別處桌上,對蘭說我想吃水果——為什麼是我?我根本還沒說話——趁蘭過去拿取時,艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜立刻霸佔我兩旁座位。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別胡說八道,她看起來好像很勉強,並不是很開心或是在害羞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">依我看是被父親交代要盡地主之誼的緣故。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是……沒錯,說不定她和小蕾一樣,表面這樣,其實心裡好喜歡小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原本在點頭的蕾菲亞娜,表情一轉慌張:「為什麼這裡會扯上我?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我笑了笑:「妳以前總是面無表情,怎都不肯笑,跟蘭一樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我……我才不會搶著坐你身邊。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大概是族長有吩咐,所以才會緊跟著,小蕾以前不也是這樣伺候我嘛。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「說的有理,而且小蕾貼得更近哦!」艾莉絲總算說了句公道話。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜無法反駁,嘟著嘴:「小修明明說過我是唯一的女僕。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「現在也一樣啊!都別緊張,仔細想想就知道沒事,族長女兒是個寶,想色誘也犯不著用上自己的女兒,蘭長得又不差,肯定有許多追求者,最理想的伴侶,就是族裡最優秀的戰士,這點小事妳們也動點腦筋啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲一副晃然大悟的模樣,蕾菲亞娜點頭同意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭端著兩盤水果和食物回來,看到位置被艾莉絲佔據,沒說什麼,表情也沒變化,在我對面找張椅子坐下,並招呼我們一起用餐。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這反而更糟,裸胸妙齡女子坐在正前方,這叫我視線怎麼擺?倒不如坐在旁邊,至少還能眼不見為淨,我必須若無其事,萬一稍有動搖,公主和龍女肯定不會放過我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我左顧右盼設法尋找朗也喜歡的女孩子,朗也大概三、四十歲,對方應該年齡相近,到目前為止,我實在是看不出誰有可能,當初沒問一下長相真是失策。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們一直等著,大概一小時左右朵麗才姍姍遲來,亞述和一位陌生女性跟隨一旁。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「久等了!誤會算是解開了,我答應亞述下午一起去看這次交易的貨物,傍晚我們在這裡會合,到時再一起到外頭找野營地。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述似乎很開心,在蘭身邊耳語一番,蘭的表情一點變化都沒有,只是點頭答應,那模樣和蕾菲亞娜真是相似。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">陌生女性走向我:「感謝小修!我,亞麗珊,蘭的母親。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「亞麗珊夫人你好,承蒙招待,我們也很感謝!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「請務必,疼惜女兒,蘭很溫柔,拜託!」說完還深深一鞠躬。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述也走到我身前:「朵麗看貨,我帶走,蘭帶妳們,好好玩,溫泉很棒。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「非常感謝!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說完,亞述和亞麗珊便打算離開,還示意要朵麗一起走。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗趕緊到我身邊,掏出銅鏡交給我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這個,怎麼會給我?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我沒有機會獨處,麻煩你私下轉交給『茱麗葉』。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">害怕被聽見,朵麗說得小聲,我當然知道茱麗葉的意思,是朗也喜歡的女孩子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「慢著,我根本不知道是誰啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「笨蛋,她一直在你們身邊啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">誒?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「真的假的!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是真的!不然伯太怎會鬧那麼大,我下午還得設法安撫亞述,還有,別在矮靈面前提起這件事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「知道了,銅鏡我一定轉交。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗點點頭,和亞述一起離開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">真是好生奇怪,朵麗貼著我說悄悄話,艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜毫不介意,蘭只是坐在我身邊的椅子,她們卻大發脾氣?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">話說回來,一個族長兒子,一個族長女兒,註定是個悲劇。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我看著蘭,原來那一絲絲的憂鬱是這麼回事啊!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她果然是——悲傷茱麗葉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">依著父親交代,蘭帶領我們參觀伯太木寨的每個角落,說是地下穴室,卻如同地下迷宮,有通道連接各個穴室,當然也有所謂的禁區,是不給外人看的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">接著,蘭又帶著我們離開木寨,來到臨近的古望東川大瀑布,雖然沒有彩虹瀑布的層層急湍和彩虹絕景,但是一瀉到底氣勢浩蕩,站在瀑布頂向下望,心頭興奮地怦怦跳著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">因為中午被蘭搶佔座位,艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜一直巴在我左右兩邊,這種事我倒是無所謂,只不過我一直惦記著朵麗的交代,無奈兩位揹弓矮靈女性跟隨護衛,雖然稍有距離,但也讓我們苦無機會私下轉交銅鏡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">離開大瀑布,緩步進入一處森林,說進入也不太對,只是待在森林邊緣區域,蘭解釋森林深處有巨蠎惡獸,不宜涉險,這裡有許多奇花異卉,活像個天然花園秘境,索敵發現藏著不少野兔之類的小動物,因為我們的接近而躲了起來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">相較人類世界,精靈世界的花草種類更多,不,這種形容不太正確,應該說在精靈世界,同一個區域的花草種類更多,而且開的花朵奇大,顏色更加鮮豔,看起來就像彩虹一般的大千世界,除非是人工栽植,我很少看見同一種花的花海。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭摘取數種花朵,並示範吸取花蜜的方法,我很訝異,那甜蜜的感覺,就好像小時候吃到糖果一樣開心,此外,蘭也教我們辨別數種能夠生吃入口的花朵。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">解釋之後我才明白,原來這些花朵最好吃的時機就是剛剛採下的時候,一旦帶回木寨,就會脫水失去光澤,口感會變差,花蜜也會變成甜中帶苦,所以想要享用美味,就得親自到此一遊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴太部落附近應該也有類以的『秘境』,霸木就曾說要派矮靈嚮導,我們因為趕著通報伯太有危機,才放棄參觀機會。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">之後,來到河邊附近某處,有許多大大小小冒著蒸氣的小池子,比起巴太的人工大池,伯太的溫泉小池都非常天然,小池之間有許多大岩石,可說是天然的遮蔽,不過,小而美卻容納不了太多族員共享。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭解釋說,每天來此沐浴的族員其實不多,因為氣溫較高,大部分伯太矮靈反而常到木寨附近涼快的河邊洗澡,但是巴太部落離河很遠,想方便洗澡就沒得選擇。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——太好了,在這裡就不用擔心,這麼多溫泉小池,可以選擇各自喜歡的。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜顯然對我堅持各自挑選池子的決定很不滿意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是一起泡過了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「主人明明就看過了,怎麼還是不習慣啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">或許,如果只有一個作陪,那還說得過去,但是她們在一起絕對不可能安分,艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜打起水仗,簡直就是一副春宮圖,我在野地溫泉就見識過,差點沒噴鼻血,何況那兒還有浴衣,這裡可是光溜溜啊!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜選在我隔壁池子,我自忖得小心點,她們一不小心會『跳槽』的,然而,蘭選擇的也是我另一邊的池子,但是我不在意,朵麗說過蘭就是朗也交往的女孩,既然已有心上人,就沒道理會來襲擊我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">在路上,我已經把這個訊息偷偷用心語術告訴艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜,想讓她們放心,但是她們的回答卻是——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">【還是得小心看著,叔叔說小修很會撩動少女心,不能讓蘭變心。】</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——我啥時撩動誰的少女心啊?最初摸妳耳朵那時不算,我根本不知道那裡很敏感。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——等等!是誰害得『專情』遠離了我?居然還敢這樣說,一點也不害臊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來她們提防的不是蘭,我有那麼糟糕嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭有準備擦乾身子用的大毛巾,連同脫下的衣物,一起放在池邊。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">順著大石滑入溫泉,啊~真的是太舒服啦!來到古望山脈,我最愛的就是溫泉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">溫度很剛好,稍為泡久一點也不會暈眩,水質稍有黏滯,皮膚變得潤滑,但是又不會有噁心感,非常舒服!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">反正外頭還有梅琳和兩位女性矮靈把風,我閉上眼睛,久違地關閉索敵,主要是因為三位少女都在隔壁池,實在是太靠近,索敵和親眼看到的形體差不了多少。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我衷心希望這段時間,朵麗能好好搞定亞述,讓他明天能派矮靈帶我們上古望大山,那個『祭壇』我非常感興趣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">想著想著,沉溺在這片刻的寧靜裡。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜又開始嘻鬧了,有點吵,但是我很喜歡那種歡樂氣氛。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭獨自一池,沒聽見有聲音,大概和我一樣,安靜地在享受吧!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">如果朗也喜歡別的女孩,或許還能幫上忙,但是喜歡蘭就另當別論,難度太高,蘭乖巧聽話似乎不會違抗父親,而亞述也不可能甘願把女兒交給巴太。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我能為這對情侶做些什麼?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">說服亞述嗎?本來語言溝通就已經不太順溜,更甭說要『說服』,這一點朵麗比我好上百倍,不只如此,霸木能不能接受又是另一個不小的難題。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我可以動用力量逼迫,但是之後呢?心不甘情不願的霸木和亞述會怎麼對待這對眷侶?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">莫非朗也和蘭,真的是羅密歐與茱麗葉的翻版?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">正當我專心思考之際,突然傳來噗通落水聲,思緒就這樣被打斷,心想果然艾莉絲跳糟過來了,我睜眼一看——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不是艾莉絲,出現眼前的居然是蘭,正順著岩石緩緩滑入池裡,那可是全身光溜溜呀!我趕緊轉過頭去,那不會有用的,據說美好的影像,留在腦袋裡的時間會特別久。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「啊~~~為……為什麼啊?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜皮膚白淨無瑕,是精靈的天生麗質,雖然矮靈皮膚略為黝黑,卻是富有光澤的健康原始美,即使個子稍矮,我仍然視蘭為『女性』,而且歸類於『成熟美女』,要是沒有反應就不是男人了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「泡溫泉。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我當然知道是泡溫泉,為什麼妳會到這裡啦?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我雖然轉過頭去,但是又有兩顆腦袋出現在眼前,我頭痛了!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哼~不讓我陪,原來是在等蘭嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這可不能當作沒看到,我也要過去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">來不及出聲阻止,艾莉絲就站了起來,當然,蕾菲亞娜也不可能坐視不管。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">現在,池裡多了三位少女,我無力趴在池邊背向少女,這是某種什麼修羅場嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲在蘭的右側:「妳為什麼會到這裡來?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「普魯草粉,加入溫泉,恢復體力,女生漂亮,男生強壯。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">像是跑江湖賣膏藥的台詞,我現在恢復冷靜才發現,池水確實變得稍許碧綠,淡雅香氣撲鼻,頗為類似香草浴。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭左邊的蕾菲亞娜說道:「好吧!謝謝,蘭可以回去了嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不回去,父親交待,要陪小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不對吧?不是這種『陪』吧?這可是鴛鴦浴呀!不過只能心裡想著,現在還輪不到我說話,不,我最好都別說話,沈默是金。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜繼續追問:「可是,什麼都沒穿,蘭也沒關係嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「已經看過,沒關係。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不是看過,之前至少還有穿褲裙啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「手遮住,看不到。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我覺得談這個似乎沒什麼用,精靈與矮靈的羞恥度不一樣,蘭根本沒當一回事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜似乎也明白,嘆一口氣放棄了,但是她同時似乎做了什麼事,「小修~你可以轉過頭來,這樣很難說話的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我小心地回過頭,她們三個把大毛巾披在胸前,蘭低頭看著毛巾,似乎很不習慣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾真聰明,太感謝了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「蘭~妳有喜歡的男性嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭有點不好意思,點了點頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是朗也嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭又點點頭,她果然是朗也喜歡的女孩,年齡稍有差距,也算不上什麼大礙。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「很喜歡嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「非常喜歡。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我說:「朗也說過交往是秘密,為什麼妳族員都知道了呢?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「父親要蘭,同族結合,蘭不肯,父氣生氣,逼蘭說……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「原來是逼婚啊!萬一亞述堅持反對怎麼辦?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「就算亞述願意,霸木也不見得同意,他還想把伯太趕出峽谷咧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「朗也說過,一起逃走,離開峽谷。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">對矮靈而言,離開居住地需要無比的覺悟,會做到這一步,朗也和蘭大概都清楚,想要得到親族同意,大概是希望渺茫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「為什麼妳們還不逃走?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「母親一個,很可憐,會被冷落。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我倒是知道巴太的霸木只有一個妻子,但是伯太的亞述有兩個妻子,矮靈一夫多妻很普遍,即使一妻多夫也不算異常,如果蘭逃跑了,為了報復,父親可能會只關愛另一個妻子,而冷落蘭的母親。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">突然念及友人交付,趕緊從岸邊的衣服腰袋裡掏出銅鏡,遞給艾莉絲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「這個是朗也要我們交給妳的。」艾莉絲溫柔說著,同時把小銅鏡轉交給蘭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭的表情一直很悲傷,接過銅鏡之後低頭流下眼淚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭突然扯掉大毛巾,她並非故意坦露乳房,而是如此才能把銅鏡緊貼心口,那模樣就像擁抱心愛的人,我們當然都能明白,我沒有移開視線,這兩天看多了,只是裸胸倒還不太介意,再說矮靈個頭都像中小學生,我就算害羞也不至於會挑起情慾。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我看向天空,幻想著他們要是有翅膀,就能比翼雙飛,一起離開這個紛亂之地。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲的呼喚把我拉回現實,但是——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「喂~妳們……妳們兩個為什麼也脫掉大毛巾啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜:「這樣蘭才不會不好意思,大家都不介意嘛!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">大家是誰?有包括我嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲:「不可以移開視線,你誰的都看過,卻不看我們的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗的我就沒看過——這話當然不能說出口。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">聽起來不錯,不必花時間尋找合適營地,木寨內也比較安全,不必擔心野獸夜襲。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗叉著手說:「亞述~你知道我們精靈跳的舞和矮靈不一樣吧?我可以和你們一起跳,但是不能勉強小修他們哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們決定答應亞述的邀請,留在木寨內過夜,亞述告訴朵麗再兩炷時間晚會就會開始,朵麗回說我們會在這個空檔搭營,最後亞述叫蘭跟著他走,到此,蘭陪伴我們的任務告一段落。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">營火晚會在木寨正中央,我們搭帳時,還看見許多矮靈正在準備。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">搭帳大概只要一炷時間,結束後我們席地而坐,喝水休息。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">矮靈們很客氣,甚至抬來一個大水桶放在營帳旁,注滿清水,好讓我們方便使用。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不用擔心,就算是夜襲,矮靈也沒法傷害我們,我的索敵能事先知道惡意。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我不想說出真相,因為實在是太羞恥,不知道為什麼,腦海一直浮現溫泉時的景象,是艾莉絲、蕾菲亞娜、蘭三個同時袒胸露乳的畫面,一想到我就興奮不已全身發熱。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">回到木寨前,我一次都沒想過,但是回來之後,總是不經意就想起這畫面,這種貌似色狼變態的行逕,實在苦惱,也令自己面紅耳赤,這時候如果與艾莉絲或蕾菲亞娜獨處,我絕對會忍不住用力抱住親吻。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">伯太矮靈的晚會開始了,幾乎所有的矮靈都參加。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">以營火為中心,每個家庭為單位,各自選擇一塊空地聚在一起,亞述的位置是當然主位,有矮靈先行為他擺好食物,除了亞述之外,還有他的兩位妻子,以及女兒蘭和兒子杜康,蘭和杜康是同父異母的姐弟。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們的位置與亞述相對,距離最遠,有矮靈來邀請朵麗撿選食物,我讓蕾菲亞娜陪著朵麗一同前去,帶回合適我們的水果、烤肉、菜盤等等,還有矮靈自製的水果酒,為了保持清醒,我淨挑各種果汁和茶水飲用。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我注意到有不少矮靈在抽著煙斗,在白天時我根本沒見過有矮靈抽煙,或許是很奢侈,只有晚會時才會用上。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述開始致辭,然後對著營火祈禱,族員們保持靜肅,亞述最後一聲高喊,全族矮靈也同時吶喊,晚會就此正式開始。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">亞述特別交待,我們是旁觀客座,矮靈不得隨意邀請,但是可以上前交談,並說如果我們願意,隨時可以進場參加,朵麗摩拳擦掌躍躍欲試,她既活潑又好動,而且蠻不在乎與矮靈互動接觸。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜原本文靜,選擇一旁觀看;當艾莉絲見到矮靈們會握手、擁抱和攬腰跳舞,也選擇留在原位,梅琳陪在她身旁。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒多久朵麗就離開了我們,不斷周旋在矮靈之間,熟識真是不少,看她開心大笑與矮靈互拍肩膀,我真的認為,比起在精靈村莊,她在矮靈部落會更加快樂自在,這與她的個性也很有關係。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">按理初春入夜很快就轉涼,然而我卻感到身體燥熱不止,也算不上是身體不舒服,看著晚會熱絡,心情也跟著亢奮,還有點想脫下衣服圖個涼快。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">覺得自己是怪怪的,幸好夜色昏暗,一旁的艾莉絲與蕾菲亞娜專注看著矮靈的舞蹈,並未察覺到我的異狀。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">靜不下心,我尋找著喜歡的水果與食物,填飽肚子大概會好一些吧!伯太的烤魚很美味,有某種特別的調味,完全不輸巴太的烤肉,料理最多的似乎就是魚類。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">巴太部落傍山,以山珍為主,而伯太部落夾在古望東川與古望中川之間,魚獲豐富,因此兩個部落料理手法南轅北轍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲遞來一片水果,送到我嘴邊:「小修吃看看,這個好吃。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我張嘴接下,「真的好吃,好甜,水分也多。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">艾莉絲瞇眼一笑:「我就說吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她的小臉在營火照耀下,可愛無比,我心頭一怦,情不自禁便抱住她,要不是在晚會中,我絕對會奪取她的桃唇。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修~你怎麼——」她的叫聲讓我回了神,我趕緊鬆開她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「抱歉!就覺得妳好可愛,一時忍不住就抱住了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~小修居然這麼主動,我很開心哦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看到艾莉絲的笑容,我又想起她在溫泉袒胸露乳的模樣,臉上一陣火燙,趕緊克制自己別過頭去,假裝拿起一盤烤魚。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「等沒其他矮靈,我再好好抱妳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">幸好有許多女性矮靈跑來聊天,引開了艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜的注意力。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我心中暗驚,自己真的不太對勁,自從離開里德修拉就沒有靈線交纏過,雖說也沒那個機會,但現在我卻很渴望這麼做,如果她們太靠近,就會有忍不住的衝動,抱住艾莉絲就是一時的任性而為。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">女性矮靈們的上空穿著,也是我變得怪異的原因之一,明明這兩、三天應該已經習慣才對,反而現在的我卻覺得那很色情,想移開視線卻又想多看兩眼,我暗嘆自己好像成了癡漢,而且還是個危險的變態。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜遞來一杯果汁:「小修怎麼了,一直都沒說話,太無聊的話——」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我伸手按住她的肩膀阻止著,她這樣靠近,我又是心頭一怦。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然只是猜測,我大概會抱住她,而且什麼都不管就親吻她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我沒事,那個,有點喉嚨不舒服,果汁喝不慣,我回營帳找水喝。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我陪你去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不了,妳陪小艾,那些女孩還想找妳說話吶~我喝個水休息一會就回來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好,不要太久,我會擔心的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒事的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我其實很希望她陪我回營帳,而且不要再回來,真糟糕,我快要變成禽獸了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">矮靈們的袒胸露乳也不能再看下去,雖然不知怎麼回事,但我知道自己現在很奇怪,也不能讓艾莉絲和蕾菲亞娜在我身邊,因為我不知道會做出什麼事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我保持穩定步伐走向營帳,以免被少女們發覺有異樣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——現在好像在發情一樣,真丟臉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我苦笑著喃喃自語,或許晚會太亢奮,讓自己變成這副模樣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">營帳旁那一大桶水,管不了那麼多,我直接將臉沈入水中,想要冷靜自己,冰冰涼涼的,但是臉上的炙熱感怎麼都不肯消失。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——可惡!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">直到幾乎不能呼吸才抬起了頭,腦袋卻一時暈眩,腳步不穩向後倒去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">並未如預期中的跌跤,因為我被一雙小手給扶住了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修,不舒服?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">或許是冰涼的水,暫時喚回我的知覺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「是妳啊~蘭,幫大忙了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">看她一眼便立刻轉過頭去,我現在狀況不佳,直視半裸女性肯定會有問題,尤其是蘭這樣的矮靈美女,我試圖掙脫她的扶持,卻是一個踉蹌向前倒去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">後頭嬌小的蘭,由原本的扶持轉成將我用力抱住,以免我栽了跟斗。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——太靠近了,我的嗅覺敏銳得能聞出她身上的味道,而且還是極誘惑的味道。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">難以置信,艾莉絲或蕾菲亞娜就算了,我竟然也會對矮靈有慾望。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修,不勉強,蘭扶你,營帳休息。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……拜託了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我也想趕緊躺下休息,不斷告訴自己,只是頭暈而已,休息一下就行,一定是最近太累了又熱昏了才會胡思亂想。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我比蘭高大許多,蘭得用力扶住,我閉上眼睛,不敢看到半裸的蘭,也不敢搭她肩膀,強迫自己要冷靜。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">終於,回到營帳內,蘭張開墊毯,讓我躺下休息,我仍然不敢張眼。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝謝妳!蘭~妳可以回去了,我休息一下就好。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修難受?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「有點不舒服,妳快點回去。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我必須趕她走,即使閉上眼睛,腦海裡也會浮現她袒胸露乳的羞恥模樣。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">而且,我已經不是只有臉龐火燙,而是全身都熱呼呼的,熱得我想脫掉衣服。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">混亂的程度,甚至索敵術不知何時就失去作用,通常我失去意識索敵才會自動關閉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">突然,唇瓣上有著溫潤的感覺,一個小舌尖迅速撬開我的嘴唇,舌尖相觸的一剎那,原本緊繃的身體就一陣酥軟,那正是我所渴望的,但是卻有另外一個心聲告訴自己,不對,問題大了,我渴望的才不是這個。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我睜開眼,果然是——蘭!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她在生硬地親吻我,我使力想推開,但是手才碰到她的肩膀,卻轉念想要抱住她,我的手就僵在那裡,彷彿在等待自己腦袋的明確命令。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她離開我的臉龐,臉上流著淚,她在哭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——為什麼?做這種事的明明是妳自己。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對不起……」蘭一邊哭一邊重覆著抱歉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">呃……我想喊,喉嚨卻發不出聲音。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭拭著眼淚:「小修幫我,蘭,想要孩子,為了朗也一起,拜託。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——那就和朗也有孩子啊!為什麼找上我?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我奮力起身,才起身一半,卻被蘭一把抱住而失去的力氣,蘭再次將我輕輕放下躺好。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修,不掙扎,讓蘭幫你,幫你舒服,睡一覺,明天,去祭壇。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——這不會是去祭壇的條件吧?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我眼睛模糊,卻沒有失去意識,我知道身體有感覺,全身亢奮,身體感覺很好,意識卻感覺很不好。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我知道蘭在脫我的衣服,用盡吃奶的力氣,抓住她的小手不放,這一放手,肯定會做出後悔的事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修,對不起,蘭,只要孩子,不糾纏小修,真的,對不起。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她說了好多對不起,內心肯定也很絕望,她明明要的不是我,但為什麼要我的孩子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我無法再思考,因為蘭的嘴唇再次襲來,我防禦不住,伸進嘴裡的小舌尖似乎有著某種魔力,接觸的剎那就會讓我失去思考能力,緊抓的手也完全失去力量。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">直到我完全不再反抗,蘭才移開嘴唇,並鬆開我的手,繼續脫我的衣服。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我已經沒有力氣,身體自行反應,完全不受理智控制,我想起艾莉絲,又想起蕾菲亞娜,心中吶喊對不起。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——蕾菲亞娜……契夫基……提……提蘭都納</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我卯盡全力口中喃喃唸出這幾個字。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——誓約者,靠妳了……</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「什麼?小修,說什麼?」蘭問著,我也沒力氣回答。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭不再理會,將我的上衣脫下,現在我是任她宰割。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是感覺上卻不像宰割,我甚至有點期待之後要做的事,想再親吻,更多更多……</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是,到此為止了!就在她動手脫我褲子的當下,可靠的援軍到來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「蘭!」是蕾菲亞娜的聲音。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">得救了,我第一次如此期待誓約者的來到,我好愛妳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗚……對……對不起!」是蘭邊哭邊說的聲音,之後,我再也沒聽到她的聲音。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">頓失扶持,我又躺了下來,但是又立刻被扶了起來。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">伴隨的,還有我真正期待的呼喊聲。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小修~小修~醒醒,你怎麼了?小修!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">睜開眼,我放心了,但是我似乎還是不太正常——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「謝天謝地,睜開眼,看看我,求你了!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯……沒事……我看著……小蕾好美。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我視力漸漸回復,小蕾清楚的臉龐也是流著淚,怎麼大家都在哭?可是她真的很美。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜緊抱著我,我們臉龐貼著臉龐,我也聞到她的氣味,是讓我放心的氣味,而且還是更加誘惑的氣味。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別嚇我啊!真的沒事嗎?居然還會說讓我害羞的話。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜放開了我,擔心地看著我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾……好香。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「你肯定有問題,又是呼喚我,又說奇怪的話。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜的氣味好誘惑,被她放開我好不甘心,勉強抱住她,親吻她的嘴唇,現在我不管做什麼都很用力,深怕不夠用力她就會逃走。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">親吻沒有幾秒,蕾菲亞娜推開了我,蹙著眉說:「小修好怪,平常都不會這樣。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「不行嗎?我想親……親吻小蕾!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">再次擁吻,我更加用力地抱住她,也更加熱情的親吻她,力氣似乎回來了一些,美好的感覺想要一直持續下去。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蕾菲亞娜又推開我:「等……等等,再下去……靈線就……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「拜……拜託!」我用最大力氣緊緊抱住,不斷重覆渴求的話語。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">抗拒到最後,蕾菲亞娜彷彿做出覺悟,呢喃叫著我的名字,再次唇瓣相接,沒多久,兩條靈線發光發熱,我第一次與蕾菲亞娜靈線交纏。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——謝謝妳,還有……我愛妳!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">只知道感動的洪流在我倆之間來回騰湧,我的意識終於被吞沒了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">※</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修終於睡著,睡臉很滿足,我緩緩讓他躺了下來,再次輕吻他的臉頰。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">明知他聽不見,我還是細聲說道:「這是晚安之吻,好好睡一覺吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">初嚐美妙的靈線交纏,內心激動一時難以平復,即使小艾平常總在慫恿,我也沒打算這麼快就做到這一步,扶著羞紅的臉頰,嘴角忍不住露出笑意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——誓約主人~真拿你沒辦法。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">無論如何,我都不想拒絕他的索求。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">時間回到一炷時間之前——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">今晚小修吃了不少東西,趁著晚會熱鬧大膽抱住小艾,還真是不害騷,幸好他抱的是小艾,換作我肯定是不知所措,他似乎不太舒服,說要回營帳休息喝個水。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">矮靈們好熱情,哼唱著不知名的歌曲,在鼓聲的敦促下瘋狂跳舞,我不擅長融入,卻很喜歡看著這樣的情景,也是一種享受。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——蕾菲亞娜……契夫基……提……提蘭都納</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">心中驀地響起誓約主人的呼喚,反應微弱也不對勁,雖然感受不到小修有危險,但是心裡有不詳的感覺。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾~我去看看小修,有點擔心。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我也一起去看看。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我去就好,矮靈們都在這,要麻煩小艾招呼。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好吧!有事要叫我哦~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我叫梅琳要好好陪著小艾,因為擔心,我快跑奔回營帳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">一進營帳嚇了我一大跳,蘭已經脫下小修的上衣,而且貌似還想脫下他的褲子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我大叫一聲:「蘭~」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭回頭望著我,臉上盡是淚痕,我無法理解,不知道究竟發生什麼事。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「對……對不起!」蘭抛下小修,哭著奔出營帳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">但是我顧不得蘭,趕緊抱起小修檢查狀況,沒有受傷,也沒有中毒現象,心跳呼吸急促,有意識卻似沒有力氣,他果然有問題。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我試著呼喚,小修醒了卻說著奇怪的話,他的親吻幾近是強迫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不對,小修不只是要親吻而已,他在挑逗我的靈線,我想要冷靜下來,小修卻不斷靠上來索求,明知道他不是本意,應該一拳打昏阻止他才對,但是……</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">無論如何,我都不會——也不想拒絕誓約者。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我們第一次靈線交纏,小修即使精神晃忽,仍然熟練地主導著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不幸的是,三次交纏過後,小修卻沒有停下來,仍然強烈索求著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">以誓約靈線進行交纏是投機手段,現在的小修完全遵行下意識的自我而胡亂急就章,因此交纏時間都太短,所以才不能滿足他嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">或許該找正規羈絆者小艾接手,無奈小修堅持不肯放手,雖說並非無計可施,但是成為『誓約羈絆者』令我相當猶豫。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒時間三心二意,小修的熱情再次挑動了我,不但粗魯,比起一開始力氣更大,硬是摟緊不放,彷佛表達著還要更多更多,赤裸上身的小修有種莫名的吸引力,我順從著他的蠻橫索求,比平時更加強烈地纏吻,靈線交纏太銷魂,自己似乎也不正常了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">心中暗嘆,我自暴自棄地撤除防守,打算與小修進行第二次締結靈線。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">仰賴彼此的愛侶誓言,我的壓箱寶羈絆靈線從心口探出,緩緩加入交纏中的兩條誓約靈線裡頭。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修兩眼無神,卻似乎知道即將發生的事,貪婪又乾脆地把我的羈絆靈線給締結了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">果然用羈絆靈線交纏更加激情,交纏時間也拉長許多,他的表情越來越溫柔,漸漸願意放開了我。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">滿足的小修終於完全放鬆,懷裡的睡相可愛得令我不捨離開,看來已經回復正常,這才放心讓他躺下。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">已經再無保留,但是感覺很美妙,這份回憶要好好珍藏。</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我有點生氣,有些事情必須代替主人認真思考。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">蘭到底在做什麼?如果我沒聽到呼喚,真不敢想像會變成什麼樣子。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小修也是,為什麼無法反抗?被下迷藥嗎?又是什麼時候被下藥的?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不對,應該不是迷藥,他不但沒失去意識,而且還與我靈線交纏到最後,據說索求的力道與潛意識的期盼成正比,念及此處,我情不自禁驕傲地笑了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">晚會還在繼續,矮靈們沒有異樣,唯一不正常的也只有蘭而已。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">而且,蘭為什麼會說『對不起』?難不成她愛上了小修?才半天時間而已啊!她愛的應該是朗也才對,更何況,愛上不同種族可沒那麼簡單。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">可惡~還真是擅長撩惹少女心,我偷偷捏弄一把那天真的睡顏。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——這是懲罰!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">睡熟的小修居然笑了。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">——我在生氣,你卻在做好夢,真可惡!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">第一次靈線交纏是在這種情況下,也讓我有點無奈,應該要更浪漫一點才對。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">雖然約定有事就要通知小艾,但是現在的小修毫無防範,我不敢隨意離開。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">又過一炷時間,外頭聲音漸小,晚會也差不多結束。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">心中問號一堆,但我現在要做的,就是守護小修。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小艾回來了,和梅琳、朵麗一起回到營帳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾——誒,小修睡著了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒想到小修這麼早睡。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">並不是這樣——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我把經過說了一遍,包括小修的『強吻』,因為朵麗也在,靈線交纏那段暫且略過,一般是不可能會相信能與多位伴侶締結靈線,這是精靈的鐵律。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗吃驚叫道:「主人居然強吻女僕——不對,小蕾很強,為什麼不阻止小修啊!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我無所謂,讓主人平靜下來最重要,而且他也不是故意的。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗搔著頭:「小艾妳不生氣?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先不說這個,事情怎麼會這樣?」小艾和我一樣,心中盡是謎團。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「大概是矮靈的某種藥物,讓小修發情了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可惡,我要拆了這個木寨,埋了那些地洞。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾先冷靜,我也很生氣,但是除了蘭,其他矮靈都很正常。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「最起碼先確定身體沒事。」朵麗打量著小修的狀況。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「沒事的,他的身體我最清楚!」我試著分擔傷害卻沒有效果,表示小修並未受傷。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「啊——妳說什麼最清楚?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我出口太急,小艾偷偷瞄眼示意:「小蕾的意思是她懂得護理,知道小修沒事啦!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此,先別把事搞大,等小修醒來,問個清楚再做打算。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我贊成朵麗的提議——梅琳~今晚麻煩小心警戒,小修的索敵大概沒法使用,小蕾也幫我一起照顧小修。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">梅琳輕嗥一聲回應,我頷首同意。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小艾交代後還是擔心,靠近著觀察鼻息心跳,又在心口施術檢查,最後還摸額頭測溫,因為很接近,小修突然兩手抱住她。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">毫無防備的小艾,一抱一扯之間,就這樣吻上了小修。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我和朵麗都嚇了一跳,其實小修並沒有醒來,很明顯睡得十分深沉。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小艾紅著臉推開,把小修的手放好:「還真的會『強吻』咧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">朵麗睜大眼緩緩倒退兩步:「靈劍士好厲害,睡著了也能來這一招,幸好檢查的不是我,這肯定躲不了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這跟靈劍士一點關係都沒有,平常睡著也不會如此。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">小艾:「暫且,似乎是沒有問題。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「先好好休息,小修醒來請務必叫上我。」朵麗離開之後,我讓梅琳也到外頭警戒。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「我們也睡吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾等等,我剛剛沒有全部說出來。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哦?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那個……小修不肯停下……最後靈線交纏了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~很美好,對吧?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可是我很生氣,小修大概不知道自己做過什麼。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「如果是藥物迷惑,是有這種可能。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「要不是我趕回來,小修和蘭無法靈線交纏,不知會做到什麼地步。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「光是想像就很不堪,蘭這麼做背後應該有原因。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「可惡,小修好粗魯,我的第一次居然就這樣……」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「別生氣嘛!萬一小修記不得,再來一次就好了。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「哼~他要是記不得,我也要忘掉這回事!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「今晚就睡小修兩旁,他一醒我們就會知道。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾才不會知道,每次都被小修掙脫。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嘿~好像是這樣,但是小蕾會知道吧!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">沒錯,我比小修更敏感,他醒來之前我就會知道,此時,睡著的小修又露出傻笑,到底是在做什麼夢呀!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">睜開眼睛,我坐在沙發上,誒!好眼熟——是南宮家的客廳,怎麼回事?平常的書包就在桌上,我回到人類世界了嗎?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">想站起來,卻是全身無力動彈不得!我大聲呼喊——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「萍姐!」沒回應。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小艾!」為什麼不在身邊?好擔心!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「小蕾!」不是到生命最後一天都要在一起嗎?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">這是夢嗎?可是每樣東西看起來都如此真實,抑或精靈世界才是個夢?</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「人類小修,晚安!」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">剎那間我明白了一切:「希緹麗亞小姐,很高興再次見面。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞從旁廳走了出來,穿的是萍姐的紅色禮服。她會出現,表示這裡是潛意識之中,沒想到佈景居然是南宮家,以往都是類似宇宙太空的深邃黑暗空間。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「汝之故鄉甚是有趣,四處走動遊覽,稍為來遲,真是抱歉。」</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">她走到我的前方,因為我起不來,她便蹲下來對話:「非也!此乃汝所創造,因緣某事,便出現此景。無妨,吾甚感趣味。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">萍姐那件高叉禮服實在太性感,之所以印象深刻,是因為連我這個弟弟都會小鹿亂撞,當初她就是故意穿來戲弄我的,希緹麗亞身高體型與蕾菲亞娜相當,這麼蹲著,胸前春光更是誘惑,我雖然動不了,也是會害羞臉紅,最糟糕的是,我居然會想抱她、想親吻她、還想撲倒她,她分明只是一段記憶而已。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞嫣然一笑,我看得心頭怦然一跳。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~汝有邪念!欲觸摸吾之身軀?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「的確會想,真對不起!我平常不是這樣,今天很奇怪,總是想著色色的事。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞總算起身坐在沙發上,感謝~繼續蹲著,我可是會想入非非。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「汝之所思,吾心皆知!汝受情藥影響,大半感官消失,慾望卻是提昇數倍。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「慾望嗎?情藥聽起來好像是……春藥?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「毋須擔心,誓約者已解危,藥效殘存甚少。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「蕾菲亞娜嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「靈龍服侍君側,既是護衛又似愛妾,人類小修甚為有福。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「那是運氣實在太好——」難得希緹麗亞出現,得抓緊時機:「可以請教我要怎麼回家嗎?回到人類世界,回到這個家。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">希緹麗亞嘆了口氣:「早有明示,吾</span><span style="font-family: "arimo"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">未有方法將汝返回。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arimo"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">「</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">希緹麗亞知道</span><span style="font-family: "arimo"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">『神』或是『歐特丘茲』嗎?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arimo"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「虛渺之物只存於心,精靈世間無鬼無神,『歐特丘茲』並非原本精靈世間之物,吾亦不知其詳。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arimo"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">「唉~</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">希緹麗亞也不知道,好可惜!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">「既已提起,吾再提示一道:里德修拉亦有</span><span style="font-family: "arimo"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">『歐特丘茲』!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arimo"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">「等,歐特丘茲不只一個?</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">希緹麗亞是萬年以前的精靈,怎麼會知道近千年的事?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「呵~非吾自身經歷,吾宿於精靈樹,見識往來精靈,聽其傳言見其所書,久而久之,如同遊覽大千世界。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「原來如此!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「嗯——汝之意識即將回歸,幸哉!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「好快~又要說再見,下次見面不知會是何時。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「此乃君之期待?」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「見過幾次面,有點像朋友的感覺。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞走到我面前又是嫵媚一笑:「靈龍守護小修,汝拯救子民,做為甚好,此乃小小報酬,並解汝之情慾。」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">帶著惡作劇的神情,美麗精靈的臉龐靠了上來,簡直就像是在誘惑一樣,然而我卻心跳加速期待著。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">「吾之初次,請務必心懷感激!」</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">希緹麗亞說罷扶頰親吻上來,一上來就是緊貼濃厚的深吻,我乾脆閉眼享受,為什麼今天我都是順其自然來者不拒?真是情藥的影響嗎?我一點都不記得有吃過那種藥物。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">而且,說是初次卻如此熟練?唇舌交融的觸感,滲入鼻息的體香,非常熟悉!</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">不對,這個熟悉——</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">我絕對不曾與希緹麗亞親密接觸,就因為閉上眼睛所以才會感覺到熟悉,我嚐試舌尖深入輕點,希緹麗亞全身顫動,欲拒還迎的反應和蕾菲亞娜如出一轍。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">原來如此,熟練的手法大概是從我的記憶而來,她找上蕾菲亞娜當作範本。</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">意外地,一會之後,與希緹麗亞的親吻遠離了男女情慾,毫無褻瀆意圖,只有如同母親與襁褓的幸福氣氛,內心緩緩平靜,睡意漸漸沈重……</span></span></div>
