咚！聲，清脆、空洞的水滴聲回盪在我的骨髓間，激起陣陣刺麻漣漪，讓我的意識形同灼日下遠方的海市蜃樓，飄渺虛無。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFnTLNqC2j
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIthp7Wg7k
　　直到它嘴鼻透出的血腥臭味薰醒我，激起我的危機感。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5HAETBwTC
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjtZz2hIUZ
　　急忙睜眼，僅見一團毛茸茸的黑影掠奪走我所有視界。而那似劍利牙已然架上我纖細、發毛的脖子。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt8waVohSI
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRq17FEmwI
　　幾近本能般地，我隨手抓起任何能夠攻擊的東西，不管三七二十一，直往它襯著夜月的紅色大眼刺去。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL6unnFcQD
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1kMHhqIOu
　　頓時，濃稠液體四濺，染滿我上半身。溫暖到發燙的液體如件毛衣，套在我因驚嚇而失溫的身軀上。但鏽鐵的臭味實在教人難以忍受。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsecTW8VKr

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH4wvqfFiF
　　搖搖頭，平緩喘氣，被突如其來攻擊所分離的迷濛意識逐漸回到腦袋，我也漸漸看清這凶猛的襲擊者是誰。那是深山的霸者，森林的猛獸－－飛雪熊。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSV3gt0tsqr
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzGQmuevzc
　　寒月越過後方鐘塔，悄悄灑下慘白銀光，連同冬風一起掀開飛雪熊的漆黑容貌。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjR9RIbMSN
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7dKMjxomn
　　它的軀體好比百年榕樹粗壯，直立時少說有二尺半。最讓人寒顫直竄腦後的是，它背後兩塊高聳似鋼鐵建起的壯碩背肌，沒有任何東西能夠經得起它奮力一擊。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX22R7xkIf
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTbPl48YFY
　　發散炙熱蒸氣的滴滴鮮血流入飛雪熊因痛張大的血盆大口，裡頭尖牙像謹守秩序的士兵整齊排列，各個精壯銳利，誰都不會想碰上它們。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDIoqf8cLZ

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PECTWdVL3
　　帕布魯村的大家雖曾歷經十年前色雷斯公國所引發的生死關頭，但他們依舊只是無力的農民。別說拿劍，他們連人都沒揍過。他們行使暴力的唯一時機，就只有在牧羊犬沒有乖乖將牛羊趕進農舍時，會敲牧羊犬的頭以示懲戒。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvE4Ny2hYD

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfZgFJ9nzM

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dT4aAqdA7
　　就在這時，眼下一個異狀讓我彷彿被惡魔的低語操控般，忽視身後危險，不自禁地輕輕撥開路克臉頰兩旁已快脫落的紗布。想要確認這兩塊始終緊貼在他臉龐的紗布下，究竟深藏著什麼秘密。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HJKe2KukC
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YkCjmX2Qp

　　我咬牙，硬吞下心頭冒現的重重疑惑。抱緊陷入深度昏迷的路克，一個前滾，勉強避開疾速落下的利爪，地面因而被挖出五道傷痕；抱人躲開攻擊，僅右小腿被劃開一道不深的爪痕，已算是不幸中的大幸。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7gs4nwtuz
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhigLEDi02
　　見前面鐘塔小屋窗戶開著，我便把暈眩的路克丟入房內，轉身、抽劍，迎戰飛雪熊。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HpBNASW9I

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QqE6f4t93
　　不知何種原因，飛雪熊看到出鞘的長劍，鼻頭隆高皺起更多山巒，層層疊疊直往頭頂爬去，連短小的耳朵也如狂風侵襲般斜後拉直。飛雪熊瞪大僅剩的單眼，咧嘴顯露滿滿白刃牙齒，身上毛皮恍若怒火燃燒，左右搖擺，怒不可竭。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD00WZBWdW
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOB5JnKMAI

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9noqsW61l
　　此刻已屏息的我，簡直能夠一一清點耳裡迴盪的心跳聲，看透飛雪熊一根根飛舞的細毛，直擊來的飛爪自然不必多說。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ7ob5FEUZ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwYrDpsHij
　　造成這種情狀的原因不在於我的視力有多異於常人，而是因為，這一切都照我的預期發展。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q8KW2rvHp
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSZZpmW7v3
　　腳尖踏上泥土，我旋即使出猛力，抓緊飛雪熊攻擊空隙，直取它胸口，平斬。鮮紅頓時噴出。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNUmygO9A6
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1EqRxbiY3
　　爾後我順著奮力斬出的劍勢俐落轉身，再補上一腳在飛雪熊印有清晰Ｘ字型的肚子上，藉此往前方飛躍，越過它壯碩的右臂，二度拉大33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbigwwCiPI

　　動物終究還是動物。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfOpQp61g5
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCUCwNQtxc
　　這一念頭才浮高，飛雪熊立刻展現出動物比人還要強悍的體能。它不顧胸口砍深的劍傷，壓低身軀，引爆四肢的火藥，活像攻城槌般向33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXoIUqoSK5
　　仍未重整架勢的我直襲。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWK4ziyB3W

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zheF0XqGo
　　再一次側翻，我驚險避過衝撞。這次又被撞到可不是暈個幾十秒這麼簡單。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpERJIx96XT
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYug7BfKNB
　　沒想到飛雪熊頭也不回地，直直衝進鐘塔的底部，劇烈撞擊力道折斷鐘塔三支支柱，鐘塔應聲崩塌，木塊四散。而後銅鐘－－告死天使33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9dASgXJbx
　　－－沉厚鐘聲響徹雲端。於此期間，我是連滾帶爬，急忙把還置身鐘塔下小屋的路克抱出，然後才躲得遠遠的，靜靜目送鐘塔的倒塌。可沒有見死不救。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyhZC6sGuw
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMBFN9J1Sk
　　待鐘塔崩塌激起的塵埃逐漸落地，我終於能夠放下緊繃的心情；闖入村莊的飛雪熊，已經永遠沉睡在那堆木片廢墟下了。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjApIh0fIz
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRXroRV4VF

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAw5I3llRJ
　　「我先不提，傷比我重的路克他有沒有事？」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7FiszJTfh
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE81p6Q8rYY
　　挑高眉毛，咵特似乎對我的疑問感到相當詫異。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g063JXFTe
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9rH7cmNhl
　　「別擔心，妳看那小子雖然個頭小，但骨頭可比別人硬朗，不過是被飛雪熊一掌打飛，最多暈個幾天，過陣子就沒事了。放心、放心。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoDRNcDnxD
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QhqjCkln2
　　咵特一派輕鬆的語氣，根本看不出來他是帕布魯村唯一的醫生，該有的悲憫是沉到酒甕去了嗎。不過，回想以往路克在挨了我的拳擊或是踢擊後，還能生龍活虎的爬上爬下，咵特會這麼說也不無道理。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGgShRILqe
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvQGCKTdLW
　　現在，路克既然沒事，那意味著我必須把早先的發現講出來才行－－路克臉頰上，刺有代表色雷斯公國的尖齒輪型刺青。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2EvIVQvYa
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5lY5Nzy5N
　　先前我對路克某些怪異舉止就抱持某種程度的戒心。撇開他老愛三天兩頭就跑來對我示愛，又有被虐狂癖好外，他最為怪異的一點在於，每天深夜一到他便會到村外郊區遊盪，並且唸唸有詞跟自己展開對話。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeiDi6ZUR6
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqevv4xCEfn
　　說不定，他夜晚的行動是在跟潛伏的軍隊通風報信。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjF1t1rM4l
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOfAfmniIW
　　「哎呀呀。」工匠哈特走出人群，困擾的搔動頭上雜髮，紅通通的酒意還留在兩頰，「沒想到會壞得這麼徹底。連想修補的機會都沒有。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbewpY8LWA
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMFlZDGKBS
　　「抱歉。」我說著，「不光害鐘塔塌毀，還讓告死天使也摔壞了。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguwp2VtKZ5
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOms2yzL0tK
　　「不，我說的是鐘塔。那些木材已經摔得四分五裂，只能當材燒，這是它們最後能做的事了。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGuFgHKg92

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniH91dyjAR
　　聽哈特說話總讓人感到疲憊，縱然因粗重工作而練出滿身肌肉，可是他說話起來卻是相當快速又饒舌。往往只要一個閃神，你就會跟不上他的步調。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm9HLmoxG0
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2JOrgzajt
　　「到是冬季應該在深山覓食的飛雪熊，為什麼會突然下山攻擊村莊？」結束包紥，咵特收好醫療箱站起時，提起這點疑問。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULUpxpZ3nK
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb1FmeXOCc
　　「嗯？熊在冬季不都該冬眠的嗎？」我反問。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kiL3fDMqk
同時身兼畜牧、獸醫與醫生等三職的咵特回道：33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlfOQfL1Mu
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkInx1E2CU0
　　「如果是一般的熊，確實早在冬眠了。但是，飛雪熊比較特別，牠們在冬季會一面狩獵食物，一面在巢穴附近的樹上留下咬痕代表自己的地盤，並在找到未來的另一伴後才會進入冬眠。等春季一到，吃飽睡足的飛雪熊會直接跟睡在同個巢穴的另一伴交配。這段期間，牠們都會在深山裡度過。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhRsE83wqz
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKaZNT2MN3
　　聽咵特詳細的生態解說，我不禁發出讚嘆。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAMnR0fQtQ

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMCAbbxjWj
　　「沒、沒什麼啦。就只是一隻熊而已嘛。」轉著頭髮，我答道。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgE5Gbwh9T
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfmhX6YiR0
　　「可是反過來想想。」不識相的哈特在這時偏偏硬要多嘴，「一位能打贏熊的女士，在騎士試選會敗卻給騎士團裡排行最差的人。薇亞莉，妳到底是弱，還是強呢？這就好像天空傳來轟轟雷聲，以為快要下起暴雨，最後掉下來的卻是一坨鳥糞……咚嘻嘻！」哈特說完還自個兒傻笑，相當滿意自己的譬喻。這連帶四周的人牆也發出陣陣笑聲。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO04TWqSST
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4gcfF31x9
　　「我是鳥糞嗎？」噘嘴，很是不滿的我直瞪向哈特。心裡早先的歡欣已被吹熄到只剩羞却。葛葉姐在這時悄然走到我身邊，輕輕磨蹭著，像在安慰我。將她抱在懷中，我逗弄她的下巴。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSvAqVitjp
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUwmgxAvL9
　　就只有葛葉姐懂得我。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC6G9Mr9Qx

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHXu6IpkGm
　　渾身肌肉的哈特直抓我腰際，輕而易舉地將我抬高，讓我在地面順利站直。但，這右小腿的傷實在沒有嚴重到需要別人出手攙扶。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeP7arDP8n
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo3KDxtZxi
　　「謝、謝謝……。」我支支唔唔說著。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBSl22empg
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7pYfcZynF
　　「不用謝啦。回家後，記得早點休息，這才是對我的真正謝禮啦。」說完，哈特大聲拍手，提高音量，「薇亞莉沒事，各位也回去休息吧。這片廢墟等到明天清晨再處理。還有，該去站哨的人千萬別忘記自己的職責。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6WUwgXe3f
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOVH0dX92w

　　「各位等等。」我出聲阻止眾人回家的步伐。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw7NqXfxdz
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrZxV2n8p4
　　「怎麼了嗎？」離我最近的咵特問。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquQiPd26Ap
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmZ0pipxrI

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClheVHiAFL

33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVyb4e9vNp

　　「沒關係，去吧。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKOwxfvQ6H
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLQ5OGw51M
　　哈特點點頭，向咵特問了目前路克的位置後，便去把路克抱過來。這時他慘澹無血色的臉龐上，原已脫落的紗布又緊貼回去了。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs6zF1hE01
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7KmHqIVyR

　　「那麼，我要撕開囉。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF6VJWvCtr
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHPOKQ3HIS
　　挾住紗布一角，蹲在路克一旁的我回望身後，差點沒被嚇死。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl4wO0Gthm
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUTgaQhyUc
　　村民一個接過一個將頭緊臨在一塊，畫出一圈疊一圈圓型鱗片狀，僅留正中央讓月亮將光打入其中。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQHijIH4zj
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZi1VnKM6P
　　給無數對白眼直瞪，我掛著僵硬笑容，慢慢回過頭，重新直視路克。緊張氣息毫不客氣地直往我背上壓，連我也跟著心跳加速。噗咚！噗咚！33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMPPrCTn7w
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u9WX4t18x
　　吸口氣，我快速撕下紗布，深藏其中的秘密瞬間揭曉。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgf1MA6JTo
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehPNYMeOk3
　　咦？33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo9cQ2DlDa
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ1tSASCFJ
　　路克臉上寫的幾個大字立即掉落我的眼簾：「我愛薇亞莉。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIldLB99S3X
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOYXOcdhNJ
　　怎麼可能？33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPjHldlO2A
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbHhByxNfU
　　再撕開另一側旁的紗布，同樣寫著：「薇亞莉我的最愛。」33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtNTP3NqdY
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o5nPHiQTF
　　此結果當場引來一場哄堂大笑，原先圍成圈圈的人群一個接一個，紛紛笑倒在地上，像朵花綻放似地。對此，我用以拍響一個巴掌的力道，將路克臉上始終貼住的紗布歸位。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXWepsXuoA
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqpwNNwq9u
　　「等等！剛剛分明不是這個樣子的！」站起身，我燙紅著臉，努力為自己辯駁。33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WfF1IApFG
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4syemacpV
