46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ozXa3fevg
夜深了，索爾‧范‧埃里斯將軍帶領的軍隊在河邊紮營，明天，他們就會抵達人類城鎮：春水城。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzisXvOSd5a
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYFLOxC7zF
士兵們升起營火。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34SOYHFJic
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8H3UMYOCb
火能驅趕猛獸、烹煮食物，也在只剩蟲鳴與河流奔騰聲的夜晚裡，為人類供給溫暖與安全感；晚餐告一段落，不知道是誰先提議，士兵們把關在囚車裡的少女精靈拉下來，擁促到營火旁，叫她們唱歌跳舞。人類對精靈有種刻板印象，好像他們男的都是弓箭手、女的都是歌妓。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPrL6LbZZn
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoTbnz0Gdm
少女精靈們從十歲到十六歲不等，她們握著彼此的手，縮在一起，又驚又恐，從小在部落呵護下長大的她們，哪受過這種羞辱？46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL7cDw4Vjo
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGnuLy9elS
遠離營火的樹下，一位黑髮精靈仍被銬著鎖鍊，兩名士兵在旁看守，他捧起樹洞下的積水，小口地喝，背對自己的族人。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhi3OMXai6
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3W7ETFCHe
鼓譟的聲音越來越大，士兵們的情緒越發浮躁，女精靈驚嚇的模樣成了另類的感官刺激，一名士兵把青色髮的少女精靈，拉到懷裡猛親，那名女精靈放聲尖叫、拳打腳踢，士兵煩躁地甩了她一巴掌，把她打回同伴身邊。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV9pmKgY10
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyGpwSpjxe
其他女精靈扶起她，每個精靈都哭了。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP8e0m4GeC
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfg4Sfcrot
士兵們聽到那嗚嗚咽咽的聲音，更加不耐煩，這群精靈無法「娛樂」他們就算了，還製造「麻煩」？46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDMKAWNLQW
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfq3zFX8OO

被關在囚車裡的男精靈們也大聲呼喊那個名字：黑琴！黑琴！黑琴！46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGOsqtow41
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZIqOSAy3u
黑琴，彷彿他是他們唯一的希望，精靈族的救星。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFy09Z8pnV
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ckFtz1CDz
叫喊的氣勢讓人類士兵愣住了，搞不懂這群髒兮兮的尖耳朵在發什麼神經。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemvzVandlH

這時，索爾探出帳棚。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3dOEz6XVQ
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzR0IYRSz4
「你們在吵什麼？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AOrOKMXZr
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1APRflmiPJ
叫喊聲不減反增，樹下的精靈突然用身體撞向看守鎖鍊的士兵，並抽出對方的劍、衝到索爾面前！索爾的侍衛拔劍應戰，營火旁的士兵們都傻了，他們不把精靈的戰鬥力放在眼裡，但那名精靈展露出的速度與爆發力，宛如孤注一擲的獵豹。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9wcPowl6A
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtIsKu7BRS
精靈沒有持劍攻擊索爾，而是將劍橫抵在自己脖子上。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9p8290mI9
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEcuQf0qQE
「叫你的人從今以後不許碰任何精靈！」他的聲音不大、不高不抗，但宛如發號施令的將領，堅冷如冰，「否則你拖回主城的，將是一具死屍！」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50IpX1dpo1
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QgkY4mgys
精靈們的哭聲一個接著一個消失，他們望著他，無聲地流下淚水。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvvM170P1d
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1qqez1UUL
索爾的侍衛用眼神詢問將軍，先前叫女精靈歌舞的士兵們，見到此僵持，紛紛道：46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBiAN5HO9B
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbFVz41vHr
「大人，我們只是開玩笑……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qY7HgChmZ

「大人！大人……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaG1glWWb2u

抵住脖子的劍並未鬆手，反而更壓進。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNw8CkX2hu
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJvUmbAVw8
「好了。」索爾開口，止住士兵們的吵鬧，語調是一反常態的輕鬆：「你們都聽到了，沒我的命令，從今以後不准碰精靈，把她們趕回囚車，熄火睡覺，明早還要趕路。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ccTTGtdY2
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYAVzUCtCE
索爾的命令讓士兵們面面相覷，他的近身侍衛把女精靈們抓回囚車後，便站在一旁看守，不許任何人靠近，精靈放下長劍、丟回給身後的士兵。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobz0tf6YV7
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgoSiYGB47
「原來你叫黑琴。」索爾的心情大好，他搶過士兵手中的鎖鍊，瞪了對方一眼，彷彿在指責對方沒看好精靈，把兩名士兵嚇得皮皮挫，「進來吧。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsdEUFTyjJ
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55m9HV7ooc
索爾把黑琴拉到自己的營帳。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlyeVVBO93
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtNFJBijiU
帳內有簡單的行軍床和行李，碳火和熱水烘暖空氣，折疊式矮桌上放著吃到一半的晚餐，索爾在矮桌旁席地而坐。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ75mFxJYjW
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh18DG54MMx
「吃過了嗎？」他把啃了一半的雞腿丟到精靈腳邊，但精靈看都不看，他自討沒趣，「你呀，就這麼確定我會救你？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZ6PWwJhav
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedh888vUJn
精靈站在索爾面前，反而使坐著的索爾覺得自己矮人一截。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLLXoXrHIo
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIEpktBDO3
索爾吃不下了，他丟下刀叉：「你還有什麼把戲沒使出來？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt8eYklAft
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0OlgnjR1A
「你在招兵買馬。」綠眸讓整句話成為肯定，「你想推翻你的國王。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W3Ptdyk8z
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEr2bKzdrE
索爾躍起，抽出配劍，直指精靈，「飯能亂吃，話不能亂說啊。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOgaRbbNQV
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmu3J7shKT
「……」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBUSQZX3vz
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGT2fYVC4r
「你還是說話好了，」索爾收回配劍，改坐在行軍床上，高度提升，他發現精靈的口音、或說是腔調，特別動聽，宛如從遙遠的山邊傳來，幽幽蕩蕩，「小聲一點。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1X4doZ0AW
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6RmMOPTbM
精靈走到索爾面前，雙手的鎖鍊拖垂在地，沒有士兵拉住，他是能跑的，但他知道跑是徒勞，人類只要騎馬就能追上他，屆時，他不確定眼前的人類將軍會不會饒他一命，保住自己的性命，是他的當務之急。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pasvh0EZk
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqzdWRttNX
「你的結論從哪來的？我想聽聽你的想法。」索爾打量著精靈，精靈彷彿帶著面具，讓他看不透那雙眼的真心，沒有恐懼、沒有憤怒，精靈異常安靜。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuqIqiGCFN
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWQs3HsHhg
「你剛剛會幫我，不只是英雄惜英雄，你要我……為你做事。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPrTG7ksfi

「很多人類都這麼做啊。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41pyNtVm7D
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN6nHQDWEL
「你以為生活在森林裡的精靈，會知道千里之外的人類家系有多偉大？你的舉動顯示你是個霸道、傲慢、自大、好大喜功、炫耀權勢、恨不得所有人知道你是誰的人！」精靈越講越大聲、越憤怒，他呼吸急促、目光激動，索爾呆掉了，「你有社會地位、有錢、有軍階，這樣的男人……」精靈深吸一口氣，恢復冷靜，「會甘心屈居第二？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvATlB4gGt
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DX1hGXSwH
索爾佩服這精靈，他不只強，還很聰明，懂推理的腦袋和俐落的舌頭，可比讓人流血的刀劍更厲害，「我還有一個漂亮老婆，她是國王的表姊，我老覺得她是皇室派來監視我的。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsYqhPvvCl

46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E6v25NpZm
「我開始懷疑你不是精靈，而是人類了。」索爾開玩笑，精靈雙眸一眨，彷彿想起了什麼。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGEHoxYsma
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSzQivpTta
「這幾天，我聽到不少關於你們國王的事，他並不……得人心。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovuXiTR9Di
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvdHnU0htC
「在人類社會，只要你老子是國王，你就會是國王，你是國王，你兒子也會是國王，這叫『世襲制度』，聽懂嗎？」索爾的語氣裡，帶著不滿。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzTBVBPvaV
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAexYJMVh5
「我們部落不是這樣的。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GAu85Cg2i

「喔？那你們的『國王』打哪來？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDwkoXPy1p
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq16CFsO78X
「我們得證明自己的實力，才能獲得相應的職位，『族長』是全族推選，二十歲以上的精靈每人一票，二十歲到十六歲每人半票，每屆推選三位，由得票數最高的精靈擔任，四年一輪，不分男女。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUww2PVWnr
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Td8tOqCuQ
「所以……族長的兒子不會是族長。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr0R8siuIl

「不會，除非他證明自己夠資格，有族人願意追隨他。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyy7nudHF1
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPTUCeTJev
「嗯……」索爾摸著下巴起身，他比精靈高壯，精靈後退後了幾步，「作法很奇怪，但證明實力這點，我認同。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9DlFcVeud
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFhT3zHcLB
索爾對精靈一笑，撿起地上的鎖鍊。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQsHW3JtkB
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VrqH5pqCe
「你比我當初認為的還有價值。」鎖鍊一拉，精靈往前跌，索爾單臂接住他，聲音壓低在他耳邊：「我要做的是『叛國』，成功了，我與你共享權勢與榮耀，你部落那套作法，我可以參考看看……不成，你也難逃一死。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhQRulcQ26
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPsvW9j6RM
精靈僵硬地轉頭，眸子對上人類，「你早該殺了我。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9AguWvB7A
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtNL5BG04V
索爾把精靈丟在地上，精靈吃痛地咳了幾聲、黑髮蓋住臉。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQc0cFIhta
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRPoKVX7ix
「來人！」索爾一喊，兩名近衛跑進帳內，索爾把鎖鍊交給他們，「帶走。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueoOZrNoDa

隔天行軍，索爾要那名劍被搶走的士兵把馬讓給精靈，並在旁邊替精靈牽馬。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5VzNC62TX
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVjO1LePw9
士兵顏面掃地，他的同袍在後面笑，他則不斷對精靈投以恨不得殺死他的目光；精靈無動於衷，因為這小小的「恨」，跟他部落被屠、族人被辱比起來，根本不算什麼46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5cLsIG6xb

46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6RmMOPTbM
精靈走到索爾面前，雙手的鎖鍊拖垂在地，沒有士兵拉住，他是能跑的，但他知道跑是徒勞，人類只要騎馬就能追上他，屆時，他不確定眼前的人類將軍會不會饒他一命，保住自己的性命，是他的當務之急。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pasvh0EZk
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqzdWRttNX
「你的結論從哪來的？我想聽聽你的想法。」索爾打量著精靈，精靈彷彿帶著面具，讓他看不透那雙眼的真心，沒有恐懼、沒有憤怒，精靈異常安靜。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuqIqiGCFN
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWQs3HsHhg
「你剛剛會幫我，不只是英雄惜英雄，你要我……為你做事。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPrTG7ksfi
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNUxLcpDyL
「不錯。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrTNXtiJjQ
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S3Xpyz1IJ
「其次，你在介紹你自己時，報上你的家族。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYHMoXoK1W
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIiFPifBrl
「很多人類都這麼做啊。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41pyNtVm7D
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN6nHQDWEL
「你以為生活在森林裡的精靈，會知道千里之外的人類家系有多偉大？你的舉動顯示你是個霸道、傲慢、自大、好大喜功、炫耀權勢、恨不得所有人知道你是誰的人！」精靈越講越大聲、越憤怒，他呼吸急促、目光激動，索爾呆掉了，「你有社會地位、有錢、有軍階，這樣的男人……」精靈深吸一口氣，恢復冷靜，「會甘心屈居第二？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvATlB4gGt
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DX1hGXSwH
索爾佩服這精靈，他不只強，還很聰明，懂推理的腦袋和俐落的舌頭，可比讓人流血的刀劍更厲害，「我還有一個漂亮老婆，她是國王的表姊，我老覺得她是皇室派來監視我的。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsYqhPvvCl
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbWBCC3A7r
「你的家族和國王是對立的。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnHDVqwT2Y
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7SSGbkCUh
「你要這麼說也行。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmnLDXGJg8
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh3hirDoyn
「你是將軍……你為你的國王打仗，你又想推翻他，代表你認為這一屆的國王實力不如你，你有勝算。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUyBHg8aFC
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E6v25NpZm
「我開始懷疑你不是精靈，而是人類了。」索爾開玩笑，精靈雙眸一眨，彷彿想起了什麼。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGEHoxYsma
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSzQivpTta
「這幾天，我聽到不少關於你們國王的事，他並不……得人心。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovuXiTR9Di
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvdHnU0htC
「在人類社會，只要你老子是國王，你就會是國王，你是國王，你兒子也會是國王，這叫『世襲制度』，聽懂嗎？」索爾的語氣裡，帶著不滿。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzTBVBPvaV
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAexYJMVh5
「我們部落不是這樣的。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GAu85Cg2i
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFdOnw031U
「喔？那你們的『國王』打哪來？」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDwkoXPy1p
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq16CFsO78X
「我們得證明自己的實力，才能獲得相應的職位，『族長』是全族推選，二十歲以上的精靈每人一票，二十歲到十六歲每人半票，每屆推選三位，由得票數最高的精靈擔任，四年一輪，不分男女。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUww2PVWnr
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Td8tOqCuQ
「所以……族長的兒子不會是族長。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr0R8siuIl
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaNb8CPoCM
「不會，除非他證明自己夠資格，有族人願意追隨他。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyy7nudHF1
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPTUCeTJev
「嗯……」索爾摸著下巴起身，他比精靈高壯，精靈後退後了幾步，「作法很奇怪，但證明實力這點，我認同。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9DlFcVeud
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFhT3zHcLB
索爾對精靈一笑，撿起地上的鎖鍊。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQsHW3JtkB
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VrqH5pqCe
「你比我當初認為的還有價值。」鎖鍊一拉，精靈往前跌，索爾單臂接住他，聲音壓低在他耳邊：「我要做的是『叛國』，成功了，我與你共享權勢與榮耀，你部落那套作法，我可以參考看看……不成，你也難逃一死。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhQRulcQ26
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPsvW9j6RM
精靈僵硬地轉頭，眸子對上人類，「你早該殺了我。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9AguWvB7A
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtNL5BG04V
索爾把精靈丟在地上，精靈吃痛地咳了幾聲、黑髮蓋住臉。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQc0cFIhta
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRPoKVX7ix
「來人！」索爾一喊，兩名近衛跑進帳內，索爾把鎖鍊交給他們，「帶走。」46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueoOZrNoDa
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m7DnkqDEm
隔天行軍，索爾要那名劍被搶走的士兵把馬讓給精靈，並在旁邊替精靈牽馬。46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5VzNC62TX
46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVjO1LePw9
士兵顏面掃地，他的同袍在後面笑，他則不斷對精靈投以恨不得殺死他的目光；精靈無動於衷，因為這小小的「恨」，跟他部落被屠、族人被辱比起來，根本不算什麼46Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5cLsIG6xb
