西樹海森林一隅。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYa0rMU9ME
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH8rKJHVfF
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nCtA7AOAn
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvlPtjrHqK
士兵們升起營火。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3isfP98Du0
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdkWgBGLTh
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FMXxLHgre
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU46HsJDeYk
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？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASRANLAOPg
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbGdgEf2X7
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLss4pX1OCf
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAqU7eqnVm
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a2qBFjRdc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZKBaYUfMi
其他女精靈扶起她，每個精靈都哭了。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb48JIcgSi
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuoeU1uE6V
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」？47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiSSSxJ0mc
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTUPSPmJ8M
「哭什麼？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfKJDh5ypw

這時，青色髮的少女精靈大叫：「黑琴大哥，救救我們！黑琴大哥，求你了啊——」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiuYmB6ulT
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO5LsIji3v
她又被甩了一巴掌。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltaYkwq7UL

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25CQ4nsDEV
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！47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI71Mk9Udm9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD9FZuVAKs
黑琴，彷彿他是他們唯一的希望，精靈族的救星。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM7XlLoQwZ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfJzc8L0Ac
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BBgN0llJO
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICiwfaWjAn
這時，索爾探出帳棚。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGng2dmDmH
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vgsdXXhYz
「你們在吵什麼？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbehgaIKyK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC7JR1vCj1
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITlwaVyvsj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHX5dYeXfj
精靈沒有持劍攻擊索爾，而是將劍橫抵在自己脖子上。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoW5TGuZHp
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX8bp8PbPb
「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！」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wbijqfejZ
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnVIxvmrYj
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAThKmEU6l
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdeIHfNyn8
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：47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mgukf5KON
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZHbYUcRey
「大人，我們只是開玩笑……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87ZtzL50VM
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ056hj8ZzOT

「你算什麼東西！我們大人怎麼會聽你的？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oLaum7ul0

「大人！大人……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTgMrwGUHD

抵住脖子的劍並未鬆手，反而更壓進。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzKmMXTbd9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG57pWSG8G
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt66ttSMO4
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzkc00VqAV
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzsKszhFi8
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj77WXHOpUk
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIah1cKLpX
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeR4BEgNWD
索爾把黑琴拉到自己的營帳。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCgoSiOVbP
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84BE07NZ0Y
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOeKOF2VBI
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hTAfXMSrs
「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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0cZ9j9I6L
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHhDpgmoxB
精靈站在索爾面前，反而使坐著的索爾覺得自己矮人一截。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUgruXrwTd
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZb5AzMmND
索爾吃不下了，他丟下刀叉：「你還有什麼把戲沒使出來？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IKp3KnIsy
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxrHfDyJVI
「你在招兵買馬。」綠眸讓整句話成為肯定，「你想推翻你的國王。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQTrwFuTc2
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyw0uL992T
索爾躍起，抽出配劍，直指精靈，「飯能亂吃，話不能亂說啊。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv3OwLXG8Y
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZJUXFOp06
「……」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1rSeMczvA
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1YPNsXkUw
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9FQwb8asS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92VFROkSbz
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOZanRX5Pj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn980InLxI
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuBCipooub
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrnutzRnfA
「你剛剛會幫我，不只是英雄惜英雄，你要我……為你做事。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwFUL3XlhC

「很多人類都這麼做啊。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IC69v6GC9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP63ehg6cR
「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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY4VZtBt5u
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrjhIqkbNq
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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nGpoz0Mhj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw9VrFxjgv
「你的家族和國王是對立的。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHRH1W5ngx

「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYLZMTkbCK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3h5AufC1o
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0z85NrLAf
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhuhzpkLr0
「這幾天，我聽到不少關於你們國王的事，他並不……得人心。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJn4jFnRws
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0cwtVx3vU
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJQ8h6nAKj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQGSSbYnBw
「我們部落不是這樣的。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1cm7luXaR

「喔？那你們的『國王』打哪來？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwEY2zajxG
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JqQdBc45b
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCghYzJbWE
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXsZu7pdnt
「所以……族長的兒子不會是族長。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJXnXD4R6F
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaoHrc95Rq
「不會，除非他證明自己夠資格，有族人願意追隨他。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEXm5kDO1p
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGH59zdrF9
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRJKABMWYC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIv6cBVBoB
索爾對精靈一笑，撿起地上的鎖鍊。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhu7CLyT4m
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Y7D7KsNH
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHBSCRQuJh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOPsTWToxI
精靈僵硬地轉頭，眸子對上人類，「你早該殺了我。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl0fNP6Osz
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUpOXyZkbr
索爾把精靈丟在地上，精靈吃痛地咳了幾聲、黑髮蓋住臉。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC1Xl9GoL1
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp5wh9kDpH
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67b1xHTmvu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeQFW4ay9a
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rTlAFCin3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGOuLTaAal
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47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXcVy2FqC7

47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92VFROkSbz
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOZanRX5Pj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn980InLxI
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuBCipooub

「你剛剛會幫我，不只是英雄惜英雄，你要我……為你做事。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwFUL3XlhC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU5hexpm7D
「不錯。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvpGC3RrE7
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40g4Z3eD3u
「其次，你在介紹你自己時，報上你的家族。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sHaIM2UmS
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkgCaiX0QC
「很多人類都這麼做啊。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IC69v6GC9
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP63ehg6cR
「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？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOY4VZtBt5u
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrjhIqkbNq
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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nGpoz0Mhj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw9VrFxjgv
「你的家族和國王是對立的。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHRH1W5ngx
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1KifXQfGk
「你要這麼說也行。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYc2IwMePZ

「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYLZMTkbCK
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3h5AufC1o
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0z85NrLAf
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhuhzpkLr0
「這幾天，我聽到不少關於你們國王的事，他並不……得人心。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJn4jFnRws
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0cwtVx3vU
「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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJQ8h6nAKj
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQGSSbYnBw
「我們部落不是這樣的。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1cm7luXaR
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDQRAqMW8O
「喔？那你們的『國王』打哪來？」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwEY2zajxG
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JqQdBc45b
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCghYzJbWE
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXsZu7pdnt
「所以……族長的兒子不會是族長。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJXnXD4R6F
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaoHrc95Rq
「不會，除非他證明自己夠資格，有族人願意追隨他。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEXm5kDO1p
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGH59zdrF9
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRJKABMWYC
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIv6cBVBoB
索爾對精靈一笑，撿起地上的鎖鍊。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhu7CLyT4m
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Y7D7KsNH
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHBSCRQuJh
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOPsTWToxI
精靈僵硬地轉頭，眸子對上人類，「你早該殺了我。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl0fNP6Osz
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUpOXyZkbr
索爾把精靈丟在地上，精靈吃痛地咳了幾聲、黑髮蓋住臉。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC1Xl9GoL1
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzp5wh9kDpH
「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。」47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67b1xHTmvu
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeQFW4ay9a
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。47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rTlAFCin3
47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGOuLTaAal
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47Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXcVy2FqC7
