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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS50sYGQBx
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZMtMDLFnK
　　直到它嘴鼻透出的血腥臭味薰醒我，激起我的危機感。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1lAdKjAZX
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBJccDnhWA
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XRm755RWF
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfU5JU2Whe
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM9MPA6ulQ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprCBoHqnct
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgull3qlRq

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAoMjq6w0e
　　緊抓黑影仰天長嘯的空隙，我強忍身體發出的刺痛警訊，起身繞過充滿敵意的龐然大物，逃離死亡圍起的角落。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWYN7dV96Z
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwMnicRtLQ
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbWnT6QOm4
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLB94AXPaJ
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eFqLUR0wx
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79zAsmqEJZ
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXApeh8D8t
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTNJ5DnOaH
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79erHq2UUi
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1Jm7zR7lr

　　在此同時，右前方遠處傳出無數蒼促人聲，由遠而近，直向此處聚集，並以葛葉姐尖銳的叫聲為嚮導。是葛葉姐找來的救援。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlJCKlFyK1
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUsYzGtcLM
　　然而，這卻令我更加提心吊膽。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxPBq7fr0M
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDwxCTpxvc

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw5duOBScM
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueJhwBjOz6

　　這樣不行！43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAddukM9W8i

　　還未能來得及阻止，火把熱光映照的廣闊臂膀，快速飛轉，壯臂挾著利爪直往纖弱嬌小的路克襲去。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMJfI9HaBN
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH3ay4bkSz
　　悶響一聲，路克重重摔在我身後。吹起一陣微風，滿是血腥。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJngnn47Ln4

　　「路克！」我轉身跑向路克身邊。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfgDMQZEAe
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6mS47GFH2
　　翻過他的無力身軀，那攤軟的手臂讓我幾乎快抑制不住心中炸開的悲憤。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxn2WSIJR0
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzajATnygRq
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqCe1Cs9YV
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdzHCC2F8T
　　靛藍月光下，白皙皮膚逐漸浮現的是，一條條黑線彎曲、構成的尖齒輪。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGIBF8IHyY
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom2WUV7knQ

　　該來的還是來了。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXo2yhWDp3
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV3l8qKNsW
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimwbZvaPyy
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvh5WTdOoFw
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQbwIaXQFz
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9WuyVXFi7
　　為了防備不時之需，我總會將父親遺留的長劍佩戴在腰後。今天我可要好好感謝自己一直有保持這個好習慣。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDLETsU85m
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ65eQl3eQT
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjZFTXa8LH
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcU3q42mzw
　　但那映照月光的血淚，卻勾起人們的悲憐，忘去它身上迸發的怒氣。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko0fFGQUEw

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyWzR3ZHY6
　　它見我有所動作，便也拉高右手臂往我撲打而來。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9x6wwf2Nk
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBcRwGABB6
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkz583skMa
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVB2oaDRUx
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVfqe6kpvl
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vk3nSgGIm
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcgxeKhBwK
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVX0BZzJGZ
　　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43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwyR1PTVro

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3FZ59QiFU
　　動物終究還是動物。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBUuyvlWRw
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDpk4MnV7z
　　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43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6gUhvbtf9
　　仍未重整架勢的我直襲。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxyciW2hNt

　　不妙！43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM6jk8rti3
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaGJDmIHuN
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRAWItdqOY
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT2kVK33XJ
　　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43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFokwPxaDcA
　　－－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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVclujH4t4A
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck3AiaNQUZ
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwllKWZNRCI
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVFnTF2WHH
　　此刻，右小腿的疼痛重新提醒我它的存在。好痛。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DBDVChNr2

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiqWJvSu4q
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSXF3h1Gfq
　　「除了右小腿，還有那個地方會痛嗎？」替我進行包紥的咵特，在撕開繃帶尾端時如此問道。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z70Oq4fVr
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bl4AFxWk8
　　「我先不提，傷比我重的路克他有沒有事？」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RnWsXCFTW
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQNuxICTHH
　　挑高眉毛，咵特似乎對我的疑問感到相當詫異。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fWHdgFb3X
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYdeXtncxO
　　「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2enxDJ0VG
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc1zSPpdpk
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcXGHen75l
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshAn6uVgCX
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafCjSkvFgn
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxQ4n7sVrK
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4f1MHTtgQ
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnDd4bFvrF
　　說不定，他夜晚的行動是在跟潛伏的軍隊通風報信。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QPn3uPe5z
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisG7xKKgCd
　　「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPi1onypvz
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXDCnjZBH0
　　「抱歉。」我說著，「不光害鐘塔塌毀，還讓告死天使也摔壞了。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao0ioUI7Kj
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo66IlKd4a
　　「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil0FpW1JYw

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wJoWYk8iy
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCldZREAzde
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZRErMn0ML
　　「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjwQoT4rUO
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbsORjTR9D
　　「嗯？熊在冬季不都該冬眠的嗎？」我反問。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiKggrV4RA
同時身兼畜牧、獸醫與醫生等三職的咵特回道：43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO0o5NA9PH
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpquHQDF2S
　　「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ak2wweeU5
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLnzmbfVnj
　　聽咵特詳細的生態解說，我不禁發出讚嘆。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fq9n9VpBP

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO36D1CR3P
　　被咵特這麼一誇，我的臉上立刻燒起火紅。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0293gIgKm
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJdKFf1wrb
　　「沒、沒什麼啦。就只是一隻熊而已嘛。」轉著頭髮，我答道。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLjz9Indxy
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStX7xUGtTl
　　「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw8zrgBvHx
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SvsS21bHM
　　「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiJPtHoNWP
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgiBIVoPXh
　　就只有葛葉姐懂得我。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftfk0m8I2R

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCOFu4vO28
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDxyupAjug
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5oaEgb0QD
　　「謝、謝謝……。」我支支唔唔說著。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwoNgyJg57
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LgLw9jRA5
　　「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。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbSmdmVzmf
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxwobuszvJ

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeAZn8tMYJ
　　「怎麼了嗎？」離我最近的咵特問。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3ZvJ0WIdI
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUoDz7QGg8

　　眾人頓時止息，沒有半點驚呼。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyOjeBDxjD

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmxfIrvniW

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfkigK9VLJ
　　「沒關係，去吧。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MJReMXvqb
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqivRVPoF7
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3HYHtL0kW
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI4WfIXrz8
　　誰替他貼回去的？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoZcm8rnqB

　　「那麼，我要撕開囉。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwlP5DTEvT
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBT4laTVCa
　　挾住紗布一角，蹲在路克一旁的我回望身後，差點沒被嚇死。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWcV7YN1bU
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmHW7Vr5X8
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLGD7CvFyR
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi7gNCGiwf
　　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！43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nxpfAMYe2
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBB3hWi5RdQ
　　吸口氣，我快速撕下紗布，深藏其中的秘密瞬間揭曉。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZiYcKJe39

　　咦？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfcfUmyUWz
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFaVtvwwHm
　　路克臉上寫的幾個大字立即掉落我的眼簾：「我愛薇亞莉。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYBBKWpMJa
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjopE6f6BSx
　　怎麼可能？43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUAxMLovmI
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWo342v6nM
　　再撕開另一側旁的紗布，同樣寫著：「薇亞莉我的最愛。」43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlrHqzJwAd
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiPX5uMOlK
　　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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBcXCFB02V
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03vqh6CoYP
　　「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。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3nF94tgC5
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUk58Aj9UX
　　「可是呀，薇亞莉小妞。現在路克臉上就只寫著這幾個示愛的字句，或許是剛才的場面太過緊張，讓妳看走眼也說不一定。」倪達忍著濃濃笑意，替我打圓場。43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKTP7R1wNe
