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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa6Px67Bvg
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWprXJZ7VC
　　直到它嘴鼻透出的血腥臭味薰醒我，激起我的危機感。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmfG5U8EyS
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObD6XnKzBh
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KV979kVCa
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uAuqnXgUM
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHGWR7YhWM
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QKse6lWgX
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfpCn1LbPv

　　吼喔喔喔－－！28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA5GBhgm02
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAIZvXNP7W
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwH6uicpuw
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hijiu0bTR
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfyqb1ERpX
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqbPp5pira
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MIENmbxsd
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wfdWuP5Ot
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzAYf7fqKL
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRMhlyPS2S
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscMcmI0PHb
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qawDQwEDb
　　想到這，我不自禁地觸摸方才差點被它一口咬掉的脖子。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznAAwFQXW8

　　真的……好險。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWcHruV64X
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PbFW5OMJm
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f5vNLUXqv
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRjVFYdyYr
　　然而，這卻令我更加提心吊膽。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcSmmuG5U5
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQDNFv8PTE
　　我怕這隻受傷的猛獸會因瞎掉單眼而採取報復行動，奮力攻擊趕來瞭解發生何事的無辜群眾。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW43js0Isda
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pb796Q0la
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SEu9Es6FA
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyqXP5EYBJ
　　這樣不行！28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Ia7dCyf9
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCQGoiwNdU

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34eV0zCvNQ
　　這想法剛閃過腦海，仍未促成行動前，有個拿著火把的嬌小身影突兀地冒現在飛雪熊側邊。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GfT805U1n
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYKhjpQ7VP
　　是被虐狂路克！他怎麼會出現在那！28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTNjdDaVGW
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcya36tyYQb
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iIwD1LSbD
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35DJ4QQril
　　悶響一聲，路克重重摔在我身後。吹起一陣微風，滿是血腥。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIhgEgvuj8
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRGBU0QXUb
　　「路克！」我轉身跑向路克身邊。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmhGqitM7K
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY8SG5H1JH
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPF0MWGr5h
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshcq6vgFVh
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CxXVrqKYi
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gBba45IP2
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfRxXMt7HW
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeERPdUvAXl
　　怎麼會，竟然是尖齒輪型的刺青！28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3ocl69vMo

　　該來的還是來了。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KrjBDvlo8
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB8FhGCo5X
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB0jhusIGO
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsdV5KbTJO
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaBgchh9qH
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBjY4dIcAD
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3lrgGg4Qu
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr3muNtSxu
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KKT7rHZcN
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX80DpZ0AbV
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWOwl7hgKW
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPamuOn23Kg
　　「在那裡，鐘塔底下有人正在打架！」趕來的某位村民喊著。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LRFGgPbaj
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx105mx7Z2b
　　前方不遠處，一片火海下站著一群人，葛葉姐則在人群最前頭。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrsYqAxA14

　　果然，他們沒有一個人帶上武器。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUetwCeVje2

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z1xT5SDwk
　　它見我有所動作，便也拉高右手臂往我撲打而來。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE2jSt7Tby
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDtQyveXpF
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP8F9N0UCk
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNFZhomKPI
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D93QeZWD2
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xKDE4q5FV
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf4R3XvzhO
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZrHqwm4vQ
　　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28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLHNCexjaj
　　與飛雪熊的距離。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9euqITqzo
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN3EOoZ3XK
　　動物終究還是動物。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW9QH5KFjB
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03EHRe5G9r
　　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28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORuCgHVCrs
　　仍未重整架勢的我直襲。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ54Rf0zjBa
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUFHRWfzi1
　　不妙！28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvrCvUcoBq
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAO4ASIF5O
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3V8dTdLJ0
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqpJWDZ1Sb
　　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28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvF80mI4rW
　　－－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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tkEgOVSA9
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFRrjm3eeO
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQIGRBGmTi
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBRU3IzMPs
　　此刻，右小腿的疼痛重新提醒我它的存在。好痛。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc75wlCfS71

28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFJMVGkvC5
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCigustAxZn
　　「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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC80AVes81
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uLlrV6G9a
　　「我先不提，傷比我重的路克他有沒有事？」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAtIxDQLGq
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8inZh7f5JG
　　挑高眉毛，咵特似乎對我的疑問感到相當詫異。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0neXr5Rti
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4J8CgW3He
　　「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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Q6YcpK1q
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxxNDHstdx
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetZ7UeCWoF
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nN63Ivlyi
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2dlGWQfJH
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqKj7QZuiv
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKqHvJ483c
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJX4XzUCVn
　　說不定，他夜晚的行動是在跟潛伏的軍隊通風報信。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxfFdD34d5
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcZMjrKguv
　　「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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaBnd9fyGu
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwAkdwLEqP
　　「抱歉。」我說著，「不光害鐘塔塌毀，還讓告死天使也摔壞了。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYGk0r7Vae
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz8zO0u2Ha
　　「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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy8mpwEdDj
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16UFr8g9Av
　　「那告死天使呢？」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzFIQ7SMPS
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ046YcUabNg
　　「那個皇都送的爛銅鐘早壞了。前陣子天天下雨，雨水侵蝕讓它全都生鏽了。剛剛叫醒全村的巨大響聲，是它生前的最後叫聲了。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWmaOYiweu
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhOPdf9tcG
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVMn70d1Qn
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ACpKDkDVh
　　「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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8on9cLAKW8
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI1T81NPkz
　　「嗯？熊在冬季不都該冬眠的嗎？」我反問。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7ZadcaqjY
同時身兼畜牧、獸醫與醫生等三職的咵特回道：28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3tsyOVFk4
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFuXIvV8Gj
　　「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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8bwKm3qXH
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRBLCGPV3n
　　聽咵特詳細的生態解說，我不禁發出讚嘆。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ9abcWxDO
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG32JMaOr4
　　「喔－－」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc0mg6e2JQ
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3VSActwON
　　「但是，真不愧是薇亞莉大小姐，竟然能夠打倒飛雪熊，實在太厲害了。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBprB8w2Sdu
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKAFc0mpwQ
　　被咵特這麼一誇，我的臉上立刻燒起火紅。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdbprcY4FG
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9h2PgdqcB
　　「沒、沒什麼啦。就只是一隻熊而已嘛。」轉著頭髮，我答道。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FdvPmrjBM
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PV3ro7t03
　　「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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IsfRh7olA
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYHeJkX7p3
　　「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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbRJ7sBEmM
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwBBkbGoxe
　　就只有葛葉姐懂得我。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXu5iu4ozz
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOSQZvPdjg
　　「現在已經沒事了，薇亞莉大小姐妳帶著葛葉，早點回去休息吧。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM9if0OEaF

　　「我又不是小孩子了，不要這樣啦！」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh3pl85vg3
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCPbS2heuy
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzq9IFpSKc
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFn1MrAATV
　　「謝、謝謝……。」我支支唔唔說著。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLEUmAGfh1
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeqZT1am2o
　　「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。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTWY2wiJun
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWVhyVicD0
　　站哨？這詞點醒我。差點遺忘那件關乎村子安危的事沒說。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CitAHT56w
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq68hnQtPUg
　　「各位等等。」我出聲阻止眾人回家的步伐。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbJ8ZPmNHW
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SlXXOoh7f
　　「怎麼了嗎？」離我最近的咵特問。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHsfvbrPRj
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOY4bbxhuU
　　看了看咵特，我環視過人群，抿嘴開口：28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOg9eWPOSm
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIksUcD7Br
　　「我在路克的臉頰上，發現了代表色雷斯公國的尖齒輪型剌青。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCZ4TA3cx3
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDVDGjFx9a
　　眾人頓時止息，沒有半點驚呼。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nLHVMM6TM
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBAVG2emKx
　　路克可能是間諜的事實，果然使大家飽受震驚。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp5TUAVsnA

　　間隔一段沉默，倪達抓著下巴雜亂成顆大毛球的鬍鬚，步出人牆，像是神話故事中的神聖賢者，不過他身上仍舊滿身酒臭味就是了。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8s2EhtexB
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dZZRacINq
　　「薇亞莉小妞說的一向是事實，誰把還在昏迷的路克抱過來。我們來一窺究竟，要是有敵人滲透進村子，這絕對不會是件好事。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDC2KFJsGs
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZHdhH9LRy
　　「可是……」哈特欲言又止，「隨便搬動重傷患也不是件好事。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wwS5EwsxM
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWceyjnU3J
　　「沒關係，去吧。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV83wSPksD
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgPtRi9stJ
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE20YQ00cr
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFmoIowxKC
　　誰替他貼回去的？28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03fiGgGC2E
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2wpfy7TVZ
　　「那麼，我要撕開囉。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPjHvzpPsj
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBzRnByPxQ
　　挾住紗布一角，蹲在路克一旁的我回望身後，差點沒被嚇死。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWJIylljd7
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlETzMEKlA
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk21EwJTmpc
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlnUEXqsqX
　　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！28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zjtE0Arqr
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KNv7eKdWR
　　吸口氣，我快速撕下紗布，深藏其中的秘密瞬間揭曉。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJylILKprr
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEceHPDPFgx
　　咦？28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwT2BAECzz
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qwKAOaT0R
　　路克臉上寫的幾個大字立即掉落我的眼簾：「我愛薇亞莉。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYn92m1hrv
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nPPHUReGU
　　怎麼可能？28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXYjDAM4Cj
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgVnXbjoo8
　　再撕開另一側旁的紗布，同樣寫著：「薇亞莉我的最愛。」28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvnH2jLJFP
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8op4wpRa1
　　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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gTVYBQCqU
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5duF8BXXto
　　「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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsDmYgVWdB
28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0iJ2rXOE1
　　「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。28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidWFgRqRef
