「關於類人異生命的事情我會考慮,如果願意接受,希望到時候各位不會忘記現在的承諾。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAgXNuqDCuIp
53Please respect copyright.PENANAWOIm6VxWxP
厄瑞嘉暫時還無法決定,她要再觀察死亡峽谷情況。53Please respect copyright.PENANAHAZEW10tMd
53Please respect copyright.PENANAeqeTk7N4Da
奧斯維得道:「沒關係,照葵娜以前所說情報來看,幾年內類人異生命暫時還不會與席洛大陸有接觸,妳可以先處理好自己迷宮城事情,而我們的承諾隨時有效。」53Please respect copyright.PENANA6bN8rPk8oI
53Please respect copyright.PENANAudqeosztYE
一旁葵娜聽了神色黯然,蛇尾頓時像死水攤在地上動也不動。53Please respect copyright.PENANAMFSDQY2oco
53Please respect copyright.PENANAHb3URbXn94
「老龍呢?你這一年來有什麼發現嗎?」當作沒有看到,奧斯維得見這個問題告一段落,繼續轉移話題問道。53Please respect copyright.PENANAf7xZSi7EUb
53Please respect copyright.PENANAzVDbVrqgLo
「龍島、龍與飛鳴之地、熔岩山脈都很正常,沒什麼需要注意。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAybuXxkMEFP
53Please respect copyright.PENANAHJkBA3bo0F
夕巴斯汀頭也不抬的回應,他覺得對方是多問了,在龍族領地附近不可能出事。53Please respect copyright.PENANAoLC8rpCd2w
53Please respect copyright.PENANAer7TAnq4mm
點點頭,奧斯維得接過話,對厄瑞嘉道:「這一年來各地異狀大致就是如此,而核心獸幾乎不會移動,活體地城附近如果有問題,眾神國度察覺到之後也會通知我,目前來說應該正常。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAPLdn3GJBbo
53Please respect copyright.PENANAjWRwCO1qOo
「有件事情。」這是厄瑞嘉自參加魔王之庭前就想明白的問題。53Please respect copyright.PENANA8IwkOdbz6o
53Please respect copyright.PENANARHnuiupT3T
「請說。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAVBLOTmbEQu
53Please respect copyright.PENANAIDy8WW07Ab
「一整個時代會被變革的到來毀滅,眾神國度和部份智慧種族也清楚這個過往歷史,而惡魔一族不再是威脅,甚至也願意與魔王之庭合作。」53Please respect copyright.PENANALFRJxZJ9hr
53Please respect copyright.PENANARLRAaDDU8D
頓了頓,厄瑞嘉皺眉沉聲續道:「可以說,現在智慧種族和惡魔種族擁有全面合作的基礎,沒有對敵的必要。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAdww82c2dM3
53Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0NvXv6WkB
「但是,至今仍然有大量冒險者圍繞在核心獸的活體地城附近,即使不論死亡峽谷,晴空島和迷霧淵影以外同樣也聚集不少想要侵略的勢力團體。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAMShvRsIahK
53Please respect copyright.PENANAtksK6fj7sU
「表面死敵、暗地合作,為什麼關係如此扭曲。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAEv7m0Uh1J2
53Please respect copyright.PENANAyaarps52UD
沉吟一會,奧斯維得臉上略顯思考神色,似是在努力回憶什麼,過了好一會才如釋重負,回想起來並道:「這件事有些複雜,要從上個時代的變革之後說起。」53Please respect copyright.PENANALOqiUTZn0M
53Please respect copyright.PENANA5KF1SJZ4yZ
「混沌時代,惡魔種族和智慧種族處在對立面,壽命、習性、能力、天賦大不相同,甚至也有互為血食狀況的存在,因此一直以來就擺脫不了死敵命運。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAb6kDAyE6nR
53Please respect copyright.PENANAIT5noBgi9T
「等到變革發生之後,壓抑許久的智慧種族終於成為新時代的天選,環境的改變讓他們可以像獵人般肆意狩獵惡魔種族,這種情況下,即使有希望和平共處聲音出現,恐怕也沒有生命會接受,甚至曾有提出者被打上叛徒標籤。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAf449DQmLic
53Please respect copyright.PENANA7FGJDbAIuW
「惡性循環下,互相死傷慘重仇視的狀況,在新時代也持續數百年之久,一直到五大國度陸續建立,智慧種族開始有規劃、有製度的攻略迷宮城後,惡魔種族的處境也越來越艱難了。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAE16QbF7ecD
53Please respect copyright.PENANAORDxMuXdEG
「雖然晴空島、迷霧淵影、活體地城並不畏懼攻略,但其他惡魔種族能夠棲息地方卻是越來越少,於是我試著透過原始森林聯繫上了四正教。」53Please respect copyright.PENANARKimwWjIAq
53Please respect copyright.PENANATT1AabnV7N
「我代表魔王之庭,他們代表眾神國度,展開一次正式會談。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAkkZejgyKeo
53Please respect copyright.PENANA3Kuzd9t0o4
說到這裡,奧斯維得露出複雜笑容,道:「會談中,我『充份』的讓他們明白,雖然惡魔不再是時代的天選種族,全力之下,依然有能力毀滅五大國度其中任何一個國家。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAeLgBR04qWI
53Please respect copyright.PENANA6wM9UP9VFw
「這一點,相信妳在成為死亡峽谷的主人後,應該有充份的理解才對。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAKTSGrPprZv
53Please respect copyright.PENANA3wueu1Csz5
厄瑞嘉表情未變,但心裡卻是相當讚同,只要再給她一些時間,等到能完全與三頭超獸種建立聯繫之後,最起碼也能與蒼藍帝國同歸於盡,要完全勝利也不是不可能。53Please respect copyright.PENANAUpUzMjYYor
53Please respect copyright.PENANAKQDoo8D6RU
而且,她和文森特擁有不死特性,只要靈魂之源不被找到,隨著時間過去,死亡峽谷依然會存在。53Please respect copyright.PENANAys1I6NtFjt
53Please respect copyright.PENANArkxryVDfi5
敵人,早已消失。53Please respect copyright.PENANAW2EQPqklJA
53Please respect copyright.PENANAHCH4f166uY
「當然,智慧種族的國度現在也越來越強盛,他們有意識的培養神官、魔法師、戰士、弓箭手、斥侯等等戰鬥職業,甚至魔導技術也在逐漸復甦,這對迷宮城威脅很大,也因此我才與對方試著談判。」53Please respect copyright.PENANASYs4mEHMQu
53Please respect copyright.PENANAhUk3m8NE3L
「我們談了很久,會議最後終於達成一些簡單約定,在約定範圍內互相妥協,這對惡魔種族和智慧種族都有好處,也有利於彼此防範下次變革的到來。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAdbRLgqr5nF
53Please respect copyright.PENANAvff2USA6uV
「什麼約定。」53Please respect copyright.PENANA42UsMoBLa6
53Please respect copyright.PENANApXPiWqmUBM
厄瑞嘉聲音冷峻頗為不悅的問著,她現在也屬於惡魔種族,更是決定加入了魔王之庭,不希望有太過於莫名其妙的約定綁縛住自己。53Please respect copyright.PENANAXbMCUYdeDK
53Please respect copyright.PENANAYHKPHDFFhg
「五大國度積極拓荒擴大人口和勢力,只有眾神國度的建立形式特殊,所以並不在意自身發展狀況,願意將他們那一方向未曾探索過的土地和資源都讓給惡魔種族。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAFbRirMZADm
53Please respect copyright.PENANAbLizafh3kp
厄瑞嘉聞言心中微驚,這代表眾神國度在立場上,確確實實背叛了智慧種族,而且若是那天惡魔種族真的反撲,他們將會成為對外作戰的第一線!53Please respect copyright.PENANA2nhhbZFDMc
53Please respect copyright.PENANASN4COR12Xi
不論輿論或實際戰場上,都是!53Please respect copyright.PENANAfl9vWPoyZw
53Please respect copyright.PENANA7iAoqkuMBB
「付出這麼多,他們要求了什麼?」厄瑞嘉接著問道。53Please respect copyright.PENANAmkYAAEYCzx
53Please respect copyright.PENANAFKLgW5a9KA
「眾神國度希望表面上能維待現狀,並且惡魔種族各勢力不能再主動出現於智慧種族面前。」53Please respect copyright.PENANA1ikgyHdRq9
53Please respect copyright.PENANA6XKYPMbhna
「換句話來說,除了迷宮城的領地以外,惡魔一族只能在他們還未拓荒的地方生存和活動。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAnE7Fe3f4gQ
53Please respect copyright.PENANAeHiSwwICmJ
「這條件聽起來很嚴苛,但對被時代遺棄的惡魔一族來說,我們本來就沒有太多選擇餘地,光是找到適合生存地方都很困難,尤其是在各地世界之心因為失去主人陸續崩壞之後。」53Please respect copyright.PENANA3i7fXlMiuB
53Please respect copyright.PENANA7P4TbMNy0W
「所以......最後我同意了這個條件。」53Please respect copyright.PENANATOUKvMrTBg
53Please respect copyright.PENANACYGQouraTF
笑容變得頗為落寞,奧斯維得聳聳肩說著。53Please respect copyright.PENANAy5EcjF9h0y
53Please respect copyright.PENANAFiTawDWMM1
「龍族和超獸種呢?」想起魔王之中還有另外兩個種族,厄瑞嘉問道。53Please respect copyright.PENANAGTYSuJnRgq
53Please respect copyright.PENANAT7Y92EGKkX
聽著歷史介紹,夕巴斯汀不耐的自龍鼻噴出熱氣,惡聲道:「那是惡魔種族與智慧種族的約定,跟我們有什麼關係。」53Please respect copyright.PENANArIUC7U4KPK
53Please respect copyright.PENANASI3tAP0kpa
不過,龍族與超獸種確實很少出現在席洛大陸之上,厄瑞嘉稍微思考一下便明白,變革對這兩個強大種族並不是沒有影響!53Please respect copyright.PENANAlRKU7zhmdp
53Please respect copyright.PENANANad2ryAFX9
不然不用一個棲息在海外龍島,千方百計進行各種嘗試和抑止變革,另一個更是大量消失,已知的少數不是成為迷宮城就是被迷宮城豢養。53Please respect copyright.PENANAA3CL4uO0z8
53Please respect copyright.PENANAvjVCWS8laK
龍族和超獸種必定有自己的難處。53Please respect copyright.PENANAemP6PSJW1r
53Please respect copyright.PENANAAWXvPSqk7C
見雙方不再言語,奧斯維得也繼續解說。53Please respect copyright.PENANAr8A4K5dgbG
53Please respect copyright.PENANAtjgdQD9i6e
「之後數百年,我和眾神國度一直保持良好關係,合作愉快,其它四大國度則以為惡魔種族被消滅的差不多,只剩下所謂的三大魔王,但是因為我們的迷宮城比較特殊,他們始終無法成功攻略,情況就一直僵持下去直到現在。」53Please respect copyright.PENANA2xzpyfYIna
53Please respect copyright.PENANAujRXazKGTr
「目前來說,維持現狀對雙方其實都有好處,智慧種族也不可能無限拓荒擴張下去,否則或許會提早引發變革到來。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAwQ47BJ3o9L
53Please respect copyright.PENANAx6LjBsbmmT
「例如,曾經發生過的『血染薔薇』事件,當時我還以為眾神國度背叛約定,想要提早誘發變革到來,魔王之庭曾一度要全員出動搶先滅亡五大國度,這之前也向妳說過了。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAtvlx7P41n2
53Please respect copyright.PENANAJNLZ8nDYlw
那次事件之惡劣,影響層面實在太深太廣,就連幾乎沒有牽連的惡魔種族都差點因此加入混戰當中。53Please respect copyright.PENANAq2E6AA24MB
53Please respect copyright.PENANAKFRUfwL136
「所以,在智慧種族永遠不會滿足情況下,迷宮城正是個很好的替代對象,讓他們的欲望可以在這裡得到釋放,不論......生存或死亡。」53Please respect copyright.PENANA8uptr5Wwys
53Please respect copyright.PENANATICjrK3Brs
「而對惡魔種族來說同樣有不少好處,以活體地城為例,那些進入後死亡的冒險者都成為核心獸的養份,就算不以智慧生命為血食的族群,也可以拿來補充世界之心豢養守衛。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAv1VJ7Prfve
53Please respect copyright.PENANAbQsNhYK6R5
「所以,這樣是目前對彼此最好的狀況和方法,妳明白嗎?」53Please respect copyright.PENANATtH5iJZhxc
53Please respect copyright.PENANAQ86CHMmr7E
擔心原本是人類的兩名魔王無法接受,奧斯維得用委婉一些的方式簡單說明,雖然他不覺得對方會是那種自以為代表真理、非我族類其心必異,沒有殺盡對方不肯停下的生命。53Please respect copyright.PENANAiOe9mbo170
53Please respect copyright.PENANAazSZjXHBQD
但是,目前維持數百年的平衡局面他並不希望被打壞。53Please respect copyright.PENANA2UobNxD0ya
53Please respect copyright.PENANAnCgsbZAYDw
果不其然,厄瑞嘉搖搖頭,嗤笑一聲道:「種族對我來說沒有差別,任何生命都必須為自己的行為付出代價,我只有這個最基本原則。」53Please respect copyright.PENANAZZeWCRj0Gl
53Please respect copyright.PENANAqLDSXywKax
不論是對皇家冒險團數千人的全數屠殺,還是招募精靈與亞人村落,厄瑞嘉從來就未因為種族之分動搖過,在她眼中只有行為者個體本身而已。53Please respect copyright.PENANALOURWryBN3
53Please respect copyright.PENANA8Th2E50MLi
微點點頭,奧斯維得相當滿意新夥伴的回答,便道:「很好,今年的魔王之庭討論到這裡也差不多,現在只剩下最後一個問題了。」53Please respect copyright.PENANA6nyzMed4wC
53Please respect copyright.PENANAtsfI2UmtwW
轉頭,他看向那片不定形的柔和光體。53Please respect copyright.PENANAvxhFM3bdlO
53Please respect copyright.PENANAk7SjodVIAp
神靈,夢。53Please respect copyright.PENANAkUNhfygk1O
