『涅澤爾大人,您真的希望我帶這個人類一起飛嗎?』386Please respect copyright.PENANAGG3V2oQmJf
386Please respect copyright.PENANA0Dh56ZxbTZ
在鍋盤逐漸被清空的同時,白龍的魔力波自窗外傳來,先前牠待在廚房,勇者到來後又從廚房的窗戶飛到院子裡,待在屋內人看不見的死角默默觀察塔裡的情況,涅澤爾知道這一點,也任由牠去。386Please respect copyright.PENANAIQDKtzRlch
386Please respect copyright.PENANAf5FEtOEYt4
『看你的意思,你覺得呢?』386Please respect copyright.PENANAvVG9VKJgkB
386Please respect copyright.PENANAjujDS0PCyv
巫師在另兩人埋頭苦吃的空檔回道,坐在院子裡的白龍甩著尾巴,降雨過後的泥地被牠劃出漏斗狀的痕跡。386Please respect copyright.PENANAhXWuPu7vZ6
386Please respect copyright.PENANArEQGphk3Cf
『我不想。我不想帶他們任何人飛,涅澤爾大人。』牠頓了一下,『我們可以把萵苣先生留下來呀,涅澤爾大人現在喜歡萵苣先生了吧?你們是朋友了,所以萵苣先生可以一直留在這裡。』386Please respect copyright.PENANAK4hS01gQwm
386Please respect copyright.PENANANFTohUTzmD
『萵苣可不認為我們是朋友喔,小白。』巨龍的提議只換來涅澤爾的輕笑,這並不是龍樂見的反應,牠還想再說些什麼,巫師又道:『勇者你不想帶就算了,萵苣是一定要送回去的,能麻煩你抱著波可嗎?』386Please respect copyright.PENANAWo0wMLmlZQ
386Please respect copyright.PENANAXGcLL2dAYC
『為什麼要趕走萵苣先生呢?』若白龍是個人,現在肯定眉頭緊皺,『涅澤爾大人不是喜歡人類嗎?我們可以把他留下來,讓他永遠住在這裡,波可可以一起待著。如果他想要狗,我還可以去抓很多狗。』386Please respect copyright.PENANAbrNIjwmkuN
386Please respect copyright.PENANAmagsYFj1t1
『你讓他待在這裡要做什麼?』386Please respect copyright.PENANAgUO3Pv6eB3
386Please respect copyright.PENANA3nGjsWokZz
『當作新的小王子呀。』386Please respect copyright.PENANAoDstIzxqqe
386Please respect copyright.PENANAAssHVGf1d0
『萵苣可是一直想回家的喔。』386Please respect copyright.PENANATlwlJ9n4qx
386Please respect copyright.PENANAcMdzIMgNes
『那又不重要。』386Please respect copyright.PENANACSvXVj6A7W
386Please respect copyright.PENANAEYvoabB4Jd
白龍看不見塔裡巫師的苦笑,但能從他傳遞的魔力波動感覺得出涅澤爾心底的無奈,『那很重要喔,如果我們真的是朋友的話。』386Please respect copyright.PENANARx1t6Xu6EE
386Please respect copyright.PENANAwmy6ZFQYEK
『可是──』白龍絞盡腦汁想找出能說服對方的詞彙,『亨利先生不來了之後涅澤爾大人很難過,要是放走萵苣先生,這樣涅澤爾大人又會難過的。』386Please respect copyright.PENANAibwuUJXmyM
386Please respect copyright.PENANAKwWbzdUMEW
『不會。』涅澤爾的語調如緩緩下墜的羽毛,又輕又柔,『他只會讓我確信一切都過去了。』386Please respect copyright.PENANAbj0Bkxhpjs

總算清空所有的盤子以後,霍金都覺得食物已經快從喉嚨漫出來了,而凱莉卻是一臉滿足。386Please respect copyright.PENANAQSPWPkqNvN
386Please respect copyright.PENANAs5AXhCAhHZ
耀眼的陽光即將轉變成夕陽,吃飽喝足的兩人才休息不到十分鐘,他就聽見巫師對勇者問道:386Please respect copyright.PENANA7ikSDFo0yn
386Please respect copyright.PENANAlfOpHv1DpG
「勇者小姐應該不怕高吧?」386Please respect copyright.PENANA8iu7hB6bE7
386Please respect copyright.PENANA58GRgWF8RN
「身為勇者,理當無所畏懼。」386Please respect copyright.PENANA45ptrmg4mg
386Please respect copyright.PENANAFKdOCjtQd2
「那麼,妳是否要在啟程之前,去向妳的同伴道別?」386Please respect copyright.PENANAeMv9SdcrHW
386Please respect copyright.PENANAWeH5jKnaox
聞言,凱莉表情一僵,霍金驀地想起波可腿上的槍傷,他無法肯定這人是不是攻擊波可的兇手、畢竟人每天都會換衣服,可是既然她說了母后派一群勇者進駐鴉之森,那先前傷害波可的人很可能也是勇者。386Please respect copyright.PENANAS4upMXYviV
386Please respect copyright.PENANATPJFVSmElD
凱莉微微低頭,恭敬地回答:「不了,我們彼此之間並無交情,稱不上同伴。」386Please respect copyright.PENANA5z4nPwZadH
386Please respect copyright.PENANAOistMwR6WX
「那妳的意思是說,妳不認識其他勇者囉?」386Please respect copyright.PENANAwh0I82EB9k
386Please respect copyright.PENANAlLRBB4G5bx
「我們只是萍水相逢。」凱莉謹慎地回答,霍金兩眼眨也不眨地盯著她看,他知道假如她想說謊,那麼馬上就會被涅澤爾看穿。386Please respect copyright.PENANA3SmJ8EQhJ6
386Please respect copyright.PENANAdqZFkOBqv9
原先單手撐頭的巫師雙手離開桌面,整個人緩緩靠向椅背,「那麼,假如王子殿下同意的話,我們就回宮吧?」386Please respect copyright.PENANAnz6Mgx2XRy
386Please respect copyright.PENANAiVY7KjRsOG
霍金站了起來,他很想問巫師是不是刺探出了什麼,但現在並不是發問的好時機,他也不可能把勇者留在廚房去外面和涅澤爾單獨談話,於是只得先宣佈前往王宮。386Please respect copyright.PENANAD1HaXRt0vV
386Please respect copyright.PENANAKnWFBC8PAp
三人一犬走向頂樓,霍金領在前頭,波可走在他與凱莉之間,涅澤爾殿後。386Please respect copyright.PENANAbvgCcVFAEy
386Please respect copyright.PENANAS5oDysWIir
霍金想著那發子彈、想著森林裡的勇者、想著許久未見的王宮,直到看見塔頂的天空,風吹打著他的臉,霍金才恍然意識到、這或許是他最後一次走那道樓梯。假若真的返回宮中,他很可能再也不會見到這座塔,這座有器靈、有白龍、有巫師,與他的生活沒有任何交集的高塔。386Please respect copyright.PENANAppzFGZlwD0
386Please respect copyright.PENANAg8YulIEFt9
波可走到頂樓中央,碩大的龍頭從女兒牆後方探了出來,白龍的上半身攀住牆垣,就在霍金走到天空下時,牠張開了嘴:386Please respect copyright.PENANANHSIlMiLZR
386Please respect copyright.PENANAA8djjuoNG9
「我有話要問萵苣先生,」386Please respect copyright.PENANAy4nnkWJWG5
386Please respect copyright.PENANADSWdmQxRJZ
「什麼事?」霍金在心底暗叫不妙,他可不能讓小白在勇者面前亂講話。386Please respect copyright.PENANAMJIBCL0gBR
386Please respect copyright.PENANA3wvQDKVeP7
「你還會再回來這裡嗎?」386Please respect copyright.PENANA5sl8Llm7wz
386Please respect copyright.PENANAzM1F7WXduj
白龍一語中的,其實他也不曉得自己想不想與煩人的巫師永別,但他隱約知道父王八成欠了某人一堆人情……「如果涅澤爾希望的話,我是有可能再回來。」這麼說應該既貼合現況、又不會觸怒白龍、也不會在勇者面前顯得很奇怪。386Please respect copyright.PENANAqM6Nn7hvMY
386Please respect copyright.PENANACDiRAT3Teo
「你說的是可能,萵苣先生。」386Please respect copyright.PENANAMVsLCD75Zx
386Please respect copyright.PENANAavQCqt3Z4A
還有外人在,他可不能隨便答話,而且他總覺得要是一個弄不好,小白說不定就不肯帶波可回家了,霍金想了想回道:386Please respect copyright.PENANAIqRU2h5kq8
386Please respect copyright.PENANANFN7jk38en
「可能代表『突發狀況或既定事項之外的情形』,例如,他要是在有重臣會議的時候找我,我自然抽不開身,或者波可在我們約定的日子生病了,我當然得留下來照顧牠。」386Please respect copyright.PENANA4WMQQCnYfz
386Please respect copyright.PENANATvnwHHFLgE
白龍似乎被他說服了,牠朝前攤開雙爪,伸到獵犬腳邊,「那麼,我希望之後還能看到你,萵苣先生。請讓波可上來吧,還有那位人類。」386Please respect copyright.PENANAja3GrFNbtb
