魔獸爭鬥的情況遠比我想像的還要嚴重許多。330Please respect copyright.PENANAOTHQLs4cDX
330Please respect copyright.PENANATOkNg2u9Sw
進入平原之後,即使我們所行走的方向是守衛隊所選出最為安全的路線,才只是前進不到一小時的時間,就已經遭遇數十次的魔獸攻擊。330Please respect copyright.PENANASkTPk1pDFM
330Please respect copyright.PENANANInst8LAKM
牠們並不是前仆後繼地不斷衝上來送死,而是像狩獵一樣,有系統、有組織,會判斷局勢那樣向我們發起攻擊。330Please respect copyright.PENANAb7hhyF4vgt
330Please respect copyright.PENANAnfMfwhzrzR
而一旦發現不是我們的對手之後,又會相當迅速的撤退。330Please respect copyright.PENANAqvrmB5gja3
330Please respect copyright.PENANA4eCLZpRvCl
怪不得守衛隊的人沒辦法獨自處理這種事情。330Please respect copyright.PENANAv6sjcbYM8L
330Please respect copyright.PENANAR8Zrc9acSX
不管守衛隊他們再厲害,也不可能追著撤退的魔獸們打下去,甚至我也注意到,撤退離開的魔獸群並不是再也不會回來攻擊,牠們居然在撤退後只要重整五分鐘左右,就會再度捲土重來!330Please respect copyright.PENANA9HYikB4wEU
330Please respect copyright.PENANALoAFuadVCz
照這種模式,就算他們成功調用軍隊的幫助,也不可能解決這一次的事件。330Please respect copyright.PENANAU1JmKf6iBf
330Please respect copyright.PENANA019T2Ar3W0
「到底有完沒完……喂,你就不能做點什麼一勞永逸的事情嗎?」330Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ6xSA0GKK
330Please respect copyright.PENANAt3IxCPClQf
這段路程走不到一半的時間,路易就已經表現出不耐煩的模樣,不過他還是忍到現在,在隊伍不得不停下來休息的時候,才跑過來跟我抱怨。330Please respect copyright.PENANAIrUrgcyJ8M
330Please respect copyright.PENANAPVqHK4VZqz
「我必須維持完整的生態平衡,否則不論做什麼事,都不可能一勞永逸的。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAUWhn4EyHMG
330Please respect copyright.PENANA1ITiDnanHv
我架起一個巨大的結界,讓疲憊的隊員們可以好好休息,才對路易解釋,他看起來很不滿,但是似乎因為能理解我所說的話,所以沒有說出更多抱怨。330Please respect copyright.PENANAXfgVTfQPNr
330Please respect copyright.PENANA8flMhqT7DO
「沒有想到特魯迪平原的情況會嚴重到這種地步,如果不是大人的加入,就算我申請到神殿人員的支援,也絕對沒辦法走到平原的內部。」330Please respect copyright.PENANA5aXvd09yZK
330Please respect copyright.PENANAYPh7X6LT6J
把成員們的事情整頓結束,亞岱爾也走到我這邊對我說著想法,我望向一旁守衛隊的隊長,他的表情看起來也和亞岱爾一樣,想要把調查的突破口放在我身上。330Please respect copyright.PENANA6HAoiXXfI3
330Please respect copyright.PENANAnfTHUL4jif
但是現在我也一點頭緒都沒有啊……330Please respect copyright.PENANAk0EEQs0jwJ
330Please respect copyright.PENANAfSnQ7dwQ6P
這些魔獸們完全沒有瘋狂的跡象,在成群狩獵的模式下也不像是受到控制而盲目的攻擊,我察覺不到任何導致牠們出現攻擊性的外力魔法,感覺上,這些爭鬥全是出自於魔獸們本能的意願而出現的。330Please respect copyright.PENANAhABWPy5y0t
330Please respect copyright.PENANA7bk5JJAHUe
「你們……能大概推測這個區域的爭鬥,是為了什麼而展開嗎?」330Please respect copyright.PENANARsXp2UVkMB
330Please respect copyright.PENANAYac9GyWGkw
作為調查團的核心成員們都圍到我這裡,並且坐下休息後,我才開口這麼問道。330Please respect copyright.PENANAH6mIAvVJnF
330Please respect copyright.PENANA2CIvlyH2Hi
聽到我的問題,大家相互望了望,最後由守衛隊隊長帶頭說起。330Please respect copyright.PENANALeknTgdMHy
330Please respect copyright.PENANA72tHIaoXQ0
「唯一會引起魔獸爭鬥的原因,大多都是為了地盤、或是配偶,地盤的爭奪基本就是未來整個群體的優良生長環境,但是特魯迪平原這麼大,牠們沒道理這時候突然為了整個平原打起來。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAAViko4bs7K
330Please respect copyright.PENANAkJaU3Dbl0y
「況且,地盤的爭奪,只要一方敗退而逃跑,就已經奠定了接下來的統治者,我從來沒見過想現在這樣,撤退後又再度來挑戰的情況。」330Please respect copyright.PENANA4YwwwM3pui
330Please respect copyright.PENANAb85f73rU31
他這樣說完,同樣作為守衛隊、瞭解平原生態的其他人都同意的點頭。330Please respect copyright.PENANAmJHj8OehHQ
330Please respect copyright.PENANAsH86YWNvki
「所以一開始,我們是猜測,會不會是有什麼邪神在平原內部興風作浪,逼退了那些魔獸,使牠們不得不在外圍進行爭奪。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAvYVgo7xKKB
330Please respect copyright.PENANAfixM7Kz6A9
我搖搖頭,邪神的手段沒有那麼溫和,還會讓牠們有辦法跑到外面來生活,祂絕對是把所有能掌控的生物都吸收到自己手下的。330Please respect copyright.PENANAPmzGERpRHb
330Please respect copyright.PENANAbeC8Jmy97m
「那就是牠們在爭奪的東西,主要不是這個區域,只是剛好關係到這個區域吧?」330Please respect copyright.PENANAbTdUkZiND4
330Please respect copyright.PENANAeJlQ2lpqBA
路易在這時候開口,雖然他不是這次會議的主要成員,但因為算是我在照顧的人,所以他們也讓他參與這個臨時討論。330Please respect copyright.PENANAAS1iysnBhO
330Please respect copyright.PENANAiWDgcsnzrS
不過有他在,我認為他比較能夠擴展我們的思考方向。330Please respect copyright.PENANASLuqnWtrwj
330Please respect copyright.PENANAOz11RnF7kM
「這是一個不錯的思考模式。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAivU7qWyK5l
330Please respect copyright.PENANAUcgosbHHJc
我主動開口,讓路易可以繼續說下去。330Please respect copyright.PENANAErTqevMtzs
330Please respect copyright.PENANAJWP5tqN0dp
「因為我不覺得這次的事件跟邪神有什麼關係,相信現在的大家想法也一樣,我在想,搞不好是那裡冒出來什麼東西,可以讓那些魔獸受益,所以牠們才會開始爭奪。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAWDUxOg4RHM
330Please respect copyright.PENANAp0bUKMh6fM
聽著路易的話,我低頭思考起來,老實說,這個猜測很符合目前的情況,但問題就在這個地方。330Please respect copyright.PENANAUW4k3WNMV3
330Please respect copyright.PENANAvKVSggHTvt
我們要怎麼在這麼大一個平原裡面,找到那個魔獸們爭奪的東西?330Please respect copyright.PENANAfr59q7sMTm
330Please respect copyright.PENANA7cmv3w6RLI
……沒辦法了,做實驗吧,生物實驗。330Please respect copyright.PENANA7KON8KGiYA
330Please respect copyright.PENANAUdRKcyGD9X
「……抓一隻起來。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAqXwNcTi6gk
330Please respect copyright.PENANAPpLE8qlKyY
我這麼說道,不過他們沒聽懂我在說什麼,個個一臉疑惑但看著我。330Please respect copyright.PENANA5da8kFHEaO
330Please respect copyright.PENANAiATynCRCcj
「再猜測下去也只會陷入無限循環,我決定直接抓一隻魔獸來解析,了解牠們身上究竟發生什麼事。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAWaJi6CjSIv
330Please respect copyright.PENANARTlH83IKpY
我這麼一說完,在場成員們面面相覷,也不知道是贊同還是反對,不過我也沒打算理會這陣沉默,不講話我就當你們都沒意見了。330Please respect copyright.PENANAtMjsNqk2m8
330Please respect copyright.PENANAZzmsLpSlTM
於是我站起來,逕自往結界的邊緣走過去,而一起開會的成員們見到我走動起來,自然也不敢擅自離開,於是全員都往我身後跟過來。330Please respect copyright.PENANAMArrX974nd
330Please respect copyright.PENANAMJjq30Tth6
我的結界設置了生物驅離,所以不會在隊員們休息的時候在外面虎視眈眈,一走到邊緣後,我立刻修改結界的設定,引誘附近的魔獸們過來。330Please respect copyright.PENANA3RW9hecZxg
330Please respect copyright.PENANA0TRp3KtgCd
正好附近區域裡有一群尖嘯獅,牠們一感受到生物的存在之後,立刻整群都衝過來,想要把我們給擊退,見到這樣都反應,我開始覺得路易的猜測可能沒有錯了。330Please respect copyright.PENANAVHREqh5emO
330Please respect copyright.PENANAucKKNphb0U
因為牠們不是想要把我們趕盡殺絕,牠們跟我們一樣,也只是想要把我們趕走,不是想要殺褥、也不是想要進食。330Please respect copyright.PENANAg6qVWbtP7u
330Please respect copyright.PENANAyTekSZExBx
這種時候就更必須抓一隻來實驗看看得到是哪裡有問題了。330Please respect copyright.PENANAUoa3xVpRdX
330Please respect copyright.PENANA7P4VZKeH5K
……是說,這幾隻尖嘯獅是不是長的特別大隻?330Please respect copyright.PENANAh9BdXoswfJ
330Please respect copyright.PENANAoWUl3FNquz
雖然說老虎本來就很大隻了,但是這一些……根本是比牛還要大隻了吧!330Please respect copyright.PENANA5hUW6NEQAh
330Please respect copyright.PENANAgONjgtfhoz
好詭異,這該不會也是跟牠們所爭奪的東西有關吧?330Please respect copyright.PENANAjMx3yMlQyC
330Please respect copyright.PENANAy1ICjErBJV
我先利用龍壓震懾這些凶猛的生物,接著使用馴服技能,那幾十頭兇殘的尖嘯獅立刻溫馴的跟貓咪一下,整群在我面前乖乖趴下。330Please respect copyright.PENANAxXuDvGKkeA
330Please respect copyright.PENANArClR5FFhtZ
「你真的是一個很誇張的傢伙。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAoqjevFbohO
330Please respect copyright.PENANAVqtaB1TDE7
走在後面的路易直接對我吐槽,少囉唆,有本事你自己也去當那些神的跑腿啊!330Please respect copyright.PENANAJr2vOWPumW
330Please respect copyright.PENANAxlJa7QQFTv
「艾利法大人……這也許不是我的錯覺……牠們是不是……比原本應有的體現要大了許多?」330Please respect copyright.PENANAADmiOMDmOS
330Please respect copyright.PENANAh5EVTXCPuD
其中一個守衛隊的成員忍不住問道。330Please respect copyright.PENANANrEMzadPWk
330Please respect copyright.PENANA4sn45MAqmi
「你沒有想錯,牠們確實大了一倍以上。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAf9hwJRP9iZ
330Please respect copyright.PENANADYduZVyixR
我抬手在臣服的尖嘯獅身上釋放魔法,開始掃描牠們身上是得到了什麼,才會成長成現在這個樣子。330Please respect copyright.PENANAiUMsOV8c05
330Please respect copyright.PENANAwR2hgGbiDI
……有點奇怪。330Please respect copyright.PENANA3zy47zzxv4
330Please respect copyright.PENANAYuArG0DVLP
我忍不住這樣想著。330Please respect copyright.PENANAGRm3q2WFAW
330Please respect copyright.PENANApVaGE0f5IU
「查到什麼了?」330Please respect copyright.PENANAy4Osiux1zl
330Please respect copyright.PENANACPGnM1qpP6
直到我聽見路易的聲音之後才回過神。330Please respect copyright.PENANAB5gExbXskq
330Please respect copyright.PENANA4qAQCpiHYI
「牠們的身體裡面有種東西在促使牠們成長。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAuqXDuxyWgV
330Please respect copyright.PENANA5lQRCv5GR3
「哈?」330Please respect copyright.PENANAbCT5AtlebQ
330Please respect copyright.PENANA745UqV9q16
我看向路易那張什麼都聽不懂的表情,呃……要怎麼講才能讓他們可以聽懂?330Please respect copyright.PENANAldliRE8DYf
330Please respect copyright.PENANAbuG7kJRHuE
「有一種原本不屬於牠們體內應有的……能量,在無形的改變牠們的身體力量,但是那股能量不是魔法、但與魔法的形態非常相似,它是……一種我無法理解的物質……」330Please respect copyright.PENANAKk3sYnJx3B
完蛋,這樣講有人能懂嗎?330Please respect copyright.PENANAlFwO8Uzr4a
330Please respect copyright.PENANA3TYAbMni3K
「你是說,有一種不是魔法的東西使牠們產生異變?」330Please respect copyright.PENANArknKK3Jj84
330Please respect copyright.PENANABTs5ha0YSl
好,謝謝你,路易,從今以後,我認命你成為我的翻譯官。330Please respect copyright.PENANAy29dUvFgMj
330Please respect copyright.PENANAcWh4AK9paB
「可以這樣說。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAChDEFRhLXM
330Please respect copyright.PENANAmvrsHKSB5V
聽懂我在是什麼之後,旁邊那些隊員們開始著急了。330Please respect copyright.PENANAN1jv7ol1RA
330Please respect copyright.PENANAZRT7fUJvrz
「大人!您能夠查出那個異變的來源是什麼嗎?」330Please respect copyright.PENANAbwVp5JsNwu
330Please respect copyright.PENANAhSC6yEQrLo
「我試過了,但有些困難。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAb236ghgd4G
330Please respect copyright.PENANA78szpMZnCj
因為不是魔法的關係,我沒辦法追蹤能量的來源,這很讓我困擾。330Please respect copyright.PENANA6POFf5BE34
330Please respect copyright.PENANAgiunnjuSyU
「不能像之前一樣用那什麼、信號基地台找嗎?」330Please respect copyright.PENANAo6JYBIFmcU
330Please respect copyright.PENANA3QKq9Kehzp
「不能,它不是那種能量。」330Please respect copyright.PENANANoFQBVQrZr
330Please respect copyright.PENANAT9ON2NoMnA
你也是很會講一些奇怪的話啊,路易。330Please respect copyright.PENANAtKqh6rZJ0M
330Please respect copyright.PENANAiJjE7pY2dO
「我現在試試看,能不能讓牠們來帶領我們過去牠們想要搶奪的地區,也許可以找到一點線索也說不定。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAooFPWrICPg
330Please respect copyright.PENANAausRPMs6vr
帶隊的亞岱爾和守衛隊領隊分別點頭,同意我的決定,我正想要動作的時候,路易突然又開口。330Please respect copyright.PENANAYS0Yz8Wen2
330Please respect copyright.PENANArBoLIW1hRs
「你確定走近平原中心還要帶著他們嗎?」330Please respect copyright.PENANA0fDHRQQzao
330Please respect copyright.PENANAoLgLig8Pkc
嗯?這孩子在說什麼?330Please respect copyright.PENANA3sQRPQPkUp
330Please respect copyright.PENANAyj41Z8KqPH
我轉頭看向他,結果正好看到他一臉不耐煩的模樣……臭小鬼。330Please respect copyright.PENANAxUnsnDgHja
330Please respect copyright.PENANALU6Odd7ebl
「我說,你自己也不確定這裡造成問題的是什麼東西吧?還要帶著這些絆腳石去礙事嗎?」330Please respect copyright.PENANA8jKoXXrWyM
330Please respect copyright.PENANAq174m27GZq
你就……不能幫其他人留點面子嗎?330Please respect copyright.PENANApyBM5KSfhU
330Please respect copyright.PENANAwjbI3wqSvX
雖然說你的想法確實有注意的必要性,但是也不用講的這麼難聽吧……330Please respect copyright.PENANAvUwnRrYV3n
330Please respect copyright.PENANA7xjc7kFntv
算了這種事根本不能期待。330Please respect copyright.PENANA68HBv9bgP4
330Please respect copyright.PENANAoc3uG3PglD
「亞岱爾,你認為呢?」330Please respect copyright.PENANAG1qouDV87T
330Please respect copyright.PENANAtGxnVmcqBJ
有路易這樣提醒之後,我確實也覺得不能再讓這些人跟著,但畢竟他們還是負責這裡安全的人,我想還是聽聽他們的意見再決定比較好。330Please respect copyright.PENANAnDrftOCgCt
330Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ1OvTi1w8
守衛隊的人不理解路易,可能會因為被惹怒而說出些感情用事的話,但是亞岱爾知道路易,也就能理解我話中的意思了,至少不是讓我再一次給他們打擊。330Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZdPWmXgcP
330Please respect copyright.PENANAYo2GQhnElr
「如果真的發生什麼事件,我們無法確保所有人都能夠安全的離開平原。」330Please respect copyright.PENANAjdCF7JnEJU
330Please respect copyright.PENANAYbRGOhgFaP
亞岱爾果然明白我的意思,馬上就幫大家找了一個台階下。330Please respect copyright.PENANA6Jskger9VD
330Please respect copyright.PENANABqpdvyDqkM
他一開口,周邊那些隊員們便一同看著他。330Please respect copyright.PENANATQa6Cb4DaT
330Please respect copyright.PENANAGU32UHyarK
「各位,安全起見,特魯狄平原的調查就交給艾利法大人吧?」330Please respect copyright.PENANAfZ0tW8snhQ
330Please respect copyright.PENANAeibFo3wK26
雖然成員們看起來不是很滿意亞岱爾的決定,但是這整個調查團裡面有八成人員都是冒險者,而他們是因為請託才自願過來的,再怎麼說都不好拒絕他的決定。330Please respect copyright.PENANAEd846KoLEm
330Please respect copyright.PENANAO44Rvrd8Ga
因此雖然不滿,守衛隊的人們還是勉強同意了這個決定。330Please respect copyright.PENANAfKHT10Gja1
330Please respect copyright.PENANATiEnQd0s8k
「塞克利,你護送團員們回到平原邊緣,再回來和我們回合。」330Please respect copyright.PENANADW0g3HtG0b
330Please respect copyright.PENANAqpzytRgQu3
在我下達指令之後,我讓路易和芮妮,還有我家的尤納留下來,目送著調查離開視線之後,才接著繼續前進。330Please respect copyright.PENANAojarzpUEXj
