「伊咘西萊,艾斯托利克在哪裡?」他著蹲坐身旁的伊咘西萊打開地圖為他指路。殘破的羊皮紙下端是一片橫跨世界兩大水域的大陸,就如一個敦厚的容器盛住北面兩個大國。413Please respect copyright.PENANAntY1Bv1fmM

「斯圖希安國界裡就只有南端這個港口會有船可以直達艾斯托利克,只是……」伊咘西萊的食指盤旋在地圖中央的淺色區塊納悶著,地圖終究是世界的縮影,動指之處卻已是遠至百里之外。望向旁邊昏倒下來的貝塔,他也意識到如此遠旅似乎也太不切實際。沉思間,只見阿爾法再度立身,緩緩走向高台邊緣。413Please respect copyright.PENANAgqEVovsOVj

瞬間,白銀世界裡,只剩下微風喘動之音,茫然勸告束手無策的他們放棄僅餘希望。眺望遠方,大地早就覆埋雲海下,不復而見。如此景色映射於翠綠雙瞳中,傾聽著身邊茫茫氣流擦過耳邊;閉上雙眼間,眼簾裡的殘像是個拭去濃厚雲海的大地,在大陸邊緣正是一個座落海邊的建築群,與地平線後未知的國度隔海相望。413Please respect copyright.PENANAbrYTUYrDMY

413Please respect copyright.PENANA9Rx9F5D5b6
413Please respect copyright.PENANAMiKoBKzLr4
眼簾裡殘像隨意識大步靠近那海邊建築群,耳邊伊咘西萊突如的叫喊亦隨此愈漸朦朧。在眼睛再度張開之際,白銀世界裡所見一切、還有面露慌張的小子與倒地不起的少女,都被嘈雜的海港城市所取代。再次踏足文明聚集處,阿爾法並無空暇品味人間風情,搖曳著披風奔向大陸邊端,很快便注意到停泊在欄杆後的船舶。見此,他提起腳踝攀上欄柵,嘗試爬到上方躍進海邊的船隻。413Please respect copyright.PENANA3BvoqkEoaV

413Please respect copyright.PENANAsxh7nfgJgN
「喂!小子你在幹嗎?」然而,兩腳才剛踩上了橫柱,便突如聽見一把厲聲從後喝止,往後一看,見兩個船夫站在下方仰視他。413Please respect copyright.PENANAU7q7RGMHAh

413Please respect copyright.PENANARrFlHcGnzx
413Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ8ULTwA4f
在船夫們叫囂下,阿爾法緩緩回到地面,其後又緊隨兩人帶領來到聳立海邊的建物下,走到簷篷下碩大的「往艾斯托利克」牌匾下方。413Please respect copyright.PENANAejhiuGP6VZ
413Please respect copyright.PENANAiyzDn4KUsg
413Please respect copyright.PENANAtZvVcr9drD
「一位嗎?盛惠十二定天。」坐在牌匾下的大漢機械式伸出手掌等待阿爾法掏出用以交易的金屬圓幣。413Please respect copyright.PENANAwGxShH7mzy

413Please respect copyright.PENANAusXAHDDJMC
413Please respect copyright.PENANATkrf8N49oF
見對方如此一問,使阿爾法略顯迷茫。以往一切,但凡牽扯到金錢交易,都由伊咘西萊和貝塔一一解決;如今兩人身處遠方,再沒法為他解決如此一種俗世煩憂。413Please respect copyright.PENANAiBdTzqNPYP
413Please respect copyright.PENANAyMYqlZAMj1
413Please respect copyright.PENANAl5b7eQuxn7
「別浪費我的時間好嗎,小子?下一位下一位。」大漢站立起來,一臉不耐煩的推開阿爾法,並主動招手呼叫簷篷外站著的兩個人。「兩位去艾斯托利克嗎?盛惠二十四定天。」413Please respect copyright.PENANAFM5znWlzID

413Please respect copyright.PENANAioDkOYleRC

阿爾法一轉身,映在眼裡是久違的柔伊和克西,雙雙慢步靠近他跟前。413Please respect copyright.PENANA6sZDO5Qn2h
413Please respect copyright.PENANAS3c9fNmMFi
413Please respect copyright.PENANAjaRVGVKZ3h
「啊哈。也就是說我現在找到貝塔小姐的話,就可以輕易抱得美人歸了,對嗎?」克西仍是擺出一副不在乎的樣子,四處張望,偷偷移步嘗試離開柔伊視線去尋找貝塔影蹤。413Please respect copyright.PENANAOWBKoCiHzd
413Please respect copyright.PENANA7JN46o0M1d
413Please respect copyright.PENANA0ubD4MoHr6
「克西你給我閉嘴!」柔伊喝令著,一手便抓住鬼祟的克西,再道:「你出現在這裡,是要去艾斯托利克嗎?」413Please respect copyright.PENANAuCNTgEwbHn
413Please respect copyright.PENANAcxfhlJ6Nma
413Please respect copyright.PENANA0iAQgC3YRy
「嗯,為了拯救貝塔……可是我沒有十二定天,那是什麼?」413Please respect copyright.PENANA3M3pzHcAEY
413Please respect copyright.PENANAPqBoCS2s5e
413Please respect copyright.PENANAt3xSEeYiuS
「你好。這裡合共三十六定天,請給我三張船票。」聽見阿爾法這麽一說,柔伊只摸摸頭額懊惱片刻,其後便從行裝裡取出錢包,向大漢排出三個金幣和六個銀幣,換來三張牛皮紙製成的船票,並領著兩人往碼頭方向走去。413Please respect copyright.PENANAZFZtW9j4ar
413Please respect copyright.PENANAoYziSMYQ3w
413Please respect copyright.PENANAT0JLuzmP7U
登上船舶之後,三人在飄搖的船艙裡找了個位置坐下。望著獨個兒坐在對面座位的阿爾法,柔伊心裡已是疑問盡露。身無分文的阿爾法為何突然出現眼前已是其次,她更好奇在他們分別之後短暫時刻裡,到底是什麼經緯讓阿爾法單獨出現在距離幻神山脈百里之外的港口區,還有他口中「要拯救貝塔」這句,冥冥中為本已不明朗的前路添上一抹迷霧。413Please respect copyright.PENANAyYGwWgtur8
413Please respect copyright.PENANAsJXonk8fgb
413Please respect copyright.PENANAga1HayEzGw
「阿爾法,貝塔姐姐和伊咘西萊……是不是發生什麼事了?」她率先開口問道,換來便是對方點頭默認。看他低下頭,幾乎要在如此窘境下陷入迷思,柔伊幾乎可以肯定情況也許是凶多吉少,也沒打算再追問下去。413Please respect copyright.PENANAHXB8ocoA0d

413Please respect copyright.PENANARM9Lc8ifhM
聽眼前兩人接力說了一番話,理解隻字片語的阿爾法,卻無法完全明瞭綴合成句所表達之意。時間隨思緒而流逝,被海洋隔絕的大地亦漸漸從地平線末端露出。413Please respect copyright.PENANAHpN6V7xFP8

「看到包圍艾斯托利克國境的結界嗎?那是用以阻止任何以空路入境的屏障……派恩哥哥之前說過,它的構造就連轉移術式也能抵擋。」413Please respect copyright.PENANAIkGK5AJL2Y

「要是直接用妳那個魔什麼之針飛過去的話,本大爺優雅的身段大概就會直接掉到海溝裡去了。」
「魔旅者之針。你就不能認真一秒鐘嗎?我們這趟可不是去旅行的!」
柔伊與克西打鬧間,阿爾法這下才知道自己從山峰瞬步即達港口之術,以至那時從魔導大學引領至幻神山脈的原理,被世人稱作轉移術式,同時也為自己沒有直接利用它抵達艾斯托利克本土而暗自慶幸著。413Please respect copyright.PENANABFJhmtzGxI

不久,客船終於靠近艾斯托利克港口。三人隨著人流從船艙步出,進入入境廳裡接受入境登記手續。413Please respect copyright.PENANAW6dWV80Opq
413Please respect copyright.PENANAVPeoWUW2vm
413Please respect copyright.PENANAsSW9oNCfeV

413Please respect copyright.PENANAzRevJr1t0h
413Please respect copyright.PENANARBDSQbRH0z
經過入境審查員簡單歡迎過後,未止的步伐沿著通路徑直走出碼頭區域,正式踏足以記錄歷史傳承而聞名的島國──艾斯托利克的國土。
