走進森林的起始點，這裡與弓箭手村和六條岔道的地形很不一樣。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs978opXpwN
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04DMzbzWKs
將樹木鋸成一節節，鋪平在草原的泥地中作為道路，同時亦有盤根錯節的藤蔓作為裝飾。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2wNI5aSji
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ0ivtq2wm
這座森林雖然被巨木所籠罩，但陽光還是能透過大樹間隙照耀進來，並不會讓人感到陰森。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR8LLJJN7z
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqbIL8My0w
「往村子的方向是這邊嗎？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgJwppSc00
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx6l91FGCh
「我想想……不是的！應該得從上面的入口進入才對。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEwSvuBuUy
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R2R3hrLB1
克里斯示意安提娜跟著自己。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIphO40fC2a
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPBauYqnVl
兩人踩著木製繩梯與巨木藤蔓，一路爬到了高處的樹洞入口。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV44uVyt24Z
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLjDJ4l6cC
「這裡如果沒人帶的話，真的會迷路呢。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2NY4ZHmYc
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdmyA6JYO7
「沒錯，雖然我前不久才從這裡離開，但還是覺得很複雜。也怕會給妳帶錯路。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFcAxQ5b7g
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpzOTls4nh
聽他這麼一說，少女突然想到昨天和艾瑪聊天的內容。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46xyLUxeKt
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoacNRyRUFT
「話說，你是什麼時候立志要當法師的？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb05Br1I2W
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFojpCejJRJ
「這、這個......」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe2M1ls9en
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Nb5pPLIB
剛好昨晚從艾瑪那裡聽到他的過去，就順勢這麼問起。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAqLra06en
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVQfySvsyc
不過被這麼一問的少年變得口吃，顯然有些答不上來。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnbjsBwS3v
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu72707sLv
或許真如艾瑪說的一般，克里斯突然選擇法師的背後，真有什麼難言之隱。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3oxgb1KD1
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr51zOF6FL
兩人雖然對話著，但是步伐沒有因此而停下；不過對於少女的問題，少年隔了一下子才給出回應。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadQ0fUReTz
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3XufLhhLM
「大概是一年半前吧。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflisQliMse
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP3GFuTg5l
「那你怎麼沒當劍士呢？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dQYx106Bu
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoZbXDjFnd
克里斯突然驚訝起來，立刻想到唯一的可能性。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUipFq8clPJ
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1EZk0P0AO
「是艾瑪說的嗎......？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzbzvm8hXY
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKw4mns5aj
「昨天我們剛好有聊到。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2zWaUW08H
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9vK24wb2q
少年的表情看來似乎有些消沈，安提娜察覺後，覺得自己應該別問才好，而且也並非真的很好奇。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbPOhGl4gA
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR8H51OA7f
「抱歉，是我多嘴了。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO818h6ERby
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdLzH8DoES
「沒關係......其實理由挺無聊的，所以我才不太想說。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlfSrRVqOi
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTFnRKfgOF
克里斯尷尬講到的同時，表情充斥著一絲沮喪。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlhyqJMi8c
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wyTXD74aU
之後，或許一部分也是想轉移焦點，輪到他向少女詢問。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfGvIiZKxG
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0DFcEo2yX
「那妳怎麼想當劍士？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqnAng4Dre
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmCIanLfnc
「算是個偶然吧。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmB9JNnplZ
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0VutCkbD7
被如此問到的少女思考了一會。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQq8H118ym
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0cIEzzm8G
「會讓我成為劍士的原因出在幫助我的人身上。因為他本身擅長劍技外也瞭解我力量的特性。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0hYx9Npp8
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JCAZKpJOl
「力量的特性？」克里斯不太明白。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtGIBqrFVB
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf927mnZ1Y4
「嗯……該怎麼解釋才好……」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2KlW52o8O
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUdpdnkI6q
少女遲疑了一會，才接著向他解釋：59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA7qXsnxhH
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohanwtCI65
「這股力量是從魔族根源延伸而來的憤怒之力。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxyYAM116z
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxpCUylXFd
「原來是這樣......。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2xs9hhUwx
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0jQ8o6U3N
出乎意料的，聽到少女提到魔族，少年的反應意外來得普通。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZL5PvMnQu
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODsVm3He8H
而少女也想到了最大的可能性。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bzxtWdfLF
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56qnhSGlU4
「難道你已經知道我是魔族混血了嗎？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIHbNPVu4W
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRQ5o7BG43
「因為一開始，就有從艾瑪那裡聽說了。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu93oDCkOrB
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQk0Kbt7ht
果然是這樣——不過安提娜並沒有責怪艾瑪的意思。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8fX36Bkgb
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EnpOFtvj5
「米克森和維德也知道嗎？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJudsohjRO
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM53KGUZWV
少年嗯聲點了點頭。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7S4O30EE2
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBpajOdVnS
「那你們，為什麼還願意跟我一起組隊呢？魔族在人類的眼中應該沒留下什麼好印象。我之前剛來到弓箭手村時，也曾主動透露自己是魔族混血的事情，結果差點引來大麻煩⋯⋯」安提娜說到這裡，不禁嘆了口氣。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclp7ZCNlvm
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfQZJpPllS
少女因此有點想知道艾瑪之外的這些少年對自己又是什麼樣的看法。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9fl1zZBZp
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugyByOlfna
克里斯聽見她這麼一說，稍微陷入了沈默。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT6IS3drSm
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxcK9qp2gZ
「雖然有聽說過曾經的魔族軍團長幫助人類一起對抗黑魔法師，但前幾年剛發生的世界樹事件，一時間也讓人很難不對魔族起防範之心吧……」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yCLbBR6ML
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyTWwXvI4g
少年說出自己的觀點。雖然身為普通人並不了解當時事件的細部內容，但其中的部份情況即使是普通百姓也都略知一二。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XqpGqx1aW
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsKCvN3J18
然而，克里斯接下來對少女說的才是重點，也是讓少女感到欣慰的理由。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yhU8MaBUh
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0QFhB1L7D
「不過這些事情都與妳無關，我們自然沒有必要害怕或者防範妳不是嗎？而且當初艾瑪還特地下了馬威，叫我們不能對妳有偏見；其實就算她別提，我也絕對不會做那種事的，相信米克和維德哥也是如此。」克里斯繼續說道：59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I1BItvmEF
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQSwhgCfff
「而且雖然跟妳沒有講到很多話，但我依然覺得妳與我們沒什麼不同。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGRqE52sY7
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjx2LartyN
不只是艾瑪，少年克里斯此刻說的話也讓少女感到欣慰。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DpyqtPRV6
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s1THWKtaV
「而且我甚至將妳視作學習的對象。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYXf4k7ikr
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajkWDsNNyb
「誒？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFiciPYBli
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtGxPQYx8X
少女突然聽到什麼奇妙的話，發出疑惑的聲音，接著問道：59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09NnbQiBT9
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4OnS1uJEu
「學習的對象，這怎麼說呢？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJNfUJYMSW
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiFWE0zDdN
真的無法理解，安提娜認為少年應該是誤會了什麼。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wvcvz4hoK
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthhtqUCygo
「妳的認真，還有妳面對怪物時那種無所畏懼的姿態。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo54tEGc6Gc
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUO7UjdvbK
果然，如她猜想的一般，他是真的誤會了。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQPCD0e85g
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlbJbWJWJn
自己才不是所謂的強大，甚至無比懦弱；讓自己邁出步伐的，也只是建立在悲哀之上的意念罷了。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr8DYIP4Au
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUZFNfst0U
「其實我並非你想的那樣。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbFDdTnWJi
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHRNIvna3Q
這次輪到少女沉著頭部，流露出和剛才少年類似的表情，無奈地道出這句話語。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfobrB54O6o
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTphUYtjcSo
「以前在魔族時，我通常都是群體裡面最弱小的，甚至到後來⋯⋯能活著離開也是因為他以自己生命保護了我。」她的聲音有點顫抖與沙啞。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl8qP7COsw
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKesUyXuOP
克里斯第一次看到這麼消沈的安提娜，有點驚訝的同時也想給予她安慰，但又不知道該如何做才好。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LZF7qNnux
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6xeDyLeQJ
對於少女來說，那可能是永遠的痛楚，也是讓她堅定信念的理由。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuA7uqTy1t
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLlbeIyota
僅僅如此而已——少女並不是很想要講到這些，但對於他人在誤解之上的的欣賞，便覺得很是沈重。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalnJ4eJz4a
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvd2WeC7Et
所以有必要讓少年明白，自己並非他所看到的表面那般。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5tx9ERG10
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZYyvIDiC8
而少女說完後，這一次在兩人之間的沈默，維持比剛才還要更長的時間。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9KdDgWP0X
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyri4aImIG
兩人已經穿過森林外圍的道路，又向森林的中心點接近了一些，開始可以看到零星的樹屋建築。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUVkygsmpZ
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmoYvIF1CB
這時，少年終於開口，並且像是鼓起勇氣般先深深吸了一口氣。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYlCm5gvyK
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oAhN8jQDz
「⋯⋯就算是這種原因，我還是喜歡這樣子的妳。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWCq1Yefzs
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvZxdqdZiZ
彷彿告白一般的話語，讓少女不得其解。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡladrsWwRNF
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h9TZ7MBFy
而少年雖然低著頭部，但並非是剛才的那種消沈；只是因為說了那樣子的話，一時間也有點難為情。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L0XLZqAP5
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ270c6dgQvw
不過他還是繼續催促自己說下去。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nLMU0QgGE
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPjfub7vQ1
「這反而讓我知道，原來我和妳並不是那麼遙遠，搞不好還有些相似......」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSgl4FbclL
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA8NS52aMB
少女一時間答不上話，但是隱約明白了少年話中的含義。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjyiQgDxdG
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeSaJAwygU
這時，少年像是又獲得了勇氣般，將頭抬起與少女對視。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc7ecdmny8
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6AKB3KTwl
或許是聽到了少女的過去，使得少年終於跨出屬於自己的一步。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhSNK7Tej2
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1jwFoe3pA
向她說的內容，是關於剛才少女的疑問，也是他原本不想面對的自己。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU71uZ7AR9D
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygvdpi2Zwv
「其實我從小就很沒勇氣，或許是因為這個緣由，才特別憧憬常常衝在最前線戰鬥的劍士。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N3U5SxiN1
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUaYLyfUDf
「可是當我實際拿起了劍，卻覺得一切離我好遙遠。尤其劍士又特別需要近身戰鬥，對於當時的我來說實在是很大的挑戰。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjQ9XPxwqD
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y7iW7oOsZ
安提娜對於克里斯主動坦白的行為，感到有些意外。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWEud3dARL
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKinXQkM8m8
「所以當時依然膽怯的你，才選擇不用近身戰鬥的法師嗎？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLe3sJjeEn
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPchEXY7CT
少年對此點了點頭。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2XWkUaT9L
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtleLWKL43
那對於他來說，應該是最不願意面對、也最脆弱的一部分。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ145fSI6raj
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8LCsWIds1
許多人都習慣隱藏脆弱，就算是在熟人面前，也不代表就能卸下包袱。更何況是對一個認識不過數天的陌生人。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB3y6WlGOC
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdbYgeGYeO
但是，很多事情確實無法用時間來衡量。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIAtFhEPVf
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNTvL1fVup
探其緣由，或許只因少女的話語，讓少年產生了共鳴，促使他打開塵封起來的心門。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX1CakQ3zG
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sdIkGVCgt
「不知道妳從艾瑪那裡聽到了多少。其實她知道的也只是一部分罷了。⋯⋯從小就特別懦弱、總是被欺負的我，實在很想要改變什麼，所以我才跟她一起成為了冒險家。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxljMOt6Sj
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAmKcH1pag
「表面上也許看不太出來我的膽怯，但其實這得多虧艾瑪，才讓我比較自在一些；否則獨自一人時我可能還是會做得一團糟吧⋯⋯」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvRve33yZz
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwoieEev3T
少年已經完全打開了心扉，這是少女沒有料想到的事情。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGTD6eYnL2
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V5EIe9G61
而聽完了他的經歷，少女也終於明白，正是如他所說的那般——自己與他的確有些雷同。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXMjZinEUe
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShhzq850Az
即使現在懷抱的信念各有所異，但溯其本源，那裡有著極為類似的東西。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64OmIQnVJ9
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8qx87csev
不知不覺間，兩人都向對方傾吐了自己的一些心聲。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtbPEeYOg5
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBRiJ5BqGm
在這一趟短暫的路途裡，少年與少女，彼此之間都沒有想過，能夠成為對彼此敞開心房的好友。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVh7ffuc6I
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7u297xiYc
而在兩人之間的氣氛，也隨著彼此的心意交錯，稍微活絡了起來。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBUImFQYoP

通過閃爍森林的道路後，樹屋建築變得密集起來，而且除此之外，眼前的大樹更是島上數一數二的巨大。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfffEEYv3cR
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ugV90wI6H
人們於數百年前開始在這個巨木叢林中建立村子，利用木製繩梯連結樹與樹，讓人們可以自由地在大樹所長出的巨大藤蔓中走動，而不用到達陸地。因此，魔法森林也能算是另類的「浮村」。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaDpuVFE8g
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOksuqoN3PM
至於會被稱作魔法森林的原因，得從久遠以前說起。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77dOuZIUWH
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Un1Q7UJW
這座森林在數百年前叫做艾靈森林，是妖精的居住地，但隨著人類的湧入，漸漸地改變了原有生態，而人們也因此與原來的住民妖精產生了嫌隙，使得這數百年間彼此存有很深的隔閡。是一直到最近幾年，因為眾多冒險者的協助，妖精才逐漸釋懷人類曾經對他們的驅逐。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeREaHHxTy
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Nmw9JRxs
而在這數百年當中，有一位魔法大師——漢斯，在英雄封印黑魔法師的數十年後，選擇在這裡落腳和收徒，並建立起魔法圖書館，使得這裡的魔法師人才輩出，久而久之便得到了「魔法森林」的美名。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZx1XRYHct
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BaJiuGsrP
「漢斯大師是在魔法圖書館裡頭嗎？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba0QPF5Jut
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqJlEjhohz
「沒意外應該是。老師他終日埋首於研究魔法與知識，所以大多的時間都在圖書館裡。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc6X8xIGEe
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOewHqxgw9q
克里斯這麼說完就帶領安提娜移動到一間大樹中央的樹屋，那便是魔法圖書館。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLycqKEw6N
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHbOEIGYYj
一進入內，迎接兩人的是烏黑一片。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4nC3oO8Lv
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQwnu71sxG
這裡的光源僅僅靠著牆邊的幾支蠟燭來維持，讓頭一次來到的少女浮出了問號。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhDzKhDO6f
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OrBP1Menv
不過也在這一刻，少女發現有人在上方的閣樓。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMVKArsdvE
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH9SUQ55an
剛好如同安提娜與克里斯的組合，分別是一個少年和少女；但稍微不同的是，他們明顯都很有活力，為略顯晦暗的圖書館帶來了生機。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTlLgzAa8a
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2ZA37yjs0
上面的少年注意到兩人，首先跳了下來。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwAdo9vWYS
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQw8THMfpS
「請問兩位要找什麼書呢？還是來到這裡是想轉職成為魔法師？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGMQOqQ5dn
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO53PkrEv9D
「都不是的。嗯......恕我冒昧問一下，你是？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsd0ZfyAMr
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NkSNc07gk
安提娜詢問這名年紀看似略長自己一些的少年。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6eBJqF4wy
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeqqdtjxMY
但在少年開口回答前，就有另一道聲音搶先代替他回答。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUSHz1STXl
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtbGJAg1vd
「他是我的師兄哦！叫做艾爾文，是老師的首席弟子。」說話者是克里斯。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ097O0WWCIX
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IKhPsaFY7
「師兄？…………啊！我想到了。你好像叫做克里斯對吧？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQi9ggx6b7
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnx8qacwyW
那名叫做艾爾文的少年思考一會，終於憶起說出自己名字的克里。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6HX0GBjJi
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjH0jvxRym
「這麼快就忘記我！真過份欸！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkI4eFEMvp

「啊不是啦！誰叫這陣子的事情太多了嘛……」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcMZRZBnbf

正當艾爾文說到一半，在上方的另一名少女也跟著來到兩人面前。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x5N59iQKn
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u2pCkz0eL
「你好呀克里，好久不見！最近魔法練得如何呢？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNIcMUPjaM
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW6BJCsP5j
「馬馬虎虎吧，目前正透過冒險中的狩獵努力變強中。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KotHZhQZl
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2KNUcK3YI
面對少女的詢問，克里斯搔了搔自己的後腦勺笑著說道，然後他隨即向一旁的安提娜正式介紹眼前的兩人。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnvxjp9rNN
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO8Vi7NX9l
「跟妳介紹一下：他們是艾爾文和莉莉，都和我一樣是漢斯老師的弟子，而且他們比我還要早接觸魔法，所以是我的前輩。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0UefESHmN
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh3go7e7dT
「然後這位是安提娜，是我旅途中結識的朋友。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfMBvojs7C

克里斯這次換成向艾爾文和莉莉介紹。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomuMywLI6q

「話說你們的身高差很萌欸！」莉莉揚起了嘴角。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVaINQq9at

「啊沒辦法，我就是長不高嘛⋯⋯」克里斯只好這樣自嘲。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DVnAw8V9K

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbjprh4SK1
「喔喔抱歉，哈哈哈⋯⋯」莉莉只好摸了摸頭，尷尬笑著。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap1s2tZ1DO
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscJWkVrt1O
「就跟妳說不要亂幫人家湊cp厚！」艾爾文對莉莉吐槽。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOoDyKzUgX
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpYB0X477E
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBjKRTSOJ7
「那你們說是出任務，是關於什麼的？」短暫的插曲過後，莉莉向兩人詢問道。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6bnPzwQ4c
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIMWgcR3J8
「我們其實是有一件非常重要的事情，必須當面找老師報告。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMODdH5IfTo
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9EPjagQQj
艾爾文與莉莉聽克里這麼說道後，皆好奇地歪著頭，同時詢問：59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ewklEFWiQ
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0gfyqxsRN
「難道你們就是……赫麗娜教官信中說的兩位嗎？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhx79jBQWOJ
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UURbqjwVE
「沒錯，我們正是為了弓箭手村騷亂事件而來。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2EheJ4ONn

59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddAUDk03uS
「可是老師他……」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hWwX2NClD
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmQf7KWGRz
「最近都閉門不出嗎？」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHvFv4msJ8
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4pMM169a5
果然如傳聞中的一樣，而且看得出來莉莉與艾爾文對此很苦惱，但艾爾文為了不讓安提娜與克里斯無功而返，決定再試一次。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoCNFKSkPH
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf54WdaDPlF
他來到老師的房間門前，伸展了一下手指、甩了甩手臂、伴隨著一陣吸氣吐氣，最後他使出了唯一的絕技。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniq1lo67TM
——瘋狂敲門！
即使這個方法少年已經試過不下百次，但始終得不到漢斯的理睬。可現如今有著人們需要幫助，難道這位賢者還是打死不肯出來嗎？59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxcZWbJyKP
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc29E3Cefva
在一陣猛敲過後，少年疲累得癱坐在地上。如果今天換成一般的木門可能早就塌陷了，但是魔法森林是魔法人才輩出的地方，尤其這裡更是漢斯的居所，看上去普通不過的木門可是上有重重的強化魔法。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQAVQDv4ZU
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcZTL1KMmq
少年比起身體傳出的疲勞感，更多的是心理的勞瘁。看來今日還是等不到老師出來了——他心想。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn7Jp56VVo
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tkeaj07n6
不過就在此時，傳出了「嘎吱」的門把轉動聲，瞬間讓眾人死灰復燃似的抬起頭，艾爾文更是直接彈跳了起來。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuX1NabHBJ
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6LpYmDgtS
從房裡走出的是一位全身雪白的長者。他身著白袍、頭戴白帽，配上及胸的白鬍，與這裡的晦暗環境形成鮮明對比。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yl4u4hvR8
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucNRD5w3Ii
他正是楓葉世界智慧與魔法的極致；數十年來培育出無數優秀的魔法人才，身為魔法師協會的代表導師，漢斯。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcgyMV1xfQ
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqxoPRWp54
四人皆喜出望外地說不出話來，喜悅之情頓時浮於顏表。 59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmKNVsWR7H
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv5Ek2RfgM
艾爾文和莉莉搬出了簡易的木製桌椅，之後五人圍桌而坐。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHIpjaOTPG
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V0jEbrxGN
「我有從赫麗娜捎來的書信中大概得知了，不過詳細狀況還請細說一下吧。」漢斯伴著沙啞的嗓音緩緩說著。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgC8BEv5IP
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4VYUogV8S
首先開口報告的是安提娜，她在整理思緒後說道：59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2koBUs7fib
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rgAduQ1nP
「三日前，弓箭手村附近的怪物變得異常兇暴，造成不少前去狩獵的居民受傷，然後到了隔天，就發生了更嚴重的事，怪物入侵了弓箭手村並大肆破壞。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Si5b3z3Nu
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTvVVHRpxS
「嗯……」漢斯邊聽邊點頭，「到底是結界年久失修，還是另有原因呢……這真的得好好調查一番。」漢斯摸著自己的白鬍若有所思地回應。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVQF5QrNQ3
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7TnbJAh4o
「所以，我們這次來便是想請您幫忙分析怪物異常的原因與重新打造結界。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1H08Gtvn3
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVQl41hyCJ
安提娜說完，便從背包中拿出了赫麗娜交予兩人的麻布袋。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN7AtvJj1z
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc3iO7xA3n
「老師，這些就是昨日入侵村子的菇菇與巨人的遺骸。」這次換克里斯開口一說。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHMljMiKVw
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBrb5RpIfA
「好，分析結果我會盡快做出來。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchSO0pPv8l
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn2DpEIRXc
「十分感謝！那是否能再麻煩您幫忙修復結界呢？現在聯盟的援兵到達雖然暫時安全，但一直守在入口也不是辦法。在沒有實際根除怪物入侵的問題之前，居民們各個都人心惶惶。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6czqkZkOp
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeuL1MIQJZ
「當然沒問題。既然影響到了居民的生活起居，自然不能坐視不管，不過因為分析術式屬於高階魔法，仍需要花費一點時間，因此我無法同時兼顧兩者。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpqxpDXdec
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpim5uC4rgo
漢斯搖著頭，並帶著有點抱歉的語氣說道。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvpbFednFW
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmro9Kvbpc
「老師，還有我這個大弟子不是嗎！結界任務就交給我和莉莉吧！」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMISrxLr8Sr
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCzQy6EHx0
一旁默默聽著的艾爾文毛遂自薦，但卻換來漢斯的冷眼一瞪。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8tkv8cEIp
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KezfBgDw0
「你比那些變異怪物還可怕，這樣的任務交給你不知道又會搞出什麼名堂。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPjr5kag9H
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwWxZkRUzX
漢斯同時用法杖敲了艾爾文的頭部。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMONkr2rBb
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmP7cLeZzs
「哎呀呀……」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU0u2Ru7nK
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNWLTQ4vN5
少年因此哀嚎了一聲，然後像是習以為常般地開口：59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIpjmgyB5o
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t4YpnIRBS
「不會啦！至少魔法方面是絕對沒問題的嘛……」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5RuGgcXSa
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9FX48Kc6V
艾爾文雖然是正經八百地講道，但是語氣總讓人感覺吊兒郎當。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfTjmmqyLJ
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ420DDHeYB6
「我會盯緊哥哥的，不會讓他再搞出更嚴重的事情。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ixz74sPjp
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLAUgonWdU
在旁的莉莉清楚明白老師的擔憂，因此她這樣說來。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99AWQauRNi
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S7BszZCUi
漢斯微嘆口氣。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLjbwQaftx
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rZDxR0POx
「結界這事確實辦好就行了。我途中也會請赫麗娜教官多注意你們，尤其是艾爾文你。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HXpw2wqTq
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UAUwzFKMm
漢斯再次朝他瞪了一眼。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAPuuIIX1T
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ICU0LECL3
之後，漢斯對著前來的克里與安提娜鄭重說道：59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21W4cwyNeG
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8w6NKReRIb
「那這事就暫時這麼決定。稍晚我會讓莉莉與艾爾文前去協助，我則是會加緊分析來找出原因。」59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHKTpcyzQS
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bja1zApQ1
安提娜與克里斯聽完都開心地行禮致謝，隨即透過卷軸開啟的特殊魔法陣傳送回村。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjraEAJySUL
59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Qnvr6Ig3
不過，看似一切都已經有了著落，卻有更大的危機在等待他們。59Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVntom77M1
