隨著夜幕的臨至,安提娜和戴蒙一同來到了埃德爾斯坦。這是在另一個大陸的工業大城。
好在楓之谷的交通非常便利,因此往來兩地只有花不到半天的時間。129Please respect copyright.PENANAT2YfwGfYaX
129Please respect copyright.PENANAUEW0naOR5h
而這短暫的路途中,安提娜也是大開眼界。有許多東西都是她不曾見過的,尤其是行駛於雲層上的天空之船,更衝破了安提娜對世界的固有認知。129Please respect copyright.PENANAXEwReU2Eqm
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQneSB9kl3g
「歡迎來到埃德爾斯坦,如果還有要到其它地方,可以隨時再來這裡搭乘飛船!」129Please respect copyright.PENANALWF1jzsLxZ
129Please respect copyright.PENANAMwQbFsmJjv
駕駛小型飛船的機長對兩人說道;而兩人也以沈默的點頭應答,隨後就往城裡走去。129Please respect copyright.PENANAs4aWYe6J1w
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5CZGyg4tho
有別於神木村,這座鋼鐵大城一直都是人類的重要港城,曾經被黑色翅膀所佔領的這個地方,在戰後躍升成楓之谷世界的一大都市。129Please respect copyright.PENANAXqIRfj4O20
129Please respect copyright.PENANASYj9HSZBpt
一踏入城內,隨處可見現代化的樓房,許多公會林立,八街九陌擠得水泄不通。這正是戴蒙最熟悉的地方之一,而對於第一次來到人類大城的安提娜也是格外新奇。129Please respect copyright.PENANAbZ5ndUFIe0
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOTQVXds0XL
「原來人類世界是這樣⋯⋯沒想到有實際踏上這種地方的機會。」安提娜的驚訝已然不是三言兩語能夠形容的,她內心的感慨也因此油然而生。129Please respect copyright.PENANAm3xvFJBmed
129Please respect copyright.PENANABZDdAEjuwh
「希望魔族有天也能像這樣,不過真的很困難吧。」戴蒙說到的同時也嘆息著。129Please respect copyright.PENANAm3xLJOqR0m
129Please respect copyright.PENANALFgAgQCwvG
「人類的城鎮都像這樣繁榮的嗎?」129Please respect copyright.PENANATabngErXtH
129Please respect copyright.PENANAdvC4bQS8jM
「當然不是。雖然也有同樣繁榮或者更甚的地方,但也不乏偏僻人少的小村落;相比起來,矮人的神木村已經算是很熱鬧的村莊了。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAodPTZavGDH
129Please respect copyright.PENANAGLAEVu38MT
安提娜點了點頭,然後戴蒙又接著說道:129Please respect copyright.PENANA5138PhDDBP
129Please respect copyright.PENANA999T5SPUVx
「這座城市叫作埃德爾斯坦,是連接天空之城、維多利亞島的重要港城,因此也促進了它的迅速發展。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAjbuVH8cEdd
129Please respect copyright.PENANADSCRmdt1lr
「剛剛聽戴蒙哥你說,以前這裡曾經被邪惡勢力佔領對吧?如果只看現在,真的完全想不到這裡曾發生過那種事。」129Please respect copyright.PENANANH7RDgmY0U
129Please respect copyright.PENANAxmHfbZrmoS
這是在船上時,戴蒙提到的事情。畢竟這裡將作為少女的中繼站,所以就順便跟她講了些故事。129Please respect copyright.PENANAe7ysfs0IlN
129Please respect copyright.PENANAYQSoLCWqmo
戴蒙會帶安提娜來這裡,是因為這裡有能夠幫助她的人;同時她也想把少女身上發生的事告知自己的戰友們——名為『末日反抗軍』的組織。129Please respect copyright.PENANAEbK4KTBeib
129Please respect copyright.PENANA7LVrXyQTEs
在兩人簡短的談話中,腳步也來到了此行的目的地。129Please respect copyright.PENANAa6hj3cTsFu
129Please respect copyright.PENANA8GfZM80u6J
「我們到了。通過這裡就是我同伴那了。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAojy5bCPnXh
129Please respect copyright.PENANARz9AtLVISJ
兩人走了數十分鐘,終於首度停了下來。戴蒙指著夾在路旁的兩棟樓房之間,類似水管外形的洞口。129Please respect copyright.PENANADAdNGtDLYl
129Please respect copyright.PENANAs7JNUuMFNZ
「咦!這不是下水道嗎?」129Please respect copyright.PENANABCNk57Bwrv
129Please respect copyright.PENANA8zIc4dpDWW
對於安提娜的提問,戴蒙不以為意,可能早就料想她會如此詢問了吧,因此他露出少見的微笑,對她解釋道:129Please respect copyright.PENANAPmdUNYGhKl
129Please respect copyright.PENANA1LJlLIKKdq
「因為當時城鎮還是被佔領狀態,為了隱匿行蹤,才會將總部設在這裡的地下室。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAkX6oj2MWwg
129Please respect copyright.PENANATgf2hLUsXC
「原來如此!設在這裡真的不會引入注目。」安提娜附上了幾下點頭表示十分同意。129Please respect copyright.PENANAyonnpyNXtz
129Please respect copyright.PENANAAZD8sgidIs
「嗯,那我們進去吧!」129Please respect copyright.PENANAE2hDAbLhVd
129Please respect copyright.PENANAaNaDFuG6rS
129Please respect copyright.PENANAFAokjoluTm
129Please respect copyright.PENANAZWhfhRpISZ
***129Please respect copyright.PENANA9uFqP6FXVH
129Please respect copyright.PENANAdn5Gku4k7P
129Please respect copyright.PENANAX7tU9D2vJy
129Please respect copyright.PENANAPYMhBm2kq7
在通過不大不小的下水道孔後,映入眼簾的是滿屋子機械,天花板上齒輪與管線交錯,彷彿就像是個小型工廠般;而視線正前方吊掛著兩台巨型電腦,螢幕中浮現的應該就是楓葉世界的各大城鎮之景。129Please respect copyright.PENANAxCwwNUN84t
129Please respect copyright.PENANAGP4lZ9Qn4G
雖然裡頭的光線稱不上明亮,但以這個不大的空間來說,也是足夠了。129Please respect copyright.PENANAMcGQNq9Qve
129Please respect copyright.PENANAerv6MM27ZV
兩人正下方的廣場上是一座小平台,周圍站著數名奇裝異服的人士。129Please respect copyright.PENANAsOIrKuhnwS
129Please respect copyright.PENANAlDLvkqIcFk
「你終於回來了。神木村的村長委託沒問題吧?」129Please respect copyright.PENANA8OrQG0qcAL
129Please respect copyright.PENANAyzkpafbkEj
開口向戴蒙詢問的女子有著略過肩膀的棕色頭髮,著裝特別,頭上一頂羽毛圓帽以外,臉上更戴著將五官遮住大半的眼罩,因此看不出年紀。然而這樣的一片漆黑色,卻也相對映襯出那雙炯炯有神的翡翠色的眼睛。
129Please respect copyright.PENANATEHH8sgpZU
「嗯,沒什麼事,已經順利解決了。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAddhnXNfrMG
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOrucU7vaHv
「那就好,我們正在烤棉花糖,一起來吃吧!咦⋯⋯旁邊這位是?」129Please respect copyright.PENANAP5J5q2Ausm
129Please respect copyright.PENANAE9cP40OIk5
眼下這名女子終於注意到一旁的安提娜,感到疑惑地問。129Please respect copyright.PENANAEFhOJY7ujh
129Please respect copyright.PENANAmtaoc5YCS2
「是這樣的,這件事情說來話長⋯⋯⋯⋯」129Please respect copyright.PENANAokOGWhBowh
129Please respect copyright.PENANAi9wSGICufl
戴蒙左手摟著身旁的安提娜從上方滑翔至平台,而那名女子身旁的幾人也靠了過來。129Please respect copyright.PENANAx03lFh7gN2
129Please respect copyright.PENANADGB83Gw0YZ
戴蒙接著向他們訴說少女經歷的事——之後再向少女介紹眼前這些奇裝異服的人士。129Please respect copyright.PENANAWEzwQjopxg
129Please respect copyright.PENANAG5Fu9fcRs8
「提娜,這幾位就是之前跟妳說過的我的同伴們。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAZKv8CfyzJ5
129Please respect copyright.PENANANRjnKbTuQn
戴蒙對一旁的安提娜說,並開始簡述他們的來歷。她首先指著最一開始對話的眼罩女。129Please respect copyright.PENANA2CSwP12Nc0
129Please respect copyright.PENANAPOv1YFyFhs
「這位是我們組織的指揮官,名叫吉可穆德。」
「從左至右的其他四人分別是赫力泰、阿勒斯、貝爾、傑奇,他們都是末日反抗軍的主要成員。」
聽完戴蒙的介紹後,雖然記不得名字,但還是對他們點了點頭。而安提娜也發現到了打扮特別的人不只吉可穆德一個。⋯⋯尤其是名為傑奇的人物?讓安提娜很困惑,他居然穿著一件把全身都包裹住的熊布偶套裝!然而,就在安提娜還止不住驚詫時,已經有人對她開口。
「辛苦妳了!這一路走來肯定吃了不少苦。」129Please respect copyright.PENANArDhnTi7KJb
這人的著裝打扮算是正常的。她是一名髮色鮮艷、表情開朗的女性,名叫貝爾。
之後其他的成員也開始議論紛紛,有些人則是向安提娜安慰了幾句。129Please respect copyright.PENANA43EgSGfmv2
129Please respect copyright.PENANAcy5p7yMqB7
「魔族自從那時起就沒消息的說,沒想到如今又發生這種事……」129Please respect copyright.PENANAF7aZB27Djm
129Please respect copyright.PENANA7d6ibAv04p
後來終於輪到那位讓安提娜最在意——穿著熊布偶套裝——的人物開口,雖然看不見長相,但從聲音來判斷應該是男性。安提娜依然有些傻眼,因此她趁著空檔小聲地向戴蒙詢問。
129Please respect copyright.PENANAYk2U9Dg2tz
「戴蒙哥,為什麼你的戰友們有些打扮得這麼奇怪?如果沒有看到外面的路人,我可能會以為這是人類的時尚。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAb2zgLClQbA
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwM0wFzlTD4
戴蒙聽到後差點忍俊不禁,瞬間覺得少女也挺有幽默感的。129Please respect copyright.PENANAarhKd9ix10
129Please respect copyright.PENANALELHGBv8OZ
「這個嗎⋯⋯只能說是個人喜好的問題。」129Please respect copyright.PENANA7cCeErMm0F
129Please respect copyright.PENANA1SVvJSWLgk
看著安提娜瞪大眼睛,戴蒙怕她真以為他們是怪人,於是認真說明:129Please respect copyright.PENANArvrnsMaan9
129Please respect copyright.PENANAtP0vUWg9oG
「事實上,這也是以前為了掩人耳目的一部分。但後來可能是大家也習慣這麼打扮了,即使奪回城市,大家仍是會在執行任務時穿上過往的戰服。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAC4ybtPNakf
129Please respect copyright.PENANAea8643Q4jT
戴蒙知道他們白天都有城鎮上的工作,會有截然不同的穿著便是為了執行夜晚的任務時掩人而目;雖說如此,戴蒙從以前就不免覺得太過浮誇。而少女雖然像是可以理解地點點頭,但想必也有相同感想吧。129Please respect copyright.PENANAAh0Iff1EQh
129Please respect copyright.PENANAUj0E8rc11J
嘈雜的機械運轉聲包裹在眾人聽聞後的交談聲之下,這個稱不上寬廣的平台此刻顯得鼎沸。129Please respect copyright.PENANABRzpL8ighM
129Please respect copyright.PENANATuK2TyYsSm
這時,突然有一道不像人類的聲音亂入其中。129Please respect copyright.PENANAPefJEpvu39
129Please respect copyright.PENANAN4BOBwtOap
「小惡魔你回來啦!喵~」129Please respect copyright.PENANAMy1tmHe8ht
129Please respect copyright.PENANAsQgYiLw3PB
安提娜轉眼一看,說話者是正向著戴蒙跑來的一隻紫色小貓,但明顯與一般的貓不同。129Please respect copyright.PENANASBgE7D6fnp
129Please respect copyright.PENANAkmRPDUiF3f
和一般貓種並無差別的身型,卻有著極為少見的紫色毛髮,而且最奇特的是牠竟然能夠說話。129Please respect copyright.PENANAoQsGs8hm5r
129Please respect copyright.PENANATTFIZ6z4IG
不過看大家都沒有特別的反應,安提娜輕易就推斷出這隻小貓也被戴蒙的戰友們熟識。129Please respect copyright.PENANAfwmNLOwndN
129Please respect copyright.PENANAbuOjGlNKSB
跑來的牠在注意到安提娜時,有些高昂的聲音轉變成了警戒,向戴蒙問道:129Please respect copyright.PENANAz7gpeI42si
129Please respect copyright.PENANAnl6lLFx9QW
「這位是?」129Please respect copyright.PENANAQkZCahiGkO
129Please respect copyright.PENANAdCmMf3YrRn
「這個跟我們正在討論的事情有關,妳也一起來聽吧。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAGDmLUUWqQ3
129Please respect copyright.PENANAW19VzK7akO
戴蒙回應了那隻奇怪小貓後,對安提娜說道:129Please respect copyright.PENANAs6SOPSEsGa
129Please respect copyright.PENANAnxDR3OKOQF
「提娜,跟妳介紹一下。她是喵怪仙人,是跟隨我許久的心腹。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAWfkmDq6vky
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXhMvholc5R
同時間,安提娜漸感一道銳利的眼神緊盯著自己。129Please respect copyright.PENANAnrIBWpiSuQ
129Please respect copyright.PENANAJUJtJOCu1t
「妳......妳好......?」129Please respect copyright.PENANA7L7ThdRNnr
129Please respect copyright.PENANAVzcNjzbfE6
安提娜低著頭向喵怪仙人問好。可是不知怎地,這股壓迫感使得她說話的同時語氣不禁略微顫抖。129Please respect copyright.PENANA2tijN2DqCJ
129Please respect copyright.PENANApdWmsxOToY
眼前的喵怪仙人對於她的招呼則沒有多做回應,而是繼續向戴蒙詢問:129Please respect copyright.PENANAcM0ksRCZj0
129Please respect copyright.PENANAF4Fn9XL1Hz
「她是魔族嗎?為何會來這裡?」129Please respect copyright.PENANAl3cL7zivz6
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgg35CTxlx6
「提娜確實是魔族,但跟我一樣都是人類與魔族的混血。至於她為何會在這裡,等會聽完我們說的妳就知道了。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAiAdfDf160I
129Please respect copyright.PENANASdXzKmrQha
那道眼神似乎變得更加兇悍了,彷彿要將人生吞活剝一般。129Please respect copyright.PENANA3U4sVL9qEl
129Please respect copyright.PENANAnkzbPNb3Yc
「她跟小惡魔是什麼關係啊?」129Please respect copyright.PENANAag3ayi5GLf
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0pT23OubA2
「這個⋯⋯怎麼感覺妳特別在意這件事。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAdrUKvVo94Q
129Please respect copyright.PENANAIRWyirWB6o
「才、才沒有呢!我只不過是隨口問問。」喵怪仙人微微撇過了頭。129Please respect copyright.PENANAs9iluagTqj
129Please respect copyright.PENANAM4UxyyR9P6
周圍看到這一幕的反抗軍成員,則是微微笑了起來。129Please respect copyright.PENANAFdM3Pdj4OT
129Please respect copyright.PENANAAUel1k7Umi
不過深陷其中的戴蒙卻無法理解喵怪仙人似乎有些生氣的原因。他只好搔了搔頭。129Please respect copyright.PENANAxKsOE5Wz61
129Please respect copyright.PENANA3AnHYVLAqG
「提娜,妳要不要先去進行修煉?」129Please respect copyright.PENANAPhfLm6vJGt
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwYUebXHpWT
這是他帶少女來這裡的重點之一。129Please respect copyright.PENANAfiqFDV2zz5
129Please respect copyright.PENANA1GGgESjQRl
安提娜對此點了點頭,泛紅的眼眸裡彷彿燃起了火焰。129Please respect copyright.PENANAo1VzF5TCvH
129Please respect copyright.PENANAucrr3iy0oi
「看來是沒問題了,但記得別太勉強......這裡的魔劍和力量之盾是我曾經用過的,雖然算不上神兵利器,但應該夠妳用上一陣子。」129Please respect copyright.PENANAjSG6wmgOSH
129Please respect copyright.PENANAkEVZoH8Fk6
安提娜接過了戴蒙遞過來的——名為「魔劍」的武器,以及被稱作「力量之盾」的特殊盾牌。129Please respect copyright.PENANAOMyxEFCgnb
129Please respect copyright.PENANA04X6euv3lV
有別於楓葉世界劍士常使用的武器,這是為了承受「復仇者」的力量所特別打造,吻合魔族力量特性的一副劍盾。129Please respect copyright.PENANANsuX9eEj62
129Please respect copyright.PENANAThCdFb5L9o
雖然在神木村時已經有聽戴蒙提到過,但實際看到時仍是覺得新奇。畢竟外型就跟一般的武器迥異。129Please respect copyright.PENANAocOAGwpDDs
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5LhDHc3PVW
不過這不是重點,對於安提娜來說,接下來將面臨的戰鬥才是。129Please respect copyright.PENANA8RkqTt0MYD
129Please respect copyright.PENANAUyLNZzXXjw
安提娜稍微熟悉了它們,便與其中一位名叫阿勒斯的微胖男子動身往廣場的深處移動。129Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ2tyL5jyi
129Please respect copyright.PENANAbgajLuMStz
那是為了像安提娜這種新手,所打造的特殊訓練房。129Please respect copyright.PENANAQvT1mTSQAY
129Please respect copyright.PENANAvXzg2IQamq
安提娜在前行的短暫途中也照著戴蒙先前的指示裝戴上力量之盾,瞬間,她能感到體內的力量輸入到了盾牌上面。129Please respect copyright.PENANAdrUvjEuauE
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEgCQIMdR6U
紅色、黑色、紫色的神秘氣體開始從盾牌表面擴散開來。129Please respect copyright.PENANAz8j11DeqbX
129Please respect copyright.PENANAtF2ERWEzrd
力量之盾並不是一般的盾牌,而是能夠承載體內憤怒之力,並讓力量因子最大化的特殊道具——從中散發出來的氣息便是安提娜體內力量的一部分。129Please respect copyright.PENANALw3BKtVDGD
129Please respect copyright.PENANAh0blq5kY5Y
之後是纖細的手指緊握了有些冰冷的魔劍⋯⋯129Please respect copyright.PENANAcvjSZjhegf
129Please respect copyright.PENANAP48pJxCTif
從此刻起,129Please respect copyright.PENANAABMT6vQ053
129Please respect copyright.PENANAYPNaZvGfE7
她將送別過往純真的自己。129Please respect copyright.PENANAb9BZ6epOp5
129Please respect copyright.PENANAlSGHKU2KGf
葬送因為懦弱而失去一切的自己。129Please respect copyright.PENANAsDUyArECHC
129Please respect copyright.PENANAb6VgkkgKFC
安提娜邁步的同時,也在內心呢喃低語著。129Please respect copyright.PENANAKEzLgAz6HO
