垃圾場的結界邊緣,剛踏出去,便要立即開傘。天色一片昏暗,下著細雨。說是雨又不太對,雖然是從天上來,可降下的並不是天然的雨水。55Please respect copyright.PENANAdhRQlUW7bN
55Please respect copyright.PENANA0NPSCJiIMT
從瀑布傾瀉而下的河水,使整個下城北一年四季都是下雨天,每天天色都是陰陰沉沉。而艾力克的内心也是差不多和這副光景一樣。55Please respect copyright.PENANA47r0ZTp9PD
55Please respect copyright.PENANAgFiurRkJAU
瑪麗蘇以急事為由,腳底抹油溜走了,剩下二人在雨街獨處。艾力克頻密回頭,確定瑪麗蘇沒有偷偷跟來。55Please respect copyright.PENANAADSa9WoaHW
55Please respect copyright.PENANADk0IlrL7HC
他打算開口解釋,等等,還不能鬆懈,瑪麗——維多克持有『暗影傳送陣』,隨時能在陰影處現身。也許他在暗中監視,等一個最佳時機跳出來壞事。55Please respect copyright.PENANALUuk7ErhMo

「你欠我一句話。」克莉絲停步。55Please respect copyright.PENANA5lmFoCd93c
55Please respect copyright.PENANAMPAxINK50T
突如其來的質問,艾力反射性的,「對不起,我跟那傢伙不是那種關係,是她自己貼過來……」他立即住口。完蛋,根本是純度百分百的渣男發言。55Please respect copyright.PENANAbUTS1oaRZR
55Please respect copyright.PENANA2ztN48DerY
克莉絲沒有生氣,她收起雨傘,踏進艾力克的傘影裡。他感到意外,把傘子提高,好完全蓋住她。55Please respect copyright.PENANAf3Fz8Y7vfT
55Please respect copyright.PENANAnGt7CKNgYR
「我知道,你們沒有感情關係。被美少女投懷送抱,你的表現卻不見半點喜悅。反倒像被猛禽撲殺的獵物,我相信你是被調戲罷了。」55Please respect copyright.PENANArDDaYJ6OlV
55Please respect copyright.PENANAkFBMAjMPcH
艾力克頓時鬆了口氣,推了推眼鏡,「各種意義上的確是猛禽。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAijkZvCplfZ
55Please respect copyright.PENANAu3RLIBDbgL
「抱歉。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAJdnhfnuZxJ
55Please respect copyright.PENANAexLM2556b3
「為甚麼?」55Please respect copyright.PENANAxlkByibeTT
55Please respect copyright.PENANAqyvViMTUhf
「我不是故意對你兇巴巴,只是,」冷帽底下伸出焰髮,像一條小手臂輕托他的下巴,「我是女武神,受萬人簇擁的次世代英雄,同時我也是一個女孩,會因為一點小事吃醋的,請你原諒我。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAwV3ueg4Evv
55Please respect copyright.PENANAGYeH4BEntG
艾力克頓了一下,腦筋才轉過來,「猛禽不是指你啊,而是——」焰髮抵住嘴唇。55Please respect copyright.PENANAMpukApKvri
55Please respect copyright.PENANAbk4Wvhaf9I
「不管別人作何種批評,你始終是我生命中最重要的人。是你教曉我用焰髮來召喚魂白,這是歷代鳳凰誓約者都從未有過的想法。至今的人生、榮譽、所有的一切都是你賦與我。希望我也能成為你生命中最重要的人。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAerXpnsVzmX
55Please respect copyright.PENANADcD6vPNCzs
「一直都是。」艾力克說,「我始終在追逐你的背影,我一定會跟你站於同一高度的舞台上。」55Please respect copyright.PENANA5snQpcFXcp
55Please respect copyright.PENANA7d4SLKBH2L
「我等你。」克莉絲微笑,「真的不行的時候,我願意走下觀眾席來找你。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAQV6ON9rPAf
55Please respect copyright.PENANAJidPUtDADd
女孩轉身,撐著傘,消失於雨中。

另一邊廂,瑪赫剛好把碗碟和餐具舔得滴汁不沾。當她抹乾嘴巴準備離席時,阿爾法從廚房端來一個冒煙的盤子,瑪赫以為還有得吃,便乖乖坐好,舔著嘴唇等待。55Please respect copyright.PENANAp2Bw47pMpm
55Please respect copyright.PENANAXslFVXstsb
怎料阿爾法居然把盤子放在地上,她這才發現熱騰騰的盤裡只是熱水。阿爾法從口袋裡拿出三個玻璃小瓶,拔開塞子把紅、黃、藍三色彩沙倒進熱水中。55Please respect copyright.PENANAtEdVNgLTdx
55Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZCKiK4Tu0
阿爾法小聲吟誦,「史納莎,史納莎,史納莎。」55Please respect copyright.PENANARnB0vCLBSh
「總是要喊三次。」棉花龍的臉從窗外探進來。55Please respect copyright.PENANAK3nD5ulaSv
55Please respect copyright.PENANARz9kYz54WA
熱水激烈翻騰,盤中升起水柱,彩沙和沸水混和,漸漸顯現男人的身影。由沙粒組成的灰髮男輪廓模糊,轉頭環視房子四周,最後將視線落到瑪赫身上。55Please respect copyright.PENANA7j4aVX6kua
55Please respect copyright.PENANAPrfYuaw9Jh
「好年青啊。」他的聲音跟真人無異,「你果然有著其妙的女人緣。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAL8vsZEETcT
55Please respect copyright.PENANAtbpCMB739T
「不要多嘴。」阿爾法語氣斬釘截鐵,把安娜和棉花龍都逗笑了。55Please respect copyright.PENANAIpUxQM7diT
55Please respect copyright.PENANA7OdhhNnJ4o
史納莎向瑪赫招手,「可以麻煩你過來嗎?如你所見我不能離開水盤。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAio13xJihUr
55Please respect copyright.PENANAjiCUApm33I
阿爾法輕推瑪赫,她站起來離開座位,走到史納莎面前,抬頭仰望那張沙造的粗糙臉孔。55Please respect copyright.PENANAtqjnnW7h9U
55Please respect copyright.PENANA8xj6U8ltYp
史納莎俯身向前,細心觀察她,「果然,這雙紅瞳,並不是龍的眼睛。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAdTifBlbrQ8
55Please respect copyright.PENANAHJjl5j68UN
「你查到甚麼?」55Please respect copyright.PENANAcOzE0bqb9b
55Please respect copyright.PENANAfBQphtw8Tu
史納莎直起身,表情模糊但看得出是苦笑,「雖然我們想查出她的誓約對像是甚麼龍,結果卻先查出她是甚麼人。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAkIPA1kJRc8
55Please respect copyright.PENANAGXJjggsM3B
「你的說法很奇怪,難道小瑪赫不是人類嗎?」棉花龍說。55Please respect copyright.PENANAn8c9OKyl40
55Please respect copyright.PENANAT5RrE0swmI
「情況因此變得複雜,」史納莎兩手一攤,「棕膚、金髮、紅豎瞳,綜合以上特徵,瑪赫是皮爾當人。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAFY6T7woFRz
55Please respect copyright.PENANAuez8azYBko
「是亞人嗎?」阿爾法搖頭說,「只有人類能締結心臟誓約,獸人、哥布林和精靈等等的亞人無法成為心臟誓約者。」55Please respect copyright.PENANA615npXEzfi
55Please respect copyright.PENANAsSBjnhvwuz
「所以我才說情況複雜。皮爾當人是灰色橡木森林的原住民,因外表和人類不同而被當成亞人。其實身體構造和人類一樣,是基因突變導致外觀產生變化。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ3o826s0Q
55Please respect copyright.PENANAK7OgG7YuwH
「第一次聽說呢,明明是人類卻被當成亞人的種族。」阿爾法說,「現在皮爾當人去那兒了?我在森林找不到居住的行跡。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAhCCA6N0V39
55Please respect copyright.PENANAzs7AtxRcq9
「他們被分類成有害種族。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAXyiI7xGLni
55Please respect copyright.PENANA1YgJ97NLY2
空氣剎那間靜了下來,眾人都聽懂了此詞背後的重大意義。55Please respect copyright.PENANAyttfrQYu6M
55Please respect copyright.PENANA3UZqu8Z3PI
「嘎?」但是瑪赫不知道。55Please respect copyright.PENANAXLNs6bh9C9
55Please respect copyright.PENANA4keh9ee1in
「皮爾當人從未跟文明接觸,他們是茹毛飲血的野人,經常跟行經森林的商隊發生衝突。結果被千人議會滅——」55Please respect copyright.PENANAIhElRrdb0o
55Please respect copyright.PENANAhlUDU6XHkq
「到此為止,」棉花龍插話打斷,「我打後再跟小瑪赫補充解釋。阿爾法,我們下一步有甚麼計劃?」55Please respect copyright.PENANAFROhXLYWIr
55Please respect copyright.PENANAfrm2cGWWUs
瑪赫不解的望向窗外,她從未見過棉花龍表現得如此急進。另外三人亦面有難色,但很快便抹去陰霾。55Please respect copyright.PENANA6q85Ccg9er
55Please respect copyright.PENANArTek0xwUqV
「我決定行使奥德賽協定。」55Please respect copyright.PENANAR9oZP0rIT6
55Please respect copyright.PENANAnmtHjpirLs
阿爾法說罷取出一條鏈墜放於桌面,安娜拉開衣領亦拿出相似的鏈墜放在一起。兩條鏈墜形狀奇特,並排一起後,不難發現兩者能合併成一塊完整的形狀。55Please respect copyright.PENANAAfoAxYdFJ4
55Please respect copyright.PENANAADSRNEphPn
史納莎腦袋一晃,他認得這條鍊墜,承載了無數苦難和試煉的回憶,銘刻著血與汗的寶物。55Please respect copyright.PENANASqVyH1XyWK
