下山的途中,莊元宇一直問東問西,看到所有東西都很好奇,眼神閃閃發亮。57Please respect copyright.PENANAlkD3wDLjHV
57Please respect copyright.PENANApHd3NkshKk
57Please respect copyright.PENANAnGP613hFmJ
艾拉不想回答他問題,逕自牽著馬走,因為才剛離開廢棄的山城,莊元宇就踩空滾到大樹下的坑洞裡,讓他費了一番功夫才拉起來,為了避免麻煩事,只好下馬走在他身旁。57Please respect copyright.PENANAlDfnA66oaz
57Please respect copyright.PENANAL7o7Nr9gHc
57Please respect copyright.PENANA1WHny4lvz3
可是也因此被莊元宇逮到機會,問個不停,讓艾拉愈來愈煩躁,眉頭皺到快擰出水。57Please respect copyright.PENANAUG9S3s4Icc

57Please respect copyright.PENANAuPzz1rHSix
太陽漸漸西下,紅霞把天空染成暖色系,莊元宇從半山腰向下眺望,發出驚呼:「哇~這也太漂亮了吧!我從來沒看過這麼酷的景色!」57Please respect copyright.PENANAoFoFGoPrSf
57Please respect copyright.PENANAvb2NLGtiBW
57Please respect copyright.PENANAeAPxrF0nWE
層層疊疊的山巒綿延不絕,山頭變成了黃澄色,山坳裡有一座莫蘭迪藍的湖泊,隨著氣溫下降、雲霧漸漸聚攏,湖水的波光粼粼,將光照折射出七彩炫光,不斷變化。57Please respect copyright.PENANAmIzWcH44K3
57Please respect copyright.PENANA1idNjDLl2u
57Please respect copyright.PENANAIG8RKNWcrg
遠方的鳥兒歸巢,飛入樹林裡,漸漸看不到動物的蹤影,連樹葉搖曳的窸窣聲也消失,好似一切慢慢地沉澱,萬籟俱寂。57Please respect copyright.PENANA6yiXki99Ec
57Please respect copyright.PENANA0W6F0IaD4k
57Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ13ZfXLve
"這裡的一切太真實了,該不會真的不是遊戲,而是所謂的異世界了吧?怎麼會發生這種事?"莊元宇就這樣站在山腰上靜靜地看著,若有所思。57Please respect copyright.PENANAtLlRTxw4hK
57Please respect copyright.PENANA0CB5JbjWPN
57Please respect copyright.PENANAZQD91IAnWY
"難道我就這樣困在這了?怎麼辦?"他愈想愈慌,必須找到能讓自己回去的人,他暗下決定要跟著艾拉去尋找。57Please respect copyright.PENANALgh1oTKyda
57Please respect copyright.PENANAe83X6NnKTK
57Please respect copyright.PENANAV009TgAH3p
難得他安靜下來,艾拉在後方默默觀察他,馬靠過來緊挨著艾拉,他輕拍著牠的鼻頭。57Please respect copyright.PENANAjTGorrTa8P

「唔!好冷!」莊元宇看著太陽沒入地平線,忽然感到一陣寒意,直打哆嗦。57Please respect copyright.PENANAbr1hDnnCIZ
57Please respect copyright.PENANAM6nwvfZnL3
57Please respect copyright.PENANApKI9THZ8yh
「快到山腰的村落了,今晚就在那附近紮營吧。」難得艾拉開口說話。57Please respect copyright.PENANA3RrMTHfU0u
57Please respect copyright.PENANABArTTfaerq
57Please respect copyright.PENANA7tRt9rWrk8
他們走到村落旁一處較為茂密的樹林裡,挑選平坦處,開始準備紮營。57Please respect copyright.PENANA4PYJeW6tBZ
57Please respect copyright.PENANAxX69WbhWJU
57Please respect copyright.PENANAcM9vLvQ68K
艾拉將馬匹上的馬鞍卸下,從皮革袋裡取出厚實、防水的布,搭在兩棵樹中間,作為遮蓋用的頂棚,再拿出獸毛製成的毯子鋪在草地上,脫下斗篷疊在毯子上,馬則走到附近吃草、喝水。57Please respect copyright.PENANAzgOyMF4RjH
57Please respect copyright.PENANABOQquEfxyu
57Please respect copyright.PENANAHk1caqMW9O
莊元宇自動自發地跑去樹林裡撿拾枯枝、落葉,並在營地中央堆成微微隆起的小堆,準備生火,卻突然想到自己沒有生火工具,手比成七狀靠在下巴,苦惱著。57Please respect copyright.PENANAujmOX5Xu4U
57Please respect copyright.PENANAQjAi9x1DlB
57Please respect copyright.PENANAC6Sl6wf34t
艾拉走到枯枝堆旁蹲下,握拳的手用力向外一張,掌中就出現一簇小火球,順利讓樹堆著火。57Please respect copyright.PENANANguUmiZ1AN

57Please respect copyright.PENANAyH7W2ZSapc
「哇喔!這怎麼做到的!是魔法嗎!?」莊元宇驚呼,從沒想過自己能夠親眼看到魔法,語氣中透露著無比興奮的情緒。57Please respect copyright.PENANAIguyUkUCls
57Please respect copyright.PENANAuStAyWUcrq
57Please respect copyright.PENANAP1B70OajkF
「嗯。」艾拉回應他的同時,把莊元宇的反應收進眼裡。57Please respect copyright.PENANAFd7P6Zz6db
57Please respect copyright.PENANAMMFo9nX7iF
57Please respect copyright.PENANAaCvOAyadO1
聽見馬蹄聲漸近,艾拉起身將牠叼回來一串很像蘋果的水果接下,並自身上取出小刀,俐落地切起水果。57Please respect copyright.PENANANSihgmexyP
57Please respect copyright.PENANAZJFcMADIpj
57Please respect copyright.PENANA9DRrYddhhm
「謝謝你,克林奇爾,你也吃吧。」艾拉一手將水果片放在掌心餵食,一手輕輕撫著馬兒的頭。57Please respect copyright.PENANAkg6jmT15zc
57Please respect copyright.PENANA5ftVrQ2mf1
57Please respect copyright.PENANAV5DXZ5KSns
「原來你叫克林奇爾,你好。」莊元宇來到艾拉身邊,向克林奇爾微微鞠躬問好,笑臉盈盈。57Please respect copyright.PENANAK9xZr01cyb

57Please respect copyright.PENANAUomq6VulpX
「欸欸欸欸欸~~!你會講話!你就是叫艾拉名字的那個聲音!」莊元宇不可思議地驚呼,指著克林奇爾大聲道。57Please respect copyright.PENANAL8rJ4bJO5X
57Please respect copyright.PENANA4JViL8Lx09
57Please respect copyright.PENANAjpuncf6QIt
「你能聽到克林奇爾的聲音?」艾拉試探性地詢問,心中充滿疑惑,盡可能不要展現情緒。57Please respect copyright.PENANA3qzLREWHPH
57Please respect copyright.PENANAn4UbBGhELA
57Please respect copyright.PENANAGvUAZndh96
「從在廢墟的時候就聽到了,因為聲音聽起來跟你不一樣,我還以為是幻聽了!太酷了吧!來到這裡居然有這麼多好玩的事!」莊元宇的眼神放光,馬可以講話真是太有趣了。57Please respect copyright.PENANAlhwda9JhCo
57Please respect copyright.PENANAhpEnOuEOtq
57Please respect copyright.PENANAF6ZFZZlJek
「克林奇爾,我可以摸摸你嗎?每次打電動都覺得馬好帥,但生活中根本不可能碰得到啊!」莊元宇徵求克林奇爾的同意,把一直很想做的事情說出來,手掌心朝上、伸到克林奇爾的前方,友善地等待。57Please respect copyright.PENANAgYQPi292mg
57Please respect copyright.PENANA70pYEFiRu7
57Please respect copyright.PENANAd1gzCPO35m
『嗯,可以。』克林奇爾同意,把鼻頭輕輕靠在莊元宇的掌心。57Please respect copyright.PENANAXZLJQaoiRt
57Please respect copyright.PENANAj2MVxJvfpP
57Please respect copyright.PENANAJKydun9IjO
濕濕的鼻頭、熱呼呼的氣息、巨大的馬頭漸漸靠近,磨蹭莊元宇,讓他緩緩向上撫摸,最後甚至可以抱著整顆馬頭。57Please respect copyright.PENANAAvrXFso7mg
57Please respect copyright.PENANA1WrUw9qJ81
57Please respect copyright.PENANAIfSb70rvIr
開心極了的莊元宇像個孩子般,手舞足蹈,兩手一直來回搓著克林奇爾的側臉,輕拍著脖子。57Please respect copyright.PENANA1Sle9xGfIl
57Please respect copyright.PENANA3qoTgnWcHH
57Please respect copyright.PENANAjhjXGvFZK7
艾拉把一切看在眼裡,露出無法置信的神情。57Please respect copyright.PENANAI58ZBekK9P
57Please respect copyright.PENANAoORyTadTQ1
57Please respect copyright.PENANAC1mWqqtwE8
因為克林奇爾是從小跟自己一起長大的馬,只有自己可以靠近,脾氣非常硬、不給任何人觸摸,甚至不高興就會踹人,居然才一天時間就允許莊元宇摸!57Please respect copyright.PENANAhhTqQo8bOo
57Please respect copyright.PENANAciRwh0jiCT
57Please respect copyright.PENANAELDnjzMTVp
『艾拉其實很寂寞,你多陪他說話吧。』克林奇爾的聲音又傳入莊元宇的腦中,讓他轉頭看艾拉。57Please respect copyright.PENANACP1DcC4sDE
57Please respect copyright.PENANAfNBIOA6PJ4
57Please respect copyright.PENANAI6F4UpfksT
"?" 艾拉不解地看向莊元宇,眼神又恢復成冷漠、散發出拒人於千里之外的氣息。57Please respect copyright.PENANAesvvh54LXo
57Please respect copyright.PENANAJMOCZQ82pa
57Please respect copyright.PENANA4Phq27onF1
「好,我知道了,謝謝你告訴我。」莊元宇用極小的音量在克林奇爾的耳邊說,答應牠。57Please respect copyright.PENANAcriVAI0k5b
57Please respect copyright.PENANAfHNCTGxhct
57Please respect copyright.PENANALpOcBZedh2
面對可能已經倒戈的克林奇爾,艾拉無奈地躺進毯子裡,不想搭理這一人一馬。57Please respect copyright.PENANAVscOFLebF0
57Please respect copyright.PENANAjRGM02QvQP
57Please respect copyright.PENANAQucvNLduCG
天色已全黑,四周靜謐,只剩下柴火的劈哩劈哩聲,兩人吃著簡單的五穀乾糧,沒有再交談。57Please respect copyright.PENANAmR2jlCw6gw
57Please respect copyright.PENANA0BrwJVcEiq
57Please respect copyright.PENANAEhEzv1KzeU
隔天,莊元宇發現自己從艾拉的毯子中醒來,睡眼惺忪地坐起身、撓撓頭、四周張望,而艾拉跟克林奇爾已不見蹤影。57Please respect copyright.PENANARxwkEZqMqz
57Please respect copyright.PENANAEmFzJTYnAP
57Please respect copyright.PENANA0CijZHnWbw
他記得昨晚原本挨著火堆、大喇喇躺在地上睡覺,但因為山林裡的氣溫降得飛快,讓他冷得只能縮成一團,可是一整天發生太多事情,實在累到完全無法動彈,究竟怎麼來到艾拉的毯子裡,毫無印象。57Please respect copyright.PENANAL3XehbM0oc
57Please respect copyright.PENANA7C5kIfkyd4
57Please respect copyright.PENANA2eyHtVuvnu
他帶著疑惑站起,在營地周圍尋找艾拉,正好看到已經熄滅的火堆旁,有一個應該是給自己的早餐。57Please respect copyright.PENANAW3FrkCE9k0
57Please respect copyright.PENANAWLr7A9kksq
57Please respect copyright.PENANABeLdSIIE3y

57Please respect copyright.PENANAWcRT1XNKyX
不同於前一天夜晚的寂寥景象,陽光變成一道道光束自葉間灑落,鳥兒在林間玩耍、啾啾聲不絕於耳、松鼠在樹枝間跳躍、玩得不亦樂乎、發出吱吱叫的吵鬧聲。57Please respect copyright.PENANAPdSlPqIehW
57Please respect copyright.PENANAAmZniKZzfK
57Please respect copyright.PENANAyFr5I5Zkvc
林下的樹叢開滿了像是牽牛花的紫色花朵,花瓣上凝結著鑽石般閃耀的夜露,蝴蝶圍繞著花朵翩翩起舞、蜜蜂在花叢間辛勤採蜜,整座山林欣欣向榮。57Please respect copyright.PENANAWtYgD4ZwTC
57Please respect copyright.PENANAk3lHszNmLi
57Please respect copyright.PENANAEJPTua9XBA
莊元宇心情很放鬆、欣賞著美景、享用美味早餐,沒多久就看到艾拉帶著克林奇爾回來了。57Please respect copyright.PENANANAhLbPUWrs
57Please respect copyright.PENANAsdKMzIexvu
57Please respect copyright.PENANAut7fvcebgh
「醒了就出發。」艾拉冷冷地下指令,迅速收拾好營地的所有東西,放進皮革袋中,牽著克林奇爾朝下個地點前進。57Please respect copyright.PENANAtTA5xVvF1L
57Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6XV4xtc2B
57Please respect copyright.PENANAfBsHlYUlqw
進入村落,莊元宇才得知艾拉是寶石商人,在世界各地遊走、尋找與販售特殊能力的寶石,人們向他購買之後,將寶石鑲嵌在各式魔導具裡,並運用魔法做事,搬運木頭、耕作、建造房屋等。57Please respect copyright.PENANAWxGfqQIosa
57Please respect copyright.PENANAUm1qPlG31f

莊元宇注意到部分居民長得不太一樣,尤其是穿梭其中的孩子們,竟然有各種動物的耳朵或尾巴,有人頭上長著兔耳或狗耳,有的是臀部出現鳥類的尾羽或馬匹鬃毛的長尾巴。57Please respect copyright.PENANARySFf661D7
57Please respect copyright.PENANA1THvTTeclZ
57Please respect copyright.PENANA9W9jWydRis
「OH MY!居然有獸人!」莊元宇再次驚呼,二次元世界的種族設定竟然真實呈現!好奇心旺盛的他像玩VR遊戲般,已經摩拳擦掌,準備好好探索這個地方!57Please respect copyright.PENANAHnG74U8Ase
57Please respect copyright.PENANAz3ytLCVlfD
57Please respect copyright.PENANA783IRqCY7d
莊元宇主動去搭訕村民,起初看到這個怪人時略有警戒,但發現他沒有危險後,便放開心與他聊天,孩子們更是好奇他的穿著,纏著不放,他也帶著孩子玩現實世界的遊戲,儼然變成孩子王,玩開了的孩子們還會獸化變成動物,讓莊元宇嘖嘖稱奇。57Please respect copyright.PENANAN0Y9wQ87J3
57Please respect copyright.PENANA2RZ7c2Atyl
57Please respect copyright.PENANAq4hoT8lm83
艾拉完成寶石交易後,就跟克林奇爾靜靜坐在一旁的樹蔭下,望著莊元宇,心中躊躇著些許想法。57Please respect copyright.PENANAym9qxN2Rrp
57Please respect copyright.PENANAawllhbpMQe
57Please respect copyright.PENANAjIcGNtKOti
「該走了,要去下個地方了。」見莊元宇玩瘋,艾拉出聲制止,以免耽誤下個交易行程。57Please respect copyright.PENANAnF2JzRZI9r
57Please respect copyright.PENANAKShDT7lzoH
57Please respect copyright.PENANAgbMz8L2gX0
莊元宇不捨地與村民及孩子們告別,約定之後還會再來玩,便蹬蹬快步跑到已走遠的艾拉身邊,前往下個地點。
