若真的需要幫助,她所提出的任何問題都不許隱瞞,必須完全照實回答。339Please respect copyright.PENANAhQPxooCBU3
339Please respect copyright.PENANAgzS1mrvpP6
她只負責把問題解決,如果族群之間有任何爭鬥,都不許牽涉到她身上。339Please respect copyright.PENANA35NVatXE9s
339Please respect copyright.PENANAbTTyhGZM1V
當她正在解決問題時,可能會帶來她手下的人進入,不論那些人是什麼人種,都不能禁止他們進入。339Please respect copyright.PENANA1aw2B0kr2y
339Please respect copyright.PENANABnxKMJox0R
如果不能夠同意這些條件,那麼就沒有幫助我們的必要。339Please respect copyright.PENANAARfGxHoj7M
339Please respect copyright.PENANAz6TMZLFBxo
艾利法,那個買下我的舊人類,把這些條件告訴我,讓我自己好好衡量。339Please respect copyright.PENANASeofY0puJD
339Please respect copyright.PENANAb5KMeaaIcX
她沒有要我立刻答應,而是送我回到故鄉,讓故鄉的族長們知道我請求她幫忙,好讓他們也可以評估條件。339Please respect copyright.PENANAEYgKO1UIEm
339Please respect copyright.PENANAb04rAtMTus
沒有讓我直接做主真的是幫了大忙,說真的,族裡有很多事情我也不知道,如果她問起,我也無法回答,如果出現那樣的窘境就糟糕了。339Please respect copyright.PENANAi7GCoG00FJ
339Please respect copyright.PENANAo00VujmEF1
我跪坐在審判大廳裡等待著長老的回覆。339Please respect copyright.PENANA20DlsE3MOC
339Please respect copyright.PENANAP3Z6lijElm
只要長老最後的判決是下達禁令審判,接下來等待我的,只剩下死刑。339Please respect copyright.PENANAZmpvJNqTub
339Please respect copyright.PENANAIwxXsdwgow
無所謂,就像艾利法所說的那樣,很多時候,維持不一定是能夠獲救的方法,若有必要,我們也許必須捨棄。339Please respect copyright.PENANAtIKAKIFLLF
339Please respect copyright.PENANAI3ghjB8JWq
我不害怕死亡,以我族現在的情況,只不過是死亡時間的早晚而已,能不能拯救族群,這才是我最在乎的事。339Please respect copyright.PENANA5yllOBuYeo
339Please respect copyright.PENANAyYjZwedhPB
「他被人類抓走將近五個月的時間,這種時候要求讓人類種進入這裡,無法判斷是否為人類的陷阱啊……」339Please respect copyright.PENANAKhMxSdG31h
339Please respect copyright.PENANA3RY3FLwWkE
「人類種放棄這個區域已經長達千年,不可能突然又對這裡產生興趣,他們根本沒解決白晶礦的寄生問題。」339Please respect copyright.PENANAYIBPVCaMFO
339Please respect copyright.PENANAvtEs2X8Tx1
「但是不能保證這一次他們沒有抱著侵略的意圖過來……」339Please respect copyright.PENANAKBGzccQynz
339Please respect copyright.PENANAxi51EpfhIn
靜靜聽著長老們的討論,我不能理解為什麼存亡問題近在眼前了,他們還要去擔心人類種會不會侵略的問題,如果我們全部都死了,不也沒有人可以繼續守護這裡了嗎?339Please respect copyright.PENANAInO2EssUaC
339Please respect copyright.PENANA0zQXSU5qTl
「夠了。」339Please respect copyright.PENANAX9sBerjVhF
339Please respect copyright.PENANAMGfGcMTFyz
眾長老的討論被打斷,坐在審判大廳的最高審判長不耐煩的看著他們。339Please respect copyright.PENANARXXhl1En0o
339Please respect copyright.PENANABOYbyd13FG
「這樣討論下去不會有任何結果,而我們已經沒有多餘的時間了。」339Please respect copyright.PENANAyElIKeKdkO
339Please respect copyright.PENANANMXkWXeWT5
就在一些長老想反駁時,審判長再次開口。339Please respect copyright.PENANAiIyLMUmIMG
339Please respect copyright.PENANAbAZe1aepec
「我們現在僅僅幾個月裡,就已經有數百名較虛弱的族人死去,而自從異狀開始後,就再也沒有任何新生兒出生,再這樣下去,不用幾年的時間,我們就會完全滅亡。」339Please respect copyright.PENANAGaeBlsW1Wr
339Please respect copyright.PENANAmVTjw0Hg4w
這不是恐嚇,這是我們全族人都已經猜到的事實,被審判長這麼說完後,長老們便也不再多說,看來是默認了我所提出的方法了。339Please respect copyright.PENANAYYivMLJaOU
339Please respect copyright.PENANAYg0bvaC9oM
「安德雷亞,你確定那個人是高等舊人類嗎?」339Please respect copyright.PENANAvq3iILRITz
339Please respect copyright.PENANAld98IGH1SN
我低下頭。
「再也沒見過比她更加符合高等舊人類形象的人,她的魔法技巧完全超越我所能夠想像的程度,正因為如此,我才會向她尋求援助。」339Please respect copyright.PENANA6sD2oUsvrs
339Please respect copyright.PENANAy2g0UVrr8x
當我再次抬頭時,發現審判長正直直的盯著我看,我還沒意會他那舉動是什麼意思時,他再度開口。339Please respect copyright.PENANAHxdsunI43T
339Please respect copyright.PENANA7NCzVhhZn4
「我們所剩的時間不多了,如果她能夠幫忙,請替我感謝她,但是,我們藍雪精靈也有屬於自己的規矩,請你告訴她,在調查原因後,不論想要做什麼,都務必先知會我們。」339Please respect copyright.PENANAPg77WlvWsQ
339Please respect copyright.PENANAufenB9lQ4D
儘管我認識艾利法這個人的時間不長,我也明白審判長的擔心,不過到目前為止,我並沒有感受到艾利法對我族的事情有任何嗤之以鼻的心態產生。339Please respect copyright.PENANAVmDkKfdIFl
339Please respect copyright.PENANAd4z8xPRQ5a
高等舊人類這個名字早就烙印這個世界上所有亞人種的靈魂裡,或者說,只要是擁有語言的族群,就不可能不知道,這個曾經稱霸全世界的龐大族群。339Please respect copyright.PENANAbqIX6H5ZEk
339Please respect copyright.PENANASfe4ztcmyY
高傲、強悍、聰明、目中無人,他們是一群無法無天的種族,甚至不把創世主神給放在眼裡,整天都在研究更高皆位的各種禁術與魔法,嘗試解析整個世界。339Please respect copyright.PENANA8b5Cb2qXkn
339Please respect copyright.PENANAckdOvr4pX0
直到最後,為什麼整個族群會迅速的滅亡,至今沒有人知曉原因。339Please respect copyright.PENANAEWFLbgHnqi
339Please respect copyright.PENANASo64X15AlP
但是拜此所賜,我們這些亞人種才能夠在大陸上繁衍下去。339Please respect copyright.PENANAUnnCsaX7js
339Please respect copyright.PENANA31GWmR4AWa
沒想到這時候面對種族的存亡時,我居然去拜託了最有可能直接霸佔整片土地的危險人物,也難怪長老們會那麼緊張了。339Please respect copyright.PENANAQk7RBSFPh0
339Please respect copyright.PENANAiqkkVsK6b3
「你們,去準備給高等舊人類使用的房間,安德雷亞,替我問問她,最快什麼時候會過來?」339Please respect copyright.PENANAXklsQ0knGZ
339Please respect copyright.PENANANMQrLs6kl2
既然長老們不再多言,審判長直接對我下達了指令,我立刻低頭遵從,而看見這一幕,長老們明白不用再做任何討論,於是紛紛起身離開審判大廳。339Please respect copyright.PENANATqUiP9ssZK
339Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0FsBVP8ol
雖然有幾位長老在離開時仍然若有所思的看了我幾眼,但最後還是什麼都沒有表示的離開。339Please respect copyright.PENANASNc5b2Cae8
339Please respect copyright.PENANAxT4sKCMCxF
我沒有空閒去猜測他們在想什麼,向審判長請示之後,帶著當地裡的一塊白晶礦,小心包裹起來,走回艾利法替我準備的傳送陣,傳送回到那個人類城鎮的屋子裡。339Please respect copyright.PENANAiMnPEZPgy1
339Please respect copyright.PENANAqODhd39HUk
「真意外,這麼快就回來了嗎?」339Please respect copyright.PENANAVDs1pG7KkL
339Please respect copyright.PENANA4Owtag7CbO
還沒來得及主動去找艾利法,視線才開始清晰之後,在我正前方的那個人就開口對我搭話。339Please respect copyright.PENANAgpFyruav52
339Please respect copyright.PENANAVEYGdUhneA
白雪,那個不願說出自己名字的獸人種。339Please respect copyright.PENANAAyIl8xl6xl
339Please respect copyright.PENANAY6O0q2jX8l
「因為是非常緊急的事情,能越快當然越好。」339Please respect copyright.PENANA6g84t7aV74
339Please respect copyright.PENANAfciDQcYHO0
儘管我確定跟這個人不會有更進一步的交集,也沒有打算跟她建立什麼交情,但基於禮貌我還是簡短的回應她。339Please respect copyright.PENANAKWxgZBH9cU
339Please respect copyright.PENANABy1nBeoBDG
「……你真的要信任她?」339Please respect copyright.PENANA1LMtQv2fTP
339Please respect copyright.PENANAbnpcfDl1q9
這問題讓我停下腳步,我看向她,而她只是淡淡的看著我,等待我的回答。339Please respect copyright.PENANAvEQPHZBV37
339Please respect copyright.PENANAW97TV0eBxe
「我已經沒有其他退路,除了信任她,還能做什麼?」339Please respect copyright.PENANAvxgzBLBD7i
339Please respect copyright.PENANAMut0lj3Hgo
獸人種原本好像抱著一點期待的眼神在聽到我的反問之後冷了下來,我克制住想要冷笑的衝動,現在可沒有增加敵人的餘力。339Please respect copyright.PENANA1R6bwaVVHa
339Please respect copyright.PENANAi8SpdsKRdh
「如果你有別的選擇可選,我會好好期待的。」339Please respect copyright.PENANAyM8xabyqOG
339Please respect copyright.PENANAP4HYqm9mEl
不再理會她,我離開這個作為傳送用的小房間,直接走進艾利法的辦公室。339Please respect copyright.PENANAy6VlL6MAED
339Please respect copyright.PENANAgDUFd0lKbE
她坐在她那張巨大的辦公桌前書寫著東西,感覺並不意外我這麼快就回答她面前。339Please respect copyright.PENANAqYTvRxcB1w
339Please respect copyright.PENANAaKm9NLIVdO
「結果如何?」339Please respect copyright.PENANAyxCaONeWkW
339Please respect copyright.PENANAhsS3bubGGS
沒有抬頭,她維持著書寫的動作,也沒有停下手,只是這麼淡淡地問了我一句,好像一點也不在意長老們怎麼決定一樣。339Please respect copyright.PENANA4ubWhxxHTD
339Please respect copyright.PENANAwFl9cUDjQb
「審判長決定同意你的條件,但是希望你可以在決定做任何事之前,都知會他們一聲。」339Please respect copyright.PENANAyITkKPnKyc
339Please respect copyright.PENANAa3nXAxA7LM
直到這個時候,艾利法終於停下自己的動作,放下筆,抬起頭看著我。339Please respect copyright.PENANAiFXAvn8hU5
339Please respect copyright.PENANAA5LYYS29UG
「是嗎……那麼,先跟我到煉製房吧!」339Please respect copyright.PENANAfOXxhdrhYX
339Please respect copyright.PENANAV12deg4KmV
說完後,她直接起身離開辦公室,我默默跟在她身後,走近那間被她整間改裝過後的房間。339Please respect copyright.PENANAgyhOBwqC7Y
339Please respect copyright.PENANAfr8rJI9nwP
我們藍雪精靈對於煉造的事情並不專精,但最少也知道基礎的鍛造需要什麼樣的工具和場地,我從來沒想過只是一間非常普通的客房,居然可以被改造成這個模樣。339Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZQeMGnFUI
339Please respect copyright.PENANAR6BWFbiPOW
整個木製牆面已經被打造成耐高溫的金屬牆面,而且似乎有使用魔法進行轉化,即使裡頭的鍛造爐正在熊熊燃燒的大火,站在這個房間內也不會感受到炙熱的焚燒感。339Please respect copyright.PENANAVONUMNoxDF
339Please respect copyright.PENANAhVJUzJMpmg
而那個放置在房間內的鍛造爐似乎也是艾利法自己設計製作的,只要不是打造過大的金屬製品,這口爐看來不管煉製什麼金屬都可以順暢使用。339Please respect copyright.PENANAeVvMpkZOZD
339Please respect copyright.PENANAk93bK7SizV
這是為了要研究我帶回來的礦石,才叫我要來這裡吧?339Please respect copyright.PENANA9qKMFH6yb1
339Please respect copyright.PENANAyftjD7YcBO
「礦石,能交給我嗎?」339Please respect copyright.PENANADyIxskG3Vd
339Please respect copyright.PENANAA8LN65HJ4y
果然是這樣。339Please respect copyright.PENANAo7eFLoGfJb
339Please respect copyright.PENANApT6dXXOQYm
我把口袋裡,用布料好好包裹起來的白晶礦取出來,直接遞到艾利法面前。339Please respect copyright.PENANAm2bcJKu1sh
339Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ck52kXf5k
她在接過礦石之前,率先使用了一個不知名的魔法在布料上,我根本沒能猜測那是什麼魔法,礦石便被她取走,放到鍛爐旁的工作桌上。339Please respect copyright.PENANA4BUb4hKRBi
339Please respect copyright.PENANA4QpM6kJztq
「你要這個礦石做什麼?」339Please respect copyright.PENANA9CQisZpL8i
339Please respect copyright.PENANAdIBf1eIZfC
不懂她事前要這個礦石做什麼事,就算想研究上面的能量,直接過去當地不是更快嗎?339Please respect copyright.PENANASTS9oxaYS8
339Please respect copyright.PENANA6Grrpn685Y
「確保你和我不會把白晶感染到這裡的人類種。」339Please respect copyright.PENANAdTn5Tk2fuI
339Please respect copyright.PENANApyaMaeRTC2
一邊跟我解釋,她一邊把布料打開,讓礦石落在桌上的金屬盤上頭。339Please respect copyright.PENANAhO4kYnaQrI
339Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8G5GCJ460
金屬盤上有施加附魔,它並沒有讓礦石落下,而是把礦石懸浮在盤子上,同時間,艾利法單手施放魔法,一股淡綠色的魔法將礦石包覆住,開始進行觀察。339Please respect copyright.PENANAYEQsk5nR90
339Please respect copyright.PENANAddEYXfKVBE
本來我以為這觀察會花費非常多時間,正想著是不是該先問她出發時間,艾利法便轉過頭看著我。339Please respect copyright.PENANAaHU6LZnQLj
339Please respect copyright.PENANAyvCjkDXbvc
「怎麼了?」339Please respect copyright.PENANA2SyG89QADe
339Please respect copyright.PENANAZK8di7mEbW
下意識的,我感覺她這樣看著我,絕對不會是什麼好消息,拜託不要是什麼無法挽回的事情,我們真的沒有能力再碰上任何壞事了。339Please respect copyright.PENANA6RNkMQES22
339Please respect copyright.PENANA1rn6lxMfVW
「這個礦石裡的能量讓我有些疑惑,我想問問,你們在礦石上汲取的力量,是以什麼形式存在、或是你們怎麼使用?」339Please respect copyright.PENANA8zdhtjqHeM
339Please respect copyright.PENANAyFx1ChLz6m
我疑惑的看著艾利法,這是什麼問題?339Please respect copyright.PENANA3waT402rh8
339Please respect copyright.PENANAFgNQM439W8
「抱歉……我想問的是,你說過你們會從白晶命脈上獲得力量,沒錯吧?」339Please respect copyright.PENANA72HZnwBU4U
339Please respect copyright.PENANA8wbNHB9UHG
「是的。」
這點在有一開始就說明過了,她沒道理忘記。339Please respect copyright.PENANA51SR7q8hQz
339Please respect copyright.PENANAkEKTMgJsSK
「那麼這個力量,白晶命脈上的力量,是怎麼在你們的身上運作?你們又是如何使用這個力量的?」339Please respect copyright.PENANAwDGPo00Ijk
339Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ5NwSTNze
完全不能理解她在說什麼,怎麼運作力量又是什麼意思?339Please respect copyright.PENANAT3lUKpfFFm
339Please respect copyright.PENANA4ALljKL3cZ
我的臉色看在她眼裡,應該也是知道我不懂她在問什麼,她沉默下來,可能在思考要怎麼說才能讓我聽懂,我也只能繼續等待。339Please respect copyright.PENANAcmDhDjADah
339Please respect copyright.PENANAnVJ7kI2TyA
「……你們,會使用魔法吧?」339Please respect copyright.PENANAiDURgiNJR9
339Please respect copyright.PENANAzRsTYI3mGb
總算是有個能聽懂的問題了,我靜靜地對她點頭。339Please respect copyright.PENANAmaWN7XqTwJ
339Please respect copyright.PENANAehHdBr5YOZ
「那麼在使用魔法時,消耗的是你們身上的魔力,還是白晶命脈給予你們的力量?」339Please respect copyright.PENANA8UGRQZkKzm
339Please respect copyright.PENANAoGykMe6rif
啊啊……終於聽懂她的想問的是什麼意思了,我鬆了一口氣。339Please respect copyright.PENANAzHfdw5LRib
339Please respect copyright.PENANAQuoh3zJseJ
「白晶命脈的力量,是與魔力融合的,它不只是一股外在能量,它同時也是我們的生命能量。」339Please respect copyright.PENANAhiVpzgPcgs
339Please respect copyright.PENANAoV6MQESOzp
我稍微停頓一下,想著這種事到底該不該說出來,但想到眼前的這個高等舊人類,就算不知道這種事情,只要她有那個意願,隨時都可以用各種方法支配我們,我便決定把所有事實說出來。339Please respect copyright.PENANAGCmB7Jx812
339Please respect copyright.PENANAy9QDKhcA7f
「我們藍雪精靈基本不會離開這一塊生長的環境,只要離的越遠,我們就越難從白晶命脈上獲取力量,而只要我們的力量充足,不論受到多麼嚴重的傷害,都能夠依靠力量的補充來恢復。」339Please respect copyright.PENANABFnK7cMcsi
339Please respect copyright.PENANAYD8u3jfEAt
我還在思考要怎麼繼續解釋,她在這時候抬手示意我停下來。339Please respect copyright.PENANATdEAKUIgWL
339Please respect copyright.PENANAdp48BI2Z8M
「我必須進行實驗,如果可以,我需要一個自願讓我測試的人,可能不只一個人,這些實驗攸關白晶命脈的能量,所以,我需要你們長老的同意。」339Please respect copyright.PENANAvAnKYD2pBV
