在中央市集沒有逛太久的時間,我就已經買了一堆大包小包的東西,要不是雙手已經不能再抱著其他東西了,又不能隨便在別人面前展現次元空間,我只能選擇先回到旅店去。836Please respect copyright.PENANAnUhyyud5ly
836Please respect copyright.PENANA5Wp7ObKnPB
金色麥子的店員好像已經聽到風聲,知道我是高等舊人類,和我對話時語氣明顯變得不一樣,我也不想惹到太多麻煩,只好什麼都不管的回到自己房間。836Please respect copyright.PENANA3dckpAT2XJ
836Please respect copyright.PENANAhQGqJxu99C
先把所有買來的東西都收進次元空間之後,我先在房間裡設下一層結界,以必免有任何人會想來偷窺還是攻擊什麼的,然後再召出一個魔像,把它偽裝成我的模樣好假裝我完全沒有離開過房間之後,就使用轉移回到森林裡的家去。836Please respect copyright.PENANA77ckugX26N
836Please respect copyright.PENANA0QE1I7Bp0j
啊啊——!還是回到家裡的感覺好,什麼都不用小心也不用在意,不用害怕任何人看我的眼神。836Please respect copyright.PENANAWfjyknl66i
836Please respect copyright.PENANAwsRO8Shvfx
我把面具拿下,從庭院的地方往莊園走去。836Please respect copyright.PENANAPe5AIFUS4f
836Please respect copyright.PENANAUQGGRX8yfS
不過,還沒走到建築物裡,我就聽到不遠出有小跑步的腳步聲。836Please respect copyright.PENANA0PQubiOck6
836Please respect copyright.PENANATjCWOs4UV9
轉過頭,我看見朵菈從田的另一端往我跑過來。836Please respect copyright.PENANAzcdLUACOcS
836Please respect copyright.PENANAwu5BzXAb3E
「艾利法!」836Please respect copyright.PENANA89SWK4ewN0
836Please respect copyright.PENANAO3AucHgIkq
小孩的速度也是挺快的,沒一會她就跑到我面前,直接飛撲過來,我趕緊伸手接住她。836Please respect copyright.PENANAeJLM0D3eaf
836Please respect copyright.PENANAOjh7BJxlUl
「你回來了!」836Please respect copyright.PENANAFU7HB6ybSO
836Please respect copyright.PENANAC4AehlPJnb
「嗯,我回來了,你們在外面散步嗎?」836Please respect copyright.PENANABjlxYcmHD6
836Please respect copyright.PENANAYgDZXysTTS
順手就把她抱起來,我站在原地問她。836Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ga1ODW92c
836Please respect copyright.PENANAUWFnM7h9Oy
「卡姆說一直在家裡沒事做很無聊,所以出來外面練習。」836Please respect copyright.PENANA9FHN7tUJFn
836Please respect copyright.PENANADaqEGJXM8E
朵菈一邊回答,我一邊抱著她往田的另一端前進,走向卡姆和魔像所在的地方。836Please respect copyright.PENANAIeXFsYmcAx
836Please respect copyright.PENANAHx175xBJNw
「練習?」836Please respect copyright.PENANAbQK6HeTmw9
836Please respect copyright.PENANA14FcOEc9W0
「嗯,我們很久沒有練習了,只要是獸人種,從五歲開始都要練習的。」836Please respect copyright.PENANA3wJyQmPjUR
836Please respect copyright.PENANATTF0L7em5e
雖然我想問的是練習什麼,不過好像也沒法要求朵菈來解釋,反正看到卡姆之後應該就能了解了,不急著問這麼多。836Please respect copyright.PENANA2DfdzpbaeP
836Please respect copyright.PENANAVnlHiJ4joC
當我走到小農田之後,我已經能夠看到卡姆和魔像站在原地等我,卡姆的身旁立著一個木樁,看起來有些殘破,嗯……練習指的是練武嗎?836Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8Q6kqJNl0
836Please respect copyright.PENANAj8yTppnqwb
「艾利法、歡迎回來。」836Please respect copyright.PENANANHeo4UEYrH
836Please respect copyright.PENANAJN9bv8XMBz
你剛才想叫我大人對不對?836Please respect copyright.PENANABYIGlJvK3g
836Please respect copyright.PENANAMqF18CvIvN
看在你即時忍住,我就不跟你計較了。836Please respect copyright.PENANAsK74mUVofs
836Please respect copyright.PENANAGeX26mLxOA
「我回來了。」
這樣說著,我看向立在地上的木樁,殘破的木樁上有著許多爪痕,又看向卡姆的手,拳頭上沒有毆打硬物的紅腫,這樣來看他是只用爪子來攻擊木樁啊。836Please respect copyright.PENANAhGXKbKm3cz
836Please respect copyright.PENANAoGWvXZSeIC
「這樣練習下來,身體有哪裡覺得不舒服嗎?」836Please respect copyright.PENANAmUf2e9QT1i
836Please respect copyright.PENANATDET7bCapo
理論上我想卡姆應該是完全恢復了,不過我沒有想到他會跑出來練武,安全起見還是問一下比較好,如果有需要,調製一點藥物來幫助他成長應該也不錯。836Please respect copyright.PENANALFO3Fwkqws
836Please respect copyright.PENANAAbFxM5Crzy
聽到我的問題之後,卡姆搖搖頭。
「沒有,只是最近休息的太久了,覺得身體很沉重。」836Please respect copyright.PENANAMJQ1Fes0tg
836Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ1dQyaAWa
「嗯……那應該沒什麼影響,再練習一會試試好了,我能看著你練習嗎?」836Please respect copyright.PENANAKDG4giVCZr
836Please respect copyright.PENANA6mq5xxJti0
本來以為這孩子可能會想一下才答應,但是他這次居然沒有任何猶豫,二話不說就點頭了,害我有點嚇到。836Please respect copyright.PENANAoGZ4KWatRf
836Please respect copyright.PENANADYbkoKUu12
「艾利法,你要站到那裡比較安全。」836Please respect copyright.PENANAk2UyAGtKuk
836Please respect copyright.PENANAkELeVFU5cr
卡姆指著他身後的位置,我依言抱著朵菈走過去。836Please respect copyright.PENANAPNBZm0Ouq1
836Please respect copyright.PENANAawKKYVg0mo
確定我站好後,卡姆身子微蹲,雙手在身子兩旁張開,我看見那雙手的肌肉撐了起來,連骨骼都有些清晰可見,感覺就像變形了一樣。836Please respect copyright.PENANA0efTQ4CBFk
836Please respect copyright.PENANAtA60SwNWRM
彷彿是讓我知道我的猜測沒有錯誤般,男孩的那雙手開始長出了灰色、應該說是灰、白、黑參雜的獸毛,他的手掌在這變化的過程中長大了一倍,指骨粗壯、尖爪銳利,我目測這雙爪子的破壞力,最少都可以把人類的大腿給拆了,面對普通的人類,卡姆已經是威脅性十足。836Please respect copyright.PENANATSQo6AEKGF
836Please respect copyright.PENANAFanzN1nhlT
男孩發出了吼聲,那是人聲夾雜了野獸的吼聲,就算聽起來只是個孩子的聲音,也夠讓人膽怯。836Please respect copyright.PENANAwej6wYk3TS
836Please respect copyright.PENANASeEwQ37RgJ
然後,小獸人飛撲出去,開始瘋狂地攻擊那個木樁。836Please respect copyright.PENANAPySvU8WMiy
836Please respect copyright.PENANA6KjrYLob9T
能夠看出來卡姆已經用上最大的力氣去破壞木樁,但是那個木樁可是使用內含金屬成分的樹木製成,絕對不是用那種小爪子可以拆掉的樹幹,小獸人不停嘶吼、持續揮舞他的爪子,也只不過是一直拆掉木樁的外皮罷了。836Please respect copyright.PENANA4kvf2gjgBl
836Please respect copyright.PENANAKKRwnS3TIC
一開始我沒有多想,直到兩分鐘過去,我才逐漸發覺,小獸人的吼聲並非是為了使力而發出的嘶吼。836Please respect copyright.PENANAUv7j17nRdW
836Please respect copyright.PENANATAqC4jgU5D
他的聲音中充滿了憎恨,簡直把木樁當初了憎恨對象,我感覺到他的每一次爪擊都是怨恨,卡姆不是在練習,他是在發洩。836Please respect copyright.PENANAXNoq46tU8n
836Please respect copyright.PENANA2w9WQc5wpW
發洩心中所有的不滿、憤怒、無助、痛苦,但是不論他花費多久的時間攻擊木樁,那些情緒都沒有被消耗掉,反而是越積越多,持續影響他的心靈。836Please respect copyright.PENANAhkKttMsGbu
836Please respect copyright.PENANAdq7tSPjH5Z
問我為什麼知道?836Please respect copyright.PENANAfE5j7sDl1R
836Please respect copyright.PENANAn9kVxuEihc
因為我看到他的姿勢變得雜亂,喘息也失去節奏,卡姆的吼聲沒有攻擊般深厚的咆哮,只剩下沒有任何意義嘶吼。836Please respect copyright.PENANAJg4KSDglrr
836Please respect copyright.PENANAoyEgjfnRwD
看著卡姆的動作,我為他感到心疼,但是,我不知道該怎麼幫助他。836Please respect copyright.PENANAZWOsXKp5kl
836Please respect copyright.PENANAI835McQCKt
治療身上的任何傷口對我而言非常簡單,不過我完全沒有能力治療他心靈上的傷,那不是學習基本的知識和技術就能夠醫治的,一個處理不好,甚至只會讓他傷的更重。836Please respect copyright.PENANAWQGeQzDRls
836Please respect copyright.PENANA9xbtlATicw
我把朵菈放下,女孩看著男孩的眼中滿是擔心,她望著我,也許是希望我能夠對他做點什麼。836Please respect copyright.PENANAZOQ6YYiGTf
836Please respect copyright.PENANAwQBe31efVn
我也很想做點什麼,卡姆的嘶吼聲每一下都狠狠刺進我的心臟,我不能放任他這樣下去。836Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7LnA6I7zu
836Please respect copyright.PENANAfmDq6hc30U
「卡姆。」836Please respect copyright.PENANAtsFilIDJ5I
836Please respect copyright.PENANAoMcqaX6b4M
我走進歇斯底里的男孩,他並沒有發現我已經靠近。836Please respect copyright.PENANAdIG4fKVy6P
836Please respect copyright.PENANAgSNAyYzDP4
「卡姆。」836Please respect copyright.PENANAjO0NN2dHt6
836Please respect copyright.PENANAQXL2RjFx8w
我加大音量,小獸人猛然轉過身,我看見他露出尖銳的犬齒,藍色雙眼中的情緒逐漸轉變成瘋狂。836Please respect copyright.PENANA0cqcHqBNJL
836Please respect copyright.PENANARmD2FEZwFK
他發出野獸兇狠的咕嚕聲,我在他面前單膝跪下,一把將他拉入懷中緊緊抱住。836Please respect copyright.PENANABGg1TuoyH0
836Please respect copyright.PENANAAsgMlp7xQD
「嘎……啊……」836Please respect copyright.PENANARYtOxAwRpu
836Please respect copyright.PENANApKi2ZrFBS4
卡姆聲音中的野獸吼聲退去,只剩下男孩的聲音。836Please respect copyright.PENANAreHLG3Xpwm
836Please respect copyright.PENANAzuX9ILYLXG
我一句話都沒說,只是緊緊地把他抱在懷裡,卡姆一開始想要掙脫,但並沒有表現的非常努力,我感受到他的指甲試圖抓住我把我推開,不過那力道僅僅只維持了幾秒便消失。836Please respect copyright.PENANAb8vkpgDTFd
836Please respect copyright.PENANAu4rvQ79Ohw
隨後,我感覺到他開始發抖,男孩也伸出雙手緊緊將我抱住,把臉埋到我的衣服裡。836Please respect copyright.PENANAeta3R43D1L
836Please respect copyright.PENANA2UHNCG4ia0
「嗚……」836Please respect copyright.PENANAp6Tu8DOD31
836Please respect copyright.PENANAbQYg2fvKBn
男孩哭了起來,他的哭泣完全沒有聲音,只是縮在我懷中無聲的哭著,那真的讓我非常心痛,我知道他經歷了什麼,但卻連一句『沒事了』都說不出口。836Please respect copyright.PENANAruk3YaxR0h
836Please respect copyright.PENANA27mPiHiKD6
我無法向他保證他以後再也不會遇上任何傷害,而他就連找上傷害他的人報仇也做不到,那種無助是最難受的疼痛。836Please respect copyright.PENANACTHYfLT5kg
836Please respect copyright.PENANAv9sMMQHDcq
「抱歉……卡姆。」
我慢慢地說道。
「你身上所有的傷口,唯獨這個傷我無能為力,我很抱歉我無法讓你好受,哪怕只有治療萬分之一傷。」836Please respect copyright.PENANAJTeeWNiKIo
836Please respect copyright.PENANAnhIlT8RczO
卡姆仍然在哭泣,他的聲音也沒有任何停頓。836Please respect copyright.PENANA9YvA5KVg98
836Please respect copyright.PENANAOKyy9zgc02
「我能夠做的,只有接納你的傷痛,所以……你可以盡情哭泣,我知道你失去了很多、我也明白你遭遇了多少痛苦,我可以體會你的憤怒和怨恨,我理解,所以,釋放吧,我會全部接受的。」836Please respect copyright.PENANAX3aMHLRz48
836Please respect copyright.PENANAmd4iQz0oyq
卡姆聽見我說的話,於是,男孩哭出了聲音。836Please respect copyright.PENANAdlA0kV0Xqf
836Please respect copyright.PENANA41aLTTftcr
「啊……啊啊……!」836Please respect copyright.PENANA8eMdOp5lBV
836Please respect copyright.PENANA4u6C7H2An4
他開始在我懷裡放聲哭吼,撕扯著自己的喉嚨,像是要把自己的全部都給吐出來般哭吼著。836Please respect copyright.PENANAjvuh2haKRn
836Please respect copyright.PENANAqMCTRy3rlM
836Please respect copyright.PENANAWIIpmj3jFQ

時間過的很快,從我在豔陽城登記成冒險者之後已經過去了三個月,這中間不少事情都在計畫中慢慢進行著。836Please respect copyright.PENANAMJAwNsuhMV
836Please respect copyright.PENANAbnhth2TKR5
首先是冒險者任務,我一直都有固定回去公會裡接下一些採集任務,從草藥到野獸素材,到礦物收集都做過了。836Please respect copyright.PENANAKjiGPtHMV1
836Please respect copyright.PENANAbhVOiMHdh7
中間當然也有一些冒險者來找我組隊,只不過全部都被我拒絕了,目前我還沒打算多和其他人接觸,只要做點不會被取消資格的任務就好了。836Please respect copyright.PENANAUNTL03AMK7
836Please respect copyright.PENANA3BKnR2kUCp
莫拉瓦那邊的事情也處理的很順利,他們在中央區比較熱鬧的地方找到一間有三層樓又有地下室的房子,把原本迷幻泡沫的東西全部搬過去。836Please respect copyright.PENANAROAwts0cIE
836Please respect copyright.PENANA0z0K1JHITb
搬到新的地方之後也不用原本的店名了,所以我就絞盡腦汁的想了一個名字,改叫『萬藥釀造』,真的是花了我好多時間才想到一個好點的名字。836Please respect copyright.PENANAiIf3aPG68E
836Please respect copyright.PENANAjU0YXrEdlm
聽莫拉瓦說,我和他們接觸後的那天就遇上麻煩,但是我給的護身戒和魔像都好好的保護了他們,不是什麼大問題,叫我不需要擔心。836Please respect copyright.PENANAzopLcsu6UM
836Please respect copyright.PENANAuYArCkKB0J
考慮到今後開店進貨和整理的問題,我後來又找時間過去一趟,多交付了五個魔像給他們使用,然後也順便把我自己寫的藥水配方交給莫拉瓦,他老人家可高興了,當天就叫了幾批草藥,躲進製藥房不出來。836Please respect copyright.PENANAPLxTaYKH4i
836Please respect copyright.PENANAm4mzrgzLmP
喬奇後來也聯繫我,希望我可以教導他一點藥水知識,因為莫拉瓦一埋頭研究就不會理他,但那少年自己也想要學習製藥,同時也想要一間自己的研究室。836Please respect copyright.PENANAnX0QXvmCsa
836Please respect copyright.PENANA27IHMj2me4
我的目的目前還沒達成,所以要他首先照顧好莫拉瓦,直到一切妥當之後再來討論這些事。836Please respect copyright.PENANAZwIFPv1zZZ
836Please respect copyright.PENANAQOHurH0ZxH
至於卡姆和朵菈,在那一次男孩大哭一場之後,他終於開始會拜託我一些事情,首先就是想要可以在庭院裡自行練習武術,我當然不會拒絕。836Please respect copyright.PENANAEjuiawrobw
836Please respect copyright.PENANAyMi2upa7L3
不過自從有一次他看見我在揮舞剛做好的匕首之後,不知道是什麼原因,他好像發現了不知名的希望,直接問我能不能教導他戰鬥技巧。836Please respect copyright.PENANAyECPUFTs1E
836Please respect copyright.PENANAgSheoueIV5
雖然不明究理,不過我本來就會他所使用的技巧,教一下也沒影響,所以當然是答應他。836Please respect copyright.PENANAFDqmWSyE90
836Please respect copyright.PENANAkEdwGjEuNM
結果就變成連朵菈也加入教學之中。836Please respect copyright.PENANAA8Hse74RjR
836Please respect copyright.PENANAIcbwQpd9T7
為了正確教學,我再一次對他們使用鑑定,確定他們真正的種族。836Please respect copyright.PENANAu3PPfhcX1K
836Please respect copyright.PENANAGqFvCsDQT5
卡姆是影狼族,朵菈則是霜貓族。836Please respect copyright.PENANAZ58W2feCBq
836Please respect copyright.PENANAvnmV3vWHAa
聽起來是很威的種族,不過實際上真正威的也只是他們的祖先,現在的影狼和霜貓族已經沒有過去的威能,這反倒讓我有點興趣,現在就先不說,等時機成熟了在和他們提起吧!836Please respect copyright.PENANAI9Sd9qKPx6
836Please respect copyright.PENANAcwxqPY7dFp
這三個月裡,我的生活重心都放在這兩個孩子身上,透過基礎飲食還有訓練,加上用藥物調整他們的身體機能,感覺就像武俠小說裡面,主角吃下各種仙丹改善體質一樣。836Please respect copyright.PENANAR7FjMSraD1
836Please respect copyright.PENANAdEeiRFwPYl
當然我做的藥沒有小說裡面那麼粗暴迅速,我也沒有打算做出什麼改造神兵,讓他自然成長就好了。836Please respect copyright.PENANAwT357pXhSH
836Please respect copyright.PENANA1OZ7jqRAmA
說起來在這些時間裡最讓我意外的,大概就是這兩個孩子的成長速了,好像是在營養充足的情況下,孩子們會成長的飛快,明明兩個人都沒有超過十歲,身體卻已經成長的和青少年一樣大了,雖然不是隔一天就長成這樣,但是看到他們迅速長高時,還是讓我嚇了很大一跳,感覺這兩個獸人種就像是吹氣球一樣長大。836Please respect copyright.PENANALFRO4EE3GN
836Please respect copyright.PENANADVZGxljsXR
相較之下,獸人種非常會吃這一點,就沒有讓我這麼吃驚了,儘管他們還是在三個月內把我存下半年份的肉給吃完,不過我早有打算,也把這個計劃加入訓練之中。836Please respect copyright.PENANADKVqHZQM2G
836Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ1wEmt3W8
「艾利法,為什麼只是去打獵,我們還需要穿裝備?」836Please respect copyright.PENANAORqyv2Z5CE
836Please respect copyright.PENANAgC41KhYKOG
兩個孩子跟著我來到存放裝備的房間,卡姆在進來之後才這麼對我問著。836Please respect copyright.PENANACgT4aD6ZxM
836Please respect copyright.PENANAwPw3FX5UKb
「首先,你必須有一個概念,不論要做什麼事情,都不能掉以輕心,就算你只是出去採集草藥也不能放鬆警惕。」836Please respect copyright.PENANAEd91HJR0pM
836Please respect copyright.PENANAe1s0Bf6nTU
我邊說邊打開櫃子,從裡面取出樹皮與金屬製作的護甲。836Please respect copyright.PENANAcxrxgYXXJW
836Please respect copyright.PENANAdikI8EDAZi
「更何況我們打獵的地方在這個森林裡,也許你們還不知道,但這個森林內部,可是被人們稱為地獄深坑的危險區域喔。」836Please respect copyright.PENANA6YmPVQn2qD
836Please respect copyright.PENANAWSUyG2aGTu
當然這個名詞是我在冒險者公會裡聽到的,根據我在佈告欄上看到的任務顯示,在這個森林附近的任務全都是A級以上的任務,而且基本上都沒有真的深入森林內部,只是在外部討伐的任務,如果真的要發出進入森林內部的任務,我看都會是S級起跳的。836Please respect copyright.PENANA2xmK39gjJr
836Please respect copyright.PENANAn0EylVhx81
「這麼危險,我們在這裡打獵沒有問題嗎?」836Please respect copyright.PENANAGARn0rqtlU
836Please respect copyright.PENANAxiLLBRKkzO
和卡姆比起來,朵菈就謹慎的多,這女孩其實打從醒來的那天開始,就莫名的順從我所說的任何事情,我不太理解為什麼,但也無從對她提起,所幸目前為止並沒什麼問題發生,我也就沒什麼好計較的。836Please respect copyright.PENANADONVRdSIaJ
836Please respect copyright.PENANAhg22GYWmMb
「我們不需要真的深入森林裡,只需要在附近尋找可以狩獵的生物就可以了,而且我會跟在你們身邊,真要有危險出現時,我會保護你們的。」836Please respect copyright.PENANAtxrYgoitCS
836Please respect copyright.PENANAnEt11cVpNQ
這句話一說完,朵菈就在這時撲上來抱住我,撒嬌似地在我懷裡摩蹭,我能說什麼呢?別看她像個十四歲的少女,她實際上也不過就五歲多而已,就算比一般五歲的孩子要聰明一點,也不可能就有著十幾歲的心智。836Please respect copyright.PENANA2AIYkTLs3f
836Please respect copyright.PENANAOsd2SJPN9v
「朵菈,別這樣黏著艾利法!」836Please respect copyright.PENANAHJQTFLBL4f
836Please respect copyright.PENANAUwyDwGuYge
卡姆看不下去了,在後面出聲阻止朵菈,不過她當然沒有要理會男孩的意思,仍然黏著我不放。836Please respect copyright.PENANA3q1huKMq22
836Please respect copyright.PENANAuQSGGyKea5
「好了,放手吧,來試穿這些裝備。」836Please respect copyright.PENANAicBe25c3Uq
836Please respect copyright.PENANARvIx32gJeA
當我這麼說完,女孩就乖乖的放開手,說實在她表現的這麼乖,我真的是很難不疼她,但是不行,我要學會不偏袒任何一邊,不然小孩的心理會不平衡的。836Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ9TrXoYZz
836Please respect copyright.PENANA6GsUKLxqsY
要讓他們解開心防已經夠困難了,我一點也不想做錯了什麼事,然後讓兩個孩子跟我的距離越來越遠,我只能祈求上天保祐我能做到。836Please respect copyright.PENANAZgjalnGSg9
