在他掌心打轉的水珠向上飛竄,透明藍的水滴於無邊無際的黑暗中顯得異常清晰,一點一滴往上升的模樣好似由地面降落至天空的雨,水花在高處聚集,液體旋繞處逐漸顯現蔚藍的色彩,青天以此為中心向外展開,只有黑色的世界慢慢被晴空覆蓋。354Please respect copyright.PENANAcHdxbZlFfF

他向上望,綠眸反映出藍天的倒影。354Please respect copyright.PENANAFHlqURivmG

隔天吃早飯時,涅澤爾還是沒有回來,用膳時間白龍不發一語、專注地凝視霍金的餐盤,也不知在想些什麼。在霍金解決自己的份、把鮮食放到波可面前的當下,白龍同時對少年開口:354Please respect copyright.PENANAVHDmHQ3yiw
354Please respect copyright.PENANAWcYOW33YII
「萵苣先生已經來這裡八天了吧,差不多可以認識大家了。」354Please respect copyright.PENANAUC9qdzm4Ei
354Please respect copyright.PENANAHipZMC2rE1
「什麼大家?」354Please respect copyright.PENANAzKUW8LFoyA
354Please respect copyright.PENANAVsP3uer455
霍金困惑地反問,這座塔裡的活物不就只有他、波可、小白和某個王八蛋而已嗎?該不會還有不知名的隱藏居民?那樣的話莫非是住在密室裡?354Please respect copyright.PENANAe1uqwMqTQC
354Please respect copyright.PENANAHCCubFEJJu
白龍昂起頭來,語帶笑意,「就是在高塔裡的大家呀,它們剛剛也這麼說喔。」354Please respect copyright.PENANAIiGqZ27Duv
354Please respect copyright.PENANAUf7PJpgKtJ
「不是,我的意思是、你說的大家是誰啊?」霍金實是丈二金剛摸不著頭腦,他在小白說出「它就在萵苣先生你前面啊」的時候左顧右盼,這裡分明半個人也沒有,「什麼跟什麼……幽靈喔?」354Please respect copyright.PENANAtCB6PRCSYP
354Please respect copyright.PENANAL6KuM2aGE9
話音甫落,桌上的托盤便朝王子直撲而去,霍金千鈞一髮地避開,白龍發出一聲咆嘯,托盤又好端端地飛回原位,霍金驚魂未定地瞪著差點砸破他腦門的托盤,波可跳上椅子蹬上桌面企圖抓咬攻擊主人的兇器,托盤再次飛升,霍金趕忙將狗兒抓回懷裡,他都還沒罵出聲,小白便率先道歉:354Please respect copyright.PENANAw7aRNQZqkL
354Please respect copyright.PENANAzDuzd9tcA0
「對不起,萵苣先生,因為人類都以為器靈是鬼怪作亂,所以它聽到你那樣說才會特別生氣……」354Please respect copyright.PENANAlNKRxDZK93
354Please respect copyright.PENANANgpfi21mRv
「慢著!」少年大聲截斷白龍的話語,他看了托盤一眼又回望白龍,驚疑不定地說道:「你剛剛說『它聽到我那樣說』?」354Please respect copyright.PENANApnCqrvgoMn
354Please respect copyright.PENANAKyBcIF5H0B
「嗯?對呀。」354Please respect copyright.PENANAjBeZ4Fm9xK
354Please respect copyright.PENANAeN38VVHXIO
托盤飛到歪著頭的小白身後,霍金一面撫摸愛犬讓牠安定下來、一面道:「你這句話是什麼意思?這裡的家具餐具都能聽得懂人話?」354Please respect copyright.PENANAJgyGANkW2z
354Please respect copyright.PENANArXXPWEfUA3
「不一定喔。」白龍瞥了後方的盤子一眼,解釋:「這裡有一些東西是不知道哪一個涅澤爾大人留下的,那些就是普通的家具;現在這些器靈幾乎都是上一個涅澤爾大人帶回來的,因為它們從前就生活在人類家裡,所以也能聽懂人話。」354Please respect copyright.PENANATI32Xi4pcl
354Please respect copyright.PENANASOSjsW65Ce
「器靈是啥?」354Please respect copyright.PENANAcWCYFunRfW
354Please respect copyright.PENANAjmR2tY3t0L
「器靈就是指被歲月洗煉出靈魂、進而得到魔力、擁有自我意識的物品──這是上一個涅澤爾大人告訴我的。」354Please respect copyright.PENANAmvTkEeLhAZ
354Please respect copyright.PENANAjofY0jIBgp
自我意識……腦子亂成一團的霍金忍不住提問:「我每天用來吃飯的湯匙叉子那些,該不會也跟那張托盤是同一種東西吧。」354Please respect copyright.PENANAUoCfYPV8cT
354Please respect copyright.PENANAOCYBKrI9uA
小白甩一甩尾巴,「不是啦,那些是以前的涅澤爾大人的,現在正在餐廳的器靈就只有托盤而已!」354Please respect copyright.PENANAqkblZOQtAP
354Please respect copyright.PENANAg00IJHvqTX
少年頷首,他懷中的波可也在雙方對談時逐漸恢復冷靜,霍金因為自己不是拿奇怪的東西吃飯慶幸了半秒,接著才後知後覺地意識到白龍方才似乎說了很多奇怪的話。354Please respect copyright.PENANAuVSIZzxDCF
354Please respect copyright.PENANAasHjk7H3iG
「對了,小白,你剛剛說什麼以前的、什麼上一個,難不成那傢伙有分身嗎?」354Please respect copyright.PENANAMZOblu7lC0
354Please respect copyright.PENANAvT2iBi2Cqt
「不是這樣呢……這個等涅澤爾大人想告訴萵苣先生再說好了。」354Please respect copyright.PENANApARKp4yE4W
354Please respect copyright.PENANAD1xbMTekuU
霍金嘖了一聲,反正他也不是很想知道。他盯著白龍後方的托盤,又問:「那你剛剛說要認識,是要認識什麼?」354Please respect copyright.PENANAxyrGI4jz7J
354Please respect copyright.PENANAzXcrvd4nEz
「就是自我介紹、當個朋友之類的?」白龍將頭顱歪向右方,「如果你們互相認識的話,盤子它們可能也不會再刁難萵苣先生了吧,我可以當你們的翻譯喔。」354Please respect copyright.PENANAY8frj1vl8Y
354Please respect copyright.PENANApQ4mVPL94h
「它不是會說人話嗎,還要什麼翻譯?」354Please respect copyright.PENANAx90HoZBXU2
354Please respect copyright.PENANALXj6wPdzb3
「不是啦,萵苣先生,它們是聽得懂人話,但要對話就只能用魔力波溝通而已。」354Please respect copyright.PENANA21z5zCWI5b
354Please respect copyright.PENANAaMgVpg93DZ
「……魔力波又是什麼鬼?」怎麼一堆聽也聽不懂的名詞啊?霍金將波可放回地上,讓愛犬吃完剩下的早餐。354Please respect copyright.PENANAODGvaCTmKQ
354Please respect copyright.PENANAhEfpst5SlF
托盤在此時稍微往前進了一點,小白耐心地解釋:「有魔力的靈魂都能用魔力波互相溝通,聽說沒有魔力的人完全感覺不到魔力波,我也不曉得怎麼跟你說……嗯,我們剛剛一直有用魔力波說話喔,萵苣先生有感覺到嗎?」354Please respect copyright.PENANAa8Yqcv8LKD
354Please respect copyright.PENANAa2asxGxHYj
「沒有。」見白龍一副不知從何講起的苦惱樣,霍金擺了擺手說道:「算了啦,反正我當作你們在用我聽不到的聲音講話就好了,所以現在要幹嘛?那張托盤說它想認識我?」354Please respect copyright.PENANAtFY2IWayKL
354Please respect copyright.PENANAVHXTkkpDTG
被綁架到巫師塔裡八天都逃不出去,現在還得跟家具做朋友,這都是什麼跟什麼啊,童話故事也沒他的遭遇離奇好嗎。霍金在心底埋怨道,但看在小白對他不差的份上,他倒是沒將心裡話直接說出口。他又想了想,要是跟這些家具餐具打好關係,說不定還有機會讓它們無視巫師協助自己逃亡,那這也不算是浪費時間。354Please respect copyright.PENANAAM8MfKqbdt
354Please respect copyright.PENANAYn1ckWYJFy
「嗯,它想幫菜刀它們問問萵苣先生你這幾天吃飯的感想。」354Please respect copyright.PENANAbLFHOaoQAO
354Please respect copyright.PENANAGJYNbLYOgi
「啥?」354Please respect copyright.PENANAYXIzvxr9C6
354Please respect copyright.PENANAlD5zSyjEsb
「就是,萵苣先生前幾天不是說很難吃嗎?」白龍說話的同時,牠背後的托盤飛離桌面五公分又重重砸下,彷彿是人類在拍桌,「托盤轉達給廚房的大家之後,鍋子聽了很傷心呢,菜刀本來還想砍你的,不過被湯杓阻止了。」354Please respect copyright.PENANAJnQ0WONVz8
354Please respect copyright.PENANAXieUQJMc8q
「你都這麼說了,我能不講好吃嗎?!」354Please respect copyright.PENANAmV7rbntCAv
354Please respect copyright.PENANAHaAMO58gxZ
「啊,那就是好吃囉,真是太好了。」白龍語氣欣慰,像是完全沒注意到霍金是以何種心態做出回應,接著又說出恐怖的發言:「這樣就不用把菜刀一直關在廚房裡了,不然它每天都想殺了萵苣先生呢。」354Please respect copyright.PENANAtI775DihEc
354Please respect copyright.PENANAU84FGkM1d9
「……你還是讓它待在廚房吧。」354Please respect copyright.PENANAY47wG7uWss
