威廉見狀後，大吃一驚。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7xLvlWZ5W
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjWApVvt11
——為什麼？466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyaDLAPMjx
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8djw5QNhZ8
事實上，這不只是因為威廉看到妹妹的身上出現奇怪鱗片的關係，所以他才擺出吃驚模樣。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif22wuk3RW
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5YOnBcVpN
「為什麼我手上的鱗片會……」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWvuyyO87Y
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjwEO04TvX
慢慢消失呢？這五個字，威廉沒機會說出口。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ2O93m4fE
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N55n9bPCy
這是因為，在威廉要說出口的那一瞬間，頭部就遭到重擊。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9W94QHF8c
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufq9doey2r
「幹什麼東西？」一名士兵說話了。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aus10zOcL
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxjIqnhyV6
「……」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFdKzdstb5
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkj9cRZBcu
威廉一直到左臉頰貼地的這一刻，才回過神，察覺自己大概是被士兵打了。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kKDi7Kutu
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlmGZ0qmwe
然後，現在威廉感覺右臉頰被踩。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs0DbvVZ6m
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOnEmmZNMg
「你站起來啦，哈？想幹麻？再拍你那翅膀嚇人嗎？」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywb7SQfoks
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKWe3n1P2j
「可、可惡……」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sraBMTB7s
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QsaBj3AQg
「哈？說什麼東西？」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC6Bpig0I2
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46yoJfNXm1
——難道我就要這樣死了嗎？466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uCz2iPLYU
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyEnxpIHKR
趴在地上、宛如一頭被強迫馴化的生物，威廉已經看不見母親了，然而這並不是因為其他兩名士兵已經享用完畢，也不是因為威廉現在的視線角度看不到母親。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPm6R0AInR
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecAXNjsACU
威廉心想——就跟媽媽一樣，要被這些人……466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwLXrpJF3J
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVplRd3vj2
而是因為威廉流眼淚的關係，視線模糊到看不清楚眼前的景況。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT6SI53osF
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctqlYfFgUP
士兵抬起腳，準備用力再往下踩的瞬間，威廉緊閉雙眼。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqJMbjqMeq
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq51auCUoD
就在此刻——466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgey1f5qSe0
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NpPxpF2KM
「怎、怎麼回事？喔……喔啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi9qs3IpTc
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYs6tlfWAE
那名想要再踩威廉臉頰的士兵，突然間跌倒。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhu1ZxpYVD
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHSSKMpBb8
威廉見狀後，先是皺眉，畢竟不曉得發生了什麼，但他感覺到自己身後有一股熱能，於是轉頭查看，然後瞪大雙眼。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGZn2u5aa6
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQn8UsVXc9
威廉看見了！他看見妹妹全身發出紅光，而這紅光內部，好像有一顆光球，位於妹妹的心臟附近，接下來該光球散出一束光芒，打向那名跌倒的士兵。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8eTEO6L8h
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yeEKrnoYk
「不！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊……」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOqkLe4BSG
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTKKeNoUiW
威廉看見光束打向那名士兵後，該士兵大聲喊叫，接著就化成火焰變成灰燼。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0KUXGjWwZ
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zDYN2AlDA
——怎麼回事？466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwEnzEjrq7
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJljK0DUc8
——不、不對。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfCp901jxa
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaddBbFA8nM
威廉趁這空檔，其他兩名士兵都看傻眼、沒來制止的空檔，抱起妹妹、緩緩嘗試站起身子。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIMnCHXDdO
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBWASSAQ9r
身體上的疼痛，和無法拯救母親的傷痛，如同腐蝕性液體淋在身上一般，令威廉差點站不起來、身子重心不穩搖搖晃晃。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUSUFjSPOD
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVGUCRRZ26
——不管到底是怎樣，是那個藥水也好、妹妹本來的力量也罷，那都不重要。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMuShAqbac
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb105Umnnsf
——重要的是，一個月大的小女孩都沒有放棄了……466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTZ5BAjHEy
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOixo6dnbZ
然而，威廉依舊起身。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKh8g0aCZB
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8AgMvByfo
他懷中的妹妹，好像是在對他笑的樣子，威廉用眼角餘光發現此事，這讓他心情變得好一些。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLCXmNmTP3
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tO5YdcbTu
他張開翅膀，閉上眼，接著他身子開始慢慢發出藍光。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1D8ksEgoU
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnpNMgYPSG
「身為哥哥的我又怎麼可以？」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU4MS1OLEX
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SPjLVzuLR
「你要幹什麼？」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTRyZbhva0
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CqYs3eoJ7
「喂！」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5vSNfF2Rs
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbatx7Dazh
士兵好像到剛剛才注意到威廉的模樣，但已經來不及。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBSlKbn48G
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlh8P20wc7
喊完聲後，威廉拍打翅膀飛起，砰一聲撞破自家屋頂，來到天空中。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5ODXVdDYU
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBigDCYWKE
——雖然長老跟爸爸有說過，不要隨便用這招不然會傷到人，但現在也顧不了這麼多了。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWqIAlTOl8
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVQKdjIGui
飛到空中的威廉，深呼吸一口氣，開始自言自語：466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNecx5IUTx
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oXOLhcYPf
「偉大又崇高的天龍始祖啊，請給予您的子民真正的力量……」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy69YCHxum
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggb0mfd9DM
因為母親被殺害又被羞辱，自己還差點掛掉，這份滿滿的傷感、憎恨與不甘心，威廉打算將其全部發洩出來。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF81QaiN6i
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfaXX4HIC9
威廉這時身上的藍色光芒，已經耀眼到連他自己都必須閉上眼睛。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fSHhjuZht
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJjo92erGY
「當山崩地裂、海枯石爛，地面寸草不生、萬物回歸虛有……」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04AwZ3yvFA
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO4JNsoelC
「期許光亮挺身而出，照亮黑暗、為世間帶來和平與美。」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mbfBufnEs
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBnESUYyox
威廉選擇衝破屋頂、來到自由的天空，發洩情緒，是兩個原因中的其中之一。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI4EGKsDE8
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwIxkAx23A
「那些從地獄來的，必將回歸天堂受審判。」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOg0asOzB5
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqUFnWHW7i
「舊的不去、新的不來……」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLoluI2zJc
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn1ktrXMZ9
威廉唸咒到此之時，將肚子吸得飽飽的。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyA5WAGLgm
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXsFrtgDNa
「斷罪之火、滅世之燄，始祖的力量在此，為我燃盡無數邪惡百鬼。」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaSl7MGEVP
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwqXp7RcLq
「龍舌吐息——！」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f21XEeZff
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54WrGgW99M
咒語結束後，威廉吐出巨大火焰，將自己與母親住的房子給燒毀。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHClvdfNAxV
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zz1BE9wM3
火焰吐出的那一刻，威廉的肚子消下去，彷彿所有傷感、憎恨與不甘心都慢慢消除似的。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYGgutZEjC
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeYnyd4ZYy
不只如此，他還在天空中俯視，發現這一地段的房子都殘破不堪，好像都被搶劫了一樣。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMew8G7shiy
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsQfAI342q
威廉把他的火焰轉向那些房子，一口氣，就使這一帶都化為一座火海。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpyLxIxrZk
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsPjcN3Xfa
然而，究竟威廉為什麼要這麼做？士兵們大概是不清楚的。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljcrgoUQEp
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U9yHFAwys
對他們來說，威廉這麼做的目的不明。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xZmicsDKH
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBPXM4wZ7s
畢竟所有龍族都是不怕火的，無論龍還是邪龍。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEu6OKTfP0
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3W8Fnll0G
「喂！正統龍族小弟弟，你瘋了嗎？」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk9fWzPUIk
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAFmBMmYoD
「就算只剩你們家我們還沒搜刮完，也不用這樣子吧！」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIkJ3m2PpV
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4LOOOt2tW
底下的士兵抬頭喊聲。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7MkSUQpx3
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzhtJKeZfE
也許他們可以想得到的，想到威廉大概是情緒不穩才如此。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWQSfwHhFZ
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XWSJCdKrY
他們沒有直接說出口，也許是因為沒有從威廉此刻的模樣馬上聯想到。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyk47Rmlax
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGjkqGuzi7
威廉此刻的模樣，已經不是正統龍族的樣子，而是有著邪龍的鱗片、龍族的鱗片，以及人類的皮膚。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vnK9hlUBx
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJx8ZafWa7
「你……喂！醉鬼，就跟你說不要亂用那個藥水。」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsHghAedXM
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq6ytyKLgB
「不是，不可能。那個藥水的效力才不會……」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY2wC6v7Li
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnLYujQ36O
「你們聽好了，可惡的邪龍士兵們。」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lESQGH91E
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpzWJTUAEZ
於那兩位士兵講悄悄話之時，威廉說話了。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU0CYeDoUN
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTekYvYWkll
「以我現在的力量，還沒有辦法打倒你們，但是總有一天我會回來找你們。」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGZtfTKIjo
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQUTB8zMia
在那之前，給我洗乾淨脖子等著——威廉沒有把這句話完整說出來。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpMjxxefAg
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5GIAx1yup
那是因為，士兵在他說到「在那之前」這個詞的時候，就打斷威廉說話。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPszm0Y7yew
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsZuoCzICA
「滾下來啦，可惡！」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpw6Zeaj1w
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2NvtZID2T
咻——466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJVDwkKE5d
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjNNwUbRMy
一根長矛飛向威廉，然而威廉輕鬆閃開。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMKoQWzVqw
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QeHH0wdBK
然後威廉繼續說：466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFgYjqNYoL
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTkJTP3Yup
「你們邪龍族殺害我的母親，我是絕對不會忘記的，這裡不會再有人類受到你們羞辱，因為都已經沒有了。」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVAA57fvab
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirEVSDLubB
「……原來如此，這就是你的目的嗎？可惡！」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF098eneiFs
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsE6vz85nA
「所以你是哪裡有毛病？該死！你到底是誰？」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAk1doWaLO
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mKFxWFj6D
咻——466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNa8UDXbsH
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRWiOhARh5
這次是箭飛向威廉，然而威廉還是輕鬆閃開。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9hevqWoPW
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAZ0HQNwRY
「我是誰？」威廉聽到士兵的言語後，冷笑。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF24hCnFkR
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSY5fLZf6N
「正統龍族不可能有這種力量的。」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulIthFvV8s
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLtX5W5ER2
「好、好，我們認輸好嗎？你好像很強的樣子，乾脆就加入我們邪龍怎麼樣？」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltc2Ndj1oU
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiorYHzDG0
「別笑掉別人大牙了！」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUAWS79Z0s
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR3KWOav5X
威廉此語，令士兵愣住。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8s916be4b
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYXgaKFwPT
不到兩秒，威廉再度說話：466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX07ghJpSzL
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkkwWOAuxu
「我是誰？我不是以天空為傲的龍族，也不是以地面自居的邪龍，當然也不可能是人類。」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi77770gGt5
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY3JLJ4hqr
「「……」」466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQaw33BxNz
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjPJvxPaxo
我就是半龍族——這是威廉最後對士兵說的六個字。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmeGacF9fs
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzvCGj1pV4
在威廉說出口的那瞬間，他感覺到體內突然有一股刺痛感，但不像是肌肉損傷，可能是內臟出問題。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiECg66OGC
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ049IUQWTHV
因為這樣，威廉判斷不宜久留，所以就飛離此地。

＊

離開該處後，威廉在深山中的某座洞窟睡了一夜，等到他醒過來已經是可以看得見日出之時。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSrr80KgN1
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFk1fGOCz6
威廉昨晚本想吐出藍色的火，但後來卻不知為何，吐出的卻是偏橘黃色的烈焰——這個想法是在威廉瞥見陽光的時候回憶起來的。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyyl65PPyM
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATTldtruIH
他低下頭來，全身肌肉繃緊、身體因此再度作痛。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9VofBmQlm
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5VJHPH1A1
襁褓看上去像是白色的雲，緊緊環抱裡頭的嬰孩。可能是因為如此，威廉才鬆了口氣。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWNnmLCw5U
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡligeSepdNR
——還好昨天晚上的魔法沒有傷到妹妹。

雖然如此，但威廉知道妹妹跟自己身上的鱗片其實沒有那麼容易消除這個事實，已經是他們長大之後了。

多年後，當威廉.康斯坦丁再度面臨家人臨死危機之時，他腦海中都會浮現這段小時候的回憶，然而其實他最想要忘掉的，也是這段記憶。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXo97R1EUq
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTbecYKElb
不過，還是有些事情忘不了，也不能忘掉。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFks2RIfSGd
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAoPVdzPF0
威廉依然遵循多年前的自己，於那座洞窟面向朝陽的那一刻，與妹妹定下的承諾。無論過了多久、無論遭遇什麼天大挫折，他都相信著自己能夠辦到，只要和妹妹一起。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgBRpCyfvs
466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ACSPWCgDe
宛如嘲笑臉孔的月亮，已經下降到地平線以下，上來的是溫暖的陽光，與一旁襯托的白色雲朵。466Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhlsosQfyf
