巨龍撼天的嘯吼震盪空氣,即便身處堅固的石造神殿,依舊能夠感受共鳴的餘波。懸掛的金屬工具碰撞出噹啷聲響,逃離時未及熄滅的熔爐熾烈燃燒,匆促中遺棄的器材與琳瑯滿目的工藝半成品雜亂地堆置,在火光映照下拼疊出錯落模糊的黑影。64Please respect copyright.PENANAmx3dSR9Ghu
64Please respect copyright.PENANAgNNyogPx8D
貢德神殿與亞提爾以往造訪的宗教聖堂大相逕庭,其內部充滿了鍛造的鐵砧、機械的零件、設計圖的捲軸,相比其它殿堂供奉神祇的聖潔形象,此處更像是屬於工匠的領域。64Please respect copyright.PENANAME51aePHYB
64Please respect copyright.PENANADOsUewj4ft
「貢德神是靈感與工藝之神,我們平常都在這裡工作,替雇主打造物品或修理器具。」注意到亞提爾好奇的目光左右張望,道格拉澤貼心說明。一旁的阿爾德則是沉默地逕自拖拉其中一隻掙扎不休的狗頭人傭兵進到儲藏室,帶著慍怒的力道狠狠關上門板。64Please respect copyright.PENANA6A6xMncpmr
64Please respect copyright.PENANAlHuT4ZDpSp
「卡司,你們先在售物區休息,等我們確認這群人的目的後再一起前往避難所。」安置好斯威夫特一家人,道格拉澤又指向盡頭的房間,「洛瑞斯先生,你們可以使用那間臥室,雖然不寬敞,但應該足夠讓你們審問俘虜。」64Please respect copyright.PENANASLatrNF4Vc
64Please respect copyright.PENANA1OuQ4uFeOm
「沒、沒問題!我、我、我知道該怎麼拷問人!」芙﹒喬希自告奮勇地接下任務。64Please respect copyright.PENANAMRMALKdTnI
64Please respect copyright.PENANA94UwXHsQEK
甫進門,精靈把肩扛的傭兵放至地板,人類少女便按捺不住地逼近尚且暈頭轉向的狗頭人,將對方推搡到最靠近入口的床邊,請求洛瑞斯遮掩亞提爾的眼睛,未等對方回應,下一秒,與平日相異的憤怒與激動立即破口而出。64Please respect copyright.PENANAXxhq2TjDTe
64Please respect copyright.PENANAYzxvlE9Hg2
「說!誰派你們來的?說!」她語調高昂地叫嚷,右手不斷重擊傭兵,毫不留情的巴掌接連落在狗頭人未被甲冑保護的臀部。64Please respect copyright.PENANAyIdtQr3beq
64Please respect copyright.PENANAi1DGjY16sO
「哇啊!啊!」狗頭人疼痛哀號,奮力扭動手腳卻仍是無法擺脫綑綁的繩索,「我、我才不講!我絕對不會講!」64Please respect copyright.PENANALGpRx12Dsg
64Please respect copyright.PENANAFx3U18r8wD
不雅觀的動作令總是端莊優雅的精靈一時之間難以反應,洛瑞斯猶豫地詢問亞提爾,「你會想繼續看下去嗎?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAsscKVLF2Xj
64Please respect copyright.PENANALx6medCTb4
「為何不能看?」少年滿臉疑惑,眨了眨眼睛,接著握住了聖徽準備向前協助,「喬希姊姊,這般懲處收效甚微,還是讓我來吧!」64Please respect copyright.PENANA8S2TJfVi7N
64Please respect copyright.PENANAfy4lgrHx0c
「洛、洛瑞斯先生,請、請、請你趕快遮住亞提爾的眼睛!」芙﹒喬希慌張又異常興奮地說道。64Please respect copyright.PENANAWBNehUBDqL
64Please respect copyright.PENANA3pGQPqILUg
正當亞提爾低喃咒語欲下達指示之際,洛瑞斯敏銳的視覺餘光瞥見芙﹒喬希探向俘虜腰部的手,沒有深思的餘裕,亦顧不得斟酌少年的意願,精靈按住亞提爾的肩膀,將他轉而面向自己,在人類少女做出更踰矩的行為之前,眼疾手快地掩住少年的耳朵,不讓多餘的聲音污染純真的心靈。64Please respect copyright.PENANAZvdclDuT4l
64Please respect copyright.PENANAeXskbYB6Ik
「我認為你還是不要繼續看比較妥當。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Iv8ny9EJ
64Please respect copyright.PENANAf4GA0y9gyu
亞提爾雙眼圓睜,既錯愕又茫然,「但是我可以用命令術讓他誠實交代內幕啊。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAOPHBnEW9LT
64Please respect copyright.PENANARXVbTr4Wnv
後方的芙﹒喬希儼然忘卻洛瑞斯與亞提爾的存在,沒有理會他們之間的勸說和辯駁,她脫下狗頭人的長褲,湊近對方因緊張而豎起的耳尖,壓低聲音威脅道,「你難道想要讓別人看見自己羞恥的模樣嗎?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAkGN8bZWTO7
64Please respect copyright.PENANAOBeokzGf8F
「我才不信妳能怎麼樣咧!我不怕妳!」但少女接下來的舉動令他全然愣住,魔力凝聚而成的半透明之手鑽進了不可言說的隱密部位,頓時,狗頭人尖銳的咆哮和驚喘毫無隱忍地充斥於密閉的臥房。64Please respect copyright.PENANAz5ulUjUTuW
64Please respect copyright.PENANARa744y6scu
「喬希姊姊到底在做什麼?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAUM45oZHNDF
64Please respect copyright.PENANAeva0021XYb
洛瑞斯的眉眼更加糾結,輕輕將少年移往遠離紛亂的方向,嚴實遮蔽亞提爾的視線,「沒事,現在進入拷問的環節了,相信他很快便會吐露實情。」64Please respect copyright.PENANA1umzNsaeYi
64Please respect copyright.PENANAU7UrWFbzBs
而事態發展正如精靈所言,緊接在劇烈的動盪聲響與連綿不絕的慘叫之後,狗頭人傭兵的求饒毫無懸念隨之而來,微弱的泣音斷斷續續地道出傭兵們入侵目的。64Please respect copyright.PENANAX76tuC7sHX
64Please respect copyright.PENANA0HRD4cJrLa
「我、我們是為了搜集寶藏⋯⋯我是為了龍巫教還有龍女士工作⋯⋯」64Please respect copyright.PENANAB9FCItoOLd
64Please respect copyright.PENANAAxVqUH8kaq
抽噎的嗓音竄入指縫間,半精靈少年捕捉到敏感的關鍵字,他趕緊掙開精靈的雙手,激動問道,「你果然是替龍巫教辦事!你們覬覦這座城鎮的什麼寶藏?來了多少人?」64Please respect copyright.PENANABmE04zKwbm
64Please respect copyright.PENANAZvqcNGYxAn
「我⋯⋯我不知道,我不知道其他人拿了什麼⋯⋯我只知道我都還沒有拿⋯⋯」狗頭人啜泣著,渾身癱軟地趴伏在床上,褲子被褪至膝蓋以下,露出刑求後的紅腫臀部,因劇痛而滴淌的汗水與疑似失禁的濁液浸濕了整條被褥。64Please respect copyright.PENANAXet3S9vpBp
64Please respect copyright.PENANAzcl028mbrt
「塔利斯在哪裡?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2CDIVpUmf
64Please respect copyright.PENANA8gz8tEbPF0
「什麼?妳⋯⋯妳說誰?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAM2YHnPsPs1
64Please respect copyright.PENANAcdK8C0xe0U
「塔利斯!塔、利、斯!」由心急而生的焦躁吞吃了所有委婉與禮節,少女擰住傭兵顫抖的尖耳,大聲複述友人的名字,與以往的怯懦形象判若兩人。64Please respect copyright.PENANAbXy87NTcMN
64Please respect copyright.PENANAVo23M2pPYF
「我、我不認識他啊⋯⋯他是一種寶藏嗎?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAGDRMjVAUGN
64Please respect copyright.PENANAX9RVoiwkGs
亞提爾奔至床邊,劍柄不由分說地擊向狗頭人的後腦,厭惡的冰冷眼神梭巡了一圈,扯住對方的衣襟將其甩到地板,難掩氣憤地喝斥,「不准裝傻!你們俘虜的人和搶奪的東西都被帶去何處?」64Please respect copyright.PENANArDIWKVps8u
64Please respect copyright.PENANAwXTuz0CCpS
「什、什麼?什麼被帶到哪裡去?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAAoA4MMlxOe
64Please respect copyright.PENANAklICMsATmH
「亞、亞提爾?這、這樣不好吧⋯⋯?我、我、不⋯⋯」沒有料到少年突然介入,芙﹒喬希訝異萬分,肢體慌亂地左右擺動,「洛、洛瑞斯先生!不、不能讓小朋友看到啦!」64Please respect copyright.PENANAGBrO5oqztH
64Please respect copyright.PENANAViuKMF4rwv
「區區刑求,有何不能看?」少年冷哼,斜睨著姿態凌亂的傭兵,「縱使拷打臀部十分不得體,我也是第一次見識,但的確有用,不是嗎?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAh0wqiOF7oy
64Please respect copyright.PENANAs5ay3sUt3r
洛瑞斯欲言又止,附和亞提爾的同時,不著痕跡地將沒有意會真相的少年帶離滿是髒污的床榻,失控的人類少女不由自主僵直身軀,害臊的紅暈後知後覺地爬上雙頰,仿若如夢初醒,遲來的羞恥心喚回了方才停擺的理智,使得她再也無法順利組織言語,愧疚地遮住臉龐躲藏到牆角。64Please respect copyright.PENANAcGlQaKTQjj
64Please respect copyright.PENANAVc2zjddsIZ
如果此處有洞窟的話,或許她已然隱匿其內再也不見任何人。64Please respect copyright.PENANAekeh4WS8L2
64Please respect copyright.PENANAleGIydQynS
「洛瑞斯先生,你、你、你來問啦!」64Please respect copyright.PENANAn2FO5ygNjV
64Please respect copyright.PENANAiZqP99fx6N
「⋯⋯好的。」精靈嘆口氣,重複了亞提爾質問的問題,「龍巫教掠奪的財寶和人質會被帶往何處?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAXtI8pUfqPh
64Please respect copyright.PENANAY6WfzXgtFO
「我、我不知道⋯⋯都是上交給大人們,我只是按照大人們說的去做⋯⋯我不知道最後會到哪裡去⋯⋯我只知道他們要亮晶晶的東西⋯⋯」64Please respect copyright.PENANAz79rtVdHBX
64Please respect copyright.PENANA9DfbkIflnd
「那你要上交給誰?」亞提爾追問。64Please respect copyright.PENANAUG5XPxrf8O
64Please respect copyright.PENANA6HH4TkHdjG
「我、我應該是給青怒大人⋯⋯或、或是瑞茲米爾女士⋯⋯或、或是弗魯蘭大人⋯⋯」狗頭人顫巍巍地囁嚅,將頭埋進蜷曲的膝蓋中。64Please respect copyright.PENANAvbnGywMJy0
64Please respect copyright.PENANAoqCj2edBCZ
「他們面貌如何,有什麼特徵?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAN2BNaWvAx2
64Please respect copyright.PENANAnsffEMJnqf
「青、青怒大人是、是藍龍的龍裔⋯⋯龍女士瑞茲米爾是黑龍、黑龍的龍裔⋯⋯弗魯蘭大人是人類⋯⋯」他一一供認長官們的身分,並且道出了他們的共同點——無一例外地,三人的衣衫顏色皆為紫色。64Please respect copyright.PENANAD4sMoFdsMq
64Please respect copyright.PENANARaWo6ME3NQ
亞提爾憶起被困龍巫教的日子,那些看似位居高層的隊長確實穿戴紫色的鎧甲,他垂下眼簾,牢牢記下敵人們的名字,轉身呼喚窩在角落的人類少女,「喬希姊姊,妳還有其它想要知道的資訊嗎?」64Please respect copyright.PENANASs0w4AVrnX
64Please respect copyright.PENANA8xvrm3o6SY
芙﹒喬希摀住面容,不斷搖頭,「洛瑞斯先生⋯⋯你管好亞提爾啦⋯⋯你看看他⋯⋯」語焉不詳的虛弱尾音消失於緊抿的唇邊,或挫折、或懊悔,多種複雜的心緒相互交織,令她險些淚灑原地。64Please respect copyright.PENANAy81lhAmLxj
64Please respect copyright.PENANAD2WBAhbUy0
「嗯⋯⋯沒事的,妳也是在拷問,我能理解每個人的手段不一樣。」洛瑞斯溫柔地微笑,即使笑容略顯勉強與苦澀,但仍是盡力安撫對方。64Please respect copyright.PENANA6xZnlWBYFK
64Please respect copyright.PENANAIsNqdOLvNr
「喬希姊姊為何要難過?妳的拷問方式非常有效啊?」亞提爾不解。64Please respect copyright.PENANAncIo46MvAN
64Please respect copyright.PENANAjwKBnyOmat
「是很有用⋯⋯不過亞提爾你可以考慮使用⋯⋯別種方法。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAHOBNXnPskA
64Please respect copyright.PENANActiqUynrSj
少年雙手叉腰,嫌棄地看著渾身水漬的傭兵,「我當然不會隨意碰觸別人的臀部,成何體統!洛瑞斯哥哥,還是趕快把他清理乾淨吧,至少幫他穿回褲子,我不想看見不該看的東西。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2MsDfc9xp
64Please respect copyright.PENANAodq5WcKeas
說完,亞提爾繞過床架,推門而出,正好碰見同樣審問完畢的道格拉澤。64Please respect copyright.PENANA3nNubRudzz
64Please respect copyright.PENANAaBuuficNQQ
「道格拉澤先生,鎮上有可供使用的監牢嗎?」64Please respect copyright.PENANA1yyiWQY5vW
64Please respect copyright.PENANAkhEfuR29kI
青年思索片刻,以不甚肯定的口吻答道,「是有的,但缺乏多餘的人力看守犯人,至綠鎮很少發生這種事,平時遇到外敵都只是驅逐⋯⋯可能得和鎮長打聽,據我的印象,監獄已經很久沒有啟用了。」64Please respect copyright.PENANA9yamsU5i8r
64Please respect copyright.PENANAieOG2NYo5D
「你們認為這些傭兵該如何處置呢?」少年看向應聲開啟的門扉,以及阿爾德拽著最後一名狗頭人前來會合的身影,「我父親說過,戰場迎敵不能手下留情,但捉捕的戰俘也不能隨意殺伐。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAUVvQTgBtqg
64Please respect copyright.PENANAoicmlIhdZT
「這倒是沒問題,我已經和這傢伙商量好了。」道格拉澤蹲下身姿,替自己負責審訊的狗頭人鬆綁繩子,「如果他的兄弟都願意像他一樣聽從我們,就讓他們來擔當我們的打手,用勞力來償還支付;我也會幫他們隱瞞洩密的事情,畢竟他們很在乎長官的評價。」64Please respect copyright.PENANA0T3MuLWQPX
64Please respect copyright.PENANAQFWgWEEvwe
亞提爾點點頭,回首注視重新穿著整齊的傭兵,「你的同伴投降歸順了,那你呢?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAFLeaH0pYj1
64Please respect copyright.PENANAf1H6ZEumhx
「應該⋯⋯不會再發生剛剛那種事吧?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAeRW1UnlL3a
64Please respect copyright.PENANA0kzkrIO7Q7
「不、不、不會的!誤、誤會大了⋯⋯剛、剛剛⋯⋯對、對、對不起!」芙﹒喬希連聲道歉,手忙腳亂地不知該如何是好。64Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5ObElU2bX
64Please respect copyright.PENANA90MCeQywsE
「倘若答應的話,便保證不再發生,如何?」洛瑞斯說道,灰色的眼瞳閃過狠戾的精光,夾帶的脅迫之意令狗頭人不禁一陣哆嗦,不敢多說一句話,隨即應允了交換條件。64Please respect copyright.PENANA9xTTDBUOh6
64Please respect copyright.PENANAosvnkPKakg
「好,既然如此,那你報出自己的名字吧。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAs0eMnUweUj
64Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6dpIK7ltz
「我、我叫饅頭⋯⋯」64Please respect copyright.PENANAzcqTeqMc99
64Please respect copyright.PENANAsrm3q1NHW8
亞提爾挑高眉毛,面露疑惑的神情,「怎會有如此奇怪的名字⋯⋯那、那就這麼稱呼你?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAYCkBZsbn8U
64Please respect copyright.PENANApQ7szNyJYP
「但是我不喜歡饅頭⋯⋯」64Please respect copyright.PENANAzyIpyGfivx
64Please respect copyright.PENANAVlEI17Y66j
「不然叫你包子吧。」阿爾德隨口提議,卻沒想到對方歡喜地接受了這個胡亂命名的暱稱。他嗤笑一聲,搖晃著手中拎起的狗頭人,「雖然我主張殺掉啦,不過如果你們有別的做法也是可以。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAPhl8CJ5VOK
64Please respect copyright.PENANAZNyyfIopVC
「你們覺得呢?」道格拉澤掏出小刀,於狗頭人面前佯裝滅口的手勢,「光頭,這一隻和你們交情好嗎?」64Please respect copyright.PENANAp9ogP0TS2V
64Please respect copyright.PENANASOAmQEr9z2
被稱作光頭的傭兵與包子卑微地貼在牆邊,兩人彼此互看,異口同聲回答,「沒有,沒有人喜歡和他一起洗澡,他很臭。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAPeGnD6U7L7
64Please respect copyright.PENANAfQAGJqGI7R
「不、不要殺我!我會聽話的!」第三名狗頭人頻頻哀求,畏懼地盯著即將靠近自己的利刃,「我、我可以天天洗澡!給我香皂,我會變香的!」64Please respect copyright.PENANA8wAgxwlxdS
64Please respect copyright.PENANAuoge8dHczO
最終,敵不過各種威逼利誘,狗頭人紛紛順從地搖尾乞憐,甚至挺直背脊、乖巧整齊地排列於道格拉澤身側,隨時等候接收指令;同時,三人也擁有了新的稱謂——光頭、包子和香皂。64Please respect copyright.PENANAjWXKE9xt3i
64Please respect copyright.PENANAk84Gnht3Kv
「讓他們趕快帶我們去找領頭的將士吧!包⋯⋯包子提到了三個名字。」見眼前之事告一段落,亞提爾催促道,儘管過程與細節有些古怪,以日常所見的食物或物品叫喚他人亦讓他深覺彆扭,不過少年決定暫且忽視,以大局為重。64Please respect copyright.PENANAaSmRE9m581
64Please respect copyright.PENANAJRMqIo2CNe
「我也聽到了三個領頭的人,青怒、瑞茲米爾,還有弗魯蘭﹒蒙達斯,讓他們帶領也比較好尋找,畢竟他們知道那些人的長相。」道格拉澤表示認同,而後又猶疑地朝窗外遙望南方的建物,垂落的眉宇染上擔憂與焦慮,「但我很在意裳提亞神殿的情況,至綠鎮的鎮民聚集到那裡避難,我想知道他們的現況。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAnjNwCQZ98z
64Please respect copyright.PENANAvCU3urMuQL
「卡、卡司先生也說要過去對不對?我、我們應該要先護送他們吧⋯⋯?」芙﹒喬希悄聲問道。64Please respect copyright.PENANACVP3cXmLif
64Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ8E2WQ4k1
「是的,卡司和他的妻子利南都是虔誠教徒,所以我認為他們會需要去神殿,而且那裡有牢固的鐵門保護,更加安全。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAw4z27Y2k3E
64Please respect copyright.PENANA0nY5LYcsrN
「的確,是我疏忽了⋯⋯」亞提爾自我反省,強迫自己壓下內心因龍巫教而滋生蔓延的躁動,「我不該過於急躁,鎮民的安危才是首要之務,倘若裳提亞神殿有需要救助的人,我們便應當盡早過去幫忙。」64Please respect copyright.PENANAvvElGFBC41
64Please respect copyright.PENANAUkr05HeR57
「沒事的,你們願意伸出援手,我們已經非常感激了。」青年寬慰地拍了拍少年的頭頂,給予肯定的鼓勵,「那麼,大家避開敵人,小心前進吧。」64Please respect copyright.PENANANAK3TrQfnG
