〈阿卡基利王城 ——— 王座謁見廳〉33Please respect copyright.PENANAem1WjgvYHn
33Please respect copyright.PENANAva8dUiTIDf
「報告!陛下!安東尼•威特騎士團團長,麥浩倫•維金騎士團副團長求見!」33Please respect copyright.PENANALIKlV2ZYO2
一位年輕的守衛打開謁見廳的大門。左手持拳按着胸口,單膝跪下大聲報告。33Please respect copyright.PENANAn5njmSpZHO
「嗯…帶他們進來吧!」33Please respect copyright.PENANA7WdFum0ksP
「是!」33Please respect copyright.PENANAKy5Vzx6gfO
回應守衛的人,是一個頭髮、鬍子都有些花白的男性——他就是阿卡基利共和國的國王史賓加•阿卡基利十四世。33Please respect copyright.PENANAb6LfSE3QAA
守衛離開了謁見廳,咔喀一聲關上了厚實的大門。33Please respect copyright.PENANApdSkHHUT1g
這裡是阿卡基利共和國的首都,同時亦是共和國的王都。33Please respect copyright.PENANAFigQ5zstXM
阿卡基利共和國的心臟地帶——基利爾王都。33Please respect copyright.PENANAqAenOBN81o
基利爾王都大致可以分五個區域,33Please respect copyright.PENANAwk5rDvQcJn
分別是王城區、貴族區、商業區、生產區及學院區。33Please respect copyright.PENANAD8MoHITFl7
以王城為中心畫圓,包圍王城的是貴族區,貴族區外圍再畫一個大圓,33Please respect copyright.PENANAvd79u1lLQu
然後以貫穿整個基利爾王都的東—南—西—北四條大街,33Please respect copyright.PENANAWuQtdTkE9s
細分為四個區域。就是平民區、商業區、生產區及學院區。33Please respect copyright.PENANAFNNiK9H5d6
越靠近王城的區域越見繁榮,越外圍的地方就顯得越樸素。33Please respect copyright.PENANAFijrmsNAB6
33Please respect copyright.PENANA5tvvaGS2TB
33Please respect copyright.PENANAiyCdwS62eq
咿哎哎哎哎…伴隨厚重木門打開啲聲音,請求會面史賓加國王的二人到達了。33Please respect copyright.PENANA7QMLmFx4GN
「陛下!」安東尼跟麥浩倫二人做出剛才守衛一模一樣的姿勢,這是阿卡基利共和國標準的行禮動作。33Please respect copyright.PENANAwkwNF2sZWV
「請起,安東尼,我已事先收到你派人的通報,但你可否詳細說明一下?」33Please respect copyright.PENANAmN9lzDXXWc
「是!」安東尼出於職務的關係,頗為經常跟國王見面。33Please respect copyright.PENANAT7F1GijuPn
但是麥浩倫就不一樣了,他緊張得手心都是汗,完全濕透了。33Please respect copyright.PENANACxLPL8vSpw
麥浩倫是一個體格良好的青年,茶色的頭髮後留有一條馬尾,33Please respect copyright.PENANAcoaiVRjEB2
麥浩倫本來是個長相俊美的青年,可是在臉上的一大條疤痕使得麥浩倫在氛圍上看上去極為凶惡。33Please respect copyright.PENANA7cyjPROTpG
麥浩倫是第一次踏入這個王座謁見廳,他和安東尼行禮後站起來,33Please respect copyright.PENANA9d4JybuhRm
稍稍地轉動眼珠觀察四周,首先映入眼簾的是有巨大的有如要將整個牆壁都蓋過去的阿卡基利共和國的國旗。33Please respect copyright.PENANAGjfBqsbVys
國旗以黃色為基調,中間的紋章以土啡色線繡成,以三叉戟和麥穗組成紋章,33Please respect copyright.PENANAOoFMTzVLnk
像徵着阿卡基利共和國以農民和農作物作為支撐國家經濟以及國家的核心。33Please respect copyright.PENANArPEGCUcJLE
33Please respect copyright.PENANAnlkWTWJ859
33Please respect copyright.PENANArEIj41mbtX
沿着高掛的國旗往下望,就是這空間裡裝飾得最豪華的地方——王座。33Please respect copyright.PENANA4P7aAJynUL
王座呈現米白色的珍珠質感,微微反射着耀眼的光芒。33Please respect copyright.PENANAq5rquSMui8
王座大約三米寬五米高,背靠以及與椅角兩邊都雕刻有栩栩如生的獅子頭及圖案。33Please respect copyright.PENANAc5efPk0xJ6
王座兩條扶手,上面同樣以獅子為原型,同樣雕刻得美輪美奐。整個謁見廳大約有五十平方米的大小,高約十米。33Please respect copyright.PENANACQfcqdW0Dp
以王座為起點,一條紅地毯以金線繡上代表阿卡基利共和國的國徽並在其中繡有多段花紋裝飾並舖至門外,就只是這個地毯就足以顯侈華,33Please respect copyright.PENANA4clstiKQBn
地毯兩旁站滿了持劍的守衛並一排排列到大門前。33Please respect copyright.PENANAUvnrlw9Zv2
士兵手持長劍,高舉放在胸前,另一手則托着劍柄底部,劍刃向外,場面十分威嚴。33Please respect copyright.PENANASeH4j9RSs0
此時,某個站在王座旁的男人插嘴道,33Please respect copyright.PENANA6j2JpbfIwQ
「陛下,我未曾聽說過有任何重要的通報,可以請陛下解釋一下嗎?」33Please respect copyright.PENANAIottKl6DWN
「別急查利,安東尼會為你說明的。」33Please respect copyright.PENANApMnst0Hn3r
這個男人名為查利•卡克萊,年約四十多歲,33Please respect copyright.PENANAy15jrhVRYI
外型最大特徵就是嘴上留著的兩撇山羊鬍和身形瘦削得令人懷疑他是不是營養不良的身軀。33Please respect copyright.PENANA0BePZQ0XrF
他是共和國的宰相,同時是共和國王政議會內貴族派勢力的代表者。為國內兩大勢力派系之一。33Please respect copyright.PENANABNaGggfzYE
另一派則是以史賓加國王為首的國王派。33Please respect copyright.PENANAsf7PpxVBFm
查利用狠狠的目光瞪了安東尼一眼,安東尼處之泰然承受了他的視線。33Please respect copyright.PENANAwARZNFu0ib
「是,陛下,三天前,我帶領着騎士團在國境線進行對入侵國防實戰訓練——」33Please respect copyright.PENANABHNCf6SPH7
33Please respect copyright.PENANAwPg9so99mf
33Please respect copyright.PENANALPgS7axsgO
「演習進行到深夜對夜襲反應時,看見國邊境線附近9卡卡萊西村方向發生大火,33Please respect copyright.PENANAXXNocKPFCC
火勢大到足以在十幾公里外也能目視。33Please respect copyright.PENANA41Rdu5hqFn
於是我立即帶領騎士團趕去,打算協助救災。33Please respect copyright.PENANA2FfjWSY0KR
可是…當我們一行人到達時,33Please respect copyright.PENANApeq6wPbH6e
呈現在我們眼前的可是一個活地獄般的模樣…整個卡卡萊西村遍地是屍體…」33Please respect copyright.PENANANeGK1bMN7U
33Please respect copyright.PENANAK5lgzqdX3w
安東尼停頓了一下繼續說,33Please respect copyright.PENANAEtZKqqbBck
33Please respect copyright.PENANAXilrJ2jHG1
「根據部下點算,發現了大約三百具屍體,全部都是男性。」33Please respect copyright.PENANAggoA0wQMxS
「全部都是男性?」查利大公對此表示愕然。33Please respect copyright.PENANAVBr0CCihhB
「是的,沒有女性屍體,推斷…全部被擄走了…33Please respect copyright.PENANA3031o6t7x4
然後,我們在卡卡萊西村裡發現到希比拉•恭帝國的旗幟及帝國士兵的佩劍…33Please respect copyright.PENANAQVrzq9yukA
更留下大約十臺馬車通往帝國方向的車輒痕…」33Please respect copyright.PENANAMNhUqcs8IT
33Please respect copyright.PENANACCeRhTQBJW
「安東尼,你有甚麼想法?」史賓加國王打算直接問安東尼對事件的看法。33Please respect copyright.PENANAjfgVOWd4L4
「我認為是帝國打算擴大版圖,以這種如同強盜一樣的做法來挑起戰火。33Please respect copyright.PENANAyjYapmxBnu
只要我國出兵便有藉口以防衛國家出兵入侵我國。33Please respect copyright.PENANAs2rpuLrcOx
但如果我國不出兵的話,就這樣不斷侵襲我國邊境,33Please respect copyright.PENANAkN8hFe7vw3
削弱我國國力,最後伺機攻打已經虛弱了的我國!!」33Please respect copyright.PENANAofpiQ6d04n
33Please respect copyright.PENANATF5cIhSblj
「……冷靜點,安東尼。」33Please respect copyright.PENANAng5yunXlZU
33Please respect copyright.PENANAReTiIqWGq3
史賓加國王望着眼前的這個肌肉男肌肉開始膨脹起來時制止了他。33Please respect copyright.PENANASP8STyHNNo
33Please respect copyright.PENANAtEtK0y35rS
「是,抱歉…我…激動了…」33Please respect copyright.PENANA3yHGAuHiFV
「不要緊,但是安東尼你不覺得所有的證據都太過明顯而又刻意將矛頭指向帝國嗎?」33Please respect copyright.PENANA4LdLz0gU97
「咦..?陛下所言的意思是...」33Please respect copyright.PENANA8TQrL7uuCr
33Please respect copyright.PENANAe1fulsc9nE
此時,查利公爵插入了兩人的對話33Please respect copyright.PENANA7sHguROeO1
33Please respect copyright.PENANAYHptQpwBB5
「說的也是呢...陛下…太過明顯了…33Please respect copyright.PENANAvmhPTdBdWh
明顯得令人會覺得有詐的程度。33Please respect copyright.PENANAbA1VOybdby
安東尼,你說過對方將所有的女性擄走了吧…33Please respect copyright.PENANAvC8sxbMtWk
他們有時間慢慢將女性帶上馬車運走,33Please respect copyright.PENANAafuFNqxJgt
可是卻留下如此多的證據,不覺得有點奇怪嗎?33Please respect copyright.PENANAfZ36eTxL5S
明明只要將這些痕跡清除了,讓我們不能追尋兇手的下落,33Please respect copyright.PENANAhj0ChwlIY4
對『行兇者』不是更有利嗎?33Please respect copyright.PENANA4BRnj3mMPn
既不會有麻煩事找上門,亦不用背負任何風險,這樣不是更好嗎?」33Please respect copyright.PENANAp9XOWRFtCU
33Please respect copyright.PENANADHlm91TaFT
33Please respect copyright.PENANAd5gENU9wVV
「啊…」安東尼到這個時候才恍然大悟,當場呆着。33Please respect copyright.PENANAhWgqqVL1mT
「那麼,陛下…你認為是哪個勢力做的?」查利公爵向史賓加國王發問。33Please respect copyright.PENANA5ofeQqQL6a
「唔......」史賓加國王陷入了沉思中,片刻後,33Please respect copyright.PENANA3VAxnZdz1U
「無法推斷兇手是誰呢...情報過分地少,33Please respect copyright.PENANA4cqAyEp8yH
無法分析對方這樣做的意圖…而且更莫講判別到底是哪一勢力…33Please respect copyright.PENANAbYXYq5XBXo
但是…至少可以知道對方是希望透過今次的事件,造成我們與帝國之間的矛盾。33Please respect copyright.PENANA9ggoBRdJgC
對方或者可以在今天事件上得益或者不能,得益可以是直接亦可以是間接。33Please respect copyright.PENANAavfTtJbGvw
以我們與帝國交戰後的最大利益者…唔…從種族上考慮的話,會是獸人吧。33Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4C6Sm6xdw
但是...獸人的習性不會做這麼間接而又繁瑣的事,那麼…」33Please respect copyright.PENANAMp8ogilLl7
33Please respect copyright.PENANAp0hHVGEUpu
「是人類吧?」查利公爵回問33Please respect copyright.PENANAGbriYHNJQ0
33Please respect copyright.PENANA7RB2xmHS3V
「嗯…經過剔除法之後,只剩下哈多瑪王國與艾多卡尼亞神聖國吧…」33Please respect copyright.PENANA2i5qvUY9Cn
「啊…是那個一直提倡人類至上主義的那個古老國家嗎…?」查利公爵對聖王國貌似有自己的一番見解。33Please respect copyright.PENANAsF5U1TXnQP
33Please respect copyright.PENANAZOGv5tK7EX
「是…那個提倡人類純血純種的宗教國嗎…?33Please respect copyright.PENANA2wQKsILUYT
但,但是我們同樣是人類,為甚麼那個人類最古老國家要那樣做?」安東尼對二人的推斷感到疑惑。33Please respect copyright.PENANA4LpPWhg3hD
33Please respect copyright.PENANAWz6eI8wWkf
「唉…安東尼…看來你平時要多鍛鍊的不是你的身體,而是你的頭腦…」33Please respect copyright.PENANAgYNh5kXwM8
「欸…?」33Please respect copyright.PENANAyBpotXHWUM
「公爵,你說明給他聽罷…」33Please respect copyright.PENANAoM3gRj18dX
查利公爵對此感到無奈。33Please respect copyright.PENANAD7LWiiw7jB
麥浩倫副官也為他上司的表現感到悲哀而偷偷在心中嘆氣。33Please respect copyright.PENANAuGRSan3HW6
33Please respect copyright.PENANAoluOF5Uwrh
「安東尼…你知道我國自從上次跟帝國停戰後,33Please respect copyright.PENANAIdQGbWjXYc
近年開始與南獸人國,即夏尼亞獸人地區有貿易來往吧…?」33Please respect copyright.PENANAc7N4BK5wuh
33Please respect copyright.PENANAhHRUe90Rgb
「嗯…我知道。但是…那…又跟這件事有甚麼關係呢…?」33Please respect copyright.PENANAbpscc1iVjf
33Please respect copyright.PENANAQYq26gYFYN
「唉......那是因為聖王國的國教———『大賢神教』」33Please respect copyright.PENANAMW6UOuEOKy
33Please respect copyright.PENANAkSNBgZGd67
