烏爾莉卡卡剛抵達阿爾及爾後的第一個想法，同時也是最強烈的想法：66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezLpQlFWzS
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatm3pt1AhC
「好熱！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf8oYlNsT2
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym606lEJ0h
與長年處於寒冬或涼爽氣溫的家鄉不一樣，這個地方熱得叫人感到不可思議，幾乎要讓人懷疑掛在頭頂上的是不是同一顆太陽。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDK3qjS3kw
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCnzWUaDx1
明明已經邁入九月了(烏爾莉卡自己大略計算的)，氣溫依然超過三十多度(這也是烏爾莉卡自己猜的)。即使是身處於海港碼頭，她卻絲毫感受不到半點涼涼的海風。刺眼的陽光毒辣得讓她無力招架，讓人不知該如何渡過接下來的日子。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjd2snP3QX
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKrNVoH90j
當烏爾莉卡和其他俘虜被趕上岸的時候，現場馬上被一大堆興致勃勃的群眾包圍住。他們人數之多，就連她也數清圍觀者的人數。由於太陽帶來的炙熱，這裡的男人和女人(包括野獸人)幾乎都穿得很少。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFj6EzKFsN
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Iff1cnmTK
群眾裡頭有野獸人，也有人類，但並不是為了對俘虜表達輕視或同情而來，單純是出於純粹的好奇心，就像是欣賞稀有動物一樣。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6I77K1BWQd
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMBsT0CzXw
「這些人類的皮膚好白喔。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1rHHBl84X
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm87M4sHMW
「是啊，比其他地區的人類更白！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmSmylvdR7
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmLHHrvEqQ
「就連髮色也幾乎都是淡淡的耶......啊，那邊有個銀頭髮的女人！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y4Jt4nwOd
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc1uMKz4Kt
「她旁邊還有個銀髮的小女孩嘞，想必是她的女兒吧？」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQoyLG0Qo1
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIRLy8ACTA
「如果能把這對母女買下作為小妾，鐵定能好好享受一番。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6h3GUlkfJ
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOf018k11g
「你少做夢啦！這種一看就知道是極為珍貴的商品。假如沒被船長或咱們市長給挑掉，到時候在奴隸市場上一定賣得超貴。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkU5Xf3LBH
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq206iGTrcJ
烏爾莉卡聽見周遭傳來各種各樣的談笑聲，她雖然聽不懂但也曉得不是什麼令人愉快的話題。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESLpQMcE7D
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVblzzPpOqg
「母親......我好害怕.....」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd4wAHtrPp
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPMBKrSvBR
烏爾莉卡感覺到莎薇靠在自己身邊，因此她回握住女兒的小手。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzxiezRwrN
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaUGOjDRHf
「我絕對不會放開妳的。」烏爾莉卡安撫著女兒。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE105aAhIc
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrH4egnvP1
她的視線越過黑壓壓的人群，城市的容貌隨即映入眼簾。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTB2CObcZr
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrishO9qPP8
它是由石灰岩石堆起的白色城市，沿著山坡建造成而。它在靠近山頂的上端非常狹窄，越靠近海邊的區域則非常長、非常寬。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7kVv74ioD
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQSPV3DaVr
然而，這座外表呈純白色的城市，帶給烏爾莉卡的卻是充滿黑暗的未來。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao1tCn085f
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM8M1s3zXq
「這就是我未來居住的地方嗎？」她喃喃自語：「還是說，我會被賣到更內陸的地方，永遠也見不到大海呢？連隔海眺望自己故鄉這件事都做不到......」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAYFG5tmqm
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAshoRkGvH
正當她心亂如麻之際，隊伍前方忽然傳來不小的騷動，另外還有海盜喝斥俘虜的聲音。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo59HVKWfm
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2154UG7aP
有別於剛才的炎熱，一股冰冷的寒意爬上烏爾莉卡的背脊，又像是心臟被一隻冰冷的手給握住……不祥的預感，迅速地在她的心頭內擴散開來。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDxafmSePs
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB1iW6dfP8
「所有男人往這邊走，女人則到那一邊去！小孩也是，把小孩從父母身邊拉開來全部送去別地方！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGevPlFh0X
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgVWCAGsjq
果不其然，她驚覺到海盜正在將他們捕獲來的戰利品分門別類：男人、女人，以及超過五歲的孩童全都各自分為一個隊伍；父母與孩子硬生生地被拆散開來。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mPE7aVnM2
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Xdzu1zRa
「母親！母親！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2FuLLmWlW
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERZFMtISAK
突然間，一名人類海盜硬是把莎薇從烏爾莉卡手中拉開。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcosNMcdna
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8ErJmceEV
「你做什麼？快放手！」烏爾莉卡想都沒想就衝上前，當場拍開對方的手臂。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdjNBTnifW
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PF7FoNW47
「誰都別想碰我女兒。」她低吼道。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoLPXaOMOv
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLUxg9ObbZ
「臭女人，妳找死啊！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hQXGTaMlX
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVM2pGkODI
這名人類海盜朝著烏爾莉卡的臉頰揮出一巴掌——那是毫無創意、毫無技巧的一擊。他大概以為烏爾莉卡會樣過去他遇過的女人一樣，站在原地呆呆地驚恐尖叫，然後被他打得中昏過去，或許再補給腳以防外一。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybR97xARRV
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18B2AjarSF
他錯了。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9konuNNPw
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv0mqwVtku
更精準地說，烏爾莉卡確實是個女性，這一點無庸置疑。但是，她卻沒有像小女生般大哭、尖叫，呼天搶地——不，她只是輕輕的、輕描淡寫地側身躲開了空洞的攻勢。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY1mHZFVUv
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1edAEeEYT
下一秒，烏爾莉卡回以對方一記正拳，拳頭狠狠砸在人類海盜的正臉，當場把他的鼻梁給打歪。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH89lewJwNm
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjRVzpa3xF
當他飛出去與人群撞在一起的同時，從鼻孔飛濺出的鼻血好像還在空中化成一道弧形噴泉，結果現場圍觀的觀眾全都開心鼓掌叫好，歡呼聲熱烈得讓人以為在看什麼好戲。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZxx9PzdN4
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFhe9IoT1b
不論身在何處，人們似乎總是喜歡看熱鬧；這是烏爾莉卡的心得。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5QJReHpwm
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl5s4mbPcb
「這婆娘發瘋了嗎？」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5TgZUKzax
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VW1vPB3KH
「快點找人制住她！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50Jfd2KQGG
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ4FwgHDSg
「等一等，為什麼這女人這麼厲害嗚啊啊啊啊啊啊噗嗚！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3Y2LA18zI
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YkPoyBpko
一連幾個人類海盜撲上前，但卻被烏爾莉卡接連擺平，不是被擊倒在地上，要不然就是被丟到碼頭下方的海水之中。見到這幅景象，其他俘虜都也紛紛哭喊起來並抱住自己的親朋好友。人類海盜和其他野獸人彎下身子，試著把抱成一團的人類俘虜們拉開，粗暴地抓著他們們的肩膀和手臂。但他們仍緊抱著彼此，彷彿已合為一體。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmnVcclpci
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHRwfg7jl8
現場頓時陷入一片混亂。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4dnzcviaQ
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlW4jpr90O
「我絕不會讓你們這群人渣帶走我女兒，絕對不會——咳！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXZXygMjJ2
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcQc5fDlYT
猛地，烏爾莉卡感受背部傳來一記重擊，整個人摔倒在地上。她同時被好幾雙毛茸茸的巨大手掌給壓制住，身子完全動彈不得。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKQ8gzYIjN
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0GLRHyLWg
「野獸、可恨的野獸人......」即便烏爾莉卡的技巧再怎麼高明，面對天生的體型差距仍毫無招架之力。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMQLSTKMA0
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DxWGeZ5xk
這時負責管理秩序的守衛也抵達現場。他們手持短棍等器具，猛打俘虜們的肩膀或手背，痛得俘虜不得不鬆手。父母、孩子與親友們再度被連拖帶拉回自己的隊伍，不論怎麼尖叫哭鬧都沒有半點用處，甚至可能換來更嚴厲的毒打。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8PKs8oOz0
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX8uL3TqqH
「母親，妳還好吧！」莎薇試著爬到母親身邊。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EDljJJtmA
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7LxjVhsYP
「該死的母女倆害我破相，找死啊妳們！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BDk7Mvqar
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwbPvrNtHA
烏爾莉卡抬起頭，赫然看見剛才毆打的那名人類海盜走了過來。他舉起粗壯的木製短棍，準備朝女兒嬌小的身軀狠砸下去。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqb37ShKx6
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqpwmtnZpm
「小心，莎薇！放開我！快點放開我！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrYuhXz5DJ
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qoLQJmkEe
烏爾莉只能無助地望著棍棒落下。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoahFJPFGX1
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8O4HkteIi
忽然間， 一抹身影及時護住莎薇的身體，替她擋下這一擊。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYCEcmGyzi
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBnE1LBoRa
「艾......艾塔奇！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbdQi5MmTU
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvASFYNn9p
就連烏爾莉卡都不由得喊出對方的名字。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuY0VCw9A9
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dQKdwTh8p
「拜託不要反抗，烏爾莉卡夫人。」艾塔奇壓低身子，用沙啞的聲音對烏爾莉卡說道：「莎薇不會有事，我保證嗚嗯！我保證她不會有——嗚呃！咳啊！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs1ngQPeqa
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpykgoA5ydU
只見人類海盜不停用棍棒猛打艾塔奇的背部，一下、兩下、三下，四下，每次都使勁全力。但是這名鬣狗少年卻絲毫沒有移動的打算，捲曲身子的他抱緊著莎薇，避免銀髮小女孩遭受毒打。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz08jfXS7gh
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujotme3NDc
「夠了！我說夠了！你是想打死自己人不成？」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhIeSJcWOF
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxBAxQI6QQ
此時一名野獸人守衛走來，輕易將人類海盜手中的棒子奪走。接著他踢開彷彿已經失去意識，毫無反應的艾塔奇，並叫其他人把莎薇抓入屬於小孩子的隊伍中。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnLh0mEtR4
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPixUrBrOBR
「快點把這群新來的俘虜押去監獄關起來，礙事得要命。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoviS19W9r
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnU52SBNH9
「莎薇！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBax5AIKM0o
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA9ubSRjAm
烏爾莉卡朝著莎薇被帶走的身影伸出的手，手指像要抓住空氣似的彎曲，卻又像被無形的牆壁給擋住似地無法移動。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4T2hhWITL
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO2GKFD0R4
「不要走！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l8YsTa9AQ
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTVoyoeeGv
她的脈搏加速，胸口呼吸的起伏越來越大，幾乎快讓他喘不過氣來。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Rj6AILmPh
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvPaRINMgC
「拜託別帶走她！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHzDPoTwwk
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb0j0VZEeh
平時總是表現得自信十足，堅強無比，但此刻烏爾莉卡卻流下淚水。她不自覺地握緊拳頭，感受到指甲崁入肌膚裡的疼痛；那和心中的痛楚相比較起來根本不算什麼。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyMefLsimL
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTgtcVjyGr
宛如掉入深淵般的絕望感，在這瞬間將她的內心給吞噬掉。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyt7EmodWl

無論白天或黑夜，奴隸監獄都是個悲慘的地方。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRGRE8EGP0
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfT4FzSBt2
在狹小、潮濕牢房的骯髒環境中，數百名俘虜擠在自己的牢房內。即使入夜了，天氣依舊悶熱無比。許多與烏爾莉卡一樣來自北方的俘虜，全都因不同於家鄉的炎熱溫度而衰弱憔悴、幾近奄奄一息。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctfX5X7Smo
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFumdHOABUL
由於烏爾莉卡早先引起的騷動，她被關押在一個空間極小的單人牢房中。她沒辦法躺下，她只能蹲靠在角落，雙手抱著膝蓋、頭埋進雙腿間，像是回到了人類最原始的狀態，想要尋找安全感，可惜她卻無法找到一絲慰藉。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK4SlWawBF
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51nor8ZCmT
「莎薇......」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlmi1VKNaz

「夫人......烏爾莉卡夫人，妳還醒著嗎？」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv53YHK9WN

烏爾莉卡微微抬起目光，正好看見鬣狗少年一拐一拐走向她。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktAUCIajpq
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qieQb9bX5
「你......艾塔奇，你怎麼會出現在這？」烏爾莉卡問。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeLr8zKowX
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3L9waBiNh
「這裡本來就不是什麼戒備森嚴的地方。另外，我也有自己的管道啦。別看我在船上只是個打雜工，其實我小有人脈痛痛痛......好痛啊......」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROTFKwPmak
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCfFKmEgEe
當艾塔奇試著盤腿坐下時，他的身體似乎疼痛不已，就連耳朵和尾巴上的毛髮都根根豎起。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCjnq5V4Va
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO7ppNdv43
「在白天的時候......你保護了莎薇.......」烏爾莉卡以虛弱的口吻道：「......謝謝。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnELpjRpuE

「莎薇現在在哪裡？難不成她已經被賣掉——」烏爾莉卡語帶哽咽，說不下去。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfJdBplePN
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEDGHPtdHt
「請放一百二十個心，夫人！莎薇正被關在您樓下的牢房內，沒有受到任何虐待或傷害。我剛剛已經去察看過她了，還偷偷給塞她一小塊糕點填飽肚子。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wfYgW0OEf

66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUc2gZDbZd
烏爾莉卡的雙眸直勾勾地盯著艾塔奇，彷彿能看到他的靈魂深處。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FrNq8d5QM
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRkZV7YRCZ
「我猜這是自然之母的命運安排吧！」艾塔奇坦率回答。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtXeEnXtbG

「自然之母？命運？」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5SSIbeBFg
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU5QdIuHcU
「不瞞您說....我的母親也曾是一名奴隸，所以我很討厭販賣奴隸這種行為。」艾塔奇娓娓說道：「然而，阿爾及爾正是以販奴為主的商業大城。我並不想裝做一副假清高的模樣，但盡量避免和奴隸販子有直接接觸，結果只剩下一些零工能做......這回我誤上賊船，親身參與這場對人類王國的劫掠，對我內心的打擊也很大呀！因此我想為妳們做點什麼......」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0frEaZfMux

66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl9R2VpTOy
艾塔奇頓了一下。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJaF4ALa6V
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gXdkrz1SH
「所以我想到一個辦法，能夠避免莎薇淪落為奴。只怕夫人會覺得我是個趁人之危的小人......」他低聲說。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q1KbNnlam

「那就是結......結......結婚。」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14ekEuJ1aw

66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs47rEF42IR
「結婚？」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiMLVkoGv3
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk7UqkrSlp
「當然，這是在俘虜正式被販賣為奴隸之前的規定。身為獸人的我只要跟人類俘虜結婚，另一半就會成為自由民......」艾塔奇的聲音越來越小。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosIdj4eSRa
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNQzP5IYVR
烏爾莉卡聽聞後深吸一口氣：原來如此，這名少年看上了莎薇，還想把她娶進門！66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFAqCwmmT6

66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItO19YWz8A
烏爾莉卡從未想過將自己的女兒嫁給一頭野獸人，更別說以這種形式了；不過仔細一想，她當初嫁給伯爵丈夫的時候，不也是充滿各方貴族的利益算計嗎？66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujbb5AHUcr
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcHtqy3aTW
先不論艾塔奇是否真心愛著女兒，這仍是個避免讓莎薇淪落為奴的大好機會。烏爾莉卡暗暗心想，至於之後會發生什麼樣的事情，都可以晚點再去考慮。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT1bFoI0MR
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQI2zYj29C

66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifvwBKtBr0
「這是我們獸族的婚姻契約，稱之為尼卡罕(nikah)。只要夫人在上面簽名，這門婚姻就算成立了。這紙契約具有嚴格法律效益，絕非隨隨便便的文件。由於我本人還未成年，所以簽名後我必須找鬣狗氏族的族長做認證。我會在夫人和莎薇被推上奴隸市場前回來的！」66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTNuWPMRu4
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZYHE37Sne
啊，莎薇畢竟還未成年，必須由身為母親的我代為簽名。烏爾莉卡心想。66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP62zFkhTjh
