鄰近傍晚,夕陽被厚重的烏雲吞沒,大地籠罩於一片漆黑之中,烏雲不只帶來黑暗,同時也挾帶著驚人雨勢,讓地面變得泥濘不堪,難以行走。

貝亞姆樹林,這是位於亞拉爾大森林以及貝恩城中間的小樹林,有著幾戶獵戶以及伐木工居於此地,但是本該人聲鼎沸的伐木場此刻陷入一片寂靜。

一夥看起來就不好惹的強盜已經光顧這個地點,在大雨沖刷下,強盜們作案的痕跡很快化作腥紅細流,消失在這個雨夜之中。

伐木場周圍有著防護用圍欄,入口處則架設一個小高台,一般會由工人輪班,監視森林中動物的動向。而現在一個滿臉絡腮鬍的粗壯大漢佔據了這個位置,他坐在小木椅上,愜意地吃著同夥送來的烤肉,同時警惕著森林中任何動靜。

肯尼用少了食指的右手比了個中指,沒有回話直接跑進營地裡。多雷頓也不在意,反正團隊裡嘴巴更臭的人多的是。

肯尼直接跑到了伐木場後面的山洞中。團長柯爾森就坐在山洞入口處,一邊旋轉著烤肉架的握把,一邊望向洞穴外,憂鬱滄桑的表情讓人看不出他在想什麼。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAU07CVyVilp
99Please respect copyright.PENANAyg9BFGALyR

肯尼也不敢多問,只是跑到柯爾森身旁靜靜等待。他可不敢擅自開口,上一個這樣做的,現在還埋在不知道哪個森林的土裡呢。

99Please respect copyright.PENANAs1HFc7cvQy

「哈哈,不枉費我不斷給出的假消息,卡雷爾那臭婊子中計了吧。」一掃先前憂鬱的表情,柯爾森臉上露出猙獰的笑容,「媽的,敢一直壞我們的好事,這次一定要把她抓起來。」

柯爾森領導的強盜團夥,其在外以傭兵團的身分到處胡作非為,但是由於團長柯爾森實力強勁,再加上搶完就跑的習慣,因此大多數人對他們沒什麼辦法。

距離道路不遠的距離,這裡有著一處空曠的場所,特別清理過的地面是大量小碎石鋪成的地板,這是專門整理出來讓避雨商隊暫時扎營的地點。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAmxrLjIdG8p
99Please respect copyright.PENANAkGs175dd5B
99Please respect copyright.PENANA8dZmjU5DIk
商隊在赤牙傭兵團的指揮下,將馬車排成不算規整的圓形,只留下一個小出口,雖然不能說百分之百安全,但是至少可以讓危險來臨時,傭兵團不用面對四面八方湧上的敵人。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAOukWv9TkyF

在中間的地方,用油布搭起一個大大的平頂棚子,讓大部分的人能夠在這裡稍作休息,畢竟馬車上都裝滿了貨物,並沒有多少能夠容納人們的位置。
99Please respect copyright.PENANA7qD7vIEDOv
夏莉娜和埃尼亞也下了馬車,她們坐在棚子的邊緣,靠著附近小火堆取暖。就在這時,赤牙團長卡雷爾手中拿著兩個木碗走她們身旁。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAG9yoB3tCvn

夏莉娜遲疑了一會兒,這才接過了木碗。埃尼亞則是在她接過碗之前就已經大口喝起來。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAf6q2S8M1Xc
99Please respect copyright.PENANAeMjRAYFmoN
冒著熱氣的湯呈現混濁的黃色,量不算多,喝起來有點辣還有一絲絲甜,雖然份量不多,但是熱湯才剛入腹,夏莉娜便覺得渾身暖和許多。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAY4EC1yC6II

99Please respect copyright.PENANAS0fITLXF9w
99Please respect copyright.PENANASjlZ8Qa4cc
聞言,夏莉娜環顧四周,這才發現除了她們之外,只有少部分的傭兵團成員手上有著木碗,其餘的人大多都只是圍坐在火堆旁取暖而已。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAJkqwGnVllV
99Please respect copyright.PENANATPlAk51Kdo

還沒等她有所反應,卡雷爾接著開口問道。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAdF4T8D5SuH
99Please respect copyright.PENANA9VdCTLmgmn
99Please respect copyright.PENANAUyra06zFZN
「妳們離開森林之後要去哪裡?」

99Please respect copyright.PENANA2cMkjSi8Pb
99Please respect copyright.PENANAtreD1mXpHu
「情報對傭兵來說可是很重要的,像您這樣的大人物特地外出一趟,應該是有什麼要事得處理,看在熱湯的份上多少透露一點給我也沒關係吧。」
99Please respect copyright.PENANA25wVpD7YMU
99Please respect copyright.PENANAhrSQmnHrOv
99Please respect copyright.PENANAxW6LSCOeJn
夏莉娜一時語塞。雖然說這件事是她的私事,也沒有告訴外人的必要,不過正如卡雷爾所說,反正也不是什麼大事,透露一些沒什麼關係。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAaHqDfzeEIj
99Please respect copyright.PENANAd96KtBx2ZC
99Please respect copyright.PENANAyBbnj4Ngbm
「我也不是什麼大人物啦,只不過是想去塔菲恩王國一趟。」
99Please respect copyright.PENANAX7Rh4M8v0A
99Please respect copyright.PENANA00KsKDAsy4
99Please respect copyright.PENANAyzCylLKjBf
「塔菲恩?那還真遠呢,精靈王國最近和塔菲恩王國有什麼交集嗎?」卡雷爾直接忽略掉夏莉娜前半段話,接著詢問道。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAfRjP1tpmj1
99Please respect copyright.PENANAea0PTjmaMQ
99Please respect copyright.PENANAmxXoF6j1Ws
「不,是我自己的私事。」這樣說完,夏莉娜低下了頭。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAMIQQnFMKwB
99Please respect copyright.PENANAeQKYhXceOG
99Please respect copyright.PENANA8xO1ntuR3Z
「诶,這樣啊。」卡雷爾發出怪聲,明顯不相信夏莉娜的話。
99Please respect copyright.PENANA8S3QuXSEeJ
99Please respect copyright.PENANAnxDcmer8wB
99Please respect copyright.PENANAbMgQ8xl3yD
儘管如此,夏莉娜也不會多做解釋,畢竟她和卡雷爾並不熟,更何況對方因此會錯意而轉頭離開那就更好了。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAOJrbi95D1j
99Please respect copyright.PENANAOulKRS1Wtq
99Please respect copyright.PENANAhy7370l0qE
不過卡雷爾可不會輕易放棄,既然夏莉娜不想說,那麼換個對象就好了。

埃尼亞瞪大眼睛,本來因為全身暖和而露出的笑臉瞬間消失,她鼓著嘴不滿的看著卡雷爾。
99Please respect copyright.PENANA3HxvNijtMU

99Please respect copyright.PENANAhAH7z2jM9D
99Please respect copyright.PENANAHGbpAQN9vh
卡雷爾表面上打了個哈哈,但是內心已經發出嘆息。連續兩次提問失利,再繼續問下去應該也得不出什麼結果。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAQLN1Ve85va
99Please respect copyright.PENANA4DNGaoskhl
99Please respect copyright.PENANA7eaGGbYmQk
卡雷爾本打算找個藉口直接離開,畢竟旅程還有一段時間,之後熟悉一點再問,搞不好可以得到不一樣的答案。不過在她執行想法前就被夏莉娜給打消她的念頭。

99Please respect copyright.PENANANl63A7BXP8
根據卡雷爾所說,該傭兵團名為古蘭的榮光,雖然以榮光為名,但是其行事作風與一般強盜團基本沒有區別,因此又被一般人稱為古蘭的瘋狗。
99Please respect copyright.PENANAe5W41cZIuW
99Please respect copyright.PENANApU1FaaqyH8
99Please respect copyright.PENANA1N9UNswQvc
並且一般強盜相比,他們卻有著精銳的武裝,以及訓練有素的戰士,因此才能夠四處流竄而不被剿滅。根據小道消息指出,榮光傭兵團是已經覆滅的古蘭帝國遺民組建,因此才對追捕精靈這種行為情有獨鍾。

99Please respect copyright.PENANAQQzon2tDCo
99Please respect copyright.PENANALn3aDlN5e4
「不清楚,不過古蘭帝國跟塔菲恩王國有仇倒是可以肯定,畢竟當初揭露帝國的陰謀,讓帝國聲敗名裂,隨後拉攏盟友一舉戰勝帝國的,正是有著『黃金雄獅』稱號的傳奇劍聖,塔菲恩王國的伊維斯伯爵。」

99Please respect copyright.PENANAD56uXMPe9O
99Please respect copyright.PENANAgZAOdcOkmo
99Please respect copyright.PENANAS3s51iCONW
夏莉娜露出苦笑,畢竟她昏迷了兩百多年,這也是沒辦法的事情。不過話說回來,卡雷爾口中提到的伊維斯伯爵,該不會是萊爾吧?

99Please respect copyright.PENANArCxFhcKNrX
99Please respect copyright.PENANAwhCi9sDVLs
「那些之後有空再說,話說妳也不用太擔心啦,瘋狗之前已經被我們趕跑了,聽說最近跑到更北部的國家附近作亂,所以到貝恩城這段路,應該是沒什麼危險。」
99Please respect copyright.PENANAUG1Ye6CuWb
99Please respect copyright.PENANAauzahOIsn2
聽到卡雷爾所述,夏莉娜稍微感到放心,畢竟之前一直聽到捕奴團的消息,多少還是有些不安,不過看卡雷爾信心滿滿地模樣,應該沒有太大問題——
