會合的一團人向最後據點前行,那是一個郊外古堡,歷史推算該有四百年,它的年齡與外表有很大差距,它看起來似是修補過很多次。429Please respect copyright.PENANATDMGz5EiZa
429Please respect copyright.PENANAhi802MzLII
李魚感嘆道:「古堡用蒸汽鐵門作防禦,不錯嘛。」429Please respect copyright.PENANA1axSIxjLDq
429Please respect copyright.PENANAomwgrbCAHG
除了古代智慧結晶護城河之外,吊橋選用了蒸汽科技以高壓驅動鐵門。429Please respect copyright.PENANAXdHWAhZZXp
429Please respect copyright.PENANAR6U5PQVZrV
老鬼警惕道:「這意味古堡有重要東西或人的機會極大,防守也會很嚴密,至少應該有對付將軍的準備。」429Please respect copyright.PENANA7PJAQJbO2O
429Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ63D6fh5V
李魚道:「古堡面積只是普通貴族的級別,封爵也不會再住這種古堡,與時並進,封爵更愛搬進大城市裡去。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAgiD5KCf5LI
429Please respect copyright.PENANALY0hYL0iyT
老鬼偷笑道:「所以我認為此處怕是收藏了驚為天人的東西,為處近郊就能越少動靜。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAlCdCFgxuxJ
429Please respect copyright.PENANAMAUqHfsJdn
老人與先生一來一往解釋了自己的看法,將軍吸收他們的經驗漸漸學習觀察與分析技巧,其他隊員有些做為觀察員,有些試圖找出接近的辦法。429Please respect copyright.PENANAaeGmSlcYbP
429Please respect copyright.PENANAyQcapTgcBg
最重要的是地圖沒有相關字眼留下。429Please respect copyright.PENANApD8943MtEK
429Please respect copyright.PENANATlqES9QPWa
老鬼分析道:「強行攻佔的機會不大,觸動機關更有可能得不償失,鐵門該也不可能自行打開。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAy6yfbsqvn5
429Please respect copyright.PENANAN3aoBdQsPa
李魚問道:「蒸汽科技方便卻笨重,安裝必然有巨大動力裝置伴隨,你們當中有人熟水性嗎?」429Please respect copyright.PENANA76xZKHYjfZ
429Please respect copyright.PENANACW3749xdV5
小丫與另一名男隊員站了出來,先生讓他們小心潛入水中看看情況,但也不能接近太多,先生用樹枝測試過,經過門外二十步的位置就會出現無形的上升氣流,出現的間隔是半秒左右,以都統的身體會被直接切開一半毫無懸念,這機關也是精心挑選,山十四的準備顯示了它不可估量的價值,此行不虛。429Please respect copyright.PENANAeSPye7pvc0
429Please respect copyright.PENANAYVUfLqCl0n
最好有功法存在。429Please respect copyright.PENANAeNuYLFqxpC
429Please respect copyright.PENANAicM0tJ0Y3H
先生被老人打破僅有的幻想後,他也改為轉修其他功法的念頭,如此,他才有希望擊破李家這個龐然大物。429Please respect copyright.PENANAslvrArjjYU
429Please respect copyright.PENANA0MxYWdWx7M
小丫道:「先生,水底有處出現地陷的情況,除了這樣就沒有其他特別了。」429Please respect copyright.PENANADc24PAhsyz
429Please respect copyright.PENANAiKi33SLf7Q
另一位隊員持同樣的看法,出現地陷那必然是土壤出了問題,不排除天然形成的原因,巧合不會無緣無故,人為的機會極大,先生有了想法。429Please respect copyright.PENANAf3GF0PnMXy
429Please respect copyright.PENANAIycNkp67tV
李魚向老鬼道:「一個金幣,向那處出全力打一通。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAg6CaZhrYzV
429Please respect copyright.PENANAvFDVjhZgIP
先生伸出食指一點,他想老人出招。429Please respect copyright.PENANAsxHIZf2cnp
429Please respect copyright.PENANAPnX0hpUILt
老鬼嘆服道:「你總是將危險留給別人,自己享受成果。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAHzmBB4sFO7
429Please respect copyright.PENANAfTsVB7Xpuv
李魚沒有否認道:「富貴險中求,我比較怕死。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAdXgdml4ns7
429Please respect copyright.PENANAEnTkIAtObv
先生不忘幽默,老人收了一個金幣後再展現淡金色原力保護罩,打出最驚人的一拳,河水散逸露出河底光禿的地表,原力久久沒消散。429Please respect copyright.PENANArd01TJpoLv
429Please respect copyright.PENANAX28QNnZYM8
李魚道:「不出所料,真的是毫無作用,走吧。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAyX3Hvzu2Xn
429Please respect copyright.PENANAUarnEuDetc
老鬼接道:「去哪?」429Please respect copyright.PENANAZE1ND8od2v
429Please respect copyright.PENANAD0gAlFfmjE
李魚立馬就走道:「先去一趟帝國圖書館。」
圖書館一處讀書室中,先生與老人一起研讀資料,其他人則去放風與收集消息。429Please respect copyright.PENANA9sKoMjTOMR
429Please respect copyright.PENANAyIFUqrWaRo
先生借了不少歷史文獻,大多是四百至五百年間的年曆以及新聞紙,終於得出大概的認知。429Please respect copyright.PENANA7wXGg35Vms
429Please respect copyright.PENANAupXdf9UJB3
老鬼道:「費迪南男爵軍功卓絕,特批享建古堡的權利。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAJEzIo8eo98
429Please respect copyright.PENANA849PajydWd
李魚想起某人道:「莫非是勞德,費迪南?」429Please respect copyright.PENANAxOSGVeJZ8t
429Please respect copyright.PENANA0sNZCbXKAj
老鬼佩服道:「小子你還真是什麼都知道。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAVmOZcY2cDX
429Please respect copyright.PENANALFy9sIhrnX
李魚無所謂道:「只是小時候聽過這個名字。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAB9yxvOTtbT
429Please respect copyright.PENANATsjZB3Clil
老鬼指著書中某處道:「這裡說勞德男爵修為初登猛將就斬殺一位血族公爵,並用牙齒噬咬血核,令血族一次重要的窺探帝國行動失敗而回。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAGUuV0sBSfQ
429Please respect copyright.PENANAWumk5P9sTD
李魚感慨道:「猛將級初期就可以連斬數位公爵,可知道同階下黑暗陣營身體質素比我們人族要強大很多,雖然公爵比起猛將級有著差距,但他輕易斬殺之就絕非庸人所為。」429Please respect copyright.PENANASy4YogelXo
429Please respect copyright.PENANArT2FtmBM3D
先生總結了男爵的實力並給予很高評價。429Please respect copyright.PENANAceCfh9Uj2e
429Please respect copyright.PENANAFfD7Ey6xBW
老鬼笑道:「他當然不是,你知不知道費迪南家族?」429Please respect copyright.PENANAngggE15qt7
429Please respect copyright.PENANAWru6xJVB6E
李魚道:「我並非歷史學家。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAEzjfnTeO8L
429Please respect copyright.PENANArmKX2etqih
老鬼笑意盈盈道:「你自己看。」429Please respect copyright.PENANA68BldQXiyA
429Please respect copyright.PENANAtGICPh3Nrb
映入先生眼簾的是《帝國家族發展史》。429Please respect copyright.PENANAPBI9Xsg5gR
429Please respect copyright.PENANAiK8JVEwPCQ
李魚道:「七百年前,帝國南部大陸,費迪南氏冒起為帝國收復數個部落。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAChkyLBuSAh
429Please respect copyright.PENANAVfPY2felbA
老人接著道:「差不多是帝國第三任皇帝的時期,那是『南部大開發時代』,史官稱當時的三任君主為武帝不是沒有原因。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAD1oaRsqruo
429Please respect copyright.PENANAFd7IGMHqLz
先生算是同意但再有補充:「三代是位『軍事狂人』,這個名字比較貼切。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAZJN0ASedtu
429Please respect copyright.PENANAguV0IazO5y
老鬼同意道:「也是,當時與黑暗陣營處於軍備競賽,掌握了原力黑暗陣營實力普遍都比我族要強大些許,亦是武帝推動之下才出現了量產型戰甲,為前線或是地區巡邏人員提供更安全的幫助。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAD9D9jruALV
429Please respect copyright.PENANAC3kJeimtAP
先生提起食指伸向某個段落道:「這也是費迪南氏崛起的年代,這裡還標著了他們的戰鬥風格以及成名人物。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAn0YqrqDzo1
429Please respect copyright.PENANAox4elzVxLM
老鬼補充道:「始祖是亞倫,費迪南。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAia9eZy18fZ
429Please respect copyright.PENANA2RcDXOD4qf
再接道:「他實力只是將軍級,擅用長矛,修行的功法是利用原力增強肌肉控制能力的《欲奧神術》。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAidedytsbaH
429Please respect copyright.PENANALxxB3fJXSa
李魚疑問道:「神術?」429Please respect copyright.PENANAaTMRGbmD0H
429Please respect copyright.PENANAdqAY3Phmgr
老鬼答道:「亞倫費迪南是南部傳統教派的忠誠信徒。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAoThaq1br7g
429Please respect copyright.PENANA2dVgwCZWNj
李魚驚訝道:「這也寫在書上?」429Please respect copyright.PENANAVxLVVsTQb9
429Please respect copyright.PENANA0BF21n0GQg
老鬼譏諷道:「是《教會年報》,真主造物會最新一期發表了對費迪南氏的稱讚,我從某個客人手上看過這個名字。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAWDuxIIuK5O
429Please respect copyright.PENANAU8Gv2UNnNk
李魚點頭道:「真主的確是南部的信仰。」429Please respect copyright.PENANA7XSzJFJyUs
429Please respect copyright.PENANAgxQLI9SsBx
老鬼問:「你帶我來就是看他們的歷史?」429Please respect copyright.PENANAbARnbq9HE6
429Please respect copyright.PENANA9yC9K0eMq4
李魚確定道:「算是了解一下而已。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAmvV7Kwyd9X
429Please respect copyright.PENANAplJu1lhhQd
老鬼訴說歷史道:「費迪南最後的血脈就在鎮外興趣了一座亞倫古堡,就在傳說始祖死去之地。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAGLK3JW51fw
429Please respect copyright.PENANAGPxhY369Bi
先生道出這一句話後翻上了書本,費迪南家族就如此簡短。429Please respect copyright.PENANATFWZQlIOx1
429Please respect copyright.PENANAPkyPGOClGi
李魚確定了心中想法道:「那就是說勞德費迪南可能已經死在山仁傑手中或是被控制了。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAePZF0v02MV
429Please respect copyright.PENANA59Vu7vtSCu
老鬼認同道:「我的猜想相同。」429Please respect copyright.PENANARqwbKkIdIT
429Please respect copyright.PENANAhnhATIWEz0
李魚合上書道:「那先會合其餘人再討論吧。」429Please respect copyright.PENANARPR9cK3DLL
429Please respect copyright.PENANAjG3nT1V7vk
一行人租住了酒館,選擇了半夜繼續討論。429Please respect copyright.PENANA4Z9JZH6cRn
429Please respect copyright.PENANAOmG8FVWi3h
將軍道:「先生交代我們之事已有眉目,費迪南家族在約克鎮上的聲望不錯,直到勞德男爵去世後古堡中人就住進鎮上,建了橦三層高的小樓在鎮長府旁。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAH0wqtK0OTD
429Please respect copyright.PENANA34WUMb3XCr
老鬼道:「原來如此,勞德男爵年老體衰時大抵已知遠離人郡的生活不太美好,城鎮的現代化驅使了他作出家族遷移的念頭。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAiW93l87spP
429Please respect copyright.PENANAAnnxhaTuxR
將軍再道:「在他死後即是三年前他的遺囑就遣散了大部分的下人,只留下親近的一同遷入小樓,加上下人總共有二三十人左右在小樓中生活。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAgDiTih60rt
429Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ3d76GxhR
老鬼譏諷道:「這還算是小樓嗎?二三十人都可以住下。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAEFbwPlsIXT
429Please respect copyright.PENANArkUfK41XHh
再補一刀道:「將軍,似乎你的智慧與實力真的不太相乎。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAvfGL0dZJtS
429Please respect copyright.PENANAysQyDEJvQA
老人家聽到將軍的話顯然失望,小丫的情報沒錯漏,一般受予爵位的貴族下人數目都有嚴格規定,但遠離帝都就少有人著急,男爵最多可以擁有五十名下人,所以費迪南家算是節儉了,先生考慮過該是他家的經濟出現問題,封地是主要收入來源,約克鎮至少是子爵級才可擁有的封地等級,男爵一般以田地計算封地,標準的受封最少可有十畝地最多三十畝,而且封地世襲。429Please respect copyright.PENANAQnlarVYtcp
429Please respect copyright.PENANA1xZoOyKsXX
費迪南越階受封得有約克鎮,但最終只有三層高的小樓以及二三十名下人,若是如此,先生給予他的評價可會大大降低,勞德絕不是個合格的管治者。429Please respect copyright.PENANA9QP1WijgaU
429Please respect copyright.PENANASUKT8jzS27
老人接著說:「也可以理解成費迪南家族的控制力不足,在鎮上的權力不完全。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAjsxEgjmf25
429Please respect copyright.PENANAtqfVNhKPT8
將軍思考回應:「那麼山仁傑就是看中這一點才得到亞倫古堡?」429Please respect copyright.PENANAeWSemHxwoL
429Please respect copyright.PENANAed8Kwtjw5l
小丫說道:「他很聰明,我打聽過關於山仁傑的消息,鎮上最熱鬧的茶市老闆就見過他與勞德經常喝茶吃點心。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAyNhMyzIX6B
429Please respect copyright.PENANATdoW6ptGuO
將軍想起趣事便接話:「小丫說那裡的茶點味道真的不錯呢,先生你應該嘗嘗。」429Please respect copyright.PENANA5iC1OZtoJg
429Please respect copyright.PENANAIQa2qTtOjr
將軍對於小丫和先生有興趣,其他人在他心中相對沒有份量,包括那個新加入的便宜師父。429Please respect copyright.PENANAtyVyDY2bxW
429Please respect copyright.PENANA4TrdBVaj8p
小丫撒嬌道:「你別胡說,先生,小丫可沒偷懶!」429Please respect copyright.PENANAGFd4YRQlMw
429Please respect copyright.PENANA7zeVK4iIU7
李魚看不下去道:「好了,你跟將軍的事早日定下來吧,我也懶得替你們隱瞞下去了。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAki1hYK6cel
429Please respect copyright.PENANAc7G4Kl2yzb
其他成員一同道:「恭喜隊長!」429Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ5QFRmB3h
429Please respect copyright.PENANA9A5v3KXTZK
另外的隊員如夢初醒,將軍面皮薄不是擅長應付此事的人,但這際不是時候。429Please respect copyright.PENANAvm2jBPI4Ce
429Please respect copyright.PENANA2HlonFpZsu
小丫紅著臉繼續道:「那老闆還說他聽說過山仁傑五年前提出過收購古堡的計劃,勞德初時不肯皆因先祖問題,但三年前似乎回心轉意。」429Please respect copyright.PENANAoArZqcFZ9K
429Please respect copyright.PENANAVuGP1PA6PI
五年前?429Please respect copyright.PENANAzTC1vWTxQf
429Please respect copyright.PENANAAUmgwUvBjJ
李魚問:「五年前是山仁傑初到的年份?」429Please respect copyright.PENANA4jUSHxZxum
