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。428Please respect copyright.PENANAbRKxnVWacU
428Please respect copyright.PENANApNn9xEMKMM
李魚感嘆道:「古堡用蒸汽鐵門作防禦,不錯嘛。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAAswzcCqk0h
428Please respect copyright.PENANALwEJL6OQUM
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。428Please respect copyright.PENANAcbn0VkGOLY
428Please respect copyright.PENANAAU3cB3eK91
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANA5OwgOQoLp7
428Please respect copyright.PENANAw5DEsaKeFA
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAyUh4ZjmTu7
428Please respect copyright.PENANAyFaobjqNpv
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAao8ZBGqGoF
428Please respect copyright.PENANASjZvLRV5cr
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。428Please respect copyright.PENANAMviCBS0mOH
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxtF0yhLhVD
最重要的是地圖沒有相關字眼留下。428Please respect copyright.PENANA9S68J9VhPG
428Please respect copyright.PENANAeUIG4af7AL
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAsCs7IOFpQG
428Please respect copyright.PENANAaxFwL8GZ7z
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?」428Please respect copyright.PENANA8mi9wV2tXM
428Please respect copyright.PENANAktHs4uDRGQ
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。428Please respect copyright.PENANA0NvsB6tKn6
428Please respect copyright.PENANAphGwy46MXj
最好有功法存在。428Please respect copyright.PENANAtC0iQcxS2J
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5djK7wDPBJ
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。428Please respect copyright.PENANAOHBJnkklgr
428Please respect copyright.PENANAETvtgWJWw1
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANA9n2300YzJX
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdYckT9rFgM
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。428Please respect copyright.PENANAiJMdNcPe5M
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUiRDTvVuWR
李魚向老鬼道:「一個金幣,向那處出全力打一通。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAoABJseRrjY
428Please respect copyright.PENANApqoFYdAPJC
先生伸出食指一點,他想老人出招。428Please respect copyright.PENANAwXs5vFp1od
428Please respect copyright.PENANAK2WWaYPaEy
老鬼嘆服道:「你總是將危險留給別人,自己享受成果。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAUoU8XXYGZC
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdjnbcJgzo8
李魚沒有否認道:「富貴險中求,我比較怕死。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAXbqt2bk6Mp
428Please respect copyright.PENANAS5AnatFbcA
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。428Please respect copyright.PENANA3oLboolGQz
428Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y6q5jyn9r
李魚道:「不出所料,真的是毫無作用,走吧。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAzOKiOC2OBT
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6DIfdH4lxz
老鬼接道:「去哪?」428Please respect copyright.PENANARu45qrfe38
428Please respect copyright.PENANAzHdDYSUpo8
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。428Please respect copyright.PENANAjkDYPhvqaF
428Please respect copyright.PENANAnrEYcRaRrs
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。428Please respect copyright.PENANAm537hw1d5h
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdKkQrhH7Gq
老鬼道:「費迪南男爵軍功卓絕,特批享建古堡的權利。」428Please respect copyright.PENANA5zV307O5UA
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGqGkTkCaGR
李魚想起某人道:「莫非是勞德,費迪南?」428Please respect copyright.PENANA8avMr3MQ3n
428Please respect copyright.PENANALCLWYGZ8It
老鬼佩服道:「小子你還真是什麼都知道。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAMIQWQz00pO
428Please respect copyright.PENANAX2kkZ4coWX
李魚無所謂道:「只是小時候聽過這個名字。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAAKrE592XNW
428Please respect copyright.PENANASGCNvVk3Pe
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAuAK3VVCVu0
428Please respect copyright.PENANAcUtMJFx2JF
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAXkBDeQibEd
428Please respect copyright.PENANA5IbcvMpZ9s
先生總結了男爵的實力並給予很高評價。428Please respect copyright.PENANAstLuo8YyPX
428Please respect copyright.PENANAu7v7SYDEgB
老鬼笑道:「他當然不是,你知不知道費迪南家族?」428Please respect copyright.PENANAiX0S4POBvA
428Please respect copyright.PENANA3wOA6F5igV
李魚道:「我並非歷史學家。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAZWKM6xds4z
428Please respect copyright.PENANAupDdgC69nF
老鬼笑意盈盈道:「你自己看。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAahkBtNgtCb
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkCuPtjPv3F
映入先生眼簾的是《帝國家族發展史》。428Please respect copyright.PENANAgnlIsaiFCe
428Please respect copyright.PENANA1OQy8wGBk2
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAJdaGtr7jRu
428Please respect copyright.PENANAh86Fanv0b5
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANALDEs39Ohd6
428Please respect copyright.PENANAKyPKRpwio7
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAP2LBzVLV7N
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJIE3nOgZTk
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAvBdkaAY6a8
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhDoaA9yyGr
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAaRZP8SIfNb
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgReeh6VJV5
老鬼補充道:「始祖是亞倫,費迪南。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAxTz0078jGU
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGtUjJQ7ETs
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》。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAsi5yQ1VGtz
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOTlGroQ4bR
李魚疑問道:「神術?」428Please respect copyright.PENANA22uNwNFLlO
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXu7tSugiuw
老鬼答道:「亞倫費迪南是南部傳統教派的忠誠信徒。」428Please respect copyright.PENANA0oAm1QjLld
428Please respect copyright.PENANATYK9NMwJqz
李魚驚訝道:「這也寫在書上?」428Please respect copyright.PENANAtvvqVW8f1b
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhzeQNf1nOl
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANA6FKaFYuhPa
428Please respect copyright.PENANAiZRYpPnEMi
李魚點頭道:「真主的確是南部的信仰。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAGx2Uhapw6f
428Please respect copyright.PENANAups0JEZy2d
老鬼問:「你帶我來就是看他們的歷史?」428Please respect copyright.PENANAX4pYRy8mJk
428Please respect copyright.PENANAlpD6yYISgI
李魚確定道:「算是了解一下而已。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAjdMbWq780d
428Please respect copyright.PENANAXhGhGSmaSd
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANACS2kpYVaXY
428Please respect copyright.PENANAeprPULeRA5
先生道出這一句話後翻上了書本,費迪南家族就如此簡短。428Please respect copyright.PENANARiUtmow6Kv
428Please respect copyright.PENANAr8NCNp1d2e
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANARh9gaEzWUB
428Please respect copyright.PENANAebDa2uqt2v
老鬼認同道:「我的猜想相同。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAYzbOPqThuV
428Please respect copyright.PENANAT6hMFqt2AV
李魚合上書道:「那先會合其餘人再討論吧。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAYtSjwgaIBS
428Please respect copyright.PENANAN0rjoBd1Zl
一行人租住了酒館,選擇了半夜繼續討論。428Please respect copyright.PENANAu2c3EgO3Z6
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6dL5jE4Zpl
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANA9WI7PgAxFP
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJ20UQiUSbT
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAZXh30HMRs6
428Please respect copyright.PENANAyxSeq9jE3e
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANA8CQDy954wK
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHcXyR5NhmZ
老鬼譏諷道:「這還算是小樓嗎?二三十人都可以住下。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAtyawYUQwsi
428Please respect copyright.PENANAkmqDhojqkT
再補一刀道:「將軍,似乎你的智慧與實力真的不太相乎。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAlDevrqi6NP
428Please respect copyright.PENANApdFpfA3GJd
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。428Please respect copyright.PENANAONAf7h68qc
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6VoYbeJc8R
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。428Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ7MBYatwv
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOc5U8Em2T8
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAWTutzozyv2
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8nHyrzpVeq
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?」428Please respect copyright.PENANAwoU0Uh4v64
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxPXbhj6OSV
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAhRzbo2ZLek
428Please respect copyright.PENANAftfLWkpSIQ
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAz3Icx6BOBq
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhyjAlyJype
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。428Please respect copyright.PENANAT7ZBWwcrt3
428Please respect copyright.PENANAIuj8b9kMCK
小丫撒嬌道:「你別胡說,先生,小丫可沒偷懶!」428Please respect copyright.PENANANSxC6zsiqf
428Please respect copyright.PENANAV4fyEVIxqt
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAF6XW4SUJep
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxKs0YNaapl
其他成員一同道:「恭喜隊長!」428Please respect copyright.PENANACj6gU5WMks
428Please respect copyright.PENANAw0UCiscXUH
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。428Please respect copyright.PENANAIIkie0K8YZ
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJtjf1tJ2Nb
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。」428Please respect copyright.PENANAiQoceesGR3
428Please respect copyright.PENANAUkT5xfls6Q
五年前?428Please respect copyright.PENANAFcUpSRlGeH
428Please respect copyright.PENANAGY1AmWvK4y
李魚問:「五年前是山仁傑初到的年份?」428Please respect copyright.PENANAPEj2SUR9dA
