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。432Please respect copyright.PENANAZau0Gw4vSb
432Please respect copyright.PENANAjSikxaJxgk
李魚感嘆道:「古堡用蒸汽鐵門作防禦,不錯嘛。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAfry35c2FlQ
432Please respect copyright.PENANAHEd2fEAFqn
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。432Please respect copyright.PENANAKjqADTrmG8
432Please respect copyright.PENANAdmHIdjXA9g
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAbleoBDtnLH
432Please respect copyright.PENANAZkGJKczFuj
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAFKvKhIikO9
432Please respect copyright.PENANA8mgcoecSb5
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAzmEj5psJtN
432Please respect copyright.PENANA9xKUNr1n9B
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。432Please respect copyright.PENANAN8s9NUGhqJ
432Please respect copyright.PENANAKG7UDxBu23
最重要的是地圖沒有相關字眼留下。432Please respect copyright.PENANAmFUtiIvC5j
432Please respect copyright.PENANAzBebQsL0ab
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAwMeLI1eOGN
432Please respect copyright.PENANAWjGTLyndTw
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?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAexQwQf9yu7
432Please respect copyright.PENANAp3c0cfXeYi
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。432Please respect copyright.PENANAcEObbHvVtu
432Please respect copyright.PENANACvopD6WtDn
最好有功法存在。432Please respect copyright.PENANAyyRWPKvb7U
432Please respect copyright.PENANAlln0gTr6J3
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。432Please respect copyright.PENANAZItRCd9lj8
432Please respect copyright.PENANA23U1UbenPh
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANA3a1Tscgknc
432Please respect copyright.PENANAgL3XnWABUB
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。432Please respect copyright.PENANAWE2Cc0Me5d
432Please respect copyright.PENANAsXlfmKSfgg
李魚向老鬼道:「一個金幣,向那處出全力打一通。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAhV8RuOlnjD
432Please respect copyright.PENANA6RHRf05vJ7
先生伸出食指一點,他想老人出招。432Please respect copyright.PENANAAI9jyQVGQD
432Please respect copyright.PENANAn2bMP4NgsL
老鬼嘆服道:「你總是將危險留給別人,自己享受成果。」432Please respect copyright.PENANA0VaMZZ1bZA
432Please respect copyright.PENANAPlcRuZhH2j
李魚沒有否認道:「富貴險中求,我比較怕死。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAr3Qv3ZEUvI
432Please respect copyright.PENANAbBVzqQufpk
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。432Please respect copyright.PENANA9wIQ88JyeE
432Please respect copyright.PENANAB83CMOR1AX
李魚道:「不出所料,真的是毫無作用,走吧。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAKSOk1gVeQr
432Please respect copyright.PENANAPg0o4B1pfD
老鬼接道:「去哪?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAC0dvO3Y9c0
432Please respect copyright.PENANAHlTCkt4H78
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。432Please respect copyright.PENANAhSvAKydCNA
432Please respect copyright.PENANAJLCFlQTOpP
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。432Please respect copyright.PENANA2c8EKzkZbA
432Please respect copyright.PENANAkOcpfL6Glp
老鬼道:「費迪南男爵軍功卓絕,特批享建古堡的權利。」432Please respect copyright.PENANA4CAc9KsscV
432Please respect copyright.PENANAVoX3rUuXEk
李魚想起某人道:「莫非是勞德,費迪南?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAe66BK1XlW6
432Please respect copyright.PENANAINWf2omNnl
老鬼佩服道:「小子你還真是什麼都知道。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ1aeC28Yu
432Please respect copyright.PENANAHnvB9fwOmc
李魚無所謂道:「只是小時候聽過這個名字。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAEoKgwEYTVj
432Please respect copyright.PENANAN6XhPUsCPg
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAxF7mXGIMon
432Please respect copyright.PENANACoM8UUUmgB
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAjcMsSzNl5n
432Please respect copyright.PENANAprJOGQHNlx
先生總結了男爵的實力並給予很高評價。432Please respect copyright.PENANAfLRtViwKUd
432Please respect copyright.PENANA7DTAujBclr
老鬼笑道:「他當然不是,你知不知道費迪南家族?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAq8ULS3DHN7
432Please respect copyright.PENANA3mcL259if7
李魚道:「我並非歷史學家。」432Please respect copyright.PENANA58BcRfTwHD
432Please respect copyright.PENANAATV6DiQpmx
老鬼笑意盈盈道:「你自己看。」432Please respect copyright.PENANA4sDSNgYAce
432Please respect copyright.PENANACFl0sC7Tz7
映入先生眼簾的是《帝國家族發展史》。432Please respect copyright.PENANAivAGUwW3OU
432Please respect copyright.PENANAuulUxOxH4x
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAO5yr0as2VQ
432Please respect copyright.PENANATgtZxH4rZq
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAHPH1oqbLRh
432Please respect copyright.PENANAKx1wpAdR2a
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANANBxrFW2JTV
432Please respect copyright.PENANAc7aLqWV9Wg
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAL59utAMz6m
432Please respect copyright.PENANAdv7d7MMFYm
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANANuJNgRooM6
432Please respect copyright.PENANA9t56CQTaLd
老鬼補充道:「始祖是亞倫,費迪南。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAkHbdVuN5Uy
432Please respect copyright.PENANABt5gbLuOiG
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》。」432Please respect copyright.PENANARw4mXNSDCV
432Please respect copyright.PENANAVNIcHYVMPO
李魚疑問道:「神術?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAhy5WhZhmNq
432Please respect copyright.PENANAYiROWSUTgH
老鬼答道:「亞倫費迪南是南部傳統教派的忠誠信徒。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAwTrE2ps5oa
432Please respect copyright.PENANAOm2xuSFVd3
李魚驚訝道:「這也寫在書上?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAa7CGSDAO8M
432Please respect copyright.PENANApnTHCvIbQQ
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAFRIS0elQ82
432Please respect copyright.PENANAmAaJm8EkDy
李魚點頭道:「真主的確是南部的信仰。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAeI2rgOLRMs
432Please respect copyright.PENANAIsOGoAi4Cb
老鬼問:「你帶我來就是看他們的歷史?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAen0amVoKor
432Please respect copyright.PENANAwFzpeLDPkX
李魚確定道:「算是了解一下而已。」432Please respect copyright.PENANA3k8QBlw4S3
432Please respect copyright.PENANAFgIj7v4tck
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANARTvzOjPQRl
432Please respect copyright.PENANAKDxjuYuxbb
先生道出這一句話後翻上了書本,費迪南家族就如此簡短。432Please respect copyright.PENANACUuZglmeSL
432Please respect copyright.PENANAKDNEMwPA4Z
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAri61YnQaKO
432Please respect copyright.PENANAiQxrCQ3Nit
老鬼認同道:「我的猜想相同。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAfgwi2tfIUz
432Please respect copyright.PENANAqUgPuVsgF5
李魚合上書道:「那先會合其餘人再討論吧。」432Please respect copyright.PENANABD4XTo8gf9
432Please respect copyright.PENANAiJRcI7JNH1
一行人租住了酒館,選擇了半夜繼續討論。432Please respect copyright.PENANAiJYJQFYmsE
432Please respect copyright.PENANAQNx9DcdNhb
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAOdSlxwComV
432Please respect copyright.PENANAWaLaVFV8ea
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANADLifxxyrUL
432Please respect copyright.PENANAH43Pe1QOlI
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAduTvKKIBUq
432Please respect copyright.PENANAPtkhUs62oZ
老鬼譏諷道:「這還算是小樓嗎?二三十人都可以住下。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAz5UYcq7kki
432Please respect copyright.PENANARmWVVlNVR2
再補一刀道:「將軍,似乎你的智慧與實力真的不太相乎。」432Please respect copyright.PENANA2H9wCX56kD
432Please respect copyright.PENANAamKaZo2vEF
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。432Please respect copyright.PENANAXL2OCjPBqy
432Please respect copyright.PENANAI5r5IQHbK3
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。432Please respect copyright.PENANATTxWQmCMoX
432Please respect copyright.PENANAYMKeftEVbv
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAGHe0rtfZtf
432Please respect copyright.PENANAT4tsxeeDIN
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?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAtmhhxjmTjL
432Please respect copyright.PENANAFybu6EGvLb
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAb4uX7K2mdi
432Please respect copyright.PENANAeXjiEz0vNz
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAHVvNqe0O4Y
432Please respect copyright.PENANAIL4fOPV93U
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。432Please respect copyright.PENANA7l5JHmb8KQ
432Please respect copyright.PENANAaGuJXcq1Vb
小丫撒嬌道:「你別胡說,先生,小丫可沒偷懶!」432Please respect copyright.PENANAguKaXYM7Ex
432Please respect copyright.PENANAC0GdiAiltJ
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANA9W6jt9HUSD
432Please respect copyright.PENANAEzpfGDcVOL
其他成員一同道:「恭喜隊長!」432Please respect copyright.PENANAHa2cr75RVX
432Please respect copyright.PENANA2XGCq5q7CM
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。432Please respect copyright.PENANADCgskg3Yl7
432Please respect copyright.PENANARvBHAB4TDQ
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。」432Please respect copyright.PENANAMbR46aUMeB
432Please respect copyright.PENANAMKD7BFvtS9
五年前?432Please respect copyright.PENANAF0zM8qTO88
432Please respect copyright.PENANAVRUrhIgrWv
李魚問:「五年前是山仁傑初到的年份?」432Please respect copyright.PENANAQSuBrFe820
