莫拉瓦讓喬奇把店裡的東西收一收,關掉爐火,把店門鎖上後,和我一起到外頭去隨意找一間酒館坐坐。512Please respect copyright.PENANApwRz7ePTyV
512Please respect copyright.PENANAw4MlUCP4iz
開玩笑,我才不要在那間待久了肯定會窒息的店裡頭談事情,我和莫拉瓦說了一會後,他也決定到外頭去,雖然他老人家絕對不想出門,但是主導權在我手上,他才配合我行事。512Please respect copyright.PENANAigGS7EkizX
512Please respect copyright.PENANAogqZse7MSf
「爺爺,我們去這間吧?」512Please respect copyright.PENANAWEyoZV1oJ6
512Please respect copyright.PENANACSx9nF7nGz
稍微走了點路,喬奇跑到前面,指著市集裡頭一間看起來有些高檔的酒吧,名字叫『棕泉奔流』,看起來就是間以酒很多為名的酒吧,喬奇你才十五歲,可以喝酒嗎?512Please respect copyright.PENANAAyhbDau8ez
512Please respect copyright.PENANAlzX4kgYoZy
莫拉瓦對喬奇的疑問只是點點頭不做聲,我也表示同意,喬奇看起來喜出望外,很快就跑到酒吧門前,我知道莫拉瓦為什麼沒意見,因為他的腳實在沒辦法走太多路,我配合著他的步伐在後頭慢慢走著,沒打算催促他。512Please respect copyright.PENANA2XqY58SD8u
512Please respect copyright.PENANAuyH9AlbD0z
其實看到他這樣子走路之後,我也開始有點不忍心,但是我打死都不要留在那間店裡,只好勉強老人家了。512Please respect copyright.PENANA4b94g82Klz
512Please respect copyright.PENANAqJoxIsbzzY
「歡迎光、臨……!裡面請坐!」512Please respect copyright.PENANAbL4CbqOjTQ
512Please respect copyright.PENANAmSCBUKMBqJ
當喬奇把酒吧門打開,讓我們一同進入後,在吧台的服務生立刻大聲招呼,不過看到莫拉瓦後聲音卻有些頓住。512Please respect copyright.PENANA2hTvK1pc8k
512Please respect copyright.PENANAmFwTQDApMJ
可想而知,莫拉瓦在這中央區應該算是頗有名氣,我猜他最有名的地方就是那古怪的脾氣和固執的個性吧,大概沒什麼人會想要面對他,我要是服務生,我也會嚇一跳的。512Please respect copyright.PENANAkSRECC2oqx
512Please respect copyright.PENANAfxtYlx9ESn
喬奇看了下酒吧內的坐位,找了一處在角落,椅子做成類似隔牆的設計坐位,不錯,要談事情的話,這種位子比較方便。512Please respect copyright.PENANAZjweIqwZjw
512Please respect copyright.PENANA6wd7XVHjUD
莫拉瓦坐上坐位後,看起來明顯輕鬆了點,我有點過意不去,拿出一瓶眼藥水大小的瓶子放到他面前。512Please respect copyright.PENANAie5FUkofNs
512Please respect copyright.PENANAYbuM5X3Ugf
「喝下。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAOhJ2Q9lldg
512Please respect copyright.PENANAM6HjesDA3d
老人家沉默一會,看著藥水搖頭。
「不行,這太貴重了,我不能喝。」512Please respect copyright.PENANApS9SbgDsv4
512Please respect copyright.PENANA2QyfuFB340
「這是我要求的,你必須保持體力,否則要怎麼和我談論事情?」512Please respect copyright.PENANAmqPdaUlkKg
512Please respect copyright.PENANA0jXJ69HZF5
看得出來他是那種不示弱的老人,我沒辦用關心老人的態度來對他,只能用這種半強硬的語氣命令他。512Please respect copyright.PENANAG7LSMjSItQ
512Please respect copyright.PENANAxnqoce4aDI
幸好莫拉瓦人雖然老,但頭腦可清醒的很,他稍微想了一下之後,便二話不說把藥水瓶蓋打開,直接喝完裡頭不多的藥水。512Please respect copyright.PENANAyHyTA4TRff
512Please respect copyright.PENANAWWrSAZa555
「……真是不可思議的藥水,味道分明清淡得和水一樣,卻可以這麼快恢復我的體力,大人,一會要談什麼事,您直說就好,我會認真考慮的。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAUmpPdTrVmK
512Please respect copyright.PENANAR2EiLARIE4
「不急,孩子,你先點餐,點了什麼都算我的。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAiefxiZ3NQa
512Please respect copyright.PENANAjCbpgTHy2e
喬奇沒想到我會請客,瞪大了眼看著我。512Please respect copyright.PENANAd0bSPp67ta
512Please respect copyright.PENANAWBaBaNorCh
「真的嗎?不管我點什麼都可以嗎?」512Please respect copyright.PENANATGkDHLIy2z
512Please respect copyright.PENANASTbGvcu479
我還沒回話,莫拉瓦就舉起手杖狠狠地敲了喬奇的頭,讓少年再度吃痛的閉嘴。512Please respect copyright.PENANAHrJcEBllTL
512Please respect copyright.PENANAeVkjHjfAW2
「大人要你做事,你照做就對了,不要問東問西的!」512Please respect copyright.PENANAz8QkfQNXYt
512Please respect copyright.PENANAxTFpf5Xhgt
好嚴厲的爺爺啊……512Please respect copyright.PENANAPsSVODUaKQ
512Please respect copyright.PENANAXHFSeuptlh
當服務生戰戰兢兢地過來向我們點餐,喬奇點了一大堆看起來是他早就想吃吃看的餐點,還點了兩大杯生啤酒,看得出來莫拉瓦忍住好幾次想敲他的衝動,不過我好幾次跟老人家示意沒關係,少年才躲過多次被打的命運。512Please respect copyright.PENANAq1Dsiqqdt6
512Please respect copyright.PENANAl8igEOuSqm
等到服務生離開之後,我在我們的位置周圍布置了噪音干擾和視覺干擾的結界後,才準備正式開始交談。512Please respect copyright.PENANAC05rXw8ezr
512Please respect copyright.PENANAR1iv7ZSkld
「看來您真的是高等舊人類,我活了這麼久,從沒見過不做任何動作就能夠布下結界的亞人種,而且還可以布置得如此隱密。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAynAuuYgQ8D
512Please respect copyright.PENANA3fsb63k9x4
見到結界的痕跡出現,莫拉瓦終於肯定了自己的猜測,確定我就是高等舊人類。512Please respect copyright.PENANAB6uslstuGo
512Please respect copyright.PENANA3PsM50JrUj
「欸?什麼?」
聽到莫拉瓦的話之後,喬奇才後知後覺的看向地板,不過他現在當然什麼都看不到。512Please respect copyright.PENANAILjTrZDxH8
512Please respect copyright.PENANAF1UqAQLeIt
「就像你在店裡問我的,你和那間店,有什麼是我想要的。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAD4kg6W6W0S
512Please respect copyright.PENANAeATEx4pPsV
我一開始說話,莫拉瓦立刻仔細地聽著,喬奇看見老人認真起來,這才趕緊做出認真的模樣,不了,你的合作等以後再說,現在用不到你,不用緊張。512Please respect copyright.PENANArKeWPVPCBP
512Please respect copyright.PENANAGzzXXheAk4
「我想要的,就是你和你這間店。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAvZNi2FPOeZ
512Please respect copyright.PENANAyBq8z1zP8b
莫拉瓦點點頭。
「你想要一個窗口,替你接收各種通知是吧?」512Please respect copyright.PENANAQNTJx0iSZn
512Please respect copyright.PENANAZg0oPFT2m6
他真的好厲害,我自己都不一定聽到第一句話就可以知道對方要做什麼,這個老人家馬上就可以理解我的用意,如果可以,還真想長期雇用他。512Please respect copyright.PENANAryX9f8SQho
512Please respect copyright.PENANAoWMlths2u3
「為一個高等舊人類做窗口是沒什麼問題,但我相信只要大人宣傳出去,到處都會有人爭先恐後的撲過來,為什麼您卻是找到我這種什麼都沒有的老頭子?」512Please respect copyright.PENANA3KHbqImL6X
512Please respect copyright.PENANAk4FD1uSlij
「心血來潮。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAFh0NGxKJ8T
512Please respect copyright.PENANAn1MyVjzoFp
我淡淡地說著,莫拉瓦皺起眉頭來,看起來有點不滿。512Please respect copyright.PENANAiaoeovA6V5
512Please respect copyright.PENANA7FSWWK27t0
「別誤會,選擇你可是有經過考慮的,我不需要外面那些滿是野心的年輕小伙子,我要的是足夠穩定,除了一份簡單的利益外就不再考慮其他事情的人,那樣合作起來,我才比較安心。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAx4HWFGgkMr
512Please respect copyright.PENANATE88TwlGio
一邊說,我一邊看向喬奇。
「正好遇見你帶我到店裡頭轉轉,這才真正讓我決定這件事。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAtnMMhVIV2Q
512Please respect copyright.PENANAQCF8dFML7i
莫拉瓦這時笑了笑,露出了精算的表情。512Please respect copyright.PENANAndWcrgdWTT
512Please respect copyright.PENANA46drBb8ns3
「要替您做這件事,我可是一點也不輕鬆,您想要做的事情我懂了,但是大人您能夠給什麼東西給我這個『野心不大』的老頭子呢?」512Please respect copyright.PENANA4wN6rjW626
512Please respect copyright.PENANAWxhDyMyJ2W
想要獅子大開口嗎?我怕你不成?512Please respect copyright.PENANAZgHZPCetZw
512Please respect copyright.PENANANCC5ZceRt3
「不,這可不是我要思考的問題。」512Please respect copyright.PENANA2ak8npWaIx
512Please respect copyright.PENANAbBxSK5dBUR
老人家又一次皺起眉。512Please respect copyright.PENANAcCmhPxFUzu
512Please respect copyright.PENANAqNLwLDjbWw
「問題是,你想要什麼?」512Please respect copyright.PENANAIHTLQ2Hupq
512Please respect copyright.PENANAdiiF6cEUEl
莫拉瓦微微睜大雙眼,大概已經懂我說出這句話的意思,他的雙手開始發抖,應該有點難以相信我真的什麼都可以給他。512Please respect copyright.PENANApRCs8SpvgV
512Please respect copyright.PENANA4Yy6iMNPxi
這時候,服務生送來喬奇點的餐,老人家暫時不再開口,等著餐點都放上、服務生走遠之後,才又看向我。512Please respect copyright.PENANA2rz5VH5uGB
512Please respect copyright.PENANApG9hleoRKl
喬奇看著滿桌的食物,很想開動,但見到我和莫拉瓦都沒有動作,於是他也忍著不動手,而莫拉瓦在這時又手杖敲了地板一下。512Please respect copyright.PENANAWvkTVGM9b6
512Please respect copyright.PENANAFOuojvvycS
「菜來了就快吃,愣著幹什麼!」512Please respect copyright.PENANAOAeeSDKfQL
512Please respect copyright.PENANAwiomRfemvB
「欸?可、可是……」512Please respect copyright.PENANAqVJBQ3RurG
512Please respect copyright.PENANAfkn6s8dwJc
「叫你吃就是了!」512Please respect copyright.PENANA1yNAX1c2C6
512Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ9lLFjsLc
大概不想讓喬奇聽到什麼,我不動聲色的補上第二層結界。512Please respect copyright.PENANAL1ziCv8Ym2
512Please respect copyright.PENANApbWz8jLoQg
「他聽不到的,想說什麼就說吧。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAsjl4vi1tc4
512Please respect copyright.PENANAVplWXKrtgi
莫拉瓦愣了一下,臉色有些鬆動。
「大人,我只是一個生命快到達盡頭的老人,以我的歷練,我只能大概看出您真的沒有要欺騙我的意思,但是……這是真的嗎?我能做的事情也就只有這些,您……還讓我可以開口要求所需?」512Please respect copyright.PENANAEooaHmZbRl
512Please respect copyright.PENANAtIb7n1TMSQ
欸?512Please respect copyright.PENANAxdjEIdoKQV
512Please respect copyright.PENANA3siY6EzZR1
怎麼變成這樣?512Please respect copyright.PENANA0YKpz4CSbX
512Please respect copyright.PENANAM8yVXM2BiX
他看起來好像終於可以放下身上所有重擔的感覺是怎麼回事?512Please respect copyright.PENANA153r52nTRX
512Please respect copyright.PENANABYfesUqjIp
這事情好像完全超出我所想的樣子耶?512Please respect copyright.PENANArXWMNXmWuo
512Please respect copyright.PENANAH1bmPPNcT9
「不,我要麻煩你做的事情,絕對不是『只有』這些,我認為你的閱歷對我而言非常重要,所以,一定要給足你所需要的,才能符合我心中所認定的交易。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAouw0C0wKON
512Please respect copyright.PENANAMjEwj3CA2D
莫拉瓦深呼吸幾口氣,把自己的情緒收歛好。512Please respect copyright.PENANAOB9RakBFiN
512Please respect copyright.PENANAyp1524hfDZ
「你同意和我交易嗎?」512Please respect copyright.PENANAaaDM7enjy4
512Please respect copyright.PENANAz1Mh6c5CXh
雖然我是滿頭問號,但是老人家看起來好像已經準備好接受我的指示,為了確定,我用一個做總結的方式問他。512Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ7DBqRRVf
512Please respect copyright.PENANALX2dWQx8hZ
「哼……既然給了我這麼重要的工作,你最好有所心理準備,這要價絕對很貴的!」512Please respect copyright.PENANAXtn5eeHgog
512Please respect copyright.PENANAbio2BiErYQ
「我期望看到物超所質的成果。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAyghXDr9Zms
512Please respect copyright.PENANAwKAWHisx9I
莫拉瓦望了一眼開心吃飯的喬奇。
「我希望那孩子可以幫忙我。」512Please respect copyright.PENANABZchypXYLT
512Please respect copyright.PENANA0ByYkIRgRx
「那是一定的,我不會把他給排除在外。」
說完,我把二重結界解開。512Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4fc8aOrXa
512Please respect copyright.PENANAXhe9wbFqDd
「爺爺,大人,你們不吃嗎?」512Please respect copyright.PENANAq89yn77O0Q
512Please respect copyright.PENANAVM5NPnLpZ1
在魔法的影響下,喬奇完全沒發現我們已經私下交談了一次,只是轉過頭這麼問道。512Please respect copyright.PENANARp9XXWrp4c
512Please respect copyright.PENANAtofD54uEOX
莫拉瓦點點頭,拿起其中一道餐點吃了起來,我則是沒有任何動作。512Please respect copyright.PENANA2PgMmlSz2I
512Please respect copyright.PENANANhmktCckVH
為什麼?我戴著全臉的面具啊,有這個面具在我是要怎麼吃東西?512Please respect copyright.PENANAYvInN9t7eP
512Please respect copyright.PENANAVHEXnHALIs
只能說失策,下次去做個半臉面具還是遮單眼的面具好了,不然完全沒辦法吃東西真是有夠痛苦。512Please respect copyright.PENANAJnBlmsLslk
512Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3FnxNJRDe
「那麼我現在做一次自我介紹,我是高等舊人類,名叫艾利法。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAaW4GhEwt2V
512Please respect copyright.PENANAg2B4BIETFQ
「我是莫拉瓦,如你所知,經營著迷幻泡沬。這孩子叫喬奇,是我的孫子兼學徒,目前當然一點也不成氣候。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAqWqHV9hOyI
512Please respect copyright.PENANA5kR0WIh6dx
被莫拉瓦這麼說著,喬奇雖然臉上有點不服氣,但是沒打算辯駁什麼,應該也是怕又被手杖敲頭吧。512Please respect copyright.PENANAbP27hJ1fVi
512Please respect copyright.PENANAXb240U87z6
「我希望你可以為我做窗口,但你們那間店不適合,我給你們一筆錢,這段時間內你們整理一下,去另外找一間適合的地方開店,想要任何器材或是道具就和我說。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAuL2JouOmt9
512Please respect copyright.PENANA6z0gNVMWFd
我拿出四枚戒指放在桌上,戒指上沒有任何裝飾,全都是一公分寬的金屬粗戒,差別只在於兩個是鐵製的,兩個是銅製的。512Please respect copyright.PENANAyr1Ofczcrf
512Please respect copyright.PENANA9fT2UvfgYs
「這個你們拿去戴著,我擔心有人會對和我接觸過的你們做出什麼事,鐵戒指是可以保護你們的護身戒,銅戒是可以喚出信使的召喚戒,想聯繫我的時候隨時可以用。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAk9tSK8t9Tw
512Please respect copyright.PENANAx7MmdgEije
莫拉瓦二話不說就把戒指戴上,喬奇遲疑了一下後才收下。512Please respect copyright.PENANAvYX4GZTvEQ
512Please respect copyright.PENANA9ys8SCVndd
「我居然會把這麼貴重的東西戴在身上……」512Please respect copyright.PENANACeAmH1joG0
512Please respect copyright.PENANAvYPuaHgfm4
「既然我們合作了,你們的性命就是非常重要的,這些戒指絕對不可以離身,才能全天候的保護你們。」
停頓了下來,我思考一會。
「考慮到你們只有兩個人,會不好整理你們的店面,等會回去之後,我給你們兩個魔像幫助你們整理,下達指示給它們就可以了,如果沒地方住,就用我給你的錢去住旅店。」512Please respect copyright.PENANALtB7BuJanb
512Please respect copyright.PENANAb6JZBjEQ2Q
「等、艾利法大人,我、我有事情想確認。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAoBWkeM8bcV
512Please respect copyright.PENANAgnsASPyiLs
喬奇突然間舉手打斷我,我只好停下來看著他。
「什麼事?」512Please respect copyright.PENANAPgGGKbavW1
512Please respect copyright.PENANABD5PGOU3xX
「魔像……魔像是那個吧?冒險者們在地下城裡會遇到的石頭魔像,巨大、粗壯,有很強的攻擊力……嗎?」512Please respect copyright.PENANAcMtJOAmyii
512Please respect copyright.PENANAWyjANx9Ly7
我點點頭。
「你的理解沒有錯誤。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAM0OEyJuUoy
512Please respect copyright.PENANAYfVX6OxtjM
少年立刻緊張起來。
「大人、不是我要說,但是……您也看過我們的店了,那麼大的魔像,您認為能夠進去我們的店面嗎?」512Please respect copyright.PENANAdKkRST194D
512Please respect copyright.PENANAYD0XoPXIJH
「我的魔像很輕巧,足夠你們的店面支撐。」512Please respect copyright.PENANALCVzlF3Aeu
512Please respect copyright.PENANALxlbwXiY13
說完之後,我看向莫拉瓦。
「你接下來要做的事情會非常多,我不希望累壞你,所以這瓶藥水去,一定要喝,確保你不會在中途累倒,這藥只要早上起床的時候喝這個杯子的量就足夠。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAvASvCMzkuX
512Please respect copyright.PENANArpiA0KGw3U
我拿出一瓶很像營養藥劑的瓶子給莫拉瓦,另外多給他一個寶特瓶蓋子大小的杯子,然後又拿出一包裝著錢的袋子。512Please respect copyright.PENANAssRgcMCf9F
512Please respect copyright.PENANA83ouVPpm3l
「明眼人肯定現在就知道我和你們接觸了,所以只要你感覺有任何問題,請務必要聯繫我,這筆錢你收著,不論是錢還是藥水不夠了,也都要通知我。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAgdke2IdYqA
512Please respect copyright.PENANARFpVhNxvTz
莫拉瓦拿過錢袋,看了裡頭一眼,接著深呼吸一口氣。512Please respect copyright.PENANA1KlLzYf1UZ
512Please respect copyright.PENANApclH3t7rNR
「另外開一間店可沒那麼快的時間,大人您大約一週後再和我們連絡吧,我會說明進度的。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAuvavtJQRja
512Please respect copyright.PENANAU3oVdISd5M
我點頭。
「喬奇,這段時間也會需要你做很多事,你有任何問題,也可以直接連絡我,別忘記了。」512Please respect copyright.PENANAgczzsSqYc7
512Please respect copyright.PENANAK8dyZ5mERa
「知、知道了!」512Please respect copyright.PENANAmbx5TXltBS
512Please respect copyright.PENANAhX2dvtiZkN
少年嚇了一大跳之後說道,莫拉瓦拿起他的手杖。512Please respect copyright.PENANAcISDalSsGP
512Please respect copyright.PENANAjPiTIy1bNd
「既然事情談好了,那我們就回去吧!今天開始立刻整理店面!」512Please respect copyright.PENANALQdyKlchU5
512Please respect copyright.PENANAwMTBWXZVsI
「欸?可是、爺爺!我們還沒吃完……噢!」512Please respect copyright.PENANAJaNfXGUbEw
512Please respect copyright.PENANAzcMavTH7jE
在喬奇又挨了一杖之後,我撤銷了原本設下的結界,起身走向吧台。512Please respect copyright.PENANAQTTKi5uxxz
512Please respect copyright.PENANAoERqZpPVA1
「客人,您要買單了嗎?」512Please respect copyright.PENANAsUaJmq3MFT
512Please respect copyright.PENANAr2mtHC3bJ6
我取出三枚金幣放到吧台上,讓服務生嚇了一跳。512Please respect copyright.PENANARTlE8SP9r1
512Please respect copyright.PENANA6BfX3NGxQc
「客人!這、這太多了,我們沒法找您……」512Please respect copyright.PENANADZhYEVZ4j8
512Please respect copyright.PENANAVxVyJUym1U
「我們來這裡用餐的事,希望你們別四處張揚。」512Please respect copyright.PENANApqaSQwFBIu
512Please respect copyright.PENANAb8GDnmbcsj
這句話說出來之後,在那裡的服務生們立刻就懂了我的意思,於是全員安靜下來,默默地目送我們離開。512Please respect copyright.PENANArsXTVU2SYn
512Please respect copyright.PENANAMeNErV0lJv
回到迷幻泡沬之後,我因為不想再進去那間店裡,所以在門口給他們三台魔像,吩咐魔像們完全聽從莫拉瓦的命令之後,我就借口有事往中央的市集區前進了。512Please respect copyright.PENANAYzd4R36s1A
512Please respect copyright.PENANAJaj0LuZjAY
好啦!512Please respect copyright.PENANAg4FrBwWnQx
512Please respect copyright.PENANAQeX2v7ESte
幸好剛才也沒有花上多少時間,現在還只過了午後的時間,我可以慢悠悠的閒逛囉!512Please respect copyright.PENANAIabSK9O9qk
