魔獸爭鬥的情況遠比我想像的還要嚴重許多。329Please respect copyright.PENANAV2K2PNms2b
329Please respect copyright.PENANAzXZo5bAQNC
進入平原之後,即使我們所行走的方向是守衛隊所選出最為安全的路線,才只是前進不到一小時的時間,就已經遭遇數十次的魔獸攻擊。329Please respect copyright.PENANAz71utnWkcH
329Please respect copyright.PENANAVR5bCu6NgB
牠們並不是前仆後繼地不斷衝上來送死,而是像狩獵一樣,有系統、有組織,會判斷局勢那樣向我們發起攻擊。329Please respect copyright.PENANACobmwy0TNT
329Please respect copyright.PENANA75WQS5pBej
而一旦發現不是我們的對手之後,又會相當迅速的撤退。329Please respect copyright.PENANApB8zTrAidT
329Please respect copyright.PENANAyvHnU1tpc3
怪不得守衛隊的人沒辦法獨自處理這種事情。329Please respect copyright.PENANAKGC849lAb8
329Please respect copyright.PENANA07G4OZiCtq
不管守衛隊他們再厲害,也不可能追著撤退的魔獸們打下去,甚至我也注意到,撤退離開的魔獸群並不是再也不會回來攻擊,牠們居然在撤退後只要重整五分鐘左右,就會再度捲土重來!329Please respect copyright.PENANAoHkEIvEG25
329Please respect copyright.PENANAmfx6eoak2o
照這種模式,就算他們成功調用軍隊的幫助,也不可能解決這一次的事件。329Please respect copyright.PENANAHFqaR7oPPk
329Please respect copyright.PENANAJMDKRNHkbk
「到底有完沒完……喂,你就不能做點什麼一勞永逸的事情嗎?」329Please respect copyright.PENANAItN6u6yJaU
329Please respect copyright.PENANAThTpSaDTPT
這段路程走不到一半的時間,路易就已經表現出不耐煩的模樣,不過他還是忍到現在,在隊伍不得不停下來休息的時候,才跑過來跟我抱怨。329Please respect copyright.PENANABGUiW6PXVP
329Please respect copyright.PENANAU6TevD32xW
「我必須維持完整的生態平衡,否則不論做什麼事,都不可能一勞永逸的。」329Please respect copyright.PENANATzmldnOGX6
329Please respect copyright.PENANAc605rcXoA3
我架起一個巨大的結界,讓疲憊的隊員們可以好好休息,才對路易解釋,他看起來很不滿,但是似乎因為能理解我所說的話,所以沒有說出更多抱怨。329Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7vdcmwItr
329Please respect copyright.PENANAlJxba1oz4q
「沒有想到特魯迪平原的情況會嚴重到這種地步,如果不是大人的加入,就算我申請到神殿人員的支援,也絕對沒辦法走到平原的內部。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAwbvo4G4v4Q
329Please respect copyright.PENANA39n9OgQd81
把成員們的事情整頓結束,亞岱爾也走到我這邊對我說著想法,我望向一旁守衛隊的隊長,他的表情看起來也和亞岱爾一樣,想要把調查的突破口放在我身上。329Please respect copyright.PENANAdMihCww5Jk
329Please respect copyright.PENANAFBINSHbsii
但是現在我也一點頭緒都沒有啊……329Please respect copyright.PENANAUCeJUXs9mu
329Please respect copyright.PENANAuIH5zQrhL7
這些魔獸們完全沒有瘋狂的跡象,在成群狩獵的模式下也不像是受到控制而盲目的攻擊,我察覺不到任何導致牠們出現攻擊性的外力魔法,感覺上,這些爭鬥全是出自於魔獸們本能的意願而出現的。329Please respect copyright.PENANA9036HscD8Y
329Please respect copyright.PENANAslRG8M0WLK
「你們……能大概推測這個區域的爭鬥,是為了什麼而展開嗎?」329Please respect copyright.PENANAmFYEFGgKEz
329Please respect copyright.PENANA5u6JgX1KJ3
作為調查團的核心成員們都圍到我這裡,並且坐下休息後,我才開口這麼問道。329Please respect copyright.PENANAmI0cnxoPBE
329Please respect copyright.PENANA4q1yjgUXCs
聽到我的問題,大家相互望了望,最後由守衛隊隊長帶頭說起。329Please respect copyright.PENANAJcHPoqsJsI
329Please respect copyright.PENANA66WH8gsP8M
「唯一會引起魔獸爭鬥的原因,大多都是為了地盤、或是配偶,地盤的爭奪基本就是未來整個群體的優良生長環境,但是特魯迪平原這麼大,牠們沒道理這時候突然為了整個平原打起來。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAjt5ZSkgxfp
329Please respect copyright.PENANASfdJtAaFtb
「況且,地盤的爭奪,只要一方敗退而逃跑,就已經奠定了接下來的統治者,我從來沒見過想現在這樣,撤退後又再度來挑戰的情況。」329Please respect copyright.PENANA7VOvKlpm9J
329Please respect copyright.PENANAvcIhJKhqJN
他這樣說完,同樣作為守衛隊、瞭解平原生態的其他人都同意的點頭。329Please respect copyright.PENANA6Wox9RL8oO
329Please respect copyright.PENANAjHJCBWG9mB
「所以一開始,我們是猜測,會不會是有什麼邪神在平原內部興風作浪,逼退了那些魔獸,使牠們不得不在外圍進行爭奪。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAQkO2qH3FIn
329Please respect copyright.PENANAbm82D9rDd7
我搖搖頭,邪神的手段沒有那麼溫和,還會讓牠們有辦法跑到外面來生活,祂絕對是把所有能掌控的生物都吸收到自己手下的。329Please respect copyright.PENANAIsz0PB7igD
329Please respect copyright.PENANAe2vBmhXfkb
「那就是牠們在爭奪的東西,主要不是這個區域,只是剛好關係到這個區域吧?」329Please respect copyright.PENANAzKwDUbcABL
329Please respect copyright.PENANArUqUlTDnnR
路易在這時候開口,雖然他不是這次會議的主要成員,但因為算是我在照顧的人,所以他們也讓他參與這個臨時討論。329Please respect copyright.PENANAjMTdYORg0N
329Please respect copyright.PENANAHfhQpVyK7z
不過有他在,我認為他比較能夠擴展我們的思考方向。329Please respect copyright.PENANAp6QrB7ZGqc
329Please respect copyright.PENANA457UUGerac
「這是一個不錯的思考模式。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAPRvap35BqQ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAra8MbbreKC
我主動開口,讓路易可以繼續說下去。329Please respect copyright.PENANAnfp173alAU
329Please respect copyright.PENANAwhEvzEq8d8
「因為我不覺得這次的事件跟邪神有什麼關係,相信現在的大家想法也一樣,我在想,搞不好是那裡冒出來什麼東西,可以讓那些魔獸受益,所以牠們才會開始爭奪。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAIBf9CDgpl2
329Please respect copyright.PENANAXCeWDWYFa8
聽著路易的話,我低頭思考起來,老實說,這個猜測很符合目前的情況,但問題就在這個地方。329Please respect copyright.PENANAaa32XtVkNb
329Please respect copyright.PENANALitaBHWvm4
我們要怎麼在這麼大一個平原裡面,找到那個魔獸們爭奪的東西?329Please respect copyright.PENANALdb4MfYw2u
329Please respect copyright.PENANArEl6eIJEn5
……沒辦法了,做實驗吧,生物實驗。329Please respect copyright.PENANASV3dmzv0bL
329Please respect copyright.PENANAT0fIjk40eI
「……抓一隻起來。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAz3ML9HcNf8
329Please respect copyright.PENANAs5Sq0Big3I
我這麼說道,不過他們沒聽懂我在說什麼,個個一臉疑惑但看著我。329Please respect copyright.PENANAAbEFkzUTnW
329Please respect copyright.PENANAUS4Yzrrd5t
「再猜測下去也只會陷入無限循環,我決定直接抓一隻魔獸來解析,了解牠們身上究竟發生什麼事。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAgvU4lv7QYf
329Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8DSaT1LYm
我這麼一說完,在場成員們面面相覷,也不知道是贊同還是反對,不過我也沒打算理會這陣沉默,不講話我就當你們都沒意見了。329Please respect copyright.PENANAn1xwAc9ot2
329Please respect copyright.PENANAwFhKSKrZEN
於是我站起來,逕自往結界的邊緣走過去,而一起開會的成員們見到我走動起來,自然也不敢擅自離開,於是全員都往我身後跟過來。329Please respect copyright.PENANAisuLng75wF
329Please respect copyright.PENANARcmM9vv2o1
我的結界設置了生物驅離,所以不會在隊員們休息的時候在外面虎視眈眈,一走到邊緣後,我立刻修改結界的設定,引誘附近的魔獸們過來。329Please respect copyright.PENANA2gsPKoh926
329Please respect copyright.PENANAT0G7rbPxoY
正好附近區域裡有一群尖嘯獅,牠們一感受到生物的存在之後,立刻整群都衝過來,想要把我們給擊退,見到這樣都反應,我開始覺得路易的猜測可能沒有錯了。329Please respect copyright.PENANAHnfbN4ssZx
329Please respect copyright.PENANADWnIY1BjE6
因為牠們不是想要把我們趕盡殺絕,牠們跟我們一樣,也只是想要把我們趕走,不是想要殺褥、也不是想要進食。329Please respect copyright.PENANAMu90MMKMEb
329Please respect copyright.PENANAEUQxykQ8Pw
這種時候就更必須抓一隻來實驗看看得到是哪裡有問題了。329Please respect copyright.PENANAxWGrvdC5wk
329Please respect copyright.PENANAQWG4NNawlL
……是說,這幾隻尖嘯獅是不是長的特別大隻?329Please respect copyright.PENANAX6Ovb8Dam7
329Please respect copyright.PENANA1jLb6llIfw
雖然說老虎本來就很大隻了,但是這一些……根本是比牛還要大隻了吧!329Please respect copyright.PENANAvjlyPxEneq
329Please respect copyright.PENANA0po5wnnzDf
好詭異,這該不會也是跟牠們所爭奪的東西有關吧?329Please respect copyright.PENANAdOuqpVYfYl
329Please respect copyright.PENANA1rJHv3MWZg
我先利用龍壓震懾這些凶猛的生物,接著使用馴服技能,那幾十頭兇殘的尖嘯獅立刻溫馴的跟貓咪一下,整群在我面前乖乖趴下。329Please respect copyright.PENANAonXiW5dIYZ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAy3Ymst5wos
「你真的是一個很誇張的傢伙。」329Please respect copyright.PENANATadE8eOHwY
329Please respect copyright.PENANAZqWkff2P2g
走在後面的路易直接對我吐槽,少囉唆,有本事你自己也去當那些神的跑腿啊!329Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1A3C8941n
329Please respect copyright.PENANAzJZXCg9hrv
「艾利法大人……這也許不是我的錯覺……牠們是不是……比原本應有的體現要大了許多?」329Please respect copyright.PENANA9rThSEn74i
329Please respect copyright.PENANAQraOtprtxG
其中一個守衛隊的成員忍不住問道。329Please respect copyright.PENANAuA2sxT3iWx
329Please respect copyright.PENANAm6PfmtpJGu
「你沒有想錯,牠們確實大了一倍以上。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAa9CkZNO0TY
329Please respect copyright.PENANAZ893AXvXRW
我抬手在臣服的尖嘯獅身上釋放魔法,開始掃描牠們身上是得到了什麼,才會成長成現在這個樣子。329Please respect copyright.PENANAJRxZUmbYJP
329Please respect copyright.PENANAtDetQctiVt
……有點奇怪。329Please respect copyright.PENANAuhlHRNDqFr
329Please respect copyright.PENANAwCeHW8DRRR
我忍不住這樣想著。329Please respect copyright.PENANAcCku2030Hs
329Please respect copyright.PENANAMRMB4dwbm9
「查到什麼了?」329Please respect copyright.PENANAgskyWQa8LJ
329Please respect copyright.PENANARa2qs4zBu2
直到我聽見路易的聲音之後才回過神。329Please respect copyright.PENANAMg6ZeGumCZ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAWOs1ysrBUs
「牠們的身體裡面有種東西在促使牠們成長。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAeyTSs4KNE4
329Please respect copyright.PENANAv7yQgkCVE3
「哈?」329Please respect copyright.PENANASYmxINhilh
329Please respect copyright.PENANAwDtkXk8EsM
我看向路易那張什麼都聽不懂的表情,呃……要怎麼講才能讓他們可以聽懂?329Please respect copyright.PENANAQUzSyXGYLL
329Please respect copyright.PENANA75d9OjHEb9
「有一種原本不屬於牠們體內應有的……能量,在無形的改變牠們的身體力量,但是那股能量不是魔法、但與魔法的形態非常相似,它是……一種我無法理解的物質……」329Please respect copyright.PENANAAsP46NkPfg
完蛋,這樣講有人能懂嗎?329Please respect copyright.PENANAESdqgt3GkZ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAwMIxytDta2
「你是說,有一種不是魔法的東西使牠們產生異變?」329Please respect copyright.PENANAn5aXMjnM8z
329Please respect copyright.PENANAIPfRdQUOWS
好,謝謝你,路易,從今以後,我認命你成為我的翻譯官。329Please respect copyright.PENANAv9iUajf2vi
329Please respect copyright.PENANA1qxI8Ezy2m
「可以這樣說。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAVJiRUWk2V8
329Please respect copyright.PENANAsNwYXLSk1M
聽懂我在是什麼之後,旁邊那些隊員們開始著急了。329Please respect copyright.PENANAAEtjoZFGmQ
329Please respect copyright.PENANA1VEauv1Fnc
「大人!您能夠查出那個異變的來源是什麼嗎?」329Please respect copyright.PENANA74knSvyD2x
329Please respect copyright.PENANAtaClJMhjDR
「我試過了,但有些困難。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAHitgIECYCf
329Please respect copyright.PENANAlUrPT6gI5K
因為不是魔法的關係,我沒辦法追蹤能量的來源,這很讓我困擾。329Please respect copyright.PENANAQUjS2ZEz9V
329Please respect copyright.PENANAllEHEfx0rC
「不能像之前一樣用那什麼、信號基地台找嗎?」329Please respect copyright.PENANAeeinwJOIY7
329Please respect copyright.PENANAYmrEHs62ev
「不能,它不是那種能量。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAdlz9rvdvmM
329Please respect copyright.PENANAOJkdKZ4LrA
你也是很會講一些奇怪的話啊,路易。329Please respect copyright.PENANApFw01YhYZ6
329Please respect copyright.PENANAEDpGKtQRT5
「我現在試試看,能不能讓牠們來帶領我們過去牠們想要搶奪的地區,也許可以找到一點線索也說不定。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAZi9cgZAlEh
329Please respect copyright.PENANAOQr400sSIM
帶隊的亞岱爾和守衛隊領隊分別點頭,同意我的決定,我正想要動作的時候,路易突然又開口。329Please respect copyright.PENANAgvVYGHqsqz
329Please respect copyright.PENANANJDbPZZzcY
「你確定走近平原中心還要帶著他們嗎?」329Please respect copyright.PENANAqNfElb6TUd
329Please respect copyright.PENANAttsOCsY9N6
嗯?這孩子在說什麼?329Please respect copyright.PENANANyXfZQVS4N
329Please respect copyright.PENANA7wcYMMbDFA
我轉頭看向他,結果正好看到他一臉不耐煩的模樣……臭小鬼。329Please respect copyright.PENANAfrHamifjJQ
329Please respect copyright.PENANAr2WRIiI9np
「我說,你自己也不確定這裡造成問題的是什麼東西吧?還要帶著這些絆腳石去礙事嗎?」329Please respect copyright.PENANAhUQ0BMWZaV
329Please respect copyright.PENANAFk6TKxW3Zq
你就……不能幫其他人留點面子嗎?329Please respect copyright.PENANANXNs3Eg3Wg
329Please respect copyright.PENANAdXz3NF7EZz
雖然說你的想法確實有注意的必要性,但是也不用講的這麼難聽吧……329Please respect copyright.PENANAmMcGbZxej4
329Please respect copyright.PENANAfCgvt4ffLO
算了這種事根本不能期待。329Please respect copyright.PENANA6QxzbouP3j
329Please respect copyright.PENANAqlnuARidQs
「亞岱爾,你認為呢?」329Please respect copyright.PENANApMvHbZjozX
329Please respect copyright.PENANAbnebPniwq7
有路易這樣提醒之後,我確實也覺得不能再讓這些人跟著,但畢竟他們還是負責這裡安全的人,我想還是聽聽他們的意見再決定比較好。329Please respect copyright.PENANA5eQf9s71av
329Please respect copyright.PENANAaFI10SOKZR
守衛隊的人不理解路易,可能會因為被惹怒而說出些感情用事的話,但是亞岱爾知道路易,也就能理解我話中的意思了,至少不是讓我再一次給他們打擊。329Please respect copyright.PENANAUulAscxAuA
329Please respect copyright.PENANA3mwM9Z2OhP
「如果真的發生什麼事件,我們無法確保所有人都能夠安全的離開平原。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAPRYWg4Cl9t
329Please respect copyright.PENANAgazvnkO5vt
亞岱爾果然明白我的意思,馬上就幫大家找了一個台階下。329Please respect copyright.PENANApbF3KKendk
329Please respect copyright.PENANA7XHgpYOJne
他一開口,周邊那些隊員們便一同看著他。329Please respect copyright.PENANACGUZ42BhUI
329Please respect copyright.PENANApt9TXuGUq1
「各位,安全起見,特魯狄平原的調查就交給艾利法大人吧?」329Please respect copyright.PENANAOpUUqziCrS
329Please respect copyright.PENANADXbTgQ0rrF
雖然成員們看起來不是很滿意亞岱爾的決定,但是這整個調查團裡面有八成人員都是冒險者,而他們是因為請託才自願過來的,再怎麼說都不好拒絕他的決定。329Please respect copyright.PENANAURnXGElu0j
329Please respect copyright.PENANALYoqSXIzFn
因此雖然不滿,守衛隊的人們還是勉強同意了這個決定。329Please respect copyright.PENANAHpwtwki1Qo
329Please respect copyright.PENANAfQfkAlgtnw
「塞克利,你護送團員們回到平原邊緣,再回來和我們回合。」329Please respect copyright.PENANAI5lFc2XEx6
329Please respect copyright.PENANAKP5IYphntb
在我下達指令之後,我讓路易和芮妮,還有我家的尤納留下來,目送著調查離開視線之後,才接著繼續前進。329Please respect copyright.PENANAx2OgCtCdli
