除了我們以外,另外兩國都各自派出兩支隊伍。由當地的冒險者協會挑選出一組隊伍,另一組則是藉由委託的方式貼出任務,讓冒險者們自由選擇。234Please respect copyright.PENANATV5I8nwvJL
234Please respect copyright.PENANAfnH0e6mRUw
帝國之所以會派出魔女討伐隊是因為三角群島除了向冒險者協會發出委託外,也有向魔法師協會請求協助。234Please respect copyright.PENANAoHTw4iKOWC
234Please respect copyright.PENANAhbMf9pnhMo
而我們只有一支隊伍貌似是沒有相對應可以幫忙的冒險者,只好由我們單獨來進行。234Please respect copyright.PENANAkWVepTzatD
234Please respect copyright.PENANAagUjPfBvgp
由於任務需要海賊魔女的幫忙,於是其他隊伍都來到海賊魔女目前所在的一角島。234Please respect copyright.PENANAgMI1YfNRKI
234Please respect copyright.PENANArkMFqGRxbF
先行抵達的隊伍為海國的兩支隊伍,首先到來的隊伍呈現傲氣,且隊伍成員皆是魚人,之後抵達的隊伍中,成員有魚人以及人魚,前者貌似有點看不起後者。234Please respect copyright.PENANAaXdlMqEn83
234Please respect copyright.PENANABxEz6JTcsJ
他們兩隊看見古拉皆出現驚訝的表情,不過很快就冷靜下來。234Please respect copyright.PENANAizth7yREaq
234Please respect copyright.PENANAHvV9BdRcpv
經過自我介紹了解平和態度的隊伍為前輩,並且是A級冒險者隊伍,卻因為種族混雜的關係,導致被身為後輩、傲氣十足的隊伍看不起。234Please respect copyright.PENANAORcUXOXOEk
234Please respect copyright.PENANAzhVxXczCbg
再來是龍國的隊伍,他們慢了約幾十分鐘,最有可能的原因是搭船,海棲種隊伍進來的時候,身體都有點濕答答,可能是直接游過來。234Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ675QNe8w
234Please respect copyright.PENANASdc5NyFyvS
龍國的隊伍剛好呈現與剛剛兩支隊伍的相同現象,只是這次任務對較低等級的一隊來說是考核升級的任務。234Please respect copyright.PENANApMuz0RWxM3
234Please respect copyright.PENANAZYiRbQd3ff
不過我對這些隊伍感到疑問,難道對他們來說,種族混雜在一起是不正常的事情嗎?234Please respect copyright.PENANAuQyHzKfNoU
234Please respect copyright.PENANAYpbPHOwqEl
等到大家齊聚以後,提到有關於黑白巨蛇的行動模式。234Please respect copyright.PENANASnJnRRP7r1
234Please respect copyright.PENANASfuqcfDVKz
黑白蛇的主要活動時間為早晨以及黃昏,由於要做事前的準備,決定將行動預備在早晨,比起黃昏,將戰鬥往後拖的情況下還能確保視線。234Please respect copyright.PENANAePmeT2BLxd
234Please respect copyright.PENANAqR77HXCzdX
對牠來說,整個三角群島皆是牠的領地,要對付牠的首要條件是必須得吸引到牠。234Please respect copyright.PENANAHdyD7eCtuC
234Please respect copyright.PENANASDLxfMGQUd
在講完前提,準備討論計畫內容該如何制定的時候。234Please respect copyright.PENANAz24yUn05vF
234Please respect copyright.PENANA2yq7QVnmtQ
「我們才不需要你們的協助。」唯有魚人種的隊伍率先離開。234Please respect copyright.PENANAKbhjdcSGtx
234Please respect copyright.PENANAU4qLfTHcXs
「團隊行動對於考核升級沒什麼幫助,我們會用自己的方式進行。」大概是貓獸人的隊伍用較為禮貌的語氣,說完點頭致意便離開。234Please respect copyright.PENANAmwaGERxFns
234Please respect copyright.PENANAuJNyP1guWX
「不好意思,我們這邊的年輕人比較控不住。」率先道歉的是A級冒險者隊伍「漆黑之牙」的隊長路夫,口中說著年輕人,不過外表只長個幾歲的感覺。234Please respect copyright.PENANAZrGWVDDram
234Please respect copyright.PENANA6u38viZLdh
符合冒險者的黝黑皮膚,在皮甲下隱約凸顯的精壯身材,俐落的短髮上有豎直的狗耳朵,還是狼呢?234Please respect copyright.PENANACWZPfmPA0S
234Please respect copyright.PENANANftff80BRI
沒有跟獸人種的人接觸過,不知道他們的年紀與人類差距多少,以人類的角度來看大概是二十幾歲。234Please respect copyright.PENANAeaPrDLIm4x
234Please respect copyright.PENANAih5czTjy4w
「雖然少了一些人的幫助對於任務可能會有影響,但是比起強迫他們一同進行,不如就這樣。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0GTDArtl7
234Please respect copyright.PENANAgWQuxGgQOK
路夫點點頭同意我說的。234Please respect copyright.PENANAsIszctksjK
234Please respect copyright.PENANACs8cLHRSdT
一旁A級冒險者「蒼海獵人」的隊長多浬安一同參與對話。234Please respect copyright.PENANAGKibp8i0jw
234Please respect copyright.PENANAZGQ52iNFgq
「不好意思,沒想到會引來如此強烈的反感。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAveBkwJTzl6
234Please respect copyright.PENANA8cvYzzJHJm
「我們都彼此彼此。」兩個隊伍相視而笑,對於被歧視的狀況好像見怪不怪。234Please respect copyright.PENANAiCryP8RM2g
234Please respect copyright.PENANAOSZUlRzoBR
與有著外向氣質的路夫不同,多浬安更多的是文靜,高挑偏瘦且皮膚較白,如果不說是冒險者,更像是文書作業人員。234Please respect copyright.PENANAG4an28wUnJ
234Please respect copyright.PENANAC4ksUe6d7Z
他身上的特徵與莎莉相似,有魚鰭在頭部兩旁,估計也是人魚種然後使用魔法,才有辦法在陸地上走動。234Please respect copyright.PENANATKnxc2kcUD
234Please respect copyright.PENANAUXEAEk8hGG
無心想團體作戰的人就不需要去理會,以在場三組人馬足以應付更多狀況。234Please respect copyright.PENANARF0c9w7lCX
234Please respect copyright.PENANA76g95FsNXE
除了我們以外,還有從中央島來的一個人。中央島是三角群島中位於中間的島,三個島個別會派出一些代表到中央島上,負責確認航線、稅率,在黑白巨蛇出現以後,開始蒐集黑白巨蛇的行動模式。234Please respect copyright.PENANANl3YLUqT9g
234Please respect copyright.PENANAfvllSLChwU
我們根據行動模式,正式決定將時間定在後天的早晨,地點為一角島上的西海岸,透過海賊魔女的魔法來吸引黑白巨蛇。234Please respect copyright.PENANA3ak146EbAC
234Please respect copyright.PENANAcgB8KDC3pV
我們互相說出隊伍內的能力討論如何配合,還有如何利用西海岸的海灣進行圍捕。當然,魔女的事情不會特別說出來,也能察覺到他們並未說出底牌。234Please respect copyright.PENANAYlVYx3nK8z
234Please respect copyright.PENANAbohC9ogNZW
以三個隊長為首擬定出不同的計畫方針,最後討論出一個主要計畫以及兩個備案。234Please respect copyright.PENANARGvdI99woT
234Please respect copyright.PENANA2v9OHNu5s9
「既然如此,沒問題,解散!」海賊魔女沒有在乎計畫詳細,不過這也很符合她的個性,不如讓她在必要時出力就好。234Please respect copyright.PENANAR2crJux2J2
234Please respect copyright.PENANAXdAb0qmYaQ
我們最後再確認一次便離開,他們說冒險者通常聚餐聊天是在完成任務大賺一筆,所以就不多打擾,而是回去做準備。234Please respect copyright.PENANAxiRNjlyyeV
234Please respect copyright.PENANA39jzfdAZeG
這也讓我知道冒險者之間果然有各式各樣的人。234Please respect copyright.PENANAu0KzJvRTIO
234Please respect copyright.PENANAabWmVp2y6m
~★~234Please respect copyright.PENANAtnW27LXgZz
234Please respect copyright.PENANAWkd36Yvsab
稍微吃過午餐後,根據老闆的推薦,我們借了幾支釣竿,坐在適當的岩石岸上垂釣,由提利康和莎莉稍微教導我們釣魚。234Please respect copyright.PENANA1GD48lZQH8
234Please respect copyright.PENANAZnFqd5acUP
為了避免垂釣太無聊,也準備了一些下酒菜以及酒來搭配。234Please respect copyright.PENANA9405MuAqXr
234Please respect copyright.PENANAe6QUjG7L1C
主要是我、優花梨以及提利康三人垂釣喝酒,另外幾人在石頭縫隙中抓捕生物,不知道可以抓到些什麼。234Please respect copyright.PENANAQKjwAFSKhe
234Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZXhqXNRdZ
我們買來的酒是一種當地特產,主原料是米以及麥釀製而成,再加上由海棲種提供的某種海中作物,最後出來的成品名為海酒,根據不同海域貌似還有不同風味的海酒,三角群島賣的叫東海酒。234Please respect copyright.PENANAu7sUEngwFg
234Please respect copyright.PENANA5jA6P9JrM9
我有好奇地詢問莎莉是否知道海中作物是什麼,然而莎莉表示不清楚,帶著幾分好奇以及擔心嘗試喝幾口。234Please respect copyright.PENANA91BtmARIzQ
234Please respect copyright.PENANAYczKrgVVNr
喝下去第一個感覺是辛辣以及鹹味,米麥的餘香在口中難以散去,彷彿掉入漩渦一般難以逃離,最後才帶來微弱的清甜。234Please respect copyright.PENANAK3wmyhQvR4
234Please respect copyright.PENANAeqgf4YhtN9
「這口味還真特別。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAYE0Sl4EKeS
234Please respect copyright.PENANA3qquAn9sd1
「很多人都這麼說,不過喝習慣後可能就停不下來。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAWBdoZzJ69u
234Please respect copyright.PENANAOHqSB7Ydos
「我覺得很好喝。」234Please respect copyright.PENANA5Dz3qIIWlL
234Please respect copyright.PENANAbUIzmzepdJ
優花梨黏著我,拿起瓶子大口豪飲。234Please respect copyright.PENANAfgHYx273x8
234Please respect copyright.PENANAhCU7gynoWK
「好喝的話慢慢品嚐,待在三角群島這段時間還有很多機會可以喝。」我順帶提醒優花梨不要喝太多,先訂下最多喝三瓶而已。234Please respect copyright.PENANAAzPYvb9RTW
234Please respect copyright.PENANApKCpXAQbux
「不能再多喝嗎?」234Please respect copyright.PENANAvXLnfTPf9Z
234Please respect copyright.PENANATsclzqrv2a
「不可以。」234Please respect copyright.PENANADuWNzoadUc
234Please respect copyright.PENANABxqNbE8J5I
在優花梨沮喪的時候,釣竿傳來動靜,提利康連忙提醒,優花梨趕緊抓緊釣竿,最後釣起一條小魚。234Please respect copyright.PENANAGKbAURfi53
234Please respect copyright.PENANAWHooPn1fpl
提利康將魚從釣竿上取下,目的是為了示範,隨後將魚放回大海。234Please respect copyright.PENANAY47IyQ6VnZ
234Please respect copyright.PENANAYDsOXHInp4
「我的配菜!」234Please respect copyright.PENANA4NkC801eWn
234Please respect copyright.PENANALX4eZrlNoI
「是為了生態嗎?」234Please respect copyright.PENANA8go8TAKrPE
234Please respect copyright.PENANAabIk7KvRkt
「嗯,那條魚太小了,留在海裡比較好,如果是大魚倒無所謂。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAH7AdoPMpQM
234Please respect copyright.PENANA7U8xh1cLKO
釣竿沒有動靜的時候,我們只能坐在原地等待,喝著酒聊聊天,被冷冷的海風不停吹著。234Please respect copyright.PENANAdDcdB6XuU6
234Please respect copyright.PENANAzO9xMrhTu5
優花梨直接黏緊緊,像是為了驅寒,不過相比炎熱,她明明就比較不怕冷。234Please respect copyright.PENANAXYs5Td90BX
234Please respect copyright.PENANAixpObK9mdo
過了一段時間,我們準備好的桶子內有四條比一整個手掌大的魚,其餘太小的通通放掉,不過這些都是靠提利康,他比我們更加熟悉釣魚。234Please respect copyright.PENANAXMZ3GkM50M
234Please respect copyright.PENANAlzYPo0jewu
古拉他們時不時會回來秀出戰利品,如果夠大就可以帶回去,另外一個桶子就放著戰利品,貌似是螃蟹、蚌殼之類的生物。234Please respect copyright.PENANA9olaJcRWCL
234Please respect copyright.PENANABigImrkhZ7
這段時間有點像是靜心冥想,不過喝了酒的緣故,可以感受到身體逐漸燥熱,注意力也有點渙散,在我覺得快睡著的時候,釣竿好像傳來陣陣晃動,我趕緊抓住釣竿用力一拉,卻沒辦法拉出海中的抵抗者。234Please respect copyright.PENANAHe8xbbTYAS
234Please respect copyright.PENANAapvuGPK7b0
我想呼喚優花梨幫忙,才發現剛剛黏著我的她其實正在打盹,提利康注意到趕緊過來幫忙。234Please respect copyright.PENANAObCkTsqH76
234Please respect copyright.PENANAwps5EzZwoO
在兩人用力之下,就算敵人再怎麼強大,依然被拉出海平面,然而看見是什麼東西不禁讓人笑出來。234Please respect copyright.PENANAM1oAelmsJa
234Please respect copyright.PENANAYfrT5Stwxh
鉤子上居然是一堆海草,估計是不小心纏到海草,只能慢慢解開。234Please respect copyright.PENANABG5XMgjYj5
234Please respect copyright.PENANA6jZaVdMH3E
「剛剛感覺妳快睡著了,現在看起來清醒多。」由於剛剛得借助提利康的力量,變成他坐在我身後。234Please respect copyright.PENANAVxpOd0aULa
234Please respect copyright.PENANAekXfSsLhad
「喝了點酒就有點想睡。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAaaTy6GBlH7
234Please respect copyright.PENANAbCXQXlZ3Ye
我慢慢解開海草,提利康還是沒有離開,而是像我的手,在輕弄我的頭髮。234Please respect copyright.PENANAtX6wVJLWrO
234Please respect copyright.PENANA6F6r4bfgqo
「好像有點打結。」提利康說道。234Please respect copyright.PENANAhBFcDust7M
234Please respect copyright.PENANADH5UHUGT7S
「多多少少會有一點。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAbyQYrJ9Mb0
234Please respect copyright.PENANAGaQoi0dFko
「女生保養頭髮也很累,下次我帶幾瓶受好評的護髮產品給妳。」234Please respect copyright.PENANARvcVYutRnI
234Please respect copyright.PENANAYn6kudO7FY
「謝謝。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAINYJRrDeYo
234Please respect copyright.PENANAHZNNckquh0
當我將海草清除乾淨後,提利康也停下手上的動作。234Please respect copyright.PENANAMlcoKz3l4P
234Please respect copyright.PENANAO3P1alhfMy
我往前移到剛剛釣魚的位置,提利康比起一開始坐到離我更近的地方。234Please respect copyright.PENANAoYyaxOWrDo
234Please respect copyright.PENANAqRuTl4lSlZ
我偏過頭不讓自己注意到提利康。234Please respect copyright.PENANAy7mCj1JZIm
234Please respect copyright.PENANA3N0fiL6dkk
果然,我內心的位置多少被動過,甚至有時候會冒出不如都要好了。234Please respect copyright.PENANAD7GMtkxHdV
234Please respect copyright.PENANAYoQ9bVa5a0
精神中的人格們對此好像都在吱吱喳喳,在討論誰比較好這件事,我只能漠視這些聲音。234Please respect copyright.PENANAIFrVCjEx6e
234Please respect copyright.PENANA5bYLg8sC2u
我扶起快要倒下的優花梨,讓她靠在我的左肩睡覺。234Please respect copyright.PENANAPv3R6xokLa
234Please respect copyright.PENANAbDqQgiRCji
確認不會倒後,準備去拿放在右邊的酒,提利康卻先行奪過。234Please respect copyright.PENANAJu4hRNQgqB
234Please respect copyright.PENANAUmMeVmxWBZ
「妳不能喝了。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAhmdesmGplT
234Please respect copyright.PENANASYBYBRt1xm
「我酒量沒這麼差,只是想睡覺而已。」234Please respect copyright.PENANA5TxSbevJxP
234Please respect copyright.PENANAMjflKpH6rs
提利康看準我會照顧優花梨,把酒保持在我伸手碰不到的距離。234Please respect copyright.PENANAAJyVvjjfYu
234Please respect copyright.PENANAzGbN9mMPzu
我故意露出生氣的表情,提利康倒是不懼怕,只是將酒放在一旁,並環看四周,隨後握住我的手。234Please respect copyright.PENANADn1YpoDWP9
234Please respect copyright.PENANA3RDK41FuWl
「這樣就不能拿酒了。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAuJQd58dkZV
234Please respect copyright.PENANAcMv8Yz5M49
「我想喝。」234Please respect copyright.PENANA2FbkhxZn8K
234Please respect copyright.PENANA1cdJzbqKmb
我沒有握住,只是放鬆下來,提利康多少察覺到我沒有想要牽手的意思。234Please respect copyright.PENANAhk28034unh
234Please respect copyright.PENANAI4uIF1H5Xf
「等等有人來我會放手。」234Please respect copyright.PENANACJOxkqQkL9
234Please respect copyright.PENANAWro6oJjrtY
「優花梨醒來也要。」234Please respect copyright.PENANACIOTYqKRGe
234Please respect copyright.PENANACvvVzhMFjl
「好。」234Please respect copyright.PENANA1fplDp4wFX
234Please respect copyright.PENANALyxrGFOzwj
語畢,提利康用另一隻手餵我喝酒,我還是比較想自己喝。234Please respect copyright.PENANAkilNOiLwmM
234Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZvLEyQk4L
過了一會,古拉他們依然還沒回來,釣竿也沒有傳來動靜,只是安靜地讓提利康有機會牽著我的手。
234Please respect copyright.PENANAHFpSFj70RM
男人的手果然比較大,他可以輕易地讓手指頭間相互碰觸,我卻沒辦法。234Please respect copyright.PENANAJtcW3kLKmu
234Please respect copyright.PENANA47lasthDuu
我將頭靠在優花梨的頭上。腦內的聲音好吵,讓我睡一下吧。234Please respect copyright.PENANAxblZSn8iNR
234Please respect copyright.PENANAg50qQZpXup
「隊長~隊長!」可愛的嗓音呼喚著我,我眨了眨眼睛,習慣一下陽光照射的光亮。234Please respect copyright.PENANAiHgC45lQtW
234Please respect copyright.PENANA0R7XFCW8en
「隊長流口水了。」古拉笑笑地說道,我抬起右手擦拭,發覺提利康已經不在附近。234Please respect copyright.PENANAVdUqrOTdY9
234Please respect copyright.PENANAoIdj1uCGJI
手中的溫度已經消失,但是觸感好像還殘留著。234Please respect copyright.PENANAgxVpkJ7Lbm
234Please respect copyright.PENANAJyyFA9PrLC
「大豐收。」夏興奮地拿著兩個桶子,有各種海鮮在裡頭,已經不太能分辨有什麼。234Please respect copyright.PENANAjiSs1an0S0
234Please respect copyright.PENANAjKYH3yrN1z
「提利康呢?」我詢問在一旁的莎莉。234Please respect copyright.PENANAX69tsg323u
234Please respect copyright.PENANAxo6jYqUQKH
「他跑去旁邊,他說那邊搞不好能釣到更大隻的魚。」234Please respect copyright.PENANAKGdzRShFaA
234Please respect copyright.PENANAbsDFbgotuk
我往莎莉比的方向看並未看到人影,應該是在人來之前就先離開。234Please respect copyright.PENANA4x1BGZNZqm
234Please respect copyright.PENANA7AeUc0zFOm
稍微睡過後,不論是思緒還是精神都恢復許多,這才注意到一件事情。234Please respect copyright.PENANAoeygKPEeNd
234Please respect copyright.PENANAUcnpm3MtBv
優花梨的魔法是透過喝下的酒來獲得某種能力,如果是海酒的話,會是什麼能力呢?234Please respect copyright.PENANAfTQDxKSzmO
234Please respect copyright.PENANA8LWq2RHPrR
於是我請莎莉帶我們去合適的淺水區測試。234Please respect copyright.PENANArkoOhVNpTo
234Please respect copyright.PENANAIOv7smzUe4
到達後,我讓優花梨試試看對水做些什麼,看看有什麼影響力。234Please respect copyright.PENANAKujjPr5yg6
234Please respect copyright.PENANAzLUilzreP3
優花梨面對海水的冰涼沒有抗拒,蹲下身朝著海面潑了潑水,瞬間激起一個海浪。234Please respect copyright.PENANAFuAOdQE4rx
234Please respect copyright.PENANAcCfrbBLUev
優花梨不敢置信地看著自己的手,我繼續讓她測試。234Please respect copyright.PENANAwBxezIqzNt
234Please respect copyright.PENANAS9glwHVP3l
最後的結果是體能貌似沒什麼提升,反倒是對水增加許多能力,輕微的動作就可以輕鬆引起波瀾。234Please respect copyright.PENANABcaWLdCrHd
234Please respect copyright.PENANAWkaYbNtJHh
不只如此,水還可以暫時被抓起,就像是魔力一般控制,只不過量很少。234Please respect copyright.PENANAJIk8TicxMv
234Please respect copyright.PENANAldz1YsiDk4
古拉看見優花梨的能力,隨即衝下海利用魔法跟她玩起來,我還來不及阻止,兩人開始互相以海浪的方式攻擊彼此來嬉戲。234Please respect copyright.PENANAYdLcJd88FP
234Please respect copyright.PENANAWJYJAnm58A
雖然這裡溫度比起王都暖許多,但我還是擔心他們會感冒。234Please respect copyright.PENANAm2wcAONjsd
234Please respect copyright.PENANAdO4sHWynGx
等到兩人玩累後,我趕緊使用魔法令兩人身體轉為溫暖。234Please respect copyright.PENANAW0WTonQcsO
234Please respect copyright.PENANAOlvvVA6htl
當兩人身體逐漸乾燥下來,天色也緩慢變暗,我們決定趁現在返回。234Please respect copyright.PENANAgC8uDWEQDa
234Please respect copyright.PENANAdeNMKtuDG0
將這些食材委託廚師幫我們料理,再叫上一些菜,晚餐便簡單的解決。234Please respect copyright.PENANAWalbQyId73
234Please respect copyright.PENANAk8mxizLXmt
明天一早我決定先去探查地形,所以早早入睡。
