最美麗的永夜女王，看起來是位二十歲左右的少女，實際上應該已經有了上千年的生命了。
花了三天的時間，一行人終於走出了那片單調而沉悶的山谷。映入眼簾的，是一座濃密而壓迫的森林。林木高聳入雲，枝葉層層交疊，宛若一張無邊無際的黑幕，將天光死死擋住。河谷中潺潺流淌的溪流，也在森林邊緣被幽暗吞噬，消失得無影無蹤。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI4GUUzBZP
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPCkRhLXtM
夸斯特緩緩環視四周：前方，是一眼望不到盡頭的黑森林；而身後，則是由山谷延伸出的兩道陡峭山壁，猶如巨獸張開的血盆大口，將出口牢牢咬住。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9ith6HAry
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofTNTDaZUn
山壁下方佈滿了嶙峋怪石與蜿蜒曲折的支流，路徑險惡，幾乎無法通行。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy2gYi4tAb
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPijXXhb2fH
夸斯特低頭查看地圖，與泰倫斯、公主一同商討前路。然而，地圖上同樣只是一片密密麻麻的綠海，毫無明確的地標。仿佛這座森林本身，便是專為迷失而存在的陷阱。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwME4Nznn0
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUL9qa0BCI
沉默良久，夸斯特終於嘆了口氣，緩緩開口：「看來，只有進森林了。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxK3RYu3mr
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LBetBCXde
這句話，猶如一顆重錘，敲在眾人心頭。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYblocuA3m
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtBuuGFdEq
因為沒有人知道，在那濃稠如墨的暗影深處，會藏著怎樣未知的恐懼。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHFJisQzrR
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh6zfECZmH
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo6K9ZEWWT
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Gd01ifM3
夸斯特最終做出決斷，帶領隊伍深入森林。這次，由塔庫魯與泰倫斯擔任前鋒。一來仰仗泰倫斯豐富的野外經驗，二來，塔庫魯近來的表現，已經贏得了全隊的信任。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c4TJH16kb
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wz51YQEY6
然而，這永夜森林的地形遠超預期，崎嶇難行，藤蔓與樹根盤踞地面，稍不留神便會絆倒。僅第一個小時，伊莉莎就摔了三次，連她那慣常的從容神色也染上幾分狼狽。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEIzb5DRny
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOvgZ9RIhc
藤蔓橫生、濕滑的苔蘚，與突兀冒出的根莖交織成天然的陷阱，每一步都充滿險惡。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ743KLHnqTU
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto2RVXzztq
大約二十分鐘後，塔庫魯心頭一緊——他感覺到了一股隱晦的視線，像是無形的絲線般纏繞在隊伍周圍。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOflU2QIk5G
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBTAL0Gea5
而且，這並非來自單一方向，而是從四面八方，越聚越多，如同密林中的潛伏者，靜靜等待獵物落入網中。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGCqOyZMAG
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcIHvhj4Ds
塔庫魯立刻將異狀告知泰倫斯。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXcPDUJeMA
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXWeQ4N2fr
泰倫斯當機立斷，揮手示意全隊停下，蹲下身仔細觀察。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWzuUGg7Av
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniytjp4xmd
然而四周靜悄悄，除了濃重的黑影與間或飄過的霧氣，什麼異樣也無從察覺。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztgPm4SQCh
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdcOEal7zx
泰倫斯搖了搖頭，輕聲示意：「小心戒備，但先繼續前進。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDP39hrj5F
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyW6gQS2N3
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SX3TH529D
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cjEgPvJ7E
不到十分鐘後，隊伍前方，兩棵粗壯的古樹之間，懸掛著一塊扁牌。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLZZmOVDAJ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC8NPRsGhR
牌面斑駁古舊，藤蔓纏繞，但隱約可見奇異的紋路。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiFFhAwT9P
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldbuDSSY3m
塔庫魯一眼認出，這種標誌他並不陌生——正是先前當他被金獅國追擊時，誤入禁地時所見到的相同款式的標牌！284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAjuq7gUDF
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUopSbPuuo
唯一不同的是，這塊扁牌上，刻著更加繁複且陌生的文字。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA43ErpWAA
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnRU5eTolP
泰倫斯臉色一變，立刻揮手令全隊停下，並蹲伏於地。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY5uSzEseg
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bv6HDJd6Q
氣氛霎時凝重，連空氣都像是被拉緊了弦。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nK8vyFctK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcqXpkVYq9
夸斯特快步上前，壓低聲音：「怎麼回事？天神族的標牌為何出現在這？」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVPcDqVUui
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb5nfFPyze
泰倫斯沒有答話，只是從懷中掏出地圖，指向上頭一片標記著「永夜森林」的陰影地帶。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUdM5OihDd
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiALPgMzMD5
夸斯特看了一眼，隨即點點頭表示意會，來到永夜森林，代表這趟任務還有希望完成，情況還不算太壞。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuXcDfRUPo
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJXswqZhBA
現在的問題是：要怎麼走出這個濃密的永夜森林？284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5yl0by55O
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI5I672WZJ
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HUgIUXdeI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf2CMle7wa
他深吸一口氣，剛欲轉身向後方報告，異變驟生——284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSUK10DHwY
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV5mP4ybZV
從四周密林之中，突然竄出數十名手持長矛的神秘人影！284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXf1dXjWSK9
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Lacsnu2W
動作迅捷如獵豹，轉眼便將隊伍團團圍住。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrm083DUZ5
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxgEV99u5J
每一支長矛，寒光凜凜，筆直指向眾人心臟。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGSII0oE3z
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWVQjmstTL
即便是身經百戰的夸斯特，也被這突如其來的包圍震得舉起雙手，不敢輕舉妄動。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfChstcpeS
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQNCk260Qf
一行人驚魂未定，只能任憑這群異族人將他們牢牢控制。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt9iAFYB92
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE97Ha0GR0K
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsCaQNeve3
冷靜下來後，夸斯特細觀這群人。不同於過去所見的天神族形象，他們身披墨綠長袍與斗篷，與森林融為一體，手中的長矛亦仿若由翠綠之木精雕而成，隱隱泛著詭異光澤，顯然非凡鐵所鑄。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjB8ipEgGO
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPtVmCBxqb
領頭的是一位氣質冷峻的女性天神族，她的目光如同寒星般掃視全隊，聲音平靜卻充滿不容抗拒的威嚴：「沒想到，竟還有人類膽敢闖入永夜森林……罕見。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSiicliO4g
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6oK9MHP2N
她微微一笑，笑意卻未達眼底。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MUrZjzBPw
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabckcFqF0q
「不過既然來了，便是客人。請隨我來。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotfz31kqPK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuImg7tkowH
話音落下，其餘天神族人整齊收矛，動作乾淨俐落，宛如訓練有素的軍團。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtnORuq0Sz
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAquppJ3pGU
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZQ0pQzHoF
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxXzbfSGDh
女性隊長一個手勢，便有數名天神族士兵上前走在前頭，引導隊伍。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjvJFT7O8i
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRaIQ2gu7Z
夸斯特與公主交換了個眼神，迅速默契達成一致。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpovpgqFGI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2N6pWO2QI
他對塔庫魯和泰倫斯打了個手勢，示意他們配合行動。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw4KgBEt54
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwXBG1MlDl
一行人被天神族護衛著，緩緩走入那片幽暗無盡的森林深處——284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjeuOIMYjO
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJFqhmcxZS
塔庫魯一邊行走，一邊警覺地打量四周。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEuYPJPffp
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GIyJ58gN2
這片森林比任何地方都要壓抑。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhIVT81yCS
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ncGQzdgfN
枝葉如巨獸血肉，藤蔓猶如盤踞的蛇群。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLhve9TjFh
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRtAWeMR6T
天空被完全遮蔽，四周瀰漫著濃稠的黑霧，仿佛連時間也在這裡停滯不前。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcynX7MCwGB
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwjRtKjyOX
耳邊傳來模糊不清的低語，像是森林本身在竊竊私語。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDXzM0epg0
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL4T9SzhCe
腳步聲落地時，竟也被這片暗影吞噬，不留一絲回響。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yjYbeMCcT
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYt8OYQkvV
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUek5FHwFfA
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK0Dg6baxo
而突然間，穿越一片林間空地，塔庫魯發現——前方，數十名天神族戰士列隊而立，持矛戒備，宛若雕像。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gcPovNfsp
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaa0OhLKf2
塔庫魯心頭一緊，握緊鐵斧，卻見女隊長輕揮手臂，戰士們整齊收矛，分立兩側，讓出一條通道。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf3gZvQNEj
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFyWMfYm9A
她回頭，對塔庫魯與泰倫斯微微頷首，臉上隨即恢復冷峻之色，女隊長一個揮手，戰士們無聲無息地讓開一條筆直通道。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zf8GeVCis
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfPY0klKn6
動作如同機械般整齊，一絲不苟。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3WefzMa3c
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT0z9ULLsh
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsHwYPIA3a
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUazi4K6EQ
隊伍在引領下穿越一條藤蔓纏繞的小徑，沿途，天神族人從草叢、樹蔭中冒出，數量越來越多。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASdNAW4LoK
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Dn1QiQiQ
他們隱匿於草叢、盤根樹影之間，冷冷注視著這群異鄉人，眼神中充滿了警惕與探究，就像在觀看一群奇異的異界生物。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW4I5UomxI
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcFSqIhaHq
塔庫魯被盯得渾身不自在，暗自吐槽：這感覺，簡直像進了動物園，還得自費當展品！284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSkJDodCWy
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ6EhANdWj
終於，在一片被藤蔓和奇花包圍的空地中央，一座自然編織而成的巨大帳幕矗立。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxjlgV5DRa
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pKJFqiJyU
冷峻女隊長輕掀帷幕，做了個「請」的手勢。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDWQVIvitW
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSbEBLGSO8
塔庫魯等人踏入其中，只見帳內光線柔和，空氣中瀰漫著淡淡的花香。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlL6mhdV98
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrahmaw1NjU
正中央，一位氣質高貴的女子端坐於木製王座之上。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2ckzbFDKL
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu1NRfp6q6
她一身繡滿繁複花紋的長袍，周圍奇花環繞，猶如神祇降臨人間。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSHGgzFKIj
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnPXmaWiVG
那雙深邃如夜空的眼眸，靜靜注視著來訪的一行人，微微一笑，卻讓人不由自主地想要跪拜。284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJN6Cdnafd
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPgeNbqDHU
冷峻女隊長恭敬地介紹道：284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXUEN44OKm
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBNE4lNPxV
「這位，便是永夜森林的統治者——西方天神族的女王，永夜女王。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7vglGWIfs
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bt6oTpofT
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1NavynBXU
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxdqfhwfef
塔庫魯趁隊伍稍作休整，先摸一下左手臂，然後利用默念與主機交流：「愛神九三：我以為只有萬縱谷那邊的禁地才有天神族的存在，沒想到在光牆之外也有？這永夜女王看起來不太好惹，有啥底細？ＯＶＥＲ。」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcXsKnka5c
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNZDbExYZ7
光幕閃爍，主機的文字透著一絲揶揄：「哦，終於問到重點了！我簡單的說，天神族一樣是人，也有七情六慾，原本的天神族是統歸大法師來管理，不過數千年以前，當時的大法師要建立起那一座光牆時，幾位實力與地位不輸當時大法師的大長老便趁機帶人留在光牆之外，從此與光牆之內禁地的天神族分道揚鑣。這永夜森林便是其中之一，另外還有幾個光牆外的天神族居住地。而永夜女王便是當代的永夜森林的統治者！」284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nBJCneMaG
284Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkRdYAJ8hF
塔庫魯暗自吐了一口氣：天神族長的這麼好看，一樣會想爭權奪利的，看來只要是人，差不多都是同樣的一副德性！
