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。430Please respect copyright.PENANAlDh6vYtQzm
430Please respect copyright.PENANAeXgh11IPVD
李魚感嘆道:「古堡用蒸汽鐵門作防禦,不錯嘛。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAcvYzEUoH77
430Please respect copyright.PENANAdHULAArZIG
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。430Please respect copyright.PENANAGtOxCDsSkz
430Please respect copyright.PENANALTuugarKFf
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANALjgDUT6m6O
430Please respect copyright.PENANAU526O2s1Ia
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANA17EHH74zba
430Please respect copyright.PENANATmW9Aeqaob
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAwvK0FqTdBY
430Please respect copyright.PENANAWbR8mpKfwi
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。430Please respect copyright.PENANAOkTyuuZqyF
430Please respect copyright.PENANAGcZpqeeTPa
最重要的是地圖沒有相關字眼留下。430Please respect copyright.PENANA2JEhPtK7GW
430Please respect copyright.PENANAVv8NdnGEq0
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANA4VgKzREzxX
430Please respect copyright.PENANArPVwFpGwGS
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?」430Please respect copyright.PENANACgfJrcvYDS
430Please respect copyright.PENANA30DCPgIit7
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。430Please respect copyright.PENANAXqk8PD0tOo
430Please respect copyright.PENANArE2NL4KFHz
最好有功法存在。430Please respect copyright.PENANAlvSSUbsdPE
430Please respect copyright.PENANA3Id02oaP5L
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。430Please respect copyright.PENANA66iJsNt2kc
430Please respect copyright.PENANAdujeG44SvR
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANA2T3usYLBDB
430Please respect copyright.PENANA5zNqgH8TOT
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。430Please respect copyright.PENANAjj9qpNTup3
430Please respect copyright.PENANAcZDtHRSz3O
李魚向老鬼道:「一個金幣,向那處出全力打一通。」430Please respect copyright.PENANALh52OOOHKD
430Please respect copyright.PENANA3ygOrv9Dtw
先生伸出食指一點,他想老人出招。430Please respect copyright.PENANAyLjcoATZ4O
430Please respect copyright.PENANAP2fZEsEmdU
老鬼嘆服道:「你總是將危險留給別人,自己享受成果。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAiEYQJpUGjX
430Please respect copyright.PENANABSeHVAc2x1
李魚沒有否認道:「富貴險中求,我比較怕死。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAwFc0SqIT9L
430Please respect copyright.PENANAPBls7Nhijm
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。430Please respect copyright.PENANAtegDnJ2wUM
430Please respect copyright.PENANAwxAFDK4ctw
李魚道:「不出所料,真的是毫無作用,走吧。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAgK9AcIObjR
430Please respect copyright.PENANAB5PCBS7k69
老鬼接道:「去哪?」430Please respect copyright.PENANAtgptn0jvpm
430Please respect copyright.PENANAFD0hX7HR1V
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。430Please respect copyright.PENANAzs3cRGNe0L
430Please respect copyright.PENANAhgEypDIkoN
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。430Please respect copyright.PENANAaqiQa1BfaY
430Please respect copyright.PENANATJhg1zgcKC
老鬼道:「費迪南男爵軍功卓絕,特批享建古堡的權利。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAwv2ubbALkE
430Please respect copyright.PENANAqlMTiQHU0g
李魚想起某人道:「莫非是勞德,費迪南?」430Please respect copyright.PENANARNSfrhchrB
430Please respect copyright.PENANAHTQKNgyUqM
老鬼佩服道:「小子你還真是什麼都知道。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAVMSJDhwmN0
430Please respect copyright.PENANAT1EmAUZxpc
李魚無所謂道:「只是小時候聽過這個名字。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAOHigsaqqug
430Please respect copyright.PENANAQmaYD70kVq
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAcXucVbMiDv
430Please respect copyright.PENANAUgd0Tn8xKM
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAXWBUjDnBjQ
430Please respect copyright.PENANAMdT9V3fXKM
先生總結了男爵的實力並給予很高評價。430Please respect copyright.PENANAfhnCao1ke0
430Please respect copyright.PENANAtA3PnwO5uN
老鬼笑道:「他當然不是,你知不知道費迪南家族?」430Please respect copyright.PENANAUK427lYHly
430Please respect copyright.PENANAHu3PZDk4xH
李魚道:「我並非歷史學家。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAkKPMNgP01q
430Please respect copyright.PENANAGCjz41kZOG
老鬼笑意盈盈道:「你自己看。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAZfmYlqImT0
430Please respect copyright.PENANAdCS6vStY03
映入先生眼簾的是《帝國家族發展史》。430Please respect copyright.PENANAziOeV3uHcd
430Please respect copyright.PENANAJvsPXikytt
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANA2d6GN3c80c
430Please respect copyright.PENANAbBXuWfBbLA
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAnb4GDAUswZ
430Please respect copyright.PENANAo2c9wlwu6J
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAJuW2tk3eb9
430Please respect copyright.PENANAY9yRTE3GN7
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAgT9Ouz4yYh
430Please respect copyright.PENANAc8NjMiuoCk
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAgdyDF6uQi8
430Please respect copyright.PENANAoLhxtaEWxw
老鬼補充道:「始祖是亞倫,費迪南。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAPu9nkxUKHU
430Please respect copyright.PENANAfgb8SffkWy
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》。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAVegowBH0pq
430Please respect copyright.PENANAWPrLXIk4tX
李魚疑問道:「神術?」430Please respect copyright.PENANAWE8DtNWWVS
430Please respect copyright.PENANAZm9Ic4bZVH
老鬼答道:「亞倫費迪南是南部傳統教派的忠誠信徒。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAlBAPPP2AKg
430Please respect copyright.PENANAmOvTwG7agY
李魚驚訝道:「這也寫在書上?」430Please respect copyright.PENANAdTbMvJSeW9
430Please respect copyright.PENANARnKeny9PJH
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAnv6qnKOQUm
430Please respect copyright.PENANAKxkMHtefSR
李魚點頭道:「真主的確是南部的信仰。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAg5OfPn7J3a
430Please respect copyright.PENANAE05N3IRUFC
老鬼問:「你帶我來就是看他們的歷史?」430Please respect copyright.PENANANsrvHUEk3S
430Please respect copyright.PENANAHxQ3DjTtZS
李魚確定道:「算是了解一下而已。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAEXj6u7QQ3Q
430Please respect copyright.PENANAIPlXQctHGs
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAOT78kves8r
430Please respect copyright.PENANAmJGVCmVyRt
先生道出這一句話後翻上了書本,費迪南家族就如此簡短。430Please respect copyright.PENANAdrP2VjctRc
430Please respect copyright.PENANAMTPQgHZcJU
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANALoDtlAZbZa
430Please respect copyright.PENANAMe3KUHk2OW
老鬼認同道:「我的猜想相同。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAAQFFf8CDM1
430Please respect copyright.PENANA4XQzXYsVVZ
李魚合上書道:「那先會合其餘人再討論吧。」430Please respect copyright.PENANA97SfIo2d4o
430Please respect copyright.PENANAVDNVCaRaEt
一行人租住了酒館,選擇了半夜繼續討論。430Please respect copyright.PENANAd8Dcim1S5t
430Please respect copyright.PENANA1nE2BTWo78
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANArj7YfMtWfx
430Please respect copyright.PENANAMmo9wDN5Fa
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAYGxzLeOTCx
430Please respect copyright.PENANAV40sGh0Olq
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAhzb2tSmcC8
430Please respect copyright.PENANAdteSopUMdT
老鬼譏諷道:「這還算是小樓嗎?二三十人都可以住下。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAcWvWgGBeU9
430Please respect copyright.PENANANP9cHjXq2M
再補一刀道:「將軍,似乎你的智慧與實力真的不太相乎。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAOzlaWfT0MS
430Please respect copyright.PENANAzB5cHdF7oF
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。430Please respect copyright.PENANAdVfiqLflnV
430Please respect copyright.PENANAeXRyAuSmk2
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。430Please respect copyright.PENANAULGCpgRzaq
430Please respect copyright.PENANAyVaYQjsNKL
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANA9M8mXi83wF
430Please respect copyright.PENANACu0PhUxmUW
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?」430Please respect copyright.PENANAlU73kNjiYS
430Please respect copyright.PENANAQzFDimEXPv
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANA9IAnwjITJb
430Please respect copyright.PENANA6D60uH7oAg
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAtBiUMPWXUp
430Please respect copyright.PENANApEE5j9q5ks
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。430Please respect copyright.PENANARXP2L9dg02
430Please respect copyright.PENANAWzMpNGbeqO
小丫撒嬌道:「你別胡說,先生,小丫可沒偷懶!」430Please respect copyright.PENANAiNqpCzsVMl
430Please respect copyright.PENANANyfudRPaVg
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAVPIqIwTBEv
430Please respect copyright.PENANAsnJQtSuCD9
其他成員一同道:「恭喜隊長!」430Please respect copyright.PENANA38yaSo2ZQk
430Please respect copyright.PENANAtwchU2Zy40
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。430Please respect copyright.PENANAdYcxTXfEuB
430Please respect copyright.PENANAiL4e9d8oRd
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。」430Please respect copyright.PENANAgBEbWeDPuq
430Please respect copyright.PENANALx7n5qDrH5
五年前?430Please respect copyright.PENANA139AULBE84
430Please respect copyright.PENANAuJrxKiOOfU
李魚問:「五年前是山仁傑初到的年份?」430Please respect copyright.PENANAfLkmeddhKC
