陽劃落在水平線的盡頭，河水被染成燦爛的橘紅色，在運河的中心可看見一隻正趕著回程的小木舟，河邊本寥寥可數的釣客也已經消失得無影無蹤，入夜後的邊境並沒有以前那般太平。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8BZ0ZV1By
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluDfD525LU
在運河的盡頭，有一碼頭，約三百年前已包在運河工程中落成了，幾十年前又翻新過一次，本是西方不死族之出入口商品集散之地。只是要到西方去，途經死亡山脈，外圍的官道窄小，氣候多變，來往的商人集合成一支商隊，一起來回，相互照應，走一趟就是數月，今日離商隊歸來尚有一月，沒有買賣做，也就沒甚麼人來，只有一隻商船泊着，商鋪也沒有營業。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNmXZPqafF
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4CVeKWmz5
出了碼頭，向西直走數里，已是關口。關口城牆連着一片山壁，關口以西即非人界。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Wch21tY6
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHMV6MK8dT
兩個匆匆趕路的身影，走到了關口前。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqOQD1yGsl
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfOLEcs6VT
梓喬拿出了通關文牒，向渡口的守衛出示。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1GuabGHHE
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9xnf3gw8v
「是！請過。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QbcscU1qx
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgjA34pGMy
守衛看到了文牒後，馬上以一個恭敬的姿勢讓出一條路給他們通往，文牒上有軍方、騎士學院和魔法學院的印章，這二人可是大有來頭。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7Kl482IIl
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZtzN1DKCp
「謝謝。」梓喬收回文牒，兩人正要從關口中過去，守衛卻叫住了他們。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE4qAzYNFh
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU0G9MbrBn
「只是…就算你們是魔導士和騎士，晚上出關都有些太危險了。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwe6IHWuXg
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQgZRmUTQ9
「為甚麼？」逸天疑惑地問道。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBQwluGRGR
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4PdHO0ae9
「野獸兩位想必不用怕，但石像鬼就不一樣了。它們本來棲息於西方盡頭的死亡山脈，近來卻反常地在這邊獵食，它們會在晚上活動，乘人不備，從天上抓住獵物，刺穿他們的筋骨，讓它們失去行動能力，然後再把它們帶回自己的巢穴和同伴一起享用。由於他們的移動速度很快而且數量也很多，所以鮮有獵物能逃過他們的追殺。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwIKSboDd9
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VBLaEpFxs
侍衛同時拉起衣袖，露出一條由手腕延伸至手肘的深黑色疤痕，他數月前被石像鬼抓傷過，還好那次的石像鬼落了單，被守衛群起而攻殺死了。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zWVe54PrH
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv8kE6IXfP
「嗯…那的確是很有威脅的存在…」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L0StibQiT
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBedVyNkK8
逸天低聲咕噥道，右手也有點不安地抓了抓背上的劍柄。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSghbxKscx
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtzxQvJbd9
「如果不介意的話，兩位要不要先在我們這裏留宿一晚？早上石像鬼不敢出來。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnncSOQ9cz
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzpahsp2mL
出於擔心，守衛向逸天他們發出了邀請。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6HH6dbbZi
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFpXpWQ2Pd
「嗯，我倒是沒問題…」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZpCXW2tOP
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjMbBUmrm0
逸天望向梓喬，眼神裏尋求著她的同意，想必是未成熟的劍技讓他退縮了吧。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnC9INjO0t
然而，梓喬卻說了出乎逸天意料的決定。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLK3j6ygkf
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesq0SLj6lr
「不，我們要繼續趕路。」梓喬也不約而同地撫着魔杖，但卻得出相反的結論。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOhS9lrJNL
聽到梓喬的決定，逸天不禁嘆了口氣。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr07LzF7ME
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQKfN2b9lR
「為什麽啊？我們根本沒必要晚上去那麽冒險啊？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi8EkU5209
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwbreEacWF
「石像鬼不是問題，消滅斥候要緊。」梓喬的回應卻顯得十分嚴肅。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrySBA72cz
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVi4RVvI8M
「可是…」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjyawl5mpe
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vhct8bLCt
「趁現在還有時間趕快走吧。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzOAO1q9ey
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaSHk8ghrn
接著梓喬走向了一旁的馬殿。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9uEL0mhLh
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI6clIkWWa
「侍衛，我們需要馬匹為我們趕路。」剛才兩人乘船順運河而下，關口離山脈尚有數十里，要是不借助馬匹，天黑前就到不了山脈，然而守衛聞言卻臉色一變。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH8QMU2l9R
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliagVHSDhh
「大...大人！首先，我們西方邊境的資金向來…不是很充足…」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjE0u4Mrej
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCatWdAnyg4
「所以連兩匹馬也沒有嗎?」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFpEExYx1c
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXVOoNiZH4
「對…對對！不是我們不借…只是我們的馬匹已經有不少無故失蹤了…」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1hfcBMe60
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJve0a0Vey3
「我瞧你胡說八道也有個限度吧，馬兒好端端的怎麼會失蹤了呢?我看是你們偷偷煮來吃了。」梓喬也是隨口說說罷了，邊防重地的馬匹都是報信的快馬和戰馬，他們又豈敢私自煮來吃，只是聽說馬匹無故失蹤，心中甚疑。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejOWnGO6m2
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJXNKS0sXA
「我們怎麼敢!大人有所不知了，我們西邊邊境最近經常發生怪事，先是附近小鎮的居民會無故失蹤，接馬殿里的馬匹也是一樣，可能是石像鬼已經越過了關口，開始向東蔓延了。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMnIdU8uKe
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3HZCfGBgW
「難道是不死族的斥侯？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMYptXiBXF
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYY0nanZaG
逸天自剛才守衛解釋時已經緊皺眉頭沉思著什麼，聽到這裡又忽然若有所思地問道。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwb0X6Lt2AW
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmhbOcsBP4
「不…不死族？唉，石像鬼還不夠嗎?」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR9pmSmZEU
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvslrg0nqo
「守衛，讓我們離開吧，我們奉皇室和學院的密令，去殲滅附近不死族的斥候。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfayCGNHU3M
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8tV5uRYba
「何逸天！這不能說！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXQRxmPuuW
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuHjyZc12w
只見守衛的臉色一陣鐵青，但隨即又回復了正常。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmKiQhhZlv
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGFJOVWzXm
「大人，老實說是不是又要打仗了，反正我們這種守邊境關卡的士兵都是微不足道的小棋子，你們就做個好心告訴了我，好讓我和家中老母見個最後一面。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzKqAlwh5k
看來他在邊境見識過各種凶獸，自知總有一天要死於非命，不死族來犯是死，石像鬼來犯也是死，反正都是死，也就看開了。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw4teb7wI7
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll4W6CaYTr
只見梓喬好沒氣地說道：「所以你讓我們現在去殲滅它們還來得及，快點去備馬！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNm11exfGX
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPRyTgMP0j
「是的，我這就去為兩位備馬。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbquPT4s7FJ
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8j1yq93lt
守衛小跑着走開了，直到守衛消失於馬殿之中，梓喬才無奈地歎了口氣。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSyiKRVuWC
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdmUF0g1vI
「你是白癡嗎！你怎麼能把密令的內容說出來！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyUgy4GiHD
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2M4MlJrdp
「抱歉。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGsNWqCpSx
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBZED1Gk94
「你這人真是，就正正因為內容和不死族有關才要秘密授命。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFx3Ek0Law
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0O6IweBLE
「為什麼？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdaHPapLib
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87LoLp5wmB
梓喬不安地咬了咬嘴唇。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB7Qb6Iehx
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXoQe6xYkr
「不死族身體異於常人，力氣巨大，普通守衛根本不是它們的對手。而且聽說他們嗜血成性，見人就殺，消息傳開了人民會陷入恐慌，這是第一。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1I8QPTeWO
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdyMyhanqv
「對不起，是我一時心急了，還有呢？」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG56qyroyN
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBCu0YlF3O
「始終人類和不死族之間，暫時還沒到正式開戰的時侯，名義上他們是友邦，我們的行動不宜張揚。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJJ3J02U7H
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzui3sv9tFj
這時守衛從馬殿里牽著一匹棕毛黑鬃馬，走了出來。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4w10mdUVJ
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYnCNuYFsV
「我們馬匹實在不多了，用來報信的快馬太少了，實在不能借出，兩位使者大人就將就一下，兩人乘一馬吧。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bLNci4Mf2
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEvTi2SBx3
兩人茫然相視半响，梓喬才無奈地搖了搖頭。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6APSy8p2R
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6jvtra15g
守衛見她搖頭，忙道：「這馬雖然不快，但平常馱慣了重物，耐力長久，就是兩人共一騎也沒問題。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tzDwgjUBZ
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBIZ98pg3I
「好吧，你抱著我坐後面。」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtgTSDbKEu
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOciZItSFC
逸天在現實世界，居於城市之內，鮮少有機會騎馬，而梓喬早一年到這裡生活，騎馬出行可說是家常便飯了。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOQpntqlSH
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1Jv71HrU0
這樣也好，免得那傢伙不會騎馬丟醜。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0STdDsTgsc
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSrZEOU9he
梓喬輕輕一踏馬蹬，跨上馬背，逸天見狀也依樣葫蘆地以有些生疏笨拙的動作跨了上去。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3pnVSa714
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjmNF9MKc1
「守衛，我們後會有期！」630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdp6y0DFe6
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmMoiJMc3w
不待他回應，梓喬輕拍馬身，兩人一馬已迅速順著小路奔向起伏不平的小路，消失在夜色之中。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RO8e6m7qD
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPXXaEa9ut
眼見遠去的兩人，侍衛又望向了身邊的一個小土坑，他的夥伴在那裡站了十多年站出來的，領着微薄的薪水，守着國家的門戶，雨打風吹也不離不棄，他絕對是一個好守衛。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CwPIODzqC
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatGFSN5wYC
但在石像鬼面前，他也不過是有待玩弄的一塊鮮肉，最多上面多了點鐵渣子罷了。上次他們能殺死石像鬼就是因爲牠顧着玩弄他同伴的屍體，侍衛只能在心中暗暗為這兩人一馬祝福。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SYtKB8SHy
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOHevmk5ly
兩人向死亡山脈的方向跑去，一路上的景色也開始變得詭異，原本茂密又高大的草叢漸漸變得稀疏，最後只剩下幾條枯萎的乾草，再向前就是一片赤地了；偶爾經過的動物體積也越來越大，而且身上散發着惶恐的氣息，如果不是他們在石像鬼面前稍有抗衡之力，現在已經化為白骨了。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMG31j4cws
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit9DSPRrxV
兩人沒有往回走，也沒有說話，反而越走越快，直往山脈而去。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUbKS0sjuB
630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7WiZVTLiD
霧氣開始環繞兩人，說明二人己到了山脈外圍，兩人隨即下馬，但由於大霧視線受阻，無法視清五米以外的情況，叫兩人寸步難行。630Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYeob5TUaV
