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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WPqJC8QFC
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4jLcMQur1
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS1jGrHGN4
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIhRVW2rox
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2OH3IeL4e
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc4bQl1uUs
兩個匆匆趕路的身影，走到了關口前。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDllmLHBG64
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLLdHZi3N6
梓喬拿出了通關文牒，向渡口的守衛出示。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItNH7UAgqn
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZjkhderKJ
「是！請過。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO498YkkVzV
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSKrZEJLjM
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4LD3HBqw5
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWNiEo70VA
「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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbahxVT8pK
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByaMnma8Fz
「只是…就算你們是魔導士和騎士，晚上出關都有些太危險了。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEBGbqMgZI
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhDuaUGxy0
「為甚麼？」逸天疑惑地問道。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdMXlp9CiX
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3KxIlNkn7
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwjyTMKGil
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQyoBofNKy
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT9sx8CeQX
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQtcyit4XC
「嗯…那的確是很有威脅的存在…」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQey1sUyJDQ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJee2mZoPM
逸天低聲咕噥道，右手也有點不安地抓了抓背上的劍柄。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iIWKcxJxK
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPmiK0YsnK
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNS34BfOLy
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBq45fXdCt
出於擔心，守衛向逸天他們發出了邀請。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUa8lVkM3O
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ5CjsO1BW
「嗯，我倒是沒問題…」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0gyiyPq6H
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknVFv3hgTS
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jxBIEMUwE
然而，梓喬卻說了出乎逸天意料的決定。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuOVNCiPn5
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsvL8qgXcA
「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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJY93EUVii
聽到梓喬的決定，逸天不禁嘆了口氣。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9KZnJ85Xx
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkOYrnkH7N
「為什麽啊？我們根本沒必要晚上去那麽冒險啊？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPLBTXHB0G
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOtZvtvFFO
「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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XMDUgQ1k0
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwKZex2fZ6
「可是…」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve7NPSqgFB
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9QJJV93CV
「趁現在還有時間趕快走吧。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrwsQ0B8li
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaoLZuHbCm
接著梓喬走向了一旁的馬殿。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0r2RTXsR9
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1KomEqcQU
「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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sYdOlctQH
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nrn9foYhh
「大...大人！首先，我們西方邊境的資金向來…不是很充足…」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb7GOppea1
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGwaKgJQcG
「所以連兩匹馬也沒有嗎?」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVzrV9Nnm2
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66BzzGwuzw
「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…」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55vNZnM51a
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40VNbaVx4X
「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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGheKwWTlBg
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOUVZUl1Ee
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4LWC5cJ31
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzONrrLgLkK
「難道是不死族的斥侯？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IXM4Vcugj
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5uIiYNGnd
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu118x4Rkmy
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRxtwLYJOk
「不…不死族？唉，石像鬼還不夠嗎?」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeILbD2v94
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkWicftOJS
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfCHAGuphS
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJPfurO00q
「何逸天！這不能說！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVE9wbrAHD
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwSzs8riKc
只見守衛的臉色一陣鐵青，但隨即又回復了正常。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6tUKimLxE
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs04coQ9v5K
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcQliwFg24
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRC3R2zoAp
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7bq6U4SDX
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！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTUF3VSuzJ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR8Bv90c18
「是的，我這就去為兩位備馬。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZvUYqUUyl
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65Miwbfq3c
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXn7Mior2M
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yaP5MCBJo
「你是白癡嗎！你怎麼能把密令的內容說出來！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzjf8Ng9mT
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVjje92Hm7
「抱歉。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o7Te2nRcF
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcoZClPpzw
「你這人真是，就正正因為內容和不死族有關才要秘密授命。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMKn0fmCDt
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH1zRG76XP
「為什麼？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF7Ca70tRm
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcx8bDk27E
梓喬不安地咬了咬嘴唇。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMX8f2dqzF
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F3IIpo4vK
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxJOiToWR8
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dqcrHIlw5
「對不起，是我一時心急了，還有呢？」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf3WC6fthp
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqW03X3oO0
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxgcIslkfw
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW6vAigBms
這時守衛從馬殿里牽著一匹棕毛黑鬃馬，走了出來。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmDNnWppxv
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1piSPMdLe
「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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LgQ07OUKi
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr86jU48mmm
兩人茫然相視半响，梓喬才無奈地搖了搖頭。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXbDV3qyGU
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGi1kaGzOM
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。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYozretTF2
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrjxq8IEze
「好吧，你抱著我坐後面。」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsTqwU8XSZ
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr12x1wFGe
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE5fuFDTc6
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRabYkIoupC
這樣也好，免得那傢伙不會騎馬丟醜。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULeBXNJ4nh
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah7RYHrPqp
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBujhZrsb14
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV0N0S6rSM
「守衛，我們後會有期！」436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjWD9zAXha
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj9VdRRy2c
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXP0qPleRq
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2dw9uyJyZ
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygM2p0PNu7
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLIo67Q6EP
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZgOgPDK13
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyvDOUMfPF
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhPctKb603
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLWPNQhdKF
兩人沒有往回走，也沒有說話，反而越走越快，直往山脈而去。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm68xLz5Z4N
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXObmZXhvC
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。436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ66PTxq4Cd
