859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hJBFGwqXN
主辦人──薩拉凱爾教教主致詞後，晚宴在七點準時開始。現場準備許多珍饈佳餚，世界最知名的樂隊在前方演奏，機器服務生送來各式各樣的美酒。原本以為是嚴肅的宴會，沒想到氣氛活潑，像屬於貴族的派對。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1ShZdSCW6
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgCc65sIU3
「……。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QLtd9eCWP
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVWcjx7fl1
不過，他現在很尷尬。謝賢讓他和謝綠獨處，顧爾不能在隨侍在旁。李晴煬和謝綠靠在牆邊，不知道要說什麼。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgYNPkKVjw
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE53lATN5Gk
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn4evcbpdZ
「觀自在菩薩。行深般若波羅蜜多時。照見五蘊皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不異空。空不異色。色即是空。空即是色……」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWzGEHyv8O
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwjy1q9Ltf
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ1ATeSp5x
和晚宴氣氛很不相符，他竟然從謝綠身上，聽到和尚誦經的聲音；因為太另類，李晴煬對她留下深刻的印象。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0WHVXWeeT
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVqhMvBENj
而且，謝綠很漂亮──李晴煬無法否認，眼前的女孩讓他十分著迷，尤其是草綠色的眼睛。她渾身散發一個「靜」字，小小年紀，彷彿看透很多事。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aC7saC3ms
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjasXxebRJ
「你是第一次參加？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55VxJs7XWQ
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjydW2CWwq
李晴煬不知道怎麼開話題，謝綠率先開口，打破尷尬的氣氛。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ruCSDpf1
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsAPonMpA1
喝著專為小孩調配的無酒精雞尾酒，李晴煬回應：「嗯。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTBe3vtpO7
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcofW1O0by5
「之前為什麼缺席？」謝綠單刀直入地問。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRYOK4fOTC
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaFAUvOBtq
「討厭人多的地方。」李晴煬簡單回答。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvRaEAafbm
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2MHmMJLNU
「今年又為什麼來？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6QRqEjhQV
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPszVkn0OoG
「見見世面。」李晴煬聳肩，「不能一直窩在家裡。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw40r3Y1AVr
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEYmU2VNo8
謝綠沉默。李晴煬覺得剛才的氣氛不錯，換他問：「妳呢？每年都來？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUbpwUKw35
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkndU9pypID
「八歲開始，這是第三次。」謝綠沒有逃避他的問題，老實回答。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKpHJsYEPH
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvWOxKvM6G
「為什麼？」李晴煬看著謝綠厭世的臉，「妳不像喜歡這種場合的人。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIblBqUEGDo
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyc3Zdi5Ju
「還能因為什麼？我是被拖來的。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaO8nwshko
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeFaW8cVxX
李晴煬聽見謝綠嘆氣的聲音。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut9FnYwxCr
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCCFDaiURM
「在場的人，妳都認識嗎？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqtE7s25se
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0ug9nSzWe
謝綠一定知道十大家族的事，李晴煬決定問問，以免氣氛又變尷尬。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvEL2HwKHS
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMhbp71Gto
「大部分知道。」謝綠看向他，「你都不認識？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECEggRc003
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraSeSryMmF
李晴煬點頭。謝綠沉默幾秒，「好吧。」帶李晴煬去角落，好一次看到全部的人。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Hvbl3xaK
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyjXTXa9dM
「我一直很想問。」前往角落的路上，謝綠上上下下審視他一番，「李門的穿衣品味都這麼怪？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSZxo81jNY
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BvW8apW2e
李晴煬想回答「妳以為我願意嗎？」但不像自己會說的話，改用挑釁的語氣：「怎麼？本少爺這樣不好看？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJfnQjEIw7
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlJDkuJKbZ
「嗯。」謝綠秒答，補了句：「活像個娘炮。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuF6kLRcfw
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQTvzVotYs
「娘炮」兩字像一隻箭，狠狠從李晴煬胸前穿了過去。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCHkAdPq7p
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2xwyBPT1A
「妳的穿衣品味才奇怪！哪有人古裝下面搭短裙！」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiG5nTakv2
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhljIvGje7U
「比較好活動。」謝綠哼了一聲，「我父親都沒說什麼，你管那麼多幹嘛？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpwj7VcN43
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1365yjGB6
「妳……！」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEJYG2Bqol
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSfoTfIUKG
「啊，這兒就行了，要從哪一家開始介紹呢……？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6U9BZA8Wm
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YrFbaBtrH
謝綠規避掉話題。雖然表情不多、年紀又小，但她講話很不客氣，顯然沒在怕李晴煬。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnbmawDRB2
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3601eCO3EI
李晴煬撇了撇嘴，順著謝綠手指的方向看去──那群穿醫師袍的年輕人。李晴煬率先說：「希波克拉底一脈。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeraKk9WZ1
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScnOkC5yrg
「你知道？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3P4PQCCto
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OtXNNOGUD
「聽來的。」李晴煬說：「詳細不清楚。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS17qhvCp6t
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsVSsCEfh5
「嗯，看來我高估你了。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkjFoKDwp7
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhV9IT4qLu
李晴煬的嘴角抽動幾下。謝綠不理他，專心介紹：859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mrRpmRVfY
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz3lYhnmaV
「希波克拉底一脈，十大家族第九，擅長領域是醫學，家族成員都是醫生、藥劑師、法醫、醫檢師……全世界的醫院，背後的經營者都是他們。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzZp3lLSMX
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyRpYW8HJO
謝綠雙手環胸，用一種非常帥氣的姿勢，靠在牆上。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NFchif75f
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXSyGpP1AI
「傳說他們的家族成員，全是古希臘時代的醫學大師──希波克拉底的後代。但年代久遠，沒有統一姓氏，才用祖先的名字統稱。」謝綠說。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSEsBXfMXp
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vl2d2N19l
「他們平常都這樣，穿醫師袍晃來晃去？」李晴煬問。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFD3Lj1TWr
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfeKbz7Xhe
「每個家族都有自己的穿衣風格。希波克拉底一脈以醫生為榮，醫師袍是身分的象徵。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15tZ5HrBrl
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWkbTvz6Vu
謝綠的眼睛改看向另一群人。李晴煬順著她的視線看去──把滾筒衛生紙裹在身上的貴婦。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqoPrRo7vb
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpDz4jprQq
「雷蒙一家。」謝綠說：「十大家族第八，時尚業的壟斷者。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ToglWCSA5
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWE8trqWz7
「時…時尚？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwUr5XKj9P
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe4SZmh7ym
李晴煬挑眉。不只捲筒衛生紙，有人的髮型像花椰菜，有人的洋裝像菜瓜布，還有一個女人的披肩是黑色垃圾袋。時尚真難懂。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJlFVeMSqU
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULuqG0Zah6
「今年算收斂了。」謝綠看出李晴煬的疑惑，告訴他：「我去年，看過把色鉛筆插在頭上的。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lEaY2FtpF
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjVmtYQ20t
「穿這種衣服還能笑……要是本少爺，恨不得死了個算了。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7sDyHfzC8
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tesSw2If9
李晴煬說完，聽見謝綠發出輕輕的笑聲。沒想到她會笑──李晴煬心想，心情不自覺好起來。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDllx0AguY
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I01AF2OGa
「雷蒙一家旗下的品牌，從服裝到飾品，還有專門培訓藝人的經紀公司；另外，他們家的物流技術也很創新，不少零售店搶著和他們合作。」謝綠故意補充：「而且，他們家的人都很漂亮。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQXtUx3mg9
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHv1yz5uUw
「……不把那身恐怖的衣服脫掉，本少爺無法體會。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY7R2luODJ
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgQfnekioK
視線離開雷蒙一家，李晴煬改看向另一群──正在會場中央表演魔術、射飛鏢、拋彩球的馬戲團人士。晚宴的氣氛之所以活潑，都拜這群小丑所賜。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9kLb2HhJS
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXRLNpLorY
「那又是誰？」李晴煬問謝綠。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIY67Zkkpdl
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqvcXbM7U1
「史密斯馬戲團，十大家族第七，慈善事業。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsW2prsiMx
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyjYHDw1fh
謝綠說完，其中一名史密斯變出一堆彩色氣球，逗得周遭人笑聲不斷、表情又驚又喜。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0LjaYzUjg
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmiPdPsO1w
「史密斯居無定所，他們在全世界巡迴演出，收入都拿去照顧弱勢，是聲望很高的家族，但也因為這樣，他們不是很富有。」謝綠說。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF0b7huhqa
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vrHjIwaBl
「聽起來很偉大。」李晴煬附和。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PnFTiB8nH
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaKvGVYzwH
「坦白說，他們挺奇妙的。聖誕晚宴是史密斯少數參加的活動，其他正式場合，一概不參加。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduNDC1rTmq
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5yXm4or4M
介紹完，謝綠的手指向另一群人。李晴煬剛好想問，畢竟，他看那群光速戰士很久了。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizQuzG3gFx
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIymwFXSvj
「白與金，統稱Platinum。白家壟斷科技，金家壟斷軍火，兩家因為婚姻關係結合。十大家族第五和第六，是非常強的軍火聯盟，絕對不容小覷。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu62zKM5sY7
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62YViDlqBL
李晴煬對他們的服裝更感興趣。謝氏像武俠小說的角色，Platinum則是遊戲，會發射高速激光的那種。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33vLTz5VUg
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWdji94PBR
「他們漂浮在空中？」李晴煬踮腳尖，試著看清楚。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ7iHX0mYc
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXfu79VYNN
「嗯，他們腳底的投影圖騰，那是漂浮裝置。」謝綠說。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENdVCvXjoG
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHPOIcHqyV
「背上那又是什麼？翅膀？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMamqC5YlE
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPfycUv1Da
「那也是投影，圖案會隨他們的情緒變化……你看，變成橘色了，那個人現在心情很好。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9k9HXYtt1
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztJOvAA23m
Platinum的穿衣風格非常前衛。移動時，兩腳懸浮在空中，衣服還會飄起來，浮空時的畫面很好看，但科技感太強，給人的感覺很不真實。明明是人類，卻把自己弄得像機器人。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuYozYO1Zm
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV6rjz7xHQ
「黑色教袍的是薩拉凱爾教、十八世紀貴族打扮的是李門、像從漢朝穿越來的是謝氏……這些你都知道了。」謝綠把胸前的手放下來，看著李晴煬的臉，「還有不知道的嗎？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uuj1E86WV
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrjZk1goqY
「妳怎麼只介紹八個？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPLix41Ygu
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTN4BvuNDs
李晴煬發現，前後的高宇維與夏家，謝綠都沒有說。聽完他的問題，謝綠意味深長地陷入沉默，沉默持續了一陣子。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rJEW5at1V
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gjH4VfoeB
「沒介紹的兩家，都沒有出席。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEclXg9eiV
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzMo92bSOe
不等李晴煬問，謝綠就告訴他：859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4geLMAHNLN
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1eqRx5gmx
「夏家……十大家族第十，是非常奇怪的家族。他們比高宇維還神秘，沒有人知道他們在做什麼、裡面有誰，連他們住在哪都不知道。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlFnLKQewf
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4d4azCS1r
「這樣也算十大家族？」李晴煬立刻問。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfknuwUug4
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc08ogD6jX
「我也不知道，但神秘歸神秘，他們也沒做什麼。」謝綠聳肩。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjZCwcOH6l
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuc7D1KUPi
「高宇維呢？」問完夏家，李晴煬再問另一個缺席者：「他這麼跩，這種場合都不來？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JGwBPrpy9
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHJQHKZnkq
「別說『這種場合』，高宇維連自己的活動都不出席。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhpo91FErF
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡachpXDKUGy
謝綠說，似是對高宇維的缺席見怪不怪。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJYq0xcwqE
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqeDHhvg5y
「我不知道怎麼說，高宇維好像不喜歡其他家族，想和我們劃清關係，可是──」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrm3FKBKYP
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o5NTgj1nJ
謝綠把話停在這兒。她的眼神突然變得十分銳利、似乎在警戒什麼。李晴煬順著她的視線看去，赫然對上一雙眼睛，嚇得他後退兩步。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbmC45I8le
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmjzHpd5k2
「……。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03LXJAiW6e
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukelz6x839
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz22BlIhi2
一名白色頭髮的男子，正從遠遠的地方看著他們。859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET96klvfHw
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBF9OwPliU
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMntmzojTk
男子是整個會場，唯一穿著正常西裝的人。他離李晴煬和謝綠很遠，但筆直的視線彷彿要把刺穿。李晴煬不自覺感到緊張，旁邊的謝綠瞪了回去，跟李晴煬說：859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBfa9Brqwy
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w5w3kOSgn
「可是今年，高宇維派他的親信來了。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSsLTNAUff
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ftb7H1t3E
謝綠不敢掉以輕心，就怕一不留神，男子會做出不利她的舉動。李晴煬問謝綠：「親信？」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj88OwXp0H
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY9MrNJFgI
「對，親信──你聽過神與畜吧？他是第一幹部、地位僅次於高宇維。」859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Frg7J49M
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81BuuwWAX6
謝綠的雙刀已經蓄勢待發。她一手握住刀柄，說出那個禁忌的名字──859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsQg18iPIR
859Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Q1rmd0jv
「里奧．懷特。」8964 copyright protection855ＰＥＮＡＮＡsabj8iukdt 維尼
