魔獸爭鬥的情況遠比我想像的還要嚴重許多。327Please respect copyright.PENANABlG9n9xbgl
327Please respect copyright.PENANAPnLIEfvWMv
進入平原之後,即使我們所行走的方向是守衛隊所選出最為安全的路線,才只是前進不到一小時的時間,就已經遭遇數十次的魔獸攻擊。327Please respect copyright.PENANAuPExdVWleA
327Please respect copyright.PENANAR8Gt8sxkqG
牠們並不是前仆後繼地不斷衝上來送死,而是像狩獵一樣,有系統、有組織,會判斷局勢那樣向我們發起攻擊。327Please respect copyright.PENANAaz2D4ZGiqD
327Please respect copyright.PENANAu3irdsxfeV
而一旦發現不是我們的對手之後,又會相當迅速的撤退。327Please respect copyright.PENANAyBVBzQj4Rj
327Please respect copyright.PENANAyulNiTxGt0
怪不得守衛隊的人沒辦法獨自處理這種事情。327Please respect copyright.PENANAtM9cASlb6y
327Please respect copyright.PENANApEsHCKyWq6
不管守衛隊他們再厲害,也不可能追著撤退的魔獸們打下去,甚至我也注意到,撤退離開的魔獸群並不是再也不會回來攻擊,牠們居然在撤退後只要重整五分鐘左右,就會再度捲土重來!327Please respect copyright.PENANARjaxaoFTnB
327Please respect copyright.PENANANNYSKnhTmj
照這種模式,就算他們成功調用軍隊的幫助,也不可能解決這一次的事件。327Please respect copyright.PENANAKXKuelCrZ4
327Please respect copyright.PENANAJcx23PWPeE
「到底有完沒完……喂,你就不能做點什麼一勞永逸的事情嗎?」327Please respect copyright.PENANAJTNHsPNtkv
327Please respect copyright.PENANACyTg6Tn4p7
這段路程走不到一半的時間,路易就已經表現出不耐煩的模樣,不過他還是忍到現在,在隊伍不得不停下來休息的時候,才跑過來跟我抱怨。327Please respect copyright.PENANAzQjBVMHnjE
327Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ4wYDdg0o
「我必須維持完整的生態平衡,否則不論做什麼事,都不可能一勞永逸的。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAOyu7DOFz4u
327Please respect copyright.PENANAdwf6pq00sw
我架起一個巨大的結界,讓疲憊的隊員們可以好好休息,才對路易解釋,他看起來很不滿,但是似乎因為能理解我所說的話,所以沒有說出更多抱怨。327Please respect copyright.PENANA3IHk1noy1y
327Please respect copyright.PENANAAd4hZevwkc
「沒有想到特魯迪平原的情況會嚴重到這種地步,如果不是大人的加入,就算我申請到神殿人員的支援,也絕對沒辦法走到平原的內部。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAIxsDtAbCQe
327Please respect copyright.PENANAwdFq5zXmZk
把成員們的事情整頓結束,亞岱爾也走到我這邊對我說著想法,我望向一旁守衛隊的隊長,他的表情看起來也和亞岱爾一樣,想要把調查的突破口放在我身上。327Please respect copyright.PENANArRW9lXIfSJ
327Please respect copyright.PENANA16g9e2naLa
但是現在我也一點頭緒都沒有啊……327Please respect copyright.PENANAEdnyxggwMA
327Please respect copyright.PENANAXfOYpdnVnr
這些魔獸們完全沒有瘋狂的跡象,在成群狩獵的模式下也不像是受到控制而盲目的攻擊,我察覺不到任何導致牠們出現攻擊性的外力魔法,感覺上,這些爭鬥全是出自於魔獸們本能的意願而出現的。327Please respect copyright.PENANAn8yk95RzNg
327Please respect copyright.PENANAQfazxubBoB
「你們……能大概推測這個區域的爭鬥,是為了什麼而展開嗎?」327Please respect copyright.PENANA8X0TIhvyS6
327Please respect copyright.PENANAMxjBKMUfrJ
作為調查團的核心成員們都圍到我這裡,並且坐下休息後,我才開口這麼問道。327Please respect copyright.PENANALgHMPplqyV
327Please respect copyright.PENANAQBM6MFFV3U
聽到我的問題,大家相互望了望,最後由守衛隊隊長帶頭說起。327Please respect copyright.PENANAE0dsEKeCpg
327Please respect copyright.PENANAH1kB30h02t
「唯一會引起魔獸爭鬥的原因,大多都是為了地盤、或是配偶,地盤的爭奪基本就是未來整個群體的優良生長環境,但是特魯迪平原這麼大,牠們沒道理這時候突然為了整個平原打起來。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAv0tXEVCqUM
327Please respect copyright.PENANA5C6mcm3LpW
「況且,地盤的爭奪,只要一方敗退而逃跑,就已經奠定了接下來的統治者,我從來沒見過想現在這樣,撤退後又再度來挑戰的情況。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAf2ecao3YDJ
327Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7tZRpEz4B
他這樣說完,同樣作為守衛隊、瞭解平原生態的其他人都同意的點頭。327Please respect copyright.PENANA3uNcKLKrer
327Please respect copyright.PENANA19hoCZInjt
「所以一開始,我們是猜測,會不會是有什麼邪神在平原內部興風作浪,逼退了那些魔獸,使牠們不得不在外圍進行爭奪。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAtBkZNievsp
327Please respect copyright.PENANAlNysN3kv3K
我搖搖頭,邪神的手段沒有那麼溫和,還會讓牠們有辦法跑到外面來生活,祂絕對是把所有能掌控的生物都吸收到自己手下的。327Please respect copyright.PENANAKVeNioB2rs
327Please respect copyright.PENANAri2PKXm2vd
「那就是牠們在爭奪的東西,主要不是這個區域,只是剛好關係到這個區域吧?」327Please respect copyright.PENANAR0uaIjwAJf
327Please respect copyright.PENANA7QuYWlIr7h
路易在這時候開口,雖然他不是這次會議的主要成員,但因為算是我在照顧的人,所以他們也讓他參與這個臨時討論。327Please respect copyright.PENANABxGrD9haSc
327Please respect copyright.PENANAMYzROTi6SY
不過有他在,我認為他比較能夠擴展我們的思考方向。327Please respect copyright.PENANA8EoqSgu7zg
327Please respect copyright.PENANAOObd1p6GYt
「這是一個不錯的思考模式。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAgGx3WkME60
327Please respect copyright.PENANAJElEijCaEy
我主動開口,讓路易可以繼續說下去。327Please respect copyright.PENANAjMpyh0Z13o
327Please respect copyright.PENANAHWSvCwJydQ
「因為我不覺得這次的事件跟邪神有什麼關係,相信現在的大家想法也一樣,我在想,搞不好是那裡冒出來什麼東西,可以讓那些魔獸受益,所以牠們才會開始爭奪。」327Please respect copyright.PENANA9zSy10EEUH
327Please respect copyright.PENANAy2RO2z12EJ
聽著路易的話,我低頭思考起來,老實說,這個猜測很符合目前的情況,但問題就在這個地方。327Please respect copyright.PENANAD9OllERgbQ
327Please respect copyright.PENANAFK4J6bzxml
我們要怎麼在這麼大一個平原裡面,找到那個魔獸們爭奪的東西?327Please respect copyright.PENANAialpdcMW1n
327Please respect copyright.PENANAjgToc6lE4f
……沒辦法了,做實驗吧,生物實驗。327Please respect copyright.PENANAy1GfPWBWMe
327Please respect copyright.PENANAdnfIYAflf1
「……抓一隻起來。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAA0lj2G6VhP
327Please respect copyright.PENANA7SA3o8QzNA
我這麼說道,不過他們沒聽懂我在說什麼,個個一臉疑惑但看著我。327Please respect copyright.PENANAFyzP6XJnGj
327Please respect copyright.PENANAvnDpQJG0di
「再猜測下去也只會陷入無限循環,我決定直接抓一隻魔獸來解析,了解牠們身上究竟發生什麼事。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAggqLwkewX3
327Please respect copyright.PENANApWLymqtNcv
我這麼一說完,在場成員們面面相覷,也不知道是贊同還是反對,不過我也沒打算理會這陣沉默,不講話我就當你們都沒意見了。327Please respect copyright.PENANAanaJ9xWBKQ
327Please respect copyright.PENANAOfCFdiWMm3
於是我站起來,逕自往結界的邊緣走過去,而一起開會的成員們見到我走動起來,自然也不敢擅自離開,於是全員都往我身後跟過來。327Please respect copyright.PENANAT3Aba5Wm8g
327Please respect copyright.PENANAyknxLlPasl
我的結界設置了生物驅離,所以不會在隊員們休息的時候在外面虎視眈眈,一走到邊緣後,我立刻修改結界的設定,引誘附近的魔獸們過來。327Please respect copyright.PENANAPN7AUPUmpZ
327Please respect copyright.PENANAOiap5iXR2S
正好附近區域裡有一群尖嘯獅,牠們一感受到生物的存在之後,立刻整群都衝過來,想要把我們給擊退,見到這樣都反應,我開始覺得路易的猜測可能沒有錯了。327Please respect copyright.PENANAdXo2Fw7H2J
327Please respect copyright.PENANAczihTBN95p
因為牠們不是想要把我們趕盡殺絕,牠們跟我們一樣,也只是想要把我們趕走,不是想要殺褥、也不是想要進食。327Please respect copyright.PENANACovHgNsZFF
327Please respect copyright.PENANA0ICDqGwV5f
這種時候就更必須抓一隻來實驗看看得到是哪裡有問題了。327Please respect copyright.PENANAqnofysIyaM
327Please respect copyright.PENANAl8z7yqCDdT
……是說,這幾隻尖嘯獅是不是長的特別大隻?327Please respect copyright.PENANA6kCsbVqxAY
327Please respect copyright.PENANAkFG4f4NF6S
雖然說老虎本來就很大隻了,但是這一些……根本是比牛還要大隻了吧!327Please respect copyright.PENANAgwOXOigTXN
327Please respect copyright.PENANAtS3TsD9eJZ
好詭異,這該不會也是跟牠們所爭奪的東西有關吧?327Please respect copyright.PENANAuM8vLckQ8n
327Please respect copyright.PENANA74MJe1JZDz
我先利用龍壓震懾這些凶猛的生物,接著使用馴服技能,那幾十頭兇殘的尖嘯獅立刻溫馴的跟貓咪一下,整群在我面前乖乖趴下。327Please respect copyright.PENANAlErlCC5TTk
327Please respect copyright.PENANAvfGCp2PLdn
「你真的是一個很誇張的傢伙。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAUuwQ5rwqSO
327Please respect copyright.PENANAO0ZUGzHXjJ
走在後面的路易直接對我吐槽,少囉唆,有本事你自己也去當那些神的跑腿啊!327Please respect copyright.PENANA5xROdT2FeR
327Please respect copyright.PENANATG7v1Gh5u7
「艾利法大人……這也許不是我的錯覺……牠們是不是……比原本應有的體現要大了許多?」327Please respect copyright.PENANAeOWKN1pgoc
327Please respect copyright.PENANAMsF1E406Fg
其中一個守衛隊的成員忍不住問道。327Please respect copyright.PENANAe6ej4zQ3K3
327Please respect copyright.PENANA3pn98MCrXx
「你沒有想錯,牠們確實大了一倍以上。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAVKV7qxKJ7V
327Please respect copyright.PENANAO5vH0u1OxB
我抬手在臣服的尖嘯獅身上釋放魔法,開始掃描牠們身上是得到了什麼,才會成長成現在這個樣子。327Please respect copyright.PENANAGGp3fC8mRf
327Please respect copyright.PENANAPFkOCDr6H6
……有點奇怪。327Please respect copyright.PENANAKX6KnMxoWM
327Please respect copyright.PENANAKCDdkN5dhf
我忍不住這樣想著。327Please respect copyright.PENANAqK4xNLF9mr
327Please respect copyright.PENANAvQH8348hoR
「查到什麼了?」327Please respect copyright.PENANA33KdNqlXWd
327Please respect copyright.PENANA9q510040JE
直到我聽見路易的聲音之後才回過神。327Please respect copyright.PENANAstQWhzlmIC
327Please respect copyright.PENANA2gCtxiMaoS
「牠們的身體裡面有種東西在促使牠們成長。」327Please respect copyright.PENANASjYnJyCFe9
327Please respect copyright.PENANA7sJPpAgyIM
「哈?」327Please respect copyright.PENANA6nNsXoHqy6
327Please respect copyright.PENANADBc0oWryLu
我看向路易那張什麼都聽不懂的表情,呃……要怎麼講才能讓他們可以聽懂?327Please respect copyright.PENANAcI500kRDHk
327Please respect copyright.PENANAD0BnNyh4mw
「有一種原本不屬於牠們體內應有的……能量,在無形的改變牠們的身體力量,但是那股能量不是魔法、但與魔法的形態非常相似,它是……一種我無法理解的物質……」327Please respect copyright.PENANA1YiL0WDogX
完蛋,這樣講有人能懂嗎?327Please respect copyright.PENANA0U5pPiRKaN
327Please respect copyright.PENANAdN9WyQ6x0r
「你是說,有一種不是魔法的東西使牠們產生異變?」327Please respect copyright.PENANAmF1MJ7dN2f
327Please respect copyright.PENANASIOVtiEUCW
好,謝謝你,路易,從今以後,我認命你成為我的翻譯官。327Please respect copyright.PENANAZinNfeqKGV
327Please respect copyright.PENANAUrE203q75p
「可以這樣說。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAybeu39f7zD
327Please respect copyright.PENANAl87VNdQNzD
聽懂我在是什麼之後,旁邊那些隊員們開始著急了。327Please respect copyright.PENANAwU7AtaBRrD
327Please respect copyright.PENANAT78o3iSAyP
「大人!您能夠查出那個異變的來源是什麼嗎?」327Please respect copyright.PENANAa5377fGyFl
327Please respect copyright.PENANArZgF00mgFp
「我試過了,但有些困難。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAi5ooYWafMH
327Please respect copyright.PENANAMTbyxgb6bn
因為不是魔法的關係,我沒辦法追蹤能量的來源,這很讓我困擾。327Please respect copyright.PENANAUKMrNVQJfA
327Please respect copyright.PENANAeTMT5p6ZcU
「不能像之前一樣用那什麼、信號基地台找嗎?」327Please respect copyright.PENANAHMeMJeovBg
327Please respect copyright.PENANApFL4edyXiC
「不能,它不是那種能量。」327Please respect copyright.PENANANLHm77nMrh
327Please respect copyright.PENANAlpn2qqSUmO
你也是很會講一些奇怪的話啊,路易。327Please respect copyright.PENANAq9H9EJM1uE
327Please respect copyright.PENANA5KhuHRIGYS
「我現在試試看,能不能讓牠們來帶領我們過去牠們想要搶奪的地區,也許可以找到一點線索也說不定。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAINvslNWB6S
327Please respect copyright.PENANALA0yJqzINX
帶隊的亞岱爾和守衛隊領隊分別點頭,同意我的決定,我正想要動作的時候,路易突然又開口。327Please respect copyright.PENANAI7M93Ys6g0
327Please respect copyright.PENANAXr52Jfx2c4
「你確定走近平原中心還要帶著他們嗎?」327Please respect copyright.PENANAe7Liv4eljE
327Please respect copyright.PENANAE9ckHOxlB4
嗯?這孩子在說什麼?327Please respect copyright.PENANAqSGfMT0H4D
327Please respect copyright.PENANAxnlHw2lUS8
我轉頭看向他,結果正好看到他一臉不耐煩的模樣……臭小鬼。327Please respect copyright.PENANAFGQ9439cgo
327Please respect copyright.PENANAs9daTt2IRO
「我說,你自己也不確定這裡造成問題的是什麼東西吧?還要帶著這些絆腳石去礙事嗎?」327Please respect copyright.PENANAQgkr6YkPvy
327Please respect copyright.PENANAda59VDtI0e
你就……不能幫其他人留點面子嗎?327Please respect copyright.PENANAIDOAmjIlrI
327Please respect copyright.PENANADIREtZJc1H
雖然說你的想法確實有注意的必要性,但是也不用講的這麼難聽吧……327Please respect copyright.PENANATIicehv7Vo
327Please respect copyright.PENANA3ydKyuhnCn
算了這種事根本不能期待。327Please respect copyright.PENANAjUEE2slGjP
327Please respect copyright.PENANAKxE6pySdKO
「亞岱爾,你認為呢?」327Please respect copyright.PENANAqN1bgxGvzv
327Please respect copyright.PENANAtd1kiWAvpL
有路易這樣提醒之後,我確實也覺得不能再讓這些人跟著,但畢竟他們還是負責這裡安全的人,我想還是聽聽他們的意見再決定比較好。327Please respect copyright.PENANACm9UOMGL5W
327Please respect copyright.PENANARrjwA3DzRC
守衛隊的人不理解路易,可能會因為被惹怒而說出些感情用事的話,但是亞岱爾知道路易,也就能理解我話中的意思了,至少不是讓我再一次給他們打擊。327Please respect copyright.PENANA37jMgsvnB4
327Please respect copyright.PENANAQdHjLhiFdI
「如果真的發生什麼事件,我們無法確保所有人都能夠安全的離開平原。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAB14RfMFhbF
327Please respect copyright.PENANAsIjG20GSKK
亞岱爾果然明白我的意思,馬上就幫大家找了一個台階下。327Please respect copyright.PENANAtcje3UECxE
327Please respect copyright.PENANAEcpqwR6fUp
他一開口,周邊那些隊員們便一同看著他。327Please respect copyright.PENANA7CLXisCbr9
327Please respect copyright.PENANATBjVGKEd1A
「各位,安全起見,特魯狄平原的調查就交給艾利法大人吧?」327Please respect copyright.PENANAFmmjbCDLff
327Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2hSUwSlcj
雖然成員們看起來不是很滿意亞岱爾的決定,但是這整個調查團裡面有八成人員都是冒險者,而他們是因為請託才自願過來的,再怎麼說都不好拒絕他的決定。327Please respect copyright.PENANADMfPE5xyHQ
327Please respect copyright.PENANAca90al6XiQ
因此雖然不滿,守衛隊的人們還是勉強同意了這個決定。327Please respect copyright.PENANAmCB99oFjJ9
327Please respect copyright.PENANAPW7VmHFiyT
「塞克利,你護送團員們回到平原邊緣,再回來和我們回合。」327Please respect copyright.PENANAJfbMRa1Woh
327Please respect copyright.PENANAFgsBLwjhd0
在我下達指令之後,我讓路易和芮妮,還有我家的尤納留下來,目送著調查離開視線之後,才接著繼續前進。327Please respect copyright.PENANAVGFyq9y1cn
