約定 - Chp 20

在接下來前進的道路上，我基本都靠著路牌在走。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO7VDazGL0
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBczrKQi7x8
不懂為什麼每當我詢問向路人問路時，起初大家都很親切地湊過來表示可以幫忙甚至有不少人說可以直接送我過去，直到大家在看到那地址後就紛紛突然有事情不然就變外地人表示什麼都不知道，一下子就逃得遠遠的。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhmTQ22kWn
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3sRZOeKt9
而看到這反應，我也深深覺得這其中一定有什麼貓膩。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC4Sys4kW3
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oWz8dLw97
隨著離目的越來越近，周圍的建築物也越來越少，明明位於市區卻越來越荒涼。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHoHxSkSgE
走了一段路，我看著周圍的草叢和四處插著歪七扭八的木牌，我看著已經沾滿鏽跡的路牌確認位置後，加快了腳步。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgz233lfG9
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR2ihB9fFr
快到了快到了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lVkzyidv9
在內心不斷安慰自己，盡量不讓自己東張西望。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR41vzqqF2
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaotSZOFAi
終於在走了一小段路穿過一片小樹林後，到達了目的地。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt8est6lC8
出現在眼前的是一個看起來相當古老的西洋豪宅，老舊的房子上纏繞著蔓藤，屋前的小花園也已經年久失修，圍墻上也佈滿了苔蘚，看起來已經很久沒人居住的樣子。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fL2cCxiYa
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8LkaOu5fh
看著已經褪色的門牌確認地址無誤後，我費力地從生長在圍墻交錯的植物中找到了門鈴，按了下去。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCITLzyr4d
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMln9bdEzZ
‘叮咚。’450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWyKawZOxV
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7uixqUYkz
意外地能運作呢……也幸好還能用。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1JtVh2WHH
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a4dIGm9pl
等了一段時間，裡頭都完全沒反應。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2UxTONkW6
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6pkVxAtfx
是沒人在嗎？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyU2NlVC2Y
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NgOCh4oMp
再等了約莫五分鐘也完全沒反應，於是我舉起了手打算按多一次門鈴。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG0ptgiN2c
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3K5NiPgIG
咔噠。吱呀…….。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQhF5goIPQ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLKzyptxB6
一邊剛剛本來還關著的大鐵門突然自行打開，我被嚇得後退了兩步，然後從打開的隙縫裡望去。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt1ykeYnjq
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5GZazwOpU
沒人在那裡。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCHTV1HTtr
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9h4cVx9F9
我不自覺地往後退，然後背後開始感到涼颼颼的。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCWAiVc2p3
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk1K016s8j
再、再按一次門鈴好了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yPDgKj7ww
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMW7XvmNqm
我大大吸了一口氣壯膽，再次按下了門鈴。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivC5OYCwtW
這次門鈴完全沒有任何反應。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp8WMxyetW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO3ydHw9Sx
不會吧……450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpn3ooBAYc
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OW8lVkwBs
我再按了幾下，還是沒反應。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDrVol6NMz
還是我把包裹放在門口……但這樣的話先不說我拿不拿得到簽收章，萬一它是什麼貴重物品就這樣放在門口不見的話…不對，就算不是貴重物品也是別人的東西，要慎重對待才行。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkHS1Bcaym
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd50rNPbg1j
「哈嘍~有人在嗎——」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HbDXG5Okb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ3dVCCFZr
朝著被稍微打開的門往裡面喊，還是沒回應。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuLDYDEkoE
還是我在門口蹲看看屋主什麼時候回來好了，隨便進人家的屋子不太……450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKfvtcXjBN
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWD1uvKcwG
「…誰？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV3ITwCMAj
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3iDjyQpM5
突然有一把低沉的聲音從裡面飄出來，我再次被嚇到抖了下身子。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV5MH3D889
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7uumgO6rE
什麼啊，原來有人在啊，真是太好了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7I4TnbDQQ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrKsBm07fr
聽到人聲我整個放心了不少。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdUoy3GBRn
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLowENHIma2
「您好，我是接受公會委託替身體抱恙的郵差前來的工作人員。這是您的包裹，需要勞煩您蓋簽收章。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwRhCE6A6L
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yhLjsZFpo
另一端的聲音不知道是來自哪裡發出的，在附近完全沒看到類似對講機的設備，如果人是在屋子裡的話，對方聽起來又不像是用喊的。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWYDIoj36k
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeZps4W72o
「……我知道了，進來吧，門開著。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsxBJgxN8z
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY6wndAHOl
「.…..那我打擾了。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ6vM0fuwe
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV570XszUzt
我推開鏽跡斑斑的鐵門，踏進了一處有著白色涼亭的小型庭院，雖然本來應該是蠻漂亮的，但因為疏於打理整個庭院的植物都長得參差不齊，看起來有點亂。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgwZaWCcyF
把門關好之後我穿過庭院走到豪宅的門前，敲了敲門。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPp9cgdIZr
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sQN5MUyZi
「我開門咯。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FaFxdoud4
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkV7MCrgyj
在說完之後，在我轉開門把的那一刻，我感到庭院裡似乎有什麼一閃而過，躲進某處花圃裡。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpGKfb78Yd
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoRwPAE8Ue
……錯覺吧。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqXSXAMWr3
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEmBfGBw20
我決定不做多想地進入房子，但在開門之後玄關沒人在。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5PMJWMuz1
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkuEEfY0Gc
「.…..請問？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNNiBNcfUW
屋子裡頭只有我的聲音在迴蕩，遲遲等不來回應。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6TlfWVLw1
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuujXSkGBgU
我鼓起勇氣踏進屋子，穿過走廊後走到了一個擺著各種藝術品的大廳。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpHi8BFBSc
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7lo2CGgVe
「到二樓右邊最裡面的房間吧。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4UdK5ytJW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77wXdzzVqc
剛剛在門口應答我的聲音從樓上傳來，我也走向了大廳右側的樓梯。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUGxzHu2WN
墻上掛著幾幅油畫，有畫著風景的，也有畫著人的肖像的，看起來像是畫廊般，畫中的圖像都栩栩如生，仿佛隨時動起來都不奇怪，我甚至還能看到某個畫裡的肖像眨了眼……450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmTeRQG6cn
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMz3leR43o
？？？？？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxdZ8xx9IV
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1VdM77chi
我愣了一下，隨即把視線轉向地板，不再東張西望。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVbCSYpJtc
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJloQkDmeb5
飛速地走到了二樓右邊深處的房間，我敲了敲房門。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G2mFIN9Bg
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OsC519rIW
「請進。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRy5bwExtl
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoY69rDCGb
在裡頭傳來了允許的回答後，我打開了房門。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYBz7FypT8
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGIpPEMFbR
這房間看起來像個書房，裡頭放了很多藏書，甚至多到書架以外還堆積在地板上，造成環境看起來十分亂。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6grNY4qHF
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZHUzEWSJQ
不過倒是和外邊看起來多年沒使用的狀況不同，雖然很亂，但上方都沒什麼灰塵。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2zISHui6U
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKZ8mmXOTL
而在有著對外窗口的那面墻邊則是放著一張辦公桌，上面也雜亂無章地放置各種書籍和文件，還有未蓋上的墨水瓶以及插在裡面的鵝毛筆。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjLG0t2LNB
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUkC63B13Z
……人叻？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xxjqtj8X7
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOP94iGVb7
我環視了四周之後，地面上突然湧起了像是泉水般的東西，我連忙退向門口盯著它慢慢從地面湧出之後逐漸化為人形。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcQVHsgtxb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylT5rpaj6Q
「感謝你專程把包裹送過來，因為現在主人不在，所以由我來做代理人。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw6t0JBZzD
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWUQYGhgpT
「好、好的，這裡是您的包裹。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw63aNBTgCS
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ANjpADH10
看著它那用水形成的身子，我戰戰兢兢地把行李箱和簽收單遞了過去。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJgQNZozm8
有點好奇它的構造原理，望向沒被淋濕的地毯，看起來應該不是一般的水。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhvE3BaFIB
它拿過之後也沒打開來看就直接放在一邊的辦公桌上，然後伸出剛剛成型的手在簽收單上簽名。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD1XqVOG5m
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1F5s8ShAP
原本透明的水跡慢慢化為墨水般，黑色漂亮的字跡浮現後，就遞了過來。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzB2zEofHJ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxAbDvNWox
「那麼這裡是簽收單，那麼如果沒其他要事的話我先行告退了。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lQ4egInvb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLvdMTRwBy
我接過簽收單確認無誤後，它就慢慢地從人形潰散化成水蒸氣消失在我眼前。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5eHu0Rxjp
嗯……所以我現在是直接離開就好嗎？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOGboWZhyb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHkeUK0Jht
突然隔壁房傳來了東西掉落地板的聲音，我嚇得後退兩步之後，決定什麼都不要多想離開這裡。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S5yUZL9Sb
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBOJ7iXvA3
快速地離開豪宅後，我往來時的路飛速走回去，直到看見稀稀落落的店家後，才放緩了腳步。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8QNwB5m2Z
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa00hdTtbb
「呼……」 450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXY0qhuoeT
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH6ZslG4LK
喘了口氣，我在緩緩身子之際，稍微往後一望離開的路。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwYvYYmBRN
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyH45LotNm
嗯？450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8P60KZCLv
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6quKqipKia
我揉了揉雙眼，確認自己視力沒問題之後，我轉過了身打算不再想多餘的事了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDwdB8JHnQ
我後方的路已經和來時不同，變成一處小巷口，且巷口深處就沒路了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRynjoADdxy
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sKrfCTrTz
算了算了，反正不會來第二次了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLumQ27w0x
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe1rlF41ZA
就這樣，我在回到公會之後，才算真正地放下了心，然後悠悠哉哉地前往櫃檯交付了任務，順道去圖書館拿東西。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3PmNWLPF2
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb2LrxDBdn
打開了櫃子確認完之後，我把鑰匙歸還圖書館櫃檯，就打算直接回家。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGRK4PROQ2
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfQk8tdutP
走到一樓的大門，我正好跟挽著男友進來的莉莉撞個正著打了個招呼。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpe00Paams
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7cqw92hBH
「剛剛任務結束嗎？」莉莉詢問道。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKSyKC3uEH
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp11AQQyeXc
「嗯，現在正準備要回去。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSBGAbwdfG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aJd1UMbSq
「那還真是辛苦了，不過新的一個月開始了，大家估計又要開始努力達成最低限額了，我也現在要去看有沒有點數累積比較快的任務。那麼拜拜咯~」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9nZNiXt4x
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0crEO8mJu
莉莉和我道了別，她男友和我點點頭示意之後，就前往了佈告欄的位置。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8lh1Wzabx
他們還真的是出雙入對啊……450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA90qaOHBS
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigbSEzapRX
除了之前的意外事故，基本上都形影不離，看到莉莉就會看到她男友在一起。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ0xfhKu98
我離開了公會之後，就直接回了家。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZl4bDAZ4z
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91E3Mixhkb
符咒之類的基本已經用得相當熟練，而且在學習了裡世界的語言後，開始知道一些道具的用途，比如之前榊原在商店街買的一大堆東西。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0J0OBfTRZ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVK01jLzyq
那堆東西也如我所猜地，有一半都是擺設用，幾乎想不到有什麼實用的用途。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv0lJedRoc
啊、對了，把今天的事情和莫璃說一說好了，說不定他知道些什麼。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE4xzy72x8
在把今天的事情打好之後傳給莫璃，我就去洗了澡準備繼續學習個一小時後睡覺。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVA1vSXANZ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfrBeL9Txn
直到第二天莫璃才回復了信息。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITTyIHHqsL
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ6rHW2qcz
‘照你所說的應該是有設什麼隱蔽結界之類的吧。而且你說的可以變成人形的水能夠在施術者不在的狀況下自主回答問題而不是機器性的制式回答，應該是相當高階的術法或魔法吧……不過我沒看過，所以也無法確定，只能和你說對方一定是個高手。嘛，反正以後未必會見到就是了，那人估計不隸屬於公會，如果公會有這種程度的人物的話我應該也會多多少少知道是誰，雖然我認識的人有些可以辦到你說的事情，但是都不住在那裡。’450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm13GnONUE
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmTUyR6F9L
嗯……也對，反正以後也不會遇到，就當成一個特別的經歷就好了，也不需要太去在意。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yzfvmrHGE
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsPdfNpA8D
於是我就轉換了心情，之後也沒把這件事放在心上了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cMHoD6Q4N
而且接下來我還要衝刺任務基本限額和學習，惦記這些事情也沒什麼用。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuykMGmdJQT
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKA2DSZMsY
然後再過了幾天，我突然收到了莉莉的組隊邀約。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKKhDZi5vy
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn5NO0IDBO
在我提出要先了解一下細節之後，就和她約了在大廳見面後進行討論，我再評估是否接受。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aKDnku86n
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Mbl7k9PU0
依約到了大廳，我在看到熟悉的身影後，不意外地她男友也在，但另外兩位就比較沒預料到。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0oM3sDCXu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsoxqcBtZr
坐在那裡的除了莉莉情侶檔，還有之前和他們在同一個隊伍的舉著盾牌的人和穿著鎧甲的人。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwT8MM54xG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOb1HndeeC
嘛啊……看起來這次會相當熱鬧啊……450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbgoVkDKAT
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3QEm4nWhx
我抱著忐忑不安的心，向他們走了過去。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIPDp6CVaO
