烏爾莉卡卡剛抵達阿爾及爾後的第一個想法，同時也是最強烈的想法：75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4cwocOhkb
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTQ8FWiq6h
「好熱！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk9CjG5Wl3
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR7gRr4kEk
與長年處於寒冬或涼爽氣溫的家鄉不一樣，這個地方熱得叫人感到不可思議，幾乎要讓人懷疑掛在頭頂上的是不是同一顆太陽。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrePazoAvaO
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfE2wxRbqY
明明已經邁入九月了(烏爾莉卡自己大略計算的)，氣溫依然超過三十多度(這也是烏爾莉卡自己猜的)。即使是身處於海港碼頭，她卻絲毫感受不到半點涼涼的海風。刺眼的陽光毒辣得讓她無力招架，讓人不知該如何渡過接下來的日子。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkFq1M3RAi
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHWwqBv64J
當烏爾莉卡和其他俘虜被趕上岸的時候，現場馬上被一大堆興致勃勃的群眾包圍住。他們人數之多，就連她也數清圍觀者的人數。由於太陽帶來的炙熱，這裡的男人和女人(包括野獸人)幾乎都穿得很少。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u4zKfvL6c
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8qPHBM8y0
群眾裡頭有野獸人，也有人類，但並不是為了對俘虜表達輕視或同情而來，單純是出於純粹的好奇心，就像是欣賞稀有動物一樣。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkBrsEA5BP
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdXxqNpQ62
「這些人類的皮膚好白喔。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGVN6oxyNh
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CD93mUqPB
「是啊，比其他地區的人類更白！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe6o1LHsTG
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd7ebP0IUx
「就連髮色也幾乎都是淡淡的耶......啊，那邊有個銀頭髮的女人！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieuhh3jfGQ
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqYopHCtou
「她旁邊還有個銀髮的小女孩嘞，想必是她的女兒吧？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIhsSa6pe1
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8tBF4N3wd
「如果能把這對母女買下作為小妾，鐵定能好好享受一番。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjS930SWcl
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhC991Qz7u
「你少做夢啦！這種一看就知道是極為珍貴的商品。假如沒被船長或咱們市長給挑掉，到時候在奴隸市場上一定賣得超貴。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn77MkhbbM0
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o3fuKdTp6
烏爾莉卡聽見周遭傳來各種各樣的談笑聲，她雖然聽不懂但也曉得不是什麼令人愉快的話題。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS1kIYBjx8
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4knX2ziqDq
「母親......我好害怕.....」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ABb8DPFMy
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO3eIsgu2I
烏爾莉卡感覺到莎薇靠在自己身邊，因此她回握住女兒的小手。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYfFxL8Iph
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEumh8kyZzR
「我絕對不會放開妳的。」烏爾莉卡安撫著女兒。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5GSECPaCe
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz68C0vDuMR
她的視線越過黑壓壓的人群，城市的容貌隨即映入眼簾。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhatPRDnwN
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoloGDmHuPj
它是由石灰岩石堆起的白色城市，沿著山坡建造成而。它在靠近山頂的上端非常狹窄，越靠近海邊的區域則非常長、非常寬。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ9LoVmK5x
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSe9UnaRKY
然而，這座外表呈純白色的城市，帶給烏爾莉卡的卻是充滿黑暗的未來。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRQflPlmCQ
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UykHdGliF
「這就是我未來居住的地方嗎？」她喃喃自語：「還是說，我會被賣到更內陸的地方，永遠也見不到大海呢？連隔海眺望自己故鄉這件事都做不到......」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFOatL0V0C
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGBbfeKBDW
正當她心亂如麻之際，隊伍前方忽然傳來不小的騷動，另外還有海盜喝斥俘虜的聲音。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9peoRgnGYL
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLulSGzfFGQ
有別於剛才的炎熱，一股冰冷的寒意爬上烏爾莉卡的背脊，又像是心臟被一隻冰冷的手給握住……不祥的預感，迅速地在她的心頭內擴散開來。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjxfsaI1ks
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2EXpxIMTA
「所有男人往這邊走，女人則到那一邊去！小孩也是，把小孩從父母身邊拉開來全部送去別地方！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ip7CuQtCT
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06x3jTfqDw
果不其然，她驚覺到海盜正在將他們捕獲來的戰利品分門別類：男人、女人，以及超過五歲的孩童全都各自分為一個隊伍；父母與孩子硬生生地被拆散開來。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzV8i4xkuI
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSFaNOrm85
「母親！母親！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ128zOKHS
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuirDdk0xl
突然間，一名人類海盜硬是把莎薇從烏爾莉卡手中拉開。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz4SYn7D4i
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYW9GcSiFE
「你做什麼？快放手！」烏爾莉卡想都沒想就衝上前，當場拍開對方的手臂。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzBvphDqVi
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUfTfAtj7z
「誰都別想碰我女兒。」她低吼道。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbnqasju9m
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR8p6rhAZD
「臭女人，妳找死啊！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93IFcZygys
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfawb7hoCTC
這名人類海盜朝著烏爾莉卡的臉頰揮出一巴掌——那是毫無創意、毫無技巧的一擊。他大概以為烏爾莉卡會樣過去他遇過的女人一樣，站在原地呆呆地驚恐尖叫，然後被他打得中昏過去，或許再補給腳以防外一。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQJ6j7OkOU
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylIIHui8tT
他錯了。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8m4bQkXyV
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiktXelu71
更精準地說，烏爾莉卡確實是個女性，這一點無庸置疑。但是，她卻沒有像小女生般大哭、尖叫，呼天搶地——不，她只是輕輕的、輕描淡寫地側身躲開了空洞的攻勢。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodt34d84I2
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ySXudl8o8
下一秒，烏爾莉卡回以對方一記正拳，拳頭狠狠砸在人類海盜的正臉，當場把他的鼻梁給打歪。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h2XryCPv3
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMJ2cTPYLm
當他飛出去與人群撞在一起的同時，從鼻孔飛濺出的鼻血好像還在空中化成一道弧形噴泉，結果現場圍觀的觀眾全都開心鼓掌叫好，歡呼聲熱烈得讓人以為在看什麼好戲。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SQgIlOMdF
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2JLWmKKvG
不論身在何處，人們似乎總是喜歡看熱鬧；這是烏爾莉卡的心得。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SI1vOSPnn
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFaP6ErEQN
「這婆娘發瘋了嗎？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fla5soG61
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFes1q4LIrW
「快點找人制住她！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZXtffaSqn
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsoIohGFUM
「等一等，為什麼這女人這麼厲害嗚啊啊啊啊啊啊噗嗚！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtUC3C9OMi
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccDkQngyVk
一連幾個人類海盜撲上前，但卻被烏爾莉卡接連擺平，不是被擊倒在地上，要不然就是被丟到碼頭下方的海水之中。見到這幅景象，其他俘虜都也紛紛哭喊起來並抱住自己的親朋好友。人類海盜和其他野獸人彎下身子，試著把抱成一團的人類俘虜們拉開，粗暴地抓著他們們的肩膀和手臂。但他們仍緊抱著彼此，彷彿已合為一體。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxhCu6Um1O
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tO77k0pIK
現場頓時陷入一片混亂。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId9EJyZusw
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2GRrhnpqp
「我絕不會讓你們這群人渣帶走我女兒，絕對不會——咳！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWugrmg0HRK
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbmUwXZ9gc
猛地，烏爾莉卡感受背部傳來一記重擊，整個人摔倒在地上。她同時被好幾雙毛茸茸的巨大手掌給壓制住，身子完全動彈不得。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBE97csF76
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15nMG4w8j0
「野獸、可恨的野獸人......」即便烏爾莉卡的技巧再怎麼高明，面對天生的體型差距仍毫無招架之力。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIpACZFCb0
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EQry55Fh2
這時負責管理秩序的守衛也抵達現場。他們手持短棍等器具，猛打俘虜們的肩膀或手背，痛得俘虜不得不鬆手。父母、孩子與親友們再度被連拖帶拉回自己的隊伍，不論怎麼尖叫哭鬧都沒有半點用處，甚至可能換來更嚴厲的毒打。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QxhBPgpiM
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFmmFUefgQ
「母親，妳還好吧！」莎薇試著爬到母親身邊。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnkCIkJqKi
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhnHXTwzHI
「該死的母女倆害我破相，找死啊妳們！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2PqSjMEWd
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5bR6eQUdr
烏爾莉卡抬起頭，赫然看見剛才毆打的那名人類海盜走了過來。他舉起粗壯的木製短棍，準備朝女兒嬌小的身軀狠砸下去。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEBkTbDtKR
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70fi2Psgsm
「小心，莎薇！放開我！快點放開我！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KM1su0V5A
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ15wYesgUD
烏爾莉只能無助地望著棍棒落下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzJ7c7WR0u
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcuu7IZfLh
忽然間， 一抹身影及時護住莎薇的身體，替她擋下這一擊。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsgrgewk1J
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiimLZBAiZ
「艾......艾塔奇！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOLIKuP8fU
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQJ487JBxJ
就連烏爾莉卡都不由得喊出對方的名字。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeHFNfHqJH
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJculvkcpEm
「拜託不要反抗，烏爾莉卡夫人。」艾塔奇壓低身子，用沙啞的聲音對烏爾莉卡說道：「莎薇不會有事，我保證嗚嗯！我保證她不會有——嗚呃！咳啊！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvNjXJZ2ZN
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc9XaZ1fv4
只見人類海盜不停用棍棒猛打艾塔奇的背部，一下、兩下、三下，四下，每次都使勁全力。但是這名鬣狗少年卻絲毫沒有移動的打算，捲曲身子的他抱緊著莎薇，避免銀髮小女孩遭受毒打。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1ndTNW9uC
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUXAmHI4nn
「夠了！我說夠了！你是想打死自己人不成？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqAXGpu7T3
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumO27A1Ji5
此時一名野獸人守衛走來，輕易將人類海盜手中的棒子奪走。接著他踢開彷彿已經失去意識，毫無反應的艾塔奇，並叫其他人把莎薇抓入屬於小孩子的隊伍中。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fzmzecepY
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSHR2VScwE
「快點把這群新來的俘虜押去監獄關起來，礙事得要命。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqLA6jhJoz
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbwUbVFHpR
「莎薇！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30VuboHjJR
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOccl2divb
烏爾莉卡朝著莎薇被帶走的身影伸出的手，手指像要抓住空氣似的彎曲，卻又像被無形的牆壁給擋住似地無法移動。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwYKS5FkIv
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdpyinEaPL
「不要走！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZWXI4TglY
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIccvg8EU1
她的脈搏加速，胸口呼吸的起伏越來越大，幾乎快讓他喘不過氣來。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKesLtFD2O
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9ITBomW20
「拜託別帶走她！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7JLp28Dhq
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27So6fUmKU
平時總是表現得自信十足，堅強無比，但此刻烏爾莉卡卻流下淚水。她不自覺地握緊拳頭，感受到指甲崁入肌膚裡的疼痛；那和心中的痛楚相比較起來根本不算什麼。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviHPdFq5rJ
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjfeZMF1aZ
宛如掉入深淵般的絕望感，在這瞬間將她的內心給吞噬掉。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYO10nOo2t
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxSyPBXS2x

無論白天或黑夜，奴隸監獄都是個悲慘的地方。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdwzxsDCPR
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrGRgtiMhH
在狹小、潮濕牢房的骯髒環境中，數百名俘虜擠在自己的牢房內。即使入夜了，天氣依舊悶熱無比。許多與烏爾莉卡一樣來自北方的俘虜，全都因不同於家鄉的炎熱溫度而衰弱憔悴、幾近奄奄一息。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE4qZkqhN8
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61gJLDyXF7
由於烏爾莉卡早先引起的騷動，她被關押在一個空間極小的單人牢房中。她沒辦法躺下，她只能蹲靠在角落，雙手抱著膝蓋、頭埋進雙腿間，像是回到了人類最原始的狀態，想要尋找安全感，可惜她卻無法找到一絲慰藉。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEV3gNpIGc
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3t4xRty9n
「莎薇......」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthJ2c0502v
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPU4HbHiSE
腦袋中一次又一次浮現出莎薇被帶走的那一幕，烏爾莉卡甚至不曉得能否再度見到女兒。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47qS7oNTPM
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IJC8BwUsj
「夫人......烏爾莉卡夫人，妳還醒著嗎？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYyI3aWZzk
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1bmbPaXuK
烏爾莉卡微微抬起目光，正好看見鬣狗少年一拐一拐走向她。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ha1brKXFH
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmEhXgkRfy
「你......艾塔奇，你怎麼會出現在這？」烏爾莉卡問。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaFS8rKUFU
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgdcDta8Vc
「這裡本來就不是什麼戒備森嚴的地方。另外，我也有自己的管道啦。別看我在船上只是個打雜工，其實我小有人脈痛痛痛......好痛啊......」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnp0wVQqmu
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfWJd80QK8
當艾塔奇試著盤腿坐下時，他的身體似乎疼痛不已，就連耳朵和尾巴上的毛髮都根根豎起。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSViEo0OkVh
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybD6cPq8G2
「在白天的時候......你保護了莎薇.......」烏爾莉卡以虛弱的口吻道：「......謝謝。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILidumcvnl
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ebgBiYyge
「不用客氣啦，那是我應當做的！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8ADGqZOFp
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdg9f3t0jE
「莎薇現在在哪裡？難不成她已經被賣掉——」烏爾莉卡語帶哽咽，說不下去。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lb4lX24sD
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndv6qSkix1
「請放一百二十個心，夫人！莎薇正被關在您樓下的牢房內，沒有受到任何虐待或傷害。我剛剛已經去察看過她了，還偷偷給塞她一小塊糕點填飽肚子。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdNVIGLDa4

「咦？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUn4O60enU
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ22EdA6Iy2
「為什麼你要這麼做？獸人海盜俘虜了島上幾百個居民，為什麼你偏偏要保護莎薇？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFJZKAmNV8
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBppF4ZB4cZ
烏爾莉卡的雙眸直勾勾地盯著艾塔奇，彷彿能看到他的靈魂深處。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMLEeWUmj0
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WK0ymaN4s
「我猜這是自然之母的命運安排吧！」艾塔奇坦率回答。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ888chqWr7t
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuA38TXjV4
「自然之母？命運？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDK6YGoALR
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHicaimiAQ
「不瞞您說....我的母親也曾是一名奴隸，所以我很討厭販賣奴隸這種行為。」艾塔奇娓娓說道：「然而，阿爾及爾正是以販奴為主的商業大城。我並不想裝做一副假清高的模樣，但盡量避免和奴隸販子有直接接觸，結果只剩下一些零工能做......這回我誤上賊船，親身參與這場對人類王國的劫掠，對我內心的打擊也很大呀！因此我想為妳們做點什麼......」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL3xEVOOG1

「可是，你只是個小孩子。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcxyXQwJas
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23rfpTRSPR
「夫人說得沒錯，我只是個孩子，對於改變這個體制無能為力。恐怕等到幾天後，妳和妳的女兒就會被送上奴隸市場拍賣。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtcZojB8p3
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhqwwahqUl
艾塔奇頓了一下。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSlSkRXxhh
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD1kiwYIGt
「所以我想到一個辦法，能夠避免莎薇淪落為奴。只怕夫人會覺得我是個趁人之危的小人......」他低聲說。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RO9F3WC7O
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GtWgkryiK
「是什麼辦法？快點告訴我。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazAPzhkofB
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsbUx0tPuu
在這個當下，就算叫烏爾莉卡去洗獸人的腳都願意做。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZJaXS4yoO
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd90SiFJtgQ
「那就是結......結......結婚。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxZUfF22XS

講出這話時，艾塔奇略顯害躁。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdfBvF01EC
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoaFnuaYk3
「結婚？」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1yenaZH1G
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn4ytmn746
「當然，這是在俘虜正式被販賣為奴隸之前的規定。身為獸人的我只要跟人類俘虜結婚，另一半就會成為自由民......」艾塔奇的聲音越來越小。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3su5xGRjh
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlndcLItBYI
烏爾莉卡聽聞後深吸一口氣：原來如此，這名少年看上了莎薇，還想把她娶進門！75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyhKRuvhRa

「你早就已經有這個打算了吧？打從我和莎薇被俘虜上船開始，甚至是在這之前......呵呵。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthsSkFKrCc
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUwU0j5QXa
烏爾莉卡本想苦笑兩聲，卻發覺臉蛋異常僵硬，她用很大的力氣才鬆開胸中那口氣。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe6bKM9A0l

「果然如此。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG4T3riwtM
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcHH98dfmj
「當我被夫人怒罵『幫助我女兒別讓她成為奴隸』之後，我拚~~~了命地努力思考該怎麼幫忙。我沒有多少錢，無法在拍賣會上標下妳和莎薇兩人。所以我只好想出這種法子......」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltbKQiOts9

「唉......」烏爾莉卡深深嘆口氣。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKWeuIp8l4
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ntTTRPb44
烏爾莉卡從未想過將自己的女兒嫁給一頭野獸人，更別說以這種形式了；不過仔細一想，她當初嫁給伯爵丈夫的時候，不也是充滿各方貴族的利益算計嗎？75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTBqs1Er1H
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOkDCtBReF
先不論艾塔奇是否真心愛著女兒，這仍是個避免讓莎薇淪落為奴的大好機會。烏爾莉卡暗暗心想，至於之後會發生什麼樣的事情，都可以晚點再去考慮。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaWpAdcesZ
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgklk55cKW
只見烏爾莉卡沒有反應，艾塔奇繼續說下去：「我已經下定決心了。就算被夫人認為是趁人之危，我也不介意。」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5cRvUVbFL
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHcEnEnlGE
這時他從口袋中拿出一張皺巴巴的羊皮紙，上頭寫滿了密密麻麻的文字。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutybWXKDlp
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuctqxsrTK
「這是我們獸族的婚姻契約，稱之為尼卡罕(nikah)。只要夫人在上面簽名，這門婚姻就算成立了。這紙契約具有嚴格法律效益，絕非隨隨便便的文件。由於我本人還未成年，所以簽名後我必須找鬣狗氏族的族長做認證。我會在夫人和莎薇被推上奴隸市場前回來的！」75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYgpDC5GvM
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14r4lxLgAT
啊，莎薇畢竟還未成年，必須由身為母親的我代為簽名。烏爾莉卡心想。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc4ZCfLGNQ

「唔，你不會在婚後就把莎薇甩掉吧？」烏爾莉卡問。75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZZ6jtG7ei
