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：30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybxaoDohzh
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7cTXobtNz
「好熱！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgSRUzFLYC
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QcEQky8RS
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRmSDRza5c
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtybU5MLGjy
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5PD9WKEUv
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKbgTTqt20
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2rZ0MDlw2
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4oVw2Zlc8
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nPUMhEIe6
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdE53F48kA
「這些人類的皮膚好白喔。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK64lXqjnJU
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDObTg24kDn
「是啊，比其他地區的人類更白！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLm9uWiNOq
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIHKkOQZ0e
「就連髮色也幾乎都是淡淡的耶......啊，那邊有個銀頭髮的女人！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWedFbE1gic
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz68M7ZvAS
「她旁邊還有個銀髮的小女孩嘞，想必是她的女兒吧？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJU8EdSEzP
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAalIkQyxg
「如果能把這對母女買下作為小妾，鐵定能好好享受一番。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl7Af3ttdz
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZugjTkNS6L
「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。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3H21GvqWT
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldZsmjgthR
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAJtr1ayEk
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCw0cMweml
「母親......我好害怕.....」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRBdUr3SxH
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkO8yQMbV5
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOZTLpsj9e
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIyAKs9hJm
「我絕對不會放開妳的。」烏爾莉卡安撫著女兒。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdf6US8xhZ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBZL9DyRrn
她的視線越過黑壓壓的人群，城市的容貌隨即映入眼簾。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYRPvbgbBm
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOLKfevBZI
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE4zm1oU82
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoysrt7EqkA
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiefertwa4V
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEktUubefDv
「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......」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3b8FJpR6M
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmycZ4p0aRg
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jAUDgUk1I
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYghVQvNdh
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0hehP3sUG
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6ak7FR4Rw
「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！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSKdYkiBC9
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFcZZNyf7g
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sr1L11M1I
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnlx502ZI4
「母親！母親！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NIFNWMVhB
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzBhc7uJQz
突然間，一名人類海盜硬是把莎薇從烏爾莉卡手中拉開。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvodTmLR29
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4BfMUyOlw
「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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8tSldGEz0
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsopoOqGCxz
「誰都別想碰我女兒。」她低吼道。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvMbh34chu
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zOPgcpreU
「臭女人，妳找死啊！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOAPOdyqTw
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sjpsudSDB
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9c3wNRSTV
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YvvkpNWsw
他錯了。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7ohu4f71V
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUZztlEVUJ
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijwOuaoKaE
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsMwgzhiI4
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAqJ36FEkB
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hOEQl0wbf
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOh3g8CkSs
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h8nFt29E4
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCr2yQXEtt
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68d8xfNNqn
「這婆娘發瘋了嗎？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoAJntKrEv
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFau3ZkAjBo
「快點找人制住她！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovDsxOsLQF
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ueDuND4jJ
「等一等，為什麼這女人這麼厲害嗚啊啊啊啊啊啊噗嗚！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZU4WxXNhLm
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV27ZwH2k8Q
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9t8sab1zy
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAJt4f8s0B
現場頓時陷入一片混亂。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxCgSjbNLy
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5CIcdcttR
「我絕不會讓你們這群人渣帶走我女兒，絕對不會——咳！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlJLWqsWcp
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Ye7yF6r0
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4eKtn2stQ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMtJqkmSlt
「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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBPt7oSXBp
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxWjULHz8J
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc0qrCGOlI
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqzWT3KTUe
「母親，妳還好吧！」莎薇試著爬到母親身邊。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSGrIemqWI
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxclb0HG9l2
「該死的母女倆害我破相，找死啊妳們！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxHiLA5u9w
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJYu28v66t
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1JafoNgkh
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgctKX59X5I
「小心，莎薇！放開我！快點放開我！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdOJFdeTjJ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK7xeqDOzr
烏爾莉只能無助地望著棍棒落下。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90yc3D5ACS
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklNrVEkEqK
忽然間， 一抹身影及時護住莎薇的身體，替她擋下這一擊。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtVIjqOxtf
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka8g4ByhNf
「艾......艾塔奇！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRblgbFqX1
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM69GEeo2rS
就連烏爾莉卡都不由得喊出對方的名字。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ewUvMMoLe
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn0GFrr4hl
「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！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l2hWDpF19
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhSatF23ZF
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMBkpEgc58
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDSEIX4WmD
「夠了！我說夠了！你是想打死自己人不成？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab7tjwwSho
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvx3Bpc4lS
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9w8jS5yZ7
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxj7c8NJE2
「快點把這群新來的俘虜押去監獄關起來，礙事得要命。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OO51f6dLW
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjT5odvWZ2
「莎薇！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVv6EN4kHX
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU6VbGaKhl
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8sbOJcY7Q
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsCWhw2tn6
「不要走！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAflWQx0BFS
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBJC9YdM83
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIM57W9VK3F
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRMNEBaDiy
「拜託別帶走她！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHSZG630Iu
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwMYHznrIn
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClOnYOLWfn
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vVLmXdtfA
宛如掉入深淵般的絕望感，在這瞬間將她的內心給吞噬掉。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiUSfk16Ma
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhOrAD1iZ5
「……莎薇……別走啊……」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgFGzGMAt6

無論白天或黑夜，奴隸監獄都是個悲慘的地方。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhDmrCRamM
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyYcmYXfFB
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLw7UzhmY6
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYP6r0SjlUi
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj3YlGhWkS
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡappYC48xq4
「莎薇......」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAP50jMOwB
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEr4ZEAnfM
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeNUUsHbta
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z4Mi0cQ8t
「夫人......烏爾莉卡夫人，妳還醒著嗎？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5XSmH9AeT
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwLhrYPY3O
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLoioZQ8nj
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzeaNbiy3b
「你......艾塔奇，你怎麼會出現在這？」烏爾莉卡問。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmHVYIrzUB
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwTpiM1tBk
「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......」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGJ7L6r14q
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJBwSL40hl
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96aX96EycE
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv98WjH89B
「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。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpBPb5M6QE
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJQpAG6oct
「不用客氣啦，那是我應當做的！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1dlTHLHn3
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLlpQzqVUU
「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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA7tSv6njO
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdTysbNoYy
「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。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S6ZJei3WX
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NCabYILMB
「......為什麼？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwn3wyTPhg

「咦？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H3aj0p7w5
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSCX4ofm27
「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？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh4NDmNOLP
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JiEJeU1Eo
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCQR49rKq5
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn3qWZ0aoW
「我猜這是自然之母的命運安排吧！」艾塔奇坦率回答。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F5DIKKqQX
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHm3kSt8Ac
「自然之母？命運？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IdRw8PJsa
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNKbAtWr7r
「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......」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mxBjsplEe

「可是，你只是個小孩子。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswXGLM8Uwp
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnhL1YctGl
「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。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm7CsGMAl9
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY3x3KS5i4
艾塔奇頓了一下。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wLlgdVkvi
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiJw8Kowtx
「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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipfP0bOTT1
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElEvW94T2a
「是什麼辦法？快點告訴我。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXFoFOEeuK
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L0zgxo3kl
在這個當下，就算叫烏爾莉卡去洗獸人的腳都願意做。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDKjkXr57S
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjphKC4uxm
「那就是結......結......結婚。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc2rCWFPLB
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CjYqEtIR3
講出這話時，艾塔奇略顯害躁。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcvOfO1fpG
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILmWlliF2K
「結婚？」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykIJklMClV
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXQ4JAHBrg
「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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDa7UoQyLi
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7htuDU606f
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！30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAZ4NJutMZ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp7MzCsvDQ
「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。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Rt5kPBDr
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqnCAipuPs
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3wODj3KM6
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmBdPm2ORK
「不、我沒......好吧。老實講，打從第一眼見到的時候，我就完全迷上了。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3FpkAd1C0
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnsXmllSIU
「果然如此。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJD2rCuKIyO
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGByMv1WWth
「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......」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CyVvvBqlb
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47hugeXoAv
「唉......」烏爾莉卡深深嘆口氣。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnGW86P8JZ
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtAlv0D3b2
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？30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeVJpTcXzm
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD7v6lMuiw
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXXvDXgMpH
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48lJwLRDji
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。」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFLO2VZNmP
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofgTv18J77
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATD6T6GWSe
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoaAX55xoo
「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！」30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwo0UDcoDA
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaJNF50iFZ
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。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECG6CBxvFW
30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNt60pq5on
「唔，你不會在婚後就把莎薇甩掉吧？」烏爾莉卡問。30Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2AfqN25MV
