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：380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy6OWYFr6p
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLry07enVtE
「好熱！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9glhplpDlh
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HscKKUNU8
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ830x6L5cdv
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1MqCJP5zs
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFuIFN9VOG
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOVuJYYw8N
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4iks8L2as
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJvX9HuZSp
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5naMc5haQv
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NqD2jRG0u
「這些人類的皮膚好白喔。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrphvObQVh
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwnXmJUWXv
「是啊，比其他地區的人類更白！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvDeFpYEHb
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTGraVDMng
「就連髮色也幾乎都是淡淡的耶......啊，那邊有個銀頭髮的女人！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LDAaFcc2B
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGinFrtdiF
「她旁邊還有個銀髮的小女孩嘞，想必是她的女兒吧？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY3bflQbX5
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EyJx7ms4b
「如果能把這對母女買下作為小妾，鐵定能好好享受一番。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciZwp2K5Hw
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw84kg1iOU
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XVKLxf8WL
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEUXyWRt2t
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AnzyR5HSv
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ZYpBU9SK
「母親......我好害怕.....」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWziNNpAWYz
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1r1wCjC9Y
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmdDQ2LH83
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIkM8YEvZT
「我絕對不會放開妳的。」烏爾莉卡安撫著女兒。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzCTf6ZtKA
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQWxShxjFi
她的視線越過黑壓壓的人群，城市的容貌隨即映入眼簾。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXg1UyUWUy
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qqn5u6zTn
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rJJOK4UD7
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvxQkrS2CZ
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwDjjUy8Oi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pv3KLwCf6
「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......」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtfdLalYlg
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2kyFYH2W3
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp8C6dPLRJ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfQx2GR8ol
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMugK1R9B1D
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSkxtUL48x
「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！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bqX8mIL1d
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyGER4YLcv
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUBgCE07Xi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aygoOPF90
「母親！母親！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD044rHd4Kx
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5O6AnZ5PH
突然間，一名人類海盜硬是把莎薇從烏爾莉卡手中拉開。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyFS4z7KIt
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIUam9MUYR
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDCQ614Pu7
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bIhtx2G5p
「誰都別想碰我女兒。」她低吼道。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAPoN9oNVi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOJnBOJAwm
「臭女人，妳找死啊！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn819YJkoR
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxI7cE9LH9
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHnZYXGHHQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT7nDhlZMY
他錯了。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b0zIHSqGT
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOmSQCc8qH
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E20rqCpAd
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4f9PpnY4X
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9nnLTi6Sa
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUcSP8cQCH
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinqr3Mo4Ri
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeIC4P3I8h
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdrxmspLcm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhWylIW7Dp
「這婆娘發瘋了嗎？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gOxE8eUZN
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc9U27iKg8
「快點找人制住她！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwgeBaxvfi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy0v6LziNA
「等一等，為什麼這女人這麼厲害嗚啊啊啊啊啊啊噗嗚！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbpbthHoxU
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DhteepY49
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz0adBGgym
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8KmzNXLo6
現場頓時陷入一片混亂。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZrBLtAAig
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJLRmFXg42
「我絕不會讓你們這群人渣帶走我女兒，絕對不會——咳！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCPA5flg3B
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwlRcDpdX2
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYb0HVdK3g
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTV5FFf0Gf
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQWQ7aWHFu
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcFoAE5o3S
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE0yXIjhXL
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmOZDItxva
「母親，妳還好吧！」莎薇試著爬到母親身邊。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMFDQ2BPqi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL6lW1qThB
「該死的母女倆害我破相，找死啊妳們！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ezbS6CaZo
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVzJfNbhfc
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyydpSljFZQ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo1IVEkUoM
「小心，莎薇！放開我！快點放開我！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvt4IUzFyq
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDTeC3mGHm
烏爾莉只能無助地望著棍棒落下。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnwxnq5JxH
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNw4ZBnbTO
忽然間， 一抹身影及時護住莎薇的身體，替她擋下這一擊。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbuAaqQ3ZM
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa0rhoqrs7
「艾......艾塔奇！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulSx6u9hg3
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HYjN5JDQH
就連烏爾莉卡都不由得喊出對方的名字。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnXnCQs8il
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAcqvQvfK2
「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！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQFqbc8q2u
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEV99DxGDz
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQyC3dXL3y
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUes529lbXi
「夠了！我說夠了！你是想打死自己人不成？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ofy8f0CyS
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY8uDwwoeu
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTV12ioFPi
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuQdi7JQpj
「快點把這群新來的俘虜押去監獄關起來，礙事得要命。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKawz5pHZAZ
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aHQO2yN5W
「莎薇！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUZ2PIFQoT
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0NrEQw5zd
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hm6HhlDZh
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZedryCYW0d
「不要走！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZMim7W52p
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH2PP0jwzr
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDKh7YMdh2
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLNvK1tekX
「拜託別帶走她！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAN7kj9pd4
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKk4nODQ2M
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQtNqC1vDp
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrUZvtNzV7
宛如掉入深淵般的絕望感，在這瞬間將她的內心給吞噬掉。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf11XpXfhEO
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywnj2836OX
「……莎薇……別走啊……」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdnwgNpwLv

無論白天或黑夜，奴隸監獄都是個悲慘的地方。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI53aglxCm
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kJSxtOmP6
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oQqqnkFxF
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlttWtRTdd
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZg40xiB8I
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S3uabDKmo
「莎薇......」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPhfBleim0
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpJM6gECFP
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9ygpXV83Y
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuRi0C8TWc
「夫人......烏爾莉卡夫人，妳還醒著嗎？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHM6Cf0bYC
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vF3QpfoAq
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfORdLqpcVT
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcAP7t4Nqn
「你......艾塔奇，你怎麼會出現在這？」烏爾莉卡問。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf13dtUS3f
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilfoOd1p5T
「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......」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqPvcE8Ycb
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH2wiuHNQ2
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzBObpjfOc
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjklrVYck0D
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxCyW83auq
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwmTpFpjAJ
「不用客氣啦，那是我應當做的！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3h6wbkZ1t
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZqSo0Z8H8
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNPYeXkz3t
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE4yGwSRAq
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HHTnWa2BU
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkUAkDWsfS
「......為什麼？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS7nc9wev6

「咦？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmftnhSyCD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEbKNdjClr
「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？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMygPnkvvF
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1sDFaEitk
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnmIBxJucP
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWZ9xMYH5i
「我猜這是自然之母的命運安排吧！」艾塔奇坦率回答。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3LKepT1dD
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRX5eV0kbd
「自然之母？命運？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITUEYaEKNx
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4cEKxdOFP
「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......」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RDVst8Gxg
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhEdcvEn0j
「可是，你只是個小孩子。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWlMGfeowo
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NOJMJL9Go
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQHjfvQyQM
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIwpLF8tnv
艾塔奇頓了一下。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOAq3VgFWk
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZwUe9qvRt
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCCVS3qDL1
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2macQnVqd
「是什麼辦法？快點告訴我。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYaqaPVqiK
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIMYAFy08z
在這個當下，就算叫烏爾莉卡去洗獸人的腳都願意做。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwsda6p2vO
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkibkxSjSo
「那就是結......結......結婚。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHK2w5GvY8
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlh41Py6DV
講出這話時，艾塔奇略顯害躁。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxokRwzKOI
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLiwOZIE3r
「結婚？」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm22zG70VWl
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPditlQnkJ
「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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltCNQncZ3Z
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE98mNJ5oi
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！380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepXtnNzzcy
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejVLo0oJEv
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPdibQ0UGO
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsTaNHv0CT
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwthmXf0RO
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkJuNQIjBh
「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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPkEwRmCIp

「果然如此。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfuoJPjWVG
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy09AB6UJHk
「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......」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gpPQWvh2A
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi9xkwy1WW
「唉......」烏爾莉卡深深嘆口氣。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkgTSq2eUE
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tlA4dsYza
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？380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jfi1oW8Bx
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BzzqKEHPc
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLWTQUGYo8
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsPfqDRxJj
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。」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCbZ8GoPpo
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJbE8YUCL7
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZjahZ1alh
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGZm7RXBx8
「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！」380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHobJH1Zxnh
380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusrdBqjIjI
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。380Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKecDlKYKIO
