走進森林的起始點，這裡與弓箭手村和六條岔道的地形很不一樣。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVNViolU34

將樹木鋸成一節節，鋪平在草原的泥地中作為道路，同時亦有盤根錯節的藤蔓作為裝飾。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4kVM9XK4k
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoMP8Jkws6
這座森林雖然被巨木所籠罩，但陽光還是能透過大樹間隙照耀進來，並不會讓人感到陰森。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf1TAPHLim

「我想想……不是的！應該得從上面的入口進入才對。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIiOzit5lf
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLusOEEO5JH
克里斯示意安提娜跟著自己。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9cjFlQKw7
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijHeDsDawy
兩人踩著木製繩梯與巨木藤蔓，一路爬到了高處的樹洞入口。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7LPMS7KVQ

100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7KwZVN1Vp
聽他這麼一說，少女突然想到昨天和艾瑪聊天的內容。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbJ8GRmPsY
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN02mwYYuS
「話說，你是什麼時候立志要當法師的？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRcZLOAA2Z
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkcNkdIc6f
「這、這個......」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5DwDkKrDK
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZXStmfR8t
剛好昨晚從艾瑪那裡聽到他的過去，就順勢這麼問起。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9KL9Vu0CD
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL7mv72x87
不過被這麼一問的少年變得口吃，顯然有些答不上來。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurfoUdgahc
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiMDWmq6aS
或許真如艾瑪說的一般，克里斯突然選擇法師的背後，真有什麼難言之隱。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA6i5ogrqO
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhZiiI8biu
兩人雖然對話著，但是步伐沒有因此而停下；不過對於少女的問題，少年隔了一下子才給出回應。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZT7tqOZi9
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYWWUe8uDI
「大概是一年半前吧。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ZX80ae82
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheddoOzJB8
「那你怎麼沒當劍士呢？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpohtkjXof
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gn292ry3k
克里斯突然驚訝起來，立刻想到唯一的可能性。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iww1L7jte
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AeOX7qSMz
「是艾瑪說的嗎......？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz69BXhbzQ
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM0SeUa02R
「昨天我們剛好有聊到。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfYpoB9uBF
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiczawbCsy
少年的表情看來似乎有些消沈，安提娜察覺後，覺得自己應該別問才好，而且也並非真的很好奇。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcpRrDdmBS
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl95y45Lr4k
「抱歉，是我多嘴了。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk6VGJ3NDb
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYgDRrYImy
「沒關係......其實理由挺無聊的，所以我才不太想說。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxIrN0Uw11
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9SKJUz93v
克里斯尷尬講到的同時，表情充斥著一絲沮喪。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RIA9eUlaS
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07Lr2VRU8O
之後，或許一部分也是想轉移焦點，輪到他向少女詢問。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi229lZNNly
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SAT9WACLn
「那妳怎麼想當劍士？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL9LjFFvI8
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKuPqHNsiR
「算是個偶然吧。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR9HI9t169
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwuvvK40wg
被如此問到的少女思考了一會。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EzFCKCK8Q
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ObzNhAU2y
「會讓我成為劍士的原因出在幫助我的人身上。因為他本身擅長劍技外也瞭解我力量的特性。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoN02mVbtJ
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3bsinGItM
「力量的特性？」克里斯不太明白。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxRwD3mCGt
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLo3hsgKBT
「嗯……該怎麼解釋才好……」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe4rZD67Mn
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1wms0kkwr
少女遲疑了一會，才接著向他解釋：100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKDVBZzrD0
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDww5Vi4mZc
「這股力量是從魔族根源延伸而來的憤怒之力。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzLeJ3Pfp6
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbxdd3YiwJ
「原來是這樣......。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdihGieXgir
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjhr37MwPg
出乎意料的，聽到少女提到魔族，少年的反應意外來得普通。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyrcdlz81l
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt7mWAt8bs
而少女也想到了最大的可能性。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsFMRTGyJy
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd9sU26bkW
「難道你已經知道我是魔族混血了嗎？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSUzzh9KOY
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3NVXUhxJz
「因為一開始，就有從艾瑪那裡聽說了。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o9iAtxZSz
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqpWImOJ0i
果然是這樣——不過安提娜並沒有責怪艾瑪的意思。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83bio6HVZP
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUweRWHNnre
「米克森和維德也知道嗎？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYSc4PhBC0
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ37J3ozcoq
少年嗯聲點了點頭。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANKBWEUCOS
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfaEFvZ05J
「那你們，為什麼還願意跟我一起組隊呢？魔族在人類的眼中應該沒留下什麼好印象。我之前剛來到弓箭手村時，也曾主動透露自己是魔族混血的事情，結果差點引來大麻煩⋯⋯」安提娜說到這裡，不禁嘆了口氣。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd8vCaiA1K
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkSLPajPFh
少女因此有點想知道艾瑪之外的這些少年對自己又是什麼樣的看法。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoAAtoe3IS
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemKleuYYFo
克里斯聽見她這麼一說，稍微陷入了沈默。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp3thIQ9Za
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwLS6C9HPw
「雖然有聽說過曾經的魔族軍團長幫助人類一起對抗黑魔法師，但前幾年剛發生的世界樹事件，一時間也讓人很難不對魔族起防範之心吧……」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmBwCWqYOU
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNJlXtWRIM
少年說出自己的觀點。雖然身為普通人並不了解當時事件的細部內容，但其中的部份情況即使是普通百姓也都略知一二。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpemVTqXTe0
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Vy7I2lrf
然而，克里斯接下來對少女說的才是重點，也是讓少女感到欣慰的理由。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW4eNqCI33
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjso0Pof96
「不過這些事情都與妳無關，我們自然沒有必要害怕或者防範妳不是嗎？而且當初艾瑪還特地下了馬威，叫我們不能對妳有偏見；其實就算她別提，我也絕對不會做那種事的，相信米克和維德哥也是如此。」克里斯繼續說道：100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI9lD32FbJ
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxcyrRsD0l
「而且雖然跟妳沒有講到很多話，但我依然覺得妳與我們沒什麼不同。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWO6iuQujL
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KWO4pB4JA
不只是艾瑪，少年克里斯此刻說的話也讓少女感到欣慰。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yZd9osd2Z
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC0lnjG0oT
「而且我甚至將妳視作學習的對象。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr0UptCccy
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmYpwFCHBG
「誒？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEx8kQeBKe
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sf3qVre2R
少女突然聽到什麼奇妙的話，發出疑惑的聲音，接著問道：100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gprJaebsZ
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL2n8hjmXV
「學習的對象，這怎麼說呢？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGWrvTJTSI
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp2rkXwX4t
真的無法理解，安提娜認為少年應該是誤會了什麼。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VhpT8HZTL
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwEC7HHq4D
「妳的認真，還有妳面對怪物時那種無所畏懼的姿態。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvXUSNxHud
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HXDJlSJ19
果然，如她猜想的一般，他是真的誤會了。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S5x6IDXxZ
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyTgdDrFTY
自己才不是所謂的強大，甚至無比懦弱；讓自己邁出步伐的，也只是建立在悲哀之上的意念罷了。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyYPByhXw4
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2FCfK6buO
「其實我並非你想的那樣。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqaKnCnHPx
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9WWPzh89Q
這次輪到少女沉著頭部，流露出和剛才少年類似的表情，無奈地道出這句話語。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vyrKWbnd7
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTDG0MBxnJ
「以前在魔族時，我通常都是群體裡面最弱小的，甚至到後來⋯⋯能活著離開也是因為他以自己生命保護了我。」她的聲音有點顫抖與沙啞。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy490eptdmY
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrQdpkVPOm
克里斯第一次看到這麼消沈的安提娜，有點驚訝的同時也想給予她安慰，但又不知道該如何做才好。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsjPPXZynK
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9I6xvMy5H
對於少女來說，那可能是永遠的痛楚，也是讓她堅定信念的理由。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7N458aynX
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprXCTQkJ1I
僅僅如此而已——少女並不是很想要講到這些，但對於他人在誤解之上的的欣賞，便覺得很是沈重。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIcNycMtcx
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYptH4kZBYD
所以有必要讓少年明白，自己並非他所看到的表面那般。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEgI8UcdIF
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXo34OI6db
而少女說完後，這一次在兩人之間的沈默，維持比剛才還要更長的時間。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNIyDstwtK
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpXptMpC6w
兩人已經穿過森林外圍的道路，又向森林的中心點接近了一些，開始可以看到零星的樹屋建築。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB9nAOu1Tk
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvuUO19FFy
這時，少年終於開口，並且像是鼓起勇氣般先深深吸了一口氣。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZGljdPnmo
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYee7AR9Jd7
「⋯⋯就算是這種原因，我還是喜歡這樣子的妳。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xtZGjNADn
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfgevHLKwT
彷彿告白一般的話語，讓少女不得其解。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKccApiJko
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlMmBpUvMx
而少年雖然低著頭部，但並非是剛才的那種消沈；只是因為說了那樣子的話，一時間也有點難為情。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAzcxpC8Im
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBFsAxtzMm
不過他還是繼續催促自己說下去。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYeMRqyneH
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pmvErvP33
「這反而讓我知道，原來我和妳並不是那麼遙遠，搞不好還有些相似......」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeULDQH62hq
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAoYzGw3oY
少女一時間答不上話，但是隱約明白了少年話中的含義。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRulBnVu5M
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlBR3iC7rB
這時，少年像是又獲得了勇氣般，將頭抬起與少女對視。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxK7fMLTRq
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgfsnaangJ
或許是聽到了少女的過去，使得少年終於跨出屬於自己的一步。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ1sLpyowX
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfF483qARO
向她說的內容，是關於剛才少女的疑問，也是他原本不想面對的自己。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNt3rznin6
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5VqznVoUM
「其實我從小就很沒勇氣，或許是因為這個緣由，才特別憧憬常常衝在最前線戰鬥的劍士。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYc8Y2hbxo
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT9KfgryHj
「可是當我實際拿起了劍，卻覺得一切離我好遙遠。尤其劍士又特別需要近身戰鬥，對於當時的我來說實在是很大的挑戰。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOPKt4WZiK
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSUM0FE6El
安提娜對於克里斯主動坦白的行為，感到有些意外。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhmK00KBjG
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAbFs4VjuL
「所以當時依然膽怯的你，才選擇不用近身戰鬥的法師嗎？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoLm7FXfR0
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDkWCboXJt
少年對此點了點頭。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7Gdxl87bT
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCy6XzKSyu
那對於他來說，應該是最不願意面對、也最脆弱的一部分。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b5YQFDTDF
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoziQiuNJlt
許多人都習慣隱藏脆弱，就算是在熟人面前，也不代表就能卸下包袱。更何況是對一個認識不過數天的陌生人。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLQZlQVXI8
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWyrJgIM52
但是，很多事情確實無法用時間來衡量。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTHcY4moC0
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z5bT6ha5t
探其緣由，或許只因少女的話語，讓少年產生了共鳴，促使他打開塵封起來的心門。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtepAC0SoCO
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0sJTgaQjl
「不知道妳從艾瑪那裡聽到了多少。其實她知道的也只是一部分罷了。⋯⋯從小就特別懦弱、總是被欺負的我，實在很想要改變什麼，所以我才跟她一起成為了冒險家。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrYMpLKtOK
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNThG7SrpKx
「表面上也許看不太出來我的膽怯，但其實這得多虧艾瑪，才讓我比較自在一些；否則獨自一人時我可能還是會做得一團糟吧⋯⋯」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIzYGiSnOq
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6sNAAS66l
少年已經完全打開了心扉，這是少女沒有料想到的事情。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmMOwAg51Z
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxkD9uMsXB
而聽完了他的經歷，少女也終於明白，正是如他所說的那般——自己與他的確有些雷同。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWhGgx4bnI
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNnfJ1dZTP
即使現在懷抱的信念各有所異，但溯其本源，那裡有著極為類似的東西。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzIqVYl4dK
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXTTy6KW5u
不知不覺間，兩人都向對方傾吐了自己的一些心聲。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5WGvplbl2
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yi83a1hH5
在這一趟短暫的路途裡，少年與少女，彼此之間都沒有想過，能夠成為對彼此敞開心房的好友。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeADcBg8S9
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVlPmqvvjW
而在兩人之間的氣氛，也隨著彼此的心意交錯，稍微活絡了起來。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DNNOrlV9I

通過閃爍森林的道路後，樹屋建築變得密集起來，而且除此之外，眼前的大樹更是島上數一數二的巨大。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3z81B4ijl
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdGsUSBkUr
人們於數百年前開始在這個巨木叢林中建立村子，利用木製繩梯連結樹與樹，讓人們可以自由地在大樹所長出的巨大藤蔓中走動，而不用到達陸地。因此，魔法森林也能算是另類的「浮村」。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89ulGDWcXR
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5sjDwAkfH
至於會被稱作魔法森林的原因，得從久遠以前說起。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBCS451GC2
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKetTwvIGf
這座森林在數百年前叫做艾靈森林，是妖精的居住地，但隨著人類的湧入，漸漸地改變了原有生態，而人們也因此與原來的住民妖精產生了嫌隙，使得這數百年間彼此存有很深的隔閡。是一直到最近幾年，因為眾多冒險者的協助，妖精才逐漸釋懷人類曾經對他們的驅逐。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIKkjDamyP
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5SHGnQhqS
而在這數百年當中，有一位魔法大師——漢斯，在英雄封印黑魔法師的數十年後，選擇在這裡落腳和收徒，並建立起魔法圖書館，使得這裡的魔法師人才輩出，久而久之便得到了「魔法森林」的美名。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kmfWaBzid
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGplesEuEr
「漢斯大師是在魔法圖書館裡頭嗎？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFIlp75XWB
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7xJUnQXGu
「沒意外應該是。老師他終日埋首於研究魔法與知識，所以大多的時間都在圖書館裡。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjs7bgxz17
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0txBMehZj
克里斯這麼說完就帶領安提娜移動到一間大樹中央的樹屋，那便是魔法圖書館。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWLs4lCitk
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvZvh1KBhb
一進入內，迎接兩人的是烏黑一片。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceuziOEKjN
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiXIfTSucQ
這裡的光源僅僅靠著牆邊的幾支蠟燭來維持，讓頭一次來到的少女浮出了問號。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJNR6zVcVj
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXkHJwjC3M
不過也在這一刻，少女發現有人在上方的閣樓。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmT03cX5AF
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hw9zFvUZi
剛好如同安提娜與克里斯的組合，分別是一個少年和少女；但稍微不同的是，他們明顯都很有活力，為略顯晦暗的圖書館帶來了生機。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66ODXqlmyC
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVCqVDeqaX
上面的少年注意到兩人，首先跳了下來。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe4rLit12W
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwevYThN3f
「請問兩位要找什麼書呢？還是來到這裡是想轉職成為魔法師？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE8HiNLUZ1
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaanTfFOcS
「都不是的。嗯......恕我冒昧問一下，你是？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40PgcF4XfN
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nKGb2XF78
安提娜詢問這名年紀看似略長自己一些的少年。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJUbc4dmIY
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O7R4t1i2V
但在少年開口回答前，就有另一道聲音搶先代替他回答。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrzu20izMQ
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsCiNAw3U5
「他是我的師兄哦！叫做艾爾文，是老師的首席弟子。」說話者是克里斯。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECupFsFYHB
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerZsGWfLEu
「師兄？…………啊！我想到了。你好像叫做克里斯對吧？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz6LOpRgkT
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJxZCbWgwL
那名叫做艾爾文的少年思考一會，終於憶起說出自己名字的克里。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyQW7BTSqg
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUzgONtSZN
「這麼快就忘記我！真過份欸！」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRuk30H8Vi

「啊不是啦！誰叫這陣子的事情太多了嘛……」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNwlNszFXp
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeoJGYLrXi
正當艾爾文說到一半，在上方的另一名少女也跟著來到兩人面前。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EHYEbe5Hd
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9csyxqsVu
「你好呀克里，好久不見！最近魔法練得如何呢？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXbuPxqwRA

100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3ADUdd9D1
面對少女的詢問，克里斯搔了搔自己的後腦勺笑著說道，然後他隨即向一旁的安提娜正式介紹眼前的兩人。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxe8wHw5gU
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c3CFBp6ul
「跟妳介紹一下：他們是艾爾文和莉莉，都和我一樣是漢斯老師的弟子，而且他們比我還要早接觸魔法，所以是我的前輩。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhpuAC3lMI
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj3U1G94UA
「然後這位是安提娜，是我旅途中結識的朋友。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN6MwWorhi

100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L3thJ5Nfl
這是少年與少女第一次的同步動作。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs1SVUq7qe
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CJkYUwyC9
兩人不約而同地互相看了一眼，之後是安提娜對他們解釋：100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ9KIk01O0
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSrAtRslYo
「我想你們誤會了什麼。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJS0cUy9pO
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx3w3OSwyp
「我們不是那種關係，只是剛好一起來出任務⋯⋯」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAiOCis0ER
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnVcXqujIf
「喔喔抱歉，哈哈哈⋯⋯」莉莉只好摸了摸頭，尷尬笑著。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMkmXMOFHY
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQPx877a4w
「就跟妳說不要亂幫人家湊cp厚！」艾爾文對莉莉吐槽。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx9AXQ4iUm
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR5EToARLz
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJpK4zRrGu
「那你們說是出任務，是關於什麼的？」短暫的插曲過後，莉莉向兩人詢問道。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sMemMNBvc
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KjIbqIooh
「我們其實是有一件非常重要的事情，必須當面找老師報告。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffUnJThlZm
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXitrOb8epm
艾爾文與莉莉聽克里這麼說道後，皆好奇地歪著頭，同時詢問：100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBySXgkZOr
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgrue6hAkp
「難道你們就是……赫麗娜教官信中說的兩位嗎？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7JEHD7xWe
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jEGpUDods
「沒錯，我們正是為了弓箭手村騷亂事件而來。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBApm5fPtj

100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9VU4UUu8i
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYDkst8Uzc
「可是老師他……」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARzbpHGEKs
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLRG0tH1uC
「最近都閉門不出嗎？」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyEKSXKUCx
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AnQEQDs36
果然如傳聞中的一樣，而且看得出來莉莉與艾爾文對此很苦惱，但艾爾文為了不讓安提娜與克里斯無功而返，決定再試一次。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7QvBRn0Mc
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeQkD3AMeN
他來到老師的房間門前，伸展了一下手指、甩了甩手臂、伴隨著一陣吸氣吐氣，最後他使出了唯一的絕技。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOfgLLAfRq
——瘋狂敲門！
即使這個方法少年已經試過不下百次，但始終得不到漢斯的理睬。可現如今有著人們需要幫助，難道這位賢者還是打死不肯出來嗎？100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ328WZ1cIqf
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcZE9U9Qc6
在一陣猛敲過後，少年疲累得癱坐在地上。如果今天換成一般的木門可能早就塌陷了，但是魔法森林是魔法人才輩出的地方，尤其這裡更是漢斯的居所，看上去普通不過的木門可是上有重重的強化魔法。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFQBkhWSaD
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3BTaVIOzy
少年比起身體傳出的疲勞感，更多的是心理的勞瘁。看來今日還是等不到老師出來了——他心想。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZCVFo3ikf
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7wVOhk7ZH
不過就在此時，傳出了「嘎吱」的門把轉動聲，瞬間讓眾人死灰復燃似的抬起頭，艾爾文更是直接彈跳了起來。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtUMv2yp8r
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ewJmWTnhT
從房裡走出的是一位全身雪白的長者。他身著白袍、頭戴白帽，配上及胸的白鬍，與這裡的晦暗環境形成鮮明對比。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b3mCzyp5E
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjusTb4Ocal
他正是楓葉世界智慧與魔法的極致；數十年來培育出無數優秀的魔法人才，身為魔法師協會的代表導師，漢斯。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT61PVvVco
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7pnxU0psZ
四人皆喜出望外地說不出話來，喜悅之情頓時浮於顏表。 100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5WmmKFxBx
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaAZL6AvE6
艾爾文和莉莉搬出了簡易的木製桌椅，之後五人圍桌而坐。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrgnE79gug
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L6wCYI687
「我有從赫麗娜捎來的書信中大概得知了，不過詳細狀況還請細說一下吧。」漢斯伴著沙啞的嗓音緩緩說著。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYgrVoWv9G
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXDckhK89X
首先開口報告的是安提娜，她在整理思緒後說道：100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87DwTNYwgu
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPq2InzrwR
「三日前，弓箭手村附近的怪物變得異常兇暴，造成不少前去狩獵的居民受傷，然後到了隔天，就發生了更嚴重的事，怪物入侵了弓箭手村並大肆破壞。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKoxPg5Ri1
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8raGzf9on6
「嗯……」漢斯邊聽邊點頭，「到底是結界年久失修，還是另有原因呢……這真的得好好調查一番。」漢斯摸著自己的白鬍若有所思地回應。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zei1mvwiu
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p05eOYWJu
「所以，我們這次來便是想請您幫忙分析怪物異常的原因與重新打造結界。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhAAAemveT
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF1PQnBX7d
安提娜說完，便從背包中拿出了赫麗娜交予兩人的麻布袋。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoPf2n91DQ
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrK2l1XtEP
「老師，這些就是昨日入侵村子的菇菇與巨人的遺骸。」這次換克里斯開口一說。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYUHfpFEkP
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOQBVV1QlK
「好，分析結果我會盡快做出來。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY2q0dvSNN
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccEUr30RDq
「十分感謝！那是否能再麻煩您幫忙修復結界呢？現在聯盟的援兵到達雖然暫時安全，但一直守在入口也不是辦法。在沒有實際根除怪物入侵的問題之前，居民們各個都人心惶惶。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNC0kEPmMI
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpEp5deAhm
「當然沒問題。既然影響到了居民的生活起居，自然不能坐視不管，不過因為分析術式屬於高階魔法，仍需要花費一點時間，因此我無法同時兼顧兩者。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzSi7R7BO6
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpGl8TcQze
漢斯搖著頭，並帶著有點抱歉的語氣說道。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaSxi6pWn0
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBuk8tk77W
「老師，還有我這個大弟子不是嗎！結界任務就交給我和莉莉吧！」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH6bObXiGg
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tk0hvuSr3
一旁默默聽著的艾爾文毛遂自薦，但卻換來漢斯的冷眼一瞪。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSiS2lcqjh
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIBqWsvXlH
「你比那些變異怪物還可怕，這樣的任務交給你不知道又會搞出什麼名堂。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA7KxyBY8S
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqPy8WLPsa
漢斯同時用法杖敲了艾爾文的頭部。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tYraKXgcO
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHnqiB4QKR
「哎呀呀……」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwgoQOHGvj
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5DzMKZVTK
少年因此哀嚎了一聲，然後像是習以為常般地開口：100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRapA28PSn
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy2wqHanxT
「不會啦！至少魔法方面是絕對沒問題的嘛……」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx76UT5g51
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIAQqbP8oV
艾爾文雖然是正經八百地講道，但是語氣總讓人感覺吊兒郎當。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrmDAmXjaT
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx0hZRPcr9
「我會盯緊哥哥的，不會讓他再搞出更嚴重的事情。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc3WAcg7Df
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRTU9TojPq
在旁的莉莉清楚明白老師的擔憂，因此她這樣說來。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegIFV81lP0
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ1enTXLZ5
漢斯微嘆口氣。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiRKeZ0jXM
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUmTo5SnvU
「結界這事確實辦好就行了。我途中也會請赫麗娜教官多注意你們，尤其是艾爾文你。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQuYdR7KgV
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XzwCDdiKc
漢斯再次朝他瞪了一眼。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM10j7VR3p
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtsPi6AyH7
之後，漢斯對著前來的克里與安提娜鄭重說道：100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr8RO3dUdf
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNkwLTW15L
「那這事就暫時這麼決定。稍晚我會讓莉莉與艾爾文前去協助，我則是會加緊分析來找出原因。」100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6np6NHjw5
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP5wGTwyMu
安提娜與克里斯聽完都開心地行禮致謝，隨即透過卷軸開啟的特殊魔法陣傳送回村。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iAapxO5Tp
100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ZRHYEpPQ
不過，看似一切都已經有了著落，卻有更大的危機在等待他們。100Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkrNcyIWPi
