若干年前，西羅馬帝國宣佈放棄不列顛尼亞，萊亞 .斯卡雷特某種程度也放棄了。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTleJMl3ai
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9eViL0cti
即使已經獲得正統龍族此生可以獲得的典範能力之一「永生」，若干年後，萊亞還是活得很不愉快。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIkoJUfWIX
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA49lqkUNS
根據家族教誨，龍族不可以涉入人類歷史太深，要與人類和平共處，這是每個龍族小時候都知道的事情。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns92ei47YA
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGC0B9oTXH
可是現在部份長老指示，龍族要幫助羅馬帝國的人民。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dXbCLdEtA
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5sAjcJuYi
根據那位古代天龍族的公主——也就是被後世稱為天龍始祖的那位大人——的傳世之典，上頭明確說明了龍族有自己的世界觀，與人類不同，兩者是互補的存在、就好像大自然跟動植物一般。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqBIyvI0WB
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObHAtp9W03
不過許多龍族士兵曾表明要和那些瞧不起人的蠻族幹架。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp59MgTqauP
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDusTqy59VZ
因為各種矛盾，萊亞一度與長老爭論不休，爭論到長老換了又換、換了再換，萊亞說到最後，直接說已經不想再插手管事。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGlXUhS0MG
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4vQ3jF5N9
就好像已經鍛鍊到最強的蠻族士兵，面對軟弱的帝國軍隊，戰無不勝、不知強敵是何物……儘管如此還是不想攻擊。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh1gb1Xpri
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lCfQ9YYeH
彷彿是超級厲害的帝國參謀，與部隊一起處於蠻族自滿的大草原上，雖無地利、但還是有能力取勝……就算這樣也不打算出兵。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MGZ6K6muP
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7DCOputyR
某種程度，萊亞並不想要使用自己那戰無不勝的能力。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgDTmQ4SrG
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN3kT1zTR6
至少，他不想要對無辜的人類使用——特別是在看到蠻族侵犯他人妻女，可是自己人一方的帝國軍，也做過同樣的事情之後。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLsxbHyq4s
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebfQgit58l
這樣莫名的狀況，過去萊亞看過不下百次；如此無力的感覺，他在發現的那一瞬間，沒有一刻是不這麼感受的。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf3lEsXDLp
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOCQ4F0dAJ
但，萊亞現在還是需要去做他不想做的事，一件他早就厭煩的事。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsukqxx312e
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9GeqfGfTJ
萊亞被長老要求，要去做地方巡邏。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH6qASAj9h
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ495Uf4cn1a
巡邏是慣例，是每個龍族鬥士都需要去做的。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWZtqYgw4Y
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhirZWrA5fe
之所以「那個地方」不交給基層處理，長老考量的因素似乎很多，但聽到萊亞的耳中，他認為主要、也大概只有兩個原因。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQpLMlEufw
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrGTw5xLOz
一是要巡邏的重要地點，曾是帝國的重要戰略位置，部份親帝國的長老們不會放過討好帝國的機會，所以派最強的過去好彰顯自己有誠意。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaPYlrc7Z4
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgv3GMYYOh
二是因為那個地方，有特別多邪龍出沒，交給基層容易出包處理不好，弄不好還可能會波及到人類。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC9KbeeQ2q
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kv6yj4b1Q
總之，「那個地方」正是帝國將原本留守的軍隊撤離，龍族長老才不得以派萊亞過去的地區。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE28uzFdoc
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLxpdkofhI
是的，儘管萊亞覺得無聊，他還是受限於龍族的身份，需要去做一些例行公事——去巡邏位於不列顛尼亞行省中，威爾斯的山區，原帝國軍隊撤離的所在區域。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LxoVaxkRH
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G1zpAlWvY
而這，就是為什麼萊亞此刻又覺得有放棄、無力的感受。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtwyrYuoRZ
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xMWitbtdg
可能是因為如此，萊亞才回想起與長老爭論的各種回憶吧。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsarYXtKKRa
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGli0Wu58rC
「還是一如既往地無聊呢。」萊亞此時坐在一座草原上，望著底下的樹林，雙腳懸空前後擺盪，像個小孩子坐在海邊巨大岩石上，眺望大海一般。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR938WHQKTg
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tKgPEPWNx
——巡邏呀。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvZa3if6aq
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbijJbPrcP4
——就算說要巡邏，但這座山這麼大，到底要巡到什麼時候呢？224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnwWDuvQpJ
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYSPmlbbd2
「……還是來睡覺、曬日光浴比較實在。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQGb0ZJ8UA
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBBHpHxfkg
萊亞打了個哈欠，往後躺下來閉上雙眼。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkl06qSkjh
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrQW8S1M4c
但就在這一刻，萊亞就聽到附近傳來不明聲響。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1Lia8DtQN
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDxx5uvfDd
這並不是小動物的聲響，事實上，萊亞也從味道聞出來了。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWuwVtmewx
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXbg91HUOR
是邪龍族的士兵，而且還不是普通的士兵。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLAqLABYXf
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0fmIwu7tz
而且還數量很多的樣子。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwgxJj5OWK
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCqiAbzPdM
——1、2、3……嗯嗯嗯，有10個高等級邪龍，大概是打不贏吧。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5wErwsl9y
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBoRlB15Pm
萊亞如此心想，於是他翻了個身，讓自己的左側身體曬到太陽。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngRmoS60Nv
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10KAOyvObf
「喂，正統龍族大人，你躺在那兒做什麼？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPImiAAdxE
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54HHOUw16i
其中一名邪龍族士兵好像發話了。。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYByH6q9qy
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVpmJ73o1j
聽口氣，萊亞覺得大概這位邪龍就是那群士兵的首領的樣子。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrprr0enJ4F
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf531jXqLU
「不管怎樣，今天在本大爺的領導之下，這裡不允許有任何人妨礙那個大人找樂子。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHikPoPgG1
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMeIUlyiZe
「……嗯？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9lBaq7WAa
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yzlBMlUEv
——那個大人？誰呀？224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeIvhh9KRH
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrFMUaHaRf
萊亞沒有想這麼多，單純只是發出疑問而已。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6ZkUxKMBp
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZVeHBlxlH
證據就是，他在聽到那位邪龍族首領說話後，又翻個身子，這次是右側身體曬到太陽。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDauWBeRsG
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8Y9Bg8sqf
「喂！你有聽到嗎？可惡的正統龍族！」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo51N7HZmdb
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE83DDp0Z4
「喔喔，有喔。」萊亞回。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS50F61fgfU
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcAqargNu7
「你這廢物，還搞不清楚你跟我們這些強者的差異嗎？」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQgD9iVa6n
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qG72rxwWc
「……」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZmtH0h09Z
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2TJxSKk4N
——啊啊，他好囉唆。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqMB9SqVLm
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xaKug2M5B
——既然要死，就該死的痛快一點。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeykicDgXix
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecoG39Ae5x
——曬太陽死去好像也不錯呢。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTZMyTqeE3
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikWJI14VBM
「該死的東西，居然在我本大爺高興的宣佈之下，躺在那邊發呆？好，我就讓你感受一下我們偉大地龍的力量！」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHBZwjox6v
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMzXH7pH3l
——地龍呀……224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex8iAtAQIs
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZVwN3YcMg
天龍，是現代龍族的古時候的稱呼，現在的龍族只會在唸咒的時候說自己是天龍的後裔，一般都是自稱為正統。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIBJMBquCH
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywpN7Ox7hP
地龍，是古代龍族與天龍相對的龍族，他們的自尊極高，所以會時不時地說出自己和地龍始祖的關聯，無論有無在詠唱魔法。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JpLWTQEPG
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wmDWDqPfX
「沉穩又有智慧的地龍始祖呀……」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKz80sjWSq
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBNFaRK5vv
「請給予您的子民真正的力量……」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuXhpx0six
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsslxdj8uAt
那些邪龍士兵開始詠唱咒語，萊亞這個時候還是躺著的狀態。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2TiVzlqWD
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSilE4upoYD
萊亞此刻給人的感覺，就是放棄到不能再放棄，也不為過的狀態，但是——那並不是放棄自己生命的那種放棄。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49TJsnw0z1
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh4Uxv2l5F
「「「「「山崩地裂！」」」」」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhJ2z3o0Yp
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy6XAtc0b3
「「「「「地龍吐息！」」」」」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQM1epgJIT
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwopJpNebDA
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkSW8scn8f
「啊啊啊啊啊，無聊。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrtOj11sEW
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKtn8M5Ooc
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwFf7tbirl
轟！224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPD8g0y6LHT
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IjVmEtGxX
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcudK4nB6S
邪龍族詠唱完魔法的瞬間，萊亞只是一個抬手，一揮，就將他們的魔法全部反射回去。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjjEDsLVes
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxPDtk1ukG
塵埃飛揚，哀號聲也四起，但只是維持了一下子，就不再有任何聲響。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTEPJOr2f0
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxIwqII3KK
——1個2個3個……嗯，正好十個。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVu5kWAYaj
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRro1L9Ctl
——曬太陽就死去，果然很痛快吧。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8JKX9p4hI
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtllZaxMGyE
「打不贏，沒錯，你們果然打不贏我。」224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCpVejcGkn
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OvTah8HO5
萊亞微笑，睜開眼睛，站起身子轉過去面向那群已經化成灰的士兵。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUYQYRcndi
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmZtCUra8S
「爽不爽啊……唉呀，不會有人回答呢，我在幹麻？」萊亞說到這裡，轉過身子面向那堆緩緩落地並消去的塵埃，一手放到後腦勺。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLymOQsVfS
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuggMotMiJC
——好無聊。224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOEBnPHv4V
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh1dplUZlE
——不過他們說的那個大人？是誰呢？嗯嗯嗯……224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yl6LpIqss
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVci7xFpMb9
想到這裡，然後一如既往地，萊亞又打了個哈欠。
