最美麗的永夜女王，看起來是位二十歲左右的少女，實際上應該已經有了上千年的生命了。
花了三天的時間，一行人終於走出了那片單調而沉悶的山谷。映入眼簾的，是一座濃密而壓迫的森林。林木高聳入雲，枝葉層層交疊，宛若一張無邊無際的黑幕，將天光死死擋住。河谷中潺潺流淌的溪流，也在森林邊緣被幽暗吞噬，消失得無影無蹤。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRIc2JP5RD
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j06o8uDaf
夸斯特緩緩環視四周：前方，是一眼望不到盡頭的黑森林；而身後，則是由山谷延伸出的兩道陡峭山壁，猶如巨獸張開的血盆大口，將出口牢牢咬住。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnda6w6gl5
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDzPFpGGVw
山壁下方佈滿了嶙峋怪石與蜿蜒曲折的支流，路徑險惡，幾乎無法通行。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26f81aaYmV
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Ck4L9FYE
夸斯特低頭查看地圖，與泰倫斯、公主一同商討前路。然而，地圖上同樣只是一片密密麻麻的綠海，毫無明確的地標。仿佛這座森林本身，便是專為迷失而存在的陷阱。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bULEXJrPZ
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5MBGOX9bi
沉默良久，夸斯特終於嘆了口氣，緩緩開口：「看來，只有進森林了。」9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYFux4OTWk
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4PDyuApB7
這句話，猶如一顆重錘，敲在眾人心頭。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVRYnzsLf9
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3WFJju4Gv
因為沒有人知道，在那濃稠如墨的暗影深處，會藏著怎樣未知的恐懼。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2bl9iCeLi
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzMV3bCf6o
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJl5nM3auB
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsIz1xYx6Q
夸斯特最終做出決斷，帶領隊伍深入森林。這次，由塔庫魯與泰倫斯擔任前鋒。一來仰仗泰倫斯豐富的野外經驗，二來，塔庫魯近來的表現，已經贏得了全隊的信任。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbVqWdJmCG
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6UULFBiaz
然而，這永夜森林的地形遠超預期，崎嶇難行，藤蔓與樹根盤踞地面，稍不留神便會絆倒。僅第一個小時，伊莉莎就摔了三次，連她那慣常的從容神色也染上幾分狼狽。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQK33BCZYO
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU0IoHnvSB
藤蔓橫生、濕滑的苔蘚，與突兀冒出的根莖交織成天然的陷阱，每一步都充滿險惡。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPNxkuJwII
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkyreVsavR
大約二十分鐘後，塔庫魯心頭一緊——他感覺到了一股隱晦的視線，像是無形的絲線般纏繞在隊伍周圍。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrkUEkjMcb
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJxig1tg52
而且，這並非來自單一方向，而是從四面八方，越聚越多，如同密林中的潛伏者，靜靜等待獵物落入網中。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASNBr5n0fI
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6IYXFZJuO
塔庫魯立刻將異狀告知泰倫斯。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkdm67jLEs
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5noxlGAEkW
泰倫斯當機立斷，揮手示意全隊停下，蹲下身仔細觀察。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFpXbqctCf
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKp67QkOXg
然而四周靜悄悄，除了濃重的黑影與間或飄過的霧氣，什麼異樣也無從察覺。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XqzzNKrDL
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKWMK5k1a7
泰倫斯搖了搖頭，輕聲示意：「小心戒備，但先繼續前進。」9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrDrZHQfCY
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI0m3AkyMX
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh0vGS88mu
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNACknjbJ4i
不到十分鐘後，隊伍前方，兩棵粗壯的古樹之間，懸掛著一塊扁牌。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA6boJrLmm
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgmn0MOe2f
牌面斑駁古舊，藤蔓纏繞，但隱約可見奇異的紋路。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR5C3yYOSs
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDcKkomqDw
塔庫魯一眼認出，這種標誌他並不陌生——正是先前當他被金獅國追擊時，誤入禁地時所見到的相同款式的標牌！9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo63oTgVmV
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIErdcWMGd
唯一不同的是，這塊扁牌上，刻著更加繁複且陌生的文字。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRxompTyWm
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGkMcQtpLN
泰倫斯臉色一變，立刻揮手令全隊停下，並蹲伏於地。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLG00bmFzV
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazTJKbNs93
氣氛霎時凝重，連空氣都像是被拉緊了弦。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq93aqlX8t
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvQ61jnV5f
夸斯特快步上前，壓低聲音：「怎麼回事？天神族的標牌為何出現在這？」9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthHHbkLrr2
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tGxNt6M59
泰倫斯沒有答話，只是從懷中掏出地圖，指向上頭一片標記著「永夜森林」的陰影地帶。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sIAVm8B4i
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh6Q3LDKFJ
夸斯特看了一眼，隨即點點頭表示意會，來到永夜森林，代表這趟任務還有希望完成，情況還不算太壞。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAusy0g3gI
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznD0PW77MB
現在的問題是：要怎麼走出這個濃密的永夜森林？9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACLJhs4gGd
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1x0mpOgXt
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSma17FLN1
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAKlFpGYVR
他深吸一口氣，剛欲轉身向後方報告，異變驟生——9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5JTAiG6oT
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOGoZF5fkE
從四周密林之中，突然竄出數十名手持長矛的神秘人影！9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEdYXddwys
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUtZsNqtXi
動作迅捷如獵豹，轉眼便將隊伍團團圍住。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5BFkZr1xG
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ075aVCJIJq
每一支長矛，寒光凜凜，筆直指向眾人心臟。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuWSw0ooH5
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ3aQu8OlD
即便是身經百戰的夸斯特，也被這突如其來的包圍震得舉起雙手，不敢輕舉妄動。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H3SqO2lbh
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4x2mTnYLo
一行人驚魂未定，只能任憑這群異族人將他們牢牢控制。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezfV8A7WFf
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTurZbPAE0A
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNhwmbcvfb
冷靜下來後，夸斯特細觀這群人。不同於過去所見的天神族形象，他們身披墨綠長袍與斗篷，與森林融為一體，手中的長矛亦仿若由翠綠之木精雕而成，隱隱泛著詭異光澤，顯然非凡鐵所鑄。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFel11TUOsr
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYNa0oScfC
領頭的是一位氣質冷峻的女性天神族，她的目光如同寒星般掃視全隊，聲音平靜卻充滿不容抗拒的威嚴：「沒想到，竟還有人類膽敢闖入永夜森林……罕見。」9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjH4XUMv40
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICplRFVPCf
她微微一笑，笑意卻未達眼底。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WV8S4emmv
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2eERmtwWS
「不過既然來了，便是客人。請隨我來。」9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5sigyKENt
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsnoNFsXYw
話音落下，其餘天神族人整齊收矛，動作乾淨俐落，宛如訓練有素的軍團。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7t1RJoOJ0
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVTjcxQrHW
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVl1w3t8CE
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgFs3cvgiX
女性隊長一個手勢，便有數名天神族士兵上前走在前頭，引導隊伍。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwwDrMdMTu
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMx6gvAsub
夸斯特與公主交換了個眼神，迅速默契達成一致。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMGaMN2IQY
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPnJUUhZly
他對塔庫魯和泰倫斯打了個手勢，示意他們配合行動。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV96VB2LVmx
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCi3AEbiLN
一行人被天神族護衛著，緩緩走入那片幽暗無盡的森林深處——9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY6Tz9zzyz
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPygLB64mPe
塔庫魯一邊行走，一邊警覺地打量四周。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qfpj9PgW7
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox4N6vR9uc
這片森林比任何地方都要壓抑。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7Ho5fPaUa
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhGD1QHjzA
枝葉如巨獸血肉，藤蔓猶如盤踞的蛇群。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXTmW3K4dF
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCnFS2TKFC
天空被完全遮蔽，四周瀰漫著濃稠的黑霧，仿佛連時間也在這裡停滯不前。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLMLXHxy7g
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbZSBvlmuY
耳邊傳來模糊不清的低語，像是森林本身在竊竊私語。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYJUr95oXc
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkkR6AsNni
腳步聲落地時，竟也被這片暗影吞噬，不留一絲回響。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1vDgVYMqw
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntuvlDWbBX
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvCOthRsfG
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T89cezLI4
而突然間，穿越一片林間空地，塔庫魯發現——前方，數十名天神族戰士列隊而立，持矛戒備，宛若雕像。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR25tuEOjd7
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxoNwc6g4R
塔庫魯心頭一緊，握緊鐵斧，卻見女隊長輕揮手臂，戰士們整齊收矛，分立兩側，讓出一條通道。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9d5d9kboO
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwt7Qgn6tv
她回頭，對塔庫魯與泰倫斯微微頷首，臉上隨即恢復冷峻之色，女隊長一個揮手，戰士們無聲無息地讓開一條筆直通道。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm59RpOj7D
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC9NjPjrqe
動作如同機械般整齊，一絲不苟。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLPqGNUqwY
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLkYTU1rdN
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDptVJXwdJr
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡombF5HQzL8
隊伍在引領下穿越一條藤蔓纏繞的小徑，沿途，天神族人從草叢、樹蔭中冒出，數量越來越多。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF2Sghq7sK
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPQrUyooyP
他們隱匿於草叢、盤根樹影之間，冷冷注視著這群異鄉人，眼神中充滿了警惕與探究，就像在觀看一群奇異的異界生物。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f5vZx1aRa
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9oGopGMID
塔庫魯被盯得渾身不自在，暗自吐槽：這感覺，簡直像進了動物園，還得自費當展品！9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyk3Y3CiLg
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzuVLjofEa
終於，在一片被藤蔓和奇花包圍的空地中央，一座自然編織而成的巨大帳幕矗立。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo1iiBHHoX
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG5GxZ5Cyk
冷峻女隊長輕掀帷幕，做了個「請」的手勢。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtUv7wYl0z
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtv4AGk0IX
塔庫魯等人踏入其中，只見帳內光線柔和，空氣中瀰漫著淡淡的花香。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GjdjIxB4j
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVYArsZika
正中央，一位氣質高貴的女子端坐於木製王座之上。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ARDOrOVIg
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFFcOY5Iec
她一身繡滿繁複花紋的長袍，周圍奇花環繞，猶如神祇降臨人間。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF7OUxjsut
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFTnhf6puO
那雙深邃如夜空的眼眸，靜靜注視著來訪的一行人，微微一笑，卻讓人不由自主地想要跪拜。9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm5IvUajvc
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8gRPO77QO
冷峻女隊長恭敬地介紹道：9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdanlF5tmar
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6KjO1bsdV
「這位，便是永夜森林的統治者——西方天神族的女王，永夜女王。」9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnf1gZVV9u
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjiBcUdUES
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ayJR78wD5
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM7SbYjaJ6
塔庫魯趁隊伍稍作休整，先摸一下左手臂，然後利用默念與主機交流：「愛神九三：我以為只有萬縱谷那邊的禁地才有天神族的存在，沒想到在光牆之外也有？這永夜女王看起來不太好惹，有啥底細？ＯＶＥＲ。」9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcpX142FGc
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7Eo88jcBi
光幕閃爍，主機的文字透著一絲揶揄：「哦，終於問到重點了！我簡單的說，天神族一樣是人，也有七情六慾，原本的天神族是統歸大法師來管理，不過數千年以前，當時的大法師要建立起那一座光牆時，幾位實力與地位不輸當時大法師的大長老便趁機帶人留在光牆之外，從此與光牆之內禁地的天神族分道揚鑣。這永夜森林便是其中之一，另外還有幾個光牆外的天神族居住地。而永夜女王便是當代的永夜森林的統治者！」9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvQRCKcRD9
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DyllWSNUZ
塔庫魯暗自吐了一口氣：天神族長的這麼好看，一樣會想爭權奪利的，看來只要是人，差不多都是同樣的一副德性！
