黑暗默禱的最後一小時終於過去,鐘聲響徹整座銀霜城,夜空開始冒出一朵朵豔麗煙火,人們爭先恐後地從房屋裡跑出來找親友報平安,然後拿著蠟燭或提燈開始前往各個城市集會點參加行會或團體所舉辦的慶祝活動。8964 copyright protection196PENANA2TcqWfpeK7 維尼

「憋死我啦!」矮人夫婦也從臥室走出來,拜米爾抓抓他那蓬蓬的大鬍子,一臉苦悶,對樓下那桶預備已久用來慶賀冬天開始的蜜酒蠢蠢欲動,芬妮則冷冷瞪著他當作警告。8964 copyright protection196PENANASnbzofsBvO 維尼

前幾個小時雖然聽見不少動靜,但是巫師有言在先,警告他們不得出手,雖然幾次都險些忍不住衝出去,幸好矮人夫婦最後還是克制住衝動,多虧拜米爾告訴妻子他們聽到的打鬥聲可能是妖精故意製造出來,引誘他們上鉤的幻象。8964 copyright protection196PENANAVYgHcig34b 維尼

混在吵鬧聲中,那兩聲敲門顯得格格不入,漢克站起來去開門,本以為是芬妮拿飲料食物上來,門一開卻是巫師帶著風雪氣味的冷髮與沉靜的臉孔。8964 copyright protection196PENANABvWUYu1LfS 維尼

對這個能在千軍萬馬中自在散步的巫師問出這個問題相當好笑,雖然清楚海奇亞斯是巫師,但漢克可是靠常識維生的軍人啊!不小心還是會大驚小怪。8964 copyright protection196PENANAZMYpPwXCzi 維尼

解除被冬精靈附身綁架危機那時場面過於混亂,海奇亞斯馬上就離開了,漢克惴惴不安地等待,他需要海奇亞斯當面對他保證黑娜沒事,漢克才能放心。8964 copyright protection196PENANApv2alzYOUV 維尼

「沒有發燒,還好,讓她睡到自然醒,請老闆娘弄些容易消化的食物給她,小心不要著涼即可。被妖精意識浸染過的靈魂,還未學會巫師的自保方式,這幾天黑娜會比較虛弱。」8964 copyright protection196PENANAs9BwUfrcOC 維尼

海奇亞斯具體地將如何照顧黑娜的方針告訴漢克,顯然他身為白銀賢者的任務還有得忙,一時半刻走不開。8964 copyright protection196PENANAI3iI0FF8dj 維尼

8964 copyright protection196PENANA3CoJsXuPWX 維尼
漢克總認為還是普通生活最適合像黑娜這種個性的女孩,因為黑娜的事和海奇亞斯再度重逢,知道更多關於巫師面貌與這支神祕族群的生活方式,他更是這麼覺得。8964 copyright protection196PENANAIzm1qkjnVT 維尼

巫師的學徒必然只有成為巫師這條路可走,而那些沒有成功當上巫師的學徒下場如何,往往無人知曉,不是死亡就是下落不明,總之沒有回頭路。8964 copyright protection196PENANAdrKbG6dZK2 維尼

「那是解不開的,如果解除得了,叫它詛咒亦無妨。不管人類覺得有益或有害,起碼對影響黑娜的冬精靈來說,祂希望她變得幸福。」白銀賢者淡淡地說。8964 copyright protection196PENANAUv4LMVsWkD 維尼

怎會那麼剛好,海奇亞斯要黑娜死背那篇《銀鹿禱文》就派上用場?而那個黑色影人怪物貌似針對海奇亞斯說了很奇怪的話,雖然是只有巫師才聽得懂的非人語言,但是看起來他和冬精靈之間有點淵源。8964 copyright protection196PENANAz58T5EXbdm 維尼

喧鬧聲變得朦朧,不像漢克剛剛聽見的震耳欲聾,顯然是海奇亞斯進來以後又施了隔音魔法之類,因此他不大不小的音量此時就非常清晰。8964 copyright protection196PENANAqd8hHaREhd 維尼

「《銀鹿禱文》是法鐸大陸魔法師留下的早期文書之一,相傳是蘇塔王國建國前居於此地的第一位巫師,在冬夜的森林裡遇見化為白鹿的夜妖精所寫的文章。」海奇亞斯頓了頓,說出下文。8964 copyright protection196PENANAqkm9lLzrs8 維尼
