廢青於中世紀魔法世界的生存法則: 37. The Spell
三葉深深呼吸，然後開始吟唱咒文。
「In the origin of the universe, time was meaningless, matter did not exist. Until the gate opened in the void, when mother Tiamat and father Abzu descend from the other side of the gate.」
雖然三葉同我提過魔法既咒文係用龍語寫，但係聽到佢真係逐隻逐隻字讀出黎，我覺得非常奇妙。
「“Let us transform this pathetic emptiness.” They said, and the First Descendant of the Greats was born, time began to flow and space began to grow.」
上一次係大草原吟唱MICRO-NOVA既時侯由於我忙於控制電單車，再加上風聲同被成堆怪物追擊，根本無心情停低去聽佢唱緊乜。
「“Let us build a place to call home.” They said, and the Second Descendant of the Greats was born, matter began to spawn and earth began to form.」
一向處事十分隨意既三葉，此刻語氣非常認真。
「不妙……」咒文唱左四句，老野本身一心食花生既神情開始改變……
佢眼中既充滿住恐懼，而企旁邊既伊曼亦有類似表情。
「“Let us bring the lost child home.” They said.They turn the gate into a white whale and it began to wander around the earth created by the Greats and to lead the lost child from the other side of the gate.」
小弟我公開試英文只係僅僅合格，Listening更加係唔合格，所以我係聽唔明三葉既大部份咒文，即使係我由細已經開始接觸既語言。
「Soon after, the first couple of humans was exiled from their world and they passed through the gate. The Couple was welcomed and blessed, the Greats sent their First Descendant to greet the couple, life with the couple and learn from the couple.」
「長老……莫非係創世詩原文？」伊曼問。
「“Our children are in pain, the ground was hot and the sky was dark.” the First Descendant told the Greats.“Our people should not suffer.” They replied, and the Third Descendant of the Greats was born, winds began to blow and seas began to tide.」
「竟將創世詩當成咒文詠唱……」老野既回答已經確認左伊曼既懷疑。
「Time passed and the grace of the Greats was slowly forgotten as humans’ life began to settle.
The Third Great Descendant reminded mankind of the grace the hard way. Rains fell and seas rose as he raged, people drowned and bodies floated as they prayed.」
「唔好意思，阻一阻你地，請問乜野係創世詩？」我走近至伊曼旁邊低聲問。
「“We should show them mercy.” The First begged, then the Fourth Descendant of the Greats was born. Follow the path of the Fourth, survivors was led to the Highland, where the Couple and the First was met.」
「菲兒妹妹應該同你講過呢個世界所發生過既事？」
「除左菲兒之外伯雷主教同長老都有提過下……但都係比較零碎既資訊，咩龍降呀、公元大龍禍呀……果啲野囉。」
「As the first punishment, the Highland was soon surrounded by the great ocean and no human is allowed to set foot outside of the Highland. As the second punishment, the Fifth Descendant of the Greats was born. Disease began to spread and disruption began to occur.」
「創世詩記載既就係提默亞祖創造世界既經過。」其實睇名我都估到，不過我都係想核實下啫。
「Mankind barely survived their darkest age “Why have you forsaken us?” people asked.The Greats witnessed the misery and sorrow of humans, then the Sixth descendant of the Greats was born. Life began to reglow and order began to restore.」
於魔杖上面既光芒，即使係我依家所企既位置都已經清晰可見，而地上既魔法陣亦都隨三葉吟唱咒文而逐漸展開。
「你又知創世詩所記載既野係真實？」
「因為創作創世詩既係古龍公元。」
「"They should know the grace we gave.” They said, and the Seventh was born. Wisdom was shown and people began to obey. Decades passed, Under the guidance of the Seventh, Divinia ,the first state ever in history, was established.」
「長老，我有不詳既預感……使唔使阻止佢……」
老野搖搖頭，然後回答：「為時已晚，事已至此我們只能作最壞打算……」
個癡線婆究竟做左啲乜野，點解伊曼同老野既對答咁得人驚既？
魔杖既光芒漸漸浮於空中，並且以肉眼可見既速度慢慢變得更大、更光。
「Yet the state rose and felt, humans’ intelligence failed to sustain their own state. The Seventh then decided to found an empire under his own name, the Solomon Empire, to show mankind how a country should be governed.」
「咬實牙關，佢差唔多唱完！」伊曼大喝，雖然佢唔係在場魔法師及聖徒既直屬上司，但係似乎無人對佢落既命令有任何意見。
「傳說中創世詩正正於公元滅世前所作……」長老此刻喃喃自語。
「The king used to be great, human race lasted the Dragon Fall under his ruling. Yet he became arrogant as he aged, and one day, he decided to become the sole ruler of the continent. War between Solomon Empire and Divinia began.」
「展開！」伊曼無理會陷入失神狀態既長老，並且替其向所有人下達指令。
不同形狀既魔法陣垂直展開，包圍住三葉及其頭上既光球。
「The world is tall as the sky, deep as the sea, wide as the earth. It is our greatest gift to mankind; but humans did not treasure our gift as much as we treasure our children. The sky is howling, the sea is perishing, and the earth is crumbling.」
「莫非……創世詩本來就是魔法咒文……」
三葉站於魔法陣正中繼續吟唱，而好似熱氣球咁大既既光球繼續係佢頭上集結，散發出如提默般刺眼既強光及高熱，但站於光球正下方既三葉並無所動搖。
「If the war was the consequence of the worship toward Solomon, he should not ever been born. If the birth of Solomon was our mistake, this redemption shall be the remedy we pay.」
「嗖－－－」
光球於剎那間往正中心收縮，但係我好清楚咁唔代表完結。
相反，眼前一幕意味住詠唱已經完成，就如當時三葉使用MICRO-NOVA一樣。
「In the name of father and mother, let this be the judgment we deliver - ＵＬＴＲＡＮＯＶＡ！」
魔法既名稱已被宣告。
頃刻間，三葉頭頂既光球立即膨脹，發出如提默一般耀目既強光。
我立即瞇起雙眼，但不到一秒爆炸既強響轟穿我雙耳。
「轟－－－－－－」有如穿梭機引擎燃點既巨響。
光球燃燒既聲音越黎越大，光球中噴出無數貌似隕石一樣既火球，火球打落魔法障壁之上形成漣漪，並且發出悶響。
雖然魔法陣可以擋住噴出既火球，巨型光球帶黎既強風依然可以穿過魔法陣，現場一切既事物，包括地上既草、插係附近既旗、魔法師既衣擺、眾人既頭髮、長老銀白色既長鬢都一一被強風拉扯，附近建築，包括大聖堂、圖書館及其他民居既玻璃都被強大既風壓震碎。
而巨大光球本身依然同數百個以上既魔法陣互相爭持。
「彭－－－」火球之中再次傳出巨響，無數既魔法陣應聲而被稍微推開，連同圍繞住大草地中央佈陣既一眾施法者都被推開幾步！
「阿－－－－」魔法師們就好似要推開壓胸巨石一樣，從喉嚨最深處用力咆哮，火球既膨脹方稍稍暫緩。
但係係強大既能量面前，眾人既魔法陣就好似紙張一樣被逐張撕開並發出玻璃破裂既聲音。
「長老！」伊曼向長老大喝，正常情況下根本無人敢對佢呼喝。
但係係目前既環境之下，長老唔可以繼續失神。
若果守唔住的話，唔單止草地上既人，整個白石鎮既人都要陪葬。
而毫無魔力既我只可以睇住其他人盡自己既能力去抵抗。
此時此刻，我似乎對方舟教既教義有新一番既體會。
忽然，另一個巨大既魔法陣出現，我回頭一望，長老已經手執魔杖。
光球既擴散因為長老既加入已頓時停止。
但並唔代表其他人可以鬆懈，因為從長老咬實牙關既神情可以睇得出，佢支持唔到好耐。
「疏……疏散附近所有人！」其中一名士兵大喊，此時此刻階級已經唔重要，任何人落指示都會有其他人呼應。
我，我可以做啲乜？
附近既所有人……菲兒！
我調頭往圖書館方向狂奔，即使雖底踩到好多玻璃碎我都無減到速！
但此時……
「吼－－－－－」巨獸低沉既咆哮，同樣非常刺耳，由第一次爆炸開始，耳嗚既高頻聲音就已經無停過。
我頭頂一黑，然後下一秒已經係另一聲巨響。
「轟－－－－－」
圖書館石落既外牆已經被打穿，只遺下一個巨孔。
到底要幾強大既力度先可以如此乾脆利落地打出個咁大既窿……
「呃……………」我下顎不由自主地跌下，我想呼叫但係又嗌唔出聲。
面對眼前接二連三發生既事，我乜野都做唔到，就連移動自己身體衝入圖書館搵菲兒既能力都失去。
下一秒，一個身影從巨孔中探頭而出。
「劫……！」其中一個士兵呼叫，但係全部有魔力既人都忙於應付三葉既魔法，無暇理會突如其來既巨龍。
巨龍拍動雙翼，然後用力一踏從圖書館起飛。
「有人比佢捉左！」又有人指住劫，然後我留心一睇，劫的確係抱住一個人。
而可以係圖書館入面被劫劫走既人就只有一個。
「係雪菲兒……！」另一名士兵將我腦海中既答案講出。
巨龍迅速飛到巨型光球不遠處，佢到底想點？
劫於光球前張開口，而一個魔法陣於劫口部既前端慢慢形成。
我跪於玻璃碎之上靜視一切既發生。
「玩完喇……哈哈……」
面對目前光景，我既大腦早已放棄思考。
光球開始旋轉，而且速度漸漸增快，劫既魔法陣同光球之間開始連結。
隨住時間流逝，光球開始收縮，就係光球收縮至原來一半既時侯，劫又再次拍翼飛走，但佢並無放低抱於懷中既雪菲兒。
由於光球既光芒已經大大減弱，我終於可以望到一直係光球底下既三葉。
佢望向劫飛走既方向，呆企於原地。
「呢個就係你既答案？」
