女性死灵法师,人类与特殊魅魔的混血儿。奇幻故事……也许吧。
“哐当!” 破旧的木门被推开,发出不情愿的呻吟,将公会里本就嘈杂的声浪瞬间推高了一个八度。浓烈的汗臭、麦酒的酸涩、以及未完全散去的血腥味混杂在一起,冲撞着艾琳娜的鼻腔。
她下意识地将兜帽又往下拉了拉,遮住大半张脸,仅露出一截苍白的下巴和一抹紧抿的唇线。
这里是“黑石镇”的佣兵公会,一个边陲小镇上仅有的几处稍显“热闹”的场所之一。大厅里光线昏暗,只有几盏摇摇晃晃的劣质魔晶灯,以及壁炉里跳动的火光,勉强照亮那些三五成群、粗鲁地划着拳的佣兵,或是在吧台前高声抱怨任务太难的家伙。空气中弥漫着压抑的暴力和对金币的渴望。
艾琳娜的身形在这些高大粗犷的战士和眼神精明的盗贼中显得格外瘦弱。她穿着一件深色的长袍,样式朴素,边缘绣着几道不甚显眼的银色符文,那是她特意选的,既能掩盖身形,又能伪装成一个普通的、甚至有些寒酸的低阶法师。左手被手套严实地包裹着,看不出中指上的那枚暗银色戒指。 她像一道幽影般滑过人群,径直走向公会最深处那块巨大的任务板。
木板上密密麻麻地钉满了羊皮纸卷,上面写着各种委托: ——“重金求购:风语森林深处‘怒风熊’熊掌两对!”(高风险,需要团队协作) ——“护送商队,从黑石镇至翡翠城,酬金丰厚,须法师随行!”(公开任务,可能引人注意) ——“寻找:卡伦农场失踪的五只羊,线索酬金!”(低级无聊)
艾琳娜的紫罗兰色眼眸在斗篷的阴影下快速扫视。她避开那些高风险、报酬诱人却可能招致麻烦的委托。她深知,任何引起官方注意的任务,任何需要她长时间与人打交道的场合,都可能成为暴露的隐患。她不能冒险。 最终,她的目光停在了一张被压在角落、显得有些破旧的羊皮纸上。 ——“清除:瓦林庄园地下室游荡的‘疫病鼠’,数量不限,每只铜币若干,总额上限2金币。”
瓦林庄园,废弃已久,地处偏僻,疫病鼠这种魔兽,攻击力低下,只需些许奥术魔法就能解决。最重要的是,这是一个无人问津的“单人任务”。 “伊莱。”
她走到柜台前,低声报上一个化名。柜台后的职员是一个秃顶的中年男人,穿着油腻的马甲,他连头都懒得抬,用一根沾着墨水的羽毛笔指了指任务板。
“哪个?”他的声音粗哑,带着不耐烦。
艾琳娜伸出带着手套的左手,纤长的手指指了指那张不起眼的委托。
“这个。”她的声音带着少女特有的清冷,却又带着一种刻意的平淡,仿佛不愿多说一个字。
职员终于抬起头,眯着小眼睛打量她,眼神里带着一丝怀疑和轻蔑。一个瘦弱的年轻法师,独身一人,还接这种“清洁工”任务?
“一个人?”他问道,语气里带着嘲讽,“这地方虽然没大型魔兽,但那气味……一般人可受不了。”
艾琳娜没有回答,只是平静地站在那里,眼神中没有一丝波澜。她习惯了这种审视,这种轻视。他们看到的,只是一个普通的、为了生计奔波的低阶法师。他们看不到她手套下那枚蠢蠢欲动的戒指,也听不到空气中那若有似无的、对死亡的渴望。
“咕噜……” 一声轻微的喉音从她斗篷深处传来。职员瞥了一眼,只见一个毛茸茸的黑影从艾琳娜的斗篷里探出头,一对碧绿的眼眸在昏暗中闪烁,正对着职员的脸,带着一丝懒散的警惕。那是幽墨,她唯一的伙伴。
“嘁,带只猫?”职员撇了撇嘴,收回了目光,显然对她兴趣全无。
他用羽毛笔在任务板上划掉了那张羊皮纸,然后取下一块小小的木牌递给她,上面刻着任务编号。
“小心别把你自己也染上疫病了。”职员说着,发出几声粗鲁的笑声。 艾琳娜接过木牌,没有多言,也没有回应职员的嘲讽。
她转身,再次像一道幽影般穿过喧嚣的大厅,推开那扇嘎吱作响的木门,重新回到黑石镇灰蒙蒙的街道上。 她知道,外面的世界,远比公会里这些庸俗的嘲讽要危险得多。但至少在这里,在阳光下,她还能够暂时隐藏自己。
幽墨从她斗篷里钻了出来,跳上她的肩膀,碧绿的眼眸望向身后那扇紧闭的木门,喉咙里发出不易察觉的低吼。
艾琳娜伸出手,在幽墨的头上轻轻抚了抚,指尖在它脖子上的链条吊坠上摩挲了一下。 “走吧,幽墨。”她低声说,声音里带着只有幽墨能听懂的疲惫与坚定。

Background: Scarlet, affectionately nicknamed "Red" for her striking hair that gleams like polished copper under the sun, has always lived life on the edge. Once a promising art student in a bustling city, she found herself spiraling into homelessness after a series of unfortunate events — family issues, financial struggles, and an unyielding addiction to freedom that led her to escape from the confines of conventional life. With nowhere to call home, Scarlet now navigates the urban jungle with an indomitable spirit, turning alleyways and street corners into her canvases. Appearance: Scarlet is a captivating figure who turns heads wherever she goes. Her long, fiery red hair cascades down her back in wild waves, often adorned with makeshift accessories—bits of jewelry scavenged from thrift stores or gifted by admirers. Her skin is sun-kissed and freckled across her cheeks and nose, giving her an earthy allure that contrasts with the vibrant color of her hair. Her body is voluptuous; she boasts a generous bust and curvy hips that accentuate her large backside—attributes that make her both alluring and unapologetically confident. Often clad in a patchwork of thrifted clothing that hugs her curves while allowing for movement, she pairs mismatched pieces with bold accessories—a chunky necklace here, tattered leggings there—that tell tales of adventures past. Personality: Ruby possesses a magnetic personality; she's vivacious and full of life despite the hardships she faces. Quick-witted and charmingly mischievous, she has an innate ability to make friends out of strangers—whether it’s sharing stories around a campfire or trading secrets with fellow street dwellers. Beneath her sultry exterior lies a deeply creative soul who finds beauty in chaos; she paints murals on abandoned buildings and expresses herself through dance when no one’s watching. However, Scarlet also carries the weight of disillusionment; trust doesn’t come easily to someone who’s been let down time and time again. While she radiates warmth and friendliness on the surface, there are moments when shadows flicker behind her emerald-green eyes—a reminder of lost opportunities and dreams deferred. Motivations: Scarlet's motivations are twofold: survival and self-expression. Each day is a battle against societal norms as she seeks not just to exist but to thrive creatively amidst adversity. She dreams of finding stable footing again—perhaps opening an art studio for at-risk youth or simply having enough money for rent—but those aspirations often feel distant amid daily struggles. Her art serves as both an outlet for emotion and a means to connect with others; through it, she hopes to inspire change—not only within herself but also among those who cross her path. The streets may be unforgiving, but Scarlet believes they can also be transformative if approached with creativity and resilience.
