天神族人的演武場內，塔庫魯拿著新到手的長柄鐵斧，直接將劈砍練習用的木樁劈斷118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECCNq2voID
泰倫斯說：「別胡思亂想了。根據過去紀錄，山蠻人從來都沒有偷跑過。他們的麻煩在於——跟敵人纏鬥時，總是不懂得什麼時候該要撤退。」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEqeEs1crT
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8tSAykLuF
他話鋒一轉，介紹起隊員來：「塔庫魯，讓我來介紹一下。剛剛那位女兵是露西，旁邊那個紅髮女孩是派緹。你左手邊這個紅髮小子叫艾利歐特，再過去那位大個子，就是蓋達！」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rDPxXNon5
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UZhmOpky3
那個蓋達，渾身肌肉結實勻稱，比起塔庫魯一身鬆散的肥肉，顯得英挺許多。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSnN7slKUb
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YD8SLLmfr
蓋達笑著問：「塔庫魯，你多高？」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteEM2uWDLL
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoxXz14j1O
塔庫魯想了想說：「很久以前量過，小隊長說有兩百一十公分！」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEI6G8a3OI
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVvwvtJnYx
蓋達上下打量他一眼，咧嘴笑道：「我是兩百零二公分。不過看你這身板，我敢打賭你起碼有兩百一十五！」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj27MIgJP8V
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vHUOMg9w7
這時，一旁的派緹噴笑了：「個子高有屁用？你能披著鐵甲跑得比金獅國斥候還快嗎？人家可是追不上他呢！」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdV6z5xzx0
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9AhioH7hg
蓋達大笑著搖頭：「沒辦法，我只是普通士兵，他可是鐵甲兵，平常就是背著一身鐵甲來訓練，和我不是一個檔次的。但我可以跑給妳追，保證讓妳追到手！」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarJTEi1H42
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRyyQMsgAu
派緹揚起眉梢，哂笑道：「得了吧，追你的只會是金獅國的追兵，還輪不到我出馬！」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6W6WuMBBv
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOglevEV3rM
眾人笑成一片，氣氛輕鬆起來。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhhTgHTtPR
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SVSUdj0DY
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVXBkDwV2f
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6asnmTpVg
這時泰倫斯抬起雙手，做了個下壓的手勢，讓大家安靜下來。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapSgZQKgUF
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWuf4Ck8gQ
他笑著說：「才認識不到五天，大家就能打成一片，這是好事。言歸正傳——你們都是各軍團推薦過來的精英，經過這幾天的訓練和演練，彼此都熟悉了。我很放心。而塔庫魯雖是新成員，但各位過去訓練時也一定有和鐵甲兵搭配過，不必擔心配合問題。」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZFVAcTZyC
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQvs1CcJDi
他頓了頓，又道：「離出任務不到半天，好好休息吧。塔庫魯，來，我帶你去拿把像樣的斧頭。」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDDJYDtngv
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXu6YZFYrM
塔庫魯說：「我有一把了，在門口武器架那邊！」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFTH0f3Xht
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMZAp0JzKO
泰倫斯冷哼一聲，露出不屑的笑容：「一般部隊用的破斧我還不認得？跟我來，禁地用的，可不是隨便貨色。這邊發的是長柄鐵斧，耐用好幾倍，別囉嗦！」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLnDi6hIVT
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXZvW3qHAS
艾利歐特在旁邊笑道：「快去吧！這裡的武器都是好東西，絕對不會讓你失望。」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDgII52wwX
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN33eE7yjE
塔庫魯聞言，邁開大步跟上了泰倫斯。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3exJcO31D
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEzvRXuodO
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcXdB3oFMW
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4OLuVNw8H
塔庫魯一見到那把長柄鐵斧，立刻聯想到地球特遣隊門口櫃子裡那把消防斧——工藝精細，斧面卻比消防斧大了兩三倍，沉重扎實。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRInbOFSgE
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAySDx4Z7X
他抓起斧柄，沉甸甸的重量透過手臂傳來，卻仍在可輕鬆操控的範圍內。他暗想，若是普通人，恐怕連舉都舉不太動。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CBM64DBx1
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBRPIY1gZ7
使館內設有一座演武場，泰倫斯帶著塔庫魯到那邊熟悉新武器。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoDiG1yh65
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYezu13xAf
演武場的一角立著幾根粗壯的軟木樁，上面標記著黑線，供戰士練習劈砍，既能看出力量掌控，也不會損傷武器。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFuq8i1NU6
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qSC8dPUIG
泰倫斯指著木樁說：「看到這五條黑線了嗎？從上往下，連劈五斧，記得瞄準黑線。我想看看你的速度和準確度！」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSvAanDW2c
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBEJ2NH6DI
塔庫魯點點頭，手握長柄鐵斧，站定。旁邊有不少戰士好奇圍觀。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnAFEYYrY4
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwEmqhQM7w
他深吸一口氣，忽然爆發，一斧劈出——118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXejMXluCkT
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4tAacAMCQ
巨斧帶著呼嘯之勢砍入第一條黑線附近，雖稍偏上一點，卻深深劈入軟木樁近半深度。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q4AxiPxNA
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaYNQOPxr2
塔庫魯順勢收斧，腰力驟發，第二斧如雷霆擊下，正中第二條黑線。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxA2Algv1X
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBCU7iaeF0
隨著熟練度提升，第三斧更加精準，第四斧劈得又狠又快，每一斧都幾乎嵌入木樁中心。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d440P625d
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCM14GTNSV
第五斧出手時，塔庫魯爆發出全力，「剖！」一聲脆響，粗壯的木樁竟然整根斷裂！118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49RwqvTOV8
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uCobwK5wv
塔庫魯反應神速，伸出巨大的左手，穩穩抓住上半截木樁，讓它仍直挺挺地立在原位。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ky19aUrXQ
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuUeuMGjhh
演武場內一片錯愕。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYZ73IwmWr
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz9qKRrtKk
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSgi5dWpv2
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6mDbvStE7
就在塔庫魯準備放下木樁時，一位高階女天神人走了過來。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wm44HB919
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJSAfoqAQ8
她抬手示意：「請先別放下。」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzabfEO3B0B
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2ZjwI9bYy
塔庫魯心裡一緊，暗忖：該不會是要我賠錢吧？這根木樁，看起來不便宜啊！118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDaTQTFm9b
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0h4GI8q1d
泰倫斯迅速上前，但女天神人只微微點頭道：「讓你的山蠻戰士先穩住木樁不要亂動。」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErWjILnAB9
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBTdmOVSoF
泰倫斯雖然疑惑，仍轉頭叮囑：「塔庫魯，別動，先撐著。」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec707AD9pn
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBBlA1gbfx
塔庫魯只好無奈地將木樁穩住，心想：這該不會是要羞辱我吧？118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsShDyUPBL
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnt9FlAVafm
女天神人走到木樁前，仔細打量了片刻，然後輕輕揮手：「往右一點。」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYP3fa42gg
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gTbzraHpP
塔庫魯小心挪動，來回幾次微調，直到她滿意為止。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RssrRdxse
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FYJRmMhI0
接著，她蹲下來在木樁的斷裂處貼上左手掌，一道細微的光芒從掌心透出，沿著斷裂處緩緩蔓延。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnqMJCBn5k
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWzP8Ocvpi
塔庫魯低頭偷瞄，一不小心瞥見女天神人衣領內的春光，臉一紅，忙不迭轉開頭，假裝在專注木樁。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvA83Pd0GC
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8bfcH9SAd
幾秒後，女天神人站起來，輕輕道：「可以了，放開吧。」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqqswfmnPK
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NRijzLdmM
塔庫魯緩緩鬆手，木樁穩穩立著，仿佛從未斷裂過。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00MMZ3EgGF
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU8lPPXbaU
女天神人微笑道：「你看起來不像一般蠻族，天龍國的教養看來不錯。」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjXAfd53LA
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhYwSa7FXC
話音落下，她便轉身離開。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIBSAhh6y3
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KbFHen2QU
塔庫魯蹲下仔細端詳接縫處，驚訝發現竟絲毫看不出修復的痕跡。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CHFuo0l0A
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQCasqN176
他心中暗忖：這個地方是有魔法的世界，遠比自己想像中更深奧……必須重新認識這片大地了。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiEKjJHLjZ
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxM2t6UmLi
泰倫斯拍拍他的肩膀，笑著說：「你不只是力氣大，還懂得用腰力借力打力！十七秒內連劈五斧，破了天龍國紀錄！厲害，真的厲害！走吧，回去休息！」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL0KRkBgKk
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98OA92XRLD
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC0JuphmNX
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhmTr2ofnw
回到休息室，塔庫魯晃了晃身上新換的盔甲，讓自己坐得更舒服些。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RZxpLyuIm
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtDn3WGnaT
環顧一圈，隊員們都正細心擦拭刀劍，桌上鋪著一張張白色紗布。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHpEqz8Yap
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa7IXODJAY
他也跟著拿起紗布，學著大家的樣子，仔細保養起剛到手的鐵斧。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1N4PTyo3H
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qJqlNDgxq
在地球時，他保養的是槍械，手法截然不同。但在這個世界，他選擇重新學習——像一個真正的山蠻族戰士。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8kp8792GV
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhInNwYCUFP
這時，蓋達打趣道：「嘿，山蠻人也懂得保養武器？今天真是長見識了！」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe9cNNikS5
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRdYc5GH5P
露西斜眼看著塔庫魯，金色辮子一甩，嘲諷道：「不是說你們山蠻族的男人，只靠蠻力就能把敵人劈成兩半？還需要什麼保養？」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxX3mH3IyF
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodFzn839yR
塔庫魯淡淡回答：「大家都在做，我總不能坐在一邊閒著吧。」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOPu5EvKLS
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLMpY9vwPt
派緹托腮笑著補刀：「不是聽說你們最擅長的，是坐下就打呼？」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP8mtWrvcx
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ282vjMh3px
塔庫魯聳聳肩，反擊：「前幾天昏睡得夠久了，現在反而不太想睡了。」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjujlnAQg8
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lqhKzN0Qu
派緹歪頭，笑意盈盈：「該不會……你是睡過頭，才會落到部隊後方，跟不上大隊的吧？」118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EXy8br2M0
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLC9OFnqnA
隊員們笑成一片，氣氛越發融洽。118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu9NUA7SbO
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy05BuGfUB
而塔庫魯，心中卻默默感受到，這群最初帶著敵意和懷疑看他的戰友們，似乎，也開始真正接納他了。
