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41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8mhvG3Yqx
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。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf7OyfEBLF
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeakL3uXFJ
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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbez2OIKPKA
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZZtDH0npy
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CDWsMElyn
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GAKGaMd1z
蓋達笑著問：「塔庫魯，你多高？」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4QY6jexAD
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRxOBD9I2T
塔庫魯想了想說：「很久以前量過，小隊長說有兩百一十公分！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ53NfpbUBC
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vTahq0fv7
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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ViBPrZqrg
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zd6BmCjfA
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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkrTEgfG4Y
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTiCvHwg2g
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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM2XSSmb3n
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT3SbdUU9N
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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSOIE42d3w
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKX9xg8ewJ
眾人笑成一片，氣氛輕鬆起來。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPPzeNgt4M
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbZNxbwFbn
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jh6sWaTo8
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmg7BRdSsN
這時泰倫斯抬起雙手，做了個下壓的手勢，讓大家安靜下來。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CYmIYpPyK
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIKOeztomM
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。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnQTT3bUmd
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23bfcgpO5f
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。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ1PPpB1UT
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLBnmsCl0Y
塔庫魯說：「我有一把了，在門口武器架那邊！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F7T9nMRI7
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNzfRro0Uq
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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP0xOeRVcp
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafbcNgcwBJ
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。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1G75g7SNB
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyshxcoeAoM
塔庫魯聞言，邁開大步跟上了泰倫斯。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PLX3qzZJU
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpoxqzb69q
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ072U52yd
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03rbWGoj5T
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpqymlPAQq
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXiXy1ZAVO
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypzbwDnoBA
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fqMDMlJWk
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGUKgdCCZ0
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3twIYCpfaE
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKVIPIYVgb
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApmr0Ftyf5
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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nh51DSfrw
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaQx1cxXYZ
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7SZnFV6zw
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDdixmSF1H
他深吸一口氣，忽然爆發，一斧劈出——41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPPu3UNlVz
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJb3OWkpY2
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmEf4U5l9t
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwkJNwlZqq
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAeMi924rS
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ZPpGev57
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQEaduZDPd
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G5tF75cR7
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！41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyxwTLuPEt
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyZWJQQEtd
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEGZCVjIbZ
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH1IpA8q1V
演武場內一片錯愕。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmanRT9hKzt
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoprLTKYHN
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuTn0tnu86
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UTD18ZyRM
就在塔庫魯準備放下木樁時，一位高階女天神人走了過來。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetRiZ0RuHQ
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZh3AIZ8HF
她抬手示意：「請先別放下。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLnm246PIq
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil1SG1zfEv
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！41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd2kMCB4Xe
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGW7qzRAxa
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。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMngSxFKeQ
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxfkiPcuJ7
泰倫斯雖然疑惑，仍轉頭叮囑：「塔庫魯，別動，先撐著。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclSjWZCXAF
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E1J5YVNu9
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？41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29j6SoNIMG
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V7uRYSMFd
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。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXviohXqvhX
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7wdYU1dUK
塔庫魯小心挪動，來回幾次微調，直到她滿意為止。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMU9zu1JOn
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAJsVr9Zvo
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoTlajHLLb
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoSpvZ7W1Q
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUcNSitpew
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt34iOhSIbC
幾秒後，女天神人站起來，輕輕道：「可以了，放開吧。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VM9EoM5Jn
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkTjFwYrx9
塔庫魯緩緩鬆手，木樁穩穩立著，仿佛從未斷裂過。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf44AeATVP
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCiHegRuVj
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。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnna3sD5qOw
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgDWym9BmS
話音落下，她便轉身離開。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6j0HskaYd
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYEyJWmeqG
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4697LSp9N2
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaERwbDfmD
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FW3v9IezQ
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdMvo5QwXu
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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTCkh3haYg
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXxyS56X0I
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XV83ckIfI
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyjGIlsVAL
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0URTE6w6o
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQVH63yPc7
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ameTOuVb2
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fhko0HeK3
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD0saQxqv7
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94qzH0hElw
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。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MOKWGee2b
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOFljDvDMM
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！」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXhZGz0WnT
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp5aXN8k4z
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？」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXIC38mllU
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdER4kvzNDx
塔庫魯淡淡回答：「大家都在做，我總不能坐在一邊閒著吧。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YtAE5ghVd
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejbTA4FO4t
派緹托腮笑著補刀：「不是聽說你們最擅長的，是坐下就打呼？」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxuCVdSP6z
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQItHglXSt
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。」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDPqAx3K1B
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsaDNRqP7W
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？」41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwIQ6UoYsb
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNw8tk5cdr
隊員們笑成一片，氣氛越發融洽。41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEX1gkpWDg
41Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskg2VYCzh7
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。
