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109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlczNwuVyV
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。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCALgA0z52r
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiPpX7YaLg
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！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV16PL53Cm
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsgsHr20Vn
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyKGTYTDg0
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rOHZNk1eu
蓋達笑著問：「塔庫魯，你多高？」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBYobKhMNN
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYH4Aximpq
塔庫魯想了想說：「很久以前量過，小隊長說有兩百一十公分！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDQRN0y729
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELMo2X5BSr
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！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu4dYbHIan
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hBmDlwiJf
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！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHbxiRrjAK
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuDxDhy50q
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！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetIvElHBCQ
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8fwnBsRKa
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！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUmPDhQTcA
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAfePu9IjJ
眾人笑成一片，氣氛輕鬆起來。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX84bJj5vej
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0TTGpwSRk
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSowl2NPbw
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEifHJEGj2
這時泰倫斯抬起雙手，做了個下壓的手勢，讓大家安靜下來。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0AiyXqjEQ
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Tv4WrqR1
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。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p2KbDubxl
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0aNrBIrxF
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。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh1Xta030k
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLK1c5ROhE
塔庫魯說：「我有一把了，在門口武器架那邊！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwGbbLEwE9
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwOIXjES43
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！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFEJp5pdWt
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnj2k9Z8U3
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。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3DAr2HC92
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVnqQd43ll
塔庫魯聞言，邁開大步跟上了泰倫斯。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg0DX63AFq
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8a4nCeamg
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb6et5J8fb
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g7YAIoWtw
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg6gS7Utqw
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k5PxD3FWf
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK92FcvnhRK
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgiNxMK39o
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFasJkWRp0b
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBfpidAqUJ
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPaYrEMHRk
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfg901xJHO
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！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd05ASgNxM
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rZGnWBahW
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt7ogtGj2N
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VCW3sw7th
他深吸一口氣，忽然爆發，一斧劈出——109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWdyqbqUrT
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2FpkOEuVu
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3yRjFraOL
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjoXrImDj1
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ytCcjYPiz
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIARLAngpT
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNpI5eREsT
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKqWQs5RP1
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！109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEcyXhWJwT
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnlv9iWzLg
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTRNIxs8AG
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeia2RypDMd
演武場內一片錯愕。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H3Uw9ylwX
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81dCIWLQWu
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle5EQcFvX9
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhxXYOgivx
就在塔庫魯準備放下木樁時，一位高階女天神人走了過來。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWzTkAVXwu
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXg1tdIdLX
她抬手示意：「請先別放下。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhMzgqJlRc
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9Rbw7YVnC
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！109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG48MTzqIaG
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq6xRNL8Jd
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。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq17HfadrDr
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNSHgN6V5j
泰倫斯雖然疑惑，仍轉頭叮囑：「塔庫魯，別動，先撐著。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86AXVARzS7
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1a4nOEpgL
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？109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7StxpdkO3
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkhh5ZrEgx
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。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO4jrvnMjY
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRVN5M2hSC
塔庫魯小心挪動，來回幾次微調，直到她滿意為止。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH5UoGlLU6
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXw00V0l5v
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEclnDGxn5
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB93nyRdJ6
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLOcFsKHSq
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpLlFYXb8C
幾秒後，女天神人站起來，輕輕道：「可以了，放開吧。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLvQ1oSgk6
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIko4Am8l2
塔庫魯緩緩鬆手，木樁穩穩立著，仿佛從未斷裂過。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0SQQYwxZh
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5ZmrkfKqe
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。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4l9eZgrwZ
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOBI5TszjL
話音落下，她便轉身離開。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoUI7VDOz3
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUhJ3kVtNk
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgurwISG45s
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw1vkBSNgf
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4MPqNSWYO
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj5flx7MEQ
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！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSSoQScAHw
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzjuqrXK8v
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYUkoQgrRk
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHi1RjZUKr
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejOmgjcGn7
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxTYTjVMIA
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTKjg0Lzvz
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyALIVN1uv3
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PmZBw5quQ
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BTxNB8r5N
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。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHhcqqVhsn
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif8qBcuWN3
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！」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7KIseAKMV
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtYRirLBIu
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？」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMedYdO0VQU
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ijMZu6UZ
塔庫魯淡淡回答：「大家都在做，我總不能坐在一邊閒著吧。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFGfUR91zr
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZTXowYaxS
派緹托腮笑著補刀：「不是聽說你們最擅長的，是坐下就打呼？」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKEVIBNsEm
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS797grKzVA
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。」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMgLd8wjoy
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjSQ9NXata
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？」109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1YjFDAAGB
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxysF6GcOT0
隊員們笑成一片，氣氛越發融洽。109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2u6wIObGG
109Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilfBDmjtgw
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。
