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115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B9E7OYoOh
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。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk91cMATWi
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfZY0u7bAA
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！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr1yb7ye6r
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBK134NHcw
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf2XNhYhKa
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsHtCoeRm1
蓋達笑著問：「塔庫魯，你多高？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjMZoUZmjW
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKcEZASvtL
塔庫魯想了想說：「很久以前量過，小隊長說有兩百一十公分！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d5a1QCM9D
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh53DpFyTaq
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！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnntmU0B2d
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu1Z1Qfl7z
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！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKZ71HCN8n
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKB0yHlKYi
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！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSXX7Rramy
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboxIfUNUIj
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！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy6gKvPGmF
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqsg5bECSG
眾人笑成一片，氣氛輕鬆起來。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ7nYAGxai
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kNYgCHxyn
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ4G2CUxwT
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb4TUP9f3S
這時泰倫斯抬起雙手，做了個下壓的手勢，讓大家安靜下來。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XGHKirCkm
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcybGLlpmc
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。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpYThKin7K
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQgo0zsZkQ
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。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUENFLdH1BT
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzwQTk08Mi
塔庫魯說：「我有一把了，在門口武器架那邊！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtiVTh7pmF
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRlFdCKdV8
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！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3AdLPtwtc
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEmjfUqXeI
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。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMEnbPebXl
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TpRSIWRcR
塔庫魯聞言，邁開大步跟上了泰倫斯。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSriJlMcDh
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6cZz2vuvs
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8g9MLDo5y
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ezwQ3h9g0
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj8NfegRlA
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH43b5YEvD
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUJmbPaaC9
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYviPt0cAde
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveeK3mblr0
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqHFuCmwbc
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yhOiRaR3Z
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIOVVkUQkx
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！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySkcCGn0Ik
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV44mtBuCIs
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzPL1CfXmU
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7AsLnZJ4O
他深吸一口氣，忽然爆發，一斧劈出——115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAMih7Qdla
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiYQ6YXEFV
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KEcVjapM7
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQoyYUHAqh
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxSuiJqZp6
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoqXBla534
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ita9zPMoV
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ541T1FpEzR
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！115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxm7MVvXYQ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIgk2CYdpV
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmM6artlyq
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iBggzrQgs
演武場內一片錯愕。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV521HkgwRY
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN8ocjc7hE
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURtJolfGfX
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdXgZ5CeXA
就在塔庫魯準備放下木樁時，一位高階女天神人走了過來。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7GVvy84Gv
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxTA2wAPzX
她抬手示意：「請先別放下。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ngOgNDwX7
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX87i12mmz
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！115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraPRF8KXUf
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxdkii71Zr
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。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJMUxYOUIm
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9p0Gdaf3i
泰倫斯雖然疑惑，仍轉頭叮囑：「塔庫魯，別動，先撐著。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbPJazL2nw
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTcT01nMLy
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？115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu963lLol2G
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLydurStPgm
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。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSiwSTbFUz
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnGsK1kO89
塔庫魯小心挪動，來回幾次微調，直到她滿意為止。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY7Zt5slN0
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ966wUcPDUK
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2dXd5FeFO
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgsS6dbiZi
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQPfJrSnxI
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpzHCq5qfy
幾秒後，女天神人站起來，輕輕道：「可以了，放開吧。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlGlC86Nqh
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJFrycCynp
塔庫魯緩緩鬆手，木樁穩穩立著，仿佛從未斷裂過。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL3qlpn7GZ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58rhp6680u
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。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXKkSbZ7PM
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqKbOlTUP8
話音落下，她便轉身離開。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7tX18L519
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Mebc2eX1
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf9CJQAOhB
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4M0Ui2NyE
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOIvciluNS
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3BwtmAFaY
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！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl8xMjpHj6
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRUoUkKT2W
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUXNBsVnYP
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCI72b6MXM
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJPZOrLR2J
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNMqoJL9mF
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Mc9dHxA1B
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KGjjXtfl6
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzZnySb4ZO
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIcxIvHexo
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。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwdXuQmN2h
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk43nDcGnV
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！」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX134GVMma
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pQiZE1dsY
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？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbgID6EoGR
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55C4pUq5Rr
塔庫魯淡淡回答：「大家都在做，我總不能坐在一邊閒著吧。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgeEjVAYBV
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ75yPWBtJ
派緹托腮笑著補刀：「不是聽說你們最擅長的，是坐下就打呼？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SJtn01Adi
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspQ6LLlAih
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。」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcuVLdYsar
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsMfEE6xv7
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？」115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgnrlJzPsf
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSKa4ue2ST
隊員們笑成一片，氣氛越發融洽。115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl1voWUQxJ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnH0i5Aasa
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。
