這個世界、特拉希爾大陸，正中央有一棵被人稱為『世界樹』，巨大的樹木，高到突破天際，世界各個地方，都能望眼看見世界樹的影子。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlHYFx54R8
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyED35c2Oy
而這棵神秘的世界樹，有著讓人無法想像的『地脈能源』，人們將其視為『神的恩惠』。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP6C1zmir5
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBywH0lacU
地脈能源，使得土地一年四季肥沃，礦產資源豐富，人類生活水準瞬間進步，甚至歷史存續了千年以上，開創了『特拉希爾歷史』。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtiVDFdwi4
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK4TnZNxCE
人類認為這股能源是永遠的，永遠的支持人類，因此許多開發國家不斷的濫用地脈能源。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t5BQSnHQH
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW31cX5z9B8
千年過後，世界開始變了，從何時開始……636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTptRijO5HO
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3WiT1ViPl
大地開始枯萎，動物漸漸變成了野獸、怪物，地震、海嘯出現頻率越來越大，世界漸漸的異變。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoFdOgwrYa
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUFFVxxYak
但是人類沒有去在意，甚至在意的人也無法阻止這種現象，擁有信仰的人，認為『神』生氣了，是人類必須承受的災難降臨。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMrSqHvnwW
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCa4JezgYO
甚至大地的地形都有強烈的變動，人們一天一天的不安、慌張。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgwQv1ZccY
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlof4f1Epg
世界漸漸崩潰的開始，各個國家為了探求世界異變的『真相』，開始招募廣大的冒險者，開始對『世界樹』進行攻略。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao6p6aAWfc
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YDeUz9okK
只要從世界樹帶回『停止異變』的方式以及解決之法，各國將會提供一輩子都用不完的吃喝玩樂獎賞，這個誘惑，吸引大量的冒險者。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACaN7dOvPk
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JFkvKM2yt
開始對世界樹進行攻略。
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQN2SKOOyq
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4MumMwkh6
特拉希爾大陸，西南方，有一座小村鎮，名為『蘭月村』。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iDAAgWzUu
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYPKN1U0Ef
村中有個小房子，旁邊有一位少年正在努力的砍木頭，手持著斧頭，精準的劈砍著，把大大的木頭切成兩半，再從兩半進行對切，並重複這樣的動作好幾次。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvPzrCZ6TT
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ObOlcQNJl
少年砍完柴之後，將斧頭放在旁邊休息，此時從屋子的門口，走出一位年長的女性婦人。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRYRjPXAPY
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pFDJP1kgX
「辛苦你了，小爾。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSREWgmYy9c
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaE8i7SYC4
少年看到這位年長的婦人，開心的回應。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIBV1HMvsv
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U7zRBVeeC
「這不算什麼，媽媽。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaHiwBJgNI
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFRy0GaLXk
少年名為『史特爾 ‧ 阿魯斗』，是村中年輕具有實力的少年，也是蘭月村的下一任守護者候選者。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tW2E6xBWz
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIRVSt1iPe
婦人名為『謝麗莎 ‧ 阿魯斗』，是史特爾的母親，與父親三人共同生活在蘭月村。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLLcuggyTp
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxd7jaf5Kc
「媽媽，爸爸還沒回來嗎？」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCW8y5Rgzp
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijRydiKPHA
「還沒……我也有點擔心……天色已經漸漸變晚了……」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4pa7slt3o
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXp8pZeYvf
麗莎 抬頭看著天空，時間漸漸要進入夜晚，史特爾也擔心父親的安危。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbslmIjx6bV
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAqy2l5O71
「媽媽，我先去村中詢問大家情況。」史特爾插腰，單手指向村中的廣場。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPClYCCL1D
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldG6NFx6l8
「小爾，小心點喔。」母親表示同意。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM7ccS0NEo
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuvlKQefyE
史特爾快步的走向村中，而麗莎則是回到房屋內，點起了火光，開始準備晚餐。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxTV7vq3NN
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSzdoR4TtG
時間進入黃昏，準備要步入夜晚。史特爾來到村中廣場，村中的長老也在內，有許多人圍著廣場，談論的氣氛十分沉重。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyHjBfigms
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxT06DBEYc
「村長！」 史特爾上前向村長打聲招呼。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1MVJGh41Z
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN9Hry0Tqd
「喔喔，史特爾……你來了啊……」村長看到史特爾的出現，驚訝了一下。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzKRUD0gdc
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U9JiDA7wv
「村長，發生什麼……事……情了嗎？」史特爾看到有一位全身受傷的中年男子，一時驚訝的說不出話。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgulg8m7s2
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoxakERZvQ
「嗚……」村長突然啞口無言，而聚集周圍的大人們也紛紛緊張。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0QKJeF5qd
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CnEGkD9QP
其中有一位壯年男子，背著一把劍刃走到史特爾面前……636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUadohSnCM
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTAOW8cUEm
兩人的身高至少差了一顆頭。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDrCwTCjLX
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ8JvzRzBB
「史特爾，如你所看到的，有『魔物』出現了，本來在村外採集食材小隊伍遭受魔物的襲擊，而你的爸爸擔任護衛，尚未回來。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdKfawoiBZ
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiozfce59mo
這名強壯的男性，直接說出事實，這事實讓史特爾背部留下冷汗。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Oe8dCzIbe
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw1PjpXVV3
「玄武！」村長大喊強壯男性的名字，對於坦白的言語，村長擔心史特爾無法承受這壓力。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DHErClgqe
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNBxLRs21M
背著大劍的強壯男性，全名為『宮玄武 ‧ 得因斯』，暱稱為『玄武』，是蘭月村的戰士。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NvgQB4SuN
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdfMlVPMOL
「村長，別喊那麼大聲，這是事實，而且史特爾是『史凱』的兒子，有必要讓他知道情況，隱瞞沒有任何好處。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI4jYdBmoI
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHV83L6NBni
史特爾的父親、『史凱 ‧ 阿魯斗』是村中的頂尖戰士。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGNBDuwxVy
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJdcVWDRkz
玄武的話，讓村長一時無言以對，本來打算讓玄武帶人去搶救採集小隊，先不讓史特爾跟他母親麗莎知道情況。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAFQOgOaua
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDfDzUjSCS
如今史特爾來到現場，一定是來問父親的去向。村長緩緩嘆氣一聲，自己已經老了沒辦法判斷事情的重要性了嗎？636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKLbMeBISx
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0bzUd6wpy
「唉……也是，史特爾啊……正如玄武所說，最近幾年，『魔物』數量不斷增加，村中需要更多戰士來保護。但是對付怪物們，需要『印石』的力量，因此我集合了四人一小隊的規模，讓他們前往東邊的『山岳領域』邊緣地帶採集『能源體』，小隊歸途中，遭受襲擊，『史凱』決定斷後，讓這位採集員帶能源石回來，並且請求支援。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyF3a1Aag5
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl0tp1B7Rb
村長將事情經過解說給史特爾聽。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2VGsYpW4S
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6S2IBPtLp
「那麼……玄武大哥是要去救我爸爸嗎？」史特爾看著玄武。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSREJy1I0CT
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0DkNJeHaf
「當然，『史凱』是我好朋友，怎麼能見死不救，所以村中組成四人小隊戰士，馬上就要出發了。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Y1MRyGAO
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkwzBRsvIW
玄武說完，史特爾才發現廣場聚集的人都有武器。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFPIDG5UB2
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrl4nBZPxv
「我也要去！」史特爾認真眼神，看著玄武說著。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfKm3tEEW1
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2FiO83cuF
當然村長聽到直接否決。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YwPQdEdcU
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKUFHG3SuQ
「不行！太過於危險，史凱的事情就交給玄武等人去就好。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmcYtmR4Ik
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7yxX7Mxby
「可是……我想救爸爸！」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO6TVVWCTW
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6sJz0t0CT
史特爾基於村中的下一任戰士候選，對於自己的實力也有一定的信心，雖然很不安，但現在爸爸陷入危險中，再怎麼樣，史特爾都想去幫助。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdsh11MnuI
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXQ6zPMDcD
「不行……你沒有辦法使用『印石』的力量，對上魔物太危險了！」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn05ldaHid
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt6TH2aBIl
村長堅持的說不行。史特爾一時氣憤，自己的父親，都幫不上忙，雙手的拳頭慢慢的握緊。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFZlQxuZyi
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJaZ3o4zFa
「村長，我認為這是個機會，而且有我等人在身邊幫助，就讓史特爾跟著我吧。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbFIoDWY3x
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1fBm3eEPP
聽到玄武的話，村長、史特爾都感到驚訝。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3cCltMybW
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3Wtsb9Vw2
「玄武！你知道你再說什麼嗎？」村長不認同，認為史特爾年紀還小，不適合作戰。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlialJqVYQD
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiYzHMAKqE
但玄武認為，總有一天，史特爾必須面對未來的困境，因此累積經驗非常重要。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2g4esLcBj
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVUuY9auFP
「村長，史特爾是下一任的戰士，雖然年紀還小，但是也該面對必須面對的事情，當然，早晚也要學習使用『印石』。戰士最重要的是『經驗』，越早接觸戰鬥，對自己本身也有好處。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqjGJPUzzI
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpADY4p6wKi
「但史特爾的年紀只有十五歲，太年輕了！」這是村長最擔憂的事情。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlW3Hd4Psm
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS9vZf4tE5
一個年輕有為的少年，實在不想讓年輕的史特爾去接觸危險的戰鬥，儘管玄武說的有道理，但村長站在全村考量上，是不允許的。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlytPPxCCoc
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAos9awBS8
「請不要過度保護，史凱遇到危險，身為兒子已經有一定的實力卻無法幫助父親，這種心情一定很難受。再說了，也差不多該讓史特爾去理解自己所在的世界了吧？」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaGFlh4sSN
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppYxUTSyDK
站在史特爾的角度，會成為村中最有實力的根本原因，便是常常受傷的父親，史特爾想跟父親並肩作戰，想為村中及家庭付出，因此拼命的練習劍術。
而玄武則認為，也該是時候讓史特爾離開村子，去外面闖一闖了。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqKT3wmwtb
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo3PvgKXSe
對於玄武的提議，身邊三位戰士也認同玄武說的話。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBH6n3nSlk
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18gOpusJud
「這趟任務我會盡上全力，就讓史特爾跟在我身邊吧。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCF9DeCZll
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ3qDJ4TwA
玄武認真的言語，村長則是在沉默了好幾秒後，終於妥協。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA69BLH0E7
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrDeW1mACN
「呼……好吧，出發前先讓史特爾去『鍛製屋』穿上護甲，並且配與一把『印屬劍』吧，路上的戰鬥，就交給玄武你指導，但我希望以盡快找到史凱為優先。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4ZHerUL0s
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47K9w0JmyN
「啊啊，當然。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeIhfuitZ3
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbZbzBdl7F
交談完畢後，村長離開現場，留下即將出發的小隊。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKK024EZ5V
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wif31wOtK
玄武馬上帶著史特爾前往村內的『鍛製屋』，小隊的其他人則是去準備急救的用品。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VfDi67OCq
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWrcrRZzSF
「打擾了，鍛製爺爺。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSAsVSFxqY
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGahLow7UU4
玄武到了鍛製屋，直接打開房門打聲招呼。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dpDlN04uR
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIaPwOZioo
小屋內氣溫非常的高熱，屋內有一位敲打鐵塊的老爺爺停止了動作，並將打到一半的鐵夾起緩緩放進水裡。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LkEEv9oLF
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkm2os8ecn
他的外表相當高齡，但是身材無比的壯，每次看到史特爾都感到佩服，鍛製屋雖然不是戰士，但卻屬於後勤最重要的職業。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylR4I222EO
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopbrAvhRAU
「喔？是玄武跟史特爾啊……有什麼事嗎？」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwB0tKSZAo
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0xG0YUJGO
「事實上……」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsbjrDbHgP
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzwSOqztzV
玄武簡單講解後，鍛製屋爺爺沒有說話，直接拿出符合史特爾身材的輕薄防具，皮革製的鎧甲，戰鬥用的鞋子，配上一把片手劍。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp5SChV4QI
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamswXQUfqa
片手劍上面鑲著一顆天藍色的寶石，讓史特爾看了入迷。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmNUXY9cVU
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTJwIqpTp5
「劍上的寶石，就是『印石』，崁在武器上的印石，用來提升攻擊力，我們稱為『印屬劍』。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMw1vCCAWC
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBh4BRkduW
史特爾認真的聽著，但時間緊揍的關係，玄武表示，路上再說。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwE0CubCg5
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVT5baljeM
於是很快的向鍛製屋的爺爺告別。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ABavdkcRa
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ieJEwA6bW
馬上踏上救援的任務，史特爾跟緊在玄武身邊，此時天色昏暗下來。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVqEV7M0QL
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91SVAAoyfA
「天色變暗了，拿出手電筒 吧。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l6UXqM1ud
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZZelFlZiD
「恩。」636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1gf49ODuc
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszBNBaqny1
回應玄武後，有一位夥伴，拿出長筒狀的東西，並且默默集中精神，此時長筒狀的物體，發散出光芒。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDKowuPyKq
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooMMVd5VvQ
一道光明的亮光從長筒狀發散出，而長筒狀的底部，有一顆『印石』不斷閃爍著能量。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsGcyrH85s
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRtUhZawal
史特爾並沒有很驚訝，『印石』是生活中不可或缺的東西。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa1GbDN9QC
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBPHdKmsHe
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG422sGh7MJ
世界樹地脈能源，會傳遞世界的各個角落，有些物體可以吸收這股能量，這些被稱為『能源體』。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UoP9GjHiU
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpIuAEq4zh
能源體，可以是石頭，樹木，水，燃燒物體，等等各式各樣，只要能夠吸收世界樹的能源，便是『能源體』。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5V6NqRccf
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YI5jAzOBr
根據能源體的不同，有的發散熱量、有的冰冷，有的甚至帶電等等，而將能源體做成人們可以使用的東西，便是『印石』。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0d9tzzKSg
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6prz8CCkxa
而使用『印石』基本條件，則是人類的『精神力』，越強大的精神力，便能發揮印石的力量。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpUj1Lhicc
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlsOkZDUkO
剛剛的手電筒，就是帶有『發光的能源體』做成的印石，使用者只要集中精神，想著：發光吧，照亮等等用詞，印石就會發動相對應的力量。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfxqBLFPHZ
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpaP2CqyOt
無論是火焰、水、風、土都有辦法發出來，是非常奇特且與生活息息相關的特殊物體。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQBgQVoDc6
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHAdEgEfDk
武器上的印石，則是加強攻擊力，史特爾只知道，世界上突然出現的魔物，必須靠『印石』的力量才有辦法打倒。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ9kBRGLau
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PCKopDmPx
沒有印石，等於打不死怪物。636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFFZfBHvwU
636Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddIjAZb8dC
因此必須牢記一件事情，身邊的『印屬劍』絕對不能丟，或斷裂，否則連對抗的手段都沒有。
