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104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXUqmmv3KN
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。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEreSkt4VMO
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkCiM6eEKV
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！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vux1NthJ2
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6hX5UMRQ4
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4jZgi078Q
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmoZsUKsA1
蓋達笑著問：「塔庫魯，你多高？」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02XzJYr1QE
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fx3mFBxYg
塔庫魯想了想說：「很久以前量過，小隊長說有兩百一十公分！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoi8Pz4PoI
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyDzoqJTqK
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！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY1viU2lNA
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot10cyPFBm
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！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaXUdscQ3Q
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrguoxG2a1z
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！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqX3mCspEo
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTGkiPtWPw
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！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAckhxl1vn
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LiFsHGg5s
眾人笑成一片，氣氛輕鬆起來。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS86TrUVYOr
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUveJHgj5QW
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswyEl2bQ4h
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnzJzneH0k
這時泰倫斯抬起雙手，做了個下壓的手勢，讓大家安靜下來。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdTRTiRpmH
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAZ2hdPIb4
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。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL15brbO0F
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GdPpFNVWA
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。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy66HURWkr
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUIMGnMvHv
塔庫魯說：「我有一把了，在門口武器架那邊！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKJlfFrcds
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKB3velB7s
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！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyHIRksnrl
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0GWbTsGK4
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。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6TCceQ91K
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP2Y9aK301
塔庫魯聞言，邁開大步跟上了泰倫斯。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriIcxrCgah
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CJGFRWuuB
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAPb4zOzPc
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5X0Ux4Sfi
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBHlWfNlro
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha5D4ejBaP
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Aj1TSyJvR
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN59ALrZqp
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBKinfvXx5
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR0IU11hED
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTJAGWIiQt
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzux1U5K3T
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！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFReVF6XvO
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb2v5uPtAY
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIT9YL1AJb
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9e94trGpc
他深吸一口氣，忽然爆發，一斧劈出——104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzGDhVmEXV
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSmShuQKpb
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EJX3U3JKi
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNyNXIRGXZ
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyo8SCgNx3
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUKEgYxfJz
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMvWFwCK2P
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1nK9vOzhW
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！104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMtODIHFkL
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiySBtRsPCN
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4BJSxfaxd
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAZYVhHGoL
演武場內一片錯愕。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPysfuZtAN
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGVSxXywSA
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXVqdn3TRY
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYsRfajGI2
就在塔庫魯準備放下木樁時，一位高階女天神人走了過來。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CnpMhAreg
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIosdc7L98
她抬手示意：「請先別放下。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt25SceZh9
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyPYSAkpeG
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！104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGBb8EL5Fu
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkBfW983lX
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。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ1gPTNUMr
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIayGtVdBZ9
泰倫斯雖然疑惑，仍轉頭叮囑：「塔庫魯，別動，先撐著。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79qeVwa4st
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBSRJMYYjU
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？104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOAlEJhrdb
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSacQm48fqh
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。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn09aeWzHY
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3RWZrqWtF
塔庫魯小心挪動，來回幾次微調，直到她滿意為止。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQo4FU3vHE
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8cRF8NHon
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu8WJsZgrL
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuHNeJs36A
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsgsjh2ERO
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMcx7WcuJZ
幾秒後，女天神人站起來，輕輕道：「可以了，放開吧。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iEPwyHlNs
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHi0t6jCId
塔庫魯緩緩鬆手，木樁穩穩立著，仿佛從未斷裂過。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtkEZRWgH4
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1YddpvVgz
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。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdApPfzwzNu
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXWMRzX6JD
話音落下，她便轉身離開。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XT3RKhDLw
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwEvpsGhGL
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQk3rhs9E5
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSQN1MlkNC
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl6PyNrSsF
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnnxnOOiNF
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！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkDGt5FqiP
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8HSgGHpaa
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcuPm5ZnwB
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dW08HR1GC
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67TguYPkM4
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1CHwbUuq2
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5aDB80FQd
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMGdkFBblZ
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoh9fFMd8o
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuGqIltWM9
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。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSxksgsE6I
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgRWA5ZiqX
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！」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWpEa5EQqN
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnoBYeVaiz
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？」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL5C8c2pIZ
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2xx9XeTh3
塔庫魯淡淡回答：「大家都在做，我總不能坐在一邊閒著吧。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqiTmzTgYS
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNF6irXMJE
派緹托腮笑著補刀：「不是聽說你們最擅長的，是坐下就打呼？」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB9BkHkhrN
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jTYTNyUAf
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。」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1vh2wr67J
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9IKzzQkas
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？」104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSIwH4hxD3
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Fy04nVOQ
隊員們笑成一片，氣氛越發融洽。104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VNCISNStA
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj12eY3LKC
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。
