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103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD44wA3L5sT
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。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtJNcye5uy
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FZuoiYvW7
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！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN3uum8Ep8
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtvhycxzEV
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjkiZE0SPw
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2juFdvgiP
蓋達笑著問：「塔庫魯，你多高？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hkWkeGb1p
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzznY1TC6pj
塔庫魯想了想說：「很久以前量過，小隊長說有兩百一十公分！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYBn2RyrHB
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqWd5akkS8
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！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumo1jkyDLq
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7Cj81isgo
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！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zcjSkW855
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev2UrcTQ6c
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！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g7xw0dKH5
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqkzsjMcFE
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！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftMIi2G0PK
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rOxHzWpA9
眾人笑成一片，氣氛輕鬆起來。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY2LEMxTsU
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk9Jlm5VyR
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvJHGsv6m9
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKtpdNCcBt
這時泰倫斯抬起雙手，做了個下壓的手勢，讓大家安靜下來。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiENnWTv76F
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpapjxl3CC0
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。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GzTziuSMr
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fU8WkwrdY
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。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrSMEvGMRw
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepuYCynBs0
塔庫魯說：「我有一把了，在門口武器架那邊！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPUyITgJ7y
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1Q5Ujhe6f
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！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNhtpYyyv5
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQxopoNOFJ
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。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTly9l9n9Wx
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToQRDaM7X7
塔庫魯聞言，邁開大步跟上了泰倫斯。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLActbmQJ4p
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpXFYe3LL9
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbIwHvlTZz
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQZLgGp7Gc
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gauvZdOWO
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCXfB6GNTD
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV5nm1cRx7
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WbUcC4pTR
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD1dMEsV8o
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ7Z8fW54c
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUKuHMouIs
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHFrcgwTpf
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！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwbfN9i8Hg
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5yagJjNeT
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwITE931lqd
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidQiEV7KuS
他深吸一口氣，忽然爆發，一斧劈出——103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32mrRjk5uF
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc28xsRx1k
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen0iGzIg7x
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18dYAk8LLP
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNFLPwMagv
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslKRm2P84X
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQcNaiASud
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0G5gBs5pL
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！103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c71GdhRLi
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45SgXTpTNN
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZqbjsjZ2s
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspXSmyQbAB
演武場內一片錯愕。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuPZgdNb8m
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJNzxjEXL2
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6bax5SSMh
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMhsAzQSSM
就在塔庫魯準備放下木樁時，一位高階女天神人走了過來。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yjnKvqVpY
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbFkigaanP
她抬手示意：「請先別放下。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcjxqvNS1H
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdM9ClgY9B
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！103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRkNhF8TaK
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaxGfUdp6i
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。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCeDsknVrB
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyo558X8BF
泰倫斯雖然疑惑，仍轉頭叮囑：「塔庫魯，別動，先撐著。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR6ZAeG1CI
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaI8k3nRNJ
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？103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatP19llWif
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUCbhkwzlM
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。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA8B2bwh77
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4pTzVVJlr
塔庫魯小心挪動，來回幾次微調，直到她滿意為止。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy71Lsoh7F
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHgEuQcRB6
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrPxirgHjE
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHo16h6WJf
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOihJtaIBN
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5sWuCEvuJ
幾秒後，女天神人站起來，輕輕道：「可以了，放開吧。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzew8LVrbO
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XEcQQN3CF
塔庫魯緩緩鬆手，木樁穩穩立著，仿佛從未斷裂過。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MMrVoAPQb
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOfEqrCKnG
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。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOom8feSy7
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVGgHLzSe8
話音落下，她便轉身離開。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel9ojlfOVO
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHZkvh7uPu
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rrruAtb0z
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq1liInIog
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhyfs4BiQd
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnURaFRfha
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！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXP8WTArWH
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9jp4YRoPX
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaztXtuLY6
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmQRczngtq
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWxDn107FK
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPK8kdCVzJ
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCIxwMIPcJ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JvzYKsBxV
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV24ZzXUxQ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2exUOqiB18
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。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNnCOrKYsZ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsLUnhTI3C
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！」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kv93VZ3Nt
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfktzIHsFz
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？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk9IpMyhR6
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOmaoBAyrH
塔庫魯淡淡回答：「大家都在做，我總不能坐在一邊閒著吧。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ0byBfnUn
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiIkHnRm7x
派緹托腮笑著補刀：「不是聽說你們最擅長的，是坐下就打呼？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjmuOkx5Dj
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDr1vagOhD
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。」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t4fxzKnv6
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSGGE7ZyW1
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？」103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqbdjNkxy2
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxXGy7UnZD
隊員們笑成一片，氣氛越發融洽。103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBxpMoNMVV
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvhVkdAepE
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。
