這位就是歷經無數大小戰陣的老軍人，副隊長泰倫斯。
女王將目光轉向站在露西身後那位高大的戰士──蓋達，微笑道：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhyVXiCIJT
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfoOvbZmu6
「好一位氣勢驚人的戰士。你手中的單刀已是優良兵器，無需更換。但我將賜予你一面非凡之盾，名為『神奇之盾』。此盾可抵擋一切來自『重鎧級』以下敵人的物理與魔法攻擊，更妙的是，它輕若無物，絕不會成為你火炎山之行的負擔。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0zQiiSgzP
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO178z1rtB
說罷，女王雙手交疊，掌中綻放出璀璨金光。隨著光芒凝聚，一面古銅色的圓盾穩穩成形，宛如陽光下熠熠生輝的藝術品。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAHHqf8Lur
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqFH4tdWqw
她親手將盾牌遞給蓋達。後者咧嘴一笑，露出潔白的牙齒，爽朗地說：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWMotDG6fd
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEpuPih9QN
「多謝女王賜盾！有了它，就算再遇上三眼哮狼，我也能挺身而戰，不會退縮！」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeMzJ8Wh1z
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ22Jn224h
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaq7zvDbDr
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj142qD62c
女王輕點螓首，隨即將目光轉向站在蓋達旁的艾利歐特，語氣溫柔：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOSnWPJvIF
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6aWLmUxYL
「這位俊朗的戰士，雖然你腰間佩著長劍，但你的雙手告訴我，你真正熟悉的武器，並非此劍。因此，我將贈予你一樣更契合天賦的兵器。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUomwMhL2zj
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMazeHZzMX
此言一出，站在最前方的隊長夸斯特與副隊長泰倫斯齊齊睜大了眼，錯愕地望向艾利歐特。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qI9iFbuk8
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnihuHBpeox
只見艾利歐特聳聳肩，露出無奈笑意：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4o3xkrH2Y
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruoLCUOx6n
「在我們天龍國的軍中，除了像塔庫魯這樣的山蠻人，或少數特殊職務的士兵，大多數人只能選擇弓或刀、劍。其他兵器並未開放挑選，因此我也只能勉強使用長劍了。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdztMOhdbEi
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIEBCEXo3H
這番話既是對女王的解釋，也順帶讓自己的隊友們知曉真相，免得有人對自己產生了什麼誤會，那就不好了。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwciPW2XUvi
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNygirVg9yo
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM6Mx7dtOf
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIBTdoh79v
女王輕笑，掌中再次閃現金芒，隨之呈現出一條宛若活物般律動的長鞭。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJmClCVfgA
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPIG4eSawt
她將長鞭遞給艾利歐特，溫聲道：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9IHMHg5z5
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO0wcU7Tlt
「此鞭名為『馴獸師之鞭』，威力不容小覷。凡是進入鞭影範圍的敵人，只要你起心動念要擊中他們，他們絕無可能閃避。而破壞力，則隨你的修為而增強。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzKCCoqmCN
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0gD9gNyJg
她話鋒一轉，帶著一絲輕盈的玩笑：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu8bx73vJh
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9uXhXZxRB
「這鞭名為『馴獸師』，是因為它對奇蹄目生物有極強的控制力，尤其對馬類，更是它最擅長馴服的對象。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNjS0LwVKq
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctAt9Fcq4A
一旁的蓋達皺眉歪頭，一臉不解：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cBUFfkt8f
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYW9FL0hKt
「親愛的女王，您直接說能馴服馬不就好了？什麼奇什麼目的，聽著真繞口。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlLrTwvHRS
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQwXpbdDNs
永夜女王輕笑，眼中閃過一絲調皮：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMobcBpPVd5
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxCi1pr5SM
「馬只是奇蹄目的一種，其下還包括雷獸、犀、貘、恐爪獸與石爪獸等強大生物。若僅提馬匹，恐怕你會錯過這條鞭真正的力量。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKYHNp1ySY
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TBCAfJqqa
蓋達聽得似懂非懂，卻仍笑著點頭：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB1wSyI1oX
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPAIpusOVu
「嗯嗯，反正能打、能擋、能馴就好！那些名字……我慢慢再記吧。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXplmUCzRhL
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqUfgYTkvY
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXJ5Fu64dU
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjWxipja6b
女王帶著溫柔笑意，走到隊伍最後一排，目光落在副隊長泰倫斯身上，語氣中帶著尊敬：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgtOnuIcFW
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkiSh8yfIc
「這位歷經無數戰火的老戰士，你手中的單刀已顯疲態，滿是缺口與裂痕。若再以此上戰場，豈非辱沒你累積多年的榮耀？因此，我贈你一柄真正配得上你的寶刀──『龍骨聖刀』。此刀以千年魔龍之骨鑄成，鋒芒所至，無有不破，尤其對『重鎧級』以下的敵人，無所遁形！」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmI034foxn
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQYvIkLbzv
話音未落，她掌中凝聚出一道雪白光芒，最終化為一柄透著蒼光的寶刀。女王雙手奉上，泰倫斯立刻單膝跪地，雙手接過，鄭重道：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlqNPbn8Qf
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEY83nLJTX
「謝謝女王恩賜，我定不辱此刀之名！」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx51TOBG71e
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdQ2a5gmVN
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55pkkEuapd
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvtjYFrrar
女王輕點螓首，視線轉向旁邊那位魁梧的山蠻人──塔庫魯。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecIsIYwqSx
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSK7niDMRm
「你，身懷山蠻人天生的剛猛體魄與野獸般的力量，但在你身上，我也感受到真正戰士該有的氣息與智慧。這與我記憶中粗獷衝動的山蠻人形象，大為不同。或許，經歷千年演變，山蠻人早已蛻變，只是我目光未及。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwolxEK3d8
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf7ANk7aa1
此言一出，眾人紛紛轉頭看向塔庫魯，後者搔著後腦勺，略顯靦腆地說：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAax0t5TLrt
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZOXvUkiWq
「回女王，我在軍中服役四年半，大半時間都在前線磨練，經驗多了些，才顯得比較穩重吧。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5dEbG5IuJ
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwxoljJfxa
女王微笑未語，左手再次高舉，金色光芒自掌中綻放：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ376aXbtfmv
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d7HMXDf29
「既然你的心志已經開啟，我便不必再賜你智慧，而是要送你一種極為罕見的力量──只有內心單純、靈魂純潔的人，方能擁有它。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2weEVTKt9
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJAmvpHVys
話音剛落，那團金光凝為一顆璀璨光球，緩緩飛至塔庫魯胸前。女王輕按其胸口，光球宛如水流般融入體內。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWpDySJYPh
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNMM02tMOB
眾人驚愕地望著這一幕，女王則淡然解釋：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8M9JOoUIt
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAzVGowfVk
「我無法改變一個人的天賦，但能幫助天性質樸之人，啟發腦域深處的潛能。對常人而言，也許只是微妙提升；但對像塔庫魯這樣純樸的山蠻人而言，卻是一次脫胎換骨的蛻變。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvveKjWjxl
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMKZAhVhsL
副隊長泰倫斯拍了拍塔庫魯的背，笑道：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6oUsykuOV
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTVMEUD1e9
「你可真走運！還不快點好好感謝女王！」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVBnttTZ24
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8YAZ34Rpe
塔庫魯這才懷著無比敬意，朗聲道：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYleeSVOfWU
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrSNTC4Mna
「謝謝女王厚賜！這份恩典，我無以為報，唯有以性命守護此次任務，絕不辜負您的信任！」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMlrnQmydI
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJjrgN5kjO
女王輕笑頷首，溫聲道：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjUnomVICZ
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHb5DkxbU9
「我曾說過，你們無意間踏入永夜森林，是命運的引導，也是緣分的開始。我所做的一切，不是回報，而是願你們能完成這場神聖的使命。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmOfCPv5ZH
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaopGR8EeD
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RNL6m4pN0
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ggw4IfFVf
說罷，她轉身回到王座前方，金光依舊在大殿間柔和流轉，宛如整座永夜森林，都在為這場出征獻上最虔誠的祝福。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbEIn2NXgO
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7V4o4s9Kp
永夜女王望著眼前的八人小隊，語氣莊重：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E3nXt5MvR
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCbR4ypari
「雖然永夜森林距離火炎山僅有兩百公里，乍看之下，一個月內抵達似乎是輕而易舉。但這一路上的險阻與困難，絕不亞於你們原先從天門直闖火炎山的路線。最後，我能給予的協助，是將你們直接送往永夜森林最接近火炎山的出口，為你們節省整整一天的行程。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kDEBebI9H
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCWgWeHtYQ
話音落下，她輕步走到伊莉莎公主面前，口中低聲吟唱起古老咒語。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqHplLJT3o
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWafCkOiI4
瞬間，柔和的白霧升起，籠罩了眾人。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUvoZE4oqa
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSrbPDBItO
儘管身體未曾移動，但當五分鐘後白霧漸散，他們已置身永夜森林的邊緣。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX3A96oklN
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0PP19Es2s
眼前是一望無際的草原，天色清朗，空氣中帶著絲絲涼意。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdNyZfJ1Yf
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjViglcrtK
女王取出一份厚實的羊皮地圖，遞給夸斯特隊長，語氣溫柔而鄭重：36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf1TJuDHvN
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9gN3vBvKT
「這是比你們手上那份更加詳盡的地圖，標記了沿途所有魔獸出沒區與獸人活動範圍。請務必小心應對，願它助你們一臂之力，並預祝你們順利完成這場神聖的使命。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9E76rrzLy
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsMgtJx1S6
夸斯特隊長雙手恭敬接過地圖，小心地收入胸前甲冑後方，隨即對著女王行上戰士最高的騎士禮，以示最高敬意與感謝。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLeA810Ows
