一個月的時間，對於崁茲學院（Kanz Academy）的大多數地球學員來說，是在枯燥的冥想與繁重的體能訓練中度過的。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCkY60oOEm
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgRPT9nHoO
但對於洪軒而言，這一個月是在克萊門特導師那陰暗潮濕的地下實驗室裡，與強酸、金屬粉塵以及無數次失敗做鬥爭的過程。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDHfr4Ibjp
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZkPSs929L
實驗室的長明燈發出幽幽的綠光，將洪軒的影子拉得細長且扭曲。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1asBZoKEV
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTWGjlap6c
他戴著一副自製的防護眼鏡（用透明海獸皮磨製的），手中拿著一支極細的毛筆，筆尖沾滿了散發著刺鼻氣味的黑色液體——那是混合了蠟油與防腐劑的保護層。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsw2ZmELuS
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDB9XUFZHc
在他面前的鐵架上，固定著那根已經被拆解得只剩骨架的深藍色雨傘中軸。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlits9bpG6N
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6KaiX9hRI
「這是最後一步了……」洪軒屏住呼吸，手穩得像是一台精密的數控機床。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPKICgE06P
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82UfUC5q6Y
他在傘軸的圓柱面上，小心翼翼地勾勒著線條。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBaLGJZH1U
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZOMxUExNF
這不是平面的電路圖，而是立體的。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNuz64dO4W
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjGFcNPPPq
那道源自席爾薇雅建議的「莫比烏斯環」結構，必須在有限的圓柱體表面實現首尾相連的無限循環。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDer4mj1wL
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0KEK2y1xk
只要手抖一下，線條歪斜0.1毫米，這根珍貴的合金傘骨就會報廢。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHMNmLjoyu
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe4vcqyrLz
而導師施捨的那一小塊「導魔銀」，也只夠他揮霍這一次。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJM8qaeWEH
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SjOp55sK4
一滴冷汗順著額角滑落，流進眼睛裡，帶來一陣刺痛。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89NRHp8iU4
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIpvwXN7Pf
洪軒連眨眼都不敢，直到最後一筆完美的閉合。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NLRAwAJyg
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6nI8kCaJW
「呼……」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwa5QVv3Ow
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOtPWjOlgi
他放下筆，整個人像虛脫一樣癱坐在椅子上。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym3vJ9Fp3O
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7OCedz2Eh
接下來是腐蝕。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxqFk1THVT
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MbSPSacEU
將塗好保護層的傘骨浸泡在特製的強酸溶液中。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhKfjhg1e6
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VT8uiDz2a
酸液冒出咕嘟咕嘟的氣泡，吞噬著暴露在外的金屬，留下了被蠟層保護的紋路。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyzRIn7kkR
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFgFCZbU8y
等待的過程漫長而煎熬。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOGMFJUU1R
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZ7dkkugVe
半小時後，洪軒用鑷子將傘骨夾出來，放入中和液清洗，然後小心翼翼地刮去表面的蠟層。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsf7d9Mi4A
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN41WiJAy5
顯露出來的，是一件工業藝術品。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqvNwmpURv
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PdA0rlz3a
原本光潔的金屬傘軸上，深深凹陷下去的紋路構成了一個複雜而詭異的立體迷宮。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR6GzuKqwK
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNencEx4lg
最後一步：填充。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoACVm3FkB
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH8TUykwlz
將熔化後的「導魔銀」液體，緩緩注入這些凹槽之中。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZLJ6VA8St
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMryojRsTcw
銀液在冷卻後凝固，形成了銀色的線條，與黑色的傘骨形成了強烈的視覺對比。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs31IenTVg
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEDtVGsDAN
這就是洪軒結合了地球蝕刻工藝與異界魔法理論的產物——【嵌入式立體魔導回路】。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNp6JBeOnS
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc38J3j1Nou
他將傘骨重新組裝回去，裝上那顆已經有些黯淡的魔石，扣上黑鐵握把。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY2CYpeWew
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYvk9NfNq8
「喀嚓。」 機械結構咬合的聲音清脆悅耳。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3vjWs2XqA
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXJoFLXMhf
洪軒握住傘柄，深吸一口氣，嘗試輸入了一絲魔力。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQ3F9dKZ8W
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXszZvug03
這一次，沒有滯澀感。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo2VCiPUgO
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwQa05zJvC
魔力順著銀色的線條瘋狂流轉，那個「莫比烏斯環」結構像是一個貪婪的漩渦，瞬間將魔力吸入並加速。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zI5UuPS9Y
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFfsvUsYAL
原本需要1.5秒的充能過程，現在幾乎在眨眼間完成，而且傘柄處感受不到絲毫熱量——多餘的熱能被循環結構轉化為了推動力。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ISgHcGT7K
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqFRoAIR2s
「成功了。」 洪軒的嘴角勾起一抹疲憊但狂喜的笑容。 這把傘，不再是簡陋的原型機。 它是【風暴一號】（Storm-I）。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLiwOqjmM1
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbXxp0wJ92
兩天後的下午，崁茲學院圖書館。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmB7JUzQkG
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu7eMQVGNl
洪軒再次來到了那個靠窗的偏僻角落。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO2GonxakN
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZSe2KibZB
他並沒有帶那把顯眼的雨傘進來（那是武器，帶進圖書館會被管理員扔出去），但他口袋裡揣著一小截測試用的金屬管——上面刻著縮小版的「莫比烏斯環」結構。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxOyQsleGF
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh73Rql5GK
他不知道席爾薇雅會不會來。貴族的時間表通常很滿，或許那天的偶遇只是一次心血來潮。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGF4TmRPTO
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHJRQLenzu
但他還是來了。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoebyF9PYt
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Ttq2aFsg
不僅是為了兌現那個「讓妳看看成品」的承諾，更是因為……他有求於人。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JuEY2LiwM
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8U3045PqL
導魔銀用完了，他需要知道哪裡能弄到替代品，或者更高效的材料。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgGPXhThW0
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWZghkqZCi
時間一分一秒過去。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPKNMVexmN
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3J9FXYJNQ
就在洪軒以為今天會空手而歸，準備起身離開時，那股熟悉的、冷冽的凜冬花香再次毫無徵兆地出現。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtagF2V97UD
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSdpgDDVCw
「你看起來很焦慮，異界人。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVUe2Qammy
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT0saYMkPb
洪軒轉過身。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ko7I0rl9k
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNPJxJFeZ0
席爾薇雅依舊穿著那身精緻的絲光棉制服，手裡抱著一本厚厚的《古代魔文考》。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoisrmloiW
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNDrJIWBjt
陽光灑在她金色的長髮上，讓她整個人看起來像是在發光。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG968HFC6MY
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnlErHBHVj
「我以為妳不會來。」洪軒實話實說。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJxFJQoqnc
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJOUi29DJb
「我只是習慣坐在這個位置。」席爾薇雅淡淡地說道，走到他對面的椅子坐下，優雅地交疊起雙腿，「而且，我很好奇，你是不是真的把自己炸殘了。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWjzIuvuxR
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpaJtUfZF8
她的目光掃過洪軒全身，確認他四肢健全後，眼神中閃過一絲極不易察覺的放鬆。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aqYvFJkW0
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGU51mbAdY
「托妳的福，沒炸。」洪軒從口袋裡掏出那截只有手指長短的黑色金屬管，輕輕放在桌面上推了過去，「這就是成品的核心結構。雖然不是原件，但工藝是一樣的。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlSA7XipPc
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqnGmgrhbq
席爾薇雅漫不經心地伸出手，拿起那截金屬管。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1b3TmzXIK
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3u1XYjNVA
起初，她的表情是隨意的。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVhrP11CGw
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNag3vdVvR
但當她的指尖觸摸到金屬表面那平整得不可思議的銀色紋路時，她的動作停滯了。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrcj9vQRsm
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgbqJxB4Nt
她從口袋裡掏出一片單片眼鏡戴上，湊近仔細觀察。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0Dc4z8b5H
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XCeEaEO9z
「這不可能……」 她低聲喃喃，語氣中原本的高傲出現了裂痕。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllxH2gGzP4
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MpBg2yTVK
「沒有刀痕。這不是雕刻出來的。」席爾薇雅抬起頭，那雙湛藍色的眼睛死死盯著洪軒，「線條的深度完全一致，邊緣光滑得像是在顯微鏡下打磨過一樣。而且這種複雜的立體循環結構，就算是三年級的『精密構造』課程，也很難在這麼細的曲面上完成。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxKhzzWaPx
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafZ8cQYooS
她放下金屬管，第一次用一種看著「同類」——甚至是看著某種「未知威脅」的眼神看著洪軒。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5lRHgx6SN
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4dMRAu1FT
「你是怎麼做到的？用精神力強行壓製金屬變形？不，你的魔力總量低得可憐，根本做不到。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch7j86ehpr
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAmGGIcXkM
「這是秘密。」洪軒微微一笑，這是他在這場對話中掌握主動權的籌碼，「一種……來自我家鄉的工藝。我們不靠精神力，靠化學反應。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP71mtexHn
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkfNkxep90
「化學？」席爾薇雅皺了皺眉，似乎在搜索這個詞彙，然後勉強理解為「鍊金術的一種分支」。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9McewPfF8j
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdSfOFfU9P
「好吧，每個人都有自己的獨門絕技。」席爾薇雅摘下單片眼鏡，恢復了冷靜，「結構很完美。雖然材料低劣，但你確實實現了『維恩環流』。這東西如果應用在武器上，射速至少能提高三倍。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlou4y49FoF
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9M3RZhLdW
「五倍。」洪軒糾正道，「而且不會過熱。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa69D87dwdS
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfiFWHgWGp
席爾薇雅沉默了幾秒，手指輕輕敲擊著桌面：「所以，你特意在這裡等我，不僅僅是為了炫耀吧？你想從我這裡得到什麼？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DG7Ev7OKs
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh72pnvlSZ
和聰明人說話就是省力。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z1Jj8fZDg
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVj4kemQgf
「我想知道，除了導魔銀，還有什麼材料適合這種……流體傳導？」洪軒身體微微前傾，壓低聲音，「還有，我想借閱二樓的書。但我權限不夠。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K0W2vARYm
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi2C2ZtPx8
席爾薇雅看著他，嘴角勾起一抹玩味的弧度。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyas70lc8Gz
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KnS3K5moe
「你想和我做交易？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCNp0B0Lqj
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2qDozAnv9
「知識換技術。」洪軒說道，「我可以告訴妳這種『無痕雕刻』的原理。我相信這對妳研究精密法陣很有幫助。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne4zN6FVvN
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylNBbZRCuS
席爾薇雅輕笑了一聲。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRXipjeRBm
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekh9nfZSNQ
那笑容不再是純粹的嘲諷，而帶上了一絲欣賞。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcjtKvHv5i
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYewkYap9vk
「你很會做生意，異界人。這種『蝕刻法』……確實很有趣。如果能用在微型魔導器上，能省去很多麻煩。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA5CzmOuGW
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLIVX2rqLT
她從隨身攜帶的書包裡掏出一張淡金色的卡片，在桌面上滑給洪軒。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBNH6y86Ys
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYSBWYJR7k
「這是我的副卡，可以進入圖書館二樓，但僅限每週三下午。至於材料……」她頓了頓，「下週這個時候，如果你能給我帶來一塊刻有標準『聚能陣列』的金屬板，我會告訴你哪裡能弄到比導魔銀更好的東西。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI63QYxrrD8
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61CaxLARc9
洪軒按住那張尚帶著餘溫的卡片，心臟狂跳。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDlGQq6epu
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpQw6EGbFF
圖書館二樓。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnThaBYN0ui
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Odkes8ibs
那是存放進階魔法理論的地方。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e6hCrzZoD
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohYQsUTIeW
「成交。」洪軒收起卡片。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8yL840moV
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Upfx94Iua
「對了，」席爾薇雅站起身，整理了一下裙擺，看似隨意地問道，「你上次說的那個詞……『天才』，在你們的語言裡，是怎麼寫的？」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sU91Z80OR
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNZIMO5c3Z
洪軒愣了一下，隨即拿起筆，在草稿紙上寫下了兩個方塊字： 天才42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdVtCAlm2D
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVxhfp5H8s
「天才。」他用標準的中文唸了一遍。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUgecCFBKv
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTRvTpmGy7
席爾薇雅看著那兩個結構方正、筆畫剛勁的字符，低聲模仿了一遍發音。 「Tian... Cai...」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN3PuDtEcw
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GFv6tg0kW
她點點頭，轉身離去，金色的長髮在空中劃出一道優美的弧線。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSyUKm8gCE
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BX866dmNI
「別讓這兩個字蒙蔽了你的雙眼，洪軒。在崁茲學院，只有活到最後的人，才配叫天才。」42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDdQdfHtn7
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUE7tbgbQS
洪軒看著她的背影，手指摩挲著那張金色的借閱卡。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UNGYXOPpZ
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IjB8cWQ4w
他知道，自己剛剛和這座學院裡最危險也最強大的勢力之一，搭上了一條細若游絲的線。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi2vrd6hqI
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoOd9DbjcL
這條線或許能拉他上岸，也或許會勒死他。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKiOUu6Mdf
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW55CBB3li5
但對於溺水者來說，這已經是最好的救命稻草。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhabC3upYe
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNFcyjTlmw
窗外，崁茲學院巨大的鐘樓敲響了五下。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneW8oiWhyV
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVMIXNB5bn
夕陽將海面染成血紅。 洪軒收起筆記，目光堅定。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5PzqMQqJ0
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ErbwzKjqx
有了這張卡，有了【風暴一號】，接下來的學院生活，他終於有了反擊的資本。42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhdCPiBBYq
