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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5wY6lwrd0
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCVmpASYBK
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtSzkv38ie
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdYTtRiuUB
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTmYOobVeq
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXuEDmCbSo
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJzHN38lOB
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUbLxS5G0H
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQFFmyTZbd
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtTycnK1Py
「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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH161nuqrLi
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBnwxFvVdm
他在傘軸的圓柱面上，小心翼翼地勾勒著線條。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiM2l6oJ6n
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxnjfNM7SD
這不是平面的電路圖，而是立體的。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcamWJnzv4
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlJOX0E0TT
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQFmQGZPvl
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLTUE4hSek
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k8t7JcvGP
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpA00Zhyav
而導師施捨的那一小塊「導魔銀」，也只夠他揮霍這一次。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtVlPghEyO
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rWXVd3EkX
一滴冷汗順著額角滑落，流進眼睛裡，帶來一陣刺痛。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ997o9tROGO
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GiXlTd1lX
洪軒連眨眼都不敢，直到最後一筆完美的閉合。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ccVyRQCF
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJykRFfGeVd
「呼……」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbImo95R42
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxCCUfd31w
他放下筆，整個人像虛脫一樣癱坐在椅子上。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTnrKIizad
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH880sWm2wS
接下來是腐蝕。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbQ0OdNs1X
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8W8ESygha
將塗好保護層的傘骨浸泡在特製的強酸溶液中。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq74U7lKmxE
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ7nxFgJvl
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLdGbB07SJ
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXyqcq9pHF
等待的過程漫長而煎熬。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6RKdxk9M7
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ63ga71q2S
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQnOTDwlQR
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3IpYnYsYq
顯露出來的，是一件工業藝術品。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQSkiodAEH
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H5DuTRY75
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMs93J1jrn
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mw7DVqqgn
最後一步：填充。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZlOhURqt4
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFIK6mX6F8
將熔化後的「導魔銀」液體，緩緩注入這些凹槽之中。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZGkVeQeMa
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvwtfrO3MI
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidCUVwIEU0
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LQj4QUPVo
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】。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2kYsA9b7Q
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbSx4weJkP
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEvqCf7iSu
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4zKlYYEjk
「喀嚓。」 機械結構咬合的聲音清脆悅耳。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5HiuXX7tl
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhWNNgbGrD
洪軒握住傘柄，深吸一口氣，嘗試輸入了一絲魔力。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4bEMa0FsY
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTztxq47A3
這一次，沒有滯澀感。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CnMIqfPMK
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr032cQrFE
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOIMte9vPF
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XRpnEYbgA
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHXyxL0nLQ
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkjqJ95XuL
「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）。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQADnDz9AY
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8uAoL2y13
兩天後的下午，崁茲學院圖書館。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYHKg2YWoU
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQMAZXe1u6
洪軒再次來到了那個靠窗的偏僻角落。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6ZR8nA6SN
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHdc1XbGM1
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeboWKEw7y0
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRr8Ynp7N4
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTKuC4JKg6
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFehNoWAELH
但他還是來了。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4W1NWMQPv
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5c8biO5jH
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCJrQ1PmLB
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvOZxsDJAq
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfreCbQwoPB
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEIHveDXhD
時間一分一秒過去。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A3iWP2J6t
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6nnaQoHMw
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIHykVlcNw
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTgm5u0yaY
「你看起來很焦慮，異界人。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkEOIJQQ9g
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFSiGWpePV
洪軒轉過身。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iOlNWZ1lr
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZFi5Hmj9A
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》。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8O2MD6uTw
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxAURjL0OA
陽光灑在她金色的長髮上，讓她整個人看起來像是在發光。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PF3XPbsKq
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqqOWM8EXi
「我以為妳不會來。」洪軒實話實說。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Abmwbsgo
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FHaZDgkNf
「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。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNePijjXLGC
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebmpxIybDe
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHytfmaDHqc
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCGUiyE4hP
「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。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QDfm8CWjv
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1lL0F5BLa
席爾薇雅漫不經心地伸出手，拿起那截金屬管。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0AEEqYwg9
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W41rrfqXO
起初，她的表情是隨意的。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQEyhdhaX9
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebwnkL0Rlp
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzksoKPEAUI
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzFuP0Pmet
她從口袋裡掏出一片單片眼鏡戴上，湊近仔細觀察。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnwtUUZhFq
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLFETH1bLz
「這不可能……」 她低聲喃喃，語氣中原本的高傲出現了裂痕。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2DVvM8Hm1
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaV1xGzd6AP
「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。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsAk1hPZqI
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbWZRj5jpc
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH98FYM7aA
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1LqEawIs1
「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。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTeYolLwsm
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ugimljj3M
「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。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtrvZFoiGk
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14Qjh59wUQ
「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」。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDf79eEEx8
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZVGuzKq29
「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。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6odBoYk23
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAKlBO4cne
「五倍。」洪軒糾正道，「而且不會過熱。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7cfel6TLn
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu4UOrtmQn
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？」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk2amyHpLn
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT19aEbMFF
和聰明人說話就是省力。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM8IKegN7t
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNcjgJ7hDS
「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。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CubrKQv2B
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIKlmlYv5O
席爾薇雅看著他，嘴角勾起一抹玩味的弧度。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mhZ2r9wWr
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4dR0rPJbA
「你想和我做交易？」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UbOH0yib4
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3j4sY8kG1
「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。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyZBbrF9tR
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ8yIFP97D
席爾薇雅輕笑了一聲。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG74Cd9GZ5
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK8c5EW6bx
那笑容不再是純粹的嘲諷，而帶上了一絲欣賞。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtrffrgF1f
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYYm6ywv9I
「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。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeBYJYNoaA
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r8GI1HrGT
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlPeQX4Vcq
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4czJq0cEaC
「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。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wUxn9vVHU
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDNOMtUC0w
洪軒按住那張尚帶著餘溫的卡片，心臟狂跳。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CGIuSOXUp
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnreBFW9wh
圖書館二樓。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIBisgyZRr
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6OZQedsRs
那是存放進階魔法理論的地方。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1swdMSGrX
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4o8uw0Uos
「成交。」洪軒收起卡片。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD1wZ5gtkD
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjSHK1RBAZ
「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？」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy5x92qCqJ
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWg5RXH9zv
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39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhjVXEli1i
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPuwrZfdD2
「天才。」他用標準的中文唸了一遍。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCCiIWnr3s
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRMXzrvhcI
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...」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA64LNJfJA
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjCX8p21px
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBOu4ILuMf
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVwPymoASk
「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。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOvIofdWLt
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJmz4d8sk1
洪軒看著她的背影，手指摩挲著那張金色的借閱卡。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxZA3hQiQA
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSkvLbQVS3
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIErwZDQWk
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchGrWaQlLo
這條線或許能拉他上岸，也或許會勒死他。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocBgoJYWBf
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOYmaouNAG
但對於溺水者來說，這已經是最好的救命稻草。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX2mLYYMkl
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSVXbQmK3H
窗外，崁茲學院巨大的鐘樓敲響了五下。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnTH0l3ck1
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3kEqujXjW
夕陽將海面染成血紅。 洪軒收起筆記，目光堅定。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUVmNcw9r6
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwwhI81nFj
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。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TN7aKZnxW
