简介： 第一卷 序章那是场凄绝的死亡。长久以来，消灭过无数鬼怪、象徵绝对力量的鬼械神艾翁。但是，这模仿神所造出的钢铁巨人，现在也已经不动了。残缺的脸孔、被撕裂的手臂、被轰碎的双腿&hellip&hellip刻划在它躯体上的无数伤痕说明了战斗的激烈，破碎剥落的装甲彷佛就像樱花凋零的花瓣。甚至已经不成人形、化为铁块的机械之神，垂倒在被瘴气与狂意玷污的污秽废墟中，迎接这充满悔恨的死。突然间，刮起一阵风。那将污秽的空间撕裂，逐渐净化一切的疾风，从上空带来了数百张的纸片，那幅光景就像是大量洒落的纸花，不同的是，那些纸片像是有灵性一样，以一定的规则性飘落，只见那带著淡薄磷光的纸片逐一重合，没过多久就在空中凝聚成一本书。离奇的现象没有就此停止，变成书的纸片接著再次散开，飞舞在空中，紧接著飞舞的纸片重新凝聚，这次纸片没有变成书籍，而是化成一名少女。少女在艾翁前方落地後，缓缓地睁开双眼。在这瞬间，她翡翠色的双眸染上了绝望的神色，少女的牙齿紧咬著唇，紧握的拳头不停颤抖，愤怒与绝望等各种负面情绪在心中翻腾，让少女晶莹剔透的白晰肌肤随之泛红。少女朝艾翁走近一步。然而在下一瞬间，勉强维持原形的巨人却伴随一声巨响，应声支查看详情>

简介： 在地底洞穴中住着一名哈比人。这可不是那种又脏又臭又湿，长满了小虫，满是腐败气味的洞穴；但是，它也并非是那种空旷多沙、了无生气、没有家具的无聊洞穴。这是个哈比人居住的洞穴，也是舒舒服服的同义词。这座洞穴有个像是舷窗般浑圆、漆成绿色的大门，在正中央有个黄色的闪亮门把。大门打开之后，是一个圆管状像是隧道的客厅：这是个没有烟雾的舒适客厅，有着精心装饰的墙壁，地板上铺着地毯和磁砖，四处还摆着许多打磨光亮的椅子。由于哈比人超爱客人来访，因此这里还有很多很多的衣帽架。隧道继续延伸，蜿蜒地深入山丘中，附近许多哩的人们都叫这座山丘为&ldquo小丘&rdquo，小丘各个方向还盖了许多圆形的小门。哈比人可是不爬楼梯的：卧室、浴室、酒窖、餐点室（超多的呢！）、更衣室（他有一整间房间都是用来放衣服的）、厨房、饭厅，全部都在同一层楼，也都在同一条走廊上。最好的房间都是在左手边（继续往里面走也一样），因为只有这方向的房间才有窗户，这些浑圆的窗户可以俯瞰他美丽的花园，和一路延伸向河边的翠绿草地。这名哈比人生活相当富裕，他姓巴金斯。巴金斯一家人自古以来，就居住在小丘这一带，附近的邻居都很尊敬他们；不单只是因为他们大部查看详情>
