„Weather even more cold.” “天气越发寒冷了。” Old Vic takes the one small pocket to walk slowly on the street, hides in the clothes pocket very much carefully. By the path has the maple leaf of falling gently, but does not have initial sense of beauty. Falling Leaf City is the one very beautiful city, but that was only once beauty, present Falling Leaf City is tattered and torn, the city wall that collapsed restored reluctantly, the fund of state treasury has dried up completely, the greedy aristocrats are not willing to take oneself family property fill cavity. In the alley of street has to roll up the refugee in corner, with commodity the public security in deficient city is even more turbulent. 老维克多拿着一个小口袋缓缓地走在街道上,很小心地藏在衣服兜里面。道路两旁有飘落的枫叶,不过却已经没有了当初的美感。落叶城是一个很美丽的城市,但那只是曾经的美丽,如今的落叶城千疮百孔,就连倒塌的城墙都是勉强修复好的,国库的资金已经枯竭殆尽,贪婪的贵族们根本不愿意拿出来自己的家产填补空洞。街道的小巷内有蜷缩在墙角的流民,随着物资的匮乏城市的治安越发动荡。 creak! 吱嘎！ Old Vic many shoved open the door slowly, this was one defeats the tumbledown house, the flames of war burnt down the corner/horn of roof, now can only stick to keep out wind and rain reluctantly. 老维克多缓缓地推开了房门,这是一座败破的房子,战火烧掉了屋顶的一角,如今只能勉强糊起来遮风挡雨。 „Jack?” “杰克？” Old Vyrkul many summoned one in a soft voice, soon then had the one emaciated young boy to walk. 老维库多轻声呼唤了一句,很快便有一个瘦弱的小男孩走了出来。 On his face reveals a happy expression, raises hand the pocket, then hugs the present young boy, said slowly: „I brought a grain to come back, a while the grandfather boiled the point to eat to you.” 他脸上露出来一丝笑意,扬了扬手中的口袋,然后一把抱起了眼前的小男孩,缓缓道:“我带了点粮食回来,等会儿爷爷给你煮点吃的。” The one 6 or 7-year-old young boy, he looks at the bag in old Vic multi- hand, on the small cheek reveals the hope the expression. 一个六七岁的小男孩,他看着老维克多手中的袋子,小脸蛋儿上露出渴望的表情。 Quick smoke from kitchen chimneys raises. 很快一丝炊烟升起。 When old Vic looks that the present grandson eats the wheat gruel in bowl greedily cleanly, but also licks after the bowl bottom is clean, in his heart can't help but feels a bitterness. 当老维克多看着眼前的孙子贪婪地将碗中的麦粥喝得一干二净,还将碗底舔得干干净净后,他的心中不由感觉到一阵酸涩。 „Grandfather?” “爷爷？” The young boy ate clean the wheat gruel in bowl, looks up front old Vic are many, said in a soft voice: „How don't you eat?” 小男孩吃光了碗里的麦粥,抬起头来看着面前的老维克多,轻声道:“你怎么不吃点？” Old Vic many do not scratch a corner of the eye quietly excessively, then Hehe said with a smile: „Grandfather started to eat.” 老维克多悄悄别过头擦了一下眼角,然后呵呵笑道:“爷爷开始已经吃过了。” The grain are not many. 粮食并不多了。 The city hall had stopped the relief, later gets so far as the grain even more to be difficult. 市政厅已经停止了救济,以后弄到粮食会越发困难。 The war claimed his two sons, claimed his wife, claimed his brothers. Now he only remains the one young grandson, as well as one in the nephew who the city garrison place takes the lower-level military officer. Old Vic multi- this year 50 years old, this age, if places the body of Human to be perhaps aged. His still body strong body is but strong as one Half-Elf. He is not fierce Class Holder, merely is one experienced hand Artisan. The industrious simple tradition enables him to be able, in the peace age lives on the having ample food and clothing life, when can work as the war approaches to be destroyed. 战争夺走了他的两个儿子,夺走了他的妻子,也夺走了他的兄弟。如今他只剩下来一个年幼的孙子,以及一个在城防处作为下层军官的侄子。老维克多今年已经五十岁了,这个年纪如果放在人类的身上也许已经老迈。可是作为一个半精灵他依旧身强体壮。他并不是什么厉害的职业者,仅仅是一个经验丰富的手工匠。勤劳朴实的传统让他可以在和平年代过上丰衣足食的生活,可以当战争来临时一切都被毁灭了。 Old Vic many are not lazy, if there is an opportunity of work he not to mind that is more laborious. 老维克多并不懒惰,如果有工作的机会他并不介意辛苦一些。 But in fact, present he simply has not depended upon the work to support itself and grandson's opportunity, the war disrupted the Falling Leaf City order, can only depend upon the nephew to provide relief some grain as one Artisan. 但事实上,如今的他根本没有依靠工作养活自己和孙子的机会,战争破坏了落叶城的秩序,作为一个手工匠只能依靠侄子救济一些粮食。 On the Falling Leaf City street everywhere is a refugee, they have no place to go homeless. 落叶城的街道上到处都是流民,他们无家可归也无处可去。 The attack of Half-Orc is harassing them as before once for a while, so long as the war has not stopped. All these will also continue. The flames of war destroyed all, chaos is trampling the order, the desolated farmland, defeats the broken street, the person store on the wane, the countless white bones that in the wilderness leaves behind. In the Falling Leaf City darkest corner, because hungry Half-Orc had been integrated their recipes. 半兽人的侵袭依旧时不时骚扰着他们,只要战争还没有停止。这一切都还会继续下去。战火破坏了一切,混乱在践踏着秩序,荒芜的农田,败破的街道,人丁凋零的商铺,荒野中留下的累累白骨。在落叶城最黑暗的角落,因为饥饿半兽人都已经被纳入了他们的食谱。 Old Vic many lucky. 老维克多还是幸运的。 Because his there's still one nephew can lend a hand, is insufficient to reduce to a more pitiful situation. 因为他还有一个侄子可以帮衬一下,不至于沦落到更加凄惨的地步。 „Cannot get down.” “不能这么下去了。” Old Vic sees at present the emaciated grandson, in the heart grieved even more rich, supports three population by the military provisions of nephew one person. simply is very difficult matter. But present Falling Leaf City simply has not made him work to support own opportunity, the war enables the cultivation only in the nearby of city, farther place simply is unlikely. The Half-Orc army will not give them the opportunity. But output of dependence this land is unable to maintain the population of city, only if Half-Elf can start one powerfully time counter-attacks to recapture the river bank the land, arranges one to defend Half-Orc sufficiently, being insufficient lets they round trip free defense line. 老维克多看着眼前瘦弱的孙子,心中的酸楚越发浓郁,以侄子一个人的军粮养活三个人口。根本就是非常艰难的事情。可是如今的落叶城根本没有让他工作养活自己的机会,战争使得耕种只能在城市的附近,更远的地方根本就不太可能。半兽人的军队也不会给他们机会。可是依靠这点土地的产出根本无法维持城市的人口,除非半精灵能够发动一次强有力的反攻夺回河岸的土地,重新布置一道足以防御半兽人,不至于让它们来去自如的防线。 However! 但是！ On the current situation, this is almost the unlikely matter. 就目前的情况来看,这几乎是不太可能的事情。 In the winter will soon approach. 冬天即将来临。 Old Vic looks at the grandson light clothes, the thin and small body, anxious can't help but in heart is even more heavy, because he does not know how this winter should boil. Falling Leaf City also has compared with they more difficult person, every morning when approaches can see the corpse that died frozen stiff. This year's climate must be colder than the old times. 老维克多看着孙子淡薄的衣裳,瘦小的身体,心中的忧虑不由越发沉重,因为他不知道这个冬季应该怎么熬过去。落叶城还有许多比他们更加困难的人,每天清晨来临时都能够看到冻僵死去的尸体。今年的气候比往年要更冷许多。 Heavy sound of footsteps resounds. 沉重的脚步声响起。 Does not need to look that also knows was the nephew came back, old Vic stood. Out of the door presented one to lead the young man of eye-shade. 不用看也知道是侄子回来了,老维克多站了起来。门外出现了一个带着眼罩的年轻男子。 Half-Orc took away his eyes. 半兽人夺去了他的一只眼睛。 However as one outstanding Archer, old Vic many nephews as before is the one very dangerous opponent. 不过作为一个优秀的弓箭手,老维克多的侄子依旧是一个很危险的对手。 „Uncle.” “大伯。” youngster took down the weapon. After looking in a room, said in a soft voice: „Jack? Fell asleep?” 年轻人取下了武器。看了一眼房间内后,轻声道:“杰克呢？睡着了？” Old Vic lightly nodded. 老维克轻轻点头。 He is full of the gratitude regarding this nephew, if not he helps itself, perhaps he and grandson's situation difficultly too will be many. 对于这个侄子他是充满感激的,如果不是他帮助自己,恐怕他和孙子的处境会困难太多。 „I have a matter to with you discuss.” “我有件事情要跟你商量一下。” youngster looked about, then entered in the room, some old Vic oversensitive doubts, but quick with. 年轻人看了看左右,然后走进了房间内,老维克多心中有些疑惑,但还是很快跟了上去。 Nephew's expression is very serious, gazes at present old Vic to be many, comes straight to the point saying: „I want to go to Mordor.” 侄子的表情很严肃,注视着眼前的老维克多,开门见山道:“我想去摩多。” What? 什么？ Old Vic gawked. 老维克多愣了一下。 youngster as if thinks that he has not understood what is heard, said again: „I want to go to Mordor. Falling Leaf City has been hard to support. If you also agree, I prepare to lead you to go to Mordor together.” 年轻人似乎以为他没听明白,再度道:“我想去摩多。落叶城已经难以支撑了。如果你也同意的话,我准备带着你们一起去摩多。” Mordor. 摩多。 Old Vic many eyes glow the ray immediately, always Mordor City has very special significance regarding the Falling Leaf City person, they missed a precious opportunity, now can only listen with that prosperous wealthy city related hearsay, is sighing the present even more difficult situation. 老维克多的眼睛顿时重新焕发出光芒,一直以来摩多城对于落叶城的人来说都有着很特殊的意义,他们错过了一次宝贵的机会,如今只能听着跟那个那个繁荣富裕的城市有关的传闻,叹息着自己如今越发艰难的处境。 Even if a day has not eaten the thing, but in old Vic many hearts as before fiery. 即便已经一天没有吃东西,但是老维克多的心中依旧一片火热。 „How to go?” “怎么去？” He sees the present nephew, a little urgently said: „Will some people meet us? Perhaps Mordor City in the overseas, goes to there is not easy.” 他看着眼前的侄子,有点急切道:“会有人来接我们吗？摩多城在海外,恐怕去那里不容易。” The nephew shakes the head gently. 侄子轻轻地摇了摇头。 His expression is dignified, said slowly: „No. Some people will not meet us.” 他的表情凝重,缓缓道:“没有。不会有人来接我们。” No one can meet us. 没有人会来接我们。 How is that located in Mordor City of overseas? 那怎么去位于海外的摩多城？ The nephew looks that present old Vic are many, continued: Person several of us who „must go to perhaps, are about to leave here to go to the Mordor City person incessantly to be many.

That Your Excellency bit is willing to admit our. After all he is one benevolent Deity!......
