Pine cone small town. 松塔小镇。 East of last human settlement as the Alvis area, but here nightfall forest must by it place. Because has jungle monster to rush out to make a harassing attack humanity frequently, therefore here also belongs to Sandtalin Association to label extremely one of the unsafe regions specially. 作为艾洛维斯地区以东最后一个人类定居点,这里可是出入黑森林的必经之地。由于经常有丛林魔物闯出来袭扰人类,因此这里也属于散地塔林协会特别标注出来极不安全的区域之一。 Close to at dusk, the sky is cloudy. 临近傍晚时分,天空阴沉灰暗。 Drives to the pine cone small town on the black carriage, Grim opens the car(riage) curtain, is sizing up peripheral all earnestly. 一辆驶往松塔小镇的黑色马车上,格力姆挑开车帘,认真打量着周边的一切。 Strikes the eye the institute and is the rolling mountain range, above has been covered with the lofty tree green and luxuriantly, one sight of green abundancy, in the mountain range hills is a curving double breaking a horse traffic lane. 触目所及是大片大片连绵起伏的山峦,上面郁郁葱葱长满了参天大树,一片绿意盎然,山峦丘陵之间是一条弯弯曲曲的双排马车道。 But the carriage that he hires walks on this mountain road. 而他雇佣的马车就走在这条山路上。 Turned head to see Grim, the short hair middle-aged man of driving a cart could not bear remind: „Lord Adept, you may probably sit, we must pick up the speed. When this mountain road daytime is safe, once at nightfall becomes very dangerous. Therefore we must rush to the pine cone small town before at nightfall!” 回头看到了格力姆,赶车的短发中年男人忍不住提醒道:“巫师大人,您可要坐好了,我们要加快速度了。这条山路白天时还算安全,可是一旦入夜就变得很危险。所以我们必须在入夜前赶到松塔小镇！” Grim nodded, has not spoken. 格力姆点了点头,没有说话。 Coming out that he looks, is gradually depressed along with weather, carriage of travel on this mountain road also in abundance picked up the speed. Two horse-drawn vehicles staggered and obsolete, the cart drivers each other did not have the mood of conversation, is burying to hurry along. 他看的出来,随着天色渐渐黑沉,一辆辆行驶在这条山路上的马车也纷纷加快了速度。两辆马车交错而过时,车夫们彼此也没有了交谈的心情,都在埋着头赶路。 The carriage is going following the mountain road fast, exceed proceeds, the condition of path is worse, jolting even more is also fierce. However is very smooth, catches up before the day will pass black, the carriage arrived in own destination pine cone small town. 马车循着山道快速行驶着,越往前走,道路的状况越差,颠簸的也就越发厉害。不过很顺利的,赶在天将黑透之前,马车抵达了自己的目的地松塔小镇。 The pine cone small town said that is a human small town, actually looks like a military foothold. 松塔小镇说是一个人类小镇,其实更像一个军事据点。 By the military foothold that the big thick board fence encircles! 一个被高大厚实木栅栏围起来的军事据点！ Grim also once visited excessively innumerable human villages and cities, may never see the protection to be so strict. 格力姆也曾访问过无数的人类村庄和城镇,可从未见过防护如此严密的。 The board fence that stands tall and erect thickly builds with the thick log of nearby wooded mountain felling, reaches as high as 3 meters, the upper extreme had been sharpened, has revealed the fair wooden stubble. Entered outside the wooden door of town to throw over turned round a thick metal guard shield, was fixed by the giant copper rivet in one. 那厚实高耸的木栅栏是用附近山林砍伐的粗大原木修筑的,高达3米,上端已经被削尖,露出了白生生的木茬。入镇的木门外面披覆了一层厚厚的金属护板,被巨大的铜铆钉固定在了一起。 The crenelation and high watchtower and arrow tower stockade many, above can see that indistinctly some people stand sentry in the patrol. 栅栏的雉堞和高高的角楼、箭塔一个都不少,上面隐约可以看到有人在巡逻放哨。 The black carriage when Grim takes drives into the small town slowly, pine cone small town complete picture bit by bit presents before him. 当格力姆乘坐的黑色马车缓缓驶入小镇,松塔小镇的全貌才一点一点的呈现在他面前。 This is a quite chilly remote small town. 这是一个较为清冷偏僻的小镇。 Altogether only has an avenue, 110 the log cabins and houses of big log pile of constructing distribute by the avenue, constituted small town Host's Body. Outside several specially big constructions is hanging some wooden advertisements, can see their functions reluctantly. 总共只有一条大街,110来栋高大原木堆建的木屋和房舍就排布在大街两侧,构成了小镇的主体。几个特别高大的建筑外面悬挂着一些木质招牌,勉强能让人看出它们的功能。 Tavern, inn, blacksmith's shop and general store, as well as a small mystique store...... 酒馆、旅店、铁匠铺、杂货铺,以及一个小小的秘法商店…… Here can also see the mystique store, Grim has to sigh with emotion, Witchcraft strength is really omnipresent! 在这里也能看到秘法商店,格力姆不得不感慨,巫术的力量果然无所不在！ The black carriage stopped quickly in front of crude two wooden ceilings, here was also the small town only inn. 黑色马车很快停在了一栋简陋的两层木楼前面,这里也是小镇唯一的旅店。 When Grim goes down the carriage, what the front surface sees is one does not live to rub hands, inn owner who the whole face flatters the look cautious. This is a middle-aged person, brown short hair, ash-gray burlap clothes, on face time zone smile. 当格力姆走下马车,迎面看到的正是一个不住搓着手,满脸拘谨讨好神色的旅店主人。这是一个中年人,褐色短发,灰色粗麻布衣服,脸上时时刻刻带着微笑。 Sees Grim that symbolic Adept robe, the happy expression of opposite party was strong. Although his look is cautious, but does not shrink, obviously is also the fellow who frequently and Adept has to do. 看到格力姆身上那标志性的巫师袍,对方的笑意更加浓厚了。他的神色虽然拘谨,但并不畏缩,显然也是一个经常和巫师打交道的家伙。 „I need a clean comfortable room!” Grim is hand-held the Sorcerer Staff pestle to stand before the inn owner, reaches as high as the shadow that 2 meters body casts almost covers the opposite party completely: „Moreover, I also want to recruit a small-type exploring party in the local area, you help me let out the rumor......” “我需要一个干净舒适的房间！”格力姆手扶着巫杖杵立在旅店主人面前,高达2米的身躯投下的阴影几乎把对方完全遮盖:“另外,我还想在本地招募一支小型探险队,你帮我把风声放出去……” „All metropolises such as you hope!” The inn owner grovels: „You invited to come with me!” “一切都会如您所愿！”旅店主人点头哈腰:“您请跟我来吧！” An arrival of Official Adept has created obviously also the slight stir of entire small town. Announced along with inn owner Jake's foreign specially, but also occupies mercenary in small town, adventurers and Apprentice Adept becomes moves restlessly immediately. 一位正式巫师的到来显然也引起了整个小镇的轻微震动。特别随着旅店主人杰克的对外宣布,还盘踞在小镇中的雇佣兵、冒险者和巫师学徒们立刻变得躁动起来。 Do not look that the pine cone small town semblance of undistinguished appearance, may in the entire Alvis area actually be extremely famous. 别看松塔小镇外表其貌不扬,可在整个艾洛维斯地区却是极有名气的。 Comes out from the small town, toward the northeast direction thorough wooded mountain less than 10 miles, will contact the black forest the edge. Goes through toward inside again, but will bump into numerous in the ordinary wooded mountain various strange creature, plants and wild animal that is hard to meet. 从小镇出来,向着东北方向深入山林不足10里,就会接触到黑森林的边缘。再往里面穿行,可就会碰到众多在普通山林里难以遇到的各种奇异生物、植物和野兽。 Therefore pine cone small town as approaching black forest last supplies place, is all wants the fellow who goes to the black forest to explore to stay or the place of process. 所以松塔小镇作为临近黑森林的最后一个补给地点,也是所有想要前往黑森林中探险的家伙必须停留或经过的地方。 Although in black forest danger extremely, but wants to be not excessively thorough, only spins in the surrounding, may discover some strange magical plants and Magicked wild animal. Regarding them, the experienced risk squad wants occupation matching to be reasonable, can have very big assurance to gain some spoils of war. 黑森林中虽然危险万分,可是只要不过分深入,只在外围打转,还是有可能发现一些奇异的魔化植物和魔化野兽的。对于它们,有经验的冒险小队只要职业搭配合理,就能有很大把握获取一些战利品。 But that mystique store in small town specially to leave the adventurer team of nightfall forest provides the foundation the Witchcraft thing, and purchases the magicked item special shop massively. 而小镇中的那个秘法商店就是专门为出入黑森林的冒险者队伍提供基础的巫术用品,并大量收购魔化物品的专门店铺。 ............ ………… Less than ten even rooms in besides a bed, a wooden table and chair, almost did not have other goods. The furniture wooden bed as if also builds with the mountain wood, has not undergone careful carving and polish, but also is bringing lumber unique delicate fragrance. 一个不足十平的房间里除了一张床,一个木桌和椅子外,几乎就没有别的物品了。桌椅木床似乎也是用山木打造的,并没有经过精心的雕琢和打磨,还带着一丝木材特有的清香。 The condition of lodging is crude. 住宿的条件非常简陋。 However considered that here environment so, Grim also no longer nitpicked anything. 不过考虑到这里的环境如此,格力姆也就不再挑剔什么了。 In comparison, food that the inn provides is quite but actually good. 相比之下,旅店提供的食物倒还相当不错。 The soft bread, the green mounts the thick vegetables thick soup, a piece of golden yellow not well-known wild animal rib platoon that as well as cooks...... Grim has tasted, flavor/smell is good, has a mountains and plains flavor, the energy of rib row of provision is also very sufficient. 松软的面包,绿色黏稠的蔬菜浓汤,以及煎烤的一片金黄的不知名野兽肋排……格力姆品尝了一下,味道还行,颇有一种山野风味,肋排提供的能量也很充足。 But all these, Grim had not discussed with inn owner Jake price, opposite party on naturally deferred to the best standard to assume all. 而这一切,格力姆都没有和旅店主人杰克讨论过价格问题,对方就自然而然的把一切都按照最好标准呈了上来。 As for price? 至于价格？ Adept never care about money, but only cares to enjoy. 巫师们从不在乎金钱,而只在乎享受。 But after this is also Jake sees Adept , the in high spirits most primary cause! 而这也是杰克看到巫师后兴高采烈的最主要原因！ Compared with adventurers who these minor matter must investigate, does intentionally with these compared with natural actually mean-spirited stingy Apprentice Adept, true Adept is never looks gold coins in intraocular. 与那些锱铢必究的冒险者们相比,与那些故作大方其实小气抠门的巫师学徒们相比,真正的巫师是从来不把金币看在眼内的。 When Grim filled the belly, shoves open the present dinner place, when with the napkin is cleaning the corners of the mouth gently, continuously Jake who serves in side with the meaningful glance was urging the maidservant remove the tableware, while respectful said in a low voice: People who „Lord Adept, you need were waiting in downstairs. You look......” 当格力姆填饱了肚子,推开眼前的餐盘,用餐巾轻轻擦拭着嘴角之时,一直在旁伺候的杰克一边用眼色催促着侍女把餐具撤掉,一边恭敬的低声道:“巫师大人,您需要的人都已经在楼下等着了。您看……” „Leads me to have a look!” Grim put out a hand took up to place by the table ‚destruction roaring flame’ Sorcerer Staff, pushing to the front went out of the room. “带我下去看看！”格力姆伸手拿起放在桌旁的‘毁灭烈焰’巫杖,一马当先的走出了房间。 A building living room has been filled with the adventurer who comes to respond , the quantity probably 50-60 people, character of many Apprentice Adept appearance. But can in the fellow who in the black forest seeks a livelihood, a top personal appearance is valiant, the speech and behavior is passing murderous aura. 一楼客厅已经坐满了前来应聘的冒险者,数量大概有五六十人,其中也不乏巫师学徒打扮的人物。而能够在黑森林中讨生活的家伙,个顶个身形彪悍壮硕,言谈举止都透着一股杀气。 Grim has not gone down the staircase, but stands in the handrail places of two buildings, occupying a commanding position overlooks the present crowd, in the look is soaking accumulated to make the person of guts mourning fearful pressure. 格力姆没有走下楼梯,而是站在二楼的扶手栏杆处,居高临下的俯视着眼前的人群,眼神中浸蕴着令人胆丧的可怕威压。 „I need one 5 to 7 people of small-type exploration teams, best has the expert of rich jungle life experience.” Grim said own request slowly: „This line does not need to hunt for any fierce monster, only needs to accompany me to explore a region then. The ordinary wild animal gives you to process, if has formidable monster, I naturally can process. In the journey the harvest turns over to you, but must first safeguard to complete my exploration task. This is the complete content of duty!” “我需要一支5到7人的小型探索队伍,最好是拥有丰富丛林生活经验的老手。”格力姆缓缓说出了自己的要求:“此行不需要捕猎什么凶猛的魔物,只需要陪我探索一片区域即可。普通的野兽就交给你们处理,如果真有强大的魔物,我自然会处理。旅途中你们的收获归你们,但是必须优先保障完成我的探索任务。这就是任务的全部内容！” In the hall spread slight clamoring. 大厅里传出了一阵轻微的喧哗。 The complexion of people are excited and inspired, obviously has not thought that this Adept can grant the so excellent condition. However Grim notes, on several on the aura tyrannical adventurer face has instead shown dignified and look of thinking. 众人的脸色激动且振奋,显然没有想到这位巫师能够允诺出如此优厚的条件。不过格力姆注意到,几个身上气息强横的冒险者脸上反而露出了凝重和思索的神色。 „Does not know whether this Sir could divulge approximate region that needs to explore?” An experienced adventurer caresses the chest to express best wishes: „I do not want to spy on your secret, but wants to appraise probably risk level of this duty!” “不知道这位大人能否透漏一下所需要探索的大致区域？”一位老成持重的冒险者抚胸致意道:“我并不是想窥探您的秘密,而是想大概评估一下这个任务的风险程度！” Hears the words of this adventurer, the crowd that moved restlessly is once more peaceful, vision centralized to Grim this mysterious Adept on. 听到这位冒险者的话,原本躁动的人群再次安静下来,都把目光集中到了格力姆这位神秘巫师身上。 „Region that I want to explore near Plague Forest!” Grim light replied. “我想探索的区域在病木林附近！”格力姆淡淡的回答道。 Plague Forest this name just an exit|to speak, in downstairs crowd had resounded the huge pumping air sound. 病木林这个名字刚一出口,楼下的人群中响起了巨大的抽气声。 On most people's face revealed the shocking look. 大部分人的脸上显露出了震惊的神色。 The Lord Adept money is not really good to take! 巫师大人们的钱果然不是那么好拿的！ Although they do not care about money, the employment expense that pays often is the ordinary risk duty five to ten times, region that but they appear and disappear frequently often also compared with ordinary duty danger ten to hundred times. 他们虽然不在乎金钱,付出的雇佣费用往往是普通冒险任务的五到十倍,可是他们常常出没的区域往往也比普通任务危险十到百倍。 Plague Forest? 病木林？ As frequently in the adventurer who in the black forest seeks a livelihood, they are very familiar with this name. It situated in pine cone small town Northeast 300 miles away, this also means that wants to arrive there, they need the deep nightfall forest 290 miles. 作为经常在黑森林中讨生活的冒险者,他们对于这个名字无比熟悉。它位于松塔小镇东北方向300里外,这也意味着想要抵达那里,他们需要深入黑森林290里。 This...... Could be very dangerous region! 这……已经可以算是非常危险的区域了！ As if saw that the present adventurer had been daunted by Plague Forest this name, the Grim right hand is pressing the parapet lightly, announced another news. 似乎看到眼前的冒险者被病木林这个名字吓住了,格力姆右手轻按着栏杆,宣布了又一个消息。 „Because this line of duties are quite dangerous, I am willing to pay 200 Magic Crystal for this reason!” “正是由于此行的任务比较危险,我愿意为此支付200魔晶！” The Grim's words have started immediately new storm in the crowd, all adventurer eyeballs were red, enthusiastically was discussing, in the hall made noise one group. 格力姆的话立刻在人群里又掀起了一股新的风暴,所有的冒险者眼珠子都红了,热烈的讨论着,大厅里喧闹成了一团。 Grim occupies a commanding position is very clear, some facial features immature new mercenary soldiers who looks shake the head to withdraw from the hall in abundance, another group of established mercenary soldiers after careful consideration, has drawn back one after another. 格力姆居高临下看的很清楚,一些面容稚嫩的新佣兵纷纷摇着头退出了大厅,另外一批老牌佣兵在仔细考虑后,也陆续退了出去。 Quick, in the hall only remaining was less than ten people. 很快,大厅内就只剩下了不到十人。 „Sir, my name was Luowei, was 2 levels of sword shield soldier, is willing to join your team.” Luowei is the famous height body strong young swordsman, turns around to point at behind two humanity: „This is my younger sister, Fylla, 3 levels of archers. This is Rhode, 3 levels of bandits and thieves.” “大人,我叫洛维,是名2级的剑盾战士,愿意加入您的队伍。”洛维是名身高体壮的年轻剑士,转身指着身后的两人道:“这是我的妹妹,菲拉,3级的弓箭手。这是罗德,3级的盗贼。” The Grim eye pupil has hit an revolutions on them, almost suddenly their master data scanning. 格力姆眼瞳在他们身上打了一个转,几乎瞬息间就把他们的基本数据给扫描了出来。 Adept World takes Adept as Venerable, other occupations beyond example were suppressed without doubt. 巫师世界以巫师为尊,其余的职业无疑都受到了空前的压制。 The 2 levels of 3 levels in Luowei mouth are only one symbolic name of world ordinary fighter, almost and Apprentice Adept equivalent is the correspondence. 洛维口中的2级3级只是人类世界普通战职者的一种标志性称呼,几乎和巫师学徒的等阶是对应的。 1 level is equal Pseudo-Adept in apprentice, 2 levels are equal to Advanced Level apprentice, 3 levels of Intermediate Level apprentice, 4 levels of Novice apprentice...... Almost all ordinary fighter like this divide. 1级相当于学徒里的准巫,2级相当于高级学徒,3级中级学徒,4级初级学徒……几乎所有的普通战职者都是这样划分的。 As for can with Adept fighter side by side, sorry, never has also appeared in Adept Continent! 至于能够和巫师比肩的战职者,抱歉,在巫师大陆还从未出现过！ Luowei who this sending out stands probably only then 27 or 28-year-old age, without element talent, can depend on the disciplining of fight skill and physical body only has 2 levels of strengths, converged in the ranks of talent sufficiently. 这位出动站出来的洛维大概只有二十七八岁年纪,在没有元素天赋的情况下,能够单靠战斗技巧和肉*体的磨练就拥有2级实力,也足以归为天才的行列之中了。 As for his behind two, the physical quality is also unprecedented outstanding, this makes Grim unable to bear nodded gently. 至于他身后的两个,身体素质也是前所未有的优异,这让格力姆忍不住轻轻点了点头。 The opposite party very obviously is a mature risk squad, such team uses more convenient! 对方很明显是一个成熟的冒险小队,这样的队伍用起来更顺手！ Since the other adventurers dare to remain, naturally also has been full of the great confidence to oneself, sent out own occupation and ability to Grim. Grim or the nod or shaking the head, have left finally only behind one 4 levels of hunter and that called Neil Intermediate Level potion apprentice that called Anthony. 余下的冒险者既然敢留下来,自然也都对自己充满了极大信心,纷纷向格力姆报出了自己的职业和能力。格力姆或点头或摇头,最终只留下了一个叫尼尔的4级猎人和一个叫安东尼的中级药剂学徒。 Reason that has chosen 4 levels of hunters, is in Jake's introduction purely. 之所以选择了一名4级猎人,则纯粹是处于杰克的介绍。 The skill that this Neil fights is not much, is actually a good chef, the delicacy that bakes was praised broadly. 这个尼尔战斗的本事不怎么样,却是一个不错的厨子,烧烤的美味广受赞誉。 Regarding the choice of Lord Adept, the Luowei three people can only helpless shrugging. 对于巫师大人的选择,洛维三人只能无奈的耸耸肩。 Really worthily is tender meat expensive Lord Adept, goes to the black forest to take risk, considered most how not to maltreat own stomach unexpectedly! 果然不愧是身娇肉贵的巫师大人,就连去黑森林中冒险,考虑最多的竟然也是如何不虐待自己的胃！ However at this time, in the hall besides five people of Grim designation, only the remaining whole bodies covered the mysterious person in black-robed sits alone in the hall corner. 然而这个时候,大厅内除了格力姆选定的五人外,就只剩下一个全身笼罩在黑袍中的神秘人独坐在大厅一角。 When the Grim eye falls on ‚him’ slowly, this mysterious person stood up to stroke hood, bowed to its salutes saying: „Lord Adept, we met!” 当格力姆眼睛缓缓落在‘他’身上,这个神秘人站起身拂下了兜帽,躬身向其施礼道:“巫师大人,我们又见面了！” Originally is ‚he’! 原来是‘他’！
