Gill city. 吉尔尼斯城。 Places Continent Central, the small town of this 10,000 population is really a commonplace. 放在大陆中部,这个只有10000人口的小城实在是毫不起眼。 As the Sarubo Clan edge territory, here does not have function complete Adept Tower, lithical Tower that only then a blue stone paves. 作为萨鲁波家族的边缘领地,这里并没有功能齐全的巫师塔,而只有一座青石铺就的石质高塔。 In recent years because the Sarubo Clan Adept quantity is reducing throughout, main Adept strength centralized in these core territories. Like the blue stone Tower of Gill city, 37 years did not have Official Adept to guard. 近些年由于萨鲁波家族巫师数量始终在减少,主要的巫师力量都集中在了那些核心领地。像吉尔尼斯城的这座青石高塔,已经37年没有正式巫师驻守了。 Because lacks the necessary manpower to handle, the trailing plant that blue stone Tower outer wall already everywhere climbed up has covered, but a surrounding two meters high iron fence is the rusty stain stained, many place hole is also big can drill one to go. 由于缺乏必要的人手打理,青石高塔外墙已经被到处攀爬的蔓生植物覆盖了,而外围两米多高的铁栅栏也是锈迹斑斑,很多地方孔洞大得都能钻过一个去。 Once the small garden of gathering of beautifully dressed people also had abandoned, weed and that in the flower garden only then grew thickly dry small pond. Has extended from the garden entrance to the blue stone trail of Stone tower front door also already covers by the fallen leaf and dust, looked like is very as if long nobody to pass through from here. 曾经花团锦簇的小花园也已废弃,花圃里只有丛生的杂草和一个干涸了的小池塘。从花园门口一直延伸到石塔大门的青石小径也已经被落叶和尘土覆盖,看起来似乎很久没有人从这里走过了。 When the Grim's black carriage stops in the garden entrance, presents in present is such a ruined bleak picture on the wane. 所以当格力姆的黑色马车停在花园门口时,呈现在眼前的就是这么一副破败凋零的荒凉景象。 „Sir, or we look for an inn to place first, then looks for people to clean here?” The Sablina contour is somewhat strange, when going out always covers oneself with black-robed. Sees the present picture, she is supporting by the arm Grim from the carriage, while the suggestion said. “大人,要不我们先找个旅店安置下来,然后再找人把这里打扫一下吧？”萨布丽娜的外形有些怪异,因此外出时总是用黑袍把自己遮挡起来。看到眼前的景象,她一边搀扶着格力姆从马车上下来,一边建议道。 As for Billy, acts as the groom all the way, at this moment stands in the one side bows to stand. 至于比利斯,一路上充当马夫,此刻则站在一旁躬身侍立。 A Grim black Adept robe, above does not have Witchcraft of attached anything big might, but is only a simple energy guard shield. Because does not need to fight temporarily, three Aion Stone were received in the waist pouch. Grim leaned on ‚destruction roaring flame’ Sorcerer Staff, pushing to the front was entering the garden. 格力姆一身黑色的巫师袍,上面并没有附着什么大威力的巫术,而只是一个简单的能量护罩。由于暂时不需要战斗,三个艾恩石被收入腰囊之中。格力姆手拄着‘毁灭烈焰’巫杖,一马当先的走进了花园。 Took a step to enter the instance of garden gate, has swept his body the Grim very clear sensation to a weak survey ripple. 迈步走进花园大门的瞬间,格力姆很清晰的感知到了一道微弱的探测波纹扫过了他的身躯。 Well, hasn't here Witchcraft facility expired completely? 咦,这里的巫术设施还未完全失效？ Grim is filled with the taking a step vanguard of suspicion, the kinking lived in the together vine flowering branch suddenly, drew back like the snake to the both sides, has let the path. 格力姆满心疑窦的迈步前行,原本绞缠在一起的藤蔓花枝突然活了过来,像蛇一样退向了两侧,把道路让了出来。 Thump thump thump...... 噔噔噔…… Sorcerer Staff orderly light in Grim hand ignites the flagstone, leisurely strolls complements across that in the blue stone trail in weed and vine. As he leads the way step by step, the front Variation demon cane step by step is also retroceding, revealed on the flagstone that even presented some snow white bones of the dead. 格力姆手中的巫杖有规律的轻点着石板,信步穿过那条掩映在杂草和藤蔓之中的青石小径。随着他一步步前行,前方的异种魔藤也在步步后退,显露出来的石板上甚至出现了一些皑皑白骨。 But by the side of skeleton, but also is remaining the dagger and decayed rope of breaking. 而在尸骨的侧旁,还残留着断折的匕首和腐朽的绳索。 Clearly, this is some covets the Adept wealth, wants while the bandits and thieves who Tower nobody gets money. 很明显,这是一些觊觎巫师财富,想要趁着高塔无人来打打秋风的盗贼。 These ignorant fellows, where also knows the fearfulness of Adept . Even if this Tower nobody has handled, is not their these mortals can visit! 这些无知的家伙,又哪里知道巫师的可怕。即便这座高塔已经无人打理,也不是他们这些凡人所能踏足的！ Plants some Magicked vines and bloodthirsty adult plants near the Adept residence, this is also one protection method that Adept is in vogue. These magical plants not only the bloodthirsty is cruel, but also the vitality is long, even if no time to manage, they cannot dying easily. 在巫师居所附近种植一些魔化藤蔓和嗜血植株,这也是巫师界盛行的一种防护手段。这些魔化植物不但嗜血残暴,而且生命力悠长,即便没时间去管护,它们也不会轻易的死去。 Regarding the average person, these carnivorous adult plants endure compared with monster fearful creature simply. May regarding Adept , they actually be most tame adorable ‚watchdog’. 对于普通人来说,这些食肉植株简直就是堪比魔物的可怕生物。可对于巫师们来说,它们却是最为温驯可爱的‘看家狗’了。 Across less than hundred meters winding garden, before Grim arrived at the Stone tower front door. 穿过不足百米的曲折花园,格力姆来到了石塔大门前。 When he used Sorcerer Staff to rap on sincere stone gate, an old face reappeared from above. 当他用巫杖在厚重的石门上敲击了一下,一个苍老的人脸从上面浮现出来。 „You have 5 counting on the fingers time to say the general password, will otherwise suffer the penalty of Adept !” “你有5屈指时间说出通行口令,否则将会遭受巫师们的惩罚！” „The light of Yale!” “耶鲁之光！” „Password is correct! Welcome your arrival, Lord Adept.” “口令正确！欢迎您的到来,巫师大人。” Along with disappearance of Witchcraft servant, the dust-laden many years of front doors in the fricative opened in one finally. 随着巫术仆役的消失,已经尘封多年的大门终于在一阵吱吱呀呀的摩擦声中打开了。 „Sablina, is taking my status token, went to start Stone tower following core sorcerer array!” “萨布丽娜,拿着我的身份令牌,去把石塔下面的核心巫阵启动了！” „Billy, you visit here superintendent, making them report the newest situation to me tonight!” “比利斯,你去拜访这里的管理者,让他们今晚向我汇报一下最新的情况！” After two personal servants send, Grim starts to leisurely stroll in the tower glanced over. 把两个跟班打发走后,格力姆开始信步在塔内浏览了一遍。 Three Stone tower, first is apprentice and janitor rest housing place, second has crude library and alchemy lab, third is the Adept residence. What among three depends is a Stone tower corner/horn spiral-shaped Stone Staircase connection. 三层的石塔,第一层是学徒和杂役休息居住的场所,第二层有一个简陋的图书馆和炼金实验室,第三层才是巫师的居所。三层之间靠的是石塔一角螺旋状的石梯连接。 Can look, previous Adept departed is the dozens years ago matters. Although some Stone tower also protective measures, here regularly also has Apprentice Adept to come back to supplement Magic Crystal, but the energy pond is in energy deficient status/mode throughout. 看得出来,上一次巫师离去已经是几十年前的事了。虽然石塔也有一些防护措施,这里定期也有巫师学徒回来补充魔晶,但是能量池始终处于能量匮乏的状态。 This also causes air/Qi closes/obsctructs Mingchuang to expire majority, dust and years corrodes in Gentaz the living facility to be unserviceable. Even some rooms, the demon cane crawled completely half wall. It seems like wants to live here, must earnestly clean one to be good inside and outside. 这也导致大部分气闭明窗都已失效,灰尘和岁月的侵蚀让塔内生活设施已经不堪使用。甚至有些房间,魔藤已经爬满了半个墙壁。看来想要在这里居住下去,必须把里外都认真打扫一遍才行。 Grim shoves open the wooden door, arrives in a room in similar bedroom. 格力姆推开木门,来到一间类似卧室的房间里。 One table of chair wooden beds. 一桌一椅一张木床。 The entire room may be called crude. 整个房间堪称简陋至极。 The Grim keen vision has swept in the room fast, before arriving at the wooden table slowly, whisks off thick dust above with the hand, revealed one line to resemble the magic pattern strange writing. 格力姆敏锐的目光在屋内快速扫过,缓缓走到木桌前,用手拂去上面厚厚的一层尘土,露出了一行酷似魔法花纹般的古怪文字。 „Death and I in!” “死亡与我同在！” ............ ………… Hears Grim's to arrive, has only used for short a half hour, Gill city sent for rushing to blue stone Tower. 听闻格力姆的到来,只用了短短半个小时的时间,吉尔尼斯城方面就派人赶到了青石高塔。 In gloomy building Pianting. 阴沉的一楼偏厅内。 The decayed obsolete furniture ornaments have cleaned up. 腐朽陈旧的家具摆设都已经清理了出去。 Here has decorated a fine red tung oil tree wooden dinner table temporarily, Grim leisurely and carefree by high back chair, is tasting the delicious small foie gras, while is carefully examining at present be with smile on the face Alva Viscount silently. 这里临时摆设了一张精美的红桐木餐桌,格力姆悠闲的靠在高背椅上,一边品尝着味道鲜美的小鹅肝,一边默默审视着眼前面带微笑的阿尔瓦子爵。 Alva Viscount is the Sarubo Clan assignment superintendent here, is the city Lord in Gill city. 阿尔瓦子爵是萨鲁波家族委派在这里的管理者,也是吉尔尼斯城的城主。 But opposite party forehand is holding one dozen of thick parchment, was reporting the small town these years development situation with a melodious sound unceasingly. Regarding these information, Grim is not interested, but he has not spoken to break the opposite party. 而对方此刻正手捧着一打厚厚的羊皮纸,用略带一丝抑扬顿挫的声音不断的汇报着小城这几年的发展情况。对于这些情报,格力姆丝毫不感兴趣,不过他并没有出言打断对方。 After all, they are waiting for tonight truly ‚lead’! 毕竟,他们都在等待着今晚真正的‘主角’！ After one hour, when Alva Viscount read aloud somewhat when had a parched mouth, Tower outside transmitted the horse's hoof to rap the azure flagstone the clear sound. 一个小时后,就在阿尔瓦子爵都念诵的有些口干舌燥之际,高塔外面传来了马蹄敲击青石板的清脆响声。 At once, two travel-worn Apprentice Adept walked. 旋即,两位风尘仆仆的巫师学徒走了进来。 They are Sarubo Clan accredit in mine tunnels and resources two Chief Apprentice. 他们就是萨鲁波家族派驻在矿坑和资源点的两位学徒长。 Chief Apprentice of guarding iron hoop excavation field is Pseudo-Adept that called Urey, he was also two months ago just replaced that causing trouble Thacker Chief Apprentice position. But guarding 2 levels of resources is fellow who called Morse, was Pseudo-Adept. 驻守铁环挖掘场的学徒长是个叫尤里的准巫,他也是二个月前刚刚接替那位闯祸的撒克学徒长位置的。而驻守2级资源点的则是个叫摩斯的家伙,也是一名准巫。 Saw that two Chief Apprentice arrive, Alva Viscount of all smiles has moved sideways to fall back on immediately one side, has given them the stage. 看到两位学徒长抵达,一直满面笑容的阿尔瓦子爵立刻闪身退到了一边,把舞台交给了他们。 Regarding the Fire Demon given name, two Pseudo-Adept, although has placed outside area, early has hearing. Therefore sees Grim suddenly, immediately comes to salute in abundance. 对于火魔的名号,两位准巫虽然一直身处外地,却也早有耳闻。因此骤然见到格力姆,立刻纷纷过来施礼。 Saw that three people are respectful and submissive to oneself, Grim also extinguished has set up the vertical power and prestige the thought that started to ask about the front situation to two Chief Apprentice. 见到三人对自己都还算恭顺,格力姆也就熄了立立威风的念头,开始向两位学徒长询问起前方的情况。 „My there situation is good, the resources point has the apprentice 23 people, the janitor 17 people. These days I the strict order they cannot go out easily, therefore what happened!” Meeting rudeness with a smile that Morse does not live in said: „Sir Grim, your 2 apprentice came to report last month that I have arranged them to the inner courtyard, in the security does not have any issue......” “我那里情况还好,资源点拥有学徒23人,杂役17人。这段时间我已经严令他们不得轻易外出,所以也没有发生什么事情！”摩斯不住的陪着笑脸道:“格力姆大人,您的2位学徒上个月前来报道,我已经把他们安排到内院里面,安全上没有任何问题……” Grim has not spoken, is only to his slightly jaw head. 格力姆没有说话,只是冲他微微颌首。 When first some, in Grim 4 Advanced Level apprentice, 3 had been delivered to here by the family. Therefore in public and in private, Grim can only run this, blessed these with own wing by the bad luck egg of suffering as an innocent bystander. 前些时,格力姆手下的4名高级学徒里,有3个都被家族送到了这里。所以于公于私,格力姆都只能跑这一趟,用自己的羽翼去庇佑这些遭了池鱼之殃的倒霉蛋。 „My there also just came Advanced Level apprentice, has arranged to make ore overseeing. Although this work was more numerous more and diverse, but the security did not have the issue......” Urey also to hurry to explain certainly two, immediately on the face has appeared the hesitant look: „In mine, days before once some people were missing. Although has not looked up any clue, but I suspect......” “我那里也刚来了一名高级学徒,已经安排去做矿石监理。虽然这个工作繁杂了些,可是安全性绝无问题……”尤里也赶紧解释了两句,随即脸上现出了犹豫的神色:“矿场上,前几日曾经有人失踪。虽然没有查到什么线索,可是我怀疑……” „Alva Viscount, you also stayed in Gill city for several years, what unusual character recently can these date and time once present in the nearby?” Beginning Grim newly-arrived, knows nothing about here circumstance, at present all message sources can only depend upon present these three. “阿尔瓦子爵,你在吉尔尼斯城也停留了十几年,最近这些时日可曾在附近出现过什么异常人物吗？”格力姆初初来乍到,对这里的情势一无所知,目前所有的情报来源只能依靠眼前的这三位。 „Sir you also knows that Gill city does not have what nice Adept resources, therefore little will have Lord Adept to stay here. apprentice actually several that however temporarily resides, I have sent for monitoring secretly, does not have what unusual form!” Alva Viscount frowns, 1510 narrated the information that oneself know, sounds as if really not to have what issue. “大人您也知道,吉尔尼斯城并没有什么像样的巫师资源,所以很少会有巫师大人在这里停留。不过暂住的学徒倒是有几个,我已经暗地派人监视了,并没有什么异状！”阿尔瓦子爵皱着眉头,1510的把自己知道的情报都讲述了一遍,听起来似乎真没有什么问题。 „Un, the matter of place you must cooperate. Urey and Morse, manage well own domain respectively, do not ask the enemy to seep. Alva, you must work hard, supervise the sound of good surrounding. Once the slightest sign of trouble appears, immediately reports here information. I live in Stone tower temporarily......” “嗯,地方的事情你们要通力合作。尤里和摩斯,各自管好自己的地盘,不要叫敌人渗透进去。阿尔瓦,你要多下点功夫,监察好外围的动静。一有风吹草动,立刻把情报汇报到我这里。我暂时就住在石塔里面……” „Sir, this Stone tower dozens years has not handled. You looked that went to my castle to rest first on the several th, did I look for people to repair and maintain you to reenter here?” On Alva Viscount face is having the smile of flattering: „Gill city, although is small, but the big or medium aristocrats in city already heard your prestige. They are awaiting respectfully your honorable self at this moment, are you look......” “大人,这座石塔已经几十年没有打理了。您看是不是先去我的城堡里小憩几日,我找人把这里修整一下您再入住？”阿尔瓦子爵脸上带着讨好的微笑:“吉尔尼斯城虽小,可是城里的大小贵族们早已听闻您的威名。他们此刻都在恭候您的大驾,您看是不是……” When spoke of here, on Alva Viscount face floated off is the ambiguous smiling face that men understood. 说到这里时,阿尔瓦子爵脸上浮起了是个男人都懂的暧昧笑容。 „When a entertainment kind of thing puts the situation to be tranquil considers again! Now we need to do only, respectively completes own work, waits to have a look at the change of situation!” Grim has rejected the proposition of opposite party indifferently. “娱乐一类的东西还是放到局势平静时再考虑吧！现在我们唯一需要做的,就是各自做好自己的工作,等着看看局势的变化！”格力姆淡然拒绝了对方的提议。 He can feel, when have rejected the banquet request of Alva Viscount, Spirit somewhat slight fluctuations of two Chief Apprentice. 他能够感觉出来,当自己拒绝了阿尔瓦子爵的宴会请求时,两个学徒长的精神都有些轻微的波动。 As if somewhat disappointed. 似乎是有些失望。 Evidently, in has not guarded in the Adept day, two Chief Apprentice and this city main Sir's relations in private are quite actually close. 看样子,在没有驻守巫师的日子里,两位学徒长和这位城主大人的私下关系倒是颇为密切。 After three people said goodbye, Grim called Sablina and Billy. 等到三人告辞之后,格力姆又把萨布丽娜和比利斯叫了进来。 „Tonight your two find a room to live in a building, sleeps well, is all right do not come out to take a walk!” Then, the Grim frown selects, coldly asked: „Heard clearly?” “今晚你们两个在一楼找个房间住下来,好好睡觉,没事不要出来走动！”说完,格力姆双眉一挑,冷冷问道:“听清了没有？” „Yes, Sir!” “是,大人！” Sablina and Billy hurry to bend down to be. 萨布丽娜和比利斯赶忙俯身应是。 Does not have the reason, their heart one tight, always felt that tonight Tarry will have anything! 没来由的,他们心头一紧,总感觉今天晚上塔里会发生点什么！
