Manyyearslater, perhapssomepeoplewill rememberthatremoteafternoon, on the Dark Mist Townavenue, shyimmatureScavengertravel-worn.
许多年以后,也许有人会想起那个遥远的下午,在暗雾镇的大街上,一名青涩稚嫩的拾荒者风尘仆仆而来。——thatis a youngster.——那是一名少年。Hiswhole bodyyellow sand, seeminglyis onlymore than ten years old, the strengthis mean, the statusis lowly, the facial expressionis disturbed.
他满身黄沙,看上去只有十几岁,实力低微,身份卑贱,神情忐忑。Iftradesto makeothertimes, someinevitablypeoplego forwardto interrogate, gather the cargo in hishand.
如果换做其他时候,必然有人上前盘问,收取他手中的货物。Buttoday, inthissunsinisterafternoon, justdivergedsoontimein the sand storm, soonwill approachbeforehand——at the night
但在今天,在这个日头毒辣的下午,在沙尘暴刚刚散去不久的时刻,在黑夜即将来临之前——Everyone'sthoughtswill not placeyoungScavengerbody.
大家的心思根本就不会放在一个年幼的拾荒者身上。After all.
毕竟。EntersWorld of Death, even ifcleans scraps, is still the extremelydangerouswork.
进入死亡世界,就算是去拾荒,也是极其危险的工作。Thisyoungstercanalivecome backis an extremelyluckymatter.
这个少年能活着回来是一件极其幸运的事。Harvest?
收获?Withoutstrength, whatharvest can also obtain.
没有实力,又能得到什么样的收获。
The youngsterwithhistheseharvests, perhapsare some trash of being able to amount to something.
少年跟他的那些收获,说不定都是一些上不得台面的垃圾。No onerespondsthisimmatureScavenger.
没有人搭理这名稚嫩的拾荒者。Scavengerhasto walkaround the town, will constructone after anotherto bear in mind.拾荒者只好绕着镇子走了一圈,将许多建筑一一记在心里。Thistownas ifundergoesafter the catastrophe, manyhousescollapsed, butpeopleas ifregarding thisanddo not care, whateverthesehousesare maintaining the appearance of collapsing.
这个镇子仿佛历经过浩劫,许多房屋都倒塌了,但人们似乎对此并不在意,任由那些房屋保持着坍塌的样子。Inentiretown/subdues, only thenfewplacesconstructto open the door, somepeopledefendin the entrance, shows the normal operation.
整个镇上,只有寥寥几处建筑开着门,有人守在门口,以示正常运转。Scavengerstops the footstepsfinally.拾荒者最终停下脚步。Hebiggestthathouseadvance partyin the town/subduesdecides.
他在镇上最大的那栋房子前站定。——thisis a bar.——这是一座酒吧。YoungsterScavengerlooked at the time.
少年拾荒者看了看时间。Justquarter of an hour.
刚好一刻钟。„A Man Without a Role”finished.
“一个没有戏份的人”结束。
The youngsterpush the doorto walk.
少年推门走进去。Somepeoplekeep offbeforehimasked: „Status?”
有人挡在他面前问:“身份?”„Scavenger.” The youngstersaid.
“拾荒者。”少年道。Thatpersonhesitated, made way the position.
那人迟疑了下,还是让开了位置。Passing through the gate.
一进门。Manypeoplesawhim.
很多人都看见了他。„IsexternalScavenger.”
“是个外来的拾荒者。”„bodyhad the deathflavor, perhapswasjustcame backfromWorld of Death.”
“身上有死亡的味道,恐怕是刚从死亡世界回来。”„Ageis so small, daresto go toWorld of Deathto try one's luck, seeming likedoes not have stage fright...... Ito thinkbut is actually the expert.”
“年纪这么小,就敢去死亡世界碰运气,看上去也不怯场……我倒觉得是老手。”At this time, the thought of peoplewas also different.
这时候,人们的念头又不一样了。——thisyoungster, the strengthis so meandaresto go toWorld of Death, but can also alivecome back, perhapsa littleskill.——这个少年,实力如此低微就敢去死亡世界,还能活着回来,兴许有点本事。Then——
那么——Hisharvestperhaps......
他的收获也许……Behind the bar, bartendershoutstowardLiu Ping: „Scavenger?”
吧台后面,一名酒保朝柳平喊道:“拾荒者?”„Yes.”Liu Pingcomplied withone, arrives at the baradvance partyto decide.
“是。”柳平答应了一声,走到吧台前站定。„Recentlyharvestedhow?”bartenderasked.
“最近收获怎样?”酒保问。„Alsobecomes.”Liu Pingsaid.
“还成。”柳平道。„You, sinceunderstandsto come tohere, whatthinksdelivery point?”
“你既然懂得来这里,是想交换点什么?”„Iwant an officialstatus.”
“我想要一个正式的身份。”„Status!”
“身份!”Severalpeople who wantto chitchatstops the footsteps, turns aroundto return to the ownpositionto come up.
几名想要上来攀谈的人停下脚步,转身回到自己的位置上去。bartenderis staring at the eye of Liu Ping, slowlysaid: „Right? Youseeminglyare onlymore than ten years old , in the wildernessis your wants the person who everywheregoes toWorld of Deathto try one's luck, most of themdegenerated into the monstergrain, butyouactuallythink that oneselfcanobtain an officialstatus?”酒保盯着柳平的眼睛,慢慢说道:“是吗?你看上去只有十几岁,要知道,荒野上到处都是你这样想去死亡世界碰运气的人,他们大多数都沦为了怪物的粮食,而你却认为自己能得到一个正式的身份?”„Likesuch that you said that whatwas differentfromotherScavenger, Icame backsafely.”Liu Pingis saying, the eyeandbartenderlooking at each other, has not made concessions.
“就像你说的那样,跟其他拾荒者不同的是,我安全回来了。”柳平说着,眼睛和酒保对视,没有丝毫退让。bartenderis pursing the lips, suddenlysomedo not know that from wherementioned.酒保抿着嘴,忽然有些不知从何说起。Thisboywas quiet.
这小子过于平静了。Thistypewent beyondhisoriginalagecategorytranquilly, cannotinstall.
这种平静超出了他原本的年龄范畴,根本不是能装出来的。bartendercanbecomebartender, thenlies inhehas the treat a person according to his social standingskill, almostnevermakes a mistake.酒保之所以能成为一名酒保,便在于他拥有看人下菜的本事,几乎从不出错。Slightlyonehesitant, bartenderinthickonepack of playing cardpulled outonefrom the bar, lowers the headto cast a sidelong glance.
略一犹豫,酒保从吧台下方厚厚的一叠卡牌之中抽了一张,低头瞟了一眼。Sees onlyonthiscardto draw the duskydense fog, face of innumerabledistortionsearchfrom the dense fog,
只见这张卡牌上画着灰蒙蒙的迷雾,无数张扭曲的面孔从迷雾之中探出来,simultaneouslygathersintogetherDarkformall around. Whenbartenderlookstothiscard, on the signthesedense and numerousfacehave then turned head, observes closelybartendertogether.齐齐聚拢在一道黑暗的身影四周。当酒保望向这张牌,牌上那些密密麻麻的面孔便扭过头,一起盯住酒保。——cannot think that isthiscard.——想不到是这张牌。Thiscardis„the luck of Dark” , indicating that thisperson is quite at present valuable, suits the reception.
这张牌是“黑暗的幸运”,表明眼前这人相当有价值,适合接待。bartendershows the happy expression: „After enteringDark Mist Town, youwalked the quarter of an hourno oneto feel embarrassedyou outside alone, nowenters the barsafely, arrived atmyfrontto propose that requested——to look likeyouto prepare.”酒保露出笑意道:“进入暗雾镇之后,你独自在外面走了一刻钟都没有人为难你,现在又安然走进酒吧,来到我的面前提出要求——看来你早就准备好了。”„Pleasecontinue.”Liu Pingsaid.
“请继续说下去。”柳平道。„Hereis not quite convenient, comeswithme.”bartendermade the posture of invitation.
“这里不太方便,跟我来。”酒保做了个请的姿势。HebroughtLiu Pingto enterbehindin the barroom.
他带着柳平走进了酒吧后面的房间里。
The gatecloses.
门关上。bartendersits downbefore a spaciouswooden table, said:酒保在一张宽大的木桌前坐下,说道:„machinesaid that youcome fromOrchid Valley——as far as I know, therealreadywas swallowedbyEvernightthoroughly, suchmatterin the wildernesshasdaily, youbestforgetthesematters, sadwill only makeyoulose one's life.”
“机器说你来自兰草谷——据我所知,那里已经被永夜彻底吞噬,不过在荒野上这样的事天天都有,你最好忘记这些事,悲伤只会让你送命。”Liu Pingsmiles, said: „Do youlook atIlikelysadappearance?”柳平笑起来,说:“你看我像悲伤的样子吗?”bartendersmiles, saidin a soft voice: „YourOrchid Valleydestructioninswallowing of Dark , from the map, road that simplyhas not escaped, thereforeyouwent toWorld of Death, butyour——”酒保笑了笑,轻声道:“你们兰草谷覆灭于黑暗的吞噬,从地图上看,根本没有逃生的路,所以你们都去了死亡世界,而你——”„Younot onlylived, but alsoinWorld of Deathluckymade a smallwealth, found the road of coming back, wantsto obtain an officialstatusfromDark Mist Town, Isaidcanhave the mistake?”
“你不但活了下来,还在死亡世界里幸运的发了点小财,找到了回来的路,想从暗雾镇得到一个正式的身份,我说的可有错?”„Howyoucanknowsoclear?”Liu Pingasked.
“你怎会知道的如此清楚?”柳平问。bartenderbynaturaltone said: „The corrosion that Evernightneverstands stillall, itis swallowing the World of Livingland and life, butourDark Mist Townis the surrounding areainhundreds of thousands ofsquare kilometers the onlyvitalityis, youonly thena little mind, knowhowslightlyshoulddo.”酒保以一种理所当然的语气道:“永夜从不停歇的侵蚀着一切,它吞噬生界的土地和生命,而我们暗雾镇是方圆数十万平方公里内唯一的生机所在,你只有稍有点头脑,就知道该怎么做。”„It seems likeyouhave receivedmanypeople like me.”Liu Pingsaid.
“看来你接待过很多我这样的人。”柳平道。„——butyouareyoungest.”bartenderis saying, unfolded a arrange/clothon the desktop.
“——但你是最年轻的。”酒保说着,在桌面上铺开了一层布。Hepoints atthatto spread out, said: „Ok, makesmehave a look atyouto haveanythingnow, relax, hereallwill handle mattersaccording to the custom.”
他指着那张布,说道:“好了,现在让我看看你都有什么,放心,这里一切都会按照规矩办事。”Liu PingpatsStorage Bag, is placed the portablemini submachine gun and pure goldlanceon the table.柳平一拍储物袋,将便携式微型冲锋枪和赤金长矛摆在桌子上。„These can only change money, wantsto be usedto receive in exchange for the officialstatus, insufficiently.”bartendershakes the headto say.
“这些只能换点钱,想用来换取正式身份,不够。”酒保摇头道。Liu PingtakesSpirit Hound Talisman, placesside of submachine gun.柳平将灵犬符拿出来,放在冲锋枪的旁边。bartenderlooked atone, said: „talismantrulyisthing that World of Deathis in sole possession, buton your talismanstained the bloodstain, the qualitymustsell at a discount......”酒保看了一眼,说道:“符箓确实是死亡世界独有的东西,但你这张符上沾满了血迹,品质要打个折扣……”bartenderreceived the symbol, slightlyonehesitant, pulls out a metalcardto putfrom the bosomon the table.酒保收了符,略一犹豫,从怀里掏出一张金属卡片摆在桌上。Liu Pinglookstothatcard, sees onlyon the cardto carve a rustyminerhoe.柳平望向那卡片,只见卡片上刻着一把生锈的矿工锄。bartenderexplained: „talismanis a hugesystem, will obtaineachtalisman that to helpusfurtherfromWorld of Deathunderstand that talismansecret——will lookinthistalismanvalue, youcankeepDark Mist Townto be a miner.”酒保解释道:“符箓是一个庞大的体系,从死亡世界得到的每一张符箓都会帮助我们进一步了解符箓的秘密——看在这张符箓的价值上,你可以留在暗雾镇做一名矿工。”Liu Pingis startled.柳平微怔。Amongthis instant, heunderstooda lot.这一瞬间,他明白了很多事情。Hong Tao and Zhao Chanyidefinitelyhas the profound understanding of World of Living.洪涛和赵婵衣肯定对活人的世界有着深刻了解。Theybringoneselfto clean scraps, has also urgedatstatusmatterspecially, butregardingbeing usedto exchange the statusthing, has not saidanything.
他们带着自己去拾荒,在身份这件事上也特意有所叮嘱,但对于用来交换身份的东西,却没多说什么。Then......
那么……oneselfputs outthatthing, shouldbe safe.自己拿出那个东西,应该是安全的。„Actually the thing of myalsoharvest.”
“其实我还有一件收获之物。”Liu Pingis saying, received the goldenlance and submachine gun, takes the Unicorn Saddlestatue, is placedon the table.柳平说着,把黄金长矛和冲锋枪收了回去,将独角马坐骑的雕像取出来,摆在桌子上。Thisstatuejustplacedon the table, on the bartenderbackwallsends out a lightsoundimmediately.
这雕像刚放在桌子上,酒保背后的墙上顿时发出一声轻响。
The sound of mechanizationconveysfrom the walltogether:
一道机械化的声音从墙后面传来:„According to the magic-typecivilizationstandard, thisitemrankreaches the excellentlevel, is recording.”
“按照魔法侧文明标准,此物品等级达到精良级,正在进行记录。”„Materialhas uploaded.”
“资料已上传。”„Contrasttallies, through the confirmation, confirmed that thisis a business that is worthtrading.”
“对比吻合,通过验证,确认这是一笔值得交易的生意。”„No. 03687reception clerk, pleaseaccording torulereward the contributor, finished.”
“03687号接待员,请按照规则对贡献者进行奖励,完毕。”bartenderfacial expressiononecold, stood the body, explainedtowardLiu Ping: „ThisisMagic Mount...... itisveryrarething, anotheralreadyfromWorld of Death that collapses, has the researchvalue.”酒保神情一凛,站直了身子,朝柳平解释道:“这是魔法坐骑……它是很少见的东西,来自另一个已经崩溃的死亡世界,极具研究价值。”„——, sinceyoucanfindsorarething, then the statusnaturallydoes not stopinonlyminer.”
“——既然你能找到如此稀有的东西,那么身份自然不止于区区一个矿工。”bartenderfishes outthreemetalcardsfrom the bosom, placesin front ofLiu Ping.酒保从怀里摸出三张金属卡片,放在柳平面前。Onfirstcardengraves a worn-outbrownwhip, as well as a pair of wrinkledleather glove.
第一张卡片上刻印着一根破旧的棕色鞭子,以及一双皱巴巴的皮手套。Onsecondcardis a flare, a pair of daggerandbowcrossbow.
第二张卡片上则是一根火把,一对匕首和弓弩。pattern on thirdcardis relatively simple, isoneset of simplearmor and lance.
第三张卡片上的图案相对简单,是一套简易盔甲和长矛。„Mine tunnelsupervisor, Night KeeperandTown Guard, thisisthreeofficialprofession that youcanexchange, pleaseChoice One.”bartendersaid.
“矿洞监工、守夜人、镇卫兵,这是你可以交换的三个正式职业,请从中选择一个。”酒保道。Hefurtherexplained: „Eachprofessionhas the cultivating method of correspondence, will teachyourrelatedbasicskill, has the power and pay of correspondence, was shelteredbyDark Mist Townin the wilderness.”
他进一步解释道:“每个职业都有对应的培养方法,会教给你相关的基本技能,有对应的权力和薪酬,在荒野上受暗雾镇庇护。”„——is natural, ifyoucanreachcertainstandard, but can also promotetowardon.”
“——当然,你如果能达到一定标准,还能朝上晋升。”Liu Pingtakes outthatgoldenlance, placesonfronttablegently.柳平取出那根黄金长矛,轻轻放在面前的桌子上。„Thisgivesyou.”Hesaid.
“这是给你的。”他说道。bartendershakes the headto sayhastily: „Youdo not needto bribeme, Ialso can only handle affairsaccording torule, not possibleto giveyouofficialprofession outside rule.”酒保连忙摇头道:“你不必贿赂我,我也只能按照规则行事,不可能把规则之外的正式职业给你。”Liu Pingpushes the goldenlanceto the opposite partyin front ofgently, said: „Relax, Ido not haveotherrequest, butchoosesprofessionregarding my newbie, is an importantlifeimportant matter, thereforeIwantto listen to a more carefulintroduction.”柳平将黄金长矛轻轻推至对方面前,说:“放心,我没有别的要求,只不过选职业对于我这种新人来说,是一件至关重要的人生大事,所以我想听听更加细致的介绍。”Under the gloomylight, on the goldenlancesends outlayer upon layer the ray, sprinkleson the bartenderfacegently, makinginhisfacial expressionmanyonepoint of gentleness.
暗淡灯光下,黄金长矛上散发出层层光芒,轻轻洒在酒保脸上,让他的神情之中多了一分柔和。bartendersmiled, said: „Foreachnewbie that joinsDark Mist Townprovidesprofessionto illustrate,ismylabor of duty, ismyresponsibility.”酒保笑了起来,说道:“为每一个加入暗雾镇的新人提供职业解说,是我的本职工作,也是我的责任。”„Such being the case, Isay——in detail”
“既然如此,我就详细说一说——”Heput out a handto selectonthreecardin turn, said: „Supervises workto defend the mine, every daysupervises the minersto mine, inspects the mineral aggregate, is quite laborious, butin the handis puissant, canmanageallminers;”
他伸手在三张卡片上依次点了点,说:“监工守着矿山,每天监督矿工们挖矿,检查矿料,较为辛苦,但手中有权力,可以管所有矿工;”„Night Keeperis most dangerousinthreeprofession, but the incomeis highest, needscertainstrengthto be competent;”
“守夜人在三个职业中最危险,但收益最高,需要一定实力才可以胜任;”„Ifyouwantto stayinDark Mist Town, thatchoosesTown Guard, the Dark Mist Towninternalpublic security and orderis responsible forbyTown Guard, there is a fighttime, butnoware getting fewer and fewer, the village and foothold that after allEvernightswallowsare getting more and more, in the last several monthsarrived inourDark Mist Townpersonalmostto vanish.”
“如果你想一直呆在暗雾镇的话,那就选镇卫兵,暗雾镇内部的治安和秩序由镇卫兵负责,也有战斗的时候,但现在越来越少,毕竟永夜吞噬的村庄和据点越来越多,最近几个月抵达我们暗雾镇的人几乎绝迹。”„Youare young, Isuggested that youbecome a Dark Mist Townguard, in this case, youonlygo on patrolwith the daytimeevery day, at nightdoes not needto go out, is safe.”
“你还年轻,我建议你成为一名暗雾镇的卫兵,这样的话,你每天只用白天巡逻,夜晚则不必外出,非常安全。”„, Night Keeper......”Liu Pinghesitatednot to say.
“那么,守夜人……”柳平迟疑着没有说下去。——anythingdoes not know,bestormakes the opposite partysay, after allalreadypays money.——什么都不知道,最好还是让对方说,毕竟已经付了钱。bartender has the explanation of patience: „Wheneverarrivesat night, when World of Deathwithourworldsuperpositions, at this timewas responsible fordefendingDark Mist TownbyNight Keeper, Night Keepermust the earliest possible timeparticipate infight——coping withthesemonster, evenmustdeal withConcealed Time and Space, tilldawn.”酒保颇有耐心的解释道:“每当夜晚降临,死亡世界跟我们的世界重合之际,这种时候就由守夜人负责保卫暗雾镇,守夜人必须第一时间参与战斗——对付那些怪物,甚至要应对隐藏时空,直到天亮为止。”„Canprotect the entiresmall town?”Liu Pingasked.
“必须保护整个小镇?”柳平问。„At leastprotects the bar, the barisissued that the newsandmakes the transaction the place, but alsostops over the restinthis, providessupply;Ifthisplacewere destroyedbymonster, then the small towndid not have the significance of existence.”bartendersaid.
“至少保护住酒吧,酒吧是发布消息和做交易的地方,还供人在此落脚休息,提供补给;如果这个地方被怪物毁了,那么小镇也就没有了存在的意义。”酒保道。Liu Pingfalls into the thinking.柳平陷入思索。InWorld of Deathonlyhas the night, neversees the daytime.死亡世界之中唯有黑夜,从来不见白昼。Concealed Time and Space......隐藏时空……Liu Pingshakes the headslightly.柳平微微摇头。——, thatis notCultivation World!——不,那是修行世界!Thatisourworld.
那是我们的世界。Whyto turn into a part of World of Deathit?
凭什么把它变成死亡世界的一部分?Ifelectsto supervise workorTown Guard, perhapsdoes not have the opportunityto exploreConcealed Time and Space in World of Deathagain.
如果选监工或镇卫兵,恐怕就再没机会探索死亡世界中的隐藏时空。Then,
那么,Choosingalreadyis very explicit.
选择已经很明确。Liu Pingextend the hand, selectedonefromthreemetalcards, spreads outin the palm.柳平伸出手,从三张金属卡片中挑了一张,摊开在手掌中。Whenhedoes this, placedthatMagic Mountstatue on tableto disappear——
当他这样做的时候,原本放在桌上的那个魔法坐骑雕像不见了——Looking like taken awayto be the same bywhatthingsuddenly.
就像是突然被什么东西拿走了一样。bartendersawthis, the facial expressionbecomeswith deep veneration.酒保见了这一幕,神情变得肃然。Hesaidin an officialtone:
他以一种正式的语气说道:„Welcometo joinDark Mist Town.”
“欢迎加入暗雾镇。”
