In dark underground, Black Onyx Stone City is very alternative existence. Other underground cities basically are some race independent, for example the duergar city is rules by duergar inevitably, the drow city is drow is the eldest child forever, the Illithid city besides Illithid is a slave. It can be said that in Underdark, each city basically can be equal to an agglomeration of ethnic group. 在幽暗地底,黑玛瑙石城是个很另类的存在。其他的地底城市基本都属于某个种族单独所有,比如灰矮人的城市必然是由灰矮人来统治,黑暗精灵的城市永远都是黑暗精灵做老大,夺心魔的城市除了夺心魔之外都是奴隶。可以说,在幽暗地域,每个城市基本都可以等同于一个族群的聚集地。 However Black Onyx Stone City is different, it by three race joint rules, moreover what is more interesting, these three races come from the surface. They respectively are the Tiefling ethnic group, the Half vampire ancestors as well as Snake-men tribe. Their origins are various, but the fate is the same, that is they are is pursued by the surface for some reasons, really could not mix to run up to Underdark to seek asylum. 但是黑玛瑙石城不同,它是由三个种族联合统治,而且更有趣的是,这三个种族都来自地表。它们分别是泰夫林族群,半吸血鬼族裔以及蛇人部落。它们的来历各不相同,但是下场都是一样的,那就是它们都是因为某种原因被地表驱逐,实在混不下去了才跑到幽暗地域来避难。 However what pitifully is, the underground race in Underdark has not opened to embrace to greet the meanings of these guests warmly, on the contrary, entries of these surface ethnic groups caused the great resentment of underground race, in the initial several years, they encountered Illithid, the multiple attacks of drow as well as duergar. Among the underground races also mutually is unpleasing to the eyes, the pitiful creature who no unified alliance, perhaps these surfaces come was finished. 不过可惜的是,幽暗地域里的地底种族可没有张开怀抱来热情迎接这些客人的意思,相反,这些地表族群的进入引起了地底种族的极大反感,在最初的几年里,它们遭遇到了夺心魔,黑暗精灵以及灰矮人的多次进攻。要不是地底种族之间也互相看不顺眼,没有一个统一的联盟,恐怕这些地表来的可怜虫就完蛋了。 However can escape to here is not the ordinary person, saw that the matter is not wonderful, this three parties join up finally, established an alliance, and is based on this constructed a city, that is Black Onyx Stone City. 不过能够逃到这里的也并非等闲之辈,眼看事情不妙,这三方最终联合起来,成立了一个联盟,并且以此为基础建造了一座城市,那就是黑玛瑙石城。 Until now, the Black Onyx Stone City strength is strong, because defeated the attack of underground race continually several times, their prestige also gradually stand erect. After having a thorough understanding of the underground rule, Black Onyx Stone City displayed the intense militant tendency, what attack no matter encountered, they will throw to bite like the mad dog do not put. 时至今日,黑玛瑙石城的力量已经非常强大,由于连番数次击败了地底种族的进攻,他们的威望也逐渐竖立起来。在吃透了地底的规则之后,黑玛瑙石城表现出了激烈的好战倾向,不管是遭遇到什么样的进攻,它们都会像疯狗一样扑上去咬住不放。 This is quite intelligent means that after all among the underground races is also who refuses to accept anyone, which side if there is bitten because of counter-attack of Black Onyx Stone City, thus causes other two sides to obtain without labor fisherman's profit, that may be a joke. 这是个相当聪明的办法,毕竟地底种族之间也是谁都不服谁,如果有哪一方因为黑玛瑙石城的反扑而被咬伤,从而导致其他两方坐收渔翁之利的话,那可就是个笑话了。 Under this subtle balance, Black Onyx Stone City developed gradually. 在这种微妙的平衡之下,黑玛瑙石城渐渐发展了起来。 However now, they also welcomed the new trouble. 但是现在,他们又迎来了新的麻烦。 „ Another caravan has not arrived in Black Onyx Stone City on time, this is the fifth caravan. & R dquo ; “又一只商队没有按时抵达黑玛瑙石城,这已经是第五只商队了。” Devo Dudenson abandons the record in hand, that pair of golden yellow, just like the lizard eye wicked is looking steadily at the present meeting hall, must select the person to bite simply probably to be the same. Two long sharp corners/horns from the sky howled along with the movement of Tiefling person were exuding the sound, seems representative his anger. 迪沃.杜登笙扔下手中的记录,那双金黄色,犹如蜥蜴般的眼睛恶狠狠的盯视着眼前的会议大厅,简直就好像要择人而噬一样。两只长长的尖角伴随着泰夫林人的动作在空中呼啸着发出了响声,仿佛是在代表他的愤怒。 „ When do we also want to wait till?! Everyone! Can we starve to death by ourselves while still alive? & R dquo ; “我们还要等到什么时候？！各位！难道我们要让自己活活饿死吗？” „ Do be not so anxious, Devo, the situation is serious, we more must carefully handle affairs. & R dquo ; “不要那么紧张,迪沃,事态越是严重,我们就越要谨慎行事。” Unlike the violent anger Tiefling person, Eliette still brings graceful smile calm and steady sitting on the chair, in the hand takes is rocking, as if a wine-tasting Grandmaster who one glass of bright red wines are not living. However although his words saying is very relaxed, but that bright red eye actually straight is looking steadily at another side shadow. 与暴怒的泰夫林人不同,伊莱特依然带着优雅的笑容安稳的坐在椅子上,手中拿着一杯鲜红的葡萄酒不住的晃动着,仿佛一位品酒大师。不过虽然他的话说的很轻松,但是那双鲜红的眼睛却是笔直的盯视着另外一侧的黑影。 „ Makes me listen, our Snake man friends have what view. The patrol leaders should come back, Russ? & R dquo ; “让我来听听,我们的蛇人朋友有什么说法。巡逻队应该已经回来了吧,拉斯？” „ Naturally. & R dquo ; “当然。” In the Half vampire opposite, Snake man nods. His upper part and strong human are no different, but below the waist actually is completely the sturdy huge python shape. But in addition, whole body is covering the white scale also makes him seem like exceptionally conspicuous & mda S h ; & mda S h ; & mda S h ; Do not say that sparkling was bald. 在半吸血鬼的对面,一个蛇人点了点头。他上半身和健硕的人类没有任何不同,但是腰部以下却完全是粗壮巨大的蟒蛇形态。而除此之外,全身上下覆盖着的白色鳞片也让他看起来异常显眼———就更不要说那个闪闪发光的光头了。 „ According to the report that the patrol leader transmits, they had discovered these caravan residual traces, at least from the present, these caravans seemed like attacked by bandit. & R dquo ; “根据巡逻队传来的报告,他们已经发现了那些商队残留的痕迹,至少从现在来看,这些商队似乎是遭到了匪盗的袭击。” „ Bandit? & R dquo ; “匪盗？” Hears here, the expression of two immediately becomes splendid. 听到这里,其他两人的表情顿时变得精彩起来。 „ Right, the underground lizard that transports the cargo is missing completely, but was basically killed including guard everyone. Although not clear specific number, but seems like the opposite party not to leave behind the living witness. But according to the trail, these underground lizards was driven away leaves. & R dquo ; “没错,运送货物的地底蜥蜴全部失踪,而包括守卫在内的所有人基本都被杀死。虽然不清楚具体人数,但是看起来对方并没有留下活口。而根据踪迹来看,那些地底蜥蜴则是被驱赶离开的。” Said here, Russ looked at an expression of two. 说道这里,拉斯望了一眼其他两人的表情。 „ Not only that the patrol leader also discovered that has the trace that the magic remains at the scene, according to the estimate of the situation, these caravans is under the magic attack of opposite party when the camping, was killed because of the confusion. However what pitifully is, because the corpse had been worried by the underground wild animal, suddenly is unable to confirm how they were killed. & R dquo ; “不仅如此,巡逻队还发现在现场有魔法残留下来的痕迹,根据情况判断来看,这些商队都是在宿营时遭遇到对方的魔法攻击,然后因为混乱而被杀死的。不过可惜的是,因为尸体都被地底野兽撕咬过,一时间也无法确认他们是怎么被杀死的。” „ Is drow? & R dquo ; “难道是黑暗精灵？” Devo stresses own sharp corner/horn, frowns to raise own question. He said that also has the truth, Illithid controls with the mind, if this matter is they do, then these caravans do not need to revolt, will put in an appearance will turn into the Illithid most faithful slave. 迪沃抓了抓自己的尖角,皱起眉头提出了自己的疑问。他这么说也不是没有道理,夺心魔是用心灵控制的,如果这件事是他们做的,那么那些商队根本就不需要反抗,一个照面就会变成夺心魔最忠实的奴隶了。 But duergar is fierce, but is well-known their Magic Resistance physicals is these duergar is unable to study the biggest hindrance of magic, as the matter stands, only and they have a grudge, moreover can use the magic, only then that crowd of black skin elves. But ............... 而灰矮人虽然勇猛,但是众所周知他们的抗魔体质是这些灰矮人无法学习魔法的最大阻碍,这样一来,唯一和他们有仇,而且又能够使用魔法的只有那群黑皮精灵了。可是…………… „ Nearby us may not have the drow city . Moreover the underground caravan protects strict, only several drow simply not possibly complete killing that their does not keep. Moreover according to the character of that crowd of black skins, they will not violate the danger by the body, what are more is assembles their slave cannon fodders to be right. But ............... & R dquo ; “我们附近可没有黑暗精灵的城市,而且地底商队防护严密,区区几个黑暗精灵根本没可能将他们一个不留的全部干掉。而且依照那群黑皮的性格,他们才不会以身犯险,更多的是调集他们的奴隶炮灰才对。可是……………” Said here, Devo looked to Half vampire, but detected that the Devo vision, Eliette shakes the head. 说道这里,迪沃望向身边的半吸血鬼,而察觉到迪沃的目光,伊莱特摇了摇头。 „ Recently had not received to transfer the information of slave about the drow family massively. & R dquo ; “最近没有收到有关于黑暗精灵家族大规模调动奴隶的情报。” This may be interesting, is not Illithid, is not duergar, drow does not have the enough plenty of motive and reason handles this doing a thankless job matter, who is that does? 这可有趣了,不是夺心魔,也不是灰矮人,黑暗精灵也没足够充分的动机和理由做这种吃力不讨好的事情,那是谁干的？ „ No matter who dry/does, we must give them a lesson!! & R dquo ; “不管是谁干的,我们都要给他们一个教训！！” Regarding Devo these words, the two also expressed the support. Although does not know that is who does, but this approach obviously tempered the Black Onyx Stone City strength. If the caravan does not come to trade with them, then the survival of Black Onyx Stone City was a problem very much. Once they decline, then Illithid, duergar and drow will definitely also go to enter again. By that time, regarding Black Onyx Stone City, but was the crisis of life and death. 对于迪沃这句话,其他两人也表示赞同。虽然不知道是谁干的,但是这种做法明显削弱了黑玛瑙石城的力量。如果商队不来和他们交易的话,那么黑玛瑙石城的生存就很成问题了。一旦他们衰落,那么夺心魔,灰矮人和黑暗精灵肯定还会再次趁虚而入。到那个时候,对于黑玛瑙石城来说,可就是生死存亡的危机了。 „ We had investigated the source of trace, is not too far from us. & R dquo ; “我们已经探查了痕迹的源头,距离我们并不算太远。” This moment Snake man Russ is also brandishing the both arms, having the gloomy and cold look to say. 此刻蛇人拉斯也挥舞着双臂,带着阴冷的眼神开口说道。 „ I suggested, we should organize one team of elite forces, discovers these to dare to attack the bastard of caravan, gives them a lesson! Let them know, our Black Onyx Stone City is not affable!! & R dquo ; “我建议,我们应该组织一队精兵强将,去找出那些胆敢袭击商队的混蛋,给他们一个教训！让他们知道,我们黑玛瑙石城可不是好惹的！！” After the Russ voice falls, in the conference room falls into a strange peace immediately. Present is not the average person, these belts the ethnic group is escaping from the surface to encircle, the leaders who arrive at the underground life are not a fool. They do this very much clearly will cause what consequence. Can be possible not to have one in the caravan that Underdark walks is the fuel-efficient lamp, here may want the dangerous compared with the surface many. Besides these underground cities, the caravan walks most of the time in the desolate and uninhabited said/tunnel, probably meets the fearful wild animal momentarily. 拉斯话音落下之后,会议室里立刻陷入了一阵诡异的安静之中。在座的都不是普通人,这些带着自己族群逃出了地表围剿,来到地底生活的领导者都不是傻瓜。他们很清楚这样做会带来什么后果。要知道,能够在幽暗地域行走的商队可没有一个是省油的灯,这里可比地表要危险的多。除了那些地底城市之外,商队大多时候都走在荒无人烟的地道里,随时都可能遇到可怕的野兽。 Also because of this, guard of underground caravan is always very strict, its elite degree is as good as an army. However in this case, the connection has five caravan destruction. The strength of opposite party can be imagined strongly. Also because of this, Black Onyx Stone City cannot send several patrol leaders to look for trouble casually. 也正因为如此,地底商队的守卫向来都很严密,其精锐程度也不亚于一只军队。但是在这种情况下,却连接有五只商队覆灭。对方的实力之强劲可想而知。也正因为如此,黑玛瑙石城这边就不能够随随便便派遣几只巡逻队去找麻烦。 Only then congeals the most powerful strength, strikes fatally, can produce the best results. This regarding Black Onyx Stone City is also a good deed, if succeeds, is equal to formally announcing that Black Onyx Stone City is other these small and weak underground cities cannot compare in the influence and control of northern land. 只有凝结起最强大的力量,一击致命,才能够产生最好的效果。这对于黑玛瑙石城来说也是件好事,因为如果成功的话,就等于正式宣告黑玛瑙石城在北地的影响和掌控力是其他那些弱小的地底城市所不能够比拟的。 However in turn, this also has side of danger. 但是反过来,这也有危险的一面。 If the influence of opposite party over estimated, can escape fortunately, if annihilated, may be the vitality damages severely regarding Black Onyx Stone City. They settle down here also for short dozens years, accumulates from the strength was inferior deep that these dark underground races come, if lost the sharpest member again, then Black Onyx Stone City allowed to be oppressed is only the time issue. 假如对方的势力超过预计,能够逃回来还好,万一全军覆没的话,对于黑玛瑙石城来说可就是元气大伤。他们在这里定居也不过短短数十年,从力量积累上来说原本就不如那些幽暗地底的种族来的深厚,如果再失去了最精锐的成员,那么黑玛瑙石城任人宰割就只是时间问题了。 But despite that they must do, connect five caravans to be attacked. If Black Onyx Stone City does not make anything to express that solves this problem, perhaps later will not have the caravan and Black Onyx Stone City conducts to trade, but in that case, their destinies have also been doomed similarly. 但是即便如此,他们也必须去做,连接五只商队遭到袭击。如果黑玛瑙石城再不做出什么表示来解决这个问题,恐怕以后就再也不会有商队和黑玛瑙石城进行交易了,而那样一来,他们的命运同样也已经注定。 „ Thump!! & R dquo ; “咚！！” The Tiefling person numerous fist pounds on the table, he bites the jaw, the silent moment, then made the decision. 泰夫林人重重一拳砸在桌上,他咬住牙关,沉默片刻,接着做出了决定。 „ Defers, this time that Russ said that must give these bastard grateful lessons! Let them know fierce of our Black Onyx Stone City!! If our time does not make anything to express, later the city will become this northern land biggest laughingstock! This matter does not allow to happen absolutely! & R dquo ; “就按照拉斯所说的,这次,一定要给那些混蛋一个刻骨铭心的教训！让他们知道我们黑玛瑙石城的厉害！！如果我们这次再不做出什么表示的话,以后我们的城市就会成为这北地最大的笑柄了！这种事情绝对不允许发生！” „, Decided. & R dquo ; “那么,就这么决定了。” Drinks up the good wine in cup, Eliette standing up slowly, although his expression that faint, but each people who are familiar with this Half vampire are very clear, once he makes this movement, was equal to that has made the choice that was unable to change. For all that but next moment, the words that Eliette spoke, stemmed from everyone's unexpected. 喝完杯中的美酒,伊莱特缓缓的站起身来,虽然他的表情还是那么的淡漠,但是每个熟悉这个半吸血鬼的人都很清楚,一旦他做出这个动作,就等于已经做出了无法改变的选择。虽然如此,但是下一刻,伊莱特所说的话,还是出乎了所有人的意料之外。 „ To provide against contingencies, I will send Li together. & R dquo ; “为了以防万一,我会派遣莉一同前往的。” „ What? & R dquo ; “什么？” Hears here, Devo and Russ cannot help but stares the big eye, cannot believe is looking at present Half vampire. Although they indeed have completed preparation that put in the great sacrifice, but never expected that Eliette will present this candidate unexpectedly! 听到这里,迪沃和拉斯都不由自主的瞪大眼睛,不敢相信的望着眼前的半吸血鬼。虽然他们的确已经做好了付出巨大牺牲的准备,可是没想到伊莱特居然会提出这个人选！ ; ;
