The time passes fast. 时间飞快流逝。 The campaign in Longyao City Huaming District seems several years ago things generally, degenerating into only loved to talk about topic gradually. 发生在陇曜市华明区里的战役仿佛已经是好几年前的事情了一般,渐渐的沦为只被津津乐道的话题。 Is relying on the support of alchemy technique/technology, once degenerated into battlefield Huaming District to be reconstructed now. 凭借着炼金技术的支持,曾经沦为战场的华明区如今已经被重建了起来。 only, here no longer was the past residential area, but was divided for the military heavily, cannot the miscellaneous personnel casual turnover. 只是,这里不再是过去的居住区,而是被划分为了军事重地,不许闲杂人等随便进出。 Especially area Spirit Demon Prison entrance, not only completed the military heavily, surroundings also research facilities, some as if people are aiming by the Spirit Demon Prison entrance of seal are made anything to study. 尤其是灵魔狱入口一带,不仅建成了军事重地,周围还有着一座座的研究设施,似乎有人在针对被封印的灵魔狱入口做着什么研究。 But these are not the matter of common people care, thus degenerates into the loved to talk about topic similarly, has not caused the big reaction. 但这些不是平民百姓该关心的事情,因而同样沦为被津津乐道的话题,没引起多大的反响。 Longyao City then such as so, as if gradually restored appearance. 陇曜市便如这般,似乎逐渐恢复了过去的模样。 Only the people in professional circle know, these appearances, but is the false appearance that in the surface presents. 只有职业圈里的人们才知道,这些模样,不过是表面上呈现出来的假象而已。 Continuing effect that Huaming Campaign brings, is not absolutely easy to vanish. 华明战役带来的后续影响,绝对不是那么容易消失的。 For example, these run in the fish slip through in urban district, has not eliminated completely, every day is making the casualties, brought a big trouble to Longyao City in secret. 比如,那些跑进市区里的漏网之鱼,至今都还没有消灭完全,每天都在制造着伤亡,暗中给陇曜市带来了不小的麻烦。 Therefore, one such as Su Ming previously expected like that after the vacation ended, the Demon-Hunting School students entered busy status/condition thoroughly. 于是,一如苏明先前所预料的那般,在假期结束以后,猎魔学院的学员们彻底进入了忙碌的状态了。 Fish slip through that in order to eliminate once to run from Huaming District, Longyao City gave the school massive Quest. 为了消灭曾从华明区里跑出来的漏网之鱼,陇曜市交给了学院大量的任务。 The school conducts to classify these Quest one by one, and according to the difficulty, entrusted in all students to school one by one. 学院将这些任务一一进行分门别类,并根据难度,逐一委托给学院里的所有学员。 Yes, does not let the students in the Quest Hall free selection, oneself decide to do, but is directly through the message, news and chat software notice and so on way, issues it to the students. 是的,不是让学员们在任务大厅自由选取,自己决定要不要做,而是直接通过短信、讯息、聊天软件通知等等的方式,将其下达给学员们。 This means that these Quest are half compulsory work. 这意味着,这些任务都是半强制性的作业。 Reason that is half compulsory, rather than compulsory, the difference only lies in if unable to complete Quest, or does not complete Quest, that will only be buckled the school grades, will not have anything to punish. 之所以是半强制性,而不是强制性,区别仅在于若是无法完成任务,或者不去完成任务,那只会被扣学分,不会有什么惩罚。 But this also fully explained, the situation has brooked no delay, cannot accommodate Longyao City and school distributes Quest with the modest method. 可这也足以说明,事态已经刻不容缓,容不得陇曜市及学院用温和的手段分派任务了。 „Although is just one crowd of fish slip through, but Illusory Demon is Illusory Demon, one day except, the Longyao City in resident can not be peaceful on 1st, may encounter the danger anytime.” “虽然只不过是一群漏网之鱼,但幻魔就是幻魔,一日不除,陇曜市里的市民就一日都不得安宁,随时有可能遭遇危险。” Su Ming is sighing with emotion the brutality of this not peaceful world in the heart secretly. 苏明在心中暗暗感慨着这个一点都不和平的世界之残酷。 Only can say, oneself also Spiritual Physique, can become Warlock luckily for the time being, the parental family member therefore obtained the privilege, can enter the town center focuses on protecting the area to live, otherwise, in such unstable current situation, Su Ming must every day feel alarmed and anxious, does not know when own family member will encounter the misfortune. 只能说,幸好自己姑且还有灵性体质,能够成为术士,父母家人因而都获得了特权,能够进入市中心的重点保护区进行居住,否则,在这样动荡不安的时势里,苏明都得每天担惊受怕,不知道自己的家人什么时候就会遭遇不幸。 It is said that regular professionals in professional circle was also appointed, is crusading against Illusory Demon in each corner in Longyao City. 据说,职业圈里的正规职业者们也纷纷都被指派了出去,正在陇曜市里的各个角落中讨伐着幻魔。 This is not an easy matter. 这不是一件容易的事情。 Illusory Demon has various characteristics respectively, thinks that one by one looks, and one by one annihilates, the non- spend some time, that is incorrect. 幻魔各有各的特性,想一一找出来,并一一消灭掉,不花点功夫,那是不行的。 Present Longyao City is actually not able to conduct the big movement. 偏偏,现在的陇曜市却无法进行大动作。 Although the common resident and even is the professionals not too clear this matter, but through Xu Qianqian that side channel, Su Ming obtained a news. 虽然一般的市民乃至是职业者们都不太清楚这件事,但通过许芊芊那边的渠道,苏明得到了一个消息。 „Longyao City now staff shortage?” “陇曜市现在人手短缺？” Su Ming is then listening to cellphone another front one, news that Xu Qianqian explained that cannot help but startled. 苏明便听着手机另一头里,许芊芊道明的消息,不由得怔了一怔。 Real false? 真的假的啊？ „Really.” Xu Qianqian seems can hear Su Ming's heart sound, said: „Present Longyao City truly lacks the manpower, no matter professional or soldier.” “真的。”许芊芊好似能够听到苏明的心声似的,道:“现在的陇曜市确实缺乏人手,不管是职业者还是军人。” „Why?” Su Ming is almost asks this question that blurted out. “为什么？”苏明几乎是脱口而出的问出这个问题。 „Because of war.” Xu Qianqian also straightforwardly said: „How many people did you forget Huaming Campaign to sacrifice?” “因为战争。”许芊芊也直截了当的道:“你忘了华明战役牺牲了多少人吗？” A few words, making Su Ming silent. 一句话,让苏明沉默了下来。 Huaming Campaign, Longyao City no doubt won, but the number of fall guy, comes clearly into view now. 华明战役,陇曜市固然获得了胜利,但牺牲者的数目,如今都还历历在目。 „The professional sacrifice population had more than 15,000 fully.” “职业者的牺牲人数足有一万五千多。” „The sacrifice number of soldier had over 100,000 fully.” “军人的牺牲数目则足有十万以上。” „However professional in Longyao City how many people? Army how many people?” “而陇曜市里的职业者才多少人？军队又有多少人？” Xu Qianqian question quite sharp, letting Su Ming has to understand that actually this icy number is representing anything. 许芊芊的反问可谓是相当的犀利,让苏明不得不理解这冷冰冰的数字究竟代表着什么。 Regardless of army for the time being, but the professional words, Su Ming knows, professional in entire Longyao City only has seven and about 80,000, but also is less than 100,000 people. 军队姑且不论,但职业者的话,苏明知道,整个陇曜市里的职业者都才只有七、八万左右,还不到十万人。 But Huaming Campaign, was makes Longyao City lose 20% high and low professional. 而一次华明战役,却是让陇曜市损失了20%上下的职业者。 This without doubt is a deeply grieved victory. 这无疑是一次惨痛的胜利。 Therefore, Longyao City seemingly regained the peace, seemingly restored appearance, actually after experiencing deeply grieved victory price, had been stuck in the mud in various aspects. 所以,陇曜市看似恢复了和平,看似恢复了过去的模样,实则在经历了惨痛的胜利代价以后,已经在各方面都陷入了泥潭。 Otherwise, the school will make one group of students half compulsory receives Quest? 不然,学院怎么会让一群学员半强制性的接取任务呢？ Has no recourse forget it/that's all. 迫不得已罢了。 „In other words, is the Longyao City present condition very bad?” “也就是说,陇曜市现在的状况很糟糕？” Su Ming asked one. 苏明这么问了一句。 „Compared with bad that you imagine.” Xu Qianqian with the voice of unreasonable as, said: „I disclosed two news to you, yourself are listening well, do not say casually.” “比你想象的糟糕。”许芊芊用不近人情似的声线,这么说道:“我给你透露两个消息,你自己听着就好,别随便说出去。” Su Ming had not answered, static waits for Xu Qianqian to say. 苏明没有回话,静静的等着许芊芊道出。 Finally, Xu Qianqian this together, said two earth-shaking news. 结果,许芊芊这一道,就是道出了两个惊天动地的消息。 „The first news, fish slip through that escapes from the initial Huaming District battlefield, not only only has Low-Class Illusory Demon, also Dangerous Type, true High-Class Illusory Demon.” “第一个消息,从当初的华明区战场上逃出来的漏网之鱼里,不仅仅只有下级幻魔,还有一只危险种,真真正正的上级幻魔。” Xu Qianqian slowly said in a manner prone to making exaggerated and sensationalistic statements. 许芊芊语不惊人死不休的缓缓道出。 „The second news, in the eve, Mayor Longyao City was attacked, entire family was slaughtered, the mayor was grasped doubtful, mayor's daughter at present also missing, disappears without a trace.” “第二个消息,就在前夜,陇曜市市长一家遭到袭击,全家被屠杀,市长疑似被抓,市长千金目前也下落不明,不知去向。” Two earth-shaking big news, making Su Ming stunned. 两个石破天惊的大消息,让苏明都为之错愕了。 „How can like this?” “怎么会这样？” a matter of no concern to oneself like Su Ming, this also cannot help but startled. 事不关己如苏明,这会也不由得惊了。 These two news, all can make entire Longyao City fall into the dramatic turmoil the big sad news. 这两个消息,无一不是能让整个陇曜市陷入剧烈动荡的大噩耗。 If nothing else, solely fish slip through that runs from the Huaming District battlefield has Dangerous Type, true High-Class Illusory Demon this matter, makes entire Longyao City fall into sufficiently scared. 别的不说,单单是从华明区的战场上跑出来的漏网之鱼里有一只危险种,真真正正的上级幻魔这件事,就足以让整个陇曜市陷入恐慌。 That is High-Class Illusory Demon. 那可是上级幻魔。 Even 4-Star professional can only cope reluctantly, fearful existence that is unable to crusade against. 连四星职业者都只能勉强对付,无法讨伐的可怕存在。 Such Illusory Demon hides unexpectedly in population 60 million base city, that throws into a carnivorous dinosaur the soft flock of sheep simply, does not know has many people to suffer disaster, is regarded as blood food, was hunted. 这样一只幻魔居然潜藏在人口六千万的基地市里,那简直就是将一头肉食性的恐龙扔进绵羊群中,不知道得有多少人得遭难,被视为血食,受到猎捕。 High-Class Illusory Demon and Low-Class Illusory Demon cannot place on a par, its, if thinks blood sucking, moves , then harms several hundred over a thousand people, if it spends freely power in the urban district, that absolutely is the catastrophe of disaster rank. 要知道,上级幻魔和下级幻魔可不能相提并论,其若是想吸血,动则危害数百上千人,若是其在市区中挥霍力量,那绝对是天灾级别的大灾难。 Su Ming has been able to imagine, the Longyao City high levels have become what appearance randomly. 苏明已经可以想象得到,陇曜市高层们已经乱成什么样子了。 Furthermore, a mayor home however was attacked, entire family was slaughtered, even mayor as if seized news, similarly may be called shocking. 再者,市长一家居然遭到袭击,全家被屠杀,连市长都似乎被抓走的消息,同样堪称骇人听闻。 That is the mayor, highest wielding of Longyao City capability mechanism, Longyao City this base city nominal Master and owner, can decide the entire Longyao City existence of whereabouts and policy. 那可是市长,陇曜市权力机构的最高执掌者,陇曜市这座基地市名义上的主人兼所有者,能够决定整座陇曜市的去向及方针的存在。 Like this highest authority, encountered the attack unexpectedly, what that and president president does the assassinated startled huge matter have to distinguish? 这样的最高权力者,居然遇到了袭击,那和总统主席被刺杀的惊天大事有什么区别呢？ In any case, Su Ming really by such two news being startled. 反正,苏明是真的被这样的两个消息给惊到了。 Xu Qianqian is seemingly calm, actually sound also extremely dignified. 许芊芊看似冷静,实则声音也极其的凝重。 „These two news have been blocked at present, if leaks out casually, will make entire Longyao City go haywire absolutely.” Xu Qianqian said: „The base city high level has linked for two days to hold the grand summit at the same night, mobilizes greatest manpower that the present can mobilize, will crusade against hidden Dangerous Type in urban district and searches for the mayor and mayor's daughter two people whereabouts to regard as priority highest Quest, the difficulty is SS-Rank.” “这两个消息目前已经遭到封锁,若是随便泄露出去,绝对会让整个陇曜市都陷入混乱。”许芊芊道:“基地市高层已经连着两天连夜召开重大会议,动员了现在能够动员的最大程度的人力,将讨伐隐藏在市区中的危险种及搜寻市长、市长千金两人的行踪视为优先度最高的任务,难度则是SS级。” So-called SS-Rank Quest, is the Quest difficulty in the past not presenting. 所谓的SS级任务,乃是往日里不会出现的任务难度。 When a base city proper operation, most very difficult Quest that it can give, but is S-Rank forget it/that's all. 当一座基地市正常运作时,其会给出的最高难度任务,不过是S级罢了。 This is not S-Rank Quest in school, but is S-Rank Quest in professional circle, the difficulty in view of complete professional, does not aim at the student. 这可不是学院里的S级任务,而是职业圈中的S级任务,难度是针对全部的职业者,不是针对学员。 Generally speaking, Quest in professional circle, C-Rank Quest, its difficulty, issue the school in S-Rank Quest that was more difficult. 一般来说,职业圈里的任务,一个C级的任务,其难度,都要比学院里发布出来的S级任务要难了。 After all, in the school the strongest person, at best is two, 3-Star, in professional circle different, even high-class professional has Quest time, its Quest difficulty of acceptance, absolutely is the student rank person not unimaginable. 毕竟,学院里最强的人,充其量就是二、三星而已,职业圈中则不同,连上级职业者都有出任务的时候,其接取的任务难度,绝对是学员等级的人无法想象的。 But, when this only proper operation mechanism. 但,这只是正常运作时的机制而已。 When affects the operation of entire base city sufficiently and even is the crisis of life and death, the Quest difficulty will rise dramatically instantaneously. 一旦出现足以影响到整个基地市的运作乃至是生死存亡的危机时,任务难度将会瞬间飙升。 SS-Rank is this rank Quest. SS级就是这种等级的任务。 It is said that in SS-Rank above also SSS-Rank Quest. 据说,在SS级以上还有SSS级的任务。 That rank Quest happens, that means that base city really to the moment of life and death, the words that did not solve, the fate was the base city destruction. 那种等级的任务一旦出现,那就意味着基地市真的到了生死存亡的一刻,不解决的话,下场就是基地市的覆灭。 Now although has not arrived at carving of base city life and death, but the appearance as well as mayor of attack Dangerous Type is missing, will make Longyao City go haywire the turbulence. 现在虽还没到基地市生死存亡之刻,可危险种的出现以及市长一家的遇袭失踪,都会让陇曜市陷入动荡及混乱。 Therefore, no matter crusades against Dangerous Type is also good, searches for mayor whereabout also fine, is SS-Rank Quest. 因此,不管是讨伐危险种也好,搜寻市长一家的下落也罢,都是SS级任务。 „These two Quest divide large numbers of manpower in nowadays Longyao City, the remaining manpower distributed base city each region again, is obviously insufficient.” “这两个任务分走了现今的陇曜市里的大批人手,剩下的人手再分派到基地市各地去,已经是明显不足了。” Xu Qianqian told Su Ming like this. 许芊芊这样告诉了苏明。 „Then, our days perhaps become quite sad.” “接下来,我们的日子恐怕会变得比较难过。” This is without a doubt. 这是毋庸置疑的。 Brow of Su Ming immediately tight wrinkle. 苏明的眉头顿时紧紧的皱起。 He has not really thought, seems like has regained the peace Longyao City, in the back, is falls into such crisis unexpectedly. 他还真没想到,看似已经恢复和平的陇曜市,背地里,竟是陷入这样的危局之中。 Su Ming puts down the Dangerous Type matter for the time being, the attention will transfer to a mayor murdered event. 苏明暂且放下危险种的事情,将注意力转至市长一家遇害的事件上。 „Why mayor will be attacked?” Su Ming asked: „Was presents terrorist?” “为什么市长一家会遇袭呢？”苏明问道:“是出现恐怖分子了吗？” „It is not clear.” Xu Qianqian shakes the head, said: „Actually what's the matter, is also under investigation at present, is certain, only then the opposite party is not an average person.” “不清楚。”许芊芊摇了摇头,道:“究竟是怎么回事,目前也还在调查中,可以肯定的只有对方不是普通人。” As Longyao City's mayor, mayor one is also a respected family. 作为陇曜市的市长,市长一家也是一个大家族。 „Wang Family is in Longyao City inherits the oldest family, before for a long time is very very long, is very famous Hunter aristocratic family, although does not have the super aristocratic family of Nightmare Type bloodline inheritance, is actually among the best in the top aristocratic family, deep of background, the abundance of strength, even Xu Family and Li Family had been inferior.” “王家是陇曜市里传承历史最为悠久的家族,很久很久以前就已经是非常有名的猎人世家,虽不是有噩梦种血脉传承的超级世家,却也在顶级世家中名列前茅,底蕴之深厚,实力之雄厚,连许家和李家都有所不如。” Xu Qianqian said. 许芊芊缓缓道来。 „I listened to the father saying that the Wang Family ancestor founds the Longyao City this base city person, therefore the Longyao City all previous mayor had at least more than 50% to elect from Wang Family, the Wang Family strength is known as second in Longyao City many families, no one dares to be known as first, solely was high-class professional, in Wang Family has entire more than ten, was in Longyao City besides Warlock's Guild and 《Cloud Stream Chamber of Commerce》, high-class professional most influences.” “我听父亲说过,王家先祖就是创建陇曜市这座基地市的人,所以陇曜市的历代市长有至少一半以上都是从王家中选举出来的,王家的实力在陇曜市的诸多家族中更是号称第二,没人敢号称第一,单单是上级职业者,王家中就有整整十几位,是陇曜市中除了术士公会及『云流商会』以外,上级职业者最多的势力。” Such Wang Family was actually broken through, is the raider possibly an average person? 这样的王家却是被人攻破,袭击者又怎么可能是普通人呢？ But the issue came. 可问题来了。 „Can break through Wang Family such respected family, is actually the raider what background?” “能够攻破王家这样的大家族,袭击者究竟是什么来头啊？” Su Ming unconsciously this question whispered. 苏明不自觉的将这个疑问呢喃出声。 „This is also the matter that the entire Longyao City high level wants to know.” Xu Qianqian said with a heavy voice: „Words that after all, even Wang Family can be broken through, that explained, the strength of opposite party, breaks through presently in Longyao City sufficiently any family.” “这也是整个陇曜市高层都想知道的事情。”许芊芊声音沉重的道:“毕竟,连王家都能被攻破的话,那就说明,对方的实力,足以攻破现陇曜市里任何一个家族。” How does this make the Longyao City high levels be able to feel relieved? 这让陇曜市高层们如何能够感到安心呢？ The upper-level confusion, definitely is also being unavoidable. 上层的混乱,肯定也是在所难免的了。 Naturally... 当然... „In Huaming Campaign, Wang Family takes Longyao City most ancient family influence and mayor, has set an example, to forefront, thus the sacrifice was in many families is also biggest, more than ten high-class professional sacrificed near half, nowadays precisely weakest time, will go to enter, did not have the matter of means.” “在华明战役中,王家作为陇曜市最古老的家族势力兼市长一家,一直都以身作则,冲在了最前面,因而牺牲也是诸多家族中最大的,十几位上级职业者都牺牲了近一半,现今正是最虚弱的时候,会被人趁虚而入,亦是没办法的事情。” Xu Qianqian told Su Ming. 许芊芊这么告诉了苏明。 „According to my father's view, the committing murder object who the Longyao City high levels suspect at present, not in city, but in suburban.” “根据我父亲的说法,陇曜市的高层们目前怀疑的行凶对象,并不在市内,而在市外。” In other words , Longyao City numerous high levels and believe, this event, is the influence behavior outside base city. 换言之,陇曜市一众高层们兼认为,这一事件,乃是基地市外的势力所为。 „The influence outside base city...” “基地市外的势力...” Su Ming remembered an influence suddenly. 苏明突然想起了一个势力。 „Can the hand under 《Sin》?” “会不会『罪恶』下的手？” Su Ming's words, making Xu Qianqian fall into several seconds of silence. 苏明的话,让许芊芊陷入了数秒钟的沉默中。 „Has the possibility very much.” Xu Qianqian opens the mouth slowly, said: „Must say that base city the words outside of influence, truly must first suspect that 《Sin》 is good.” “很有可能。”许芊芊徐徐开口,道:“要说基地市外的势力的话,确实得先怀疑『罪恶』才行。” Who makes this underground mercenary organization then appear in Longyao City before then, even bustles about under some high-level asylum of base city? 谁让这个地下雇佣兵组织在此之前便出现在陇曜市内过,甚至在基地市的某位高层的庇护下大肆活动呢？ Does not suspect them, whom but can also suspect? 不怀疑他们,还能怀疑谁？ But 《Sin》 also has strength so. 而『罪恶』也有这般实力。 They are in the underground world's largest mercenary organization, one of the biggest underground professional groups, in the organization even two 7-Star professional, are not only one by sea remote base city can the comparison. 他们是地下世界里最大的雇佣兵组织,最大的地下职业者集团之一,组织内甚至有两名七星职业者,绝不是区区一座靠海的偏僻基地市能够比较的。 In Longyao City only surface in many base city, and is not among the best. 陇曜市只是地表上诸多基地市中的一座,且并不算名列前茅。 《Sin》 is actually one of the entire underground the world's largest organizations, looking over the whole world is the underground organization of ranking among the best. 『罪恶』却是整个地下世界最大的组织之一,纵观整个世界都是数一数二的地下组织。 Between both, does not have the comparability. 两者之间,根本不存在可比性。 Therefore, if is really the hand that 《Sin》 has, that Longyao City pleasure was big. 因此,若真是『罪恶』出的手,那陇曜市的乐子就大了。 Naturally, must really be they, Su Ming same carefully. 理所当然,要真是他们,苏明同样得小心了。 „Xiao Hai'er is their goals.” The Xu Qianqian serious opens the mouth, said: „If really they, you may stare very much.” “小海儿可是他们的目标。”许芊芊郑重的开口,说道:“真要是他们,你很有可能会被盯上。” hearing this, Su Ming narrowed the eye. 闻言,苏明眯起了眼睛。 It seems like that oneself must take some measures to be good. 看来,自己也得采取些措施才行了。
