„How can I see clearly my answer?” “那我又怎么能看清自己的答案？” Elder Brother purses the lips, looking pensive. 哥洛佛抿起嘴,若有所思。 Cohen stares the big eye, is bewildered. 科恩瞪大眼,一脸茫然。 „Have you played chess? ‚The rise and fall of empire’?” “你们下过棋吗？‘帝国的兴衰’？” Taiersi steps on the Xiacheng District mud sully, everywhere on the street of hindrance, is at a loss raised the head, looks to the sky that the star city clear deep blue, dust will not have dyed forever. 泰尔斯踩在下城区泥泞脏污、处处阻碍的街道上,迷惘地抬起头,望向永星城澄澈碧蓝、一尘未染的天空。 Elder Brother raised the head: 哥洛佛抬起头: „Yes.” “是。” Cohen scratches the head embarrassed, sound getting smaller: 科恩不好意思地挠挠头,声音越来越小: „I, that hehe, I knew that the rule comes...... not to have the means that the old man taught the cousin his chess skill......” “我,那个,嘿嘿,我认识规则来着……没办法,老头子把他的棋艺都教给表哥了……” Taiersi shows a faint smile. 泰尔斯微微一笑。 „Since I return to the kingdom, these days, many people want to play chess with me, I 11 satisfy.” “从我回到王国之后,这些日子里,有不少人都想跟我下棋,我都一一满足。” Taiersi continues to take a step to forward, the vision is severe gradually: 泰尔斯继续举步向前,目光渐厉: „Has the most special person.” “其中却有一个最特殊的人。” „With, is not I am familiar with below law.” “用的,不是我所习惯的下法。” They step onto a strange street, when here house and tunnel stack-up anger, can see reluctantly plans systematic at first. 他们走上一处陌生的街道,这里的房屋与巷道层叠块垒,勉强能看出甫初规划时的井井有条。 Actually filled the beggar and bludger as before, the difficult escaping man-made disaster to bring is chaotic. 却依旧充满了乞丐与混混,难逃人祸带来的混乱不堪。 „Most people play chess, seen is the board game piece and chessgame.” “大部分人下棋,见到的都是棋子和棋局。” Taiersi is sideways to avoid a carriage that is flinging the muddy water: 泰尔斯侧身避开一架甩着泥水的马车: „But he is not.” “但他不是。” In the eyes of prince appears dignified. 王子的眼里现出凝重。 „Regardless of six years ago is six years later, he is individualistic unusual, not only disdains the fate to hold the child, has not shot a look at to look at the checkerboard, even does not care about the circumstance and even the victory and defeat of chessgame.” “无论六年前还是六年后,他都特立独行与众不同,非但不屑下场执子,更不曾瞥看棋盘,甚至不在乎棋局的情势乃至胜负。” Elder Brother brow wrinkle is tighter, Cohen's look is even more confused. 哥洛佛的眉头越皱越紧,科恩的眼神越发迷茫。 But Taiersi words have the invisible strength, making two people tighten the body subconsciously. 但泰尔斯的话却带着无形的力量,让两人下意识地绷紧身躯。 „Because in his eye sees, only has beside the checkerboard, regardless of the size, treats everyone equally, lonely ponders, adamant- chess player.” “因为他眼中所见,唯有棋盘之外,不论大小,不分高下,一个个孤独沉思,我行我素的-棋手。” Taiersi gets hold of the fist. 泰尔斯握紧拳头。 „He knows, or he is assured,” prince clenches jaws: “他知道,或者说他笃定,”王子咬牙切齿: „Makes the choice on the checkerboard, forever can only be a chess player.” “在棋盘上做出选择的,永远只能是棋手。” The wing, Anke Berrar, Zhan Kevin Til legend, even in Fuxing Gong the shadow on throne, flashes through Taiersi brain in this moment. 传说之翼、安克・拜拉尔、詹恩・凯文迪尔,甚至复兴宫里王座上的阴影,在这一刻都闪过泰尔斯的大脑。 „Each chess player, each because of different choices, but the achievement self- chess player, is always traceable.” “每一个棋手,每一个因不同的选择而成就自我的棋手,总是有迹可循的。” Taiersi deeply inspires. 泰尔斯深吸一口气。 „However he held these, only looks at the chess player, only takes the chess player as- he believes probably, so long as held the chess player, what chessgame wanting to be a cinch.” “而他抓住了这些,只看棋手,只以棋手为子-他大概相信,只要抓住了棋手,想要什么样的棋局都不在话下。” „Does not take the bloodlines as to revere like the King,” Taiersi gently holding down chest: “就像王者不以血脉为尊,”泰尔斯轻轻按住胸口: „Bloodlines actually because of the King, but glory.” “血脉却因王者而荣。” Elder Brother and Cohen are silent, one is dignified, one is ignorant. 哥洛佛和科恩沉默着,一者凝重,一者懵懂。 Taiersi clears off oneself mentality gradually, the tone dreaded. 泰尔斯渐渐理清自己的思路,语气忌惮。 „He is I have never seen the opponent, his below law, even cannot by ‚wise’ and ‚inferior’ describes the appraisal.” “他是我从未见过的对手,他的下法,甚至不能以‘高明’和‘低劣’来描述评价。” „Links up into a single stretch the different chess players, is his checkerboard.” “把不同的棋手连成一片,就是他的棋盘。” „For this reason, he is willing to tie up the hands and feet, even the suicide delivers the child, and even throws off the checkerboard also to refuse to balk.” “为此,他甘愿自缚手脚,甚至自杀送子,乃至掀翻棋盘也在所不惜。” Taiersi vision is indistinct, state of mind non-. 泰尔斯目光缥缈,神思不属。 „Will operate like some players, some players hit the operation, some players understand the skill, some players look at the general situation......” “就像有的选手会操作,有的选手打运营,有的选手懂技巧,有的选手看大局……” „But he......” Taiersi sighed: “但是他……”泰尔斯叹了口气: „He is wholehearted, is staring at the main engine power source!” “他只是一心一意,盯着主机电源啊！” Cohen no longer felt finally was alone orphaned: He sees satisfied, elder brother also showed the vacant puzzled ignorant facial expression in this flash. 科恩终于不再感到独孤了:他满意地看见,哥洛佛在这一刹那也露出了茫然不解的懵懂神情。 „Custom is good,” an appearance of safety officer kgunneryk seasoned person, satisfiedly racket elder brother shoulder: “习惯就好,”警戒官一副过来人的样子,满足地拍拍哥洛佛的肩膀: „Prince is this, often the god talked on endlessly, I have seen......” “王子就是这样,经常神叨叨的,我见过……” „I am own health/guard that he accompanies day and night,” zombie complexion one cold, does not show due respect for the feelings to break free from Cohen's hand: “我是他日夜相伴的亲卫,”僵尸面色一冷,不给面子地甩开科恩的手: „Does not need you to remind.” “不用你提醒。” But Taiersi has not paid attention to these small details, he immerses in oneself train of thought wholly absorbed. 但泰尔斯没有理会这些小小的细节,他专心致志地沉浸在自己的思绪里。 „He chooses, or he believes what he chooses is the King and chess player, rather than bloodlines and chessgame.” “他选择,或者说,他相信他选择的是王者与棋手,而非血脉与棋局。” The prince deeply inspires, actually gives birth in the flash some frustrated and hesitates. 王子深吸一口气,却在一瞬间生出些许惘然和犹疑。 „But how he can be assured,” Taiersi said slowly: “但他又怎么能笃定,”泰尔斯缓缓道: „Because of the bloodlines revering, can certainly the glorious bloodlines?” “因血脉而尊者,就一定能荣耀血脉？” „In chessgame, can certainly become the chess player?” “在棋局里的子,就一定能成为棋手？” Taiersi has turned head: 泰尔斯回过头: „Did you say?” “你们说呢？” Each other look competes has a scare by elder brother and Cohen, both gets back one's composure. 正在彼此以眼神较劲的哥洛佛和科恩都吓了一跳,双双回神。 „I am unable to give you answer.” Elder Brother cautious said/tunnel. “我无法给您答案。”哥洛佛拘谨地道。 „I, I, I did not understand what is heard......” Cohen to do farm work diligently the half of the day, was dejected discouraged. “我,我,我还是听不明白……”科恩努力地耕耘了半天,还是颓然泄气。 „Your highness is gambling,” elder brother coldly prompts this with his elder sister's illegibile companion: “殿下在博弈,”哥洛佛冷冷地提示这位跟他姐姐不清不楚的同伴: „Opponent who cannot see with some distant us, a difficult to deal with great person.” “跟远方某位我们看不到的对手,一位难对付的大人物。” Elder Brother look one severe: 哥洛佛眼神一厉: „Or, incessantly.” “或者,不止一位。” Taiersi commended nods. 泰尔斯赞许地点点头。 The safety officer kgunneryks blinked, shook the head. 警戒官眨眨眼,晃了晃脑袋。 „It is not, you engage in the politics, puts in order so many curved to circle......” “不是,你们搞政治的,整这么多弯弯绕绕的……” But does not wait for Cohen to reply, Taiersi takes a step to forward, remains diligently Cohen who expresses the opinion behind, the disciple remains suffering. 但不等科恩答话,泰尔斯就重新举步向前,把努力发表见解的科恩留在身后,徒留委屈。 „Therefore he is compelling me, compelling me to join a gambling game.” “因此他在逼我,逼我入局。” Taiersi remembers, if surface cold ice: 泰尔斯想起过去,面若寒冰: „Or, he knows, my such chess player, once joins a gambling game......” “或者,他知道,我这样的棋手,一旦入局……” „Will turn into the chess player who he wants.” “就会变成他想要的棋手。” Taiersi does not tighten the muscle voluntarily. 泰尔斯不自觉地绷紧肌肉。 „For this reason, he gave me a sword.” “为此,他给了我一把剑。” The vision of prince forwards, the penetration streets and alleys, as if saw anything. 王子的目光直直向前,穿透街巷,仿佛看到了什么。 „Because he knows, or he believes that no matter sword blade to where, regardless of drawing a sword behavior what matter, the standard keeps off or attacks, chops to cut or the thorn strikes, once I took up the sword......” “因为他知道,或者他相信,不管剑刃所向何方,无论拔剑所为何事,格挡或进攻,劈砍或刺击,一旦我拿起了剑……” Taiersi said spookily: 泰尔斯幽幽道: „Could not put down it again.” “就再也放不下它了。” Feels struggling and hesitation of Xinghu duke, elder brother has not spoken. 感受到星湖公爵的挣扎和犹豫,哥洛佛没有说话。 Cohen tries hard to blink actually. 倒是科恩努力眨了眨眼。 „Where approaches, behavior what matter...... sword...... volume......” “所向何方,所为何事……剑……额……” Cohen's vision first is profound, is then vacant: 科恩的目光先是深邃,尔后茫然: „I, sorry, I...... I have not listened to understand.” “我,抱歉,我……我还是没听太懂。” „Doesn't matter, Cohen,” Taiersi recovers, exhales the one breath: „Being able to understand is the good deed.” “没关系,科恩,”泰尔斯回过神来,呼出一口气:“听不懂是好事。” The prince looks at him complex: 王子复杂地看着他: „Explained that you are very happy.” “说明你很幸福。” „Does not need to worry.” “不必烦心。” But unexpected, the safety officer kgunneryk actually shakes the head decisively. 但出乎意料,警戒官却果断地摇了摇头。 „Not, Your highness, although I know that you are rubbing to scold me secretly, but Grandmaster Jiddy has told me, when you did not know lifts the sword or not,” Cohen hesitant moment, actually firm said/tunnel: “不不不,殿下,虽然我知道你是在暗搓搓骂我,但是杰迪大师告诉过我,当你不晓得举剑与否的时候,”科恩犹豫片刻,却还是坚定地道: „Is the time, needs to make inquiries into your ‚the heart of sword’.” “就是时候,需要叩问您的‘剑之心’了。” Taiersi stares. 泰尔斯一愣。 „What?” “什么？” „The heart of sword,” Cohen dignified and earnest said/tunnel: “剑之心,”科恩凝重而认真地道: „In the tower of end, without this thing, you cannot graduate.” “在终结之塔,没有这东西,你就不能毕业。” „Snort,” elder brother holds the arm to scoff lightly: “哼,”哥洛佛抱臂轻嗤: „Is the god saying theory of that broken tower.” “又是那个破塔的神叨理论。” Cohen discontentedly horizontal elder brother eyes, but he has not conflicted with the opposite party eventually, but turns around asks Taiersi: 科恩不满地横了哥洛佛一眼,但他终究没有与对方冲突,而是转过来问泰尔斯: „This is the overall view of tower of end to ending strength: The strength of end is not a tool, but is „ self-”. ” “这是终结之塔对终结之力的总体看法:终结之力不是工具,而是“自我”。” „Its exercise is not the skillful practice, not only stereotyped repetition, but is tempering of innermost feelings, further clearly recognizes self- questioning each time: Strength and it, external and energetic, technique and personality, behavior and faith, sword outside, heart, style technique outside, the strength of end. Only has inside and outside dual to complement one another, can reach the peak of strength of end.” “它的锻炼不是技巧的练习,不只是千篇一律的重复,而是内心的磨砺,是每次都更进一步认清自我的追问:力量与本身,外在与精神,技艺与人格,行为与信念,剑在外,心在内,招式技艺在外,终结之力在内。唯有内外二元相辅相成,才能达到终结之力的巅峰。” Taiersi looking pensive. 泰尔斯若有所思。 Cohen reveals the look that fondly remembers: 科恩露出怀念的眼神: „For this reason, as the training method, each swordsman in end tower, each warrior, must set off the journey, looks for itself uniquely- does not have the division of strong and weak, only has to suit or not- ‚the heart of sword’, the inside and outside are connected, to become great talent.” “为此,作为训练方法,终结塔的每一位剑手,每一个斗士,都要踏上征程,寻找自己独特的-没有强弱之分,唯有适合与否-‘剑之心’,内外相连,以成大器。” „Your sword must be compatible with your heart, the idea is interlinked.” “你的剑须与你的心并行不悖,理念相通。” „Otherwise, in some time, your heart association/will comes apart with your sword- your skill in Wushu skillful wasted effort, the strength of detention difficult line end, unable to force the swordsman of exquisite multi- thinking to open like you greatly gathers greatly, cannot force the straightforward boorish warrior to carve.” “否则,在某一个时刻,你的心总会与你的剑脱节-你的武艺技巧事倍功半,终结之力也滞涩难行,就像你不能强迫细腻多思的剑手大开大合,也不能强迫豪爽粗野的斗士精雕细琢。” Compatible, the idea is interlinked. 并行不悖,理念相通。 Taiersi is slightly lost, remembers in the jail of white bones, the explanation of Ricky's to ending strength. 泰尔斯略略出神,想起白骨之牢里,瑞奇对终结之力的解释。 Elder Brother disdains the hum/snort: 哥洛佛不屑哼声: „Is listening actually give an exaggerated account of things, hits......” “听着倒是天花乱坠,打起来嘛……” Cohen has not paid attention to elder brother, but is looking at Taiersi: 科恩没有理会哥洛佛,而是望着泰尔斯: „You, the heart of your sword where, Your highness?” “你呢,你的剑之心在哪里,殿下？” Taiersi was silent. 泰尔斯沉默了。 At that moment, he remembers agrees words suddenly. 那一刻,他突然想起法肯豪兹的话。 【Grasps your sword.】 【抓紧你的剑。】 【Do not lose.】 【别丢了。】 But in the meantime, Taiersi thinks suddenly the heart jumps! 但就在此时,泰尔斯突觉心头一跳！ „, Young masters.” “过界了,少爷们。” Almost meanwhile, Cohen and elder brother also both changes color, they vigilantly and bow according to the sword dignifiedly, enters the fight stance! 几乎同时,科恩和哥洛佛也双双变色,他们警惕而凝重地屈膝按剑,进入战斗姿态！ Taiersi then notices, when does not know gets up, their surrounding streets already nobody left, strange silent. 泰尔斯这才注意到,不知何时起,他们周围的街道已经空无一人,诡异寂静。 But dead ahead, facial features are resolute, the muscle solid man is holding the both arms, the vision brilliant is staring at them. 而正前方,一个面容刚毅,肌肉结实的汉子抱着双臂,目光灼灼地盯着他们。 His left arm is tying up a black silk arrange/cloth, rocks gently. 他的左臂绑着一块黑色绸布,轻轻晃动。 „It seems like dregs all the way have not lied,” man sees Cohen and elder brother movement, the look changes: “看来一路上的渣滓们没说谎,”汉子看着科恩和哥洛佛的动作,眼神一变: „Truly is the hard idea, does right by this cape, no wonder dares to do our street business.” “确实是硬点子,对得起这身斗篷,难怪敢来搞我们的街头生意。” Taiersi is staring at that black silk arrange/cloth, is silently lost. 泰尔斯盯着那块黑色绸布,默默出神。 „Ultra step.” Elder Brother is staring at that resolute man stubbornly: “超阶。”哥洛佛死死盯着那个刚毅汉子: „He makes me uncomfortable.” “他让我不舒服。” Cohen deeply inspires. 科恩深吸一口气。 „I recognize this fellow, the criminal record in security hall violate in the list to have him,” safety officer kgunneryk is eager to try: “我认得这家伙,警戒厅里的前科犯名单上有他,”警戒官跃跃欲试: „‚Thunder ax’ Osse clear/pain, had formerly served, gets on the warship that in East Sea.” “‘雷斧’奥斯楚,从前服过役,在东海领的战船上。” „Happen, while this opportunity him......” “正好,趁这个机会把他……” But in the meantime, Osse clear/pain blew a whistling gently. 但就在此时,奥斯楚轻轻吹了个口哨。 Quick, the sound of footsteps from resounds in all directions, from scattered in broken bits, to deafening. 很快,脚步声自四面八方响起,从零散细碎,到震耳欲聋。 Several seconds , the surrounding intersection alley emits the innumerable arms is the person's shadow of black silk fabric, stops up watertight three people. 几秒钟的时间里,周围的街口小巷冒出无数臂系黑色绸子的人影,将三人堵得水泄不通。 Elder Brother and Cohen preliminary calculation a population, simultaneous/uniform look changes. 哥洛佛和科恩初算了一下人数,齐齐色变。 „This also......” Cohen's expression somewhat twitches. “这也……”科恩的表情有些抽搐。 „Were too many, this population are unusual.” Elder Brother conclusion said dignifiedly. “太多了,这人数非同寻常。”哥洛佛凝重地结论道。 Taiersi frowns. 泰尔斯皱起眉头。 Cohen puts out the one breath: 科恩吐出一口气: „Damn, left rear that stern-faced fellow, I remembers, ‚quiet killer’ York, the family background is still unclear.” “该死,左后方那个一脸阴沉的家伙,我记得,‘静谧杀手’莱约克,出身至今不明。” Taiersi turns head toward left, sure enough, saw that familiar face- York by wall, lowers the head does not speak, the surrounding more than ten goons no one dare to approach him. 泰尔斯向左回头,果不其然,看见了那个熟悉的面孔-莱约克靠在墙上,低头不语,周围的十几个打手没有人敢靠近他。 „Right, that is ‚steel awl’ Ed Leone, the major market day city, bosses the marketplace to press for payment to collect debts definitely has him, reckless northern person.” “还有右边,那是‘钢锥’艾德利昂萨,大集市里,欺行霸市催款收债肯定有他,不要命的北地人。” „Strange, subordinates of these bravos different, usually should not converge in together.” Cohen is thinking. “奇怪,这些亡命徒的从属不一样,平时应该不会聚在一起的。”科恩思索着。 Elder Brother has not spoken, he moved his arm, confirmed influence of own whip wound to movement. 哥洛佛没有说话,他只是活动了一下自己的手臂,确认自己鞭伤对动作的影响程度。 „Welcome to the underground street, did not know young masters who where come.” “欢迎来到地下街,不晓得哪儿来的少爷们。” Osse clear/pain received the axe that the subordinate hands over, one step, smiles forward is revealing the axe blade: 奥斯楚接过属下递来的斧子,向前一步,微笑着亮出斧刃: „Black street fraternity, gave regards to you,” “黑街兄弟会,向你们问好,” Underground street. 地下街。 Taiersi instinct smells. 泰尔斯本能地一嗅。 Really, he smelled in the memory, that vague stale taste. 果然,他闻见了记忆中,那股若有若无的霉味儿。 Is place that he is familiar with, a Taiersi frustration. 是他所熟悉的地方,泰尔斯一阵惘然。 „Same......” “只有一样……” „Comes to this place to play,” thunder ax the sound shakes the head: “来这地方玩儿啊,”雷斧啧声摇头: „Must receive the admission ticket.” “要收门票。” Osse clear/pain waves gently, the goons who the surroundings harbor evil intentions approach toward three people slowly. 奥斯楚轻轻挥手,周围不怀好意的打手们向着三人缓缓靠近。 „I have the requesting reinforcements fireworks, Western city security hall, is the director definitely is wordy afterward, then detains my......” Cohen to touch uncomfortable to the waist. “我有求援焰火,西城警戒厅的,就是厅长事后肯定要啰嗦,然后扣我的……”科恩不爽地摸向后腰。 „I have, royal family guard, but holds the flag wing......” elder brother to be depressed the said/tunnel. “我也有,王室卫队的,但掌旗翼……”哥洛佛闷闷地道。 But, Taiersi is in the meantime natural, unashamedly forward one step!
