Although night Twilight Manor is brilliantly illuminated, here that but Riegel and Ais meet has no light, only then the moonlight shines from out of the window, hits in two people's bodies. 夜晚的黄昏之馆虽然灯火通明,但黎格与艾丝相遇的这里却没什么灯光,只有月光从窗外照射进来,打在两人的身上。 Riegel looks that did not say a word Ais that there, in the heart sighs slightly. 黎格看着在那里一言不发的艾丝,心中微微一叹。 At first sight, Ais probably and usually not different, as before is the appearance that a deficient sentiment changes, on the face also no expression. 乍看之下,艾丝好像和平时没什么两样,依旧是一副缺乏感情变化的模样,脸上也没什么表情。 But, Riegel was keen detection arrived, Ais's mood was not very good. 可是,黎格还是敏锐的察觉到了,艾丝的心情不是很好。 She is depressed. 她在沮丧。 Her is very sad. 她的情绪很低落。 With Loki said that this young girl as if somewhat dejected appearance. 和洛基说的一样,这个少女似乎有些垂头丧气的样子。 But saw that in those days in quite looked after to oneself, not only taught itself Magic, taught itself Sword Skill, but also accompanies the young girl so condition that oneself train frequently, Riegel naturally does not have the means to treat as has not seen. 而看到往日里对自己颇为照顾,不仅教了自己魔法,教了自己剑技,还经常陪自己对练的少女如此状况,黎格自然没办法当做没看见。 „what are you doing here?” “在这里干什么呢？” Riegel approached, with Ais same by before the window, is looking into the outside night scene, spoke such. 黎格靠近了过去,和艾丝一样靠在窗前,眺望着外边的夜景,这般出声了。 „......” “......” Ais has not spoken, the only gaze approached the distant place. 艾丝没有说话,只是注视向了远方。 Riegel shoots a look on Ais takes one parchment one, said: „Isn't this harvest good?” 黎格瞥了艾丝手上拿着的一张羊皮纸一眼,道:“这次的收获不行吗？” hearing this, Ais silent moment, immediately gave Riegel the parchment in hand. 闻言,艾丝沉默了片刻,随即将手中的羊皮纸递给了黎格。 „Ok?” “可以吗？” Riegel is pressed the brow, asked one. 黎格蹙起眉头,问了一句。 Ais nodded, making Riegel receive the parchment. 艾丝点了点头,让黎格接过羊皮纸。 On the parchment, has Ability Value that Ais just renewed. 羊皮纸上,有着艾丝刚刚更新完的能力值。 ...... ...... Ais Wallenstein 艾丝·华伦斯坦 Lv.5 Lv.5 power: D549 → D555 力量:D549→D555 Endurance: D540 → D547 耐久:D540→D547 Dexterity: A823 → A825 灵巧:A823→A825 Agility: A821 → A822 敏捷:A821→A822 Magic Power: A899 魔力:A899 Hunter: G 猎人:G Abnormal Resistance: G 异常抗性:G swordsman: I 剑士:I ...... ...... When sees this Ability Value, Riegel is probably clear, why Ais can such feeling depressed. 看到这个能力值时,黎格大概明白,艾丝为什么会这么情绪低落了。 not because of anything else, only, because this time result is too bad. 不是因为别的,只是因为这次的成绩真的太差。 An expedition, struggled the entire over three weeks in Dungeon, deep layer ultra that enters, coped does not know that many classified the Level monster high, finally entire ability Proficiency rose only to have 20. 一次远征,在地下城里奋斗了整整三个星期以上的时间,还是进入的超深层,对付了不知道多少高分类等级的怪物,结果全能力熟练度上升仅有20不到。 Such promotion, too badly was too bad. 这样的提升,真的太差太差了。 At least, regarding never has been lower than Riegel that below 500 Proficiency grow, this value, really the mentalities of some stimulation people. 至少,对于从未有过低于500以下的熟练度成长的黎格而言,这個数值,着实有些刺激人的心态。 Riegel can only say to Ais: „Do not care, this was not your insufficient effort, only your Ability Value has almost arrived at the top.” 黎格只能对着艾丝说道:“别太在意,这不是你不够努力,只是你的能力值已经差不多到顶了而已。” Riegel is not deliberately comforting Ais. 黎格不是在刻意安慰艾丝。 In his opinion, Ais's growth so will be bad, main reason because of the growth of Ability Value to top. 在他看来,艾丝的成长之所以会这么差,最主要的原因就是因为能力值的成长到顶了。 『Power』 and 『Endurance』 are not ability that Ais excels, can in pairs upgraded to D-stage, be very good. 「力量」和「耐久」本就不是艾丝擅长的能力,能双双提升到D阶段,已经算是很不错的了。 『Dexterity』 and 『Agility』 had arrived at A-stage , to promote again is highest S-stage, according to more is close to S becoming a looks slower principle, the progress of this two abilities will be minimal, is purely normal. 「灵巧」和「敏捷」都已经到了A阶段,再提升上去就是最高的S阶段,根据越接近S就成长得越缓慢的原理,这两项能力的进步会微乎其微,纯属正常。 『Magic Power』 not to mention, only misses final 1 Proficiency is S-stage, surely does not have is so easy to rise. 「魔力」更不用说,只差最后的一点熟练度便是S阶段,肯定没那么容易升上去。 In summary, Ais this growth so will be bad, is not her reason, only, because she has almost come to the end in Lv.5 this Level. 综上所述,艾丝这次的成长会这么差,并不是她自身的原因,只是因为她已经在Lv.5这个等级差不多走到尽头了而已。 „..... I know.” “.....我知道。” Ais finally was the opens the mouth. 艾丝总算是开口了。 only, her sound like usually is not light, but is many are somewhat weak. 只是,她的声音不像平时那么平淡,而是多少有些无力。 „I of present stage have arrived withstood/top, even if cuts down several thousand and tens of thousands monsters again, Proficiency will not promote many, I can feel.” “现阶段的我已经到顶了,就算再砍倒几千、几万只怪物,熟练度也不会提升多少,我能感受到。” Currently, Ais already didn't have more space for growth. 现在的艾丝就已经没有成长的空间了。 Current Ability Value is Ais's limit, will not have too big room for growth. 目前的能力值便是艾丝的极限,不会有太大的发展余地。 Rises Lv.5 already three years, the named 『Bottleneck』 wall then kept off in the Ais front, making her have the considerable promotion very much difficultly again. 升上Lv.5已经三年有余,名为「瓶颈」的墙壁便挡在了艾丝的面前,让她很难再有可观的提升。 Ais realized this point, will feel to lose. 艾丝就是意识到了这一点,才会感到失落。 „You?” Ais has transferred the view, looks to Riegel, asked: „level up?” “你呢？”艾丝转过眼帘,看向黎格,问道:“升级了吗？” „Un.” Riegel is welcoming Ais's vision, nodded. “嗯。”黎格迎着艾丝的目光,点下了头。 „Really.” The Ais look became somewhat complex, said in a whisper: „only three months, you caught up with me.” “果然。”艾丝眼神变得有些复杂了起来,呢喃着道:“只是三个月的时间,你就追上我了。” This attack, placed this time, somewhat was really big. 这打击,放在这时候,着实有些大了。 But does not have the means that as looks at Riegel to rise helplessly to the present person, Ais is very clear, oneself were caught up with only sooner or later matter. 但没办法,作为眼睁睁看着黎格崛起到现在的人,艾丝很清楚,自己被追上只是迟早的事情。 No one understands Riegel's growth compared with her quickly, potential big. 没人比她更了解黎格的成长有多快,潜力有多大。 Thought back on initially, Riegel or Lv.1 time can a sword drive back, that time Ais then roughly relied on the intuition to understand, this with the similar man, will pursue quickly. 遥想当初,黎格还是Lv.1的时候就能一剑将自己逼退,那个时候的艾丝便大致凭借直觉理解到,这个与自己过于相似的男人,将会很快追上来。 Now, he achieved, oneself actually cannot widen the disparity, as before on the spot steps. 现在,他做到了,自己却没能拉开差距,依旧在原地踏步。 „How can?” “要怎样呢？” Ais couldn't help opening the mouth. 艾丝情不自禁的开口。 „What?” “什么？” Riegel is startled slightly. 黎格微微一怔。 Ais is actually staring is staring at him, said: „How can be able like you, such quick getting stronger?” 艾丝却是直勾勾的盯着他,道:“要怎样才能像你一样,这么快的变强呢？” This is since having seen Riegel's Ability Value, Ais has wanted to search the clear matter. 这是自从见过黎格的能力值以后,艾丝一直想探清的事情。 She accompanies Riegel to train actively, unretentive makes Riegel learn/study own Sword Skill, for the time being also has wants well observes Riegel, finds out his fast getting stronger the idea of know-how. 她那么积极的陪黎格对练,毫无保留的让黎格学习自己的剑技,姑且也有想好好的观察黎格,摸清他快速变强的窍门的想法。 only that but the result, Ais sees is running in extremely fast, unceasing advances, crawls upward, at an exceptional pace goes near oneself this domain, gradually the transformation is a true expert man. 可结果,艾丝看到的只是一个正在极速奔跑,不断的向前进,不停的往上爬,以惊人的速度接近自己这个领域,逐步蜕变为一名真正的强者的男人。 As for the know-how, her anything has not seen. 至于窍门,她什么都没有看到。 Originally, this aspiration, Ais will not definitely say. 原本,这种心声,艾丝肯定是不会说出来的。 But at this moment, Ais could not bear it is said, does not conceal oneself hope to the getting stronger. 但这一刻,艾丝忍不住将其说出来了,毫不掩饰自己对变强的渴望。 This makes Riegel at the scene silent. 这让黎格当场沉默。 „Sorry.” Awakening that Ais lags behind, fills with the apology looks at Riegel, said: „Asked lets the matter that you puzzle.” “对不起。”艾丝后知后觉的醒悟,满怀歉意的看着黎格,道:“问了些让你困扰的事情。” This issue, Riegel is really not good to reply. 这问题,黎格还真不好回答。 Cannot say, oneself what has not done, only every day diligently cut down monsters, on upgraded to this situation? 总不能说,自己什么都没做,只是每天努力砍怪而已,就提升到这个地步了吧？ This feared that is not hitting a person when he is down. 这怕不是在落井下石。 Therefore, Riegel reorganized a train of thought that just now makes noise again. 于是,黎格整理了一下思绪,方才再次出声。 „Actually, I can understand that you this type wants the idea of getting stronger urgently.” Riegel so said: „I am also like you, wants quickly getting stronger, becoming is stronger than anyone, this can realize my long-cherished wish.” “其实,我能理解伱这种迫切想要变强的想法。”黎格这般道:“我也跟你一样,很想赶快变强,变得比谁都强,这样才能实现我的夙愿。” „Long-cherished wish?” Ais successful was attracted. “夙愿？”艾丝成功的被吸引。 „Right.” Riegel indifferently said: „I want to get rid of others' control, gets rid of others' line of sight and planning, oneself want runs toward the direction and path that is no longer numb, no longer drifts with the current, was arranged.” “没错。”黎格淡淡的道:“我想摆脱别人的掌控,摆脱别人的视线及谋算,向着自己想要的方向和道路奔跑,不再麻木,不再随波逐流,被人安排。” This is the sentiment that only then Riegel understands, Ais does not understand. 这是只有黎格才懂的感情,艾丝是不懂的。 But heard „long-cherished wish” this word, Ais produced some resonances with Riegel. 但听到“夙愿”这个词,艾丝还是跟黎格产生了一些共鸣。 „Originally you with me same .....” “原来你跟我一样.....” Ais looks at Riegel's look becomes complex. 艾丝看着黎格的眼神变得更加的复杂。 She also has a long-cherished wish, or has wish to realize. 她也有个夙愿,或者说是有个悲愿想实现。 Therefore, she that urgent want to get stronger. 所以,她才那么迫切的想变强。 Riegel naturally knows this point, even knows in the Ais heart that for the long-cherished wish that others know is not anything. 黎格自然知道这一点,甚至知道艾丝心中那个不为他人所知的夙愿是什么。 Therefore, he can say such a few words. 因此,他才能说出这样的一句话。 „Our two as if look like in various aspects very much, but most looks like really should be this?” “我们两个在各方面似乎都很像,但最像的果然应该是这个吧？” The Riegel chuckle, the sound spread to Ais's ear. 黎格轻笑了一声,声音传入艾丝的耳中。 „We to realize the long-cherished wish in heart want to get stronger, therefore I really can understand your idea.” Riegel is gazing at Ais, said: „Pitifully , I do not only have the means to give you in this regard any mature suggestion, after all I am also trying to find out, only is luckier than you, gripped can realize the opportunity of goal, was really sorry very much.” “我们都是为了实现心中的夙愿才想变强,所以我真能理解你的想法。”黎格注视着艾丝,道:“只可惜,在这方面,我没办法给你什么成熟的建议,毕竟我自己也在摸索中,只是比你幸运一点,握住了可以实现目的的机会而已,真的很抱歉。” If there is any secret, Riegel will not be certainly parsimonious, is willing to give as much support as possible to Ais. 如果有什么秘诀的话,黎格一定不会吝啬,很愿意对艾丝倾囊相授。 But he does not have. 但他没有。 He can such fast growth, mainly because of the relations of 【Fool's Obsession】. 他能这么快速的成长,主要还是因为【愚者的执念】的关系。 This is unable to share to give others. 这是无法分享给他人的。 Therefore, Riegel definitely is unable to solve the worry and question in Ais heart. 因而,黎格完全无法解开艾丝心中的苦恼及疑问。 „The matter that I can handle only, like, listened attentively to your worry probably.” Riegel smiles, said: „If you had anything to say, had what unhappy matter, does not know that should say to whom, that said to me.” “我唯一能做的事情,大概就是像这样,倾听你的烦恼了。”黎格笑了笑,道:“如果你有什么想说的话,有什么不开心的事情,不知道该对谁说,那就对我说吧。” „If this can make you reduce points to be at a loss, reduces worriedly, I am willing to be this listener.” “如果这样能让你减少一点迷惘,减少一点苦恼,那我很愿意做这个倾听者。” these words and this speech, let Ais is also the gaze approached Riegel. 此言此语,让艾丝也是注视向了黎格。 Riegel has not turned away, looks at each other with Ais. 黎格没有移开视线,就这么与艾丝相视。 the eyes of the two didn't have the same color, but actually had the same emotion, the same obsession. 两人的眼眸没有相同的色彩,却有着相同的情感，相同的执念。 Looks that this to with the eye that are exactly the same, why does not know, Ais truly felt that the worry in heart was short of some. 看着这对与自己如出一辙的眼睛,不知为何,艾丝确实感觉心中的苦恼少了一些了。 „Thank you.” “谢谢你。” Ais took a deep breath, toward the Riegel expression of gratitude. 艾丝深吸了一口气,向着黎格道谢。 „Does not use.” Riegel looked at the Ais many dozen mind/energetic, then asked: „Takes easy?” “不用。”黎格看艾丝多少打起了一点精神,便问道:“想开了吗？” Ais nodded, will look at out of the window, golden eyes became strengthened. 艾丝点了点头,重新将目光投向窗外,金色的眼眸变得坚定了起来。 „space that since the present stage has not grown, then on going next stage.” “既然现阶段已经没有成长的空间了,那就前往下一个阶段吧。” These words are what meaning, Riegel cannot don't understand. 这句话是什么意思,黎格不会不明白。 „level up?” “升级吗？” This is the Ais only outlet. 这是艾丝唯一的出路。 Since had arrived at the end in Lv.5 this stage, arrives in the limit, is unable to have the little advance again, that Ais can only find the way to rise Lv.6. 既然在Lv.5这个阶段已经到了尽头,抵达极限,无法再有寸进,那艾丝只能想办法升上Lv.6。 Only has level up, the strength can leap forward sharply, own 『Vessel』 also sublimates peak, at the appointed time can glow more possibilities, glows the new potential. 只有升级,实力才能大幅跃进,自身的「器」也将极致升华,届时才能焕发更多的可能性,焕发新的潜力。 If cannot accomplish, Ais will not have the nice growth from now on again. 若是办不到,艾丝今后都不会再有像样的成长了。 „Come on.” Riegel is staring at setting firm resolve Ais, said: „If there is a place that the need I help, said although.” “加油。”黎格凝视着下定决心的艾丝,道:“如果有需要我帮忙的地方,尽管说。” He also can only give supports like this. 他也只能给出这样的支持了。 „Thanks.” “谢谢。” Ais expressed gratitude again. 艾丝再次道谢。 Looking of two people simultaneously to out of the window, no longer talked. 两人齐齐的望向窗外,不再对话。 The moonlight sprinkles, still hit in two people's bodies, for a very long time is not loose. 月光洒下,仍旧打在两人的身上,久久不散。 ...... ......
