In February 10758 , the San Lorenza snow started to melt, settles the business of Aslan special mountain, Gray finally stepped road that went to the black dragon city. 10758年2月,当圣洛伦萨的雪开始消融的时候,安顿好了阿兹兰特山的事务,格雷终于踏上了前往黑龙城的路。 „Respectable paladin your excellency: Hears your forthcoming news very much happily, the Gustav emperor is gratified for your decision, as well as appreciation. We are hoping for your arrival earnestly. Anticipated that we possibly decide the entire continent future meeting. Cedric V presents respectfully.” Cedric V sent in the brief reply. “尊敬的圣骑士阁下:很高兴听到您即将到来的消息,古斯塔夫的皇帝为您的决定感到欣慰,以及赞赏。我们热切地期盼着您的到来。期待我们可能决定整个大陆未来的会面。塞德里克五世敬上。”塞德里克五世发来了简短的回信。 The wind blows gently, the silver moon flag flutters with the wind. 风轻轻地吹,银月旗帜随风飘扬。 The melted snow in small stream is flowing trickle, Gray brings the silver moon knight group to walk between the pineries of white and green connection. 小溪里的雪水涓涓流淌着,格雷带着银月骑士团行走在白与绿交汇的松林间。 Also is one time „expedition”, but unlike passing innumerable, Gray the fire of soul looks somewhat weak. 又是一次“远征”,只不过与过往的无数次不同,格雷的灵魂之火看上去有些微弱。 „String tied up me, keeping me from running on the chase just path recklessly. I want to work loose it, is, is getting more and more tight.” “有一条绳子拴住了我,让我无法在追逐正义的道路上肆意奔跑。我想挣脱它,可是,却越来越紧。” „You have really thought works loose it?” black cat asked. “你真的想过挣脱它吗？”黑猫问。 „Haven't I wanted to work loose it?” Gray asked. “难道我没有想要挣脱它？”格雷反问道。 „Yes, you do not have. I am visit you to walk, too knew about you. You not only have not wanted to work loose it, even you are still resisting with it directly. Because you do not think by the lich status essentially, when paladin is a mistake, therefore, even is not willing to conceal, is not willing to lie to dispel the rumor for this reason. You are deliberately neglecting the forthcoming crisis, because you felt, once attaches great importance, then to this unreasonable surrender, then like others acknowledged that lich cannot become paladin.” “是的,你没有。我是看着你走过来的,对你实在太了解了。你不只没有想要挣脱它,甚至你还在与它正面对抗。因为你本质上并不认为以巫妖的身份当圣骑士是一种错误,所以,甚至不愿意掩饰,不愿意为此撒谎平息谣言。你在刻意地忽视即将到来的危机,因为你觉得一旦重视,便是向这种不合理的投降,便是像其他人一样承认巫妖不能成为圣骑士。” „Now I must go to the black dragon city, I surrendered, not?” “现在我必须去黑龙城了,我投降了,不是吗？” „No, you do not have. You have other innumerable methods to solve the problem. For example launches the war to the Gustav empire directly, destroys it. For example using the Vivian imaginary technique, making many people ‚see’ your true colors. For example makes a statement, denied the rumor. But you disdain in do that.” “不,你没有。你有其他无数种方法可以解决问题。例如直接对古斯塔夫帝国发动战争,搞垮它。例如运用薇薇安的幻术,让很多人都‘见过’你的真面目。例如发表一段谈话,否认谣言。可你都不屑于这么做。” „These will violate the doctrine.” “这些都会违反教义。” „Yes, but compares in the mistake that red clothes bishop violate, these are not anything. Has holy spirit had the attitude of accepting not?” “是的,但相比于红衣主教们犯下的错,这些都不算什么。圣灵一直都采取接受的态度不是吗？” „I am different from them!” Gray replied loudly. “我跟他们不同！”格雷高声答道。 „Therefore, you have not surrendered.” black cat stretches oneself in the armor said: „Sometimes I really do not know that should worry for your type stubbornly happily.” “所以,你还是没有投降。”黑猫在盔甲里伸了伸懒腰说道:“有时候我真不知道应该为你这种倔强担忧还是欣慰。” „I become paladin, to not track down justice? If I also turn into such person, before then did, what significance also there is?” “我成为圣骑士,难道不是为了追寻正义吗？如果我也变成那样的人,那么之前所做的,又有什么意义呢？” black cat actually wants saying: „Initially you became the knight pat the brain decision, but in order to wears the armor to discover own lich status. Now actually wants, for paladin doesn't hesitate to brave the exposed status the danger?” 黑猫其实很想说:“当初你成为骑士就是拍脑子决定的,只是为了能穿上盔甲不让人发现自己巫妖的身份而已。现在却要为了当好一个圣骑士而不惜冒着暴露身份的危险？” Naturally, he has not said eventually. Meow is born with is such marvelous, the countless words, can only collect finally make a sigh. 当然,他终究没有说出口。喵生就是这么奇妙,千言万语,最终只能汇作一声叹息。 Ties up Gray is really only the lich status? No, he regarding doctrine, sacred belief, the focus of knight pledge. Perhaps these are he tie up his rope truly. But black cat also from most starts is unable to prevent, to arrive now is not cruel enough to prevent. Only can look at Gray to continue step by step, forwards. 拴住格雷的真的只是巫妖的身份吗？不,还有他对于教义,神圣信仰,骑士誓约的执着。或许这些才是他真正拴住他的绳索。而黑猫也从最开始的无法阻止,走到了如今的不忍心阻止。只能看着格雷继续一步步地,向前。 Catherine had returned to side Shelley and Richie at the request of Gray , to continue to help Gray take care of his family member. Vivian continues to run everywhere back and forth, is Gray collects various information. 凯瑟琳已经在格雷的要求下回到了雪莱和里奇身旁,继续帮格雷看顾他的家人。薇薇安则继续四处来回奔走着,为格雷收集各种情报。 For some reasons, everyone started to evade the subject to the topic. 因为某些原因,大家都开始对一些话题避而不谈了。 The Gustav empire is vast in territory, but, San Lorenza and distance between black dragon cities is not far. Even the normal speed, still has had more than enough to spare for half a month. 古斯塔夫帝国幅员辽阔,不过,圣洛伦萨和黑龙城之间的距离并不远。即使是正常的速度,半个月也已经绰绰有余了。 Holy Calendar 10758 years in early March, Gray appeared in the surrounding of black dragon city finally tranquilly. Yes, „tranquil”. 圣历10758年3月初,格雷终于平静地出现在了黑龙城的外围。是的,“平静”。 ...... …… The black dragon city, actually more specifically, should be the black dragon port, is one by the sea city. Plain situated on two river connection. 黑龙城,其实更准确地说,应该是黑龙港,是一座靠海的城市。位于两条大河交汇的平原上。 The black construction overspread the entire plain, black dragon scale same , has some rule probably a piece by piece unevenly, probably the graph in the land drawing. The slit of middle scale is paths. Center is grand, probably dragon nest same Gustav imperial palace. 黑色的建筑铺满了整个平原,就好像一片片黑色的龙鳞一样,凹凸不平地,却又有着某种规律,像是在大地上绘出的图形。中间鳞片的缝隙是一条条的道路。正中则是宏伟的,好像龙巢一样的古斯塔夫皇宫。 That is one with the lion palace entirely different palace. The lion palace area is actually not big, but the floor is very high. Each building are least is over four. Gustav imperial palace, is more like a spreading out fortress. 那是一座与狮王宫截然不同的宫殿。狮王宫占地面积其实并不大,但楼层都特别高。每一栋建筑最少都是四层以上。古斯塔夫皇宫,则更像是一座摊开的堡垒。 Probably the dragon ridge/spine column is equally giant, brings the thick fence of joint, has to soar to the heavens black „spur” the huge construction of decoration, wants to be huger than time of large-scale garden the construction and school ground, even in imperial palace, big „inland sea”, is colluding the sea through the long and narrow small-scale canal. In the inland sea, there is a harbor of small scale. 好像龙脊柱一样巨大的,带着关节的厚实围墙,有着冲天黑色“骨刺”装饰的庞大建筑,比建筑要庞大许多倍的大型庭院、校场,甚至皇宫之中,还有一个不小的“内海”,通过狭长的小型运河勾连着海洋。内海之中,有一个小规模的港口。 Stands looked on the mountain from afar downward, the Gustav imperial palace open areas that seems center the black dragon city to break open is the same, formed the sharp contrast with the surrounding building-filled region. 站在山上远远地往下看,古斯塔夫皇宫就好像黑龙城正中破开的一块块空地一样,与周围建筑密集的区域形成了鲜明的对比。 Actually strict, the black dragon city is not the largest city of Gustav empire. The true largest city should be San Lorenza. After all San Lorenza is the Holy Synod location, is having the entire continent power of church, is the Gustav empire inland trade center, has the huge non-native population. However, if on a size basis, the black dragon city actually be greatly more than San Lorenza, the most important part, is the military. 其实严格来说,黑龙城并不是古斯塔夫帝国的第一大城市。真正的第一大城市应该是圣洛伦萨。毕竟圣洛伦萨是教廷的所在地,掌握着整个大陆的教权,也是古斯塔夫帝国内陆贸易的中枢,有着庞大的外来人口。不过,如果从规模上看,黑龙城却要比圣洛伦萨大不少,其中最重要的一环,是军事。 Not only the black dragon city the political center of Gustav empire, is the Gustav empire most important military center, in fact is a border city. 黑龙城不只是古斯塔夫帝国的政治中心,还是古斯塔夫帝国最重要的军事中心,实际上是个边境城市。 The southeast side of black dragon city is the harbor and sea, the northeast is the Wicks mountain range of reaching to the sky, separates Waco continent and north. The west and southwest side are own national territory, the northwest side, is the archenemy Rumbach empire of Gustav empire. 黑龙城的东南面是港口和大海,东北面则是高耸入云的威克斯山脉,将大陆与北方的一个小国维克隔断。西面和西南面是自己的国土,西北面,则是古斯塔夫帝国的大敌伦巴克帝国。 In other words, as the black dragon city of capital, separated the Rumbach empire's road to lead to sea, turned into a land locked country the Rumbach empire thoroughly. Rumbach empire so-called „makes a connection with the southern trade pass”, is actually to attack and occupy the capital of Gustav empire...... 换句话说,作为首都的黑龙城,隔断了伦巴克帝国通向海洋的路,将伦巴克帝国彻底地变成了一个内陆国家。伦巴克帝国所谓的“打通南方贸易通道”,其实就是要攻占古斯塔夫帝国的首都…… This was also Gustav and vagabonds country for several thousand years the root of conflict. Benefits from the help of Holy Synod, Gustav empire country, had had in 3000. In these 3000, opposite nomadic country has traded several rounds, but any, taking the black dragon city as biggest strategic target. 这也是古斯塔夫和游民国家数千年来争端的根源了。得益于教廷的帮助,古斯塔夫帝国这个国家,已经存在了3000年。在这3000年当中,对面的游牧国家已经换了好几轮了,但无论是哪一个,都会将拿下黑龙城作为最大的战略目标。 Since nowadays Rumbach empire, without doubt had been over the past 3000 years the most powerful nomadic empire, therefore, the front was also advanced the main house gate mouth of Gustav empire. 现如今的伦巴克帝国,无疑是过去3000年以来最强大的游牧帝国,所以,战线也被推到了古斯塔夫帝国的家门口。 Stands looks in the high place, around the black dragon city is the military compounds, is having large quantities of armies. The northeast covered entirely various types such as the castle, city wall, foothold and sentry post and so on military construction, a dense big piece. That area, even is bigger than black dragon city's area. 站在高处看,黑龙城四面都是军营,驻扎着大批的军队。东北面更是布满了各种诸如城堡、城墙、据点、岗哨之类的军事建筑,黑压压的一大片。那面积,甚至比黑龙城本身的面积还大。 The peace is only temporary, the war possibly breaks out at any time. After all, the Rumbach empire launches the war always not to need the reason, strives for the estuary as well as with the southern trade huge profit, is in itself the reason. They launch the war not to need to Holy Synod to report, because they do not believe in the Saint to teach from the start. 和平只是暂时的,战争随时都可能爆发。毕竟,伦巴克帝国发动战争从来都不需要理由,争取出海口以及与南方贸易的巨大利润,本身就是理由。他们发动战争也不需要向教廷报备,因为他们压根不信奉圣教。 Gray brings the silver moon knight group, stands calmly looks on the black dragon city west surface hump. 格雷带着银月骑士团,站在黑龙城西面的山岗上静静地看着。 The silver moon flag in his flutters behind gently. 银月的旗帜在他的身后轻轻飘扬。 „Respectable Sir paladin, sees you very much happily! I am the emperor aide officer of! Is ordered to come to meet you!” A knight, brings to dress ranks the cavalry to arrive at the Gray front, salutes to Gray respectfully. “尊敬的圣骑士大人,很高兴见到您！我是皇帝陛下的侍从官！奉命前来接您！”一位骑士,带着一整队骑兵来到格雷的面前,恭敬地向格雷行了个礼。 „good work.” Gray lowered the head in the chest front delimited a cross. “辛苦了。”格雷低头在胸前划了个十字架。 Under the aide officer's leadership, the silver moon knight rolled enters a city enormously and powerful. 在侍从官的带领下,银月骑士团浩浩荡荡地进城了。 „Well? Isn't the silver moon flag, the silver moon knight group?” “咦？银月旗帜,不会是银月骑士团吧？” „Puts on of gray armor is paladin Gray? Why others are the silver armor, does he wear the gray armor?” “穿着灰色盔甲的那个就是圣骑士格雷吗？为什么其他人都是银色盔甲,就他穿灰色盔甲呢？” „Did not say that he is lich?” “不是说他是巫妖吗？” „How will they run here?” “他们怎么会跑这里来？” „Mom! Comes out to look at lich quickly!” “妈妈！快出来看巫妖啦！” „Bastard! You are saying anything! Your this is slanders! Slanders paladin to go to hell!” Hot tempered Greathammer was mad to roar. However, is not useful. Comes to lead their troops not to seem to hear to be the same, Gray does not dispute, the silver moon knights are also silent, whatever the residents in black dragon city create a disturbance. Reprimanding of Greathammer, only brought in one to roar with laughter, smiles the face of Greathammer purple. “混蛋！你们在说什么！你们这是污蔑！污蔑圣骑士是要下地狱的！”暴躁的棒槌气得咆哮了起来。然而,并没有什么用。前来引领他们的骑兵队就好像没听到一样,格雷不辩驳,银月骑士们也一个个沉默着,任由黑龙城的居民起哄。棒槌的斥责,只引来了一阵哄堂大笑,笑得棒槌的脸都紫掉了。 The black dragon city arrives regarding Gray, as if no preparation. Most residents do not know. Naturally, this heart that does not hinder them to watch the fun. People start from well up in all directions, pushes watertight the street. 黑龙城对于格雷到来,似乎全无准备。绝大多数的居民并不知道。当然,这也不妨碍他们看热闹的心。人们开始从四面八方涌来,将街道挤得水泄不通。 After all, Gray is person who shakes entire continent. 毕竟,格雷可是名震整个大陆的人。 The soldier who comes to lead is maintaining order also to do very much not well, the scene is chaotic, even some people put out a hand to clutch the beard of Greathammer. 前来引领的士兵在维持秩序方面也做得很不好,场面乱糟糟的,甚至有人伸手去揪棒槌的胡子。 „You said that he is really lich? If lich, why can bring honor to the doctrine everywhere?” “你说他真是巫妖吗？如果是巫妖的话,为什么要四处弘扬教义呢？” „What big conspiracy perhaps has also perhaps, after all, does he control the church now not? This is part of evil plan.” “也许是有什么大阴谋也说不定,毕竟,他现在控制了教会不是吗？这是邪恶计划的一部分。” „Why can he reduce teaches the tax?” “那他为什么要削减教税呢？” „Perhaps to lull us, or tempers the Holy Synod strength. In brief, certainly is what conspiracy.” “也许是为了麻痹我们,或者削弱教廷的力量。总之,一定是什么阴谋。” „Mother mother, why can paladin lead one group of dwarves? These dwarves are the diabolists envoy?” “妈妈妈妈,为什么圣骑士要带着一群矮人呢？那些矮人是恶魔派来的使者吗？” black cat hates the tooth itchy: „This is I have seen, most did not have the civilians of quality. They dare to work as your discussing in person to discuss this topic unexpectedly. If you are lich, they shouldn't be afraid run away?” 黑猫都恨得牙痒痒的了:“这是我见过的,最没素质的平民了。他们居然敢当着你的面议论这个话题。如果你是巫妖的话,他们不是应该害怕地逃走吗？” Gray had not replied, does not seem to hear to be the same, is riding a horse as before, marches forward slowly. 格雷没有回答,就好像没有听到一样,依旧骑着马,继续缓缓向前。 Passes through intersection time, a boy shouted loudly one: „All crime bad end will criticize, all souls will certainly sublimate. The sunlight shines each corner, cannot accommodate the tiny bit shadow! The justice must win!” Then throws a stone toward Gray. That stone lost leaning, pounded on the Gray side Carl's forehead. „Dang”. 走过十字路口的时候,一个男孩高喊了一句:“所有的罪恶终将清算,所有的灵魂必将升华。阳光照耀每一个角落,容不下一丝一毫的阴影！正义必胜！”然后朝着格雷丢过来一块石头。那石头丢偏了,砸到了格雷身旁卡尔的脑门上。“咣当”一声。 „Do you do?” The received and instructed soldier opened the mouth finally, however, time in an instant, the boy has submerged in the crowd. “你干什么？”接引的士兵总算开口了,然而,一转眼的功夫,男孩已经淹没在人群之中。 „Oh! This they do not manage? This is I have seen worst welcome ceremony. No, this even can be said as a shame!” black cat started to rub the claw. “天哪！这他们都不管的吗？这是我见过最糟糕的欢迎仪式。不,这甚至可以说是一种羞辱！”黑猫都开始磨爪子了。 Vivian has been mad results in a few words unable to say. 薇薇安已经气得一句话都说不出来。 In such discussion, Gray passed through the long street, finally before arriving at the Gustav imperial palace front door . 就在这样的议论中,格雷走过了长长的街道,终于来到了古斯塔夫皇宫大门前。 The surrounded civilians were scattered finally, the silver moon knight rolls by half a month in Gray behind the array. Opposite of Gray, another side of imperial palace moat is standing, is puts on the white to teach Gustav bishop of robe. 围观的平民们终于被驱散了,银月骑士团以半月型在格雷身后列阵。格雷对面,皇宫护城河的另一边站着的,则是穿着白色教袍的古斯塔夫主教。 Silver-haired Gustav bishop is raising the lower hem, leaned on the scepter to pass through the bridge step by step, arrived in front of Gray, lowers the head delimited a cross in own chest front devotionally. 白发苍苍的古斯塔夫主教提着衣摆,拄着权杖一步步走过了桥梁,来到格雷面前,低下头虔诚地在自己的胸前划了个十字架。 „Disciple Sir, is honored to see you very much. The emperor in the imperial palace you, has please come with me.” “圣徒大人,很荣幸见到您。皇帝陛下已经在皇宫里等您了,请跟我来。” „Good, thank you.” Gray also lowers the head slightly, delimited a cross in the chest front devotionally, then dismounts, gradually moves toward the imperial palace with Gustav bishop. “好的,感谢您。”格雷也微微低头,虔诚地在胸前划了个十字架,然后下马,跟着古斯塔夫主教一步步走向皇宫。 Carl wants to follow, was actually blocked by the guard. 卡尔想跟上,却被侍卫一把拦了下来。 „Sorry, your majesty wants to see, only then Sir paladin.” “抱歉,陛下想见的只有圣骑士大人。” Carl looked to Gray. 卡尔望向了格雷。 Gray has looked back his one eyes, slight nod. Carl will then draw back in the future one step. 格雷回过头看了他一眼,微微点头。卡尔这才往后退了一步。 Follows Gustav bishop, Gray walks toward the imperial palace in step by step. 跟着古斯塔夫主教,格雷一步步地往皇宫里走。 This is Gray has seen without a doubt, grandest, the architectural complex of most atmosphere. Perhaps is on entire continent is also broadest, the architectural complex of most atmosphere. Standing is one of them, you can fully feel own tiny, probably a grain of sand is the same. Constructs, is the city wall and school ground, or is the garden, is manifesting characteristics together, greatly. Big and rough, plain architectural style. 这毫无疑问是格雷所见过的,最最宏伟,最最大气的建筑群了。也许也是整个大陆上最恢弘,最大气的建筑群。站在其中,你可以充分感觉到自己的渺小,就好像一粒沙子一样。无论是建筑,还是城墙、校场,又或者是庭院,都共同地体现着一个特色,大。大而粗犷,古朴的建筑风格。 However, Gray apparently does not have the thoughts to appreciate these, thoughts do not have. 不过,格雷显然已经没心思欣赏这些了,一点心思都没有。 Finally, under the leadership of Gustav bishop, he arrived before center the Gustav imperial palace main building. 终于,在古斯塔夫主教的带领下,他来到了位于古斯塔夫皇宫正中的主楼前。 That is a scale is huge, probably extends from the place bottom, crawls huge black dragon head the construction in ground, is first narrow then extends. Great wedge thorns that go against, seeming like same on probably dragon corner/horn. Gray needs to climb up 100 levels of steps along „dragon tongue” step by step, then before can arrive in the front door of main building . 那是一座规模庞大,像是一个从地底伸出来,匍匐在地面上的巨大黑龙头的建筑,先窄而后宽。顶上的一根根巨木尖刺,看上去就好像一个个龙角一样。格雷需要沿着“龙舌”一步步攀爬一百级的阶梯,然后才能抵达主楼的大门前。 This alone building, is equivalent to the architectural complex of Lion Capital entire Pierce cathedral. 这独一栋建筑,就相当于狮王都整个皮尔斯大教堂的建筑群。 A guard arrives in front of Gray and bishop, extended both hands. 一名卫兵走到格雷和主教面前,伸出了双手。 bishop said in a soft voice: „Disciple Sir, please hand over your weapon. The black dragon palace, no one can bring the weapon to go, except for your majesty as well as his own health/guard.” 主教轻声说道:“圣徒大人,请将您的武器交出来。黑龙殿,没有任何人可以带武器进去,除了陛下本人以及他的亲卫。” Gray put out a hand to loosen own saber, gave nearby soldier, then the starting to walk footsteps, started to climb up along the spacious steps. Looks from afar, his form compared to the broad in scale black dragon palaces, is almost tiny can ignore. 格雷伸手解下了自己的佩剑,交给一旁的士兵,然后迈开脚步,独自一人沿着宽敞的阶梯开始攀爬。远远看去,他那身影相对于规模宏大的黑龙殿,渺小得几乎可以忽略不计。 The wind is blowing gently, rolls up and pushes along the black dragon flag of representative Gustav imperial family the high place is hanging. 风轻轻地吹着,卷动着高处悬挂的代表古斯塔夫皇室的黑龙旗帜。 Finally, Gray stepped finally the first-level steps, starts to walk toward in along the black rug step by step. 终于,格雷踏上了最后一级阶梯,开始沿着黑色的地毯一步步地往里走。 The both sides are standing fragmentarily several wear heavy armor, wore the emperor own health/guard of weapon. 两侧零星地站着几个穿着重甲,佩戴了武器的皇帝亲卫。 The black dragon palace, is a structure of rectangle , Gray has seen the resplendent in gold and jade green main hall deep place from afar, sat the Cedric V above throne high. Like an ambush in the Evil Dragon of hidden place. 黑龙殿,是一个长方形的结构,远远地,格雷已经看到金碧辉煌的大殿深处,高坐皇位之上的塞德里克五世了。就像一头潜伏在暗处的恶龙。
