Day day-by-day. 日子又是一天天地过。 In an instant, incomparably long in January/one month has passed to Jones. 转眼之间,对琼斯来说无比漫长的一月已经过去。 Elven Calendar fifth records for 2 years, the silver moon 2 years, in February/two months. 精灵历第五纪二年,银月二年,二月。 While in the Colin peninsula the new student/life blood group feudal lord still to repay a debt to rush about, to produce the turnover of first 20,000 gold coin likes, lich king Gray Gregory all have been ready, started his important matter. 正当科林半岛上新生的血族领主还在为还债而奔波,为产生的第一笔两万金币的营业额而欢喜的时候,巫妖王格雷・格鲁格鲁已经一切准备就绪,开始了他的大计。 „Saint light should shine each lands, including the Gustav empire. I, lich king Gray Gregory, ordering a black dragon clan immediately to give up the control to the Gustav empire, stopped enslaving there people. Meanwhile, advised politely the leader of laws in Gustav empire, stopped your stupid and ignorant behaviors, returned on the just path, accepted shining of Saint light. If you do not accept, white bones Saint light Holy Synod, in the name of just, will purify you thoroughly!” “圣光应该照耀每一片土地,包括古斯塔夫帝国。我,巫妖王格雷・格鲁格鲁,勒令黑龙一族立即放弃对古斯塔夫帝国的控制,停止奴役那里的人民。同时,也奉劝古斯塔夫帝国的执政者,停止你们愚昧无知的行为,重新回到正义的道路上,接受圣光的照耀。如若你们不接受,白骨圣光教廷,将以正义的名义,彻底净化你们！” This was the ultimatum. 这算是最后通牒了吧。 In fact, before then, the north and south on play out. This ultimatum, but situation anxious raised one again upward. It indicated the tolerance of lich king limited, will not accept the unlimited dragging. Meanwhile, is equal to telling all people again, in the differences of this north and south, white bones Saint light Holy Synod consistently stands in the absolute driving position, now, white bones Saint light Holy Synod must launch the attack. 事实上,在这之前,南北双方就已经剑拔弩张了。这封最后通牒,只不过是将局势的紧张再往上拔高了一层而已。它表明了巫妖王的容忍是有限度的,不会接受无限期的拖延。同时,也等于再次告诉所有的民众,在这场南北双方的分歧之中,白骨圣光教廷始终站在绝对的主动位置上,现在,白骨圣光教廷要发动进攻了。 Meanwhile, although the leaders of laws in Gustav empire stop by any means possible, Gustav empire residual previous Holy Synod influence, is collapsing at the extremely quick speed as before. 与此同时,虽然古斯塔夫帝国的执政者千方百计地制止,古斯塔夫帝国内部残留的先前教廷势力,依旧以极快的速度在崩溃。 This is very strange, not? 这很诡异,不是吗？ When Holy Synod is strong, the Gustav emperor competes for the power and influence with Holy Synod by any means possible, even does not hesitate to expose the Gray status to threaten as the chip. However, when Gray stand in human Holy Synod legitimate position, the Gustav emperor has to support and heaven by any means possible is maintaining Holy Synod of relations, although it affects minimal. 当教廷强势的时候,古斯塔夫的皇帝千方百计跟教廷争夺权势,甚至不惜以揭露格雷身份作为筹码进行威胁。然而,当格雷站到人类教廷正统的位置上时,古斯塔夫的皇帝又不得不千方百计地扶持与天堂维持着关系的教廷,尽管其作用微乎其微。 Matter of Port Salted Fish has spread over entire continent, including the Gustav empire. Holy Synod including the Pope and cardinal institute and paladin core person in power, had it all by Gray in Port Salted Fish. 咸鱼港发生的事情已经传遍了整个大陆,包括古斯塔夫帝国。教廷包括教宗、枢机院、圣骑士在内的核心当权者,更是在咸鱼港被格雷一锅端了。 What when the heaven was unable to make for the Holy Synod prestige, what dragon can clan make? 当天堂都已经无法为教廷的声望做些什么的时候,龙族又能做什么呢？ The southern army has set out, but has not waited for them to set foot on the northern land, the Gustav empire has started to disintegrate. The war in human seemed to have ended ahead of schedule, is only left over the core region that the Gustav imperial family controls also to continue to persevere. 南方的大军已经开拔,而还没等他们踏上北方的土地,古斯塔夫帝国内部就已经开始分崩离析了。人类方面的战争似乎已经提早结束,只剩下古斯塔夫皇室控制的核心地带还继续坚守着。 ...... …… „Therefore, now in fact was undead and war of dragon clan right?” Jones asked. “所以,现在实际上就是亡灵与龙族的战争了对吗？”琼斯问。 „Cannot say.” Richie protection Gabriel Delia replied low voice: „Dragon clan is divided black dragon and gold dragon. Is controlling the Gustav empire secretly, is a black dragon clan. However a gold dragon clan has the treaty of alliance with a black dragon clan, although their interior also fights frequently, but really has the treaty of alliance. According to treaty of alliance, if a black dragon clan were attacked by the foreign enemy, a gold dragon clan must support full power. Now Sir paladin is making the enemy turn in trying only has a black dragon clan, rather than entire dragon clan. Otherwise, even the undead regiment involves, will still be strenuous.” “不能这么说。”里奇的守护迪莉娅小声答道:“龙族分黑龙和金龙。在幕后控制着古斯塔夫帝国的,是黑龙一族。但是金龙一族跟黑龙一族有盟约,虽然他们内部也经常打架,但确实有盟约。按照盟约,如果黑龙一族遭受外敌攻击,金龙一族必须全力支援。现在圣骑士大人正在设法让敌人变成只有黑龙一族,而非整个龙族。否则的话,即使亡灵军团介入,也会非常吃力。” „Before I remember the lich advisory council, has made war with the dragon clan?” “我记得巫妖评议会以前跟龙族开战过？” „Yes. Finally fights to a draw, but from the record, early the lich advisory council actually drops the wind. The time is long, means that the casualties are serious. undead does not fear the casualties, but human feared. You must acknowledge, dragon Zuzhen is very intrepid. But if the opponent is only a black dragon clan, can win.” “是的。最后打了个平手,但从记录上看,早期巫妖评议会其实是落下风的。时间一长,意味着伤亡惨重。亡灵不怕伤亡,但人类怕。你得承认,龙族真的很强悍。但是如果对手只是黑龙一族的话,就能赢。” „Good, sounding human is the pig teammate.” Helpless Jones shrugged. “好吧,听上去人类就是个猪队友。”琼斯无奈摊了摊手。 „Justice” this thing, the biggest weakness is it does not take the benefit as the guidance, therefore in many issues, actually suffers a loss. Very regrettable, Gray perseveres is the justice. He can accept to split up black dragon and gold dragon probably is lucky. “正义”这玩意,最大的弱点就是它并不以利益为导向,所以在很多问题上,其实是吃亏的。很遗憾,格雷坚守的就是正义。大概他能接受分化黑龙与金龙已经是万幸了吧。 Under dim light of night, Serpent City „moat” the water lightly drainings is flowing. From some perspective, that looks like a small stream, rather than anything „moat”. 夜色下,巨蛇城“护城河”的水淅沥沥地流动着。从某种角度来说,那更像一条小溪,而不是什么“护城河”。 Nearby woods are dragging in the wind gently, in the dwarf village of distant place hears the laughing sound once for a while. 旁边树林在风中轻轻摇曳着,远处的矮人村庄里时不时地传来欢笑声。 Another side refinery has constructed half. These were used in the dwarf slave in refinery also arriving, was placed in the dwarf village. Naturally, they also obtained the free body promise of Jones, but the specific matter must wait to see the surface with Adolf, discussed again. 另一边的提炼厂已经建了一半。那些用于提炼厂的矮人奴隶也已经到了,被安置在矮人村庄里。当然,他们也得到了琼斯的自由身许诺,只不过具体事宜还必须等跟阿道夫见到面了,再行商讨。 As for Jones, then moved the table chair to sit in city gate. Because came out from the mine tunnel, the dirt of whole face, a live image labor, is a child laborer, rather than what blood group young master. 至于琼斯,则搬了桌子椅子坐在城门口。由于刚刚从矿坑里出来,满脸的污垢,活像个民工,还是个童工,而不是什么血族少爷。 Dora one such as stood side him in the past. 朵拉一如往昔地站在他身旁。 Delia has two pieces of white wings, is sending out the gentle white light from top to bottom. Has her here, Jones even saved the flare. 迪莉娅拥有着两片白色的羽翼,浑身上下都散发着柔和的白光。有她在这里,琼斯甚至连火把都省了。 Silent some little time, Jones asked: „On the other hand, you? I mean you and Catherine, Abbott. The heaven with Gray......, I means Sir paladin. The heaven has torn to pieces the facial skin with Sir paladin, what to do do you prepare?” 沉默了好一会,琼斯问道:“话说回来,你们怎么样了？我是说你、凯瑟琳,还有艾博德。天堂跟格雷……嗯,我是说圣骑士大人。天堂跟圣骑士大人已经撕破了脸皮,你们准备怎么办呢？” „Not what to do.” Delia replied: „Guardian angel must support each other with own contract knight, this is the pledge, the standpoint because of heaven will not change. We will only violate vowing in the pledger, after falling into the darkness, departs. Richie and Sir paladin how, regardless to see, has not fallen into the darkness. Now the standpoint of heaven also not completely unified.” “没有怎么办。”迪莉娅答道:“守护天使必须与自己的契约骑士相守,这是誓约,不会因为天堂的立场而改变。我们只会在誓约者违背誓言,堕入黑暗之后才离去。里奇和圣骑士大人无论怎么看,都没有堕入黑暗。况且,现在天堂的立场也并没有完全统一。” „, Right?” Jones thinks, then asked suddenly: „Therefore, Richie makes you look for me, to let you told me these?” “哦,是吗？”琼斯想了想,又忽然转而问道:“所以,里奇让你来找我,就是为了让你告诉我这些？” „How Richie made me come to see you, greeted you.” “里奇让我来看看你怎么样了,问候一下你。” „Thanks him for me.” “替我谢谢他。” „Also, he makes me ask when you prepare to go back, the war is about to begin, don't you prepare to follow Sir paladin to go to battle?” “还有,他让我问你准备什么时候回去,大战在即,你不准备跟着圣骑士大人出征吗？” „Eh......” Jones looked at one toward the surroundings, shrugged, helpless smiles: „You saw, I also some lot must be done now here, temporarily cannot get out of the way. Moreover...... you did not think that I do go to battle with nothing so-called? I cannot help in any case.” “额……”琼斯朝着周围看了一眼,摊了摊手,无奈笑了笑:“你看到了,我现在在这里还有很多事情要做,暂时走不开。而且……你不觉得我出不出征都没什么所谓吗？反正我也帮不上什么忙。” Saying, but also wiped a face with the towel. Because the towel is gray, therefore this wipes, on face also not necessarily clean. 说着,还用毛巾抹了一把脸。因为毛巾本身已经是灰色的了,所以这一抹,脸上也不见得就干净。 „But you have certain representative significance.” Delia said: „You are Sir paladin the nominal adopted son, you can play the role that others cannot play in the army.” “但你有一定的代表意义。”迪莉娅说道:“你是圣骑士大人名义上的养子,你在军中能起到别人起不到的作用。” „Perhaps.” Jones sips the lip to smile, no longer spoke. “也许吧。”琼斯抿着唇微笑着,就不再说话了。 Useful? The people of lich regiment do not even know that has his such individual, owed he also to recognize the lich name with great difficulty entire. The result is only he knows others, others do not know him. Wrote a letter to seek help previous time has confirmed this point. 有用吗？巫妖军团的人甚至都不知道有他这么个人,亏他还好不容易把巫妖们的名字都认全了。结果只是他认识人家,人家并不认识他。上一次写信求助已经验证了这一点。 In front of these big lich, he is an out-and-out unimportant person. 在这些大巫妖们面前,他就是个不折不扣的小人物而已。 both sides on are so silent. 双方就这么沉默着。 Hydra finds out half from the castle suddenly, said in a soft voice: „Small bat, did you have the friend to come? Why did not introduce that I do know?” 九头蛇忽然从城堡里探出半个头来,轻声说道:“小蝙蝠,你有朋友来了吗？为什么不介绍我认识呢？” „Hydra!” Delia frightened fiercely retroceded, showed the posture of alert. “九头蛇！”迪莉娅吓得猛地后退了一段,摆出戒备的姿势。 „Hey! Calm! Calm!” Jones stood hastily, gesticulating both hands is hinting Delia to be calm: „This is my friend, you are also my friend.” “嘿！冷静！冷静！”琼斯连忙站了起来,比划着双手示意迪莉娅镇定:“这是我朋友,你也是我朋友。” „Are you friend with Hydra?” “你跟九头蛇做朋友？” „Is blood group the friend to have the issue with Hydra?” “血族跟九头蛇做朋友有问题？” Also refused to compromise a meeting, thought probably Jones said reasonable, Delia fell from the midair slowly. However, an eye looks in the Hydra direction as before once for a while, time on the alert. 又是僵持了一会,大概是觉得琼斯说得有道理吧,迪莉娅才从半空中缓缓的落了下来。不过,一双眼睛依旧时不时地往九头蛇的方向望,时刻警惕着。 „Relax, she is really my friend.” Helpless, Jones can only also emphasize. “放心,她真是我朋友。”无奈,琼斯只能又强调了一遍。 „I had not suspected that she is your friend, I am only...... am only......” am only anything, Delia could not say. Arrived can only say finally: „If you are not willing to go back temporarily, I illuminated you to reply Richie.” “我并没怀疑她是你朋友,我只是……只是……”只是什么,迪莉娅也说不出来。到最后只能说道:“如果你暂时不愿意回去的话,我就照你的话回复里奇了。” „Good, replies him. Told Richie, I was unimportant, he was important. I am only an adopted son, he is the Gray biological son. He can do are much more than me.” “好的,就这么回复他吧。告诉里奇,我不重要,他才重要。我只是养子,他才是格雷的亲生儿子。他可以做的比我多得多。” „Good, I will tell him.” Delia received the god, salutes toward Jones, then launched the wing to fly. In an instant, has vanished in the nighttime sky. “好的,我会告诉他。”迪莉娅收了收神,向着琼斯行了个礼,然后展开翅膀飞了起来。转眼之间,已经消失在夜空之中了。 Until Delia vanishes thoroughly, Jones aspirates slowly, sat. Lowers the head continues to clean the Hydra badge that the cask was just building with the arrange/cloth gently. 直到迪莉娅彻底消失,琼斯才缓缓吐了口气,重新坐了下去。低头用布继续轻轻擦拭着酒桶刚打造出来的九头蛇徽章。 „Small bat, your friend may not have the previous interest. Moreover as if is not friendly.” “小蝙蝠,你的这位朋友可没有上一位有趣。而且似乎并不怎么友好。” „Fortunately. Perhaps did the time grow well? You must know, she is an angel. The instinct always has.” “还好吧。也许时间长了就好了呢？你要知道,她是个天使。本能总是有的。” „Why you can is not only the friend with lich, and is the friend with the angel?” “你为什么会既跟巫妖做朋友,又跟天使做朋友呢？” „Actually I am also the friend with the devil, elf, dwarf and Hydra.” “其实我还跟恶魔做朋友,还有精灵、矮人、九头蛇。” „Yes?” “是嘛？” „Yes, but am I their friends I do not know.” Jones shrugged, lowers the head gently the tone, then continued to make an effort to clean with the towel. “是的,不过我算不算他们的朋友我就不知道了。”琼斯耸了耸肩,低下头轻轻呵了口气,然后用毛巾继续用力擦拭着。 „I, when you are a friend, I believe that you will certainly become the great blood group feudal lord.” “我当你是朋友,我相信你一定会成为伟大的血族领主。” „Thank you, Madame. Perhaps I only then am here important, I should stay am needing my place truly.” “谢谢您,女士。也许我只有在这里才是重要的,我应该呆在真正需要我的地方。” By the window, Hydra looks at Jones before city gate silently. 透过窗,九头蛇默默地看着城门前的琼斯。 Dora also stands in one side looks at him silently. 朵拉也站在一旁默默地看着他。 Some little time, Jones the Hydra emblem octopus in hand, partly is narrowing the eye to examine to the moonlight. 好一会,琼斯把手中的九头蛇徽章举了起来,对着月光半眯着眼睛查看着。 Licked the lip, he approves to sigh: „Perfect! I will set up each corner of the world the Hydra flag. Should not say, I will make Serpent City enjoy a good reputation in entire continent. Here will become Heald to be livelier. In that case, I did not need to run toward Schilde again every day. Can squat daily number money in own castle.” 舔了舔嘴唇,他赞叹道:“完美！我会把九头蛇大旗插遍世界的每一个角落的。哦不,应该说,我会让巨蛇城享誉整个大陆。这里将会变得比希尔德更加繁华。那样的话,我就不用再每天往希尔德跑了。可以蹲在自己的城堡里每天数钱。” „Here is my castle.” Hydra emphasized. “这里是我的城堡。”九头蛇强调道。 „Good, Madame. I know that Madame. However I believe that you will not mind gives me when the time comes it. When the time comes I will construct a bigger castle in side to you.” Looks at Hydra smart-alecky, Jones smiled. “好的,女士。我知道的,女士。不过我相信您到时候不会介意把它送给我的。到时候我会在旁边给你建一栋更大的城堡。”俏皮地看着九头蛇,琼斯笑了起来。 Hydra also smiled: „Un, if so that truly can accept.” 九头蛇也笑了:“嗯,如果是这样的话那确实可以接受。” Nearby Dora sighed lightly, happily smiles. 一旁的朵拉淡淡叹了口气,欣慰地笑了笑。 ...... …… „What? You said that you don't relate on Adolf?” “什么？你说你联系不上阿道夫？” „Yes, I cannot contact with him. His several days will come one time, but he has not appeared this period of time.” “是的,我联系不上他。原本他几天就会过来一次,但这段时间他并没有出现。” „That refinery what to do?” “那提炼厂怎么办？” „Project can start as usual, he has given enough money.” “项目可以照常启动,他已经给了足够的钱。” „That income? He does not look at one?” “那收益呢？他都不看一眼的吗？” „...... This I do not have the means to reply you. The most important thing is, I do not contact with on him. The boss in hotel said that he many days has not appeared.” “唔……这个我没办法回答您。最重要的是,我也联系不上他。旅馆的老板说他已经很多天没出现了。” Pattee shrugged reluctantly. 帕蒂娅无奈地摊了摊手。 Jones is pressed the brow, calmly is standing. 琼斯蹙着眉头,静静地站着。 „You can write a letter to keep here, if he comes, I will tell him you to look for him.” “您可以写一封信留在我这里,如果他过来的话,我会告诉他您在找他。” „, You give me the address that he occupied.” “不了,你把他原本居住的地址给我吧。” „I have looked for several times.” “我已经去找过几次了。” „Gives me the address.” “把地址给我。” „Good......” “好吧……” Helpless, Pattee can only lower the head, wrote down Adolf housing the address of hotel on the paper, then gave Jones. 无奈,帕蒂娅只能低下头,将阿道夫原本居住的旅馆的地址写在纸上,然后递给了琼斯。 „If he comes, told him me to look for him.” “如果他过来的话,告诉他我在找他。” „My meeting.” “我会的。” Took the paper, Jones was leaving Heald Chamber of Commerce. 拿着纸条,琼斯就这么离开了希尔德商会。 The partner had been missing all invested costs paid suddenly, if other blood groups, will be probably happy smiles to awake. That means oneself can act in a self-serving manner, means that all incomes will load into oneself pocket. Ratio this better matter? 已经把所有投入成本都付了的合作伙伴忽然失踪了,如果是其他血族,大概会高兴得笑醒吧。那意味着自己可以为所欲为了,意味着所有收益都将装进自己的口袋里。还有比这更好的事情吗？ However, Jones is actually not willing to think. 然而,琼斯却不愿意这么想。 „What should he not come across not good matter? My also many things must discuss with him. Especially the issue of dwarves, I am impossible of without with him explaining on arbitrarily liberate slaves. The matter that this is not accepts others the person who helps should handle.” “他该不会遇到什么不好的事情了吧？我还有好多事情要跟他商量呢。特别是矮人们的问题,我不可能在不跟他说明的情况下就擅自解放奴隶。这不是一个接受他人帮助的人应该做的事情。” Quick, before Jones arrives at Adolf, hotel that lives. 很快,琼斯来到阿道夫之前居住的旅馆。 „Young Master Adolf?” The goblin boss looked up Jones one. Although Jones is short, but the goblin boss is shorter than him. “阿道夫少爷吗？”地精老板抬头看了琼斯一眼。虽然琼斯矮,但地精老板比他更矮。 „Yes, I want to look for him, heard before him, lives your here?” “是的,我想找他,听说他之前住在你这里？” „In fact, he also lives now here. The room he has paid money, now gives back to him to remain, but has not come back. If did not come one group of people to rush in the room, I did not even know him not in inside.” “事实上,他现在还住在这里。房间他已经付过钱了,现在还给他留着,只是没有回来而已。如果不是来了一帮人闯进房间,我甚至都不知道他不在里面了。” „You know where can find him?” “你知道哪里能找到他吗？” „From just view you should know that I knew nothing about him.” “从刚刚的说法您就应该知道我对他一无所知了。” „Good, if he came back, please tell him one, I am looking for him. I called Jones.” Was saying Jones turns around to walk. “好吧,如果他回来了,请告诉他一声,我在找他。我叫琼斯。”说着琼斯转身就想走。 „Wait, you just said that what you did call?” The goblin boss stopped by calling out Jones hastily. “等等,您刚刚说您叫什么？”地精老板连忙把琼斯叫住了。 „I called Jones.” Jones has turned head. “我叫琼斯。”琼斯回过头。 „Full name.” “全名。” „Jones Dracula. What's wrong?” “琼斯・德拉库拉。怎么啦？” The goblin boss sizes up Jones up and down, the mouth is talking over silently: „Silver hair, seventy -year-old blood group, Jones Dracula. Un, right! You wait a bit my here!” 地精老板上下打量着琼斯,嘴里默默地念叨着:“银色头发,七十几岁的血族,琼斯・德拉库拉。嗯,没错了！您在这里稍等我一下！” Has turned around, the goblin boss arrives in the room, then brings a thick envelope, gives Jones. 转过身,地精老板走到房间里,然后拿来一个厚厚的信封,递给琼斯。 „What is this?” “这是什么？” „I don't know either, Young Master Adolf confessed that if you come, makes me give you this.” “我也不知道,阿道夫少爷交代如果您过来,就让我把这个给您。” ...... …… Outside hotel, in small lane one crowd of blood groups that is binding the black cloak are gathering together. And is intercepting with the magic quietly, was the blood group of head smiled slowly: „Really, I know that goblin conceals!” 旅馆外,小巷子里一群裹着黑色披风的血族正聚在一起。其中用魔法悄悄窃听着的,为首的血族缓缓地笑了出来:“果然,我就知道那只地精有隐瞒！”
