Celts continent some corner. 凯尔特斯大陆的某个角落。 Bottom. 地底。 In the dim and depressing space, Adolf calmly is lying down in own bloodstone, motionless. 昏暗而压抑的空间里,阿道夫正静静地躺在自己的血晶里,一动不动的。 Compares in the previous time, in the middle of bloodstone „blood threads” as if were also many. 相比于上次,血晶当中的“血丝”似乎又多了。 Here does not have the wind, all around is quiet, even the wind sound/rumor does not have. Is peaceful is ordinary like the abyss. 这里没有风,四周静悄悄的,连风声都没有。安静得如同深渊一般。 Suddenly, on the bloodstone swung the ripple, the body of Adolf inclined slightly, fell from the bloodstone. 忽然间,血晶上荡开了波纹,阿道夫的身体微微倾斜,从血晶里摔了出来。 Almost at the same time, bloodstone below fine sand congealed rapidly a flat land, caught him. 几乎与此同时,血晶下方的细沙迅速凝成了一块平地,将他接住了。 „Are you all right?” The blue dense fog condenses a face, appears side him. “你没事吧？”蓝色迷雾凝聚成一张人脸,出现在他身旁。 Curls up the body, Adolf is shivering slightly, is panting for breath layer on layer/heavily. 蜷曲着身子,阿道夫微微颤抖着,重重地喘息着。 „...... Has not been all right.” “没……没事。” „But your appearance does not seem like all right.” “可你的样子看上去不像没事。” Some little time, Adolf gets strength back, lying down, is breathing heavily layer on layer/heavily. 好一会,阿道夫才缓过劲来,躺卧着,重重地喘着粗气。 „I thought that do not pass again. Your present physical condition, is not suitable to use any magic again, especially space magic. That is the high rank magic, can cause the serious burden to your body.” “我觉得你还是不要再过去了。你现在的身体状况,不适合再使用任何魔法,特别是空间魔法。那是高阶魔法,对你的身体会造成沉重的负担。” „But my duty did not have...... to be accomplished.” Is clenching teeth, Adolf supports the tread with both hands, bit by bit stood. “可我的任务还没……完成。”咬着牙,阿道夫用双手撑着地面,一点一点地站了起来。 „That is only a general duty. ‚Carried on necessary preparation for the awakens day’. What is ‚necessary’? In the duty had not even mentioned that ‚lich king’, no one estimates his appearance. I felt you, so long as stayed here well were being good, no one will blame your.” “那只是一个笼统的任务。‘为苏醒日进行必要的准备’。什么是‘必要的’呢？任务里甚至没有提到‘巫妖王’,没有人估计到他的出现。我觉得你只要在这里好好呆着就行了,没有人会责怪你的。” „This was the reason that the teacher chose me to carry out this task. Because of me, knows how should do.” Adolf at this moment, the complexion is pale likely a true blood group. He begins slowly supinely, said in a soft voice: „The lives of so many people, the painstaking care of so many people, cannot have accidentally/surprisingly any. I make so many, for was not blamed, but to let our goals achieves truly.” “这就是老师选择我来执行这个任务的原因了。因为我,知道应该怎么做。”此时此刻的阿道夫,脸色已经惨白得像个真正的血族。他缓缓地仰起头,轻声说道:“那么多人的生命,那么多人的心血,不可以有任何一点意外。我做那么多,不是为了不被责怪,而是为了让我们的目标真正达成。” „Good. I can only good luck.” “好吧。那我只能祝你好运了。” The under foot fine sand condenses the ground that becomes bit by bit to stretch ahead, is connected with Shaqiao that on king post stretches out. Along the hanging bridge, Adolf bit by bit proceeds, then on the steps along king post starts to climb up. 脚下细沙凝聚而成的地面一点一点地向前延伸着,与主柱上伸出的沙桥相连。沿着悬空的桥梁,阿道夫一点一点地往前走着,然后沿着主柱上的阶梯开始攀爬。 The blue dense fog closely is following behind. 蓝色迷雾在身后紧紧地跟着。 „Actually I suggested that do not work again, not only because of the relations of your body. Some people are checking you, who you do not know are, this explained that has the risk. We most abstain is the risk, risk that especially exposes. Also or, you can notify the matter to the blood group high level that side, solves for you by them. I think, they should be glad.” “其实我建议你不要再进行下去了,不只因为你身体的关系。有人在查你,而你又不知道是谁,这说明有风险。我们最忌讳的就是风险,特别是暴露的风险。又或者,你可以将事情通报给血族高层那边,由他们替你解决。我想,他们应该会乐意的。” Adolf is silent, walks as before step by step upward. 阿道夫沉默着,依旧一步步往上走。 ...... …… While Adair also when full Heald is looking for Jones, Jones has returned to Serpent City. 正当亚岱尔还在满希尔德找着琼斯的时候,琼斯已经回到巨蛇城了。 Sits in own room, he somewhat looks inconceivable the envelope in own hand. 坐在自己的房间里,他有些不可思议地看着自己手中的信封。 In the envelope, is money, the bank bills of enough 300,000 gold coins. Therefore the envelope so will be thick. 信封里,是钱,足足三十万金币的银行票据。所以信封会那么厚。 Moreover, a letter/believes, the content is also very simple. 另外,还有一封信,内容也特别简单。 „Here is 300,000 gold coins, first places your there. If the refinery needs money, you use these. I annoyed to trouble, perhaps temporarily cannot appear in Heald. I will look to your Serpent City directly your. Please do not tell anybody me to look for you. Including Adair. Adolf presents respectfully.” “这里是三十万金币,先放在你那里。如果提炼厂需要钱的话,你就用这些。我惹上了一点麻烦,恐怕暂时不能出现在希尔德了。我会直接到你的巨蛇城找你的。请不要告诉任何人我会去找你。包括亚岱尔。阿道夫敬上。” 300,000 gold coins...... 三十万金币…… Adolf is very rich, this Jones can feel. But he obviously does not seem like a merchant, at least at refinery matter, he obviously is not the attitude of doing business using. Moreover, what trouble can make a rich merchant flee to the wilderness? 阿道夫很有钱,这琼斯能感觉得出来。可他又明显不像是一个商人,至少在冶炼厂这件事上,他明显不是用的做生意的态度。而且,什么样的麻烦能让一个如此富有的商人落荒而逃呢？ Because of Adair? 因为亚岱尔吗？ In the letter/believes particularly raised do not tell Adair. What contradiction between did Adolf and Adair have? 信里面特别提了不要告诉亚岱尔。阿道夫跟亚岱尔之间发生了什么矛盾吗？ Jones has a dizzy spell simply. 琼斯简直一阵头晕目眩。 Jones felt like this perhaps involved extraordinarily matter, but did not talk clearly to be any serious matter. 隐隐地,琼斯觉得这恐怕涉及到了不得了的事情,但又说不清会是什么不得了的事情。 Can look own „serious matter”, is related with Gray. 能找上自己的“不得了的事情”,难道是和格雷有关。 Daybreak, in castle hall quiet. Hydra is still hibernating, calmly is lying. Jones stands in the corridors of two buildings stretches out the head to look downward. The canal that in the hall digs is reflecting his inverted image. 黎明时分,城堡大厅里静悄悄的。九头蛇还在冬眠呢,静静地趴着。琼斯站在二楼的走廊伸出脑袋往下望。大厅中挖出来的水渠映着他的倒影。 „Probably only then this possibility. Except for this, I really do not know that he looks for my significance is anything. What same wants me to use the silver moon knight group to help him with Adair make? But actually my he is everyone is not clear.” Jones recalled just to know the feeling of time suddenly initially. “好像只有这种可能了。除了这个,我真不知道他找我的意义是什么。跟亚岱尔一样想要我用银月骑士团帮他做什么吗？可我连他究竟是什么人都不清楚。”琼斯忽然回忆起了当初刚认识时候的感觉。 Adolf, seems like deliberately being close own. 阿道夫,似乎是在刻意接近自己的。 Thinking, Jones was worrying. 想着,琼斯不禁担忧了起来。 Then, Adair and Adolf are actually same, two people are close to oneself motive being impure. At least from the beginning, is far from what friendship. But these two people helped oneself big busy. 说起来,亚岱尔和阿道夫其实都一样,两个人接近自己的动机都不纯。至少在一开始,谈不上什么友谊。可这两个人又偏偏都帮了自己不小的忙。 Originally this issue is not critical, but is now different. What to do if their two do have the conflict...... should? Regardless which oneself stand in one side, seems to the betrayal of other side. 本来这个问题还没那么紧要,但现在不同了。如果他们两个起冲突的话……自己该怎么办？无论自己站在哪一边,似乎都是对另一方的背叛。 Thinks of here, Jones felt scalp tingles simply. 想到这儿,琼斯简直都觉得头皮发麻了。 „Perhaps I should ask Adair, actually he may tell me him and between Adolf has problems. But if, I asked that he, did not show that I did know?” “也许我应该问问亚岱尔,他可能会告诉我他跟阿道夫之间究竟出了什么问题。可是,如果我问他的话,不就证明我知道了吗？” If the pure blood group, as if not need extremely to consider these. The blood group always benefit guidance, in the blood group gene, itself has the factor of betrayal, they did not think that the betrayal has what issue. But Jones is also different from other blood groups. 如果是单纯的血族的话,似乎并不需要太过考虑这些。血族总是利益导向,血族的基因里,本身就带有背叛的因子,他们并不觉得背叛有什么问题。可琼斯又跟其他血族不同。 Treated the long time with Gray probably, Jones unknowingly, to these darkness to the noun had some degree of dislike. If specially handle the matter that betrays, later can also return to the silver moon knight group? 大概是跟格雷待久了吧,琼斯不知不觉地,对那些黑暗向的名词有了某种程度的厌恶。特别如果自己做下背叛的事情,以后还能回到银月骑士团吗？ He is impossible to refuse to stand that side Adair, he is also owing the Adair money. 他不可能拒绝站在亚岱尔那边,他还欠着亚岱尔钱呢。 He is also impossible to refuse to stand that side Adolf, otherwise, the refinery dwarf free body pledged not to have the means to cash. He was equal to that the one breath betrayed many people. 他同样不可能拒绝站在阿道夫那边,否则的话,冶炼厂矮人自由身承诺就没办法兑现了。他等于一口气背叛了许多人。 This issue, arrived at Serpent City until the sunlight photo, Jones does not want to understand as before. 这个问题,直到阳光都照到巨蛇城了,琼斯依旧没想明白。 ...... …… Next day, is Serpent City „sloppy ordinary” one day. 第二天,又是巨蛇城“稀松平常”的一天。 Sends when the sample armor has taken carry back. Jones wears the armor, was invests in the great task of Serpent City construction. 送去当样品的盔甲早就拿回来了。琼斯穿上盔甲,又是投入到了巨蛇城建设的伟大任务之中。 The mine tunnel has excavated, even some gold/metal ores had been collected, piles up in the side crude warehouse. The refinery can also begin using quickly. All systematic, Serpent City, quick must enter the profit period. However a Jones actually point happy. 矿坑已经开挖,甚至一些金矿石已经被采集了出来,堆放在旁边简陋的仓库里。冶炼厂很快也可以启用了。所有的一切都井然有序,巨蛇城,很快就要进入盈利期。然而琼斯却一点都开心不起来。 „How are you? What matter experienced?” The cask asked. “你是怎么啦？遇到了什么事了吗？”酒桶问。 „It‘s nothing, experienced a point puzzled matter.” Jones replied. “没什么,就是遇到了一点纠结的事。”琼斯答道。 „Related with our Serpent City?” “跟我们巨蛇城有关吗？” „Can say related, can say irrelevant.” “可以说有关,也可以说无关。” „...... That I did not work as irrelevant. Since irrelevant, why can also waste the time to intertwine? What also has more important than Serpent City?” Saying, the cask is laughing, filled liquor toward own mouth. “唔……那我就当无关了。既然无关,为什么还要浪费时间纠结呢？还有什么比巨蛇城更加重要吗？”说着,酒桶哈哈大笑着,往自己的嘴里灌了一口酒。 Jones looked at cask one reluctantly. He thinks suddenly, perhaps in this world most true important matters, are very simple. For example grows out of nothing to construct a city-state, for example goes to war. Constructs a city-state nothing but completes the matter conscientiously, going to war nothing but eliminates the opponent. Complex is the person. 琼斯无奈地看了酒桶一眼。他忽然想,或许这个世界上绝大多数真正的大事,都是很简单的吧。例如从无到有建设一座城邦,例如打仗。建设一座城邦无非就是兢兢业业地把事情做好,打仗无非就是消灭对手。复杂的都是人。 If you have a simple goal, even if this goal looks very big, so long as you try hard day after day, would one day of achieving. It seems Port Salted Fish some fool to be the same. He all matter simple treatment, insisted on that should insist. On the contrary is many smart people, often accomplishes nothing. 如果你有一个简单的目标,哪怕这个目标看上去很大,只要你日复一日地努力,总会有达到的一天。就好像咸鱼港的某个傻子一样。他就是把所有的事情都简单处理,坚持应该坚持的。反倒是很多的聪明人,往往一事无成。 It seems in the Colin peninsula the innumerable blood group feudal lord to be the same, they always pester at some meaningless matter, day after day, year after year. 就好像科林半岛上数不清的血族领主一样,他们总是纠缠于一些毫无意义的事情,日复一日,年复一年。 „Person”, was too complex. Places the same place several, they can do a matter to come, then wastes everyone's time and energy with this matter, is truly important by As for, instead does not handle. “人”,实在太复杂了。把几个放在一块,他们就能搞出点事情来,然后用这件事情浪费所有人的时间和精力,以至于真正重要的,反而搞不定。 Has saying that Jones should rejoice own Serpent City is simple enough. Everyone is very simple. The dwarves have only wanted the simple life, has the free body. Jones only wants to construct the city, proves itself. The land for building also is very simple, is desolated. Only then in the simple environment, the simple person, can do the great matter. 不得不说,琼斯应该庆幸自己的巨蛇城足够简单。每一个人都很简单。矮人们只想要过简单的生活,拥有自由身。琼斯只想要将城市建造起来,证明自己。就连地皮也很简单,就是荒芜。只有在简单的环境下,简单的人,才能干成伟大的事情。 „Yes, is this!” Jones hits the gas channel/angrily said to oneself: „From now on, before to become a great blood group feudal lord, my anything matter does not want to manage! Is this!” “是的,就是这样！”琼斯对自己打气道:“从现在开始,在成为一位伟大的血族领主之前,我什么事都不想管！就是这样！” Shouted, Jones thought immediately the whole body was strong, started to work earnestly. 喊完,琼斯顿时觉得浑身都有劲了,开始埋头干活。 Side takes the pickaxe several dwarf gods who rest to visit him, a bewilderment of face. 旁边拿着铁镐正在休息的几个矮人愣神地看着他,一脸的莫名其妙。 ...... …… A newly-opened mine tunnel, can have the matter of completion, let alone does the Jones goal construct a great city-state? 一条新开的矿坑,可以有做不完的事情,何况琼斯的目标还是建设一座伟大的城邦呢？ Jones is bustling about, at the same time, but also found a time to arrive in the southern goblin kingdom to look at one. 琼斯上上下下地忙碌着,与此同时,还抽了个时间到南部的哥布林王国看了一眼。 That is a wilderness desert, withered and yellow land, everywhere withered and yellow weeds. Large cities, if that can be the city. 那是一片荒漠戈壁,枯黄的土地,遍地枯黄的野草。有一个规模不小的城市,如果那算得上是城市的话。 Probably three meters high „city wall”, purely with the loess and wood/blockhead build, the wood/blockhead has fallen apart, the loess seems like also loose, probably will push will break down. Puts on the wood/blockhead in loess to play a role of stereotypia. Without putting on wood/blockhead, they can only pile the pitch, rather than the city wall of 90 degrees corner/horn. 大概三米高的“城墙”,纯粹就是用黄土和木头搭建的,木头已经朽坏,黄土看上去也松松散散的,好像一推就会垮似的。穿在黄土之中的木头只是起到一个定型的作用。如果没有穿木头的话,他们只能堆出斜坡,而不是九十度角的城墙。 But such city wall really useful? 可是这样的城墙真的有用吗？ Some Jones suspicions. 琼斯不禁都有些怀疑了。 The entire city wall assumes the square, has three kilometers width in any case, is big. But the city in city wall, was a little awkward. If were not Jones has long known that here had a goblin kingdom, but passed by, will neglect probably directly. 整个城墙呈正方形,横竖都有三公里宽,算是不小。但城墙里的城市,就有点尴尬了。如果不是琼斯早就知道这里有一个哥布林王国,只是路过的话,大概会直接忽略吧。 The goblin house is a bit like with the house of dwarf, is the hemispheroids that the ground haunches up, stated differently, their craftsmanship are really not much, in addition the figure is shorter than the dwarf, the altitude that the hemispheroid arches is also insufficient, the shape is nonstandard. Big pile of this type of shape irregular spheroids gather, under the moonlight, from in the air looks, probably uneven yellow earth. In addition the gate of goblin house opens blindly, some gates even open on the roof. Even noticed , from afar, the normal person will only think probably this was a big mole nest. 哥布林的房子跟矮人的房子有点像,都是地面拱起的半球体,不同的是,他们的手艺实在不怎么样,加上身材比矮人还矮,半球体拱的高度也不够,形状还不标准。一大堆这种形状不规则的球体聚集在一起,月光下,从空中望下去,就好像一片凹凸不平的黄土地而已。加上哥布林房子的门瞎开,有些门甚至开在屋顶上。就算注意到了,远远看去,正常人大概只会觉得这是一大片的地鼠窝而已。 To be honest, they really look like the mole very much, returns the resembles compared with the dwarf, is far from anything completely „civilization”. 老实说,他们真的很像地鼠,比矮人还像,完全谈不上什么“文明”。 Entire „city” only exception, is center the city „fortress”. That should be the royal palace of king. However, seems like actually hollows out a mountain, rather than completes. 整个“城市”唯一的例外,就是城市正中的“堡垒”。那应该是国王的王宫吧。不过,看上去其实是把一座山挖空而成的,而不是建成的。 , Jones saw from afar one crowd of goblin hold the flare periphery to inspect in „fortress” back and forth. The city wall in As for surrounding, from the start is jet black a piece. Accidentally several sentries, is „ignoring a proper occupation” falls down whistling rests greatly. 远远地,琼斯看到一群哥布林举着火把正在“堡垒”周围来来回回地巡视。至于外围的城墙,压根就漆黑一片。偶然几个哨兵,也都是“不务正业”地倒在地上呼呼大睡。 „What here does goblin eat? Here should unable to grow what plant, like not having rich prey. So many goblin live here, how do they solve food problem?” Jones asked that flies in nearby Dora. “这里的哥布林都吃什么？这里应该长不出什么植物,也不像有丰富的猎物。这么多哥布林住在这里,他们怎么解决食物问题？”琼斯问飞在旁边的朵拉。 „Does goblin...... eat the earth probably?” Dora replied low voice. “哥布林……好像吃土吧？”朵拉小声答道。 „Eats the earth? In this world also has the lifeform is to eat the earth?” Jones was startled. “吃土？这个世界上还有生物是吃土的？”琼斯都惊了。 „They seem anything to eat. Dora has not contacted goblin, but listened to the father to say. Their anything can eat, including earth. After eating the earth , the belly can rise in a big way. You looked that most goblin bellies are big. However, if eats the earth, they must eat a type, long in place bottom poisonous mushroom.” “他们好像什么都能吃。朵拉没接触过哥布林,不过听父亲说过。他们什么都能吃,包括土。吃了土之后肚子会涨大。你看大多数的哥布林肚子都不小。不过,如果吃土的话,他们还要吃一种自己种的,长在地底的毒蘑菇。” „Poisonous mushroom?” “有毒的蘑菇？” „Yes, finished eating will have diarrhea, eating the earth draws.” “是的,吃完就会拉肚子,把吃进去的土都拉出来。” „This species such mysterious?” Jones cannot believe own ear simply. “这个物种这么神奇的吗？”琼斯简直不敢相信自己的耳朵。 If eats the earth, goblin was too good to raise. Perhaps oneself should make a big pile. Does not know how works. 如果只是吃土的话,哥布林实在太好养了。也许自己应该弄一大堆回来。就是不知道干活怎么样。 Kicked the wing, Jones was flying in the goblin city gate direction. 扑腾着翅膀,琼斯往哥布林城门的方向飞了过去。 „Does Sir Jones, where you go to?” “琼斯大人,您去哪里？” „I know their kings.” “我去认识一下他们的国王。” Saying, before Jones has been falling the goblin city-state spacious city gate, Dora also fell side him. 说着,琼斯已经落到了哥布林城邦空旷的城门前,朵拉也落到了他身边。 „Sir Jones, we such late disturbs, isn't good? goblin travels by night the lifeform not completely.” “琼斯大人,我们这么晚去打搅,不好吧？哥布林并不完全是夜行生物。” „But we travel by night the lifeform. Can wear the armor to see them?” Before arriving at the front door, Jones calls loudly: „Has the person? Opens the door? I want to see your kings!” “可我们是夜行生物。要穿着盔甲来见他们吗？”走到大门前,琼斯高声喊道:“有人吗？开一下门好吗？我想见一下你们国王！” The wind of wilderness is blowing gently, near foot weeds rustle sound. 荒漠的风轻轻地吹着,脚边的野草沙沙响。 Had not responded, a sound does not have. 没有反应,一点动静都没有。 Jones has also to shout: „Has the person? Opens the city gate troublesome? I want to see your kings. I am your north blood group feudal lords. To know you! Perhaps we have what business to do.” 琼斯只好又喊了一遍:“有人吗？麻烦开一下城门好吗？我想见一见你们的国王。我是你们北面的血族领主。想认识一下你们！也许我们有什么生意可以做。” Some little time, in the thatched shed in city wall searches a green and glossy face. 好一会,城墙上的草棚里探出来一张绿油油的脸。 „Who below!, Quarrelled late!” “谁在下面！这么晚了,吵死了！” „I am your north blood group feudal lords, I want to know your kings.” Helpless Jones repeated. “我是你们北面的血族领主,我想认识一下你们的国王。”琼斯无奈又重复了一遍。 „Can't you daytime come?” “你就不能白天来吗？” „I said I am the blood group.” “我说了我是血族。” „Can't blood group the daytime?” “血族不能白天来？” „Can blood group the daytime come?” “血族能白天来吗？” „Why can't blood group the daytime?” The opposite party asked earnestly: „You do not sleep in the evening?” “血族为什么不能白天来？”对方认真地问道:“难道你们晚上不睡觉的吗？” An awkwardness of Jones face, even does not know how should work the topic. 琼斯一脸的尴尬,甚至都不知道该怎么把话题进行下去了。 Thought for quite a while, Jones can only emphasize again: „In brief, I want to see your kings, Ok?” 想了半天,琼斯只能再次强调道:“总之,我想见你们国王,可以吗？” The opposite party replied: „I am.” 对方答道:“我就是。”
