Now, please ride your warhorse.” 阿奇尔诺曼双手交叉胸前,恭敬地朝着格雷行了一礼,说道:“尊敬的巫妖王殿下,阿奇尔诺曼这就带您去面见我们的大长老。现在,请您骑上您的战马。” „Rides the warhorse? Do we want to ride a horse?” Gray asked. “骑上战马？我们要骑着马去吗？”格雷问。 „Yes.

Gray has attended the innumerable welcome ceremonies, but also has no one to request him to ride to start specially, has no one to hope that he leads all subordinates to have an audience with together. 这是个奇怪的提议。格雷参加过无数的欢迎仪式,还没有任何一个会特意要求他骑上马的,更没有任何一个会希望他带着自己所有的部下一起觐见。 However, after having yesterday's experience, Gray will at least not think that the opposite party harbored evil intentions. 不过,有了昨天的经历之后,格雷至少不会觉得对方不怀好意了。 At insistence of Archer Norman, the dwarves arranged in order army, Gray and silver moon knights to ride the warhorse. The Tenedos reins according to requirement, were put in the hand of Archer Norman. 在阿奇尔诺曼的坚持下,矮人们列开了军阵,格雷和银月骑士们则一个个都骑上战马。特内达斯的缰绳更是按照要求,被放到了阿奇尔诺曼的手中。 Evelicia turned toward Richie to extend a hand. 伊芙莉西亚则向着里奇伸出了一只手。 „Do I also want?” Hesitant, rode also to hand over own reins in immediately Richie. “我也要吗？”犹豫着,骑在马上的里奇也把自己的缰绳交了出去。 Not is only Gray and Richie, Echelon and Lucy, as well as Carl.

We prepared the mount for you respectively.” “还有薇薇安小姐和凯瑟琳小姐,可否请你们都现身呢？我们为你们分别准备了坐骑。” Saying, two dragon clan clansmen have pulled two unicorns. 说着,两名龙族族人已经牵出了两匹独角兽。 That is true, dense/woods the unicorn of elf, must be higher than compared with the common horse, the mane of slightly volume, is proliferating a light ruddy color from top to bottom.

If the entrance and temporary residence are located in the goose egg most bottom, place that then they must go, then in goose egg most top. 龙之山谷的地形,是一个巨大的,呈鹅蛋形的盆地。如果说入口以及临时居所位于鹅蛋的最底部的话,那么他们要去的地方,则是在鹅蛋的最顶部。 „Now, we will lead you to pass through the mountain valley of entire dragon.” Archer Norman said. “现在,我们将带您穿越整个龙之山谷。”阿奇尔诺曼如是说。 „good work.” Gray inclined slightly the physique, salutes to Archer Norman. “辛苦了。”格雷微微倾斜了身姿,向阿奇尔诺曼行了个礼。 , The mountain valley of dragon is Gray has visited without a doubt, closest natural place. Besides the temporary residence, almost cannot see any manual construction, even path in the true sense does not have. Even that „temporary residence”, still like ancient vestige same place. 毫无疑问地,龙之山谷是格雷到访过的,最贴近自然的地方了。除了临时居所之外,几乎见不到任何的人工建筑,甚至连真正意义上的道路都没有。即便是那个“临时居所”,也是如同古遗迹一样的地方。 Meanwhile, is Gray has actually visited, most has the ceremony feeling place. Every action and every movement are feeling the ceremony feeling, a slow rhythm flavor. That deep connotation, even initially had not realized in Aslan special mountain Gray. 同时,却又是格雷到访过的,最有仪式感的地方。一举一动都充满着仪式感,一种慢节奏的韵味。那种深沉的内涵,即便是当初在阿兹兰特山格雷也不曾体会过。 A very marvelous feeling. 一种很奇妙的感觉。 Greathammer asked low voice: „Here has no construction, usually, where you are live? I meant, you by human form life time.” 棒槌小声问道:“这里没有任何建筑,平时,你们都是住在哪里的呢？我是说,你们以人形生活的时候。” „Why can we by the human form life?” Be responsible for accompanying his gold dragon clansman to smile replying: „The honored gold dragon clan, does not need to live like human. Only then in needs to hide the identity, or has other special demands time, we will exist in the human form. For example reception honored guest.” “我们为什么要以人形生活呢？”负责陪伴他的金龙族人微笑着答道:“尊贵的金龙族,不需要像人类那样生活。只有在需要隐藏身份,或者有其他特殊需求的时候,我们才会以人形存在。例如接待尊贵的客人。” „That really...... too thanked!” Greathammer smiles awkwardly. “那真的……太感谢了！”棒槌尴尬地笑了笑。 At this time, the people of team discovered a matter- the mountain valley of today's dragon, was entirely different from yesterday. In the sky does not have the dragon, a dragon did not have. All dragons stay in the dragon nest on their cliff peacefully, is setting upright heads, is gazing at the mission from afar. 此时,队伍的众人才发现了一件事-今天的龙之山谷,与昨天截然不同。天空中没有龙,一头龙都没有了。所有的龙都安静地呆在他们峭壁上的龙巢里,竖着一个个的脑袋,远远地注视着使团。 Yes, all dragons are gazing at them. 是的,所有的龙都在注视着他们。 The mountain valley of dragon is very big, but all around cliff is also high enough, as if went against the sky is the same. Stands by As for in any corner in mountain valley of dragon, four sides can see the cliff. Naturally, any dragon nest from cliff, can see any corner in mountain valley of dragon clearly. 龙之山谷很大,但四周的峭壁也足够高,就仿佛都顶到天空了一样。以至于站在龙之山谷中的任何一个角落,都可以看到四面的峭壁。当然,从峭壁上的任何一个龙巢,也可以清楚地看到龙之山谷中的任何一个角落。 Looking into the distance, has over ten thousand dragons probably. Besides drawing close to the cliff of mission temporary residence, on each side cliff is distributing the every large or small dragon nest scattered. 放眼望去,大概有上万头龙吧。除了贴近使团临时住所的峭壁之外,每一面峭壁上都零零散散地分布着大大小小的龙巢。 Majority is gold dragon, naturally, there is silver dragon, golden color, green dragon. Branch altogether these three types of gold dragon clan. That huge body in dragon nest on the sheer precipice, seems like so conspicuous. 大部分是金龙,当然,也有银龙,还有金色,偏绿的龙。金龙族的分支总共就这三种。那一个个的庞大身躯在悬崖峭壁上的龙巢里,看上去是如此地显眼。 Grand scenery, the big dragon of military might, this picture, even if, enough makes people unable to dismiss from mind for a lifetime. That was one type was full of the legend, as well as epic flavor. 壮丽的景色,威武的巨龙,这画面,哪怕一眼,都足够让人一辈子无法忘怀。那是一种充满了传说,以及史诗的味道。 , Gray has been able to see other side of the mountain valley of dragon by far clearly the giant waterfall. The waterfall peak, in the peak of mountain valley of that entire dragon occupies has must steadily the golden big dragon. Is more grandiose than any other dragons, military might. 远远地,格雷已经能清楚地看到龙之山谷另一面巨大的瀑布了。瀑布的顶端,那整个龙之山谷的最高点上就盘踞着一头有着长须的金色巨龙。比其他任何一头龙都更壮硕,更威武。 At this moment, he calmly is also gazing at Gray. 此时此刻,他也在静静地注视着格雷。 Some pressure feeling from raids in all directions, the dwarves felt oneself must not gasp for breath. Actually Gray, tranquil exceptionally. Calmly sits in immediately, whatever Archer Norman pulls Tenedos to proceed step by step, passes through the woods, bridges over the small stream, passed by the limpid transparent lake. 某种威压感从四面八方袭来,矮人们都感觉自己要喘不过气了。倒是格雷,平静异常。只是静静地坐在马上,任由阿奇尔诺曼牵着特内达斯一步步地往前,走过树林,跨过小溪,路过清澈透明的湖泊。 The wind is blowing gently, the whole world is quiet, is only left over the bird from the sky to dance in the air. 风轻轻地吹着,整个世界都静悄悄,只剩下鸟雀在空中飞舞。 Finally, they arrived at the biggest waterfall front. 终于,他们来到了最大的瀑布前方。 Archer Norman turns head silently, gestures, hints others to stop, is leading a horse alone, bringing Gray to continue to proceed, until deep deep pool edge. Then both hands overlapping chest front, respectfully toward Gray good a ritual, falls back on the one side. 阿奇尔诺曼默默回头,打了个手势,示意其他人停下,然后独自牵着马,带着格雷继续往前,直到深潭边。然后双手交叉胸前,恭敬地朝着格雷行了一礼,退到一旁。 The spring water crashes from the upper air, splashes the water splash since the deep deep pool, exudes the intermittent bellow. 泉水从高空坠落,在深潭中溅起水花,发出阵阵轰鸣声。 Gray rides Tenedos to stand in deep deep pool edge alone, is looking at each other with the gold dragon big elder. Equips the neat entire silver moon knight group. 格雷就骑着特内达斯孤零零地站在深潭边,与金龙大长老对视着。身后是列装整齐的整个银月骑士团。 „Should I...... dismount the politeness?” Gray asked black cat in armor low voice. “我……应该下马以示礼貌吗？”格雷小声问盔甲里的黑猫。 „I don't know either, their customs were too strange.” black cat replied low voice: „Perhaps you should wait again. Normal, if their customs are really strange, should some people direct to be right. Like before.” “我也不知道,他们的规矩实在太奇怪了。”黑猫小声答道:“也许你应该再等等。正常来说,如果他们的规矩实在古怪,应该会有人指引才对。就像之前一样。” The wind has blown gently, pulled down all around weeds. 风轻轻地吹过,压低了四周的野草。 The time seemed to be silent generally. 时间仿佛静默了一般。 Some little time, must unable to support until Gray, a loud and clear sound resounds in his ear finally: „The respectable lich king, as a big elder of gold dragon clan, I represent a gold dragon clan, welcome your arrival.” 好一会,直到格雷都要撑不住了,一个洪亮的声音终于在他的耳边响起:“尊敬的巫妖王阁下,身为金龙一族的大长老,我代表金龙一族,欢迎你的到来。” That sound is loud in the range of mountain valley of entire dragon, can hear clearly. The leaf shivers gently. 那声音大得整个龙之山谷的范围内,都可以清楚地听到。树叶都轻轻地为之颤动。 Hears this sound, Gray relaxes finally slowly. This as if means that he did not need dismount. 听到这个声音,格雷终于缓缓松了口气。这似乎意味着他不用下马了。 „The respectable gold dragon big elder, as the white bones Saint light Holy Synod lich king, the regimental commander who the silver moon knight rolls, I represent white bones Saint light Holy Synod and silver moon knight group thank your reception. The mountain valley of dragon is I have been, most marvelous place. Here every single minute, makes me exclaim in surprise.” “尊敬的金龙大长老阁下,身为白骨圣光教廷的巫妖王,银月骑士团的团长,我代表白骨圣光教廷以及银月骑士团感谢您的接待。龙之山谷是我到过的,最奇妙的地方。在这里的每分每秒,都让我惊叹。” „Thank your appreciation. I am also astonished in you, especially age. Your behind two, were my old acquaintance.” Saying, the vision of big elder is rotating slightly, delimits to Gray behind Echelon and Lucy. “感谢你的赞赏。我也同样惊异于你,特别是年龄。你身后的两位,是我的老熟人了。”说着,大长老的目光微微转动,划向了格雷身后的艾克列昂和露茜。 „Yes, long time no see, big elder.” Lucy shrugged. “是的,很久不见了,大长老。”露茜摊了摊手。 „Should have more than 10,000 years.” Echelon said after a sigh. “应该有一万多年了吧。”艾克列昂感叹道。 „More than 10,000 years.” The big elder sighed in a soft voice: „I once think that lich will hide in the place bottom forever, hides in their castles. Some day they unexpectedly for the same belief goes out of own castle, participates in the continent business . Moreover, under the influence of young lich. This is I most astonished place.” “有一万多年了。”大长老轻声感叹道:“我曾经以为巫妖们会永远躲在地底,躲在他们的城堡里。没想到,有一天他们居然会为了相同的信仰走出自己的城堡,参与到大陆的事务中来,而且,是在一位年轻巫妖的引领下。这是我最惊异的地方。” Saying, the vision of big elder was returning to the body of Gray slowly: „Your age, to me, actually like flash.” 说着,大长老的目光又缓缓回到了格雷的身上:“你的年龄,对我来说,其实就像一瞬间。” „Yes, you said right.” Is raising head, the Gray both hands overlapping chest front, studies the appearance that Archer Norman is saluting to salute seriously, said: „My age, to you, looks like the flash. I regarding all seniors, with heart of awe. Wholeheartedly hopes that can listen respectfully to your instruction. This is the goal of my trip.” “是的,您说得没错。”仰着头,格雷双手交叉胸前,学着阿奇尔诺曼行礼的样子郑重地行了个礼,说道:“我的年龄,对您来说,就像是一瞬间。我对于所有的前辈,都怀着敬畏的心。衷心地希望能够聆听你们的教诲。这正是我此行的目的。” „Hehe hehe.” All of a sudden, the big elder smiled, said in a soft voice: „Your humble appearance, making me almost forget your lich status. To be honest...... hopes that do not mind, before, I have thought the knight of human is a joke, is the rag doll that the heaven does, but today. Hehe hehe, you made me be surprised.” “呵呵呵呵。”一下子,大长老笑了出来,轻声说道:“你谦卑的样子,让我都差点忘记你巫妖的身份了。老实说……希望你不要介意,在之前,我一直觉得人类的骑士就是一个笑话,都是天堂搞出来的布偶,但今天。呵呵呵呵,你让我感到意外了。” All dragons calmly are listening. 所有的龙都在静静地听着。 „Is this appreciation? Big elder.” Gray asked in a soft voice. “这算是赞赏吗？大长老阁下。”格雷轻声问道。 „Is. However, virtue this type of thing, is very heavy. Especially when the complete pile is at a body of person. Even if that is lich, or a dragon, is still so.” “算是吧。不过,美德这种东西,是很沉重的。特别是当全部堆在一个人的身上的时候。即便那是一只巫妖,或者一头龙,也是如此。” „If virtue heaviness as you said that then respectable big elder, I carrying a heavy load vanguard. Such that just like I walk.” “如果美德真如您所说的沉重,那么尊敬的大长老阁下,我将负重前行。正如我一路走来的那样。” „This I believe. After all, you have walked compared with, anyone who I know must be farther. However......” “这我相信。毕竟,你已经走得比我所知道的,任何一个人都要更远了。不过……” Gray calmly is looking at the gold dragon big elder. 格雷静静地望着金龙大长老。 , The gold dragon big elder then said: „You have walked enough far , has not thought that stops the rest slightly? Retrocedes slightly points. Just like I said a moment ago, your age, to me is only the flash. The long life span has an advantage, will witness enough many things. In this world has can only exist in the beautiful thing of flash, for example the meteor, is fleeting. Although happy, actually can only be an embellishment forever, will not become the trend in the world. Only then experienced Sun of years test, for a long time shining myriad things. If must bet, I will only consider Sun, will not consider the meteor. Although it looks very happy.” 顿了顿,金龙大长老才接着说道:“你已经走得足够远了,难道,就没有想过,稍微停下来休息吗？或者,稍微后退一点。正如我刚才说的,你的年龄,对我来说只是一瞬间。漫长的寿命有一个好处,就是会见证足够多的事情。这个世界上有很多只能存在于一瞬间的美好事物,例如流星,稍纵即逝。虽然美好,却永远只能是一个点缀而已,不会成为世界的趋势。只有经历了岁月考验的太阳,才会长久地照耀万物。如果要下注的话,我只会考虑太阳,绝不会考虑流星。尽管它看上去十分美好。” Then, the gold dragon big elder lived, calmly is gazing at Gray. 说完,金龙大长老顿住了,静静地注视着格雷。 All around atmosphere one changed. 四周的气氛一下都变了。 The members of mission were shocked. 使团的成员们一个个都愣住了。 Richie opened the eye slightly. 里奇微微睁大了眼睛。 Everyone can hear, this has some metaphor in inside. 谁都听得出来,这是有某种隐喻在里面。 The time 1 0.1 drops are passing. 时间一点一滴地流逝着。 Hid black cat in Gray armor was a little ignorant, started to ponder anxiously how should deal. 躲在格雷盔甲里的黑猫都有点懵了,开始急切地思考着该如何应对。 However, but also without it wants to come out, Gray then already respectfully good a ritual, then said: „Thank the big elder good intentions expostulation. However, I like viewing this issue from another angle.” 然而,还没等它想出来,格雷便已经恭敬地行了一礼,然后说道:“感谢大长老善意的谏言。不过,我更喜欢从另一个角度去看待这个问题。” „What angle?” The gold dragon big elder asked. “什么角度？”金龙大长老问。 „Has big elder listened to Elven Calendar?” “大长老听过精灵历吗？” The gold dragon big elder was silent, without reply. 金龙大长老沉默了,没有回答。 Gray then said: „The Elven Calendar first discipline, takes the angel and devil arrives at Celts continent for the outset, altogether after 1031. The second discipline, altogether after 9215. Tertiary Period, in 3172. Fourth Age, concludes the ceasefire agreement to take the beginning by the heaven and hell, by war of termination Port Salted Fish, altogether 11271 years.” 格雷接着说道:“精灵历第一纪,以天使与恶魔降临凯尔特斯大陆为起始,一共历经1031年。第二纪,一共历经9215年。第三纪,3172年。第四纪,以天堂和地狱缔结停战协议作为起点,以咸鱼港之战完结,前后一共11271年。” „What do you want to say?” “你想说什么？” „I want to say that the time is changing. Long Fourth Age had finished, the continent inherent pattern has broken, the new time has arrived. This time, is younger than me. Does the big elder want to press the gambling stake on finished Fourth Age?” “我想说,时代在改变。漫长的第四纪已经结束,大陆固有的格局已经打破,新的时代已经到来。这个时代,比我更加年轻。大长老难道想把赌注压在已经结束的第四纪上吗？” All of a sudden, entire dragon clan in an uproar. Were many innumerable talking in whispers. 一下子,整个龙族哗然了。多了无数的窃窃私语。 The members who the silver moon knight rolls one smiled. 银月骑士团的成员们一下都笑了。 Gray calmly is riding a horse as before, stands raised the head to look up to the gold dragon big elder before the puddle, is similar to a sculpture to be the same. 格雷依旧静静地骑着马,站在水潭前抬头仰望金龙大长老,就如同一尊雕塑一般。 „This reply is good, is truly good.” black cat whispered low voice in the armor: „Does not have no consideration for face, can express own meaning vaguely.” “这个回答不错,确实挺不错的。”黑猫在盔甲里小声嘀咕道:“既不撕破脸,也可以隐晦地表达出自己的意思。” Silent, after short silence, the gold dragon big elder smiled slowly: „Hehe hehe, said is reasonable. Although you are young, but you truly ended long Fourth Age personally.” 沉默,短暂的沉默之后,金龙大长老缓缓地笑了出来:“呵呵呵呵,说得有道理。虽然你年轻,但你确实亲手终结了漫长的第四纪。” Closes the eye, the gold dragon big elder said in a soft voice: „God and demon, they ten thousand years of operation, you only used for five years demolished it thoroughly. This is the age is equivalent to you hundred times of existences, has not achieved. You can achieve, not because of strength, or age. Even this difference/two kinds, is to you most unimportant. Hehe hehe. Then, the young lich king, your wish lets our gold dragon clan, what helping you make?” 闭上眼睛,金龙大长老轻声说道:“神与魔,他们万年的经营,你只用了五年的时间就将它彻底摧垮了。这是年纪相当于你百倍的存在,也不曾做到的。你之所以能做到,也不是因为力量,或者年龄。甚至这两样对你来说,是最不重要的。呵呵呵呵。那么,年轻的巫妖王,你想要让我们金龙一族,帮你做什么呢？”
