罗德,迪克已经接到安一拉降下的神谕,他非常迫切的想向梅丹佐和乔治请教,更想听到阿蒙这位神灵本人的声音。但是另一方面,他也接到了法老的最新命令,仍然要为塞特修建精美宏伟的神像,并将安一拉的神谕记录销毁、绝不允许公开。ThereforeRhodeDikehas not leftCity Stateto greetIduandMetatro, in the surfacepretendsanythingnot to know. Hisveryclearthesetwoguestscanlookhis, when the time comesreceivesagainwarmly. Hemustarrange the finestbanquet, butnotin the City LordyamunorCity StateTemple, butin the oneselfprivate residencebyprivatestatusentertainmentold friend.
所以罗德一迪克没有离开城邦去迎接乔治与梅丹佐,表面上装作什么都不知道。他很清楚这两位客人一定会来找他的,到时候再热情接待吧。他要摆下最精美的宴席,但不是在城主官衙或者城邦神殿里,而是在自己的私宅中以私人的身份招待老朋友。
The behavior of Regimentmilitary officersmakesRhodeDikehave a headachevery much, howeverthisCity Lordhas not actually thought that alsohas the matter that has a headache aboutto wait forhim. Hemorewantsto pretend ignorance, Metatro and Idusoundis bigger, whenthese twoenterCity State, unexpectedlybyHaijiaTempleandsecureRegimentMaster PriestEvanpersonallyaccompanies, manypeoplerunto go out of townoutsidewatch the funalsogreet.军团将领们的行为让罗德一迪克很头疼,然而这位城主却没想到还有更头疼的事情等着他。他越想装聋作哑,梅丹佐与乔治的动静就越大,当这两人进入城邦时,竟然是由海岬神殿以及安・拉军团主神官易彬亲自陪同,很多民众跑出城外既看热闹也是迎接。
After IduandMetatroenter the city, inlining the street to welcome of peopleby the street, inSupreme MageEvan and An-RaRegimentsenior generalandunder the accompaniment of HaijiaCity State'sofficialnoble descent, arrived atRhodedirectly. Before Dikemansiongate .乔治与梅丹佐入城之后,在街道两旁民众们的夹道欢迎之中,在大神术师易彬、安一拉军团的高级将领以及海岬城邦的官员贵胄的陪同下,直接来到了罗德.迪克的府门前。RhodeDike has long known that two„honored guest”todaymustenter a city, has not gone to the yamunintentionally, buthosted the banquetinhome. Hehas not actually thought that will haveso manymilitary officers and officialsis accompanyingIduandMetatrovisitstogether. Sirscollectthisliveliness, a veryimportantreasonwasMaster PriestEvanacts.
罗德一迪克早就知道两位“贵客”今天要进城,故意没有去官衙,而是在家中设好了酒宴。他却没想到会有这么多将领和官员陪着乔治与梅丹佐一起登门。诸位大人们都来凑这个热闹,很重要的一个原因是主神官易彬出面了。HonoredSupreme MageEvanhas assumed personal command for 20yearsinHaijiaCity State, hisposition and prestigeare as good asCity Lord. Evanwelcomed the City State150li (0.5 km), southRed Sea of pastredcapedefense linevestige, sawIduandMetatro, andaccompaniedthem.
尊贵的大神术师易彬已在海岬城邦坐镇二十年,他的地位与声望不亚于城主。易彬迎出了城邦一百五十里,就在当年红岬防线遗迹的赤海南端,见到了乔治和梅丹佐,并陪同他们而来。EvanasHaijiaTempleandsecure, drawingRegimentMaster Priest, withpastAmonand the othersnot the personal friendship, whyhecando that? The reason is very simple11, becauseheis the priestfamily background, moreoverobtainedSupreme Mage of High Levelachievement.易彬身为海岬神殿与安,拉军团的主神官,与当年的阿蒙等人并无私交,他为何要这么做?原因也许很简单一一因为他是祭司出身,而且是取得了高阶成就的大神术师。HetoSpiritual God the beliefunusualabsolute sincerityandfaith was also since childhood firm, was awakened„strength that Spiritual Godgranted”, becomesMage, moreoverless than30years old becomeSupreme Mage, perhapscannotcomparewithMariaorAmonthatworldrareGenius, butitsachievement is also veryastonishing. Heisin a traditional sensestandardPriest, sometimesSpiritual God ” is believing ” nevervacillates.
他自幼对神灵的信奉非常精诚、信念也非常坚定,被唤醒了“神灵所赐予的力量”,成为了一名神术师,而且不到三十岁就成为了大神术师,也许不能与玛利亚或者阿蒙那种世间难得一见的天才相比,但其成就也是非常惊人的。他是一名传统意义上标准的神官,时神灵的”正信”从不动摇。Erlachtcarried out the monotheismto reformin the past, in the Evanheartoncehad the confusion, but can also feel relaxed, heunderstood that attempt of Pharaoh, thinks that the mattermortal of Spiritual God may be unable toinquire. ButafterwardAmon'sappearedmakeshimfall into a biggerconfusion, perhapssought the process of answerto use for 20yearsin the innermost feelings.埃拉赫特当年推行一神教改革,易彬心中曾有困惑,但也能释然,他理解法老的企图,认为神灵发生的事情凡人可能无法过问。但后来阿蒙的出现却使他陷入更大的困惑,在内心中寻求答案的过程也许用了二十年。Amonwas in front ofEvanto wield a swordto cutto break to pieces the Sethidol in HaijiaTemple, thendashed the Templevaultsandto flyto escapeunderadditionalhundredadvantagesaiding to go. Evanknows that personisAmon, looks atRhode. Dikethenlook, whohas clearly recognized the assassinis. Afterwardbut the order of Pharaohpromulgationtampered withoracleobviously, claimed that the name of thatpersonwasSatan.阿蒙是当着易彬的面挥剑斩碎了海岬神殿中的塞特神像,然后撞破神殿的穹顶、在加百利的接应下飞遁而去。易彬知道那人是阿蒙,看罗德。迪克当时的眼神,分明已经认出了刺客是谁。可是后来法老颁布的命令显然是篡改了神谕,声称那个人的名字叫撒旦。
The Amonfirsteven/includingcutto break to pieces the Sethidols in 14City StateTemple, butthatArchangel that Kingdombelieved in actually silentnotcontracted, Sethafterthatas ifcompletelyvanished. WheneverEvanmanageoffers sacrificesceremonyoralone the prayerwhenTemple, the self-question that inheartalsoinwho11weregrants the aid from othersto set, iswhatis directinghimandheevery dayto the Spiritual God that the shrineis paying homage toiswho? AsMaster Priest, he representativepeopleinCity Stateoffers sacrificesandtransmitoracleto the Spiritual Godon behalf of the Spiritual Godto the people. But is thatSpiritual Godreally the Spiritual God of hissincerelybelief?阿蒙一连斩碎了十四座城邦神殿中的塞特神像,而王国所信奉的那位天使长却始终无声无患,从那之后塞特仿佛就完全消失了。每当易彬主持献祭仪式或在神殿中独自祷告时,心中也在不住的自我诘问一一是谁赐予了他力置、是什么在指引他、他每天对着神坛所膜拜的神灵又是谁?身为主神官,他在城邦中代表民众向神灵献祭、又代表神灵向民众传达神谕。可是那神灵真的是他真心信仰的神灵吗?Whensometimesheappearsat the publicsacrificial offeringgrand ceremony, evenfeelsoneselflike an acting in a playclown. Hassuchidea, as a ruleshould notcontinue the strength obtained the Spiritual Godto grant, butEvanreallylost the strength, thismakeshimfeel that frightenedevendesperate, thinks that was the Spiritual Godabandonedhimoris punishinghim.
有时候当他出现在公开的祭祀大典上,甚至感觉自己就像一个演戏的小丑。心存这样的想法,照说不应该继续得到神灵所赐予的力量,而易彬果然失去了力量,这让他感到恐惧甚至绝望,以为是神灵抛弃了他或是在惩罚他。Thisconditionpuzzled the Evannearlytenyears, becausehas not hadwhatwar, no onecansee that thislordDivine Palacecannotusemagic power. Finally, whenEvancanaccept the present situationconfidently, acknowledgedin the oneselfheartnot to believeSethalsono longerto the Sethprayer, when preparedtoEgypt Empireturned in the resignation letter, actuallydiscovered that strengthrestoration of marvelouslyoneself, becomesEighth LevelSupreme Mage.
这种状况困扰了易彬近十年,由于并没有发生什么战争,没人能看出这位主神宫已经不能使用法力。终于有一天,当易彬能够坦然接受现状,承认自己心中并不信仰塞特也不再向塞特祷告,准备向埃居帝国提出辞呈时,却发现自己的力量奇迹般的恢复了,成为了一名八级大神术师。Evanactuallyfell into a deeperpondersince then, manyissuesdeeplybury at heart, untilrecentsomeday, hisfor many yearspuzzledas ifvanished, becausehelistened respectfully to the An-Ragodto explain.易彬却从此陷入了更深的思考,很多问题都深埋在心里,直到最近的某一天,他多年来的困惑仿佛都消失了,因为他聆听到了安一拉的神喻。Understanding of thisSupreme Magetooraclehas not beenAn-Raarrives at the worldwithotherpersontoowide difference11originalAmon, butSethdoes not seize the chanceto rebelin the spacewhileAn-Ra, whenAmonreturns to the spaceafter the worldcutto fallSeth, thesemade the issue that onecould not think throughobtain the perfectexplanation.
这位大神术师对神谕的理解与其他人并没有太大差别一一原来阿蒙就是安一拉降临人间,而塞特是趁安一拉不在天上趁机作乱,当阿蒙从人间回到天上之后斩落了塞特,那些令人想不通的问题都得到了完美的解释。RegardingEvanthispriest, oracle that in the faithacceptsfirmlyis more authoritative than the order of Pharaoh. Moreoverhecanachievethisposition, inevitablyis not only a bookworm who reads alouddivine languageandcultivationMagic Technique, saw the ErlachtPharaohpresentsituation. Pharaohsends outprepares the City State'sorder, althoughis harshly worded, buthas revealedoutwardly fierce but inwardly faint-hearted, preparesCity State not to carry out.
对于易彬这种祭司来说,坚定地信念中所接受的神谕比法老的命令更有权威。而且他能做到这个位置,必然不会只是一位念诵神文、修炼神术的书呆子,也看出了埃拉赫特法老如今的处境。法老发往备城邦的命令虽然措辞严厉,但已显色厉内荏,备城邦都不愿意执行。„Destroys the oraclerecord, does not permitabsolutelyopenly”, thislooks likeinEvanisblaspheming, is more incompatiblewith the law of empire. Let aloneisyounggodAn-Raoracle, even if thatso-calledevilgodSethoracle, looks likeinEvanshouldissue.
“销毁神谕记录,绝对不允许公开”,这在易彬看来是一种亵渎,更与帝国的法令不符。别说是夭神安一拉的神谕,哪怕是那所谓邪神塞特的神谕,在易彬看来都应该发布出去。Actually the Spiritual Godwillhow, might as wellmakes the worldcomment on.
神灵的意志究竟如何,不妨让世人们去评说。Thereforeinheis not willingto carry out the order of Pharaoh, andhowsends peopleto send out the confidential letterto consulthemost respectableSupreme MageWalde to do? Ninth LevelSupreme MageWaldeis old, has rarely processed the trivial matters, hegivesEvanreplymeaningfula few words: „ Seeks for the brightglory, waits for the righttime. „ Whatis the righttimeis intimate? Naturallymostunderstandslike a RhodeDikethisgovernmentexpert, suchsignificantmatterEvannaturallymustdiscusswithDikeCity Lord. RhodeDike is actually indecisive, hesuggested that does not destroy the oraclerecordbutnot to announcetemporarily: Carries outregarding the Pharaohordersurfaceinhoweverdelayssecretly;Recruitsartisanto repair the Sethidol the matterfirstto arrange, butdo not begineagerly.
所以他内心中不愿意执行法老的命令,并且派人送出密信请教他最尊敬的大神术师沃尔德该怎么做?九级大神术师沃尔德年事已高,已经很少处理俗务,他给易彬的回信只有意味深长的一句话:“寻找光明的荣耀,等待正确的时机。“什么叫正确的时机昵?像罗德一迪克这种官场老手自然最懂,这么重大的事情易彬当然要与迪克城主商量。罗德一迪克却是犹豫不决,他建议既不销毁神谕记录但也暂时不公布:对于法老的命令表面上执行但是暗地里拖延;征召工匠重修塞特神像的事情先筹备,但不要急于开工。According toRhodeDikeknew, otherCity State that approachedalsohadsimilarattitude, did not violate the order of Pharaohto promulgateoraclepublicly, butshirepaired the Sethidol the matteralsoto delayin secret. Whoseeveryoneis waiting forfirstto raise the objection, the conflictmustarrivesooner or later, butlaunching an attackoftenwill first encounter the most serioussuppression, possiblybecomes the firstsacrificial victim.
据罗德一迪克所知,临近的其他城邦也采取了类似的态度,既不公开违反法老的命令颁布神谕,但埘重修塞特神像的事情也是暗中拖延。大家都在等着有谁第一个提出异议,冲突迟早要到来,但首先发难者往往会遭到最严重的打压,可能成为第一个牺牲品。
In this case, IduandMetatroarrived atHaijiaCity State. Evanhears the newsto go out of town150li (0.5 km), sawthesetwodistantguestsin the south end of originalredcapedefense line. SouthRed Seaonthisnarrowchoke point, militaryfort, isDashi Town that the caravancommunicationstops over, the localgarrisonmilitary officeris just aboutto hold a banquet, listens toMaster PriestEvanto harnesssuddenlysuddenly.
就是在这种情况下,乔治与梅丹佐来到了海岬城邦。易彬闻讯出城一百五十里,在原红岬防线的南端见到了这两位远方来客。赤海南端这条狭窄的咽喉要道上,有一个军事要塞,也是商队来往经停的大市镇,当地的驻军将领正要举行一场宴会,忽听主神官易彬突然驾到。EvanseesIduandMetatro, firstexplained the purpose in coming: „Iampeaceful. drawingRegimentandHaijiaCity StatepresentMaster Priest, respectstwomerits and prestige, rushes tohereto greetspecially.”易彬见到乔治和梅丹佐,首先说明了来意:“我是安.拉军团与海岬城邦如今的主神官,敬仰二位的功绩与声望,特意赶到此处迎接。”Iduhumblesaying with a smile: „Wereturn toEgyptin a private capacity, sawpast the old friend, does not wantto alarmSirEvan.”乔治谦逊的笑道:“我们只是以私人身份回埃居,看望昔日故友,没想惊动易彬大人。”Metatrospoke frankly: „SirEvan, yourunspeciallyseeus, doesn't wantto expresswarmandpolite? Ifthere is a matter, might as wellspoke frankly.”梅丹佐却直言不讳道:“易彬大人,你特意跑这么远来见我们,不会只是想表示热情和礼貌吧?如果有事,就不妨直说吧。”Evanbowsto salute saying: „Some of mynotmattersrequested, butlooks for an answer. You are not only peaceful 0 set up the Regimentfounder, but also is the God Amonfollower. EspeciallySirIduoncewithmewas the samefamily background, actuallywitnessed the worldtrueSpiritual God.

ThereforeIwantto seeyou, thenpondered how shouldface the Spiritual God?”易彬躬身行礼道:“我并非有事相求,只是来寻找一种答案。你们不仅是安0立军团的元勋,而且是阿蒙神的追随者。尤其是乔治大人曾经与我是一样的出身,却见证了人间真正的神灵。我曾立下誓言要信奉神灵、维护神灵的荣耀,可当神灵来到人间的时候,自以为最接近神灵的祭司们却睁眼不识。所以我想见到你们,然后去思考该如何面对神灵?”
The Idusoundresoundsinhissoulquietly: „SirMaster Priest, youwhetherreceivedsecure, oracle of drawing?”乔治的声音悄然在他的灵魂中响起:“主神官大人,你是否接到了安,拉的神谕?”Evanalsorepliedquietly: „Yes, this mattermakesmysoulanxious, Pharaohwill orderto destroy the recordneverto publicize.”易彬也悄然答道:“是的,正是此事让我的灵魂不安,法老下令销毁记录永不公开。”Idu: „Is Pharaohthisorderstupid?”乔治:“法老这个命令愚蠢吗?”Evan: „Stupid, butis also helpless, a destinybody of ErlachtthisnameandSeth, hedoes not haveotherchoice.”易彬:“愚蠢但也无奈,埃拉赫特这个名字与塞特的命运一体,他没有别的选择。”Idu: „Can youalsoonlycarry outsuchorder?”乔治:“那你也只能执行这样的命令喽?”Evanshows the look that sought for advice: „TodaywhatIgreetisGod AmonEmissary, thishad explained that Ido not wantto carry out the order of Pharaoh. You come here to have the direction of God Amoninevitably, Iwantto know that whatthisdirectionis?”易彬露出求教的神色:“我今天迎接的是阿蒙神的使者,这已经说明我不想执行法老的命令了。你们来到这里必然带着阿蒙神的指引,我很想知道这指引是什么?”Idubeckons with the handto saygently: „YourIam not a puppet, shouldknow that whatoneselfdoes wantto make, to makewhat? Sinceyoucame, thatpleasehelpbusy. WemustenterpersonHaijiaCity Stateto visitRhode. Dike, the scenemustthe bigger the better, had better be ablecallAn-RaRegimentvarioussenior generalandCity State'sfellowSirsvisitstogether.”乔治轻轻一摆手道:“你我都不是傀儡,应该知道自己想做什么、又能做什么?既然你来了,那就请帮一个忙。我们要进人海岬城邦拜访罗德.迪克,场面要越大越好,最好能召集安一拉军团的各高级将领和城邦的各位大人们一起登门。”RhodeDikeplannedto waitat home, very„accidental/surprised”welcomedvisitsMetatroandIdu that. Butnowthisscenemakeshim unable to installagain, after hearing the news, mustopen the mansiondoorto welcomepersonallyoutside, sawEvanand the othersfar away.
罗德一迪克原本打算在家里等着,很“意外”的迎来登门的梅丹佐和乔治。但如今这场面让他再也装不下去了,听说消息之后,只得打开府门亲自迎到外面,大老远就看见了易彬等人。Rhode. Dikewas the slippery customer of way one treats people, went forwardto turn towardMetatroandIduquicklystretches out the arms saying: „Manyyearsrare! Ihad arranged the good winedelicaciesin the mansion, todaymustdrink to heart's contentsurelywell! GeneralsandSirsin?! Takes a seatto hobnobandnot be drunktogetherdoes not turn over.”
罗德.迪克是个待人接物的老油条了,快步上前向着梅丹佐和乔治张开双臂道:“多年难得一见啊!我早已在府中备好了美酒佳肴,今日定要好好畅饮一番!诸位将军与大人们都在啊?来来来!一同入席共饮、不醉不归。”Metatrohehesmiles, looks atRhode. Dikesaid: „SirCity Lord, youwere fat!”梅丹佐呵呵一笑,看着罗德.迪克道:“城主大人,你胖了!”RhodeDikeoncewasEgyptyoungestCity Lord, hecompared withAmongreatlyten years old, this yearalready56. Thisagehas entered the later yearsregarding the average persongradually, butRhodeDikeis notbignoble that can only have a high and respected position, heisSixth LevelWarrior, the Physique Techniqueachievementis not quite low.
罗德一迪克曾经是埃居最年轻的城主,他比阿蒙大十岁,今年已经五十六。这个年纪对于普通人来说已渐入暮年,但罗德一迪克并非是一名只会养尊处优的大贵族,他还是一名六级武士,体术的成就已经相当不低了。Although the presentstaturesomeput on weightslightly, buthefor many yearshad not left uncultivatedMartial Skillcultivation, after all is Legion Commanderhasin the possibility the battlefield. Althoughhehad not becomeGreat Warrior, butbody and spiritstillstrong. This momentthisSixth LevelWarriornaturallydoes not have the saber, onlydoesdresses updaily, welcomedin the mansionto exhibit the banquet the people, tocelebrate the old friendhad a reunion.
如今的身材虽有些微微发福,但他多年来并没有荒废武技的修炼,毕竟身为军团长是有可能上战场的。虽然他一直没有成为大武士,但体魄依然健硕。此刻这位六级武士当然没有佩剑,只做日常打扮,将众人迎进府中摆开宴席,为了庆祝故人重逢。IduandMetatrothisdoes not knowatemanybanquet, isthisfoodto be most luxurioustoday, on the tableputs the good foodis the finegold and silverhousehold utensils. Rhode. Dikeis very warminproposes a toastto urge to drink, recalledpast years'smanypast events that continuouslyat the session, talked about the place unable to bear the feelingsobwith emotions. Howeverthis„intelligent”City Lorddid not ask that MetatroandIdupurpose in coming, was on the 1 st narrates.乔治与梅丹佐这一路也不知吃了多少顿酒席,就属今天这顿饭最为奢华,桌上盛放美食的都是精美的金银器皿。罗德.迪克很热情在席间不住的敬酒劝酒,也回忆起了当年的许多往事,谈到动情处忍不住感慨唏嘘。但是这位“聪明”的城主却一直不问梅丹佐和乔治的来意,就是叙一日而已。When the liquordrinkswas similar, at the sessiongeneraluntiefront piece, on the foreheadstartedto emit the hotperspiration, MetatrotowardRhode. Dikeraised glasshintto stand.
等酒喝的差不多了,席间各位将军都解开衣襟,脑门上开始冒出热汗了,梅丹佐朝着罗德.迪克举杯示意站了起来。Rhode. Dikehurriesalso the setting outendcup saying: „SirMetatro, shouldbeIrespectsyourliquor, comes, makingmefilltoyoupersonally!”
罗德.迪克赶紧也起身端杯道:“梅丹佐大人,应该是我敬您酒,来来来,让我亲手给您斟满!”Metatroactuallyputs out a handto prevent saying: „SirCity Lord, youfirstdo not worryto givemeto propose a toast. Thisglass of liquorareIcarryforGod Amon, sinceyouhave raised glass, isthis/shouldfirstrespectsGod Amon?”梅丹佐却伸手阻止道:“城主大人,你先别着急给我敬酒。这杯酒是我替阿蒙神端起来的,你既然已经举杯,是不是该先敬阿蒙神?”RhodeDikereplied: „Thisglass of good wines, makingusworship piously the Spiritual Godtogether.”
罗德・迪克答道:“这杯美酒,让我们一起敬奉神灵。”Rhode. Dikemayno onepropose a toastalone, hecalledeveryonepresent, moreoverwhatin the mouthsaidwas„worships piouslySpiritual God”, finallynumerouspositiongeneralraising glassstood getting uphighsound said:
罗德.迪克可没有一个人独自敬酒,他叫上了在座的所有人,而且口中说的是“敬奉神灵”,结果众位将军都举杯站了起来高声道:„Worships piouslyGod Amon!”ThenotherSirsalsosectionsstood, whatsomepeoplesaidis„worships piously the Spiritual God!”Whatsomepeoplesaidis„worships piouslyGod Amon!”In any casethiscup of liquoreveryoneentirerespect.
“敬奉阿蒙神!”然后其他大人们也部站了起来,有人说的是“敬奉神灵!”有人说的是“敬奉阿蒙神!”反正这杯酒大家全敬了。
After putting down the cup, Metatrohas not actually sat down, the straightforwardopens the mouthsaid: „DikeCity Lord, ourthesepays a visittime, isGod Amonholdsmeto askyourtwoquestions.”
放下杯子之后,梅丹佐却没坐下,直截了当的开口道:“迪克城主,我们这一次登门拜访,是阿蒙神托我问你两个问题。”Rhode, Dikecomplained of hardshipsecretly, the matter that hewantsto avoidcould not hideeventually, Metatroaskedtaking advantage ofthissituationin the presence of everyone, so long asmadehimopen the mouth, afterwardwas hardto explain. ThisCity Lordhas the hesitation of flash, sighedin secret, butput down the wine glassto bowto salute saying: „Does God Amonhavewhatinstructions?”
罗德,迪克暗暗叫苦啊,他想回避的事情终究还是躲不了,梅丹佐借这个场合当众发问,只要让他开了口,事后就难以解释了。这位城主有一瞬间的犹豫,暗中叹息一声,但还是放下酒杯躬身行礼道:“请问阿蒙神有何谕示?”Mentionedalsostrangely, a these wordsexit|to speak, RhodeDikeuneasyinnermost feelingsinsteadbecameconfident. Actuallyhewantsto know that whatAmonwill saytohimone by one?
说来也奇怪,这句话一出口,罗德一迪克原本忐忑不安的内心反而变得坦然了。其实他很想知道一一阿蒙会对他说什么?Onlylistens toMetatroat a moderate paceasking: „An-Rahad loweredoracle, whyHaijiaCity Stateactuallycovered the Spiritual Godsound, to hoodwink the ear of people, hasn't promulgated? HaijiaCity Statereceivesoracle, whyalsoisn't publicit? RhodeDikeCity Lord, ifmakesyoumake the decision of sincerity, howyouare willingto do-) Spiritual Godandthinks that did not blameanyone, butwanted the answer!”
只听梅丹佐不紧不慢的问道:“安一拉已经降下了神谕,为何海岬城邦却掩盖了神灵的声音、蒙蔽了人们的耳朵,至今尚未颁布呢?海岬城邦是否接到神谕,又为何不将它公开?罗德一迪克城主,如果让您做出真心的决定,你愿意怎么做-)神灵并想不责怪谁,只是要答案而已!”RhodeDikehas not replied, Master PriestEvanactuallycontinued, having the terrifiedcolorto bowto reply: „HaijiaCity StatetrulyreceivedAn-Raoracle, Temple PriestandDikeCity Lordknows the circumstances of the matter. Whyas forcannotannounce, this not strangeDikeCity Lord, becausePharaohissuedordered secretly11to destroy the oraclerecord, not to permitopenly.”
罗德一迪克尚未答话,主神官易彬却接过了话头,带着惶恐之色躬身答道:“海岬城邦确实接到了安一拉的神谕,诸位神殿祭司以及迪克城主都是知情的。至于为何未能公布,这不怪迪克城主,因为法老下达了密令一一销毁神谕记录、不允许公开。”ThisSupreme Magetruthsaying, the peoplepresent is a shock, most of themdo not know that thismatter, hearstoday for the first time. The peoplepursuein abundanceask: „RespectableSupreme Mage, actuallyAn-Ra did DeitylowerwhatinstructionsandPharaohwhynot to makepublic? In any casehereis the oneselfperson, yousaid!”
这位大神术师把实话给说了出来,在座众人是一片震惊,他们中的绝大多数人并不知道这件事,今天还是第一次听说。众人纷纷追问道:“尊敬的大神术师,安一拉天神究竟降下了什么谕示、法老又为何不让公开呢?反正这里都是自己人,您就说出来吧!”
The words of City Stateofficialsare polite, butthesegeneralshave wantedto pound on the tableto shout a question.城邦官员们的话还算客气,而那些将军们已经想拍着桌子喝问了。Evanlooked atIduonewith the vision of questionnaire, Idushowed a faint smile, butMetatrohighsound said: „ StupidPharaoh, hethinks that hisordercanprevent the Spiritual God the will?易彬用征求的目光看了乔治一眼,乔治只是微微一笑,而梅丹佐又高声道:“愚蠢的法老,难道他以为他的命令能阻止神灵的意志?SirMaster PriestandSirCity Lord, youhave not thought that ifsecure, drawing, whenCity Stateholds the grand ceremonylowersoracle, to makeallpeoplehear, can yoube able to cover? ”主神官大人、城主大人,你们就没有想一想,如果安,拉在城邦举行大典的时候降下神谕、让所有民众都听见,你们能捂得住吗?”Evancannot bearremindlow voice: „Since the ancient times, oracleonlyarrivesinTempletoprayingpriest, has not madeallpeoplelisten respectfullyin the grand ceremony.”易彬忍不住小声提醒道:“自古以来,神谕只在神殿中降临给祷告的祭司,从来没有在大典中让所有民众聆听。”Thistruth, the Pivot Sky ContinentvariousPantheonSpiritual Godarrive atoracleactuallytime, passespriest in Temple. Sometimesispriestfor the specificevent, will give the instructionto the Spiritual Godprayerrequest, the Spiritual God may give the instructions;Sometimespriestwill hear the Spiritual Godwhen the dailyprayer the sound, thisisoracle that is issuedby the Spiritual Godon own initiative.
这倒是实情,天枢大陆诸神系的神灵降临神谕的时候,都是通过神殿中的祭司。有时候是祭司们为了特定的事件,向神灵祷告请求给予指示,神灵会可能给予谕示;有时候祭司们在日常祷告时会听见神灵的声音,这是由神灵主动下达的神谕。Templeispeopleoffers sacrificesandacceptsto the Spiritual God the oracleplace, butpriest in Temple is not only the organizer of offering sacrifices, is the Spiritual Godin the spokesman of the world. The Spiritual Goddoes this, at leasthasthreeadvantage:神殿是人们向神灵献祭并接受神谕的地方,而神殿中的祭司既是献祭的组织者,也是神灵在人间的代言人。神灵这样做,至少有三个好处:First, canwith the aid ofstyle that the theocracy and monarchial powerunify, forms the domain of stabledivine powerorigin. The Spiritual Godis impossibleto cultivateTemplepersonally, Templeis the City Stateconstruction of the world. Second, canavoidmanyconflictsor the questions, whenpeople have been discontented, often will directly not aim at the Spiritual God, butwashatesthesepriestto violateGod's will.
一是能借助神权和君权相结合的方式,形成稳定的神力源泉之领域。神灵不可能亲自去修神殿,神殿都是人间的城邦建造的。二是能够回避很多冲突或质疑,当人们有所不满时,往往不会直接针对神灵,而是怨恨那些祭司们违反了神的意志。
The thirdadvantageis obvious, thatismost convenient. Theoretically the Spiritual GodcanhearinDivine Domain the prayers of allbelieversandsummons, butheis in fact impossibleto distinguish the innumerableintentionsalwayswith rapt attention. prieston behalf of the peopleto the Spiritual Godprayer, the matter of primary importanceinspecificceremonywill tell the Spiritual God, solvedthisproblem.
第三个好处是显而易见的,那就是最方便。理论上神灵可以听见神域中所有信众的祷告和呼唤,但实际上他也不可能无时无刻都在凝神分辨着无数的心念。祭司代表民众向神灵祷告,在特定的仪式中将最重要的事情告诉神灵,就解决了这个问题。
The Spiritual God can allbelieve inhispeoplespeechtheoretically, butmanySpiritual Goddo not havesohugemagic power, particularlysomeNinth LevelDivine Emissarywere also presentedas the Spiritual God, theydid not havethisskill. Spiritual Godnotalwaysin the world, whentheyplaceDivine State, verydifficultlike the directandordinarymortalwhen the worldexchangesin the soul.
神灵理论上可以向所有信奉他的民众说话,但很多神灵并不拥有如此庞大的法力,尤其是有些九级神使也被奉为神灵,他们就更没有这个本事了。况且神灵并不总在人间,当他们身处神国的时候,很难像在人间时一样直接与普通凡人在灵魂中交流。At this timemusttransmitoraclethroughspecificstyle, reposed the incarnationin the idolissimplymost effective, was equivalent to the Spiritual God the sensationto extend, can prayingpriest under mediationconditionmakes the instructions.
这时候就要通过特定的方式来传达神谕,在神像中寄托化身是最简单最有效的,相当于神灵的感知延伸,可以向祷告冥想状态下的祭司做出谕示。Metatrointhissituationwill not explainis clear aboutthesematters, moreoversomewhatis mysterioushenot to grasp, butIdu that had not opened the mouthspokefinally.梅丹佐自不会在这种场合解释清楚这些事,况且其中有些玄妙他本人还没掌握呢,而一直没开口的乔治终于说话了。( to be continued )
