Truly speaking, since Hao Renis actually waiting forseniorgeneralthese wordsthesemore than tendaysheclimbs mountains and crosses riversin the wildernessandMang of LinliKoloworld, butpeacefulfoodhas not eaten, even ifheandinVeronicadifferentspacedoes not lack the food and drink, sittinginbarren hillYelinlialsodefinitelyis not the goodenvironment of eating meal, therefore a Marquessayingserved a meal, Hao Renfeltimmediatelythisold manwas pleasing to the eyes......
说实在的,郝仁其实就等着老将军这句话呢这十几天以来他在科洛世界的荒原和莽林里跋山涉水,可是一顿安生饭都没吃过,哪怕他和维罗妮卡的异空间里不缺吃喝,坐在荒山野林里也肯定不是吃饭的好环境,所以玛古斯一说开饭,郝仁顿时就感觉这老头顺眼多了……
The seniorgeneralspoke frankly that the westernboundaryfortenvironmentis limited, butPrincessVeronicais not the person of making excessive demands, thereforethissimplereceptionfeastdirectly conducts inthiscrudereception room, butquickHao Renalsoknows,at present such crudereception room is actually west the boundarywants the Ceryspecificationhighestplace: Thisfortexternallygrandgrand, butitfrom inside to outsideis the purestronghold, here to resist the chaosstrengthsuppose, without the unnecessarydecorationdoes not have the unnecessaryluxury goods, the room that Marqueslives inalsojustcancompared withordinarysoldierbigone. Uses the complete strengthto resist the chaos, allsqueezesto turn intomilitary forcethisfor the resources that leads a life of comfortpersonallyis the normal state of borderperson.
老将军坦言西境要塞环境有限,而维罗妮卡公主也不是什么苛求的人,因此这场简单的接风宴就直接在这个简陋的会客室里进行,而很快郝仁也就知道,眼前这么简陋的会客室其实已经是西境要塞里规格最高的地方了:这座要塞从外观上宏伟壮丽,但它从内到外都是个纯粹的战斗堡垒,这里的一切都是为了抵御混沌力量而设,没有多余的装饰也没有多余的奢侈品,就连玛古斯住的房间也只不过能比普通士兵大一圈而已。倾尽全部力量来抵御混沌,将所有用于个人享乐的资源都压榨出来变成武力这就是边境人的生活常态。
But the receptionfeastis not sumptuous, is deliciousenough and richnutrition, the frontlinesoldierfights a bloody battleevery day, so long as the upper layer of kingdom the brainwill not have the issuedefinitelynot to put in great inconvenience tohereofficersin the provisions, the freshvegetablesand a softfragrantdoughwill make the Hao Renappetiteopengreatly, butsometypecooks the thick soup that generatedalsoto makehimrapidlyalleviatefor the last few daysexhausted under accumulationwith the fungus category.
但接风宴虽不丰盛,却也足够可口且富有营养,前线士兵每日浴血奋战,王国的上层只要脑子没问题就肯定不会在给养上委屈了这里的将士,新鲜的蔬菜和一种松软香甜的面饼让郝仁胃口大开,而某种用菌类熬制出的浓汤也让他迅速缓解了连日来积累下的疲惫。Himeats the thingtimetakes undivided attention, butPrincessVeronicaattentionhas not placedon the presentmealobviously. Thisprincess'sunusualchangeto the chaosborderis anxious: „When does monsterattack a cityfromstartsspecifically?”
他这边吃东西的时候是心无旁骛,可维罗妮卡公主的注意力显然没怎么放在眼前的饭菜上。这位公主殿下对混沌边境的异常变化非常忧虑:“怪物攻城具体是从什么时候开始的?”„On the day of the princess you are missing,”Marquessitsopposite of the table, the hugebuildmakeshimlielike the tablegiant beast, „saidaccurately, after was the entireshadowjungledefense linecollapses the fourthhour, when the chaosstrengtharrived in peak condition in a day, thesethingssuddenlyappearedfrom the air. Thisattackabsolutelydoes not have the omen, even the magicinside the tower'ssorcerershave not detectedwhatsign, if notwestin the boundaryfortouter wallhasorderrune/symbolwriting of continuing forever, perhapsfirst round of attacksweanti-.”
“就在公主殿下您失踪那天,”玛古斯坐在桌子对面,巨大的体型让他像个趴在桌旁的巨兽一样,“确切地讲,是整个暗影丛林防线崩溃之后的第四个小时当混沌力量抵达一天中的巅峰状态,那些东西就突然从空气中出现了。这次攻击完全没有预兆,连魔法塔里的巫师们也没察觉什么迹象,如果不是西境要塞外墙上有永续的秩序符文,恐怕第一轮攻击我们都抗不过去。”Veronicanods: „Has the laterattackcontinued?”维罗妮卡点点头:“之后的攻击一直持续么?”„Continues from onetothreedayseach time, the middletime intervalis uncertain, the chaospace back and forthoutside the city, no matter the strength of tower of torchscattersmanytimesthem, thesethingweakeningsignsdo not haveprobably. To be honest, Ithought that thisis very discomforting: This yearis the seventhyear of tide of chaos, after going through the peak, theyshoulddeclinegraduallyare right, but the presentsituation...... isitis being strengthenedseem like.”
“每次持续一至三天,中间的间隔时间则不定,混沌就在城外徘徊,不管薪火之塔的力量将它们打散多少次,那些东西都好像一点削弱的迹象都没有。说实话,我觉得这很令人不安:今年已经是混沌之潮的第七个年头了,度过巅峰期之后,它们应该渐渐衰落才对,但现在的情况……倒像是它正在增强。”„Inkingdom......”
“王国境内……”„Goddessasylum, the pathwas still unimpeded, the contacthas not interrupted, although the westernboundarymountainous regioncorridoralsohas the smallstockchaosstrengthto infiltrate, butalsoenoughthreatensinadequately. Ifevenin the kingdomaidinterrupts, herehas not beenthisscene.”
“女神庇护,道路仍然畅通,联络也还没中断,西境山地走廊虽然也有小股混沌力量渗透,但还够不成威胁。如果连王国境内的援助都中断的话,这里早就不是这幅光景喽。”Veronicarelaxes: „Thatis good, the Royal FatherandGeneralGronshouldalreadyin the discussioncountermeasure.”维罗妮卡松了口气:“那就好,父王和葛罗恩将军应该已经在商讨对策了。”„Countermeasure? Perhaps is very difficult any effective remedy,”seniorgeneralshakes the head, „your highness, Ihad foughtsevenyears of warwith the chaos, moreoverin the year of orderIalsocontinuouslyinresistsin the kingdomforyourRoyal Father the every large or smallchaostearingpoint, whatenemyI am very clearweto face, itmay not knowcontrollably, althoughmentionedsorrowfully, howeverfacing the wave of sea of Karnos, humanalways can only passive receive, the passiveresistance, weeveryreturn alivefrom the tide of chaosonetimeis notbecause the mortaldefeatedit, butwas onlybecausebeforeweexterminatedtideonfinishing. The Capitalgatemedicinewas tender. Ifthistidereallyilluminatesthissituationto continue, the old mancandowasdied in battlehere. Protractedenoughtimethisis the onlycountermeasure.”
“对策?恐怕很难有什么有效对策,”老将军摇摇头,“殿下,我已经跟混沌打了七年仗,而且在秩序之年里我也一直在为您的父王对抗王国境内大大小小的混沌撕裂点,我很清楚我们在面对什么样的敌人,它是不可知不可控的,虽然说来悲哀,然而面对卡尔诺斯之海的潮涌,人类从来都只能被动接受,被动抵抗,我们每一次从混沌之潮下生还都不是因为凡人战胜了它,而只是因为在我们灭绝之前潮汐就结束了而已京门医娇。如果这次大潮真的照这个态势继续下去,老头子能做的就是战死在这里。拖延足够的时间这就是唯一的对策。”Hao Renraised the head, somewhatlooks atMarquessurprisedly.郝仁抬起头来,有些惊讶地看着玛古斯。Hehas not thought that fromthisinseniorgeneralmouth that seems like the blood and ironhears the sopessimisticdesperatewords, oncethis words saying from the opposite partymouth, heknows that thisis the Kolopersonalready the reality that accepted.
他没想到会从这个看似铁血的老将军口中听到如此悲观绝望的话语,然而一旦这种话从对方口中说出来,他就知道这已经是科洛人早已接受的现实了。In this case, the old gentleman can also say the dying in battleincidentconfidently, thismostis worthadmiring.
在这种情况下,老爷子还能坦然说出战死一事,这才是最值得敬佩的。Veronicaalsoknowsobviously the words of seniorgeneralare the truth, she can only bite the lip: „...... Iknew. In additionhas a matter, infurnace fireoutpostaboutshadowjungle......”维罗妮卡显然也知道老将军的话就是实情,她只能咬咬嘴唇:“……我知道了。另外还有一件事,关于暗影丛林里的炉火哨站……”„After‚on that day’, uslost and contacts of alloutposts,”Marquesspreads out the hand, „chaosattackis quite frequent, moreoverblocked all road junctions between fortsandjungledefense linescompletely, wemost outstandingscoutingis unable to pass throughtheseshadows, until recently, oneteam of dare-to-die corpssuccessfullycrossed the chaosblockadeto findfrom a fortrecentoutpost, is livingscoutingonly hadtwo people, the news that hadwas very bad.”
“在‘那天’之后,我们就失去了和所有哨站的联络,”玛古斯摊开手,“混沌袭击相当频繁,而且完全封锁了要塞和丛林防线之间的所有道口,我们最优秀的斥候也无法穿过那些暗影,直到最近,才有一队敢死队成功越过混沌封锁找到了距离要塞最近的一座哨站,活着回来的斥候只有两人,带回来的消息很糟糕。”„Iknow that......”Veronicadanglingview, „fortgarrison troopsdied, seems likediesof the hysterical/frenzy.”
“我知道……”维罗妮卡垂下眼帘,“要塞守军都死了,似乎是死于狂乱。”Marquessupports the handon the table, the flashing eyessee the princess: „Youandyourknightspassed through the entireforestmarvelously, youmayknow that actuallytheredid havewhat?”
玛古斯将手撑在桌子上,目光炯炯地看着公主殿下:“您和您的骑士们奇迹般地穿越了整个森林,您可知道那里究竟发生了什么?”Veronicais shaking the head: „Iam also confused, General, theseoutpostshave not received the attack the trace, allconstructionpreservationare complete, the weapon cachehad not even been opened, butinsidegarrison troopsdied. Howeverwefoundsomeclues, the commanders in someoutpostsas ifinsistedperiphery the furnace fireinstallmentcompared withotherpersonlongertime, theystay behind......”维罗妮卡摇着头:“我也是一头雾水,将军,那些哨站都没有受到袭击的痕迹,所有建筑保存完整,武器库甚至都没被打开过,只是里面的守军死光了而已。不过我们还是找到一些线索,部分哨站的指挥官在炉火装置周围似乎坚持了比其它人更长的时间,他们留下……”Veronica the discoveriesintheseoutpoststellsher, inentiretold that in the processMarqueshas not interrupted, the seniorgenerallistens quietlywith rapt attention, on the face the eyebrow of thatpair of military mightpestersgraduallytogether.维罗妮卡将她在那些哨站中的发现娓娓道来,在整个讲述过程中玛古斯都没有插嘴,老将军只是凝神静听,脸上那双威武的眉毛渐渐纠缠在一起。„Weknow nothingaboutthesethingsunexpectedly,”Marques'sexpressionis gloomy, „IdisappointedyourRoyal Father.”
“我们对这些事情竟一无所知,”玛古斯的表情阴沉可怕,“我辜负了你的父王。”„General, the manpowerhas the limit,”Veronicasaidcomfortably,„youcandefend the westernboundaryfortressareto the kingdommaximummerit. In the shadowjungle the matter is passingeverywherestrangelyaccident that not only the furnace fireoutpostencounters, evenmysame daylosingalsoverysomefishy, missioncountry, althoughis always arrogant, butinmanycenturies of pasttheymaynevercrossthismistake, all thesethingsare worth going into seriously, the kinginscholarsperhapswere the onlyprospect.”
“将军,人力有极限,”维罗妮卡宽慰道,“您能守住西境这座堡垒就已经是对王国最大的功绩了。暗影丛林里发生的事情处处透着古怪不只是炉火哨站遭遇的变故,连我当日的兵败也很有些蹊跷,教团国虽然一向高傲,但在过去的许多个世纪里他们可从未翻过这种过错,所有这些事情都值得我们深究,王都里的学者们恐怕是唯一的指望了。”Marquesknits the brows: „Scholars...... also can only count onthem. The matter of westboundaryfrontoccurrencemustreturn the kingsimmediately, my arranges the messenger.”
玛古斯皱了皱眉:“学者们……也只能指望他们了。西境战线发生之事必须立即回报王都,我这就安排信使。”„Messenger?” The Veronicaeyebrowselects, „transport unit......”
“信使?”维罗妮卡眉毛一挑,“传送装置……”„Tendays ago cannotuse,”Marquesis shaking the head, „disturbanceis day by day strong, the sorcererssaid that sky overAinzhas the shadowvortextogethergraduallyto take shape, the spatial structure in mainlandbecomesveryunstable, nowexcept for the kingdomcenter, the spacetransmissions of otherareashas stopped usingcompletely.”
“十天前就不能用了,”玛古斯摇着头,“干扰一天比一天强,巫师们说安苏上空有一道暗影漩涡正在逐渐成型,大陆上的空间结构变得很不稳定,现在除了王国腹地,其它地区的空间传送已经全部停用。”Veronicathinks,saiddecisively: „...... ThatI must return tokingone.”维罗妮卡想了想,果断地说:“……那我也要回王都一趟。”„Un, youreturn alivesafely, your majestywants certainlyto seeyouimmediately.”
“嗯,您平安生还,陛下一定很想立刻见到您。”„Not onlythisreason,”Veronicaputs downin the hand the tableware, lookstonearbyHao Ren, „the tour of our chaosexperiencedmanyinconceivablethings, something told the Royal Fatherto compareto feel relievedpersonally, moreovermy younger sister...... sheexperiencedare more, perhapswas interestedmyaudienceto come from the differentdimensionin the protectorSir. MeanwhileIalsoinworryinternal stability, ifIdo not make an appearance, somepeoplepossiblyshould unable to sit still.”
“不只是这个原因,”维罗妮卡放下手中餐具,看向一旁的郝仁,“我们这次混沌之行经历了很多不可思议的事情,有些事还是亲自告诉父王比较放心,而且我的妹妹……她见识更多一些,或许对守护者大人更感兴趣我的观众来自异次元。同时我也在担心国内局势,如果我再不露面,有些人可能就该坐不住了。”„Ha, the circle of aristocrat......”Marqueshit, in the tonedoes not concealto despiseandbe sick.
“哈,贵族的圈子……”玛古斯打了个哈哈,语气中毫不掩饰鄙夷与厌烦。Hao Renlooked at the surroundingperson, feltoneselfseeminglyhave not participated in the necessity of currenttopic, thereforecontinuesto lower the headeats mealearnestly.郝仁看了看周围的人,感觉自己貌似并没有参与当前话题的必要,于是继续低头认真吃饭。
After the receptionfeastended, Hao Renandotherknightsgo to the roomto restrespectively, VeronicaandMorianremained.
接风宴结束之后,郝仁和其它骑士们各自回房间休息,维罗妮卡和莫里安却留了下来。Twopeoplemount the forthighsteeplewithGeneralMarquestogether, theyare upwardalong the turret steps, finallyarrived in the platform of westernboundaryfortresshighest place, the tower of torchwas toweringontheirbehindbaseshigh, emittedten thousandzhang (3.33 m)ray, making the entirefortcoverduring the asylum.
二人与玛古斯将军一起登上要塞高高的尖塔,他们沿着螺旋梯一路向上,最终抵达了西境堡垒最高处的平台,薪火之塔就在他们身后的基座上高高耸立着,放出万丈光芒,令整个要塞笼罩在庇护之中。Butlookstoall around, the shadowjungleoccupieslikemuddydark cloudscloudyon the land of West, the distant placewas coveredcompletelydark, by the fortmountain rangealsoextendsinrayamong the roadsupwardly, andfinallyshadowcloud layercamouflagebyupper air, only theneast the fort, cansee the length and breadth, andnotpollutedmountainshill, the path that sends out the glimmeris extendingin the wooded mountains, to lead tokingdom.
而向四周望去,暗影丛林就像一片浑浊的黑云阴沉沉地盘踞在西方的土地上,更远处则完全被黑暗笼罩,要塞两侧的山脉也在光芒中一路向上延伸,并最终被高空的暗影云层遮蔽,只有在要塞东侧,才可以看到广袤且未被污染的山川丘陵,一条发出微光的道路在山林间延伸着,一路通向王国境内。Places oneselfthisplace, ifonlylooksto the West, unavoidablyonetypebysea of surroundingdarkness, was fallen into the feeling of isolated island.
置身此地,如果仅向西方看去,难免给人一种被黑暗之海包围,身陷孤岛的感觉。Thisis the bridgehead of orderworld, the place of brightedge.
这就是秩序世界的桥头堡,光明的边缘之地。
The ancientprotector ’...... ” Marqueslooks at the bigforest of distant place„aboutthat ‚, as ifopens the mouthat will, „ does princess, youtrusthim?”
“关于那个‘古代守护者’……”玛古斯看着远方的大森林,仿佛随意开口,“公主殿下,您信任他么?”„Herescuedeveryone'slife, includingmy.”Veronicalightsay/way.
“他救了所有人的命,包括我的。”维罗妮卡淡淡道。Marqueslistens tobeyond the words the sound: „It seems likeyou were not so also definitetohisorigin.”
玛古斯听出话外之音:“看来您也对他的来历不那么确定了。”Veronicahas not spoken.维罗妮卡没有吭声。From the beginningHao Renrecognizedfor the ancientprotectortrulyisthisprincess, butthisdoes not mean that shedoes not have the follow-upponder, inso manydaysponders and observations, noticeswrongcognition of Hao Renparticularlyafterthisworldmanygeneral knowledgeare even ignorant, doubts in herheartalsostartgraduallyto increase.
一开始将郝仁认定为古代守护者的确实就是这位公主殿下,但这并不意味着她就没有后续的思考,在这么多天的思考与观察,尤其是注意到郝仁对这个世界很多常识的错误认知甚至无知之后,她心中的疑惑也就开始逐渐增大了。
The memoryconfusionevery so oftenis not the multipurposeexcuses.
记忆混乱很多时候并不是万能借口。Marqueswaited for severalseconds, discovered that does not have the responsethento continue saying: „Youshouldalsothink, in the wildernesspossiblyhas the recluse who last centuryfortunately survived, butis unlikelyto have the thingchaos100years of generationto shuffleonetime, besidesspecificseveraltearingpoints, in the worldhardlyhadfor successive 1000 yearsunmanneddiscoveryancientvestige.”
玛古斯等了几秒钟,发现没有回应便继续说道:“您应该也想到了,荒野之中可能有上个世纪幸存下来的隐士,但不大可能有上个世代的东西混沌一百年洗牌一次,除了特定的几个撕裂点之外,世界上几乎不存在连续1000年都无人发现的古代遗迹。”Veronicalooked atseniorgeneraloneeyes: „KasuanHoly Mountainin a tearingpoint, no matter100years ago, 300years ago, before was1000, itwas being coveredby the chaosthroughout, Iknow that thiswas very inconceivable, buttherereallyhad a temple.”维罗妮卡看了老将军一眼:“卡苏安圣山就是在一处撕裂点里,不管是一百年前,三百年前,还是一千年前,它都始终被混沌笼罩着,我知道这很不可思议,但那里真的有一座圣殿。”Marques'seyesopened.
玛古斯的眼睛睁大了。„Hisorigintrulybecomes the fan,”Sir Morianopens the mouthat this momentfinally, „, buthedefinitelyis not the chaosretinue, is not the evilbeliever, heis carryingmanyextremepowerfulSaintalong, the strengths of theseSaintare far fromthistimeall, perhaps was really the antiquityrelic.”
“他的来历确实成迷,”莫里安爵士此刻才终于开口,“但他肯定不是混沌的仆从,也不是邪教徒,他随身携带着许多极端强大的圣器,那些圣器的力量远非这个时代所有,恐怕真的是上古遗物。”„No matter howsaid,the most important thing ishestandsus,”Veronicasighed, „Iknow that youpossiblythinkmyideawas naive, butIwas the processthink, Itrustedhim, andbelieves that hewas the protector in sacred place, no matterhewhetherreallyfromantiquity.”( To be continued.)
“不管怎么说,最重要的是他站在我们这边,”维罗妮卡叹了口气,“我知道您可能会认为我的想法天真,但我是经过深思熟虑的,我信任他,并相信他是圣地的守护者,不管他是否真的来自上古。”(未完待续。)
