一道明亮的电火光从中枢控制站的外壳上窜起,并沿着那仿佛山脉一样的巨大管道迅速向外蔓延,看上去如同夜空中骤然撕裂的光之裂隙。这道闪光距离此地遥远,因此刚开始除了郝仁这边目力超群的几人之外并没有其他人注意到,但很快骚乱便传播开了:电火光消退之后,从中枢控制站深处冒出了滚滚浓烟,而更大面积的闪光则不断在控制站周围的几座建筑物周边亮起,即便普通人都可以看到远方发生的事情。
The residents in anti-shipincity, thatseems the end of the worldto be the samein the violentcombustion.
对舰内城市的居民而言,那就好像世界尽头在猛烈燃烧一般可怕。Calls out in alarmtransmitswith some turret of shoutfromcity wall, then the infectiontriggered the tumult of entirefireplacecity, inside and outside the castleresidentsto rush to the outdoorsgenerallyin abundance, looks that the flash and thick smoke of distant placewere panic, childfrightenedcrying aloud, the adultalsoknelt downto prayin abundance the stability of thisworld, butalong withtheseunrests, the outage of alsoarriving.
惊叫与呼喊声从城墙上的某座塔楼传来,紧接着便传染一般引发了整个壁炉城的骚动,城堡内外的居民们纷纷跑到户外,看着远处的闪光和浓烟惊慌失措,小孩子被吓的哇哇大哭,成年人也纷纷跪倒下来祈祷着这个世界的安定,而伴随着这些骚乱的,是随之降临的大停电。Sees only the metropolisas ifto be sprinkled the inkto be the sameby the ship that in the lightilluminates, large expanse oflarge expanse ofgoes blackfrom the centercontrol stationoutward, has the brightelectricitysnakeinfalling into the jet blacklandunceasinglyjumps, eachjumpcanbring the wide scope the electric powerbreakdown. „Thump thump” the low and deepdull thumping soundhiddenfromthesein the ancientequipment of citydeep placetransmits, in the face of the electric surge, the obsoleterelay and protectorstarts the large expanse ofoverburning.

只见原本被灯光照亮的舰内都市就仿佛被泼上墨水一般,从中枢控制站向外成片成片地陷入黑暗,不断有明亮的电蛇在陷入漆黑的大地上跳跃,每一次跳跃都会带来更大范围的电力故障。“咚咚”的低沉闷响从那些隐藏在城市深处的古老设备里传来,在电涌面前,老旧的继电器和保险装置开始成片烧毁。很快停电便蔓延到了壁炉城,郝仁看到外面的广场一下子变得漆黑,城里的居民们开始被莫大的恐惧笼罩。
An extremepanic-strickensoundis callingin the darknessloudly: „The worldextinguished! The worldextinguished! The worldextinguished!”
一个极端惊恐的声音在黑暗中大声呼叫着:“世界熄灭了！世界熄灭了！世界熄灭了！”
The eye of Lilysends outgolden lightslightlyin a darkness, shejuststartedalsoto have a scare, butrespondedquickly: „Reactorcollapsed!”莉莉的眼睛在一片黑暗中发出微微的金光,她刚开始也被吓了一跳,但很快反应过来:“反应炉崩了！”Hao RenentrainsVivianandLilywithout delayrunsoutward, the Nangongbrother and sisterfollow, quickeveryonewent to outsidesquare.

Hasto initiateunrestagain, killswithout the amnesty!”
这时候壁炉城堡垒(旧工厂)的上层突然出现了几道灯光,这些灯光终于让人群稍微安静下来。几个穿戴甲胄的贵族骑士出现在城堡顶上,他们胸前挂着明亮的矿灯,不断用光柱扫向下面的人群,威利的父亲。也就是那位严肃的城堡总督站在最高的地方,中气十足地叫道:“安静！禁止乱跑！等待灯光重新亮起！再有引发骚乱者,杀无赦！”Alsodoes not know that was the light of knightschestbrought the courage, the peopledreaded the pressure of governor, the order in fireplacecityforcedto be maintainedfinally, butstillhad the low voicesob and praysoundtransmitsunceasinglyfromvariouscrowdplaces, butoutside the fireplacecity, canhear the chaoticsound that the distant placebroadcastto seem like the governors in othercity-statesindistinctly unable to control the scenelikehererapidly. In a darkness, the eye of LilyandVivianis especially easy-to-use. Theysoonfoundare not havingWillie who a flysameruns offin the crowd, thereforehurriedto callthisyoung peoplein a low voice.
也不知道是骑士们胸口的灯光给人带来了勇气,还是人民们畏惧总督的威压,壁炉城中的秩序终于勉强被维持住了,但仍然不断有小声的哭泣和祈祷声从人群各处传来,而在壁炉城外,隐隐约约可以听到远方传来的混乱声音似乎其他城邦的总督们并不像这里的一样能迅速控制现场。在一片黑暗中,莉莉和薇薇安的眼睛格外好使。她们很快找到了正在人群里没头苍蝇一样乱钻的威利,于是赶紧低声把这个年轻人叫了过来。Williearrives in front ofHao Rentotteringly, hisfirstthensawpanic-strickenlyLilythatsparkles the shiningeye. Almostyelledmakes noise, buthealsorecordsat presentthisluckilyis beingseveral„understoodwitchcraft” the fearfulfellow. Thereforeforcefullycalling out in alarmto swallow, thenaskedlow voice: „How? Reallyisyourwitchcraft?”
威利跌跌撞撞地来到郝仁面前,他第一眼便惊骇地看到了莉莉那闪闪发亮的眼睛。差点大叫出声,但幸亏他还记着眼前这是几个“懂得巫术”的可怕家伙。于是硬生生把惊呼咽了下去,转而小声问道:“到底怎么了？难道真的是你们的巫术？”„Wemayanythingnot do,”Hao Renbeckons with the hand, „evidentlyisthisworld‚heart’finallywas unable to withstand the load. Iam also thinkingfirstfinds outyoursocial relations, nowlooks that firstrepairs in a rush the machine is quite appropriate......”
“我们可什么都没做,”郝仁摆摆手,“看样子是这个世界的‘心脏’终于不堪重负了。啧,我还想着先摸清你们的社会关系呢,现在看着还是先抢修机器比较合适么……”Willie: „?”
威利:“？”Inthis time, low and deepbuzz the whining noisetransmitssuddenlyfrom far to near, the undergrounddeep placeas ifalsohad anything start. Afterwardin the ship in darkness the metropolisreappeared the light, electric lampsshonelike the star light. Scatters the darkness.
正在这时候,一阵低沉的嗡鸣声突然从远而近地传来,地下深处似乎又有什么东西启动了。随后黑暗中的舰内都市重新出现了光明,一盏盏电灯如星光般亮起。驱散黑暗。HoweverHao Rennoticesnotallilluminationsto restore, comparedwithbefore. The light on streetbe onlyapproximatelyhalfshine, before theselight bulbs that even iflightenstillno longer, is bright. The lighting that thesehave not lightenedhadpartpossiblyto burn outin the power cut, but the remainingreasons...... mostlywerebecausethisspaceshiphas cutfor the spareelectric powerpower supplynow.
然而郝仁注意到并不是所有照明都已经恢复,和之前比起来。街道上的灯光只有大约一半亮起,而且即便点亮的那些灯泡也不复之前那么明亮。那些未曾点亮的照明设施有一部分可能是在刚才的停电中被烧坏了,而剩下的原因……多半是因为这艘飞船现在已经切换为备用电力供电。
The average peoplecannot think ofthese, theyare jumping for joyfor the light of regaining, peoplecheerin abundanceloudly, praisedthisworldagainlightenedmiracle, Hao Renonelineinsteadbecamemost specialseveralin the crowd of cheering: Theyappearanyoneare calmer.
普通人想不到这些,他们只是在为失而复得的光明雀跃不已,人们纷纷高声欢呼起来,赞美这个世界被重新点亮的神迹,郝仁一行在欢呼的人群中反而成了最特殊的几个:他们显得比谁都淡定。„Finished?”Willielooks at the surroundingsituationpuzzled, hesomewhatcould not have responded.
“都结束了？”威利困惑地看着周围的情况,他还有些反应不过来。„No, perhapsjuststarted.”Hao Renshakes the head, looksto the centercontrol station in distant place, hedecided that puts one side allidlemixedissues, firstgoes to that sideto have a look at the situation.
“不,恐怕才刚刚开始。”郝仁摇了摇头,看向远方的中枢控制站,他决定把一切闲杂问题都放到一边,先去那边看看情况。Howeveratthis time, a youngsoldierruns overfrom the castledirection, herunsdirectlytoVilly: „Willie, the governorlooks foryou.”
不过就在这时候,一个年轻士兵从城堡方向跑了过来,他径直跑向威利:“威利,总督找你。”Afterwardthissoldiershifts toHao Ren: „How manyvagrantknights are youthat? The governoralsoinvitedyou.”
随后这名士兵又转向郝仁:“你们就是那几位流浪骑士吧？总督也邀请了你们。”„We?”Hao Renstares, „does?”
“我们？”郝仁一愣,“干嘛？”
The youngsoldiershakes the head: „Iam orderedto handle affairs, the practical thinggovernorwill tellyou.”
年轻士兵摇摇头:“我只是奉命行事,具体事情总督会告诉你们。”Hao Renlooked at a distantthatalmostalready„ancestorHongfurnace who”is completely dim, consideringthisis a supergiantseeking asylumark, in this emergency power supplyshouldalsobe ableto supporta long time, thereforehenods, complied withthatgovernor'sinvitation.郝仁看了一眼远方那几乎已经完全黯淡下来的“先祖洪炉”,考虑到这是一艘超级巨大的避难方舟,这里面的备用电源应该还能支撑很长一段时间,所以他点点头,答应了那位总督的邀请。
The groupandWilliewere broughtin the castletogether, andcomes to castlethreelarge-scaleconference rooms, thatveryseriouscastlegovernorhas waitedhere, hissidesits several other people, Hao Renalsoknew,isscholar.
一行人和威利一同被带到了城堡里面,并来到城堡三层的一个大型会议室中,那位很严肃的城堡总督已经在此等候,他身边则坐着其他几人,其中一个郝仁还认识,正是奥罗学士。
The beforehandoutageas ifalsoaffectedin the castle, the light of conference roomseemssomewhatdim, only thentwohanging lampsare sending out the ray. The castlegovernornoticed that Willieand the otherspushed the doorto come in the laterexpressionice-coldto nod, laterknocks the table: „ThenIdirectlyenter the subject. kingcitysent in the pass on messagea moment ago, ancestorHongfurnacehad the unreadablechange, had the fire and lightblasts openfrom the chamber, therefore the kingcallsallhigh rankscholarsto go tokingcityto discuss official businessimmediately.

之前的大停电似乎也波及了城堡里面,会议室的灯光显得有些昏暗,而且只有两盏吊灯在发出光芒。城堡总督看到威利等人推门进来之后表情冰冷地点了点头,随后敲敲桌子:“那么我直接进入正题。刚才王城发来传讯,先祖洪炉发生了难以理解的变化,有火和光从炉膛里炸裂出来,因此国王召集所有高阶学者立刻前往王城议事。另外介于刚才发生的异象,四王国已经达成临时停战协定,因此其他三个王国的学士也会前往我们的王城议事。奥罗学士是壁炉城的代表,我决定派我的儿子带领一小队战士执行护送任务。”Hears the words of castlegovernor, somepeoplesomewhatdiscusses spiritedly, everyoneknowssonWillie who governoris a weaksoldierheis afraid the fight, the sword techniquein a complete mess, saw the bloodescapesimmediately, makes the spear/guncompared with the fly cutter, thisyoung peoplelike the neststudyinganddrawingin the room, thereforetheyhearWillie to be responsible forescortingXueshiqianare the feeling are very strangetoward the kingsimmediately. Willieequallyis also surprised, hisnieopening mouth of: „But...... butfather......”
听到城堡总督的话,现场的一些人有些议论纷纷,人人都知道总督的儿子威利是个软弱的士兵他害怕战斗,剑术一塌糊涂,见到血就会立刻逃跑,比起舞刀弄枪,这个年轻人更喜欢窝在房间里读书和画画,所以他们听到威利要负责护送学士前往王都立刻就是感觉很古怪。威利自己也同样惊讶,他嗫喏着张了张嘴:“可……可是父亲……”„Willie,”castlegovernorsets outsuddenly, is pressing the tablewith the hand, „, ifyou have thata wee bitaristocratglory, at this timemustsay‚is, senior official’!”
“威利,”城堡总督霍然起身,用手按着桌子,“如果你还有那么一丁点的贵族荣耀,这时候要说‘是,长官’！”Willieshrinks the neck, rouses the couragefinally: „Yes, Senior official.”
威利一缩脖子,总算鼓勇气:“是,长官。”
The castlegovernornods: „Verygood, thisisyourecovers the reputation/honoraryfor the last time the opportunity.”
城堡总督点点头:“很好,这是你最后一次挽回名誉的机会。”Otherpersonas ifalsosomeopinions, but a governorlookin the past, allquestionsthenvanished into thin air. Hao Renseizes the opportunityto askfinally: „Thatwhat, did youcallusto cometo do?”
其他人似乎还有些意见,但总督一个眼神过去,所有质疑便都烟消云散。郝仁则终于抓住机会问道:“那什么,你叫我们来是干嘛？”„Severalguests,” the expression on castlegovernorfacesoftened, hesaidby the appropriateformality,„was sorryvery muchmustset the requesttoyou, butIhope the escortingteam that youcanjoinWillie, helpingusdeliver the bachelortokingcitysafely.”
“几位客人,”城堡总督脸上的表情软化了一些,他以恰当的礼节说道,“很抱歉要对你们提出要求,但我希望你们能加入威利的护送队伍,帮助我们把学士安全送至王城。”Hao RenfullNaoziis thinkingmustgo toancestorHongfurnaceto find out, moreoverhowis suffering should lose the guards who in the ancient times the knowledge, turned into the ignorantboorish fellowto exchangewiththese, at this timewas all of a sudden delighted, hurriesto nod: „Naturallyok, weare preparingto go to that side...... the volume, words saying that Ishouldaskwhyyoudo selectus?”郝仁这边正满脑子想着要去先祖洪炉一探究竟呢,而且正苦于该怎么跟那些已经失去古代知识、变成无知莽夫的守卫们交流,这时候一下子喜出望外,赶紧点头:“当然行啊,我们正准备去那边呢……额,话说我是不是该问一下你为啥选中我们？”„Youhave helpedmy sononetime, Ibelieve that youaretrustworthy,”castlegovernorlooksverysincere, „. Moreover the knights in fireplacecitymustguard against the ironcity-state'suncivilized nationalitiesnot to attend to the trucecomingto sneak attack, weare every limited, is unable to organizeenoughmanypeopleto golong-distanceto escort the bachelor.”
“你们已经帮助过我儿子一次,我相信你们是值得信赖的,”城堡总督看上去很诚恳,“而且壁炉城的骑士要防备铁城邦的蛮族们不顾停战前来偷袭,我们人手有限,无法组织够多的人去长途护送学士。”Hao Rennods, hedid not mind that thiscastlegovernorin factsomeanythingplanned: „Oh, thatline, werunthis.”郝仁点点头,他并不介意这位城堡总督实际上有些什么打算:“哦,那行,我们就跑这一趟。”„Thankedvery much, youwill obtain the appropriaterewardaftercoming back,”governoras ifsmiled, heturned toscholar, „bachelor, beforeyouleft, pleaseexplainwitheveryone the presentsituation.”( To be continued.)
“很感谢,你们在回来之后将得到恰当的酬劳,”总督似乎微笑了一下,他转向奥罗学士,“学士,在你离开之前,请把现在的情况跟大家说明。”(未完待续。)
