队伍在人群的夹道簇拥下返回王城,而薇薇安和莉莉走在最前面,她们俨然成了**民眼中的神明或者至少是类似的然存在。看到在这个被迷信和无知统治的“世界”里,要用宗教控制人心简直太容易了,只需要一点点恐吓和自然现象就足矣,薇薇安很熟悉这些。

“你要是经历过神话时代就会习惯了,”薇薇安带着笑意低声说道,“越古老的年代人们就越是对万物有敬畏之心,七千年前我只要随便制造点小火苗就能震慑住一整个部落,这个地方在我看来跟那时候的地球也没多大分别。”Thislaterprocessalmostcanwithonegroupdescribechaotic, althoughisHao Renpromotes the mattertothison own initiative, that butthesenativesexcitementreactin the dualinspirations of superstitious ideaandundermakespeopleverydifficultto adapt.

Onlywhatherejoicesis„icesorceress”has the absoluteimpressive and dignified mannerintheseperson of hearts, the story that even ifhecompilestemporarilyhasagain the multi-loopholes, does not needto be worried that was questionedat the scene.
这之后的经过几乎可以用一团混乱来形容虽然是郝仁这边主动把事情推展到这一步的,但这些当地人在迷信思想和激动心情的双重鼓舞下做出的反应还是让人挺难适应。郝仁见到了高塔王国的国王一个皮肤黝黑、又高又壮的中年男人,然后又见到了其他三个王国的学士团,他还不得不领着老人去挨个跟王城里的王公贵族打招呼,并和薇薇安一块绞尽脑汁地临时编造了一个粗糙的神话故事来搪塞学士与国王的大堆问题。他唯一庆幸的是“冰女巫”在这些人心中有着绝对的威仪,所以即便他临时编造出来的故事有再多漏洞,也不用担心被当场质疑。Whenall thesesettle downfinallyslightly, quite a while the timehas almost passed by. Under Hao Rentheyenjoy the tranquility that thismustcomewith great difficultyon the bigcastleflat roof, Vivianlook down the bustlingkingcitystreet: „Lookscompared withwejustcame the time must live it up for severalpoints...... really unable to believe,insuchsmall citycanforce one's way inunexpectedlyso manypeople.”
当这一切终于稍微尘埃落定的时候,已经差不多半天时间过去了。郝仁他们在大城堡上层的露台上享受这好不容易得来的平静,薇薇安则低头看着下面人潮拥挤的王城街道:“看上去比咱们刚来的时候还要热闹几分……真不敢相信,这么个小城里竟然能挤进去这么多人。”Hao Rensmiles, turns the headto lookto the flat roof. Eats up the gold/metalappleto have a new lease of life the old personto sitbehind an irontable, the frontis puttinghisobsoletedraft manuscripts, the old personlike the nursingtreasureproximallywiththesedraft manuscriptsin the same place, even the presentis the relaxation time. Heis also keepinginspecting the situations of thesepaper: Thesethings have a history of several hundred years, hefor fear thathas the part that the decencyrots.郝仁笑了笑,转头看向露台另一侧。吃下金苹果而重获新生的老人正坐在一张铁桌后面,面前放着他那些陈旧的手稿,老人像看护宝物一样寸步不离地跟这些手稿在一起,即便现在是休息时间。他也在不停地检查那些纸张的情况:这些东西已经有好几百年历史了,他生怕其中有风化腐坏的部分。„Howthencan?”Hao Renwalksto askat will, before the situationwas chaotic, hedid not havetooto watchold person'ssituation. Onlyknows that Nangong Wuyueled the opposite partyto seemanyscholars in city, moreoverhad a lengthy conversationwith the kingaloneonetime.
“接下来会怎样？”郝仁随意走过去问道,之前情况混乱,他没太关注老人的情况。只知道南宫五月带着对方去见了城里的很多学者,而且还单独和国王长谈了一次。„Looked that their kingin the face of icesorceressis very politetome, buthehas been inquiringIprepareto makeanythinginhiskingdom, it seems like it was worriedownroyal power......,”old personcorners of the mouthshookslightly. „Thisis not meaningfulto me, so long asIcangivethem the correcthistory. Ialsosawtheseare called‚bachelor’person, majority is very ignorant, buteachis intelligentenough, moreoverthesebachelorsare obviously better than the kingtomyattitude, Ifeltcanfirstgo tothatnamed‚groupstarfort’perhaps the place, thesedraft manuscriptscanfirstgivethem.”
“看在冰女巫的面子上他们的国王对我很客气,但他一直在询问我准备在他的王国做些什么,看来是在担心自己的王权……嗬,”老人嘴角微微抖了一下。“不过这对我而言没什么意义,我只要能把正确的历史交给他们就可以。我还见到了那些被称作‘学士’的人,大部分都很无知,但每一个都足够聪明,而且那些学士对我的态度明显比国王更好,我觉得可以先去那个叫‘群星堡’的地方,或许这些手稿可以先交给他们。”
The old personreferred to the paperpile on table: „Whenknewtheytotranscribe the ancient bookaspracticing, Iknow that thesebachelorsare the keys.”
老人指了指桌子上的纸堆:“当得知他们以抄写古书作为修行的时候,我就知道那些学士才是关键。”„Soundsnotlike the imaginationis so smooth,”Lilyholds the armto mumble, „Ialsothink that blackbigkingsaw after you, bows the head in greeting, since the kingthisresponse of hightowerkingdom. Wherethatotheroutlyingkingdomsshouldalsoverytogo.”
“听起来并不像想象的那么顺利嘛,”莉莉抱着胳膊嘟囔,“我还以为那个黑大个国王见到你之后纳头便拜呢既然高塔王国的国王都这个反应。那其他边远王国应该也好不到哪去。”„Is enough,”old persondoes not caremuddilyis smiling, „Ionlyneedto obtaininfourkingdomswalkedandtaught that freely the power of people, thesekingsare willingto listen tomyrigid theorizing are unexpected happiness....... Ihave no interest in changeas forherepresentform of society, is incapable ofchanging. Theyhad lived for several hundredyears, the bestwayisto letthemcontinuesto live, untilnaturalchange.”
“已经足够了,”老人浑不在意地笑着,“我只需要得到在四王国自由行走、教导民众的权力就可以,那些国王肯听我的说教便已经是个意外之喜了。至于这里现在的社会形态……我无心改变,也无力改变。他们已经这么生活了数百年,最好的办法就是让他们继续这么生活下去,直到自然变迁。”Lilystares: „Butyouaretheirancestors!”莉莉一瞪眼:“可你是他们的老祖宗！”„Iam only an old man who runsfrom the reactor, but the inherent responsibilities of kingare the authority of questionexcludingthem, even ifthisauthorityis a god,”old personcaught the eyeto look atVivian of Lilyandnot far away, „Iwas even inferior that you twohad the right to speak. Becauseyouat leasthavenaturalstrength.”
“我只是一个从反应炉里跑出来的老头而国王的天职就是质疑除他们之外的权威,哪怕这个权威是神,”老人抬眼看了看莉莉和不远处的薇薇安,“我甚至不如你们两个有话语权。因为你们至少有实打实的自然力量。”Vivianhearswordhas turned the head, on the facehas the lightsmile: „Very normal, if an authoritycantame an entirecivilization, thatworldallconflicts have long evaporated. Yourfollowingwork will not be probably smooththesekingsto be willingto listen toyourrigid theorizingnow. But ifyourpropagandaseriouslyaffectedtheirauthorities and kingdoms, peoplewill still rally togetherto attack. ButIbelieve the realhistory that yougraspdefinitelyhas very bigconflictwith the threeviews of presentpeople.”薇薇安闻言转过头,脸上带着淡淡的笑容:“很正常,如果一个权威就能驯服一整个文明,那世间一切争端早就烟消云散了。你接下来的工作大概不会很顺利那些国王现在愿意听你的说教。但如果你的宣教严重影响了他们的权威和王国,人们仍然会群起而攻的。而我相信你所掌握的真实历史肯定跟现在人们的三观有很大冲突。”
The old personis smilingfree and easy: „Iknow,beforeresting, Ihad discussedwith the pastfriendsissue that the innumerabletypes could facein the future, Iam the sociologist, the educationist. The psychologist, I know howshouldtellpeoplein the appropriatesocialstage the just rightknowledge.”
老人洒脱地笑着:“我知道,早在睡过去之前,我就和当年的朋友们讨论过无数种未来可能要面对的问题,我是社会学家,教育学家。还是心理学家,我知道该怎么在恰当的社会阶段告诉人们恰到好处的知识。”Looks at the old personwhole faceself-confidentsmile, Hao Rengraspedscratching the head: „Perhapsyoualsosuitcompared withmework as the godstick.”
看着老人满脸自信的微笑,郝仁抓了抓头:“或许你比我还适合当个神棍。”
The old personis onlysilentsmiles, later the lookis earnest: „Who can that...... the presenttellme you are?”
老人只是无声地笑了笑,随后眼神认真起来:“那……现在能告诉我你们到底是什么人吗？”Whenhejustregained consciousnessfrom the dormancycabin, at presentthisgroup of peopletellhim, theyonegroup of travelers who passed byfrom the universe, theirspaceshipsstopoutside the ark, at that time the old personhas not thought that butregards assometechnicaldegreeto be higheralienHao Renoneline, butaftereating a mysteriousfruitretrievalyouth, the question in old personheartmayenlargedoubled and re-doubled: Althoughinhisworld outlook the truemagichas not existed, butherealizedindistinctlyat presentthisgroup of peopleare concernedwithsometype of naturalthing. AfterwardhesawViviancansummon, Lily to change a flamesharp bladewith a hand signalfrostbaseless, thisall sorts ofmysticalare the science and technology, poured more like the magics in farancient timesthesestories, thereforehenowtoHao Renoneline of originsisextremelycurious.
在他刚刚从休眠舱中苏醒的时候,眼前这群人告诉他,他们是从宇宙中路过的一群过客,他们的飞船就停在方舟外面,当时老人并未多想,只是将郝仁一行视作某种科技程度更高一些的外星人,但在吃了一片神奇的水果重获青春之后,老人心中的疑问可就成倍放大了:虽然他的世界观里并没有真正的魔法存在,但他还是隐隐约约意识到眼前这群人跟某种自然的东西有关。后来他又看到了薇薇安用一个手势就能召唤冰霜、莉莉凭空就能变出一把火焰利刃,这种种神异与其说是科技,倒更像是远古时候那些故事里的魔法,所以他现在对郝仁一行的来历是万分好奇。Hao Rensits downopposite of the old person, tellsownoriginwith at a moderate pacetone.郝仁在老人对面坐下,用不紧不慢的口气把自己的来历娓娓道来。Naturally, the secret part has broughtfor example„besidestrong presenceswithvarious”comesto explainhisbackstageambiguously.
当然,机密部分是一笔带过的比如用“诸界之外的强大势力”来含混地解释他的后台。
The old personcalmlylistens, the lookhas the changeoccasionally, butwantsto be tranquiler than the estimate. Hao Renis somewhat surprised: „Aren't youprobably surprised?”
老人静静地听完,眼神偶有变化,但比预想中要平静很多。郝仁有些意外:“你好像并不惊讶？”„Ifeltvery muchdifficultlyagainsurprisedly,”old personshook the headslowly, „Iwas bornto grow upon the ark, had been to the universewiththisshipmanyplaces, Ioncesaw that the starfell into the attractioncreviceto be ripped the fragment, oncesaw the afterglow that the novahas explodedto steamentireplanetinstantaneously, butthesecame from the greatlifeform of crowd of stardeep placesto leave behind the viewaboutgodslong before, weknow that thisuniverselength and breadth, mighty force of somecountlessdistant personclassimaginationis operating. ThereforeIam not surprised, even ifTrue Godwill arrivein the frontwill not be surprised. Naturally, accidental/surprisedsomeIhave not thoughttheirenvoyarrivalscanbethisappearance, Ialsothinkyou should......”
“我很难再感觉惊讶了,”老人慢慢摇头,“我在方舟上出生长大,跟着这艘船到过宇宙的很多地方,我曾见到恒星落入引力裂隙中被撕成碎片,也曾见过新星爆的余晖在瞬间蒸掉一整个星球,而那些来自群星深处的伟大生物很早以前就留下过关于神明的说法,我们知道这个宇宙广袤,有无数远人类想象的伟力在其中运行着。所以我并不惊讶,哪怕真神降临在面前也不会惊讶。当然,意外还是有的我没想到祂们的使者到来的时候会是这幅模样,我还以为你们应该更……”
The old personput out a handto gesticulate, was very difficultto describeownidea: „In briefshould, at leastneedmagnificentlylike the greatraces in thesecrowd of star.”
老人伸出手比划了一下,却很难描述自己的想法:“总之应该更光辉灿烂一点,至少要像那些群星中的伟大种族一样。”„Isometimesalsowithquite‚forever glorious’ the waysolves the problem, butthatis not the goodmatter,”Hao Renshaking the headstands, „Imustleave, a lotmustbe done.”
“我有时候也会用比较‘光芒万丈’的方式解决问题,但那可不是什么好事儿,”郝仁摇着头站起来,“我得离开了,还有很多事情要做。”Old personfollowingstandssubconsciously: „Will youalso come back?”
老人下意识地跟着站起来:“你们还会回来么？”„Naturallymustcome back,”Hao Rensmiled, hands overconvenientlycommunication, „your civilizedfollow-up workshave not completed. Youthought how longyouroldspaceships can also operate? 100years? 200years?

Thisiscommunication, nowyouare your racewordpeople, wemustmaintain the contact, moreoverIestimated that Iwill contactquicklyyour.”
“当然要回来,”郝仁笑了起来,顺手将一个通讯器递过去,“你们这个文明的后续工作还没做完呢。你觉得你们的老飞船还能运行多久？一百年？两百年？我得在这东西彻底停摆之前给你们找个安稳的落脚点,我还要随时报告你们的重建进程,因为我的女神很关心这些,而且我还要长期跟踪你们的状态,因为灭世天灾的余波还在这个宇宙蔓延,我可不想好不容易找到几个生还者结果扭脸就又被触手给吃了。这是通讯器,现在你就是你们这个种族的言人,咱们要保持联络,而且我估计我很快就会联络你的。”
The old personreceivedcommunication, after asking the clearusage, took in the bosomcarefully.
老人接过通讯器,问明白用法之后仔细地收进怀里。„Wordssaid that youdid rememberoneselfname?”Hao Renspoke thoughtlesslyto ask, „from now oncannotcallyourold man.”
“话说你想起自己名字了没？”郝仁随口问道,“今后总不能一直叫你老头吧。”
The old personopens mouth, long timemuttered: „Ionlyremember that I the code nameinentireplanam‚father’......”
老人张了张嘴,半晌才咕哝道:“我只记得我在整个计划中的代号是‘父亲’……”Hao Renstaresimmediately: „Wedo not playthisjoke, the age of several of us......”郝仁顿时一瞪眼:“咱别开这玩笑啊,我们几个的年龄……”Hewas sayingstops, looked atVivianonesecretly: „The average ages of several of usare olderseveralyouto knowthanyou! Several of usadd longer than yourarkhistory!”
他说着停顿一下,偷偷看了薇薇安一眼:“我们几个的平均年龄比你大好几圈你知道么！我们几个加起来比你们的方舟历史还久！”Vivianlow voicewhisper: „Gatheredmeto flare outto divide equallytoyou......”薇薇安小声嘀咕:“合着我给你们拉平均分来了……”
After the old personhears the Hao Renwords, has profound respect, laterthinks: „YoucalledmeLorens.”
老人听到郝仁的话之后则是肃然起敬,随后想了想:“那你们就叫我罗伦斯吧。”„Is thisyourname?”
“这是你的名字？”„No, Itothisnameindistinctlya littleimpression, perhapsammysomefriend, possiblyismy father,”old personis smilingfree and easy, „anyone, could not have usedthisnamefrom now on, IwasLorens.”
“不,我只是对这个名字隐约有点印象,或许是我某个朋友的,也可能是我父亲的,”老人洒脱地笑着,“无论是谁,都已经用不上这个名字了从今往后,我就是罗伦斯了。”
