A hind leg of Boubo has started unable to bear tremble, just now hears to go back to eat meal, its whole face was happy where has compared with eating meal is worth the happy matter, but now, the facial expression on its angry face gradually enforces. 布布汪的一条后腿已经开始忍不住打颤,方才听闻要回去吃饭,它满脸高兴,哪有比吃饭更值得高兴的事,可现在,它狗脸上的神情逐渐严肃。 Seeing Boubo wants to slide, Su Xiao grabs the Boubo nape meat, the group enter Space Ghost Gate, Boubo is ‚happy’ arrives treads the hind leg unceasingly. 见布布汪想溜,苏晓抓着布布的后颈肉,一行人走进空间鬼门,其中布布更是‘高兴’到不断蹬后腿。 The Healing Institute building, in the vice- Institution Head office, was regarded by the desk of table, puts in great inconvenience to Boubo anxiously to have the chicken leg food, it looks at the Shuzy small look, said on the difference: ‚This youngster is a disaster.’ 治疗院大楼,副院长办公室内,被当成餐桌的办公桌旁,委屈巴巴的布布汪吃着鸡腿饭,它看休司的小眼神,就差说出:‘这少年是个祸害。’ Uses the dinner, Su Xiao to sit cross-legged in the main roof, blows the night breeze to contemplate daily, Promotion mission and Main Mission, after wants and other Divine Memorial Day to start, is Official starts, in other words, anything does not do now, instead is the best plan. 用过晚餐,苏晓盘坐在主楼顶,吹着晚风日常冥想,晋升任务和主线任务,都要等神祭日开始后,才算是正式开始,也就是说,现在什么都不做,反而是上策。 Meanwhile, outside Tall Wall City, in calcareous rock mountain valley a dozens kilometers away. 与此同时,高墙城外,几十公里外的一处灰岩山谷内。 Here by various half decayed lumber, builds the disorderly triangle wooden accounts, since the scale looks, this is refugee tribe of place more than hundred population. 这里以各类半腐朽的木料,搭建出一个个杂乱的三角形木帐,从规模看,这是处百余人口的流民部落。 In the past, refugee tribe of more than hundred population is not very affable, after all, can survive on this piece of Wicked Lands, is in itself a extraordinary matter. 在以往,这种百余人口的流民部落已是很不好惹,毕竟,能在这片恶土上生存,本身就是件了不起的事。 But now, this refugee tribe nearly was embezzled by the flame, stump residual limb everywhere breaks the arm. 可现在,这个流民部落近乎被火焰吞没,遍地的残肢断臂。 Under shine of flame, wholes are the human form, the height about three meters, the whole body hair sparse form appear, their hair alienations, the fang disbursement of lower jaw, appearance rough, shows several points of not intelligent stereotype. 火光的映照下,一道道整体为人形,身高近三米,全身毛发稀疏的身影出现,它们的头发狂乱,下颚的獠牙支出,长相粗犷中,透出几分不聪明的呆板。 This is one of branches the crazy beast plants, the official name is Puner, after the translation, is man-eating Giant Monster and man-eating type and other meanings, the folk name has Wicked Lands Giant Demon, half beast, but more people call it Cannibal Demon or the man-eating demon, because this crazy beast plants anything to eat, regardless in the city the resident, is the Wicked Lands refugee, in their Food Hunter scopes. 这是狂兽种的分支之一,官方称呼是普纳基,翻译后为食人巨怪、食人种等意思,民间叫法有恶土巨魔、半兽等,不过更多人称其为食人怪或食人魔,因为这种狂兽种什么都吃,无论城内居民,还是恶土流民,都在它们的猎食范围内。 The grey valley internal heat light/only soars to the heavens, amounts to 30 Cannibal Demon to grab here, the midsummer is they stores up the grain the best time, by the autumn in the winter, on Wicked Lands basically did not have food to deliver, if possible, actually Cannibal Demon, is not willing to eat the refugee, the refugees are the monsters after distortion, eats them, has certain probability dead a violent death. 灰谷内火光冲天,总计有30名食人怪劫掠此处,盛夏是它们囤积粮食的最佳时候,到了秋冬天,恶土上基本就没有食物产出了,如果有可能,其实食人怪们,也不愿意吃流民,流民们是畸变后的怪物,吃他们,有一定的概率暴毙。 This group of Cannibal Demon leader named Broken Tooth, because of having a fang broke, therefore acquires fame, it about 4 meters height, and strong build, lets in this Cannibal Demon clan and tribe, without the same clan dares to revolt against it. 这伙食人怪的首领名叫断齿,因有一根獠牙断了,因此得名,它近四米的身高,以及强壮的体型,让这个食人怪部族内,没有同族敢反抗它。 An numerous Cannibal Demon front, the Broken Tooth vision looks all around, other Cannibal Demon lower the lower part of the body immediately, spoils of war centralism pile that will plunder before the Broken Tooth body. 一众食人怪前方,断齿的目光环顾,其他食人怪立即低下身,将抢掠到的战利品集中堆到断齿身前。 Sees this, on the big face of Broken Tooth reveals slightly has the savage smile, it looked that to one side squatting presses together dozens refugees, prepare to kill these enemies completely. 见此,断齿的大脸上露出略有凶残的笑容,它看向一旁蹲挤在一起的几十名流民,准备将这些敌人全部杀死。 „Kills, they.” “杀死,他们。” Broken Tooth by Cannibal Demon clan's and tribe's unique language opens the mouth, hears word, several Cannibal Demon that takes the weapon must begin, may at this time, a name light want the nimble and resourceful many Cannibal Demon opens the mouth. 断齿以食人怪部族独特的语言开口,闻言,几名拿着武器的食人怪就要动手,可在这时,一名目光要灵动很多的食人怪开口。 „Leader, we... should, leave behind them.” “首领,我们…应该,留下他们。” Cannibal Demon many of this speech is somewhat anxious, it named Boboluo. 这名说话的食人怪多少有些紧张,它名叫波波罗。 Hears the Boboluo words, the smile on Broken Tooth face gradually vanishes, it asked by the somewhat low and deep sound: „Why doesn't kill them?” 听到波波罗的话,断齿脸上的笑容逐渐消失,它以有些低沉的声音问道:“为什么不杀死他们？” „Is such leader, we......” “是这样的首领,我们……” Boboluo knees down, lowers the head to narrate own idea, looks like in it, like this grabs refugee tribe, is very unwise method, grabs each time kills off all refugees, the refugee in that this piece of hunting ground, will be getting fewer and fewer. 波波罗单膝跪地,低着头叙述自己的想法,在它看来,这样劫掠流民部落,是很不明智的方法,每次劫掠都杀光所有流民,那这片猎场内的流民,会越来越少。 With its this, that might as well only tribulations the Predation thing and precious each time, at the same time of not slaughtering here refugee, but must keep some food to them, making it develop, waits after a period of time, to grab again one time. 与其这样,那还不如每次只劫掠食物和珍贵品,不杀戮这里流民的同时,还要给他们留一部分食物,让其重新发展起来,等过一段时间,再来劫掠一次。 In this case, can grabbing to food and precious, but the refugees can also go on living, on Wicked Lands, so long as can also go on living, refugee tribe easily will not leave the territory that they are familiar with. 这样的话,就能一波波的劫掠到食物和珍贵品,而流民们也能活下去,在恶土上,只要还能活下去,流民部落就不会轻易离开它们所熟悉的领土。 Heard this opinion, Cannibal Demon shocked, they talked in whispers mutually, some also nodded again and again. 听闻这番言论,食人怪们震惊了,它们互相窃窃私语,有些还连连点头。 „You call...... Boboluo.” “你是叫……波波罗。” The Broken Tooth opens the mouth, looks down Boboluo. 断齿开口,低头看着波波罗。 „Yes, Leader.” “是的,首领。” „On comes.” “上前来。” The Broken Tooth opens the mouth, this makes Boboluo more anxious, what in the heart are more is excited. 断齿开口,这让波波罗更加紧张,不过心中更多的是激动。 Boboluo stands before the Broken Tooth body, although only arrives at the position of Broken Tooth chest, may in some Cannibal Demon eyes, Boboluo be the wise man. 波波罗站在断齿身前,虽只到断齿胸膛的位置,可在部分食人怪眼中,波波罗就是智者。 Broken Tooth looks down Boboluo, suddenly, he wields the gigantic palm, to the face of Boboluo, is coming to record the rudely slap in the face. 断齿低头看着波波罗,突然间,他挥起自己硕大的手掌,对着波波罗的脸,来了记势大力沉的耳光。 !! 啪！！ Explodes the proliferation all at once, Boboluo pulls out the spiral to spin to shoot in nearby flame, in the midair also leaves behind the nosebleed that several gradually drop. 一股气爆扩散,波波罗被抽得螺旋飞射到一旁的火焰中,半空中还留下几圈逐渐落下的鼻血。 Broken Tooth is getting angry about the Boboluo direction: „In us, does not need the idiot!” 断齿对着波波罗的方向怒道:“我们之中,不需要蠢货！” After leaving behind these words, the Broken Tooth stride walks toward the grey valley, in its simple thought that grabs each time does not snatch unexpectedly cleanly, what isn't this stupid is? 留下这句话后,断齿大步向灰谷外走去,在它简单的思维中,每次劫掠竟然不抢干净,这不是蠢是什么？ Above the mountain valley, three forms stand here, the entire journey witness below all, a woman opens the mouth saying: 山谷上方,三道身影站在此处,全程目睹下方的一切,其中一名女人开口道: „The day after tomorrow is Divine Memorial Day, now elects, can be too late?” “后天就是神祭日,现在才来选,会不会太晚了？” Hears this word, her man shakes the head, explained: „Cannot grasp is too early, Healing Institute is too hard to deal with, even if had put together the light them the day before yesterday, but Kukulin White Night has not died, ahead of time grasps Cannibal Demon to close in the city, the risk is too high.” 听闻此言,她身旁的男人摇了摇头,解释道:“不能抓太早,治疗院太难缠,就算前天已经把他们拼光,但库库林・白夜还没死,提前来抓食人怪关在城里,风险太高。” „What are above these people actually thinking? Is the arrangement so long? For when Divine Memorial Day, makes some Cannibal Demon to come out to disturb? This also......” “上头那些人到底在想什么？筹备这么久？就是为了在神祭日时,弄些食人怪出来捣乱？这也……” The woman of opening the mouth actually wants saying that this also fell in price. 开口的女人其实想说,这也太掉价了。 „More is represents the significance, Cannibal Demon can take us as the food, they appear in Tall Wall City, the psychological impact on civilians is very big, Tall Wall City similarly is the place that we live, cannot do too overdone.” “更多是代表意义,食人怪能以我们为食,它们出现在高墙城里,对平民们的心理冲击很大,高墙城同样是我们生活的地方,不能搞得太过火。” „Originally is this, that starts, strives to complete this hunting for before dawn.” “原来是这样,那就开始吧,争取在天亮前完成这次捕猎。” „Good.” “好。” The word, in three people of jump grey valleys, after several seconds, angrily roars transmits with the bellow one after another, but no will subside. 言罢,三人跃进灰谷内,几秒后,怒吼与轰鸣声接连传来,但没一会又平息下来。 What is very interesting, in the people heart in Tall Wall City, the refugee, wild animal outside, the crazy beast wall is the monsters, but refugee outside in wall, wild animal and crazy beasts heart, Su Xiao, duke, Archbishop, Saint Libator, Watty Lifuc and the others, are the genuine monsters, making them dread not to dare easily to approach the fearful monster near tall wall. 很有趣的是,在高墙城内的民众心中,墙外的流民、野兽、狂兽等都是怪物,但在墙外的流民、野兽、狂兽们心中,苏晓、公爵、大主教、圣祭祀、瓦迪・利法克等人,才是真正的怪物,让它们畏惧到不敢轻易靠近高墙附近的可怕怪物。 ...... …… The rising sun raises, in the bedroom, Su Xiao sits on the bed sets out, he just had/left the bedroom to prepare to have the breakfast, new Institution Head Liz catches up in a hurry. 初阳升起,卧室内,苏晓在床上坐起身,他刚出卧室准备吃早餐,新任院长・莉斯就匆匆赶来。 „Sir Institution Head, Archbishop must summon you.” “院长大人,大主教要召见您。” New Institution Head Liz opens the mouth is Sir Institution Head, obviously forgot is in itself name brand Institution Head, although only then reputation. 新任院长・莉斯开口就是院长大人,显然是忘了自己才是正牌院长,虽说只有个名头。 „Does Archbishop look for me?” “大主教找我？” Su Xiao puts down one cup of milk that just carried, looked at a time, only brings Boubo to go out. 苏晓放下刚端起的一杯牛奶,看了眼时间,只带布布汪出门。 Under Liz's showing the way, Su Xiao has not gone to the direction of cathedral, but to the stretch of leaving uncultivated area leaning city south, here had many unpopulated abandoned constructions. 在莉斯的领路下,苏晓没去大教堂的方向,而是到了偏城南的一片荒废区,这里有很多无人居住的废弃建筑。 Before 2nd Layer little building who crawls a Mando kind of plant, Liz sounds the door, after the moment, wears the black hood, puts on the aide of hunting clothing/taking to open the door, after his just like the shaving knife sharp vision has swept Su Xiao and Liz, to Su Xiao slightly has to bow to salute, makes the posture that invited. 一栋爬满藤类植物的二层小楼前,莉斯敲响房门,片刻后,一名戴着黑色头罩,穿着狩猎服的侍从开门,他那犹如刮刀般锐利的目光扫过苏晓与莉斯后,对苏晓略有躬身施礼,做出请的姿势。 Entered 2nd Layer little building, in the room is somewhat dim, the light dust taste, the arrangement in room is simple, the big wooden chair that front depends on the wall is most conspicuous, on that sits is lying an old and withered old person, his body top head the blanket, is only revealing the head, on the lip proliferates the vertical opening, whole face age-spots, eye socket hollow is very obvious, in eyes a pollution. 进了二层小楼,房间内有些昏暗,还有淡淡的灰尘味,房间内的陈设简单,前方一张靠着墙壁的大木椅最显眼,在那上面,坐卧着一名苍老、干枯的老人,他身上盖着毯子,只露出头部,嘴唇上遍布竖向裂口,满脸老人斑,眼窝凹陷的很明显,双眼中一片浑浊。 Sees Su Xiao to come, this old person shows some smile rarely, he lifts the arm from the blanket slowly, hints Su Xiao to sit. 看到苏晓来,这位老人难得露出些许笑容,他从毯子内慢慢抬起手臂,示意苏晓过来坐。 This person is one of the Church of Healing highest hierarchs, Archbishop, about his name, seems no one knows. 此人是治愈教会的最高掌权者之一,大主教,关于他的姓名,似乎已是无人知晓。 „Today do not leave, accompanies my old thing to chat in this, first eats an apple.” “今天就别离开了,在这陪我这老东西聊聊,先吃个苹果。” Archbishop hands over an apple, no longer spoke, probably fell asleep sat in repose with eyes closed. 大主教递来一颗苹果,就不再说话,像是睡着了般闭目养神。 At this moment in the peripheral region, several hundred spying on vision leaves resentfully, some people, tie up enough are bombing flat the explosive material of this waste area, this obviously is long-premeditated killing, must before Divine Memorial Day starts, the Immortal price eradicates Su Xiao. 此刻在周边区域,几百道窥探的目光悻悻离开,其中一些人身上,绑着足够炸平这废区的爆炸物,这显然是蓄谋已久的袭杀,要在神祭日开始前,不朽代价铲除苏晓。 But at this time, Su Xiao with Archbishop together, that is hiding in faction in secret, without lost the wisdom completely, does not dare to act to Archbishop. 但此时,苏晓正与大主教一同,那股隐藏在暗中的势力,只要没完全失了智,就不敢对大主教出手。 In 2nd Layer little building, Su Xiao Sensor, the peripheral that aura retreat certainly, naturally thinks reason that Archbishop will find here. 二层小楼内,苏晓当然感知到,周边那一股股气息退走,也自然想到大主教将自己找到此处的原因。 „Tomorrow morning will be all right, you have a more important matter to do, does not need with these deathsworn minute/share of victories and losses.” “明早就没事了,你还有更重要的事要做,没必要和这些死士分个输赢。” Archbishop said, was weaker, can only continue to rest to maintain mental tranquility. 大主教说完,更虚弱了些,只能继续小憩养神。 Su Xiao is looking at the apple in hand, he does not certainly prepare and these deathsworn minute/share of victories and losses, even if won, income with undertaking the risk is not coordinated. 苏晓看着手中的苹果,他当然不准备和那些死士分个输赢,就算赢了,收益与承担的风险也不对等。 Comes the safe/without matter, Su Xiao to close eyes to contemplate idly, today he just the safe/without matter, various matters concerned arranges, and other tomorrow's Divine Memorial Day celebrations will start. 闲来无事,苏晓闭目冥想,今天他刚好无事,各类事宜都筹备好,就等明天神祭日的庆典开始。 Contemplates the moment, Su Xiao opens the eyes, looks to Archbishop, hesitated, asked: „How long you lived.” 冥想片刻,苏晓睁开双眼,看向大主教,沉吟了下,问道:“你活多久了。” „Has forgotten, the young people, do not pursue Eternal Life, with Eternal Life relative, is the deathly stillness.” “已经忘记了,年轻人,别追求永生,和永生相对的,是死寂。” Spoke these words, Archbishop really falls asleep. 说完这句话,大主教真的睡着。 Eternal Life and deathly stillness, Su Xiao felt that these words the information quantity is huge, before having more information, all also guessed. 永生与死寂,苏晓感觉这句话的信息量巨大,不过在有更多情报之前,一切还都是猜测。 Contemplates, quick that the time passes, the curtain of night arrives quietly, in city brilliantly illuminated, tomorrow will be the every year grandest day. 冥想中,时间过的很快,夜幕悄然降临,城内灯火通明,明天就是每年最盛大的日子。 On the same day side when first wiped the rising sun has risen the tall wall, on the street in central area the quick standing person, the civilians in peripheral east, west, south, and north four city area, nearly has gathered here, the local resident simply does not push on the street, can only look into the distance to the distant place in the roof. 当天边的第一抹初阳升过高墙时,中心区的街道上已经快站满人,周边东西南北四个城区的平民,近乎都汇聚到此处,本地居民干脆挤不到街上,只能在楼顶向远处眺望。 In central square nobody left, but outside the iron gates of six entrances, has been filled with the person, in people hand takes various bouquets of flowers, offered a sacrifice to the god offers the candlelight, because of frequently has the candle to many situation that God's Idol covers, several hundred years ago changes to the bouquet of flowers. 中心广场内空无一人,但六个入口的铁门外,已挤满人,人们手中都拿着各类花束,原本祭神是献上烛火,但因经常出现蜡烛多到将神像盖住的情况,几百年前就改用花束。 With front door opening of central square peripheral six direction, many civilians enter in the square, mysterious happened, they just walked, in the hand the flower petal of bouquet of flowers starts to strip, hikes up to sky over. 随着中心广场周边六个方向的大门开启,众多平民走进广场内,神奇的一幕发生,他们刚走进来,手中花束的花瓣就开始剥离,向上空飘起。 How to crush into the central square is a difficult problem, but after offering a sacrifice to the god , if pushes, this is a bigger difficult problem, every year has by the pushing injured. 如何挤进中心广场是个难题,但祭神后如果挤出去,这才是更大的难题,每年都有被挤伤者。 As after civilians batches of offer a sacrifice to the god leaves, the sky flutters completely the assorted flower petal, the flower fragrance lets the atmosphere somewhat holiday color of central square. 随着平民一批批来祭神后离开,上空飘满各色花瓣,花香味让中心广场的气氛更有几分节日色彩。 Several meters high God's Idol towers in the most center of square, this is the Eternal Life God statue, but spoke the heart words, Eternal Life God seems like not genial, instead is more like the person to stand, but half -and-a-half people of beasts exist. 一座十几米高的神像耸立在广场的最中心,这正是永生之神的石像,不过说心底话,永生之神看起来并不和善,反而更像是人立而起的半人半兽存在。 In the square a babel of voices, after crossing the initial tide of people, here no longer like that crowded, the kidding around sound that starting to hear the child, as well as is snuggling mutually lover. 广场内人声鼎沸,过了最初的人潮后,这里不再那般拥挤,开始能听到孩童的嬉闹声,以及互相依偎着的情侣。 South the central square, this region was partly blocked, here old times was the Healing Institute jurisdictional boundary, this year the situation is special, this place took over by Furious Hammer Institute. 中心广场南侧,这片区域被半封锁,这里往年是治疗院的管辖区,今年情况特殊,此地由怒锤机构接手。 The duke stands in an numerous Steam God Cult member front, he is slightly near the bottom, is his eldest son Crank. 公爵站在一众蒸汽神教成员前方,他稍靠后些,是他的长子・克兰克。 „White Night, it seems like our worries were unnecessary.” “白夜,看来我们的担心多余了。” The duke opens the mouth, on the face is the happy expression of seeming to be does not have, hears him to open the mouth, in the rear numerous Steam God Cult member, a mask male retreats quietly, his person puts Cannibal Demon awfully, such opportunity that Healing Institute will replace, Furious Hammer Institute will not miss thoroughly. 公爵开口,脸上是似有似无的笑意,听闻他开口,后方一众蒸汽神教成员中,一名面具男悄然退走,他要命人放食人怪,此等彻底将治疗院取代的机会,怒锤机构不会错过。 „Divine Memorial Day just now starts.” “神祭日才刚开始。” Su Xiao looks the flower petal that in the sky flutters, an ominous feeling, even more is close. 苏晓看着天空中飘飞的花瓣,一种不祥感,越发接近。 Hears this word, the one side duke shakes the head with a smile, the attack about Divine Memorial Day, is he plans, regarding this naturally ninety percent sure. 听闻此言,一旁公爵笑着摇了摇头,关于神祭日的袭击,就是他策划的,对此当然十拿九稳。 Tick-tock and tick-tock ~ 滴答、滴答~ The raindrop falls, this makes the duke frown, raining is not the good deed, after putting Cannibal Demon, not being able to do well the heavy rain can create the hindrance that the civilians escape, thus appears is unnecessary troubles. 雨滴落下,这让公爵皱起眉头,下雨可不是好事,放食人怪后,搞不好大雨会造成平民逃跑的阻碍,从而出现不必要麻烦。 Smell of blood disseminates, at this time the people discovered suddenly, in sky below is not the rain, said accurately, is the blood rain. 一股血腥味弥散开来,此时众人恍然发现,天空中下的不是雨,准确的说,是血雨。 ! 咔嚓！ A bright weather thunderclap, under the sky flickers on the overcast sky, the blood rain gets bigger and bigger. 大晴天一声炸雷,天空下一瞬就阴云密布,血雨越下越大。 „How to achieve?” “怎么做到的？” Su Xiao side looks to the duke, the duke is speechless suddenly, how he special knows how this is achieves. 苏晓侧头看向公爵,公爵一时间无言,他特么怎么知道这是怎么做到的。 The blood rain falls, causes civilian terrified Anomaly in central square, to people of escaping, has presented the stampede. 血雨落下,导致中心广场内的平民们惶恐异常,向外逃的人们,都已经出现踩踏事件。 Ka and kā bā ~ 咔吧、咔吧~ The resounding sound transmits, the Eternal Life God statue of square center splits, finally loudly blasting open, this thing, unexpectedly is a stone shell, inside imprisons sleepily, is Eternal Life God. 脆响声传来,广场中心的永生之神石像裂开,最终轰然炸裂,这东西,竟是一层石壳,里面囚困的,正是永生之神。 „Roar!!!” “吼！！！” In the blood rain, Eternal Life God face upwards to roar, the sound wave spreads layer upon layer. 血雨中,永生之神仰天咆哮,层层音浪扩散开。 After Su Xiao witnesses all these, looked again to duke, the cheeks of duke twitched ruthlessly, he wants saying that this matter indeed was not he does. 苏晓目睹这一切后,再次看向身旁的公爵,公爵的脸颊狠狠抽动了下,他想说,这事的确不是他做的。
