After appointing and dismissing announced that all people deferred to the request of Roland, has carried on oath of office. 任免公布完毕后,所有人都按照罗兰的要求,进行了就职宣誓。 Such flow officials first time saw, but turns over to novelly novelly, everybody meticulously had still done, and many people desirably were very high the chest. 这样的流程众官员还是第一次见到,不过新奇归新奇,大家仍一丝不苟地做了下来,并且不少人还刻意挺高了胸膛。 The oath itself does not have any special place, " is loyal to King and adhering faithfully " -- this is the words that each official often said that but when the so official situation, was working as the surface and sound said of people left, it then as if becomes visible, seems significance that had was unable to neglect. 誓词本身并没什么特别之处,「忠于国王、恪尽职守」——这是每位臣子都常挂在嘴边的话,但在如此正式的场合,当着众人的面和声道出时,它便仿佛变得有形起来,好似拥有了无法忽视的意义。 Roland knows, they gradually fusion is being a whole. 罗兰知道,他们正在渐渐融合为一个整体。 „Since you passed the inauguration ceremony, then should start to work.” He stands up from the seat of honor, a palm pats on the big map of back wall, „sweeps clear Fertile Plain the threat of Devil thoroughly, guaranteed west Neverwinter City north to security, returns to the mainland center to build foundation for human-- this will be Greycastle next year the main goal!” “既然你们已经通过了就职仪式,那么接下来该开始工作了。”他从主位上站起身,一掌拍在背后墙壁的大地图上,“将魔鬼的威胁彻底清扫出沃土平原,保证无冬城西北方向的安全,为人类重返大陆腹地打下基础——这就是灰堡明年最主要的目标！” The failure of two War of Divine Will has compelled the hopeless situation people step by step, the back is the sea, roadless may draw back again. Regardless of survival natural resource or the strategic significance, westbound is the only outlet. 两次神意之战的失败已将人们一步步逼到了绝境,背后便是大海,再也无路可退。无论从生存资源还是战略意义上来说,西进都是唯一的出路。 To stand firm on the broad plain, must draw out Taqila this Nail-- without the God stone mineral lode, Devil is unable to establish the obelisk, Greycastle can actually obtain together the safe frontline territory. Later no matter develops with concentration, waits for an opportunity to counter-attack, its initiative will grasp in own hand. 想要在广阔的平原上站稳脚跟,就必须拔出塔其拉这颗钉子——没有神石矿脉,魔鬼就无法立下方尖碑,灰堡才能真正得到一块安全的前线领地。之后不管是潜心发展,还是伺机反攻,其主动权都将握在自己手中。 After all the motion of human does not need to rely on red mist. 毕竟人类的行动不需要依赖红雾。 When the technical force achieves the qualitative change, the weapon attack range will also obtain the considerable progress. 当技术力量达到质变之时,武器的进攻范围亦会得到长足的进步。 „As you bid, Your Majesty!” The people caress the chest to say with one voice. “遵命,陛下！”众人齐声抚胸道。 After the conference ended, Roland returned to office, before Nightingale to make the good black tea to place his table. 会议结束后,罗兰回到办公室,夜莺已经将泡好的红茶放在了他的桌前。 „Was laborious.” “辛苦了。” She is still that relaxed facial expression, corners of the mouth vibration dried fish showed that its is happy. 她依然是那副轻松的神情,嘴角抖动的鱼干显示其心情还算不错。 „...... Thanks,” Roland carries to brave delicate fragrance the teacup, in the mind to think suddenly that words of Anna last night, could not bear have sized up opposite party two much. “啊……谢谢,”罗兰端起冒着清香的茶杯,脑海里忽然想到安娜昨晚的那番话,忍不住多打量了对方两眼。 The agreement is anything, Anna had not related in detail, the wedding banquet that the morning ascending the throne grand ceremony and evening are held, Nightingale treats with everybody in the same place, saw cannot complete „agreement” likely appearance. 约定到底是什么,安娜一直没有细说,不过上午的登基大典和傍晚举行的婚宴,夜莺都同大家待在一起,怎么看也不像是能完成“约定”的样子。 This riddle topic makes him somewhat ascertain really airtight. 这个谜题着实让他有些捉摸不透。 Moreover Roland thought faintly, the words that directly asked that two people will both not tell his true answer. 而且罗兰隐隐觉得,直接相问的话,两个人都不会告诉他真正的答案。 „How?” At this moment, the Nightingale sound conveys from the ear suddenly, „is my today's appearance specially attractive?” “怎么了？”就在这时,夜莺的声音突然从耳边传来,“我今天的模样特别好看吗？” „No......” He drank tea hastily, to conceal own absent-minded, „my meaning is, right......” “不……呃,”他连忙喝了口茶,以掩饰自己的失神,“我的意思是,没错……” „Is that " is " or " is not " ?” The latter bent down, gathers his front the face, Roland even can smell the delicate fragrance that she beautiful hair within transmits, „your mentally confused.” “那到底是「是」还是「不是」呢？”后者俯下身来,将脸凑到他的面前,罗兰甚至能闻到她秀发间传来的清香,“你的心乱了喔。” Has not waited for him to answer, Nightingale moved sideways to go, leans in the deck chair, happily chews dried fish. 还未等他回话,夜莺已经闪身而去,倚靠在躺椅上,得意地嚼起鱼干来。 Realized that this is making fun of itself, Roland shook the head reluctantly, but somewhat rejoiced at heart. 意识到她这是在捉弄自己,罗兰无奈地摇了摇头,但同时心里又有些庆幸。 No matter how, at least a little he can affirm. 不管如何,至少有一点他可以肯定。 The opposite party is that Nightingale that he is familiar with. 对方还是他熟悉的那个夜莺。 ******************* ******************* Western Region, sky over wild snowfield. 西境,蛮荒雪原上空。 „How many are the present speed?” “现在的速度是多少？” Without answer. 没有回答。 By the ear of Lightning completely is the sound of strong winds howling, opens mouth continually is very difficult, if spoke against the wind, only feared that the tongue will be ripped open by the blade edge turbulent flow. She has to revolve magic power, starts " coherence " . 闪电的耳旁尽是狂风呼啸之声,连张嘴都十分困难,如果迎风说话,只怕舌头都会被刀锋般的乱流撕开。她不得不运转起魔力,发动「同调」。 In an instant, the piercing chill in the air vanished from face, the wind noise also falls the degree that has been able to endure. 刹那间,刺骨的寒意从脸上消失了,风噪声也降到了可以忍受的程度。 „Macy, how many are the present speed?” She asked again. “麦茜,现在的速度是多少？”她再次问道。 „I have a look at gu!” The latter drills half from her neck below collar, „is almost two times of gu of marsh hawk.” “我看看咕！”后者从她脖子下方的衣领中钻出半个头来,“差不多是灰鹰的两倍咕。” Is probably related with the wild animal instinct, regarding the judgment of speed, Macy has extremely good sensation ability, compared with consumes the estimated speed according to magic power, takes her to fly together is obviously more convenient. 大概跟野兽本能有关,对于速度的判断,麦茜有着极佳的感知能力,比起依据魔力消耗来估算速度,带上她一起飞行显然更加方便。 „Speed 300 kilometers?” Lightning sighed slightly, when the marsh hawk by upper air to prey initiated the dive, the speed can amount to 150 kilometers every hour, little had the goal to avoid such attack. Now she has gone far beyond the marsh hawk, may somewhat not be at heart able to be happy. “时速300公里么？”闪电微微叹了口气,灰鹰由高空向猎物发起俯冲时,速度可以达到150公里每小时,很少有目标能躲开这样的攻击。如今她已经远远超过了灰鹰,可心里却有些高兴不起来。 300 kilometers...... This has not relied on the limit of coherence flight. 300公里……这已是不依赖同调飞行的极限。 Since the ability evolves, she spent the massive time to be familiar with oneself new ability, and mastered the skill of active control magic power coherence. In other words, so long as she can endure illness various in high-speed flight, can consume throughout placed the threshold. 自打能力进化后,她花费了大量时间来熟悉自己的新能力,并掌握了主动控制魔力同调的技巧。换句话说,只要她能忍受高速飞行下的各种不适,就能始终将消耗保持在最低限度。 In this regard, Your Majesty Roland also upgraded the complete set of equipment for her, for example the inside lining of against goggles and two layers insulation of circular arc mirror surface, as well as a resistance smaller personal backpack, it may be said that has achieved the pinnacle under the limit of weight. 在这方面,罗兰陛下也为她更新了全套设备,例如圆弧镜面的防风镜、双层保温的内衬、以及阻力更小的贴身背包,可谓在重量的限制下做到了极致。 This series of measures make her break own horizontal flight record unceasingly, but the restriction of body still exists, now looks like, 300 kilometers speed perhaps was a hard-to-pass ridge. 这一系列措施让她不断突破自身的平飞记录,但身体的制约依然存在,现在看来,300公里的时速或许是一个难以逾越的坎了。 Once launches the coherence, the magic power spending rate dramatically will then increase. 而一旦展开同调,魔力的消耗速度便会大幅增加。 Lightning somewhat envies the strong body of Exceed Witch. 闪电不禁有些羡慕起超凡女巫的强健身体来。 Naturally, the ability had determined in that moment of awakening, she can draw support, only has the day after tomorrow effort tempering. 当然,能力在觉醒的那一刻就已确定,她能借助的,唯有后天的努力磨炼。 Perhaps after returning to Neverwinter City, she can consult to Logia, how can bring forth a more grandiose body? 也许返回无冬城后,她可以向洛嘉请教一番,如何才能练出更为壮硕的身躯？ „Attention gu!” Macy shouts in her arms suddenly, „we to the Taqila ruins, only then less than 100 kilometers being away from!” “注意咕！”麦茜忽然在她怀里嚷道,“我们离塔其拉废墟只有不到100公里的距离了！” „This......” Lightning closes both eyes, has felt in magic power storage quantity all over the body carefully, afterward turns upwards the corners of the mouth, „that made us give Devil one to be pleasantly surprised good.” “这样啊……”闪电闭上双眼,细细感受了遍体内的魔力存量,随后翘起嘴角,“那就让我们给魔鬼一个惊喜好了。” After mastering the new ability, Your Majesty agreed finally she plunders the game...... No, request of detection--, even if placed the lowest cruising speed, she is also far quickly these clumsy Dread Beast, so long as plans good magic power, meets the dangerous possibility to be minimal. 掌握新能力后,陛下总算是同意了她搜刮野味的……不,侦查的请求——哪怕维持在最低的巡航速度,她也远快过那些笨拙的恐兽,只要规划好魔力,遇到危险的可能性微乎其微。 But Lightning does not satisfy this, she always remembers for three years ago the place of analysis desolate, was frightened the feeling ashamed scene that is scared out of one's wits in stone tower ruins by the Devil ice sculpture. As explorer, has lost to the guts unexpectedly, such shame must be compensated! 而闪电并不满足于此,她始终记得三年前初探蛮荒之地,在石塔遗迹中被魔鬼冰雕吓得魂不附体的羞人场景。作为一名探险家,居然败给了胆量,这样的耻辱必须得到补偿！ The fear stems from unknown, present Devil to her, cannot call any fearful monster. 恐惧源于未知,现在的魔鬼对她而言,已称不上什么可怕的怪物了。 „Lightning, firepower full!” “闪电,火力全开！” Heard these words, the pigeon shrank in the collar immediately. 听到这句话,鸽子立刻把头缩进了衣领中。 The little girls start constantly to improve the speed, even if there is protection of coherence, she can also feel the wind sound/rumor to increase suddenly, from sharp neighed to turn into vigorous thundering. The snow-white earth is similar to changes to beach viscous emulsion, not only the outline becomes slurred, the sign that passes backward even more is also obvious. 小姑娘开始不断提高速度,即使有着同调的保护,她也能感受到风声在急剧增大,从尖锐的嘶叫变成了浑厚的轰鸣。白皑皑的大地如同化作一滩粘稠的乳液,不仅轮廓变得模糊不清,向后流逝的迹象也愈发明显起来。 Until that moment arrival-- 直到那一刻的到来—— Along with a loud sound, all the sounds of nature entirely static. 随着一声巨响,万籁俱静。 She as if worked loose the world to be common to her fetter, the wind and snow had been thrown after behind, appoint the entire vault of heaven she had a good swim. 她仿佛挣脱了世界对她的束缚一般,风和雪已被抛在了身后,整个苍穹都任她畅游。 With the Your Majesty's words, she became the sound guide. 用陛下的话来说,她成为了声音的引路人。 Regardless of duplicates many times, Lightning will not think to be weary. 无论重复多少次,闪电都不会觉得厌倦。 She even thought, she to at this moment live. 她甚至觉得,自己就是为此刻而生。 After several minutes, Taqila ruins appears in the horizon end. 数分钟后,塔其拉遗迹出现在地平线尽头。 However what made her be astonished, the ruins peripheral earth has replaced a color likely suddenly, at first sight after just liking the snow melted the muddy soil. But when she looks carefully, discovered that unexpectedly is the flesh mixed mixture! The dense Evil Beast group presses to Taqila from field of vision end, such as the tide swats generally on the Devil defense line. 然而令她讶异的是,遗迹周边的大地像是突然更换了一个颜色,乍看起来犹如积雪化开后的泥泞土壤。但当她仔细望去时,才发现那竟是血肉交杂的混合物！黑压压的邪兽群从视野尽头向塔其拉压来,如潮水一般扑打在魔鬼的防线上。 Then meets a cruel death. 然后粉身碎骨。
