„Hū, shouts and shouts...... Finally...... Arrived.” When comes that small puddle appears again when two people front, Simbad felt that the whole body is lax. “呼、呼、呼……终于……到了。”当来时的那个小水潭再次出现在两人面前时,辛巴迪感到浑身都松懈下来。 Thank Three Gods, thank the child and sea mother of earth, he was talking over at heart. Hole at this moment is bright, this can make two people use the quickest speed to escape. Simultaneously more approaches the sea direction, the scope of cavern contraction is bigger, is similar to an earthenware jar mouth is ordinary, iron shell giant scorpion has not pursued probably is also this reason. 感谢三神,感谢大地之子与海洋之母,他在心里念叨道。此刻的洞中已是一片明亮,这得以让两人用最快的速度逃脱。同时越靠近大海方向,洞穴收缩的幅度就越大,如同一个瓦罐口一般,铁甲巨蝎没有一路追来大概也是这个原因。 However this was not equal to thorough security. 不过这仍不等于彻底安全。 He had not forgotten that tidal crawling sound-- entire Endless Cape desert scorpion centralized in this, he will not feel surprisedly. Simbad only knows that these hunting may cross the stele wall anytime, pursues to rip the fragment following the smell them. 他没有忘记那潮水般的爬行声——就算整个无尽海角的沙漠蝎都集中于此,他也不会感到惊讶了。辛巴迪只知道这些猎食者随时都有可能越过石碑墙,循着气味追来将他们撕成碎片。 Fortunately the scorpion will not swim, so long as runs into the sea, they can be out of danger. 幸运的是蝎子不会游泳,只要逃入大海,他们就能脱离险境。 „Quick, puts on the helmet quickly!” Simbad grasps the ground the diving helmet, impatient toward neck upper hood. “快,快戴上头盔！”辛巴迪一把抓起地上的潜水盔,迫不及待的朝脖子上罩去。 However he actually discovered, fjord people have not moved. 然而他却发现,峡湾人并没有动弹。 „Hey, you are sending anything to stare!” “喂,你在发什么愣啊！” „You...... First walks.” Rex carries to him was saying in a low voice. “你……先走吧。”雷克斯背对着他低声道。 First walks? Simbad has gawked staring, damn, won't this fellow be keeping thinking about these illumination relics? 先走？辛巴迪愣了愣,该死的,这家伙不会还在惦记着那些发光遗物吧？ His anger cannot help but well ups, three and make the gait to go forward, one has broken off the shoulder of opposite party, „were you insane? Knows that now is any situation--” 他怒气不由得涌上心头,三步并作两步走上前去,一把掰过对方的肩膀,“你是不是疯了？知道现在是什么情况吗——” The words told only half that suddenly stem in throat, Simbad looked surprisedly to Rex's chest-- sees only the clothes that was made by the soft leather and goldbeater's skin to be cut an opening, the two sides were also moistening a bloodstain. 话说到一半忽然梗在喉咙里,辛巴迪惊讶地望向雷克斯的胸口——只见由软革与肠膜制成的衣服被划破了一个口子,两边还沾着点点血迹。 „Your diving attire......” “你的潜水装束……” „Broke.” Rex twists the mouth sidewise the corners of the mouth forcefully, reveals a ratio to cry also the ugly smiling face, „finally that desert scorpion has not gripped I, but its pliers actually scratched the clothes.” “破了。”雷克斯强行咧开嘴角,露出一个比哭还难看的笑容,“最后那只沙漠蝎没有扎中我,但它的钳子却擦到了衣服。” Sandpeople is silent, the opposite party chest front wound is not big, has cut the skin merely, may dive the attire to present the breakage, means that the sea water will pour into his helmet along the neck connection. 沙民沉默下来,对方胸前伤口不大,仅仅是划破了皮肤,可潜水装束出现破损,意味着海水会沿着颈部接口灌入他的头盔。 Crossed some little time, Simbad opens the mouth saying that „, if only uses the air conduit......” 过了好一会儿,辛巴迪才开口道,“如果只用输气管的话……” Rex is smiling bitterly shaking the head, „, only if we are very near to the water surface, strength that otherwise you inspire with suction pump same great ability line.” 雷克斯苦笑着摇摇头,“除非我们离水面很近,否则你吸气的力量得和抽气泵一样大才行。” Two pipelines in can maintain continually together balanced. 两条管道连在一块方能维持平衡。 This point opposite party had already told him. 这一点对方早就告诉过他了。 Therefore before , when is at answer his issue, the opposite party so will hesitate...... 所以之前在回答他的问题时,对方才会如此犹豫…… Perhaps the fjord people have realized oneself situation at that time. 恐怕峡湾人在那时候就已经意识到了自己的处境。 Rex loosens the belt-bag, hands in front of him, „this is stele sample-- please give my assistant it, said that I had found was not inferior Sir Thunder discovery.” 雷克斯将腰包解下,递到他面前,“这是石碑样品——请把它交给我的助手,就说我已经找到了不逊于雷霆大人的发现。” Simbad notes his finger to shiver slightly. 辛巴迪注意到他的手指正在微微颤抖。 „Your assistant...... Also is prepared with diving attire?” “你的助手……还有备用的潜水装束么？” „Only then these two-- from the material to suturing, manufacture one clothes at least to need six months.” Rex take a deep breath-- can look, he is restraining oneself mood vigorously, „I know that you in thinking anything, run in fact, I have thought the method that can think, has not dived the words of attire finally, exits from the cavern on impossible. Probably, this is the destiny......” “只有这两件——从选料到缝合,制作一套衣服至少需要半年时间。”雷克斯深吸了口气——看得出来,他正极力克制着自己的情绪,“我知道你在想什么,事实上一路跑来,我就把能想的方法都想过了一遍,结果是没有潜水装束的话,就不可能从洞穴里出去。大概,这就是命运吧……” „Destiny?” “命运？” „Wonder Objects Society person...... impossible becomes true explorer.” He bites the lip, „has not come while scorpion, you hurry! So long as can go back the news belt, even if I have no way to obtain the explorer title, the name certainly together will also spread over entire fjord-- along with this invention!” “奇物会的人……不可能成为真正的探险家。”他咬了咬嘴唇,“趁着蝎子还没来,你赶紧走吧！只要能把消息带回去,我即便没法得到探险家的称号,名字也一定会随这项发明一起传遍整个峡湾——！” Simbad was looking at the puddle silent the moment, slowly said, „I rejected.” 辛巴迪偏头望着水潭沉默了片刻,才缓缓说道,“我拒绝。” „Eh?” Rex does not dare to believe stares in a big way the eye. “诶？”雷克斯不敢置信地瞪大了眼。 „You also owe me 29 gold royal. If you died, I asked that who wants?” His ill-humored say/way, „this agreement, only then your I and Mu Li know, I did not think your assistant will pay this money-- to look from their wear, where the two come also very to go compared with Sandpeople.” “你还欠我29枚金龙呢。如果你死了,我问谁去要？”他没好气道,“这份协议只有你我和穆丽知道,我不觉得你的助手会支付这笔钱——从他们的穿着就可以看出来,那两人比起沙民来也好不到哪里去。” „We are only the present do not have money!” Rex protested, „, to purchase Steam engine from Greycastle...... The expenditure surpasses slightly anticipated...... When dives the reputation of attire to spread, definitely will have the massive chambers of commerce to come to rush to purchase, at that time did not need to be worried about money the issue!” “我们只是现在没钱！”雷克斯抗议道,“为、为了从灰堡购买蒸汽机……花费稍稍超出预期而已……等到潜水装束的名声传开,必然会有大量商会前来抢购,那时候根本不用担心钱的问题！” „But the issue is, these money have not related with me, will not likely have the relations with you.” Simbad one and throws the belt-bag and helmet on the ground, „you thought yourself, if turned into the excrement of scorpion, outside these people will also insist that dives the attire is the view that you invent? So long as changes the excuse slightly, can achieve both fame and fortune, has not compared this more cost-effective matter. Therefore continues my 29 gold royal to lose in vain, your desire will not likely be realized.” “但问题就在于,这些钱跟我没关系,甚至很可能也不会和你有关系。”辛巴迪将腰包和头盔一并扔在地上,“你觉得自己若是变成了蝎子的粪便,外面那些人还会坚持潜水装束是你发明的说法吗？只要稍稍改下说辞,就能名利双收,没有比这更划算的事了。所以不止我的29枚金龙要白白损失,你的愿望很可能也不会实现。” „...... What do you want to make?” “……你到底想要做什么？” " Admits unknown, overcomes. " 「接纳未知、克服自我。」 After Simbad meditated at heart, long puts out the tone, „the Mojin person does not like falling behind, does not like breaking a promise in the person, the agreement agrees, no matter the opposite party is King of Greycastle, fjord person-- I comply to help, right?” 辛巴迪心里默念了一遍后,长长吐出口气,“莫金人不喜欢被拖欠,也不喜欢失信于人,约定就是约定,不管对方是灰堡之王,还是峡湾人——我答应过要帮到底的,没错吧？” Rex cannot help but is shocked, „how may you probably......” 雷克斯不由得愣住,“可你要如何……” „Has a look at the puddle,” he takes off waterproof clothing/taking, „you had not discovered that it did change is young?” “看看水潭,”他脱下身上的防水服,“你没发现它变小了吗？” Rex noted at this time, the puddle surroundings presented a wet blue stone, proof that is the water surface dropped. 雷克斯这时才注意到,水潭周围出现了一圈湿漉漉的青石,那是水面正在下降的证明。 „Whirlpool sea entered ebb tide time, the distance that in other words, we need to ford is shortening,” Simbad every single word or phrase said that „, if all smooth, after we swim the water tunnel, so long as surfaces the boat ten meters to be rescued. The wear dives the attire possibly not to achieve this point, but the complete stripping naked has opportunity-- including your acquired stone. Now, takes off the clothes.” “旋涡海已经进入退潮期,也就是说,我们需要涉水的距离正在变短,”辛巴迪一字一句地说道,“如果一切顺利的话,我们游出水洞后只要上浮十米就能获救。穿着潜水装束没可能做到这一点,但全部脱光却有机会——包括你收集到的石头。现在,把衣服脱下来吧。” „Takes off and takes off the clothes?” “脱、脱衣服？” „Right, wants to support tide to be as far as possible low, we must prepare for preventing desert scorpion, but the most effective method is the arson.” Simbad nods, „, but here water vapor is full, the flowers and plants easily do not light, therefore needs the pyrophorus.” He has referred to the oil lamp, „fat adds on the leather, should be able to make the fire light a while.” “没错,想要撑到潮水尽可能低,我们就必须做好阻挡沙漠蝎的准备,而最有效的方法是纵火。”辛巴迪点点头,“但这里水汽充分,花草都不容易点燃,因此需要引火物。”他指了指油灯,“油脂加上皮革,应该能让大火烧上一阵子了。” Rex silent long time, „...... Do not try, impossible is successful.” 雷克斯缄默良久,“……别试了,不可能成功的。” „Why?” “为什么？” „When you have no way to judge the tide to fall back on the bottom, sea level each height one meter, will grow the several fold through the distance of water tunnel. The motion only will exhaust rashly all air in the long water tunnel.” He said wear a look of painfully, what „moreover is main, I will not swim from the start! Very laughable right, is fjord person-- seasick is obviously better than this point! Because will not swim, I am unable such to join in in the sea to other people, becomes true explorer!” “你根本没法判断潮水何时才会退到最低点,海面每高一米,通过水洞的距离都会增长数倍。贸然行动只会在漫长的水洞中耗尽所有空气。”他面带痛苦地说道,“而且最主要的是,我压根就不会游泳！很可笑对吧,明明是峡湾人——就算晕船都比这一点要好！正是因为不会游泳,我才无法向其他人那样投身于大海,成为一名真正的探险家！” „I already looked, in diving.” Simbad tranquil say/way. “我早就看出来了,在潜水的时候。”辛巴迪平静道。 „What......?” “什……么？” „Rises and falls depends entirely on the hanging basket, the seabed walks clumsily, does not have this set of attire, you perhaps water under.” “升降全靠吊篮,海底行走笨拙得不行,没有这套装束,你恐怕连水都下不了吧。” „Since you know, added that can swim to exit?” “既然你知道,还说要游出去？” „Because you do not need to swim, so long as will coordinate me to feel suffocated the then it will be alright-- process a little to be painful, will lose the consciousness, so long as you will not move heedlessly, I can lead you.” Simbad said slowly. “因为你不需要游,只要配合我憋气就行——过程可能会有点痛苦,甚至失去意识,但只要你不乱动,我就能把你带出去。”辛巴迪缓缓道。 „Is only you alone?” A Rex face does not dare to believe. “单凭你一个人？”雷克斯一脸的不敢置信。 „I have told you, in the oasis that in childhood lived had a deep deep pool, whom everybody liked competing with be able to dive deeply is longer.” Simbad raises the head, „I never am in the clan most outstanding one...... But that was not I have made contribution, but was I am afraid.” “我跟你说过吧,小时候生活的绿洲里有一口深潭,大家都都爱比试谁能潜得更深更久。”辛巴迪扬起头,“我从来不是族里最优秀的一个……但那并不是我尽力了,而是我害怕。” „Evil...... Feared?” “害……怕？” „Yeah, it deeply like a great mouth, making me feel that will dive again downward, is attracted to be the same. Therefore I always keep half tone, but also pretends already the exhausted appearance before everybody...... Gradually, has also believed this point including me.” He looks straight ahead Rex, „you said that I had despised myself, perhaps indeed so-- therefore I want to try, own limit where.” “嗯,它深得就像一张巨嘴,让我觉得再往下潜一点,就会被吸进去一样。所以我总是留半口气,还在大家面前装作已经筋疲力尽的模样……久而久之,连我自己也相信了这一点。”他直视雷克斯,“你说我一直小看了自己,或许的确如此——所以我想试一试,自己的极限到底在哪里。” „Similarly, won't swim is unable to leave? You determined that is your limit?” The Simbad loud say/way, „you really have not despised you!” “同样的,不会游泳就无法离开？你确定那就是你的极限吗？”辛巴迪大声道,“你就真的没有小看你自己吗！” Rex has unknowingly gotten hold of the fist. 雷克斯不知不觉握紧了拳头。 „At least you are not afraid the sea, in this regard, you were much better compared with me.” Simbad raises the corners of the mouth, „how? Can bet with me? explorer...... How doesn't take a danger to keep a promise?” “至少你一点儿也不害怕大海啊,在这点上,你比我好多了。”辛巴迪扬起嘴角,“如何？要不要跟我赌一把？探险家嘛……不冒点险怎么能算数？” ...... …… After a double-hour, the thick smoke that irritates the nose has almost filled up the entire cavern. 一个时辰后,呛人的浓烟几乎已经填满了整个洞穴。 But the beforehand puddle, gradually retreats to the water tunnel in now, just takes shelter for two people. 而之前的水潭,现在也渐渐退却至水洞中,刚好供两人容身。 The smog opposite has transmitted rubbing of desert scorpion crawling faintly the sound. 烟雾对面已隐隐传来了沙漠蝎爬行的蹭蹭声。 Just like tide that sweeping across to come. 宛如席卷而来的浪潮。 They look at each other one, understands that this was the final time. 两人对视一眼,明白这是最后的时刻了。 „Walks, honor Mr. explorer.” Simbad took a deep breath, clamps Rex to submerge in the water. “走吧,荣誉探险家先生。”辛巴迪深吸口气,夹着雷克斯没入水中。 The cool sea water fuses together with him. 清凉的海水与他融为一体。 As if when all returned to the infancy. 仿佛一切又回到了孩提时。 But his side did not have Carlow, or other clansmen. 但这一次他的身边已没有卡洛恩,或是其他族人。 He must surmount only, only remaining oneself. 他唯一要超越的,只剩下自己。
