At the same time, Vortex Seaeastterritory.
同一时间,漩涡海东域。
A scalehugefleetplatoonbecomesfivegroups of garrisons, floatsbeside the Hidden Shadowarchipelago.
一支规模庞大的船队排成五路纵队,漂浮在幽影群岛之外。Andmost strikingships are H.M.S. Snow Wind, blacksteeliron shipbody, billowingblack smoke that the top of the heademits, itwithothersea boatbrightseparating out.
其中最为醒目的一艘船只便是雪风号,无论是黑色的钢铁船身,还是头顶冒出的滚滚黑烟,都将它和其他海船鲜明的区分开来。Butat this moment, inH.M.S. Snow Winddeckbusy.
而此刻,雪风号的甲板上正一片忙碌。
The sailorsback and forthare rushing about, toenter the archipelagomakes the finalpreparation.
水手们来回奔波着,为进入群岛做最后的准备。Thunderwas confessingtopeoplein the bridgematters needing attention, „youarefjordmost outstandingexplorer, manypeopleare notfirsttimecome the Hidden Shadowsea area, thereforerubbishInot to be manysays. The position of thispiece of archipelagodrifts from place to place, in addition when ebb tidewill raise the bad fog, thereforecannottreat it lightlyat any time, understood?”雷霆则在舰桥中向众人交代着注意事项,“你们都是峡湾最优秀的探险家,很多人已不是第一次来幽影海域,所以废话我就不多说了。这片群岛的位置飘忽不定,加上落潮时会扬起大雾,所以任何时候都不能掉以轻心,明白了吗?”„Boss, youfelt relieved that” an adjutantstrikes one's chest saying that „wewith your manyyears, whenhad had the mistake? Actuallyfourbigchambers of commercemustsend out a steamshipto come, musthave problems is also onthem.”
“头儿,您就放心吧,”一名副官拍着胸脯道,“我们跟您这么多年了,什么时候出过差错?倒是四大商会非要派出一艘大船跟着来,要出问题也是出在他们身上。”„Right, comesseveralboats, wantseverywhereto go throughinhidden rocksea area, threemastsea boatsare notoneare goodto choose.”
“没错,来几艘小船也就罢了,想在暗礁遍地的海域内穿行,三桅海船可不是一个好选择。”„TheythinkprobablyownshipandH.M.S. Snow Windis equally flexible, when the time comesstruck a reefdo not have counted on that weturned head!”
“他们大概以为自己的船都和雪风号一样灵活吧,到时候触礁了可别指望我们回头!”Thissayingcausedeverybody'soneto laugh.
这话引起了大家的一阵哄笑。„Was worried that weconceal the discoverywords, made the captaintravel bydirectlyouralongsailboatnotthen it will be alright?”
“担心我们隐瞒发现的话,直接让舰长搭乘我们的顺风船不就行了?”„Thesechambers of commerceclearlywant, inthisexplorationmovesoccupiesbiggerright to speak.”
“那些商会分明是想要在这次探险行动中占据更大的话语权而已。”„Isaid that theirsubsidizationare not goodto take.”
“我就说他们的资助不好拿。”„Wants the fartherEast, not having a large-scalefleetnot to be good, matter that thisdoes not have the means.”
“不过想要去更远的东方,没有一支大规模的船队可不行,这也是没有办法的事。”Is looking at the noisycontinuouspeople, nearbyCamila Darylsighedslightly. Inbeingnearlyonemonth of navigation, shealsocalculates that had a basicunderstandingto the Hidden Shadowsea area. Here seems the Vortex Seacenter, the tiderising tidefallseach timeallstartsfromhere, is a risescopemost obvioussea area. The dropping varianceevencanmake the underwaterseveral thousandhidden rocksturn intoarchipelago, Sleeping Islandin comparisonisfeels dwarfed.
望着嘈杂不休的众人,一旁的卡密拉.戴瑞微微叹了口气。在长达近一个月的航行中,她也算对幽影海域有了一个基本的了解。这儿仿佛是漩涡海的中心,每次潮涨潮落皆是从此处开始,也是起落幅度最明显的一处海域。前后落差甚至能让水下的数千块暗礁变成一座群岛,沉睡岛与之相比不过是小巫见大巫罢了。Butwhatis more inconceivable, the Hidden Shadowarchipelagowere discoveredstillhadtenyears, butdoes not have a precisenautical chartthroughout, the reasonlies here hidden rockis notfixed--allhideawaysas ifunceasinglyis moving the positionin the underwaterobject, thathugeruinsis no exception, wantsto cross the sea area, mustwait tillallreefsto surface. Because of this, can be imaginedindifficulty of navigation.
而更不可思议的是,幽影群岛被发现至今已有十来个年头,但始终没有一张精确的海图,原因就在于这里的暗礁并不是固定的——所有隐藏于水下的物体似乎都在不断移动位置,连那座巨大的遗迹也不例外,想要横穿海域,就必须等到所有礁石都露出水面为止。正因为如此,在其中航行的难度可想而知。Mayat presentthisgroup of peoplecompletelylikelynot bewell-trainedoccupation, poursis more likeonegroup...... Goodto fight the ruthlessbanditbravely. The explorerstatustrulyhas the goodprestigebefore the FjordPeople, howeveramong the colleagues, shecannot seethis pointcompletely, except forfewlikeThundercan the person of obedience, majority is the Lords of sticking to one's own way of doing things.
可眼前这伙人完全不像是训练有素的职业者,倒更像是一帮……好勇斗狠的土匪。探险家的身份在峡湾民众面前确实拥有不俗的声望,然而在同行之间,她完全看不到这一点,除了极少数像雷霆这样可以服众的人,大部分都是我行我素的主。TooncewasnobleCamila, sochaoticsceneinstinctmadeherthinkrepugnant, ifwere notYour HighnessTillyrequest, shedoes not wantJoneandthisgroup of reallymovestogether.
对曾是贵族的卡密拉来说,如此混乱的场景天性令她觉得反感,如果不是提莉殿下的要求,她真不想让琼和这伙人一起行动。
When sighed, shediscovered that shesomewhatfondly rememberedNeverwinter CityFirst Armyto come--at leastthemwhile on dutynot to look like the monkeyunexpectedlygeneralto continuerestless, whenregardless ofstandsstraightandfull of energylining up in formationto be always pleasant.
叹气之余,她发现自己居然有些怀念起无冬城的第一军来——至少他们不会在执行任务时像猴子一般闹腾不止,无论何时都站得笔挺、精神抖擞的列队总是那么赏心悦目。Bears the bottom of heartuncomfortableness, Camilaleaves the bridgecommand post, arrived on the quarter deck of steelsteamship.
忍住心底的不适感,卡密拉离开舰桥指挥室,来到了钢铁大船的后甲板上。Hereyesthensawinfine jade that the sternplays, as well asaccompaniesinhisMs.Margery.
她一眼便看到了在船尾玩耍的琼,以及陪在其身边的玛格丽女士。Seesherto appear, the fine jadeshrinksto the femalemerchantimmediatelybehind, onlyrevealshalfto looktoher.
见到她出现,琼顿时缩到女商人身后,只露出半个头向她望来。HearsobviouslywhenNeverwinter City, fine jadecouldbe togetherwithmanywitchnormally, eventurned in the friendto comewithMacyandLightning. Camilacannot help butsomewhatdiscouragedthinking, are suchhardto be approved? Ifcompared with the understandingtime, shecanbebesidesMargery, contacted the opposite partysecondmanypeople.
明明听说在无冬城时,琼已能和不少女巫正常相处,甚至和麦茜、闪电交上了朋友来着。卡密拉不由得有些泄气的想,难道自己就这么难以被认可?若是比认识时间的话,她可以算是除了玛格丽之外,接触对方第二多的人了。
The femalemerchantsaid with a smile, „? Sad?”Shehas referred tooneselfcorners of the mouth, „hungon the faceOh.”
女商人微笑道,“怎么了?心情不好?”她指了指自己嘴角,“都挂在脸上了哦。”„No,”Camilahas gawkedstaring, „Iam only......”
“不,”卡密拉愣了愣,“我只是……”„Doesn't likeatmosphere in the command post?”Margerysawheridealikely, „Ihad already said that exploredanythingmadethatgroup of menworry, youappreciated the marinescenerywith single-hearted devotion, treated as a travelto be goodit.”
“不喜欢指挥室里的气氛吧?”玛格丽像是看出了她的想法,“我早就说过了嘛,探险什么的让那帮男人去操心,你专心欣赏海上的风景,把它当作一场旅行就好。”„Thatis how good,”Camilafrowned, „, ifwhatmatterstays out, to be equal to that handed overin the lifetheirhands?”
“那怎么行,”卡密拉皱起眉头,“如果什么事都置身事外,岂不是等于把性命都交到他们手中了吗?”„Don't youtrustThunder?”
“你不信任雷霆么?”„I......”
“我……”Margeryholds upherhand, arrives at the railing, „yoursense of responsibilityis worthadmiring, Ithink, if notso, Lady Tillywill not deliver toyouto manageSleeping Island. Butsometimes, occasionallyunder the trustothersdo not go bad-- are not only Thunder, Lady Tillyalsosame......”玛格丽拉起她的手,走到围栏边,“你的责任感值得敬佩,我想若非如此,提莉大人也不会将沉睡岛交予你管理。但有时候,偶尔多信任下别人也不坏——不光是雷霆,还有提莉大人也一样……”HowIpossiblydo not trustYour HighnessTilly--Camilato thinkat heart, actuallydiscoveredis unable easilywill refuteto say. Regarding the witchrelocationto the Neverwinter Cityincident, shedid not approvegreatly.
我怎么可能不信任提莉殿下——卡密拉心里这么想着,却发现无法轻易的将反驳说出口。对于女巫搬迁至无冬城一事,她一直是不大认同的。„Let alonetreatedsteadilyin the sea, frequentlytightens itself the spiritto be very easyto compelinsanely,”Margerythensaid,„do not looktheyare usually same as the bandit who onegroupdid not educate, in the navigational technologyvery muchhadone.”
“何况在大海上待得长了,时刻绷紧精神很容易把自己逼疯,”玛格丽接着说道,“别看他们平时跟一帮毫无教养的土匪一样,航海技术上还是很有一手的。”Camilafound the place that has been ableto open the mouthfinally, „Imuststate,Ihave not said......”卡密拉总算找到了能开口的地方,“我得声明,我并没有那么说……”„Butyouthink that right?” The words of femalemerchantmakeherbe dumbfoundedquickly, „Hahaha, thisdoes not haveanythingto be strange, Four Great Kingdomsnoblelooks atusto look like the barbarian, looks atMojinSandpeoplewithuslike the barbarian. To be honest, does not have the discrimination, orto discriminate against the reasoncompletelywithfamily backgroundirrelevantnoble, Ihave seen onlyone.”
“但你是这么想的,对吧?”女商人的话很快让她哑口无言,“哈哈哈,这没什么稀奇的,四大王国的贵族看我们像野蛮人,就跟我们看莫金沙民像野蛮人一样。老实说,完全不带歧视、或者说歧视理由跟出身无关的贵族,我只见过一个。”Roland Wimbledon.罗兰.温布顿。Althoughdoes not wantto acknowledge, butshetruly can only think ofthisname.
尽管不想承认,但她确实只能想到这个名字。After allthatpersonfouryears ago, publicizedtowitchextended the aid.
毕竟那人早在四年前,就公开向女巫伸出了援手。If before , thinks that hehas the possibilityhiddenillegalheart, nowthisexcusehas not existed, becausethatrescuedwitchbecameGreycastle'sQueen.
如果说之前还认为他有可能暗藏不轨之心的话,如今这个借口也已不复存在,因为那名被救的女巫已经成为了灰堡的王后。Many...... Trust?
多一点……信任么?
In Camilais silent, the seadistant placehas transmitted the faintdull thumping soundsuddenly, is sweeping acrossto cometowardthemjust like the monstrous wavestogether, is the innumerableschools of fishmoves restlessly--sheto know that in the sea leveltumblinglikelythatis onlyownmisconception, this momenteyesightinstituteandinrange, a seaas beforetranquility.
就在卡密拉缄默之际,大海远处忽然传来了隐隐的闷响,宛如一道巨浪正朝她们席卷而来,又像是无数鱼群在海面翻滚躁动——不过她知道那只是自己的错觉,此刻目力所及的范围内,大海依旧一片平静。„Startedto ebb.”Margerysaidin a low voice.
“开始退潮了。”玛格丽低声道。„a...... a......”fine jadeheld the lower hem corner of femalemerchanttight.
“吖……吖……”琼紧张地抓住了女商人的衣角。
After the quarter of an hour, Camilasawchange.
一刻钟后,卡密拉看到了变化。
The sharpstonehas surfacedtogether...... Thenissecond, third...... Is the archipelago, ratheris a bedstoneforestcomesappropriately, theyare raisingfrom the waterslowly, before longthenoccupied the bigpiecesea area. After the water surfacedropsoverfivemeters, understone pillar a sturdierreefgraduallyreveals the true body.
一块尖尖的石头露出了海面……接着是第二块,第三块……与其说是群岛,倒不如说是一座石林来得更加贴切,它们正从水中徐徐升起,不一会儿便占据了大片海域。当水面跌落超过五米后,石柱下面更粗壮的岛礁才逐渐露出真身。Camilahas turned very quiet.卡密拉不禁屏住了呼吸。Shefirsttimeseessoinconceivablescene--, because the entiresea areais dropping, the sea horizon of field of visionend„fluttering”, as ifroseabove the archipelago. Butthatis onlyerror that the visionbrings, the accurateviewshouldbe " slope " is right: Originalsea horizonbecame a top of slope, but the Hidden Shadowsea areaturned into a slightlyinclinedgentle slope.
她还是第一次见到如此不可思议的场景——由于整个海域都在跌落,以至于视野尽头的海天线“飘”了起来,仿佛升到了群岛之上。但那只是视觉带来的误差,准确的说法应该是「坡」才对:原来的海天线成为了坡顶,而幽影海域则变成了一个微微倾斜的缓坡。Howevereven so, the sea levelcannot seesprayas before, stops up the ear the words that turns headto look , can still describewith the uneventfulness.
然而即使如此,海面依旧看不到浪花,堵住耳朵回头望去的话,仍可以用风平浪静来形容。
After suchmarvelous sighthas continuedabout a double-hour, in the reefsflood the mist, the Hidden Shadowsea areafinallypresented the appearance that ithas been worthy of the reputation.
这样的奇景持续了一个时辰左右后,岛礁之间泛起了水雾,幽影海域终于呈现出了它名副其实的模样。
