Tilly cried for nearly one hour to subside off and on, when Roland put on her the sofa, discovered her already the lethargic sleep in the past. When two people separate, stuck one group of tears and nasal mucuses even has pulled out several filaments between the cheeks and clothes. 提莉断断续续的哭了近一个小时才平息下来,等罗兰把她放到沙发上时,才发现她已经昏睡过去。两人分开之际,糊成一团的眼泪和鼻涕甚至在脸颊和衣服之间拉出了几道细丝。 „Is so undignified” appearance naturally does not facilitate to make Sleeping Spell witch see, Roland thinks, finally called Anna, held the big bedrooms in castle three buildings Tilly with her together. 如此“毫无威严”的模样自然不方便让沉睡魔咒的女巫看到,罗兰想了想,最后还是叫来安娜,和她一起把提莉抱上了城堡三楼的大卧室。 After cleaning the cheeks, the breath of Tilly restored smoothly, sign that but has not woken up as before, thus it can be seen she truly is much more tired. Dependence busy work lulls itself, such shock therapy is not rare, only feared that knew after Ash sacrifice news, she does not have the moment to rest well. 擦拭完脸颊后,提莉的呼吸恢复了平顺,但依旧没有醒来的迹象,由此可见她确实累得不轻。依靠忙碌的工作来麻痹自己,这样的休克治疗法并不少见,只怕得知灰烬牺牲的消息后,她就没有一刻好好休息过。 „Tonight you accompany her to rest,” Roland sighed, „this kind of time most feared that a person was treating. Now can look after her, only then you.” “今晚你就陪着她睡吧,”罗兰叹了口气,“这种时候最怕一个人待着。现在能照看她的,也只有你了。” „Relax, her mood I can also feel 12, knows how should do.” Anna nodded gently, „that you?” “放心吧,她的心情我也能感受12,知道该怎么做。”安娜轻轻点了点头,“那你呢？” „I went to Border Town No.3 to have a good sleep, there, again had waited one also to might as well in any case for these days.” Roland returns saying that „, moreover news of Operation Torch victory, should make them know that earlier I think these ancient witches waited for on the day was very long.” “我去第三边陲城睡好了,反正这几天都是在那里过的,再多待一阵也无妨。”罗兰回道,“而且火炬行动胜利的消息,也应该早点让她们知道我想那些古女巫们已经等待这一天很久了。” „Yeah.” Anna walks to kiss his cheeks, „, although a little does not want to make you leave, but these matter truly important......” “嗯。”安娜走过来吻了吻他的脸颊,“虽然有点不想让你离开,但这些事确实更加重要……” „Sorry, is rare you to come back from frontline.” “抱歉,难得你从前线回来。” „Let alone nonsense, My Majesty, later also steadily.” “别说傻话,我的陛下,以后还长着呢。” When Roland gets to the entrance, Anna also stopped by calling out him. 罗兰走到门口时,安娜又叫住了他。 „Was right, do not forget to call Nightingale,” she said earnestly, „in this city cannot have the accident/surprise only, was you.” “对了,别忘了叫上夜莺,”她认真说道,“这座城市里唯一不能发生意外的,就是你了。” Looks at the opposite party limpid vision , after Roland should next, covered the door. 望着对方清澈的目光,罗兰应下后掩上了房门。 ...... …… Brought brigade personal guard just to enter Border Town No.3, Parsha then first appears before him. 带着一大队亲卫刚走进第三边陲城,帕莎便第一时间出现在了他面前。 " Your Majesty, does the frontline have recent news to feed in? Is situation what kind of? " 「陛下,前线有新消息传回吗？情况怎么样？」 From thin tentacle of opposite party whole body swinging can know, this moment state of mind not rather and turbulent. 从对方浑身摆动的细须就可以知道,她此刻心绪的不宁与动荡。 The plan that Roland has not kept guessing, returns to say straightforwardly, „we obtained Devil on complete victory plain to be eliminated, Magic Chopper cannot run away, now Taqila has put during the control of First Army.” 罗兰也没有卖关子的打算,直截了当地回道,“我们获得了完全的胜利平原上的魔鬼被肃清,斩魔者也没能逃回去,如今塔其拉已经置于第一军的掌控之中。” Parsha tentacles in an instant static. 帕莎的触须刹那间静止下来。 After silent about several seconds, she excitedly said, " this is real! Your Majesty, please forgive my is disrespectful...... I do not suspect you, but really does not know that should say what good to tell me more details? " 沉默了大约数秒后,她才激动地说道,「这是真的吗！陛下,请原谅我的失礼……我并非怀疑您,只是实在不知道该说些什么好能告诉我更多细节吗？」 After more than 400 years of tempering, little had the thing to make these high rank witch mood have the so big change, this is Roland first time sees Parsha to be rude, „naturally. However” 经过400多年的磨炼,已很少有东西能让这些高阶女巫情绪发生如此大的变化,这还是罗兰第一次看到帕莎失态,“当然。不过” " Many thanks Your Majesty, my this goes to give everybody this good news notice! " However has not waited for him saying that Parsha vanishes on one in the cavern peak. 「多谢陛下,我这就去把这个好消息通知给大家！」然而还没等他说完,帕莎就咻一声消失在洞穴顶端。 Roland has gawked the moment, finally can only shake the head reluctantly. 罗兰愣了片刻,最后只能无奈地摇了摇头。 But when waits for him to enter the underground main hall, is not only Parsha, Elicia and Celine, all remaining God Punishment Witches have gotten together in the main hall center, the platoon becomes a straight line, a face anticipated that waits for him to open the mouth. 而等他进入地下大殿时,不光是帕莎、埃尔瑕和赛琳,所有剩下的神罚女巫都已齐聚大殿中央,排成一条笔直的横队,正一脸期待地等着他开口。 After this lets Roland on the contrary not good that half a word words complemented. 这反倒让罗兰不好把那后半句话补全了。 „Allow nature to take its course,” the Nightingale low voice reminder said that „after or, told Parsha them to be good with the consciousness exchange alone.” “顺其自然吧,”夜莺小声提醒道,“或者之后用意识交流单独告诉帕莎她们好了。” Also can only like this. He nods, goes forward one step, starts to narrate last war passes through with the result detailed statistical reports has about not drawn a charge freely, rephrasing in own words of Leaf also has the omission, but important of these data and successes and failures not to them. 也只能这样了。他点点头,上前一步,开始讲述最后一战的大致经过和结果尽管详细的统计报告尚未出炉,叶子的转述也多有遗漏,但那些数据和得失对她们而言并不重要。 Has hoped to this crowd the survivors of more than four centuries, the victory is most important matter. 对这群期盼了四个多世纪的幸存者来说,胜利才是最重要的事。 When he said that the only that news, the crowd already boiling got up. 等他说完仅有的那点消息,人群已然沸腾起来。 The cheers are lingering on faintly, many witch have tears streaming down the face, but no matter cries or smiles, everybody expressed was the same sentiments. 欢呼声不绝于耳,不少女巫泪流满面,但不管是哭还是笑,大家所表达出来的都是同一种感情。 One type has worked loose the joy of fetter quiet several hundred years later. 一种在沉寂了数百年后才挣脱束缚的喜悦。 " Please forgive me once to your failure in politeness and affronting, before " Elicia arrives at his body on own initiative, deeply dangles main tentacle, " starting today, the united front did not need that has again. You are the Taqila only ruler, is our wills is. " 「请原谅我曾经对您的失礼和冒犯,」埃尔瑕主动来到他身前,深深垂下主须,「从今天开始,统一战线已无再存在的必要。您就是塔其拉唯一的统治者,也是我们的意志所在。」 Parsha and Celine have not interposed, obviously has tacitly approved her view. 帕莎和赛琳没有插话,显然是默认了她的说法。 This was also equal to that acknowledged Taqila is the Kingdom of Greycastle inalienable part will exist from now on. 这也等于承认塔其拉今后将为灰堡王国不可分割的一部分而存在。 After the Roland nod indicated accepted, Elicia sets up main tentacle. 罗兰点头表示接受后,埃尔瑕才重新立起主须。 " In addition matter I must result in tell you, " he concentrates the spirit, informed the Alena news to three people. 「另外还有一件事我必须得告诉你们,」他集中起精神,将爱莲娜的消息告知给了三人。 " Yes...... Originally is she. " Parsha said slowly. 「是么……原来是她。」帕莎缓缓道。 Those who slightly somewhat stem from the Roland anticipation is, they have not expressed fluctuations on too many mood. 略有些出乎罗兰意料的是,她们并没有表示出太多情绪上的波动。 „You...... Already knew?” He cannot bear ask. “你们……早就知道了？”他忍不住问道。 " No, we early are prepared. " Elicia confident say/way, " ambush element by Devil deliberate surrounding, if the Federation time, will not have the possibility of returning alive basically. Under can preserve everybody at such price, is the lucky matter. " 「不,我们只是早有准备而已。」埃尔瑕坦然道,「伏击小队被魔鬼有预谋的包围,如果是联合会时代,基本不会有生还的可能。能以这样的代价保全下大家,已是万幸之事。」 " Perhaps you are unable to understand, but died to us is the commonly seen matter. " Celine meets saying that " after all everybody is voluntary through the person who the soul instrument and carrier fusion fortunately survive, this process quite in had been screened by the death, that casualties serious defeats that not to mention in War of Divine Will faces fought. We are afraid only, was meaningless dying. " 「您或许无法理解,但死亡对我们来说已是司空见惯的事情。」赛琳接道,「毕竟大家都是自愿通过灵魂仪器和载体融合而幸存下来的人,这个过程就相当于已经被死亡筛选了一遍,更别提神意之战中所面对的那一场场伤亡惨重的败战了。我们唯一害怕的,是毫无意义的死去。」 " However Alena makes the choice that each Taqila soldier has been able to make, " Elicia said finally, " , therefore, you do not need to be offended for this reason. " 「而爱莲娜只是做出了每一名塔其拉战士都会做出的选择,」埃尔瑕最后说道,「所以,您不必为此而介怀。」 Therefore...... Was this instead is comforted? 所以……这是反被安慰了么？ Roland quite somewhat is at heart sigh with emotion, for a while does not know should say any good. 罗兰心里颇有些感慨,一时不知道该说什么好。 " Naturally this does not represent us not to be sad for elapsing of companion, but the war made us learn the restraint. " Parsha looked to still in joyfully celebrating witches, " this matter passed on to them by me well in this moment, made them enjoy the victory heartily joyful. " 「当然这不代表我们不会为同伴的逝去而难过,只是战争让我们学会了克制。」帕莎望向仍在欢庆中的女巫们,「这件事就由我来转告她们好了不过在这一刻,还是让她们尽情享受胜利的快乐吧。」 ...... …… Five days later. 五天后。 Along with frontline units the return of one after another, the news that the Northern Expeditionary Army wins disseminates gradually in Neverwinter City. 随着前线部队的陆续回归,北伐军大胜的消息渐渐在无冬城中传播开来。 Although it like defeating the Evil Beast tide or Duke Ryan like that comes intuitively to shock, has not caused the entire city joyful scene, in the family member neighborhood mouth that but the people still returned from the enlistment pieced together the true appearance of enemy savage, formidable and fierce not to fear little, was not hybrid species and Duke Knight group can compare. The powerful enemy image that in addition the testimony of Dread Beast attack eyewitness, complete and hell Devil tallies stood erect gradually. 尽管它不像击败邪兽潮或莱恩公爵那般来得直观震撼,也没有引起全城欢庆的景象,但民众仍然从参军归来的家人邻里口中一点点拼凑出了敌人的真正面貌凶残、强大、悍不畏死,远不是混合种和公爵骑士团所能比拟。加上恐兽袭击事件目击者的证词,一个完全和地狱魔鬼吻合的强敌形象渐渐被竖立起来。 And what is more, exaggeratingly has become it disaster hardship demon in legend, the height hundred chi (0.33 m) and mouths spit the flame and so on description is common, and fast becomes one of the main street and small alley most popular topics. 更有甚者,将其夸大成了传说中的灾厄魔物,身高百尺、口吐火焰之类的描述屡见不鲜,并快速成为大街小巷最热门的话题之一。 Even if such enemy, was routed by First Army as before, moreover determines the final outcome beyond the thousand li (500 km), this excuse has roused the frame of mind of people enormously, if came from Devil of hell unable with the Greycastle army to contend continually, but also who is their matches? 而即使是这样的敌人,也依旧被第一军所击溃,而且还是决胜于千里之外,这种说辞极大地振奋了民众的心气如果连来自地狱的魔鬼都无法与灰堡军队抗衡,还有谁是他们的对手？ «Greycastle Weekly report» also catches up, starts to print the record of frontline soldier with the large page layout, as well as return to original state entire war process. 《灰堡周报》也同时发力,开始用大幅版面刊载前线士兵的记述,以及还原整个战争过程。 Suddenly, enters for First Army, is Your Majesty opens up territory to expand the earth the slogan to become popular in the entire city. 一时间,报名参加第一军、为陛下开疆扩土的口号风靡全城。 But Neverwinter City high level at heart actually clear incomparable, the real challenge that they will soon face is anything. 但无冬城高层心里却清楚无比,他们即将面对的真正挑战是什么。 City west public tomb. 城西公共墓地。 Drops the first tombstone from five years ago Months of Demons, this from piece of overgrown with weeds wasteland, turns into Bochi Park that the present grass has covered. 从五年前的邪月落下第一块墓碑起,这个从一片杂草丛生的荒地,变成了如今绿茵覆盖的墓地公园。 But today, here increased 426 tombstones. 而今天,此处又新增了426块墓碑。 Under them is mostly completely empty, because the limited ample capacity is incapable of all shipping back the body radically, but nobody will think that the fall guy has encountered the abandonment tombstone above name, has recorded their honor and meritorious service. 它们下方大多空空如也,因为有限的运力根本无力将躯体悉数运回,但没有人会觉得牺牲者遭到了遗弃墓碑上面的名字,记录了他们的荣誉与功勋。 Ash and Alena stele also. 灰烬和爱莲娜的石碑也在其中。 They are the same with other steles, seem do not have what difference, the only difference is only, before Ash tablet, is inserting a sword hilt of section of fuse. 它们和其他石碑一样,看上去并没有什么不同,唯一的区别只在于,灰烬的碑前还插着一截熔断的剑柄。 „Salute!” The Iron Axe high sound said, then makes an effort to lift the arm. “敬礼！”铁斧高声道,接着用力抬起手臂。 All high levels extend the military salute, even if their government positions and status above most soldiers. 所有高层跟着致以军礼哪怕他们的官职和地位在绝大多数士兵之上。 This is mourning, is police. 这是一场悼念,同时也是警记。 Decided that the destiny War of Divine Will had not finished. 决定命运的神意之战还远没有结束。 After the funeral ended, Roland calls Barov immediately, „calls all ministers, I have the new duty to confess.” 葬礼结束后,罗兰立刻叫来了巴罗夫,“召集所有大臣,我有新的任务要交代。” This challenge just started. 这场挑战才刚刚开始。
