Behind glanced through the entire chapter letter, Clever feels flood a chill in the air. 翻阅完整篇信件,机灵鬼感到背后泛起了一阵寒意。 Can open Gate of Hell, lets army round trip free Devil Monarch? 一个能打开地狱之门,让部队来去自如的魔鬼大君？ Without a doubt, this is extremely important information-- in fact, he sent the lossless downcast to feel puzzled to Brightsnow Castle, but except for can confirm that Devil from this point of north invasion city, other eavesdropped on the view of radically is all kinds. Obviously sees common people who Devil arrives at with own eyes, died in that invasion. 毫无疑问,这是个极其重要的情报——事实上,他本就对雪映堡毫发无损的陷落感到不解,但除了能确认魔鬼是从正北方侵入城市的这一点外,其他探听到的说法根本是五花八门。显然亲眼见到魔鬼降临的平民,都已经死在了那场入侵中。 Now he obtained the proof finally. 如今他总算得到了确证。 However what made him shock, this Devil Monarch knew well the human unexpectedly the rule, not only can have to do with noble, but also in a short time became Eternal Winter actual ruler, at present various territories recruit the reassignment of people, stems from its inciting basically. But the advantage that the opposite party promises is also quite rich, is not the Greycastle person can obtain. 不过更令他震惊的是,这名魔鬼大君竟然谙熟人类的规则,不仅会和贵族打交道,还在短时间内成为了永冬的实际掌控者,目前各领地征召民的调动,基本都是出于它的授意。而对方许诺的好处也颇为丰厚,绝不是灰堡人能给得出的。 Moreover, in the letter to recruiting the record of people trend is also very valuable, although is unable to be equal to the influence distribution in Devil, but where at least can analyze them to go to approximately. 另外,信中对征召民动向的记述亦十分有价值,虽然无法等同于魔鬼的势力分布,不过至少能分析出它们大致去了哪里。 What we definitely know is that the person who writes this letter is not class of Mouse and merchant, from the angle of view, this person is located in upper level Eternal Winter surely. 可以肯定的是,撰写这封信的人绝不是老鼠、商人之流,从视角来看,此人必定位于永冬上层。 The content of entire paper, narration is systematic clear, does not need to copy, is hard to do to simplify again, so long as sends out completely is a crucial information, the priority, without a doubt is the highest that grade. 整整一张纸的内容条理分明、叙述明确,既无需转录,也难以再做精简,只要完整送出便是一份关键性的情报,就优先级来说,毋庸置疑属于最高的那一档。 The issue is, the merchant team that is used to transmit information left Brightsnow Castle-- yesterday not to be as far as possible unremarkable, Black Money only places one person in the caravan merely, is cart driver, wants to make the team turn back almost impossible, but waits till next caravan set off one week later. 问题就在于,用来传递情报的商人队伍昨天才离开雪映堡——为了尽量不引人注意,黑钱仅仅只在商队中安插有一人而已,还是车夫一职,想要令队伍折返几乎不可能,而等到下一支商队出发则是在一周之后。 If starts off the time of again stopping from time to time, the time of delivering to will only draw is longer. 如果再加上路上走走停停的时间,送抵的时间只会拉得更长。 Clever for a long time, leaps hesitant finally stands up, on the table in other paper total revenue cabinets, has left behind that letter only. 机灵鬼犹豫许久,最终腾地站起,将桌上其他纸张全部收入柜内,唯独留下了那封信件。 Then is waterproof sealing wax processing. 接下来是防水封蜡处理。 After completing all these, he blows out oil lamp, receives personal the letter paper, returns to a building, gesticulates the hand signal to say to The Silence. 完成这一切后,他吹熄油灯,把信纸贴身收好,回到一楼,向沉默者比划着手势道。 „I must go out of town personally. If here has the accident/surprise, ignition downstairs kerosene.” “我要亲自出城一趟。如果这里发生意外,就点燃楼下的火油。” In Clever turns around to prepare to go out, The Silence puts out a hand to hold on him, slightly cannot look up shakes the head, then has referred to itself. 就在机灵鬼转身准备出门之际,沉默者伸手拉住他,微不可查地摇摇头,接着指了指自己。 Let him stay behind, dangerous matter gives itself to do...... 让他留下,危险的事交给自己去做么…… The Clever chuckle gets up, „delivers a letter, most 2-3 days can come back. You not only will not speak, does not know that which aids, help me.” 机灵鬼轻笑起来,“只是送个信而已,最多两三天就能回来。你既不会说话,又不知道接应点在哪,帮不了我这个忙。” In sign language not so complex words and expressions, therefore he has given a hand signal merely: „This is the order.” 只是手语中并没有如此复杂的词语,因此他仅仅做了一个手势:“这是命令。” His hand was loosening. 拉着他的手松开了。 Clever racket the chest of opposite party, did not return left the room. 机灵鬼拍拍对方的胸口,头也不回地离开了屋子。 Since the master requests him to assist Greycastle fully, then delivers as soon as possible this letter is the first important matter, after all defers to the view of Greycastle person, the information has the effectiveness, some news drag a later variable more. 既然主人要求他全力协助灰堡,那么将这封信尽快送出去才是第一要务,毕竟按照灰堡人的说法,情报存在时效性,一些消息拖得越晚变数就越多。 Therefore they in have still established the urgent contact point to the city more than ten miles villages, and has provided the inconceivable animal messenger, heard, so long as several days can escort to Dawn here news. 为此他们还在离城市十多里的村落中设置了紧急联络点,并配备了不可思议的动物信使,听说只要数天就能把这里的消息送往晨曦。 But that village, is his trip of goals. 而那座村落,便是他此行的目标。 Leaves Brightsnow Castle truly to have the risk, but must still in the controllable range. In fact, every day some people flee northern region in a variety of ways, even leaves red mist and blood of general Red Moon Eternal Winter-- top of the head, although has not had the essence influence to the life of people, but the Greycastle's propaganda and Devil rumor fermented gradually, how regardless of feudal lord stops, is unable to cancel people's fearing to this fearsome foreigner thoroughly. 擅离雪映堡确实存在风险,但总得来说仍在可控范围内。事实上,每天都有人通过各种方式逃离北境,甚至离开永冬——头顶的红雾和血一般的红月虽然没有对人们的生活造成实质影响,可灰堡的宣传与魔鬼的传言已渐渐发酵,无论领主如何制止,也无法彻底打消人们对这种可怖异族的惧怕。 These fugitives without doubt are he best shields. 那些逃亡者无疑便是他最好的掩护。 Clever is clear, the possibility that so long as the go it alone, stared by flying devil is not high, on the guard as for important highway is better to send-- gold royal after all is the world general criterion. 机灵鬼清楚,只要单独行动,被飞行魔鬼盯上的可能性并不高,至于要道上的守卫则更好打发——金龙终归是人类世界通行的准则。 The fact with being almost the same that he expects. 事实跟他预想的相差无几。 When next morning day dawn, Clever was shocking but not dangerous passed Brightsnow Castle southern gate, to monopolize that several gold royal in his pocket, guarded has not even alarmed other people, opened inside the city wall door quietly. 当次日清晨天蒙蒙亮时,机灵鬼有惊无险地通过了雪映堡南门,为了独享他口袋里的那几枚金龙,守卫甚至没有惊动其他人,悄悄打开了城墙内侧的小门。 Once crosses the dangerous places, following road then again free from obstacle. 一旦越过冰渊,接下来的路便再无阻碍。 Whenever airborne presents the shadow every day, he fast will sneak in the snowy area, the white coat has become the natural shield color/look, but these footprints looked in the upper air and wild animal steps on too has not distinguished. 每当见天空中出现黑影,他就会快速钻进雪地里,白色的外衣成了天然的掩护色,而那些脚印在高空中看去和野兽踩出来的并没有太多区别。 Arrived afternoon, he has been able to see smoke from kitchen chimneys that in faintly the village raises. 到下午时分,他已能隐隐看到村庄里升起的炊烟。 Scratched the hoar frost on nose, Clever quickened pace. 擦了擦鼻子上的白霜,机灵鬼不禁加快了步伐。 In the receiving way with city is the same, he does not need to dock with the Greycastle person, only with places the agreed location the information, and leaves behind the cipher then. 和城里的收信方式一样,他不需要和灰堡人对接,只用将情报放在约定地点,并留下暗号即可。 However at this moment, has heard dá dá the hoofbeat. 然而就在这时,身后传来了哒哒的马蹄声。 Clever cannot help but stares, he turns head to look, sinks at heart slightly, damn, will here have the Brightsnow Castle cavalry? 机灵鬼不由得一愣,他回头望去,心里微微一沉,见鬼,这里怎么会有雪映堡的骑兵？ The Greycastle person selects this village because it is situated remotely, sneaks 1-2 people from other place is very difficult to be realized, in the past noble blocked off the refugee also to elect in main road nearby, does not have the reason to run up to this place to come to be right. 灰堡人挑这座村落正是因为它地处偏僻,潜入一两个外地人也很难被察觉,往常贵族们堵截难民也多会选在大道附近,没理由跑到此地来才对。 Both's distance pulls closer fast, obviously the opposite party also saw his form, wants to hide again has been unlikely. 两者的距离快速拉近,显然对方也看到了他的身影,想要再躲藏已不太可能。 Clever stops the footsteps simply, toward coming the crowd had the smiling face-- opposite party of flattering altogether two to ride, so long as sufficing gold royal, should extremely not feel embarrassed him. 机灵鬼索性停下脚步,朝着来人堆起了讨好的笑容——对方一共两骑,只要给够金龙,应该不会太过为难他。 The cavalry soldiers' before him stop horses, is looking at him exhaltedly, „elder brother, I knows that these refugees will select some remote roads to walk, was really found one by us.” 骑兵在他面前勒停马匹,居高临下地望着他,“哥,我就知道这些逃民会挑些偏僻的路走,果然被我们找到一个。” "Ah, the luck is good. ” “啊,运气不错。” Really...... Apprehends the refugee patrol leader? 果然……是捉拿逃难者的巡逻队吗？ „Big, Sir, asking you to give my way out!” Clever ships out fear appearance, the plump kneels down in the snow, both hands handful of the purse, reveals inside striking gold royal, „I really do not want to treat with Devil that these hells come in a place, they eat the monster that the person does not blink! I am willing to offer all savings, asking you to ask me to leave!” “大、大人,求您放我一条生路！”机灵鬼装出害怕至极的模样,扑通一声跪倒在雪里,双手捧起钱袋,露出里面醒目的金龙,“我实在不想跟那些地狱来的魔鬼待在一个地方,它们都是吃人不眨眼的怪物！我愿意将所有积蓄奉上,求求您让我走吧！” „Oh? your savings are many.” The cavalries bent down to receive the purse, in the tone showed a happy expression. “哦？你的积蓄还不少嘛。”骑兵俯身接过钱袋,语气里露出一丝笑意。 „Now was your...... To, right, I have the relative in Wolf Heart, so long as you do not catch me, later I will certainly find the opportunity to repay you!” “现在都是您的了……对、对了,我在狼心还有亲戚,只要您不把我抓回去,以后我一定会找机会报答您！” „Gets up.” “起来吧。” Clever relaxed secretly, generally speaking, to these step went through basically. Can accumulate the gold royal refugee absolutely is minority, „the relative in neighboring country” also will be increasing many credible degree--, if murder not any advantage, they are not willing to cause the trouble. After all bleeds off 1-2 refugee not to have any loss to them, possibility that does not need to repay certainly in the future. 机灵鬼暗自松了口气,一般来说,到这一步基本就算过关了。能攒下金龙的难民绝对是少数,连带着“邻国的亲戚”亦会增加不少可信程度——若是杀人没有任何好处的话,他们也不愿多生事端。毕竟放走一两个逃难者对他们没有任何损失,没必要绝了日后报答的可能。 But the opposite party has not waved to make him get the hell out, but has raised own surface armor, „visits me well.” 但对方也并没有挥手让他滚蛋,而是掀起了自己的面甲,“好好看着我。” Sees only on his cheeks to have striking scabs, had been gnawed by any beast of prey likely generally, the entire ear vanishes into thin air, becomes including the half eye abnormally twists. 只见他的脸颊上有一块醒目的伤疤,像是被什么猛兽啃噬过一般,整个耳朵不翼而飞,连半边眼睛也变得畸形而扭曲。 But the body that whirls around indicated that shortly after this wound just healed obviously. 而翻卷的皮肉表明,这伤显然才刚刚愈合不久。 „Sir, your this is......” “大人,您这是……” „Was injured by the firearm of Greycastle person.” The cavalries said slowly, „at that time everyone thinks I was incurable, but I lived. Until now, I can still feel on the face the burning sensation of pain, it was reminding me, was who has created all these--” “被灰堡人的火器所伤。”骑兵缓缓说道,“当时谁都以为我没救了,但我还是活了下来。直到现在,我仍能感受到脸上火辣辣的痛觉,它在提醒我,是谁造成了这一切——” Arrived finally, his sound already completely cold. 到最后,他的声音已完全冷了下来。 Clever raised at heart fiercely an intense not wonderful feeling. 机灵鬼心里猛地升起了一股强烈的不妙感。 May not wait for him to spread out, another said the person who younger brother lifted the hand to pull out the horsewhip ruthlessly on his face. 可还没等他拉开距离,另一名自称弟弟的人已经抬手将马鞭狠狠抽在了他的脸上。 Only thought that at present one black, Clever was covering the face but actually. 只觉得眼前一黑,机灵鬼捂着脸倒了下去。 „Right, is you! If not your this crowd of damn refugees, I why go to and Greycastle person go all out! Any War of Divine Will, any human destiny, simply is the nonsense!” When spoke of here, the sound of opposite party approached shouts, „felt relieved, I will not lead you to go back, will not massacre your-- I to do here only, was makes you also taste my pain!” “没错,就是你们！如果不是你们这群该死的逃民,我又何必去和灰堡人拼命！什么神意之战,什么人类命运,简直都是狗屁！”说到这里时,对方的声音已接近嘶吼,“放心,我不会带你回去,也不会在这儿杀掉你——我唯一想做的,就是让你们也尝尝我的痛苦！” Afterward he pulls up the reins, vertical horse steps on to the Clever both legs. 随后他拉起缰绳,纵马向机灵鬼的双腿踩去。 „kā chā--” “咔嚓——” An indescribable severe pain emerged the brain of Clever instantaneously, he screamed subconsciously miserably. 一阵难以言喻的剧痛瞬间涌入了机灵鬼的大脑,他下意识地惨叫出声来。 Then is the second leg. 接着是第二条腿。 By the snowy area the bloodstained, his both legs turn into one group is linking fuzzily the muddy flesh, pursuit makes mount stop to trample. 直到雪地里血迹斑斑,他的双腿变成一团模糊连着的肉泥,追击者才让坐骑停下践踏。 „Relax, you are not first, will not be last.” Knight grins fiendishly cloudy sadly, „present...... You can escape heartily.” “放心,你不是第一个,也不会是最后一个。”骑士阴恻恻地狞笑起来,“现在……你可以尽情逃跑了。” When Clever has not noted two people to depart. 机灵鬼没有注意到两人是何时离去的。 He makes an effort breaking by biting lip, makes the lax consciousness concentrate reluctantly. 他用力咬破嘴唇,才让涣散的意识勉强集中起来。 The lower part the dead faint, snow and ice has been winning the temperature of his within the body little. 下半身已完全失去知觉,冰雪正在一点点夺走他体内的温度。 He touches the clothes of chest, letter as in position-- originally in two opinion, he only fears already with the deceased person not different. 他摸了摸胸口的衣服,信件依旧在原本的位置——在那两人看来,他只怕已和死人无异。 Unexpected, in his mind has not hated to two people, does not have the intense unwillingness, in stabbing pain and cold under interlocks to suffer, the ponder is an incomparably difficult matter, only remaining thought that then only remaining the information in bosom. 出乎意料的,他脑海里并没有对两人怨恨,也没有强烈的不甘,在刺痛与寒冷的交错折磨下,思考已是一件无比困难的事情,唯一尚存的念头,便只剩下了怀中的情报。 Clever uses the final strength, moves toward the agreement place. 机灵鬼用出最后的力气,朝着约定的地点挪去。 When he climbs up one piece to be able the hillside peak in bird's eye view village, the curtain of night is covering the earth little. The flame that in the village accidentally glitters seems to be near at hand, as if stars. 当他爬上一片能够俯瞰村落的山坡顶端时,夜幕正在一点点笼罩大地。村庄里偶然闪烁的火光仿佛近在咫尺,又仿佛远若星辰。 He has not put to hide the letter, because he is the information final vessel. 他没有将信件放入藏匿点,因为他自己就是情报最后的容器。 When darkness soon absorb myriad things, Clever at present appears the master Barry Lothar gentle facial features. 在黑暗即将吞没万物之际,机灵鬼的眼前浮现出了主人巴里赫.洛萨慈祥的面容。 He closes the eye, twittering said in a soft voice. 他闭上眼睛,轻声呢喃道。 „Father......” “父亲……”
