„Come, one, two and three......” “来,一、二、三……” „Celebrates your injury to convalesce, cheers!” “庆祝你的伤势痊愈,干杯！” In the Sleeping Spell dormitory, small joyfully celebrating will be underway. Looks happy smiling face that the rosy cloud is from the heart, Poshan has held up wine cup reluctantly. 沉睡魔咒的宿舍里,一场小小的欢庆会正在进行中。望着霞发自内心的高兴笑容,波珊无奈地举起了酒杯。 As the partner of work, the opposite party has almost free time then to come to see her together, completely does not care about her present condition. Before trading does, when Sleeping Island, she self-examined that so will not be careful to non- combat witch, this guilty mood and interwines with emotion, making her think that as if had a deficit the rosy cloud to be ordinary. 身为一同工作的搭档,对方几乎一有空便会来看她,全然不在意她如今的状况。换作以前在沉睡岛时,她自问绝不会对一名非战斗女巫如此上心,这种愧疚情绪与感动交织在一起,令她觉得仿佛亏欠了霞许多一般。 Although Poshan knows that the rosy cloud will not think of this point. 尽管波珊知道霞根本不会想到这一点。 However when her vision carries over another person, the complexion is unattractive. 不过当她的目光移向另一人时,脸色就没那么好看了。 „Why did you also come?” “为啥你也来了？” Cham righteous tosses down the liquor, „this wine is I brings, why can't I come?” 查姆理直气壮的将酒一饮而尽,“这葡萄酒可是我带来的,我为什么不能来？” „Probably said did not have you, we could not drink the liquor to be the same.” Poshan showed the whites of the eyes, „in Neverwinter City these many taverns, where does not buy good.” “说得好像没了你,我们就喝不到酒一样。”波珊翻了个白眼,“无冬城里这么多酒馆,去哪里买不行啊。” „Was a pity, Your Majesty announced Western Region enters the urgent state of war, the liquor water now has become the manages product, not having the permission words you to buy cannot buy.” Cham shrugs, „, therefore thanked me well, this was I touches secretly from father there.” “可惜,陛下已经宣布西境进入紧急战争状态,酒水现在都成了管制品,没有许可的话你想买都买不到。”查姆耸耸肩,“所以好好感谢我吧,这可是我从老爹那里偷偷摸出来的。” War...... 战争么…… Poshan did not have interest of bickering suddenly. 波珊忽然没有了斗嘴的兴致。 Even if these days lay on the bed recuperates, she can also feel Neverwinter City day by day the tension-filled atmosphere. 即使这些日子躺在床上休养,她也能感受到无冬城日益紧张的气氛。 First is in the weekly report the news about development place are getting more and more, turned for one week to issue additionally two to three publications to the present, already some fronts reported that also there are recruits with the looking for missing persons list urgently. From the content on report, garrison, although has secured the position gradually, pushes to the development the flames of war beside, the price of but paying is not also small, several prairie farms and settlements that constructs with great difficulty are destroyed in a moment, these missing workers are without doubt more unfortunate than fortunate. 先是周报上关于开拓地的消息越来越多,到现在已经变成一周增发两到三刊,其中既有前线报道,也有紧急招募和寻人名单。从报上的内容来看,驻防部队虽然渐渐稳住了阵脚,将战火重新推向开拓地之外,但付出的代价亦不小,好不容易建设起来的几个草原农场和定居点毁于一旦,那些失踪的工人无疑凶多吉少。 This point most direct-viewing response is the egg and meats in each meal is then reducing, the bread becomes the main food. Naturally, other cities when this goes into exile in experiences compared with the past still to be better on many times, at least fills the belly without question. 这一点最直观的反应便是每餐中的蛋和肉类都在减少,面包重新成为主要食品。当然,这比过去流亡时所经历的其他城市仍要好上许多倍,至少填饱肚子还是毫无问题。 Next is the scene on street. 其次便是街道上的景象。 She can in the window notice that every day the recruit of massive wear military uniform lines up in formation across the central avenue, but along the way both sides is the resident and family member who sees off. The anxiety and excitement on soldier face, with peripheral did not abandon the facial expression that and worried about to form the striking contrast. From the population, was assigned to the Fertile Plain army quantity is far from a decimal, such scale compared with the past Knight group and Church Judgement Army completely not in a level. 她每天都能在窗边看到大量穿着军装的新兵列队穿过中央大街,而沿途两旁则是送别的居民与亲人。士兵脸上的紧张和兴奋,同周边不舍与担忧的神情形成了鲜明对比。从人数上来看,被调往沃土平原的部队数量绝非小数,这样的规模跟过去骑士团、教会审判军比起来完全不在一个层次上。 This is the war. 这便是战争。 For the survival and extension of race, tens of thousands of people invest wrestles furiously, but they behind stand ten times and hundred times of people to provide the support for it. 为了种族的生存与延续,成千上万的人投入其中奋力一搏,而他们身后更是站着十倍、百倍的民众为其提供支持。 When she as combat witch these battles that experiences, in comparison truly appears somewhat not worthy of mentioning...... 她身为战斗女巫时所经历的那些争斗,与之相比确实显得有些微不足道…… Before chose and rosy cloud goes to Fertile Plain together, was not willing to be bumped into by too many acquaintances, now develops is destroyed, she must return „twirp” condition. 之前选择和霞一起去沃土平原,就是不愿被太多熟人撞见,如今开拓地被毁,她又要重新回到“无用之人”的状态了。 „Hey, how don't you speak suddenly?” Sees Poshan not to ridicule unexpectedly, Cham somewhat is unavoidably accidental, he traces the back of the head, looks secretly to the rosy cloud, „what did I speak incorrectly?” “喂,你怎么突然不说话了？”见波珊竟没有讥讽回来,查姆不免有些意外,他摸了摸后脑勺,偷偷望向霞,“我说错什么了吗？” „Rosy cloud does not know,” rosy cloud spits the tongue, „, but the rosy cloud knows, the person of speaking incorrectly words must drink three cups!” “霞不知道,”霞吐了吐舌头,“但霞知道,说错话的人要多喝三杯！” „...... You have been drunk......” “呃……你是不是醉了……” „No, this second cup, the rosy cloud is good!” “没有,这才第二杯,霞好着呢！” The knock that „thump thump thump......” out this time resounded suddenly has interrupted the Poshan train of thought. “咚咚咚……”这时门外忽然响起的敲门声打断了波珊的思绪。 „Come!” Rosy cloud jumping belt/bring jumped continually opened the door, „...... Sir Camila?” “来啦！”霞连蹦带跳地打开了房门,“诶……卡密拉大人？” Stands Sleeping Island Chief Housekeeper Camila Daryl after gate, she has swept in the room, then walks toward the other two. 站在门后的正是沉睡岛大管家卡密拉.戴瑞,她扫了屋内一眼,接着朝另两人走来。 „It seems like you over visited the time.” Poshan said with a smile reluctantly, „Ms. Daryl abhors to the person who was not punctual, you will want to mix the come in estimate to be difficult next time again.” “看来你超过探望时间了。”波珊勉强笑道,“戴瑞女士对不守时的人可是深恶痛绝的,你下次想要再混进来估计就难了。” „How can...... I have to record the time obviously, this half hour is less than......” the Cham low voice whisper said. “怎么会……我明明有记着时间的,这才半个小时不到啊……”查姆小声嘀咕道。 When Poshan prepares to say anything again, Camila actually crosses Cham, stood in her front. 正当波珊准备再说些什么时,卡密拉却越过查姆,站在了她的面前。 „Witch Union had just issued a new recruiting command, faces Greycastle all witch.” Chief Housekeeper comes straight to the point saying that „at present establishes provisionally population about 50, there is fight experience first. I thought that you are quite perhaps suitable, therefore asks specially.” “女巫联盟刚发布了一份新的招募令,是面向灰堡所有女巫的。”大管家开门见山道,“目前暂定人数在50名左右,有战斗经验者优先。我觉得你或许比较适合,所以特意来问问。” Poshan cannot help but is startled, she spent long time meaning-- in ravelling opposite party words strongly to recruit well . Moreover the fight experience first, Is it possible this did work with the war is related? But if is really so, why doesn't make the request to the job applicant ability? 波珊不由得怔住,她花了好半晌才弄明白对方话里的意思——集中招募,而且战斗经验优先,难不成这份工作跟战争有关？但若真是如此,为何对应招者的能力又毫不作要求？ „You guess right,” Camila as if saw her doubts, „witch will form a special team to support the front, assisting the principal force to deal with a more arduous fight. The specific news I cannot disclose too, you should also be clear, so long as has the risk in the battlefield on the necessity, must therefore go entirely to depend on you. Naturally...... Although too has not related with the ability, but does not represent to accept a job offer definitely to be elected, the final result must look at--” “你猜得没错,”卡密拉似乎看出了她的疑惑,“女巫将组建一支特殊的队伍支援前线,协助主力部队来应对更艰巨的战斗。具体消息我不能透露太多,你也应该清楚,只要在战场上就必然存在风险,所以要不要去完全取决于你。当然……虽然跟能力没有太多关系,但也不代表应招就必然会被选上,最终的结果还得看——” „I go.” Poshan returns to say immediately. “我去。”波珊当即回道。 Absolutely does not have what well hesitant not! 根本就没有什么好犹豫的不是么！ Or she waited for such a day was very long. 或者说,她等待这样的一天已经很久了。 „That...... Comes with me.” Camila has leaned the body. “那么……跟我来吧。”卡密拉侧过身子。 „Hey, do you want to go to the frontline really?” After the Cham side, his tone as if somewhat worried. “喂,你真的要去前线吗？”经过查姆身边时,他的语气似乎有些担忧。 „What, I also think that you will cheer loud,” Poshan curls the lip, „when such you make the rosy cloud, some people will not disturb.” “什么嘛,我还以为你会高声欢呼呢,”波珊撇撇嘴,“那样你约霞时,就不会有人打扰了。” „I......” he opened mouth, as to say anything, but is looking at the Poshan back, Cham has not opened the mouth finally. “我……”他张了张嘴,仿佛想说些什么,但望着波珊的背影,查姆最终还是没有开口。 ...... …… One day later, Poshan then took the train to arrive in the Hidden Forest outset station. 一天之后,波珊便乘坐着火车抵达了迷藏森林起始站。 The responsible person also changes into had never seen the female from Camila, she says Isabella, mainly holds the post of screening of this recruiting with the shepherd. Although is first one sees, but why does not know, Poshan always thought that has a feeling of deja vu. 负责的人也从卡密拉换成了一名从未见过的女子,她自称伊莎贝拉,主要担任此次招募的筛选与指导者。尽管是头一回见,但不知为何,波珊总觉得有一种似曾相识的感觉。 But another lets the place of her accident/surprise is, person who the response recruits unexpectedly compared with estimate must many-- incessantly be Sleeping Spell, that side Witch Union also came many people. On road in short a half hour, she then knew Vanilla, Amy, Hero and the others, in addition, she still see several extremely familiar forms in the crowd, for example once was Blood Tooth Association Iffy and Sunset. 而另一个让她意外的地方是,响应招募的人竟比预计的要更多——不止是沉睡魔咒这边,就连女巫联盟那边也来了不少人。路上短短的半个小时里,她便认识了香草、艾米、英雄等人,除此之外,她还在人群中看到几个极为熟悉的身影,比如曾属血牙会的伊菲和日暮。 It seems like they also hope to prove oneself value in battlefield. 看来她们也更希望在战场上证明自己的价值。 After getting out, witches under the leadership of Isabella, entered a construction of workshop appearance. 下车后,女巫们在伊莎贝拉的带领下,走进了一间厂房模样的建筑。 Marches into that moment in room, all people were then parked in open area central steel creation capture the attention. 步入屋内的那一刻,所有人便被停放在空地中央的一件钢铁造物吸引住了目光。 It seems like „car(riage)”, under the body the compound wheel is the certificate. However is different from Neverwinter any car(riage), it is only one side wheel has five, moreover is the metal builds, was wrapped by sheet iron splicing, its modeling appears extremely special. 它看上去像是一辆“车”,身下并列的轮子便是证明。不过跟无冬任何一种车都不同,它光是一侧的轮子就有五个,而且全是金属打造,下方则被一块块铁板拼接、包裹起来,其造型显得极为特别。 Poshan recognizes actually, this thing digs the mud, to cultivate the wasteland machine with development in these to be somewhat similar...... Right, is that type gadget that called the tractor. 波珊倒是一眼认出,这东西跟开拓地里那些挖泥巴、垦荒地的机器有些相似……没错,就是那种叫拖拉机的玩意儿。 But compared with the tractor, the present iron lump is much bigger, especially upper level, almost by the iron hoarding solid, the head was going against together the fortress control tower, the metal stub pipe that the middle stretches out obviously is gate cannon. 只不过比起拖拉机,眼前的铁疙瘩要大得多,特别是上层,几乎被铁板围得严严实实,头部顶着一块堡垒似的塔台,中间伸出的金属短管明显是门火炮。 Understood at a glance, it is one for weapon that the war lives. 一看就知道,它是一件为战争而生的武器。
