The next day, Rolandsees offLotusandHoneyin the castleback garden.隔天,罗兰在城堡后花园送别莲与蜜糖。Althoughdoes not think that two peoplesuchquicklyleave, buthearsH.M.S. Clever Bellealsoafter the shoalwaits, hedecidesno longerto delay--to do thisat least to demonstrateoneselfmagnanimous, will not makeTillyfeelawkward. Thinkingputting oneself in another's place, the opposite partycanbeforeSleeping Islandneeds the massive capital, stillsentBorder Townimportantwitchis a sincereperformance, such being the case, heis also inconvenientextremelymakes excessive demands.
虽然不想两人这么快就离开,但听到俏美人号还在浅滩等待后,他决定不再拖延下去——这样做至少可以显示出自己的大度,也不会让提莉感到为难。设身处地的想,对方能在沉睡岛需要大规模建设前,仍将重要女巫派来边陲镇已是件诚意十足的表现,既然如此,他亦不便太过苛求。In order toavoidmaking a long and wearisome journeyin the snowy area, those whodeliverthemto go on boardisAnnaandWendy, withlooking out the words of numbershipping, onlyneedsone hourthento arrive in the shoal.
为了避免在雪地里长途跋涉,送她们登船的是安娜和温蒂,用遥望号运送的话,只需半个时辰即可抵达浅滩。„Many thanks your months the attendance,”two peoplebowto sayin front ofRoland.
“多谢您这几个月来的照顾,”两人在罗兰面前躬身道。„Ishouldthankyouto be right,”Rolandsmiled, „youhave mademanycontributionsfor the Border Townconstruction, Ihavetwogifts to deliveryou.”
“我应该感谢你们才对,”罗兰笑了笑,“你们为边陲镇建设做了许多贡献,我有两件礼物要送你们。”„Ritualandgift?”Lotusstaresslightly, the cheeksappearto wipecrimson.
“礼、礼物？”莲微微一愣,脸颊浮现出一抹绯红。Honeytracesownchest, looked atLotus, askedexcitedly: „Can we have?”蜜糖摸了摸自己的胸口,又瞄了眼莲的,兴奋地问:“我们也能有吗？”Rolandreceivedtwobagsto give the opposite partyfrom the Nightingalehand, „Yeah, has.”罗兰从夜莺手中接过两个袋子交给对方,“嗯,都有。”Honeydisassemblesimpatiently, extractslongwhitecotton tape, „, whatthisis, isn't the corsage?”蜜糖迫不及待地拆开,从中抽出一条长长的白色布带,“咦,这是什么,不是胸衣吗？”„cough cough, thisis a scarf,”hegoes forward the cotton tape that holds the purified cottonto establish, itsbindsonherneck, „then, did not fear that the cold wind and snowflakerinsedin the neck. Entanglesslightlythick, but can also block from the ear.”
“咳咳,这是围巾,”他上前捧起纯棉编制成的布带,将其一圈圈裹在她的脖子上,“如此一来,就不怕寒风和雪花灌进脖子里了。稍微缠厚一点,还可以遮住耳朵。”„Wú...... Quitewarm,” a latterfaceshoutedto shoutsatisfiedly.
“唔……好暖和,”后者一脸满足地嚷嚷道。Does not knowis the misconception, the face of Lotusbecameredder.
不知道是不是错觉,莲的脸变得更红了。„Insidealsohas a thing,”Honeyhas held appreciativelya whilescarf, pulls out a dicefrom the bag, „your highness, is thisalso the gift?”
“里面还有个东西,”蜜糖把玩了一会儿围巾,又从袋子里掏出一个小方块,“殿下,这也是礼物吗？”„Right, openscomes to see.”
“没错,打开来看看。”„, Is quite bright!”Sheholds up the ironbox, saidjubilantly,„Lotusyoulooked, canfindownappearanceclearly!”
“哇,好亮！”她举起铁盒,兴高采烈地说道,“莲你看,可以清楚地瞧见自己的样子耶！”Thatisoneinlays the smallmirrorinwooden box, is one of the investmentconvenientmarketcommodities. In the lifeexperience of Roland, so long asis the female, has no wayto resistthistype of sparklinggadget.
那是一面嵌在木盒里的小镜子,也是投入便民市场的商品之一。在罗兰的人生经验里,只要是女性,就没法抵抗这种亮晶晶的玩意儿。
The Honeycallattracted the attention of otherwitch, quickSleeping Island'switchassemblesonegroup, is sizing upownappearanceto the vanity mirror, the affection and sentiment of word that envyingcannot suppressoverflowintable--after allthistype the crystal glassmirror that becomesby the Sorayacoating, reflectionandoverallimage formationmustbe goodin the silverpiecemirror, thisalsomadeRolandsee a newbuyway.蜜糖的呼声吸引了其他女巫的注意,很快沉睡岛的女巫围聚成一团,纷纷对着化妆镜打量自己的模样,抑制不住的喜爱与羡慕之情言溢于表——毕竟这种由索罗娅镀膜而成的水晶玻璃镜,反光性和整体成像性都要远好于银片镜子,这也让罗兰看到了一条新的收买途径。
After the giftsends out, the hot-air balloonhas also completed the gasification. Theymount the hanging basket, waves goodbyetoRolandandnumerouswitch. Can look, theytowill soon leavesmall townto feel that somewhatis reluctant to part.
礼物送出后,热气球也完成了充气。两人登上吊篮,向罗兰和众女巫挥手告别。看得出来,她们对即将离开小镇感到有些依依不舍。„Has saying that heretrulyis a goodplace,”Tillyarrives atsidehim, saidin a soft voice,„convenientwater supply, the comfortableroom, is very difficultto believeyouintransform the presentappearancedeficientplacesinshortoneyear.”
“不得不说,这里确实是个好地方,”提莉走到他身边,轻声道,“方便的供水,舒适的房间,很难相信你在短短一年时间里就将一片贫乏之地改造成如今的模样。”„Did youregret?”
“你后悔了？”„Do yourefer tosendingsmall townto comewitch?”Shesaid with a smile, „howcan, ifcanmakethemlivewell, Iwill regret how possibly. Don't forget, I am also witch.”
“你是指将女巫派到小镇来？”她笑道,“怎么会,如果能让她们生活得更好,我怎么可能会后悔。别忘了,我也是一名女巫啊。”In the snow-whitegarden, the Tillysmiling facejust like the puresnowflake, results inattractivelydoes not have a color. If the later generationhassuchyounger sister, turning head that bringsleadsabsolutelyis100%. ButRolandis at heart clear, compared withyounger sisterstatus, sheis more like a collaboratorwithownrelations, a naturalally. Her the decisioncanlookfromyesterday, todeal withpossiblethreat, sheevendaresto go in person the strategic place.
在白皑皑的花园中,提莉的笑容宛如洁净的雪花,漂亮得不带一丝颜色。如果后世有这样的妹妹,带出去的回头率绝对是100。但罗兰心里清楚,比起妹妹这个身份,她和自己的关系更像是一名合作者,一位天然的盟友。从昨天她的决定就能看出来,为了应对可能的威胁,她甚至敢于亲赴险地。„Do youwantto go to that dangerousplacereally?”Roland asked that „, althoughisExceed Witch, butyourability not suitablefight?”
“你真的要去那么危险的地方吗？”罗兰问,“虽然是超凡女巫,可你的能力并不适合战斗吧？”„Relax, Ihave not protected oneselfcompletely the ability,”Tillystretches outboth hands, to the princesees onlyonherleft ring fingerto wear a bluecrystalring the-- of decorationsdemonstration in hand, the right handwears a white silkglove, the glovebackis inlayingblockredgem. Truly speaking, thismatchinglooks likeespeciallystrange, the asymmetricalappearancelooks likeon the later generationTstagepopularmixingbuilds the stylesimply. Hefeltyesterdayverycuriously, butstems from the politenessto consider that has not asked.
“放心,我不是完全没有自保能力,”提莉伸出双手,将手中的饰物展示给王子——只见她左手无名指上戴着一枚蓝色水晶戒指,右手则佩有一只白丝手套,手套背面嵌着块红色宝石。说实在的,这种搭配看起来格外奇怪,不对称的打扮简直就像是后世T台上流行的混搭风格。他昨天就对此感到十分好奇,只是出于礼貌考虑没有开口询问。„Thisismagic stone, discovered the unusualstone that fromancient timesruins,”sheanswered, „after pouring intomagic power, candisplay the differentabilities, for examplethisring, canletme the free-flight motionlikeLightning.”
“这是魔石,从远古遗迹里发现的奇特石头,”她解释道,“注入魔力后可以施展出不同的能力,例如这枚戒指,可以让我像闪电那样自由飞行。”Then, she seems was proving the words that oneselfspokeare ordinary, the both feettakeoffsslowly, the bodyresemblesdoes not have the weightfloatin the midair, thisscenemakesRolandhave a scare.
说完,她仿佛是在证明自己所说的话一般,双脚缓缓离地,身子像没有重量般悬浮在半空,这番景象让罗兰吓了一跳。
Can the abilitychangethrough a stoneunexpectedly?
能力居然可以通过一块石头改变？Hehad realizedquicklythisinsideis containinggreat significance.
他很快意识到了这里面蕴含着的重大意义。Ifcan the batchorderingability, the witchworking efficiencybe promoted--to takeLotusenormously, ifWitch Unioncanhaveoneto simulate the Lotusabilitymagic stone, onlyrequiresday of time to complete the construction of temporaryresidential area.
如果可以批量订制能力,女巫的工作效率将得到极大提升——就拿莲来说,倘若女巫联盟都能拥有一块模拟莲能力的魔石,只需一天时间就能完成临时居住区的建设。
After Tillyfalls to the ground, aims at an open area the right hand, sees onlybrightLightningto boil upfromherfingertiptogether, has ejected a bowlbigcave entrance the complete/evenankle areadeepsnow, revealsbelowdarkland.提莉落地后,将右手指向一块空地,只见一道明亮的闪电从她指尖迸出,将齐脚踝深的积雪击出了一个碗大的洞口,露出下方黑乎乎的土地。„Thereforeyoucansimultaneouslyhavetwoabilities?”Rolandsurprisedsay/way.
“所以你能同时拥有两种能力？”罗兰惊讶道。„It is not good,”Tillyshakes the head, „magic stoneonlypermits an abilityemergencebased on this, ifIsimultaneouslypour intomagic powertotwostones, thenanythingwill not occur.”Afterwardshesmiled, „Ihad not plannedsuchquicklydisclosedthisnewstoyou, however after last nightdiscussionhad ended, Ithink that perhapsmisunderstoodyou...... Youcanconsider the ancientruinsmatterhonestly, Iam very happy...... As well as an apology.”
“不行,”提莉摇摇头,“魔石在一定范围内只允许一种能力出现,如果我同时向两块石头注入魔力,那么什么都不会发生。”随后她笑了笑,“原本我没打算将这个消息这么快透露给你,但是昨晚的会谈结束后,我想自己或许是误会你了……你能将古代遗迹的事坦诚相告,我感到很高兴……以及一丝歉意。”„Might as well, Icanunderstand.”
“无妨,我能理解。”„Was right, Isomewhatcare, is the corsage that Honeysaida moment agowhat?”
“对了,我有些在意,刚才蜜糖说的胸衣是什么？”Rolandwas almost chokedby the saliva, „cough cough, Inotgreatlyclear...... PerhapsyoucanaskSilvieorEvelyn.”罗兰差点被口水呛到,“咳咳,我也不大清楚……或许你可以问问希尔维或伊芙琳。”„Good,”Tillyshrugs, „looks likeyoutomeretained.”
“好吧,”提莉耸耸肩,“看来你还是对我有所保留的。”
The princesomewhatdoes not know whether to laugh or cryfor a while.
王子一时有些哭笑不得。„Did not discuss that this,”sheblinked saying that „Ihave been pondering an issuelast night, iftheseruinsbelong toChurch, whytheycanabandonmagic stonecompletely? According to the experience of Ash, Church is also likely gatheringto raisewitch, thesethingshave the importantusefor themsimilarly. Even iffightsoneto flee to the wildernesswithDevil, buries the warresultdesirably, does not hinderthemto continueto utilizethesestone--this unable to convincecompletely.”
“不谈这个了,”她眨了眨眼道,“我昨晚一直在思考一个问题,如果这些遗迹都属于教会,为什么他们要把魔石全部遗弃？根据灰烬的经历,教会很可能也在蓄养女巫,这些东西对他们来说同样具有重要的用途。即使与魔鬼大战一场落荒而逃,将战争结果刻意掩埋,也不妨碍他们继续运用这些石头——这完全说不通。”„Doesn't Churchcare aboutthisloss?”Rolandponders over saying that butheoverruledoneselfviewquickly, „is not right, theyshould unable mass productionmagic stone, when the lightiscapturesCooperation Association that the open countrybecomes a fugitive, earlyshouldusethem. Words that after allcanfly, most peoplecannot escapehunt of Churchwitch.”
“教会不在乎这点损失？”罗兰思忖道,不过他很快又否决了自己的看法,“不对,他们应该无法量产这种魔石,否则光是追捕野外逃亡的共助会时,早该用上它们了。毕竟可以飞行的话,大多数人都逃不过教会女巫的追捕。”
„ Indeed, Ihad recalled under the royal palacebook collectionhallall the booksaboutChurchandgods, has discovered a verystrangepoint...... Theirhistorical recordsnot onlyhalt more than 400years ago, the godsorigin is also unclear, does not have the prominentgiven name, does not have the epiclegend, besidespropagandizingitomnipotentlyandnothing which is notdawn, does not havemoredetails. At leastcompared withancient timesThree Gods, it appeared much illusory. Joinedinbothtogether, makes the personhave a strangefeeling.
“的确,我回想了下王宫藏书馆里所有关于教会与神明的书籍,发现了很奇怪的一点……他们的历史记载不光止步于400多年前,就连神明的来历也含糊不清,没有显赫名号,没有史诗传说,除了宣传它无所不能、无所不晓外,没有更多的细节可言。至少比起远古三神来说,它显得虚无缥缈得多。将两者接合在一起,不禁让人产生了一种奇异的感觉。„What?”Rolandat heartonecold.
“什么？”罗兰心里一凛。„Churchlooks likegeneral that bravessuddenly.”
“教会就像是突然冒出来的一般。”
