Since previoustroopEvil BeastattackexcessivelynewHoly City, on the icefieldis tranquiltemporarily, the snowpotentialwas also weakenmuch, the city peoplewelcomed the rareleisure.
自从上次一大群邪兽攻击过新圣城后,冰原上暂时平静下来,雪势也跟着减弱了不少,城市居民迎来了难得的闲暇。Thesenatural justiceshouldbeis worth the joyfulday, butMayne was still at heart empty a piece.

Howevercompared with the loss of God Punishment Army, makinghimfeelwhatheartfeltlyfearwasEvil Beastrepresents the timenode that.
这几天理应是个值得欢庆的日子,但梅恩心里仍然空荡荡一片。为了杀死那些可怕的巨型混合种邪兽,一队神罚军武士从侧门冲出城墙,与它们正面相抗。最终19人负伤,两人死亡。两只巨兽被削断四肢后,还趴在地上咆哮了很久,最后由城墙上的守卫用投矛杀死了它们。然而比起神罚军的损失,令他由衷感到恐惧的是邪兽所代表的时间节点。Silentfor a long time, helongsighs deeplyto vent anger, sitsreturns tonear the table, wantsto open the scriptureonce more, examines carefully.
沉默了许久,他长长叹出口气,坐回到桌边,想要再次翻开圣典,重新细看一遍。„Youturneditrottenly, whatfinallywill not haveto change,”Tayfuncarriedtwocups of hot drinksto enter the ring-likehallexactly, headvancedin front of a cupMayne, „hasn't Your Excellency O'Briencompliedto seeyou?”
“你就是把它翻烂了,结果也不会有什么变化,”泰弗伦恰好端着两杯热饮走进环形厅,他将一个杯子推到梅恩面前,“奥伯莱恩冕下还没答应见你?”„Ithirdtimehave dispatchedto requesttoPivotal Secret Area, but that sidehas still not responded,” the Mayneanxioussay/way, „does not know that Your Excellencyis busy atanything, thiscritical moment--”
“我已经第三次向枢秘区递出请求了,可那边依然没有回应,”梅恩焦虑道,“也不知道冕下到底在忙什么,这种关键时刻——”„Do not worry,”Tayfunhas interruptedhiswords, „ youhave also said that the scriptureis the firstPopewrites, unavoidablywill present the mistake, crossed for more than 400years, whocanguarantee that eachmatteris correct?
“不要着急,”泰弗伦打断了他的话,“你自己也说过,圣典是首任教皇撰写的,难免会出现错误,过了400多年,谁能保证每一件事都是正确的?„Howeverthisis different,”Archbishopshakes the head, „, if the timeestimatedmistakenly, touswill be the fieldtotal destruction! Nowweput inlarge quantities ofstrengths and energyare usedto unify the kingdom, foris the strength of volume of mainlandresistsDevil, but the timereduces50%words, wedo not have the meansto savethat manyGod Punishment Armyafter the war!”
“然而这不一样,”大主教摇摇头,“如果时间估错了的话,对我们将会是场灭顶之灾!如今我们投入了大批力量和精力用于统一王国,为的就是集全大陆之力去对抗魔鬼,但时间缩短一半的话,我们根本没办法在战争后积攒那么多神罚军!”„Peaceful, SirMayne,”seniorbishopsmiled, hehot drinks, „factoccurredslowly, the hellfangappearsbeforeus, no oneis ableto change. Perhaps thishastworeasons.”
“安静,梅恩大人,”老主教笑了笑,他缓缓品了口热饮,“事实已经发生,地狱獠牙出现在我们面前,谁也无法改变。但这或许有两个原因。”„Whatreason?”
“什么原因?”„Youdrankmeto sayfirstagain,”hefelt the beardto say.
“你先喝一口我再说,”他摸着胡子道。Maynecarries the cup, seems likecupsheep's milk, bynear, actuallyshare of hardXiangweibreaks in the nose, „what has insideput?”梅恩端起杯子,看起来像是杯羊奶,靠得近了,却有一股辛香味冲入鼻中,“里面放了什么?”„Coltsfoot,”Tayfunturns upwardscorners of the mouth, „, althoughyoucannotdrinkDreamland Waterdirectly, butcomesto selectthiswell, itat leastcanhelpyouease the nervousness, the peacefulinterventionrests the function.”
“冬花,”泰弗伦翘起嘴角,“虽然你不能直接喝梦境水,但来点这个还是不错的,它至少能帮你缓解紧张的情绪,还有安神助睡作用。”Maynedrinks up the sheep's milk, the throattransmits the burningignitionfeeling, althoughsheep's milkhas diluted the stimulation of coltsfootjuicemellow, him but who regardingoftendoes not drinkthistype of drinkssomeare unable to adapt. Coughstwo, hehas wiped the mouth, „isonecup of Dreamland Water, cannotmakemego to sleepat this moment, nowcansay?”梅恩一口将羊奶喝干,喉咙传来火辣辣的灼烧感,虽然羊奶的香醇冲淡了冬花汁的刺激,但对于不常喝这种饮品的他来说仍有些无法适应。咳嗽两声,他擦了擦嘴,“就算是一杯梦境水,也不能让我在此刻入睡,现在可以说了吧?”„A possibilitywas the Popehas made a mistake in writing, regarding an old person, will haveto risefrequentlymuddleheadedly, memorymade mistakes, thisIhave profound understanding.”Tayfunshrugs.
“一种可能是教皇写错了,对于一名老人来说,经常会有头昏脑涨、记忆犯错的时候,这点我深有体会。”泰弗伦耸耸肩。„Is unlikely,”Mayneknits the brows saying that „thisrelates to the Church'slayout and arrangement, evenwas deciding the destiny of human, heis certainly extremely carefulto write downthesecontents. Second?”
“不大可能,”梅恩皱眉道,“这关系到教会的布局和安排,甚至决定着人类的命运,他一定是慎之又慎写下这些内容的。第二点呢?”„Secondsituation is, because ofcertainunknownsituation, causing to have the change.”
“第二种情况便是,因为某些未知的情况,导致一切都发生了变化。”Archbishopwaited for the moment, saw the opposite partynot to continue the meaning, was surprised the different way, „this?”大主教等待了片刻,见对方没有继续说下去的意思,诧异道,“就这样?”„This.”Hisredundantsay/way.
“就这样。”他重复道。„This...... Iswhatjoke, did allhave the change? Because ofsuchreason, all our effortswill cast to the winds! Whyyoucansuperficially--”
“这……是什么玩笑,一切发生了变化?就因为这样的理由,我们所有的努力都将付之流水!为什么你能轻描淡写地——”„SirMayne!”How manydegrees the Tayfunsoundimprovedsuddenly, „whatyouare demanding, can defeat the Devilroadsurely? Thought, only thenyouwantto defendHermes, keeps off the Devilfootstepsbeside the icefield?”
“梅恩大人!”泰弗伦声音忽然提高了几度,“你到底在强求什么,一条必定能击败魔鬼的路吗?还是觉得,只有你才想守住赫尔梅斯,将魔鬼的脚步挡在冰原之外?”„......”Mayneis startled.
“……”梅恩怔住。„Eachfight, everyonehopes that canwin, mayuntil now, cope withFour Great Kingdoms, weare noteachwarmustwin, let alone came from Devil of hell?”Hesaidloudly,„youdid forget the instruction of His Excellency the Pope? Excessivedemandinganddreads the resultto do not have much difference, youmustdo, shouldaccepts the fact, howthenarrives atfinally--step by stepas for the result, is notwecanabout.”
“每一次战斗,谁都希望能赢下来,可迄今为止,就连对付四大王国,我们也不是每战必胜,更何况是来自地狱的魔鬼?”他大声说道,“你忘记教皇冕下的教诲了?过分的强求和畏惧结果并没有多大区别,你要做的,应该是接受事实,然后一步步走到最后——至于结果如何,不是我们能左右的。”Fear...... Finally. Mayneshakesat heart, hesaidright, oneselfindeedare afraid, after being afraidinto the Pope, cannotblock the Devilfootsteps, finallymakeshumanruininownhand.
畏惧……结果。梅恩心里一震,他说的没错,自己的确在害怕,害怕成为教皇后,没能挡住魔鬼的脚步,最终让人类葬送在自己手中。„Ialsooncelikeyou, the Tayfunsoundsuddenlyloweredbefore”, „the Heatherdeathmakesmeunderstand,finallyevery so oftenis unable to forecast. Months of Demonsdoes not have the indicationto be ahead of time, westillbefore the heavy snowfallshas taken over the Wolf Heartcity, arrangeswith the planinsame......

No matterfiveyearsalsogood, tenyears, youmustarrivesteadfastlyfinally, cannotwin the say/wayfor that butcompletelyarrives atownresponsibility, even if the resultis contrary to what expects.”
“我以前也曾像你一样,”泰弗伦的声音忽然低了下来,“不过希瑟的死让我明白,结果很多时候都是无法预测的。邪月毫无征兆地提前,我们依然在大雪落下前攻下了狼心城,就跟计划里安排的一样……但希瑟还是死了,战争方式也发生了改变。即使如此,我们还是得继续走下去,”他起身长出口气,拍拍梅恩的肩膀,向厅外走去,“所以……不管是五年也好,十年也罢,你都得坚定不移地走到最后,不是为了那条必胜之道,而是尽到自己的职责,哪怕结果事与愿违。”
The hallgatehas closed, Mayneis looking at present the emptycup, halfsoundcould not speak.
厅门关上了,梅恩望着眼前空荡荡的杯子,半响说不出话来。Hehas toacknowledge that the opposite partysaidis reasonable, whenmustshoulderthisresponsibilitytruly, howpossiblyto be scared?
他不得不承认对方说得有道理,但真正要肩负起这个责任时,怎么可能不感到害怕?Suddenly, a presiding judgewalkedcome in, „SirMayne, His Excellency the Popewantsto seeyou.”
忽然,一名审判长走了进来,“梅恩大人,教皇冕下想要见你。”Finallycame!
终于来了!Hestands upimmediately, the anxioussay/way, „leadsmeto go toPivotal Secret Areaquickly.”
他顿时站起身来,急切道,“快带我去枢秘区。”
......
……DeeplyhidesinplateauundergroundPivotal Secret Areais as before coldandsilent.
深藏在高原地底的枢秘区依旧寒冷而寂静。Walks into the Pivotal Secret Templemain hall, Mayneis startledslightly, todayhas not arranged the transformedceremony, butcandle in hallwas all lightened, the dense and numerousflamesoutlined an orange yellowwheelprofilefor the hall. The hanging lamp of top of the headlikelyis gatheringgroupstarKingdom of God.
走入枢秘圣殿厅堂,梅恩微微一怔,今天并没有安排转化仪式,但厅中的蜡烛被悉数点亮,密密麻麻的火光为大厅勾勒出了一条橙黄色的轮廓线。头顶的吊灯则像是汇聚着群星的神国。Your Excellency O'Briensitson the throne, calmlyis looking athim.奥伯莱恩冕下就坐在宝座上,静静地望着他。Maynefelt the atmosphere that does not suit, hedepresses the doubts of bottom of heart, before arriving at the seat, both handskisses the groundto kneelto lie, the foreheadtouches the groundlightly.梅恩感到了一丝不对劲的气氛,他压下心底的疑惑,走到座位前,双手伏地跪趴下去,额头轻触地面。„Gets up, child.” The Pope'ssoundis very slight, did not concentrate the attention the wordscoarseto be very clearheto sayanything.
“起来吧,孩子。”教皇的声音十分轻微,不集中注意力的话很难听清楚他在说什么。Mayneis straight the body, seesoldandweariness that in the opposite partyfacial featuresfull cannot suppress, seemed very longhas not rested. „Your Excellency, pleasetake care.”梅恩直起身子,看到对方面容上满是抑制不住的苍老和疲劳,仿佛很久都没有休息过了。“冕下,请注意身体。”„Does not use,”hesmiled, the profoundwrinklecovers entirely the entirecheeksimmediately, „Isoondied.”
“不用了,”他笑了笑,深邃的皱纹顿时布满整个脸颊,“我快要死了。”„Your Excellency, youcannot--”
“冕下,您不会——”„No, listening tome saying that child.”O'Brienhas interrupted the words of bishopstrenuously, „Iknow the condition of ownbody, without a doubt, mypredestined time of death.”Hestops the moment, take a deep breath, „todaycalls the goal that youcome, to the position of inheritancePopegiveyou.”
“不,听我说,孩子。”奥伯莱恩吃力地打断了主教的话,“我知道自己身体的状况,毫无疑问,我大限将至。”他停顿片刻,深吸了口气,“今天叫你来的目的,就是为了将教皇之位传承给你。”
