……Lightningflies into the castleoffice, the vertical aspect of lastsnowy mountainwill hand overin the Rolandhand.闪电飞进城堡办公室,将最后一副雪山的俯瞰图交到罗兰手中。„Was laborious,”Rolandtouches the head of little girl, „whathasnewlyto discover?”
“辛苦了,”罗兰摸了摸小姑娘的脑袋,“有什么新发现吗?”„Except for the snowor the snow,”sheenjoycloses the eye, „, let aloneDevilandEvil Beast, even/includingbig a pointanimalcould not see.”
“除了雪还是雪,”她享受般地闭上眼睛,“别说魔鬼和邪兽了,连大一点的动物都看不到。”„Yes...... It seems likewasIwantsto be many,”Rolandput out the beforehandblueprint, from the beginninglooked at--, althoughthesevertical aspectsdrewin the schematic diagramform, did not haveSoraya„picture”like thatexquisitereal, butat least can also see the entiresnowy mountain the complete picture.
“是么……看来是我想多了,”罗兰拿出之前的图纸,从头看了一遍——虽然这些俯瞰图只是以草图形式绘出,远没有索罗娅的“照片”那般细腻真实,但至少也能看出整个雪山的全貌。Itsmountain massifis very huge, highlyapproximately more than 4000meters, standon the summitcan the clearseeingsea of clouds. Peaklike thatsteepsharp, buttogether the extremelyspaciousflat land that is notheexpects, the middleslightlyinferior fovea, just like a giantcrater. Undercutspartfrozenice lakefills up, the entirelake surfaceis similar totogether the puremirror. Under according toLightning, by the thickice layer, shecansee the running water that flows.
它的山体十分庞大,高度约4000多米,站在山顶上能清晰的看到云海。峰头并非他预想的那般陡峭尖锐,而是一块极为空旷的平地,中间微微下凹,犹如一个巨大的火山口。只是下陷部分被冻结的冰湖填满,整个湖面如同一块洁净的镜子。据闪电说,透过厚厚的冰层,她能看到底下流淌的活水。„Youthought that whaton the mountain peakhas?”
“您觉得山峰上有什么?”„ruins, Blackstone Towerandcities...... Hasanythingnot to be strange,”Rolandsaid with a smile, „baresurprisedpeople.”Heaims at the blueprint that drawsnewly, „does the Scarlet Water Riversourcecome fromhere?”
“遗迹、黑石塔、城镇……有什么都不奇怪,”罗兰笑道,“光秃秃的才让人意外。”他指向新绘的图纸,“赤水河的源头就来自这里?”„Yeah,”Lightninglooked atone, „incloud layer, if not hear the underwater/splashing sound, Iwill not note. On the mountain massifhasmanyopenings, someopeningsare much bigger, are only the widthhave200-300meters, when approaches the sound that the water currentcrashescanwithplace on a parthunderously.”
“嗯,”闪电偏头瞄了一眼,“就在云层之中,如果不是听到哗哗的水声,我都不会注意到。山体上有许多裂口,有些口子大得惊人,光是宽度就有两三百米,靠近时水流坠落的声音都可以和雷鸣相提并论了。”„Haven't youattemptedto worm one's way into?”
“你没有尝试钻进去吧?”„......”
“呃……”„To be honest.”
“说实话。”„Hadto try, butcannotsucceed,”little girlhonk the mouthsaid,„openingwasenoughbig, eventolerated the second halfcastlehighly, the mist that but the turbulent currentbroughtwas too thick, anythingcould not see, moreoverwas mixing with the gale, Iwas pushedquickly.”
“有试了下,但没能成功,”小姑娘嘟嘴道,“裂口是足够大了,高度甚至能容下半个城堡,但激流带起的水雾太浓密,什么都看不到,而且还夹杂着强风,我很快就被推了出来。”„Laterdid not permitto do such dangerousmatteragain,”Rolandstared saying that „stillremembersyouhave complied withmywords?”
“以后不准再做这么危险的事了,”罗兰瞪眼道,“还记得你答应过我的话么?”„Anyexplorationmustapplytoyou, under”Lightningdroops the head.
“任何探险必须向您申请,”闪电耷拉下脑袋。„Right, thisexercisepenaltyhas exempted, looksMacyto play.”
“没错,这次的习题惩罚就免了,去找麦茜玩吧。”„...... Thatsnowy mountain?”
“诶……那雪山呢?”„Temporarilycomes to the end,”hefoldsallvertical aspects, puts in the drawer, „in-depth explorationand otherSilviecame backto sayagain,thenImustput the attentionwith the Church'swar.”
“暂时告一段落,”他把所有俯瞰图叠好,放入抽屉中,“深入探索等希尔维回来再说,接下来我得把注意力放到同教会的战争上了。”„Good,”Lightningnods, flewfrom the window.
“好吧,”闪电点点头,从窗口飞了出去。„How do yousee?”Rolandlookstobehind.
“你怎么看?”罗兰望向身后。„I here, Your Majesty,”Nightingaleappear the figurefrom the desk, sits cross-leggedto sit, „onsnowy mountain the cold weather, will no onechooseinthatdamned placeestablishescamp?”
“我在这儿呢,陛下,”夜莺从办公桌上现出身形,盘腿而坐,“雪山上天寒地冻的,谁都不会选择在那种鬼地方建立营地吧?”Becausehas taken off the shoes, when heturns headcould not bearlooked attwothatpairsby the foot that the whitecotton sockswrapped, „coughed...... Thereforeyoualsothought,greatmouthEvil Beastdoes hidein the snowy mountain?”
由于脱去了鞋子,他回头时忍不住多看了两眼那双被白棉袜包裹的脚丫,“咳……所以你也觉得,巨嘴邪兽藏在雪山内部?”„I thought that iftheysuchare good atto dig, builds the lairnot to haveanythingto be difficultin the mountain massif, moreover......”Nightingalelooks the color/look of hesitant.
“我只是觉得,如果它们这么善长打洞的话,在山体里建立巢穴也没什么难的,而且……”夜莺面露迟疑之色。„Andwhat?”
“而且什么?”„Can theseholes in Impassable Mountains, be also relatedwiththem?”
“绝境群山里的那些孔洞,会不会也和它们有关?”
......
……To the evening, in the Rolandbrainwas still recalling the words that Nightingalespoke, no matter what, thatalso is really an appallingguess.
一直到晚上,罗兰脑中仍回想着夜莺说的话,不管怎么说,那还真是一个令人毛骨悚然的猜测。Iftheyare ubiquitous, was not strandedby the naturalnatural defenses, how can oneselfbe ableto exterminatethiscrowd of fearfulmonsters?
倘若它们无处不在,不受自然天险所困,自己要如何才能剿灭这群可怕的怪物?Whatanotherpointmakeshimpuzzle, sincegreatmouthEvil Beastcanarrive in the Land of the Dawnperipheral zone, thenonFertile Plainshould have the trace that theymove, hasn't Federationactuallystayed why behindanyabouttheirrecords?
另一点让他迷惑不解的是,既然巨嘴邪兽能抵达曙光境的边缘地带,那么沃土平原上应该也有它们活动的痕迹,为何联合会却没有留下任何关于它们的记载?What a pity the presentsituationhas not allowedhimto exploreagainmuch, only thendefeatsChurchthoroughly, Neverwinter Cityhavingin the future.
可惜现在的局势已不容他再多做探索,只有彻底击败教会,无冬城才有未来可言。Afteronemonth of transportation, heprovidedabout4000soldierstoNorthern Lands, as well ascorrespondingarmamentandgrain and fodder. The information that feeds inaccording to the front, the field operationdefense lineis being unearthedaccording to the plansmoothly, line of communication of Cold Wind Ridgetokingdominlandalsocompletelyshut offbyFirst Army. The quicklastgroup of soldierswill soon start, buthewill also accompany the armed forcesto go tonorthern region, directsthisnot to allow the war of failure.
经过一个多月的运输,他已经向北地输送了近4000名士兵,以及相应的军备和粮草。根据前方传回的情报,野战防线正在按计划顺利挖掘中,寒风岭通往王国内陆的交通线也全部被第一军切断。很快最后一批士兵即将启程,而他也会随军前往北境,指挥这场绝不容许失败的战争。At this moment, the gate of bedroomwas sounded.
就在这时,卧室的门被敲响了。Rolandopens the door, discoveredoutsideis standingAnna.罗兰打开房门,发现外面站着的正是安娜。„The Wendygoing to battlelistIhave looked, abovedoes not havemyname,”sheentersin the room, in the tranquilfacial featurescannot see a mood, „this pointpleaseI should not be ableto accept, Your Majesty.”
“温蒂的出征名单我看过了,上面没有我的名字,”她走进屋内,平静的面容上看不出一丝情绪,“这一点请恕我无法接受,陛下。”Ifsheablaze with angerlooks for herselfto trouble, what to doRolandalsoknows should, but the Annapresentfacial expressionmadehimfeel a fear, resembledherto makesomedecision, even iflife and deathno longercritical--, sincesavedafter the jailher, healsoneversawAnnato revealsuchappearancein front ofhimself.
如果她是怒气冲冲地来找自己麻烦,罗兰还知道该怎么办,但安娜现在的神情却让他感到了一丝害怕,就好像她已经做出了某个决定,哪怕生死都不再紧要——自从把她从监牢里救出来后,他还从未见过安娜在自己面前露出这样的模样。Rolanddrawsherto the bedsidesits down, after silentgood, opens the mouth saying: „Iknowyouridea, but the military production of border regionareacannot leaveyou, the heavy machine guncomponentsor the artilleryblasting fuse, needyouto process...... Butthistosuccessfullytoclosingimportant.”罗兰将她拉到床边坐下,沉默了好一阵后才开口道:“我知道你的想法,但边陲区的军工生产离不开你,无论是重机枪零件还是榴弹炮引信,都需要你来加工……而这对胜利至关重要。”„Notbecause offrontlinedanger?”
“不是因为前线危险?”„FightswithChurchhas certainlycertainrisk, butwewill certainly win, thereforeyoudo not needextremelyto be worried...... KeepsNeverwinter Cityis a more appropriatechoice.”
“与教会战斗当然有一定的危险性,不过我们一定会获得胜利,所以你不用太过担心……留在无冬城才是更加妥当的选择。”Hehas not persuadedAnnafrom the angle of warsafety, because the facial expression of opposite partyhas clarifiedhermanner, only thenchanges into a higherlevel the reason, for examplewithrelating to the production of warresulturgedherto stay behind, canplay the effecttoeverythingearnestveryher.
他没有从战争安危的角度去劝说安娜,因为对方的神情已摆明了她的态度,只有换成更高层次的理由,例如用关系到战争胜负的生产来劝她留下,才能对凡事都十分认真的她起到效果。„Such being the case, Iam also samein the Quiet Valley Townproduction,”, howeverAnnaremains unmoved, „Northern Landswins the ironandbronze medalto deliversimilarly, MissEdithdefinitelynotparsimoniousthisore. Luciais also willingto accompanymeto gotogether, finingis not a problem. Moreoverfrom the transportation, the shipsneedsto ship the completearms, nowtheyonlywithtransportingsomecomponents, complete the assemblyinNorthern Landsthen, the efficiencywill be instead higher.”Heransweris methodical, obviouslycomes prepared.
“既然如此,我在幽谷镇生产也一样,”然而安娜不为所动,“北地同样有铁、铜产出,伊蒂丝小姐肯定不会吝啬这点矿石。露西亚亦愿意陪我一同前往,精炼方面不成问题。另外从运输上来说,船只原本需要运送完整的枪炮,现在他们只用搬运部分零件,在北地完成组装即可,效率反而会更高。”她的回答有条不紊,显然是有备而来。„This......”Rolandis at a loss for wordsfor a while.
“这……”罗兰一时语塞。„Your Majesty, Icannotacceptatthis kind of timeseparatewithyou,”shestretches outboth hands, holdshischeeks saying that „thiswas different from the pasttemporary separation. You are actually clearer than anyone, with the Church'swarwill be the biggestchallenge that youwill face, will not beHoly City of Hermesis destroyed, will beFirst Armysuffers a defeat and flees. Iwill never avoidanything, will not deceive itself, ifyoulost, perhapsforeverwill leavemeto go, ifItreatinNeverwinter City, eventakes2-3monthslatercanknowthisnews...... Ido not wantin the sufferingto wait forfinally the solongtime, obtainsactuallybids farewell.”
“陛下,我不能接受在这种时候和你分离,”她伸出双手,捧住他的脸颊说道,“这和过去的暂别都不一样。你心里其实比谁都清楚,与教会的战争将是你面临的最大一场挑战,不是赫尔梅斯圣城被毁灭,就是第一军败亡。我从来不会回避什么,更不会欺骗自己,如果你输了,说不定会永远离我而去,而如果我待在无冬城,甚至要两三个月后才能知晓这个消息……我不想在煎熬中等待如此漫长的时间,最后得到的却是诀别。”
