LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

Near on Border Town southwest wasteland is holding the funeral. 边陲镇西南边的一块荒地上正在举行葬礼。 Said that is wasteland is inappropriate, when does not know, this unmanned land had been built a diminutive fence by the hewn stone, the wall skull the thick snow, is seeming, as if has covered near silver. Although a foot can step the past, but sees it, Van'er always unrestrainedly associates to have border city wall-- they are the similar color, similar modeling. 说是荒地也不合适,不知什么时候,这块无人问津的土地已被毛石垒出了一圈矮小的围墙,墙头盖着厚厚的积雪,远看上去,仿佛镀上了一层银边。虽说一脚就能跨过去,但看到它,凡纳总是情不自禁地联想起边境城墙——它们都是同样的颜色,同样的造型。 He has only heard this ceremony in the commerical traveller mouth, when some big noble or the royal family member passed away, the family member of deceased will then concentrate to arrive at the tomb, plays sad music, accepts other people to mourn, finally buries the coffin underground. Is the status is nobler, the momentum is vaster. 他只在旅行商人口中听说过这种仪式,当某个大贵族或王室成员逝世时,逝者的家人便会集中到墓地,奏起悲乐,接受他人悼念,最后将棺材埋入地下。越是身份高贵,声势就越浩大。 Including the deceased people compared with live person scenery, he envy at that time thinks, what to do the Border Town's person did die? Went to Hidden Forest to dig a pit to fill. When does not know the Months of Demons arrival, does Evil Beast have digging to eat the corpse. 连死人都要比活人风光,他当时羡慕地想,边陲镇的人死了怎么办？去迷藏森林边挖个坑填了。也不知道邪魔之月到来时,邪兽有没有把尸体给刨出来吃掉。 The death regarding the Border Town's resident, was not strange. Especially in the winter of every year goes to Longsong Stronghold to seek asylum, everybody shrinks the volume in the shack in slum, dies is hungry and severely cold, dies of the disease and grief, that is the habit. Everyone has no free time sadly, has this time might as well to wait dawn to go to the city center to ask for the block bread. 死亡对于边陲镇的居民来说,一点儿也不陌生。特别是每年冬天前往长歌要塞避难,大家缩卷在贫民窟的窝棚里,死于饥饿和严寒,死于疾病和伤痛,那都是常态。谁也没空去悲伤,有这功夫还不如等天亮去城中心多讨块面包。 But today, your highness must be unexpectedly a soldier holds the funeral! 但今天,殿下居然要为一名士兵举行葬礼！ Heard that he when pursuing Evil Beast Hybrid(s) was knocked down unfortunately, and gnawed off half head. 听说他在追击混合种邪兽时不幸被扑倒在地,并被咬掉了半个脑袋。 Van'er knew that this bad luck fellow, he also calculates that the old face of old estate, does not have the name, everybody called his Hadji. He has wives and two children, big as if six years old, the small talent just can walk. 凡纳认识这个倒霉的家伙,他也算旧区的老面孔,没有名字,大家都叫他阿吉。他有一个老婆和两个孩子,大的似乎六岁,小的才刚刚能走路。 If usually, this family/home affirmed, female can seek a man to earn a living again, who can be willing to take two children in such an arrangement? Wants not to throw the roadside these two little fellows, making them run its own course, or is raising, oneself go to the bar to solicit the body business, finally dies of various strange illness. 若是平时,这个家肯定完了,女的可以再寻个男人过活,但谁会愿意带上两个拖油瓶呢？要不把这两个小家伙丢到路边,让他们自生自灭,要不就养着,自己去酒吧招揽皮肉生意,最后死于各种稀奇古怪的病症。 But His Highness the Prince as if really plans to cash him when recruiting militia the commitment, not only dying in battle can receive the complete salary, an extra compensation, what calling to come this? Van'er thinks,...... Right, pension. Moreover this sum of money has five gold royal unexpectedly. 但王子殿下似乎真的打算兑现他在招募民兵时的承诺,战死者不仅能领到全部薪酬,还有一笔额外的补偿,叫什么来这？凡纳想了想,啊……对了,抚恤金。而且这笔钱居然有五枚金龙之多。 In addition, every month will also provide quota food and charcoal, this means that Hadji wife, even if not exit to work, can raise two children to go on living. Good, these look like the happy view are very possible are only the words of comfort, but gold royal is. He sees with one's own eyes His Highness the Prince to hand over in the Chief Knight big person hand the pension, transmits by Sir Knight to Hadji wife again. 除此之外,每个月还会发放定量的食物和木炭,这意味着,阿吉老婆即使不出去干活,也能养着两个孩子活下去。好吧,这些看起来美好的说法很可能只是安慰之词,但金龙可是实实在在的。他亲眼看到王子殿下将抚恤金交到首席骑士大人手中,再由骑士大人转交给阿吉老婆。 Damn, he suddenly thought that a little envied Hadji? No, no, Van'er shakes the head again and again, pursues these stupid ideas, he did not want dead to finish cheaply the wife...... Moreover likely can also be others' wife. 见鬼,他怎么突然觉得有点羡慕起阿吉了？不,不,凡纳连连摇头,将这些愚蠢想法驱逐出去,他才不要自己死了却便宜了老婆……而且很可能还会是别人的老婆。 After sending money , is your highness gives a speech, is very short, but Van'er perceived. Especially that " to protect the sacrifice of family member and innocent person, we will always remember forever " , making him feel that in the heart has a heat flow to surge. Originally is this, he thinks, not no wonder recently except for the bread and silver royal, oneself always thought other pursue-- at least in the winter of this year, they can live, what dependence is own both hands, but is not the bestowment of Longsong Stronghold. 发完钱后便是殿下致辞,很短,但凡纳都听进去了。特别是那句「为保护亲人和无辜者的牺牲,我们将永远铭记」,让他觉得心中有股热流在涌动。原来是这样,他想,不难怪最近除了面包和银狼,自己总觉得多了些别的追求——至少在今年冬天,他们能活下来,依靠的是自己的双手,而不是长歌要塞的施舍。 The final link buries. Hadji's coffin put to dig in the good earth pit, Chief Knight makes everybody line up, each militia member, what is official is the substitution, in turn goes forward to fill in mere handful of soil with the shovel. Regarding lining up, everybody is familiar, more than 200 person immediately the platoon becomes four garrisons. When is one's turn Van'er, he thought suddenly the shovel becomes somewhat is slightly heavy, the gaze of surroundings member made each movement slow down. 最后的环节是下葬。阿吉的棺材被放入挖好的土坑中,首席骑士让大家排好队,每一位民兵队员,无论是正式的还是替补的,都轮流上前用铲子填上一撮土。对于排队,大家再熟悉不过,200多号人立刻排成四条纵队。当轮到凡纳时,他忽然觉得铲子变得略微有些沉重,周围队员的注视令他每一个动作都放慢下来。 When he stands the one side, the vision has passed to next filling in this feeling. 当他站到一旁时,目光又将这种感觉传给了下一位覆土者。 Hadji's tombstone is the pure white rectangular stone, above character Van'er did not know, moreover he is not first is admitted to this piece of wasteland person. By Hadji, a exactly the same stele, the peak is covering the snow. When everybody successively leaves, Van'er sees new Captain Brian of second militia team, drenches pot ale slowly on that tombstone. 阿吉的墓碑是块纯白色的长方形石头,上面的字凡纳一个都不认识,而且他也不是第一个住进这片荒地的人。在阿吉旁边,还有块一模一样的石碑,顶端覆盖着积雪。在大家陆续离开时,凡纳看到第二民兵队的新任队长布莱恩,将一壶麦酒缓缓淋在那块墓碑上。 If here is the final home to return, looks like does not go bad, he thinks. 如果这里就是自己最后的归宿,看起来也不坏,他不禁想。 „Your highness,” on returning to the road in castle, Carter opens the mouth to say suddenly, „you such do......” “殿下,”在返回城堡的路上,卡特忽然开口道,“您这么做……” „Improper?” “不妥？” „No,” he thinks, shakes the head finally, „I cannot say, but thought, no person treats recruiting citizen-- they already not to have the title like this, does not have the family background, even does not have including the surname and name.” “不,”他想了想,终是摇摇头,“我说不上来,只是觉得,从来没有人这样对待过征召的领民——他们既没有爵位,也没有家世,甚至连姓氏和名字都没有。” „But you still felt well, right?” “但你仍感觉不错,对吗？” „......” “呃……” Roland smiled, he knows certainly that this set to takes fighting and protection similarly will have how intense power as Carter of own duty. When the people start to ponder for whom are we fighting, but why the wartime, the team will then have the change that is hard to imagine. But regarding the Carter significance is, when the honor no longer solely is the noble privilege, common people who these do not have a thing in the world through his training and guidance, when can obtain the honor by the security homeland, this turning time of sense of achievement is simply indescribable. 罗兰笑了笑,他当然知道这一套对同样是以战斗和保护为己任的卡特来说会有多么强烈的感染力。当人们开始思考为谁而战,为何而战时,队伍便会产生难以想象的变化。而对于卡特的意义是,当荣誉不再单单是贵族的特权,那些一无所有的平民百姓通过他的训练和教导,也能靠保卫家园获得荣誉时,这种翻倍的成就感简直难以言喻。 Naturally, the public funeral is only a opening, Roland thinks merely, some of his also many methods can be used to promote the collective honor feeling, such as formulates the colors and military song, sets the Hero example wait/etc.. 当然,公开葬礼仅仅只是一个开头,罗兰想,他还有许多手段可以用来提升集体荣誉感,如制定军旗、军歌,树立英雄榜样等等。 One spirit is not fabricated, only then this set of procedure day after day insists, frequently instills into the idea, gradually will play the result. In order to guarantee damage control system reliable operation, he has even arranged one by himself, City Hall, militia team tripartite the damage control group of person, completes the following grain and charcoal provides to arrive. 没有一种精神是无中生有的,只有将这套做法日复一日的坚持下去,时时刻刻灌输理念,才会逐渐起到成效。为了保证善后制度可靠运行,他甚至安排了一个由自己、市政厅、民兵队三方出人的善后小组,去完成后续粮食和木炭发放到位。 more downward walks, Roland then more thought that the shoulder is heavy. Border Town is short are too really many, seems like the mining industry and livelihood of the people have taken the stock rail, the grain reserves are sufficient, so far has not starved to death situation that or has frozen to death. This looks like in other cities is a miracle, Greycastle Kingdom Capital, every year will have many refugees or the orphans is eliminated by the winter. 越往下走,罗兰便越觉得肩头沉重。边陲镇所欠缺的实在太多,看似矿业和民生都已走上正轨,粮食储备充足,到目前为止还未饿死或冻死的情况。这在别的城镇看来已是一个奇迹,就连灰堡王都,每年都会有许多流民或孤儿被冬天淘汰。 But he wants more than so, the operating load of City Hall reached the limit. Closes right up against that several apprentices who Assistant Minister Barov and he brings, has haunched the Border Town's complete finance and administration. Wants to further expand the department again, does not recruit some administrative personnel to come is not good. He once had also inquired Barov, had still kept the Kingdom Capital favorite disciple or the colleague, the answer that obtained was actually one scoop of cold water: „Has them not to be willing to come. Your highness you clear do have the difference in the Kingdom Capital reputation really?” 但他想要的远不止如此,市政厅的运转负荷已到了极限。靠着大臣助理巴罗夫和他带来的那十几名学徒,撑起了边陲镇的全部财务和行政管理。想要再进一步扩充部门,不招些管理人员来是不行了。他也曾询问过巴罗夫,有没有仍留在王都的得意门生或同事,得到的答复却是一瓢冷水:“就算有他们也不会愿意来。殿下您真的清楚自己在王都的名声多有么差吗？” Good, sounds is very really reasonable. He thinks depressed. 好吧,听起来确实很有道理。他郁闷地想。 Returned to the castle backyard, Nightingale to leave from dense fog, gives has stood a Wendy warm hug that waited for outside the wooden shed. Lightning gathers round the steam boring lathe that has not completed to spin, sees Roland, she shouts immediately must assemble the machine that this hearsay can move voluntarily together. 回到城堡后院,夜莺从迷雾中脱出,给了站在木棚外等待的温蒂一个热情的拥抱。闪电则围着那台未完成的蒸汽镗床打转,见到罗兰,她立刻嚷嚷着要一起组装这台传闻能自行活动的机器。 Looks at all these, he thought suddenly, the effort that oneself make, is worth. 看着这一切,他忽然觉得,自己所付出的努力,都是值得的。
