Tucker Thor mounts the new Holy City thick city wall, before arriving at the motley wall pile, slowly. 塔克.托尔登上新圣城厚实的城墙,缓缓走到斑驳的墙垛前。 After this probably is the stronghold city establishes, tranquilest Months of Demons that passed. 这大概是要塞城池建立之后,所度过的最为宁静的一个邪魔之月。 In order to resist the Evil Beast's attack, in those days, regardless of the snow gets down in a big way, some people will carry on the cleaning and deicing, therefore the city wall is always maintaining its unique bluish gray color, appears especially striking under the white background. But now, he has actually left a series of footprints in the smooth snow. 为了抵御邪兽的攻击,往日里无论雪下得多大,都会有人进行清扫和除冰,因此城墙总是保持着它特有的青灰色,在白茫茫的背景下显得格外醒目。但现在,他却在平坦的积雪中留下了一连串脚印。 Not bumpy stone slab road surface, has not plunged the stained bloodstain in slit, all the traces of fight were buried by the snowflake, as if all have not occurred, this before absolutely was the inconceivable scene. 没有坑坑洼洼的石板路面,也没有浸入缝隙中的斑斑血渍,所有战斗的痕迹都被雪花掩埋起来,仿佛一切都没有发生过,这在以前绝对是不可思议的景象。 The drastic change that but recently had are too really many, this inconceivable has not made one care. 只不过最近发生的剧变实在太多,以至于这份不可思议也没有那么令人在意了。 Thinks that Holy City of Hermes will be trod as the flat land before the Evil Beast tide of coming in swarms, all believers have been ready with cathedral altogether life or death, has not actually expected to present the enemy in snowfield is few, even climbs up the meaning of city wall not to have continually. 原以为赫尔梅斯圣城会在蜂拥而至的邪兽浪潮前被踏为平地,所有教徒都做好了与大教堂共存亡的准备,却没料到出现在雪原中的敌人寥寥无几,甚至连攀上城墙的意思都没有。 Everybody has not celebrated with enough time, gods had then demonstrated in brutal the extremely way it is variable. 大家还没来得及庆祝,神明便以极为残酷的方式显示了它无常。 Because went on a punitive expedition against Greycastle to consume Church too many strengths, after beginning of winter , their priority then selected three Archbishop, as well as corresponding high-level personnel. In order to stabilize the Holy City order, simultaneously redeems follower's confidence to the gods, teaches the numerous to become the backbone much young, he also because of the status of former presiding judge, became one of the temporarily substituting for bishops. 由于征伐灰堡消耗了教会太多的力量,以至于入冬后他们的首要任务便是重新选出三大主教,以及相应的高层人员。为了稳定圣城的秩序,同时重新挽回信徒对神明的信心,不少年轻的教众一跃成为骨干,他也因为原审判长的身份,成为了暂代主教之一。 However in situation has slightly changes for the better, the cathedral in a calm night suddenly collapses, a numerous high level is falling into the underground gulf, grinds all people the feelings of avoided a catastrophe instantaneously crushes. But because he exactly inspects camp, has stayed out from this disaster by luck. 然而就在情况稍有好转之际,大教堂在一个无风的夜晚突然垮塌,连带着一众高层落入地底深坑,瞬间将所有人的劫后余生之感碾得粉碎。而他恰好因为巡视营地,侥幸躲过了此次灾难。 No one knows how it occurred, although before , once heard the church underground core region to have the fire, had been invaded by Evil Beast, but does not have Pope's to permit, they are unable to enter Pivotal Secret Institution arbitrarily, even if acting Pope Sir Tayfun is also missingly same. 谁也不知道它是如何发生的,尽管之前就曾听闻教堂地下的核心区域发生过大火,又被邪兽入侵过,但没有教皇的允许,他们无法擅自进入枢秘机关,即使代理教皇泰弗伦大人下落不明也一样。 It can be said that the collapse of Hermes cathedral affects to Church's even also wants the serious-- army failure to be compared with the army disastrous defeat the reason of direction, can put the blame on the enemy is deceitful, but represents Tower of Babel of unyielding will is actually being the symbol of Church spirit, its tilting was equal to gods has gotten rid of Church. 可以说,赫尔梅斯大教堂的倒塌对教会的影响甚至比大军惨败还要严重——军队失败可以是指挥的原因,也可以归咎于敌人过于狡诈,但代表着不屈意志的通天塔却是教会精神的象征,它的倾覆相当于神明已经抛弃了教会。 Fluctuates in the will of the people, under situation situation in imminent danger presents such an accident, almost became has crushed the horses the last straw, even if he first cleared the scene also not to help matters. The Holy City resident starts to flee Hermes, first is some small beliefs is not that firm craftsmen and surrounding merchant, is the outer city area, in the city...... Fear evil epidemic disease spreads likely generally, does not have the antidote that the God bestows to contain. 在人心浮动,局势岌岌可危的情况下出现这么一个变故,几乎成了压倒马匹的最后一根稻草,哪怕他第一时间封锁了现场亦无济于事。圣城的居民开始逃离赫尔梅斯,先是小部分信仰不是那么坚定的匠人和外围商人,接着是外城区、内城区……恐惧像邪疫一般蔓延,却没有神赐的解药能够遏制。 He once organized all Judgement Army and God's Officer, was held a reverent pray in the city wall, hoping gods can gaze at this human final fortress once more, do not let behind myriad lives by the evil hell strength absorb, however cannot get any response throughout. 他曾组织起所有的审判军和神官,在城墙上举行了一场虔诚的祈祷,希望神明能够再次注视这座人类最后的堡垒,不要让身后万千生灵被邪恶的地狱力量所吞没,然而始终没能得到任何回应。 Tucker Thor still remembers that Pope Mayne instruction-- wants to resist evil, can depend upon only has the formidable strength, but besides prayed to the God, he could not find out other methods the belief that prevented to be defeated and dispersed. 塔克.托尔还记得教皇梅恩的教诲——想要对抗邪恶,能依靠的唯有强大的实力,可除了向神祈祷外,他已想不出其他方法来阻止溃散的信仰了。 „Bishop Sir...... Originally you here,” behind resound a voice of female suddenly, „pursued the refugees army to come back, but......” “主教大人……原来您在这里,”背后忽然响起一名女子的声音,“追击逃民的部队都回来了,不过……” „Several have dispersed, right?” He has turned round, said in a soft voice. “有几支已经散了,对吧？”他回过身,轻声说道。 The Judgement Army direction that report now fortunately survives, replaces oneself duty Farina. On her face, Tucker saw several points of familiar shadow, thinks, recalls that the advance camp warrior who is Church devotes, Alicia-- as unusual female Judgement Warrior, they have the similarly firm and resolute disposition, in the teammate casualty more than half, Evil Beast approaches to the cathedral fence near can still persist in battling \; When Church crumbling, received has directed the Judgement Army heavy burden, and bureau of collapse will maintain at the controllable edge strongly. 汇报者正是如今幸存的审判军指挥,接替自己任务的法琳娜。在她的脸上,塔克看到了几分熟悉的影子,想了想,才回忆起那个为教会献身的先遣营武士,艾蕾希亚——作为少有的女性审判武士,她们都有着同样坚毅的性格,一个在队友死伤过半、邪兽逼近到大教堂围墙边时仍能坚持作战\;一个在教会摇摇欲坠之际,一手接过了指挥审判军的重担,并将崩溃之局竭力维持在可控边缘。 „Yes,” Farina stamped the feet annoyedly, „when that crowd of temporary joining recruit cannot apply, exits also more than 20 people, comes back how, only then 1-2-- again are negligent in the training, impossible was killed by refugees. If made me find them, certainly called these traitor to be attractive!” “是,”法琳娜恼火地跺了跺脚,“那群临时加入的新兵根本派不上用场,出去时还有20多人,回来的只有一两个——就算再怎么疏于训练,也不可能是被逃民杀了。如果让我找到他们,一定叫这些叛徒好看！” „Unavoidably the matter,” Tucker sighed, „some Judgement Army also how many people who kept?” “难免之事,”塔克叹了口气,“留下来的审判军还有多少人？” „564 people, defend in the Holy City inner wall important pass now, should be able to stop fleeing of inner city resident.” “564人,现在都守在圣城内墙关口,应该能制止内城居民的逃离。” In addition had not been pressed hundred God Punishment Army in church ruins, this is also Church other final elite...... He is clear, has not blocked possibly the attack of Devil depending on this person, the destruction of human has been a foregone conclusion. 加上没有被压在教堂废墟中的百来名神罚军,这也是教会所余下的最后精锐了……他心里清楚,光凭这点人已没可能挡住魔鬼的进攻,人类的覆灭已成定局。 About this extremely formidable enemy, he once had the understanding from the Your Excellency Mayne mouth. All effort that Church makes, for preserve human when the War of Judgement Day arrival, enabling the fire of extension to be insufficient to extinguish, therefore had the God Punishment Army such formidable warrior. May merely be so also insufficient, before this war arrives, Church must series Four Great Kingdoms, conform with hopefully to win the strength of entire human race. 关于这个极为强大的敌人,他曾从梅恩冕下口中有过了解。教会所做的一切努力,都是为了在末日之战到来时保全人类,使得延续之火不至于熄灭,因此才有了神罚军这样强大的武士。可仅仅是如此还不够,在这场大战降临前,教会必须一统四大王国,将全人类的力量整合起来才有希望获胜。 Since hopes not to exist now, what everybody also does persevere the significance in this plateau stronghold is? 既然如今希望已不复存在,大家还坚守在这座高原要塞中的意义是什么？ Then he can do truly is not much left, but regarding more than 500 people, perhaps is an extrication. 接下来他能做的确实所剩无几,不过对于这500多人来说,或许是一种解脱。 „East side goes,” Tucker opens the mouth saying that „goes to Eternal Winter or Wolf Heart, approaches a seacoast point as far as possible, we can construct new Holy City there.” “去东边吧,”塔克开口道,“无论是去永冬还是狼心,尽可能靠近海岸一点,我们可以在那里建设新圣城。” Like this even if Devil captures Four Great Kingdoms, you can also take a passage from the harbor run away are good to farther place-- luck, can before the human destruction, pass this life safely. 这样即使魔鬼攻入四大王国,你们也能从港口搭船逃向更远的地方——运气好的话,可以在人类覆灭之前,安然度过这一生。 „Leaves Hermes?” Farina was shocked, „, but Sir...... We walked words, who resists Evil Beast?” “离开赫尔梅斯？”法琳娜愣住了,“可是大人……我们走了的话,谁来抵御邪兽？” „If Evil Beast enters the mainland center from the big opening, that is also the crime that Greycastle commits. The Church's urgent matter was preserves the strength, cathedral does not have also been able to reconstruct, but the follower could not withstand the loss, when Evil Beast ran rampant in Four Great Kingdoms, the people once more will recall to mind our strengths.” “如果邪兽从大豁口进入大陆腹地的话,那也是灰堡所犯下的罪行。教会的当务之急是保存力量,大教堂没了还可以重建,但信徒经不起损耗,等到邪兽在四大王国泛滥成灾,人们才会再次记起我们的力量。” Evil Beast anything radically immaterial, they are not the genuine enemies, the fatal threat came from the hell deep place, but you are helpless. I can do finally, then as far as possible makes you be far away from battlefield-- to protect human, you have done suffice many. 邪兽什么的根本无关紧要,它们并非真正的敌人,致命的威胁来自于地狱深处,而你们对此无能为力。我最后能做的,便是尽可能让你们远离战场——为了保护人类,你们已经做得够多的了。 Farina wrinkles to embroider the eyebrow saying that „determination remains here hopes with Holy City altogether life or death irreverence, they will perhaps not comply to discard Hermes.” 法琳娜皱起绣眉道,“决心留在这里的都是愿与圣城共存亡的虔诚者,他们恐怕不会答应舍弃赫尔梅斯。” The place that „you are is Holy City, the child. They will comply, so long as you persuaded well.” Tucker makes the stop slightly, „, moreover this is also agent Pope's orders-- to preserve oneself , to continue Church, understood?” “你们所在的地方就是圣城,孩子。他们会答应的,只要你好好劝说。”塔克稍作停顿,“而且这也是代理教皇的命令——保存自身,延续教会,明白了吗？” Can walk many are many, refugees will spread quickly these news, perhaps by that time, King of Greycastle must be ready to make trouble. 能走多少是多少,逃民很快会将这些消息传播出去,到那时,灰堡之王恐怕又要蠢蠢欲动了。 „I knew, Sir...... No, Your Excellency.” Farina bites the lip, finally makes a fist in the chest, bends the waist to salute to say. “我知道了,大人……不,冕下。”法琳娜咬了咬嘴唇,最后还是握拳在胸,弯腰行礼道。 At this moment, the dusky sky are suddenly many have wiped pale yellow, he has turned around, saw only in the cloud layer to split open slits, the orange-red setting sun was revealing the form slowly, will say that a multi-colored sunlight went to the pure white snowfield. 就在这时,灰蒙蒙的天空忽然多了一抹昏黄,他转过身去,只见云层中绽开了一条条缝隙,橙红的夕阳正缓缓露出身影,将道道霞光投向洁白的雪原。 „This is...... Did Months of Demons finish?” Farina reveals a happy expression. “这是……邪月结束了？”法琳娜露出一丝喜色。 „Yeah, how long the heavy snow could not want to melt, hurries to tell everybody. Now starts to prepare the words, 2-3 weeks later can start.” “嗯,大雪要不了多久就会融化,赶紧去告诉大家吧。现在开始做准备的话,两三周后就能启程。” „Yes, I asked to be excused first!” She nods, runs to the inner city direction. “是,那我先告退了！”她点点头,向内城方向跑去。 But at this moment, announced that the dusk praying ding also transmits from Holy City, nine bell sound already have the meaning of reporting time, is the believer to the time that gods closed eyes prays. 而此刻,宣告黄昏的祷钟声也从圣城里传来,九声钟鸣既有报时之意,也是教徒向神明闭目祷告的时刻。 However Tucker Thor had not prayed. 不过塔克.托尔并没有祈祷。 Because gods could not hear. 因为神明已经听不到了。 He takes off head royal crown, places above the wall pile, then climbs up the city wall, looks to the setting sun afterglow of distant place. 他脱下头上的冠冕,放在墙垛之上,接着爬上城墙,望向远处的落日余晖。 Wish makes these people totally give up Hermes, his also matter must do. 想要让这些人彻底放弃赫尔梅斯,他还有一件事要做。 However Tucker did not mind, because of then, him can also treat with the companion who these once fought side-by-side in the same place. 不过塔克并不介意,因为如此一来,他也能和那些曾并肩作战的同伴待在一起了。 This piece dusk is not only the Church's setting sun, is entire human race Sunset. 这片黄昏不仅是教会的落日,也是全人类的日暮。 He closes the eye, under falls body. 他闭上眼睛,倾倒下身子。 ...... …… Farina hears behind hears the slight collision sound, like had any thing to slide into the mountain valley. 法琳娜听到身后传来轻微的碰撞声,像是有什么东西滑入了山谷。 She has turned head, sees only in the city wall already the nobody left. 她回过头去,只见城墙上已空无一人。 …… …… Clock of volume dusk ends 黄昏之钟卷完
