With the low and deep whistle sound, H.M.S. Roland anchors steadily near dock. Probably when is this ship by the reason of Great Chief name name, Logia goes down the trestle, discovered that on dock people back and forth as if by prior agreement stop the footsteps, has raised the right hand to the steamship direction. 伴随着低沉的汽笛声,罗兰号平稳地停靠在码头边。大概是这艘船以大酋长名字命名的缘故,洛嘉走下栈桥时,发现码头上来来回回的人们都不约而同地停下脚步,向大船方向举起了右手。 But the First Army soldier on ship also by similar posture reply people. 而船上的第一军士兵也以同样的姿势回复众人。 That should be a special courtesy. 那应该是一种特殊的礼节。 But has seen with her courtesy is not same, the two sides as if do not have a side to be in the region of low-rank, salutes or accepts gifts, both sides are equal to...... This made her some unreadable. If the both sides status is the same, why can salute? In her opinion, worshipping on bended knees ritual is also good, the making a fist ritual is also good, always the side is a receiver of salute, this can express the meaning of respect and obedience. 只不过和她见过的礼节都不相同,两边似乎没有一方处于下位者的境地,无论是施礼还是受礼,双方都是等同的……这令她有些难以理解。如果双方地位一样,又何必要行礼？在她看来,跪拜礼也好,握拳礼也好,总有一方为受礼者,这样才能表达出敬仰与服从的意思。 Moreover she also notes, has shown the similar posture in the children who by dock played, and supported old tall the chest. In this process, does not have a person of facial expression is base and low and unwilling, the vision of everyone has been full of joyful and energy. Through such courtesy, they have as if completed an indescribable communication. 而且她还注意到,就连在码头旁玩耍的孩童都摆出了同样的姿势,并且把胸膛挺得老高。在这一过程中,没有一人的神情是卑微而不甘的,每个人的目光都充满了喜悦与活力。通过这样的礼节,他们似乎完成了一次难以言喻的沟通。 „This is the military salute,” Ash opens the mouth to say on own initiative, „from the beginning I do not understand why they must such do, but also thinks that was Roland Wimbledon forces to request citizen so, afterward not to discover like I thought.” “这是军礼,”灰烬主动开口道,“一开始我也不明白他们为什么要这么做,还以为是罗兰.温布顿强制要求领民如此,后来才发现并非像我想的那样。” Logia has selected brow surprisedly, „called H.M.S. Roland with this ship irrelevant?” 洛嘉惊讶地挑了挑眉头,“跟这艘船叫罗兰号无关？” „Right, when there are to carry the First Army ships approach shored, they spontaneously will raise hand to salute, because this was expediting foreign family member safely to return on behalf of another batch.” “没错,只要有搭载了第一军的船只靠岸时,他们就会自发地举手行礼,因为这代表着又一批远征境外的家人安全返回了。” „But they look like likely are not...... Whole families,” Third Princess hesitantly said. If the family member greets, shouldn't be more excited? Moreover the soldier basically is a male, but the female on dock is few, does each of them have brothers? “可他们看起来并不像是……一家人,”三公主迟疑道。如果是家人迎接,不应该更加激动吗？而且士兵基本全是男性,而码头上的女子寥寥无几,难道他们每个人都恰好有个兄弟？ Andrea shrugs saying that „First Army all members come from Neverwinter City, this means that not only in most resident families/home some people enlist in the military, in the neighbor neighbor also has many. This with asks for live mercenary soldier in all directions, militia that as well as commandeers is completely different, is more like one type work that is full of the honor. They congratulate the child return of others family/home, will have others to congratulate for them own family member arrives in-- this safely probably is " people's army that " Your Majesty said meaning.” 安德莉亚耸肩道,“第一军的所有成员都来自无冬城,这意味着不仅大多数居民家中有人参军,邻居街坊中也有不少。这跟四处讨活的佣兵,以及强征来的民兵完全不一样,更像是一种充满荣誉的工作。他们庆贺别人家的孩子归来,也会有别人替他们庆贺自己的亲人平安抵达——这大概便是陛下所说的「人民军队」的含义。” Is all constituted by citizen...... Army? 全由领民构成的……军队么？ The wolf female shows facial expression looking pensive, entered Neverwinter City with witch one line. 狼女露出若有所思的神情,跟着女巫一行人进入了无冬城。 This was known as that Greycastle new Kingdom Capital city first to her reflection is neat, except continuous pedestrian outside, the house or the street, assume the straight line distribution, main road both sides trees are so. This compact arrangement made her feel constrained, although seemed magnificent incomparable, did not have Iron Sand City to be like that comfortable. 这座号称灰堡新王都的城市第一个给她的映像便是整齐,除开络绎不绝的行人外,无论是房子还是街道,都是呈直线排布,就连大路两旁的树木都是如此。这种紧凑的布置让她感到了一丝压抑,尽管看上去壮观无比,却没有了铁砂城那般自在。 Moreover what made her disappointed was, in Neverwinter City could not see how much snows, was dry including the hard road surface of under foot, only then on the branch and roof, can find some remaining white snows. 而且令她失望的是,无冬城里看不到多少积雪,连脚下的坚硬路面都是干燥的,只有在枝桠与屋顶上,才能瞧见些许残余的白雪。 Travelled for pleasure a hope of pure white Syracuse to fail. 游历一座纯白色雪城的希望落空了。 Naturally, this place does not have the merit. 当然,此地也不是全无优点。 Logia discovered that by above street some houses is hanging the giant signboard, above writes all kinds of indication, for example old hunter leather, straw paper room and Northern Slope gem line wait/etc....... Although many horizontal signs were still at the blank condition, but was only these made her eyes cannot take it all. 洛嘉发现,街道旁的部分房子上方挂着巨大的牌匾,上面写着五花八门的标示,例如老猎户皮革、草纸屋、北坡宝石行等等……尽管许多横牌仍处于空白状态,但光是这些就已经令她目不暇接了。 Moreover each intersection is standing unexpectedly also erect the index plate, actually not only sectioned out various crossings to lead to where, has marked the name the street of correspondence. 而且每个路口处竟然还竖立着指示牌,不仅标出了各条岔道究竟通往哪里,更是把对应的街道都标上了名字。 For example she now, is the brilliance main road. 例如她现在所走的,便是光辉大道。 The wolf female realized quickly, this regarding visits the Neverwinter City stranger to be greatly helpful for the first time. Through these marking, she can remember the approximate appearance of city quickly, knows where can buy and sell the cargo, where can seek lodging for the night to pass the night, thus exempted has sought help from the local the trouble of snake head or Mouse. 狼女很快意识到,这对于首次踏足无冬城的陌生人来说大有帮助。通过这些标识,她能很快记住城市的大致模样,知道哪里可以买卖货物,哪里可以投宿过夜,从而免去了求助于当地蛇头或老鼠的麻烦。 Travels with these in the commerical traveller conversation of Extreme Southern Region, she hears many was initially was unfamiliar with the people and place the strange city that has always filled to development story-- of place difficultly with the setback, the expose outcomer status at the same time, in some sense was also equal to that has placed itself in the weak situation. 同那些往返于极南境的旅行商人交谈中,她听得最多的便是初到一地的开拓故事——人生地不熟的陌生城市总是充满了艰辛与挫折,暴露外来者身份的同时,从某种意义上来说也等于把自己放在了弱势的处境上。 But this kind of small action, enormously has then facilitated new arrival, even if she, when seeing the street sign instructs, felt an inexplicable kindness, resembles the city to welcome her arrival to be ordinary. 而这样一个小小的举动,便极大方便了初来乍到者,哪怕是她,在看到路牌指示时,也感到了一股莫名的亲切,就好像城市在欢迎她的到来一般。 Perhaps because of so, these lively and busy streets and alleys also appears is natural at present. 或许正是因为如此,眼前这些繁华而忙碌的街巷也显得理所当然起来。 What a pity the Logia too much time have not appreciated the city of this foreign land. 可惜洛嘉并没有太多时间来欣赏这座异乡之城。 Ash has taken into the feudal lord castle her quickly, waited for in the hall shortly , a guard has then brought the reply of King of Greycastle, „comes with me, Your Majesty same opinion you.” 灰烬很快将她带进了领主城堡,在大厅中等待了没多久,一名侍卫便带来了灰堡之王的回复,“跟我来吧,陛下同意见你了。” Why does not know, Logia somewhat is suddenly anxious. 不知为何,洛嘉忽然有些紧张起来。 Her took a deep breath, is on three buildings with personal guard secretly, afterward alone enters in an insightful bright study room. 她暗地里深吸了一口气,跟着亲卫登上三楼,随后独自走进一间通透明亮的书房中。 Places after the window mahogany table, by sitting one is younger much the man, he wears a plain-colored long gown, the ash-grey hair shawl, has not worn the royal crown, on the finger has not pulled refers to or the valuable abstention. Holds appreciatively a quill pen at the same time, he have a relish is also taking a look at her. 摆放在落地窗边的红木桌后,靠坐着一名年轻得令人惊讶的男子,他穿着一袭素色长袍,灰发披肩,既没有佩戴冠冕,手指上也没有扳指或宝戒。把玩一支鹅毛笔的同时,他亦在饶有兴致地打量着她。 This stirs Extreme Southern Region earth-shaking Great Chief? 这就是搅得极南境翻天覆地的大酋长？ Logia is hard to link for a while with the image that oneself expect the opposite party. 洛嘉一时难以把对方同自己预想的形象联系在一起。 In her heart, a knowledge vast, and has the person of uncommon military study idea, should enters into the 40-year-old, on the forehead presented the wrinkle, the short braid that the beard grips is long and chest, and has the elder of profound vision. Even if the north person does not like gripping the growth pigtail beard, should not young to this situation! 在她心中,一个学识广博、且具有不凡武学理念的人,应该是迈入不惑之年,额头上已出现皱纹,胡须扎出的小辫长及胸口,并拥有深邃目光的长者。就算北国人不喜欢把胡子扎成长辫,也不应该年轻到这个地步啊！ She fainted from fear oneself to omit a important matter at this moment, that was carefully was inquiring when Neverwinter City strong Tawu, forgot to inquire Great Chief situation. 她此刻才惊觉自己遗漏了一件重要的事情,那就是在仔细打听无冬城强大武者之余,忘了询问大酋长的情况。 After hesitant moment, Third Princess decides to defer to the custom of Mojin person to salute. 犹豫片刻后,三公主决定还是按照莫金人的规矩行礼。 Has shaken the ear, her knees touch, lies to bend down-- ash-grey hair slowly is the view of Greycastle royal family bloodlines symbol, Logia has heard after all. 抖了抖耳朵,她双膝触地,缓缓趴伏下来——毕竟灰发是灰堡王室血脉象征的说法,洛嘉还是听说过的。 „You are the Wildflame Clan goddess, right?” The opposite party has not made her salute intentionally too for a long time, the forehead just bumped into the ground, he then opened the mouth, „gets up, Wisewolf, welcome to Neverwinter City. I am Roland Wimbledon, Greycastle King, naturally is also your Great Chief.” “你就是狂焰氏族的神女,对吧？”对方并没有故意让她行礼太长时间,额头刚碰到地面,他便开了口,“起来吧,贤狼,欢迎来到无冬城。我是罗兰.温布顿,灰堡国王,当然也是你们的大酋长。” Wisewolf? Logia knits the brows secretly slightly, what name is this? Does the wolf also divide the virtue? 贤狼？洛嘉暗地里微微皱眉,这是什么叫法？狼还分贤不贤的？ However she has stood quickly calmly, when has not heard these words to be the same, „my name is Logia Burningfire, Your Majesty. As for the name of goddess...... Since to here, called witch to be quite appropriate. Moreover, my father Gulz Burningfire holds me to represent Wildflame Clan to salute to you, hope your rule and oasis is equally long-time.” 不过她很快若无其事地站了起来,就当没有听到这句话一样,“我的名字是洛嘉.焚火,陛下。至于神女的称谓……既然到了这里,还是叫女巫比较合适。另外,我的父亲古尔兹.焚火托我代表狂焰氏族向您致敬,愿您的统治与绿洲一样长久。” But this time she does not have to be responded immediately. 但这一次她没有立刻得到回应。 Secretly when doubts, the wolf female lifts the line of sight quietly, actually the vision of discovery opposite party stayed on her long ear. 暗自疑惑之际,狼女悄悄抬起视线,却发现对方的目光停留在了她的长耳朵上。
