LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

As festival, Midsummer Festival does not calculate famous ——— actually, because most starts it is only mercenary does, everybody eats and drinks together the happy activity, because afterward Mercenary Association wanted „to have a good time together with the people”, therefore widened the range, made like a holiday, even if so, Midsummer Festival itself always does not calculate that attached great importance, because mercenary disposition was unhappy makes widely known, they liked bellowing „to open eat”, then ate around. But like many festival, does not make some all kinds of things first, then how many people came up to speak, expresses to expect that ideal mission what ——— mercenary lives today not to know person who will have tomorrow, expected that the ideal this gadget will have with for them is different, besides making money also to have as for mission ——— — their missions other? 作为一个祭典,仲夏祭其实并不算出名———因为最开始它只是佣兵自己所搞出来的,大家一起吃吃喝喝乐一乐的活动,后来因为佣兵协会想要“与民同乐”,所以才扩大了范围,弄得像一个节日一样,不过即便如此,仲夏祭本身历来也不算受人重视,因为佣兵本身的性格就是不喜张扬,他们更喜欢大吼一声“开吃啦”,然后胡吃海喝。而不是像很多祭典那样,先弄些五花八门的东西,再上来几个人说说话,表达一下期望理想使命什么的———佣兵都是活着今天也不知道有没有明天的人,期望理想这玩意儿对他们来说有和没有一样,至于使命————他们的使命除了赚钱还有别的吗？ Therefore past Midsummer Festival in ceremony was very lonely, like beforehand Holy War Ceremony, everybody arrived, ballot grouping, then took an oath, then can eat and drink waited for the competition to start. Therefore in usual Midsummer Festival, most receives the competition that between Mercenary Guild pays attention to actually, ceremony anything went through the motions, mercenary do not care, these common people do not care, they are willing to encircle before the arena directly, was waiting for cheers. 所以以往的仲夏祭在仪式方面算是很冷清的,就像之前的圣战仪式一样,大家到场,抽签分组,然后宣誓一下,接着就可以吃吃喝喝的等着比赛开始。所以在平时的仲夏祭里,其实最受关注的佣兵公会之间的比赛,仪式什么的都是走个过场,佣兵自己不在乎,那些平民也不怎么在乎,他们更愿意直接围到擂台前,等待着加油喝彩。 However this time, traded Lydia to be the Midsummer Festival organizer, this always by luxurious, extravagant, did Your Highness that was famous magnificently, how possibly endure this type lonely also not to have festival of what meaning? 但是这一次,换了莉蒂亚做仲夏祭的主办者,这位向来以奢华,铺张,华丽著称的殿下,怎么可能忍受这种冷清又没有什么意思的祭典呢？ Therefore unprecedented, magnificent festival when the sky just shone, started. 于是一场前所未有的,华丽的祭典在天刚刚亮的时候,就开始了。 With resounding, low and deep salute sound, the innumerable magic fireworks howl are dancing in the air to airborne, they circle in the sky, scatter in all directions, afterward with first newborn sunlight fusion in the same place, suddenly, as if entire Golden City peak revives under this dazzling sunlight. 伴随着响亮,低沉的礼炮声,无数魔法的烟花呼啸着飞舞向空中,它们在天空上盘旋,四散,随后与第一道初生的阳光融合在一起,一时间,仿佛整个黄金城的顶端都在这耀眼的阳光之下苏醒过来。 Rhodes is looking at outside scenery. Surprised stared wide-eyed, but his Leiya and Anne and the others completely it can be said that were dumbfounded. 罗德望着外面的景色。惊讶的瞪大了眼睛,而他身边的莉洁和安妮等人则完全可以说是目瞪口呆了。 A night passes by, their present Golden City probably have changed a city, represents major Mercenary Guild and Association flag flutters with the wind in the deep blue sky, golden sunlight as if invisible rivers along spread in the sky, the innumerable flower petals drop from the clouds, along with light flower fragrance, to person an incomparably happy feeling ......... 只是一夜过去,他们眼前的黄金城就好像换了一座城市,代表各大佣兵公会和协会的旗帜随风飘扬在湛蓝的天空上,金色的阳光仿佛一道无形的河流顺在天空上扩散开来,无数的花瓣从天而降,伴随着淡淡的花香,给人一种无比舒畅的感觉……… „This is ......... Midsummer Festival?” “这是………仲夏祭？” Joey scratched the head. Somewhat scared is looking at present all ——— right, is scared. Lydia likes the magnificent scene, moreover serious that likes, but this does not represent other people also same to like this lively magnificent scene, especially will soon enter the stage regarding these mercenary of competition is so, the scene is bigger. They are more anxious, is unlikely to display strength ——— this then more is normal person's performance, excited wishing one could starts to compete like Anne immediately then punches the match is the minorities who completely routed then enjoys to cheer. 乔伊挠了挠头。有些恐慌的望着眼前的一切———没错,是恐慌。莉蒂亚喜欢大场面,而且喜欢的不得了,但是这并不代表其他人也一样喜欢这种热闹的大场面,特别是对于这些即将出场比赛的佣兵来说更是如此,场面越大。他们就越紧张,就越不太可能发挥出实力———这才是正常人的表现,像安妮这样已经激动的恨不得立刻开始比赛然后把对手揍个落花流水然后享受欢呼的才是少数派。 „Was good, this does not have anything, you give me calmly.” “好了,这没有什么,你们都给我冷静点。” Is looking at the present scenery, Rhodes actually performance not anything exceptionally, although this time festival scale looks like somewhat big, but this is also and usual Midsummer Festival compares. However must with these regular holiday festival comparisons words, the present scale and these cannot miss many actually. But the ceremony that exaggerates is Dragon Soul Festival ——— that is the genuine whole nation revelry. Compared with that present Midsummer Festival also is really the small scene. 望着眼前的景色,罗德倒是表现的没有什么异常,虽然这次的祭典规模看起来有些大,但这也不过是和平时的仲夏祭比起来。但是要和那些正规的节日祭典比较的话,现在的规模和那些其实也差不了多少。而最夸张的仪式则是龙魂祭———那才是真正的举国狂欢。和那个比起来,眼前的仲夏祭还真算是小场面。 However even if so, Rhodes actually is also ——— this Your Highness that sighs at heart really will be looking for trouble for oneself, festival does is livelier, aren't oneself subordinate/hand this group of people more tense? Fortunately, he already had the plan of correspondence, otherwise, has not known that will turn into any appearance. 不过即便如此,罗德其实也是在心里叹了口气的———这位殿下真会给自己找麻烦,祭典搞的越热闹,自己手下这帮人不就越紧张吗？还好,他早就有了对应之策,不然的话,还不知道会变成什么样子呢。 Thinks of here, Rhodes has taken back vision. Then looked at other people. 想到这里,罗德收回了目光。然后望了一眼其他人。 „Good. Prepares, to time our set off ——— before that. Appreciates the festival scenery well.” “好了。去准备一下,到时间我们就出发———在那之前。好好欣赏一下祭典的风景吧。” Said here, Rhodes paused for a moment, he subconsciously has then swept people, the Marlene form, this was very not normal, after yesterday's ceremony, she told itself to go home, today will go to Sacred Arena directly, but Rhodes has also permitted her asking for leave, after all his also very clear Golden City was the Shenia Family site, Marlene, since came back, did not go home to have a look not to be justified. What therefore he has not said that Mercenary Group sealed up in the station was so long, Shenia Family has not walked , weren't oneself good too excessively is not? Buckles others successor in Mercenary Group does not let go home ———, although Midsummer Festival indeed is very important, but has not arrived at this degree Ah......... 说道这里,罗德停顿了一下,接着他下意识的扫了一眼众人,玛琳的身影并不在其中,这也很正常,在昨天的仪式之后,她就告诉自己要回家一趟,今天将会直接前往神圣竞技场,而罗德也允许了她的请假,毕竟他也很清楚黄金城是仙妮亚家族的所在地,玛琳既然回来了,不回家看看也说不过去。所以他也没有多说什么,佣兵团在驻地封闭了这么久,仙妮亚家族都没有找上门来,自己也不好太过分不是？把人家继承人扣在佣兵团里不让回家———虽然仲夏祭的确是很重要,但是也没有到这种程度啊……… Therefore finally, Rhodes agreed with Marlene „asking for leave”. 所以最终,罗德还是同意了玛琳的“请假”。 But has not seen the Marlene form now, Rhodes thinks somewhat strangely, since Marlene joins Mercenary Group, he has been used to this eldest young miss peaceful followed in oneself behind day. Moreover is different from Leiya, Marlene is keen in the observations of a lot, can help itself deal with many issues. If there is traded normally she, now sees the Rhodes such vision to sweep, Marlene definitely early walked, doubts and somewhat dignified looks at to inquire that what happened. 只不过现在没有看见玛琳的身影,罗德还是觉得有些怪怪的,自从玛琳加入佣兵团之后,他已经习惯了这位大小姐安静的跟随在自己身后的日子。而且和莉洁不同,玛琳在很多事情的观察上非常敏锐,也能够帮助自己处理不少问题。如果换了平日她在的时候,现在看见罗德这么目光扫过的话,玛琳肯定早已经走上来,疑惑而又有些凝重的望着自己询问发生了什么事吧。 Thinks of here, Rhodes shook the head, deep in one's heart, helpless after throwing the brain, no matter what, others are also Shenia Family successor, is willing to come Starlight Mercenary Group to oneself after such a long time assistant is very good ——— actually Rhodes already has completed this Midsummer Festival, Marlene may leave the preparation of Mercenary Group. He had not forgotten why this eldest young miss initially joined Mercenary Group, is not because needs the certain extent practical experience? 想到这里,罗德摇了摇头,把内心深处的这点无奈扔到脑后,不管怎么说,人家也是仙妮亚家族的继承人,肯来星光佣兵团给自己当这么长时间的副手已经算是很不错了———其实罗德已经做好了这次仲夏祭之后,玛琳有可能离开佣兵团的准备。他可没有忘记,这位大小姐当初是为什么加入佣兵团的,还不就是因为需要一定程度的实战经验吗？ Now practical experience Marlene does not lack, the practice in Illusory Image Space also makes her strength progress by leaps and bounds, this time Midsummer Festival is actually the terminal examinations of Marlene, if this eldest young miss good behavior, then meant that she takes a test qualified, as the matter stands ——— —— as the matter stands, Marlene naturally has not kept the reason of Starlight. 现在实战经验玛琳不缺少了,在幻影空间中的练习也让她的实力突飞猛进,这次的仲夏祭其实已经算是玛琳的期末考试,如果这位大小姐表现良好的,那么就意味她考试合格,这样一来—————这样一来,玛琳自然就没有留在星光的理由了。 Must say that regarding departure of Marlene, Rhodes did not feel that regretted that is deceiving people, Marlene is first walks in truly, joins the Starlight Mercenary Group member. She it can be said that participated in Mercenary Group from foundation to present a series of changes, moreover this eldest young miss is speaks the discretion very much, very calm calm, clear situation person who also quite looks. Naturally, her disposition is somewhat arrogant, looks like in Rhodes, this is not considered as that the Marlene shortcoming. Moreover she also receives the respect and love in Mercenary Group, has enough dignity, on the reorganization thing is also in good order, she not only can very clear implements the Rhodes' instruction. Even if when Rhodes has not issued the instruction, Marlene also knows how should do regarding Mercenary Group is most appropriate. She as successor of respected family, are many in the nature that this aspect studies, otherwise she inherited a Shenia such huge family, does could it be also make her depend on own Mage strength and cheek rules the following clansman? 要说对于玛琳的离去,罗德不感到惋惜那是在骗人,玛琳算是第一个真正找上门来,加入星光佣兵团的成员。她可以说是参与了佣兵团从创建到现在的一系列变化,而且这位大小姐是个很讲分寸,又非常冷静沉着,也相当看的清楚形势的人。当然,她的性格有些高傲,不过在罗德看来,这并不算是玛琳的缺点。而且她在佣兵团中也非常受到尊敬和爱戴,拥有足够的威严,在整理事物上也是井井有条,她不但可以非常清楚的贯彻罗德的指令。哪怕在罗德没有下达指令的时候,玛琳也知道该怎么做对于佣兵团是最合适的。她身为大家族的继承人,在这方面学习的自然不少,不然等她继承了仙妮亚这么庞大的一个家族,难道还让她靠自己法师的实力和脸蛋去统治下面的族人吗？ From, Rhodes naturally is not at heart willing to give up a Marlene such good assistant, although said good that also Vivian and coordinate, but Vivian disposition extremely bracelet, she more suitable, when Mu minister, but non- assistant, Leiya, although is obedient very much, but she belongs to be obedient excessively, does not have too many own opinions, in addition the Leiya disposition is temperate, is not good at leading and directing other people. Perhaps Rhodes, she does not have what issue, but Rhodes one is not, certainly will have the problem. 从心里来说,罗德当然是不愿意放弃玛琳这么好的一个副手,虽然说七恋和自己配合的也不错,但是七恋性格太过跳脱,她更适合当幕卿而非副手,莉洁虽然很听话,但是她属于听话过头,没有太多自己的主见,再加上莉洁性格温和柔顺,不擅长带领和指挥其他人。罗德在的时候,她或许没有什么问题,但是罗德一不在,就一定会出现问题。 Wants do not think as for Anne ——. 至于安妮——就更是想都不要想了。 Actually from another perspective, Celia and Celestina also very much meets the Rhodes' requirement, but as Holy Sword Deck Spirit/Elf, their impossible day 24 hours to treat outside. Therefore this does not have ——— of means to think that after this Midsummer Festival, oneself very possible to be the Mercenary Group new running mate has a headache, Rhodes thinks then can't help but somewhat depressed. 其实从另外一个方面来说,塞莉亚和赛蕾丝蒂娜也很符合罗德的要求,不过作为圣剑套牌的精灵,她们不可能一天24小时都待在外面。所以这也是没有办法的———一想到在这次仲夏祭之后,自己很可能要为佣兵团新的副手人选而头疼,罗德就不由觉得有些郁闷。 Moreover his deep in one's heart also acknowledged, oneself indeed too does not hope Marlene leaves own. 而且他内心深处也承认,自己的确是不太希望玛琳离开自己的。 Naturally bases on other reasons besides above reason. 当然是基于除了以上的理由之外的其他理由。 However Rhodes is also very clear, this reason did not say was too clear. 但是罗德也很清楚,这个理由不好说的太清楚。 „......... How? Rhodes .........?” “………怎么了？罗德………？” Ear broadcast the Christie sound, Rhodes had lowered the head, looks following the direction that the sound sent out, this discovered that Christie was drawing own sleeves, raised the head, is having restless and worry expression is looking at itself. 耳边传来了克里斯蒂的声音,罗德低下头,顺着声音发出的方向望去,这才发现克里斯蒂正一手拉着自己的衣袖,一面抬起头来,带着不安和担心的表情望着自己。 „......... The Rhodes' expression was very a moment ago bad ......... Is the body is uncomfortable .........?” “………刚才罗德的表情很差………是身体不舒服吗………？” „It is not, Christie, I have thought something, think somewhat troublesome.” “不是,克里斯蒂,我只是想到了一些事情,觉得有些麻烦而已。” Is looking at the present girl, Rhodes shows a faint smile( this is also people rarely can see the opportunity of Rhodes smiling face), then, his squatting lower part of the body, is gazing at Christie, simultaneously puts out a hand, helping her comb the hair. 望着眼前的女孩,罗德微微一笑（这也是众人难得能够看见罗德笑容的机会）,接着,他蹲下身去,注视着克里斯蒂,同时伸出手去,帮她梳理了一下头发。 „I am thinking ......... If Marlene must leave, how then should do.” “我只是在想………如果玛琳要离开的话,接下来该怎么做而已。” „............ Can Elder Sister Marlene leave ............?” “…………玛琳姐姐要离开…………？” Hears these words, Christie somewhat surprised stared wide-eyed, although she so is not good like Rhodes with several other people's relations, but after these many days being together, Christie is Marlene and the others was also very familiar, she does not certainly give up this looks like somewhat serious, but leaves to oneself very good Elder Sister actually. 听到这句话,克里斯蒂有些惊讶的瞪大了眼睛,虽然她和其他几个人的关系并不像罗德这么好,但是经过这么多天的相处,克里斯蒂也已经算是和玛琳等人很熟悉了,她当然不舍得这个看起来有些严肃,但是其实对自己很好的姐姐离开。 „......... Why can Elder Sister Marlene leave? Rhodes ......... Continuously when here, with everybody in the same place ......... Isn't good?” “………为什么玛琳姐姐要离开呢？罗德………一直待在这里,和大家在一起………不好吗？” Hears the speech of Christie, Rhodes helpless shrugging the shoulders, is smiling bitterly shaking the head. 听到克里斯蒂的说话,罗德无奈的耸耸肩膀,苦笑着摇了摇头。 „She has her life, Christie, we have our life ......... Moreover, I said the possibility, perhaps won't she leave?” “她有她的生活,克里斯蒂,我们有我们的生活………而且,我只是说可能而已,说不定她不会离开呢？” „......... Elder Sister Marlene will not leave .........” “………玛琳姐姐是不会离开的………” Hears Rhodes' to reply, Christie has actually shown a self-confident smile. 听到罗德的回答,克里斯蒂却是露出了一丝自信的微笑。 „......... I know, Elder Sister Marlene likes everybody very much ......... Elder Sister Marlene will not leave .........” “………我知道,玛琳姐姐很喜欢大家………玛琳姐姐是不会离开的………” „Hope so.” “希望如此吧。” Heard these words, Rhodes has not said again anything, the hair of his gently stroking Christie, stood up afterward once more, then looked to out of the window. 听到这句话,罗德再也没有多说什么,他轻轻抚摸着克里斯蒂的头发,随后再次站起身来,接着望向窗外。 In there, Sacred Arena, is glittering the dazzling brilliance under shining of sunlight. 在那里,神圣竞技场,正在阳光的照耀下闪烁着耀眼的光辉。 Immediately is enters the stage. 马上就是自己出场的时候了。 " " = " _ " >\; " target="_blank">\;www.piaotian.com" = " _ " >\; : // " >\; target="_blank">\;http://www.piaotian.com">\;
