Chapter 563 第563章 Frozen Lake ( ii ) 冰封之湖（II） Under narration of this old man, quick Rhodes understood the long and short of the story of matter. 在这个老人的讲述之下,很快罗德就明白了事情的来龙去脉。 Actually the matter is not complex, its reason also lies in Frozen Lake this quest, before Rhodes, in these many years also many Mercenary Guild comes to here to have the luck, because that Ice Demon is troublesome, is nasty, many Mercenary Guild lose, this is not strange regarding Rhodes, if these people have succeeded, now where wheel was acted to complete this quest oneself? 其实事情并不复杂,其原因还在于冰封之湖这个任务,在罗德之前,这么多年中也有很多佣兵公会都来这里碰过运气,不过因为那个冰魔非常麻烦,难以对付,不少佣兵公会都是铩羽而归,这对于罗德来说也并不奇怪,如果那些人都成功了,现在哪里轮得到自己出面完成这个任务？ But issue, actually on mercenary of these failure. 而问题,却正出在这些失败的佣兵上。 These mercenary eliminate the Ice Demon failure, racket the buttocks walks, but actually painstakingly these lived in Frozen Lake nearby resident. Although these mercenary facing Ice Demon are the disastrous defeats, but in any event, they have turned in the hand with Ice Demon, and awakens from the deep sleep Ice Demon--- any life was awakened by noise in sleeping soundly may not have any good nature, but these mercenary can pat, but these residents actually must face the Ice Demon anger, although that was sealed up Ice Demon under Frozen Lake unable to leave the lake, but it can actually make some low level water element monster to harass nearby villages and small towns, connects several times, made that the Green Tree Town resident is miserable beyond description. Moreover, in every time after mercenaries fights, Ice Demon will absorb the water of water source to make up for own loss, this also causes the villages and small towns in Frozen Lake lakeside to meet anhydrous available, little in January/one month, many six months, these residents will face do not have the difficult position of water. Although they can also go to Frozen Lake to shiver there ice piece, but who knows that under that has fearful monster, will eat there volunteer fire brigade not to have the issue? These townspeoples naturally are worried. 这些佣兵消灭冰魔失败,拍拍屁股就走,但是却苦了这些居住在冰封之湖附近的居民。虽然那些佣兵面对冰魔都是惨败,但是无论如何,他们都是与冰魔交上了手,并且将冰魔从沉睡之中唤醒———任何一个生命在熟睡的时候被人吵醒可都不会有什么好脾气,而那些佣兵可以拍拍屁股走人,而这些居民却要面对冰魔的怒火,虽然那个被封闭在冰封之湖下的冰魔无法离开湖泊,但是它却可以制造一些低级水元素怪物来骚扰附近的村镇,连接几次下来,弄得绿树镇的居民苦不堪言。不仅如此,在每一次和佣兵们战斗之后,冰魔就会吸取水源地的水来弥补自身的损失,这也导致冰封之湖湖畔的村镇会无水可用,少则一月,多则半年时间,这些居民都会面临没有水的困境。虽然他们也可以去冰封之湖敲碎那里的冰块,但是谁都知道那下面有个可怕的怪物,吃那里的水会不会有问题？这些镇民自然还是担心的。 from the beginning, these townspeoples can also clench teeth to endure, in any event, so long as can eliminate this monster, then all will return to normal. However these many years later, Ice Demon had not been eliminated, these residents could not endure patiently finally again. Although said that the beforehand life is also very bitter, but mercenaries has not come to provoke Ice Demon time, the good and evil they can also getting down, the adaptiveness of person is very strong. However now, punitive expedition time and time again, failure time and time again has made these residents be miserable beyond description, because of this. Comes here to strike to kill Ice Demon regarding mercenaries, the manner of small town resident already warm welcome from the beginning, transformed afterward watching critically, turned into the negative opposition to the present. They had been sufficed by the hard times that Ice Demon suffers. That monster in Frozen Lake these many years, what does not have to make besides sleeping to them in any case on own initiative, endures this day not same? Always makes these boorish mercenary enrage it compared with the present, then must be withstood the anger by oneself well many. 一开始的时候,这些镇民还可以咬牙忍受,无论如何,只要能够消灭这个怪物,那么就一切都会恢复正常。但是这么多年下来,冰魔一直没有被消灭,这些居民终于再也忍耐不下去了。虽然说以前的生活也很苦,可是佣兵们没有来招惹冰魔的时候,好歹他们也能够过下去,人的适应能力可是很强的。但是现在,一次又一次的讨伐,一次又一次的失败已经让这些居民苦不堪言,也正因为如此。对于佣兵们前来这里击杀冰魔,小镇居民的态度已经从一开始的热烈欢迎,转变成了后来的冷眼旁观,到现在则变成了消极反对。他们已经受够了被冰魔折磨的苦日子。反正那个怪物在冰封之湖这么多年,除了睡觉之外也没有主动对他们做过什么,忍一忍这日子不还是一样过吗？总比现在让那些粗野的佣兵把它激怒,然后又要让自己来承受怒火好的多吧。 Listens to narration of old man, nearby mercenaries is actually awkward, mercenaries mostly is the grass-root people, can therefore understand the moods of these townspeoples. Before because the standpoint was different, reward that therefore after these mercenary most is they who started mostly to think completes quest, can obtain, but is unable to complete the quest words, they naturally also only paid attention to oneself loss. As for here resident, to be honest mercenaries has not thought that after all in their opinion, these residents are only the employers of disbursing money, the dangerous work wants to manage, their distant hiding in behind, does not have what life threat, what matter but can also have?! 听完老人的讲述,旁边的佣兵们倒是一脸尴尬,佣兵们大多都是底层民众,因此更加能够理解这些镇民的心情。之前因为立场不同,所以这些佣兵最开始大多想的都是他们自己完成任务之后会得到的报酬,而无法完成任务的话,他们自然也只关注自己的损失。而至于这里的居民,说实话佣兵们是根本没怎么想过的,毕竟在他们看来,这些居民只是出钱的雇主,危险的活儿还是要自己来办,他们远远的躲在后面,又没有什么生命威胁,还能够有什么事？！ But this moment Leiya also frowned, somewhat feels embarrassed. Although said that she was also born in Royal Family, but childhood left Golden City to swim after all very much in all directions **, the nature understood the mentality of grass-root people. If traded Marlene to come, perhaps in any event is unable to understand why these people rather here endured hardship are not willing to leave this damned place, in her opinion here was the place of bitter cold, was so dangerous, whole family wasn't the migration simply good? Wants barely alive hanging in this place, Marlene is regardless of not to be how impossible to understand. 而此刻莉洁也是皱起眉头,有些为难起来。虽然说她也出生在王室之中,不过毕竟很小的时候就离开了黄金城四处游**,自然对于底层民众的心态非常了解。如果换了玛琳来,恐怕无论如何都无法理解这些人为什么宁愿在这里吃苦也不愿意离开这个鬼地方,在她看来这里是苦寒之地,又那么危险,干脆举家迁徙不就好了？非要半死不活的吊在这个地方,玛琳是无论如何也不可能理解的。 But heard the speech of old man, Rhodes also slightly to hesitate, he was not does not understand the ideas of these people, but this time quest were must complete, this is in present 5-Star quest simplest one regarding Starlight, if gave up this quest, then will be very then troublesome. 而听见老人的说话,罗德也是微微沉吟了下,他不是不理解这些人的想法,不过这次的任务自己是一定要完成的,这可是眼下五星任务中对于星光来说最简单的一个,如果放弃了这个任务,那么接下来就会很麻烦了。 Actually reason that beforehand these mercenary cannot defeat Ice Demon unable to blame their strength being weak, Mercenary Guild is not Mercenary Group, any Mercenary Guild has such 2-3 expert, if most starts also some people to look down on this 5-Star Rank quest, in behind, various large guild is also elite completely leaves, does not have the reason unable to kill such a disaster. Reasons for this include, but also lies in these guild simply has not drawn out the Ice Demon true body, Ice Demon in Water Element Plane is also middle rank monster, strength can't be looked down on, do not raise element creature mostly to have the operation and creates rank low same level element creature ability, but Ice Demon also occupied the Cranmer Area water source, here it wants to make many water element monster to make many, if mercenary and it compares in this aspect, finally naturally is the rout returns. How because they cannot find out make Ice Demon leave the water source with the means that they battle, but mercenary is also human, naturally is impossible to submerge in the chill/yin cold ice-cold water to bring about own destruction. However the ordinary firing off little brother draws out the BOSS means again, regarding can make water element monster Ice Demon continuously is actually useless. 其实之前那些佣兵之所以没有能够打败冰魔也不能怪他们实力弱,佣兵公会可不是佣兵团,任何一个佣兵公会都有那么两三个强者,如果说最开始还有人小瞧这五星级任务的话,那么在后面,各大公会也是精锐尽出,没理由干不掉这么一个祸害。究其原因,还在于这些公会根本就没有引出冰魔的真身,冰魔在水元素位面也是中阶魔物,本身的实力不容小窥,更不要提元素生物大多都有操纵和创造比自己阶级低的同等元素生物的能力,而冰魔又占据了克兰默地区的水源,在这里它想要制造出多少水元素怪物就能够造出多少,佣兵要是在这方面和它比,最后自然是大败而归。因为他们根本想不出如何让冰魔离开水源与他们交战的办法,而佣兵也是人类,当然不可能潜入阴寒冰冷的水里去自寻死路。但是普通的打完小弟再引出BOSS的办法,对于能够源源不断制造水元素怪物的冰魔来说却是毫无用处。 However regarding Rhodes, the above two points is not the issue, his some are the means copes troublesome these. 但是对于罗德而言,以上的两点都不是什么问题,他有的是办法来对付这些麻烦。 However before then, he first solves the present problem. 不过在这之前,他还是先解决眼前的问题。 „Please come with me.” “请跟我来。” Under glare of the public eye, Rhodes had not replied immediately, but has given the hand signal of invitation to that old man, then two people then have arrived at the one side, talked in whispers to start to talk in a low voice. Sees their appearances, no matter the representatives of mercenary or townspeople are curious and doubts, but their also nobody dares to listen secretly, can only stand distantly looks, through two people expressions guessed they were discussing anything. 在众目睽睽之下,罗德并没有立刻回答,而是向那个老人做了个邀请的手势,接着两人便走到了一旁,窃窃私语开始低声交谈起来。看见他们的样子,不管是佣兵还是镇民的代表都非常好奇和疑惑,不过他们也没有人胆敢上去偷听,只能够站在旁边远远的看着,通过两人的表情来猜测他们在谈什么。 In the Rhodes' surface the people cannot see any clue, because since he basically unemotionally, at this time was also same. However mercenaries was also already knew regarding their this strange and formidable Guild Leader, knows he unemotionally that was happy, suddenly wanted him to smile is very warm, was the bad luck omen. Now looks like, own Sir Guild Leader is happy. 罗德的面上众人是看不出任何端倪的,因为他一直以来基本都是面无表情,这个时候也是一样。不过佣兵们对于他们这位古怪而又强大的会长也是早就有所认识,知道他面无表情的时候那才是心情不错,要他忽然笑的很热情,那么就是倒霉的先兆了。现在看起来,自己的这位会长大人心情不错。 Is that old man looks like as if somewhat is on the contrary awkward, spoke facing Rhodes', he shook the head first, then frowned, does not know that was saying anything. But after hearing his speech, beckoning with the hand of Rhodes coldly, did not agree obviously the view of old man, then he raised the head, sharp is looking steadily at the present old man, under his imposing manner, present old man can't help but has shrunk, but is quick he to arouse the courage, shook the head once more, before coming out old man that but these time looks at as if no , is so firm, but somewhat hesitates. However in a while, he raised the head, said anything with Rhodes. But facing the speech of old man, Rhodes still does not have the expression, but he suddenly has actually raised the right hand, stretched out three fingers, but sees Rhodes' this movement, old man silent for a moment, then also said anything, finally, his nodded slowly. But Rhodes puts out a hand, has patted his shoulder, then, that old man then turns around to turn back to several other townspeoples side, said anything with them in a low voice. But hears the speech of old man, that several townspeoples have shown the surprised expression immediately, youngster even also can't help but that before that big yelled noisily jumps, brandishes the fist to plan to shout anything, but his side that middle-aged man responded actually quickly, saw him to jump, a palm of the hand has clapped him, this made that youngster close the mouth. Then these people then slightly desolate said goodbye to mercenaries, later then turned around to leave. 反倒是那个老人看起来似乎有些为难,面对罗德的说话,他先是摇了摇头,然后又皱起眉头,不知道在说什么。而听到他的说话之后,罗德冷冷的摆了摆手,显然并不同意老人的说法,接着他抬起头来,锐利的盯视着眼前的老者,在他的气势之下,眼前的老者不由有所畏缩,不过很快他又鼓足勇气,再次摇了摇头,但是这一次看的出来老人似乎没有之前那么坚决,而是有些犹豫。但是没过多久,他抬起头来,又和罗德说了些什么。而面对老人的说话,罗德依然是没有表情,不过他却是忽然举起了右手,伸出了三根手指,而看见罗德的这个动作,老人沉默了一下,接着又说了些什么,最终,他缓缓的点了点头。而罗德则伸出手去,拍了拍他的肩膀,接着,那老人便转身走回到其他几个镇民身边,低声和他们说了些什么。而听见老人的说话,那几个镇民顿时露出了惊讶的表情,之前那个大吵大叫的年轻人甚至还不由的跳起来,挥舞着拳头打算大喊些什么,不过他身边那个中年男子倒是反应很快,见他跳了起来,就一巴掌把他重新拍了下去,这才让那个年轻人闭上了嘴巴。接着这些人便略显冷淡的向佣兵们告辞,之后便转身离开。 But until this time, Rhodes turned back among mercenary. Sees him to come back, Anne first throws to go forward, excited gripping Rhodes' hand, vacillation of effort. 而直到这个时候,罗德才走回到了佣兵中间。见他回来,安妮第一个扑上前去,兴奋不已的握住罗德的手,用力的左右摇摆。 „Anne knows, Captain has the means that these repugnant fellows were really expelled by you! What kind of? They do not dare to stop us again!” “安妮就知道,还是团长有办法,那些讨厌的家伙果然被你赶跑了！怎么样？他们不敢再来阻拦我们了吧！” Hears the Anne excited inquiry, Rhodes nodded, then he looks to surrounding mercenary, started talking. 听到安妮兴奋的询问,罗德点了点头,接着他望向周围的佣兵,开口说道。 „Right, they agree to try again one time, I also think them to guarantee, this time we can certainly complete quest, defeats Ice Demon.” “没错,他们同意再试一次,我也想他们保证,这一次我们一定能够完成任务,击败冰魔。” „----!!” “哦————！！” Hears here, nearby mercenaries can't help but shouted loudly, their innermost feelings actually also had a resentment, although said the ideas of these people wrong not. However mercenary mostly flaunts the ominous combative disciple, in addition under training of Little Bubble Gum and Canary, one by one strength upgrade fast, is despised by the people that these lack the strength to truss up a chicken, they is also quite discontented. However others are weaponless, these mercenary also embarrassed roll up the sleeves to teach their but actually, making this group of people have a look at their fierce. Now Rhodes can help them solve this problem, naturally makes mercenaries extremely excited. 听到这里,旁边的佣兵们都不由的高呼起来,他们内心其实也是有股怨气,虽然说这些民众的想法没有错。但是佣兵大多都是逞凶好斗之徒,再加上在小小泡泡糖和金丝雀的训练之下,一个个实力提升的飞快,被这些手无缚鸡之力的民众小看,他们也是颇为不满。不过人家手无寸铁,这些佣兵倒也不好意思挽起袖子上去教训他们一下,让这群人看看他们的厉害。现在罗德能够帮助他们解决这个问题,自然让佣兵们万分兴奋。 However these mercenary are also innermost feelings secretly sets firm resolve at this moment, must make this crowd of hick experience their fierce in following quest, at that time, looked that they also do dare to look down on itself! 不过这些佣兵此刻也是内心暗暗下定决心,在接下来的任务中一定要让这群乡巴佬见识一下他们的厉害,到那个时候,看他们还敢不敢小瞧自己！ Sees oneself subordinate at present so excitedly, Rhodes has not said anything but actually again, but looked at their one eyes, afterward light started talking. 看见自己部下眼下如此的激动,罗德倒也没有再说什么,只是望了他们一眼,随后淡淡的开口说道。 „Today you rest well, tomorrow goes to Frozen Lake, I hope achievement that you have not forgotten to train.” “今天你们好好休息,明天前往冰封之湖,我希望你们没有忘记训练的成果。” Hears Rhodes' to order, mercenaries naturally is also loudly accordingly, then one by one turns around to leave, will prepare for the tomorrow's fight. Until sees them to diverge, Rhodes then shook the head, afterward has turned around to look to present Anne and Leiya. Then started talking. 听见罗德的命令,佣兵们自然也是轰然应声,接着一个个转身离开,为了明天的战斗而做好准备。直到看见他们散去,罗德这才微摇了摇头,随后转过身望向眼前的安妮和莉洁。然后开口说道。 „This time you come Frozen Lake, what news has to inquire?” “这次你们前来冰封之湖,有没有打听到什么消息？” This time goes to Frozen Lake, Rhodes has not taken all troops, but according to rule when game, group a 35 people of team, 30 people are used to cope with Ice Demon, the remaining five people are regarded as the substitution, to prevent to have accident/surprise. This is also difference of between Rhodes the game and reality with the aid of the small cheating method that makes. 这次前往冰封之湖,罗德并没有带上所有的人马,而是按照在游戏中时的规律,组了一个35人的团队,其中30人用来对付冰魔,剩下五人就当做是替补,同时也是为了防止发生意外。这也算是罗德借助游戏和现实之间的一点差异所作出的小小作弊手段吧。 Before then, since Rhodes has been very strange, why many native Mercenary Guild sent several hundred people to besiege BOSS, finally still flew back without any results. But in the game, player only needs ten people of 25 people almost to kill these BOSS. from the beginning, he also thinks that this is only because strength disparity between native and player, must therefore choose with the huge-crowd strategy achieves the goal. However now Rhodes discovered reason that the own wrong oddness, these Mercenary Group teams will be defeated continuously, besides the strength disparity between player and native, what is more important is the population how much. Mostly team Dungeon BOSS can some crowd-attack the skills, but is playing, because player the population is scarce, so long as prepares appropriately, avoids these groups to attack the skill not to be difficult. However native is different, their mostly strength was not strong, in addition closes, plans by the huge-crowd strategy elimination opposite party, actually instead BOSS trap. Must know that all attacks of most BOSS do not dare hardly anti- only to choose the avoidance player, these strength lower native naturally are goes to many dead many, ascends the sky their to be many again, wanting dodge not to have enough space, this casualty most, as the matter stands, wants to defeat these monster naturally is hard to ascend to heaven. Also because of this, after the quest conclusion of Parfield defense line, Rhodes led most people to return to Fortress then order Vivian first, only left behind few elite to go to Frozen Lake to complete this quest. Reason that this time has not made Vivian with coming , because the Rhodes plan trains the subordinate/hand independent ability. Vivian, Canary and Little Bubble Gum ability is strong, is his subordinate, in other words, if Rhodes has any mishap, then their these summoned object simultaneously will also vanish does not see. If depends upon them, regarding guild naturally is not a good deed. Therefore in order to trains the independent combat ability of oneself subordinate, this Rhodes returns to Fortress Vivian, does not have together with--- , if not Ice Demon level is too high, the level output (damage dealer) injury of oneself subordinate is too low, Rhodes does not even want to make a move personally. 在这之前,罗德一直以来都很奇怪,为什么很多原住民的佣兵公会都派了数百人去围攻一个BOSS,结果依然无功而返。而在游戏里,玩家则只需要十人25人就差不多可以干掉这些BOSS。一开始的时候,他还以为这只是因为原住民和玩家之间的实力差距,所以才要选择用人海战术来达成目标。不过现在罗德才发现自己错的离谱,那些佣兵团队之所以会连续失败,除了玩家和原住民之间的实力差距之外,更重要的还是人数的多寡。大多团队副本的BOSS都会一些群体攻击的技巧,而在游戏之中,玩家因为人数稀少,只要准备得当,避开那些群攻技巧并不困难。但是原住民却不同,他们本来大多实力不强,再加上一拥而上,打算以人海战术消灭对方,却反而中了BOSS的陷阱。要知道大多数BOSS的全体攻击可是连玩家都不敢硬抗只能够选择躲避,这些实力更低的原住民自然是去多少死多少,再加上天他们人数多,想要躲闪也没有足够的空间,这才死伤大半,这样一来,想要打败那些怪物自然是难以登天。也正因为如此,在帕菲尔德防线的任务结束之后,罗德就命令七恋先带着大部分人回要塞,只留下了很少一部分精锐前往冰封之湖来完成这个任务。之所以这次没有让七恋跟来,是因为罗德打算训练一下自己手下的独立能力。七恋,金丝雀和小小泡泡糖能力再强,也是他一个人的部下,换句话说,要是罗德有什么不测,那么她们这些召唤物也会同时消失不见。而如果只是依靠她们的话,对于公会来说自然不是件好事。所以为了能够锻炼自己部下的独立作战能力,这一次罗德才把七恋送回要塞,没有一起跟来———如果不是冰魔等级太高,自己部下的等级输出伤害太低,罗德甚至都不想亲自出手。 But inquired facing Rhodes', Leiya is also on the first half step, then in the surface appears a bitter color, afterward started talking. 而面对罗德的询问,莉洁也是上前半步,接着面上浮现出一丝苦色,随后开口说道。 „Mr. Rhodes, this time I indeed inquired some news be honest with you ......... That ice Demon Monster thing looks like as if the appearance that is difficult to come, according to the view of townspeoples, front Mercenary Guild has encircled several times, has not seen including the Ice Demon long anything appearance, I am worried......” “罗德先生,不瞒你说,这次我的确打听到了一些消息………那个冰魔怪物看起来似乎很难现身的样子,按照镇民们的说法,前面佣兵公会围剿了好几次,连冰魔长什么样子都没有看见,我担心……” „Does not need to be worried, Leiya.” “不用担心,莉洁。” Was worried facing Leiya's, Rhodes waved, what his Leiya said certainly is anything, is playing, entire Frozen Lake is the Dungeon map is, but this map actually like the general Dungeon map is not divide by levels, superficially, Frozen Lake is only one by the frozen lake surface, but mobs from ice surface continuous appearance, if cannot catch the knack and request, mercenaries basic cannot see including the BOSS shadow, will only be tired out from the press in continuous mobs--- do not say NPC, in player such stupid actually also has plenty of such people. 面对莉洁的担心,罗德挥了挥手,他当然莉洁说的是什么,在游戏之中,整个冰封之湖就是副本的地图所在,而这个地图却并不是像一般的副本地图那样是分层次的,从表面上来看,冰封之湖就只是一个被冰封的湖面,而小怪们则会从冰面上源源不断的出现,如果抓不到诀窍和要求的话,佣兵们根本连BOSS的影子都看不见,只会在源源不断的小怪中疲于奔命———不要说NPC了,玩家里这么蠢的其实也大有人在。 „This matter should ask expert to be solved, but I, had found one to awaken Ice Demon, and makes it have to stand with the expert who we fight.” “这种事情应该找专家来解决,而我,已经找到了一位能够唤醒冰魔,并且让它不得不站出来和我们战斗的专家。”
