寒冬的白雪覆盖了黑色的山脉,从窗口向外望去,可以看见白茫茫的一片。罗德站在窗前,注视着正在从天上飘落而下的雪花,身后不远处的壁炉里散着火焰燃烧的噼啪声和温暖的气息,接着他转过身来,望着坐在自己书桌前的黑男子,和一般法师宽大的外套有所不同,这个法师所穿的则是紧身的法袍。手腕被紧紧束起,便于行动。而在他的腰间,则悬挂着一柄非常奇特的长剑————它的剑柄非常之长,几乎有魔杖一半的长度,而剑刃却是非常之短,只比短剑长出那么一截,这正是战法团的独特武器。它的设计保证了这些法师不但可以施展法术,同时还能够使出充满威胁的剑术技巧。„Iknow that youare separated from the Mage Associationreason, Mr.Bestor, Battle Mage Groupancestortoseek** the unionwithmagicchoosesallpeoplehave not imagined the path, hethinks that the soulsourceis consistent, magicorsword technique are the same, butdisplays the shapeto differ from.

“我知道你们脱离法师协会的原因,贝斯特先生,战法团的先祖为了寻求**与魔法的结合而选择了一条所有人都没有想象过的道路,他认为灵魂的本源是一致的,无论是魔法还是剑术都是一样,只是表现形态有所不同。他渴望能够将这两者结合,并且形成一种新的派系。他差一点儿就成功了,如果不是因为创世战争的爆,让人遗憾的是,战法团的先祖们并没有能够在那场旷日持久的战争之中坚持到最后,他们先后离去,战法团也经过了激烈的动荡。而也正因为如此,战法团之中集合了先祖的知识与智慧结晶的那柄法杖也在这世间消失了踪影。那里面记录着战法团的创造者格兰.贝罗斯的知识以及他对于灵魂之法通向本源之路的认识。也正因为如此,在那之后,战法团一直在四处寻找这柄法杖,渴望重现过去的荣光,但是很可惜的是,你们一直都没有找到。”Hears the Rhodes'speech. Blackmaleeyebrow raised, hisentirehuman formjavelinstraightsittingon the chair, thatimposing mannermakeshimlook likegenerallyis more likestricts enforcement of orders and bansdo not dare not obeysoldier, butis notoneglances through the booksin the libraryall dayMage.

听到罗德的说话。黑男子挑了下眉头,他整个人像标枪一般笔直的坐在椅子上,那气势让他看起来更像是一个令行禁止莫敢不从的军人,而不是一个整天在图书馆里翻阅书籍的法师。他就那样坐在椅子上,双眼直盯盯的注视着罗德,整个人散着一股肃穆的气息。„AfterreceivingLord Siryourletter, Iknow that youhad certainly knownaboutourBattle Mage Grouphistory, buthas not thoughtyouunderstandunexpectedlywas so detailed, tells the sentencetruth. Ievensomewhatsuspected that you are also the Battle Mage Groupmember.”
“在接到领主大人您的信件之后,我就知道您一定对我们战法团的历史有所了解,但是没有想到你了解的居然这么详细,说句实话。我甚至都有些怀疑您也是战法团的成员。”„IcannotjoinBattle Mage Group, butIindeedwithsomeBattle Mage Grouporigins.”
“我并没有能够加入战法团,但是我的确和战法团有些渊源。”Facing the speech of Bestor, Rhodesis neither arrogant nor servile, the surfaceloyaltydoes not jumphas made the reply.
面对贝斯特的说话,罗德不卑不亢,面不红心不跳的做出了回答。„Just likeIsaidin the letter, IknowBattle Mage Grouphas wantedto seek‚Soul Road’staffis. HoweverI have mycondition............”
“正如我在信中所说的,我知道战法团一直想要寻找的‘灵魂之路’法杖的所在。但是我也有我的条件…………”„Joinsyourarmy, becomesyoursubordinate?”
“加入您的军队,成为您的部下?”
The Rhodes'wordshave not said,thenopened the mouthto breakbyBestor, hisboth handsplaceson the knee, raised the head, intwoeyeshas been full of the sharpbrilliance.罗德的话还没有说完,便被贝斯特开口打断,他双手放在膝盖上,抬起头来,两只眼睛中充满了锐利的光辉。„SinceyourhistorytoourBattle Mage Groupis clear, thenIthink that you should also know. Lord Sir, ourBattle Mage Grouphas sought the truthduring the fightwitharrival of glory, the skeleton that alsobecause of this, wecanmovewiththeseinEastern Mountainhas foughtthese manyyears. Althoughwehad not given upto the search of staff. Howeverhas not actually obtainedanyclue, butnow, whatevidenceyoucanproduceto proveyouindeedknow‚Soul Road’site?”
“既然您对我们战法团的历史非常清楚,那么我想您也应该知道。领主大人,我们战法团一直都是在战斗之中寻求真理与荣耀的降临,也正因为如此,我们才会在东方山原之中与那些会动的骨头架子战斗了这么多年。虽然我们一直没有放弃对法杖的搜寻。但是却从来没有获得过任何线索,而现在,你又能够拿出什么证据来证明你的确知道‘灵魂之路’的所在地?”Facing the Bestoraggressiveinquiry, the look in Rhodessurfacehas not actually changed.
面对贝斯特咄咄逼人的询问,罗德面上的神色却是没有丝毫改变。„Ido not need the evidence. Ionlyneed a commitment.”
“我不需要证据。我只需要一个承诺。”„Commitment?”
“承诺?”Hearshere, frowning of Bestorsomewhat uncertain. Hedoes not understandanymedicine that actuallyin the Rhodes'bottle gourdto sell.
听到这里,贝斯特有些疑惑的皱起眉头。他不明白罗德的葫芦里究竟卖的什么药。„Right, commitment. Mr.Bestor, Icantellyounow‚Soul Road’ the sitesandthereallsituations.........”saidhere, Rhodesput out a handinto the bosom, thenput out the paper that was folded. „.........Butyougreatlycanlead the Battle Mage Groupmemberto go tothereto seek. Myonlyrequestis, ifBattle Mage Groupsought forthatstaff, thenIhope that youcanjoinmyarmy, becamemysubordinate, gave loyalty toforme, foughtforme. Iwill not crack a jokewithmyself, myalsoveryclearBattle Mage Groupbattle efficiency, Mr.Bestor, moreoveryouthought,Icalledhereyoufrom afar, formaking fun of?”
“没错,承诺。贝斯特先生,我现在就可以告诉你‘灵魂之路’的所在地和那里的一切情况………”说道这里,罗德伸手入怀,接着拿出一张被折叠起来的纸张。“………而你则大可以带着战法团的成员前往那里去寻找。我唯一的要求就是,如果战法团寻找到了那柄法杖,那么我希望你们能够加入我的军队,成为我的部下,为我效忠,为我战斗。我不会拿自己开玩笑,我也很清楚战法团的战斗力,贝斯特先生,而且你觉得,我千里迢迢把你叫到这里,就是为了寻开心的么?”Spokethese words, Rhodeshas then placedonthatsheet of paper the table. ButBestorsilentlong time, heis staring at the presentparchment, is silent.
说完这句话,罗德便将那张纸放在了桌子上。而贝斯特则沉默半晌,他盯着眼前的羊皮纸,沉默不语。
Different withhaving no way outDevil Hunter Team, Battle Mage Groupinveryis comfortable, just likein factRhodes that inEastern Mountainlives said that although the Battle Mage Groupessential targetseeks forSoul Road Staff, buttheyhad not forgotten that Battle Mage Groupglory, thatunifies the bodyandsoul powerthrough the endlessfight, thusinquired into that the unsurpassedsoulmysteryis. It can be said that if notinthisRhodes'letterexplicitlyexpressed that hewill have the clueaboutSoul Road, Battle Mage Groupsimplywill not send forleavingEastern Mountain, will arrive atLand of Redemption and Rhodesface-to-face talk.
和走投无路的狩魔猎队不同,战法团在东方山原内生活的非常自在,事实上正如罗德所说,虽然战法团的主要目标是寻找灵魂之路法杖,但是他们并没有忘记战法团的荣耀,那就是通过无尽的战斗将身体与灵魂之力统一起来,从而探究无上灵魂的奥秘所在。可以说,如果不是这一次罗德的信中明确表示他有关于灵魂之路的线索,战法团根本就不会派人离开东方山原,来到赎罪之地和罗德面谈。LooksBestor that is silent, Rhodeshas not saidanything, heknows certainly that at present the Battle Mage Groupsituation, brushesprestigeasMoon Dukedom to player of worship, the Rhodesevery large or smallanythinginfluencehas had to dohere, heknows certainly that theseinfluenceshaveanyweakness and characteristics. Passed throughthese manyyears, seeks forSoul Road Staff is not only retrieves a lostDivine Artifactto be so simpleregardingBattle Mage Group, theyhave regarded as the symbol of oneselfunsurpassedbeliefthis. ThereforeRhodesaffirmed that Battle Mage Groupwill certainly swallow the bait.
看着沉默不语的贝斯特,罗德也并没有多说什么,他当然知道眼下战法团的情况,作为一个穆恩公国内把声望刷到崇拜的玩家,罗德在这里大大小小什么势力都打过交道,他当然知道那些势力都有什么弱点和特征。经过了这么多年,寻找灵魂之路法杖对于战法团来说已经不仅仅是寻回一件遗失的神器这么简单,他们更是把这看成了自己无上信仰的标志。所以罗德肯定战法团一定会上钩的。Sure enough, ina moment later, Bestorraised the headfinally, toRhodesslightly nodded.
果不其然,在片刻之后,贝斯特终于抬起头来,对罗德微微点了点头。„Does not have the issue, Lord Sir. Ifyoucanhelpusseek forSoul Road, then, ourBattle Mage Groupis willingto fightforyou, tillourthoroughdestruction.”
“没问题,领主大人。如果您真的能够帮助我们寻找到灵魂之路,那么,我们战法团愿意为您而战,直到我们彻底毁灭为止。”„That, transactionestablishment.”
“那么,交易成立。”Heard the reply of Bestor, in the Rhodeseyehas shownseveralpoints of happy expression, afterwardheput out a hand, advanced the body of Bestor , before thatsheet of paper. ButBestordoes not haveslightpoliteness, thisdirectlytakes the paper, afterwardopens. Carefulis watching the abovecontent. However, looked attwolinesmerely, in the Bestortranquilfacehad revealedimmediately the shockingfacial expression, heraised the headonce more, does not darebelievewas looking atRhodes.
听到贝斯特的回答,罗德眼中露出了几分笑意,随后他伸出手,将那张纸推到了贝斯特的身前。而贝斯特也没有丝毫的客气,就这样直接拿过纸,随后打开。仔细的观看着上面的内容。但是,仅仅只是看了两行,贝斯特本来平静的面孔上顿时显露出了震惊的神情,他再次抬起头来,不敢相信的望着罗德。„Lord Sir, this.....................”
“领主大人,这…………………”„Icanguarantee the authenticity of eachcharacteronmewrites, if not believe that youcangoto experimentgreatly.”
“我可以保证我上面所写的每一个字的真实性,如果不相信你们大可以自己前去试验。”Rhodesknows certainly that Bestorsowill be why surprised, becausewriteson the paperinhim, is the Soul Road StaffsiteDungeoncapturingrhythm. Including the place within them, the route, will haveanymonsteras well asBOSSweaknessRhodespurity that enumerates. RegardingBestor, thisnaturallyquitesurprisedwithaccident/surprise, in his originallytranquileyepupil. Firsttimeappearedseveralpoints of surpriseduncertainexpression, howregardless ofbecauseheimagined, familiaractuallyBestordoes not knowRhodeswhytothereso.罗德当然知道贝斯特为什么会这么惊讶,因为在他在纸上所写的,正是灵魂之路法杖所在地副本的攻略节奏。包括其中的位置,路线,会有什么怪物以及boss的弱点罗德都在其中列举的一清二楚。对于贝斯特来说,这自然是相当的惊讶和意外,他那本来平静的眼眸之中。第一次浮现出了几分惊疑不定的表情,因为无论他如何想象,贝斯特也不知道罗德究竟为什么对那里会如此的熟悉。„Lord Sir, isthis............Howyouare...............”
“领主大人,可是这…………您是怎么……………”„Thisisbusinessis secret, Mr.Bestor, I can only guarantee the authenticity that onthiswrites, howknowsas forme. Youdo not needto know.”
“这是商业机密,贝斯特先生,我只能够保证这上面所写的真实性,至于我是如何知道的。你没有必要知道。”„............Iunderstood, Lord Sir.”
“…………我明白了,领主大人。”HearsRhodes'to reply,Bestorstands up, although said that whenarrives atLand of Redemption. Bestoris holding the mood that gives a try, butnow, hechangedoneselfidea. All that ifRhodeswriteson the paperreal, thenthisyoungLordwill certainly not thinklikeoneselfis so simple. Althoughcarelesslyhas looked. HoweverBestorhad not suspectedinformationtruth that Rhodesprovides, becauseondescriptionaccording tothissheet of paper. Hecanseeinformation that only thenBattle Mage Groupcanknow.

Moreover, depending onthis point, Bestorsuspected that the Rhodes'status is very possibleto conceal———, althoughheknowsRhodesoriginEastern Mountain, even ifinEastern Mountain, generalNoblealsoandnot very clearBattle Mage Grouphistory. All theseareoutward the strictsecurity, do not say that at present, isinformation that only then the Battle Mage Grouphigh level that onthissheet of paperwritessomequalificationsknow. Currently speaking, eitherwas some Battle Mage Grouphigh-levelpeoplebetrays, leaked the secret. EitherwasthisyoungLordandonceBattle Mage Grouphas the considerablecloserelation.
听到罗德的回答,贝斯特站起身来,虽然说在来到赎罪之地的时候。贝斯特只是抱着试试看的心情,但是现在,他已经改变了自己的想法。如果罗德在纸上所写的一切都是真的,那么这个年轻的领主一定不会像自己所想的那么简单。虽然只是草草看过。但是贝斯特已经不怎么怀疑罗德所提供的信息的真伪,因为按照这张纸上的描述。他可以看见很多只有战法团内部才能够知道的信息。这种东西不是光靠对战法团的了解就可以编造出来的。而且,光凭这一点,贝斯特就怀疑罗德的身份很可能有所隐瞒———虽然他知道罗德出身东方山原,可是即便是在东方山原里,一般的贵族也并不太清楚战法团的历史。这一切都是对外严格保密的,更不要说眼下在这张纸上所写的,都是只有战法团高层才有资格知道的情报。从这一点来看,要么就是战法团高层有人背叛,泄露了秘密。要么就是这个年轻的领主和曾经的战法团有着相当密切的联系。Regardless ofwhichtype, Bestoris unable to maintaintranquil. Hetakesthatsheet of paper, treating a matter seriouslyputs in it the bosom, afterwardrespectfulthenturns aroundto leavetoRhodesgave a bow.
无论哪一种,贝斯特都无法保持平静。他拿过那张纸,郑重其事的将其放入怀中,随后恭敬的向罗德行了一礼便转身离开。Bestorgoing outFortresshurriedlyfromout of the window, rides a horse the back that leaves, in the Rhodeseyeappearedseveralpoints of happy expression, hecandetermine,Battle Mage Groupthesetimeswallowed the baitthoroughly.
从窗外看着贝斯特急匆匆的走出要塞,骑马离开的背影,罗德眼中浮现了几分笑意,他可以确定,战法团这一次彻底上钩了。Butatthis time, the dooropened, afterwardRhodesheard the Marlenesoundto resoundinown.
而就在这个时候,房门打开,随后罗德听见玛琳的声音在自己的身后响起。„Rhodes, is the situationwhat kind of?”
“罗德,情况怎么样?”„Allsmooth, Marlene.”
“一切顺利,玛琳。”Hears the inquiry of Marlene, Rhodeshas turned aroundto look at the presentyoung girl, shrugs the shoulders. ButMarleneiscomplexionsomewhatcomplexlooks atRhodes, whywantsDevil Hunter TeamandBattle Mage GroupaboutRhodesjoins, Marleneobtained the Rhodes'explanation. Howeverthismakes the young girl unable to accept, sheis unable to understand that RhodesasLord, whymusthandle such dangerousmatter.

ButRhodesnowisRegion Lord, hisbodyis nothis, in the event ofanyaccident/surprise, means that allwill be thoroughdestruction. Therefore, MarleneopposesregardingRhodes'thisrisktactic.
听到玛琳的询问,罗德转过身望着眼前的少女,耸耸肩膀。而玛琳则是面色有些复杂的看着罗德,关于罗德为什么要狩魔猎队和战法团加入,玛琳已经得到过罗德的解释。但是这却让少女非常不能够接受,她根本无法理解罗德作为一个领主,为什么非要做这么危险的事情。在少女看来,率领一队精英深入敌后的危险性比率领大军攻坚的危险性要高多了。而罗德现在又是一方领主,他的身体已经不是他自己一个人的,一旦出现了什么意外,就意味着一切都会彻底毁灭。因此,玛琳对于罗德的这种冒险战术是非常反对的。„Idid not approve that yourprocedure, Rhodes, the way of thisriskis notLord, a Noblebehavior.”
“我还是不赞成你的做法,罗德,这种冒险的方式不是一个领主,一个贵族所为。”„But to win, wemustsuchdo, Marlene. If failed, thenwe can also be killedsimilarly, myterritorysamewill be burnt down, mypeoplesamewill be slaughtered, butIwill be also sameam killed, ifweare unable to win, then the resultwill change never.”
“但是如果想要获得胜利,我们就必须要这么做,玛琳。如果失败的话,那么我们也会同样丧命,我的领地一样会被焚烧,我的子民一样会被屠杀,而我自己也一样会被人杀死,如果我们无法获得胜利,那么结局是永远不会改变的。”„But.........I am worried.........”
“可是………我还是很担心………”
Here, Marlenearrived atat Rhodes' side, stretched outhandles gentlyholds down the Rhodes'chest.
说到这里,玛琳走到罗德的身边,伸出手轻按住罗德的胸膛。„Do youthinkreallylike this? Rhodes?”
“你真的觉得这样好吗?罗德?”„Relax, Marlene, Iwill not be defeated.”
“放心吧,玛琳,我是不会失败的。”Facing the question that the young girlis worried about, Rhodesputs out a hand, is touching the young girlsoftcheek, afterward, helowered the head. ( to be continued )
面对少女担心的疑问,罗德伸出手去,抚摸着少女柔软的面颊,随后,他低下了头。(未完待续)
