The setting sunhas sunk, inhorizononlyotherextremelybroad, presentsnearbright of arcslightly.
夕阳已经下沉,地平线上仅余下一条极为宽广的、微微呈现出弧线的亮边。In the Ambershadowinterferesauxiliary , the partypersoncrossed the castleeast sidewallramparteasily, andarrived in the Viscount Andrewfortressthrougholdtowerinternalsteps.
在琥珀的暗影干涉辅助下,一行人轻而易举地翻过了城堡东侧的墙垒,并通过一座旧塔楼的内部阶梯抵达了安德鲁子爵的堡垒内部。Theyhidetaking advantage of the shield of shadowoncastle's second floorterrace, is overlookingunderemptycourtyardas well asin the courtyardoppositecorridor.
他们借着阴影的掩护躲在城堡二层的一处露台上,俯视着下面空荡荡的中庭以及在中庭对面的走廊。Thiscastle is like the AinzSouthern Regiongreat majorityaristocratfortress, hasapproximateassumes the square, moreoverstratifiedstructure, mostouter layeris a fence, insideoneis the surrounding and protectingarea that is formedby the horse stable, the servantroom, the junksroom and lanai, againinsideis by porch and Feudal Lord MansionDiXingchengresidential area, butinseveralregionsis built the heavy/thickchannel connectionby the sturdy constructionwall, variouscastleplaceshas the sentry postopenly or covertly, and peaks of fourcorners/hornshave the bell tower and beacon tower that arrowtowerandwarninguse.
这座城堡就和安苏南境的大多数贵族堡垒一样,有着大致呈正方形而且分层的结构,最外层是围墙,里面一层是由马厩、仆役房、杂物房以及外廊形成的拱卫区,再里面才是由内廊和领主府邸形成的居住区,而几个区域之间则由结构坚固墙垒厚重的通道连接,城堡各处都有或明或暗的哨位,并且四个角的最高点都有箭塔和预警用的钟楼、烽火台。Thisresidenceis not comfortable, itsmoststructuresseem likemilitaryfortress, butthisisbecauseduring that timeSouthern Regionresists the magic tideforefront, aspast the architectural styletookjust the recentseveral hundredyears of peacetime that traditiongenerations of spreadto cause, Southern Regionmanyplaceshas startedto transform, even ifwere not the wealthySoutharistocratalsostartsto studyis improvingownenvironmentlikeNortherner, evenlikedin the comfortablebrightmanor. Howeveris very obvious, Viscount Andrewis not the person who cares about the housing conditionsvery much: Hiscastlewas still maintaining the considerabledegree„classicalstyle”.
这种居所并不舒适,它的大部分结构看起来都像是个军事要塞,而这正是由于当年南境是抵挡魔潮的最前线,昔日建筑风格作为传统一代代流传下来所导致的只不过随着最近几百年的和平时光,南境不少地方已经开始转变,哪怕是不富裕的南方贵族也开始学着像北方人一样改良自己的居住环境,甚至更喜欢住在舒适明亮的庄园里。但是很显然,安德鲁子爵并不是一个很在意居住条件的人:他的城堡仍然维持着相当程度的“古典风格”。Butinsuchnearlymilitaryfortresscastle, Gawainhad not actually seen that manyshouldgo on patrol the guard who andstand guardeverywhere, courtyard of castlecenter is also deserted.
但在这样一座近乎军事要塞的城堡中,高文却没有看到多少本应该四处巡逻和站岗的守卫,就连城堡最中心的中庭也是空空荡荡。„Everywhereno one?”Amberstaredin a big way the eye, underlooks at, hershadowtalentletheralsoin the dimenvironmentcuriouslycleardifferentiatething, „, moreoverin the gardenseveralmonthsno onehas prunedprobably...... weedandbushlongcovered the roadquickly.”
“到处都没人?”琥珀瞪大了眼睛,好奇地看着下面,她的暗影天赋让她在昏暗的环境中也能清晰辨物,“而且庭院里好像好几个月都没人修剪过似的……杂草和灌木都长的快盖住路了。”Saidonsuch asAmber, castle's courtyardnot onlynobody left, but alsoexuberance of especiallyvariousplantalsogrowth, obviouslyseveraldays ago hereshouldbe the ordernormalsituation, butthis momentGawainsweeps, feelingthiscastleas ifhas actually left uncultivatedseveralmonths of even over oneyear, the luxuriantplantis growinginvariousplacesinsanely, coveredroad/s, covered the wall, even some vineshave crawled to the front door of Lordconstructionon.
就如琥珀所说,城堡的中庭不但空无一人,而且各处植物还生长的格外旺盛,明明直到几天前这里都应该是秩序正常的情况,但此刻高文一眼扫下去,却感觉这座城堡仿佛已经荒废了几个月甚至一年以上,繁茂的植物在各处疯长着,覆盖了道路,覆盖了墙壁,甚至有一些藤蔓已经爬到通向主建筑的大门上。„Byron, youhave not fully restored, waits forusGawainto turn headtobehindmiddle-agedKnightto sayhere”,„Idid keepthreetoyou‚crystalgrenade’self-defense, the usagehave remembered?”
“拜伦,你还没有完全恢复,就在这里等着我们”高文扭头对身后的中年骑士说道,“我给你留三个‘结晶手雷’防身,用法已经记住了吧?”Gray-hairedmiddle-agedKnightdid not turn the neckcomfortably: „Thistypewas regarded the feeling of burden is not good.”
头发花白的中年骑士不自在地扭了扭脖子:“这种被人当成累赘的感觉可不好。”Gawainsmiles, racketthisusuallyslightlysomeaccentKnightmistershoulderarmor: „Youhave made the great merit, moreoverbravebattle, Ihave not hopedat this timemyKnightloses one's lifebecause of the crudeness.”高文笑了笑,拍拍这个平常略有些不着调的骑士先生的肩铠:“你已经立下大功而且勇敢战斗过了,这种时候我可不希望自己的骑士因为鲁莽而送命。”WhatGawainthese words saying isfrom the bottom of one's heart, althoughhe is also secretridiculethismercenaryfamily background„non-mainstreamKnight”somefar-fetchedwords and deeds, butinthiseventByronhas truly shownenoughbraveness and firmness, hehas not neededto continueto drag the weakbodyto participate inadventureperhapsPhilipsuchKnightspiritespeciallyfirmpersonmeeting a muscleto followGawainbattleto arrive, butByronis notthisstodgyperson.高文这句话说的是发自肺腑,虽然他也暗暗吐槽过这个佣兵出身的“非主流骑士”有些不靠谱的言行,但这次事件中拜伦确实已经展现出足够的勇武和坚定,他已经没必要继续拖着虚弱的身体参与冒险或许菲利普那样骑士精神格外坚定的人会一根筋地跟着高文战斗到死,但拜伦不是这种迂腐的人。Thereforemiddle-agedKnightnods, receivedGawainto givehisthreegrenade, the complexionslightlyhaslookedcomplexfinethis„magic energymanufactured products”: „Perhaps...... thistype of thingcanlearnto use the children......”
所以中年骑士点了点头,接过高文递给他的三枚手雷,脸色略有复杂地看了看这精致的“魔能工业产品”:“啧啧……这种东西恐怕连小孩子都能学会用吧……”A moment later, Gawainpartytaking advantage ofeven moredimweathershield, has tracedcastle's courtyard.
片刻之后,高文一行已经借着愈发昏暗的天色掩护,摸进了城堡的中庭。Theyhave not seenanyguardall the way, has not actually seen the Evil Cultistlackeyormagic trap, thisbigfortressreallyhad been abandonedprobablygeneral, spacious, peaceful, strange.
一路上他们都没有见到任何守卫,却也没见到邪教徒的爪牙或者魔法陷阱,这座偌大的堡垒就好像真的已经被废弃一般,空旷,安静,诡异。Knight Philipholds the swordin the hand, followspeacefullyinGawainbehind, butis quickhisthenpeakpeaknose, lowers the sound saying: „Herehasevilaura.”菲利普骑士执剑在手,安安静静地跟在高文身后,但很快他便耸耸鼻子,压低声音说道:“这里有邪恶的气息。”Ambercould not bearlook atthisusually to seem somewhat stupidyoungKnightone: „Youshould the nextseconddo not shout‚Holy Lightthisis worth a war’thenflushingto cutyouevillyis notPaladin.”琥珀忍不住看了这个平素里看起来有些呆头呆脑的年轻骑士一眼:“你该不会下一秒就要喊着‘圣光啊这个邪恶值得一战’然后冲出去砍砍砍吧你又不是圣骑士。”„,”GawainbreaksAmberbbin a low voice, „do not forgetPhilipisKaielbeliever.”
“嘘,”高文低声打断琥珀的bb,“别忘了菲利普是凯尔的信徒。”Amberopened the eyeslightly, the pursing the lipslip of no longerspoke.琥珀微微张大了眼睛,紧接着抿起嘴唇不再吭声。Kaiel, God of Warriors and Knights, asWar God, the theogonyis the strengthis next toGod of Holy LightpowerfulGods, hesheltersallwarriorsandis being the warblessings, althoughis notGod of Holy Light, butinitsDivine Poweralsohas the resistanceto blaspheme, the detectionevilprestigeenergy, hisbelieverwhenwill seek forEvil Cultistto obtainextrain additionto hold, althoughcompared withlegitimateHoly LightPriestorPaladin, will also be much stronger than the average person.凯尔,战士与骑士之神,同时也身为战神,是正神谱系中力量仅次于圣光之神的强大神明,他庇护着所有的勇士并为战争赐福,尽管不是圣光之神,但其神力中也有对抗亵渎、侦测邪恶的威能,他的信徒在寻找邪教徒的时候将获得额外加持,虽然比不过正统的圣光牧师或圣骑士,但也比普通人强得多。ButPhilipisdevoutKaielbeliever, even if notPriest, hisirreverence can also lethimcompared withotherpersonkeenlyperceptiontoEvil Cultistaura that inthiscastleoccupies.
而菲利普是个虔诚的凯尔信徒,哪怕不是神官,他的虔诚也能让他比其他人更敏锐地感知到这座城堡中盘踞的邪教徒气息了。Gawaindoes not believeGods, naturallycannot obtain the Godsin additionto hold, buthisbodyis sounding the warningnaturally, hegrippedSword of the Pioneer, is staring atthesecoverflowers and plantsbushes and decorationtrees in courtyardvigilantly: „Theseplant growthsluxuriantly, have the issuemostly.”高文不信神明,自然也得不到神明的加持,但他的身体正在自然而然地发出警报,他握住了开拓者之剑,警惕地盯着中庭中的那些茂密花草灌木和装饰树:“这些植物生长得过于茂盛,多半有问题。”In the Pittmanhandis gripping a ironwoodseed, butdoes not dareto releaseanyDruidmagic spellto examine the surroundingsituationcompletelyat will: Caninduce to be the same torootcommon originAll Things Finally Die SocietyEvil Cultistonsuch ashimeasily, comesDruidEvil Cultistalsoto be ableinhisspell castingflashto inducehim, only iferupts the upfrontconflict, otherwisehedoes not dareeasilyto take risk.皮特曼手中攥着一把铁木种子,但完全不敢随意释放任何德鲁伊法术来检测周围的情况:就如他能轻而易举地感应到同根同源的万物终亡会邪教徒一样,出身德鲁伊的邪教徒也能在他施法的一瞬间感应到他,除非爆发正面冲突,否则他是绝不敢轻易冒险的。Theystartto pass through the garden, closes uptoward the castleLordconstruction of Viscount Andrew: Thereis the place that Evil Cultistis most likelyto hide.
他们开始穿过庭院,向着安德鲁子爵的城堡主建筑靠拢:那里是邪教徒最有可能藏匿的地方。Vaguedim„tissue”is coveringfourpeople of forms, Amberwalksin the teammost, with the shadowaffinitytalent of her bruterankforeveryonemakes the effect that the communitysneaksto havesuchto hangto compel the commonfellowto follow, Gawainwill not choosefor the time-savingtakes riskto submergethiscastledirectly.
一层若有若无的昏暗“薄纱”笼罩着四人的身影,琥珀走在队伍的最中间,用她那鬼畜级别的暗影亲和天赋为所有人制造群体潜行的效果要不是有这么个挂逼一般的家伙跟着,高文也不会选择为了节省时间而冒险直接潜入这座城堡。Sunhas dropped the horizoncompletely, the horizononlysameglowis gradually swalloweddark, the star lightstartsto reappear, butintime that the star lightpeeps, slightlycoolnight windhas blowncourtyard.
太阳已经完全落下地平线,天边仅余的一律辉光正逐渐被黑暗吞噬,星光开始浮现出来,而在星光初现的时刻,一股微凉的夜风吹过中庭。Thesecovers, as ifhas grownoneyear of plantto swingrecklesslyin the night wind, makessound, butinthatsound, seems combininginnumerablylow and deeptwittering.
那些茂密的、仿佛已经肆意生长了一年的植物在夜风中摇摆起来,发出唰啦唰啦的声响,而在那声响中,似乎混杂着无数低沉的呢喃。Amberhadgoosebumpsinstantaneously, becauseShadow Powerfallswith the nighteven morestrengthens, hervisionstartsto turn toward„extraordinary” the directiontransformation, enteredherviewin the daytimeneglectedthingsuddenly.琥珀瞬间起了一层的鸡皮疙瘩,而由于暗影力量随着夜幕降临愈发增强,她的视觉开始向着“超凡”的方向转化,一些在白天被忽略的东西突然进入了她的视野。Miss Half-Elffrightensalmostcalls out in alarm, howeverbeforeshemakes noise, Gawainhas held downhermouth.半精灵小姐吓的差点惊呼出来然而在她出声之前,高文已经一把按住她的嘴巴。„Ialsosaw.”Gawainsaidin a low voice.
“我也看见了。”高文低声说道。Incourtyard, underthatcoverprosperousplant, between the root hair and vine of thatrecklesslyspread, there is a thing.
在中庭里,在那茂密繁盛的植物下面,在那肆意蔓延的根须和藤蔓之间,有东西。
A recentbushis swingingin the night wind, itsrootemitted a palehand, thathandburiesin the soil, slightlyconvulsion;Innearbyweedfound outoneto be buried the mostface, the eye on thatfacepartlyopened the semi-closure, the disastroussplitlipstillin the opening and closing; A half a lifetimehalf deadoldoak treecrookedin the roadside, the tree rootsticks outswells the packagetogether, swellspackage of shapes to imitate, ifhead, an eyeexposesfrom the slits of bark, withered and yellowstiff, withoak treesamehalf a lifetimehalf dead......
最近的一株灌木在夜风中摇摆着,它的根部冒出了一只苍白的手,那只手埋在泥土中,微微痉挛;旁边的杂草中探出了一张被掩埋大半的面孔,那面孔上的眼睛半睁半闭,惨败干裂的嘴唇仍然在翕动;一株半生半死的老橡树歪在路旁,树根隆起一块肿包,肿包的形状仿若头颅,一双眼睛从树皮的缝隙之间暴露出来,枯黄僵硬,与橡树一样半生半死……Underentiregardenallplants, hasburiedHuman Racelimbs . Moreover the masters of theselimbsare obviously also living!
整个庭院所有的植物下面,都有着被掩埋的人类肢体,而且那些肢体的主人明显还活着!„The name of War God!”Knight Philipconstrains the soundto shoutin a low voice, „crazedbehavior!”
“战神之名啊!”菲利普骑士压抑着声音低声喊道,“何等丧心病狂的行为!”„Did thesepeople...... liveare dying?!”Amberdeeplyattractstwotones, after breaking offGawain's, bringsa faint traceto saypanic-strickenlow voice.
“这些人……活着还是死了?!”琥珀深吸两口气,掰开高文的手之后带着一丝丝惊恐小声说道。„Majority can also beis living, butwas very difficult saying that alsohow longcanlive,”Pittmanpinched tightly the seed that the preparation in handserved as the spell castingmaterial, „wecould not noticeno wonderanyguard...... they were all buriedwithattendantincourtyard!”
“大部分还能算是活着,但很难说还能活多久,”皮特曼捏紧了手中的准备用作施法材料的种子,“怪不得我们看不到任何守卫和侍从……他们全都被埋在中庭了!”„Carefuldo not contacttheseplants,”oldDruidalso added that „theywere the eye of thatEvil Cultist!”
“小心千万不要接触到这些植物,”老德鲁伊又补充道,“它们就是那个邪教徒的眼睛!”„What does Evil Cultistburythesepeoplemustmakehere?”Ambersuppressesis knitting the browsto saydisgustingly,„extractstheirvitalities?”
“邪教徒把这些人埋在这里是要做什么?”琥珀强忍着恶心皱眉说道,“抽取他们的生命力么?”„...... Perhapsis not,”Pittmanshakes the head, „extractionvitalityhas no need for such troublesomeceremony. Evil Cultistcontrolsthesepeopleinhalf a lifetimehalf dead, moreovermaintainstheirconsciousabsent-minded...... Ito suspect that heis extracting the thought of thesepeople.”
“……恐怕不是,”皮特曼摇摇头,“抽取生命力用不着这么麻烦的仪式。邪教徒把这些人控制在半生半死之间,而且维持他们的意识恍惚……我怀疑他是在抽取这些人的思想。”„Extractionthought?!”Amberis startled, „can All Things Finally Die Societyaccomplishthis?!”
“抽取思想?!”琥珀吃了一惊,“万物终亡会连这都能办到?!”„If copes withextraordinaryexpertso is not certainly easy, buttheseare the average people of nomagic spellresistance, oh,”Pittmansighedin a soft voice, „evidentlythatEvil Cultist, not onlywantsto killseveral people so simplehere, hehad the goal, heis collectingintelligence......”
“如果是对付超凡强者当然没这么容易,但这些都是毫无法术抵抗能力的普通人,唉,”皮特曼轻声叹息,“看样子那个邪教徒不只是想在这里杀几个人那么简单,他是有目的的,他在搜集情报……”During the speeches, the peoplehad passed throughin the extremecautioussituationcourtyard that proliferates the crazyplant, before arriving at the porchtocastleLordhall, the frontisoneleafunlatched the oakfront door, onthatoakfront door, inscribesLeslie Familycrest.
说话间,众人已经在极端小心翼翼的情况下穿过了遍布疯狂植物的中庭,来到通往城堡主厅的门廊前,面前是一扇虚掩着的橡木大门,在那橡木大门上,铭刻着莱斯利家族的徽记。Increst seems flowing the blood, dark redshines.徽记中仿佛流淌着鲜血,暗红发亮。Gawainhas not contacted that obviously not normaldoorwith the handdirectly, butpromotes the front doorwithSword of the Pioneer, itsshoves openquietlyslowly, laterhehitsextremelyvigilantly, takes the leadto take a stepto bridge over.高文没有直接用手去接触那明显不正常的门扉,而是用开拓者之剑推动大门,将其悄无声息地缓缓推开,随后他打起十二万分警惕,率先迈步跨过。Butbridges over the flash of front doorinhisfootsteps, does not knowfrom wherecomes, sweeps acrossnoisychaosto the unendurablenoisesuddenly!
而就在他脚步跨过大门的一瞬间,一阵不知从何而来的、嘈杂混乱到让人难以忍受的噪音突然席卷而来!Thatfeelingseems like10,000soundssimultaneouslyin the earcrack, 10,000individualssimultaneouslyinearyells, 10,000types of chaosincrediblemusical instrumentssimultaneouslyinearplays, ortwodrankhighAmberinearblindbb......
那感觉就好像有一万种声音同时在耳边炸响,有一万个人同时在耳边喊叫,有一万种混乱荒诞的乐器同时在耳边演奏,或者有两个喝高了的琥珀在耳边瞎bb……Gawainfelt that ownbody seems to be rusty, transfersunderonecontinuallybecomesespeciallydifficultslow, moreoverhesoonthendiscovered that thesenoisysoundsdo not come from the outside world, butfromhis ownmindinthatmaddeningsound, hesawat presentspreadscastlecorridorall of a sudden of dark redrugto be elongated, two sidesthatis hanging the wall that the Leslie Familyall previous generationsancestorpaints a portraitalsoto retreatto the infinitefarplacefast, in all directionssuddenlybecomesincomparablybroad, but the darkstarry skyreplacedincastle the originalscene.高文感觉自己的身体仿佛生锈,连转一下头都变得格外艰难缓慢,而且他很快便发现那些嘈杂的声响并非来自外界,而是来自他自己的脑海在那令人发狂的声音中,他看到眼前铺着暗红色地毯的城堡走廊一下子被拉长,两边那悬挂着莱斯利家族历代先祖画像的墙壁也向无限远的地方飞快退去,四面八方骤然变得无比宽广,而黑暗的星空则取代了城堡里原有的景象。Thesechaosnoisesmix a clearsoundfinally, itis roaringunceasingly: „Myriad thingswill perishfinally! The myriad thingswill perishfinally! The myriad thingswill perishfinally!”
那些混乱的噪声终于混合成一个清晰可辨的声音,它在不断吼叫着:“万物终将灭亡!万物终将灭亡!万物终将灭亡!”HoweveralthoughGawaincoversby the noise and illusion, heactuallydiscovered that oneselfthoughtexceptionallyis unexpectedly clear, thatforms a howlingto transmitclearly, inhismindeven can also cannot help butjump a veryclearidea: „Right, because ofentropy production, how?”
然而高文虽然被噪声和幻象笼罩,他却发现自己的思维竟然异常清晰,那汇成一片的吼叫声清清楚楚地传来,他脑海中甚至还能不由自主地蹦出个挺清楚的想法:“对啊,因为熵增,怎么了?”„Myriad thingsfinally......”
“万物终将……”Gawainhas not respondedwhat's the matter, thatcrazy the illusion of noiseanddarkstarry skyhas then stopped suddenly, vanish like smoke and disperse like clouds.高文还没反应过来怎么回事,那疯狂的噪声与黑暗星空的幻象便已经戛然而止,烟消云散。
