Inthisbarbaricbackwardworld, „law”itis not the attractiveandfairthing......佣兵是合法的,甚至有着正式的行会和一套粗糙的登记制度,但几乎每一个佣兵都做过不合法的事情,可是这又如何呢?在这个野蛮落后的世界,“法律”本身也不是什么光鲜而公正的东西……According tonews that the scoutfeeds, hadabout20well-equippedmercenaryto stare atthatrefugeeliving area that hadover a hundredpopulation, moreoverhadat leastthreelow rankKnightandonetotwomageassumes personal command, even if others did not have the professionrank, combat power should also surpass the ordinarysoldier, thistype„elitehuddled together”mercenarygroupinthistradereallyrare, caused the Gawainenormouscuriosity and suspicion, toexterminatethesenotaccording tocustommercenary, GawainorderedKnight Philipto organize the armies of 30peoplerapidly, andpreparedto leadpersonally„going to battle”.
根据探子传回的消息,有大约二十名装备精良的佣兵盯上了那个有上百人口的流民聚居点,而且其中有至少三名低阶的骑士和一到两名法师坐镇,其他人哪怕不具备职业等级,战斗力也应该超过普通的士兵,这种“精锐扎堆”的佣兵团在这个行当里着实罕见,也引起了高文极大的好奇和怀疑,而为了剿灭这些不按规矩来的佣兵,高文迅速命令菲利普骑士组织起了三十人的部队,并准备亲自带队“出征”。Whereno matterthesemercenaryfromcome, theyare threateningrefugee on thislands, threatens the Cecil territoryfuturepopulationsafeguard, Gawainwill not allowthissituationto develop- thatmaybelabour force!
不管那些佣兵是从哪来的,他们都在威胁这片土地上的流民,也就是威胁塞西尔领未来的人口保障,高文可不允许这种情况发展下去-那可都是劳动力!ButLegendary Knightleads30completeequipmentCecilbattlesoldiersto cope with20mercenary, this seems a little makes a fuss over a trifling matter, butGawainhasownintention:
而一个传奇骑士带着三十个全副武装的塞西尔战斗兵去对付二十个佣兵,这看起来有点小题大做,可高文却有自己的用意:New generation who that30completeequipmentCecilbattlesoldieralljustcompleted the replacement„magicalinfantry”-, inMachine Building the machinethunders, firstbatch of standardmagicalequipmenthas gone down the production line, 30soldiersequippedbrand-newheat-ray gun and magic energybattlebackpack, and conducted the fire and coordination of foundationtrains, thisis a quiteshyarmy, even ifin the memberhashalfis a veteran, theyare the experienceare also superficialon the modern weapon, butGawainbelieves that thesedefinitelycompared with the traditionalsoldierhavecombat poweron the newsoldier who canpew pewonesend the high-energylight beamconveniently, thereforehemust. Thesesoldiersdrawtoreal combatinexamine.
那三十个全副武装的塞西尔战斗兵全都是刚刚完成换装的新一代“魔导步兵”-在机械制造所的机器轰鸣中,第一批制式的魔导武装已经走下生产线,三十名士兵装备了全新的热能射线枪和魔能战斗背包,并进行了基础的射击和配合训练,这是一只相当青涩的部队,哪怕成员中有一半都是老兵,他们在新武器上也是经验浅薄的,但高文相信这些随手就能biu一发高能光束的新型战士绝对比传统士兵更有战斗力,所以他要把这些士兵拉到实战中检验。30„the magicalinfantry”building upsouth bank ofClearwater River, is usedto communicate the temporary bridges of riversboth banksbehindthemfinisheda short time agotemporarily, butcitizens that hears the newsto catch up with- entersFeudal Territory, not to obtain the free citizenstatusincludingthesenewlyserfandslave laborer- gathersin the , curiouslylooks atthisonlyinentirely differentarmywiththeirimpression.
三十名“魔导步兵”集结在白水河南岸,在他们背后是前不久才完工的、临时用于沟通河流两岸的渡桥,而闻讯赶来的领民们-包括那些新进入领地、还未获得自由民身份的农奴与奴工-都聚拢在附近,好奇地看着这只与他们印象中大不相同的军队。Thesesoldiersput onorderly, attaches the foundationto strengthenmagicenchantmentlightarmor, the left hand of eachsoldieris wearing a modelingunusualsteelarm guard, but the backcarriedto replacenew generationflintyCombat Infantry Pack of traditionalmarchingpouch, the enchantmentlong sword and spareswordfixeswith the ironbucklesidetheirwaists and backpacks, was seemingly powerful.
那些士兵穿着整齐的、附有基础强化魔法的附魔轻甲,每个士兵的左手都佩戴着一只造型奇特的钢铁护臂,而背后则背着取代了传统行军囊的新一代硬质作战背包,附魔长剑和备用剑用铁扣固定在他们的腰间以及背包侧面,看起来威风凛凛。Gawaindrilledthesesoldiersto be very longwith the tight rein and award and punishmentsystem, buttheyalsoknow that canbe the firstbatch„the magicalinfantry”is a specialglory, thereforetheirone by onestoodat this momentstraightly, even if the biggroup of civiliansbringin the distant place the vision that admired and exclamationdirectedtohere, theyno onewas also excessive.高文用严格的纪律和赏罚制度操练了这些士兵很久,而他们自己也知道能作为第一批“魔导步兵”是一种特殊的荣耀,所以此刻他们一个个都站得笔直,哪怕有一大堆平民在远处带着艳羡和惊叹的目光对这边指指点点,他们也没有一个人偏过头去。Knight Philipwalks up: „Lord, the soldier and suppliesmotorcadehave built up, canmomentarilyset off.”菲利普骑士走上前来:“大人,士兵和补给车队已经集结完毕,随时可以出发了。”Gawainnods, looked around Amber- thistimebesidesAmberandPhiliptwo people, hedoes not havebelt/bringmorepeople, hebelieves that 30magicalinfantries, in additiononeselfbringing up the rear, only20mercenarycannot raise the bigstorm: „We......”高文点点头,看了一眼旁边的琥珀-这次除了琥珀与菲利普两人之外,他没有带更多人,他相信有三十名魔导步兵在,再加上自己的压阵,区区二十来个佣兵掀不起多大风浪:“那我们就……”Hehas not said,suddenlydiscoveredin the civilians in distant placehadsometumultsfaintly, has the sound of bigvoiceto transmitfrom the crowd: „Made, making...... thankHoly Lightto bestowmyspatial...... Holy Lightyouto step onmyfoot...... to makethank, lookedin the Holy Lightface......”
他还没说完,就突然发现远处的平民中隐隐有了一些骚动,有个大嗓门的声音从人堆里传来:“让一让,让一让……感谢圣光赐我个空儿……圣光啊您踩我脚了……让一下谢谢了,看在圣光的面子上……”Gawainsawstartled the crowdseparatesfrom the middle, thenthatSchwarzeneggerMissionarynamedWrightdashesis runningtohere.高文愕然地看到人堆从中间分开,然后那个名叫莱特的施瓦辛格型传教士一路飞奔着跑向这边。Hewearsthatworn-outHoly LightPriestlong gown, not good -fittinglong gowna littlepastedtighton the body, the whole bodymusclelinealmosthidesto rousefrom the long gownfreelywithplanningto look forseveralheathenperish together.
他穿着那身破旧的圣光牧师长袍,不太合身的长袍有点紧绷地贴在身上,浑身的肌肉线条几乎都掩藏不住地从长袍下面鼓了出来-看着就跟打算去找几个异教徒同归于尽似的。„Holy Light! Before Icame......”Wrightto run up to the army, looks uptoridinginimmediatelyGawain, butjustsaidhow manycharacterswere shockedimmediately, „wasyou? Youare not...... on the work siteare in charge?”
“圣光啊!我来……”莱特跑到了部队前,抬头看向骑在马上的高文,但刚说了几个字就顿时愣住,“是你?你不是……工地上管事的么?”BecausewithoutobtainingGawain'spermitted,so manydaysno onetoldthisMissionaryobstinately, Feudal Lord of thislandswasthissatwithhimin the giant who the brickpiled upto chaton the same daytogether......
因为没有得到高文的许可,这么多天了愣是没人告诉这位传教士,这片土地的领主就是这个当日跟他一起坐在砖垛上唠嗑的大个子……Gawainhas not thought that will meetwith the opposite partyin this caseagain . Moreover the statuscould not keep, thereforenodswith smile on the face: „Ihad not deceivedyouat that time, Itrulyamonthislandsis in chargeFeudal Lordis also effective, not?”高文也没想到会在这种情况下跟对方再次见面,而且身份还藏不住,于是面带微笑地点了点头:“我当时可没骗你,我确实是这片土地上管事的-领主也算管事的,不是么?”„Holy Light! Are youthislandsFeudal Lord?! Inthatlegendby the unfilialoffspringair/QijumpsGawain Cecil that from the coffin?!”Wrightcalls out in alarmone, is drawingGod of Holy Lightsymbolwith the handin the chest front, „Ialsothink that you are a labor contractor!”
“圣光啊!你是这片土地的领主?!那个传说中被不肖子孙气的从棺材里蹦出来的高文·塞西尔?!”莱特惊呼一声,用手在胸前画着圣光之神的符号,“我还以为你是大工头!”Gawain: „......”高文:“……”NearbyKnight Philipall of a suddenpulled out the sword: „Missionary! Pays attention toyourwords and deeds! No......”
旁边的菲利普骑士唰一下子就把剑拔了出来:“传教士!注意你的言行!否……”„cough cough,”Gawainhurries the duelrequest that will blockPhilipsoonto send out, „should not be excited, this...... myduring that timeletone of rumoreditionsByrondisseminated......”
“咳咳,”高文赶紧挡住了菲利普即将发出的决斗要求,“别激动,这……还是我当年让拜伦传播出去的流言版本之一呢……”Ambershows the whites of the eyes: „Frombehaving badly, laterrefers to some uncertainalsomanyfolkeditions continue ferment.”琥珀翻了个白眼:“自作孽了吧,以后指不定还有多少民间版本继续发酵呢。”Philip&Gawain: „......”菲利普&高文:“……”Awkwarda moment later, Gawainhas toshifteveryoneattention, helookstoWright: „Sorry the firstmeetingtimehas not toldyoumyrealstatus, Iwantto chatwithyouasaverage person, is goodto understandClergyman of thistime.”
尴尬片刻之后,高文不得不转移大家注意力,他看向莱特:“很抱歉第一次见面的时候没有告诉你我的真实身份,我只是想以普通人的身份跟你谈谈,好了解一下这个时代的神职者。”„As can be appreciated, thisis the discreteandwiseaction,”Wrightis smilingvery muchfree and easy, „thatlooks likemyneed notto continueto be worried that actuallyowncopy clerkwas really delivered to Feudal Lord.”
“可以理解,这是谨慎与明智的举动,”莱特很洒脱地笑着,“那看来我倒是不用继续担心自己的文书是不是真的被送到领主手上了。”Gawainpullscorner of the mouth, curiouslylooks atthisMissionary: „Do youlook formywhat are you doing? Youshouldlook, wemustgo to battle.”高文扯扯嘴角,好奇地看着这个传教士:“你来找我干什么?你应该看得出来,我们就要出征了。”„Icomeforthis,”Wrightstraightens up the bodyimmediately, „Ihopewithyourtogetherset off.”
“我就是为这个来的,”莱特立刻挺直了身子,“我希望和你们一同出发。”ThismakesGawainbe surprisedactually: „Why? Youare notmysoldier, is notAdviserFeudal Lordand so on does the person, whywantto gowithustogether?”
这倒是让高文大感意外:“为什么?你又不是我的士兵,也不是领主顾问之类的人,为什么要跟我们一起去?”„Howarmy can set offnot accompany the armed forcesPriest?” A Wrightfaceis natural, „, moreoverascurrentlyhereonlyHoly Light ChurchPriest, I have the dutyto help everyone on thislandswithownstrength, particularlywhenfulfills the justice- Iheard, youmustrescuea number ofrefugee that is povertyingin the wilderness, thismatter, Ihave no alternative butto go.”
“部队出发怎么能没有随军牧师?”莱特一脸理所当然,“而且作为目前这里唯一的圣光教会神官,我有义务用自己的力量帮助这片土地上的每一个人,尤其是在践行正义的时候-我听说了,你们是要去解救一批正在荒野中忍饥挨饿的流民,这种事情,我不能不去。”
The Gawainbrowcould not bearjumpone- morality that opposite partywordsconformed to the religious doctrinesas well aspeople, how manythesedoctrineHoly Light ChurchPriestseriouslybut did thistimereally have? Thisfellow...... no wonderbyChurch of middlechurch parishcatching up.高文眉头忍不住跳了一下-对方的话句句符合教义以及人们的道德观念,但这个时代真把这些教义当真的圣光教会神官还有几个?这家伙……怪不得会被中部教区的教堂给赶出来。Even ifthinks,Gawain can also guess correctlythiswhole bodystyleincorrectfellowis many are treatedinChurchsees.
哪怕只是想想,高文也能猜到这个浑身画风都不对的家伙在教会里是多不受人待见的。Butsidebelievessimilarlydevotionally, andpursueKnightspiritPhilipactuallyto the speech of Wrightappreciatesgreatly, thisyoungandinflexibleKnightforgothimalsoto draw a swordto plan that probablya moment agowith the opposite partyduel, thencommendedat this time: „Really is the honestgentleman'sspeech, Priest Wright, you are not only goodPriest, but alsohasKnightspirit!”
但旁边同样信仰虔诚并且奉行骑士精神的菲利普却对莱特的发言大为赞赏,这位年轻而死板的骑士好像忘了刚才他还拔剑打算跟对方决斗,这时候便称赞起来:“真是正直之士的发言,莱特牧师,你不但是个好神官,而且还有着骑士精神!”ButGawainsized upWrightoneup and down, in the heartthoughtrapidly.
而高文则上下打量了莱特一眼,心中迅速思索起来。According to his firstresponseis to rejectthisstrangeHoly LightPriest.
按照他的第一反应,是要拒绝这个古怪的圣光牧师的。Military action, even if onlyexterminates a small-scaleaction of wave of mercenary, shouldberigorousserious, suddenlyrequests„joining a production team”Holy LightPriestmakes the Gawaininstinctfeelingimproper, butin the pondera moment later, hethought that takesthisPriestalsoto have nothing.
军事行动,哪怕只是去剿灭一波佣兵的小型行动,也应该是严谨严肃的,一个突然要求“插队”的圣光牧师让高文本能地感觉不妥,但在思考片刻之后,他却觉得带上这个牧师也没什么。perhapsthisis the good opportunity of observing the opposite party, moreoverWrightsaidtrulyis also good- accompanies the armed forcesPriestisverynecessary.或许这就是一个观察对方的好机会,而且莱特说的也确实不错-随军牧师是很有必要的。Although the soldierstooktreatmentpotion that Pittman and assistantmixed, butin the teammanyspecializedtreatmentpersonnelwere certainly better, oldDruidwas conducting the plantat this timepromotes the keyexperiment of medicinebatch productionto have no wayto accompany, Wrighthappen tocanmake upthisvacancy.
虽然士兵们都带上了皮特曼及其助手调配出来的治疗药水,但队伍里多一个专业的治疗人员当然更好,老德鲁伊这时候正在进行将植物促进药剂量产化的关键试验没法随行,莱特正好能补这个空缺。So long asthisPriestcanobey the directionon the line.
只要这个牧师能听从指挥就行。„Pleaserelax, I the first time am notheld the postto accompany the armed forcesPriest,”Wrighthears the Gawain'srequest, smiledis very self-confident, „middle area, althoughpeace, butalsooftenhas the Feudal Lordorganizationarmyto exterminate the robber and monster in mountain, IbyChurchwas often sent, whenaccompanies the armed forcesPriest, toall thesefamiliar.”
“请放心,我并不是第一次担任随军牧师,”莱特听到高文的要求,笑的很是自信,“中部地区虽然和平,但也时常有领主组织军队剿灭山里的强盗和怪物,我时常被教堂派去当随军牧师,对这一切熟悉的很。”Gawainlooked atthisPriestmisterwhole bodyshankmeat, suspectedvery muchheaccompanies the armed forcesto go to battleleads the armyto charge......高文看了看这位牧师先生浑身的腱子肉,很怀疑他到底是随军出征的还是带军冲锋的……Finally, in the teamaddsstrangeHoly LightPriest.
最终,队伍里又加进来一个奇奇怪怪的圣光牧师。In the gaze of citizens, teamset off.
在领民们的注视中,队伍出发了。Butat the same time, crosses the Clearwater Rivernorthmountain forest and wilderness, crossedtheserefugeeas well aspovertiedin the wildernessregards the preyrefugee that the greedyhoodlum, familycastle that the Kant Familygeneration conducted likeover the past several hundred years, stillcalmlystood and waited for a long timein„qvininetown/subdues”onsidehill.
而在同一时刻,越过白水河北侧的山林与旷野,越过那些在旷野上忍饥挨饿的流民以及将流民当成猎物的贪婪暴徒,康德家族世代承袭的家族城堡就像过去的数百年一样,仍然静静地伫立在“奎林镇”旁的山丘上。Thisgloriousfamilyalreadyrulethislands more than 300years, whenCecil Familyhas not declined, itthenalreadyasSouthern Regionrare„independentaristocrat”existsinthis, afterCecil Familydeclines, Kant Familyevadedluckthat a storm that subverts the entireSouthern Regionsituation, stillfirmlytook roothere, andhas continuedtoday.
这个荣耀的家族已经统治这片土地三百余年,在塞西尔家族还未衰落的时候,它便已经作为南境少有的“独立贵族”存在于此,而在塞西尔家族衰落之后,康德家族幸运地躲过了那场颠覆整个南境局势的风暴,仍然牢牢地扎根在此,并一直延续到了今日。300years of time, sufficientlywill be of most attractivepastexperiencing hardship to the fullgrandfortresspolish, even ifunderwent the multiplerenovations and repairs, Kantcastlealsorevealed that inevitably the vicissitudessenile, itstheseconform to the traditionallong and narrowwindowto mounthighinheavy/thickstone wall, even ifhigh noon, makesincastleeachroomflooddarknessindistinctly.
三百年的时光,足以将昔日最光鲜雄伟的堡垒打磨的饱经风霜,哪怕经过了多次的翻新和修葺,康德城堡也不可避免地显露出沧桑老态,它那些符合传统的狭长窗户高高地镶嵌在厚重的石壁上,哪怕正午时分,也让城堡里每个房间都充斥着影影绰绰的黑暗。AgedViscount Victor Kanthas satinownstudy room, the littlesunlightsprinkles the roomfromhisbehindnarrowwindow, making his ricketsbodyeven moreseemgloomy, helowers the headto turnonepack of parchment that looks atjustwrote, onthatpaperwrote all oversignificanceunclearsymbolandas if the doodlegeneralspoken language, laterheraised the head, lookstoandheequallyagedsteward: „Cartermister, these‚had hunting dog’found the newprey?”
已经老迈的维克多·康德子爵坐在自己的书房里,一点点阳光从他身后的窄窗洒进房间,让他那佝偻的身子愈发显得阴沉,他低头翻看着自己刚刚书写完的一叠羊皮纸,那纸张上写满了意义不明的符号和仿佛涂鸦一般的言语,随后他抬起头,看向和他一样老迈的管家:“卡特先生,那些‘猎犬’已经找到新的猎物了?”„Yes, Lord,”seniorstewardbends the waistslightly, „in the southmountain forest, homeless person of onecrowd of malnutritions, they have not knownownforthcomingdestiny-, buthave not begunthesehunting dogsto the present.”
“是的,老爷,”老管家微微弯腰,“在南边的山林里,一群营养不良的无家可归者,他们还丝毫不知道自己即将到来的命运-但那些猎犬到现在还没有动手。”„Theyask for money, moremoney,” the head of Victor Kantis trembling, seems likeinindignant, buthistonehas the happy expression, „dogwill need the reward of foodto go all outfor the master, grows the dogs of twolegsalsosame...... thatto givethem‚food’.

“他们要钱,更多的钱,”维克多·康德的脑袋颤颤巍巍的,似乎是在气愤,但他的语气却带着笑意,“狗需要食物的奖赏才会为主人卖力,长着两条腿的狗也一样……那就给他们‘食物’。卡特先生,派人带着钱袋子去找那些猎犬,告诉他们,赶快动手,把那些流民给我带来-如果他们再拖延,那便不会再有下一次合作了。现在是霜月,他们应该很清楚,赚这种钱的机会已经不多了。”„Yes, Lord.”
“是的,老爷。”
The seniorstewardleft, Victor Kantlowers the head, is immersed in theseconfusedsymbol and lines, the high noonsunlightilluminates the study roomby the narrowwindowdifficultly, as ifseparatedheavy/thickand thick dense fogis gloomy.
老管家离开了,维克多·康德重新低下头,埋首在那些错乱的符号和线条里,正午的阳光艰难地透过窄窗照进书房,仿佛隔了一层厚重而浓稠的迷雾般暗淡模糊。Butinthisgloomyfuzzysunlight, the Victor Kantshadowpulled outon the deskis always long, the shadowindistinctly, does not resemble human form......
而在这暗淡模糊的阳光中,维克多·康德的影子在书桌上被拉出老长,影子影影绰绰,不似人形……
