顺着地窖的楼梯爬上去,从地面离开北塔之后,高文和琥珀才看到这座城堡究竟发生了怎样的变化。Onsuch as of Gawainspeculation, thiscastlewholewas coveredin a long-termillusion, allappearances that itpresents, is makesdreamLilith Kantto moldto comeinDreamland, butitis not the pureDreamlandrealisticandillusoryboundaryhereseemsespeciallyfuzzy, theiroverlappingmutual influence, the matter happening inreal worldcandisturbDreamlandmutually, the thing in dreamwill also mapto enter the reality.
就如高文推测的那样,这座城堡整体都被笼罩在一个长期的幻象之中,它所呈现出来的一切样貌,皆是造梦者莉莉丝·康德在梦境中塑造而来,但同时它又不是单纯的梦境现实与虚幻的界限在这里显得格外模糊,它们相互重叠相互影响,发生在现实世界的事情可以干扰到梦境,梦中的事物也会映射进入现实。AfterDreamlandremovescompletely, canseeold castlecorrodedtattered and tornlook.
当梦境完全褪去之后,才能看到古堡被侵蚀的千疮百孔的模样。Corrodes the most seriousregioninDreamland, bigpalatialnortherntowerhad vanishedhalf, itbreaks, the entireupper halfdoes not knowmanyyears ago thenhas come downcollapsing, the giant stonestructure of survivingaims at the horizonlike the skeleton of breakirregularly, presentsmalevolentlookinearly morningglimmer, butin the hightowersurroundingopen areafinds at everywhereis buriedin the bricksremnantblock in loessandvine;With the castlemain body that northerntowerfaces each other across a great distancepreserves, in additioncomplete, thereis„realityeven better”place, thereforelived the servantsincastlemain bodytrulyto maintainthisold castle, itdid not have many signs of avalanche, butin the outer wall can also see the discomfortingcrackeverywhereas well asrecklessly the vineandmoss of growth, butwithremoving of Dreamlandstrength, thesevines and mosseshadsomeevento crawlonLordconstructionthathighapex.
在梦境侵蚀最严重的区域,高大巍峨的北塔已经消失了一半,它从中断裂,整个上半部分早在不知多少年前便已经崩落坍塌,残存的巨石结构就像断裂的骸骨般参差不齐地指向天际,在清晨的微光中呈现出狰狞的模样,而高塔周围的空地上则随处可见已经被掩埋在黄土和藤蔓中的砖瓦残块;与北塔遥遥相对的城堡主体则保存尚且完好,那里是“现实更胜一筹”的地方,因此生活在城堡主体中的仆人们确确实实维护了这座古堡,它没有多少崩塌的迹象,可外墙上也随处可以看到令人不安的裂缝以及肆意生长的藤蔓、青苔,而随着梦境力量的褪去,那些藤蔓和青苔有一些甚至已经爬到了主建筑那高高的尖顶上。Onmoving towardroad of castleLordconstruction, GawainandAmbermetKnight Philip that catches up in a hurry.
在走向城堡主建筑的路上,高文和琥珀遇到了正匆匆赶来的菲利普骑士。YoungKnighthas not experiencedbattle, butdestroys a giantmagiccenteralsoto makehimexhaustedbyone's effortsufficiently, Philipseemsveryexhausted, the eyegroundalsoremains the deep layer, psychologicaltiredfeeling, afterseeingGawain, hebuoys upimmediately, all of a suddenstandstraightly: „Lord! Seesyouto be safe and soundvery muchhappily!”
年轻的骑士并未经历战斗,但凭借一己之力破坏一个巨大的魔法中枢也足以让他精疲力尽,菲利普显得很是疲惫,眼底则还残留着更深层的、心理上的劳累感,不过在看到高文之后,他还是立刻振作起来,一下子站得笔直:“大人!很高兴看到您安然无恙!”Gawainlooks atPhilipexpression, slight nod: „It seems likeyousawmade the personpressuregiantthing.”高文看着菲利普的表情,微微点头:“看来你看到了一些令人心理压力巨大的东西。”„Yes, Lord, as you expected,”Philipsaid with a sigh, „the place that stewardCartervanishedwasDreamland‚internalboundary’, therehadone...... to fillto blasphemewith the evilritualfield, Iwas really hardto describetherescene.”
“是的,大人,如您所料,”菲利普叹息道,“管家卡特消失的地方就是梦境的‘内部边界’,那里有一个……充满亵渎与罪恶的仪祭场,我实在难以描述那里的情景。”Gawainnods: „Broughtmeto have a look atyou should not to havein the pastentireto tear downthatplace?”高文点点头:“带我过去看看你应该没把那地方整个拆掉吧?”„Naturallyno, Lord, theseare the Evil Cultistevidence,”Philipnods, „thesepeople...... were perhaps incurable.”
“当然没有,大人,那些都是邪教徒的罪证,”菲利普点点头,“不过那些人……恐怕都没救了。”„...... Iguessed correctly,”Gawainsighed, „ledmeto have a look at the situationin the past. RightAmber, youfirstgo to castle, Iguess that therepersonshouldawake, moreoverin the panic, you are finding the adviser in castle, the storehouse keeper, chiefKnightandthatPriest, makingthemstabilize the will of the peopleas well ascall the managersandKnight on Feudal Territory, Igo to the Lordofficehostgeneral situationquickly.”
“……我猜到了,”高文叹口气,“带我过去看看情况吧。对了琥珀,你先去城堡里一趟,我猜那里的人应该都已经醒了,而且正在恐慌之中,你去找到城堡里的顾问,司库,首席骑士和那位牧师,让他们安定人心以及去召集领地上的主管和骑士们,我很快就去主厅主持大局。”Amberblinks: „Youconfirmed that thesepeoplewill listenmy?”琥珀眨眨眼:“你确认那些人会听我的?”„Younowhow many is also the Dukeguard, youthink that youwon't have the right to speakbefore the domestic servant of ordinaryyoungaristocrat?”Gawainlooked atthisfellowoneeyes, „, moreoverpresentDreamlandfinished, is returning to everyone'sbrainaboutthiscastlecorrectcognitionover the past 30 years, thisunthinkableimpactcanmakeeveryonefalls intogreatlyscaredin this case, peopleare very easyto accept the direction.”
“你现在多少也是公爵的近卫,你认为你在普通小贵族的家仆面前会没有话语权?”高文看了这家伙一眼,“而且现在梦境结束,关于这座城堡过去30年的正确认知正在回到所有人的大脑中,这种匪夷所思的冲击会让所有人陷入巨大的恐慌这种情况下,人们很容易接受指引。”
After Gawain's, half a wordwordshave not as if enteredto the head of thisHalf-Elf from the start, before Amberjustlistened, half a wordwhole personhas startedto flutter, after the brainrevolvedfast, bravesat least60opportunitiesand80injuring by cheatinglawsbasicallycenters onamberfalseawe-inspiring prowesscentral thoughtto launch, what a pityshejustflutteredfewsecondsto be completely understood the detailsbyGawain, the latterstaresdirectly: „Youmustdaretaking advantage ofmygiven nameswindle, Ito paton the wallyou!”高文的后半句话似乎压根没进到这个半精灵的脑袋里,琥珀刚听完前半句整个人就已经开始飘了,脑子飞快运转了一圈之后冒出来至少六十个生财之道和八十个坑骗之法基本上都围绕着琥假虎威这一中心思想展开,可惜她刚飘了没几秒钟就被高文看透底细,后者直接一瞪眼:“你要敢借着我的名号坑蒙拐骗,我就把你拍墙上!”Amberrolls the eyes: „Can't youchange a wayto threaten?”琥珀一翻白眼:“你就不能换个方式威胁?”„Thatpats the ground,”Gawainbeckons with the hand, turns headto walk, „in briefyoumustdareto deceive peoplepaton the wall, daresto steal the thingto pat the ground......”
“那就拍地上,”高文摆手,扭头就走,“总之你要敢骗人就拍墙上,敢偷东西就拍地上……”HoweverstraightforwardKnight Philipactuallyafterkeeping up with the Gawain'sfootsteps the worryasked the sentence: „She, if after stealing the thing, deceivedyou saying that hasn't stolen?”
然而耿直的菲利普骑士却在跟上高文的脚步之后忧心地问了句:“那她要是偷完东西之后骗您说没偷呢?”Gawainstops the footsteps, looked atPhiliponesilently: „...... Youhad consideredgets a permanent?”高文停下脚步,默默地看了菲利普一眼:“……你考虑过烫个头么?”„Ah?”“啊?”In the Gawainheartsighed: Really, wanders about destitutedifficultlyother worldhas no wayto exchange the stemwith the native, even if the opposite partyisfall-guy is also the same.高文心中叹了口气:果然,流落异界最艰难的就是没法跟当地人交流梗,哪怕对方是个捧哏也一样。Twopeople of that placeundergroundhall that arrives atKnight Philipto discover.
二人来到了菲利普骑士所发现的那处地下大厅。magic power that in the halloccupieshas dissipated, thattypemadeoneconstraincrazyaura also to vanish, butit was still the gloomy and grimplace, in the Gawain'sline of sight, theserevolves the stone columnorderlyarrangement the platformto send out the blood smellsolutionplaning benchonas ifone by one, butonthesesolutionplaning benches, whenbutchered„lamb”is actually also living.
大厅中盘踞的魔法力量已经消散,那种令人压抑疯狂的气息也随之消失,但它仍然是个阴森可怖的地方,在高文的视线中,那些围绕着石柱整齐排列的平台就仿佛一个个散发着血腥气的解刨台,而在这些解刨台上,待宰的“羔羊”却还活着。Gawainnoticedtheseto connect the victimheadwith the stone column, is similarsomebiological tissuesamecast, theywere the blood vessel and nerve that the entanglementgrew, butactually the proliferationfrom the brain of personandmutationdid not comeobviously, theirendconnectionsin the foundationposition of stone column, have the fleshstructure of an inflationanddistortion there, seemedsomeindependentorganismcloselypostto be attached to rune of stone columnequally, but a connection of theirin additionendandhuman bodyshouldbesomeparasitic( alsopossibleissurgery) result.高文注意到了那些连接着受害者头颅和石柱的、仿佛某种生物组织一样的管状物,它们是纠缠生长的血管和神经,但却显然不是从人的大脑中增生、变异而来,它们的一端连接在石柱的根基位置,在那里有着一层膨胀、扭曲的血肉结构,就好像某种独立的生物体一样紧紧地贴附在石柱的符文上,而它们另一端与人体的连接则应该是某种寄生(也可能是外科手术)的结果。BecauseKnight Philipdestroyedrune on stone column, theseattachedon the stone column„biological tissue”at this momenthas presented the obviousfeeblebeing on the verge of deathsign, theystarted the atrophyto split open, andthere is a light redliquidto flow outfrom the opening, butwiththemlinked the victimhad the majority dead.
由于菲利普骑士破坏掉了石柱上的符文,这些依附在石柱上的“生物组织”此刻已经呈现出明显的衰弱濒死迹象,它们开始萎缩开裂,并且有淡红色的液体从裂口中流出,而与它们连接在一起的受害者则有一多半已经死去。Withoutdeadthese, obviouslycould not savethem„nerverope”to connectwiththesetoofor a long time, individualconscioushad been obliteratedthoroughly, the brain tissuewas hurt byirreversibledestructive, brainnerve cell that theysurvivedforthishuge„human brainarray computer”provided the computationstrength, with the dissipation of heremagic power, theywill diequickly.
即便是没有死去的那些,也明显救不回来了他们已经与那些“神经索”连接了太长时间,个体意识早就被彻底磨灭,脑组织更是受到不可逆的毁灭性伤害,他们残存的大脑神经细胞只是在为这个庞大的“人脑阵列计算机”提供计算力而已,随着这里魔法力量的消散,他们将会很快死去。Is worthrejoicing that only, istheycould not have felt the paininthisprocess.
唯一值得庆幸的,就是他们在这个过程中已经感受不到痛苦。„Icannot identifythisam anything,”Knight Philipis suppressing the dislikefeeling, squatswithGawaintogetherinnearby a foundation of stone column, heuses the scabbardto point atfronttheseto twitch, the biological tissue of contraction, „, even ifinrecordingmostcrazyblackmagicancient book, intalking during sleep of theseheresyevil personcrazy, Ihad not heard that worldhasthistype...... the lifeform. Eternal Sleepersis notDruid, theyhave not changedcreationtype or the ability of summonlife, wherethesebiological tissuesshouldbetheyfromfoundandreproduced, specializedforextractingsoul, iswhere...... theyfromthesethings of looking?”
“我辨认不出这是什么东西,”菲利普骑士强忍着厌恶感,和高文一同蹲在其中一根石柱的根基附近,他用剑鞘指着前方那些正在抽搐、收缩的生物组织,“哪怕是在记载着最疯狂的黑魔法的古书上,还有那些异端恶徒疯狂的呓语中,我也没听说世间存在这种……生物。永眠者不是德鲁伊,他们没有改造物种或召唤生命的能力,这些生物组织应该是他们从什么地方找到并繁殖出来,专门用于抽取灵魂的,可是……他们从哪找的这些东西?”„Perhapsthese are really All Things Finally Die SocietyhelpEternal Sleepersfostercome out,”Gawainis knitting the brows, „theyhave the relationafter all.”
“说不定这些真是万物终亡会帮着永眠者培养出来的,”高文皱着眉,“他们毕竟有联系。”Knight Philipverysurprise: „Will cooperation between theseEvil Cultist be so close?”菲利普骑士很诧异:“那些邪教徒之间的合作会这么紧密么?”„Iftheirdegeneratereasonsuch asIthink, the tightness of amongthemcooperatingwill perhaps exceed the imagination in worldgreat majorityperson,”Gawainsaid with a sigh, „compared withthese, Icares about that Eternal Sleepersusednow‚technology’.”
“如果他们堕落的原因如我想的一样,那他们之间合作的紧密度恐怕就会超出世间大多数人的想象,”高文叹息道,“比起这些,我现在更在意永眠者所采用的这种‘技术’。”Philipafter all is a military person, is somewhat slowinthisaspect: „technology?”菲利普毕竟是个武人,在这方面有些迟钝:“技术?”„In the correspondence that VictorViscountleaves behindmentioned,hereis one of the Eternal Sleepersconstruction‚computationnode’,”Gawainpoints attheseto be linked to each otherby the nerverope the victim, „theyas ifcreateonetypecanreplace the real world‚realDreamland’in the attempt, andrelies on the Dreamlandstrengthto come the achieveanythingthing, butthisneeds the terrifying the computing poweryousimplyits understanding of be the mental ability. The brain of anyArchmagicianis unable to completethismagnificent feat, thereforetheyfound out the idea of thiscrazy, connects the brain, creates‚human brainarray computer’, youknow that whatthisdoes mean?”
“维克多子爵留下的书信中提到,这里是永眠者建造的一个‘计算节点’,”高文指着那些被神经索连在一起的受害者,“他们似乎在尝试创造一种可以替换现实世界的‘真实梦境’,并借助梦境的力量来实现什么东西,而这需要恐怖的计算能力你可以简单地将其理解为脑力。任何一个大魔法师的大脑都无法完成这一壮举,所以他们才想出了这个疯狂的主意,也就是将大脑连接起来,创造出‘人脑阵列计算机’,你知道这意味着什么吗?”„Means that theywill killmorepeople?”
“意味着他们会去杀更多的人?”„Thisis only the representation, in -depthsignificanceis: Thismeansthisgroup of Evil Cultistnot onlycrazy, but also is graspingcrazytechnology!”Gawainsaidseriously,„they were repelledandshun the worldin the living in seclusionsituationstillby the mainstream societyto developunceasingly, evenalsodevelopednewtechnology of farultrapresent agemagiclevel. ThoughtcrazyEvil Cultistis not merely fearful, whatis fearfulistheseEvil Cultistreallyalsohas the research capabilityresearch capability is not even weak!”
“这只是表象,深层的意义在于:这意味着这帮邪教徒不但疯狂,而且还掌握着疯狂的技术!”高文严肃地说道,“他们在被主流社会排斥、避世隐居的情况下仍然在不断发展着,甚至还发展出了远超当代魔法水平的新技术。要知道,仅仅思维疯狂的邪教徒并不可怕,可怕的是这些邪教徒竟然还有科研能力甚至科研能力还不弱!”Is saying, hewhilestood, is observing the situation the entireundergroundhall.
一边说着,他一边站了起来,环视着整个地下大厅。„Mostawfully, isthecrazytechnology that theycreate , if using in the correctplace, will maketheirtechnologyprogressspeedmore terrifying......”
“最最要命的,是他们所创造出的这个疯狂技术如果用在正确的地方,会让他们的技术进步速度更加恐怖……”Aftercollectingsomerunerubbingsandwreckagespecimen, GawainandKnight Philipleftthisplace.
在收集了一些符文拓印和残骸样本之后,高文与菲利普骑士离开了这个地方。After the Dreamlandstrengthretreats, the castleLordhallchanges one of the minimumregions, revealedsuddenlyexcept forouter wall, pillar/backbone, ceilingand otherplacesbesideagedtrace that 30years of timeaccumulates, here could still be the lightto be bright, the cleaningbehavior in neatattractivelifeliving personservantsordinary dayincastleis genuine, butDreamland and characteristics of realityconnectionguaranteedtheircleaningeffectnot onlylimitsinDreamland.
在梦境力量退去之后,城堡主厅是变化最小的区域之一,除了外墙、支柱、顶棚等处突然显露出三十年时光积累的老化痕迹之外,这里仍然算得上灯光明亮,整洁光鲜生活在城堡中的活人仆役们平日里的打扫行为是切实存在的,而梦境与现实交汇的特性则确保了他们的打扫效果不只局限于梦境中。In fact, as a result of the conclusion of Dreamlandeffect, occupiedthroughoutinthis, vaguegloomyauraalsofollowsoneandvanishes, the castleLordhallinsteadmustwarm the past at this momentis gentler.
事实上,由于梦境效果的结束,始终盘踞在这里面的、若有若无的阴森气息也跟着一并消失,城堡的主厅此刻反而比往日里要温暖平和许多。Thiswarmgentleatmospheredoes not have the meansto letgather the personinhallfeels at ease.
只是这温暖平和的气氛却没办法让聚集在大厅中的人安心下来。
The fearis coveringin everyone heartevenincludesloyal and devotedguardplacealready30years of thatchiefKnightmister.
恐惧正笼罩在每一个人心头甚至包括忠心耿耿守卫这个地方已经三十年的那位首席骑士先生。AfterDreamlandconclusion, the talent in castleawakenssuddenly, their shieldedconscious and memoryrevolveentirely, inobtainingfreeponder the flash of ability, all that experiencedover the past 30 yearshereturned into the grotesque and gaudynightmarein the old castle that ingets olderunceasinglysleepwalked, considersone dead dozensyears of illusory image, a ghostmistresswanderedin the northerntowerruins, all thesewere appalling.
当梦境结束之后,城堡中的人才恍然惊醒,他们那被屏蔽的意识和记忆通通运转起来,在获得自由思考的能力的一瞬间,过去30年在这里所经历的一切都变成了光怪陆离的噩梦在一个不断老化的古堡中梦游,照顾着一个已经死去几十年的幻影,一位幽灵般的女主人徘徊在北塔的废墟之中,这一切都令人毛骨悚然。Butregarding these enougholdservantsandKnight, advisersandmanagers, matteris more terrifying: Whentheyrecord the skeleton of oldmasterandyoungmasterclearlyare returned tocastleby the secret, howalsorecordedclearly the 30years ago mistressesis beingto usemagicto control the mind of everyone incrazy, that matter that thislaterevery dayhad, castlechangedevery day, inwelling uptheirheart.
而对于那些足够年长的仆人和骑士、顾问、主管们而言,事情更加恐怖:他们清楚地记着老主人和小主人的尸骨是何时被秘密送回城堡,也清楚地记着三十年前的女主人是如何在疯狂中用魔法控制了每一个人的心神,这之后每一天所发生的事情,城堡每一天所发生的变化,都在涌上他们的心头。Butthesewere convened, lives, incastlenearbyFeudal Territoryeffectivealsoplacesin the fear, so long asbecausecomes and goes outthiscastlepersonfrequently, had been affectedbyDreamland, butcompares to the servantsandKnight who these30yearsneverleave the old castle, theirfearsare lighter.
而那些被召集回来的、就住在城堡附近的领地管事们也都身处恐惧之中,因为只要是频繁出入这座城堡的人,就都被梦境影响过,只是比起那些三十年从未离开古堡的仆人和骑士们,他们的恐惧要略轻一些。Butsaidno matter how, so long asonceexperiencedanythingconscioustooneself, no one can also maintainindifferentcalm.
但不管怎么说,只要意识到自己曾经经历了什么,就没有人还能保持淡然镇静。Amberis standingin the Lordhallendstage, musttouch own ears and cheeksanxiously.琥珀正站在主厅尽头的高台上,急得抓耳挠腮。Thereis the place that in the ordinary dayFeudal Lordcanstand, butno oneis actually standingtoabovenow„little girl”gave the comment, becauseeveryoneknows that was the Dukeguard, inthisemergency case, shestoodas the Dukespokesmanthere, thereforeeveryone, not onlydid not questionher, insteadwent toher the lines of sight of anticipations.
那里是平日里领主才能站的地方,可是现在却没人对上面站着的“小姑娘”提出意见,因为人人都知道那是公爵的近卫,在这种紧急情况下,她是作为公爵的发言人而站在那里的,所以大家非但不质疑她,反而把一道道期待的视线投向了她。ButthismakesAmberwish one couldto find an opportunityto rollin the shadowto goimmediately, when the before feeling of influential figuredid not have, good that imagines!
可这却让琥珀恨不得立刻就找个机会滚回阴影中去当大人物的感觉原来一点都没之前想象的那么好!„Do not fluster, leaves...... othernervous! Dukepurified the lastlairto go, heonewill comenot to fluster, his came!”
“你们都别慌,都别……都别紧张!公爵去净化最后一个巢穴去了,他一会就过来都别慌啊,他这就过来了!”Amberstandson the platformis comforting the peopleunproductive, whenshethought that dragsagainonesecond of must unable to control the scene, GawainfinallyandKnight Philiptogetherappears.琥珀站在台子上徒劳地安抚着众人,就在她觉得再多拖一秒自己就要控制不住现场的时候,高文终于和菲利普骑士一同出现了。
