Holmwasserfbuthedoes not takeserffrom a birth, whensooner, hewas a miner in mine.霍姆是一名农奴但他并不是从一出生就作为农奴的,在更早些的时候,他是矿山中的一名矿工。Miners, rather thanslave laborer.
矿工,而非奴工。Is divided intotwotypesin the person who inmineworks, has the miner of body of freedomanddoes not have the slave laborer of body of freedom, the formerisfree citizen, tokeep a family, butgoes to the dangerousinmine„to digstone”voluntarily, the latteris the mineSlave Ownerprivate property, in the tool and domestic animalwithmineis equal, butthese two, incertainaspectswill have no difference dead inminemomentarily, moreover after dying, consumables that alsonobody will ask.
在矿山里干活的人分为两种,拥有自由之身的矿工和没有自由之身的奴工,前者是自由民,为了养家糊口而自愿去危险的矿山里“挖石头”,后者则是矿场奴隶主的私人财产,与矿山里的工具和牲畜等同,但这两者在某些方面又没什么区别都是随时会死在矿山里,而且死后也无人问津的消耗品罢了。Holmloses the process of body of freedomto be dramatic: Heis notone„law-abiding” the miner, compared withunearths the stonein the mine tunnelirrevocably, helikesseeking for the newthing, no matterthatthingis the neworeor the plant, in briefwantsis the new phenomenon. In this regard, oftensomepeoplewill teaseperhapshisancestorhassuchseveralpoints of Dwarfbloodlines, butHolmteasedtothesealwaysaccepts with pleasure. Heworksin the mine pit, all daythinkscaninundergrounddigto any extraordinarytreasure, butfinally, healsoreally„digging”had/left„treasure”.霍姆失去自由之身的过程富有戏剧性:他并不是一个“安分”的矿工,比起一成不变地在矿洞里挖掘石头,他更喜欢寻找新的事物不管那事物是新的矿石还是植物,总之只要是新鲜玩意就可以。在这一点上,经常有人会取笑说他祖上没准有那么几分的矮人血统,但霍姆对这些取笑一向是欣然接受。他在矿井中干活,整天想的就是能不能在地下挖到什么了不得的宝贝,而终于有一天,他还真的“挖”出了“宝贝”。Hebumped into the scene that on the minerwife and mineforemanhad an affair.
他撞见了矿主老婆和矿场上一名监工偷情的场面。foremankills1-2minersor the slave laborersisverysimple, so long asafterwardwithmine pitlandslideand so on reasondeceivednot to have the issue, Holmpersonallyhad even seensuchscene, thereforehefirstchoseescapedthisto escape, has not gone homeagain.监工打死1-2矿工或者奴工是很简单的,只要事后用矿井塌方之类的理由糊弄一下就毫无问题,霍姆甚至都曾经亲眼见过这样的场面,因此他第一时间选择了逃跑这一逃,就再也没回过家。Afteroneyear of refugee, hesettles downinoldCecil territory, previous generationViscount Cecilhas not pursuedhim, butheactuallyhas todepend uponto sell into servitudeisserfseeks the life.
当了一年的流民之后,他在旧塞西尔领安了家,上一代塞西尔子爵没有驱逐他,但他却不得不依靠卖身为农奴来寻求活命。Normally, thisis his short, but the miserylifetimecompletecontentlockedafter the land, the serfHolmlife will again be unrelieved, again not newspell of good or bad fortune and hope, hewill shoulder the heavy pressure that the landlordis bringing, crawlslife-longin the soils, has lived the lifeothertenyearsasserf, or15years, ifhecanlucky( orhad a heirinthisprocessunfortunately), thathisheirwill also inherit the serfstatus, the generation after generationsearn a livingunder the leather whip of landlord, butlong agointerplantingfor the experience of miner. When youngthatsmall, not the law-abidingcuriositywill also disappearinhismemorywill happen one daythoroughly.
正常情况下,这就是他这短暂而苦难一生的全部内容了锁在土地上之后,农奴霍姆的一生将再无变化,再无新的际遇和希望,他将背负着地主施加的沉重压力,终生匍匐在泥土之间,作为一个农奴活过人生剩余的十年,或者十五年,而如果他在这个过程中能侥幸(抑或不幸地)有了一名子嗣,那么他的子嗣也将继承农奴的身份,就此生生世世地在地主的皮鞭下过活,而早年间作为矿工的经历以及年轻时那点小小的、不安分的好奇心也终有一天会彻底消失在他的记忆之中。Butafterthatdisaster, allchanged.
但在那次灾难之后,一切都变了。OldCecil territorydid not have, the landlorddid not have, the landdid not have, newFeudal Lordwalksfrom the legend, leading the survivorto build a newhomelandin the Dark Mountain Rangeunder foot, is facing the brand-newlandandis full of the secretDark Mountain Range, Feudal Lordpromulgatedone after another inconceivablenewlaw, butserfHolmthattime„battle”whenautumn, becauseparticipatedto manufacture the trapto obtain the praise, hebecame the freebody, evenwas more free than free citizen.
旧塞西尔领没了,地主没了,土地也没了,新的领主从传奇故事里走出来,带领幸存者在黑暗山脉脚下建立了一片新的家园,面对着全新的土地和充满秘密的黑暗山脉,领主颁布了一条又一条不可思议的新法令,而农奴霍姆则在秋天时的那次“保卫战”中因为参与制作陷阱而得到了嘉奖,他重新成了自由之身,甚至比自由民更自由。Feudal Lordallowscitizento be engaged in all kinds ofworkaccording toindividualmanager, andpraised the person who anyworked hard, on the call-board of in the cityCenter, almostwill pastenewrecruitingrevelationevery day, butinFeudal Territoryanywanted a multi-subsidyhomepersonthroughthischannelto respond the summons of Feudal Lordregarding the person of thistime, Feudal Lordopenedsuchmanyjob, andalsoprovided the rewardsimplyis a reward of inconceivable, let alonenoworin the past can only starve the winter at homewaiting for death, whenever, thereforenewrecruitsrevelationto pasteto come out, will have the innumerablewaitingwork( orwaited to keep a family) The personcomes in swarms, seeksto suitownwork.领主准许领民依照个人所长从事各种各样的工作,并嘉奖任何努力工作的人,在城镇中心的公告板上,几乎每天都会贴出新的征募启示,而领地中任何想要多补贴一份家用的人都可以通过这个渠道响应领主的号召对于这个时代的人而言,领主开放出如此之多的工作岗位并且还发放报酬简直是一种不可思议的恩赏,更何况现在还是往日里只能在家里挨饿等死的冬天所以每当新的征募启示贴出来,都会有无数等待工作(或者说等待养家糊口)的人蜂拥而至,去寻找适合自己的工作。overwhelming majoritypersonnotlearn to read on Feudal Territory, they can only listen to the call-boardadvance party the soldierread out the abovecontentforoneself, butsoldieronlyafternewrevelationpastes for sixhourswill startto read out the abovethingin order toseveralhoursto doearlyrecruits the contentclearly, Holmlearned/studiedover a thousandwordsinthisseveral monthstimeactually, achievedcanread the content on bulletin boardroughly.领地上的绝大多数人原本是不识字的,他们只能听公告板前站着的士兵替自己宣读上面的内容,但士兵只会在新启示贴出来六个小时之后才会开始宣读上面的东西为了能早几个小时搞明白征募内容,霍姆硬是在这短短几个月的时间里学习了上千个单词,做到了可以磕磕绊绊地阅读公告栏上的内容。Butin the night school, issimilarmotivelikehim, but the learn to readpersonis not infrequentdiligently: The learn to readpersoncanknow the details that several hours ahead of schedulerecruits, andgo the personnel office of Ministry of Interiorto look for the clerkregistration, when thesenotlearn to readpersonregistersoftenallpostshave filled, thesedo not have the learn to readdiligentlypersonto regretfrom the beginningnow.
而在夜校里,像他这样出于类似动机而努力识字的人并不在少数:识字的人可以提前几个小时知道征募的详情,并前去内政部的人事处找书记员报名,而等到那些不识字的人去报名时往往所有岗位就已经满了,那些一开始没有努力识字的人现在都在后悔。ButHolmrejoicedvery muchoneselflearned/studied the writingpromptly, inFeudal Lordannounced when organizesa number ofnewenteringmountainsearch partieshefirstregisters: The population that thisteamrequestsare not many, althougha littlerisk, but the rewardin the technologylaborcompared withfactoryis high, saidagain, in the teamalso the magicalinfantry of squadprotects, can the riskbig?
而霍姆就很庆幸自己及时学习了文字,在领主宣布组织一批新的入山探索队时他第一时间就去报了名:这支队伍所要求的人数不多,虽然有一点风险性,但报酬却比工厂里的技术工还高,再说了,队伍里还有一个小队的魔导步兵进行保护,风险又能有多大呢?
The enteringmountainsearch party of neworganizationentersDark Mountain Rangefrom a newly discoveredmountain road, sawmanyinconceivablemutationanimals, plants and stonealong the way, Holmrelies onexperience of during that timeinmine pit, to calculate that the flexiblehead and bestlearn to readlevelbecomes the leader of thisteam( naturally, hebecame another importantreason of team leaderishehad received the personalpraise of Feudal Lord, thiswasrarehonor), butunderhisleadership, the teamfoundthattypeunusual, had the light purplegloss„raw ore”from a piece of quality of materialloosedecencyprecipice.
新组织的入山探索队从一条新发现的山道进入黑暗山脉,沿途看到了很多不可思议的变异动物、植物以及石头,霍姆凭借着自己当年在矿井里的经验、还算灵活的脑瓜以及最好的识字水平成为了这支队伍的领导者(当然,他成为领队的另一个重要原因是他曾经受到过领主的亲自嘉奖,这可是难得的荣誉),而在他的带领下,队伍从一片质地松散的风化山岩中找到了那种奇特的、带有淡紫色光泽的“原石”。In this process, Holmthatoncewas lived the curiosity of graduallysmoothing by grindingalsoto recovergradually......
在这个过程中,霍姆那曾经被生活渐渐磨平的好奇心也渐渐复苏了过来……Undersoldier'sleadership, GawainandAmberfoundinDark Mountain Range„search partyfoothold”, severalsimplistictentin the flakeopen area of ravine, but the completeequipmentCecilbattlesoldierstands guardaroundthisyoungcamp, Gawainsaw the head of thisexplorationteam, one by one not high, butactuallyverysturdymiddle-aged person.
在士兵的带领下,高文和琥珀找到了黑暗山脉里的“探索队据点”,几座简易帐篷支在山间的一小片空地上,而全副武装的塞西尔战斗兵则在这座小小的营地周围进行警戒,高文见到了这支探索队伍的负责人,一个个头不高但却很壮实的中年人。looks atopposite partythatdarkfaceas well asslightlya little ricketsbody, Gawainfelt that familiar, the remote thinking/proficiencymemorythis timewas playing the role very well, heremembers himselftrulyto knowthisperson: InautumnthattimeinCecilbattle that resistsAberrant Body, serfnamedHolmobtained the praisebecause of the performanceprominently, toestablishmodel, healso conducted the publiccommendationfactto show,hehad not really misread the personinitially.看着对方那黝黑的面庞以及略有点佝偻的身躯,高文感觉到一阵熟悉,卫星精的记忆力在这时很好地发挥了作用,他想起自己确实是知道这个人的:在秋天那次对抗畸变体的塞西尔保卫战中,一个名叫霍姆的农奴因表现突出得到了嘉奖,而为了树立典型,他还进行了公开的表彰事实证明,他当初还真没看错人。„Iremember that youcalledHolm,”citizen of Gawaintothisserffamily backgroundnods, „did youparticipate inthissearch party?”
“我记得你叫霍姆,”高文对这位农奴出身的领民点了点头,“你参与了这次探索队?”„Is...... isLord!”Holmhas not thought that Gawainwill rememberunexpectedlyyourname, somein fear and trepidation, „youhave issuedonetomeimmediatelypersonally...... a medal!”
“是……是的大人!”霍姆没想到高文竟然会记住自己的名字,顿时有些诚惶诚恐,“您亲自给我颁发过一枚……一枚奖章!”„Youwere fatter than at that time, verygood,”Gawainnodswith a smile, „is oreyoudiscovers?”
“你比当时胖了点,很好,”高文笑着点点头,“矿石是你发现的?”„IsLord,”Holmis controllingownnervousmooddiligently, hehas gotten up a person of praisestage, wantscalma littlecompared with the average personfinally, „initialdiscoveryplaceonnot far away, Irefers toheretoyoulooks......”
“是的大人,”霍姆努力控制着自己的紧张情绪,他已经是上过一次嘉奖台的人,总算是比普通人要镇静那么一点,“最初的发现地点就在这里不远处,我指给您看……”
From the stretch of open-airrock layer of campnot far away, Gawainsawseveralcollectionpoints that the search partyunearths.
在距离营地不远处的一片露天岩层上,高文看到了探索队挖掘出来的几个采集点。Thistype of potential valuegiantoreunexpectedlyon„burying”insuchshallowplace.
这种潜在价值巨大的矿石竟然就“埋藏”在如此之浅的地方。Gawainarrives by the collectionpoint, hesawtheseoresurfacesare coveringonethick, as ifhad been made decent the sameiron greyporous layer, buthas the light purpleor the pale blueglossore„embed”is then one of them, seems somecondensation nucleusis ordinary.高文来到采集点旁,他看到那些矿石表面覆盖着一层厚厚的、仿佛被风化过一样的灰白色多孔岩层,而一些带有淡紫色或淡蓝色光泽的矿石便“镶嵌”在其中,仿佛是某种凝结核一般。„Surfaceis the ore of scrap, moredigsdownward, the quality and volume of orewill be bigger, trulyhas the mineral lode of exploitation value to needto deep cut,”Holmis explainingin the one side, „thistype of quality of materialsoftdecayed rockis not quite suitableto dig the mine pitto be very easyto collapse, will therefore become enlightened the mine tunnel to be gooddirectly, will have the Rebecca Crystalwords, blasting out the rock layerwill not be difficult.”
“表层的都是很小块的矿石,越往下挖,矿石的品质和体积才会越大,真正有开采价值的矿脉应该还是需要深挖的,”霍姆在一旁解释着,“这种质地松软的风化岩层不太适合挖矿井很容易坍塌,所以直接开成矿坑应该会好一点,有瑞贝卡水晶的话,炸开岩层并不困难。”Gawainnods: „Isawreport that youdeliver, youdiscoveredin the outside worldhas never seen the thing . Moreover the zoology and botanyallhas the mutationsign.”高文点点头:“我看到了你们送回来的报告,你们发现了很多在外界从未见到过的事物,而且动植物皆有变异迹象。”„IsLord,”Holmreplied, „looked like the mineralfirstdiscovery of heresuchwide scope.”
“是的大人,”霍姆回答道,“不过像这里这么大范围的矿物还是第一次发现。”Gawain„un”, was on the riseto observe the surroundingtopography700years ago Gawain Cecilonceto command the armyto seek forroad/sslightlyinDark Mountain Range, butat that timeherehad not been affectedbymagic tide, in the Gawain Cecilmemory, heremaynot havethesestrangethings.高文“嗯”了一声,微微抬头观察着周围的地势七百年前的高文·塞西尔曾率军在黑暗山脉中寻找道路,而那时这里还没有被魔潮影响,在高文·塞西尔的记忆中,这里可没有这些奇奇怪怪的事物。Theyappearaftermagic tide.
它们都是在魔潮之后才出现的。Amberpulls out the dagger, curiouslyin a collectionthatin the dug uprockpicked up a fragment that is combining the royal purplegloss, placesunderSunto observeit: „Goodstrangething, old...... Gawain, thiswasyousaid that the naturalmaterialin the change that under the magic tideinfluencehad?”琥珀掏出匕首,好奇地在其中一个采集点那已经被挖开的岩石中挑出了一块混杂着蓝紫色光泽的碎块,把它放在太阳底下观察着:“好奇怪的东西,老……高文,这就是你说的,自然物质在魔潮影响下产生的变化?”„The magic tideessenceisextremelypowerfulmanasurges, although some manaare unable to be usedby the mortal, butit can still have the profound impact on the natural environment,”Gawainspoke thoughtlessly saying that „youdid believe that hereare much more than inmagic material that in the ancientDeep Blue Wellruinscanfind.”
“魔潮的本质是极为强大的魔力涌动,虽然这部分魔力无法被凡人使用,但它仍然能对自然环境产生深远的影响,”高文随口说道,“你信不信,在古代深蓝之井的废墟里能找到的魔法材料比这儿还多得多呢。”Amberstaredin a big way the eye: „That the headstrongtalentdaresto go to thatto mine!”琥珀瞪大了眼睛:“那得多莽的人才敢去那里面采矿啊!”Gawainshakes the head, has not answeredherissue.高文摇摇头,却没有回答她的问题。Hislooks atpresentore, in the heartthinksactuallyincessantlyat presenttheseores.
他看着眼前的矿石,心中所想的却不止眼前这些矿石。Hehad guessed, magic tideperhapsnot justhas erupted such a time.
他曾经猜测过,魔潮或许并非仅仅爆发过那么一次。Keepsmonitoring satellite of spaceveryobviouslyisonetypein view ofmagic tide( orsimilarphenomenon) warningfacility, before happened at the Cecil territorydisasteralsorevealedindication that magic tidewill soon stage a comeback, inhehungin the monitoringrecord in spacein the past, observed the oversizedgroundcivilizationto vanish, the entireecosphereto shuffleto restartgenerally the phenomenon that startedfromzerosuddenlybewilderedlycompletely.
留在天上的监控卫星很明显是一种针对魔潮(或类似现象)的预警设施,之前发生在塞西尔领的灾难也显露出了魔潮即将卷土重来的征兆,而在他过去挂在天上的监控记录里,也观察到过大地上的文明突然莫名其妙全部消失、整个生态圈洗牌重启一般从零开始的现象。In„the satelliteage”, hisobservationto the landbecause ofserious„jumpsframe”, butis incoherent, thereforehedoesevery so oftendoes not understandhowsurfacethesetremendous changesproducewinks the time of eye, the primitive manmade the manacannon, thenwinked a eye, theywere admitted to tree cave, moreoverwore the animal skinstomacherto dance the squaredancearound the bonfire, the geologicallandformandgeographical dist. of plants in alsoheaven and earth turned upside downfield of vision, perhapsinthishad several -yeardestructivewar, was also possibleto have7749days of floodtsunami, butregardingmillenniumsand otherremote thinking/proficiencyThis„fastis also short” the disaster is really hardto catchinstantaneously.
在“卫星年代”里,他对大地的观测因严重“跳帧”而并不连贯,所以很多时候他都搞不明白地表那些翻天覆地的变化是怎么产生的眨个眼的功夫,原始人就造出了魔力大炮,然后又眨了个眼,他们就又住进了树洞里,而且还穿着个兽皮兜兜绕着篝火跳起了广场舞,视野中的地质地貌与植物分布也天翻地覆,在这中间或许有长达数十年的毁灭性战争,也可能有七七四十九天的洪水海啸,但对于千年等一帧的卫星精而言,这“迅捷又短暂”的灾难瞬间实在是难以捕捉。Butdefinitelyhas anything to causethistype„shuffle” , if no otheranswer, then the onlyanswerismagic tide.
但肯定有什么东西在导致这种“洗牌”如果没有别的答案,那么唯一的答案就是魔潮。magic tidewill causematerial in the natureto have the natureto change, inDark Mountain Range these thing that sees what one never saw in elsewhereprovethissufficiently.魔潮会导致自然界中的物质产生性质变化,黑暗山脉中这些在别处见所未见的事物足以证明这点。Even ifmagic tideremoves, thesewill have the change the thingnot to restore the original design, insteadwill solidify the ore that into onebrand-newmaterialDark Mountain Rangewill discover to provethissimilarly.
而即便魔潮褪去,这些产生变化的东西也不会恢复原样,反而会固化成为一种全新的物质材料黑暗山脉中发现的矿石同样能证明这点。Ifthenin the worldhas hadmore than oncemagic tide, Gawainhas the reasonto believe: Perhaps the great majoritything in thisworldhad been affectedbymagic tide.
那么假如世界上发生过不止一次魔潮,高文就有理由相信:这个世界上的大多数东西恐怕都被魔潮影响过。Hehadin history a boldestsuspicion:
他产生了有史以来最大胆的一个猜想:Thesemanamaterials, the magiclifeform, orseems likewithmanadoes not have the ordinarysoilandrock of relations, was gradually moldedpresentthislookinmagic tidebaptism.
那些魔力材料,魔法生物,亦或者看起来与魔力全无关系的普通土壤、岩石,都是在魔潮的一次次洗礼中被逐渐塑造成如今这副模样的。magic tide, wasonetypewill repeatedly have, even now that still had not stopped the indication„the worldmoldphenomenon”.魔潮,是一种会不断发生的、时至今日仍然没有停止征兆的“世界塑造现象”。
