After beginning of winter the first snow came finally. 入冬之后的第一场雪终于来了。 The snowflake of fluttering falls from the lead grey sky, covers gently on each small patch of land ground of Cecil city, all bell towers, the roof, the city wall, whistles tower, in a short time the superposition covered a pure white, in this boundless and gentle snow, the boundary of day and place, the boundary of city and wilderness, the boundary of house and street, all boundaries becomes fuzzy. 飘飘扬扬的雪花从铅灰色的天空落下,轻柔地覆盖在塞西尔城的每一寸土地上,所有的钟楼,屋顶,城墙,哨塔,都在很短的时间内被覆盖上了一层洁白,在这无边而又轻柔的雪中,天和地的界限,城市和旷野的界限,房屋和街道的界限,一切界限都变得模糊起来。 Tyr wriggles before the porch cautiously, she finds out outside the long tail the porch, poked under a porch with tail tip fast that matter also not too thick snow, then a visible vibration then followed her tail tip to spread whole body- Miss Siren made an effort to tremble, received to roll one group the tail directly: „Frozen hard! This ghost weather I do not go out!” 提尔小心翼翼地蠕动到门廊前,她把长长的尾巴探出到门廊外边,用尾巴尖飞快地戳了一下门廊下那层还不太厚的积雪,然后一阵肉眼可见的抖动便顺着她的尾巴尖蔓延了全身-海妖小姐使劲哆嗦了一下,直接把尾巴收回来团成一团:“冰死啦！这种鬼天气我才不出门！” However Rebecca actually stands in the gardens, then makes an effort to incur to Tyr: „Rare today's week ten leaves, you try! Having a snowball fight is very fun! I most like snowing since childhood!” 然而瑞贝卡却站在庭院中间,回头对提尔使劲招着手:“难得今天周十休假,你来试试嘛！打雪仗很好玩的！我从小就最喜欢下雪啦！” In Cecil, people one week of working day has eight days, in every Saturday and week ten is the day of rest, but because the progress issue of massive research project, Rebecca very long had not been on leave recently, this delayed beginning snow makes her have the reason that had a vacation finally, made her recall in childhood the happy time in the snowy area playing-, although has grown up, although world already heaven and earth turned upside down, but snowed snows, as always, diverting. 在塞西尔,人们一周的工作日有八天,在每周六、周十都是休息的日子,但由于最近大量研究项目的进度问题,瑞贝卡已经很久没有休假了,这场迟来的初雪让她终于有了个放假的理由,也让她回忆起了小时候在雪地里玩的幸福时光-虽然已经长大,虽然世界已经天翻地覆,但下雪就是下雪,一如既往,令人快乐。 Comes the deep sea Tyr not to have the means to understand that Rebecca joyful source, this is she in the second winter on the land passing, this type will snow and ice up, the water element extremely inactive season not to have the pleasure to her: „It is not the group snowball throws mutually- your Human Race from throwing the stone starts to like various types of things throwing, I am have no way to understand this seed/type Ai......, moreover you must have a snowball fight also wait for the snow to stop at least, on present this snow enough what are you doing......” 出身深海的提尔却没办法理解瑞贝卡的快乐源泉,这是她在陆地上度过的第二个冬季,这种会下雪、会结冰、水元素极不活跃的季节对她而言毫无乐趣可言:“不就是团雪球互相扔来扔去嘛-你们人类从扔石头开始就喜欢把各种东西扔来扔去,我是没法理解这种爱号……而且你要打雪仗起码也等雪停了吧,就现在这点雪够干什么的……” Miss Siren is saying, while rolls diligently the tail, and attempts to retract the upper part to the ball that in the tail forms: „I was stranded, I want to go back to sleep......” 海妖小姐一边说着,一边更加努力地把尾巴团起来,并且尝试着把上半身缩回到尾巴形成的球里:“我困了,我想回去睡觉……” However she finishes barely the words, an icy cold flurry group then flies high to fly suddenly, pounded solid on her forehead. 然而她话音未落,一个冰凉的小雪团便突然凌空飞来,结结实实地砸在了她的脑门上。 „Wā!!” The balance that Tyr with great difficulty maintains was broken instantaneously, tail spherical aberration that the plate gets up toward the behind tumbling in the past, „I said that does not play!” “哇！！”提尔好不容易维持的平衡瞬间被打破,盘起来的尾巴球差点朝后面翻滚过去,“我都说不玩了！” „It is not I!” Rebecca also saw the snow group on Tyr face, hurries to beckon with the hand, „snowball from other direction......” “不是我啊！”瑞贝卡也看到了提尔脸上的雪团,赶紧摆着手,“雪球是从别的方向……” She finishes barely the words, suddenly is one group of snowballs flies baseless from the corner of garden, this time pounded solid on her forehead. 她话音未落,突然又是一团雪球从庭院的角落凭空飞来,这次结结实实地砸在了她的脑门上。 „...... Amber!!” “……琥珀！！” Tyr screamed finally, her scream also reminded still face confused Rebecca, two people raised the head together, looked that to direction that the snowball flew- there, a snow group is condensing baseless, in the snowy area, is printing a piece of stealthy footprint...... 提尔终于尖叫起来,她的尖叫也提醒了仍然一脸蒙圈的瑞贝卡,两个人一起抬起头,看向雪球飞来的方向-在那里,一把雪团正凭空凝聚,雪地上则印着一片鬼鬼祟祟的脚印…… In the beginning snow that still fluttered, a small tangled warfare launched in the Feudal Lord Mansion garden. 在仍然飘扬的初雪中,一场小小的混战在领主府的庭院中展开了。 „Young really good......” “年轻真好啊……” After the window of study room, Gawain takes back the observation to the line of sight of below garden, said after a sigh in a soft voice. 在书房的落地窗后,高文收回了望向下面庭院的视线,轻声感叹道。 Pittman sits on a desk chair, his slurp hot tea, lifted the eyelid to look to Gawain: „Your body age is about 37 years old- during that time was still light.” 皮特曼坐在书桌侧面的一把椅子上,他吸溜了一口热茶,抬起眼皮看向高文:“您的躯体年龄也不过三十七岁而已-仍然相当年轻。” „37 years old are do not suit the age in the courtyard and younger generations having a snowball fight,” Gawain returns to behind the desk, sits down on the spacious seat, holds front teacup conveniently, „drinks tea very well in the study room.” “三十七岁已经是个不适合在院子里和晚辈们打雪仗的年龄了,”高文回到书桌后面,在自己宽大的座椅上坐下,随手捧起面前的茶杯,“在书房里喝茶挺好的。” Pittman smiles: „Pitifully is a sloppy old man sits opposite of you.” 皮特曼嘿嘿一笑:“可惜是一个邋里邋遢的老头子坐你对面。” Gawain has not said that but drinks the next hot tea slowly, later looks at Pittman that as if can maintain the facial features that is smiling in all circumstances, after gazing at for two seconds, he said: „I heard that you solve the technology difficult problem that Carmel met- that thing calls the man-made nerve rope?” 高文没有接话,而是慢慢饮下一口热茶,随后看着皮特曼那似乎在任何情况下都能维持嬉皮笑脸的面容,在注视了两秒钟后,他才说道:“我听说你解决了卡迈尔遇上的技术难题-那东西是叫人造神经索吧？” „Right, Druid technology and product of alchemy project union, the average person may be unable to think of that type of thing.” “没错,德鲁伊技术和炼金工程结合的产物,一般人可想不到那种东西。” „General Druid cannot think that type of thing,” Gawain said calmly, „that is Eternal Sleepers technology, strictly speaking, is All Things Finally Die Society degenerate Druid creates, later passes to Eternal Sleepers, is improved later nerve connection technology by the Eternal Sleepers biochemical engineers again.” “一般的德鲁伊也想不到那种东西,”高文语气平静地说道,“那是永眠者的技术,严格来讲,是万物终亡会的堕落德鲁伊们创造出来,随后传给永眠者,再由永眠者的生化工程学家们改良之后的神经接驳技术。” The Pittman expression had stunned finally, later he shakes the head, on the face has the helpless smile: „I also think that you do not know these-, since you know why didn't tell Carmel? To let me said?” 皮特曼的表情终于有了一丝愕然,随后他摇了摇头,脸上带着无奈的笑容:“我还以为您不知道这些-既然您知道,为什么不告诉卡迈尔呢？只是为了让我说出来么？” „No, I do not like testing or investigating my subordinate with this way, the present situation to me is only an accident/surprise,” Gawain said confidently, „I have not told Carmel , because this technology is inhumane, moreover it has the huge hidden danger: Implants the man-made nerve rope to change the acceptor significantly the character, even there is a risk that mind collapses.” “不,我并不喜欢用这种方式来考验或调查自己的部下,现在的情况对我而言只是个意外,”高文坦然说道,“我之所以没有告诉卡迈尔,是因为这项技术并不人道,而且它有巨大的隐患:植入人造神经索会大幅度改变受体的性格,甚至有心智崩溃的风险。” „...... Truly so, the man-made nerve rope is not a very controllable thing,” Pittman nods, „looks like you truly is knows that...... I am very curious about Eternal Sleepers and All Things Finally Die secret, you after contacting their knowledge, how to see to them?” “……确实如此,人造神经索是个很不可控的东西,”皮特曼点了点头,“看来您确实是知道很多关于永眠者和万物终亡的秘密……我很好奇,您在接触了他们的知识之后,对他们是怎么看的？” „They are grasping in specific domain extremely advanced technology, moreover has probably some sense of mission, I even suspected that they think oneself in saving the world- this is looks from their some big plans. But this cannot change their method evil the fact, cannot show that their goals are correct,” Gawain places on the teacup the table, said at a moderate pace, „, if the direction made a mistake, the knowledge are more is reactionarier, if the method made a mistake, are diligently more evil.” “他们掌握着在特定领域极为先进的技术,而且好像带着某种使命感,我甚至怀疑他们自以为自己在拯救世界-这是从他们的一些大计划上看出来的。但这既不能改变他们手段罪恶的事实,也不能证明他们的目标正确,”高文把茶杯放在桌上,不紧不慢地说道,“如果方向错了,知识越多越反动,如果手段错了,努力越多越罪恶。” The Pittman look had some changes in that flash, Gawain does not talk clearly the concrete reason and content of that change is anything, but in this instance, he truly felt look that being smiling of Pittman that matter camouflage, looks down on the world abated shortly, serious and desolate makings appear on this little old man unexpectedly- , but also is only that short flash. 皮特曼的眼神在那一瞬间有了些变化,高文说不清那变化的具体缘由和内容是什么,但在这个瞬间,他确实地感觉到皮特曼那层伪装的嬉皮笑脸、玩世不恭的模样短暂消退了,一种沉重而落寞的气质竟出现在这个小老头身上-但也只是那么短短的一瞬间而已。 „Right that you said that the direction and method......” Pittman smiles, in the smile fills to self-ridicule, „talent thing truly is exists, some people can achieve thing that others cannot achieve since birth easily- you so pointed out simply the key is, I actually used all might the most lifetime to knock master your two words the meaning.” “您说的对,方向和手段……”皮特曼笑了笑,笑容中充满自嘲,“天赋这东西确实是存在的,有些人生来就能轻而易举地做到别人做不到的事-您如此简单就指出了关键所在,我却摸爬滚打了大半辈子才磕磕碰碰地搞懂您这两句话的含义。” „These words are not I create, it is wisdom of predecessor, I borrow and transform,” Gawain is saying, on the face shows the earnest expression, „Pittman, was the time has a frank and sincere talk.” “这些话不是我创造出来的,它是前人的智慧,我只是借用和改造,”高文说着,脸上露出认真的表情,“皮特曼,是时候开诚布公了。” Pittman is welcoming the Gawain's gaze, after the short several seconds of silence, he opened the mouth finally in a low voice: „I am All Things Finally Die Withered Priest, once yes.” 皮特曼迎着高文的注视,在短暂几秒钟的沉默之后,他终于低声开口了:“我是万物终亡的枯萎神官,曾经是。” Really so. 果然如此。 In the Gawain heart breathes a sigh of relief gently, he had the suspicion in this aspect is not a time twice, was only Pittman without the driving opens the mouth , he there would be no to inquire on own initiative, but today, taking advantage of „man-made nerve rope technology” this turning point, his suspicion is confirmed finally. 高文心中轻轻舒了口气,他在这方面产生怀疑已经不是一次两次了,只是皮特曼没有主动开口,他便没有主动询问,而今天,借着“人造神经索技术”这个契机,他的怀疑终于得到了证实。 Before he opens the mouth, Pittman also has something to be talked about later unexpectedly: „Simultaneously I am also Eternal Sleepers Nightmare Master- once was.” 然而在他开口之前,皮特曼竟还有后话:“同时我也是永眠者的噩梦导师-曾经是。” All Things Finally Die Society believer, is the Eternal Sleepers member?! 既是万物终亡会的信徒,又是永眠者的成员？！ This then stemmed from Gawain to expect completely, little old man that his with astonishment looks at on the face the wrinkle grows thickly at present: „Did you join two Religion simultaneously?!” 这便完全出乎高文预料了,他惊愕地看着眼前脸上皱纹丛生的小老头:“你同时加入了两个教派？！” „All Things Finally Die that first joins,” Pittman is shaking the head, „that is when I am very young- to be honest, I truly want to work as legitimate Druid at first, moreover I really am the Heart of Forest school of thought that but destiny type of thing so did not reason with...... in the town to have the famine, is under-production that the mana corrosion caused, conventional Druid magic spell simply did not have the effect, even my teacher ran afterward, everyone did not have the means that solved the problem until external Druid, therefore I on with that new Druid , when his apprentice- afterward I knew, He is All Things Finally Die Forest Shepherd.” “是先加入的万物终亡,”皮特曼摇着头,“那是在我很年轻的时候-说实话,我最初确实是想当个正统的德鲁伊的,而且我真的是林木之心学派,但命运这种东西就是如此不讲理……镇子里发生了饥荒,是魔力侵蚀造成的减产,常规的德鲁伊法术根本没有效果,连我的导师后来都跑了,所有人都没办法,直到一个外来的德鲁伊解决了问题,于是我就跟了那个新德鲁伊,去当他的学徒-后来我才知道,他是万物终亡的牧林者。” „Then did you join All Things Finally Die Society?” The eye of Gawain looks at Pittman, is difficult to cover in the heart curious, „how do that you join Eternal Sleepers?” “然后你就加入了万物终亡会？”高文看着皮特曼的眼睛,难掩心中好奇,“那你又是怎么加入永眠者的？” „I think All Things Finally Die Society technology can cure the land, can solve the famine, can make me learn the true knowledge, but I discovered afterward they are only one group of lunatics, the opportunity that therefore I while exchange one time joined Eternal Sleepers- in Eternal Sleepers memory researcher, has this world's richest knowledge, although I am not an expert to Dreamland magic spell, but I am interested in their other knowledge very much......” “我原本认为万物终亡会的技术能治愈土地,能解决灾荒,能让我学到真正的知识,但后来我发现他们都只是一群疯子而已,于是我就趁着一次交流的机会加入了永眠者-在永眠者的记忆智库中,藏有这个世界上最丰富的知识,虽然我对梦境法术并不在行,但我对他们的其他知识很感兴趣……” „Then you discovered that they are another group of lunatics,” Gawain knows when Pittman is young the experience possibly is not such simple, obviously but the opposite party is not willing to say is so detailed, therefore also with slightly crossed this topic, „were you separated from Eternal Sleepers? Then?” “然后你发现他们是另一群疯子,”高文知道皮特曼年轻时的经历绝不可能是这么简单,但显然对方并不愿意说的那么详细,于是也就跟着略过了这个话题,“你脱离了永眠者？然后呢？” Pittman lets go: „Then? Then I run into an inferior young thief, adopted chirp not to have Half-Elf of heart of respect for elders with him.” 皮特曼一摊手:“然后？然后我就遇到一个蹩脚的小贼,跟着他收养了个叽叽喳喳毫无尊老之心的半精灵。” Gawain speechless, later smiles: „I also think that you must join Children of the Storm, after all three Religion you joined two.” 高文哑然,随后笑笑:“我还以为你还要加入风暴之子呢,毕竟三个教派你都加入两个了。” Children of the Storm...... 风暴之子啊…… On the Pittman face showed the look of recollection in a flash, is smiling bitterly shaking the head of: „I have also really looked for them, but cannot learn to swim, is seasick, what important cannot eat the Sashimi, has not gone.” 皮特曼脸上一瞬间露出了回忆的神色,随之苦笑着摇了摇头:“我还真找过他们,但学不会游泳,又晕船,更重要的是吃不惯生鱼片,就没去成。” Gawain: „......” 高文:“……” This looks not proper, swindle, skin compares, to never revere old Druid, once has the mammoth life. 这个看上去毫不正经,坑蒙拐骗,皮的一比,为老不尊的老德鲁伊,曾有着波澜壮阔的人生。 Although Gawain to Pittman that unknown and mammoth life truly a little interest, but looks at the appearance of opposite party, this little old man is avoiding to that life obviously vigorously, therefore he nods: „You have been separated from them now.” 虽然高文对皮特曼那不为人知又波澜壮阔的人生确实有点兴趣,但看对方的样子,这个小老头显然在对那段人生极力回避,因此他只是点了点头:“你现在已经脱离他们了。” „Was separated many years,” Pittman said calmly, „spoke the truth, I almost forgot oneself during that time once was their one, initially that transformation person who exploded in the wharf had a scare me, I think that they walked in finally- result showed that compared with unimportant person who my midway rebelled and fled, the historical figure who your walked from the legend can cause them to pay attention.” “脱离很多年了,”皮特曼平静地说道,“说实话,我几乎忘记了自己当年曾经是他们的一员,当初那个在码头上爆炸的改造人把我吓了一跳,我以为他们终于找上门了-结果证明比起我这种中途叛逃的小人物,还是您这个从传奇里走出来的历史人物更能引起他们关注。” „I have a matter to be very curious, are you really only 3rd Level low rank Druid?” Gawain is sizing up Pittman up and down, your reality...... ” “我有一件事很好奇,你真的只是个三级的低阶德鲁伊？”高文上下打量着皮特曼,你的真实……” Pittman gives a calm smile: „Rebels and flees twice, is to pay the price- present I, truly is only 3rd Level low rank Druid.” 皮特曼淡然一笑:“两次叛逃,是要付出代价的-现在的我,确实只是个三级的低阶德鲁伊。” „...... So that's how it is.” Gawain accepted the view of opposite party, but in his behind landing out of the window, is transmitting in the garden more and more bustling merriment sounds. “……原来如此。”高文接受了对方的说法,而在他身后的落地窗外,正传来庭院中越来越热火朝天的笑闹声。 He asked: „Did Amber know your past?” 他问道:“琥珀知道你的过去么？” „She does not know, I do not want to make her know,” Pittman shakes the head, „twice joins dark Religion is not the honored experience, although I confessed that has not done any dishonorable matter, but I want isolate oneself this past and Amber life- her life should with these darkness irrelevant, she should be worry-free, has not worried, do not go to the day feeling alarmed and anxious, and is under the good training and education......” “她不知道,我也不想让她知道,”皮特曼摇摇头,“两度加入黑暗教派并不是什么光彩的经历,虽然我自认并没有做什么伤天害理的事,但我还是想把自己这段过去和琥珀的人生隔离开-她的人生应该和这些黑暗无关,她应该无忧无虑,没有牵挂,不要去过担惊受怕的日子,并得到良好的训练和教育……” „Said that she sneaking into a house to pick a lock to work as the potluck, will also drill to others family/home ancestral tomb in skid coffin casket, I feel you with her foster father to her education possibly not good......” “这么说吧,她都把溜门撬锁当家常便饭,还会钻到别人家祖坟里撬棺材板了,我觉得你跟她养父对她的教育可能并不怎么良好……” Pittman thinks: „...... You said also makes some sense.” 皮特曼想了想:“……您说的也有一定道理。”
