Family members...... 家人…… When hearing this familiar and strange word, Mary had some absent-minded feelings unexpectedly suddenly. 在听到这个熟悉而陌生的单词时,玛丽竟一时间有了些恍惚感。 Until after several seconds, she remembers slowly, oneself truly said oneself decision to the teacher few days ago- she wants to see one side oneself family member. 直到几秒钟后,她才慢慢想起,自己前些日子确实是向导师说出了自己的决定-她想见自己的家人一面。 The young female mage pursing the lips lip, somewhat looks hesitant to own teacher: „They in......” 年轻的女法师抿了抿嘴唇,有些犹豫地看向自己的导师:“他们在……” „The living room in the building,” the Daniel yellowing eyeball is staring at Mary, „you best comb the hair and wash the face to come up again- particularly your hair.” “就在楼上客厅,”丹尼尔泛黄的眼珠盯着玛丽,“你最好梳洗一下再上去-尤其是你的头发。” „Good...... good.” “好……好的。” Mary is too busy is complying, then somewhat left scared witless basement that places Immersion Cabin, she returns to a building, enters the public washroom, put out a hand to turn on the water valve, looks at depended upon the limpid water current that the magical water pump supplied to flow from the metal pipe, the sound of water made her mood gradually tranquil. 玛丽忙不迭地答应着,然后有些魂不守舍地离开了安置浸入舱的地下室,她回到一楼,进入公共的盥洗室,伸手打开了水阀,看着依靠魔导水泵供应的清澈水流从金属管道中流淌出来,哗哗的水声让她的心情渐渐平静下来。 Her family member. 她的家人。 She could not have remembered when oneself leave that home was what kind of scene...... an ignorant little girl, went to the mountain with the big kids together „exploration”, after at nightfall, dispersed with the partners, a freak combination of factors stepped into Magician ancient tower, since then changed the life, since then broke off and relation of family member, now more than ten years of time passes, when the infancy memory has blurred makes decent, only she can also remember, with „family/home” related impression, as if old room that only then leaked out lowly, before resting that a dim inspection lamp that hung in the entrance, as well as these were used to frighten the child story. 她已经记不得自己离开那个家时是怎样的光景了……一个懵懵懂懂的小女孩,跟着大孩子们一起去山里“探险”,入夜之后和伙伴们走散,阴差阳错地踏入魔法师的古老塔楼,从此改变了人生,从此断绝了和家人的联系,如今十几年的时光流逝,孩提时的记忆早已模糊风化,她唯一还能记得的、跟“家”有关的印象,似乎就只有一间低矮漏风的老屋,一盏挂在门口的昏暗提灯,以及那些用来吓唬小孩子的睡前故事。 Unfortunately, in story before these frightened resting, some lot of contents- about black sorcerer, about old castle, in monster and magic servant about mountain- in more than ten years of life 11 after her becomes the reality. 不幸的是,在那些惊悚的睡前故事中,有很多内容-关于黑巫师的,关于古堡的,关于山里的怪物和魔法奴仆的-都在她之后的十几年人生中一一成为了现实。 The water current crash-bang is flowing, Mary handful of the icy cold clear water, whips on own face. 水流哗啦啦地流淌着,玛丽捧起冰凉的清水,拍打在自己脸上。 She already unclear parents' look, but she wants to see them. 她已经记不清自己父母的模样了,但她还是想见一见他们。 Leaves the washroom, young female mage is gradually calm, she noticed that oneself teacher has stood on the corridor, looks at, are seeing unemotionally oneself appear, wears old mage of black robe to nod, then walks in the direction of living room silent. 离开盥洗室,年轻女法师的心情渐渐平静下来,她看到自己的导师已经站在走廊上,正面无表情地看着自己,看到自己出现,身披黑袍的老法师只是点了点头,便沉默不语地向着客厅的方向走去。 Mary takes a step to follow. 玛丽迈步紧随其后。 Before they arrive at the living room gate, a servant goes forward immediately, opened the front door of living room for the master. 他们来到客厅门前,一名仆人立刻上前,替主人推开了客厅的大门。 Mary saw the scene in living room. 玛丽看到了客厅里的景象。 The one side static combustion of fireplace in living room, the red light of furnace fire is shining, in nearby copper system sets on the frame, the dark red couch places in the living room center, the elderly couple who the gray cotton cloth coat and hair that a pair puts on dirty on gray and face the wrinkle has proliferated is sitting on that sofa. 壁炉正在客厅的一侧静静燃烧,炉火的红光照耀在附近的铜制置物架上,暗红色的长沙发摆放在客厅中央,一对穿着脏兮兮的灰布外套、头发都已花白、脸上皱纹遍布的老夫妇正坐在那沙发上。 They sit is very careful, the most body outside the sofa, as if for fear that smeared here magnificent and expensive arrangement. 他们坐的很小心,大半个身体都在沙发外面,仿佛生怕弄脏了这里华贵的陈设。 It seems like the teacher only brought her parents, but has not brought her elder sister. 看来导师只带来了她的父母,而没有把她的姐姐也带来。 The elderly couple on sofa also saw person who the entrance presents, they almost then stand up instantaneously, is showing the smile that the awe and flattered to Daniel, then they looked to arrive in Daniel behind Mary, in this flash, separated more than ten years of family member to meet finally. 沙发上的老夫妇也看到了门口出现的人,他们几乎是瞬间便站起身来,对着丹尼尔露出敬畏和谄媚的笑容,然后他们才看到站在丹尼尔身后的玛丽,在这一瞬间,分隔了十几年的家人终于见面了。 Mary decides looks at that to the elderly couple, the eyeball rotations of looks at their pollution, the line of sight falls on own law robe, looks at they reveal the humble awe slowly the expression, looks at they bend the waist slowly. 玛丽定定地看着那对老夫妇,看着他们那浑浊的眼珠转动,视线落在自己的法袍上,看着他们慢慢露出谦卑敬畏的表情,看着他们慢慢弯下腰来。 This a series of movements, as if the conditioned reflex is ordinary. 这一连串动作,就仿佛条件反射一般。 „Respectable Lord Mage.” She hears that to call itself to the couple. “尊敬的法师大人。”她听到那对夫妇如此称呼着自己。 Mary somewhat feels helpless, she hears Daniel to open the mouth in side, tone chilling: „This is your daughters, does not need to salute.” 玛丽有些不知所措,她听到丹尼尔在旁边开口,语气冷硬:“这是你们的女儿,不必行礼。” Then is straight the body to the elderly couple, having one to look at Mary one astonishedly, but astonished still remains obvious nervous, Mary does not know oneself were anything felt at this moment, her lip wriggled several, finally squeezed out the sound from the lip seam: „Father, mother......” 那对老夫妇这才直起身子,带着一丝惊异看了玛丽一眼,但惊异中仍然残留着明显的紧张,玛丽不知道自己此刻是什么感觉,她嘴唇蠕动了好几下,才终于从唇缝中挤出声音来:“父亲,母亲……” What used is very standard, resident's -type pronunciation, the word usage is also quite grave, upper -type title- over the past several years no matter how , because she lived, her teacher is always from Imperial Capital, has knowledge and education remarkably high level mage, in the teacher hanger-on, she has not studied other speech ways. 用的是非常标准的、市民式的发音,用词也是较为庄重的、上层式的称谓-因为不管她过去十几年的生活如何,她的导师都始终是一个来自帝都的,拥有卓然学识和教养的高阶法师,在导师门下,她并没有学过其他的说话方式。 When childhood has contacted these country customs, is fuzzy in her mind. 童年时接触过的那些乡野习惯,早已在她的脑海中模糊了。 The elderly couples in hearing Mary as if gawked after their names, is nodding cautious, is repeating dry: „Good, good, really good......” 老夫妇在听到玛丽对他们的称呼之后似乎愣了一下,然后才拘谨地点着头,干巴巴地重复着:“好,好,真好……” When everyone sits down after several sofas, in the living room quick awkwardly is then peaceful. 等所有人在几张沙发上坐下之后,客厅中很快便尴尬地安静下来。 Mary thought deeply about to say that diligently anything eased up the atmosphere, quite a while organized the complete sentence: „In family/home...... good?” 玛丽努力思索着自己应该说些什么来缓和气氛,半天才组织出完整的句子:“家里……都还好吧？” „Good, good...... the grain enough to eat,” bends the waist the humpbacked man to nod again and again, „are you also good? Does the grain enough eat?” “好,好……粮食够吃,”弯腰驼背的男人连连点头,“你也好吧？粮食够吃吧？” „...... I do not need to worry about food or clothing,” Mary somewhat said irritably, „you...... also do live in the countryside now?” “……我衣食无忧,”玛丽有些别扭地说道,“你们现在……还住在乡下么？” „Also can go?” The old woman who the wrinkle proliferates said that „house and place in that side, draft animal.” “还能去哪？”皱纹遍布的老妇人说道,“房子和地都在那边,还有牲口。” „How do you come?” “你们是怎么过来的？” „This mage Lord sends people to receive us,” old woman looked at Daniel one cautiously, „carriage that we ride, very big carriage.” “这位法师老爷派人把我们接过来的,”老妇人小心翼翼地看了丹尼尔一眼,“我们坐的马车,很大的马车。” Afterward she looks at Mary long gown, in the look could not bear take an awe- seemed this awe deeply to engrave in her bone, so long as saw similar thing, even if knew perfectly well that before the way , the person was own blood relation, her also cannot help but nervous will get up general: „You now, are mage......” 随后她又看着玛丽身上的长袍,眼神中又忍不住带上了一丝敬畏-就好像这敬畏已经深深刻印在她的骨子里,以至于只要看到类似的东西,哪怕明知道眼前之人是自己的血亲,她也会不由自主地紧张起来一般:“你现在,是法师啊……” „Yes, I have soon promoted middle rank......” Mary saying that but she did not determine that the present elderly couple can understand middle rank is what meaning. “是,我已经快要晋升中阶了……”玛丽说道,但她并不确定眼前的老夫妇能不能听懂中阶是什么意思。 „Good, you...... you have prospects,” that hunched back man nods, has the smile that is flattering, looked around Daniel one, takes back the vision, „you were taken away by mage Lord, this is your luck, your older sister, your elder brothers do not have your luck well......” “好,你……你是有出息的,”那个驼着背的男人又点起头来,带着一丝谄媚的笑容,看了旁边的丹尼尔一眼,紧接着收回目光,“你是被法师老爷带走了,这是你的幸运啊,你姐姐,你哥哥都没你运气好……” Lucky...... Mary suddenly thought that does not know how should face this word. 幸运……玛丽突然觉得不知该如何面对这个单词。 The topic that can be used to talk seemed to be quick then ended, or from the beginning the topic did not exist. 可以用来交谈的话题似乎很快便结束了,或者说,从一开始话题就不存在。 Mary even more felt not comfortable, she believes that the present elderly couple is also so. 玛丽越发地感觉不自在起来,她相信眼前的老夫妇也是如此。 They are the strangers, has the blood relationship, is actually separated by ten thousand li (0.5 km), they sit in one seem like that very near place, wanted saying that diligently some both sides can feel the harmonious topic, actually installed unable to install continually. 他们是陌生人,带着血缘关系,却又相隔万里,他们坐在一个看似很近的地方,努力想要说些双方都能感到融洽的话题,却连装都装不出来。 Shortly after the second time awkward starts with the awkward silence, the old woman starts to look repeatedly to the entrance, her husband also appears likes a cat on hot bricks more and more- they did not understand how to hide own emotions appropriately, Mary then can see through their ideas and feeling. 在第二次尴尬与冷场开始之后不久,那老妇人开始频频看向门口,她的丈夫也越来越显得局促不安起来-他们不懂得如何得体地隐藏自己的情绪,玛丽一眼便能看穿他们的想法与感受。 Sits in this „magnificently and expensively” place for a long time, this is restless to the elderly couple from countryside, they simply had not felt that from Mary any with the joy that the daughter has a reunion, they are only because an order of mage Lord arrived here, their here every minute is suffering. 坐在这个“华贵”的地方这么长时间,这对来自乡下的老夫妇已经坐立难安了,他们根本没有从玛丽身上感觉到任何与女儿重逢的喜悦,他们只是因为一个法师老爷的命令才来到这里的,他们在这里的每一分钟都是一种折磨。 They look at Daniel one occasionally secretly, in that look even leads to beg. 他们偶尔偷偷看丹尼尔一眼,那眼神中甚至带着一丝乞求。 Mary stood on own initiative. 玛丽主动站了起来。 „Arrives here,” she said in a low voice, „I...... also some magic experiment must do.” “就到这里吧,”她低声说道,“我……还有些魔法实验要做。” „, Good,” old woman followed close on to stand, „that...... that you did your matter.” “哦,哦,好,”老妇人紧跟着站了起来,“那……那你去做你的事吧。” „Do you want to live in several days here?” “你们要在这里住几日么？” „No ,” old woman hurried to beckon with the hand, „family's draft animal also important people looked, leave others too for a long time, we did not feel relieved.” “不,不了,”老妇人慌忙摆手,“家里的牲口还要人照看,留给旁人太长时间,我们不放心。” Mary has not said anything, but nods gently, later as if fled left this room generally. 玛丽没有多说什么,只是轻轻点了点头,随后仿佛逃离一般离开了这个房间。 Even after leaning hall near hiding, she dropped out own teacher conscious oneself crudely- however if this places for a year ago, must incur the punishment of terrifying. 甚至直到躲进附近的偏厅之后,她才意识到自己鲁莽地抛下了自己的导师-而这如果放在一年前,恐怕是要招致恐怖的责罚的。 While violates wrong Mary conscious to oneself, the door of leaning hall suddenly opens, Daniel took a step. 就在玛丽意识到自己犯下错误的同时,偏厅的房门突然打开,丹尼尔迈步走了进来。 Wore old mage of black robe calmly looked at Mary one, spoke thoughtlessly saying: „ I arrange them to rest for day in elsewhere, tomorrow will deliver them to go back. 身披黑袍的老法师只是静静地看了玛丽一眼,随口说道:“我安排他们在别处休息一天,明天会送他们回去。 „ You , if not want to say goodbye them, these days said goodbye on need not. “你如果不想再见他们,这段时间里就不用再见。 „Later, I will send people to look after their life.” “之后,我会派人照看好他们的生活。” Mary lowers the head, sound nie: „......
