红发的阿莎蕾娜微微皱眉,从短暂愣神中惊醒过来,随后低声说道:“不……应该是看错了。我以为看到了熟人,但怎么可能……而且容貌也不一样……”Is saying, shewhileshakes the head: „Does not needto care, wecontinue.”
一边说着,她一边摇了摇头:“不必在意,我们继续吧。”„ThisnewCecilEmpiretrulyand‚Ainz’a littledistinguishes......”SirGoroshnot to suspect, butraised the head, in the looks atnot far awaycity walltheseare exuding the metallic lusterstrangeequipmentandfloatas well as from the city wallhave hungincertainmechanismabovecrystalfalltoDeep Bluecolorcloth curtain of ground- onthatcloth curtainis describingCecilEmpirecrest, undersunlightsplendid, butall these, broughtandpastthatlethargicAinzentirely differentimposing manner, „the statechange of Human Raceis really rapid.”
“这个新的塞西尔帝国确实和‘安苏’有点区别……”戈洛什爵士没有怀疑,而是抬起头来,看着不远处城墙上那些泛着金属光泽的古怪设备、漂浮在某些机械装置上空的水晶以及从城墙上一直垂坠至地面的深蓝色布幔-那布幔上描绘着塞西尔帝国的徽记,在阳光下熠熠生辉,而这一切,都带来了和昔日那个暮气沉沉的安苏截然不同的气势,“人类的国度变化真快。”„Theirallare changing,”Ashlinaspoke thoughtlessly saying that „notlikeDragonwatch Castle- only hadseveral thousandyears of invariablestonesandcompared with a stonemore stubbornold fogy.”
“他们的一切都充满变化,”阿莎蕾娜随口说道,“不像龙临堡-只有几千年不变的石头和比石头更顽固的老家伙。”Dragon descendantentered a city.龙裔们进城了。Thesecome from the northvisitorsto rideextremelycompared with the warhorsebiggeriron greypack animal, puts onwith the Human Raceworldstyledifferentarmoror the overalls, carries the descriptionto have the Great Dragonsidebeastalikewhiteflag, stepped into the Human Racecityin an atmosphere of solemn silence, but the CecilEmpiresoldiersthenstand and wait for a long timein the standing tall and erectcity wall, similarlyby the imposing manner of solemn silence, gazes at these guestfromnorthto arrive atVictoriaDuchessandin front ofGeneralByron.
这些来自极北国度的访客们骑着比战马更加高大的灰白色驮兽,穿着和人类世界风格不同的铠甲或罩衣,携带着描绘有巨龙侧兽像的白色旗帜,在一种庄严肃穆的氛围中踏进了人类的城市,而塞西尔帝国的军人们便伫立在高耸的城墙上,同样以庄严肃穆的气势,注视着这些来自北方的客人来到维多利亚女公爵和拜伦将军面前。According to the etiquette of agreement, the Dragon descendantteamstopsin the squareoutflow boundary, later the ambassador and adviserleave the mount, arrives in front of the hostunder the guidance of attendant, ByronandVictorialeadgovernment affairshallofficialto go forwardto greet, both sides conduct the ceremony that exchanges the copy clerkby holding the banner ofdignifiedEmpire.
按照约定的礼仪,龙裔的队伍在广场外缘停下,随后大使和顾问离开坐骑,在侍从的引导下来到东道主面前,拜伦与维多利亚则带领着政务厅官员们上前迎接,双方在庄严的帝国旗帜下进行交换文书的仪式。

尽管明面上负责接应的人是拜伦,但整个流程最主要的交涉人员还是更熟悉北方情况的维多利亚以及在场的几名顾问人员。身穿白色长裙、披着雪貂短披风的北境公爵首先迎向了那位气质沉稳的中年男人:“戈洛什爵士,以塞西尔皇帝以及这片土地的名义,欢迎你们的到来。”„VictoriaDuchess, canhave such specialopportunityto come to a pay a visitsimilarlygreatstatehappily,”SirGoroshshows a smile, „believes that thiscanbe the unforgettablejourney.”
“维多利亚女公爵,很高兴能有这样特别的机会来拜访一个同样伟大的国度,”戈洛什爵士露出一丝微笑,“相信这会是令人难忘的旅程。”

GeneralByron?”龙裔并没有太多的繁文缛节,新生的塞西尔帝国同样追求简洁高效,双方的初次接触很快便走完了流程,随后维多利亚回过头,看向身旁的拜伦:“拜伦将军,你……嗯?拜伦将军?”Byrondoes not know that the expressionis when stiff, red hairfemales in somelookdifferencelooks atDragon descendant, thisslightlyhas the disrespectfulactionwithout doubt, Victoriasees that unable to bearremindimmediatelyin a low voice: „GeneralByron, pleasenote......”拜伦不知何时已经表情僵硬下来,眼神有些异样地看着龙裔中的一位红发女子,这无疑是略有失礼的举动,维多利亚见状立刻忍不住低声提醒道:“拜伦将军,请注意……”„Ilina?”Byronsubconsciouslyhad actually opened the mouth, „isyou?”
“伊莱娜?”拜伦却已经下意识开口了,“是你?”But the Dragon descendantfemale of thatred hairalmostandByronalsoopens the mouth: „Really are youByron? You...... wait/etc, who is Ilina?”
而那位红发的龙裔女子几乎和拜伦同时开口:“你真是拜伦?你……等等,伊莱娜是谁?”Byronheard the soundlaterobviousexpression that the opposite partyopened the mouththento have the change, seemed likesomeunbelievablematterto be confirmed that butafterhearing the opposite party the question of half, his did not haveto reappearwith enough timecompletelypleasantly surprisedandaccidental/surprisedbecameawkwardlyis stunned: „Eh...... youdid not callIlina......”拜伦听到对方开口的声音之后明显表情便有了变化,似乎是某种难以置信的事情得到了证实,但在听到对方后半截的反问之后,他那还没来得及完全浮现出来的惊喜和意外就变得尴尬错愕起来:“额……你不是叫伊莱娜么……”NearbyVictoriais extremely bright, rapidassociatehas hadbefore and conversation of Byronandreorganizedalllong and short of the story, at this timeactuallycould not bearhas turned the headslightly, evenalmostwantsat the hand-heldvolume.
旁边的维多利亚冰雪聪明,已经迅速联想起之前和拜伦的交谈并整理了一切来龙去脉,这时候却忍不住微微转过头,甚至差点想要以手扶额。Made a any mistake Byronalsorapidconscioustooneself, rushesto explain: „Ipossiblyremembered incorrectly, after allalready20yearsIlisha?”拜伦也迅速意识到自己搞错了什么,赶忙解释:“我可能是记错了,毕竟已经二十年了-伊莱莎?”

红发龙裔的表情却越发古怪:“伊莱莎又是谁?”Byron: „......”拜伦:“……”

现场气氛迅速朝着某种令人始料未及的方向滑落,在这场重要的会面被彻底搞砸之前,戈洛什爵士终于站出来进行了补救:“这位是来自龙临堡的龙印女巫,阿莎蕾娜女士,她曾在人类世界游历,是我们此行的顾问-看样子奇妙的命运竟在今天安排了一场久别重逢?”
The red hairDragon descendantfemaleboth handsoverlapplaces the waistabdomen, noexpressionlooks atByron: „The alias that myduring that timeusesisShanna.”
红发龙裔女子双手交叠放在腰腹,没什么表情地看着拜伦:“我当年用的化名是莎娜。”

“让我们先返回城堡吧,”维多利亚的声音从旁传来,宛若天籁般解救了现场的每一个人,“不能让客人在这里等候太久。”Everyoneexpresses the supportimmediately.

广场上的短暂意外似乎就这样变成了一个小插曲,后续的流程总算在相对顺利的情况下走到了结束,随后,来自圣龙公国的客人们在维多利亚等人的带领下来到了风盾要塞的城堡大厅。

厚厚的墙壁和环绕城堡的护盾阻隔了冷冽寒风,丰盛的宴席已经设下,而在大厅中回荡的轻快乐曲中,之前广场上的插曲再度延续-

在宴会厅内,拜伦和阿莎蕾娜大眼瞪着小眼,不可思议的巧合安排让两个当事人都不知该从何打开话题,同样感叹命运奇妙的维多利亚则出声打破了沉默:“拜伦将军,这位真的是你回忆中的那位‘女剑士’?”„...... Right,”Byrona littletouched the tip of the noseawkwardly, „herappearanceandduring that timehave not changed, myeyesrecognized- actuallycannotbelieveowneye.”
“……没错,”拜伦有点尴尬地摸了摸鼻尖,“她的容貌和当年一点没变,我一眼就认出来了-却又不敢相信自己的眼睛。”„Yourappearanceactuallyand20years ago different,”Ashlinaspoke thoughtlessly saying that „myfirstalsothinkswasownmisconception.”
“你的样子倒是和二十年前大不一样,”阿莎蕾娜随口说道,“我第一眼还以为是自己的错觉。”„20years,”Byronhad shrugged, „, butIamHuman Race.”
“已经二十年了,”拜伦耸了耸肩,“而我是个人类。”

Unexpectedly is really you......, butthispossible...... youobviouslyare only a Southern RegionyoungCommandermercenary, now...... GeneralEmpire? Whatin the twenty yearsexactlyhad?”阿莎蕾娜抿了抿嘴唇,视线在拜伦身上来回扫视了好几遍,才忍不住说道:“……竟然真的是你……可是这怎么可能……你明明只是南境的一个小佣兵团长,现在……帝国将军?这二十年到底发生了什么?”„Iwill sometimes sigh with emotionall theseto have a dreamprobably,”Byronshakes the headwith a smile, „actuallyyou, flatter......, Ashlina, youwhat's the matter?”
“我自己有时候都会感慨这一切像是做梦,”拜伦笑着摇了摇头,“倒是你,阿……嗯,阿莎蕾娜,你又是怎么回事?”„Very difficultto understand?”Ashlinalooked down, on the facecarried over a happy expression, „was sorry,during that timetrulydeceivedyou. Myhometownis notNorthern RegionKazaboro, butisSacred Dragon DuchyDragonwatch Castle, IamDragon descendant-, butthisstatusafter the Human Raceworldis publicmanyto be somewhat troublesome.”
“很难理解么?”阿莎蕾娜低头看了看自己,脸上带出一丝笑意,“抱歉,当年确实骗了你们。我的故乡不是北境的卡扎伯勒,而是圣龙公国的龙临堡,我是一名龙裔-但这个身份在人类世界公开之后多少有些麻烦。”„IsKazabory,”Byroninvestigates the correct pathimmediately, later the looksomewhatlooksstrangelytonearbyVictoria, „said,Ihave not remembered incorrectlythisgeographic name, wasshespoke incorrectly......”
“是卡扎伯雷,”拜伦立刻纠正道,随后眼神有些怪异地看向一旁的维多利亚,“这么说,我没记错这个地名啊,是她说错了……”Victoriafeelssomewhatexhaustedly, nearly the sighsuddenlysaid: „Butyouremembered incorrectly the personal name.”维多利亚突然感觉有些疲惫,近乎叹息般说道:“但你把人名记错了。”„Kazabory?”Ashlinaopened the eyesurprisedly, thenshakes the head, „Ihave thoughtcallsKazaboro, originallymade a mistake......, butno one does unexpectedlysee through?”
“卡扎伯雷么?”阿莎蕾娜惊讶地睁大了眼睛,接着摇摇头,“我一直以为是叫卡扎伯勒,原来是搞错了……但竟然没有任何人识破?”„20years ago...... thatis an unenlightenedage,”Byronsighed, thensomelookslightlydifferencelooks atpresentred hairDragon descendant, „, therefore, yourduring that timehas not died, falling downcliff......”
“二十年前……那是个闭塞的年代,”拜伦叹了口气,接着眼神略有些异样地看着眼前的红发龙裔,“所以,你当年并没死,掉下悬崖……”„Did youhaveto findmycorpse?”Ashlinasuspendedstarting, „thatcliffandJumping Dragon Cliffcomparedto want‚’to be manylovably.”
“你们不是没找到我的尸体么?”阿莎蕾娜摆了下手,“那座悬崖和龙跃崖比起来要‘可爱’多了。”„Thereforeyourduring that timeleavessuddenlyisbecausecanreturn toSacred Dragon Duchy?”
“所以你当年突然离开是因为要返回圣龙公国?”„Otherwise?”Ashlinasmiled, „Irun awaysecretly, butcannotrun awaysecretlyfor a lifetime, the news that after the fatheris seriously illcomes, I can not need notthatwayandyou‚farewell’. Sorry, Byron...... the regimental commander, I was also very youngat that time.”
“不然呢?”阿莎蕾娜笑了一下,“我本身就是偷偷跑出来的,但总不能偷偷跑一辈子,当父亲病重的消息传来之后,我不得不用那种方式和你们‘告别’。抱歉,拜伦……团长,那时候我也很年轻。”„To be honest, if notin 20 years, Ifeared that mustbeginwithyou,”Byronlooked atthisDragon descendantone, „youopen‚joke’ was too a little big.”
“说实话,如果不是过了二十年,我怕是要和你动手的,”拜伦看了这位龙裔一眼,“你开的‘玩笑’有点太大了。”„What...... the during that timecompanionspresentis making?” After the momentis silent, Ashlinarocks the wine glass in hand, the looks atliquid levelis ripplinglayer upon layer the rippleinthatcrystalvessel, seeminglyaskedat will, „youbecameGeneralEmpireunexpectedly, should that others...... alsocrosswell?”
“……当年的同伴们现在都在做什么?”片刻沉默之后,阿莎蕾娜晃动着手中的酒杯,看着液面在那水晶容器中荡漾开层层波纹,貌似随意地问了一句,“你竟成了帝国将军,那其他人……应该也过得不错吧?”„...... Alreadynot, afteryouwalkfewyears...... passed by.”
“……都已经不在了,在你走后没几年……都过去了。”Betweentwooldacquaintancesfell intosuddenlysilent.
两位旧相识之间突然陷入了沉默。20years of timeimpediments, makingeveryonestep ontodifferentroad/s, 20years later accidental/surprisedreunionscannotbring the miracle in whatdestiny- itonlybrought the impressivecoincidence, andgave the litigant the opportunity of recallingduring that time, butafter the recollection, thenonlyleft behindrespectiveto sigh.
二十年的时光阻隔,让所有人都走上了不同的道路,二十年后的意外重逢并不能带来什么命运上的奇迹-它只带来让人惊叹的巧合,并给了当事人一个回忆当年的机会,而在回忆之后,便只留下各自的一丝叹息。Ashlinacarries the wine glass, tosses down the insideremainingliquids, sighedin a soft voice: „The liquor of Human Raceworldissuchinsipid, butthis20yearshave not tasted the flavor...... the presenttastesagainwell, the feelingbut actually.”阿莎蕾娜端起酒杯,将里面剩下的液体一饮而尽,轻声叹息:“人类世界的酒还是这样寡淡,但这种二十年没有尝过的味道……现在再尝一下,感觉倒还不错。”Byronsmiles: „Do not sighfor the misconception, we20years ago is so poor, howto have possibly drunkthistype of nice wine.”拜伦笑了笑:“别为错觉感叹了,我们二十年前那么穷,怎么可能喝过这种好酒。”„Pouring is also,”Ashlinaalsosmiled, „is onlyhas not thought,travelling of during that timeinHuman Raceworldwill makemebecome one of the missiontodayunexpectedly, butgreetsour, unexpectedlyis more than 20years ago ‚regimental commander’...... thisperhapsinsteadis a goodstart.”
“倒也是,”阿莎蕾娜同样笑了一下,“只是没想到,当年在人类世界的游历竟然会在今天让我成了使团的一员,而迎接我们这些人的,竟是二十多年前的‘团长’……这说不定反而是个好的开始。”Shelifts the eyelid, looks atstandsbeforeoneself, wears the straightmilitary officerformal clothes, the bodyis hanging the middle-agedKnight of colorful silk ribbonandmedal.
她抬起眼皮,看着站在自己面前,身穿笔挺的军官礼服,身上挂着绶带与勋章的中年骑士。
The Human Raceworldbecomesreallyquick, the 20years ago aristocrats...... sodo not dress up.人类世界变得真快,二十年前的贵族们……可不是这般打扮。„Said that now,”shesayswith a smile, „howyoudo passin recent years?”
“说说现在吧,”她笑着说道,“你最近几年过得怎样?”
The Peafacial featuresappearin the Byronmind, thisKnight of yearsnearfiftyhas revealedoneto combine the happyandrelievedsmileunavoidably, henods: „Daughterwill have called the father......”豌豆的面容浮现在拜伦脑海中,这位已经年近半百的骑士不免露出一丝混杂着愉快和安心的笑容,他点了点头:“女儿已经会叫爸爸了……”

……„Achoo-”
“阿嚏-”SatPeaonchairsneezedbigsuddenly, is debuggingequipmentPittmanandCarmeland the others of sidehad a scare.
坐在椅子上的豌豆突然打了个大大的喷嚏,把旁边正在调试设备的皮特曼和卡迈尔等人吓了一大跳。„catch a cold?”Pittmansubconsciouslyputs out a handto trace the forehead of Pea, „does not seemto have a fever......”
“感冒了?”皮特曼下意识伸手摸了摸豌豆的脑门,“好像没发烧……”„All right, is the suddennoseis itchy,”aboutPeashakes the head, broadcasts the sound that synthesizesfromspeech, „does not know that side the fathersawSacred Dragon DuchyEnvoydoes not have, calculates that the timewas upprobably...... hopeshimat leastwhen the officialsituationcanenforce, always a far-fetchedappearance......, althoughVictoriaGrand Consulalsointhat side...... rightGrandpaPittman, youhadmagic circuitterminal that canrelateNorthern Regiondirectly? wait a moment......”
“没事,就是突然鼻子痒痒,”豌豆左右晃晃脑袋,从讲话器中传来合成出的声音,“也不知道爸爸那边见到圣龙公国的使者没有,算算时间好像差不多了吧……希望他至少在正式场合的时候能严肃点,不要总是一副不靠谱的样子……唉,虽然维多利亚大执政官也在那边……啊对了皮特曼爷爷,你这边是不是有可以直接联系到北境的魔网终端啊?等一下……”„Stop stop stop-”Pittmandid not wait forPea saying that the skullhas hurt, hurriedto beckon with the handto break the girl who thiseven morelikedreadingrecentlybroken, „youleftexcessivelynervous, Northern RegionDukewill definitely handlegoodall.

“停停停-”皮特曼不等豌豆说完就已经脑壳疼起来,赶紧摆手打断了这个最近越发喜欢碎碎念的女孩,“你就别过度紧张了,北境公爵肯定会处置好一切的。至于你,现在还是专心一点比较好。”„.”Peaflatduck, sits downon the chairhonestly, whatevertechnologypersonnelmanipulateher the metalinstallment of napeconnectioninbehind, onlywhenfeltoccasionallyis very itchycannot bear the neck.
“哦。”豌豆扁了扁嘴,老老实实地在椅子上坐下,任凭技术人员们在后面摆弄她后颈连接的金属装置,只在偶尔感觉很痒的时候忍不住动动脖子。„Situationis good,”Carmelis paying attention to the revolution of nervethorninside, the bodyis flowing the relaxedhappylight bluebrilliance, „thisis the last timeinspection, Pea, congratulatesyou, youcanfeel relieved that from now onusedthisthing.

“情况不错,”卡迈尔在旁边关注着神经荆棘的运转,身上流淌着轻松愉快的浅蓝色光彩,“这是最后一次检查,豌豆,恭喜你,你今后可以放心使用这东西了。当然,鉴于这仍然是一项新技术,你还是要关注它平常的状态,遇上异常情况要及时过来找我们。”„Relax, Irecord”Peajumps downfrom the chair, the tonequitevividlysaid,laterhervisionsweptin the laboratory, subconsciouslyfellon another chair of nearbyexperimentalregion- after similarly there, sits a brain, is connectingtester of nervethorn, butwas different from her, thatwas a wearResearcherwhiterobe, seems like the specializedtechnologypersonnelgentleman.
“放心吧,我会记着的”豌豆从椅子上跳下来,语气颇为轻快地说道,随后她的目光在实验室中扫了一圈,下意识落在了旁边试验区域的另一张椅子上-在那里,同样坐着一名脑后连接着神经荆棘的测试者,但和她不同,那是一位穿着研究员白袍、看起来像是专业技术人员的男士。„Healsointestnervethorn?”That sidePealooks at, askedonecuriously.
