博迈尔勋爵安安静静地坐在那里,努力假装自己是这屋子中本身便有的某种摆设,那位帝国统治者则坐在他的对面,脸上带着某种让他看不透的平静笑容,他听到对方的声音传来:“域外游荡者是他自称的名号,还是你们给他起的名字?
„ Besidesdisplaying the powerfulmindstrengthas well asexposesthese‚to rememberfragment’, whatinhumanspecial characteristics does he have?
“除了展现出强大的心灵力量以及展露那些‘记忆碎片’之外,他还有什么非人的特质么?„Have youcontactedhimdirectly?”

博迈尔勋爵舔着略有点干燥的嘴唇,老老实实地回答着罗塞塔・奥古斯都的问题,但他能准确答复的东西终究还是不多-作为一个被知识引诱而皈依的教徒,他在永眠者中的阶层并不高,在那个森严而神秘的教派内,世俗的身份并不能完全转化为教团中的地位,或者说,区区一个“勋爵”所能带来的利益还不足以让他在永眠者内部爬到中层,而一个像他这样的教徒,对“域外游荡者”的了解仅限于少量公开出来的情报。In fact, until the order of bigevacuation, heknows that alien travellerhas infiltrated the mindnetwork.
事实上,直到大撤离的命令下来,他才知道域外游荡者已经渗透进心灵网络。
After waiting forinthisLord'sbellyintelligenceallcomes outbut actually, RosetaAugustusslightly nodded of: „Good, Bohmeier, youmade the correctchoice.”
等这位勋爵把肚子里的情报全都倒出来之后,罗塞塔・奥古斯都才微微点了点头:“不错,博迈尔,你做了正确的选择。”Bohmeierhurriesto lower the head: „Is......, your majesty.”
博迈尔慌忙低下头:“是……是的,陛下。”„ButIamverycurious, whyyouwill runto inform,”Rosetalooks atBohmeier, seeminglyaskedat will, „youknewriskobviously, even ifdid not consider that mission'ssettlementtoratter, you- a Typhonaristocrat, actuallyfell intodarkReligion, thismatter was still the greatestcrime, butyouactuallyranon own initiativehonestlytomeall these, why was this?”
“但我还是很好奇,你为何会跑来告密,”罗塞塔看着博迈尔,貌似随意地问道,“你显然知道这其中的风险,而且即便不考虑教团对叛变者的清算,你-一个提丰贵族,却堕入黑暗教派,这件事本身也是莫大的罪过,可你却主动跑来向我坦诚了这一切,这是为什么?”LordBohmeierraised the head, is welcomingRosetadifficultly the Augustustranquilline of sight, heopenedseveralmouths, finallyhas the courageto organize the language: „Your majesty, IjoinEternal Sleepers, is onlyfor the knowledge of secret, butIhave never thoughtmustbetrayyoufor this reason- Iknow that ownpresentsaidthesewere unpersuasive, but ifmustmakes the choicebetween a indescribabledemongodandEmpire, IhopeoneselfcandieinTyphonthisone side......”
博迈尔勋爵抬起头来,艰难地迎着罗塞塔・奥古斯都平静的视线,他张了几次嘴,才终于有勇气组织起语言:“陛下,我加入永眠者,只是为了隐秘的知识,但我从未想过要为此背叛您-我知道自己现在说这些毫无说服力,但如果非要在一个不可名状的魔神和帝国之间做选择,我还是希望自己能死在提丰这一侧……”LordBohmeieris saying, in the heartcannot bearexudebitterly and astringently- whenmanyyears ago, whenhe first time mysteriousknowledge that contactsEternal Sleepers, grasped the strength of powerfulmind, hehas never thoughtwill falldeeplyinthisdarkness, secretReligionEternal Sleepers in thisworld, has the Extraordinarygroup that toomust not exposed to the lightto publicize their strangegloomyreligious doctrinesincessantly, announcedandindescribablestrengthhave the transaction, butmost of themtempt the fraud of know-nothing party, heoncethinks that Eternal Sleepers is also, andfeltenoughresourceful, can. IndarkReligion the knowledge and strength that oneselfwant, will not fall intotofrantically their dark„frightenedmyth”, butGod knows......
博迈尔勋爵说着,心中忍不住泛着苦涩-在多年以前,当他第一次接触到永眠者的神秘知识,掌握了强大的心灵之力时,他从未想过自己会在这片黑暗中陷得这么深,这个世界上的隐秘教派不止永眠者一个,有太多见不得光的超凡者团体在宣扬他们那诡异阴森的教义,宣布自己和不可名状的力量有着交易,但它们大多都只是引诱无知者的骗局,他曾以为永眠者也不过是其中一个,并觉得自己足够机敏,可以在黑暗教派中得到自己想要的知识与力量,而且还不会陷入到他们那狂热黑暗的“惊悚神话”里,但谁知道……God knowstheyare seriousunexpectedly, moreoverthatindescribablestrengththenlooked forabovein an instant!谁知道他们竟然玩真的,而且那不可名状的力量转眼便找上头了!WindsorMapelhadoneto pityto look atLordBohmeier, is shaking the head saying: „Toomanypeopleare huggingwithyoursameidea, Bohmeiermister, thiskind of personbelieves that ownluckand‚discrete’, thought that is more careful, the knowledge and strengthare then extremely easy to obtain, buttheyalmostallpaid the highcostfor this reason.”温莎・玛佩尔带着一丝怜悯看了博迈尔勋爵一眼,摇着头说道:“太多人抱着和你一样的想法,博迈尔先生,这类人过于相信自己的运气和‘谨慎’,觉得只要小心一些,知识与力量便唾手可得,但他们几乎全都为此付出了高昂的成本。”Thinks that these attemptbeforeoneselfinform, but the believer of death, LordBohmeiercould not bearhitto tremble: „Ideeplyrealizeall thesenow.”
想到那些在自己之前尝试告密而死的教徒,博迈尔勋爵忍不住打了个寒颤:“我现在深深体会到了这一切。”„Bohmeier, Iwill judgeall that youmakefairly, the crime that turns todarkReligioncommitsafteryou, includingyouat this momentverticalmerit,”RosetaAugustus said that „, butbefore then, Ialsoneedyouto makeverymany things, thisperhapscanmake up foryourmistake.
“博迈尔,我会公正评判你做的一切,包括你投靠黑暗教派之后犯的罪,也包括你此刻立的功,”罗塞塔・奥古斯都说道,“而在此之前,我还需要你做很多事情,这或许能弥补你的错误。„As for the present, youcango to the next roomto rest- relax, WindsorMapelladycanassureyoursecurity, so long asstaysin the obsidianpalace, youdo not needto be worried aboutyourlife.”
“至于现在,你可以去隔壁房间休息了-放心,温莎・玛佩尔女士可以保证你的安全,只要呆在黑曜石宫内,你就不必担心自己的性命。”LordBohmeierstoodexcitedly, bowsto express best wishes: „Extremelythankedyourbenevolence, your majesty.”
博迈尔勋爵激动地站了起来,鞠躬致意:“万分感谢您的仁慈,陛下。”Afterthisimperial palacearistocratleaves the reception room, in the room was only left overRosetaandWindsorMapeltwo people, imperialhead maid of thatblackbecoming darkskirtdoes not know when has departed.
在这位内廷贵族离开会客室之后,房间中只剩下了罗塞塔和温莎・玛佩尔两人,那位黑发黑裙的皇家女仆长不知何时已经离去了。„Your majesty,”WindsorMapellooksto the RosetaGreat Emperor, „Ihave defendedArchmagiciansto send outcommunicationto the value of imperialmageassociation, orderingthemto pass onintelligencetoeach regioncommunicationtowerimmediately, makingvariousassociationfootholdsstartto hunt down the Eternal Sleepersbeliever.”
“陛下,”温莎・玛佩尔看向罗塞塔大帝,“我已经向皇家法师协会的值守大魔法师们发出传讯,命令他们立刻将情报传至各地传讯塔,让协会各处据点开始搜捕永眠者教徒。”„Verygood. MoreovercontactsOlandelllocalsenior officer, makinghimbegin to investigateimmediately,” the Rosetanod said that „intelligence that in addition, Bohmeiergraspsare not many, moreoverregionalEternal Sleepersshouldstartto evacuateat this time, thesefootholdshad emptiedmostly, therefore the key of raidisto intercept these believer who evacuates......”
“很好。另外联络奥兰戴尔的地区长官,让他立刻展开调查,”罗塞塔点头说道,“此外,博迈尔所掌握的情报并不多,而且各地的永眠者这时候应该已经开始撤离,那些据点多半已经空了,因此搜捕的关键在于拦截那些正在撤离的教徒……”„TheirdestinationsareCecil,”WindsorMapelsaid,„that sideCecilianalsoprepared certainlyaiding, even...... the presentsomepeoplehave perhaps crossed the border.”
“他们的目的地是塞西尔,”温莎・玛佩尔说道,“塞西尔人那边也一定做好了接应的准备,甚至……现在恐怕就已经有人越过边境了。”„Issues the warningtoboundaryrecentcommunicationtower, makingtheminterceptto inspect to enterCecildomesticpersonnel and vehicles, particularlynewestseveraltrack lines, moreoverremindedthem, when inspectionmusthavequitepowerfulmageTo assume personal commandEternal Sleepers thebelieverhadminddomainextraordinary force, the sentry post that the average personcomposedis easyto be cheated the breakthrough......”
“对边界最近的传讯塔发出警告,让他们拦截检查一切进入塞西尔境内的人员与车辆,尤其是最新的几条铁路线,另外提醒他们,检查时必须有较为强大的法师坐镇-永眠者教徒拥有心灵领域的超凡力量,普通人组成的岗哨非常容易被蒙骗突破……”Rosetathinkingwhileis saying, afterarrangingitem of a series ofborderinterceptioninspection, heslightlysilent.罗塞塔一边思索一边说着,在安排了一系列边境拦截检查的事项之后,他稍稍沉默了一下。„Moreover, weneedto draw uponeto offer amnesty the announcement......”
“另外,我们需要拟定一份招抚公告……”WindsorMapelsubconsciouslyraises the eyebrow: „Offers amnesty the announcement?”温莎・玛佩尔下意识扬起眉毛:“招抚公告?”Rosetanods: „Is willingto return to the normalsociety, is willingtoEternal Sleepers that Empiregives loyalty , the Augustusfamilyto remittheirpassingcrimeson own initiative, so long astheyare willingto observe the order, will no longer cause the harm, the imperialmageassociationor the Empirelabormakes the associationto considerto admitthem.”罗塞塔点点头:“愿意回归正常社会,愿意主动向帝国效忠的永眠者,奥古斯都家族将赦免他们的过往罪行,只要他们愿意遵守秩序,不再造成危害,皇家法师协会或帝国工造协会都会考虑接纳他们。”„Your majesty,”WindsorMapelcannot bearsay,„youreallydo wanteasilyto remittheseEternal Sleepers? SoremitsdarkReligionmassively, but must admit the mageassociation and laborthemmakesin the association...... thisperhaps......”
“陛下,”温莎・玛佩尔忍不住说道,“您真的要这么轻易赦免那些永眠者?如此大规模地赦免一个黑暗教派,还要把他们接纳进法师协会和工造协会里……这恐怕……”„Theyare evacuatingto the west, CecilEmpirechoseadmittedthem, youthink why thiswas?”Rosetainterrupted the Windsorwords, „Mapellady, youthought why Gawain Cecildoes needtheseEternal Sleepers?”
“他们在向西撤离,塞西尔帝国选择了接纳他们,你认为这是为什么?”罗塞塔打断了温莎的话,“玛佩尔女士,你觉得高文·塞西尔为什么需要那些永眠者?”WindsorMapela moment agobecause of the Rosetaastonishingorder, but the instincthadpuzzled and contradiction, at this timewas remindedslightly, sheshowslooklooking pensiveimmediately, the cluetakes shapein the mindgradually: „...... Gawain Cecilisrule, at least the presentis, henotpure, becauseEternal Sleepersishis‚family member’, butadmitsthem, only ifthistohisruleadvantageous......”温莎・玛佩尔刚才只是因罗塞塔惊人的命令而本能地产生了困惑和抵触,这时候被稍加提醒,她顿时露出若有所思的神色,线索渐渐在脑海中成型:“……高文·塞西尔是一名统治者,至少现在是,他不会单纯因为永眠者是他的‘眷属’而把他们都接纳过去,除非这对他的统治有利……”„Mindnetwork...... inconceivabletechnology, not?”Rosetasaidlightly,„stillrememberswe ’ combineintheserune that ‚ the magic circuitterminalindid find?”
“心灵网络……不可思议的技术,不是么?”罗塞塔淡淡说道,“还记得我们在那台‘魔网终端’里找到的那些符文组合么?”Windsor the brow of Mapelwrinkledlittle.温莎・玛佩尔的眉头一点点皱了起来。„Eternal Sleepers, not onlydarkReligion, they have advancedtechnology, perhapsfrom the beginning, Gawain Cecilsettled onthis pointto contacttheir,”Rosetasaid,what „ mostmademebe a pityandregret, theseEternal Sleepersunder of myeyelid, Iwere slower than him- was the vision of slowinherentideologicalandossificationmakesusmissthisburied treasure, butfortunatelywecurrently have the opportunity of recovery.
“永眠者不只是个黑暗教派,他们还有先进的技术,或许从一开始,高文·塞西尔就是看中了这一点才去接触他们的,”罗塞塔说道,“而最让我可惜和遗憾的是,那些永眠者就在我的眼皮下,我却比他慢了一步-是迟钝的固有思想和僵化的眼光让我们错失了这笔宝藏,但幸运的是我们现在还有补救的机会。
„ Mapellady, finding the wayto findeffectively, blocks the mindnetwork the method, findingcanwipe outin the Eternal Sleepersbrainthoroughly the means of mark, thenpublished the news, said that Empirecansave the person who thesedid not fall into errorcarefully, theyreceivedmisleading of darkReligion, can not withdrawby the cursecontrol, wecanhelpthemrelievecurse, as the matter stands, canall partiesto‚darkbeliever’ the contradictionpsychologyreducedtoslightly, canattractis not willingto go toCecil'sEternal Sleepers.
“玛佩尔女士,想办法找到更有效的、阻断心灵网络的手段,找到能够彻底拔除永眠者脑内印记的办法,然后公布出消息,就说帝国可以拯救那些不小心误入歧途的人,他们只是受了黑暗教派的蛊惑,被诅咒控制才不得脱身,我们能帮他们解除诅咒,这样一来,就可以把各方对‘黑暗教徒’的抵触心理减到最小,也能吸引很多不愿意去塞西尔的永眠者。„Believesme, suchpersonare absolutely many- LordBohmeieris a typicalexample. MostEternal SleepersareTyphonian, causingthemto escapeCecil's, except for‚alien traveller’beyond the order and deterrent, verybigportionfactorwill be the status of theirdarkbelieverwill keepthemfrombasinginTyphon, nowwegivethem the foothold, andwill helpthemget rid of the threat of alien traveller, will havemany people willingto remain.”
“相信我,这样的人绝对不少-博迈尔勋爵是个典型的例子。大部分永眠者都是提丰人,导致他们逃亡塞西尔的,除了‘域外游荡者’的命令和威慑之外,很大一部分因素就是他们黑暗教徒的身份会让他们在提丰无法立足,现在我们给他们立足之地,并且帮他们摆脱域外游荡者的威胁,会有很多人愿意留下来的。”Windsoropens mouth, amonglooksalso some anxieties, butbeforesheopens the mouth, Rosetathencontinues saying: „ Mapellady, the knowledgeisinnocent- orsomepeoplethinkeven ifcertainknowledgehave‚original sin’, forEmpirebenefit, we must graspthem, becausebyusisCecil, butCecil'srule...... already, inmanydomainwalkedin front ofus.温莎张了张嘴,神色间还有一些疑虑,但在她开口之前,罗塞塔便继续说道:“玛佩尔女士,知识本身是无罪的-或者说,哪怕有人认为某些知识带有‘原罪’,为了帝国的利益,我们也必须去掌握它们,因为在我们旁边就是塞西尔,而塞西尔的统治者……已经在很多领域走在我们前面了。„Somethings, wedo not strive, haveothersto occupy, in this regard, Cecilianwill not modestly declineour.”
“有些东西,我们不去争取,自有别人去占据,在这方面,塞西尔人是不会谦让我们的。”Windsornodsslowly- shehad been convinced.温莎慢慢点了点头-她已经被说服了。„Your majesty, Ia littleworried,”she said that „, ifwepublished the news, the upper layer of Eternal Sleepersmissionprobablywill adoptveryintenselydealt- theyare loyal toalien travellerobviously, forbenefit of theirmaster, theycankillsimplyalldoes not defer to the orderto evacuatealsoturns toour‚rebel’?...... Theydoto obtainthismatterasdarkReligion.”
“陛下,我有一点担心,”她说道,“如果我们把消息公布出去,永眠者教团的上层可能会采取非常激烈的应对-他们显然是忠于域外游荡者的,为了他们主人的利益,他们会不会干脆杀死所有不按照命令撤离并且投靠我们的‘叛徒’?作为一个黑暗教派……他们做得出这种事。”„Buttheycannot achieve,”Rosetashakes the head, „, ifthey can also maintaintoeachbeliever'smindmonitoring, LordBohmeiercannot arrive at the obsidianpalace- according toBohmeier'sintelligence, thisdarkReligionalsoreceived very seriousattackin this event, that‚mindnetwork’conditionat this moment is very obviously bad, will therefore haveone after anotherinformantsuccessfullyto contact the bystander. So long asweholdthiscrevice, beforeEternal Sleepersrebuildstheirmindnetworks, as far as possible many are willingto give loyalty to the Empirebeliever's‚separation’fromtheirnetworksto come out, ourgoalswere achieved.”
“但他们做不到,”罗塞塔摇摇头,“如果他们还能维持对每一个教徒的心灵监控,那博迈尔勋爵根本走不到黑曜石宫-根据博迈尔的情报,这个黑暗教派在此次事件中也受了很严重的打击,那个‘心灵网络’此刻的状态显然很糟,所以才会有接二连三的告密者成功接触到外人。我们只要抓住这个空隙,在永眠者重建他们的心灵网络之前,把尽可能多的愿意效忠帝国的教徒从他们的网络中‘分隔’出来,我们的目的就达到了。”„Iunderstood, your majesty, after Igoes back, immediatelyon the matter in arrangedthisaspect. HasLordBohmeierto make the reference, in additionwesuccessachieve‚blocking’, IbelievetodayhereIcanfindthoroughly‚curse’solution-, even ifcould not findsuddenly, Iwill also leadhigh levelmagesto act, detainsmanyEternal Sleepersas far as possible.”
“我明白了,陛下,我回去之后立刻就安排这方面的事情。有博迈尔勋爵做参考,再加上我们今天在这里成功实现了‘阻断’,我相信我能找到更彻底的‘诅咒’解决方案-哪怕一时间找不到,我也会带领高阶法师们出手,尽可能留住更多的永眠者。”Rosetanodsslightly, added: „Moreover, wecannotwait forsurrenderpassively, manybelievers may be the fear and suspicion, butmissesopportunity- thisisIlets the intention that LordBohmeierleaves behind. According tolist that the Lordprovides, youarrangesecretmages the believer who goes to the initiativecontact, to controlthesenot to escapewith enough time, spreadsbythisagain, controlsas far as possible the Aldernanbelievers.”罗塞塔微微颔首,又补充道:“另外,我们也不能被动等待投诚者,很多教徒可能会出于恐惧和怀疑而错失机会-这正是我让博迈尔勋爵留下的用意。根据勋爵提供的名单,你安排秘法师们去主动接触、控制那些还没来得及逃亡的教徒,再以此扩散,尽可能把奥尔德南的教徒都控制住。”„Yes, your majesty.”
“是,陛下。”Aftercompletingall thesearrangements, Rosetalongvents anger, laterhestands up, slowly before pacingto arrive around crystalglass window .
在做完这一切安排之后,罗塞塔才长长出了口气,随后他站起身,慢慢踱步来到了一旁的水晶玻璃窗前。Out of the windowto the obsidianpalaceinternalgarden, severaljust rightlightsscatteredin the gardendimgloomy, coversmagic barrier of entiregardento maketherebe as warm as in spring, has the luxuriantplantto growin the gardenrecklessly.
窗外正对着黑曜石宫的内部庭院,几处恰到好处的灯光驱散了庭院中的昏暗阴森,笼罩整个庭院的魔法屏障让那里温暖如春,有繁茂的植物在庭院中肆意生长着。Theyluxuriantonethroughout the entire winter, this momentspringarrives, barrierwill soon close, the flowers and plants in gardenwill link upseamlesslywelcomenextflower season- the strength of resistancehuman understandingnaturally is so.
它们已经繁茂了一整个冬天,此刻春季降临,屏障即将关闭,庭院里的花草们将无缝衔接地迎来下一个花季-人智之力对抗自然便是如此。Rosetaknows, the Empirelabormakesmages of associationto study to let the means of thiskind of magic barriercost reduction, severaldiscerningscholarthink that thishelpsraise the output of grain, andmaintainsmanyfruits and vegetablessuppliesat the coldwinter, but the research in thisaspect, has continuedseveral years.罗塞塔知道,帝国工造协会的法师们正在研究能让此类魔法屏障成本降低的办法,几名眼光独到的学者认为这有助于提高粮食的产量,并在寒冷的冬季维持更多的果蔬供应,而这方面的研究,已经持续了数年。Oncesucceeds, itsfunctionperhapswas as goodfinds wide applications„Soil of Fertility”technology.
一旦成功,它的作用或许不亚于已经得到广泛应用的“丰饶之尘”技术。But is notveryremoteCecil, definitelyalsohas the smart personinattentionsimilardomain, is conductingsimilarresearch.
而在并不是很遥远的塞西尔,肯定也有聪明人在关注类似的领域,在进行类似的研究。TheystartTyphonare later than manyyears, buttheyin the progress of manydomainfast.
他们起步比提丰晚很多年,但他们在很多领域的进展都飞快。BecausethatCecilrule-, no matterinhisbodyisanything, is„alien traveller”alsogood, issomeHoly Spirit- spare no efforthas been gathering the talent, evento the present, the Typhontalentalsostartedto turn towardCecilto flow.
因为那位塞西尔统治者-不管他那副躯壳里面是什么,是“域外游荡者”也好,是某种圣灵也罢-一直在不遗余力地将人才汇聚起来,甚至到现在,就连提丰的人才也开始向着塞西尔流动了。
A sense of urgencyis striking the Rosetainnermost feelings, makeshimrevealoneto smile.
一种紧迫感在敲打着罗塞塔的内心,却让他露出一丝微笑来。Thistypeclearand„is living”feeling, is really pleasant.
这种真切而“活着”的感觉,实在令人愉快。
