„Had you complied with the invitation of Tollund?!” “您已经答应了塔尔隆德的邀请？！” In the Gawain's study room, just learned that this situation Hetty stared in a big way the eye, a face with astonishment not handles looks at at present be with smile on the face Ancestor. 高文的书房内,刚刚得知这一情况的赫蒂瞪大了眼睛,一脸惊愕无措地看着眼前面带微笑的老祖宗。 „Right,” Gawain knows early Hetty can be this response, he nods with a smile, „naturally is not now on set off- at least must wait for the Magic Goddess event completely to subside, various after the domestic business also arrange to be appropriate .” “没错,”高文早知道赫蒂会是这个反应,他笑着点了点头,“当然不是现在就出发-起码要等魔法女神的事件彻底平息,国内各项事务也安排妥当之后。” On the Hetty face the astonished expression has not removed completely, but look of her looks at ancestor that smile, listening to him to respond indifferently, then conscious to this is not carried away by a whim of opposite party, ancestor perhaps is thinks later below decision, but this decision...... some go beyond the expectation, was too helpless. 赫蒂脸上惊愕的表情还是没有完全褪去,但她看着先祖那微笑的模样,听着他淡然的回应,便已经意识到了这不是对方的心血来潮,先祖或许是深思熟虑之后下的决定,只不过这个决定……有些过于超出预料,实在太让人手足无措了。 „On the other hand, I as if truly should discuss with you,” Gawain looks at Hetty, patted the forehead suddenly gently, is somewhat sorry said, „this is not my matter, my decision is somewhat careless.” “话说回来,我似乎确实应该和你们商议一下,”高文看着赫蒂,突然轻轻拍了拍额头,有些抱歉地说道,“这已经不是我一个人的事情了,我的决定有些草率。” „No, I am not this meaning,” Hetty rushes to shake the head, „I was only too surprised. Since you had decided that thinks you have your reason.” “不,我不是这个意思,”赫蒂赶忙摇头,“我只是太惊讶了。既然您已经这么决定,那想必您是有自己的理由的。” „Reason has, Dragon race is the strong and mysterious influence, to the mortal state, can be very rare with such an opportunity of influence contact ; Tollund has is too mystical the unknown place, I speculated that their civilization ranks likely go far beyond Loren Continent, this point need to observe the understanding ; Dragon race is civilization that experienced magic tide still to last repeatedly, intelligence in this aspect was to us precious,” Gawain orderliness distinct is saying, finally shakes the head, „, but to me, these reasons were not main, what was main was...... they have Gods that arrived at this mortal world, but this Gods as if had the words to me say.” “理由有很多,龙族是个强大且神秘的势力,对凡人国度而言,能和这样一个势力接触的机会很难得;塔尔隆德有太多神秘未知之处,我推测他们的文明等级很可能远远超过洛伦大陆,这一点需要观察了解;龙族是个经历过多次魔潮仍然存续的文明,这方面的情报对我们而言非常宝贵,”高文条理分明地说着,最后摇了摇头,“但对我个人而言,这些理由都不是最主要的,最主要的是……他们有一个降临尘世的神明,而这个神明似乎有话要对我说。” „You meant that ‚dragon god’......” Hetty knits the brows slightly, „you have mentioned this matter with us. Then you think this Gods is friendly?” “您是说那个‘龙神’……”赫蒂微微皱眉,“您跟我们提起过这件事。那么您认为这个神明是友善的么？” „Is indefinite, but is at least certain It is the rational intelligent exchange,” Gawain said that „until now, we have not contacted any rational intelligent exchange directly ‚normal’ Gods, these either are the false gods who Evil Cultist makes, either like Ritter special, and world Myriad Gods difference huge ‚new god’, is Amorn such is separated from the god position, Divine Attribute already the decline most ex-god ’...... they also has certainly very big reference and exchange value either ‚, but dragon God the exchange value obviously is more special, and is unable to substitute.” “不确定,但至少可以肯定祂是有理智能交流的,”高文说道,“至今为止,我们没有正面接触过任何有理智能交流的‘正常’神明,那些要么是邪教徒制造出来的伪神,要么是像娜瑞提尔那样特殊的、和世间众神差别巨大的‘新神’,要么是阿莫恩那样已经脱离神位,神性已经衰退大半的‘昔日之神’……他们当然也有很大的参考和交流价值,但龙神的交流价值显然是更特殊且无法替代的。” Hetty is nodding gently, obviously she has to acknowledge Gawain in the view in this aspect, but the anxious color between her eyebrows had not removed: „...... You said is very right, but this still had very big risk, particularly now...... you go to Tollund to face too many unpredictable variables, we have not been able to determine that ‚dragon god’ has what goal, but the danger is actually true and real.” 赫蒂轻轻点着头,显然她不得不承认高文在这方面的看法,但她眼眉间的忧虑之色仍未褪去:“……您说的很对,但这仍然有很大风险,尤其是现在……您亲身前往塔尔隆德会面对太多不可预料的变数,我们还不能确定那位‘龙神’到底有什么目的,可危险却是实实在在的。” Saying, she could not bear swing under: „If we can first and Tollund conduct the exchange of ambassador level according to the normal diplomatic flow well......” 说着,她忍不住摇了下头:“如果我们能按照正常的外交流程先和塔尔隆德进行大使层面的交流就好了……” „Pitifully this is not normal ‚diplomatic act’,” Gawain said, „in the opposite party opinion, this one time is only in view of my invitation, is us wants to obtain more incomes from this invitation unilaterally. Be not thinking the matter that exchanges the ambassador, need not counts on at least now- this ‚Gods’ is not meaningful to that It is not interested.” “可惜这并不是正常的‘外交行为’,”高文说道,“在对方看来,这只是一次针对我个人的邀请罢了,是我们这边单方面地想要从这次邀请中得到更多收益而已。别想着互派大使的事了,起码现在不用指望-这对那位‘神明’而言没什么意义,祂也不感兴趣。” Afterward his looks at seems to be falling into Hetty that intertwines to think deeply about( this Cecil housekeeper usually as if always to fall into to for various reasons intertwining to worry that in goes), on the face shows the smile, comforts: „I had considered various contingencies- has the evil intention including the Tollund aspect, under dragon Shenshe the possibility of trap, I in having grasp and measure in the situation of advantages very much to comply with this invitation.” 随后他看着似乎正陷入纠结思索的赫蒂(这位塞西尔大管家平常似乎总是会因为各种各样的原因陷入到纠结担忧里去),脸上露出笑容,安慰起来:“我是考虑过各种意外情况的-包括塔尔隆德方面存在恶意,龙神设下陷阱的可能,我是在有很大把握并权衡过利弊的情况下答应这次邀请的。” „Did you have confidence?” Hetty subconsciously said, her looks at at present that as if forever confident, family ancestor who forever gives people the reliable feeling, suddenly wants to ask that as how body of mortal he to have confidence the short distance faces directly attitude unclear Gods, however has words on the tip of the tongue she to swallow back. “您有把握？”赫蒂下意识地说道,她看着眼前那似乎永远都胸有成竹,永远都给人可靠感觉的家族先祖,一时间很想问问身为凡人之躯的他如何有把握去近距离直面一个态度不明的神明,然而话到嘴边她还是又咽了回去。 She thinks suddenly oneself this ancestor „is different after all sorts that dying and being reborn displays from the place of Human Race”, thinks the opposite party when facing the Gods knowledge even Gods remains revealed the strong resistivity that even suppresses the ability, thinks his forward-looking plans and inconceivable knowledge...... the ancestor once said these knowledge somewhat come from the Gondor time, somewhat came from him when historical fragment that the soul condition sees, however she searches the old book, cannot find from the Human Race history with these knowledge correspondences, even if tiny bit clue. 她突然想到了自己这位先祖在死而复生之后所表现出来的种种“不同于人类之处”,想到了对方在面对神明的知识甚至神明的遗骸时所表露出来的强大抵抗力甚至压制能力,想到了他那些前瞻性的计划以及不可思议的知识……先祖曾解释说那些知识有些来自刚铎时代,有些来自他在灵魂状态时看到的历史碎片,然而她查遍古籍,也未能从人类的历史中找到与那些知识对应的、哪怕一丝一毫的线索。 „I understood,” she lowers the head, „I will arrange all as soon as possible, in day that in you temporarily leave, here will still operate orderly.” “我明白了,”她低下头,“我会尽快安排好一切,在您暂时离开的日子里,这里仍然会有序运行下去的。” Ancestor of dying and being reborn, perhaps already, not only „Human Race”, this point she from had then detected long before indistinctly, no matter but the opposite party has many secrets, this several years time at least proved a point: To this people on land as well as land, Gawain Cecil truly is a mountain that is worth depending upon and trusting. 死而复生的先祖,或许已经不只是个“人类”了,这一点她从很早以前便已经隐隐约约有所察觉,但不管对方有多少秘密,这数年的时光都至少证明了一点:对这片土地以及土地上的人民而言,高文·塞西尔确实是一座值得依靠和信赖的山。 To Hetty, she also only knew this 700 years later ancestor who comes back to life- this enough. 对赫蒂自己而言,她也只认识这位七百年后复生的先祖-这就够了。 „I will not leave too for a long time, this is one time short ‚visit’,” Gawain nods, he cannot see Hetty to lower the head the later expression, but several years being together has been able to make him detect in this case fluctuating on opposite party state of mind, he shows a smile, is moderate, „felt relieved, I will come back safely- and as soon as possible.” “我不会离开太长时间,这将是一次短暂的‘访问’,”高文点点头,他看不到赫蒂低下头之后的表情,但数年的相处已经能让他在这种情况下察觉到对方心绪上的起伏,他不禁露出一丝笑容,语气温和,“放心,我会平安回来的-而且尽快。” Afterward he beckons with the hand, for the time being slightly crosses this topic, speaks thoughtlessly to ask: „First did not discuss these. You are so early, what situation has to report?” 随后他摆了摆手,暂且把这个话题略过,随口问道:“先不谈这些了。你这么早过来,是有什么情况要报告么？” „Yes,” thinks the originally goal of own this morning catching up with, Hetty reorganized a train of thought quickly, „before I bring latest monitor report that the Thorin main hub sent in......, has presented that mysterious signal, appeared this morning!” “是的,”想到自己今天一大早赶来的原本目的,赫蒂赶快整理了一下思绪,“我带来了索林主枢纽发来的最新监听报告……之前出现过的那个神秘信号,在今天凌晨又出现了！” Gawain was startled, then recalls „mysterious signal that” Hetty mentioned is anything, immediately is startled: „Appeared!?” 高文怔了一下,紧接着便记起了赫蒂提到的“神秘信号”是什么,顿时吃了一惊:“又出现了！？” „Is......, moreover is similar to the beforehand situation, it continued to conduct the broadcasts of several cycles, the middle is mixing with the short high-frequency shake and duplicated profile, later on such as suddenly appeared general and vanished mystically- we still cannot catch the supply oscillator, decoded the aspect not to have the progress.” “是的……而且跟之前的情况非常类似,它持续进行了数个周期的播放,中间夹杂着短促的高频率震荡和重复性波形,随后就如突然出现时一般又神秘消失了-我们仍然未能捕捉到信号源,破解方面也毫无进展。” The Gawain brow tight wrinkle, the sinking sound said: „Therefore...... this signal with Magic Goddess irrelevant......” 高文眉头紧皱,沉声说道:“所以……这个信号跟魔法女神无关……” They at the discussion, that mysterious signal that before the Thorin main hub and Northern Region cold winter hub once received, it originates unclearly, the meaning is unclear, appears like a spirit in the monitor boundary of magic circuit terminal towering, after bringing some time noise and ripple , will then vanish mystically, this signal makes all technology personnel be confused, to investigate its details, Gawain even specialized related Dragon race, Siren and Elf three parties, actually still cannot make clear its origin. 他们在讨论的,正是之前索林主枢纽和北境凛冬枢纽都曾接收到的那段神秘信号,它来源不明,含义不明,就像一个幽灵般突兀地出现在魔网终端的监听边界,带来一段时间的噪声和波纹后便会神秘消失,这信号让所有的技术人员都一头雾水,为了调查它的底细,高文甚至专门联系了龙族、海妖和精灵三方,却仍旧未能搞清楚它的来源。 This mysterious signal has provoked the nerves of many. 这神秘信号挑动过很多人的神经。 In the Magic Goddess invasion and after magic circuit escape, Empire many technology personnel- even includes Gawain- subconsciously related two matters. 而在魔法女神入侵并通过魔网逃逸事件发生之后,帝国的许多技术人员-甚至包括高文自己-都下意识地把两件事联系到了一起。 Gawain once suspected that Magic Goddess is Fort Thorin and Coldwinter Castle receives the origin of mysterious signal twice, even suspected that these strange signals are Magic Goddess before the execution escapes the plan when to the magic circuit probe phenomenon that creates-, although does not have the substantial evidence, but the rationality of this guess is very high, therefore many people think. 高文一度怀疑魔法女神就是索林堡和凛冬堡两次收到神秘信号的来源,甚至怀疑那些诡异的信号就是魔法女神在执行逃亡计划前对魔网试探时造成的现象-尽管没有充足的证据,但这种猜测的合理性很高,所以不少人都是这么想的。 However now...... Magic Goddess has been confirmed the radical escape and was far away from the Human Race world, she in the trace that in magic circuit leaves behind also by Ritter and Duarte radical elimination, that strange mysterious signal appeared again!! 然而现在……魔法女神已经被证实彻底逃逸并远离了人类世界,她在魔网中留下的痕迹也被娜瑞提尔和杜瓦尔特彻底清除,那诡异的神秘信号却再次出现了！！ „Only had the Thorin main hub to monitor?” Gawain is frowning, „do several other hubs have similar report?” “只有索林主枢纽监听到了么？”高文皱着眉头,“其他几个枢纽有没有类似报告？” „Currently does not have, that signal is unstable, is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if only will then appear in the quite accidental situation and is caught by our magic circuit crystal,” Hetty shakes the head, „several other main hubs are inspecting last night to early morning these days's all monitor logs at present, looked clue that omits- the signal that if they receive is weak and short, that was may be neglected very much by then on-duty personnel, but in the cushion crystal array perhaps will leave some traces.” “目前还没有,那个信号并不稳定,时强时弱,似乎只有在比较偶然的情况下才会出现并被我们的魔网水晶捕捉到,”赫蒂摇了摇头,“不过其他几座主枢纽目前正在检查昨天午夜到凌晨这段时间的所有监听记录,看有没有遗漏的线索-如果他们收到的信号过于微弱和短促,那是很有可能被当时的值班人员忽略掉的,但缓冲水晶阵列里或许会留下些痕迹。” „Un......” Gawain nods slowly, „lets their earnest, this signal...... makes me highly care, it is not very ordinary. Magic Goddess has pounded to be chaotic in our magic circuit one time, now this signal appears again, perhaps explained fellow incessantly Magic Goddess that wants to disturb.” “嗯……”高文缓缓点了点头,“让他们认真查查,这个信号……让我非常在意,它很不一般。魔法女神已经在我们的魔网里捣过一次乱了,现在这信号再度出现,恐怕说明想要捣乱的家伙不止魔法女神一个。” Hetty lowers the head, bows to receive an order: „Yes, ancestor.” 赫蒂低下头,躬身领命:“是,先祖。” Hetty left, Gawain fell into the thinking behind the desk, later he looks up to the side, in looks at air separates out Amber slowly. 赫蒂离开了,高文在书桌后面陷入了思索,随后他抬头看向身旁,看着身旁的空气中慢慢析出一个琥珀。 Miss Half-Elf is blinking the eye, on the face is the accidental/surprised and puzzled look: „I also think that Magic Goddess travels the later that signal matter to consider as finished......” 半精灵小姐眨巴着眼睛,脸上是意外和困惑的神色:“我还以为魔法女神跑路之后那个信号的事就算完了呢……” „I have also thought- all of us think the signal that Fort Thorin and Coldwinter Castle receive is Lane Magic Goddess comes out,” Gawain is deeping frown, „but looking back now, this very possible is two not related events......” “我也这么以为过-我们所有人都以为索林堡和凛冬堡接收到的信号是魔法女神出来的,”高文眉头紧锁着,“但现在看来,这很可能是两件并不相关的事件……” „If Ritter successful left behind Magic Goddess at that time were good,” Amber subconsciously said, „like this we can confirm directly with the opposite party, even if that signal is not she does, perhaps she also knows that anything- after all many are a god, understood ought more than the mortal.” “如果当时娜瑞提尔成功把魔法女神留下就好了,”琥珀下意识说道,“这样我们可以直接跟对方确认一下,哪怕那信号不是她搞出来的,说不定她也知道些什么-毕竟多少是个神,懂的总该比凡人多一些。” Listens to Amber the GuGu sound, Gawain to shake the head, what words had not said. 听着琥珀嘀嘀咕咕的声音,高文只是摇了摇头,什么话都没说。 ...... …… After two days . 两日后。 Late autumn the cold wind of season has blown Holy Spirit Plain of length and breadth, looks up to the sky from the Thorin area, only sees day of tall Yunxi, in the field of vision sunny open. 深秋时节的寒风吹过广袤的圣灵平原,从索林地区仰望天空,只看到天高云稀,视野中晴朗开阔。 The season of frequent precipitation even snowing must arrive, such sunny day perhaps will be in the following several months getting fewer and fewer. 频繁降水甚至降雪的季节就要到了,这样晴朗的日子在接下来的几个月里恐怕会越来越少。 In the autumn wind moves, in Thorin great tree that huge crown transmits one crash-bang the sound, the innumerable branch exudes the sound in the crown deep place, in as if that certain structures are moving and reorganizing, there is the continual fricative and a trundle sound transmits, seems some type of thing is going through in the crown deep place, left behind the sound along the way. 在秋风吹动中,索林巨树那庞然的树冠中传来一阵哗啦啦的响动,数不清的枝丫在树冠深处发出响声,似乎那里面的某些结构正在移动和重组着,又有连续的摩擦声和滚动声传来,仿佛是某种东西正在树冠深处穿行,沿途留下了声响。 The peak of Thorin great tree, crown canopy most upside, extremely crowded wooden structure and leaf blade of heterogenity overlapped to form like the steel stable plane, this scale endured compared with Market Village „green ground” on is fixing the a series of man-made facility- had to prevent the railing that personnel lost footing to crash, has street light that the illumination used, small-scale barometric observation and plucker, but largest, then situated in all facilities central, together was been that fixed the huge crystal array by massive metal frameworks and complicate vines and supported: Thorin main hub array. 索林巨树的顶端,树冠层的最上部,极其密集的木质结构和异质化的叶片交叠起来形成了如钢铁般稳固的平面,这规模堪比城市广场的“绿色地面”上固定着一系列的人造设施-有防止人员失足坠落的围栏,有照明用的路灯,还有小型的气象观察和采集装置,而其中规模最大的,则是位于所有设施中央的、由大量金属框架和盘根错节的藤蔓共同固定和支撑起来的庞大水晶阵列:索林主枢纽阵列。 This is the entire Holy Spirit Plain peak, is one of the Thorin area most important facilities, around that large-scale crystal array, can see more than ten complete equipment large-scale Tree-man, they all split up „guard who” grows to come from the Thorin great tree, is responsible massive precious installments that protects on this great tree and great tree trunk carries, on these Tree-man is dressing up the heavy/thick alloy armor, the back and waist will fix Human Race to be incapable, on tank that radically bears to use to the large-scale magic circuit energy package, in the hand is raising the might astonishing Gorgon artillery, each will seem like powerful., Making one dread. 这是整个圣灵平原的最高点,也是索林地区最重要的设施之一,在那规模庞大的水晶阵列周围,可以看到十几个全副武装的大型树人,它们皆是从索林巨树中分化生长而来的“卫士”,负责守护这座巨树以及巨树身上挂载的大量宝贵装置,这些树人身上披挂着厚重的合金装甲,背后和腰部固定着人类根本无力负担的、战车上才会用到的大型魔网能源包,手中则提着威力惊人的戈尔贡炮,每一个看上去都威风凛凛,令人畏惧。 But the defense strength of Thorin main hub also continues they- 而索林主枢纽的防御力量还不止它们- Slightly is far place in the crystal array, the edge area that the crown withstand/top, exceptionally is thick the firm wooden structure to grow from the branch, these just like the Giant arm wooden structure terminal all „gripping tightly” the rail gun or the large-scale bomb slinger of fortress level, these might astonishing defense firepower are being another security of Thorin main hub. 在水晶阵列稍远一些的地方,树冠顶的边缘区域,还有很多异常粗大坚固的木质结构从枝丫间生长出来,那些宛若巨人手臂般的木质结构末端皆“紧握”着要塞级的轨道炮或大型炸弹投掷器,这些威力惊人的防卫火力是索林主枢纽的另一道安全保障。 The magic circuit main hub is extremely the important Empire strategic facility, not only Thorin great tree here is this, in several other main hubs, has the protection strength of similar rank. 魔网主枢纽是极为重要的帝国战略设施,不仅索林巨树这里是这样,在其他几处主枢纽,也有着差不多级别的防护力量。 In one crash-bang in sound, nearby crystal array „ground” on opened an opening suddenly, was used in covering „ground” the leaf blade opened to both sides, formed as if the flower petal crowding around structure, one „basket that” became by the vine natural growth rose from the opening. 在一阵哗啦啦的声响中,水晶阵列附近的“地面”上突然张开了一道裂口,原本用于覆盖“地面”的叶片向两旁打开,形成了仿佛花瓣簇拥般的结构,一个由藤蔓天然生长而成的“笼子”则从裂口中升了上来。 The basket stops steadily, the side vine opened Margarita and several technology personnel walked layer upon layer from inside. 笼子平稳停下,侧面的藤蔓层层打开玛格丽塔和几名技术人员从里面走了出来。 Covered the protecting shield of entire top of the tree platform to isolate the cold strong winds of upper air, greeted the visitor, only then top crown grand open scenery, Margarita inspires gently, cannot bear somewhat sighed: „No matter comes up many times, here scenery is such impressive......” 笼罩整个树顶平台的护盾隔绝了高空的冷冽狂风,迎接访客的只有树冠顶部壮丽开阔的风景,玛格丽塔轻轻吸了口气,忍不住有些感叹:“不管上来多少次,这里的景色都是这么令人惊叹……” A sound of xi xi su su conveys from side, before envelopped some vines that separated to wriggle to get together from the fluctuation, changed Belterra look in a fusion and distortion, this past All Things Finally Die Dean nods to Margarita: „Looks into the distance to all around from such high place will really have not general feeling-, if you have the need, I can also go against make a higher observation post in the crown again.” 一阵窸窸窣窣的声音从旁边传来,之前从升降笼上分离出去的部分藤蔓蠕动着聚合起来,在一阵融合、变形中变化成了贝尔提拉的模样,这位昔日的万物终亡教长对玛格丽塔点点头:“从这么高的地方向四周眺望确实会有很不一般的感觉-如果你有需要,我还可以在树冠顶上再制造一个更高的瞭望台。” „No, does not need, the good intention thank you, Belterra lady,” Margarita to rush saying that later looks to the crystal array of not far away, „your majesty presents extremely to pay attention to the signal again, what your does here have newly to discover?” “不,不必了,谢谢你的好意,贝尔提拉女士,”玛格丽塔赶忙说道,随后看向不远处的水晶阵列,“陛下对信号再次出现一事非常关注,你这里有什么新发现吗？” „Track attempt has been defeated, the supply oscillator vanished thoroughly, but in my perception range could not find any clue,” Belterra shakes the head, „in trying to be analyzing these already the signal that records, I had a discovery probably.” “跟踪尝试已经失败,信号源彻底消失了,而我的感知范围内找不到任何线索,”贝尔提拉摇摇头,“不过在试着分析那些已经记录下来的信号时,我好像有了点发现。” Please remember this book first round domain name:. 4 novel net cell phone version reading websites: 请记住本书首发域名:。四小说网手机版阅读网址:
