说实话,如果刨除掉最后那点“传教”一般的说教的话,高文对维罗妮卡的印象还是不错的,这位圣女公主确实有着吸引人而且令人忍不住想要称赞的特质:她谦逊,有礼,温和,平易,这种种特质放在如今这个时代的贵族身上可都是稀有品质,而且高文能看得出来,她的平易近人并非伪装,也并非只针对自己在经过营地中那些杂乱的工地,看到那些忙碌又粗俗的平民和农奴时,她也始终保持着微笑相对,不管言行还是眼底的神色中都没有任何鄙夷与隔阂,而她身旁的那个科恩伯爵就完全是一副嫌弃和不耐烦的模样了。Even ifVeronicais the performing skillis astonishing, shipped out and civiliansintimateappearance, looks likethisquite is not easyinGawainafter all, in the aristocrats of thistimewill not considerfrom the startwithcivilianintimatenecessity, theyinstallto be disinclinedto install.
而且即便维罗妮卡是演技惊人,装出了和平民亲近的样子,在高文看来这也相当不易毕竟,在这个时代的贵族们压根就不会考虑跟平民亲近的必要,他们连装都懒得装。Butin the final analysis, Veronicaisone is also convertedearlyGod of Holy Lightbeliever, moreovernowlooks likethislike the outside worldspreadsis not a purepolitical business, shewas the belief of wholeheartedlyandinvestedthatReligion, evenfrantic of a littleinvestment.
但说到底,维罗妮卡也是一个早早便皈依圣光之神的信徒,而且现在看来这并不像外界传扬的那样是一次单纯的政治交易,她是全身心的信仰与投入了那个教派,甚至投入的有点狂热。Gawaindoes not conflicttoReligion, particularlyinthisworldhasin the situation of strength of truebelief, heregards ashereoneReligioninevitably and natural phenomenonregards, sincethesegodssheltered the mortal under namesomewhat, hewill not produceanythingnot to have the malice of reasontoGods, buthehasto accept after checking unable to bearVeronicathatpreachingtype the attitude...... in the final analysis, hisa littleprevious life„respect Gods and demons from a distance”attitude.高文对宗教本身并不抵触,尤其是在这个世界存在真正信仰之力的情况下,他是将宗教视作这里的一种必然与自然现象来看待的,既然那些神多多少少庇护了名下的凡人,他也不会对神明们产生什么没来由的恶感,但他却有点接受不了维罗妮卡那种传教式的态度……说到底,他还是有点前世“敬鬼神而远之”的态度。Veronicanoticed the Gawain'sshift in attitudevery muchkeenly, butshehas not thought that whenregarded as an aristocratto involve the rulenormalvigilantfeelinghimto the alien influence, after allsaidno matter how, this „Saintess Princess”in the given namealsohalf was Princess, shehas the royal familyshadowsomewhat, thereforeinthistopic, sheselectedtostops.维罗妮卡很敏锐地注意到了高文的态度变化,但她并没有多想,而是将其视作了一个贵族对外来势力介入自身统治时的正常警惕感,毕竟不管怎么说,她这个“圣女公主”的名号里还有一半是公主,她多多少少是带着王室的影子的,因此在这个话题上,她点到即止。Finally, thesehonored guestsfromRoyal Capitalthenarrivedstartedto leave.
最后,这几位来自王都的贵客便到了启程离开的时候。Clearwater Riverbank„whiteoaknumber”has prepared forstartingset off, Gawainis gazing afterthatSaintess Princessandhertwoaccompanyingpersonnelmoves toward the springboardtodeck, butbeforesteppingdeck, Veronicastoppedsuddenly, andhas turned around: „The issue that Duke Cecil, actuallymycomparisontakes the libertywantsto askyou, butdoes not dare saying that at this moment can yousatisfy my later generationsmallcuriosity?”白水河畔的“白橡木号”已经做好启程出发的准备,高文目送着那位圣女公主和她的两位随行人员走向通往甲板的跳板,但在踏上甲板之前,维罗妮卡突然停了下来,并转过身:“塞西尔公爵,其实我有一个比较冒昧的问题想要问您,只是一直没敢说出口,此刻您能不能满足一下我这个后辈小小的好奇心呢?”Gawainnodswith a laugh, hethought that ownexpressionat this momentcanwith the gentlenessdescribe„junior”frontholds the Ancestorracksimplyinthesemost of the day, entering the playwas too serious: „Has the issueto ask that so long asIknowanddoes not involve the privacy and secreton the line.”高文笑呵呵地点头,他觉得自己此刻的表情简直可以用慈祥来形容在这几位“小辈”面前揣着老祖宗的架子大半天,入戏太严重了:“有问题就问吧,只要我知道而且不涉及隐私和机密就行。”„Ido not know that thisisrelated to the privacy,”Veronicasmiled, „, inyou...... belong to Kingdom of the Deadtheseyears, can youonceseeGods?”
“我也不知道这算不算涉及隐私,”维罗妮卡浅浅地笑了起来,“在您……归于死者国度的那些年里,您可曾见过神明么?”Althoughsheis smilinglightly, Gawainalwaysfeltinthatsmilestillto bringfrantic of somebeliever, hewas in a dilemmahehetwo, let go: „Withoutseeing is not probably thorough, Gods that during that timediesdo not havefrom the start, whenIam a deceased person, gaveto disregard.”
尽管她只是淡淡地笑着,高文却总觉得那笑容中仍然带着某种教徒的狂热,他不尴不尬地呵呵两声,一摊手:“没见过大概是当年死的不透彻,神明们压根没当我是个死人,就给无视了吧。”„Isthis......”Veronicasomewhat seems to be disappointed, sheshakes the headlooking pensive, „thankedyourreply, IinLordfrontforyouandyourFeudal Territorypray.”
“是这样么……”维罗妮卡似乎有些失望,她若有所思地摇了摇头,“感谢您的回答,我会在主的面前为您和您的领地祈祷的。”Spokethese words, thisSaintess PrincessthenhasCount Cohenas well asthatstepped the deckinSandyPriestess that in the Gawainline of sightshinesfrom beginning to end, threepeople of formsthendisappearbehind the whiteoaknumberbroad sidequickly.
说完这句话,这位圣女公主便带着科恩伯爵以及那位从头到尾都在高文视线里发光的珊迪女神官踏上了甲板,三人的身影很快便消失在白橡木号的船舷后面。
The fleetleft, Gawainand the otherswent down the wharf, returns to the camp.
船队离开了,高文等人走下码头,返回营地。On the road, Hetty that finds timeto see offappearssomeconcerns, Gawainseesthento askher: „Whatthinks?”
在路上,抽空过来送行的赫蒂显得有些心事,高文看见便问她:“想什么呢?”Hettyopenedseverallower mandibles, cannot bearsay: „Ancestor, heard that youdid refuseYour HighnessVeronicato helpyouplan to build the Holy Light Churchgood intention?”赫蒂张了几下嘴,还是忍不住说道:“先祖,听说您拒绝了维罗妮卡殿下帮助您筹建圣光教会的好意?”„Is the good intention......”Gawainpursing the lipslip , the eye of looks atHetty, „do youfeelwhy notproper?”
“是好意么……”高文抿了抿嘴唇,看着赫蒂的眼睛,“你觉得有何不妥么?”„Holy Light ChurchPriesthave the cure and comfortingwill of the peopleability,”Hettysaid,„Feudal Territorypresentmedical servicepersonnellacksvery much, althoughMr. PittmanisqualifiedDruid, buthehas the larger partenergy to placein the agriculture, potion that compoundsfalls short of demandfor a long time, particularlyrecentbattlecreatedmanywounded person, the medicine that onFeudal Territorystockpiledalmostused up, but must go to the Tanzan Townpurchaseurgently the line, ifonetotwoGod of Holy LightPriest, evenpracticePriest was also merely good, relaxedthissituationsufficiently.”
“圣光教会的神官们有着治愈和安抚人心的能力,”赫蒂说道,“领地现在的医疗人员很缺,虽然皮特曼先生是个合格的德鲁伊,但他有一大半的精力要放在农业上,配制出来的药水长期供不应求,尤其是最近的战斗造成了不少伤员,领地上储备的药物几乎用光了,还要紧急去坦桑镇采购才行而如果有一到两名圣光之神的神官,甚至仅仅见习神官也行,就足以缓和这种情况。”„Yes,”nearbyRebeccacannot bearopen the mouth saying that „ourFeudal Territorycannot provide forofficialChurchnow, oneselftake out moneyto askPriestvery not cost-effectiveYour HighnessPrincessto wantindividualinvestmentto helpusestablishChurch, thatcansave the bigsum of money! MoreoverPriest that Your HighnessPrincesssendsdefinitelyis notdabbler in thatcountrysideSmall Church, is cost-effective.”
“是啊,”旁边的瑞贝卡也忍不住开口道,“咱们领地现在根本供养不起一个正式的教堂,自己掏钱请神官很不划算的公主殿下愿意个人出资帮咱们建立教会,那能省好大一笔钱呢!而且公主殿下派过来的神官肯定也不是那种乡下小教堂里的半吊子,多划算嘛。”„Ido not likeHoly LightReligion,”AmbermumbledinGawainbehind, „theirweird and incomprehensible, moreoverwas mechanicalandstubborn, my typebelievedDark Night Goddesshas killedtheir familyprobablyinborn, indifferentlywhichwalkedbythem......”
“我不喜欢圣光教派,”琥珀在高文身后嘟嘟囔囔,“他们神神叨叨而且又刻板又顽固,我这种信仰暗夜女神的就好像天生杀过他们全家似的,走哪都被他们冷眼……”RebeccawhiteAmber: „That is really notbecauseyoudo run up to Holy LightChurchto steal the thingall day long?”瑞贝卡白了琥珀一眼:“那真不是因为你成天跑到圣光教堂里偷东西?”„Do not talk nonsense! Whichmytimesteals the thingto be discovered?!”Amberis staring, „theyhad not discoveredobviouslyalso the thingmustaskme who whostealsto trouble, what doesn't thatstir up troubleis?”
“你别胡说!我哪次偷东西被发现过?!”琥珀瞪着眼,“他们明明都没发现东西是被谁偷的还要找我麻烦,那不是挑事儿是什么?”Gawainandtwobiggranddaughtersare dumbfounded, Miss Half-Elfthisstronginvinciblelogicinstantaneousthreekill.高文和俩大孙女目瞪口呆,半精灵小姐这强无敌的逻辑瞬间三杀。AfterwardGawaindecidesto disregardthisonlydisgrace of all living thingsthoroughly: „Iknow certainly that the suggestion of Veronicacanmakeusverycost-effective, butI have myconsiderationyoureallyto think that shehelpsusestablishlocalChurch, coversChurchto sendPriest is so simplepurely?”
随后高文决定彻底无视这只万物之耻:“我当然知道维罗妮卡的建议会让我们很划算,但我也有自己的考量你们真觉得她帮助咱们建立当地教会,就单纯只是盖个教堂派个牧师那么简单么?”Hettyreallydoes not have a musclelikeRebecca, sherespondedquickly: „Do youmean...... behindthisperhapsto haveroyal family and Holy Light Cathedralshadow? Shouldnot...... Princess Veronicahonestanddevoutwell-known, sheletter/believesGod of Holy Lightsincerely, will never makebenefitrelatecontaminationherbelief......”赫蒂不像瑞贝卡那样是真的只有一根筋,她很快反应过来:“您是说……这背后恐怕会有王室和圣光大教堂的影子?应该不会吧……维罗妮卡公主的正直和虔诚世人皆知,她虔信圣光之神,从不会让利益关系污染她的信仰……”„She, does not mean that othersnot, haven't youseen the person who shebrings?

“她不会,不意味着别人就不会,你们没看到她带来的人么?一个是根正苗红的圣光大教堂高阶女神官,虽然全程没说几句话,但几乎半步都没离开维罗妮卡,一个是国王亲自册封的内廷伯爵而且这个内廷伯爵还是从东境罗伦家族‘切割’出来的,”高文撇了撇嘴,“王室和教廷,在那位圣女公主身边一站就跟左右护法似的,片刻都不给维罗妮卡离开他们视线的机会。那位公主殿下自己的虔诚信仰很显然压根就挡不住别的不太虔诚的人有什么想法,在这种情况下她的好意我可不敢轻易接受。”HettyandRebeccahearhere, cannot help butshowedlooklooking pensive, the former was pondering that royal familyandChurchpossibleideaandplan, but the latterwas mainly ponderingAncestorblablasaidisanything.赫蒂与瑞贝卡听到这里,都不由自主地露出了若有所思的神色,前者是在思考王室与教会可能的想法与打算,而后者则主要是在思考老祖宗巴拉巴拉说的到底是啥。Gawainsaid,alsoraised the matter that madehimalsocare aboutvery much: „Moreover...... Ithought that Princess Veronicamakesonecaretoa few words that Ispokevery much.”高文说完,紧接着又提起了一件令他也很在意的事情:“另外……我觉得那位维罗妮卡公主跟我说的一句话很令人在意。”Amberis curious: „Whichwords? Sheis manyto the words that youspoketoday!”琥珀好奇起来:“哪句话?她今天跟你说的话多了!”„Gods, althoughare many, onlyhasGod of Holy Lightto containall, in the Holy Lightend, is the simplemindednessall living things'finalredemption,” a Gawaincharacterdid not fall to the groundto repeatVeronicathatas ifpreachingexcuse, „didn't youfeelthese wordsa littleissue?”
“诸神虽多,却唯有圣光之神可包容一切,在圣光的尽头,才是愚者众生最终的救赎,”高文一字不落地重复了维罗妮卡那句仿佛传教般的说辞,“你们不觉得这句话有点问题么?”„Hasanyissue, is notthathelpssentence that weird and incomprehensibleHoly Lightzealotusuallymostlikesusing,”Amberflexure the hair, „theymostare lovingispropagandizestheirgodsto have the multi-universal loveto seem like the entire worldistheirson......”
“有啥问题,不就是那帮神神叨叨的圣光神棍平常最爱用的句式么,”琥珀挠着头发,“他们最爱的就是宣传他们的神有多博爱就好像全世界都是他们儿子似的……”„Behindmajoritytrulyis the Holy LightReligionpreachingwordright, butsheaddedGodsinfront, althoughare many,” the Gawain'stoneis somewhat serious, „these wordsare very brief, shesaid is also very indifferent, butthese wordswill not beHoly Light Churchbelieverwill usually say.”
“后面大部分确实是圣光教派的传教词没错,但她在前面加了一句诸神虽多,”高文的语气有些严肃,“这句话很简短,她说的也很淡然,但这句话可不是圣光教会的信徒们平常会说的。”Hettyresponded, nottoodefinitelysaid: „Is this...... dominatesGod of Holy LightaboveallMyriad Gods?!”赫蒂反应了一下,不太肯定地说道:“她这是……把圣光之神凌驾于所有众神之上么?!”Gawainslight nod: „An induction of noteye-catching, buttrulyisthismeaning.”高文微微点头:“一个不引人注意的诱导,但确实是这个意思。”Presentseveryone'scomplexionto be strange.
在场所有人的脸色都古怪起来。Thisworldbeliefis many, this pointwasGawain has long known: Well-knownbigReligionreachesdozens, in the countriesdisseminateslimitedsmall religionto reachseveral hundreds, butthesehide, slightlyorganizedinsideVajrayana of inheritanceto believeincertainsmall groupswas the degree of innumerability, butalmosteverycanstabilizeReligion that inheritedto haverespectiveDivine Spell, thisalsomeans that behindthemhadtrueDivine Powerto originateGods, orsuch asGodsgeneralpowerfulanythingthing.
这个世界信仰繁多,这一点是高文早就知道的:有名有姓的大教派多达数十,乡野之间传播有限的小教派则多达数百,而那些隐藏起来的、在某些小团体小组织里面传承的密宗信仰就更是达到了多不胜数的程度,而几乎每一个能稳定传承的教派都会有各自的神术,这也就意味着他们背后存在真正的神力来源一个神明,或者如神明一般强大的什么东西。ButsuchmanyReligion, is actually maintaining the aspect of relative balanceonpresentcontinent, theirbalancesare even aloofabove the countryandrace, even ifseveralcountrieserupted into the war, mainstreamReligion of thesecountrieswill still be at the stay out of itcondition.
而如此之多的教派,在如今的大陆上却维持着相对平衡的局面,他们的平衡甚至超然于国家和种族之上,哪怕几个国家爆发了战争,这些国家的主流宗教仍然会处于置身事外的状态。Thisnaturallyis notcontinuouslyso, actuallyhistorically, thispiece of continentReligionwarbreaks outhas not knownmanytimes, hits the annexation and aggression that the Religionnameis conducting writes all over the history book, even ifduring that timeHuman Raceunifiedin a state the time, inGondor Empirewill also often havefaction of differentbeliefto erupt the situation of local warto appear.
这当然不是一直如此,其实在历史上,这片大陆的宗教战争爆发过不知多少次,打着宗教名义进行的吞并和侵略更是写满史书,哪怕当年人类统一于一个国度的时候,刚铎帝国境内还时常会有不同信仰的派系爆发局部战争的情况出现。Gawainis hangingin the spacetheseyears, looked that the program of Religionwarevensawdegreehere that is sick ofseriouslyproposesoneadditionally, healsohad no wayto turn over/to stand uporclose one's eyesat that time......高文在天上挂着的那些年里,看宗教战争的戏码甚至看到了严重厌烦的程度这里额外提一句,偏偏那时候他还没法翻身或者闭眼……
But how no mattereachReligionhitsbrain fluid, nowtheytrulyare„peace”.
但不管各个教派如何把脑浆子打出来,如今他们确实是“和平”的。Allconflictsstopinthat year that Gondormagic tideerupts.
所有争端都止于刚铎魔潮爆发的那一年。Godschosesilentinthat year that magic tidearrived, silententireoneyear.神明们在魔潮到来的那一年选择了沉默,沉默了整整一年。
