The undergroundworldcoversin the boundlessdarkness, the longtunnelis silent, only then after the earthquake , the ground waterinfiltrates the rock layer of top of the head, thendropsto the groundsound.
地下世界笼罩在无边的黑暗中,长长的隧道寂静无声,只有地震之后地下水渗透进头顶的岩层,然后又滴落到地面的啪嗒声。Thissoundin the pitch-darkprofundity of distant place, resoundsfor a long timeonetime.
这种声音在远处的伸手不见五指的幽深中,长久才响起一次。Medissaafterdrivingto draw backin large numbers the unexpected visitorfromUnderground, has tostop the rest. AlthoughsheisSpectre, butis not representing It is not aware of fatigueSoul Fire theactivity is restraining the undeadcreatureability to actto a certain extent.梅蒂莎在驱退了大批来自地底的不速之客之后,也不得不停下来休息。她虽然是幽灵,可也不代表着不知疲倦-灵魂之火的活跃程度在一定程度上约束着亡灵生物的行动能力。Howevershedoes not need the light, in the darknessonegroup of spookyfluorescencehidesinherpupil, canmakeherseeunder the condition of nolightveryfar.
不过她不需要光,黑暗中一团幽幽的荧光潜藏在她的瞳孔中,可以让她在无光的条件下看出很远。ThisSilver Elf Princesshas not sat down, butissingle-handedin the spear/gunbyrestson the dike, covered entirely the rockstone leopardfragmentaroundherbody, theseincompletecorpseshave scatteredto very farplace.
这位银精灵公主并未坐下,而是单手驻枪靠在岩壁上休息,在她身体周围布满了岩石豹的碎片,这些残缺不全的尸体一直散落到很远的地方。UnlikeBrando, shealmostfromentersthisto be attacked, shehas a bloody roadto come here. Static a meeting, thisSilver Elf Princessaskedto another side in darkness:
与布兰多不同,她几乎从一进入此层起就遭到攻击,她杀出一条血路才来到这里。静了一会,这位银精灵公主向黑暗中的另一边问道:„Does herehave an elevator?”
“这边是有一座升降机吗?”Indarknessnot, only then a Medissaperson, the onlybreathing came from mine roadanother side.
黑暗中并不只有梅蒂莎一个人,唯一的呼吸声来自于矿道的另一边。„Em.”
“恩。”Thatsoundreplied.
那个声音答道。ButMedissahad not felt relieved,shefinishes speaking, the handactuallypressesto beginlong spear, when always the directionlooked at the pastvigilantly. Howevershehad just turned head, on the faceshows the joyfullook, blurtsto shout:
但梅蒂莎并未放心,她话音刚落,手却按上了手中的长枪,警惕地向来时的方向望过去。不过她刚刚回过头,脸上就露出欣喜的神色,脱口喊道:„Sir.”
“大人。”FutureBrandoandScarlett.
来者正是布兰多与茜。Theyhold upilluminationcrystal in hand the rayshoots towards, when seesMedissanotextremelysurprised, theywent against the symbol that thisLittle Silver Elven Princessis leaving behindto trace.
他们举起手中的照明水晶将光线射向这边,看到梅蒂莎时并没有太过惊讶,他们本来就是逆着这位银精灵小公主留下的记号一路追踪过来的。Initiallydiscoveredthatso-called‚fiercefellow’possiblyisMedissa, Brandonotextremelysurprised, thisUndergroundoriginallyonly thentheirthesepeople, are notLittle Silver Elven PrincessareCurran, isJuttadoes not havethisstrength.
当初发现那个所谓的‘厉害的家伙’可能是梅蒂莎,布兰多也没有太过惊讶,这地底本来就只有他们这几个人,不是银精灵小公主就是库兰,就是尤塔都没有这个实力。Howeveraftertheyseeilluminatesanotherperson within range, is actually shocked.
不过当他们看到照亮范围内的另一个人后,却愣住一下。„Medissa.”Brandoasked: „Is this?”
“梅蒂莎。”布兰多问道:“这是?”Heseesto sitingrounddid not say a wordCurran, immediatelya little braincannot make a turn. Thispreviouslyalsopowerfulold personat this momentactuallyin an extremely difficult situation, in the forehead, face, the bluegreymilitary uniformfullis the bloodstain, the grayish whitehairis also chaotic.
他看到坐在地上一言不发的库兰,顿时有点脑子转不过弯来。这个先前还威风凛凛的老人此刻却狼狈不堪,额头上、脸上、蓝灰色的军服上满是血迹,灰白的头发也乱糟糟的。„Mr. Curranis injured.”Medissareplied, thisElven Princessintelligentplacetostopped, morewordsburiedin the hearthave not said. Howeversheknows,Brandounderstands certainly the one's ownmeaning.
“库兰先生受了伤。”梅蒂莎答道,这位精灵公主聪明地点到即止,还有更多的话埋在心中没说出来。不过她知道,布兰多一定了解自己的意思。Old personactuallysnort/hum: „Worked as the captiveto work as the captive, havinganythingwas goodto conceal. Howeverthislittle girllooked that my alsoa littleuses the old bones, temporarilysignedmutual non-aggressionagreementforget it/that's allwithme.”Heis slanting the eyeto look atBrando, „shemayrespecttightlytoyou, the boy, said that is the finaldecision-making powerin‚Sir’inyourhand, said that cankillmusthack?”
老人却哼了一声:“当了俘虏就当了俘虏,有什么好隐瞒的。不过这小姑娘看我这把老骨头还有点用,暂时和我签了一个互不侵犯的约定罢了。”他斜着眼睛看着布兰多,“不过她对你可尊敬得紧,小子,说是最后的决定权在‘大人’你手上,说吧,要杀还是要剐?”Hesaidorally, in the heartactuallycannot bearcursethiselflittle girlbe sly. At that time when mine roadcollapsed, the firstresponse of everyoneon the scenefirstprotected itself, seemed like samestemming from an instinct of lifeself-help, thatfeared that wasexistences of theirtheseGold Levelis no exception.
他口头上这么说,心中却忍不住大骂这个精灵小姑娘狡猾。当时矿道崩坍时,在场的每一个人的第一反应都是首先保护自己,就像是出于一种生命自救的本能一样,那怕是他们这些黄金一级的存在也不例外。HoweverwhatCurranhas not thought that on the sceneis noteveryoneis‚life’.
不过库兰没想到的是,在场不是每一个人都是‘生灵’。Whenlandslide the firstmatter that Medissa does not fall back on the safeplace, butrides the quarry stoneis tumblingattackshim. This is completely the recklessfighting method, evensteadysuch asCurrancould not bearhave a scareat that time.
当山崩时梅蒂莎做的第一件事不是退到安全的地方,而是乘着乱石滚落的时候来袭击他。这完全是不要命的打法,即使稳重如库兰当时也忍不住吓了一跳。HoweverGold Levelfightdecisionvictory and defeatoriginallyalsowhenin the wink of an eye, althoughCurranabsolute strengthfarultraMedissa, before maycome, pursuedBrandoto consume the sharp qifull powerfruitless, secondlylandslideeverything may become vulnerabledid not have the psychologyto preparefrom the start, finallywas struckto go wellto make into the severe woundbyMedissa.
然而黄金一级的交手决定胜负本来也不过就在瞬息之间,虽然库兰的绝对力量远超梅蒂莎,可一来之前全力追击布兰多无果已消耗了锐气,二来山崩时地动山摇压根没有心理准备,结果被梅蒂莎一击得手打成重伤。Finallyif not forthislittle girldragsfrom the quarry stonehim, it is estimated that his solemngoldstrengthreallymustdiein the mining accidentaggrievedly.
最后若不是这个小姑娘把他从乱石里拖出来,估计他一个堂堂黄金力量真要憋屈死在矿难之中了。Howeverturns over toaggrievedlyaggrievedly, heactuallyhas toadmire the Medissacourage and wisdom, tradesto dointhatsituationishe, notnecessarilydaresto make the similarchoice. Was defeatedby the enemyin the battlefield, no matter the reasonisanything, is speechlessasoldsoldierCurran.
不过憋屈归憋屈,他却不得不佩服梅蒂莎的胆识,在那种情况换做是他,也不一定敢做出同样的选择。在战场上被敌人击败,不管理由是什么,作为一个老军人的库兰都无话可说。Howeverhemustknow that Medissais onlySpectre, it is estimated thatin the heartmustyell that regrettedto have a low opinion of the enemy.
不过他要知道梅蒂莎只是一个幽灵,估计心中就要大叫后悔轻敌了。Butlistened tohiswords, a youngsterslightlynod, asked: „Agreement?”
而听了他的话,年轻人略一点头,问道:“约定?”„old mistercompliedto leadmeto findyou, andlefthereto return to the surface, hewas very ripetohereterrain.

“老先生答应带我找到你们,并离开这里回到地表,他对这里的地形很熟。那里有矿道,哪里连接着上一层,哪里可以打通而不会引起更大规模的坍塌,他都知道,”梅蒂莎细细地说道,语调始终不疾不徐-虽然使用的是克鲁兹语,但似乎她一样能自然而然地出着一种精灵的咏叹调一样,“领主大人,前面不远处就有一座升降机,通向第三层得主要矿道,那里四通八达有许多条通向地表的运输道,应当不会都被堵死。”Sheshows a faint smile: „If notold mister, Iwas impossibleto findherequickly.”
她微微一笑:“如果不是老先生,我也不可能这么快就找到这里来。”BrandoknowsshesaidperhapsisGwentheygets downthatelevator, heisremembers that mine roadscaleis very big, hasthreewoodenaxles.布兰多知道她说的恐怕是柯文他们下来那一座升降机,他是记得下来那条矿道规模很大,足足有三条木轨。Hisnodded, looked atCurranone: „What is hiscondition?”
他点了点头,看了库兰一眼:“他的条件又是什么呢?”„Madeold mistersay.”
“让老先生自己说吧。”CurranagainslantingBrando: „Boy, I know yourplans. Originallywas the captiveI, younaturallycanachieve wishesto take over control ofthisplacenothing more to be saidnow, shortonemonth, the longthreemonths, Pallaswill not detectwhatclue.”库兰再斜了布兰多一眼:“小子,我知道你们的打算。本来身为阶下囚我没什么好说的,如今你们自然可以如愿接管这个地方,短则一个月,长则三个月,帕拉斯也不会察觉什么端倪。”Hestopped: „Very simpleas formycondition, Ido not wantto end upwith a Grudinfate.”
他停了一下:“至于我的条件很简单,我可不想落得和格鲁丁一个下场。”
Did heknow? In the Brandoheartis startledslightly.
他知道了?布兰多心中微微一惊。Fir Cityviolentmatterdefinitelycannot conceal the truth, but the Grudinlife and death is actually noteveryoneknowsafterward. It is well known, at the Aouineterritoryrebellionis notmatterat the worst, butbesidesextremelyindividualunfortunate man, had not heard that hasthatreal powerThaneto be killedin the rebellion.冷杉城暴这件事情肯定瞒不住,但事后格鲁丁的生死却不是每一个人都知道。众所周知,在埃鲁因领地暴动并不是什么大不了的事情,但除了极个别倒霉蛋以外,还没听说有那个实权领主在暴动中被杀死的。Therefore after Fir Cityrebellion, most peopleshouldguess that Grudinhas escapedthroughsecret passage. Only thenin the Brandogroupa fewhigh levelsreallyknow that Grudin died againcannotdie.
因此冷杉城暴动之后,大多数人应该猜测格鲁丁已经通过密道逃亡了。而只有布兰多集团中少数几个高层才真正知道格鲁丁是死得不能再死了。Thinks that herehecould not beardeeplylooked atCurranone, if the outside worldhas known the Grudindeath news, then the nature of thismatter is completely different. PerhapsKnight Pallascannot waitto dispatch troopsimmediately, butCount of Radnorestimated that will not leaveTrentheimmoretimeto go to‚to solvethistrouble’.
想到这里他忍不住深深地看了库兰一眼,如果外界已经得知格鲁丁的死讯,那么这件事的性质就完全不一样了。帕拉斯爵士恐怕等不及会立刻出兵,而让德内尔伯爵估计也不会留给托尼格尔更多的时间去‘自己解决这个麻烦’。Ifthatold foxoncedetected that thisterritoryhas the danger of being separated, it is estimated that the needlesstwoweeks of armieswill threaten the border.
如果那个老狐狸一旦察觉到这块领地有脱离的危险,估计不消两周就会大军压境。Backingnews that in the Brandoheartexpectsdoes not win the timesymmetrically, ifCount of Radnordid not confirm that Grudinhad died, thenhewill favorlettingthisgood-for-nothingsonsolvestrouble in the territory.布兰多心中期望的依托消息的不对称来争取时间,如果让德内尔伯爵不确认格鲁丁是不是已经死了,那么他就会倾向于让这个不成器的儿子自己解决自己领地内的麻烦。Becauseat that timein the opposite partyeyestheyareonegroup of rioters, the rioterin the nobleeyehas nothingfearfully, someGrudinhand/subordinatealsomanyretainersnot?
因为那个时候在对方眼中他们不过还是一群暴民,在贵族眼中暴民没什么可怕的,格鲁丁手下还有不少家臣不是么?ButGrudindies, thissmallrebelliononshapewithrebelling-, althoughheknew in the heart that oneselfis truly also carrying out the rebellion, thatfeared that thisrebelliondoes not want the intentionto splitAouine, butis no differentin the nobleeyeinhisbehaviorregarding the game rulesmost seriouschallenge.
但格鲁丁一死,这个小小的暴动就形同叛乱了-虽然他心知自己确实也是在搞叛乱,那怕这种叛乱并不是要意图分裂埃鲁因,但在他的行为在贵族眼中无异于对于游戏规则最严重的挑战。Butinhisplan, whenCount of Radnorrealizedthismatter, at leastshouldbeKnight MinteyeandKnight Pallassuffers a defeat and flees the latermatter.
而在他的计划中,当让德内尔伯爵认识到这件事的时候,至少应该是敏泰爵士与帕拉斯爵士败亡之后的事情了。Before thatheat leastalsohasonetotwomonths.
在那之前他至少还有一到两个月的时间。ButCurransees through the idea in hisheartto be the same probably, thisold personsaid with a smilemystically: „Youdo not needto worry,outsideissomehearsayforget it/that's all. HoweverIlook atyouto appearhere, in the heartunderstands80%- inFir City, at all is not the rioter!”
但库兰好像是看穿他心中的想法一样,这个老人神秘地一笑道:“你不必担心,外面不过是有些传闻罢了。不过我看你们出现在这里,心中就明白了八成-在冷杉城的,根本不是什么暴民!”Then, heshakes the headslightly: „Does not know that wasyouinsaneIwas insane, sinceYear of Piano, Aouinehas about hundred yearsnot to have the rebellionquickly.”
说罢,他微微摇头:“不过不知道是你们疯了还是我疯了,自从琴之年以来,埃鲁因已经快有近百年没有发生过叛乱了。”Brandonods.布兰多点点头。
The time that Year of Pianowas calledto jokingly callfor‚Great Path King’blackwoodsfirstreigns, inthisAouinehistorycan be said as the most notoriousking is also Sifahdynasty one of the finalseveralrulers- thisjokingly callsstems fromhisevenpersonalorganizationarmyto robto pass throughAouine'sallmerchants-, no matterit, is the foreign country.琴之年是被称之为戏称为‘大路王’的黑森一世在位的时代,这位埃鲁因历史上可以说是最臭名昭著的国王陛下也是西法赫王朝的最后几位统治者之一-这个戏称源于他甚至私人组织军队去抢劫经过埃鲁因的所有商人-不管是本国的,还是外国的。Hedeclaredblatantly,everythinginAouine, the properties on allpathsishim, walks the merchant who mustpay the cargo above 2/3tohim- the act that thisis approximatein the chiefprovoked angerbesideshimeveryone. Resultblackwoodsfirstonlyreigned for threeyearsto be caught up with the throne, heevenwasin the Aouinehistory the the onlypositiondiesofangrypeople's the king of hand.
他公然宣称,凡是在埃鲁因境内,一切道路上的财产都属于他,在上面行走的商人必须缴纳货物的三分之二给他-这个近似于山大王的行径惹恼了除了他之外的所有人。结果黑森一世只在位了三年就被赶下了王位,他甚至是埃鲁因历史上唯一一位死于愤怒的民众之手的国王。Naturally, can be inferredtoAouinedomesticlivelihood of the peopleconditionfromthisking'sperformanceat that time. Thatisin the Aouinehistorydarkest the timebesidesthistime, ifevenis notMadara'srises, the presentAouine'schaoticdegreemaysay that could not compareby farat that time.
当然,从这位国王陛下的表现就可以对当时埃鲁因境内的民生境况可见一斑。那是除了这个时代之外埃鲁因历史上最黑暗的时代,甚至如果不是玛达拉的崛起,现在的埃鲁因的混乱程度可说远远比不上当时。Becausethat is also in the Aouinehistoryrevolts, rebellionandrebels the most frequentage, mustknow that in the Vaundeworld, you is very difficultto seeto revoltthisphrasein the historical document.
因为那也是埃鲁因历史上起义、暴动与叛乱最频繁的年代,要知道在沃恩德的世界中,在历史文献上你是很难看到起义这个字眼的。Howeverprobablythisis the so-callednational strength and destiny, MadaramustborrowAouineeventually, thereforeunder the similarenvironmentthenCorcovadynastycan the resurgence, however the reform of Your HighnessPrincess Gryphineunder a betterconditionwas actually defeated.
不过也许这就是所谓的国势与气运,玛达拉是终究要借埃鲁因而起的,因此同样的环境之下当时的科尔科瓦王朝可以中兴,然而在更好的条件之下格里菲因公主殿下的改革却是失败了。ButBrandosighedwithout enough time,firstshakes the head: „Thisconditionis extremely unspecific, wenaturallycanhere the peaceful coexistence, but once leavesUndergroundto arrive at the surface, howalsoto guarantee that youdon't escapeto disclose secret information?”
但布兰多来不及感叹,首先摇了摇头:“这个条件太过空泛,我们在这里自然可以和平共处,可一旦离开地底到达地表,又如何保证你不逃跑去通风报信呢?”Hethinks that is not unreasonable, if Troglodytehe can also makeTajivtake an oathtotheirDivine Spirit, buthumanperhapsisonegroup of people who this world'smosthas not believed that althoughoftensaidMother Marshaorally, buttheyare taking an oathtoMarshaeven if- butcould not take seriouslymostly.
他这么想并不是没有道理的,如果是穴居人他还可以让塔吉卜向他们的神灵起誓,但人类恐怕是这个世界上最没有信仰的一帮人,虽然口头上时常把玛莎大人挂在嘴边,但纵使他们对着玛莎起誓-但也多半当不得真的。Brandoarehuman, naturallyunderstandsthis pointclearly.布兰多自己就是人类,当然更清楚地了解这一点。ButCurranactuallylets go saying: „Old manis seriously injurednow, wantsto runcannot run away.”
但库兰却摊手说道:“老夫现在身受重伤,想跑也跑不掉。”
