“没有战争该多好啊。”哈鲁泽忍不住轻声说道,他银色的眸子里静静地倒映着从天际垂下的金光,小王子虽然不知道那是什么,但他本能地感到这一切可能和自己的老师有关:“莱丝梅卡小姐,黑月碎了,这征兆着什么么?”Ms.Medusais actually thinkingprobably the one's ownconcern, has not respondedfor a whileunexpectedly.美杜莎女士却好像在想着自己的心事,一时竟没反应过来。Shelooks atthiswilderness, the jet blackland seems symbolizingdesolate, beside the hilltakes a broad viewto lookonly to see the paddies that oneleaves uncultivatedpiece by piece, a windmillstands erectaloneon the mountain top of distant place, complemented the soaring to the heavensflame of Bear Lakearea, leafShan of windmillis being rottenup, was only left over a bareframe, is not knownwas who openedhalf.
她看着这片荒野,漆黑的大地仿佛象征着了无人烟,丘陵之外放眼望去只能看到一片片荒废的田地,一座风车孤零零地矗立在远处的山头上,映衬着熊湖地区的冲天火光,风车的叶扇早已烂光了,只剩下一个光秃秃的框架,也被不知道是什么人拆了一半。
It is difficult to believe that hereoncewas one of the empiremostagriculturemost prosperousregions, itis supportingMantle Bay and Anzelutafood consumption, butnowregionalpathcontactshave cut off, the business and trade activitieshave stagnatedduring.
很难相信这里曾经是帝国最农业最兴盛的区域之一,它支撑着斗篷海湾和安泽鲁塔一带的粮食消耗,而如今各地的道路往来业已断绝,商业与贸易活动早已陷入停顿之中。Has not known that what kind offaminethis year the empirewill have.
还不知道今年帝国会发生怎么样的饥荒。Lasmequecannot help butthinksone's ownhometown, looks likeinSubterranean races, therebeautifulnot inferior in the slightesthere, butitis now nothing left.莱丝梅卡不由得想到了自己的故乡,在地底之民看来,那里的美丽丝毫不逊色于这里,但它现在已经荡然无存了。„MissLasmeque?”
“莱丝梅卡小姐?”„Un?”
“嗯?”„Youhow?”Halutzsomewhatvisitsherpuzzled, hehas not seenMs.Medusa such scared witlessappearance.
“你怎么了?”哈鲁泽有些不解地看着她,他还从没见过美杜莎女士这么魂不守舍的样子。„Sorry,”Lasmequefaints from fearsuddenly, shepressedon the scaleaccording toforehead saying: „Iwas distracted.”
“抱歉,”莱丝梅卡恍然惊觉,她按了按额头上的鳞片道:“我走神了。”„What are youthinking?”Halutzasked.
“你在想什么?”哈鲁泽问道。„Iam thinkingtheseDark Elfthings.”
“我在想那些黑暗精灵的事情。”Lasmequelies.莱丝梅卡撒了个谎。Butcannotsay is completely the lie, approximatelysinceautumnmiddle ten daystime, a Dark Elfclanarrives at the surface, was building the one's ownterritorywith the Medusaterritorygreat distanceveryfarplace. Theygave the Undergroundresidents in groundworldto bring the news——devil of undergroundworldto cross the point of ashes, startedto launch the attackto the region above bighoney-comb.
但也不能完全说是谎言,大约进入秋天的中旬的时候,一只黑暗精灵氏族来到地表,在与美杜莎的领地相隔很远的地方建立了自己的领地。她们给地面世界的地底居民们带来了久违的地下世界的消息——恶魔已经越过了灰烬之尖,开始向大蜂巢之上的区域展开进攻。Although the Valhallafleetnavigatesin the space, butwithout conducting transmissionjump. In factevery daywill send peoplein the groundto collectnearbyinformation;first, toconfirmpossibleenemy intelligence;second, tosupplementfoodandpotable water.瓦尔哈拉的舰队虽然在天上航行,但在不进行传送跃迁的时候。事实上每天还是会派人到地面上收集附近的情报,一是为了确认可能出现的敌情,二是为了补充食物与饮水。NaturallyincurrentAnzlovasuchbarren land. Former'sfactorare mostly more.
当然在当下的安兹洛瓦这样的不毛之地。多半还是前者的因素更多一些。InDark Elf the newsaboutLasmequemouth, the fleethas inquiredseveraldays ago. Others onlytreat as the spare time the subject, but the significanceregardingLasmequeis profound.
关于莱丝梅卡口中的黑暗精灵的消息,舰队早在几天之前就已经打听到了。其他人只当做茶余饭后的谈资,但对于莱丝梅卡来说却意义深远。„Youmissed homeland, Lasmeque?”Halutzaskedlow voice.
“你想家了吗,莱丝梅卡?”哈鲁泽小声问道。„Ido not have the family/home, Prince.”
“我没有家,王子殿下。”Halutzsomewhatvisitshercuriously.哈鲁泽有些好奇地看着她。Lasmequesighed, explained: „Ioncewas the slave of devil, the person who was treated as the slavedid not have the family/home, wewere pursuedfrom the one's ownhomeland, lost the originallyproperthing.”莱丝梅卡叹了口气,解释道:“我曾经是恶魔的奴隶,被当做奴隶的人是没有家的,我们被从自己的家园中驱逐,失去了自己原本应有的东西。”Halutzhearssomewhatsadly. Saidhastily: „MissLasmeque, youcouldmake the teacherhelpyou, hehad defeatedthesedevils, certainlywill have the means.”哈鲁泽听得有些难过。连忙说道:“莱丝梅卡小姐,你或许可以让老师帮帮你,他曾经打败过那些恶魔,一定会有办法的。”Halutzdisplaysto the Brandoconfidentappearance, in his opinionBrandoindeedis probably omnipotent, hehas not at least disappointedthisstudent.哈鲁泽表现得对布兰多信心十足的样子,在他看来布兰多大概的确就是无所不能的,至少他从来没有让这位学生失望过。Lasmequelooked atthisLittle Princeone, shakes the head. Sheindeedhadsuchidea, butbeforetoday, Black Moonfallsto perishto meanTwilight'sto arrive, sheunderstands that the change of devilsis possibly originatingfromthis. If Judgment Day of the whole world, thatyoungsterandBuganianare unable to changeall these.莱丝梅卡看了这位小王子一眼,摇了摇头。她本来的确有这样的想法,但直到今天之前,黑月坠亡意味着黄昏的降临,她明白恶魔们的异动可能正来源于此。那如果是整个世界的末日,那个年轻人和布加人也无法改变这一切。Shethinks ofhere, could not bearsubconsciouslypress a fallingdecoration of chestnecklace.
她想到这里,忍不住下意识地按了一下自己胸口项链的坠饰。Butat this time. Thisnecklacevibratedslightly.
但正是这个时候。这条项链微微震动了一下。Lasmequeterrifiedandis startled.莱丝梅卡悚然而惊。Herraises head, the verticalpupil of lozengeis looking keenly at not far awaypitch-darkwoods, drinksonelowly: „Who there!”
她抬起头,棱形的竖瞳紧盯着不远处黑漆漆的树林,低喝一声:“谁在那里!”In the foresttransmitssomewhatsurprisedlowto shout.
森林中传来一声有些惊讶的低呼。„Is Lasmeque, you?”
“莱丝梅卡,是你吗?”Halutzis not knowing that hadanything, hecannot bearaboutlooks all aroundbehind——Knights in groveto notice after heresound, is drawing a swordby, thenhenoticed that ownMissMedusa the petrifiedtechniqueequallywas probably stiff there.哈鲁泽正不知道发生了什么,他忍不住左右环顾——后面林子里的骑士们留意到这边的动静之后,正拔剑靠了过来,然后他看到自己身边的美杜莎小姐好像中了石化术一样僵在了那里。„?”Lasmequeexploringlyaskedone.
“卡雅?”莱丝梅卡试探性地问了一句。In the foresthearsoneto cheer.
森林中传来一声欢呼。Then a hand-heldlong bow, throws over the young girl of longcapeto jump downfromtheretree, herhoodfoldsafter the neck. Revealsattractivewhitelong hairin the moonlight and sharpear——thisoneobviouslyiself, butherbuildis more diminutive than generalWind ElfandSilver Elf. Moreover the skinis dark, bystiffbridge of the noseinsomeslightlyinfallingeye sockets. Isonepairlike the rubygenerallysparklingeye, makingpersonsubconsciouslythink ofvampire in certainlegends.
接着一个手持长弓,披着长长斗篷的少女就从那里的树上跳了下来,她的兜帽折叠在颈后。露出一头在月光中漂亮的白色长发与尖尖的耳朵——这显然正是一只精灵,但她的体形要比一般的风精灵与银精灵矮小许多。而且皮肤黝黑,挺直的鼻梁两侧略有些内陷眼窝中。是一双如同红宝石一般闪闪发光的眼睛,令人下意识地想到某些传说之中的吸血鬼。Butwithout a doubt, the opposite partyis notundead, butisdistant relative of elvesinundergroundworld, Dark Elf.
但毫无疑问,对方并不是亡灵,而是精灵们在地下世界的远亲,黑暗精灵。Halutzhas not thought that LasmequejustmentionedtheseDark Elfwithhim, the opposite partyreallyappeared, moreoverseems like, thisDark Elfyoung girlalsoknowshisMs.Medusa.哈鲁泽也没想到莱丝梅卡才刚刚和他提到这些黑暗精灵,对方就真的出现了,而且看起来,这个黑暗精灵少女还认识他身边的美杜莎女士。Dark Elfyoung girlis seeing clearly the Lasmequeflash, cannot bearexude an excitingcry, shediscards the long bow, onethrewunexpectedly, closelyhuggedwithLasmequeinone.黑暗精灵少女卡雅在看清莱丝梅卡的一瞬间,忍不住发出一声兴奋不已的叫声,她丢掉长弓,竟一下扑了过来,和莱丝梅卡紧紧地抱在了一起。
Behind Ms.MedusahurriesKnights that blocksto depend on, thenheld in the armsthislittle girl, sheappearssomewhatis also excited, firstholds the cheek of opposite partyto lookcarefully, thenkissedforehead——Halutz of opposite partyaccording to the Medusaformalityandsheis togetherwas very long, knows that thisformalitywill beMedusawill useto the most intimateperson.美杜莎女士赶忙拦住后面靠上来的骑士们,然后才搂住了这个小姑娘,她显得也有些激动,先捧着对方的脸蛋仔细瞧了瞧,然后才按美杜莎们的礼节吻了对方的额头——哈鲁泽和她相处了很久,也知道这个礼节是美杜莎们对自己最为亲近的人才会使用的。Hesomewhatlooked atthisDark Elfyoung girloneeyescuriously, inBrandoteacheshimaboutGorgon Ravinesomeknowledgein the middle, Dark Elfrenounces society and lives alone, the otherresidents under societyandUnderground of thismatriarchalclanmayhave no relations.
他不禁有些好奇地看了这个黑暗精灵少女一眼,在布兰多教他的关于乔根底冈的一些知识当中,黑暗精灵遗世独立,这个母系氏族的社会与地底下的其他居民可没什么关系。Lasmequeandunderland the languagechirpsaidgood long while, heldlatter'shandto arrive in front ofHalutz, tohisintroduced: „Prince, thisis, Iandshein the slavecamp of devilsknew that shehas rescuedmyseveraltimes.”莱丝梅卡和卡雅用地下语言叽叽喳喳地说了好半天,才拉着后者的手来到哈鲁泽面前,向他介绍道:“王子殿下,这是卡雅,我和她在恶魔们的奴隶营中认识的,她救过我好几次。”„Elder SisterLasmequehas also rescuedmyseveraltimes.”Opened the mouth, the clear pronunciation and mellow voice, thisDark Elfyoung girlalsounderstands the language of groundunexpectedly. Moreover the intonation is very standard: „The prince of human, hello/you good. outstandingKashais shelteringyou.”
“莱丝梅卡姐姐也救过我好几次。”卡雅开口了,字正腔圆,这个黑暗精灵少女竟然也懂得地面的语言。而且语调还很标准:“人类的王子殿下,你好。卓卡莎庇护着你。”Halutzknows,outstandingKashais the spidergoddess, butactually is also Marsha, Death Moon Goddess that sheandUndeadsbelieves is similar, is actually onlysomeside of order.哈鲁泽知道,卓卡莎是蜘蛛女神,但其实也是玛莎,她与亡灵们信奉的亡月女神差不多,其实只是秩序的某一面。„Hello, Miss.”Hisnodded, will then look around Ms.Medusapolitely, obviouslyhas not made clearat presentiswhatcondition.
“你好,卡雅小姐。”他礼貌地点了点头,然后将目光投向一旁的美杜莎女士,显然还没搞清楚眼下是什么状况。„Broughtabout the undergroundnews.”Lasmequeunderstands that the Little Princelookiswhatmeaning, explainedhastily: „Previouslyyoudid not ask that Black Moonfallsto perishto representanything, Prince, thatis representingTwilight'swake up.”
“卡雅带来了关于地下的消息。”莱丝梅卡明白小王子的眼神是什么意思,连忙解释道:“先前你不是问黑月坠亡代表着什么吗,王子殿下,那代表着黄昏的苏醒。”“Ah!”Halutzhas a scare.“啊!”哈鲁泽吓了一跳。„Firstdo not worry, Prince,”Ms.Medusabeckons with the hand, hints the opposite partydo not break themselves: „ButDragon of Twilightlost the contactwiththisworldprobably, the devilsthereforeproduced the civil strife, all these happen twomonths ago, theywerethat timeescape.”
“你先不要着急,王子殿下,”美杜莎女士摆了摆手,示意对方不要打断自己:“但黄昏之龙好像与这个世界失去了联系,恶魔们因此而产生了内乱,这一切就发生在两个月之前,卡雅她们正是那个时候逃出来的。”„Twomonths ago.”Halutzremembersanything: „That the first time is not we time of meetingDragon Queen?”
“两个月前。”哈鲁泽想起什么:“那不是我们第一次遇到龙后的时候么?”„Almostat that time, devilsseveraldays ago is still going on a punitive expedition againstmutually, thisexplained that Dragon of Twilighthas certainly problems.”Lasmequesomewhatsaidexcitedly: „Black Moonfallsto perish, butDragon of Twilighthas not appeared, perhapsthathearsayreal.”
“差不多正是那个时候,恶魔们直到几天前都还在互相征伐,这说明黄昏之龙一定出了什么问题。”莱丝梅卡有些兴奋地说道:“黑月坠亡而黄昏之龙却没有出现,说不定那个传闻是真的。”„...... Whathearsay?”
“……什么传闻?”„WasazureKnightdefeateditthoroughly, ifafterMonster Wavefinishedithas not appeared, the devilswill return the sea of chaos, perhapswehad the opportunityto return the point of ashes.”Ms.Medusavoicehighseveralpoints, herdoublefistgrips tightly, ineyesparkling, Halutzhas also never seen this appearance.
“就是天青的骑士彻底击败了它,如果在魔潮结束之后它还没有出现,恶魔们就会退回混沌之海,说不定我们有机会重新回到灰烬之尖。”美杜莎女士的声音都不禁高了几分,她双拳紧握,眼中闪闪发光,哈鲁泽还从未见过她这个样子。„Miss,”hethenasked: „WhatLasmequesaidisreal. Has Dragon of Twilightdied?”
“卡雅小姐,”他回头问道:“莱丝梅卡说的是真的吗。黄昏之龙已经死了?”Shakes the headat a loss: „Ido not know, but the devilsindeedhave started the civil strife. Theybefore the bighoney-combstands still, inGorgon Ravinekills a piece of bloodshed. Weescapetakingthisopportunity.”
卡雅茫然地摇了摇头:“我不知道,但恶魔们的确已经开始内乱了。它们在大蜂巢之前驻足不前,在乔根底冈杀成了一片血海。我们正是借着这个机会逃出来的。”Shethinks, said: „Your highness, at presentIandmyclansmenam having no place to go, heard that the empirepossiblyregainsthisplacemomentarily, Ilistened toElder SisterLasmequeto sayyouandyour older sister'smatter, Iwantto pleadyou to give shelter tousto temporarily reside, wecan certainlyadd onyourbusy——”
她想了想,又说道:“殿下,眼下我和我的族人们正无处可去,听说帝国随时可能收复此地,我听莱丝梅卡姐姐说过你和你姐姐的事情,我想恳求你能收留我们暂住,我们一定可以帮上你的忙的——”„?”Halutzgawkedstaring, heknows that escapesinDark Elftogroundcertainlyis not12individuals, sincecancall it the clan, thataffirmationpopulationat leasthasseveral hundred. AlthoughDark Elfis the matriarchal clan society, butis brave, theynot only need underothernationalitieswithUndergroundcontest the domain, andbattleswith the devilyear to year, individualbattle efficiencyin factby farinthemrelativeinsurface.
“啊?”哈鲁泽愣了愣,他知道逃到地面上的黑暗精灵一定不是一两个人,既然能被称之为氏族,那肯定人数至少有好几百。黑暗精灵虽然是母系氏族社会,但骁勇善战,她们既要与地底下的其他民族争夺地盘,又常年与恶魔交战,个体战斗力事实上远胜于她们在地表上的亲戚。Thesepeople are not only a goodstrength, butalsopossiblyis a trouble, hisunderstandingthisnationality is only restricted inBrandoto tellhistheseknowledge, actuallycharacter of being in doubtopposite partyactuallyhow.
这些人既是一股不俗的实力,但也可能是个麻烦,他对这个民族的了解仅限于布兰多告诉他的那些知识,却拿不准对方的性格究竟如何。IftheseDark Elfbothcombativeandgreedy, moreoveris ambitious, did hegive the elder sisterto bring a trouble?
如果这些黑暗精灵既好斗又贪婪,而且还富有野心,那他岂不是给姐姐带回去了一个麻烦?ThisLittle Princefor a momentsomewhatis worried, thought that ifteacherheregood, hecan certainlyeasilymake the decision.
这位小王子一时间不禁有些苦恼,心想如果老师在这里就好,他一定能够轻易作出决定的。„Prince,”Lasmequesaidsuddenly: „Promisesher, Dark Elflongwill not remainin the surface, when the devilretreats, wewill return to the point of ashes. Butbefore that we can actually helpyouandyour older sisterare busy.”
“王子殿下,”莱丝梅卡忽然说道:“答应她,黑暗精灵不会在地表长留的,等到恶魔退去,我们就会回到灰烬之尖。但在那之前,我们却能帮你和你姐姐许多忙。”Halutzrubbed the foreheaddistressfully, thismovementlooked likehiselder sisteractually, perhapsifBrandohere, wrongthinksoneselfsawinitiallyin that in the dreamlandsaw‚Little Princess’.哈鲁泽愁眉苦脸地揉了揉眉心,这个动作倒是像极了他的姐姐,若是布兰多在这里,说不定又会错以为自己看到了当初在梦境中看到的那位‘小公主’。„Miss,”heponderedalone, imaginedonehow, ifBrandowill deal withthisissuehere, thenopens the mouth saying: „Youcansay the Dragon of Twilightmatteragain, actuallyaccidentsentiment of?”
“卡雅小姐,”他独自思考了一下,想象了一下如果布兰多在这里会怎么处理这个问题,然后才开口道:“你能再说说黄昏之龙的事情么,究竟出了什么事情?”Halutzdecided that confirmed after the devilwill returnin the chaos, decidedhowagainthisissueshouldreply.哈鲁泽决定确认恶魔会退回混沌之中后,再来决定这个问题该如何回答。Heardthisissueto starestaring, does not wantto be clear aboutrelation between these twoprobably, butsherespondedquickly, almostreplied anything subconsciously.
卡雅听到这个问题愣了愣,大概是没想清楚这两者之间的联系,不过她反应很快,几乎是下意识回答了一句什么。Butthiswordsfastare too quick, moreoverdoes not seem like the language in ground, causingHalutzsimplynot to understand what is heard.
但这句话语速太快,而且不像是地面上的语言,导致哈鲁泽根本没听明白。HoweverYour HighnessLittle Princehas not understood what is heard, Lasmequeactuallyunderstood what is heard, hercomplexionslightlychanges, subconsciouslysaid: „Is impossible!”
然而小王子殿下没听明白,莱丝梅卡却听明白了,她脸色微微一变,下意识地说道:“不可能!”Never expected thatthis timehas not actually obeyedher, thisDark Elfyoung girlshakes the headfirmly, said anything, becausesheis talkingwithLasmeque, thereforeopened the mouthisa series ofundergroundlanguages.
没想到这一次卡雅却没有顺从她,这位黑暗精灵少女坚定地摇了摇头,又开口说了一句什么,因为她是在与莱丝梅卡对话,因此开口就是一连串地下语。Lasmequehearsthese words, on the faceshows the shockinglookunexpectedly, hersubconsciousnessputs the chest the hand, felt the necklace on ownneckshakesagainslightly.莱丝梅卡听到这句话,脸上竟露出震惊的神色来,她下意识将手放到胸口,就感到自己脖子上的项链再一次微微一震。Thenitsuddenlystartsto shine, and snow whitebreastditchesrosefromthisMs.Medusaslowly.
然后它突然开始发光,并从这位美杜莎女士雪白的乳沟之间缓缓升了起来。Visionbrilliantis staring atthishanging, thatlookas ifsawwhatsacredincomparablething.
卡雅目光灼灼地盯着这枚挂饰,那眼神仿佛看到了什么神圣无比的东西。
