Hehas looked backtoFeng Huo, the latterspits the tonguerarelyembarrassed.布兰多来到羊首教徒首领身边,看了看那家伙的状态,一愣之后不由得苦笑起来。羊首教徒首领下巴已经凰火被那一拳完全砸碎了,满口是血,像条死鱼一样躺在泥水中,这叫他怎么审问?他回过头看向凰火,后者罕见地不好意思地吐了吐舌头。„Givesme, Ihave the meansto callhimto open the mouth.”Whatopens the mouthisFang Qi, hedoes not know when walked, in the handis also carrying a Shepherd Cultistscorpse, disdainsinprobablydoingexhaustedclothesmatter. Hethrows the corpse on hand, losesto the nearbydrymound of earthon, says.
“交给我吧,我有办法叫他开口。”开口的是房奇,他不知道什么时候走了回来,手上还拎着一具羊首教徒的尸体,大概是不屑于干剥衣服这种事情。他将手上的尸体一丢,丢到附近干燥的土丘上,开口说道。„You?”Brandolooks atthisfellowsurprisedly, the bigexpression on faceapproximatelycannot thinkthisfellow can also applyunexpectedly, the triptakesthisfellowpurelyisbecauseenters the stagnationpossibly to usehisblood.
“你?”布兰多惊讶地看着这家伙,脸上的大表情大约是想不到这家伙竟然也能派上用场,此行带上这家伙纯粹是因为进入停滞之界可能要用上他的血而已。„Snort, Ido not wantto put ontheseto send out the odordamngown, do not arrive atMarTaha, Idid not enter a cityto be good, Iinopen countryyou.”
“哼,我不想穿那些散发着恶臭的该死的袍子,你们不是要到马尔塔哈吗,我不进城就行了,我在野外等你们。”„Is thisyourcondition?” A Brandofaceis strange: „Don't youenter a city?”
“这就是你的条件?”布兰多一脸古怪:“你不进城?”„Youcould rest assured that Ipledgedwith the name of ghostcar(riage), a personwill not run awayabsolutelysecretly, let alonemyriddletoemeraldalsointerested.”
“你放心,我以鬼车之名发誓,绝对不会一个人偷偷跑掉,何况我对翡翠之谜也有兴趣。”„Good, ifyouinsisted that......”Brandorushesto breakthisfellow, raisedfrom the muddy water**unceasingShepherd CultistsBoss, losttohim: „Wewill only stopinMarTahaslightly, youonlyneededto stay for severalhoursin the open countryto be OK, when the time comesyoursouthern Zaicheng Townwe, let us not leaveare too far, I willwithsubpoenaingcrystalandyourelated.”
“好吧,如果你坚持的话……”布兰多赶忙打断这家伙的话,从泥水中提起**不断的羊首教徒首领,向他丢了过去:“我们在马尔塔哈只会稍作停留,你只需要在野外呆几个小时就可以了,到时候你在城镇南面等我们,别离开太远,我会用传讯水晶和你联系。”Fang QireceivedShepherd CultistsBoss, nodded.房奇一手接过羊首教徒首领,点了点头。Has tosaythisfellow, althoughdoes not get on well with others, butreallyhas the one's ownmethod, hesoonthengets the answer that Brandowantedfrom the pitiful yellrepetitiveShepherd CultistsBossmouth. Brandodoes not know how thisfellowmakes the chindisruptionShepherd Cultistsexpress the one's ownmeaningaccurately. Howeverlooked that a Fang Qifacealoofsto disdainin the appearance that discussed that wantsto comethatalso to be a ghostcar(riage)lineage/veinsecret, everyone will have the one's ownsecret, Brandowill not naturally demand.
不得不说这家伙虽然不合群,但确实有自己的手段,他很快便从惨叫连连的羊首教徒首领口中得到了布兰多想要的答案。布兰多也不知道这家伙是怎么让下巴碎裂的羊首教徒准确地表达出自己的意思的。不过看房奇一脸拒人于千里之外不屑于多谈的样子,想来那也应当是鬼车一脉的秘密,每个人都有自己的秘密,布兰多自然也不会强求。Butaccording toinformation that Shepherd CultistsBosstheremustcome, theseShepherd Cultistshappen togo toMarTahatosouth, this pointhas not come as a surprise toBrando's.

HemakesFang Qiinquire that againthatShepherd CultistsBosstheygo toMarTahato do, the obtainedansweris the opposite partyis the plangoes toHarlandafterMarTaha, goes tothereto participate in a priestceremony.
而根据羊首教徒首领那里得来的情报,这些羊首教徒正好是向南前往马尔塔哈的,这一点没有出乎布兰多的预料。这一带沼泽中往南也只有这么一座城镇而已。他再让房奇询问那个羊首教徒的首领他们前往马尔塔哈是干什么,得到的答案是对方是打算经过马尔塔哈前往德哈兰,去那里参与一场祭祀仪式。Harlandportis the port city on perishingmoon/monthinland sea, southMarTaha, belongs to the harbor of Madarajurisdictionin name. The master in HarlandportisHuoDubeautifulfamily, a time-honoreddarknoblefamily, thisfamilythroughnamed‚greyscepter’ the organizationis dominatingHarland'sharbor, Merchant Union and every large or smallguildfirmly, according toinformation that QueenMadaraprovides, in the high level of thisorganizationalmost is comprised ofsecret societyShepherd Cultists. ButHuoDubeautifulfamily'sgeneration of heads of household, similarly are also the followers of Shepherd Cultistsin secretdevelopment.
德哈兰港是亡月内海上的港口城市,在马尔塔哈南方,名义上是归属玛达拉管辖的港口。德哈兰港的主人是霍杜丽家族,一个历史悠久的黑暗贵族家族,这个家族通过一个名为‘灰权杖’的组织牢牢地把持着德哈兰的港口、商会与大大小小的行会,根据玛达拉女王提供的情报,这个组织的高层中几乎全是由秘密结社的羊首教徒组成。而霍杜丽家族的这一代家主,同样也是羊首教徒暗中发展的信徒。Brandoinsaw for the first time when thisinformationin the heartalsocannot help butsighed, seeming likeMadara, althoughisOrigin Associationabandons, but the homeis notpure lands, the similarlyevilbeliefruns amuck, firsthasTree Shepherds, latterhasShepherd Cultists, each familyhave the problem.布兰多在第一次看到这份情报时心中也不由得感叹,看起来玛达拉虽然为万物归一会所摒弃,但国内也不是一片净土,同样邪恶的信仰横行,先有牧树人,后有羊首教徒,家家有本难念的经。However the priestceremony in Shepherd CultistsBossmouthcausedhisattention. VaundeDemonic Cultistwill conduct someevilceremoniesevery other day, for exampleoffers a sacrifice toor the blood sacrificeor the summondevilexactlywait/etc.; The object who naturallyoffers a sacrifice toexactlywith the blood sacrificenotnecessarilyeach timeishumanorotherintelligentlife. Cattleand otherdomestic animalsalsosame, butoftenuses the intelligentlifeas the object who offers a sacrifice toexactly, thatcertainlyis a specificationextremelyhighpriestceremony.
不过羊首教徒首领口中的祭祀仪式引起了他的注意力。沃恩德的邪教徒三天两头会进行一些邪恶的仪式,比如活祭或者血祭或者召唤恶魔等等;当然活祭与血祭的对象不一定每次都是人类或者别的智慧生灵。牛羊等家畜也一样可以,但往往用上智慧生灵作为活祭的对象,那就一定是一场规格极高的祭祀仪式。Theceremony in Shepherd CultistsBossmouth was a ceremony of highspecification, Shepherd Cultiststhencontacted the channelto disseminate the newsthroughthemexactlyearlyhalf a month agoin secret, makingShepherd Cultists of TaukchiareagathertoHarland, participateslivesacrificial offering of thisestimatelaterthreedays.
恰恰羊首教徒首领口中的这场仪式便是一场高规格的仪式,羊首教徒早在半个月之前便通过他们私底下的联络渠道将消息散播了出去,让陶克奇地区的羊首教徒向德哈兰聚集,去参加这场预计在三天之后进行的活祭仪式。Brandoinquired the livesacrificial offering-typesettlement. The answer of butgettingis few, seems likethisShepherd CultistsBossis an interimconvener, onlyknowsgeneraltimeandscale that livesacrificial offeringholds, as forotherthendoes not know at all.布兰多询问了活祭仪式的相关内容。但得到的答案很少,看起来这个羊首教徒的首领不过是个临时的召集人而已,只知道活祭仪式举行的大概时间与规模,至于其他的便一问三不知。Regardingthisperson, Brandodoes not have the pity. Afteraskingallinformation, thenmakesFang Qibegin‚processing’to fall the opposite party, is goodto deliverhimto confesstoMarshain front. HoweverwhenFang Qidraws out the swordplansto begin, thatpersonas ifdetected the one's ownsituation, struggledfrightenedis neighingwas sayinganotherinformation, the intentiontraded a dog's life, what a pityFang Qiwas aloof, the directsworddeliveredhimto start off.
对于这种人,布兰多没有怜悯心。在问出了所有的信息之后,便让房奇动手‘处理’掉对方,好送他到玛莎面前去忏悔。不过在房奇拔出剑打算动手的时候,那人仿佛察觉了自己的处境,恐惧地挣扎着嘶叫着说出了另一个情报,意图换自己一条狗命,可惜房奇对此无动于衷,直接一剑送他上了路。
The latterreturns tosideBrando, shoutedfinallyShepherd CultistsBossthatwords that rephrased in own words, the meaningisthatShepherd CultistsBossinwayin private, the hearsayhearsthatlivesacrificial offeringto be relatedwithopening of Atukehallowed ground.
后者回到布兰多身边,才将羊首教徒首领最后喊出的那番话转述了出来,意思是那个羊首教徒首领在私下的途径里,道听途说听人说起那场活祭仪式是与阿图克圣地的开启有关。„WhereAtuke is hallowed ground?”Brandoasked.
“阿图克圣地是什么地方?”布兰多问道。Presentsno one to answerthisissue. BrandoregardingFang Qi‚murdersdecisively’is a little speechless, butis notinthisissuewellcritically, Atukehallowed groundobviouslyissomeplace that only thenShepherd Cultistsknows, thislocalotherthingare not many, theserevoltingfellowswere many, waited tillMarTaha, somewere the opportunityinquiryinformation.
在场无人能够回答这个问题。布兰多对于房奇的‘杀伐果断’有点无语,不过好在这个问题算不上紧要,阿图克圣地显然是只有羊首教徒才知晓的某个地方,这个地区别的东西不多,这些令人作呕的家伙却不少,等到了马尔塔哈,有的是机会打探情报。Therefore after helooked atFang Qioneill-humoredly, told that others exchangeShepherd Cultistsrobe, besidesMr. Liu, threewomensends outodorrobeto express that tothesenon-in varying degreeswelcome——prime minister's daughterfirst a facedetestedputs onrobe, thentakeshood, is rapidtakes down, sheimmediatelydeeplybreathed in, complexionas ifwhiteseveralpoints.
因此他没好气看了房奇一眼之后,就吩咐其他人换上羊首教徒的长袍,除了柳先生之外,三位女士都对这些散发着恶臭的长袍表示出了不同程度的不欢迎之情——宰相千金最先一脸嫌恶地穿上长袍,然后带上兜帽,然后迅速又取下来,她立刻深深地吸了一口气,脸色仿佛都白了几分。ThenisMagdelle, Nun-Princesstakesthatrobehelplessly, a facelookdecidedly, as ifthatis notrobe, butis a section of rope on gallows, so long aswill put onto makehersuffocateto perishimmediately.
然后是玛格达尔,修女公主手足无措地拿着那件长袍,一脸决然的神色,仿佛那不是一件长袍而是绞刑架上的一截绳索,只要穿上去立刻就会让她窒息而亡似的。Brandolooked that thisHer Highness the Princessclenched teethto clench teeth, as ifnextdecided the hugedetermination, put onthatrobe, then the whole personshooktwo.布兰多看这位公主殿下咬牙了又咬牙,仿佛下定了天大的决心,才穿上那件长袍,然后整个人都晃了两下。Only thenFeng Huodisplaysquitecalmlyindifferent, thisLittle Princessalsoputs out the scissors and needleworkfrom the one's owntravel bagunexpectedly, cut outthatrobe, changedslightly 1st, tosuit the one's ownbuild. Brandofor a momentlooksunexpectedlya littledumbfoundedly, Mr. Liuansweredtohimin the one side, originallyLittle Princessquitequick-witted and nimble-fingered of thisJadewindlineage/vein, herone's ownclothingmajoritywasdesignscutting out, knew that thisnewscannot help butmadeBrandoprobablysumptuous lifestylesmallHer Highness the Princesshold in high esteemtothisoriginally.
只有凰火表现得相当镇定淡然,这位小公主竟然还从自己的行囊中拿出剪刀和针线,将那件长袍裁剪了一番,改小了一号,以适合自己的体形。布兰多一时间竟看得有点目瞪口呆,柳先生在一旁向他解释道,原来这位玉凤一脉的小公主相当心灵手巧,她自己的衣物大部分都是自己设计裁剪的,得知这个消息不由得令布兰多对这位原本应当锦衣玉食的小公主殿下刮目相看。Howeverhehas not sighedwith enough time,saw the expression that a Feng Huofaceshuts outsprinkledspiceslayer by layertowardthatrobe, thenalsohoodwinks the one's ownfacewith a silk handkerchief, puts onthatrobe. Is goodbecause ofShepherd Cultistsmostlyis the generation of revealing only part of the truth, obstructsto conform totheircharacteristics the faceactually.
不过他还没来得及感叹完毕,就看到凰火一脸嫌弃的表情往那件长袍中洒了一层又一层香料,然后还用一条丝巾将自己的脸蒙起来,才穿上那件长袍。好在羊首教徒大多都是藏头露尾之辈,把脸遮起来倒是更符合他们的特征。In fact the Feng Huoactionsoonthenobtainedimitations of twowomen, Little Princess seems preparedearly, moreoverputs outtwosilk handkerchiefs and spices, letsMagdelle and Delphinegratitude.
事实上凰火的举动很快便得到了两位女士的效仿,小公主仿佛早有准备,另外拿出两条丝巾与香料,让玛格达尔与德尔菲恩感激不已。Seesthis, Brandocannot help buta littlehas doubts, not being able to bearraise the sleeveto smell——to think that was so smelly? Finallythismovementletsinhisstomachimmediatelyoverwhelming, the bonus is close to the Sage DomainPerfect Bodylevel, almostvomits.
看到这一幕,布兰多不由得有点疑惑,忍不住提起袖子嗅了嗅——心想真有那么臭吗?结果这个动作立刻让他胃里一阵翻江倒海,饶是接近圣贤领域完美躯体的层次,也差点生生呕吐出来。„Martha above, thesedamnfellowactuallyhow longhaven't taken a bath?”
“玛莎在上,这些该死的家伙究竟多久没洗过澡了?”Gives forewarningto killas forFang Qiwill not put ontheserobe, after Brandoandheagrees the goodconvergence the place, onegroup of troopsthenfan out in two groups, advancestoMarTahadirectly.
至于房奇早已有言在先打死也不会穿上这些长袍,布兰多和他约定好汇合的地点之后,一行人马便兵分两路,直接向马尔塔哈开进。
The transmissionpointis away fromMarTaha is not obviously far, shortly in the wetlandswampthenpresented the trace of human activities, theyalsoran uponseveralbatchall the waysimilarlytoShepherd Cultists that MarTahadirectiongoes forward. Is goodis quite eccentricbecause ofShepherd Cultists, amongdifferentcommunitiesalsono happening together, althoughboth sideshave a samedestination, butwheneach othermeetsmostlylooked that mutuallythenguardsis separatingagain, mostalsosays a hello, inquired where the opposite party came from.
传送点距离马尔塔哈显然并不远,没多久湿地沼泽中便出现了人类活动的痕迹,他们一路上还撞上了几批同样向马尔塔哈方向前进的羊首教徒。好在羊首教徒比较孤僻,不同的群体之间也没有什么交集,虽然双方都有一个同样的目的地,但在彼此相遇的时候大多都只是互相看一眼便防备着再度分开,最多不过也就只是打一个招呼,询问一下对方来自什么地方而已。ButBrandohad ascertained the relatednewsfromthatShepherd CultistsBossthere, thereforealsocompiled a status, somepeoplewill not questionin any casecarefully, Shepherd Cultistswas the devil and chaosbeliever, the conductis disorderly, wantsto comenot to have the toobigfunnel.
而布兰多早就从那个羊首教徒首领那里问清楚了相关的消息,因此也编造好了一个身份,反正也不会有人仔细盘查,羊首教徒是恶魔与混沌的教徒,行事本身就颠三倒四,想来不会出太大的漏子。Quick, in the mistthenpresentedcities the cities in shadow——swamp is not obviously big, MarTahauttered fine words that wascities, butwasgoes toone on Harlandroadto restin fact the temporaryfoothold of supplementfor the traveler, evensomeoftenresident, butwill not be many. ThereforeMarTaha'sscalealsocomparesvillageat the worstmany, whatin the town/subduesare more than generalvillagesmall townis the every large or smallseveralinns, forpassingpedestrian.
很快,薄雾中便出现了一座城镇的影子——沼泽中的城镇显然不会太大,马尔塔哈说得好听是一个城镇,但事实上不过是前往德哈兰路上的一个供旅人休憩补充的临时落脚点而已,就算是有些常住民,但也不会太多。因此马尔塔哈的规模也就比一座村落大不了多少,镇上比一般的村落小镇多的是大大小小几座旅店,也是为了方便过往的行人。Naturallyinthisarea, noearnestpedestrianpassenger, mainlyforShepherd Cultists‚pilgrimage’.
当然在这个地区,没有什么正儿八经的行人旅客,主要就是为了方便羊首教徒‘朝圣’而已。Brandohas inquiredbefore thenclearly, HarlandportceramicChickareaShepherd Cultistssupreme headquarters, butHuoDubeautifulfamily'sgeneration of guardians, concurthisarea‚bigChief Shepherd’ a duty.
