„Delphine? MissDelphine!”
“德尔菲恩?德尔菲恩小姐!”
The remotesoundas ifconveysfromanotherworld, indistinct.
遥远的声音仿佛从另外一个世界传来,隐隐约约。prime minister's daughteropens the eyeslowly, thatpair of pupilprobablypurplecrystalgeneralis deepandbeautiful. Whatshefirstseesisby the tree shadeslightlydazzlingsunlight, thatis the high noon later sunlight, it the overlappingleaf bladewill dye the light yellowandlight greencolor, the vein of branches and leavesunder the sunlightclearly discernible, in the woodsis reverberating the aridandmonotonousinsectwhining noise.宰相千金缓缓睁开眼睛来,那双眸子好像紫水晶一般深沉而美丽。她首先看到的是透过树荫略显刺眼的阳光,那是正午之后的阳光,它将层层叠叠的叶片染成浅黄与嫩绿的颜色,枝叶的脉络在阳光下清晰可见,树林中回荡着枯燥而单调的虫鸣声。Shedraws out the browpressed, probablyis recallinganything, buton the facereveals the palpitationquickly the look. Delphinebreathedgentlyone breath, blinks, thensaw clearlynot far awaythattwo-courseto gaze at the one's owneye.
她蹙起眉头,像是在回忆什么,但脸上很快露出心悸的神色。德尔菲恩轻轻喘了一口气,眨了眨眼,然后才看清了不远处那双正注视着自己的眼睛。„Lord Thane.”
“领主大人。”„Are youall right?”Brandolooks that paleas ifDelphine that bails outfrom the water, noticedherto roll upsubconsciously the movement, suspectedshejustwoke upfromwhatnightmare.
“你没事吧?”布兰多看着脸色苍白仿佛从水里捞出的德尔菲恩,注意到她下意识蜷缩了一下的动作,不禁怀疑她是不是刚刚从什么噩梦之中醒来。„Canholdmeto get up, Lord Thane.”
“能扶我起来一下么,领主大人。”Brandogazed athermoment, nodded布兰多注视了她片刻,点了点头Heputs out a handto supporthershoulder, heldher, bysittingabove a rock. The Delphinewhole body was almost soakedby the sweat, is pale, a recovering from a serious illnessappearance, onlyraises head, absentmindedlyis gazing at the former.
他伸手托住她的肩头,将她扶了起来,靠坐在一块岩石之上。德尔菲恩浑身几乎都被汗水浸透,脸色苍白,一副大病初愈的样子,只仰起头来,怔怔地注视着前者。Brandonotlooked atsometo be comfortablebyher, lowers the headto avoidlatter'svision, the pleasantplaceactually is the young girlsnow whiteslenderneck, the somewhatis whitedazzlingfleshunexpectedlyslightlyseemssomewhattransparentunder the sunlight, the followingblood capillaryis also clearly discernible.布兰多被她看得有些不太自在,不由低下头去避开后者的目光,入眼之处却正好是少女雪白修长的颈项,白得有些耀眼的肌肤在阳光下竟微微显得有些透明吗,下面的毛细血管也清晰可见。„...... Attractive?”Delphineaskedsuddenlyspookily.
“……好看吗?”德尔菲恩忽然幽幽地问道。„cough cough......”
“咳咳……”„Iam not clear.”
“我还是不明白。”„Whatisn't clear?”Brandostares.
“什么不明白?”布兰多一愣。„Does not understandyouridea.”
“不明白您的想法。”„I?”
“我?”„Lord Thane, doesn't could it be thathavea wee bitheart movements?”Delphineis gazing at the Brando'seye, the lookis somewhat blurred: „Ihave beenyourlover, not?”
“领主大人,难道就没有一丁点儿心动么?”德尔菲恩注视着布兰多的眼睛,眼神有些迷离:“我早已经是您的情妇了,不是么?”Shelifts the hand, stopped the Brando'sspeech: „Iunderstand,Lord Thaneis afraidme. Isbecausethisis the viperfeelingswoman, right?”
她抬起手来,制止了布兰多的发言:“我明白,领主大人这么害怕我。是因为这是个蛇蝎心肠的女人,对吗?”Brandofrowned, helistens toonesharedepressedintentfrom the Delphinetonefaintly. Heusuallyinalsovery fewseesthisprime minister's daughterthisappearance.布兰多皱了皱眉头,他从德尔菲恩的语气中隐隐听出一股子消沉之意。他平日里还很少见到这位宰相千金这个样子。„No, MissDelphine——”
“不,德尔菲恩小姐——”„Iunderstand. Thatpitied, but alsobringssomeguilty, youwantto feel sorry forme, bestowsme, becauseheldmybody, thereforewantsto be responsible forme, right?”
“我明白。那就是怜悯了,还带着一些愧疚,你想可怜我,施舍我,因为占有了我的身子,所以想对我负责,对吗?”Brandoslightlyonestiff.布兰多微微一僵。Delphineshakes the headgently, in the purplepupilis passing the heavyray: „Laughable. Actuallyifin the empire, Iwill certainly not have a liking foryousuchspiritlessfellow. Lord Thane, Elmanis firmer than andcallousten thousandtimesyou, thisisIchooseshisreason——”德尔菲恩轻轻摇了摇头,紫色的眸子里透着沉沉的光芒:“多可笑。其实若是在帝国,我一定不会看上你这么懦弱的家伙。领主大人,艾尔曼比你坚定与冷酷万倍,这正是我之所以选择他的原因——”Was describedbythiswoman, Brandosomewhatis also uncomfortable, althoughheperhapsanddoes not care abouthersomevalues and views, butheafter all is a man.
被这个女人这么形容,布兰多也不禁有些不爽,虽然他或许并不在意她的一些价值观与看法,但他毕竟还是个男人。Sees the Brando'scomplexion, in the prime minister's daughtervisionflashes throughoneto be astonished: „It seems likeIannoyedyouto be angry, Lord Thane.”
看到布兰多的脸色,宰相千金目光中闪过一丝讶异:“看来我惹您生气了,领主大人。”„Not, MissDelphine. Evensomepeopleare more callous than thousands oftimesme, thatis not worthmeenvying, in factjust the opposite.”HowBrandopossiblyacknowledgedoneselfwere previously actually eating the taste.
“并没有,德尔菲恩小姐。即使有人比我冷酷千万倍,那也丝毫不值得我羡慕,事实上恰恰相反。”布兰多怎么可能承认自己先前其实是在吃味。Delphinesighedsuddenly: „Yes. Thatindeedis not worth envying.”德尔菲恩忽然叹了口气:“是的。那的确不值得您羡慕。”Brandostares.布兰多一愣。„Becausetheirone after anotherbecomes the past, is the same likeme, the empire that pastwas insufferably arrogant, disintegratesnow, do all that Ipursued, whatonlyhavenow?”
“因为他们一个个成为了过去,就如同我一样,昔日不可一世的帝国,如今也分崩离析,我所追求的一切,如今又只剩下什么呢?”Delphineaskedspookily: „Perhapstruelaughable, shouldbe the woman who mysuchdoes not know.”德尔菲恩幽幽地自问道:“或许真正的可笑的,应该是我这样一个不自知的女人吧。”Brandoseesherfacial expressionto be low, in the hearthiddenhas a feeling, since had knownisthese daysstoryaffectedher. After all an average person——evenprime ministerfamily'seldest daughter, butheroriginalexperienceandscheme. Social class that sherepresentshowalsopossiblyto exceed?布兰多见她神情低落,心中隐有所感,知道是这些日子以来的见闻影响了她。毕竟一个普通人——即便是一位宰相家族的长女,而她原本的见识与图谋。又怎么可能超越她所代表的的阶级本身呢?Inthis moment, herealizedsuddenly. The one's ownsecondexperience, leavesoneselfmost preciousWealthperhapsnotthatwas called‚system’ the maximumjurisdiction, butwill bethatcanlethimnot, cansee throughin the future and confusedforesightby the history and presentlimitdirectly.
在这一刻,他才忽然意识到。自己的两世经历,留给自己最宝贵的财富或许并不是那个被称之为‘系统’的最高权限,而是那可以让他不受历史与现在的局限、能够直接看穿未来与迷茫的远见。
When everyone——everyone in thisworldfortheirdestiny and experiencehobbleswith the shackles, buthehas actually stoodinhistoryandabove the futureborder meeting point.每一个人——当这个世界上的每一个人都为他们自身的命运与所见所闻牵绊与桎梏时,而他却早已经站在了历史与未来的交界点之上。Because, hehad witnessedsucharrival of timewith own eyes.
因为,他曾经亲眼见证过那样一个时代的来临。Thatisthe past, the present, and the future, theydo not have the secretin his eyes.
那是过去、现在与未来,它们在他眼中并没有秘密。Thereforein the darktime, a Kingarrived, heknowsall, the worldin his eyes, does not have the secret.
因而在黑暗的时代,一位王者降临了,他所知一切,世界在他眼中,亦没有秘密。ButperhapsthisisMarshadoes not hesitateto disrupt the timeto flow, transmitstobeing electedmost importantWealth.
而或许这才是玛莎不惜扰乱时光流向,传递给获选者们最重要的财富。Brandocannot help butsubconsciouslyloosens the palm, there, inhispalm, light sphere that is sending out the spookygreen light, itis sparkling, like the dreamland, the rayflowsinhispalmgreen.布兰多不由得下意识地松开手掌,在那里,在他的掌心中,有一枚散发着幽幽绿光的光球,它闪耀着,苍翠如梦境,光芒在他手心之中流淌。Delphineisthisrayattracts, herraises headcomes, to gaze atin Brando's handlight sphere: „Is this naturalprecious pearl?”德尔菲恩为这光芒所吸引,她抬起头来,注视着布兰多手上的光球:“这就是自然宝珠?”Brandonodded.布兰多点了点头。„Does Mother Marshagiveyou?”
“玛莎大人交给你的?”Brandonodsagain, in the mindcannot help butappearedagainthat timescene:布兰多再一次颔首,脑海中不由得再一次浮现出起那时的场景:AfterMarsharepliedin a soft voiceall these, Spacepeaceful, is silentfalls the needle to hear. Brandofelt that the one's ownbrainis chaotic, is the long timecannot speakunexpectedly.
当玛莎轻声回答了这一切之后,空间安静了下来,寂静得落针可闻。布兰多感到自己的脑子乱糟糟的,竟是半晌说不出话来。God racesis an earthman, thenashim of pureearthman, as ifindeedwasallhad the reasonableexplanation.神民是地球人,那么作为纯正的地球人的他来说,似乎的确是一切都有了合理的解释。Good, he stutter saying: „Therefore...... IamthatbesidesRomaine, has the person of maximumjurisdictiononly?”
好一阵,他才结结巴巴地说道:“所以说……我就是那个除了罗曼之外,唯一拥有最高权限的人?”Marshanodsgently.玛莎轻轻颔首。Hergentle voiceopens the mouth saying:
她柔声开口道:„Thereforeyouunderstood, my child, youwill becomethisworld's onlyhopenow, untilthat day, the Vaundedestinywill depend onyourchoice——”
“所以你明白了么,我的孩子,现在你将成为这个世界唯一的希望,直到那一天,沃恩德的命运将取决于你的选择——”
The Marshasoundappearsgentleness and peaceas always, butBrandoactuallyscrewed tight the brow: „Iam not clear, Mother Marsha, Iam not clear!”玛莎的声音显得一如既往的柔和与安宁,但布兰多却拧紧了眉头:“我不明白,玛莎大人,我不明白!”„Since the azuretime, the godshas left the world, tonot createonebelongs toAge of Mortals? The amberis the mortalis in control of the destinyHoly Sword. But the life or death in the world , if were still inhand, howit can be calledisourself-help?”
“自天青的时代以来,众神离世,不是为了缔造一个属于凡人的时代么?琥珀乃是凡人主宰命运的圣剑。可世界的存亡若仍系于某一人之手,它又怎么能够称得上是我们的自救呢?”„If,”hecannot help butraised the sound: „Ifone day. Inthisworldno longer such Saviorexist, mortalswhat course to follow? Inthattime. Alsowhocomesto resistwithDragon of Twilight? Ifthisis the future that weforesee, thenitsexistencealsodoes havewhatsignificance?”
“假如,”他不由得提高了声音:“假如有一天。这个世界上不再有一个这样救世主存在,凡人们又将何去何从呢?在那个时代。又有谁来与黄昏之龙对抗呢?若这就是我们所预见的未来,那么它的存在又有何意义呢?”„All that Mother Marsha, could it be thatwemake, buttoletallreturns to the zero point?”
“玛莎大人,难道我们所作的一切,只是为了让一切回到原点?”In the Brandoheartsomewhatloses presence of mindsuddenlyat a loss, whatifthisworldneedis only a supremeKing, a Savior, thenheandThe Silver Queenchoicedoes havewhatdifference?布兰多心中忽然有些茫然失措,如果这个世界需要的只是一个至高无上的王者,一个救世主,那么他与白银女王的选择有何区别?Whatqualificationshealsohas, accusesall that The Silver Queenmakesto be wrong?
他又有什么资格,指责白银女王所作的一切是错误的?Dragon of DarknessOdinandFour Sages. Devotions of innumerableworthy people of former times, there is what significance?黑暗之龙奥丁与四位贤者。无数先贤的献身,又有何意义?No, perhapsall theseshould notbethis.
不,这一切或许不应该是这样的。Hiscannot help butraises headcomes, as to get the answeron mother face of thismyriad things.
他不由得抬起头来,似乎想要在这位万物的母亲脸上得到答案。HoweverMarshavisitshim, smiled.
然而玛莎只是看着他,微微笑了起来。„Thisis very good, my child,”shepicks upboth handssuddenly, in the palmholdsroyal crown of the border lightunexpectedly: „This is very good, perhapshas such a day, todayyouwill recallhas spoken the words.”
“这很好,我的孩子,”她忽然托起双手,手心中竟托着一顶光之王冠:“这真的很好,或许有那么一天,你会记起今天所说过的话。”„Wha......?”
“什……么?”
The Marshagentle voiceinterruptedhiswords:玛莎柔声打断了他的话:„Brando. Youmustunderstand,regardingthiswar, itjuststarted. OnlyArkentandis notanything. The crisishad not ended, Dragon of Twilighthas understood that hereis only a snare, butIneverplacehereUltimate Throne......”
“布兰多。你必须要明白,对于这场战争来说,它才不过刚刚开始。区区一个阿肯图并算不上什么。危机还远未结束,黄昏之龙已然明白这里只是一个圈套,而我从未将终焉的王座放在这里过……”„Whenhoweveritlooks atVaunde, thiswarwill arrivetruly, evenitsmain bodyalsofor the saints and sages of mortalseal, butitalsohasmillions oflackeys......”
“而当它将目光转向沃恩德,这场战争才会真正降临,即便它的本体还为凡人的圣贤们所封印,但它还有千千万万的爪牙……”„Snatchesin front ofDragon of Twilight, foundfinally the place, with the key of destiny, will opento the futurepath.”
“抢在黄昏之龙前面,找到终焉之座,用命运的钥匙,打开通往未来的道路。”„The destiny of mortalwill be in control by whom.” The Marshavisionis gentle and attachment: „Brando, itwill hand overbyyouchooses.”
“凡人的命运将由谁来主宰。”玛莎的目光既温柔而又眷恋:“布兰多,它将交由你们自己来选择。”„Marsha...... Sir?”
“玛莎……大人?”Shehas put downboth handsgently.
她已轻轻放下双手。„Brando. Perhapsmy child, has such a day. Youwill become the King.”
“布兰多。我的孩子,或许有那么一天。你将成为王者。”„Works asthatone day, I willcoronates——youto bathemountainous cryforyouin the clouds, ten thousandworld, ten thousandnumerousandinternational, allsoundswill callyouking——”
“当那一日,我会在云端为你加冕——你沐浴山呼,万世、万众与万国,一切的声音将称你为王——”„Yourthroneabovethatflameseparateddestiny, in first peak of ancientsaints and sages, you are running of thisonlyscepter, variousworldandvariousmasters, is the king of ——Vaunde.”
“你的王座在那火焰分开的命运之上,在先古圣贤的巅峰,你将是这唯一权杖的掌管者,诸世与诸界的主人,是——沃恩德之王。”„Whenarrivedon that day, Brando, pleasecomply in yoursound, at that moment, youwill understandall.”
“当那一天到来,布兰多,请遵从于你内心的声音,那一刻,你就会明白一切。”Brandoraises headcomes, lookshelplesslyMarshaputs downthatroyal crowngently, makinghimfeelroyal crownthatheavyweight.布兰多抬起头来,眼睁睁看着玛莎将那顶王冠轻轻放下,让他感受到王冠那沉甸甸的重量。„Remembersmywords, the child,”toneunprecedentedserious of Marsha: „To wear the royal crown, mustreceiveheavilyits.”
“记住我的话,孩子,”玛莎的语气前所未有的严肃:“欲戴王冠,必承其重。”Sheputs down the handgently, finallylooked athisoneeyes.
她轻轻放下手,最后看了他一眼。Then mother of thisten thousandworldandmyriad thingshas turned aroundslowly, stand forth.
然后这位万世与万物的母亲缓缓转过了身,向前走去。„Mother Marsha!”Brandotremblesslightly, in the heartunderstoodanythingprobably.
“玛莎大人!”布兰多微微一颤,心中好像明白了什么。„My child, parted forever, then, the destiny of the world withyouwill link——”
“我的孩子,永别了,接下来,世界的命运将与你们联系在一起——”Marshashows a faint smile, sheas ifwalked into a piece of whitelight, figureinrayincreasingly estranged, finallychanges into a luminous spot of dispersing.玛莎微微一笑,她仿佛走入了一片白光之中,身形在光芒之中渐行渐远,最后化为一片飞散的光点。Brandoabsentmindedlylooks atthis, butinthatray, heas ifsawmanymanypeople and matters. Theyarrive atsidehimslowly, one after anothersaid goodbyetohim.布兰多怔怔地看着这一幕,而在那光芒之中,他仿佛看到了许多许多的人与事。他们缓缓来到他身边,一个个与他道别。„Stillremembersme, Sophie, Iamcrystal, will be latter indefinite.”
“还记得我吗,苏菲,我是水晶,后会无期。”„Little fellow, understandsnow, whatis the blood of source?” The menlaugh: „Trivial can Godsblood of Darkness, whatbeto you?”
“小家伙,现在明白了么,什么是源头之血?”男人哈哈大笑:“区区暗神之血,对于你来说又算得上什么?”Hepattedhisshoulder: „Looks afterRomainewell, puts out the acting of man.”
他拍了拍他的肩膀:“好好照顾罗曼,拿出男子汉的担当来。”Finally, a greenlong hairhangsto the young girl of anklearrives in front ofhim, calmlyvisitshim: „Sophie, Iknow that youcould not have recalledthesedays that wepassedtogethernow, butdo not forget the truthCouncilideal and faith, take care of themselveswell.”
最后,一头绿色长发垂至足踝的少女来到他面前,静静地看着他:“苏菲,我知道你现在已经记不起我们所共同度过的那些日子,但不要忘记了真理议会的理想与信念,好好照顾自己。”„The Gaiagoddess......”Brandoblurted out.
“盖亚女神……”布兰多脱口而出。Butheclosed the mouthimmediately, somelookstartledanotherkeeps offbeforeoneselfsuddenlythewoman.
但他马上闭上了嘴巴,有些愕然地看着另一个忽然挡在自己面前的这个女人。„Ma...... Princess Magdelle?”
“玛……玛格达尔公主?”„Youmight as wellcallmeProject 13to be better,”with the femaleface that onNun-Princessis an excellent likeness, actuallyrevealswipes the wild and intractablesmiling faceto come, sheis shaking the headto reply: „Ok, in any casethatwas the pastmatter, saidagainthisplan was also each one thing of covering their ears and eyes.”
“你不如叫我13号工程更好一些,”与修女公主神似的女人脸上,却露出一抹桀骜不驯的笑容来,她摇着头答道:“不过算了,反正那都是过去的事情了,再说这个计划本身也不过是个个掩人耳目的东西。”„Youwere......”Brandorespondedsuddenly.
“你是……”布兰多忽然反应了过来。„Toldher, forgotme,”womansmiledfree and easy: „Ionlyhope that shecanbe happy.”
“告诉她,忘了我吧,”女人洒脱地一笑:“我仅希望她能够幸福。”Womanbendsbodytohimgood a ritual: „13 th, said goodbyetoyouhere, Mr.Sophie.”
女人屈身向他行了一礼:“十三号,在此向您告辞了,苏菲先生。”
The one after anotherformdisappeared.一个个身影消失了。Space becomes as if peaceful.空间仿佛重新变得安静下来。Brandoraises head, onlysaw that the everywherethick fallingluminous spotfalls, fallsbetweenhisshouldersandboth hands, hissubconsciouslypicks upboth hands, gatherslight spherein the palm.布兰多抬起头,只看到漫天纷纷扬扬的光点落下,落在他的肩头与双手之间,他下意识地托起双手,在手心中汇聚成一个光球。Thatlight sphereis glittering.
那个光球闪烁着。Greensuch as the ray of dreamland.
苍翠如梦境的光芒。
