“尤拉,”艾柯忽然说道:“待会你带着我们的女儿先走,我必须留下来,我是此地的主人,我必须为宴会的宾客们负责。再说如果我一走,伯尼切尔就彻底乱了,王子殿下此刻还在这里,他能到来是公主殿下对我们的信任,我必须保证他们的安全。”Yulasilentlynodded.尤拉默默地点了点头。„Youare surely careful.”
“你千万小心。”„Iunderstand,”on the Ikefaceshows the gentlesmile: „Evenforourdaughters, Iwill not easily take the one's ownlifeto crack a joke, if the mattercannot, I willcatch upyour.”
“我明白,”艾柯脸上露出温柔的微笑:“就算是为了我们的女儿,我也不会轻易拿自己的性命开玩笑,如果事不可为,我会追上你们的。”Yulathenfelt relieved, although she facial coloris tranquilas usual, butcloselygrips the hand that the husbandturns white, actuallydemonstratesherrealsentiment.尤拉这才放下心来,她虽然面色平静如常,但紧紧握住自己丈夫发白的手,却显示出她内心的真实感情。Severalpeoplequickthenarrive under of Countmansion, in a secret room, this momentmiddle-agedKnighthas waited forhere, himconnectsoutsidesecret passageto enterthisplacethrough the Countmansionobviously. WhenIkeseesthatperson, cannot help butrevealsmeaning of the pleasant surprise: „Mr.Siika, UncleMakarov did hecome?”
几人很快便来到伯爵府邸的正下方,一间密室之内,此刻一个中年骑士早已等待在此,显然他是通过伯爵府邸连接外面的密道进入此地的。当艾柯看到那人的时候,不由得露出一丝惊喜之意:“科西卡先生,马卡罗叔叔他来了吗?”„SirIke, youcamefinally, outsideattackis somewhat not as we expectedbeside, SirMakarovhewantsto comepersonally, butwas advisedbyus, nowhas changed to the city halldirection. Hemademegiveyouto havesomewords, butdoes not sayat presentthesetimes, wehad guarded the secret passageaccess, the Sirpleasefirstshiftto a saferplace, thendiscussed the followingissue.”
“艾柯大人,你终于来了,外面的袭击有些出乎我们的预料之外,马卡罗大人他本来想亲自来,不过被我们劝阻了,现在已经转到市政大厅方向去了。他让我给你带了一些话,不过眼下不是说这些的时候,我们已经将密道的出入口把守了起来,大人请先转移到更安全的地方,再谈接下来的问题。”Thatmiddle-agedKnightputting on a serious facereplied.
那中年骑士板着脸回答道。Ikegripswife'shand, amongtwo peopleconfrontedsilently the moment, heloosens the hand, thenreceived the one's owndaughterfrom the wet-nursehand, this the world'smost precioustreasure, hands overonYulaseriously.艾柯握住自己妻子的手,两人之间默默对峙了片刻,他才重新松开手,然后从乳母手上接过自己的女儿,将这个这个世界上最贵重的珍宝,郑重地交到尤拉手上。„Yula. Goes, will be all right.”
“尤拉。去吧,会没事的。”„Un.”
“嗯。”„SirIke, you?”
“艾柯大人,你?”„Imustremain. Mr.Siika, His Highness Halutzalso outside. No matterKnightscontrols the situation, Imustlook.”
“我要留下来。科西卡先生,哈鲁泽殿下还在外面。不管骑士们有没有控制住局势,我都必须去看一看。”
The middle-agedKnightlooklooked athisoneeyescomplex.
中年骑士神色复杂地看了他一眼。„Good, Iandyoutogether, SirIke.”Hehas turned head, saidtoone's ownKnight: „Escorts the madame and young ladyleaveshere, protectsthem.”
“好吧,我和你一起,艾柯大人。”他回过头,对自己的身边的骑士说道:“护送夫人和小姐离开这里,保护好她们。”„Iunderstand, Sir.”TwoKnightnodto sayimmediately.
“我明白,大人。”两名骑士立刻点头道。Saying, Knightsis openingsecret passage. LetYulaholdElarafirstto enter, is the wet-nurseaccompanieswithtwo, finallytheywith, closed the secret passagegatefrominside.
说着,骑士们打开密道。让尤拉抱着艾拉拉先进入其中,然后是乳母与两位随从,最后他们才跟了进去,从里面合上了密道的门。„Mr.Siika, thank you.”Ikesaw that the one's ownwifedisappearsafter the secret door, looking distractedsaid.
“科西卡先生,谢谢你。”艾柯看到自己的妻子消失在密门之后,才若有所失地说道。„Is impolite, SirIke, walks, Ideliver you lastregulation.”Middle-agedKnightrepliedlightly.
“不客气,艾柯大人,走吧,我送你最后一程。”中年骑士淡淡地答道。Ikestaresslightly, hehas just about to turned around. Suddenlyfeels a veststabbing pain. ThisLantolianyoungDukestaredin a big way the eyeshocking, does not dareto believelooks that the bloodysharp blade that puncturedfromownchest.艾柯微微一愣,他刚要转过身。忽然感到背心一阵刺痛。这位兰托尼兰年轻的公爵震惊地瞪大了眼睛,不敢置信地看着那柄从自己胸口刺出的血淋淋的利刃。Onlyin a flash, hethenfelt that the whole bodystrengthgoestooneself. Heopens mouthstrenuously, immediatelyspoutsbloodfroth that is mixing the internal organsfragment.
只一瞬间,他便感到浑身的力气离自己而去。他吃力地张开嘴,立刻喷出了一口混合着内脏碎片的血沫来。„Why......”
“为什么……”„SirMakarovmakesmehave the wordsto giveyou, SirIke, hesaid that heregrettedvery much, is very painful, regretted that hecannotteachyourso manychivalry...... yourjustnessandnicelymadehimbegratified, but, Aouinewas not the dependencenaiveandjustcansave.”
“马卡罗大人让我带话给你,艾柯大人,他说他很后悔,也很痛苦,后悔他不应当教导你这么多骑士的精神……你的正义与善良令他感到欣慰,可是,埃鲁因不是依靠天真与正义就可以拯救的。”Middle-agedKnightrepliedcalmly.
中年骑士冷静地回答道。„You......”
“你们……”„Aouineis notCorcovaroyal familyoneroom of Aouine, SirIke. Youwantto notice that the Opheliafamilyvanishes in a puff of smokeinyourhand, thereforesorry. Sometimes, only thenbleeds to recallall......”
“埃鲁因不是科尔科瓦王室一家一室的埃鲁因,艾柯大人。你想看到奥菲利亚家族在你手上灰飞烟灭么,所以对不起。有时候,只有流血才能挽回一切……”„Makarov...... uncle......

Hisextend the hand, as ifin the endlessdarkness, sawoneselfwife'sfacial featuresslowlyforward, oneselfdaughter'sfacial features: „Yula......”
“马卡罗……叔叔……。利伍兹……老师……”艾柯眼中涌出带血的泪水来,他张大嘴,竭力呼吸着,好像要抓住什么。他缓缓向前伸出手,似乎在无尽的黑暗之中,看到了自己妻子的面容,自己女儿的面容:“尤拉……”
The candlewent out.
蜡烛熄灭了。In the darkness becomes silent.
黑暗中变得寂静无声。Middle-agedKnightsighedslightly, hetakes out the daggerfrom the youngsterice-coldcorpseverygently, thenboth handssupporthim, cautiouslyhiskeep flaton the ground.
中年骑士微微叹息了一声,他十分轻柔地从年轻人冰冷的尸体上抽出匕首,然后双手托住他,小心翼翼地将他平放在地上。Heused the handdelimited a Golden Flamesymbolbeforeoneselfchest front and volume, recited anything in a low voice, finallytook off the coat, coveredon the body of youngDukethislong sleepforever.
他用手在自己胸前与额前划了一个金色之炎的符号,低声吟诵了一句什么,最后脱下外套,盖在这个永远长眠的年轻公爵的身上。„Aouine's future,”hesaidin a soft voice: „Maymove towardanotherroad, onlyhas the correctness, does not have the justice.”
“埃鲁因的未来,”他轻声说道:“或许会走向另一条路,唯有正确,没有正义。”In the darkness, the secret dooropenedonce again.
黑暗中,密门又一次打开了。Hisstepsenter, finallylooked at this room, thencloses the secret door, all in thisbasement, return to the eternalsilencein this moment.
他踏步而入,最后看了一眼这个房间,然后才合上密门,这地下室中的一切,在此一刻重归永恒的寂静。Behind the secret door, middle-agedKnightwalkssilentlyin a longroad, hetakes offGlove of belt/bringbloodat the same time, discardsconveniently. The frontappearedquicklyluminously, hisKnightshand/subordinateis waiting forhim there.
在密门背后,中年骑士默默地走在一条长长的甬道之中,他一边脱下带血的手套,随手丢掉。前方很快出现了光亮,他手下的骑士们正在那里等待着他。HoweverthatKnightsomewhatis obviously flustered, the complexionsomewhatis even pale, hisseeing thatfacial colorslightlychanges, subconsciouslyobserved the situationall around, the groundlies downfourcorpse——twoto accompanyis sheared the throat, in the wet-nurseback a sword, pouredin the pool of blood, butremainingthat were actually notMadameDuke, butwashisKnighthand/subordinate.
不过那个骑士明显有些慌张,脸色甚至有些苍白,他见状面色微微一变,下意识地环视四周,地上躺着四具尸体——两个随从被割了喉咙,乳母背后中了一剑,倒在血泊中,但剩下的那一具却不是公爵夫人,而是他手下的骑士。„What's the matter?”In the middle-agedKnightheartis furious, „MissYula?”
“怎么回事?”中年骑士心中震怒,“尤拉小姐呢?”„Ido not know,”thatKnightlookrepliedintense: „Wearrive athalf, MadameDukeweepsuddenlyin a low voice, weare afraid the matterchange, hasto beginahead of time. Has not thoughtafterkillingtheseservants, Luo Wenhecalled out pitifullysuddenly, whenIlighten the flaretime, turned intonowthisappearance......”
“我不知道,”那骑士神色紧张地答道:“我们走到一半,公爵夫人忽然低声啜泣起来,我们害怕事情有变,只好提前动手。可没想到在杀死了那些下人之后,罗文他忽然惨叫了一声,等我点亮火把的时候,就变成现在这个样子了……”„Waste!”Middle-agedKnightcrossedoneselfhand/subordinateKnightcorpse, discovered that the waistborderis inserting a sharpdagger, thatdaggerpassesarmorto enterfromheavy/thickchainarmorunexpectedly, strikesto be killed violently, neat.

“废物!”中年骑士翻过自己手下骑士的尸身,发现腰际插着一把尖利的匕首,那匕首竟然从厚重的链甲之间透甲而入,一击毙命,干净利落。他长长地吸了一口气,然后站起身来:“还楞着干什么,你这白痴,赶快去通知巫师大人们!”„Is, Sir, my goes.”KnighthearsYanruhoodwinks the pardon, immediatelyturns aroundto run.
“是是,大人,我这就去。”骑士闻言如蒙大赦,立刻转身跑了出去。

……In the darkness the sewagecrossflow, Berniceundergrounddrainage systemhas then been in bad repairto stopoperatingbeforehalf a centuryin fact, inside the junkstrashhas piled up, the crown of canalhas the waterto seep outunceasingly, tick-tockfallsin the moistgloomyground, sends outis making the odor that the personseveralwantsto feel sick.
黑暗中污水横流,伯尼切尔地下的排水系统早在半个世纪之前事实上便已经失修停止运作,内里杂物垃圾早已堆积如山,水道的顶部不断有水渗出,滴滴答答落在潮湿阴暗的地面上,散发着令人几欲作呕的恶臭。In the CaglisshandgraspsilluminationMoonstone, the cold lighthas been sweeping the gloomyroad, oftensaw that a group ofmousehas run from groups, makingonebe afraid.卡格利斯手中握着一枚发光的月长石,冷光扫过阴暗的甬道,不时看到一大群老鼠成群结队地从中跑过,令人不寒而栗。Heis frowningtightly, thissewerconstructionalmost100-200years ago, since Vierowas merged intoAouine, hereforgotwithabandoning of fort, keeps old friendships in mindto lose the restorationdrainage systemto collapseeverywhere, was in itself full of the danger. Moreoverin the darknessis also hidingsome not well-knowndemon, purpleliquid that onhisswordcontaminates, is actually blood of Ghoul.
他紧皱着眉头,这条下水道修建于差不多100-200年之前,自从维埃罗被并入埃鲁因之后,这里就随着要塞的废弃而被人遗忘,念旧失去修缮的排水系统到处坍塌,本身就充满了危险。而且黑暗中还隐藏着一些不知名的魔物,他的剑上沾染的紫色液体,其实就是一头食尸鬼的血液。Thatgadget is really extremelydangerous, so long ascomesseveralheads, henotnecessarilycan endure. Naturallyheis good, the keyis to take care oftwochildren, is really makeshimbe thrown into confusion.
那玩意儿实在是太过危险,只要多来几头,他就不一定吃得消。当然他自己还好,关键是要照顾两个孩子,实在是令他手忙脚乱。„If we had knownmadeHis Highness Halutzalsopick a swordto be good, whatIflauntedto be ableblindly, hisSwordsmanshipwasLord Countgivespersonally, againbadlywhere did the energy balancearrivegoes?”Caglissfeltoneselfwalkedbad lucktruly, started is not sober the brain.
“早知道让哈鲁泽殿下也捡一把剑就好了,我瞎逞什么能,他的剑术是伯爵大人亲自所授,再差又能差到什么地方去?”卡格利斯觉得自己是真正走了霉运,连脑子都开始不清醒起来。Is good because of being very reliableforlittle girl that theylead the way, thishas not enteredwhatimpasseall the way, butthislittle whileCaglisshas responded, onthislittle girlnamedMikayaclean, is neater than the daughter of generalcommoner, howpossiblyto livein such dirtyplace.
好在为他们引路的小姑娘十分可靠,这一路上都没走进什么死胡同,不过这会儿卡格利斯已经反应过来了,这个叫做米卡雅的小女孩身上干干净净,比一般平民家的女儿还要整洁,怎么可能是住在这么肮脏的地方。Hefelt likeoneselfwere swindled, actuallyfor a while could also not sayiswhy.
他隐隐约约觉得自己上了当,一时却又说不出来究竟是为什么。Severalpeoplehadhalf an hourtimein the sewerquickly, butat this time, Mikayastoppedsuddenly.
几人在下水道中走了快有半个钟头的时间,而正是这个时候,米卡雅忽然停了下来。„What's wrong?”Caglissasked.
“怎么了?”卡格利斯问道。„Fronthas the person.” The little girlsrepliedcalmly.
“前面有人。”小女孩平静地答道。„Whatperson?”
“什么人?”„Previouslyinthesepeople who at the banquetbumped into.”
“先前在宴会上碰到的那些人。”„How do youknow?”Caglissaskedsurprised, hehad not detected that whatdirection the opposite party, thislittle girlhad judged the status of opposite party, was thispossible?
“你怎么知道?”卡格利斯吃惊地问道,他根本都还没有察觉对方在什么方向,这小女孩就已经判断出对方的身份了,这怎么可能?Only if this little girlrealstrengthis actually higher than him.
除非这小姑娘的真实实力其实比他还要高。„BecausemyManaexhausted,”Mikayareplied: „Ihave been usingDark Manato avoidthesepeople, butnowis not good, I can only feel that theyare dependingto cometous.”
“因为我魔力耗尽了,”米卡雅答道:“我一直在用黑暗魔力避开这些人,但现在不行了,我只能感到他们正在向我们这边靠过来。”„What?”Caglissfeltoneselfmisunderstood certainlyanything, or has a dreamhas not awaked.
“什么?”卡格利斯觉得自己一定是听错了什么,要不就是做梦还没睡醒。„ActuallyMikayasheiswitch,”Halutzmustsmile bitterlyto reply: „Mr.Cagliss.”
“其实米卡雅她是女巫,”哈鲁泽只得苦笑着回答道:“卡格利斯先生。”„What?”Caglissknowswherefinallyhas problems, hethought that oneselfsimplyis a played withfool: „Yourmeaningis, are actually youunderLord Thane's?”
“什么?”卡格利斯终于知道是什么地方出了问题,他觉得自己简直就是个被玩弄的笨蛋:“你的意思是,其实你是领主大人的属下?”Little girlscrookedtilting the head, spits the tonguetohimembarrassed.
小女孩歪了歪头,不好意思地对他吐了吐舌头。
This lovablemovement, looks likeactuallyseemed likeinCagliss a smalldevilat this moment.
这原本可爱的动作,此刻在卡格利斯看来却像是一个小恶魔。„Damn——”Caglissis quietsuddenly, heshows the vigilantlook, raised up a fingertobeing just aboutto open the mouthHalutzto give a keeping silenthand signal: „Has the sound of footsteps.”
“该死——”卡格利斯忽然住了嘴,他露出警惕的神色,竖起一根指头对正要开口哈鲁泽作了一个噤声的手势:“有脚步声。”Heraises headto the background, thencautiouslyprotectsHalutzandMikaya after behind, has turned headto asklow voice: „Really is the determinationthesepeople?”
他向来路上抬起头,然后小心翼翼地将哈鲁泽和米卡雅护在身后,回过头小声问道:“真的确定是那些人吗?”Mikayanodded.米卡雅点了点头。„Has the meansto avoid?”
“有没有办法避开?”
The little girlsthought: „IlostMana, the words that nowwecontinueto go forward, will arousetheirvigilances.”
小女孩想了一下:“我失去了魔力,现在我们继续前进的话,会引起他们的警觉的。”„Wehideinthisplace, can theydetect?”
“那我们躲在这个地方,他们能察觉么?”„Iftheydo not pay attention, perhaps,”Mikayawill not reply: „The wizardsPerceptionabilitydoes not gototherecompared with the average person, Silver Lineage is also same, iftheyusemagicto survey, wedid not haveto hide.”
“如果他们不注意的话,或许不会,”米卡雅答道:“巫师们的感知能力也并不比一般人强到那里去,白银之民也是一样,不过如果他们用魔法探测的话,我们就无所遁形了。”
