Caglisssank the facial color, heclenches teeth, feltoneselfdo not dareto bet. Thinks ofthis, heopens the mouth saying: „Youtreathere, Ilead awaythem, ifthere is an opportunity, yourun——”卡格利斯沉下了面色,他咬了咬牙,觉得自己还是不敢赌一把。想及此,他开口道:“你们待在这里,我去引开他们,如果有机会,你们就跑——”„Got it?”
“明白了吗?”„Mr.Cagliss, youcannot......”
“卡格利斯先生,你不能……”„Shut up,”this came from the Trentheimcarelessyoungnoblejuniors, first timeshows the seriouslook, hisevendisregarded another's feelingsinterrupted the Halutzwords: „His Highness Halutz, nowis not the discussioncan, do, oureveryoneis in danger, but ifwedo not strivewith every effort, wewill really diehere.”
“闭嘴,”这个来自于托尼格尔吊儿郎当的年轻贵族子弟,头一次露出严肃的神色,他甚至毫不留情面地打断了哈鲁泽的话:“哈鲁泽殿下,现在不是讨论能不能、做不做的时候,我们每一个人都有生命危险,但如果我们不尽力去争取,我们就会真的死在这里。”Hepatted the shoulder of Halutz: „Got it, King.”
他拍了拍哈鲁泽的肩膀:“明白了吗,国王陛下。”„I......”Halutzgentlynodded: „Iunderstood, Mr.Cagliss.”
“我……”哈鲁泽轻轻点了点头:“我明白了,卡格利斯先生。”„Thatsettled,”Caglissreverses the sword blade, hands overin the swordhishand: „IfIcannot escape, thisswordis also not meaningfulto me, takesit, protectsyourwoman.”
“那就这么说定了,”卡格利斯倒转剑身,将剑交到他手上:“如果我逃不掉,这剑对我来说也没什么意义,拿着它,保护好你身边的女士。”Halutzfirmlynodded.哈鲁泽坚定地点了点头。Heas ifalsowantsto sayanything, butCaglissbeckons with the handtohim, figureflashes, thenvanishedin the darkness.
他似乎还想说什么,但卡格利斯向他摆了摆手,身形一闪,便消失在了黑暗之中。Halutzcloselyclosed the mouth, hecloselyis shaking hand the sharp sword, as ifthatis the thing that hecantake advantage ofonly. Hisknuckleblanch, suppressesnot to make the tearsclass/flowcome out, because the teacherhas toldhim, the mancannoteasilyburst into tears.哈鲁泽紧紧地闭上了嘴巴,他紧紧握着手中的利剑,仿佛那是他唯一可以依仗的东西。他指节发白,强忍住不让眼泪流出来,因为老师告诉过他,男子汉是不能够轻易流泪的。Thenhefelt an ice-coldhandaccording to hisback of the hand.
然后他感到一只冰冷的手按在了他的手背上。„Thatfellow, hewill be all right.”
“那个家伙,他会没事的。”Halutzhas turned headsurprised, looks atcalmMikaya.哈鲁泽吃惊地回过头,看着一脸平静的米卡雅。
The little girlslightlysoundreplied, seems telling a truth: „Mother Marshais fairtothisworldall, heis a fool, therefore the luck will be quite definitely good.”
小女孩却微声答道,仿佛在讲述一个真理:“玛莎大人对这个世间的一切都是公平的,他是个笨蛋,所以运气肯定会比较好。”„Ha?”
“哈?”Mikayatohecomparedone‚breathing out’ the hand signal.米卡雅对他比了一个‘嘘’的手势。Halutzfrightensagaincloses the mouthhastily. Hehas turned head, hearsin the darkness an angrily rebukingsoundto transmit. The sound of footsteps seems to be going far away, hefeels the one's ownheartbeatbang bang the sound. The probablysmallchestmustblast opento be the same, heis nipping the lower lip. In the heartisCaglissis prayingsilently.哈鲁泽吓得连忙再次闭上嘴巴。他回过头,听到黑暗中一阵怒斥声传来。脚步声似乎正在远去,他感到自己的心跳得砰砰响。好像小小的胸膛都要炸裂开来一样,他咬着下唇。心中默默地为卡格利斯祈祷着。Butpassed the moment, allsoundsvanished, in the darknessbecomesall the sounds of natureentirelystatic.
但过了片刻,一切声音都消失了,黑暗中重新变得万籁俱静。Mikayaholdshiswristsuddenly: „Walksquickly.”米卡雅忽然抓住他的手腕:“快走。”Shesaidrapidly.
她急促地说道。Halutzhas not responded,in the darkness a dazzlingraythenswept, althoughhas not illuminatedtotwopeople, has actually been completely unmaskedtheirsafe houses. An sharpsoundsound: „Ha, herereallyalsohasfish slip through, comes out!”哈鲁泽还没反应过来,黑暗中一道刺眼的光芒便扫了过来,虽然还没照到两人身上,却已将他们的藏身处暴露无遗。一个尖锐的声音响了起来:“哈,这里果然还有漏网之鱼,出来吧!”At that momentHalutzonlyfeltinownbrain a blank. Hethinks that oneselfdied, all that butusuallyinstudiedas ifnaturallypresentedinhismind, hehardlywith the ponder, subconsciouslylifted the handtoward the ceiling of undergroundroad, shouted:
那一刻哈鲁泽只感到自己脑子里一片空白。他以为自己死定了,但平日里所学的一切仿佛是自然而然地呈现在他的脑海之中,他几乎不用思考,下意识地向着地下甬道的天花板抬起手,喊道:„Eaam!”
“eaam!”black ray of lightprojectsfromthisprincepalm, centerthatdirectionalreadyby the ceiling that ground watercorrodecould not withstandloosely, onlylistened to a bangloud sound, bucketthick or thinsewagejumpedto shootfromthere, the crushed stone of bulkfell offfrom the ceilingunder the water scouring, thenchanged intoa large area oflandslidequickly. In an instant as ifentireholewent against fall.
一道黑光从这位王子殿下手心中射出,正中那个方向早就被地下水侵蚀得松动不堪的天花板,只听轰一声巨响,一股水桶粗细的污水从那里迸射而出,在水流冲刷之下大块大块的碎石从天花板上脱落而下,然后很快化为了大面积的塌方。刹那之间仿佛整个洞顶都落了下来。Mighty currentinstantaneouslyHalutzandMikayatoflying, the formerwas hiton a stone column, is almost painfulheto scream. Howeverat this timeHalutzactuallydoes not dareto stay. Behind hecannot attend toseems like the breaksameache, rises with a springfrom the water, overruns a hand that graspsMikaya, shouts: „Run!”
洪流瞬间将哈鲁泽和米卡雅冲飞了出去,前者更是被撞在了一根石柱上,痛得他差点叫出声来。不过这时候哈鲁泽却丝毫不敢停留。他顾不得背后好像断裂一样的疼痛,从水中一跃而起,冲过去一把抓起米卡雅的手,喊道:“快跑!”Two peopleruntotteringlyforward, butin a minute, thenbroadcast the sound of second explosion, in the stone that fliesto shootcrossesdozensmetersdistanceto be thincrash-bang the hiton the wall, some gravelevenhitinHalutz conduct the back, shortly will then beonegroup of purpleonegroup of black.
两人跌跌撞撞地向前跑去,只不过片刻,身后便传来了第二次爆炸的声音,飞射的石块越过几十米的距离稀里哗啦撞击在墙壁上,有一些石子甚至打在哈鲁泽背上,顷刻之间便是一团紫一团乌。Butheactuallydoes not dareto have the slightstay. Heknows that that second explosionwasthatgreyWizardpursued certainly. Really, onlyheard an angrysoundto pass from thatdirection:
但他却不敢有丝毫停留。他知道那第二次爆炸一定是那个灰法师追了上来。果然,只听一个愤怒的声音从那个方向传了过来:„Black Magic?”Thatsharpsoundshouts: „Verygood. But actuallyactuallyImusthave a lookamwheresacred!”
“黑魔法?”那个尖锐的声音喊道:“很好。我倒要看看究竟是何方神圣!”HalutzhearsYanzhithought that the ghostbraves, heveryclearatone's ownlevel of strength. Possiblyis not the BuganianSilver Lineageopponent. He can only place hopes here tangled and complicatedterrain to make the opposite partycircleconfused, althoughseems likethatto be very likely.哈鲁泽闻言只觉得心中亡魂直冒,他很清楚以自己的实力水准。不可能是布加人白银之民的对手。他只能寄希望于这里错综复杂的地形能让对方绕晕头,虽然看起来那个可能性很小。Two peoplethenrunquicklypant, but the Mikayaactuallystrengthnot as he expected, thislittle girldoes not utter a wordfrom beginning to end, althoughthisbecause ofhim, makes the opposite partyfall into the dangerous situationobviously.
两人很快便跑得气喘吁吁,不过米卡雅却出乎他预料的坚强,这小姑娘从头到尾都一声不吭,虽然这明明是因为他,才让对方身陷险境。„Sorry, Mikaya......”Halutzpants for breathwas sayingapologetically: „Iam not good, Iwas too tired to move any further, because ofmyreasonyoucanlike this......”
“对不起,米卡雅……”哈鲁泽喘息着歉然道:“我不行了,我跑不动了,都是因为我的缘故你才会这样……”HethinksMikayawill rebut with sarcasm, butdoes not wantto succeed in obtainingonactuallygets nothing for one's effortall of a sudden. Halutzalmostfrightensimmediatelyscreams, hethinks that greyWizardhad pursued, thenholds up the sword to puncturesubconsciouslybehind.
他本来以为米卡雅会反唇相讥,但没想到手上却一下子抓了个空。哈鲁泽顿时吓得差点叫出声来,他以为那灰法师已经追了上来,下意识便举起剑向身后刺去。Buthas not thought that a handactuallyextendedfrom the darkness, strikesto wipe out the long sword in hishand, thenheldhisarmto entrainhim. Halutzfrightensopens mouth to shout,was actually covered the mouthby a softhand, lettinghimonlyto makewū wū the sound.
但没想到一只手却从黑暗中伸了出来,一击打掉他手中的长剑,然后抓住他的胳膊将他拽了过去。哈鲁泽吓得张嘴欲喊,却被一只柔软的手捂住了嘴巴,让他只能发出呜呜的声音。Butat this timeherespondedfinally, holdshispersonnotthatgreyWizard, becauseheclearlyfeltthe one whocovers the mouthis a femalehand.
但这时候他终于反应了过来,抓住他的人并不是那灰法师,因为他分明感到捂住自己嘴巴的是一只女性的手。„Elder SisterLasmeque?”Halutzsubconsciouslyasked.
“莱丝梅卡姐姐?”哈鲁泽下意识地问道。Butwas completely differentfromMs.Medusagentlevoiceactuallymade a soundin the darkness: „Let alonewords, Your HighnessLittle Prince.”
但一个完全不同于美杜莎女士的温柔的声音却在黑暗中响了起来:“别说话,小王子殿下。”Halutzis startledslightly, heobserves the situationall around, thisdiscoveredoneselfplacein a narrow and smallsecret roomunexpectedly. Incessantlyishe, Mikayaalsointhisplace, amongtheir two peopleis the one after anotherveryhighwoman, shehugsHalutzin the bosom, closes one's eyestightly, butinanotherhandis also huggingbaby girl in a swaddling clothes.哈鲁泽微微一怔,他环视四周,这才发现自己竟身处一间狭小的密室之中。不止是他,米卡雅也在这个地方,他们两人之间是一个个子很高女人,她将哈鲁泽搂在怀中,紧闭着眼睛,而另一只手上还抱着一个襁褓之中的女婴。Who the Halutzflashrecognized the opposite partyis.哈鲁泽一瞬间就认出了对方是谁。„, MadameOphelia?”
“奥、奥菲利亚夫人?”„.”
“嘘。”Yulasaidin a soft voice,shelets looseHalutzgently, Halutzthennoticeson the opposite partyreallyto have the wound, a woundhas extended the chestfromhershoulder, the bloodhas soaked the clothing.尤拉轻声说道,她轻轻放开哈鲁泽,哈鲁泽这才注意到对方身上竟然有伤,一道伤口从她肩头一直延伸到胸口,鲜血早已浸透了衣物。Herfrowned, as ifaffected the woundbecause of the beforehandmovement. Even so, shebends the waistslightly, both handsare hugging the baby girl in bosom. Thenhands overonherHalutz.
她皱了皱眉头,似乎因为之前的动作而牵动了伤口。但即便如此,她还是微微弯下腰,双手抱着怀中的女婴。然后将她交到哈鲁泽手上。„Is this......?”In the darkness, the Halutzsilverpupilis sparkling. The look that heusesto have doubtsis inquiring the meaning of thisMadameDuke.
“这是……?”在黑暗中,哈鲁泽银色的眸子闪闪发光的。他用疑惑的眼神询问着这位公爵夫人的意思。„Wecannot keep.”Yularepliedin a soft voice: „Youare the Lantolianguest, IandIkemustguaranteeyourcompleteness.”
“我们藏不住的。”尤拉轻声答道:“你是兰托尼兰的客人,我和艾柯必须保证你的完全。”Shefinishes barely the words, as ifforshouldproveherwordsgeneral, outside the secret roomreallybroadcastpreviouslythatsharpsound.
她话音未落,仿佛是为了应证她的话一般,密室之外果然传来了先前那个尖锐的声音。„Really islaughable, triesto hide itselfin front oftruewizardunexpectedly, does not have the hiddenmouseunder the lightsimplyprobably, rolls!”
“真是可笑之极,竟然在真正的巫师面前试图隐藏自己,简直像是在灯光下无所遁形的老鼠,滚出来吧!”Yulaextend the hand, stopped the Halutzmovement.尤拉伸出手,制止了哈鲁泽的动作。„Guest does as the host pleases.”Hergentle voicereplied: „ThisisourNine Phoenixesarchaism.”
“客随主便。”她柔声答道:“这是我们九凤的古语。”Then, shetouchesdaughter'sforeheadgently, stood up, opened the door of secret room, walked. Sincerestone gaterumbleclosesinHalutzandMikayaat present, Halutzclenches the teeth, closelygrasps itselfto cherish the baby girl, hischestis fluctuatingslightly, actuallycannot makea wee bitsounds.
说罢,她温柔地摸了摸自己女儿的额头,站起身来,打开了密室的门,走了出去。厚重的石门在哈鲁泽与米卡雅眼前轰隆隆地重新合上,哈鲁泽咬紧了牙关,紧紧地抱住自己怀中的女婴,他胸膛微微起伏着,却发不出一丁点的声音。Out of the doorresoundedthatgreyWizardsoundfinally.
门外终于重新响起了那个灰法师的声音。„Well,” the opposite partysomewhat seems to be surprised: „Had a look atmeto discoveranything. This is really a bigprey, the Nine Phoenixesperson, the people of Chosen. Blindeye, thenthiswomanmustbeOpheliaMadameDukeis right?”
“咦,”对方似乎有些惊讶:“看看我发现了什么。这真是一个不小的猎物,九凤人,天选之民。盲眼者,那么这位女士应当就是奥菲利亚公爵夫人对吧?”Ms.Yuladoes not seem to reply.尤拉女士似乎并未答话。Thenthatsoundalsoasked: „Your daughter, Ms.Yula.”
然后那个声音又问道:“你的女儿呢,尤拉女士。”„As a mother, youthinks that I willgives you one's owndaughter, solemn does Buganian, sowallow in degenerationunexpectedly?”
“作为一个母亲,你认为我会将自己的女儿交给你们这些人么,堂堂布加人,竟然如此自甘堕落?”Thatpersonas ifextraordinarily, becausethese wordssilentmoment.
那人似乎出奇地因为这句话沉默了片刻。Thenhesaid: „Iacknowledged that yousaidwell, MadameDuke, butSilver Lineagealsohas the one's ownchoice, itssome are not quite possibly honored. Butinthisworldwas notfrank and uprightcanwinall, otherwiseour these descendants of people of antiquity. Howalsoto reducetotoday'ssuchscene.”
然后他才说道:“我承认你说得不错,公爵夫人,但白银之民亦有自己的选择,它可能有些不太光彩。但这个世界上并不是光明正大就可以赢得一切,否则我们这些上古之民的后代。又如何会沦落到今天这样的光景。”„Everyone has the choice of everyone right,”Yulareplied: „Butsomepeopleare therefore noble. Somepeoplethereforeare despicable, youknow that Iarrive on hereland, what the obtainedbiggestharvestis, Mr.wizard?”
“每个人都有每个人的选择没错,”尤拉答道:“但有的人因此而高贵。有的人却因此而卑劣,你知道我来到这边土地上,得到的最大收获是什么吗,巫师先生?”„What is that?”
“那是什么?”„Isthisworldallloves, is deepandwarm, is lightandlofty, youunderstandall these, Mr.wizard?”
“是这世间一切的爱,深沉而又热烈,平淡而又崇高,你明白这一切吗,巫师先生?”„,”GreyWizardsighedone: „Iunderstand, the honourablewoman, youwill definitely chooseto sacrifice itselfto protect the one's owndaughter, butyouare clear, thisis actually not meaningfulto us.”
“啊,”灰法师感叹了一声:“我明白,值得尊敬的女士,你肯定会选择牺牲自己保护自己的女儿,但你要明白,这对于我们来说其实没有什么意义。”Out of the doorsilentmoment.
门外沉默了片刻。Yulaas ifsaid anything in a low voice.尤拉似乎低声说了一句什么。ThatisNine Phoenixesarchaism——
那是九凤的古语——ThatgreyWizardappearssomewhatis slightly surprised: „What did yousay?”
那个灰法师显得略微有些吃惊:“你说什么?”Butthese wordsstop suddenlyinthis, suddenlychanged into a panic-strickensqueal, „damn, youare makinganything, stop!”At that moment, Halutzin the secret roomfelt that the scalding hotauraheads on, butin his hands, thatbaby girlactuallyshuts tightly the eyesas beforesafelylike the dream.
但这句话在此戛然而止,忽然之间化为了一声惊恐的尖叫声,“该死,你在做什么,住手!”那一刻,哈鲁泽在密室之内都感到灼热的气息扑面而来,但在他的手中,那个女婴却依旧紧闭双眼安然如梦。A moment later, out of the doorhears a sad and shrillpitiful yellsound, thenallwere peaceful.
片刻之后,门外传来一声凄厉的惨叫声,然后一切都安静了下去。In the darkness, Mikayaappears the unexpectedtranquility.
黑暗中,米卡雅显得意外的平静。„Allfinished.”
“一切都结束了。”At that moment, Halutzunderstoodanythingsuddenly.
那一刻,哈鲁泽忽然明白了什么。Heis shiveringslightly, the painclosed the eye, drop of tearstumblefromhislongeyelash, fall, inhebosomabove the forehead of baby girl. Baby girlsuddenly woke up, shestillclosed one's eyes, Yayais crying out, extends the small hand, eventouched the edge of Halutzpalm.
他微微颤抖着,痛苦闭上了眼睛,一滴眼泪从他长长的睫毛上滚落,落在他怀中女婴的额头之上。女婴忽然苏醒了过来,她仍旧闭着眼睛,丫丫地叫唤着,伸出小手,甚至碰触到了哈鲁泽手掌的边缘。Halutzis biting the lipstubbornly, almostbitesto bleed, backhandedly the small hand who hegrips the baby girl, replied: „Elara, Iwill certainly revengeforyourmother, whereno matterthesefellowscome from,” the Little Princesoundis low and deepandsorrowful, nearlyone word at a time: „Ipledged.”哈鲁泽死死地咬着嘴唇,几乎咬出血来,他反手握住女婴的小手,答道:“艾拉拉,我一定会为你母亲报仇的,不管那些家伙来自什么地方,”小王子的声音低沉而哀痛,近乎一字一顿:“我发誓。”Hesilentmoment: „Takes an oathin the name ofKingAouine.”
他沉默了片刻:“以埃鲁因国王的名义起誓。”Butat that moment, the baby girlopened the eyesuddenly, in the darkness, thatunexpectedlyis a pair of splendidgoldendoublepupil.
而正是那一刻,女婴忽然睁开了眼睛,在黑暗之中,那竟是一双熠熠生辉的金色双眸。Halutzwas shocked:哈鲁泽愣住了:„Is this...... Gold race descendant?”
“这是……黄金族裔?”„so that's how it is,”Mikayacrawledsuddenly, arrives at the Halutzside, herextend the handis stroking the forehead of baby girlgently: „Sheis not the people of gold, thiswascontaminates the descendant of Twilightstrength, the tiamatnetworkcollapsed the laterbirthfirst generation.”
“原来如此,”米卡雅忽然爬了过来,来到哈鲁泽的身边,她伸出手轻轻地抚摸着女婴的额头:“她并不是黄金的子民啊,这是沾染了黄昏力量的后代,tiamat的网络崩溃之后出生的第一代。”In the darkness, the voice of little girlis gentleandstable.
黑暗中,小女孩的声音轻柔而安定。„so that's how it is, thisis the choice of thisworld, futurehopein......”
“原来如此,这就是这个世界的选择,未来的希望所在……”
