密密麻麻无以计数的水晶虫子,形同一个盘踞在大地上巨大的蠕动母体,这个母体缓慢吞没一切的过程,足以令人感到窒息与绝望。Anotherflagvanishesin the purplesea.

“嘘——”死亡仿佛近在咫尺,但那个脸上有一道深深到刀痕的女骑士却安静地将手指竖起来在唇边,示意他噤声。她指了指头顶上,对年轻的骑士说道:“听。”

前方已是最后的城垒。On the embattlement, Veronica, Mangrove, Vala, the seniorprime minister, Duke of MehautofenandDuke of Ludwigcomplexionis dignified, underthem, the Kirrlutzianbattlelinehas compared a paperto be weaker.
城垛上,维罗妮卡、曼格罗夫、瓦拉、老宰相、梅霍托芬公爵与路德维格公爵脸色凝重,在他们下方,克鲁兹人的阵线已经比一张纸更加薄弱。But everyone is actually gazing at the sky.
但每个人却都注视着天空。
The thickcloud layeris separating.
厚厚的云层正在分开。Hugehalois ripplingslowlyfrom the Four Borders Plainsouthernhorizon, shoves open the surrounding area the cloud layer within several thousandli (0.5 km)......
一个巨大的光环正从四境之野南方的天际缓缓漾开,推开方圆几千里内的云层……Babel Fortressbeyondseveral hundredli (0.5 km).巴贝尔要塞几百里之外。Aboveseveralkilometerssea of clouds, BallouVitoafterputting oncloud layer, sawagainsimilarlyinKirrlutz that cumulo stratus cloudsanotherendcomes.
几千米的云海之上,巴鲁维托号在穿出云层之后,再一次看到了同样在积层云另一端现身的克鲁兹号。Under the sunlight, ontworesplendent in gold and jade greenflagships, HazellianandKirrlutzianrespectiveCommanderpenetrates the observer's apparatusto gaze below Four Borders Plain, two peopleare all serious.
在阳光之下,两艘金碧辉煌的旗舰上,哈泽尔人与克鲁兹人各自的指挥官都透过观测仪注视着下方的四境之野,两人皆面色凝重。BesideHaulotforest, a giantblackspheroidspans—— its lower partin the worldhoveringabove the plain, the middlehas passed through the cloud layer;InnumerableWyvern and having a nightmareinsectis surroundingthisblackballflight, looksto just likeseveralsunspotsfrom afar.
奥洛森林之外,一个巨大的黑色球体横亘在天地之间——它的下部悬停在平原之上,中部就已经穿过了云层;无数飞龙与魇虫环绕着这个黑球飞行,远远看去犹如几个黑点。ButblackballbelowKanderbegcity, onlyjust like a coin.
而黑球下方的坎德贝尔城,只犹如一枚硬币。„Brightauraonly.”
“有神祇的气息。”„IsDragon GodBahamut, thisthingonceroutedlegion and the blacklegionazureallied armiesin the Mazearea.”
“是龙神巴哈姆特,这东西曾经在梅兹地区击溃了青之军团与黑之军团的联军。”„In the Kanderbegcityhas the person, evidentlyisSilver Bay Coalition, howto cope withthisthing?”
“坎德贝尔城内有人,看样子是银湾联军,怎么对付这东西?”„We can only find the wayto attractthisthing the attention, strives for an evacuationforthesepitifulfellowstime——”

但传令兵有些焦急的声音从传讯水晶中传了出来,“指挥官阁下,十秒钟前东南方向出现大量能量反应,那些东西正在迅速接近,距离一千五百,速度很快……不像是精灵空骑兵。”„Alert posture!”
“警戒状态!”„Wait, the opposite partyresponded tous...... isDragon Race!”
“等等,对方回应我们了……是龙族!”„Dragon Race?”
“龙族?”„The opposite partysaid that sheis the currentDragon RaceArchdukelord, shecalledAloz...... Alozgold/metalflame.”
“对方说她是现任的龙族大公主,她叫阿洛兹……阿洛兹・金焰。”„gold dragon......?”
“金龙么……?”dragon.巨龙到了。dragonflightpassing over gently and swiftlySzoBuysnearbysky.龙群正掠过索拜斯附近的天空。Thesegiant beastsopen the pair of wings, sun-blockingformone after anotherhave swept the sky of forest, occupieselvesinforestrunsin abundancefrom the one's owntreeroom, as ifthinks that metworldJudgment Day.
这些巨兽张开双翼,遮天蔽日的身影一道道扫过森林的上空,居住在森林中的精灵们纷纷从自己的树屋中跑出来,仿佛以为遇到了世界末日。Theyraise headto gaze at the direction that dragonflightis leaving, in the pupilbring the deepcuriosity.
他们仰头注视着龙群离开的方向,眸子里带着深深的好奇。„dragonsappeared, what did the Westhave?”
“巨龙们出现了,西方发生了什么?”ThisisYear of Sword, in this yearMonth of Winter Chordsfirstday.

而许多年后,居住在白山一带的圣奥索尔人甚至都还记得这一天的情形;而那也是人们最后一次在沃恩德大陆上,见到如此大规模的巨龙迁徙。Altogether173dragon.
一共一百七十三头巨龙。ThatisMazedisastrous defeatdragonsafter the finalethnic group that cangather.
那是在梅兹惨败之后巨龙们能够聚集起的最后的族群。„Aloz.”
“阿洛兹。”little dragonessheard the Flovasoundsuddenly.小母龙忽然听到了芙罗法的声音。Ithas turned head, thatgracefulSilver Dragonis flyingsideit, the Silver Dragonitselfis the beautifullife, butitsspouseis the pride of entireDragon Race silvers.
它回过头,那头体态优美的银龙正飞行在它身边,银龙本就是美丽的生灵,而它的配偶更是整个龙族的骄傲。„Looks atsouth——”
“看南边——”Alozgawkedstaring.阿洛兹愣了愣。Hersubconsciouslyhas turned headinthatdirection.
她下意识地向着那个方向回过头。Grey Wind Port, Yanilascapital——灰风港,雅尼拉苏的首府——
The refugees the pushingcrowdedconfusionare gatheringin the wharf, thesepeople the poor man who or the northSwallowburgareagathersfromNall. Suddenly the flames of war of eruptiondestroyedtheyoriginallytranquillife, the rebel army, in the northlaunches the slaughter, but the Energosarmydoes not let off the village——increasing number of people who anytheypass throughto leave the native landbecause offrightened, arrives at the south.
难民们正挤挤攘攘地汇聚在码头,这些人是从西凡那尔或者更北方燕堡地区汇聚来的可怜人。忽然爆发的战火摧毁了他们原本平静的生活,叛军在北方展开屠杀,而能族大军更是不放过任何一个他们所经过的村落——越来越多的人因恐惧而离开故土,来到南方。Buthere, Grey Wind Port is the end that theymove.
但这里,灰风港便是他们迁徙的尽头。In the sea levelcovered entirelywas being aboutto leavethisplace the ships, eachshippacked the person.

海面上布满了正准备离开此地的船只,每一艘船都装满了人。商人们在自发倾倒货物,以期带走更多的人,没有回报,也不计名声,这不过是文明的生物在最危急的关头主动的自救而已。Thisis the sociality of human, withthem and wild animalbiggestdifferences.
这就是人类的社会性,与他们与野兽最大的不同之处。But the shipwas still insufficient.
但船仍旧不够。
The Aouine'sAir Shipteamhas not evacuated, navyhas not made the decision, butCount of Yanilas must wait till the lastshipto leave portin any event, thisissoldierregardingresident'sminimumcommitment that theyprotect.埃鲁因的浮空舰队也没有撤离,海军方面还没有作出决定,但无论如何雅尼拉苏伯爵也要等到最后一条船离港,这是军人对于他们所守护的市民起码的承诺。In the harboralsocovered entirelyall kinds ofgiantseabeasts.
港口中还布满了各式各样巨大的海兽。That is actually greyfinNagaretinue——
那其实是灰鳍娜迦的仆从——
The refugeeshave the fear and tensefacial expressionmount the backs of thesegiant beasts, buteachrides the person who the giant beastis leaving the harbor, bends the waistto saluteto the direction of lighthouserespectfully.
难民们带着害怕与紧张的神情登上这些巨兽的背脊,但每一个乘坐着巨兽离开港口的人,都弯下腰来毕恭毕敬地向灯塔的方向行礼。Inthere, Queen Hanluandone's ownassistantbigsea-nymphBridgettestandsshoulder to shoulder.
在那里,寒露女王与自己的副手大海妖布莉奇特并肩而立。„Saw, Bridgette, thisarewhywemustcomeherereason.”On the face of queenis somewhat indifferent, but the rectangularpupilis glitteringstrangemulti-colorlusterunder the sunlight.
“看到了吗,布莉奇特,这就是为什么我们要来这里的原因。”女王的脸上有些冷漠,但矩形的瞳孔在阳光下闪烁着一种奇异的多彩光泽。
The bigsea-nymphshakes the head: „Wedo not needthesemortals'thanks, your majesty, after Ampere Searlfights, wedid not owetheseAouiniananything.”
大海妖摇了摇头:“我们并不需要这些凡人的感谢,陛下,安培瑟尔一战之后,我们就不欠这些埃鲁因人什么了。”„Whatyouseeis onlythis?”
“你所看到的只是这个吗?”Bigsea-nymphBridgettehas turned head, looks atone's ownHer Majesty the Queen.
大海妖布莉奇特回过头,看着自己的女王陛下。„For a long time, the people of seawere excludedfrom the circle of thisworld, why do youknow? „ Queen Hanlureplied: „ Becauseweoncemissedbestopportunity a time, lostto carve a NagaclannameonthatSaintwhitestele the opportunity.”
“长久以来,海洋之民被排斥在这个世界的圈子之外,你知道为什么吗?“寒露女王答道:“因为我们曾经错失了一次最好的机会,失去了在那块圣白的石碑上刻下娜迦一族名字的机会。”Shepoints at the sea level of distant place saying: „Thisarewhywemustcomeherereason, wemissedonetime, cannotmissagain the secondtime.”
她指着远处的海面说道:“这就是为什么我们要来这里的原因,我们错过了一次,决不能再错过第二次。”In the sky, the cloud layerare getting fewer and fewer.
天空中,云层正越来越少。In a Grey Wind Portcity hallreception room, sitsCount of YanilasandNagaWarriorSannielonsofastops the conversationsimultaneously, feltanything.灰风港的市政大厅一间会客室内,坐在沙发上的雅尼拉苏伯爵与娜迦勇士撒尼珥同时停下交谈,感觉到了什么。But outside hall, had madeonegrouprandomly.
而外面的大厅中,早已乱作了一团。Peoplecompeteto rush to the street in a business area, looksto the south.
人们竞相冲上街面,看向南方。Golan-Elsenhad an accident.戈兰—埃尔森出事了。Somepeopleare shouting.
有人在嚷嚷着。
The brightlight beam, is sparklingin the southernhorizontogethereye-catchingbrilliance——
一道明亮的光柱,在南方的天际闪耀着夺目的光辉——In the ruins of lampfort, Freyais raising head, looks the color of shock: „Thatisanything......!”
灯堡的废墟中,芙蕾雅仰着头,面露震惊之色:“那是什么……!”HerBrandodid not say a word, guessed correctlyanythingfaintly.
她身边布兰多一言不发,隐隐猜到了什么。In the illusion, Miss Advisercurrentalldoes not haveto checktoVaunde.
幻境之中,幕僚小姐对沃恩德所正在发生的一切毫无所查。Shesomewhathas doubtslooks at the opposite party:
她有些疑惑地看着对方:„My father?”
“我的父亲?”Marshanodded.玛莎点了点头。Sheused the handto draw a prospect.
她用手画出了一副图景。Inthatprospect, is a brightroom, the afternoonsunlightfrom the arched window of landingis shootingin the room, the window curtains of one sidesilkpulls opento let fallin the ground, the shadowjustblocked from the bookshelf on wall.
那图景之中,是一间明亮的房间,午后的阳光正从落地的拱窗上射进房间之内,一侧丝质的窗帘拉开垂落在地面上,阴影刚好遮住了墙上的书架。Neardesk, more than tenyears ago comparedobviouslymaturelymanyBorg – NessonViscountsomewhatto takepiece of greystone tabletexcitedly, saidto the one's ownKnightcolleague: „old fellow, but alsoremembers that previouswetalkedtimehere, Ithink that wehave been closesuccessfully, Ihave that stone tabletaccuratewhereabouts.”
书桌边,与十几年前相比明显成熟了许多的博格-内松子爵有些兴奋地拿着一片灰色的石片,对自己的骑士同僚说道:“老伙计,还记得上一次我们在这里的谈话吗,我想我们已经接近成功了,我已经有了那枚石片的确切下落。”AboveseriousKnightforeheadsimilarlytenyears ago were more than severaldeepwrinkles, twotemplesare also graying, helooks at the one's owncompanion, said: „Sheppard, Ithink that Tree Shepherdshas noticedyou.”
严肃的骑士额头之上同样比十年前多了几条深深的皱纹,两鬓也已斑白,他看着自己的同伴,说道:“熙帕德,我想牧树人已经注意到你了。”Viscount Nelsonshrugs: „Naturalmatter, theyare not stupid, butis onlyhad detected that IthinkIhave not exposed the status.”内松子爵耸了耸肩:“理所当然的事情,他们也不蠢,不过只是有所察觉而已,我想我还没有暴露身份。”Amandinalooks at the two people in roomshocking.安蒂缇娜震惊地看着房间中的两人。Hersubconsciouslyforwardedtwosteps, extend the handtriedto holdanything, but the footstepsactuallycannot step into thatroom: „This...... thisismy familyinAldrin'smanor, Irecognizethisplace, hereis the twobuildings in manor, my father'sstudy room......”
她下意识地向前走了两步,伸出手试图要抓住什么,但脚步却始终迈不入那屋子中:“这……这是我家在艾尔德林的庄园,我认得这个地方,这里是庄园的二楼,我父亲的书房……”„Who will heis...... hehowknowmy father'sreal name?”
“还有他是谁……他怎么会知道我父亲的真名?”Miss Adviseris startledasksinexplicably.幕僚小姐吃惊莫名地问道。Marshahintsherto look.玛莎示意她看下去。Amandinabites the lip, sherememberedat that time something , thatmustbeforehis fatherwas missingtwoyears, sheat that timewas only12 -year-old, sheremembers that had the guestto place the one's ownfather, butshewent to nearbyvillageto be a guestwith mother at that time.安蒂缇娜咬了咬嘴唇,她记得那时候发生的一些事情,那应当是在他父亲失踪之前两年,她那时才十二岁,她记得有客人摆放自己的父亲,但她当时和母亲一起去附近的农庄中作客了。Onherfacecannot help butshows the complexlook, in the middle ofthisstudy roomandmemoryexactly the same, in the glassdisplay windows of thesecabinetsis also puttingevery large or smallgreystone tablet.
她脸上不由得露出复杂的神色来,这间书房与记忆当中一模一样,那些柜子的玻璃橱窗里面还放着大大小小的灰色的石片。So manyyearspassed by, shedoes not understandactually the one's ownfatheris seeking forwhat, could it be thatin his eyes, these are stone tabletsoreally important?
这么多年过去了,她还是不明白自己的父亲究竟在找寻什么,难道在他眼中,那些石片真有那么重要么?Heis an adventurer, ashis daughter, shecanunderstand the one's ownfatherregarding the deep love of thisenterprise;Sheevencanunderstandthatmanregardingherandmotherthatdeeplove, whatmatterbuthehad unable tothemto say?
他是一个冒险家,作为他的女儿,她能够理解自己的父亲对于这一事业的热爱;她甚至能够明白那个男人对于她和母亲那种深沉的爱,可是他有什么事情是不能对她们说的呢?After mother leaves the worldthata period of time, shewas ponderingalwaysthisissue, until met with Brando.
在母亲离世之后的那一段时间,她无时无刻不在思考这个问题,直到与布兰多相遇。
The father is not only the Seifer Familysuccessor, isEarth Sword SaintKnightandstudent, thisis a howprominentstatus, buthehas not toldher and mother.
父亲不仅仅是西法赫家族的传人,更是大地剑圣的骑士与学生,这是一个多么显赫的身份啊,可他却从来没有告诉过她和母亲。Why?
为什么呢?Butsuch being the case, why must byoneselfbe understooddestiny that a Sifahclanshoulders?
可既然如此,又为什么要让自己明白西法赫一族所背负的命运呢?Without the plantold itselfalltruth, thatmade itselfwork asnaiveyoung noblewomanignorant, was not better?
既然没有打算告诉自己一切的真相,那就让自己懵懵懂懂地当个天真的贵族小姐,不更好么?
The tearsdo not know when blurred the field of vision.
泪水不知什么时候模糊了视野。Miss Adviseroncethinksoneselfalreadyenoughstrong, even iffacingmanywill not easily burst into tears again, but the pastmemoryimmersedinheart, has not fadedbecause of the time, insteadeven morewas profoundly defined.幕僚小姐曾以为自己早已足够坚强,纵使面对再多也不会再轻易流泪,但过去的记忆沉浸在心底,并没有因为时间而褪色,反而愈加明晰深刻。Shetreadsforwardonestep, hopes that canclosely examine the answer of thisissuepersonally.
她向前踏出一步,多么希望可以亲口追问出这个问题的答案。Buttimesobrutal, makesallchancelessunexpectedly.
可时间是如此的无情,竟让一切都毫无机会。Viscount Nelsonstation.内松子爵站了起来。„Pamid, wemustgo into action.”
“帕米德,我们必须行动起来了。”Knightpondered the moment: „Have youaskedheropinion?”骑士沉思了片刻:“你问过她的意见了吗?”Viscount Nelsonshakes the head: „Icould not findher, since adoptingthatbaby girl, sheleft the royal family, Ido not know that shedoes haveGolan-Elsen, butmarshalSirhad passed away for twoyears, even ifknowsanything, lost the clue.”内松子爵摇了摇头:“我找不到她,自从领养了那个女婴之后她就离开了王室,我不知道她有没有去过戈兰—埃尔森,但是元帅大人已经过世两年了,纵使知道什么,也失去了线索。”„Ihave askedScott, buthedoes not know the circumstances of the matter, grandson who Ido not dareto look formarshalSir, in order to avoidtakes awayto trouble——old fellowtohim, althoughmarshalSiralreadynot, butthisdid not representourquest / missionto end, youmuststillremember that weinall that in the Alkeshundergroundillusionsaw.”
“我问过斯科特,但他也不知情,我不敢去找元帅大人的孙子,以免给他带去麻烦——老伙计,元帅大人虽然已经不在了,但这不代表我们任务终结了,你应当还记得我们在阿尔卡什地下幻境中见到的一切。”„Wemustpreventaboveoraclesfrom happening, this time, wemustdo.”
“我们必须阻止上面的预言发生,这一次,我们得自己干。”Knightsilentlynodded: „But does your wifedaughter, theyknow the circumstances of the matter?”骑士默默地点了点头:“但你的妻子女儿呢,她们知情吗?”Viscount Nelsonwas silent, on the facereveals the obvioushesitation.内松子爵沉默了,脸上露出明显的犹豫。„Youdo thisare to them unfair.”
“你这样做对她们来说不公平。”Viscountshakes the head: „Pamid, youunderstandmatter that wedo, thisthere is nofairly...... ourcompanionone after anotherto leave, butwealsohere, not?”子爵摇了摇头:“帕米德,你明白我们所干的事情,这本来就没有什么公平可言……我们的同伴一个个离开了,但我们还在这里,不是么?”Hisslightlysighed: „Iindeedlovethemvery much, but if Ido not do, thisis not the love, shirks the responsibility. As a husband, a father, Ihave the reasonto protecttheir——inmyone's ownway. Ihave complied withSadie, youstillremember that inI the wedding ringwill giveherat that moment, Imustfulfill the one's ownpromise.”
他微微叹了一口气:“我的确很爱她们,可若我不去做,这不是爱,是逃避责任。作为一个丈夫,一个父亲,我有理由去保护她们——以我自己的方式。我答应过赛迪,你还记得吗,在我将结婚戒指交给她那一刻起,我就必须践行自己的诺言。”Knightvisitshim.骑士看着他。Viscount Nelsonbreathed in: „LikemarshalSirregarding, we who wereposemustmake the decision, Pamid, do youunderstand?”内松子爵吸了一口气:“如同元帅大人对于我们所寄托的,我们必须作出决定,帕米德,你明白吗?”„Imusttomy daughter, give the world that she to leave behind a hope.”
“我要给我的女儿,给她所在的世界留下一个希望。”„Even ifpays with the lifefor this reason.”
“哪怕为此付出生命。”
......
……‚Iindeedlovethemvery much, but if Ido not do, thisis not the love, shirks the responsibility.’
‘我的确很爱她们,可若我不去做,这不是爱,是逃避责任。’‚Imusttomy daughter, give the world that she to leave behind a hope.’
‘我要给我的女儿,给她所在的世界留下一个希望。’‚Even ifpays with the lifefor this reason.’
‘哪怕为此付出生命。’In the cloud layeris reverberatingsuchsound.
云层上回荡着这样的声音。InBruglas, oneachstreetallresidentsstopped the work, looksamazedinexplicablyto the sky.
在布拉格斯,每一条街道上所有的居民都停下了工作,惊诧莫名地看向天空。Inthem some arelivein the native of squirrelavenue, since once the friends and neighbors——thesepeople of Amandinawhole familylivedin the three years have almost not hadanychange, althoughAouineexperienced, butto them, canembarrassedgotothereon the embarrassedlifeagain?
他们中的有一些是居住在灰鼠大街的当地人,曾经还是安蒂缇娜一家人的左邻右舍——这些人这三年以来生活几乎没有发生任何变化,虽然埃鲁因经历了许多,但对于他们来说,原本就窘迫的生活又能再困窘到那里去呢?Althoughregarding the squirrelavenue, somepeoplecame, somepeoplewalked, the richpersonmovesin the secondwargoes to the north, but the down and outperson can only continueto defend against a siegeabove the street that thisnarrowsobsoletely.
虽然对于灰鼠大街来说,有些人来了,有些人走了,有钱的人在第二次战争中就搬去北方,而穷困潦倒的人只能继续困守于这条陈旧逼仄的街道之上。Butmany of themstillremember that oncelivedinthis'sthatstatusandtheirdifferentfamily of three.
但他们中的很多人还记得曾经居住于此的那一家身份与他们迥异的一家三口。„Thatis notViscount NelsonandMissAmandinavoice, IheardViscount Nelsonmanyyears ago was missing, his daughterseveralyears ago alsoleftBruglas.”
“那不是内松子爵和安蒂缇娜小姐的声音吗,我听说内松子爵好些年前就失踪了,他女儿几年前也离开了布拉格斯。”„MissAmandinabutnow the prospect, Iheard that shemarriedCount of Radnor.”
“安蒂缇娜小姐现在可是出息了,我听说她嫁给了让德内尔伯爵。”„That may be unable to reach an agreement, now the Aouinesituationis so chaotic, southfinger/refersuncertainhow, reallyhopes that Mother MarshacanblessHer Highness the Eldest Princess.”
“那可说不好,现在埃鲁因局势这么乱,南方指不定会怎么样呢,真希望玛莎大人能保佑长公主殿下。”„Yeah, said that is really pitiful, theironeis a good person, inloosenLord Viscount, althoughisnoble, maytreat people the friendlypointnot to have the rack......”
“哎,说起来真是可怜,他们一家都是好人,内松子爵大人虽然是贵族,可待人和气一点也没有架子……”„Thisway of the world, the good personis always hapless.”
“这个世道,好人总是倒霉。”„Whodidn't say?”
“谁说不是呢?”„But that voice of spacewhat's the matter, wasn't Viscount Nelsonmissing for manyyears?”
“可天上的那个声音是怎么回事,内松子爵不是失踪了好些年了吗?”„Youseethatray of light, thatisKurk, did the north sidehave an accident?”
“你们看到那道光,那是库尔克吧,北边出什么事了?”Peoplediscuss spiritedly.
人们议论纷纷。But after no onehas noticed the crowd, kuāng dāng, Cripplelet slipto drop the saber in handunexpectedly, butheas ifdid not haveto think,onlylooks at the deep blueskypale.
但谁也没有注意到人群之后,哐当一声,一个跛子竟失手落下了手中的佩剑,但他对此似乎毫无所觉,只脸色苍白地看着湛蓝的天空。In the silverbay, youngWizardstandson the hill, whatever the strong windsare swayinghislong hair——
在银湾,年轻的法师站在山丘之上,任由狂风吹拂着他的长发——Wizardlistens attentively to the sound that twowere once familiar with, whendoes not know, has had tears streaming down the faceunexpectedly.法师倾听着那两个曾经所熟悉的声音,不知什么时候,竟已泪流满面。„Did youachieve?”
“你们做到了吗?”„Mycompanion.”
“我的同伴。”Amandinaas ifsaw the night of thatsummerinabsent-mindedonce again.安蒂缇娜在恍惚之中仿佛又一次看到了那个夏日的夜晚。That night the witchback seatwas especially sparkingin the southernhorizon.
那一夜巫后座在南方的天际格外闪亮。
The starsreflectin the water surface, calmlyflowswith the Bruglasrivertogether......
繁星倒映在水面,与布拉格斯河一起静静流淌……Viscount Nelsonlooks that the one's owndaughterreturns to the room, sighed, turns head——all the sounds of natureto havestaticBruglas, at nighthas shonelights, the distant placeisBouniePanDadao, Area noblejust like the sparkcommonray, as if the starscrashedin the ground.内松子爵看着自己的女儿回到屋子里,叹了一口气,回过头去——万籁具静的布拉格斯,黑夜中已经亮起一盏盏灯火,远处是布尼潘大道,贵族犹如星火一般的光芒,仿佛繁星坠落在了地面上。In the room in distant place, the orangewarmrayis showingfrom the window, in the window the sketch of family of three, the husband and wife, the father and daughter, the happy talks and laughtersas ifseparate the riverto transmit, appearingwarmandreal.
远处的一间屋中,橘黄的温暖光芒正从窗户之中透出,窗内一家三口的剪影,丈夫与妻子,父亲与女儿,欢声笑语似乎隔河传来,显得温馨而真实。Hesupported the kneeto stand, took up a shovelfrom the corner, dug up a gulfunder the chestnut tree of not far away, laynear the pit, buried a boxcautiously.
他撑着膝盖站了起来,从墙角拿起一柄铁锹,在不远处的栗子树下挖开一个深坑,趴在坑边,小心翼翼地将一个盒子埋了下去。Completesall these, Viscount Nelsonwipes away sweatto set out.
做完这一切,内松子爵才擦擦汗直起身来。Hegazed at the newearth under tree, in the eyewas being full of the gentlelook: „Anne, is unfair to...... the hopeone day, youbecause ofwill not hateme.”
他注视着树下的新土,眼中充满了温柔的神色:“安妮,对不起……希望有一天,你不会因为而怨恨我。”„Myextravagant demandswill not obtainyourforgiving, butinthisworldhas something, wemustcomplete.”
“我不会奢求得到你们的原谅,但这个世界上有一些事情,我们必须去完成。”„It is not only responsibility that because the bloodlines of Seifer Familyhavetothiskingdom, whatis more important, oursidehasis worth the person who uses the lifeto protect.”
“它不仅仅是因为西法赫家族的血脉对这个王国所负有的责任,更加重要的是,我们身边有许多值得我们用生命去保护的人。”„Someday, my daughter, youwill also run intosuch a person.”
“或许有一天,我的女儿,你也会遇到那样一个人。”Hetakes off the necklacefrom the chest frontslowly, in the mouthchants in a low voice saying:
他缓缓从胸前摘下项链,口中低吟道:„ForAouine, Mother Marsha, pleaseblessme——thisis the finalhope.”
“为了埃鲁因,玛莎大人,请保佑我吧——这是最后的希望。”Looks atthis, Amandinahas choked with sobs.
看着这一幕,安蒂缇娜早已泣不成声。Bruglas, a squirrelpersonavenuesilence.布拉格斯,灰鼠人大街一片寂静。No oneunderstands that thismeansanything.
没有人明白这一幕意味着什么。ButregardingBrando, threeyears ago that in Buccemountain roadForbidden Garden, actuallyuntil nowstillat present.
但对于布兰多来说,三年之前布契山道禁果园中的那一幕,却至今犹在眼前。Thatis a father, a husband, a hero, the silentskeletonis unable to tellpassingallforhim, buton the parchment of thatdecency, actuallyrecords the sinceresentiment.
那是一位父亲,一个丈夫,一名英雄,无声的骸骨无法为他讲述过往的一切,可那风化的羊皮纸上,却记载着再真挚不过的感情。Was bornintwo people of differenttime, at that moment the destinyeach otherconnects, theirvisionare unable to span the life and death, but the ideal and faithactually can still transmit.
生于不同时代的两人,那一刻命运彼此交汇,他们的目光无法跨越生死,但理想与信念却仍能传递。Freyais biting the lipsilently.芙蕾雅默默地咬着嘴唇。
The mirageis happening to change——
幻景正在发生变化——Itabove the sky, will be the pastunknownstorypresentsin front ofeveryone.
它在天空之上,将属于过去不为人知的故事呈现在每一个人面前。Peoplesaw with one's own eyesViscount Nelsonto fulfill the one's owncommitment.
人们亲眼看到内松子爵履行了自己的承诺。HesneaksTree Shepherd's, attainedthatgreystone tablet, but is actually Poisonous Insect ThaneYardedetects the status. In the finalmoment, the KnightPamidrejectionlifewas the one's owncompanionspread outpath—— of lastregulation
他潜入牧树人的内部,拿到了那枚灰色石片,但却为蛊虫领主马亚德察觉出身份。在最后的关头,骑士帕米德舍弃生命为自己的同伴铺上了最后一程的道路——

漫长的追与逃之后,布兰多看到了那个自己所熟悉的地方。Inthatmountain valleybasin, is not just Golden Demonic Treeis at?

而在洞穴之中。Thatis trembling the father, wrotein the middle of the lifelastletter/believeswith the featherpenon the parchment:
那位哆嗦着的父亲,用羽毛笔在羊皮纸上写下了自己人生当中的最后一封信:‚Martha above, I may be dying, ifIdied......’
‘玛莎在上,我可能将不久于人世,若我身故……’Amandinacovered the mouth.安蒂缇娜捂住了嘴。Shestillrememberssituationof that day.
她至今还记得那一天的情形。In the narrow and smalldimroom, resounded the sound of knocking on a doorsincerely, whenshesees the face of thatyoungsterby the crack in a door, the destinyalsochangessince then.
狭小昏暗的房间之中,笃笃响起了敲门的声音,当她透过门缝看到那个年轻人的脸时,命运从此也为之而改变。Butsheremembersclearly how at that timeBrandowashands overinherhandthatletter/believes.

The word on thatletter/believesinmemorysoclear, imitatedsuch asyesterday's——
那封信上的字词在记忆中是如此的清晰,仿如昨日——

大颗大颗的泪珠,沿着女孩的脸颊,滚落入尘埃之中。InVaundemanyareas.
在沃恩德的许多地区。Peoplestopped the footsteps, is gazing atthis momentsilently.
人们停下了脚步,默默地注视着这一刻。Theynoticed that Viscount Nelsonexhausts the finalstrengthto take upthatpiece of greystone tablet, placesabove the parchment. Heas ifalsowantsto write downanything, butin the bluegreypupil, the ray of lifeis goingpale, the featherpenfallsfromhishandfinally, fallsto roll intoamong the crushed stones.
他们看到内松子爵用尽最后的力气拿起那片灰色的石片,放在羊皮纸之上。他似乎还想写下一些什么,但蓝灰色的眸子中,生命的光芒正在淡去,羽毛笔终于从他手中滑落,落下滚入碎石之间。Thatisending of hero.
那是一位英雄的落幕。Intencities, manypeoplebend the waisttothissalute, althoughtheycannotunderstandtrulythismanprotectedanything, but where regardless, herois always honourable.
在十城,许多人都弯腰向这一幕行礼,虽然他们不能真正地明白这个男人守护了什么,但无论在哪里,勇敢者总是值得尊敬。Veronicatakes back the line of sightslowly, lookstoMephisto.维罗妮卡慢慢收回视线,看向身边的梅菲斯特。„Ihave seen the daughter of thisman,”Grey Sword Saintreplied: „Sheis very outstanding, has not disappointedher father.”

人类昔日的英雄,炎之王吉尔特注视着床榻边自己的骑士们——他忽然回忆起了自己人生当中最辉煌的时刻,但更多的是沉甸甸的责任。Butin the end of life, heremembers the deep placeappears, was still thatwas actually hardto dismiss from mindscene.
但在生命的尽头,他记忆深处所浮现的,却仍旧是那难以忘怀的一幕。Hedoes not knowoneselfhow long the dreamin the dreamhas not arrived there......
他不知道自己已经多久没有在梦中梦到那里了……ThatchangedtheirlifetimeundergroundHoly Cathedral.
那座改变了他们一生的地下圣殿。Indarkness.
黑暗之中。Four Sagesis gazing atHoly Cathedralstone wall, onthesebigstone wall, is drawing upall kinds ofdesignswith the unusualpattern.四位贤者注视着圣殿的石壁,那些高大的石壁上,用奇特的花纹绘制着各式各样的图案。

火把的光芒摇曳着。Screens a giantaltar, above the obsidianplatform, inclearamberdeep sleep a baby girl of human.
映出一座巨大的祭坛,黑曜石的平台之上,晶莹的琥珀中沉睡着一个人类的女婴。„Whatit seems likeOdinsaidisreal,”Aerlantais staring at the patterns on thesestone wall, „onthisisarchaism, isGod raceslanguage——Azure Spearhas not killedDragon of Twilight, the seventhwar could arrivequickly.”
“看来奥丁说的是真的,”艾尔兰塔凝视着那些石壁上的花纹,“这上面是诺芬古语,是神民们的语言——天青之枪并没有杀死黄昏之龙,第七次战争可能很快就要到来了。”„Did wemake the mistake?”Faanzansaidloudly: „Weoverthrew the Miirnian'srule, whatthat do wealsotaketo resistDragon of Twilightnow?”
“那我们岂不是做错了?”法恩赞大声地说道:“我们推翻了敏尔人的统治,那现在我们又拿什么来对抗黄昏之龙呢?”„Shut up, Faanzan,”youngster of golden hair, in the deep blueeyeis glittering the ray of wisdom, Holy SwordOrdefeissinhishandsplendid;Hesaidtoallcompanions: „Miirnianis decayed, theirnobleindulgein the passingmagnificence, what can a Odinpersonchange?

“闭嘴,法恩赞,”一头金发的年轻人,湛蓝的眼睛中闪烁着睿智的光芒,圣剑奥德菲斯在他的手上熠熠生辉;他对所有的同伴们说道:“敏尔人已经腐朽了,他们的贵族沉溺于过往的辉煌之中,奥丁一个人又能改变什么呢?他选中了我们,就是不愿意看着这个世界的希望一点点缓慢地死去,我们既然已经继承了这个命运,就必须勇敢地走下去。”„IsupportGaetel,”youngSaersdid not havesoto be afterward maturewithalwayssaid,on the elven girlfacehas the pureandfirmcolor: „Elder SisterAerlanta, what do youhavefromabovesee?”
“我支持吉尔特,”年轻的圣奥索尔还没有后来那样成熟与老道,精灵少女脸上带着单纯与坚定的色彩:“艾尔兰塔姐姐,你有从上面看出什么吗?”
The landsagesturn head, nodded: „Gaetelsaidright, we have the opportunity.”
大地贤者回过头来,点了点头:“吉尔特说得对,我们还有机会。”Althoughthatopportunity, soillusory.
虽然那个机会,是如此的虚无缥缈。
The old personlifted the fingertremblingly, aimsperson who oneselfmosttrust, thatonceproudyoungster, the Flaming Knightseat of honor, at the presentsimilarly is also graduallyold. The time is so indifferentandbrutal, oncecreated a king in empire, nowcould not have saida few words.
老人颤颤巍巍地抬起了手指,指向自己最信任的人,那个曾经骄傲的年轻人,炎眷骑士的首席,而今同样也是垂垂老矣。时间是如此的冷漠与无情,曾经创造了一个帝国的王,如今却已经说不出一句话来。Butsinceheis shiveringin the middle ofmovement, oldKnighthad understoodall.
但从他颤抖着的动作当中,苍老的骑士已经明白了一切。Thatis the tacit understandingfor two centuries, no longerneedsto give unnecessary detailwith the language.
那是两个世纪以来的默契,不再需要用语言来赘述。Hisseriouslynodded.
他郑重地点了点头。On that day, the radishradishyoung ladyarrived at the deadfrostdeep woods, butCrystal Stagwitnessedin the grandnighttime sky, fell from the sky, butmeteor.
那一天,萝萝小姐来到了死霜森林深处,而一头水晶牡鹿见证了壮丽的夜空中,一颗殒落而过的流星。Inthatlater130years, a namedAouine'scountryestablished.
在那之后一百三十年,一个名为埃鲁因的国家建立了。

但他们的国王,先君埃克却独自一人离开了众人的视线。他来到那个沉静的湖边,另一个人正在湖边的岩石上安静地等待他的到来。First King EichtlooksKnight that oneselfmosttrust.先君埃克看着自己最信任的骑士。„Youdecided that Grunwald,”heopened the mouth saying: „After this, youwill lose the one's ownstatus, loses the one's ownglory, evenis the life, you may becomethesethings that during the lifemosthate, fettersforever in this sword the one's owndestinytogether, can not be peaceful.”
“你决定好了吗,瓦尔德,”他开口道:“从此之后,你会失去自己的身份,失去自己的荣耀,甚至是生命,你可能会成为自己一生当中最痛恨的那些东西,将自己的命运永远与这把剑束缚在一起,不得安宁。”„Untilone day, whenmydescendantdo not matchobtains this approval of sword, itwill come here, calmlywaits foritsactualmaster.”
“直到有一天,当我的后人们不配得到这把剑的认可时,它会来到这里,静静等待它真正的主人。”Knightstoodsilently.骑士默默地站了起来。Had not repliedunnecessarily.

“达鲁斯,我……”
The seriousmanshakes the head: „Does not needto be worried aboutthis, firsthas a look on stone wallto writeanything.”
一脸严肃的男人摇了摇头:“不用担心这个,先看看石壁上写着什么。”
The Her Highness the PrincessnamedGwendolyncourt ladyvisitstwo peoplelooking pensive, opens the mouthto reply: „ThatisFennoarchaism, the God raceslanguage, Ihad happen to understoodin an ancient booklinguistry that thiswitchesmasters.”公主殿下身边名为格温多琳的女官若有所思看着两人,开口答道:“那是芬诺古语,神民的语言,我正好在一本典籍上了解过这种女巫们掌握的语言知识。”„Content?”
“内容呢?”„Dragon of Twilightsoonwake up, as long as the personstillleft leeway the hope.”
“黄昏之龙即将苏醒,但凡人仍旧留有希望。”„Dragon of Twilight?”Darushas turned head: „In other wordswea moment agointhese that in the miragesawreal?”
“黄昏之龙?”达鲁斯回过头:“也就是说我们刚才在幻景之中看到的那些都是真的?”„Sir, we outside thesemonsters, namedCrystalline,”Gwendolynreplied: „Youalsosawtheirstrength, butthatisin the Crystallineethnic group one of the mostnegligible. Theyin the monster that in the Vaundeoriginalcreaturefoundationforms, buttrueCrystalline, arrivespowerfulcannot imagine, not to mention the crystalclan is just notTwilightone.”
“大人,我们在外面遇到的那些怪物,名叫晶簇,”格温多琳回答道:“你也看到了它们的实力,但那不过是晶簇族群中最微末的一支。它们只是在沃恩德原生物的基础上形成的怪物,而真正的晶簇,强大到不可想象,更不用说晶族本身也不只不过是黄昏种的一支而已。”„IfthereforeDragon of Twilighthas not diedin the hand of Azure Knight, thenstages a comebackis the inevitablematter. Itslackeyis found ineachworld in chaos, oncetheyflood intoourworld, thendestroysallsufficiently.”
“所以如果黄昏之龙并没有死在天青骑士的手上,那么卷土重来不过是必然的事情。它的爪牙遍布混沌之中的各个世界,一旦它们涌入我们的世界,便足以毁灭一切。”„Thensuch being the case, the hope of mortalwhere?”
“那么既然如此,凡人的希望又在哪里?”Gwendolynshows a faint smile.格温多琳微微一笑。„Perhapshere, perhapsinAouine——”

这个时候的内松子爵,仿佛仍旧对自己未来的命运仍毫无所查。Knightlooks at the one's owncompanion.骑士看着自己的同伴。„Youstillremember that weinthatoracles that Alkeshsees, Pamid?”
