城堡中的侍卫见到老人后纷纷躬身行礼,口中问候道:„Mr.Bess!”
“奥贝斯老爷!”BessSt. Plossi, once was also a prominentname.
奥贝斯・圣普洛斯,曾经也是一个显赫的名字。Powerfulknight, prominentaristocrat, cannot undergodevastation of time.
只是再强大的骑士,再显赫的贵族,也经受不住时间的摧残。NowBessis old, face that in the Bailuforthehas not been familiar with, east the boundaryalsobecomeswithhimremembers that the completenesswas different.
如今奥贝斯已经老了,白露堡中已经没有他熟悉的面孔了,就连东境也变得与他记忆中的完全不一样了。Ifagainyoungten years old, if can also stand, Besssaid that anythingdoes not lookhelplessly the St. Plossifamilydegenerateduntil nowsituation.

已经有不少圣普洛斯家族骑士私底下来找过他,希望这位德高望重的圣普洛斯家族老人能够在这个危急时刻站出来掌控局面,不要让东境进一步地堕落下去。Buteachtime, Besspretends an agedmuddledappearance,
但每一次,奥贝斯都装作一副老迈糊涂的样子,Sendsthem.

埃克特奶声奶气的言语再一次刺痛了奥贝斯的心,他连表面上的微笑也不愿再维持,

小家伙哦了一声,随即又没心没肺地捡起短木剑,Trainedwithownsword techniqueteacheragain.

就关上门独自生闷气。Said that is the oldperson, moreislikesrecalling, actuallythatisbecauseinrecollection, theyare insufficientto be strandedinthissenilebody, canfindoriginallythathigh-spirited.
都说越是年老的人,越是喜欢回忆,其实那是因为在回忆里,他们才不至于被困于这具衰老的躯壳中,才能重新找到原先那个意气风发的自己。Bess'slookis gradually absent-minded, the visionloses the focal distancegradually, the familiarfacial featuresas ifwere once close at hand,
奥贝斯的眼神逐渐恍惚,目光渐渐失去焦距,一张张曾经熟悉的面容仿佛近在眼前,LetBessreturn to the youngtimeagain.
让奥贝斯再一次回到了年轻的时光。Nextsecond,
只是下一秒,
The facial featuresare framingat present, makingBessfrown.
有一张面容在眼前定格,让奥贝斯皱起了眉头。
„ DamnKurd,
“该死的库尔德,Yourthisbeing haunted by the ghostfellow! ” Besscannot bearcursemakes noise, but alsoput out a handto brandishseveral, might scatterthishatefulfacial features.
你这个阴魂不散的家伙!”奥贝斯忍不住咒骂出声,还伸手挥舞了几下,像是要将这张可恶的面容驱散。
„ MarquisBess,
“奥贝斯侯爵,Youwelcome the old friendlike this? ”
您就是这样欢迎老朋友的吗?”
The presentfacial featuresopened the mouthsuddenly, immediatelyfrightensBessheavily.
眼前的面容突然开口了,顿时将奥贝斯吓得不轻。Heblinks, pulled out the ear, thinksoneselfpresented the auditory hallucination, butfronthatefulsmilecan hardly be removed.
他眨了眨眼,又掏了掏耳朵,以为自己出现了幻听,但面前这张可恶的笑脸却怎么也挥之不去。Untilthis time,
直到这时,Bessdoes not dareto believerealized,whatin front ofoneselfis not an illusion, butis the livingold friend!
奥贝斯才不敢置信地意识到,自己面前的并不是幻觉,而是活生生的故人!„You...... are really you...... Kurd?”
“你……你真是……库尔德?”„Naturally. MarquisSir.”
“当然。侯爵大人。”„Is impossible! Is impossible!”Bessshakes the headto shoutfiercely, „youpossibly are so how young! Certainlyis the illusion, is the illusion, Ishouldrest, rested......”
“不可能!不可能!”奥贝斯猛地摇头嚷道,“你怎么可能这么年轻!一定是幻觉,是幻觉,我该休息了,休息了……”KurdWizardwith a smilebodyleans forward,库尔德法师笑着将身体前倾,
The whole piecefacedelivers tonearbyBess, mouthmiddle course:
整张脸都送到奥贝斯跟前,口中道:
„ Is the illusion,
“是不是幻觉,Yourselftrace. ”
你自己摸一摸嘛。”Besspants for breathrapidlyseveral,
奥贝斯急促地喘息几下,Cannot beareventuallyputs out a handtremblingly.
终究还是忍不住颤颤巍巍地伸出手。Whenhebumps intoKurdWizard, receive an electric shockshrinksimmediately, in the mouthrepeatsnervously„is being impossible, is impossible”.
但等他碰到库尔德法师时,又立刻触电般地缩了回来,口中神经质地重复着“不可能,不可能”。„Whyis impossible?”KurdWizardstood the body, on the facefullis the incomparablyproudfacial expression, „before , youdo not think the Saintknightisinvincible? Buthadn't been massacredoneby the estudent?”
“为什么不可能?”库尔德法师重新站直了身体,脸上满是无比自傲的神情,“以前你们不是认为圣骑士是无敌的吗?但还不是被莪的学生杀掉了一个?”„Yourstudent? You said that Mr. Wizard?”BessseesKurdWizardto nod, whatthisawakened, immediatelysays,„is it possible thatthis was also casting a spell that youresearched and developednewly? Whichcity did youoffer sacrifices?”
“你的学生?你是说,觋先生?”奥贝斯见库尔德法师点头,这才醒悟到了什么,立刻道,“莫非这也是你新研发的禁咒?你们又献祭了哪座城市?”KurdWizardshakes the head, said:库尔德法师摇摇头,道:„Before thisisIam very early, starts an experiment, buthas no need for the offering sacrificescity, onlyneeds a youngstrongheart.”
“这是我很早之前就开始进行的一个试验,不过用不着献祭城市,只需要一颗年轻强壮的心脏而已。”„Youngstrongheart......”Bessswallows the saliva, in the eyeglitters the hope that is unable to conceal, in the mouthactuallydisdains saying that „thatyoudo askmeto do? Comesto show offtome?”
“年轻强壮的心脏……”奥贝斯咽了咽口水,眼中闪烁着无法掩饰的渴望,口中却不屑道,“那你来找我干什么?来向我炫耀吗?”KurdWizardshows a faint smile, in the spoken languagehas the seduction of not being able saying:库尔德法师微微一笑,言语中带着说不出的诱惑:„Of course not. Icometo send out the invitationtoyou.”
“当然不是。我是来向你发出邀请的。”„Whatinvited?”
“什么邀请?”„Nowthisworld is really more and moresenseless, degeneratedmore and more.”KurdWizardstretches out the arms, probablyis making a publicspeaking, „is the timemakesourtheseold fogiesbe on the stage of game, drove away these youngandignorantclowns!”
“如今这个世界真是越来越无趣,越来越堕落了。”库尔德法师张开双臂,像是在做一场公开宣讲,“是时候让我们这些老家伙们重新登上游戏的舞台,赶走那些年轻而无知的小丑们了!”Bessonlythought that oneselfheartthump thumpjumps, butis maintaining the lastreason, askedcalmly:
奥贝斯只觉得自己的心脏怦怦直跳,但还是保持着最后一丝理智,冷静地问道:„Do not deceivemewiththisnonsense, do youactuallywantto do?”
“不要用这种鬼话糊弄我,你到底想干什么?”
The KurdWizardcorners of the mouthgo up, saidlightly:库尔德法师嘴角上翘,淡淡道:„Iwantto establish a new order!”
“我想重新建立一个新秩序!”Then, does not wait forBessto askagain,hehas turned around, drops outonelightly:
说完,也不等奥贝斯再问,他就转过身,淡淡地抛下一句:„MarquisBess, thinkswell. Thisiscasting a spell of feeling rejuvenated, moreovermyinvitationin view ofyour, does not giveyouonemonth, expireddoes not wait.”
“奥贝斯侯爵,好好想想吧。这可是返老还童的禁咒哦,而且我的邀请可不是针对你一个人的,给你一个月的时间,过期不候。”SeesKurdWizardas ifreally to walk, Bessis unable to maintainagaincalmly, urgentlyasked:
见库尔德法师似乎真的要走,奥贝斯再也无法保持冷静,急切地问道:„Wait! What do youwantmeto make?”
“等等!你要我做什么?”KurdWizardat the back of the body, on the faceshows a self-satisfiedsmile, does not return to the said/tunnel:库尔德法师背着身,脸上露出一个得意的微笑,头也不回地道:„Youmustmakemeseeyourvalue, otherwisesuchpreciouscasting a spell, howcanwastein a twirp.”
“你要让我看到你的价值,否则这么珍贵的禁咒,怎么能浪费在一个无用之人身上。”„Icancontrol the St. Plossifamily, so long asIwant......”
“我能掌控圣普洛斯家族,只要我愿意……”„Right? Thatshowed that lookstome.”
“是吗?那就证明给我看。”„Good! Youare waiting!”
“好!你等着!”Bessexclaimsto the back that KurdWizardvanishesgradually, thatinspiredappearance, whereseems like a being on the verge of deathold person.
奥贝斯冲着库尔德法师渐渐消失的背影吼道,那振奋的模样,哪里像是一位行将就木的老人。
