AfterAnnanholdsBenjamin, obviouslyfeltBenjaminwas more silent.
在安南把本杰明扶起来之后,明显感觉到本杰明沉默了很多。Alsocould bewas calmer?
或者,也有可能是冷静了许多?Picks up the lamp, Benjamincontinuesto drawAnnanto proceed. Buthehas not actually looked for the topicagain, butfinds the roadwith single-hearted devotion.
捡起灯来,本杰明继续拉着安南往前走。但他却没有再找话题,只是专心找路。What...... Benjaminthisdiscovered?
……本杰明这是发现了什么吗?Moststartsobviously, heandEvelynspokesimplyhas not stopped......
明明最开始,他与伊芙琳说话根本没停过……Althoughlooks likeinAnnan, topicunusualembarrassed that thischildlooks for- hediscussed the Dead Souls AlliancefortresstoEvelyn, the enthusiasm that said that likechats the new-stylearmy equipmentto chat a afternoonwith the girlfriend who the artlived the family backgroundsame......
虽然在安南看来,这孩子找的话题非常的尬-他对伊芙琳谈论死灵同盟的堡垒,说的兴致勃勃,就如同和艺术生出身的女朋友聊新式军用装备聊了一下午一样……Alsodoes not know how trueEvelynwill respond.
也不知道真正的伊芙琳会如何回应。Maintains the smile, peacefulis listening?
就这么保持微笑,安静的听着吗?„......?”
“……咦?”Benjaminmade the sound of doubts: „Howthisis opening......”本杰明发出了疑惑的声音:“这门怎么开着……”Hisprevioustimecomesheretime, hereis closingprobably......?
他上次来这里的时候,这里好像是关着的……?„...... How?”
“……怎么了?”InAnnanheartslightlyonetight, sendsto askin a soft voice: „Where is this?”安南心中微微一紧,轻声发问道:“这是哪里?”Hehas noticed, in front ofthemwas„birthpoint that”moststarted, wasthat„prison”.
他已经注意到,他们前面就是自己最开始的“出生点”,也就是那个“监狱”。„Iremember that this...... the teacherhas said.”
“我记得这个……老师讲过。”Benjaminknits the browsslightly, diligentlyrecalling: „Thisseems like...... deposits the corpse the place.”本杰明微微皱眉,努力回忆着:“这好像是……存放尸体的地方。”„...... Corpse?”
“……尸体?”Annanwas startled.安南怔住了。Isn't the prison?
不是监狱吗?Asking that Benjaminun, somewhatworried about: „Do youfear? Feared that does not look.”本杰明嗯了一声,有些担忧的问道:“你怕吗?怕就不看了。”„...... Inwill have the corpse?”
“……里面还会有尸体吗?”„Surelydoes not have.”
“肯定没有。”Benjaminreplied: „Silver Noblechurch/teachhas cleaned uponetime.”本杰明答道:“银爵教会已经清理过一次了。”„That...... I want to take a look.”
“那……我想看看。”Annanmade very lightsound.安南发出了很轻的声音。Benjaminsilent a meeting, gripped the hand of Annanto tightenseveralpoints.本杰明沉默了一会,握住安南的手又紧了几分。„Good.”
“好。”YoungsterBenjaminbriefreplying.
少年本杰明简短的答道。HebroughtAnnanto arrive at„prison”, liftedgreen firechandelier in hand.
他带着安南走到了“监狱”之中,抬起手中的绿火吊灯。Untilthis time, Annanfinallyclearsaw„prison”internalenvironment-
直到这时,安南才终于清晰的看到了“监狱”内部的环境-Thisis a similarpublicbathhouse, moststartsto imaginecompared withAnnanmustgreatlya lot ofpublicspaces.
这是一个类似公共澡堂的,比安南最开始想象中要大很多的公共空间。Going to the room of glyph, the middleoncecarvedcompletely the low wall of engraved inscription, nowaboveengraved inscriptionalreadybypersonviolencecrosses outwith the sword. Low wallonly then more than onemeterhigh, justreaches the halfaltitude of room.
在回字形的房间内部,中间是曾经刻满了铭文的矮墙,如今上面的铭文已经被人暴力的用剑划掉。矮墙只有一米多高,刚好达到房间的一半高度。Butregarding the middlelow wall, the positionmore than every two meters, the chainsbringssomewhatfamiliar„handcuff”hangs. Inentireroom, more than 20such„chainsmatcheshandcuff”facility.
而围绕着中间的矮墙,每隔两米多的位置,就有一根锁链带着有些熟悉的“手铐”垂下来。整个房间内,大约有二十多条这样的“锁链配手铐”的设施。Annanmoststartsto be, merelytogaterecentthat„position”.安南最开始所在的,仅仅只是离门最近的那个“位置”而已。„What...... is this?”
“……这是什么?”Annansubconscioussendsto ask.安南下意识的发问道。Benjaminalsoindeedknows that thisisanything.本杰明也的确知道这是什么。„Do youknowHalf-Departed Daughter?”
“你知道半亡之女吗?”Benjaminrepliedin a low voice: „ The Pallid Princesspriests, are not the living person......, butthey, althoughis the pastor, butinPallid Tide, actuallywithouttheirpositions.本杰明低声答道:“苍白公主的祭司们,都不是活人……而她们虽然是牧师,但在苍白之潮的时候,却没有她们的位置。„Becausetheyare the living, is the dead;Alsonon-living, notDeadPallid Tide, onlyacceptsjoining of dead. Iftheywantto participate inPallid Tide, can only firstfixedlyhere.”
“因为她们即是生者,也是死者;既非生者,亦非死者-苍白之潮,只接受死者的加入。她们如果想要参与苍白之潮,就只能先将自己固定在这里。”Benjaminis saying, subconsciousarrivingtogaterecentthatshackles, beatby that shackles of Evelynwrist/skillin the dream.本杰明说着,下意识的走到离门最近的那个镣铐,也就是在梦中拷住了伊芙琳手腕的那个镣铐旁。Heis pointing atthisshackles, toAnnan- orEvelyn, is careful, actually the somewhatabsent-mindedexplanation: „ Theybeatoneselfneckor the wrist/skillhere, thenrelease the soul- teacherhas said that Half-Departed Daughtercanownsoulexsomatize. Butiftheyleave the bodytime is too long, could not go back...... themagainno longerisHalf-Departed Daughter, butwas the homelessghost.
他指着这个镣铐,对安南-或者说“伊芙琳”,非常仔细、却又有些心不在焉的解释道:“她们会将自己的脖子或是手腕拷在这里,然后再将灵魂释放出去-老师说过,半亡之女是可以将自己的灵魂离体而出的。但她们如果离开自己身体时间太久,就再也回不去了……她们就不再是半亡之女,而是无家可归的幽魂了。
„ Howeveryoulooked that...... herehas the slightblade. Ifthisiron hoopwithstands the heavy pressure, over time, thisbladewill gradually puncture, andmakesthemfeel the even moreintensepain.
“而你看……这里有细微的刀刃。如果这个铁环承受重压、随着时间流逝,这个刀刃就会逐渐刺出,并让她们感觉到越发强烈的痛苦。„Half-Departed Daughterfeelsownbodyeven moreintensepain, will not yearn forinPallid Tide, butreturns toownbodyimmediately. The bodyis the family/home of soul.”
“半亡之女感受到自己身体越发强烈的痛苦,就不会留恋于苍白之潮,而是即时返回自己的躯体。身体就是灵魂的家。”„...... It looks like the desk clock?”
“……就像是座钟吗?”
The Annaninquirysaid.安南提问道。Heknows that thistime, hasdesk clock that canfixed time.
他知道这个时代,已经有能定时的座钟了。Benjaminnods: „Right. Actuallyisthattype, canfixed timesome timetiming indicator...... Itoyouhave looked atthat! The probablyordinarypocket watchwill not such walk, butcanaccuratefixed time, after openingloosens, will flow backwards, by0:00timewill exudeone that ding- it is saidTransmutation Sorcererhavethisthing, toletexperiment...... wú, sorry.”本杰明点了点头:“对。其实就是那种,能定时一段时间的定时表……我给你看过的那个!不会像是普通的怀表那样走,但可以精准定时,开启松开之后就会倒流,到0点0分的时候就会发出叮的一声-据说转化巫师们都有这个东西,是为了让实验……唔,抱歉。”Realizedoneselfalsochattedis chattingchanging the subject , the Benjaminthread of conversationis stopping suddenly.
意识到自己又聊着聊着跑了题,本杰明的话头戛然而止。ButAnnanobtainsveryessentialinformation-
但安南却已经得到了非常关键的情报-ToHalf-Departed Daughter, is the body...... the family/home of soul?
对半亡之女来说,身体是……灵魂的家?Heremembersimmediately, oneselfMain Quest of the world indream.
他立刻想起了,自己在梦中世界的主线任务。Going home......
回家……Thatflash, the Annanpupilshrinksslightly.
那一瞬间,安南瞳孔微微一缩。In the dreamin the world, Annanin the inverted imagefrom the lakewill hear the singing sound that puts upside down.
梦中世界里,安南会从湖中倒影里听到倒放的歌声。Each time after the death, oneselfwill return to the realityfrom the dream.
每次死亡之后,自己就会从梦中回到现实。Mission requirementsEvelynmustmaintain the limbsto be completein the dream.
任务要求“伊芙琳”必须在梦中保持肢体完整。Completesto offer sacrificesthisduty, mustbe ableto completein the reality.
完成献祭这个任务,偏偏要在现实中才能完成。And......
以及……Pallid Princessis calledUnfettered Woman, herpastors- is also Half-Departed Daughter, cannotfall in love withanybody.苍白公主又被称为无绊之女,她的牧师们-也就是半亡之女,是不能爱上任何人的。Andincludingthem.
其中包括她们自己。
...... NaturallyalsoincludesBenjamin.
……自然也包括本杰明。Annanlooked atBenjaminsubconsciously.安南下意识的看了一眼本杰明。Hewas probably clear.
他大概明白了。Evelynhad possibly diedsome time, inthatso-calleddream...... shouldbe the Half-Departed Daughtersoulexsomatize, but, seenchurchessence.
“伊芙琳”可能已经死去一段时间了,那个所谓的梦中……应该就是半亡之女的灵魂离体而出后,看到的教堂本质。
The average peopleseePallid Tidetime, will immediately run backin the roomto get sickgreatly, not to mentionwill be the infatuatedgeneralshort distancelooked that Pallid PrincessdancedEvelyn of entire journey.
普通人只是见到一次苍白之潮,马上跑回屋中都会大病一场,更不用说是痴迷一般近距离看完了苍白公主舞蹈全程的伊芙琳了。Perhapsshehad diedat that time.
她当时恐怕就已经死去了。Butobviously, Pallid Princesstoherpuresoulinterested.
但显然,苍白公主对她的纯洁灵魂是有兴趣的。„Elle”movessome timesame...... EvelynpossiblyisPallid Princess„Elle”likeBone Dukecanmakedeadagain. PresentEvelyn, half is Half-Departed Daughter. Thereforeshecanhear the undeadsound, thereforesheonce for a whilefaintingandwill enteranotherworldin the dream......
就如同骸骨公能让已经死去的“艾蕾”再活动一段时间一样……“伊芙琳”可能就是苍白公主的“艾蕾”。如今的伊芙琳,已经有一半是半亡之女了。所以她才能听到亡灵的声音、所以她才会时不时的晕厥、在梦中进入另外一个世界……To Evelyn, thisis„foreknowledgedream”.
对伊芙琳来说,这属于“预知梦”。Butshedoes not seein the future, butentered„truePallid Chapel”by the soulcondition!
但她并不是看到了未来,而是以灵魂状态进入了“真正的苍白教堂”!Therefore, shebroke open„prisongate”in the soulworld, will makethatdoor in real world also big.
所以,她在灵魂世界中砸开了“监狱门”,也会让现实世界中的那扇门也随之大开。Entrancethatdropping downsoldierstatue, possibly is also becauseindream„David”reason that itsviolencemoves things out of the way-
门口那个倒下的士兵雕像,可能也是因为梦中的“大卫”把它暴力搬开的缘故-EvelynmakesBenjaminaccompany itselfto comePallid Chapelsuddenly, perhapsisbecause, herTransmutationisHalf-Departed Daughterritual, mustcomplete the laststepbyBenjamin.
伊芙琳突然让本杰明陪自己来苍白教堂,恐怕就是因为,她转化为半亡之女的仪式,必须由本杰明来完成最后一步。Evelynfalls into, to fallfrom the staircaseto the water, perhapsisbecause, sheat the rejectionthismatter of instinct- shehopes that Benjamincanleavehere.
“伊芙琳”又是跌入到水中、又是从楼梯上摔下,或许就是因为,她在本能的拒绝这件事-她希望本杰明能离开这里。
But if Benjaminreallyleaveshere, sheis unable the rebirthto becomeHalf-Departed Daughter- is unable to followthat„the dancer under moon/month” , dead aftergoing homethoroughly.
可如果本杰明真的离开这里,她就无法重生成半亡之女-无法追随那“月下的舞者”、也会在回家之后彻底死亡。Whythisis, the duty that in the realityAnnanreceivesis„cannotgo home”!
这就是为什么,现实中安南接到的任务是“不能回家”!Becauseshe, ifgives upoffering sacrificesritual, shewill losecare of Pallid Princess, to change into the corpse.
因为她如果放弃献祭仪式,她就会失去苍白公主的眷顾、化为尸体。ThispossiblyisEvelyn'soriginalresult.
这可能才是伊芙琳原本的结局。Ifsheis really lovingBenjamin, byhercanby the puremind that Pallid Princessfocuses attention on, giving upwill not makeBenjamincut offownheadpersonally.
如果她真的爱着本杰明的话,以她能被苍白公主所瞩目的纯净心灵,想必不会舍得让本杰明亲自砍下自己的头。Therefore, Main Quest that Annanobtains, actuallyrefers to„nextMain Quest”.
所以,安南得到的主线任务,其实指的是“下一个主线任务”。Heshouldalsoto experienceagainseveraltimes„the dreamlandworld”, canbe letfinallyheleaves the nightmare- „true”Main Quest!
他应该还要再经历几次“梦境世界”,才能得到最后让他离开噩梦的-“真正的”主线任务!
...... Such being the case, was only left over an issue.
……既然如此,就只剩下一个问题了。Thisis, whosenightmare?
这到底是,谁的噩梦?
