scale, I calculate that your kindness, then only needs to give me again nine scales, I give you my ten kindness completely. What's wrong?” 【“刚才的鳞片,我算你一个恩惠,接下来只需要再给我九枚鳞片,我就把我的十个恩惠全部给你。如何?”】 Full beard looks the hope, hopes that you continue to put out the scale. You choose......】 【大胡子面露期盼,希望你继续拿出鳞片。你选择……】 Mu You rejects certainly. 沐游当然拒绝。 This full beard is very astute, obviously looked on him also had the scale, but Mu You does not plan to put out too, these scales are also very precious to him, can trade a kindness let alone, on him altogether many, all delivered unable to trade many, collected 1000 points with such precious thing, the fool talent. 这大胡子挺精明的,明显看出来了他身上还有鳞片,不过沐游可不打算拿出太多,这些鳞片对他也很珍贵,更何况一枚才能换一点恩惠,他身上总共才多少枚,全送出去也换不了多少,用这么贵重的东西去凑一千点,傻子才干。 You inquired that the full beard does recognize unknown an herbal medicine master named Scythia?】 【你询问大胡子认不认识一位叫‘塞西亚’的草药师?】 Scythia, is the savage mother. 塞西亚,也就是野人穆罗的母亲。 Before coming luckily , the savage expected the situation in clan, therefore leaves a way out to him specially, mother is in the tribe the most outstanding herbal medicine master, by this position, but will lead him to see the head of the clan should not be difficult at the same time. 幸好来之前野人料到了族里的情况,所以特意给他留了后路,穆罗的母亲是部落里最优秀的草药师,以这种地位,只是带他去见一面族长应该不会太难。 Herbal medicine master? Scythia?” Full beard hears word knits the brows, recollection for a long time, shakes the head: Without such individual.” 【“草药师?塞西亚?”大胡子闻言皱眉,回忆许久,还是摇了摇头:“没有这么个人。”】 In tribe hasn't called Scythia?” Your some surprise, suspected that was remembered incorrectly mother's name?】 【“部落里没有叫塞西亚的?”你有些诧异,怀疑难道是穆罗记错了母亲的名字?】 Has Scythia, the language enhancement of ancients is not strong, naming often is picks these familiar names to bring to use, therefore the people in tribe toss about on that dozens names, but Scythia is a very common ancients name, tribe name is Scythia's person, does not have 1000 also 800, was very only difficult to find the person by the name.” 【“不是没有‘塞西亚’,先民的语言能力不强,取名往往都是捡那些熟悉的名字拿来就用,所以部落里的人翻来覆去就那几十个名字,而塞西亚是一个很常见的先民名字,部落里叫塞西亚的人,没有一千也有八百,单靠名字很难找到人。”】 As for the herbal medicine master, that is not the average person can work as, at present the entire tribe only then 12 herbal medicine masters, each I knew, has not called Scythia, this point I am certain.” The full beard said with certainty that said.】 【“至于草药师,那可不是一般人能当的,目前整个部落只有十二位草药师,每一个我都认识,其中没有叫塞西亚的,这一点我可以肯定。”大胡子言之凿凿的说。】 How can? 怎么会? The Mu You doubts, has mother left the world? 沐游疑惑,难道穆罗的母亲已经离世了? Fact that you informed full beard concerned.】 【你告知了大胡子有关穆罗的事迹。】 „More than 1000 years ago......” full beard flexure scratched the head, somewhat said awkwardly: Was too long, that time matter who can also remember, forgot early......” 【“一千多年前啊……”大胡子挠了挠头,有些尴尬道:“太久了,那时候的事情谁还能记得,早忘完了……”】 Mu You sighed, really cannot the memory to savage have the too high anticipation, traded human, happened for more than 1000 years ago with oneself irrelevant matter also this/should forgetting was similar, let alone savage. 沐游叹了口气,果然不能对野人的记忆力抱有太高的期待,换了人类,发生一千多年前和自身无关的事也都该忘的差不多了,更何况野人。 „The son is missing this matter, you can west the tribe stele forest looks, before many clansman missing, on the stele will have the record.” The full beard referred to a perhaps feasible path for you. Goes to stele forest?】 【“不过儿子失踪这种事,你可以部落西头的‘石碑林’中找一找,以前发生的很多族人失踪事件,石碑上都会有记录。”大胡子为你指了一条或许可行的道路。是否前往‘石碑林’?】 Yes.” “是。” This stele forest, is similar to a permanent memorandum probably, after all the savage has the forgetful problem mostly, some critical matter, likely will forget several days later cleanly, carves some important things in the stone, is to them convenient long-term information storage means. 这石碑林,大概就类似于一种永久备忘录,毕竟野人大都有健忘的毛病,一些很紧要的事情,很可能过几天就会忘得一干二净,把一些重要的事情刻在石头上,是对他们来说一种便捷的长期信息存储方式。 Saw that you turn around to leave, the full beard quickly keeps hold of you: You determined that doesn't need to trade my kindness? A scale calculates two kindness to you also! Otherwise three also lines......” 【看到你转身就要离开,大胡子急忙挽留你:“你确定不需要换我的恩惠吗?一枚鳞片给你算两个恩惠也可以啊!不然三个也行……”】 Does not need.” You beckon with the hand to turn down, in the vision of full beard hidden bitterness, left the blacksmith's shop firmly.】 【“不必了。”你摆手婉拒,在大胡子幽怨的目光中,坚定的离开了铁匠铺。】 You arrived at stele forest. In the front open area, over a thousand huge cuboid black crystal stone neat standing erect, just like giant tombstones, formed a woodland comprised of the stele.】 【你来到了‘石碑林’。前方的空地上,上千块巨大的长方体黑色晶石整齐的矗立,宛如一块块巨型墓碑,形成了一道由石碑组成的林地。】 You arrive at the stele forest front, discovered that each abstains from the stone, carved the chock full writing.】 【你走到碑林前方,发现每一块戒石上,都雕刻了满满当当的文字。】 Jassin underwent in 1742, when Eugenio's son Vega carried out patrol quest outside was missing, has not turned over.” 【“亚森历1742年,尤金尼奥之子维加在外执行巡逻任务时失踪,至今未归。”】 Jassin underwent in 1742, Bucks's daughter Dasha outside abstaining from the forest was missing, has not turned over.” 【“亚森历1742年,巴克斯之女达莎在戒林外失踪,至今未归。”】 Jassin underwent in 1741, Karel's son Litt outside abstaining from the forest is missing...... has not turned over to( lineation), has returned in March 1742.” 【“亚森历1741年,卡雷尔之子利特在戒林外失踪……至今未归(划线),已于1742年三月回归。”】 ...... …… The Mu You article looked at several steles, discovered record is almost the family member missing case of some children or, some looked, some have not retrieved. 沐游通篇看了几块石碑,发现记载的几乎都是某家子女或家人失踪的案例,有一些找回来了,有一些至今没找回。 These missing savage amicable Luo's situations were basically similar, go to abstain from the dense fog outside forest, because then the amnesia manifested suddenly, forgot road of going back, impatient, more ran in the dense fog is farther, finally lost the direction thoroughly. 这些失踪的野人基本都和穆罗的情况差不多,去了戒林外的迷雾里,然后因为健忘症发作,忘记了回去的路,心急之下,在迷雾里越跑越远,最后彻底迷失方向。 The savage who these look for finally is the luck to be good, roams about after outside veiled head some time, accidental/surprised and hit to abstain from the forest, or was found by the search team of going out, this can go home. 那些最后找回来的野人属于运气好,在外头蒙头流浪一段时间后,意外的又撞回了戒林中,或是被外出的搜索队伍找到,这才能回家。 These cases are too really many, several thousand steles, in each have over a hundred records, wants to look is completely not possible, is good because of these steles for the search, is strict distributes according to the time sequence. 这些案例实在太多,几千块石碑,每块上都有上百条记录,想全部看完根本不可能,好在这些石碑为了方便查找,是严格按照时间顺序排布的。 Mu You found stele 1300 to 1500 years ago directly. 沐游直接找到了距今1300年到1500年之间的石碑。 The recording density of this part obviously front was sparser, only used more than ten steles then to record the things between 200 years. 这部份的记录密度明显比前面的稀疏了许多,只用了十几块石碑便记载完了两百年间的事情。 Mu You reads these more than ten stele article. 沐游将这十几块石碑通篇看完。 What a pity, not found any or Scythia's record. 可惜,并没有在其中找到任何穆罗或塞西亚的记录。 Initially had not registered......” “当初没有登记么……” Not all missing cases will carve on the stele, only then the family member reported on own initiative, and after by the official confirmation was not the Uron, will come to carve the event by the special personnel on the stele. 并不是所有的失踪案例都会雕刻在石碑上,只有家人主动上报,并且被官方确认不是什么乌龙之后,才会由专门的人员来将事件雕刻在石碑上。 Here does not have the missing record, can only explain that initially his mother had not helped him report. 这里没有穆罗失踪的记录,只能说明当初他的母亲并没有帮他报案。 Looked at the stele, some Mu You also headaches. 看完石碑,沐游也有些头疼了。 On the stele has not recorded, herbal medicine master who could also not find named Scythia, then gives the subsequent hand who he prepares is the thorough interrupt. 石碑上没有记录,又找不到名为塞西亚的草药师,这下穆罗给他准备的后手算是彻底中断。 Really can start to accumulate the kindness from the beginning?” “难道真要从头开始攒恩惠?” Mu You knit the brows hesitant the moment, decided that first met two quest to have a look at the situation. 沐游皱眉犹豫了片刻,决定先去接两个任务看看情况。 Then Mu You controls the character to saunter in the savage tribe, runs into the savage before driving gathering up, inquired that the opposite party does have the matter that what need he does. 接下来沐游操控人物在野人部落中转悠起来,遇到野人就主动凑上前,询问对方有没有什么需要他做的事。 Wanted the kindness...... to break off the wrist/skill...... to win...... an upper limb was sturdy to you, looked is the savage of fitness enthusiast, heard your request, in high spirits initiated to you broke off the wrist/skill invitation. Whether on invitation?】 【“想要恩惠……掰手腕……赢了就给你……”一个上肢粗壮,一看就是健身爱好者的野人,听到你的要求,兴冲冲的向你发起了掰手腕邀请。是否应邀?】 No!” “否!” Mu You wants not to think elected otherwise, cracks a joke, breaks off the wrist/skill with the savage, he needs to be worried can't win, but how is own arm can not break off by the opposite party. 沐游想都不想的选了否,开玩笑,和野人掰手腕,他需要担心的不是能不能赢,而是自己的手臂如何能不被对方掰断。 【A black and blue savage blocked you, made excuses, gesticulated the half of the day to you, you understood his meaning finally: Another savage borrowed his money, but the opposite party forgot owes money this matter, he dunning opposite party does not recognize, instead his suddenly/violently to beat up.】 【一名鼻青脸肿的野人拦下了你,支支吾吾,向你比划了半天,你终于理解了他的意思:另一名野人借了他的钱,但对方忘记了欠钱这回事,他去讨债对方不认,反将他暴揍一顿。】 Therefore this savage hopes that you can go to ask for money for him, you choose......】 【于是这名野人希望你能代他去将钱讨回,你选择……】 Rejection.” “拒绝。” The Mu You heart said that is what ghost quest, oneself feared that duns to come under attack finds the person to come under attack for you. 沐游心说都是什么鬼任务,自己怕讨债挨打就找人代你挨打是吧。 Is good because of being not all quest such rare and beautiful flowers, is some seemingly normal quest. 好在不是所有任务都这么奇葩,还是有一些看起来正常的任务 【A savage woman blocks you , indicating own husband wants to participate this year's moon/month to offer a sacrifice to the grand ceremony, plunges into the moon pool as the live sacrificial offering, she does not endure to lose the husband, but because the enunciation is clumsy, does not know how should admonish, hopes that you can persuade, making her husband change an attitude.】 【一个野人妇女拦下你,表示自家丈夫想要参加今年的月祭大典,作为活祭品跳入月池,她不忍失去丈夫,但由于口齿笨拙,不知该如何规劝,希望你能代为劝说,让她丈夫回心转意。】 The moon/month offers a sacrifice to the grand ceremony, has also mentioned in Cummins's handbook, the savage tribe is held every year, to continue each time for seven days. 月祭大典,在卡明斯的手册中也提到过,野人部落每年举办一次,每次持续七天。 During the moon/month offers a sacrifice, center of Yuehu ‚the eye of moon/month will open, here ‚the eye of moon/month, is actually under a Yuehu cavern, it is said most deep place to Yuehu, is the lake water place of origin, the legend, if some people can since the eye of moon/month, and is living, then can obtain the inspiration of moon/month butterfly, becomes the child of moon/month sacrifice. 月祭期间,月湖的中心的‘月之眼’会开放,这里的‘月之眼’,其实是月湖底下的一个洞穴,据说通往月湖的最深处,是湖水的发源地,传说如果有人能进入月之眼并且活着出来,便能获得月蝶的启迪,成为月祭之子。 But until now except for late king, but also no one has achieved. 只不过至今除了先王,还没有任何人做到过。 The eye of moon/month usually is the closed state, only then on several days of moon/month sacrifice, the full moon raised every night will open the quarter of an hour, once had the living creature to enter Yuehu, the eye of moon/month will close ahead of time. 月之眼平时都是封闭状态,只有在月祭的那几天,每晚圆月升起的时候会开放一刻钟,而且一旦有活物进入月湖,月之眼就会提前闭合。 Therefore every year, most can only have seven savages to plunge into Yuehu as the live sacrificial offering, accepts the test of Yuehu. 所以每年,最多只能有七名野人作为活祭品跳入月湖,接受月湖的考验。 Regarding the ordinary savage, this is actually brings death, however cannot support to become the attraction of king of ancients is too big, knows perfectly well to bring death, every year still some lots of young savages struggled to rush to plunge into Yuehu, proves itself. 对于普通野人来说,这其实就是去送死,然而架不住成为先民之王的诱惑力太大,明知送死,每年仍有大量年轻野人争着抢着想要跳入月湖,证明自己。 Mu You could not understand, this type rather abandoned the family member, struggles that illusory unwarranted reputation approach, in his opinion was purely the meaningless sacrifice. 沐游是理解不了,这种宁愿抛弃家人,去争那一点虚无缥缈的虚名的做法,在他看来纯属毫无意义的牺牲。 But savage clan ignores atmosphere runs wild, it is estimated that after is the late king dies, too long not new king birth, child of they urgently needed one new moon/month sacrifice leads them. 而野人族之所以放任这种风气盛行,估计是先王死后,太久没有新的‘王’诞生,他们急需一个新的月祭之子来领导他们。 The savage clan population does not calculate too, but more than ten million have, every year only sacrificed seven young people, received exchange the opportunity that child of one month of sacrifice is born , from the race overall level, actually does not owe. 野人族人口不算太多,但上千万还是有的,每年只牺牲七个年轻人,来换取一个月祭之子诞生的机会,从种族整体的层面上看,其实并不亏。 Mu You sympathizes with this female savage very much, but this quest he has not met. 沐游很同情这个女野人,但这个任务他还是没接。 The stubborn degree of savage he has experienced many times, especially this hot blooded above young people, exchange with them difficultly, do not need to persuade them to turn head. 野人的固执程度他已经体验过很多次,尤其这种热血上头的年轻人,和他们交流都困难,更不用想劝说他们回头。 Even succeeded, the female savage still can only to him a kindness, undertake a thankless task, does not meet simply. 况且就算成功了,女野人也只能给他一点恩惠,费力不讨好,索性不接。 What Mu You wants to look is that convenience, can achieve fast, reward also high quest. 沐游想找的是那种省事,能快速达成,报酬还高的任务 Screened one, finally by him was discovered seems like also good. 筛选了一通,终于被他发现一个看起来还不错的。 Malchin is the resort to violence teacher of savage training battalion, is responsible for the professor savage children fighting, but recently his headache matter: In this year's training battalion, came a group of not too law-abiding children, they are always thinking to the breaking an abstinence forest going out wanderer, no matter how he persuaded, is unable to make these bear children have a change of heart.】 【马尔辛是野人训练营的武斗教师,负责教授野人孩子们战斗,但最近他有一桩头疼的事:今年的训练营里,来了一批不太安分的孩子,他们总想着离开戒林出去闯荡,不管他如何劝说,都无法让这些熊孩子收心。】 Malchin heard that you from abstaining from the forest rush, according to his experience, can come here bystander, generally is the outstanding person, therefore he hopes that you can help make a move to give these child lessons, making them realize the brutality of the world.】 【马尔辛听说你是从戒林外一路闯进来的,根据他的经验,能走到这里的外人,一般都已经是外界的佼佼者,所以他希望你能帮忙出手给这几个孩子一些教训,让他们意识到外界世界的残酷。】 quest: Fights with 23 savage children, every time defeats one person to obtain a kindness faith token.】 任务:与二十三名野人孩童对打,每战胜一人可获得一件恩惠信物。】 Accepts?】 【是否接受?】 Yes.” “是。” This quest is good, the difficulty is not high, the reward gives also generous, the key is time-consuming short, even if each child his two minutes, in addition over one hour cannot handle. 任务还算不错,难度不高,报酬给的也慷慨,关键是耗时短,每个小孩就算他两分钟,加起来也不会超过一个小时就能搞定。 Mu You receives decisively, as for can complete, he simply has not thought, he opens one to fight armor, has Eva to assist, the four ability approaching bodies of wind Qilin, how many kids but can also not can be victorious? 沐游果断接下,至于能否完成,他根本没多想,他好歹开着一身战甲来的,有艾娃辅助,还有风麒麟的四种能力傍身,还能打不过几个小屁孩? After one hour . 一小时后。 【...... You the shoulder had been fallen to turn by savage child one in the place, falls the dizziness brain bulge, the life sharp decline, the savage child returns safe and sound.】 【……你被野人孩童一个过肩摔摔翻在地,摔得头晕脑胀,生命锐减,野人孩童毫发无伤。】 You lost to the savage child once again.】 【你又一次输给了野人孩童。】 【Very regrettable, your successive defeats 23, cannot obtain the reward.】 【很遗憾,你连败了二十三场,未能获得报酬。】 23 children assemble in not far away, is the complexion strange looks at you, turn head has a look at Teacher Malchin again, eyeful doubts: Is this powerhouse? Such weak?】 【二十三个孩子围聚在不远处,都是脸色古怪的看着你,再回头看看马尔辛老师,满眼的疑惑:这就是外界的强者?这么弱?】 Malchin is covering the face, heaving a deep sigh that some do not endure to look straight ahead, seems to be regretting own decision.】 【马尔辛捂着脸,有些不忍直视的摇头叹息,似乎在后悔自己的决定。】 With your to the war, making these children strengthen determination that went to abstain from outside the forest the wanderer.】 【与你的对战,令这些孩子更加坚定了前往戒林外闯荡的决心。】 Mu You has not thought really the savage is so fierce the children, at this moment looks that is broken guarded by the text that one group of children despise at the scene. 沐游着实没想到野人连小孩子都这么猛,此刻看着被一群小孩鄙视的文本当场破防。 His, depends on the home advantage to bully the person? Has to plant outside to select only, my selects your one crowd! 丫的,靠着主场优势欺负人是吧?有种去外面单挑,我一个挑你们一群! You in the vision that several children sympathize with, dingy left the training battalion.】 【你在几个孩子同情的目光中,灰溜溜的离开了训练营。】 Continues to seek for other quest?】 【是否继续寻找其他任务?】 No.” “否。” Mu You gives up decisively. 沐游果断放弃。 He had determined after these quest completely, must accumulate enough 1000 kindness from the beginning, is too slow, is too difficult, he may not have this time. 经过这几个任务他已经完全确定,要从头攒够1000恩惠,太慢,也太难,他可没这个时间。 Then he prepares six edges, looks for no one's place, trying can sneak across seven with the hidden wind ability, no one helps him receive and instruct, he has to look for the head of the clan. 接下来他准备去六层边缘,找个没人的地方,试试能不能用隐风者能力偷渡进去七层,没人帮他接引,那他只好自己去找族长。 【...... You arrived at six peripheral zones.】 【……你来到了六层的边缘地带。】 【The seven entrances of front, lots of savage guards line up in formation the patrol. Seventh is savage clan and tribe the place of core, refusing any unidentified character to enter.】 【前方的七层入口处,大量野人卫兵列队巡逻。第七层是野人部族的核心之地,严禁任何不明人物进入。】 You hidden enter in the wind, bypasses the entrance quietly, arrives around mountain forest no one to locate.】 【你隐入风中,悄悄绕过入口,来到一旁的山林无人处。】 Until thoroughly was far away from the entrance, arrives at the jungle deep place, nearby your four careful examinations, after confirming no one, this prepared to cross the boundary, entered seven.】 【直至彻底远离了入口,来到丛林深处,你四下仔细查看,确认附近无人后,这才准备越过边界,进入七层。】 arrow towering shoots from the rear area, deeply inserts in the crystal stone of your front, end still vibrates.】 【一支箭矢突兀从后方射来,深深插入你前方的一块晶石中,尾端兀自震动。】 Jumping of your vigilance, quickly hides after nearby abstention wood, the careful use listens to the wind ability to nose outward, what a pity cannot find trail —— this arrow of any archery seems like from very far place shoots.】 【你警觉的跳起,急忙躲在附近的戒木后,小心的动用听风者能力朝外查探,可惜并未能找到任何射箭者的踪迹——这根箭似乎是从很远的地方射来的。】 Mu You looks that the continual text is very surprised. 沐游看着连续的文本很是惊讶。 What situation, is the savage so strong to the seventh protection effort? 什么情况,野人对第七层的防护力度这么强的? He had been careful as far as possible, finally was discovered...... 他已经尽量小心了,结果还是被人发现了…… Another arrow shoots, deeply inserts your flank in circular crystal stone a ten meters away, center the crystal stone center.】 【又一根箭矢射来,深深插入你侧方十米外的一块圆形晶石中,正中晶石中心。】 „......” “……” Consecutively two arrow, are center the crystal stone center, proved this person of archery is quite certainly excellent. 连续两根箭矢,都是正中晶石中心,证明了这人的箭术一定极为高超。 Mu You had understood, the person of this archery is well-meant to him, otherwise these two arrows will certainly fall on him. 沐游已经明白了,这个射箭的人对他没有恶意,否则这两箭一定会落在他身上。 This moment opposite party shoots the stone specially, moreover away he very far stone, does not seem like threatening him to leave......, where wants to direct him to go? 此刻对方专门射石头,而且是距他很远的石头,也不像是在威胁他离开……难道,是想指引他去什么地方? Mu You is not quite definite, but controlled the character to walk, facing the marksman of this rank, hid with does not hide has not distinguished. 沐游不太确定,但还是操控人物走了出去,面对这种等级的神箭手,躲与不躲没区别。 【Before you arrived at a moment ago by the crystal stone of hitting a target, drew out from the stone arrow.】 【你走到刚才被射中的晶石前,将箭矢从石中拔出。】 New arrow flies immediately, injected in your right front rock 20 meters away.】 【一根新的箭矢立即飞来,射入了你右前方20米外的一块岩石中。】 Really! The opposite party are using arrow to direct the direction to him, where wants to make him go. 果然!对方是在用箭矢给他指引方向,想引他去什么地方。 Mu You is somewhat strange, why the opposite party does not make an appearance directly, must show the way with such troublesome way to him, but followed arrow to walk at this time. 沐游有些奇怪,为什么对方不直接露面,非要用这么麻烦的方式给他指路,但此时还是跟着箭矢走了过去。 Whenever you found arrow, next arrow will then fly immediately.】 【每当你找到一根箭矢,下一根箭矢便会立即飞来。】 You follow the direction of arrow to lead the way, after going out of several kilometers, before you arrived at a stretch of broad open area .】 【你跟随箭矢的指引一路前行,走出数公里后,你来到了一片宽阔的空地前。】 On the front marsh land, giant abstention wooden straight standing erect, like a crane among chickens extending to sky , in this abstains from the wooden crown, as if built a construction of similar prison artificially.】 【前方的洼地上,一根巨型戒木笔直的矗立,鹤立鸡群般的延伸向天空,而在这根戒木的树冠上,似乎人为搭建了一间类似囚牢的建筑。】 You by listening to the ability of wind notice, last arrow, projected from that prison a moment ago.】 【你靠听风者的能力注意到,刚才最后一根箭矢,正是从那囚牢中射出的。】 Hiss......” “嘶……” The Mu You complexion is strange, here is ten thousand meters from the position great distance that he started quickly, was away from shoots arrows far, can have this type unexpectedly and might, what in this prison is closing was who?( This chapter ends) 沐游脸色古怪,这里距离他开始的位置相隔快有万米了,隔着这么远射箭,竟然还能有这种准度和威力,这囚牢里关着的是什么人?(本章完)
