Claudiaonlyfeels the whole bodyto feel cold, something sheis not even willingto ponder, butpanic-strickenuncontrolledbesidesbody of shivering, herthought...... the thoughtrevolvesuncontrolled.
克劳迪娅只感觉浑身发冷,有些事情她甚至不愿意去细想,但是惊恐中不受控制的除了颤抖的身体之外,还有她的思想……思想不受控制地运转起来。HowHigh Priestknows that ownname- shehad not disclosedto anyone in city of Sunownreal name, evenEburne, stillmistakenly recognizedherforPrincessRanerfrom the beginning.大祭司怎么会知道自己的名字-她从来没有向太阳之城中的任何一个人透露过自己的真实姓名,即使是伊本,一开始也是错认了她为雅曼拉娜公主。Therefore, in the city of Sun, canknow that hername, only hastwotheoretically...... Otto, as well asSchoolmateLuo Qiu.
因此,在太阳之城内,能够知道她名字的,理论上只有两个……奥托,以及洛邱同学。Ottoinherhas been caughtat presentbyHigh Priest, as forSchoolmateLuo Qiu the condition of losing contact......, underpressing for an answer of High Priest, Ottoallthings, is actually to come from the matter of city of outsideworldSunincludingthemuntil nowalso......
奥托已经在她的眼前被大祭司抓去,至于洛邱同学至今还是失联的状态……难道说,在大祭司的逼问之下,奥托已经将所有的事情,包括他们其实是来自太阳之城外边世界的事情也……
...... It is not this, actuallyanotherpossibility!
不……不是这样,其实还有另外一个可能!Shedoes not wantto believesubconsciously, possibility that even the instinctdoes not wantto try to prove- frontHigh Priest, withownfatherProfessorXie Jiatu, is the sameperson!
一个她下意识不想要去相信,甚至本能地不想去求证的可能-面前的这个大祭司,和自己的父亲谢嘉图教授,是同一个人!Thisevencanexplainvery muchwith easemanythings- the divine tool that for examplePrincessRanerhas...... thatclearlyis the firearms that outsidehumanmakes, isownfatherProfessorXie Jiatubrings the city of thisSun, andgavePrincessRanerit, claimed that is the true Godgrants.
这样甚至能够很轻松就解释许多事情-比如说雅曼拉娜公主持有的神器……那分明就是外边人类制造出来的枪械,是自己的父亲谢嘉图教授带来这个太阳之城的,并且将它交给了雅曼拉娜公主,声称是真神赐予。For example, whywith the Alyeasameperson, the namehereis calledEburne, insteadisHigh Priest, no matter outside here, is using the samename.
比如,为何与阿里亚一样的人,在这里的名字叫做伊本,反而是大祭司,不管在外边还是在这里,都用着相同的名字。Even...... this momentHigh Priestdisclosedone that letsfeeling that Claudiaexceptionallyis familiar with- earlytime, sheplansto sneak offfrombanquetgarretquietly, first time time of meetingHigh Priest, because of the emergence of thisfeeling, will makeherjump into hisbosomwithout hesitation.
甚至……此刻大祭司所透露出来的一种,让克劳迪娅异常熟悉的感觉-较早的时候,她悄悄地从宴会的阁楼处打算溜走,第一次碰见大祭司的时候,就是因为这种感觉的出现,才会让她毫不犹豫地扑入他的怀中。„Whoyou... are you?”
“你…你到底是谁?”
The innumerablequestionsappearinClaudia'sbrain- presentman, isrealHigh Priest, High Priest that the giant beastdisguises as, oris...... trueProfessorXie Jiatu.
无数的疑问在克劳迪娅的脑中浮现-眼前的这个男人,到底是真的大祭司,还是巨兽假扮的大祭司,又或者是……真正的谢嘉图教授。High Priestsaidat this timeindifferently: „Claudia, you do not believeme.”大祭司此时淡然说道:“克劳迪娅,你难道不相信我吗。”„Believes......”
“相信……”Claudiaonlyfelt that murkyfeelingraidsagain, exceptionallyheavy...... hereyelidclosed upgradually, finallyat presentoneblack, lost the consciousnessthoroughly.
克劳迪娅只感觉那种昏昏沉沉的感觉再次袭来,异常沉重……她眼皮渐渐地合拢了起来,最终眼前一黑,彻底失去了意识。Herbody also drops down- has not fallen to the ground, before then before High Priestwalks, onestep, supportedherbodysteadily.
她的身体也随之倒下-并没有落地,在这之前大祭司走前了一步,稳稳地扶住了她的身体。„Iam calledXie Jiatu.”High PriestsaidnearClaudia'searat this timein a low voice: „No matterwhere, mystatusalsoonly hasone......”
“我叫做谢嘉图。”大祭司此时在克劳迪娅的耳边低声说道:“不管在什么地方,我的身份也只有一个……”HeheldonClaudia the bed, broughtthatjaragain, thenpoured into the liquid in jarhermouthslowly.
他将克劳迪娅扶到了床上,再次取来了那壶子,然后缓缓地将壶子中的液体灌入了她的口中。Soon, High Priestleftprincess'sresting palace, preparesto return to the temple.
不久之后,大祭司离开了公主的寝宫,准备返回神庙。„Tonight, in the pastis longer.”High Prieststopssuddenly, is staring atmoon above nighttime sky.
“今晚,比往常的漫长许多。”大祭司忽然停下,凝视着夜空之上的月亮。Partnergroup of whiterobeguards of go forwardto sayat this time: „Perhapssoonapproachedat night the reason of longestday.”
身边伴行的白袍卫士此时上前道:“或许是快要临近黑夜最长之日的缘故。”High Priestsaidat this timesuddenly: „At night the longestdayarrived...... was the day of godextinguishing.”大祭司此时却冷不丁说道:“黑夜最长之日到来时……便是神灭之日。”
The whiterobeguardapproaches, naturallyhears the words that in the clearHigh Priestmouthreceives, immediately the complexionchanges, perhapsstartledandlooks at the man of frontthisblack robe...... on the forehead, unknowinglystillemitted the closebeads of sweat.
白袍卫士临近,自然是听得清楚大祭司口中所受的话,顿时脸色微变,又惊又恐地看着面前这一身黑袍的男人……额头上,不知不觉依然冒出了细密的汗珠。„Cracks a joke.”High Priestlooked atoneat will, quitesomewhataccidental/surprisedneverproperassay/way: „After allinentireSun City, only thenIcanplaythisjoke......, ifIdid not say how you can hear?”
“开个玩笑而已。”大祭司随意地看了一眼,颇有些让人意外的老不正经似的道:“毕竟整个太阳城内,也就只有我才能开这种玩笑了……要是连我也不说,你们怎能听得见?”„Big... High Priest?” The whiterobeguardonlyfelt that the backalsostartsto sendto be coolat this moment.
“大…大祭司?”白袍卫士只感觉就连后背此刻也开始发凉起来。High Priestactuallyshakes the head, crosses the hands behind the backto go, he of black robe, quickthen the darknesswith before daybreakmeltsfor a body.大祭司却摇摇头,负手而去,一身黑袍的他,很快便与黎明前的黑暗融为了一体。

……Eburnemidwayactuallyhasto sober, butdiscoveredoneselfwere being towed the advancebythatterrifyingfellowunexpectedly, frightenedto faintinstantaneously.
伊本中途其实是有清醒过来的,但发现自己居然被那恐怖的家伙拖着前进,瞬间又吓晕了过去。Therefore, hisat this time the second time waswoke up...... the nerveto adapt to a pointcurrentfearslightly.
所以,他这时候是第二次醒来……神经自是稍稍适应了一点当下的恐惧。All aroundisstonesteps/house the wall, is not dim, evenalsoexceptionallybright...... fromflame, the flame of oil lamp! A giantshadow, inEburneabove the wall after position, postswithEburneat this time.
四周是石砌的墙壁,并不昏暗,甚至还异常的明亮……来自火光,油灯的火光!一道巨大的影子,此时就在伊本所在位置后的墙壁之上,与伊本并列。Helooks at the giantshadow on wallpanic-stricken, the neckbecamestiffgot up...... heto nip the fingerimmediately, movedownline of sightlittle, finallysaw the source of thisgiantshadow!
他惊恐地看着墙壁上的巨大影子,脖子不禁变得僵硬了起来……他顿时咬着手指,一点点地移动自己的视线,终于是看见了这巨大影子的来源!Originatesfrom the illumination of flame- will bethatwill tow the terrifyingfellow in thisplaceimpressively!
来源于火光的照射-赫然是那个将自己拖来这个地方的恐怖家伙!Eburne can only look at the back of clearopposite party...... itsbackfullis the roughgreygrows hair! Eburnepledged, since hehas had the memorynot to bump intoanythinghasthishair!
伊本只能看得清楚对方的背影……它的背满是粗糙的灰色长毛!伊本发誓,他有记忆以来都没有碰到过什么是拥有这种毛发的!Itis turning away fromEburne, seemed like eating anything...... itssideto putonepile of scattered in disordergraybones- looked the appearance that the corruptions of theseboneswere different, speculatedthisterrifyingthing, seemed likeinthisplace, and has some time.
它正背对着伊本,似乎是正在吃着什么东西……它的旁边更是放了一堆散乱的灰色骨头-看这些骨头的腐败程度不尽相同的模样,推测这恐怖的东西,似乎是住在这个地方,而且已经有了一段时间。
Are these...... the bones of person?
这些……难道都是人的骨头?Eburne'stoothcannot bearstartto shiver, heswallowed a saliva, whilethisterrifyingthingat the back ofoneselfeats food the time, crawlsto set outquietly, movesownfootsteps, towardthatseems like that is the gateplacewalks.
伊本的牙齿也忍不住开始颤抖起来,他咽了口口水,趁着这恐怖的东西背着自己正在进食的时候,悄悄地爬起身来,挪动自己的脚步,朝那看似是门的地方走去。Walkedtwosteps, Eburne then has a liking foroneanxiously, seesthisterrifyingfellowstillto eat food, has not cared about itselfjust nowto relaxsecretly, continuesto go forwardquietly.
走了两步,伊本便又担惊受怕地回头看上一眼,见这恐怖的家伙还在进食,没有在意自己方才暗自松口气,又继续悄悄地前进。Several, finally the gate of thatexit|to speakis so close at hand, Eburnein the heartcould not beareven morebe anxious...... heto reach the gate the hand, preparedto shove openon the gate, thenranrecklessly- hedid not wantto degenerate intothismonsterfood.
如此几番,终于那出口的门近在眼前,伊本心中忍不住越发的紧张起来……他将手伸向了门,准备就门推开,然后就不顾一切地跑-他可不想要沦为这只怪物的食物。Butin the meantime!
可就在此时!Bang-!
嘭-!
The sound of anything rapwallrememberssuddenly, Eburneonestartled, the instinctheld the pillowheadto squaton the ground, yelledpanic-stricken: „Do not eatme! It is not deliciousI! MymyI... Ihave not solvedbellyinsidethingtoday! I... Ireallyreallyreally not delicious-!”
什么东西敲击墙壁的声音骤然想起,伊本一惊,本能地抱枕脑袋蹲在了地上,惊恐地大叫了起来:“不要吃我!千万不好吃我!我我我…我今天还没有解决肚子里面的东西!我…我真真真不好吃的啊-!”gigglegiggle......咯咯咯咯……Seemed to be anything to rollEburne'sunder foot, heopened eyeslooked,wasonehas not clearly gnawedabove the bone of flesh...... to look at the appearanceseemed like the leg boneand so on part!
似有什么东西滚到了伊本的脚下,他睁眼一看,分明就是一根还没有啃完上面血肉的骨头……看模样像是腿骨之类的部分!Eburneimmediatelyboth eyesoneblack, the terrifyingfellow who the appearance that mustfaintshortly, thatwhole bodygreygrows hairactuallystoodsuddenly.
伊本顿时双眼一黑,眼看着就又要昏过去的模样,那浑身灰色长毛的恐怖家伙却突然站了起来。„Thistimeyourestagain, Iconsidered that ateyou.”
“这次你再睡过去,我就考虑一下将你吃掉好了。”„............ Do not eat...... eats?”Eburnefirstisentirelieson the ground, is begging for mercypanic-stricken, butactuallyraised the headat this timesuddenly- hasn't hemisunderstood?
“别……别别……千万不要吃……吃?”伊本先是整个儿地趴在地上,惊恐地求饶着,可此时却猛然抬起头来-他没听错?
Can thisterrifyingfellow, speakunexpectedly?
这恐怖的家伙,居然能够说话?Sees only the opposite partyto walkat this timeslowly, Eburnestaredin a big way the eye, the bodycould not supportto shiver......, but the appearance of opposite partygraduallywas clear- hesaw clearly the appearance of opposite partyfinally!
只见对方此时缓缓走来,伊本瞪大了眼睛,身体架不住颤抖起来……但对方的模样却渐渐清晰起来-他终于是看清楚了对方的模样!Whole bodygreygrows hair...... threw overin the fur/superficial knowledge of not well-knownbeasts- thisfellowobviouslyis a person!
浑身灰色的长毛……原来只是披在身上的不知名兽类的皮毛而已-这家伙明显是一个人!Is throwing over the animal skin, the headwears the fellow of mask the strangebeastsskullcreates- the skullmasks of thisbeasts, makingthisfellowseeminglyappearterrifyingvery...... particularlyunder the dimenvironment!
一个披着兽皮,头上戴着奇异兽类头骨造成的面具的家伙-这兽类的头骨面具,让这家伙看起来显得十分的恐怖……尤其是在昏暗的环境之下!„You... you?”Eburneopened the opens the mouth, afterknowing the opposite partyis a person, relaxes, whole bodystrengthdrainedsat down exhausted, inground- hispalmaccording toabovebone that inthatrolled.
“你…你?”伊本张了张口,在得知了对方是人之后,不禁松了口气,浑身力气似抽干了般瘫坐了在地上-他手掌按在了那滚来的骨头之上。Eburnetook upto looksubconsciously, discovered that thisplayedis not the human bones...... seems like the ox bones.
伊本下意识拿起看了一下,发现这玩儿也不是什么人骨……似乎是牛骨。
The opposite partyhave not spoken, butsits downinEburne'sfrontdirectly...... wears the animal skinto wearhim of beastskullseems likecompared withEburnewantstall and strong, the constrictionmakes that Eburnerelaxesslightlyall of a suddenintense.
对方没有说话,只是直接在伊本的面前坐下……身披着兽皮头戴兽头骨的他看起来比伊本要魁梧许多,压迫感还是让伊本稍稍放松的心情一下子就又变得紧张起来。Some little time.
好一会儿。„This... thisbrothers?”Eburneexploringlyto the opposite partyopens the mouth: „How... howto call?”
“这…这位兄弟?”伊本试探性地向对方开口:“怎…怎么称呼?”„Night watchman.”Hesaidsuddenly a name, „youcalledmyname, the night watchman.”
“守夜人。”他冷不丁地说了一个名字,“你就叫我的名字,守夜人吧。”„Night watchman?”Eburnesubconsciouslynods, has a look atall aroundrandomly, is pointing atall around: „Here... is here?”
“守夜人?”伊本下意识地点点头,随机看看四周,指着四周:“这里…这里是?”
The attitude of thisnight watchmanmakesEburnesomewhatnot tracecertainly, buthishearswordreturnsindifferentlysaid: „Hereis the basement in formerempressresting palace.”
这守夜人的态度让伊本有些摸不准,可他闻言还是淡然回道:“这里是前任皇后寝宫内的地下室。”„Formerempress?”Eburnewas startledto jumpall of a sudden, appearance that quitesomewhatfrightened, exaggeratingsay/way: „Here?”
“前皇后?”伊本一下子就惊得跳了起来,颇有些吓到的模样,夸张道:“这里?”
The night watchmenlooked athisoneeyesat will, not many responses.
守夜人只是随意地看了他一眼,并没有过多的反应。Eburnecalms down, to sit down, thought aloud: „Heard that formerempresswas the sudden death, the cause of deathstillno oneknows that...... hadmanyrumors, said that formerempresswas killed, after hersouldied, has stopped overin the place that onceJinlives in......”
伊本冷静下来,重新坐下,自言自语道:“听说前皇后是突然死亡的,死因至今都没有人知道……有许多的传言,说前皇后是被人害死的,她的灵魂死后就一直逗留在曾今居住的地方……”Saying, Eburnesized upin front ofonequietlythis【Outlandish clothes】 The night watchman, the subconsciousnesssaid: „The resting palace of formerempresswill present the terrifyingthing...... not, isn'tyou?”
说着,伊本又悄悄地打量了一眼面前这【奇装异服】的守夜人,下意识道:“都说前皇后的寝宫会出现恐怖的东西……不会,不会就是你吧?”„Formerlydoes not know.”Night watchmansaid indifferently: „The presentwords, probablywereI.”
“从前不知道。”守夜人淡然道:“现在的话,大概就是我了。”„who are you? Whymusthidehere, pretendsthisappearance, frightens the person in royal palace?”Eburneknits the browsto ask.
“你是谁?为什么要藏在这里,装作这个样子,吓唬王宫的人?”伊本不禁皱眉问道。Night watchmansaid indifferently: „Compared withthis, whyyoumustrush here...... the guard in your royal palace, does not know that hereis the restricted area, doesn't allowothersto come in?”
守夜人淡然道:“比起这个,你又为什么要闯进这里……你这王宫的侍卫,难道不知道这里是禁地,不允许别人进来?”Eburnedepends on the wallto saysmilingly: „Othersareothers, IamI, howto be the same? Brotheryou , to know, simple...... firsttoldmeyourorigin?”
伊本嬉皮笑脸地靠着墙道:“别人是别人,我是我,怎么一样?老兄你要想知道的话,简单……先告诉我你的来历?”
The night watchmenactuallyshake the head, „thatdo not say that...... insteadis staying here the timegrew, youwill not definitely be able to bear...... you who saidseem like, cannot defend the secrettype.”
守夜人却摇摇头,“那就不要说了吧……反正在这里呆着的时间长了,你肯定会忍不住说的……你看起来,是守不住秘密的类型。”You is a bigmouth...... meaning.
你丫就是个大嘴巴……的意思。Eburnethisis not glad, sneeredtwo, suddenlythenswoopssets out, „wait for mehas a look atyourlonganythingappearance...... the dress up as God, play the devilfellow! TodayUncleEburneteachesyouanythingto be called the master!”
伊本这就不乐意了,冷笑了两声,突然便飞扑起身,“等我看看你长什么样子……装神弄鬼的家伙!今日伊本大爷教你什么叫做爷!”
After threeseconds .
三秒之后。„Painthoroughly- forgives! The heroesforgive! Did Imake a mistake...... Ito make a mistakegood?”
“痛痛痛-饶命!英雄饶命!我错了……我错了好不好?”„It is not good!” The night watchmensneer.
“不好!”守夜人冷笑一声。This timehesatonEburne'sbodydirectly, carriedoneto link the meatconveniently, the bloodybonestartedto gnawone after another.
此时的他直接坐在了伊本的身上,随手就拎起了一根连着肉的,血淋淋的骨头开始一口一口地啃了起来。HowEburneknowsownsuchdregs, fewunder makes one solveon the ground...... this timewants to cry but have no tears, continuouslyto beg for mercy, finally the bigmouthsaidwhyoneselfwill come here around.
伊本怎知道自己这么渣,没几下就让人解决在地上……此时欲哭无泪,不住求饶,最后大嘴巴地说起来了自己为什么会来到这里的前后。„...... The matterwasthis.”Eburneboth handsopened the body, thenlooksdiligentlybehind the pressuresitsinoneselfnight watchman, „can friend...... do not sitonme?”
“……事情就是这样了。”伊本双手撑开了身子,努力地回头看着身后压坐在自己身上的守夜人,“老兄……能不能不要坐在我身上?”„Cannot.” The night watchmenthrow the bone that in the handgnawsconveniently, after tracing the bloodstain on mouth, askedindifferently: „Yousaid,besidesyou, threepeopleandyouinfiltrates the royal palacetogether, amongthemevenalsoexactly the same...... theirpeoplewithPrincessRaner?”
“不能。”守夜人将手中啃完的骨头随手一扔,摸了摸嘴上的血迹之后,才淡然问道:“你说,除了你之外,还有三个人和你一同混进王宫的,他们当中甚至还有一个和雅曼拉娜公主长得一模一样……他们人呢?”„Don't Imean?”HelplessEburnesaid: „Ido not know how on the stuporin the past, after waking up, to escapetothisplace...... Idid not know? Brother? Canfirstget up, mywaist?”
“我不是说了吗?”伊本无奈道:“我不知道怎么就昏迷了过去,醒来之后就一直逃到这个地方了……我不知道啊?老兄?能不能先起来,我的腰?”
The night watchmenhave not actually paid attention toEburnequackto randomly callat this time, thought aloud: „PrincessRaner?... Outside did somepeoplecome in?”
守夜人却没有理会伊本此时呱呱乱叫,却是自言自语了起来:“雅曼拉娜公主?难道…难道外边又有人进来了?”„Outside? Outsidewhat?”Eburnesaidsubconsciously: „Outsideroyal palace? Besidesusalsowho?”
“外边?什么外边?”伊本下意识道:“王宫外边吗?除了我们还有谁?”
The night watchmenpay no attention, stood updirectly the body, laterarrived atbasementcorner- herelid a giantarrange/cloth- night watchmanlifted the arrange/cloth, revealedinsidething.
守夜人不理,直接站起了身来,随后走到了地下室的角落处-这里盖着了一块巨大的布-守夜人将布掀开,露出了里面的东西。
Many things of herehead, Eburnehas not seen, hasonethingonly, heis taking a lookverylooks familiar- suddenly, Eburnetapsoneselfhead, calls out in alarmwas saying: „God... divine tool? You... do you have the divine tool?”
这里头的许多东西,伊本都从来没有见过,唯独有一样东西,他瞅着十分的眼熟-猛然,伊本一拍自己的脑袋,惊叫着说道:“神…神器?你…你也有神器?”kā chā-!咔嚓-!
The night watchmenactdeftly the divine tool in Eburnehand- blackpistolinstalled the clip.
守夜人动作麻利地将伊本手中的神器-黑色的手枪装上了子弹夹。„Brother, where are yousacred?”Eburneapproachesto come, askednervous.
“老兄,你到底是何方神圣?”伊本靠近而来,紧张兮兮地问道。
The night watchmenlooked athisoneeyes, directlyaimed atEburne...... to resisthisforehead the divine tool in hand- Eburnesubconsciouslyraisedboth hands, „old... friend, I... Ishould notask,should notask......”
守夜人看了他一眼,将手中的神器直接指向了伊本……抵住了他的额头-伊本下意识地就举起了双手来,“老…老兄,我…我不该问,不该问……”
The night watchmensaidsuddenly: „Eburneis right?”
守夜人却忽然说道:“伊本对吧?”Eburnenodssubconsciously, „pleasesay!”
伊本下意识点点头,“请说!”
The night watchmensaiddirectly: „Nowmakesa lot ofa lot ofmoney...... to haveoneto have the opportunity of great wealthto placein front ofyou, do youwant?”
守夜人直接说道:“现在有一个赚很多很多钱……有一个可以得到巨大财富的机会放在你面前,你想不想要?”„Great wealth?”As soon asEburnelistens, immediatelycame the spirit, evenforgotthatresistsfear that the divine tool of foreheadbrings, both eyesputs the ecliptic: „Whatthing?”
“巨大财富?”伊本一听,顿时来了精神,甚至忘记了那抵住自己额头的神器带来的恐惧似的,双眼放光道:“什么东西?”„Accompaniedmeto killHigh Priest.” The night watchmensneerto sayat this time.
“陪我去杀了大祭司。”守夜人此时冷笑说道。Eburneblinks...... faintedlaterdirectlyon the ground, motionlessappearance- night watchmanliftsto start not without making a sounddirectly, muststep onshortlytowardEburne'scrotchunder.
伊本眨了眨眼睛……随后直接昏倒了在地上,一动不动的样子-守夜人一声不吭地直接抬起脚来,朝着伊本的裆下眼看就要踩下。Eburnerolledhastilyone side, crawledflurriedly, the facesuch as the bitter melonsaid: Can the great wealth that „friend... yousaid have the lifeto enjoyis good...... killsHigh Priest? Was IinsaneI?”
伊本连忙滚到了一边,慌乱地爬了起来,脸如苦瓜道:“老兄…你说的巨大财富也要有命享受才行啊……去杀大祭司?我是疯了我?”„IfI said that so long asyoucansuccessfullykillHigh Priest, Ihave the meansto leadyouto leave the city of thisSun, even......”night watchmanat this timesaid solemnly: „Leavesthisdesert?”
“如果我说,只要你能成功杀死大祭司,我就有办法带着你离开这个太阳之城,甚至……”守夜人此时沉声道:“离开这片沙漠呢?”Eburne: „!!”
伊本:“!!”
