The dim light of nightis deep, the bonfirebrings the lightfor the camp.
夜色深沉,篝火为营地带来光明。Once for a while, branchcombustionflip-flop the soundspreads, winds high above the heavenalong with the ignitionstar.
时不时的,树枝燃烧的噼啪声传出,伴随着点点火星飞绕上天。Thiscampis not firm, althougharranged the railingcarelessly, butusestooshort, the railing is also too short, slightlycannotobservefacing the defensive power of ferocious beastimpact. Mosttakes awaysomepsychologicalcomfortsto the Exploration Teammembers.
这处营地并不坚固,虽然草草布置了围栏,但用时太短,围栏也太矮,面对猛兽冲击的防御力微不可察。最多是给探索队的成员们带去一些心理安慰。
The truedefensive measure, distributeslarge number oftrapsaroundcamp.
真正的防御措施,是分布在营地周围的大量陷阱。Oncethere isferocious beastto attack, thesetrapscanconstitute the hindrance, andmakes the giantsound, in the persontocampwarned.
一旦有猛兽袭击过来,这些陷阱能够构成阻碍,并且制造巨大的响动,对营地中的人示警。Naturally, around the campalsoarranged the night watchman, providesanothersafeguard.
当然,营地四周还安排了守夜人,提供另一层保障。In those days, mostExploration Team, had gone offthis time, but the peopledid not have the sleepinesstonight.
往日里,这个时间大多数的探索队员,都早已睡去,但今夜众人都没有睡意。Manypeopleregardingby the bonfire, talked to each other.
许多人围绕在篝火旁,相互交谈。
The ability of relatedFlying Squirrelchieftain, as well asExploration Teamfaced with the foodshortdifficult position, thesenewsis known.
有关飞鼠头目的能力,以及探索队面临食物短缺的困境,这些消息都为人所知。„In this case, what to do should we?”
“这种情况下,我们该怎么办呢?”„Foodismost important! Withoutfood, does not needwhatmagic beast, wemuststarve to death. No oneexception, becauseno onecannot eat and drink.”
“食物是最重要的!没有食物,不需要什么魔兽,我们就都要饿死了。没有人例外,因为没有人能不吃不喝。”„Ithink that weshouldget rid oftheseFlying Squirrel, even the Flying Squirrelchieftainis very strong, butmostFlying Squirrelis onlyordinarywild beast.”
“我想我们应该干掉这些飞鼠,就算飞鼠头目很强,但绝大多数的飞鼠都只是普通野兽而已。”„Snort, youthinklike this,waits for death. So long as the Flying Squirrelchieftainbitesyourflesh, dischargedyou dead. The Flying Squirrelchieftainis even scarce, ourpeopleare not many, insufficientlyitkillsradically.”
“哼,你这样想,就等着死吧。只要飞鼠头目咬住你的血肉,一放电你就死了。飞鼠头目就算稀少,我们的人也不多,根本不够它杀的。”„Nowrecalls, is very fearful. Daytimetime, thatFlying SquirrelchieftainandIam away fromam aboutfivesteps, luckilyitdiedin the hand of Lord Zhen Jin.”
“现在回想一下,真的很可怕。白天的时候,那头飞鼠头目和我距离不过五步,幸亏它死在了针金大人的手中。”„Can the Flying Squirrelchieftainreallydischarge?”Alsosomepeoplewere skeptical.
“飞鼠头目真的能放电吗?”也有人表示怀疑。Butwhenheheard,thisisCang Xu the result of inference, no onehad doubtsagain.
但当他听说,这是苍须的推断的结果,就再没有人疑惑了。„Looking at it like this, was luckyLord Zhen Jin! If not forheas soon asstruckto kill the Flying Squirrelchieftain, we must wantdead person.”
“这样看来,还是多亏了针金大人!若不是他一击杀死了飞鼠头目,我们肯定得要死人。”„In my opinion, thisbeastgroupcannotbumpabsolutely. Perhapsthen, wecanbump intobetterfoodsource. Therefore, detours. Againperhaps, finding the large unitwas also good.”
“依我看,这种兽群绝对不能碰。或许接下来,我们能够碰到更好的食物来源。所以,还是绕道吧。再或许,找到大部队也好。”„, Yourideawas too naive. In the large unithas certainlyfood? Do not forget, our group of peoplewere sentby the large unit, peripheryexploration, whilesearches forfood!”
“呵,你的想法太天真了。大部队里就一定有食物吗?你可别忘了,我们这批人正是被大部队派遣出来,一边探索周围,一边搜寻食物的!”„Mustthatsand beach that returns tousto embark, with the large unitconvergence, how longdistancedoes not know. Thissegmentpath, weencountersmore powerfulmagic beast, has the matter of possibilityvery much.”
“要回到我们出发的那片沙滩,和大部队汇合,根本不知道有多长的路程。这段路,我们遭遇到更强大的魔兽,是很有可能的事情。”„In the final analysis, how long can ourfoodalsosupportspecifically?”
“说到底,我们的食物具体还能支撑多久?”Cang Xulies downin the tent, hearingoutsidesoundto transmit, the top of hislooks attent, in the heartis clear: At present the remainingfood, most can only support for sevendays!苍须躺在帐篷内,听着外面的声音传来,他看着帐篷的顶,心中非常清楚:目前所剩下的食物,最多只能支撑七天!Butat this moment, whatCang Xuworriesis the condition of team.
但这一刻,苍须更担忧的是队伍的状态。
The peoplehavevariousideasrespectively, the will of the people of teamis lax, has the respectiveopinionrespectively, at this timeneeded the leaderto give the final word.
人都各有各的想法,队伍的人心已经涣散,各自有各自的意见,这个时候就需要领袖来一锤定音。HoweveralthoughZhen Jinwieldedthisposition, but he prestigeasleaderdid not haveenter deeply into people's hearts.
然而针金虽然执掌了这个位置,但他作为领袖的声威还没有深入人心。
The matter of mutton, seems like that isgood deed that canenhance the Zhen Jinleaderprestige, but the resultresulted in the teampoison, causesaround the teamtosses about, has not harvested the sufficientgrain.
羊肉的事情,看似是一件可以提高针金领袖威望的好事,但结果引发了全队中毒,导致队伍前后折腾,还没有收获到足够的粮食。Therefore, Zhen Jindoes not have the meansto consolidateownauthority.
因此,针金没办法巩固自己的权威。„, Looked atthistime.” The Cang Xuheartsaid.
“那么,就看这一次了。”苍须心道。Giving the devil his due, thisis not a good opportunity.
平心而论,这不是一个好机会。Howeverrealitythis, itis always indifferent, alwaysaccident/surpriseanddifficult problemdirectswayedhere, unsatisfactory. The peopleare often unexpected, is unable to demand.
然而现实总是这样,它冷漠无情,总把意外和难题直接摆在这里,不尽人意。人往往猝不及防,更无法强求。No matterZhen JinandZi Di, orCang Xuhe himself, isentireExploration Team, had been compelled the cornerby the reality.
不管是针金、紫蒂,亦或者苍须他自己,还是整个探索队,都已经被现实逼到墙角了。„Only thenspansthisdifficultreality, youcanwieldthisteamtruly. Then, Zhen Jin, the youngleader, how will youchoose?”
“只有跨越这个艰难的现实,你才能真正执掌这个队伍啊。那么,针金啊,年轻的领袖,你到底会如何抉择呢?”Holdsthisquestion, Cang Xuis going to sleepslowly.
抱着这个疑问,苍须缓缓入睡。„How should Ichoose?”Zhen Jinis lost in thought.
“我该如何抉择?”针金陷入沉思。As the leader, the qualifications that hehas not evaded, only thenundertakes!
身为领袖,他没有逃避的资格,只有承担!„Nowteamfoodis insufficient, copes with the Flying Squirrelgroup, gains the choice of food. But the riskis very big, the Exploration Teamstrengthis insufficient. Suffers the electric shock of Flying Squirrelchieftain, definitelymeets the casualtiesto be serious.”
“现在队伍食物不足,对付飞鼠群,是获取食物的一个选择。但风险很大,探索队战力不足。遭受飞鼠头目的电击,必然会伤亡惨重。”„ButIneedto win. Fullwin, is the idealresult. If only the hard victory, the personnel casualtyis oversized, definitelywill make the remainingpeoplefeeldisappointed, no longeranticipatesmyleadership.”
“但我需要大胜。酣畅淋漓的大胜,才是理想的结果。如果只是惨胜,人员伤亡过大,必然会让剩下人感到失望,不再期待我的领导。”„Meanwhile, the entireExploration Teamscale is not big. The casualtiesare oversized, how can the remainingpeoplealsohelpmecompete with the Lord of the Whitesand Cityposition?”
“同时,整个探索队的规模也不算大。伤亡过大,剩下的人还能怎么帮助我竞争白沙城主的位置呢?”Except forthischoice, Zhen Jinunderstandsoneself have anotheroption.
除了这个选择,针金明白自己还有另外一个选项。„Thatgives upthisFlying Squirrelcommunity, will continueto explore, anticipatespossiblyto discoverbetterfoodsourcein the future.”
“那就是放弃这支飞鼠群落,继续探索,期待将来可能发现更好的食物来源。”„Thischoicecanmake the entireteamtemporarilycalm and steady, butfoodstockpilesmany can only support for sevendays, will then encounteranything, is actually very difficultto say.”
“这项选择能让整个队伍暂时安稳,但食物储备最多只能支撑七天,接下来会遭遇什么,其实很难讲。”„May be a weakerbeastgroup, possiblyencountersterrifyingmagic beastdirectly, makingentireExploration Teamperish.”
“有可能是更弱的兽群,也可能直接遭遇一头恐怖的魔兽,让整个探索队灭亡。”„Iffood conducts the strictcontrol, the deflation, cansupport over tendaysas far as possible.”
“如果食物进行严格管控,尽量缩减,能够支撑十天以上。”„The risk that butdoes thisis very big.”
“但这样做的风险很大。”„Oncefoodstartsdeficiently, the will of the peoplewill be flurried, eveneach otherwill alert, each otherhunts and kills, foroneselfcanliveto swallowmutually!”
“一旦食物开始匮乏,人心就会慌乱,甚至会彼此戒备,彼此猎杀,为了自己能够活下来而相互吞食!”„Myprestige was unable to suppresssuchwill of the people. Ifthissituation happened, the entireteamis not the collapse, butis the riot.”
“我的威望还不能镇压这样的人心。这种情况如果发生,整个队伍不是崩溃而是暴乱。”„I, Zi Di will also be implicatedeven!”
“我也就算了,紫蒂还会被连累!”Zhen Jinpondertime, suddenly the thoughtjumps.针金沉思的时候,忽然有一个念头蹦出来。Thisthoughtsoboldfearful, Zhen Jinhad a scare- „, ifwere compelled the hopeless situation, togo on living, Iwill kill others, takes the fleshas the food?”
这个念头是如此的大胆可怕,以至于针金自己都被吓了一跳-“如果被逼到绝境,为了活下去,我会杀死其他人,以人肉为食吗?”„No, thisis how possible! IfIby doing so, whathadto distinguishwiththesewild beastandbeast!? IamTemplar Knight.”
“不,这怎么可能!我如果这样做了,和那些野兽、畜牲有什么区别!?我可是圣殿骑士。”Zhen Jinfeels the deepshame.针金感到深深的羞愧。Templar Knightis representing the light, is representingbravely, Templar Knightin the battlefieldchargesforeverinfront, Templar Knightin the lifegraspsfairly, protectis good, the protectionis small and weak.圣殿骑士代表着光明,代表着勇敢,在战场上圣殿骑士永远冲锋在前面,在生活中圣殿骑士秉持公正,维护善良,保护弱小。„Originally, becomes a leader, isdifficultysuch. PerhapsImustbe compelledinsanely, howotherwiseto have such terribleideato come?”
“原来,成为一个领袖,是这么的困难。我恐怕是要被逼疯了,否则怎么会产生这样可怕的想法来呢?”At this moment, the Zhen Jinheartfelt feeling the leader is not so easyto hold the post.
这一刻,针金真切感受到领袖绝不是那么容易担任的。
The leadersmustshoulderoneselfresponsibility, cannotdisappointsubordinate'strust, mustinconfuseddiscover the correctroad, leadingeveryoneto come out of the difficult position.
领袖必须要担负起自己的责任,不能辜负下属的信任,要在迷茫的时候找出正确的路来,带领大家走出困境。Let alone, the Zhen Jinbodyis shoulderingcontinuesthese.
更何况,针金身上背负着的远不止这些。Hethinks ofZi Di, in his opinion, hisfianceehas trustedhim, goes all-outto protecthim, tohissteadfast loyalty.
他想到紫蒂,在他看来,他的这位未婚妻一直信任他,尽全力守护他,对他不离不弃。Hethinkshisfamily, his onlyhas a father of arm, hecannotdie, hemustbecomeLord of the Whitesand City, thisiskeyonestep that Hundred Needles familyrevives.
他又想到了他的家族,他那位仅剩下一臂的父亲,他不能死去,他要成为白沙城主,这是百针家族复兴的关键一步。He the prideasaristocrat, as the Templar Knightglory......
还有他身为贵族的骄傲,身为圣殿骑士的荣耀……With the ponder, the Zhen Jinbrowwrinklestightly, the chestis depressed, unexpectedlysuffocatingfeelings.
随着思考,针金眉头皱得越紧,胸口发闷,竟然有一种窒息的感觉。Histentismost spacious, butat this moment, the entiretentseems like a greatclaw of monster, is contractingunceasingly, probablyblocked the throat of Zhen Jin.
他的帐篷已经是最宽大的,但此时此刻,整个帐篷像是一个怪兽的巨爪,正在不断地收缩,像是扼住了针金的咽喉。Zhen Jinis resisting the hugepressure, the sounds of people outside tentare gradually small, mostExploration Teamdrill into the tentto go to sleep, Zhen Jinfelt that the pressureeven moreis greatly serious.针金抵抗着庞大的压力,帐篷外的人声渐渐小去,大多数的探索队员们都钻入帐篷入睡,针金却感到压力越发沉重巨大。Alsohas not knownhow long, Zhen Jin, bent the waistgentlysuddenly, sitsweakfalls on the marchingblanket, is backing on the tent the onlywooden stakepillar/backbone.
也不知过了多久,针金轻轻啊了一声,忽然弯腰,无力地坐倒在行军毯上,背靠着帐篷中唯一的木桩支柱。„Hūwhistling......”
“呼呼呼……”Zhen Jinis breathing heavily, the foreheadfullis the sweat stain.针金喘着粗气,额头满是汗渍。Hefelt that intenseweariness, thistypewearyis not the physical strength, butisexhausted of energeticaspect.
他感到强烈的疲倦,这种疲倦不是体力,而是精神方面的疲惫不堪。„What to do should I?”Zhen Jinis still confusedandworried.
“我到底该怎么办?”针金依旧迷茫、苦恼。
, Hepartlykneelssubconsciouslyon the ground, started the prayagain.
下意识地,他半跪在地上,再次开始了祈祷。„Oh, my God, Emperor Holybright, your vision is above the skies and there is no fog that could ever block your march. You hold the reins of an enormous empire and lead your billions of people to victory. You are so wise, so resolute and you can see the course of destiny.”
“圣明大帝啊,我的神,祢的目光凌驾于云霄,不管什么样的迷雾都不能阻挡祢前进的步伐。祢手持着庞大帝国的缰绳,带领亿万的子民走向胜利。祢是如此英明,祢是如此的果断,祢能看透命运的轨迹。”„Right now, your faithful and humble believer prays to you. Please show me the way. Clear the fog of destiny and protect me, so that I can uphold my aristocrat's pride and knight's glory.”
“现在,祢忠诚又卑微的信徒向祢祈祷。求祢指点我的路,请祢为我拨开命运的迷雾,求祢护佑我,以便让我维护得贵族的骄傲和骑士的荣耀。”However, the godshave not responded.
然而,神明没有回应。Zhen Jinwaiting.针金等待。Heincomparablyis anticipatinggods'response.
他无比期待着神明的回应。
The timeis quiet, passesunceasingly.
时间悄无声息,不断流逝。Thisis the longwaiting.
这是漫长的等待。Zhen Jinpartlykneelsin the place, the danglinghead, in the Holybright Empiredirection.针金半跪于地,垂下头颅,朝着圣明帝国的方向。Thisis the stubbornwaiting.
这是倔强的等待。Thispray, Zhen Jindemonstrates the unprecedentedpatience.
这一次祈祷,针金显示出前所未有的耐心。Howeverfinally, whenlate at nightice-coldaura, infiltratesfrom the fine drawn of tentunceasingly, sneaks in the Zhen Jinnasal cavity, infiltratedfromhisfleshtohisat heart.
然而最终,当深夜冰冷的气息,从帐篷的细缝中不断地钻进来,也钻进针金的鼻腔中,从他的肌肤中渗透到他的心里了。
The heart of Zhen Jingraduallywas probably cold, the waited forheartfell the valley.针金的心好像渐渐冷了,翘首以待的心落到了谷底。Zhen Jinrealizedbrutalreality- godshave not respondedtohimas before, hewill not wait foranyinstruction of Emperor Holybright.针金意识到了残酷的现实-神明依旧没有给他回应,他不会等来圣明大帝的任何指示。Late at nightintent, fullisdark, nolight.
深夜里的帐篷,满是黑暗,没有一丝的光。youngsterZhen Jinpartlykneelson the ground, probably a statue.少年针金半跪在地上,像是一个石像。Long time, the statuesends out a sigh, heno longerpartlykneels, butstands updifficultly.
良久,石像发出一声叹息,他不再半跪,而是艰难地站起身来。
The leg and footnumb and aching, Zhen Jinstamps the feet, relaxes the muscle.
腿脚酸麻,针金跺脚,放松肌肉。Hiseyeis atheistic, the heartis serious. Heknows,he can only depend upon itself.
他的眼睛无神,心头沉重。他知道,他只能依靠自己。Without the direction of gods, the frontroadis a darkness.
没有神明的指点,前方的路是一片漆黑。Buthemustwalk!
但他必须走下去!
The stayon the spot, can only wait for death, will disappointeveryone.
停留原地,只能是等死,也会让所有人失望。
The lifeisthis.
人生就是这样。
The peopleoftenmustin the hanging in the balancesituation, be compelledto makevariousresolutionsby the life. Personknow,thischoiceiscrude! But, people must withstand the resultforoneselfchoice, no matterbitter and astringentsweet.
人往往要在前途未卜的情形下,被生活逼着做出各种决断。就连人自己都知道,这种抉择是何等鲁莽!而偏偏,人们还得为自己的抉择承受结果,不管是苦涩还是甘甜。Zhen Jin can only continueto ponder.针金只能继续思考。Whatis very strange, thisponder, before hehas not actually feltembarrassed.
很奇怪的是,这一次思考,他却没有感受到之前的窘迫。Looked likebroke through a limit, perhapswasbecause the godshave not responded, makinghimthoroughlyunderstand that no onecandepend upon.
就像是突破了一层极限,或许是因为神明没有回应,让他彻底明白没人可以依靠。Whenarrivesin the morning, the warbling between forestsare getting more and more, Zhen Jinrealizedsuddenlyhad passedoneall night.
当清晨到来,林间的鸟鸣声越来越多,针金猛然意识到已经过去了一整夜。Helifts the tentcurtain, seesmorning sunexactly.
他掀开帐篷门帘,恰好看到朝阳。
The sunlightby the cloud layer, shinesinhalfblackforests. Inearly morningforestsstillhad the white fog, airappearsis wetandcold, Zhen Jinis breathing, feels a neatness.
阳光透过云层,照射在半黑的林间。清晨的林间尚有白雾,空气显得又湿又冷,针金呼吸着,却感到一阵清爽。Whenheliftsthat moment of curtain, heis the wisesupernatural might, completely understandsall, leader who canmake the mostcorrect choice.
当他掀开门帘的那一刻,他就是英明神武,看透一切,能做出最正确选择的领袖。Even ifheknows that oneselfis not, mustactnicely!
哪怕他知道自己不是,也得扮演得像样!Inhissurface a hesitantcolor, hehas not made the decision!
他的面上已经没有一丝犹豫之色,他已经做出了决定!
The peoplewere convenedquickly, listening toZhen Jinto issuea series oforders.
众人很快被召集起来,听针金下达一连串的命令。„Lan Zao, in the following several days, youmustcontinueto sneak, nose the moreinformation of relatedFlying Squirrelcommunity.”
“蓝藻,接下来几天内,你要继续潜行,查探出有关飞鼠群落的更多情报。”„Huang Zao, Bai YaandCang Xu, youare responsible forchoosingwood, wemustmakea number ofshortbows.”
“黄藻、白芽、苍须,你们负责选择木材,我们要制造出一批短弓。”„Zi Di, Ineedyourconfigurationto havepotion, bestalsobe ableto become effectiveto the Flying Squirrelchieftain.”
“紫蒂,我需要你配置出药剂,最好对飞鼠头目也能生效。”Right, Zhen Jinhas decidedto hunt forthisFlying Squirrelbeastgroup.
没错,针金已决定捕猎这支飞鼠兽群。
