Lonedragon between hillswas coveredunderonechillywhitesnowcolors.
群山之间的独龙城被覆盖在一片凄白的雪色之下。
After surmounting a straightmountain peak, the groundconstruction of Lonedragonthenmapped the view.
翻越一座笔直的山峰后,独龙城的地面建筑便映入了眼帘。„Wearrived, groupmountain city.”
“我们到了,群山之城。”LeaderGudransproudspeaking of Dwarfcaravan.矮人商队的首领古德兰斯骄傲的说到。
The presentarchitectural complexmadeRodremember the snow and iceimperial palace in Kislevcapital. Just, coversin the Lonedragonabovesnow and iceis the climateis the resultcoldlynaturally, but the Katarinsnow and iceimperial palaceis the Magicproduct.
眼前的建筑群让罗德想起了基斯里夫首都的冰雪皇宫。只不过,覆盖在独龙城上方的冰雪是气候寒冷天然所致,而卡特琳娜的冰雪皇宫是魔法的产物。Followingravinetrack, Rodonegroup of unceasinglydownward.
顺着山间小道,罗德一行人不断下行。Herehasmore than tenpaths, fromhillsto lead toLonedragon. LetRodhave a feeling of all roads lead to Rome. Meanwhile, Rodalsoknows,thiscitycontinuesitlooksthattiny. AllDwarffortsor the cities, the underground portion is always much huger than the aerial parts.
这里有十几条道路,都是从群山外通向独龙城的。让罗德有一种条条大路通罗马的感觉。同时,罗德也知道,这座城市远不止它看上去那么渺小。所有矮人要塞或城市,地下部分总是比地上部分要庞大得多。„Friend, toLonedragon, Imustfeel gratefulyourwell. Whatdemand do youhave? Lonedragonhas the bestbeer.”
“朋友,到了独龙城,我要好好感激你一番。你有什么需求?独龙城有最好的啤酒。”CaravanLeaderGudranswarmspeaking.
商队首领古德兰斯热情的说到。„Demand...... reallyhas...... meto hope that youcanhelpmepresentLonedragonCity Lord.”
“需求……确实有……我希望你能够帮我引见独龙城的城主。”Answering that Rodcomes straight to the point.罗德开门见山的答到。Unexpectedlyopposite partywithout hesitationcomplied.
不料对方毫不犹豫的就答应了。„Does not have the issue, even ifyouroneselfdid not say,Lord Sogaardwill still receiveyour. Weoweyou a benevolence, the friend.”
“没问题,就算你自己不说,索加德领主也会接见你的。我们欠你一份恩情,朋友。”Gudransfrankreturn.古德兰斯爽朗的回到。
After twohour, theyfinallyarrived in the Lonedragonentrance.两个小时后,他们终于抵达了独龙城的大门口。Smallcastlefort that overlooksfrom the mountainside, to the ground , is actually sograndmagnificent. Giantiron gatefivesix layersbuildingtall, holdMammoth and Giantprocesssufficiently. The front doorboth sidesare the giantCoiling Dragonstatue, right above the front door, is hanging a Dragonskull. The entirefront doorgives a solemn silence the bulk specific gravityfeeling.
从山腰上俯瞰的小小的城堡要塞,到了地面上,却是如此宏伟壮观。巨大的铁门足足有五六层楼高,足以容纳猛犸象和巨人经过。大门两侧是巨大的盘龙雕像,大门正上方,悬挂着一颗巨龙头骨。整座大门给人予一种庄严肃穆的容重感。But the front doorboth sidesDwarfguardsseem likeactuallyandordinaryDwarfnotdifferent. Theirstaturesonlyarrive at the human the waistposition , compared to differ so much as to be beyond comparisonwith the hugeconstructionsimply. WhatRodis unable to understandis a Dwarfsuchstatureshortrace, whylikes the sogreatconstruction. Regardingtheirheights, onemetermanytunnelpasses throughsufficiently, butit is said the front door of allDwarffortandcastle is almost sogreat...... perhapstodemonstratetheirartisanhighly skilled, Rodthought.
而大门两侧的矮人卫兵看上去却和普通矮人无异。他们的身材只到人类的腰部位置,和巨大的建筑比起来简直不成比例。罗德一直无法理解的是矮人这样一个身材短小的种族,为什么喜欢如此宏大的建筑。对于他们的身高来说,一米多的隧道足以通行,但是据说所有矮人要塞和城堡的大门几乎都是如此宏大的……或许是为了展示他们的工匠技艺精湛吧,罗德心想。„Arrived, family/home!”
“到了,家!”Dwarves in caravanexcitedshouts.
商队里的矮人们兴奋的大喊起来。Theyarrange a straight line, slowpassingfront door, mouthsnort/humsameargument——
他们排成一条直线,缓慢的通过大门,嘴里哼着同样的调调——FromFrozen SeatoWorlds Edge Mountains,
从冰冻之海到世界边缘山脉,Dwarfis bravest;矮人最勇敢;FromBrettoniatoBadlands,
从巴托尼亚到恶地,Dwarfis most industrious;矮人最勤劳;FromArabytoNorsca,
从阿拉比到诺斯卡,Dwarfstrongestis big.矮人最强大。Weare the soldier on blade edge,
我们是刀锋上的战士,Weare the artisan in raging fire,
我们是烈火中的工匠,Weare the formidables in mountain range.
我们是山脉中的勇者。
The artillerybattle axe, the painbutchersGreenskin,
火炮战斧,痛宰绿皮,FlameWarhammer, the slaughterextinguishesSkaven.
火焰战锤,屠灭鼠人。Drinking to heart's contentgood wine, Dwarfvictory!
痛饮美酒,矮人胜利!Circulation......
循环……Followsinthiscrowd of smalldwarvesbehind, Rodtothemsnort/humsonglyricscannot understand. WhatRod and Blackhammer Fortpersonsaidwas the commonly used language. HoweverDwarfthisraceis very ancient, before the human civilizationdevelops, theythenhad the oneselfresplendencecivilization. Meanwhile, there isoneselfuniquelanguage——Khazalid.
跟在这群小矮子身后,罗德对他们哼的歌可谓一句歌词都听不懂。罗德和黑锤堡的人讲的是通用语。但是矮人这个种族十分古老,在人类文明发展之前,他们便有了自己的辉煌灿烂的文明。同时,也有自己独特的语言——卡扎利德语。Afterclarifyingstatus, the guardallows to passtoRodonegroup. Passes through the giantlithicalfront door, thenentered the Lonedragoninterior.
在讲明身份之后,卫兵给罗德一行人放行。走过巨大的石质大门,便进入了独龙城的内部。„Wewalk the elevator, goes to the artisanhalldirectly.”
“我们走升降梯,直接去工匠大厅。”CaravanLeaderGudransspoke. Hisexcitedbrings the road, is introducing the Lonedragoncharacter and styleappearance, whiledoes not forgetto boastwith the oneselfsavior.
商队首领古德兰斯说到。他兴奋的带着路,一边介绍着独龙城的风情面貌,一边不忘跟自己的救命恩人吹牛皮。„The great city under hills, youseenow, butis the tip of the iceberg of entirecity. The world of thiselevatorjointbottomandground. Itwill leadusto the heart of hills, thiscitytruecore region. Saw? On the cliff wallthesecarving, are the Dwarvesancestorheroes. Theycreatedthisworld, theycarvedthisworld.”
“群山之下的伟大城市,你现在看到的,不过是整个城市的冰山一角。这部升降梯联接地底和地面的世界。它将把我们带到群山之心,这座城市真正的核心区域。看到了吗?崖壁上那些雕刻,是矮人们的先祖英雄。他们创造了这个世界,他们雕刻了这个世界。”Looksfollowing the direction that Gudransrefers, Rodsaw, theseprotrude the dike the statue. Theyareby a hugestonecarving, undereachstatuehas a platform that protrudes the dike, butthesegiantstatues are placetheseto stretch out the cliffabove the platform.
顺着古德兰斯所指的方向望去,罗德看到了,那些凸出岩壁的雕像。它们都是由一块巨大的石头雕刻而成,每尊雕像下方都有一块凸出岩壁的平台,而这些巨大的雕像便是放在这些伸出峭壁的平台之上。HowRodis unable to imaginehasDwarvesis the workon the cliff, andconstructstheseplatforms, butno matter what, theyindeedachieved. Thatseems like very smallstatueactual sizepossiblyto be much bigger. Likeoutsidethatlarge-scalecity gate, overlooksfrom the halfway up the mountainsidesotiny, just like the building blockis ordinary, front arrives atoneto lookactuallystirring.罗德无法想象出矮人们是如何在峭壁上作业,并建造出这些平台的,但是不管怎样,他们的确做到了。那看上去很小的雕像实际大小可能大得惊人。就像外面那座大型城门,从半山腰上俯瞰如此渺小,犹如积木一般,走到面前一看却震撼人心。Withelevatorhighreduction, the surroundingtemperaturecontinuallyrises, Rodknows,oneselfhad entered the mountain rangecenter.
随着升降梯高度的降低,周围的温度不断上升,罗德知道,自己已经进入了山脉中央。
The under footisanotherlarge platform, seems like the DwarvesMarket Village. Smallsunspots above walkcontact.
脚下是另一个大型平台,看上去就像矮人们的城市广场。一个个小黑点在上面行走往来。„Ironhammer Square. Thatis the entireLonedragonbiggestsquare. Thissquareis also connecting the quarters and mining area. Alsoarrived at the endthiselevatortohere. The followingregionneedsto walkormake the mine caron foot. The greatLonedragonancestorsmade the elevator of thisverticalcliff wall. Oncethere is a foreign enemyto threaten the security of city, the guardwill then close the elevator. Thus, exteriorenemyhow , regardless of being unable to come. Ifmustcome , can only come from the otherplaceexcavationtunnels of mountain range.”
“铁锤广场。那是整座独龙城最大的广场。这座广场也连接着生活区和矿区。这座升降梯到这里也到尽头了。下面的区域需要徒步行走或者做矿车。伟大的独龙城先祖们建造了这座垂直崖壁的升降梯。一旦有外敌威胁到城市的安全,卫兵便会关闭升降梯。这样,外部的敌人无论如何也无法进来了。如果一定要进来,只能从山脉的其他地方挖掘隧道进来。”„ThereforeyouhateSkaven.”
“所以你们十分憎恨鼠人。”Rodasked.罗德问到。„Yes, Skaventhisdirtydisgustingrace, allDwarfhave the mission that theirslaughterextinguishes.”
“是的,鼠人这个肮脏恶心的种族,所有矮人都有将它们屠灭的使命。”Gudransis clenching teethto return.古德兰斯咬着牙回到。„Welead the way, Lordhallinbehind of artisanhall, Lord Sogaardininside. Ihad reported the situationwith the guard, believes that hehas been waiting forusin the hall.”
“我们一路前行,领主大厅在工匠大厅的后面,索加德领主就在里面。我已经跟卫兵禀告了情况,相信他已经在大厅内等着我们了。”Gudranscontinuesto speak.古德兰斯继续说到。HeandSlayerBogortakes the lead, is familiar and easytothesedensesuch as the path in spider web.
他和屠夫博古尔走在前面,对那些密如蜘蛛网的道路轻车熟路。„Lord Rod, yourrequestweas far as possiblewill be satisfied. Youmustknow,Lonedragondoes not lack the metal, does not lack the weapon. Myclansmanforges the expert, will not forgeDwarf that andwill unearthis notqualifiedDwarf. Youknow that whatLonedragonis rich in?”
“罗德领主,你的要求我们会尽量满足。你要知道,独龙城并不缺金属,也就不缺武器。我的族人都是锻造高手,不会锻造和挖掘的矮人不是一个合格的矮人。你知道独龙城盛产什么吗?”Rodshakes the head, in front ofsmilelooks atproudsmallDwarf.罗德摇了摇头,微笑的看着面前骄傲的小矮人。„Is rich invarioustypes of gems. whitediamond/drill, reddrill, crystal stone, emerald, opalandBrightstone...... actually, is most famousbyBrightstone. Meanwhile, Lonedragonalsohas the richore resource. Herehasseverallarge-scalemetalmining areas, has the iron ore, copper mineandsilver ore. Youmustknow, the Lonedragonsilveris the whole worldis famous. Herelike a treasure house, hascharmingall.”
“盛产各种宝石。白钻、红钻、水晶石、祖母绿、蛋白石、蓝晶石……其实,又以蓝晶石最为有名。同时,独龙城还有着丰富的矿石资源。这里有几座大型金属矿区,有铁矿、铜矿、银矿。你要知道,独龙城的白银是举世有名的。这里就像一座宝库,有着迷人的一切。”Gudransis introducingLonedragonwith the standardcommonly used language. All the year roundwith the racetrade, makinghiscommonly used languageveryskilled, precise. Butthroughhisdescription, Rod can also peep the complete picture of thisgreat cityprobably.古德兰斯用标准的通用语介绍着独龙城。长年和外界种族贸易,使得他的通用语十分熟练,精确。而通过他的描述,罗德也大概可以一窥这座伟大城市的全貌。
