„Father?”
“父亲?”Dannisaskedin a soft voice, shesaw the fatherto standbeforethatgiantworld map, a facewas silent. Cannot help butcurious.丹尼斯轻声问到,她看到父亲站在那张巨大的世界地图前,一脸沉默。不由得好奇了起来。„.”Rodturns around, be with smile on the facelooks atdaughter. „Youknow that whateast of the mainlandis?”
“哦。”罗德转过身来,面带微笑的看着女儿。“你知道大陆以东是什么吗?”„Were yousayeast ofWorlds Edge Mountains?”
“你是说世界边缘山脉以东吗?”Danniscuriousquestion.丹尼斯好奇的反问。Rodnarrows the eyeto smilenod.罗德眯起眼睛微笑着点了点头。„It is saidthatis the place of darkness, by the place of Daemoncorrosion, the place that the mortalis unable to live. The blacksmog of volcanoblowoutmakes a skygloominess, the landnot see the sunlightall day long, the air of solidificationmakesone unable to breathe, does not have anyzoology and botanycangrowonthatlands.”
“据说那是黑暗之地,被恶魔腐蚀之地,凡人无法居住的地方。火山喷出的黑色烟雾使得天空一片灰暗,大地终日不见阳光,凝固的空气令人无法呼吸,没有任何动植物可以在那片土地上生长。”Dannisspoke in a low voice.丹尼斯低声说到。„Where do youhearthese?”
“你在哪里听说这些的?”Rodcontinuesto askwith a smile.罗德笑着继续发问。Seeing only the daughteris bewildered, „in the biglibrary, Iremembers before , has lookedinsomeworldgeographycomprehensive work. However, descriptionare not many. Only hasfew words. Whatinbookmultipurposeris the adjective......”
只见女儿一脸茫然,“在大图书馆,我记得以前在某本世界地理大全上看过。不过,描述的也不多。只有只言片语。书里更多用的是形容词……”Dannissips the lipto speak.丹尼斯抿着嘴唇说到。„Right, the adjective......, youthink the world that in the bookdescribedwas real?”
“对啊,形容词……那么,你认为书中所描述的世界真实吗?”Rodcontinuesto ask. Obviously, Dannisa littlecannot feel the mind, before shearrives at the map, just like the father, is staring atthatgiantworld map, started the ponder.罗德继续发问。显然,丹尼斯有点摸不着头脑,她走到地图前,和父亲一样,盯着那张巨大的世界地图,开始了思考。„Shouldnot bethatreal......”
“应该不是那么真实……”
The daughterreplied.
女儿回答到。„Why?”
“为什么?”„Such that ifreallysuch asin the bookdescribed, then, howChaos was Dwarfsurvives there?”
“如果真如书中所描述的那样,那么,混沌矮人是如何在那里生存的?”„In the Dwarfsurface, theyliveinfreelyunderground.”
“矮人不住地面上,他们住在地下。”Rodspoke of a smile.罗德笑着说到。„Theyalsoneed the grain, needs the airto breathe. Ifthatmainland is really sobad, will not haveanylifeformto loaf above.”
“那他们也需要粮食,也需要空气来呼吸。如果那片大陆真是如此恶劣,根本不会有任何生物在上面游荡。”„ChaosDwarf is also the legend, have youseenthem?”
“混沌矮人也是传说而已,你见过他们?”„Not......”
“没有……”
The daughterwas once again speechless.
女儿又一次无语了。„Therefore, weknow nothingaboutthatworld, east of the worldtothishopeless situationmountain rangeknows nothing.”
“所以,我们对那个世界一无所知,对这座绝境山脉以东的世界一无所知。”Rodsighs with emotion.罗德感慨到。„For a long time, Worlds Edge Mountainswas the border of thisworld, no onecrossed the hills, arrivesoutsideworld. Even ifthere are, is still a small number ofadventurers who the mindgoes crazy, is curiousabout the unknownworld, is the resultimpulsive. Whois willingto surmount the greatmountainto court death? Let alonemorepasseseven, does not have the advantage. Thereanythingdoes not have.”
“长久以来,世界边缘山脉就是这个世界的边境了,没有人越过群山,去到外面的世界。就算有,也是头脑发疯的少数冒险者,对未知的世界充满好奇,冲动所致。谁愿意翻越巨山去找死呢?更何况就算越过去,也没有好处。那里什么也没有。”Dannisdigs the smallmouthto whisper.丹尼斯撅起小嘴嘀咕到。„Youhave not gone, Ihave not gone, cannotsay that thereanythingdoes not have. Inusno one went to the place of darknesstruly, thencannotdraw the conclusionabsurdly. Accounting orally of theseadventurerscannotentirelybelieve,fewpeoplehave gone, come backare less, cannotguarantee that theseaccounted orallyare the facts, Iliketo believe that insidehad the overstatingelement. After all, surmountsWorlds Edge Mountainsis living the personto be extremely few, leeway that their any people in opinionOld Worldhave not refuted. Theysaid that anythingwasanything. Therefore, do not readily believe the words in book.”
“你没有去过,我也没有去过,就不能说那里什么也没有。我们中没有人真正去过黑暗之地,便不能妄下定论。那些冒险者的口述也不能完全相信,极少数的人去过,回来的更少,不能保证这些口述都是事实,我更愿意相信里面有夸大的成分。毕竟,翻越世界边缘山脉又活着回来的人极少,他们的任何言论旧世界的人都没有反驳的余地。他们说什么就是什么了。所以,不要轻信书中的话。”Rodearnestspeaking.罗德认真的说到。„What's the big deal? No onehas cared aboutthese, thatis the crazymatter that someboredadventurersdo.”
“那又怎样?没人关心过这些,那不过是一些无聊的冒险者做的疯狂事而已。”Dannisfaceindifferentreturn.丹尼斯一脸无所谓的回到。„Don't youcare? Another realappearance of hills?”
“你就不关心吗?群山的另一头真实的样貌?”„Does not care......”
“不关心……”Dannislooks atRod, silentmoment , to continue to ask——丹尼斯看着罗德,沉默了片刻,继续问到——„Did youcare?”
“你关心?”„Yes. Icared. Iwantto know that actuallyeast of the worldisanything.”
“是的。我关心。我想知道世界以东究竟是什么。”„Cared that whatthisdoes make?”
“关心这个做什么?”Dannisis still puzzled, eventhought that the fathercuriositywas excessive.丹尼斯依旧不解,甚至觉得父亲好奇心过头了。„The unknownworldis worthexploring. For a long time, Far EastCathaycommodityismost expensive, the price of silkevensurpassed the gold. The price of chinawareandemeraldis better thanallcommodities of Old World. However, all the commodityfromCathaywalksfrom the sea route, hands overafter the Arabyperson, sells the all over the world. It is saidfromCathayto the Arabysea route , the piraterobberare innumerable, eachoceangoing shipistakes the enormousriskin the open sea, mustface the piratetribe, but must face the storm and monstrous waves, even the sea monster, thiscaused the Cathaycommodityexpensiveastonishingly.”
“未知的世界都值得去探索。长久以来,远东震旦的商品都是最贵的,丝绸的价格甚至超过了黄金。瓷器和翡翠的价格更是远胜过旧世界的一切商品。然而,所有来自震旦的商品都是从海路走,经过阿拉比人转手,卖到世界各地。据说从震旦到阿拉比的海路上,海盗劫匪无数,每艘远洋船都是冒着极大的风险在远洋,要面对海盗部落,还要面对风暴和巨浪,甚至还有海怪,这就导致了震旦的商品价格昂贵得惊人。”Roddrankwine , to continue to speak of——罗德喝了一口葡萄酒,继续说到——„For a long time, people were also used tosuchmarket. However, has the personto think, canopentoEasternShangmao Avenuefrom the land? For exampleweknowCathayeast ofourknownworld.”
“长久以来,人们也都习惯了这样的市场。然而,有没有人想过,从陆地上也可以开辟出一条通往东方的商贸大道?譬如我们都知道震旦在我们已知的世界以东。”„Day...... is the father, whatyouthinking? Youridea is impossibleto put into practice!”
“天啊……父亲,你在想什么?你的想法是不可能实现的!”Dannisis suddenly enlighted, called out in alarm. Sheunderstandssuddenly the fatherhas been caring about the worldmountain range the reason. Originally, hehas been thinking,opens a roadfrom the land, goes straight to the remoteEast! Howeverthisis impossible! If nothing else, Worlds Edge Mountainsregardinghuman, is the insurmountablenatural defenses. Surmountsthisgreatmountain, the riskis enormous. Will claim the lives of manypeoplecoldly. Evenexhausts the strength, crossed the hills, then, the waitingexploring party, will be the endlessdarkplace. Even the luckis excellent, passed through the place of darknesssmoothly, then, east of the place of darkness, what but alsothere is? No oneknows. Perhapsis a more terrifyingregion. In brief, a lot ofyears of person, no onehassuchidea. Peoplehave tacitly approved, the Cathaycargo can only walkfrom the sea. But the descriptionaboutthatancientKingdom, returns the legendcompared with the legendsimply......丹尼斯恍然大悟,同时也惊呼了起来。她突然明白了父亲一直在关心世界山脉的原因。原来,他一直都在想,从陆地上开辟一条商道,直抵遥远的东方!但是这根本不可能!别的不说,世界边缘山脉对于人类来说,就是不可逾越的天险。翻越这座巨山,风险极大。寒冷会夺去许多人的生命。就算用尽力气,翻过了群山,那么,等待探险队的,将是无尽的黑暗之地。即便运气极好,顺利穿过了黑暗之地,那么,黑暗之地以东,还有什么?没人知道。或许是更加恐怖的地带。总之,千百年人,没有人有这样的想法。人们已经默认,震旦的货物只能从海上走。而关于那个古老王国的描述,简直比传说还传说……„Whyis impossible?”
“为什么不可能?”Rodnarrows the eyeto ask.罗德眯起眼睛问到。„Originallyis impossible! Even ifcaravansmoothacrossWorlds Edge Mountains, the frontwaits fortheir, as beforeis the endlessdarkness.”
“本来就不可能!就算商队顺利穿过世界边缘山脉,前方等待他们的,依旧是无尽的黑暗。”„Howdoesn't tryto know? First the ships that came from the Cathayopen seaalsoarrives in the destinationafter the innumerableattemptsfinally.”
“不试试怎么知道呢?第一艘从震旦远洋而来的船只也是经过无数次尝试才最终抵达目的地的。”Rodis insisting, the expressionenforces——suddenly罗德坚持着,表情陡然严肃起来——„Iplanto establish the exploring party, makingthemgo out ofOld World, exploreseast of the mainlandworld, foundto the Easternpath. Right, thissoundsveryinconceivable, is almost impossibleto realize. However, wemusthave the explorationspirit. Practices the truth.”
“我打算成立探险队,让他们走出旧大陆,去探索大陆以东的世界,找到通往东方的道路。没错,这听起来很不可思议,几乎无法实现。但是,我们必须有探险精神。实践出真理。”„Walksfrom the frostcoldtrail, across the devilcanyon, cansave the mosttime, Iwill send outUnit, the cleaning uplocalbarbariclifeform, reinforces the fortificationin the stone hammercityborder, sets up the outpost, provides the commoditysuppliesfor the exploring party. Alsoprovides the relay station that restsfor the futurecaravan. Thisis a greatplan, Idid not count on that itcanrealizein a short time, withconstructingWall, soundsinconceivable, but the plan, has the possibility of realizationwell. Oncefoundto the Easternroad, Kislevwill welcome the historicaltransformation. Youknow that Irefer toanything.”
“从霜寒小径走,穿过魔鬼峡谷,可以省去大半时间,我将派出一支部队,清理当地的野蛮生物,在石锤城边境加固工事,设立哨站,为探险队提供物资补给。也为将来的商队提供休憩的驿站。这是一项伟大的计划,我不指望它在短时间内可以实现,和修建长城一样,听起来不可思议,但是好好规划,并不是没有实现的可能。一旦找到通往东方的商道,基斯里夫将迎来历史性的变革。你知道我所指的是什么。”
The RodseriousexpressionmakesDannisdetermineagain the fatheris not cracking a joke.罗德的严肃表情让丹尼斯再一次确定父亲不是在开玩笑。„, Whomsendingto go? No oneis willingto go, goesto be equal tocourting death.”
“那么,派谁去呢?没人愿意去,去了就等于找死。”Dannispondered after the moment, asked.丹尼斯思考片刻后问到。„Incivil warmanyriotershad not been executed, the revoltingcitydefense force, somealsoclosein the dungeon, givesthem a making reparationsopportunity, compared with the death, many people are willingto give it all. Hope that perhapssurviveslittle.”
“内战中不少暴民还没有被处死,叛变的城防军,还有一些还关在地牢中,给他们一次赎罪的机会吧,比起死亡,许多人更愿意放手一搏。或许还有一点点生存下去的希望。”Rodspoke.罗德说到。
