„That, what is the price?” “那么,代价是什么呢？” A Renn question blurted out. 雷恩一句反问脱口而出。 He believes those words, in the world does not have the free lunch. Elder Titan pledges the so attractive two conditions, regardless of which he is very excited. 他还是坚信那句话,世上没有免费的午餐。泰坦长老开出如此诱人的两个条件,无论哪个他都很心动。 Titan Giant soul contract can obtain „titan's divine power”, this is one of the most famous legendary key element, but can also obtain another four key element, soul eyes has looked at Athena has not known that many spread, other key element cannot compare titan's divine power, but also is quite practical powerful. 一个泰坦巨人的灵魂契约可以得到“泰坦神力”,这是最著名的传奇要素之一,还能得到另外四个要素,灵魂之眼早就把阿西娜看过不知多少遍了,其它要素远比不上泰坦神力,但也极为强大实用。 Creates the contract with Athena, is only strength can rise suddenly two times to continue, the strength is increased more. 跟阿西娜缔造契约,光是力量就能暴涨两倍不止,实力提升更多。 However compares three of Solim commitment time to act, legendary key element value some insufficiently looked, even can only attaches the complimentary gift. 但是相比索里姆承诺的三次出手,一个传奇要素的价值就有些不够看了,甚至只能算是附赠品。 A promise of Demigod, even if only has one time, the value is also unquantifiable. 一位半神的许诺,哪怕只有一次,价值也难以估量。 At crucial moment, likely reversal entire situation. 关键时候,很可能逆转整个局势。 What let alone Solim commitment is three times, but can also shift to family's successor, has saying that Solim really has the sincerity. 更何况索里姆承诺的是三次,还能转移给家族的继承人,不得不说,索里姆真的非常有诚意。 The sincerity is too but big, Renn instead a little cannot withstand. 可是诚意太大,雷恩反而有点承受不住。 The promise that Solim is willing to give is heavier, he is more in the thing that oneself here demands, if were seduced to become confused, full mouth complies, in the future is unable to cash to make Elder Titan satisfy, sooner or later must be received by both capital and interest. 索里姆愿意给出的许诺越重,他在自己这里索取的东西就越多,如果被诱惑冲昏头脑,满口答应下来,将来无法兑现让泰坦长老满意,迟早要被连本带利都收回去。 Heard the Renn question, Solim to appreciate him. 听见雷恩的反问,索里姆更加欣赏他了。 „Your calmness really surpassed others is too many, no wonder can have such great achievement in several years.” Solim first praised one, then said: „You listened, my request also had two. First, in the next hundred years, will deliver 1000 pounds source crystal to Storm Temple every year ; Second, when you grasp Oriense Empire, when or can incite over three Floating City, eliminates us in the Storm Plane enemy.” “你的冷静真的超出别人太多了,难怪短短几年能有这么大的成就。”索里姆先是赞扬了一句,接着说道:“你听好了,我的要求同样也有两个。一,未来百年之内,每年送一千磅源晶到风暴圣殿;二,当你掌握奥瑞恩瑟帝国,或是能指使得动三座以上的浮空城时,肃清我们在风暴位面的敌人。” Renn selected slowly, looks the ponder. 雷恩缓缓点了下头,面露沉思。 Really, this sumptuous lunch is not free, wants to bring her home is not easy. 果然,这顿丰盛的午餐不是免费的,想要抱得美人归没那么容易。 The first request, provides 1000 pounds source crystal to continue every year for hundred years, a total of 100,000 pounds source crystal, is not harsh. Own mine produces over 6000 pounds source crystal at present every year, in addition purchases in the empire and Congatro everywhere, one year can collect 8000 pounds source crystal probably. 第一个要求,每年提供一千磅源晶持续百年,总共十万磅源晶,并不算苛刻。自己的矿场目前每年出产六千磅以上的源晶,加上在帝国和康加特罗到处购买,一年大概能收集到八千磅源晶。 Even if mine several years later dried up, can still insist many years. 就算矿场几年后枯竭了,也能坚持很多年。 Must seek for the new mine origin in any case, every year increases 1000 pounds burden to accept. 反正都要寻找新的矿场来源,每年增加一千磅的负担可以接受。 100,000 pounds source crystal trades legendary key element and Athena this strong strength, is very worthwhile, let alone installment payment. 十万磅源晶换一个传奇要素和阿西娜这个强大战力,还是很合算的,何况还是分期付款。 What real difficult office is the second request. 真正难办的是第二个要求。 Renn asked with amazement: „Elder, you and do the clansman have the enemy in Storm Plane?” 雷恩惊讶问道:“长老,你和族人在风暴位面有敌人？” Storm Plane is not low in the main material world popularity, it is situated between wind element plane and transition plane between thunder element plane, the area is similar to the empire, is the Storm Giant birthplace and hometown. In the Second Epoch period, Storm Plane is the Giants Empire sacred place, constructs many Storm Temple. 风暴位面在主物质界的知名度不低,它是介于风元素位面与雷元素位面之间的过渡位面,面积跟帝国差不多,是风暴巨人的诞生地和故乡。在第二纪元时期,风暴位面是巨人帝国的圣地,建有多座风暴圣殿。 Now the giant declines, has not thought that even sacred place is unable to protect. 如今巨人没落,没想到连圣地都无法守护了。 „Naturally has.” Solim complexion serious nod, „Storm Plane only belonged to Storm Giant, most when peak, six Storm Temple firmly are controlling entire plane, until now only remained this.” “当然有。”索里姆脸色严肃的点了点头,“风暴位面原本只属于风暴巨人,最巅峰之时,六座风暴圣殿牢牢控制着整个位面,到如今只剩这一座了。” „Other five were destroyed?” Renn asked. “其它五座都被摧毁了吗？”雷恩不禁问道。 Solim shakes the head saying: „Three destroy at the late stage of the era thoroughly, two respectively came from the wind element and thunder element plane enemy occupies. Their Boss strengths are similar to me, and subordinates has the huge quantity of armies, many element lifeform and dependency races, the overall strength is stronger.” 索里姆摇头道:“三座在纪元末期彻底毁灭,还有两座被分别来自风元素和雷元素位面的敌人占据。他们的首领实力跟我差不多,并且麾下拥有数量庞大的军队,诸多元素生物和附庸种族,整体实力更强。” „If not I can activate strength of use temple, Storm Giant had been expelled Storm Plane, roamed about outside.” “如果不是我能激活使用圣殿的力量,风暴巨人已经被赶出风暴位面,在外面流浪了。” Speaking of the difficult place of clansman, the Solim complexion is very serious. 说到族人的艰难之处,索里姆的脸色很沉重。 Renn also hears to be flabbergasted. 雷恩也听得咋舌。 The Storm Giant difficult position also wants sternly compared with the imagination in many. 风暴巨人的困境比想象中还要严峻不少。 Perhaps wind element plane also thunder element plane, is the area endures compared with entire Old World ultra-large plane, the environment was inferior that main material world is so exquisite occupies suitably, but under the extreme condition, bred the innumerable alien races similarly. 无论是风元素位面还是还雷元素位面,都是面积堪比整个旧大陆的超大型位面,环境也许不如主物质界那么优美宜居,但在恶劣条件之下,同样蕴育了无数的异族。 Especially wind element plane, is one of the four big element plane. 特别是风元素位面,位列四大元素位面之一。 Species that any in four big element plane, existence is hard to count, unusual strength compared with main material world, the saint level above powerhouse is even better innumerable, obscure powerful lifeform, if launches the plane war with main material world, the victory and defeat is difficult to predict. 四大元素位面中的任何一个,都存在着难以计数的物种,超凡力量比主物质界更胜一筹,圣阶以上的强者数不胜数,还有许多默默无闻的强大生物,如果与主物质界展开位面战争,胜负难料。 Many God God's kingdom in element plane. 况且多位神祗的神国就在元素位面之中。 Storm Plane surely does not have four big element plane is so fearful, but, with two with Solim strength close Demigod for the enemy, drives away them, even must eliminate them, that was too difficult. 风暴位面肯定没有四大元素位面那么可怕,但是,跟两个跟索里姆实力相近的半神为敌,驱赶他们,甚至还要消灭他们,那就太难了。 The Solim goal is obvious. 索里姆的目标显而易见。 He wants to recapture Storm Temple that two only save, controls Storm Plane, is based on this obtains the resources and territory, the growth population, revives the magnificence of Storm Giant. 他想夺回那两座仅存的风暴圣殿,重新掌控风暴位面,然后以此为基础得到资源与领土,增长人口,重振风暴巨人的辉煌。 Renn felt, even if there is an empire to intend to participate still not necessarily can succeed. 雷恩觉得,就算有帝国出手参与也不见得能成功。 Let alone, no matter controls the empire to direct three Floating City, oneself left far, does not know that must be able to achieve lord knows. 更何况,不管是掌控帝国还是指挥三座浮空城,自己都离得太远了,不知道要猴年马月才能达到。 „Perhaps elder, second requests me unable to achieve.” Renn probed one. “长老,第二个要求我恐怕做不到。”雷恩试探了一句。 „This does not force to request.” Solim also knows difficulty, explained: „I do not have the limiting time, the patience you will grow. When I think when you have the sufficient strength, set the request with you again, when the time comes did with does not do, was decided by yourself.” “这不是强制要求。”索里姆也知道其中的难度,解释道:“我没有限定时间,会耐心等你成长起来。当我认为你已经拥有足够的实力时,再跟你提出要求,到时候做与不做,由你自己决定。” „What I want is only your commitment.” “我要的只是一个你的承诺。” „Before eliminating the Storm Plane enemy, I only will act one time for you. If you had not acted, the surplus making a move opportunities, I will not cash in twice.” “不过在肃清风暴位面的敌人之前,我会只为你出手一次。如果你一直没有行动,剩余的两次出手机会,我不会兑现。” He sees Renn also in hesitant, added: „Storm Plane hidden many secrets with locating, will conquer it to gain the enormous benefit, I will not monopolize, how to assign us to discuss specifically in the future again.” 他见雷恩还在犹豫,又补充道:“风暴位面隐藏着许多秘密与处好,征服它将得到极大的利益,我不会独占,具体怎么分配我们将来再讨论。” The Renn look slows down. 雷恩的神色放缓下来。 If not force to request to fulfill, that was quite loose. 如果不是强制要求履行的话,那就比较宽松了。 A commitment trades making a move of Demigod, definitely does not owe, as for future whether to fulfill the commitment, that will be the future matter, now does not need to consider too many. 一个承诺换一位半神的出手,肯定不亏,至于将来自己能否履行承诺,那是将来的事情了,现在不用考虑太多。 The condition that Solim pledges is unable to reject. 索里姆开出的条件无法拒绝。 What is most essential, can pull closer relations of both sides by this transaction, offers mutual benefit and achieves common progress. If refused to be unappreciative, possibly was used together source crystal to exchange the goods the opportunity to be cancelled, that a little gain does not equal the loss, brought upon oneself dully. 最关键的是,凭借这次交易可以拉近双方的关系,互利互惠。要是拒绝就太不识抬举了,可能连用源晶兑换物品的机会都被取消,那就有点得不偿失,自找没趣。 „Thanks the elder deep affection.” “谢谢长老厚爱。” Renn stands to say seriously: „Hope one day, I can recapture the homeland to offer my strength for Storm Giant.” 雷恩站起来郑重说道:“希望有一天,我能为风暴巨人重新夺回家园献上自己的力量。” „You must add diligently.” “那你就要多加努力了。” On Elder Titan that dignified face shows the smile finally, he takes up two crystal bottles from the table, twists off the cover, handed over one bottle to give Renn. 泰坦长老那张威严的脸上终于露出笑容,他从桌上拿起两个水晶瓶,拧开盖子,递了一瓶给雷恩。 „Cheers!” “干杯！” „Cheers!” “干杯！” Two people hold up the crystal bottle to bump gently, tosses down lightning essence. 两人举起水晶瓶轻轻一碰,把闪电精华一饮而尽。 After sitting, Renn thinks of a matter, hesitated unable to bear ask: „Elder, how Athena can there tell her?” 重新坐下来后,雷恩想到一件事,迟疑了一下还是忍不住问道:“长老,阿西娜那里要怎么跟她说？” „Said on the line directly.” Solim thinks little. “直接说就行了。”索里姆不以为意。 „......” His cautious saying: „Is first mad with Athena?” “呃……”他小心翼翼的说道:“是不是先跟阿西娜通下气？” Returning that Solim does not care about very much said: „Does not use such troublesome, Athena is the reasonable young people, she will understand.” 索里姆并不是很在意的回道:“不用这么麻烦,阿西娜是通情达理的年轻人,她会理解的。” „Understanding, but doesn't agree?” Renn also asked. “理解,但不同意呢？”雷恩又问。 „She must agree, for the hope of Storm Giant, she does not have the right of rejection.” Solim puts down the crystal bottle, said with an unquestionable tone, „, moreover this is also good for her, signs soul contract with you, she will obtain five powerful key element from your here, the strength rises sharply, later promotes the possibility large scale promotion of saint level, can receive your attendance in main material world, does not have any loss.” “她必须同意,为了风暴巨人的希望,她没有拒绝的权利。”索里姆放下水晶瓶,用一种不容置疑的语气说道,“而且这也是为了她好,跟你签订灵魂契约,她将从你这里得到五个强大的要素,实力大涨,以后晋升圣阶的可能性大幅度提升,在主物质界还能受到你的照顾,没有任何损失。” „The Storm Giant female are not truly many, but does not miss her one.” “风暴巨人的女性确实不多,但也不差她一个。” „By the Athena talent, I have not thought makes her only have the child for the clansman, she should use oneself strength and power, makes a bigger contribution to the clansman.” “以阿西娜的天赋,我从来就没想过让她只为族人生育孩子,她应该利用自己的优势和能力,为族人做出更大的贡献。” When Solim speech on face a natural appearance. 索里姆说话时脸上一副理所当然的样子。 Renn discovered, Demigod eventually is Demigod. 雷恩发现,半神终究是半神。 The person god is able to discriminate, even if again the affection later generation in the Solim eye is also a sacrificial victim, has not considered Athena completely oneself feeling. 人神有别,哪怕是再慈爱的后辈在索里姆眼里也不过是一个牺牲品,完全没有考虑过阿西娜本人的感受。 Solim can, no matter, but oneself are not good. 索里姆可以不管,但自己不行。 In the future Athena must be together with oneself for a long time, if takes the race principle of righteousness as the reason, compels her to agree that concludes soul contract forcefully with oneself, will also drop a thorn at heart, thus triggers the contradiction. 未来阿西娜要跟自己长期相处,如果以种族大义为理由,强行逼她同意跟自己缔结灵魂契约,心里也会落下一根刺,从而引发矛盾。 Even if from individual viewpoint, Renn does not want to make Athena sad. 哪怕从个人的角度考虑,雷恩也不想让阿西娜伤心。 If possible, Renn is even willing to cancel the first transaction, so long as the second mutual commitment were good, but Solim will definitely not agree. Athena soul contract is the tie between both sides, without the marrying foundation, that commitment is not very reliable, will fade from the memory with the lapse of time. 如果可以的话,雷恩甚至愿意取消第一个交易,只要第二项的互相承诺就行了,但索里姆肯定不会同意。阿西娜的灵魂契约是双方之间的纽带,没有联姻基础,那个承诺就不够牢固,会随着时间的推移而淡忘。 soul contract is the most impregnable sacred treaty of alliance, is more convincing than the marriage, once signs is unable to abolish, until a side death. 灵魂契约是最牢不可破的神圣盟约,比婚姻更加令人信服,一旦签订就无法撤销,直至其中一方死亡。 Therefore only makes Athena follow oneself is not good. 所以只让阿西娜跟自己走也不行。 Renn considered a while, felt oneself have necessity urging. 雷恩考虑了一会儿,觉得自己有必要劝一劝。 „Elder, first solicited the agreement of Athena, at least gave her time to consider.” He very earnest saying: „I do not want to hurt her heart.” “长老,还是先征求阿西娜的同意吧,至少给她一点时间考虑。”他很认真的说道:“我不想伤她的心。” Solim looked at Renn several seconds, suddenly smiled. 索里姆看了雷恩几秒钟,忽然笑了。 „It seems like you do not understand Athena truly.” Elder Titan is similar all completely to grasp, „I know you stemming from the good intention, but really does not need. We are Storm Giant, unlike your human, always has the words to speak frankly, without human so many exquisite thoughts.” “看来你并不真正了解阿西娜。”泰坦长老仿佛一切尽在掌握,“我知道你是出于好意,但真的没有必要。我们是风暴巨人,跟你们人类不一样,从来都是有话直说,没有人类那么多细腻的心思。” Without Renn answered, Solim counts on the fingers to spring a lightning, submerges vanishes void does not see, „Athena, I told her immediately face to face.” 没等雷恩回话,索里姆屈指弹出一道闪电,没入虚空消失不见,“阿西娜马上就到,我当面跟她说。” In Renn heart stunned. 雷恩心中错愕。 Is less than two minutes, outside the furnace temple resounded the sound of footsteps, immediately, be with smile on the face Athena walked. 不到两分钟,熔炉圣殿外面就响起了脚步声,随即,面带笑容的阿西娜走了进来。 Previously fought the wound of receiving to restore, the spirit was also very full. 此前战斗受的伤已经全部恢复了,精神也很饱满。 „Elder, Renn.” “长老,雷恩。” She sent regards to two people, sees Renn and Solim sits near the table, on the table chocked up drank the spatial crystal bottle, in the eye surprised, somewhat anticipated faintly, the elder called definitely to have the important matter oneself, with oneself soon outside related. 她向两人问候,看见雷恩和索里姆坐在桌边,桌上摆满了喝空的水晶瓶,眼中惊讶,隐隐也有几分期待,长老把自己叫来肯定有重要的事情,跟自己即将外面有关。 „Athena, comes.” “阿西娜,过来吧。” After Solim Athena sits, said directly: „I discussed with Renn something, decided that makes you conclude soul contract with Renn, becomes his spouse, how do you feel?” 索里姆等到阿西娜坐下来后,直接说道:“我跟雷恩谈了一些事情,决定让你跟雷恩缔结灵魂契约,成为他的配偶,你觉得如何？” „!” “啊！” Athena shouted one lightly, obviously had not expected completely. 阿西娜轻叫一声,显然对此完全没有预料。 Then looked at one to sit in nearby Renn fast, the root of the ear blushes, on the cheeks also gave birth to pale red, but quick returned to normal, the vision put aside from Renn, returns to the body of Solim, made noise to ask: „Elder, is this idea of your meaning or Renn?” 然后飞快看了一眼坐在旁边的雷恩,耳根发红,脸颊上也生出一片淡红,不过很快就恢复正常,目光从雷恩身上移开,回到索里姆的身上,出声问道:“长老,这是您的意思还是雷恩的想法？” „This is my idea.” The Solim pale sound returns said: „Renn also agreed.” “这是我的主意。”索里姆淡声回道:“雷恩也同意了。” The Athena light point reaches the head: „I want.” 阿西娜轻点臻首:“我愿意。” Solim satisfied smiling, „is very good, Athena, you have not really disappointed me.” 索里姆满意的笑了笑,“很好,阿西娜,你果然没有让我失望。” Renn looks dumbfoundedly in the one side. 雷恩在一旁看得目瞪口呆。 Is this is cracking a joke? 这是在开玩笑吗？ The average people buy one bunch of cabbages to be choosy in the supermarket, this life-long important matter, Athena had not considered unexpectedly on full mouth complied, less than ten seconds complete the decision. She does not ask, she has had other companion? What goal do the elders arrange? Does she like herself? 一般人在超市买一捆白菜都要挑挑拣拣,这种终生大事,阿西娜竟然没考虑就满口答应了,前后不到十秒钟就做完决定。她难道不问问,自己有没有别的伴侣？长老这么安排有什么目的？或者她喜不喜欢自己？ Solim notices the Renn expression, turns the head, said with a smile: „Renn, I had told you do not use that troublesome, Athena will agree.” 索里姆注意到雷恩的表情,转头过来,笑道:“雷恩,我跟你说过不用那么麻烦,阿西娜会同意的。” „But......” Renn thought was too careless. “可是……”雷恩还是觉得太草率了。 „It‘s nothing, but, this matter set.” Solim wielded starting, gives the final word. “没什么可是的,这件事就这么定下了。”索里姆挥了下手,一锤定音。 Athena also follows to say in a soft voice: „Renn, the elder will never harm us, regardless of the elder handles anything to consider for a future of Storm Giant clan.” 阿西娜也跟着轻声道:“雷恩,长老从来不会害我们,无论长老做什么事情都是为了风暴巨人一族的未来着想。” She asked suddenly: „You this year are several years old?” 她忽然问道:“你今年几岁？” „25 years old.” Renn was still at a loss, subconscious reply. “二十五岁。”雷恩仍处于茫然中,下意识的回答。 „Really young!” “真年轻！” Athena is covering mouth, „my age is your two times, just grew up in our Giants, should look for the spouse. Many years ago I believe that only then beats my talent to have the qualifications to become my spouse, but must be the same age with me, most cannot over ten -year-old, you have conformed to all standards.” 阿西娜捂着嘴,“我的年龄正好是你的两倍,不过在我们巨人族刚成年,也是该寻找配偶了。很多年前我就认为,只有击败我的人才有资格成为我的配偶,还要跟我同龄,最多不能超过十岁,你已经符合所有标准了。” „And......” “而且……” She looks at carefully the Renn face earnestly, in the eye is flashing through several points of shyness, „you very handsome, in all young male giants compared with the temple must favor, I also very like your.” 她认真端详着雷恩的脸庞,眼里闪过几分羞涩,“你长得很英俊,比圣殿里所有年轻的男巨人都要看好,我还挺喜欢你的呢。” „I am not a giant.” “我不是巨人。” Renn adjusts strong this point, mixed marriage is very exciting, but possibly is unharmonious. 雷恩调强这一点,异族通婚很刺激,但也可能不和谐。 „That just right!” Athena, „same clan cannot conclude soul contract joyfully, you were human are too good. I can give you titan's divine power sharing, like this you can the increasing build, be from inside to outside the same as true Titan Giant, my strength can also be increased many.” “那正好啊！”阿西娜欣喜不已,“同族不能缔结灵魂契约,你是人类就太好了。我可以把泰坦神力共享给你,这样你就能变大体形,由内而外都跟一个真正的泰坦巨人一样,我的实力也能提升很多。” She had asked for advice the Renn strength personally, actually the eye slanders very much Renn these powerful key element. 她已经亲自领教了雷恩的实力,其实很眼谗雷恩那些强大的要素。 Saw with own eyes that Athena is so free and easy confident, Renn felt if oneself decline again seems very false, a personality capable refined, makings beautiful open, the stature hot big long leg outstandingly beautiful beautiful woman makes love on own initiative, in the world simply did not have the man to reject. 眼见阿西娜如此坦然洒脱,雷恩觉得自己要是再推辞就显得很虚伪,一个性情干练脱俗、气质明媚开朗、身材火辣的大长腿绝色美女主动示爱,世界上根本没有男人能拒绝得了。 He could not withstand in any case. 反正他是顶不住了。 „Then starting today, we were the companions of living and dying together, later please look.” Renn puts out a hand, Athena grips his hand gracefully, feels warming on his hand with strength, the smile was saying: „Shouldn't be you looks after me?” “那么从今天起,我们就是同生共死的伴侣了,以后请多关照。”雷恩伸出手来,阿西娜落落大方的握住他的手,感受着他手上的温暖与力量,微笑道:“不应该是你关照我吗？”
