Do you mean various mercenary soldiers, Rogue and Adventurer?” Phelan shrugs: „In forest has been full of the danger, every day dies several to be very normal, who knows?” “采药人？您是说各种佣兵、盗贼和冒险者么？”费伦耸耸肩:“森林里面充满了危险,每天死上几个很正常,谁知道呢？” Along with two people of talks, before motorcade drove extremely Night City, gradually. 随着二人的谈话,车队渐渐驶到了极夜城前。 The city wall is not very high, but is thick, as if builds directly with a black granite, looks like very solid. 城墙不是很高,但非常厚,似乎是用一种黑色的花岗岩直接堆砌成的,看起来非常结实。 City gate defending died recognizes Phelan obviously, after receiving one entered the city fee and travel allowance puts the people to enter a city. 城门口的守卒明显认得费伦,在收了一笔入城费和车马费之后就放众人进城。 „First looks for the family|home inn to stabilize!” Leylin told lightly. “先找家旅店安定下来！”雷林淡淡吩咐下去。 ...... …… The time at nightfall, Leylin sends Anna who takes care, a person stays in the room in inn. 时间入夜,雷林打发走服侍的安娜,一个人留在旅店的房间里面。 Opens the window, whistling the cold wind pours into, outside is quite black, be only several point out the yellow flame. 打开窗户,呼呼的冷风灌入进来,外面比较黑,只有几点明黄的火焰。 Leylin Guan Haomen, the package that from carried along took out a blue crystal ball. 雷林关好门,从随身携带的包裹里面取出了一个蓝色的水晶球。 This crystal ball is very small, but is sending out a strange brilliance, some glass center also many golden luminous spots, unceasing You to come swims away, like firefly. 这颗水晶球很小,但散发着一股奇异的光彩,玻璃中心还有许多金色的光点,不断游来游去,就像萤火虫一样。 „Opening!” Leylin recited the incantation. “开启！”雷林念出了咒语。 As sound of incantation resounds, crystal ball inside luminous spot starts to fluctuate unceasingly, finally has composed a somewhat strange mark. 随着咒文的声音响起,水晶球里面的光点开始不断波动起来,最后组成了一个有些奇异的符号。 This mark is curving, revolves unceasingly, finally turned into an appearance of eye, the color also turned red. 这个符号弯弯曲曲的,不断旋转,最后变成一颗眼睛的模样,颜色也变成了通红。 The Leylin's facial expression transfers seriously, first aims at own face the mark, maps in the somewhat thin face the crystal ball. 雷林的神情转为严肃,先是将符号对准自己的脸,将自己有些消瘦的脸庞映入水晶球里面。 „Shadow underwent in 1032, the moon/month of cold winter, the crow called the date of crying.” Leylin said slowly that sound is quite slow, but is clear. “阴影历1032年,凜冬之月,乌鸦鸣啼之日。”雷林缓缓说道,声音比较慢,但非常清晰。 „Today, I arrived at extremely Night City, at present sleeps outside in Hall Pok Inn.” Leylin turned circle the crystal ball, illuminates the environment in the mark frontage, afterward arrives in front of the window, includes not far away scenery. “今天,我到达了极夜城,目前露宿于霍尔福旅店中。”雷林将水晶球转了个圈,将周围环境都照在符号正面,随后又来到窗户前面,将不远处的景色收录进去。 „At present the news, the withered region is located in east the dark night forest, temporarily does not have the personnel casualty report, I will prepare to exit to inquire tomorrow again, perhaps other harvests.” “目前消息,枯萎地域位于暗夜森林东部,暂无人员伤亡报告,我明天准备再出去打听一下,或许有些其它的收获。” „Above! second class Apprentice Leylin Farlier!” “以上！二等学徒雷林・法雷尔！” Leylin said that also has scratched on the crystal ball with the pale finger, hee hee!
