In Mountain of Serenity central great plains, person of a middle-aged guy who wears the bamboo hat is progressing to gallop in the wilderness, he after on sticking out mound of earth, saw a large camp slightly from afar, the surface seems like, with lives the native tribe is not different above the plain. 安山中部的大平原上,一人戴着斗笠的中年汉子正在荒野上策马驰骋着,他在上了一个稍稍隆起土丘后,远远看到了一座规模不小的营地,表面看起来,与在平原之上聚居土著部落没什么两样。 However outside the camp is inserting a flag, above has a simple balance design. 但是营地外面插着一根旗帜,上面有一个简易的天平图案。 He raised the water pocket to drink water, inspected blade and sword crossbow bolt that carried along, this urged on a horse slowly goes forward, arrived at the camp vicinity, immediately one team of native barbarian clash, to his shouted, carried the crossbow bolt and hand cannon simultaneously aims at him, and requested him to indicate the status in the language, 他提起水囊喝了一口水,又检视了一下随身携带的刀剑弩箭,这才缓缓驱马上前,才来到营地近处,立刻有一队土蛮冲出来,对他喝了一声,同时端起弩箭和火铳对准他,并用蛮语要求他表明身份, The middle-aged guy fishes out an iron sign from the chest crevice, above has a symbol of balance, after these people see, this relaxes, was foul-mouthed to make way the way. 中年汉子从胸口夹缝里摸出一块铁牌,上面有一个天平的符号,这些人看到后,这才放松下来,骂骂咧咧让开了出去路。 The middle-aged guy from gets down immediately, is leading a horse to walk into the military camp, before here and him , the native tribe camps that see are not different, the tent distribution is disorderly, beast of burden and other domestic animals and person mix to occupy in the same place, the under foot everywhere is the contamination, several mole cricket are changing anything in the soil, humming sound randomly calls the housefly and insect flies to crawl. 中年汉子从马上下来,牵着马走入营寨之中,这里和他以前所见到的土著部落营地没什么两样,帐篷分布凌乱,牛马等牲畜与人混居在一起,脚下到处都是污物,几条土狗在泥土里翻动着什么,嗡嗡乱叫蚊蝇和虫子飞来爬去。 Here probably 200-300 people, have native, has the hybrid, some serenese, but can see not from a place, but everyone is fully-armed, looks extremely valiant. 这里大概有200-300人,有土著,有混血,还有一些安人,但看得出都不是来自一个地方,不过每一个人都是全副武装,看起来极为彪悍。 He walked not far, the ear hears one to shout. 他走了没有多远,耳边听到一声喊。 „old Yu, here.” “老余,这里。” He looks following the sound, sees one also to calculate near clean tent, a diminutive old man greeted to him, side also gathered round 45 rough-skinned young fellows, with curious vision looks at he. 他循声看去,见一处还算干净的帐篷边,一个矮小的老头冲着他打招呼,旁边还围着四五个皮肤粗糙的少年人,都用好奇的目光看着他。 The middle-aged guy looked, is leading a horse the past, sat on a wooden stake before tent. 中年汉子看了看,牵着马走了过去,在帐篷前的一个木桩上坐了下来。 The diminutive old man said in a low voice: „How to come is so late?” 矮小老头低声道:“怎么来这么晚？” The middle-aged guy had not replied that this issue, is only the looks at week contour: „What people are?” 中年汉子没有回答这个问题,只是看着周围道:“都是些什么人？” The diminutive old man replied: „Most people are the God of Balance followers.” 矮小老头回答道:“大部分的人都是天平之神的信徒。” The middle-aged guy un, which god follower his to had no interest, he draws cash the management, naturally, the matter that if handles does not suit his intention, he does not throw up one's job dry/does. 中年汉子嗯了一声,他对哪个神的信徒没兴趣,他只是拿钱办事,当然,要是办的事情不合他心意,他也是撂挑子不干的。 He asked: „Knows why this time is the matter?” 他问道:“知道这次是为什么事么？” The diminutive old man collects, said: „Heard that this time is the set manpower attacks one in Town.” 矮小老头凑过来一点,道:“听说这次是集合人手进攻一处驻屯镇。” Middle-aged guy looks at he, said: „In Town has the hand cannon artillery, all adult males after the training, on the native battle with wilderness, depending on these motley crew, are not possible to win year to year, if this action for this matter, I walks immediately.” 中年汉子看着他,道:“驻屯镇有火铳火炮,所有男丁都经过训练,常年和荒原上的土著交战,凭这些乌合之众,是不可能打赢,如果这次行动是为了这件事,那我马上就走。” „No rush.” The diminutive old man looked at outside, told, 45 youngster were understanding, rush to the far place to stand sentry, later he said in a low voice: „old Yu, do you know, God of Balance resurrected, his sustenance body will come here in the evening, acts with us.” On his face is the exciting color, „that is god. god begins personally, where may lose?” “别急啊。”矮小老头看了看外面,吩咐了一声,四五个少年会意,跑到较远的地方放哨去了,随后他低声道:“老余,你知不知道,天平之神复活了,他的一个寄托身躯晚上会来到这里,和我们一起行动。”他脸上全是激动之色,“那可是神明啊。一个神明亲自动手,又哪里可能会输？” The middle-aged guy hears god to come, the vision hidden moves, but he said as before calmly: „What significance but does this have? In Town, if were hit, Protectorate will certainly commandeer the militiaman to subjugate, even god could not resist Profound Mansion and Divine Army.” 中年汉子听到神明会来,目光隐动,可他依旧冷静道:“可这又有什么意义？驻屯镇如果被打下来,都护府一定会征发民兵征讨,就算是神明是对抗不了玄府和神尉军的。” The diminutive old man shakes the head saying: „I do not know that but I think that god won't always do the useless matter?” 矮小老头摇头道:“那我就不知道了,不过我想神明总不会去做没用的事吧？” Middle-aged guy thinking deeply moment, suddenly like arriving at anything, facial expression one tightly, later his stood up suddenly, pulls to start walks out, said: „I remember something, must first process, do not wait for me.” 中年汉子深思片刻,忽然像到什么般,神情一紧,随后他忽的站了起来,牵上马往外走,道:“我想起一些事,要先去处理一下,你别等我了。” The diminutive old man looks at him to walk sharply, pursued two steps, said: „When comes back?” 矮小老头看他走得急,起来追了两步,道:“什么时候回来？” The middle-aged guy has not replied him, walks outward, to the camp exit|to speak, had two native to try to prevent to interrogate him, he struck down the two person conveniently, turns the body saddle, had/left the camp quickly, the vertical horse went far away. 中年汉子没有回答他,一路往外走,到了营地出口,就有两个土著试图来阻止盘问他,他随手击倒了两个人,就翻身上鞍,很快出了营地,一路纵马远去了。 Protectorate southern territory, Hard Claw Tribe station. 都护府南域,坚爪部落驻地。 The coarse civil construction last year by flatten, has now stood erect the one after another layout neat fine brick wooden construction here, outside path was also rammed to level, now on the road the contact tribe people wear the magnificent weaving clothes all. 原本粗陋的土木建筑早在去年就已经被推平了,现在矗立在这里的一座座布局齐整精致的砖木建筑,外面的道路也被夯实平整过了,如今路上往来的部落子民无不是身着华丽的织衣。 Although the bright clothing puts on these sturdy dark native body quite being out of sorts feelings, but before eventually is not, primitive barbaric appearance. 虽然过于鲜艳的衣物穿在这些粗壮黝黑的土著身上颇有一种违和感,可终究不是之前原始野蛮的模样了。 In station biggest mansion, Great Tribe Chief Ekuru is receiving a woman who wears the surface the mask, he feels the chin saying: „You said, you can help ‚Tolotti’ rapidly restore the strength, but can also ’ provide a good sustenance body for ‚ Tolotti?” 驻地最大的宅邸之中,大酋首埃库鲁正在接待一个戴着面着面具的女人,他摸着下巴道:“你是说,你能帮助‘托落提’快速恢复力量,还能为‘托落提’提供一具上好的寄托身躯？” „Yes, Great Tribe Chief.” The voice of woman is very unique, does not have any fluctuating changes, regardless of narrated the question unable to see the least bit sentiment in inside. “是的,大酋首。”女人的声音很独特,没有什么起伏变化,无论叙述疑问都看不出有半点感情在里面。 Ekuru asked curiously: „Why do you want to do that?” 埃库鲁好奇问道:“那你们为什么要这么做呢？” The women replied: „Lets the myriad things under the god control, this is world should the order of existence, this is also, I who our God Restoration Group pursues think that our interest should be also consistent.” 女人回答道:“让万物都在神明的统御之下,这才是世界本该存在的秩序,这也是我们复神会所追求的,我想我们利益应该也是一致的。” Ekuru shakes the head saying: „But I did not feel, moreover I did not think what you said is right.” 埃库鲁摇头道:“可我并不觉得,而且我也不觉得你说的是对的。” That woman said: „ Great Tribe Chief Ekuru, you had not discovered that your tribe is losing the control? 那个女人说道:“埃库鲁大酋首,你没有发现你的部落正在失去控制么？ Your people were yearning more and more life in Auspicious Light City, they like the Eastern Court magnificent clothing, enjoys the Eastern Court good food, is glad to accept the Eastern Court person's direction, they started more and more a not like pure Hard Claw Tribe soldier. ” 你的子民们正在越来越向往瑞光城里的生活,他们喜欢东廷的华丽衣物,享受东廷的美食,乐于接受东廷人的指挥,他们开始越来越不像一个纯粹的坚爪部落的战士了。” She is pointing at table the teacup on braving steam, „entertains the thing that we use including you, these all are Eastern Court, the Hard Claw tribe has to dissipate old.” 她指着桌案上的冒着热气的茶杯,“包括你招待我们用的东西,这些全都是东廷的,坚爪的部落旧有一切都在消逝。” She is looking at Ekuru, „your soldier is losing the belief , helping Hard Claw Tribe god, can help them regain the original belief,” 她又望着埃库鲁,“你的战士正在失去信仰,帮助坚爪部落的神明,就能帮助他们重拾原来的信仰,” Ekuru meets her gaze and says: „My soldier slaughters in the battlefield furiously, the time of then idle, has the power to enjoy these, wears the magnificent clothing, tastes the delicious good food, this is their proper power, I did not think that here has what incorrect.” 埃库鲁迎上她的目光道:“我的战士在战场上奋力厮杀,那么空余下来的时候,就有权力享受这些,穿华丽的衣物,品尝可口的美食,这是他们应有的权力,我并不觉得这里有什么不对的。” The women said: „ No, Great Tribe Chief, when the soldiers discovered when they do not need to depend upon you can obtain these things, is the significance that then Great Tribe Chief you have what? 女人道:“不,大酋首,当战士们发现他们不必依靠你就可以得到这些东西时,那么大酋首你存在的意义又是什么呢？ They no longer regard as the strength you incarnation, they no longer believe in the tribe's god, they are still studying the Eastern Court writing and language now, at present perhaps cannot look, perhaps but the next generation, the next generation person, Hard Claw Tribe vanished again, because they all turned into the Eastern Court person. ” 他们不再把你视作力量的化身,他们也不再崇信部落的神明,他们现在还在学习东廷的文字和语言,眼前或许看不出来,可下一代,再下一代人,或许坚爪部落就消失了,因为他们全都变成了东廷人。” Ekuru smiled, said: „I acknowledged some truth that you said that however the Hard Claw Tribe person turns into the Eastern Court person not to have nothing well,” he took up an apple to gnaw, „they can regard the oneself person us.” 埃库鲁笑了起来,道:“我承认你说的有些道理,但是坚爪部落的人变成东廷人也没什么不好,”他拿起一个苹果啃了起来,“他们就可以把我们当成自己人了。” The women said: „That I asked one, then your people obtained them to want, what then you also obtained, Great Tribe Chief?” 女人说道:“那恕我问一句,那么你的子民得到了他们想要的,那么你又得到了什么,大酋首？” Ekuru kept a serious look, he said earnestly: „I obtained the lots, the truth, the justice and humanity, Zhongxin and civilization, the etiquette, had these, even if my body puts on the animal skin, still no longer was wild barbarian.” 埃库鲁表情严肃起来,他认真说道:“我得到了很多东西,道理,仁义、忠信、文明,礼仪,有了这些,就算是我身上穿着兽皮,也不再是一个野蛮人了。” Female looks at he said: „If you believe in these, then your god will abandon your.” 女子看着他道:“如果你信奉这些,那么你的神明会抛弃你的。” Ekuru is without hesitation saying: „That made it leave, the present is it needs us, rather than we needed it.” 埃库鲁毫不迟疑道:“那就让它离开好了,现在是它需要我们,而不是我们需要它。” Female nodded, she stands saying: „I knew the meaning of Great Tribe Chief, Great Tribe Chief, if changed the idea, can look for us again.” She puts on the table a fine bronze medal. 女子点了点头,她站起来道:“我知道了大酋首的意思,大酋首如果改主意了,可以再来找我们。”她将一枚精致的铜牌放在案上。 „Takes your thing,” Ekuru is also stood up, „I will not need thing like this again , you can call my present Celestial Xia name, Ai Chengjian!” “把你的东西拿回去吧,”埃库鲁也是站了起来,“我不会再需要这样的东西,还有,你可以叫我现在的天夏名,艾承坚！” The females have not received the bronze medal, looked at his one eyes, walked directly. 女子没有把铜牌收回去,看了他一眼,就直接走出去了。 At the same time sits reveals to worry about the look in Priest Kam that had not spoken, said: „Great Tribe Chief, we rejected her, this really good?” 坐在一边一直没有吭声的喀莫祭祀露出担忧神色,道:“大酋首,我们拒绝了她,这样真的好么？” Ekuru said: „Kam, you thought that is the present day is good, is the beforehand day is good?” 埃库鲁道:“喀莫,你觉得是现在的日子好,还是以前的日子好？” Kam returns carefully said: „In Great Tribe Chief series jurisdiction, I feels very well, but...... the present was better than before.” 喀莫小心回道:“在大酋首的统治下,我觉得都挺好,不过……现在是比以前好一些。” Ekuru gets to the entrance of mansion, said: „ Beforehand Hard Claw Tribe, what we see is what? One flock of wild animals, except for prey on all day, the multiplication, anything does not know, anything does not understand, the brain is bloody and slaughters, before me, is this. 埃库鲁走到大宅的门口,道:“以前的坚爪部落,我们看到的是什么？一群野兽,除了整天捕食,繁衍,什么都不知道,什么都不懂,满脑子都是血腥和杀戮,就连我以前也是这样。 oh, perhaps god, but he except for requests from us unceasingly, what can also bring to us? Regains the belief? Snort, making us turn into the wild animal? ” 哦,或许还有一个神明,可他除了不断向我们索取,又能给我们带来什么？重拾信仰？哼,让我们重新变成野兽吧？” Kam said cautiously: „But god sheltered us after all......” 喀莫小心翼翼道:“可是神明毕竟庇护了我们……” Ekuru denies immediately: „No, accurate, was we hires it, we offered sacrifices to it, but it was responsible for protecting us, in the person like Auspicious Light City hired our soldiers, did not have it, we can also have other thing to make the substitution.” 埃库鲁立刻否定道:“不,准确来说,是我们雇佣了它,我们给它献祭,而它负责保护我们,就像瑞光城里的人雇佣了我们的战士一样,没有了它,我们也可以有别的东西做替代。” His looks at Priest Kam, said: „Kam, you should be very clear, your strength is never god grants, but is your oneself implores the myriad things to come day after day, god needs, is to make you offer again the strength that oneself obtains laboriously, although he to you a benefit, but is far inferior your payout, do you feel like this fairly?” 他看着喀莫祭祀,道:“喀莫,你应该很清楚,你的力量从来不是神明赐予的,而是你自己日复一日祈求万物得来的,神明所需要的,就是让你把自己辛辛苦苦获得的力量再奉献上去,他虽然会给你一点甜头,但是远不及你的付出,你觉得这样公平么？” Outside his looks at, said: „The Eastern Court person who I think had words to say very well, we did not need god, because our oneself was god.” 他看着外面,道:“我觉的东廷人有句话说得很好,我们不需要神明,因为我们自己就是神明。” Priest Kam asked: „That Tolotti......” 喀莫祭祀问道:“那托洛提……” Ekuru walked the entrance, the crowd that under the looks at sunlight walks back and forth, on the face of everyone was full of the hope, before rather, such ignorant is living. 埃库鲁走了大门口,看着太阳光下走来走去的人群,每个人的脸上充满了希望,而不是以前那样浑浑噩噩的活着。 He said: „Now, we do not need it.” 他道:“现在,我们已经不需要它了。” After the mask-wearing woman leaves the Hard Claw station, rides a horse runs toward the south, after quite a while, she stopped before wooden shed under hillside, before wigwam gate, is inserting a wooden rod, above dyes ponytail to flutter in the wind. 戴面具的女人离开坚爪驻地之后,骑马往南方奔走,半天之后,她在一个山坡下的木棚子前停了下来,棚屋门前插着一根木杆,上面染色马尾在风中飘动着。 The wigwam curtain raises, walks old priest, said: „What kind of? I have said that Ekuru will not approve of your, he is not Hard Claw Tribe Great Tribe Chief, he is an alien race person.” 棚屋门帘一掀,走出来一个年老的祭祀,道:“怎么样？我早就说过,埃库鲁是不会赞同你的,他已经不是坚爪部落的大酋首了,他已经是一个异族人了。” The women said: „Then you are willing to cooperate with us?” 女人道:“那么你愿意和我们合作么？” Old priest said: „I obtained Tolotti divine decree, will tell that I can control the section numerous, according to your ideas does.” 老祭祀说道:“我得到了托洛提的神谕,会吩咐我能控制部众,按照你们的想法来做。” The women said: „Your choice is correct.” 女人道:“你的选择是正确的。” Old priest said: „The choice of god, should not comment by our mortal.” 老祭祀道:“神明的选择,不该由我们凡人来置评。” The women said: „In that case Tolotti's sacrifice, what do you prepare to start?” 女人道:“那么托落提的祭祀,你准备什么开始呢？” Old priest is just about to speak, suddenly on the face showed the listening respectfully expression, later said: „The quicker the better, great God of Slaughter has wanted to share the gods grand feast impatiently.” 老祭祀正要想说话,忽然脸上露出了聆听的表情,随后才道:“越快越好,伟大的杀戮之神已经迫不及待的想要分享诸神的盛宴了。” ...... …… ...... ……
