The curtain of nighthas arrived, the guardpointis on fire, the entirecastleis brilliantly illuminated, actuallyquietly.
夜幕已经降临,侍卫点起了火把,整个城堡灯火通明,却又静悄悄地。Under the flame of candlestick, a Eirenepersonsitsbefore the table, swallows a bread, drinksclear water, thenaskednearbymaidservant: „Hasn't Graycome back?”
烛台的火光下,依琳一个人坐在餐桌前,咽下一口面包,饮一口清水,然后问旁边的侍女:“格雷还没回来吗?”„Alsono.”
“还没有。”„Does not knowwhichcompletelyhedid go?”
“完全不知道他去哪了吗?”„Does not know. Young lady, needsto send peopleto look for?”
“不知道。小姐,需要派人出去找一下吗?”Eireneis carryingcup that packs the clear water, hesitant.依琳端着装满清水的杯子,犹豫着。„Perhapsyoushouldlook atthis, myMissEirene.”Abby Robertswalkedfromout of the doorin a hurry, puton the Eirenetable the newspaper that oneentirefolds.
“也许您应该看一看这个,我的依琳小姐。”艾比罗伯斯匆匆从门外走了进来,将一整叠的报纸放到了依琳餐桌上。„What is this?”
“这是什么?”„Thisis the whereabouts of BaronGray. Yes, histoday'swhereaboutsnewspaperentire journey reported that butwehave not even noticed. Blamesme, usuallydoes not read the White Citynewspaper. Otherstoldmemeto notice.”
“这是格雷男爵的行踪。是的,他今天的行踪报纸全程报道了,而我们甚至都没有注意到。都怪我,平时不怎么看白城的报纸。还是别人告诉我我才注意到的。”Takes up the newspaper, Eirenewas pressedbrowplacesto look.
拿起报纸,依琳蹙着眉头一张张地看了起来。
......
……At this moment, Grayis still riding a horseto shakeon the avenue. The tabloidreporters who the sidecloselyfollowshave fallen down from wearinessseveralto dial, however, Grayisthatenergetic. In fact, lichthistype of thing, alwaysenergetic, theyevencanseveral hundredyearswatch. Canpreventonlytheir, probablyonly thenskeletonstrain.
此时此刻,格雷还在大街上骑着马晃悠呢。身边紧紧跟着的小报记者都已经累倒几拨了,然而,格雷还是那么精力充沛。事实上,巫妖这种东西,无时无刻都精力充沛,他们甚至能几百年不眠不休。唯一能阻止他们的,大概只有骨骼劳损了吧。Therefore, somelichexchanged the steelskeletontooneself, someevenseveralsteelskeletons, are taking turnsusing. As the matter stands, the skeletonstraincould not preventtheircuriositytothisworld.
于是,有些巫妖给自己换上了钢铁骨骼,有的甚至有几副钢铁骨骼,轮换着用。这样一来,骨骼劳损也阻止不来他们对这个世界的好奇心了。Ifmustask that Grayalsohadanything to sayat this moment, the answercanbeprobably: „I can also the liver!”
如果要问格雷此时此刻还有什么想说的,答案大概会是:“我还能肝!”Looking into the distance, the streetis but empty, alreadyalmostno one.
可是放眼望去,街道空荡荡的,已经几乎没有什么人了。Yes, Sundescended the mountain, the tabloidreportersare about„liver”to be motionless, smallhas gotten off workstrangelycompletely, aslich of playerexpresseshimalsoto be able„liver”.
是的,太阳都下山了,小报记者都已经快“肝”不动了,小怪已经全部下班,身为玩家的巫妖表示他还能“肝”。Thisis a howdesperatematter.
这是一件多么令人绝望的事情呀。„Helpedany...... thistodaycarry outverywellfrom the person who Isought help, Ithought that Ishouldbe ableto checkinthisabove. Insucheight, Ihave at least completedone.”
“帮助任何向我求助的人……这一条今天已经执行得很好了,我觉得我应该可以在这上面打个勾。这样八条里,我至少已经完成一条了。”„Tolovesfaithfullyuntil death......, thisdid not have the meansto be completedin any casetemporarily. Youthought that Iasked a marriagetoMissShelleyagain, will shecomply?”
“对所爱至死不渝……嗯,这一条反正暂时是没办法完成了。你觉得我再向雪莱小姐求一次婚,她会答应吗?”„In fact, Gray, thesepledgesdo not wantyouto do thatimmediately, butwhenyoumeet, adheres to the principle. Understandsmymeaning?” The black catlow voiceremindersaid.
“事实上,格雷,这些誓言并不是要你立即这么去做,而是当你遇见的时候,坚持原则。明白我的意思吗?”黑猫小声提醒道。„Iunderstand. HoweverIreallyhave nootherthingsto do . Moreover, pledgesandnot fulfilled, alwaysthought where has is not right. lichoftendid not pledge.”
“我明白。不过我实在没什么其他事情可以做,而且,发了誓又没履行,总觉得有哪里不对。巫妖并不经常发誓。”„Good, youcontinue......”
“好吧,那你继续……”„Braveresistanceviolent...... thisis a little difficult. After allIarrive at the ground is so long, has not run into the violentperson. Canencircle, whenmetthensaid. Laterruns into the violentperson to seize the opportunityto defeathim!”
“勇敢对抗强暴……这个有点难。毕竟我到地面这么久,还没遇到强暴的人。可以圈起来,等遇到了再说。以后遇到强暴的人一定要抓住机会打败他!”„Fighting againstallmistakes...... thiswas too general. Whatiswrong, Iestimated that does not have the standard. Reallytroublesome.”
“抗击一切错误……这个太笼统了。什么是错误,我估计也没有标准。真是麻烦。”„Does not harmanywoman......! Unexpectedlyhasthis, Ido not remember! Ihad not counter-attackedShelleyfortunatelya moment ago, otherwisethisdestroyed. Ilikethis, anythingdoes not needto docanhitto take the hook. As the matter stands, Icompletedtwo! Onlyis left oversix!”
“不伤害任何妇女……哇!居然有这条,我都不记得了!还好我刚才没有反击雪莱,不然这条就毁了。我喜欢这条,什么都不用干就可以打上勾。这样一来,我就完成两条了!只剩下六条!”„Fights...... this should for the weaponlessperson is not difficultto complete, but must first have a weaponlessperson, attackshisperson. Nowapparentlydoes not have, perhapsIwill meettomorrow. Perhaps can also completewith‚braveresistanceferocious adversary’!”
“为手无寸铁的人战斗……这个应该不难完成,但首先得有个手无寸铁的人,还有一个攻击他的人。现在显然没有了,也许我明天会遇到。说不定还能和‘勇敢对抗强暴’一起完成!”„Treats the friend of minesincerely...... isquitegeneral, whatissincere?”
“真诚对待我的朋友……又是好笼统,什么叫真诚呢?”„Helpsmyknightbrothers...... this should be very easy, tomorrowIask that Horusneedsmeto do.”
“帮助我的骑士兄弟……这个应该很容易,明天我去问问霍尔斯需要我干什么。”„Wú...... actuallyGray.”black catsaidlow voice: „Youhave thoughttheseeightpledgesdon't existalone?”
“唔……其实格雷。”黑猫小声说道:“你有没有想过这八条誓言并不是单独存在的?”„What do you mean?”Graygawked.
“什么意思?”格雷愣了一下。„Youlook, beforetheseeightpledges, ‚courteous, honest, pities, heroic, fair, the sacrifice, the honor, believed’, thiswasknighteightbigvirtue. ‚Helpsmyknightbrothers’issixth, whatcorrespondencewas‚sacrifice’. In other words, ‚helpsmyknightbrothers’finger/refer, shouldbewhenoneselfknightbrothersencounter the danger, youare willingto sacrificeyourintereststo take riskforthem.”
“你看,在这八条誓言之前,还有‘谦恭,正直,怜悯,英勇,公正,牺牲,荣誉,信仰’,这是骑士八大美德。‘帮助我的骑士兄弟’是第六条,对应的是‘牺牲’。也就是说,‘帮助我的骑士兄弟’指的,应该是当自己的骑士兄弟遇到危险的时候,你愿意牺牲自己的利益为他们冒险。”„Youlook atthisagain, ‚braveresistanceferocious adversary’, whatcorrespondenceis‚courteous’. Itsrealmeaningshouldbe the ferocious adversary that resists the innermost feelings, does not turn into a violentperson. Rather thanmakesyoufind a violentpersonthento hithis.”
“你再看这条,‘勇敢对抗强暴’,对应的是‘谦恭’。它的真实意思应该是对抗自己内心的强暴,决不变成一个强暴的人。而不是让你找一个强暴的人然后打他一顿。”„Probably...... issuchmatter.”Graywas convinced, opened the mouth, graspspen„”inhandto fallon the ground.
“好像……是这么回事。”格雷一下被说服了,张大了嘴,握在手里的笔“啪嗒”一声掉在地上。Perhaps this is the first time that heexpressed the supportfor the view of black cat. Therefore, encouragedblack catwas then said: „This, ‚helpsanyfromperson who Iseek help’, whatitcorrespondsis‚heroic’, in other words, itsrealmeaningshouldbewhenothersseek helpfromyou, youshould notflinchbecause ofspiritless, shouldextend the aidbravely. Rather thanmakesyouseekeverywhere‚fromperson who youseek help’.”
这也许是他第一次对黑猫的看法表示赞同。于是,受到鼓励的黑猫接着说道:“还有这条,‘帮助任何向我求助的人’,它对应的是‘英勇’,也就是说,它的真实意思应该是当别人向你求助的时候,你不应该因为懦弱而退缩,应该勇敢地伸出援手。而不是让你到处寻找‘向你求助的人’。”ThisistoGrayfatalstruck.
这是对格雷的致命一击了。„Youmeant, I‚liver’wrongdirection? Wait, where do Ilearn‚liver’thisword? Considers as finisheddoes not manage. Yousaid,Ido waste timetoday?”
“你的意思是说,我‘肝’错方向了?等等,我从哪里学到‘肝’这个词的?算了不管了。你是说,我今天白忙了?”„Isthismeaningright.”
“是这个意思没错。”„! No!”Rodeskeletal horse, Grayis covering the helmetto scream.
“啊!不!”骑着骨马,格雷捂着头盔尖叫了出来。Comparingslightlygot off work the playerto express that strangely can also „liver”despair, was the playerdiscoveredprobablyoneself„liver”oneall daycompletely„liver”wrongdirection.
相比小怪下班了玩家表示还能“肝”更绝望的,大概就是玩家发现自己“肝”了一整天完全“肝”错方向了吧。Nowveryobviously, Graymeetsisthissituation.
很显然,格雷现在遇到的就是这种情况。
Is humansowhy troublesome? Can'thonestlysaying that wantsto say? Pledged that can also guess a riddle?
为什么人类这么麻烦呢?就不能老老实实地把想说的说出来吗?发个誓还要猜谜?„It is not good! Ineed‚being deeply grieved’! Thiswas too poignant!”Grayis covering the chest, seemshimto have a mindcanpain.
“不行!我需要‘悲痛欲绝’一下!这太让人痛苦了!”格雷捂着胸口,就好像他有心可以痛似的。„Do not be sad, Gray, are you first time worked as the knightafter allnot? The people, lichalwaysdoes not have the mistaketime.”Looks atGray, black catexudes the sympathysuddenly.
“别伤心,格雷,你毕竟是第一次当骑士不是吗?人,哦不,巫妖总有错的时候。”看着格雷,黑猫忽然泛起了同情心。„Ok, Ihave endedsadly. Nowmakesuscome to seeaccording to the new standard, in the eveninghas somethingto do.”Saying, Grayspread out the pledgeparchmentto startto ponder overearnestly.
“好了,我已经悲伤完了。现在让我们来看看按照新标准,晚上有什么可做的。”说着,格雷又摊开了誓约羊皮纸开始认真地琢磨。„, Yoursadnesssuchshort?” The sympathy that black catjustexudedwas choked to deathinstantaneously. Inpledgedat heartsecretly,this whole lifedid not comfortthissillylich. No, the next generationdoes not comfort!
“哦,你的悲伤这么短暂的吗?”黑猫刚刚泛起的同情心又瞬间被掐死了。在心里暗暗发誓,这辈子再也不安慰这只傻巫妖了。不,下辈子也不安慰!
......
……Looksalmosttakesallpage layouts, had the newsaboutGray, Eirenesmiles.
看着几乎占据所有版面的,有关于格雷的消息,依琳都笑了。„Actuallythereforeheis doing?”
“所以他究竟在干什么?”„MissEirene, Ithinksyoubecausehisbehaviormaydamageourrelationswith the Gregory Familyto worry.”
“依琳小姐,我以为您会因为他的行为有可能损害我们跟格鲁格鲁家的关系而着急。”„Youthought that possiblyharms?”
“你觉得可能损害吗?”„Will definitely harm. After allrelated toMissShelleyreputation/honorary.”
“肯定会损害的。毕竟涉及雪莱小姐的名誉。”„Yes. ButCountGregorythatold foxis notwill change the mindbecause ofthismatter. Ifhethinks that helpsusbe disadvantageoustohisfamily, will then not havethismatterhenot to standuseven. Ifhethought that helpsusbe favorableforhisfamily, had/leftthismatter, he may also take advantage of opportunityto propose that letsGray and Shelleyengagement. Thissimplyis an excellentexcuse.”
“是的。但格鲁格鲁伯爵那只老狐狸可不是会因为这点事而改变主意的。如果他认为帮助我们对他的家族不利,那么即使没有这件事他也不会站在我们这边。如果他觉得帮助我们对他的家族有利,出了这件事,他可能还会顺势提出让格雷和雪莱订婚。这简直就是一个绝佳的借口。”„Was I am narrow.”Abby Robertssaidrespectfully.
“是我狭隘了。”艾比罗伯斯恭敬地说道。Puts the one side the newspaper, Eireneconfessesto sayin a soft voice: „Continuesto urge that CountCaspardispatches troops, mustgraspwithregionalaristocrats'negotiations. Ourtimeare not much, the kingpossiblyorderedto dispatch troopsmomentarily. The armyis under intensive construction. The Graymattertemporarilydo not manage, in any case, wedo not know the knight who his strengthhowshouldtrain.”
将报纸放到一旁,依琳轻声交代道:“继续催促卡斯帕伯爵发兵,跟各地贵族的谈判也要抓紧。我们的时间不多了,国王随时都可能下令发兵。军队加紧训练。格雷的事情就暂时不要管了,反正,我们也不知道他这种实力的骑士应该怎么训练。”„Yes.”
“是。”
......
……„Well, heremanypeople.”
“咦,这里好多人。”Rodeskeletal horseGrayto stopbefore the theater.
骑着骨马的格雷在剧院前停了下来。
The capitalasBecherduchy, was a bigcity. However, normalin the evening is also nothingpedestrian. The shop on avenuebasicallyclosed, except forthreeplaces, tavernandtheater, withbathhouse.
身为贝希尔公国的首府,算是个不小的城市了。不过,正常来说晚上也是没什么行人的。大街上的店铺基本都关门了,除了三个地方,酒馆、剧院,和澡堂。BathhouseGraydefinitelycannot go, the tavernhas gone, althoughis not the White Citytavern. The As fortheater...... itoneattracted the Grayattention.
澡堂格雷肯定是去不了的,酒馆已经去过了,虽然不是白城的酒馆。至于剧院……它一下就吸引了格雷的注意力。
The words saying that thistheater is very upscale.
话说这剧院还挺高档的。Looks that large quantities ofstreams of peopleflooded into the brilliantly illuminatedtheater, the lichcuriosityare hung. Hestares at the theaterto looksteadily. Butall aroundpersonstares athimto look.
看着大批的人流涌进灯火通明的剧院,巫妖的好奇心又被吊了起来。他目不转睛地盯着剧院看。而四周的人则盯着他看。„Isn't thisBaronGray?”
“这不会是格雷男爵吧?”„Reallyishe! Ihave seenhimintoday'snewspaper!”
“真的是他!我在今天报纸上看到过他!”„Does healsolikewatching the living theater?! Imustsitbyhim! Perhapscanberomanticmeeting withalsoperhaps!”
“他也喜欢看舞台剧吗?哇!我要坐在他旁边!也许会是一次浪漫的邂逅也说不定!”Disregarded the surroundingperson'sdiscussion, the Grayvisionslidesquietly, fallsin the bulletin of theater.
无视周围人的议论,格雷的目光悄悄下滑,落到了剧院的告示上。„100copper cointickets, a frontsilver coinseat, twobuildingboothstaketensilver coins.”
“一百个铜板一张票,前排一个银币一个座位,二楼卡座要十个银币。”Grayputs out a handto trace, discovered that copper coindoes not have.格雷伸手摸了摸,发现身上一个铜板都没有。„Does thisplacego inalsoasks for money?”
“这地方进去还要钱?”„Otherwise?”
“不然呢?”„Cangive credit?”
“可以赊账吗?”„Where do youlearn‚giving credit’thisword?”
“你从哪里学到‘赊账’这个词的?”„PerhapsIshouldgo to a tavernto winsomemoneyto come backagain.”
“也许我应该再去一趟酒馆赢些钱回来。”WhileGrayglances right and leftto look for the taverntime, the boss in theaterhas arrived in front ofhimin a hurry.
正当格雷左顾右盼找酒馆的时候,剧院的老板已经匆匆来到他面前。„Are youBaronGray?”
“您是格雷男爵吧?”„Yes.”Graylooks downfacesmiling obsequiouslystands the theaterbossbeforehorse.
“是的。”格雷低头看着一脸谄笑站在马前的剧院老板。„Do youwantto watch the living theater? Igiveyouto arrange the positionbestboothimmediately!”
“您是要来看舞台剧吗?我马上给您安排位置最佳的卡座!”„ButIdo not havemoney.”
“可是我没钱。”„Youmeant that youhaven't hadmoney?”
“您是说您没带钱?”„No, Ido not havemoney, has the belt/bring. Moneyall spent.”Graysaidconfidently.
“不,我是没钱,不是没带。钱都花完了。”格雷坦然地说。
A childnoknight? The scene was very once awkward.
一个子都没有的骑士?场面一度很尴尬。However, thisisin the city the rightredcharacter! Such goodsignboard, how can the theaterbosslet off?
不过,这可是城里正当红的人物!这么好的招牌,剧院老板怎么能放过呢?
After shortsilence, the theaterbosscalls loudly: „No! Does not spend money! Ourtheatersare permanenttoBaronGray!”
短暂的沉默之后,剧院老板高声喊道:“不!不用钱!我们的剧院对格雷男爵永久免费!”„Real?”
“真的吗?”Under the theaterboss'sinvitation, Graytied up the horsecheerfully, entered the theater.
在剧院老板的邀请下,格雷乐呵呵地拴好了马,走进了剧院。„Humanlifeform, althoughis very troublesome, is very frail, is very puzzled, has no merit to speak ofsimply, butactuallyaccidentally/surprisinglyfriendly. Ialsoverylike.”
“人类这种生物,虽然很麻烦,很脆弱,很纠结,简直一无是处,但却意外地友善呢。我还挺喜欢的。”„Did youforget itselfto be chased downbyhuman?” The black catlow voicewhispersaid.
“你忘了自己被人类追杀过了吗?”黑猫小声嘀咕道。Walksurgentlyto tellin a low voiceto the service personin the behindtheaterboss: „Quickly! Toldeveryone! ToldtheirBaronGrayto watch the opera here! Hurry up!”
走在后面剧院老板急切地对着服务员低声吩咐道:“快!去告诉所有人!告诉他们格雷男爵在我们这里看歌剧!快点!”„Good!”
“好!”Canhold over 1000peoplegrand theatersfully, Grayis arrangedcentertwobuildingbooths. In factthisis the Becherfamily'sexclusivebooth. Reason thatwill havethisbooth , because the theaterconstructs the Eirenefatherhas donated moneyto the theater. Althoughlaterhas not used.
足可以容纳一千人以上的大剧院,格雷被安排在了二楼正中的卡座。实际上这是贝希尔家族的专属卡座。之所以会存在这个卡座,是因为剧院兴建的时候依琳的父亲给剧院捐过钱。虽然之后并没有怎么用过。Grayis the Becherfamily'sperson, MissEirenewill definitely not mind that Graydoes usethisbooth? The theaterbossthinks.格雷也是贝希尔家族的人,依琳小姐肯定不会介意格雷使用这个卡座吧?剧院老板想。In the bigboothtook a seat a Grayperson, tobelowstage.
偌大的卡座里就坐了格雷一个人,正对着下方的舞台。„DearBaronGray.” The theaterbossrubsboth handsto sayfull of enthusiasm: „Weperformtonight, is latest opera«KnightBecoming a useful adultGuideSequel». Does not know how youdo feel?”
“亲爱的格雷男爵。”剧院老板摩擦着双手兴致勃勃地说道:“我们今晚表演的,是最新的歌剧《骑士成材指南续集》。不知道您觉得怎么样?”„Real?”Hearsthistitle, Graywas excitedimmediately.
“真的吗?”听到这个剧名,格雷顿时兴奋了起来。„Thisghostthingnot onlyreorganizes the opera, but alsopublished the sequel?”Hearsthistitle, a shock of black catface.
“这鬼东西不只改编歌剧,还出续集了?”听到这个剧名,黑猫一脸的震惊。Thisspecialisn't an unsalablebook?
这特么不是一本滞销书吗?Endedended, justbroke off a right trackpointwith great difficulty, must be broughtcrookedly.
完了完了,刚刚好不容易掰回正轨一点,现在又要被带歪了。
