„Are you Egyptperson? Brings a catalong, unexpectedlygives back to the catfirstto doto eat.” When thisisevening'scampingMetatroasked the Amon'swords. Hekeeps the gold/metalbrownshortcurly hair, the skin is very white, bridge of the noseto be highandstraight, the appearanceis handsome, in the minds of mostyoung girlsinthisworld, hissmiling face is very certainly charming, smiles the tooth that revealsverywhite/in vain is very neat.
“您是埃居人吗?随身带着一只猫,居然还给猫先做吃的。”这是晚上宿营时梅丹佐问阿蒙的话。他留着金棕色的短卷发,皮肤很白、鼻梁高且直,模样非常英俊,在这世上大多数少女的心目中,他的笑容一定很迷人,笑起来露出的牙齿也很白很整齐。Amonaskedpuzzled: „Whyfirstgives the catto doto eat, is the Egyptperson?”阿蒙不解地问道:“为什么先给猫做吃的,就是埃居人?”Metatro: „The Egyptpersonworships the cat, regards as the Spiritual God the cat the incarnation, only thenthiswill so love a cat, younot?”Whenhesees clearlyto rescueoneselftheMage is so unexpectedly young, in the heart is also surprised, butAmonhas not introduced the oneselforiginon own initiative.梅丹佐:“埃居人崇拜猫,将猫看作神灵的化身,只有这样才会如此宠爱一只猫,难道您不是吗?”当他看清救下自己的这位神术师竟然如此年轻的时候,心中也是惊讶不已,可是阿蒙并没有主动介绍自己的来历。Amonsmilesto reply: „, Thiscatis a friend of myelder, holdingmeto look afteritwell. Itrulycome fromEgypt, namedAmon, verysmallonstudyMagic Technique, butuntil nowalsomerelyisSecond LevelMage. Yousaida moment agoRoyal CapitalBabylon City of oneselffromBabylon Kingdom, whywill arrive atthisHittitesdomesticremote mountain?”阿蒙笑了笑答道:“哦,这只猫是我一位长辈的朋友,托我好好照顾它。我确实来自埃居,名叫阿蒙,很小就学习神术了,但到现在为止也仅仅是一位二级神术师。刚才你说自己来自巴伦王国的王都巴伦城,为什么会到这哈梯境内的深山来?”Sincewere desperate under a moment agohas exposedoneselfto meetMagic Technique, pushes the boat alongsimplypretends to beonefromEgypt'sMage, Metatrois in any case impossibleto verifyhisstatus.
既然刚才情急之下已经暴露了自己会神术,索性顺水推舟就冒充一位来自埃居的神术师,反正梅丹佐也不可能查证他的身份。Metatro: „Hittites? InhereBabylon!......, Alsomight bememake a mistake, heredid not have the obviousbeacon. To be honest with you, mypaternal great-grandfather is also Mage, butinhischaos caused by warlong agosacrificedhere, Iamseek forhisvestige. RespectableMage, why will yougo to such hard and dangerousremoteplace?”梅丹佐:“哈梯?这里巴伦境内!……嗯,也有可能是我搞错了,这里本来就没有明显的界标。不瞒您说,我的曾祖父也是一位神术师,可是他在很久之前的战乱中牺牲在这里,我是来寻找他的遗迹的。尊敬的神术师,您又为什么会来到这么艰险偏僻的地方?”Amonrememberedanythinginexplicably, gawkedto reply: „Mypurpose in comingandyouare similar, high priestmanyyears ago herelost a thing, orderingmeto findit, andtoldmethis is also an experience.”阿蒙莫名想起了什么,愣了愣才答道:“我的来意和你差不多,一位大祭司多年前在这里失落了一件东西,命令我把它找到,并告诉我这也是一种历练。”Metatroblurted out: „Youoffendedhim, sendingyousuchyoungMageto cometohere?”Immediatelyalsoexplainedone: „Ihave not offendedyourmeaning, butspoke thoughtlessly a saying.”梅丹佐脱口而出道:“您是不是得罪他了,派你这么年纪轻轻的神术师到这里来?”随即又解释了一句:“我可没有冒犯您的意思,只是随口一说。”Amonactuallydoes not mindwaves: „Thistrulyis a penalty, ismyoneselfhas the matterto do not well, is willingto acceptsuchpenalty.”阿蒙却毫不介意的一挥手:“这确实是一种惩罚,是我自己有事情做得不好,也愿意接受这样的惩罚。”Metatrosaid with a smile: „Generalhigh priest is impossibleto go through the remote mountainto rush tohere, helost certainlyanythingwhenin the airFlying, ifnearbythis, Icanfind the personto help.”梅丹佐笑道:“一般的大祭司是不可能穿行深山跑到这里来的,他一定是在空中飞行时遗落了什么,如果就在这附近的话,我可以找人帮忙。”Amonis astonished saying: „Finds the personto help? Whatperson can herefind? Your isn't oneselflooks forancestor'svestige?”阿蒙讶道:“找人帮忙?这里能找什么人?你自己不也是来找祖先的遗迹吗?”Metatroalsoexplained: „Ihave comehereseveraltimes, knewneighborbiggestdwarfTribe. Theyshouldbe the most familiarthisperson, canaskthemto helpyouseekto lose the thinginmountain.”梅丹佐又解释道:“我已经来过这里好几次了,结识了附近最大一个矮人部落。他们应该是最熟悉这一带的人,可以请他们帮你寻找遗落在山里的东西。”Amon: „cavemansavage? Do youandtheirTribe have to do? Todaywhat’s going on, will youalarmtheseArmored Beasttothatpool? Ihave not seenthatvariationArmored Beast.”阿蒙:“穴居野人?你和他们的部落也打交道?今天又是怎么回事,你怎么会到那个水潭惊动那些铁甲兽?我从没有见过那种变异的铁甲兽。”Metatrosomewhatembarrassedreplying: „I, althoughhad not foundancestor'svestige, actuallymixedwithheredwarfTriberipe, regularlyexchanged something withthem. ThisTribeothergoodthingactuallynot to have met the smeltingfineironembryo, isveryvaluable. Butmythese yearscommunicationremote mountainalsoneededmoney, thereforemadesomeexchangeswiththem, here possiblyBabylon, wasn't the smuggling?”梅丹佐有些不好意思的答道:“我虽然没有找到祖先的遗迹,却和这里的矮人部落混熟了,经常和他们交换一些东西。这个部落别的好东西没有却会冶炼精铁胚,是很值钱的。而我这几年来往深山也需要钱,所以和他们做些交换,这里可能还是巴伦境内,也不算走私吧?”Regardless ofwhichcountry the fineiron is the officialcontrols the salespecially, personal conducts thistypeto trademanyto have the illegalsuspicion, butAmonalsobeing disinclinedmanagesthis others 's business, askedfreely spoken: „Youareseek for the ore? Alsowantspersonally the smeltingfineiron?”
精铁无论在哪个国家都是官方专控销售,私人进行这种交易多少有违法的嫌疑,不过阿蒙也懒得管这种闲事,顺口又问道:“那你是来寻找矿砂的吗?难道还想亲自冶炼精铁?”Metatrostares: „You the first time are notcame, knowsheredoes havemosthigh qualityfineiron oresand?”梅丹佐一愣:“您不是第一次来吗,怎么也知道这里有最上等的精铁矿砂?”Amonshrugs saying: „Iindeed the first time am, butin the Armored Beastexcrementcanwashmosthigh qualityfineiron oresand, thisI have long known!”阿蒙耸了耸肩道:“我的确是第一次来,但铁甲兽的粪便里可以淘出最上等精铁矿砂,这我早就知道啊!”Metatrowas startled, the facial expressionin the flamecast light uponbecomesverystrangely, scolded a vulgar languageto saylow voice: „The so-calledmosthigh qualityMage Steeloreraw material, is the Armored Beastexcrement! ThatdamnPatriarchmaynot haveto tellme.”梅丹佐怔住了,神情在火光照映中变得很古怪,小声的骂了句粗话才说道:“所谓最上等的马革钢矿砂原料,原来是铁甲兽的粪便!那个该死的族长可没有这么告诉我。”Amonwas also startled: „, Youdo not know, howothersdid tellyou?”阿蒙也怔住了:“啊,原来你不知道啊,那人家是怎么告诉你的?”Metatrosayingbitterly: „ HereTribeproducesmosthigh qualityfineironembryo, is much bettercompared with the commonfineiron, is calledMage Steel there, carries overoutside the mountain a scrap to makea lot ofmoney, but the outputis few. Iasked that Patriarchcanmake? Patriarchsaid that the oreis difficultto pick, said that in the mountainhad the silt of waterlakesidedepositionto containbestCordovanjust the ore. ButhasArmored Beast Kingto liveinpool, the words that wantsto collectare dangerous, theirclansmando not dareto come.梅丹佐恨恨的说道:“这里的部落出产最上等的精铁胚,比一般的精铁要好得多,在我们那里被称作马革钢,带出山外一小块就能赚不少钱,但是产量很少。我问族长能不能多弄点?族长说矿砂难采,又说山里有个水潭边沉积的淤泥富含最好的马革刚矿砂。但有铁甲兽王居住在水潭里,想采集的话非常危险,他们的族人都不敢来。Iponder am also Middle LevelWarrior, copes withArmored Beast King should not to have the issue, thereforecameononeselfquietly. To cutto killArmored Beast Kingto makethesedwarf have a look atmyfierce. Patriarchthatfellowhas not toldmeto havefour, withouttelling my oreis the Armored Beastexcrement. FinallyIalmostdelivered the lifehere, metyouluckily. ”
我自忖也是一名中阶武士,对付一只铁甲兽王应该没问题,于是就自己悄悄来了。想斩杀铁甲兽王让那些矮人也看看我的厉害。族长那家伙可没告诉我有四只,更没告诉我那矿砂就是铁甲兽的粪便。结果我差点把命送在这里,幸亏遇见了您。”Amonlooks that hishehesmilesto make noise, thislaughteris getting bigger and bigger, thenMetatroalsosmiled. Two peoplelaughrelatively, transmits the intermittentechoin the nightmountain. Dozing offSchrodingerraised the headverydiscontentedlylooked atthese twooneeyes, the facial expression seemed saying that- hadanythingto be funny! Loses face?阿蒙看着他不禁呵呵笑出了声,这笑声越来越大,然后梅丹佐也笑了。两人相对哈哈大笑,在夜晚的山中传来阵阵回音。正在打瞌睡的薛定谔抬起头很不满的看了这两人一眼,神情仿佛在说-有什么好笑的!丢人不丢人?
......
……Next day after Sunraises, Amonis leaning on the branchat the back ofSchrodinger , to continue under the leadership of Metatrotoward the high placewalks. Althoughhedid not plan that makescavemansavageTribehelponeselflook for the Bairwhereabouts, butinquired that thisnearbyhaswhatnoteworthyplaceto be always useful.
第二天太阳升起之后,阿蒙拄着树枝背着薛定谔,在梅丹佐的带领下继续向高处走去。虽然他并不打算让穴居野人部落帮助自己寻找贝尔的下落,但是打听一下这附近有什么值得注意的地方总是有用的。cloudYuan on high mountainlooks atlikely the sea of float, entered for the third time looked likeindistinctfog, Amonquickhas passed throughcloud layer. Arrives at the halfway, heheardfrontto have the soundsuddenly, staffstopped saying: „Metatro, fronthas the soundprobably, does not seem like the animal, looks like the footsteps of personvery much.”高山上的云远看像漂浮的海,走进了又像一片飘渺的雾,阿蒙已经快第三次穿越云层了。走到半路,他突然听见了前面有动静,一顿法杖停了下来道:“梅丹佐,前面好像有声音,不像是动物,很像人的脚步。”Metatrojumpsto leapto a bigstone, raises the swordto lookforward, after a whilesuddenlyshouted: „Linke, your old codger, hurries!...... Youquitedeceivemeto be miserable, looked how Itidy upyou!”梅丹佐纵身跃到一块大石头上,提剑向前望去,过了一会突然喝道:“林克,你这老不死的,赶紧过来!……你骗得我好惨,看我怎么收拾你!”Onegroup of people the woods that made a turnfrommountain roadwalked, was a thatpersonis„old codger who”Metatroscolded, heseemed like the age is not big, shouldonly have about 30. The skin coloris slightly black, butinthese people have calculated that whitest, puts onclothes that the animal skinsews, onfootalso the shoes of pair of hempstraw braid, heisin the middle ofthesepeopleputs on shoesonly, isin the mountaincavemansavageTribePatriarch.
一群人从山路转弯的树林间走了出来,为首那人就是梅丹佐骂的“老不死的”,他看上去年纪并不大,应该只有三十左右。肤色稍黑但在这些人当中已经算最白的,穿着兽皮缝制的衣服,脚上还有一双麻草编的鞋,他是这些人当中唯一穿鞋的,也是山中穴居野人部落的族长。LinkeseesMetatro, hurriesto go forward saying: „Youwere unfair tome, Iheard that youwent to the Armored Beast Kinghousing the cold pondminingsand, the darknessdid not have the meansto look foryou, dawninwarrioroncollectionentire clansavedyou.”林克一见到梅丹佐,赶紧上前道:“你可是冤枉我了,我听说你去铁甲兽王居住的寒潭采矿砂,天黑了没办法来找你,天一亮就集合族中的勇士来救你了。”Looks atLinkeagainbehindwith more than 30„warrior”, insomehandstakes the crudebow and arrow, sometake the wooden handleto tie up the lance of ironhead, the weapons of severalpeopleare very interesting, is the tall and slenderandroughflatfineiron bar, rubbedoneoperated the bladesharp, canpuncture can also cut, buthas not builtto become the shape of blade.
再看林克的身后跟了三十多名“勇士”,有的手里拿着简陋的弓箭,有的拿着木柄绑着铁头的长矛,还有几个人的武器很有意思,就是细长而粗糙的扁精铁条,磨尖了一面开刃,可以刺也可以砍,但没有打造成刀的形状。
The figures of thesepeople are not too short, butPatriarchLinkesaid that theyarein the clanmost capablewarrior, shouldbehighest, butis also similar to the averageheight of average adult, it seems likecavemansavageis calleddwarfalsoto have the reason.
这些人的身材也不算太矮,不过族长林克说他们都是族里最精壮的勇士,个头都应该是最高的了,但也就和普通成年人的平均身高差不多,看来穴居野人被称为矮人也不是没有原因。MetatrosawLinketo jumpfrom the stone, struck an attitude to knockhisheadwith the ridges: „Yousavedme, IearlybyArmored Beasteating! Wasn'tsaysArmored Beast King? HowImetfour!”梅丹佐一看见林克就从石头上跳了下去,用剑脊作势欲敲他的脑袋:“等你来救我,我早被铁甲兽给吃了!不是说有一只铁甲兽王吗?我怎么碰见了四只!”Linke„” a mouthopened the eldest child, inshort staffwithhandemptykept off. His short staffdoes not know that makeswithwhatwild beastbone, abovealsoembedParangons, looked likeMagestaffunexpectedlyvery much.林克“啊”了一声嘴张得老大,用手里的一根短杖虚挡了一下。他这根短杖不知道是用什么野兽的骨头制成,上面居然还镶嵌了一枚神石,很像神术师的法杖。Hesizes upMetatroto sayup and down: „Can youalsocome backsafely? Yesterday the wordshad not talked clearlyyouronepersonto walkquietly, Iurgedyoudo not gorepeatedlyarbitrarily. Youmeetis notArmored Beast King, butguardsGreat Armored Beast of king of beastslair, Armored Beast Kingmustgenerallytolate at nightcoming out....... FourGreat Armored Beast! Are youall right?”
他上下打量着梅丹佐道:“你还能安全回来?昨天话还没说清楚你就一个人悄悄走了,我可是一再叮嘱你不要擅自去的。你碰见的不是铁甲兽王,而是看守兽王巢穴的大铁甲兽,铁甲兽王一般要到后半夜才出来活动。……四只大铁甲兽啊!你没事吧?”Metatropulls out a yellowblackfivecuns (2.5 cm)longsharpuncinusthingfrom the pocket, is„spoils of war that”heobtainedyesterday, thatbeastclaw that a swordcuts, someshowing offshook saying: „Youhave a look atthisareanything! LuckilynobleMagehelpedme, wasIcutsthissharp clawspersonally.”梅丹佐从兜里掏出一支黄黑色五寸多长的尖钩状东西,就是他昨天获得的“战利品”,一剑斩下的那根兽爪,有些炫耀的晃了晃道:“你们看看这是什么!幸亏有一位高贵的神术师帮助了我,是我亲手斩下了这根利爪。”
The peopleexpress an exclamation, someLinkeenvyinglooked in the Metatrohandthatclaw, askedonecuriously: „Mage, whatMage? Isyourfriend?”
众人发出一声惊叹,林克有些羡慕的看了看梅丹佐手中那根爪子,好奇的问了一句:“神术师,什么神术师?是你的朋友吗?”Metatroself-satisfiedreplying: „Not is only the friend of mine, ismysavior, old fogy who your has not experienced. Even hasn't Mageheard? Mayprobablybe fiercer than your a few tricks!”梅丹佐得意的答道:“不仅是我的朋友,还是我的救命恩人,你这个没见识的老家伙。连神术师都没听说过吧?可比你那两下子要厉害多了!”Amonwalkedfrom the bigstoneat this time, thesecavemansavagehave not heardMage, exempted the trouble of self introduction. Wheneveryoneonlyheis the Metatrofriend, is the guest in Tribe, was greetedon the mountainwithMetatrotogether.阿蒙这时才从大石头后面走了出来,这些穴居野人连神术师都没有听说过,也免了自我介绍的麻烦。大家只当他是梅丹佐的朋友,也是部落里的客人,与梅丹佐一起被迎接到山上。ThisTribereallyhas„cavemansavage” the characteristics, constructonsmoothBanpo under not a highstone wall, hasmanynaturalcavernsalong the stone wall, passed throughartificialexcavatingto live. In the biggestcavernlitonefires, hasclansmanto bring the firewoodto makethispile of firecombustionnot extinguishevery dayin turn, itisentireclanallotherspublicfire hazards.
这个部落果然有“穴居野人”的特点,建在一片不高的石壁下的平坦半坡上,沿石壁有很多天然的洞穴,又经过了人工的开凿可以居住。最大的洞穴内点燃了一堆火,有族人每天轮流取来木柴使这堆火燃烧不灭,它是全族所有人家的公共火源。Althoughheredwarfwill have made a firewith the flint, butthatfires are also the onesymbol of entireclan, burnsbigcave that catches fireto be equivalent toTemple in generalsmall town, the open field before cave entrance is also the entireclansmanassemblyplace. On the hillsidenot far from Shek Pikalsohas the house, with the lumber and bushesbuild, on the wallalsowiped the mud, althoughcrude, butis also firm.
虽然这里的矮人已经会用燧石取火,但那一堆火也是全族的一种象征,燃着火的大山洞就相当于一般市镇里的神殿了,洞口前的开阔地也是全族人集会的地方。离石壁不远的山坡上也有房屋,用木材和茅草搭建,墙上还抹了泥浆,虽然简陋但也坚固。Livesin the houseisin the clan the positionhighperson, Metatrolooks like very here respected, the housegiveshimto livespecially, Amonalsolivesinthisthatched roofed hut.
住在房子里的都是族里地位较高的人,梅丹佐看来在这里很受尊敬,专门有一间房子让给他住,阿蒙也住在这座草房里。On this daydusktime, inTribehas an assembly, onegroup of peoplegather roundturning circle that onepile of firewoodjumpin the open area, each otheris transmittingthatbeastclaw that Metatrocuts, imitatesmovement that varioustypesare dividingto cut, like the beastclawisgeneral that theironeselfcuts, the appearance that the facial expressionis infatuated withvery much.
这天黄昏的时候,部落中有个集会,一群人在空地上围着一堆柴蹦蹦跳跳的转圈,将梅丹佐砍下的那一根兽爪彼此传递着,模仿着各种劈砍的动作,就像兽爪是他们自己砍下来的一般,神情很陶醉的样子。FightsArmored BeastAmonandMetatrowith joint forcessitsin the most honoredposition, beforethatcave entranceandPatriarch that Linkeare burning the fire of high-piled firewoodin the same place. Smallsound said of Metatronear the Amonear: „Thisis a theyday of happiesttime, has danced to jumpextinguishesto the fire of high-piled firewoodwent backto sleep.”
合力斗铁甲兽的阿蒙与梅丹佐坐在最尊贵的位置,就在那个燃烧着火堆的大洞口前与族长林克在一起。梅丹佐在阿蒙耳边小声道:“这是他们一天最高兴的时候,一直跳舞能跳到火堆熄了才回去睡觉。”Amonalsoaskedlow voice: „Do theytakethatclawto do? Shapesare drunk.”阿蒙也小声问:“他们拿着那根爪子在干什么?一个个都像喝醉了酒。”Metatro: „Thatisceremony, was fantasizingobtainsto cutto kill the wild beaststrength, givesthem the confidence and courage, does not needto dreadin the hunting, everycansucceedonetime, in any caseis a witchcraftprayer.”梅丹佐:“那是一种仪式,幻想着获得斩杀野兽的力量,给他们信心和勇气,在狩猎的时候不必畏惧,每一次都能成功,反正是一种巫术祷告吧。”During the speeches the weatherhas gotten darkgradually, dwarftakes a branchto go to bigcaveto make a fire, mustlight the firewoodpile in open areaevidently. A matter that AmonremembersOld Lunaticto leave behindinInformation that mentionssuddenly, the handgraspedfineironto stand, anotherhandflew high a firewoodpile of finger/refers of distant place.
说话间天色已经渐渐黑了下来,有一名矮人拿着一根树枝去大山洞里取火,看样子是要去点燃空地上的柴堆。阿蒙忽然想起老疯子留下的信息中提到的一件事,手握精铁枝站了起来,另一只手凌空一指远处的柴堆。
The windis circlingto blowtogetheraround the firewoodpile, in the windpresentedbeam of lightandbeam of lightto turn into the hotsilk and hotsilkto change into the flameandflame that the tonguejumpedto lightfuel/thinstackin the wind. AlthoughsimplestFire ElementsummonedMagic Technique, butcoordinatedAir ElementMagic Techniqueto display, the effectappearedbothmysteriousanddazzling.
一道风打着旋绕着柴堆吹起,风中出现了亮光、亮光变成了火丝、火丝在风里又化为舌状跳跃的火苗、火苗点燃了柴堆。虽然只是最简单的火元素召唤神术,但配合气元素神术施展出来,效果显得既神奇又炫目。Is gathering rounddwarf that the fire of high-piled firewooddancesto actto stop, turns circle others who sitalsoto stand, thenAmonseeseveryoneto crawlto salutetowardhim, a facerespectandterrifiedappearance. PatriarchLinkeis also salutingtohim, Amonheardinhismouthclearly saying: „Spiritual GodEmissary, youbroughtwere warmandbright!”
正在围着火堆跳舞的矮人们动作都停了下来,转圈坐着的其他人也都站了起来,然后阿蒙就看见所有人都朝着他匍匐行礼,一脸崇敬与惶恐的样子。族长林克也在向他行礼,阿蒙听见他口中分明在说:“神灵的使者啊,您带来了温暖和光明!”Metatroseeseveryoneto do this, standsto bowto salutetoAmon, actuallypushedquietly the crowdedeyesmallsound said: „Youare really good, thiswas too attractive! What a pityIam notMage, otherwisehas played.”
身边的梅丹佐见大家都这样做,也站起来向阿蒙躬身行礼,却悄悄挤了挤眼睛小声道:“您真行,这一手太漂亮了!可惜我不是神术师,要不然早就这么玩了。”
