This Sunday air/Qi not, the top of the head always has been dusky, the Karl van Bate mood is also same as the weather, low and deep to the extreme. 这个星期天气一直不算好,头顶总是灰蒙蒙的,卡尔.梵伯特心情也跟天气一样,低沉到了极点。 Walks on the wet stone slab street, once for a while some people greeted to him-- in this small town, Karl was managing school. Different with school that Greycastle these noble juniors can go study, similarly the children who he faces the general publics teach. Therefore in Border Town, he has the considerable high prestige. 走在湿漉漉的石板街上,时不时有人向他打招呼——在这座小镇里,卡尔经营着一间学院。和灰堡那些贵族子弟才能就读的学院不同,他同样面向普通民众的孩子们授课。因此在边陲镇,他有着相当高的声望。 „Heh, Mr. van Bate, good morning.” “嘿,梵伯特先生,早上好。” „Sir, does my son display fortunately?” “先生,我的儿子表现得还好吗？” „When has free time, Karl, fishes together.” “什么时候有空,卡尔,一起去钓鱼吧。” Usually the Karl association is smiling response they, but he nods today, a few words had not said. 平时卡尔总会微笑着的回应他们,但今天他只是点点头,一句话都没说。 Since witnessing the Anna death by hanging, the world in his eyes presented crack-- or from leaving Greycastle this crack has existed, but he looked but not see intentionally. He uses the busy work to lull itself, but the student naive pure smiling face to a certain extent has also covered up the crack. 自从目睹了安娜的绞刑后,他眼中的世界出现了裂纹——或者说从离开灰堡起这道裂纹就一直存在,可他故意视而不见。他用忙碌的工作麻痹自己,而学生天真单纯的笑容也从某种程度上遮掩了裂纹。 Until Anna died, he discovered that this world not any change. That fissure not only has not vanished, instead expanded. 直到安娜死去,他才发现,这个世界并没有任何改变。那道裂痕不仅没有消失,反而扩大了。 Regarding Anna, his memory stay six months ago. She is not conspicuous in the school more than 30 children, the ordinary appearance, the words are not many, but a little makes Karl impression profound. 对于安娜,他的记忆停留在半年前。她在学院30多名孩子中并不显眼,普通的模样,话也不多,但有一点让卡尔印象深刻。 That is her enthusiasm to the knowledge. Regardless of teach anything, the writing is also good, the history, she can always first remembering. Even including him to think that the arid religious evolution history, the opposite party can also hold to write books to have a liking for one all day. He also once saw the little girl to help to look after sheep-- of neighbor family/home under the sunlight, Anna is brushing the wool to the lamb carefully, the movement gentle resembles attendance baby. That picture he still remembered very clearly, girl's smiling face is delightful, in any event impossible and evil hang swallow the bait. 那就是她对知识的热情。无论自己教什么,文字也好,历史也罢,她总能第一个记住。甚至连他自己都觉得枯燥的宗教演变史,对方也能捧着书看上一整天。他也曾见过小姑娘帮忙照料邻居家的羊——在阳光下,安娜细心地给羊羔刷着毛,动作轻柔的像照顾婴儿。那副画面他至今仍记得很清楚,女孩的笑容甜美怡然,无论如何都不可能和邪恶挂得上钩。 Afterward the block had a fire, the Anna mother has elapsed unfortunately, Anna has not come school again. Until one week ago, she was proven is witch, strangles in the town center square. 后来街区发生过一场火灾,安娜的母亲不幸逝去,安娜也没再来学院。直到一星期前,她被证明是女巫,绞死在镇中心的广场上。 Was enticed by Devil? Unclean person? evil? All talks nonsense! In his heart first time has had the suspicion to Holy Church, first time has had the suspicion to the knowledge that oneself taught. 被魔鬼诱惑？不洁之人？邪恶者？全是放屁！他心中第一次对教廷产生了怀疑,第一次对自己传授的知识产生了怀疑。 Is Anna witch he does not know, but a evil word is not one's turn her! If still under age, can be called the evil words to the world ignorant and curious girl, the executive officials in that Greycastle are come from Devil of hell to be right! For several hundred gold royal, changes secretly the stone material intentionally, when causes the new area theater construction more than half has collapsing, more than 30 Stonemason meeting members were therefore killed. 安娜是不是女巫他不知道,但邪恶一词怎么也轮不到她！假如一个尚未成年,对世界懵懂而充满好奇的女孩也能被称为邪恶的话,那灰堡里的行政官员们都是来自地狱的魔鬼才对！为了几百枚金龙,故意偷换石料,导致新区剧院建设过半时发生垮塌,30多位石匠会成员因此丧命。 But on them hanging post? Does not have! The judge judged finally the Stonemason meeting leader constructs improper, will impose the exile, Stonemason will order to dismiss. But knows Karl of inside story to avoid the crest of wave, has to be tied down by care of one's family to flee Greycastle, to the west, finally arrives at Border Town. 但他们上绞刑架了么？一个都没有！法官最后宣判石匠会领袖建设不当,处以流放,石匠会勒令解散。而知道内情的卡尔为了躲避风头,不得不拖家带口逃离灰堡,一路向西,最终来到边陲镇。 He has set up school, has many students, knew the new neighbor, new friend, but the crime of Greycastle performance engraves throughout in the mind. Now, what of did he feel world ridicule-- again is evil, various God of space really can see clearly? 他办起了学院,拥有许多学生,认识了新邻居,新朋友,但灰堡上演的罪行始终刻印在脑海中。现在,他再一次感受到了世界的嘲弄——到底什么是邪恶,天上的诸神真能看得清楚吗？ Crushes the Karl last straw is Nana. 压倒卡尔的最后一根稻草是娜娜瓦。 Nana and Anna are different, even can say completely opposite. She is an extremely lively girl, is also quite famous in school. So long as does not attend class, is very rare she has the idle time, does not ride on the tree teases the bird, lies in the lawn sways back and forth. Asked that she does do, she chortles good one first, answer said that is listening to the grasshopper and ant quarrels. 娜娜瓦和安娜不同,甚至可以说完全相反。她是个极为活泼的女孩,在学院里也颇有名气。只要不上课,就很少见她有停歇的时候,不是骑在树上逗鸟,就是趴在草地里打滚。问她干什么呢,她先咯咯笑上好一阵,才回答说在听蚱蜢和蚂蚁吵架。 On the face of Nana is always full of happy expression, this seems her instinct. This pitiful poverty-stricken world has nothing to do with her, at least in school, she can freely smile. Karl even curious-- does she play from the birth has cried now? 娜娜瓦的脸上总是充满笑意,这似乎是她的天性。这个悲惨困苦的世界与她无关,至少在学院里,她可以一直无忧无虑地笑下去。卡尔甚至有一丝好奇——她从出生起到现在有哭过吗？ Until two days ago, a Nana face employed professional mourners to find him, „will teacher, I same be strangled with Anna?” 直到两天前,娜娜瓦一脸哭丧地找到他,“老师,我会和安娜一样被绞死吗？” He only knows, own student, Nana Pine, became witch. 他这才知道,自己的学生,娜娜瓦.派恩,也成为了一名女巫。 "Ah, that is not Mr. van Bate! Invited here, helping us have a look at anything that this above wrote. ” “啊,那不是梵伯特先生吗！请来这边,帮我们看看这上面写的什么。” Karl felt that some people in pulling his sleeve, his raised head come, discovered oneself do not know when has arrived by the small town square. Many year of people are shouting anything regarding the call-board, hears the van Bate name, everybody made way to say on own initiative. 卡尔感到有人在拉扯他的袖子,他抬起头来,发现自己不知何时已走到了小镇广场旁。许多年人围绕公告板嚷嚷着什么,听到梵伯特的名字,大家都自觉让开了一条道。 „You came skillfully the mister, helping us have a look.” “您来得太巧了先生,帮我们看看吧。” „Yes, is Meg that fellow has read, finally said that the belly pain goes to bathroom, has not come back to the present.” “是啊,本来一直是梅格那家伙读的,结果说肚子痛去上厕所,到现在都没回来。” If usually, he definitely with a smile will nod, then content on the call-board will explain that listens in detail to the people. But now Karl discovered oneself cannot achieve the smiling faces of-- these people and warm does not fake, but for him, actually the ratio wears the forced smile the mask to be hard to make one endure. 若是平时,他肯定会笑着点头,然后将公告板上的内容详细解释给众人听。但现在卡尔发现自己做不到——这些人的笑容和热情不似作伪,但对他来说,却比戴着假笑的面具更难以令人忍受。 Strangles the Anna bulletin also like this to paste above, everybody is also so jubilantly discussed. In some sense, you are the murderers, he was saying at heart, your ignorance and have killed her ignorantly. 绞死安娜的告示也是这样贴在上面,大家也是如此兴高采烈地讨论。从某种意义上来说,你们都是凶手,他在心里说,你们的无知和愚昧杀死了她。 Under Karl restrains by force the mood, inspired, arrives in front of the announcement list. 卡尔强压下情绪,吸了口气,走到公告榜面前。 „Prince recruits the manpower to construct Border Town, the work of many scales are available,” he discussed. “王子征召人手建设边陲镇,有多种档次的工作可供选择,”他念道。 But I am also one of the murderers, what qualifications also there is to blame them? Told them witch is the person of evil is not just oneself? Karl only thought that the corners of the mouth flood painstakingly, took a look at me to say anything to the children, was going by the book to the Church doctrine, but also thinks that said well, damn! 但我也是凶手之一,又有什么资格去责怪他们？告诉他们女巫是邪恶者的人不正是自己吗？卡尔只觉得嘴角泛苦,瞧瞧我都跟孩子们说了些什么,对着教会教义照本宣科,还自以为讲得不错,见鬼！ „stone grinder, the request male, 20 to 40 years old, the body strong body is strong. Every day reward 25 copper royal.” “碎石人,要求男性,20岁至40岁,身强体壮。每天报酬25枚铜鹰。” „Mud craftsmen, the sex does not limit, over 18 years old, there is a masonry and building experience, every day reward 45 copper royal.” “泥工匠,性别不限,18岁以上,有砌筑经验,每天报酬45枚铜鹰。” „handyman, request male, over 18 years old, every day reward 12 copper royal.” “杂工,要求男性,18岁以上,每天报酬12枚铜鹰。” „......” “……” No, he must make anything, if the Anna death were beyond any help, then at least cannot make Nana make same mistakes over again. In the Karl heart has a sound to shout, when Stonemason meets the destruction he has not stood, when Anna was strangled he has not stood, must be like this silent, looks helplessly these lovable children were delivered the gallows? 不,他必须做点什么,如果安娜的死已无可挽回,那么至少不能让娜娜瓦重蹈覆辙。卡尔心中有个声音在呼喊,石匠会覆灭时他没有站出来,安娜被绞死时他也没有站出来,难道自己要这样一直沉默下去,眼睁睁地看着这些可爱的孩子被送上绞架？ What can he make? Brings Nana to flee Border Town-- he to have own family, the whole family drifts about destitute to come here from Greycastle, did situation just have to change for the better must leave? Not to mention Nana can on the family background in the abundant family, the life of being of no fixed abode she bear? 可是他又能做什么？带着娜娜瓦逃离边陲镇么——他有自己的家庭,一家人从灰堡颠沛流离来到这里,情况刚有好转又要离开？更别提娜娜瓦自己就出身于富足家庭,居无定所的生活她受得了吗？ „Stonemason, the sex does not limit, the age does not limit, every participates in person of the municipal construction, stronghold and fortification all being possible, City Hall recruits for a long time, every month reward 1 gold royal.” “石工匠,性别不限,年龄不限,凡参与过市政建设、要塞、工事之人皆可,市政厅长期招募,每月报酬1枚金龙。” „Supplementary provision: The experience is rich, displays outstanding, may award the government position.” “补充条款:经验丰富,表现优异者,可授予官职。” The bulletin reads off, the people have made noise, „each month 1 gold royal reward, this compared favorably with the Longsong Stronghold troop!” 告示读完,众人已经喧闹起来,“每月1金龙的报酬,这都比得上长歌要塞的骑兵队了！” „But your meeting? Builds a latrine pit not to be agile, but also constructs stronghold?” “可你会吗？垒个粪坑都不利索,还建要塞？” „You leave are only staring at this, front several are also very good, words that every day the reward gives, calculates that does not compare to go hunting few many.” “你们别光盯着这个,就前面几项也很不错啊,每天报酬都给的话,算下来不比打猎少多少。” „Truly, went hunting may also lose the life, place that Hidden Forest casually cannot go.” “确实,打猎还有可能把命丢了,迷藏森林可不是随随便便能去的地方。” Karl van Bate has not paid attention to these, his completely attention centralized in bulletin final seal and signature. That is the Fourth Prince Roland Wimbledon's genuine signature. 卡尔.梵伯特没有关注这些,他全部注意力都集中在告示最后的印章和签名上。那是四王子罗兰.温布顿的亲笔签名。 The prince does not know that shortly after was Months of Demons? Regardless of he wants to construct anything, this moment operation is not a good opportunity. It seems like Your Highness Wimbledon to constructing to know nothing, if can cause him to pay attention with the reputation of Stonemason meeting...... In the Karl heart has had an idea suddenly, perhaps through this recruiting, he can see the prince-- Border Town's highest leader of laws. 难道王子不知道没多久便是邪魔之月了吗？无论他想建什么,此刻开工都不是个好时机。看来温布顿殿下对建设一窍不通,倘若自己能用石匠会的名头引起他注意……卡尔心中突然冒出了一个想法,或许通过这份招募,他可以见到王子本人——边陲镇的最高执政者。 This thought made Karl swallow a saliva, convinced the prince to believe witch not evil? Passed on a message the His Highness the Prince idea to be unique, the disposition and average man were different, moreover loathed Church extremely. Perhaps accepted! He thinks, finally what although ordered to strangle Anna was Prince Roland, may be able to see that he did not prefer. 这个念头让卡尔吞了口口水,说服王子相信女巫并不邪恶？传言王子殿下想法独特,性格与常人不同,而且极为厌恶教会。说不定行得通！他想,尽管最后下令绞死安娜的是罗兰王子,可看得出他并不情愿。 Prince is about 20 years old over, he should be easier to understand, these were still at the young young girls, suddenly will turn into the crime not to be possible amnesty the disciple of evil? 王子本人不过20岁出头,他应该更容易理解,那些尚处在豆蔻年华的少女们,又怎么会突然变成罪不可赦的邪恶之徒？ Naturally a possibility, that is he is also regarded the witch same party members, delivers hanging post together. The Church regulation has clearly stipulated, any harbors witch or is witch plea, should regard as to be content to the fallen evil disciple. 当然还有一种可能,那就是他被当成女巫的同党,一起送上绞刑架。教会律法有明确规定,任何包庇女巫或为女巫求情者,都应视作自甘堕落的邪徒。 Only can place hopes to loathe Prince Church's to treat as the scrap paper the Church's regulation similarly. 只能寄希望于厌恶教会的王子同样将教会的律法当做废纸了。 Karl prayed in the heart. 卡尔在心中祈祷。 Although does not know that which gods prayer should, he still closed both eyes, the hope blessing. 尽管不知道该向哪位神明祷告,他仍闭上双眼,祈求祝福。 For dead Anna, to also living Nana, for the crack in his heart no longer expanded. 为了死去的安娜,为了还活着的娜娜瓦,为了他心中的裂纹不再扩大。 He decides to take risk. 他决定冒这个险。
