Rolandsuspectedwhetherfor a whileoneselfmisunderstood, „what?”罗兰一时怀疑自己是否听错了,“什么？”Scrollbites the lip, has duplicated.书卷咬咬嘴唇,又重复了一遍。Thistimehebelieves firmly that is not the sense of hearinghad problems, originally will witchsocaretoownmarital problem? „Youdetermined that witchisn't ableto give birth? Isbecause...... Certainreasons, thushas caused the wrongunderstanding? For examplebeforehandHoly Mountain.”
这次他确信不是自己听觉出了问题,原来女巫会对自己的婚姻问题如此关心吗？“你确定女巫无法生育？是不是因为……某些原因,从而导致了错误的认识？比如说之前的圣山。”„Myalsohopeisthis,”shesighed, „was a pity that manyexamplesconfirmedthis, and average personwas togethernormally, was forced, did not haveexample--Cooperation Association that witchgave birth tonot to have, otherwitchorganizationshave not heard.”
“我也希望是这样,”她叹了口气,“可惜许多例子都证实了这点,无论是和普通人正常相处,还是被人强迫,都没有女巫生育的例子——共助会没有,其他女巫组织也未听说过。”
" Reproductionisolation " ...... In the Rolandbrainappearsthis kind ofwords and expressions. witchhas exceeded the average personreallycompletely, became the new generation, isn't ableto breed the descendantwitholdhuman? Said, becausemagic powergathers in within the body, thephenomenon that thuscauses?
「生殖隔离」……罗兰脑中浮现出这样一个词语。难道女巫真的已经完全超越普通人,成为了新人类,以至于无法和旧人类孕育后代？还是说,因为魔力汇聚在体内,从而导致的这一现象？Howevernowis notgetting to the heart of the mattertime, hethinks, the keyisitsinfluence. Will thiswantto get married the idea of witchto form the hindrancetooneself?
不过现在不是追根究底的时候,他想,关键在于它的影响。这会对自己想要迎娶女巫的想法形成妨碍吗？Rolandfirstthinks is Anna.罗兰首先想到的便是安娜。Althoughcannotraisedescendantto be a little regrettablewithAnna, the premise that buthewill like the childestablishes to the affection of Anna, not having the childnot to reducethisaffection. Moreoverhashim of modernsoulregardingone, the descendantandhisrelationshave not looked likebloodlinesinheritancethatimportant that the ancientemphasized. As the independentlifeindividual, he childregards asowndoes not continue the--latteralready unable to inherit the thought that alsocannotinheritmemory, butis an independentperson.
虽然不能和安娜养育后代有点遗憾,但他会喜欢孩子的前提是建立在对安娜的喜爱上,没有孩子并不会减少这份喜爱。而且对于一个拥有现代灵魂的他来说,后代与他的关系远没有像古人强调的血脉传承那么重要。作为单独的生命个体,他并不把孩子视为自己的延续——后者既不能传承思想,也不能继承记忆,而是一个独立自主的人。Thereforefrom the emotion, he can definitely acceptwitch unable to give birth tothis.
所以从情感上,他完全可以接受女巫无法生育这点。Thenonly the barrier--successorissues in remainingrealities. However, thistolooking overRoland of river of history is still not any thornymatter, onlywithestablishingonedid not need the empire of successorto be good, thisimplementedto havemanychoicesspecifically, after hecan, consideredagainslowly.
那么只剩下现实中的障碍——继承人问题。不过,这对纵观历史长河的罗兰来说依然不算什么棘手的事,只用建立一个不需要继承人的帝国就好了,这点具体实施起来有很多选择,他可以之后再慢慢考虑。
The synthesis, the Rolandsurpriseddiscovery, thisunexpectedlyis a significantadvantagegoodnews.
综合来看,罗兰惊讶的发现,这竟是一个重大利好消息。Howto constructnew generationwitch and average personcanlive in peace together, issue that the socialframe of common progress, after isheandNightingaletalked in the night, thencontinuouslypondered. Buthe discovered that even ifthere isGod Punishment Stoneto contain, so long as the timeis longenough, witchandtheirdescendantassociationsformmore formidablecommunity--, even if the technological progressmakes the average personalsobe ableto usemagic power, is unable to make up forwitchin the intelligence, memory and comprehensivelead in thoughtspeed.
如何构建一个新人类女巫和普通人能和平相处,共同进步的社会框架,是他与夜莺夜谈后便一直在思考的问题。但他发现,即使有神罚之石遏制,只要时间足够长,女巫和她们的后代总会形成更强大的群体——哪怕科技发展到让普通人也能够使用魔力,仍无法弥补女巫在智力、记忆、思维速度上的全面领先优势。Butnowheis actually informed, witchis unable to give birth. Inthisenormousdegreehas avoided the formation of familygroup, weakened the barrier between witchcommunity and average person, simultaneouslymadehimseehope that bothjointlyadvanced together.
而现在他却被告知,女巫无法生育。这极大程度上避免了家族集团的形成,削弱了女巫群体和普通人之间的隔阂,同时让他看到了两者携手共进的希望。Perhapsis the time that ponderis too long, Nightingalecould not bearholdhisarm.
或许是自己思考的时间太久,夜莺忍不住抓住了他的胳膊。Rolandrecoversfrom the train of thought that hiscomfortracket the back of the hand of opposite party, clearsettled the throat saying that „before , Ithink that Istillthinknow.”罗兰从思绪中回过神来,他安慰似地拍拍对方的手背,清了清喉咙说道,“之前我是这么想的,现在我仍这么认为。”„......”Scrollhas gawkedmoment, „what?”
“……”书卷愣了片刻,“什么？”
The hand on armgraspedinstantaneously.
胳膊上的手瞬间抓紧了。Rolandcannot bearsmileto make noise, beforehealsosuspected that misunderstood, nowwas one's turn the opposite party? Hecoughstwo, said: „NowIstillthink that--Iam willingto marrywitchfor the wife.”罗兰忍不住笑出声来,之前他还自己怀疑是否听错了,现在轮到对方了吗？他咳嗽两声,重新说道:“现在我仍这么认为——我愿意娶女巫为妻。”
......
……
When Scrollleaves the expressionis very strange, likelyiswell satisfied, somemoved, looks atRolandto be confused.书卷离开时的表情很奇怪,像是心满意足,又略带些伤感,看得罗兰一头雾水。Hehasto inquireNightingale, „shefortunately?”
他只好询问身边的夜莺,“她还好吧？”
The latterdoes not haveanswer, butissmileis looking atRoland, the sunlight of out of the windowshinesonherfairface and mild-manneredhair, is much more beautiful.
后者没有回答,而是微笑地望着罗兰,窗外的阳光映照在她白皙的脸庞和柔顺的头发上,明媚得让人心动。„Good,”Rolandturns away, „whenyourverywellwas happy.”
“好吧,”罗兰移开视线,“就当你们心情都很不错好了。”At this moment, the gate of officewas sounded, „your highness, Longsong StrongholdcameKnight, hesaid that has the information to giveyou.”
就在这时,办公室的门被敲响了,“殿下,长歌要塞来了位骑士,他说有情报要交给您。”„Leadshimto go to the reception room, Ilater.”
“带他去会客厅,我稍后到。”
When the princeenters the hall, Knightstridesimmediately, kneel on one kneesaid,„SirPetrovmakesmetellyou, Timothy Wimbledonsent the envoygroup, arrived inLongsong Stronghold.”
王子走进大厅时,骑士立刻跨步过来,单膝下跪道,“培罗大人让我告诉您,提费科.温布顿派来了使者团,已经抵达长歌要塞。”„envoygroup?”Rolandhesitates saying that „how manypeopletheydid come?”
“使者团？”罗兰沉吟道,“他们来了多少人？”„Altogether about 50people.”
“一共50人左右。”That seemed like the persuading to quitteam, hethinks,was only the words of diplomatic means that tooneselfradicallysuperficial, „theywhen?”
那看来是劝退队了,他想,只是外交手段的话,对自己根本不痛不痒,“他们什么时候到的？”„Yesterday morning,”Knightwhispered, „SirPetrovmadememake the best use of the time, gave you newsnoticeas soon as possible.”
“昨天上午,”骑士沉声道,“培罗大人让我抓紧时间,尽快将消息通知给您。”Has only usedday of time, perhapsin the eveningis holding the flareto hurry along, „was laboriousyou, rested for dayto returnwellagain.”Rolandlooksto the guard, confesses saying that „grantsgold royaltohim, leadinghimto go to the hotel.”
只用了一天时间,恐怕晚上都在举着火把赶路,“辛苦你了,好好休息一天再返回吧。”罗兰望向侍卫,交代道,“赏赐一枚金龙给他,带他去旅馆。”
After Knightleaves, one side Rolandwantsto putthismatter, no matter, 50people of teamsdo not threatentosmall townafter all, onlytonegotiatewords, team leadersinglerelease/placecome inthen. Howeverthinks that Petrovsuch being the caseprudenttreatment, oneselfwhen necessaryknows the whereabouts of envoygroupto be quite good.骑士离开后,罗兰本想将这事放到一边不管,毕竟50人的队伍对小镇毫无威胁,仅是为了谈判的话,单放领队进来即可。不过想到培罗既然如此慎重的对待,自己还是随时掌握住使者团的行踪比较好。Thinks ofhere, hehas drawn onLightningandMacy, makingthemone after the otheron the wayfly tostrongholdto examinesituation.
想到这里,他招来了闪电和麦茜,让她们一前一后顺路飞往要塞查看情况。
After a double-hour, twowitchthencomplete the detection, returned to the castle.
一个时辰后,两位女巫便完成侦查,回到了城堡。„Withoutanydiscovery,” the Lightningreport said that „Knight that the Knightteam that onroadhas not seen50people of scales, leaves behindhas not seenone.”
“没有任何发现,”闪电报告道,“路上并未看见50人规模的骑士队伍,就连落单的骑士都没看见一个。”„Has not seengu!”Macyconfirmed.
“没看见一个咕！”麦茜确认道。It seems like after theymake a long and wearisome journeyarrives in the bigcity, needstooneselfto look for a pleasure, under the alleviation the exhaustedbody. Rolandfelt relieved, „before the envoygrouparrives, youevery dayalong the roadinvestigate.”Hispaused, „was right, did the map that beforeyoudrewhowcomplete?”
看来他们长途跋涉抵达大城市后,需要给自己找点乐子,缓解下疲惫的身躯。罗兰放下心来,“在使者团抵达前,你们就每天沿路侦查一次把。”他顿了顿,“对了,之前你画的地图完成得怎么样了？”„Has put togetherseveral hundredprobably, almostcanpile up with the Sorayaroom,”Lightningsaid,„shetransferred to the map the backyardnow, canhave a look?”
“大概拼了几百张,差不多都能把索罗娅的房间堆满,”闪电说,“她现在已经把地图移到了后院里,要不要去看看？”„Good,”Rolandsaid with a smile.
“好啊,”罗兰笑道。
The castlebackyardturned into the botanical garden, since the Seanbeltcomes back the cropsseed of Port of Clear Water, heretype of thingwas all sorts of strange and unusual. For the save the land and flower-bed, Leafhas put upwooden framein the sky, letsmanyplantslike the grapevine, twines the rackto grow, evenclimbed up the halfwall of castle. Thennowbehind on the castlewall surfaceis hanging the grape, apple, wheat and sugar cane, witchesis all rightconvergesin the backyard, breaks offsomefruits and sugar canesfrom the walleats. What a pitythesecropsmustbe ableto growunderLeafmagic power, can only calculate not completelysuccessfultest piece.
城堡后院已经变成了植物园,自从肖恩带回来碧水港的作物种子后,这里种的东西就更加千奇百怪了。而且为了节约土地和花坛,叶子在上空搭起了木架子,让许多植物像葡萄藤那样,缠绕架子生长,甚至爬上了城堡的半边墙壁。现在城堡背后的墙面上挂着葡萄、苹果、小麦和甘蔗,女巫们没事时便会聚在后院,从墙上掰些水果和甘蔗下来吃。可惜这些作物必须在叶子的魔力下才能生长,只能算不完全成功的试验品。
The mapplaces the courtyardcenter, 56square meters, are splicedbyparchmentfully.
地图就放在院子中央,足有56平米,由一张张羊皮纸拼接而成。„We here,”Lightningsingle-handedhold in the arms the waist of Roland, leadinghimto float offslowly, fluttersto the mapsky overhangingly, „did youseethatpalm of the handbigdust colorblock? Fromairbornelooks, Border Townisthisappearance.”
“我们就在这儿,”闪电单手搂住罗兰的腰,带着他缓缓浮起,悬空飘到地图上空,“您看到那块巴掌大的灰褐色方块了吗？从空中看,边陲镇就是这个样子。”„East sideandsouthblueplace...... Is the sea?”
“东边和南边蓝色的地方……难道是海？”„Yes, butmustsurmountmountain ridgeto be able.”
“是,不过要翻越一段山岭才能到。”InRolandheartslightlyonecold, ifwastelandis broader than dozenstimesto be normalGreycastle, buthehas not expected, when the completebigmapcompletelypresents at present, Western Regionunexpectedlyappearssonarrow and small.
