„Fjordhas the innumerableislands, no onehas had been totheseislands the borders,”is tall, the appearanceroughboldmansaid,„toeast, the climateis more unpredictable, the islands are also so. Does not know, theycanfinallystrangelytoanydegree.”
“峡湾拥有数不清的岛屿,谁都没有到过这些海岛的边境,”一名身材高大,面貌粗犷豪放的男子说道,“越是向东,气候就越变幻莫测,岛屿也是如此。真不知道,它们最终能诡异到什么程度。”„Haven't youarrived?”Tillyaskedcuriously,„they said that youarefjordmost outstandingexplorer, besidesyou, almostfewindividualsdaresto crossBurning Fire Island , to continue goes forwardtoeast.”
“就连你也没有抵达过?”提莉好奇地问,“他们说,你是峡湾最杰出的探险家,除了你之外,几乎没有几个人敢越过灼火岛,继续向东前进。”„Hahaha,”helaughsto sayfrank, „thishad been enlarged the praise, in fact, has the bravefjordpeopleto developtoeastevery year, butis very difficultto haveanythingnewlyto discover. The wildhurricane and suddendense fog, will make the shipsdifficult.”
“哈哈哈,”他爽朗地大笑道,“这都是被放大过的赞誉罢了,事实上,每年都有勇敢的峡湾人向东开拓,只是很难有什么新发现而已。狂暴的飓风和突然出现的迷雾,都会让船只寸步难行。”HeisThunder, Ashthinks,firstdiscovers the Hidden Shadowarchipelagoexplorer, sincetwoyears ago loses the whereaboutsinperils of the sea, manypeoplethink that hetragically died, has not thought that hewill appearinSleeping Island, but alsoachievedagreement--to develop the newroute and plannautical chartwithFifth PrincessbyhimforSleeping Islandandseeks fornewruins, Tillysent outwitchto assisthimto explore.

ThismakesAshat heartslightlysomewhatunhappy.
他就是雷霆,灰烬想,第一个发现幽影群岛的探险家,不过自从两年前在一场海难中失去行踪,许多人都以为他不幸遇难,没想到他会出现在沉睡岛,还和五王女达成了协议——由他为沉睡岛开拓新航路、绘制海图并寻找更多新遗迹,提莉则派出女巫协助他进行探险。至于失踪的这两年,她并未听对方提起过,提莉也闭口不谈,但她总觉得殿下是知道内情的,不然两人不会那么有默契。这点让灰烬心里微微有些不快。„Likeyesterday'sthathurricane?”
“就像昨天那场飓风?”„Right, suddenlycomes, to be written in water,”Thunderhas shaken the tobacco pipe, casts into the seaashes, fills insomeleaves of grassto light, „, if no thatmysteriouswitch--”
“没错,眨眼而来,转瞬即逝,”雷霆抖了抖烟斗,将余灰撒入大海,重新填入些草叶点燃,“如果不是有那名神奇的女巫——”„ShecalledMolly,” the Ashhardremindersaid.
“她叫莫丽尔,”灰烬硬邦邦提醒道。"Ah, right, what a bad memory I have, ” Thunderthinks littleslightly, feels the back of the headto say with a smile, „, if no Molly, perhaps the shipwill be turnedupside down. Herability was too simply good, Ithinkfrequently,perhapswitchismost appropriateexplorer.”“啊,没错,瞧我这记性,”雷霆丝毫不以为意,摸着后脑勺笑道,“如果不是有莫丽尔的话,恐怕船都会被翻个底朝天。她的能力简直太棒了,我常常想,或许女巫才是最合适的探险家。”„Hadnot,”Tillyshows a faint smile, „...... Inherits the most outstandingexplorergiven namewitch.”
“已经有了不是吗,”提莉微微一笑,“……继承最杰出探险家名号的女巫。”„......”Thunderdeeplyhas not attracted a tobacco pipe, puts outlong stringsmog, „hopeso.”
“唔……”雷霆深深吸了口烟斗,吐出一长串烟雾,“希望如此吧。”Here we go again, words who Ashknitting the browshead, two peoplesaiddo not understand what is heard. Shesimplyleaves the bow, arrives atsternto go to the gentleundermood. Your HighnessFifth Princessas iftoexploringruinsis very urgent, aftersweeping clearfjordchurch, immediatelystartspreparing the going to seamatters concerned. Moreoverthose whomadeheraccident/surprisewas, your highnessrequestedto gopersonally, howoneselfdissuadeduselessly.
又来了,灰烬皱了皱眉头,两人说的话自己根本听不明白。她干脆离开船头,走到船尾去平缓下情绪。五王女殿下似乎对探索遗迹十分迫切,在清扫完峡湾教堂后,就立刻着手准备出海事宜。而且令她意外的是,殿下要求亲自前往,自己怎么劝阻都没用。Mollyis sittingin the stern, controlsitsmagic powerservantto grasp the fishing pole, is learningfishingfrom the sailor. Whenembarkingsailorstosomewitchalsoresistances, since yesterday'shurricane, everybody'smannerhas the magic powerservant who the tremendous changes--Mollycommandsummonedto inflaterapidly, the partamong the sailing shipsbinds into within the body, the strong winds and rainstormcannotinvade. Although the shipsone after anotherfluctuateinocean wavesup and down, but the hullthroughoutmaintainsstable. Now, eachsailorregards as the luckyGodwitch, evensaid that laterdid not have the witchcompanionsnot to dareto go to sea.莫丽尔正坐在船尾,控制它的魔力仆役握着鱼竿,跟水手学着钓鱼。尽管上船时水手们对女巫还有些抗拒,不过自从昨天的飓风过后,大家的态度有了翻天覆地的变化——莫丽尔令召唤出来的魔力仆役迅速膨胀,将帆船中间部分裹入体内,无论是狂风和暴雨都不能侵入其中。虽然船只在一波又一波的海浪中上下起伏,但船体始终保持稳定。如今,每个水手都将女巫视作幸运之神,甚至说以后没有女巫陪伴都不敢出海了。„The Ashelder sister, looks at the bigfish that Ifish!”Mollyis pointing atbehindpail, insidelies downlongto have the non-scalesea fish of sharpsharpmouth, withis widely divergentin the river fish that Greycastlesees.
“灰烬姐,看我钓到的大鱼!”莫丽尔指着身后的桶子,里面躺着一条长有锐利尖嘴的无鳞海鱼,和在灰堡看到的河鱼大相径庭。„What is this?”
“这是什么?”„Sawshark, likesalong with the shipline, sometimesitssharpmouthwill go against the ship's bottombroken,”sailoranswersaid,„has the delicacy, especially the meat of abdomen, placesin the mouthto be commonlike the ice that canmelt,”hesmacks the lips, „evening'severybodycanenjoytastilyboiled the sawsharkexactly.”
“剑鱼,喜欢随船而行,有时候它的尖嘴会把船底顶破,”水手回答道,“不过吃起来十分美味,特别是腹部的肉,放在口里就像会融化的冰一般,”他咂咂嘴,“晚上大家就能享受到鲜美的活煮剑鱼了。”„Herealsohad the fishto swallow the baitprobably!”Mollypleasantly surprisedsay/way.
“我这儿好像又有鱼上钩了!”莫丽尔惊喜道。Saw onlydeep greenunderwaterto present a shadow, andwas getting bigger and bigger along with the magic powerservantlevermovement, quickmustsurface.
只见碧绿的水下出现了一条黑影,并随着魔力仆役拉杆的动作越来越大,很快就要浮出水面。„This...... Thisis,”sailorhas gawkedstaring, „, does not discard the fishing polequickly!”
“这……这是,”水手愣了愣,“不,快丢掉鱼竿!”
The voicehas not fallen, a buildstrangeliving thingleaptfrom the water, opens the bigmouthto nipdirectlytoMolly.
话音未落,一个体形怪异的生物已经从水中跃出,张开大嘴直接向莫丽尔咬来。Saw that itmustentireswallow the goal, however the Ashspeedcomparesitto be faster, herleft handhugs the little girl, the right handwields the greatsword, patteddirectlyon the head of attack.
眼看它就要将目标整个吞下,然而灰烬的速度比它更快,她左手抱起小姑娘,右手挥起巨剑,直接拍在了来袭者的脑袋上。
The monstersends outpainfulneighing, fromairbornewas poundedto fall, sixfootdiggingfastmove, wantagainin the running awaybackwater, butAshhas not givenitthisopportunity. Sheputs downMolly, both handsholdsswordto be used todownwardinto, sewed the monsterin the deckdirectly.
怪物发出一声痛苦的嘶鸣,从空中被生生砸落下来,六只脚飞快的刨动,想要重新逃回水里,但灰烬没有给它这个机会。她放下莫丽尔,双手持剑向下惯入,将怪物直接钉在了甲板上。Itstwitchingmoment, the mouthputs outonestring of whiteair bubbles, no longermovesquickly.
它抽搐片刻,嘴里吐出一串白色气泡,很快不再动弹。„What is this?”This momentAshhas the opportunityto size upsomepresentmonster--itsresemblesfishcarefully, is growing the crabcommonshortfoot, when the mouthopensassumes the circular, almost and bodyis equally big, insidehas covered entirely the dense and numerousteeth. Mostmadeonethinkwhatwas disgusting, byitsmouthalsosteadily a pair of furryarm, the terminalwas divided into the five fingers, seemedis ordinarylike the manpower.
“这是什么?”此刻灰烬才有机会仔细打量眼前的怪物——它有些像鱼,又长着螃蟹一般的短脚,嘴巴张开时呈圆形,几乎和身体一样大,里面布满了密密麻麻的牙齿。最令人觉得恶心的是,它的嘴巴两侧还长着一对毛茸茸的手臂,末端分成五指,看上去就像人手一般。„Variationsea ghost!” The sailorshave pattedcheststill shaken, „theyoftencamouflage the fish, bitesto draw in the wateranglerone, moreoverheard, only thenhas eatensea ghost of person, will be longboth hands!”
“一只变异海鬼!”水手惊魂未定地拍了拍胸口,“它们时常伪装成鱼类,将钓鱼者一口咬住拖入水中,而且听说只有吃过人的海鬼,才会长出双手!”„Behindthatisfalse rumor,”behindsomepeoplesaid. Ashhas turned head, discovered that ThunderandTillywalked.
“后面那句不过是讹传罢了,”身后有人说道。灰烬回过头,发现雷霆和提莉都走了过来。„Mr. Captain!” The sailorsspit the tongue, immediatelymaking wayposition.
“船长先生!”水手吐了吐舌头,立刻让开位置。„Is the shockingrumor, is inaccurateonmore,”Thunderwent forwardto kick the monsterfoot of ground, „in fact, ithadyouperhapsmore familiarname.”
“越是耸人听闻的传言,就越不准确,”雷霆上前去踢了地上的怪物一脚,“事实上,它有个你们或许更熟悉的名字。”„What?”Ashasked.
“什么?”灰烬问。„Evil Beast.”Heevery single word or phrasesaid.
“邪兽。”他一字一句说道。„SirThunder, haze!”Observationshoutssuddenlygreatly.
“雷霆大人,起雾了!”瞭望手忽然大喊道。„Allpeoplespunk up!”Thunderorderedloud, „fellsail, wewere driving into the Hidden Shadowsea area!”
“所有人打起精神来!”雷霆高声下令,“降帆,我们正在驶入幽影海域!”Ashnotes, calculatesa moment ago the sunnyskyis suddenly cloudy, the deep greensea levelturned into the dark green, as ifunderwateronegroup of inkproliferation. Before long, around the hullbyonegroup of richmistsurrounding, shewas then stoodin the sterncannot even see clearly the person's shadow of bow.灰烬注意到,刚才还算晴朗的天空陡然阴沉下来,碧绿的海面变成了墨绿色,仿佛水下有一团墨汁正在扩散般。不一会儿,船身四周便被一团浓郁的雾气包围,她站在船尾甚至看不清船头的人影。„What's all this about?”Tillycould not bearhold the arm of Ash.
“这是怎么回事?”提莉忍不住抓住了灰烬的手臂。„Showed that wedo not have the going astraydirection,”Thundersmiled, „, when the Hidden Shadowarchipelagoappearfrom the sea, thissea arearaisingthickmist. Naturally, the correctviewshouldbe the sea wateris ebbing, the scoperoughlytenzhang (3.33 m), the hugedecline rangewill produce the massivewater vapor, in additionreefeverywhere, thereforehasslightlywill strike carelessly then a reef the submersion. Ineedyourwitchhelpshipsnot to be crashed.”
“证明我们没有走错方向,”雷霆笑了笑,“当幽影群岛从海中浮现时,这片海域就会升起浓浓水雾。当然,正确的说法应该是海水正在退潮,幅度约莫有十来丈,巨大的跌幅会产生大量水汽,加上礁石遍地,所以稍有不慎便会触礁沉没。我需要你的女巫帮助船只不被撞毁。”
The grouparrive at the bow, when such asresistancestormsuch, Mollymakes the magic powerservantpackageanchor the head, inflates the bodyas far as possible, somebodiessink to the water, even ifsuchbowhas the hidden rock, will be feltfirstby the servant.
一行人来到船头,就如对抗风暴时那样,莫丽尔让魔力仆役包裹住船头,尽量膨胀起身子,一部分身体沉入水中,这样船头即使有暗礁,也会先被仆役感受到。„If no witch, what to doyoudo plan?”Ashasked.
“如果没有女巫,你打算怎么办?”灰烬问。„That can only depend onpatienceandluck,”Thundersighed, „fleetcansend out the skiffto explore the wayinfront, confirmed after being unimpeded , the steamshipwent forwardagain. However the sea level of thisregionis not tranquil, beforeyouEvil Beast that sees, moreapproaches the Hidden Shadowarchipelago, the quantityare more. Dense fog, reefandmonster...... Thisismanyexplorergoes tothisplace, reason that actually the unusualpersoncanfind the ruinsentrance.”
“那就只能靠耐心和运气了,”雷霆叹了口气,“船队会派出小艇在前面探路,确认畅通后大船再跟着前进。但是这一块区域的海面并不平静,就像你们之前看到的邪兽,越靠近幽影群岛,数量就越多。迷雾、礁石、怪物……这就是许多探险家前往此地,却少有人能找到遗迹入口的原因。”Alsonavigatedapproximatelyonedouble-hour, the dense fogabatesgradually, Ashsaw that the surroundingislandsare getting more and more, butaboverarely has the plant, is the green and lustrousmossor the algae, but also is climbing upmanycarapaceliving thing. „Are theseislands the submersionin the water?”
又航行了约一个时辰,迷雾逐渐消退,灰烬看到周围的岛屿越来越多,不过上面鲜有植物,都是绿莹莹的青苔或藻类,还攀爬着许多甲壳生物。“这些海岛都是沉没在水里的?”„Right, likeSleeping Island, buthereis rising tidewith the gap of ebb tideis much quicker, hasonetimeprobablyfor half a month.”Thunderanswer said that „. Moreover the fluctuationspeedis extremely fast, looks likeundergroundto have a giantholesimply, is ordinaryin the crazyswallowingsurroundingsea water. Ievenguessed, the sea-level change of entirefjord, withhererelated. If the luckis good, we can also notice that the mainisland the process that leapsfrom the seabed.”
“没错,就像沉睡岛,不过这里涨潮和落潮的间隔要快得多,大概半个月就有一次。”雷霆回答道,“而且涨落速度极快,简直像地底有个巨大的孔洞,在疯狂吞噬周围的海水一般。我甚至猜测,整个峡湾的海平面变化,都跟这里有关。如果运气好的话,我们还能看到主岛从海底跃出的过程。”
