„Is thisyourpreviousapproach shoringplaces?”Tillylooks atdike that the frontis standing tall and erectto ask.
“这就是你们上次靠岸的地方?”提莉望着前方高耸的岩壁问道。H.M.S. Clever Bellesaw after the coastline, has navigatedto the westalong the shore, untilmeetingthisbeach head, Ashwas shouting the aback.俏美人号见到海岸线后就一直沿着岸边向西航行,直到遇见这片滩头,灰烬才喊着停船。„Yeah, youlooked,”sheaims at the mountain ridgepeak.
“嗯,你看,”她指向山岭顶端。Tillylooksfollowing the direction that sherefers, sees only the both sidesorangeflagto flutteragainst the wind.提莉顺着她指的方向望去,只见两面橙色的旗帜正迎风飘扬。„Whenprevioustimecomesheresand beach, butthattwoflagsexplainedournotgoing astrayroad.”
“虽然上次来时这里还是沙滩,但那两杆旗帜说明我们没有走错路。”„I have impression,”oldJackholds in the mouth the tobacco pipe saying that „previoustimetheyare also bringing a giantballoon, has transported the cliffallwitch, how can youmorepass?”
“我也有印象,”老杰克叼着烟斗道,“不过上次她们还带着一个巨大的气球,才把所有女巫运过山崖,你们要怎么越过去?”„Giantballoon?”Tillycurioussay/way.
“巨大的气球?”提莉好奇道。„Yeah, fills the steam to fly,”Ashnods, „it is saidis the invention of Your HighnessRoland, the principleisto use the hot airrisestrength, asks the heaven the balloon and persontogether.”
“嗯,充满热气就能飞起来,”灰烬点点头,“据说是罗兰殿下的发明,原理是利用热空气上升的力量,把气球和人一起托上天。”
The Fifth Princesslooksomewhatis for a while complex, „palaceteacherhas not taughtthesethings.”Afterwardherspoutwhite clouds, „mustseehimin any casequickly, when the time comesnaturallyknows the result. Wecome ashore.”五王女神色一时有些复杂,“宫廷导师可没教过这些东西。”随后她吐出口白气,“反正很快就要见到他了,到时候自然知道结果。我们上岸吧。”„Youdetermined that doesn't meetyouinshipsuperiorhim?” The captainexposes the cigarette ash, „thatthiscliffwhat to do?”
“您确定不在船上等他来接您?”船长抖落烟灰,“那这道山崖怎么办?”„GivesShavito be good,”Tillysmiled.
“交给纱薇就好,”提莉笑了笑。Becausehereisseacoast that formsnaturally, no oneknows that the sea bed the depth, H.M.S. Clever Belledoes not dareto depend ontoonearly, can only throughemitting the way of beach boatdelivers the mountainshoal the person.
由于这里是天然形成的海岸,谁也不知道海床的深浅,俏美人号不敢靠得太近,只能通过放出登陆小艇的方式将人送山浅滩。
After the groupstep onthicksnowy area, TillylookstoOne Eye Jack, „Mr. Captain, is troublesomeyouto wait for 34daysinthisplace, Lotustheyalsoneedyouto helpto return toSleeping Island.”
一行人踩上厚实的雪地后,提莉望向杰克.独眼,“船长先生,那么麻烦你在此地等待34天,莲她们还需要你帮忙送回沉睡岛。”„Naturally,”captainshouldsay,„youon the ship, Ihave not dared the old routeto return, god knowsthesevariation can water ghostwalk inonce more.”
“当然,”船长应道,“没有你们在船上,我也不敢原路返回啊,天知道那些变异水鬼会不会再次找上门来。”Tillyarrives at the cliff, non-stop flies the summitusing the magic stoneability, observed the topography after surroundingsituation--mountain ridgeto be much higher than the shoal, almost and summitwas impartial, in other wordsonlyneededto climb, does not needto descend. The mountain wallprobablywhen about 50steps, the barrieris highly usedto recommendobject the magic powerconsumptionwill increase dramatically, butsuchselects the distance should regardingShavinotanydifficulty. Shedescendstofourpeoplesideslowly, „Shavi, theirthreetroubledyou.”提莉走到峭壁边,利用魔石的能力直飞山顶,观察了遍周围的情况——山背后的地势比浅滩要高得多,几乎和山顶持平,也就是说只需要爬升,不需要降落。山壁高度大约在50步左右,屏障用于推举物体时魔力消耗会大幅增加,不过这么点距离对于纱薇来说应该没什么难度。她缓缓降落到四人身边,“纱薇,她们三个就麻烦你了。”„Yes, Lady Tilly,” the lattersmiles the racket the chest, thensummonedinvisiblebarrier--aftertwodays of rests, shefromresisting the violent force of seabedgiant beastdashedto restore, when the peopleallstepped the transparentbarrier, sheactuatedmagic power, madeitsupwardto raiseslowly, before longthencrossed the mountain top.
“是,提莉大人,”后者笑着拍拍胸口,接着召唤出无形屏障——经过两天的休息,她已从抵挡海底巨兽的猛力冲撞中恢复过来,等到众人全部踏上透明的屏障,她驱动魔力,令其向上缓缓升起,不一会儿便翻过了山头。Thenunder the direction of Ash, the groupspent the half-daytimefinallyto arrive inBorder Town.
接着在灰烬的指引下,一行人花了半天时间终于抵达了边陲镇。Mapsin the Tillyeyefirst, is a modelinguniquesteelbridge. Itcrosssitsabovebroadrivers, entirebottom is only equipped withtwobridge piers, except the ironbeamiron poles of neatdistributions, does not haveanyunnecessarydecoration and patternfrom top to bottom. The blackpontic that the snow that on the bridge floorcoversandrevealshas formed the sharpcontrast, looksto have the imposing manner of not being able to say.
最先映入提莉眼中的,是一座造型独特的钢铁桥梁。它跨坐在宽广的河流之上,整个底部只设有两处桥墩,除去一根根整齐排布的铁梁铁柱,浑身上下没有任何多余的装饰和花纹。桥面上覆盖的积雪和露出来的黑色桥体形成了鲜明的对比,一眼望去有种说不出的气势。„Thisbridge...... Reallybig,”Breezesaid after a sigh, „how manyiron ingotstheyhave melted, canmake a suchbridge?”
“这桥……真大,”和风感叹道,“他们到底熔了多少铁锭,才能造出一座这样的桥梁?”„Wastes the material, buildsstripfloating bridge to solve the generalproblemobviously, whatnecessityconstructssuchhighhas?”Ashthinks otherwise saying that „Border Town is in itself the peddlerfleet last station, does have the ships to go to the place of origin of riversto do business?”
“真是浪费材料,明明搭条浮桥就能解决通行问题,建这么高有什么必要?”灰烬不以为然道,“边陲镇本身就是行商船队的最后一站,难道还有船只想要前往河流的发源地做生意?”„Experiencesuperficialopinion,” the Andreagracefullyrockingindex finger, „Iam not the Greycastleperson, cansee that the westernthisforest landshaveto open up the value. Now after not having the citiesnotrepresentatives, does not have, to continueto widen the territoryrange, to the unpopulated areaexpansionis the goodchoice. When the time comesfloating bridgehas become the blocking the wayrope of hindrancestream transport, obviously the Lady TillyElder Brotherconsidersyoumustbe longer-term.”
“见识浅薄的言论,”安德莉亚优雅地晃动食指,“就算我不是灰堡人,也能看出西边这片林地颇具开垦价值。现在没有城镇不代表以后也没有,如果想要继续扩大领地范围,向无人区扩张是再好不过的选择。到时候浮桥就成了阻碍河道运输的拦路索,提莉大人的哥哥明显比你考虑的要更长远。”Ashhas selected the brow, „before , likes the barbariccookingvulgarnoble, nowchanges a statementto call the Lady TillyElder Brother?”灰烬挑了挑眉头,“之前还是喜好野蛮烹饪的粗俗贵族,现在就改口叫提莉大人的哥哥了?”„A vulgarnoblewordisyouadds,”golden hairwitchdisdaincasts asideexcessively, „other, the visionlong-termandbarbariccookingdoes not conflict, youdid not usein front ofLady Tillytell tales.”
“粗俗贵族一词可是你加上去的,”金发女巫不屑地撇过头,“另外,目光长远和野蛮烹饪并不冲突,你就不用在提莉大人面前搬弄是非了。”Tillyhas not cared abouttwo peopleroutinedisputes, buthas put the riveropposite shore the vision.提莉并没有在意两人的例行争执,而是将目光放到了河对岸。Shenoted an inconceivablephenomenon.
她注意到了一个不可思议的现象。At this time the skywas still having the flurry, the temperaturehas not distinguishedwithcold winteranything, properly speakingat this time the townspeoplesshouldhideinownfamily/home, eitherencirclesnear the stove, eithershrinks the volumein the quilt. Even ifinKingdom Capital, inwinterTian Streetcould not see that severalperson--will intensify the physical strengthto passseverely cold, wishmakes the bodywarm, eatsbe usually more than onseveralpoints, not to mentiongoes outalsohas the risk of infectioncold. Thereforebesides the necessaryfood and drink, mostcommon peoplewill always avoidmovingin the winter.
此时天空仍下着小雪,气温跟寒冬没什么区别,按理说这种时候镇民都应该躲在自己的家中,要么围在火炉边,要么缩卷在被子里。即使在王都,冬天街上也见不到几个人——严寒会加剧体力流逝,想要让身子暖和,吃得也要比平时多上几分,更别提出门还有感染风寒的危险。因此除了必要的吃喝外,绝大多数平民总是会在冬天避免行动。Howeversmall townsomeriversidecontinuouslyperson of communication--some of themare actually pushing the car, someare shouldering the sackthing, the footstepsin a hurry, seem likeare working. Tillyhad not found the supervisor of hand-heldleather whipintheirside, in other words, thesepeoplecompletelyarevoluntarilyin the practical training.
然而小镇的河边却不断有人来往——他们有的推着小车,有的背负着大袋东西,脚步匆匆,看起来像是在干活。提莉没有在他们身边找到手持皮鞭的监工,也就是说,这些人完全是出于自愿在劳作。This...... Howpossible?
这……怎么可能?
After bridging over the iron bridge, immediatelytwograsp the guard of unusuallong spear/gunto walk, theywear the unifiedclothing, looks likefull of energy, mannerandin the bigcity the commonpatrol leaderis completely different, „halts, why do youcomefrom the south side?”One of themhas taken a look atthemcarefullyin a minute, „wait/etc., youare...... witch?”
跨过铁桥后,立刻有两名手持奇特长枪的卫兵走了过来,他们穿着统一的服装,看起来精神抖擞,神态和大城市里常见的巡逻队完全不同,“站住,你们为何从南边过来?”其中一人仔细打量了她们片刻,“等等,你们是……女巫?”ThisissuemakesTillybe startledslightly, althoughearlyknows that thiscitieshave publicizedexistence of witch, when butshehears the average personpersonallyby the sogentletoneaskedthese words, bottom of hearthad still startedmighty waves. „Right, wearewitch.”
这个问题让提莉微微一怔,虽然早已经知道这座城镇公开了女巫的存在,但当她亲自听到普通人以如此平和的语气问出这句话时,心底仍掀起了一阵波澜。“没错,我们是女巫。”„IswantsjoiningCooperation Association,”guardhas smiled, „troublesomewaitshere, Ireportedtoaboveimmediately.”
“是想要来加入共助会的吧,”卫兵笑了起来,“麻烦在此等候,我立刻向上面报告。”„Waits? No, thisis--”
“等候?不,这位是——”„Good, wehereare waiting.”Tillyput out a handto interrupt the Ashwords, „other, Icanask that whatthesepeoplewere busy at?”
“好的,我们就在这里等着。”提莉伸手打断了灰烬的话,“另外,我能问下这些人都在忙什么吗?”"Ah, theyare repairing in a rush the dock, becausethisheavy snowcomestoosuddenly, a lotmessed up. As formustmakeanythingspecifically, I was not quite clear. ”“啊,他们正在抢修船坞,因为这场大雪来得太突然,很多事情都乱了套。至于具体要做些什么,我就不大清楚了。”
After the guardreturns to the post, Ashaskedpuzzled, „whydidn't tellthemyourstatus?”
等卫兵回到岗位后,灰烬不解地问道,“为何不告诉他们你的身份?”„Don't youfeelcurious? Howhewill receivewitchfromothercities.”Tillyblinkedsmart-alecky.
“你难道不感到好奇吗?他会如何接收一名来自其他城市的女巫。”提莉俏皮地眨了眨眼睛。In a while, staturetall, put on a female of white clothingto walktowardherecame--sheto have a goldenlongcurl, the appearancewas impeccable. Even ifcannot seemagic power, Tilly can also feel the sharpimposing manner of hersending out, simplyis similar to one sharp blade of sheath.
没过多久,一名身材高挑,穿着一袭白衣的女子朝这边走了过来——她有着一头金色长卷发,容貌无可挑剔。即使看不到魔力,提莉也能感受到从她身上散发出来的锋锐气势,简直如同一把出鞘的利刃。Without a doubt, comes the personiscombat typewitch, moreoverisstrengthextremelyformidablethat.
毫无疑问,来人是一名战斗型女巫,而且是实力极为强大的那种。„Ialsoreallythink that newwitchwantsjoiningCooperation Association, didn't youreturn toSleeping Island?”Shelooked atAshonefirst, afterwardhas swept the people. When the visionfallson the Tillybody, shestaressuddenly, in an instant, the sharpfeelingvanished, what replaces it islikewaterwarm feeling.
“我还真以为有新女巫想要来加入共助会,你不是回沉睡岛了吗?”她先是望了灰烬一眼,随后扫过众人。当目光落在提莉身上时,她突然一愣,刹那间,锋锐的感觉消失了,取而代之的是如水般的暖意。„Hello, IcalledNightingale,”shenodded, „youcertainlywereTilly Wimbledon, the younger sister of Your HighnessRoland?”
“你好,我叫夜莺,”她点头致意道,“你一定就是提莉.温布顿,罗兰殿下的妹妹吧?”
