Roland stands in the city wall, looks out north. Since this month, he has been duplicating the castle, mining site and city wall 3.1 circulations, inspects each possibly forgotten detail. 罗兰站在城墙上,遥望北方。这一个月以来,他重复着城堡、矿区、城墙3.1线的循环,检查每个可能被遗忘的细节。 The thorn of militia team strikes the movement to be adept day after day, they under the Carter drill, have been able to stand firm gun repeatedly, the hunter who until being responsible for observing shouted when attack slogan, sends out the long spear/gun. 民兵队的刺击动作日渐娴熟,他们在卡特反复地操练下,已能稳住枪杆,直到负责观察的猎人喊出攻击口号时,才送出长枪。 What stands after behind their is the hunter team, every keeps Border Town, and was good is enrolled this team with the hunters of bow and crossbow. These experienced hunters kill the Evil Beast's main force, fires to the corner in 12 chi (0.33 m) high city wall, the possibility of almost not having missed. 站在他们身后的是猎户队,凡留在边陲镇,且善于用弓和弩的猎人都被编入了这支队伍。这些经验丰富的捕猎者是杀伤邪兽的主力,在12尺高的城墙上向墙角射击,几乎没有射失的可能。 Finally is making up blade team comprised of Iron Axe, Carter and another two elite hunters. The blacksmith's shop builds the components and four forwards of Anna fusion assembly to install the Flintlock to be available, in meeting the bow crossbow is unable to penetrate the cover the thorny monster or Evil Beast Hybrid(s) by making up the blade team strikes to kill. Their positions are very free, walks randomly in this about 200 meters in length distance, where has the need to appear where. 最后则是由铁斧、卡特及另外二名精锐猎人组成的补刀队。铁匠铺打造零件、安娜熔接组装的四支前装燧发枪已交付使用,只有在遇见弓弩都无法穿透外皮的棘手怪物或混合种邪兽时才由补刀队击杀。他们的位置十分自由,在这段长约200米的距离上游走,哪儿有需要就出现在哪里。 As for dynamite, then deposits in the city wall next guard strict warehouse . When needs to save the scene, ships city wall-- this thing to have an accident again alone after all, Evil Beast is possibly bigger than to the destruction that oneself cause, the Evil Beast's tooth bites not the bad cement hewn stone, but the blasting explosive can actually deliver the heaven the entire city wall. 至于炸药包,则存放在城墙下一间看守严密的仓库里。需要救场时,再单独运上城墙——毕竟这玩意一出事,对自己造成的破坏可能比邪兽还要大,邪兽的牙齿咬不坏水泥毛石,但炸药却能把整段城墙送上天。 Until now, Roland has organized two combat exercise, including the dynamite use. Also was lucky that this trains twice, avoided official defensive wartime militia being frightened to discard the awkwardness of weapon by the blasting explosive thundering loud sound. But another advantage is, after everybody discovers in the prince hand is also grasping so might astonishing weapon, the morale of team immediately surges upward. 至今为止,罗兰已组织过两次实战演练,包括炸药包的使用。也多亏这两次演练,才避免了正式防守战时民兵们被炸药轰鸣巨响吓到扔掉武器的尴尬。而另一个好处便是,当大家发现王子手中还掌握着如此威力惊人的武器后,队伍的士气顿时高涨起来。 „Your highness,” Barov tightened the collar, „the income of ore transaction has spent most, if Months of Demons seems like so long, I who really astrologer said estimated that supported less than the winter finished.” “殿下,”巴罗夫紧了紧衣领,“矿石交易的收入已花去大半,如果邪魔之月真像占星家说的那么漫长,我估计撑不到冬天结束。” „That my treasury in all fills,” Roland said without hesitation, „moreover do not stop with the transaction of Willow Town. Beginning steam number machine shipped to the mine tunnel, the collapsing crushed stone clean-up also basically completes, throughout the entire winter we can obtain an output. Especially raw gems, does not need to emphasize the price again, can takes action hurry to sell out as soon as possible. Multi- storage grain and dried meat is always right.” “那就把我金库里的全填进去,”罗兰毫不犹豫地说,“另外与柳叶镇的交易也不要停下来。蒸汽初号机已运送至矿洞,坍塌碎石清理工作也基本完成,整个冬天我们还是能获得一点产量的。特别是宝石原石,不用再强调价格,能尽快出手就赶紧卖掉。多储存点粮食和肉干总是对的。” Barov nods, „I will manage, Your highness.......” 巴罗夫点点头,“我会去办的,殿下。只是……” Appearance that sees Assistant Minister starting to speak but hesitating, Roland understands certainly that he wants to say anything, „felt relieved, I have arranged a boat, when arrives at the situation on all fronts rout, I will leave small town.” 看到大臣助理一副欲言又止的样子,罗兰当然明白他想说什么,“放心,我安排了一条小船,若真到局势全线溃败之时,我会离开小镇。” „I have felt relieved,” Barov relaxed. “那我就放心了,”巴罗夫松了口气。 Roland smiled toward him, „you are busy your, I alone have a look again.” 罗兰朝他笑了笑,“你去忙你的吧,我一个人再看看。” When Barov leaves, the prince is on the watchtower slowly. This is the city wall central peak, from here can the bird's eye view front broad jungle and rolling hills. The cold wind is howling heading on, but he does not care at all. In this spacious stage, he nervousness faced with war will be tranquil. 待巴罗夫离开,王子慢慢登上望楼。这是城墙中央的最高点,从此处可以俯瞰前方广阔的丛林和连绵起伏的群山。寒风呼啸着扑面而来,但他毫不在意。只有在这空旷的高台上,他面临大战时的紧张心情才会平静下来。 „You are deceiving him,” some people said, „you have not planned to leave.” “你在骗他,”身边有人说道,“你根本就没打算离开。” „Life is so difficult, good that something do not see through.” “人生已是如此艰难,有些事还是不要拆穿的好。” „What cannot understand you to talk nonsense, if the status of prince is difficult, what we are?” Nightingale appears the figure, „, even if not regard King, so long as has lived struggle for the throne these five years, you are also Lord of the side. Compared with being worried about this, you accompany Anna to be quite good, only feared...... She did not have how much time.” “听不懂你在胡说些什么,如果王子的身份都算艰难,那我们又算什么？”夜莺现出身形,“即使当不成国王,只要活过争王令的这五年,你也是一方之主。比起担心这个,你还是多陪下安娜比较好,只怕……她没多少时间了。” Roland silent moment, „I do not think her exactly Months of Demons.” 罗兰沉默了片刻,“我不觉得她活不过邪魔之月。” „Why?” “为何？” „She said that will not lose to demonic bite,” his paused, „I believe her.” “她说不会输给邪魔噬体,”他顿了顿,“我相信她。” „You believe unexpectedly witch,” Nightingale shakes the head, „we by person of Devil curse.” “你居然会相信一名女巫,”夜莺摇摇头,“我们可是被魔鬼诅咒的人。” „Yes? I also believe you.” “是么？我也相信你啊。” „......” “……” ******************* ******************* Brian wears the casual attire, stands in front of the Greyhound tombstone. 布莱恩穿着便装,站在灰狗的墓碑前。 He has stroked brand-new stele gently, in the pure white tablet surface is carving one line of characters: " Nameless actually existing forever will of the people. For Hero that Border Town sacrificed. " 他轻轻抚摸过崭新的石碑,纯白色的碑面上刻着一行字:「无名却长存人心。为边陲镇牺牲的英雄。」 „Greyhound.” “灰狗。” „I have realized the dream, when finished to Months of Demons, four His Highness the Prince will then conduct for me confers the ritual.” “我实现了梦想,待到邪魔之月结束,四王子殿下便会为我举办册封礼。” „But I do not want to sit on the hospital bed waited.” “但我不想坐在病床上等待。” „My wound convalesced, in the city wall is the place that I should treat.” “我的伤口已经痊愈,城墙上才是我该待的地方。” „Months of Demons will draw near, Evil Beast is very fearful, but they can hit on the defense line that in everybody works as one to establish, is unable again forward one step.” “邪魔之月就快到了,邪兽或许很可怕,但它们会一头撞在大家齐心协力建立起来的防线上,无法再向前一步。” „I will link your share same place, to guard this small town, brandishes the long sword.” “我将连你的份一起,为守卫这个小镇,挥舞长剑。” „All these have not terminated.” “这一切并没有完结。” „Frames your person also to live......

Nightingale said that is the winter, I am autumn become witch, this year is the first time......” “邪魔噬体啊。夜莺说是冬天吧,我是秋天才成为女巫的,今年是第一次……” „The first time,” Anna thinks, „will be very painful, sometimes you even wished one could dead immediately.” “第一次啊,”安娜想了想,“会很痛,有时候你甚至恨不得立刻死去。” "Ah! ” Nana calls out in alarm one, covers own mouth immediately. “啊！”娜娜瓦惊呼一声,又立刻捂住自己的嘴巴。 „But you will live, like me.” “但你会活下来,就像我一样。” „I do not know that......” Nana said in a low voice, „I not like you strong.” “我不知道……”娜娜瓦低声说,“我可不像你那样坚强。” „I am not strong, when” Anna closes the eye, in the mind appears first time to meet the scene with Roland. In that dim gloomy and cold dungeon, he throws over the clothes on oneself, said in a soft voice must hire oneself-- until now, she still thought inconceivable, „you will also meet let the thing that you want to go on living, even if struggling going on living.” “我并没有多么坚强,”安娜闭上眼睛,脑海中浮现出第一次与罗兰见面时的场景。就在那昏暗阴冷的地牢中,他将衣服披在自己身上,轻声说要聘用自己——直到现在,她仍觉得不可思议,“你也会遇到一些让你想要活下去的事物,哪怕是挣扎着活下去。” „For example......?” “比如……？” „For example moistens the full meat juices cooked in soy bean sauce steak,” she sighed, „how I know that what-- Yeah you did want?” “比如沾满酱汁的肉排,”她叹了口气,“我怎么知道你想要什么——嗯？” Looks is looking at steadily to stare at own Nana, Anna was wiping the face with the hand, „what dirty thing on my face has?” 望着目不转睛盯着自己的娜娜瓦,安娜用手擦了擦脸,“我脸上有什么脏东西吗？” „No......,” The latter shakes the head saying that „I somewhat am accidental, you will never speak these many words with me before...... Elder Sister Anna, you closed the appearance of eye ponder a moment ago, is quite attractive.” “不……,”后者摇头道,“我只是有些意外,你以前从来不会跟我说这么多话……安娜姐姐,刚才你闭上眼睛思考的模样,好漂亮。” Anna showed the whites of the eyes, jumps down the bed, arrives at the window. 安娜翻了个白眼,跳下床,走到窗边。 Nana followed, „what you are looking, Hidden Forest?” 娜娜瓦跟了上来,“你在看什么,迷藏森林吗？” „Forest in the west side,” the Anna ill-humored say/way, „here can only see Scarlet Water River.” “森林在西边,”安娜没好气道,“这儿只能看到赤水河。” „Elder Sister Anna, looks quickly!” The girl is pointing at the space. “安娜姐姐,快看！”女孩指着天上。 Indoor Anna startled, along with boosting the windowing, cold wind mixes with a snowflake to emerge. 安娜怔了怔,随后推开窗,一股寒风夹杂着点点雪花涌入室内。 She extends takes action, presses firmly between the fingers that glittering and translucent carving snowflake, a cool feeling transmits from referring. 她伸出手,捏住那朵晶莹剔透的雪花,一阵凉意从指间传来。 „Snowed.” “下雪了。” ******************* ******************* „......” “……” After long silence, Nightingale opens the mouth saying: „You have not lied unexpectedly.” 漫长的沉默过后,夜莺才开口道:“你居然没有说谎。” „Naturally,” Roland said with a smile, „I little said hurriedly.” “当然,”罗兰笑道,“我本来就很少说慌。” Nightingale has not spoken again, she is excessive, in eye were many some meaning unclear looks. 夜莺没有再说话,她偏过头去,眼中多了些意味不明的神色。 Suddenly, she felt that neck neck place one cool, cannot help but shrank the neck. raised head discovered when does not know, sky over the city wall has hiked up the snowflake. In the dusky sky seemed to be many innumerable only pure white Elves, they ride the north wind to dance, along with slogan sound that the militia team trains, flies upwards in all directions. 忽然间,她感到颈脖处一凉,不由得缩了缩脖子。抬起头才发现,不知何时,城墙上空已飘起了雪花。灰蒙蒙的天空中仿佛多了无数只洁白的精灵,它们乘着北风起舞,伴随着民兵队训练的口号声,四处飞扬。 ...... Months of Demons started. ……邪魔之月开始了。
