Roland knocked on a door, after hearing the reply of Nightingale, pushes the door to walk into the room. 罗兰敲了敲门,听到夜莺的应答后,才推门走入房内。 In the room is hanging thick window curtains, in the morning and evening will open a window the ventilation, other times to maintain warmth and shield light, are on closed. 房间里挂着厚实的窗帘,只有清晨和傍晚时才会开窗透气,其他时候为了保暖和遮光,都是闭合上的。 The two candlesticks of only light source from tail block, candle calmly is burning, projects two staggered shadows the ornaments in room. 唯一的光源来自床尾的两根烛台,蜡烛静静地燃烧着,将屋里的摆设投射出两道交错的阴影。 Before he arrives at the bed, looks is burying in the soft velvet pillow and bedding, the female who closed eyes did not awake, sighed gently. 他走到床前,望着埋在柔软的天鹅绒枕头和被褥之中,仍闭目不醒的女子,轻轻叹了口气。 „Is situation of border defense line good?” Nightingale goes forward to give his one cup of lukewarm water. “边境防线的情况还好吗？”夜莺上前递给他一杯温水。 „All are smooth,” Roland has drunk the mouth at will, hands over to give back to her the cup, „from that date, has not met troop Evil Beast. After the injured militia member returns to the unit completely, the fights of all people warmly become...... Somewhat surges upward.” “一切都还算顺利,”罗兰随意喝了口,将杯子递还给她,“从那天起,就没遇上过大群邪兽了。受伤的民兵队员完好归队后,所有人的战斗热情都变得……有些高涨。” „Place that city wall damages?” “城墙破损的地方呢？” „Karl moves that only Evil Beast Hybrid's carapace using the rolling logs to the fracture place, but also hangs to set up it with the capstan and wooden frame, making it part of city wall,” Roland knows that Nightingale such asked wants to divert own attention, so as to avoid worried excessively. But as soon as he steps into this room, the complete consciousness unrestrainedly will then collect on the bed on the female of deep sleep. “卡尔利用滚木将那只混合种邪兽的甲壳移动到断口处,还用绞盘和木架把它吊立起来,使它成为了城墙的一部分,”罗兰知道夜莺这么问是想分散自己的注意力,免得自己过度担忧。但他一踏进这间屋子,全部意识便会情不自禁地汇集到床上沉睡的女子身上。 If previous time can still gain sufficiently the proud victory facing the Evil Beast large-scale attack, the biggest hero without a doubt is Anna, if no her to use the flame to seal off the city wall gap, the consequence is simply dreadful. 如果说上次面对邪兽大规模侵袭仍能取得足以傲人的胜利,最大的功臣毫无疑问是安娜,若没有她用火焰封堵住城墙缺口,后果简直不堪设想。 However, she faints after oneself bosom, again has not woken up. 然而,她晕倒在自己怀里后,就再也没有醒来。 „One week,” Roland said in a low voice. “已经一个星期了,”罗兰低声道。 Theoretically, person , if in a comma, one week does not eat and drink, does not have the outside direct supplies nutrient( e.g. injection), the body function will then fall into the failure, the brain will die in the shock gradually. But when Anna any weak critically ill indication-- at least at first has not dropped down the appearance to be better compared with her on many. Her cheeks are ruddy, the breath is steady, places on the forehead also to feel the temperature of average man the hand. All phenomena indicated that Anna in healthy condition, is only...... It is not able to wake up. 理论上来说,人若处于昏迷状态,一个星期不吃不喝,也没有外界直接供给养分（如注射）,身体机能便会陷入衰竭,大脑会在休克中逐渐死去。但安娜没有任何虚弱病危的征兆——至少比她最初倒下时的模样要好上很多。她脸颊红润,呼吸平稳,把手放在额头上也能感受到常人的温度。一切现象都表明安娜在健康状态,只是……无法醒来。 „I am also first time meet such situation,” stands in nearby Nightingale shook the head, „magic power of her within the body was consumed in that fight, but now tended to be saturated, even was richer than the past. If I had not calculated that mistake, tonight is her coming-of-age day.” “我也是第一次遇到这样的情况,”站在一旁的夜莺摇了摇头,“她体内的魔力在那场战斗中被消耗一空,可如今已趋于饱和,甚至比以往更浓郁。如果我没推算错误的话,今天午夜就是她的成年日。” „Were you say her adulthood in the stupor?” “你是说她将在昏迷中成年么？” „No, she will die in stupor,” Nightingale spoke frankly, „the pain that the date of institute adulthood suffered, must overcome with the will, once gave up resisting, backlash magic power irreversible will then harm the body of witch.” “不,她会在昏迷中死去,”夜莺直言道,“成年之日所遭受的痛苦,必须要用意志去克服,一旦放弃抵抗,反噬的魔力便会不可逆转地破坏女巫的身体。” Roland moved a chair to sit down in bedside, „may I remember that you have said that when demonic bite, regardless of were painful, the consciousness throughout maintains sober, either endured this checkpoint, either choice conclusion life.” 罗兰搬了张椅子在床边坐下,“可我记得你说过,当邪魔噬体时,无论多么痛苦,意识会始终保持清醒,要么熬过这道关卡,要么选择结束生命。” „Indeed so, in Cooperation Association also once some people want to cross demonic bite with the aid of the stupor, that is also not coming-of-age day...... Suffering that once a year must withstand,” Nightingale hesitant, continues saying that „she depended upon the alchemy medicine to cause oneself lethargic sleep in the past, but that meaningless...... When magic power backlash she revives instantaneously, and lost the ability of revolt.” “的确如此,共助会里也曾有人想借助昏迷来渡过邪魔噬体,那还不是成年日……只是一年一度所必须承受的折磨,”夜莺犹豫了下,继续说道,“她依靠炼金药物使自己昏睡过去,但那毫无意义……魔力反噬时她瞬间苏醒过来,并且失去了反抗的能力。” „This pain gradually does not increase?” “这种痛苦不是逐渐增加的吗？” „It is not, when that time coming, the pain will arrive like Thunder, how long but continues to be actually different from person to person. My sisters are not very by no means strong, but......” her sound lowered. “并不是,当那个时刻到来时,痛苦会如雷霆般降临,但持续多久却因人而异。我的姐妹并非不够坚强,只是……”她的声音低了下去。 Roland understands that her meaning, this time limit unknown ruling is in itself suffering, does not know how long oneself have insisted, does not know oneself must insist how long-- is similar to the this one boat that in the great waves turbulent sea drifts, is very easy the desire that gives up seeking livehood. 罗兰明白她的意思,这种时限未知的判决本身就是一种折磨,不知道自己已经坚持了多久,不知道自己还要坚持多久——如同在浪涛汹涌的大海上漂泊的孤舟,很容易让人放弃求生的欲望。 In the silence, he felt a hand according to oneself shoulder. 在沉默中,他感到一只手按在了自己肩头。 „In drifting about destitute in several years, I saw too had died, witches like was treated by the domestic animal, strangles and burns, or is suffered dead by the item that noble treated as to seek pleasure little. witch that escapes by luck also can only be far away from the crowd, is passing the secluded from the world day. But does not know Holy Mountain situated where, expectation that but in their hearts is unattainable,” the Nightingale sound was gentle than the past, „, but Anna was different, besides the Cooperation Association sisters, my first time saw that some people so will care to witch. Her was needed, attached great importance, was treated as the normal person same to regard...... Your highness, even if Anna cannot support adulthood, she had also found oneself Holy Mountain.” “在颠沛流离地数年里,我见过太多死亡,女巫们像被牲畜一样对待,绞死、烧死、或被贵族当做取乐的道具一点点折磨而死。侥幸逃生的女巫也只能远离人群,过着与世隔绝的日子。而不知位于何处的圣山,只是她们心中遥不可及的奢望,”夜莺的声音比以往都要柔和,“但安娜不同,除了共助会的姐妹们外,我第一次看到有人会对女巫如此关心。她被人需要,被人重视,被人当作正常人一样看待……殿下,即使安娜没能撑过成年,她也已经找到了自己的圣山。” But this is not the result that he hopes, Roland closes the eye, recalled that initially met when with her the scene. 但这不是他所希望的结局,罗兰闭上眼睛,回想起当初与她见面时的情景。 She scarlet * bare the both feet, the clothes are total wreck, places the prisoner's cage, on the face has not actually dreaded, both eyes never had been polluted likely lake surface, is limpid and tranquil. 她赤*裸着双脚,衣服破烂不堪,身处囚笼,脸上却没有丝毫畏惧,双眼像是从未被污染过的湖面,清澈而平静。 She is the flame, actually not flame bracelet. 她是火焰,却又不似火焰般跳脱。 Picture rotations, just like the galloping-horse lanterns. 画面一张张轮转,恍如走马灯。 " I have satisfied your curiosity, Sir, now can kill me? " 「我满足了你的好奇心,大人,现在可以杀死我了吗？」 " I have not injured others with it. " 「我从没有用它伤害过别人。」 " I only want to treat in the side of your highness, that is all. " 「我只想待在殿下的身边,仅此而已。」 " demonic bite cannot kill me, I will defeat it. " 「邪魔噬体杀不死我,我会战胜它。」 " Are you having a dream? Which my does not go. " 「你在做梦么？我哪儿也不去。」 ...... …… Roland suppresses the turbulent train of thought that said in a low voice, „I will accompany her to the last minute.” 罗兰抑制住汹涌的思绪,低声说,“我会陪她到最后一刻。” „I am also,...... Thank you.” “我也是,还有……谢谢你。” After having had the dinner, Nana also came, heard Anna soon to pass adulthood, she also insisted that must remain. Roland has to arrange a room to pass the night to Tigu Pine that the accompaniment comes on more than two. 吃过晚饭后,娜娜瓦也来了,听到安娜即将度过成年,她也坚持要留下来。罗兰不得不在二层多安排出一间屋子给陪同前来的提古.派恩过夜。 Then, Roland and two witch like this sit in a circle in the bedside, calmly waited for that at midnight arrives. 就这样,罗兰和两名女巫就这样围坐在床边,静静等待午夜降临。 Regarding Nightingale and Nana, they must withstand the pain of demonic bite in the winter of this year similarly, fortunately everyone the date of awakening was not same, otherwise three witch must unknown whereabouts be tested at the same time, Roland estimated oneself had no way to install to treat again calmly in the room. 对于夜莺和娜娜瓦而言,她们同样要在今年冬天承受邪魔噬体之苦,所幸每个人的觉醒之日并不相同,不然三名女巫都要在同一时刻遭受生死不明的考验,罗兰估计自己没法再强装镇定地待在房里。 In small town does not have the bell tower, in the room of Candlelight twilight, passing of time becomes slurred. The cold wind is blowing bugle and beating drums the window, once for a while when can hear the air current passing over gently and swiftly window seam wailing sound. In Roland felt when a feeling of weariness raids the heart, Nightingale spoke of suddenly: „Started.” 小镇里没有钟楼,在烛火微明的房间中,时间的流逝变得模糊不清。寒风吹打着窗户,时不时能听到气流掠过窗缝时的尖啸声。就在罗兰感到一丝倦意袭上心头时,夜莺突然说到:“开始了。” Only then she can notice that Anna within the body that rolls magic power to start becomes restless, the green flame group becomes more and more rich, the center section by the incandescent blackout, manic magic power gathers to the center, was pulled likely by anything general, it is struggling, tumbling, is actually not helping matters. 只有她才能看到安娜体内那团魔力开始变得不安起来,绿色的焰团变得越来越浓郁,中心部分由白炽转暗,狂躁的魔力向中心汇聚,像是被什么拉扯住一般,它挣扎着,翻滚着,却无济于事。 Roland cannot see these changes, but he also realized not the place of suiting. 罗兰看不到这些变化,但他也察觉出了不对劲之处。 The flame of candle peak sways, but the indoor does not have the wind. The light that the flame sends out is getting more and more dark, seemed being swallowed by the surrounding shadow, then the flame sharp color occurred changed the-- orange red flame to turn into the quiet blue green flame. 蜡烛顶端的火苗摇晃起来,而室内并没有风。火苗发出的光越来越暗,仿佛正被周围的阴影吞噬,接着焰尖的颜色发生了变化——橙红色的火光变成了幽碧的绿焰。 He looks to the female in bed, Anna still in the deep sleep, her facial features have not changed, as if all these have nothing to do with her. 他望向床中的女子,安娜依然在沉睡,她的面容没有丝毫变化,仿佛这一切都和她无关。 This time Candlelight was almost hidden-- is not the flame has extinguished, but was the green flame bit by bit is swallowing the orange-red part, completely vanished until the ray, all people fell into the darkness. 此时的烛火几乎完全隐没——并非火焰熄灭了,而是绿焰正在一点一点吞噬橙红的部分,直至光芒完全消失,所有人都陷入黑暗之中。 But quick, the flame has shone. But this, the flame on candlestick turned into pure deep green. Three people shine under a piece of green light, is dumbfounded mutually, is a little hard to understand that this is any situation. 但很快,火光重新亮了起来。只不过这回,烛台上的火焰变成了纯粹的碧绿。三人映照在一片绿光之下,互相大眼瞪小眼,有点难以理解这到底是什么情况。 But at this time, a moan of Anna pulls back on three people of vision her. 而此时,安娜的一声呻吟将三人的目光都拉回到她身上。 She has opened the eye slowly. 她缓缓地睁开了眼睛。 „Anna......” Roland is shocked, did she wake up? “安娜……”罗兰愣住,她醒来了？ The females blinked, shows smile to him, then extends the right hand, spreads out the palm, hands in front of the prince. 女子眨了眨眼,对他露出微笑,接着伸出右手,摊开手掌,递到王子面前。 One group of green fires leap from the palm, static combustion. 一团绿火从掌心跃出,静静的燃烧。 Why does not know, Roland thought oneself have understood the meaning of opposite party. His hesitant moment, will point in the insertion flame slowly, was expected that the scalding hot feeling has not transmitted, has, but is similar to by the lukewarm water is wrapped the general gentleness and warm feeling. 不知为何,罗兰觉得自己读懂了对方的意思。他迟疑片刻,缓缓将手指插入火焰中,预料中的灼热感并未传来,有的,只是如同被温水包裹起来一般的柔和与暖意。
