Roland does startled, „whatissuehave?”罗兰怔了怔,“有什么问题吗?”„Wasthis......”Felicehesitant, „heard that inyourterritory, has the lastyearonly awakenedwitch?”
“是这样……”菲丽丝犹豫了下,“听说您的领地里,上一年只觉醒了一名女巫?”Heturns out a list--thatfrom the draweris the Wendystatisticstohim, aboverecordseachwitchawakening dayandcoming-of-age day, in order to avoidhemisses the witchessecondnew student.
他从抽屉里翻出一张名单——那是温蒂统计给他的,上面记录着每个女巫的觉醒日与成年日,以免他错过女巫们的第二次新生。„Shouldright,”Rolandconsult a list, the nod said that „, althoughlast yearMonths of Demonsnewjoiningtwowitch, butWhite Paperhas awakenedthreeyears ago, was considered as the lastpast yearsto awaken, only hadAsiaone...... Moreoverherawakening dayexactly is coming-of-age day.”
“应该没错,”罗兰查阅了一遍名单,点头道,“虽然上年邪月新加入了两名女巫,但白纸早在三年前就已经觉醒,算得上当年觉醒的,只有阿夏一个……而且她的觉醒日恰好便是成年日。”„Thisshould not, Your Majesty,”Felicedraw out the browpressed, „how manypeoplelastyear does yourcityhave? Are 20,00030,000?”
“这不应该,陛下,”菲丽丝蹙起了眉头,“上一年您的城市有多少人?20000还是30000?”„Shouldhave50,000,”spoke of the population, Rolandsomewhatwas self-satisfied, „this year'sNeverwinter Citypopulationalreadyover100,000.”
“应该有50000吧,”说到人口,罗兰不禁有些得意,“今年无冬城的人数已经超过100000了。”„100,000wordsandearlyAnlietaare almost the same, beforewithdrawing fromFertile Plain, Taqilaalso about 250,000, but...... Youknow how manythesetwoHoly Cityevery yearawakeningpopulationare?”Felicewhispered, „is the magic powermost deficienttime, Anlietahas not been lower thantenpeople, Taqilahas approachedthisnumberthreetimes.”
“100000的话和早期的安列塔相差无几,直到退出沃土平原之前,塔其拉也不过250000左右,可……您知道这两座圣城每年的觉醒人数是多少吗?”菲丽丝沉声道,“就算是魔力最为贫乏的时期,安列塔也没有低于过十人,塔其拉则接近这个数目的三倍。”„magic power...... Deficienttime?”
“魔力……贫乏时期?”„Right, is fullhasfluctuatinginmagic power of thisworld, is ordinarylike the tide.”Agathaanswered, „after Red Moonarrived atthattwoyears were also the magic powermost abundanttimes, almostwill havenewwitchto appearevery day. magic power that afterwarddrifts awaywill weakenslowly, toRed Moonamongthese days, canregard as the deficienttimetwice, whenalmostonly thenMonths of Demonswill presentawakened.”
“没错,充盈于这个世界的魔力是有起伏的,就像潮汐一般。”爱葛莎解释道,“红月降临后的那两年也是魔力最为充裕的时刻,几乎每天都会有新女巫出现。随后游离的魔力会慢慢减弱,到两次红月之间的这段时间,便可视作贫乏期,差不多只有等到邪魔之月才会出现觉醒者。”Is more exuberantaboutmagic power, witchis easierto awakenthis, before Roland, listens toAgathato raise. Buthethinks that magic powerwill welcome a timepeak every year, has not thought that itwill also take for several hundredyearsto experience the largefluctuationas the cycle. „ButweleftthirdWar of Divine Willnot to be far.”
关于魔力越旺盛,女巫越容易觉醒这点,罗兰之前也听爱葛莎提起过。只不过他原以为魔力每一年都会迎来一次高峰,没想到它还会以数百年为周期而出现大幅波动。“可我们离第三次神意之战没有多远了。”„Thisis the most worryingissue,”Felicelooksto worry about the color/look, „the appearance of Infernal Dread Beastmeans that Red Moon , the magic powertrendshouldbeeven moreactive, butaccording to the test of Celine, factalsoindeedso. Butwhyawakeningquantitysuchlow of witch? Even ifin the citynobodyawakens, the suburbcitiesandvillageshould many witchbe also bornto--for examplein the Taqilatime, witch that the peripheralterritoryprovidesare more than Holy City. Generally speaking, total populationis bigger, witchare more, thisis the rule that Federationseveral hundredyearssummarize.”
“这才是最让人担心的问题,”菲丽丝面露担忧之色,“地狱惧兽的出现意味着红月将至,魔力趋势应该是愈发活跃,而根据塞琳的测试,事实也的确如此。但为什么女巫的觉醒数量会如此之低?就算城市里无人觉醒,郊外城镇、村落应该也有不少女巫诞生才对——例如在塔其拉时代,周边领地提供的女巫就比圣城还要多。一般来说,人口总量越大,女巫就越多,这是联合会几百年总结出来的规律。”„Ithinkfrom the beginningwasNeverwinter Citywhengathering the populationintendsto abandon the female, afterwardthinks that the Church'sinfluencemadenewbornwitchnot dareeasily the exposestatus, causingthemnot to haveimmediatelyjoiningNeverwinter City...... The result seems like notsuch a matter.”Agathasaidslowly,„that sideParshahas also helddiscussions, the conclusion that finallyresults is: Perhapshadanyfactorto affectawakening of newwitch, andthere are the trend of graduallyexpanding.”
“我一开始以为是无冬城在招揽人口时有意摒弃了女子,后来又认为教会的影响让新生女巫不敢轻易暴露身份,导致她们没有立刻加入无冬城……结果看来并不是这么回事。”爱葛莎缓缓说道,“帕莎那边也进行了讨论,最终得出来的结论是:或许有什么因素影响了新女巫的觉醒,并且有逐渐扩大的趋势。”Rolandponderedhas some little time opened the mouth saying that „supposedthisguesswas correct, whatfactor did youhave the meansto discover have createdthis point?”罗兰沉思了好一会儿才开口道,“假设这个猜测是正确的,你们有办法找出到底是什么因素造成了这一点吗?”Theylooked atonemutually, simultaneously shook the head.
两人互相望了一眼,齐齐摇头。„Sinceis unable to solve, firsttreated asgodsto resttemporarily,”helet go saying that „no matter how in any case the awakeningprobabilitychanged, we must expelLand of the DawnDevil, not?”
“既然无法解决,就先当作神明暂时歇息了吧,”他摊手道,“反正不管觉醒几率怎样变化,我们也得将魔鬼赶出曙光境,不是么?”Is goodbecause of the industrial production, oncebuildsfoundation, does not haveGod Punishment Armyor the Heaven's Chosen Oneplanto the witchdemandis so intense, otherwisethisalso is really a newsawfully.
好在工业化生产一旦打下基础,对女巫的需求远没有神罚军或天选者计划那么强烈,不然这还真是一个要命的消息。„Yousaid...... Trulyright,”Felice has probably not expectedRolandto resist the Devilconfidenceto be slightly not affected, is startleda whileto recover, „in any event, wemustdefeatDevil.”
“您说的……确实没错,”菲丽丝大概没料到罗兰对抗魔鬼的信心丝毫不受影响,怔了一会儿才回过神来,“无论如何,我们都要击败魔鬼。”„So,”Rolandsmiled, "Ah, right...... Iaskedyouto cometo wantbeforeto ask about a matter. ” Worried that narrated that possibly when heawakenscreatesto harmtowitch, „whenTaqila, howFederationdoes handlethiskind of event?”
“正是如此,”罗兰笑了笑,“啊,对了……我之前找你们来是想询问一件事情。”他将自己对女巫觉醒时可能造成危害的担忧讲述了一遍,“在塔其拉时,联合会是怎么处理此类事件的?”„Is very simple, Your Majesty,” the FelicetoneappearedEsteemed, sheno longerlooked straight aheadRoland, butlowered the headslightly, „thattimeallpeopleunderstoodhalfquarterrule.”
“很简单,陛下,”菲丽丝的语气显得更尊敬了一些,她不再直视罗兰,而是稍稍低下了头,“那个时代所有人都明白半刻钟规则。”„Halfquarterrule?”
“半刻钟规则?”„Yes, before witchawakens, does not have the indication, magic powerfrom the free stateto the gatheringinawakenedwithin the body, thisprocesswill probably continuehalfquarterabout.”Felicereturns saying that „from the beginningfirstis the abdomenproduces the stabbing painandscalding hotfaintly, even moreis then intense, presents the--concreteachedegreeto be different from person to personuntilfirstbacklash, the strongpersontoowill not even be affected, but the slightpricking can still realize.”
“是的,女巫觉醒前并不是毫无征兆的,魔力从游离状态到汇聚于觉醒者体内,这个过程大约会持续半刻钟左右。”菲丽丝回道,“一开始先是腹部隐隐产生刺痛与灼热,然后越发强烈,直到第一次反噬出现——具体的疼痛程度因人而异,身体强壮的人甚至不会受到太多影响,但细微的刺痛感仍是能察觉到的。”Herpaused, „, buthalfquarterrule is: So long aswitchannouncedthese daysloudlyoneselfwill soon awaken, the surroundingpersonmustleavesideherimmediately, ifhas not adopted the casualties that the evasioncauses, the mortal can not beg the compensationtoFederation\; If there is causedlossesto the fixedplace, is paid damagesbyFederation.”
她顿了顿,“而半刻钟规则便是:只要女巫在这段时间内大声宣告自己即将觉醒,周围的人必须立刻离开她身边,如果没有采取回避而造成的伤亡,凡人不得向联合会讨要补偿\;倘若对固定场所造成了损失,则由联合会赔付。”
This newprocedure, Rolandmusedactually, the premiseiseverybody is very familiarwithwitch, whenespecially when under agelittle girl--meets the suddenstabbing pain, the firstresponseismakesto announce,butdid not suspectoneselfatebadly the belly.
这倒是一个新鲜的做法,罗兰暗想,前提是人人都对女巫十分熟悉,特别是未成年的小姑娘——当遇到突如其来的刺痛时,第一反应是做出宣告,而不是怀疑自己吃坏了肚子。„If the injured partywithiswitch?”
“若受伤者同为女巫呢?”„Had not announced that ahead of time, newawakenedwill facepunishes--to whipor the wealth, regards the consequence that causesto decide. Ifannouncedbeforehand,Federationwill shoulder the full liability. Howeversuchsituationis rarely seen, after allcombat witch is in itself minority, butinitial periodawakeningis capable ofcausing the damagewere less.”
“没有提前宣告的,新觉醒者将会面临惩处——鞭笞或钱财,视造成的后果而定。若已经事先宣告,联合会将承担起全部责任。不过这样的情况并不多见,毕竟战斗女巫本身已是少数,而觉醒初期即有能力造成伤害的就更少了。”In other words, in the Taqilatime, mortal, ifhas not avoidedpromptly, then can only confessbad luck. Inuniquetimes that witchis a cut above other people, theysuchdobut actuallyalsoindisputable. Rolandimpossiblecopiesthismethodobviously, butcanuse for referenceto a certain extent.
换句话说,在塔其拉时代,凡人要是没有及时避开,便只能自认倒霉。在那个女巫高人一等的特殊年代,她们这么做倒也无可厚非。罗兰显然不可能照搬这个方法,但可以从一定程度上进行借鉴。Without a doubt, abandons the punishmentpart, halfquarterrulehas its advancedpoint: Itat leastpropagandized an idea, enablingeverybodyto understand that witchwas borninhuman, regardless ofaccepts, eachunder agefemalesmayawakenarewitch. Thisstops, the green lightlinelike the red candle of later generation, everybodycandothenonly thenobeys the rule, toavoidharming.
毫无疑问,抛开处罚部分,半刻钟规则有着其先进的一点:它至少宣传了一种理念,使得大家都明白女巫出生于人类内部,无论接不接受,每一个未成年女性都有可能觉醒为女巫。这就像后世的红灯停、绿灯行一样,大家所能做的便只有遵守规则,以避免损害。
Certainly completereliefisimpossible, Rolandponders over saying that ifdraws backinthisruleagainonestep, treats impartiallywitch and average person, andsending outto announce that after the injurygivesCity Hallto reveal, buthas not carried onto announceandcause the serious results, defers to the errorto offend somebody the trial...... Formulatesoneto stipulate that specially the regulation of witchbehavior, like the traffic law of later generation, couldalleviatethistype of contradictionto a certain extent.
当然完全免责是不可能的,罗兰思忖道,如果在此规则上再退一步,将女巫和普通人一视同仁,并且把发出宣告后的伤害交给市政厅兜底,而没有进行宣告、又造成了严重后果的,则按照过失伤人审判……或者专门制定一部规定女巫行为的律法,就像后世的交通法规一样,也许能在一定程度上缓和这种矛盾。
