傍晚时分,夕阳已经靠在西侧的地平线上,巨大的日轮在西部森林上镀了一层金红色的亮边,沿着云层蔓延出来的辉光就好像一道帷幕般横贯过整个天穹,并将整个城市也染上和森林一样的金红。GawainbringsAmberto walkongoing to the Holy LightChurchroad, transmitson behalf of several mainbell towers of dingfromcity the day workfinished, ding-donglocalreverberationinstreetmarketplaces.高文带着琥珀走在前往圣光教堂的路上,代表日工结束的钟声从城内的几座主要钟楼传来,当当当地回荡在街道市井之间。„Yeah- got off workyeah!” The ear of Ambersets upright, listening the ding that in the airis hearing, on the faceto revealhappylook, „thatIdo not accompany......”
“哎-下班了哎!”琥珀的耳朵竖起来,听着空气中传来的钟声,脸上露出高兴的模样,“那我不陪……”Gawaincarried the Miss Half-Elfcollarconveniently, entrained side thisgirlreturns: „Do not be noisy- youare not pressingthisman-hourtablecoming and going to work. The words saying that makesyougo toChurchsoto be difficult? Youdid not sayChurchthattype that Wrighthandleshasn't letyouruncomfortableatmosphere?”高文顺手就拎住了半精灵小姐的领子,把这姑娘拽回到身旁:“别闹-你又不是按着这个工时表上下班的。话说让你去一趟教堂就这么难呢么?你不是说莱特打理的教堂并没有那种让你难受的气氛么?”Amberwas being carried the collarbyGawain, makes an effortto wiggle forwardwhiletalked over: „ButWrightis very bothersome, alwayshas the opportunityto talk overanythingto be honestwithme, is steady, cannotbe suspicious, cannotbe lazy, cannotthis unable why...... Iam notHoly Lightbelievermustlisten tohimto talk over......”琥珀被高文拎着领子,一边使劲扭来扭去一边念念叨叨:“可是莱特很烦诶,总是有机会就跟我念叨什么要诚实,要稳重,不能偷摸,不能懒惰,不能这不能那的……我又不是圣光信徒为什么要听他念叨嘛……”Gawainshot a look atthisgirlone: „Youwanted such a saying...... Ito have a mindyouto tie upinHoly LightChurchare educatedwell.”高文瞥了这姑娘一眼:“你要这么一说……我都有心把你绑在圣光教堂里好好接受教育了。”Amber: „...... Yeah my violent temper, youlook atmyshape of the mouth, youlooked that myshape of the mouth- youlooked that myshape of the mouthdo not hitme......”琥珀:“……哎我这暴脾气,你看我口型,你看我口型-你看完我口型可别打我……”Gawaina littlesuspectedsuddenly is oneselfgo outbringsAmberbeing a wrongdecision- hea littleregretted that hated the godbothersomefellow who the ghosttired to takethisgod.高文突然有点怀疑自己出门带着琥珀是不是个错误的决定-他有点后悔把这个神憎鬼厌的神烦家伙带上了。Butgoes outsideAmberhas not been responsible forfall-guy...... hefinding itsilly.
但出门的时候身边没有个琥珀负责捧哏……他又觉得无聊的很。This is really a contradiction that madeonehave a headache about.
这真是个令人头疼的矛盾。Churchgateunlatched, insidehas the soundto transmitindistinctly, seems preaching, Gawainlooked downAmberone, hintedthisgirlto go in the looklaterdo not disturb, lateropened the Churchdoorgently.教堂的门虚掩着,里面隐隐约约有声音传来,似乎正在进行布道,高文低头看了琥珀一眼,用眼神示意这姑娘进去之后别捣乱,随后轻轻推开了教堂的门。TranquilauspiciousatmospherelingersinChurch, Gawainsaw that PriestWrightwears a verysimpleshortrobeto standonpulpit, was telling that is born the story at the beginning about Holy Light, butcitizen that more than tencometo listensitsonaisleboth sidesbench, a whole bodysends outglimmer, to appear the translucentshape the smallformalsoto followeveryoneto siton the chairtogether, but alsofollows the example the appearance that is raising headto setlistensearnestly, buteachhear of severalwill startto wiggle forwardlookedeverywherechaotically,obviouslybasiconhas not focusedinthis.
一股平静祥和的气氛萦绕在教堂中,高文看到牧师莱特穿着一身很朴素的短袍站在布道台上,正讲述关于圣光诞生之初的故事,而十几名前来听讲的领民则坐在走道两旁的长椅上,一个浑身散发出微光、呈半透明状的小小身影也跟着大家一起坐在椅子上,还有样学样地仰着头做出认真听讲的样子,只不过每听几句就会开始扭来扭去地到处乱看,显然根本就没有把心思放在这上面。GawaindrawsAmberto look for the positionto sit downin the back rowsilently, Wrighthad seenthem, stoppedslightly, Gawainthensignaled by noddingneed notto careslightly, makinghimcontinueto speak.高文拉着琥珀默不作声地在后排找位置坐下,莱特已经看到了他们,稍微停顿了一下,高文便微微点头示意不用在意,让他继续宣讲。
The Wrightcalmgentlevoiceis reverberatinginChurch: „......, whenthattime‚long night’continuestoseventhday, initialHoly Lightwas then bornin the darkesttime, a horse breedingperson with brightpray, the hopearrivesbrightly, thereforeHoly Lightthenresponded tohim, loweredbrightlyin the blackfog......”莱特沉稳柔和的嗓音在教堂中回荡着:“……在那次‘永夜’持续到第七天的时候,最初的圣光便在最黑暗的时刻诞生了,一个养马人怀着对光明的祈盼,祈求光明降临,于是圣光便回应他,在黑雾中降下了光明……”Thisisabout the story that Holy Lightis born, the people who eachbelievesHoly Lightknowit, butWright , said thisstoryleft out the have timehole, topraise of no reasonGod of Holy Light, anddeducted the simpleststorywith the simpleststraightforwardwords- person who firstimploredHoly Lightfromdayelecting„the Holy Lightgodcaused”to turn into the ordinaryhorse breedingperson, imploring the Holy Lightmotivealsofrom„to praiseGod of Holy Light, attackeddarkheresy”to turn„to hope that outside the long nightblackfogsought for the herbal medicineto treatownfamily member”.
这是关于圣光诞生的故事,每一个信仰圣光的人都知道它,但莱特在讲这个故事的时候略去了所有空洞的、对圣光之神的无端赞美,并用最简单直白的话语演绎了最朴实的故事-第一个祈求圣光的人从天选的“圣光神使”变成了普通的养马人,祈求圣光的动机也从“赞美圣光之神,打击黑暗异端”变成了“希望到永夜黑雾外面寻找草药治疗自己的家人”。Thischangelooks likeinprofessionHoly LightPriestpossiblyis the hugeprovocation, butis notunderstands the historyregardingthesevery much, evenhas never looked at the civilianbelievers of anyHoly Lightancient book, theywill not thinkso many, theywill feelthisbrand-newstoryamusing, thereforethenhearswith total concentration.
这种改变在职业的圣光神官看来可能是巨大的挑衅,但对于那些并不是很了解历史,甚至从未看过任何一本圣光典籍的平民信众而言,他们并不会想这么多,他们只是会觉得这个全新的故事更加有趣,因此便听得聚精会神。Butspecialyoungaudiencewere notthatearnest, on the frontseat, a whole bodysent out the glimmersmallformto fluttersuddenly, shelookedcuriouslysurrounding, thenhad the brightsmileto fluttertoGawainin front, swayedin the midairgreets.
但一位特殊的小听众就不是那么认真了,前排的座椅上,一个全身散发微光的小小身影突然飘了起来,她好奇地看了周围一圈,便带着灿烂的笑容飘到高文面前,在半空晃来晃去地打招呼。„Hello, Emily.”Gawainsaidvery muchlow voice.
“你好,艾米丽。”高文很小声地说道。„Hee hee......”Emilysends out the delightfulchuckle, thenmoves fastfallsonGawainseat.
“嘻嘻……”艾米丽发出悦耳的轻笑,然后飘飘忽忽地落在高文身旁的座椅上。Gawainnoticed the body of little girlto haveportionandseat„fusion”inone.高文注意到小姑娘的身体有一部分和座椅“融合”在了一起。
Obviously, cannotsitlike the entityasEmily of spiritbodyinsomeplacecalmly and steadily, sheislook that pretendsto sit downis just flutteringin the position of chair, is squatting the horse stancein the midair......
很显然,作为灵体的艾米丽并不像实体那样可以安安稳稳地坐在某个地方,她只不过是装作坐下的模样在椅子的位置飘着,在半空中蹲着马步……Butsheas ifhas funvery much.
但她似乎很乐在其中。Onpulpit, the speaking of Wrightis still in progress: „...... Peoplewere agreeing with the Holy Lightsay/waytobrightyearning, thereforepursues the brightpersonthen to obtainHoly Light's Favoured, in front ofHoly Light, the horse breedingpersonandPopeis also equal, because ofthatHoly Lightmoraltallpassed/livedatmoneywith the height of positionweightin any case, such asin front of the mountain, the flowers and plantstreesbirds and beasts on plaincannot see the heightsame......, ifpursuesthathighermorality and justice, statusalsoindifferentlyin any case.”布道台上,莱特的宣讲还在进行:“……人们对光明的向往正契合了圣光的道,因此追求光明的人便能得到圣光眷顾,在圣光面前,养马人和教皇也是平等的,因为那圣光的道义高过以金钱和地位衡量的高低贵贱,就如在高山面前,平原上的花草树木飞禽走兽都看不出高低一样……若是追求那更高的道义,身份也就无所谓贵贱了。”„Thisgiantsaidalsoa littlemeaning,”Amber, although before , talked over, actuallyalsolistened topreaching of twoWrightat this timeearnestly, appraisedself-effacingly, „, althoughIdid not likethattype of putting on a serious facehypocrisylook, buthesaidwas of pleasant to hear than zealot of otherplaces.”
“这大个子说的还有点意思嘛,”琥珀虽然之前念叨了一路,这时候却也认真听了两句莱特的布道,摇头晃脑地评价起来,“虽然我不喜欢那种板着脸假正经的模样,但他说的比其他地方的神棍好听多了。”Gawainslightly nodded of: „Somelimitations......, butoverallalsowell.”高文微微点了点头:“还是有些局限性……但总体而言还不错。”Emilyis raising head, spacing out, emitted a wordsuddenly: „...... Bored.”
艾米丽仰着头,神游天外了一下,突然冒出一个词:“……无聊。”Amberwas shockedimmediately, looks atis flutteringdumbfoundedlyin the chairpositionEmily who pretendsto sit: „Will youspeakyeah?!”琥珀顿时就愣住了,目瞪口呆地看着正飘在椅子位置假装坐着的艾米丽:“你会说话哎?!”„Meeting,”Emilyis blinking the eye, thensuddenlyis staring atbehind the Amberhead, looked for twosecondsto saylost,„onelder sisteryourheadhadtogetherblack lightyeah......”
“会啊,”艾米丽眨巴着眼睛,然后突然盯着琥珀脑袋后面,出神地看了两秒才说道,“姐姐你脑袋上面有一道黑光哎……”„Hiis all right, IamdarknightGod's Chosen, thatisGoddessgivesmyblessing,” a Amberfacebeckons with the handindifferently, thencuriouslylooks atEmily, „lastmeetingtimeyoufloatto flutterandhee heesmile, Ialsothink that youwill not speak......”
“嗨没事,我是暗夜神选,那是女神给我的祝福,”琥珀一脸无所谓地摆摆手,然后好奇地看着艾米丽,“上次见面的时候你就只是飘来飘去和嘻嘻地笑,我还以为你不会说话呢……”Emilylooked up, spacing outlook, after is very again long, suddenlyhee heesmiled, flew the roofto come uplight.
艾米丽再次仰起头,一副神游天外的模样,很久之后才突然嘻嘻地笑了起来,轻飘飘地飞到屋顶上去了。Preaching of Wrightalsoarrived at the last act: „...... Oureveryonehasto track down the Holy Lightpower, such aseveryonecanyearn for the light, Holy Lightwill look after everyone, butnot onlylooks in the head of Priestandpriest- peopleoffertoChurch, forjustice, butshould notbedisbursing moneywhereaboutsChurch‚purchase’Holy Light, becauseHoly Lightinbornthenin everyone......莱特的布道也到了尾声:“……我们每个人都有追寻圣光的权力,就如人人都可以向往光明,圣光会照拂每一个人,而不仅仅照拂在神官和祭司的头上-人们对教会奉献,是为了公义,而不应该是出钱去向教会‘购买’圣光,因为圣光天生便在每一个人心里……„So long asfollows the moral excellence, the tolerantandhonesthearthandles affairswith the justiceandbenevolence, everyonehas the luck......”
“只要遵循美德,以公义、仁爱、宽容、正直的心去行事,人人都是有福的……”
The smallformjumps downfrom the roof, moves fast„pounding”like a fallen leafon the shoulder of Wright, Emilyhappyappearance, lifts the arm of translucentto brandish, in the personwithChurchis greeting: „Hū-, saystoday!”
小小的身影从屋顶上一跃而下,像一片落叶般飘飘忽忽地“砸”在莱特的肩膀上,艾米丽一脸开心的样子,抬起半透明的手臂挥舞着,跟教堂里的人打着招呼:“呼-啊,今天讲完啦!”On the Wrightfaceis somewhat awkward, wishletsEmilydiligentlyfrom the shoulder, whilein the persontoChurchis nodding: „Todaytalks abouthere.”莱特脸上有些尴尬,一边努力想要让艾米丽从肩膀上下来,一边对教堂里的人点着头:“今天就讲到这里。”Listenspeople who preachedsomewhat unable to bearsmile, theyresponded toEmily'sgreetingwith a smile, stood up the preparationto leave, butsomepeoplenoticedFeudal Lordto situntilthis timeonfinally a row of chair, thereforesalutedto salutetoGawainquickly.
听布道的人们有些忍不住已经笑了起来,他们笑着回应艾米丽的招呼,纷纷站起身准备离开,而其中一些人直到这时候才注意到领主就坐在最后排的椅子上,于是赶快对高文行礼致敬。Gawain11responded tothem, after lastbelieveralsoleavesChurch, before hearrives atpulpit, to the Wrightslight nod: „Had everyoneadapted toEmilyevidently?”高文一一回应了他们,等到最后一个信徒也离开教堂之后,他才来到布道台前,对莱特微微点头:“看样子大家已经适应了艾米丽?”„Juststartedherto have a scareChurchbeliever- shealwayshideson the roof, thensuddenlyjumps down,”Wrightdoes not know whether to laugh or crysaid,„Iusedmanytimesto explaintopeopleclearEmily'sorigin, nowpeopledo not fearher.”
“刚开始她把来教堂的信徒吓了一跳-她总是藏在屋顶上,然后突然跳下来,”莱特哭笑不得地说道,“我用了很多功夫才向人们解释清艾米丽的来历,现在人们已经不怕她了。”Emilypokes head from the Wrightshoulder, is looking aroundinquisitively.
艾米丽从莱特肩膀后面探出头来,探头探脑地四下张望着。Gawainputs out a hand, is tryinghead that touchedEmily- thishas very marvelousfeel, hishandcanpass throughEmily'sbodydirectly, buthas the slightresistance, whentouching the little girlsendingsilk, hecanfeel that has an obviousheatto transmit, thatis the temperature that temperateHoly Lightbrings.高文伸出手去,试着摸了摸艾米丽的脑袋-这有着很奇妙的手感,他的手可以直接穿过艾米丽的身体,但还是有些微的阻力,在触摸到小姑娘的发丝时,他可以感觉到有一种明显的热量传来,那是温和的圣光所带来的温度。Wrightsaidon own initiative: „Hersituationas ifstabilized- bodyandmindstabilized.”莱特主动说道:“她的情况似乎稳定下来了-身体和心智都稳定了很多。”Gawainnods: „What has Carmelsaid?”高文点点头:“卡迈尔有说过什么吗?”„GrandmasterCarmelsaid that herconditionis very good, pays attentionto observe. In additionI was mainly avoidedherrecentlytoofor a long time outside sunbathe......”
“卡迈尔大师说她的状况很好,注意观察就可以。除此之外我最近主要是避免她太长时间在外面晒太阳……”Gawainis a little surprised: „Can'tsunbathe? Isn't she Holy Lightspiritbody? Whysamewill fear the sunlightwithundead?”高文有点惊讶:“不能晒太阳?她不是圣光灵体么?为什么会和亡灵一样惧怕阳光?”Wrightonelistensto know that Gawainmisunderstood, hurriesto explain: „, Does not fear the sunlight, will beexposes to the suntoo the words of Sunshebecomesverybright, in the eveningdark, Iwill have no wayto sleepfrom the start......”莱特一听就知道高文误会了,赶紧解释:“哦,不是惧怕阳光,是晒太多太阳的话她就会变得非常亮,晚上都暗不下来,我压根没法睡觉……”NearbyAmbercalls out in alarmimmediately: „Do yourest the same placewithEmily?!”
旁边琥珀顿时惊呼起来:“你跟艾米丽睡一起啊?!”Wrightall of a suddenawkwardin the extreme, does not know whether to laugh or cryis explaining: „Divided the room, but after shefalls asleep, will cannot help but floatto flutterinentireChurch......”莱特一下子尴尬的无以复加,哭笑不得地解释着:“是分了房间的,但她睡着之后就会不由自主地在整个教堂里飘来飘去……”Gawainthinks,patted the shoulder of Wrightvery muchearnestly: „Youdo not supporteasily.”高文想了想,很认真地拍了拍莱特的肩膀:“你也挺不容易的。”„Fortunately- she chaoticfloatingsituationis much betternow, moreoverIcancover the eyewith the arrange/cloth.”
“还好-她现在乱飘的情况好多了,而且我可以用布把眼睛蒙上。”„Ilook foryoutoday, wantsto chat the doctrine of protestantismwithyou, and disseminationissue of newdoctrine,”Gawainbefore the topicwas getting more and more crookedpulled back the subjectpromptly, his sidebandWrightandAmbersat downonnearbybench, at the same timespoke thoughtlessly saying that „Iheardyouto preacha moment ago- youhave been as if attemptingourprevioustimeto discuss the doctrine that saidtobeliever.”
“我今天来找你,是想跟你聊聊新教的教义,以及新教义的传播问题,”高文在话题越来越歪之前及时拉回了正题,他一边带着莱特和琥珀在附近的长椅上坐下,一边随口说道,“我刚才听到了你的布道-你似乎已经在尝试着把我们上次商量出来的教义讲给信徒了。”„Yes, Ireorganized the thing that yourpreviousandI discussed that”Wrightnods, returned„‚classicsright to interpret’to the believers, stressed that the Religionleaderwas not equal to the absolute authority;Downplays the God of Holy Lightimage, simultaneouslywithonesetmore general the moral outlook that is easyto acceptgraduallyreplacesoriginally the severecanon;Stressed that tolerant and package, keeps pace with the timeswith the self-control, excludesin the primitivedoctrineallextreme, stubborn, the antiforeigncontent, expandspotentialbeliever that the newdoctrinecancoveras far as possible. The currentnewdoctrine conducts regardingthesethreepoints.”
“是的,我整理了您上次和我谈的东西,”莱特点点头,“把‘经典解释权’交还给信众,强调宗教领袖不等于绝对权威;淡化圣光之神的形象,同时用一套更普适的、更易于接受的道德观来逐步取代原本严苛的教规;强调宽容并包、与时俱进和自我约束,剔除原始教义中所有极端的、顽固的、排外的内容,尽可能扩大新教义能够覆盖的潜在信徒。目前的新教义都是围绕这三点进行的。”„Do believersaccept?”
“信众接受么?”„Manypeople are very at first puzzled, but can still accept, fewfirmbelieverdisplay the contradiction, butIbelieve that theircontradictionscanbe softened,”Wright said that on the facerevealsto wipe the complexmood, „the overwhelming majorityordinarybelieversare the civilians, beforearriving atCecil, does not know, Sacred Bookhas not looked at the poorperson the character, whattheyactuallydo not knowin the Holy Lightancient bookto writeisanything, whatbasicallyislocalPriestspeaksthemonletter/believeswhat, but the devoutdegree of localPriestalsodo not caretheseperson, so long asDivine SpellgraspsinChurchInhand, theseordinarybelieverstoseekDivine Spellcan the little darlingtake out money, thesePriestalsosatisfied...... in this case, wepromote the newdoctrineinsteadbecomeveryeasy.”
“起初很多人很困惑,但仍然能够接受,只有很少的坚定信徒表现出抵触,但我相信他们的抵触是可以被软化的,”莱特说道,脸上流露出一抹复杂的情绪,“绝大部分普通信众都是平民,在来到塞西尔之前,是连字都不认识、一本教典都没看过的贫苦人,他们其实根本不知道圣光典籍上写的是什么,基本上就是当地的牧师讲什么他们就信什么,而当地牧师也不在意这些人的虔诚程度,只要神术掌握在教会手里,那些普通信众为了求取神术能够乖乖掏钱,那些牧师也就满意了……在这种情况下,我们推广新教义反而变得很容易。”„Truehindranceis notthesepeople, butbenefit, the Luan citypriestswill resist the newdoctrinemost intenseperson,”Gawain said that „, thereforeourplansmustenternext.”
“真正的阻碍不是那些民众,而是既得利益者,卢安城的教士们才是会抵制新教义最激烈的人,”高文说道,“所以我们的计划要进入下一步了。”„Youorderedby all means.”
“您只管下令。”
A Gawainslightlystop, earnestlyeye of looks atWright: „Do youknowin the city the newly-builtprinting house?”高文略一停顿,认真地看着莱特的眼睛:“你知道城里新建的印刷工厂吧?”„Naturally, Ialsovisitedone- thattrulyis the inconceivablescene.”
“当然,我还去参观了一下-那确实是不可思议的场景。”„Youguess, if100,000writes the newdoctrineproclaimedflier and bookletpoundsinLuan city, how will thatinsidepriestsdo?”
“你猜,如果有十万份写着新教义的宣传单和小册子砸在卢安城里,那里面的教士们会怎么做?”
