Tollund continent, Great Dragon city Agundor, in council grand palace, blue dragon Melita?? Ponia and white dragon Noletta passed through extremely spacious palace corridor, walks toward the room that the council highest speaker is. 塔尔隆德大陆,巨龙城市阿贡多尔,评议团所处的宏伟宫殿内,蓝龙梅莉塔??珀尼亚和白龙诺蕾塔走过了极为宽敞的宫殿长廊,向着评议团最高议长所在的房间走去。 The broad ancient palace for ten thousand years tower a place in this stretch of land, in the palace is Melita sees the big familiar scene since childhood, she noticed that the dignified golden column is supporting these complicated arching beam, arches beam/sorghum Jiaocuo to form to be similar some monster skeleton structure, the vault that the grey crystal rock makes covers on arching beam/sorghum, each piece of roof is carving tedious complex pattern, is describing the Dragon race history commemorable instance, but by the corridor, the crystal translucent synthesis material hangs to fall along the column, twinkle star brilliance walks randomly on these crystal thin film appears, momentarily waiting. Visitor's reading and alternately. 恢弘的古老宫殿万年如一日地耸立在这片大地上,宫殿内是梅莉塔从小看到大的熟悉景象,她看到庄严的金色立柱支撑着那些繁复的拱梁,拱粱交错形成仿佛某种巨物骨架般的结构,灰晶岩制成的穹顶覆盖在拱粱上,每一片屋顶都雕刻着繁琐复杂的花纹,描绘着龙族历史值得纪念的瞬间,而在走廊两侧,水晶般半透明的合成物质沿着立柱垂坠下来,星星点点的光辉在那些水晶薄膜上游走浮现,随时等待着访客的阅读和交互。 Probably because of the influence of sacred rite, in council palace visitor few, on big corridor besides Melita two people then only then 3-5 work personnel is taking a walk, the service machinery of auto-run are more than person, these have the pale golden color or the light blue outer covering „iron servant” light wheel revolves rapidly, on the energy line along floor silent goes through between leaves of front doors and one by one columns, is maintaining in this palace the complex ancient technology facility, or is carrying out other orders from Omega, busy, as if will never be idle. 大概是因为神圣祭典的影响,评议团宫殿内访客寥寥,偌大的走廊上除了梅莉塔两人之外便只有三五个工作人员在走动,自动运行的服务机械比人还多,这些有着淡金色或浅蓝色外壳的“铁仆”光轮飞转,沿着地板上的能量线路无声穿行在一扇扇大门和一个个立柱间,维护着这座宫殿内复杂古老的技术设施,或者执行着来自“欧米伽”的其他命令,忙忙碌碌,仿佛永不清闲。 Complicated, fine, dignified to making person palpitation, advanced to inconceivable. 繁复,精美,庄严到令人心悸,先进到不可思议。 However under this fine outer covering, is the perished technology mire. 然而这精美的外壳下,是已经沉沦的技术泥潭。 Melita raised the head, in the looks at vault these numerous and diverse pattern as well as hide between the energy pipeline in pattern, cannot bear the low voice whisper: „Biggest turning to a new generation, trades pattern.” 梅莉塔抬起头,看着穹顶上那些繁杂的花纹以及隐藏在花纹之间的能量管线,忍不住小声嘀咕:“最大的升级换代,也不过是换个花纹。” technology walks to the limit, a wall prevents in front of all researcher, all knowledge and tools on hand are unable to vacillate this wall, therefore the society stagnates, civilization marches into the bottleneck, not new theory was developed again, not new principle was found again, all advances in technology patch on the existing technology product, even to patches finally continually is hard achieve- they have reached the limit of civilization level in the craft and operational principle, reached the current technology level „perfect” condition, modifies a screw bolt again is backs up and destroys, therefore only remains, can. Develops then was only left over Art and aesthetic appreciation, Great Dragon can do, is only left over with pattern, relief, ornament and complicated fine modeling manifests the renewal of product. 技术走至极限,一道墙阻挡在所有研究者面前,手头的所有知识和工具都无法动摇这堵墙,于是社会陷入停顿,文明步入瓶颈,再无新的理论被发展出来,再无新的原理被人发现,所有的科技进步都是在已有的技术产物上修修补补,甚至到最后连修修补补都难以实现-它们在工艺和运行原理上已经达到了文明水平的极限,达到了当前技术水准的“完美”状态,再改动一个螺丝钉都是倒退和破坏,于是仅剩的、还能发展下去的便只剩下了艺术和审美,巨龙们能做的,也只剩下用花纹、浮雕、装饰物和繁复精美的造型来体现产物的更新换代。 Finally, once was partial to the rough pragmatic style Great Dragon to build these gorgeous palaces in their state, to today. 最终,一度偏爱粗犷务实风格的巨龙在他们的国度中筑起了这些华美的殿堂,一直到今天。 White dragon Noletta shakes the head, on the face brings superficial and helpless smiling: „Perishing age, not?” 白龙诺蕾塔摇了摇头,脸上带着一丝浅淡而无奈的笑:“沉沦年代,不是么？” „Outside world change is quick, that full of vitality feeling made the dragon be crazy,” Melita said in a soft voice, „almost some people are dancing with joy for the new thing every day, every day some people must face the new change, what no matter was good was bad, the change forever was their subjects.” “外面的世界变化很快,那种生机勃勃的感觉令龙着迷,”梅莉塔轻声说道,“几乎每天都有人在为新的事物欢欣鼓舞,每天都有人要面对新的变化,不管是好的还是坏的,变化永远是他们的主题。” „Before contacting stockade, the flock of sheep always thinks that in courtyard broad boundless, these so-called new things and changes, in the past season another Season of Civilization haven't you looked enough?” “在接触到栅栏之前,羊群总是以为院子里宽广无边,那些所谓新的事物和变化,在过去的一季又一季文明中你还没看够么？” Melita selected the eyebrow, looked at own good friend one eyes: „Noletta, I am a young dragon, my curiosity had not been satisfied.” 梅莉塔挑了挑眉毛,看了自己的好友一眼:“诺蕾塔,我是一个年轻的龙,我的好奇心还没被满足呢。” White dragon Noletta chuckle: „Probably- hopes that to make your interesting thing be able to make the highest speaker also be interested, he was an old dragon, the curiosity does not have the mighty waves.” 白龙诺蕾塔轻笑一声:“大概吧-但愿那令你兴趣十足的东西能让最高议长也感兴趣,他可是一位年迈的龙,好奇心早已不起波澜了。” The corridor to the end, the magnificent alloy front door has induced to the visitor approaches, the access control system reads the identity data of dragons of two human form instantly, along with delightful resounding, on the front door winds through a series of beautiful flowing light, the entrance to speaker room opened. 走廊已到尽头,华丽的合金大门感应到访客靠近,门禁系统即刻读取了两位人形之龙的身份数据,伴随着一阵悦耳的鸣响,大门上流过一连串美丽的流光,通往议长房间的入口打开了。 In a circular broad hall, there is a pale golden platform to be placed in the room center, massive glittering and translucent carving „crystal cloth curtain” dangles from the platform, its superficial unceasingly refresh magnanimous data and design, but above the platform, as if Human Race house huge golden color Great Dragon calmly is lying face downward , is interwoven „throne that” by the innumerable copper-cored cable pipelines and fabrics becomes on. 在一间圆形的宽广大厅中,有淡金色的平台被安置在房间中心,大量晶莹剔透的“水晶布幔”从平台周围垂下,其表面不断刷新着海量的数据和图案,而在平台之上,一位仿佛人类房屋般巨大的金色巨龙正静静地俯卧在由无数线缆管道和织物交织而成的“王座”上。 Even in the Great Dragon standard, he still already quite aged, once the scale of beautiful lost the gloss, as if inferior sheet copper covers on his huge body, nearby its spine/ridge vertebra is arranging massive connections and metal doubling plates, hangs the copper-cored cable that falls to be connected with the ceiling, the trace that the machinery and biochemistry transform proliferates in this old body surface, under the skin is the blinker light biological outer covering, above the sharp claws is connecting the ice-cold hard alloy skeleton. 即使以巨龙的标准,他也已经相当老迈,曾经美丽的鳞片失去了光泽,仿佛劣质的铜片般覆盖在他庞大的身体上,其脊椎附近排列着大量的接口和金属覆板,与天花板垂坠下来的线缆相连,机械与生化改造的痕迹遍布在这苍老的躯体表面,皮肤之下是闪烁灯光的仿生蒙皮,利爪之上连接着冰冷坚硬的合金骨架。 Melita the Dragon race elder of semimechanization has walked toward this, bends the waist before the platform: „Salutes to you, Speaker Andal.” 梅莉塔向着这已经半机械化的龙族长者走去,在平台前弯下腰:“向您致敬,安达尔议长。” The aged golden Great Dragon dangling head, mounts a mechanical artificial eye in skull to expand and contract is adjusting the focus, but in another slightly muddy lifeform eyeball actually was still glittering obviously wisdom and warm ray, a moderate sound conveys from surrounding speech: „, Melita...... Mithril Treasury most outstanding agent, the good child, you to abolish to your bonus punishes?” 老迈的金色巨龙垂下头颅,镶嵌在颅骨中的一只机械义眼伸缩调整着焦点,但另一只略显浑浊的生物眼球中却仍然闪烁着智慧和温暖的光芒,一个温和的声音从周围的讲话器中传来:“啊,梅莉塔……秘银宝库最优秀的代理人,好孩子,你是想来撤销对你的奖金处罚么？” Melita eye immediately one bright: „Ok?!” 梅莉塔眼睛顿时一亮:“可以吗？！” „Not.” “不可以。” „......” “……” After short and awkward silence, Melita regained the normal state, took out let this time return to the Tollund thing ahead of time: „Speaker Your Excellency, I obtained equally special request, hopes that you can glance personally, moreover about the Loren Continent recent change, some of some of my also situation reports.” 短暂而尴尬的沉默之后,梅莉塔恢复了正常状态,取出了让她此次提前返回塔尔隆德的事物:“议长阁下,我得到了一样特殊的委托物,希望您能亲自过目,另外关于洛伦大陆最近的变化,我也有一些情况汇报。” „Request? Can deliver to my request directly may rarely seen...... from Elf Royal Court, is some Elemental Lord?” “委托物？能直接呈送给我的委托物可不多见……来自精灵王庭,还是某个元素领主？” „Gawain?? Cecil.” “高文??塞西尔。” „...... Uh-huh,” Speaker Andal slightly was silent, sends out a chuckle, one pack of draft manuscripts in Melita hand also flutters the midair, spreads out all over at present in this speaker, „...... hopes that this time isn't the permanent preservation......? Content as if very amusing.” “……嗯哼,”安达尔议长微微沉默了一下,发出一声轻笑,梅莉塔手中的一叠手稿随之飘到半空,在这位议长眼前一份份铺展开来,“……希望这次不是什么永久保存……哦？内容似乎很有趣啊。” This speaker almost flash was then completed to the scanning and reading of all draft manuscript contents, several splicing ears near his spine/ridge vertebra glitter glimmer, one auxiliary ponder unit near skull are also reviving, obviously in the content by draft manuscript had been aroused interest-, although is only very small interest. 这位议长几乎一瞬间便完成了对所有手稿内容的扫描和阅读,他脊椎附近的几个连接端子闪烁着微光,颅骨附近的一个辅助思考单元也苏醒过来,显然已经被手稿上的内容引起了兴趣-尽管只是很小的兴趣。 „Included to the understanding of productive forces and productive relations, the deduction of socialist system...... is not very abstruse, but you said that this is that Gawain?? Cecil in the thing that the current time does summarize?” “包括了对生产力和生产关系的理解,还有社会变革的推演……并不很深奥,但你说这是那个高文??塞西尔在当前时代总结出来的东西？” Melita lowers the head: „Also should include him at the experience of Gondor Empire period.” 梅莉塔低着头:“还应该包括他在刚铎帝国时期的经验。” „...... The Gondor Empire productive forces structure is abnormal, their social systems may be unable to expedite the experience in this aspect,” Speaker Andal the chuckle gets up, in the mechanical artificial eye is glittering red light slightly, „my a little interest, Gawain?? Cecil hopes how treasury does process this draft manuscript?” “哈……刚铎帝国的生产力结构是畸形的,他们的社会制度可催生不出这方面的经验,”安达尔议长轻笑起来,机械义眼中闪烁着微微的红光,“我有一点兴趣了,高文??塞西尔希望宝库如何处理这份手稿？” „This is...... Melita looked up that I must report” comes, having the smile to say. “这正是我要汇报的……”梅莉塔仰起头来,带着笑容说道。 Her report is very detailed, not only included Gawain?? Cecil's request content, included her to that „Developement Hero” the observation and appraisal, finally, she also mentioned at present the development of Cecil Empire, as well as that ancient Project Defiance in extension of current this time. 她的汇报很详细,不但包括了高文??塞西尔的委托内容,也包括了她本人对那位“开拓英雄”的观察和评价,最后,她还提到了目前塞西尔帝国的发展,以及那个古老的忤逆计划在当前这个时代的延续。 „...... In summary, do I think Gawain?? Order perhaps that Cecil and builds will become a valuable variable, we must strengthen to its attention, and further enhances the contact rank when necessary.” “……综上,我认为高文??塞西尔及其打造的秩序或许会成为一个有价值的变数,我们应当加强对其的关注,并在必要的时候进一步提高接触等级。” Speaker Andal silent several seconds, his assistance ponder unit revolved high-speed, and conducts the data exchange that the a series of bystander remained unknown with Omega, finally opens the mouth saying: „The current contact rank is high enough, necessity that temporarily has not promoted, but you said ‚variable’...... really has certain value.” 安达尔议长沉默了几秒钟,他的辅助思考单元高速运转了一番,并与“欧米伽”进行了一系列外人无从得知的数据交换,最后才开口道:“目前的接触等级已经够高了,暂时没有提升的必要,不过你所说的‘变数’……确实有一定价值。” „That......” “那……” „But he not necessarily is the only variable, the child,” the voice of Speaker Andal continues to transmit, „has other agent to transmit the report, Human Race Typhon Empire is having the scale huge change similarly, the breakthrough of technology and culture is in progress, Elf Silver Empire in gradually ‚defrosting’, is also attempting to restart the development, although they also fell into and our similar technology mires, but they after all not by ‚deadlocking’, exists broken possibly seals. In addition, Violet Kingdom and Dwarf royal court and Highmountain Kingdom have to have the sign of the socialist system or technology big breakthrough...... these, can be the variable.” “但他并不一定是唯一的变数,孩子,”安达尔议长的声音继续传来,“有其他代理人传来报告,人类的提丰帝国同样在产生规模巨大的变化,技术和文化的突破都在进行,精灵的白银帝国也在逐渐‘解冻’,在尝试重新开始发展,尽管他们也陷入了和我们类似的技术泥潭,但他们毕竟没有被‘锁死’,也是存在破封可能的。此外,紫罗兰王国、矮人王庭、高岭王国均有发生社会变革或技术大突破的迹象……这些,都可以作为变数。” Melita blinks, after short thinking, nods: „...... My some paid attention to Cecil Empire.” 梅莉塔眨眨眼,短暂思索之后点了点头:“……我有些过于关注塞西尔帝国了。” „This is your responsible region, many pays attention naturally, moreover......” the voice of Speaker Andal slightly has the stop, seems like considering the glossary, „Gawain?? Cecil this variable, is a little truly different, whose direction his during that time that time departed received, we have not investigated clearly, in riddle that on this Human Race hid, making me quite curious.” “这本就是你的负责区域,多加关注理所应当,而且……”安达尔议长的声音略有停顿,似乎是在斟酌词汇,“高文??塞西尔这个变数,确实有点不一样,他当年那次出航是受了谁的指引,我们至今还未调查清楚,在这个人类身上隐藏的谜团,令我都颇为好奇。” „About this, as if Gawain?? Cecil oneself do not know the circumstances of the matter,” Melita said, „I and he have talked many times, he by what factor seems to be eliminated about the memory that secret departed, after departing and departed with it related all memory eliminated cleanness . Moreover the people who all during that time acted with him together have not left behind slightly the clue, even the person of peer was who cannot check.” “关于这点,似乎高文??塞西尔本人也不知情,”梅莉塔说道,“我和他交谈过很多次,他关于那次秘密出航的记忆似乎被什么因素清除了,包括出航前和出航后与之相关的一切记忆都被清除的干干净净,而且所有当年与他一同行动的人都未留下丝毫线索,甚至连同行之人是谁都查不出来。” „Has hidden the truth from the eye of Mithril Treasury, in the world does not have is too many ‚person’ to achieve......” the aged golden Great Dragon voice to be low and deep, calm powerful, „maintains with Gawain?? The Cecil's contact, this request, Mithril Treasury accepted.” “瞒过秘银宝库的眼睛,世界上没有太多‘人’能做到……”老迈的黄金巨龙嗓音低沉,沉稳有力,“保持和高文??塞西尔的接触吧,这份委托,秘银宝库接受了。” Melita salutes respectfully: „Yes.” 梅莉塔恭敬行礼:“是。” The portion light light and shade in room glittered, the leaf of secret door of room corner opens, a machine servant departed, received these to be reorganized the good draft manuscript, Speaker Andal nods to Melita: „Melita, other matter?” 房间中的一部分灯光明暗闪烁了一下,房间角落的一扇暗门打开,一个机器仆人从中飞出,接过了那些已经被重新整理好的手稿,安达尔议长则对梅莉塔点点头:“梅莉塔,还有别的事么？” Melita had prepared to say goodbye to leave, but hesitated to stop, in the gaze of senior speaker mechanical artificial eye, she could not bear the opens the mouth finally: „Speaker Your Excellency, I met genetic defect Great Dragon in Loren Continent......” 梅莉塔本已经准备告辞离开,但却犹豫着停了下来,在老议长机械义眼的注视中,她终于还是忍不住开口了:“议长阁下,我在洛伦大陆遇到了一只基因缺陷的巨龙……” „? Did you go to Sacred Dragon Duchy?” “哦？你去圣龙公国了？” „No, in Ainz- naturally now is Cecil Empire,” Melita shouted the tone, the words become smooth, „was a Black Dragon, the wing has grown to half, but stopped the growth because of the genetic defects, the body also had the certain extent to be abnormal, she does not know why left Sacred Dragon Duchy, chose in the Human Race social life, moreover as if had lived many years......” “不,是在安苏境内-当然现在已经是塞西尔帝国了,”梅莉塔呼了口气,话语重新变得顺畅起来,“是一只黑龙,翅膀已经发育到一半了,但因遗传缺陷停止了发育,身体也有一定程度畸形,她不知为何离开了圣龙公国,选择在人类社会生活,而且似乎已经生活了很多年……” Speaker Andal the moderate sound broke narration of Melita: „Then?” 安达尔议长温和的声音打断了梅莉塔的讲述:“然后呢？” „Speaker Your Excellency, that Black Dragon besides the abnormal flaw of body, other places is normal, she has perfect mind, the Human Race shape is also healthy, is competent the work that all cannot fly sufficiently, therefore I very curious......” “议长阁下,那个黑龙除了身体的畸形缺陷外,其他地方都是正常的,她有健全的心智,人类形态也非常健康,足以胜任所有不需飞行的工作,所以我很好奇……” White dragon Noletta that has not made noise in one side cannot bear reminds in a soft voice: „Melita, before this topic you, has asked......” 在一旁始终没出声的白龙诺蕾塔忍不住轻声提醒:“梅莉塔,这个话题你以前就问过了……” However Melita does not seem to heard good friend's reminder, asked rigid: „What my very curious genetic defect sent into exile reason is, is only because they are since birth abnormal? Sacred Dragon Duchy was exiled so many years in the Loren Continent coldest north end, doesn't have a deadline?” 然而梅莉塔就仿佛没听到好友的提醒,还是执着地问道:“我很好奇基因缺陷者被放逐的原因到底是什么,就只是因为他们生来畸形么？圣龙公国在洛伦大陆最寒冷的北端被流放了那么多年,难道就没有一个期限么？” „...... Great Dragon Empire never requests exile to in the iceberg nidify, Upper House makes them leave Tollund, settles down north Loren Continent is their decision, the reason of but as for exiling...... gene contamination is enough. Melita is raising head, with that dignified, but aged ancient Great Dragon is looking at each other, but the latter only has confident. “……巨龙帝国从未要求流放者必须在冰山中筑巢,元老院只是让他们离开塔尔隆德,在洛伦大陆北端安家是他们自己的决定,而至于流放的理由……基因污染已经足够。梅莉塔仰着头,和那位威严而老迈的古代巨龙对视着,而后者只有一片坦然。 Enough after two minutes, Melita in that is only of mechanical under the gaze artificial eye to divert the attention, she lowers the head: „I understood, speaker Your Excellency.” 足足两分钟后,梅莉塔才在那只机械义眼的注视下转移开视线,她低下头:“我明白了,议长阁下。” Speaker Andal is watching the present young later generation, in the room sends out delightful low and deep resounding with its connected many equipment, his sound conveys from speech: „Melita, you young and vibrant, this is in Dragon race very valuable quality, I did not mind that you therefore proposed some rash issues, I instead hope that you can maintain this curiosity for a long time, wishing it to follow your life-, but something, is present you are doomed unable to change, is not suitable knows that this point hopes you can understand.” 安达尔议长注视着眼前的年轻后辈,房间中与其相连的诸多设备发出悦耳低沉的鸣响,他的声音从讲话器中传来:“梅莉塔,你年轻而富有朝气,这是龙族中非常宝贵的品质,我并不介意你因此提出一些莽撞的问题,我反而希望你能长久地保持这份好奇心,愿它伴随你一生-但有些事情,是现在的你注定无法改变,也不宜知道的,这一点希望你能明白。” Melita respectfully and replied sincerely: „Yes, speaker Your Excellency, I understand.” 梅莉塔恭敬而诚挚地答道:“是的,议长阁下,我明白。” „Goes back, rests, then makes some preparations for the having an audience with ceremony, the empathize scatters your exhausted and grief, after you fully restore spirit, returns to your post.” “回去吧,休息一下,然后为觐见仪式做些准备,神会驱散你的疲惫和伤痛,等你完全恢复精神之后,就回到你的岗位上吧。” „Yes, speaker Your Excellency.” “是,议长阁下。”
