The Witcher masters and disciples from the cave, move rapidly west side, crawled two bad following several withered vines, the middle blasts several nest malarias. 猎魔人师徒从山洞东边,迅速移动到西边,顺着几条干枯的藤蔓爬了两个坡坎,中间又炸掉几窝瘴气。 Smoothly enters a spacious room, is laying out the neat marble floor. 顺利地进入一个宽敞的房间,铺陈着整齐的大理石地板。 Different with the modeling rough and ruins cave, this room decorates fine, magnificent. 有别于造型粗犷、废墟般的山洞,这个房间装饰得更为精致,华丽。 Two people settle down on the stair after gate, staring is carving the Elder Speech stele together. 两人在门后的台阶上驻足,凝视一块刻着上古语的石碑。 dark gold pupil rotates slowly, Roy by the bloodlines inheritance of quarter Elf, easily identifies the semantics, 暗金瞳孔徐徐转动,罗伊凭借四分之一精灵的血脉传承,轻易辨认出语义, „Can staring abyss, counter- favor?” “凝视深渊、反得抬举?” The low and deep voice falls to the ground, in response, in the empty hall, as if gloomy and cold aura come. 低沉的话音落地,作为回应,空荡荡的大厅里,仿佛有一阵阴冷的气息呼啸而来。 Roy selected the brow tip. 罗伊挑了挑眉梢。 big baldy falls into silent. 光头大汉陷入沉默。 What meaning are these words?” “这句话是什么意思?” This Elder Speech gives his feeling —— 这句上古语给他的感觉—— As if falls into the desperate person, before dying, struggles crazily, actually falls into error ; Does the difficult vanguard, obtain some success finally? 仿佛一个陷入绝望之人,将死前疯狂挣扎,却误入歧途;艰难前行,最后又获得某种成功? Frantic and extreme... means the danger extremely, is not the good gadget.” big baldy, looking is not far, the room center, Auckes Brothers, Serrit is standing near a circular column, “狂热、极端…极端意味着危险,可不是什么好玩意儿。”光头大汉,看了看不远,房间中央,奥克斯兄弟,瑟瑞特正站在一圈圆形的立柱边, Walks, do not waste the time, we first pass.” “走吧,别浪费时间,咱们先过去。” ...... …… Three, found the key not to have, do not tell me, you have been in a daze to this gadget.” “三位,找到钥匙没,别告诉我,你们一直冲着这玩意儿发呆。” Two people gathering near, discovered that the central column is much higher, at least more than ten meters, from the ground connection to the ceiling, the hard surface embroiders full rice ear the patterns. 两人凑到近前,才发现中央的立柱高得吓人,至少十几米,从地面连接至天花板,坚硬的表面绣满一圈圈稻穗似的花纹。 As if a giant prisoner's cage. 仿佛一座巨型囚笼。 The gap of basket parapet is extremely big. 只是笼子栏杆的间隙太过大。 Comes and goes out the freedom. 出入自由。 But among every two columns, is standing erect an unemotional and simple solemn human form stone carving. 而每两根立柱之间,矗立着一座面无表情、朴素端庄的人形石雕。 They like standing silent giant in shadow, the pale and indifferent stone pupil is gazing at the unknown other side. 它们有如站在阴影之中静默的巨人,苍白、冷漠的石眸注视着未知的彼方。 We decapitate Wraith... then to discover a record...” Auckes one page the kraft paper demonstration of year gave two people, seemingly is one page of research writes down —— “咱们杀了头妖灵…然后发现了一份记录…”奥克斯将一页上了年头的牛皮纸展示给两人,貌似是一页研究笔记—— We according to the order of Teacher he/she Ireneus var Steingard, conducted a series of research to the Drowner gene. “我们按照老师瑞纽斯·瓦·施泰恩加德的命令,对水鬼的基因进行了一系列研究。 After feed tetrodotoxin, all objects of study fall into the stupor, crossed for 24 hours, loses the life sign completely, the experiment is unable to continue. 喂入河豚毒素后,所有研究对象都陷入昏迷,过了二十四小时,全部失去生命迹象,实验无法继续。 Signature Matteo Sykula 署名马提鸥·西库拉 ...... …… This to!” Roy pulled out a beforehand that receipt contrast, the look said inspired, this Teacher and Golem buyer was the same person. Ireneus var Steingard, this secret laboratory owner!” “这就对上了!”罗伊掏出之前的那张收据一对比,神色振奋地说,“这位老师魔像购买者是同一个人。瑞纽斯·瓦·施泰恩加德,这间秘密实验室的拥有者!” Turns on that gate key, inevitably on him!” “开启那道门的钥匙,必然就在他身上!” Calm, boy...” Serrit threw a bucket of cold water immediately, we searched for this place, except for this research note, with bringing death Wraith. Cannot see including only the mouse, not to mention key!” “冷静点,小子…”瑟瑞特立即泼了桶冷水,“咱们把这地方都搜遍了,除了这张研究笔记,和一头送死的妖灵。连只老鼠都见不着,更别提钥匙!” Perhaps that Mage has abandoned entire laboratory, hides not to know where.” “没准那位法师早就废弃掉整个实验室,躲到不知什么地方去了。” In the end, but must do to select Explosive laboratory blasting out!” “到头来,还得去搞点炸药实验室给炸开!” „It is not right! Since you met Wraith... nearby that explanation to have remains of dead...” A Letho face said assuredly. “不对!既然你们遇到了妖灵…那说明附近应该有一位死者的遗骸…”雷索一脸笃定地说。 Sorry, remains not...” Maoji arrives by a statue suddenly, fixes the eyes on looks, above column, unexpectedly exquisite activity tension bar. But I discovered some type of mechanism/organization.” “抱歉,遗骸没有…”猫鹫忽而走到一座雕像旁边,定睛一看,立柱之上,竟然有一个小巧的活动拉杆。“但我发现了某种机关。” Maoji entrains the tension bar gently downward. 猫鹫轻轻把拉杆往下一拽。 hong- hong-” “訇—訇—” The earth shock, the dust overflows. 地面震动,灰尘四溢。 The surface responds toward the big stone carving of people immediately, along revolved clockwise 90 degrees. 原本面朝众人的高大石雕立刻响应,沿着顺时针方向旋转了九十度。 Adjusts their facing correctly, should be able to get the answer... the skeleton and key!” “正确调整它们的面向,应该就能得到答案…骸骨和钥匙!” Stealthy Sorcerer, likes doing these troublesome things. What also waits for?” Topee Witcher arrives at the west tension bar directly, lets Uncle Auckes, solves this riddle topic!” “鬼鬼祟祟的术士,就喜欢搞这些伤脑筋的东西。还等什么?”兜帽猎魔人径直走到最西边的拉杆边,“就让奥克斯大爷,来解决这个谜题!” Idiot! Mathematical idiot!” Serrit disdains to smile, you know that has many possibilities to combine, even if you transferred last three days and three nights unable to try!” “蠢货!数学白痴!”瑟瑞特不屑一笑,“你知道有多少种可能得组合吗,就算你转上三天三夜都试不完!” Roy heard that the word looks glaring, encircles one statue altogether seven, each place has four types to face. 罗伊闻言晃眼一瞧,围成一圈的雕像一共有七座,每座都有四种朝向。 This means the possibility is, four seven powers of exponent...” “这意味着可能性为,四的七次方…” The Roy heart thump jumps, „more than 16,000 kinds of possibilities!” 罗伊心头咯噔一跳,“一万六千多种可能!” People complexion big change. 众人脸色大变。 What's the big deal? Endured Trial of the Grasses, we most did not lack was the time!” Auckes rubbed the nose, quickly restored the fighting spirit, the random selection a statue, started to draw the mechanism/organization, „, even if with the stupidest method, the multi- spend some time attempts one by one , the ratio is standing motionless, only knows that complained strongly!” “那又如何?熬过青草试炼,咱们最不缺的就是时间!”奥克斯揉了揉鼻子,迅速恢复了斗志,随机选择了一座雕像,开始拉动机关,“哪怕用最笨的方法,多花点时间挨个尝试,也比站着不动,只知道抱怨强!” Wait fools! Don't you make a mark? I can guarantee, less than mess up and comes 100 times completely again!” Serrit starts to coordinate with the brothers tacitly, Fliess walks to help. “等等傻子!你不做点标记?我敢保证,不到一百次全部乱套、重来!”瑟瑞特开始和兄弟默契配合,弗利厄斯走过去帮忙。 In the chest is burning a fire, 胸中燃烧着一把火, He must untie the mechanism/organization, opens laboratory, sees Cat School Witcher in that Roy premonition. 他必须解开机关,打开实验室,见到那位罗伊预感中的猫派猎魔人 ...... …… But Roy stands in same place, the vision rotation, falls into the thinking. 罗伊站在原地,目光转动,陷入思索。 He only remembers that under Temple Isle had laboratory, the solution of mechanism/organization has actually blurred. 他只记得神殿岛下面有个实验室,机关的解法却早已模糊。 Boy , helping a hand!” 小鬼,来帮把手!” This research writes down... Letho, I remember that Drowner immunity Toxicity, young Witcher asked a strange issue obviously, he did not plan that rotated the mechanism/organization stodgily, certainly had some secret, „after why injected the tetrodotoxin, met the stupor and died?” “这张研究笔记…雷索,我记得水鬼明明免疫毒性,”年轻的猎魔人却提出一个古怪的问题,他不打算死板地去转动机关,肯定存在某种诀窍,“为啥注射河豚毒素后,会昏迷并死亡呢?” I am not Sorcerer, has not done that exhaustive experiment, but as far as I know, the poison and other poison of globefish within the body are not quite same, is a nerve poison, Toxicity is the nature, and mechanism and other toxin are completely different.” “我不是术士,也没做过那么详尽的实验,但据我所知,河豚体内的毒和别的毒不太一样,算是一种神经毒素,毒性为自然界之最,且作用机制和别的毒素完全不同。” Tetrodotoxin cannot corrode and damage the flesh directly, after being absorbed, affects in the nervous system of lifeform, the nerve paralysis, making them lose all energy, thus died...” “河豚毒素不会直接腐蚀和损伤血肉,被吸收后,作用于生物的神经系统,麻痹神经,使他们丧失所有活动能力、因而死亡…” Even if Drowner, within the body still has the nerve.” “即便就是水鬼,体内也存在神经。” So that's how it is.” “原来如此。” The big baldy popular science, coordinated three companions patiently, entrains the tension bar. 光头大汉耐心地科普了一遍,配合三位同伴,拽动拉杆。 But Roy glances through the receipt and that research note repeatedly, searched two entire room. 罗伊反复翻阅收据和那张研究笔记,又把整个房间重新搜索了两遍。 Having achieved nothing. 一无所获。 Roy, as the later generation, unexpectedly looks on under the senior the coolie, you are loaf again,” the Auckes threat said, decodes the mechanism/organization by some chance, found any valuable thing, but is personal all, do not want to take away to confiscate again!” 罗伊,身为后辈,居然坐视前辈下苦力,你再偷懒下去,”奥克斯威胁道,“万一破解机关,找到什么值钱的东西,可就是私人所有,别想再拿去充公!” Roy shakes the head smiles, only teased this treats as the neglected advice, muttered, complex was so mechanism/organization, difficult to be inadequate the researcher only to depend on the brain memory answer?” 罗伊摇头一笑,只把这调侃当做耳旁风,喃喃自语,“如此复杂的机关,难不成研究员只凭脑子记忆答案?” Should have some prompt?” “应该存在某种提示吧?” But both documents have looked. 可两份文件都看过了。 The place also searched. 地方也搜遍了。 „Did I neglect what thing?” “难道我忽略了什么东西?” What hasn't used on? 什么没有利用上呢? He closes the eye, again after entering cave, all experiences filtered. 他闭上眼睛,再次把进入山洞之后,所有经历过滤了一遍。 After two minutes, opens the eyes suddenly, dark gold pupil Glimmer the appearance of difference. 两分钟后,豁然睁开双眼,暗金瞳孔闪烁着异样的神采。 Is those words —— “难道是那句话—— Above that stele, strange Elder Speech! 那句石碑之上,诡异的上古语 Staring abyss, counter- must favor.” “凝视深渊,反得抬举。” Stares at —— these seven stone carvings, unemotional appearance, just as not staring at something? 凝视——这七座石雕,面无表情的模样,不正像凝视着某个东西? Then I should rotate the statue, causes their surface toward the so-called abyss, then unties the mechanism/organization. 那么我该转动雕像,使它们面朝所谓的深渊,即可解开机关。 But the abyss refers to where? 可深渊又指的什么地方? Roy takes a broad view to look in all directions, beside the statue, above the entire room bumpy four sides wall, not dominant character, conforms to the implication of abyss. 罗伊放眼四顾,雕像之外,整个房间坑坑洼洼的四面墙壁之上,并无显著特征,符合深渊的寓意。 Then —— 那么—— He crosses busy four Witcher. 他越过忙碌的四名猎魔人 Enters the statue encirclement center, a circular open area. 进入雕像环绕中央,一块圆形空地。 The squatting down body, the buckle refers to tapping the marble floor. 蹲下身体,扣指轻敲大理石地板。 Bang and bang...” “砰、砰…” Below is spatial. 下面是空的。 fellows, calls a halt!” Roy sets out suddenly, I think, I knew the mechanism/organization answer!” 伙计们,停手吧!”罗伊豁然起身,“我想,我知道机关答案了!” ...... …… After two minutes . 两分钟后。 Under five Witcher cooperate, all statues were adjusted the surface toward the central region. 五名猎魔人通力合作之下,所有雕像都被调整到面朝中央区域。 —— “咔嚓—— After clear sound . 清脆的响声之后。 The circular marble slab opens toward the both sides slowly, reveals a profound basin. 圆形的大理石板向着两侧徐徐张开,露出一口幽深的水池。 The ray is dim, under shiny black underwater has some type of thing faintly in the movement, the water surface exudes one after another ripples. 光线黯淡,黑黝黝的水底下隐隐有某种东西在运动,水面泛起一圈又一圈涟漪。 So-called abyss, referred to this basin!” “所谓的深渊,原来指的是这口水池!” We were old, the thought ossifies, is the mind miraculous glow of young people.” The Auckes appreciation patted the shoulder of Roy, the five fingers outlined, put on Quen Sign rapidly. “咱们老了,思维僵化,还是年轻人的头脑灵光。”奥克斯赞赏地拍了拍罗伊的肩膀,五指勾勒,迅速套上一记昆恩法印 Is ready to fight, raises the chin toward the basin, the big hand wields, 摩拳擦掌,朝着水池扬起下巴,大手一挥, Also waits for anything, fellows, gets down to do his mother together!” “还等啥,伙计们,一起下去干他娘!” passes......” “噗通……” passes......” “噗通……” The water splash overflows, three Viper School entered the water. 水花四溢,三名蛇派先后入水。 Fliess and Serrit, then remains behind the outside, prevents the accident/surprise. 弗利厄斯瑟瑞特,则留守外部,防止意外。 Rumble...” “咕噜咕噜…” The water loop, emits giant air bubbles. 水面翻滚,冒出一个个巨大的气泡。 Is less than ten seconds. 不到十秒。 Five water reveal the pale belly, passed away. 五头水露出惨白肚皮,一命呜呼。 Because the Viper School ally looks after with great solicitude, Roy brushed 100 experiences. 因为蛇派战友体贴入微,罗伊又刷到了一百点经验。 Witcher lv7 ( 1340 / 4500 ) 猎魔人lv7(1340/4500) Then, is dragging a skeleton that is throwing over the tattered cloth strip comes ashore. 然后,拖着一具披着破烂布条的骸骨上了岸。 „The skeleton of human “人类的骸骨” Even if died for a long time, above the skeleton was still lingering some magical energy. 哪怕死去许久,骨骼之上仍然萦绕着部分魔法能量 Before death the big probability is Caster. 生前大概率是一位施法者 This pond bottom bleached bone, is actually laboratory master he/she Ireneus var Steingard, is his student and assistant Matteo Sykula?” Roy whole face doubts. “这具池底枯骨,究竟是实验室主人伊瑞纽斯·瓦·施泰恩加德,还是他的学生兼助手马提鸥·西库拉?”罗伊满脸疑惑。 What relations has? The key succeeds in obtaining in any case... should have a look at that been stranded Brother Cat School!” Auckes pinches tightly to be from the skeleton, the rusty iron key, the whole face is excited. “有什么关系?反正钥匙到手…该去看看那位被困的猫派兄弟!”奥克斯捏紧取自骸骨的,锈迹斑斑的铁钥匙,满脸兴奋。 „But how does this fellow die?” “可这家伙又是怎么死的?” On bone is the trace that the tooth gnaws to nip,” Serrit picks up a shinbone, ponders over saying that for some reasons falls into the basin, was swallowed by Drowner.” “骨头上全是牙齿啃咬的痕迹,”瑟瑞特拾起一根胫骨,思忖道,“因为某种原因掉进水池,被水鬼吞噬。” No matter the corpse is that Teacher, or the student, once conducted many cruel activity-body tests using Drowner, for example tetrodotoxin experiment. 不管尸体是那位老师,亦或者学生,都曾利用水鬼进行多种残忍的活体实验,例如河豚毒素实验。 Also may once think will become the dishes of experimental subject? 又可曾想过自己会成为实验对象的盘中餐? Can the staring abyss, counter- favor? 凝视深渊,反得抬举? Does not know that after dying the soul to be favored the hell, or heaven?! 就是不知道死后的灵魂是被抬举到地狱,亦或者天堂?! This is not the good sign,” “这可不是什么好兆头,” Auckes strides bravely forward, seems poetry reading, 奥克斯昂首阔步,好似诗歌朗诵, Engineer was ground by repair Golem personally, the researchers were swallowed by the object of study. Then, whether will Witcher die under the monster lackey?” “工程师被亲手修理的魔像碾碎,研究人员被研究对象吞噬。那么,猎魔人是否将死在魔物爪牙之下?” The people feel absolutely terrifiedly. 众人均感毛骨悚然。 Shuts your crow mouth!” Serrit has seized the key. “闭上你的乌鸦嘴!”瑟瑞特一把夺过钥匙。 Walks, opens the door!” “走,开门去!”
