Hears Chris's entreaty, the expression of Lucien smile is invariable, moderate typical: „If your news is valuable, I will use judgment to consider. The right of judgment in my hands, you can choose to say or not say.” 听到克里斯的哀求,路西恩微笑的表情不变,语气温和地道:“如果你的消息有价值,我会酌情考虑。判断的权利在我手中,你可以选择说或者不说。” Although Chris frightens, cold sweat to brave fearful and apprehensive, but the tears tears crossflow are more begging for mercy performance that is performs, at this time does not dare to have any hesitant and protest, rapid said/tunnel: „Knight master, several days ago I stole an invitation, perhaps you will be interested.” 克里斯虽然吓得心惊胆战、冷汗直冒,但涕泪横流更多是做出来的求饶表演,此时不敢有任何犹豫和抗议,急促地道:“骑士老爷,几天前我偷到了一封邀请函,或许您会有兴趣。” As outstanding bandits and thieves, was referred to by the Lucien's long sword in the throat starts, Chris has not given up effort that looks for the escaping opportunity, may think opposite is true knight who stimulated the bloodlines strength, he does not dare to act rashly, oneself proud agile and speed miss radically laughably before the knight, only if begged for mercy continually also has no chance, will take risk to do wrestles finally. 作为一名出色的盗贼,被路西恩的长剑指在喉咙开始,克里斯就没有放弃过寻找逃跑机会的努力,可一想到对面是位激发了血脉力量的真正骑士,他就不敢贸然行动,自己自豪的敏捷和速度在骑士面前根本差得可笑,除非连求饶也没有希望了,才会冒险做最后一搏。 „Invitation?” Lucien has doubts slightly, „why you thought that I will be interested?” “邀请函？”路西恩略微疑惑,“你为什么觉得我会感兴趣？” Chris sees Lucien not to begin, restrained the fear and fear gradually, recounted well-organized: „Because it seems like that the invitation that low rank black Sorcerers get together, this will be the knight master you will leave behind the good opportunity of heroic legend!” He remembered many hearsay, after Lucien the knight who regards that promotion, follows the ancient precept going on patrol mainland. 克里斯见路西恩并没有动手,渐渐克制住了恐惧和害怕,条理清楚地述说:“因为它看起来像是低阶黑魔法师们聚会的邀请函,这将是骑士老爷您留下英雄传说的好机会！”他想起了很多传闻,将路西恩当成那种晋升之后遵循古训巡游大陆的骑士。 „Low-order black Sorcerers? What content is the invitation? Why haven't you reported the church directly? I think that can make you obtain a rich reward.” Lucien hears is the Sorcerers matter, immediately had a big interest and question. “低阶黑魔法师？邀请函是什么内容？你为什么没有直接禀告教会？我想那将能让你得到一笔丰厚的奖赏。”路西恩听到是魔法师的事情,顿时产生了不小的兴趣和疑问。 In Lucien vision closely watches out, Chris took out to fold a neat paper to hand over from oneself waistband crevice: „Honored knight Sir, this is the invitation.” 在路西恩目光的密切注视下,克里斯从自己腰带夹缝里取出折叠得整整齐齐的一张纸递了过去:“尊贵的骑士大人,这是邀请函。” „Couple days ago dragon Yazhen came the mysterious traveller, because he is generous, therefore I follow he to leave quietly, wants to find the opportunity to steal anything. Finally he has not walked the main road, but goes through in the surroundings mountain forest, I saw him to use the evil terrifying the black magic to strike exactly to kill several to try to attack his wild animal.” “前几天龙牙镇来了位神秘的旅行者,由于他出手阔绰,所以我悄悄跟着他离开,想找机会偷点什么。结果他没有走大道,而是在周围山林里穿行,我恰好看见他用邪恶恐怖的黑魔法击杀了几只试图袭击他的野兽。” The Lucien left hand shakes off that paper, the vision swept to record in the soul library: 路西恩左手将那张纸抖开,目光一扫就记录到了灵魂图书馆内: „When second Friday Silver Moon raises in July, will hold a death the grand feast to welcome a mister from mainland Congress of Magic headquarters in Karran Tiya old castle. Sorcerers and magic apprentices former Wilfrid territory, this is the start of your bright future.” “当七月第二个礼拜五银月升起的时候,在卡伦尔迪亚古堡将举行一场死亡的盛宴以欢迎一位来自大陆魔法议会总部的先生。原威尔弗里德领地的魔法师、魔法学徒们,这将是你们光明前途的开始。” Without name, without signature, this is a strange invitation letter, but Lucien was still full of the interest, because as if can contact Sorcerers that the mainland Congress of Magic headquarters send, after such arrived at marine pearl Stuart Erke, does not need to look for the link man again painstakingly. 没有称呼,没有署名,这是一封奇怪的宴请函,不过路西恩依然充满了兴趣,因为似乎能够接触到大陆魔法议会总部派来的魔法师,那样自己到了海上明珠斯图尔克后就不必再苦苦寻找联络者了。 Chris sees the Lucien expression to have no change, is continuing own narration: „At that time tracked that mysterious traveller also has another adventurer squad. After they experienced the evil black magic, thinks that had confidence massacres this traveller, therefore non-stop urging the wild animal to consume the magic of opposite party, then starts to attack and encircle kills. What a pity they underestimated can arouse the terrifying black magic of dead, instead got the winning side by that traveller. However they put together the mutually wounded time, was caught up by nearby robber discovery sound, struck to kill together. I seize the opportunity, stole away the valuable goods on traveller body, inside included this letter/believes.” 克里斯见路西恩表情没有任何变化,继续着自己的讲述:“当时跟踪那位神秘旅行者的还有另外一个冒险者小队。他们见识了邪恶的黑魔法后认为有把握杀掉这位旅行者,于是不停驱使野兽消耗对方的魔法,接着开始突袭和围杀。可惜他们低估了能够唤起死者的恐怖黑魔法,反而被那旅行者占据了上风。不过他们拼得两败俱伤的时候,被附近的强盗发现动静赶来,一起击杀了。我则抓住机会,偷走了旅行者尸体上的值钱物品,里面就包括了这封信。” „This group of robbers are really lucky......” Lucien to sigh with emotion the pitiful bitter experience of that magic apprentice, then asked Chris again: „Why haven't you reported the church? Do you know Karran Tiya old castle?” “这群强盗真幸运……”路西恩感慨着那位魔法学徒的可怜遭遇,接着再次问克里斯:“为什么你没有报告教会？你知道卡伦尔迪亚古堡吗？” Regarding the Wilfrid territory, Lucien is not strange, because recorded from the ancient literature and history can be clear, Wilfrid was south central ancient magic empire period rule mainland one of the several Legendary Necromancer, what a pity he fell from the sky , under encircling that taught the cardinal, the Demiplane magic tower was destroyed. 对于威尔弗里德领地,路西恩并不陌生,因为从古代文献和历史记载里可以明确,威尔弗里德就是古代魔法帝国时期统治大陆中南部的几位传奇死灵法师之一,可惜他陨落在了教会枢机主教的围剿之下,就连半位面魔法塔都被摧毁了。 „I walk in the bandits and thieves in darkness and shadow, if were taught to know, definitely at meeting topping cheat, therefore......” Chris is quite proud regarding the status of his bandits and thieves, „sorry, the respectable knight Sir, where I am not clear about Karran Tiya old castle. In fact, I have inquired in City Adventurer Guild and bandits and thieves trade union, no one knows the place of this old castle, even they have not heard this old castle. I want probably to be a black Sorcerers code name.” “我是行走在黑暗和阴影里的盗贼,如果被教会知道,肯定会上绞刑架的,所以……”克里斯对于自身盗贼的身份颇为自豪,“对不起,尊敬的骑士大人,我并不清楚卡伦尔迪亚古堡在哪里。事实上,我曾经在科瑟城冒险者行会和盗贼工会都打听过,没有人知道这个古堡的地点,甚至他们都没听说过这个古堡。我想大概是黑魔法师内部的一个代号吧。” Because the bandits and thieves also often use the code name, Chris very directly on association to this on. 由于盗贼也常常使用代号,克里斯很直接就联想到这上面。 In the Lucien heart passed over gently and swiftly the disappointment, unexpectedly no one knows that Karran Tiya old castle, oneself looked like must miss this opportunity, and oneself were unfamiliar with the people and place in the Djibouti duchy, wanted to look for the clue is very difficult, but in the Lucien surface is hanging the modest tranquil smile: „This news I am very satisfied. Right, hasn't Chris you told others?” 路西恩心中掠过失望的情绪,竟然没人知道卡伦尔迪亚古堡,自己看来要错过这次机会了,并且自己在吉布提公国人生地不熟,想要寻找线索都很困难,不过路西恩表面上还是挂着温和平静的微笑:“这个消息我很满意。对了,克里斯你没有告诉过其他人吧？” „The knight Sir your satisfaction is my being honored.” Chris relaxes quietly, it seems like can preserve both hands, then he flatters says with a smile, „this news, I had not found the customer, if the knight Sir you told, I have buried it at heart, making you be able to complete the heroic epic.” “骑士大人您的满意就是我的荣幸。”克里斯悄悄松了口气,看来能保住双手了,接着他讨好地笑道,“这个消息,我还没有找到买主,如果骑士大人您吩咐,我会将它一直埋葬在心里,让您能够自己完成英雄史诗。” Lucien nods: „Does well.” Then the long sword delivers, went into Chris's throat callously. 路西恩点了点头:“做得不错。”接着长剑一送,冷酷地扎进了克里斯的喉咙。 Chris does not dare to believe stares Lucien, the throat is making noise, he as if asked in the call: „Will matter turn into this? Why can kill me?! Knight who you do not observe the creed?!” 克里斯不敢置信地瞪着路西恩,喉咙嗬嗬作响,他心里仿佛在呐喊般问道:“事情怎么会变成这样？为什么要杀我？！你不是遵守信条的骑士吗？！” Lucien takes back the long sword, the tone said lightly: „You knew many.” 路西恩收回长剑,语气平淡地说:“你知道得太多了。” Although oneself found Karran Tiya old castle possibly is very small, but if really has the opportunity to go, that knows Chris who this invitation is the dangerous source, because was not clear when he will sell the news, thus brings to the attention of church. 虽然自己找到卡伦尔迪亚古堡的可能很小,但如果真的有机会前往,那知道这封邀请函的克里斯就是危险的源头,因为不清楚他什么时候会将消息卖出去,从而引起教会的注意。 So long as is not own friend or the innocent person, regarding the murder, Lucien did not have the feeling of guilty more and more. 只要不是自己的朋友或者无辜者,对于杀人,路西恩是越来越没有罪恶感了。 The vision loses the brilliance gradually, Chris falls on the compartment plank unrequitedly, if we had known like this, that might as well choose to leave behind the left hand from the beginning. 目光渐渐失去光彩,克里斯死不瞑目地倒在车厢木板上,如果早知道会这样,那一开始不如选择留下左手。 Sometimes begs for mercy and exchanges not necessarily is the ratio withstands to punish a better choice directly. 有时候求饶和交换不一定是比直接承受惩罚更好的选择。 Points at the flame to emit, burns down the invitation, Lucien shoves open the compartment window, shouts gently: „Betty.” 手指火苗冒出,将邀请函烧掉,路西恩推开车厢窗子,轻轻喊道:“贝蒂。” Half elf young girl Betty of standing night watch besides has the yawn occasionally, all around according to the method bright loosen that brother-in-law Simon taught has observed secretly tightly, guarded against the sneak attack of wild animal or robber, but the back Lucien sudden summon actually frightened her to jump, in the hand moved the campfire the wooden stick almost to fall into the fire of high-piled firewood. 守夜的半精灵少女贝蒂除了偶尔打哈欠之外,一直按照姐夫西蒙教导的方法明松暗紧地观察四周,防备野兽或者强盗的偷袭,可背后路西恩突如其来的呼唤却是吓了她一跳,手中拨动营火的木棒差点掉进火堆。 Waits to awaken is the voice of employer, is not witch and in the black Sorcerers legend that resentful spirit and ghost that called people the name, Betty patted striking one's chest, in the heart complained: „Really scared to death me!” 等醒悟是雇主的声音,不是女巫和黑魔法师传说里那种叫人名字的怨灵和鬼魂,贝蒂才拍了拍胸脯,心中抱怨:“真是吓死我了！” She has turned around, squeezes the delightful smiling face: „Does Mr. Evans, what matter have?” 她转过身,挤出甜美的笑容:“伊文斯先生,有什么事情吗？” „You to compartment here, a little matter told you.” The Lucien sound is not loud. “你到车厢这里来,有点事情吩咐你。”路西恩声音不大。 Betty walked subconsciously two steps, suddenly remembers the elder sister and brother-in-law had mentioned matter, many appearances or the statures also calculate that the good female adventurer and mercenary soldier will always receive the harassment and yin * of employer, but now quiet at dead of night, Mr. Evans asks himself to go to his compartment...... 贝蒂下意识走了两步,忽然想起姐姐和姐夫提到过的事情,很多长相或身材还算不错的女性冒险者和佣兵总是会受到雇主的骚扰和yin*,而现在夜深人静,伊文斯先生叫自己去他的车厢…… Therefore she pauses fiercely, the complexion smiling face is stiff: „Did Mr. Evans, what matter have to say directly?” 于是她猛地停步,脸色笑容僵硬起来:“伊文斯先生,有什么事情请直接说？” If although the employer is generous, has not let the person extremely repugnant place, some opening do not have the female adventurer of companion not to mind to have the relations, after all in lonely difficult adventurer profession, not only can enjoy the happiness of body, and can obtain the matter of generous reward is many people are unable to reject, although Mr. Evans young handsome, the style of speaking is graceful, is generous, even if not initiative yin * , many female adventurers are willing with his share pleasure, but they turn over to them, oneself are very conservative! 虽然如果雇主慷慨大方,又没有让人太过讨厌的地方,部分开放且没有伴侣的女性冒险者并不介意发生关系,毕竟在寂寞艰苦的冒险者生涯里,既能够享受身体的欢愉,又可以得到丰厚报酬的事情是很多人无法拒绝的,虽然伊文斯先生年轻英俊、谈吐优雅,出手大方,哪怕不主动yin*,也有不少女性冒险者愿意与他共享欢乐,但她们归她们,自己可是很保守的！ „A minor matter needs you to process.” Lucien has not teased the thoughts of pure young girl, referred to the compartment, „had the bandits and thieves to dive.” “一点小事需要你处理一下。”路西恩没有逗弄纯洁少女的心思,指了指车厢,“有盗贼潜进来了。” „What?!” Betty almost calls out in alarm makes noise, but she covers to be quiet immediately, looks right and left, discovered after has not awakened the elder sister and brother-in-law, hurries to walk toward the carriage. “什么？！”贝蒂差点惊呼出声,不过她马上捂住嘴,左看右看,发现没有惊醒姐姐和姐夫后,赶紧往马车走去。 Opens the vehicle door enters the compartment time, during Betty is annoying thinks suddenly: „Really has the bandits and thieves? Can be the lie that Mr. Evans deceives me to come in intentionally? If, what if he wants to make, I reject with stern words, is great shout? Knocks down him directly?” 打开车门走进车厢的时候,贝蒂懊恼之中突然想到:“真的有盗贼吗？会不会是伊文斯先生故意骗我进来的谎言？如果,如果他想做什么,我是严词拒绝,还是大声呼喊呢？或者直接打晕他？” Anxious nervous Betty noticed that in the compartment truly lies down black clothes bandits and thieves, Lucien is also sitting in the one side very much politely, feels relieved truly, but faintly is a little also disappointed, don't oneself have the charm? Can't Mr. Evans a point have a liking for himself? 紧张不安的贝蒂看到车厢里确实躺着一个黑衣盗贼,路西恩也很有礼貌地坐在一旁,才真正放心下来,不过也隐隐有点失望,自己难道没有魅力？伊文斯先生一点也看不上自己？ „Chris? Is he bandits and thieves?!” Light disappointed washed out by the surprised mood quickly, „did he die? Is you kills his, Mr. Evans?” “克里斯？他是盗贼？！”淡淡失望很快被惊讶的情绪冲散,“他死了？是您杀死他的吗,伊文斯先生？” The Lucien smile said: „He wants the coming in larceny my long sword, to act finally slightly heavily a point, awakens me, therefore was sneak attacked to massacre by me.” 路西恩微笑道:“他想进来偷窃我的长剑,结果动作稍微重了一点,将我惊醒,于是被我偷袭杀掉。” Betty wants to say anything, hears word is on the rise startled, sees Lucien not to have the ordinary aristocrat young master to kill people the later fear and compunction, like the daytime same tranquil nature. 贝蒂本来想说点什么,闻言愕然抬头,见路西恩没有普通贵族少爷杀人之后的害怕和内疚,如同白天一样的平静自然。 Associates to have Chris again even is not both hands great sword soldier, but the step, agile is very uncommon, the strength will not compare the elder sister and brother-in-law misses many, she has clearly to become aware said in a low voice: „Mr. Evans, your strength is not perhaps bad.” 再联想起克里斯即使不是双手巨剑战士,但步伐、敏捷等都很不凡,实力并不会比姐姐和姐夫差多少,她有所明悟地低声道:“伊文斯先生,您的实力恐怕不差。” Should he be high rank squire? Mr. Evans is so young has this degree, really makes one admire. 他应该是高阶骑士侍从了吧？伊文斯先生这么年轻就有这种程度,真是让人敬佩。 „Troubles Betty you to process this corpse.” Lucien had not replied, refers to was lying down Chris, on this fellow besides the bandits and thieves tool, actually only brought several silver Nar. “麻烦贝蒂你将这尸体处理一下。”路西恩没有回答,指了指躺着的克里斯,这家伙身上除了盗贼工具外,竟然只带了几个银纳尔。 Before Betty then remembers himself, words that prepared to speak, was sorry that ridiculed saying: „Mr. Evans, I apologized to you, is the negligence that I stood night watch makes Chris dive. But can you do not tell my elder sister, I do not want to make her disappointedly with scolding. I will draw the lesson.” The vision clear is entreating 贝蒂这才想起自己之前准备说的话,抱歉地讪笑道:“伊文斯先生,我向您道歉,是我守夜的疏忽才让克里斯潜了进来。可您能不能不要告诉我姐姐,我不想让她失望和责骂。我自己会吸取教训的。”目光晶莹地哀求着 Lucien chuckle, raises up the finger to place the lip: „, You processed the corpse quietly, your older sister will not know.” 路西恩轻笑一声,竖起手指放在嘴唇:“嘘,你悄悄处理好尸体,你姐姐就不会知道了。” „Real? Mr. Evans you are really a big good person.” Betty said with a smile happily, not, because Chris's death had any illness, this bandits and thieves were held generally are also the result of death. “真的吗？伊文斯先生您真是一位大好人。”贝蒂开心地笑道,并没有因为克里斯的死亡有任何不适,这种盗贼被抓住一般也是死亡的结局。 Looks that Betty holds the corpse to walk toward outside softly, Lucien asked suddenly: „Does Betty, you know Karran Tiya old castle?” 看着贝蒂轻手轻脚地抱起尸体往外面走去,路西恩突然问道:“贝蒂,你知道卡伦尔迪亚古堡吗？” „No. Does not remember that called the old castle of this name.” Betty is frowning thinks carefully. “没有。不记得有叫这个名字的古堡。”贝蒂皱着眉头仔细想了想。 Lucien nods slightly disappointedly. 路西恩略微失望地点了点头。 The adventurers experience also calculate that rich Betty processed Chris's body quickly, has not alarmed anybody, next day continued to go forward time, except for that two leaving without saying good-bye that recited roaming Poet a little strange Chris, others have not cared, because Betty felt grateful the Lucien's security, was even more warm and respectable to him. 冒险者经验还算丰富的贝蒂很快处理好了克里斯的尸体,没有惊动任何人,第二天继续前进的时候,除了那两位吟游诗人有点奇怪克里斯的不告而别,其他人并没有在意,而贝蒂则由于感激路西恩的保密,对他愈发热情和尊敬。 The evening of third day, the carriage went a road fork, has the remote mountain lumbering area fog town/subdues toward north, had the iron ore Nice town/subdues toward Northeast, both can go to city, but the former was more remote, a path more difficult line, few people walked that side. 第三天的傍晚,马车行驶到了一个岔路口,往北是拥有深山伐木场的灰雾镇,往东北是有铁矿的尼斯镇,两者都能到科瑟城,只不过前者更偏僻、道路更难行,很少有人走那边。 Because Lena must go to the fog town/subdues, the adventurer squad chose in the road fork northbound.( To be continued.
