Chapter 128 Chapter Four
hello carl.Anyway, we are already blocked by Hagmonia to the north, and Jeppen to the south, isn't it?The east side is blocked by the sea.So, this war should make Baizos realize the necessity of developing the west.Carl, what do you think?Now that there are no dragons, Byzos may have a hard time merging with Jeppen.The final answer should be to develop the west. what!what!what! However, I, Xiuqi Niedfa, of course did not come to this land with the sun behind my back for the western exploration.That little thing has nothing to do with me. "My God! My God!" Oh, that's the kind of little thing I'm talking about. A girl stood there with her back to the dark blue western sky.A shawl is worn around her shoulders and the ends are tied across her chest.Behind her was a dark blue sky, but her face facing the sun was fair.The morning wind ruffled her red hair.And now I am facing the rising sun behind my back, walking towards the girl. The girl on the hill was standing quietly waiting for me.She squeezed her lips together.A head of red hair flew wildly.Although even the shawl on her shoulders fluttered slightly, the girl's fair face remained motionless.I raise my hand.I think she can't see my face, right?Because of the sun behind me, my face must look dark, right?However, the girl's eyes gradually widened. "Shu Qi?" Hahaha. "Shu Qi?" Ha ha ha ha. "Shu Qi!" I suddenly felt an unbearable cry coming from my chest, like the shortness of breath when I was anxious to struggle after accidentally falling into the water. I didn't say it with my throat, I said it with my chest, "Jamini!" I jumped off the Thunderkeeper and ran up to the hill that stood in the western sky that had just dawned.A head of red hair fluttered, and the skirt was thrown back as if it was about to be torn.The shawl flies up to the back.The white shawl flew like a banner into the western sky. "Xiu-qi!" We slammed into each other violently, almost suffocating.I held Jemini in my arms and just kept going in circles.The world turns in circles and changes at the same time.The red morning light of the eastern sky and the dusky black of the western sky.Extremely bright and extremely dark are turning, but all I can see under my nose is a waterfall of red hair.I also heard Jemini's shrill voice coming through the wind in my ears. "I knew you would come back! Uh! Uh! I knew you would come back! Xiu Qi, Xiu Qi, Xiu Qi!" Yeah?I already knew that too.I know you will be waiting for me.I already knew who I would meet first when I returned to my hometown. The white shawl that fluttered around Jemini's shoulders, fluttering blindingly, kept flying.Under a dark blue sky, the sunlit shawls fluttered forever and ever. December 18, 315.weather?snort!Does the weather matter?I can't remember anymore! Mr Taban he guessed right.So amazing!How on earth did Mr. Taban know?To paraphrase what Xiu Qi said: the year spent by an old man is not comparable to that of a child or a young man.Is it because of this? (I thought about it carefully. After Xiu Qi came back, he was very good at using difficult sentences. It seemed to be very strange.) It was just like what was stated in yesterday's diary.cluck.It turned out that this was the diary she wrote the day before yesterday when I came back. 'As stated in yesterday's diary'?Haha, Jamie.You don't have to try hard to follow me in difficult sentences.But what was written in the diary the night before that day?OK, let me go to the previous page. ... ran into Mr. Taiban on the way home this evening.Mr. Taiban, who was facing the song of Santrella, turned his head in my direction when he heard my footsteps (what a surprise!). 'Jamie?Did you go to wait for Xiuqi again today? ''I'm going for a walk. ''Why do you all walk in the same direction? ''Everyone has a favorite walk, doesn't they? ''yes?Ah, yes.Don't go for a walk at night, go for a walk in the morning. ''But I got up late in the morning...''Get up early tomorrow, and go for the walking route you like. 'what.Hahaha.It turned out to be such a thing!I glanced at Jemini lying on the bed and couldn't help giggling.Jemini just breathed out evenly, and fell asleep without even turning over.She slept so peacefully.Let me see.Should I go back to the diary I wrote the next day?That's the day I come back. I went to the hills outside the village early in the morning as Mr. Taiban said.The weather is very cold, but strangely, the feet are not very cold.After the sun came out, it was very dazzling, and I wanted to turn my head, but at that time, strangely, I didn't turn my head.At this moment, I saw a black shadow in front of Father Sun's face... "Hee hee hee hee! Well, tut." The sound made me almost faint.Ouch, the girl!While muttering, I pulled the quilt that Jemini kicked off and pulled it up to her neck.It's so cold, and you dare to sleep with your stomach exposed, wouldn't it be bad tomorrow morning!Why, she drank glass after glass of the wine I poured her next to me, and that's what it turned out to be! I sat down in the chair again and picked up Jemini's diary. December 19, 315.Although it was cold, there were no clouds, so it was a very sunny day. This bad Xiuqi!This bad Xiuqi!Really, why don't you come to my house?Xiu Qi has been staying in the castle on the hill since early morning today, and he hasn't come out until the afternoon.In the afternoon, when the security guard Mr. Turner came to the village, I finally got news about Xiu Qi.Mr. Turner said: "Huh? Ah, he has to report to Mr. Deacon what happened during this period, so he will not come out. I don't know very well. Only Mr. Taban, Mr. Deacon and Xiu There are three people inside. Do you want me to tell you something?’ I’m still angry now, almost to death! I want to ask him to tell me something? I went up to the hills several times at night, but I didn’t see him. The traces of Xiuqi. But Dad just came back and said that he saw Xiuqi going to Mr. Karl's house with Mr. Taiban in the evening. I still tried not to be angry, but I kicked the table legs unknowingly during dinner time After a while, I was scolded by my mother. I was so sad that I lost my appetite and didn’t even eat. As a result, I’m really hungry now. I’m holding my belly and writing in my diary. This guy, Xiu Qi. Tomorrow Just wait and see, you didn't know where you went, and you came back after your ear was cut off, but you didn't come to me? You bastard! How can you be so careless about your body! Hahaha.That's why she drank like that tonight!hum. After I closed Jamie's diary, I hid it back to the place she believed no one in the world knew about, which was under Jamie's bed.This girl.Of course your family knows about the diary you hide under the bed, and a whole bunch of other treasures of yours, and so do I, so you must not know that, right? After covering Jamie's quilt again, I walked out of Jamie's room. Outside the room, Jamie's mom is trying to pull Jamie's dad into the room. When Jemini's mother saw me, she said happily, "Oh, Fudge. Do me a favor. How did he come back after drinking like this? What the hell happened in Henna's shop?" Jamie's father, Mr. Smetag, was paralyzed and lying on the ground.He was muttering to himself, but he really couldn't understand what he was talking about.I said, "Haha. I almost emptied Auntie Henna's wine cellar tonight." "Oh my god. Xiu Qi, you are really generous! Although the young man is full of blood, but if he squanders like this, he will be useless in the future. Oh, look at me. I should ask you to help me carry this old man first. !" I laughed and carried Mr. Smetag into the room.After I put Mr. Smetag on the bed, Mrs. Smetag handed me a glass of water as soon as I walked out the door.She looked at my ears with worried eyes, and said, "I heard Jemini mention it, but how did your ears get like this?" "Gulu Gulu. It's a long story. When I was traveling, I had a fight with a half-orc, and I was hacked at that time." "Yeah, almost lost the ear. We Jamie cried so hard last night." "Crying? Really, hahaha..." "After she cried and fell asleep, she kept talking in her sleep all night. She kept muttering: Although your ears were injured, but luckily you came back alive. So I thought you had become half-crippled. But I see Your condition is not very serious. Has it affected your hearing?" "No. Not at all." "Really? It's really hard work for you to bring this pair of father and daughter who were drunk unconscious, Xiu Qi. But, why don't you seem to be very drunk?" "Ah, yes. I didn't drink much. In fact, there was no time for drinking. Because I just kept telling stories." "Really, those drunkards don't let people who come back from a long trip have a good rest. You should have a good rest for a few days, but you went to report to Mr. Deacon yesterday, and today you were dragged away by the drunkards. You must be very tired. And You brought the two of them back, you must be very tired. I'm going to tidy up the room now, you can sleep here." "Oh, I'm fine. Auntie. I'm not tired. I want to go home and rest." "Really? But it's getting late. You want to go home, but you're so tired, how can you go back?" "Haha. I can walk home even if I close my eyes on this road. Although I have been away for a few months, I can still find my home!" Then I said good-bye to Jemini's mother and walked out of Mr. Smetag's house. It was the most lively and grand drinking scene in Hetante Village in the past ten years, but I didn't drink much. Really depressed.However, the smell of the air in my hometown already made me drunk, so I couldn't drink alcohol, which I can bear.No matter what, it will take a lot of effort for Aunt Heina to clean up the messy drunks in the hall tomorrow morning. People haven't changed. When they heard what I said, they were all so surprised that they could hardly speak.There are actually many parts of the story I tell that have been cut out.Because there are many things mixed in it that cannot be disclosed.And just as Karl said, our territory is a territory that has reached a balance with Amtat, so people must not be able to understand the ambitions of the Marquis of Harshtel, or the tragedy of Nex, or the distress of Klad Messo. , so those parts, I also cut out quite a lot of content. However, just those stories that were not deleted surprised the villagers of Hetante enough.They heard the terrible news of the God's Landing in the central woodland recently. I, the candlemaker heir of Hetante, Xiuqi Niedfa, has experienced it twice, and I know the God's Landing very well. They all heard it. Very surprised.From their fuzzy memories, they managed to search for the memory of the Great Labyrinth, and when they heard that I had entered that place, they all felt incredible.However, they scolded me, saying that if I tied the rope outside the maze, then they would be able to find the way in more easily. When I heard that, I couldn't help but laugh and be at a loss.It seems that the big labyrinth in these people's heads is only slightly bigger than the bear cave. As soon as I got home, I saw a faint light leaking from the house. I tied the Thundermaster to the workshop and went inside.It was dark inside.The light that leaked out of the house turned out to be the light of the firewood burning in the fireplace.And on the bed directly in front of the fireplace—the bed my father used to use—sat a dark figure.That's Taiban. Taiban didn't even look back, he said, "Is it Xiuqi?" "Yes. Have you been waiting long?" I was going to ask him why he didn't light a candle, but I swallowed the sentence reluctantly.Because what Taiban needs is not light, it should be the heating of the fireplace.Ha ha.I pulled up a chair and sat down. Taiban was still facing the fireplace, sitting there with a half-empty wine bottle next to him.As soon as I saw the thing, Taeban picked up the bottle with a smile and handed it to me correctly.He didn't even turn his head, just stretched out his arms. "You look like a ghost. Are you really blind?" "Hmm. I heard that when someone sees a wine bottle, there will be a sound of drooling." I took the bottle and took a sip.Wow!It's Moloquet Sabonne!Hahaha. I shut my mouth and held out the bottle without saying a word.Taiban, however, shook his head. "I don't want to drink. Give it all to you." It's amazing, it's amazing.Did he even hear the shaking of the wine in the bottle? I giggled and put the wine bottle on the table.Taiban kept staring at the fireplace, no, it should be said that he just turned his face in that direction, and said, "Oh, really. This fireplace smells really heavy." "Because it's been a long time since I started the fire. ... Hendrick." Hendrick's face was expressionless.Because his eyes couldn't see, his eyelids were quietly closed all the time, as if he was in deep thought.Only the huge shadows of me and Hendrick swayed on the wall. It was a silent night when no one moved. "From the story you told yesterday, I can feel that you have roughly guessed it. Why did you just say this fact that you know today?" "Because I want to tell you first how I know." "Really? Huh. Did you tell anyone?" "Well. Karl should have already guessed it. Because Karl knows almost everything I know. I'm afraid Shan Sen can't guess it. However, Adeline should have been here, but everyone else seems to be here. have no idea." "Well. The kid didn't tell anyone." Hendrick suddenly turned to face me.His eyelids opened, revealing white pupils.Hendrick narrowed his eyes slowly. "In the future..." "Of course I'll keep it a secret. I see." "As expected of a clever assistant. Haha. Although I have lost my eyesight to see things, I still have eyesight to know people." "Are your eyes a side effect of vampires?" "It should be possible to say that. Because I barely walked around during the day, my eyesight weakened a lot. My body also became very bad. Fortunately, I received tattoo surgery in the witch village, and my body returned to its original appearance, and even the desire to suck blood was cured. I can control it, but my eyes are completely blind. Here, on the left chest... the tattoo on the heart side is the seal of the vampire." "Hmph. There are so many rare spells that witches can teach. But, I heard that is a tattoo that only women can accept?" "There are exceptions to everything, aren't there?" "Ah, yes. That's right." Hendrick stretched his body, and said: "Then, I want to continue listening to what you said yesterday. What choice did Renee make? Seeing how you came back like this, Renee should have chosen Kigored. " I chuckled and raised the bottle again.hey-hey.What I didn't get in Santrera's song, I made up for it here. "Before I talk, please talk about it first." "What's the meaning?" "As the person who created the Dragon Soul Envoy, and also the person who brought Renee to Port Dayhapa, please explain." Hendrick's fingers were crossed in his lap.It's like he's sorting out his own thoughts. "There are a few things that you have to explain. It was little Renee that you brought to Port Day Harpa. But Renee's mother was still alive until recent years. So you snatched from Renee's mother Take her, take her?" "That's not at all true. I'm afraid I'm too slow to realize I've picked the wrong assistant." "Hmph. Then please explain." "It's really not a big story. I met Renee. I met Renee who was only two or three years old. Her mother was not with her at the time. Although this is my guess, but, I think it may be that her mother was afraid that the Marquis would snatch the child away, so she left the Marquis' mansion as soon as she became pregnant." "It's really weird. If Renee stays in the Marquis' mansion and becomes the Marquis's daughter, then Renee's future should be very good, isn't it? And not only her, that woman will also..." "No. You are wrong. What the Marquis wants is a child of his own blood, not a wife. Because he already has a wife. Therefore, it should be that the child will be taken away, and the poor woman will be kicked out. Think about it. If it is not the official wife who gave birth to the child but the maid, what will happen to the reputation of the Marquis family? Also, what will happen to the reputation of the Dragon Soul Envoy?" "It's abominable—" "So she should have hidden the fact of her pregnancy and left the Marquis's house. However, that woman was not that strong, so in the end she still left Renee in front of the Marquis's mansion." "Aha. Is that so?" "Yes. I picked up Renee in front of the Marquis's mansion. I couldn't bear it, so I took her away. I wandered to Dai Harpa, but I suddenly had to go south because of Siona's relationship. ,我掌握到了她的消息。所以,我把蕾妮交给戴哈帕的那间酒店,就搭船南下了。” “哼嗯。现在我知道是怎么一回事了。” “所以说,如果要我去猜蕾妮做了什么选择,这会是很可笑的话。” “是。可是,您为何要创造出龙魂使呢?” 亨德列克闭嘴不回答。我看着那个被火光照得像戒指般发亮的酒瓶口,说道:“亨德列克创造了龙魂使……我到处游走大陆所听到最为震惊的话,就是这一句了。这所有的事件,终究就是因为龙魂使所引发的,可是,没想到正是亨德列克创造了龙魂使。曾是拜索斯恩人的亨德列克,居然是孕育拜索斯的悲剧种子的人。” “你这家伙。不要把在你眼前的人,讲成第三人称。你这趟旅行好像只学到不好的习惯!” “啊,对不起。我抱着无限混乱的头脑,费力忍到贺坦特村,现在我还没恢复正常,才会这个样子。而且因为我又忍了两天,所以现在我的脑子简直就快爆炸了。那么,到底是怎么一回事呢?如果说您创造出了龙魂使,您就是哈修泰尔家的复兴原因,而且是克拉德美索的悲剧原因,是龙魂使们悲哀的原因……可恶!” boom!我用拳头重击了一下桌子,结果桌子就在瞬息之间被打坏了。然而,亨德列克却纹风不动。我把被打坏掉的桌子碎片一个个塞进壁炉里面。 “请您解释一下!为何要创造龙魂使呢?” “你有何根据?看你这样生气,我想你一定有根据。” “我当然是有根据。” “你说说看。” 桌子没了,所以没有地方可以放酒瓶。我把拿着酒瓶的手垂到椅子旁边,用一副无力的模样坐着。然而,亨德列克的坐姿从刚才到现在,都丝毫没有动过。我简直就像是个酒鬼。连我的模样,还有从嘴里说出的话也很像是个酒鬼。 “星星有几颗呢?” “当然是八颗。” “是的。是八星。龙、人类、精灵、矮人、半身人、妖精、半兽人。剩下的一个,我不知道。不管怎么样,只剩下龙之星。可是,真的只剩下龙之星吗?” "What's the meaning?" “最后一颗不为人知的星星……那颗星还在不在呢?” 亨德列克并没有回答。我现在发现到,我已经陷进亨德列克的话术里了。他从刚才就一直叫我讲,自己却只回答愿意回答的部分。 啊,随便他了。因为,我有话就一定要讲下去。 “很好。姑且先说为人所知的种族星星之中,只剩下龙之星。而如果我听到的事是真的,那么失去星星的种族就得永远保有其不完整性。所以,必须有龙魂使,来和比较完整的龙族沟通。” 我提起酒瓶,又再喝一口。不过,喉咙却是干的。我说道:“真是可笑的事,是吧。” "ridiculous?" “那只是条件。并不是理由。” “你解释一下这句话。” “条件和理由当然是不同的。龙是接近完整,处于我们的相反极端上,我们如果想和龙沟通,必须有龙魂使。这是条件。然而,和龙沟通的必要是什么呢?行为并不是从条件里引发出来的,应该是由理由引发出来的。并不是因为餐桌摆设好吃的菜,才吃饭的,是因为肚子饿才吃饭的。我们和龙沟通的条件是因为具备有龙魂使,可是,沟通的必要性是什么呢?” 我又再喝一口。敬伟大的克拉德美索。 “我见到了克拉德美索。” 亨德列克用他的白色眼睛,一直看着柴火。于是,他的眼睛看起来是红色的。我突然觉得吸血鬼这个名称对亨德列克而言,很是适合。 “克拉德美索顾忌缔结龙魂使的契约。我是在那个时候觉悟到的。克拉德美索他这样说过:'互相不同的两个个体接触,一定会产生变化。向往大海,朝大海奔腾的河水终究会变成大海。'人类对他而言,太过充满变化性,有了龙魂使之后,他就走上了完全不同的路。” 酒都喝完了吗?可是,我的意识还很清楚,喉咙却好干渴。我倒拿着酒瓶,摇了好一阵子之后,把最后几滴酒滴到嘴里。嘴唇简直就快干裂掉了。我说道:“人类透过龙魂使,可以改变龙。” That's right.就是这句话!龙被龙之星保护着,但是人类透过龙魂使,得以接近龙。然后,人类对世上所有东西所行之事,也可以对龙施行。 “很简单,这实在是太简单的道理。人类可以改变世上其他所有事物,但是对于那伟大的种族,自始至终保有自己星星的种族龙族,人类却不容易改变他们。然而,有了龙魂使,人类连龙也能够改变。” 我看着空空的酒瓶,低沉地说:“路坦尼欧大王万岁!”亨德列克一言不发。 我说道:“喂。既然我带头喊了,您也跟着喊吧。路坦尼欧大王万岁!最后终于连龙也奉献到人类的神殿了!人类的脚步走过,会在森林中造出小径;而人类的眼光所及,会在夜空中造出星座。人类如果嘲讽,精灵会自取灭亡;人类如果轻视,矮人会退化。拥有自己星星的龙,原本相信已经逃过人类的破坏,然而,有了龙魂使,最后终究连那颗星星的保护也退色了。用双脚立地凝视天空的人类最后终究借由龙魂使,而破坏了星星的保护,连龙也被屈服了。人类万岁,路坦尼欧大王万岁!哈哈哈哈!” 呼呜呜呜!外面的风像在呼应我的笑声似的,猛烈吹袭着。从烟囱上方似乎有烟逆流下来,所以壁炉的火焰奇异地晃动着。而随着火焰的晃动,浮现在墙上的亨德列克影子以及我的影子,也跟着奇异地舞动着。 "Why do you think so?" 亨德列克的声音还是和刚才一模一样。从我一开始进来屋子里面,一直到现在,亨德列克的声音没有丝毫变化。 “……啊呃呃呃啊!” 我无可奈何地用双手掩住脸孔。把头埋在胸前,我长长地呼出一口气。 “呃呼呼呼……呼呜呜……” 我就这么垂着头,看着脚尖,无力地说:“这是一个叫做伊露莉的精灵说的。” 从脚边伸出去的长影子随着火焰的晃荡,跟着动摇着。而我双腿的明暗也继续一直变化着。所以看起来就像是我的腿在动,但实际上,我的腿根本没有动弹。我说道:“呼。如果要达到和谐,就必须彼此不同。精灵们因为这道理而一直苦闷着。当时,我才觉悟到您的计划、您的野心根本就是行不通的。或许可以说我发觉到这和我所想象的完全不一样。” "Why is it different?" “您想要所有种族达到完整,超越他们的不协调,引导他们走向神。这是个浪漫而且野心勃勃的计划。然而,这在理论上,却是行不通的。因为,完整性只有在面对不完整性时,才能掌握其相对含意。” “有两颗一模一样的小石子。重量、颜色、质感都相同。那么,对于它们来说,就无法用轻、重来形容了。当两颗小石子的重量互不相同时,才能说一个比较重,另一个比较轻。” 我把手放了下来。反正亨德列克又看不到。这只是为了说服我自己而做的动作。 “完整性也是一样。只有在彼此有不同之处的时候,才能说一个是完整的,另一个是不完整的。如果有人是一出世就没看过蜡烛,那他会无法知道没有烛芯的蜡烛是完整的,还是不完整的。不对,应该说,如果世上被称作蜡烛的蜡烛,原本就都没有芯,那么人们应该会相信没有芯的蜡烛是完整的蜡烛吧。这是因为没有可以拿来比较的对象。” 所谓的完整,结果终究只是存在的东西之间的组合。那么说来,这有些令人不安。难道无意义的东西,有可能一直到有意义为止,才有可能聚集在一起吗?是不是无意义的东西聚集一起,才会产生意义吗?No such thing.存在的所有东西都是不完整的,它们不论如何聚集,还是无法变得完整。因为完整是惟一一个的含意,这同时也是法则。 “您想让八个种族全都变成完整的种族。万一依照您的计划,那么意思就是,八个种族会变成一模一样。那么,他们就没有完整了。 在我们这世界上,连神也会为了显现自己,而彼此不同。像优比涅与贺加涅斯就是如此! " 优比涅与贺加涅斯。总是以复数出现。没有单数。没有所谓的惟一一个。 “优比涅如果没有贺加涅斯,就无法存在;而贺加涅斯如果没有优比涅,就会无法存在!因为优比涅是协调,无法具有混乱性,所以是不完整的;而贺加涅斯是混乱,无法具有协调性,所以是不完整的。 因此,您的计划根本是荒谬不实的。或许当初是因为您自己误解了完整的含意。如果您一定硬要实现您的计划,您就得创造出一些超越优比涅与贺加涅斯的种族。 " 亨德列克的头非常缓慢地动了。可是,我觉得这样还不够。我又再问他:“存在即是分别,而分别是在有相异点的时候,才有可能达成! 然而,如果有相异点,那就已经无法是完整的了!不管这是优点,还是缺点,都是一样不完整。如果某个东西和某个东西不同,那么意思就是说,它们已经是不完整的。所以,您永远都无法引领八个种族到完整的境界。即使那些星星都放在您手中,也不可能做得到!我说得对吗? " "right." “难道您是喜欢反复咀嚼自己的失败,喜欢一直郁闷不乐吗?” "no." “很好,那么现在,我不想让谈话陷于一时的情绪之中。所以您可以告诉我事实是怎么一回事吗?您创造出龙魂使,这代表你想放弃理想,宣言自己要站在人类这一边吗?这是一种对大王回心转意的态度吗?” 亨德列克慢慢地抬头。他开始一直盯着根本看不到的天花板。 习惯真是种可怕的东西! “这是我对人类的错误判断。可能因为我是人类的关系吧,所以不知道那种绝对无法估算到的陷阱之类的东西。你来判断一下我说得对不对。” “请您说吧。” 亨德列克先是闭上嘴巴不说话。大约过了一分钟左右,亨德列克一动也不动。或许他现在是在他脑海里追溯三百年前的事吧。亨德列克突然开口说道:“如果要讲到创造龙魂使的事,首先应该先从我去找神龙王的事开始讲起。你应该知道那件事吧?” “是的……在路坦尼欧大王破坏了那些星星的时候。” 我差一点就说……是被妖精女王破坏的。然而,有说跟没有说是一样的。因为,亨德列克的脸上浮现出了微笑。我干咳了几声之后,等亨德列克继续说下去。 “是啊。当时星星被破坏之后,我为了要把惟一剩下的龙之星拿到手,所以去找神龙王。当然啦,一直到那个时候,我都还不知道你刚才说的'完整是不合理的'事情。我希望能把惟一剩下的龙族都引领到完整,于是只好去找我最强的敌人。然而,如果你听到的故事是正确的,那你应该知道当时我并不是一个人去找他。” “啊?您不是一个人去找他的吗?” “当然不是。我不会一个人去见神龙王的。” what does it mean?亨德列克明明是离开拜索斯皇城,只身去找大迷宫的。去找寻哈修泰尔大人所守护的北方的大迷宫…… “……哈修泰尔大人!” "you are right." “原来如此。您并不是独自一个人去见神龙王。您是在哈修泰尔大人的引导之下,进入大迷宫的。就好像,就好像人类透过龙魂使来和龙谈话那般!” “是啊。以前的事我还记忆犹新呢。说起来,哈修泰尔大人算是龙魂使家族的始祖,同时是第一代龙魂使。是他帮忙连结了人类亨德列克和神龙王。……”
“这地方真是宏伟啊,哈修泰尔大人。” 既宽又高的通道简直令人难以相信是在地底下,亨德列克一面看着通道,一面愉悦地说道。然而,走在前方拿着火把的哈修泰尔肩膀却一动也不动。随着火把的火光接近,影子就跟着往后退,在影子之中,偶尔会有一些可怕的眼光闪闪发亮。而且在远方通道或者旁边的岔路上,有时还会传出鸣叫声或咆哮声。那些应该是居住在大迷宫的半兽人,要不然就是其他的怪物吧。不过,亨德列克却很平稳地走去。他说道:“矮人所造的东西确实都是最为优良的。” 亨德列克在脑海里浮现出路坦尼欧大王和达兰妮安破坏星星时的那座地下祭坛,所以才说出这番话,然而,哈修泰尔大人不可能知道这事,因此他也没有回答什么话。亨德列克说道:“请问还要走很久吗?” “现在只是刚开始走而已。” “哇哈!真不愧是矮人建造的地方。事实上,我一直以为已经快到了。” "yes?" 哈修泰尔大人用很冷漠的语气说话,并且不停地往前走去。亨德列克则是嘻嘻笑了一声之后,默默地跟在他后面。 大约又走了十分钟左右。亨德列克听到像是石像怪的尖锐咆哮声,随口说道:“万一没有你,我一个人进到这里,会变成什么样子啊?” 火把突然停住不动。哈修泰尔大人停下脚步,然而,头也不回地说:“就算是你,也会丧生于此。这是一定的!” “你这么确信吗?” “我一直以来都这么确信。我现在感觉到我是在引领一具尸体。你以为你到了神龙王面前,不会死吗?” 哈修泰尔大人仍然还是背对着他说话。他是不是把亨德列克当成是已经死掉的人啊?但是,亨德列克嘻嘻笑着说:“这是很难讲的事。” 哈修泰尔大人又再开始前进。 走了好一阵子之后,他们便走下一条阶梯。不过,可能是因为有哈修泰尔大人直接带路,所以途中都没有妨碍者跑出来。偶尔会看到像是在站岗守卫的石像怪或巨魔,但他们都只是默默地看着哈修泰尔大人和亨德列克经过,并没有做出任何行动。 过了一会儿之后,到了中央瀑布。哈修泰尔大人和亨德列克从瀑布后面的通道走了出来。然后,他们从瀑布后面朝着中央湖泊方向前进时,亨德列克不禁深吸了一口气。 神龙王的巨大身躯整个沉浸在中央湖泊的清澈湖水之中。 神龙王看起来就像是睡着般。他的双翼收拢着,尾巴牢牢地卷曲在他巨大的身躯旁,整个身躯完全在湖里。围绕湖泊周围的所有通道处处都燃有火把,天花板浮现一些奇异的光晕,这些火把和光晕让中央湖泊像白天般明亮,于是,哈修泰尔大人把手中拿的火把丢到一旁。他低声对亨德列克说:“请你先站在这里吧。我是指瀑布后面。我不希望突然让他看到你,而震怒了他。” 亨德列克原本想要说些什么,但是哈修泰尔摇了摇头。随即,亨德列克就把双手交叉在胸前,点了点头。 哈修泰尔大人往前走去。他站在靠近湖泊边缘处,跪下一边膝盖,说道:“神龙王啊,您的侍从哈修泰尔请求谒见您。” 过了一会儿,神龙王的身躯缓慢移动了起来。亨德列克在不知不觉间发出了“呵呃”一声的赞叹词,并且张大了嘴巴。 神龙王肩上的长颈缓缓地开始上升。而在此同时,整座中央湖泊出现了巨大的波浪。喇啊啊啊。神龙王的长颈要完全浮上水面,似乎也花了很多时间。他这样缓慢移动,但湖水还是在颤动激荡着。 因为他的身躯实在是太大了。 最后,神龙王的头完全浮出水面了。虽然他的颈子绝大部分浸在水中,但他浮出水面的头部还是高高在上,简直令亨德列克仰望时快要折断了脖子。 神龙王的眼睛慢慢地打开。他环视周围,发现到哈修泰尔大人,然后他稍微降低头部,说道:“是哈修泰尔啊。” “您平安无恙吗?” “真是愚蠢的问题啊,哈修泰尔。你难道不知道那个奸诈的路坦尼欧的脚爪在我身上留下了伤口?” "Sorry." 神龙王稍微摇了摇头。虽然这是意味否定的小动作,但是藏身偷看的亨德列克却觉得大迷宫简直快塌了下来。 “不。我比喻错了。路坦尼欧自己是亨德列克的脚爪吧。哈哈哈。那么,我应该说是亨德列克的脚爪才对。” 此时,亨德列克的声音清楚地响起:“这个嘛。我不知道是不是我的脚爪,不过,那脚爪也抓伤了我啊。神龙王。” 哈修泰尔大人吓得赶紧站起来。 “亨德列克!我不是请你不要出来……” 亨德列克从瀑布后方走出来,抬头看神龙王,而神龙王则是挺着他那巨大的颈子,低头看亨德列克。站在中间的哈修泰尔大人左顾右盼,一副不知所措的样子。过了一会儿,响起了神龙王的说话声:“你为何叫哈修泰尔先出来?莫非你以为这样我会比较不震怒?” “这是他的想法。” “我看也是。你能够偷偷进得了这龙穴,应该是连你自己也不相信的事吧。” “您会这样想是当然的事。因为,就算路坦尼欧的剑再怎么锐利,也不会威胁到您的力量。” 神龙王的头部角度稍微变换了一些。 “你刚才是说,路坦尼欧的剑?你和他之间发生了什么事?” 哈修泰尔大人整个人都呆住了。因为,亨德列克、神龙王全都冷静万分,一副像是从很早以前就已经预备要和彼此见面的样子。照亨德列克的话看来,神龙王至少从亨德列克进入大迷宫开始,就已经做好要和他见面的准备。所以神龙王才会如此沉着,是吗? 亨德列克表情平静地说:“为了好好谈下去,请您暂且不谈我和您一直敌对的事。我也暂且不管您对妖精女王达兰妮安所做的事。” 神龙王的眼形急遽移动。神龙王气到几乎整个脸像是快痉挛似的,他生气地说:“你这个放肆的家伙……!那么你的意思是,你想要用那小小妖精的事,来责难我吗?” “当然。万一达兰妮安死了,这座大迷宫就会从这世上消失。”
