AndMorihaus, confused, snorted through his ring, saying,

莫里豪斯鼻子里喷出一声鼻息，吹得鼻环咔咔作响，有些迷惑不解，对头颅说：

"Yourcrusades went beyond her counsel, Whitestrake, but I

“你的革命战斗的进展有些超过她对你的忠告，怀特斯特拉哥(佩里纳尔的姓)，

ALESSIA'SYOUTH DURING THE SLAVE-YEARS

阿莱西娅身为奴隶的童年时光

Perrif'soriginal tribe is unknown, but she grew up in Sard,

我不清楚佩里芙最初生于哪个部落，但她是在萨德长大的，也称作萨达瓦里德，

anonSardarvar Leed, where the Ayleids herded in men from

在那里埃雷德精灵奴隶并统治着全尼本的人类：考夫里(考夫林吉人)，内德人，

acrossall the Niben: kothri, nede, al-gemha, men-of-

艾尔—吉姆哈，克雷夫(佛克瑞斯)人(不过后来发现这些人事实上是来自北方)

'kreath(though these were later known to be imported from the North), keptu, men-of-ge(who were eventually destroyed

喀普托人，盖人(最后这个种族在花王尼利齐向虫王【名字丢失】献祭时灭绝了)，

whenthe Flower King Nilichi made great sacrifice to an insect god named [lost]),al-hared, men-of-ket, others; but

艾尔—哈尔德，科特人以及其它数不胜数的种族;但这里是塞罗德(塞洛蒂尔)，

thiswas Cyrod, the heart of the imperatum saliache, where

是埃雷德精灵帝国的中心，这里的人类没有自由的概念，他们不能公开成家或是

menknew no freedom, even to keep family, or choice of name

选择自己的名字，对于他们的异族主人而言，他们只是奴隶，没有区分的必要。

exceptin secret, and so to their alien masters all of these designations wereirrelevant.

Menwere given over to the lifting of stones, and the

人类为他们采石耕种，或是被派去修建并维护神庙和道路;有些则为那些有古怪

乐趣的人作‘艺术’贡献，例如温达赛尔的悲泣之轮以及瑟森的肚肠脏脾花园;

更糟的有落入火王哈苏尔麾下领域的奴隶，他们不仅要忍受火焰烧身之苦，日夜

精灵夜晚狩猎猛兽时点燃来作为光源。

MORIHAUSEXPLAINS ALESSIA'S NAMES

莫里豪斯关于阿莱西娅诸多名号的解释

ThenMorihaus said to them: "In your tales you have many

接着莫里豪斯对他们说：“在你们的传说中传颂着她的许多名号：艾尔—阿什，

namesfor her: Al-Esh, given to her in awe, that when

代表你们对她的敬畏，翻译过来后却像个多余的赘词，‘至高之高’，就这样衍生

translatedsounds like a redundancy, 'the high high', from

whichcome the more familiar corruptions: Aleshut, Esha,

出更多滑稽又广为人知的错误称呼：阿丽舒特，艾莎，阿莱西娅。还有一个名字

Alessia.You knew her as Paravant, given to her when crowned,

帕拉凡特，是你们在她加冕之时给予她的，‘同族之首’，因为诸神认为她足以称

'firstof its kind', by which the gods meant a mortal worthy of the majesty that iskilling-questing-healing, which is

得上是杀戮—探索—医治领域中的最高之人，就这样又衍生出诸如帕拉瓦，培威

alsoParaval, Pevesh, Perrethu, Perrif, and, in my case,

什，佩勒索，佩里芙等名称，至于我作为她恋人的这种情况，我总是称她为：帕

forit is what I called her when we were lovers: Paravania."

拉瓦妮雅。”

"Thoughshe is gone to me, she remains bathed in stars,

“即使她已经离我而去，她依旧沐浴在如群星般闪耀的光辉之下，第一女皇，

firstEmpress, Lady of Heaven, Queen-ut-Cyrod."

苍穹女士，塞罗德的女王。”

Andthey considered themselves full-answered, and departed.

就这样他们认为自己已经获得了所有的答案，便欣然离去。
