守灵：你们的确做了很多不可饶恕的事，但这无非是因为你们成长在错误的环境中，受到了错误的教育，才做出了错误的选择。

Shouling: You have committed terrible deeds, but perhaps it is because you were raised in a dreadful environment and taught the wrong values. This led you astray.

守灵：如果你肯配合，联盟倒也不是一定要判你和你的那些伙伴入灭。像你这样心高气傲的大人物，是否愿意配合呢？

Shouling: Listen, if you're willing to cooperate, the Alliance may not necessarily condemn you and your partners to death. Would someone as proud as you be willing to work with us?

咥力：你说不会杀了我们…噗，我倒确实想知道，我们为什么能活到现在。

Xili: Oh, so you're saying you won't kill us...? Hah, yeah. You know, I'm actually curious about how we've even managed to survive this long.

守灵：一群武装考古学派的家伙找到你们，要兜售给你们一台冲击鼓。你们当然想要这样的好东西，交易也推进得很顺利…直到一群步离人，开了更高的价码，要拿下那台冲击鼓。

Shouling: Well, a group of Armed Archaeologists approached you with an impact drum for sale, and naturally, you were interested in such a good toy. The deal was going smoothly... until a gang of borisin showed up with a higher bid.

守灵：你也抬了抬报价——这确实是个宝贝，能杀死舰船上所有的有机生命，却不会损害上面任何财物。我要是个像你们一样的土匪，我也眼馋。

Shouling: As expected, you raised your offer as well. I mean, that drum was a true treasure. It could wipe out all organic life on a ship without causing any other damage to the valuables. If I were a bandit like you, I'd want it too.

咥力：你到底想说什么？总不能是那群野狗来找你们击鼓鸣冤了吧？

Xili: What are you even trying to say? There's no way those mad dogs came to you and complained about us!

守灵：别急嘛…我只是在解释你的疑问。然后那群步离人突然把报价抬到了远超市值的高度，你将这视为一种挑衅。

Shouling: Hey, be patient... I'm just trying to explain what exactly happened. After those borisin increased their offer to outrageous levels far beyond the market value, you took it as a provocation.

守灵：但你不是个野蛮人…你不是，对吧？所以你想去找他们谈谈，搞清楚这些「野狗」到底想干什么。结果…他们直接袭击了你们。

Shouling: But you're not some savage brute... right? So, you tried to reason with the gang and figure out what these "mad dogs" wanted, but to your surprise... They attacked you instead.

咥力：啊…我还在想，染干并非那样的疯子，怎么会突然向我挑衅…原来是这样啊！真有你们的。

Xili: Heh... I see, that's why it happened. I was wondering why Rangan suddenly attacked me. He's not some lunatic... So that's how it is! You're pretty smart.

咥力：我以前就听说步离人里面有你们的细作…你们怎么做到的？策反？还是找了些比较像步离人的曜青狐人？啊…疼，这什么玩意儿！

Xili: I've heard rumors for a while that you had agents among the borisin... How did you manage that? Did you convert some of them? Or did you find some Yaoqing foxians who look like borisin? Ouch... what's this!?

守灵：啊，你好像触发了束缚器的禁制。刚才忘了提醒你了，你没有提问的资格。

Shouling: Oops, it appears you've just triggered the restraints on your bindings. Sorry for not reminding you earlier, but you're not in a position to ask questions.

咥力：啧…尘土里爬行的蛆虫！

Xili: Tsk... You worthless maggot crawling in dirt!

守灵：所以…我们快进到结论吧。现在丰饶民都觉得，造翼者咥力的部落和步离人染干的猎群闹了些不愉快。染干袭击了咥力的舰队，后者生死不明。

Shouling: So... let's get to the point. Presently, all the Denizens of Abundance believe that Wingweaver Xili's clan was involved in a conflict with Rangan the borisin's hunting party, and Rangan attacked Xili's fleet, leaving the fate of its leader unknown.

咥力：你们希望我报复染干，挑起步离人和造翼者之间的仇杀。那你们不必抓我，我自会去复仇。

Xili: So, you want me to seek revenge on Rangan and provoke a feud between borisin and wingweavers? If that's what you want, you don't have to arrest me, because I will exact my own retribution.

守灵：不，你不会。因为你不是卫天种，你是啼颂种。你比那些军事贵族更谨慎，更隐忍，更不可能为了一时气血去「复仇」。

Shouling: No, you won't, because you're not one of the Sky-Defenders. You're a Hymn-Singer. You're smarter and more patient than those military nobles, and you're not the type to seek "revenge" over a mere insult.

守灵：更何况你和其他人最大的不同在于，你根本就不是卫天种那群既得利益者中的一员，也永远无法加入他们…所以你不在乎造翼者的军事共同体，你只在乎你的部落。不是吗？

Shouling: Furthermore, the greatest difference between you and the others is that you are not one of the Sky-Defenders who share power among them, and you can never join them... Therefore, you don't care about the wingweavers' military coalition. All you care about is your own clan. Am I right?

守灵：正因如此，我们才把你和你的部落全都抓了回来。

Shouling: And that's why we have apprehended you and your entire clan.

咥力：（沉默数十秒）

Xili: (Remains silent for a while)

咥力：我能问几个问题吗？

Xili: Can I ask a few questions?

守灵：可以。

Shouling: Of course.

咥力：如果我去袭击他们，你…能保证我活下来吗？

Xili: If I attack them, can you guarantee... that I'll make it out alive?

守灵：不能。

Shouling: No, I can't guarantee that.

咥力：那我的那些部落民呢？

Xili: But what about my clansmen?

守灵：联盟将赦免他们的一切罪行。并且，以帝弓的名义起誓，他们会得到公正的保护，但不会允许他们继续繁衍。够公平吗？

Shouling: The Alliance will grant them pardons for their crimes. They will be protected fairly in the name of Reignbow, but they will not be allowed to proliferate. Does that sound fair?

咥力：很公平。

Xili: Well, fair enough.

守灵：成交？

Shouling: Deal?

咥力：…成交。

Xili: ...Deal.
