Indlela yaseNtshona
Sibuyela kwindlela yaseNtshona enentlabathi emangalisayo yokuhambisa isithiyelo senamba kuFrederic. Ngazo zonke izinto ekuye kwafuneka ndizenzile mva nje, ndilibele kwaphela malunga namathumbu kunye neentsiba kwenye yeengxowa zam. Makhe ndikuxelele, le yayingeyonto eyothusayo. Sihambisa izinto kuFrederic, endiqinisekile ukuba akasuki kule ndawo ngeentsuku, kwaye ngovuyo unikezela ukusibhekisa kuthi ngamagama kwiziphumo zakhe ukuba zakha zapapashwa. UFrederic, ndiyafunda, usendleleni yenamba ethile: I-Abyssal High Dragon, endingaqinisekanga ngayo ukuba ndifuna ukudibana nayo.
Iqela lemigulukudu elizibiza ngokuba ziiClaws ezimhlophe zibeke imigibe kwindawo leyo uFrederic acinga ukuba inokuba yindawo elandelayo apho inamba izakuphelela khona-ubuncinci, ngokophando lwayo. Njengoko ndibaleka ndisiya emigibeni ukuze ndibashenxise kwezi zixhobo ndiyazibuza ukuba ihlala isenzeka njani le — ndihlala ndibophelela kwezona ziganeko zihlekisayo. Siqhaqha imigibe kwaye silwa neenzipho eziMhlophe eziza zibaleka zisinqande kodwa ngokucacileyo zisemva kwexesha.
Inkunkuma yeHissing
Ibhunga likholelwa ukuba kubalulekile ukwakha umkhosi wethu, izixhobo kunye nolwazi lwezicwangciso zikaCorypheus ngaphambi kokuba siye kwi-Wardens okanye sigqibe izicwangciso zethu zokuya kwibhola likaKumkanikazi uCelene, ke uJosephine ucebisa ukuba sityelele iNkunkuma yaseHissing xa sibuya kuhambo lwesibini. kwiNdlela. Iscout Harding ibeka ngokucocekileyo: esi sithuba sigcwele isithuba. Inkunkuma yile nto kanye, kodwa ngobukho bamabhodlo angcolileyo kunye neVenatori emva kwento ethile ngaphakathi kubo, kufuneka kubekho into ebalulekileyo apha. Into enokusinceda nxamnye neCorypheus.
Kuhle apha. Ndinoxolo, nkqu, kwaye umoya uvuthuza ngeendlebe zam njengoko sibaleka amahashe ngaphesheya kwentlango, ndingasilibala ngokufutshane isizathu sokuba ndilapha. Uxolo aluhlali xesha lide. Sivale imiphakathi emva kwelinye lamadabi anzima endakhe ndadibana nawo okwangoku. Ngaba ezi demon ziyafunda kwiimpazamo zomnye nomnye? Ukufunda ubuthathaka bethu? Okanye sigqibile ukudinwa? Kunzima ukuxelela.
Sithatha ixesha elifutshane elijonge umhlaba. Impempe zeBull, zithi ayisiyiyo yonke into esiyijongileyo, kodwa iBlackwall inamehlo abukhali kwaye ibona umlilo wekampu kude. Ndimvumele ukuba asikhokelele apho, ndibulele okomzuzwana kum, ngaphandle kokubukela, ukujongwa kunye nokugxekwa.
IVenatori kulula kakhulu ukuyibona kule ndawo, ngakumbi xa benendawo yomlilo. Emva kokuba sizinqumle iintloko saza sayitshisa imizimba yabo, siye sagqogqa inkampu yaseVenatori. Kuyabonakala ukuba kukho ubuncwane apha abalandelayo. Hayi ndiyabuthanda ubuncwane! Sifumana ileta kwenye yeenkampu ezithetha ngogada ongekhoyo siphume siyokuzijonga kwaye sijonge ukuba banazo na izinto ezifanelekileyo kubo. Sifumana imizimba yabo kwintlambo ezele zizigcawu ezinetyhefu kwaye konke abanako kuyo yinto encinci engenaxabiso. Intlambo ebomvu yagcwala izigcawu. Urgh. Ulusu lwam lusakhasa ngalo lonke ixesha ndicinga ngalo. Buyela eVenatori. Bajolise kwingcwaba likaFariel kunye nawo nawaphi na amanxiwa ahambelana noko akhiwe lusapho olukhulu oluluDwarven njengeendawo zokuphumla zabafileyo babo. Ndothuswa kancinci kukutsala kukaBull kwezi ndawo, ngokumangaliswa kwakhe malunga nokuba badala kangakanani. Ndonwabile nje ukuphanga kubo.
Kwenye indawo engaphandle kwesithathu kula mangcwaba, itafile entlanjeni ibamba iliso: 1) kuba iphandle kwindawo ebanzi kwaye 2) kuba andiboni mntu uyenzayo. Ndijonga ngokukhawuleza ukuthengisa kuphela ukuziva impumlo emanzi ngasemva kwesandla sam. Yinja enkulu enegazi. Undinika oku kujongeka ngathi ukubuza uyathenga okanye ubrawuza nje? Ngaba le tafile iqhutywa yinja? Ndidinga ukulala phantsi. Ndicinga ukuba nemibono.
Xa sisiya kumnyango welinye amangcwaba, eli lingumnyango omkhulu kwicala lentaba, sifumanisa ukuba iingcango zivalwe bubutyobo kunye nenkunkuma. I-Bull ithi ngokungathandabuzekiyo ukuba asingeni ngaloo ndlela. Duh. Ndiyabaxelela ukuba kungcono silandele ezinye iVenatori kwaye sibenze basixelele abakwaziyo. Inyani ilula kakhulu kodwa ayonwabisi kangako: sifumana inqaku ngaphandle nje kwalo mnyango uxelela umamkeli ukuba amakhoboka aliqela atyunyuzwe afe phantsi kwelitye, ebangela ukuba babuyele encotsheni yentaba kwaye bembe indlela yabo engcwabeni Elo cala.
Endleleni yethu apho sivale ezinye izithuba kwaye ndiyabuthanda ubuchule bam obutsha bokusebenzisa le nkemba. Kuyavunywa ukuba kuyingozi ngakumbi, kodwa akukho nto ilunge ngakumbi kunokujikisa iblade yam emzimbeni wedemon kunye nokuva eso sandi siyanelisayo. Umzingeli obizwa ngokuba nguMag ufudumeza izandla zakhe phezu komlilo ophuma kwiNkunkuma. Undixelela ngerhamncwa elidumileyo ekufuneka ndilibulele imali entle-into ayenzayo ukugcina amadoda nabafazi base-Orlais besezintweni ezintle. Ndiyamxelela ukuba ndiyakucinga ngayo, ndicinga ukuba ngekhe ndilibale ngayo, kodwa uBull unolo jonge emehlweni akhe. Imincili. Naluphi na ukulibaziseka kwaye ndiyesaba ukuba asisoze sikulungele ukujongana noCorypheus. Uyakuphumelela ngoba besidlala sijikeleza esantini.
Silahla inkampu yaseVenatori ezintabeni kwaye sifumana amangcwaba angaphaya, sithatha ubuncwane obuninzi njengoko ndinokuthwala. UBull uyaqhubeka nokuthetha ngezokwakha, nangobungcibi. Sonke simjonga ngokwahlukileyo emva kolu hambo, nangona ndiza kuba ngowokugqibela ukuyivuma. Okanye mhlawumbi iBlackwall iyakuba njalo. Ekuqaleni, uBull wayexhalabile ukuba siyaphanga, kodwa ubala ukuba kungcono kunokuba uvumele iVenatori ifumane izandla zabo ezincinci kuyo nayiphi na le nto. Umsebenzi wethu wokugqibela apha uqinisiwe xa uBull egcuma kwaye esixelela ukuba kufuneka sifumane itempile yokugqibela sithathe ubutyebi kuyo-eli ngcwaba lelona likhulu kunabo bonke, okanye ke sikhokelwe ukuba sikholwe, kwaye ngoku sinayo iziqwenga eziphambili ezivela kwamanye amangcwaba sikulungele ngakumbi kunokuba iVenatori inukayo.
Ingcwaba likaFariel, lokugqibela nelona likhulu, ikwangoyena ungafikelelekiyo. Kukuhamba ngeyure ezimbini ngenxa yempuma, uhambo olude noludinisayo, ke xa sifika kuphela ukufumana inamba igade isango ndilingeka ukuba ndibethe uBull ebusweni ngokuthetha nam kule nto. Ngombulelo, inamba ekuthethwa ngayo ngunogada ohlwempuzekileyo kwaye ulele ubuthongo. Ukurhona, nkqu. Siyachwechwa sidlule saya kwingcwaba elingaphaya. Njengokuba eli ingcwaba likaFariel, u-Dwarven Lord onamangcwaba onyana wakhe esele ndiwagqogqile, ndilindelwe ngesiqingatha se-alamu okanye imigibe ye-booby yolunye uhlobo xa sithatha ubuncwane. Kodwa akukho nto yenzekayo. Siziphosa emva kwedrako eleleyo, kwaye ndizama konke okusemandleni ukuba ndingagigitheki xa uBull evakalisa ukudana kwakhe. Wayefuna ukulwa nenamba enegazi. Angaya phambili, kodwa andiyi kuhlasela enye ngenjongo! Asibobhanxa obo!
Umthunywa uyasibulisa sibuyele enkampini. Kufuneka ndibuyele eSkyhold kwaoko. UJosephine uneendaba ezimbi kum.
Indawo yokugcina izulu
UJosephine uxhuzula ngokungxama ejikeleza eofisini kwaye akazukuhlangana nam amehlo angafaniyo naye. Andikho kwimeko yokubuza imibuzo ekhokelayo nangona kunjalo, ke ndilinde ukuva ukuba uthini. Inzala yam, iLavellan Dalish, yandise isandla esifudumeleyo kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo xa ndaba yi-Inquisitor. Bacele noncedo lwethu nanjengokuba abaphangi babebahlasela. Ndayishiya ezandleni ezinamandla zikaJosephine zahluleka ngokupheleleyo. Intsapho yam ihambile.
Andikwazi nokubona nkqo. Ndiyaphambana. Bendixakekile ndizama ukukhusela wonke umntu, ngaba ukwenza ibhidi ye-Inquisition, kwaye abakwazanga nokukhusela abantu bam? Ndixelela uCullen ukuba alungiselele amajoni. Simkile siye eAdamant Fortress ukuze ndikwazi ukukhaba kwezinye zofele.
Inqaba yaseAdamant
Icebo kukusebenzisa i-trebuchets ukubetha iindonga zeenqaba ezindala ngelixa amajoni endinqumle indlela eya kwi-Warden Commander uClarel. UJosephine noCullen basikhumbuza ukuba ezinye iiYadi zingadibana nesizathu sethu ukuba uClarel uthathiwe okanye wenziwe wabona, ke ezi kwaye zezona njongo zethu ziphambili.
Amasango enqaba awela ngokulula ngokwaneleyo nangona umlo onzima usilwa emfazweni njengoko ndingena kuAdamant. UCullen uyandicenga ukuba ndincedise amajoni kwiimfazwe, kodwa ndiyamkhumbuza oko kusemngciphekweni apha. Ukuba andifiki kuClarel kwangexesha, ukuba iiYadi zivunyelwe ngokungazi ukuphakamisa umkhosi weedemon, siyi-toast. Ndizokunceda ukuba kufanelekile kwaye nasendleleni, kodwa hayi ngaphezulu koko. La majoni ayazi ukuba yintoni umsebenzi wabo, ukuba bazokwenzani apha kwaye andizukuba ngumongikazi wabo omanzi.
Ukulwa ngeentendelezo kunye neepaseji zaseAdamant kulula ngokwaneleyo, ngakumbi xa ndicinga ukuba uClan wam ulahlekile undikhuthaza, endicaphukisa. Sidibana noHawke kwiimfazwe. Ubuza ukuba ndingathanda ukuba enze ntoni. Ndingathanda ukuba ancede ukugcina iidemon kunye neeWardens kum emqolo. Andikhathali nokuba oko kukuzingca-- Ndingu ibalulekile apha. Ukuba andifikeleli kuClarel, akukho sizathu sokuba lapha. Ileta evela kuClarel iye e-Erimond ilahlwe etafileni ecaleni kweentsika. UClarel akabonakali eqinisekile ukuba ii-Warden Mages zilungile emva kokuba beye kwisithethe. Bayabanda, abanovelwano kwaye abafani nobuntu babo bangaphambili. Ndiyazibuza ukuba ingaba oku kuthetha ukuba isithethe esikhulu siza kupheliswa.
Ngelishwa, ndinethemba kakhulu. UClarel uphakeme eqongeni elibheke entendelezweni kunye no-Erimond. Isithethe sele siqalile kwaye kujongeka ngathi sigqibile. Bekufanele ukuba ndiyazi ukuba abayikumisa. U-Erimond ukhwaza esithi masimiswe-ukuba mabaligqibe eli siko. Izitiya ziyokuzoba izixhobo zazo ngokuchasene neNkundla yokuNcina Amakholwa kodwa into ethile kum indenza ndibhekele phambili. Ndibaxelela ukuba uErimond ufuna ukugqibezela isithethe sokuzuza kukaCorypheus, akusekho. UClarel uyazi kakuhle isicwangciso sika-Erimond sokumbopha kwidemon. Uyazingca ngokwenza amadini kungekho mntu wumbi angenza njalo. Kodwa xa ndikhankanya uCorypheus ukuqiniseka kwakhe kuyasilela. Bangathini aba bantu ukuba ziimfama kangaka? Jonga eyona nto yenzekayo! UClarel ugungqisa umzuzu wokuthandabuza kwaye ayalele ukuba kugqitywe isithethe.
U-Hawke noStroud babongoza ii-Wards ukuba zingakwenzi oku, ukuze zingasibulali. Ndiye ndathula. Ndifuna ukulungela nantoni na malunga nokuyenga ngesigqubuthelo. Fuck iiYadi. I-Blackwall izama ukuthetha ngengqondo ethile kubo. Kubonakala ngathi iyasebenza kwabanye, njengoko bejika bejonga eClarel. Yena, naye, uqala ukuqonda ukuba izinto zinokungahambi kakuhle-ucebisa ukuba bajonge kwizityholo ezibekwe phambi kwabo ukunqanda ukuphalazwa kwegazi. Kodwa kubonakala ngathi u-Erimond uyilungele le meko naye. Ubiza isipho esivela eCorypheus-into endizokuyisebenzisa xa ndithe ndafika ndacela umngeni kwisithethe. Yinamba-archdemon. UClarel ujonge ngovalo njengoko esibaleka, egxadazela kwaye evuthulula imihlathi. Emva koko uhlasela-okokuqala u-Erimond, kulandele inamba. Uxelela ii-Wardens ukuba zisincede, emva koko sibaleke, mhlawumbi sigxothe u-Erimond njengoko ndingazi ukuba waphelela phi kwaye sonke siyamazi ukuba uligwala kangakanani.
Soyisa iidemon ngoncedo lwezi Zitiya zithathe isigqibo sokuzimanya nathi, emva koko zibaleke zinyuke ziye kwicala uClarel anyamalale kulo. Inamba ibonakala ngathi isisihogo xa isileqa, isiqhubela phambili. Ndiyazibuza ukuba ingaba yonke le nto ingumgibe na, kodwa emva koko ndijikeleza ikona ukuze ndibambe uClarel eqhumisa u-Erimond emqolo.
Umxelela ukuba ngewayekhonze uthixo omtsha. UClarel akasokuze akhonze ulwaphulo-mthetho, okanye nabani na ofana noCorypheus obonakalisayo. Unomsindo kakhulu ngaye, ugoba amazinyo njengoko esiya kuye. Kubonakala ngathi ngumzuzwana wesitrayikhi soloyiso kwaye sonke masigoduke, kodwa emva koko inamba iphinde ivele, iqhume imihlathi yayo ejikeleze umzimba kaClarel kwaye imphose emgangathweni. Iqala kuthi, kwaye sibuyele umva siye kwiindawo ezaphukileyo zoluhlu oluvulekileyo kwithontsi elinzima kakhulu.
Ukufa ngokuwa okanye ngokutyiwa uphila? Andiqinisekanga ngenene ukuba loluphi ukhetho olungcono. Ngombulelo uClarel ukhupha amandla amakhulu njengoko inamba inyathela phezu kwakhe. Iwa phantsi njengokuwa kwendlu, umfutho wokuwa kwayo uyityhalela phantsi. Isilayidi isiya kuthi kwaye kufuneka siphume endleleni, siyivumele ukuba iwe kwinqaba, kodwa ke iinqaba ziyawa phantsi kwethu. Sizama ukubalekela ukhuseleko, kodwa ngequbuliso ndiyawa—
