‘曼荼罗的守护者’既不站在‘善’一边，也不站在‘邪恶’一边。如果我用文字来描述它，那么他就是一个更接近于虚无的存在。所以，这样一个存在是不可能欢迎善与恶的权威在他的领地里变得更大的。
“I’ll try to stop the ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’.”
“我会努力阻止《圣恶大战》(GreatWarofSaintsandDemons)。”
[Do you believe such a thing is achievable with your power?]
[你相信用你的力量可以实现这样的目标吗?]
My Fables replied in place of me.
我的寓言代替我回答。
[Great Fable, ‘Demon World’s Spring’, is bellowing out!] [Giant Fable, ‘Torch that Swallowed the Myth’, is growling menacingly!]
[伟大的寓言《恶魔世界的春天》正在咆哮!][巨型寓言《吞噬神话的火炬》正在威胁性地咆哮!]
The air in the surroundings began trembling unstably as the two Great Fables revved their engines.
当这两个伟大的寓言启动它们的发动机时，周围的空气开始不稳定地颤动。
If my guess was correct, then the ‘Guardian of Mandala’ wouldn’t be able to reject my offer. Because, he couldn’t take part in the upcoming ‘Great War of Saints and Demons’, that’s why.
如果我的猜测是正确的，那么‘曼荼罗守护者’就不能拒绝我的提议。因为，他不能参加即将到来的圣恶大战，这就是为什么。
As a being who was neither ‘Good’ nor ‘Evil’, he had no pretext to enter the war, you see.
作为一个既非善也非恶的人，你看，他没有借口参加战争。
[….Is the Incarnation named ‘Yu Sang-Ah’ becoming this self’s ‘Arahat’ your only wish, dear Bodhisattva?]
[...亲爱的菩萨，道成肉身的‘余桑娥’成为这个自我的‘阿拉哈特’是你唯一的愿望吗?]
“One other thing.”
“还有一件事。”
[You are a greedy Bodhisattva, it seems.]
[你似乎是一个贪婪的菩萨。]
“Allow my Nebula to start the Great War from the area we prefer. As the master of the island, I believe that you can interfere with the proceedings at least that much.”
“允许我的星云从我们喜欢的地方发动一场大战。作为这个岛的主人，我相信你至少可以干涉这个程序。”
At that moment, I sensed the quickening of the faint magical energy from throughout the entire temple. It was a riot of Status, as if to make its existence known to me. It was a Status possessing a certain aura that wasn’t at all threatening or murderous, but nevertheless, something that I couldn’t even hope to come close to yet.
就在那一刻，我感觉到整个庙宇中微弱的魔法能量正在加速。这是一场地位的暴动，好像是要让我知道它的存在。这是一种具有某种光环的地位，一点也不具有威胁性或杀伤力，但尽管如此，我甚至还不希望接近这种地位。
[‘The 4th Wall’ is strongly activating!]
[“第四道墙”强烈地激活了!]
[‘Wall that Decides Samsara’ is smacking its lips.]
[“决定轮回的墙”正在咂嘴。]
A short while later, the ‘Guardian of Mandala’ nodded his head.
过了一会儿，‘曼荼罗的守护者’点了点头。
[I agree to your conditions, dear Bodhisattva. Unfortunately, it’s not possible for the whole of your Nebula to start from your preferred area on the Main Island.] “In that case, I ask of you to send Incarnations Yi Gil-Yeong and Shin Yu-Seung at the least.”
我同意你的条件，亲爱的菩萨。不幸的是，整个星云不可能从你偏爱的主岛区域开始。]“这样的话，我请求你们至少派出伊吉英和申玉升。”
[H-mm…. Where do you wish to send them?]
你想把它们送到哪里去
“The Next City.”
“下一个城市。”
[The Next City, is it…. Oh my, dear Bodhisattva, could it be…..]
[下一个城市，是......哦，我亲爱的菩萨，会不会是......]
If it was the ‘Guardian of Mandala’, he should have cottoned onto what I was planning here by now.
如果是‘曼荼罗的守护者’，他现在应该已经明白我在这里的计划了。
The Main Island of the ‘Isle of Reincarnators’ was where the Fables from the 3rd generation had been stuck frozen in time. As these Fables boasted a far wider spectrum of variety compared to 1st and 2nd generations, your starting point played a factor in you acquiring unexpected Fables.
“转世岛”的主岛是第三代寓言故事被时间冻结的地方。正如这些寓言夸耀一个更广泛的多样性比第一和第二代，你的出发点起了一个因素，你获得意想不到的寓言。
Even if others couldn’t, I had to ensure that those two kids would start from the ‘Next City’.
即使其他人不能，我也必须确保这两个孩子将从下一个城市开始。
[….In return, the rest of your companions will start in locations that this self has selected.]
[...作为回报，你的其他同伴将从你自己选择的地方开始。]
“Understood.”
“明白。”
Han Su-Yeong standing next to me, silently observing the unfolding situation until then, sent me a probing glance after hearing my reply.
韩素英站在我旁边，默默地观察着事态的发展，听了我的回答，给了我一个探究的目光。
– Hey, you. What will you do if this baldy monk sends us to a weird place?
嘿，你，如果这个光头和尚把我们送到一个奇怪的地方，你会怎么做？
The Warrior Monk saw us get into a bit of argument and a strange smile suddenly crept up on his lips. [Dear Bodhisattva, this self truly enjoys watching your story, but…. Unfortunately, the Fables you have accumulated so far is simply too inadequate to contend with other Nebulas participating in the Great War of Saints and Demons.]
武僧看见我们吵了起来，嘴角突然露出一丝奇怪的微笑。亲爱的菩萨，这个自我真的很喜欢看你的故事，但是..。不幸的是，到目前为止，你所收集的寓言故事远远不足以与参与圣魔大战的其他星云相抗衡
Maybe she felt a bit triggered by the word ‘inadequate’, Han Su-Yeong began to retort in a snarky manner. “….Looks like you haven’t heard the news that we smashed apart <Olympus> not too long ago.”
韩素妍也许觉得“不够格”这个词有点触动了她，开始以一种讽刺的方式反驳道。“......看来你还没听说不久前我们把奥林巴斯山拆了的消息。”
[The Fables dear Bodhisattvas have accumulated are indeed peerless, but they haven’t experienced the trials and tribulations of time itself.]
[亲爱的菩萨积累的寓言确实是无与伦比的，但是他们没有经历过时间本身的考验和磨难。]
In the next moment, both Han Su-Yeong’s body and mine were suddenly wrapped up in bright light.
转眼间，我和韩素妍的身体突然被强烈的光线包裹起来。
[Constellation, ‘Guardian of Mandala’ has agreed with your transfer to the next scenario.]
[星座，‘曼荼罗守护者’已经同意你转移到下一个场景。]
[Transfer to the next scenario has begun!]
[转移到下一个场景已经开始!]
….So suddenly?
这么突然？
I was taken by surprise a little, but quickly regained my bearings.
我有点吃惊，但很快就恢复了正常。
Finally, I was heading towards the location of the third Great Fable that’d complete the ‘climax’.
最后，我朝着第三部伟大寓言的所在地走去，那里完成了高潮。
Most likely, my other companions were in the middle of transferring, just like me. I shifted my head to find Han Su-Yeong looking up at me.
很有可能，我的其他同伴也和我一样，正在转移中。我转过头，看到韩素英正抬头看着我。
“Kim Dok-Ja.”
“金道子。”
I reflexively extended my hand towards her and replied. “Do your best. I’ll try to find you as soon as possible.”
我条件反射地向她伸出手，回答道。“尽力而为吧。我会尽快找到你的。”
“….Yeah, right.”
“...是的，没错。”
The moment Han Su-Yeong’s fist bumped into mine, she was completely enveloped in bright light. As I watched her figure disappear, I became aware once more that she had become my comrade for real.
韩素英的拳头一碰到我的拳头，就完全笼罩在明亮的光线里。当我看着她的身影消失时，我又一次意识到她真的成了我的同志。
Like back when Yu Joong-Hyeok said it, Han Su-Yeong had become an indispensable existence for me to reach my desired conclusion.
就像当余重赫说这句话的时候，韩素妍已经成为一个不可或缺的存在，让我得到我想要的结论。
On my way to this place, I ended up owing her a lot. So, it was time that I pay my debt.
在我来这里的路上，我欠了她很多。所以，现在是我还债的时候了。
⸢However, Kim Dok-Ja of then had no idea.⸥
然而，金道子当时并不知道
It was also in that very moment that the screen of my phone began glowing brightly, as well. Words from a page I didn’t recognise began rising up line after line in front of my eyes as if to foreshadow an ominous future.
就在那一刻，我的手机屏幕也开始发出明亮的光芒。从一页纸上我不认识的文字开始在我眼前一行接一行地冒出来，仿佛预示着不祥的未来。
⸢He didn’t know that, by the time Kim Dok-Ja got to meet her again….⸥
他不知道，当金道子再次见到她的时候..
No, hang on a minute here.
不，等一下。
⸢50 years had passed by already.⸥
50年已经过去了
…..What the hell?!
搞什么鬼！
