你迟到了，后裔
A man with a dignified smile was looking in our direction. I called out to him in happiness.
一个面带庄严微笑的男人正朝我们这个方向看着，我高兴地向他喊道。
"Goryeo's First Sword!"
“高丽的第一把剑!”
He was none other than Cheok Jun-Gyeong, the one we had to say goodbye to during the 'Middle Island' scenario.
他不是别人正是CheokJun-Gyeong，在“中岛”的情节中，我们不得不和他说再见。
As expected of a Constellation who had reached the Fable-grade, it seemed that he advanced to the main island without any issues.
不出所料，这个星座的人已经达到了寓言级，他似乎毫无问题地向大岛前进。
[You must've completed quite a substantial scenario. You've gained more companions.]
[你一定已经完成了一个相当实质性的场景。你得到了更多的同伴。]
His gaze was now studying the Reincarnators emerging from the portal alongside us. They were people from 'Kaixenix Archipelago', entering the main island with me.
他的目光现在正盯着我们身边从传送门出来的转世。他们是来自凯塞尼克斯群岛的人，和我一起进入主岛。
"They are folks who'll participate in the 'Great War of Saints and Demons' with us."
“他们是和我们一起参加‘圣恶大战’的人。”
Cheok Jun-Gyeong nodded his head.
CheokJun-Gyeong点头。
[Higher number of combat forces can certainly help. More importantly, however…. Something seems to have changed with you, Descendant.]
[更多的战斗部队当然有帮助。但是，更重要的是......你似乎变了，后裔。]
He scanned me from top to bottom as if he was searching for something.
他把我从上到下打量了一番，好像在找什么东西似的。
[I can sense this vague depth to your group's Fable.]
[我能感觉到你们小组的寓言中这种模糊的深度]
"….Is that so?"
“是吗?”
Cheok Jun-Gyeong's gaze left me and headed towards Han Su-Yeong. She met his stare with a pair of impetuous eyes that said, "What are you looking at?"
CheokJun-Gyeong的目光离开了我，向HanSu-Yeong走去。她用一双浮躁的眼睛看着他，问道:“你在看什么?”
A strange light flickered within the former's eyes.
一道奇怪的光在前者的眼睛里闪烁。
[….I see.]
我明白了
I abruptly recalled what the 'Guardian of Mandala' told me.
我突然想起‘曼荼罗守护者’告诉我的。
- Oh, dear Bodhisattva. Please, try to endure time itself.
亲爱的菩萨，请你忍耐一下时间吧。
Our Nebula's Fables had experienced an unknown change after clearing the Kaixenix Archipelago.
我们星云的寓言经历了一个未知的变化后，清除了凯森尼克斯群岛。
The time Yi Hyeon-Seong, Jeong Hui-Won and especially Han Su-Yeong, spent in Kaixenix was definitely not in vain. Everything that happened was recorded as Fables, and they would raise our Statuses in turn.
李贤成、郑惠媛，尤其是韩素妍，在Kaixenix度过的时光绝对不是徒劳的。所有发生的事情都被记录为寓言，他们会轮流提高我们的地位。
It might have been due to what Cheok Jun-Gyeong said, but well, I could sense Constellations spying on us from behind, staring far more openly than before.
这可能是因为CheokJun-Gyeong说了什么，但是，我可以感觉到星座从背后监视我们，比以前更公开地盯着我们。
[Constellation, 'Expert at Playing Both Sides', is getting interested in you.] [Constellation, 'King of Archers', is observing you in great interest.] [Constellation, 'Three Mouths But Only One Head', is sneering at the Reincarnators from 'Kaixenix Archipelago'.]
[Constellation，‘双面游戏专家’，正在对你产生兴趣。][星座，‘弓箭手之王’，正饶有兴趣地观察着你。][《星座》，《三口只一头》，嘲笑来自《凯赛尼克群岛》的转世。]
Reincarnators from the archipelago retreated from the feast of Statuses. Now that they have emerged outside the 'Kaixenix Archipelago', they were no longer protected by their worldview.
来自群岛的转世者撤离了国宴。现在他们已经走出了凯森尼克斯群岛，他们不再受到他们世界观的保护。
[Constellation, 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon', is growling!]
[星座，‘深不可测的黑火龙’在咆哮!]
It was Han Su-Yeong who stepped forward as if to shield these Reincarnators. The atmosphere wiggled and the aura of the Black Flame Dragon manifested itself behind her. The folks from Kaixenix bowed their heads to pay their respect to her, then.
韩素英走上前来，好像要保护这些转世。气氛摇摆不定，黑火龙的光环在她身后显现出来。来自Kaixenix的人们低下头向她表示敬意。
Indeed, that must be what they refer to as the kingly air.
事实上，这就是他们所说的国王气派。
Unfortunately, some Constellations didn't seem to like her display. It didn't take long for their aura to become threatening.
不幸的是，一些星座似乎并不喜欢她的表现，它们的光环很快就变得具有威胁性。
Ku-gugugugu!
咕咕咕咕！
[An Incarnation from a small Nebula dares to….!]
[一个来自小星云的化身敢于...!]
Feeling a bit annoyed now, I decided that I should stop the current flow right about here.
现在感觉有点恼火，我决定我应该在这里停止当前的流动。
[Great Fable, 'Torch that Swallowed the Myth', is glaring at the Constellations!]
[伟大的寓言《吞噬神话的火炬》正在怒视着星座!]
The activation of the Great Fable managed to startle the Constellations and they took several steps back.
伟大寓言的激活设法惊吓了星座，他们后退了几步。
I didn't miss that opportunity and asked Cheok Jun-Gyeong a question. "Enough about that. Why have you been waiting for us?"
我没有错过这个机会，问了CheokJun-Gyeong一个问题。“够了。你为什么一直在等我们?”
He formed a slightly troubled expression. The light in his eyes flickered as he tried to decide whether it'd be okay to say it or not.
他表情有点不安。当他试图决定是否可以说出来的时候，他的眼睛里闪烁着光芒。
I could think up a couple of hypotheses just then, and chose to test one of them out. "I know that this is the neutral zone. Have you decided on which camp of the Great War to join yet?"
我可以想出几个假设，然后选择测试其中的一个。“我知道这是中立地带。你决定参加第一次世界大战的哪个阵营了吗?”
[No, not yet.]
不，还没有
….I see. He still hadn't chosen his side.
我明白了，他还没有选择自己的立场。
Cheok Jun-Gyeong continued on.
CheokJun-Gyeong继续。
[As you may well know, 'Good' and 'Evil' of the Constellations aren't the same with that of the mortals. If I'm allowed to be honest, then I do not wish to be a part of either camp.]
正如你所知道的，星座的“善”和“恶”与凡人的“善”和“恶”是不一样的。如果允许我说实话，那么我不想成为这两个阵营的一员
Cheok Jun-Gyeong, starting as a mortal and reaching the ranks of Constellation through his own power only, like me, wouldn't have agreed to the concept of good and evil as claimed by the Archangels and Demon Kings. That was why I could sympathise with his dilemma.
CheokJun-Gyeong从一个凡人开始，只有通过他自己的力量才能达到星座的等级，就像我一样，他不会同意大天使和魔王所宣称的善与恶的概念。这就是为什么我能同情他的困境。
However, that story would always be his to mull over, no one else's.
然而，那个故事永远是他的，不是别人的。
I glanced at the Constellations behind him and asked. "They haven't chosen their sides, I presume?"
我瞥了一眼他身后的星座，问道:“我猜他们还没有选好自己的位置吧?”
Cheok Jun-Gyeong nodded his head.
CheokJun-Gyeong点头。
Behind him, scattered groups of Constellations could be seen loitering around tents set up here and there on a huge open plain.
在他的身后，可以看到零散的星座群在广阔的平原上到处搭建的帐篷周围游荡。
[What is the current war situation like?]
[目前的战争形势如何?]
[From what I was able to find, it….]
[据我所知，它......]
Faint 'true voices' could be heard coming from them.
微弱的真实的声音可以从他们那里听到。
I smirked inwardly; in all honesty, it was easy to see what they were thinking of by not having chosen a camp yet.
我暗自得意地笑了笑，说实话，他们还没有选择阵营，很容易看出他们在想什么。
Constellations in the neutral zone were planning to stay back and observe the proceedings, and then join the side with the advantageous position and enter the Great War.
位于中立区的星座计划留下来观察战争进程，然后加入占有优势地位的一方，参加第一次世界大战。
Yu Jung-Hyeok and Han Su-Yeong engaged [Midday Tryst] at the same time to talk to me.
于重赫和韩素英同时约好了[中午幽会]跟我说话。
- I can tell what the current situation is like.
我能看出现在的情况。
- These bastards, they are going for 'that', right?
-这些混蛋，他们要’那’，对不对？
I nodded my head.
我点了点头。
The stronger the 'neutral' camp that hadn't chosen a side grew in power, the potential benefits to be gained when it did choose would be even greater.
没有选择阵营的中立阵营势力越强大，选择阵营的潜在好处就越大。
[Constellation, 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband', is looking down on the Constellations of the neutral zone.] [Constellation, 'Hell's Scribe', is letting others know that the hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who maintain neutrality in times of moral crisis…..]
[星座，“金色头巾的囚徒”，正在俯视中立区的星座。][星座，‘地狱的抄写员’，是让其他人知道，地狱中最热的地方是留给那些在道德危机时期保持中立的人......]
Didn't matter whether it was 'Good' or 'Evil', they were thinking of selling their influence to the highest bidder out there.
不管是好是坏，他们都在考虑把自己的影响力卖给出价最高的人。
Han Su-Yeong broke out in a smirk.
韩素英突然笑了起来。
- Their aim is so easy to see through.
他们的目标很容易看穿。
It was right about then that Cheok Jun-Gyeong ended his deliberation and opened his lips. [There is someone who wishes to meet you.]
就在这时，CheokJun-Gyeong结束了他的沉思，张开了嘴。有人想见你
"Who is it?"
“是谁?”
[A high-ranking Constellation from the Nebula, <Hongik>.]
[来自hongik星云的高等级星座]
Thought as much.
我也这么想。
It seemed that Cheok Jun-Gyeong was here to win us over.
看来CheokJun-Gyeong是来赢得我们的支持的。
I hid this faint sense of disappointment and asked him again. "But, didn't you tell me that high-ranking Constellations of <Hongik> have all disappeared?"
我隐藏着这种微弱的失望感，又问了他一遍。“可是，你不是告诉我，本溪的高级星座都消失了吗?”
Indeed, I heard something like that a long time ago. Once, at the 'Constellation Banquet', and when facing 'Founder's Mother' back inside the [Dark Castle].
事实上，我很久以前就听说过这样的事情。有一次，在“星座宴会”上，当面对着“方正的母亲”回到[黑暗城堡]时。
[We did not disappear. Because, there is one right in front of you.]
[我们没有消失。因为，有一个就在你们面前。]
It was a true voice containing aloof, proud Status; the ranks of the Constellation parted, and a Taoist hermit holding a pure-white folded fan was walking towards us. From each of his steps, I felt the power of vigorous winds.
这是一个真实的声音，包含着冷漠、骄傲的地位;星座的队伍分开了，一个道士拿着一把纯白的折扇朝我们走来。从他的每一步，我都能感觉到狂风的力量。
…..Hey, I think I know who this is.
我想我知道这是谁了。
[Kneel and pay your respects, oh, descendants of the Peninsula.] <Episode 73: The hottest place in Hell (1) > Fin.
[跪下来表达你们的敬意，哦，半岛的后裔们]第73集:地狱里最热的地方。
