(迷惑?)
加百列冰封般的声音响起,她终于抬起了目光,那双冰蓝色的眼眸,如同两枚绝对零度的星辰,直视着梅塔特隆那无法直视的光辉核心。
“What I see is not the prelude to redetiht by the truets, but the erasure of will and the sowing of dness.”
(我所见的,是号角带来的并非救赎的序曲,而是意志的抹杀与疯狂的播种。)
“I see the plague not as a purifying fire to burn away sin, but as a distortion and violation of the soul itself.”
(是‘瘟疫’并非涤荡罪恶的净火,而是对灵魂本身的扭曲与践踏。)
“I see an unjust killing in the na of divine wrath against a king who bore his people’s burden and fulfilled his duty.”
(是对一位背负其民、行使其责的君王,以‘神怒’为名,行不义诛杀之举。)
“Scribe, you speak endlessly of sing and preparing the way, yet what you do see re like gathering pain, trating despair, and nourishing sothing with it.”
(书记官,你口口声声‘清洗’、‘预备道路’,但你所行的,更像是在…收集痛苦,汇聚绝望,并以此…滋养某种东西。)
“Gabriel…”
(加百列…)
梅塔特隆的声音,这一次,真正地、彻底地冷了下来,不再有丝毫“悲悯”的掩饰,只剩下纯粹的、理性的、不容置疑的权威,以及一丝被触及逆鳞般的冰冷怒意。
“You hold the truet; you ought to dis right fr and uphold your duty of proclation.”
(你持握号角,当明辨是非,恪守宣告之责。)
“Not here to fathothe steries of the Most High and authority with rtal etions and false judgnts. Your words border on rebellion.”
(而非在此,以凡俗的情感与谬见,揣测至高者的奥秘与我的权柄。你的话语,已近叛逆。)
“叛逆”这个词,如同最沉重的枷锁,被抛了出来。天堂之内,质疑神之颜代理人的判断与权威,与质疑至高者的旨意,界限有时极为模糊。梅塔特隆此刻抛出这个词,既是警告,也是划下界限。
气氛,瞬间紧绷到了极致。加百列的冰寒,米迦勒的炽怒,与梅塔特隆那绝对的、冰冷的权威光辉,在庭院中无声地对撞、挤压。
一直沉默旁观的拉斐尔,眉头皱得更紧了。他那温暖调和的光辉,试图在这冰与火、理性与质疑的剧烈冲突中,维持一丝脆弱的平衡。他看看面色冰冷、手持号角、寸步不让的加百列,看看光焰升腾、怒意勃发的米迦勒,又看看那光辉绝对、权威无双、却隐隐透出一丝令人不安“绝对性”的梅塔特隆。
他张了张嘴,似乎想说什么调和的话语,但最终,他只是轻轻叹了口气,那叹息声在这紧绷的寂静中,显得异常清晰。
然后,他像是忽然想起了什么无关紧要的事情,用一种与当前气氛格格不入的、带着些许困惑与好奇的、温和语气,轻声问道:
“Speaking of which…”
(说起来…)
他的目光,似乎无意地扫过水镜中基路尔身影最后消失的位置,又看向梅塔特隆,最后转向加百列和米迦勒,仿佛真的只是在询问一个缺席的同僚去向。
“…where has Kerul gone?”
(…「基路尔」去哪了?)
“He seed a little agitated down there earlier. Things are a bit chaotiow. Should he not join the discussion?”
(刚才在下面,他好像…有点激动。现在事情好像…有点乱。他…不用
