埃克斯的事，虽然可能有蹊跷，但终归没有实据，而且这件事如何处理，也不是他们现在需要拿主意的。
Although there may be something strange about Akers’ matter, there is no real evidence after all, and how to deal with this matter is not what they need to decide now.
最简单的方法，便是将事情告诉黑伯爵,之后他们就不用管了。
The easiest way is to tell Earl Hei about the matter, and then they will leave it alone.
而黑伯爵，如无意外，此时应该已经跟着必洛斯家族的人回来了。
As for Earl Hei, if there is no accident, he should have returned with the members of the Biros family by this time.
不过，是不是在斗技场，这就不知道了。
However, I don’t know if it is in the arena.
众人继续朝着斗技场前行，以他们的速度,本来应该很快就抵达斗技场。不过，在出了商业区后,他们遇到了一片倒塌的枯树林。
The crowd continued to move towards the arena. With their speed, they should have arrived at the arena soon. However, after leaving the business district, they encountered a collapsed dry forest.
这片枯树林并不仅仅是枯树，它还有树屋的功能。隶属于必洛斯家族的树屋行旅店，但专营的对象是初阶学徒以及普通人。所以，这里的防护并不算太强，至少抵御地震的能力要比商业区弱数倍。
This dead forest is not just dead trees, it also has the function of a tree house. It is a tree house hotel belonging to the Bilos family, but it specializes in junior apprentices and ordinary people. Therefore, the protection here is not too strong, at least the ability to resist earthquakes is several times weaker than that of the commercial area.
这也就导致了，浅海力士从商业区走的时候，震动并没有导致商业区的建筑受损，但从这里走，哪怕没有踩到这些枯树树屋，可通过大地的震荡，还是让这里不少的树屋倒塌。
This also led to the fact that when Qianhai Lishi walked from the commercial area, the vibration did not cause damage to the buildings in the commercial area, but from here, even if you did not step on these dead tree houses, you can pass through the shock of the ground, Still let a lot of tree houses here collapse.
于是，这里成了继公会区外，第二个受灾区。
Thus, this became the second disaster-stricken area after the guild area.
他们一路上看到了很多人被倒塌的树屋压着，不仅有普通人，还有不少的学徒都无法脱困。
Along the way, they saw many people being crushed by collapsed tree houses. Not only ordinary people, but also many apprentices could not escape.
也因为要救这些人，他们的速度被迫降了下来。
Because of saving these people, their speed was forced to drop.
等到确认所有人都已救出，安格尔等人才离开枯树林。这也是为何半分钟的路程，被他们足足拉长到一刻钟的原因。
Only after it was confirmed that everyone had been rescued did Angel and the others leave the dead forest. This is why the half-minute journey was stretched to a quarter of an hour by them.
“没想到你还会去救人？”从枯树林出来后,多克斯低声嘀咕道。
“Didn’t expect you to save people?” Doakes muttered in a low voice after coming out of the dead forest.
安格尔：“能救为什么不救呢？”
Angel: “If you can save it, why not?”
多克斯：“我也没说不救，只是，我们在救人的时候，你也听到了，斗技场那边声音不断，那边肯定也有需要救的人，我们其实可以过去那边再救……”
Doakes: “I didn’t say no, it’s just that when we were saving people, you heard that there were constant voices in the arena, and there must be people who need to be saved there. We can actually go there Help over there…”
多克斯的话，明显是有逻辑问题的。不过，多克斯的确就是这样想的。对他而言，救人从来不是重点，重点是要赶在那只浅海力士被打死前，去打秋风。
There is obviously a logical problem in what Doakes said. But that’s exactly what Doakes thought. For him, saving people has never been the focus, the focus is to fight the autumn wind before the shallow sea wrestler is killed.
安格尔：“看到了就救，看不到的我也没办法。”
Angel: “If you see it, save it. If you can’t see it, I can’t help it.”
而且，斗技场那边的基本都是超凡者，纵使受灾也有办法逃脱。但这片枯树林，普通人居多，他们可没办法自救。
Moreover, the people on the arena are basically superhumans, and even if they are hit by a disaster, they can escape. But this dry forest is mostly ordinary people, and they can’t save themselves.
“更何况，救了斗技场的人，这里的人就能不死吗？救人不是刻板的商业行为，救人也不需要理由。”
“What’s more, if the people in the arena are saved, can the people here not die? Saving people is not a rigid business behavior, and saving people doesn’t need a reason.”
这也是在乔恩教导下,安格尔建立起来的道德观。
This is also the moral outlook established by Angel under the guidance of Jon.
杀人或许需要借口，但救人何须理由。
Maybe an excuse is needed to kill someone, but there is no reason to save someone.
他想救，那就救了。
If he wants to save, then he will.
至于说浪费时间？他们又不是必洛斯家族的人，也不是接了主线任务要讨伐魔物的勇者，去斗技场又不是要做什么，能浪费什么时间？
As for wasting time? They are not members of the Biros family, nor are they brave men who have accepted the main mission to crusade against monsters. They are not doing anything in the arena, so what time can they waste?
安格尔一脸理所当然，但多克斯就有些郁闷了，因为……斗技场的动静已经停了，而且停了有五分钟了。
Angel took it for granted, but Doakes was a little depressed because…the movement of the arena had stopped, and it had stopped for five minutes.
这意味着，那边要么已经破坏殆尽，要么就是局势被控制住了。
This means that either the destruction over there is complete, or the situation is under control.
无论是哪种情况，想去打秋风占便宜，都很难了。
No matter what the situation is, it is very difficult to take advantage of the autumn wind.
不过，多克斯虽然有些郁闷，但他也只是嘴上发点牢骚，对于安格尔停下救人的行为他的内心是认同的。
However, although Doakes was a little depressed, he only complained a little bit, and he agreed in his heart that Angel stopped saving people.
不是认同这种价值观，而是觉得，自己未来跟着安格尔这样的白巫师，起码他能放心自己的安全——安格尔连陌生人都救，对他这个“好朋友”肯定会更好，是吧？
It’s not that I agree with this kind of value, but I feel that if I follow a white wizard like Angel in the future, at least he can rest assured of his own safety–Angel even saves strangers, and he is sure of his “good friend” It’s better, right?
安格尔并不知道多克斯的花花心肠，他此时却是在做另一件事。
Angel didn’t know about Doakes’s flamboyance, but he was doing another thing right now.
联系速灵。
Contact Suling.
……
…
此前，速灵将自己分化为一缕缕微风，就是为了寻找卡艾尔。如今卡艾尔既然找到了，那分化出去的微风自然也该回来了。
Before, Su Ling divided himself into strands of breeze just to find Kael. Now that Kael has been found, the Breeze that split out should naturally come back.
从离开议事院后，安格尔就在呼唤速灵。
Ever since he left the council, Angel has been calling for Su Ling.
一路上，安格尔也收容了不少速灵分化的微风，但承载速灵本体意识的微风却还没有回来。
Along the way, Angel also took in a lot of Breeze, which was split by the speed spirit, but the breeze carrying the consciousness of the speed spirit has not yet returned.
直到他们从枯树林出来后，速灵本体意识才逐渐回归。
It wasn’t until they came out of the dead forest that the consciousness of Su Ling’s body gradually returned.
安格尔原本还以为速灵分化出的微风可能遭受到了攻击，如今见速灵本体回来，也算是松了一口气。
Angel originally thought that the Breeze that Suling had differentiated might have been attacked, but now that the main body of Suling came back, he was relieved.
不过，速灵本体为何迟迟不归，也引起了众人的好奇。
However, why the Suling body has not returned for a long time has also aroused everyone’s curiosity.
经过安格尔的询问，他从速灵口中得到了一个情报。
After Angor’s inquiry, he got a piece of information from Su Ling.
速灵为了寻找卡艾尔，分化了上百道微风，去往整個比伦树庭。而在寻找卡艾尔的过程中，速灵发现自己分化出来的几缕风突然消失了。
In order to find Kael, Su Ling divided hundreds of breezes and went to the entire Bilon Grove. In the process of searching for Kael, Su Ling found that the few winds he had differentiated suddenly disappeared.
速灵以为它们闯到了某个禁地，或者被人抓到了，为了避免分化出的风出事，它第一时间就赶去了风消失的地方。
Speed Spirit thought they had broken into a certain forbidden area, or were caught by someone. In order to avoid accidents with the differentiated wind, it immediately rushed to the place where the wind disappeared.
结果发现，不是那几缕风消失了，而是它们被一种能量屏障给遮蔽住了。
It turned out that it wasn’t that the wisps of wind disappeared, but that they were blocked by an energy barrier.
而这个拥有能量屏障的地方，并不是什么禁地，也不是私人场所，而是……乐土。
And this place with an energy barrier is not a forbidden place, nor is it a private place, but… a paradise.
乐土，是极乐馆下辖的一片露天场地。
The Paradise is an open-air venue under the jurisdiction of the Bliss Hall.
乐土之中，并没有极乐馆里的各种黑暗场景，它如“其名”，是一片极乐之土，或者说是一片修行之所。
In the Paradise, there are no dark scenes in the Bliss Pavilion. It is just like its “name”, it is a land of bliss, or a place of practice.
在乐土之中，有大量不同元素的环境，譬如说风洞、熔岩湖、火山、冰穴、毒沼泽、重力场……这都是极乐馆花费无数资源给打造出来的，专门给不同元素的巫师提供最适合的修行场地。
In the Paradise, there are a lot of environments with different elements, such as wind tunnels, lava lakes, volcanoes, ice caves, poisonous swamps, gravity fields… These are all created by the Elysium Hall with countless resources, specially for Wizards of different elements provide the most suitable training grounds.
乐土占据的面积可不小，但那里的人，却并不多。
The paradise occupies a large area, but there are not many people there.
因为消费极高，收效却不算大，一般也只有不差钱的正式巫师能消费得起。
Because the consumption is extremely high, but the effect is not great, generally only official wizards who are not short of money can afford it.
听到速灵说，分化出来的微风被禁锢在了乐土里，一直旁听的多克斯下意识的问道：“莫非是闯到乐土的特殊区域里了？”
Hearing Su Ling said that the split Breeze was imprisoned in the Paradise, and Doakes, who had been listening, asked subconsciously: “Could it be that he broke into a special area of the Paradise?”
乐土本身没有禁制，只有那些元素环境，也就是特殊区域有禁制。在多克斯想来，速灵的微风会不会是不小心进入了禁制内，结果被人发现，然后关闭了禁制，想要瓮中捉鳖。
There are no restrictions on the paradise itself, only those elemental environments, that is, special areas. Doakes wondered if Suling’s Breeze accidentally entered the restriction, was discovered by someone, and then closed the restriction, trying to catch the turtle in the urn.
但速灵否认了这一点。
But Su Ling denied this.
并不是乐土的特殊区域关押了微风，而是整个乐土都被笼罩在了一片能量场域里。并且，这个能量场域既不能进，也不能出。
It’s not that a special area of Paradise imprisoned Breeze, but the entire Paradise was shrouded in an energy field. Also, this energy field can neither enter nor exit.
哪怕速灵本体来到了乐土附近，都没有找到进去的办法。
Even if the main body of Suling came to the vicinity of the paradise, there was no way to get in.
“整个乐土都被能量场域给封锁了？”多克斯愣了一下：“难道说，是极乐馆为了保护乐土不受袭击？”
“The whole Paradise is blocked by the energy field?” Doakes was stunned for a moment: “Could it be that the Bliss Pavilion is protecting the Paradise from attack?”
多克斯的猜测，再次被速灵给否定了。
Dox’s guess was once again denied by Su Ling.
乐土的能量场域，是有人特意布置在那里的，似乎是为了限制某些人的行动。
The energy field of the Paradise was deliberately arranged there, as if to restrict the actions of certain people.
速灵之所以这么说，是因为它使用了能力“风声”。
The reason why Suling said this is because it used the ability “wind sound”.
风声，是一种风元素的专有能力，风系巫师也能领悟，算是一种2级戏法。能通过盘旋在附近的风，来查探短期内周围发生过的事。
The sound of the wind is a special ability of the wind element, which can also be comprehended by wind wizards. It can be regarded as a level 2 trick. Through the wind hovering nearby, it is possible to detect what happened in the surrounding area in a short period of time.
不过这里所谓的“查探”，并不是用肉眼去看，而是用耳朵“听”。
However, the so-called “investigation” here is not to see with the naked eye, but to “listen” with the ears.
它的原理据说是来自“回声”，如果没有特殊的道具配合，能听到的只有两分钟内的声音。
Its principle is said to come from “echo”, if there is no special props to cooperate, only the sound within two minutes can be heard.
速灵就是通过风声之术，听到了两分钟左右的所有声响。而这，也恰好是它分化的那些微风消失前的时间段。
Suling heard all the sounds for about two minutes through the technique of wind sound. And this, too, happens to be the time period before those breezes of its differentiation die down.
而速灵听到的声音，是一道不知是男是女的声音，它的声音尖锐而惊悚，徘徊在乐土的上空。
The voice that Su Ling heard was a voice that I don’t know whether it was a male or a female voice.
它一开始是在“桀桀”的怪笑，紧接着，却说出了一句让人很迷惑的话。
At the beginning, it was a strange smile of “Jie Jie”, and then, it said a very confusing sentence.
“我们来玩场游戏~如果你们赢了，我就放你们离开~”
“Let’s play a game~ If you win, I’ll let you go~”
话音落下的那刻，能量屏障就出现了，紧接着所有的声音都消失不见。
The moment the voice fell, the energy barrier appeared, and then all the voices disappeared.
从“风声”得到的消息可以确定，乐土并不是极乐馆封锁的，而是被一个不知道哪里来的人，用一种“玩游戏”的说辞给封闭了。
From the information obtained from “Fengsheng”, it can be confirmed that Paradise was not blocked by the Bliss Pavilion, but was closed by a person who didn’t know where he came from, using a kind of “playing games” to say that it was closed.
而且，从对方的言语中可以知道，它之所以玩这个游戏，是为了限制某些人的离开。
Moreover, from the words of the other party, it can be known that the reason why it plays this game is to restrict some people from leaving.
否则它没必要说“如果你们赢了，就放你们离开”这种话。
Otherwise it doesn’t need to say “if you win, let you go”.
以上，就是速灵本体得到的所有信息。
The above is all the information obtained by Suling itself.
至今为止，乐土都还是封锁着的，速灵也不知道自己分化出来的微风怎么样了……因为安格尔在召唤它，它也没办法，只能暂时从乐土附近撤离。
So far, the Paradise is still closed, and Su Ling doesn’t know what happened to the Breeze that he split…Because Angel is calling it, it has no choice but to temporarily evacuate from the vicinity of the Paradise.
听完速灵的说辞，多克斯看向安格尔：“你怎么看这件事？”
After listening to Su Ling’s speech, Doakes looked at Angel: “What do you think of this matter?”
安格尔并没有立刻回话，而是看向速灵：“如果那些分化出来的风出了问题，会对你的本体造成影响吗？”
Angel did not reply immediately, but looked at Su Ling: “If there is a problem with those split winds, will it affect your body?”
比起其他，安格尔更在意的是速灵。毕竟，是他安排速灵出去寻找卡艾尔的，如果速灵因此而受损，这是安格尔不愿意看到的。
More than anything else, Angel cares more about Su Ling. After all, he was the one who arranged for Su Ling to go out to find Kael, and if Su Ling was damaged as a result, Angel would not want to see this.
速灵迟疑了一下，摇摇头。
Su Ling hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
分化出来的风如果出了问题，对它的本体并不会有影响，但是毕竟是从它身上分化出去的，每一缕风都代表了速灵的能量源泉。
If there is a problem with the differentiated wind, it will not affect its body, but after all, it is differentiated from it, and every strand of wind represents the energy source of Suling.
如果这些分化出去的风消失了，速灵的能量源泉会受到一定的影响。
If these differentiated winds disappear, the energy source of Suling will be affected to a certain extent.
可以理解成，每一缕风都是几十年的修为，少一缕风，等于让速灵的修为也跟着降低。
It can be understood that every ray of wind is decades of cultivation, and the lack of a ray of wind is equivalent to reducing the cultivation of Su Ling.
如今陷入乐土的微风一共六缕，假设每一缕风都有二十年的修为，全部损失，至少让速灵的修为掉一百二十年。
There are a total of six breezes falling into the Paradise, assuming that each wind has 20 years of cultivation, and if all of them are lost, at least one hundred and twenty years of Suling’s cultivation will be lost.
当然，这只是一种比喻，不过真实情况也和比喻差不了太多，微风消失不会对速灵本体有损，但会对它的能量源泉有损。
Of course, this is just a metaphor, but the real situation is not too different from the metaphor. The disappearance of the breeze will not damage the body of Suling, but it will damage its energy source.
虽然未来也能慢慢修行回去，但肯定不是短时间内能修回去的。
Although you can slowly practice back in the future, it is definitely not possible to go back in a short time.
毕竟，速灵和安格尔签订了二十年的契约，它在契约期间必然要跟着安格尔，想要找个风元素浓郁的地方修行，不是那么容易。
After all, Suling signed a twenty-year contract with Angor, and it must follow Angor during the contract period. It is not so easy to find a place with strong wind elements to practice.
不过，速灵也的确不觉得这几缕风能对它有多大影响，毕竟元素生物的寿命很漫长……百年也是弹指间。
However, Su Ling really doesn’t think that these wind energy will have much impact on it. After all, the lifespan of elemental creatures is very long…a hundred years is just a snap of the fingers.
所以，在它看来是：有点影响，可影响不大。
So, from its point of view: a little bit, but not much.
不过在安格尔的眼中，这就很有影响了。
But in Angel’s eyes, this is very influential.
速灵算是他的契约手下，哪怕有时限，但在时限内，速灵的实力肯定是越高越好。可现在，因为乐土被封闭，有可能让速灵的实力降低，这安格尔可不干。
Su Ling is his contract subordinate, even if there is a time limit, but within the time limit, the strength of Su Ling must be as high as possible. But now, because the Paradise is closed, it may reduce the strength of Su Ling, which Angel will not do.
这等于是让他的总体实力降低！
This is equivalent to reducing his overall strength!
更何况，速灵这次受损，也是因为他的吩咐所致。
What’s more, Su Ling was damaged this time because of his orders.
所以，安格尔毫不犹豫的道：“我们转向，去乐土！”
So, Angel said without hesitation: “Let’s turn around and go to the paradise!”
他去斗技场，是多克斯撺掇的，安格尔想着也没事可做，去看看也无妨，这才答应去斗技场。
It was Doakes who urged him to go to the arena. Angel thought that he had nothing to do, so he agreed to go to the arena.
但现在，乐土那边可是事关速灵的修为，这可就不一样了。
But now, Paradise is about Suling’s cultivation, which is different.
两相一对比，安格尔立刻抛弃掉了去斗技场看戏的想法，准备转向去乐土。
Comparing the two, Angel immediately gave up the idea of going to the Colosseum to watch a show, and was about to go to the Paradise instead.
至于多克斯愿不愿意，那是他的事。多克斯打算继续去斗技场，安格尔也不阻拦，但他现在肯定是要去乐土的。
As for whether Doakes is willing or not, that is his business. Doakes planned to continue going to the arena, and Angel did not stop him, but he was definitely going to the paradise now.
眼见安格尔一定要去乐土，多克斯在沉思了片刻后，还是选择跟了上来。
Seeing that Angel must go to the paradise, Doakes chose to follow after pondering for a moment.
他一个人去斗技场，想占便宜也不一定能蹭到。而且，斗技场已经快有十分钟没有动静了，浅海力士要么被抓了，要么去了其他地方。他们现在去，大概率是无利可图了。
He went to the arena alone, and he might not be able to get it if he wanted to take advantage of it. Moreover, there has been no movement in the arena for almost ten minutes, Qian Hailishi was either captured or went to other places. If they go now, there is a high probability that it will be unprofitable.
还是跟着安格尔吧……
Follow Angel…
而且，乐土那边的情况也很怪，早不出现晚不出现，偏偏在此时爆发，或许也是跟袭击者有关，指不定在乐土那边，会有惊喜等着他。
Moreover, the situation on the Paradise is also very strange. It doesn’t appear sooner or later, but it happened at this time. It may be related to the attackers. Maybe there will be surprises waiting for him on the Paradise.
于是，本来已经出了枯树林的众人，再次倒转回去。
Thus, everyone who had already left the dead forest turned back again.
乐土虽然和斗技场不是在比伦树庭的两端，但相距还是很远。乐土已经靠近比伦树庭的边缘，甚至有一部分，已经连接到了外界。
Although Paradise and Colosseum are not at the two ends of Billon Grove, they are still far apart. The Promised Land is already close to the edge of Bilon Tree Garden, and even part of it has been connected to the outside world.
从某种意义上来说，乐土也算是比伦树庭的一个出入口。
In a sense, Promised Land can also be regarded as an entrance and exit of Bilon Grove.
……
…
从议事院到斗技场的路上，安格尔更像是悠闲散步；但现在，从枯树林去往乐土，安格尔的速度却是飞快。
On the way from the Senate to the Colosseum, Angel was more like a leisurely walk; but now, from the dry forest to the paradise, Angel’s speed is extremely fast.
“果然，当利益相关时，你也不能免俗。”多克斯哼哼道。~Soverse.com~多克斯说这句话，是下意识的把速灵当成了安格尔的元素伙伴。既然是元素伙伴，那速灵的利益就是安格尔的利益。
“Sure enough, when interests are at stake, you can’t be exempt.” Doakes snorted. ~Soverse.com~ When Doakes said this, he subconsciously regarded Su Ling as Angel’s elemental partner. Since it is an elemental partner, the interests of Su Ling are the interests of Angel.
但实际上，安格尔和速灵之间的联系目前只有一份区区二十年时效的契约。
But in fact, the connection between Angor and Su Ling is currently only a contract with a statute of limitations of twenty years.
虽然救那些分化出来的微风，也勉强关乎安格尔的利益，但并不算大。
Although it is somewhat in Angel’s interest to save the split Breeze, it is not a big deal.
起码，这件事如果放在多克斯身上，他是不愿意去做的……毕竟，这只是一个到期就分手的合同，在见不到投资回报时，榨干剩余价值才是上策。
At least, if this matter is placed on Doakes, he is not willing to do it… After all, this is just a contract that will be broken up when it expires. It is the best policy.
安格尔也听到了多克斯嘀咕，但他懒得理会，只是默默的向前飞奔。
Anger also heard Doakes muttering, but he didn’t bother to pay attention, and just ran forward silently.
在前往乐土的途中，安格尔也在思索着速灵所提供的信息。
On the way to the paradise, Angel was also thinking about the information provided by Su Ling.
安格尔虽然没有亲自听到风声里的那道声音，但对方的言语，让他总有种熟悉的既视感……
Although Angel did not personally hear the voice in the wind, the other party’s words gave him a familiar sense of sight…
