Chapter 1485: Different Information

Danger!
Ronald's eyes tightened, and he immediately stepped back. The flames of the Lantern of the Boundless Sea also extinguished instantly under his control.
这片黑暗和虚无并非攻击，而是这个世界本身的某种特质。实际上，荆棘藤蔓的存在并非为了将人困在歌中林，而是将歌中林保护在其内部。
此刻罗纳德直面的威胁，就好似潜水员所在的潜水钟遭到破坏，携带巨大压力的深海洪流正迎面扑来一般！
罗纳德心中警铃大作。
【本能】法术的危险预知几乎达到极限，和遇到伟大存在时也只差一个强度。
Bang!
千钧一发之际，罗纳德脚下狠踩，向后奋力一跃。
正当他身体浮在空中之际，强风骤现。
气流如一道龙卷般缠绕在罗纳德身旁，拽着他的身体就往后飞，使他原本就迅疾如雷的动作更上一层，几乎赶光超电！
is Costat.
The maid faithfully carries out Ronald's commands.
In the next moment of crisis, Costat immediately casts a spell from the rear to help Ronald escape the dangerous edge of the Singing Forest.
“……”
Ronald thanked Costat for his advice, but his gaze did not dare to leave the void outside the forest in the song.
He was contemplating how to protect both of them or how to respond to this phenomenon in the future.
就在这个刹那，异变突生。
罗纳德视野远处，刚刚被【绝海提灯】火焰烧掉的荆棘藤蔓再次生长，以迅猛之势将歌中林再度包围起来，仅仅数秒就将外界的虚空彻底隔绝。
After the structure was complete, the hidden effects of the thorny vines reemerged.
A tranquil and harmonious illusion of a forest emerged at the edge of the world, keeping all terrifying things on the outside. The Singing Woods, at this moment, completely returned to the appearance it had when Ronald and the others entered, a quiet demeanor resembling a world in a lullaby.
Pa---
Staring at the scene in front of him, Ronald landed back on the ground.
Without waiting for him to turn around, Costa rushed forward to examine Ronald's physical and mental condition: Translation: "
“先生，您没事吧！我刚才看到林子外面的情况……”
罗纳德挥手示意自己无恙：
“没事，你刚才做得不错，帮了我大忙。”
Thanks to his quick reaction speed, Ronald was unharmed.
等科斯塔特检查完毕，放下心来，他便重新向歌中林边缘走去。这一次女仆紧跟在后，一步都不愿离开罗纳德的身旁。
两人再度来到歌中林边缘，荆棘藤蔓亦重新出现在他们面前。
对于这种生长速度极快的藤蔓而言，刚才的覆灭仿佛一场幻梦，此刻罗纳德在眼前的事物上看不到任何破碎，亦或者经受过焚烧的痕迹。
Until his gaze noticed the position where the thorny vines were growing from the ground.
"This position is shorter than before?"
Before setting fire, Ronald had carefully observed the situation here, and he had also memorized the boundaries where the thorny vines were growing.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that, after the recent danger, the range of the forest in the song had actually narrowed by a circle!
There is almost no other possibility.
Ronald was very certain - this land has been swallowed by the void!
如果不想继续压榨自己和科斯塔特的活动空间，在没有稳妥把握之前，还是不要再对这些荆棘藤蔓下手比较好。
心中这么分析着，罗纳德便带着科斯塔特折返回林子深处，期间女仆主动问道：
Sir, how do we proceed next?
罗纳德折返的动作说明了他的打算，故科斯塔特没有询问离开林边的缘由，而是直接请示接下来的行动。
"I currently don't have any ideas," Ronald admitted bluntly, acknowledging his current helplessness. He continued, "In any case, from what we can see now, we must not disturb the edge of this forest. Let's search for clues on these trees, perhaps we'll find something useful. If that doesn't work..."
说到这儿，罗纳德嘴角勾起笑容：
“实在不行的话，我的【贪婪原罪】应该也到了能继续使用的时间——问题自然也就好解决了。”
“……”
Upon hearing this response, Costat was momentarily silent.
女仆跟着罗纳德继续折返，她在路上脚步多有停顿，眼神透露着矛盾之色，几次蠢蠢欲动地想要开口，但最终还是闭上了嘴。
Until the two of them reached the exact center of the Song Zhonglin.
罗纳德准备分头行动，继续探索这个几乎和外界没有区别的大林时，科斯塔特才忍不住开口：
“先生，按照我对您认知的了解——这种行为是否可以理解为在面对问题时，选择不进行任何干预措施，任由事情向着坏的一面进行发展？”
“……”
这次轮到罗纳德止步和沉默了。
他扭头看向一脸好奇的科斯塔特，控制着自己面部的表情，好一会儿才能开口：
“科斯塔特，你什么时候学会这样弯弯绕绕地说话了？我理解了一下你刚才的话，你的意思——就是在问我，这种行为是不是叫摆烂？”
"Sir, I am not..." Costa immediately became nervous.
However, Ronald did not allow the conversation to continue in a chaotic direction. Instead, he immediately classified the matter by saying:
“事情可预见地在变得糟糕时不作为，那才叫摆烂。”
“而现在呢？我们正在积极行动，而且也有法术作为可预见性的解决方法。所以科斯塔特，这绝不是什么糟糕的态度，我们是在努力解决问题啊！”
Having forcefully explained, Ronald quickly gave instructions and the two of them split up to explore the forest.
Apart from their flushed faces after turning around, Ronald and Kostat both maintained steady and powerful strides. Translated text:
……
结果就是，两人的探索一无所获。
他们详细弄明白了这里的一切，眼前的歌中林和外界的歌中林完全一致，除了栖息的鸟兽外毫无差异。
即便两人的细心到了极致，也无法收获任何情报。
最终只能接受士气的低落。
在预定的时间，即【贪婪原罪】可以再度使用的时间，罗纳德和科斯塔特重新回到歌中林中央。
“……”
The master and the maid locked eyes, understanding each other with just one glance.
Ronald scratched his head, trying to hide his embarrassment, then followed his previous plan and focused once again on the woods in front of him, targeting the "Greed Original Sin".
而后，【贪婪原罪】体现出和从前截然不同的反应。
通过这个法术作为媒介，几句优美莞尔的歌声，就这样传入罗纳德的耳中：
“歌声于林中环绕，在此处，亦在他处。”
“不变之音，不变之人，中庭之路由此延伸……”
【嗯，我的工作还没结束，但是今天更新了。
Why?
Because of overworking and staying up late for more than ten days in a row, I had a gout attack and had to take a break. Now I can update my writing.
I had actually considered this kind of situation before, but the reason was catching a fever due to infection.
世界真是奇妙……
总之，睡觉前写一章发了，明天起来想想后面怎么写。
这么久不码字……
老实说，我把原本准备的剧情忘了……】
