在一代,我们从舍命把我们从牢房里面救出来的奥斯卡的口中知道了,不死人并不只是一群被诅咒的不幸者们。实际上,在奥斯卡的家族里面流传着一个说法:不死人有着自己的”天职“。奥斯卡告诉我们,传说中,不死人是被选中的人们,是命中注定会前往诸神的居住地的天选者。他告诉我们在敲响了苏醒之钟(Bells of Awakening)过后,我们就会明白所谓的”不死人的天命“是什么。
…There is an old saying in my family……Thou who art Undead, art chosen……In thine exodus from the Undead Asylum, maketh pilgrimage to the land of Ancient Lords……When thou ringeth the Bell of Awakening, the fate of the Undead thou shalt know.…Well, now you know… And I can die with hope in my heart…——Oscar, Knight of Astora
Well, what do we have here? You must be a new arrival.Let me guess. Fate of the Undead, right? Well, you're not the first.But there's no salvation here. You'd have done better to rot in the Undead Asylum… But, too late now.
Why, what a surprise. I didn't expect you to make it.… Oh, somebody rang the bell… Wait. Was it you?You never give up, do you? I don't know how you do it.
You are Undead, as well?Then we've no time to fraternize. I have my mission, and you no doubt have yours.We must not let this curse overcome us.Did I not explain the urgency of our tasks?Who are you so uncouth as to lack such judgment?By the looks of you… I should think not.
Heh heh heh… What seems to be the ruckus?Ooh, my! Your face.The face of the curse.It's an Undead.An Undead has come to play. Heh heh…They all end up here, all the ones like you.You spoke to that kind old dear, didn't you?Heh heh…You're finished.You'll go Hollow.Yes, you will become one of them.Hollows prey upon men, feast upon their souls.This is the fate of the cursed. Heh heh heh…
A warm, soft, shadow like effigy.Use this item to reverse Hollowing. It also weakens the links to other worlds, invasions and most cooperation.Peer closely at an effigy, and one begins to perceive a human form, but whose form it takes depends on the person looking.
本作の主人公が“火の無い灰”という、積み重ねられた火継ぎの先にある独特の存在であることも、そうした判断の一因です。And the reason our main character is called "unkindled/ashen one" is because he/she is a special being appeared during the end of the age of the fire.
And the Unkindled will rise.Nameless, accursed Undead, unfit even to be cinder.And so it is,that ash seeketh embers. 而无火的余灰将纷沓而至。那是无名,成不了薪,且被诅咒的不死人。但也正因为如此,灰烬才会如此的渴求余火吧。
如果按照这个思路走下去,那么余火中的“英雄”就很值得玩味了。我们知道如果我们是余灰状态,在杀死boss的时候我们击杀的每个boss都会给我们一个免费的余火状态。再加上这些boss击杀时的“Heir of Fire Destoryed”(火之子嗣/火之后代毁灭)字样,或许在击杀他们的时候,我们或许从这些火之子嗣(Heir of Fire)的体内得到了余火的力量?
那么无火的余灰的“无火”的部分也很好理解了。“无火”,这里的火指的就是初火(The First Flame)。缺少了初火,无火的灰烬就已经不是这个时代的一部分了。这也是为什么无火的灰烬能够通过“余火”回复状态,但是为什么物品介绍里面仍然说这是无法得到的原因:不论你再怎么尝试,在一堆灰烬里面你也是生不起火的。作为一个无火的灰烬,主角只能暂时从其他人那里“借”来初火的一部分,暂时的取暖。
