批判サイド インテリジェントデザイン批判 Jason Rosenhouseの「インテリジェントデザインは若い地球の創造論者を嫌うが、それば...」 Jason Rosenhouse準教授は、インテリジェントデザイン支持者たちは、反進化論と若い地球の創造論が同義だとされるのを最も望んでいないと指摘する。 The big debate between Bill Nye and Ken Ham was tonight. Click here for the video. The whole thing is close to three hours, so get comfortable if you want to watch it all. Bill NyeとKen Hamの間の大ディベートは今夜だった。動画は ここ 。全体で3時間近く、すべてを見たければ、気楽に。 But I do think there was a clear loser in the debate the intelligent design crowd. This was the biggest event in the evolution vs. creationism battle in quite some time, and it was good ol’ young-Earth creationism that was on display. Once you factor in the extensive online audience and the other media coverage, the message everyone will have received is that anti-evolutionism is just equivalent to Bible-thumping obscurantism. This was precisely the notion ID was invented to dispel. Seeing Ham drone on and on about the Bible, to the point of defending the plausibility of Noah’s ark for heaven’s sake, must have had the ID folks seething. It’s one of the endearing features of YEC’s that they make no attempt to hide their religious motivations. This is why they drive the ID folks crazy. しかし、このディベートで明確な敗者がいると私は思う、それはインテリジェントデザイン支持者たちだ。これはここ最近では、進化論対創造論の最大のイベントであり、映像に載った、古き良き"若い地球の創造論"だった。広範囲のオンラインの視聴者たちと、メディの報道の中で、誰もが受け取ったメッセージは、反進化論とは聖書を掲げた反啓蒙主義と同義だということを。まさしく、これを払いのけようと、インテリジェントデザインが発明されたのだ。天のために、ノアの箱舟の尤もらしさを擁護しようとして、Ken Hamが延々と聖書を引用し続けるのを見て、インテリジェントデザイン支持者たちは怒り狂っただろう。"若い地球の創造論者"たちの愛すべき特徴の一つは、彼らが宗教的動機を隠そうとしないことだ。だからこそ、インテリジェントデザイン支持者たちは怒り狂うのだ。 [ Jadon Rosenhouse "Debating Creationists"(2014/02/05) ] そして、その例を、Discovery Institute公式ブログのエントリから引用する： The Discovery Institute seems to agree with my assessment. In a blog post bearing the desperate title, “In the Ham-Nye Debate, Not So Much as a Glove Was Laid on Intelligent Design,” they write Discovery Instituteは私のアセスメントと一致しているようだ。ブログポストで彼らは書いている。 Here’s an important point to register Whatever you think of the Ham-Nye debate or the presenters, intelligent design was off-topic. The debate asked this question “Is creation a viable model of origins in today’s modern, scientific era?” Loaded as that question is with philosophical and theological encumbrance, it has nothing to do with intelligent design. Creation (as the word is commonly employed) refers to the Genesis account, which may be read any number of different ways; ID does not. ID is not a “model,” but rather an inference to the best explanation based on uniform experience with the cause-and-effect structure of the world. And ID certainly is widely employed in today’s modern, scientific era, including by scientists who are not associated with “intelligent design.” 銘記すべき最重点はこれだ： Ken Ham - Bill Nyeの論争あるいはプレゼンターたちについて何をお思うとも、インテリジェントデザインは話題になっていないということだ。 ディベートはこれを問うている。「創造は、今日の現代科学の時代において有効なモデルなのか？」 その質問は哲学及び神学問題として提示されており、インテリジェントデザインとはまったく関係がない。（通常使われている用語としての）創造は創世記の記述を指していて、様々に読まれている。しかし、インテリジェントデザインはそうではない。インテリジェントデザインはモデルではなく、世界の因果構造の均一な経験に基づく最良な説明の推論である。そして、インテリジェントデザインは今日の現代科学の時代に、「インテリジェントデザイン」と関連していない科学者たちにも、広く受け入れられている。 Blah blah blah. Sorry guys, the microphones have been turned off. No one is paying attention. Ken Ham is the public face of anti-evolutionism now. あーたらこーたら。済まないが、マイクオフ。誰も関心を持っていない。Ken Hamは今や大衆にとっての反進化論の顔である。 Also at the DI blog, David Klinghoffer calls the debate a fiasco. He writes 同じくDiscovery Instituteのブログで、David Klinghoffeはこのディベートを失敗だと言う。彼は書いている： I’m terribly regretful about Tuesday night’s debate pitting creationist Ken Ham against “Science Guy” Bill Nye before as many as 532,000 viewers on YouTube. I say that as someone, an Orthodox Jew, who very much cares that Christians should be strengthened in their own faith. For many who watched, the event was likely corrosive of that faith. That’s what happens when someone challenges you on the evidence before such an audience, and like Ham, you choose not to answer adequately. Unlike creationism, intelligent design is not apologetics — it’s a no-holds-barred search for truth about origins. But it sure is more persuasive than anything that Ken Ham presented. 火曜夜のディベートで非常に残念なことは、最大532000人のYoutube視聴者の前で、サイエンスガイ Bill Nyeと、創造論者Ken Hamを戦わせたことだ。キリスト教徒を大いに気にかける正統派ユダヤ教徒は信仰を強めるだろう。しかし、このイベントを見た多くの人々は信仰を損なっただろう。そのような聴衆の前で、証拠についてチャレンジされたときに、Ken Hamのように適切に回答しない選択をしたときに起きることだ。 創造論と違って、インテリジェントデザインは護教論ではない。起源の真理について制約のない探求である。しかし、Ken Hamが提示した何よりも、説得力がある。 Blah blah blah, again. Tell it to the hand, since he’s the only one still listening. Klinghoffer’s post is especially interesting, since he didn’t seem regretful in the run-up to the debate あーたら、こーたら。彼は聞く価値がある。Klinghofferのブログポストは特に面白い。彼はディベートの準備について残念がっていないからだ。 OK, I’ll confess. I’m going to watch the debate on February 4 matching creationist Ken Ham versus “Science Guy” Bill Nye. I’ll do so with eagerness and pleasure. そうだ、正直に言っておこう。私は創造論者Ken HamとサイエンスガイBill Nyteの2014年2月4日のディベートを見るつもりだ。熱心かつ喜んでそうするつもりだ。 And later そしてそのあとで More seriously, I would like the world to get a good look at a genuine creationist what he says, how he argues, what questions animate him. It’s been among the more dishonest tactics of ID’s critics to paint intelligent design as just another shade of “creationism.” The more people watch Ham debate Nye, the better they will be able to appreciate the stark contrast between advocates of intelligent design and those of creationism. もっとまじめに言うと、私は世界に、本物の創造論者の良き面を見てほしいと思う。彼が言うこと、そして彼の論じ方を、どんな問いが彼を生き生きと見せるかを。インテリジェントデザイン批判者たちの不誠実な戦術のひとつに、インテリジェントデザインを創造論の別の面だとい描写するというのがある。Ken HamがBill Nyeとディベートをするの見れば、インテリジェントデザイン支持者と創造論支持者の違いを明確に把握できるようになるだろう。 It doesn’t seem to have worked out that way. More seriously, I devote a chapter of Among the Creationists to comparing YEC to ID. On the one hand, the cultural differences between them are real. The people I met at ID conferences were nearly always hostile towards YEC. The YEC’s, for their part, were generally ambivalent toward ID. They liked the anti-evolution part, but didn’t like the part where they refused to identify the designer. そうはいかなかったようだ。 もっとまじめに言うと、私の本"Among the Creationists"の中で、"若い地球の創造論"とインテリジェントデザインの比較に一章を使った。一方で、彼らの文化的違いはリアルである。インテリジェントデザインコンファレンスでであった人々は、ほぼ全て"若い地球の創造論"に敵対的だった。"若い地球の創造論者"たちはインテリジェントデザインについてアンビバレントだった。彼らは反進化論の部分を好んだが、デザイナーを特定しようとしないことを嫌った。 But for all of that, Klinghoffer is full of it when he says it’s a dishonest tactic to compare ID to creationism. The proper analogy is that they are different dialects of the same language. As much as they try to be relentlessly on message in their public forums, their isn’t enough slick rhetoric in the world to disguise their religious motivations. This was also manifestly obvious at the ID conferences I attended. In short, wherever you find anti-evolutionism, you can be sure that religion is not far behind. The main difference between YEC and ID is the honesty of its practitioners in acknowledging that しかし、そのすべていについて、Klinghofferは、インテリジェントデザインを創造論に比することを不誠実な戦術だというとき、彼は嘘をついている。適切なアナロジーは、彼らが同じ言語の違う方言を受かっているというものだ。公衆へのメッセージにこだわるあまりに、宗教的動機を偽装するためのレトリックは十分に滑らかになっていない。それは私が参加したインテリジェントデザインコンファレンスでも明らかだった。 つまるところ、反進化論の背後に宗教があるのを確認できる。"若い地球の創造論"とインテリジェントデザインの違いは、それを認める正直さの差異である。 [ Jason Rosenhouse "The DI In Damage Control Mode"(2014/02/06) ]

CHAPTER XXVII UP CHAPTER XXIX CHAPTER XXVIII An Unfortunate Lily Maid "OF course you must be Elaine, Anne," said Diana. "I could never have the courage to float down there." "Nor I," said Ruby Gillis, with a shiver. "I don t mind floating down when there s two or three of us in the flat and we can sit up. It s fun then. But to lie down and pretend I was dead--I just couldn t. I d die really of fright." "Of course it would be romantic," conceded Jane Andrews, "but I know I couldn t keep still. I d be popping up every minute or so to see where I was and if I wasn t drifting too far out. And you know, Anne, that would spoil the effect." "But it s so ridiculous to have a redheaded Elaine," mourned Anne. "I m not afraid to float down and I d love to be Elaine. But it s ridiculous just the same. Ruby ought to be Elaine because she is so fair and has such lovely long golden hair-- Elaine had `all her bright hair streaming down, you know. And Elaine was the lily maid. Now, a red-haired person cannot be a lily maid." "Your complexion is just as fair as Ruby s," said Diana earnestly, "and your hair is ever so much darker than it used to be before you cut it." "Oh, do you really think so?" exclaimed Anne, flushing sensitively with delight. "I ve sometimes thought it was myself--but I never dared to ask anyone for fear she would tell me it wasn t. Do you think it could be called auburn now, Diana?" "Yes, and I think it is real pretty," said Diana, looking admiringly at the short, silky curls that clustered over Anne s head and were held in place by a very jaunty black velvet ribbon and bow. They were standing on the bank of the pond, below Orchard Slope, where a little headland fringed with birches ran out from the bank; at its tip was a small wooden platform built out into the water for the convenience of fishermen and duck hunters. Ruby and Jane were spending the midsummer afternoon with Diana, and Anne had come over to play with them. Anne and Diana had spent most of their playtime that summer on and about the pond. Idlewild was a thing of the past, Mr. Bell having ruthlessly cut down the little circle of trees in his back pasture in the spring. Anne had sat among the stumps and wept, not without an eye to the romance of it; but she was speedily consoled, for, after all, as she and Diana said, big girls of thirteen, going on fourteen, were too old for such childish amusements as playhouses, and there were more fascinating sports to be found about the pond. It was splendid to fish for trout over the bridge and the two girls learned to row themselves about in the little flat-bottomed dory Mr. Barry kept for duck shooting. It was Anne s idea that they dramatize Elaine. They had studied Tennyson s poem in school the preceding winter, the Superintendent of Education having prescribed it in the English course for the Prince Edward Island schools. They had analyzed and parsed it and torn it to pieces in general until it was a wonder there was any meaning at all left in it for them, but at least the fair lily maid and Lancelot and Guinevere and King Arthur had become very real people to them, and Anne was devoured by secret regret that she had not been born in Camelot. Those days, she said, were so much more romantic than the present. Anne s plan was hailed with enthusiasm. The girls had discovered that if the flat were pushed off from the landing place it would drift down with the current under the bridge and finally strand itself on another headland lower down which ran out at a curve in the pond. They had often gone down like this and nothing could be more convenient for playing Elaine. "Well, I ll be Elaine," said Anne, yielding reluctantly, for, although she would have been delighted to play the principal character, yet her artistic sense demanded fitness for it and this, she felt, her limitations made impossible. "Ruby, you must be King Arthur and Jane will be Guinevere and Diana must be Lancelot. But first you must be the brothers and the father. We can t have the old dumb servitor because there isn t room for two in the flat when one is lying down. We must pall the barge all its length in blackest samite. That old black shawl of your mother s will be just the thing, Diana." The black shawl having been procured, Anne spread it over the flat and then lay down on the bottom, with closed eyes and hands folded over her breast. "Oh, she does look really dead," whispered Ruby Gillis nervously, watching the still, white little face under the flickering shadows of the birches. "It makes me feel frightened, girls. Do you suppose it s really right to act like this? Mrs. Lynde says that all play-acting is abominably wicked." "Ruby, you shouldn t talk about Mrs. Lynde," said Anne severely. "It spoils the effect because this is hundreds of years before Mrs. Lynde was born. Jane, you arrange this. It s silly for Elaine to be talking when she s dead." Jane rose to the occasion. Cloth of gold for coverlet there was none, but an old piano scarf of yellow Japanese crepe was an excellent substitute. A white lily was not obtainable just then, but the effect of a tall blue iris placed in one of Anne s folded hands was all that could be desired. "Now, she s all ready," said Jane. "We must kiss her quiet brows and, Diana, you say, `Sister, farewell forever, and Ruby, you say, `Farewell, sweet sister, both of you as sorrowfully as you possibly can. Anne, for goodness sake smile a little. You know Elaine `lay as though she smiled. That s better. Now push the flat off." The flat was accordingly pushed off, scraping roughly over an old embedded stake in the process. Diana and Jane and Ruby only waited long enough to see it caught in the current and headed for the bridge before scampering up through the woods, across the road, and down to the lower headland where, as Lancelot and Guinevere and the King, they were to be in readiness to receive the lily maid. For a few minutes Anne, drifting slowly down, enjoyed the romance of her situation to the full. Then something happened not at all romantic. The flat began to leak. In a very few moments it was necessary for Elaine to scramble to her feet, pick up her cloth of gold coverlet and pall of blackest samite and gaze blankly at a big crack in the bottom of her barge through which the water was literally pouring. That sharp stake at the landing had torn off the strip of batting nailed on the flat. Anne did not know this, but it did not take her long to realize that she was in a dangerous plight. At this rate the flat would fill and sink long before it could drift to the lower headland. Where were the oars? Left behind at the landing! Anne gave one gasping little scream which nobody ever heard; she was white to the lips, but she did not lose her self-possession. There was one chance--just one. "I was horribly frightened," she told Mrs. Allan the next day, "and it seemed like years while the flat was drifting down to the bridge and the water rising in it every moment. I prayed, Mrs. Allan, most earnestly, but I didn t shut my eyes to pray, for I knew the only way God could save me was to let the flat float close enough to one of the bridge piles for me to climb up on it. You know the piles are just old tree trunks and there are lots of knots and old branch stubs on them. It was proper to pray, but I had to do my part by watching out and right well I knew it. I just said, `Dear God, please take the flat close to a pile and I ll do the rest, over and over again. Under such circumstances you don t think much about making a flowery prayer. But mine was answered, for the flat bumped right into a pile for a minute and I flung the scarf and the shawl over my shoulder and scrambled up on a big providential stub. And there I was, Mrs. Allan, clinging to that slippery old pile with no way of getting up or down. It was a very unromantic position, but I didn t think about that at the time. You don t think much about romance when you have just escaped from a watery grave. I said a grateful prayer at once and then I gave all my attention to holding on tight, for I knew I should probably have to depend on human aid to get back to dry land." The flat drifted under the bridge and then promptly sank in midstream. Ruby, Jane, and Diana, already awaiting it on the lower headland, saw it disappear before their very eyes and had not a doubt but that Anne had gone down with it. For a moment they stood still, white as sheets, frozen with horror at the tragedy; then, shrieking at the tops of their voices, they started on a frantic run up through the woods, never pausing as they crossed the main road to glance the way of the bridge. Anne, clinging desperately to her precarious foothold, saw their flying forms and heard their shrieks. Help would soon come, but meanwhile her position was a very uncomfortable one. The minutes passed by, each seeming an hour to the unfortunate lily maid. Why didn t somebody come? Where had the girls gone? Suppose they had fainted, one and all! Suppose nobody ever came! Suppose she grew so tired and cramped that she could hold on no longer! Anne looked at the wicked green depths below her, wavering with long, oily shadows, and shivered. Her imagination began to suggest all manner of gruesome possibilities to her. Then, just as she thought she really could not endure the ache in her arms and wrists another moment, Gilbert Blythe came rowing under the bridge in Harmon Andrews s dory! Gilbert glanced up and, much to his amazement, beheld a little white scornful face looking down upon him with big, frightened but also scornful gray eyes. "Anne Shirley! How on earth did you get there?" he exclaimed. Without waiting for an answer he pulled close to the pile and extended his hand. There was no help for it; Anne, clinging to Gilbert Blythe s hand, scrambled down into the dory, where she sat, drabbled and furious, in the stern with her arms full of dripping shawl and wet crepe. It was certainly extremely difficult to be dignified under the circumstances! "What has happened, Anne?" asked Gilbert, taking up his oars. "We were playing Elaine" explained Anne frigidly, without even looking at her rescuer, "and I had to drift down to Camelot in the barge--I mean the flat. The flat began to leak and I climbed out on the pile. The girls went for help. Will you be kind enough to row me to the landing?" Gilbert obligingly rowed to the landing and Anne, disdaining assistance, sprang nimbly on shore. "I m very much obliged to you," she said haughtily as she turned away. But Gilbert had also sprung from the boat and now laid a detaining hand on her arm. "Anne," he said hurriedly, "look here. Can t we be good friends? I m awfully sorry I made fun of your hair that time. I didn t mean to vex you and I only meant it for a joke. Besides, it s so long ago. I think your hair is awfully pretty now--honest I do. Let s be friends." For a moment Anne hesitated. She had an odd, newly awakened consciousness under all her outraged dignity that the half-shy, half-eager expression in Gilbert s hazel eyes was something that was very good to see. Her heart gave a quick, queer little beat. But the bitterness of her old grievance promptly stiffened up her wavering determination. That scene of two years before flashed back into her recollection as vividly as if it had taken place yesterday. Gilbert had called her "carrots" and had brought about her disgrace before the whole school. Her resentment, which to other and older people might be as laughable as its cause, was in no whit allayed and softened by time seemingly. She hated Gilbert Blythe! She would never forgive him! "No," she said coldly, "I shall never be friends with you, Gilbert Blythe; and I don t want to be!" "All right!" Gilbert sprang into his skiff with an angry color in his cheeks. "I ll never ask you to be friends again, Anne Shirley. And I don t care either!" He pulled away with swift defiant strokes, and Anne went up the steep, ferny little path under the maples. She held her head very high, but she was conscious of an odd feeling of regret. She almost wished she had answered Gilbert differently. Of course, he had insulted her terribly, but still--! Altogether, Anne rather thought it would be a relief to sit down and have a good cry. She was really quite unstrung, for the reaction from her fright and cramped clinging was making itself felt. Halfway up the path she met Jane and Diana rushing back to the pond in a state narrowly removed from positive frenzy. They had found nobody at Orchard Slope, both Mr. and Mrs. Barry being away. Here Ruby Gillis had succumbed to hysterics, and was left to recover from them as best she might, while Jane and Diana flew through the Haunted Wood and across the brook to Green Gables. There they had found nobody either, for Marilla had gone to Carmody and Matthew was making hay in the back field. "Oh, Anne," gasped Diana, fairly falling on the former s neck and weeping with relief and delight, "oh, Anne--we thought--you were--drowned--and we felt like murderers--because we had made--you be--Elaine. And Ruby is in hysterics--oh, Anne, how did you escape?" "I climbed up on one of the piles," explained Anne wearily, "and Gilbert Blythe came along in Mr. Andrews s dory and brought me to land." "Oh, Anne, how splendid of him! Why, it s so romantic!" said Jane, finding breath enough for utterance at last. "Of course you ll speak to him after this." "Of course I won t," flashed Anne, with a momentary return of her old spirit. "And I don t want ever to hear the word `romantic again, Jane Andrews. I m awfully sorry you were so frightened, girls. It is all my fault. I feel sure I was born under an unlucky star. Everything I do gets me or my dearest friends into a scrape. We ve gone and lost your father s flat, Diana, and I have a presentiment that we ll not be allowed to row on the pond any more." Anne s presentiment proved more trustworthy than presentiments are apt to do. Great was the consternation in the Barry and Cuthbert households when the events of the afternoon became known. "Will you ever have any sense, Anne?" groaned Marilla. "Oh, yes, I think I will, Marilla," returned Anne optimistically. A good cry, indulged in the grateful solitude of the east gable, had soothed her nerves and restored her to her wonted cheerfulness. "I think my prospects of becoming sensible are brighter now than ever." "I don t see how," said Marilla. "Well," explained Anne, "I ve learned a new and valuable lesson today. Ever since I came to Green Gables I ve been making mistakes, and each mistake has helped to cure me of some great shortcoming. The affair of the amethyst brooch cured me of meddling with things that didn t belong to me. The Haunted Wood mistake cured me of letting my imagination run away with me. The liniment cake mistake cured me of carelessness in cooking. Dyeing my hair cured me of vanity. I never think about my hair and nose now--at least, very seldom. And today s mistake is going to cure me of being too romantic. I have come to the conclusion that it is no use trying to be romantic in Avonlea. It was probably easy enough in towered Camelot hundreds of years ago, but romance is not appreciated now. I feel quite sure that you will soon see a great improvement in me in this respect, Marilla." "I m sure I hope so," said Marilla skeptically. But Matthew, who had been sitting mutely in his corner, laid a hand on Anne s shoulder when Marilla had gone out. "Don t give up all your romance, Anne," he whispered shyly, "a little of it is a good thing--not too much, of course--but keep a little of it, Anne, keep a little of it."

A few shipwrecked chroniclers are still floating in the Ocean. Bring them to [QUEST_SENDER]! The false chroniclers V At the Emperor s request, [QUEST_SENDER] wants to deliver him the traitors. He s not entirely comfortable with the idea. Escort the vassals safely to the Imperial city. The false chronicler VI [QUEST_SENDER] a problem on his new Island an influenza epidemic. The virus seems to be resistant to traditional oriental Medicine. Deliver useful Herbs and Spices to him. Influenza with consequences I [QUEST_SENDER] s Doctors are making no progress. However, the ruler has heard of some highly skilled witches in your City. Find them and bring them to [QUEST_SENDER]! Influenza with consequences II The flu epidemic is subsiding. [QUEST_SENDER] is amazed at the three witches and watches them go with a heavy heart. He guarantees the witches a safe Escort home. Will you undertake this task? Influenza with consequences III [QUEST_SENDER] is furious to hear about the attacks on the witches. He has heard that the witches are persecuted in the West, while in his realm they are honoured as healers. Sink the witch-hunters! Influenza with consequences IV Influenza with consequences V The planned coup d etat I [QUEST_SENDER] is irate that the Corsairs are constantly attacking his Trading ships en route to the West. He assigns you the task of hunting down the plunderers. One of the Corsairs reveals the background to the raids. A coup d etat is planned. Three of the ringleaders are allegedly in your City. Seek them out and bring them to [QUEST_SENDER]. The planned coup d etat II The three plotters remain silent. A Fleet of Ships belonging to the plotters has also set up a Blockade in front of [QUEST_SENDER] s Island. Break through it! The planned coup d etat II Meanwhile, [QUEST_SENDER] has found out which of his Officers remain loyal and which not. He asks you to send his loyal subordinates Weapons. The planned coup d etat III The dissidents were overpowered by [QUEST_SENDER] s well equipped Units. During interrogation one of the Captains disclosed the location of the chief instigator s hideout. Find the man! The planned coup d etat IV The coup d etat was quashed. [QUEST_SENDER] does not want to execute the rebels, but will instead punish them by making them build a Monument commemorating the foiling of the coup. Deliver the Goods required to do this. The planned coup d etat VI A Captain of one of [QUEST_SENDER] s Trading ships reported some weatherbeaten chests which he was unable to salvage due to heavy seas. The Coats of arms on the Chests resemble those of the Sultan. Salvage them. The false Crest I The Chests look very old. What precious Items do they contain? [QUEST_SENDER] asks you to seek out the Alchemists in your City to ascertain both the age and origin of the Flotsam. The false Crest II The Alchemists require a number of Goods to determine the exact age of the Chests. [QUEST_SENDER] does not have these in stock. Supply him with the Goods so that work can proceed! The false Crest III The Crest is a forgery! Someone is trying to profit from [QUEST_SENDER] s good name, but he has written his address in a hidden place on the Chests. Find the swindler! The false Crest IV Al Hamra I Two of [QUEST_SENDER] s Spies have gone into hiding in your City after completing a Quest. Take care of this matter and bring them to him. This is urgent! Al Hamra II It is now certain according to the Spies, one of the three feared Corsair brothers is suffering from a serious illness and must be returned to his homeland. This is the chance to eliminate Bilal al Hamra. Al Hamra III It was only a matter of time, and now the time has come. Baltasar al Hamra, Bilal s oldest brother, has sailed his Fleet to [QUEST_SENDER] s Harbour to revenge his brother s death. Al Hamra IV The Corsair fleet now lies at the bottom of the Ocean. But the third brother has escaped and is now trying to flee. Sink him and, in so doing, end the Al Hamra reign of terror. For posterity I Inspired by the Emperor s idea of a Chronicle for posterity, [QUEST_SENDER] would also like to leave a permanent legacy a Building. Books should explain which type of Building would provide a fitting Monument. For posterity II For posterity III For posterity IV Reports have shown that none of the local Islands can bear the weight of the Palace. However, a site has been found further South. Deliver the Materials directly to a Transport ship. Harmony I There is a big day ahead; [QUEST_SENDER] s nephew wants to marry Lord Northburgh s sister. Bring the lady from her shopping expedition in your City and to the place of the intended union. Harmony II There are so many arrangements to be made! After all, [QUEST_SENDER] wants the marriage to be a symbol of the joining of the two cultures. Huge quantities of the most exquisite Food and Drink from both Cultures will be required. Harmony III Not everyone is enthusiastic about the historic event. Some Princes consider it sacrilege, and they intend to try to do all they can to prevent it. Stop them! Harmony IV The Sultan is amazed that his nephew has chosen a woman of such independent mind and strong will as a wife. Even her wish to be married by her old and long-lost Confessor cannot be denied! Harmony V [QUEST_SENDER] is delighted with the preparations for the large Feast. Even the bride is finding less and less to nag about. Yet one thing is still missing thousands of lights are to illuminate the ceremony. Harmony VI The crowd cheered, the bride cried; the marriage was a great success. To ensure that it remains that way, [QUEST_SENDER] asks you to accompany them on the first stage of their honeymoon around the world. Days of study were unable to unearth a Building suitable to the Sultan. However, Lord Northburgh offered his architectural expertise and designed a Palace. Collect the Construction plans. [QUEST_SENDER] is astounded by Lord Northburgh s plan. He now wonders where this Building, which is to preserve his memory for all time, should be built. Look for a suitable site! Recovery The Sultan has learned of the mysterious illness which is afflicting the Emperor. He immediately sent his servants out to find the best Alchemists the Orient has to offer. They are now ready to travel to the Imperial residence. Delivery The Emperor has personally taken custody of a saboteur who was caught trying to infiltrate the Imperial residence. As the person behind the saboteur is one of the Sultan s renegade Princes, the Sultan himself wants to pass judgement on him. He therefore asks for the prisoner to be handed over. Confidant Confession War-mongering Princes are currently spreading rumours about the premature collapse of relations between the Sultan and the Emperor. The Sultan would like to write a letter to the Emperor to dissociate himself from this allegation most emphatically. Dress alliance Manhunt For some weeks, Lord Northburgh has been looking for a convicted Knight who escaped from the Debtor s prison. A Captain from Al Zahir s Fleet discovered him on an Island and managed to apprehend him. He is now ready to be collected, but Weapons will be required for protection. The danger is averted, but although the ladies are under the Sultan s protection, they long to return to their cool, green homeland. It is only the knowledge that Lord Northburgh will be looking after them that gives him the heart to let them go. The false Coat of Arms V Demonstrate Honour Duty Qualities of a confidante Comrade at arms Golden attendance Maritime symbol Not many receive the Honour of being granted the [QUEST_SENDER] s trust. Especially Occidentals. And a fair few of the Sultan s Princes find this quite incomprehensible. Gain some Prestige with them. Being the [QUEST_SENDER] s confidante brings not only Privilege but also duties in its wake. The [QUEST_SENDER] is now asking you to offer your services. Crush the Corsairs so that they leave these Waters once and for all. You have recently demonstrated your understanding of Diplomacy and Trade to [QUEST_SENDER]. A confidante of the [QUEST_SENDER] should also exhibit the qualities of a good Governor. Prove yourself. As the [QUEST_SENDER] s confidante, you are now also a subject of the Sultanate and are duty bound to protect and safeguard it. This may sometimes require the use of the Sword. Arm yourself for this eventuality. Gold means very little to the [QUEST_SENDER], but he too cannot deny its usefulness. He therefore demands of all his followers their constant readiness to support the Sultanate. There are still a small minority out there who oppose the growing bonds between the Orient and Occident. As a shining symbol of the new world, the [QUEST_SENDER] wants to use Oriental ships sailing under your Banner to dismantle these old structures . Rather than lock him away in a deep, dark dungeon for the rest of his days, the [QUEST_SENDER] would rather make use of the Artist s talents himself. He is to serve as Court artist in the Imperial capital. Please escort him there yourself to ensure that he does not once again fall into the hands of criminals.

The first two are teachers at high schools, and the latter is employed at a nursery school. アキコ、サヨコ、ヒサコ(名字は伏せよう）、それぞれ45歳と43歳と43歳。 最初のふたりは高校教師、３人目は保母をしている。 So what, asks Asahi Geino (9/14), do these three gals have in common, aside from being in their 40s and looking after other people s children? The answer is that they all moonlight for "delivery health" businesses, which in Japan is a euphemism for outcall sex services performed in hotels or at the customer s home. 40代で、子供相手の仕事をしている、ということ以外に、何が3人の共通点だろうか？アサヒ芸能(2006年9月14日号)は問いかける。 答えは、夜の仕事"デリバリーヘルス"だ。デリバリーヘルスとは、ホテルや顧客の家で行われる性的出張サービスを遠回しに指す。 Asahi Geino brought the three women together to conduct a panel discussion, in which they shared their thoughts and experiences concerning these lucrative moonlighting activities. 本誌アサヒ芸能は、この3人を招き、高収入風俗バイトについての考えや経験を共有できるような座談会を開いた。 All three women told the magazine they found their jobs via the internet. 3人とも、インターネットでバイトを見つけたと話した。 "I entered the keywords kou shuunyuu baito (high-paying part-type work, a euphemism for sex-related services) into a search engine," says Akiko. 「私は検索エンジンで『高収入バイト』ってキーワードで探したの」アキコは言う。 高収入バイトという単語は、風俗業を示唆する。 "Since I didn t have any prior experience in this kind of work, I didn t know what the interviewer was talking about when he said sumata, " Sayoko recalls with a smile. "Even now there are still plenty of specialized terms I don t understand." 「この手の仕事の経験は全くなかったから、面接した人が『スマタ』ていったときも何のことかさっぱりわからなかったわ」サヨコが笑いながら思い出話をする。 「今でも、意味不明な業界用語がたくさんあるわ」 For readers unfamiliar with this term, "sumata," literally real crotch, is a popular service in which the woman straddles her customer and brings him to orgasm by sliding her lubricated labia majora along the shaft of his penis, without actual penetration. スマタという単語が耳慣れない読者諸君。スマタとは文字通り『ナマの股間』だ。女性が男性の上にまたがり、ヌルヌルしたアソコをアレにそって擦りつけて、挿入なしで男をイカせるというデリヘルで人気のサービスのことだ。 The petite Hisako, who stands only 148cm tall but boasts a whopping 100cm bustline, tells Asahi Geino that before starting her moonlighting job, she perused Internet sites that utilize animated cartoons to demonstrate the various services and techniques that hookers were expected to provide to their johns. 身長は148cmと小柄だがバストは自称100cmというヒサコが本誌に語った。風俗の仕事をはじめる前に、インターネットを見て、売春婦がどんなことをし、どんなテクニックを使うかアニメで実演しているサイトをじっくり調べたと。 In the course of their part-time work, the women regularly come across customers with what could be described as "unusual" needs. 彼女たちは風俗バイトをしていて「普通じゃない」リクエストに出くわすことも多いそうだ。 "Even though my daughter is grown up, if my mammaries are stimulated, I still lactate," says 45-year-old Akiko. "Some customers notice see the milk coming out and ask permission to nurse, making infant-like requests. You d be surprised how many men go for this sort of thing." 「私の娘はもう大人だけど、胸が刺激されると、いまだに母乳が出るの」と45歳のアキコは話す。 「お客の中には、母乳に気づいて飲んでもいいかって赤ちゃんプレイをしたがる人もいるわ。 そういうプレイをする男の人がたくさんいるってことに驚くでしょ」 Sayoko reacts to Akiko s remarks by saying, "Wow! You should be in the Guinness Book of Records." アキコの発言にサヨコが「うわ。その歳で母乳ってギネスもの」と突っ込みを入れる。(*1) To which Akiko responds, "What surprised me the most was being asked to pee in front of them. I guess it s because I had no experience doing this -- not that I feel any resistance. One of my customers who was a physician wanted to poke his finger in my anus to examine me, and "make sure I didn t have colon cancer. " アキコは続ける。「何が驚きかって、お客の目の前でオシッコしてくれって言われることよ。 私がそんなことをしたことがないから驚くんだろうなって思うけど……だけど抵抗は感じないわ。 お客の一人は医者なんだけど、私の肛門に”検査だ”って指を押し入れたがるの、それで『直腸がんはないようだね』って……」 Sayoko admits that one of her motives for moonlighting is the sheer physical pleasure of a good romp in the sack. "I really get off on sex," she says. "By the time a customer and I are finished, the bed sheets are usually soaked all the way through. Even with a first-time customer, we might go at it for two hours straight, and to be honest, I was a little scared by the excretion of so much fluid -- I worried at that rate I d complete dry up and wither." サヨコは、風俗業を続ける動機のひとつが、お客とエッチするのが気持ちイイから、という純粋な肉体的理由だと認める。 「セックスに夢中なの」と彼女は言う。 「お客さんとした後は、いつもシーツがびしょぬれ。一見さんとだって2時間くらいするし、正直言って自分でもこんなに濡れるのが少し怖いくらい・・・このままだと干上がって枯れてしまうんじゃないか、心配」 [Here, they all explode with laughter.] ここで全員大爆笑 "Things related to eroticism and sex are never raised at a nursery school," says Hisako. "But customers who know that I work in one take an interest in what I do. Do you ever have sex with the headmaster? they ask me. They seem to fantasize over this." 「保育園では、エッチなことやセックスに関係あることなんてゼロ」ヒサコは言う。 「でも私が保母だって知ってるお客の中には『園長とした事ある？』って聞く人もいる。 保母だから、っていうだけでいろいろ妄想しちゃうみたい。」 So, Asahi Geino s interviewer asks the three ladies, what has changed since you started working in the sex business? 本誌記者は、風俗業界で働き始めてから何が変わったのか尋ねてみた。 "For me," replies Akiko with a completely serious expression, "I ve realized more than ever we can t allow public order and morals to decline." 「私は・・・公共の秩序やモラルがなくなっていくのが許せないと前よりはっきり思うようになった」とアキコが真剣な口調で答えた。 Hisako agrees. "When I m doing my regular job, I say to myself, Nobody knows I work in the sex industry. So I get a strong sense of the importance of being a completely honest person who always keeps her promise." ヒサコも同意する。「昼の仕事をしている時は『誰も私が夜の仕事をしてる事を知らない』って 自分に言い聞かせるの。 そうすると、約束を絶対に破らない正直な人間でいることの大切さをより実感するわ」 Sayoko says her moonlighting work has changed her view of men. サヨコは、男性観が変わった、と言った。 "Before, I d always been more attracted to younger men," she confesses. "But young guys these days have longer limbs, and their private parts tend to be bigger. There was a time when I preferred that, but since I started doing this work, I lost interest in younger guys. It s become much more enjoyable to be in the company of older men. 「風俗で働く前は、若い男の子が好みだったの。 でも、最近の若い子って手足が長くてアソコも大きいでしょ。 そういうが好みだった時期もあるの。だけど、この仕事をはじめてからは、若い子に興味をなくしちゃった。 ちょっと年がいってる人のほうがいいわ。」サヨコはこう告白した。 "It s like I ve finally come into bloom," she says with a shy giggle. (By Masuo Kamiyama, People s Pick contributor) 「ついに目覚めちゃったみたい」恥ずかしそうにクスクス笑いながらサヨコはそう話した。(カミヤママスオ 寄稿ライター) 拡散状況 Adult-DVD-Movie ｈｔｔｐ //www.adult-dvd-movie.co.uk/en/adult_news/14031/japanese-teachers-come-not-so-clean-on-their-sexy-moonlighting-jobs.html Asian Sex Gazzete http //www.asiansexgazette.com/asg/japan/japan05news90.htm Barely 18 Movies http //www.barely18movies.com/blog/?p=368 英語サイト http //edschultz.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=19359 http //sgforums.com/forums/2427/topics/213385 関連ページ Adult-DVD-Movie Barely 18 Movies WaiWaiの記事を転載した英語サイト：S 元記事一覧 毎日新聞英語版から配信された記事2006年

Once a month Ms. Yoshizawa checks into a city hotel and arranges for a young hunk to visit her room to dispense a three hour-long therapy session. 「彼が私の背中や肩をさすり始めたとき、私は喜びを予感して身を震わせました」看護師のヨシザワ アキナ(31)はそう語る。 月に一度、ヨシザワさんはシティホテルにチェックインして、たくましい青年が彼女の部屋を訪ねて三時間のセラピーをしてくれるように手配している。 “I’ve got a boyfriend, but he’s not enough to satisfy me,” she adds in way of explanation. Then, after a suitably long interlude of foreplay - during which his hands stray over every spot on her body - she’ll demand, “Okay, that’s enough. Stick it in.” And he’ll willingly oblige. 「彼氏はいるんだけど、でも彼じゃ満足できないの」と彼女は言い訳がましく付け加える。 そして体中のすべてを若者の手でなでまわされながら、前戯という十分に長い幕間の後で、彼女はこう頼むことだろう。 「もう十分ね。入れてよ」すると若者は喜んで好意を示す。 If you can believe it, 100 of these “Nightingales of the Heisei Era,” agreed to share accounts of their most intimate activities with Shukan Taishu (11/26). もしこれが信じられるなら、彼女たち100人「平成のナイチンゲール」たちはもっともプライベートな行事を11月26日号の『週刊大衆』で共有することに同意した。 What the magazine’s leering male readers really want to know is do any of Japan’s angels in white ever engage in sex on the hospital premises? この誌のヤラシイ男性読者が実際に知りたがっていること、それは日本ではどれほどの白衣の天使が病院敷地内でセックスに従事しているのだろう？ということである。 It does happen, admitted 12 percent - as opposed to the 63 percent who replied “no way.” Interestingly, another 19 percent voiced a cryptically Clintonesque “other” as their reply. But come on, no fudging permitted Was it sex, or wasn’t it? そうしたことがあると看護師の12％が認めた。それに対立して、63％が「そんなことはない」と答えている。 興味深いことに、残りの19％は神秘的でクリントン的な「その他」という答えを返している。 しかしねえ、ごまかしは許されないよ。セックスしたのか、していないのか、だよ。 Shukan Taishu chooses to interpret the noncommittal reply as being a yes. Which, extrapolating the data, means that one out of three nurses in Japan has, at one time or another, done some sort of dirty deed on the hospital premises, either with a physician, other staff member or patient. 週刊大衆はあいまいな答えは「Yes」と解釈している。 このデータから推測すると、これらは、日本の看護婦の三人に一人が、一度かそれ以上、病院の敷地内である種のみだらな行為を医者や他の医療スタッフ、あるいは患者と行なったことがあるということを意味する。 “The first three years are always the hardest for a new nurse,” says Yoshiko Kagawa, who is 26. “You have to learn a ton of new stuff every day, and you can’t perform as well as senior staff. It’s hard on you psychologically.” 「最初の3年は新人看護師には常に大変なものです」カガワ ヨシコ(26)はこう言う。 「毎日新しく大量の仕事を覚えなくちゃいけない、でも先輩と同じようにはうまく働けない。 精神的にもきついものがあります」 According to Kagawa, young nurses are particularly vulnerable to seduction by doctors while in their first year on the job. When she was still in her freshman year, she befriended a 34-year-old physician at the ward where she was assigned. The two constantly tiptoed off to the recuperation room, the rehabilitation therapy room, the linen storeroom, and anywhere else they could find privacy for their tempestuous trysts. カガワさんによると、若い看護師は、働き始めて最初の年は医師からの性的誘惑に特に弱いという。 彼女自身、新人の年に担当の局が同じ34歳の医師と仲良くなった。 二人は日常的に処置室やリハビリ室、リネン室など、プライバシーが確保できる所ならどこにでも忍び込んでは激しい逢瀬を楽しんだ “We also used the outpatient surgery room,” she giggles. “Late at night any emergency cases were treated in the ICU, so the surgery was always empty. We’d lie down on the operating table and he would turn on the rotor and rub it against my clitoris. Or he’d moisten a cotton swab and insert it into my urethra. It drove me so wild, I lost control and wet myself,” she blushes. 「通院患者用の外科処置室を使っていました」と彼女はくすくす笑う。 「夜遅くなら急患はすべてICUに搬送されるので、外科処置室はいつも空いていました。 処置台に横になると、彼はローターのスイッチを入れて私のクリトリスを攻めてきます。 それか綿棒を湿らせて尿道に挿入するんです。 すっごく興奮しておかしくなっちゃいそうで、濡れちゃった」カガワさんは頬を赤らめた。 “The sensei really smirked when he saw that - I tell you, some doctors are really flaky. Sometimes he’d use a speculum on me too. I got the feeling he was just toying with me. We broke up not long after that…” 「センセイはそれを見て本当にニヤニヤ笑って…。本当のことを言うと、先生の中には本当におかしいひとがいるんです。 彼は私にも膣鏡を使ってきたこともありました。 単にオモチャ扱いされてる気がしましたよ。 それからほどなくして内に私たちは別れました…」 Based on the above, it’s hardly surprising that of the 31 nurses who gave responses other than “no,” 17 were under age 24 at the moment of truth and six were aged 25-29. The figure dropped off after age 30 and then inexplicably picked up again after age 35. 上記に基づくと、例の質問に「いいえ」以外の返答をした31人の看護師のうち、17人は24歳以下と決定的な年齢の最中にあり、25-29歳が6人だったということは驚くべきことではない。 指数は30歳以上ではいったん落ち込む。しかし不可解なことに35歳以上で再び盛り返しているのだ。 How’s that? Well, it seems that once past this age, senior nurses are more likely to have access to the head physician’s private office, particularly when he’s out making calls. This affords them with extra privacy to indulge in their libidinous impulses. どういうことだろう？ そうだな、この年になるとベテラン看護師になって偉い先生の個人部屋に行きやすくなるのだろう。特に先生が往診に出ているときには。 これでプライバシーはしっかり守られ肉欲的な衝動にふけっても差し支えない。 Of course what readers REALLY want to know is, do admitted patients ever get lucky? もちろん、読者が*本当に*知りたいことは、選ばれし患者が幸せになることはあるのか？だろう。 Well, it’s been known to happen. まあ、それはたまに起こることと知られている。 Last winter Hitomi Yasunaga, a 23-year-old nurse at an orthopedic hospital, was helping a 28-year-old skier with a fractured leg limp to the loo, when, she confesses, “I did something I wasn’t supposed to.” Pressed for details, she relays this account. 昨冬、整形外科に勤める看護師のヤスナガ ヒトミ(23)は足を骨折したスキーヤー(28)が足を引きずりつつトイレに向かうのを介助していた。「するはずのないことをしてしまった」と彼女は告白した。 詳細を迫られ、ヤスナガさんは以下の話を述べた。 “There weren’t enough male nurses available. Anyway, I was on night duty when I was buzzed, and he told me he had to pee.” 「男の看護士がその時足りていなかったの。 とにかく、ナースコールがあったとき私は夜勤で、彼はトイレに行きたいって言ったの」 One job nurses must do, it seems, is pull down an incapacitated male patient’s PJs and aim his willie while he takes a whizz. 看護師がすべき仕事のうちのひとつに、事故で体の不自由な男性患者のパジャマをおろして、用を足している間、男性器の狙いを定めてやるのは看護師のしなければならない仕事の一つらしい。 “He was really nervous and he couldn’t urinate at first,” she relates. “And while I held it there, it started getting bigger. And harder.” 彼女は語る。「その患者さんはすごく緊張していて、最初はオシッコができなかったんです。 そして私が手を添えてうちに、ソレはどんどん大きくなった。そして硬くね。」 Their eyes met and they giggled in mutual embarrassment. “And then nature took its course and I started, um, manipulating his thing,” blushes Yasunaga. 二人の目が合った。そして互いに恥じらい、クスクスと笑った。 「そして自然な経過をたどって、私は、えっと、彼のナニをしごきはじめたんです」ヤスナガさんは赤面した。 As it turned out, before the patient produced his urine specimen he secreted another, stickier substance. それは結果として、患者は尿を出す前に別の分泌物をだしてしまった。ねばねばした物質を。 After the patient’s discharge - not that one, I mean the one from the hospital - Yasunaga dated him once, but the magic of the moment had worn off. その患者がイッたあと――さっきの話じゃなくて、病院を出て行ったって意味ですが――(*1)ヤスナガさんは彼と一度デートした。しかしあのときの魔法は解けてしまった。 “In a business suit he just wasn’t as cute as he was wearing pajamas,” she says. “We had sex on the date, but things didn’t click. We never saw each other again.” (By Masuo Kamiyama, contributing writer) 「スーツ姿がパジャマのときほどかわいくなくて。デートでセックスもしたんだけどピンと来ませんでした。 その後は二度と会いませんでしたね。」 (カミヤマ マスオ・寄稿記者) 拡散状況 Japanese Style Noodles http //www.japanesestylenoodles.com/waiwai/archive20071117 WaiWai Archive http //www.mainichiwaiwai.com/waiwai/2007/11/20071117.php 海外ブログ ｈｔｔｐ //lifeinmotion.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/er-chicago-hope-cant-hold-a-stethoscope-to-heiseis-hubba-hubba-hospitals/ (*2) 全文コピペ。その後３行。 Heeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Already gave me one name Roland. あいつを殺さない代わりに俺にマーサーのために動いている進化体（Evolved）の居場所を教えると。既に一人はわかった、ローランドだ。 GUERRA Excellent. What s the problem? すばらしい。それでどうかしたのか？ HELLER That bitch is crazy. Can t trust her. あの女は狂ってる。信じられない。 GUERRA Does it matter? You get to Roland, you could find out something about Mercer s plan. それが何か問題でも？ローランドを見つけられればマーサーの計画について何かわかるだろう。 HELLER Yeaaah, fine.

Are you looking to travel to another town? dlga_start close_window.4|Please wait for everybody to board the ship. dlga_port_chief2 port_chief3|What do you need? dlga_port_chief3 port_chief_fleet1|Greetings. I have come to join the fleet of Sven Bull Neck and Harald Haraldsson that will travel to Englaland. dlga_port_chief3 port_chief_bodoletter1|A man named Atli Eiriksson left this port some time ago. Do you know where he was going? dlga_port_chief3 port_chief_pieles|I have given the skins to Hogni, now it's your turn. Where is Atli Eiriksson? dlga_port_chief3 port_chief_catach|I was at Gleann Da Loch and took 'The Cathach of Colum Cille.' dlga_port_chief3 port_chief_catach32|Unfortunately, Gleann Da Loch is too far. Would you take money instead? dlga_port_chief3 port_chief_svenlair|You know what I want. Where is the hideout of Sven Bull Neck? dlga_port_chief3 port_chief_buy_ship|I want to buy a ship. dlga_port_chief_buy_ship close_window|Follow me! dlga_port_chief3 port_chief_info_main|I have some questions about ships and sea travel. dlga_port_chief_info_main port_chief_info_main_1|What do you want to know? dlga_port_chief_info_main_1 port_chief_info_a_1|Why do people go to sea? dlga_port_chief_info_main_1 port_chief_info_b_1|How do I find my way at sea? dlga_port_chief_info_main_1 port_chief_info_c_1|What do I need to know if I want to buy a ship? dlga_port_chief_info_main_1 port_chief_info_d_1|What makes a ship fast? dlga_port_chief_info_main_1 port_chief2|That's all I wanted to know. Thanks! dlga_port_chief_info_a_1 port_chief_info_main|You can earn a lot of money if you trade goods or slaves across the sea. Others use it for raiding settlements. Finally, no Viking will respect you as a leader if you don't have a good ship. dlga_port_chief_info_b_1 port_chief_info_main|Look at the sun at day. Rest at night. The better you are at finding your way, the faster you travel. dlga_port_chief_info_c_1 port_chief_info_c_2|First, you need to know what type of ship you want. If you want to trade, then a Knorr may be a good choice. They have much room for cargo, but they are not very fast. The Snekkja, the Skei and the Busse are fast warships and are able to carry many troops. The Karvi is something in-between. If you only have a few men, then a small ship like a Byrding would perhaps suit you better. dlga_port_chief_info_c_2 port_chief_info_main|The second important factor is the type of wood the ship is made from. Ships made out of oak wood are the best ships, but are also expensive. Beech is cheaper, but it rots faster. dlga_port_chief_info_d_1 port_chief_info_main|The wind -- if you place your sails in a position to catch it best. If there is no wind at all, then your crew has to row. More rowers will make the ship faster. If you have more than one ship in your fleet, then your fleet will only be as fast as your slowest ship. A skilled Navigator can also make your fleet faster. dlga_port_chief3 port_chief_travel|I want to travel to another port. dlga_port_chief_travel close_window|I'm sorry. There are currently no passenger ships in this port that can transport a marshal and his whole army. dlga_port_chief_travel close_window.1|I'm sorry. There are currently no passenger ships in this port that can transport your party and the trader with his whole cargo. dlga_port_chief_travel port_chief_travel_2|From here, one may travel to ports in Friese, Danmark, Northvegr and Englaland. Where do you want to go? dlga_port_chief_travel port_chief_travel_2.1|From here, one may travel to ports in Englaland and Eriuland. Where do you want to go? dlga_port_chief_travel close_window.2|I am sorry. There are currently no passenger ships in this port. dlga_port_chief_travel_2 close_window|I changed my mind. dlga_port_chief_travel_3 port_chief_travel_4|You want to travel to {s1}? {s2} dlga_port_chief_travel_4 port_chief_travel_5|Let's start! dlga_port_chief_travel_5 close_window|Follow me! dlga_port_chief3 port_chief_pick_up_ship1|Is my ship ready yet? dlga_port_chief_pick_up_ship1 port_chief2|My men and I are still working on it.

I don't have these things with me. dlga_port_chief_build_ship_missing_1 port_chief2|Sorry, but I can't finish your ship without these materials. Buy them and come back once you have everything ready. dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_5 port_chief_build_ship_missing_2|I don't have enough peningas right now. dlga_port_chief_build_ship_missing_2 port_chief2|Sorry, but I need to feed my family and pay the workers. When you get the money, then come back and see me. dlga_port_chief_build_ship_main_5 port_chief_build_ship_missing_3|I will consider this and may come back later. dlga_port_chief_build_ship_missing_3 port_chief2|Take your time, but trust me.

It makes me happy to think that my business with you has helped in this. That should deserve a line or two in any saga about you! The fleet of Sven and Harald is across the bay. It numbers fifty boats, many of them war ships, totalling over 800 men. Have you finished your affairs in Danmark? Are you ready to leave? I warrant you won't be back soon! dlga_port_chief_fleet2 the_fleetmt1|Yes, let's get started. Let's board my men. dlga_the_fleetmt1 close_window|Well, good luck Vinr. Although you can see many boats here, most of the fleet is anchored over in the bay, outside the city. Join them as soon as you feel ready! dlga_port_chief_fleet2 port_chief2|No, I need to finish some things. I will be back. dlga_port_chief_catach port_chief_catach2|{s2}^^Well, give me the book, and I will tell you what you asked about. dlga_port_chief_catach2 port_chief_catach31|Here, take it. Now, Sven's hideout? dlga_port_chief_catach2 port_chief_catach32|Unfortunately, I lost the book. Would you take money instead? dlga_port_chief_catach32 port_chief_catach4|My client will not be happy, and people will know you're not reliable. My client would've paid me 10,000 peningas for the book. Do you have that kind of money? dlga_port_chief_catach4 port_chief_catach5|I've got the money. Here, take it, and tell me where Sven is! dlga_port_chief_catach4 port_chief2|Unfortunately, no.

I need you to become, hmm, a 'raider' of sort, and go to Eriuland. I have a client who wants a book kept in a monastery there as a relic. The monastery is called Gleann Da Loch. The name of the book is the 'The Cathach of Colum Cille.' I am really only interested in the book. Anything else you take is yours. Bring me that book, and you will know where Sven Bull Neck is hiding. dlga_port_chief_svenlair3 port_chief_svenlair31|Sounds good! I'll bring you the book.

We are talking about the number two man in Danmark, Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye.' How about 12,000 peningas? Do you have this kind of money? If not, perhaps you could do me a little favor instead. I have a client who needs to move some furs to Dubh Linn, in Eriuland. Why wouldn't you take the furs for me?

I have read many books, but none of them talks about the violence and many dangers that we go through daily. dlga_beda_conversationcamp1 beda_conversationcamp2|Well, I think the Danish are the hordes of Gog and Magog that will come at the last hour of the world and that the Kingdom of West Seaxe is the last human kingdom trying to fight the inevitable before the Second Coming. dlga_beda_conversationcamp2 beda_conversationcamp3|Err...can you explain that Gog and Magog thing? dlga_beda_conversationcamp2 close_window|Very interesting, but I don't have time for this right now. dlga_beda_conversationcamp3 beda_conversationcamp4|Oh, well, the Bible mentions Gog as a leader of the horde coming from the land of Magog in the far north. In Ezekiel's prophecy, Gog leads a great army of skilled warriors from many different nations. They will attack the nation of men chosen by God, and there will be a great battle that will affect the whole world. I think that this is what is happening now, with all these pagans advancing over Englaland. dlga_beda_conversationcamp4 beda_conversationcamp6|We need to focus on the here and now. When the End comes, I assure you we won't miss it. dlga_beda_conversationcamp4 close_window|You worry too much, and I do not have time for this. dlga_beda_conversationcamp6 close_window|Yes, that's true. I tend to worry too much about things. I will enjoy the day. dlga_conversation_companioncamp egil_conversationcamp1|{playername}, I like you, but sometimes I think you're too naive as a leader. Allow me to give you some advice. dlga_egil_conversationcamp1 egil_conversationcamp2|I don't want to offend you, but I think you should take advantage of my experience. As you know, I grew up in the court of the king. I spend a lot of time in Ribe, where I meet the greatest warlords and their commanders. dlga_egil_conversationcamp2 close_window|I do not need your lessons. dlga_conversation_companioncamp donnachdh_conversationcamp1|Salve warlord, you should know that I'm from Eriu and descend directly from ancient warriors. Even my mother came from the old clan that the hero Cu Chulainn belonged to. dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp1 donnachdh_conversationcamp2|Eriu is divided into small clans that are grouped under the ones that are more powerful. These form kingdoms, for ages five in number. It is very important for each clan to show its power, and they often fight small wars. We mostly fight against neighboring clans, where rivalry tends to flourish, but many times larger clans lead others to wars between kingdoms, because the most important men of the island aspire to the throne of Tara. Being the master of Tara means you are the high king, Ard Ruire, of all Eriu, and that brings much glory for your clan. dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp2 donnachdh_conversationcamp3|So many rivalries make things easy for the Vikings. dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp2 donnachdh_conversationcamp3_2|So many wars produce very tough warriors. dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp2 donnachdh_conversationcamp3_3|Someone should unite all the clans. dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp2 close_window|I'm interested very little in this. dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp3 donnachdh_conversationcamp4|I admit that the Vikings have managed to become strong in some parts of the island, but they are as divided as we are. In fact, I dare say that they are already part of the way we do things in Eriu. It is not uncommon to see Vikings fighting alongside Goidels against other Vikings. The kings of Eriu have taken to hiring them as mercenaries, and Vikings often serve rival clans who face each other. dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp3_2 donnachdh_conversationcamp4|Yes, that's true. War eliminates the weakest and forces men to learn how fight. It is definitely a good place to get warriors for your army. On the other hand, if you let yourself be entangled by Goidelic politics or you try to become king of Tara, you will realize that the island has certain political traditions and that nothing you do will ever change Eriu. dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp3_3 donnachdh_conversationcamp4|All men and clans covet the throne of Tara, but really hardly anyone is capable of sitting in it. Those who try tend to have short lives, but always another man and another clan come along, and the cycle continues. If the throne of Tara is ever yours, may you enjoy it as long as possible. Your clan will be famous and respected, but your life will be very short. dlga_donnachdh_conversationcamp4 close_window|Surely, Eriu, or Hibernia, as the Romans called it, is a different land. Forget everything you know, Eriu is different! dlga_conversation_companioncamp donnachdh_dwywei_conv1|Every time I give an order in your name, Dwywei questions my authority among your men. Now she is gathering with some warriors to mutter against me. I do not understand this hate, as we both are from the same kingdom. dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv1 donnachdh_dwywei_conv2|The Scots of Dal Riata are bloody traitors. They came from Eriu to take our western lands. Some years ago, we lost our beloved king Bridei fighting against the Norsemen, and most of the Pictish nobility died with him. Then Cinaed mac Ailpin, the king of Dal Riata, disputed the Pictish crown with the surviving members of the seven royal houses of the Picts. dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv2 donnachdh_dwywei_conv3|-- She grits her teeth --^^Cinaed defeated us in battle and later met all claimants to the Pictish crown at Scone. They feasted while mead and ale flowed freely. What happened next is known as Mac Ailpin's treason 'the Conqueror' killed all our nobles and became the only claimant for the Pictish Crown. Now his successor, the king of Alban, rules over both the Picts and the Scots. Who can trust in this traitor's race? Me? No! dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv3 donnachdh_dwywei_conv4|Stupid and stubborn Picts... dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv4 donnachdh_dwywei_conv5|Forget this old enmity. Now you have a common enemy. Together you must face the Norsemen. dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv4 donnachdh_dwywei_conv6|I understand your concern about the Scots, but Donnachdh has proven to be a man of honor. dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv4 donnachdh_dwywei_conv7|Is this how Scots are? Then I hate them, too. Dirty traitors! dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv5 close_window|As you wish. dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv6 close_window|I understand that Donnachdh is not guilty of what happened. I'll try being nicer to him. dlga_donnachdh_dwywei_conv7 close_window|I hope, for your sake, that you are kidding, but I don't find you so funny. dlga_conversation_companioncamp morgant_conversationcamp1|{reg59?My lady Sir}, in Cornubia men with guts are a dying breed. In the past, we were a proud people, and our holdings stretched across southern Britannia. Then the Saxons came, and we lost the land. dlga_morgant_conversationcamp1 morgant_conversationcamp2|Now the sea brings the Danish, as previously it did the Angles and the Saxons. Now, the Saxons fear losing this land they took from us to the Danish. Isn't fate ironic? dlga_morgant_conversationcamp2 morgant_conversationcamp3|Sure, but don't bother me about Saxons. They will lose what they stole. dlga_morgant_conversationcamp2 morgant_conversationcamp3_2|The Saxons are strong. They will resist the Danish. dlga_morgant_conversationcamp2 close_window|I have very little interest in this. dlga_morgant_conversationcamp3 morgant_conversationcamp4|It is possible. Maybe God has a sense of humor or our prayers have brought the Danish to punish the Saxons. But who cares? Britannia is lost to the Britons. dlga_morgant_conversationcamp3_2 morgant_conversationcamp4|You mean we were weak? I think not! It is true that we were disunited and unlucky with our kings, but Arthur showed that it was possible to defeat the Saxons. We can only regret that there was no one to pick up his legacy. Britannia is now lost for us. dlga_morgant_conversationcamp4 morgant_conversationcamp5|Britannia will be returned to the Britons. I swear I will do it. dlga_morgant_conversationcamp4 morgant_conversationcamp5_1|Forget the past and focus on the present. dlga_morgant_conversationcamp5 close_window|I appreciate your words, but both of us know that, even if you conquer the whole island, Britannia of today has nothing in common with Britannia of yore. It will not be the same. dlga_morgant_conversationcamp5_1 close_window|Yes, you're right. There is little sense in mourning the past. Let us return to the present. dlga_conversation_companioncamp dwywei_conversationcamp1|{playername}, my parents were important people in Pictland, and their grandparents before them, and all my ancestors. They were descendants on the maternal side -- the one that matters to Picts -- of royal blood. dlga_dwywei_conversationcamp1 dwywei_conversationcamp2|However, there have been many changes in the kingdom known as Alban. Our people are mixing with our old enemies, the Goidels of Dal Riata, and my family was disgraced. I tried to recover our prestige as a warrior, but since the Picts embraced Christ, women have been excluded from this profession more and more each day. Ultimately, I failed, and my family paid with their lives for my failure. dlga_dwywei_conversationcamp2 dwywei_conversationcamp3|I do not normally talk about this, but I would like to say I have found a new family while traveling with you. This helps me to ease the burden of my past. For years, I hated the current kings of Alban. Now I don't care any more. My failure and the new laws of our land brought about the end of my family. I just pray that you don't judge me harshly for my past. dlga_dwywei_conversationcamp3 dwywei_conversationcamp4|What happened is in the past.

He is a valuable man and learns fast. dlga_caio_morgant_conv4 caio_morgant_conv6|Caio, if you don't come up to scratch soon, you should consider leaving us. dlga_caio_morgant_conv4 close_window|Don't bother me with this foolishness again. dlga_caio_morgant_conv5 close_window|Thank you for your confidence. dlga_caio_morgant_conv6 close_window|I... understand. dlga_conversation_companioncamp brunhild_conversationcamp1|Sometimes when I sleep, I dream of my past life in Doccinga and Kennemer. These nightmares remind me of my time of servitude. dlga_brunhild_conversationcamp1 brunhild_conversationcamp2|I am glad that I have left all that behind. In fact, I hate Friese, and treading its soil brings back dark memories. When we visit Friese on our travels, I only ask you to have patience with me. I will spend most of the time in my tent when we are not walking or fighting, sulking and not wanting to talk to anyone. dlga_brunhild_conversationcamp2 close_window|Now, forgive me, but just talking about it has upset my stomach. I think all these memories make me so depressed that I may never fully heal. dlga_conversation_companioncamp bodo_conversationcamp1|--You note that he is impatient, nervous.--^^Hi {playername}. We've been traveling together for a while, and our friendship, at least for me, is sincere. In fact, I have not trusted anyone like this for years. dlga_bodo_conversationcamp1 bodo_conversationcamp2|Actually, I'm surprised that our relationship is so good. My life has not been easy, especially here in the north, and I find it hard to trust people, but you're winning my trust so easily, it scares me. dlga_bodo_conversationcamp2 bodo_conversationcamp3|It's good to trust others, Bodo. dlga_bodo_conversationcamp2 bodo_conversationcamp3_2|That has happened to me as well. dlga_bodo_conversationcamp2 bodo_conversationcamp4|Keep your distance. You're just a soldier to me. dlga_bodo_conversationcamp3 close_window|Yes, you're right. I should trust myself more. Friendship is normal, not a dangerous shackle. Thanks my friend! dlga_bodo_conversationcamp3_2 close_window|You feel it, too? You see? We are suspicious people, too used to danger and to being deceived. I'll think about it! Thanks for your time. dlga_bodo_conversationcamp4 close_window|Yes, sorry. I was confused, but you've certainly cleared it up for me. dlga_conversation_companioncamp bodo_2conversationcamp1|{playername}, we have to talk! It is complicated. I do not know how to say this, but it needs to be said. dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp1 bodo_2conversationcamp2|Let me be clear, I've noticed how you look at me, and I fear that you're falling for me. I completely understand. I am an attractive man with warrior skills and leadership, but I must warn you that I am a married. I have a woman there in Cantabria and sixteen children. dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp2 bodo_2conversationcamp3|I think you should stop experimenting with mushrooms, Bodo. I have no interest in you. dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp2 bodo_2conversationcamp3_2|It's true. I really like you. dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp2 bodo_2conversationcamp4|Keep your distance, sir. You're a lowly soldier! I hardly even notice your presence. dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp3 close_window|Are you sure? That surprises me, I'm a real man, really macho, who attracts a lot of women. Well, luckily, now I can breathe easier. dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp3_2 bodo_2conversationcamp5|That worries me. You're an attractive woman, but you must know that I'm a married man and I owe it to my wife. I must make it clear that nothing will ever happen between us. dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp4 close_window|Yes, sorry. I was confused, but you've certainly cleared it up for me. dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp5 close_window|I was joking. I do not really like you. You're an ugly pig. dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp5 close_window.1|Do not worry. From now on, our relationship will strictly be that of warlord and soldier. dlga_bodo_2conversationcamp5 close_window.2|No problem, but I will keep your name on my wish list. dlga_conversation_companioncamp solveig_conversationcamp1|For the first time in my life, I feel like I am in a real army. Being a warrior and being beautiful have never made it easy for me to be part of a large group of men, but here you know how to maintain order, and people respect me. dlga_solveig_conversationcamp1 solveig_conversationcamp2|The Danish and Norwegians, and the world in general, do not have a good opinion of a woman who leaves home armed and ready to fight. Exactly for this reason, the skjaldmo are more legend than reality. There are very few like me, and soon there will be none, believe me. dlga_solveig_conversationcamp2 solveig_conversationcamp3|In my army, we do not distinguish between men and women, only between good and bad warriors. dlga_solveig_conversationcamp2 solveig_conversationcamp3_2|You will always be well treated here. dlga_solveig_conversationcamp2 solveig_conversationcamp4|Woman, your place is at home with a husband. dlga_solveig_conversationcamp3 close_window|I know, and I like it here. You must know that you have a loyal follower in me. I am committed to your cause. dlga_solveig_conversationcamp3_2 close_window|Thanks, {playername}. I hope to stay with you for a long time. dlga_solveig_conversationcamp4 close_window|I am confused. On the one hand, you accept me in your army, but on the other hand, you say I should get married and go home. You must be joking. Hah! Good one on old Solveig. dlga_conversation_companioncamp solveig_2conversationcamp1|{playername}, I like you a lot. I must admit that I am drawn to you. dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp1 solveig_2conversationcamp2|As you know, I chose the path of war. I keep my virginity in order to protect myself from love and men. It is not an easy way; it's not a comfortable way, but it has its laws, and if I break these, my life will become meaningless. My arms are my only husbands, and my shield is my home. I need you to respect that or I'll have to leave your company. dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp2 solveig_2conversationcamp3|I respect that, Solveig, and I am not really attracted to you. dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp2 solveig_2conversationcamp4|Sorry, Solveig, but I'm in love with you. dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp3 close_window|Well, part of me regrets that my feelings are not reciprocated, but the other part is happy to continue serving under your banner. I need to analyze these feelings. Good luck, friend. dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp4 solveig_2conversationcamp5|I understand. We love each other, but we can't be together. If I give in to this, I will end up locked away on a farm looking after 10 kids, and I could not bear that. I was born to be free and live an intense life. I want to enjoy the same freedoms as a man. I think it would be the best if I leave. dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp5 solveig_2conversationcamp6|Don't leave, Solveig. We will never discuss this again, and I shall restrain myself. dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp5 solveig_2conversationcamp7|Yes, it is best that you leave. dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp6 close_window|I also want to stay. Let's not talk about it and keep our distance. From now on, I will put my tent as far away from yours as possible. Farewell. dlga_solveig_2conversationcamp7 close_window|Yes, I think that is most appropriate. Good luck, friend. May the fates accept you. dlga_conversation_companioncamp asbjorn_conversationcamp1|It's interesting how Christian priests speak about the end of the world. It is very similar to what the Danish think. In both cases, we do not know when it will come, but we're sure it will. In both cases, it will be a catastrophe of epic proportions and of huge armies fighting in a devastated world. dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp1 asbjorn_conversationcamp2|But they think differently about other things. For the Danish, a large tree, called Yggdrasil, holds the nine worlds. The principal world is Asgard, where the gods live and which is governed by Odin and his wife Frigg. It can only be reached by the Rainbow Bridge, named Bifrost and guarded by Heimdal. dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp2 asbjorn_conversationcamp3|Tell me more. dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp2 close_window|Very interesting, but I have no time to listen. Farewell. dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp3 asbjorn_conversationcamp4|Another world is the ice land of Jotunheim, where a giant lives, banished there by our gods, the Aesir. There are also Alfheim, home of the elves, and Svartalfaheim, inhabited by dark elves and dwarves. We are in Midgard, the Middle Earth, inhabited by men. Below is the dark world of Niflheim, inhabited by the dragon Nidhogg, who has been gnawing at the roots of Yggdrasil from the beginning of time. Someday the roots will all be eaten and Yggdrasil will fall, starting Ragnarok. dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp4 asbjorn_conversationcamp5|Tell me more. dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp4 close_window|Very interesting, but I have no time to listen. Farewell. dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp5 asbjorn_conversationcamp6|At the end of time, Loki, his monsters and the dead will advance on the other worlds. Heimdall will sound his horn from the Rainbow Bridge, and gods and men will tremble with fear, for they will know that their time has come. A battle of gigantic proportions, the Ragnarok, will occur in which the gods and men will clash against the hosts of evil. The gods will lose, because it is well predicted, and their world will be destroyed by chaos. Odin will be swallowed up by the wolf Fenrir. dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp6 asbjorn_conversationcamp7|Well, {playername}, I guess it's not a very promising fate, but it teaches us that, no matter what we do, we are doomed. Therefore, it is best to enjoy each new day thoroughly. dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp7 close_window|Fate is inexorable, Asbjorn. dlga_asbjorn_conversationcamp7 close_window.1|I make my own destiny, Asbjorn. dlga_conversation_companioncamp helgi_conversationcamp1|{playername}, as you know, a long time ago I was in the land of Rus in the east. I travelled all through the far lands of the Slavs. I had good boots and became rich, until fate twisted things and brought me west. dlga_helgi_conversationcamp1 helgi_conversationcamp2|What I didn't tell you is that I suffered for love. I fell in love with the wife of a jarl, and she fell in love with me. We kept our love a secret, but someone betrayed us.

You have to keep your hands off other people's wives. dlga_helgi_conversationcamp4 helgi_conversationcamp5|I painted my face black and dressed in dark clothes. That night, I broke into his farm and killed him in his sleep. Then I fled to the west, where nobody knew me.

You are just a bastard in every meaning. dlga_brunhildvsegil_conv1 brunhildvsegil_conv2|Brunhild, Honey, you are just a slave and I'm the son of the king. Our story can't be real. We were just having fun, nothing else. I thought you knew that. You would have to be an idiot to think you can have a king's son just like that.

Even in a duel, the strength of a soldier is not the key factor that makes him win or lose. dlga_clovisvshegil_conv1 clovisvshegil_conv2|That is what you weak people always think, and that's why we, the bravest soldiers of all Svia, or even just simple Danes, pillage your lands.

We are polishing off our combat skills here with a bit of sparring practice. You look like you could use a bit of training. Why don't you join us, and we can show you a few tricks. If you need explanation of any combat concepts, just ask, and I will do my best to fill you in. dlga_start fighter_talk.1|What do you want to practice? dlga_fighter_pretalk fighter_talk|Tell me what kind of practice you want. dlga_fighter_talk fighter_talk_train_attack|I want to practice attacking. dlga_fighter_talk fighter_talk_train_parry|I want to practice blocking with my weapon. dlga_fighter_talk fighter_talk_train_combat|Let's do some sparring practice. dlga_fighter_talk close_window|[Leave] dlga_fighter_talk_train_attack fighter_talk_train_attack_2|All right. There are four principle directions for attacking. These are overhead swing, right swing, left swing and thrust. Now, I will tell you which direction to attack from and you must try to do the correct attack. ^^(Move your mouse while you press the left mouse button to specify attack direction. For example, to execute an overhead attack, move the mouse up at the instant you press the left mouse button. The icons on your screen will help you do the correct action.) dlga_fighter_talk_train_attack_2 close_window|Let's begin then. I am ready. dlga_fighter_talk_train_attack_2 fighter_pretalk|Actually, I want to do something else. dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry fighter_talk_train_parry_2|Unlike a shield, blocking with a weapon can only stop attacks coming from one direction. For example if you block up, you'll deflect overhead attacks, but you can still be hit by side swings or thrust attacks. ^^(You must press and hold down the right mouse button to block.) dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry_2 fighter_talk_train_parry_3|I'll now attack you with different types of strokes, and I will wait until you do the correct block before attacking. Try to do the correct block as soon as you can. ^^(This practice is easy to do with the 'automatic block direction' setting, which is the default. If you go to the Options menu and change the defend direction control to 'mouse movement' or 'keyboard,' you'll need to manually choose block direction. This is much more challenging, but makes the game much more interesting. This practice can be very useful if you use manual blocking.) dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry_3 close_window|Let's begin then. I am ready. dlga_fighter_talk_train_parry_3 fighter_pretalk|Actually, I want to do something else. dlga_fighter_talk_train_combat fighter_talk_train_combat_2a|Sparring is an excellent way to prepare for actual combat.

Now, try to do the same thing with a sling. Take the sling and the sling rocks over there and shoot those three targets. The sling is much easier to use with compared with the bow, but you need to reload it after each shot. dlga_start archer_challenge_2.1|Good. You didn't have too much difficulty using the sling either. Next, you will learn to use throwing weapons. Pick up the javelins you see over there and try to hit those three targets. dlga_start ranged_end2|Train every day, and in time, you will be as good as the best marksmen. dlga_ranged_end2 close_window|You can go talk with the melee fighters or the horsemanship trainer if you haven't already done so. They can teach you important skills too. dlga_start ranged_end|Well, with that you have received the basic skills to use all three types of ranged weapons. The rest will come with practice. Train every day, and in time, you will be as good as the best marksmen. dlga_ranged_end close_window|Now you can go talk with the melee fighters or the horsemanship trainer if you haven't already done so. They can teach you important skills too. dlga_start archer_talk2|Good day to you, young fellow. I spend my days training the men of the jarl of Kennemer in the art of archery. If you need a bow and javelins to practice, let me know, and I'll rent them to you both for 10 peningas. dlga_archer_talk2 archer_challenge2|Yes, I wish to practice my archery with your men (pay 10 peningas). dlga_archer_talk2 close_window|No, not now. dlga_archer_challenge2 close_window|Nice to do business with you. dlga_start archer_talk|Good day to you, young fellow. I spend my days teaching about ranged weapons to anyone that is willing to learn. If you need a tutor, let me know and I'll teach you how to use the bow, the sling and the javelin. dlga_archer_talk archer_challenge|Yes, show me how to use ranged weapons. dlga_archer_talk close_window|No, not now. dlga_archer_challenge archer_challenge_2|All right. Your first training will be in archery. The bow is a difficult weapon to master, but once you are sufficiently good at it, you will be able to shoot quickly and with great power. Go pick up the bow and arrows you see over there now and shoot those targets. dlga_archer_challenge_2 close_window|All right, I am ready. dlga_archer_challenge_2 close_window.1|Wait just a moment. I want to do something else first. dlga_start horseman_melee_challenge_2|I hope you enjoyed the ride. Now we move on to something a bit more difficult. Grab the lance you see over there and ride around the course hitting each target at least once. dlga_start horseman_melee_challenge_2.1|Good! You have been able to hit all targets on horseback. That's no easy feat for a starter. Your next challenge will be using a bow and arrows to shoot at the archery targets by the road. You need to put an arrow to each target to consider yourself successful. dlga_start horsemanship_end2|You were good. Keep riding and practicing each day, and in time, you will be an expert horseman. dlga_horsemanship_end2 close_window|Now, you can go talk with the melee fighters or the archery trainer, if you haven't already done so. You need to learn everything you can to be prepared when you have to defend yourself. dlga_start horsemanship_end|Keep riding and practicing each day, and in time, you will be an expert horseman. dlga_horsemanship_end close_window|You can also go talk with the melee fighters or the archery trainer, if you haven't already done so. You need to learn everything you can to be prepared when you have to defend yourself. dlga_start horseman_talk2|Good day! I have come here for some riding practice, but my old bones are aching badly, so I decided to give myself a rest today. If you would like to practice your horsemanship, you can take my horse here. The exercise would be good for her. dlga_horseman_talk2 horseman_challenge2|Yes, thank you for lending me your horse. dlga_horseman_talk2 close_window|No, not now. dlga_horseman_challenge2 close_window|No problem. Good luck. dlga_start horseman_talk|Good day! I have come here for some riding practice, but my old bones are aching badly so I decided to give myself a rest today. If you would like to practice your horsemanship, you can take my horse here. The exercise would be good for her. dlga_horseman_talk horseman_challenge|Yes, I would like to practice riding. dlga_horseman_talk close_window|Um, maybe later. dlga_horseman_challenge horseman_melee_challenge_2|Good. Now, I will give you a few exercises that'll teach you riding and horseback weapon use. Your first assignment is simple. Just take your horse for a ride around the course. Go as slow or as fast as you like. Come back when you feel confident as a rider and I'll give you some tougher exercises. dlga_horseman_melee_challenge_2 close_window|All right, I am ready. dlga_horseman_melee_challenge_2 close_window.1|Just a moment. I need to do something else first. dlga_tutorial_troop_default close_window|Hey, I am trying to practice here. Go and talk with the archery trainer if you need guidance about ranged weapons. dlga_start lord_prison_break_confirm_3|Is there a change of plans? dlga_start lord_prison_break|What's going on? dlga_start comp_prison_break|What's going on? dlga_comp_prison_break comp_prison_break1|I've come to break you out of here. dlga_comp_prison_break comp_prison_break1a|You are free to rejoin my party, friend. dlga_comp_prison_break1 close_window|Thank the heavens you came! However, I'm not going anywhere with these chains on my legs. You'll need to get the key away from the guard somehow. dlga_comp_prison_break1a close_window|Thank the heavens you came! Let me get my things collected, and I will rejoin you as soon as I can. dlga_start drunk_response|What are you looking at? dlga_start drunk_response.1|Are you looking at me? dlga_player_duel_response close_window|Such a waste... dlga_player_duel_response close_window.1|Better him than me dlga_drunk_response drunk_fight_start|I'm not sure... Some sort of animal, clearly dlga_drunk_response drunk_fight_start.1|Excuse me. Please accept my apologies dlga_drunk_fight_start close_window|I'll wipe that smirk right off your face! dlga_drunk_response drunk_player_high_renown|Do you have any idea who I am? dlga_drunk_player_high_renown drunk_fight_start|Do I care? dlga_drunk_player_high_renown drunk_player_high_renown|Emmm... Actually... Yes, yes, I do know who you are, my {reg59?lady lord}. Please forgive me, your grace -- it must be the drink. I'll be leaving, now... dlga_drunk_player_high_renown drunk_fight_start.1|Why, if you want a fight, you shall have one! dlga_drunk_player_high_renown close_window|I thought as much. Now, remove yourself from here. dlga_start fistfight_response|You look like a {reg59?lady fellow} who can take a few hard knocks -- and deal them out, too. I have a business proposition for you. dlga_fistfight_response fistfight_response_2|How's that? dlga_fistfight_response_2 fistfight_response_2a|Good -- I'm glad you're interested. Here's the plan... It's a little complicated, so listen well. dlga_fistfight_response_2a fistfight_response_3|You and this other fellow will start up a fight here. No weapons, no armor -- I'll sit back and take bets, and split the profits with the winner. If we make a loss, then I'll cover it. You have nothing to lose -- except a bit of blood, of course. dlga_fistfight_response_3 fistfight_response_4|However, we can't organize this like one of those nice arena bouts, where everyone places their bets beforehand. People will walk in, drawn by the noise, and put a pening or two on whichever one of your two they think is winning. I'll give 'em even odds -- anything else is going to be too tricky for someone who's already on his third flagon of ale. dlga_fistfight_response_4 fistfight_response_4a|So, as you can see, the trick is to stretch things out for as long as possible where it looks like you're losing, and people bet against you -- and then come back fast, and win, before the betting can turn. The best way to make money is for you to be battered almost to the floor, and then jump back off your feet and take your opponent down. However, you have to win in the end, in order for me, and you, to make money. dlga_fistfight_response_4a fistfight_response_5|Moreover, you can't stretch the fight out too long, or people will suspect a fix. So, one of you has to take a punch every so often. I don't care whose blood is spilled, but there has to be some blood. dlga_fistfight_response_5 fistfight_response_5a|One more thing. My mate, your opponent, doesn't take to well to complexity, so he's just going to come straight at you. It's up to you to supply the artistry. dlga_fistfight_response_5a fistfight_response_confirm|So, what do you think? dlga_fistfight_response_confirm close_window.1|I have better things to do dlga_start ramun_introduce_1|Good day to you, {reg59?lassie young man}. dlga_ramun_introduce_1 ramun_introduce_2|Forgive me. You look like a trader, but I see no merchandise. dlga_ramun_introduce_1 close_window|Never mind. dlga_ramun_introduce_2 ramun_introduce_3|A trader? Oh, aye, I certainly am that. My merchandise is a bit different from most, however. It has to be fed and watered twice a day and tries to run away if I turn my back. dlga_ramun_introduce_3 ramun_introduce_4|Livestock? dlga_ramun_introduce_4 ramun_introduce_5|Close enough. I like to call myself the man who keeps every boat on this ocean moving. Boats are driven by oars, you see, and oars need men to pull them or they stop. That's where I come in. dlga_ramun_introduce_5 ramun_introduce_6|Galley slaves. dlga_ramun_introduce_6 ramun_introduce_7|Now you're catching on! A trading port like this couldn't survive without them. The ships lose a few hands on every voyage, so there's always a high demand. The captains come to me and they pay well. dlga_ramun_introduce_7 ramun_introduce_8|Where do the slaves come from? dlga_ramun_introduce_8 ramun_introduce_9|Mostly I deal in convicted criminals bought from the authorities. Others are prisoners of war from various nations, or people unable to pay their debts, brought to me because I offer the best prices. However, on occasion I'll buy from privateers and other... 'individuals.' You can't be picky about your suppliers in this line of work. You wouldn't happen to have any prisoners with you, would you? dlga_ramun_introduce_9 ramun_introduce_10|Me? dlga_ramun_introduce_10 ramun_introduce_11|Why not? If you intend to set foot outside this town, you're going to cross swords with someone sooner or later. And, God willing, you'll come out on top. Why not make some extra money off the whole thing? Take them alive, bring them back to me, and I'll pay you fifty peningas for each head. Don't much care who they are or where they come from. dlga_ramun_introduce_11 ramun_introduce_12|Hmm. I'll think about it. dlga_ramun_introduce_12 close_window|Do think about it! There's a lot of silver to be made, no mistake. More than enough for the both of us. dlga_start ramun_talk|Hello, {playername}. dlga_ramun_pre_talk ramun_talk|Anything else? dlga_ramun_talk ramun_sell_prisoners|I've brought you some prisoners. Would you like a look? dlga_ramun_sell_prisoners ramun_sell_prisoners_2|Let me see what you have... dlga_ramun_sell_prisoners_2 close_window|A pleasure doing business with you. dlga_ramun_talk ramun_ask_about_capturing|How do I take somebody as prisoner? dlga_ramun_talk ramun_ask_about_capturing.1|Can you tell me again about capturing prisoners? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing ramun_have_blunt_weapon|You're new to this, aren't you? Let me explain it in simple terms. The basic rule of taking someone prisoner is knocking him down with a blunt weapon, like a mace or a club, rather than cutting him open with a sword. That way he goes to sleep for a little while rather than bleeding to death, you see? I'm assuming you have a blunt weapon with you... dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes|Of course. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no|As a matter of fact, I don't. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes ramun_ask_about_capturing_2|Good. Then all you need to do is beat the bugger down with your weapon, and when the fighting's over you clap him in irons. It's a bit different for nobles and such, they tend to be protected enough that it won't matter what kind of weapon you use, but your average rabble-rouser will bleed like a stuck pig if you get him with something sharp. I don't have many requirements in my merchandise, but I do insist they be breathing when I buy them. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no_2|No? Heh, well, this must be your lucky day. I have an old club lying around that I was going to throw away. It's a bit battered, but still good enough to bash someone until he stops moving. Here, have it. dlga_ramun_have_blunt_weapon_no_2 ramun_have_blunt_weapon_yes|Thanks, man. Perhaps I may try my hand at it. dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing ramun_ask_about_capturing_2|Alright, I'll try and explain it again in simple terms. The basic rule of taking someone prisoner is knocking him down with a blunt weapon, like a mace or a club, rather than cutting him open with a sword. That way he goes to sleep for a little while rather than bleeding to death, you see? It's a bit different for nobles and such, they tend to be protected enough that it won't matter what kind of weapon you use, but your average rabble-rouser will bleed like a stuck pig if you get him with something sharp. dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_2 ramun_ask_about_capturing_3|Alright, I think I understand. Anything else? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_3 ramun_ask_about_capturing_4|Well, it's not as simple as all that. Blunt weapons don't do as much damage as sharp ones, so they won't bring your enemies down as quickly. And trust me, given the chance, most of the scum you run across would just as soon kill you as look at you, so don't expect any courtesy when you pull out a club instead of a sword. Moreover, having to drag prisoners to and fro will slow down your party, which is why some people simply set their prisoners free after the fighting's done. It's madness. How could anyone turn down all that silver, eh? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_4 ramun_ask_about_capturing_5|Are you done? dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_5 ramun_ask_about_capturing_7|Just one final thing. Managing prisoners safely is not an easy thing to do, you could call it a skill in itself. If you want to capture a lot of prisoners, you should try and learn the tricks of it yourself, or you won't be able to hang on to a single man you catch. dlga_ramun_ask_about_capturing_7 ramun_pre_talk|Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. dlga_ramun_talk ramun_ask_prisoners|Is there anything else I can do with my prisoners? dlga_ramun_ask_prisoners ramun_pre_talk|If you are so inclined, you can interrogate your prisoners while camping, and offer them a chance to join your army. That of course will lower the morale of your army, and some prisoners will agree to join you just to run away back to their families. If you have a figure of authority among your prisoners, such as a Bandit Leader you can ask him to form a band out of your prisoners (you must have more than 50), and send them to raid one of your enemy's villages, or attack them directly in exchange for freedom. But the best way is always for you to sell your prisoners to me. dlga_ramun_talk ramun_leave|I'd better be going. dlga_ramun_leave close_window|Remember, any prisoners you've got, bring them to me. I'll pay you good silver for every one. dlga_start nurse_talk|I humbly request that your lordship keep his hands where I can see them. dlga_nurse_talk close_window|No problem. dlga_nurse_talk nurse_talk1|Can you tell me what it takes to convince your lady to marry me? dlga_nurse_talk1 nurse_talk2|I would gladly tell your lordship, if he finds 25 peningas in his pock..., purse. dlga_nurse_talk2 close_window|Don't think I want to pay you. dlga_nurse_talk2 nurse_talk3|Here you are. Now, speak! dlga_nurse_talk3 close_window|Thank you, your lordship. To be considered as a potential groom, you have to be a person of stature, a pledged vassal or a renowned warrior. At the very least, you should have as much renown as junior lords. Secondly, you must have good relations with the lady, and her father or guardian. Lastly, the most important component is chemistry. The chemistry between you and the lady will largely depend on your charisma, so being ugly, fat, or having a cheap beer or pickle breath would hardly come handy. If you get refused the first time, don't despair, their ladyships are known for playing hard to get, wait a few days and try again. With high persuasion, and charisma, you will eventually prevail, and the lady will agree to get married. Then go and talk to her father or guardian, and get an official blessing from him. dlga_start manhunter_talk_b|We have not come to talk, {reg59?girlie mate}.

That's one less thief to trouble our streets at night, although Heaven knows he won't be the last... Anyway, maybe you can help me with something. Let's talk more inside. Out here, we don't know who is listening. dlga_start merchant_quest_2a|Splendid work. You have hired enough men to take on the bandits. Now -- travellers entering {s9} have told us that there is a small group of robbers lurking on the outside of town. I suspect that they are all from the same band, the one that took my brother. Hunt them down and defeat them, and make them disclose the location of their lair! dlga_start merchant_quest_3a|So, you've found out where they hid my brother? Splendid work. I flatter myself that I'm a fine judge of character, and you look to be a {reg59?woman man} who can get things done. Now, go out and save his unworthy hide! dlga_start merchant_quest_3b|Well... My brother is home safe. I'm not sure what to do with him -- maybe pack him off to a university outside the Northlands. That way, if he gets knocked on the head in a street brawl, no one can say it's my fault. But that's not your problem. Here's the rest of your reward. It was well earned. dlga_merchant_quest_3b merchant_quest_4a|The money is most welcome, and I am glad to have been of service dlga_merchant_quest_4a merchant_quest_4b|Good! Now... Are you interested in making some more? dlga_merchant_quest_4b merchant_quest_4b1|Possibly. What do you need? dlga_merchant_quest_4b1 merchant_quest_4b2|Remember how I told you that the bandits had an ally inside the walls? I think I know who it is -- the captain of the watch, no less. Some months ago, this captain, seeing the amount of profit we merchants were making from trade across the frontiers, decided to borrow some money to sponsor a caravan. Unfortunately, like many who are new to commerce, he failed to realize that great profit only comes with great risk. So he sank all his money into the most expensive commodities, and of course, his caravan was captured and looted, and he lost everything. dlga_merchant_quest_4b2 merchant_quest_4b3|As a consequence, it seems, our captain turned to villainy to recoup his fortune. I supposed I'd do the same if, the Heavens forbid, I ever faced indebtedness and ruination. Now, any watch captain worth his salary will have a few thieves and robbers on his payroll, to inform on the rest, but our captain decides to employ these bastards wholesale. He brings them into the town, lets them do as they will, and takes a share of their take. You've heard of poachers turning gamekeepers? Well, in the unfortunate land of the Northlands, sometimes gamekeepers will turn poacher. Luckily, there are still a few brave, honest souls in the watch who've told me how he works. dlga_merchant_quest_4b3 merchant_quest_4b4|Now -- here's my plan. I could bring this to the attention of {s4}, lord of the city, but that would mean an inquiry, my word against the captain's, and witnesses can be bought and evidence destroyed, or maybe the whole thing will be forgotten if the enemy comes across the border again, and all I'll get for my trouble is a knife in the ribs. In time of war, you see, a king's eye wanders far from his domain, and his subjects suffer. So I've got another idea. I've got a small group of townsfolk together, some men in my employ and some others who've lost relatives to these bandits, and we'll storm the captain's home and bring him in chains before {s4}, hopefully with a few captured bandits to explain how things stack up. dlga_merchant_quest_4b4 merchant_quest_4b5|All I need now is someone to lead my little army into battle -- and I can't think of anyone better than you. So, what do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_4b5 merchant_quest_4b6|How do I know that you're telling me the truth? dlga_merchant_quest_4b6 merchant_quest_4b7|Oh, well, I suppose it's possible that I found a dozen bandits who were willing to give their lives to give a passing stranger a false impression of life in old {s4}... Well, I guess you can't really know if my word is good, but I reckon you've learned by now that my money is good, and there's another 100 peningas, or maybe a bit more, that's waiting for you if you'll do me this last little favor. So what do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_4b7 merchant_quest_4b8|All right, I'll lead your men. dlga_merchant_quest_4b7 merchant_quest_4_decline|I'm sorry. This is too much, too fast. I need time to think. dlga_merchant_quest_4b8 merchant_quest_4b9|Splendid. It's been a long time since I staked so much on a single throw of the dice, and frankly I find it exhilarating. My men are ready to move on your word. Are you ready? dlga_merchant_quest_4b9 merchant_quest_4_accept|Yes. Give them the sign. dlga_merchant_quest_4b9 merchant_quest_4_decline|Not now. I will need to rest before I can fight again. dlga_merchant_quest_4_accept close_window|Good! Now -- strike hard, strike fast, and the captain and his henchmen won't know what hit them. May the heavens be with you! dlga_merchant_quest_4_decline close_window|Right. I can keep my men standing by. If you let this go too long, then I suppose that I shall have to finish this affair without you, but I would be most pleased if you could be part of it as well. For now, take what time you need. dlga_merchant_quest_2a close_window|Very well. I shall hunt for bandits. dlga_merchant_quest_2a merchant_quest_2a_whynotcome|Why don't you come with us? dlga_merchant_quest_2a_whynotcome merchant_quest_2a|Because I'm paying you to go take care of it. That's the short answer. The long answer is that I've got some leads to follow up here in town, and I have just as much chance of getting knocked on my head as you, if that's what you're asking. But I respect your question. Now, what do you say? dlga_merchant_quest_2a close_window.1|I cannot deal with this matter at this time. dlga_merchant_quest_3a close_window|Very well.

Thank the heavens... Am I safe? dlga_start merchant_closing_statement_2|Ah... {playername}. Things didn't go quite so well as I had hoped. {s5} couldn't quite find it in him to overlook my little breach of the peace. Oh, he's grateful enough that I got rid of his crooked captain -- a guard who'll let in bandits will let in an enemy army, if the price is right -- but he can't exactly have me running around here as a lasting reminder of his failure to take care of things himself. dlga_merchant_closing_statement_2 merchant_closing_statement_3|That hardly seems fair... dlga_merchant_closing_statement_3 merchant_closing_statement_4|Fair? This is the Northlands, {reg59?my lady my boy}! Kings do what they will, and the rest of us do as they must. He didn't string me up, and instead gave me time to sell my properties -- even put in a word with the other merchants that they best pay me a fair price, too. That's gracious enough, as kings go -- but he's a weak king, as they all are here, and weak kings must always look to their authority first, and justice second. I suppose I'd do the same, in his shoes. dlga_merchant_closing_statement_4 close_window|Anyway, I wouldn't go rubbing your part in this affair in {s5}'s face -- but he's taken note of you, and decided that you're not worth hanging, and that's something to which I'll raise a glass any day of the week. He might even have work for you, further down the road. Or, you can sell your sword to one of his competitors. Anyway, I hope you've learned a bit about what it will take to stay alive in this troubled land, and I suspect that the money you've earned won't go to waste.

She is not well, but that you already know. She is very ill; is dying. Most of the time, she does not remember who she is and says strange things. The Vikings of Sven Bull Neck think she is a seidr, someone who has spirits, and they consult her about their Fate. Sven has married her because that is believed to improve luck.

Possibly a war between the King Horik and Jarl Sigurd? Who knows, this may still occur despite the Assembly. It would not be the first time. Honor and truth are very important in Danmark, and there are only two ways to satisfy their requirements with wergild or blood. The line between friendship and hatred between two neighbors sharing the land is very thin.

It's time to reveal its secrets... dlga_bodo_carta34 bodo_carta5|The trick is to read the first word after each period in the first three lines of each paragraph and read the last words before the period in the following. dlga_bodo_carta5 bodo_carta6|{s2}^^Aldefonso became king very recently, after inheriting the throne of his father. He explains at the beginning of this letter that he respects the North and continues the covenants of his father. He sends a messenger to West Seaxe -- me -- and another to Frankia. The North Sea, he says, should be made safe and the Vikings eradicated. West Seaxe is the best place from which to do this, given its proximity to Danmark. dlga_bodo_carta6 bodo_carta61|Why would the Kingdom of Asturias be worried about the Vikings? dlga_bodo_carta6 bodo_carta8|Get to the point, Bodo. dlga_bodo_carta61 bodo_carta7|{s2}^^My king, Aldefonso, is particularly concerned about the Danish, who are the ones who led the raids on his kingdom in the past. There were two particularly worrying attacks, which King Aldefonso does not want repeated. The first was about twenty-four years ago, during the reign of King Ranimiro, Aldefonso's grandfather, when the Vikings were seen near to Asturias coast with more than 120 ships and 3000 men. Ranimiro quickly gathered his men in Cantabria and Asturias and sent messages to come to Gallaecia, where the Vikings landed to cause damage. Ranimiro was a warrior king. When the Vikings arrived, he was firmly entrenched in a stronghold, so he was able to defeat them in battle and burn 70 ships. dlga_bodo_carta7 bodo_carta8|All the same, another big Viking expedition came ten years ago, in the time of King Ordonio, the father of the current king. The fleet of almost 100 ships was led by Bjorn Ironside and Haesten, Ragnar's sons. They disembarked in Gallaecia, near the tomb of Santiago, and caused much damage before they were expelled. After this King Ordonio began contacting other kingdoms in the North that had been attacked by Vikings, too, especially Frankia and West Seaxe. This letter is the finale to years of diplomatic efforts. dlga_bodo_carta8 bodo_carta9|The letter says that according to what was promised by his father, Aldefonso agrees to send 20 ships and 600 men to West Seaxe. The men are all veterans of the Muslim wars, fully equipped with chain mail, sword, spear and shield. These men, joining West Seaxe with contributions from Frankia, will cleanse the sea of Vikings. The letter details the route and the ports these men will use on their journey to West Seaxe and asks the very noble king, Aethelred of the Seaxna, to prepare accommodation and food for them. Do you see the importance of this letter, and why Sigurd Ragnarsson, or any Viking leader, for that matter, would want to intercept it? dlga_bodo_carta9 bodo_carta91|This alliance may harm the interests of the Danish and their way of life. dlga_bodo_carta9 bodo_carta92|Six hundred veteran men would allow West Seaxe to conquer other kingdoms. dlga_bodo_carta9 bodo_carta91.1|I'd rather you tell me. dlga_bodo_carta9 bodo_carta11|Honestly, I do not care. Now that we have the letter, it's time to go back to King Horik. dlga_bodo_carta92 bodo_carta91|No, you are not listening to me. This army is not to be used for conquering. It is an alliance with one objective cleanse the North Sea of Vikings. Allow me to explain. dlga_bodo_carta91 bodo_carta10|Figure that 600 veteran men from each kingdom make 1800 soldiers whose sole purpose is to finish the Vikings. We're not talking about a peasant levy but about professional warriors, well trained and well equipped. This is a huge economic burden for any one kingdom, but if they are well led -- King Aethelred's brother, Aelfred, was chosen for this -- it could free the North Sea of the tempest that now whips it. Therefore, the letter is important to my mission, so Sigurd Ragnarsson made every effort to intercept it. If he can show the letter in the Assembly and so demonstrate the danger that it portends for all of them, the Assembly will make him king with the mission of preventing this alliance. dlga_bodo_carta10 bodo_carta11|Then I will give the letter to King Horik, so it will be he who will lead the Danish. dlga_bodo_carta10 bodo_carta13|Fine. In that case, I'll give the letter to West Seaxe. dlga_bodo_carta10 bodo_carta13.1|I need to see what the Assembly decides. Then I will decide. Save it for now. dlga_bodo_carta10 bodo_carta13.2|This letter is a powerful weapon. Keep it safe. dlga_bodo_carta11 bodo_carta12|If you give this letter to King Horik or any other Norseman, he will use it to gain power and then destroy all that my kings have fought for over the years. I understand that your concerns now are the Assembly and your mother. I'll help you with that now. Later we will discuss the letter again. dlga_bodo_carta12 bodo_carta13|Fine, but don't think I'll change my mind. I will certainly give it to the Vikings. dlga_bodo_carta12 bodo_carta13.1|Fine, but don't think I'll change my mind. I will certainly give it to West Seaxe. dlga_bodo_carta12 bodo_carta13.2|Fine, we'll talk about the letter later. dlga_bodo_carta13 bodo_carta14|Well, we will tell King Horik that the letter was destroyed during the fight with Atli Eiriksson. Then he does not have to worry about Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' using it in the Assembly. This will ensure his support for your cause. dlga_bodo_carta14 close_window|Let's not waste any more time but get out of this cave. dlga_brunhild_avisa companion_brunhild_conv|Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' was in the mead hall of the jarl of Kennemer on more than one occasion. He is not just any man, my {reg59?lady lord}! You know that the jarl of Kennemer is a hard man, but he trembled before Sigurd. Sigurd doesn't say a lot, he never smiles, and his snake eyes burrow into you as if he were trying to read your thoughts. I was but a slave, but I heard things. People say that he is the most dangerous of the sons of Ragnar, a man who would kill you just for coughing nearby or for being in his way on the wrong day. dlga_companion_brunhild_conv companion_brunhild_conv3|The beautiful Brunhild is right, {playername}. From what I know, Sigurd Ragnarsson is the kind of man that one should avoid. Unfortunately, he blocks our way... dlga_companion_brunhild_conv3 companion_brunhild_conv4|I don't believe it is so bad. You can't trust the jarl of Kennemer, since he is an accomplished actor who uses every possible tool to try to manipulate others. If he saw an advantage in passing as timid before Sigurd, he would've done that. I would be very careful with him, as he's a man who smiles when you face him, and stabs you with a dagger when you turn. With Sigurd, at least, you always know where he is coming from. dlga_companion_brunhild_conv4 companion_brunhild_conv5|Reginhard is talking without knowing him. I've heard things and seen things.

Maybe Sigurd wants to be king himself. dlga_companion_brunhild_conv8 companion_brunhild_conv9|Sigurd would be stupid, then. King Horik could banish him, make him an outcast, and strip him of his lands by denouncing him for the slightest infraction at the Thing. dlga_companion_brunhild_conv9 companion_brunhild_conv10|My knowledge is limited, but perhaps Sigurd is as powerful as the king himself.

I was sent by the king of Asturias, and what I brought with me is a gift that could change the course of a war! We'll talk about this later. It is urgent now to find your mother. Sven Bull Neck was summoned by his lord, Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye' Ragnarsson. Sigurd wants this object badly. He will interrogate your mother about it, because he thinks she has the information he needs.

(Persuasion) dlga_companion_reginhard3 companion_reginhard4|{s2}^^When my family died, I joined the rebels, tough and brave men who struggle to free us from the oppression of the Danish. I fought at their side, and I was happy because being with them, always busy and fearing death, made me forget what happened to my family. dlga_companion_reginhard4 companion_reginhard41|Why are you no longer with them? dlga_companion_reginhard4 companion_reginhard42|What can you tell me about your leader? dlga_companion_reginhard4 companion_reginhard421|How can I find them? dlga_companion_reginhard421 companion_reginhard422|You cannot find them. They do not want to be found. These men fear the jarl. Thiaderd only allows people he trusts to join. dlga_companion_reginhard422 companion_reginhard423|I am trustworthy. Ask me anything you want. dlga_companion_reginhard422 companion_reginhard423.1|I think you're playing with me, and I do not like it. I'm leaving. dlga_companion_reginhard423 close_window|{s3}^^Look at me and listen. There are many people having a hard time during this rebellion, particularly the many widows and orphans. There is a woman in Dorestad who collects donations to care for these widows and orphans. Go see her and help. I think you're a good person, but show me. Talk to this woman. Her name is Adda. You can find her in the shop on the wharf. Make a donation in my name. Maybe this will help my people see me with different eyes. dlga_bodo_choiceside1 bodo_choiceside21|Bodo, remind me about your mission. dlga_bodo_choiceside1 bodo_choiceside22|Yes, I was thinking about the letter, and I've made a decision. dlga_bodo_choiceside21 bodo_choiceside22|Your memory is fragile, my friend. When we traveled in the Woden Ric, Sven Bull Neck attacked us to steal a letter that I had. That's where our history began. Sven stole the letter for Sigurd 'Snake in the Eye,' his jarl, but we recovered the letter in Northvegr. We pulled it from the hands of the corpse of Atli, the man whom Sigurd had ordered to protect the letter. Now the letter is in our possession, and we were waiting for the right time to take it to West Seaxe. This time has come. dlga_bodo_choiceside22 bodo_choiceside3|I am very happy! Without you, I would not have gotten this far. The letter will coordinate the alliance between West Seaxe, Asturias and the Franks. These three kingdoms will gather together men and ships to cleanse the North Sea of Vikings. In fact, it is possible that the fleet of Asturias is about to be sent, because my mission has been delayed. dlga_bodo_choiceside3 bodo_choiceside4_s|I would like to hear the opinions of my other companions before making a decision. dlga_bodo_choiceside3 bodo_choiceside4_1|Now, hear my decision. dlga_bodo_choiceside4_1 bodo_choiceside4_2|{playername}, I think you should listen to our opinion before deciding. dlga_bodo_choiceside4_2 bodo_choiceside4_s|Sure. dlga_bodo_choiceside4_2 bodo_choiceside9|No, I'm the leader and don't need your opinions. dlga_bodo_choiceside4_s bodo_choiceside4|I have nothing to say.

My ancestors, my family, are Vikings. The gods have granted us victory upon victory, so that we may acquire fame and wealth. This invasion we have embarked upon is in the footsteps of the sons of Ragnar in Englaland. It is a rich, fertile land worth fighting for. The Danish understand that if you can seize something, it's yours. It is for the inhabitants of the land to defend it and be worthy adversaries. dlga_bodo_choiceside41 bodo_choiceside42|The Danish are not beggars, and do not come asking for a piece of land. Danes do not ask for charity from the Saxons. We come with weapons in hand, ready to fight. If the Angles or Saxons defeat us, we will respect their victory, but if we prevail, the gods are with us and the fertile soil belongs to us. That is what I believe. If the Saxons and Franks come northward to fight and defeat the Danish, they are true warriors and the land is theirs. dlga_bodo_choiceside42 bodo_choiceside43|Your opinion will weigh heavily in my decision, Asbjorn. Thank you. dlga_bodo_choiceside42 bodo_choiceside43.1|This does not clarify anything. dlga_bodo_choiceside42 bodo_choiceside43.2|All men have the right to live without having to worry about what the sea may bring. dlga_bodo_choiceside43 bodo_choiceside5|I've said all I have to say. You have my support, whatever you decide. It doesn't matter anyway, as fate has already been written. dlga_bodo_choiceside43 bodo_choiceside5.1|Whatever you decide, I'm taking my leave and going back to Odinsve. I've made good friends in this party, but I know that now we'll be at odds. Therefore, I leave while we are still all friends. dlga_bodo_choiceside5 bodo_choiceside51|I am not as good as Asbjorn at speaking. I'm just a slave who escaped from the hands of a Danish jarl. You know what I think about the Danish, or rather certain Danes who occupy Kennemer. They come, kill and take what they want. If delivering the letter to West Seaxe means a safer North Sea, you have my support. If you deliver the letter to the Danish, on the other hand... dlga_bodo_choiceside51 bodo_choiceside6|Your opinion evens my decision, Brunhild. dlga_bodo_choiceside51 bodo_choiceside53|What? What would you do if I carry the letter to the Danish? dlga_bodo_choiceside53 bodo_choiceside6|I'll stay by your side, even though I do not like your decision. I owe you too much and have spent too much time with you to do otherwise. dlga_bodo_choiceside53 bodo_choiceside6.1|I will take another direction. I will not be part of what happens. dlga_bodo_choiceside6 bodo_choiceside7|Well... well I do not know what to say. I'm fine here. I think I'll stay with you, choose what you want. dlga_bodo_choiceside6 bodo_choiceside61|I'm not happy here. I'm sorry, but I must leave and find another person to follow. dlga_bodo_choiceside61 bodo_choiceside62|You are very important to this group, Agathinos. I want you to follow us. dlga_bodo_choiceside61 bodo_choiceside7|I see. We'll be better off without you. dlga_bodo_choiceside62 bodo_choiceside7|{s2}^^Great! Then I'll stay. dlga_bodo_choiceside7 bodo_choiceside71|It is my turn to speak. I have chosen you. I have followed you. I have fought beside you. Therefore, I think I know you better than most, {playername}. I am from Northvegr. We fought against the Danes often, and many other times we drank and laughed with them. They are like us free men who choose to live out their fate. In Danmark or Northvegr, we have laws, but Englaland does not belong to anyone that matters. They are weak kingdoms with much wealth for the taking. You cannot put a treasure in plain sight of a man, not protect it and simply hope that he does not take it. If you're an idiot, why is it his fault? dlga_bodo_choiceside71 bodo_choiceside8|Strength and Chaos? I love your idea, too, Solveig. dlga_bodo_choiceside71 bodo_choiceside8.1|Rule by force is not fair and just brings chaos. dlga_bodo_choiceside8 bodo_choiceside9|Chaos is good. I'll keep at your side no matter what happens. Too many things unite us. dlga_bodo_choiceside8 bodo_choiceside9.1|Chaos is good. Sorry, but I don't fight against free men who have merely chosen to be Vikings. dlga_bodo_choiceside9 bodo_choiceside10|{s2}^^I'm worried about all this. I thought you were on my side. We were to go to the king of West Seaxe together, but now I do not know. I sense doubt... dlga_bodo_choiceside10 bodo_choiceside111|I have no doubt, Bodo. We will go together to the king of West Seaxe. dlga_bodo_choiceside10 bodo_choiceside112|I have decided to give the letter to Rathbarth and the rest of Ragnar's sons. dlga_bodo_choiceside111 bodo_choiceside13|{s2}^^I knew you would not fail me. Well, we must go to the king of West Seaxe as soon as possible! dlga_bodo_choiceside112 bodo_choiceside14|--His face goes from bewilderment to uncontrolled fury.--^^What? Traitor!

Well, I will not stay idle. Farewell, {playername}, and hope we do not meet again... for your sake. dlga_bodo_choiceside112 bodo_choiceside14.1|{s2}^^What? Traitor! I trusted you. We have our differences and do not always get along, but I thought you'd honor your word. Not only have you failed me, but you're encouraging our enemies.

I follow you. dlga_bodo_choiceside132 bodo_choiceside15.1|Sorry, but I don't fight against free men who have merely chosen to be Vikings. I said it, and I stand by it. It's time to find a new master. I hope you are treated well in West Seaxe, {reg59?my pretty handsome}. dlga_bodo_choiceside14 bodo_choiceside141|I think you're wrong, but I'm loyal to you and follow you wherever you go. dlga_bodo_choiceside14 bodo_choiceside141.1|Our paths diverge, {playername}. Good luck. If you ever go through Friese, you might find me in my father's house... or maybe not. dlga_bodo_choiceside141 bodo_choiceside15|Well... well I am with you. dlga_bodo_choiceside141 bodo_choiceside15.1|I'm not happy here, you know. I'm leaving. I think it is time to return to Konstantinoupolis. dlga_bodo_choiceside15 close_window|It's time to get back on track. We have a mission underway. dlga_bodo_danishcamp1 bodo_danishcamp2|Ragnar's sons are in a difficult situation. Besieged by the Saxons, they can easily be destroyed. We need to talk about this. dlga_bodo_danishcamp2 bodo_danishcamp3|That would end the Danish invasion. Then the alliance would not be necessary, right? dlga_bodo_danishcamp2 bodo_danishcamp3_2|Very well. I will listen to you. dlga_bodo_danishcamp3 bodo_danishcamp3_2|Yes, in part, but Danish attacks and Vikings raids have roots deeper than this one siege. Let me explain. dlga_bodo_danishcamp3_2 bodo_danishcamp4|If you remember, {playername}, my king wants to put a stop to all the Vikings raids and safeguard his kingdom. Even if the Saxons may now force the sons of Ragnar locked in Snotingaham to surrender or kill them, there would still be other sons of Ragnar and other Danish men whose greed knows no limits. Perhaps the Saxons will get a few years of peace, adopt again old enmities with the Mercians, and forget about their alliance with the Franks and Asturians. Even so, the Danish would remain in Northhymbre, and Vikings would still infest the seas. After a few years, another leader would raise an army and would start this raiding and piracy all over again. dlga_bodo_danishcamp4 bodo_danishcamp5_1|I think what you really fear is that the Saxons can do it without Asturias' help. dlga_bodo_danishcamp4 bodo_danishcamp6|I think you're exaggerating. Gaed a wyrd swa hio scel! dlga_bodo_danishcamp4 bodo_danishcamp5_2|The Saxons could also very well attack Northhymbre and push out the Danish. dlga_bodo_danishcamp4 bodo_danishcamp5_3|I think the Danish will defeat the Saxons in Snotingaham and then continue south. dlga_bodo_danishcamp4 bodo_danishcamp6.1|What are you getting at, Bodo? dlga_bodo_danishcamp5_1 bodo_danishcamp6|You are clever, and you know me better than I thought, {playername}. My mission over the years has been to create and strengthen this alliance. Certainly, it affects me if that breaks. However, I want you to understand the full seriousness of this situation. I do not think I would exaggerate to call this a historical moment. dlga_bodo_danishcamp5_2 bodo_danishcamp6|You've been in Danmark with me. Do you really believe your words? The Danish will send more men next year, and the year after. dlga_bodo_danishcamp5_3 bodo_danishcamp6|Yes, this could happen... The Danish are people who stand up to the difficulties they face. dlga_bodo_danishcamp6 bodo_danishcamp7|I ask you not to give my diplomatic letter to the Saxons just yet. First, we must resolve this siege situation, avoiding a battle if possible, because that would hurt my mission. dlga_bodo_danishcamp7 bodo_danishcamp8_1|Honestly, without reinforcements, the Danish cannot be interested in fighting right now. dlga_bodo_danishcamp7 bodo_danishcamp8|I am not sure what to do with the letter. Calm down. dlga_bodo_danishcamp7 bodo_danishcamp8_2|I'll give it to the Saxons when I see fit. dlga_bodo_danishcamp7 bodo_danishcamp8_2.1|I'll give it to the Danish when I see fit. dlga_bodo_danishcamp7 bodo_danishcamp8.1|Do not worry, Bodo. I will follow your advice. dlga_bodo_danishcamp8_1 bodo_danishcamp8|Yes, I think so, too, but I wanted to talk to you now. dlga_bodo_danishcamp8_2 bodo_danishcamp8|When the time comes, we'll talk about this issue.

The story below is originally published on Mainichi Daily News by Mainichi Shinbun (http //mdn.mainichi.jp). They admitted inventing its kinky features, or rather deliberately mistranslating them from the original gossip magazine. In fact, this is far from the general Japanese behavior or sense of worth. このページは、毎日新聞事件の検証のための配信記事対訳ページです。直接ジャンプして来られた方は、必ずFAQをお読みください。 ※ この和訳はあくまでもボランティアの方々による一例であり、翻訳の正確さについては各自判断してください。もし誤訳（の疑い）を発見した場合には、直接ページを編集して訂正するか翻訳者連絡掲示板に報告してください。 “Girls gush over pleasures of new age bathroom relief”「女の子は新世代のトイレ補助機能の快感に夢中」 訳注 記事の問題点 記事の影響 拡散状況 関連ページ “Girls gush over pleasures of new age bathroom relief” 「女の子は新世代のトイレ補助機能の快感に夢中」 （2002年7月29日配信） Constipation can be a real pain in the ass. And dealing with menstruation is usually bloody awful, which probably goes a long way to explain why sales of toilets with built-in bidets have skyrocketed in Japan over the past decade. But, according to Shukan Gendai (8/10), washlettes, as the high tech lavatories are referred to locally, are also servicing a rapidly growing number of women s more carnal needs. Cabinet Office research into consumer durables shows that while only 14.2 percent of Japanese households had a toilet with a built-in bidet just 10 years ago, that figure has blasted up to 47.2 percent now. 便秘で、お尻にひどい痛みがある。 生理でいつもとても苦労する。こうしたことで、日本でビデ内臓のトイレが過去10年間に爆発的な売れ行きを見せたことの説明がつくと思うだろう。 だが、「週刊現代」(8/10)によると、ハイテク洗面所が一部で囁かれているのと同様に、ウォシュレットが女性の性的欲求の急速な増大に役立っているというのだ。 耐久消費財に関する内閣府の調査では、ちょうど10年前には、ビデ内臓のトイレは14.2パーセントの日本の家庭にしか普及していなかったが、現在では47.2パーセントを突破した。 "Washlettes are one of the products that have rapidly come to be regarded as an important durable consumer item," a Cabinet Office spokesman tells Shukan Gendai. "With sales growing yearly, they have probably become an indispensable item for consumers." 「ウォシュレットは急に重要な耐久消費財と考えられるようになった製品の1つです」と内閣府の広報担当者は「週刊現代」に言う。 「販売が毎年伸びて、消費者にはかなり必須の製品になっています」 Women, like the one we ll call Keiko, can t speak highly enough of the wonders of a loo equipped with a bidet. "I used to get horrible constipation. I was lucky if I went two or three times a month. I was always tired and nauseous. I was throwing up all the time. When I sought medical help, I was told that there had been too big a build-up of feces in my body," she tells Shukan Gendai, adding that she turned to the bidet for relief. 仮にケイコと呼んでおく女性は、ビデ付きのトイレの素晴らしさをうまく表現できないほどだ。 「以前はひどい便秘でした。月に2、3回行ったらいい方。いつも疲れ気味で気分が悪く、吐いてばっかりでした。 治療を受けるつもりで診てもらったら、体の中に巨大化した便が詰まっているって言われたんです」と彼女は「週刊現代」に言う。そして、よくなるためにビデを使うようになったのだ、と話を続けた。 Proctologist Masahiro Takano agrees that firing a stream of water into the backside can be an effective counter to constipation. "It s like how a mother cat licks a kitten s anus to stimulate it and expel its wastes," he says. But Keiko discovered the bidet can be even more beneficial. "One day, I turned up the water pressure up so high, the streaming gush went right up my rear. It was a wonderful stimulation. After that, I always turned the pressure up high. I can t do without my washlette now. It s got nothing to do with my constipation. I just do it for the thrill." Having experienced the pleasures from behind, Keiko decided to take a more frontal approach. "That felt fairly good, too," she says. "These washlettes can be pretty handy." 肛門科医師のタカノマサヒロは、水流をお尻の中に噴出させるのが便秘の有効な対策になるという意見に賛成する。 「母ネコが子ネコの肛門を舐めて便の排泄の刺激を促すのに似ています」と、彼は言う。 だが、ケイコは、ビデがもっと役立つことに気づいた。 「ある日、水圧を最強にしてみたら、水流の噴出がお尻の中を真っ直ぐに上ってきたんです。 すごい刺激でした。それ以来、いつも高い水圧に調整しています。 今では、ウォシュレットなしじゃいられません。もう便秘対策じゃありません。ただ、スリルを味わうためです」 お尻の快感を味わって、ケイコは気持ちのいい使い方をすることにした。 「とっても気持ちよかったんです」と、彼女は言う。 「ウォシュレットって、とっても便利ですね」 Akiko, a 29-year-old mother of a 1-year-old whose husband is frequently away from home, is also bullish on bidets. "My husband goes on a lot of business trips, meaning he s usually away from home about half of every month. I don t know about other couples, but at this age, I think that s pretty hard on me. That s not to say I can just go out and have an affair, though," she tells Shukan Gendai, adding that her life has changed since her husband left her an adult video featuring a bathroom scene where the woman clearly enjoyed using a bidet in a sexually stimulating manner. 1歳の子供の母親のアキコ(29)は、夫が常時遠くに出張しているので、ビデがお気に入りだ。 「夫はいつも毎月半分も家を空けていて、出張ばかりなのよね。 他の夫婦はどうなのかわからないけど、この年令だと、とても辛いわ。 外に出て誰かとセックスをすればいいというわけじゃないから」と、彼女は「週刊現代」に語り、次の話をした。夫からトイレの場面を映したアダルトビデオを渡されて、生活が変わってしまったというのだ。そのビデオでは、女性は性的に興奮するためにビデを楽しんでいた。 "At first, I thought it was pretty stupid and I laughed as I watched the movie. But when I went to the bathroom a bit later, I was curious and thought I d give it a try. It didn t do much for me at first, but after a few times, I started to like it." 「ビデオを観て、最初はバカみたいって思って笑ったわ。 でも、後でトイレに行って、好奇心からちょっとやってみようと思ったの。 最初はどうってこともなかったけど、何回かしているうちに、好きになってきたわ」 Adjusting the water pressure she uses in the bidet, Akiko says, allows her to increase the intensity of the thrill she gets, while sitting backwards on the cistern permits her to concentrate on the most intimate parts of her nether region. アキコの話では、ビデで使う水圧調整で、感じる刺激の強さを増すことができる。さらに、便器の後方に座ることで、彼女の股間のヒミツの部分に集中させることができる。 "Washlettes don t cost me any money, they re handy and I m not playing around on my husband, so I don t have any guilt feelings later on. Of course, I could always use adult toys, but they re fairly expensive and it s not like I could go out and buy them by myself. I could order them over the Internet, but it s always embarrassing when they re delivered," Akiko tells Shukan Gendai. "I like the washlette because I don t have to care about that stuff. I get myself off on the washlette a couple of times a week." Fortunately for women such as Keiko and Akiko, there are no apparent dangers in using built-in bidets as a sex aid. 「ウォシュレットを使うだけならお金がかかるわけじゃないし、夫といちゃいちゃできない私にはとても便利。後ろめたい気持ちはまったくないわ。 もちろん、いつも大人のオモチャを使ってたけど、とても高いのよね。自分で直接買ってくるなんてできないわ。 でも、インターネットで注文できるから。それでも、配達されたときはいつも恥ずかしいわね」と、アキコは「週刊現代」に言う。 「私はそのものを心配する必要はないので、ウォシュレットが好きです。 私はウォシュレットで自分を一度か二度1週間離します。」 幸運にも、ケイコやアキコのような女性には、セックスの助けとして内臓ビデを使っても明らかに危険性はまったくない。 "I can actually recommend the use of a washlette for masturbation," physician and sex counselor Yobun Tomina tells Shukan Gendai. "It s clean, the stimulation is soft and they re handy. The genitalia do have microbes that clean naturally and there s a chance that these could be washed away. But I don t think there s anybody out there who d keep doing it for over an hour, so it should be all right." 「実際に、ウォシュレットを使ったマスターベーションはお勧めです」と医師でセックスカウンセラーのヨブン・トミナは「週刊現代」に語った。 「ウォシュレットは清潔だし、刺激もソフトで便利です。 性器にいる細菌は自然に除去されますが、それを流し去ることができます。 まあ、1時間以上し続けるとは思えないので、問題はないでしょう」 Wako University lecturer on sex therapy Kim Myung Gun, though, sees washlette wanking as little more than a fad. "Sure, a washlette would feel very good. It s because the water offers sexual stimulation. But it seems to me that the girls doing it are very sexually immature. After a woman gives birth, her inner nether regions develop and she wants to have them stimulated. A washlette simply can t do that," Kim tells Shukan Gendai. "One day, these women will find that the washlette doesn t give them the same sort of thrill anymore. They ll look for some other type of stimulation like that which can be offered by, say, an electric toothbrush." July 29, 2002 和光大学の講師でセックス療法家のキム・ミョンガンはウォシュレットでの自慰を単なる流行だと考える。 「もちろん、ウォシュレットはとても気持ちがいいんでしょう。水が性的な刺激を与えてくれるんですからね。 でも、そんなことをしている女の子は性的にとても未熟だと思います。 出産後、女性の股間の内部が発達しますが、刺激されたいと彼女たちは考えます。 ウォシュレットではまったく無理です」と、キムは「週刊現代」に言う。 「ある日、女性たちは、ウォシュレットで同様のスリルが得られないことに気づくはずです。 そして、電動歯ブラシで得られるような別のタイプの刺激を捜し求めることになるのです」 2002年7月29日 訳注 肛門科医師タカノマサヒロは熊本県の高野病院の会長、高野正博だと思われる。 キム・ミョンガンは性人類学者で、漫画家の槇村さとると事実婚の関係にある。 両者は記事で言及されるが、猥褻な内容とは無関係。 記事の問題点 ウォシュレットは女性の性的快感のための道具として普及した。 日本の女性はウォシュレットをマスターベーションの道具だと思っている。 日本の製品名を直接出して、性的なテーマと結び付けている。 記事の影響 英語版のWikipediaでは、この記事の影響でウォシュレットが性的な道具として語られるようになった。TOTOの製品のイメージを貶め、日本人女性に対するイメージを低下させることになった。 英語版Wikipediaに日本人女性はウォシュレットで性的に刺激されているとの記述(デジタルマガジン)（2008年06月26日16時00分） Bidet, Mate?
