[苍白的正义]
铸造这把剑的目的只有一个：毁灭邪恶。虽然它是把强大的武器，「苍白的正义」却有个相当平凡的出身。这把朴素的剑是由一位名叫雷诺的人所铸造，他是一个虔诚的提尔信徒。雷诺花了三十年的时间将加工金属的技术练到炉火纯青，也因此他能制造出毫无缺点的刀刃。就在雷诺完成这把简朴的武器後，他立刻便将之奉献给提尔教会。收到这把剑的牧师将它放在修道院的祭坛上。他要求教会中的弟兄们与他一同向提尔祷告，愿 赋予这把剑神圣的力量。然而弟兄们却从来都不碰这把剑，甚至从不提到它。十年後，当其他牧师们都已放弃对这把剑赋予神力，发起的牧师伊丹，却持续默默地祷告著。又过了二十年，提尔依旧没有显示任何神迹。前来拜访的海姆牧师嘲笑伊丹盲目地信仰著这把剑。这时，伊丹突然起身走向祭坛，轻柔地将尘封已久的剑从祭坛上拿下。
海姆的牧师问伊丹，你是不是终於恢复理智了。伊丹回答说，自己一直都很清醒，然而过去却对提尔企求了错误的事物。他说提尔早在很久以前就完成了这件事。
海姆的牧师放声嘲笑伊丹的这番声明，并叫他的贴身护卫拔出剑来。海姆守卫手中的华丽武器，护手上镶嵌著珍珠、刀刃上刻满了符文，还镶有一堆细小的红宝石。海姆的牧师笑著说。你的武器就像是一般士兵带的刀，跟我们的比起来实在逊色多了。
伊丹平静地握住剑柄，将剑挥向海姆守卫的武器。海姆牧师的笑声很快地消失了，他只能死盯著守卫的断剑瞧。当伊丹放下剑，海姆牧师不发一言地呆力在原处。伊丹说：
「正义跟虚荣、虚有其表的力量相比，本来就是逊色而苍白的。然而我却期待提尔能在这把剑上，以闪电或火焰来彰显其神迹。我早该想起这把剑是如何交到自己手里的....只是由於单纯的博爱与谦卑。正义适用在每个人身上，不论贫富贵贱，不论知识高低。不论在农夫的田里或战场上，正义无所不在。」
伊丹把剑交到当地的武器店里，订作了一个木制、包裹皮革的护手。接著他便把剑交给了一位新任的圣武士，并教导他永远要记得人类心中慈爱与良善的潜能。

Pale Justice
This sword was made with one purpose: to destroy evil. Though a powerful
weapon, Pale Justice has humble beginnings. The plain sword was crafted by a
devout worshipper of Tyr named Renold. Renold spent thirty years of his life
perfecting the metalworking techniques that allowed him to craft an almost
flawless blade. As soon as Renold had completed the unadorned weapon, he
turned it over to the church of Tyr. The priest who received it placed the
naked blade on his monastery\'s altar. He asked his brothers to join him in
praying to Tyr to ask their god to bless the weapon with holy power. The
brothers never touched the blade, nor did they speak of it. After ten years,
despite the fact that all of the other brothers lost faith in the blade ever
becoming enchanted, the original priest, Edan, continued his prayers in
silence. Another twenty years passed, and there was still no sign from Tyr.
Visiting priests of Helm scoffed at Edan\'s blind devotion to the blade. It
was then that, without warning, Edan walked up to the altar and gently
removed the dust-covered blade from the altar.
The priest of Helm asked Edan if he had finally come to his senses. Edan
replied that he had, that he had been expecting the wrong thing from Tyr the
entire time. He stated that Tyr had done his work long ago.
The priest of Helm laughed out loud at Edan\'s claim and asked his bodyguard
to draw his sword. The magnificent weapon in the hand of the Helmite had a
gilded guard set with pearls. Runes were etched along the blade, with a
small cluster of fine rubies set in the ricasso. The priest of Helm laughed
again and spoke. \"This is truly a sword blessed by the gods. Your weapon
looks like an ordinary soldier\'s blade. It pales in comparison.\"
Edan calmly grabbed the blade by the tang and swatted at the guard\'s weapon.
The priest of Helm\'s laughter cut off quickly as he stared down at his
retainer\'s broken weapon. He stood there speechless as Edan set the blade
down and began to reply.
\"Justice always pales in comparison to vanity and ostentatious displays of
power. I expected Tyr to manifest his divine will in this blade with
lightning and fire. I should have remembered how the blade was given to
me... with simple charity and humility. Justice is the right of every man,
no matter how rich or poor, no matter how educated or ignorant. It should be
found as often in the fields of farmers as it is in the fields of battle.\"
Edan took the blade to a local weapon smith and had him put a wooden, leather
wrapped grip on it. He then gave it to a fledgling paladin and asked him to
always remember the potential for charity and kindness in the human race.
见没人提到。呵呵。 |
