10月9日是行秋的生日,來看看郵件吧~
Recently, I saw a Fatui Agent harassing a shop owner and intervened. I didn't expect he'd come back today asking for a duel, especially after his recent defeat.
He is a crook and I fully expect a nefarious ambush behind his challenge. But if I turn him down, he would only get even more brazen.
After much thought, I came up with a plan: publicly agree to the duel and ask someone to hide in the shadows, ready to collect evidence. Once the time is right, my ally will jump out to join forces with me and capture this ruffian along with his accomplices in one fell swoop.
As for that ally... you are my first choice, for you possess excellent physical prowess and a strong sense of justice.
Your remuneration and victuals have been prepared, and I await your response to my invitation.
精讀如下:
Recently, I saw a Fatui Agent harassing a shop owner and intervened.
近來,我路見一名債務處理人勒索商戶,便上前制止了一番。
I didn't expect he'd come back today asking for a duel, especially after his recent defeat.
沒想到他才敗在我的劍下不久,今日卻又跳了出來,到處揚言要找我決鬥。
He is a crook and I fully expect a nefarious ambush behind his challenge. But if I turn him down, he would only get even more brazen.
這廝心術不正,此番邀約,必有埋伏。但若是我直接回絕,他今後恐怕會更加囂張跋扈。
After much thought, I came up with a plan: publicly agree to the duel and ask someone to hide in the shadows, ready to collect evidence.
思前想後,我有一計——我公開應邀,另設奇兵藏於暗處,伺機捕捉證據。
Once the time is right, my ally will jump out to join forces with me and capture this ruffian along with his accomplices in one fell swoop.
等時機一到,這名奇兵便可現身為我解圍,再與我聯手,將這廝和他的同夥一網打盡。
As for that ally... you are my first choice, for you possess excellent physical prowess and a strong sense of justice.
至於我想到的奇兵…這首選之人便要數身手不凡、心懷俠義的閣下。
Your remuneration and victuals have been prepared, and I await your response to my invitation.
報酬和吃食早已備好,靜候閣下應約。
