His feet carried him through corridor after dark corridor, soft steps echoing in the stillness. He could feel something in these halls calling to him, drawing him near. He turned a corner and there it was, what he somehow knew he would find. A door, seemingly hewn from the surrounding stone. While it bore no handle, it had a series of inscrutable markings engraved in its surface.

H是脚在黑暗的走廊后抬着他穿过走廊，柔软的脚步在静ness中回荡。 他在这些大厅里感觉到某种声音在呼唤他，将他拉近了。 他转过弯，在那里，他以某种方式知道自己会找到什么。 一扇门，看似是从周围的石头凿出的。 虽然没有手柄，但其表面刻有一系列难以理解的标记。

Baldric stopped in front of the door to study it, its gleaming green inscriptions casting a soft light down the corridor. While the writing appeared to have some sort of five-part structure, it was wholly unintelligible. The carvings of a madman. Or perhaps it was scrambled by some sort of code…but if so, how to crack it?

鲍德瑞克在门前停下来研究它，其闪闪发光的绿色铭文在走廊上投射出柔和的灯光。 尽管该作品似乎具有五部分结构，但却是完全难以理解的。 疯子的雕刻。 还是它被某种代码打乱了……但如果是这样，如何破解呢？

Noticing footsteps, Baldric turned to see a faceless man in heavy red and black armor slowly walking towards him. The space around the man was gray, as if the color was being leeched away by his presence. The man stopped and extended his arm, and a massive wicked-looking axe materialized in his hand. The blade glowed a deep blood red and a horde of demonic forms sprung from the shadows, howling and blanketing the corridor as they swarmed forth.

鲍德瑞克注意到了脚步，转过身去，看到一个身穿红色和黑色重甲的不露面男人慢慢向他走来。 这个男人周围的空间是灰色的，仿佛是他在场的颜色正在渗出。 该名男子停下脚步，伸了伸胳膊，手中出现了一根看上去很邪恶的大斧头。 叶片发出深红色的血红色，阴影中涌出了一大批恶魔般的形态，它们蜂拥而至，笼罩着走廊。

In horror, Baldric spun back towards the door, thinking frantically. He felt something surge through his body, and time seemed to slow as ethereal threads sprang into being before him. Mentally, he wove the threads in complex patterns directed at the door and, miraculously, began to understand the engravings. He could feel mountains of calculations being performed by his weavings, the mysterious text’s encoding cracking under their computational weight.

惊恐的是，鲍德瑞克疯狂地回头朝门走去。 他感觉到自己身上有些东西在涌动，随着空灵线的出现，时间似乎在变慢。 从心理上讲，他编织了针对门的复杂图案的线，并奇迹般地开始理解版画。 他可以感觉到编织在进行大量的计算，而神秘文字的编码在其计算权重之下开裂。

After a couple of seconds that seemed an eternity, he read the final piece of the message and uttered a word. Only one, simple word. With that, the heavy stone door swung open and a blinding white light poured through. Feeling the demons nearly on top of him, Baldric leapt into the light, and was obliterated.

几秒钟似乎是永恒之后，他阅读了信息的最后一段并说了一个字。 只有一个，简单的单词。 这样，沉重的石头门打开了，令人眼花blind乱的白光直射而过。 鲍德瑞克感到恶魔几乎在他的头上，跳入了光明，was灭了。
