Albert is simply unbelievable, oneself follow Sylas to arrive at seven and 1/2 platforms unexpectedly like this bewilderedly, will prepare to ride that soon to go to the steam train of unknown area. 艾伯特简直难以置信,自己居然就这样莫名其妙地跟着塞拉来到七又二分之一站台,准备乘坐那辆即将前往未知地区的蒸汽列车。 The deep-red steam train anchors by the platform, travels by the passenger figure of this class train to be few, two staff in entrance punch ticket. 深红色蒸汽列车就停靠在站台旁,搭乘这班列车的乘客数量很少,两名工作人员正在入口处剪票。 In the platform is setting up the block signboard, above is the train visits the road map of Europe, in the signboard labels each in detail by the standing Wizard village. 站台上立着块招牌,上面是列车环游欧洲的路线图,招牌上详细标注出每个靠站的巫师村落。 Recently a stand was Hogsmeade Village, the entire journey must spend five days of unexpectedly. 最近一站是霍格莫德村,全程居然要花费五天的时间。 Sylas does not know that said anything with the gateman, gives two people to introduce the destination of trip to the convenience very much warmly: France's Nikolai Village. 塞拉不知道与剪票员说了什么,对方便很热情地给两人介绍起此行的目的地:法国的尼古拉村。 It is said that there is the Nicolas Flamel native place. 据说,那里是尼可·勒梅的老家。 After Nicolas Flamel becomes famous, France's Wizard the name of village changing, taking advantage of the birth of this commemorative great Alchemist. 在尼可·勒梅出名后,法国的巫师们就将村子的名字给改了,借此纪念伟大的炼金术师的诞生。 The staff are drawing the small leather suitcase, leading two people to arrive at their personal theater boxes, after opening the compartment door, inside is within the spacious room, two single beds, the arrangement in room is simple. 工作人员拉着小皮箱,带着两人来到他们的私人包厢,打开车厢门后,里面是间宽敞的房间,有两张单人床,房间里的布置简单舒适。 „Why does not use floo network and Apparition, or portkey(s)?” “为什么不使用飞路网、幻影显形,或者门钥匙？” Albert puts away for them the leather suitcase in that staff, closes after them the compartment gate leaves, asks the own first doubts. 艾伯特在那名工作人员替他们将皮箱放好,替他们关上车厢门离开后,问出了自己的第一个疑惑。 „Uses portkey(s) to be the illegal immigration.” Sylas reminded well-meaning, „thinks direct Apparition to another country, the difficulty was very high, was not worth taking risk, moreover my previous time went to Nikolai Village, is ten years ago, had blurred to there memory.” “使用门钥匙属于非法入境。”塞拉善意地提醒道,“想直接幻影显形到另一个国家,难度很高,不值得我们冒险,而且我上次去尼古拉村,已经是十年前了,对那里的记忆早已经模糊了。” „That floo network?” “那飞路网呢？” „Naturally can arrive in France directly, but Mr. Nicholas has helped us purchase in advance the train ticket ahead of time, our how feeling all right makes him spend Sylas to sit on the sofa for no reason white/in vain”, said with a smile, „. Moreover, to you, isn't this very good experience?” “当然可以直接抵达法国,但尼古拉斯先生已经帮我们提前预购了火车票,我们又怎么好意思让他平白无故白花钱呢”塞拉坐在沙发上,笑着说道,“而且,对你来说,这难道不是一次很棒的体验吗？” Albert does not have the spoken language to be right immediately, this saying said really makes sense. 艾伯特顿时无言语对,这话说得实在太有道理了。 The first-class cabin of here similar airplane, the price is not definitely cheap. 这里类似飞机的头等舱,价格肯定也不便宜。 „How much money?” “多少钱？” „Person 50 galleons, food provides free.” Sylas referred to the menu on table saying, „wants a list, the thing to appear.” “一个人五十加隆,食物是免费提供的。”塞拉指了指桌上的菜单说道,“只要点单,东西就会出现。” „I think Wizard will not enjoy the life.” Albert self-ridicules saying that gave itself to select the Italy lobster seafood surface meal conveniently. “我原本以为巫师不会享受生活。”艾伯特自嘲道,随手就给自己点了份意大利的龙虾海鲜面套餐。 No wonder the Sylas breakfast reminded him do not eat. 难怪塞拉早餐提醒他不要多吃。 „In fact, most Wizard will not sit the luxurious compartment.” Sylas guessed correctly probably the idea of Albert, speaking thoughtlessly answered, „this was to the compartment that certain special customers prepared, therefore I said that best not to waste this opportunity.” “事实上,大部分的巫师不会坐豪华车厢。”塞拉大概是猜到艾伯特的想法,随口解释道,“这是给某些特别的顾客准备的车厢,所以我才说最好别浪费这次机会。” „What do you go to Nikolai Village to make?” Albert puts down the menu, is looking at front this old person, he thought that this matter is not obviously simple. “你去尼古拉村做什么？”艾伯特放下菜单,望着面前这位老人,他觉得这件事显然没那么简单。 Sylas arrives at the gate, after the definite door lock lives, in room some magic, sat on the sofa, said leisurely, „we must visit a person.” 塞拉走到门边,确定门锁住后,又在房间里施了某种魔法,才又重新坐回沙发上,慢条斯理地说道,“我们要去拜访一个人。” „I also think Nicolas in Devon.” Albert guessed correctly that person that Sylas said who was. “我还以为尼可在德文郡。”艾伯特猜到塞拉说的那人是谁了。 „They were dying, does not know how Dumbledore convinced Mr. and Mrs. Flamel to give up Philosopher's Stone.” “他们快死了,也不知道邓布利多如何说服勒梅夫妇放弃魔法石。” Mentioned this matter, the Sylas tone was very complex, „we need to treat for three days in France, you can find time to participate this year at the France international Wizard's Chess competition.” 说起这件事,塞拉语气很复杂,“我们需要在法国待上三天,你可以抽空去参加今年在法国举办的国际巫师棋比赛。” „Doesn't that competition need to register ahead of time?” “那种比赛不需要提前报名吗？” Albert, tone, „who helped me register at this point suddenly.” 艾伯特说到这里,语气忽然一顿,“谁帮我报名了。” On the Quest panel presents new Quest, eight parts is related with the international Wizard's Chess competition. 任务面板上又出现新的任务,八成与国际巫师棋比赛有关。 „Bud registered for you ahead of time, he thinks that you will be interested.” Sylas said, „that fellow once was the Wizard's Chess champion, had the recommendation quota.” “巴德提前替你报名了,他认为你会感兴趣。”塞拉说道,“那家伙曾经是巫师棋冠军,有推荐名额。” In fact, the Wizard quantity of every year attending the international Wizard's Chess competition will not be many. 事实上,每年参加国际巫师棋比赛的巫师数量也不会太多。 „Naturally, this is not the key point.” “当然,这不是重点。” Albert just prepared to say anything, heard Sylas to continue, „ Nicolas also kept a thing to you, we thought that you passed with the opposite party personally cannot meet are quite good. 艾伯特刚准备开口说些什么,就又听到塞拉继续说,“尼可也给你留了点东西,我们觉得你还是亲自过去跟对方见上一面比较好。 ” Albert was silent. ”艾伯特沉默了。 He thought that many messy matters pushed in one, going to U.S saw Nicholas becomes is not so on the contrary important. 他觉得很多乱七八糟的事都挤在一块了,前往美国见尼古拉斯反倒成为不那么重要了。 During the speeches, the train rocked suddenly, starts to drive out of King's Cross Station slowly. 说话间,列车忽然晃动了一下,开始缓慢驶出国王十字车站。 Albert side is looking at outside the glass the scenery that backs up rapidly, cold did not ask lonely, „who was Nicholas? You should explain to me.” 艾伯特侧头望着车窗外正在迅速倒退的风景,冷不伶仃地问道,“尼古拉斯是谁？你是不是应该给我解释一下了。” Until now, Sylas and Bud not to his explicit explanation. 至今,塞拉与巴德都未给他明确的解释。 No one will like being concealed or deceived. 没人会喜欢被隐瞒或者欺骗。 „John Nicholas is U.S Alchemist.” Sylas puts down the teacup, pulls out a bag from the pocket, inside thinks of floo powder. “约翰·尼古拉斯是美国的炼金术师。”塞拉放下茶杯,从口袋里掏出一个袋子,里面装着飞路粉。 „It is not I must visit him, but is you needs to visit him, but also remembers I have spoken words?” Sylas lowers the sound saying that „besides me, three, Nicholas is responsible for that side the Americas, you need to deal with him sooner or later, currently is pushy while me, leads you personally in the past.” “不是我要去拜访他,而是你需要去拜访他,还记得我说过的话吗？”塞拉压低声音说道,“除了我,还有三个,尼古拉斯负责美洲那边,你迟早需要跟他打交道,趁我现在还有精力,亲自带你过去一趟。” „That side U.S, they are not willing to go.” “美国那边,他们不愿意去。” „Why?” “为什么？” „That side is not free, you will go to know.” “那边不自由,你去了就会知道了。” Sylas pulls out a picture from the pocket, advances the Albert front, in the picture is over 60-year- old person and a blonde young girl. 塞拉又从口袋里掏出一张照片,推到艾伯特的面前,照片上是一名年过六旬的老人与一名金发少女。 The two people on picture are smiling toward him, that blonde young girl seems like a fine porcelain doll. 照片上的两人正在朝着他微笑,那位金发少女看上去像个精致的瓷娃娃。 „That is the Nicholas successor, is her granddaughter, probably called Catherine, this year should just graduate from Ilvermorny Wizarding School.” Sylas said, „Catherine is also a talent. Naturally, the talent is less than you and that's the end.” “那是尼古拉斯的继承人,也是她的孙女,好像叫凯萨琳,今年应该刚从伊法魔尼魔法学校毕业。”塞拉说道,“凯萨琳也是个天才。当然,天赋不及你就是了。” In the eye of Sylas, Albert is for several hundred years talent most outstanding Wizard. 在塞拉的眼里,艾伯特是几百年来天赋最优秀的巫师。 „Why aren't others willing to go to U.S?” “为什么其他人都不愿意去美国？” Albert ate emerging out of thin air Italy lobster noodles, inquired the reason curiously. 艾伯特吃了一口凭空出现的意大利龙虾面,好奇地询问原因。 „Had had some not too happy matter.” Sylas curls the lip saying: „That national you have not imagined like that happy, U.S management of Ministry of Magic to Wizard is very strict, you need to pay attention to many things.” “曾经发生过一些不太愉快的事情。”塞拉撇了撇嘴道:“那个国家没你想象中那般美好,美国的魔法部对巫师的管理很严格,你需要注意很多事。” „Because of the relations of muggle?” “因为麻瓜的关系吗？” Albert naturally guessed correctly the reason. 艾伯特自然猜到了理由。 „U.S Wizard has to hide cautiously, so as to avoid muggle discovers their existences” “美国巫师不得不小心翼翼地躲起来,免得麻瓜发现他们的存在” „The matter that yes, it seems like you know are more than imagination.” Sylas nods saying: „muggle, although will not use magic, but they have not imagined small and weak, once they realized that existence of Wizard, will create to us greatly troublesome.” “是的,看来你知道的事情比想像中更多。”塞拉点了点头说道:“麻瓜虽然不会使用魔法,但他们没想像中弱小,一旦他们意识到巫师的存在,就会给我们造成大麻烦。” „The relation between muggle imagines you are closer , the information propagation velocity is quick, once some people of existences that discovers magical world, will not need for several hours to make the entire U.S most people to know.” Albert is very clear the existence of these people's after discovering Wizard will make anything. “麻瓜之间的联系比你们想象地更加紧密,信息地传播速度很快,一旦有人发现魔法界的存在,不用几个小时就会闹得整个美国大半的人都知道。”艾伯特很清楚那些人在发现巫师的存在后会做什么。 No one likes having the strength that is unable to be grasped threatens own security, to control in that country, this matter will not be allowed specially absolutely. 没人喜欢有无法被掌握的力量威胁到自己的安全,特别对那个国家的掌控者来说,这种事绝对不会被容许。 „These muggle.” Sylas said suddenly, „once near Nevada Las Vegas, tested a horrifying weapon of named nuclear bomb, lives in Wizard of that region the unexpected misfortune.” “那些麻瓜。”塞拉忽然说道,“曾经在内华达州拉斯维加斯附近,测试一种名为核弹的可怕武器,生活在那片区域的巫师惨遭无妄之灾。” „Nuclear bomb experiment” the corners of the mouth of Albert twitch slightly. “核弹实验”艾伯特的嘴角微微抽搐。 „Their protection to the muggle is strict, treats Dementor like most Wizard.” Sylas said, „U.S Ministry of Magic not only forbids Wizard and muggle is related through marriage, Wizard were also requested to take care of oneself child strictly, does not allow them to have the magic power rebellion to provode the unrest in front of muggle.” “他们对麻瓜的防备非常严格,就像大部分巫师对待摄魂怪一样。”塞拉说道,“美国魔法部不仅禁止巫师与麻瓜通婚,巫师们也被严格要求照顾好自己的孩子,不允许他们在麻瓜面前发生魔力暴动引发骚乱。” „The U.S Ministry of Magic's prison definitely closed/pass many people!” Albert cannot bear the ridicule say. “美国魔法部的监狱肯定关了不少人吧！”艾伯特忍不住嘲笑道。 „It is said is fully occupied.” Sylas curls the lip saying that „violates Statute of Secrecy is the grave offense.” “据说人满为患。”塞拉撇了撇嘴道,“违反保密法是重罪。” „Has the matter that anything needs to pay attention.” “有什么需要注意的事情。” „Is short with U.S Ministry of Magic has to do, we go to that country by a visiting friends intent, whole time will treat in the Nicholas small farm, will not be much the opportunity that group of fellows deal with.” Sylas said: „Right, you should not have the belt/bring what strange thing!” “少跟美国的魔法部打交道,我们是以访友的名意去那个国家的,大部分的时间都会待在尼古拉斯的小农场里,跟那群家伙打交道的机会不会太多。”塞拉说道:“对了,你应该没有带什么奇怪的东西吧！” „Strange thing?” Albert redundant say/way. “奇怪的东西？”艾伯特重复道。 „Other magical item besides wand.” Sylas added that „best do not use wand.” “除了魔杖外的其他魔法物品。”塞拉补充道,“最好连魔杖都不要使用。” „No, I only brought some galleons and Two-way mirror. However, I do not know that galleons in other country is similarly suitable.” “没有,我只带了一些加隆与双面镜。不过,我不知道加隆在别的国家是不是同样适用。” Before Albert comes, locked in the thing in Mokeskin pouch the cabinet completely. 艾伯特来前,把变形蜥蜴皮袋里的东西全部锁进柜子里了。 „galleons can also certainly use, is will be quite troublesome, they use Dragot generally.” “加隆当然也可以使用,就是会比较麻烦,他们一般使用卓锅。” Sylas pulls out the purse from own pocket, puts the Albert front, inside is some similar galleons gold coins, that side magic currency system and Britain are similar. 塞拉从自己的口袋里掏出钱袋,放到艾伯特的面前,里面是一些类似加隆的金币,那边的魔法货币体系与英国差不多。 And, Albert also discovers several Franklin. 其中,艾伯特还发现好几张富兰克林。 „Strict of quite U.S Wizard to magic monetary management, does not give goblin to handle.” Sylas thinks to add, „that side entire magical world is passing depressing atmosphere.” “美国巫师对魔法货币管理的比较严格,并不是交给妖精打理。”塞拉想了想补充道,“那边整个魔法界都透着一股压抑的气氛。” In fact, besides Britain, the Wizard banks in other countries is managed by Ministry of Magic. 事实上,除英国外,其他国家的巫师银行都由魔法部管理。 galleons is very popular in magical world, basically can be acknowledged. 加隆在魔法界很受欢迎,基本上都能得到承认。 This is unable to be been related by the copy with the goblin coin. 这与妖精硬币无法被仿造有关。 „This row of number represents casting coin goblin.” Sylas pulls out galleons, referred to the edge having a row of number saying that „this was also the reason that they are unable to be copied.” “这排数字代表铸造这枚硬币的妖精。”塞拉掏出一枚加隆,指了指边缘有一排数字说道,“这也是它们无法被仿造的原因。” The food on train is very good, after eliminating the food in plate, Albert by the sofa, side looks at the scenery that passed over gently and swiftly to out of the window fast reluctantly. 列车上的食物很不错,在消灭完盘里的食物后,艾伯特懒懒地靠在沙发上,侧头望向窗外飞快掠过的风景。 The train was still still dashing, the following journey is arid, Sylas suggested that on his lying down bed rested, gave back to a parchment, it is said above recorded is going to something needing attention after U.S. 列车仍然还在飞奔,接下来的旅程非常枯燥,塞拉建议他躺床上休息,还给了张羊皮纸,据说上面记载着前往美国后的一些注意事项。 „I am very curious, actually this train how delivers to continental Europe Wizard village the passenger.” Albert covers a yawn, inquired, „we leap North Sea, passed from the seabed?” “我很好奇,这辆列车究竟是怎么将乘客送到欧洲大陆巫师村落。”艾伯特捂住一个哈欠,询问道,“我们将飞跃北海,还是从海底通过？” „Since the seabed passes, this train will go to sea from Moray Firth, arrives in sea opposite Denmark across North Sea directly.” Sylas draws in the cotton thread, obviously prepares to lie on the bed rests, to an old person, the outward passage consumed energy. “从海底通过,这辆列车会从马里湾下海,穿过北海直接抵达海对面的丹麦。”塞拉拉上布帘,显然准备躺在床上休息,对一位年迈的老人来说,外出旅行还是太消耗精力了。
