Early in the morning, Albertopens the eyes, satfrom the bedsuddenly.清晨,艾伯特睁开双眼,猛然从床上坐了起来。Does not know that what's the matter, hehad a verystrangedream.
不知怎么回事,他做了个很古怪的梦。
After the dreamprobably...... heandIzabelmarries, Catherineled a child, said that ishis daughter.
梦里好像……他与伊泽贝尔结婚后,凯萨琳带了个孩子,说是他的女儿。Then, Izabelseizeshisneck, said did oneselfbetrayher?
然后,伊泽贝尔就掐住他的脖子,说自己背叛了她?„Isanymessydreams.”Albertputs out a handto cover the cheeks, muttered.
“都是些什么乱七八糟的梦。”艾伯特伸手捂住脸颊,喃喃道。BecauseCatherineis longtooattractively, whatmakinghimproduceimproper ambition, thereforehadthisstrangedream?
难道,因为凯萨琳长得太漂亮,让他产生什么非分之想,所以做了这种奇怪的梦?Albertthought that thismatteris quite absurd.艾伯特觉得这件事相当荒唐。Hecovered a yawn, raised the headto sweep the eyestrangeroom, the line of sightfellon the clothes that on the tableplacedneatly.
他捂住了一个哈欠,抬头扫了眼陌生的房间,视线落在桌上整齐摆放的衣服上。Changes the clothes, gets out of bedto wash, Albertthengoes to the living roomdirectly.
换上衣服,起床洗漱好,艾伯特便直接前往起居室。Twoold people, have not knownhereis chattinganything, saw after him, greetedwith a smile.
两位老人已经在这里了,不知在聊些什么,看到他后都笑着打招呼。„Good morning, did Mr. Anderson, restlast nightfortunately?”
“早上好,安德森先生,昨晚睡得还好吗?”„It is not quite good.”Albertmoved a neckslightly, „possiblygoes to the strangeplace, restsis not familiar with!”
“不太好。”艾伯特稍微活动了一下脖子,“可能是来到陌生的地方,睡得不太习惯吧!”NicholasgivesAlbertThe New York Ghostwith a smile.尼古拉斯笑着将纽约幽灵报递给艾伯特。„The The New York Ghostreporterknows that youinU.S, theywere looking foryoueverywhere.”Nicholasreminded: „Theywantto interviewobviously, your in history, youngestinternationalWizard's Chesschampion.”
“纽约幽灵报的记者知道你在美国了,他们正在到处找你。”尼古拉斯提醒道:“他们显然想要采访一下,你这位有史以来,最年轻的国际巫师棋冠军。”
The abovealsointerview, thatWizardnamedCarter, spokemanyAlbertmalicious remarks.
上面还有一段采访,那位叫卡特的巫师,说了不少艾伯特的坏话。„No matterwherenewspaper, unavoidablyeye-catching.” After Albertwatchesownthatsomereports, placesonThe New York Ghost the tableconveniently.
“不管哪里的报纸,都免不了博人眼球。”艾伯特看完自己的那部分报道后,就随手将纽约幽灵报放在桌上。„Very normal, only ifyourselfopen the family/homenewspaper office.”Nicholassaidwith a smile.
“很正常,除非你自己开家报社。”尼古拉斯笑着说道。Quick, House-elfprovides the sumptuousbreakfast, has the milk, the croissant, fries the sausage, to fry the potato, fries the egg, fries the shiitake mushroom, the tomato, onebigspooncooks the rottenpeanut.
很快,家养小精灵送上丰盛的早餐,有牛奶,牛角包,煎香肠、煎土豆,煎鸡蛋,煎香菇,西红柿,还有一大勺炖烂的花生。
Similar to the Britain'sbreakfast.
和英国的早餐差不多。Orfor the photosolidifiestwo peoplediets, will therefore preparesuchbreakfast.
或者说,为了照固两人的饮食,所以才会准备这样的早餐。„Didn't MissCatherinehave?”
“凯萨琳小姐还没起来吗?”
When Albertdines, withoutseeing the Catherinea littlesmallaccident/surprise, thenspoke thoughtlesslyto askone.艾伯特用餐时,没见到凯萨琳有点小意外,便随口问了一句。„Shehas the matter, in the morningleftahead of time.”Nicholas said that „, but, Catherineruns intoyouvery muchhappily, was a little givento attackbyyou.”
“她有事,早上就提前离开了。”尼古拉斯笑着说,“不过,凯萨琳很高兴遇到你,就是有点被你给打击到了。”„Was attackedbyme?”
“被我打击到?”„Yes, Catherinetalent, whenis very small, was unearthedbyme. Afterwardwent toIlvermornymagicHouse, thenshows the astonishingtalentimmediately, becomestalent that in the schoolbecomes famous.”Nicholasdrank a smallmilk, recalls: „Is only, because the hour later relations, hercharacter has been eccentric, nofriend.”
“是的,凯萨琳的天赋在很小的时候,就被我挖掘出来。后来去伊法魔尼魔法学院,便立刻展现出惊人的天赋,成为学校里出了名的天才。”尼古拉斯喝了一小口的牛奶,回忆道:“只是,因为小时后的关系,她的性格一直都比较孤僻,没什么朋友。”Whydoes not know, Albertsmells the unusualflavor, has not said that continuesto eat mealearnestly.
不知为何,艾伯特嗅出一点不寻常的味道,也没接话,继续埋头吃饭。Actually, IzabelshouldverymakeCatherinefriendappropriately, both sidesare the talents, it is estimated thatwill havemanytopicsto chat, butthatdream of morning, makingAlberttotallygive upgiving the opposite partyto brief the Izabelthought.
其实,伊泽贝尔应该挺合适做凯萨琳的朋友,双方都是天才,估计会有很多话题可以聊,但早上的那个梦,让艾伯特彻底放弃给对方介绍伊泽贝尔的念头。
After finishing the breakfast, two peoplewent to the Nicholasworkshop, ingroceries outside villa, insidewas executedUndetectable Extension Charm, inroomneatis placinglarge number ofAlchemyequipment, evenwas more exaggerating than the Nicholasfamily/home.
结束早餐后,两人就去了尼古拉斯的工坊,就在别墅外的一间杂货间里,里面被施了无痕伸展咒,房间里整齐的摆放着大量的炼金术设备,甚至比尼古拉斯的家里还要夸张。„Is this darkpowder?”
“这是黑暗粉?”Sylassaw that was placedmagical itemontableat will, will seethisthingslightlysurprisedlyhere.塞拉看到被随意摆放在桌上的魔法物品,略微惊讶会在这里看到这玩意。„According toyoursuggestion, Imakesstealthsmoke bombit.”Nicholasis pointing atstealthsmoke bombtotheirintroduced: „Naturally, your wrap/setsraised the craft, had been improvedseveraltimes. Nowthat sidePeruhas been ableto stabilizecontinuesto deliver the darkpowder. InBlack MarkethasmanyWizardto likethisthingvery much, is very suitableto be usedto escape.”
“按照你的建议,我将它制造成隐身烟雾弹。”尼古拉斯指着隐身烟雾弹向他们介绍道:“当然,你的那套提起工艺,已经被改良过好几次了。现在秘鲁那边已经能够稳定持续产出黑暗粉。黑市里有不少巫师都很喜欢这玩意,很适合用来逃跑。”„Thatis notIraises,”Sylasreferred toAlbertsaying,„youdid not mindmademehave a look atyournew technology?”
“那可不是我提出来的,”塞拉指了指艾伯特说道,“你不介意让我看看你的新技术吧?”„Did not mind.”
“不介意。”Nicholasto the fabrication technology that theydemonstrate the darkpowder, hedid not worry that the opposite partywill make moneywiththis,尼古拉斯给他们演示黑暗粉的制造工艺,他并不担心对方会拿这个去赚钱,Becausethat sidePerualreadygave the monopolybyhimandhisfriend. Looks that Nicholasadeptlyheats up some orepowder and centralizedplantfruit of powder-mixing methodgrinding, afterprocessing, extracts the darkpowderfinally, makingAlberthaveto plantthen the feeling of probablytrueAlchemy.
因为秘鲁那边已经被他与他的朋友给垄断了。看着尼古拉斯娴熟地将一些磨碎的矿石粉末与集中植物果实粉末混合加热,经过一番处理,最终提取出黑暗粉,让艾伯特有种这才像是真正的炼金术的感觉。Nicholasalsoasked whether Albertmustbeginto attempt.尼古拉斯还问艾伯特是否要动手尝试一下。Albertaccording to the Nicholasmethod, attemptedthento succeedto make the darkpowdertwice, masteredthisskillwhile convenient.艾伯特按照尼古拉斯的方法,尝试了两次便成功制造出黑暗粉,顺便掌握了这个技能。
The latter is actually not accidental/surprised, after all is the talent, canachievethisdegreeto be very normal, the process of manufacture of darkpowder is not very difficult.
后者倒是没太意外,毕竟是天才,能够做到这种程度很正常,黑暗粉的制造过程并不算很难。„Thisisextracting of Sopophorous bean.”
“这是瞌睡豆的提取液。”Nicholasis pointing atonebottle of silverthickjuice, totheirintroduced, „takesdirectly, can the memory of detachmentperson, according to the venomdilution of certain proportionandSwooping Evil, canmake the powerful the forgettingmedicinal preparation.”尼古拉斯指着一瓶银色的浓汁,向他们介绍道,“直接服用,可以移除人的记忆,按照一定比例与蜷翼魔的毒液稀释,可以制造出强力的遗忘剂。”„Magical Congress of the United States of Americawill purchasecertain amountSopophorous beanto extractfromhereevery year.”Nicholascontinued, „previoustimeNewthelpedthemsolve the problem of U.Smagical worldexposition, Ministry of Magicalsowantsto followto studythatto eliminate the memorymassively the skill. Verypitifully, theycould not findto domesticateThunderbirdWizard, therefore can only makeWizardridebroom......”
“美国魔法国会每年都会从我这里采购一定量的瞌睡豆提取液。”尼古拉斯继续说,“上次纽特帮他们解决美国魔法界暴露的问题,魔法部也想跟着学那个大规模消除记忆的技巧。很可惜,他们找不到驯化雷鸟的巫师,所以只能让巫师骑扫帚……”At this point, Nicholasshows a malicioussmile.
说到这里,尼古拉斯露出一个不怀好意的笑容。„Naturally, whatare moreisU.Smagicwounded and sickhospitalneedsto use, so long as the amount usedis appropriate, eliminatessomeDreadfulmemories, usescompared withmemory charmfortunately.”
“当然,更多的是美国的魔法伤病医院需要用到,只要用量合适,就消除一些糟糕的记忆,比遗忘咒还好用。”„Naturally, thisthingis expensive, becauseneedsmassiveSopophorous bean, canextractsuchsilver of test tubeto extract, this is also IoutwardlyonDragotorigin.”
“当然,这玩意价格昂贵,因为需要大量的瞌睡豆,才能从中提取出这样一试管的银色提取液,这也是我明面上的卓锅来源。”„How is that the thing?”Albertnotices , in a glassbox that braves the cold air/Qi, is putting an airtighttest tube.
“那是怎么东西?”艾伯特注意到在一处冒着冷气的玻璃箱里,放着一根密闭的试管。„ThatisPotion of All Potential.”Nicholassaidin a soft voice.
“那是潜能药剂。”尼古拉斯轻声说道。„Zygmunt Budge«Book of Potions»inPotion of All Potential”
“齐格蒙特·巴奇的《魔药之书》里的潜能药剂”„Yes.”Nicholastakes the test tubefrom the glassbox, givesAlbert saying: „Where the U.SPotioneersituationverytogoescompared withAlchemist. However, we can always find the means of survival.”
“是的。”尼古拉斯从玻璃箱里将试管取出来,递给艾伯特说道:“美国的魔药师的处境比炼金术师好不到哪儿去。不过,我们总能找到生存的办法。”„It is not allWizarddescendants, canhavepowerfulmagic power, manyfamousandrichWizardhousecraveintakesthismedicamentvery muchtooneselfchild, stimulatestheirmagicpotentials, makingthemleadotherWizardincertainaspects.”Nicholascontinues saying that „theygraduatesafter the school, canenterMagical Congress of the United States of America, becomesoutstandingAuror, orobtainsothermore promisingoccupation.”
“不是所有巫师的后裔,都能拥有强大的魔力,很多有名且有钱的巫师家族很热衷于给自己的孩子服用这种药剂,激发他们的魔法潜能,让他们在某些方面领先其他巫师。”尼古拉斯继续说道,“等他们从学校毕业后,就能够进入美国魔法国会,成为一名优秀的傲罗,或者得到其他更有前途的职业。”„HowU.S has WizardgraspedplantsNiffler's fancy?”Albertselects the eyebrowto ask.
“美国巫师已经掌握如何种植幻嗅草了?”艾伯特挑眉问道。„Has attempted, but the effectis very bad, Niffler's fancy that trainsis mostly half-dead, moreoverdoes not haveEnchanted GardenNiffler's fancyhigh-quality, beforemakesPotion of All Potentialit, usuallyneedsto purify, extractsto makePotion of All Potentialin the directuse.”
“尝试过,但效果很差,培养出来的幻嗅草大多半死不活,而且没有魔法园林的幻嗅草优质,在将它制成潜能药剂前,通常需要进行提纯,在直接使用提取液制成潜能药剂。”„Was compelledbymoney!”Albertsaidin a soft voice.
“都是被钱逼出来的啊!”艾伯特轻声说道。„After all, theydo not havemassiveDragotto spend freelylikeme.”Nicholas is very clear others is not easy.
“毕竟,他们不像我一样有大量的卓锅可以挥霍。”尼古拉斯很清楚其他人的不易。AlchemistandPotioneer of Americasalsocalculate the unity, forms an intriguingrelationship networkthrough the benefit, this is also Nicholascanobtainone of massivemagicraw materialreasons.
美洲的炼金术师与魔药师都还算团结,通过利益形成一张错综复杂的关系网,这也是尼古拉斯能够获得大量魔法原料的原因之一。„Theyhave not attemptedto studyBaruffio's Brain Elixir”
“他们没有尝试研究巴费醒脑剂吗”„Having, butthatthingis a little dangerous, moreoveris unstable, needsquitewisePotions Master to refinesuccessfully.”
“有,但那玩意有点危险,而且不稳定,需要相当高明的魔药大师才能炼制成功。”Actually, thesePotioneeralsowantto makeBaruffio's Brain Elixirto make money, butthisthingdoes not do wellpossiblyto drink the fool.
其实,那些魔药师也想制造巴费醒脑剂赚钱,但这玩意弄不好就可能会把人喝成傻子。Might as wellmakesFelix Felicisto cometo make money, the Felix Felicisfailurewas at least poisoned, is saved.
还不如制造福灵剂来得赚钱,至少福灵剂失败中毒了,还有得救。„IknowPotions Master. Albertthinksandsaid, „ Hector Dagworth, Ithinkyou may have listened tohisname, Ionceaskedhimto helpmemakeBaruffio's Brain Elixir, butthatthingtrulya littleeffect.”
“我认识一个魔药大师。艾伯特想了想又道,“赫托克·达格沃斯,我想你们可能会听过他的名字,我曾经请他帮我制造巴费醒脑剂,但那玩意确实有点效果。”„Naturally, Iwill also makeBaruffio's Brain Elixir, butRunespoor eggis not goodto do.”Albertsaidsuddenly, „. Moreover the needpracticesmuch.”
“当然,我也会制造巴费醒脑剂,只是如尼纹蛇蛋不好搞到。”艾伯特忽然说道,“而且需要更多实践。”„Raw materialcandofromBurkina Faso.”Nicholasmastered the meaning of Albert, says, „, so long asyouhave the meansto providereliableBaruffio's Brain Elixir.”
“原料可以从布基纳法索搞到。”尼古拉斯搞懂了艾伯特的意思,开口说道,“只要你有办法提供可靠的巴费醒脑剂。”„Burkina Faso”
“布基纳法索”„A small country of Africa, therehasspecialprotects the Runespoorforest, moreover many WizardraiseRunespoorfortradingspecially.”Nicholassaidwithout hesitation, „Runespoor fang that floo powderneedsalsogets so far asfromthatcountry.”
“非洲的一个小国,那里有专门保护如尼纹蛇的森林,而且有不少巫师专门饲养如尼纹蛇用于贩卖。”尼古拉斯不假思索地说道,“飞路粉需要的如尼纹蛇毒牙也是从那国家弄到的。”Manypeoplereplace the floo powderuse the powder that Runespoor fangmakesdirectly, finallyoneselfblowing off, buttheyactuallydo not know that thingalsoneeds to makefloo powderthrough the alchemyprocessing.
很多人直接把如尼纹蛇毒牙制成的粉末代替飞路粉使用,结果把自己给炸飞了,但他们却不知道,那玩意还需要通过炼金加工才能制成飞路粉。„Ok, wechattedthis!”AlbertshookPotion of All Potentialto ask, „what did youwantmeto make?”
“好了,那我们来谈谈这个吧!”艾伯特晃了晃潜能药剂问道,“你想要我做什么?”„Ihope that youcanbecomeCatherinefriend.”Nicholassaidearnestly, „after shebecomesmysuccessor, after being doomed, will not havefriend that anythingis better, withforyou of talent, shouldhavemanytopics.”
“我希望你能够成为凯萨琳的朋友。”尼古拉斯认真地说道,“她成为我的继承人后,注定以后不会有什么要好的朋友了,同为天才的你们,应该会有不少的话题。”„Youdetermined that is onlyfriend?”Albertinquired.
“你确定只是朋友?”艾伯特询问道。„Naturally, ifyouwantto pursuemygranddaughter, Iactuallynot......”
“当然,如果你想追我的孙女,我倒是不……”„No, Ihave the girlfriend.”Albertshakes the head saying that „, but, friend that ifexchangesonmagicAlchemy, Iam gladactuallyvery much, when the time comescanthrough the Two-way mirrorrelation.”
“不,我已经有女友了。”艾伯特摇头道,“不过,如果是在魔法炼金术上交流的朋友,我倒是很乐意,到时候可以通过双面镜联系。”Albertcan look atNicholasvery muchto care aboutowngranddaughter.艾伯特看得出来尼古拉斯很在乎自己的孙女。
