Nia City, in some remote shop. 尼亚市,某间偏僻的小铺内。 The bright sunlight sprinkles into by the door and window, shines upon on the wooden cabinet the stack-up to place in the same place, scattered ordered puppet. 明亮的阳光透过门扉与窗户洒入,映照出木柜上层叠摆放在一起,错落有序的玩偶。 Some of them have the decoration of exaggerating red nose and clown, some are blond with blue eyes, wears the princess skirt, but also some simply are various lovable small creature. 它们有的拥有夸张的红鼻子与小丑的装饰,有的则是金发碧眼,穿着公主裙,还有的干脆就是各种可爱的小动物。 In door signboard position, ‚Doll House’ very striking dazzling. 在店门招牌位置,‘玩偶之家’十分醒目耀眼。 precisely, this is a puppet shop! 没有错,这是一间玩偶店！ Hulhu sits behind the counter, the meaning of whole face being bored to death: „Has not really thought that...... Garland is the manual baby unexpectedly!” 苏鲁坐在柜台后面,满脸百无聊赖之意:“真没想到……加兰竟然是个做手工娃娃的！” Although these puppets are very attractively fine, but the price was not so beautiful, lowest also takes silver hawk, causes often to open the door a day of few business. 虽然这些木偶很精致漂亮,但价格就不那么美丽了,最低的一个也要一个银鹰,导致往往开门一天都没有几个生意。 Because no advertises to conforming to the intention sales clerk, Hulhu has to hold the post of the responsibility of interim shopkeeper at this time, here looks at the shop. 因为没有招聘到符合心意的店员,苏鲁此时不得不担任临时店长的职责,在这里看店。 In fact, he waits for Goddess church mission at this contact point similarly, this is two brothers these days the important source of income. 实际上,他同样是在这个联络点等待女神教会的任务,这才是两兄弟这段时间收入的主要来源。 Since that event, Hulhu followed Rhode to have several mission, has not always bumped into the misfortune, quite smoothly solved. 自从那次事件过后,苏鲁又跟着罗德出了几次任务,没有总是碰到不幸,都比较顺利地解决了。 Not only from this made the generous income, rare actual combat experience. 由此不仅获得了丰厚的收入,还有难得的实战经验。 „Fact proof...... in the present period, various extraordinary events erupts not specially is fierce, perhaps it is because the dawn is approaching?” “事实证明……在如今时期,各种超凡事件爆发得并不是特别剧烈,或许是因为刚刚看到了黎明曙光的缘故？” Hulhu is guessing secretly. 苏鲁暗自猜测着。 For these days, most made him speechless, is some says the Devil follower, depended on the fellow of development sect swindling and abducting actually. 这几天中,最让他无语的,就是某个自称恶魔信徒,实际靠着发展教派坑蒙拐骗的家伙。 That is a through and through swindler, made one pile of specious ceremonies, does not have the trace of slight extraordinary force intervention. 那就是个彻头彻尾的骗子,弄了一堆似是而非的仪式,并且,没有丝毫超凡之力干预的痕迹。 Really let alone, the opposite party earned really much, even him had the thoughts ruthlessly. 真别说,对方赚得实在不少,连他都狠狠动了心思。 In several times in mission, Hulhu also even more controls freely regarding the 【Spiritist】 ability, was qualified Spiritist. 在几次出任务中,苏鲁对于【灵媒】的能力也越发掌控自如,算是合格的通灵者了。 „But, Level 1 extraordinary, the itself strength has not surpassed some boundary, has the respective specialty, for example 【Spiritist】 is good at coping with soul, is actually not good at resisting other extraordinary...... 【Devil Hunter】 strong in the body and spirit and resistance, has certainly manufactures the magical item ability, the material limit was Devil related that some effect also time limit...... acts according to Rhode saying that if promoted Level 3 【Devil Hunter Master】, he can use the Devil material, the manufacture can save the world for a long time magical item, Level 4 【Devil Hunter Grandmaster】 can according to own needs to conduct ‚having custom-made’......” “但是,一阶的超凡者,本身实力并未超出某个界限,并且,有着各自的专长,比如【灵媒】擅长对付灵体,却不擅长对抗其它超凡者……【猎魔人】强在体魄与抗性,有一定制作神奇物品的能力,材料限制是恶魔相关的那种,效果也有时限性……根据罗德所说,如果晋升成三阶的【猎魔专家】,他就可以利用恶魔材料,制作能长久存世的神奇物品,四阶的【猎魔大师】更是可以根据自己的需要进行‘定制’……” What a pity, the opposite party is far from Level 3. 可惜,对方距离三阶都相差甚远。 Hulhu knows, profession level more in the future, promoting difficultly is more terrifying. 苏鲁知道,职阶越往后,晋升困难就越恐怖。 This time he, is a salt fish besides every day, is inquires Kira Guess and Beatrice news. 此时的他,除了每天当一条咸鱼之外,就是打探基拉·盖尔斯与碧翠丝的消息。 What a pity, until now still has achieved nothing. 可惜,至今仍旧一无所获。 Took a fast look around a door, after determining does not have the customer, he opens a black seal and construction plain notebook, starts the study of devil hunting knowledge. 扫视了一眼店门,确定没有顾客之后,他打开一本黑色封皮、形制古朴的笔记本,开始猎魔知识的学习。 This is the Botley ancestors when the note that hunting devil leaves behind, regarding promoting mysticism domain knowledge, especially the Devil study aspect is very helpful. 这是波特利先祖们在狩猎魔物之时留下的笔记,对于提升神秘学领域的知识,特别是恶魔学方面很有帮助。 At this time, Hulhu turned the new page: 此时,苏鲁就翻到了新的一页: „Cursed Spirit! It's a special kind of soul...They were either good or evil before their death, but without exception, they all received the attention and curse of some special existence, or due to some inexplicable influence, a qualitative change has occurred!” “诅咒之灵！一种特殊的灵体……它们生前或者善良、或者邪恶，但无一例外，受到了特殊存在的注视与诅咒,或者由于某些无法解释的影响，发生了形态的质变！” „The cursed spirit does not wander in the Spirit World but is instinctively yearning for the real world. It kills people according to certain rules, and spreads death and terror among the world......” “诅咒之灵不在灵界游荡，而是本能地向往现实世界，按照某种规律杀人，将死亡与恐怖在人间传播……” „True Cursed Spirit, is unable to be eliminated, is unable to be pursued, suspected that with affecting its source is related, so long as ‚source’ remains, they are true indestructible, takes to the world the disaster......” “真正的诅咒之灵,无法被消灭,无法被驱逐,怀疑与影响它的源头有关,只要‘源头’仍然存在,它们就是真正的不死不灭,将灾难带给人间……” Now the content of this note, some ancestor from Hulhu this body. 现在这份笔记的内容,来自苏鲁这具身体的某个祖先。 The opposite party became detective in the Dusk of Gods period, investigates the dark creature whereabouts secretly, this was he after experiencing some mortality rate extremely high Cursed Spirit attack stayed behind. 对方在诸神黄昏时期成了一名侦探,暗地里调查黑暗生物的行踪,这就是他在经历了某一次死亡率极高的诅咒之灵袭击后留下的。 „Must pay attention! Cursed Spirit were eliminated even, still meets the rebirth...... it only to be able by various method limits, is actually not able to be cancelled thoroughly! I suspect that behind this is the influence of a existence of high level...... for example Devil!” “要注意！诅咒之灵即使被消灭,也一定会重生……它只能被各种手段限制,却无法被彻底抹去！我怀疑这里面有高位格存在的影响……比如恶魔！” In end, the annotation that this ancestor makes an effort, the final several letters are exceptionally illegible, cut the paper. 在末尾,还有这位先祖用力的注释,最后几个字母异常潦草,划破纸张。 „Cursed Spirit? Actually isn't the evil spirit and curse?” “诅咒之灵？其实不就是厉鬼与诅咒么？” Hulhu smiles, in the future will turn, discovered that the handwriting had changed into another person: „Hamish died! Hangs oneself the suicide with the leather belt, is exactly the same as that curse in dead who he experienced initially, he thinks that oneself escaped the misfortune of death , the opposite party came late for 13 years!” 苏鲁笑了笑,往后一翻,发现字迹已经换成了另外一个人的:“哈米西还是死了！用皮带上吊自杀,跟他当初所经历的那场诅咒中的死者一模一样,他以为自己逃脱了死亡的厄运,没有想到,对方只是迟来了十三年！” This line of neat handwriting, meticulous, actually brings to Hulhu from at heart the ice-cold chill in the air of spread. 这一行字迹工整,一丝不苟,却给苏鲁带来从心里蔓延的冰冷寒意。 Not is only the fearfulness of evil spirit and curse, the despairs and crazy of Botley family these ancestors, in the notebook that as if in this soon breaks appears. 不仅是厉鬼与诅咒的可怕,还有波特利家族这些祖先们的绝望与疯狂,都仿佛在这本快要散架的笔记本中浮现出来。 He shot a look at status window, the discovery 【Devil Hunter knowledge】 Has promoted Level 4 impressively! 他瞥了眼属性栏,发现【猎魔学识】赫然已经提升到了lv4！ „Inheritance of entire Botley family, if not starting the profession Devil Hunter system, the Devil Hunter knowledge to Level 4 should be the limit......, because all wrote down me to look, now discusses about Devil's knew, I perhaps compared with Rhode also splendid......” “整个波特利家族的传承,如果不就职猎魔人体系,猎魔学识到lv4应该就是极限……因为所有的笔记我都看完了,现在论对恶魔的了解,我或许比罗德还出色……” Hulhu is thinking, is interested regarding Cursed Spirit that in the note mentioned very much. 苏鲁自顾自地想着,对于笔记上提及的诅咒之灵很感兴趣。 As 【Spiritist】, has to do with various soul is the profession instinct. 作为一个【灵媒】,与各种灵体打交道是职业本能。 Naturally, this strange and fearful Cursed Spirit, somewhat was scary, best probably under maintaining the safe premise studies. 当然,这种诡异而可怕的诅咒之灵,就有些吓人了,最好还是要在保持自身安全的前提下进行研究。 Thump! Thump! 噔！噔！ Hears two sounds of footsteps to come from outside, Hulhu receives the book, just exchanged profession the smiling face, the facial expression is startled suddenly. 听到两个脚步声从外面进来,苏鲁将书收好,刚刚换上一个职业化的笑容,神情就忽然怔住。 Two of coming, is his acquaintance, but he cannot think that will meet again in this case! 进来的两个,都是他的熟人,但他想不到会在这种情况下重聚！ „Hulhu, I found one also to calculate that the good employee, understands the writing, will calculate, can make the report form...... more intelligent than former these, well?” “苏鲁,我找到一个还算不错的雇员,懂文字,会计算,能做报表……比之前那些聪明多了,咦？” Rhode leads a person to come, sees the Hulhu opening mouth, stares manpower who he is taking to bring. 罗德带着一个人进来,看到苏鲁张大嘴巴,盯着他带进来的人手。 „Hulhu!” “苏鲁！” Comes the person appearance to would not venture to give positive comments on, at this time actually went forward excitedly, gave a Hulhu fist: „I think that...... I think you before entering duty these days travelled!” 来人长相不敢恭维,此时却兴奋地上前,给了苏鲁一拳:“我以为……我以为你趁着入职前这段时间去旅游了！” „Sean, sees you very much happily again!” “肖恩,很高兴再见到你！” The Hulhu corners of the mouth twitch, smiles reluctantly, looks to Rhode: „What's the matter?” 苏鲁嘴角抽动,勉强笑了笑,看向罗德:“怎么回事？” When, did the university students reduce to the puppet shop work? This is not the previous life university student compared with dog also many time. 什么时候,大学生都沦落到玩偶店打工了？这又不是前世大学生比狗还多的时代。 „Originally did you know?” “原来你们认识？” Rhode inflexible face not many expressions: „This fellow walks on own initiative, I interviewed in the cafe, felt also good, brings.” 罗德死板的脸孔没有多少表情:“这家伙主动找上门来的,我在咖啡馆面试了下,觉得还行,就带过来了。” „You?” Hulhu looks to Sean. “那你呢？”苏鲁看向肖恩。 This time Whitehawk Federation, the university diploma is very valuable, can find a work of ordinary staff member in the Grand Duke division at least, how to reduce to this in? 此时的白鹰联邦,大学文凭很是值钱,至不济也能在大公司找到一个普通职员的工作,怎么会沦落到这份上？ „...... That is really the bad luck!” “哦……那真是噩运啊！” Sean was asked this, almost must cry aloud: „I entered more than ten interviews, entered a transoccanic trading company with great difficulty, result several days, the company went out of business...... naturally, has other jobs, but I felt, I am more suitable to go to school, therefore prepares the school to continue to pursue advanced studies, this needs to take a test, I need a calm and steady environment review, can support own wage...... then, I saw your elder brother in the recruitment enlightenment that in the newspaper publishes.” 肖恩被问到这个,几乎要哭出声来:“我参加了十几个面试,好不容易进了一家跨洋贸易公司,结果几天不到,公司就倒闭了……当然,也不是没有其它工作机会,但我觉得,我还是更适合上学,所以准备到学校继续深造,这需要考试,我需要一个安稳的环境复习,一份能养活自己的薪水……然后,我就看到了令兄在报纸上刊登的招聘启示。”
