dense fog, like monster giant eyeballs, is peeping at crowded. 时间的变化在彷徨岔路内并不明显,阳光穿过大裂隙的雾霾,抵达裂谷之中的彷徨岔路时,虚弱不堪的光芒,仅能微微映亮昏暗而已,因此彷徨岔路内的照明灯,几乎是全天候常亮的,惨白的光芒透过迷雾,就像一颗颗怪物巨大的眼球,窥视着人来人往。 Here time seemed framed, the high noon or at midnight, some are only gloomy and pale, shines upon the monster it the lair. 这里的时间仿佛是被定格的,无论是正午还是午夜,有的只是灰暗与惨白,将它映照成怪物的巢穴。 The deep place of lair, Vikar is busy after the bar, looked at a clock, has approached quickly at midnight, when this time, the business was busy was not good, 巢穴的深处,维卡在吧台后忙来忙去,看了眼时钟,已经快临近午夜了,每到这个时候,生意都忙的不行, Demons and monsters go out from the shadow of

getting old, when is young he can also the music that follows these to move restlessly dance, now only thinks that these things are noisy. 维卡揉了揉眼睛,虽然说已经习惯了这些,但可能是上了年纪的原因,年轻时他还能跟着这些躁动的音乐起舞,现在只觉得这些东西吵闹。

步入自己的办公室内,关上大门,将噪音与迷醉的酒气隔绝,维卡终于觉得自己能轻松些了,在这个鬼地方,静谧都显得格外珍贵。 Takes up cigarette, pulls out tranquilly, in the office has not turned on the light, selects the point fire to shine the fuzzy outline sparklingly. 拿起一根烟,平静地抽起来,办公室内没有开灯,点点的火光映亮了模糊的轮廓。 Vikar opened the cabinet under desk, inside is suspending a safety deposit box, has not opened many times clearly, Vikar only with the sense of touch, then twisted off the safety deposit box, then put the Ma gate coin in small box completely. 维卡拉开了办公桌下的柜子,里面正摆着一个保险箱,已经不清楚开启过多少次了,维卡仅凭着触觉,便拧开了保险箱,然后将小箱子里的玛门币全部放了进去。 Gloomy, only then the cigarette is

依托着这仅有的光,灿金的色泽在玛门币的边缘流动着,就像哲人石般,泛起了某种未知的魔力,将维卡的眼瞳都映照成了金色,就像熔化的金漆。 Vikar's vision is tranquil, had not been affected slightly, is preparing to close the safety deposit box, a Ma gate coin actually from fell, rolls to Vikar's under foot. 维卡的目光平静,没有受到丝毫的影响,正准备将保险箱关上,一枚玛门币却从其中滑落了出来,滚到维卡的脚下。 Picks up it, the back is that hugs the golden as before Ma gate, directly is actually the pack of wolves of

concave-convex fluctuating, shiny that it scratches. 维卡关上了保险箱,没有将这枚玛门币放回去,而是握在手中,用粗糙的手指,有力地揉搓着硬币的表面,感受着那凹凸的起伏,将它擦的锃亮。 „In a flash seven years, I forgot you quickly, why did you suddenly appear?” “一晃七年了啊,我都快把你忘记了,为什么你又突然出现了呢？” Vikar is thinking deeply, he is somewhat anxious, since the seven years has arranged in order Biousse is very of low-key, spreading does not have any news, Vikar once thinks that he left Ou Bosi, returned to the hometown of Seine Union, on retirement life. 维卡深思着,他有些不安,这七年以来列比乌斯一直很低调,没有任何消息的传出,维卡一度以为他离开了欧泊斯,返回了莱茵同盟的故乡,过上了退休生活。 But he appears now, but also sent his envoy. 可现在他又出现了,还派来了他的使者。 In the mind recalled that Rogge's appearance, Vikar wrinkled the brow. 脑海里回想起伯洛戈的模样,维卡皱紧了眉头。 He mingles among the pacing back and forth branch road for a long time, has seen innumerable demons and monsters, nose Rogge is keen, the father's elder male cousin Rogge's body he can smell that flavor. 他在彷徨岔路混迹已久,见过数不清的妖魔鬼怪,鼻子比伯洛戈还要灵敏,从伯洛戈的身上他能嗅到那股味道。 Slight, the putrefactive

轻微的、衰败的腐臭味,仿佛这躯壳之下的灵魂,正在腐烂崩溃,可他的气味又没有恶魔那样强烈、明显。 Like being situated between continues and collapses...... is struggling the soul. 就像介于延续与崩溃之间般的……挣扎着的灵魂。 „Debtor......” “债务人……” The obsolete glossary raises in the mind, Vikar vision is dignified. 陈旧的词汇在脑海里升起,维卡目光凝重。 Suddenly breathes becomes somewhat depressing, as if indoor air heavy several points, had the wind and rain of roaring to approach
