Klein one by one reads off, sincere reply: 五年契约……两镑十苏勒的周薪,十苏勒的保密和风险补贴……克莱恩一一读完,正色回答: „I do not have the issue.” “我没问题。” „then sign it.” Dunn referred to the dark red fountain pen and black ink canal on table. “那就签吧。”邓恩指了指桌上的暗红钢笔和墨水道。 Klein first tries the fountain pen with the scrap paper, then area of concealment took a deep breath, signed own given name in the corresponding positions of two contracts: Klein Moretti. 克莱恩先用废纸试了试钢笔,接着隐蔽地吸了口气,在两份契约的对应位置都签上了自己的大名:克莱恩.莫雷蒂。 Because he did not have the seal, finally can only press down the fingerprint. 他因为还没有印章,最后只能按上指纹。 Dunn takes back the contract, puts out a seal from the drawer, distinguishes end of Gueux and several key places. 邓恩收回契约,从抽屉里拿出一枚印章,分别盖于末尾和几个重点处。 Completes all these, he stands up, hands over also a contract, reached Klein single-handedly: 做完这一切,他站起身,一手递还一份合同,一手伸向了克莱恩: „Welcome, from now on, you were our one, the attention, the contract must keep secret.” “欢迎,从现在开始,你就是我们的一员了,注意,合同也得保密。” Klein follows stands up, the edge joint crosses the contract, grips the hand of opposite party to say with a smile: 克莱恩跟随站起,边接过合同,边握住对方的手笑道: „Should I call your captain?” “那我该称呼您队长了？” „Yes.” Dunn grey pupils is exceptionally deep and quiet in the pale yellow environment. “是的。”邓恩灰色的眼眸在昏黄的环境下异常幽邃。 After the handshake, two people sit down respectively, Klein looked at seal on the contract, discovering the writing is „the Ruen Kingdom Ahowa County Thengen City Night Watcher squad”. 握手之后,两人分别坐下,克莱恩看了眼合同上的印章,发现文字是“鲁恩王国阿霍瓦郡廷根市值夜者小队”。 „I have not really thought that you ’ will cover up with ‚ Black Thorns Security Company.” He spoke thoughtlessly to say with a smile. “我真没想到你们会用‘黑荆棘安保公司’来遮掩。”他随口笑道。 „Actually, we have other signboard.” Dunn took a paper from the drawer. “其实,我们还有另外的招牌。”邓恩从抽屉里拿出了一张纸。 Above covers the municipal government and police department dual seals, the content is two lines of words: 上面盖有市政府和警察部门双重印章,内容则是两行单词: „Ruen Kingdom Ahowa County Police Department Special Operations Team seventh group.” “鲁恩王国阿霍瓦郡警察厅特殊行动部第七小组。” „First four groups are to undertake the normal police of security, for example the important person protects the group, the important location protection group, but from fifth group of starts, aimed in the county the supernatural event of each city, our seventh group was responsible for the Thengen City Goddess follower related event, if some different votaries existed, deferred to the region to divide, we were mainly northern district, western district and Golden Parasol District and other places.” “前四组是承担安保的正常警察,比如要员保护组、重要场所保护组等,而从第五组开始,就针对郡内各个市的超自然事件了,我们第七小组负责廷根市女神信徒相关的事件,如果有不同信仰者存在,就按照地域划分,我们主要是北区、西区和金梧桐区等地方。” Dunn introduction, „subordinated in the sixth group of Lord of Storms church Justice Enforcer team probably is responsible for dock district, eastern district and southern district, university district and suburb turns over to the fifth group, is Heart of Mechanics in the Thengen squad.” 邓恩大概介绍了一下,“隶属于风暴之主教会‘代罚者’队伍的第六小组负责码头区、东区和南区,大学区和郊外归第五小组,也就是‘机械之心’在廷根的小队。” „Un.” What Klein could not find to ask that to this matter, then said with a smile, „this, if some really people, because ‚Black Thorns Security Company’ signs came to entrust the duty, that what to do?” “嗯。”克莱恩对这事找不到什么想问的,转而笑道,“这要是真有人因为‘黑荆棘安保公司’的牌子上门委托任务,那怎么办？” „Meets, why doesn't meet? So long as does not affect daily business will be fine.” The Dunn language fast gently and replied humorously, „makes money to work as the extra allowance, member is very glad, looks for the cat to look for the dog troublesome and trivial minor matter in any case, now is assumed full responsibility by private detective.” “接啊,为什么不接？只要不影响日常的事务就行。”邓恩语速平缓而幽默地回答,“赚到钱就当额外补贴,队员们都挺乐意的,反正找猫找狗这种麻烦又琐碎的小事,现在都被私家侦探们包揽了。” „Our Night Watcher squads, altogether how many people?” Klein this topic is asking. “我们这个值夜者小队,一共有多少人啊？”克莱恩就着这个话题问道。 „Supernatural event are not many, Extraordinary are less, the entire Thengen City Night Watcher full member also six, including me, hehe, the civilian personnel were counted you also to have six.” Dunn urgently did not reply slowly. “超自然事件并不多,非凡者更不多,整个廷根市的值夜者正式成员也才六个,包括我,呵呵,文职人员算上你也有六个了。”邓恩不急不慢地回答。 Klein nods, finally opens the mouth the matter that asked most cared about: 克莱恩点了点头,终于开口问起了最关心的事情: Extraordinary out-of-control that „captain, you said what's the matter? Why will lose control?” “队长,您说的非凡者失控是怎么回事？为什么会失控？” PS: Has to make up on Monday, will renew one chapter before dawn , on chapter of being nosy gambling is not my brain hole, is the pioneering work of Victoria era spoiled country depressed classes..
