Fog misty early morning, Klein sits before own table, oats bread that will buy specially breaks off plunges in the milk broken, is improving the way of eating. 雾蒙蒙的清晨,克莱恩坐在自家餐桌前,将特意买的燕麦面包掰碎浸入牛奶里,改良着吃法。 Although his body has changed, but the pursue to the good food and rigid actually inscribed in the soul, definitely is unable to adapt to the Ruen Kingdom monotonous redundant breakfast style, can only make the attempt as far as possible, did not rigidly adhere to the toast, bread, Bacon, sausage, butter and cream these, is developing the boundary diligently, is enriching the way of eating, for example, in his recipes increased south the popular pork pie, the Fenpot surface, roasted corn pizza and other varieties. 虽然他的身体早已改变,但对美食的追求和执着却铭刻在了灵魂里,完全无法适应鲁恩王国单调重复的早餐风格,只能尽量多做尝试,不拘泥于吐司、面包、培根、香肠、黄油和奶油这些,努力拓展着边界,丰富着吃法,比如,他的食谱内新增了南方流行的猪肉馅饼,费内波特面,烤玉米薄饼等品种。 „The Fusac Empire caviar is also good, was too expensive/noble, only suited the formal dinner party......” Klein to scoop up to bubble soft scrap oats bread with the soup ladle, squeezed in it the mouth, chewed merely slightly, felt milk that dyeing full Maixiang who flowed, but the bread returning mouth was even more fragrant. “弗萨克帝国的鱼子酱也不错,就是太贵了,只适合正式的餐会……”克莱恩用汤勺舀起泡软的小块燕麦面包,将它塞入口中,仅仅稍有嘴嚼,就感受到了流淌出的染满麦香的牛奶,而面包的回口愈发香甜。 Finished eating the breakfast, Klein puts down the fork bucket, did not have anxiously tidying up, takes up that several newspapers that just sent, launched reading leisurely and carefree. 吃完早餐,克莱恩放下叉勺,没急着收拾,拿起刚送来的那几份报纸,悠闲地展开阅读。 Waits to make divination, if nothing, goes to St George District Sarch Street to visit Mr. Leppard, looked that his new transportation vehicle does have the value of investment...... Beckland also is really big, each area is almost equal to Thengen City, eastern district is especially exaggerating, at least surpasses the trip mode or the both feet that two times...... most economized conveniently transfers the steam subway to transfer the both feet again, a little wastes the time...... Klein to disperse the thought limitlessly. 等下做个占卜,如果没什么事情,就去圣乔治区萨奇街拜访雷帕德先生,看他的新型交通工具有没有投资的价值……贝克兰德还真是大啊,每个区都几乎等同于廷根市,东区尤其夸张,至少超过了两倍……最便捷最省钱的出行方式还是双脚转蒸汽地铁再转双脚,就是有点浪费时间……克莱恩漫无边际地发散着思维。 The Beckland public carriage system is similar to Thengen, the pricing is also similar, the only issue is, in them very major part only limits to an independent area, if must from Chowod to St. George, need to transfer on the way several times, the price naturally also came up. 贝克兰德的公共马车系统与廷根相似,定价也差不多,唯一的问题是,它们之中很大部分只局限于单独的一个区,如果要从乔伍德到圣乔治,途中需要转乘好几次,价格自然也就上去了。 Such condition makes the prospect of new transportation vehicle very attractive. 这样的状况让新型交通工具的前景变得非常诱人。 Thump! Thump! Thump! 咚！咚！咚！ At this moment, huge such as the knock of thump reverberates, drilled into the Klein's ear. 就在这时,巨大如捶的敲门声回荡开来,钻入了克莱恩的耳朵。 Who...... does not know that the sliding door bell...... he mumbled two, managed under the neckband, arrives at the gate, puts out a hand to pull open. 谁啊……都不知道拉门铃……他嘟囔了两句,理了下领口,来到门边,伸手拉开。 The one who appears at present his is an acquaintance, before chased small Ian that plateau man on the steam subway, the skin was black, the eye socket got sucked, thin terse that plateau man. 出现于他眼前的是位熟人,之前在蒸汽地铁上追赶小伊恩的那位高原男子,皮肤偏黑,眼窝深陷,瘦削精悍的那位高原男子。 According to Klein „spiritism” the result, he is called Mersso, Zmanger Party „sentencing person”, position not low chieftain. 根据克莱恩“通灵”的结果,他叫做默尔索,兹曼格党的“处刑人”,位置不低的头目。 „Excuse me, do look for which? Has the matter to entrust me?” Klein displayed some to confuse intentionally. “请问,你找哪位？有事情想要委托我？”克莱恩故意表现出了些许迷惑。 Mersso wears the black coat, wears silk top hat of empty boasting, but not like gentleman. 默尔索穿着黑色外套,头戴浮夸的丝绸礼帽,但一点也不像绅士。 His vision sized up Klein one indifferently, with bringing Ruen language of rich plateau voice is asking back: 他目光冷漠地打量了克莱恩一眼,用带着浓郁高原口音的鲁恩语反问道: „Are you Sherlock Moriarty?” “你就是夏洛克.莫里亚蒂？” „Yes.” Klein replied succinctly. “是的。”克莱恩简洁地回答道。 Mersso nods to say stiffly: 默尔索生硬地点头道: „I want to entrust you to find a person.” “我想委托你找一个人。” „Any situation came to say specifically again.” Klein has not made itself display slightly exceptionally. “具体什么情况进来再说。”克莱恩没让自己表现出丝毫异常。 Mersso swung the head desolately: 默尔索冷淡地摇了摇脑袋: „Does not need.” “不需要。” Then, his eye suddenly becomes sharp: 说完,他的眼睛忽然变得锐利: „The person who I must find is called Ian, Ian Wright, he has the double bright red eye, the 15-16 year, likes putting on probably brown, the obsolete coat, wears the same color dome hat, I think that you should know him.” “我要找的人叫做伊恩,伊恩.赖特,他有双鲜红的眼睛,大概十五六岁,喜欢穿棕色的、老旧的大衣,戴同色的圆顶帽子,我想你应该认识他。” Klein said with a smile: 克莱恩笑了一声道: „I do not understand that you are saying anything.” “我不明白你在说什么。” Mersso does not seem to hear denial of opposite party: „He is a thief, stole away I very important item, so long as you can find him, can obtain at least 10 pounds reward.” 默尔索似乎没有听到对方的否认:“他是一个小偷,偷走了我一件很重要的物品,只要你能找到他,就可以获得至少十镑的报酬。” „The clue that you provide were too few.” Klein found an excuse at will. “你们提供的线索太少了。”克莱恩随意找了个借口。 „30 pounds.” Mersso gives the new offer. “30镑。”默尔索给出新的报价。 Klein looked at his one eyes saying: 克莱恩望了他一眼道: „No, this counteracts my secrecy principle.” “不,这有悖我的保密原则。” „50 pounds.” Mersso ice-cold responded. “50镑。”默尔索冰冷地回应道。 „...... Sorry, I will not have this assignment.” Klein was startled for two seconds, finally chose the rejection. “……很抱歉,我不会接这个任务。”克莱恩怔了两秒,最终还是选择了拒绝。 Mersso deeply carefully examined his several seconds slowly, the vision becomes gradually callous and vicious. 默尔索缓慢地深深地审视了他好几秒,目光逐渐变得冷酷和凶狠。 He does not have to give the new offer again, does not have the politeness to say goodbye, has turned around fiercely, moved toward the outskirt quickly. 他没再给出新的报价,也没有礼貌地告辞,猛地转过身,快步走向了街尾。 The intelligence capability of this criminal syndicate is very good...... actually knows that Ian asked me...... Klein to sigh with emotion two secretly, has therefore not produced too many worry and fears. 这个黑帮的情报能力很不错嘛……竟然知道伊恩曾经来找过我……克莱恩暗自感慨了两句,并没有因此而产生太多的担忧和畏惧。 I have faced directly the Evil God heir's person after all, although separated a belly...... to think, his smile was suddenly bright, starts to toss the coin to decide whether today must go out. 我毕竟是直面过邪神子嗣的人,虽然隔了层肚皮……想着想着,他的笑容忽然灿烂,开始抛硬币决定今天是否要出门。 The answer is the affirmation. 答案是肯定。 ............ ………… St George District, Sarch Street. 圣乔治区,萨奇街。 Had axle public carriage to transfer the steam subway to transfer railless public carriage Klein finally to arrive in the destination, the grand total spent 11 pennies. 有轨公共马车转蒸汽地铁转无轨公共马车的克莱恩终于抵达了目的地,总计花费11便士。 He just went out of the compartment, outside the discovery hiked up lightly the rain, but he has not brought the umbrella. 他刚走出车厢,就发现外面飘起了淅淅沥沥的阴雨,而他并没有带伞。 „According to the newspaper and magazine said that this was daily of Beckland, the hat popularly was because the women and gentlemen will not carry the umbrella...... Klein to press under oneself half high silk top hat momentarily”, the half step ran rushes to outside of No. 9 house, with the aid of the eaves, covered the rainwater. “据报纸和杂志讲,这是贝克兰德的日常,帽子之所以流行就是因为女士和先生们不会随时都携带着伞……”克莱恩按了下自己的半高丝绸礼帽,小步快跑地冲到九号房屋的外面,借助屋檐,遮挡住了雨水。 He pats the obvious water drop, sounded the doorbell. 他拍掉身上明显的水珠,拉响了门铃。 But he has not heard the cuckoo cuckoo the sound, has not detected the ding dong sound. 但他并没有听到布谷布谷的声音,也未察觉叮叮当当的动静。 „Was doorbell bad?” Klein is just about to lift the hand to knock on a door, suddenly the discovery has the sound of footsteps from far to near. “门铃坏了？”克莱恩正要抬手敲门,忽然发现有脚步声由远及近。 In his mind naturally appeared the form of future, 30 of-year-old tall thin, black bluing eye mister, the opposite party wore the gray-blue worker clothing, but actually seemed gentle. 他脑海内自然浮现出了来者的身影,一位高瘦的、黑发蓝眼的三十来岁先生,对方穿着灰蓝色的工人服装,但却显得文质彬彬。 The door opens, that mister rubbed one's temples and said: 吱呀,房门打开,那位先生揉了下额角道: „Whom do you look for?

The inside lots became the reality! Hehe, this draft manuscript preservation in the steam and machinery church, is not the reverent follower, without the means borrows.” “罗塞尔大帝留下了一部手稿,里面绘制着他对未来各种机械装置的想象,他真是一位卓越的天才,不,大师！里面很多东西都变成了现实！呵呵,这部手稿保存于蒸汽与机械教会,不是虔诚的信徒,没有办法借阅到。” ...... Great Emperor, you give back do not give others to keep the means of livelihood...... the Klein corners of the mouth to move, is not nearly able to maintain the smile. ……大帝,你还给不给别人留活路啊……克莱恩嘴角一动,险些无法保持笑容。 „Concrete introduction.” He shifted the topic. “具体介绍一下。”他转移了话题。 Before Leppard leads Klein is arriving at that rough metal thing, brushes pulls open the way: 雷帕德领着克莱恩走到那个粗糙的金属事物前,刷得拉开门道: „This does not need the transportation vehicle of horse.” “这是不需要马的交通工具。” „Cart driver sits in the left front, steps on the footboard unceasingly, connected four wheels through the lever, chain, making them tumble to forward, but on the wheel, I used the means of rubber gasification, this will make the travel steady.” “车夫坐在左前方,不断地踩动踏板,通过杠杆、链条等连接四个轮子,让它们翻滚向前,而在轮子上面,我采用了橡胶充气的办法,这会让行驶变得平稳。” Therefore, is the manpower automobile? Klein could not bear complain one. 所以,也就是人力汽车？克莱恩忍不住吐槽了一句。 He considers was saying: 他斟酌着说道: „Perhaps such huge compartment, at least four passengers, are unable to go purely far.” “这么庞大的厢体,至少四位的乘客,单纯靠人恐怕无法行驶多远。” „This is my following goal, reduces the weight and enlarges the multiple of lever! But my financial conditions are not quite optimistic, is unable to support many attempts.” Leppard hopes for that looks to Klein. “这正是我接下来的目标,减轻重量并放大杠杆的倍数！但我的财政状况已经不太乐观,无法支撑更多的尝试。”雷帕德希冀地望向克莱恩。 „Why doesn't consider other way? For example makes the power with the steam?” Klein organizes the language to say slowly. “为什么不考虑别的方式？比如用蒸汽做动力？”克莱恩缓慢组织着语言道。 Leppard shakes the head: „This some people had invented, but the build is big, had the travel difficult situation on many streets.” 雷帕德摇了摇头:“这已经有人发明了,但体型非常大,在很多街道上都出现了行驶困难的情况。” Klein is these words: 克莱恩等的就是这句话: „, Why you do not make one to be simpler, for example, only then two wheels, can only carry a person, does not want the outer covering.” “那么,你为什么不做一个更加简单的,比如,只有两个轮子,只能载一个人,不要外壳的。” „You say the bicycle type?” Leppard as if asked in the ponder. “你是说脚踏车类型？”雷帕德仿佛在思考般反问道。 In the Russell draft manuscript has?

I can try, but I did not have money to buy the components......” “……我可以试一下,但我没钱买零件了……” „I invest your 100 gold pound, in addition I suggested a moment ago, I altogether occupied......” Klein to hesitate say 10% stocks, was 15% good, 100 pounds after all strict not to calculate too. “我投资你100金镑,加上我刚才的建议,我共占据……”克莱恩犹豫着是说百分之十的股份,还是百分之十五好,毕竟100镑严格来说不算太多。 „You can occupy 35% stocks! But is only restricted in the bicycle project that you described!” Leppard first said, feared the opposite party set the too high request. “你可以占据百分之三十五的股份！但只限于你描述的脚踏车项目！”雷帕德抢先说道,怕对方提出太高的要求。 „Deal!” Klein said with a smile immediately, „we first drafted a simple contract, decided this matter, I later looked for the Lane Solicitor official contract, added some detail provisions, for example, if some people invested again, must first obtain my agreement.” “成交！”克莱恩当即笑道,“我们先草拟一份简单的合同,将这件事情定下来,我之后再找事务律师正式的合同,添加一些细节性的条款,比如,要是再有人投资,必须先得到我的同意。” „no problem.” Leppard replied impatiently, only wants to purchase the components a bit faster. “没有问题。”雷帕德迫不及待地回答,只想快点购买零件。 ............ ………… In dim that the continuous rain brings, Klein returned to the Chowod District Minsk street. 绵绵阴雨带来的昏暗里,克莱恩回到了乔伍德区明斯克街。 He enters the house, directly soars a building washroom, solved the problem of lower abdomen ballooning comfortably. 他进入房屋,直奔一楼盥洗室,舒舒服服地解决了小腹鼓胀的问题。 Crash-bang. 哗啦啦。 During the sound of water reverberations, Klein bends the waist to wash the hands. 水声回荡间,克莱恩弯腰洗手。 At this moment, in his mind presented a picture suddenly: 就在这时,他脑海内突然呈现出了一副画面: In the washing mirror shines has him of lowering the head, dim environment, as well as one two-position in flank eye. 洗漱镜内映照有低着头的他,昏暗的环境,以及一双位于侧方的眼睛。 An eye! 一双眼睛！
