„The present young people may really be extraordinary.” “现在的年轻人可真是了不得。” Viscount Rudaus the hotel three buildings, the elf looks at Jenkin a series of actions, shaking the head says after a sigh. He arrived at the window to confirm the thickness and penetrability of window curtains, then the right hand lifted, a clear(ly) yellow light ball of probably small Sun departed slowly, helping two people illuminate front. 鲁道斯子爵宅邸三楼,精灵看着詹金斯一系列的行动,摇着头感叹道。他走到窗边确认了窗帘的厚度和透光度,然后右手一抬,一个像是小太阳的明黄色光球缓慢飞出,帮助两人照亮了面前。 The entire three buildings are make a connection, although because of the architectural style, the area of three buildings must be smaller than the following floor, but the overall size also has almost two times of Jenkin living room. 整个三楼都是打通的,虽然因为建筑风格,三楼的面积要小于下面的楼层,但整体大小也差不多有詹金斯客厅的两倍。 Here was arranged the appearance of exhibition hall, on bright and clean wood floor, scattered is placing by the display cabinet that the clear glass covers. On the wall hung the oil painting, the wall is standing erect the ancient armor, or the cold weapons set at the frame, was more like the well-stocked reading extensively hall compared with the house three buildings. 这里被布置成展览厅的样子,光洁的木地板上,错落的摆放着一个个被透明玻璃罩起来的展览柜。墙上挂着油画,墙边矗立着古代盔甲,或者冷兵器置物架,比起住宅三楼更像是藏品丰富的博览馆。 The southeast corner in three buildings is a staircase, but the staircase end is stopped up by the wooden wall now, obviously the necessity found the mechanism/organization to open. 三楼的东南角则是楼梯,但现在楼梯尽头被木墙堵住,显然必要找到机关才能打开。 „Has not thought of this antique collector.” “没想到这一位还是古董收藏家。” Approaching that the elf is interested in only displays the stage from oneself recent that in the coverglass is a silver table knife, the bright and clean surface has the black-brown trace, the table knife lies down on the white handkerchief: 精灵感兴趣的凑近距离自己最近的那只展览台,玻璃罩里面是一只银餐刀,光洁的表面有黑褐色的痕迹,餐刀躺在白色的手绢上: „In underwent in 1093 general, the lethal weapon of nameless assassination brightly Count.” “于通用历1093年,无名者刺杀朗顿伯爵的凶器。” The old elf read showing on display stage, Jenkin also looked: 老精灵念出展览台上的说明,詹金斯也看了过来: „I know, the rich men like collecting these strange things.” “我就知道,有钱人都喜欢收藏这些奇奇怪怪的东西。” He said like this, then with old elf together „visit” here. The holding of viscount are many, the style is also very mixed, the small part was a moment ago that table knife equally strange goods, majority relatively is ordinary. Although is somewhat strange, but itself does not have the issue. 他这样说道,然后和老精灵一起“参观”了一下这里的。子爵的藏品很多,样式也很杂,小部分是刚才那柄餐刀一样奇怪的物品,大部分则相对普通。所以虽然有些奇怪,但本身并没有问题。 Depended upon Eyes of Truth, Jenkin easily was also discovering that bestowal very much. It lies down in depending on the display cabinet of wall, that is a very fine black iron key, is not the key of present commonly used thin laminated shape belt/bring tooth, but is the cylinder is distributing the concave-convex mechanism/organization key. 依靠着真实之眼,詹金斯也很轻易的发现了那件恩赐。它躺在靠墙的展览柜中,那是一把非常精致的黑色铁钥匙,并不是现在常用的薄片状带齿的钥匙,而是圆柱形分布着凹凸的机关钥匙。 This is early period Steam Age, the key that is infatuated creates the unique lock that uses in people of invention, the modeling looks quite good. But quick people discovered that such lock and key are easy to be pried open, therefore then gradually gave up such form key, now also only then in the antique and history book, can see them. 这是蒸汽时代早期,痴迷于发明的人们创造出来的独特锁头所用的钥匙,造型看上去相当不错。但很快人们又发现这样的锁头和钥匙非常容易被撬开,因此便逐渐放弃了这样形式的钥匙,如今也只有在古董和历史书中,才能看到它们了。 „Is this.” “就是这个。” Jenkin said to the elf, the elf has the exclamation expression to look at that key, then saw that Jenkin extracts pair of white gloves to put from the pocket, later cautious takes down the coverglass. 詹金斯对精灵说道,精灵带着惊叹的表情看着那钥匙,然后看到詹金斯从口袋里抽出一双白手套戴上,随后小心翼翼的将玻璃罩取下来。 „This is to prevent to leave behind the fingerprint, although does not have many people to know fingerprint word now......” “这是为了防止留下指纹,虽说现在也没有多少人知道指纹这个单词......” He answered to the elf, put one side the coverglass, took out one stack from the pocket with the paper volume the bill of 10 pounds face value. 他向精灵解释道,将玻璃罩放到一边,又从口袋里取出一沓用纸卷卷起来的十镑面值的钞票。 „Such key, if according to the price of antique calculated, probably is......” “这样的钥匙,如果按照古董的价格来推算,大概是......” He is mumbling while number money, pulls out 6 paper money to put by the key, Jenkin will not work as the thief. 他一边嘟囔着一边数钱,抽出来六张纸币放到钥匙旁边,詹金斯可不会当小偷的。 „I paid 30% prices, now it turned over to me.” “我多出了30%价钱,现在它归我了。” Then satisfied nod, asking to take that key. But at this time the sharp ear of old elf moved, turning around suddenly looks to the blocked three building staircases: 这才满意的点点头,伸手要去拿那钥匙。但这时老精灵的尖耳朵一动,忽的转身看向被封锁的三楼楼梯: „Some people are opening the mechanism/organization!” “有人正在打开机关！” The floor of under foot is vibrating slightly, in the slits of floor has the slight white steam upward spout. Between two building the floors of ceilings and three buildings, opens the mechanism/organization installment of trap door. Although that looks sees the wooden wall, but in fact is the steeliness. 脚下的地板在微微震动,地板的缝隙间有轻微的白色蒸汽向上喷涌。在二楼天花板和三楼的地板之间,是打开活板门的机关装置。虽然那看上去就是一睹木墙,但实际上里面是钢制的。 As under three building floors the gear and sound of lever activity resounds, shines luminous from the third floor staircase lower end. Afterward that luminous unceasing expansion, is hiding the gate was opened. 随着三楼地板下齿轮和杠杆活动的声音响起,从三楼楼梯下端照射进一丝光亮。随后那光亮不断扩大,隐藏着的门被打开了。 Viscount Rudaus and tall thin a middle-aged man walked together, clothes that their wear goes out, even can also smell in the Nolan air faintly the unique burnt odor flavor. 鲁道斯子爵和一个高瘦的中年男人一起走了上来,他们都穿着外出的衣服,甚至隐隐还能嗅到诺兰空气中特有的焦臭味道。 The viscount touched the gas lamp knob on wall with the hand, he along the wall, all lamps of entire three building will open. In this process, the stranger is joining hands behind the back to examine the holding of viscount, plan that has not helped. 子爵用手摸到了墙壁上的煤气灯旋钮,他沿着墙壁,将整个三楼的所有灯都打开。在这个过程中,陌生人则背着手查看子爵的藏品,没有去帮忙的打算。 „This also is really the extraordinary thing.” “这还真是了不得的东西。” The stranger review that the table knife, was then turning around to examine on the wall a moment ago the oil painting of white bones skeleton. Viscount Rudaus had turned on all lamps at this time streaming with sweat, is hot, when three buildings not windowing household, in addition opened the mechanism/organization steam air current that a moment ago spurts inward, here really cannot stay for a long time. 陌生人点评着刚才那把餐刀,然后又转身去查看墙壁上白骨骷髅的油画。鲁道斯子爵这时已经汗流浃背的打开了所有的灯,天气炎热,三楼又不开窗户,再加上刚才开启机关时向内喷的蒸汽气流,这里实在是不能久留。 „You can have a look at all my holdings at will.” “您可以随意看看我所有的藏品。” Viscount polite saying, touched a forehead with the handkerchief. He is breathing heavily, evidently not frequently movement: 子爵客气的说道,用手绢摸了一下额头。他喘着粗气,看样子并不经常运动: „If does not have any issue, I first wait to two buildings, you elected to be direct well.” “如果没有什么问题,我先到二楼等待,您选好了直接下来就好。” He was saying wants to walk to the stairway impatiently, but was actually blocked by the stranger: 他说着就迫不及待想要向楼梯口走,但却被陌生人拦了下来: „Viscount, this time we are satisfied. Accepts your request, naturally can accomplish, the son of your disabled, will obtain that leg that he wants.” “子爵,这次我们非常满意。答应你的要求,自然会办到,你残疾的儿子,会得到他想要的那条腿。” On the strange face has the smile. 陌生人脸上带着微笑。 „That is good, that to be good.” “那就好、那就好。” tall thin the viscount bends the waist slightly, is saying while wipes away sweat, reason that he perspires, perhaps not only because of the temperatures of three buildings. 高瘦的子爵微微弯腰,一边说着一边擦汗,他流汗的理由,恐怕不仅仅是因为三楼的气温。 „We always mean what he says, this time you help, we will use best alloy casting that leg, with the most advanced technology, letting your son can adapt to the new body part.” „That was really good......” “我们向来说话算话,这次您帮了大忙,我们会用最好的合金铸造那条腿,会用最先进的技术,让你的儿子能够适应新的身体部件。”“那真是太好了......” Viscount Rudaus is saying while retrocedes, then suddenly stiffened, because he noticed that front man took out the pistol at a moderate pace: 鲁道斯子爵一边说着一边后退,然后忽然僵住了,因为他看到面前的男人不紧不慢的取出了手枪: „Sorry, you cannot live.” “但很抱歉,你不能活下来。” The handkerchief of viscount falls, was hidden the small-scale women pistol in handkerchief by the viscount is lifted. This type of spear/gun is disposable, the construction cost not poor usability is extremely but bad, not only the firing distance is low, the might is also very disappointing. 子爵的手绢滑落,被子爵藏在手绢中的小型女式手枪被举了起来。这种枪是一次性的,造价不菲但实用性极差,不仅仅射程低,威力也是非常差劲。 But now the distance of Viscount Rudaus and that man is very near, if can hit, although may not kill the person, but at least can win the precious escaping time for the viscount. 但现在鲁道斯子爵和那男人的距离很近,如果能够命中,虽然不一定能够打死人,但至少能为子爵争取宝贵的逃跑时间。 Does not have near the wall the expectation of Jenkin and old elf of stealth, Viscount Rudaus took the lead to open fire, the bullet that sprayed hit the left chest of man, but was splutters merely some sparks, withered warhead lunch lang lang ~ falling to floor on. The warhead jumped several then to circle in the ground, finally bumped into the display cabinet that is putting the table knife stopped. 不出墙边隐身的詹金斯和老精灵的预料,鲁道斯子爵率先开枪,喷射出的子弹击中了男人的左胸,但仅仅是溅射出一些火花,干瘪的弹头便当啷啷~的落到了地板上。弹头跳跃了几下便在地面打旋,最后碰到了放着餐刀的展览柜停了下来。 „Look, I know to be able like this.” “瞧,我就知道会这样。” The man said, looks at front whole person with a smile in the viscount of trembling. The men receive the own spear/gun, then crushed the glass of nearby display cabinet with the fist, took that table knife: 那男人说道,笑着看着面前整个人都在发抖的子爵。男人将自己的枪收起来,然后用拳头击碎了旁边展览柜的玻璃,将那柄餐刀取了出来: „Plays a game, you turn around to run now, if when returns to two buildings also to live, I let off you.” “玩个游戏,你现在转身跑,如果在回到二楼的时候还活着,我就放过你。” Is saying while presses firmly between the fingers the blade of table knife with the finger, table knife charged into the sky to shake the hand: 一边说着一边用手指捏住餐刀的刀刃,将餐刀的把手冲向上空晃了一下: „I count to three...... one” “我数到三......一” Viscount Rudaus seemed like from the floor shoots, he has not turned around to run to the stairway, but was holds near the wall that antique shield back behind. That is a small circle shield, cannot block the viscount whole body, but at least when bends the waist to run, can block his upper part. 鲁道斯子爵像是从地板上弹了起来,他没有转身跑向楼梯口,而是一把抓住墙边那只古董盾牌背在身后。那是一只小圆盾,挡不住子爵全身,但至少在弯腰奔跑的时候,能够挡住他的上半身。 „Two.” “二。” Although three building area are very big, but two people were not far from the staircase a moment ago, in addition that man counts deliberately slows down, when two were read, Viscount Rudaus had arrived at the stairway. 虽然三楼面积很大,但刚才两人距离楼梯并不远,再加上那男人数数的时候刻意放慢,当二被念出,鲁道斯子爵已经到了楼梯口。 „Three!” “三！” The table knife changes to the silver light to depart from the male person hand together, at that moment turns away from his viscount look to blow off, he felt, understood, even if oneself had the shield, that table knife will still defend in the next second of puncture, across his body, then sewed on opposite wall. 餐刀化作一道银光从男人手中飞出,那一刻背对着他的子爵眼神放空,他感觉到了,也明白了,即使自己有盾牌,那柄餐刀也会在下一秒击穿防御,穿过他的身体,然后钉在对面的墙上。 He turned very quiet to look to wait for arrival of death surprisedly, has not actually thought that at that moment is not willing to arrive. Supports oneself to turn around with the complete courage, then saw that young people are turning away from oneself, grips the table knife with two fingers. 他屏住呼吸面露惊讶的等待着死亡的降临,却没想到那一刻迟迟不肯到来。用全部的勇气支撑自己转过身,然后看到一个年轻人背对着自己,用两根手指夹住餐刀。 Gifted from Machine Artisan Association, on the face has covered entirely the haze. 来自齿轮工匠会的恩赐者,脸上则已经布满了阴霾。 „I have thought......” “我一直认为......” Jenkin just an opens the mouth, stood in his opposite Gifted then decisive pocket pulls out a notebook. He acts very rapidly, when Jenkin departs the table knife in hand, before attempting that notebook punctures, the notebook has burnt. 詹金斯刚一开口,站在他对面的恩赐者便果断的口袋中掏出一只笔记本。他行动非常迅速,以至于当詹金斯将手中的餐刀飞出,试图将那笔记本刺破之前,笔记本已经燃烧起来了。 That notebook is not the antique, is ordinary bargain-priced goods that can buy everywhere. But with its fierce combustion, a thick fog fast proliferation that has the odor engine oil flavor to this room. Everyone coughs at once, including Machine Artisan Association Gifted, no one can endure this flavor. 那本笔记本不是古董,是普通的可以随处买到的便宜货。但随着它剧烈的燃烧,一股有着恶臭机油味道的浓雾快速的扩散到这个房间。一时之间所有人都咳嗽起来,包括齿轮工匠会的恩赐者在内,没有人能够忍受得住这种味道。 Waits for the black fog gradual dissipation, the exhibition halls in three buildings had changed an appearance. Originally sultry room moist burning hot, the slit of floor is emitting upwardly the scalding hot steam, burnt the red chains to block four sides wall. The red light covered entirely the entire room, making here seem like crater Magma Hell, the oxygen in air becomes thin, only average person Viscount Rudaus on the scene, is about than a step feeling unable to pant for breath the Jenkin cat, 等黑雾逐渐的消散,三楼的展览厅已经变了一个样子。原本闷热的房间更加的潮湿炎热,地板的缝隙向上喷吐着灼热的蒸汽,烫红的锁链封锁了四面的墙壁。红光布满了整个房间,让这里看起来像是火山口的熔岩地狱,空气中的氧气变得稀薄,在场唯一的普通人鲁道斯子爵,比詹金斯的猫更快一步的感觉无法喘息, Change that the display cabinet has no actually, but Jenkin discovered that the own hands and feet locked by four hot red chains, the chains volume temperature will just very make the skin bubble, but chains another end is under foot the lock catch on floor. 展览柜倒是没有任何的变化,只是詹金斯发现自己的手脚被四根烫红的锁链锁住了,锁链额温度刚刚好不会让皮肤起泡,而锁链另一端是脚下的地板上的锁扣。 Not only then his, by the steam fog of spout, Jenkin can see Viscount Rudaus everywhere, hides the old elf as well as Gifted of artisan meeting near wall, all locked by the chains. Only then hides the cat in Jenkin pocket has not received this treatment, Chocolate dislikes the collar and bell, if locked by the chains, certainly been mad going crazy. 不仅仅只有他这样,透过四处喷涌的蒸汽雾,詹金斯能够看到鲁道斯子爵,藏在墙壁边的老精灵以及工匠会的恩赐者,也全都被锁链锁住了。只有藏在詹金斯口袋里的猫没有受到这种待遇,巧克力连项圈和铃铛都讨厌,如果被锁链锁住,一定会被气的发疯。 „believer of lies!” “谎言的信徒！” On that face covered entirely the middle-aged person of haze to shout to Jenkin: 那个脸上布满了阴霾的中年人冲詹金斯喊道: „Really appeared! We expected that this point, this you gave up any idea of time prevents our plans again.” “果然出现了！我们预料到了这一点,这一次你休想再阻止我们的计划。” After leaving Ruane, Jenkin always meets Machine Artisan Association Gifted in various strange places, a short time ago in tavern, but also Miss Stiviere overpowered one with Senior Sister own. They are want to restore underground Difference Engine without doubt, what unfortunately is always bumped into by Jenkin. 离开鲁恩后,詹金斯总是在各种奇怪的地方遇到齿轮工匠会的恩赐者,前不久在酒馆中,还和自己的师姐斯蒂薇尔小姐一起制服了一个。他们无疑是想要修复地下的差分机,但不巧的是总是被詹金斯撞见。 This probably is so-called Fate, showed that underground Difference Engine absolutely is related with the era end disaster or Beast of Calamity, is Saviour Fate attracts Jenkin and Machine Artisan Association meet. 这大概是所谓的命运,证明地下的差分机绝对和纪元末的灾难或者灾厄之兽有关,是救世者的命运吸引詹金斯和齿轮工匠会相遇。 Jenkin has not refuted the own status, but attempted to entrain a chains. He now is Rank 7 Gifted, before is Demigod, mortal peak. Without corresponding ability, meets the bullet or the bare-handed broken wall empty-handed is still the easy matter, but this used Titan's Power immediately, entrains slightly is imprisoning the chains of hands and feet motionless. 詹金斯没有去反驳自己的身份,而是尝试着拽了一下锁链。他现在是七级恩赐者,是半神以前凡人巅峰。即使没有对应能力,空手接子弹或者徒手破墙也是轻而易举的事情,但此刻即使用了泰坦之力,也丝毫拽不动禁锢着手脚的锁链。 PS: Without the accident/surprise, author Monarch insisted before ending this, every morning this chapter is 3 K, hopes that everyone did not want to fatten up finally, before letting this story ended, the result can attractively select...... did not expect that can subscribe ten thousand, was actually not possible.
