The distant place, stands erect in the dim metal black tower under gray fog and setting sun rises at the visible speed slowly. The speed is slow, but indeed is rising. From this made the ground ascend haze, but also made that stand erect in the shadow that under the setting sun afterglow had, becoming was getting more and more long, until seeming like the treasured sword same passed through the Nolan eastern city. 远处,矗立在朦胧灰雾和夕阳下的金属黑塔以肉眼可见的速度缓慢上升。速度非常慢,但的确在上升。由此让地面升腾起了一阵烟气,但也使得那屹立在落日余晖下产生的影子,变得越来越长,直至像是宝剑一样贯穿了诺兰的东部城区。 Looking from the Jenkin current position, the sunset glow of setting sun and summer behind black tower. But this not only has not made the metal tower splendid, instead the ray of Sun seems like by black tower is absorbed to be the same, leaves people are scared and anxious. 从詹金斯目前的位置看,夕阳和夏日的晚霞就在黑塔后面。但这非但没有让金属塔熠熠生辉,反而太阳的光芒像是被黑塔吸收掉一样,留给人们的只有恐慌和不安。 Even without Eyes of Truth, Jenkin also knows that on the powerful Strange Item black miraculous glow, can be in the degree that his never met at this time absolutely. He opened the mouth to say anything, but actually in feeling mouth bitter and astringent incomparable. 即使不用真实之眼,詹金斯也知道那原本就强盛的诡物黑色灵光,此时绝对能到了他从未遇到的程度。他开口想要说些什么,但却感觉口腔里苦涩无比。 It is not Jenkin has the smelly breath, is air some are not right. 并不是詹金斯有口臭,是空气有些不对劲。 „Covers the mouth.” “捂住嘴巴。” He said to Miss Magic, Mr. Hood and Miss Windsor warning, the cat also puts in the pocket the shoulder is standing conveniently. 他对着魔法小姐、兜帽先生和温莎小姐警告道,顺手将肩头站着的猫也放到口袋里。 „What flavor is this?” “这是什么味道？” Miss Magic also smelled the unusual smell in air. 魔法小姐也嗅到了空气中的异味。 „After probably the fuel oils soak in water, mixes up with the kitchen trash, then put a entire summer to ferment.” “好像是油料泡水后,和厨房垃圾混在一起,然后放了一整个夏天发酵。” Mr. Hood is frowning saying that covered up the mouth and nose with the sleeve. Jenkin heard that the word looked at his one eyes accidentally/surprisingly, does not know how he knows such strange flavor. 兜帽先生皱着眉头说道,用袖子掩住了口鼻。詹金斯闻言意外的看了他一眼,不知道他是怎么知晓这么奇怪的味道。 Although this flavor chokes the nose very much, but at least is not a toxic gas- not long-time inspiration is not the toxic gas. But for the health, Jenkin suggested the servants first return to the Queen Isabella belt/bring the house, he knows that will not have the aftershock to happen. 虽然这味道很呛鼻子,但至少并不是毒气-不长久的吸入就不是毒气。但为了身体健康,詹金斯还是建议仆人们先将女王伊莎贝拉带回到宅子里,他知道不会有余震发生了。 Later then makes Miss Magic bring Miss Windsor to leave in advance, Jenkin by Jenkin the Williams status after Mr. Hood expressed gratitude, makes Mr. Hood as soon as possible go back, do not hit the same place with the Church team. 之后便让魔法小姐带着温莎小姐先行离开,詹金斯以詹金斯・威廉姆特的身份向兜帽先生道谢后,也让兜帽先生尽快回去,不要和教会的队伍撞到一起。 Afterward he side Queen ensure she will not pass away immediately, after Church people arrive, makes the servant inform to be in Nolan Duke to come. 随后他在女王身边确保她不会马上过世,等教会的人们来到后,才让仆人去通知正在诺兰的公爵们过来一趟。 But during this, all related Queen Isabella materials that today investigate, Jenkin all gave Church. He does not plan to conceal this matter, and does not need. How must process as for Church, Jenkin does not want to go to manage. 而这期间,今天调查到的所有有关的女王伊莎贝拉的资料,詹金斯全都交给了教会。他不打算隐瞒这件事,而且也没有必要。至于教会要如何处理,詹金斯也不想去管。 He only knows that oneself will tell Bishop Parod, the matter about throne must speed up some. In the past concerned about the peaceful power transfer, Jenkin here progress not has been quick, has not replied on the Church strength. 他只知道自己会告诉帕罗德主教,关于王位的事情要加快一些了。过去碍于和平的权利交接,詹金斯这边的进度一直不算快,也没怎么借助教会的力量。 But starting today, all became different. Jenkin looked to see clearly completely, he should not have any hope to that old person. About succeeding to the throne the matter, cannot drag again, he must as soon as possible the ascending a height to get a broad view throne. 但从今天起,一切就变得不一样了。詹金斯完全看看清楚了,他不应该对那个老人报以任何的希望。关于继位的事情,不能再拖下去了,他要尽快登临王座。 Queen Isabella using the extraordinary strength, contacts mystically with Tarkvin the Proud One as well as Sarssi II different, the former is for eradication curse, although latter because of selfishness, but confessing, Ruane disaster and Tree Room three Demigod, with the Sarssi II not absolute relations. 女王伊莎贝拉利用超凡力量,和高傲者塔克文以及萨尔希二世接触神秘都不一样,前者是为了破除身上的诅咒,后者虽然是因为私心,但坦白来说,鲁恩的灾难和树屋的三名半神,都与萨尔希二世没有绝对的关系。 But Queen Isabella is truly borrowing the mysterious strength murder, even with was recognized by Church for the Tree Room cooperation of illegal organization. Although said with her, so long as she expressed the confession, Church not possible therefore forced her to abdicate, but Jenkin also believes Church will not easily make „forgiving” the action. 但女王伊莎贝拉确实在借用神秘的力量杀人,甚至和被教会认定为非法组织的树屋合作。虽然和她说的一样,只要她表示忏悔,教会不可能因此逼迫她退位,但詹金斯也相信教会不会轻易做出“原谅”的这种举动。 Especially, he will not permit the action that Church makes to forgive. 特别是,他不会允许教会做出原谅的这种举动。 Confirmed after Duke that the Church team and goes on a trip in a hurry arrived, Jenkin leaves the hotel. Douglas Duke wants to block Jenkin actually, asked about here special details, but Jenkin has not paid attention to him. 确认教会的队伍和行色匆匆的公爵们到了以后,詹金斯才离开宅邸。道格拉斯公爵倒是想要拦住詹金斯,询问这里的具体情况,但詹金斯没有理会他。 He is gloomy the face and Chief Binsey who alerts outside the house said little while words, knows opportunity that this 12 Churches „treasuring” this hard-won Queen Isabella makes mistakes very much, therefore this matter will not easily settle. 他阴沉着脸和在宅子外戒备的宾西队长说了会儿话,知道这次十二教会都很“珍惜”这来之不易的女王伊莎贝拉犯错的机会,所以这件事不会轻易了结的。 „As for that tower.” “至于那座塔。” Chief Binsey aims at that direction: 宾西队长指向那个方向: „My squad is only responsible for here perimeter security, therefore is not receives your notice. We leave the church time, the earthquake just happened, Miss Bevanna and we saw rise of tower together, she has overtaken now probably.” Jenkin therefore then brings Chocolate to go forward in the metal The High Tower direction, because the earthquake just happened, on the avenue that the gray fog winds around has many people. Although the frequency of Nolan earthquake was very recently high, but no one dares to go to make a bet the own house with God of Death, since the previous time has not damaged, this time will definitely not damage. “我的小队只负责这里的外围警戒,所以并不是一接到你的通知就出发。我们离开教堂的时候,地震才刚刚发生,贝凡娜小姐和我们一起看到了塔的升高,她现在大概已经赶过去了。”詹金斯于是便带着巧克力向着金属高塔的方向前进,因为地震才刚刚发生,灰雾缭绕的大街上有不少人。虽说最近诺兰地震的频率很高,但没有人敢去和死神打赌自己的房子既然上次没有损坏,这次也肯定不会损坏。 The crowd on street is not very crowded, but discussed the black tower matter that is rising inexplicably mostly. Now the black tower altitude has no longer changed, but that looks at one highly merely, has the inexplicable constriction. 街上的人群不算很拥挤,但大都谈论着那座莫名升高的黑塔的事情。现在黑塔的高度已经不再变化,但那高度仅仅是看一眼,就有莫名的压迫感。 It stands erect in the Nolan City town center, although Jenkin is not understood regarding the marvelous sight scenery of this world very much, but he will make a bet, present black tower probably is one of the the world's highest towers. 它就屹立在诺兰市的市中心,虽然詹金斯对于这个世界的奇观景物并不是很了解,但他敢打赌,现在的黑塔大概是这个世界最高的塔之一。 city resident plaza nearby block was blocked at a bigger effort, even Jenkin, after must wait for the status checking calibration, can enter. This not only needs him to release the own soul symbol as the identification, but also needs to answer some issues, and signs in the confidentiality agreement is good. 市民广场附近的街区以更大的力度被封锁了起来,即使是詹金斯,也必须等待身份核实校准后才能进入。这不仅仅需要他释放自己的灵魂徽记作为身份证明,还需要回答一些问题,并在保密协定上签字才行。 Even so, is the simplified flow. Because in principle, except for is allowed to enter block Church Gifted because of the work reason at present, any other does not allow to enter with the personnel who this matter has nothing to do with. Jenkin is the antique store apprentice of Church half civilian post, naturally is also belongs „with this matter has nothing to do with” the crowd. 即使是这样,也已经算是简化的流程了。因为从原则上来讲,目前除了因为工作原因被允许进入街区内部的教会恩赐者,其他任何与此事无关的人员都不允许进入。詹金斯是教会半文职的古董店学徒,当然也是属于“与此事无关”的人群。 Before Miss Bevanna arrives at the blockade belt/bring of intersection, leads into the block personally Jenkin, two people go on a trip in a hurry walks to The High Tower along the street. Periphery Jenkin looks at the tension-filled atmosphere, as well as these appear and disappear in the gray fog whole face serious people, felt that the matter as if thinks oneself is more serious than: 贝凡娜小姐亲自到街口的封锁带前将詹金斯带入街区内部,两人行色匆匆的沿着街道向高塔行走。詹金斯看着周围紧张的气氛,以及那些出没于灰雾中满脸严肃的人们,感觉事情似乎比自己想的还要严重: „What has newly to discover?” “有什么新发现是吗？” He asked. 他问道。 „That The High Tower...... our beforehand guesses were wrong.” “那座高塔......我们以前的猜测都错了。” Under the arriving tower of short distance, discovered that the area of original tower footing position entire big one time, this explained that these cross-sectional area of tower from underground stretches out time must be bigger than the above part. 近距离的来到塔下,发现原本的塔基位置的面积整整大了一倍,这说明这一次从地下伸出的塔的截面积要大于上面的部分。 Besides Miss Bevanna, 78 True God Church Demigod here, looked at one in a hurry, even saw Son of God from machinery Church. But two people do not have to greet with enough time, that mister before the tower hugs, complexion excited and two gray-haired old people are arguing anything. 除了贝凡娜小姐以外,还有七八位正神教会半神在这里,匆匆看了一眼,甚至看到了来自机械教会的圣子。但两人没来得及打招呼,那位先生正在塔前抱着手,面色激动的和两位头发花白的老人争论着什么。 „At present this is the black tower schematic diagram that draws.” “这是目前绘出的黑塔的草图。” Miss Bevanna leads Jenkin to arrive at the position that Secret Guardian they are, because of the expansion of tower footing, the shed of original tent and temporary build was moved some distances outward, now Secret Guardian and apprentice under quantity shed also became more. 贝凡娜小姐领着詹金斯来到守密人他们所在的位置,因为塔基的扩大,原本的帐篷和临时搭建的棚子被向外移动了一些距离,现在棚子下的守密人和学徒数量也变得更多了。 Mr. Smith hears the Miss Bevanna sound, then the making way position makes Jenkin see that on the desktop uses the pencil in the huge black tower model on the white paper outlining, above wrote some data simply. 史密斯先生听到贝凡娜小姐的声音,便让开位置让詹金斯看到桌面上用铅笔在白纸上勾勒出的巨大的黑塔模型,上面简单的书写了一些数据。 Most above is first raising The High Tower, the surface does not have the pattern, under is second raising The High Tower, obviously is higher, wide in the first time . Moreover the surface presented some fuzzy portrays, but on the paper has not drawn clearly. 最上方是第一次升起的高塔,表面没有花纹,下方是第二次升起的高塔,明显高于、宽于第一次,而且表面出现了一些模糊的刻画,但纸上没有画清楚。 „Before you come, a very simple experiment, making machinery Church find that first time part that presented in the ground, with these revealed ground part the ingredient and color of tower to be entirely different time newly.” “在你来之前,一个很简单的实验,让机械教会发现第一次出现在地面的部分,与这一次新露出地面的部分的塔的成分、颜色截然不同。” „What do you mean?” “什么意思？” „Meaning that is, previous time standing tall and erect that surfaces several that partially is not the tower, but is one of the tower. This time new was second of black tower number ..... believer of lies once took risk to go into the tower from top to bottom a short time ago, in his description, the black tower interior did not have the staircase . Moreover the field of vision above edge could not see the ceiling......” “意思也就是,上次露出地面的高耸的部分并不是塔的某几层,而是塔的一层。这一次新出现的则是黑塔从上向下数的第二层.....前不久谎言的信徒曾冒险闯入塔中,在他的描绘中,黑塔内部没有楼梯,而且视野上方边缘也看不到天花板......” Then Jenkin understood, he has turned the head to look to black tower that almost cannot see to withstand/top, then imagined this is only uppermost tower two floors, a being afraid strange feeling made his some heart send coldly. 这下詹金斯就明白了,他转过头望向几乎看不到顶的黑塔,然后想象了一下这只是塔最上面的两层,一种不寒而栗的奇怪感觉让他有些心底发寒。 On the holding down shoulder the head of Chocolate does not make it move heedlessly, scruple bending the waist looks to the schematic diagram on table: 按住肩膀上巧克力的头不让它乱动,迟疑的弯腰看向桌上的草图: „In other words does the internal structure of this tower have the possibilities and our current tentative plans is completely different? Moreover, since second will stretch out the ground suddenly, then the underground multi-layer, is successively will also appear in the future?” “也就是说这座塔的内部结构有可能和我们目前的设想完全不同？而且,既然第二层会忽然伸出地面,那么地下的更多层,是不是也会在以后的日子里陆续出现？” „Probably is this, machinery Church said that this is absolutely possible.” “大概是这样的,机械教会说这是完全有可能的。” Secret Guardian replied. 守密人回答道。 „But why is this? Why will The High Tower rise suddenly? Can some reasons?” “但这是为什么？为什么高塔会忽然上升？这总该有些理由吧？” „According to your view, believer of lies kills Machine Artisan Association Gifted in the city east mining area today, our current views are, rise of tower is related with this.” “根据你的说法,今天谎言的信徒在城东矿区杀死了一名齿轮工匠会的恩赐者,我们目前的看法是,塔的升高与此有关。” Jenkin went to Church to report a moment ago Queen Isabella time, is the excuse on sliding the road of cat met with believer of lies, the latter gave him then to vanish to disappear one stack of materials. 詹金斯刚才去教会举报女王伊莎贝拉的时候,就是借口在溜猫的路上与谎言的信徒相遇,后者将一沓资料给了他便消失不见了。 „Actually therefore this tower does make what to use? Since had stretched out second, we had more clues, can discover some recent information?” “所以这座塔究竟是做什么用的？既然已经伸出了第二层,我们有了更多的线索,是不是能够发现些新的信息？” He also asked. 他又问道。 „This was very difficult saying that currently does not have the satisfying progress.” “这很难说,目前还没有令人满意的进展。” Secret Guardian somewhat awkward saying. 守密人有些为难的说道。 „Then these patterns? What tower is the pattern of second surrounding?” “那么这些花纹呢？塔的第二层外围的花纹又是什么？” Jenkin aims at that schematic diagram. 詹金斯指向那草图。 „The trace of black tower surrounding is not fixed, but is the slow change.” “黑塔外围的纹路并不是固定的,而是缓慢变化的。” Old Secret Guardian explained again: 老守密人再次解释道: The part that „it reveals one time is scarce, before a half hour just discovered these calibration lines, we even think that was some not well-known ancient writing. The variation rates of these calibration lines are very slow, I think , to know the calibration line complete appearance, at least takes one month.” “它一次性显露的部分非常稀少,在半小时前刚发现那些刻纹的时候,我们甚至以为那是某种不知名的古代文字。这些刻纹的变化速度很缓慢,我想如果想要知晓刻纹全部的样子,至少要一个月的时间。” „But why the first peripheral blank, second does have the calibration line?” “但为什么第一层外围空白,第二层有刻纹？” „Does not know.” “不知道。” Secret Guardian shakes the head again. 守密人再次摇头。 Jenkin sees this also to know that oneself cannot ask more things, he somewhat awkward turning around looks to that black tower, does not know whether oneself should take risk to rush again one time. 詹金斯见此也知道自己问不出更多的东西,他有些为难的转身看向那黑塔的下方,不知道自己是否应该再次冒险闯进去一次。 First is Material World three big human Kingdom the bronze resembles of King, he believe the second definitely somewhat different things. 第一层是物质世界三大人类王国的王者们的青铜像,他相信第二层肯定会有些不一样的东西。 PS: This chapter of 3 K.
