But in the mainland did seal of appearance of desert under former days temple, what relations with taking Nolan have for Difference Engine of activity foothold?” “难道,伯努利先生身上的秘密,和差分机有关？但大陆中部沙漠的显露在旧日神殿下的封印,和以诺兰为活动据点的差分机有什么关系？” Although cannot think through temporarily, but since in the mansion does not have the clue, Jenkin after handling underground blacksmith workshop, the decision returns to Buick small town to look. No matter Difference Engine whether appears there, confirmed that Church receives the disposal plan after news is also the excellent matter. 虽然暂时想不通,但既然大宅中已经没有了线索,詹金斯在处置了地下的铁匠工坊后,还是决定返回别克托小镇看一看。不管差分机是否出现在那里,确认一下教会收到消息后的处理方案也是极好的事情。 Therefore he called the own unicorn in courtyard, the small beast four legs bent down curvingly lowly in the ground enable Jenkin to be able very convenient rode. 于是他在院子里叫出了自己的独角兽,小兽四腿弯曲低伏在地面上让詹金斯可以很方便的骑上去。 Is wanting to bring the cat to embark to fly together to the sky, actually saw that by the weed is covering the trail on, Mr. Hood, Mr. Black Cat and Miss Hundred Spirits Hathaway, is accompanying. 正想要带着猫一起出发飞向天空,却又看到那条被荒草掩盖着的小径上,兜帽先生、黑猫先生和百灵小姐海瑟薇,正结伴走来。 Three people walk while speak, mounts the hillside in the process, sees the mansion to expose the complete picture little.

What buried treasure?” “各位下午好,是......嗯？什么宝藏？” He somewhat vacant asking, then turned the head to look suddenly to behind mansion, on the face presented the surprised facial expression: 他有些茫然的问道,然后又忽然转头看向身后的大宅,脸上出现了惊讶的神情: „You said that buried treasure here?

Although the buried treasure is precious, but the friendship of four people are more precious, not to mention, indeed is Mr. Candle first arrives. 黑猫先生问道,然后又想邀请蜡烛先生和他们一起进去。宝藏虽然宝贵,但四个人的友谊更加宝贵,更不用说,的确是蜡烛先生先到达的。 „No, I just came out, coming to here to have other things.” “不,我是刚出来,来这里是有其他的事情。” He answered, then stepped up to the unicorn. The small beast called lightly, is marking, prepares to take off: 他解释道,紧接着便跨上了独角兽。小兽轻鸣了一下,然后在原地踏步,准备起飞: „Went in does not need, currently I have matter awfully to process. The buried treasure I had not found, you do not need to go to the basement, I have inspected, the basement does not have the buried treasure. Two clues that I obtain, indicate the buried treasure respectively not in the wilderness, the buried treasure in a little eagle resembles. You look to the building, do not forget to inspect statue on the stair rails, that quite confuses the position of person.” “进去就不必了,现在我可是有很要命的事情必须处理。宝藏我没有找到,你们不用去地下室,我已经检查过了,地下室没有宝藏。我得到的两条线索,分别指明宝藏不在荒郊野外,宝藏在一座小雕像里。你们到楼上去找吧,也不要忘记检查楼梯扶手上的雕像,那可是相当迷惑人的位置。” Saying, the unicorn has been leaving the ground, three friends are looking up Mr. Candle to lift off: 说着,独角兽已经离开地面,三位朋友抬着头看着蜡烛先生升空: „Really doesn't look with us? Pitifully too, you had arrived at ‚end point’.” “真的不和我们一起去找吗？太可惜了,你可是已经到达‘终点’了。” Mr. Hood asking again, the sound is very loud, preventing Jenkin unable to hear. 兜帽先生再一次的问道,声音很大,防止詹金斯听不到。 „Thank your good intentions, but this time really had the matter. Then met again, after you found the buried treasure, is also quicker leaves, here is unsafe.” “感谢你们的好意,但这次实在是有事情。那么再会了,你们找到宝藏后也快些离开,这里不安全。” Then, the unicorn then brings the man and cat rushed to the upper air. Only leaves behind the three people before mansion, looks at them to change to a white spot to vanish in somewhat gloomy sky distant place. 说完,独角兽便带着男人和猫冲上了高空。只留下大宅前的三个人,望着它们化作一个白点消失在有些阴沉的天空远处。 For action, in in the air, Jenkin took off the black robe to change the own appearance, the white cat vanilla also returned to the black and white coat color of Chocolate. 为了方便行动,在空中的时候,詹金斯就脱下黑袍变回了自己的样子,白猫香草也回归了巧克力的黑白毛色。 In Buick small town surrounding, perceives in the town not to present the large-scale fight Jenkin, jumped down the unicorn outside the town, then entered the small town quickly. 在别克托小镇外围,觉察到镇子里没有出现大规模战斗的詹金斯,在镇子外跳下了独角兽,然后快步进入了小镇。 Arrives around the the Sage church time, really saw catches up with the Gifted squad that from Nolan, had conducted the martial law to the church. Be responsible for knowing Jenkin in the entrance the copyist of hand, made him go in directly. 来到贤者教堂附近的时候,果然看到了从诺兰赶来的恩赐者小队,已经对教堂进行了戒严。负责在门口把手的抄写员认识詹金斯,直接让他进去了。 Jenkin on the three stairs of church entrance, met talk Mr. Gilbert and Ms. Lawrence who and Mr. Kafka while walk. These three are Church Demigod, latter two only move in Evergreen Forest, Jenkin is not very familiar. 詹金斯在教堂门口的三层台阶上,遇到了一边谈话一边走出来的基尔伯特先生、劳伦斯女士和卡夫卡先生。这三位都是教会半神,后两位只在常青森林活动,詹金斯并不是很熟悉。 „, Jenkin, you came.” “哦,詹金斯,你来了。” Mr. Gilbert greets, three people halt with Jenkin brief the current situation: 基尔伯特先生打了声招呼,三人站住和詹金斯介绍目前的情况: „ Bevanna received you to deliver to the news of church, after the southern church parish as well as Holy See confirmed that discovered that possibly really had da to be troublesome. According to news that spread from the church parish of Bernoulli guarding, this person before leaving desert small town, the character changes, will frequently appear disappears without a trace the long-term situation. “贝凡娜接到了你送到教堂的消息,和南方教区以及教廷确认后,发现可能真的有da麻烦了。根据从伯努利原本驻守的教区传来的消息,这个人在离开沙漠小镇前,性格大变,而且经常会出现不知去向很长时间的情况。 Just in time, rides the steam train to prepare Nolan Fate Church one group, from small town approximately 2.5 miles( 4.02 kilometers) the station rests temporarily, including that Rank 9 Demigod Miss Bronianis. They helped conduct the divination, although is unable to conduct very concrete divination, finally still showed, former days in the obsidian seal under church had the thing. ” 正巧,坐蒸汽火车准备来诺兰的命运教会的一行人,在距离小镇约2.5英里(4.02千米)的车站暂时休息,其中有那位九级半神布罗妮昂斯小姐。她们帮忙进行了占卜,虽然无法进行很具体的占卜,结果依然显示,旧日教堂下的黑曜石封印中原本是有东西。” „Did Mr. Bernoulli carry off that thing?” “伯努利先生带走了那东西？” „Or might also be is that thing followed Alway Bernoulli forcefully.” “或者说,也有可能是是那东西强行跟上了奥尔维・伯努利。” Mr. Gilbert said. 基尔伯特先生说道。 „Where does Mr. Bernoulli go to now?” “伯努利先生现在去哪里了？” „We arrive has disappeared.” “我们来到的时候就已经不见了。” Mr. Gilbert shakes the head, four people moved toward outside the church together. The Nolan aspect expected that here may have the big problem, the news as well as in desert small town prediction the result of therefore Jenkin transmitting, informed other Church together. 基尔伯特先生摇摇头,四个人一起走向了教堂外。诺兰方面预料到了这里可能会出现大问题,因此将詹金斯传来的消息以及在沙漠小镇预言的结果,一起通知了其他教会。 The joint investigation group that 12 Churches composes had arrived at eastern suburbs of Nolan, Mr. Gilbert three people of Demigod that is Sage Church sends out, the battle efficiency that other Church send out does not compare this to be few. 十二教会组成的联合调查团已经来到了诺兰东郊,基尔伯特先生三人是贤者教会派出的半神,其他教会派出的战斗力并不比这要少。 This thinks that then is the long search process, but just arrived on the avenue the other members of preparation and fact-finding team converges by the doing next step action arrangement, Jenkin then perceived that had the raindrop to crash from the sky. 本以为接下来便是漫长的搜寻过程,但刚来到大街上准备和调查团的其他成员汇合以做下一步的行动安排,詹金斯便觉察到了有雨滴从天空坠落。 Forces in the cat on shoulder the pocket, but has not admitted in the pocket that the blue light metal sphere is, at the Blake Town past has made mistake, he will not be wrong one time. Afterward, four people observe simultaneously not far away outside the town/subdues, huge the shadow of monster giant four walk fully, flashes past after the dark clouds of sky. 将肩膀上的猫塞进口袋里,但没有放进蓝光金属圆球所在的口袋里,在布莱克镇的过去犯过的错误,他可不会再错一次。随后,四人同时观察到在镇外不远处,一个庞大的巨型四足行走的怪物的黑影,在天空的黑云后一闪而过。 Meanwhile, in great whale the sound of cry like abyss, reached everyone's ear. Jenkin looks to the oneself exposed back of the hand outside, the rainwater contacts the skin, the black haze that some are not easy to detect braves immediately. 同时,如同深渊中巨鲸的叫声的声音,传进了所有人的耳朵。詹金斯看向自己裸露在外的手背,雨水接触到皮肤,一些不易察觉的黑色烟气立刻冒了出来。 „Does that shadow somewhat seem like the appearance of cat? Was in the legend swallowed Moon Swallowing Civet of primitive moon?” “那个黑影怎么有些像是猫的样子？难道是传说中吞噬了原始月亮的吞月灵猫？” Three Demigod soar, flies to the place that the shadow presents. Jenkin was being drawn by Mr. Gilbert, shouts loudly, the in the air wind sound/rumor was really big. 三位半神腾空而起,飞向黑影出现的地方。詹金斯被基尔伯特先生拉着,大声喊道,空中的风声实在是太大了。 „Meow ~” “喵~” Chocolate revealed a pair of small ear from the chest front pocket, the furry ear shook shaking, it heard Jenkin to call its name a moment ago. 巧克力从胸前的口袋露出了一对小耳朵,毛茸茸的耳朵抖了抖,刚才它听到詹金斯在喊它的名字。 „It is not such bad situation, do not think that fearfully.” “不会是这么糟糕的情况,不要想得那么可怕。” Mr. Gilbert shouts to shout similarly. 基尔伯特先生同样扯着嗓子喊道。 But in the meantime, the shadow after cloud layer flashes through again, probably in the night, the strange lifeform of before the searchlight passing through. Then all sees this person, just like Jenkin, detected indeed is a huge cat shape lifeform. 而就在此时,云层后的黑影再次闪过,像是在黑夜中,从探照灯前经过的奇怪生物。这下所有看到这一幕的人,都如同詹金斯一样,发觉了的确是一只巨大猫形生物。 „Meow ~” “喵~” Before Chocolate two , the claw is digging up the pocket edge, the small face finds out first half side, eye exactly in the above of pocket edge, curious looks to the shadow after distant place dark clouds. 巧克力的两只前爪扒着口袋边缘,小脸探出上半边,眼睛恰好在口袋边缘的上方,好奇的看向远处黑云后的黑影。 Matter always unknowingly will become compared with bad that everyone will expect, before one line of four people will fall to the ground. With the emergence of again that whale cry, from below solid field, chains tentacles break out from the ground, the dance is reaching the sky. 事情总是会在不经意间变得比所有人预料的更糟糕,在一行四人落地前。随着那鲸鱼叫声的再次出现,从下方坚实的田野中,一条条锁链触手破土而出,狂舞着伸向天空。 The scalding hot white steam from underground spews out in the small mouth that the chains breaks out, several hundred chains go straight up in the white steam on. Finally drilled into the cloud layer, twined that huge shadow. 灼热的白色蒸汽在锁链破出的小口中从地下喷涌而出,数百根锁链在白色蒸汽中直升而上。最终钻入了云层,缠绕住了那个巨大的黑影。 Fiercely to next, while the whale cry presents for the third time, on that face has three eyes, under the body has the leg that four joints turn over, is the strange cat lifeform of nine tails, makes an appearance after the cloud layer finally. 猛地向下一拉,在鲸鱼叫声第三次出现的同时,那只脸上有三只眼睛,身下有四条骨节翻转的腿,身后是九根尾巴的奇异猫型生物,也终于从云层后露面。 „Meow ~” “喵~” Chocolate called one, determined that this by the ugly fellow affirmation and oneself that the chains ties up irrelevant, then shrank the head again. 巧克力叫了一声,确定这个被锁链捆绑的丑陋家伙肯定和自己无关,便重新将脑袋缩了回去。 But Mr. Gilbert has recognized this is anything, Jenkin also therefore heard the answer: 而基尔伯特先生已经认出了这是什么,詹金斯也因此听到了答案: „the Sage, originally in the ancient times legend real.” “贤者啊,原来古代传说是真的。” „What legend?” “什么传说？” Four people are descending, the joint investigation group also rushed to the nearby: 四人正在降落,联合调查团也赶到了附近: „Was buried by the former days nameless god under the desert, by the stone of black is suppressing the ancient times wicked Beast Cloud Whale Beast, this is can operate the fearful monster of cloud and smog recklessly.” “被旧日无名之神埋葬在沙漠之下,以黑色之石镇压着的远古恶兽—云鲸兽,这是能够肆意操纵云与烟雾的可怕怪物。” In fact, in the Material World related desert seal the hearsay of wicked beast, the quantity possibly can achieve four figures, mostly sounds Jenkin «Stranger's Collection of Stories» is more real. In the mainland desert at least exists from 14th Era, all kinds of hearsay and legends, are lingering on faintly in each time. 实际上,物质世界有关沙漠中封印的恶兽的传闻,数量可能能达到四位数,其中大部分听起来比詹金斯的《异乡人故事集》还要真实。大陆中部的沙漠至少自14纪就存在,各种各样的传闻和传说,在各个时代都不绝于耳。 At present Church is unable from several thousand rumors and legends, is clear one type directive property with the obsidian seal correspondence that presents. But when that monster appears finally, people were one recognize this are anything. 教会无法从数千种流言和传说中,明确出一种指向性的与目前出现的黑曜石封印对应。但当那只怪物终于出现,人们还是一眼就认出了这是什么。 The good news is, „Cloud Whale Beast” is not Beast of Calamity, the bad news is, this thing is not the ordinary evil thing. 好消息是,“云鲸兽”并非灾厄之兽,坏消息则是,这东西也并非普通的邪物。 Although the semblance is the appearance of strange cat, but Nature Church indicated about its record at first, this monster should be whale of a life in ancient times era sea. 虽然外表是奇怪的猫的样子,但自然教会最初关于它的记载则表明,这怪物原本应该是一头生活在远古纪元海洋中的鲸鱼。 In remote even could not find the era of literature record, battle of monster that some are unable to describe in sea. That age, the Material World oceanic province occupied over 90% area, the sea race gets the advantage at the same time, in the darkness that under the sea level cannot see, expedites childbirth build huge lifeform that many are unable to describe. 在久远的甚至找不到文献记载的纪元,一些无法描述的怪物在海洋中争斗。那个年代,物质世界的海洋区域占据了9成以上的面积,海洋种族占优势的同时,也在海平面下看不见的黑暗中,催生了许许多多无法描述的体型庞大的生物。 The battle of monsters leaves behind many corpses, the ordinary whale, while time and time again strengthens the strength from the corpse, little becomes must be powerful. 怪物们的争斗留下诸多尸体,普通的鲸鱼,在一次又一次从尸体中汲取力量的同时,一点点的变得强大。 It first grasped the ability that is separated from the water surface, can draw support from the fog flight later. Afterward even the body was separated from the appearance of whale, became the bird, become the bat, become the mouse, become the cat by the bird by the bat by the fish by the mouse. 它首先掌握了脱离水面的本领,随后可以借助云雾飞行。后来连躯体都脱离了鲸鱼的样貌,由鱼变为鸟、由鸟变为蝙蝠、由蝙蝠变为老鼠、由老鼠变为猫。
