Confusion and dizziness again, as if were thrown in the drum to rotate 100, as if oneself has not moved but the world is revolving. After a series of grotesque and gaudy illusions, contacted the solid ground finally again. 再次的混乱与眩晕,仿佛被丢到了滚筒中转动了一百圈,又仿佛自己没动但世界本身在旋转。在一系列光怪陆离的幻觉后,终于再次接触到了坚实的地面。 This already for the fifth consecutive time entered brand-new Strange Realm, the dizziness feeling that Jenkin felt also stronger. But the good news is, environment that the skin sensation arrives , is also not moist is not cold, is not burning hot is not specially dry. 这已经是连续第五次的进入全新的诡境了,詹金斯感受到的眩晕感也更强了。但好消息是,皮肤感知到的周围环境,既不潮湿也不寒冷,既不炎热也不是特别干燥。 Except that after the nose smelled some strange flavors, here temperature and humidity are really impeccable. 除了鼻子嗅到了一些奇怪的味道后,这里的温度和湿度实在是无可挑剔。 „Is this wax flavor? Did I smell wrong?” “这是蜡的味道？还是我嗅错了？” The elf young lady instead adapts to the space to shift very much, can therefore , in addition somewhat dizzy Jenkin supports by the arm to sit. Darkened situation before sizing up, his convention first touches the pocket, then touching sure enough to a brand-new coin. 精灵小姐反而很适应空间转移,因此能够将尚且有些天旋地转的詹金斯搀扶着坐起来。在打量周围昏黑的情况前,他惯例还是先摸口袋,然后果不其然的摸到了一枚全新的硬币。 The brand-new coin is still like the Sin Coin size, because of 【True Phantom】 Related, therefore is the golden gem coin. Directly is 【True Phantom】 The symbol, the reverse side is spreading the wings the appearance of dragon. If Jenkin has not misread, judged from the physical characters of dragon that is silver dragon Anastasia. 全新的硬币依然和罪币的尺寸一样,因为与【真实的幻影】有关,因此是金色的宝石币。正面是【真实的幻影】的徽记,反面则是展翅的龙的模样。如果詹金斯没有看错,从龙的身体特征来判断,那就是银龙安娜塔西娅。 „What is this? Very attractive.” “这是什么？很漂亮。” Miss Sylph also saw this in the darkness. 西露芙小姐也在黑暗中看到了这个。 „I do not know that this is anything, but will be very probably useful.” “我也不知道这是什么,但大概会很有用。” He shakes the head, felt oneself restores was similar, tosses the coin flies then to grasp firmly to take back to the spirit, finally stands up to examine the surrounding environment. 他摇了摇头,感觉自己恢复的差不多了,将硬币抛飞然后一把攥住收回到灵中,才终于站起身查看周围的环境。 At present the environment without doubt is indoor, moreover is the dry and warm indoor. But wax flavor that Jenkin smells also right, because their sides are standing in great numbers the innumerable character wax figure. 目前所处的环境无疑是室内,而且是干燥而温暖的室内。而詹金斯嗅到的蜡的味道也没错,因为他们的身边林立着数不清的人物蜡像。 Wax figure proportion with normal human body proportion 1 : 1, because works exquisitely, each seems like seems like the living person of solidification to be the same. This lifelike, even lets Jenkin and some elf worry next second of wax figures will move, but at least so far this worry is also unnecessary. 蜡像的比例和正常人体比例一比一,而且由于做工精巧,每一个看上去都好像是凝固的活人一样。这份逼真,甚至让詹金斯和精灵都有些担心下一秒蜡像会动起来,但至少目前为止这份担心还算是多余。 Here should be some waxworks, the careful observation, the under feet of these wax figures have the name product label. Because uses the 18th Era general article writing personal name merely, without many other status information, who therefore Jenkin does not recognize this is. 这里应该是某间蜡像馆,仔细观察,那些蜡像的脚下还有着姓名标牌。但因为仅仅用十八纪的通用文撰写人名,没有其他更多身份信息,因此詹金斯根本认不出这都是谁。 The waxworks are very probably big, at least they cannot see boundary all around. Here is very black, the central gigantic four corner/horn square table, the table center is placing the candlestick, two long short candles stand on the candlestick, provides some luminous. 蜡像馆大概很大,至少他们看不到周遭的边界。这里很黑,只有中央有一张硕大的四角方桌,桌子中央摆放着烛台,两长一短的蜡烛立在烛台上,提供些许的光亮。 Besides the candlestick, on the desktop is also suspending other at sixes and sevens things, merely is Jenkin observed, has the manuscript paper, letter paper, different pencils, tape measures, knife wait/etc. 除了烛台以外,桌面上还摆着其他乱七八糟的东西,仅仅是詹金斯观察到的,就有稿纸、信纸、各种不同的铅笔、皮尺、小刀等等。 The four sides of table, is setting up four statues respectively. According to wax figure all around judged that should also be the wax figure, but under candle slightly bright flame, three are the conclusive metal statues without doubt, last is the conditions of half of wax half of metal, he is living, does not need to want also to know that definitely also and Difference Engine has the illegibile relations. 桌子的四侧,则各自立着四尊雕像。按照周遭的蜡像来判断,那应该也是蜡像,但在蜡烛微亮的火光下,其中三尊是确凿无疑的金属雕像,最后一尊则是一半蜡一半金属的状态,他是活着的,不用想也知道肯定也和差分机有着不清不楚的关系。 „Wait...... by table three statues?” “等等......桌旁的三尊雕像？” He remembered oneself when metal black tower first raises, when the adventure intrudes the situation of seeing. At that time in the tower was the white light everywhere, only then the metal shapes of three kings revolved by the table. 他想起了自己在金属黑塔的第一层升起时,冒险闯入时看到的情况。当时塔内是白光遍地,只有三尊国王的金属像围绕在桌子旁。 „What here corresponds is 【Uncrowned king】?” “这里对应的是【无冕之王】？” Three metal pictures that although sees at this time are not Sarssi II, Queen Isabella and Tarkvin the Proud One, but Jenkin still believes the own judgment. After all the first tower raises, big probability huge Strange Realm has not taken shape completely, the nature and present that therefore saw at that time are different. 虽然此时看到的三尊金属像并非萨尔希二世、女王伊莎贝拉和高傲者塔克文,但詹金斯依然相信自己的判断。毕竟第一层塔升起的时候,大概率这个庞大的诡境还没有完全成型,因此当时看到的自然与现在不同。 „In the past had a look.” “过去看看。” Jenkin said to the own companion, the elf wants the sword that carries over from previous Strange Realm to give back to Jenkin. Then the sword is B kinds of extraordinary goods, although does not know the concrete characteristics, but the special goods of weapon class without doubt are extremely strong. 詹金斯对自己的同伴说道,精灵则想将从上个诡境中带出的剑还给詹金斯。那把剑是B类超凡物品,虽然不知道具体的特性,但武器类的特殊物品无疑都是极强的。 „You first take.” “你先拿着。” Jenkin said to her was actually oneself is not willing to increase the baggage again. 詹金斯对她说道,其实是自己不愿意再增加行李了。 Near in the table four statues, that live statue of half of wax half of metal puts on the female sacrificial offering appearance of gown. Remaining three fine metal statue one female and two male, the female is the old age, another two male are the middle age are close to the old age the image, they wear the magnificent and expensive formal clothes, this clothing plays the role can associate to the big aristocrat easily. 桌边的四尊雕像中,一半蜡一半金属的那一尊活雕像是穿着袍子的女性祭祀模样。剩下的三尊纯金属雕像一女两男,其中女性是老年,另外两尊男性则都是中年接近老年的形象,他们都穿着华贵的礼服,这服装扮很容易就能够联想到大贵族。 Saw Jenkin and Miss Sylph approached, that live statue is taking a look at them while started talking: 见詹金斯和西露芙小姐靠近了,那尊活雕像一边打量着他们一边开口说话了: „Unexpectedly is two people arrived here.” “居然是两个人来到我这里。” The female priest of sound and semblance matches actually very much. 声音与外表的女祭司倒是很搭配。 „News that you receive, is only then I?” “你接到的消息,是只有我吗？” Jenkin asked that but the opposite party does not want to respond him obviously: 詹金斯问道,而对方显然不想搭理他: „Rule is very simple.” “规则很简单。” The live statue sound desolate direction desktop, various paper of shop on desktop with the tool, opens out to be the same by a not being able to see hand immediately probably, was provoked near the table. Meanwhile, the desktop central candlestick also takes off baseless, float above desktop, as the matter stands, then comes out the table central 1/3 blank reveal: 活雕像声音冷淡的指向桌面,铺在桌面上的各种纸张和工具,立刻像是被一只看不到的手拨开一样,被拨弄到桌边。同时,桌面中央的烛台也凭空起飞,悬浮在桌面之上,这样一来,便将桌子中央的三分之一空白露出来: „Plays cards, decides the victory and loss. Won, I allow you to leave.” “来打牌吧,一把定输赢。赢了,我就允许你们离开。” „Plays the playing card? Our both do need to fight with you?” “打纸牌？我们两个都要和你打吗？” Because had had similar experience in flame Strange Realm, therefore Jenkin is not surprised will have this matter. 因为曾经在火焰诡境中有过类似的经历,所以詹金斯并不惊讶会有这种事情。 „You two use one set of sign group together, how decides to play a card. We must play, is the Kingdom sign, these three statues separately are representing three different Kingdom, now first chooses, which side you must represent.” “你们两个共同使用一套牌组,决定如何出牌。我们要玩的,是王国牌,这三尊雕像分别代表着三个不同的王国,现在首先选择,你们要代表哪一方。” „We whether to know you said ‚the Kingdom sign’ concrete method?” “我们能否知道你所说‘王国牌’的具体玩法？” „No, which side please first choose you to be going to represent?” “不,请先选择你们将要代表哪一方？” „Good, what this does represent?” “那好吧,这个代表什么？” Jenkin first aims at the female appearance that she near live statue left hand. 詹金斯首先指向女性模样的那尊,她在活雕像左手边。 „Situated in the mainland, most populous Kingdom, the order is stable, is prosperous, the steam technology advancement is swift and violent ; But the grain yield is low, the serious dependence imports, and often has the natural disaster.” “位于大陆中部、人口最多的王国,秩序稳定,经济繁荣,蒸汽技术进步迅猛;但粮食产量低,严重依赖进口,且常发生自然灾害。” „This?” “这个呢？” This time statue that masculine image that asked to the live statue. 这次问正对着活雕像的男性形象的雕像。 „Situated in the mainland north, land area broadest Kingdom, the army is powerful, the minerals are rich ; The natural environment is bad, labor shortage.” “位于大陆北部,国土面积最广的王国,军队强盛,矿产丰富;自然环境恶劣,劳动力不足。” „Finally this?” “最后这个呢？” Finally is near live statue left hand that. 最后是活雕像左手边的那一尊。 „Situated in the mainland south, natural resources richest Kingdom, the humanities and natural landscape is numerous ; The domestic political situation is not steady, for historical reasons, the military in Three Great Kingdoms is weakest.” “位于大陆南部,自然资源最为丰厚的王国,人文和自然景观众多;国内政局不稳,因历史原因,在三大王国中军事最弱。” Introductions of three Kingdom somewhat violent regards the feeling, but thinks carefully, has many unlike Three Great Kingdoms of reality. Perhaps this introduction referred to the reality, but is not and reality is absolutely exactly the same. 三个王国的介绍有些猛烈的既视感,但仔细想想,与现实的三大王国还是有很多不同的。也许这个介绍参照了现实,但绝对不是和现实一模一样。 „Chooses different Kingdom, what has to distinguish? I want to know how this sign must hit.” “选不同的王国,有什么区别吗？我还是想知道这个牌到底要怎么打。” Jenkin also asked that but the opposite party iron core does not answer his issue. Because the elf young lady does not understand the present age completely the politics, therefore was chosen that population huge central Kingdom that by Jenkin finally has Queen. 詹金斯又问,但对方铁了心不回答他的问题。又因为精灵小姐完全不懂当代的政治,所以最后还是由詹金斯选择了那个有着女王的人口庞大的中部王国。 After all, he is also most familiar with this country. 毕竟,他也只是对这个国家最熟悉。 After choosing, not the selected two metals withdraw likely respectively two steps, with wax figure all around stands. But was having two chairs to the table of live statue near. After Jenkin and Miss Sylph sit down, near the live statue left hand Queen metal looked like, stood in Jenkin behind, even also made up the hand on the Jenkin chairback. 选择完毕后,未被选中的两尊金属像分别退后两步,和周遭的蜡像站在一起。而正对着活雕像的桌边则多出了两把椅子。在詹金斯和西露芙小姐坐下后,活雕像左手边的女王金属像动了起来,站在了詹金斯的身后,甚至还将手搭放在了詹金斯的椅背上。 „Actually therefore is what rule?” “所以究竟是什么规则？” The Jenkin split vision is observing the representative Queen metal resembles, is only besides the feeling handicraft exquisite, but had not felt that has the suspicious feeling. 詹金斯的余光观察着代表女王的金属像,只是除了感觉手工艺精巧以外,但没感觉到有可疑的感觉。 „Takes for 10 years as the limiting time, each quarter Kingdom will present the different events.” “以十年为限定时间,每个季度王国会出现不同的事件。” The live statue left hand presents one stack of black bottoms the playing card, the quantity was over 100: 活雕像左手边出现一沓黑色底的纸牌,数量超过了一百张: „Each quarter arrival, my random selection will open a black event sign, but you need to give the method of dealing with. Perhaps is only the food shortage, but may also be calamity arrive.” “每个季度的到来,我会随机选择翻开一张黑色事件牌,而你们需要给出应对的方法。也许只是粮食短缺,但也有可能是灾厄降临。” But in front of Jenkin and elf have not presented the playing card: 但詹金斯和精灵面前没有出现纸牌: „Therefore, I only do need in a moment?” “所以,我只需要说话就可以？” If were this were too good, he excelled at this. 如果是这样就太好了,他就擅长这个。 „No, your life stories will transform as the policy, your right and wrong viewpoints, will affect the survival of Kingdom, you to the cognition of historical and civilization, will become the strength.” “不,你们的人生阅历将会转化为政策,你们的是非观点,将会影响王国的生存,你们对历史和文明的认知,将会成为力量。” In front of sat Jenkin and Miss Sylph presented one stack of white playing card respectively, in front of elf young lady one stack, probably over 100, the quantity does not calculate, although after all she is Evergreen Forest patrolling forest Ke, but the literacy class not does not pass an examination. 坐着的詹金斯和西露芙小姐面前各自出现了一沓白色的纸牌,精灵小姐面前的一沓,大概不超过100张,数量还算可以,毕竟她虽然是常青森林的巡林客,但文化课也并非不及格。 She turns the head to look to Jenkin that stack, then opens mouth slightly, these seem like the black issue sign are more than: 她又转头看向詹金斯面前的那一沓,然后微微张嘴,那些看上去比黑色的问题牌还要多: „Newborn is World Tree in Material World, actually the statesman or the historian?” “新生的世界树在物质世界,其实是政治家或者历史学家？” The elf young lady guessed. 精灵小姐猜测到。 „The issue sign in my hand may have the redundant condition, but the signs in your hand also possibly appear repeatedly, but each sign can only use one time. The issue sign that is played by me can only have one every season, but you can deal with many sign combinations.” “我手中的问题牌有可能出现重复的状况,而你们手中的牌也可能出现重复,但每张牌只能使用一次。每一季由我打出的问题牌只能有一张,但你们可以用多张牌组合应对。” Jenkin and elf take up to be the own playing card, first that Jenkin sees is 【Maintains stably】, He blinks, then reads second, still yes, turning to tenth is 【Grain production law】, Later also has again 【Individual military force】, 【Compulsory education】 And so on card sign. 詹金斯和精灵拿起属于自己的纸牌,詹金斯看到的第一张是【维持稳定】,他眨了眨眼,然后翻看第二张,依然是,翻到第十张才是【粮食增产法】,再之后还有【个人武力】、【义务教育】之类的卡牌。 „Is broad descriptions, doesn't have the concrete policy and approach?” “都是宽泛的形容,没有具体的政策和做法？” In his heart thinks, is sideways to look at the sign in elf hand, sees uppermost two respectively is 【Life Promotion Yu law】 And 【Foundation occult sciences】. 他心中想到,然后侧着身去看精灵手中的牌,看到最上面的两张分别是【促生育法】以及【基础神秘学】。 „Does elf have Life Promotion Yu law?” “精灵还有促生育法？” Jenkin low voice asking to Miss Sylph, looks at to her the sign demonstration in oneself hand while convenient. 詹金斯小声的问向西露芙小姐,顺便将自己手中的牌展示给她看。 „I also that dozens years in the school studying, the birth rate declines in successive years, besides to the Ruler pray blessings us, the royal family also promulgated the law to encourage to give birth. I remember that initially seemed like ....... each family always born a child, rewards to 100 years of limited free hunting-rights.” “我还在学校读书的那几十年,出生率连年走低,除了向主宰祈祷赐福我们以外,王族也颁布了法律鼓励生育。我记得当初好像是.......每个家庭每多出生一个孩子,奖励给一百年的有限自由狩猎权。” The Miss Sylph words and elf „mysterious graceful” an impression point that Material World people stay behind is also different, instead makes Jenkin as if one see in the forest was living the lamplights of ten thousand families of elves. 西露芙小姐的话与精灵给物质世界的人们留下的“神秘优雅”的印象一点也不同,反而让詹金斯仿佛一下看到了森林中生活着的精灵们的万家灯火。
