Nolan the clock tower since 1865 one year of summer solstice the spring of 1866, has participated in many big events. On for example in the bloodsucking species event, bloodsucking species launches Enchanted Lock for the first time, by clock tower as the central location of ceremony. Then comes, in „Duke Antac attacks Nolan” in event, the clock tower also as the high spot of town center, produced the intense gun battle in the nearby. Even when with the holder of skeleton sword fights, but also rumbles to collapse the wall of clock tower, but that wall was repaired quickly, but this time time point, cannot see the patching trace. 诺兰的这座钟塔在1865年夏至1866年春的一年以来,参与过许许多多的大事件。就比如在吸血种事件中,吸血种们第一次展开迷锁,就是以钟塔作为仪式的中心位置。而后来在“安塔克公爵进攻诺兰”事件中,钟塔也作为市中心的高点,在附近产生了激烈的枪战。甚至在与骷髅剑的持有者战斗时,还轰塌了钟塔的一面墙,但那面墙很快被修复了,而此时的时间点,是看不到修补痕迹的。 Environment of Jenkin to clock tower is not strange, not only when the meeting of Mr. Hood here, a while ago in dealing with that soon with Nolan overlapped „when Judgement Day Nolan”, that old person also that meets in the clock tower peak and Jenkin. 詹金斯对钟塔内部的环境一点也不陌生,不仅是在兜帽先生的聚会时来过这里,前段时间在应对那个即将与诺兰重叠的“末日诺兰”时,那名老人也是在钟塔顶端与詹金斯见的面。 Although Tower Guardian does not fulfill responsibility to the watching service very much, good that but at least the health cleans. Process that climbs from a clock tower strike, the naked eye carefully does not look cannot see any dust. If whisks off on the wall and stair rails with the hand, dust that the finger contacts also in acceptable range. 守塔人虽然对看守工作不是很尽责,但至少卫生打扫的不错。从钟塔一层向上攀登的过程中,肉眼不仔细看是看不到任何灰尘的。如果用手在墙壁和楼梯扶手上拂拭一下,手指接触到的尘埃也在可以接受的范围内。 Tower Guardian not on one not on two not on three, after being on the topmost level of tower, must through the staircase with a handrail be upward, can in the clock tower giant behind of dial plate as well as mechanism, sees Tower Guardian. Here was full of the fuel oils flavor, but at least explained that the line service does well. 守塔人不在一层不在二层也不在三层,登上塔的最高层后,要通过扶梯再向上,才能在钟塔巨大表盘以及机械结构的后面,看到守塔人。这里充满了油料的味道,但至少说明日常维护工作做得很不错。 The Tower Guardian age is close to the 50-year-old appearance in 40 years old probably, Jenkin forgot that his name, only remembers that this is the man of never marriage. 守塔人的年龄大概在四十岁接近50岁的样子,詹金斯忘记他的名字了,只记得这是个从未结婚的男人。 When Jenkin hugs the cat to follow, in gear person behind sees him, he is standing in the dial plate mechanism rear platform, holds the window to look outward. The window is very small, is not the construction of ordinary window. 当詹金斯抱着猫跟在齿轮人的身后见到他的时候,他正站在表盘机械结构后方的平台上,扶着窗户向外望。窗口很小,不是普通窗户的形制。 Because often must maintain, therefore this space has very heavy engine oil and lubricating oil flavor. But because window not related, therefore cool summer end night breeze, makes people satisfied really very much. 因为时常要保养,因此这一层空间有着非常重的机油和润滑油的味道。但又因为窗户没有关,因此凉爽的夏末的晚风,也着实很让人惬意。 This should be very ordinary summer end in the evening, but real one year ago in present Strange Realm, it will be doomed is not ordinary. 这本应是个非常平常的夏末晚间,但不论是真实的一年前还是现在的诡境中,它都注定不会平凡了。 „What is final goal?” “最后的目标是什么？” Sized up to pile up in this metal parts and various types of fuel oils, as well as a screwdriver and spanner of positive/direct wall and so on after the tool, Jenkin asked. 打量了一下堆积在这一层的金属零件、各种油料,以及一正面墙的螺丝刀、扳手之类的工具后,詹金斯问道。 „The heart of gentle living simply.” “平和淡泊之心。” „Lives simply gentle?” “平和淡泊？” Jenkin turned the head to look at gear person one eyes, this does not have any light, moon just comes out now, is unable to illuminate here through that small window. Relies on the dark vision, Jenkin can see clearly the face of gear person, the latter is still that appearance: 詹金斯转头看了齿轮人一眼,这一层没有任何灯光,现在月亮才刚刚出来,也无法通过那个小窗口照亮这里。凭借着黑暗视觉,詹金斯能够看清楚齿轮人的脸,后者依然是那副样子: „Didn't this time criticize the human society?” “这次不批判人类社会了？” He asked that the latter had not replied. 他问道,后者没有回答。 Therefore Jenkin will be holding Chocolate shifts to the shoulder on, then before arriving at that window, saw that Tower Guardian was looking out, on window on hand is also putting one bottle of dirty liquor and a wine glass. 于是詹金斯将抱着的巧克力转移到肩膀上,然后来到那扇小窗前,看到守塔人正在向外看,手边的窗台上还放着一瓶脏兮兮的酒和一只酒杯。 This position is quite high, today's weather especially good. Even weather dark, Jenkin can still through looking out into the distance, saw black smoke that the distant place Vyse sensitive present river bank freighter chimney spouts. Rows of close houses, go into hiding in the darkness, the street seems like the labyrinth the same as hold millions of Nolan City people with the alley. 这个位置相当高,今天的天气又格外的好。即使天色已经暗了下来,詹金斯依然能够通过远眺,看到远处威斯特敏斯河上货轮烟囱喷出的黑烟。一排排鳞次栉比的房屋,在黑暗中隐匿,街道和小巷像是迷宫一样容纳着千千万万的诺兰市民。 „What is looking at?” “在看什么？” Jenkin asked that looked at the label on beverage bottle, that was one bottle of 40 degrees brandies. The ratafia ferments, is the stamina strong wines, people will usually mix the ice piece or the fruit juice drink. But Tower Guardian has not done this, although he does not seem to drink many, but Jenkin thinks that tonight Tower Guardian is not possibly able to fulfill duty to fulfill responsibility guarded. 詹金斯问道,瞧了一眼酒瓶上的标签,那是一瓶40度的白兰地。果酒酿制,属于后劲强劲的酒类,人们通常会混上冰块或者果汁饮用。但守塔人没有这样做,虽然他好像没喝多少,但詹金斯认为守塔人今晚可能又无法尽职尽责的看守了。 „It‘s nothing specific goal, but has a look casually.” “没什么特定的目标,只是随便看看。” Tower Guardian optional replied, the Nolan voice, he has not left this city probably for a lifetime. 守塔人随意的回答道,诺兰口音,他大概一辈子都没有离开过这座城市。 Jenkin also looks with his line of sight outward, cannot see any interesting goal. The Nolan clock tower is high, in this altitude looked that anything seems like looking at the ant, therefore also can only look at the scenery. 詹金斯也随着他的视线向外看,看不到什么有趣的目标。诺兰钟塔非常高,在这个高度看什么都像是在看蚂蚁,因此也只能是在看风景了。 „Do you this look often outward?” “你经常这样向外看吗？” Jenkin also asked. 詹金斯又问道。 „Yes, this was also one of the work few pleasure.” “是的,这也算是这份工作为数不多的乐趣之一了。” Somewhat old Tower Guardian puts out a hand to aim at out of the window: 有些年迈的守塔人伸手指向窗外: „Watches the sunset, then each family's light shines, after finishing a day of work, best form of leisure.” “看着日落,然后一家家的灯光亮起,是结束了一天的工作后,最好的休闲方式。” Sounds like the quite satisfied life, what but since demanded was „the heart of gentle living simply”, Jenkin suspected actually very much the opposite party is thinking anything. 听起来是相当惬意的生活,但既然索要的是“平和淡泊之心”,詹金斯很怀疑对方究竟在想什么。 „Will you do that every day?” “你每天都会这么做吗？” „No, every week only has 2-3 times. After all, delicious thing, if ate, will feel uncomfortable. Sad time watches the sunset, looks at the horizon the red cloud, holds the window to listen respectfully to noise of city, this was really good.” “不,每周只有2-3次吧。毕竟,再好吃的东西如果吃多了,也会感到不舒服的。心情不好的时候看一看日落,看一看天边的火烧云,扶着窗台聆听城市的喧闹,这真是太好了。” Jenkin is also attracted by the picture that he described, imagined oneself to hold Chocolate, stood catches a chill to look at the scene of setting sun here. At that time the setting sun afterglow, will certainly dye the golden yellow the hair of small cat, the fluffy cat wool will be attractive. 詹金斯也被他描绘的画面吸引住了,想象着自己抱着巧克力,站在这里吹着风看着落日的景象。那时夕阳的余辉,一定会把小小的猫的毛发染成金黄色,蓬松的猫毛将会非常漂亮。 Tower Guardian wears very ordinary clothes, the lower part of the body is the black pants, the upper body is the long-sleeved blouse of nothing pattern decoration. He as to take up the wine glass to drink one again, but the palm moved, has not gone to touch the wine glass and beverage bottle. 守塔人穿着很普通的衣服,下身是黑色的裤子,上身是没有任何花纹装饰的长袖衬衣。他似乎想要拿起酒杯再喝一口,但手掌动了一下,还是没有去摸酒杯和酒瓶。 „This sounds is really good. Then, you here, watchman as clock tower, how long time?” “这听起来真是不错。那么,你在这里,作为钟塔的看守人,有多长时间了？” Takes the breach is very always useful from the life of goal. 从目标的生活作为突破口总是很有用。 „I from did this work at age 16.” “我从16岁那年做这份工作。” Tower Guardian looks down through the window to the clock tower, two people who the people on plaza are not certainly able to see the window. The high place looks at the low spot is the ant, the low spot looked at the high place possibly is also only two fuzzy sunspots. 守塔人通过窗口低着头看向钟塔下方,广场上的人们当然无法看到窗口的两人。高处看低处是蚂蚁,低处看高处可能也就只是两个模糊的黑点了。 „16 years old?” “16岁？” When Jenkin imagined a youngster to step into this clock tower scene for the first time. 詹金斯想象了一下少年第一次踏入这座钟塔时的场景。 „Yes, the father said that year must make me look for some proper matters to do. Although I am literate, understands keeps a promise, but does not want to be others' apprentice, does not want to work, only wants the calm and steady life. The good friends of youth somewhat leave home to seek one's fortune, want to rush to while young going outside ; Some is the apprentice, wants to learn the craftsmanship several years later on the oneself coming out individual farming. I do not want is so tired, on just Tower Guardian just died, the Nolan City politics hall is incurring the rookie, I came.” “是的,那年父亲说要让我找些正经事去做。我虽然识字,也懂一些算数,但不想去做别人的学徒,也不想去做工,只想要安稳的生活。青年时代的好友们有些外出谋生,想要趁着年轻去外面闯一闯;有些去做学徒,想过几年学到了手艺就自己出来单干。我不想那么累,刚好上一任守塔人刚死,诺兰市政厅在招新人,我就来了。” Young Tower Guardian can obtain this work, is not the luck is good, because this work gains are not many, and needs the physical labor. The young people are not willing to do, the middle-aged person looks down upon, the senior citizen could not do, therefore 16-year-old youngster then one position that obtained Tower Guardian. 年轻的守塔人能够获得这个工作,并非是运气好,而是因为这份工作赚的不多,并且需要体力劳动。年轻人不愿干,中年人看不起,老年人干不了,所以16岁的少年便一下获得了守塔人的职位。 This does is more than 30 years, for 30 years, he has looked at Nolan in this window, but even no one knows that some people will look into the distance in the clock tower. 这一干就是三十多年,三十年来,他一直在这个窗口看着诺兰,但甚至没有一个人知道会有人在钟塔上眺望。 If only listens to narration of Tower Guardian, then he without doubt is one „recluse” common character. Moreover the town center in place or Nolan such big city that live in seclusion, appears it „light gentle” mentality. But in light of the requirements of duty, matter so will not be definitely simple. 如果只听守塔人的讲述,那么他无疑是一个“隐士”一般的人物。而且隐居的地点还是诺兰这样大城市的市中心,更加显现出其“淡薄平和”的心态。但结合任务的要求,事情肯定不会这么简单的。 „, Do you like this work?” “那么,你喜欢这份工作吗？” „Likes, why doesn't like? I depend on this work, lived for 30 years.” “喜欢,为什么不喜欢？我靠着这份工作,活了30年。” Tower Guardian replied in a soft voice, he remembered, remembered oneself in the years in this clock tower passing through: 守塔人轻声回答道,他想起了过去,想起了自己在这座钟塔上度过的岁月: „In the past I just arrived here time, the mechanized level of clock tower is not so high, I must manual strike a gong to report time in the integral point. At that time inside the tower did not say the town gas pipe and steam conduit, even the running water pipeline did not have. After I get up every morning the first matter, raises outside in the lane of bucket to street to fetch water......” “当年我刚来到这里的时候,钟塔的机械化水平还没有这么高,我必须在整点手动敲钟报时。当时塔里不说煤气管道和蒸汽管道,甚至连自来水管道都没有。我每天早晨起来后的第一件事,就是提着水桶到一条街以外的巷子里打水......” „In an instant 30 years, you had stood here, looks that front is developing.” “转眼已经三十年了,你就站在这里,看着面前的一起在发展。” Jenkin is leading the talk direction. 詹金斯引领着谈话的方向。 „Yes, 30 years, I look at all these. The city and city resident, all are changing, but I look at these changes......” “是的,三十年,我看着这一切。城市、市民,所有的一切都在变,而我就看着这些变化......” „Is felt the audience who oneself was isolated outside, probably the living theater same looks, but is actually not able to participate.” “是不是感觉自己被隔离在外,像是舞台剧的观众一样看着,但却无法参与进去。” Tower Guardian sipped under the mouth, turned the head to look at Jenkin, later selected. He will pack the cup of liquor water to carry to toss down, because then drinks anxiously is choked the straight cough. 守塔人抿了下嘴巴,转头看了一眼詹金斯,随后才点点。他将装满了酒水的杯子端起来一饮而尽,然后又因为喝得太急而被呛得直咳嗽。 Does not know that is because was choked on the liquor, on his face has one not normal sauce red. 不知道是因为被呛住了还是酒上头了,他的脸上有一种不正常的酱红色。 Since Tower Guardian acknowledged the guess of Jenkin, showed this time him, although also in guarding tower, but in fact has left the idea. 既然守塔人承认了詹金斯的猜测,就说明此时的他虽然还在看守塔,但实际上早就有了离开了的想法。 „When I am young friends, what kind of choice no matter made, but saw this world. When is young plan is whether correct, experienced the own story. But I, look at this tower from over ten years old here, continuously here......, if some people are willing to write memoirs for me, actually only needs one page on- he has been guarding the Nolan clock tower.” “我年轻时的朋友们,不管做出了怎样的选择,但都算是看到了这个世界。不管年轻时的打算是否正确,都经历了自己的故事。而我,从十多岁在这里看着这座塔,一直在这里......如果有人愿意为我写一本回忆录,其实只需要一页就可以-他一直在看守诺兰的钟塔。” His is somewhat excited, Jenkin fully believes that this was because of a moment ago the reason of that glass of liquor. 他的情绪有些激动起来,詹金斯充分相信这是因为刚才那杯酒的原因。 „You in regretting oneself is young the choice?” “你是在后悔自己年轻时的选择吗？” Jenkin also asked, he has hugged the cat in the bosom, touches the hair of kitty back gently. Chocolate comfortable narrowed the eye, but in fact after imagining oneself a while saved Jenkin, Jenkin surprised expression. 詹金斯又问,他已经将猫抱在了怀里,轻轻抚摸猫咪后背的毛发。巧克力舒服的眯起了眼睛,但实际上在想象自己一会儿拯救了詹金斯后,詹金斯惊讶的表情。 „Regret?” “后悔？” Marches into the old age Tower Guardian hollow laugh: 步入老年的守塔人干笑一声: „ Innumerable I am thinking day and night, if I were also similar to friends such initially, when he was young went out to rush, or study a craftsmanship, how my life can turn. Now I am free, but I actually felt that oneself was imprisoned by this tower, takes a look outside world, short 30 years of all are changing, I stands for the first time , when this window looks to Nolan, cannot think will have today such scenery. “无数个日夜我都在想,如果当初我也如同朋友们那样,在年轻时出外闯一闯,或者学一门手艺,我的生活会变成怎样。现在我是自由的,但我却感觉到自己被这座塔囚禁了,瞧瞧外面的世界,短短三十年一切都在变化,我第一次站在这个窗口望向诺兰的时候,怎么也想不到会有今天这样的景色。 Looks at the column of smoke of distant place, looks on the wall is spreading steam conduit, takes a look at all these. All these before me, but has nothing to do with me. I am guarding the clock tower, as if the own time was also actually stopped. My life here, completely static, completely useless. How didn't I possibly regret? ” 瞧远处的烟柱,瞧墙壁上蔓延着的蒸汽管道,瞧瞧这一切。这一切都在我面前,但偏偏与我无关。我看守着钟塔,却仿佛自己的时间也被停止了。我的一生都在这里,完全的静止,完全的无用。我怎么可能不后悔？”
