Newest website: In the morning, tower keeper Green wakes up in the sound that a mechanism resounds low and deep, the sunlight is penetrating one side of the high tower lounge crystal glass window to sprinkle the room, on the window frame the cosmetic iron skill lace throws down the light and shade interactions traces on the floor, in the distant sunny sky vast not clouds, but the alloy skeleton that top level of a Luan hub mechanical day coil clockwise over angle, that raises high ruggedly has moved from out of the window slowly, cut several ingenious geometric patterns the sky. 最新网址:清晨,守塔人葛林在一阵机械装置低沉鸣响的声音中醒来,阳光正透过高塔休息室一侧的水晶玻璃窗洒进房间,窗框上装饰性的铁艺花边在地板上投下了一道道明暗相间的纹路,远方晴朗的天空中辽阔无云,而卢安枢纽顶层的机械天线盘正转过一个角度,那嶙峋高扬的合金骨架从窗外缓缓移过,将天空切割出了几个巧妙的几何图案。 „Also good, was a fine weather...... the weather forecast of mages is more and more accurate.” “还不错,是个好天气……法师们的气象预报是越来越准了。” tower keeper is narrowing eye looks at outside weather, in a soft voice after the whisper, deeply breathes a sigh of relief, later he puts on a loose cool thin shirt, handled a personal image then to turn around to leave room probably- the mechanical turntable and aggregate unit of upper region made the relieved low and deep sound together, he under the sound companion who listened to the custom has passed through the short corridor and small section steps in this, arrived around equipment room, but golden hair young people of wear brown shirt sat before the magic circuit terminal, is paying attention to the hologram projection attentively the digit of these beat, before side printing apparatus, piled up one on top of another. Already dinking die orderly latest publication. 守塔人眯着眼睛看着外面的天色,轻声嘀咕之后才深深舒了口气,随后他套上一件宽松凉快的薄衬衫,大概打理了一下个人形象便转身离开了房间-上层区域的机械转盘和联动机构共同发出令人安心的低沉声音,他在这个已经听习惯的声音陪伴下穿过短短的走廊和一小段阶梯,来到了附近的设备房间,而一个穿着棕色衬衣的金发年轻人正坐在魔网终端前,全神贯注地关注着全息投影上那些跳动的数字,旁边的打印装置前则堆叠着已经裁切整齐的最新报刊。 The young people named Ron, are Green's colleagues, this high tower another tower keeper, he was just moved also shortly, but steadfast diligent and likable character already to this tower in „senior staff” made the profound and good impression. 年轻人名叫罗恩,是葛林的同事,这座高塔的另外一位守塔人,他刚被调来还没多长时间,但踏实勤恳又讨人喜欢的性格已经给这座塔里的“老员工”们留下了深刻且良好的印象。 „, Green mister,” the golden hair young fellow before magic circuit terminal hears the sound that the entrance transmitted, who after seeing clearly the person is, immediately shows the smile, „changing shifts time has not arrived, have you gotten out of bed?” “啊,葛林先生,”魔网终端前的金发小伙子听到了门口传来的动静,看清来人是谁之后顿时露出笑容,“换班时间还没到呢,你这么早就起床了？” „Regular work and rest is good to the body- particularly to my the young middle-aged person,” Green had no longer hit greeting to the young people with a smile, „hasn't Wicksen come back?” “规律的作息对身体有好处-尤其是对我这样已经不再年轻的中年人,”葛林笑着对年轻人打了打招呼,“维克森还没回来呢？” „He came back a moment ago, but quick then had two technology to go out- that side Cosson town/subdues 2nd Level hub reading some were not normal, a nearby factory report said that they then could not receive from Luan starting from yesterday pass on the past signal, Wicksen thinks that may be that thunderstorms caused to break down the 2nd Level hub yesterday, he must have a look at the situation personally. Right, he drove away that gray magical car(riage).” “他刚才回来一趟,但很快便带着两个技术员又出门了-科森镇那边的二级枢纽读数有些不正常,附近的一座工厂报告说他们从昨天开始便收不到从卢安传过去的信号了,维克森认为有可能是昨天那场雷雨搞坏了二级枢纽,他要亲自去看看情况。对了,他开走了那辆灰色的魔导车。” „Evidently yesterday the might of that thunderstorms compared with big, Green who we imagined” spoke thoughtlessly, arrived by the magic circuit terminal, and discovered these are read through, the dinking die orderly publication that the networking printer printed, moreover in a page layout was also used the red pen to make some symbols, „what amusing thing in newspaper had, Ron?” “看样子昨天那场雷雨的威力比我们想象的大啊,”葛林随口说着,来到了魔网终端旁边,并一眼发现了那些通过联网打印机打印出来的、裁切整齐的报刊已经被人翻看过,而且其中一个版面上还被人用红色的笔做了些记号,“报纸上有什么有趣的东西么,罗恩？” „, I just about saying that” the young people named Ron reveals to mix with the happy and mysterious smile immediately comes, „do you still remember of Wicksen continuously very attention ‚monitor project’? Is regional total hubs has a that project of listening station, recently probably suddenly had the extraordinary progress, said that received the mysterious signal, scholars also used very big length to discuss this matter! Not only here an issue of newspaper......” “啊,我刚要说呢,”名叫罗恩的年轻人顿时露出夹杂着愉快和神秘的笑容来,“你还记得维克森一直挺关注的那个‘监听项目’么？就是各地总枢纽都有一个监听站的那个项目,最近好像突然有了了不得的进展,说是收到了神秘的信号,学者们还用了很大的篇幅在讨论这件事呐！这边不光一期报纸……” Green has not actually paid attention to that monitor project, 葛林其实并没怎么关注那个监听项目, But he had been caused enough interest by the Ron exciting intonation at this moment, did not wait for the young people saying that he has taken up that pack of also indistinct some printing ink aura printing paper. 但他此刻已经被罗恩兴奋的语调引起了足够的兴趣,不等年轻人说完,他已经拿起了那一叠还隐约有些油墨气息的打印纸来。 First heaves in sight, is the party extremely striking overstriking title: «In the group stars of length and breadth, can exist with us same can conduct the lifeform of sane ponder?» 最先映入眼帘的,便是一行极为醒目的加粗标题:《在广袤的群星之间,是否有可能存在和我们一样能够进行理智思考的生物？》 Is this...... the what kind issue? 这是个……什么样的问题？ The tower keeper attention was then captured by this marvelous title instantaneously, when he from young copyist who holds the post of the aristocrat, to stepping into the middle age becomes tower keeper of magic circuit hub, half a lifetime experiences has experienced the matter not too to be few, but he has never heard such matter, never hears some people to propose that such issue...... among the group stars...... why some people will so regard the matter that the crowd inter-satellite has? Even also discussed this matter formally? 守塔人的目光瞬间便被这个奇妙的标题所吸引,他从年轻时担任贵族的抄写员,到踏入中年成为魔网枢纽的守塔人,半辈子见识过经历过的事情也不算太少,但他从未听到过这样的事情,从未听到过有人提出这样的问题……群星之间……为什么会有人如此看待群星间发生的事情？甚至还正儿八经地把这件事探讨了起来？ If among the view of Priest...... the group stars, among the group stars that shouldn't be the position of heaven? 如果按照神官们的说法……群星之间,群星之间那不应该是天国的方位么？ Green subconsciously knits the brows, brings puzzled and looks downward, finally discovered this full page newspaper is almost exploring the issue in this aspect, but in the following page layout, even is more striking, more confusing curious another title: «From Cavern to Plain, from Under foot to Distant place- Imperial family Divines by astrology Master Morgan Hugo mister Has You Understand World „Breadth”» 葛林下意识地皱了皱眉,带着困惑又向下看去,结果发现这整版报纸几乎都在探讨这方面的问题,而在后续版面上,甚至还有更醒目,更令人困惑好奇的又一个标题:《从洞穴到平原,从脚下到远方-皇家占星师摩尔根・雨果先生带您了解世界的“广度”》 The Ron sound conveys from side: „These very amusing-, although they seemingly arid academic discussion article, but accidentally/surprisingly is unexpectedly easy to understand. I never in any issue of newspaper or the magazine have seen similarly with it, in the theory of that starry skies about the top of the head, but I have heard from my teacher there actually, our lands are actually a star, we revolve around Sun, Sun moves around Austria, but in the universe the luminous spot of each twinkle, may be with it similar heavenly body system......” 罗恩的声音从旁边传来:“这些非常有趣-虽然它们看上去好像是枯燥的学术讨论文章,但竟然意外地容易理解。我从未在任何一期报纸或杂志上看到过与之类似的、关于头顶上那片星空的理论,不过我倒是从自己的老师那里听说过,我们脚下这片土地其实是一颗星球,我们围绕着太阳旋转,太阳围绕着‘奥’旋转,而宇宙中每一个闪烁的光点,都有可能是与之类似的天体系统……” Green is listening to Ron in high spirits narration, actually can only be perfunctory several simply- young people pay attention to the thing that and accepts seem like with his middle-aged person somewhat are really different, although he himself also accepts complete passing to know with the eliminating illiteracy curriculum, but sounds regarding these then „far away from life” knowledge, his attention obvious ratio just 20 over Ron, kept up with the topic naturally to appear the incomparable difficulty at this time. 葛林听着罗恩兴高采烈的讲述,却只能简单地敷衍几句-年轻人所关注和接受的东西看起来和他这个中年人果然有些不同,他自己虽然也接受过完整的通识和扫盲课程,但对于这些听上去便“远离生活”的知识,他的关注度显然比不过刚二十出头的罗恩,这时候跟上话题自然显得无比困难。 But at the same time, his vision has also swept this newspaper follow-up some irrelevant reports and advertisements and trivial matters fast, was pressed in following „the Cecil weekly report” entered his line of sight, within anticipates, he saw and front two article similar titles: «Grandmaster Carmel Heavenly body Criterion in Eye- from Knowledge And wisdom of Gondor Age». But in this article following part, he also saw a propaganda, above mentioned to further improve the people's knowledge accomplishment, rich citizens' reading enjoys, the Empire highest government affairs hall has incited to distribute a new periodical, its main contents for the popularizing knowledge of astrology domain...... 而与此同时,他的目光也快速扫过了这份报纸后续的一些无关报道和广告、琐事,一份被压在下面的“塞西尔周报”进入了他的视线,意料之内的,他又看到了和前面两篇文章类似的标题:《卡迈尔大师眼中的天体尺度-源自刚铎年代的知识和智慧》。而在这篇文章后续的部分,他还看到了一份宣传,上面提到为了进一步提高全民知识素养,丰富公民们的阅读享受,帝国最高政务厅已授意发行一个新的期刊,其主要内容为星相学领域的知识普及…… looks at these clear sharp letters, in Green heart move suddenly, immediately spreads out to place on the table several newspapers respectively, is glancing through the title that their main page layouts and overstriking emphasized fast, therefore big pile of seemingly various, essences have the extremely high uniform technicality, the interest popularization or the discussion article then entered his view. 看着那些清晰锐利的字母,葛林心中突然一动,立刻将几份报纸分别摊开放在桌上,飞快地翻阅着它们主要的版面和加粗强调的标题,于是一大堆看上去各不相同,实质内容却有着极高一致性的学术性、趣味普及性或讨论性的文章便进入了他的眼帘。 tower keeper looks at these newspapers, smiled, the experience had made judgment- what the highest government affairs hall also had evidently „big plan”, these newspapers should be only the first upholstery, soon, in the magic circuit broadcast will have the related new program to be pushed probably? 守塔人看着这些报纸,笑了一下,经验已经做出判断-看样子最高政务厅又有了什么“大计划”,这些报纸应该只是第一步的铺垫,不久之后,魔网广播里大概也会有相关的新节目被推出来吧？ The average people probably are very difficult feels this type from the limited medium of daily contact „wind direction” the appearance, but tower keeper that assumes the regional information hub can actually feel very much keenly ahead of time the releases of certain signals, naturally, such premise must have enough work experience, Green is very experienced tower keeper, but young Ron...... has not thought so many obviously. 普通人大概很难从日常接触的有限媒介中感觉到这种“风向”的出现,但一个坐镇地区信息枢纽的守塔人却可以很敏锐地提前感觉到某些信号的释放,当然,这样的前提是要有足够的工作经验,葛林自己就是一个很有经验的守塔人,而年轻的罗恩……显然并没想这么多。 „Green mister,” Ron also noticed the senior sudden action, he has a scare slightly, cannot bear ask, „what happened?” “葛林先生,”罗恩也注意到了前辈突然的举动,他稍微吓了一跳,忍不住问道,“发生什么事了么？” „It‘s nothing, in any case is not the misdemeanor, here did for two years you to understand,” Green smiled, spoke thoughtlessly while placed that page to be made in the newspaper of symbol the vision, at this time he noticed this edition of content not academic or the article in popularizing knowledge, but was a special news, as well as had „folk to recruit” the propaganda manuscript of nature. “没什么,反正不是坏事,在这里多干两年你就懂了,”葛林笑了起来,一边随口说着一边把目光又放在了那一页被做上记号的报纸上,这时候他才注意到这一版的内容并非学术或知识普及方面的文章,而是一份特殊的新闻,以及一份带有“民间招募”性质的宣传稿。 «Thorin Listening station Receives Mysterious Signal From unchecked sources», «to National Collection Analysis Plan to Following symbol». 《索林监听站接收到来源不明的神秘信号》、《面向全国征集对以下符号的解析方案》。 He saw these along with the article together enclosed design, these look do not seem like the general letter completely, not like symbol of South glyph, these continual circular arcs as well as is seemingly mystical and unreadable with the circular arc connected short line segments, but in symbol side, Ron has outlined with the pen seemed like the letter string of no mentality. 他看到了那些随文章一同附上的图案,那些看上去完全不像是通用字母,也不像南方象形文字的符号,那些连续的圆弧以及和圆弧相连的短线段看上去神秘而又难以理解,而在符号的旁边,罗恩已经用笔勾画了许多看上去毫无思路的字母串。 „Do not tell me you are the plan decodes these symbol- symbol that these expert scholars cannot even find way out.” Green could not bear look up young Ron one. “别告诉我你这是打算破解这些符号-这些连专家学者们都一筹莫展的符号。”葛林忍不住抬头看了年轻的罗恩一眼。 „Why no?” The golden hair young people say immediately, „you did not think this is one has the challenging and sense of pride, as if at participation history common matter? Moreover there is a high quota posts a reward-, so long as can decode their meanings, monetary reward even enough we bought an entire manor in Luan city!” “为什么不呢？”金发年轻人立刻说道,“你不觉得这是一件非常有挑战性和自豪感,仿佛在参与历史一般的事情么？而且还有高额的悬赏-只要能把它们的含义破解出来,赏金甚至足够我们在卢安城买下一整座庄园了！” Green not by the young people this insufficiently mature joyful and warm infection, he a little worried looks at these reports and completely like symbol of this world any known writing, where his heart do not exude, was quick to be pressed, then changed into an inquiry: „You studied so many, what rule saw?” 葛林并没有被年轻人这不够成熟的喜悦和热情感染,他只是有点担心地看着那些报道和全然不像这个世界任何一种已知文字的符号,不安在他心头泛起,却又很快被压了下去,转而化为一声询问:“那你研究了这么多,看出什么规律了么？” „Completely without looking- these symbol seem like some encryption doodle to be the same simply, does not conduct the simple letter substitution or the structural realignment can decode,” Ron somewhat shakes the head regrettably, „in fact I have prepared to while away the time...... dynasty sudden wealth perhaps not to have that easy achieve this regards after-working hours some, but decodes these symbol some process pleasure. Moreover I believe that overwhelming majority will have to the person who these symbol have the interest with my similar mentality finally, after all like such that you say, these things make Imperial Capital expert scholars unable to find way out......” “完全没看出来-这些符号简直像是某种加密涂鸦一般,远非进行简单的字母代换或结构重组就能破解出来,”罗恩有些遗憾地摇了摇头,“事实上我已经准备把这当成工作之余的某种消遣……一朝暴富或许没那么容易实现,但破解这些符号的过程本身还是有些乐趣的。而且我相信绝大部分对这些符号产生兴趣的人最终也会有和我差不多的心态,毕竟就像你说的那样,这些东西让帝都的专家学者们都一筹莫展……” Green shrugs, has not actually continued this topic again, he looked around one mechanical clock hanging on the wall, spoke thoughtlessly said to Ron: „Time of changing shifts.” 葛林耸了耸肩,却没有再继续这个话题,他看了一眼附近墙上挂着的机械钟,随口对罗恩说道:“换班的时间到了。” ...... …… The rare clear sky arrives at Aldernan, dispersed the haze that this „rain and mist” sky often occupied close to the high noon sunlight, under the bright sunlight, these close black roofs and sharp tower exuded Yi Yi brilliance, stone tablet and wall surface that in certain sewer mean alleys has putrefied as if were also being removed to be depressed little, became vitality Bo to come. 难得的晴空降临奥尔德南,临近正午的阳光驱散了这座“阴雨与雾气之都”上空时常盘踞的阴霾,在灿烂的日光下,那些鳞次栉比的黑色屋顶和尖塔泛起奕奕光彩,某些阴沟陋巷里已经发了霉的石板和墙面也仿佛在被一点点去除掉暮气,变得生机勃来。 However compared with last year, the streets and alleys in Aldernan aristocrat area at this moment obviously were much lonely. 然而和去年比起来,奥尔德南贵族区的街巷此刻却明显冷清了不少。 In those days in feasted the unceasing hall to shut tightly the windows and doors day and night, daily on before carriages and horses unceasing broad road/s was only also left over several going on a trip in a hurry vehicles rolled by that closed door fast, around some houses gardens obviously long time have been negligent to handle, warmed up the weed that multiplied gradually to occupy because of the weather once by the intensive care flower-bed plant nursery, is extruding the existing space of these precious delicate flowers , some houses hung up the white and black heavy/thick window curtains and cloth curtain, the been dried up mortuary tribute chrysanthemum bouquet of flowers was hanging under the entrance iron skill lantern light, swung miserably with the wind. 往日里昼夜宴饮不断的大厅紧闭了门窗,日日车马不断的宽阔道路上也只剩下了几辆行色匆匆的车子快速驶过那一扇扇紧闭的门前,一些房屋前后的花园显然已经多日疏于打理,因天气转暖而滋生的杂草正在逐渐占据曾经被精心照料的花坛苗圃,挤压着那些名贵娇弱花朵的生存空间,又有一些房屋挂上了白色和黑色的厚重窗帘、布幔,已经干枯的告死菊花束悬挂在门口的铁艺挂灯下面,凄凉地随风摇摆。 great majority in these mansion have not actually left uncultivated thoroughly, at this time still had the fragmentary low and deep sound to transmit from inside, these still lived in this's sound as if are deliberately pulling down themselves, to reduce itself existence feeling as far as possible in this world, like feared the frightened wild animal of this world to curl up one group in the magnificent lair, for fear that aroused certain „fatal interest” because of the high-sounding talk. 这些宅邸中的大多数其实并没有彻底荒废,此时仍有零星低沉的声音从里面传来,那些仍然居住于此的声音仿佛是在刻意压低自己,以尽可能减轻自己在这个世界上的存在感,如同恐惧着这个世界的受惊野兽般在自己华丽的巢穴中蜷成了一团,生怕因高调而引起某些“致命的关注”。 In minority these lost in mansion of sound thoroughly, past the magnificent family has lost their final effective successor, the servant is disbanded, the property was taken back the imperial family, the house becomes „treats estimates asset that” is unable to process temporarily, the owners in these houses when leaving this world usually have the entirely different two destinies: Some lost to venerate, in the settlement the head, some actually brilliance glory, beed laid to rest in bestowing of imperial family. 而在少数那些彻底失去了声息的宅邸内,昔日辉煌的家族已经失去了他们最后的有效继承人,仆役被遣散,财产被收归皇室,房屋成为了暂时无法处理的“待估资产”,这些房屋的主人在离开这个世界时通常有着截然不同的两种命运:有的失去了一切尊崇,在清算中掉了脑袋,有的却光辉荣耀,在皇室的追封中入土为安。 But regardless of their destinies, the final outcome actually is not how different. 但不论他们的命运如何,最终结果倒是没什么两样。 „Aristocrat years survived in name only, passed through so many years crosscut saws to refuse to compromise, now finally arrive at withdrew thoroughly...... certain titles also, but seemed like will never have the magnificent opportunity again,” Viscount Hemil drew back one step before the bow window, simultaneously took back the observation to the line of sight of outside street, he that returned to oneself ordinary day most to cherish high back seat by, has not actually taken a seat suddenly, but had the eyeful feelings to send out a deep sigh, „oh...... I have not really imagined, will then see this day appearance in the lifetime unexpectedly, has not imagined it to be able by this. Plants the way to arrive......” “贵族时代名存实亡了,经过了这么多年的拉锯僵持,如今终于到了彻底退出的时候……某些头衔还在,但看上去是永远不会再有辉煌的机会了,”赫米尔子爵从凸肚窗前退开一步,同时收回了望向外面街道的视线,他回到自己平日里最钟爱的那把高背座椅旁,却一时间没有落座,只是带着满眼的感慨发出一声长叹,“唉……我还真不曾想象过,自己竟会在有生之年便看到这一天的出现,更不曾想象过它会以这种方式到来……” He raised the head, looked at one toward the opposite of that strip width skillful penmanship straight main road, only saw that two go on a trip in a hurry, passes through from the street like the frightened wild animal servant simply fast- walks like running. 他抬起头,又朝着那条宽阔笔直大道的对面看了一眼,只看到两个行色匆匆,简直如同受惊野兽般的仆役飞快地从街道上走过-走得像跑一样。 „How could in has the beforehand day had such lonely scene? Even if were that day of new sovereign 22 bill promulgations, in the obsidian palace that even my father mentioned ignited the fire such lonely that day...... this street not miserable, has not presented such many mortuary tribute chrysanthemum...... these white little flowers, almost directed under aura of ghostdom the sunlight quickly.” “以前的日子里何曾有过这样冷清的光景？哪怕是新皇二十二条法案颁布的那天,甚至于我父亲提到的黑曜石宫中燃起大火的那天……这条街都没这么冷清凄凉过,更不曾出现过如此之多的告死菊……那些白色的小花,几乎快把冥界的气息都引到阳光下面了。” „Considered in the good direction, Viscount Hemil,” an old sound never the distant place transmits, sits black robe old mage looks at this young aristocrat on sofa, on the face shows a smile saying that „ you also stand now here, the Viscount title still on your body, your family crest and private property slightest has not damaged, this each made many people envy sufficiently-, no matter these died is still living at present, they should envy you. “往好的方向考虑,赫米尔子爵,”一个苍老的声音从不远处传来,坐在沙发上的黑袍老法师看着这位年轻贵族,脸上露出一丝微笑说道,“你现在还站在这里,子爵头衔仍然在你的身上,你的家族徽记和私产分毫未损,这每一条都足以让许多人羡慕了-不管是那些死掉的还是目前仍然活着的,他们都该羡慕你。 „You stood a good team, Mr. Viscount.” “你站了个好队,子爵先生。” „, Yes, this truly as you said that Grandmaster Daniel,” Viscount Hemil smiles bitterly is sitting on the chair, has taken the wine glass from side conveniently, not the liquid in the cup pours into the throat gracefully, then said, „at any time supports the imperial family to decide unconditionally, when Church has the problem immediately cuts off with all Priest contacts, supports the Winterfort frontline with every effort, and actively coordinated all examinations of Your Highness Hardylan...... to say honestly, as long as among this one step went astray, at this moment I then may be unable to stand talk with you here, your perhaps also can only respect my one cup in front of my tombstone..” “啊,是啊,这倒确实如您所说,丹尼尔大师,”赫米尔子爵苦笑着坐在椅子上,随手从旁边拿过了酒杯,不那么优雅地将杯中液体灌入喉咙,接着说道,“在任何时候都无条件地支持皇室决定,在教堂出现问题的时候立刻断绝和所有神官的往来,尽最大可能支援冬堡前线,并积极配合哈迪伦殿下的所有审查……坦白说,这中间但凡有一步走错,此刻我便有可能无法站在这里与您交谈,您或许也只能在我的墓碑前敬我一杯了。” „But you walked right,” Daniel is smiling, raises glass hints to present Viscount, „I liked proposing a toast to the living person.” “但你都走对了,”丹尼尔微笑着,举杯向眼前的子爵示意,“我还是更喜欢向活人敬酒一点。”
