Frost Month enters end, the northern part of the continent various country cold winters already. 霜月进入末尾,大陆北部诸国寒冬已至。 The cold north wind howls to blow the city street, in the slits of building brings the sharp whistling tone, the snow on roof to be blown to fall by the wind, from the sky dances in the air a piece of dim curtain curtain, as if another new snowing approaches. 冷冽的北风呼啸吹过城市街道,在建筑物的缝隙之间带起尖锐的哨音,屋顶上的积雪被风吹落,在空中飞舞成一片朦胧的幕帘,仿佛又一场新的降雪来临。 But all these, prevent by the thick the crystal glass and the heating system wall and band outside. 而这一切,都被厚厚的墙壁、夹层的水晶玻璃以及供暖系统阻挡在外。 Gawain sits in the study room, is glancing through pastime reading material about northern continent gods and ghosts record, another hand is grasping dipping the brush into ink, outlined some pictures and inspirations in the mind reappearing on the scratch paper at will, when the wind sound/rumor that outside howled after the filtration of glass, reached the indoor only the other weak remnant sounds, this remnant sound the low and drawn out music sound that heard with Magic Guiding Device of room corner mixes in the same place, instead even more made the person mood quiet. 高文坐在书房内,翻阅着一本关于北大陆神怪记述的消遣读物,另一只手则握着蘸笔,随意在草稿纸上勾勒着脑海中浮现出来的一些画面和灵感,外面呼啸的风声经过玻璃的过滤,传进室内时只余下些许微弱残响,这残响和房间角落的魔导装置传来的低缓乐曲声糅合在一起,反而愈发令人心情沉静下来。 Betty stands at the desk peacefully, two overlaps place on the apron that the maidservant takes, lowers the head one by one place the head, exudes the slight snoring sound. 贝蒂安安静静地站在书桌旁,两手交叠放在侍女服的围裙上,低着头一下一下地点着脑袋,发出轻微的鼾声。 Gawain looked at Betty one that dozes off, cannot bear shakes the head with a smile, focused in outlining conveniently, but he shook the hand of dipping the brush into ink suddenly to feel an unusual touch, and along with „” a light sound, looked down, he saw this has used for a long time dipped the brush into ink the tip-splitting, the ink that divulged is following the crevice to fall on the paper, dispersed stains. 高文看了正在打瞌睡的贝蒂一眼,忍不住笑着摇摇头,重新把注意力放到了随手的勾勒上,但他握着蘸笔的手突然感到一股异样的触感,并伴随着“啪”的一声轻响,低头看去,他看到这支已经用了许久的蘸笔尖端开裂,泄露出的墨水正顺着裂隙落在纸上,散开一片污迹。 Gawain knits the brows, will shatter the creek that dips the brush into ink puts the one side, on the looks at paper outlined the line that winds calmly to flow, the river bank had the antique brick house, the small stone bridge stretched across on the river surface, the setting sun in the western sky, sprinkled the multi-colored sunlight along the eaves of boat dwellers. 高文皱了皱眉,将坏掉的蘸笔放到一旁,看着纸上勾勒出的线条蜿蜒的小河静静流淌,河岸边有古香古色的砖瓦房,小石桥横跨在河面上,夕阳西下,沿着水上人家的屋檐洒下霞光。 The dispersing ink marks are proliferating on the small stone bridge, seems swallowing this picture gradually. 散开的墨迹在小石桥上扩散着,仿佛正在渐渐吞噬这幅画面。 Gawain rubs one group the scratch paper conveniently, throws one side, the gate of study room opens almost at the same time, Amber pushed the door to walk. 高文随手把草稿纸揉成一团,扔到一旁,书房的门则几乎在同时打开,琥珀推门走了进来。 Napping Betty all of a sudden awakens, stands straightly, but who after seeing clearly the person had a yawn, the body also relaxed. 正在打盹的贝蒂一下子惊醒过来,笔直站好,但在看清来人是谁之后又打了个哈欠,身子也放松下来。 Gawain looked up pushed Miss Half-Elf one that the gate came, could not bear corner of the mouth go up: „...... This was really the day cold.” 高文抬头看了推门进来的半精灵小姐一眼,忍不住嘴角上翘:“……这真是天冷了啊。” „......?” Amber has not opened the mouth to hear such a, immediately a little cannot respond, „how to say this suddenly?” “……啊？”琥珀还没开口就听到这么一句,顿时有点反应不过来,“怎么突然说这个？” Gawain fingers of window: „This season, you did not walk the window.” 高文指指窗口:“这季节,连你都不走窗户了。” Amber one hear of this fork the waist immediately, is staring: „Nonsense! This greatly cold day is also blowing wind, I brave wind and snow to crawl the windows of your two buildings, but must brave to lock on the other side by you outside risk, I am not mental case!” 琥珀一听这个顿时叉起腰来,瞪着眼睛:“废话！这大冷的天还刮着风,我顶风冒雪爬你二楼的窗户,还要冒着被你反锁在外面的风险,我又不是神经病！” Was saying she then saw the balled paper on Gawain desk is well-known, Amber was a curiosity very exuberant species therefore then cannot bear collect curiously, judged after the Gawain's look this was not the secret, she turned on the balled paper conveniently, actually above saw is only a strange drawing. 说着她便看到了高文书桌上的纸团众所周知,琥珀是一个好奇心非常旺盛的物种于是便忍不住好奇地凑了上来,从高文的眼神中判断出这不是什么机密之后,她随手将纸团打开,却看到上面只是一幅古怪的图画而已。 „Where is this...... Gondor Empire? Was Sun the picture small......” Amber was blinking the eye, „good strange architectural style, seemed like also strange attractive...... judged from the construction, should possibly not be the northern area? You planned that which in promotes?” “这是什么地方……刚铎帝国么？太阳是不是画小了……”琥珀眨巴着眼睛,“好奇怪的建筑风格,看起来还怪好看的……不过从建筑形制判断,应该不可能是北方地区吧？你打算在哪推广？” „Conveniently picture, considers my imagination,” Gawain shot with the finger shot the paper in Amber, the rough sketch that is describing the other world scenery changed into the dust immediately silently, „first did not say that this, what situation did have?” “只是随手画的而已,就当是我的想象吧,”高文用手指弹了弹琥珀手里的纸张,那张描绘着异界风景的画稿随即无声无息地化为粉尘,“先不说这个了,有什么情况么？” „Yeah do not destroy...... Amber that was a pity strangely” first are subconsciously called one, then curled the lip, „but actually no important matter, but recently had the news to transmit, the Typhon border army has started to equip the magical vehicles...... compared with rapidness that also we estimated.” “哎你别毁了啊怪可惜的……”琥珀先是下意识地叫了一声,然后才撇撇嘴,“倒没什么大事,只是最近有消息传来,提丰的边境部队已经开始装备魔导车辆了……比咱们预想的还快。” Heard the Amber words, Gawain pinched the chin gently, after hesitating in a minute, showed a faint smile: „Sooner or later like this, this is the general trend. Informs Longwind Fortress, maintaining the security is good.” 听到琥珀的话,高文轻轻捏了捏下巴,片刻沉吟之后只是微微一笑:“迟早会这样的,这是大势所趋。通知长风要塞,维持警戒就好。” „Got it. In addition has, coming here time Hetty to make me remind your,” Amber then said, „imperial college must be operational next month, from various localities asked scholar also to arrive at the end of this month one after another, did you arrange the specific opening time?” “明白了。另外还有,来这边的时候赫蒂让我提醒你的,”琥珀接着说道,“帝国学院下个月就要投入使用了,来自各地的求学者这个月月底也在陆续抵达,你定好具体的开放时间了么？” „imperial college...... this matter was also ready finally,” Gawain is saying, nods, „open day decides in the next month first holiday, other timetables do not make the change.” “帝国学院……这件事也终于就绪了,”高文说着,点了点头,“开放日定在下个月的第一个休息日,其余时刻表不做变动。” „Good, I remembered.” “好,我记下了。” Gawain un, stopped speaks thoughtlessly to ask a moment later: „Right, what that is Bard making now?” 高文嗯了一声,停顿片刻之后随口问道:“对了,那个巴德现在在做什么？” „In the Druid research institute of Thorin great tree, is there research personnel and special adviser. Monitors the report that personnel transmits saying that he displayed also well, actively coordinates various actions, assistance that side work personnel to shift massive dangerous specimen from underground palace outward,” Amber is reporting, „the shifts of present these danger specimen had basically ended, the Bard following work was coordinates Druid and scholars studies the Thorin great tree they to hope that in the winter photosynthesis some research can improving the crops has helped.” “在索林巨树的德鲁伊研究所,担任那里的研究人员和特殊顾问。监视人员传来的报告说他表现还不错,积极配合各项行动,协助那边的工作人员从地宫里向外转移了大量危险样本,”琥珀汇报着,“现在那些危险样本的转移已经基本结束,巴德接下来的工作是配合德鲁伊和学者们研究索林巨树在冬季的光合作用他们希望这部分研究能对改良农作物有所帮助。” „Un, very good,” Gawain nods , asked that „what is Belterra making?” “嗯,很好,”高文点点头,又问道,“贝尔提拉在做什么？” „Is photosynthesizing.” “在进行光合作用。” Gawain: „......?” 高文:“……啊？” Amber cannot bear show the whites of the eyes: „Otherwise, you also counted on that what she can make?” 琥珀忍不住翻了个白眼:“不然呢,你还指望她能做什么？” Gawain was startled for one second, is covering the forehead with the hand: „...... But actually is also, she after all is a plant, usually also......” 高文怔了一秒,用手捂着脑门:“……倒也是,她毕竟是个植物,平常也……” During the sighs, special fluctuation that transmitted from the spirit deep place appears suddenly, after letting Gawain, half a word words stopped. 感叹间,一种从精神深处传来的特异波动突然浮现,让高文后半句话停了下来。 Table opposite Amber throws the curious line of sight: „What's wrong?” 桌对面琥珀投来好奇的视线:“怎么了？” „wait a moment, Daniel has the matter to look for me probably,” Gawain beckons with the hand, „you in side looks at, I need meditation. Betty, you go to the entrance, to come.” “等一下,丹尼尔好像有事情找我,”高文摆摆手,“你在旁边看着,我需要冥想。贝蒂,你去门口,不要让人进来。” Amber complies familiar and easy, out small maid dá dá runs, Gawain no longer delays the time, spirit is rapid, submerged the level of mind network own conscious little. 琥珀轻车熟路地答应下来,小女仆则哒哒地跑到门外,高文不再耽搁时间,精神迅速集中,将自己的意识一点点潜入到了心灵网络的层面。 After short dizziness and space replacement misconception, his present scene had turned into the origin space that endless and tranquil blue water blue sky, when the gigantic geometric pattern and gear shape structure in the sky static revolution, on the broad water surface of calm no wave are standing erect metal platforms just with this space was just born differently, these metal platforms at this moment no longer are empty one piece, but is arranging all kinds of test installations, forms experiment environment that one by one did not disturb each other. 短暂的眩晕和空间置换错觉之后,他眼前的景象已经变成了起源空间那片无尽且平静的碧水蓝天,硕大的几何图案和齿轮状结构在天空静静运转,无风无波的广阔水面上竖立着一座座金属平台只不过和这处空间刚诞生时不同,那些金属平台此刻已经不再是空荡荡一片,而是陈设着各式各样的实验装置,形成了一个个互不干扰的实验环境。 In the metal platform in distant place has the bright twinkle, obviously then has some group to connect this cyberspace through Immersion Cabin at this moment, is conducting certain experiments. 远方的金属平台上有亮光闪烁,显然此时此刻便有某个小组正通过浸入舱连接着这个网络空间,进行着某些实验。 Situated in originating the open region of space center will never receive these experiment environmental disturbances, here still laid aside a white round table, by the round table has an empty seat, Daniel is standing before a seat, sees Gawain to appear, old mage bends the waist immediately respectfully: „My Lord, was sorry very much suddenly disturbs you.” 位于起源空间中心的开阔区域是永远不受那些实验环境干扰的,这里仍然放置着一张白色的圆桌,圆桌旁有一圈空荡荡的座椅,丹尼尔正站在其中一张座椅前,看到高文出现,老法师立刻恭敬地弯下腰:“吾主,很抱歉突然打扰您。” „need not stood on ceremony,” Gawain beckons with the hand, sits down on own high back chair at will, „what happened?” “不用拘礼了,”高文摆摆手,随意在属于自己的高背椅上坐下,“发生什么事？” Daniel returns immediately said: „My Lord, the mind network somewhat was recently unusual, I think it is necessary to report to you.” 丹尼尔立刻回道:“吾主,最近心灵网络有些异样,我认为有必要向您报告。” „Oh?” Gawain lifts the eyelid, „said in detail.” “哦？”高文抬起眼皮,“详细说说。” „Is such matter......” “是这么回事……” The Daniel 1510 places were saying these rumors that in a period of time Eternal Sleepers mind network presents discussed strangely, was saying he through all sorts of clues that own personal connection and influence investigate, all affairs big or small, does not dare to have conceals slightly is reporting. 丹尼尔一五一十地说着最近一段时间永眠者心灵网络中出现的那些流言怪谈,说着他通过自己的人脉和势力调查到的种种线索,事无巨细,不敢有丝毫隐瞒地报告着。 „...... Basically, recently in supernatural phenomenon that in the mind network presents is these types, although the highest Bishop group expressed that these are the rumors, moreover my investigation has not discovered the above supernatural phenomenon substantial evidence temporarily, but from ‚witnessed the frequency and range that report’ presents judged, in addition I inquired in the Bishop community intelligence that the situation is not perhaps simple. “……基本上,最近一段时间在心灵网络中出现的异常现象就是这几种,最高主教团虽然表示这些都是谣言,而且我的调查也暂时未发现上述异常现象的实据,但从‘目击报告’出现的频率以及范围判断,再加上我在主教群体中打听到的情报,情况恐怕没那么简单。 „ Perhaps the operation of mind network truly had/left some problems, the stability of portion virtual space was dropping, certain the Eternal Sleepers believers of long-term linked network should also truly meet troubled me in the distress message that in the deep layer database found to be hidden, but why did not know, after I found the believer who these once sent a letter to pray for rescue, they actually knew nothing about these things. “心灵网络的运行恐怕确实出了一些问题,一部分虚拟空间的稳定性在下降,某些长时间连接网络的永眠者教徒应该也确实是遇上了麻烦我在深层数据库中找到了一些被隐藏起来的求救信息,但不知为何,当我找到那些曾发信求救的教徒之后,他们却对这些事情一无所知。 „The peripheral zone of city of Dreamland three regions were blocked recently, the highest Bishop group foreign view is to conduct the data reconstruction and necessary overhaul...... it is very normal operation, edge area temporary blockade also not first occurrence, but has this matter in this time, is unavoidably doubtable.” “梦境之城的边缘地带最近有三个区域被封锁了,最高主教团对外的说法是进行数据重构以及必要的检修……本身是很正常的操作,边缘区域临时封锁也并非第一次发生,但在这个时间段发生这种事情,还是难免让人怀疑。” Daniel were saying acquired intelligence, Gawain more listens to the brow more is wrinkles tightly. 丹尼尔一条条说着自己收集到的情报,高文则越听眉头越是紧皱起来。 Is exceptionally obvious, the perhaps ordinary believer is also hoodwinking by the highest Bishop group and Eternal Sleepers Pope words, but Daniel as Bishop, his acquired intelligence had confirmed sufficiently the mind network truly has problems. 异常已经非常明显,或许普通教徒还被最高主教团和永眠者教皇的话语蒙蔽着,但丹尼尔作为一名主教,他收集到的情报已经足以证实心灵网络确实是出了问题。 Its operation careless mistake, what...... is the reason? 它的运行出了纰漏,但……原因是什么？ Gawain subconsciously looked at surrounding origin space one, associate for no reason arises spontaneously, making the expression on his face unable to bear be strange. 高文下意识地看了周围的起源空间一眼,无端的联想油然而生,让他脸上的表情都忍不住古怪起来。 This origin space is he opens from the floor secret of mind network, rubbed the Eternal Sleepers computation strength, borrowed the current capacity of mind network, because recently that side Magical Technology Research Institute formed several teams newly, originated the space the frequency of use seems like higher and higher...... 这起源空间是他从心灵网络的底层秘密开辟出来的,蹭了永眠者的计算力,借了心灵网络的流量,而最近一段时间由于魔导技术研究所那边新成立了好几个项目组,起源空间的使用频率好像是越来越高了…… Mother, feared that is not weeds out is too fierce, died this sheep Hao who the wool weeds out quickly...... 妈耶,怕不是自己薅羊毛薅的太厉害,快把这羊薅死了吧…… Daniel actually could not guess correctly that powerful alien traveller in the brain was running at this time the train of what model, he is only because Gawain's suddenly silent, but some nervous: „My Lord?” 丹尼尔却猜不到强大的域外游荡者这时候脑子里在跑什么型号的火车,他只是因为高文的突然沉默而有些紧张:“吾主？” Gawain awakens from the ponder, looks to Daniel: „You said that...... the unusual circumstance of mind network can be related with the origin space?” 高文从沉思中惊醒,看向丹尼尔:“你说……心灵网络的异常情况会不会和起源空间有关？” „...... My Lord, to be honest, I had also suspected this direction,” Daniel seriously thought that lowers the head to answer the covered passageway, „after all origins the operation of space and mind network is closely linked, moreover it was carrying out several large-scale projects recently, absorption from network huge computation strength, but after inspects earnestly, I think the possibility that the origin space causes the mind network fault is very low.” “……吾主,说实话,我也怀疑过这个方向,”丹尼尔认真思索了一下,低头答复道,“毕竟起源空间和心灵网络的运行息息相关,而且它最近在执行数个大规模项目,从网络中汲取了庞大的计算力,但在认真检查之后,我认为起源空间导致心灵网络故障的可能性很低。” „Oh?” “哦？” „Origins the space the computation strength that reassigns from the mind network to be ‚redundancy’ part, in other words, beyond mind network branch range, does not affect the network overall operation that some computation strength,” Daniel answered, „the network resource Management way very simple and crude of Eternal Sleepers design, has massive computation strength waste, after I restructured their Management mechanism, the computation strength that this part wasted was hidden by me, specialized for maintaining origin space, therefore no matter how theoretically originated the space again expansion, will not affect the backbone network......” “起源空间从心灵网络中抽调的计算力都属于‘冗余’部分,换句话说,就是在心灵网络主干范围之外的、不影响网络整体运行的那部分计算力,”丹尼尔解释道,“永眠者原本设计的网络资源管理方式非常简单粗暴,存在着大量的计算力浪费,在我重构他们的管理机制之后,这部分原本就浪费掉的计算力被我隐藏了起来,专门用于维持起源空间,因此理论上不管起源空间再怎么膨胀发展,都是不会影响到主干网的……” „Un......” Gawain touches the chin, hesitates was saying, „the words that spoke, unusual fluctuation of mind network won't affect the origin space?” “嗯……”高文摸了摸下巴,沉吟着说道,“这么说的话,心灵网络的异常波动也不会影响到起源空间？” „Theoretically is this, but we will should better or strengthen in the near future to originating the monitoring of space,” the Daniel nod said, „why after all now has not investigated thoroughly these phenomenon of backbone network is, if ‚mind network’ this thing infrastructure has the hidden danger, then even if origin space and backbone network be at isolation condition, difficult insurance not to have problems.” “理论上是这样的,但我们近期最好还是加强对起源空间的监控,”丹尼尔点头说道,“毕竟现在还没查清楚主干网的那些异象是因何而起,万一是‘心灵网络’这一事物的基础架构存在隐患,那么哪怕起源空间和主干网处于隔绝状态,也难保不会出问题。” „Can have the danger in research personnel that originating the laboratory works?” Gawain said the issue that oneself most were worried about at this moment. “在起源实验室里工作的研究人员会不会有危险？”高文说出了自己此刻最担心的问题。 „At present,” Daniel will it seems like not have pondered obviously the issue in this aspect, quick that he replied, „in mind network these condition unusual connection had a common feature: They maintain the long-term networking condition, accepts the cranial nerve of deep level to transform, is almost impossible to break the net completely, moreover they regularly conduct the depth immersion, the connection of spirit and network is close, but we origin researcher of laboratory through the Immersion Cabin networking, has a protection of real world, and does not have the situation that the depth immerses, simultaneously they also strictly carry out the operating time system that you stipulate, will not maintain connects for a long time, the security can guarantee.” “目前看来不会,”丹尼尔显然也已经思考过这方面的问题,他回答的很快,“心灵网络中那些状态异常的连接者都有个共通点:他们维持长时间的联网状态,接受过深层次的脑神经改造,几乎无法完全断网,而且他们经常进行深度沉浸,精神与网络的连接过于紧密而我们起源实验室的研究者们是通过浸入舱联网的,存在一层现实世界的防护,且不存在深度沉浸的情况,同时他们还严格执行您规定的工作时间制度,不会维持长时间连接,安全性是可以保证的。” Gawain hears word relaxes slightly: „That...... should enhance vigilance fortunately. When I will remind my here research personnel in the near future the networking pays attention to the spirit condition especially, you continue to pay attention to the mind network all unusual circumstances.” 高文闻言稍稍松了口气:“那还好……不过还是应该提高警惕。我会提醒我这边的研究人员近期联网时格外注意自身精神状态,你则继续关注心灵网络的一切异常情况。” Daniel deeply lowers the head immediately: „Yes, My Lord.” 丹尼尔立刻深深低头:“是,吾主。” Gawain shouted the tone, raises head to look that great sky to the top of the head. The huge geometric structure and symbol digit were still revolving in that clear Sky Dome, the wall of invisible data was cut off this secret space and connection of backbone network, stands in the origin space broad water and sky, will visit here person perception to not having another huge network is operating with this spatial alignment. 高文呼了口气,仰头看向头顶之上那广阔无垠的天空。巨大的几何结构与符号数字仍然在那澄澈的天穹中运转着,无形的数据之墙阻隔了这处秘密空间和主干网的连接,站在起源空间广阔的水天之间,造访这里的人根本不会感知到有另外一个更加庞大的网络与这处空间同步运行着。 But after Gawain opened the high-level jurisdiction, he can actually see 但在高文开启了更高级的权限之后,他却能看到更多 He can notice that a huge network world and origin space is parallel exists, city of the broad Dreamland covers sky over this space, the countless luminous spot dances in the air to drift in void, that is as the computation strength node Eternal Sleepers believer, that is the residents in this network world. 他能看到一个更加庞大的网络世界与起源空间平行存在,一座恢弘的梦境之城就覆盖在这处空间上空,无以计数的光点在虚空中飞舞漂移着,那是作为计算力节点的永眠者教徒,那是这个网络世界中的居民们。 But in his, in broad boundless „water surface” , is chaos, more complex light class/flow, that is the mind network in-depth foundation, is this world's that use for several hundred years to establish is darkest deep network „abyss”. 而在他脚下,在广阔无边的“水面”下方,则是更加混乱、更加复杂的光流,那是心灵网络更深层的根基,是这个用数百年才建立起来的虚拟世界最黑暗深沉的网络“深渊”。 He knits the brows. 他皱起眉来。 This sheep looks like does not weed out by oneself...... 这羊看来不是被自己薅死的…… Then its suddenly this? 那它怎么突然就这样了呢？
