Five years ago the dead in ritual. 五年前仪式中的死者。 Pregnant woman who before two -and-a-half years, difficult labor passed away. 两年半前难产去世的孕妇。 Now, newborn who will soon be born...... 如今,即将出生的新生儿…… „......, if takes Black Sea as the mirror surface.” “……如果以黑海为镜面的话。” Darryl Bishop ponder moment, complexion somewhat serious saying: „Roseburg and Coldwind White Tower position, is almost symmetrical.” 达里尔主教沉思片刻,面色有些严肃的说道:“罗斯堡和凛风白塔的位置,也差不多是对称的。” Obviously, fat Bishop was also convinced by the speculation of Salvatore. 很显然,胖主教也被萨尔瓦托雷的推测说服了。 And...... 而且…… Annan knits the brows slightly, seriously is thinking. 安南微微皱眉,认真思索着。 Information that he obtains, actually must be more than Darryl- 他所得到的情报,其实比达里尔还要更多一些- The Notredaeme present new house „Rustwater Street No. 12”, in fact is the Gerald Dental Clinic next door. 诺特达姆现在的新房子“锈水街12号”,实际上是就是杰拉尔德牙医诊所的隔壁。 If not for were murdered, Great Sorcerer Benjamin should also arrive in Icewater Port. Icewater Port from Roseburg, but only has several hours of distance. 若不是被人谋杀,大巫师本杰明原本也应该抵达冻水港。冻水港距离罗斯堡,可是只有几个小时的路程。 In addition...... and five years ago Maria Coldwinter appearance exactly the same Annan. 再加上……和五年前的玛利亚・凛冬长相一模一样的安南。 What does this mean? 这意味着什么？ The pupil of Annan contracts slightly. 安南的瞳孔微微收缩。 According to the Salvatore information, Michelangelo in ritual final has something go wrong. But Annan the news obtained from the nightmare is...... ritual in any event, when will only be left over four people will terminate. 根据萨尔瓦托雷的情报,米开朗基罗是在仪式的最后出了岔子。而安南从噩梦中得到的消息是……仪式无论如何,都会在只剩下四个人的时候终止。 Then, the final survivor should be „Michelangelo” and „Maria” and „Benjamin” and „Gerald” four people. 那么,最终的生还者应该就是“米开朗基罗”、“玛利亚”、“本杰明”、“杰拉尔德”四人。 In other words ,...... 换言之…… Five years ago, Michelangelo died, Maria, Benjamin and Gerald three people by him. 在五年前,米开朗基罗死去的时候,玛利亚、本杰明、杰拉尔德三人都是在他旁边的。 But now. 而现在。 Beside Maria that without leaving accidentally/surprisingly...... except for is not really able duplicate/restores to carve, Annan, Benjamin and Gerald, should meet again here. 如果没有出意外……除了实在无法复刻的玛利亚之外,安南、本杰明和杰拉尔德,应该都会在这里重聚。 The brain of Annan is rotating fast. 安南的大脑快速转动着。 Thinks to look...... 想想看吧…… If Annan is not this crossing over, but Benjamin has not murdered, how can the present situation be? 假如安南并非是自己这个穿越者,而本杰明没有谋杀,现在的情况会是如何？ In own stupor , in the sand beach, Benjamin and Don Juan will arrive. But sees Maria Benjamin first to recognize the Annan identity, and protects him. 在自己昏迷在沙滩上的时候,本杰明和唐璜就会抵达。而见过玛利亚的本杰明将会第一时间认出安南的身份,并将他保护起来。 Knew that Benjamin this well-known Great Sorcerer guards Icewater Port, launches the attack with Salvatore black fire that Viscount naturally cannot bring contempt upon oneself. But Viscount and Chief Guard Klaus is one group, then he will know the Annan status. 得知本杰明这位知名大巫师看守冻水港,子爵自然不会自取其辱的用萨尔瓦托雷的黑火发动袭击。但子爵和护卫长克劳斯是一伙的,那么他就会得知安南的身份。 In order to deter Don Juan do not act rashly, completes own reincarnation ritual peacefully, he will invite Benjamin, Don Juan and Annan three people, is held the banquet in the Viscount mansion. 为了威慑唐璜不要轻举妄动,安静的完成自己的转生仪式,他会邀请本杰明、唐璜和安南三人,在子爵府中举行宴会。 But the Viscount mansion and Notredaeme old room is neighboring. 而子爵府与诺特达姆的老屋是相邻的。 Like the Notredaeme new home and Gerald dental clinics is neighboring same...... 如同诺特达姆的新家与杰拉尔德的牙医诊所是相邻着的一样…… „Now wants to come, indeed some are not right.” “现在想来,的确有些不对劲。” Salvatore is looking at Annan, kept a serious look: „ Before Notredaeme your excellency, has told us......, if we and in Gerald fight, Gerald wins finally. Then Notredaeme must invite Gerald, replaces Viscount to show good will with him. 萨尔瓦托雷望着安南,表情严肃:“诺特达姆阁下之前跟我们说过……如果我们与杰拉尔德的战斗中,杰拉尔德最终取胜。那么诺特达姆就要去邀请杰拉尔德,代替子爵与他示好。 „But we neglected a matter. Notredaeme is only an ordinary tax collector, even is not Transcendent. Why can Viscount send out such a person? Really to take punishment for somebody else? Listens to his words, he is being the work that Viscount racks one's brains, has not offended Viscount......” “可我们忽略了一件事。诺特达姆只是一位普通的税务官而已,甚至不是超凡者。为什么子爵要派出这样一个人？真的就只是为了顶罪吗？听他的话,他一直在为子爵殚精竭虑的工作,也没有得罪过子爵……” „What he said is the truth.” “他说的是真话。” Annan continued Salvatore, earnest saying: „ At least Notredaeme before saying that these words, is very indeed vacant. 安南接过萨尔瓦托雷的话头,认真的说道:“至少诺特达姆在说之前那些话的时候,的确很茫然。 „ He does not know why Viscount must aim at him. But in addition, a possibility...... “他根本不知道,为什么子爵要针对他。但除此之外,还有一个可能…… „That is, Notredaeme really knows Gerald. But in ‚this time’ he, does not know this matter.” “那就是,诺特达姆是真的认识杰拉尔德。但在‘这个时间段’的他,并不知道这件事。” If, has two tax collector Notredaeme simultaneously, all can explain. 假如说,同时存在两个税务官诺特达姆,一切就可以解释了。 Annan remembers, he when delivers Annan and Salvatore returns to the Viscount mansion, once nonchalant has proposed one, his wife Maris Notredaeme is the Black Tower apprentice, knows that what is Soul Seizing Sorcerer, knows the matter about Transcendent. 安南记得,他在送安南和萨尔瓦托雷回子爵府的时候,曾经不经意的提过一句,他的妻子梅里斯・诺特达姆是黑塔的学徒,知道什么叫夺魂巫师、也知道关于超凡者的事。 Salvatore has told Annan, the Sorcerer Tower apprentice generally speaking is a young fellow. Once had not learned first magic spell to 24 years old, usually will be persuaded to quit, because this has not studied the magic spell ability on behalf of them. 萨尔瓦托雷告诉过安南,巫师塔的学徒一般来说都是少年人。一旦到了二十四岁还没有学会第一个法术,通常就会被劝退,因为这代表他们没有学习法术的才能。 In the average person stage, society's first magic spell is most difficult. This means that they sense and control part of curses, according to complicated the rule that does not contradict combs to absorb it. The entire process is about similar to using the imagination programs. 在普通人阶段,学会第一个法术是最为困难的。这意味着他们感悟并掌控一部分的诅咒,按照繁复的、并不相悖的规则将其梳理吸纳。整个过程大约类似于用想象力编程。 If there is grasped magic spell, regarded as them to obtain „Sorcerer Apprentice” this Class, was called „apprentice”. Can allow them to study are 36 years old. 而如果已经掌握了一个法术,就视为他们已经得到了“巫师学徒”这个职业,称为“学徒”。可以允许他们学习到三十六岁。 By that time, they affirmed that has learned enough magic spell. If 12 years pass by, but also without success rank advancement to Bronze Rank, then showed that they either in process of learn/study, deeply understood misfortune that enter into Path of Transcendence, dreading in becoming Transcendent...... are their mind are either stupid, purification that are unable to succeed even if a nightmare. 到那时,他们肯定已经学会了足够的法术。如果十二年过去,还没有成功进阶到青铜阶,那么就说明他们要么是在学习的过程中,深刻的理解了迈入超凡之路的不幸,畏惧于成为超凡者……要么就是他们的头脑过于愚笨,无法成功的净化哪怕一个噩梦。 By that time, they will be persuaded to quit. Before then, which apprentice if there is to decide that gives up the road of Sorcerer, or no longer wants to step into unusually through Sorcerer this road, can leave at any time. 到了那时,他们才会被劝退。在此之前,如果有哪位学徒决定放弃巫师之路、或者不再想通过巫师这条路踏入超凡,也可以随时离开。 The only restraint is, once after departure, cannot come back again. 唯一的约束是,一旦离开以后就不能再回来。 Maris Notredaeme is the Swamp Black Tower apprentice, this means that she grasped one to four magic spell inevitably. 梅里斯・诺特达姆是泽地黑塔的学徒,这意味着她必然掌握了一到四个法术。 But magic spell School that Swamp Black Tower teaches, only has Transmutation, Shaping and Soul Seizing three departments. Before Salvatore enters a school, the Transmutation School apprentices were killed a cleanness by Gerald. 而泽地黑塔所传授的法术学派,只有转化、塑形、夺魂三系。在萨尔瓦托雷入学之前,转化学派的学徒都被杰拉尔德杀了个干净。 In other words, Maris Notredaeme, the big probability knows Gerald. 也就是说,梅里斯・诺特达姆,大概率是认识杰拉尔德的。 Calculated from her age, she may is the apprentice who Gerald teaches. 从她的年龄上推算,她很有可能就是杰拉尔德教出来的学徒。 Even may be before Gerald leaves Swamp Black Tower, board game piece that lays down- 甚至有可能是在杰拉尔德离开泽地黑塔之前,就埋下的棋子- „If I have not guessed that wrong,” looks at Salvatore, Annan opens the mouth to say slowly, „key point, was lies in you ‚gate’ may close.” “如果我没有猜错的话,”看着萨尔瓦托雷,安南缓缓开口道,“关键点,可能是在于你将‘门’都关上了。” Now recalls, from the outermost front door to inside, all gates opens wide completely, this is very strange. 现在回想起来,从最外面的大门到里面,所有的门全部敞开,这就很怪异。 But Annan they walk from outside, almost anything has not bumped. 而安南他们两人从外面走进来,几乎什么都没有碰。 Has moved only thing, is Salvatore based on his custom, closed the door after oneself...... closes all gates. 唯一动过的东西,就是萨尔瓦托雷基于他的习惯,随手关门……将所有的门都关上了。 After all gates were closed, „before two -and-a-half years of Mr. and Mrs. Notredaeme” suddenly appeared. 而在所有的门都被关上后,“两年半前的诺特达姆夫妇”就突然出现了。 „I suspected, possibly another side is also the same.” “我怀疑,可能另外一边也是一样的。” Annan looks to Darryl Bishop, lowers the head slightly: „Also please look at one. Whether this ritual, with ‚gate’ makes and breaks related. Then confirmed again......, if our beforehand speculations were correct, then two different time lines ‚Notredaeme’, whether also to appear?” 安南看向达里尔主教,微微低头:“还请您去看一眼。是否这个仪式,与‘门’的开闭有关。然后就是再确认一下……如果我们之前的推测是正确的,那么两个不同时间线的‘诺特达姆’,能否同时出现？” The Darryl Bishop real status, is Silver Noble cardinal Bishop. 达里尔主教的真实身份,是银爵士的枢机主教。 Without a doubt-, although of undistinguished appearance, but his strength certainly is Annan has seen the strongest person...... or at least is the strongest that group of people. 毫无疑问-虽然其貌不扬,但他的实力一定是安南见过的最强的人……或者至少是最强的那一批人。 This matter, must ask the big shot to search a road. 这种事,还是得请大佬探个路的。 This did not call to instigate, this called discretely. 这不叫怂,这叫谨慎。 „These can give me.” “这些可以交给我。” Darryl Bishop nods, where also without feeling is not right. 达里尔主教点点头,也没有感觉到哪里不对。 If the Annan reckless wave in the past, how he instead must worry to catch Annan, to make him do not do...... 要是安南不要命的浪过去,他反而要发愁怎么拽住安南、让他不要作死…… Can have the good teammate who is unhappy sees off, a matter that is also free from worry very much. 能有不喜欢送的好队友,也是很省心的一件事。 „But, sounds......” “不过,听起来……” Fat Bishop somewhat unusual looks to Annan: „Are you two have other arrangements?” 胖主教有些稀奇的看向安南:“你们两个是另有安排？” „Yes.” “是的。” Annan and Salvatore look at each other one, replied: „We planned that Icewater Port, makes some preparations. For these days, but also please check the material again, had a look, if took the difficult labor on that day for boundary...... that true date of birth, was which day. Later you can send people to inform us about 1-2 days ahead of schedule.” 安南与萨尔瓦托雷对视一眼,答道:“我们打算回一趟冻水港,做些准备。这几天内,还请您再查一下资料,看看如果以难产的那一天为分界线……那么真正的出生日期,到底是哪一天。之后您可以派人提前一两天来通知我们。” „, This does not use actually.” “哦,这倒是不用。” Darryl Bishop smiles, on face not extremely anxious: „ I just did mental arithmetic, the final day should be on December 14. You two 13 th before evening, comes back well. 达里尔主教笑了笑,脸上没有太过紧张:“我刚刚心算了一下,最终的日子应该是12月14日。你们两个13号晚上前回来就好。 „ You two, if has anything to plan, hurries. Viscount here matter I also solved for you...... “你们两个要是有什么打算,就赶紧回去。子爵这边的事我也替你解决了吧…… „Good that Silver Noble said that matter must divide relative importance.” “银爵士说的好,事情要分轻重缓急。” Fat Bishop, showed the kind smile with a laugh: 胖主教笑呵呵的,露出了和蔼的笑容: The power struggles of mortals and these pieces of work that „ just in time, these are blinded by greed...... are the most immaterial that batch. “正巧,那些利欲熏心的凡人、那些小打小闹的权力斗争……是最无关紧要的那批。 „If they dare to be noisy at this time, I will make them know the price.” “如果他们敢在这个时候闹,我会让他们知道代价的。”
