街上马水马龙,熙熙攘攘,人们在一家家的商店里进出。Rennhave a relishis observing, has saying that canin the person who onthisstreetpresents, at leastis the middle classortranscendent, eitheris the extraordinary academystudent, the mental outlook of peoplegoodtooto be obviously more than Longshandeotherblocks.雷恩饶有兴致的观察着,不得不说,能在这条街上出现的人,至少都是中产阶级或超凡者,要么就是超凡学院的学生,人们的精神面貌明显比隆杉德的其它街区好太多了。This point, can only lookfromeveryone'strip mode.
这一点,光是从大家的出行方式就能看出来。
The rich and powerful peopletake the automobile, the aristocratyoung ladiescherish the magnificentcarriage, the powerful and braveknightis riding the big tall horse, the transcendentsidefollowingstrangebeast of prey, orridessimply above, occasionallysomepeoplelead the wayon foot, the speed is also much faster than the average person.
富豪们乘坐汽车,贵族小姐们更钟爱华丽的马车,孔武有力的骑士骑着高头大马,超凡者们身边跟着奇异猛兽,或是干脆骑在上面,偶尔有人徒步前行,速度也比普通人快得多。Rennalsosaw a veryfamiliartransportation vehiclebicycle.雷恩还看到了一种非常熟悉的交通工具自行车。He, oneself in schoolalsosecond-handbicycles, butjustrodeis stolen awayfor half a month, loved dearlyfor a long time.
他记起来,自己以前在学院也有一辆二手自行车,只是刚骑半个月就被人偷走了,心疼了好久。
The bicyclein the empirepopularmanyyears, the priceis inexpensive, ispeoplein the city the busbesides the transportation vehicle that mostlikes.
自行车在帝国流行多年,价格也不贵,是人们在城里除公共汽车之外最喜欢的交通工具。A lot ofworkneedto use the bicycle, for exampleposmananddelivering the paperlabor, somepeoplere-equip the tricycle, did the mobilecommerce.
很多工作都需要用到自行车,比如邮差和送报工,也有人改装成三轮车,搞起了流动商贩。„Pitifully, thisworldhad the bicycleunexpectedly, the creativity of money-makingwas short ofone.”
“可惜,这个世界居然有自行车了,赚钱的创意少了一个。”Rennregrettableis thinking, butnotpuzzled.雷恩不无遗憾的想着,但是也没有过于纠结。Developedseveral hundredyears of the world in a steam engine and mechanical skill, evenwithout the petroleum and electric power, bicycletype of structurally simpletool, will be inventedsooner or later.
在一个蒸汽机和机械技术发展了几百年的世界,即使没有石油和电力,自行车这种结构简单的工具,迟早会被人发明出来。„madam, pleasemaintain the stance, do not move, cannotmovewell......, isthis, good...... immediatelygood!”
“女士,请保持姿态,不要动,千万不能动……好的,就是这样,好的……马上就好!”„Ipreparedto pat, threeandtwo......”
“我准备拍了,三、二……”
The high-pitched and finemanvoicebrings to the attention of Renntogether, is thisis doing?
一道尖细的男人声音引起雷恩的注意,这是在干什么?Helocked the acoustic source, proceededfastseveralsteps, has transferred the corner, suddenly, at present the white lightsparkle, makinghimlift the handscreen eyessubconsciously, had a scare.
他锁定了声源,快速往前走了几步,转过墙角,突然啪的一声,眼前白光闪耀,令他下意识的抬手挡住眼睛,被吓了一跳。„Whatghost?”
“什么鬼?”
The white lightflashesto pass, Rennthenseesnot far away, has a manto liftis seeming likesearchlightonething, the lightfromaboveround, is emittinga lot ofwhite smokes.
白光一闪而逝,雷恩这才看到不远处,有个男人举着像是探照灯一样的东西,光是从上面发出来的,正在冒出大量的白烟。
The menare bending the waist, puts in a wooden chest, the boxinstallson a tripod, the boxpositive/directopening, is loaded with the glasslens, behindis linking a bulkblack cloth, covered the upper part of man.
男人弯着腰,把头伸进一个木箱子里面,箱子安装在一个三脚架上面,箱子正面开孔,装有玻璃镜片,后面连着一大块黑布,罩住了男人的上半身。In the opposite of box, a youngwomanstandsunder the tree of Bruntstreet, the hand-heldparapet, the backjustcansee the Wizard Towerpanoramic view, on the facesqueezes out the happy expression, veryunnaturalis maintaining the bearing, possiblywas the timewas too long, the bodysomewhatwas stiff.
在箱子的对面,一个年轻女人站在布伦特街边的树下,手扶栏杆,背后刚好可以看到巫师塔的全景,脸上挤出笑意,很不自然的保持着站姿,可能是时间太久了,身体都有些僵硬。Rennlookedunderstood, this was photographing!雷恩一看就明白了,这是在拍照!
The sidealsocrowds, mostlyare the young people, the men and women, excitedlooks at the two people in photograph, oftendiscussedwithcompanion,whatphotographposturetakes a good photo.
旁边还有一圈围观群众,大多是年轻人,男男女女,兴奋的看着拍照中的两人,不时跟身边的同伴讨论,什么样的拍照姿势更上镜。Rennalsocame the interestimmediately, joinedbystander.雷恩顿时也来了兴趣,加入了围观者的行列。The one whois responsible forphotographingis a middle-aged man, is thin, the appearanceis refined, wearseyeglasses, heextracts the negativelikesealboxfrom the wooden chest, forces innearbycarriage.
负责拍照的是一个中年男人,身材消瘦,长相斯文,戴着一副眼镜,他从木箱子里抽出像密封盒子一样的底片,塞进旁边的马车。„Daguerre, the negativecame.”
“达盖尔,底片来了。”Thiscarriagewithblackcloth wrappersolid, denselightproof, probably a tent, someinsidepeoplecatch the box, the soundpasses on: „Good, Eastman.”
这辆马车用黑布包得严严实实,密不透光,像是一个帐篷,里面有人接住盒子,声音从中传出来:“好的,伊斯曼。”
The middle-aged person who is calledEastmantowas saidbyphotograph: „madam, yourpictureshot, waited a bita while, immediatelywashedtoyou.”
被叫作伊斯曼的中年人向被拍照者说道:“女士,你的照片拍好了,稍等一会儿,马上就给你洗出来。”Then, heturns to the bystander, saidloudly: „Who does alsowantto photograph? Brunt Streetcould not findcompared with this betterposition, standshere, canpatentireWizard Tower and ensure yousatisfy. A picturewantsonesilverkrona, the picturewashesto pay moneyagain, if not happy, only need paytencopperResorto retakeagain!”
然后,他转向围观者,大声道:“还有谁要拍照吗?布伦特街找不到比这更好的位置了,站在这里,可以把整座巫师塔都拍进去,保证你们满意。一张照片只要一个银克朗,照片洗出来再付钱,如果不满意,只需再付十个铜里索就可以重拍!”„Imustpatone.”
“我要拍一张。”„Ifirstcome, makingmefirstpat.”
“我先来的,让我先拍。”Severalyoung peopleencirclecompetitively, Eastmanhurriesto persuade, makingeveryone should not be anxious, comes, onhisfaceblossomshappily.
几个年轻人争先恐后的围上去,伊斯曼赶紧劝说,让大家不要急,一个一个来,他的脸上乐开了花。Renndoes not wantto photograph, thereforewithdrew from the crowd.雷恩没想拍照,于是退出了人群。Heactuallyopeneddetachably, the camera techniquepresentsmanyyears, the empirehas the photo studioeverywhere, inthisstriped clothLunt Streethas78, the businessis quite good. Inownsmall town, opened a crudephoto studiolast year, the whole familyalsomade the family photo, motherMalindamounted the picture, hungliving roomat home.
他心里却活络开了,摄影技术出现已经很多年,帝国到处都有照相馆,这条布伦特街上就有七八家,生意相当不错。就连自己的老家小镇上,去年也开了一家简陋的照相馆,一家人还去拍了全家福,母亲玛琳达把照片裱装起来,挂在家里的客厅。
The price of photographis not cheap, in the photo studio, makes a pictureto take15copperResor.
拍照的价格不便宜,在照相馆里,拍一张照片要十五个铜里索。Selects a scene the photography to be more expensiveon the street, picture20copperResor, isonesilverkrona, is equivalent to a civilianday of workreward.
在街上取景拍摄要贵一些,一张照片二十个铜里索,也就是一个银克朗,相当于平民一天的工作报酬。Howeverpeoplestillgo after like ducks, obviouslyeveryone'sdemandto the photographis very high, thisis a verypotentialconsumer market.
但是人们依然趋之若鹜,可见大家对拍照的需求很高,这是一个非常有潜力的消费市场。Rennhas not done the carefulresearchto the photography and camera, beforehas looked at a photographichistoryin the library, remembers the partial correlation the content, and technical details of someold stylecameras.雷恩对摄影和相机没有做过仔细研究,以前在图书馆看过一本摄影发展史,记得部分相关的内容,以及一些老式相机的技术细节。If memory serves, the twoa moment agowhatusedis„wet-plate photographylaw”, perhaps the liquid medicines of photosensitizersandflushingpictureare different, but the principleis certainly common.
如果没有记错的话,刚才那两人使用的是“湿版摄影法”,也许感光剂和冲洗照片的药水不一样,但是原理一定是共通的。Thismeasurement of shell fragmentsnot onlybackwardnessandtroubles, is only looked that unwieldycarriageknew, photographing to bring a large cartequipment and liquid medicinesgoes out.
这种摄影方法既落后又麻烦,光是看那辆笨重的马车就知道了,拍张照片要带一大车设备和药水出门。Ifcando a portablecamera, seizing the photographymarketis simply effortless!
如果能搞出一台便携式相机,抢占照相市场简直不费吹灰之力!In the Rennbrainhasmanyideasall of a sudden, heonlyremembers that the approximateprinciple of camera, wantsto makeoneto come outtruly, mustspend the timeto try to find out,tryingto knowto be good.雷恩脑中一下子冒出很多想法,他只记得相机的大致原理,想真正的制造一台出来,必须花时间去摸索,试一试才知道行不行。WhilehisfullNaoziis thinkinghow when to use the cameragainstogreatly the golden Shield, suddenly, an automobileonnearbyroadstops, the driveropens the front doorto walk, politeasking: „Excuse me, isMr.Renn?”
正当他满脑子想着怎么利用相机赚到大把金盾之时,忽然,一辆汽车在旁边的路上停住,司机打开前门走下来,礼貌的问道:“请问,是雷恩先生吗?”Rennsomewhatlooked at the drivervigilantly, looksto the automobile, the curtainarrange/cloth in glasstunnelled the vision.雷恩有些警惕的看了看司机,又看向汽车,车窗里的帘布挡住了视线。Howeverthiscannot bafflehim, listens attentivelywith rapt attention, the automobileback rowhears a heartbeat, thisheartbeatis strong, unlike the heartbeatrhythm of average personcompletely, obviouslyistranscendent, moreoveris a man.
不过这难不倒他,凝神倾听,汽车后排传来一个心跳声,这心跳强劲有力,跟普通人的心跳节奏完全不同,明显是超凡者,而且是个男人。„Mr.Renn, I am without any malicious intent.”
“雷恩先生,我没有恶意。”
The drivershows the genialsmile, saidrespectfullyin a low voice: „Mybosson the vehicle, hewantsto seeyou, discussed the unusualprofessionmatterwithyou. Pleaseboard, I ensure youwill not regret.”
司机露出和善的微笑,恭敬低声道:“我的老板就在车上,他想见你,跟你谈一谈超凡职业的事情。请上车,我保证你不会后悔。”Saying, himwas opening the back door of automobileon own initiative.
说着,他主动打开了汽车的后门。Rennsaw that a well-dressedattractivemiddle-aged personsitson the vehicle, expressed best wishesto the slight nod, gave a hand signal of invitation.雷恩看到一个衣着整齐光鲜的中年人坐在车上,对自己微微点头致意,做了一个邀请的手势。Hepretendsto consider for severalseconds, openssoul eyesin secret, looked at an insightthismiddle-aged person.
他装作考虑几秒钟,暗中开启灵魂之眼,把这个中年人看了个通透。„7th ranktranscendent, Mechanic?”
“七级超凡者,机械师?”Rennis somewhat surprised, transcendent how to meettoday, the rankis one by one higher, firstis6th rankMyriad Spirits WizardViola, nowcomes7th rankMechanic.雷恩有些惊讶,怎么今天遇到的超凡者,一个比一个等级更高,先是六级的万灵巫师维欧拉,现在又来一个七级机械师。7th rankhas strided inhigh rankprofession, moreovercanMechanic, be quite rare, entireLongshandepossiblycannot discoverseveralsuchhighranksMechanic.七级已经跨入高阶职业了,而且还是能够施法的机械师,相当罕见,整个隆杉德可能都找不出几个这么高级别的机械师。At this moment, the soulcolor of thismiddle-aged personis primarily the whitegreentwocolors, hasseveralpoints of orange, explained that hismoodquiterelaxestranquilly, andwas somewhat happy,is mixing with the littleexcitementsor the anticipations.
此刻,这个中年人的灵魂颜色以白绿两色为主,带有几分橙色,说明他的情绪比较平静放松,并且有些高兴,夹杂着少许的兴奋或期待。„Hetrulydoes not have the hostility.”
“他确实没有敌意。”After the experience of suchlongobservationsoul, Rennhas been ableroughlyto judgeothers'moodthrough the soulcolor, as well astoownattitude.
经过这么久观察灵魂的经验,雷恩已经能通过灵魂颜色大致判断别人的情绪,以及对自己的态度。Rennfelt relievedslightly, thereforesitting the automobileback row, the driverhelpedhimclose the vehicle doorintimately.雷恩稍稍放心,于是坐上了汽车后排,司机贴心的帮他关上车门。„Mr.Renn, myCarnegie*Keuffel, the vice-chairman of steamandmechanicaltrade union, thisismyname card.”Rennjustsatboards, the middle-aged personintroduced oneself, anddoublehanded over a bronzedname card, on the facefullwas the sinceresmile.
“雷恩先生,鄙人凯涅吉*罗科费尔,蒸汽与机械工会的副会长,这是我的名片。”雷恩刚坐上车,中年人就自我介绍,并且双手递过来一张烫金名片,脸上满是诚挚的笑容。Saw that the opposite partyis so polite, Rennhas not neglected, extendsboth handsto receive the name card, the nodshouldsay: „PresidentCarnegie, hello/you good.”
看到对方如此客气,雷恩没有怠慢,伸出双手接过名片,点头应道:“凯涅吉会长,你好。”When the speech, helooked atcontent on a name card, discovered that thismisterhasseveraltitles.
在说话之时,他瞄了一眼名片上的内容,发现这位先生有好几个头衔。Firstis the steam and vice-chairman of mechanicaltrade unionLongshandebranch, is Keuffelmining industrycompanyfounder, Andersmechanicalcompany boss, the empiresteelalliancedeacon, the alchemyassociationseniormemberswait/etc, a Barontitle, is the truearistocrat, thesetitlecasualtake to be the great personin the city.
第一个就是蒸汽与机械工会隆杉德分会的副会长,接着是罗科费尔矿业公司创始人,安德斯机械公司老板,帝国钢铁联盟执事,炼金协会高级会员等等,还有一个男爵爵位,属于真正的贵族,这些头衔随便一个拿出来在城里都算得上大人物。
Before Renn, has not heardthis, butfrom the manner of opposite party, and name cardtitle, obviouslythisisbigrich and powerful people who are engaged in the mining industry and machinery industry.雷恩以前没有听说过这位,不过从对方的行为举止,以及名片头衔来看,显然这是一位从事矿业与机械行业的大富豪。InEarthorAllanus, in the handhas the ore, candigmoneyfrom the place, is the biglocal tyrant, truepowerful officialsocial class.
无论是在地球还是艾伦厄斯,手里有矿,能从地里挖钱的,都是大土豪,真正的权贵阶级。„Iam not an association president, hasseveralvice-chairmeninourLongshande, Iam only one of them.”Carnegiefranksmiledseveral, said: „Was myagecompared withyour are more than ten years old, calledyouRenngreatlydirectly?”
“我可不是会长,在我们隆杉德有好几位副会长,我只是其中之一。”凯涅吉爽朗的笑了几声,又道:“我的年龄比你大十几岁,直接叫你雷恩可以吗?”„Sure.”
“当然可以。”Rennis indifferent, asked: „Does Mr.Carnegie, whatmatteryouaskmeto have?”雷恩对此是无所谓的,问道:“凯涅吉先生,你找我有什么事?”Actuallyhehas roughly guessed correctly.
其实他已经大致猜到了。„Thismatteris not anxious, happen to the lunchtime, Iordered the positioninThanbula, canchat while eating.”Carnegiesaidto the frontdriver: „Meri, drives.”
“这个事情不急,正好到了午餐时间,我在丹布拉尔预订了位置,可以边吃边谈。”凯涅吉对前面的司机说道:“梅里,开车。”Rennhad heardThanbulathisplace, one of the Longshandehighest levelrestaurants, foodtakesseveralgolden Shieldit is said that buthedoes not wantto receive the personkindnesswith no reason at all, thereforehurries saying: „Mr.Carnegie, I have had the lunch, ifyouhave the matter, nowcansay.”雷恩听说过丹布拉尔这个地方,隆杉德最顶级的餐馆之一,据说一顿饭就要几个金盾,但是他不想无缘无故受人恩惠,于是赶紧道:“凯涅吉先生,我已经吃过午饭了,如果你有事,现在就可以说了。”DriverawkwardthenlookstoCarnegie, „master?”
司机为难的回头看向凯涅吉,“老爷?”Carnegiesees the Rennattitudeto be very firm, hasto nod saying: „Good, do Ideliveryou a regulation, whereRennyoumustgo to?”凯涅吉见雷恩态度很坚决,只好点头道:“好吧,那我送你一程,雷恩你要去哪里?”Rennwantsto return to the apartment, buthedoes not wantto exposeoneselfaddress, thereforechose a placecasually, said: „Delivers tomydemonic soulmarket.”雷恩本来想回公寓的,但他不想暴露自己的住址,于是随便选了个地方,说道:“送到我魔魂市场吧。”„Goes to the demonic soulmarket.”Carnegiehintsto tell the driver, the automobileto startimmediately.
“去魔魂市场。”凯涅吉示意吩咐司机,汽车立即开动起来。
The demonic soulmarketleaves not far, quickwill achieve, therefore the Carnegiealsono longersmalltalk, saidowngoalhonestly: „Renn, my timelooks foryouspecially, wantsto inviteyouto join the steam and mechanicaltrade union, becomesMechanic.”魔魂市场离得不远,很快就会达到,所以凯涅吉也不再客套,坦诚的说出自己的目的:“雷恩,我这次特意来找你,是想邀请你加入蒸汽与机械工会,成为一名机械师。”
