When Duncan and Alice go to the graveyard together, Morris and Vanna have not been idling, they then arrived very early in the morning situated in Upper District south „residential help center”, to complete matter —— that Duncan explains 在邓肯与爱丽丝一同前往墓园的时候,莫里斯和凡娜也并没有闲着,他们一大早便来到了位于上城区南部的“市民帮助中心”,以完成邓肯交待的一件事情—— Seeks a stable and legitimate temporary lodging in Cold Frost City-State, if possible, the status that best 1-2 be able openly to make an appearance again. 在寒霜城邦寻求一个安定且合法的落脚处,如果可以的话,最好再有1-2可以公开露面的身份。 After all, they may move very long period of time in this City-State, cannot east hide XZ to live like these heretic. 毕竟,他们可能会在这座城邦中活动很长一段时间,总不能像那些邪教徒一样东躲XZ过日子。 Considering that Tyrian keeps the informers in city already no longer reliable, Morris then decided that oneself tried to find the solution. 考虑到提瑞安留在城里的线人们已经不再可靠,莫里斯便决定自己来想办法了。 The Cold Frost residential help center is a very big dome construction, side building that around a main body also two long extend, said that is the residential help center, in fact this building is also used to receive to enter the City-State visitor as well as undertakes the intermediary work of massive third party, from the house sale and rental registration, provides to the temporary pass, to the employment of short-time maid, gardener and washer, almost can complete in —— its long side building to crowd all kinds of registration windows and offices again here, in the huge dome construction is forever the noisy crowded hall, this point and Pland is different. 寒霜的市民帮助中心是一座很大的圆顶建筑,一座主体周围还有两道长长延伸出去的侧楼,说是市民帮助中心,实际上这座建筑也同时用于接待进入城邦的访客以及承担大量第三方的中介工作,从房屋租售登记,到临时通行证发放,再到短时女仆、园丁、洗衣工的雇佣,几乎都可以在这里完成——它那长长的侧楼里面塞满了各种各样的登记窗口和办公室,巨大的圆顶建筑里则是永远都吵吵闹闹人来人往的大厅,这一点和普兰德大不一样。 Enters that huge dome construction, the steam then heads on, the Cold Frost unique high-pressure heating installment scattered the cold air of winter, the bright electric lamp overhangs in the vault, making the entire building brilliantly illuminated. 一走进那巨大的圆顶建筑,热气便扑面而来,寒霜特有的高压供暖装置驱散了冬日的寒气,明亮的电灯则高高挂在穹顶上,让整座建筑物灯火通明。 Now here just opens shortly , many people had actually welled up, seeks the short-time duty or the residents of registration house sale and rental goes through between the innumerable window and counter, a babel of voices also mixes with „ka” sound that the air current delivery pipe is starting to send out unceasingly and „hissing” sound, but Vanna does not adapt to here environment some obviously, she avoids the surrounding stream of people cautiously, while is whispering to Morris low voice: „In Pland, the human resources and housing sale and rental counter will not place in a building.” 现在这里才刚刚开放没多久,却已经有很多人涌了进来,寻求短期工作或登记房屋租售的市民们穿行在数不清的窗口和柜台之间,人声鼎沸中间还夹杂着气流输送管不断启动所发出的“咔哒”声和“嘶嘶”声,而凡娜显然对这里的环境有些不适应,她一边小心翼翼地躲开周围的人流,一边小声对莫里斯嘀咕着:“在普兰德,人力资源和住房租售柜台可不会放在一座建筑物里。” „You must consider that to the cost of big project heating, as well as transforms the time that heat pump switching station requires to cost a time,” Morris shakes the head, „the most foundation urban facilities in this city are the Frost Queen time remain, but that magnificent age had passed by, big rebellion later Cold Frost City-State depended upon the Boiling Gold industry to restore past 70-80% vitalities reluctantly, the conduit system and that the steam power network but must the renovation queen leave behind from the beginning was not the simple matter.” “你要考虑到向大型建筑供暖的成本,以及改造一次热泵交换站需要耗费的时间,”莫里斯摇了摇头,“这座城市的大部分基础市政设施都是寒霜女王时代留下来的,但那个辉煌的年代已经过去了,大叛乱之后的寒霜城邦依靠沸金产业勉强恢复了当年七八成的元气,但要从头翻新女王留下的地下管道系统和蒸汽动力网络可不是简单的事情。” „Has that assembled with?” Vanna stared in a big way the eye immediately, „this was the antique half a century ago!” “那就这么一直凑合用着？”凡娜顿时瞪大了眼睛,“这可是半个世纪前的老古董了！” „Otherwise?” Morris sighed, „, on the one hand was the decline of city, on the one hand was the pressure of population, initially the sea cliff avalanche caused may the floor space reduce...... the facility half a century ago to use the present possibly truly is cramped, but the good and evil was reluctantly sufficient, since were sufficient, that continued with...... actually this , was not only the Cold Frost issue, was the established industrial City-State issue, vigor abundant the city like Pland was a few.” “不然呢？”莫里斯叹了口气,“一方面是城市的衰退,一方面是人口的压力,还有当初海崖崩塌导致的可居住面积缩减……半个世纪前的设施用到现在可能确实是局促了些,但好歹勉强够用,既然够用,那就继续用着……其实这不仅是寒霜的问题,也是很多老牌工业城邦的问题,像普兰德那样活力充沛的城市才是少数。” Vanna does not speak. 凡娜不说话了。 This is not she domain that is good at pondering. 这并不是她擅长思考的领域。 But in this speeches, Morris on that dazzling line diagram above the hall had found the transient population to register the position of counter, he puts on the crowd with tall Vanna, finally finally arrived in front of a quite quiet counter. 而在这说话间,莫里斯已经在大厅上方那令人眼花缭乱的线路导引图上找到了流动人口登记柜台的方位,他与身材高大的凡娜在人群中穿来穿去,最后终于来到了一处较为清静的柜台前面。 The long wooden counter by the wall placement, the middle was divided into several checks with the iron fence, behind each check sits expressions that on office clerks —— their face wears the gray-blue uniform/subdue are equally stereotypical on and their iron fences, moreover obviously planned such expression maintains stopping work for the day time. 长长的木质柜台靠墙安置,中间用铁栅栏分成了数个格子,每个格子后面都坐着一个身穿灰蓝色制服的办事人员——他们脸上的表情就跟他们身旁的铁栅栏一样呆板,而且显然打算把这样的表情维持到收工的时候。 „We need a residence permit, in addition must seek one to rent the house short,” Morris arrives before a check, on the iron chair that in makes noise sits down, said to inside that complexion wax yellow middle-aged person, „we just come ashore today.” “我们需要一份居住许可,另外还要寻一处短租房屋,”莫里斯来到其中一个格子前,在吱嘎作响的铁椅子上坐下,对里面那位脸色蜡黄的中年人说道,“我们今天刚刚上岸。” „Which wharf?” The complexion wax yellow middle age office worker lifts the eyelid, saw an opposite old man, when noticing the old man is also standing behind one meter nine madam, he obviously was startled, but the next second then restored the tone of being conscientious in discharging official duties, „wharf supporting document and going by boat bill show.” “哪个码头？”脸色蜡黄的中年办事员抬起眼皮,看了一眼对面的老头,在注意到老头身后还站着个一米九的女士时,他明显怔了一下,但下一秒便恢复了公事公办的语气,“码头证明文件和乘船票据出示一下。” Vanna knits the brows, looks down to Morris. 凡娜皱了皱眉,低头看向莫里斯。 The Morris complexion is usual, spreads out the hand confidently: „Lost, possibly is when leaves the wharf to lose, that ship has also left.” 莫里斯却面色如常,坦然摊开手:“丢了,可能是在离开码头的时候遗失的,那艘船也已经离开了。” The office worker in check stops matter on hand immediately, raising the head, the poker face has one is not quick: „That is not good, needs the supporting document, returns to the wharf to reissue.” 格子里的办事员立刻停下手头的事情,抬起头,扑克脸带着一丝不快:“那不行,必须要证明文件,回码头补办吧。” „But I have other thing,” Morris is saying, while pulled out pulling out in the bosom, fishes out a booklet good document and a pamphlet that have the dark-red seal hands over, „should be able to act as the legal identity proof.” “但我有别的东西,”莫里斯一边说着,一边在怀里掏了掏,摸出一张折好的文件和一个有着暗红色封皮的小本递过去,“应该可以充当合法身份证明。” The office workers are beckoning with the hand subconsciously: „Without the wharf supporting document is not good, other also......” 办事员下意识摆着手:“没有码头证明文件就不行,别的也……” He saw mark on that pamphlet, the following words have not then said, then he put out a hand to open that booklet good document, the vision has swept above. 他看到了那个小本上的标记,后面的话便没说下去,接着他又伸手打开了那张折好的文件,目光在上面扫过。 The playing cards expression changed instantaneously. 扑克牌般的表情瞬间变化了。 „Truth Academy and Boundless Sea navigation council issues academic passes through the permission, the holder may in all the City-State stay visit that gods shelter, during staying, the local City-State university automatic achievement guarantee unit of Truth Academy subordinate,” Morris is saying, referred to that red small book, „this is my document, the Truth Academy degrees and theology dual certificates, the official rank is a professor.” “真理学院与无垠海通航理事会下发的学术通行许可,持有人可在所有正神庇护的城邦停留访问,停留期间,真理学院下属的本地城邦大学自动作为担保单位,”莫里斯说着,又指了指那个红色的小本子,“这是我的证件,真理学院的学位和神学双重证书,职级是教授。” The complexion wax yellow middle age office worker delay a meeting, raised the head finally slowly, appears a little not handles: „Eh...... good morning, Professor Morris...... sees you very much happily, your status naturally is legitimate......” 脸色蜡黄的中年办事员呆滞了一会,终于慢慢抬起头,显得有点无措:“额……早上好,莫里斯教授……很高兴见到您,您的身份当然是合法的……” On the Morris face showed the relaxation expression. 莫里斯脸上露出了放松的表情。 But the office worker, as if intertwined very much, toughs it out was saying: „But...... I at least must know what you ride is which ship, this is...... the stipulation.” 但办事员紧接着顿了顿,仿佛很是纠结了一下,还是硬挺着说道:“可……我至少得知道您乘坐的是哪艘船,这是……规定。” The expression that Morris just relaxed seems a little awkward, nearby Vanna touched the tip of the nose, has turned the head calmly. 莫里斯刚放松下来的表情显得有点尴尬,一旁的凡娜则摸了摸鼻尖,不动声色地转过头去。 Morris sighed, looks that front that was a little obviously intense, but stared to look at the own middle age office worker. 莫里斯叹了口气,看着面前那位明显有点紧张,但还是直勾勾看着自己的中年办事员。 „You have known what I ride was which ship,” he is sighing saying that the eyeground glimmer flashed, „had the proof.” “你已经知道我乘坐的是哪艘船了,”他叹着气说道,眼底微光一闪,“开证明吧。” The office workers were startled, the eyeground as if had absent-minded flashing through, later lowers the head, starts the punching machine that operated that click to make noise, and punched card will invest counter nearby pressure piping vessel. 办事员怔了一下,眼底似乎有恍惚闪过,随后低下头,开始操作那台咔嗒作响的打孔机,并将打孔卡片投入柜台旁边的压力管道容器。 A moment later, in the fizz and ka the sound along with pipeline, was then returned to counter here from the card of some building deep place examination office feedback. 片刻之后,伴随着管道中的嘶嘶声和咔哒声,从建筑物深处某个审批办公室回传的卡片便被送回到了柜台这里。 The office workers will hit Konkka to force in the small machine that the read uses, confirmed the serial number and forgery-proof password of receipt, this starts the content that fills in the supporting document to need, simultaneously did not lift is saying: „Here can only open supporting document —— you to bring the supporting document to go to the west side building, looks for the A-12 window, should have there rents the house that conforms to you to request short.” 办事员将打孔卡塞进读取用的小机器,确认了回执的编号和防伪密码,这才开始填写证明文件所需的内容,同时头也不抬地说着:“我这里只能开证明文件——您要带着证明文件去西侧楼,找A-12窗口,在那里应该有符合您要求的短租房屋。” „Thanks,” Morris received the good document, whispered in a soft voice, „was sorry.” “谢谢,”莫里斯接过开好的文件,顿了顿又轻声嘀咕了一声,“抱歉。” Then, he then left the counter with Vanna quickly, walks toward the next window. 说完,他便和凡娜赶快离开了柜台,向着下一个窗口走去。 „This is I first time does this matter,” just got out of the way shortly , the venerable then could not bear lower the sound saying that „I was planned depended upon the normal document workflow to handle this matter......” “这是我头一次做这种事,”刚走开没多久,老先生便忍不住压低声音说着,“我本是打算依靠正常的文件流程搞定这事的……” „We ride one not to accommodate in world Ghost Ship, but , you know that the normal flow could not solve this problem forever,” Vanna is saying similarly low voice, in the tone as if has some happy expressions, „very special period, unusual means.” “我们乘着一艘不容于世的幽灵船而至,您知道的,正常流程永远解决不了这个问题,”凡娜同样小声说着,语气中似乎带着些笑意,“非常时期,非常办法。” „...... You thought that Mr. Duncan to the possibility that Vanished does manage a legitimate certificate of registry big?” “……你觉得邓肯先生给失乡号办一张合法船舶登记证书的可能性有多大？” „Do you feel?” “您觉得呢？” „...... Good,” Morris sighed, in looked to begin the supporting document, „Heidi do not know this matter —— will meet this situation next time again, I rather first made a false passage ticket.” “……好吧,”莫里斯叹了口气,看着手里的证明文件,“海蒂可别知道这件事——下次再遇上这种情况,我宁可先造一张假船票。” The Vanna faint smile looks at Morris that heaved a sigh, from infancy to maturity, she also the first time was really in this always by „rigorous doing scholarly research, abided by rule” on the senior scholar face saw the expression that like this worried, as if...... was very interesting. 凡娜似笑非笑地看着唉声叹气的莫里斯,从小到大,她还真是第一次在这位一向以“严谨治学,恪守规则”的老学者脸上看到这样发愁的表情,似乎……还挺有趣的。 ...... …… At the same time, just finished the scene investigating, but also without returned to Cathedral Agatha then to receive the subordinate the urgent message that sent with enough time from No. 3 graveyard on the halfway. 同一时间,刚刚结束现场勘查,还没来得及返回大教堂的阿加莎在半路上便接到了部下从三号墓园送来的紧急情报。 Sits in the steam motor car, Agatha looks that was just delivered to the correspondence on oneself, the look gradually a little delay. 坐在蒸汽车内,阿加莎看着刚刚被送到自己手上的信函,眼神渐渐有点呆滞。 Report —— from that indescribable visit. 一封举报信——来自那位不可名状的造访者。 The oneself front leg just walked, back leg letter/believes was delivered to the graveyard. 自己前脚刚走,后脚这封信就被送到了墓园里。 Is missing of this/should feeling this mistake arising out of chance circumstances, is this/should feeling that „visit” strange action? 是该感慨这阴差阳错的错过,还是该感慨那位“造访者”奇异的举动？ She received the correspondence, in the mind was calculating fast. 她收起了信函,脑海中飞快地盘算着。 In where heart does not proliferate, the matter appears is suddenly urgent. 不安在心中扩散,有一件事突然显得紧急起来。 „Shifts, goes to Donggang.” “转向,去东港。” The subordinate who drives in front is somewhat surprised: „Don't we first go to Cathedral?” 在前面开车的部下有些惊讶:“我们不先去大教堂吗？” „Plan changes, first goes to Donggang,” Agatha said categorically, „I have not the good premonition...... to have anything possibly to seize the chance to land.” “计划改变,先去东港,”阿加莎斩钉截铁地说道,“我有不好的预感……有什么东西可能想趁机登陆。” Being confused that the subordinate of driving listens, but the instinct of command prompt made him depress in the heart to have doubts rapidly. 开车的部下听的一头雾水,但服从命令的本能让他迅速压下了心中疑惑。 The jet black steam motor car decelerates in the next crossroad, shifts, later speeds away to go toward the City-State eastern harbor area. 漆黑的蒸汽车在下一个路口减速,转向,随后向着城邦东部的港口区疾驰而去。
