The Sea Mist fleet came, turns out in full strength. 海雾舰队来了,倾巢出动。 In the past entire half a century, this famous curse fleet always hung sharp blade —— in Cold Frost person top of the head it is the Frost Queen heritage, after was half a century ago that big rebellion , the shadow that will never dissipate, it such as ten thousand ancient measure of length icebergs stood and waited for a long time on Cold Sea, in the cold hard outer covering hid pirate general that mind that as deep as a well is not dying. 在过去的整整半个世纪里,这支鼎鼎大名的诅咒舰队都始终是悬在寒霜人头顶上的一柄利刃——它是寒霜女王的遗产,是半世纪前那场大叛乱之后永不消散的阴影,它如万仞冰山般伫立在冷冽海上,寒冷坚硬的外壳内隐藏着不死的海盗将军那令人难以捉摸的心智。 Whenever raised its time, the Cold Frost City-State person will unable to bear lower the sound. 每当提起它的时候,寒霜城邦的人都会忍不住压低声音。 The people of almost every understanding history know, the Cold Frost rebellion half a century ago can be successful, the motley crew gathers the counter- rebel army that becomes to defeat in history the most powerful queen fleet, dependence actually at all is not „justice” and „blessing” —— they wins, the most important reason was the queen strongest main fleet at that time at all not in the Cold Frost main island. 几乎每一个了解历史的人都知道,半世纪前的寒霜叛乱之所以能够成功,乌合之众聚集而成的反叛军之所以能战胜有史以来最强大的女王舰队,依靠的其实根本不是什么“正义”和“庇佑”——他们之所以胜利,最重要的原因就是女王最强的主力舰队当时根本不在寒霜本岛。 No one knows why the Sea Mist fleet can leave initially, like no one knows that past Frost Queen understood from the deep sea what truth, people only know matter —— until now, that fleet still in the name action of by queen. 没有人知道为什么当初海雾舰队会离开,就像没有人知道当年的寒霜女王到底从深海中了解到了什么真相,人们只知道一件事——时至今日,那支舰队仍在以女王的名义行动。 For half a century, the powerful Sea Mist fleet paces back and forth on such as Ghost Spirit in this north sea area generally, has City-State to attempt to exterminate or regain this fleet, but they never succeed, on the other hand since, although the curse battleship of Undead control runs amuck Cold Sea, but in only needs to pay the wealth with the ships that they encounter to be able most of the time to avoid the disaster, compares in makes war directly the caused loss with the Sea Mist fleet, this „safe passage money” is more like benevolent and cost-effective tax money —— northern various City-State rather buys safe and secure, from not running risks to repay that debt half a century ago for the Cold Frost person. 半个世纪以来,强大的海雾舰队就如幽灵一般徘徊在这片北方海域,不是没有城邦尝试剿灭或收复这支舰队,可他们从未成功,而从另一方面,虽然不死人驾驭的诅咒战舰横行冷冽海,但在大多数时候与他们遭遇的船只都只需要缴纳钱财便可免除灾祸,相较于跟海雾舰队正面开战所导致的损失,这点“买路钱”更像是一笔仁慈又划算的税款——北方诸城邦宁愿花钱买平安,也不会自冒风险去替寒霜人偿还那半个世纪前的债务。 But Cold Frost person oneself knows, the Sea Mist fleet will come back one day, this like the curse, even has become „legend prediction that” many Cold Frost people are influenced by what one sees and hears from infancy to maturity —— 但寒霜人自己知道,海雾舰队总有一天会回来的,这就像个诅咒,甚至已经成为许多寒霜人从小到大耳濡目染的“传说预言”—— So long as the flag of Sea Mist fleet is still fluttering, the rule of Frost Queen to this City-State had not finished, so long as the Sea Mist engine is still rotating, half a century ago the settlement of that big rebellion will arrive at this city sooner or later. 只要海雾舰队的旗帜还在飘扬,寒霜女王对这座城邦的统治就没有结束,只要海雾号的引擎还在转动,半世纪前那场大叛乱的清算就迟早会降临这座城市。 The curses and legend hand down the brought influence are profound, the ice-cold shadow of Sea Mist fleet then holds in this year after year legend in addition unceasingly becomes even more fearful, even if the well-trained career military, is unable to neglect this pressure. 诅咒与传说口口相传所带来的影响是深远的,海雾舰队的冰冷阴影便在这年复一年的传说加持下不断变得愈加可怕,哪怕是训练有素的职业军人,也无法忽视这份压力。 Lister grabs the finger of document to make an effort slightly, joint a little flood white. 李斯特抓着文件的手指微微用力,关节都有点泛白。 As his voice falls, a strange difficult word peaceful covered the entire wharf. 而随着他话音落下,一种诡异难言的安静更是笼罩了整个码头。 This defense commander knows, the information of related Sea Mist fleet does not need to keep secret —— that huge fleet to navigate naturally by Cold Frost, moreover is still approaching the Cold Frost main island and Dagger Island to the present unceasingly, tomorrow most arrives late Sun will raise, lives in coastline nearby resident only needs to open the window, takes up the telescope to look at one in the South-East direction, can see that these dim ship shadow —— this news will spread over entire City-State quickly. 这位防务指挥官知道,有关海雾舰队的情报不需要保密——那支庞大的舰队就大大方方航行在寒霜旁边,而且到现在还在不断靠近寒霜本岛和匕首岛,最晚到明天太阳升起的时候,住在海岸线附近的居民只需要推开窗户,拿起望远镜朝东南方向看一眼,就能看到那些朦朦胧胧的舰影——这个消息很快就会传遍整个城邦了。 „The Sea Mist fleet...... the Sea Mist fleet suddenly appears, can on the matter with Dagger Island be related?” A trusted subordinate military officer said, „can be related with that sudden Haiyan?” “海雾舰队……海雾舰队突然出现,会和匕首岛上的事情有关么？”一名亲信军官说道,“会和那艘突然出现的‘海燕号’有关么？” „My they are rather related, like this we only need to face a difficult problem at least,” Lister clenches teeth, „, but worse possibly is, this is two troublesome......” “我宁愿它们有关,这样我们起码只需要面对一个难题,”李斯特咬了咬牙,“但更糟糕的可能是,这是两个麻烦……” Another trusted subordinate military officer tone is somewhat intense: „Can the Sea Mist fleet take advantage of fire plunder? While the Cold Frost main island is under the unknown strength threat time......” 另一名亲信军官语气有些紧张:“海雾舰队会趁火打劫？趁着寒霜本岛受到未知力量威胁的时候……” „Now under anything judges too early, execute the order is the first important matter,” Lister broke indulging in flights of fancy of subordinates, the language fast said quickly, „immediately arranged blockade, to peripheral the ships on City-State and route sent out the martial law signal, the coastal defense artillery position awaits orders...... we greatly to be troublesome completely.” “现在下什么判断都为时过早,执行命令是第一要务,”李斯特打断了部下们的胡思乱想,语速很快地说道,“立即安排封锁事宜,向周边城邦和航线上的船舶发出戒严信号,岸防炮阵地全部待命……我们可能有大麻烦了。” ...... …… The Cold Frost City-State center, such as most marine City-State layouts are the same, Cathedral that stands tall and erect dignified stands and waits for a long time in City-State the topography in the place that highest, position most comes between. 寒霜城邦腹地,就如绝大多数海上城邦的布局一样,那庄严高耸的大教堂就伫立在城邦中地势最高、位置最居中的地方。 The natives take it as silent Grand Cathedral, or called it „Cathedral” directly. 当地人把它称作寂静大圣堂,或直接叫它“大教堂”。 It is an ancient and dignified construction, is almost built all over the body completely by various gray-black brick bats, all kinds of steeples and slender constructions combined its main body, in day that whenever the winter heavy snow fluttered, these steeples seemed dim under the background of sky floating snow, tombstone and black sharp sword direction that sky if then in the fog stood in great numbers. 它是一座古老而威严的建筑,通体几乎全部由各种灰黑色砖块砌成,各式各样的尖塔和修长建筑组合成了它的本体,每当冬日大雪飘飞的日子里,这些层层迭迭的尖塔在天空飘雪的背景下显得朦朦胧胧,便如雾中林立的墓碑和黑色利剑般指向天空。 Has beginning the Cold Frost City-State people from other place see this church, they meet frequently first felt that this church is gloomy depressing, even thought that it is somewhat fearful, but believes the God of Death Bartok Cold Frost person regarding almost all the people, this black Cathedral actually dignity and Saint. 有初来寒霜城邦的外地人见到这座教堂,他们常常会第一时间感觉这教堂过于阴森压抑,甚至觉得它有些可怕,但对于几乎全民信仰死亡之神巴托克的寒霜人而言,这座黑色大教堂却只有威严和圣性。 The natives believe the steeple that church these stand in great numbers was communicates the death domain and mortal world bridge, the day when the heavy snow fluttered about arrived, the God of Death envoys will then hide between the steeple and roof that these stood in great numbers, understood clearly the eye of myriad things to gaze at City-State with them, received and instructed Undead that these lost for various reasons pace back and forth to return to the resting place promptly. 当地人坚信教堂那些林立的尖塔是沟通死亡领域和尘世的桥梁,而当大雪纷飞的日子到来,死亡之神的使者们便会隐藏在那些林立的尖塔和屋顶之间,用他们洞悉万物的眼睛注视城邦,及时接引那些因各种原因迷失徘徊的亡灵返回安息处。 Therefore the Cold Frost person regards as „day of wrong path for a long time ghost starting off” the 1st day that the heavy snow fluttered about, they will close the graveyard on this day, suspended to the delivering spirit of new dead, for has lost for a long time ghost to keep the enough spacious path to these, letting them to go to silent Grand Cathedral promptly. 因此寒霜人又将大雪纷飞的第一日视作“迷途已久的亡魂上路的日子”,他们会在这一天关闭墓园,暂停对新死者的送灵,为的就是给那些已经迷失已久的亡魂留出足够宽敞的道路,让他们能及时前往寂静大圣堂。 Today is the day that the heavy snow flutters about. 今天就是大雪纷飞的日子。 The peripheral graveyard was closed, Cathedral also no longer accepted the average person difference excluding clergy, the quadrangle footpath that the snowflake fell gently unceasingly appears any time in the past is more peaceful, besides treadonning the voice of snowy area, even the snowflake the sound that dropped from the treetop hears to be especially clear. 周边的墓园关闭了,大教堂也不再接受除神职人员之外的普通人出入,雪花不断飘落的中庭步道显得比以往任何时候都要安静,以至于除了脚踏雪地的声音之外,连雪花从树梢落下的声响都听得格外清楚。 Wears the quadrangle front door of Agatha of stetson and black clothes across church, after entering the having an audience with long hall, walks toward the deep place, finally arrives in ponder sacred hall that the bishop was. 头戴宽边帽、一袭黑衣的阿加莎穿过教堂内的中庭大门,进入觐见长厅之后又向深处走去,最终抵达了主教所在的冥思圣堂。 Just like Pland, Cold Frost highest Church spokesman also two —— „Gatekeeper” is the vindicator of City-State security, is mainly responsible for the secular business, Bishop City-State is mainly responsible for the clerical job, as well as is responsible for with the communication of upper-level theocracy strength. 和普兰德一样,寒霜的最高教会代言人也有两位——“守门人”是城邦安全的维护者,主要负责世俗事务,城邦主教则主要负责文职工作,以及负责和上层神权力量的沟通。 Ponders in sacred hall, on the both sides wall in the niche of intense arrangement the candlelight drags, the pale ray that the innumerable lamp candles send out makes in the room quite bright, the sacred hall end is a high stone platform, however in that stage actually does not see the sacred image or the seat, is only placing an outward appearance plain black coffin. 冥思圣堂内,两侧墙壁上密集排列的壁龛中烛火摇曳,无数灯烛散发出的苍白光芒让房间里颇为明亮,圣堂尽头则是一座高高的石台,然而那高台上却不见圣像或座椅,只摆放着一口外观古朴的黑色棺木。 That is Bishop City-State the place. 那就是城邦主教所处的地方。 Agatha takes a step to arrive in the stage, looked down one, said: „I came back.” 阿加莎迈步来到高台上,低头看了一眼,开口说道:“我回来了。” In the coffin is silent. 棺木中寂静无声。 Agatha waited patiently for several seconds, the sound enhances some: „Bishop Ivan, you heard news that the Sea Mist fleet presents?” 阿加莎耐心等了几秒钟,声音又提高一些:“伊凡主教,你听说海雾舰队出现的消息了吗？” In the coffin does not have the sound. 棺材里还是没有动静。 Agatha knits the brows, raised the head to have a look at all around, after hesitating slightly, finally lifts the cane, is striking by the coffin: „In?” 阿加莎皱了皱眉,抬起头看看四周,略微犹豫之后终于抬起手杖,在棺材旁边敲打着:“在吗？” Knocked continuously three times, finally the hoarse old sounds passed from the coffin: „In, do not knock, respects the old person.” 连续敲了三次,终于有一个沙哑苍老的声音从棺材里传了出来:“在,别敲了,尊重一下老人。” Agatha receives the cane: „...... You, when prayed to the God of Death ponder fell asleep?” 阿加莎收起手杖:“……你在向死亡之神冥思祝祷的时候睡着了？” „I ponder invest, has not heard the sound from mortal world.” “我冥思过于投入,没有听到来自尘世的声音。” „But your snoring sound can actually spread to mortal world by the coffin board.” “但你的呼噜声却能透过棺材板传入尘世。” „? Then big sound?” “啊？那么大动静？” Agatha sighed: „you really fell asleep, Bishop.” 阿加莎叹了口气:“伱果然睡着了,主教。” The sound in coffin is all of a sudden peaceful, several seconds later, the slight fricatives will break silent, that dark coffin covered to slide slightly a point to side, but also only leaked off a slit, that old hoarse sound also appeared a point clearly: „Your heart is very chaotic, Agatha, the situation in City-State is not it seems like wonderful.” 棺材里的声音一下子安静下来,过了几秒钟,才有一阵轻微的摩擦声打破沉默,那黑沉沉的棺盖稍微向旁边滑开了一点,但也只漏出一道缝隙,那个苍老沙哑的声音随之显得清晰了一点:“你的心很乱,阿加莎,看来城邦里的情况不妙。” „I on returning to the Cathedral road received the Sea Mist fleet close to the City-State news,” Agatha said slowly, „this news can perhaps quickly......” “我在返回大教堂的路上收到了海雾舰队靠近城邦的消息,”阿加莎慢慢说道,“这个消息恐怕很快就会……” „The matter of Sea Mist fleet should give the navies and city hall that group of people have a headache, what you pay attention is the peace of balance of transcendent domain in City-State,” Cold Frost Bishop City-State, Ivan Romont Szo's voice conveys from the coffin, „first said the situation in City-State.” “海雾舰队的事情应该交给海军和市政厅那帮人头疼,你关注的是超凡领域的平衡和城邦内的安宁,”寒霜城邦主教,伊凡・罗蒙索的声音从棺材里传来,“先说城邦内的情况吧。” Agatha hears word nods, for the time being places the one side the news of Sea Mist fleet, later kept a serious look. 阿加莎闻言点了点头,暂且将海雾舰队的消息放在一旁,随后表情严肃起来。 „Fireplace avenue 42 nd presented new by ‚element’ pollution, according to all sorts of signs judged, ‚’ the sham comprised of element lived very long period of time in that building, until broke up to vanish a short time ago, in addition, the scene also discovered civilians who obviously is intervened by cognition......” “壁炉大街42号出现了新的一处被‘原素’污染的现场,根据种种迹象判断,有一个由‘原素’组成的赝品在那栋建筑物中生活了很长一段时间,直到前不久才崩解消失,此外,现场还发现一位明显遭到认知干扰的平民……” „Cognitive disturbance?” Bishop Ivan broke narration of Agatha, „what cognitive disturbance?” “认知干扰？”伊凡主教打断了阿加莎的讲述,“什么样的认知干扰？” Agatha organized a language, opens the mouth saying: „After pulling and reading the national register material of local block, we discovered that sham ‚regular script’ actually six years ago had passed away because of the perils of the sea, but the fact is, when the sham moves...... that never discovers the place of this obvious abnormal with the female apprentice of it life together, even vanishes until the sham disintegration, the investigators enter the scene, she also thinks that her teacher rests in the building.” 阿加莎组织了一下语言,开口道:“在调阅了当地街区的人口登记资料之后,我们发现那个赝品的‘正体’其实六年前就已因海难去世了,但事实是,在赝品活动期间……那位与其一同生活的女学徒始终不曾发现这明显的异常之处,甚至直到赝品崩解消失,调查人员进入现场,她还认为她的老师就在楼上休息。” Agatha speaking of this, continues to open the mouth: „Moreover...... our discoveries continue these.” 阿加莎说到这顿了顿,又继续开口:“而且……我们的发现不止这些。” „Continues these?” “不止这些？” „Third party strength —— is unidentified, but the strength is extremely strong, they seem also investigating the element the matter. In them the combatants struck to kill two talented heresy Priest in nearby alley, his investigators the squad that before elite Guardian composed arrived then the one who searched that building —— to be regrettable, our anything clue had not found, even is unable to confirm that this third party strength came from where.” “一股第三方力量——身份不明,但实力极强,他们似乎也在调查原素的事情。他们中的战斗人员在附近的小巷中击杀了两名实力不俗的异端神官,其调查人员则在精锐守卫者组成的小队抵达之前便搜索了那栋建筑——遗憾的是,我们什么线索都没找到,甚至无法确认这股第三方力量来自何处。” In the coffin is silent, how long continued not to know peacefully, Ivan's voice resounded again: „Other news?” 棺材中沉默下来,安静持续了不知多久,伊凡的声音才再度响起:“还有别的消息吗？” „Has,” Agatha inspires gently, „you still remember that in No. 3 graveyard presents ‚visit’?” “有,”阿加莎轻轻吸了口气,“你还记得三号墓园中出现的那位‘造访者’吗？” „...... Did It appear?!” “……祂又出现了？！” „Yes, appeared, moreover appeared incessantly, It also leaves behind one...... ‚report’.” “是的,又出现了,而且不止出现了,祂还留下一封……‘举报信’。”
