After at nightfall, the flurry fluttered underground, dim such as in the dim light of night background of fog, World Creation chilly brilliance by cloud covering most, only then several chaos glow filled the air in the slits of cloud layer, there is a gas light grading of streets and lanes to shine, shines snowflake that in the midair these are fluttering, appeared a quiet atmosphere that was different from Pland. 入夜之后,小雪又飘飘扬扬地下了起来,朦胧如雾的夜色背景中,世界之创清冷的光辉被云层遮挡大半,只有几片混沌辉光在云层的缝隙间弥漫出来,又有街头巷尾的瓦斯灯光次第亮起,映照着半空中那些飘扬的雪花,显现出一种有别于普兰德的静谧氛围。 Vanna stands before the narrow window, will look outside night scene slightly to send one to stay, sighs: „I thought that they have not definitely hit funds ——, moreover this time should convene one group of experts decode you to keep in the letter/believes ‚the secret number’.” 凡娜站在窄窗前,望着外面的夜景发了一小会呆,叹了口气:“我觉得他们肯定没打款——而且这时候应该已经召集起一帮专家去破解您留在信里的‘秘数’了。” Duncan has turned the head: „As for is so exaggerating?” 邓肯转过头:“至于这么夸张吗？” Vanna has turned head, a face looks at the oneself present interim boss earnestly: „...... Do you have in the letter/believes wrote plainly that skewer of numbers are to do?” 凡娜扭过头,一脸认真地看着自己现在的临时老板:“……您有没有在信里写明那串数字是干什么的？” „Has not written, but isn't this standard format of report?” Duncan is righteous, „end of report the direct enclosed account number on the line, the city hall will hit the funds, the Pland that side is this. Moreover I heard that many places will deliberately not write the note in front of the account number, contain tactful —— I to feel me should tactful.” “没写啊,但这不是举报信的标准格式吗？”邓肯理直气壮,“举报信末尾直接附上账号就行,市政厅会打款,普兰德那边是这样的。而且我听说很多地方会刻意不在账号前面多写备注,以示含蓄委婉——我觉得我是应该委婉一点。” Vanna decides looks at Duncan, crossed for a long time, cannot bear sigh: „Oh......” 凡娜定定地看着邓肯,过了许久,又忍不住叹了口气:“唉……” Duncan thinks, actually speaking of this many also had the B number at heart, in the tone are for many several points to be awkward: „To them is not quite probably good to understand?” 邓肯想了想,其实说到这心里多少也有了点B数,语气中便不由多出几分尴尬来:“对他们而言好像是不太好理解？” In the Vanna tone brings exhaustedly: „You can understand well.” 凡娜语气中带着疲惫:“您能明白过来就好。” Duncan lowers the head, thinks carefully: „...... The present turn head writes the second letter/believes is not quite good?” 邓肯低下头,仔细想了想:“……现在回头写第二封信是不是不太好？” „You...... place hopes in them to understand that report as soon as possible the intention.” Vanna cannot bear rub the forehead, she thought that oneself discovered once again the Captain Duncan unexpected place, this powerful and fearful Captain...... also did have the so obvious and interesting individuality? “您……还是寄希望于他们能尽快理解那封举报信的用意吧。”凡娜忍不住揉着眉心,她觉得自己又一次发现了邓肯船长出人意料的地方,这位强大而又可怕的船长……原来也有如此鲜明而有趣的个性？ Duncan has not cared about in the Vanna heart to sigh with emotion anything, but seemingly asked one unknowingly: „Today you deliver Annie to go back, in her family/home good?” 邓肯则没有在意凡娜心中感慨些什么,只是貌似不经意地问了一句:“今天你送安妮回去的,她家里都还好吗？” Vanna nods immediately: „In Annie all normal, not by the trace that transcendent Vision corrodes, the nearby had not discovered that the Annihilationists trace, the peripheral inhabitant does not have the suspicious person, Mrs. Beyrot...... is also our present landlord women, seeming like is also......” 凡娜立刻点点头:“安妮家中一切正常,并无被超凡异象侵蚀的痕迹,附近也未发现湮灭教徒的踪影,周边住户没有可疑人物,贝罗妮太太……也就是我们现在的房东女士,看起来也是个……” „Stops stops from time to time,” Duncan did not wait for the opposite party saying that then hurried to beckon with the hand, „I was asking in your her family/home the situation, the current life style, has not let you according to the flow report of investigation heresy, the occupational disease controlled.” “停停停,”邓肯不等对方说完便赶紧摆摆手,“我是问你她家里情况,生活现状,没让你照着调查异端的流程汇报,职业病控制一下。” Vanna is startled, immediately responded, did cough two: „ cough, sorry, I...... the occupation was a little used. That side all are good, although I stayed the moment, talked several with Ms. Beyrot, but can roughly judge, after all six years have passed by, their mother and daughter had come out of the past shadow. 凡娜一怔,顿时反应过来,干咳两声:“咳,抱歉,我有点……职业习惯了。那边一切都好,虽然我只是停留了片刻,和贝罗妮女士交谈了几句,但能大致判断出来,毕竟已经六年过去,她们母女都已经走出了当年的阴影。 „Now Annie studies in the City-State public school, Ms. Beyrot besides rented house income generation , the work in some copy clerk support the family sufficiently, moreover they after all is a Captain family member, the Cold Frost authority also has the attendance to such surviving family of deceased, this point is like other City-State. As a whole...... does not need to be worried about their situations.” “现在安妮在城邦公立学校读书,贝罗妮女士除了出租房屋赚取收入之外,也有一些文书方面的工作足以养家,而且她们毕竟是一位船长的家人,寒霜当局对这样的遗属也是有照顾的,这一点和其他城邦一样。总体上……不必担心她们的情况。” Duncan is listening silently, nods. 邓肯默默听着,点了点头。 Vanna hesitant, finally cannot bear ask: „You did not mind that Annie did say...... this here matter really? Perhaps before long, that graveyard guard knows you live in the city naturally, later this matter will be reported Cathedral immediately, Gatekeeper and bishop is alarmed.” 凡娜则犹豫了一下,最后还是忍不住问道:“您不介意安妮把这里的事情说出去……这样真的好吗？或许过不了多久,那位墓园看守就会知道您就这么大大方方地住在城里,随后这件事会被立即上报大教堂,守门人和主教都会被惊动。” „Then?” Duncan has turned the head, the voice asked calmly. “然后呢？”邓肯转过头,嗓音平静地问道。 „...... How many somewhat will be then troublesome?” Vanna is saying, but under the gaze of Duncan, her tone is a little not suddenly self-confident, „the intervention of City-State authority may......” “然后……多少会有些麻烦？”凡娜说着,但在邓肯的注视下,她的语气突然有点不自信,“城邦当局的干预或许会……” „How will they intervene us? Will send one team of Guardian to make an arrest?” Duncan smiled, „will be acted to chat with me by that Gatekeeper? As for me, what will also care about their? Is was worried that the whereabouts does expose? Is worried about the hostility of authority?” “他们会如何干预我们呢？会派一队守卫者来抓人吗？”邓肯笑了起来,“还是会由那位守门人出面来跟我谈谈？至于我,又会在意他们什么呢？是担心行踪暴露？还是担心当局的敌对行动？” Duncan is saying, shrugged. 邓肯说着,摊了摊手。 „I have not opened Vanished.” “我又没把失乡号开过来。” Vanna opens mouth, she always thought that probably which this matter has is not right, but has not thought how obstinately should deal with a Captain this confident big crosstalk, suppressed for quite a while only to emit one: „How I felt that you actually thought this may have the pleasure?” 凡娜张了张嘴,她总觉得这件事好像有哪不对,但愣是没想到该怎么应对船长这坦然的一大串话,憋了半天只能冒出一句:“我怎么感觉您其实只是觉得这样可能会有乐子？” „Right.” “对。” Vanna: „......” 凡娜:“……” Duncan smiles, will focus on the dim light of night of out of the window, he has not cared about the expression that this Miss Inquisitor the face last flash is splendid, but after was appreciating several minutes of night scene silently suddenly spoke thoughtlessly saying: „Vanna, how I suddenly thought that you did not seem like Inquisitor the —— normal condition to raise some City-State Church and authority more and more, your should first counter- be the reliable ally?” 邓肯笑了笑,重新将视线放在了窗外的夜色中,他没有在意身旁这位审判官小姐脸上一瞬间精彩起来的表情,只是在默默欣赏了几分钟夜景之后才突然随口说道:“凡娜,我怎么突然觉得伱越来越不像是个审判官了——正常情况提起某个城邦的教会和当局,你的第一反应不应该是可靠的盟友么？” The Vanna corners of the mouth obviously shook, in the heart as if surged the countless words, finally a character has not actually jumped. 凡娜嘴角明显抖了一下,心中仿佛涌起了千言万语,最后却一个字都没蹦出来。 At the same time, outside Cold Frost City-State, on curtain of night boundless Boundless Sea, a huge fleet is decelerating slowly, and is maintaining the low speed cruise between the cold the floating ice of pogonip and encirclement. 同一时间,寒霜城邦外,夜幕苍茫的无垠海上,一支庞大的舰队正在缓缓减速,并在寒冷的冻雾和环绕的浮冰间维持着低速巡航。 The Sea Mist dignified steel bow is towering in the darkness, the splendor that the pharo makes from one side shone its corner/horn sparklingly, the nearby also had the light that sprinkled from the ship body to illuminate the dark sea level, in the sea level clear wave light, visibled faintly weak reflection fluctuating. 海雾号威严的钢铁舰首在黑暗中耸立着,航标灯从侧面打出的辉光映亮了它的一角,附近又有从舰身一侧洒下的灯光照亮了黑沉沉的海面,在海面的粼粼波光间,隐约可见有微弱的反光起伏。 That is floating ice in broken bits. 那是细碎的浮冰。 On this Cold Sea, all Captain have heard such a few words —— 在这冷冽海上,所有所有船长都听说过这样的一句话—— When the mist suddenly appears, the floating ice appears from the fog, and like the shackles gradually your ship imprisonment, that then prepares, Sea Mist came. 当薄雾突然出现,浮冰自雾中显现,并如枷锁般逐渐将你的船禁锢,那便准备好吧,海雾号来了。 Sea Mist comes now, the entire Sea Mist fleet came. 海雾号现在来了,整支海雾舰队都来了。 Tyrian stands on the high bridge, is looking into the distance by the broad window. 提瑞安站在高高的舰桥上,透过宽阔的窗口眺望着远方。 In the current this distance is actually not able to see Cold Frost City-State —— directly but in the dark background, he can still notice that a glimmer appears there, that is the City-State direction. 在当前这个距离其实是无法直接看到寒霜城邦的——但在黑暗的背景中,他仍能看到一点微光浮现在那里,那就是城邦的方向。 The Sea Mist fleet actually goes toward Dagger Island, Tyrian oneself have not landed plan —— of Cold Frost main island intensely but regarding half a century of Cold Frost person, all these have not distinguished, so long as „Steel General” the flag appears in the nearby sea level, then enough they have slept on pins and needles. 海雾舰队其实是朝着匕首岛去的,提瑞安本人也没有丝毫登陆寒霜本岛的打算——但对于已经紧张了半个世纪的寒霜人而言,这一切并没区别,只要“钢铁中将”的旗帜出现在附近海面上,便已经足够他们寝食难安了。 He almost can imagine that City-State garrison troops being thrown into confusion scene. 他几乎能想象到那座城邦的守军此刻一片手忙脚乱的景象。 The sound of footsteps transmits from side, first mate Eden arrives at side Tyrian, this appearance rough bald robust man looks quite happy: „Captain, the sea crow number and fjord number have led the respective escort ship to leave the ranks, it is expected that after 12 hours, arrived in the pre-calculated position and closes off the route, Sea Mist this ship has relieved blackout —— that to help the Cold Frost person a whole evening not want to rest to be good today to think.” 脚步声从旁边传来,大副艾登来到提瑞安身旁,这位面貌粗犷的光头壮汉看上去颇为愉快:“船长,海乌鸦号和峡湾号已经带领各自护卫舰离队,预计十二小时后抵达预定位置并封锁航路,海雾号本舰已经解除灯火管制——那帮寒霜人今天一整晚都别想睡个好觉了。” Tyrian nods, on the face has happy expression slightly, the vision to sweep the Sea Mist surrounding sea level. 提瑞安点了点头,脸上带着微微的笑意,目光扫过海雾号周围的海面。 In the darkness, entire Boundless Sea is maintaining silent, only has to relieve the Sea Mist float of blackout here, imitates, if the gas lamp in dark night is striking. 黑暗中,整个无垠海维持着缄默,唯有解除灯火管制的海雾号漂浮在这里,仿若暗夜中的瓦斯灯般醒目。 Normally, carries out the military task the night flight battleship to conduct the blackout, the unnecessary illumination can expose the position, is easy to cause the friend side recognition light signal time appeared to confuse —— but Sea Mist is suspended oneself naturally, as if the provocation is showing own to exist to Cold Frost generally. 正常情况下,执行军事任务的夜航战舰都是要进行灯火管制的,不必要的照明会暴露自身位置,也容易导致友方识别灯光信号的时候出现混淆——但海雾号就是这么大大方方地把自己摆了出来,仿佛挑衅一般在向寒霜彰显着自己的存在。 Tyrian was not worried that this will stimulate to the Cold Frost City-State navy, was not worried that so-called sparking a conflict accidentally appears. 提瑞安丝毫不担心这会刺激到寒霜的城邦海军,更不担心所谓的擦枪走火事件出现。 In this world, besides Vanished, no one can in the night fighting defeats Sea Mist this „living ship”, but from, on the other hand......, if the Cold Frost navy really stupid to initiates an attack today, hidden also teaches them to cultivate the behavior in another six battleships of Sea Mist peripheral sea area immediately. 在这个世界上,除了失乡号之外,没有人能在夜战中战胜海雾号这艘“活着的船”,而从另一方面……如果寒霜海军今日真的愚蠢到主动出击,隐藏在海雾号周边海域的另外六艘战舰也会立刻教他们做人。 Naturally, Tyrian high-profile behavior here for not only also vent anger provokes to Cold Frost, he more important goal, is to complete matter —— that the father explains 当然,提瑞安在这里的高调行为也不只是为了出气般地向寒霜挑衅,他更重要的目的,是完成父亲交待的事情—— Make Cold Frost City-State anxious, anxiously better, best make them seal off the entire Cold Frost main island directly, forbids all route turnover. 让寒霜城邦紧张起来,越紧张越好,最好让他们直接封锁整个寒霜本岛,禁止一切航路进出。 Looking from so far the observed situation, this goal should achieve the —— Cold Frost City-State garrison navy to blockade the harbor, and sent out the signal of suspension shipping to peripheral City-State. 从目前为止观察到的情况看,这目的应该已经达到了——寒霜城邦的卫戍海军已经封锁港口,并向周边城邦发出了暂停航运的信号。 All in such as the plan development of father. 一切都在如父亲的计划般发展。 At this moment, in a nearby copper pipe broadcast the sound suddenly, Eden walks immediately, opposite of some post with copper pipe talked several, later he returns to front of Tyrian, on the face brings smiling: „Captain, the Cold Frost person a little could not sit still —— to have a boat to appear in the nearby sea level probably.” 就在这时,附近的一根铜管中突然传来了声音,艾登立刻走过去,与铜管对面的某个岗位交谈了几句,随后他回到提瑞安面前,脸上带着笑:“船长,寒霜人好像有点坐不住了——有一艘小船出现在附近海面上。” Tyrian selected the eyebrow: „A boat?” 提瑞安挑了挑眉毛:“一艘小船？” „Yes, is seemingly unarmed, moreover is shining three yellow white signal lights on own initiative, for fear that causes anything to misunderstand evidently,” Eden said, „that ship stops cautiously beyond the searchlight range, probably wants, in did not negotiate under not the hostile condition to carry out the observation task.” “是的,看上去没有武装,而且主动亮着三黄一白的信号灯,看样子生怕引起什么误会,”艾登说道,“那船小心翼翼地停在探照灯范围外,好像想在不交涉不敌对的状态下执行观察任务。” „Observation...... also good, at least also some strength in meditation,” Tyrian shrugs, „makes it observe, close to open fire warning.” “观察……还行,起码还有些定力,”提瑞安耸耸肩,“让它观察,过于靠近就开炮警告。” „Yes.” Eden receives an order immediately, but before he turns around, Tyrian also stopped by calling out him suddenly: „Wait.” “是。”艾登立刻领命,但在他转身之前,提瑞安突然又叫住了他:“等等。” „What do you have to tell?” “您还有什么吩咐？” „Calls the light signal them.” Tyrian said. “给他们打灯光信号。”提瑞安说道。 „Light signal?” Eden is startled slightly, „what content?” “灯光信号？”艾登微微一怔,“什么内容的？” The Tyrian corners of the mouth curled upwards, this is known as on ominous big pirate face to have practical joke smile on Cold Sea: „Content? Wants what content —— to flash one blindly.” 提瑞安嘴角翘了起来,这位在冷冽海上素有凶名的大海盗此刻脸上却带着恶作剧般的笑容:“内容？要什么内容——瞎闪一通。” Eden: „......?” 艾登:“……啊？” „Makes the signalman sparkle casually,” Tyrian touches the chin, said happily, „gives the Cold Frost expert advisers small century difficult problem.” “让信号手随便闪闪,”提瑞安摸了摸下巴,愉快地说道,“给寒霜的专家顾问们一点小小的世纪难题。” On Eden face appeared immediately the visible smile, even his bald seemed splendid. 艾登脸上顿时浮现出了肉眼可见的笑容,甚至就连他那光头都仿佛熠熠生辉起来。 „Yes, Captain!” “是,船长！”
