Nimmo felt a palpitation suddenly. 尼莫突然感觉到了一种心悸。 In this moment, he as if felt at present this makes the one who one dread „Ghost Captain that” makes is not a simple commitment, but is stating one to him...... already in some as if made by Heaven of future „established facts”. 在这一刻,他仿佛感觉到眼前这令人畏惧的“幽灵船长”所做出的的并不是一个简单的承诺,而是在向他陈述一个……已经在未来的某一天成型的“既定事实”。 He does not know that this feeling came from where, only knows that oneself cannot help but lowers the head in this moment, with awe opens the mouth of some of his oneself not good description: „Said like you.” 他不知道这种感觉从何而来,只知道自己在这一刻不由自主地低下头来,怀着某种连他自己都不好描述的敬畏开口:“诚如您所说。” Duncan nods, then imitates, if moves the line of sight accidentally, looked that to stood in not far away, 邓肯点了点头,接着又仿若无意地移动视线,看向了站在不远处, By the old ghost who on the wall is in a daze probably. 正靠在墙上好像发呆的老鬼。 This old person has not talked over what Frost Queen phrase at this moment again, does not have odd whispered the second waterway and rebel army and so on matter, he is in a daze there, probably was energetic is loafing in some already quickly in the forgotten space and time. 这位老人此刻没有再念叨什么寒霜女王的字眼,也没有神神叨叨地嘀咕第二水路、叛军之类的事情,他只是在那里发着呆,好像精神正游荡在某个已经快被人遗忘的时空里。 ...... Was Frost Queen in the memory of old person chaos still ruling this place? 在老人混沌的记忆中……寒霜女王仍然统治着这个地方吗？ Duncan took back the vision, called similarly Alice beyond side patrolling day, brings Vanna and Morris turns toward the exit|to speak of dense say/way to walk together. 邓肯收回了目光,叫上同样在旁边神游天外的爱丽丝,带着凡娜与莫里斯一同向着密道的出口走去。 In a while, 没过多久, They then returned to the surface, 他们便回到了地表, After leaving „gold/metal flute” tavern, arrived at the Cold Frost City-State crowded street. 离开“金笛”酒馆之后,来到了寒霜城邦人来人往的街头。 The setting sun is approaching the construction roof of distant place gradually, the magnificent mysterious dual rune ring contacts the edges of Upper District several steeples exactly, visually, 夕阳正渐渐靠近远方的建筑屋顶,辉煌神秘的双重符文圆环恰好接触到上城区几座尖塔的边缘,从视觉上, The steeple that as if the mortal casts haunched chains that fetters Sun, 就仿佛凡人铸起的尖塔撑起了束缚太阳的锁链, Made that sun be hanging sky over the city general. 令那日轮悬挂在城市上空一般。 Dusk , the curfew will draw near, 黄昏将至,宵禁时间快到了, Because stricter in curfew order, everyone is returning to goes home or recent „at nightfall shelter” hurriedly, but in the stream of people of going on a trip in a hurry, Duncan one group of who still strolled seems quite alternative. 由于更加严格的宵禁命令,所有人都在匆匆忙忙地返回家里或最近的“入夜庇护所”,而在行色匆匆的人流中,仍然闲庭信步的邓肯一行人显得颇为另类。 But many vision have not noticed on them, everyone is busy very much. 但并没有多少目光留意到他们身上,大家都忙得很。 „How do you see to this matter?” Vanna arrives at side Duncan, lowering the sound said ——, because the height is close, “您对这件事怎么看？”凡娜来到邓肯身旁,压低声音说道——由于身高相近, She can very nearly collect. 她可以凑得很近。 Duncan maintains composure: „Are you said that ‚sham’ the origin?” 邓肯不动声色:“你是说那‘赝品’的来源？” „—— that it emerges out of thin air probably I and Morris respective investigation way is unable to find the corresponding the trace, you cannot discover the clue,” Vanna nods gently, „, but we have believed that “它像是凭空出现的——我和莫里斯各自的探查方式都无法找到对应的痕迹,就连您都没能发现线索,”凡娜轻轻点头,“而我们一直认为, Even these strange ‚sham’, they must be able to move the position through ‚normal’ some ways, 即便是这些诡异的‘赝品’,它们也要通过‘正常’一些的方式才能移动位置, Must have an origin, must have the process of movement...... ” 要有个来源,也要有个移动的过程……” The Duncan footsteps slowed down, slightly the leaning head: „You want to say that these shams perhaps have some space nature ‚strength’, can make them disregard the impediment of Real Dimension, appears in the specific place directly?” 邓肯脚步放缓了些,微微侧头:“你想说,那些赝品或许有某种空间性质的‘力量’,能够让它们无视现实维度的阻隔,直接出现在特定地方？” „This is my suspicion.” “这是我的怀疑。” Duncan shows neither approval nor disapproval, several seconds later he will say suddenly: „When I to you have spoken Alice to the ship on for the first time matter?” 邓肯不置可否,过了几秒钟他才突然说道:“我跟你讲过爱丽丝第一次到船上时的事情么？” „No,” Vanna blinks, „when she arrives on the ship at first what had?” “没有,”凡娜眨眨眼,“她最初到船上时发生什么了吗？” „The puppet coffin will return to Vanished —— I to throw in the sea her unceasingly three times, she and her wooden box then return to the ship three times,” Duncan is saying at a moderate pace, „you guesses how she does come back?” “人偶灵柩会不断回到失乡号上——我把她扔到海中三次,她和她的木箱便回到船上三次,”邓肯不紧不慢地说着,“伱猜她是怎么回来的？” Vanna thinks, not too definitely said: „Dependence...... strength of curse? Anomaly 099 some ‚homing instinct different functions’? Also is the strength of space nature?” 凡娜想了想,不太肯定地说道:“依靠……诅咒的力量？异常099的某种‘回归性异能’？也是空间性质的力量吗？” „No, she delimits the coffin board to come back, delimited unusual is quick,” Duncan said calmly, „ then crawls directly along the stern outer covering with very big strength ——, because delimited was too quick, opening I have not caught her twice, “不,她划着棺材板回来的,划的非常快,”邓肯语气平静地说道,“然后用很大的力气直接沿着船尾外壳爬上来——因为划太快了,开头两次我都没抓到她, Catches red-handed for the third time. ” 第三次才逮个正着。” Vanna: „......” 凡娜:“……” This young Inquisitor has also turned the head with nearby Morris, 这位年轻审判官跟旁边的莫里斯同时转过头, Has a vision that is hard to speak to see looking around Miss puppet, 带着一种难以言说的目光看着正在东张西望的人偶小姐, The latter notices the line of sight, has turned the head to show the human and animals harmless smile. 后者注意到视线,转过头露出人畜无害的笑容。 „I do not remove these ‚sham’ to appear through the way of some similar space transmission in City-State directly, but logically, if they really can the direct transmission to the city, why Haiyan probably open from the open sea, rather than appears in the harbor directly?” Duncan said lightly, „I favored the sham still needed the normal moving way, but that sham in sewer seemed like ‚emerging out of thin air’, likely was only because we neglected anything, like the normal person cannot think Cursed Doll repeatedly ‚return’ the real reason was she delimits the water to be quick, the strength was also very big.” “我不排除那些‘赝品’会通过某种类似空间传送的方式直接出现在城邦里,但从逻辑上,如果它们真的能直接传送到城里,‘海燕号’又为什么非要一路从外海开过来,而不是直接出现在港口中？”邓肯淡淡说道,“我更倾向于赝品仍然需要正常的移动方式,而下水道里的那个赝品之所以看上去像是‘凭空出现’的,很可能只是因为我们忽略了什么,就像正常人根本想不到一个诅咒人偶反复‘回归’的真实原因是她划水很快,力气也很大。” Speaking of this him, continued to say looking pensive: „...... Has the possibility, crow ‚astraying’ that place, as a result of this type ‚neglect’,” 说到这他顿了顿,若有所思地继续说道:“……更有可能,乌鸦‘误入’的那个地方,也是由于这种‘忽略’,” Morris that the one side has not spoken responded suddenly: „Isn't some existence but able by observed ‚channel’? Non-periodically will open ‚crevice’?” 一旁始终没吭声的莫里斯突然反应过来:“某种存在但无法被观察到的‘通道’？或者一个会不定期打开的‘裂隙’？” „Did not say, but this matter definitely could not withdraw the responsibility with these heretic,” Duncan said that „ the thing that on that paper that crow brought recorded made me care very much, they seemed like all are not odd ‚heresy thought’, poured is more like using some modern people unable to understand the sentence that describes had had the fact, but this type ‚record’...... always suited these heretic appetites very much. “不好说,但这件事跟那些邪教徒肯定脱不开干系,”邓肯说道,“乌鸦带回来的那张纸上记录的东西让我很在意,它们看上去不全是神神叨叨的‘异端思想’,倒更像是在用某种现代人无法理解的语句来描述曾经发生过的事实,而这种‘记录’……向来很合那些邪教徒的胃口。 „Perhaps really this/should brought the eye of —— Nether Demon Doggy and Shirley, could discover anything in the dimension outside Reality.” “或许真的该把阿狗和雪莉带过来了——幽邃恶魔的眼睛,或许可以在现实之外的维度里发现些什么。” ...... …… gray wind is sweeping across the front door that injected the harbor defense office, the Gatekeeper Agatha form takes a step to go out from the grey wind. 一股灰色的风席卷着吹入了港口防务办公室的大门,守门人阿加莎的身影从灰风中迈步走出。 Colonel Lister after desk raised the head, looks to present Miss Gatekeeper in oneself office: „Your this time even notified saves.” 办公桌后的李斯特上校抬起头,看着出现在自己办公室里的守门人小姐:“您这次连通报都省了。” „Sorry, after all the urgent time,” Agatha is saying, suddenly noticed on the Lister face that two thick dark pouche, „...... hadn't you rested last night?” “抱歉,毕竟紧急时刻,”阿加莎说着,突然注意到了李斯特脸上那两个浓浓的黑眼圈,“……您昨晚没睡？” „The person who has not rested continues my,” Lister is smiling bitterly shaking the head, „our entire evening is trying the mysterious signal that decodes the Sea Mist fleet to send, several password scientists and mathematicians soon carried the chair to hit —— I first time to know the scholars who scholarly will quarrel also to greet others relative.” “没睡的人不止我一个,”李斯特苦笑着摇了摇头,“我们一整个晚上都在尝试破解海雾舰队发来的神秘信号,几位密码学家和数学家都快要拎着椅子打起来了——我头一次知道儒雅的学者们争吵起来也是会问候他人亲属的。” Agatha silent, the look somewhat seemed to be strange, after the moment, opens the mouth saying: „Then Cathedral possibly from your here ‚borrowing’ several scholars, is the cryptology and world of mathematics.” 阿加莎沉默了一下,眼神似乎有些怪异,片刻后开口道:“回头大教堂可能会从你这里‘借’几位学者,正是密码学和数学领域的。” Lister stares: „Why?” 李斯特一愣:“为什么？” Agatha unemotional( half expressions were blocked by bandage): „...... Decodes another wicked interest in exist to leave our wicked interest secrets.” 阿加莎面无表情(半数表情被绷带挡住了):“……破解另一位恶趣味存在留给我们的恶趣味秘密。” „Good, your worrying matters are not evidently less than me,” Lister sighed, then cheered up, „said the proper business, what did you visit suddenly want to understand?” “好吧,看样子你们的烦心事不比我少,”李斯特叹了口气,接着振作了一下精神,“说正事吧,您突然造访是想了解什么？” „Blockade about City-State,” Agatha said, „Cathedral should not inquire about the City-State defense issue, but the situation is now special, I am really in suspense.” “关于城邦的封锁情况,”阿加莎说道,“原本大教堂不该过问城邦的防务问题,但现在情况特殊,我实在放心不下。” „I understood,” Lister nods, „please feel relieved, entire Cold Frost has blocked —— now completely, even if really has not to have the blockade proper place, has that huge Sea Mist fleet to assemble in the offshore, was impossible some people to dare to pass in and out again casually. We have frozen all clearance permits temporarily, and informs ships on surrounding City-State and open sea far away from Cold Frost, until now received all entered port the application also to reject.” “我理解,”李斯特点了点头,“请放心,整个寒霜如今已经完全封锁起来——哪怕真有没封锁到位的地方,有那么庞大的海雾舰队在近海集结,也不可能再有人敢随便进出了。我们已经临时冻结了所有出港许可,并告知周围城邦以及外海上的船只远离寒霜,迄今收到的所有入港申请也都驳回了。” „Very good, this will at least not make the issue bigger,” Agatha shouted the tone gently, „that side Dagger Island?” “很好,这样至少不会让问题更大,”阿加莎轻轻呼了口气,“匕首岛那边呢？” „Still in the blocked state, until the Cathedral aspect further gave ‚professional advice’,” Lister was saying, the expression was slightly dignified, „till yesterday, that island was still feeding in unceasingly ‚normally all’ regular return, even if the City-State aspect has stopped in the provisioning to island, simultaneously cut off all communication responses, that side also had no other response.” “仍然在封锁状态,直到大教堂方面给出更进一步的‘专业建议’,”李斯特说着,表情略显凝重,“昨天为止,那座岛仍然在不断传回‘一切正常’的定期回报,哪怕城邦方面已经停止对岛上的物资供应,同时掐断了所有的通信回应,那边也没有任何别的反应。” „Do not relax vigilantly, the petrel number event proved pollution on that island has...... that thing ’ so honestly is not on own initiative peaceful to the tendency that City-State shifts ‚,” Agatha said seriously, „Cathedral has been preparing an army that some dead oath and painstakingly the member comprised, but breaking the seal of powerful sacred object still required time.” “别放松警惕,海燕号事件证明了那座岛上的污染有主动向城邦转移的倾向……那‘东西’不会就这么老老实实安静下来的,”阿加莎严肃说道,“大教堂已经在准备一支由死誓者和苦修士组成的部队,但强力圣物的启封尚需一些时间。” Lister nods, then as if also wants to say anything, but before he opens the mouth, sound of footsteps then transmitted from the corridor direction suddenly, broke his movement. 李斯特点了点头,接着似乎还想说些什么,但在他开口之前,一阵脚步声便突然从走廊方向传来,打断了他的动作。 A port district soldier appears in the office entrance. 一名港区士兵出现在办公室门口。 Lister raised the head, looks on the face the hurried color soldier: „What happened?” 李斯特抬起头,看着脸上略带匆忙之色的士兵:“发生什么事了？” The soldier standing body, the language fast reports to say fast: „Reported the senior official, scheduled must not appear in the ship that Cold Frost anchored on time.” 士兵站直身体,语速飞快地汇报道:“报告长官,一艘预定要在寒霜停靠的船没有按时出现。” „Hasn't appeared on time? Quite baffling,” Lister knits the brows, „the present City-State peripheral all routes have blocked, naturally will not have the ship to approach shore.” “没有按时出现？没头没尾的,”李斯特皱了皱眉,“现在城邦周边所有航线已经封锁了,当然不会有船靠岸。” „Reported the senior official, had to approach shore —— not to appear from the start!” Soldier hurrying answered, „that ship should arrive today, we have prepared to transmit the circular of City-State blockade to it, but it has not contacted, we just related that side cold port, the cold port confirmed before that ship, completed the supplies to inspect —— but after approaching the Cold Frost offshore that side them normally, it did not have the message again!” “报告长官,不是没有靠岸——是压根没有出现！”士兵赶紧解释道,“那艘船本来应该在今天到达,我们已经准备好了向它发送城邦封锁的通告,但它迟迟没有联络,我们刚刚又联系了冷港那边,冷港确认那艘船之前在他们那边正常完成了补给检查——但在靠近寒霜近海之后,它就再无音讯了！” Hears here, the Lister expression enforces finally, he inspires gently, stands up after the desk: „Does that ship name?” 听到这里,李斯特的表情终于严肃起来,他轻轻吸了口气,从办公桌后站起身:“那艘船叫什么名字？” „White Oak!” “白橡木号！”
