„!” “啪！” The document in hand was patted on the table, Lister stands —— this port district defense commander who got up —— he is almost jumps in fact to stare after the desk suddenly, looks at the present subordinate: „Did you say again?! How did you say Dagger Island?!” 手中的文件被拍在桌上,李斯特猛然间从办公桌后站了起来——事实上他几乎是跳起来的——这位港区防务指挥官瞪着眼睛,看着眼前的部下:“你再说一遍？！你说匕首岛怎么了？！” „Dagger Island...... Dagger Island it vanished!” The soldier who comes to give the message spoke some stutter, obviously even as a well-trained soldier, he were hard to control the own condition in this case, „in a moment ago, us observed on Dagger Island to have a series of explosions, doubtful was in the island the person of surviving detonates various facilities...... neighbor in the sea level to carry out the screening mission the fleet then to look that finally later helplessly that island sank and vanishes fast in the sea level......” “匕首岛……匕首岛它消失了！”前来传递消息的士兵说话都有些结巴,显然即便作为一名训练有素的战士,他在这种情况下都难以控制自己的状态,“就在刚才,我们观察到匕首岛上发生了一连串的爆炸,疑似是岛上最后残存的人引爆了各处设施……随后附近海面上执行警戒任务的舰队便眼睁睁看着那座岛飞快下沉并消失在海面上……” „Hadn't these fleets been affected?” Lister knits the brows immediately, felt that which has is not right. “那些舰队没有受到影响？”李斯特立刻皱了皱眉,感觉有哪不对。 „No,” soldier shakes the head, „in Dagger Island submersion process has almost not caused the sea level to change, the front return said that...... that island melts probably quietly in the sea water is the same.” “没有,”士兵摇了摇头,“匕首岛下沉过程中几乎没有引起海面变化,前方回报说……那座岛就好像是悄无声息地融化在海水中一样。” The Lister complexion becomes especially fearful, he silent several seconds, looks up to still stood Gatekeeper in office: „Ms. Agatha, in your cognition, what known god technique there is, a miracle or Transcendent Item can create this phenomenon?” 李斯特的脸色变得格外可怕,他沉默了几秒钟,抬头看向仍然站在办公室里的守门人:“阿加莎女士,在您的认知中,有什么已知的神术、奇迹或超凡物品可以造成这种现象吗？” „No,” Agatha shakes the head without hesitation, „the abnormal change of this scale has gone beyond the magic arts category, but should converge miracle —— or some Vision.” “没有,”阿加莎不假思索地摇头,“这种规模的异常变化已经超出了法术范畴,而更应该归为神迹——或某种异象。” „...... No matter what, we troubled in a big way, the field work has not started, the situation on Dagger Island has not understood, that island then entire vanished in marine, the city hall will not like this news,” Lister deeply frowned, is knocking the desktop with the finger, what remembered probably, looked up suddenly to the soldier, „right, what that side the Sea Mist fleet had to respond?” “……不管怎样,我们麻烦大了,调查工作尚未开始,匕首岛上的情况尚未明了,那座岛便整个消失在海上,市政厅不会喜欢这个消息的,”李斯特眉头紧锁,用手指敲着桌面,紧接着又好像想起什么,猛然抬头看向士兵,“对了,海雾舰队那边有什么反应？” „They still in the old position, without bridging over the offshore warning line,” soldier reply immediately, „, but after Dagger Island vanishes, they have two express steamers to be once short close to that piece of sea area —— stayed for probably dozen minutes, then returned fast.” “他们还在老位置,没有跨过近海警戒线,”士兵立刻答道,“但在匕首岛消失之后,他们有两艘快船曾短暂靠近那片海域——停留了大概十几分钟,便又飞快地返回了。” „Sounds seems like...... this matter is also unexpected evidently in them in observation,” Lister said slowly, „damn, we must chat with that big pirate evidently.” “听上去像是在观察情况……看样子这件事也在他们预料之外,”李斯特慢慢说道,“该死的,看样子我们必须跟那个大海盗谈谈了。” „The Cathedral aspect will also take action,” Agatha said, „at this moment, the exploration program to Dagger Island is insignificant, we will change over to the strength to the city in conduct the comprehensive investigation. Now Guardian had found some Annihilationists clues and several possibilities the assembly points, I will lead to solve them personally.” “大教堂方面也会采取行动,”阿加莎紧接着说道,“事到如今,对匕首岛的探索计划已无意义,我们会把力量转入对城内进行全面排查。现在守卫者们已经找到一些湮灭教徒的线索和数个可能的集会点,我会亲自带队去解决他们。” „Hopes you to harvest, Ms. Gatekeeper,” Lister raised the head, looks at front black clothes female Priest, „matter is losing control, we compared with need the assistance of transcendent domain at any time, but the investigation progress in Cathedral aspect is very slow.” “但愿您能有所收获,守门人女士,”李斯特抬起头,看着面前的黑衣女神官,“事情正在失控,我们比任何时候都需要超凡领域的协助,而大教堂方面的调查进展已经很缓慢了。” „We whole-heartedly.” “我们将全力以赴。” Agatha nods gently, later raised the cane, on the floor two, along with the voice of stick end rap ground, her form changed to grey wind gently suddenly, later circled directly is sinking to a pale crevice that on the floor emerged out of thin air. 阿加莎轻轻点了点头,随后提起手杖,在地板上轻轻顿了两下,伴随着杖端敲击地面的声音,她的身影骤然化作一股灰风,随后直接盘旋着沉入了地板上凭空出现的一道苍白裂隙中。 Lister looks at the place that Agatha vanishes, after that crevice closed, he sighed, sat layer on layer/heavily returns to the chair, simultaneously told to that soldier: „Goes out to close the door.” 李斯特看着阿加莎消失的地方,在那道裂隙闭合之后,他才叹了口气,重重坐回到椅子上,同时对那名士兵吩咐道:“出去把门关上。” Then, he should write one as soon as possible escorts to the city hall „rapid”, explained well happened at City-State main house gate Evil Sect matter. 接下来,他该尽快写一份送往市政厅的“迅件”,来好好解释解释发生在城邦家门口的邪门事情了。 ...... …… The staff of City-State harbor are guiding the ships to approach shore, these wear the person of black or blue uniform/subdue stand in the cement construction wharf, is handling the matter in the cold wind respectively, does not exchange, appears silent and busy. 城邦港口的工作人员正在引导着船只靠岸,那些身穿黑色或蓝色制服的人站在水泥浇筑的码头上,在冷冽的风中各自做着事情,彼此之间并不怎么交流,显得沉默且忙碌。 But in slightly far place, may see several other anchoring ships, these ships seemed like have anchored here, on the ship can only see that a small number of personnel are moving, their loading and unloading or the supplies work had ended, perhaps is waiting for the next step leaving port procedure. 而在稍远一些的地方,又可看到其他几艘正在停泊的船只,那些船似乎是早就停靠在这里的,船上只能看到少数人员在活动,它们的装卸或补给作业已经结束,或许正在等待下一步的离港手续。 Wharf area farther place, then can see that main road —— broad the path to city extends the standing tall and erect construction to distant place, path both sides gas lamp has not lightened, but as a result of the time already close to the night, on the path and cannot see the forms of many pedestrians, can only see some horse-drawn vehicles occasionally, rolls by the path that is gradually dim hurriedly. 码头区更远的地方,则可以看到通往城区的主干道——宽阔的道路延伸向远方的高耸建筑,道路两旁的瓦斯灯尚未点亮,但由于时间已经临近夜晚,道路上并看不到多少行人的身影,只能偶尔看到一些马车,匆匆忙忙地驶过逐渐昏暗下来的道路。 Lawrence stands in the gunwale, is looking into the City-State construction of distant place. 劳伦斯站在甲板边缘,眺望着远方的城邦建筑。 This is the first time that not he arrived at Cold Frost, but away visited previous time also had some years, the remote time impediment gets old again in addition the decline of later memory, making him not be clear that this city past appearance, looks now distant place these in the apex and turret that in the dusk stood and waited for a long time, he only felt especially strange. 这并不是他第一次来到寒霜,但距上一次造访也有了些年头,久远的时光阻隔再加上上了年纪之后记忆力的衰退,让他已经记不清楚这座城市当年的模样,现在看着远处那些在黄昏中伫立的尖顶与塔楼,他只觉得格外陌生。 But said no matter how, White Oak anchored the —— although this all the way weather in this City-State finally safely seemed especially bad, but has not met the storm eventually and so on fearful situation. 但不管怎么说,白橡木号总算是在这座城邦平安停靠了——尽管这一路上天色都显得格外糟糕,可终究没遇上风暴之类的可怕情况。 The sound of footsteps from transmits behind, old Captain has turned head, sees is first mate own. 脚步声从身后传来,老船长回过头,看到是自己的大副。 „Inspection was about to end,” first mate said, „everyone made me ask, today can enter a city? This comes, everyone may harbor evil thoughts on the ship.” “检查快结束了,”大副说道,“大家让我来问一下,今天能不能进城？这一路过来,大家可在船上憋坏了。” Lawrence looked up a weather, although World Creation has not appeared, the afterglow that but the sky only saved to soon has also dissipated gloomily, he is then knitting the brows to shake the head: „Too late, after at nightfall , the city curfew, disembarks the place that now also has nothing, honest waits —— wait/etc. to meet my oneself to go to the harbor affairs office on the ship to go through the surplus formalities, tomorrow morning other person again coming ashore.” 劳伦斯抬头看了一眼天色,尽管世界之创尚未显现,但天空仅存的余晖也已经暗淡到快要消散,他便皱着眉摇了摇头:“太晚了,入夜之后城区宵禁,现在下船也没什么可去的地方,都老老实实在船上待着吧——等会我自己去港口事务局办一下剩余的手续,明天早上其他人再上岸活动吧。” „Good, I told them this news,” first mate smiled, spoke thoughtlessly to ask, „your one person did go? Can send two people to accompany?” “好,我把这个消息告诉他们,”大副笑了起来,紧接着又随口问了一句,“不过您就一个人去？要不要派两个人陪着？” „Does not use, I saw the front door of harbor office —— by the wharf,” Lawrence beckons with the hand, raised the hand is pointing at ashore not far lights, „you paid attention after the harbor inspectors left inspected all warehouses on ship, particularly preserved the sacred object the third-class cabin and between several seals, which careless fellow to guard to touch the establishment.” “不用,我都看见港口办公室的大门了——就在码头旁边,”劳伦斯摆了摆手,抬手指着岸上不远的一处灯火,“你们注意在港口的检查人员离开之后再把船上的所有仓库都检查一遍,尤其是保存圣物的底舱和几个封印间,以防有哪个粗心大意的家伙触动了设置。” „Yes, Captain.” “是,船长。” The first mate departed, Lawrence inspires in the night wind gently, the cold cold wind of north sea area swamps into the lung, making him startle all of a sudden soberly. 大副离去了,劳伦斯在夜风中轻轻吸了口气,北方海域的冷冽寒风涌入肺中,让他激灵一下子清醒了点。 Afterward this old Captain shakes the head, complained slightly a here bad climate, then takes a step to move toward the staircase in not far away. 随后这位老船长摇了摇头,又稍稍抱怨了一下这里的糟糕气候,便迈步走向不远处的楼梯。 A form is standing in the stairway, holds the arm to stand in light staggered dim, looks at Lawrence tranquilly. 一个身影正站在楼梯口,抱着胳膊站在灯光交错的昏暗中,平静地看着劳伦斯。 Lawrence somewhat stopped scruple, the identification is hesitating a moment later the opens the mouth: „...... Martha? you here?” 劳伦斯有些迟疑地停了下来,辨认片刻之后才犹豫着开口:“……玛莎？伱怎么也在这儿？” „If I am you, at this time should not have the unnecessary question, but starts to leave here immediately,” both hands hug the female navigator of chest to gaze at present old Captain, in the tone bring reluctantly, „your vigilant heart reduced, Lawrence.” “如果我是你,这时候就不该有多余的疑问,而是立刻启程离开这里,”双手抱胸的女航海家注视着眼前的老船长,语气中带着无奈,“你的警惕心降低了,劳伦斯。” „Martha, I......” the Lawrence subconscious ground first half step, vaguely which he feels like has is not right, was actually stopped up the throat by the countless words, can only put out a hand slowly forward, „I a little think how you...... you did cross recently?” “玛莎,我……”劳伦斯下意识地上前半步,他依稀觉得好像有哪不对,却又被千言万语堵住喉头,只能迟钝地向前伸出手去,“我有点想你……你最近过得怎么样？” Martha has not replied him, this female navigator casts the tranquil vision, the line of sight actually as if focuses in a farther place, in the gentle sea breeze and thin sound of waves, she hummed —— slowly 玛莎却没有回答他,这位女航海家只是投来平静的目光,视线却仿佛聚焦在一个更远的地方,在轻柔的海风与细浪声中,她慢慢哼唱起来—— „ Hoisted sails, hoisted sails, the sailor of leaving home marches forward...... “升帆了,升帆了,离家的水手继续向前…… „ In storm, makes noise, we only missed a plank to the death. “风浪中,喧闹中,我们离死亡只差一层木板。 „Receives the corner/horn sail, opens the Lord sail, lets loose the cable, grasps broad side —— we to arrive in the sea......” “收起角帆,张开主帆,放开缆绳,抓紧船舷——我们已经来到大海中间……” The Martha sound is gradually low and deep, she stopped finally, the line of sight focuses to Lawrence on, with one type as if thought aloud the neutral tone said: „Lawrence, be careful, you arrived in the sea.” 玛莎的声音渐渐低沉,她终于停了下来,视线聚焦到劳伦斯身上,用一种仿佛自言自语般的轻声说道:“劳伦斯,小心,你来到大海中间了。” Lawrence inspires suddenly, the cold air current makes his mind feel pumped up , he as if remembered anything, hurries to reach the chest the hand, is actually groping in the pocket fast flustered. 劳伦斯突然吸了口气,寒冷的气流让他的头脑为之一振,紧接着,他仿佛想起了什么,慌忙将手伸向胸口,飞快却又忙乱地在口袋里掏摸着。 The Martha starting to walk footsteps, walk slowly toward him. 玛莎迈开脚步,慢慢向他走来。 „Lawrence, were you so how old?” The female navigator puts out a hand forward, the voice hoarse brings a gentleness, she seemed like still young, although on the face brought the wind and frost that some life at sea are bringing, actually also and in Lawrence memory equally attractive, „has passed many years, right? You no longer were young...... I is also the same......” “劳伦斯,你怎么这么老了？”女航海家向前伸出手,嗓音沙哑中带着一丝柔和,她看上去仍然年轻,尽管脸上带着些许海上生活带来的风霜,却还和劳伦斯记忆中的一样漂亮,“已经过去很多年了,是吗？你不再年轻了……我也一样……” „Martha......” the Lawrence throat is wriggling, he felt that the own finger must touch that small bottle, actually miss several times. “玛莎……”劳伦斯喉头蠕动着,他感觉自己的手指就要触摸到那个小瓶子了,却又几次错过。 He almost can smell Martha smell —— that familiar aura, has the little lemon flavor, that is the fragrance that she most likes. 他几乎能闻到玛莎身上的气味——那熟悉的气息,带着一点点柠檬味道,那是她最喜欢的香气。 He touched to that small bottle. 他摸到那个小瓶子了。 „Martha......” “玛莎……” He it in the hand, the foot actually decides like taking root in the deck, he looks at the person in that memory to reach out oneself, like in the innumerable dreams sees, that has the familiar temperature, touches his sending tree top little, he saw the person in that memory to smile, as if must recount long-separated missing with oneself...... 他把它拿在手中,脚却像扎了根一样定在甲板上,他看着那记忆中的人向自己伸出手,就像无数次梦中所见的一样,那手带着熟悉的温度,一点点触碰到他的发梢,他又看到那记忆中的人笑了起来,似乎要跟自己述说一段阔别多年的思念…… „Martha, sorry.” “玛莎,抱歉。” Lawrence grips the tight medicine bottle, in bitter and astringent medicament but actually entrance. 劳伦斯攥紧药瓶,将苦涩的药剂倒入口中。 Martha vanished. 玛莎消失了。
