Martha vanished, does not seem to then existed from the beginning. 玛莎消失了,就仿佛从一开始便不曾存在过。 However that warm touch still remained in the temple, the aura of lemon fragrance still lingered in the noses —— she as if from the future, actually also never leaves. 然而那温暖的触感仍残留在鬓角,略带柠檬香气的气息仍萦绕在鼻间——她似乎从未来过,却也从未离开。 Lawrence felt that the own finger somewhat trembles, he lowers the head several times, tried that young bottle cap again cover good, used for a long time to place in the personal pocket it very much, he felt that the own heart bang bang jumped ——, even if were met the big storm the time, his heart has not beaten like this. 劳伦斯感觉自己的手指有些发抖,他低下头,试了好几次才把那个小小的瓶盖重新盖好,又用了很久才把它重新放在贴身的口袋里,他感觉自己的心脏砰砰直跳——哪怕是遇上大风暴的时候,他的心脏也不曾这样跳动过。 The sane long in coming, such as the long dream awakes initially, he realized that oneself once and brushed past a moment ago crazily, even almost falls into long-enduring read the condition absurdly, had drifted Captain of most lifetime regarding one on Boundless Sea, once fell into this condition, that was then impossible to retrieve the reason again, rejoicing that but he has not actually been survivor of disaster at this moment, had not once faced directly the crazy lingering fear. 理智姗姗来迟,如长梦初醒,他意识到自己刚才曾和疯狂擦肩而过,甚至几乎陷入持续性的妄念状态,对于一个已经在无垠海上漂泊了大半辈子的船长而言,一旦陷入这种状态,那便不可能再找回理智,可他此刻却既没有劫后余生的庆幸,也没有曾直面疯狂的余悸。 He only feels a faint sorrow and regrettable. 他只感觉一种淡漠的悲哀和遗憾。 But this type faint sorrowful and regrettable is a police trillion —— this means that he too does not conflict „crazily” it from the heart deep place. 而这种淡漠的悲哀和遗憾更是一种警兆——这意味着他从内心深处已经不太抵触“疯狂”本身了。 Lawrence makes an effort to inspire, pesters the oneself sane thought to fling the mind these with every effort, he looked at side one, White Oak in the oneself under foot, but the person of here also ship waits for him to bring back to Pland them. 劳伦斯用力吸了口气,尽力将那些纠缠自己理智的念头都甩出脑海,他看了一眼身边,白橡木号就在自己脚下,而这里还有一船的人等着他把他们带回普兰德。 Now does not fall into the crazy time. 现在可不是陷入疯狂的时候。 „I really should retire......” old Captain to sigh, slowly the starting to walk footsteps, move toward the present staircase, but he just went out of several steps then to stop suddenly, on the face brings dignifiedly some. “我是真的该退休了……”老船长叹了口气,慢慢迈开脚步,走向眼前的楼梯,但他刚走出几步便突然停了下来,脸上带着些许凝重。 When he recalls „Martha” presented a moment ago scene —— him to know although this type „recollection” is very dangerous, may cause the opposite party to appear very much again, he cannot bear recall, because he realized suddenly, „Martha” made one care to some words that oneself spoke a moment ago: 他又回忆起了刚才“玛莎”出现时的情景——尽管他知道这种“回忆”很危险,很有可能导致对方再度出现,他还是忍不住回忆着,因为他突然意识到,刚才“玛莎”对自己说的一些话非常令人在意: „Lawrence, be careful, you arrived in the sea......” “劳伦斯,小心,你来到大海中间了……” „If I am you, at this time should not have the unnecessary question, but starts to leave here...... your vigilant heart to reduce immediately......” “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……你的警惕心降低了……” The Lawrence subconsciousness is repeating these two words in the heart, although clear(ly) knows that was the oneself memory was confused a moment ago, cognition vacillated the illusion, perhaps he cannot help but regarded some police trillion —— Martha not to exist these two words, but did oneself feel some danger in the intuition deep place? Are these two words...... the own subconscious are giving the warning? 劳伦斯下意识在心中重复着这两句话,尽管明知道刚才那是自己记忆错乱、认知动摇所产生的幻觉,他还是不由自主地将这两句话当成了某种警兆——玛莎或许是不存在的,但自己是否在直觉深处感觉到了某种危险？这两句话……是自己的潜意识在提出警告吗？ Old Captain observes the situation all around, observes this again earnestly „White Oak”, all that sees pleasant are very normal, later he raised the head, looks to nearby Cold Frost City-State. 老船长环视四周,再次认真观察这艘“白橡木号”,入眼所见的一切都很正常,随后他又抬起头,看向旁边的寒霜城邦。 Cold Frost City-State also all normal, harbor area that approaches is seemingly quiet auspiciously, the city region of not far away has started to shine the light, a farther place, that high sea cliff is overlooking the sea, presents the firm powerful outline under the dim skylight. 寒霜城邦也一切正常,临近的港口区看起来平静祥和,不远处的城市区域已经开始亮起灯光,更远一些的地方,那座高高的海崖俯瞰着大海,在昏暗的天光下呈现出刚硬有力的轮廓。 But a light being out of sorts feeling actually rose, like gradually in tidal irresistible, but appears along with this being out of sorts feeling in the heart rising, Lawrence hears the ear to transmit gentle ocean waves sound —— to overlap suddenly in the White Oak peripheral ocean waves sound, at first he has not distinguished, but is quick he then to realize that this sound is resounds in the oneself mind directly. 可一种淡淡的违和感却升了上来,就像逐渐在心中上涨的潮水般不可阻挡,而伴随着这违和感出现,劳伦斯突然听到耳边传来轻柔的海浪声——就重迭在白橡木号周边的海浪声中,起初他还没有分辨出来,但很快他便意识到这声音是直接在自己脑海中响起的。 Is the ocean waves sound...... the warning? Is the blessing of Goddess of Storm Gamona is becoming effective?! 海浪声……是警告？是风暴女神葛莫娜的祝福在生效？！ The Lawrence look concentrates, immediately gives up the plan that goes to the ashore, turns around to charge into the bridge direction suddenly, the cold night wind howls in his ear, such as the blade edge is stimulating his nerve. 劳伦斯眼神一凝,立刻放弃了前往岸上的打算,猛然转身冲向舰桥方向,寒冷的夜风在他耳边呼啸而过,如刀锋般刺激着他的神经。 „Captain?” In the first mate who the bridge performs duties saw that Lawrence suddenly appears, seems surprised, he stands from the chair, arrives in front of Captain quickly, „you do not go to the ashore......” “船长？”在舰桥执勤的大副看到劳伦斯突然出现,显得惊愕不已,他从椅子上站起来,快步来到船长面前,“您不是去岸上……” „Situation has the change,” Lawrence said fast, „I thought how long not too right...... we did anchor here? Do some people slide the ashore secretly?” “情况有变化,”劳伦斯飞快地说道,“我觉得不太对劲……咱们在这里停靠多久了？有人偷偷溜到岸上吗？” „No,” first mate says immediately, „you ordering has made everyone treat on the ship, everyone is very honest. Moreover, we have anchored here for several hours.” “没有,”大副立刻说道,“您已经下令让所有人在船上待着了,大家都还是挺老实的。另外,我们已经在这里停靠几个小时了。” „No one comes ashore well,” Lawrence nods fast, then looked at bridge direction one, „ignition steam core, we leave this harbor.” “没有人上岸就好,”劳伦斯飞快地点了点头,接着又看了驾驶台方向一眼,“点燃蒸汽核心,我们离开这个港口。” „......?” The first mate has not responded all of a sudden, „leaves this harbor? We......” “啊……啊？”大副一下子没反应过来,“离开这个港口？咱们才……” Lawrence did not wait for the opposite party saying that then broke him: „This place is not right, I cannot say, but I felt bad. Still remembers that the beforehand stargazing room does have problems? And earlier, we and Cold Frost could not contact, starting from that time, everyone's vigilant heart reduced, had anything...... to affect us.” 劳伦斯不等对方说完便打断了他:“这地方不对劲,我说不上来,但我感觉非常糟糕。还记得之前观星室出问题吗？以及更早些时候,我们和寒霜联络不上,从那时候开始,大家的警惕心都降低了,有什么东西……在影响我们所有人。” He is saying fast, simultaneously he also knows, the order that oneself issues has point of how not normal —— in besides intuition to be out of sorts, he has no evidence to prove accuracy that oneself order, but White Oak just experienced a long-distance voyage, no matter the person or the machine need to repair and maintain at this time, in this case, his leaving port order like deliberately creating trouble. 他飞快地说着,同时他也知道,自己下达的命令有多么不正常——除了直觉上的一点违和之外,他没有任何证据能证明自己命令的正确性,而白橡木号刚刚经历了一场远航,不管人还是机器这时候都需要修整,在这种情况下,他的离港命令如同胡闹。 Let alone, leaving port needs to be coordinated with harbor, does not pass through the report on the reignition steam core is the serious irregularity, he must decide to shoulder the responsibility for own. 更何况,离港是需要跟港口方面协调的,不经报备就重燃蒸汽核心是严重的违规操作,他必须为自己的决定承担责任。 But the fierce police trillion beats in the heart, more and more intense ocean waves sound reverberates in the mind, the blessing of Gamona is warning him, absolutely do not continue aspect to contact with „harbor”, even if said that a few words are not good. 可剧烈的警兆在心中跳动,越来越强烈的海浪声在脑海中回响,葛莫娜的祝福在警告他,绝对不要继续跟“港口”方面接触,哪怕多说一句话都不行。 The first mate decides is gazing at present Captain, crossed for about a half minute, he stood suddenly the body, said loudly: „Yes, Captain!” 大副定定地注视着眼前的船长,过了将近半分钟,他突然站直了身体,大声说道:“是,船长！” On the ship, the Captain words are the law. 在船上,船长的话就是法律。 Intelligent abnormal Captain will cause the person of entire ship to be buried along with the dead together —— but under a higher probability, experienced Captain will make a person of ship be saved from the crisis. 一个神智失常的船长会导致整艘船的人一同陪葬——但在更高的概率下,一个经验丰富的船长会让一船的人从危机中得救。 The order was issued to the entire ship quickly, the sailors of being confused is urged acted, and quick is ready that set sail in conditioned reflex skilled. 命令很快被下达至全船,一头雾水的水手们被催促着行动了起来,并且很快便在条件反射般的熟练中做好了重新起航的准备。 The new Boiling Gold catalyst was inserted the steam core, the low and deep mechanical vibrations sound regains consciousness in the White Oak deep place, the sailors relieved fixing cable/search on broad side quietly, and takes back the springboard to the deck, Lawrence stands on the bridge, is observing sound —— in wharf by the broad glass ship earnestly 新的沸金触媒被插入蒸汽核心,低沉的机械振动声在白橡木号深处苏醒,水手们悄悄解除了船舷上的固定索,并将跳板收回到甲板上,劳伦斯站在舰桥上,透过宽阔的玻璃船认真观察着码头上的动静—— Some person's shadows move in the wharf, under the dim gas light, these forms are fuzzy, appearing is not very clear , some loading and unloading vehicles roll by the slightly far place, stays behind in the road surface is long and thick projection. 一些人影在码头上活动,昏暗的瓦斯灯光下,那些身影模模糊糊,显得很不真切,又有一些装卸车辆在稍远一些的地方驶过,在路面上留下又长又浓的投影。 They have not as if noticed a ship to light the steam core under the dim light of night completely, has no „thing” suddenly to appear, the interception White Oak that is about to leave secretly. 他们似乎完全没有注意到一艘船在夜色下重新点燃了蒸汽核心,更没有什么“东西”突然出现,来拦截正准备偷偷离开的白橡木号。 Situation already compared with imagination was better, in the Lawrence worst suspicion, he was even worried that in the flash of steam core reignition, in this surrounding sea water suddenly will then present hundreds and thousands of sea monsters to touch the wrist, drags White Oak to the water in directly. 情况已经比想象的要好了,在劳伦斯最糟糕的猜想中,他甚至担心在蒸汽核心重燃的一瞬间,这周围的海水中便会突然出现成百上千的海怪触腕,把白橡木号直接拖到水里去。 „Maintains the blackout, does not want the resounding steam whistle,” Lawrence said to nearby first mate fast, then before takes a step to arrive at the bridge, received the steering wheel personally, „I steer the —— boiler to maintain the high pressure personally, prepares overload at any time.” “保持灯火管制,不要鸣响汽笛,”劳伦斯飞快地对旁边的大副说道,接着又迈步来到驾驶台前,亲手接过了舵轮,“我亲自掌舵——锅炉维持高压,随时做好超载准备。” „Yes, Captain.” “是,船长。” Although in the heart still had the doubts, but everyone on this ship carried out the order of old Captain without hesitation, Lawrence can feel, oneself under foot steel giant beast is moving slowly. 虽然心中尚有疑惑,但这艘船上的每一个人都毫不犹豫地执行了老船长的命令,劳伦斯能感觉到,自己脚下这艘钢铁巨兽在缓缓活动起来了。 The entire ship maintains the condition of blackout, the propeller under water surface is starting to rotate, White Oak is separated from the harbor gradually mix, the sea water the sound gets up, everyone is tense, everyone's line of sight looks to side that is covering City-State in dim light of night. 全船维持着灯火管制的状态,水面下的螺旋桨开始转动,白橡木号在渐渐脱离港口,海水被搅动的哗哗声响起,每个人都紧张起来,所有人的视线都望向旁边那座正笼罩在夜色中的城邦。 Lawrence felt that in the palm is the perspiration. 劳伦斯感觉手心里都是汗。 But City-State still had no abnormal to respond ——, even if the change of White Oak could not have concealed the truth, does not see some people coming inspections. 但城邦仍然没什么异常反应——哪怕白橡木号的异动已经瞒不住,也不见有人过来检查情况。 He looks to nearby radio communication stage, the telegraph is silent like the death. 他又看向旁边的无线电通讯台,电报机如死亡般沉默着。 Theoretically, at this time the harbor affairs office should send in contacted urgently, the harbor officer of duty will interrogate reason —— that White Oak leaves port suddenly is nothing happened. 理论上,这时候港口事务局应该发来紧急联络了,执勤的港口官员会质问白橡木号突然离港的原因——可是什么都没发生。 This instead boosted the Lawrence confidence, making him think the own judgment yes right. 这反而坚定了劳伦斯的信心,让他认为自己的判断是没错的。 This place is not really right! 这地方果然不对劲！ The power of steam core was increased first-level, the rotational speed of propeller is raised gradually, White Oak more and more was separated from the wharf region quickly, the open sea level starts to appear dead ahead the bridge, on the water surface is exuding the clear wave light. 蒸汽核心的动力提升了一级,螺旋桨的转速渐渐提升,白橡木号越来越快地脱离了码头区域,开阔的海面开始出现在舰桥正前方,水面上泛着粼粼波光。 Lawrence deeply inspires, makes an effort to get hold of the steering wheel: „Promotion to full speed!” 劳伦斯深深吸了口气,用力握紧舵轮:“提升至全速！” ...... …… A grey wind volume crosses the garden, condenses the formation in the Cathedral lobby, the Agatha form takes a step to go out from the grey wind, she fast across the porch and hall, arrives at City-State Bishop Ivan „ponders sacred hall”. 一股灰风卷过庭院,在大教堂的前厅中凝聚成型,阿加莎的身影从灰风中迈步走出,她飞快地穿过门廊和大厅,来到城邦主教伊凡所处的“冥思圣堂”中。 The God of Death Bartok sacred image calmly stands and waits for a long time in the sacred hall end, that dark coffin in the platform of sacred image under foot traverse, the cover of coffin opened, in the past actually stood in Bishop Ivan who in the coffin rested in the one side, is looking up to the Agatha direction. 死亡之神巴托克的圣像静静伫立在圣堂尽头,那口黑沉沉的棺木在圣像脚下的平台上横放着,棺材的盖子打开了,往常都在棺材中休息的伊凡主教却站在一旁,正抬头看向阿加莎的方向。 This entangles the full bandage like the mummy whole body, only then an eye exposition bishop outside is throwing over a long gown of black bottom gold-edged today, in hand rigid monk's staff, in Agatha, his driving opens the mouth: „I had heard the Dagger Island matter.” 这位如同木乃伊般全身缠满绷带,只有一只眼睛暴露在外的主教今天披着一件黑底金边的袍服,手中执着锡杖,在阿加莎靠近之后,他主动开口:“我已经听说了匕首岛的事情。” „Can look, you must personally preside over the conference,” Agatha nods, but a little worried, „body can support?” “看得出来,伱要亲自主持会议了,”阿加莎点点头,但又有点担忧,“身体撑得住吗？” Bishop Ivan lifts the hand, in the slits of bandage, as if there is iron grey mist gradually to flutter. 伊凡主教抬起手,在绷带的缝隙间,似乎有灰白色的雾气缓缓飘出。 „Body and will have one to support on the line.” “身体和意志有一个撑得住就行。”
