Tyrian stands on the bridge that Sea Mist stands tall and erect, the vision by the broad window, is gazing at the boundless sea of distant place. 提瑞安站在海雾号高耸的舰桥上,目光透过宽阔的窗口,注视着远方的茫茫大海。 That is Dagger Island direction —— but there only has once had a stretch of broad sea level now, as well as several were still searching the clue unproductive the detection ship. 那曾经是匕首岛的方向——但现在那里已经只剩下一片宽阔的海面,以及几艘仍然在徒劳地搜查线索的侦查艇。 Dagger Island vanished such a long time, no matter the Cold Frost person or the Sea Mist fleet, cannot discover anything in this sea area. 匕首岛消失了这么长时间,然而不管是寒霜人还是海雾舰队,都没能在这片海域发现任何东西。 The big pirate sighed, turns around to leave the bridge, later entered in own Room Captain —— on the desk of Room Captain, is placing an antique oval-shape mirror, this mirror and Sea Mist overall advanced style appeared incompatible. 大海盗叹了口气,转身离开了舰桥,随后走进自己的船长中——在船长的书桌上,正摆放着一面古香古色的椭圆形镜子,这镜子与海雾号整体的先进风格显得格格不入。 Before Tyrian arrives at this mirror, looks in the mirror the own inverted image, seems a little hesitant. 提瑞安来到这面镜子前,看着镜子中自己的倒影,显得有点犹豫。 However quick, he then throws into the one side this hesitant, put out a hand to take out from the drawer for holding the carving flower candlestick of ceremony, and placed in front of it the mirror. 不过很快,他便把这点犹豫抛到一旁,伸手从抽屉里取出了用于举行仪式的雕花烛台,并将其放在镜子前面。 „Sea Mist called Vanished......” Tyrian to mutter in a soft voice, at this moment, he thought that oneself on Vision by Boundless Sea was misled to fall into the crazy seaman like these, in demented finally frequently offers the sacrificial offering, must summon terrifying power —— of dark deep place, but the fact as if could not miss many, he must summon, but also was really this sea area most makes the terrifying power that one was panic at the news. “海雾号呼叫失乡号……”提瑞安轻声咕哝着,这一刻,他觉得自己就像那些被无垠海上的异象蛊惑而陷入疯狂的海员,在癫狂的最后时刻献上祭品,要呼唤黑暗深处的恐怖力量——而事实似乎也差不了多少,他要呼唤的,还真是这片海域最令人闻风丧胆的恐怖力量。 But that strength exactly is his father. 只不过那力量恰好是他的父亲罢了。 The candlestick lit spontaneously, the bright flame is jumping above the candle, the light shadow reflects in the mirror, Tyrian a little looks at that small flame anxiously, saw it to jump several, later caught one rapidly quiet green, then knows that own called met the response smoothly. 烛台自发点燃了,明亮的火焰在蜡烛上方跳跃着,光影倒映在镜子中,提瑞安有点紧张地看着那小小的火苗,看到它跳跃了几下,随后迅速染上一层幽绿,便知道自己的呼叫顺利得到了响应。 The oval mirror surface catches flame rapidly, the mirror center becomes jet black like black ink, the Tyrian own form disappeared in the mirror, a moment later, another form appears —— that to keep the Duncan main body on Vanished. 椭圆镜面迅速染上一层火焰,镜子中心则变得漆黑如墨,提瑞安自己的身影在镜子中消失了,片刻之后,另一个身影则从中浮现出来——那正是留在失乡号上的邓肯本体。 In the Duncan hand is taking a piece of bread, he raised the head, looked at mirror here one: „Am I preparing to eat lunch —— you to eat?” 邓肯手中正拿着一块面包,他抬起头,看了镜子这边一眼:“我正准备吃午饭——你吃了吗？” „Eh...... did not have.” Tyrian gawked, some too do not adapt replied why —— does not know, the father after retrieving humanity as if has some change quietly, his regards way seems so unusual, the good news is this regards way actually very cordial, but Tyrian too long has not naturally talked with the father, he still felt particularly irritably. “额……还没有。”提瑞安愣了一下,有些不太适应地回答道——不知为何,父亲在寻回人性之后似乎有一些悄然的改变,他的问候方式显得如此与众不同,好消息是这种问候方式其实十分亲切友好,可提瑞安已经太久没有和父亲如此自然地交谈,他仍感觉分外别扭。 „You should have the lunch on time, this is good to the body,” Duncan spoke thoughtlessly, „what matter asked me to have?” “你应该准时吃午饭,这对身体有好处,”邓肯随口说着,“找我有什么事？” „We had searched the Dagger Island peripheral trim sea area, has not discovered anything,” Tyrian calms down, returns in the attention the proper business, „the Cold Frost person is still persisting in searching, but I think that they will also make a futile effort.” “我们已经搜索了匕首岛周边的整片海域,没有发现任何东西,”提瑞安定了定神,把注意力放回正事上,“寒霜人还在坚持搜索,但我认为他们也会徒劳无功。” „Deep sea swallowed that island, the root of issue in underwater, the search in sea level does not have significance ——, but now the biggest problem is, we do not have the appropriate diving outfit,” Duncan shakes the head, „other, in the city now is also anxious, the Church aspect will widen the search range to second waterway —— quickly you could rest assured that I had sent to the warning to the you informers.” “深海吞掉了那座岛,问题的根源在水下,海面上的搜索没有意义——而现在最大的问题是,我们没有合适的潜水设备,”邓肯摇了摇头,“另外,城里现在也紧张起来了,教会方面很快就会把搜查范围扩大到第二水路——你放心,我已经给伱的线人们送去了警告。” Tyrian when heard Church to search the second waterway subconsciously anxious, but after hearing Duncan, half a word words then relax, he knits the brows: „They suspected that the heresy lair in city does hide in the second waterway?” 提瑞安在听到教会要搜索第二水路的时候下意识地紧张了一下,但听到邓肯后半句话便松了口气,紧接着他皱起眉:“他们怀疑城内的异端巢穴藏在第二水路？” „After all entire City-State in addition had been crossed one by them,” Duncan lifts the eyelid, „except for the second waterway, they have not been able to think.” “毕竟除此之外的整座城邦都已经被他们翻过一遍了,”邓肯抬起眼皮,“除了第二水路,他们已无法可想。” Tyrian knits the brows does not speak, Duncan sees that to ask: „What's wrong, what idea do you have?” 提瑞安皱眉不语,邓肯见状问道:“怎么,你有什么想法？” „...... I do not think that they can find the clue in the second waterway,” Tyrian shakes the head slowly, „, although my informer has not controlled the entire second waterway, but at least they very familiar that following situation, and controlled several key nodes, if really large quantities of Annihilationists hide under that and is held the large-scale ceremony...... I to receive the wind sound/rumor below to be right.” “……我不认为他们能在第二水路找到线索,”提瑞安慢慢摇了摇头,“虽然我的线人并没有控制整个第二水路,但至少他们很熟悉那下面的情况,并掌控了几个关键节点,如果真有一大批湮灭教徒藏在那下面,并且在下面举行大型仪式的话……我应该收到风声才对。” „Perhaps they hide is very good, the ceremony that also perhaps they hold had twisted all cognitive —— that informers who detect the sound had not discovered either, either discovered will be polluted, this causes you unable to receive the correct information.” “或许他们藏的真的很好,也或许他们举行的仪式已经扭曲了所有察觉到动静的线人的认知——要么没有发现,要么发现了就会被污染,这导致你收不到正确情报。” Tyrian nods slowly: „...... This truly is an explanation, after all you have confirmed in City-State to have the phenomenon of cognitive pollution.” 提瑞安慢慢点了点头:“……这确实是个解释,毕竟您已经确认了城邦内存在认知污染的现象。” „I will also pay attention to the second waterway,” Duncan in mirror said, „I am also very curious, where these Annihilationists hid in ——, if in this process discovered that your person met troublesome, I assisted as far as possible.” “我也会关注第二水路的,”镜子中的邓肯说道,“我也很好奇,那些湮灭教徒到底藏在了什么地方——如果这个过程中发现你的人遇上麻烦,我尽量相助。” „Thanked.” Tyrian lowers the head to say immediately. “非常感谢。”提瑞安立刻低头说道。 At this moment, the knock that hears suddenly interrupted the Captain indoor conversation. 就在这时,一阵突然传来的敲门声打断了船长室内的交谈。 „Some people looked for you,” Duncan in mirror noticed here sound, „, if were all right, you went to busy own.” “有人来找你了,”镜子中的邓肯注意到了这边的动静,“如果没什么事的话,你就去忙自己的吧。” „Good, father.” “好的,父亲。” The form in mirror abated, the flame of flame mirror surface edge diverges, the mirror front candlestick also returns to the original condition gradually. 镜子中的身影消退了,火焰镜面边缘的火焰散去,镜子前方的烛台也渐渐恢复原状。 Tyrian breathes a sigh of relief gently, felt that the pressure removes in the heart gradually, later knits the brows, sets out to open the door: „What's the matter?” 提瑞安轻轻舒了口气,感觉压力在心中渐渐褪去,随后皱了皱眉,起身去打开房门:“怎么回事？” „The express steamer that Cold Frost comes,” on a head the Undead sailor of hole stood in out of the door, salutes said that „they are hitting ‚non- force’ and ‚request contact’ flag and light signal, while depended, probably one crowd...... envoy.” “一艘寒霜来的快船,”一名脑袋上开了个洞的不死人水手站在门外,一边行礼一边说道,“他们打着‘非武力行动’和‘请求联络’的旗帜和灯光信号,一边靠了过来,好像是一群……使者。” „Envoy?” The Tyrian surprise was startled, but is quick, on his face then showed the having a relish expression, „this meaning...... they really could not a little have sat still actually.” “使者？”提瑞安诧异地怔了一下,但很快,他脸上便露出了饶有兴致的表情,“这倒是有点意思……他们还真坐不住了。” „Open fire?” The sailors quite anticipated that looks at own Captain. “开炮吗？”水手颇为期待地看着自己的船长。 „Opens —— to make them come,” Tyrian stared sailor one eyes , added that „only allowed three people to go on board, if were unacceptable, returning where came where went.” “开个屁——让他们过来,”提瑞安瞪了水手一眼,紧接着又补充道,“只允许三人登船,如果不能接受,哪来的回哪去。” Is hanging on the mechanical express steamer of Cold Frost City-State flag, wears the appropriate formal clothes, to bring near the gold thread the man of eyeglasses to stand in the bow deck, somewhat took the eye to scratch anxiously scratched, while looked up that in the steel battleship that in the field of vision enlarged unceasingly. 悬挂着寒霜城邦旗帜的机械快船上,一名穿着得体礼服、带着金丝边眼镜的男子站在船头甲板,一边有些紧张地拿下眼睛擦了又擦,一边抬起头望着那正在视野中不断放大的钢铁战舰。 Sea Mist was getting more and more near, its soaring bow on such as a mountain peak of float in icy seas, the brought constriction is even more intense, but in the surrounding sea level, floating ice in broken bits is similar some living creature to float and patrol in the sea water equally, even has the consciousness to revolve around the hull of mechanical express steamer, and is hitting water line nearby hull unceasingly. 海雾号越来越近了,它那高昂的舰首就如一座漂浮在冰海上的山峰,带来的压迫感愈发强烈,而在周围的海面上,细碎的浮冰就仿佛某种活物一样在海水中漂浮、游弋,甚至绕着机械快船的船壳有意识旋转,并不断撞击着水线附近的船体。 The ice sludge hits crashing of hull to sound abominable intent to be chaotic on own initiative, the nerve ties tight. 碎冰主动撞击船壳的碎裂声听上去令人心烦意乱,神经紧绷。 The confidential secretary could not bear and wipes the own eye, in the heart actually cannot help but appeared these, in Cold Frost City-State story —— all stories directly from master to disciple revolve the big pirate and sleep in curse and in the fog on open sea to be frozen become the sailor as well as a little friend of ice sculpture launch. 机要秘书忍不住又擦了擦自己的眼睛,心中却不由自主地浮现出那些在寒霜城邦口耳相传的故事——所有的故事都围绕着外海上的诅咒、雾中的大海盗、睡梦中被冻成冰雕的水手以及一顿一个小朋友展开。 „We are near enough,” the confidential secretary's near eyeglasses wears good the gold thread, inspires gently, said to accompanying military officer, „stops —— to proceed in this distance again, that battleship open fire.” “我们已经够近了,”机要秘书将金丝边眼镜戴好,轻轻吸了口气,对身旁的随行军官说道,“就在这个距离停下吧——再往前,那艘战舰该开炮了。” „Minimum speed, left steer!” The accompanying military officer has turned the head, to subpoenaing the sailor told loudly. “最低速,左转舵！”随行军官转过头,对传讯水手高声吩咐道。 The speed of mechanical express steamer falls all of a sudden, and adjusts the bow to face slightly, making oneself little and that huge steel battleship is parallel. 机械快船的速度一下子降了下来,并微微调整着船头朝向,让自己一点点和那艘庞大的钢铁战舰平行。 Meanwhile, that accompanying military officer is paying attention to the sound on Sea Mist. 与此同时,那名随行军官又关注着海雾号上的动静。 He noticed that on that battleship suddenly presented the light of twinkle, then the sailor appears in the broad side, is waving the flag toward the mechanical express steamer. 他看到那艘战舰上突然出现了闪烁的灯光,接着又有一名水兵出现在船舷,朝机械快船这边挥舞着旗帜。 „They sent the signal,” confidential secretary hurried to ask, „what meaning was?” “他们发信号了,”机要秘书赶紧开口询问,“是什么意思？” „Sea Mist accepted our request...... to thank heaven and earth, this signal that was the living person can understand,” accompanying military officer obviously relaxes , he then noticed that side that battleship put a boat, „, moreover they put the boat of transportation personnel.” “海雾号接受了我们的请求……谢天谢地,这次是活人能看懂的信号,”随行军官明显松了口气,紧接着,他便看到那艘战舰侧面又放下来一艘小船,“而且他们把转运人员的小船放下来了。” „God of Death blesses...... me also to think that they will fire off directly.” The confidential secretary also obviously relaxes, as first was sent and Sea Mist fleet negotiations „envoy”, although he before then prepared for is psychology that City-State was utterly loyal, at this time still arose spontaneously being survivor of disaster rejoicing. “死亡之神庇佑……我还以为他们会直接开炮。”机要秘书也明显松了口气,作为第一个被派来和海雾舰队谈判的“使者”,尽管他在来之前便做好了为城邦尽忠的心理准备,这时候仍油然而生了一种劫后余生的庆幸。 That boat that sent from Sea Mist then arrived by the mechanical express steamer of Cold Frost person quickly, on the boat sits the Undead sailors of several wear Old Age naval uniforms. 那艘从海雾号派来的小船很快便来到了寒霜人的机械快船旁,小船上坐着几名穿着旧时代海军制服的不死人水手。 On their arms conspicuous queen symbol as well as that uniform/subdue that are representing on a time are especially garish, but compares that appearance to blink, is they as the Undead honour. 他们胳膊上显眼的女王徽记以及那身代表着上个时代的制服格外扎眼,而比那身打扮更加眨眼的,是他们作为不死人的尊荣。 The two, on the head are opening large cave/hole, another person, the chest penetration, only seemed like no flesh wound —— actually to look like one to soak three days of corpses in the sea water swelling fearsome. 其中两人,脑袋上开着大洞,另有一人,胸口贯通,唯有一个看起来没什么外伤——却像一个在海水中浸泡了三天的尸体般肿胀可怖。 The Cold Frost sailor on mechanical express steamer saw that these Undead sailors somewhat are tense, after looks helplessly they step the Cold Frost ships, many people revealed the complex vision. 机械快船上的寒霜水兵见到这些不死人水手都有些紧张,而在眼睁睁看着他们踏上寒霜船只之后,不少人更是露出了复杂的目光。 However Undead have not cared about these live people obviously is what attitudes, they moved toward the scene to seem like the military rank highest person directly. 不过不死人们显然没有在意这些活人是什么态度,他们只是径直走向了现场看起来军衔最高的人。 „Who is a envoy?” “谁是使者？” „Is I,” brings near the gold thread the man of eyeglasses and wear short formal clothes to go forward immediately one step, he is controlling the anxiety in heart, controls the eye as far as possible excessively do not gaze on several Undead sailors fearsome characteristics, said with the tranquil tone diligently, „my name was Eddy Ruhr, came and Sea Mist fleet conversation on behalf of Cold Frost City-State.” “是我,”带着金丝边眼镜、穿着短礼服的男人立刻上前一步,他控制着心中的紧张,又控制着眼睛尽量不要过多注视几位不死人水手身上的可怖特征,努力用平静的语气说道,“我叫艾迪・鲁尔,代表寒霜城邦来和海雾舰队交谈。” „An officer?” That body swelling Undead sailor knits the brows, sized up confidential secretary eyes that says Eddy, in the tone bring teasing, „I also think that you will at least send several military representative —— present Cold Frost navies unable to discover several courage enough big soldiers?” “一个文员？”那身体肿胀的不死人水手皱起眉,打量了自称艾迪的机要秘书一眼,语气中带着调侃,“我还以为你们至少会派几个军方代表——现在的寒霜海军已经找不出几个胆子够大的士兵了？” Nearby along with marching public engraves the first half step, but before he opens the mouth, Eddy then put out a hand to block him. 一旁的随行军官立刻上前半步,但在他开口之前,艾迪便伸出手拦住了他。 „I am a envoy,” this civilian official who wears the gold-rimmed eyeglasses looks at the present Undead sailor, emphasized that „led me to see General Tyrian.” “我是使者,”这个戴着金丝眼镜的文职官员看着眼前的不死人水手,强调道,“带我去见提瑞安将军。”
