夜色深沉,那场纷纷扬扬的小雪一直下到了后半夜仍未停下,雪虽不大,却仍旧轻柔无声地覆盖了整座城——不算太厚的积雪如苍白的绷带,包裹着这座城市历经灾害之后的累累伤痕,将那些来不及愈合的东西皆遮掩起来。
The bloodstain that the destroyedconstruction, cleans upwithout enough time, the steamwalkie-talkie of abandonment, the street barricade of waitingdemolition, the siltation, cleans upnot to know that inentirecityalmost allcornersrequireshow muchtimedry„mud”.
被破坏的建筑,来不及清理的血迹,报废的蒸汽步行机,等待拆除的街垒,还有淤积在整座城市几乎所有角落、清理起来不知需要多少时间的干涸“泥浆”。
The mirrorinvasionabated, butthisVisiondisasterbrings„by-product”remainedin the cityin the form of entitymaterial.
镜像入侵消退了,但这场异象灾害带来的“副产物”以实体物质的形式在城市中留了下来。Churchhas pressed the flowcontrol after at nightfall the cityrevolution.教会已按流程接管入夜之后的城市运转。CarriesGuardian of inspection lampto alertis gazing at the street under curtain of night, anystrangesound that eachis unable completelyto be illuminated the dark corner and ear that transmitsby the gasstreet light.
携带提灯的守卫者们警醒地注视着夜幕下的街头,警惕着每一处无法完全被瓦斯路灯照亮的阴暗角落以及耳边传来的任何诡异声响。In the airis flutteringaura that fumigates with incense the combustion, standing night watchpastorin a soft voicetwitteringprayedhas the relievedstrength.
空气中飘动着熏香燃烧的气息,守夜牧师轻声的呢喃祝祷带着令人安心的力量。„Tonightas if is very tranquil......” a black clothesguardto stare at the gloomyplace on street, crossedwhisperedtopartnerfor a long timesuddenly, „Ialsothinktonightstillhad the fierce battle.”
“今天晚上似乎很平静……”一名黑衣守卫盯着街道上的阴暗处,过了许久才突然对身旁的伙伴嘀咕道,“我还以为今夜仍有恶战。”„Everyonethinks that”anotherlonghairedfemaleblack clothesguards the low voiceopens the mouth, on the inspection lamp that herwaistis hangingis also fixingseveralscripturescotton tape that with the sealing waxwrites all over the prayarticle, thiswas demonstratingsheis the team leader of thissquad, „after alljustexperiencedthatserioustranscendentdisaster, somemassivePriestsacrifices...... the protection of City-Statewill arrive in the bottomintonightproperly speaking.”
“所有人都这么认为的,”另一名长发披肩的女性黑衣守卫小声开口,她腰间悬挂的提灯上还用火漆固定着几段写满祈祷文的经文布带,这显示着她是这支小队的领队,“毕竟刚刚经历了那么严重的超凡灾害,又有大量神官牺牲……按理说城邦的防护会在今夜抵达最低点。”„Otherstanding night watchsquadshave not as if transmittedsituation——thisnightto linkwhistling soundnot to have.”
“其他守夜小队似乎都没传来情况——这夜里连一声哨声都没有。”„...... Tightens the nervein brief, beforeSunraises, cannotrelax.”
“……总之绷紧神经吧,在太阳升起之前,一刻都不能放松。”„Yes, Team leader.”
“是,队长。”Is called the femaleblack clothes of team leaderto guardnodsgently, looked that tonot far awayanothersquad that bustles about.
被称作队长的女性黑衣守卫轻轻点了点头,又看向不远处正在忙碌的另外一支小队。

精巧的黄铜香炉被细链吊起,香炉中向外逸散着缥缈的烟雾,一名寂静修士用熏香为街道赐福,轻声呢喃着死亡之神的祷文,几名随行的低阶神官则小心翼翼地用刮刀和玻璃瓶收集着附近墙壁、路灯柱和地面上的黑色淤泥样本。
After theseis dry„mud”has completely lost the activeness, will not present the fearsomeabnormalappearance, when the shaving knifecuts openitssurface, the sense of reality that theypresentlikesometypesubariddoes not do and structureexquisite...... „pigment”.
那些干涸之后的“泥浆”已经完全失去活性,再也不会呈现出可怖畸形的模样,当刮刀切开其表面的时候,它们呈现出的质感就像某种半干不干而又结构细腻的……“颜料”。„Yousaid how manythistypes...... inthiscity the presentcanhave‚sludge’?”
“你说……这城里现在得有多少这种‘污泥’?”Shecannot bearturn headsaidtosubordinatewhisper.
她忍不住回头对身旁的手下嘀咕道。„Whoknowsin——it is saidsurfacethesefew, in the sewer and subwayare the disaster area, severalsewage treatment plants, theseplaces were almost piled up withbythistype of silt. City hallthat sidepresentonegroup of chaotic, does not know how longthismustclean up.”
“谁知道呢——据说地表上这些还是少的呢,下水道和地铁里才是重灾区,还有几个污水处理厂,那些地方几乎被这种淤泥堆满了。市政厅那边现在一团乱,也不知道这要清理多久。”„Cleaning upsludge...... at leastthisismost relaxedtroubled, femaleteam leader who wemustface”sighedgently, looked upto the streetend, „the trouble that presentCold Frostmustfacemayhavethesestrangemudincessantly.”
“清理污泥……至少这已经是我们要面对的最轻松的麻烦了,”女队长轻轻叹了口气,抬起头看向街道尽头,“现在寒霜要面临的麻烦可不止有这些诡异的泥浆。”Nearbyblack clothesguardshearswordalsoto raise the headsubconsciously, looked that todirection that Chiefoneselfgazes.
旁边的黑衣守卫闻言也下意识抬起头,看向自己队长注视的方向。Thatisharbor area of City-Stateedge, therebrilliantly illuminated, transmits the soundindistinctly.
那是城邦边缘的港口区,那里灯火通明,隐约传来声响。„Yes, mayhave the mud...... black clothesguardto whisperincessantly”, the tonestrangebringsintense, „an entireSea Mistfleetalsogathers roundthiscity.”
“是啊,可不止有泥浆……”黑衣守卫嘀咕着,语气古怪中带着一丝紧张,“一整支海雾舰队还围着这座城市呢。”
......
……Easternharbor area, brilliantly illuminated, a babel of voices.
东部港口区,灯火通明,人声鼎沸。Inonlyas the entirebattleresisted the monsterinvasionthroughoutandcontinually the harbor of revolution, Donggangafter the fightended was still maintainingbusily.
作为整场保卫战中唯一一座始终抵挡住了怪物入侵并持续运转的港口,东港在战斗结束之后仍维持着忙碌。Alldocks and engineering machinerywere used, the staff of allremainingample forcesmustwork overtime , conducted the temporary repairinseveralwharves that in the daytimefightare damagedmildlyat the maximum speed, tosupplythesesituationgoodshipsto approach shore the conditioning.
所有的船坞和工程机械都被用上,所有尚存余力的工作人员都要加班,在白天的战斗中轻度受损的几个码头也以最快的速度进行了临时修复,以供那些情况较好的舰船靠岸修整。Tomanypeople in city, the fighthad ended, tonightistheyrestore the spirit and healingwound the time, butto the Cold Frostnavy and port back-upunit, the fightstillcontinued——to have the massiveshipsheavy lossesurgently neededservice, lots ofwounded personneedto treat, moreovercompared withthesethings, they have oneto be thornier, a more complexsituationto needto face:
对城市中的许多人而言,战斗已经结束,今夜是他们恢复精神、愈合伤口的时候,但对寒霜海军以及港口后勤单位而言,战斗仍然持续着——有大量的舰船重创急需维修,大量的伤员需要治疗,而且比起这些事情,他们更有一个更加棘手、更加复杂的情况需要面对:Sea Mistfleet, theirtoday'stemporaryallies, theirdeepnightmaresover the past 50 years.海雾舰队,他们今日的临时战友,他们过去50年的深沉噩梦。Thatbiggeststrongest, letcountlessCold Frostpeoplein the past 50 yearsbringsto frighten the child„Ghost Ship”, at this timestoppedby a Donggangbiggestwharf.
那艘最大最强,在过去50年里让无数寒霜人拿来吓唬小孩的“幽灵船”,这时候就停在东港最大的一座码头旁。

巍峨的舰首在夜幕中高耸,甲板炮台与舰桥建筑在风雪中露出宛若鬼怪般的剪影,灯光从岸边打在装甲带上,反射出令人联想到骸骨的苍白反光,而在那钢铁巨兽的侧面,朝向寒霜的船舷边缘,宽阔的布幔在风中摆动,上面用粗犷的方式写着一看就是临时涂鸦上去的文字——„Sea Mist Risk Investment FirminCold Frosttemporaryvisitinspection vessel.”
“海雾风险投资公司驻寒霜临时访问考察船。”Even ifhas said goodbye the Cold Frostsoldier of great storms, withoutseeingthisweaponry——, no matter whatwhowalkedat this timefrom the wharf, muststare attheseroughlarge charactersto look atfor quite a while, andis suppressingto the impulsion that oneselfseveralbig mouthfemale genitalssober.
哪怕是再见过大风大浪的寒霜军人,也没见过这种阵仗——任谁这时候从码头走过去,都得盯着那些粗犷的大字看半天,并且强忍着给自己几个大嘴巴子清醒清醒的冲动。„Captain,”first mateEdenpasses through the deck, arrivesis standingTyrian that looks into the gunwaledownwardbehind, „bannerhas hung, according toyousaid that as far as possibleappearsfriendly.”
“船长,”大副艾登走过甲板,来到正站在甲板边缘向下眺望的提瑞安身后,“横幅已经挂出去了,按您说的,尽量显得友好一点。”Tyrianun, actuallyraised the handreferred to belowwharfgroundtheseonce for a whilenearSea Mist the soldier and worker who stopto stayandwait and seeanxiously: „But do Ilook atthemprobablyamveryanxious?”提瑞安嗯了一声,紧接着却又抬手指了指下方码头地面上那些时不时在海雾号附近驻足停留、不安观望的士兵和工人:“但我看他们好像还是挺紧张?”„Does not know that what's the matter, probably this Cold Frostperson of agecomparesonestartledonefor the first time,”Edenflexuresmoothhead, „, or did Igo with sayonehand/subordinate?

“不知道怎么回事,大概这年代的寒霜人都比较一惊一乍吧,”艾登挠了挠光溜溜的脑袋,“要不我去跟手下说一声?让他们下去把那些在附近围观的都赶走?”„...... Does not need,”Tyrianto think, shakes the head, „father'sinstructiondo not have the conflictwith the City-Stateaspectagain, thistensetime, leftagainexcitingthesestartledfor the first timeCold Frostpeople.”
“……不必,”提瑞安想了想,摇摇头,“父亲的吩咐是不要再跟城邦方面起冲突,这种紧张时刻,还是别再刺激这些一惊一乍的寒霜人了。”Edenshrugs: „Good, sinceis the order of oldCaptain.”
艾登耸了耸肩:“好吧,既然是老船长的命令。”„Everyoneconditionhow?”Tyrianinsilentalsoaskeda moment latersuddenly, „Imeant, the secondissue of sailors.”
“大家状态怎么样?”提瑞安则在沉默片刻之后突然又问道,“我是说,第二期的水手们。”„......

“……哎,时隔半个世纪,又一次回到了这个熟悉的地方,”艾登轻轻叹了口气,感慨着说道,“说船上一片平静那是假的——现在基本上每个舱室里都在讨论这次靠岸,在讨论跟寒霜海军再次打交道的事情,连一期的水手都受了影响,在跟他们一起讨论。„Somepeopleanticipated,somepeopleconflict, butmorepeoplearevacant, howbecausepreviouslyeveryonenever hadto conceivethis day to be a situation, but...... everyonewill supportyourdecision, theyare waiting foryourorder.”
“有人期待,有人抵触,但更多的人是茫然,因为此前大家都从来没设想过这一天会是怎么个情况,不过……所有人都会支持您的决定,他们在等待您的命令。”Tyrianhas not spokensuddenly, but before the mindas ifappeared, in that on the bridgesaw.提瑞安一时间没有说话,只是脑海中仿佛又浮现出了之前在舰桥上看到的那一幕。
The queenorders——„to defendCold Frost”afterhalf a century ofsecond.
女王时隔半个世纪的第二道命令——“保卫寒霜”。Thatreal? Thatis the strength that the queenleaves behind, is the pureillusion?
那到底是不是真的?那是女王留下的力量,还是单纯的幻觉?This seems to be unimportant.
这似乎已经不重要了。
The queenonceorderinglet the Sea Mistfleetfar away from the Cold Frostmain island, butnowadays, heled the fleetto return tohere, perhaps...... queen'spastorder, reallyforpresentthis day.
女王曾下令让海雾舰队远离寒霜本岛,而现如今,他又带领着舰队回到了这里,或许……女王当年的命令,真的就是为了如今这一天。„No matter howsaid,wecomethis,”Tyrianshouted the tonegently, the gas that in the oronasalsexhalesconcentrates the white fogin the cold night, „herecommanderwantsto entertain‚ally’, good, Ialsotrulyshouldgoto greetwiththem.”
“不管怎么说,我们来此一趟,”提瑞安轻轻呼了口气,口鼻间呼出的气体在寒夜中凝成白雾,“这里的指挥官想招待一下‘战友’,也好,我也确实应该去跟他们打个招呼。”„Wantsmeto accompanyyouto go?”
“要我陪您去吗?”„Un, and has severalfellow—— that againhas good manners the numbermustreach an agreementwiththemahead of time, thistime, weare notfight.”
“嗯,另外再多带几个懂礼数的家伙——要提前跟他们说好,这一次,我们不是来打架的。”„Good,”Edennods, thencould not bear asked that „volume, what the entouragealsodid haveto request?”
“好,”艾登点点头,接着又忍不住多问了一句,“额,随行人员还有什么要求吗?”Tyrianthinks: „......

“好的,船长。”
......
……In the harbordefenseoffice, protectscommander-in-chiefListerto reorganize the ownuniform/subdue and medalfor the last time.
港口防务办公室内,防护总指挥官李斯特正在最后一次整理自己的制服和勋章。Hehasto see the magnificent scene, even if as a well-trainedcareer military, hewill still feeluneasyto„scene that”thenmustface.
他并非没有见过大场面,但即便身为一名训练有素的职业军人,他也不免会对接下来要面对的“场面”感到一丝忐忑不安。
It is not because the sceneis too big, because unprecedented.
不是因为场面太大,而是因为前所未有。Hemustmeet——aftercontinuing50years of confrontation and hostility of the leader of Sea Mistfleet, in the past„”rebel of thatfromCity-State the fleetreturned tohere.
他要与海雾舰队的领袖见面——在持续了五十年的对峙与敌意之后,当年那支从城邦中“叛逃”的舰队又回到了这里。NowinCity-Statemanyplaces were still in chaos, missing of Magistratemade the city hallbadly battered, butunder the sochaoticsituation, hestillarrangedthisspecialreceptioneven.
如今城邦中许多地方仍然是一片混乱,执政官的失踪让市政厅焦头烂额,但即便在如此混乱的局势下,他仍然安排了这场特殊的接待。Becauseheknows,presentCold Frostcould not have experiencedanymore furtherdamage, no matter how that side the city hallofficials and advisersthink,hemuststand firm——thatfearfulGhost Spiritfleet, if, merelyisif, ifmustwiththat„bigpirate”reconciliation, at this momentperhapsalsobe the onlyopportunity.
因为他知道,如今的寒霜已经经历不起任何更进一步的损伤,不管市政厅那边的官员和顾问们怎么想,他都必须把那支可怕的幽灵舰队稳住——如果,仅仅是如果,如果要跟那位“大海盗”和解的话,此刻恐怕也是唯一的机会。Ties the lastknot, Listerbreathes a sigh of reliefgently.
系上最后一枚扣子,李斯特轻轻舒了口气。Afterwardhelowers the head, takes upto represent the newmedal of generalpostfrom the table, is gazing at the aboveeachtracetranquilly.
随后他低下头,从桌上拿起代表着将军职衔的新胸章,平静地注视着上面的每一道纹路。„...... Firing linepromotion...... alsogood, mustsomepeoplego against.”
“……火线晋升啊……也好,总得有人顶上。”Heraised the head, to the mirror, is fixing the medalon the clothescarefully.
他抬起头,对着镜子,仔仔细细地将胸章固定在衣服上。
