This feeling is very marvelous. 这种感觉很奇妙。 Duncan can feel clearly matter —— of distant place he can feel Vanished is fluttering on boundless Boundless Sea, that living Ghost Ship constantly is developing the route on nautical chart under a control of Goat Head, head not solid Cursed Doll roves in the cabin, as if the exploration is familiar with the environment on ship generally, the profound dark sea is fluctuating in periphery slowly, in the sea is hiding innumerably strange. 邓肯可以清晰地感觉到远方的事情——他能感觉到失乡号正在茫茫无垠海上飘荡,那活着的幽灵船正在一个山羊头的控制下不断开拓海图上的航路,有一个脑袋不怎么结实的诅咒人偶在船舱里转来转去,仿佛探险一般熟悉着船上的环境,幽深黑暗的大海正在周围缓缓起伏,海中隐藏着无数奇诡之物。 However in his another line of sight, oneself is sitting in Pland City-State Lower District Antique Store, the sounds of people and car(riage) sound on biography street hears, instead even more is serving as contrast the quietness in shop, a human girl named Nina sits opposite of oneself, the small mouth small mouth place is eating the Lower District cheapest cake. 然而在他的另一道视线中,自己正坐在普兰德城邦下城区的一间古董店内,街道上的人声、车声传入耳中,反而愈发衬托着店内的清静,一个名叫妮娜的人类女孩坐在自己对面,正小口小口地吃着下城区最便宜的蛋糕。 He is Captain Duncan, is Vanished control, motion disaster —— on Boundless Sea he same sits like the average person here, is having the own breakfast, places oneself in the gentle marketplace deep place. 他是邓肯船长,是失乡号的主宰者,无垠海上的移动天灾——他如普通人一样坐在这里,吃着自己的早餐,置身于平和的市井深处。 Does not know is the misconception, he feels in the oneself heart to have always to hang, always the anxious part to precipitate together little, that possibly long-term tight nerve on Ghost Ship, possibly is other anything, but he thought that this after all is not the misdemeanor. 不知是不是错觉,他感觉自己心中有一块始终悬着、始终不安的部分正一点点沉淀下来,那可能是在幽灵船上长期紧绷的神经,也可能是别的什么东西,但他觉得这总归不是坏事。 It seems like line of sight that notices side to transmit, is eating cake Nina to raise the head suddenly, she looked at Duncan curiously: „Doesn't Uncle Duncan, you eat?” 似乎是注意到旁边传来的视线,正吃着蛋糕的妮娜突然抬起头来,她好奇地看了一眼邓肯:“邓肯叔叔,你不吃么？” Duncan looked at food in opposite party tray: „Suffices you to eat?” 邓肯看了一眼对方盘子里的食物:“够你吃么？” „Sufficed, eating too much sweets is not good.” “够了,吃太多甜食不好。” „Un.” “嗯。” Duncan nods, takes up the cake to nip next, he feels this has not been tasting for a long time the rich flavor earnestly, feels the cheap sweet taste to melt —— in the mouth slowly then, clearly the sensation to food that this body starts to process eats. 邓肯点了点头,拿起蛋糕咬下一口,他认真感受着这许久不曾尝过的丰富味道,感受粗劣的甜味在口腔中慢慢化开——然后,清晰地感知到这具身体开始处理吃下去的食物。 In his heart stabilized a point slightly, knows that the situation such as oneself expects. 他心中微微安定了一点,知道情况如自己所料。 This body compared with that body that occupies for the first time temporarily „easy-to-use” —— it „components” complete complete, the death time was not long, the own soul control almost restarted the vitality in body seamlessly, before this, that broad-minded corpse was completely different. 这具身体比第一次临时占据的那副躯壳“好用”——它的“零件”完整无缺,死亡时间不长,自己的灵魂接管几乎是无缝重启了躯体中的生机,这和之前那个心胸开阔的尸体完全不同。 He currently has the breath, has the blood flow, the heart is also beating —— the speed, although beating seemed slow a point, but should also in the category of normal person. 他现在有呼吸,有血液流动,心脏也在跳动——虽然跳动的速度似乎慢了一点,但应该还在正常人的范畴。 Should not need to be worried about the body corrupt issue, saved planning that soaks the antiseptic, moreover as the matter stands , not easier to expose before the average person. 应该不必担心躯体腐败的问题了,也省了泡防腐剂的算计,而且这样一来,也更不容易在普通人面前暴露。 However Duncan is not quite a little definite. 不过有一点邓肯还是不太确定。 He knows that oneself this body should have disease —— in the memory, in swallowing obtaining, other memories is more profound than about the negative impression that the sinking sickness is encumbered . Moreover the strong liquor and pain killer that before found in the cabinet are also an evident proof. 他知道自己这具身体应该是有疾病的——在吞噬得到的记忆中,关于沉疴缠身的负面印象比其他所有记忆都要深刻,而且之前在柜子里找到的烈酒与止痛片也是个明证。 He does not know before this body, had what sickness, because the outbreak time and matter in outbreak cause seems very long beforehand memory, is slurred, but what is clear is that: At this moment, takes to the own weak feeling besides the average person physique, he had not felt that this body has any problem. 他不知道这具身体之前到底生了什么病,因为发病时间、发病诱因方面的事情似乎已经是很久以前的记忆,早已模糊不清,但有一点很明显:此时此刻,除了普通人体质带给自己的虚弱感之外,他并未感觉到这副身体有任何毛病。 Did the disease vanish? Because of the Spirit World Walk reason, this body already self-recovery? Soul that because projects in sensation eventually restricted, oneself actually cannot feel the issue of body, the healthy condition of this body actually also in unceasing deterioration? 疾病消失了？因为灵界行走的原因,这副躯体已经自愈？还是因为投射过来的灵魂在感知上终究受限,以至于自己其实感觉不到身体的问题,这副身体的健康状态其实还在不断恶化中？ Duncan thinking while is eating meal calmly, later suddenly looked at one to eat the thing opposite of oneself Nina: „Don't you need to go to school today?” 邓肯一边思索一边不动声色地吃着饭,随后突然看了一眼正在自己对面吃东西的妮娜:“你今天不用去上学么？” The Nina life in Lower District, the current economic condition said not good, but Pland City-State has developed the elementary education quite popular degree obviously, in the school that she now is jointly set up by Church and city hall goes to school, the specialized —— this school in main attack steam mechanism/organization can be regarded as one type „vocational high”, mainly to provide the skilled steam artisan to the factory and church. 妮娜生活在下城区,经济条件说不上好,但普兰德城邦显然已经发展到了基础教育较为普及的程度,她如今在由教会和市政厅联合开办的学校中上学,主攻蒸汽机关方面的专业——这种学校可以看做是一种“职业高中”,主要是为了向工厂和教堂输送熟练的蒸汽工匠。 Nina school expense half are paid by her uncle, other half subsidy from city hall. 妮娜的学费一半由她的叔叔支付,另一半则来自市政厅的补助。 Regarding City-State that develops the industrial age, even if trained matter —— that this artisan in aspect is also quite worth by the official subsidy, but is undeniable, this sense of purpose very explicit school also at least solved the eliminating illiteracy problem of civilians. 对于一个发展到工业时代的城邦而言,哪怕由官方补贴来培训这方面的工匠也是相当值得的事情——而不可否认的是,这种目的性非常明确的学校也至少解决了平民的扫盲问题。 Nina is very easy to learn, in her uncle's memory, this girl has the quite outstanding result in all curricula. 妮娜很好学,在她叔叔的记忆中,这个女孩在所有课程中都有着较为优秀的成绩。 „I did not have the class this morning,” Nina nods, „, only then afternoon two history lessons. Moreover in the afternoon I must go to say one with Mrs. White, for these days continuously in the dormitory......” “我今天上午没有课了,”妮娜点点头,“只有下午两节历史课。另外下午我还要去和怀特太太说一声,这几天不在宿舍住……” Duncan stopped the movement in hand suddenly, he looked at Nina one very much earnestly, asked: „You do not think that keeps this to take care of resembles people like me to delay a lot? You can live in the school for a long time, is perhaps more helpful to your studies.” 邓肯突然停下了手中的动作,他很认真地看了妮娜一眼,问道:“你不认为留在这照顾一个像我这样的人会耽误很多事情么？你可以长期住在学校的,那对你的学业或许更有帮助。” Nina was shocked, her some delay look at own „Uncle Duncan”, suddenly is angry: „You should not speak! You fell ill, according to doctor's suggestion took a drug on the good —— parents to entrust honestly you to me......” 妮娜愣住了,她有些呆滞地看着自己的“邓肯叔叔”,紧接着突然生气起来:“您不该这么说话！您只是生病了而已,老老实实按照医生的建议吃药就好——爸爸妈妈把你托付给我……” „Is your father mother entrusts you to me,” Duncan investigates the correct path very much earnestly, he uses the memory organization language in mind while opens the mouth, „at that time you were only six years old.” “是你的爸爸妈妈把你托付给我,”邓肯很认真地纠正道,他一边利用脑海中的记忆组织语言一边开口,“那时候你才六岁。” „But I am 17 years old, Nina is rousing the face now”, makes an effort to grip with the fork on the last scrap cake, „you look after own ability even might as well my ——, if I really move, you do not need for three days to be able the mess of the room making. In fact you can also make me help handle the shop front, at least cleaned up, display window dirty rapidness did not see clearly......” “但现在我十七岁了,”妮娜鼓着脸,用叉子用力扎在最后一小块蛋糕上,“您照顾自己的能力甚至还不如我——如果我真的搬出去,您不用三天就能把房间弄的一团糟。事实上您还可以让我帮忙打理店面的,至少打扫打扫卫生,橱窗都脏的快看不清楚了……” Duncan is somewhat listening to this girl reluctantly verbosely „rigid theorizing”, he has not thought oneself speaking thoughtlessly a few words „test” can bring the opposite party loudly to respond unexpectedly. 邓肯有些无奈地听着这个女孩絮絮叨叨的“说教”,他没想到自己随口一句话的“测试”竟然能带来对方这么大反应。 Slowly but, he actually cannot help but smiled. 但慢慢地,他却又不由得笑了起来。 He from this named „Nina” on the girl felt a temperature...... one type as if to bathe under the sunlight, warm temperature. 他从这个叫“妮娜”的女孩身上感受到了一种温度……一种仿佛沐浴在阳光下的,暖洋洋的温度。 „Good, I was speak thoughtlessly a saying,” he shakes the head, is mixing in the bowl the last soup while said that „how afternoon was the history lesson...... your recent history lesson to study?” “好吧,我就是随口一说,”他摇了摇头,一边搅动着碗里最后一点汤一边说道,“下午是历史课……你最近历史课学得怎么样？” „Uncle Duncan are you really all right?” Nina opened the eye surprisedly, „before you, always...... good, at least never inquired about me in the two years at the matter of school.” “邓肯叔叔您真的没事吧？”妮娜惊讶地睁大了眼睛,“您以前从来……好吧,至少这两年从来不过问我在学校的事情的。” Duncan opens mouth, just wants to say anything, front girl also said: „We were speaking the ancient history recently, Venerable Morris is talking about the Great Annihilation later matter...... to speak the truth to us, but also is very interesting, the ancient history sounded has many parts to be the same to the story, is more interesting than Modern history and contemporary history.” 邓肯张了张嘴,刚想说些什么,面前的女孩却又自顾自地说了下去:“我们最近在讲古代史,莫里斯老先生在跟我们讲大湮灭之后的事情……说实话,还挺有趣的,古代史听上去有很多部分都跟故事一样,远比近代史和现代史有意思。” Duncan thinks, a face is earnest: „Sounds you to study well? I tested you to be good, what was the related concept of Great Annihilation?” 邓肯想了想,一脸认真:“听上去你学得不错？那我考考你好了,大湮灭的相关概念是什么？” Today's Uncle Duncan is very strange, although cannot say that which is strange, but with ordinary different. 今天的邓肯叔叔很奇怪,虽然说不上来是哪奇怪,但就是跟平常不一样。 But Nina actually does not want too many —— compared with the uncle slightly strange words and deeds, this pure miss happier Uncle Duncan to hit the spirit at this moment finally, moreover is seemingly happy. 可妮娜却没有想太多——比起叔叔略显奇怪的言行,这个单纯的姑娘此刻更高兴邓肯叔叔终于打起了精神,而且看上去心情很好。 She was very happy, Uncle Duncan inquired exactly was the content that oneself just grasped. 她很高兴,邓肯叔叔提问的恰好是自己刚刚掌握的内容。 Therefore she has the self-satisfied smile, starts to tell to Duncan knowledge that oneself just studied: 于是她带着得意的笑容,开始向邓肯讲述自己刚刚学来的知识: „Great Annihilation happened in matter —— about 10000 years ago, although due to the unknown cause, the cultural inheritance quite unique national minority records the inconsistent time like the elf and dense/woods metal statue and Kipro person in the own calendar, but as a whole, archaeological community recognized Great Annihilation had the time the order era end 10,000 years ago......” “大湮灭是发生在距今约10000年前的事情——虽然由于不明原因,像精灵、森金人、吉普洛人这样文化传承较为独特的少数民族在自己的历法中记录着不一致的时间,但总体上,考古学界公认的大湮灭发生时间是在一万年前的秩序纪元末期……” Duncan calm listens at heart is being the question mark. 邓肯一脸平静地听着心里全是问号。 Elf? Woods metal statue? Kipro person? What situation is this? Originally on land not, only then a human intelligent ethnic group? Moreover elf...... this with the oneself understanding in „is elf” a concept? In Boundless Sea still has the life to be inadequate in elf City-State of steam industrial age? 精灵？森金人？吉普洛人？这是什么情况？原来陆地上不只有人类一个智慧族群？而且精灵……这跟自己理解中的“精灵”是一个概念么？无垠海中还存在生活在蒸汽工业时代的精灵城邦不成？ In his mind cannot help but appeared certain style very strange pictures, the Nina sound was still transmitting from the opposite: 他脑海中不由得浮现出了某些画风十分诡异的画面,妮娜的声音则还在从对面传来: „...... The record of each City-State to Great Annihilation has certain difference, but quite common partially is, the Great Annihilation beforehand order era is one is more prosperous , the stable and safe time the present, at that time had the extremely broad mainland, the sea area not like today limitless, and sea and land do not have so-called ‚the Reality border’ such end...... “……各个城邦对大湮灭的记载存在一定出入,但其中较为共同的部分是,大湮灭之前的秩序纪元是一个远比如今繁荣、稳定且安全的时代,当时存在极为广阔的大陆,海洋面积远不像今天这样漫无边际,且海洋与陆地都不存在所谓‘现实边境’这样的尽头…… „ The Great Annihilation later time is called ‚Deep Sea Age’, since Deep Sea Age has continued, and has not currently had the indication of conclusion. The Deep Sea Age most remarkable characteristics were Boundless Sea covered almost the whole world, but the land only had Old Age less than 10%, and was split as the every large or small islands or ‚in fog different boundary’, present many City-State then establish in the quite stable islands, but various types of open sea ships became in the islands to help supply each other, the method of inter. “大湮灭之后的时代被称作‘深海时代’,深海时代一直延续至今,且目前仍未有结束的征兆。深海时代最显著的特征是无垠海覆盖了几乎整个世界,而陆地仅剩下旧时代的不足10%,且都被分割为大大小小的岛屿或‘雾中异境’,如今的诸多城邦便建立在较为稳定的岛屿上,而各种远洋舰船则成为岛屿间互通有无、互相联络的手段。 „Early period Deep Sea Age, the Old World residual losing people suffered the heavy losses, the old civilization almost destroys completely, at first Ancient Kingdom Crete that rises from the ruins ‚’ is may test, Deep Sea Age earliest civilized first ancestor, although the duration of this ancient kingdom less than hundred years, actually stayed behind massively to the later generation heritage of far-reaching influence, includes most primitive shallow the classified means to Deep Sea Age many abnormal and Vision, as well as maintains massive valuable experience of survival at Deep Sea Age......” “在深海时代早期,旧世界残留的遗民们遭遇了重创,旧文明几乎全部毁坏,最初从废墟中崛起的‘克里特古王国’是距今可考的、深海时代最早的文明始祖,尽管这个古王国的持续时间不足百年,却留下了大量对后世影响深远的遗产,其中就包括对深海时代诸多异常和异象的最原始粗浅的分类办法,以及在深海时代维持生存的大量宝贵经验……”
