Walks on Zoutlan Street, is blowing the hot and damp breeze, high-spirited Klein thought of a matter suddenly: 走在佐特兰大街上,吹着湿热的微风,意气高昂的克莱恩忽然想到了一件事情: The body only remained 3 pennies pocket money, sat public carriage to return to Iron Cross Street to take 4 pennies, but gave change to the opposite party with 1 gold pound paper money, before own cross over took 100 to buy the bottle of low-cost mineral water, had other means that really could not lag behind that face. 身上只剩三便士的零钱了,坐公共马车返回铁十字街则要四便士,而拿一金镑的纸币给对方找零,就像自己穿越前拿100块买瓶低价矿泉水一样,不是没有别的办法,实在拉不下那个脸。 „Sits 3 kilometers with 3 pennies, do the other distances walk?” Klein inserts the pocket single-handed, slows down the footsteps, ponders over other ways. “用三便士坐三公里,余下的路程走回去？”克莱恩单手插兜,放缓脚步,思忖起其他方式。 „It is not good!” Quick, he overruled the previous idea. “不行！”很快,他就否决了前一个想法。 The other distances light/only depend, a while, has 12 pounds „great sum of money” in situation, is unsafe! 余下的路程光靠走,得好一阵子,身怀12镑“巨款”的情况下,太不安全了！ Moreover before was worried that the revolver by the Night Watcher convenient confiscation, has not been brought today intentionally on the body, really encounters the danger that the death of what Welch leads, will not have the strength of resistance! 而且之前担心左轮被“值夜者”顺手没收,今天故意没带在身上,真遇到什么韦尔奇之死引发的危险,将毫无反抗之力！ „Looks for the bank to change into the pocket money in the nearby? No, is not good, 5/1000 handling charges, were too luxurious!” Klein silent shakes the head, light/only the handling charge that thinks possibly to pay feels to love dearly! “在附近找银行换成零钱？不,不行,千分之五的手续费,太奢侈了！”克莱恩无声摇头,光想一想可能付出的手续费就觉得心疼！ The means like this are removed, Klein suddenly at present one bright, saw the family/home clothes hat shop! 办法就这样一个个被排除,克莱恩突然眼前一亮,看到了家衣帽店！ Right, isn't the most normal mentality buys the price appropriate thing to give change? 对啊,最正常的思路不就是买价格合适的东西找零吗？ The formal dress, shirt, waistcoat, pants, leather boots and cane during the budget, buy early buy late must buy! 正装、衬衣、马甲、裤子、皮靴和手杖都在预算之中,早买迟买都得买！ Un, the clothing must try very troublesome, moreover Benson understood compared with me, meets the counter-offer, can wait for him to come back to consider again...... 嗯,衣物要试很麻烦,而且班森比我更了解,也更会还价,可以等他回来再考虑…… Does that buy the root cane? 那买根手杖？ Good! Had a proverb to say well, the cane was the gentry best self-defense weapon, can work as half crow bar to use, forms of combat that trail arms took the stick is the civilized person! 不错！有句谚语说得好,手杖是绅士最好的防身武器,能当半个撬棍用,一手提枪一手拿杖才是文明人的战斗方式！ The train of thought that Klein sets firm resolve numerous, half revolution of body, turned into that „Wilcker Clothing Store”. 思绪纷呈间,克莱恩下定了决心,半转身体,拐入了那家“维尔克尔衣帽店”。 The clothing store before layout and his cross over of clothes hat shop looks like very much, the left depends on the wall is a row of formal dress, the center is shirt, pants, waistcoat and tie and other things, the right side has one both to place leather shoes and leather boots in the glass cabinet. 衣帽店的布局和他穿越前的服装店很像,左边靠墙是一排正装,中央是衬衣、裤子、马甲和领带等事物,右侧有一双双放在玻璃柜里的皮鞋、皮靴。 „Mister, what do you want to buy?” The male sales clerk who wears the white shirt and red waistcoat welcomed, the politeness asked. “先生,您想买什么？”一名穿白衬衣、红马甲的男性店员迎了过来,礼貌发问。 In Ruen Kingdom, because there is a position to have the power and influence on have the gentlemen of wealth, likes wearing the white shirt black waistcoat black pants black formal dress, the color quite monotonous, therefore the male servant, sales clerk and server class was requested color gorgeously, or colorful, to differentiate master and servant or in any case. 在鲁恩王国,因为有地位有权势有财富的绅士们,喜欢穿白衬衣黑马甲黑裤子黑正装,色彩相当地单调,所以男性的佣人、店员和服务生阶层就被要求身上颜色得艳丽,或者多彩多姿,以区分主仆或贵贱。 What with this relative is, the madames and young ladies women's clothing tone varies, the decoration is magnificent, the maid can only match black white, or white Peihei. 和这相对的是,夫人和小姐们衣裙色调各异,装饰华丽,女仆则只能黑配白,或者白配黑。 Facing question of male sales clerk, Klein thought deeply about evil ways: 面对男性店员的发问,克莱恩思索了一下道: „Walking stick, a little heavy, and a little hard.” “手杖,沉一点,硬一点。” Can hit to explode of others dog head! 能打爆别人狗头的那种！ The sales clerk of red waistcoat hid to size up Klein one, getting him to enter in the shop, is pointing at corner that row of cane say/way: 红马甲的店员隐蔽打量了克莱恩一眼,领他进入店内,指着角落那排手杖道: „embeded with gold that manufactures with iron heart wood, is very heavy, is very hard, 11 shilling 7 pennies, do you want to try?” “镶嵌有黄金的那根是用铁心木制作的,很重,很硬,11苏勒七便士,您要试一试吗？” 11 shilling 7 pennies? Don't you snatch? Inlaying a gold is great? Klein had a scare by the price. 11苏勒七便士？你们怎么不去抢？镶点黄金了不起啊？克莱恩被价格吓了一跳。 His surface maintains composure, the slight nod said: 他表面不动声色,微微点头道: „Good.” “好的。” The red waistcoat sales clerk takes down that iron heart wood cane, gave Klein cautiously, feared that he was injured by falling down the appearance of cargo. 红马甲店员取下那根铁心木手杖,小心翼翼递给了克莱恩,一副怕他摔坏了货物的模样。 Klein just received the cane, felt that heavy, is trying moving, discovered oneself are impossible the degree of achieving brandishes smoothly. 克莱恩刚接过手杖,就感觉到了沉重,试着动了动,发现自己不可能做到顺利挥舞的程度。 „Was too heavy.” Klein shakes the head while relaxes. “太重了。”克莱恩边摇头边松气。 This is not the excuse! 这可不是借口！ The red waistcoat sales clerk returns the iron heart wood cane, points at another three to say respectively: 红马甲店员放回铁心木手杖,又分别指着另外三根道: „This is walnut tree, by the Thengen most famous cane artisan Mr. Hess manufacture, 10 shilling 3 pennies...... this is driftwood, inlays the silver, and steel is equally hard, 7 shilling 6 pennies...... this is the tree heart manufacture of white poly tree, inlays the silver, 7 shilling 10 pennies......” “这是胡桃木的,由廷根最有名的手杖匠人黑斯先生制作,十苏勒三便士……这是水沉木的,镶银,和钢铁一样硬,七苏勒六便士……这是白博利树的树心制作的,也是镶银,七苏勒十便士……” Klein received to try one by one, discovered that the weight is quite appropriate, then, he counted on the fingers to knock knocking, roughly grasped the degree of hardness of each cane, finally, he chose cheapest that. 克莱恩挨个接过试了试,发现重量都比较合适,接着,他又屈指敲了敲,大致把握住了每一根手杖的硬度,最后,他选了最便宜的那根。 „On driftwood.” Klein points in the red waistcoat sales clerk hand to inlay the silver stick to say. “就水沉木的这根吧。”克莱恩指着红马甲店员手中镶银的杖头道。 „Good, Mister, please go that side to pay money with me. Later if this cane presents the attrition or the stain, can give us to help you process, free.” The red waistcoat sales clerk directs Klein to move toward the counter place. “好的,先生,请您跟我去那边付款。以后这根手杖如果出现磨损或污迹,可以交给我们帮您处理,免费。”红马甲店员引着克莱恩走向柜台处。 Klein while this opportunity, four gold pound launches the palm is gripping, takes out one of the small two. 克莱恩趁这个机会,将掌心攥着的四张金镑展开,取出较小两张之一。 „Hello, 7 shilling 6 pennies.” The sales clerk after counter salutes with a smile. “您好,七苏勒六便士。”柜台后的店员含笑行礼。 Klein wants to maintain the dignity of gentleman, when may take the left hand of 1 gold pound paper money is extending, cannot bear the opens the mouth: 克莱恩本想维持绅士的体面,可拿着一金镑纸币的左手伸出去时,还是忍不住开口了: „Can cheap?” “能便宜一点吗？” „Mister, this is handmade, our costs are very high.” Red waistcoat sales clerk in side reply, „. Moreover the shop owner is not, we do not have the qualifications to help him reduce prices.” “先生,这都是手工制作的,我们的成本很高。”红马甲店员在旁边回答,“而且店主不在,我们没资格帮他降价。” The sales clerk after counter follows to echo saying: 柜台后的店员跟着附和道: „Mister, sorry.” “先生,抱歉啊。” „Good.” Klein handed over the paper money, received stick black cane that from red waistcoat sales clerk there inlays the silver. “好吧。”克莱恩将纸币递了过去,从红马甲店员那里接过杖头镶银的黑色手杖。 The crevice that the waiting gives change, he withdraws several steps, spreads out, the small scope tried under „assistant weapon” swing effect. 等待找零的空隙,他退后几步,拉开距离,小幅度试了下“副手武器”的挥舞效果。 Wū! Wū! Wū! 呜！呜！呜！ The wind sound/rumor is very serious, has the sense of reality air-splitting, Klein nods satisfied. 风声很沉重,破空有质感,克莱恩满意地点了点头。 He goes to the front the line of sight, prepares to see the bill and coin, actually discovered that startled the red waistcoat sales clerk draws back by far, after the counter, that shrank the corner, sticks to that double-barreled shotgun that on the wall is hanging. 他将视线重新投向前方,预备着看见钞票和硬币,却愕然发现红马甲店员远远退开,柜台后那位则缩到了角落,紧贴着墙上悬挂的那把双管猎枪。 What Ruen Kingdom implements to the thermal weapon is half control policy, wants to hold a gun, must apply for „all weapons permit” or „hunting card”, no matter but which type, cannot have to launch in salvos the rifle and steam high pressure spears/guns and six machine guns and other arms control things. 鲁恩王国对热武器实行的是半管制政策,想要持枪,需申请“全类武器使用证”或“狩猎证”,但不管哪一种,都不能拥有连发步枪、蒸汽高压枪和六管机枪等军控事物。 „all weapons permit” can purchase and preserve any civil firearms at will, but obtains extremely troublesome, even if there is a merchant of certain position possibly unable to adopt the verification, „hunting card” relatively is easy, even if the farmer in suburb, can attain, but this kind of license is only restricted to use the hunting rifle, and person who some quantity limits, have the asset much thinly will apply for one, to do self-preservation under critical situation, for example present...... “全类武器使用证”可以随意购买和保存任何一种民用枪械,但获得极其麻烦,即使有一定地位的商人也可能通不过审核,“狩猎证”则相对容易,哪怕郊外的农夫,也能拿到,但这类执照仅限于使用猎枪,且有数量限制,不少薄有资产的人都会申请一个,以做危急情况下的自保,比如现在…… Two sales clerks who...... Klein looks at is full of the alert, the corners of the mouth twitched, hehe said with a smile dry/does: ……克莱恩看着充满戒备的两名店员,嘴角抽搐了一下,呵呵干笑道: „Good, this cane is suitable to wield, I am very satisfied.” “不错,这根手杖非常适合挥动,我很满意。” Saw him not to attack the intention, the sales clerk facial expression after counter relaxed, the bills and copper coin both hands that will look for a moment ago dispatched. 见他没有攻击意图,柜台后的店员神情放松了下来,将刚才找的钞票和铜币双手递出。 Klein has taken looking, sees two 5 shilling, two 1 shilling paper money and 5 pennies and a 1 penny copper coin, nods at heart. 克莱恩拿过瞧了一眼,见有两张五苏勒、两张一苏勒的纸币和一枚五便士、一枚一便士的铜币,心里不由点了点头。 Two seconds, he disregarded the vision of sales clerk, to is locating one by one to launch four paper money brightly, the confirmation forgery-proof pattern and watermark are unmistakable. 顿了两秒,他无视店员的目光,将四张纸币对着明亮处一一展开,确认防伪花纹和水印无误。 Completes all these, Klein puts away with the coin the bill respectively, takes the cane, held top hat same, the image-position gentleman went out of „Wilcker Clothing Store”, nearby sat public carriage of no track luxuriously, after transferred and amounts to 6 pennies expenditure one time, smoothly returned to the apartment. 做完这一切,克莱恩才将钞票和硬币分别放好,拿着手杖,扶了扶礼帽,像位绅士一样走出了“维尔克尔衣帽店”,奢侈地就近坐了无轨道的公共马车,经过一次换乘和总计六便士的花费,顺利回到了公寓。 Turns off the door, he counted to put in the desk drawer 11 pounds 12 shilling paper money repeatedly three times, then discovered the pistol that copper color rotating disk, wooden gripped. 关好房门,他将11镑12苏勒的纸币反复数了三次才放入书桌抽屉,然后找出那支铜色转轮、木制握把的手枪。 ding dong! 叮叮当当！ Five brass color bullets fell on the desk one after another, Klein will have the intricate detail and Sacred Emblem of Darkness silver „demon hunting bullet” squeezed in the rotating disk one after another. 五枚黄铜色的子弹相继落在了书桌上,克莱恩将有复杂花纹和黑暗圣徽的银色“猎魔子弹”一枚一枚塞入了转轮。 Similarly, his only stopper five, kept the prevention to harm the vacancy of firing, five normal bullets that remaining and took out a moment ago deposit in small iron box together. 同样的,他只塞了五枚,留出预防误击发的空位,剩下则和刚才取出的五枚正常子弹一起存放于小铁盒内。 pā! 啪！ The rotating disk closes up, Klein suddenly were many many security senses. 转轮合拢,克莱恩霍然多了不少安全感。 He loads the armpit hoister the revolver full of enthusiasm, buckles steadily, then repeatedly the movement that practices the trip to draw a pistol, the both arms worn out and aching continued on rest one again, until the weather will be dark, in the corridor presents the sound that the lessee takes a walk. 他兴致勃勃地将左轮装入腋下枪袋,稳稳扣好,然后一遍又一遍地练习解扣拔枪的动作,双臂酸软了就休息一阵再继续,直到天色将暗,过道里出现租客走动的声音。 Hū! Klein spat a foul air, returns the armpit hoister the revolver. 呼！克莱恩吐了口浊气,将左轮重新放回腋下枪袋。 Until this time, he changed the formal dress and waistcoat, put on the daily brownish yellow coat, the starting arm relaxing exercise. 直到这个时候,他才换下正装和马甲,披上日常的棕黄外套,做起手臂放松运动。 Dá, dá, dá, the sound of footsteps approaches, the key insertion locking hole, sways from side to side the sound to get up. 哒,哒,哒,脚步声靠近,钥匙插入锁孔,扭动之音响起。 Throws over mild-mannered black hair Melissa to push the door to enter, the nose slightly did not twitch obviously, her vision swept the stove that simply has not lit, the appearance in eye suddenly dim little. 披着柔顺黑发的梅丽莎推门而入,鼻子微不可见地抽动了一下,她的目光扫过根本没点燃的炉子,眼中的神彩突然黯淡了少许。 „Klein, I boiled the last night remaining food together, Benson will perhaps come back tomorrow.” Melissa turns the head to look to the Elder Brother. “克莱恩,我把昨晚剩下的食材一起煮一煮,班森也许明天就回来了。”梅丽莎转头望向哥哥。 Klein both hands insert the pocket, the thigh depend on the desk edge, the smile said: 克莱恩双手插兜,大腿靠着书桌边缘,微笑道: „No, we go out to eat.” “不,我们出去吃。” „Goes out to eat?” Melissa asked back startled. “出去吃？”梅丽莎愕然反问。 „Goes to Narcissus Flower Street ‚Silver Crown Restaurant’ how? I heard that the flavor is very good.” Klein put forward the proposal. “去水仙花街的‘银冠餐厅’怎么样？我听说味道很棒。”克莱恩提出了建议。 „But, but......” Melissa has not clarified the condition. “可,可是……”梅丽莎还是没弄清楚状况。 Klein smiled saying with a smile: 克莱恩笑了笑道: „Celebration I found the work.” “庆祝我找到了工作。” „Did you find the work?” The Melissa voice does not increase voluntarily, „may, but won't the interview of Thengen University be tomorrow?” “你找到工作了？”梅丽莎的嗓音不自觉变大,“可,可是廷根大学的面试不是明天吗？” „Other work.” Klein puts out that pack of paper money to say from the drawer with a smile, „they also paid in advance all my around wage.” “另外的工作。”克莱恩含笑从抽屉里拿出那叠纸币道,“他们还预支了我四周的薪水。” Melissa looks at that gold pound and shilling, the eye opens the main road very much: 梅丽莎看着那一张张金镑和苏勒,眼睛睁得很大道: „Goddess...... did you, they, you, what look to work?” “女神啊……你,他们,你,找了什么工作？” This...... the Klein facial expression stagnates, considers the language saying: 这……克莱恩神情一滞,斟酌着语言道: „Takes the antiques to seek, collect and protects for the security company of mission, they need the specialized adviser, five years of contract, every week 3 pounds.” “一家以古物寻找、收集和保护为使命的安保公司,他们需要专业的顾问,五年合同,每周三镑。” „......

Actually, it is also very good.” Melissa shows encourages the smile ; half th, to have doubts half asked curiously, „how will they pay in advance to you entire all around wage?” “……其实,它也很不错。”梅丽莎露出鼓励般的笑容,半是疑惑半是好奇地问道,“他们怎么会预支给你整整四周的薪水？” „Because we need to move, need more rooms, need own washroom.” The Klein corners of the mouth go up, let go to say. “因为我们需要搬家,需要更多的房间,需要属于自己的盥洗室。”克莱恩嘴角上翘,摊手说道。 He felt that oneself smiles impregnably, only the difference asks one „” pleasantly surprised. 他感觉自己笑得无懈可击,只差问一句“惊喜吗”。 Melissa startled, the language fast opens the mouth suddenly quickly, is slightly flurried: 梅丽莎怔了怔,突然语速很快地开口,略显慌乱: „Klein, we also live are actually good, I complained occasionally my washroom has not been only the custom, do you still remember Jenny? Before lived in our next door, since her father was injured, lost the work, has to move under the street, the family of five can only live in a room, the high and low bed rested three, the ground rests two, they are also thinking sublet the remaining that makeshift bed on the ground vacancies to others......” “克莱恩,我们住得其实还算不错,我偶尔抱怨没有自己的盥洗室也只是习惯,你还记得詹妮吗？以前住我们隔壁的,自从她父亲受伤,丢掉了工作,不得不搬去下街,一家五口人就只能住在一个房间内,高低床睡三个,地上睡两个,他们还想着把剩下的那个地铺空位分租给别人……” „Compared with her family/home, we very good to be very lucky, do not waste your wage at this matter . Moreover, I like the Mrs. Slim bread room very much.” “和她家比起来,我们很好很幸运了,不要在这件事情上浪费你的薪水,而且,我很喜欢斯林太太的面包房。” The script that the younger sister, your response and I estimates is different...... Klein to hear a face delay. 妹,你这反应和我预想的剧本不一样啊……克莱恩听得一脸呆滞。
