瞧,透过阳光看到的水印是如此的诱人,那精心设计的防伪标签让它与假冒的妖艳贱货截然不同！ Appreciated for dozens seconds, Zhou Mingrui extracted two shilling paper money, will be left over to curl, the stopper returned to the cushion internal band. 欣赏了几十秒,周明瑞抽出两张一苏勒的纸币,将剩下重新卷好,塞回了垫子内部的夹层。 Smooths crack nearby cloth strip, two paper money entire simultaneously that Zhou Mingrui will take out folds, admits in the brownish yellow coat left side pocket, in several penny separated laying aside with pants pocket. 抚平破洞附近的布条,周明瑞将取出的两张纸币整整齐齐折好,放进棕黄外套左侧的口袋中,与裤兜里的几枚便士分开放置。 Completes all these, he holds into right side the pocket the key, with the dark brown big paper bag, moved toward near the gate quickly. 做好这一切,他将钥匙揣入右侧口袋,拿上深棕色大纸袋,快步走向了门边。 Clip clop, dá, sound of footsteps from quickly to slow, finally stopped. 哒哒,哒,脚步声由快到慢,最终停了下来。 Zhou Mingrui stands near the gate, the brow does not know when had wrinkled. 周明瑞立在门边,眉头不知什么时候已皱了起来。 The Klein's suicide case has many suspicions, goes out like this, what can encounter „accident/surprise”? 克莱恩的自杀事件有不少疑团,就这样出去,会不会遭遇什么“意外”？ The ponder moment, Zhou Mingrui returns to by the desk, opens the drawer, put out that the twinkle brass gloss revolver. 沉思片刻,周明瑞返回书桌旁,拉开抽屉,拿出了那把闪烁黄铜光泽的左轮手枪。 This is the self-defense weapon that he can think of only, is the weapon of sufficient powerful! 这是他唯一能想到的防身武器,也是足够强力的武器！ Although he has never practiced the fire, but the light is pulls out this pistol, definitely can also frighten the person! 虽然他从未练过射击,但光是掏出这把手枪,肯定也能吓唬住人！ Stroked gently an ice-cold metal rotating disk, Zhou Mingrui squeezed in the pocket that the paper money was at the pistol, the palm grips the tight bill, the finger tight holding down rifle butt, perfect hidden. 摩挲了一下冰冷的金属转轮,周明瑞将手枪塞入纸币所在的口袋,掌心攥紧钞票,手指紧紧按住枪把,完美隐藏。 The security sense arises spontaneously, anything understand a little he emitted one to worry suddenly: 安全感油然而生,什么都懂一点的他霍然冒出了一个担忧: „Can fire by mistake?” “会不会误击发？” The idea streams, Zhou Mingrui soon found the mentality, he pulls out the take action spear/gun, the swayed flings the rotating disk toward left, will transfer because of that cylinder that „suicide” will vacate to treating the firing position, then pā will close up. 想法纷至沓来,周明瑞很快找到了思路,他抽出手枪,向左摆甩出转轮,将因“自杀”而空出的那个弹巢转至待击发位,然后啪地合拢。 As the matter stands, accidentally discharges even if, is only „blank”! 这样一来,哪怕走火,也只是“空弹”！ Plugged in the pistol, the left hand of Zhou Mingrui such inserts in the pocket, no longer put out. 重新塞好手枪,周明瑞的左手就那样插在了口袋里,不再拿出。 He used the right hand to press according to the hat, opened the front door, kuāng dāng. 他用右手按了按帽子,拉开大门,哐当而出。 The daytime corridor is still dim, the sunlight that the end window can infiltrate is quite limited, the Zhou Mingrui half step went to the staircase, leaves the apartment, feels bright and warm. 白天的走廊依旧昏暗,尽头窗户能透入的阳光相当有限,周明瑞快步下了楼梯,离开公寓,才感受到灿烂与温暖。 At this time although close to July, is the midsummer, but Thengen situated in Ruen Kingdom north, has the unique climate characteristics, one year of maximum temperature also Earth 30 degrees Celsius are less, in the morning is cool, but on the street some place sewage crossflows, the junks tumble, in Klein's memory, lower income group housing place, even if there is sewer, similar scene is not rare, because the person are many, because lives. 此时虽然临近七月,属于盛夏,但廷根位于鲁恩王国北方,有着独特的气候特征,一年最高温度也才地球30摄氏度不到,清晨更是凉爽,而街道上有些地方脏水横流,杂物乱丢,在克莱恩的记忆里,低收入阶层居住的地方,哪怕拥有下水道,类似的场景也绝不罕见,因为人多,因为生活。 „Comes, the delicious fragrance fries the meat fish!” “来来来,好吃的香煎肉鱼！” „Is hot and fresh oyster soup, in the morning drinks one bowl, the spirit one all day!” “又热又鲜的牡蛎汤,早上喝一碗,精神一整天！” „New fresh fish that harbor sends, so long as 5 pennies!” “港口送来的新鲜鱼,只要五便士一条！” „Small muffin and eel dashi match ginger beer!” “小松饼、鳗鱼汤配姜啤！” „Conch, conch, conch!” “海螺,海螺,海螺！” „Vegetables that outside city the village just collected, is cheap and fresh!” “城外农庄刚采集的蔬菜,又便宜又新鲜！” ...... …… Sells the vegetables, sells the fruit, sells the prepared food the mobile street to sell screams, is greeting the passers- by going on a trip in a hurry, in this, some will stop, quite purchases carefully, some do not wave patiently, because today's work did not have the whereabouts. 卖蔬菜,卖水果,卖熟食的流动街贩大声嚷嚷,招呼着行色匆匆的路人们,这里面,有的会停下来,仔细比较购买,有的则不耐烦挥手,因为今天的工作还没有着落。 Zhou Mingrui was hearing the odor and fragrance air continuously, the left hand is grasping the rifle butt firmly, grips the tight paper money, the right hand holding down edge rounding felt hat, bends the waist slightly, lowers the head across this piece of numerous noisy street. 周明瑞闻着恶臭和香味此起彼伏的空气,左手牢牢握着枪把,攥紧纸币,右手则按住圆边毡帽,略微弯腰,低头穿过这片纷闹的街道。 The person many places have the thief, poor who especially this block many semiunemployed does the temp job and urged hungry child. 人多的地方就有小偷,尤其这街区有不少半失业做临时工作的贫民和被人驱使的饥饿孩童。 Leads the way, after the surroundings crowd density returns to normal, Zhou Mingrui stiff back, raises the head again, looks to the street. 一路前行,当周围人群密度恢复正常后,周明瑞重新挺直腰背,抬高脑袋,看向街头。 There has the vagrant accordion musician to play, the melody is melodious from time to time, from time to time is warm. 那里有位流浪的手风琴乐师在演奏,旋律时而悠扬,时而热烈。 In his side, encircling was much ragged, facial color because of malnutrition and wax yellow children. 在他的旁边,围了不少衣着褴褛,面色因营养不良而蜡黄的孩子们。 They are listening to the music, with the tune, according to the instinct is swaying from side to side the body, danced the homemade dance, on the face was filling joyfully, like oneself was a princekin, was small Angel. 他们听着音乐,跟着节拍,按照本能扭动着身体,跳着自创的舞蹈,脸上充满了快乐,就像自己是个小王子,是个小天使。 An expression numb woman passes through, the skirt suspends dirtily, the flesh is dim. 一位表情麻木的妇女经过,裙摆肮脏,肌肤黯淡。 Her look is simple-hearted, but delay, when looks to that group of children, has the slight ray to flash through, as if saw 30 years ago. 她的眼神木讷而呆滞,只有看向那群小孩时,才有些微光芒闪过,似乎看到了三十年前的自己。 Zhou Mingrui surpassed her, turns to another street, stops before „Slim Bakery”. 周明瑞超过了她,拐向另一条街道,停在“斯林面包房”前。 The shop owner in bread room is 70 -year-old grandmas, is called Wendy Slim, the hair already completely grayish white, on the face always brims with the temperate smile, has memory to start from Klein, she sold bread and cakes and pastries here. 面包房的店主是位七十来岁的老奶奶,叫做温蒂?斯林,头发已经全部灰白,脸上总是洋溢温和的笑容,自克莱恩有记忆开始,她就在这里卖面包和糕点了。 Un, the Thengen cake and lemon cake that she bakes were delicious...... Zhou Mingrui to swallow a saliva, the smile said: 嗯,她自己烘焙的廷根饼、柠檬蛋糕非常好吃……周明瑞吞了口唾沫,微笑道: „Mrs. Slim, 8 pounds rye bread.” “斯林太太,八磅黑麦面包。” „, Small Klein, hasn't Benson, come back?” Wendy smiles to ask. “哦,小克莱恩,班森呢,还没回来？”温蒂笑眯眯问道。 „Several days.” Zhou Mingrui ambiguous reply. “还有几天。”周明瑞含糊回答。 Wendy the clip is taking rye bread, while sighed: 温蒂一边夹取着黑麦面包,一边感叹道: „He is really a diligent good young fellow, will have a good wife.” “他真是个勤奋的好小伙,会有个好妻子的。” At this point, her corners of the mouth rise, slightly said with a smile mischievously: 说到这里,她嘴角上扬,略显顽皮地笑道: „Now was good, you have graduated, our Khoy University history department graduate ~, you can make money quickly, you should not live in now such apartment, at least must have own washroom.” “现在好了,你已经毕业了,我们的霍伊大学历史系毕业生~嗯,你很快就能赚到钱,你们不应该住现在这样的公寓,至少得有个属于自己的盥洗室。” „Mrs. Slim, you really look like the young and lively woman today.” Zhou Mingrui can only the hollow laugh response. “斯林太太,您今天真像个年轻又活泼的女士。”周明瑞只能干笑回应。 If Klein can through the interview, become the Thengen University instructor smoothly, that entire family truly will rush directly well-off! 如果克莱恩能顺利通过面试,成为廷根大学的讲师,那整个家庭确实将直接奔向小康！ In his memory fragment, even had fantasized alone house that rents one set of leaning suburb, in building 5-6 room, two washrooms, a big balcony, downstairs two rooms, a restaurant, a living room, a kitchen, a washroom, an underground warehouse. 在他的记忆碎片里,甚至幻想过租一套偏郊区的独栋房屋,楼上五六个房间,两个盥洗室,一个大阳台,楼下两个房间,一个餐厅,一个客厅,一个厨房,一个盥洗室,一个地下储藏室。 This is not the expectation, Thengen University, even if the instructor of practice session, the weekly salary can also have 2 gold pound, after being put on regular status, is 3 gold pound 10 shilling , Brother Klein's Benson, worked for many years, the weekly salary also 1 pound 10 shilling, the ordinary worker even less than 1 pound of factory or just raised one's head, but such rent 19 shilling of alone house to 1 pound 18 shilling. 这不是奢望,廷根大学哪怕实习期的讲师,周薪也能有二金镑,转正后是三金镑十苏勒,要知道,克莱恩的哥哥班森,工作了好些年,周薪也才一镑十苏勒,工厂的普通工人甚至不到一镑或刚出头一点,而那样一座独栋房屋的租金19苏勒到一镑18苏勒不等。 „This was monthly salary 3-4 thousand and a monthly salary ten thousand 4-5 difference......” Zhou Mingrui whispered secretly one. “这就是月入三四千和月入一万四五的差别……”周明瑞暗自嘀咕了一句。 However, all these premises can through the interview of Thengen University or Beckland University. 然而,这一切的前提是能通过廷根大学或贝克兰德大学的面试。 As for other path, without the background person is unable to be recommended, becomes the public officials, but studies the history, the employment range is narrow, the private consultant demand of aristocrat or the banker and industrial tycoon are not many. 至于别的途径,没有背景的人无法得到推荐,成为公职人员,而学历史的,就业范围更是狭窄,贵族或银行家、工业大亨的私人顾问需求并不算多。 The knowledge that considering that Klein masters also turned into „fragment”, is not very complete, many incomplete, hoping of Zhou Mingrui to Mrs. Slim full is awkward and afraid. 考虑到克莱恩掌握的知识也变成了“碎片”,不够完整,很多残缺,周明瑞对斯林太太的期许就满是尴尬和心虚。 „No, I am such young.” Wendy humorous reply. “不,我一直都是这么年轻。”温蒂幽默回答。 During the speeches, she loaded the dark brown big paper bag of Zhou Mingrui bringing weighing good 16 rye bread, one right hands said: 说话间,她将称量好的十六条黑麦面包装入了周明瑞自带的深棕色大纸袋,一摊右手道: „9 pennies.” “九便士。” Each rye bread weight about 0.5 pound, but the deviation is inevitable. 每条黑麦面包的重量在0.5磅左右,而偏差不可避免。 „Didn't 9 pennies, couple of days ago take 11 pennies?” Zhou Mingrui asked subconsciously. “九便士,前两天不是要11便士吗？”周明瑞下意识问道。 Last last month took 15 pennies. 上上个月更是要15便士。 „You must thank abolishing of Grain Bill, thank the people of these parades.” Wendy both hands spread out to say with a smile. “你要感谢《谷物法案》的废除,感谢那些游行的人。”温蒂双手摊开笑道。 Zhou Mingrui appears to understand but not really understand nods, Klein memory regarding this is somewhat incomplete, only remembers that the Grain Bill core is to protect the price of its agricultural product, the price rises before the certain extent, does not import stems from southern Fenpot, Masic, Lunburg and other country's of the grain grain. 周明瑞似懂非懂地点头,克莱恩对此的记忆有些残缺,只记得《谷物法案》的核心是保护本国农产品的价格,价格上涨到一定程度前,不进口源于南方费内波特、马锡、伦堡等国的粮食谷物。 Why do some people need to parade to oppose it? 为什么有人要游行反对它？ Had not said, Zhou Mingrui feared carries over the revolver, can only pull out the paper money cautiously, takes out, gave Mrs. Slim. 没有多说,周明瑞怕带出左轮手枪,只能小心翼翼地掏纸币,取出其中一张,递给了斯林太太。 Retrieves three bronze penny, after squeezing in the pants pocket, he takes the clothing bread paper bag, toward separating a street „lettuce and meats” market set out, cooks the lamb mutton to try hard for the baby pea that the younger sister urged. 找回三个铜便士,塞入裤袋后,他提着装面包的纸袋,往隔了一条街的“莴苣与肉类”市场进发,为妹妹叮嘱的嫩豌豆炖羔羊肉而努力。 Iron Cross Street and position of Narcissus Flower Street connection has a Shizheng Plaza, at this time set up many tents, has to dress up strange funny Clown in all directions the leaflet. 铁十字街和水仙花街交汇的位置有一个市政广场,此时搭起了诸多帐篷,有装扮古怪好笑的小丑正四处散发传单。 „Tomorrow evening, does the circus troupe perform?” Zhou Mingrui looked at the circular in eye others hand, read the general content in a low voice. “明天晚上,马戏团表演？”周明瑞瞄了眼别人手中的传单,低声念出了大概内容。 Melissa definitely likes very much, does not know how the admission ticket does receive? The idea flashes, Zhou Mingrui closes up. 梅丽莎肯定很喜欢的,不知道门票怎么收？想法一闪,周明瑞靠拢过去。 He when inquired Clown of red yellow interaction, the body side hears together the hoarse female voice suddenly: 他正待询问其中一位红黄相间的小丑,身侧忽然传来一道沙哑的女声: „Wants divination?” “要占卜吗？” The subconsciousness turns head to look, Zhou Mingrui sees a low tent advance party the position to wear the peaked cap, to wear the woman of black long skirt. 下意识扭头望去,周明瑞看见一个低矮帐篷前站着位头戴尖帽、身穿黑色长裙的女人。 On her face is smudging the red and yellow greasepaint, pupils grey blue profound. 她脸上涂抹着红色与黄色的油彩,眼眸灰蓝深邃。 „No.” Zhou Mingrui shakes the head the reply, his where has the spare cash to go to divination. “不。”周明瑞摇头回答,他哪有闲钱去占卜。 This female smiled saying with a smile: 这位女子笑了笑道: „My tarot divination is very accurate.” “我的塔罗占卜很准的。” „tarot......” Zhou Mingrui is shocked immediately. “塔罗……”周明瑞顿时愣住。 This pronunciation, on tarot card with Earth is similar! 这个发音,和地球上的塔罗纸牌非常相似啊！ But tarot card of Earth is a telling fortunes poker, but are many some had the symbolic sign respectively „graph sign”. 而地球的塔罗牌就属于一种算命扑克,只是多了些各有象征符号的“图形牌”。 Waited for...... him to remember this world tarot divination origin suddenly. 等等……他霍然想起了这个世界塔罗占卜的由来。 It does not originate from seven orthodox God, was not ancient legacy, but more than 170 years ago, by the Russell Gustav invention of then Republic of Intis Consulate. 它并非来源于七位正统神灵,也不是古代遗留,而是在一百七十多年前,由时任因蒂斯共和国执政官的罗塞尔.古斯塔夫发明。 This Mr. Russell invented the steam engine, improved the sailing ship, overthrew the rule of Kingdom of Intis, and obtains „God of Craftsmanship” church's to acknowledge, becomes first Consulate of new Republic. 这位罗塞尔先生发明了蒸汽机,改良了帆船,推翻了因蒂斯王国的统治,并得到“工匠之神”教会的承认,成为新共和国的首任执政官。 Afterward, he fought up and down the country, integrated the protection Lunburg and other countries, making the Ruen Kingdom, Fenpot, Fusac Empire and other northern continent powerful nations lower the head one after another, then changed to the empire the Republic again, said „Great Emperor Caesar”. 后来,他南征北战,将伦堡等国纳入保护,让鲁恩王国、费内波特、弗萨克帝国等北大陆强国相继低头,接着将共和国再次改为帝国,自称“凯撒大帝”。 When Russell rules, „since God of Craftsmanship” church has obtained „fifth era” first public order from God, „God of Craftsmanship” the name changed to „God of Steam and Mechanics”. 正是在罗塞尔统治期间,“工匠之神”教会得到“第五纪”以来第一份公开的神谕,将“工匠之神”的称呼改成了“蒸汽与机械之神”。 Russell also invented tarot divination, and established the composition and play style of current playing card, in this has the Zhou Mingrui familiar several types, for example promotion, fight the landlord, Texas hold 'em and Gwent...... 罗塞尔还发明了塔罗占卜,并奠定了当前纸牌的组成和玩法,这里面就有周明瑞熟悉的几种类型,比如升级、斗地主、德州、昆特…… Moreover, he sent the fleet found the route to lead to southern continent in the storm and turbulent flow, opened era of colonization. 另外,他派船队在风暴和乱流里找到了通向南大陆的航道,开启了殖民时代。 What a pity is, after he is old, encounters the betrayal, in 1198 assassinated by Eternal Blazing Sun church and former royal clan of the Intis Sauron family and other aristocrats in fifth era jointly, falls from the sky in White Maple Palace. 可惜的是,他年老之后,遭遇背叛,于第五纪1198年被永恒烈阳教会、原因蒂斯王族索伦家族和其他贵族联手刺杀,陨落于白枫宫。 This...... recalls these general knowledge, the Zhou Mingrui suddenly a little toothache. 这……记起这些常识,周明瑞忽地有点牙疼。 isn't this a senior transmigrator? 这位不会是穿越者前辈吧？ Thinks of here, Zhou Mingrui has a mind to look that actually here tarot card is long what, therefore wears the peaked cap and face to spread the female of greasepaint to nod to that saying: 想到这里,周明瑞就有心看一看这里的塔罗牌究竟长什么样,于是对那位头戴尖帽、脸涂油彩的女子点头道: „If no , is reasonably-priced, I try.” “如果不,呃,价格合理,我试一试。” The female said with a smile immediately: 那女子顿时笑道: „Mister, you are today first person who comes divination, free.” “先生,你是今天第一位来占卜的人,免费。” PS: Second asked recommendation ticket ~ PS:第二更求推荐票~
