Next morning, thoroughlyregained the condition the Kleinstepto walk intoBlack Thorns Security Companysteady.
第二天上午,彻底恢复状态的克莱恩步伐稳健地走入了黑荆棘安保公司。„Good morning, Klein, today'sweatheris very cool, Iam anticipatingevening'sfeast.”WearsRoseanne of pale-greenlong skirtto standbehindreceptionist, greetswith a smile.
“上午好,克莱恩,今天的天气很凉爽啊,我期待着晚上的大餐。”身穿淡绿色长裙的罗珊立在接待台后方,笑吟吟打了声招呼。Kleintouchedunder the bellyto sayintentionally:克莱恩故意摸了下肚子道:„MissRoseanne, youshould notatthis timediscuss that thistopic, Ihave started the duty that is weary has not arrived attoday, onlywantsto approachat nightearlier.”
“罗珊小姐,你不应该在这个时候讨论这种话题,我已经开始厌倦今天还未到来的任务,只希望夜晚早点来临。”„I am also.”Roseannelaughed.
“我也是。”罗珊呵呵笑道。Aboutherlooks, beckonsto hintKleinto close up, thenpulls down the throatsound said:
她左右望了望,招手示意克莱恩靠拢,然后压低嗓音道:„IsawMiss Dalya moment ago.”
“我刚才看见戴莉女士了。”„SpiritualistMiss Daly?”Kleinslightlyfeels the surpriseto ask back.
“‘通灵者’戴莉女士?”克莱恩略感诧异地反问。ThisAhowa Countymost famousSpiritualisthas livedinEnmatt Harbor, is not nearfromThengen.
这位阿霍瓦郡最有名的通灵者一直居住在恩马特港,距离廷根不算近。„Yes.”Roseannemakes an effortto nod saying that „shehad left, sheisinmymindmost idealExtraordinary, ifIcanbecome the spiritismperson, ImustleaveThengen, a personworldtravelsalone, goes toIntis, goes toFusac, goes toFenpot, goes tosouthern continent, goes to the prairie, goes toPrimeval Forest, goes toField of Ice and Snow!”
“是的。”罗珊用力点头道,“不过她已经离开了,啊,她就是我心目中最理想的非凡者,如果我能成为通灵人,我就要离开廷根,独自一个人满世界旅游,去因蒂斯,去弗萨克,去费内波特,去南大陆,去大草原,去原始森林,去冰雪的平原!”Young lady, the Night Watcherrules and regulationsunderstood that...... Kleinshakes the headto sayfunnily:
小姐,值夜者规章制度了解一下……克莱恩好笑摇头道:„Even ifMiss Daly, wantsto leaveEnmatt Harbor, stillneedsto apply, needsto be approved.”
“即使是戴莉女士,想离开恩马特港,也需要申请,需要获得批准。”„Iknow, butyoucannotremindmeatthis time, breaksmyfantasy!”Roseannesaidangrily,„in fact, Iam impossibleto becomeExtraordinary, thatwas too dangerous, does not know when bangonewill die, in my opinion, so-calledExtraordinary, toresist the monster, oneselfwill turn into the monster.”
“我知道,但你不能在这个时候提醒我,打破我的幻想!”罗珊气鼓鼓地说道,“事实上,我不可能成为非凡者,那太危险了,不知道什么时候就会砰的一下死掉,在我看来,所谓非凡者,就是为了对抗怪物,将自己变成了怪物。”„Archbishop Chanishas said that we are guardians, but at the same time we're also pitiful creatures that are withstanding dangers and madness.”Kleinsighedwas replyingthatlethisimpressionprofoundwords.
“查尼斯大主教说过,我们是守护者,也是一群时刻对抗着危险和疯狂的可怜虫。”克莱恩叹息着回答了那句让他印象深刻的话语。In order toresistabyss, thereforewemustwithstand the corrosion of abyss.
为了对抗深渊,所以我们必须承受深渊的腐蚀。Two peoplewere silentsimultaneously, Roseannetook the leadslow, the mouthtowardseparatingpositionsaid:
两人同时沉默了一阵,罗珊率先缓了过来,嘴巴向着隔断位置努了努道:„captainmakesyoucometo look forhim.”
“队长让你一来就去找他。”„Good.”Kleintakes the hat, is raising the cane, through the room partition, knocked on a doorto enter the Dunnoffice.
“好的。”克莱恩拿着帽子,提着手杖,通过隔断,敲门进入了邓恩的办公室。
The greypupilprofound, sends the borderlineveryhighmiddle agegentlemanto put down the coffee cup, smilesto say with a smile:
灰眸深邃、发际线很高的中年绅士放下咖啡杯,笑笑道:„Dalyhas come.”
“戴莉来过。”„Thisis not an accidental/surprisedmatter, becauseRoseannehas toldmeahead of time.”Kleinsmileresponse.
“这并不是一件让人意外的事情,因为罗珊已经提前告诉过我。”克莱恩微笑回应。Dunnhas not cared abouthishumor, sighed:邓恩没在意他的幽默,叹了口气道:„Dalywas adjustedBecklandchurch, thatis the entire worldis liveliest the most crowdedcity, hasmanyExtraordinaryandmostopportunities...... shebecomes the archbishoporhigh-leveldeaconcompared withmehopefully.”
“戴莉被调去贝克兰德教区了,那是全世界最繁华最拥挤的城市,也拥有着最多的非凡者和最多的机会……她比我更有希望成为大主教或高级执事。”„Why?” The Kleinstraightsitting posture, the doubtsasked back.
“为什么?”克莱恩端正坐姿,疑惑反问。Dunnthought deeply aboutmore than tenseconds of say/way:邓恩思索了十几秒道:„Before she has an unique gift in grasping and exposing the magical medicines of sequences...... me, has toldyou, internalstipulation of Night Watcheris, if under wantsto takesequencemagical medicine, mustfirstwait for threeyears, thenundergoes the strictexamination, avoidslosing control, butnormal, threeyearsare often insufficient, I ’ used for threeyearstoMidnight PoetfromSleepless‚,’used for nineyearstoNightmarefrom‚Midnight Poet, entirenineyears, butfromNightmaretoSequence Six, I have spent for threeyears, does not know that alsoneedsmanyyears.”
“她在掌握和挖掘序列魔药方面有着独特的天赋……我之前告诉过你,值夜者的内部规定是,要想服食下个序列的魔药,必须先等待三年,再经受严格的考查,避免失控,但正常来说,三年往往不够,我从‘不眠者’到‘午夜诗人’用了三年,从‘午夜诗人’到‘梦魇’用了九年,整整九年,而从‘梦魇’到序列6,我已经花费了三年,不知道还需要多少年。”„Whenourbodiesdie of old age, the spiritstartsto decline, even ifovercomes the hidden danger, should notattemptto promoteagain, the risk of going out of control is so high that no person wants to take it.”
“等到我们身体老去,精神开始衰退,即使克服掉隐患,也不该再尝试晋升了,因为失控的风险高到没人愿意去冒险。”„HoweverDalyandI, am different from overwhelming majorityExtraordinary, after shebecomesCorpse Collector, merelyoneyearsubmits the special requisition, hopes that cantakefollowingmagical medicineimmediately, whatmakingeveryonesurprisedis, shereallysuccessfullyadopted a stricterexamination, obtainedGrave Diggermagical medicine.”
“而戴莉和我,和绝大部分非凡者不同,她成为‘收尸人’后,仅仅一年就提交特别申请,希望可以立刻服食后续魔药,让所有人惊讶的是,她真的顺利通过了更加严格的考查,得到了‘掘墓人’魔药。”„FromGrave DiggertoSpiritualist, shealsoonlyused for a year , isshebecomes the Extraordinaryfifthyearthis year, sheis only24 years old, but also is youngenough, enoughopportunity.”
“从‘掘墓人’到‘通灵者’,她也只用了一年,呵,今年才是她成为非凡者的第五年,她才24岁,还足够年轻,还有足够的机会。”
The superficialstatusisAhowa Countymost famousSpiritualist, in factistrueSpiritualist...... thisis not„acting”? Old Neilas ifraisesMiss Dalyto havesimilartendency...... Kleinto feeloneselfgrasped the core element of "Spiritualist" Dalyfastpromotion.
表面身份是阿霍瓦郡最有名的通灵者,实际上是真正的通灵者……这不就是“扮演”吗?老尼尔似乎提过戴莉女士有类似的倾向……克莱恩觉得自己把握到了“通灵者”戴莉快速晋升的核心要素。„captain, youare also youngenough, you over 30 years old are.”KleincomfortedDunnone, andinaddedat heartsilently, was onlymemorya little not good......
“队长,你也还足够年轻,你才三十多岁。”克莱恩宽慰了邓恩一句,并在心里默默补充道,只是记忆有点不好……Dunndrank a coffee, shakes the head the forced smile.邓恩喝了口咖啡,摇头苦笑。„Why don't youconsultto graspandunearth the sequencemagical medicinemeanstoMiss Daly?”Kleinaskedintentionally.
“为什么你不向戴莉女士请教掌握和挖掘序列魔药的办法呢?”克莱恩故意问道。Dunnputs down the coffee cup, rubbed the two sideseyebrowbones saying:邓恩放下咖啡杯,揉了揉两边眉骨道:„ShemakesmetrueNightmare...... not to knowwhatmeaning.”
“她让我成为真正的梦魇……不知道什么意思。”ActsNightmare...... hiss, Nightmaremakespeoplethinkveryevil...... the Kleinbrowslightlywrinkle, shortsilent.
扮演梦魇……嘶,梦魇让人觉得很邪恶啊……克莱恩眉头微皱,短暂沉默。At this time, Dunnturned out the tobacco pipe, smelledtastes:
这个时候,邓恩翻出烟斗,嗅了一口道:„IandDalydiscussedDivinatormagical medicinefollowingis the Clownmatter, infirstdid not consider that the Secret Religious Ordermemberdeceivesinyoursituationintentionally, sheproposed an interestingguess.”
“我和戴莉讨论了‘占卜家’魔药后续是‘小丑’的事情,在先不考虑密修会成员故意欺骗你的情况下,她提出了一个有趣的猜测。”„Whatguessed?”Kleineyeonebright, urgentlyasked.
“什么猜测?”克莱恩眼睛一亮,急切问道。Hehad tried to proveClownwith the divinationmethodwhetherisDivinatorfollowingmagical medicine, obtainedfuzzily, butcloseraffirmationdirectionanswer.
他曾经用占卜的方法求证过“小丑”是否为“占卜家”的后续魔药,得到了模糊但更贴近肯定方向的答案。
The Dunndeep and quietgreypupilswepthisoneeyes, thinkingsaid:邓恩幽邃的灰眸扫了他一眼,边思索边说道:„Normalsequencepathis the relations of progressive, followingsomecommon ground, progressesin a domainlayer upon layer, for example, Sleepless, ‚Midnight Poet’andNightmare, veryobviously, theywithnight, sleeping soundly that as well asnightderives, tranquilrelated, conceivable, followingalsolike this, is only fiercer, involvedis broader, may have secret, calamity, fearandscarlet moonand otheressential factors......”
“正常的序列途径是递进的关系,遵照某个共同点,在一个领域内层层递进,比如,‘不眠者’、‘午夜诗人’和‘梦魇’,很显然,它们都与黑夜,以及黑夜衍生出来的安眠、宁静有关,可以想象,后续也会这样,只是将更加厉害,牵涉的更广,可能会有隐秘、厄难、恐惧和绯红之月等要素……”„Certainsequencepath, the surfaceseems like notthis, butcarefullyanalyzes, candiscover the similarity that the commonplace, for exampleAssassinand《Instigator》, theyimpliedbrought the disaster, brought the pain, broughtsadly, broughtdesperately, followingsequenceshouldalsoconform tothisrule.”
“某些序列途径,表面看起来不是这样,但仔细分析,还是能发现共通的地方,比如‘刺客’和‘教唆者’,它们暗含的相同点是给人带来灾祸,带来痛苦,带来悲伤,带来绝望,后面的序列应该也会符合这个规律。”Kleinhearsquitededicated, to askon own initiative:克莱恩听得相当专注,主动问道:„ButDivinatorand aren't Clownthisrelations?”
“但‘占卜家’和‘小丑’不是这种关系?”„Un.”Dunnlightly nodded and said, „Dalythinks that perhapshasanotherrelationalsequencepath, after allweknoware not enough.”
“嗯。”邓恩轻轻颔首道,“戴莉认为或许存在着另外一种关系的序列途径,毕竟我们知道的还远不够多。”Hispausedalsosaid:
他顿了顿又道:„Dalysaid,insimilarpath, mid&low sequencemagical medicinewill provideExtraordinaryonetyperespectivelybrand-new, andbeforeseems like no ability of relations, waited till the stage of somequalitative change, theseabilitieswill mixin the same place, evolvescontainstheir, the unusualpowerful‚occupation’.”
“戴莉说,在类似的途径里,中低序列魔药会分别提供非凡者一种全新的、和之前似乎没什么关系的能力,等到了某个质变的阶段,这些能力则会糅合在一起,衍变出包含它们的、异常强力的‘职业’。”„In other words, is not the progressive, butdecomposes and relations of combination.”
“也就是说,并非递进,而是分解和组合的关系。”SeesKleinto hearsomewhatconfusedly, Dunnlifts the right hand saying:
见克莱恩听得有些迷茫,邓恩抬起右手道:„Normalsequencepathis the progressive, like the stature of everyone, starting from the childhood, one by onebecamehigh, mixed withis changingstrong, changesheavyandmature.”
“正常的序列途径是递进的,就像每个人的身材,从小时候开始,一节一节变高,夹杂着变壮、变重和成熟。”„Howeverspecialsequencepathisthis......”
“而特殊的序列途径是这样……”At this point, Dunnbent the thumb:
说到这里,邓恩屈起了拇指:„ThisisSequence Nine.”
“这是序列9。”Then, hebends the index finger:
然后,他屈起食指:„ThisisSequence Eight.”
“这是序列8。”Following close on, hisone after anotheris bending the remainingfingersslowly:
紧跟着,他缓慢地一根根屈起剩下的指头:„Eachfingereach otheris independent, as ifnorelations, buttofinally......”
“每根手指彼此独立,似乎没什么关系,但到了最后……”
When puts out„finally”thisword, fivefingers of Dunnhave bentcompletely, grasped a hardfist!
吐出“最后”这个单词时,邓恩的五根手指已全部屈起,握成了一个坚硬的拳头!„Iunderstood.”Kleinis suddenly enlighted, the analogyto the guessandcaptain of Miss Dalydeeply feels the approval.
“我明白了。”克莱恩恍然大悟,对戴莉女士的猜测和队长的比喻深感认同。Perhaps is really this? Henodslooking pensive.
或许真是这样呢?他若有所思地点头。Sequence EightClownandSequence NineDivinatoris entirely different, has the brand-newability, butaccording to the description of Night Watcherrestricted data, Sequence SevenandSequence Eight of Clowncorrespondencedoes not havesimilarplace......序列8“小丑”和序列9“占卜家”截然不同,拥有全新的能力,而根据值夜者内部资料的描述,对应的序列7和序列8“小丑”也没有类似的地方……Kleinsilent, pursuescuriouslyasks:克莱恩沉默了一阵,好奇追问道:„Whichstagedifferentabilities will combineintogether, has the qualitative change?”
“不同能力会在哪个阶段组合在一起,发生质变呢?”Dunnsipped a coffee, laughed:邓恩抿了口咖啡,呵呵笑道:„IandDalyguess that isSequence Four!”
“我和戴莉都猜是序列4!”„Why?”Kleinblurted out.
“为什么?”克莱恩脱口而出。„Because ofaccording to the division of churchtosequencepath, Sequence Fouris the high sequencebeginning, it is saiditselfwill bring the qualitative change of lifeandspirit, in the ancient times, infourth era, Sequence Fourexperthas the qualificationsto be calledhalf God and half human, what a pity, in the modern age, suchexpertis scarce.”Dunnsays with emotion.
“因为按照教会对序列途径的划分,序列4是高序列的起点,据说本身就会带来生命和精神的质变,在古代,在第四纪,序列4的强者已有资格被称为半神半人,可惜,在现代,这样的强者已经非常非常稀少。”邓恩感慨道。„Sequence FourtoSequence Oneishigh sequenceexpert, whichthatlow does sequencerefer to?”Kleinis interestedasks.
“序列4到序列1是高序列强者,那低序列是指哪些呢?”克莱恩颇感兴趣地问道。„Sequence Nine, Sequence Eight, Sequence Seven, belongs tolowsequencebefore1000 years, butrecentlyseveral hundredyears, Extraordinaryquantitymademajorchurchalsoregard asmediumsequenceSequence Sevenscarcely.”Dunnself-ridiculed that smiles.
“序列9,序列8,序列7,在一千年前都属于低序列,但最近几百年,非凡者数量的稀少让各大教会将序列7也视作中等序列了。”邓恩自嘲一笑。Sequence NineandSequence Eightwerelowsequence, Sequence Seven, Sequence SixandSequence Fivearemiddle sequence, Sequence Fourandabovearehigh sequence...... Kleinwere repeatingat heart, unavoidablya littleyearning.序列9和序列8是低序列,序列7、序列6和序列5是中序列,序列4及以上是高序列……克莱恩在心里重复了一遍,难免有点向往之情。Great Emperor Russellishigh sequenceexpert!罗塞尔大帝就是高序列强者!However, sequenceis higher, the out of controlriskis bigger...... Kleinquiteto dreadis thinking.
不过,序列越高,失控风险越大啊……克莱恩颇为畏惧地想着。Heresembledto speak thoughtlesslyandaskone:
他状似随口地又问了一句:„WhatGoddesschurch'sSequence Four did magical medicinecall?”
“女神教会的序列4魔药叫什么呢?”„In fact, Iam not clear, mysecurity classificationcould not have contacted the material of correspondence, whenIbecomeBishopchurchorNight Watcherdeacon, canglance throughthem.”Dunnshakes the headto say with a smile, „in fact, 13archbishopsandninehigh-leveldeacontop level ofchurch, hashalfat leastbelowSequence Four, un, myviewisquiteoptimisticthat. BeforewantedthatarchbishopInce Zangwill, wasattemptsto promote the Sequence Fourfailureto lose control.”
“事实上,我并不清楚,我的保密等级还接触不了对应的资料,等我成为了教区主教或者值夜者执事,才能翻阅它们。”邓恩摇头笑道,“事实上,处在教会顶层的十三位大主教和九位高级执事,有至少一半在序列4以下,嗯,我的说法属于比较乐观的那种。之前被通缉的那位大主教因斯.赞格威尔,就是尝试晋升序列4失败才失控的。”Carries offsealed item„0-08”that? Hismagical medicinename seems calledGatekeeper...... Kleinto think,is probingasking: „Sleeplesspath is Sequence Five‚Gatekeeper’?”
带走封印物“0-08”的那位?他的魔药名称似乎叫做“看门人”……克莱恩想了想,试探着问道:“不眠者途径的序列5是‘看门人’?”„No, thatisSpiritualistpath, whenyoubecomeSequence Seven, becomes the bishoporNight WatcherSquadcaptain, cansee the correspondingmaterial.”
“不,那是通灵者途径的,等你成为序列7,成为主教或值夜者小队队长,就能看到对应资料了。”
Is GatekeeperSpiritualistpathSequence Five? Is the meaningto guard the front door of hell? Guards the spiritual worldfront door? Kleinhad guessed that is thinking.“看门人”是通灵者途径的序列5?意思是看守地狱的大门?或者,看守灵界的大门?克莱恩有所猜测地想着。„Ok, looksOld Neil , to continue yourstudy.”Dunnsmilesto say with a smile, „do not forget that evening'sfeast, inWillrestaurant, has subscribed the position, thistimeIwill giveotherNight Watcheryourofficialintroduction.”
“好了,去找老尼尔吧,继续你的学习。”邓恩笑笑道,“不要忘记晚上的大餐,就在老维尔餐厅,已经订好位置了,这次我会将你正式介绍给其他值夜者。”„Good, Ihave prepared the cash.”Kleincompulsionwent upbyowncorners of the mouth.
“好的,我已经准备好现金了。”克莱恩强制让自己的嘴角上翘。„No, does not need, youforgot that wedo have the extra allowance? Youcomplete the part that the requestdutydelivers.”Dunnbeckons with the handto say.
“不,不需要,你忘记我们有额外补贴吗?你们完成委托任务上交的部分。”邓恩摆手说道。Kleinwas startled, is all smiles:克莱恩怔了一下,笑容满面道:„Good, captain!”
“好的,队长!”Hehas transferred the body, moves toward the entrance, begun to silently count in the mind:
他转过身体,走向门口,心里开始了默数:„Three, two, one......, captainhas not stopped by callingme......”
“三,二,一……咦,队长没喊住我……”Klein„one”for a long time, discovered the matter that very muchwith amazementcaptainDunn Smithhas not forgottenneedsto supplement.克莱恩“一”了很久,惊讶地发现队长邓恩.史密斯没有忘记的事情需要补充。
The miracle...... heinsilentappraisedoneat heart.
奇迹……他在心里无声评价了一句。............
…………Inweapons storehouse, Old Neillooked ateyejoyfulKlein saying:武器库内,老尼尔瞄了眼心情愉悦的克莱恩道:„Do not think that evening'sfeast, some of youralsolotsmuststudy, for examplemanymagical ceremony, for exampleancient Hermes language, giant dragonlanguage, Elven language, wait/etc., wait/etc..”
“不要去想晚上的大餐,你还有很多东西要学,比如更多的仪式魔法,比如古赫密斯语,巨龙语,精灵语,等等,等等。”„Right, every afternoon beyond yourrestday must the followingteacherpractice at leasttwohours of wrestle.”
“对了,你休息日之外的每天下午还得跟着老师练习至少两个小时的格斗。”„Wrestle? captainhad not raised......”Kleinto have a scarea moment ago.
“格斗?队长刚才没提过啊……”克莱恩吓了一跳。Old Neilnods, repliedwithout hesitation:老尼尔点了点头,毫不犹豫地回答:„Heforgot.”
“他忘了。”
