At night.
夜晚。In a cafe.
一家咖啡馆内。
The Liliettewhole facesitsin the positiondisturbedly.莉莉娅特满脸忐忑地坐在位置上。Shehas not camouflaged, whatusedis the originalappearance, after allnow the Bureau of Investigationpeoplebecome the mad dog, but also conducts the clandestine activityto be instead easierto expose, might as wellmeetfrankly and uprightly the conversation, camouflagesform that the friendgets together.
她并没有伪装,用的是本来的面貌,毕竟现在调查局的人都成了疯狗,还进行秘密活动反而更加容易暴露,不如光明正大地见面交谈,伪装成朋友聚会的形式。This is also the request of Sir Divine Envoy.
这也是神使大人的要求。Thinks that Sir Divine Envoywill meetwithherwithoriginal feature, Liliettefeelsveryjoyfully, thismeansoneselfwonmanytrusts.
想到神使大人会用本来面目跟她见面,莉莉娅特就感觉十分欣喜,这意味着自己获得了更多的信任。Butthinks the ownpreviousconfessedmatterhas not completed, somewhatis disturbed.
但想到自己上次被交代的事情没有办成,不由又有些忐忑。Incafebrilliantly illuminated, canpenetrate the window, seesoutsidelights the street of gasstreet light.
咖啡馆内灯火通明,可以透过窗户,看到外面点燃煤气路灯的街道。Liliettewears the eyeglasses, seemsverydelicate, the lookalsocalculateson, captures the attention of manygentleman.莉莉娅特戴着眼镜,显得十分秀气,相貌也算中上,吸引来不少男士的目光。Sheis suppressingill, waited for dozen minutes, suddenlysaw that one30year old and gentleman of lookordinaryanddeep blueeyepupilshoves open the door of cafe, after taking a fast look aroundoneslightly, walkedtowardownposition.
她强忍着不适,又等待了十几分钟,忽然看到一位三十来岁、相貌普通、蔚蓝眼眸的男士推开咖啡馆的门扉,略微扫视一圈之后,就向着自己的位置走了过来。„Hello, White Dove......”
“你好,白鸽……”AlthoughAaronwith the Ravenmask, has not actually worn the Benjaminpersonskinmask, sitsopposite ofLiliette, lowers the sound: „YoucancallmeMr. Yaso!”亚伦虽然没有用渡鸦面具,却戴着本杰明的人皮面具,坐在莉莉娅特对面,压低声音:“你可以叫我亚索先生!”„Mr. Yaso......”
“亚索先生……”Liliettewas appeared the naturebyownmannerdiligently, probablyis chattingto be the same with the friend: „Reallysorry, thingmy fatherthere that previoustimeyouneednot......”莉莉娅特努力让自己的神态显得自然,好像在跟朋友聊天一样:“实在抱歉,上次您需要的事物我父亲那里并没有……”Herefinger/refers of generation of things, naturallyareDream Realmorientation skill that Aaronwants.
这里指代的东西,自然是亚伦想要的梦界定位技术。Hearshere, his browwrinkle.
听到这里,他眉头不由一皱。Liliettesupplementsonehastily: „My father ensure hetomulti-channelwill track down!”莉莉娅特连忙补充一句:“不过我父亲保证,他会向更多渠道追寻的!”‚Multi-channel? Dolan Clanhas declined, besidesthatGreen Banyan Parliament, couldn't findotherchannels?’
‘更多渠道?多伦家族已经没落,除了那个绿榕议会之外,也找不到其它渠道了吧?’Aaronis ponderingat heart, called the serverwhile convenient, orderedonecup of hotcocoa.亚伦心里沉思着,顺带叫来服务生,点了一杯热可可。Hepondered a meeting, intuitionLiliettesaidreal, shedoes not dareto lietooneself, butso long asher fatherloved dearly the daughter, will not care abouttogether the secretknowledge.
他沉思了一会,直觉莉莉娅特说得是真的,她不敢对自己撒谎,而她的父亲只要心疼女儿,也不会在乎一道隐秘知识。Therefore, Dolan Familyindeeddoes not have the Dream Realmlocalizationrelated technology.
所以,多伦家的确是没有梦界定位相关技术。ButtheirbackGreen Banyan Parliament, suspectedtooneselfexistenceinevitably, in a short time, the bigprobabilitycannot take.
而他们背后的绿榕议会,必然对自己的存在十分怀疑,短时间内,大概率是弄不到手的。„Iunderstood, youcontinueto try hard.”
“我明白了,你继续努力。”Aaroncarries the fineglaze colorporcelain cup, tastedmellowdelightfulcocoa.亚伦端起精致的釉色瓷杯,品尝了一口香醇甜美的可可。„...... About the previousdelivering a lettermatter......”
“还有……关于上次送信的事情……”Liliettementionedvaguelyprevioustimeabout the information and Bureau of Investigationmatter.莉莉娅特隐晦地提及上次关于情报与调查局的事情。„Nowhas the progress of renewal...... on the other hand, have youheard the dreadfulmatter of Home of the Witch?”
“现在已经有了更新的进展……话说回来,你有听说过女巫之家发生的可怕事情么?”Aaronaskedcalmly.亚伦平静问道。ThisisentireGreen Woods Cityknows, matter that in the newspaperdiscussedwantonly, the hearsay that evensomemassiveinsectspresentedalsoinrun all over the place, discussed that in publicwill not bring inanythingto pay attention.
这是整个绿森市都知道,报纸上大肆讨论的事情,甚至有大量昆虫出现的小道消息也在满天飞,在公开场合讨论并不会引来什么注意。„Ihad heard...... has also donecertaininvestigation, discovered that inGreen Woods Cityslum area, similarmatter seems to have hadmany, has the trend of getting stronger and stronger.”
“我听说过……并且也有做过一定调查,发现绿森市的贫民区里,类似的事情似乎发生过多起,并且,有着愈演愈烈的趋势。”Liliettelooks dignified: „Whatshould...... not have not goodmatter to happen?”莉莉娅特神情凝重:“该不会……有什么不好的事情要发生了吧?”Shereallycannot think through, after thatRobertscompletes the promotion, howalsoto darenot to run, insteadkeepsGreen Woods Countyto do the matter!
她实在想不通,那个罗伯茨完成晋升之后,怎么还敢不跑,反而留在绿森地区搞事情!„Perhapsis......”
“恐怕是的……”Aaronsighed, is looking atout of the window.亚伦叹息一声,望着窗外。
By the end of September, even if at night, undergasstreet lightas beforesomestreams of people.
到了九月末,哪怕是夜晚,煤气路灯之下依旧有些人流。Andmajorityisstreet girl, as well assomemobilecommerce.
其中大部分是站街女郎、以及一些流动商贩。Aaronnotices a commerce that is pushing the smallhandcart, his50 years old is, are gray-haired, averagenotwonderful, soldcommodityactuallyveryinteresting——thatisstatue, crown that and otherhandicrafts the branches of somebanyan figsmanufacture.亚伦注意到一个推着小手推车的商贩,他五十来岁,头发斑白,平平无奇,售卖的商品却很有趣——那是一些榕树的树枝所制作的雕像、头冠等手工艺品。„Quicklytogreenbanyan treefestival......”
“就快到绿榕节了啊……”Lilietteis looking atthis, is actually veryfamiliar: „In the old timeswinter, Green Woodswill hold the grandcelebration, sacrificial offering【Green Banyan Fig Ancestral Mother】, thisisfromFabry Dynasty, the custom that evenearlierGreen Woodsperiod, leaves behind, ithad integratedin the blood of allGreen Woods Citypeople......”莉莉娅特望着这一幕,却是非常熟悉:“在往年冬季,绿森都会举行盛大的庆典,祭祀【绿榕树祖母】,这是从法布里王朝,甚至更早的绿森林时期,就遗留下来的风俗,它已经融入了所有绿森市民的血液中……”„Afterward, althoughfollows the dissemination of Church of the Holy Spirit, twistsOld Ancestral MotherisGreen Angel, butalsohas topreservethiscustom, presentGreen Woods CitySeptemberlastdayasgreenbanyan treebirthday, even ifpeopledo not attend the celebration, will often buyseveralgreenbanyan figproducts, placeshome......”
“后来,虽然伴随圣灵教的传播,将老祖母歪曲为绿天使,但也不得不保留这一习俗,现在的绿森市将九月的最后一天作为绿榕诞辰,人们哪怕不参加庆典,也往往会买上几件绿榕树制品,放在家里……”„Thisfolk customs, had been studiedbymanyscholars, butinmysteries sphere, was widely thoughtwiththatGreen Woods Countsomerelations......”
“这一民俗,被许多学者研究过,而在神秘界中,被广泛认为与那位绿森伯爵有些关系……”
......
……„Originallyisthis......”Aaronpresses a paper moneyunder the glaze colorporcelain cup, stands up: „Wego out for a walk!”
“原来是这样……”亚伦将一张纸币压在釉色瓷杯之下,站起身:“我们出去走走!”LiliettethoughtinexplicablythisMr. Yasosomewhat seems to be moved, letshereye socketacid, the feeling is very at heart strange.莉莉娅特莫名觉得这位亚索先生似乎有些伤感,让她眼眶都不由一酸,心里感觉十分奇怪。However, sheputs on the coat, puts on the hat of gauzecurtain, followsinAaronbehind.
不过,她还是套上外套,戴上有纱帘的帽子,跟在亚伦身后。Green Woods City at the end of September, the weatherhas becomeextremelycold.绿森市的九月末,天气已经变得极为寒冷。Buttheseinsolvents and poor peopleactuallyhave topawn the energyprotection against the cold the coat, rustletremblesin the cold wind, has to the stamping the feetmovementmaintain the body temperature.
而那些破产者与穷人却不得不典当掉自己能御寒的大衣,在寒风中簌簌发抖,不得不一直跺脚运动保持体温。„Thismister, buysreceives the greenbanyan figto bless a thing, itwill blessyour.”
“这位先生,买一件受到绿榕树祝福过的物件吧,它会保佑你的。”Walkson the street, oftencansee the small merchant who peddles the greenbanyan treeproduct.
行走在街道上,不时就可以看到兜售绿榕制品的小商贩。„This...... whatprice?”
“这件……什么价格?”Aaronstopsinonewears the unpadded garment, in front of the hairhalfwhiteold woman, is looking atcrudegoods in herbasket, picks uponeat willby the protectingvolume of greenbanyan treebranchknitting, spoke thoughtlessly the inquiry.亚伦停在一名穿着单衣,头发半白的老妪面前,望着她篮子里的简陋物品,随意挑出一件由绿榕枝条编织的护额,随口询问。„Five, no, so long asthreepennies!”
“五个,不,只要三个便士!”Thisoldmadameis looking atAaronwith the anticipationlook.
这位老夫人用期待的眼神望着亚伦。Aaronsilent, pulls outfivecopper, gaveher, in the gratefulsound of opposite party, is holding appreciatively the protectingvolume on hand.亚伦沉默一下,掏出五枚铜子,交给了她,在对方的感激声中,把玩着手上的护额。„Thank you, the mister of good intention.”
“谢谢您,好心的先生。”
The old womanexpressed gratitudeagain and again, appearingwas very polite, makingLilietteaskcuriously: „Thismadame, youseem like very educated, whywill reduceto...... is sorry......”
老太太连连道谢,显得很有礼貌,让莉莉娅特不由好奇问道:“这位夫人,您看起来很有教养,为什么会沦落到……抱歉……”„The business that nothing more to be said that my husbandinvestscrashes, my familythereforewent bankrupt......”old womanto sigh: „Is goodafterselling out the originalhouse, wepaid off the debt, althoughnowlivedpushed a point, but when Cowlesuniversitygraduated, findingonewas goodto work, allwill be good.”
“这没有什么好说的,我的先生投资的生意崩盘,我家因此破产了……”老太太叹息一声:“好在卖掉原本的宅子之后,我们还清了欠款,现在虽然住得挤了一点,但等到小考尔斯大学毕业,找到一份好工作,一切都会好起来的。”„Allwill be good, wishing the greenbanyan treeto blessyou!”
“一切都会好起来的,愿绿榕庇佑你!”Liliettegave a hand signal, Aaronrecognized, when was an ancientsacrificial offeringgreenbanyan figformality.莉莉娅特做了一个手势,亚伦认得,是古代祭祀绿榕树时的一个礼节。„Old Ancestral Motherblessesyou.”Old womaneyesonebright, similarlyreplied.
“老祖母庇佑你。”老太太眼睛一亮,同样如此回答。Lilietteis just aboutto followAaronto leave, suddenlyhearsbehind a dull thumping sound.莉莉娅特正要跟随亚伦离开,忽然听到身后一声闷响。Sheturns around, saw that old womanfell down, the faintin the past, herabdomeninflatedrapidly, as ifhad anything to want the brokenbody!
她一转身,就看到那位老妇人倒在地上,昏厥过去,她的腹部急速膨胀起来,似乎有什么东西正欲破体而出!„Thisis......”
“这是……”
