Ahem……” “有一位神秘人让我将这信笺交给你们,说你们一看就知道……咳咳……” The middle-aged man coughs several, handed over a short note. 中年男子又咳嗽几声,将一张便签递了过去。 The detectives received carefully, after sweeping one, the facial expression fiercely changes: „You go in me!” 探员小心接过,扫了一眼之后,神情就剧烈变化起来:“你跟我进去！” ...... …… A moment later, outside interrogation. 片刻之后,审讯室外。 In Jacob takes a short note, on the face is reappearing the smile of pondering: „Is this previous time gives our mysterious person the Roberts position information?” 雅各布手里拿着一张便签,脸上浮现出玩味的笑容:“这是上次将罗伯茨位置情报交给我们的神秘人？” „Yes, Director!” Sweat that nearby detective wipes the face: „The opposite party claimed that is the previous time collaborator, and knows that the position of Green Woods Count mausoleum, can give us, but in return, needs Green Woods Avenue 1 st, Sotos Museum property rights!” “是的,董事！”旁边的探员擦了擦脸上的汗水:“对方声称是上次的合作者,并且也知道绿森伯爵陵墓的位置,可以交给我们,但作为交换,需要绿森大道一号,索托斯博物馆的产权！” „Unexpectedly makes the transaction with our Bureau of Investigation, interesting!” Nearby Kaslo is rubbing gently the chin: „For a long time has not seen the so bold dangerous elements.” “居然跟我们调查局做交易,有趣！”旁边的卡斯洛磨蹭着下巴:“好久没有见到如此大胆的危险分子了。” „Then...... the issue is, should we compromise?” Fiona looks to Jacob: „Or...... asked for instructions that your excellency?” “那么……问题是,我们应该妥协么？”菲奥娜看向雅各布:“要不……请示一下那位阁下？” „Promises him!” At this time, ‘Philosopher’ Sistos does not know when has stood, is smiling the opens the mouth: „A museum, only then a historic importance, in fact and has no value...... to receive the news of mausoleum as soon as possible, is the best result.” “答应他！”这时候,‘哲学家’西斯托斯不知何时已经站在旁边,微笑着开口:“一座博物馆,只有一点历史意义,实际上并没有什么价值……能尽快获得陵墓的消息,是最好的结果。” He has entered Labyrinth of Thought of opposite party in secret, actually discovered that the opposite party indeed does not know the circumstances of the matter, is only an ordinary bankrupt worker, last night obtained the letter paper and duty , the opposite party pledged, so long as completed, will give him the money. 他已经暗中进入过对方的思维迷宫,却发现对方的确不知情,只是一个普通的破产工人,昨晚得到了信笺与任务,并且,对方承诺只要完成了,就会给他一大笔钱。 But obtains the way of answer, is very simple. 而获得答案的方式,也十分简单。 Sistos and Jacob enter the interrogation chamber, places on that short note the table: „Opposite party's request, we agreed that if news real, he will obtain him to want.” 西斯托斯与雅各布走进审讯室,将那张便签放在桌子上:“对方的要求,我们同意了,如果消息是真的,他会得到他想要的。” „Ahem…… was good.” “咳咳……太好了。” On the poor male face appears to wipe not normal dark red: „Ahem…… I am called Raul, is a miner, the doctor tells me, I have suffered from the pneumoconiosis, had not rescued, so long as this time completes the task, my family member can obtain the money......” 贫穷男人脸上浮现出一抹不正常的殷红:“咳咳……我叫做劳尔,是一名矿工,医生告诉我,我已经罹患尘肺病,没有救了,只要这次完成任务,我的家人可以得到一大笔钱……” Fiona artificially leaning leaning head, actually Sistos not slightly surprise. 菲奥娜不自然地偏了偏脑袋,倒是西斯托斯没有丝毫诧异。 These things, he had seen a moment ago. 这些事情,他刚才已经看到了。 „We agree with the condition, starts...... on this paper, has the strength of contract ceremony.” “我们同意条件,开始吧……这张纸上,有着契约仪式的力量。” Sistos said. 西斯托斯道。 „Yes, I first awareness, in the world also had the mysterious strength last night exists......” “是的,我昨夜才第一次知道,世界上还有神秘力量的存在……” Raul nods: „Please give me a dagger......” 劳尔点点头:“请给我一柄匕首……” Jacob nods, immediately interrogation hands over a knife. 雅各布点点头,立即就有一名审讯员递上一柄小刀。 „I somewhat feared that hurts......” Raul to smile bitterly, cuts open own finger, making the blood drop in the short note. “我有些怕疼……”劳尔苦笑一声,割开自己的手指,让鲜血滴落在便签上。 The bright red blood infiltrates into the paper, was ordinary just like the key, started the mysterious change. 鲜红的血液渗透入纸张,宛若钥匙一般,开启了神秘的变化。 After absorbing blood, another line of bright red handwriting appear: „Suburb, Wickhanno Race Course......” 在吸收了血液之后,另外一行鲜红色的字迹浮现:“郊区,维克汉诺马场……” „This is...... the contract ceremony...... the equivalent is very high......” Fiona to look at this, pondered evil ways: „I as if see...... the information carrier in an old book am the short note, but must turn on...... the key in the correct way and is not only the blood of Raul.” “这是……契约仪式……等阶很高……”菲奥娜望着这一幕,思考了一下道:“我似乎在一本古籍上看到过……信息的载体是便签,但必须以正确的方式开启……钥匙并不仅仅是劳尔的血液。” „Yes, on Raul also has another contract, only then after he hears we accept the condition, the contract in mind completes, then uses his blood, can make the information on paper present...... the duplicate/restores inlaying type ceremony......” “是的,劳尔身上还有另外一层契约,只有他听到我们答应条件之后,心灵中的契约完成,然后再用他的血液,才可以令纸张上的信息出现……复嵌式仪式……” Sistos nods: „Idea is quite exquisite, but extremely discrete...... especially, are little significance, the demand of opposite party is a museum, even if we sold, can monitor......, can take back momentarily. Naturally, we are not the robbers, the information that so long as the opposite party supplies is real, giving him is not good.” 西斯托斯点头:“构思相当精巧,但太过谨慎了……特别是,没有多大意义,对方的需求是一座博物馆,我们哪怕出让了,也可以监控……并且,随时可以收回。当然,我们不是强盗,只要对方提供的信息真实有效,给他也不是不行。” In fact, even if the contract effects of dual ceremony, not cannot bypass. 实际上,纵然是双重仪式的契约效果,也并非不可以绕过。 But obviously, Bureau of Investigation not so many time. 但显然,调查局并没有那么多时间。 With its waste on decoding ceremony, complies not to calculate that directly the high condition, obtains the answer, is the most efficient choice. 与其浪费在破解仪式上面,直接答应并不算高的条件,获得答案,是效率最高的选择。 Sistos takes up the short note, closes the eye slightly, solemnly announced: „Logical authentication passes dialectically, effective!” 西斯托斯拿起便签,微微闭上眼睛,庄严宣告道:“逻辑认证通过、辩证有效！” This is strange irregular ability, can through the logical the ability on proof as well as philosophy speculation, plays the confirmation goods and information genuine and fake effect. 这是一种奇异的非凡能力,可以通过逻辑论证以及哲学思辨上的能力,起到确认物品与信息真假的效果。 „Confirmation position is real.” “确认位置是真实的。” Jacob makes a fist excitedly: „Informs, prepares to act!” 雅各布兴奋地握拳:“通知下去,准备行动！” ...... …… Ewell Bridge District. 伊维尔桥区。 In the room in some inexpensive inn. 某间廉价旅店的房间内。 Setting Sun School of Thought Gwyn is opening the window curtains, is gazing at a fruit stall outside chapel. 落日学派的格温正拉开窗帘,注视着教堂外的一个水果摊位。 That setting up a stall peddler, by him was confirmed is monitoring the Nicholas person. 那个摆摊的小贩,被他确认是在监视尼古拉斯的人。 However, the goal of opposite party has been unclear, making him somewhat worry. 但是,对方的目的一直不明,令他有些担忧。 At this time, he noticed that the chapel entrance place went out of one group, followed in Nicholas Inam behind, as if to prepare to conduct a charity event. 这时候,他看到教堂门口处走出一行人,都跟在尼古拉斯·伊那姆身后,似乎准备进行一场慈善活动。 „Gwyn...... that is Bishop the student who you select?” “格温……那个主教就是你选中的学生？” Nearby sound conveys suddenly, Gwyn has turned the head, saw a big form. 旁边一个声音忽然传来,格温转过头,就看到了一个高大的身影。 The opposite party wear as if with the white long gown that an entire arrange/cloth weaves, has a flame hair, both eyes just like two small Sun, is blooming radiance. 对方身穿仿佛用一整块布编织成的白色长袍,有着一头火焰般的头发,双目宛若两颗小太阳,正在绽放光辉。 „Teacher! Yes, he called Nicholas brightly, the tendency......” “老师！是的,他叫尼古拉斯,心向光明……” Gwyn bows to salute hastily. 格温连忙躬身行礼。 This, is one of the ‘Setting Sun School of Thought’ ‘Lantern Bearer’, ‘Ardent Sun Tutor’ Sasloff! 这一位,就是‘落日学派’的‘掌灯人’之一,‘烈阳导师’萨斯罗菲！ „On little fellow should be somewhat secret, previous time lives from the hand of Roberts, but also cured the pollution of body and mind, is very suspicious...... you also to want for him to apply for the ceremony?” “小家伙身上应该有些秘密,上次从罗伯茨的手中活下来,还治愈了身体与心灵的污染,就很可疑……你还想为他申请仪式？” Sasloff shakes the head: „Gwyn, you idled recently, this is not very good! I will act personally, nose the secret that your student hidden, un...... also had to monitor his person...... your duty to complete, did well, after going back, can prepare to hold to open the 3rd Emanation ceremony, when the time comes, I will act as your guide personally!” 萨斯罗菲摇摇头:“格温,你最近懈怠了,这很不好！我会亲自出手,查探你这个学生隐藏的秘密,嗯……还有监视他的人……你的任务已经完成了,做得还不错,回去后可以准备举行开启第三原质的仪式,到时候,我会亲自充当你的引导者！” The entering step in mystery system, is very often bloody brutally. 神秘体系中的进阶,往往十分血腥残酷。 Especially same way low-rank with mysticalness of same step, even can directly as entering the material of step! 特别是同途径低阶与同阶的神秘者,甚至可以直接作为进阶的材料！ But ‚guide’ different, they can help the apprentice hold the promotion ceremony similarly, the price actually lose oneself part of spirit essence on own initiative, changes into ceremony to enter the step the power. 而‘引导者’不同,他们同样可以帮助学徒举行晋升仪式,代价却是主动损耗自身一部分灵性,化为仪式者进阶的动力。 This damaging oneself altruistic matter, rarely appears in mysteries sphere, only if relates specially intimately. 这种损己利人的事情,在神秘界中很少出现,除非关系特别亲密。 „Teacher...... Nicholas he is a good child.” “老师……尼古拉斯他是个好孩子。” Gwyn does not endure to argue, actually sees the teacher solemn vision, the sound becomes gets down low and deep...... 格温不忍地辩解,却看到老师冷峻的目光,声音不由变得低沉下去……
