兽医手札 Vet's Handwritten Notes

兽医卢克雷提娅的贴身手札，记载着她照料大地兽的点点滴滴。 Lucretia the veterinarian's precious notes, scribbled with every sliver of her knowledge regarding dromas care.

Light Calendar Year 4███, Month of Gate

我决定开始记录最近大地兽们的异常行为。或许将来某天，这些记录能帮助我理解它们身上发生了什么。作为一名兽医，我深感困惑——从未见过这样的情况，连祖父留下的诊疗笔记中也找不到类似的记载。

I have decided to record the recent unusual behavior of the dromases. Perhaps one day, these logs will help me understand what happened to them. I am deeply vexed as a vet — never have I seen such symptoms. Even the medical journals Grandfather left me did not record such an occurrence.

【行为观察】

"Behavioral Observations"

1、幕匿时的异常鸣叫：

1. Strange cries during the Curtain-Fall Hour:

-声调比往常高出许多，更接近某种古老号角的声音，近似于呜咽声

• The tone is higher than usual, closer to the sound an ancient horn makes, like sobbing

-持续时间不定，短则数息，长则持续整个幕匿时

• Durations are inconsistent, lasting from a few moments to the entire Curtain-Fall Hour

-多数情况下会彼此呼应，形成某种韵律

• They will respond to one another in most cases, forming some sort of rhythm

-在鸣叫时，它们的眼睛会不自觉地望向地平线的方向

• During their wails, their eyes will instinctively gaze in the direction of the horizon

2、行进异常：

2. Anomalous Movement:

-商队报告称多起大地兽突然停止行进的事件

• Caravans report many instances of dromases abruptly stopping

-它们会原地踏步，用前爪刨地，似乎在寻找什么

• They will stamp at the ground in place, digging at the ground with their forepaws, as if looking for something

-有时会拒绝继续前行，直到幕匿时过去

• Sometimes they will refuse to move until the Curtain-Fall Hour passes

值得注意的是，这种行为多发生在远离奥赫玛的地方

What is worth paying attention to is that this behavior occurs mostly in locations far away from Okhema

【身体状况】

"Physical Status"

1、较往常相比

1. Compared to previous measurements

-体温略有升高（+0.3~0.5度）

• Body temperature slightly increased (+0.3~0.5 degrees)

-心跳频率增快（每分钟增加7~10次）

• Faster heartbeat rate (Increased 7~10 times per minute)

-食欲正常，但对某些矿石的偏好发生改变，对那些来自地层深处的矿石表现出异常的渴求

• Appetite is normal, but with changed preferences to certain ores, exhibiting an unusually high desire for ores deep in the earth

2、环境反应：

2. Environmental Reactions:

-拒绝靠近原本最喜欢的沙浴场地

• Refusal to get close to the sand baths that they usually so love

-对地面的震动比以往更加敏感

• More sensitive to ground tremors

-在靠近山体或峭壁时会表现出焦虑

• Display depressive behavior when nearing mountains or precipices

-但奇怪的是，它们反而开始频繁地用角和前爪触碰地面，仿佛在倾听什么

• But what is strange is that they more frequently touch the ground with their horns and forepaws, like they can hear something

最显著的变化是它们对某些场所的态度……

The most evident change is in their attitude towards certain venues...

我注意到它们的眼神变得迷茫而警惕。这让我想起祖父讲述的一个古老传说：在造物世，当吉奥里亚第一次从沉睡中苏醒时，大地兽们就会表现出类似的症状。但那都是上古的故事了，应该只是巧合吧？

I have noticed their eyes have become more glazed and skittish. This reminds me of an ancient fable Grandfather used to tell me: During the Era Creatura, when Georios roused from slumber for the first time, the dromases would exhibit similar symptoms. But that's an ancient tale. It couldn't be a coincidence, could it?

【社交行为】

"Social Behavior"

令人欣慰的是：

There is some comfort though:

-它们对人类的友善程度未减

• Their affection for humans hasn't waned

-仍然允许照料者触碰和梳理毛发

• They still allow caretakers to touch and groom their fur

-甚至比以往更依恋人类，经常主动寻求身体接触

• They cozy up to humans even more than usual, regularly seeking out human warmth

-特别是在幕匿时，它们会聚集在照料者周围

• Especially during the Curtain-Fall Hour, they will gather in the vicinity of their caretakers

治疗尝试：

Treatment Attempts:

-增加日常按摩频率，帮助它们放松

• Increase daily massage frequency to help them relax

-在饮用水中添加安神的草药

• Increase dosage of calming herbs in their drinking water

-改变沙浴方式，直接将沙子洒在它们身上

• Change their sandbath method, directly splashing their bodies with sand

-尝试用音乐安抚它们的情绪

• Try using music to soothe their nerves

目前采取的措施效果都不明显。这让我越发怀疑，它们的异常或许不是疾病导致的。

Current applied measures have not seen visible effects. This leads to my increasing suspicion as to whether their erratic behavior is even caused by an illness.

【推论】

"Deductions"

我开始思考一个大胆的推测：会不会这是它们与生俱来的某种本能在觉醒？毕竟大地兽是吉奥里亚赐予我们的礼物，它们与这片大地有着深刻的联系。

I have begun to contemplate an audacious deduction: Could some innate instinct be awakening within them? Dromases are blessed gifts bequeathed unto us by Georios after all — their connection to this land is unfathomable.

前几天，我翻阅了一些关于大地兽起源的古籍。据记载，它们最初是从吉奥里亚的脊背上生长出来的。如果这是真的，那么它们对大地的感知，或许远超我们的想象。

A few days ago, I perused some ancient texts about the origin of dromases. According to these records, they were spawned from Georios' spine. If this is true, then their perception of this great land could far surpass our imagination.

【后续计划】

"Follow Up"

-继续详细记录它们的行为变化

• Continue detailed records of their behavioral change

-请教一些研究泰坦历史的学者

• Seek the opinions of some scholars researching the Titan history

-尝试总结它们行为异常的时间规律

• Attempt to ascertain the time patterns of their abnormal behavior

-收集更多商队带来的相关报告

• Collect related reports from more caravans

补充：今天早些时候，我看到最年长的那头大地兽独自站在角落，发出低沉的呜咽。它的眼神让我想起了某次黑潮来临前的异象。我开始认真思考：也许我们不应该把它们的反常行为简单地视作某种疾病，而应该以更开放的心态去理解它们想要传达的信息。

Addendum: Earlier today, I saw the oldest dromas standing alone in a corner, emitting low wails. Its eyes reminded me of the strange phenomenon before the black tide arrived. I have begun to seriously consider maybe we shouldn't treat their abnormal behavior as some kind of sickness, but try to understand with an open mind the message they are trying to tell us.
