帷幕之外 Beyond the Veil
敬拜学派学者弗勒修斯的手札,记录着他昔日观测永夜天帷的心得,据后世看考据,这是他在失踪之前的遗作。 Handwritten notes by the Venerationist Phereseus. He records their epiphanies gained from observing the Evernight Veil. Later research suggests that t

手记
Notes
我必须记录下这一切。我的思维开始混乱,记忆出现断层。但这些发现太重要了,它们可能揭示了欧洛尼斯帷幕之外的真相。让我尝试用最后的理智整理这些笔记。
I must make sure I record all of this. My thoughts are beginning to grow blurred and blanks are appearing in my memory. However, these discoveries are far too important. They may have revealed the truth of what lies beyond the veil of Oronyx. I will attempt to use the last of my sanity to organize these notes.
仪式准备
Ceremony Preparation
作为敬拜学派的学者,我们一直在研究各种与泰坦交流的仪式。但我想更进一步——不仅是交流,而是直接观测。欧洛尼斯的永夜天帷究竟有多大,在帷幕之外还有什么,难道那里是泰坦的神国?如果能找到正确的方法,或许能窥见其中的奥秘。
As a Venerationist scholar, we are always studying various ceremonies that involve communication with the Titans. But, I wish to go one step further — I do not want to simply communicate with them. I want to observe them directly. Just how big is the Evernight Veil of Oronyx? What lies beyond it? Could that be the divine kingdom of the Titans? With the correct approach, I may be able to catch a glimpse of these secrets.
经过多年研究,我找到了一些关键要素:
After many years of research, I have discovered a number of key elements:
1、宝珠——欧洛尼斯宝珠中蕴含着某种力量
1. The Orb — There is some kind of power contained in the Oronyx Orb.
2、特定的星象排列
2. A set astrological alignment.
3、古老的咒文,需要以正确的音调吟诵
3. An ancient incantation that must be chanted in the correct tone
第一次尝试(光历3749年 机缘月)
First Attempt (Light Calendar Year 3749 — Month of Fortune)
今天的星象完美契合。我在垂泪净身室完成净化仪式后,开始第一次尝试。
The constellations are in perfect alignment tonight. After completing the purification ceremony in the Chamber of Purifying Tears, I began the first attempt.
将宝珠置于额前,开始吟诵。最初什么都没发生,但在第七遍咒文后,我感觉到了异常。天帷似乎出现了波动,就像水面的涟漪。但更奇怪的是,我看到的星光开始扭曲,组成了无法理解的图案。
I place the orb before my forehead and begin to chant. At first, nothing happened. However, I sensed something unusual after my seventh recital of the incantation. The veil seemed to pulse like a rippling water surface. What was even more unusual was that the starlight began to warp and form into patterns that I could not understand.

第三次尝试(时间不详)
Third attempt (time uncertain)
[中间似乎缺失了第二次实验的记录]
(It looks like the records for the second experiment are missing)
我想我看到了什么。在帷幕的缝隙中,有什么在流动。好像不是星光,是以太吗,这种更基础的东西。它们像是…像是…我找不到词来形容。每当我试图描述它们,词语就在我舌尖崩解。
I think I have seen something. There is something flowing in the gaps of the veil. It doesn't look like starlight. Could it be aether? Something more fundamental... They seem to be... hmm... I can't find the words to describe it. Any time I try to describe them, the words just crumble on my tongue.
有趣的发现:当我凝视那些流动的物质时,我的思维似乎也开始流动。过去和现在的界限变得模糊。我看到了还未发生的对话,听到了早已消逝的声音。
Interesting discovery: When I stare at the flowing matter, my thoughts seem to flow also. The boundary between the worlds of the present and the past grows blurred. I saw conversations that had not yet happened and heard the voices of people who had long passed.

今天的实验出现了意外。当我将三颗宝珠同时启动时,宝珠直接破碎了,巨大的爆炸把实验室毁得一干二净。这是什么意思,欧洛尼斯降下了神罚吗?是因为欧洛尼斯在注视着着我,觉得我的实验逾越了凡人的准则?还是说,我的仪式设计得有问题,才会爆炸?
Something unexpected happened during today's experiment. When I activated three orbs at the same time, they broke and a huge explosion completely wiped out my laboratory. What does this mean? Is this a divine punishment of Oronyx? Did this happen because Oronyx is watching me and feels that my experiment has surpassed the rules laid upon mortals? Or could it be that the design of my ceremony was flawed and that caused the explosion?
我的头开始疼痛。记忆变得零碎。我想重新整理下我的手稿,我记得我写过一些数字…关于星体的运转,还有别的什么…但现在手稿上只留下一些符号?像是打瞌睡的时候画下来的东西,这究竟是啥?
My head is starting to hurt. My memory is becoming fragmented. I want to reorganize my manuscript. I remember I wrote down some numbers before... They were to do with the movement of the stars and other things... But there are only strange symbols on the manuscript now? They look like something I drew in my sleep. Just what on earth are they?

我犯了个错误。 帷幕是欧洛尼斯的神圣领域,凡人不可深入泰坦的圣域——还有什么? 记不清了,头好疼。
I have made a mistake. The veil is the divine realm of Oronyx. Mortals must not enter the divine realms of the Titans... What else was there? I don't remember. My head hurts.
结语
Conclusion
给██████,我觉得这个研究做不下去了。
To ███████, I don't think I can continue with this research.
不要重复我的错误。有些界限不该跨越。我现在明白为什么欧洛尼斯要创造永夜天帷了。那是隔绝凡人理智与泰坦神力的界线。
Do not repeat my mistakes. There are some boundaries that must not be overstepped. I now understand why Oronyx created the Evernight Veil. It is the boundary that divides the sanity of mortals and the divine power of the Titans.
我开始怀疑自己的存在。当我书写这些文字时,究竟是谁在移动我的手?当我思考这些问题时,究竟是谁在推动我的思维?我们以为自己在观测命运,但或许我们才是被观测的对象…是欧洛尼斯在观察着我们这些可笑的凡人!
I have begun to doubt my existence. As I write these words, who is it that is moving my hand? When I reflect on such questions, who is it that is moving my thoughts? We believe that we are observing destiny, but perhaps we are the ones being observed... It is Oronyx that is observing us ridiculous mortals!
[后续几页纸张上布满了无法辨认的符号和凌乱的线条,偶尔能辨认出几个词组:]
(The next few pages are littered with indecipherable symbols and chaotic lines. Occasionally, you can make out a few words:)
欧洛尼斯在看着我们
Oronyx is looking at us
凡人!
Mortals!
滚回去
Get out of here
不可探索泰坦的神力,神力不可观测
You should not investigate the divine power of the Titans, and their divine power cannot be observed
我不是真的我是谁是什么是———
I am not real who am I what am I am —
[最后一页只写着一行颤抖的文字:]
(The final page contains only a note in shaky handwriting:)
原谅我的僭越,永夜之帷啊……
Forgive my transgressions, O Veil of Evernight...
[注:此份手稿最初于神悟树庭友爱之馆的密室中被发现。根据记载,作者弗勒修斯在完成这份记录后失踪。有人说他化作了永夜天帷中的一颗星辰,也有人说在图书馆深处偶尔能听到他喃喃自语的声音。]
(Note: This manuscript was first discovered in a secret chamber in the Grove of Epiphany's Library of Philia. According to records, the author Phereseus went missing after completing this document. Some say that he transformed into a star within the Evernight Veil, while some say that you can occasionally hear him mumbling to himself in the depths of the library.)
