引言

Prologue

在潜伏于命运重渊神殿的十年里，我逐渐明白了这群自称是「命运三泰坦的神谕代言人」的群体究竟是如何亵渎泰坦们的威名。他们将神圣的预言变成了权力的工具，将圣女的天赋当做为自己攻击政敌的武器。

During my decade of infiltration at the Temple of Abyss of Fate, I gradually understood how this group, self-proclaimed "Prophets of the Three Titans of Fate," blasphemed the Titans' glory. They turned sacred prophecies into tools of power, using the Holy Maiden's gift as a weapon against political rivals.

神谕的污染

Corruption of Prophecy

表面上，祭司们声称只有献上与所求等重之物，才能凸显信徒之诚意。但实际上，整个求取神谕的过程已经沦为一个精密的情报体系：

On the surface, priests claim only offerings equal to one's request can prove a disciple's sincerity. In truth, the entire process of seeking prophecies has devolved into an intricate intelligence network:

1、情报搜集

1. Information Gathering

他们设立了三层问事处，每层配有专门的祭司将提问者的信息记录在案，又对下一层祭司的表现进行监管。祭司们被要求详细记录所有提问者的背景、人际关系与社会身份。此外，他们会为提问者建立档案，定期呈报给最高级别的祭司。

They established three levels of request offices, each staffed with dedicated priests who record clients' information and monitor lower-level priests' performance. Priests must document detailed backgrounds, relationships, and social status of all inquirers. Additionally, they maintain files on clients, regularly reporting to the highest-ranking priests.

2、优先级划分

2. Priority Classification

信徒们前来问事，会根据来者的问题与身份，提前划分为三个级别。祭司们会根据级别的高低来对提问事由进行排期——即使信徒们先前已经献上与所求等重之财物也不例外，除非…加钱。

When disciples come to seek prophecies, they are pre-sorted into three levels based on their questions and status. Priests schedule consultations according to priority — even if disciples have already offered tributes of equal value, unless... they pay more.

最高级为：涉及城邦重大事务的问题。

Highest Priority: Matters concerning city-state affairs.

次级为：影响日常生活的重大决策。

Second Priority: Major life decisions affecting daily life.

最低级为：平民的常见祈求，通常会以「不够虔诚」为由拒绝，又或者「祭司近日正在进修」为由推后。

Lowest Priority: Common folk's requests, usually rejected for "insufficient devotion" or delayed by "priest under training."

仪式的亵渎

Desecration of Ritual

最令人发指的是他们对神圣仪式的亵渎。经过长期观察，我发现整套所谓的「预言占卜」仪式已经沦为残酷的压迫了！

Most appalling is their profanation of sacred ceremonies. Through long observation, I discovered the entire "prophetic divination" ritual has become an instrument of cruel oppression!

2、环境控制

2. Environmental Control

至于信徒…他们从来不把信徒放在眼里，大多数信徒所见到的「和蔼友善」的一面也只是必要的伪装。而真相更是……

As for disciples... they never truly cared about them. The "warm friendliness" most followers witness is mere necessary pretense. The truth is far worse...

…随处可见的熏香，说是能抚慰信徒们的精神，带来振奋的力量。实际上他们在里面添加了致幻成分，要不是我亲自研磨过线香，还真发现不了这里面的东西。

...The prevalent incense, claimed to soothe spirits and bring invigorating power, actually contains hallucinogenic ingredients. Had I not ground the incense myself, I'd never have discovered its contents.

…祈祷室中有独特的声学设计，祭司讲话时会令信徒们产生「神谕」的错觉。更别说窗户和采光的设计，在抬头时特定的视觉混乱——穹顶聚光的效果就算让信徒们感到头晕目眩，他们也只会觉得这是「泰坦的神威」。

...Prayer chambers feature unique acoustic designs, making priests' words create an illusion of "prophecy" when they talk. Not to mention window and lighting designs are made to cause specific visual confusion — even if disciples feel dizzy from the dome's focused light, they'd attribute it to "divine might."

3、编织的预言

3. Fabricated Prophecies

很讽刺，命运织者在这一刻成为了现实——原来信众的命运，甚至是城邦的命运，所谓的未来，一切都能被祭司们人为操纵、编撰而成。

Ironically, the Destiny Weaver manifests in reality — it seems the fate of believers, even city-states and the future itself, can be manipulated and fabricated by priests.

当然，我不否认命运三泰坦的眷顾会赐予祭司与圣女们瞥见未来的能力。但有能力是一回事，用不用和怎么用又是另外一回事。

Certainly, I don't deny that the Three Titans of Fate's blessing grants priests and Holy Maidens glimpses of the future. But having the ability is one thing, and whether and how to use it is another.

初级祭司负责编撰预言素材，中级祭司负责调整用词的模糊程度，高级祭司则确保预言导向与神殿的方向一致。

Junior priests craft prophecy drafts, and mid-level priests adjust statement ambiguity, while senior priests ensure prophecies align with temple interests.

在我的调查中，我发现他们又将祭司分为了三种等级。哈，「三」这个数字无处不在，在这点上倒是对命运三泰坦忠心耿耿。

My investigation revealed priests divided into three ranks. Ha, the number "three" appears everywhere — at least they're faithful to the Three Titans of Fate in this regard.

[笔迹开始变得潦草]

[Handwriting becomes messy]

我在秘密档案室发现了更可怕的真相。前代圣女████绝非意外——她开始在预言中暗示反抗。可是，等等，可是缇██西█俄██呢？

I discovered more terrifying truths in the secret archives. The former Holy Maiden's ████████ was no accident — she began hinting at rebellion in her prophecies. But wait, what about Tr█bio█?

作为她的女儿，她████████████████████████████████████

[字迹变得混乱，部分内容无法辨认]

[Writing chaotic, parts illegible]

黑暗的根源远比表面更深。整个系统是一个巨大的谎言网络。

Darkness runs deeper than the surface shows. The entire system is a vast web of lies.

我找到了证据，证明某████实际上利用伪造的预言在城邦间挑起纷争，从中牟利。他们甚至密谋利用神谕煽动██，只为……

I found evidence proving certain ██████ ████ actually profited from instigating conflicts between city-states using false prophecies. They even plotted to use the falsehoods to incite ███ ██████, simply to...

塔兰顿在上！他们派人来了。我听到脚步声。我已将完整证据藏在██████████████

Talanton above! They're coming. I hear footsteps. The full evidence is hidden in ███ ██████ ███████
