This is not the story of a man who always knew where he was going, rather one who knew where he had been. Written in hindsight, this work should provide an ample reflection upon the wonders and the horrors, the dreams and the night-tremors, and the spirit and the body of the worlds outside your room. 但请小心。这不是一个总知道自己将去何方的人所讲述的故事，而是一个记得自己曾去过那里的人所讲述的。虽然这是后见之明，但此书却应能为你提供一个充足的认知….

Here dreams caught fire, and the old gods of money and responsibility could not rear their ugly heads. In the freedom of the "Ringed City," as I began to call it, I fell into shackles so tight not even now can I break their bonds. For it was here that fickle Fate, bound and fettered my destiny to this tome.这里的梦想都在熊熊燃烧，因为那些金钱与责任的老旧神祗都无法将其丑陋的脑袋伸进来。在这座‘环形城市’的自由中，当我开始这么称呼它时，我却被紧紧地束缚在这里，直到如今我依然无法脱离此羁绊。因为正是在这里，无常的命运将我与这部法典束缚在一起，从此牵扯不清。

10．一个来自混乱会的疯子，他总是出版各种永远赚不了钱的乱七八糟的书籍。一天晚上，当我以笼城的烟雾为被，以地为席躺在街头时，他找上了我并要求我写一部总括所有知识的书。他有一纸来自管理者高层的书面令，上面写到我所有的工作将得到三倍于平常价格的酬金，而且所有因此发生的费用均可报销。我贪婪得接受了这个挑战，内心又重新滋生出对知识的渴望。正如你所知的，干渴的舌头一旦被湿润就可能肿胀，甚至因此噎死其主人。% ~. j" Y- J+ ?
A deranged man of the Xaositect faction, who published works of so many variations that he could never had made any money. One night, while I lay on under a blanket of smog, he came to me and asked me to write a volume containing the sum of all knowledge. He had a writ, from a Guvner of high standing, which stated that all of my work would be compensated at triple normal rates and all my expenses attended. Greedily, I accepted this challenge, and my thirst for knowledge grew anew. Now you know a parched tongue once wetted may bloat up and chokes its owner. Such is this insidious thirst for knowledge.
