Reach out to the mind of the Creditor
To commune, one must first understand. Before, bargains and debts allowed a narrow window in which the Creditor might both act, and make its intentions known. But the Creditor has no such obligation to you.
The onus, then, falls to you. To comprehend. To render yourself comprehensible. To commune with one whose bones are clay and older than the First City, one who is divided and ambivalent about being whole again. To understand the Creditor, one must dig deep.
额,但是还是有点none of my business
俺本身就是沦敦的master,你们工人工会要搞城市就搞呗,我不太有所谓你们搞成啥样,为啥还一定要下到地底和Creditor打交道。。

原来银城是这样来的。。。

Time speeds up. People come and go in the chambers of the cult too quickly to be seen. Instead you hear them in aggregate – and all the other things that are also the city. Its walls, its streets, its animals both verminous and otherwise. Its governing bodies and its informal clubs. Its stories of itself. It is not too young to have those.
已然迫近
时间在加速。人们在教团的密室中来去匆匆,快到无法被看见。于是,你听到的是它们的汇集之声——以及所有其他同样构成这座城市的事物:
它的墙垣,它的街道。它的动物,无论害兽还是其他。其统治机构,及其民间社团。它为自己讲述的故事。它并非年幼到连这些都尚未拥有。
