The merest sliver of it upon the tongue of the Supplicant will make him or her forget all the horrors they are enduring, and deliver them to a place of paradisiacal calm.

只要放小小一条阿冈尼司帝斯的肉在请愿者的舌尖上就能使他却所承受的一切痛苦，变得仿佛进入天堂一般安详。

只要放小小一条阿冈尼司帝斯的肉在请愿者的舌尖上就能使他忘却所承受的一切痛苦，变得仿佛进入天堂一般安详。

It hurts too much,they tell him,as his scal pels and his torches work their terrible surgery upon him.

当阿冈尼司帝斯用解剖刀和火把为他们实施那恐怖的变形手术时，请愿者们呻吟着对他说这个过程实在是太痛苦了。

"I hear you want to make Primordium a Republic," Agonistes said.

"我听说你想使普利摩顿成为一个共和国，"阿冈尼司帝斯开口说道，"用你一个人的力量。"

But in all the time he has been wandering the world Agonistes has only ever granted the comfort of death to one Supplicant who changed his mind.

但是，在阿冈尼司帝斯游历世界的漫长岁月里，他只允许一个请愿者在改变心意之后平静地死去。

It isn't Kreiger.It's a man called Agonistes.He has God's finger-prints upo n him.

这不是克里奇，这是传说中的阿冈尼司帝斯，他是上帝的儿子。

She persuaded Kreiger to put himself into the hands of an ancient entity called Agonistes, who would traumatically reconfigure him.

She lifted her lover's body up over her shoulders （he was lighter than she'd expected; troublingly so,as though the mass of his life had gone from him and would never be returned,even by a miracle）.

就这样，露辛迪克带着她情人的尸体走进沙漠去寻找他们的主人阿冈尼司帝斯（克里奇的身体比她预计的要轻，仿佛这躯体里某些蕴涵生命的物质已经一去不返了，即便是魔法也无力回天）。

Then – once his client is soothed – Agonistes continues his work,cutting,infibulating,searing,cauterizing,stretching,twisting,reconfiguring.Sometimes he will bring a mirror to show his Supplicants what he has so far created.Sometimes he will announce that he wants the results to be a surprise; and so the Supplicant is left to imagine,through the haze of pain,what Agonistes is turning them into.

然后，一旦他的主顾们平静下来，阿冈尼司帝斯就开始继续完成他的工作：切割、缝合、烧灼、扭曲、重新整形……有时他会带面镜子给他的请愿者们，让他们看看手术的进展情况；有时他则会宣称要给他们一个惊喜，工作完成之前不会给他们看到自己的容貌，任凭他们在痛苦中想象自己将变成什么样子。

也许他们将在壶穴里消失
