#542: The journey of life is full of frustrations


Elder sister, we arrived,” Kohl Kant runs in the cabin in high spirits. “姐,我们到了,”科尔.康德兴冲冲跑进船舱。 I had told you two, this journey should not be called my elder sister,” Edith raised the head to sweep his one eyes, „did you forget?” “我已经告诉过你两遍,这次出行不要叫我姐姐,”伊蒂丝抬头扫了他一眼,“你忘记了?” „......” The Kohl whole body does not tremble, does not have, I.” “不……”科尔浑身一颤,“没有,我记着呢。” Who am I?” “那我是谁?” I and my secretary official, Ms. Edith.” “我、我的书记官,伊蒂丝女士。” You?” “你呢?” Father...... No, ambassador who northern region Duke Calvin Kant sends out.” “父亲……不,北境公爵卡尔文.康德派出的大使。” Is very good, remembers that do not make the third mistake,” Edith stood up, has moved under the somewhat stiff hands and feet, went out of the cabin, called the envoy group whole staff, we went to the inner city.” “很好,记得不要犯第三次错误,”伊蒂丝站起身,活动了下有些僵硬的手脚,走出船舱,“叫上使者团全员,我们去内城。” This is the cheap trick that Edith usually often plays, she always likes observing oneself negotiating partner first secretly, after obtaining preliminary impression, acts to negotiate again, except can provide for a rainy day, but can also give the opposite party new feeling. If the goal is a male, will be most likely interested in oneself. 这是伊蒂丝平时常玩的小把戏,她总喜欢先在幕后观察自己的谈判对象,得出初步的印象后再出面交涉,除开可以未雨绸缪,还能够给对方新鲜之感。如果目标是男性,十有八九会对自己充满兴趣。 She never evades the female status, instead regards as a human relations superiority. 她从来不避讳自己女性的身份,反而视作一种交际优势。 Since has the Pearl of the Northern Lands title, naturally cannot waste it. 既然有着北地明珠的称号,自然也不能浪费了它。 That...... Head?” “那……头颅呢?” Naturally places on the ship first, Is it possible do you also want to hold that thing to enter the bedroom?” She curls the lip, they became stale.” “当然是先放在船上,难不成你还想抱着那玩意进卧室?”她撇撇嘴,“他俩已经发臭了。” Goes down the trestle, Edith notes the ships in canal to be especially many, on dock also gathered many crowds, they mostly carried the envelope, looked at the appearance already likely is not the slave, likely was not the merchant. This makes her quite curious, except the above two kinds, few people will take a long journey in the spring plowing season. 走下栈桥,伊蒂丝注意到运河里的船只格外繁多,码头上也聚集起了许多人群,他们大多背着包囊,看打扮既不像是奴隶,也不像是商人。这让她颇为好奇,除开上述两类,很少有人会在春耕时节远行。 She draws on one to accompany, under the inquiry they plan.” 她招来一名随从,“去询问下他们打算去哪。” What relations this and do we have?” Kohl puzzled say/way. “这和我们有什么关系?”科尔不解道。 Roland Wimbledon, since has seized this city, would promulgating some new deals to announce that his authority, this can also respond from one side his temper, has certainly the relations with us.” Edith smiled, moreover you can also spend on several gold royal, asks Mouse to help you collect, but I the news that likes myself inquiring with one's own ears.” 罗兰.温布顿既然占领了这座城市,总会颁布一些新政来宣告他的权威,这也可以从侧面反应出他的性子,当然和我们有关系。”伊蒂丝笑了笑,“另外你还可以花上几枚金龙,去请老鼠帮你搜集一番,但我更喜欢自己亲耳打听到的消息。” Is and is this......” “是、是这样吗……” Must look, thinks, ambassador Sir,” she said that this is the rare opportunity.” “要多看,多想,大使大人,”她说道,“这可是难得的机会。” After entering city gate, the pedestrian on street were many immediately, the simple stall on the swayed by the path, the merchants was calling own commodity, suddenly shouts the hawking sound continuously. Edith several years ago once came Kingdom Capital to attend five princesses' adulthood grand ceremony with father, image in this city and memory too has not changed much, is still extremely busy. 进入城门后,街道上的行人顿时多了起来,简单的地摊就摆在道路两旁,商人们吆喝着自己的商品,一时间呼喊叫卖声此起彼伏。伊蒂丝几年前曾随父亲来王都参加过五公主的成年大典,这座城市与记忆中的形象并没有太多改变,依然是热闹非凡。 If when Eternal Night City, is not holiday or celebration, cannot see the scene that the head/number of people surges absolutely. 若在永夜城,不是节日或庆典时,绝对看不到人头涌动的场面。 Suddenly, street speaking attracted her attention. 忽然,街边一名宣讲者吸引了她的注意。 First wait a while,” Edith makes the team stop going forward, oneself bring by the crowd that Kohl is arriving at to gather. “先等一会儿,”伊蒂丝让队伍停止前进,自己带着科尔走到聚拢起来的人堆旁。 „Can you lumber head? Will you build the grey brick? Will you look after the cattle? So long as there is a professional skill, is the talented person who Your Majesty Roland needs! Goes to Western Region, Your Majesty is constructing new Kingdom Capital-- Neverwinter City there! Your abilities will bring the rich reward for oneself!” “你会锯木头?你会砌灰砖吗?你会照顾牛羊吗?只要有一技之长,就是罗兰陛下需要的人才!去西境吧,陛下正在那里建设新的王都——无冬城!你们的才能会为自己带来丰厚的报酬!” Talented people? Edith has pondered over, actually interesting view...... However, new is Kingdom Capital What does it mean? Neverwinter City? Does Western Region have this kind of city? 人才?伊蒂丝琢磨了下,倒是个有意思的说法……不过,新的王都什么意思无冬城西境有这样一座城市么? Proceeded again dozens steps, was another person. 再往前走了数十步,又是另外一圈人。 witch is innocent, before this is High Priest just before execution , the confession that own handwriting writes down,” another speaking is brandishing document/secretary in hand, they possibly are your family member, your daughter, your sisters! If you were still afraid them, escorts to Neverwinter City them! In there, they will obtain the meticulous concern, if you do not hate to throw down them, can go together! Your Majesty granted, the witch family member will obtain a shelter keeping the rain off house as well as the dignified work!” 女巫是无罪的,这是大祭司临刑前亲笔写下的忏悔,”另一位宣讲者挥舞着手中的文书,“她们可能是你的亲人,你的女儿,你的姐妹!如果你仍然害怕她们,就把她们送往无冬城吧!在那里,她们会得到无微不至的关怀,如果你不舍得丢下她们,也可以一同前往!陛下允诺,女巫的家人将会得到一栋遮风挡雨的住宅以及体面的工作!” „Was High Priest executed?” Kohl stared in a big way the eye. 大祭司被处死了?”科尔瞪大了眼睛。 Edith actually frowned, if this is the Roland Wimbledon's new deal, rather extremely made widely known. He did not fear that draws on the Church Thunder retaliation, that is not the fight between noble, but does not die the continuous heresy war. 伊蒂丝却皱起了眉头,如果这就是罗兰.温布顿的新政,未免太过张扬了点。他就不怕招来教会雷霆般的报复么,那可不是贵族间的战斗,而是不死不休的异端战争。 Also does not know that gives loyalty to such king is the luck is the calamity. 也不知道向这样的君王效忠到底是福是祸。 Spends one hour to walk this to go nonstop to the street in inner city, she discovered that has like this speaking all the way everywhere, almost after compiles the book to narrate Your Majesty attacks and captures Kingdom Capital , the dry/does all matters repeatedly, any comes the Kingdom Capital person, so long as believes slightly in the street quite a while, can understand these change understanding, does not need to look Mouse. 花掉半个时辰走完这条直通内城的街道,她才发现一路上到处都有这样的宣讲者,几乎是把陛下攻克王都后干的所有事情编造成册反复讲述,任何一个来王都的人,只要在街边听上小半天,就能把这些变化了解个明白,连老鼠都不用找。 Sir, I have ascertained,” that was ordered the inquiry news attendants to catch up with the team pantingly, they are prepare to go to-- “大人,我都问清楚了,”那位被命令打探消息的侍从气喘吁吁地赶上了队伍,“他们都是准备前往—— Neverwinter City, right?” The Edith interruption said. 无冬城的,对吧?”伊蒂丝打断道。 You...... Knew?” “您……都知道了?” Inn does not look first, we go to the royal palace to submit envoy document/secretary,” her bottom of heart had not a good premonition faintly, now, quickly!” “旅店先不找了,我们去王宫递交使者文书,”她心底隐隐有了一丝不好的预感,“现在,赶快!” ...... …… What did you say?” Kohl is surprised the different way, „did Your Majesty Roland leave Kingdom Capital one week of? Hasn't held to ascend the throne the grand ceremony?” “你说什么?”科尔诧异道,“罗兰陛下已经离开王都一周之久了?没有举行登基大典?” Reception officer said that” the attendants report said that Your Majesty left behind the Barov Mons chief minister to handle the matters concerned, but he also left Kingdom Capital yesterday. Now in the palace besides the servant, nobody lived. The reception officer added that if you want with the City Hall discussion, he can pass on for you.” “接待官是这么说的,”侍从汇报道,“原本陛下留下了一位名叫巴罗夫.蒙斯的首席大臣打理事宜,但他也于昨天离开了王都。现在宫殿里除了佣人外,已经无人居住了。接待官还说如果您想和市政厅洽谈的话,他可以为您转告。” Does not need,” the Edith cold sound said. She has not expected the premonition to fulfill unexpectedly, oneself nonstop rush about, finally actually came up empty-handed-- Roland to plan to migrate Kingdom Capital unexpectedly, puts this excellent city not to want, to go to Western Region to construct a new metropolis! What that in his head actually thinks? Must know that this grade of scale city, 30-40 years of construction has not been impossible is completed! “不必了,”伊蒂丝冷声道。她没料到预感居然应验了,自己马不停蹄一路奔波,结果却扑了个空——罗兰竟真的打算迁移王都,放着这座大好的城市不要,去西境重新建设一座新都市!他脑袋里到底想的什么?要知道这等规模的城市,没个三四十年的建设是不可能完成的! We what to do?” Looks the envoy group member who behind one dry/does is in a daze, Kohl asked quietly. “我们怎么办?”望着身后一干发呆的使者团成员,科尔悄声问。 Her calm face, crossed has some little time opened the mouth saying that turned around dock, we also went to Neverwinter City!” 她沉着脸,过了好一会儿才开口道,“掉头回码头,我们也去无冬城!” Others walked in any case, we do not need such to catch up,” the Kohl wrinkled face said,one week has not taken a bath, I thought the quick long louse. “反正人家已经走了,我们没必要这么赶啊,”科尔苦脸道,“一周没洗澡,我都觉得身上快长虱子了。 Edith side smelled collar, smelled an unusual flavor. She sighed finally, that rested a evening on a looking inn, early tomorrow morning again set off.” 伊蒂丝侧头嗅了嗅衣领,也闻到了一股异样的味道。她最终叹了口气,“那就找间旅店休息一晚,明天一早再出发吧。” However when next day envoy rolls rush to dock, actually discovered that their ships were only burnt remained the skeleton. 然而第二天使者团一行人赶到码头时,却发现他们的船只被烧得只剩了骨架。 This what's the matter?” Edith first time felt own head is insufficient. “这又是怎么回事?”伊蒂丝第一次感到自己脑袋不够用了。 cough cough, should not be angry, elder sister-- Ms. Edith, must look, thinks......” Kohl waves to draw on a passer-by, „will dock have the fire?” 咳咳,别生气,姐——伊蒂丝女士,要多看,多想……”科尔挥手招来一名路人,“难道码头也会发生火灾?” "Ah, you said this, ” opposite party warm answered, does not know which damn hid the corpse on the ship secretly, the flavor is stolen the thing Mouse to smell. You do not know, everybody is specially sensitive to this thing, after all before more than half a year, in the city once erupted the excessively evil epidemic disease, is the corpse of Church dispersion causes. In brief, copes with this thing, be only burnt down was safe. The captain had been caught to interrogate by the guard, what's wrong, do you know him?” “啊,你说这个啊,”对方热情的解释道,“不知道哪个该死的在船上偷藏了尸体,味道被偷东西的老鼠闻到了。你不知道,大家对这东西特别敏感,毕竟大半年前城里曾爆发过邪疫,就是教会散布的尸体引起的。总之,对付这玩意,只有一把火烧了才稳妥。船长已经被卫兵抓去审问了,怎么,你们认识他吗?” Edith does not know for a while should use any expression answer, crossed quite a while to suppress one, thanks, did not know.” 伊蒂丝一时不知道该用什么表情回答,过了半天才憋出一句,“谢谢,不认识。” It seems like must look for a new ship, she thinks, the journey of this giving loyalty, such as probably will not imagine like that smooth......? 看来又得找条新船了,她想,大概这次效忠之旅,不会如自己想象的那般顺利……吧?
