„Newsconfirmation. Eichdied.”
“消息确认了。艾希蕾死了。”
After Eichdies the second day, a reportpresentsin the city of Nilfgaardimperial capitalgolden towerinmost luxurioustalltower.

艾希蕾死后的第二天,一张报告书就呈现在尼弗迦德帝都金塔之城中最豪华的高塔中。站在阳台上,不仅可以俯视帝都绝大部分地方,更可以将码头前的太阳之门收入眼帘。很少有人能体会到在如此豪华的高塔中俯视一个工程学与魔法相结合的奇迹的感受,但在场的人,正是那绝少数人之一。„It is not accidental/surprised, isSzilarddoes.”
“毫不意外,是希拉德做的。”13highbackseatssurroundbefore the red woodround table, the round tableis mounting the gold and jewelry, oneachseat back cushionis carving a uniquesymbol.

十三个高背座椅环绕在红木圆桌前,圆桌边镶嵌着黄金与珠宝,每一个靠背上都雕刻着一个独特的标志。属于某个古老家族的标志,但每个标志都在一个更大的标志下面-镶嵌在倒三角中的金色火焰,尼弗迦德商人协会。„Hedoesis very good.” The sound came from furniture, situated in a redlionsymbolunder. On the chair the nobody left, only has a microphone of square shape. „FitzAauessafeBaronorchidalwayslooks likein the oldcondor that on the corpsegoes aroundspinsaround the kingsgenerally, the vulturelet out, without the prey, itwill not come back.

“他做的很好。”声音来自于其中一个桌椅,位于一个红狮子标志下。椅子上空无一人,只有一个方形的传声器。“费兹奥耶斯泰兰男爵总是像在尸体上绕圈的老秃鹰一般绕着君王们打转,秃鹫放出去了,没有猎物,它不会回来。但我们亲爱的皇帝可不会喜欢这件事,维克瓦罗的阿纳兴家族失去一个重要的大法师,他们必须要考虑一下接下来要站在哪一边了。毫无疑问,恩希尔正坐在他的皇位上,盘算着这是来自什么地方的袭击。我敢说,这个精明的老混蛋正想着如何把我们连根拔起。”„Don't forget, supportedhisancientfamilyalsoto haveone.” The secondsound came from underhaving the symbols of threefive pointed stars. „Tausent, Tausent'sHenryfamily, AnnaandEmhyrarecousins.”
“别忘了,支持他的古老家族还有一个。”第二个声音来自于有着三颗五角星的标志下。“陶森特,陶森特的亨莉叶塔家族,安娜・亨莉叶塔和恩希尔是表亲。”„Thatwas only the family that a womanruled, the womanrulesTausentto have about hundred years. The Annafemaledukeis a naiveconcubine, shedoes not know the politics, onlylongs for that the peace and justice, were controlledvery mucheasily. Weonlyneedto make a minor matter, hasseveralalliesin the Tausentpalacethen, does not needto manageher, whatis truly importantisanotherArchmage, the Weisongfamily, thatdamnmagicaristocratic family.”
“那只是个女人统治的家族,女人统治陶森特已经有近百年了。安娜女公爵是个天真的小女人,她不懂政治,只渴望和平和正义,很容易被操控。我们只需要做一点小事,在陶森特宫廷中有几个盟友即可,不用去管她,真正重要的是另一个大法师,薇歌家族,那个该死的魔法世家。”„Zilla the Weisongfestwas installedwithEichAnaais popular the samecharge, sends the knight, rushes toTausentat high speed, beforeEmhyrrespondedexecutesher.”Thesetimeman who a person who spokewas the wearpale-greengown, he by the chairback, in the handis grasping the cup that was filled with the white liquor, swayedrhythmically. The glimmer of crystallampis shining upon the edge of cup. „But will the emperorgiveusso manyreaction times?

“芙琳吉拉・薇歌会被安上和艾希蕾・阿纳兴相同的罪名,派遣骑士,快马加鞭赶到陶森特,在恩希尔反应过来之前处决她。”这一次说话的人是个穿着淡绿色袍子的男人,他靠在椅背上,手里握着盛满白酒的杯子,有节奏地晃来晃去。水晶灯的微光映照着杯子的边缘。“但皇帝会给我们那么多反应时间?除去支撑他的家族的大法师,是对我们接下来的计划有所帮助,但我们必须安抚那只狮子。没有肉,它就会把饲养员当肉吃掉。”„War.” The fourthsound came from the crystal stoneprojection. „EmhyrtoKindtpeace treatyfor a long time, northhisdesirethoroughannexation, heneedsmoneyto mobilizeto be loyal tohisarmydiscontentedly, buthisstate treasuryis completely empty. In return, the merchantassociationwill givehimto mobilize the gold of 30,000soldiers. Thisis not a smallnumber, 30,000professionalsoldiers, the neededgold coincansubmerge the Emhyrpalace. If not accept the exchange, Iguesshim, when the natural deathis unable to save the nextgoing to battlesoldier's rations and pay.”
“战争。”第四个声音来自于晶石投影。“恩希尔对辛特兰和平条约不满已久,他想要彻底吞并北方,他需要钱币来动员忠于他的军队,但他的国库空空如也。作为交换,商人协会将给予他动员三万名士兵的黄金。这可不是个小数目,三万名职业士兵,需要的金币能淹没恩希尔的宫殿。如果不接受交换,我猜他等到自然死亡都无法积攒起下一次出征的军饷。”
During the great war, Emhyrrecruited150,000soldiers. Since the war of Suttonmountainended the Nilfgaardregimentto bridge overYaluKariveragainis abouttwoyears. In order tocollectmilitary expenses, the emperorreceived in exchange for the highloanwith the tax revenueprivilege.

Butwhat the merchantassociationobtains before is, was conquered, the rebellionis unceasing, southernKingdoms of urgently neededreconstruction.
第二次大战期间,恩希尔征召了十五万名士兵。自从萨顿山之战结束到尼弗迦德军团再次跨过雅鲁迦河不过两年时间。为了筹集军费,皇帝用税收特权换取了高额的贷款。按照原本的计划,当军团彻底征服北方后,皇帝可以得到来自北方的移民税收,以及以诺维格瑞为中心的高价值商业税。而商人协会得到的是之前被征服,叛乱不断,急需重建的南方诸国。ButEmpireRegimentinBrunnerdisastrous defeat, hurried backtoYaluKariversouth. Now, the merchantassociationis dominating the domesticoverwhelming majoritytrade activitiesandmanyyears of tax-freepower. Emperorremainingonlyhas the empireformer home grounds of imperial capitalsurroundingsprovince.
但帝国军团在布伦纳惨败,又被重新赶回到雅鲁迦河以南。如今,商人协会把持着国内绝大部分商业活动及多年的免税权。皇帝剩下的仅有帝都周围行省的帝国故地。„Convenes is loyal toourgenerals.” A thinmanstretches out the arm, the elbowsupportson the desktop, wieldedstarting. „Is willingfor the mercenary who the goldfights, preparescompletely safe. A hungrylion might spare nothingto robfood, butweneedto do, remindsEmhyr, observing the contractisin the world the matter of primary importance.”
“召集所有忠于我们的将军。”一名消瘦的男人伸出胳膊,胳膊肘撑在桌面上,挥了下手。“还有愿意为黄金而战的雇佣兵,做好万全准备。一头饥饿的狮子很可能会不惜一切代价抢夺食物,而我们需要做的,就是提醒恩希尔,遵守契约是世上最重要的事情。”„Mysomeare not clear, gentlemen.”Thistime, the speechis a prosperous-lookingold person, hissoundis slow, butis actually flooding the strength. „Kindtpeace treatyis no goodto the empire, the northmanopenlydeclared,saidourempireis a clay figure, the surfaceis attractive, pushesbut actually. To the damyankee a lesson, makingthemknow that whatis the custom and strength, is goodto the empire. Butwhy, goodgentlemen, youas iftobreakingKindtpeace treatyuninteresting?”
“我有些不明白,先生们。”这一次,说话是一名富态的老人,他的声音缓慢,但却充斥着力量。“辛特兰和平条约对帝国没有任何好处,北国佬公开宣称,说我们的帝国不过是一尊泥像,表面光鲜,一推就倒。给北方佬一点教训,让他们知道什么叫规矩和力量,对帝国而言是有好处的。但为什么,好绅士们,你们似乎对打破辛特兰和平条约了无兴趣?”„The person who becauseinthatwar, winstrulyiswe, Princerune/symbolLisi.

“因为在那场战争中,真正获胜的人是我们,符里斯王子。您认为和平条约对帝国有害的原因是您仍然坚持相信过去那种,宣告胜利的方式是一个人挥舞着旗帜大喊:‘我所看到的一切都归我了!我赢了!’,不,王子殿下。我们并不这么想。胜利应该是这样的-失败方不得不从胜利方那里购买物资,而且还是心甘情愿购买的,因为胜利方的物资更好也更便宜。这样一来,胜利方的货币会比失败方的货币更加值钱,而且胜利方也会对自身的文化和制度更有自信。这,才是胜利。”
