Thisis the placegloomysecret room, on the tablehasseveralignitingcandles. Before the table, hastwomento bend downon the parchment, a cough, the eye socketgets sucked.
这是座阴暗的密室,桌上有几只点着的蜡烛。桌前有两个男人俯在羊皮纸上,其中一个不停的咳嗽,眼窝深陷。„Inconceivable...... youthesedamnconfidential papers that fromwheredo come up with?”
“不可思议……你从什么地方搞来的这些该死的机密文件?”Zelinis exclaiming in surprise, eyestubbornlyis staring in the hand the mildewyparchment. Afterseparates, KeDingerimmediatelyfoundhim, letshimandto a secretbase.泽林惊叹着,眼睛死死的盯着手中发霉的羊皮纸。和罗契分开后,柯定尔立刻找到了他,让他和自己到一处秘密基地。„Toldyou, youwill not believe...... consider as finished, do not ask, the securitywas the professional ethics of spying.”KeDingeris coughing, the handkerchiefcoversto be quiet. „Planfiveyears ago started, do youunderstandnow? Nowall, havinghalfare not the coincidences. Order of the Flaming Rose, the variantpersonarmy, TemeriaandRedania, the royal familymarries. Damnbrothers. Hashalf, is deferring to the establishedpathadvance. The remainingother halfareempirebothering.”
“告诉你,你也不会信……算了,你还是别问了,保密是侦探的职业操守。”柯定尔咳嗽着,手帕捂住嘴。“有一个计划从五年前就开始了,你现在明白了吗?现在发生的一切,有一半不是巧合。烈焰蔷薇骑士团,变种人部队,泰莫利亚和瑞达尼亚,王室联姻。该死的兄弟。有一半,是在按照既定的轨迹前进。剩下另一半是帝国这个搅局者。”
The Zelinvisionliftsfrom the sheepskinvolume, looked that tothrows in trash can decide the bloodstainedhandkerchief.泽林的目光从羊皮卷上抬起,看向将染血的手帕扔到垃圾桶里的柯定尔。„Youtook tomyinformation is too odd, tomedoes not knowoddlywhethershouldthinkyoufordesiremorebonuses, the sheepskinvolume and sealfile that made.”
“你带给我的情报太离谱了,离谱到我不知道是否该认为你只是为了想要更多奖金,才弄出来的羊皮卷和密封档案。”„Iam very gratified, representyouto understand the abovethispile at sixes and sevenscharactersto combineto representwhatmeaningtogether.”
“那我很欣慰,代表你看懂上面这堆乱七八糟的字组合到一起代表什么含义。”„Alloriginsarebecausefiveyears ago thatwar......”
“一切的起源都是因为五年前的那场大战……”„Exactly said that isfiveyears ago after north-southwar , the peace treaty of signing.”KeDingerarrives atanother side of the table, twosupporton the desktop. „Naturally, start of matterinwar. In July 1267, the Vizimirsecondkingwas assassinatedbyhalfElfassassin, in November of the same year, Dixpenetratingwent toWillon behalf ofRedania, requested the financial aid, toform the heavyarmorregiment that canresist the Nilfgaardarmy. Ibelieve,Dixpenetratingbroughtto prepareshamedat that time. ButWillis the state that Redaniacanseek helponly, becausein the blood relationship, Willroyal family and Redaniaroyal familyis most intimate. Howeverispair of brothers of having a falling out.”
“确切说,是五年前南北大战后签订的和平条约。”柯定尔走到桌子另一边,两手撑在桌面上。“当然,事情的开始是在大战中。1267年7月,维兹米尔二世国王被半精灵刺客刺杀,同年11月,迪科斯彻代表瑞达尼亚前往柯维尔,请求资金援助,以组建一支可以对抗尼弗迦德大军的重甲军团。我相信,迪科斯彻当时是带着做好被羞辱的准备去的。但柯维尔是瑞达尼亚唯一可以求助的国度,因为在血缘关系上,柯维尔王室与瑞达尼亚王室最亲近。不过是一对闹翻的兄弟。”„Yes, Iknow. In the pastWillwasRedania the place of border, RadowWadeGreat Emperorcannot endurehisambitiousbrothersTroyto ascendtocoveting of oneselfthrone, thereforethenhisCountto seal/conferfor, rushed to the remotepoorplace, andorderedTroyto ascendcannotleave the land that thisobtainednewly, moreovercannotinterfere with the Redaniaaffairs of state, evenneverrequestedthemto payanytribute and wealth, ifpaid the tribute, means that RadowWadeGreat Emperormustin the new yearseethatface that madehimloathe. Finallyno onehas thought,Will'simmigrationinfrozenundergroundfound the countlessnatural resourcesunexpectedly, can be as good as the Mahakamgoldenmine.”
“是的,我知道。当年柯维尔是瑞达尼亚的边境之地,拉多维德大帝忍受不住他那个野心勃勃的兄弟特洛伊登对自己王位的觊觎,于是便将他封为伯爵,赶到遥远的贫苦之地,并且下令特洛伊登绝不能离开这块新取得的土地,而且不能干涉瑞达尼亚的国家事务,甚至从来不要求他们缴纳任何贡品和钱财,因为如果缴纳贡品,就意味着拉多维德大帝必须在新年的时候见到那张令他厌恶的脸。结果谁也没想到,柯维尔的移民居然在冰封之地下找到数不尽的自然资源,抵得上玛哈坎的黄金矿场。”„From RadowWade III, eachKingRedaniawere looking down upon the land that throwsinthemdistressedin the past. Thinks, poorrelative who in the pastlooked down upon, nowturned into the northmost famousrich and powerful people, andalsotaughtoneselfin the war of Bula Riverruthlessly. Now, the Redaniaperson must requestWill'saidbrazenly. Thereforeat that timeonly thenDixpenetratingfrom an ordinary familyis willingto go toWill, otherNobledo not would ratherthis.”KeDingerfingeraccording to inoneline of small characters. „According to the information, Dixpenetratingreceived the secretinterview of KingYsTeuladeat that time, theydiscussedis very long.”
“从拉多维德三世开始,每一任瑞达尼亚国王都在痛心于他们当年看不起而扔出去的土地。想一想,当年看不起的穷亲戚,现在变成了北方最有名的富豪,并且还在布拉河之战中狠狠的教训了自己一顿。现在,瑞达尼亚人还要厚着脸皮去请求柯维尔的援助。所以当时只有一个平民出身的迪科斯彻愿意前往柯维尔,其他贵族都不情愿这样做。”柯定尔的手指按在其中一行小字上。“根据情报来看,当时迪科斯彻接到伊斯特拉德国王的秘密接见,他们谈了很久。”„Don't youknowtheirconversationcontents?”
“你不知道他们的交谈内容?”„Specific content, only thenKingYsTeuladeandQueenSuhrandDixpenetratingoneselfknow. ButWillcannotattack the empireon own initiative, cannotaid the enemy in empire, thisis the contract that KingEysterLearandEmperorGoose Reyessign, the priceisempire'sonlylevies the extremelylowtarifftoall the commodityfromWill.”KeDingerspreads out the hand. „Butwecanlook at the result,......”spyingcoughedsuddenlyseveral, hemakes a fistto arrivesingle-handedbefore the mouth, after coughedlayer on layer/heavilyseveral, tradesto be panting.
“具体内容只有伊斯特拉德国王、祖尔卡王后和迪科斯彻本人知道。但柯维尔不能主动进攻帝国,也不能援助帝国的敌人,这是埃斯特里尔・帝森国王和佛古斯・恩瑞斯皇帝签订的契约,代价则是帝国对所有来自柯维尔的商品只征收极低的关税。”柯定尔摊开手。“但我们可以看结果,咳咳……”侦探忽然又咳嗽了几声,他单手握拳抵在嘴前,重重的咳了几声后,才换过气来。„Are yougood?”
“你还好吗?”„It‘s nothing, old problem.”KeDingerbeckons with the hand. „Thensaida moment ago. When the firstnorth-southwar, Willobserves the contract, has not sent out the soldiertoNorthern Kingdoms. ButEmhyrEmperorReyesis not willingto observe the contractlikehis fatherobviously, matter that Iwantto changeWillattitude happened onOctober 16 , 1267.

ThenRedaniahiresthisarmyimmediately, andputs to resistin the frontline of black-clothed person. Freikorpsinsisted that to1268, butRedaniarecruited4000heavy cavalriesand35,000soldiersin the nation.”
“没什么,老毛病了。”柯定尔摆了摆手。“接着刚才的说。在第一次南北大战的时候,柯维尔遵守契约,没有向北方诸国派出一兵一卒。但恩希尔・恩瑞斯皇帝显然不像他的父亲那样愿意遵守契约,我想改变柯维尔态度的事情是在1267年10月16日发生的。恩希尔进攻弗登的时候,和弗尔泰斯特签署一项和平条约,以确保侧翼的安全。结果恩希尔用了十六天拿下弗登后,立刻撕毁和约,闪电般的偷袭布鲁格和索登,并且拿下了泰莫利亚在雅鲁迦河边境上的所有要塞。所以,现在我们可以知道结果,那就是一群柯维尔人宣布成立一支自由军团,一群强悍的雇佣兵,由职业军事院校出身的军官率领战士。然后瑞达尼亚立刻雇佣了这支部队,并投放到对抗黑衣人的前线中。自由军团坚持到1268年,而瑞达尼亚在全国境内招募了四千名重骑兵和三万五千名士兵。”„ThisisWillandRedania, tore to pieces the firstcooperation after facial skinin the past years.”Zelinnods. „Thenthreatenedvanishes.”
“这是柯维尔和瑞达尼亚,在当年撕破脸皮后的第一次合作。”泽林点点头。“然后威胁就消失了。”„No, mygoodWitcher, the threatnot onlynot to have disappeared, the peace treatyis the realthreat.”Waving the arms about that KeDingerexpects too much. „Can't youlook? After the peace treatysignshow manyyearshadwhat? Youcanbuywool blanketinVizima, canin the mandrake that CuiTuogepharmacybuysMulak, canseeto loveToriai's the freighter of shipyardin the Redaniaharbor, canfindthatSyre'srose wineinMaliwave, butMaliwavewas also siegedseveralmonths of fiveyears ago by the Nilfgaardregiment. Vizimaevenhas the Nilfgaardmerchantassociationoffice.”
“不,我的好狩魔猎人啊,威胁不仅没有消失,和平条约才是真正的威胁。”柯定尔恨铁不成钢的甩着手。“你难道就看不出来吗?和平条约签订后的几年发生了什么?你可以在维吉玛买到艾宾的毛毯,可以在崔托格的药店买到亚穆拉克的曼德拉草,可以在瑞达尼亚的港口看到爱托里亚的造船厂的货船,可以在马里波找到那赛尔的玫瑰酒,而马里波在五年前还被尼弗迦德军团围困了数个月之久。维吉玛甚至都有尼弗迦德商人协会办事处。”„Itoodo not pay attention tothese.”Zelindrysaying.
“我不太关注这些。”泽林干巴巴的说道。„Warsimplyhad not ended, the warhas been continuing.”KeDingerholding downparchment. Inflownorth that „the Nilfgaardcommoditynon-stop, peopleare willingto purchase the empirecommodityrather than the northcargo, inmain street and small alleyeverywhereis a northcommoditymore inferiorrumor. Even ifjuststartedpeoplenot to believe that butafterfiveyears of dissemination, the Nilfgaardcommodityhas become the high-qualitysynonymnow, but the cargo that in the northernworkshopproducesnobody will ask, youknow that whatresultthiswill cause?

“战争根本没有结束,战争一直都在继续。”柯定尔按住羊皮纸。“尼弗迦德的商品不停的流入北方,人们更愿意购买帝国商品而非北方货物,大街小巷上到处都是北方商品更加低劣的流言。就算刚开始人们不相信,但经过五年的传播,如今尼弗迦德商品已经成为了优质的代名词,而北方的工坊中出产的货物无人问津,你知道这会导致什么结果吗?北方的工人失业、农夫卖不出作物,商人只能进口帝国产品,更多南方商人带着货物到北方来并被抢购一空,他们更愿意使用弗朗而非克朗结账。过不了多久,北方各国的人们都会将他们手里的货币换成弗朗,而每一座弗朗币的铸造厂都在帝国境内。再过十年,北方人的生活中将只剩下帝国货物、流通的也是帝国钱币,北方将成为帝国的商品倾销市场,而那时,无论帝国的商人打算开出什么价格,哪怕是用假冒伪造的货物进行交易,北方人也没得选,因为本地的工厂早就关门大吉了。”„But the northernkingwill not allowthissituationto happen.”
“但北方的国王不会允许这种情况发生。”„Isuspectedvery muchmanykingsnotice the threatfromcommodity.”KeDingershrugs. „ButRadowWade Vis one of them, Will'sTancred is also one of them. Thinks, ifin the summit, Redaniabecomes the northernlead goat, evensaid,becomes the Northern Kingdomssuzerain. Willcanrely on the Redaniastrength, competeswithNilfgaardin the market, but the financial resource that Redania can also useWill, form a more powerfulinfantry regimentandKnight Order. Will'scruiseris controlling the northerncoastline, but the Redaniaregimentguards each fort in YaluKariver bank. Youknow,what the northland powermost powerfulancientkingdom and union of naval powermost powerfulemergingcommercial empireis representing?”
“我很怀疑有多少国王注意到来自商品的威胁。”柯定尔耸耸肩。“但拉多维德五世是其中之一,柯维尔的坦克雷德也是其中之一。想一想,如果在高峰会中,瑞达尼亚成为北方的领头羊,甚至说,成为北方诸国的宗主国。柯维尔则可以借助瑞达尼亚的力量,在市场上与尼弗迦德竞争,而瑞达尼亚也可以利用柯维尔的财力,组建更加强大的步兵团和骑士团。柯维尔的巡洋舰掌控着北方的海岸线,而瑞达尼亚的军团严守雅鲁迦河上的每一座要塞。你知道,北方陆军实力最强大的古老王国与海军实力最强大的新兴商业王国的结合代表着什么?”
The foolscanlook that thismeansanything.
傻瓜都能看出来这意味着什么。„Alsowants the powerfulnorthernempirecompared withNilfgaard......”
“一个比尼弗迦德还要强大的北方帝国……”Zelinunderstandsimmediately.泽林立刻明白了。WhythisisKaedwenandin the Vergenwar, Feilibawill standinVergenthat sidereason. WeakensKaedwen, lettingKaedwenis unable to act asbotheringin the plan that afterwardnorthernempireestablished. ThiswhyTancredwill also present the reasoninpeace talks, hemustcompromise the conflict of Aedirn, VergenandKaedwen, andmakesotherkingdomsacknowledge that Vergenindependence, with the aid of the TatQi'selegantreputation and ensure the northprovokingbecause ofempirewill then not presentmorefarmerrebellions.
这就是为什么科德温和弗坚的战争中,菲丽芭会站在弗坚那一边的原因。削弱科德温,让科德温无法在后来的北方帝国建立的计划中充当搅局者。这也正是为什么坦克雷德会出现在和平谈判中的原因,他必须调和亚甸、弗坚和科德温的冲突,并且让其他王国承认弗坚的独立性,借助萨琪雅的名声,来确保北方接下来不会因帝国的挑动而出现更多的农民暴动。ThereforeHenrySertspares nothingalso to takeVergen, even ifhistoryascendsNiceto pledgeveryhighsummationcondition.
所以亨赛特不惜一切代价也要拿下弗坚,哪怕史登尼斯已经开出很高的求和条件。Hemustcreateoneto resistWill and Kaedwenempire of RedaniaAlliance, rather than annexedbyotherboth.
他要创造一个可以对抗柯维尔与瑞达尼亚联盟的科德温帝国,而不是被另外两者吞并。„NorthernEmpireImperial familyparliament.”KeDingeris pointing at a noun on secretfile. The representative who „Qielegant gatheringtakes the northernfarmerenters the parliament. Sheis a saintess, will not makeotherNoble in parliament feel shamed. But the farmerswill be wild with joyfor this reason, oncetheyhave a channel of saferexpressiondemand, the empirespies are very difficultto encouragethemto become the rioter, starts the rebellion.”
“北方帝国皇家议会。”柯定尔指着秘密档案上的一个名词。“萨琪雅会作为北方农夫的代表进入议会。她是圣女,不会让议会里的其他贵族感到被羞辱。而农夫们会为此欣喜若狂,一旦他们有一个更安全的表达需求的渠道,帝国特务就很难鼓动他们成为暴民,掀起叛乱。”„Newbornnorthernempire of unity, withancient, butcivil strifeunceasingsouthernempire.”Both hands of spyinggrasptwofists. „RadowWadeandTancredwill becometwoaltogetherto govern the emperor, so long asgivesthemtenyears, when the strength of empireweakensin the political struggle and rebellionunceasingly.

“新生而团结的北方帝国,和古老而内乱不断的南方帝国。”侦探的双手握成两个拳头。“拉多维德和坦克雷德会成为两名共治皇帝,只要给他们十年,等到帝国的实力在政治斗争和叛乱中不断削弱。想一想,五年来,帝国内部爆发了三场大规模叛乱,更别说阿梅尔以北的行省中,荒原全部掌握在游击队的手里。如果再加上一股强大的外部势力援助呢?帝国境内又会出现多少场叛乱?当新的南北战争爆发后,你认为获胜的会是谁?”„...... The northregimentwill sweep across the southlike the cold wind of big dragonmountain range.”
“……北方军团会像巨龙山脉的寒风一样席卷南方。”
