Moreover, these are from the material of Giant Dragon body are not the casual any people can attain, the powerhouse who even if just entered the legend, when facing Giant Dragon must the caution and care, probably guard against Dragon Clan the retaliation at times. In the mainland can the Dragon-slaying powerhouse actually many, is can Dragon-slaying, there is a collection wealth frantic powerhouse, was really few. 而且,那些取自巨龙身体的材料更不是随便什么人都能拿到的,哪怕刚刚进入传奇的强者,在面对巨龙时也须谨慎小心,更要时时提防龙族的报复。大陆上能够屠龙的强者其实还是不少的,可是又能屠龙,又有收集财富狂热的强者,就真的很少了。 The Deepblue midsummer revelry, gradually is therefore in fashion. Although it the scale could not have compared three big empire respective auction congresses, is in the supply side of Top Level material, the quantity or the quality, actually go beyond. 深蓝的仲夏狂欢,因此而渐渐风行。它虽然规模还比不上三大帝国各自的拍卖大会,可是在顶级材料的供应方面,无论是数量还是质量,却均有过之而无不及。 Blackgold early has bustled about. 黑金早早的就忙碌了起来。 This year's midsummer revelry scale at least is on one three times, the estimate of this quantity also merely bases on the invitation that Deepblue sends out directly, therefore the difficulty and order of complexity of preparatory work have also promoted ten times of not just. 今年的仲夏狂欢规模至少是上一届的三倍,这个数量的估算还仅仅基于深蓝直接发出的邀请,因此准备工作的难度和复杂度也就提升了十倍不止。 Deepblue’s Main Tower and fringe area must clean up the massive regions, has used for the aristocrats who is set to attend. But the massive caravans, accompany, Warrior and soldiers of fortune can the villages and small towns housing outside Deepblue. Blackgold has arranged about ten thousand slaves and over a thousand artisans, the request builds up three brand-new small towns in the shortest time, when the time comes rents to the guest to use. Midsummer after revelry, three small towns can also with doing to arrange new immigrant. 深蓝主塔和边缘区都要清理出大量区域,供已经预定将出席的贵族们使用。而大量的商队、随从、战士和雇佣兵们则可以在深蓝外的村镇居住。黑金已经安排了近万名奴隶和上千个工匠,要求在最短的时间内建起三个全新的小镇,到时候租给来客使用。仲夏狂欢过后,三个小镇还可以用做安排新移民之用。 Deepblue was getting more and more lively, the function of harbor reflects gradually, the product and productivity of Beijing University land know for the south day by day, the huge fleet starts to arrive at Floating Ice Bay. Now has not arrived at the busy season, harbor had the saturated sign, therefore vision long-term Blackgold started preparing to expand the harbor matters concerned, and lets arrive at Deepblue Great Noble clearly to realize the Beijing University land product with the aid of this carnival the value. The Top Level material is the brand, the huge basic commodity is the profit, this is the mighty current of billowing gold coin! 深蓝越来越繁华了,港口的作用逐渐凸现,北大陆的物产和丰饶日益为南方所知,庞大的船队开始一支支来到浮冰海湾。现在还没有到旺季,港口就已有饱和的迹象,所以目光长远的黑金已经着手准备扩建港口事宜,并且借助此次狂欢节让来到深蓝的大贵族们都清楚认识到北大陆物产的价值。顶级材料是品牌,庞大的基本物资是利润,这才是滚滚金币的洪流！ Once the Deepblue strength surpasses some critical point, the ambitious grey dwarf must consider that to matters concerned that the Beijing University land expands. Right, the Beijing University land is powerful, good to fight the ruthless polar grey dwarf and Orc world bravely, similarly what the polar grey dwarf became famous is can buy. The Blackgold preparation draws support from gradually the tribe that own special status corrodes the grey dwarf, the final purchase goal is the hammer of storm! 一旦深蓝的实力超过某个临界点,野心勃勃的灰矮人就要考虑向北大陆扩张的事宜了。没错,北大陆是实力雄厚、好勇斗狠的极地灰矮人和兽人的天下,但是极地灰矮人同样出了名的是可以收买的。黑金准备借助自己的特殊身份逐步侵蚀灰矮人的部落,最终的购买目标则是风暴之锤！ However the blueprint is grand, at present the most important work is actually takes inventory the thing that Legendary Mage throws to prepare to auction, Blackgold must them reorganize as soon as possible according to groups, appraises the value, checks the upset price, gives the artist to make the auction catalog again. The time are not much. 不过蓝图是宏伟的,眼下最重要的工作却是清点传奇法师扔出来准备拍卖的东西,黑金要尽快把它们分门别类整理好,鉴定出价值,核定拍卖底价,再交给画师做成拍卖目录。时间不多了。 In over a hundred square meters room, various strange and bewildered things have piled about ten meters high! Under various junks, is burying unexpectedly also a complete great Dragon Bones bone! Any Necromancer saw, will be crazy. But the mood of grey dwarf slightly has the difference, in this big pile must raise head in front of the buried treasure that looks, he from has appeared so diminutive. Must want to clean up the classification them, is not relaxed living. 在一间上百平方米的房间内,各类稀奇古怪、莫名其妙的东西足足堆了将近十米高！在各类杂物之下,居然还埋着一具完整的巨龙骸骨！任何一个亡灵法师看到了,都会为之疯狂。可是灰矮人的心情却稍有异样,在这一大堆必须仰着头看的宝藏面前,他自已显得如此矮小。要想把它们清理分类,绝不是一件轻松的活。 The quantity of Blackgold assistant in Archmage is always least, this time after he arranges the aspects work, discovered that even does not have many individual hands to leave itself. On the side of Blackgold is pasting the label toward the star meteorite on together, first time starts to consider to increase the manpower, so long as thinks that is going for these people the gold coin that pays from own account, the grey dwarf shook the head immediately firmly, by a bigger enthusiastic input to work. 黑金助手的数量在大魔导师中一向是最少的,以至于这次当他安排好方方面面工作后,发现甚至没有多一个人手留给自己。黑金一边往一块星陨石上贴着标签,第一次开始考虑增添人手,但是只要一想到将要为这些人从自己账面上支付出去的金币,灰矮人立刻坚定地摇了摇头,以更大的热情投入到工作中去。 The principle of Legendary Mage choice something by auction is actually very simple, she soon will be expired, cannot clarify the use, is reprehensible, the thing that as well as really cannot put down flings. With the lapse of time, the Legendary Mage collection is also having the change. First is increase in absolute quantity, then various rare and precious materials as well as are from the rare biological the material proportion also rapidly to promote. The project of another promotion is various rare metal minerals that Norland itself does not produce. But among powerhouses general currency, various magic crystals, steadily are also increasing. Many rare and precious holdings originally, are getting more and more difficult to enter the Legendary Mage discernment with the lapse of time, must be cleaned up finally. The Legendary Mage Chu Wu warehouse is individual's exclusive Demi-plane, there not big, would packing time. 传奇法师挑选拍卖品的原则其实很简单,她会把快要过期的,弄不清用途的,看不顺眼的,以及实在放不下的东西都甩出来。随着时间的推移,传奇法师的收藏品也在发生着变化。首先就是绝对数量上的增加,然后各类珍稀材料以及取自罕见生物的材料占比也在迅速提升。另一个提升的项目则是诺兰德本身并不出产的各种稀有金属矿产。而强者之间通用的货币,各类魔法水晶,也在稳定增加着。许许多多原本的珍稀藏品,随着时间的推移越来越难入传奇法师的法眼,以致于最后要被清理出来。传奇法师储物的仓库都是个人专属的半位面,那里可没有多大,总会有装满的时候。 For example that dragon bone, 20 years ago is the Sharon core collection, 20 years later turns into the waste precious space the trash. 比如说那副龙骨,20年前是苏海伦的核心珍藏,20年后就变成浪费宝贵空间的垃圾。 But from once midsummer the product of auction, the person with high aspirations can also adopt the reversion to speculate that every four years judges the Legendary Mage strength and wealth approximately. As midsummer the product of revelry auction is day by day rich and rare, Deepblue also gave the mainland tyrants to transmit a clear signal, that was the Legendary Mage strength was still in the fast rise in the channel. Therefore after each midsummer carnival, Deepblue will welcome four years of fast prosperity. 而从每四年一度仲夏拍卖会的出品上,有心人也能通过逆向推测大致判断出传奇法师的实力和财富。随着仲夏狂欢拍卖会的出品日益丰富和稀有,深蓝也给大陆豪强传递了一个清晰的信号,那就是传奇法师的力量仍然处于快速上升的通道里。所以每一届仲夏狂欢节后,深蓝都会迎来快速繁荣的四年。 Midsummer the revelry is the Deepblue genuine grand meeting. This is realizes the dream the grand meeting, is night of an opportunity of soaring to the heavens, the possibility of suddenly exploding. The majority arrives at the Deepblue aristocrat taking the opportunity to develop the personal connection network, the average person also has to be usually more than on several times of opportunities to contact power and influence, may obtain to vainly hope for beside the opportunity. Midsummer revelry, season that the spirit is in flood, as well as numerous young girls, when prefers or does not prefer is towed to go to bed. 仲夏狂欢是深蓝真正的盛会。这是实现梦想的盛会,是一夜冲天的机会,是骤然暴发的可能。大部分来到深蓝的贵族可以借机拓展人脉网络,普通人也有比平时多上几倍的机会接触到权势者,有可能获得梦想之外的机会。仲夏狂欢,还是酒精泛滥的时节,以及众多少女在情愿或不情愿间被人拖上床的时候。 Actually three months ago, Deepblue started to prepare for the midsummer revelry. This kind of holiday regarding Richard and Stevenson, was meaningless. Richard defers to the suffocating rhythm to go forward as always, Stevenson at that time painfully between strengthening oneself and attacks the matches to balance. But now, because has adopted the strategy of gold coin opening, Stevenson attached great importance to the midsummer revelry unprecedentedly. If can find several Top Level enchantment materials from the Legendary Mage personal auction, will then win to have the decisive influence to the competition. 其实三个月前,深蓝就开始为仲夏狂欢作准备了。只是这类节日对于李察和斯迪文森来说,原本毫无意义。李察一如既往地按照自己让人窒息的节奏前进着,斯迪文森那时则正痛苦地在强化自身和打击对手间平衡。而现在,由于采取了金币开路的策略,斯迪文森对于仲夏狂欢前所未有地重视了起来。如果能够从传奇法师的私人拍品中找到几件顶级附魔材料,那么就会对比赛获胜产生决定性的影响。 Several plans that Saint Klaus provides, because although the Stevenson current technical capability is unable to use, but design idea valuable, if can find the specific rare and precious material, by its natural effect the alternative technology effect, can implement effectively. 圣克鲁斯提供的好几个方案,虽然因为斯迪文森目前的技术能力无法使用,但设计思路是有价值的,如果能够找到特定的珍稀材料,以其天然效果来替代技术效果,就能有效实行。 For example if obtains ice dragon Dragon Tooth, then Snow Rabbit can dramatically increase the ice-cold resistance, moreover are many incorruptible spear/gun and frost cold Ciji two new abilities. Fire Dragon Skin can make Snow Rabbit obtain the cold immunity the effect, the Winter Wolf talent magic will expire from this. magic crystal of abyss scavenger giant beast will make Snow Rabbit spout the strong corrosive acid liquor, let alone Winter Wolf, was the polar mammoth is spurted, body also many several gulfs. 比如说如果得到冰龙龙牙,那么雪兔就可以大幅增加冰冷抗性,而且多出冰霜之枪和霜冷刺击两个新能力。火龙皮则可以让雪兔获得寒冷免疫的效果,冬狼的天赋魔法将由此失效。深渊食腐巨兽的魔晶会使雪兔喷出强腐蚀性的酸液,别说冬狼,就是极地猛犸被喷中了,身上也会多几个深坑。 Another characteristics of rare material, then can drastically reduce draws up the Magic Rune difficulty. Ice-cold resistance that for example fire Dragon Skin increases can achieve 100 words, then used on Snow Rabbit only needs 10 enough to the Winter Wolf cold attack immunity. Other 90 resistances can neglect. In other words, because of material's powerful, so long as displays small some abilities, sufficiently meet the requirements of Saint Klaus, can make the difficulty reduce to can let the degree that Stevenson makes. But Stevenson inquired from the Blackgold place, in personal stock that this year Legendary Mage undersells, there is a large number with the dragon related material. 稀有材料的另一个特性,则是可以大幅降低绘制魔纹构装的难度。比如说火龙皮增加的冰冷抗性原本可以达到100的话,那么用在雪兔身上只需要10就足够对冬狼的寒冷攻击免疫了。其余90抗性可以忽略。换句话说,因为材料本身的强悍,所以只要发挥出其中一小部分能力,就足以达到圣克鲁斯的要求,也可以使难度降低到能够让斯迪文森制成的程度。而斯迪文森已经从黑金处打听到,今年传奇法师抛售的私人库存中,有相当一部分和龙有关的材料。 This is opportunistic with the procedure of extreme waste actually, since Solam Family to train Runemaster invested on the 10 million/whatever happens gold coin, then does not care increases 2,000,000-3,000,000 investments again. Otherwise, the cost of invested becomes meaningless. The grey dwarf has seen this point, instigated Legendary Mage to make has chosen the decision of Runemaster disciple in six months with the competition. In order to obtain this quota, Solam Family rolling unceasingly will certainly invest Deepblue the gold coin. 这其实是取巧和极端浪费的作法,但是既然索拉姆家族为了培养一个构装师已经投入了上千万金币,那么就不在乎再多增加两三百万的投入。否则的话,已经投入的成本就变得毫无意义。灰矮人就是看准了这一点,才唆使传奇法师做出了在半年后用比赛重新挑选构装师弟子的决定。为了得到这个名额,索拉姆家族一定会把金币滚滚不绝地投入深蓝的。 Hereafter the circumstance development fruit such as the grey dwarf expects. 此后情势的发展果如灰矮人所料。 Therefore in an internal conference, the grey dwarf introduced complacently the result of until now yielding, and was the 10 million/whatever happens gold coin of Solam Family earlier period investment has invented a noun specially, was called the sunk cost. Because looks like in the grey dwarf, this sum of money like the heavy great ship that in Floating Ice Bay submerges, although its submersion will make all investments vanish into thin air, but to rescue it, instead will draw in the seabed more ships. The sunk cost, is causes many people more to walk a farther reason on the wrong path. 所以在一次内部会议上,灰矮人得意洋洋地介绍了迄今为止取得的成果,并且为索拉姆家族前期投入的千万金币专门发明了一个名词,叫做沉没成本。因为在灰矮人看来,这笔钱就象浮冰海湾中沉没的重型巨舰一样,它的沉没虽然会使所有投入化为乌有,但是如果想要救援它的话,反而会把更多的船拖入海底。沉没成本,就是导致很多人在错误道路上越走越远的原因。 Archmage shock speechless, has not thought that Blackgold can actually comprehends so the truth from the gold coin and plot of common custom broker. They cannot help but the manner to Blackgold have had a new look. Although works together as colleagues for ten years, however the antipode grey dwarf ingrained prejudice of is actually not ten years can dilute. Although after Sharon appoints Blackgold is the finance officer, Deepblue in the acceleration way has been prospering, but all people rather think that is the testimony that the Legendary Mage strength grows, but has not related with grey dwarf anything. 大魔导师们无言震惊,没有想到黑金竟然能够从世俗市侩的金币与阴谋中领悟到如此道理。他们不由得对黑金的态度有所改观。虽然共事十年,然而对极地灰矮人根深蒂固的偏见却不是十年时间能够冲淡的。虽然苏海伦任命黑金作财务官之后,深蓝一直以加速方式繁荣着,但是所有人都宁可认为那是传奇法师力量增长的见证,而与灰矮人没什么关系。 But in the past ten years, the grey dwarf also had always been making efforts to transforms a viewpoint in people brains, that is, finance officer, not only accounting. 而在过去十年中,灰矮人也一直致力于改造人们头脑中的一个观点,那就是,财务官并不只是个记帐的。 The upper formation has the upper-level politics, intermediate level has the middle-level pressure, but so long as the lower-level people actually completed the requested matter have been OK, even does not need to do too well. If this request cannot achieve, then only then two outlets, degenerates to the social construction lowest level, depends to break the rule simply, subverts the social stratum, overthrows upper formation originally in the way of violence, then after the new upper formation obtains the right degenerates to the lowest level of society. 上层有上层的政治,中层有中层的压力,而下层的人们其实只要把被要求的事情做完就可以了,甚至不需要做得太好。如果这点要求都达不到,那么就只有两条出路,一个是堕落到社会架构的最底层,一个是索性靠打破规则,颠覆阶层,以暴力的方式推翻原本的上层,然后在新的上层取得权利后重新堕落到社会的最底层。 This is the rule, Deepblue so, Sacred Alliance so, Norland Continent is also so. 这是规律,深蓝如此,神圣同盟如此,诺兰德大陆也是如此。 To a certain extent, although has obtained admittance qualifications, but the earlier period must by Legendary Mage obtains the study resources joyfully Richard is more like lower level, but has Stevenson situation of family continuous support at this moment is actually middle level. When two social strata meet by chance when the eve of midsummer revelry, naturally will not feel happy. 某种程度上,虽然取得了入学资格,但前期要靠传奇法师的喜悦来获得学习资源的李察更象是一个下层,而有着家族持续不断支援的斯迪文森此刻的处境却是中层。所以当两个阶层在仲夏狂欢的前夕偶遇时,当然不会感到愉快。
