The first fleet leaves Tolos eighth day, in those days has hidden in the cloud layer observes White Dragon of New Ghis city to vanish secretly. 第一舰队离开托洛斯第八天,往日一直躲在云层偷偷观察新吉斯城的白龙消失。 At this time, the allied armies' first fleet has left Slaver's Bay, leaves the Maiden of Freedom Isle category, enters broader Gulf of Grief. 此时,盟军第一舰队已经离开离开奴隶湾,离开自由少女岛的范畴,进入更宽阔的悲痛海湾。 This evening, Tolos City Lord Barro Terilys such as was the same in the past, before going to sleep, city garrison Commander in the city called the question in turn. 这一晚,托洛斯城主巴洛·特利里斯如往常一样,在入睡之前,依次把城里各位城防统领叫过来问话。 Terilys is also one of the Fourteen Flames, with another fire peak family Varolys joint administration Tolos. 特利里斯也是十四火峰之一,与另一火峰家族瓦罗里斯共同管理托洛斯。 Originally City Lord should hold the post by Pihelo of Varolys, Pihelo is just in the prime of life, is the Barro son-in-law, happen to deals with opposite shore stronger and stronger Dragon Queen. 本来城主应该由瓦罗里斯家的皮耶罗担任,皮耶罗正年富力强,还是巴洛的女婿,正好应付对岸越来越强势的龙女王。 But one month ago, transmits an invitation from Mantarys, the Jaen personal letter: Needs bloodlines noble Valyria Warrior. 但在一个月前,从玛塔里斯传来一份邀请,杰妮的亲笔信:需要血脉高贵的瓦雷利亚战士。 Tolos with Elyria of next door , like Mantarys and Oros, belongs to Valyria directly under. 托洛斯和隔壁的艾蕾莉亚,与玛塔里斯、奥罗斯一样,都属于瓦雷利亚直辖地。 -- is strange, compared with Mantarys, Elyria and Tolos is nearer from Fourteen Flames of cataclysm center, these two cities were not cursed completely affect. ——非常诡异,与玛塔里斯相比,艾蕾莉亚与托洛斯距离灾变中心的十四火峰更近,偏偏这两城完全不受诅咒影响。 Even so, Tolos had not broken the relation with Mantarys of place of curse. 即便如此,托洛斯也没与诅咒之地的玛塔里斯断了联系。 Recently 400 years, many living materials from Tolos, transported Mantarys along Valyrian road. 最近四百年,很多生活物资都是从托洛斯,沿着瓦雷利亚大道运到玛塔里斯的。 Therefore, information between Tolos and Lands of Long Summer is not unenlightened. 所以,托洛斯与长夏之地之间的信息并不闭塞。 The Tolos person knows that Oros Jaen Belaerys, knows Mantarys Baani Meraxes. 托洛斯人知道奥罗斯的杰妮·贝勒里斯,知道玛塔里斯的班尼·米拉西斯。 Receives the Jaen letter, no hesitates, Pihelo then leads a bloodlines noble youth to go to Mantarys, the City Lord position falls on aged actually brilliant Barro. 接到杰妮的来信,没有一丝迟疑,皮耶罗便带领一众血脉高贵的青年前往玛塔里斯,城主的位置落在老迈却睿智的巴洛身上。 „Sir City Lord, west gate all normal, today does not have the outsider to enter Tolos.” Western city defends the Commander report to say. “城主大人,西城门一切正常,今日没有外乡人进入托洛斯。”西城守备统领报告道。 Carves dragon red sandalwood wooden table following Barro, scooped up one spoon of breast milk lotus seed thick soup with the White Jade soup ladle, puts in the mouth to chew carefully to swallow into the throat, asked: „Can the Western Camp mercenary be calm and steady?” 雕龙紫檀木桌后面的巴洛,用白玉汤勺舀了一勺人乳莲子羹,放入嘴里细嚼慢咽吞入喉咙,才问道:“西大营的佣兵可还安稳？” „As usual causes trouble, today also has the sheep of three mercenary larceny manors, small town Maiden of four mercenary sturdy/rape Valyria bloodlines.” silver hair and purple eyes defends Commander to constrain was saying angrily. “与往常一样惹是生非,今天又有三名佣兵偷窃庄园的羊,四名佣兵强健一位瓦雷利亚血脉的市镇少女。”银发紫眸的守备统领压抑着愤怒说道。 „Bang-- crash-bang!” “嘭——哗啦！” The blue vein on old person back of the hand enters the tree root to blow up, sweeps in the desktop fiercely, the soup bowl including the soup spoon to pound to fall on the place together. 老人手背上的青筋入树根鼓起,猛地在桌面一扫,汤碗连着汤匙一起砸落在地。 „That crowd of chop suey, will send to Meereen to work as the cannon fodder sooner or later!” City Lord Barro cursed. “那群杂碎,早晚送去弥林当炮灰！”巴洛城主咒骂道。 Western city defends to sigh secretly, understood the meaning of Sir City Lord: We also need the mercenary to cope with Mother of Dragons, turns big problems into small ones and small ones into no problems at all. 西城守备暗自叹口气,明白了城主大人的意思:我们还需要佣兵对付龙之母,大事化小,小事化了。 Then he silently was good a ritual, said goodbye to leave. 然后他默默行了一礼,告辞离开。 „ north city all well, without unrest, without spy, outside city gate grain storage and arsenal in also safe Beidaying. “北城一切安好,没有骚乱,没有间谍,城门外北大营的粮库与军火库也安全无虞。 3 : 00 pm, Gylo Rhegan the Shoemaker Long Lances, altogether 1600 cavalries, 4000 infantries along Valyrian road, since Mantarys comes, they also bring 500 Scorpion( Scorpion). ” north city defends Commander to come the report. 下午 3 点,‘鞋匠’吉洛·雷哈的长枪团,一共1600名枪骑兵,4000步兵沿着瓦雷利亚大道,从玛塔里斯过来,他们还带来500台蝎子弩(射龙弩)。”北城守备统领过来汇报。 „I know shoemaker Jig, he is a guest in my City Lord mansion.” “我知道鞋匠吉格,他正在我的城主府做客。” In front of Barro exchanges one bowl of lotus seed soup, every night before going to sleep, eats one bowl of mother's milk is his custom. 巴洛面前又换上一碗莲子汤,每晚入睡前吃一碗母乳是他的习惯。 „In addition Long Lances, Tolos almost three ten thousand army, 2000 Scorpion, then I can sleep finally safely.” Old City Lord said with a sigh satisfiedly. “加上长枪团,托洛斯差不多有三万大军,2000台蝎子弩,这下我终于可以安心睡一觉了。”老城主满足地叹息道。 After north city defends to leave, what come is south city defends. 北城守备离开后,来的是南城守备。 The city south sea, south city defends also to be responsible for the wharf security simultaneously. 城南面海,南城守备同时还负责码头安全。 „Sir City Lord, 7 the sea boats from New Ghis enters the wharf today, four provisions ships, three think of the Astapor strong liquor, white sugar and white paper.” “城主大人,今日有七艘来自新吉斯的海船进入码头,四艘运粮船,三艘装着阿斯塔波烈酒、白糖与白纸。” „Very good,” City Lord Barro nods, said with a smile with ease, „ left from the first fleet, I have been worried about Dragon Queen to use diversionary tactics, she most liked doing this. “很好,”巴洛城主点点头,轻松笑道,“自第一舰队离开,我一直担心龙女王声东击西,她最喜欢干这个。 Recently eight days, the Tolos sea boat quantity almost stabilized every day invariably, explained that had not been cut off to the New Ghis route from Tolos. ” 最近八天,每一天来托洛斯的海船数量差不多都稳定不变,说明从托洛斯到新吉斯的航道并没被阻隔。” „Sir City Lord is wise!” south city defends to think highly to say. “城主大人英明！”南城守备恭维道。 „Is only, I heard that Slaver's Bay has blocked the trade, but can also buy their white sugar and strong liquor?” City Lord curious say/way. “只是,我听说奴隶湾已经封锁贸易,还能买到他们的白糖与烈酒吗？”城主好奇道。 The allied armies supreme headquarters are too far from Slaver's Bay, Mantarys not grain production, recent New Ghis to the Tolos also more than 1000 kilometers, even if walks the marine transportation, the cost of long-distance transport commodity is also too high. 盟军大本营距离奴隶湾太远,玛塔里斯不产粮,最近的新吉斯到托洛斯也有一千多公里,哪怕走海运,长途运输物资的成本也太高。 Without a doubt, from Dragon Queen that purchase commodity, not only the price concession( Dragon Queen is carrying out promotion), from is also very near. 毫无疑问,从龙女王那购买物资,不仅价格优惠(龙女王在搞促销),距离也很近。 If Dragon Queen is willing to sell the grain, the allied armies estimated that must die happily: Buys the grain from Dragon Queen this, transports/fortunes to opposite Tolos, then provides for from Mantarys to the Meereen allied armies, simply too...... do not indulge in fantasy. 如果龙女王肯卖粮食,盟军估计要开心死:从龙女王这买粮,运到对面的托洛斯,然后供养从玛塔里斯到弥林的盟军,简直不要太......太异想天开。 Dragon Queen never sells the grain! 龙女王从来不卖粮食！ She sells the olive oil, sells the liquor of sweet potato and grape brewing, sells white sugar that Beetroot makes, sells the refined salt, sells the textile, even sells the copperware( not to sell iron, only buys iron), but does not sell the wheat and rough rice, even the potato and dried sweet potato do not sell. 她卖橄榄油,卖红薯、葡萄酿造的酒,卖甜菜造的白糖,卖精盐,卖纺织品,甚至卖铜器(不卖铁,只买铁),但就是不卖小麦与稻谷,连马铃薯、红薯干都不卖。 Un, she sells the highly concentrated white liquor that the sweet potato makes, actually does not sell the dried sweet potato, is listening to a little rare and beautiful flowers. 嗯,她卖红薯酿的高浓度白酒,却不卖红薯干,听着有点奇葩。 Also therefore, Astapor is exceptionally lively, the merchant from Dragon Queen that inventory, transported to New Ghis hands over to sell to the allied armies. 也因此,阿斯塔波异常繁华,商人从龙女王那进货,运到新吉斯转手卖给盟军。 -- New Ghis only one surrounding area hundred li (0.5 km) island, is unable to supply hundreds of thousands of army allied armies. ——新吉斯只一座方圆百里的岛,无法供给数十万大军的盟军。 Liquor that the allied armies drink, is the white liquor of Astapor product exchanges the water, to exchange the fruit juice ; Salt and white sugar that the allied armies eat, from Astapor ; The Wallis clothes that the allied armies military officers wear, the brocade robe, is from Slaver's Bay. 盟军喝的酒,都是阿斯塔波出品的白酒兑水、兑果汁;盟军吃的盐和白糖,也来自阿斯塔波;盟军军官穿的华丽丝衣,锦袍,还是来自奴隶湾。 Even, wages that the allied armies soldiers pay out every month, copper coin and silver coin, from Slaver's Bay-- Dragon Queen mint product. 甚至,盟军士兵每个月发的工资,铜币、银币,也来自奴隶湾——龙女王造币厂出品。 Why can Dany do that? 丹妮为什么要这么做？ Because the marine traders do not come Slaver's Bay empty-handed, they are also the things that Dany brings her to need, fine iron, end product sword, boiled leather, sheepskin, whale oil, even rice and wheat. 因为海商都不是空手来奴隶湾的,他们也为丹妮带来她需要的东西,精铁,成品刀剑,熟牛皮,羊皮,鲸油,甚至大米、小麦。 Right, really has the marine trader to resell the grain ration of allied armies, because Dragon Queen bids high, gives back to the subsidy! 没错,真有海商倒卖盟军的口粮,因为龙女王出价高,还给补贴啊！ 100 jin (0.5 kg) rice, trades 10 jin (0.5 kg) highly concentrated white liquor, 10 white liquors exchange 200 jin (0.5 kg) sweet wine. 一百斤大米,换十斤高浓度白酒,十白酒兑200斤甜酒。 Because the rice is the subsidy project, is not only exempted from tax, but can also attain and sell grain and other 3 discount volumes of volume. 由于大米属于补贴项目,不仅免税,还能拿到与出售粮食等额的三折优惠卷。 Gives an example, Zhang San sold the grain of value 100 dollars in Slaver's Bay, he bought the white liquors of 100 dollars in Slaver's Bay, before leaving, Dragon Queen will compensate his 30 dollars again the gold. 举个例子,张三在奴隶湾卖了价值100块钱的粮食,他在奴隶湾买了100块钱的白酒,离开前,龙女王会再补偿他30块钱的黄金。 This business... who can withstand to seduce? 这生意...谁能经受得住诱惑？ Even, the allied armies also know that the marine trader is selling the grain to Dragon Queen, they also turn a blind eye, even, but also encourages them. 甚至,盟军也知道海商在向龙女王卖粮食,他们也睁一只眼闭一只眼,甚至,还鼓励他们。 The reason is also very simple, from a Volantis Y100 jin (0.5 kg) grain to New Ghis, compared with Y200 jin (0.5 kg) sweet wine, which cost is higher? 原因也很简单,从瓦兰提斯运100斤粮食到新吉斯,与运200斤甜酒相比,哪个成本更高？ This tosses about, the grain of Dragon Queen increases steadily unexpectedly. 这番折腾下来,龙女王家的粮食竟有增无减。 The military clothing also by the high the silk arrange/cloth of added value and low cost, changes into the fur/superficial knowledge of low added value and high appreciation potential. 军用衣物也由高附加值、低成本的绸布,换成低附加值、高升值潜力的皮毛。 The fur/superficial knowledge can winter! 皮毛才能过冬啊！ Although-- Qarth, Volantis, New Ghis and other south coast city-states never winter, they wear the silk clothes, throws over the brocade robe. ——虽然魁尔斯、瓦兰提斯、新吉斯等南方沿海城邦从来不过冬,他们穿丝衣,披锦袍。 In addition white paper, table salt and exit|to speak of coined money kind of sudden and huge profits commodity, even the Dragon Queen crazy subsidy, the gold in her treasury still grows day after day. 再加上白纸、食盐、铸币这类暴利物资的出口,即便龙女王疯狂补贴,她金库里的黄金也日渐增长。 Is this, unexpectedly win-win?! 这,竟是双赢？！ „Targaryen, lives up to one's promises.” The city south defends the sincere say/way. “坦格利安,言出如山。”城南守备正色道。 „Oh, I have also listened to these words, what relations with us can this continue to purchase the Slaver's Bay commodity to have?” City Lord Barro curious say/way. “喔,我也听过这句话,这与我们能继续购买奴隶湾的物资有什么关系？”巴洛城主好奇道。 „In the past, Dragon Queen and Volantis, New Ghis and Qarth several small merchants have signed the contract, at any time, Slaver's Bay will not reject ‚the VIP customer’.” “当年,龙女王与瓦兰提斯、新吉斯、魁尔斯几个小商贩签订过契约,任何时候,奴隶湾都不会拒绝‘VIP客户’。” Speaking of this, the city south defends is also sad: „ The past small merchant, by with the Slaver's Bay sea trade, has grown into the pivotal big marine trader for several years. 说到这,城南守备也不由心生感慨:“当年的小商贩,靠与奴隶湾的海贸,数年间已经成长为举足轻重的大海商。 Said that Volantis Faat Duzimu, at first is only a slave, afterward became small trader's others sons in law who takes wife's name, now has the qualifications to campaign for Triarch. ” 就说瓦兰提斯的法特·多西姆,起初只是一个奴隶,后来当了一个小商人家的赘婿,如今却有资格竞选执政官了。” „Faat Duzimu? I know him, the fatty is hateful, two between our allied armies and Dragon Queen eats the advantage.” The City Lord Barro dislike said. “法特·多西姆？我知道他,那胖子可恶,在我们盟军与龙女王之间两头吃好处。”巴洛城主厌恶地说。 The city south defends to shrug, does not appraise, only continues saying: „Dragon Queen sticks to the commitment as before, because of epidemic situation to seal/confer city, is the VIP customer opens the exclusive wharf, the business continues to do.” 城南守备耸耸肩,不予评价,只继续道:“龙女王依旧坚守承诺,哪怕因疫情封城,也为VIP客户开放专属码头,生意继续做。” „So that's how it is!” “原来如此！” Barro scooped up spoon of lotus seed thick soup that increase the Astapor white sugar, swallow the belly satisfiedly. 巴洛舀了一勺添加阿斯塔波白糖的莲子羹,满足地吞下肚皮。 Waits for the city south to defend to leave, Barro also eats up the last soup, stands up to stretch oneself, sighs: „Is light actually calm and steady a day, hopes--” 等城南守备离开,巴洛也喝完最后一口汤,站起身伸了个懒腰,叹息道:“又是平淡却安稳的一天,希望——” „Bang, bang,--” “轰,轰,——” For successive three times exploded, resounded sky over the silent city. 连续三次爆炸,在寂静的城市上空响起。 „Rumble!” “轰隆隆！” The castle of City Lord mansion is rocking gently. 城主府的城堡在轻轻晃动。 „That is--” Barro complexion drastic change, shifts to the left window, sees outside probably four streets, 80 meters tall tower who may be called the city landmark in flaming burns. “那是——”巴洛面色剧变,转向左边窗口,就见大概四条街外,一座堪称城市地标的80米高塔在熊熊燃烧。 It seems torch that a velamen lights, the residents in entire city can see. 好似一根被点燃的火炬,整个城市的居民都能看到。 „That is...... the crow nest!” “那是......鸦巢！” The crow nest was attacked. 鸦巢被攻击了。 Barro gawked the moment, calls out in alarm with amazement: „The Mother of Demon Dragons attack, she must launch the general attack to Tolos, first cuts off the Tolos foreign relation intentionally.” 巴洛愣了片刻,骇然惊叫:“魔龙之母来袭,她要向托洛斯发动全面进攻,先故意掐断托洛斯对外的联系。” „Rumbling!” In the city resounds a series of suddenly/violently Ming, follows soars to the heavens the air wave, a series of flames light the jet black nighttime sky. “轰轰轰！”城市里响起一连串暴鸣,伴随冲天气浪,还有一连串火光点燃漆黑的夜空。 He in the flame noticed that the Demon Dragon form passed over gently and swiftly fast. 他在火光中看到魔龙的身影快速掠过。 Speed really quick, three dragon, without the least bit hesitate, they as if defer to plan the good route to fly, hovers, the stance exquisite deflection direction, the pathfinding, torches to burn the tower. 速度真的很快,三条巨龙,没有半点迟疑,他们似乎按照计划好的路线在飞行,一路翱翔,一路姿态优美偏转方向,寻找目标,喷火烧塔。 The flash of old City Lord god, then 78 turrets were only lit. 只老城主愣神的一瞬间,便有七八处塔楼被点燃。 All is the turret! 全是塔楼！ „Damn, is in the city the turret in construction crow nest.” “该死,都是城里修建鸦巢的塔楼。” Lay watched a meeting in the window, surpassed 50 years of old City Lord then to understand in this city life, attacked all was the crow nest. 趴在窗口看了一会,在这个城市生活超过五十年的老城主便明白,被袭击的全是鸦巢。 What does this mean? 这意味着什么？ The old person is afraid. 老人不寒而栗。 „Bang, bang, bang!” “轰,轰,轰！” The fire in city starts becomes does not have the rule, don't some places as if have the crow nest? 城市里的大火开始变得没有规律,有些地方似乎没有鸦巢？ At least in the impression of old City Lord is this. 至少在老城主的印象中是这样。 Matter that-- old City Lord does not know, three cat and three petrels after rug has searched one, definitely knows. ——老城主不知道的事,三只猫儿、三只海燕在地毯式搜索过一遍后,一定知道。 20 under only seconds, the black theater curtain covers Tolos, raises openly or covertly more than 40 „stars”. 前后仅20秒,墨色幕布掩盖下的托洛斯,就升起四十多颗或明或暗的“星辰”。 The accident fire turret, looks from afar like stars of twinkle. 失火的塔楼,远远看去就像一颗闪烁的星辰。 Again then, „bang!” 再然后,“轰！” old man's expression again changes, goes into hiding the Scorpion position around city west private residence, raises one group of mushroom cloud green flame. 老头面色再变,隐匿在城西民房周围的射龙弩阵地,升起一团蘑菇云般的绿色火焰。 15 meters high, covered 6 meters high city wall, nearby city almost under covering of green flame. 15米高,把六米高的城墙都遮盖了,附近城区几乎都在绿焰的笼罩之下。 Even if away from one li (0.5 km), the flame still reflected green Sir City Lord the dull green face. 即使隔着一里地,火光也映绿了城主大人惨绿的脸。 „Wildfire--” Barro oh sound said. “野火——”巴洛嗄声道。
