In the cold wind, personnel makeup complex and strange troops, pull out the long team, walks on going to the road in dragon Xiao city. 寒风中,一支人员成分复杂而奇怪的人马,拉出漫长的队伍,走在前往龙霄城的路上。 Although evaded tied up the misfortune that dragon Xiao city goes, but next day, Nepali Kou Lai subordinate naked sword guard as before rashly them- the stars mission „please” have the escorting range that black sand led, is been strict „escorting” to go to dragon Xiao city by them. 尽管避过了被绑到龙霄城去的厄运,但第二天,尼寇莱属下的白刃卫队依旧不由分说地将他们-星辰使团“请”出了黑沙领的护送范围,由他们严密“护送”着前往龙霄城。 The army that black sand gets slowly and follows orderly in the both sides as well as rear area, Canby and Tuller fulfill duty to fulfill responsibility as before send out to scout, is confirming the security of surrounding path. 黑沙领的军队正缓慢而有序地跟随在两侧以及后方,坎比达和图勒哈两人依旧尽职尽责地派出斥候,确认着周围道路的安全。 But naked sword guard- this group of wearing a mask elite soldiers indifferent uncommunicative, rude in attitude and unreasonable, several times also because of pushing and shoving, but almost hits with the soldiers of stars. 而白刃卫队-这群蒙面的精锐士兵冷漠寡言、态度粗鲁、不近人情,有几次还因为推搡而差点与星辰的士兵们打起来。 „...... Bright star family king Maizhong continues, the stars kingdom following has the person, this west the land the significance significant...... my meaning to entire is, the change of dominant royal family probably brings many years of the stars the confusions that is hard to return to normal, that is the entire west land, including us- Kang Masi people are not willing to see......” the middle-aged marquis of golden ponytail braid rides gracefully in immediately, exudes the second prince of kind smile to stars kingdom saying: “……璨星家族王脉重续,星辰王国后续有人,这对整个西陆而言都意义匪浅……我的意思是,统治王室的更替可能为星辰带来多年难以平复的混乱,那是整个西陆,包括我们-康玛斯人都不愿意看到的……”金色马尾发辫的中年侯爵优雅地骑在马上,泛着和蔼的笑容对星辰王国的第二王子道: „Thanked your care, marquis in Rice good class/flow city.” Rides stiffly in immediately Taiersi, is raising the similarly stiff smile, nods to that guests from Kang Masi alliance. “非常感谢您的关心,善流城的史莱斯侯爵阁下。”僵硬地骑在马上的泰尔斯,提着同样僵硬的笑脸,对那位来自康玛斯联盟的客人点了点头。 This being unsolicited guest, quite some originally seemed to be ripe. 只是这位不请自来的客人,似乎颇有些自来熟了一些。 Taiersi felt, the smile on his face before forever western Singapore city gate these dress up cleanly, respectful courteous, attentively for first time guest who will come to forever the star city will hold the post of „the local area will guide” the person same- in black street fraternity will have many such young fellows or the tomboys, they often with begging and goons have the good cooperation, will meet the appropriate goods then to start decisively, but the most good end of these guests is deceived light/only the purse dizzy, one was stolen the wallet again, more miserable one on was in some dark lane. Takes by force, naturally, the most miserable fate...... you do not want to know. 泰尔斯觉得,他脸上的笑容就像永星城西城门前那些打扮得干干净净,恭敬有礼,殷勤地为第一次来永星城的客人担任“本地导引”的人一样-黑街兄弟会里有不少这样的小伙子或假小子,他们往往跟乞儿们和打手们都有着不错的合作,遇到合适的货色便果断下手,而那些客人们的最好下场是晕晕乎乎地被骗光了钱袋,再次一点是被偷了钱包,更惨一点就是在某个暗巷里被打劫,当然,最惨的下场……你们不会想知道的。 „Was careful, the boy,” a languid sound conveys side Taiersi: „Kang Masi person is close to you with no reason at all, has schemed inevitably, not for money for...... for...... for...... achoo!” “小心了,小子,”一把懒洋洋的声音在泰尔斯身旁传来:“康玛斯人无缘无故地接近你,必然有所图谋,不是为钱就为……为……为……阿嚏！” Under cape was saying to be saying, holds Taiersi mount, sneezed big, is rubbing the nose pitiful. 斗篷下的埃达说着说着,扶着泰尔斯的坐骑,打了一个大喷嚏,可怜兮兮地搓着鼻子。 „, Are you good?” Taiersi worried that asked: „From entry, you have gotten sick dispiritedly.” “埃达,你还好吗？”泰尔斯担忧地问:“从进入北地开始,你就一直病怏怏的。” „Not work takes the trouble! This temperature is anything!” The elf waves toward the left front 45 degrees ruthlessly, does not have scruples this movement the uncouthly place: „Back then, my shoulder shouldered the broadsword vertical Yokono vast mountain, the hand held head/number of people war grand feast got...... the achoo!” “不劳费心！这点温度算什么！”精灵向着左前方四十五度狠狠挥手,毫不顾忌这个动作的粗鲁之处:“想当年,我肩扛大刀纵横野茫山,手提人头大战盛宴领……阿嚏！” „Oh,” Taiersi sighs: „Tonight adds much bonfire to you.” “唉,”泰尔斯叹了一口气:“今晚还是给你加多一个篝火吧。” „This hid the woman under cape the beautiful appearance misunderstood certainly anything,” marquis Rice not care laughed: „Kang Masi alliance, although is well-known by the business, but we are not these are the present benefit, the generation of superficiality deliberately fawns on, what we emphasize is the long-term interests and mutually beneficial and win-win...... such business can do, does for a long time.” “这位把美貌掩藏在斗篷下的女士一定是误会了什么,”史莱斯侯爵毫不在意地哈哈一笑:“康玛斯联盟虽然以商贸闻名,但我们可不是那些为眼前利益,刻意逢迎的短视之辈,我们讲求的是长远利益与互利共赢……这样的生意才能做得下去,做得长久。” „Therefore, if there is scheme, I scheme certainly is your friendship, Your Highness Taiersi.” “因此,如果说有所图谋的话,那我图谋的一定是您的友谊,泰尔斯殿下。” Snort: „Kang Masi people is a swindler, no good thing- good class/flow city especially so.” 埃达哼了一声:“康玛斯人都是骗子,没一个好东西-善流城尤其如此。” Horses another side Rohlff finds the clue make awkwardly, immediately marquis Rice the smile did not speak. 马匹另一边的罗尔夫尴尬地摸摸头,马上的史莱斯侯爵则微笑不语。 „Said that perhaps was biased,” is pulling Taiersi mount reins stubbornly, to guard the mount to stick out suddenly( „, I put certainly on ‚the enemy of horses’ halo.”- The crazy talks of second prince) bosom inferior (Asia) shakes the head saying: „Some the inside the tower of also Kang Masi person end, although mostly is in Kang Masi alliance the generation of poor family background, but by having the ability and character, I thought that also has Exter's apprentices to be similar to us.” “这么说也许过于偏颇了,”死死牵着泰尔斯坐骑缰绳,以防坐骑暴起(“唉,我一定是被套上了‘马匹之敌’光环。”-第二王子的疯言疯语)的怀亚摇头道:“终结之塔里也有一些康玛斯人,虽然大多都是康玛斯联盟里贫寒出身之辈,但论起能力和性格,我觉得跟我们还有埃克斯特的学徒都差不多。” „Thank your speaking out from a sense of justice,” marquis Rice smiled saying: „Caso aide officer.” “感谢您的仗义执言,”史莱斯侯爵微笑道:“卡索侍从官阁下。” „That is because you did not have- achoo- sees in them the worst these fellows.” Sneezed, forks the waist to say uncomfortable: „Guarantee makes your impression profound.” “那是因为你还没-阿嚏-见到他们之中最恶劣的那些家伙。”埃达又打了一个喷嚏,不爽地叉着腰道:“保证让你印象深刻。” „Said, you had run into such Kang Masi person?.” Taiersi asked curiously. “这么说,你曾经遇到过这样的康玛斯人吗？埃达。”泰尔斯好奇地问。 „Yes,” bah said wickedly: „Bad swindler, the fellow of empty boasting! Slick generation, the disciple of being opportunistic...... achoo!” “是啊,”埃达恶狠狠地呸道:“恶劣的骗子,浮夸的家伙！巧言令色之辈,投机取巧之徒……阿嚏！” The elf blows the nasal mucus to cower. 精灵擤着鼻涕瑟缩起来。 Taiersi shrugs. 泰尔斯耸了耸肩。 It seems like had been deceived by Kang Masi person. 看来是被康玛斯人骗过。 Also deceives heavily. 还骗得不轻。 He looks at present this, good class/flow city from mainland, from being Kang Masi alliance Rice of hundred marquis adore/admire La. 他重新把目光投向眼前这位,来自大陆西边的善流城,从属于康玛斯联盟的史莱斯・百慕拉侯爵。 „I hear Kang Masi alliance am the state of merchant, the marquis,” Taiersi asked slowly: „Does not know whether is true?” “我听闻康玛斯联盟是商人的国度,侯爵阁下,”泰尔斯缓缓问道:“不知是否属实？” „Naturally...... many people understood that but I cannot say such described or describes completely wrongly,” heard the prince to ask, Rice seemed like comes the power to be the same suddenly, opened the mouth joyfully: „But all are the history make it so, my your highness, history.” “当然……许多人都是这么理解的,而我也不能说这样的形容或描述全然错误,”听到王子殿下开口询问,史莱斯像是突然来了动力一样,欣然开口:“但一切都是历史使然,我的殿下,历史。” „History? I hear,” Taiersi was also aroused the interest of research and exploration: „Is Kang Masi alliance, the country that the end the post-war how many city-states composed together? A country that does rely on the business to start?” “历史？我听闻,”泰尔斯也被激起了研究和探索的兴趣:“康玛斯联盟,是终结之战后几个城邦共同组成的国家？一个依赖着商业起步的国家？” „Therefore this did cast your tradition and foundation?” “所以这铸就了你们的传统和根基？” „Accurate, we do not calculate a country, at least is not a traditional country,” marquis Rice looks at Taiersi expression, said with a smile slowly: „Post-war of end, the western four cities of Western mainland formed an alliance, the mutual attention in the chaotic way of the world, strove self-preservation- included situated in Exter southwest and big wilderness northwest the good class/flow city, this was the origin of Kang Masi alliance.” “确切而言,我们不算一个国家,至少不是一个传统的国家,”史莱斯侯爵看着泰尔斯的表情,缓缓笑道:“终结之战后,西方大陆的西部四座城市结成联盟,在混乱的世道中守望相助,勉力自保-其中就包括位于埃克斯特西南和大荒漠西北的善流城,这就是康玛斯联盟的起源。” „We lack the resources and background, clamps in several big might, Kang Masi can only seek the survival in the form of business, supports our merchants to go out to fight with the free environment and relaxed tax policy, and acts to merchandise, the conveyancer of resources for the major might, struggles to ask to save as intermediate. From this perspective, we truly are the states of merchant.” “我们缺乏资源和底蕴,又夹在几大强权之间,康玛斯只能以商贸的形式寻求生存,用自由的环境与宽松的税收政策支持我们的商人出外打拼,并且为各大强权充当商货、资源的运输者,以中间人的身份挣扎求存。从这个角度而言,我们确实是商人的国度。” „But,” marquis Rice a thread of conversation revolution, „several cities, although is Kang Masi alliance, actually operates independently, respective governance. Besides «Alliance Public law», various cities have oneself laws law, own dominant family, own manners and customs, have certainly the characteristics respectively, for example this time I represent the good class/flow city in alliance, goes abroad on a diplomatic mission Exter. This, we do not seem like a country, but friendly society that looks like one group of merchants.” “但是,”史莱斯侯爵话锋一转,“几座城市虽然同属康玛斯联盟,却都独立运作,各自治理。除了《联盟公法》之外,各城市都有自己的法规律令,自己的统治家族,自己的风俗习惯,当然也各有特色,比如这次我就是代表联盟中的善流城,出使埃克斯特。于此而言,我们不像是一个国家,而更像一群商人的互助组织。” „But your named alliance, not?” Taiersi cannot bear the interest of being filled with, pursues asks: „Can have the appearance of alliance? For example highest authority that various cities comply with?” “但你们名为联盟,不是么？”泰尔斯忍不住满心的兴趣,追问道:“总该有个联盟的样子？比如一个各城市所遵从的最高权力？” „Naturally,” Rice smiles: „So-called Kang Masi highest union parliament, is responsible for mixing the resources in alliance, relations between coordinated city-states- at least so, many people also think that in name, but the reality always wants...... to be much stranger than strangely the imagination.” “当然,”史莱斯嘿嘿一笑:“所谓的康玛斯最高联合议会,负责调配联盟内的资源,协调城邦间的关系-至少名义上如此,许多人们也是这么以为的,可现实总是比想象要离奇……离奇得多。” Rice self-ridiculed that also shakes the head to laugh. 史莱斯自嘲也似地摇头嗤笑。 „But I hear as before, Kang Masi influence cannot be underestimated.” Taiersi is mobilizing knowledge reserve in brain- majority is Gilbert teaches his thing in just one month: „Kang Masi is rich and populous, but the productivity...... you are ‚west the purse of land’. Some people you with the stars and Exter put together, and west name 63.” “但我依旧听闻,康玛斯的势力不容小觑。”泰尔斯调动着脑里的知识储备-大部分是基尔伯特在短短一个月内教给他的东西:“康玛斯富庶而丰饶……你们是‘西陆的钱袋’。有人将你们与星辰和埃克斯特放在一起,并称西陆三强。” „Purse?” Rice smiles bitterly saying: „You really thought that is a good nickname?” “钱袋？”史莱斯苦笑道:“您真的觉得那是个好绰号吗？” Taiersi shrugs. 泰尔斯耸耸肩。 Good. 好吧。 This truly is not a good nickname, like never having the person will be called „fat sheep” for oneself, but happy. 这确实不是一个好绰号,就像从来没有人会为自己被叫“肥羊”而开心一样。 „Only is during these several hundred years between the swivel self-preservation in various countries, consumed our many energy.” “光是这几百年间在各国之间的转圜自保,就耗费了我们许多的精力。” „However influence that cannot be underestimated? Rather is the broad business route,” marquis Rice shakes the head: „Like me just said that keeps watch to help mutually today, the business of alliance got bigger and bigger, the route also more walked is farther.” “而不容小觑的势力？不如说是广阔的生意路线,”史莱斯侯爵摇摇头:“像我刚刚说的,守望互助到了今天,联盟的生意越做越大,路线也越走越远。” „Therefore four small cities turned into four city-states, the new city also gradually joins our alliance, by the present, Kang Masi alliance has the independent operation 16 commercial city-states, but our trade routes, then spreads the entire Western mainland.” “于是四座小城市变成了四个城邦,新的城市也逐渐加入我们的联盟,到现在,康玛斯联盟拥有独立运作的十六座商业城邦,而我们的贸易路线,则遍及整个西方大陆。” „Entire Western mainland? How to achieve?” Taiersi asked curiously: „Can explain for me specifically?” “整个西方大陆？怎么做到的？”泰尔斯好奇地问道:“能为我具体讲解一下么？” „Does not have the imagination is so exaggerating, these are the route of 16 city-state respective development.” Marquis Rice extracts a gentry stick from the saddle radiantly, draws lines in void: “没有想象那么夸张,这些都是十六座城邦各自开拓的路线。”史莱斯侯爵眉开眼笑地从马鞍上抽出一根绅士杖,在虚空中画出一道道线路: „North from Exter's Qi Yuancheng, the Verin lead(er), kisses the place south to the Alan Biya kingdom and dragon of thorn place secure Renzo duchy, the Dongda snow-capped mountain and free union, even the west rim of serious famine desert, this is the direct route of our land caravan- place that we can visit on the way on one of the Jhansi side mainland less than half, even near left half of entire mainland in touching range.” “北起埃克斯特的祈远城、威兰领,南至荆棘地的艾伦比亚王国和龙吻地的安伦佐公国,东达白山和自由同盟,甚至大荒漠的西缘,这是我们陆上商队的直接路线-途中我们可以造访的地方就占西方大陆的一小半,甚至整个大陆的左半边都在触及范围之内。” The marquis continues the delighted said/tunnel: 侯爵继续眉飞色舞地道: „However we by the western harbor of being near devil sea, extend the business of Kang Masi alliance: The west side has the devil three islands, Alan Biya kingdom and Talenti altogether governs such West coast various countries ; But south, after passing through the desperate sea arrives at the corridor sea, there is the Norton duchy and secure Renzo duchy, the corridor islands and Seurat duchy such south coast various countries ;” “而我们靠临魔鬼海的西部港口,则把康玛斯联盟的生意延伸得更远:西边有魔鬼三岛,艾伦比亚王国、塔伦迪共治地这样的西海岸诸国;而南部,在穿越绝望海到达长廊海后,有诺顿公国、安伦佐公国、长廊群岛、瑟拉公国这样的南海岸诸国;” „If there is a trade ambition of fleet to be not limited to this, they continue to east, drives out of the corridor sea, crosses confuses the sea and fog sea, goes straight to one of the stars kingdom 13 prominent families, cultivates Carder family to govern to hang in the southwest overseas this solitary one, rich and populous often azure island, and even east-bound, rolls by the West Sea merman to establish the crystal town where the immortals dwell on crystal blue island, following the sea trade route in stars kingdom, arrives at the sea of even East mainland end- this, near the right half of mainland also all completely integrates in the trade route of alliance.” “若有船队的贸易野心不止于此,他们就继续向东,驶出长廊海,越过迷海与雾海,直抵星辰王国十三望族之一,修卡德尔家族治下孤悬于西南海外,富庶的常青岛,乃至一路东进,驶过西海鲛人建立在晶碧岛上的晶碧城,顺着星辰王国的海贸路线,到达终结之海甚至东方大陆-这样,大陆的右半边也皆尽纳入联盟的贸易路线里。” „Sounds very extraordinary,” Taiersi frowns, sincere say/way: „Your influences spread the mainland...... to say not excessive.” “听起来很了不起,”泰尔斯皱起眉头,正色道:“你们的势力遍及大陆……这么说一点也不过分。” „Just the opposite,” marquis Rice shakes the head saying: „Kang Masi alliance, only then from being the city garrison teams of major city-states, without the military force of unification union, launching the war is certainly is not more possible- is only unites wrangling in parliament to continue for three years.” “恰恰相反,”史莱斯侯爵摇头道:“康玛斯联盟只有从属于各大城邦的城防队,没有统一联合的军力,发动战争更是绝无可能-光是联合议会里的扯皮就能持续三年。” „Because leans on the business survival, even if we as the aristocrats, must go out the development, contact trade- my 13 years old go to Alan Biya kingdom with the father for the first time, our family's caravans were detained there.” “由于倚靠商贸生存,我们哪怕身为贵族,也必须出外开拓,往来贸易-我十三岁就随着父亲第一次前往艾伦比亚王国,我们家族的商队在那里遭到了扣押。” Mount side Rohlff walks in the snowy area, pinches the fist slightly. 坐骑侧面的罗尔夫行走在雪地里,微微捏拳。 „Therefore you can understand, regarding the stars prince sets up me again from the heart happily, this means that west stars such land great nation is stable,” marquis shakes the head: „......, even if chooses the king system to become convention Exter, once...... for example illuminates city's Fetter family the royal power change to a new Grand Duke family from dragon Xiao city's Walton families to Feng, or Au Loek who gets to Verin cultivates the family, is a big shake, our established trade routes and long-term commercial treaties must act according to the different family's dominant orders and customs, considers even overthrows overall, not to mention stars such tradition, but the regulation numerous countries, the bright star ruled the glorious hereditary royal family like this.” “所以您能理解了吧,对于星辰王子的重立我是发自内心地开心,这意味着星辰这样一个西陆大国稳定无虞,”侯爵摇摇头:“……哪怕是选王制度已成为惯例的埃克斯特,一旦王权轮替到一个新的大公家族……比如从龙霄城的沃尔顿家族到烽照城的佩菲特家族,或者到威兰领的奥勒修家族,都是一次不小的震荡,我们既定的贸易路线和长期商约都要根据不同家族的统治秩序与习惯,重新考量甚至全盘推倒,就更别提星辰这样传统而规条重重的国家,璨星这样统治悠久的世袭王室了。” „Therefore, like this, our business receives the situation across various countries often changing frequently painstakingly,” Rice deeply sighs: „A where aristocrat if there is also to cross is more laborious than the civilians, remembers that casts a Kang Masi ticket.” “所以,就像这样,我们的生意经常受各国各地不时变动的局势所苦,”史莱斯深深叹了一口气:“如果有哪里的贵族过得比平民还辛苦,记得投康玛斯一票。” „Snort, gets what one deserves,” cold snort/hum: „To make money, is comfortable, where has that good matter.” “哼,活该,”埃达冷哼一声:“想赚钱,又想舒服,哪里有那么好的事情。” „You said that really and even principle famous saying, Madame,” marquis Rice is sighing, returns to the saddle the gentry stick stopper: „Therefore you looked, is 38-year-old I also to go out to fight.” “您所说真乃至理名言,女士,”史莱斯侯爵叹息着,把绅士杖塞回马鞍:“所以您看,38岁的我还必须出外打拼。” „Therefore you look for me are also the inherent connotation,” Taiersi hollow laugh: „To develop the future stars commercial personal connection?” “所以您来找我也是应有之义,”泰尔斯干笑一声:“算是为了开拓未来的星辰商业人脉么？” „For the friendship,” Rice blinks interesting: „Naturally, you, if has any- I meant that any- the demand beyond your kingdom range, please must let know below.” “是为了友谊,”史莱斯有趣地眨眨眼:“当然,您若有任何-我是说任何-在您的王国范围以外的需求,请务必让在下知道。” Marquis Rice laughs: „As the marquis in small city, my no other manager, only the personal connections and methods of various countries have.” 史莱斯侯爵哈哈一笑:“身为小小一城的侯爵,我别无所长,唯各国的人脉和门路还是有一些的。” „Wait, Marquis?” Taiersi frowns: „Gongbo child male merit......, but I do not seem to hear, in does the world have a marquis such title?” “等等,侯爵？”泰尔斯皱起眉头:“公伯子男勋……但我似乎未曾听闻,世上还有侯爵这么一个爵位？” Hears here, Rice looks to Taiersi, the vision is helpless. 听到这里,史莱斯看向泰尔斯,目光无奈。
