Opens the door store that does business less than half, on avenue chaotic, no one cleans. Entire Lion Capital seemingly declines unable to withstand. 原本热闹的街道已经变得萧条无比,零零散散的只剩下为数不多的行人。开门做生意的商铺不到半数,大街上乱糟糟的,也没人打扫。整个狮王都看上去破落不堪。 The situation in lion palace must be worse, can in confusion describe with one piece simply. 狮王宫里的情况就要更糟糕了,简直可以用一片狼藉来形容。 Almost all valuable things had moved out. The ground does not have the rug, on the corridor wall did not have in the past these great pictures, in some rooms the furniture did not even have. In the private library of king the bookshelf moved out, the book stayed behind actually, loses everywhere. 几乎所有值钱的东西都已经被搬走。地上没有地毯,走廊的墙壁上没有往昔的那些名画,有些房间里甚至连家具都没有。国王的私人图书馆里书架被搬走,书倒是留下了,丢得满地。 Before, in lion palace most things were the candlestick, everywhere was the candlesticks. Entered the night, selects completely the candle, can illuminate well-illuminated lion palace. Now...... 在之前,狮王宫里最多的东西莫过于烛台了,到处都是烛台。入了夜,把蜡烛全部点起来,能把狮王宫照得通明。现在…… The illumination in lion palace depends on the oil lamp, moreover is everyone assigns an oil lamp, where arrives mentions. In fact now the servant in entire lion palace remaining are not many, only has 50 people. 狮王宫里的照明就靠油灯,而且是每人分配一盏的油灯,走到哪提到哪。事实上现在整个狮王宫里的仆人也已经剩下不多了,只有五十个人。 The crack outer wall no one patches, the plant in garden no one prunes, even the window station manager of king the weed no one managed. Smashed front door during the beforehand turbulence, two shutters are still putting on side, because had grown the mushroom moistly, repair actually also never. 龟裂的外墙没人修补,庭院里的植物没人修剪,甚至国王的窗台长了杂草都没人管。在之前的动荡中被砸烂的大门,两块门板还在旁边放着呢,因为潮湿已经长出了蘑菇,修理却还遥遥无期。 A fallen leaf falls on the corridor, will make some dust people not to sweep clear until its thorough rotten. 一片落叶掉在走廊上,直到它彻底腐烂化做尘土都不会有人清扫。 This time lion palace, feels probably abandoned haunted house. Because is too big, seems gloomy. Even because the place is too big, some places were admitted to the wanderer also no one to know, no one managed. 此时的狮王宫,给人的感觉就好像一座废弃的鬼屋似的。因为太大,显得阴森森的。甚至由于地方实在太大,有些地方都住进流浪汉了也没人知道,更没人管。 The main building palace, is in lion palace only several place that repairs and maintains nice point the slightly. Although seems like as before poor. 主楼殿堂,算是狮王宫里仅有的几个修整得稍微像样一点的地方了。虽然看上去依旧寒酸不已。 King.” In the palace, " Knight Becoming a useful adult Guide » author is smiling obsequiously, said to Benedict second respectfully: You felt, how can my writing?” “国王陛下。”殿堂里,《骑士成材指南》的作者谄笑着,恭敬地对班尼迪克二世说道:“您觉得,我的写得怎么样?” How to write?” Sits in the throne, a Benedict second face badly battered had not said patiently: How do I know your writing to how?” “写得怎么样?”坐在王位上,早已经焦头烂额的班尼迪克二世一脸不耐烦地说道:“我怎么知道你的写得怎么样?” „Haven't you looked?” The authors asked cautiously. “您没看吗?”作者小心翼翼地问。 „Can I look your?” Benedict second asked. “我非得看你的吗?”班尼迪克二世反问道。 But......

You told me to write anything directly.” “等等。”班尼迪克二世把他叫住了,随口说道:“我就实话实说了吧,我不想看。你直接告诉我都写了些什么吧。” Also...... The expression of author stiff, is smiling nod, said: Content roughly, is the paladin Gray deeds. Takes the paladin Gray deeds as the main line, then, I arranged lich him ingeniously.” “也……可以。”作者的表情僵了一下,微笑着点了点头,说道:“大体的内容,就是圣骑士格雷的事迹。以圣骑士格雷的事迹为主线,然后,我巧妙地把他安排成了一只巫妖。” lich?” 巫妖?” Yes, the lead is lich, paladin is lich, moreover writes flawlessly. Regardless of anybody looked, will think that intent has referred.” Saying, the author is looking at Benedict second hopefully. “是的,主角是一只巫妖,圣骑士是一只巫妖,而且写得天衣无缝。无论任何人看了,都会觉得意有所指。”说着,作者满怀期待地望着班尼迪克二世。 Benedict second smiled slowly: Sounding is very innovative, writes well.” 班尼迪克二世缓缓地笑了:“听上去还挺有创意的,写得不错。” Naturally, I am specialized.” “当然,我是专业的。” Ok, I knew.” Then, losing of Benedict second along with hand in hand to the author front floor on. “行了,我知道了。”说完,班尼迪克二世随手把手里的丢到作者前方的地板上。 The authors bowed to pick hastily, is smiling obsequiously asking: „The king you do satisfy this?” 作者连忙躬身捡了起来,然后谄笑着问道:“这么说,国王陛下您是满意这本咯?” Naturally.” Benedict second lets go saying: I welcome you to write any strange thing him, so long as were not personally on the line.” “当然。”班尼迪克二世摊手道:“我欢迎你们把他写成任何奇怪的东西,只要不是个人就行。” That......” author put out a hand to make money hand signal. “那……”作者伸手做了个“钱”的手势。 Money?” Benedict second gawked. “钱?”班尼迪克二世愣了一下。 Right.” The authors nod hastily: 100 gold coins.” “对。”作者连忙点了点头:“一百个金币。” „Do you give me?” “你给我呀?” No, naturally was you give me.

Quite a while, lets go saying: Excuse me, this matter I forgot, does not plan to record. Also, your writing must be very rotten.” 班尼迪克二世不说话了,只是静静地看着作者。半天,摊手道:“不好意思,这件事我忘了,也不打算记起来。还有,你的写得很烂。” The authors one was ignorant. 作者一下都懵了。 Has not waited for him to respond, Benedict second has called loudly: Comes the person, drives out to me this fellow!” 还没等他反应过来,班尼迪克二世已经高声喊道:“来人呀,把这个家伙给我赶出去!” Yes!” “是!” The lion palace only two guards appeared, one supported the author lifted outward. 狮王宫仅有的两个侍卫出现了,一下把作者架住了往外抬。 The pitiful author is still struggling, but also is shouting. 可怜的作者还在挣扎,还在呼喊。 Wait! Your majesty! You just said that can write!” “等等!陛下!您刚刚说写得好的!” „Have I said?” “我有说过吗?” You just said obviously!” “您刚刚明明说了!” „Did I take back the line?” “那我收回行了吧?” Your majesty! You cannot like this! Cannot like this!” “陛下!您不能这样!不能这样!” In an instant, the pitiful author had been lifted out of the door, falls ruthlessly on the ground. Also transmits Benedict second from afar the sound: Do not come back to be very polite the advance payment with you, again nonsense, gives me to spit 100 gold coins! Oneself look at the office!” 转眼之间,可怜的作者已经被抬到了门外,狠狠摔在地上。远远地还传来班尼迪克二世的声音:“不跟你把定金要回来已经很客气了,再胡说八道,就给我把一百个金币吐出来!自己看着办吧!” The authors one shut up do not dare to say again. 作者一下闭上嘴不敢再说了。 Patted dust, he left lion palace dingily. 拍了拍身上的尘土,他灰溜溜地离开了狮王宫 „Am I so unlucky? Met this damn paladin, rascal king. Then what to do?” “我怎么就那么倒霉呢?就遇上了这个该死的圣骑士,还有无赖国王。接下来怎么办?” The authors walk at a loss on the avenue, looks the draft on own hand, gets more mad. Flings layer on layer/heavily, flung opposite of the street the draft. 作者茫然地行走在大街上,看着自己手上的稿子,越想越气。重重地一甩,把稿子都甩到街对面去了。 Thinks, picks dingily. 想了想,又灰溜溜地去捡回来。 Perhaps has the fool to want, remaining, remaining, is not owing in any case.” “说不定有傻子要呢,留着,留着,反正不亏。” He feels sad, no use, pain, but also the belly is a little hungry. Therefore, he arrives at one seems like already very ruined, actually before is this street only business bakery . 他心酸,无助,痛苦,还有点肚子饿。于是,他走到一间看上去已经十分破败,却是这条街唯一营业的面包店前。 Gives me to come two stature bread.” “给我来两个条面包。” Good.” Strong, kept the sales clerk of full beard to help him use the grass rope to tie up two to be thicker than rapidly his arm, but also the long bread handed over: Two silver coins.” “好的。”膀大腰圆,留着大胡子的售货员迅速帮他用草绳绑好了两条比他胳膊还粗,还长的面包递了过来:“两个银币。” Wait.” Is taking out money package of authors to be shocked: What did you say? Do two bread take two silver coins?” “等等。”正在掏钱包的作者愣住了:“你说什么?两条面包要两个银币?” Naturally, anything rises in prices now.” The sales clerks raised the hand of bread to shrink. “当然,现在什么东西都涨价了。”售货员提着面包的手又缩了回去。 But I had bought with you last week, two bread want a silver coin.” “可是我上个星期才跟你买过,两条面包只要一个银币。” That was last week, now rises.” “那是上个星期了,现在又涨了。” You crack a joke?” “你开玩笑的吧?” You thought that I am crack a joke?” The sales clerks have started the solution string, prepared to put the bread. “你觉得我是开玩笑的吗?”售货员已经开始解绳子,准备把面包放回去了。 No!” Clenches teeth, the author has to say in a low voice: I take one.” “别!”咬了咬牙,作者只好低声说道:“我要一条。” Saying, puts on a silver coin the desktop. 说着,把一个银币放到桌面上。 The sales clerks continue the solution string, then a bread hands over: „A bread has not thrown in the string.” 售货员继续解绳子,然后把其中一条面包递过来:“一条面包可没有附赠绳子。” Helpless, the author has to receive the bread, the mouth is mumbling: It seems like then cannot have the breakfast. Blames that paladin, pays out money to the poor person? Hehe, everyone does not work finally, I who daily catch up with the manuscript instead became the poor person. My God, was too bad. This way first starves to death definitely is I.” 无奈,作者只好接过面包,嘴里嘟囔着:“看来接下来不能吃早餐了。都怪那个圣骑士,给穷人发钱?呵呵,结果大家都不干活了,天天赶稿的我反而成了穷人。我的天,实在太糟糕了。这样下去先饿死的肯定是我。” No, this is not the paladin mistake, this is the mistake of king.” The strong sales clerk investigates the correct path. “不,这不是圣骑士的错,这是国王的错。”膀大腰圆的售货员纠正道。 Why will you think so? These damn policies are the paladin formulations.” “为什么你会这么觉得呢?这些该死的政策都是圣骑士制定的。” Because the king carries out is not good to have problems. If paladin...... if paladin, our grain is tight, he can lead us to attack the neighboring country to snatch the grain, such price will not rise. But this useless king anything could not do.” “但是因为国王执行得不好才会出问题。如果是圣骑士的话……如果是圣骑士的话,我们粮食紧张,他就可以带着我们进攻邻国抢粮食,这样物价就不会上涨了。而这个没用的国王什么都做不了。” „Do you really think?” The authors have doubts to say. “你真的这么认为吗?”作者疑惑道。 Naturally.” The sales clerk uncle said righteously: My customer said. Now everyone starts to work, if not the king carries out disadvantageously, we do not need to continue to work.” “当然。”售货员大叔义正辞严地说道:“我的顾客都这么说。现在每个人又开始工作了,如果不是国王执行不利的话,我们根本不需要继续工作。” Therefore you supported paladin.” “所以你们又支持圣骑士了。” Yes.” “是的。” The grain has started scarcely, but has not been in the situation of famine. Naturally, depression everywhere, each life can feel clearly in Lion Capital people. 粮食已经开始紧缺了,但还没有到饥荒的地步。当然,满地的萧条,每个生活在狮王都的人都可以清晰地感觉到。 The authors held the only bread, the doubts were leaving the bakery. More wants more to feel the variable torque, more wants more to feel unable to convince. Therefore, he holds on an old man who side passed through to ask conveniently: You felt how paladin does come back?” 作者捧着自己唯一的面包,疑惑地离开了面包店。越想越觉得变扭,越想越觉得说不通。于是,他随手拉住了旁边走过的一个老头子问道:“你觉得,圣骑士回来怎么样?” paladin? Can paladin come back?” An old man delighted appearance. 圣骑士圣骑士要回来吗?”老头一副喜出望外的样子。 I chatted.” The authors loosen are holding old person's hand, got out of the way looking pensive. “我说笑的。”作者松开拽着老人的手,若有所思地走开了。 , He noticed from afar a large crowd gathers at the street opposite bookstore entrance, pushes one group. 远远地,他看到一大群人聚集在街对面的书店门口,挤成一团。 „Is this is doing?” The authors asked nearby young fellow. “这是在干嘛?”作者问旁边的小伙子。 Buys, today sells newly.” “买,今天新发售。” What new?” “什么新?” «paladin And His 72 Wife».” “《圣骑士和他的七十二个老婆》。” What?” The authors cannot believe oneself ear simply. “啥?”作者简直不敢相信自己的耳朵。 «paladin And His 72 Wife».” “《圣骑士和他的七十二个老婆》。” My God......” he determined finally oneself had not misunderstood, actually cannot believe as before. “我的天……”他终于确定自己没听错了,却依旧不敢相信。 Grain was scarce, do you have the mood?” “粮食都紧缺了,你们还有心情?” Grain rises in prices, has not risen in prices.” The young fellows let go to say. “粮食涨价,又没涨价。”小伙子摊手道。 Pushes to be sweating profusely , the author pushed with great difficulty finally in the bookstore, saw on the entire bookshelf full was: «paladin And His 72 Wife», «paladin Road of Doubting Promotion», «Rule World from, When paladin Start», «Various Day of I Am paladin», «paladin Rebirth Diary», «My brother Am paladin», «My father Am paladin», «My Grandmother Am paladin»...... 挤到满头大汗,好不容易地,作者终于挤到了书店里,看到了整个书架上满满的都是:《圣骑士和他的七十二个老婆》、《圣骑士的打怪升级之路》、《统治世界从当圣骑士开始》、《诸天之我是圣骑士》、《圣骑士重生日记》、《我哥是圣骑士》、《我爹是圣骑士》、《我姥姥是圣骑士》…… The corners of the mouth of author were twitching, he hastily a boss who caught the bookstore, asked: Boss! Do these sell well?” 作者的嘴角都在抽搐了,他连忙一把拽住了书店的老板,问道:“老板!这些都好卖吗?” Naturally, so long as now inscribes paladin sells. Do you take several?” “当然,现在只要写上‘圣骑士’的都好卖。你要几本?” I do not buy, I am write.” “我不买,我是写的。” „, Doesn't buy? That troubles you to roll out.” “哦,不买呀?那麻烦你滚出去。” Quick, the author was lifted to throw the front door by several people. 很快,作者被几个人抬着丢出了大门。 Struggles to crawl from the ground, patted ash, he looks dull the draft in own hand, turn head looked at a bustling sales scene, thought aloud: Perhaps...... I can change again the draft. Wrote a positive image paladin lich? The paladin prestige started to restore, my was paladin approves personally, definitely will have many people not to buy? At least compares these anything «My Grandmother Is paladin» strong. Perhaps can I also look for paladin to sign above? Un...... can only manage. The price continues to rise, if I do not promote one to be new immediately, will first starve to death. Manages!” 挣扎着从地上爬起来,拍了拍身上的灰,他呆呆地看着自己手里的稿子,又回头看了一眼热火朝天的销售场面,自言自语道:“或许……我可以再把稿子改回来。把圣骑士写成一只正面形象的巫妖圣骑士的声望又开始恢复了,我这本是圣骑士亲自认可的,肯定会有很多人买不是吗?至少比那些什么《我姥姥是圣骑士》强。或许我还可以找圣骑士在上面签个名?嗯……只能这么办了。物价继续这么涨,如果我不立即推出一本新,会先饿死的。就这么办!” First decides a small target, for example 1 second remembers: 先定个小目标,比如一秒记住:
