The ideal is always very plentiful, reality always very bone feeling. 理想总是很丰满,现实总是很骨感。 The Jones life, as if struggles between the ideal and reality repeatedly, struggles repeatedly. 琼斯的人生,似乎就是在理想与现实之间反复挣扎,反反复复地挣扎。 After is deeply grieved, Jones tidies up the mood eventually, sits the negotiations with the dwarf. After all, debt, must. But he does not have money Huan a group of dwarves. 在一阵悲痛欲绝之后,琼斯终究还是重新收拾心情,和矮人坐下来谈判。毕竟,债,还是要还的。而他已经没钱换一批矮人了。 I think that I give you such good treatment, you will be grateful. Finally do you actually threaten me in turn?” “我以为我给你们这么好的待遇,你们会感恩戴德。结果你们却反过来威胁我?” Why do we want to be grateful? What do you to the relations between slave and slave-owner have to misunderstand?” “我们为什么要感恩戴德?你是不是对奴隶跟奴隶主之间的关系有什么误解?” But, if you were bought by other slave-owners, will have such good opportunity? Only then I! Only then I will give you such good commitment! You should treasure me!” “可是,可是如果你们被其他奴隶主买走的话,会有这么好的机会吗?只有我!只有我才会给你们这么好的承诺!你们应该珍惜我!” How to treasure? Works hard to make you rich? The slave-owner like you are not many, I dare to vouch, if you had money, you also like other slave-owners. We should treasure the slave-owner who your such poverty is disappointed, making you impoverished?” “怎么珍惜?努力工作让你变得富有?像你这样的奴隶主不多了,我敢打包票,万一你有钱了,你也会像其他奴隶主一样。我们应该珍惜你这样贫困潦倒的奴隶主,让你一直贫困下去?” Saying, the cask could not bear smile. The dwarves in other basket were infected probably were the same, one smiled, finally evolved yacketing. 说着,酒桶忍不住笑了出来。其他笼子里的矮人就好像被传染了一样,一下都笑了,最终演变成了哄堂大笑。 However, these words make Jones have nothing to say in reply. He can only stare the circle the eye, grips the fist air/Qi trembles. If can supervise work to solve with the blood group directly, Jones also talked here to them! 然而,这句话让琼斯无言以对。他只能瞪圆了眼睛,攥着拳头气得瑟瑟发抖。要是能直接用血族监工解决,琼斯还在这里跟他们谈个屁呀! Fished out a tobacco pipe from own belt-bag, the cask silently place the smoke, deeply attracted one, put out mouth fog. A face is looking at Jones satisfied. 从自己的腰包里摸出了个烟斗,酒桶默默地点起了烟,深深吸了一口,吐出了一嘴云雾。一脸惬意地瞧着琼斯 That expression, without the basket, probably everyone will think that Jones is a slave. 那表情,如果没了笼子,大概所有人都会觉得琼斯才是奴隶吧。 Jones a little dispirited: „Does your slave, have the smoke unexpectedly? The slaves are not do not permit the private property?” 琼斯都有点颓丧了:“你一个奴隶,居然有烟?奴隶不是不允许有私人财产的吗?” Does not have the smoke, I have the liquor. Do you want to drink one?” The cask fished out a wine pot to fill one toward the mouth fiercely, then wiped the mouth, hit the liquor belch. “不只有烟,我还有酒。你要不要喝一口?”酒桶又摸出了个酒壶往嘴里猛灌了一口,然后抹了把嘴,打了个酒嗝。 Jones was startled. 琼斯都惊了。 Is away from the railing, the cask looks at Jones to say unemotionally: „A slave minute/share of many type, the physical strength slave is best to control. Also most does not have claim of right anything. Sorry, I am not. Before each slave-owner to let me worked well, will provide the smoke and liquor to me. You later also this.” 隔着围栏,酒桶面无表情地瞧着琼斯说道:“奴隶分很多种,体力奴隶是最好控制的。也是最没权利要求什么的。但很抱歉,我并不是。之前每一个奴隶主为了让我好好干活,都会给我提供烟和酒。你以后也得这样。” But you sold out, not? Perhaps because you request is too many, will be resold repeatedly.” “可你还是被卖掉了,不是吗?也许正是因为你要求太多,才会被反复转卖。” No, selling out me is because he went bankrupt.” “不,卖掉我是因为他破产了。” Bankruptcy?” “破产了?” Yes, he went bankrupt.” “是的,他破产了。” Three did go bankrupt?” “三个都破产了?” Yes, three went bankrupt. This cannot blame me. I can explore the mineral lode, but I am impossible the mineral lode that changes one not to have. Naturally, I was also weary am sold. Therefore, perhaps we can chat well. Discussed well, I can enjoy old age in peace your here.” “是的,三个都破产了。这不能怪我。我能勘探矿脉,但我不可能变出一条本不存在的矿脉。当然,我也厌倦了被人卖来卖去了。所以,也许我们可以好好谈谈。谈得好了,我可以在你这里安享晚年。” This is a god of plague, the gods of plague of value 8000 gold coins. Regarding this point, Jones has believed firmly. However, he does not have the extra money to buy one again. Therefore, he can only brace oneself to ask: How to discuss?” 这是个瘟神,价值八千金币的瘟神。对于这一点,琼斯已经确信了。然而,他没有多余的钱再重新买一个。所以,他只能硬着头皮问道:“怎么谈?” Coughed two, the cask mumbled replies: You have two choices. First, treats us like other slave-owners, brushes us with the whip, making us try hard to work. But I promised you, you will certainly go bankrupt. I have the innumerable means to make the mineral lode have problems, but you do not even know that is I does.” 干咳了两声,酒桶哼哼唧唧地答道:“你有两个选择。一,像其他奴隶主一样对待我们,用鞭子抽打我们,让我们努力干活。但我向你保证,你一定会破产。我有无数的办法让矿脉出问题,而你甚至不知道是我干的。” If you dare I to kill you like this!” Jones said without hesitation. “如果你敢这样我杀了你!”琼斯不暇思索地说道。 Hope happened truly, you give up.” The cask shrugged, a face indifferent appearance: Don't forget, my value 8000 gold coins. Between having one breaths and 8000 gold coins, what will you choose? Hitting me is not good, the slave will have the wound to depreciate. I hope that you understand this truth.” “希望真正发生的时候,你舍得吧。”酒桶摊了摊手,一脸无所谓的样子:“别忘了,我值八千金币。在出一口气和八千金币之间,你会选择什么呢?打我也不行,奴隶有伤会贬值。我希望你懂这个道理。” Jones was mad trembles. This is the threat, naked threat! 琼斯都气得瑟瑟发抖了。这是威胁,赤裸裸的威胁! Sipped a liquor, the cask then said: You will go bankrupt, but we will only be sold in the next slave-owner hand, continue cross is not being happy, but at least peaceful life. Naturally, the condition that in view of the fact that you just opened is good, we also possibly make you maintain the poverty, but not As for......” 抿了口酒,酒桶接着说道:“你会破产,而我们只会被卖到下一个奴隶主手里,继续过着并不愉快,但起码安稳的日子。当然,鉴于你刚刚开出来的条件还不错,我们也可能只是让你一直维持贫困,而不至于……” Stops!” Jones said straightforwardly: Ok, first chose me to understand. What is the second choice?” “停!”琼斯直截了当地说道:“行了,第一个选择我已经懂了。第二个选择是什么?” Intelligent! Since you do not want the first choice, we chatted the second choice.” The cask said grinningly: „The second choice is you contracts the mineral lode to me.” “聪明!既然你不想要第一个选择,那我们就来谈谈第二个选择。”酒桶笑嘻嘻地说道:“第二个选择就是你把矿脉承包给我。” Contract?” Jones gawked. “承包?”琼斯愣了一下。 Yes, contract.” The cask pinches the large finger saying: Allows us to buy freedom for oneself. Yes, buys freedom, regains the status of freeman. I can bring the good profit to you, but I will definitely also leave behind the good profit to myself. Otherwise, how do we buy freedom to ourselves? Right? If we may buy freedom for ourselves, does not need to take risk to escape, right? This is one good way that your my benefit unifies.” “是的,承包。”酒桶掐着肥大的手指说道:“允许我们为自己赎身。是的,赎身,重新获得自由民的身份。我可以给你带来不错的利润,但我肯定也会给自己留下不错的利润。否则的话,我们怎么给自己赎身呢?对吧?如果我们有可能替自己赎身的话,也就没必要冒险逃跑了,对吧?这是一个将你我的利益统一起来的好办法。” How many profits can you bring to me?” A doubt of Jones face. “你能给我带来多少利润?”琼斯一脸的狐疑。 This did not say.” The cask shrugged saying: I must explore to tell you. Those who hear your here is the gold ore is right? I can guarantee that gives you is not lower than 20,000 gold coins profits every year. This is a good return. If the exploration result is below this digit finally, I will tell you directly. After all I also want the profit, not?” “这个不好说。”酒桶摊了摊手说道:“我得勘探完才能告诉你。听说你这里的是金矿对吧?我可以保证给你每年不低于两万金币的利润。这已经是个不错的回报率了。如果最终勘探结果低于这个数字,我会直接告诉你。毕竟我也想要利润,不是吗?” In other words I do not even know that actually my gold ore does gain how many?” “也就是说我甚至不知道我的金矿究竟盈利多少咯?” No, you know. We are only responsible for mining. The ore that digs sells out by you. However the price of sell must your I consult, if you cannot give one to let my satisfactory price, I can provide better purchase business.” “不,你会知道。我们只负责挖矿。挖出来的矿石由你卖掉。但是出售的价格必须你我协商,如果你给不出一个让我满意的价格,我可以提供更好的收购商。” Jones was a little blurry: Purchase business? Why I must purchase business, do I also want to discuss the price with them? Did I take the gold to cast the gold coin directly not on the line?” 琼斯都有点迷糊了:“收购商?我为什么要收购商,我还要跟他们谈价格?我直接拿着金子铸金币不就行了吗?” This time was one's turn the cask to be shocked, he had doubts looks at Jones. 这次轮到酒桶愣住了,他疑惑地看着琼斯 Before Jones pulled out, gold/metal lump that digs. 琼斯掏出了之前挖到的金疙瘩。 All of a sudden, the dwarves laughed, smiling the Jones face was red. 一下子,矮人们都哄笑了起来,笑得琼斯脸都红了。 The cask put out a hand to receive the gold/metal lump from Jones, deeply inspires, said: This named native gold, appears in the gold ore generally. But if you are counted on that this type of thing makes money, you can announce the bankruptcy now. Native gold in a gold ore is few. At least your here not possible many.” 酒桶伸手从琼斯手里接过了金疙瘩,深深吸了口气,说道:“这个叫自然金,一般出现在金矿。但如果你是指望这种东西赚钱的话,你现在就可以宣布破产了。一条金矿里的自然金是很少的。至少你这里的这条不可能多。” Why my not possible many?” “为什么我这里的这条就不可能多?” Because of terrain, in brief not possible many. Mines the gold ore, either sells the gold/metal ore, either oneself refine. However, if you buy money that the blood group supervises work if no, then we can only sell the gold/metal ore. To be honest, I start to be worried now, what to do if your here doesn't have the gold ore?” “因为地形,总之不可能多。开采金矿,要么卖金矿石,要么自己提炼。不过,如果你连买血族监工的钱都没有的话,那么我们就只能卖金矿石了。说实话,我现在都开始担心了,万一你这里没有金矿怎么办?” Good, something really professionals understand. The Jones intelligence quotient was pressed once again on the ground rubs. The laughter of dwarves one was bigger, drenched the foot Jones like basin cold water from the beginning. 好吧,有些事情果然只有专业人士懂。琼斯的智商又一次被按在地上摩擦。矮人们的笑声一下更大了,如同一盆冷水把琼斯从头淋到了脚。 Some little time, calms down Jones only to brace oneself to ask: Gold/Metal ore by me sells right?” 好一会,冷静下来的琼斯只能硬着头皮问道:“金矿石由我出售对吧?” The cask is smoking, speaks thoughtlessly to reply: Yes, if you can find the good purchase business.” 酒桶抽着烟,随口答道:“是的,如果你能找到不错的收购商的话。” „Do we divide? 20,000 gold coins turn over to me, other turns over to you?” “那我们怎么分?两万金币归我,其他的都归你?” No, this will have the issue. We adopt the sharecropping. Deducts all expenses, in view of the fact that the gold ore is your, we now also your slave, therefore you divide 70%, I divide 30%. After mining first batch of ores, you must return the status of my freeman, I countersign a loan agreement of 8000 gold coin. Can pay your interest. Does that to avoid you takes advantage of loopholes. After all, the slave does not allow to have the private property. I feared that you are not divided to me when the time comes with this excuse.” “不,这样会有问题。我们采取分成制。扣除所有花销,鉴于金矿是你的,我们现在也还是你的奴隶,所以你分70%,我分30%。在开采出第一批矿石之后,你必须还我自由民的身份,我会签一份八千金币的借款协议。可以付你利息。这么做是为了避免你钻空子。毕竟,奴隶是不允许拥有私人财产的。我怕你到时候以此为借口不给我分成。” „Very fair.” “很公平。” „, Finalized.” “那么,成交。” Deal.” “成交。” both sides are away from the cage to shake hand, all around dwarf is applauding cheerfully. 双方隔着牢笼握了手,四周的矮人都欢快地鼓起了掌。 Although the accident/surprise, the situation is unceasingly bad, but in any event, at least reached an acceptable agreement. Jones can also the money on utilization revolve temporarily, does not need to lend money additionally again. Additional investment, this was the matter that Jones most is afraid at present. 虽然意外不断,情况糟糕,但无论如何,至少是达成了一份可接受的协议了。琼斯暂时还能运用手上的钱运转下去,不需要额外再借钱。追加投资,这是琼斯目前最害怕的事了。 Twenty dwarf women who when the tall blood group sends second batch of that : 1 matching, as well as remaining one pile of urgently needing mining instruments time, he discovered with amazement the previous group of sending dwarves have wandered about aimlessly everywhere. 当高个子血族送来第二批那一比一搭配的二十几个矮人妇女,以及剩下的一堆急用的采矿器械的时候,他惊讶地发现前一批送来的矮人已经到处乱走了。 Yes, wanders about aimlessly everywhere, completely unserviced appearance. The previous batch of sending basket pile in the one side, empty. 是的,到处乱走,完全无人看管的样子。前一批送来的笼子堆在一旁,空荡荡的。 Part of dwarves of start the logging collection lumber, another part of dwarves start to hunt, light a fire to prepare food, the remaining parts have been doing the preparatory work of exploration. Everyone is bustling about respectively. Is standing on remaining Dora and Jones idly. 一部分的矮人开始伐木收集木材,另一部分的矮人开始狩猎,生火做饭,剩下的一部分则已经在做勘探的准备工作了。每一个人都各自忙碌着。就剩下朵拉琼斯无所事事地站着。 Oh, the little young master, your here slave does not need to safeguard?” The tall blood group gave Jones the second list halfly believing and half doubting. “天哪,小少爷,您这里的奴隶都不需要看管的吗?”高个子血族将信将疑地将第二份清单递给了琼斯 Yes.” Jones receives unemotionally, starts to take inventory carefully. “是的。”琼斯面无表情地接了过来,开始细细地清点。 You did not fear that they did run?” “你就不怕他们跑了吗?” They will not run, I have used the charisma to surrender them.” “他们不会跑的,我已经用人格魅力降服了他们。” Personal charm?” The tall blood group was startled, opened the eye to look at Jones inconceivable: Really cannot think, you seem like are so young, actually already method so. Is the magic? Mental manipulation magic?” “人格魅力?”高个子血族都惊了,睁大了眼睛不可思议地看着琼斯:“真想不到,你看上去还这么小,却已经手段如此了得了。是魔法吗?精神控制魔法?” Yes.” Jones signed the list to hand over silently, as before was unemotional. “是的。”琼斯默默地签好了清单递了回去,依旧是面无表情。 This reply, brought in the exclamation of all around blood groups immediately. After all, the energetic magic, is in the middle of all magics is most complex, abstrusest one, the top blood group may thoroughly understand. 这一回答,当即引来了四周血族们的一阵惊叹。毕竟,精神魔法,是所有魔法当中最复杂,最深奥的一种,只有顶级的血族才有可能通晓。 Naturally, regarding their exclamation, the Jones innermost feelings is calm. After all he just lost the gold ore 30% profits. 当然,对于他们的惊叹,琼斯的内心是波澜不惊的。毕竟他刚刚才失去了金矿百分之三十的利润。 The delivering goods blood groups walked finally, all finally became systematic. Each dwarf was full of the working zeal. After all, regarding a slave, what but also there is compared with regain the freedom to be able hopefully encouraging? 送货的血族们终于走了,一切总算变得井然有序了。每一个矮人都充满了干劲。毕竟,对于一个奴隶来说,还有什么比有希望恢复自由更能鼓舞人心的呢? The wind is blowing gently, the branch of trees drags in the wind. 风轻轻地吹着,树木的枝桠在风中摇曳。 Un, stepped into the castle until a dwarf. 嗯,直到其中一个矮人踏入了城堡。 „! What is this? Hydra!” “哇!这是什么?一头九头蛇!” Oh! In the castle has Hydra.” “天哪!城堡里有一头九头蛇。” Help! In the castle has Hydra!” “救命呀!城堡里有九头蛇!” A a group of dwarf wells up to Jones in front, is saying out of breath. 一大群的矮人呼啦啦地涌到琼斯面前,上气不接下气地说着。 „, Hydra? I know.” Jones replied calm freely. “哦,九头蛇?我知道。”琼斯淡定自若地答道。 Is Hydra that you raise?” “是你养的九头蛇?” Is difficult I who am inadequate am it raise?” “难不成是它养的我?” The dwarves were shocked. 矮人们都惊呆了。 , Jones had seen from afar Hydra poked head from the window. Helpless, Jones can only walk. 远远地,琼斯已经看到九头蛇从窗户探出头来了。无奈,琼斯只能走了过去。 Madame, they are my subordinate, hopes that do not eat them. I promised you, I pledged your will achieve as before.” “女士,他们是我的手下,希望您不要吃了他们。我向您保证,我承诺您的依旧会做到。” I do not like eating the dwarf, the dwarf press the tooth. However you best make them do not quarrel I to sleep, otherwise I have not possibly selected food.” “我不喜欢吃矮人,矮人硌牙。不过你最好让他们不要吵着我睡觉,否则我可能就没那么挑食了。” Good, such as you hope, Madame.” “好的,如您所愿,女士。” Thereupon, the castle surrounding 300 meters scopes were listed as the forbidden area, anybody can not approach. The dwarves started themselves to construct the house honestly, had no dwarf to shout again said that must live in the castle. 于是乎,城堡周围三百米的范围被列为了禁区,任何人不得靠近。矮人们老实地开始自己建房子了,再也没有任何一个矮人喊着说要住到城堡里去。 After all, then big Hydra lives in the castle, cannot live in the castle the best reason. Slept to hit to shout possibly cannot see the next day Sun. Except for Jones. 毕竟,那么大一头九头蛇住在城堡里,就是不能住到城堡里最好的理由了。睡觉打个呼可能就见不到第二天的太阳了。除了琼斯 Jones insisted that the castle is his, as the owner in castle, he must live in the castle. 琼斯坚称城堡是他的,身为城堡的主人,他必须住到城堡里。 In any event, in any case such. After small interlude, all restored in good order. The dwarves as if the attitude to Jones changed, at least like almost does not disregard Jones from the beginning. 无论如何,反正就这么样了。小小的插曲之后,一切又是恢复了井然有序。矮人们似乎对琼斯的态度有所改变了,至少不像一开始那样几乎无视琼斯 Who can think? Unexpectedly is Hydra helps Jones save face. No matter Hydra is raising the blood group or the blood group are raising Hydra, is not in any case affable. 谁能想到呢?居然是九头蛇琼斯挽回了面子。不管是九头蛇养着的血族还是血族养着的九头蛇,反正都不是好惹的。 Next day, the airship arrives, the zombie delivered as promised. The dwarves start the heavy labor, needs the mental ability only to need the physical strength does not assign to the zombie exactly completely. Battalion's construction obtained the acceleration, everyone is bustling about. 第二天,飞艇抵达,僵尸如约送到了。矮人们开始将重活,不需要脑力只需要体力的活全部分配给僵尸。营地的建设得到了加速,每一个人都忙碌着。 At the beginning Jones will also run back the home to have food, after all has not been willing to pay to deliver money that to money disbursement extremely sensitive him the fresh blood came from Schilde. Afterward, he ate in the camp simply. After all in the camp is only no one blood, other animal blood, are very complete. Has drunk pig blood Jones to put on airs for two days, obeyed. Besides must go home to sleep every day. 刚开始的时候琼斯还会跑回家去吃“饭”,毕竟已经对金钱支出极为敏感的他不愿意付出让人从希尔德送新鲜血液过来的钱。后来,他干脆就在营地里吃了。毕竟营地里只是没有人血而已,其他各种动物血,还是挺齐全的。早就喝惯了猪血的琼斯装模作样两天,也就就范了。除了每天还要回家睡觉之外。 I do not want to make the family member know that I lent money to buy a castle, does not want to make them know that I am opening up a mine.” “我不想让家里人知道我借钱买了一座城堡,也不想让他们知道我在开矿。” Why?” “为什么?” Father is good, if mother knew, certainly will be worried about a big pile blindly. Talks incessantly, was tired. Therefore, we pretended to go out every day participate in various activities to be good. They will also go out in any case every day participate in various activities.” “父亲还好,如果母亲知道了,一定会瞎担心一大堆的。唠唠叨叨地,烦死了。所以,我们假装每天出门参加各种活动就好了。反正他们每天也都会出门参加各种活动。” „......” “哦……” Wait, won't you have told my mother?” The Jones doubt looked toward Dora. “等等,你不会是已经告诉我母亲了吧?”琼斯狐疑地朝着朵拉望了过去。 Dora has a scare, said hastily: No! No! Dora was too busy for these days, had not said with enough time.” 朵拉吓了一跳,连忙说道:“不!没有!朵拉这几天太忙了,还没来得及说。” Jones looks at Dora unemotionally, helpless sighed. 琼斯面无表情地看着朵拉,无奈叹了口气。 In any event, the dwarves also calculate to do one's best, all looked got up the right track finally. Cannot reject the fraternity invitation of Adair besides Jones. 无论如何,矮人们还算尽心尽力,一切看上去总算上了正轨。除了琼斯再也不能拒绝亚岱尔的兄弟会邀请之外。 So, in the roughness, Jones finished the silver moon first year, welcomed the silver moon 2 years. 如此,就在坎坎坷坷中,琼斯结束了银月元年,迎来了银月二年。 First decides a small target, for example 1 second remembers: 先定个小目标,比如一秒记住:
