Daygreydawntime, Jonesput on the armor that the silver moonknightrolledto go out. Heprobablyis the blood group that onentirecontinentonlymovesduring the daytime.
天灰蒙蒙亮的时候,琼斯就穿着银月骑士团的铠甲出门了。他大概是整个大陆上唯一一个白天活动的血族吧。Yes, only. Alsotherefore, heperhapsisonentirecontinent the most diligentblood group.
是的,唯一一个。也因此,他也许是整个大陆上最勤奋的血族。WhatCatherinegiveshisspecially-madearmorto useis the craft of heaven, the hellactually can also make the samething, thisis not difficult. Evenblood group , can achieve, is onlyslightlyexpensive/noble. However, being able to achievewithis willingto put onistwo matters. Overwhelming majorityblood groupsare not willingto put ononeset of not comfortablearmortooneself, is not willingto put on the armorin broad daylight, is underSunto shakeeverywhere. Whattheyadvocatehas the gloomycoloraristocratspirit, rather than the silver moonknightrollssuchblood and ironknightspirit.凯瑟琳给他的特制铠甲用的是天堂的工艺,地狱其实也能做出同样的东西,这并不难。甚至血族自己,也能做得到,只是稍微贵一点而已。不过,做得到跟愿意穿是两码事。绝大部分的血族都不愿意给自己套上一套并不舒适的铠甲,更不愿意大白天的穿着铠甲,顶着太阳到处晃。他们崇尚的是带有阴暗色彩的贵族精神,而不是银月骑士团那样的铁血骑士精神。Jones that except thatwalksfrom the silver moonknightgroup.
除了一个从银月骑士团走出来的琼斯。Naturally, withhistogetherDora.
当然,还有跟他一起的朵拉。Arrived at the dwarfvillage, Jonescalledalldwarves, announced since hehas obtainedthisstretch of territory the firstgovernment orderin the true sense.
来到矮人村庄,琼斯召集了所有的矮人,宣布了他得到这片领地以来第一条真正意义上的政令。„Starting today, herenames asSerpent City, weuse the Hydraflag. ButI, will use the newfamily/homeemblem.”
“从今天开始,这里命名为巨蛇城,我们采用九头蛇旗帜。而我,也将使用新的家徽。”„Whycancall‚Serpent City’?”Has the dwarfto askpuzzled.
“为什么要叫‘巨蛇城’呢?”有矮人不解地问道。„ThisistothankMs.Hydratoourhelp.”Leans the face, Joneshas salutedtonearbyHydra: „Thankyou, Madame.”
“这是为了感谢九头蛇女士对我们的帮助。”侧过脸,琼斯向一旁的九头蛇行了个礼:“感谢您,女士。”Hydranods: „Greatsnakewill shelteryou, smallbat.”九头蛇点了点头:“巨蛇将庇护你,小蝙蝠。”Arrives in front of the cask, Jonesgives the cask a design.
来到酒桶面前,琼斯将一幅图案交给酒桶。At first sight, probably a flower, howeverunderexamining carefully, will actually discover that is actually Hydra, butninesnake headssurrounded the flowershape. Quiteinnovativedesign.
乍一看,像是一朵花,然而细看之下,却又会发现那其实是一头九头蛇,只不过九个蛇头环绕成了花的形状而已。相当有创意的图案。„Helpsmebuilda number ofbadges, to everyone. Iwill buy the material. Naturally, but must troubleyouto embroider the flag, weneedownflag.”
“帮我打造一批徽章,给每一个人。我会把材料买回来。当然,还要麻烦你们绣一下旗帜,我们需要属于自己的旗帜。”„Similarlyisthisdesign?” The caskasked.
“同样是这个图案吗?”酒桶问。„Yes, similarlyisthisdesign.”Returns to the high place, Jonesto announce: „Starting today, Serpent City, not onlymyterritory, isyourfamilies/home, weco-managementhere. Iannounced,in the Serpent Cityrange, will not enslave, everyone is a freeman. Afteris admitted tohere, nowalsolives the person in somecorneroncontinent, iftheyare willingto becomemypeople, Iwill also givethemto be free. Thisistothankyoutomyhelp, youare the Serpent Cityfounders. As forI, starting today, whosesonno longeram. I, JonesDracula, is the Serpent CityDraculafamily'sfirst ancestor. Iwill rulethisstretch of territorybymyself, whosegood fortune owing to the merits of ancestorsrather thanstandsunder.”
“是的,同样是这个图案。”回到高处,琼斯宣布道:“从今天开始,巨蛇城不只是我的领地,也是你们的家,我们将共同经营这里。我宣布,在巨蛇城的范围内,将不会有奴役,每一个人都是自由民。包括以后住进这里的,现在还生活在大陆上某一个角落的人,如果他们愿意成为我的子民的话,我也将给予他们自由。这是为了感谢你们对我的帮助,你们都是巨蛇城的创始元老。至于我本人,从今天开始,不再是谁的儿子。我,琼斯・德拉库拉,是巨蛇城德拉库拉家族的始祖。我将靠自己统治这片领地,而不是站在谁的福荫之下。”
The caskgoes out of the crowdto arrive in front ofJones, salutesrespectfully: „Is willingto ascend the skyto blessyou, myfeudal lord. Yourgenerouswill be written downin the history book of Serpent Citydwarf. Wewill always rememberforever.”
酒桶走出人群来到琼斯面前,恭敬地行了个礼:“愿上天祝福您,我的领主阁下。您的慷慨将被载入巨蛇城矮人的史书中。我们将永远铭记。”„Is willingto ascend the skyto blessyou, myfeudal lord!”AlldwarvessalutetowardJones.
“愿上天祝福您,我的领主阁下!”所有的矮人都朝着琼斯行了礼。„Alsois willingto ascend the skyto blessyou, mylead(er)people. Yourgood intentions will also be written down the Serpent CityDraculafamily'shistory book. The Serpent CityDraculafamilywithyouwill standforever.”Jonesreturned to a ritualtothemsimilarlyrespectfully: „Althoughherepresenthas not had a thing in the world, butstarting today, makingustry hardfor the future of thislandstogetherhand in hand.”
“也愿上天祝福你们,我的领民。你们的善意同样将被载入巨蛇城德拉库拉家族的史书。巨蛇城德拉库拉家族将永远与你们站在一起。”琼斯同样恭敬地向他们回了一礼:“尽管这里现在还一无所有,但从今天开始,让我们一起携手为这片土地的未来而努力。”
The dwarvesbroke out the warm applause. Somepeoplecheered. Somepeopleblew the whistling.
矮人们响起了热烈的掌声。有人欢呼了起来。有人吹起了口哨。Dorastandsinone sidelookssilently.朵拉站在一旁默默地看着。„You, Dora.”Joneshas leaned the face, saidin a soft voice: „Iwill try hardto make money, buysyourcontract. Yourparents'contract. Letyoualsoenjoy the freebody.”
“还有你,朵拉。”琼斯侧过脸,轻声说道:“我会努力赚钱,把你的契约买回来。还有你父母的契约。让你们也享有自由身。”„Thankyou, SirJones. Myfeudal lord.”Dorais raising the skirtswayed, salutestowardJonestranquilly.
“感谢您,琼斯大人。我的领主阁下。”朵拉提着裙摆,恬静地朝着琼斯行了个礼。„Futureroad is very long. As the feudal lord, Ineedto studyalsomany. Alsoneedsyouto look.”Jonesreturned to a ritualrespectfully.
“今后的路还很长。身为领主,我需要学的还很多。还需要你多照顾。”琼斯恭敬地回了一礼。Thisshouldbe a newstart. The immatureheartgrew the sprout, the leaving homeblood grouptidied up the mood, cut offallreadthinks, made the commitment, stepped the newbattle path.
这应该算是一个新的开始吧。幼小的心长出了新芽,离家的血族收拾心情,斩断了所有念想,又许下承诺,踏上了新的征途。
The courageis growing, does not have anyagaincanfetterhis.
勇气在生长,再也没有什么可以束缚他的了。
......
……„Ifwewantto establish a greatcity-state, the lightgold oreisdefinitelyinsufficient. Ineedmoreindustries. Before that Ineedto make up the blueprint of territory. Imustbe familiarwithmyterritory.”
“如果我们想要建立一座伟大的城邦的话,光金矿是肯定不够的。我需要更多的产业。在那之前,我需要补完领地的图纸。我必须对自己的领地了如指掌。”On footwalking, Jonesleadsjust the idleseveraldwarvesto startto surveyownterritory.
徒步走着,琼斯带着刚好空闲的几个矮人开始测量起了自己的领地。
The Serpent Cityterritoryis very big, greatly, hasCountDracula100times of Territory. It the peripheral zone of blood grouplivingregionon the Colinpeninsula. Northandeast sideis the blood groupterritory, the south sideis a territory in goblinkingdom, the westis away fromtogether the mountain range, was the humanstate.巨蛇城的领地很大,非常大,足足有德拉库拉伯爵领地的一百倍。它位于科林半岛上血族聚居区域的边缘地带。北面和东面都是血族的领地,南边是一个哥布林王国的领地,西面隔着一道山脉,就是人类国度了。Becausehumanis not interestedin the mountain range, the westhas not even marked off. IfJoneswants, the territoryscaleevencanexpandagainonetime. Howeverthattime of land of expansionisbarren, dangerousregion that or the demonbeastis found. It‘s nothingpractical significance. Moreover, blood groupstolandsizenotbigrequest, therefore the land areais big, withvaluableistwo matters.
由于人类对山脉也不感兴趣,西面甚至至今都没有划界。如果琼斯愿意的话,领地规模甚至可以再扩张一倍。然而扩张的那一倍土地都是贫瘠,或者魔兽遍布的险恶区域。没什么实际意义。而且,血族们对土地大小并没有多大的要求,所以土地面积大,跟值钱是两码事。Because ofhereland not valuablerelations, in the contractcopy clerk of connection an accuratemapdoes not even haveprobably. Joneshasto survey. Fortunately, hehasonegroup of dwarfpartners who excel atthisaspect.
大概因为这里的土地并不值钱的关系吧,交接的契约文书里甚至连一张准确的地图都没有。琼斯只好自己测量。幸运的是,他有一群擅长这方面的矮人伙伴。„Icangivethem the land, is willingto be occupied byhereperson. SuchSerpent Citywill be prosperous, seems likeHealdsuch.”
“我可以把土地给他们,所有愿意居住到这里的人。这样巨蛇城才会兴盛,就好像希尔德那样。”„Ifyouwantto become a greatfeudal lord, mustunderstandenoughmany. The greatfeudal lordis not necessarily good atfighting, butexcels certainly at the operation and management. May notbe skilled ineachdomain, butmustbrowse. Before enoughpersonhelpsyou, youmust a persondoallmatters. Thiswill be difficult.”
“如果你想成为一位伟大的领主的话,一定要懂得足够多。伟大的领主不一定擅长战斗,但一定擅长经营与管理。不一定要精通每一个领域,但一定要都有所涉猎。在没有足够的人帮你之前,你必须一个人干完所有的事。这会非常艰难。”„Ifthisroadis not difficult, that everyone canachieve? In that case, finalvictory, does not seemmagnificent.”
“如果这条路不艰难的话,那岂不是每一个人都可以做到?那样的话,最后的胜利,也不会显得辉煌。”
......
……„AroundSerpent Cityalmostcannot the tradeplace, before thisalsobe , biggest problem that the gold orecomes across. The transport expense were too expensive/noble.”
“巨蛇城周围几乎没有可以贸易的地点,这也是之前金矿遇到的最大问题。运费实在太贵了。”„Perhapsyoucanconsider the southerngoblinkingdom. Thatis away fromourrecentplaces, onlyneedssevendays of distances.” The caskremindersaid.
“也许你可以考虑一下南部的哥布林王国。那是距离我们最近的地方,只需要七天的路程。”酒桶提醒道。Hesitant, Jonesrepliedin a soft voice: „Thisis a goodidea, Ishouldfind a timeto visit the goblinkingdom. However the wordsin that case, weneedto cultivate/repair a road. Thiswill lackverymanymanpower.”
犹豫了一下,琼斯轻声答道:“这是个不错的主意,我应该找个时间拜访一下哥布林王国。不过那样一来的话,我们就需要修一条路了。这会缺非常多的人手。”Jonesis pressed the browto pondercarefully.琼斯蹙着眉头细细地思考着。Ifhenot onlywantsto develop a gold oreto repay a debt, then the needmanpower, the investment, isastronomical figures. Manythings, hehas toconsiderahead of schedule.
如果他不仅仅是想开发一条金矿还债的话,那么需要的人手,投资,将会是一个天文数字。许多的事情,他不得不提早考虑。Fortunately, last night such a noisy, hehas no scruplesnow.
幸运的是,昨晚那么一闹,他现在已经没有什么顾忌了。
......
……Adolfstandsin the high placequietly, is staring athimsilently, looks atthisstrangely, strangeblood group that in broad daylightcomes outto work. Looks that lichking in thishearsaybrings up a son.阿道夫悄悄站在高处,默默地盯着他,看着这个诡异的,大白天出来干活的诡异血族。看着这个传闻中的巫妖王养子。
......
……„Ifyoudo not haveotherthings...... actuallyyouto rest, wecansolve.”
“如果你没有其他事情的话……其实你可以休息一下的,我们自己能解决。”„Thisis the matter. Youdid not say that Iwantto work as a greatfeudal lord, canbrowse? Icometo study the explorationwithyounow.”
“这就是事情。你不是说我想当一位伟大的领主,一定要都有所涉猎吗?我现在就来跟你学勘探。”„Good.”Helpless the casksighed, saidgrinningly: „To be honest, Ia littleregretted that spokesuchwordstoyou. Ifelt that youare robbingmyrice bowl. If the blood grouplearnedexplores, but alsowants the dwarfto do? The blood grouphas the infinitelife span.”
“好吧。”酒桶无奈叹了口气,笑嘻嘻地说道:“老实说,我有点后悔跟你说那样的话了。我感觉你在抢我的饭碗。如果血族学会勘探的话,还要矮人干什么呢?血族拥有无限的寿命。”Asonepiece the goaldecides as„greatcity-state” the territory, the matter that needsto handleare many, the matter that butcanhandlenoware few. RegardingJones, the matter that hecanhandleare not at least many. Allmustproceed in an orderly way.
作为一片将目标定为“伟大城邦”的领地,需要做的事情非常非常多,但现在能做的事情却非常少。至少对于琼斯来说,他能做的事情并不多。所有的一切都必须循序渐进。Entireday, Jonesbesidesaround the surveycastletopography , helping the caskdo odd jobsdirtily , helping explore. The dwarveseat meal, heis drinking the bloodinone sidesilently. Has saying that the blood groupdid odd jobsto be possible the dwarfto do odd jobs is too more. Theycanachieve the matter that manydwarvescannot achieve.
整整一天的时间,琼斯除了测量城堡周围的地势之外,就是灰头土脸地帮酒桶打杂,帮忙勘探。矮人们吃饭,他就在一旁默默地喝着血。不得不说,血族打杂可比矮人打杂好太多了。他们能做到许多矮人做不到的事情。„Thisregion, torefinery.”Jonespoints at the map that was just drawing up saying: „Heretopographyis quite smooth, sidehas the water source, moreoverwelater the bigprobabilityminefromthisside, the distance of transportationwill not be far. Youcanfirstarrange the manpowerto helpAdolfreorganize. If possible, cultivates a section of roadagain, althoughdefinitelycannot repair completely, butalsocompared withleaving unusedmanpower.”
“这片区域,给提炼厂。”琼斯指着刚绘制的地图说道:“这里的地势比较平整,旁边有水源,而且我们以后大概率从这旁边开采,运输的距离不会太远。你可以先安排人手帮阿道夫整理一下。如果可以的话,再修一段路,虽然肯定修不完,但也比闲置人手强。”„Good.” The caskshrugged.
“好的。”酒桶摊了摊手。
Everyone bustled about, whomso long asbecauseseesto have free time, Joneswill givehimto assign the work. Naturally, pays the wage. The dwarvesare also gladspecially, after allhas moneyto gain.
每个人都忙碌了起来,因为只要看到谁有空,琼斯就会给他分配工作。当然,是发薪水的。矮人们也特别乐意,毕竟有钱赚。To manyworks- makes moneylike this simplesamsara, to thembeforeexpectedsimply. BecausebeforeJonesannouncedgivesthem the freebody, theirevenothers'property.
对于许多人来说工作-赚钱这样的简单轮回,对于他们来说之前简直就是奢望。因为在琼斯宣布给予他们自由身之前,他们自己甚至都还是别人的财产。Althoughcomparesinpurchasing the money of slaveandvariousmaterialandrevolution, sends the money of wageto be really fewcanignore.
虽然相比于购买奴隶和各种材料及运转的钱,发薪水的钱实在少得可以忽略不计。
......
……
The nightfalls, Adairledownsteward, the guardto arrive in front ofJones.
夜幕降临的时候,亚岱尔带着自己的管家,护卫来到了琼斯面前。Metsame the firstmatter, AdairhugsJoneslike the pastas before: „Hi, myBrotherJones. Sorry, yesterdayhad not added onyourbusy, won't youblameme?”
见面第一件事,亚岱尔依旧是如同以往一样拥抱琼斯:“嗨,我的琼斯兄弟。抱歉,昨天没帮上你的忙,你不会怪我吧?”„No, cannot. Thank you.”
“不,不会。谢谢你。”„Really?”
“真的?”Jonessmileswas saying: „Youhave helpedmebe many.”琼斯微笑着说道:“你已经帮了我很多了。”„ButIthought that are not enough. In fact, Icanhelpyoube more. Ifyouare willingto makemehelpyou. Icanmakeyouhave the wealth of instantaneouslyexceedingyour father.”
“但我觉得还不够多。事实上,我可以帮你更多。如果你愿意让我帮你的话。我可以瞬间就让你拥有超越你父亲的财富。”„ButIdo not think that youhelpmyso many.”
“可我不想你帮我那么多。”„Why?”Adairgawked.
“为什么?”亚岱尔愣了一下。„Because ofmewantsbyoneself. Letmebyoneself, youhave helpedmebe manyenough.”Jonesrepliedearnestly: „Pleaseforgivemyselfish. Ithinkveryclearly, Ihave fearedaboutmy father , because Idepend uponhim. Allpresenting, have the price. Only thenbyoneself, I have the possibilityto livefearlesslyinthisworld.”
“因为我想靠自己。让我靠自己吧,你已经帮了我足够多了。”琼斯认真地答道:“请原谅我的自私。我想得很清楚,我之所以一直对我父亲恐惧,是因为我依靠他。所有的馈赠,都是有代价的。只有靠自己,我才有可能无所畏惧地活在这个世界上。”„Eh...... good, ifyouneedmeto helpyouranything, toldmemomentarily,Iprepareto helpyouat any time.”
“额……好吧,如果你需要我帮你些什么的话,随时跟我说,我随时准备帮助你。”„Thanks.”
“谢谢。”Leaned the face, Adairhas seendistant placeonegroup of dwarvesto buildanythingin the riverside: „Yourgold ore there?”
侧过脸,亚岱尔望见了远处一群矮人正在河边修筑着什么:“你的金矿就在那里吗?”„Thatis not the gold ore.”Jonespointed atsidewas saying: „Gold oreinside. ThereispreparestoAdolfis usedto construct the refinery.”
“那不是金矿。”琼斯指着旁边说:“金矿在旁边。那里是准备给阿道夫用来建提炼厂的。”„Adolfrefinery?”Adairgawked.
“阿道夫的提炼厂?”亚岱尔愣了一下。„Yes. Tomorrowwas the fraternitygot together, Imadetomorrowto meetwithAdolf. Hemustconstruct a refinery here, purchasesmygold oreore. Thisrefineryis very importanttome.”
“是的。明天就是兄弟会聚会了,我跟阿道夫约好了明天见面。他要在我这里建一座提炼厂,收购我的金矿矿石。这座提炼厂对我十分重要。”„Eh......”
“额……”„What's wrong?”
“怎么啦?”Adairreceived the god, replied: „No, no. Iam thinking, ifthisrefineryis constructedbyme, perhapswill be better. Ialsowantto make some money of refinement.”亚岱尔收了收神,答道:“不,没什么。我在想,这座提炼厂如果由我来建的话,也许会更好。我也想赚一些提炼的钱。”„MakesAdolfcome.”Jonessmileswas saying: „Ihave promisedhim, and has signed the agreement. The merchantsmustkeep words.”
“还是让阿道夫来吧。”琼斯微笑着说道:“我已经答应他了,而且已经签了协议。商人必须守信。”Adairis blinking the eye, pondering.亚岱尔眨巴着眼睛,思考着。„What's wrong?”
“怎么啦?”„No. It‘s nothing, Ithought ofotherthings.”
“不。没什么,我只是想到了其他事情而已。”„How longtomorrow the fraternityI may unable to stay, after allImadeAdolfto meet, obtain the chamber of commerceto go. Also hasotherthings to do.”
“明天兄弟会我可能呆不了多长时间,毕竟我约了阿道夫见面,得到商会去。同时还有其他事情要做。”„Doesn't matter, Iaccompanyyou.”
“没关系,我陪你。”„Do youaccompanyme?”
“你陪我?”„Yes, Iaccompanyyou.”Adairlets go saying: „Ileadyouto strollHeald Chamber of Commerce, perhaps can also introduce that other peoplemakeyouknow.”
“是的,我陪你。”亚岱尔摊手道:“我带你逛逛希尔德商会,也许还可以介绍一些其他人让你认识。”„Right? Good!”Jonesis overjoyedimmediately: „Ijustneedthis!”
“是吗?太好了!”琼斯顿时喜出望外:“我正需要这个!”„Do youneedthis?”
“你需要这个?”„Ineedto developotherbusiness, knowsmorepeople. Adolfsaid that knewmorepeople, seek for the business. Ithought that hesaidright.”
“我需要开拓其他生意,认识更多的人。阿道夫说的,认识更多的人,寻找生意。我觉得他说得对。”Adairis hesitatingasking: „What did he...... alsosayothertoyou?”亚岱尔犹豫着问道:“他……还跟你说了其他什么吗?”„Othermany, aboutbusiness, aboutrefinery. What's wrong?”
“还有其他很多,关于生意,关于提炼厂的。怎么啦?”„No, no. TomorrowIaccompanyyou.”Adairvowed solemnly that said: „Ifyouhad been determined that mustdo business, letter/believesme, IcanhelpyouknowHealdwell. After allthatismy family.”
“不,没什么。明天我陪你。”亚岱尔信誓旦旦地说道:“如果你已经决心要做生意的话,信我,我能帮你更好地认识希尔德。毕竟那就是我家的。”„Thank.”Shakes the hand of Adair, Joneswas sayinggrateful.
“感谢。”握着亚岱尔的手,琼斯感激地说道。„You're welcome, thisisshoulddoasbrothersI. Otherwisewants the fraternityto do?”Adairheheis smiling, beginssupinely, hesuddenlydiscovered that Hydrastretched out a headto visithimfrom the castlesilently, thatlaughteronebecameis awkwardly incomparable.
“不用谢,这是身为兄弟的我应该做的。不然要兄弟会干嘛呢?”亚岱尔呵呵地笑着,仰起头,他忽然发现九头蛇从城堡里伸出了一个脑袋在默默地看着他,那笑声一下变得尴尬无比了。Under the dim light of night, the surroundingpoint of castleis on fire, the dwarf and zombiesis still bustling about. Everyonemakes all-out effortsto struggle.
夜色下,城堡的周围点起了火把,矮人和僵尸们还在忙碌着。所有人都铆足了劲在奋斗。On the cliff of distant place, the correct usemagiclong-distanceis interceptingAdolfreceivedownmagic artsquietly, retrocededstep by step.
远处的悬崖上,正用魔法远程窃听着的阿道夫悄悄收起了自己的法术,一步步后退。„Thislichkingadopted son...... as ifwithdifferenceextremebig that Ithink. Perhaps, Iused the strengthin the wrongdirection. Butdoes not startfromhim, where should Istart? Must, unable to makeanybodydetectourexistencequietly.”
“这个巫妖王的养子……似乎跟我想的差别非常非常之大。也许,我将力气用在了错误的方向上了。可是不从他身上入手,我又应该从哪里入手呢?必须悄无声息地,不能让任何人察觉到我们的存在。”Saying, the blueformsameis scatteringlike the wind-drift sandquietlyin the wind.
说着,蓝色的身影如同流沙一样悄悄飘散在风中。
