After two people consult, Pattee drew up the further contract for two people. Adolf swept one in a hurry, on signature. Signs, the bank bills of 200,000 gold coins took, but also urged one specially: „If insufficient said one, I make up again.” 两人接洽完之后,帕蒂娅为两人拟定了进一步的合同。阿道夫匆匆扫了一眼,就签字了。签完,二十万金币的银行票据就拿了出来,还特意叮嘱了一句:“如果不够的话说一声,我再补。” „No.” Grasps the bill, Jones was saying hastily: „Will not exceed expenditures. I will certainly not make it exceed expenditures.” “不。”握着票据,琼斯连忙说道:“不会超支的。我一定不会让它超支的。” „Will not exceed expenditures well, but if exceeded expenditures , are not related.” Adolf smiles was saying: „This to me is only an attempt, attempt surely risky, I have prepared to take the risk.” “不会超支最好,但如果超支了,也没关系。”阿道夫微笑着说道:“这对我来说只是一次尝试而已,尝试必定有风险的,我已经准备好承担风险了。” Saying, Adolf looked to another side Adair: „Young Master Adair, I have other things, first walked.” 说着,阿道夫望向了另一边的亚岱尔:“亚岱尔少爷,我还有其他事情,就先走了。” „Do you want to walk quickly?” Jones asked. “你这么快就要走？”琼斯问。 „Yes, other matters. Moreover, matter has finished talking, not?” “是的,还有其他事。而且,事情已经谈完了,不是吗？” „Has the matter you to be first busy.” Adair nods, said: „I bring Jones to stroll the chamber of commerce.” “有事你就先忙吧。”亚岱尔点了点头,说道:“我带琼斯逛逛商会。” „Good, wishing you are happy.” Saying, Adolf has been setting out, salutes toward Adair, salutes toward Jones, turned around to depart. “好的,祝你们愉快。”说着,阿道夫已经起身,朝着亚岱尔行了个礼,又朝着琼斯行了个礼,转身离去了。 When walks after Adolf, Adair said in a soft voice: „With shows me the bank bill.” 待到阿道夫走后,亚岱尔才轻声说道:“把银行票据拿给我看看。” Jones gawked, handed over the bank bill in hand. 琼斯愣了一下,将手中的银行票据递了过去。 Received the bill, Adair examined carefully. 接过票据,亚岱尔细细地查看了起来。 „What's wrong? Does the bill have the issue?” “怎么啦？票据有问题吗？” „No, no. Where I have a look at these bills to sign and issue. It is not our Sambo family's bank.” Saying, Adair handed over the bill: „Walks, I lead you to stroll the chamber of commerce, introduced that some people make you know. Otherwise, the matter of your refinery said that greatly loudly says slightly big, will have much troublesome.” “不,没有。我只是看看这些票据是哪里签发的。不是我们萨姆博家族的银行。”说着,亚岱尔又把票据递了回去:“走,我带你逛逛商会,介绍些人让你认识。否则的话,你这提炼厂的事情说大不大说小不小,也会有不少麻烦的。” „Good, thanks.” Jones replied in a soft voice. “好的,谢谢。”琼斯轻声答道。 ...... …… Meanwhile, Adolf had gone out of the chamber of commerce front door. A carriage out of the door he. 与此同时,阿道夫已经走出了商会大门。一辆马车正在门外等他。 After Adolf boards, said one in a soft voice: „Walks.” 阿道夫上车之后,轻声说了一句:“走吧。” „Harnesses!” The goblin cart driver called, the carriage starts to go along the street slowly. “驾！”哥布林车夫吆喝了一声,马车开始沿着街道缓缓地行驶。 At this moment, before chamber of commerce gate, the Adair steward is looking at this carriage from afar. 此时此刻,商会门前,亚岱尔的管家正远远地看着这辆马车。 „Which carriage is this? Does he have the industry in Heald?” “这是哪的马车？他在希尔德有产业吗？” Nearby Adair blood group guard replied in a soft voice: „No, this car(riage) rents. He has stayed in the hotel.” 旁边亚岱尔的血族侍卫轻声答道:“没有,这辆车是租来的。他一直住在旅馆里。” „Has stayed in the hotel?” “一直住在旅馆里？” „Yes.” “是的。” „Other discoveries?” “还有其他发现吗？” „No, but this person questionable point is truly big.” “没有,不过这个人疑点确实很大。” „How to say?” The stewards have leaned the face. “怎么说？”管家侧过脸去。 The guards then said: „He hardly goes out, has stayed in the hotel. Every goes out one time, seems either related with Young Master Adair, either is related with Young Master Jones. In the past this week, he did not have a gate. The window curtains has drawn, inside also supposed anything that forbids the magic sensation, we cannot see inside what situation completely. Moreover...... he confessed specially the hotel does not permit in the situation, in without him agreeing with enters the room.” 侍卫接着说道:“他几乎不出门,就一直呆在旅馆。每一次出门,似乎要么跟亚岱尔少爷有关,要么跟琼斯少爷有关。就在过去这一个星期,他没出过一趟门。窗帘一直都是拉上的,里面还设了禁止魔法感知的什么东西,我们完全看不到里面什么情况。而且……他特意交代了旅馆不准在未经他同意的情况下进入房间。” „, Right? How one week does not go out...... that hotel to deliver to eat to him?” “哦,是吗？一个星期不出门……那旅馆怎么给他送吃的呢？” „Without delivering to eat, seems him not to need to eat thing. If did not separate for a week, he walks from the room, the bosses in hotel think that he went far. Also, his rent one breath gave for a year.” “没有送吃的,就好像他不用吃东西似的。如果不是隔了一个星期,他从房间里走出来,旅馆的老板都以为他出远门了。还有,他的租金一口气给了一年。” The stewards stretched out one to point, cancelled the check. 管家伸出一只手指,勾了勾。 The guards pasted the ear hastily. 侍卫连忙把耳朵贴了过去。 The stewards said in a low voice: „Person who looks for several not to have the relations with us, after he enters the room .” 管家低声说道:“找几个跟我们没关系的人,在他进入房间之后,冲进去。” „Clash/To?” The guards gawked. “冲进去？”侍卫愣了一下。 „Right.” The stewards nod: „Has a look at him to make anything in the room.” “对。”管家点了点头:“看看他在房间里做什么。” „But...... this is Young Master Adair friend, did we do that to be too disrespectful?” “可……这是亚岱尔少爷的朋友,我们这么做会不会太失礼了？” „Is disrespectful.” The stewards show a faint smile, said meaningfully: „Therefore, cannot do by our people. Other As for people, we cannot manage.” “非常失礼。”管家微微一笑,意味深长地说道:“所以,才不能由我们的人来做。至于其他人,我们又管不着。” The guard blinked two eyes dull, nods: „I understood, I will look for several not to have with Sambo family relations, and with I also irrelevant person.” 那侍卫呆呆地眨巴了两下眼睛,点了点头:“我明白了,我会找几个跟萨姆博家族一点关系都没有,并且跟我也无关的人。” „Goes.” The stewards beckon with the hand gently. “去吧。”管家轻轻摆了摆手。 „Yes.” The guards glanced right and left, curled the cloak to get out of the way quietly. “是。”侍卫左顾右盼了一下,卷着披风悄悄走开了。 ...... …… „Come, has a look here. This is one to our Sambo family business important place.” Adair put out a hand to shove open a door. “来,看看这里。这是一个对我们萨姆博家族生意至关重要的地方。”亚岱尔伸手推开了一扇门。 A giant room, in the room rows of tables, on almost every table piled up with the paper document, by each table also sits a blood group. Sketchily seems like, at least has over 100. 一个巨大房间,房间里一排排的桌子,几乎每张桌子上都堆满了纸质文件,每一张桌子旁也都坐着一个血族。粗略看上去,至少有一百个以上。 Sees Adair, the person in room as if gawked, stood hastily. 见到亚岱尔,房间里的人似乎都愣了一下,连忙一个个站了起来。 „Welcome you, Young Master Adair.” Everyone stood, everyone is saluting toward Adair. “欢迎您,亚岱尔少爷。”每一个人都站了起来,每一个人都在朝着亚岱尔行礼。 Jones cannot help but opened the eye. 琼斯不由得睁大了眼睛。 „These are the Sambo family's advisers, or this is the Sambo family's advisory group.” Adair has turned head, to following to say after behind Jones: „Pattee also works here.” “这些都是萨姆博家族的顾问,或者说,这是萨姆博家族的顾问团。”亚岱尔回过头,对跟在身后的琼斯说道:“帕蒂娅也在这里工作。” „Yes, my position here.” Pattee is pointing is emptying the table said. “是的,我的位置在这里。”帕蒂娅指着其中一张空着的桌子说道。 „Business, most important is the information, chooses flows to where money, flows to where the cargo, will serve to flow to where. This needs the information without exception. The choice best service, sells the highest price, buys the lowest price, this also needs the information. The pull-up profit, reduces the cost to the full. Depended information.” Leans the face, Adair has looked to one group of advisers said: „For example, I want to sell the gold/metal ore.” “商业,最重要的就是信息,选择将钱流向何处,将货物流向何处,将服务流向何处。这无一例外地都需要信息。选择最好的服务,卖最高的价格,买最低的价格,这也需要信息。最大限度地拉升利润,压低成本。靠的还是信息。”侧过脸,亚岱尔望向一帮顾问说道:“比如,我想卖金矿石。” And an adviser says immediately: „Here has the customers of four demand gold/metal ores, including two are our Sambo family's people. Young Master Adair, so long as there is a sample, I can help you ask about the price immediately.” 其中一位顾问当即开口说道:“我这里有四个需求金矿石的客户,其中有两家是我们萨姆博家族的人。亚岱尔少爷,只要有样品,我可以马上帮您询问到价格。” „For example I want to solve the transportation problem.” “比如我想解决运输问题。” Another adviser said immediately: „Young Master Adair, I undertake to transport the organization to have the relation with 12, can build the most appropriate transportation plan at the maximum speed.” 另一位顾问当即说道:“亚岱尔少爷,我与十二家承运机构有联系,可以以最快的速度打造最合适的运输方案。” „For example I want to arrange the gold ore refinery.” “比如我想筹备金矿提炼厂。” Another adviser stood: „Young Master Adair, here has the fit and unfit quality assessment reports of various gold ore refinement technologies. You can refer.” 又一位顾问站了出来:“亚岱尔少爷,我这里有各种金矿提炼技术的优劣评估报告。您可以参考一下。” „Heard?” Adair smiles was saying: „This is the business. Others probably take several months, the news that even several years can even up, only needs the flash to obtain here. Even some news they are unable to obtain forever, when or they obtain, is too late.” “听到了吗？”亚岱尔微笑着说道:“这就是商业。别人可能需要几个月,甚至几年才能找齐的消息,在这里只需要一瞬间就可以获得。甚至有些消息他们永远都无法获得,或者说当他们获得的时候,已经太迟了。” Leans the face, Adair had said: „Price trend estimate that told me the following dwarf slave.” 侧过脸,亚岱尔说道:“告诉我接下来矮人奴隶的价格走势预计。” „Good, Young Master Adair.” And an adviser opened the book rapidly, said: „From last year to this year, the dwarf slave number that various Heald slave firms input promoted 10%, the sales volume reduced 5%, this year the price of overall dwarf slave reduced 7%. It is expected to also fall over the following year. According to cycle, without the big demand change, will rise again in year after next.” “好的,亚岱尔少爷。”其中一位顾问迅速翻开了本子,说道:“从去年到今年,希尔德各奴隶商行输入的矮人奴隶数量提升了百分之十,销售数量减少了百分之五,今年整体矮人奴隶的价格降低了百分之七。预计接下来的一年还会下跌。按照周期,如果没有大的需求变化,将会在后年回升。” „Listens. This is the Sambo family's success, they will provide all kinds of information and suggestions. Naturally, finally decides to want under.” Patted the shoulder of Jones, Adair said: „Come, how I teach you to utilize this advisory group.” “听听。这就是萨姆博家族的制胜法宝,他们会提供各种各样的信息和建议。当然,最终决定还是要自己下。”拍了拍琼斯的肩膀,亚岱尔说道:“来,我教你怎么运用这个顾问团。” ...... …… While Jones also when is the Sambo family's advisory group exclaims in surprise, Adolf had returned to the hotel. 正当琼斯还在为萨姆博家族的顾问团惊叹的时候,阿道夫已经回到了旅馆。 That is Heald is simple hotel. Four buildings, iron grey, some old constructions, what the entrance guards a gate is a barbarian servant. 那是一个希尔德里再简单不过的旅馆。四层楼,灰白色的,有些旧建筑,门口守门的是一个野蛮人奴仆。 Sees Adolf, the barbarian servant salutes hastily respectfully. 见到阿道夫,野蛮人奴仆连忙恭敬地行了个礼。 Nods, Adolf interlocks with him. 点了点头,阿道夫与他交错而过。 In Schilde, such hotel are many, generally speaking, the high-rank blood group will not live in this place. Even is not willing to live the elf in this place. Will live here, caravan that only then passes by the road. 在希尔德,这样的旅馆很多,一般来说,上位血族都不会住在这种地方。甚至连精灵都不愿意住在这种地方。会住在这里的,只有过路的商队。 Lacking construction of maintenance, the noisy environment, no guest of education, almost every corner is chaotic. Each person clothes of also mostly are some inexpensive cotton materials, either grey, either brown, rarely sees any bright color. Puts on Adolf of formal clothes to walk to be one of them, especially conspicuous. 缺乏维护的建筑,嘈杂的环境,没什么教养的客人,几乎每一个角落都乱糟糟的。每一个人身上的衣服也大多是些廉价的布料,要么灰,要么褐,很少看到什么鲜艳的颜色。穿着一袭礼服的阿道夫走在其中,格外的显眼。 „Did Young Master Adolf, you come back?” Blind a goblin boss of eye leaned on the walking stick to stand in the stairway smiles toward Adair. “阿道夫少爷,您回来了？”瞎了一只眼睛的地精老板拄着拐杖站在楼梯口朝着亚岱尔笑了笑。 „Yes, just came back, prepares to go to the room. To disturb me.” “是的,刚刚回来,准备回房间。不要让人打搅我。” „Good and ensure cannot some people disturb you.” “好的,保证不会有人打搅您。” Interlocks with the goblin boss, Adolf stepped onto the staircase step by step, walks upward, until fourth, toward the east that room, swayed from side to side to walk the hand gently. 与地精老板交错而过,阿道夫一步步走上了楼梯,一路往上走,直到第四层,朝着东边的那个房间,轻轻扭动把手走了进去。 ...... …… Outside hotel, the corner of street, several blood group that is throwing over the cape is looking at the direction of hotel from afar. 旅馆外,街道的转角处,几个披着斗篷的血族正远远地望着旅馆的方向。 And a blood group said in a soft voice: „Four buildings, by eastern that room.” 其中一个血族轻声说道:“四楼,靠东那个房间。” „How do we go in? Comes up from the first floor directly?” Another blood group asked. “我们怎么进去？直接从一楼上去吗？”另一个血族问。 „Perhaps is not good. The order that we receive must have a look at him to make anything. If we come up directly...... three buildings from the first floor above are the forbidden areas, we rush to the sound is too big hardly, he will soon discover.” “恐怕不行。我们接到的命令是要看看他在做什么。如果我们直接从一楼上去的话……三楼以上都是禁区,我们硬闯动静太大,他很快就会发现。” „That can only go from the window, hits hardly. Across the window curtains, can see that together he is making anything.” “那就只能从窗户进去了,硬撞进去。穿过一道窗帘而已,就可以看到他在做什么。” „Manages. Remember, do not harm him, actually in we have a look are anything, why he stays in inside is so long.” “就这么办吧。记住,不要伤害他,我们只是看看里面究竟是什么,他为什么在里面呆那么久。” „Needs to retreat the preparation gives a pretext? For example admitting mistakes person and so on?” “需要为撤退准备借口吗？例如认错人之类的？” „Does not use, without confessing this aspect.” “不用,没交代这方面。” „Good, got it.” “好的,明白了。” Altogether four blood groups. They change to the bat shape in abundance, flew in the direction of hotel. 一共四个血族。他们纷纷化作蝙蝠形态,朝着旅馆的方向飞了过去。 ...... …… All window blinds drew. 所有的窗帘都被拉上了。 Ignites in the room of candle, Adolf moistened a charcoal with the finger, drew up some design on the room floor rapidly. 点着蜡烛的房间里,阿道夫用手指沾了一点木炭,飞速地在房间正中的地板上绘制起了某种图案。 That design specially tedious, various probably geometric patterns pile up in together, edge also has some writing like tadpole. 那图案特别地繁琐,像是各种几何图案堆积在一起,边缘处还有某种像蝌蚪一样的文字。 Adolf looks very skilled, only one meeting, the extremely complex design has drawn up to be completed. Flicks off on the finger gently the surplus charcoals, he uses the left hand from the sky to gesticulate, read an incantation. A magic wand appeared in his hand instantaneously. 阿道夫看上去十分熟练,只一会,极为复杂的图案已经绘制完成了。轻轻弹掉手指上剩余的木炭,他用左手在空中比划着,念了一段咒文。一把魔杖瞬间出现在了他的手中。 The magic wand selects gently in the edge of design, the black design that all of a sudden, the charcoal plan becomes emitted the strange ray. 魔杖轻轻点在图案的边缘,一下子,木炭绘制而成的黑色图案放射出了诡异的光芒。 Weak, transmits like the electric current general sound, the above of design ripped open gate of the space slowly. 一阵微弱的,如同电流一般的声响传来,图案的上方缓缓撕开了一道空间之门。 ...... …… „Three, two, one! On!” “三,二,一！上！” Grating, sound of glass disruption. 一声刺耳的,玻璃碎裂的声响。 Four bats hit on the window that shuts tightly in the hotel neatly. All of a sudden, the glass in window was cracked-up, four bats break in the room neatly, melts the human form to fall to the ground. 四只蝙蝠齐刷刷地撞在旅馆紧闭的窗户上。一下子,窗上的玻璃被撞碎了,四只蝙蝠齐刷刷地冲入房中,化出人形落地。 However...... 然而…… „Well? What situation?” “咦？什么情况？” In the room anything does not have. 房间里什么都没有。 Yes, anything does not have. The ground does not have magic, anything does not have, does not have Adolf. It seems Adolf not to come back to be the same. 是的,什么都没有。地上也没有魔法阵,什么都没有,更没有阿道夫。就好像阿道夫从来没有回来过一样。 Four blood groups look at each other in blank dismay. 四个血族面面相觑。 And shoves open the door to examine the room number hastily, discovered that they have not found fault the room. 其中一个连忙推开房门去查看房号,发现他们没找错房间。 This, was ignorant. 这一下,就更懵了。 ...... …… At this moment, continent another corner. 此时此刻,大陆的另一个角落。 Bottom. 地底。 Dim and depressing space, like dike of giant tree rhizome same distortion. On the dike, has, like the gem same pale blue globe, is sending out the gentle and dim ray, seems on the dike is naturally long is the same. 昏暗而压抑的空间,如同巨木根茎一样扭曲的岩壁。岩壁上,有着一个个,如同宝石一样淡蓝色球状物,散发着柔和而黯淡的光芒,仿佛是岩壁上天然长出来的一样。 In each globe, deep sleep a person. Has the man, has the woman, has the middle-aged person, there is a child. What largest is the child. 每一个球状物里,都沉睡着一个人。有男人,有女人,有中年人,也有孩子。这其中,数量最多的是孩子。 The innumerable child, is rolling up the body, shuts tightly both eyes, calmly stays in the spherical object. 数不清的孩子,一个个都蜷缩着身体,紧闭双目,静静地呆在球状物体里。 The space midpoint, is a circular, carves full Fuwen the platform. 空间的正中央,是一个圆形的,刻满符文的平台。 The gate of space opened in the platform together, Adolf walked from inside. The gate of that space closed in him behind. 一道空间之门在平台上打开了,阿道夫从里面走了出来。紧接着,那空间之门就在他身后关上了。 Recited an incantation simply, he puts out a hand, in the ground raised immediately a stone column. Above Stone Pillar condensed pale blue baseless, transparent magic book. 简单地念了一句咒语,他伸出手,地面上立即升起了一道石柱。石柱子上方凭空凝聚出了一本淡蓝色的,透明的魔法书。 Lowers the head, he started to glance through silently, seems searching anything. 低下头,他开始默默翻阅了起来,似乎在查找什么。 Meanwhile, in his all around, the ground in platform raised the innumerable tiny stone columns. According to was different, formed the table respectively, the chair, even the wall had. Probably a room is the same. But this room has not gone against, the wall is also broken. 与此同时,在他的四周,平台的地面升起了无数的细小石柱。依据高低不同,各自形成了桌子,椅子,甚至连墙壁都有。就好像一个房间一样。只不过这个房间没有顶,墙壁也是残破的。 „You also close to that lich king adopted son?” “你还在接近那个巫妖王的养子吗？” A sound resounded. 一个声音响起了。 One group of blue fluorescence fog appear in his side, condensed a face. That is an old person's face, has the high nose, the full beard, as well as fiery eyes. 一团蓝色荧光云雾浮现在他的身旁,凝聚出了一张人脸。那是一张老人的脸庞,有着高鼻梁,大胡子,以及炯炯有神的双眼。 „Yes.” Adolf is consulting, while replied: „I also close to him. The differences of somewhat although possibly with us anticipating, but should be useful. The use was inferior big that we imagine.” “是的。”阿道夫一边查阅着,一边答道:“我还在接近他。虽然可能跟我们意料的有些不一样,但应该会有用。只是用处不如我们想象的那么大。” „Why can elect him?” The blue face said in a soft voice: „We have many other choices, side the lich king not only this person.” “为什么一定要选他呢？”蓝色人脸轻声说道:“我们还有其他更多的选择,巫妖王身边不只这一个人。” „But only he is the blood group. Contacts others to have the risk of exposition, but the contact blood group cannot. After all, the blood group first ancestor knew our existences, even the blood group is failure of our Klimatia human improvement plan. Even if has problems, they will still help us erase the trace. We have kept secret for 10,000 years, any reason, should not make us expose before the awakens day. Otherwise...... we these 10,000 years of times, wasted.” “但是只有他是血族。接触其他人会有暴露的风险,而接触血族不会。毕竟,血族始祖本来就知道我们的存在,甚至血族本身就是我们克里玛莎人类改良计划的失败品。就算出问题,他们也会帮我们抹去痕迹。我们已经保密了一万年,任何理由,都不应该让我们在苏醒日之前暴露。否则……我们这一万年的光阴,就白费了。”
