„Are you a king?” Jones was startled. “你是国王？”琼斯都惊了。 „Yes. Can't I be a king?” Lies in the city wall „King goblin” disdaining of face. “是的。我不能是国王吗？”趴在城墙上的“哥布林国王”一脸的不屑。 „Your goblin is the king guards a gate?” “你们哥布林都是国王守门的吗？” „No, as the king does not guard a gate generally. Only if one's turn me.” “不,身为国王一般是不守门的。除非轮到我。” The atmosphere was a little once awkward. 气氛一度有点尴尬了。 The wind of wilderness has blown from the Jones side, Jones raised the head silently is looking up to the city wall „King goblin”, „King goblin” also looks at him silently. 荒野的风从琼斯的身旁刮过,琼斯默默地抬头仰望着城墙上的“哥布林国王”,“哥布林国王”也默默地看着他。 Leans the face, Jones has asked Dora low voice: ’ Is understanding of „goblin this concept to ‚king, with us’ the understanding of this concept to ‚ king, a little different?” 侧过脸,琼斯小声问朵拉:“哥布林对‘国王’这个概念的理解,跟我们对‘国王’这个概念的理解,是不是有点不同？” „Does not know.” Dora shakes the head hastily. “不知道。”朵拉连忙摇头。 „Therefore, what matter you do ask me to have? To buy the slave?” In city wall „King goblin” asked. “所以,你找我有什么事吗？想买奴隶？”城墙上的“哥布林国王”问。 „Do you sell the slave?” “你卖奴隶吗？” „Sells. However during the daytime, in the evening is not my operating time.” “卖的。但是得白天,晚上不是我的工作时间。” Does the king have the operating time? 国王还有工作时间？ Jones was blurrier. 琼斯更加迷糊了。 This special is what situations. 这特么都是什么情况呀。 Thinks, Jones decides to buy several goblin slaves. goblin is in any case good to raise, the price is also cheap. Moreover, if not buy the slave, perhaps the following topic had no way to work. 想了想,琼斯决定买几个哥布林奴隶。反正哥布林好养,价格又便宜。而且,如果不买奴隶的话,也许接下来的话题就没法进行下去了。 He lets go saying: „Can the present sell? I am the blood group, should special accommodation.” 他摊手道:“可以现在卖吗？我是血族,应该特殊照顾一下。” „I never special accommodation any slave merchant, including what blood group.” Saying, „King goblin” shifting to a new subject, was saying grinningly: „But, if you can pay me a tip. I am willing to add get off work.” “我从不特殊照顾任何奴隶商人,包括什么血族。”说着,“哥布林国王”话锋一转,笑嘻嘻地说道:“不过,如果你可以给我一点小费的话。我愿意加一下班。” „Tip? Your meaning is, gives you additionally a money? Is this meaning?” “小费？你的意思是,额外给你一点钱？是这个意思吗？” „Yes, that is it.” “是的,就是这个意思。” „How many wants?” “要多少？” „King goblin” stretched out one to point. “哥布林国王”伸出了一只手指。 „One......” “一……” Actually while Jones hesitates is being 1000 gold coins or 10,000 gold coins time, „King goblin” said one to let the Jones dumbfounded answer: „A silver coin!” 正当琼斯犹豫着究竟是一千金币还是一万金币的时候,“哥布林国王”说出了一个让琼斯目瞪口呆的答案:“一个银币！” „A silver coin?” Jones cannot believe own ear simply. “一个银币？”琼斯简直不敢相信自己的耳朵。 „Yes, a silver coin. If you do not agree, that even. After all I am a king, you want to deceive me to open the door to you with several copper coins, that is not possible.” „King goblin” smilingly said. “是的,一个银币。如果你不同意的话,那就算了。毕竟我是一位国王,你想用几个铜板骗我给你开门,那是不可能的。”“哥布林国王”笑眯眯地说道。 „, I did not agree.” Jones replied hastily: „Is glad!” “不不不,我同意。”琼斯连忙答道:“非常乐意！” „Good! Deal!” Saying, „King goblin” has been running to open the door to Jones from the city wall. “好的！成交！”说着,“哥布林国王”已经屁颠屁颠地从城墙上跑下来给琼斯开门了。 „This what situation?” Jones thought aloud. “这都什么情况？”琼斯自言自语道。 Before long, the giant and inferior city gate started out a seam, „King goblin” pokes head from inside, beckons toward Jones. That appearance is stealthy. 不一会,巨大兼劣质的城门开出了一条缝,“哥布林国王”从里面探出头来,朝着琼斯招了招手。那模样鬼鬼祟祟的。 Jones glanced right and left, brought Dora to walk hastily. 琼斯左顾右盼了一下,连忙带着朵拉走了过去。 Will pass through the gate, was actually pushed by „King goblin”. Jones saw that „King goblin” extended a hand toward him. 正要进门,却又被“哥布林国王”推了回来。紧接着,琼斯看到“哥布林国王”朝他伸出了一只手。 „Silver coin.” “银币。” „Good.” Helpless Jones, he thought that oneself will renege his silver coin tip? Must fish out a gold coin to hand over from the pocket: „I only have the gold coin, hopes that do not mind.” “好吧。”琼斯都无奈了,难道他觉得自己会赖掉他的一个银币小费吗？只得从衣兜里摸出了一个金币递了过去:“我只有金币,希望你不要介意。” „King goblin” was startled! “哥布林国王”都惊了！ Received the gold coin, he steam, was illuminating the photo to moon, but also rubbed rubbing with the clothes, bit, received wild with joy, made way a road to Jones: „I like your such guest , too was really straightforward! For this gold coin, later you make me open the door to you at any time!” 接过金币,他呵了一口热气,对着月亮照了照,还用衣服蹭了蹭,咬了一下,才狂喜地收起来,给琼斯让开一条路:“我喜欢你这样的客人,真的,实在太豪爽了！为了这一个金币,以后你任何时候让我给你开门都可以！” Enters in the city gate, Jones also sees clearly this so-called „King goblin” appearance. 走进城门里,琼斯也才看清楚这个所谓“哥布林国王”的模样。 Only to the head of Jones belly, placing in goblin is short. Is going against one compared with the Jones also big head, bare, only has 2-3 root hair. Two sharp ears, monkey-like, gives extra a big aquiline nose. Two scary big eye and a mouth chaotic tooth. 只到琼斯肚子的个头,放在哥布林里都算矮的。顶着一个比琼斯还大的脑袋,光秃秃的,只有2-3根毛。两只尖尖的耳朵,尖嘴猴腮,外带一个大鹰钩鼻。还有两只骇人的大眼睛和一嘴杂乱无章的牙。 The belly plump, the four limbs are skinny, probably grasshopper. Wears worn-out linen clothes. 肚子圆滚滚的,四肢却干瘦,就好像一只蚱蜢似的。穿着一件破旧的麻布衣服。 Naturally, that perhaps is not the linen clothes, but the linen bundles on the body. 当然,那也许都不是麻布衣服,只是麻布捆在身上而已。 This special is „king”? 这特么就是“国王”？ After „cannot believe after own ear”, Jones started a little unable to believe own eye. 继“不敢相信自己的耳朵”之后,琼斯开始有点不敢相信自己的眼睛了。 „Follows I.” „King goblin” beckons toward Jones excitedly, proceeds stealthily. “跟着我。”“哥布林国王”兴奋地朝着琼斯招了招手,鬼鬼祟祟地往前走。 „Goes?” Jones asked hastily. “去哪？”琼斯连忙问。 „I lead you to select the slave.” „King goblin” replied. “我带你去挑奴隶。”“哥布林国王”答道。 „Sir Jones!” Jones is just about with coming up, Dora caught the hand of Jones hastily anxiously. “琼斯大人！”琼斯正要跟上去,朵拉连忙紧张地拽住了琼斯的手。 „You thought that I do want to be afraid one crowd of goblin?” “你觉得我要害怕一群哥布林吗？” Jones tore the hand of Dora gently, then with. 琼斯轻轻扯开了朵拉的手,然后跟了上去。 The goblin city-state, in the difference outside city wall and city wall does not seem big, similarly is desolated. Is all around ground arches at most one after another, probably small hill. These were the goblin house, in the house also steadily the weed, with the surroundings merely was the difference in curve and altitude. Walks to be one of them, is good , in on land that planted any strange thing is the same. 哥布林的城邦,城墙里与城墙外的差别似乎并不大,同样都是荒芜的。顶多是四周的地面拱起来一块一块的,像是一个个的小丘陵似的。这些就是哥布林的房子,房子上还长了杂草,跟周围仅仅是弧度和高度上的差别而已。走在其中,就好在走在一片种了什么古怪东西的土地上一样。 All around is quiet, other goblin have not seen. The open door looks toward inside is also the pitch-dark piece, almost cannot see what bright. 四周静悄悄的,其他哥布林一个也没看见。敞开的房门往里面望也是黑漆漆一片,几乎看不见什么亮光。 Walks, „King goblin” also while said grinningly: „I lead you to select. Hehehe, other ‚king’ will not lead you to select. Really. Because you paid me the tip, I make an exception.” 一边走,“哥布林国王”还一边笑嘻嘻地说道:“我带你去挑。嘿嘿嘿,其他‘国王’可不会带你去挑。真的。因为你给了我小费,我才破例的。” „Other kings? Your does here have many kings?” “其他国王？你们这里有很多国王？” „Are not many. Must be the king is not an easy matter, must first thoroughly understand the commonly used language. How otherwise to communicate with the slave merchant? Therefore, here only has twenty kings.” “不多。要当国王可不是一件容易的事情,首先得通晓通用语。不然怎么跟奴隶商人沟通呢？所以,我们这里只有二十几个国王而已。” „Eh...... twenty kings? You are earnest?” “额……二十几个国王？你是认真的吗？” „Yes, only has twenty. Specially few, right?” Saying, „King goblin” also a complacent appearance. “是的,只有二十几个。特别少,对吗？”说着,“哥布林国王”还一副洋洋得意的样子。 Jones had felt obviously this „King goblin” said „king”, „king who” oneself told is not a thing. 琼斯已经明显感觉到这位“哥布林国王”说的“国王”,跟自己说的“国王”不是一个东西了。 Thinks, Jones asked: „Can I consult your name?” 想了想,琼斯问道:“我可以请教一下你的名字吗？” „Name? My name was ancient La 。 However the slave merchant did not shout generally my name, they shouted me ‚king’ directly. They said that this is an honored name. I take it as an honor .” “名字？哦,我叫古辣。不过奴隶商人一般都不喊我这个名字,他们都直接喊我‘国王’。他们说这是一种尊贵的称呼。我引以为荣,真的。” Good, truly is not a thing. Jones made clear finally. 好吧,确实不是一个东西。琼斯总算搞清楚了。 „ancient La, I can ask how your here slaves sell? I meant, much money.” “古辣,我能问一下你们这里的奴隶都是怎么卖的吗？我是说,多少钱一个。” „When must look is.” “得看是什么时候。” „When looks is?” “看是什么时候？” „Yes. The fresh child were too sometimes many, cannot raise, we may sell cheaply. Copper coin. Without so many, our prices will be sometimes high.” “是的。有时候生的孩子太多了,养不起,我们可能会便宜卖。一个铜板一个。有时候没那么多,我们的价格会高一点。” „High to how many?” “高到多少？” „Five copper coins.” “五个铜板。” „Five copper coins? Can too be a little cheap?” “五个铜板？会不会有点太便宜了呀？” „Do you feel the small advantage?” ancient gawked spicily, stopped the footsteps: „I can sell.” “你觉得便宜？”古辣愣了一下,停住了脚步:“那我可以卖贵一点。” „No, I am not this meaning. Please continue to guide!” Jones referred to the front hastily. “不,我不是这个意思。请继续带路！”琼斯连忙指了指前方。 ancient burns has doubts is looking at Jones, some little time, turns around to continue. 古辣疑惑地望着琼斯,好一会,才转身继续走。 goblin such cheap? Jones may remember that Heald goblin takes a gold coin. 哥布林这么便宜的吗？琼斯可记得希尔德一个哥布林要一金币呀。 Wait, Heald...... 等等,希尔德…… Good, delivers to the Schilde journey is very far from here. Truly should collect some handling charges. If specially transports, a goblin gold coin possibly also insufficiently pays the transport expense. 好吧,从这里送到希尔德路途也挺远的。确实应该收一些手续费。特别如果还是空运的话,一只哥布林一个金币可能还不够付运费的。 A gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, a silver coin is equal to 100 copper coin. In other words, a gold coin is equal to 1000 copper coin. A gold coin in cheap can buy 1000 goblin...... this cost almost approximately to be equal to zero. 一个金币等于十个银币,一个银币等于一百个铜币。也就是说,一个金币等于一千个铜币。一个金币在便宜的时候可以买一千只哥布林……这成本几乎约等于零了。 „What your here is biggest is who? I meant, your rulers.” “你们这里最大的是谁呢？我是说,你们的统治者。” ancient turned head spicily, as before is doubts of face. 古辣又回过头来了,依旧是一脸的疑惑。 „Power owner?” “权力拥有者？” Had not responded. 没反应。 „The person of formulation law?” “制定法律的人？” Had not responded as before. 依旧没反应。 Jones even suspected that here did have king in the true sense. Properly speaking should have, otherwise they coordinate to construct this city-state? Is always impossible to construct casually, finally became a city-state? 琼斯甚至都怀疑这里有没有真正意义上的国王了。按理说应该有,不然他们是怎么协调建造出这座城邦的呢？总不可能随便建,最终成了一座城邦吧？ However, Jones does not know how to ask. Because opposite party, although can proficiently use the commonly used language, but as if has no concept to the noun. 不过,琼斯已经不知道怎么开口问下去了。因为对方虽然能熟练地使用通用语,但对一些名词似乎并没有什么概念。 Under the ancient spicy leadership, Jones is walking along the goblin city-state, finally arrived at a slightly big point „before house” . 在古辣的带领下,琼斯沿着哥布林城邦一路走着,最终来到了一座稍微大点的“房子”前。 „Arrived, met should not be surprised!” ancient leans the face to smile to Jones spicily fiercely. “到了,一会不要吃惊哟！”古辣侧过脸对着琼斯龇牙咧嘴地笑了笑。 „What can make my surprised?” Jones asked. “能有什么让我吃惊的吗？”琼斯反问道。 „Does not know, but I lead them to come them is very surprised each time.” “不知道,只是我每次带他们来他们都很吃惊。” „They?” “他们？” „With your same slave merchant.” “跟你一样的奴隶商人。” The goblin house does not have the gate from the start, at least overwhelming majorities do not have the gate. ancient brought Jones to walk spicily directly. 哥布林的房子压根就没有门,至少绝大多数是没有门的。古辣带着琼斯直接地就走了进去。 Reveals the hemispheroid room in ground, inside only then a broken short table, two chairs, lame a leg, seems like low cabinet that can fall momentarily, other are some at sixes and sevens junks. 露出地面的半球形屋子,里面只有一张残破的矮桌,两张椅子,一个已经瘸了一条腿,看上去随时都会倾倒的矮柜,其他就是一些乱七八糟的杂物。 goblin lit one groping, only then finger thick flame, then in the opening of tunnel of Jones belt/bring before room corner. 哥布林摸黑点燃了一根只有手指粗的小火把,然后把琼斯带到屋子角落里的一个坑道口前。 Looks at the pitch-dark piece of tunnel, Jones a little hesitated. 看着黑漆漆一片的坑道,琼斯有点犹豫了。 „Can go in?” “要进去吗？” „Naturally, you are not buy the slave?” “当然,你不是来买奴隶的吗？” „Slaves in inside?” “奴隶都在里面？” „Yes.” Under bow body, ancient Lapa. “是的。”躬下身子,古辣爬了进去。 Hesitant, Jones eventually with. 犹豫了一下,琼斯终究还是跟了上去。 goblin must bow, specially is diminutive goblin, your conceivable tunnel had is small. Jones almost must entire lie in the ground crawls to crawl. Dora is also the same. 哥布林都要躬身,特别还是一只矮小的哥布林,你可以想象坑道有多小了。琼斯几乎要整个趴在地面上爬才能爬得过去。朵拉也一样。 In the crowded tunnel, Jones except for the ancient spicy buttocks, anything cannot see, can only follow he to proceed to crawl. 拥挤的坑道里,琼斯除了古辣的屁股,啥都看不见,只能跟着他一路往前爬。 „Why can you sell the slave? Cannot raise sells me to understand, but usually...... five copper coins didn't you feel too few? Five copper coins. I just gave you a gold coin, can buy 200 goblin slaves. Like this how much money do you sell the slave to make?” “你们为什么要卖奴隶呢？养不起的时候卖我可以理解,但平时……五个铜板你们不觉得太少了吗？才五个铜板。我刚刚给了你一个金币,可以买两百个哥布林奴隶。这样你们卖奴隶能赚多少钱？” Has turned head, ancient La is smiling to Jones: „Looks in you are in my share of super client, I speak the truth with you. Actually does not spend money we also to sell.” 回过头,古辣对着琼斯神秘一笑:“看在你是我的大客户的份上,我就跟你说实话吧。其实不用钱我们也会卖。” „?” “呀？” „We are using you. Because here goblin were too many, we must deliver go out, otherwise each corner will be filled with goblin. Outside also is very but dangerous, after all...... you understand, goblin is very frail. Therefore the best way was to sell to the slave merchant works as the slave. This can some people provide food to wrap up! Does not have slave-owner giving up to make the slave die, because is they buys! Simply perfect!” “我们只是在利用你们而已。因为这里的哥布林实在太多了,我们得送一些出去,不然每个角落都会挤满哥布林的。可是外面又很危险,毕竟……你懂的,哥布林很脆弱。所以最好的办法就是卖给奴隶商人当奴隶。这样就可以有人包吃包住了！没有奴隶主会舍得让奴隶死,因为都是他们花钱买来的！简直完美！” „Eh...... we unexpectedly by a side of use?” “额……我们居然是被利用的一方？” „Yes ! Hahahaha!” “是呀,没想到吧！哈哈哈哈！” ancient is smiling spicily happily, Jones smiles awkwardly. The brow of Dora is much more pressed, does not know that should say anything. 古辣高兴地笑着,琼斯则尴尬地笑了笑。朵拉的眉头蹙得紧紧的,已经不知道应该说什么了。 , Jones heard the clamoring sound by far suddenly. It is not one clamors, but is continuous, probably ocean waves same clamoring sound. A glimmer has appeared in the front. 远远的,琼斯忽然听到了喧哗声。不是一阵喧哗,而是持续不断的,好像海浪一样的喧哗声。一点微光已经出现在前方。 Jones anxious. 琼斯一下紧张了起来。 „Arrived!” „Walking” drilled the tunnel in front ancient La, got out of the way. “到了！”“走”在前面的古辣钻出了坑道,走开了。 Crawled the tunnel, Jones saw made his lifetime unforgettable picture. 爬出坑道,琼斯见到了一幅令他毕生难忘的画面。 Huge, can install the place base spaces of next 1000 Serpent City castles? 一个巨大的,能装得下一千座巨蛇城城堡的地底空间？ , This is not the key point. Same place base space Jones had seen , there is nothing to shock. The key is, dense and numerous goblin! Each corner is goblin! 不不不,这不是重点。同样的地底空间琼斯曾经见过,没什么好震撼的。关键是,密密麻麻的哥布林！每一个角落都是哥布林！ At this moment, appears at present, is a goblin vastness. Some how many? Perhaps is 100,000, perhaps is 200,000. In brief innumerable, everywhere is, each corner is. They are kidding around mutually, noisy, pulls...... some to scream, some are shouting. 此时此刻,出现在眼前的,是一个哥布林的汪洋。有多少？也许是十万只,也许是二十万只。总之数不清,到处都是,每一个角落都是。他们互相嬉闹着,吵闹着,拉扯着……有的在尖叫,有的在呼喊。 The present picture, probably a battlefield is the same. 眼前的画面,就好像一个战场一样。 No, the battlefield of human does not have them is so exaggerating. 不,人类的战场都没他们这么夸张。 That noisy sound gathers, blots out the sky, the Jones scalp started to tingle with numbness. 那吵闹的声音聚集在一起,铺天盖地的,琼斯的头皮都开始发麻了。 Opened the eye, he looks dull, held breath cold air. 睁大了眼睛,他呆呆地看着,倒吸了一口凉气。 Standing Dora is also dumbfounded. 站在旁边的朵拉同样目瞪口呆。 Appears is being filled with the goblin place base space at present, is not a spacious place bottom square, but is overlapping. Why will be overlapping? Because of mushroom! 出现在眼前挤满哥布林的地底空间,并不是一个宽敞的地底广场,而是层层叠叠的。为什么会层层叠叠？因为蘑菇！ Yes, mushroom! 是的,蘑菇！ Entered a city beforehand Dora to say goblin ate the earth, then must eat one poisonous mushroom that oneself planted. Jones saw, because of this mushroom, casual is bigger than the Jones Serpent City castle! Some long on flat land, some long on dike, some even hang upside down. In brief, blind several are long. On the mushroom lid of each mushroom is a giant platform, similarly was filled with goblin, some goblin also lay on the mushroom directly gnawed. 进城之前朵拉说过哥布林吃土,然后还得吃自己种植的一种有毒的蘑菇。琼斯一眼就看到了,因为这种蘑菇,随便一个都比琼斯的巨蛇城城堡更大！有的长在平地上,有的长在岩壁上,有的甚至是倒挂的。总之,瞎几把长。每一株蘑菇的蘑菇盖上面就是一个巨大的平台,同样挤满了哥布林,有的哥布林还直接趴在蘑菇上啃了起来。 If before is the moment, some people told the mushroom of Jones goblin planter is so giant, Jones will question how probably such big mushroom could finish eating. But now, Jones will not question. Because this special is a big piece of locust! 如果是片刻之前,有人告诉琼斯哥布林种植的蘑菇如此巨大,琼斯大概会质疑这么大的蘑菇怎么吃得完吧。但现在,琼斯不会质疑了。因为这特么就是一大片的蝗虫！ Therefore, withstand/top is not the house, but is the entrance? 所以,顶上的根本就不是什么房子,而是入口？ „What kind of? How many do you want? The present price is three copper coin one. You want many to be good, selects as you like. Selecting is your!” ancient is grinning spicily said grinningly. “怎么样？你要多少个？现在的价格是三个铜板一个。你要多少都行,随你点。点到了就是你的了！”古辣咧着嘴笑嘻嘻地说道。
