Dim place bottom world. 昏暗的地底世界。 The Adolf form quietly appears in the great mast top end platform. The next quarter, his body leans forward, entire falls down fiercely, then a wisp of blood coughed from the mouth directly, sprinkled place. 阿道夫的身影悄然出现在巨柱顶端的平台上。下一刻,他的身体猛地前倾,整个跌倒在地,然后一缕鲜血直接从口中咳了出来,洒了一地。 The blue dense fog quietly appears in his side. 蓝色迷雾悄然出现在他的身旁。 Adolf is panting for breath layer on layer/heavily, that vision somewhat was blurred, looks the blood that dull oneself cough in the trace that on the flagstone forms. 阿道夫重重地喘息着,那目光都有些迷离了,呆呆地看着自己咳出来的血在石板上形成的纹路。 „I suggested that you stay for a long time in the bloodstone. Otherwise, by your physical condition, possibly could not support for a month.” The blue dense fog said in a soft voice. “我建议你在血晶里呆得久一点。否则,以你的身体状况,可能撑不了一个月了。”蓝色迷雾轻声说道。 Adolf closes the eye, nods gently. 阿道夫闭上眼睛,轻轻点了点头。 The sand of ground gathers rapidly, condensed a walking stick of erectness in his side. Adolf put out a hand to grasp, stood slowly. 地上的沙子迅速汇聚,在他的身旁凝聚出了一根直立的拐杖。阿道夫伸手握了上去,缓缓地站了起来。 „I think that you will reject.” “我以为你会拒绝。” „Answer has attained, my have no reason to refuse......” to lean on the walking stick, Adolf step by step difficultly along surrounding the steps of stone column, walks slowly downward. “答案已经拿到了,我没有理由拒绝……”拄着拐杖,阿道夫一步步艰难地沿着环绕石柱的阶梯,缓缓地往下走。 All around is bloodstones, is glittering the blue glimmer. The person in bloodstone as before as before. 四周都是一个个的血晶,闪烁着蓝色的微光。血晶中的人依旧如故。 „Has answer attained? This surprises me very actually. What is the answer?” “答案已经拿到了？这倒是让我很意外。答案是什么？” „Answer is, is not such that we suspected.” Is walking, Adolf while said exhaustedly: „We almost in concluded from the beginning the rise of lich king is not such that in our surface sees, after all, lich have no reason to fight for human. This is very absurd. Therefore I need to understand. But, the fact seems not such that we think.” “答案就是,不是我们原本猜想的那样。”一边走着,阿道夫一边疲惫地说道:“我们几乎在一开始就断定巫妖王的崛起不是我们表面上看到的那样,毕竟,巫妖没有理由为人类而战。这很荒唐。所以我才需要去了解。可是,事实似乎并不是我们想的那样。” „How is that?” “那是怎么样？” „Is that type that we most do not believe.” “是我们最不相信的那一种。” The blue dense fog was silent, but follows silently in Adolf behind. Walked good one, said in a soft voice: „This with us estimated that the difference is very big.” 蓝色迷雾沉默了,只是默默地跟在阿道夫身后。走了好一段,才轻声说道:“这跟我们预计的,差别很大。” „Very greatly.” “非常大。” „It is not a good news. This means after awakens day arrival, we will not likely be have the support of ordinary human. But their support are important.” “不是个好消息。这意味着苏醒日到来之后,我们将很可能得不到普通人类的支持。而他们的支持至关重要。” „This also possibly is a good news. Means that human might open another civilization, probably initially Klimatia such civilization. The object of this sustenance is not the angel or the devil, but is lich.” “这也可能是个好消息。意味着人类将有可能开启另一种文明,好像当初克里玛莎那样的文明。只是这次寄托的对象不是天使或者恶魔,而是巫妖。” „But reposes as before, not? This is not we want. Even is a bad news. Because has the impractical fantasy, initial Klimatia , did not have the means to condense all strength opening human improvement plans. If not because the strength dispersed, perhaps we do not need these 10,000 years of waiting. You determined that this is the fact?” “可依旧是寄托,不是吗？这不是我们想要的。甚至是一个再糟糕不过的消息。正因为存在不切实际的幻想,当初的克里玛莎,才没办法凝聚所有的力量开启人类改良计划。如果不是因为力量分散了,也许我们不需要这一万年的等待。你确定这就是事实吗？” Is walking step by step, until the center-section of great column, Adolf stops the footsteps. Calmly, is looking at the young girl in bloodstone from afar. 一步步地走着,直到巨柱的中段,阿道夫才停下脚步。静静地,远远地望着血晶中的少女。 „Determination. Although was only Jones me told that but I saw sincerely from his eye. Moreover the view also self consistent method, this explained that very he has not told the lie.......” Hesitant some little time, Adolf aspirates gently, said: „This is very laughable, not? I who you said understand. If during does not have any ray of hope, despairs, human instead can burst out the out of the ordinary strength. If Savior, then everyone will count on the Savior, in the end...... the strength passes with the time 1 0.1 drops, until vanishes thoroughly. True desperate arrival. On continent almost all human are celebrating a birth of Savior, but we think actually only then worried. If he is a Savior, what we are?” “确定。虽然只是琼斯跟我说的,但我从他的眼睛里看到了真诚。而且说法也十分自洽,这说明他没有说假话。只是……”犹豫了好一会,阿道夫才轻轻吐了口气,说道:“这很可笑,不是吗？你说的我都明白。如果没有任何一丝希望,绝望之中,人类反而能迸发出非比寻常的力量。而如果有一位救世主,那么所有人就都会去指望救世主,到头来……力量随着时间一点一滴地流逝,直到彻底消失。真正的绝望降临。大陆上几乎所有人类都在庆祝一位救世主的诞生,而我们想到的却只有担忧。如果他是救世主,我们又是什么呢？” „Our anything is not.” The blue dense fog replied in a soft voice. “我们什么也不是。”蓝色迷雾轻声答道。 „Yes, if he is the Savior, then our anything is not. The Klimatia history had been cancelled, human our legends, they will not have listened our. They will only believe their white bones Saint light Holy Synod, believes the lich king, and justice of lich king. If that is the false justice, instead is favorable for us. At least we can reveal it. What a pity is real.” “是的,如果他是救世主的话,那么我们就什么都不是。克里玛莎的历史早就被抹去,人类没有我们的传说,他们不会听我们的。他们只会信仰他们的白骨圣光教廷,信仰巫妖王,以及巫妖王的正义。如果那是虚假的正义,反而对我们有利。至少我们可以揭穿它。可惜是真实的。” Saying, Adolf was starting to walk gently the footsteps. 说着,阿道夫轻轻迈开了脚步。 The fine sand of under foot one such as previously such, swiftly condensed Shaqiao, holds under his foot. 脚下的细沙一如先前那样,迅速凝聚成了沙桥,托在他的脚底下。 „Perhaps we should find the way to prevent him, at least prevents him to grasp all human. Now north continent has not been under his control.” “也许我们应该想办法阻止他,至少阻止他掌握所有人类。现在大陆北方还没有在他的控制之下。” Proceeds step by step, Adolf then said: „I am very weak. Moreover lich king lich, was not I copes. They were too powerful, is almost equal to the Celts potential surface not to have the holy spirit heaven influence, or does not have the Demon Lord hell influence. Before them, I even concealing the strength of status do not have.” 一步步往前走,阿道夫接着说道:“我已经很虚弱了。而且巫妖王身边的巫妖,不是我对付得了的。他们太强大了,几乎等同于凯尔特斯位面上没有圣灵的天堂势力,或者没有魔主的地狱势力。在他们面前,我甚至连掩饰自己身份的力量都没有。” Before arrived at the bloodstone of young girl in the past same stops the footsteps as before, but this time perhaps is because the physical condition does not permit, perhaps because of other anything reason, coughed lightly two, Adolf had not stayed for a long time then turns around to leave very much, moved toward own bloodstone. 依旧是如同往常一样走到少女的血晶前停下脚步,不过这次或许是因为身体状况不允许,或许是因为其他什么原因,轻咳了两声,阿道夫并没有停留很久便转身离开了,走向了属于自己的血晶。 „You thought that the lich king can support the human improvement plan?” The blue dense fog pursues asks. “你觉得巫妖王有可能支持人类改良计划吗？”蓝色迷雾追问道。 „No evidence suggested that he has to the hope of strength, does not have any evidence suggested that he to promoting the strength of human has the idea. The answer we remained unknown. If wants to know, we can only tell him the truth. But, to us the risk was too so big. At least should not be now, should not decide by me......” “没有证据表明他有对力量的渴望,也没有任何证据表明他对提升人类的力量有想法。答案我们无从得知。如果想知道,我们只能告诉他真相。可那样,对我们来说风险太大了。至少不应该是现在,也不应该由我来决定……” Before arriving at own bloodstone, Adolf has turned around. 来到自己的血晶前,阿道夫转过身。 The bloodstone swung the ripple, he closed the eye, bit by bit lay down. 血晶荡开了波纹,他闭上眼睛,一点一点地躺了进去。 „I understood.” The blue dense fog replied in a soft voice. “我明白了。”蓝色迷雾轻声答道。 „Helps me relate the blood group senior statesman meeting. Who I have clarified to investigate my am, is Adair. Young master of that Sambo. His anything has not checked, oneself actually made one pile of trouble. Because I killed four blood groups. You make the blood group senior statesman help me handle this matter.” “帮我联系一下血族元老会。我已经弄清楚调查我的是谁了,是亚岱尔。那个萨姆博家的少爷。他什么都还没查到,自己却惹上了一堆麻烦。因为我杀了四个血族。你让血族元老会帮我处理好这件事。” „Since his what has not checked, why can also process?” “既然他什么都没查到,为什么还要处理呢？” „This is I complies with Jones, is he tells me the condition of truth. He with the young master of Sambo is a friend. Helps me process, do not leave behind any issue. Originally should look for the blood group senior statesman meeting by me directly, but my body was unable to withstand for successive two times the space magic. Helps me process......” “这是我答应琼斯的,也是他告诉我真相的条件。他跟萨姆博家的少爷是朋友。帮我处理好,不要留下任何问题。本来应该由我直接去找血族元老会的,但我的身体已经无法承受连续两次空间魔法了。帮我处理好……” „Good.” “好的。” „Thanks.” “谢谢。” The Adolf face submerged in the bloodstone finally, the entire bloodstone solidified rapidly. 阿道夫的脸庞最终没入了血晶之中,整个血晶迅速凝固了。 In base space, replied the original silence. Deep, as if swallows all silence sufficiently. 地底空间里,又是回复了原本的寂静。深沉,仿佛足以吞噬一切的寂静。 ...... …… After Adolf walks, the life of Jones is the reply is also usual. 阿道夫走后,琼斯的生活又是回复如常。 Naturally, actually this word, uses on Jones „as usual” now is not quite appropriate. After all his daily develops the territory, this means that every day is new day, has the progress every day, is progressing. 当然,其实“如常”这个词,现在用在琼斯身上已经不太合适了。毕竟他的日常就是开拓领地,这就意味着,每一天都是新的一天,每一天都有进度,都在进步。 „Must become the master of money rather than the slave.” These words Jones is the approval, but first, is rich not? “要成为金钱的主人而非奴隶。”这句话琼斯是认同的,但首先,还是得有钱不是吗？ Obtains the compliance of Adolf, Jones announced that next day gives the dwarves free body of refinery. During the entire territory joyfully celebrates in one piece. 得到阿道夫的应允,琼斯第二天就宣布给予提炼厂的矮人们自由身。整个领地处于一片欢庆之中。 „Thank you, our respectable feudal lord Sirs. We with the action will show your decision is correct. Wish the war-god to bless you!” The dwarf leader silver hammer of refinery shook the hand of Jones to kiss kissed, kissing/betrothal Jones somewhat was embarrassed. “感谢您,我们尊敬的领主大人。我们将用行动证明您的决定是正确的。愿战神祝福您！”提炼厂的矮人首领银锤握着琼斯的手亲了又亲,亲得琼斯都有些不好意思了。 „I am me to do. So long as everyone works well, we can certainly construct this stretch of territory.” “我只是做我应该做的而已。只要大家好好工作,我们一定可以将这片领地建设起来。” The stand the high place, the silver hammer was saying to the dwarves loudly: „Heard? Must work well, repays our feudal lord Sirs. We could not have gone back the dwarf mountain valley, from now on, here is our families/home! We live the generation here!” 站到高处,银锤对着矮人们高声说道:“都听到了吗？要好好工作,报答我们的领主大人。我们已经回不去矮人山谷了,从今往后,这里就是我们的家！我们将世代在这里生活！” The dwarves cheered in abundance. 矮人们纷纷欢呼了起来。 The cask stands to Jones winks. 酒桶站在旁边对琼斯一个劲地挤眉弄眼。 „What's wrong?” Jones asked. “怎么啦？”琼斯问。 „How do you make the boss in this refinery agree to give back to the slave free body?” “你是怎么让这个提炼厂的老板同意还给奴隶自由身的？” „Discussed with him.” “就跟他商量。” „Discussed? Can this matter discuss passes?” Blurry of cask face. “商量？这种事情能商量得通吗？”酒桶一脸的迷糊。 Jones does intentionally smiles mystically, replies: „Naturally can, if especially the boss in refinery is in my situation.” 琼斯故作神秘地笑了笑,答道:“当然能了,特别是如果提炼厂的老板是我的情况下。” „Is the boss in refinery you?” The cask was shocked. “提炼厂的老板是你？”酒桶都惊呆了。 „Not only the boss in refinery is I, I also had certain fund. Also many, I will not at least be short of money in the future. Perhaps I should immediately the debt all.” Saying, Jones looks at the silver hammer that is eloquent to side: „Truly speaking, he will speak compared with you . I like his point.” “不只提炼厂的老板是我,我还有了一定的资金。还不少,至少未来一段时间我都不缺钱了。也许我应该立即把债全还了。”说着,琼斯望向旁边口若悬河的银锤:“说实在的,他比你会说话,真的。我更喜欢他一点。” „.” The cask flips the supercilious look. “切。”酒桶翻了翻白眼。 „Now, making us cheer for our respectable feudal lords together! He is the friends of our dwarf, is different from other blood groups! Has a good and brilliance heart!” Stands shouts in the silver hammer of high place. “现在,让我们一起为我们尊敬的领主阁下欢呼吧！他是我们矮人的朋友,不同于其他的血族！有着一颗善良而光辉的心！”站在高处的银锤喊道。 All of a sudden, the dwarves shouted crazily. Dwarf including refinery, including gold ore dwarf. They invade, throws Jones to the high place. 一下子,矮人们都疯狂呼喊了起来。包括提炼厂的矮人,也包括金矿的矮人。他们蜂拥而上,将琼斯抛向高处。 ...... …… To be honest, has so much money all of a sudden, the heart of Jones is a little empty. In the special surface seems like, he has not paid in anything's situation. 老实说,一下子拥有这么多钱,琼斯的心还是有点虚的。特别表面上看起来,他并没有付出什么的情况下。 The considering everything, obtains the territory to start from him, on income 20,000 gold coins. More specifically, only gained 1000 gold coins. Because 18,000 are the costs, 1000 are the Adair profits. 1000 gold coins, just enough pays the interest of bank. 满打满算,从他获得领地开始,也就进账了两万金币。更准确地说,只赚了一千金币。因为有一万八是成本,有一千是亚岱尔的利润。一千金币,也就刚好够付银行的利息而已。 However, he truly received so much money. One turned over/stood up, turned into one blood group feudal lord of small scale. 然而,他就是确确实实拿到这么多钱了。一下翻身,变成了一个中小规模的血族领主。 Completed the arrangement of territory, the Jones first matter brought Dora to go to Schilde. First pays off all debts to the bank completely. 完成了领地的安排,琼斯第一件事就是带着朵拉前往希尔德。首先到银行把所有的债务全部还清。 Two the bank bills of 10,000 gold coin face values pat on the table, opposite goblin teller eyes were about to fall. 两张一万金币面值的银行票据拍在桌上,对面的地精柜员眼睛都快掉下来了。 „From now on, I no longer owed you money. Troublesome quickly, I have other things.” Jones said unemotionally. “从今往后,我就不再欠你们钱了。麻烦快一点,我还有其他事情。”琼斯面无表情地说道。 „Good, Young Master Jones, this handles for you.” The goblin teller receives hastily the bill, after a while, brought back giving change of 9200 gold coins. “好的,琼斯少爷,这就为您办理。”地精柜员连忙将票据收起来,过了一会,又拿回了九千两百个金币的找零。 Good bank bill also 1000 gold coin, otherwise Jones has really not known how to bring to go back. 还好银行票据也有一千个金币一张的,否则琼斯还真不知道怎么带回去呢。 Left the bank swaggering, Jones arrived at the Adair castle, gave the bank bills of Adair 100,000 gold coins. 大摇大摆地离开了银行,琼斯又来到了亚岱尔的城堡,交给了亚岱尔十万金币的银行票据。 „I have seen Adolf, he said that your matter, he will solve.” “我见过阿道夫了,他说你的事情,他会解决。” „Have you seen him? When?” “你见过他了？什么时候？” „After at night the day before yesterday you left, he looked for me. Actually you have not left him to arrive, but has not made an appearance.” “前天晚上你离开之后,他就来找我了。其实你还没离开他就到了,只是没露面而已。” „He knows that is I am checking him?” “那他知道是我在查他咯？” „Yes. However you do not need to be worried.” Jones is smiling replying. “是的。不过你不用担心。”琼斯微笑着答道。 Adair took up the bank bill on table to look at one silently, especially the inscription of bank of issue: „Jones, are we brothers?” 亚岱尔拿起桌上的银行票据默默地看了一眼,特别是发行银行的落款:“琼斯,我们还是兄弟吗？” „Naturally yes, why did you ask?” “当然是,你为什么这么问？” „If so, why you rather owe the Adolf money, isn't willing to owe my money?” “如果是的话,为什么你宁愿欠阿道夫的钱,也不愿意欠我的钱呢？” Jones gawked, is smiling replying: „I have not owed him money, these money were my.” 琼斯愣了一下,微笑着答道:“我没有欠他钱,这些钱是我的了。” Adair looks at Jones halfly believing and half doubting. 亚岱尔将信将疑地看着琼斯。 „We are the brothers, please relax.” Jones smiles was saying: „Adolf matter do not check again, had passed. He will help you solve your problem. He complies my.” “我们还是兄弟,请放心。”琼斯微笑着说道:“阿道夫的事情你就不要再查了,已经过去了。他会帮你解决你的问题。他答应我的。” „Actually is he who?” “他究竟是什么人？” „I don't know either, I thought that I do not need to know. His goal is my foster father. Moreover, seems not hostile. He wants to confirm some well-known things.” “我也不知道,我觉得我没必要知道。他的目标是我的养父。而且,似乎并不是敌对的。他只是想确认一些众所周知的事情而已。” Hesitant, Adair nods finally, shakes the bank bill in hand saying: „These I first receive, if you have the need, said one to me. We are the brothers, if makes me know that you rather lend money with others, does not lend money with me, I can not be unhappy. After all, I can help you have money.” 犹豫着,亚岱尔最终还是点了点头,晃了晃手中的银行票据说道:“这些我先收起来,如果你有需要,跟我说一声。我们是兄弟,如果让我知道你宁愿跟别人借钱,也不跟我借钱,我会不开心的。毕竟,我能帮到你的也只有钱了。” „Good.” Jones nods. “好的。”琼斯点了点头。 ...... …… Goes out of the Adair castle time, Jones thought suddenly the air of the whole world was fresh. Incomparable freshness. 走出亚岱尔的城堡的时候,琼斯忽然觉得整个世界的空气都清新了。无比的清新。 Actually Adolf is, he could not guess correctly completely, what relations but there is? 阿道夫究竟是什么人,他完全猜不到,但有什么关系呢？ That is the world of great person. Who no matter he is, the world of person can throw 500,000 gold coins conveniently, has no relations with him. He is only a young feudal lord, without the Gray such lofty goal, only wants to manage well own territory. 那是大人物的世界。不管他是什么人,能随手一丢五十万金币的人的世界,都跟他没什么关系。他只是一个小领主而已,没有格雷那样远大的目标,只想管好自己的领地。 Even if he does not have the favorable impression to the slavery, he will still only liberate in the territory, own slave, but will not inquire about others. 即便他对奴隶制度不抱有好感,他也只会解放自己领地上,属于自己的奴隶,而不会去过问其他人。 Yes, he is such a person, in the hand is grasping more than 200,000 gold coins, stretch of own territories, one group of own subjects, although is a dwarf, but he is very happy. 是的,他就是这么一个人,手里握着二十几万金币,有一片属于自己的领地,有一群自己的臣民,虽然是矮人,但他已经很开心了。 „...... I did not feel slave who I should buy other races.” “唔……我觉得我应该去买一些其他种族的奴隶。” „Why can particularly emphasize ‚other races slaves’? Sir Jones.” “为什么要特别强调‘其他种族的奴隶’呢？琼斯大人。” „You had not discovered that our entire territory is a dwarf?” “你没发现我们整个领地都是矮人吗？” „Zombie.” “还有僵尸。” „Ok, these zombies. They do not even have the means to communicate with us normally. If I think to buy any slave. Elf? Probably was too expensive, 200,000 gold coins could not buy several. goblin? Ok, this first elimination, I have not come out of the shadow of goblin kingdom to the present. Perhaps the blood group and goblin slave can be a good choice...... naturally, must after finding the new profitable business.” “算了吧,那些僵尸。他们甚至没办法跟我们正常沟通。我要想想买些什么奴隶。精灵？好像太贵了,二十万金币也买不了几个。哥布林？算了吧,这个第一个排除,我到现在还没走出哥布林王国的阴影。也许血族和地精奴隶会是个不错的选择……当然,得是在找到新的赚钱生意之后。” The round trip flies, Jones talked on endlessly to keep. Dora calmly follows in side, listening. 一路往回飞,琼斯一路叨叨个不停。朵拉就在旁边静静地跟着,听着。 „Hey, silver hammer! Today is the refinery normal?” “嘿,银锤！今天提炼厂还正常吗？” „All normal! Should tomorrow be able to start the starts operation!” “一切正常！应该明天就可以开始正式运作了！” „Cask! Today is the mine tunnel normal?” “酒桶！今天矿坑还正常吗？” „What can have is not normal? You walk has just now asked that now I just awake. Night we do not mine, only if you increase the manpower to us.” “能有什么不正常呢？你走的时候才刚问过,现在我刚睡醒。夜里我们并不采矿,除非你给我们增加人手。” „......” “哦……” „Right, the letter/believes your, has placed on the table of your study room.” “对了,有一封信给你的,已经放在你书房的桌上了。” „Good.” “好的。” Kicked the wing, Jones brings Dora to fall in the balcony in oneself study room, melted the human form, entered the study room. 扑腾着翅膀,琼斯带着朵拉落到了自己书房的阳台上,化出人形,走进了书房。 „Who can be writes to me?” “会是谁给我写信了呢？” Jones took up excitedly placed the correspondence on table, disassembled. 琼斯兴奋地拿起了放在桌上的信函,拆开。 „Jones Dracula, hello. We received your father Sir Dracula Count seeking help about your new territory. Actually our not too clear Count Dracula and between you had anything, but we reminded your one, before you were grown, Count Dracula as your guardian, had the foster duty to you, had to the right to control of all properties you had. Heard that in your territory has Hydra? We in the present, according to Count Dracula request, will receive you west the territory in mountain range edge situated in the Colin peninsula. Inscription, dark night deacon meeting.” “琼斯・德拉库拉,您好。我们接到了您父亲德拉库拉伯爵大人关于您新领地的求助。我们不太清楚德拉库拉伯爵与你之间究竟发生了什么,但我们提醒您一句,在您成年之前,德拉库拉伯爵作为您的监护人,对您负有抚养义务,同时也拥有对您所拥有的一切财产的支配权。听说您的领地上有一头九头蛇？我们将在近日,按照德拉库拉伯爵的请求,接收您位于科林半岛西部山脉边缘的领地。落款,暗夜执事会。” Looks, Jones stared in a big way the eye, the entire expression stiffened. 看完,琼斯瞪大了眼睛,整个表情都僵住了。
