Davos listens attentively carefully, finally nods saying: „In the next executive council, the words that you speak time will become the important basis of tax rate discussion.” 戴弗斯仔细倾听,最终点头说道:“在下一次的行政会议上,你所说的话将成为税率讨论的重要依据。” „Also discussed that anything...... your majesty you decide simply directly it.” Mersis whispered. “还讨论什么……陛下您干脆直接把它定下来。”梅尔西斯嘀咕了一句。 Davos just likes has not heard, after seeing he spoke that words, spiritual dispirited, therefore concerned saying: „You rest well, I will visit you next time again!” 戴弗斯恍若未闻,见他说完那番话之后,精神更加萎靡,于是关切的说道:“你好好的休息吧,我下次再来探望你！” „Your majesty, your not many dull meeting?! Perhaps you will come...... unable to see next time again I......” Mersis tone low and deep and whispered. “陛下,你不多呆一会？！你下次再来……恐怕就见不到我了……”梅尔西斯语气低沉的又嘀咕了一句。 Davos hears here, in the heart acid, just wants to comfort his several, listens to Mersis to say in a soft voice: „ Does your majesty, you still remember our 1st meeting situations?...... You just invented the smoked sausage at that time, temporarily after solving the military provisions storage issue of mercenaries...... I know, immediately on the whereabouts Meno request, you must arrive at my military baggage team...... I still to remember that night you told the buried treasure story...... to have your help to us, that was I marches to feel when Persia the most relaxed time...... I felt like at that time you will become a extraordinary character...... , therefore Meno and you clashed, I firmly stand this side you...... 戴弗斯听到这里,心中一酸,刚想安慰他几句,就听梅尔西斯轻声说道:“陛下,您还记得我们第一次见面的情形吗？……那时候您刚刚发明了熏肠,暂时解决了雇佣军的军粮储存问题……我知道之后,立刻就去向梅农要求,将您要到了我的辎重队……我还记得那天晚上您给我们讲宝藏的故事……有您的帮助,那是我在波斯境内行军感到最轻松的一次……我当时就隐隐觉得您将会成为一个了不起的人物……所以当梅农和您发生冲突时,我坚定地站在了您这一边…… Now proves my choice correctly how!...... My a bankrupt small-scale merchant from Ionia, became the finance minister in western Mediterranean most powerful kingdom finally unexpectedly, is grasping tens of thousands of wealth, this is what kind of luck! I have nothing regrettably...... ” 现在证明我的选择是多么的正确！……我一个来自爱欧尼亚的破产小商人,最终竟然成了西地中海最强大王国的财务大臣,掌握着数以万计的财富,这是何等的幸运！我已经没有什么遗憾了……” The Davos hear Mersis these words, do not know for a while unexpectedly should say anything, said reluctantly with a smile: „Actually you said is not right, before I was adjusted the military baggage team, you have also seen my one time...... at that time, I take a walk to the military baggage camp, finally was met by you, you suspected me, because the hunger wants to come larceny food, but also makes the guard expel me especially.” 戴弗斯听完梅尔西斯的这一番话,一时竟不知该说什么,勉强笑着说道:“其实你说的不对,在我被调到辎重队之前,你还见过我一次……当时,我散步到辎重营地,结果被你碰见,你怀疑我因为饥饿想来偷窃食物,还特地让护卫将我赶走。” „Actually this matter, my point did not have the impression!” Mersis surprised stares the big eye, immediately smiled: „Pitifully I know now, otherwise I to Antonios and Hielos they will often boast that...... said I am only one have reproven your majesty your person!” “竟然还有这事,我一点都没有印象！”梅尔西斯吃惊的瞪大眼睛,随即笑了起来:“可惜我现在才知道,否则我会经常向安东尼奥斯、希洛斯他们吹嘘……说我是唯一一个训斥过陛下您的人！” „I am also think now, will otherwise you cross in several years hand/subordinate such with ease in me?!” Davos also teased with a smile. “我也是现在才想起来,否则这十几年你在我手下会过得这么轻松？！”戴弗斯也笑着打趣道。 Usually serious and earnest Martius also showed the smile. 就连平时严肃认真的马尔提乌斯也露出了笑容。 Listens to them to tell the past events in nearby Henie Breese, felt that from this laughter the strong ally friendship, in the heart somewhat envied and yearned. 在一旁的赫尼布里斯听着他们诉说往事,从这笑声中感觉到彼此间深厚的战友情谊,心中不免有些羡慕和向往。 „Your majesty.” The smile on Mersis face has not eliminated, his sinking sound said: „After I die, I must contribute most properties to the kingdom......” “陛下。”梅尔西斯脸上的笑容还未消去,他沉声说道:“待我死后,我要将大部分的财产都捐献给王国……” „, Does your miser also give up unexpectedly?!” Davos has the smile to ridicule saying that thinks he is cracking a joke. “哦,你这吝啬鬼居然也舍得？！”戴弗斯带着微笑揶揄道,以为他在开玩笑。 „I am earnest, this is my will! I must contribute 80 heritages to the kingdom, only keeps 20 to provide for the family member!” “我是认真的,这是我的遗嘱！我要将80的遗产捐献给王国,只留20供养家人！” Davos sees the Mersis serious facial expression, at once also restrains the smile, the sinking sound asks: „Do you really give up?!” 戴弗斯看到梅尔西斯严肃的神情,旋即也收敛起笑容,沉声问道:“你真的舍得？！” „I also do not have the child, has...... Mersis that anything does not give up” to mutter, somewhat absent-minded: „Kingdom of Theonia is your majesty you leads us to establish laboriously, said that but can actually be our children......” “我又没有孩子,有什么舍不得的……”梅尔西斯喃喃说着,有些失神:“戴奥尼亚王国是陛下您带领我们辛辛苦苦建立起来的,说起来倒可以算是我们的孩子……” Davos hears this saying, in the heart somewhat is quite affected, he sits in the bedside, is patting the Mersis swollen hand, saying with emotions: „I represent the kingdom to thank your generous!” 戴弗斯听到这话,心中颇有些感动,他坐在床边,轻拍着梅尔西斯浮肿的手,动情的说道:“我代表王国感谢你的慷慨！” „Your majesty, I donates these money...... whether to trade a statue...... to enter the temple...... the Mersis following words to make Davos for me” stare, immediately cannot help laughing: This is the Mersis true colors! “陛下,我捐献这些钱……能否为我换得一尊雕像……进驻先贤祠……”梅尔西斯接下来的话让戴弗斯一愣,随即哑然失笑:这才是梅尔西斯的本色！ Davos subconscious wants first to reprove his: Enters the qualifications of temple is not the commodity, can bargain back and forth!...... 戴弗斯下意识的想先训斥他一顿:进驻先贤祠的资格可不是商品,能够讨价还价！…… But sees the Mersis pale complexion and vision of Greek wing, in the Davos heart one soft, said directly: „Even if you do not contribute these properties, you in the past did for the kingdom the great contribution that can still make you hassle-free has the qualifications of entering the temple. Moreover, I also prepare to set up your statue in front of finance department, making the later finance department officials probably take you each Obold who as an example, must stint the kingdom, cannot waste, cannot embezzle!” 但看到梅尔西斯苍白的脸色和希翼的目光,戴弗斯心中一软,直接说道:“即使你不捐献这些财产,你以往为王国所做的巨大贡献也能让你毫无争议的拥有进入先贤祠的资格。不仅如此,我还准备在财务部的门前树立你的雕像,让以后的财务部官员都要以你为榜样,要吝惜王国的每一个奥波尔,决不能浪费,更不能贪污！” „Thanks your majesty...... to thank your majesty......” at that moment, in the Mersis soulless eye shed tears of pollution...... “谢谢陛下……谢谢陛下……”那一刻,梅尔西斯无神的眼中流出了浑浊的眼泪…… Cornelius that goes out of the Mersis mansion, Davos cannot bear stop to look, remembers several years ago passed away, will remember will go to Elysium Mersis momentarily, his will be sad: In the past followed him to found the Theonia heroes together is gradually marching into the life the last years...... 走出梅尔西斯的府邸,戴弗斯忍不住驻足回望,想起几年前逝世的科尔内鲁斯,想起随时都会前往爱丽舍的梅尔西斯,他的心情很是沉重:当年跟随他一起创建戴奥尼亚的功臣们一个个正在逐渐的步入生命的末年…… He is just thinking, one then happen to sees Martius that stands straightly, but his gray beard demonstrated his age, in the heart sighed: „Martius, you were also old......” 他正想着,一回头正好看见笔挺站立的马尔提乌斯,但他花白的胡须展示了他的年纪,心中更是感叹:“马尔提乌斯,你也老了……” „Your majesty, I can easily defeat the young guard as before! Can be your guard as before!” Martius energetic reply. “陛下,我依旧可以轻松的战胜年轻的卫兵！依旧可以担任你的护卫！”马尔提乌斯有力的回答。 „Good...... good......” Davos subconscious tracing beard, then said to Henie Polis: „A moment ago I to the words that Mersis spoke, did you remember?” “好……好……”戴弗斯下意识的摸了摸胡须,然后对赫尼波里斯说道:“刚才我对梅尔西斯说的话,你都记住了吗？” Henie Polis replies immediately: „Remembered, making Sir Mersis enter the temple, in finance department for his standing erect statue.” 赫尼波里斯立刻回答:“记住了,让梅尔西斯大人进驻先贤祠,在财务部为他竖立雕像。” „Un, goes back to draft a proposal, perhaps how long held discussions...... Mersis unable to insist in the next executive council as soon as possible......” the Davos long sigh. “嗯,回去草拟一个提案,尽快在下一次行政会议上就进行讨论……梅尔西斯恐怕坚持不了多久啦……”戴弗斯长长的叹息了一声。 ............................................. ……………………………………… These, Thurii suddenly presented a rumor on the: The Etruscan envoy requests reinforcements to the kingdom, simultaneously in view of the fact that the Iberia southern areas border receives making a harassing attack of aborigines frequently, King Davos prepares to agree that ministers' proposition, sends one and two regiments to go to the Iberia south border and Etruscan north border respectively, builds the fort, defends the attack of aborigines.
