Beta, thencontinued saying: „Sizosaid,isyouhireshimto copeour, youcanexplain how thisis a matter?”贝塔顿了顿,然后继续说道:“西索说,是你雇佣他来对付我们的,你可以解释一下这是怎么一回事吗?”Sitsonothersfamily'sseat of honor, is liftingone leg on the other, bit by bitattractivelyresults inShirley that does not make sense, Betathishistrionics, seeslikelyis the playboys of bignoble, has neither learning nor skill. ButClaudeactuallydoes not dareto despise, inhissurfaceis very calm, in maybe careful is actually to scold.
坐在别人家里的主位上,跷着二郎腿,身后还着着一个漂亮得不像话的雪莉,贝塔这作派,怎么看都像是个大贵族家的纨绔子弟,不学无术。可克劳德却不敢小看,他表面上很镇定,可实际上心里却是骂开了。Hesimplyhas not thought,oneselfwill be betrayedbySizo, moreoverwhatis most important, the opposite partyquicklyhas walked unexpectedly such, thisenables his preparationnot to have.
他根本没有想到,自己会被西索出卖,而且最重要的是,对方居然这么快就找上门来了,这使得他一点准备也没有。Althoughin the innermost feelingsis very anxious, butinhissurface is still quitecalm. Heleads the nobleuniquegentlemanto smile saying: „Excuse me, althoughIknow that whoSizois, butIhave not hadanythingto associatewithhim. Ifmustsay, has metat the severalmonths ago partiesactually.”
虽然内心中很紧张,但他表面上依然还是相当镇定。他带着贵族特有的绅士微笑说道:“不好意思,虽然我知道西索是谁,但我从来没有和他有过什么交往。如果非要说的话,倒是在几个月前的晚会上见过一面。”„WhatactuallySizosaid does not matter.” A quill pen that on tabletopBetaholds appreciativelysaid: „Ithought that was you are good.”
“其实西索说的是不是真的无所谓。”贝塔把玩的桌面上的一支鹅毛笔说道:“我觉得是你就行了。”„Your excellencysaid that thissayingtoodoes not reason with.”Claudehas gawked, then the face darkensaid: „Couldn't the law in thisBronzedrum Cityrestrainyou?”
“阁下说这话太不讲理了吧。”克劳德愣了一下,而后脸色阴沉地说道:“难道这铜鼓城中的法律也约束不了你?”„The Bronzedrum Citylawcan certainlyrestrainme, Idid not plan that makesanythingtoyou.”
“铜鼓城的法律当然能约束得了我,我又不打算对你做什么。”Hearsthissaying, Clauderelaxed.
听到这话,克劳德松了口气。Buthas not thought that Betaactuallysuddenlyoldgodinsaying: „Icaninquire, underyour excellencyfamilyhasanyindustry. If the storeand so on, possiblya long timecannot start doing business. If the mineralsand so on, transportationon the way ofmassivelywill possibly be the victim. Aboutthis, whatview does your excellencyhave?”
但没有想到,贝塔却突然老神在在的说道:“不过我可以打听一下,阁下家族底下有什么产业。如果是商铺之类的,可能很长一段时间开不了业。如果是矿产之类的,运输的途中可能会大量失窃。关于这点,阁下有什么看法?”Looks atBetathatsuperficialexpression, Claudethinksaggrievedlyawfully. Thistrulyisamongnoble the commonly usedprocedure, but the opposite partylike thisdid not ask the reason, did not ask the reason, evenwith an excuse of nouveau riche, directlyhad no consideration for facewithhim. Suchprocedure, is very arbitrary, actually is also the kingly way.
看着贝塔那轻描淡写的表情,克劳德却觉得憋屈地要命。这确实是贵族间常用的做法,但对方这样子不问原因,不问理由,甚至只是凭着一个暴发户的说辞,就直接与他撕破脸。这样的做法,很蛮横,却也是很王道。Heclenched teeth saying: „Your excellencyis is truly mindless. Do youbelieve the Sizostatement of only one of the parties?”
他咬了咬牙说道:“阁下确实是很不讲理。你就听信西索的一面之辞?”„Indifferent.”Betaputs downquill pen that in the handholds appreciatively, the bodyslightlyleans forward, smilesevilly, has other peoplenooppressionstrength of: „Those words, Ibelievedon the line!”
“无所谓。”贝塔放下手中把玩的鹅毛笔,身子微微前倾,邪邪地笑着,却有着一股旁人没有的压迫力:“还是那句话,我信就行了!”Claudesuch as the fallingicehole, hehas not thought that oneselfwill meet such hard to deal withpersonunexpectedly. Hethinks that the opposite partyis a foreign family, after arriving atBronzedrum City, even if the influenceis big , the plate the nest, after allhereis beingHollevinstrongestSpearmaster, otheraccurateLegendary Levelpowerhouse, Greentondomain.克劳德如坠冰窟,他从来没有想过,自己居然会遇上这么难缠的人。他本以为对方是个外来户,来到铜鼓城后,即使势力再大,也得盘着窝着,毕竟这里是霍莱汶最强枪术师,准传奇级别强者,格林顿的地盘。Moreoverhehas the self-confidencevery much, canconvinceGreentontwonot to help.
而且他很有自信,能说服格林顿两不相帮。Claudesimplyhas not thought,Greentontwodo not help , because hedid not think that Betawill lose.
只是克劳德根本没有想到,格林顿两不相帮,是因为他根本不觉得贝塔会输。Whatmorality and conductChild of Goldis, whatenergyhad, Greentonhas understoodveryclearlyin the dreamland. Actuallyinhisinnermost feelingshopesvery muchcanbecomeBetaKnights of the Round Table, but the Family Lordresponsibilityis fetteringhim, enablinghimnot to have the meansto let loose the matter that the hands and feetmakes itself to handle.黄金之子是什么样的德行,有什么样的能量,格林顿在梦境中已经了解得很清楚了。其实他内心中很希望能成为贝塔的圆桌骑士,只是家主的责任在束缚着他,使得他没有办法放开手脚做自己想做的事情。Claudehas the self-confidencevery much, he thought that so long asGreentondoes not make a move, hemustcope withmain the little fellow who came from outside area, is not the easymatter.克劳德很有自信,他觉得只要格林顿不出手,他要对付主个从外地来的小家伙,还不是轻而易举的事情。Hehas not thought,thisforeign familysois unexpectedly hard to deal with, sodoes not press the common senseto play a card.
只是他没有想到,这个外来户居然如此难缠,如此不按常理出牌。Hecalmlyis standing, looks atBeta, in the eyehaspermitssometo be angry, but more ashamedfeeling of actuallybeing a self-respecttrampled.
他静静地站着,看着贝塔,眼中有着许些恼怒,但更多的却是一种自尊被人践踏的羞耻感。„Ifyoudid not speak, weheard.”Betahas stood.
“如果你不说话,我们就直闻。”贝塔站了起来。„Wait/Etc.!”Claudealmostjumpsfrom the gap between teeththesetwocharacters. Hisangerendures patientlyin the heart, thenhedifficultlysaid: „Howyoumustbe willingto uncoverthismatter.”
“等等!”克劳德几乎是从牙缝中蹦出这两个字。他的愤怒在心中忍耐,而后他艰难地说道:“你要怎么样才肯把这事揭过去。”„Reason!”Betasaidlightly: „Imustknowfirst why youmusttoourTemple, ourmaterialsourcesbegin.”
“理由!”贝塔淡淡地说道:“我要先知道,为什么你要对我们神殿,还有我们的材料来源动手。”„Because ofbenefit.”
“因为利益。”Betaturns aroundto walk, has not spokenagain.贝塔转身就走,没有再说话。„Wait/Etc.!”Claudeis right now anxious.
“等等!”这下子克劳德急了。Betahas turned round, having the unquestionabletone saying: „Youralsoopportunity, if the answersatisfiesme, thenIthink that the quickdenseto subdue|gramsFamilywill turn into the poor wretchfamily.”贝塔回过身,带着不容置疑的语气说道:“你还有一次机会,如果答案让我不满意,那么我想很快密克家族就会变成穷光蛋家族。”
The Claudecomplexionis very splendid, all kinds ofmoodfluctuateonhisface, finallyheas ifold over ten years old general, saidreluctantly: „IamDestiny Goddessbeliever. NowBronzedrum Citydoes not haveotherbeliefstemporarily, butyoumustconstructTemplehere...... Therefore.”克劳德的脸色很精彩,各种各样的情绪都在他的脸上变幻,最后他仿佛老了十多岁一般,无奈地说道:“我是命运女神的信徒。现在铜鼓城暂时没有其它信仰,但你们要在这里建神殿……所以。”„Originallyissuch a matter.”Betanods: „It looks like youto the belief of Destiny Goddess, isinsufficient. Is related toownbenefit, decisivegoddessselling. Whatonetemperamentit seems likeyouresult in not toocleargods are really.”
“原来是这么回事。”贝塔点点头:“不过看来你对命运女神的信仰,还是不够啊。事关自家的利益,就果断把女神给卖了。看来你真得不太清楚神明是什么样的一种脾气。”„Whatmeaning is yourthissaying?”Claudewas somewhat anxious.
“你这话是什么意思?”克劳德有些急了。„Does not havewhatmeaning.”Betasmiled: „Asbeliever of god, becauseactually the benefitbetrays the god. IfyouareformidableClass Holder, perhaps the godswill turn a blind eye, butyouare onlynoble. Even iftheydo not punishyoupersonally, whentheyhave free time, naturallycangiveyouto criticize.”
“没有什么意思。”贝塔笑了:“身为神的信徒,却因为利益出卖神。如果你是强大的职业者,或许神明会睁一只眼闭一只眼,但你只是一个贵族。就算他们不亲自惩罚你,等到他们有空的时候,自然会给你清算。”Claudehas not smiledcomfortablyunder: „Your excellencylikescracking a joke.”克劳德不自在地笑了下:“阁下真爱开玩笑。”„Cracks a joke, youpassed the upsidetimeto know.”Betashakes the head: „Tomorrowyoudeliverto compensate the slumto come...... Concretemanygold coinlook at the office. Naturally, ifyouthought that is not convinced, canlook formegreatly, Ithenand that's the end. If the nexttimerevengefailure, the consequenceis not the presentsowill be simple.”
“是不是开玩笑,你过上段时间就知道了。”贝塔摇摇头:“明天你送些赔偿到贫民窟来吧……具体多少金币自己看着办。当然,如果你觉得不服气的话,大可以来找我,我接着就是了。只是下一次如果复仇失败,后果可不就会是现在这么简单。”Claudehas not spoken, hefelt that in the threat of Betaleadspermitssomemurderous aura.克劳德没有说话,他感觉到贝塔的威胁中带着许些杀气。Betahehesmiles, is bringingobviouscontemptuous, lefthere.贝塔呵呵一笑,带着明显的轻蔑,离开了这里。
After Betawalks, Claudeunties the coat, throwstoward the ground...... Helived for dozensyears, has not triedsuchto be a scapegoat. Even if more than 20years ago, heoffendedsomegreat person, apologizedbut actually the apologytime, has not triedto be so uncomfortable.
等贝塔走后,克劳德解开外衣,往地上一扔……他活了几十年,从来没有试过这么受气的时候。就算是20多年前,他得罪了某个大人物,赔礼倒歉的时候,也没有试过这么难受。Hewas breathing heavilysame placeseveraltones, at this timehad the guardto regain consciousness, runs over, in a terrified wayis just aboutto question, his wingpalm of the handpulls outruthlessly, hits the corners of the mouthhemorrhagethatguarddirectly, buthispalmis also tingling with numbness.
他在原地喘了几口气,这时候已经有护卫苏醒了,其中一个跑过来,惶恐地正要问话,他翅狠狠一巴掌抽过去,直接把那个护卫打得嘴角出血,而他自己的手掌也在发麻。Betadoes not know after Claude, whatfeelingwill have, hedoes not wantto know.贝塔并不知道克劳德之后会有什么样的感受,他也不想知道。
Also long in game the time of heandnoblehas to do, at firsthealsoplannedsolves the problemin the way of exchange, butafterwardhediscovered. The exchangesimplydoes not haveanyusetonoble that thesekeep aloof, theydo not likeyounot liking, but the only means that hitthemdocile.
在游戏中他和贵族打交道的时间也挺长,起先他也是打算以交流的方式解决问题的,但后来他发现。交流对那些高高在上的贵族们根本没有任何用处,他们不喜欢你就是不喜欢,而唯一的办法,就是把他们打得服服帖帖。Thisworldmost generalcriterion, firstismoney, second is the violence.
这世界最通用的准则,第一是金钱,第二便是暴力。Hereturns to the slum, happen toseesSizoto bring the gift of apologizing, in the Zorrofamily/home.
他回到贫民窟,正好看到西索带着赔罪的礼物,正待在佐罗的家中。Betacalledownseveralstudents, toldthem, tomorrowallcontinue.贝塔召集了自己的几个学生,告诉他们,明天一切继续。AfterwardhethenletsJeanne in emphasis the trend that inskypays attention toClaude, so as to avoidthisfellowbecomes angry out of shame, enterssurfaceplanfight in which both sides perish.
随后他便让贞德在天空中重点注意克劳德家的动向,免得这家伙恼羞成怒,进面打算鱼死网破。But the reality showed that Claude the Betaimagination is much timider. AlthoughBetawas greatly noisy the denseto subdue|gramsFamily the matterto spreadinBronzedrum City, manypeoplesecretlywere laughing athim, butheactuallystillpretendedanythingnot to occur.
但现实证明,克劳德要比贝塔想像中的更胆小得多。虽然贝塔大闹密克家族的事情在铜鼓城传开了,很多人都在暗地里笑话他,可他却依然装作什么也没有发生。To a certain extent, person who ‚enduring’results , is also a talented person.
某种程度上,‘忍’得的人,也算是一种人才。
The followingdaydoes not have the place that anythingcanrecordactually. The construction of slumis continuingday-by-day, the sewerdigs, the flagstonespreads out the alley, twomonthsthenpassed byall of a sudden.
接下来的日子倒是没有什么可以记述的地方。贫民窟的建设一天天在继续,下水道挖好,石板铺上小路,一下子两个月便过去了。Once the slumgreatlychanged, the streetbecameclean, moreover after the wet weather, cannot the sewagecrossflow. The sewerarrangedinthesesewageselsewherecreekdirectly.
曾经贫民窟大变样,街道变得干净,而且下雨天后,再也不会污水横流。下水道直接将那些污水排到了别处的小河中。Changestrulyin a big way, is the person in slum. Becausesomepeopleare helpingBetaworkevery household, grainenoughwhole family who threeorfivecopper cashes, buyate to the full, more than 50%surplus. Thereforenowinslumlooksis more energetic, no longeristwomonths ago thatis hungry the malnutritioncondition.
真正变化最大的,便是贫民窟中的人。因为每家每户都有人在帮贝塔干活,三枚或者五枚的铜币,买来的粮食足够一家人吃得饱饱的,还有一半以上的剩余。因此现在贫民窟中的看着都精神了许多,不再是两个月前那幅饿得营养不良的状态。Thesepopulation not manyfamilies, evencanbe left overmanycopper cashes, buysseveralmanyclothesfor the family member. The gloomyslum, all of a suddenwere manysomebrightcolorsto come out.
那些人口不多的家族,甚至能存下不少的铜币,给家人买几件好些的衣服。原本灰暗的贫民窟,一下子就多了些鲜艳的颜色出来。ButBetaalsothereforeharvested the massivepeopleto look. After theselaborswork, matter that mostlikes, is andBetaseveralstudentschats.
而贝塔也因此收获了大量的人望。那些劳工们干完活后,最喜欢的事情,便是和贝塔的几个学生聊天。Because is also the poverty-strickenfamiliesfamily background, thereforeseveralstudentsandthesepoorcanchatvery muchcome, thesepoortoare willingto workSirCleric who theydoarefill with feel grateful, thenunderflattering of studentssincerity, the Betapersonlooks, has been the quitehighdegreein the slumdirectly.
因为也是穷苦人家出身,所以几个学生和那些贫民们很能聊得来,本来这些贫民对愿意给工作他们干的神官大人已经是满怀感激了,然后又在学生们真心的吹捧之下,贝塔的人望,在贫民窟中直接达到了相当高的程度。Ifwith the gameterminology, were the prestigearrived at‚respect’, was not farfrom the worship.
如果用游戏术语,便是声望到达了‘尊敬’,离崇拜已经不远。
After constructing the sewerandpath in slum, Betathenstarted to constructTemple.
建好了贫民窟中的下水道和道路后,贝塔便开始着手要建造神殿了。BecausethisBetahasa lot ofmoney . Moreover the placeis also bigenough, thereforeheplanned that constructsatmosphericsomeTemple. Did not strive forbeing also luxurious, butat leastmustlookin a big wayenough...... The areais big, highly is also then enough.
因为这一次贝塔有很多钱,而且地方也足够大,所以他打算把神殿建得大气一些。不求有又奢华,但至少要看着够大……占地面积要大,然后高度也要足够。Will begintime...... Greentondispatches the personto come, said that askedhimto go to a City Lordmansionto chat, attended the evening banquetwhile convenient.
正要开工的时候……格林顿遣人过来,说请他去城主府一叙,顺便参加晚宴。BetanaturallytakesShirleyto feast.贝塔自然带上雪莉去赴宴。Theyonesteparrives at the conference sitefirst, the time of becauseto the evening banquetstartingalsoearly, Betathensitsin the Greentonstudy room, twopeopleare very relaxedare chattingat will.
他们先一步到达会场,因为离晚宴开始的时间还早,贝塔便坐在格林顿的书房中,两个人很轻松随意地聊着。„Nowtwomonthspassed by.”SomeGreentonworriessaid: „ButyourTemplehas not constructed, in one month, can otherTemplepeopledefinitely a comingnative of Latvia, what to dowhen the time comesyou?”
“现在两个月已经过去了。”格林顿有些担心地说道:“但你的神殿都还没有建起来,再过一个月,其它神殿的人肯定会过来拉人,到时候你怎么办?”„Theycamenot to matter, becausetheywanted certainly the superiorityto do missionary workto the noblesocial stratum.”Betasmiles: „Thenis the ordinary citizensocial stratum, Ihaveenoughtimeto constructTemple, then slummost people, transformsWaukeen Goddessbeliever.”
“他们来了也无所谓,因为他们肯定要优势向贵族阶层传教。”贝塔笑笑:“然后是普通市民阶层,我有足够的时间把神殿建好,然后再把贫民窟的大部分人,转化成渥金女神的信徒。”
Speaking of Waukeen Goddess, Greentoncould not bearlook atShirley.
说到渥金女神,格林顿又忍不住看了一眼雪莉。Betadoes not wantto discusstopicagainaboutWaukeen Goddess, his thread of conversationrevolution, asked: „Laterevening banquet, isanysubject.”贝塔不想再谈关于渥金女神的话题,他话锋一转,问道:“待会的晚宴,是什么主题。”„Alice170 th birthday.” The Greentontonesighedreally: „Shegrew upfinally.”
“爱丽丝170岁生日。”格林顿语气甚是感叹:“她终于成年了。”Betais speechlessimmediately.贝塔顿时无语。
