The business has not discussed, a Amanda face is discouraged. 生意没有谈成,阿曼达一脸泄气。 The family/home that several people leave Chad, Amanda takes that gold coin, said: „Your excellency, was sorry very, this transaction failed. This is your deposit, receives.” 几人离开查德的家,阿曼达将那枚金币拿出来,说道:“阁下,十分抱歉,这次的交易失败了。这是你的订金,请问收回去。” Beta beckons with the hand saying: „Is only this failure, I believe that you should have other good caravans to introduce to me.” 贝塔摆手说道:“只是这次的失败而已,我相信你应该还有其它的好商队可以介绍给我。” Amanda has thought the meeting, then received the gold coin, then said: „Really also has other choices, but their black tail scorpion caravan is not good. If your excellency currently has the time, we can go to the next caravan immediately and they discuss.” 阿曼达想了会,便将金币收了回去,然后说道:“确实还有其它的选择,但他们并没有黑尾蝎商队那么好。如果阁下现在有时间的话,我们立刻可以去下一家商队和他们洽谈一下。” A gold coin, regarding Beta, are not many, but regarding Amanda such common people female, was actually a good money. 一枚金币,对于贝塔来说,并不多,但对于阿曼达这样的平民女子来说,却是一笔大钱了。 Beta hears word nod approval. Although Amanda had not explained that own status, he can look, this young girl absolutely is one of the city local bullies. If not this, she could not have these many information, if were not this, she was impossible to treat in the chamber of commerce. 贝塔闻言点头赞同。虽然阿曼达没有说明自己的身份,他看得出来,这个少女绝对是这座城市的地头蛇之一。如果不是这样,她就掌握不了这么多的情报,如果不是这样,她就不可能待在商会中。 Although the chamber of commerce was suppressed very seriously, but came to a stop in this city after all the foot, if no a skill, early was swallowed by other noble. 虽然商会被打压得很严重,但毕竟还是在这座城市里站稳了脚,如果没有点本事,早被其它贵族吞了。 Arrives at the new city, seeks for the help of local bully, is the natural matter. 来到新的城市,寻找地头蛇的帮助,是再自然不过的事情。 Amanda shows a faint smile, in the heart to the decision of Beta is very satisfied. Although she said that she is only a young teller, displays very likely friendly Merchant. But in this time, a little skill Merchant, its back a little influence. If Beta dares to take back that gold coin, then, she can guarantee, Beta in this city, to do a business, absolutely is not an easy matter. 阿曼达微微一笑,心中对贝塔的决定很满意。虽然她说自己只是个小柜员,也表现得很像个和气的商人。但在这个时代,有点本事的商人,其背后都有点势力。如果贝塔敢收回那枚金币,那么,她敢保证,贝塔在这座城市中,要想做点生意,绝对不是件容易的事情。 Then, several people look at the caravan that three have treated the purchase, but was a pity very much, is not Beta cannot have a liking for others, either is the opposite party cannot have a liking for Beta. Many caravans are the same with Chad, hope after being purchased, can still have the authority that the decision caravan will move toward in the future. Said simply, they want to draw ‚wind to throw’ fund. 接下来,几人又去看了三家待收购的商队,但是很可惜,不是贝塔看不上别人,要么就是对方看不上贝塔。很多商队都和查德一样,希望在被收购之后,依然能拥有决定商队未来走向的权力。说得简单点,他们只是想拉个‘风投’资金而已。 Beta actually does not want like this, what he wants is one can obey itself to order to carry on the trade the caravan that. After all is newly-built a city, needs to arrive at many commodities, some commodities, are impossible to make money. If Beta not enough authority, when the time comes the stewards of caravan once is not willing such to do, then definitely will affect the construction progress of city. 只是贝塔却不想这样,他要的是一支能听从自己命令进行贸易的商队。毕竟新建一座城市,需要到很多的物资,有些物资,是不可能赚钱的。如果贝塔没有足够的权威,到时候商队的管事一旦不愿意这么做,那么势必会影响到城市的建造进度。 Beta does not want to seize by the throat in this aspect. 贝塔不想在这方面被人掐着脖子。 After looking for several continually, Amanda gave up, this time she took the gold coin wholeheartedly, said: „Sorry, it seems like that this time business did not have the means to be completed. Your excellency, this gold coin gives back to you.” 连找几家之后,阿曼达都放弃了,这次她真心实意地把金币拿了出来,说道:“抱歉,看来这次的生意真的是没有办法完成了。阁下,这枚金币就还给你吧。” Beta still beckoned with the hand: „Does not need to be polite, you led us to walk for day, should be also tired, this was the laborious fee/spent.” 贝塔依然摆了摆手:“不必客气,你带着我们走了一天,应该也累了,这就算是辛苦费吧。” The Amanda not tender sentiment, she receives the gold coin, then asked: „What idea does your excellency then have?” 阿曼达也不娇情,她将金币收起来,然后问道:“阁下接下来有什么想法？” „Since purchases inadequately, then I constructed a caravan to be good.” Beta asked to Amanda: „Woman you, since is having a lot of human resources, how then help me?” “既然收购不成,那么我自己建个商队好了。”贝塔向阿曼达问道:“女士你既然掌握着很多人力资源,那么就帮我个忙如何？” The Amanda eye has shone, she asked hurriedly: „Your excellency wants to make me help to find the person, then establishes the caravan?” 阿曼达眼睛亮了起来,她急忙问道:“阁下是想让我帮找人,然后把商队建立起来？” „Right.” “对。” „Does not have the issue. But this need some quite many expenses.” Amanda smiles likely is a deceitful female fox: „Your excellency should also understand, because caravan must run around outside, needs many talented people, needs to look after the matter in aspects. Ordinary caravan janitors quite look, but has the special skill talented person is very rare.” “没有问题。但这需要些比较多的费用。”阿曼达笑得像是一只狡诈的雌狐狸:“阁下也应该明白,商队因为要在外面四处奔波,需要很多的人才,需要照顾到方方面面的事情。普通的商队杂役好找,但拥有特殊技能的人才却很少见。” Amanda wants to seize the chance to collect some expenses, she can look, at present this Sir noble, is very generous person. 阿曼达想趁机多收些费用,她看得出来,眼前这位贵族大人,是位很慷慨的人。 The behavior that if the average person, seizes the chance to increase price regarding Amanda like this, must argue strongly based on reason. But regarding the player, can spend money the matter that solves, is not the issue. Beta has held up a finger: „You help me establish a qualified caravan, and population cannot be less than 50 people, if you have completed, you will obtain ten gold coins as the reward.” 若是普通人,对于阿曼达这样趁机加价的行为,根本要据理力争。但对于玩家来说,能用钱解决的事情,都不是问题。贝塔举起了一根手指头:“你帮我建立支合格的商队,并且人数不能少于50人,如果你办成了,你会得到十枚金币作为酬劳。” The Amanda body has shaken, then she shouts saying: „ Your excellency, this matter gives me. „ 阿曼达身体抖了一下,然后她大喊说道:“阁下,这事就交给我吧。“ Beta has shown the satisfactory expression. Then he and Merchant young girl separates from each other, Amanda has the work very much *, she directly the person who starts to look for these to suit to become roaming business, but Beta returned to the hotel. 贝塔露出了满意的表情。而后他和商人少女分道扬镳,阿曼达很有工作*,她直接开始去找那些适合成为游商的人,而贝塔则回到了旅馆中。 Establishes matter that the caravan is not in one single day can become, Beta , etc. has the patience extremely, he is bringing Shirley and Jessica strolls daily in the city, gives two young girls to buy the pretty clothes while convenient. 建立商队并不是一朝一夕就能成的事情,贝塔等得极有耐心,他天天带着雪莉和杰西卡在城市中闲逛,顺便给两个少女买漂亮的衣服。 Such several days later, these are responsible for monitoring the Beta informers, are getting fewer and fewer. Their behind people as if have thought that Beta is very normal noble, comes the goal in city, to establish a caravan. 这样子几天下来,那些负责监视着贝塔的眼线们,则越来越少。他们身后的人似乎已经认为贝塔是个很正常的贵族,是来城中的目的,就是为了建立一支商队。 Regarding such situation, Beta naturally is glad, after all no one hopes own time with one pile of flies. 对于这样的情形,贝塔自然是很乐意的,毕竟谁也不希望自己的身后时刻跟着一堆苍蝇。 On this day he is bringing Shirley and Jessica strolls on the street, returns to the hotel, has had the supper is just about to rest the time, actually on the waiter comes to report: „Your excellency, outside has a person to look for you, said that has very important matter to need with you, when spoke face-to-face.” 这天他带着雪莉和洁西卡在街上闲逛完,回到旅馆中,吃过晚餐正要休息的时候,却有一个侍者上前来禀告:“阁下,外面有个人找你,说是有很重要的事情需要和你当面谈。” „Such quickly constructed, that made her come.” “这么快就建完了,那就让她进来吧。” Beta also thinks that was Amanda has established a caravan, in happy time, actually saw that a middle-aged person walked, his hair was completely white, Beta looks to thinking is very familiar, but has hesitated two seconds of time, who he recognized this person finally is: „The steward of black tail scorpion caravan, Chad, how you turned into this appearance.” 贝塔还以为是阿曼达已经建立起了一支商队,正在开心的时候,却看到一个中年人走了过来,他的头发已经全部白完,贝塔看着对觉得很是熟悉,但迟疑了两秒钟的时候,他终于认出这人是谁了:“黑尾蝎商队的管事,查德,你怎么变成这模样了。” Several days ago, Beta sees Chad time, although the latter does not have what wealth, an appearance of going down in the world, but he still also has permits some the vigor, looks person who is also has the aspiration, but is only does not see for several days, this time Chad is actually an appearance of beggar . Moreover the complexion became loses with is numb. 几天前,贝塔见到查德的时候,虽然后者已经算是没有什么钱财,一幅落魄的模样,但他依然还有许些精气神在,看着也算是个有抱负的人,但只是短短几天不见,此时的查德却是一幅乞丐的模样,而且脸色变得更失落和麻木了。 „It is not the important matter, was somewhat was tired recently.” Chad has smiled bitterly and astringently under: „My this time, wants to ask your excellency to help, our black tail scorpion purchasing.” “也不是什么大事,就是最近有些累。”查德苦涩地笑了下:“我这次来,是想请阁下帮忙,把我们黑尾蝎给收购了吧。” Beta somewhat felt strange: „, Why changed mind suddenly?” 贝塔有些奇怪:“哦,为什么突然间改变主意了？” „Could not insist quickly!” Chad said reluctantly: „Now our money are getting fewer and fewer, maintains our caravan most basic livelihood is very difficult.” “快坚持不下去了！”查德无奈地说道:“现在我们的钱越来越少,维持我们商队最基本的生活都已经很困难。” Beta asked the opposite party to sit down, then asked: „Why chooses me? Moreover your excellency whether is willing to resign the command jurisdiction of caravan?” 贝塔请对方坐下,然后问道:“为什么选择我？而且阁下是否愿意让出商队的指挥权？” On face that Chad experienced hardship to the full, is bringing bitterly and astringently: „Does not have the issue. If possible, whether your excellency can sign the contract as soon as possible, my caravan members, were about unable to support.” 查德饱经风霜的脸上,带着苦涩:“没有问题。如果可以的话,阁下是否可以尽快签定合约,我的商队成员们,已经快撑不下去了。” Beta has thought the meeting, said: „I asked Amanda to help me look for the manpower a short time ago, establishes a new caravan.” 贝塔想了会,说道:“我前不久已经拜托阿曼达帮我物色人手,建立一支新的商队。” Hears this saying, Chad's complexion changes. 听到这话,查德的脸色一变。 Beta continues to say slowly: „Therefore I must consider, whether must purchase you. From the common sense, purchases a caravan to be quite quick directly, moreover easy to make money immediately, but Amanda moved now for several days, my impossible midway to break a promise, otherwise this is not good to my prestige.” 贝塔缓缓地继续说道:“所以我得考虑一下,是否要收购你们。从常理上来说,直接收购一支商队比较快,而且容易立刻就能赚到钱,只是现在阿曼达已经行动数天了,我不可能中途毁约,否则这对我的信誉不好。” „That had the work your excellency, I two days later listens to your idea again.” “那就有劳阁下了,我两天后再来听听你的想法。” After four minutes, Beta stands near the window, gazes after below Chad to leave gradually. Shirley in the one side, somewhat strangely asked: „Why the master does not promise him, now the black tail scorpion should be Harway in the city the most competent caravan. Purchases their words directly, truly is favorable for us, moreover our newly-built caravan, can weave them, uses their experiences, comes out our new caravan belts.” 四分钟后,贝塔站在窗户边,目送着下方的查德渐渐离开。雪莉在一旁,有些奇怪地问道:“为什么主人不答应他,现在黑尾蝎应该是哈韦啊城中最有实力的商队了吧。直接收购他们的话,确实对我们有利,而且就算我们新建商队,也能把他们编进其中,利用他们的经验,把我们的新商队带出来。” Beta said: „Matter is not simple, I thought that Chad changed the mind for several days, the matter definitely had the strangeness. I make Jeanne ask Amanda, having a look at her to be able she not to find out anything.” 贝塔却说道:“事情没有那么简单,我觉得查德短短几天就改变了主意,事情肯定有古怪。我让贞德去问问阿曼达,看看她能不她查出些什么。” Jeanne will speak, flight speed is also quick, truly is the expert of contact. 贞德会说话,飞行速度又快,确实是联络的好手。 Passed for quite a while, Oman appear in the hotel. She saw that Beta on shouted the sound lightly: „Your excellency likes dispatching the person, sought for the manpower of caravan to be very laborious for you, unexpectedly also wanted me to help you eavesdrop on the information.” 过了半天,阿曼家出现在旅馆中。她一见到贝塔就轻呼了声:“阁下真爱差遣人呢,为你寻找商队的人手已经很辛苦了,居然还要我帮你探听情报。” Beta sprang a gold coin, Amanda received radiantly. 贝塔弹出一枚金币,阿曼达眉开眼笑地接过。 In fact, Beta likes being together with Amanda such person very much, although the opposite party loves money very much, may have the moral integrity and bottom line very much, so long as disbursed money, the matter helps you complete. Has to do with such person, the far ratio must has to do to be much more comfortable with other noble or Class Holder. 事实上,贝塔很喜欢和阿曼达这样的人相处,虽然对方很爱钱,可很有节操和底线,只要出了钱,事情就帮你做好。与这样的人打交道,远比要与其它贵族或者职业者打交道舒服得多。 „Chad had met recently troublesome.” Amanda some have smiled taking pleasure in others' misfortunes: „noble settled on his caravan, but that noble so is not good to speak like your excellency. The purchase fee/spent that the opposite party leaves is not only very low, but also ordered Chad to all authorities hand over, otherwise he will think the means to expel the caravan Chad.” “查德最近遇到了麻烦。”阿曼达有些幸灾乐祸地笑了起来:“一个贵族看中了他的商队,但那个贵族并不像阁下这么好说话。对方出的收购费不但很低,而且还勒令查德必须把所有的权力都交出来,否则他会想办法把查德赶出商队。” Beta silent a meeting: „In other words, Chad is planned that source of trouble lead to the east, let me with that noble upfront resistance, guaranteed his caravan? The idea hits good.” 贝塔沉默了一会:“也就是说,查德是打算祸水东引了,让我和那个贵族正面对抗,把他的商队保下来？主意打得挺不错的呢。” Amanda peak peak fragrant shoulder, did not speak lovably. Every so often, bumps into two influences to be soon hostile, the best lifestyle, does not talk too much, do not mix on own initiative with the battles of two sides, will stay out. 阿曼达可爱地耸耸香肩,不说话。很多时候,碰到两个势力即将敌对,最好的生存方式,就是不多嘴,也别主动掺与两方的争斗,将自己置身事外。 Shirley in the side hear, actually appears very indignant, even if the whole face results in the scowl, she still appears very beautiful moving: „Master, or we teach Chad one, unexpectedly the thoughts are so dirty.” 雪莉在旁边听完,却显得很气愤,即使是满脸得怒容,她依然显得十分美丽动人:“主人,要不我们去教训查德一顿吧,居然心思这么龌龊。” „Does not need us to begin.” Beta has smiled under: „That wants to purchase his noble, naturally can make him have to offend to receive.” “不用我们动手。”贝塔笑了下:“那个想收购他的贵族,自然会让他有得罪受。” noble really one by one astute, Chad wants to play such method between two noble unexpectedly, really brings about own destruction. In Oman heart so is thinking, on the face actually smiles expresses best wishes to leave to Beta, she must continue to help Beta form the caravan, the time is very tight. 贵族果然一个比一个精明,查德居然想在两个贵族间玩这样的手段,真是自寻死路。阿曼家心中如此想着,脸上却微笑地向贝塔致意离开,她还得继续帮贝塔组建商队,时间很紧迫。 Two days later, Chad came, he passes through the gate anticipated that asked: „How did your excellency consider?” 两天后,查德过来了,他进门就期待地问道:“阁下考虑得怎么样了？” Beta lowers the head, is making magic scroll, as if to Chad's visiting not any interest, even somewhat approached in the impoliteness, he said: „Sorry, Chad, my newly-built caravan, the fund somewhat was recently scarce, is unable to purchase your caravan.” 贝塔低着头,做着魔法卷轴,似乎对查德的来访没有任何兴趣,甚至已经有些接近于无礼,他说道:“抱歉,查德阁下,我新建一支商队,最近资金有些紧缺,无法收购你的商队了。” As soon as Chad listens to this saying, complexion immediately becomes ugly.( To be continued.) 查德一听这话,脸色立刻就变得难看起来。(未完待续。)
