#327: More than 300 the years do not have City Lord


Gill felt oneself saw a lunatic. 格吉尔感觉自己看到了一个疯子。 If plans to construct city on the swamp, is the matter of dream of a fool, then the wetland completely transformation is the plain, that is the matter that the lunatic can handle. 如果说打算在沼泽上建城,已经是痴人说梦的事情,那么将湿地全部改造为平原,那更是疯子才会做的事情。 Wetland area about 1000 square kilometers, even if formidable spellcaster, to transform the plain the swamp of such wide scope, is nearly impossible matter. If this matter, only then minority spellcaster do, the time of then costing, at least over over a hundred years, if employs massive spellcaster to help, then consumes gold coin that then must be able ten thousand to calculate. 湿地面积大约有1000平方公里,就算是强大的施法者,要想将这么大范围的沼泽改造成平原,也是件近乎不可能的事情。如果这事只有少数的施法者来做,那么耗费的时间,至少得上百年以上,如果雇用大量的施法者来帮忙,那么耗费的的金币,则必须得以万来计算。 Only if the strength of collection nation, otherwise wants to transform the plain the wetland completely, only if there is a miracle to appear. 除非集全国之力,否则想将湿地完全改造成平原,除非有神迹出现。 But young noble, said unexpectedly must turn into the plain the swamp, this too exaggerates. 而一个年轻贵族,居然说要把沼泽变成平原,这实在是太夸张。 Gill pacifies with great difficulty oneself mentality, he asked: Your excellency, since must construct a city, that needs many stone materials surely. Does not know that has the interest and I cooperates, I can be below the price that the market folds, supplies the high-quality stone material to give you massively.” 格吉尔好不容易才将自己的心态平伏下来,他问道:“阁下既然要兴建一座城市,那必定需要很多的石材吧。不知道有没有兴趣和我合作,我可以以低于市面一折的价格,大量供应优质石材给你。” This is Gill the real intention that Beta invited. Originally wants to come in Gill, Beta such noble, after obtaining fief together, even if wetland such environment, uses magic, solidifies a scrap the domain, constructs a castle, does not have the issue. 这才是格吉尔把贝塔请过来的真正意图。原来在格吉尔想来,贝塔这样的贵族,得到一块领地后,就算是湿地这样的环境,利用魔法,固化一小块的地盘,建座城堡,还是没有问题的。 Since must construct the castle, that then needs the massive stone materials, Harway city anything are not many, is the stone material are many. 既然要建城堡,那便需要大量的石材,哈韦啊城什么都不多,就是石材多。 Just raised the family, although in Harway in the city is also extremely rich noble, but Gill did not dislike gains again, money thing, no person will dislike many. 刚提家族虽然在哈韦啊城中也算是极富有的贵族,但格吉尔并不反感再多赚些,钱这东西,从来没有人会嫌多。 But he has not thought, the Beta intention constructs a city on the swamp unexpectedly. 但他没有想到,贝塔居然意图在沼泽上建一座城。 Regardless of opposite party idea is feasible, is crazy, Gill saw the greatly single business. Even if the city cannot construct, so long as begins construction, that can need the extremely numerous stone materials surely, that is representing gold coins. 无论对方这主意可行不可行,疯狂不疯狂,格吉尔从中看到了大单的生意。就算城市建不起来,只要动工,那必定会需要极多的石材,那就代表着一枚枚的金币。 Beta hears this saying, is quite interested, although said that is lower than a market price booklet, but quantity were many, then can save the massive gold coins. Now the gold brick in Beta space only has half, is used to construct the place city is not enough, he not only need open, but must reduce expenses, otherwise the city has not constructed, oneself will definitely turn into the poor wretch. 贝塔听到这话,也颇有兴趣,虽然说只是低于市面价格一折,但数量多了,便能省出大量的金币来。况且现在贝塔空间中的金砖只有一半了,用来建座城是远远不够的,他不但要开源,还得节流,否则城没有建起来,自己肯定就会变成穷光蛋。 About this matter, after my caravan establishes, can chat in detail.” Beta complies, then somewhat curiously asked: I had discovered a moment ago, City Lord not quite can as if be friendly in this banquet.” “关于这事,等我的商队建立起来后,可以详细谈谈。”贝塔答应下来,然后有些好奇地问道:“我刚才就发现了,城主似乎不太融得进这次宴会中啊。” He, is always like this. This person of anything has not said.” Gill said with a smile slightly. “他啊,一向都是这样子。这人没有什么好说的。”格吉尔微微笑道。 Beta sees Gill's expression to be somewhat strange, knows that he is not willing to say at this matter, then has not closely examined. Then Gill introduced several noble give him to know, Beta and they have pulled after the period of time, was bringing Shirley and Jessica two people returns to the hotel. 贝塔见格吉尔的表情有些奇怪,知道他不愿意在这事上多说,便没有追问下去。而后格吉尔介绍了几个贵族给他认识,贝塔和他们扯了一阵子后,便带着雪莉洁西卡两人回旅馆了。 On the carriage, Jessica pats the abdomen that the drum rose, a face satisfies. 马车上,洁西卡拍了拍鼓涨的小肚子,一脸满足。 As once beggar, Jessica to eating the thing is interested. Before she ate little , because she feared that she ate the master poorly, therefore has been enduring the appetite, now some people ask her to eat the thing to the banquet, she will not miss such an opportunity of overeating. 作为曾经的乞丐,洁西卡对吃的东西非常感兴趣。以前她吃得少,是因为她怕自己把主人吃穷了,所以一直忍着食欲,现在有人请她到宴会中吃东西,她自己不会错过这么一次大吃特吃的机会。 But Shirley sits in the Beta side, somewhat strangely said: A moment ago I and these women of high station chatted for a long time, then discovered that they despise to City Lord very much, once for a while will speak his malicious remarks, but I cannot ask that reason, their matter to the City Lord, as if keeps one's mouth shut, does not know what's the matter.” 雪莉则是坐在贝塔的身边,有些奇怪地说道:“刚才我和那些贵妇人聊了许久,然后发现她们对城主很是鄙视,时不时会说他的坏话,但我却问不出原因,她们对城主的事情,似乎守口如瓶,也不知道怎么回事。” I also discovered.” Beta nods: Gill is also this.” “我也发现了。”贝塔点点头:“格吉尔亦是这样。” Shirley somewhat was worried: Can look, the influence of this city is divided somewhat seems to be strange, does not know that can affect our plan.” 雪莉有些担心:“看得出来,这座城市的势力分成似乎有些奇怪,也不知道会不会影响到我们的计划。” „The matter about City Lord, we can find the person to ask.” Beta shows a faint smile: For example, Amanda.” “关于城主的事情,我们可以找人问问。”贝塔微微一笑:“比如说,阿曼达。” Next noon, Amanda routine comes the hotel to report the caravan to recruit the progress to Beta. 第二天中午,阿曼达例行前来旅馆向贝塔汇报商队招募进度。 She is wearing the white cotton-padded jacket, although could not see the curve of body, but also has one type tenderly to be possible gruffly the flavor of person. 她身穿着白色的棉衣,虽然已经看不到身体的曲线,但却也有一种娇憨可人的味道。 After Beta hear report, asking her to sit down, said: Last night I attended banquet, then I discover a very strange matter. This by most has City Lord of power and influence as Harway, at the banquet as if is actually unpopular. Nobody is willing to speak with him, does not have the woman to ask him to dance. The people have being hostile to of disdaining to him, I think very curious, you know anything.” 贝塔听完报告后,请她坐下,说道:“昨晚我去参加了宴会,然后我发现一个很奇怪的事情。本以作为哈韦啊最有权势的城主,在宴会上似乎却是不得人心。没有人愿意和他说话,也没有女士请他跳舞。人们对他都有着一种不屑的敌视,我觉得很好奇,你是不是知道什么。” Amanda shakes the head: „The matter between noble, how possibly is my this small Merchant can know.” 阿曼达摇摇头:“贵族间的事情,怎么可能是我这种小商人能知道的。” The Beta corners of the mouth have a smile, calmly watches her meeting, said: „A sentiment subscription fee of gold coin.” 贝塔嘴角含笑,静静地看着她一会,才说道:“一枚金币的情报费。” Merchant chases the advantage, these words are absolutely not wrong. Beta just now speaks the words, the complexion of Oman slightly changed, she shakes the head saying: Your excellency, I do not know.” 商人逐利,这句话是绝对没有错的。贝塔才刚把话说完,阿曼家的脸色就微微变了一下,她又摇头说道:“阁下,我真的不知道。” Five gold coins.” Beta sentiment subscription fee enhancement. “五枚金币。”贝塔将情报费提高。 Amanda this time expression was very splendid, on her face has the hesitant facial expression obviously. Crossed some little time, she said: Your excellency, I do not know.” 阿曼达此时的表情已经很精彩了,她脸上明显有着犹豫的神情。过了好一会,她才说道:“阁下,我还是不知道。” Beta admires said: You really have credit Merchant, keeps one's mouth shut. However I believe that in this city has the person who many knows this news, does not know that they are the same with you. I one will decide that Mercenary Guild walks, perhaps their clear anything.” 贝塔佩服地说道:“你果然是有信用的商人,守口如瓶。不过我相信这座城里有很多知道这个消息的人,也不知道他们是不是和你一样。我一会决定去佣兵工会走一趟,说不定他们清楚些什么。” Wait/Etc.. You did not use.” A Amanda layer on layer/heavily racket tabletop, then reluctantly said: Beta your excellency, you were really my difficult adversary, clear(ly) know that I did not have what resistivity to the gold coin, unexpectedly used such method, was too mean...... Now you can give me five gold coins.” “等等。你不用去了。”阿曼达重重一拍桌面,然后无奈地说道:“贝塔阁下,你真是我的克星,明知道我对金币没有什么抵抗力,居然用出这样的手段,太卑鄙了……现在你可以把五枚金币给我了吧。” Five gold coins, regarding small noble, were a change, let alone was Amanda such Merchant. 五枚金币,对于很多小贵族来说,都是笔小钱了,更何况是阿曼达这样的商人 Beta takes five gold coins, puts on the tabletop, then said: If you, other more valuable information, I will add 1-2 gold coins to you.” 贝塔将五枚金币拿出来,放到桌面上,接着说道:“如果你的话中,还有其它更有价值的情报,我会多加一两枚金币给你。” Good.” In Amanda both eyes the none remaining flashes greatly. “好。”阿曼达双眼中精光大闪。 In nearby Shirley, walked, she is also very interested in this matter. 在一旁的雪莉,也走了过来,她对这事也挺感兴趣。 Amanda deeply inspired, said: City Lord that last night you saw, was only nominal City Lord, our Harway the city, more than 300 years did not have City Lord actually.” 阿曼达深吸了一口气,说道:“昨晚你们见到的城主,只是名义上的城主,我们哈韦啊城,其实已经有300多年没有城主了。” This saying what meaning?” Beta is listening to some doubts: Here, but Hollevin land, if City Lord did not have City Lord, the imperial family will appoint again, how possibly not to have City Lord, moreover was more than 300 years.” “这话什么意思?”贝塔听着有些疑惑:“这里可是霍莱汶的土地,如果一座城主没有城主了,皇室会再进行委任,怎么可能没有城主,而且还是300多年。” I know that your excellency will ask such. Our family/home more than 400 years of history, just knew this matter here.” Amanda said with a smile: Please hear saying that later you can inquire casually.” “我就知道阁下会这么问。我们家在这里已经400多年的历史了,刚好知道这件事情。”阿曼达笑道:“请你听到说完,之后你可以随便提问。” Hand signal that Beta has made invitation. 贝塔做了个请的手势。 Amanda tells the story immediately. 阿曼达立刻就将故事娓娓道来。 Originally more than 300 years ago, original Harway the city has City Lord, but why does not know, suddenly one day, the man of City Lord completely dies a violent death to perish. Moreover the cause of death is very fearful, when breaks by not the well-known strength is hewn two sections, or gets up at the scene, as if came under the invisible attack to be ordinary. 原来在300多年前,本来哈韦啊城是有城主的,但不知道为什么,突然有一天,城主家的男人全部暴毙而亡。而且死法都很可怕,当断被不知名的力量砍成两截,或者当场起来,仿佛受到了无形的攻击一般。 Within one day, the male of City Lord completely died at that time certainly, only remaining women and children. But these women and children by other noble to swallowing, were less than five days quickly, City Lord all died. 一天之内,当时城主家的男性就全部死绝了,只剩下妇孺。可那些妇孺很快就被其它贵族给‘吞噬’了,不到五天,城主一家就全死光了。 Beta hears here, frowned, more than 300 years ago this time selects, as well as the City Lord masculine cause of death, making him think of an extremely not good possibility. 贝塔听到这里,皱起了眉头,300多年前这时间点,以及城主家男性的死法,让他想到了一种极度不好的可能性。 Then Harway noble of city, are rich in the stone material city for permanent control this, joins up, has made a good play. At that time they discover one in the city with the poor who the City Lord successor looked like very much, held in him the position of City Lord, then they secretly were controlling him. Because of this relations, Royal City does not know, Harway City Lord of city had changed players, therefore has not distributed City Lord to come. 而后哈韦啊城的贵族们,为了永久掌控这座盛产石材的城市,联合起来,做了一场好戏。他们在城中找出一个和当时城主继承人很像的贫民,把他扶到了城主之位上,然后他们则在幕后控制着他。因为这关系,王城一直不知道,哈韦啊城的城主已经换了人,所以也就没有重新分派城主过来。 Then, several big noble aristocratic families have dominated Harway the city more than 300 years. This in Harway, is the semiopen secret, only then the external talented person will not be clear. 就这样,几个大贵族世家把持了哈韦啊城300多年。这在哈韦啊中,已经算是半公开的秘密,只有外来人才不会清楚。 Really is very interesting story.” Beta puts out seven gold coins from the space, places on the tabletop: This is you should result.” “果然是挺有意思的故事。”贝塔从空间中拿出七枚金币,放在桌面上:“这是你应该得的。” Really is natural noble your excellency.” “真是大方的贵族阁下。” After Amanda has thought highly of Beta one, then took the gold coin sharply to walk. 阿曼达恭维了贝塔一句后,便拿着金币急冲冲地走了。 Then after Beta, is depending upon chairback supinely, long sighed. 而后贝塔后仰依靠着椅背,长长地叹了口气。 Shirley in the one side, somewhat worried that asked: Master, you are not quite as if happy.” 雪莉在一旁,有些担忧地问道:“主人,你似乎不太开心。” Truly a little.” The Beta forced smile said: If my guess not wrong, in the past has massacred the City Lord family's male person, may be me extremely.” “确实有点。”贝塔苦笑道:“如果我的猜测没有错的话,当年杀掉了城主全家男性的人,极有可能是我。” Shirley stared in a big way the eye: How possible, although the master your conduct attitude, discussed that swallows the etiquette is very good, appears quite mature, but I can affirm, your body is very absolutely young, possibly is not the 300-year- old man.” 雪莉瞪大了眼睛:“怎么可能,虽然主人你的行事作风,谈吞礼仪都很好,显得比较成熟,但我能肯定,你的身体绝对还很年轻,不可能是300多岁的老头子。” Really. Was I orders to kill City Lord all adult males.” Beta has thought the meeting, said honestly: „The behavior they will have that pitiful condition, involves to me is unable to the strange event that you explained.” “真的。是我下令杀了城主一家所有成年男性。”贝塔想了会,还是坦白说道:“之所为他们会出现那种惨状,其中涉及到一项我无法向你解释的怪事。” Shirley is hugging the neck of Beta from the back, said gently: How is you to kill? I believe that the master you with no reason at all will certainly not kill people.” 雪莉从背后搂着贝塔的脖子,温柔地说道:“就算是你杀得又如何?我相信主人你一定不会无缘无故地杀人。” Truly is not with no reason at all. Beta remembers, in the past was playing, he and Harway City Lord of city has the serious conflict, even was in the life and death situation. Finally he leads the Knight group, has broken through Harway the city...... He personally ordered to execute in the City Lord family all adult males, then has exiled all female members. 确实不是无缘无故。贝塔记得,当年在游戏中,他和哈韦啊城的城主有着严重的冲突,甚至已经到了你死我活的地步。最后他带领骑士团,攻破了哈韦啊城……他亲自下令处决了城主家族中所有的成年男性,然后流放了所有的女性成员。 He has not thought that the matter in game, so faithfully will respond in the reality. 他没有想到,游戏中的事情,会如此忠实地反应到现实中。 What he has not thought that in the reality Harway the City Lord female family members, all had been killed unexpectedly by other noble, does not remain. 他更没有想到的是,现实中哈韦啊城主的女眷,居然全被其它贵族杀了,一个不剩。 The Beta mood is somewhat dreary, he has not regretted at the matter that in the game has, he is only has not thought that reality unexpectedly because the game will become so brutal, will look like the destiny makes it so to be the same simply. 贝塔的心情有些阴郁,他并没有后悔在游戏中发生的事情,他只是没有想到,现实居然会因为游戏变得如此残酷,简直就像是命运使然一样。 Although said that he does not believe the destiny, was not organized by the destiny. 虽然说他不相信命运,也不受命运摆布。 When he is moved, before waiter, your letter report said: 就在他伤感的时候,门外的侍者前来禀报说: City Lord visit! 城主来访!
