Wolf Heart, Deep Pond Bay. 狼心,沉池湾。 …… …… As one of the Kingdom of Wolf Heart only two coastal cities, here dock area always busy incomparable. Every day will have peddler from inland, delivers the sea boat to sell the cargo toward other country, or received exchange for the thing that oneself need from marine trader there directly, therefore the dock area also quite likely is a big rural fair, has everything expected to find to the slave from the fur. 作为狼心王国仅有的两座海港城市之一,这里的码头区总是繁忙无比。每天都会有许多来自内陆的行商,将货物送上海船售往他国,或是直接从海商那里换取自己所需要的东西,因此码头区也颇像是一个大集市,从毛皮到奴隶应有尽有。 White is bored to death sits on own carriage, listens to by the car(riage) labor to talk on endlessly, while looks out the sea direction. 怀特百无聊赖地坐在自己的马车上,一边听着车旁的劳工叨唠,一边遥望大海方向。 Since Hermes and Greycastle make war, each region church transported the duty of orphan also to stop along in to Holy City, loses his day of maximum extra income income to be sad immediately. But more awful in behind, because of the end of war is restored by the kingdom order that Church overthrew, each region feudal lord small conflict was unceasing, the horse cart driver who sought a livelihood in the car dealership loses the stable income to originate like this backing basically, has to arrive at Deep Pond Bay to seek for the new job. 自从赫尔梅斯和灰堡开战后,各地教堂向圣城输送孤儿的任务也随之中止,失去了最大一笔外快收入的他日子顿时难过了许多。但更糟糕的还在后面,被教会推翻的王国秩序并没有因为战争的结束而恢复,各地领主小冲突不断,像他这种依托于车行讨生活的马车夫基本失去了稳定收入来源,不得不来到沉池湾寻找新的营生。 Although here prosperity certainly was also affected, but struggles authority Gui to strive for the power in feudal lord well, to enjoying the pursue also has not fallen. In addition crosses the Cage Mountain important highway to be controlled by Token Family, the luxury goods that other feudal lord want rely on the marine transportation, making the city as before maintain the pre-war prosperous scene. 尽管这里的繁荣也受到了一定的影响,但好在领主们争权归争权,对享受的追求亦没有落下。加上横穿笼山的要道被托肯家族控制,其他领主想要的奢侈品更依赖于海运,使得城市依旧保持了战前的兴盛景象。 Naturally, this also with the Deep Pond Bay Baron throughout insisted that the neutrality is related. 当然,这也跟沉池湾男爵始终坚持中立有关。 White chooses this place also to have the consideration in stable aspect. 怀特选择此地亦有着稳定方面的考虑。 He was old, has not wanted to run around again. 他年纪大了,已不想再四处奔波了。 Draws in several substandard goods again, can buy a house in outer city, when the time comes makes a small business transaction, should also be able to cross. 再拉上几次货,就能买下一座外城的房子,到时候做点小买卖,应该也能过得下去。 „Uncle, today hasn't embraced to live?” Suddenly a young labor was laughing and playing was climbing up his car(riage). “大叔,今天还没揽到活吗？”忽然一名年轻的劳工嬉笑着爬上了他的车。 „Urges to go faster, my has embraced none of your business,” waving of White like catching up with fly, „don't on casual my car(riage), broke by rubbing the wheel axle you unable to repay.” “去去去,我揽没揽到关你什么事,”怀特像赶苍蝇一样的挥了挥手,“别随便上我的车,磨坏了轮轴你赔不起。” „Do not say that compared with cargo I multiple, looked that here knows.” The latter pats the belly that the racket opened wide first, then lies down toward the compartment, picks the straw that always sets the base to hold in the mouth in the mouth, has sized up the circle in all directions, what „your previous transporting is what? How to have a sour stink?” “别这么说嘛,比起货物我才多重,看这里就知道啦。”后者先是拍了拍敞开的肚皮,接着往车厢里一躺,捡起根垫底的稻草叼在嘴中,四处打量了圈,“你上次运的是啥？怎么里面有一股酸臭味？” „You do not get down, I must punch you.” The White ill-humored say/way, this fellow does not have the name, other labors called him Clever, does not know where was smart. They do not have any relations, is busy at work in dock purely, hits several to put in an appearance. “你再不下去,我就要揍你了。”怀特没好气道,这家伙没有名字,其他劳工都叫他机灵鬼,也不知道哪里机灵了。两人没有任何关系,纯粹是都在一个码头忙活,打过几个照面而已。 „Depends on your to the rainy day on the artificial leg that the pain must unable to come to a stop?” The opposite party does not care at to say, „air/Qi of this day as if must rain, is your bone paining now?” “就凭你那条一到阴雨天就痛得站不稳的假腿？”对方满不在乎道,“这天气似乎又要下雨了,你的骨头现在正隐隐作痛吧？” White has food stuck in the throat, this repugnant little rascal, when is 怀特不禁噎住,这讨厌的小鬼,到底是什么时候 „hehe, like must eat the person should not be staring at me, but I help you look do exactly.” Clever lets go saying that „a ship must transport on that many cargos, you were old, pushes others, naturally makes little.” “嘿嘿,别像要吃人一样的盯着我,我可是来帮你找活干的。”机灵鬼摊手道,“一艘船就那么多货物要运,你年纪大了,又挤不过人家,自然挣得少。” „What do you actually want to say?” “你到底想说什么？” „Is very simple, my brothers can help you seize the good position, wants free of charge you are much more useful, interested?” “很简单,我的兄弟们可以帮你去抢占好位置,比你一个人干要有用得多,有没有兴趣？” „Snort, you will not always waste time.” White spat. “哼,你们总不会白忙。”怀特啐道。 „10% of transport expense, are very just.” Clever smiled. “运费的一成,很公道吧。”机灵鬼笑了笑。 He is silent for a while. At this time the sky of top of the head already somewhat gloomy, the sea breeze blows the lower hem corner whistling to make noise, obvious heavy rain. If had the ship to arrive in Port at this time, he is truly difficult to snatch business that artificial leg from other with the expert in is not only own hindrance, is the employer sieves his reason. 他一时沉默下来。此时头顶的天空已有些阴沉,海风吹得衣角呼呼作响,显然一场大雨将至。如果这时有船到港,他确实很难从其余同行手中抢到生意那条假腿既是自身的阻碍,也是雇主筛掉他的理由。 Saw him not to have answer, Clever to hit a sound to refer, „, since did not reject, I when you agreed.” 见他没有回答,机灵鬼打了个响指,“既然不拒绝,那我就当你同意咯。” „You help...... And continues my, right?” Crossed some little time, White stares to say. “你帮的……并不止我一个,对吧？”过了好一会儿,怀特才瞪眼道。 „cough cough, if everybody can line up, we can also save many matters not?” Clever slightly the past, „I said the uncle desirably, can't your this car(riage) change into the arrange/cloth cushion the straw? The Deep Pond Bay most valuable cargo except Chaos Drink of fjord outside was the perfume, although bought was noble, generally will supply for oneself the carriage, but which family/home will not meet an accident/surprise, would the need putting on extra cars. But in your this car(riage) stinking, even if we helped you snatch the good position, the employer may not agree......” “咳咳,如果大家都能排队来,我们也能省下不少事不是么？”机灵鬼刻意略了过去,“我说大叔,你这车就不能把稻草换成布垫子吗？沉池湾最值钱的货物除开峡湾的混沌饮料外就是香水了,虽然买的都是贵族,一般会自备马车,但谁家不会遇上个意外,总会有需要加车的时候。而你这车里臭烘烘的,就算我们帮你抢到了好位置,雇主也不一定会同意啊……” Swept the fellow of speaking with confidence, some White clear opposite party has been called the Clever reason suddenly, but he lived is not being is a vegetarian the age greatly, „was right, you did not ask that what before I had drawn other day?” 扫了眼侃侃而谈的家伙,怀特忽然有些明白对方被人叫做机灵鬼的原因了,不过他活着大把年纪也不是吃素的,“对了,你之前不是问我上回拉过什么吗？” „Yeah?” “嗯？” „The cow dung that draws, is used to work as fuel/thin Shao that.” He said slowly, „, although has seasoned, but after having moistened the humidity, leaves behind residual anything is also very normal.” “拉的牛粪,用来当柴烧的那种。”他慢慢说道,“虽说都晒干过,但沾了潮气后留下点残渣什么的也很正常。” Clever complexion immediately one stiff, turns head to put out the straw of mouth, lies coughs on the frame. 机灵鬼的脸色顿时一僵,扭头吐出嘴里的稻草,趴在车架上干咳起来。 Eventually is baby little rascal. White with the nostril snort/hum the sound, looked once more to the sea, afterward in same place. 切,终究是个毛头小鬼罢了。怀特用鼻孔哼了声,再次望向大海,随后愣在了原地。 Sees only several three mast sea boats to appear in the field of vision end, is driving slowly toward Deep Pond Bay. Each is the steamship of Fjord Chamber of commerce flagship rank, main mast close ten zhang (3.33 m), the masthead is fluttering near gold/metal Dihei flag, but business conference symbol flag that any he does not know very well. 只见数艘三桅海船出现在视野尽头,正缓缓朝沉池湾驶来。每一艘都是峡湾商会旗舰级别的大船,主桅接近十丈,桅顶飘着金底黑边的旗帜,而那并不任何一家他所熟知的商会徽旗。 However lets him do what he pleases, so long as there is a ship to have the business, which for draws the goods is not? Moreover one time comes three, even if not ask these labors to help, he should also be able to receive the goods of 12 car(riage)s. 不过管他呢,只要有船就有生意,为哪家拉货不是拉？而且一次来三艘,就算不找这些劳工帮忙,他应该也能接到12车的货。 White turns the frame, 2-3 untie horse rope, when is preparing pulls mount the unloading cargo area to wait, Clever suddenly puts out a hand to hold on his clothes. 怀特翻下车架,两三下解开马绳,正准备牵着坐骑去卸货区等着时,机灵鬼忽然伸手拉住了他的衣服。 „Hello...... As if some are not right.” “喂喂……似乎有些不对。” Can have any incorrect, White does not bear to turn the head, but this looking makes him dumbfounded. 能有什么不对的,怀特不耐地转过头去而这一望让他目瞪口呆。 After three sea boats, many masts reveal little, the sail that raises links up into a single stretch indistinctly, has formed one in the sea level „white wall”. 在三艘海船之后,还有许多船桅正一点点显露出来,扬起的风帆隐约连成一片,在海面上形成了一道“白墙”。 „My God......” “我的天哪……” When a numerous gray-black hull enters the view, almost covered sea original, actually White has tried from the beginning also the number to be clear many only to come the ship, but after number to 50, he then discovered that oneself vision could not follow the appearance speed of ships. 100? 200...... No, perhaps must be much more! 当一众灰黑色的船身进入视野,几乎覆盖住了大海本来的面貌,怀特一开始还试图数清楚究竟有多少只来船,但数到50后,他便发现自己的目光已跟不上船只的出现速度。100？200……不,恐怕还要多得多！ Many giant three mast sea boats, but more is braves the white smoke Stream Ship regarding the new-style ships of this type of non- sail, he occasionally also has seen several times, but one time presents these many now, it may be said that completely has exceeded his imagination. He pledged that is occupied by the sailor in Port, has not seen the so huge fleet! 这其中不乏巨大的三桅海船,但更多的则是冒着白烟的明轮船对于这种无帆的新式船只,他偶尔也见到过几次,但如今一次出现这么多,可谓完全超出了他的想象。他发誓就算是住在港里的水手,也没有见过如此庞大的船队！ In the harbor other people also noted this inconceivable one, the commerce, sailor or the labor, cannot help but put down the manual labor in hand, held one's breath to gaze at approaching of enormous and powerful fleet. 海港里其他人也注意到了这不可思议的一幕,无论是商贩、水手还是劳工,都不由自主地放下手中的活计,屏气注视着浩荡船队的逼近。 dock that made noise is unexpectedly peaceful. 原本喧闹的码头竟然安静下来。 Along with nearness of ships, the flag that flutters even more is also clear above the gold/metal bottom, White vaguely saw the symbol of high tower long spear/gun style. But all sea boats all are hanging the same flag, when several hundred emblem flags flutter in the breeze, when composes the new sea horizon, appoint everyone can feel dignity of implication. 随着船只的靠近,那飘扬的旗帜也越发清晰金底之上,怀特依稀看到了高塔长枪样式的徽记。而所有海船皆悬挂着同样的旗帜,当数百面徽旗迎风招展,组成新的海天线时,任谁都能感到其中蕴含的威严。 Clever has held breath a cold air. 机灵鬼倒吸了口凉气。 „This is...... Greycastle's King's Flag?” “难道这是……灰堡的王旗？” White does not dare to believe mutters, „your meaning is...... Did King of Greycastle, come?” 怀特不敢置信地喃喃道,“你的意思是……灰堡之王,来了？” Because Deep Pond Bay does not stop these many steamships, therefore most ships fall to haul down a sail outside Port, but ten steam driven vessels straightly advanced the harbor. 由于沉池湾根本停不下这么多大船,因此大多数船只都在港外降下帆来,而十艘蒸汽船则笔直开进了港口。 They just approach shored, one crowd wears the person of same color uniform/subdue then one after another to gush out from the springboard place, forms the sequence team in trestle volume one rapidly, marched into dock uniform. These people unemotionally, in the look brings to let the ray that the person is afraid, likely is the experienced soldier, absolutely does not have that type to reveal outside stubborn with making widely known. 它们刚刚靠岸,一群身穿同色制服的人便从跳板处鱼贯涌出,迅速在栈桥上集结成数列正队,整齐划一地步入了码头。这些人面无表情,眼神中带着让人不寒而栗的光芒,像是老练的战士,却又完全没有那种显露在外的桀骜与张扬。 White has swallowed a saliva, although he has never seen such team, but felt heartfelt fear at heart, moreover he knew and continues so these outcomers quickly occupied each trestle, actually nobody dares to raise the objection. 怀特咽了口唾沫,他虽然从未见过这样的队伍,但心里却感到了由衷的畏惧,而且他知道并不止自己一人是如此这些外来者很快占据了每座栈桥,却没有一个人敢对此提出异议来。 White realized, this fleet is not does business. 怀特意识到,这支船队绝不是来做生意的。 The atmosphere on dock as if solidifies/coagulates. 码头上的气氛仿佛为之凝固。 The cloud layer in sky also pressed more and more lowly. 天空中的云层也压得越来越低了。
