„Father...... Do we need to achieve this situation really?” “父亲……我们真的有必要做到这个地步么？” In a open area outside Shining Light City, Horne. Quinn is looking at these busy workers from afar, slightly some discontentedly asked. 辉光城外的一块空地上,霍恩.奎因远远望着那些忙碌的工人,略有些不满地问道。 What situated in two people in front is a smooth square of rectangle, vertical almost in one kilometer, crosswise only then about half , since the Greycastle's engineer brigade enters Dawn, the new length measures the law also to disseminate in noble. 位于两人面前的是一个长方形的平坦广场,纵向差不多在一千米之间,横向则只有一半左右自从灰堡的工程队进入晨曦后,新的长度丈量法也在贵族间传播开来。 The square that uses attractive bricks and stones to build becomes are respectively different from Kingdom Capital, its surface is spread completely by the cement, looks like dusky, does not lose face is also unfeatured. Must speak words of merit perhaps only then cultivates conveniently, has only spent less than one week of time from the shovel even land to the construction formation. 和王都里那些用漂亮砖石堆砌而成的广场各不同,它的表面完全由水泥铺成,看上去显得灰蒙蒙的,既不出彩也无特色。非要说一个优点的话恐怕只有修起来方便,从铲平土地到修建成型只花了一周不到的时间。 Workers who however even so, participates in the construction from the team that Quinn Family train up, takes seriously the degree to be inferred. 不过即使如此,参与建设的工人都是来自奎因家族自己培养的队伍,重视程度可见一斑。 „Oh?” Hofford Quinn, was current Lord of Dawn interested looked at his one eyes, „what you referred to was what?” “哦？”霍弗德.奎因,也就是现任的晨曦之主饶有兴趣地看了他一眼,“你指的是什么？” „The instruction of Your Majesty Roland were too rather many,” Horne breaks off begins to point out that „is repairs the bridge is builds roads, but also is frequently dozens miles big project, you concentrate to do these long-term labors in family, in territory exactly what to do? The castle still several waited restore the place not to begin construction.” “罗兰陛下的指示未免太多了,”霍恩掰着手指道,“又是修桥又是修路的,还都是动辄数十里的大工程,您把家族里的长工都集中起来干这些,领地里的活怎么办？城堡仍有好几个待修复的地方至今没动工呢。” Naturally the place of his disaffection is far from these 12 points. 当然他的不满之处绝非这12点。 The father really extremely regarded as important regarding the request of King of Greycastle. 父亲对于灰堡之王的要求实在太过看重了。 Even can with damaging and benefitting others to describe. 甚至可以用损及利人来形容。 For example cement type looks on the road ahead widespread alchemy product, if monopolizes in the family hand, can bring the rich profit inevitably. 比如水泥这种一看就前路广泛的炼金产品,如果垄断在家族手中,必然能带来丰厚的利润。 However because only in Your Majesty Roland letter " please must expand its output as soon as possible " , the father summons the palace big noble, announced the formula in the presence of everyone. The strength of collection noble major chambers of commerce , the cement plant truly established several in a short time, but Quinn Family attained is reduced without doubt. 然而只因为罗兰陛下信中的一句「请务必尽快扩大其产量」,父亲就将大贵族们召进宫殿,当众把配方公布了出去。集贵族手下的各大商会之力,水泥厂短时间内就确实建立起了好几个,但奎因家族的所获无疑被削减了。 When is one's turn constructs the path, situation actually counter-. 轮到修建道路时,情况却反了过来。 These big noble refused, father simply oneself. 那些大贵族一个个推三阻四,父亲干脆就自己来。 From recruiting the manpower to coordinating the Greycastle engineering dept completes the construction, is undertaken by a Quinn Family strength. This is not jot cost, although annexes the family property of Moore royal family to make the family strength sharp increase, may spend similarly to be also rapid like the running water. Looks at the money in treasury to reduce day-by-day, Horne said that does not love dearly is impossible. 从招募人手到配合灰堡工程部完成建设,都由奎因家族一力承担。这绝不是一笔小额费用,虽然吞并摩亚王室的家产令家族实力剧增,可花起来也同样如流水般迅速。望着金库里的钱币一天天减少,霍恩说不心疼是不可能的。 The key is, builds roads is not equal to the business investment, does business gold royal that pays to receive in exchange more wealth, what to the Cage Mountain path but connects Moby River to make? It even not in Quinn Family control territory! Even if can promote the business development in disguised form, cheap is also only these feudal lord of border. 关键在于,修路不等于商业投资,做生意付出去的金龙有可能换回更多财富,但连接陌北河到笼山的道路能挣回什么？它甚至不在奎因家族控制的领地内！就算可以变相促进商业发展,便宜的也只是边境的那些领主。 But from current situation, Your Majesty Roland wants the thing that constructs not to stop is this difference, at present this bewildered, cannot see any function the flat land is the certificate. So spends freely, the family will sooner or later meet the predicament of being unable to make ends meet. In fact, he heard the censure from family interior branch much. 而从目前的情况来看,罗兰陛下想要建造的东西绝不止是这一两样,眼前这块莫名其妙、看不出任何作用的平地就是证明。如此挥霍下去,家族迟早会遇到入不敷出的窘境。事实上,他已经听到不少来自家族内部分支的非议了。 Most makes in the Horne heart uneven, is the father treats the manner of Greycastle person. 最让霍恩心中不平的,便是父亲对待灰堡人的态度。 Not only each project personally inquired about, will also summon the royal palace the officials of these engineering depts frequently, inquired its request on own initiative. If the opposite party is noble , the issue is Horne inquires clearly, these external assignments „official” is the humble birth, not any prominent family background. The father by revering of country king, invited the common people and shares a table the dialogue, this really somewhat made him be hard to accept. 不仅每项工程都亲自过问,还经常会把那些工程部的官员召进王宫,主动询问其要求。如果对方是贵族也就罢了,问题是霍恩打听得清清楚楚,这些外派“官员”全是平民出身,并无任何显赫的家世。父亲以一国君王之尊,邀平民和自己同桌对话,这实在有些让他难以接受。 Today, hears some Greycastle aspect people to come Shining Light City, the father then early region the large military forces to wait to the city outside, this takes the ruler simply incredible, received the castle is enough respect, where has the royal family to achieve this situation? 还有今天,一听到灰堡方面有人要来辉光城,父亲便早早地带着大队人马到城外等候,这简直令人难以置信作为统治者,在城堡里接见已是足够尊重,哪有王室做到这个地步的？ Horne suspected, own foster father is making reparations to Andrea. After all all these changes said goodbye after Hofford and daughter started. 霍恩怀疑,自己的养父是在向安德莉亚赎罪。毕竟这一切变化都是从霍弗德与女儿告别后开始的。 „What to do can I?” Hofford shrugs, „other people are not willing to strive, I cannot, whatever they are coming? The Greycastle's strength your also experience crossed, you thought that does not have the support of Wimbledon family, can I hold on to this seat?” “我能怎么办？”霍弗德耸了耸肩,“其他人不愿出力,我总不能任由着他们来吧？灰堡的力量你也见识过了,你觉得没有温布顿家族的支持,我能坐稳这个位子吗？” „No, father...... I do not let you and Greycastle resist,” Horne beckons with the hand to say again and again, „is only you confesses two, making person hand/subordinate do, Roland Wimbledon cannot pick up any problem. But needs the fund also to be able slowly and local feudal lord discussed that the transaction is the field compromise, a more impatient merchant is easier to suffer a loss, this was you once taught my truth.” “不,父亲……我并不是让您和灰堡对抗,”霍恩连连摆手道,“只是您交代两句,让手下的人去做,罗兰.温布顿也挑不出什么毛病来。而所需资金也可以慢慢和当地领主谈出来交易就是场妥协,越心急的商人越容易吃亏,这是您曾经教我的道理。” „Was a pity that War of Divine Will is not the field transaction.” “可惜神意之战并不是场交易。” „Truly so, but......” Horne bites the lip, finally arouses the courage saying that „you like this, some people think now likely is not Lord of Dawn, but was the Roland Wimbledon Your Majesty's official!” “确实如此,不过……”霍恩咬了咬嘴唇,最终还是鼓足勇气说道,“不过您现在这样子,一些人都认为不像是晨曦之主,而是罗兰.温布顿陛下的臣子了！” He thinks that this saying will stir up the father to fly into a rage, but the latter stared at his meeting, then superficially has smiled, „I asked you, why this mainland will have the view of Four Great Kingdoms, but non- five or three?” 他原以为这话会惹得父亲勃然大怒,但后者只是凝视了他一会,接着轻描淡写地笑了起来,“我问你,为什么这片大陆会有四大王国的说法,而非五个或三个？” „......” Horne somewhat is caught off guard facing the sudden transformation of topic for a while, „, because...... These four are the strongest families?” “呃……”霍恩面对话题的突然转换一时有些措手不及,“因为……这四个是最强的家族？” „More accurate view in the respective territory.” Hofford returns saying that „the strength of family will weaken along with the growth of distance, the so-called border, is the two sides strengths achieves the balanced critical point. But now, this critical point has not existed, so long as Roland Wimbledon wants, he can definitely the Four Great Kingdoms territory total revenue pouch, such being the case, what incorrect I be his vassal also has?” “更准确的说法是在各自的领地内。”霍弗德回道,“家族的力量会随着距离的增长而削弱,所谓的边境,即是两边力量达到平衡的临界点。但现在,这个临界点已不复存在,只要罗兰.温布顿愿意,他完全可以将四大王国的领土全部收入囊中,既然如此,那我是他的封臣又有什么不对的？” Horne refuted subconsciously, „father! The Greycastle's army again can hit, he could not control such big domain! You extremely exaggerated his ability......” 霍恩下意识地反驳道,“父亲！灰堡的军队就算再能打,他也控制不了这么大的地盘啊！您是不是太过夸大他的能力了……” „Is you have not realized the Greycastle's change, the child.” „Perhaps Hofford released a long breath, beforehand Roland does not have, but the distance was unable to become the barrier that now he rules is natural, you had not understood deeply all that he makes, actually naturally were hard to imagine him to achieve what situation.” “是你还没认识到灰堡的变化,孩子。”霍弗德长出了口气,“以前的罗兰或许没有,但如今距离已无法成为他统治的障碍当然,你没有深入了解过他所做的一切,自然难以想象他究竟做到了何种地步。” „You...... How to know?” “您……是怎么知道的？” Hofford said with a smile, „Andrea returned to my letter.” 霍弗德微笑道,“安德莉亚回我的信件了。” This makes the heart of Horne sink. 这让霍恩的心不禁一沉。 When he prepares to urge father again, the distant place suddenly has heard screams. 正当他准备再劝劝父亲时,远处忽然传来了一阵惊呼声。 Then is depressed buzz cry. 接着是沉闷的嗡鸣。 Horne goes following the prestige, cannot help but slightly stares. Saw only the horizon to present one string of neat shadows, they arranged a horizontal and vertical line, was flying toward Shining Light City along the horizon. 霍恩循声望去,不由得微微一愣。只见天边出现了一串整齐的黑影,它们排成一条横直线,正沿着天际线朝辉光城飞来。 That is...... Bird of migration? 那是……迁徙的鸟儿吗？ But a moment later, this thought was then overruled, the volume of sunspot grew in the far ultra world quickly the situation of any birds, and still in unceasing expansion. 但片刻之后,这个念头便被否决了,黑点的体积很快增长到了远超世上任何一种鸟类的地步,并仍在不断扩大中。 Horne stared in a big way the eye gradually, that unexpectedly likely was some type of man-made thing! 霍恩渐渐瞪大了眼睛,那竟像是某种人造之物！ Witness this worker on the scene unrestrainedly puts down the tool in hand, shouts and wrangles. 在场目睹这一幕的工人都情不自禁地放下手中的工具,大呼小叫起来。 The caravans of many passing by also stopped the footsteps, raised head to look into the sky. 更有不少路过的商队也停下脚步,纷纷仰头眺望天空。 „Simply inconceivable...... Unexpectedly made him achieve this point.” Hofford raises the corners of the mouth, person who „I must meet...... Came.” “简直不可思议……居然真让他做到了这一点。”霍弗德扬起嘴角,“我要接的人……来了。” Hears these words Horne to be dumbfounded immediately, are these upright big birds, the vehicles that Greycastle man-made comes out? 听到这句话的霍恩顿时目瞪口呆,难道这些方方正正的大鸟,是灰堡人造出来的载具？ This is possible!? 这怎么可能！？
