Because this line goes quietly, naturally some people will not greet. 由于此行是悄然前往,自然也不会有人迎接。 Therefore Otto does not plan to directly soar the castle from the beginning, any spoken language cannot compare personally to see clearly, he plans first on the flower 1-2 days of time, under the observation the territory of prince, then looks for under the local Mouse understanding well the information. 因此奥托并不打算一开始就直奔城堡,任何言语都比不上自己亲眼所见来得真切,他计划先花上一两天时间,好好观察下王子的领地,再找当地的老鼠了解下信息。 Goes out of the cabin, he just stepped trestle, was feared by present scene. 走出船舱,他刚踏上栈桥,便被眼前的景象惊住了。 This is...... dock that place of border region can have? 这是……一个边陲之地所能拥有的码头？ Sees only along river bank several hundred steps scopes is the dock regions that is built by the sorrel bricks and stones, every other distance has a trestle, the trestle and dock attachment point is also setting upright a sign, above writes the serial number number. Otto counted the number approximately, altogether 26-- they distributed entire simultaneously , likely was tentacles that the shore extended, some above were covering the snow, but some have revealed the tan plank, this explained that even if in Months of Demons, small town some dock still people were also safeguarding. 只见沿着河岸数百步的范围内都是由红褐色砖石堆砌出来的码头区域,每隔一段距离就有一条栈桥,栈桥与码头连接处还竖着一块牌子,上面写着编号数。奥托大致数了数,一共26条——它们排布得整整齐齐,像是岸边延伸出来的触须,有些上面覆盖着积雪,而有的露出了黄褐色的木板,这说明即使在邪魔之月,小镇的码头也依然有人在看管。 Reviews Greycastle Kingdom Capital canal dock, the length or the trestle quantity, are inferior to here half! 反观灰堡王都的运河码头,无论是长度还是栈桥数量,都不及这里的一半！ However made him surprised, is ships that dock anchored. 不过更令他惊讶的,是码头边停靠的船只。 A gray eurysome marine railway of unprecedented becomes one row, anchors in front not far away. They altogether have 7-8, the water line is very shallow, not only does not have the sail, cannot see the mast, but the size of hull cannot delimit likely by the oarsman. These strange ships most unique places lie in both sides have a giant wood wheel respectively, a crude iron control that as well as the center stretches out, the contour and any inland river sailing ship are not same. 一种前所未见的灰色宽体船排成一列,停靠在前方不远处。它们共有七八艘,水线很浅,既没有风帆,也看不到桅杆,而船身的大小又不像是靠桨手能划得动的。这些古怪船只最独特的地方在于两侧各有一个巨大的木轮,以及中央伸出的一根粗铁管,外形和任何内河帆船都不相同。 Otto waited and saw in the one side for a long time, transmits the cool feeling until the top of the head, does not want to understand these strange how „steamboat” must be able to move. 奥托在一旁观望了许久,直到头顶传来凉意,也没有想明白这些怪异的“轮船”要如何才能动起来。 Pats the snow on head, he receives to have an intention the doubts, decides to enter small town with the crew first. 拍掉脑袋上的积雪,他收起心中的疑惑,决定先跟着船员进入小镇。 This running free ” from Kingdom Capital only will not ship obviously itself, Otto saw that the crew move the sailing ship a bag cargo, piles up nearby dock. Several put on the guard of black uniform/subdue to record anything with the pen paper, but also picks up two bags to examine once for a while, as if in inspect goods. 这艘来自王都的“顺风”号显然不会只运送自己一个人,奥托看到船员们将一袋袋货物搬下帆船,堆放在码头一旁。几名穿着黑色制服的侍卫则用笔纸记录着什么,还时不时挑出两个袋子来查看一番,似乎在检验货物。 „Who are they? Mercenary soldier who the buyers invited?” Otto arrives at side the captain. “他们是什么人？买家请来的佣兵？”奥托走到船长身边。 „Ha, mercenary soldier?” The latter grins saying that „these people, but Border Town's patrol member.” “哈,佣兵？”后者咧嘴道,“这些人可是边陲镇的巡逻队员。” He cannot help but stares, patrol leader? Wasn't that equal to bumping into one group of robbers? When oneself first time leave the Kingdom Capital inner city, had been blackmailed two silver royal by the patrol member, but such situation where mostly the same except for minor differences-- they are equal to the underground Mouse opposite, but dry/does is actually exactly almost the same as Mouse, the difference is, they collect fees are higher, moreover draws cash frequently does not handle matters. However what made Otto strange was, the captain was long-drawn-out is smoking the tobacco pipe, not the meaning that prevented them to inspect, has not pulled out several silver royal to make them hurry to leave. 他不由得一愣,巡逻队？那不等于碰上了一伙强盗吗？自己第一次离开王都内城时,就被巡逻队员敲诈了两枚银狼,而这样的情况在哪里都大同小异——他们相当于地下老鼠的对立面,但干的活却跟老鼠相差无几,区别在于,他们收费更高,而且经常拿钱不办事。不过令奥托奇怪的是,船长悠哉地抽着烟斗,并没有阻止他们检查的意思,也没有掏出几枚银狼让他们赶紧离开。 „When my first time comes to here with is the same, captain who you think” saw his idea likely, „here patrol leader is different, so long as according to their customs, before entering the market, does not need to pay any cost.” “我第一次来这里时跟你想的一样,”船长像是看出了他的想法,“这里的巡逻队可不一样,只要按照他们的规矩来,进入市场前并不需要缴纳任何费用。” Patrol leaders...... Custom? The Otto knitting the brows head, this place spoke the truth including the robbers, moreover they also understood with the paper record, although very possible was only some crooked symbols, but also sufficing made people think inconceivable. 巡逻队的……规矩？奥托皱了皱眉头,这个地方连强盗都讲道理了么,而且他们还懂得用笔纸记录,虽然很可能只是些歪歪扭扭的符号,但也够让人觉得不可思议了。 „What are they recording?” He asked. “他们在记录什么？”他问。 „Cargo type and quantity...... Especially the wheat,” captain lets go saying that after „transports to the market, must check, avoids your midway selling to others-- the grain here, food can only sell by feudal lord. Naturally, in my cargo does not have the wheat, will therefore inspect will be quite quick.” “货物的种类、数量……特别是小麦,”船长摊手道,“运到市场后要进行核对,避免你中途将粮食卖给了别人——在这里,食物只能由领主售卖。当然,我的货物里并没有麦子,所以检查得会比较快。” After all cloth sacks were moved carriage team, the group leave dock, sets out to the market along the spacious street, Otto suddenly discovered that own eye is insufficient. 当所有布袋被搬上马车队后,一行人离开码头,沿着宽敞的街道向市场进发,奥托突然发现自己的眼睛不够用了。 Is here really the Kingdom of Greycastle most remote territory? 这里真的是灰堡王国最为偏僻的领地？ Looks at the under foot smooth hard surfacing, street rows of neat beautiful houses, the people who as well as comes and goes, unexpectedly Shining Light City do not miss on many compared with Dawn. 看着脚下平坦的硬质路面,街边一排排整齐漂亮的房屋,以及来来往往的人民,竟不比晨曦之都辉光城要差上多少。 As noble, he has to see the beautiful magnificent grand construction, dawn Spire is reflected in the sunlight the assembly hall, is not these two or three little building can compare favorably with. 身为一名贵族,他不是没有见过绮丽壮观的宏伟建筑,无论是曙光尖塔还是映日礼堂,都不是这些两层或三层小楼能比得上的。 However dawn Spire only then, in its below, is still surrounding the ruined private residence, the muddy track and sewage find at everywhere. 然而曙光尖塔只有一座,在它的下面,依然环绕着破败的民房,泥泞不堪的小道和污水随处可见。 But here, he actually could not find a slightly obviously obsolete house, general that as if these residences during the same period of time brave. 但在这里,他却找不到一处稍显陈旧的房子,仿佛这些居所都是在同一时间内冒出来的一般。 „You look like very surprised,” captain laughs saying that „do not care, each newly-arrived person will show your such expression. I have saying that Border Town is a mysterious place, sees that side three story of buildings? When my previous time comes did not have.” “你看起来很惊讶啊,”船长哈哈大笑道,“别在意,每一个初来乍到的人都会露出你这样的表情。我不得不说,边陲镇是个神奇的地方,看到那边的三层楼房没？我上次来时还没有呢。” „I heard...... Before here, is one for according to the place that the mining mine constructs.” “我听说……这里以前是一座为开采矿山而建的据地。” „I also such heard that who knows the truth,” he has dug the nose, „you know, some rumor passed on a lot, would becomes changes beyond all recognition. Perhaps is in Northern Slope Mine hides the gold, His Majesty The King is sending here to come own son greatly...... After all is one's own.” “我也是这么听说的,不过谁又知道真相呢,”他挖了挖鼻子,“你知道,有些流言传得多了,总会变得面目全非。或许是北坡矿山里藏着大把金子,国王陛下才把自己的儿子派到这儿来……毕竟是亲生的嘛。” „Wait/Etc., what is that?!” When across a stretch of smooth square, Otto sees two gigantic colored sphere compound floats suddenly in the midair, under is hanging a pair of scroll, on a arrange/cloth also writes the striking writing, side is " welcome to Border Town " , another side is " present joining can obtain citizen benefits " . “等等,那是什么？！”穿过一片平坦的广场时,奥托陡然看到两个硕大的彩色圆球并列漂浮在半空中,下方挂着一对条幅,幅布上面还写着醒目的文字,一边是「欢迎来到边陲镇」,另一边是「现在加入就能获得公民福利」。 „What you are held responsible above is under?” The captain pouts, „how that flight sphere I not am quite clear they to make, as for following...... You can go to east of the square under the understanding situation, there will paste the feudal lord bulletin frequently, this scroll is travel, merchants and refugee who gathers each region to come.” “你是问上面的还是下面的？”船长努努嘴,“那个飞行圆球我也不大清楚他们是怎么弄上去的,至于下面的嘛……你可以去广场东头了解下情况,那里经常会贴出领主的告示,这个条幅则是在招揽各地前来的旅者、商人和流民。” „Do their refugees want?” Otto is surprised the different way, „what is citizen benefits?” “他们连流民都要？”奥托诧异道,“公民福利又是什么？” „Can accept a job offer work in this place, first two months distribute subsidy food, but can also obtain the residence that shelter takes shelter from the rain, listen very well right?” The captain answered with something else in mind, „is not easy to authorize, my several crew have tried, finally did not have a qualified-- feudal lord request not to harbor the disloyalty, can not believe Church, and did not have the crime to experience. But the larceny is also the crime, Oh, which sailor hasn't stolen the thing? Moreover in my opinion, here, although seems very lively, in fact also some insufficient places.” “可以在此地应招工作,头两个月发放补助食物,还能得到一处遮风避雨的居所,听上去很不错对吧？”船长不以为然地解释道,“没那么容易批准的,我的好几个船员都去试过了,结果无一合格——领主要求不可怀有异心,不得信仰教会,并且没有犯罪经历。而偷窃也是犯罪,天哪,哪个水手没偷过东西？另外在我看来,这里尽管看上去挺繁华的,实际上也有许多不足的地方。” „For example?” “比如？” „Finds the place of pleasure to be too few, not having the gambling establishment, not to have the brothel, on the street a streetwalker does not have,” he has spat a saliva, „such place lived for a long time, but also cannot suffocate oneself?” “找乐子的地方太少啦,没有赌场、没有妓院,街上连个流莺都没有,”他吐了口唾沫,“这样的地方住得久了,还不得把自己闷死？” When the market north the square, while captain one line of deliver, Otto decided that first a person strolls here. Listens to the opposite party to introduce, here convenient rural fair and another nearby high-quality market, can see many strange cargos, but the fact is also so, from the egg to dried fish, the cotton garment arrives at the farm tool, the dazzling cargo chocked up one row to stand in a row the frame, so long as stayed the small meeting before the booth, then some people coming up camps said. No matter how with the Fourth Prince discussion result, he to be attracted firmly by this cities. 市场就在广场北面,趁船长一行人去交货之际,奥托决定先一个人在这里逛逛。听对方介绍,这边的便民集市和另一旁的精品市场,都能看到不少稀奇的货物,而事实也是如此,从鸡蛋到鱼干,布衣到农具,琳琅满目的货物摆满了一排排立架,只要在摊前停留小会,便有人上来营说。不管和四王子的会谈结果会如何,他已经被这座城镇牢牢吸引住了。 At this moment, in the crowd presented a tumult. 就在这时,人群中出现了一阵骚动。 He has turned the head, discovered that two females are walking toward here. 他转过头去,发现两名女子正在朝这边走来。 A person is tying strip long black ponytail, puts on is also a black robe, the facial features are beautiful, the ice-cold facial expression makes people feel that is hard to approach. But another person completely is different, her expression is gentle, every action and every movement reveal to be elegant and calm, making the person associate to the genial spring breeze. The bright and beautiful golden hair of that rocking, is similar to the Dawn ray. 一人束着条长长的黑色马尾,穿的也是一身黑袍,五官姣好,冰冷的神情却让人感到难以靠近。而另一人则完全不同,她的表情柔和,一举一动都流露出典雅和从容,使人不禁联想到和煦的春风。那头晃动的亮丽金发,更是如同晨曦的光芒。 When sees the golden hair female, Otto felt that own blood is fierce boiling to get up. 看到金发女子时,奥托感到自己的血液猛得沸腾起来。 His both hands shivers slightly, rubbed the eyes repeatedly, believes firmly oneself have not misread-- 他双手微微颤抖,反复揉了揉眼睛,确信自己没有看错—— „Andrea Quinn!” Also the unable to hold back excitement, he unrestrainedly shouts to make noise again. “安德莉亚.奎因！”再也按捺不住激动的心情,他情不自禁地大喊出声。 …… ……
