After Otto Loki leaves the office, the Nightingale sound conveys from the body side, „he said by no means is the truth, especially comes the Border Town beforehand experience.” 奥托.洛西离开办公室后,夜莺的声音从身侧传来,“他说的并非全是实话,特别是来边陲镇之前的经历。” „It is not strange, he first arrives certainly in Kingdom Capital, after Timothy has negotiated transfers to Western Region's,” Roland smiled, „, if directly soars my here from the beginning, that called fishily. Two chip is the diplomat most likes the dry/does matter, if I, will not place in the egg a basket easily.” “不奇怪,他一定是先抵达王都,跟提费科交涉过一番后才转往西境的,”罗兰笑了笑,“如果一开始就直奔我这儿,那才叫有鬼呢。两头下注是外交家最喜欢干的事,如果是我,也不会轻易把鸡蛋放在一个篮子里。” „Your meaning is...... Can't they stand us?” “你的意思是……他们不一定会站在我们这边？” „At least will immediately not make decision,” he has taken pot hot water, fills to the brim the teacup again, „you thought that after that Lord of Dawn receives these messages, how many believe?” “至少不会马上做出决定,”他取过一壶热水,重新将茶杯倒满,“你觉得,那位晨曦之主收到这些消息后,会相信多少？” Nightingale has jammed for quite a while, „I...... Does not know.” 夜莺卡壳了半天,“我……不知道。” „I do not know,” Roland just said the shoulder was then pinched, „...... However is a little obvious, these news sound fearfully, but will occur in-- even us will have years later no way to give an actual date. But Church's threat close at hand, perhaps after beginning of the spring, will take an action, therefore Lord of Dawn not because this information sides with us, he will continue to stand by most likely, decides the victory and defeat until me and Timothy. If there is an ample force, perhaps he also meets the two sides to give the advantage, to seek future repayment.” “我也不知道,”罗兰刚说完肩膀便被掐了一下,“……不过有一点是显而易见的,这些消息听起来可怕,但都发生在若干年后——甚至我们没法给出一个确切的日期。而教会的威胁近在眼前,说不定开春后就会有所行动,所以晨曦之主并不会因为这个情报倒向我们,他十有八九会继续作壁上观,直到我和提费科分出胜负。如果有余力的话,他或许还会两边都给予好处,以谋取将来的回报。” This is also the common technique of politician, they are not willing to take too many risks, likes the steady gain benefit, especially war repayment enormous investment plan. If no threat of Devil, Roland does not repel and them contacts thoroughly, lays down the trap and other opposite party to plunge into, later both capital and interest takes back more bills due again. But now he did not have the mood and opposite party plays this diplomacy to play, in future one year, Border Town must attack on own initiative, stabilizes fast the aspect, storm will soon sweep across, but, but also competes for the fish that eats to have the dead end in the pond. 这也是政客的常见手法,他们不愿意冒太多风险,喜欢平稳的获取利益,特别是战争这种回报极大的投资项目。如果没有魔鬼的威胁,罗兰也不排斥和他们深入接触,埋下陷阱等对方跳入,之后再连本带利收回更多欠账。但现在他已没心情和对方玩这种外交游戏了,今后的一年里,边陲镇必须主动出击,将局面快速稳定下来,一场风暴即将席卷而至,还在池塘里争夺吃食的鱼儿只有死路一条。 „That...... Did you say these news?” Nightingale puzzled say/way. “那……你将这些消息说出去好吗？”夜莺不解道。 „At least Kingdom of Dawn is not our genuine enemies, that helps the news of noble to Devil be able to believe that many I am not clear, but the related Church's ambition part they definitely spare no effort will propagandize, this was also equal to that is weakening the Church's rule foundation,” Roland answered, „, once lost the public support, Church wanted to use kingdom natural resource not to be easy fast.” “至少晨曦王国不是我们真正的敌人,那帮贵族对魔鬼的消息能相信多少我不清楚,但有关教会的野心部分他们肯定会不遗余力的宣传,这也等于在削弱教会的统治基础,”罗兰解释道,“一旦失去了民众支持,教会想要快速利用王国资源就没那么容易了。” The information that although grasps oneself all informs the opposite party, may in fact he only disclose that to Otto Devil has part, has not mentioned the witch empire and first twice War of Divine Will news. 虽说是把自己掌握的情报悉数告知对方,可实际上他只向奥托透露到魔鬼存在这一部分,并未讲出女巫帝国和前两次神意之战的消息。 The former makes the person not dare to believe compared with existence of Devil, will possibly play counter-effect--, because folk most areas have the hostility to witch, so long as this matter guides slightly, perhaps meets the distortion becomes „the witch plot”. 前者比魔鬼的存在更加让人不敢置信,甚至可能会起到反效果——因为民间大多数地区都对女巫抱有敌意,这种事情只要稍加引导,恐怕会扭变成为“女巫的阴谋”。 But the latter easily attacks human to resist the Devil confidence, if before , twice is defeated, opportunity of third achievement how many? 而后者则容易打击人类对抗魔鬼的信心,如果前两次都是失败,第三次获胜的机会又有多少？ In brief, the seed of anti- enemy has laid down hand in hand, as for can harvest the achievement, must look that Kingdom of Dawn then responded. 总之,携手抗敌的种子已经埋下,至于能不能收获成果,就要看晨曦王国接下来的反应了。 ...... …… Three days later, Roland saw Otto Loki again. 三天后,罗兰再一次见到了奥托.洛西。 In the look that since he loses can guess correctly the meeting the answer. 从他失落的眼神中就可以猜到会面的答案。 „I favor conclude the treaty of alliance with you, but compares to the discussion treaty of alliance detail, now the most important matter feeds in Dawn the news as soon as possible,” he caresses the chest to salute saying that „, therefore I to you proposed here said good-bye before leaving.” “我更倾向于同您缔结盟约,但比起商谈盟约细节,现在最要紧的事是尽快将消息传回晨曦,”他抚胸行礼道,“因此我在此向您提出辞行。” „After the hope, can hear your good news,” Roland nods. “希望之后可以听到你的好消息,”罗兰点点头。 „Moreover...... Your highness,” Otto has hesitated moment, „I have my presumptuous request.” “另外……殿下,”奥托踌躇了片刻,“我还有一个不情之请。” „What?” “什么？” „Please look after Andrea Quinn for me.” “请代我照顾好安德莉亚.奎因。” Andrea is Sleeping Island witch, compared with asking me, you should ask Tilly Wimbledon, although is thinking, Roland sighed, complied. 安德莉亚是沉睡岛女巫,比起拜托我,你更应该去拜托提莉.温布顿,尽管这么想着,罗兰还是叹了口气,答应下来。 ******************* ******************* Stands in the castle peak, Andrea is welcoming the cold wind of howling, looks to the south-- that is the direction that Scarlet Water River flows. 站在城堡顶端,安德莉亚迎着呼啸的寒风,望向南方——那是赤水河流淌的方向。 „And Doesn't go to dock?” Shavi hides behind the invisible barrier, is cold trembles, „I heard that he must go by boat, to leave immediately, under as playmate from infancy to maturity, delivers and sees off should also be.” “不、不去码头吗？”纱薇躲在无形屏障后面,冷得直哆嗦,“我听说他马上就要乘船离、离开了,作为从小到大的玩伴,送、送别下也是应该的吧。” „Here sees off is also same,” her released a long breath. “在这里送行也一样,”她长出了口气。 „Listened to and listen to Ash saying that he never forgot to you.” “听、听灰烬说,他对你念念不忘。” „In her words ten, only then can believe that” the Andrea ill-humored say/way, „unexpectedly still praised that fellow to be constant in front of Lady Tilly, was the dog mouth cannot put out the ivory simply.” “她的话十句里只有一句能信,”安德莉亚没好气道,“居然还在提莉大人面前夸赞那家伙始终如一,简直是狗嘴里吐不出象牙。” „, Is and is this?” The Shavi tooth trembles to say. “呃,是、是这样吗？”纱薇牙齿打颤道。 „Right,” she snort/hum, looked to shrinking one group of latter afterward, „you, if thought that cold first gets down, will wait to come up to take me to be also good again.” “没错,”她哼了一声,随后望向缩成一团的后者,“你如果觉得冷的话就先下去吧,等会再上来接我也行。” „And Has not related, I you am good because of here.” Shavi shook the head, „counter-, infected the cold to have Miss Lily to treat in any case, but can also have two and two days of vacation, played several signs.” “没、没关系,我在这儿等你就好。”纱薇摇了摇头,“反、反正感染了风寒有莉莉小姐治疗,还可以放两、两天假,多打几把牌呢。” A saying as if also was very so reasonable, Andrea has set upright the thumb to her, then carried over area the vision Scarlet Water River-- in the snowflake of fluttering, she saw the sail of raising indistinctly, red rocked in the mast peak slightly. 这么一说似乎也很有道理,安德莉亚冲她竖了个大拇指,接着将目光移向赤水河一带——在飘荡的雪花中,她隐约看到了升起的风帆,一点红色在桅杆顶端微微晃动。 That is the signal of setting sail. 那是起航的信号。 This is good, she thinks, the time will dilute all, forgets to everybody, is a better result. 这样就好,她想,时间会冲淡一切,遗忘对大家来说,都是更好的结果。 Regarding the Otto intention, Andrea cannot look completely, but she still chose has avoided-- he was Oro Tokat, by in the status in family, can definitely get married a more appropriate female, but not time waste on witch. As Shining Light City most prominent three families noble, such sentiment comes to nothing surely, moreover she is not willing to return to that piece to get rid of her place again. 对于奥托的心意,安德莉亚并非完全看不出来,但她依然选择了回避——无论是他还是奥罗.托卡特,凭借在家族中的地位,完全可以迎娶更合适的女子,而不是将时间浪费在一名女巫身上。作为辉光城最显赫的三家贵族,这样的感情必定毫无结果,而且她也不愿意再回到那片抛弃她的地方。 Does not see is the best choice. 不见才是最好的选择。 Has met again, the friend of mine, Andrea thought. 再会了,我的朋友,安德莉亚心想。 The partly visible sail vanishes in the field of vision end quickly. 若隐若现的风帆很快消失在视野尽头。 ******************* ******************* After the envoy matter comes to the end, during Roland invests into Border Town's immediately constructs. 使者的事情告一段落后,罗兰马上又投入到边陲镇的建设之中。 Now the Three Contacts project of town water supply, heating and power supply formally started, three pipelines use the underground walk embedment, goes nonstop to each community. Because the house building had considered at the beginning of the design reserves cave entrance, therefore the residence part is very simple, the key is the position of boiler and water tank. 如今全镇供水、供暖、供电的三通工程已正式启动,三条管线全部采用地下通道埋设,直通各个小区。由于住宅楼房在设计之初就考虑过预留洞口,所以入户部分十分简单,关键在于锅炉和水塔的位置。 To the saves the material, reduce transportation to lose as far as possible, Roland gave up completely by the plan of Scarlet Water River pumping, but changes to gets down pumping-- Border Town's ground water natural resource to be very rich, the water level depth is also shallow, the well drilling is easy. This time does not need to consider water source pollution, in addition the perspective observation of Silvie, Roland has determined four in intakes situated in small town quickly. Is centered on this four well points the clean water purification that extracts already can satisfy the clean, to drink to need daily, can be for the heater boiler use. 为了尽可能节约材料,减少输送损耗,罗兰放弃了全部由赤水河取水的方案,而改为地下去取水——边陲镇的地下水资源十分丰富,水层深度又浅,打井非常容易。这个时代无需考虑水源污染,加上希尔维的透视观察,罗兰很快确定了四个位于小镇内的取水口。以这个四个井点为中心,抽取出来的洁净水既能满足清洗、饮用等日常所需,也可以供暖气锅炉使用。
