Day just slightly bright, Kassim arrived at dock. 天刚微亮,卡库西姆就来到了码头。 What is different from the ordinary day, near dock has stood the silent crowd, they are shouldering the backpack and long spear/gun, is similar to a piece stands erect the jungle in wind and snow. Although the large number of people, the order of scene is very orderly, the soldiers mount Stream Ship one by one, is only this stance, made him feel the speechless strength. 与平日里不同的是,码头边已站满了沉默的人群,他们背负着背包和长枪,如同一片矗立在风雪中的密林。尽管人数众多,现场的秩序却十分井然,士兵们一个挨着一个登上明轮船,光是这份架势,就让他感到了无言的力量。 Kassim has cannot help but swallowed a saliva. 卡库西姆不由得咽了口口水。 This is the His Highness the Prince soldier. 这便是王子殿下的战士。 Really inconceivable, the old person thinks, young time he once the wanderer crossed most Greycastle, from Sea Wind Region to Port of Clear Water, but also leads the merchant fleet to go to the fjord island, has witnessed bluffing and blustering iron armor Knight, experiences has been able empty-handed to prey on the wild animal the aggressive barbarian. These people for him, without doubt are extremely formidable braveness, but he has not thought, now before one group of average people, oneself feels this great strength once more, moreover won the past. 真是不可思议,老人想,年轻的时候他曾闯荡过大半个灰堡,从海风郡到碧水港,还率领着商船队前往过峡湾海岛,目睹过耀武扬威的铁甲骑士,也见识过能空手搏杀野兽的凶悍蛮子。那些人对他来说,无疑都是极为强大的勇武者,可他没想到,如今在一群普通人面前,自己再次感受到了这股强大,而且更胜以往。 Right, these people are average person...... Kassim arrives at Border Town almost to have four months, the understanding small town increasingly deepens. He knows that the First Army member chooses from the local indigenous people basically, when their joining army adulthood, the beforehand occupation was mostly all kinds, has the miner, to have hunter, furnace labor and mason, but does not have the soldier. In other words, they simply do not have to accept the experience of field training since childhood. 没错,这些人都是普通人……卡库西姆来到边陲镇差不多已有四个月,对小镇的了解日益加深。他知道第一军成员基本挑选自本地的原住民,他们加入军队时大多都已成年,之前的职业五花八门,有矿工、有猎户,还有炉窑工和泥瓦工,但就是没有战士。换句话说,他们根本没有从小接受战斗训练的经历。 However how many months, these people had merely were not inferior the imposing manners of any Knight group, what magic has His Highness the Prince used? 然而仅仅几个月时间,这些人就已经拥有了不逊于任何骑士团的气势,王子殿下到底是施展了什么样的魔法？ „You...... Can go really?” Broadcasts the sound that de lowers desirably, coming out that listens, he was also infected by this silent team. “你……真的要去？”身后传来维徳刻意压低的声音,听的出来,他也被这支沉默的队伍感染到了。 „Why otherwise do I want to respond to the position of captain?” Kassim take a deep breath. “不然我干嘛要应聘船长之位？”卡库西姆深深吸了口气。 „But they are go to war.” “可他们是去打仗。” „They are working for your highness,” old head/number of people does not return said that „, but I am also.” “他们都是在为殿下效力,”老人头也不回地说道,“而我也是。” Following sound silent moment, „do not die outside.” 后面的声音沉默了片刻,“可别死在外面了。” He does not have again answer, but beckoned with the hand. 他没有再回答,而是摆了摆手。 ...... …… Withstood/Top the floating snow, Kassim has been mounting No. 6 Stream Ship, according to the tradition, the captain can name as own ships, although this strange steamboat belonged to His Highness the Prince, but he was still informed himself to have this authority. 顶着飘雪,卡库西姆登上了第六号明轮船,按照传统,船长可以为自己的船只命名,尽管这艘古怪的轮船属于王子殿下,但他仍被告知自己拥有这个权力。 But the old person has not set firm resolve. 只不过老人迟迟没有下定决心。 After this is he said goodbye to navigate for ten years, again holds the post of the position of captain, he hopes that oneself can find out a memorable name. 这是他告别航海十余年后,再一次担任船长之位,他希望自己能想出一个具有纪念意义的名字。 „Eldest child, you came!” Enters the bow cabin, own assistant welcomed immediately, „present boiler in preheating, I ensure it quick can transfer.” “老大,您来了！”走进船首的舱室,自己的副手立刻迎了上来,“现在锅炉正在预热,我保证它很快就能转起来。” This young fellow called Mullet, from southern region, once had the experience that the several years went to sea to catch fish. If in other fleets, his sailors may unable to become, but has not missed here, all people are the novices. 这名小伙子叫梭鱼,来自南境,曾有过数年出海捕鱼的经历。若在其他船队,他连水手都不一定能当得上,但在这儿没差,所有人都是新手。 „Was crew in attendance?” “船员都到齐了吗？” „Already arrived, you are last,” the opposite party has pushed the pushing eye. “早就到了,您是最后一个,”对方挤了挤眼睛。 „You, if did not understand how should a Esteemed captain, my being glad will make you scratch an all day deck very much.” “你如果不懂得该如何尊敬一名船长,我会很乐意让你去擦上一整天的甲板。” „No, Esteemed Mr. Captain,” young fellow stands immediately straightly, „I understand certainly!” “不,尊敬的船长先生,”小伙子顿时站得笔直,“我当然懂！” „Then makes sense,” Kassim feels the beard saying that „informs the boiler room, making them reburn prosperously the fire, but that damn steam valve not closing, me has not wanted to hit the buttocks of front ships again!” “这才像话,”卡库西姆摸着胡子道,“通知锅炉房,让他们把火再烧得旺一点,但不要把那该死的蒸汽阀门给合上了,我可不想再撞到前面船只的屁股！” „Good, knows.” A few words have not ended, Mullet reveals one's true colors, he has blinked under the eye toward the old person, then the moving quickly ran the cockpit. “好咧,知道啦。”一句话没完,梭鱼又原形毕露,他朝老人眨巴了下眼睛,接着飞身跑出了驾驶舱。 „This mixes the boy,” Kassim shook the head with a smile. The serious atmosphere that First Army brings was diluted much, he as if returned to the day in the sea galloping. Arrives at the steering wheel, the old person is stroking gently a wooden qualitative round handle gently, starts to sink the heart to review the Stream Ship operational procedure. “这混小子,”卡库西姆笑着摇了摇头。第一军带来的严肃气氛被冲淡不少,他仿佛又回到了在海上驰骋的日子。走到舵轮边,老人轻轻摩挲着木质的轮柄,开始沉下心来回顾明轮船的操作流程。 The stone ship Breeze sailing ship that your highness invents is entirely different, it does not have the mast, not under the cabin situated in deck, only there is two rooms in the bow and mid-ship, front is called the cab, can by two leaves of big window clear seeing route situation, what middle is the boiler room, the power of ships came from there. 殿下发明的石头船和风帆船截然不同,它没有桅杆,也没有位于甲板下的舱室,只在船头和船身中部设有两处房间,前面的被称为驾驶室,可以透过两扇大窗户清楚的看到航线情况,中间的是锅炉房,船只的动力就来自于那里。 Cab when behind and end are the bare deck, the training they will take some miners, heads west following Scarlet Water River, goes to the Hidden Forest peripheral zone to dig some coals to come back-- this thing to bear the fever compared with the firewood, in Sea Wind Region is also quite common warming up thing. But now, around the deck has pulled up the shelter arrange/cloth, in the top of the head has also put up the shed, obviously prepares for the going by boat soldier. 驾驶室的后部和尾部则是光秃秃的甲板,训练时他们常会带上一些矿工,顺着赤水河西行,去迷藏森林的边缘地带挖些煤炭回来——这东西比木柴要耐烧,在海风郡也是比较常见的取暖物。而现在,甲板四周都拉起了遮风布,头顶上也搭起了棚子,显然是为乘船士兵而准备的。 Although before , has never contacted this type of new thing, but Kassim quick discovered in the training, wish makes it move not to be difficult, even is much easier than the sailing ship. Does not only need to save the massive manpower and time-- casual villagers according to wind direction Breeze strength adjustment canvas this point can burn Wangwang boiler, does not have six months to grasp the pole climbing to hold the sail is the impossible matter. So long as chimney blowout white clouds, close the valve ship to walk. 虽然以前从未接触过这种新玩意,但卡库西姆很快在训练中发现,想要让它动起来并不困难,甚至比帆船要容易得多。光是不需要根据风向和风力调整帆布这一点就节约了大量人手和时间——随便一个村民都能把锅炉烧得旺旺的,可没个半年时间想要掌握爬杆操帆是件不可能的事。只要烟囱喷出白气,合上阀门船就会走。 In this time, a depressed whistle sound transmitted from the front, broke Border Town early morning peace. 就在此时,一阵沉闷的汽笛声从前方传来,打破了边陲镇清晨的宁静。 This is the signal of starting. 这是启程的信号。 „Eldest child, the water in stove already boiling!” Mullet fled the cab. “老大,炉子里的水已经沸腾了！”梭鱼又窜回了驾驶室。 „Draws the bell, informs big foot and grizzly bear switches on, the speed, goes forward one!” Kassim grave saying instruction. “拉铃铛,通知大脚和灰熊合闸,航速,前进一！”卡库西姆庄重的说出指令。 „Yes, goes forward one!” Mullet pulls on the wall a tall and slender iron wire, following this silk thread, in the boiler room the corresponding bell can send out to tremble, to transmit order from captain. “是,前进一！”梭鱼拉扯起墙壁上一根细长的铁丝,顺着这根丝线,锅炉房中相应的铃铛会发出震颤,以传达来自船长的命令。 The hull rocked fiercely, the both sides wood wheels rotate slowly. 船身猛地晃动了一下,两侧的木轮缓缓转动起来。 Kassim grips the steering wheel, looks straight ahead front--, when de asked when that issue, he has not said the bottom of heart true idea, or is the feudal lord potency is only the small part of answer. 卡库西姆握住舵轮,直视前方——当维徳问出那个问题时,他并没有说出心底真正的想法,或者说,为领主效力仅是答案的一小部分。 What he is more is only likes " captain " purely this duty. 他更多的只是单纯喜欢「船长」这个职务罢了。 No matter wind sailing ship or steam Stream Ship, when the hand grasps the steering wheel, on the water surface Chen wind cleaves the waves, Kassim will then feel the heartfelt joy. 不管是风帆船还是蒸汽明轮船,当手握舵轮,在水面上陈风破浪时,卡库西姆便会感到由衷的喜悦。 This is life that he wants. 这才是他想要的生活。 „Draws the sail...... It is not right , to continue the coaling!” Old person steer, shouts toward right high, „young fellows grasp, we want set off!” “拉帆……不对,继续加煤！”老人向右转舵,高喊道,“小伙子们抓紧咯,我们要出发啦！” ******************* ******************* „So long as you can deliver to Border Town me, Schilt must have the large sum of money reward...... Five, no, ten gold royal are what kind,” steward blocks a small log cabin entrance by river bank, in a dilemma asked toward boatman. His left leg card in crack in a door place, so as to avoid in opposite party direct coupling worn-out shutter, will resist outside. “只要你能把我送到边陲镇,西尔特家必有重金酬谢……五枚,不,十枚金龙怎么样,”管家堵在河畔旁的一间小木屋门口,朝左右为难的船夫问道。他的左脚卡在门缝处,免得对方直接合上破旧的门板,将自己拒之在外。 „Big, Sir...... It is not I am not willing to deliver you, but cannot accomplish,” boatman stutter said, „you and you looked, my ships have light bottom, keeps off the snow the shed not to have, usually is used to cross the river fortunately, but you said that must go to Border Town, that is several days of times! Did not say that I use to support the punting pole to rush, in the evening the world of ice and snow, where we rest and rest! You must say rest on the ship, have't one can frozen become two icicles all night?” “大、大人……不是我不愿意送您,而是真的办不到啊,”船夫结结巴巴地说道,“您、您看,我的船只有个光底儿,连个挡雪的棚子都没有,平时用来渡河还好,可您说要前往边陲镇,那可是好几天的功夫！不说我用撑篙能不能赶到,晚上冰天雪地的,我们睡、睡哪里啊！您要说睡船上,一整夜还不得给冻成两条冰棍了？” „This does nearby have other to go to the Border Town's boatman?” The stewards do not lose heart asked. “这附近还有其他能去边陲镇的船夫吗？”管家不死心地问。 „Did not have not to have,” the opposite party beckoned with the hand to say again and again, „we were only some boats, only then carrick that wanted, in stronghold to be able to pass the night, you went to there to look.” “没有了没有了,”对方连连摆手道,“我们都只是些小船,只有要、要塞里才有能过夜的大帆船,您还是去那里找吧。” If can enter Longsong Stronghold, why bother also to come suburb dock to look for these to take fishing and ferry as the fresh boatman? 如果自己能进入长歌要塞,又何苦来郊外码头找这些以打鱼和摆渡为生的船夫？ The stewards stepped on snow of foot ground ruthlessly, since Four Great Families starts to attack stronghold, each city gate has sealed up completely, oneself spend quite a while the time to bypass stronghold to come here, only pitifully found still makes a futile effort now. 管家狠狠地踩了一脚地上的积雪,自从四大家开始进攻要塞后,各个城门已经全部封闭,自己花费半天时间才绕过要塞来到这里,只可惜找到现在依然徒劳无功。 Saw that the day must get dark, how can this be able to complete the task that the master assigns? 眼看着天就要黑下来了,这样要如何才能完成主人交代的任务？ The steward bitter color/look looks wear a look to Scarlet Water River, but is quick he to be then in-situ. 管家面带苦色地望向赤水河,但很快他便愣在原地。 Oh, what thing is that? 天哪,那是什么东西？ He rubbed the eyes, believes firmly oneself have not misread a-- fleet to drive extremely huge in oneself direction, the ships appearance and he has seen the sailing ship is not same, in everywhere flying snow, the fleet makes rumble the sound, goes forward along the river course fast \; Except that outside the first modeling strange sailing ship, other ships do not have the sail obviously, actually in against the wind the line, the bow cuts into two pieces the water surface, is similar to cleaves the waves unexpectedly general. 他揉了揉眼睛,确信自己没有看错——一支极为庞大地船队正朝自己方向驶来,船只模样和他所见过的帆船都不相同,在漫天飞雪中,船队发出轰隆隆的声响,沿着河道快速前进\;除开第一艘造型古怪的帆船外,其余船只明明没有风帆,却在逆风而行,舰首将水面截成两段,竟如同劈波斩浪一般。 The flag of first ship flutters against the wind, above is embroidering high tower long spear/gun family emblem comes clearly into view, the steward has cannot help but turned very quiet, this is the fleet of Your Highness Roland Wimbledon! 首舰的旗帜迎风飘扬,上面绣着的高塔长枪家徽历历在目,管家不由得屏住了呼吸,这是罗兰.温布顿殿下的船队！
