„Shipcame.”
“船来了。”
The light-graysea horizonendpresented a sail. Heredoes not haveothermerchantto pass through, thereforesees can only came from the Sleeping Island'sships.
浅灰色的海天线尽头出现了一杆风帆。这里没有别的商船通行,所以见到的只能是来自沉睡岛的船只。„Yeah,”Tillyhas complied withonegently, the static of soundandsea waterwashoutshoalmixesintogether, appearsvague. As a result of the backtooneself, Rolandis unable to seeherexpression.
“嗯,”提莉轻轻应了一声,声音和海水冲刷浅滩的杂音混合在一起,显得若有若无。由于背对着自己,罗兰无法看到她的表情。„Mustwalk,”in the Andreatonesomewhatis quite regrettable, „Ialsoverylikeyourterritory , after does not knowreturns toSleeping Island, can Imakelikehere the ice creambread of delicacy.”
“要走了,”安德莉亚的语气里颇有些遗憾,“我还挺喜欢你的领地的,也不知道回到沉睡岛后,我能不能做出像这里一样美味的冰激凌面包。”Besidesagreesgoodbolt action rifle, Rolandalsooneandhas givenher the formula of ice cream, „, so long ashas the egg and milk, where the flavorwill not misstogoes, waits foryouto visitBorder Townnext time...... It is not right, when Neverwinter City, herewill have a more deliciousthing.”
除了一把约定好的栓动步枪外,罗兰将冰激凌的配方也一并送给了她,“只要有鸡蛋和牛奶,味道就不会差到哪里去,等你下次光顾边陲镇……不对,无冬城时,我这里还会有更好吃的东西。”„Is more delicious than the ice cream?”Andreaholds down the golden hair that flies upwards, said with a smile, „feudal lordcannotdeceive people, the words that youspokeIremembered.”
“比冰激凌还好吃？”安德莉亚按住飞扬的金发,笑道,“领主可不能骗人,你说的话我记住了。”„Youmustsuchnot give up, simplystays here,”Ashlets go saying that „Your HighnessTillywill definitely not mindfellow--Sleeping Island that sidefewsocaneatmayhave no wayto makeyouopen wide the bellyto eat.”
“你要这么舍不得,干脆就留在这里啊,”灰烬摊手道,“提莉殿下肯定不会介意身边少一个如此能吃的家伙——沉睡岛可没法让你敞开了肚皮吃。”"Oh, right? After going back , the ice creamyourshare, ” Andreahad not staredheroneeyes, „yougivemeto gnawsaltydried fishdaily, drinksrankfish soupto go.”“哦,是吗？回去后冰激凌没你的份了,”安德莉亚瞪了她一眼,“你就给我天天啃咸鱼干,喝腥鱼汤去吧。”Theyroutinebicker, the sailing shipapproaches the seacoastgradually, flutters the pinkflag that to seefrom the mastpeak, futureH.M.S.

两人例行斗嘴间,帆船渐渐靠近海岸,从桅杆顶端飘扬的粉红色旗帜可以看出,来者正是俏美人号。Shavisummoned the invisiblebarrier, travelledbetween the shoal and sailing ship, is goingto take to the books and commoditylittletransporting of fjordembarks. Finallywhatshipsisplays cardsthreepeople of groupsandFifth Princess, in Tillytakes a stepto mount the barrier, Rolandstopped by calling outher.纱薇召唤出无形屏障,往返于浅滩和帆船之间,将要带往峡湾的书籍和物资一点点搬运上船。最后运送的是打牌三人组和五王女,就在提莉迈步登上屏障之际,罗兰叫住了她。„...... How?”Shehas turned head, inboth eyesis surgingsomecomplexmood.
“……怎么了？”她回过头,双眼里涌动着一些复杂的情绪。Regardingleavingthissituation, Rolanddoes not excel, callinghernameto be only the subconsciousness, butwas, finallyhistake a deep breath, highsound said, „, ifhas come acrossanyissueinSleeping Island, cantellmeat any time, Iwill also find the wayto helpyousolve. Moreover, Neverwinter Cityforeverwelcomeyourarrival!”
对于离别这种场合,罗兰并不擅长,叫出她的名字只是下意识而为,最后他深吸了口气,高声道,“如果在沉睡岛遇到了什么问题,可以随时告诉我,我也会想办法帮你解决。另外,无冬城永远欢迎你的到来！”„......”Tillyafter a whileshows the smiling face, „thanks, youare also same.”
“……”提莉过了一会儿才露出浅浅的笑容,“谢谢,你也一样。”„Said goodbye, everybody.”AndreaandShaviwaveto say.
“再见了,大家。”安德莉亚和纱薇挥手道。Ashhas not spoken, actuallyalsowavedwithtwo people.灰烬没有说话,却也跟着两人挥了挥手。Afternumerouswitchsaid goodbye, barrieris carryingfourpeople, slidfastto the handsomeperson.
与众女巫告别后,屏障搭载着四人,快速向俏美人滑去。„How, to have given up?” The Nightingalesoundfrombehindconveys.
“怎么了,舍不得？”夜莺的声音从身后传来。„Somewhatregretted that more than 300witch...... Ifcanmove toWestern Regionto comethiswell,”Rolanddoes intentionally the relaxedsay/way.
“只是有些惋惜罢了,300多名女巫啊……如果都能搬到西境来该多好,”罗兰故作轻松道。„Yes, suchyoursinwas graver,”Nightingalewhitehiseyes.
“是啊,那样你的罪孽就更深重了,”夜莺白了他一眼。"Ah...... Sin? ” Rolandis startledto say.“啊……罪孽？”罗兰怔道。„Why, herelifenotcompared withSleeping Island?”Annaalsolookspuzzled.
“为什么,这里的生活不是比沉睡岛更好吗？”安娜也面露不解。„Saidyoudo not understand,”shehas turned around, walkstoward the hot-air balloondirectly, „thisismost exasperating.”
“说了你们也不懂,”她转过身,径直朝热气球走去,“这才是最气人的。”Looks at the back of opposite party, Rolandwas relaxing, vanishestwodayslater, Nightingaleas ifregains the beforehandcondition, thismakeshimfeel relievedfinally.
望着对方的背影,罗兰松了口气,消失两天后,夜莺似乎又恢复到了之前的状态,这让他终于放心下来。„Wealsogo back, then some lotare busy,”Wendysaid with a smile.
“我们也回去吧,接下来还有很多事情要忙呢,”温蒂笑道。„Yeah,”RolandandAnnasmile, holdseach otherhand, the trendlooks out the numbertogether.
“嗯,”罗兰与安娜相视一笑,牵起彼此的手,一同走向遥望号。

……Returns to the office, Rolandspreads out the memorandum, startsto considerdevelopment direction of territoryinnewoneyear.
返回办公室,罗兰摊开记事本,开始考虑领地在新一年里的发展方向。Presentlymostimportantwithout doubtistwomatters.
当前最重要的无疑是两件事。Firstpushes down the throneTimothy, avoidshimcontinuingwith the populationpotential of Berserker drugpillconsumptionkingdom, canexpandenormouslyownprestige, tothenunifyGreycastleprepares.
第一是将提费科推下王位,避免他继续用狂化药丸消耗王国的人口潜力,同时也能极大扩张自己的声望,为接下来统一灰堡做准备。SeconddigestsLongsong Strongholdas soon as possible, will letNeverwinter Citysoonon the step the stock rail.
第二是尽快消化长歌要塞,让无冬城早日步上正轨。Aboutformer, healreadyhas discussedwithIron Axe, CarterandinKingdom CapitalTasarepeatedly, decides at the end of April, is at the end of this month, launches the spring offensive. At that timemostcitiesopenedplow the day of sowing seeds, professionalismFirst Armywill not come under the influence of plowingtime, butwas differentregardingtraditionalnoble, at the appointed time the massivepopulationwill be fetteredon the land, no oneis willingto brave the riskopeningoutbreak of war that in the futurewill have an empty stomach. If the armiessuddenlyappearin the Kingdom Capitalsuburb, can definitely hit the opposite partyto be caught off guard.
关于前者,他已和铁斧、卡特及远在王都的塔萨商量过多次,决定在四月末,也就是这个月月底,发动春季攻势。那个时候正是大多数城市开耕播种的日子,职业化的第一军不会受到耕期的影响,但对于传统贵族来说则不一样,届时大量人口都会被束缚在土地上,谁也不愿意冒着将来饿肚子的风险开启战端。大军若是突然出现在王都郊外,完全可以打得对方措手不及。NowSteam Engine Factory and ammunitionfactory and concrete boatawningroominworking overtimeto produce the war materials, the backup workin the full speedrevolution, the City Hallmanpoweris also abundantnow, First Armydoes not compete in the combatfor the first time, the goods that needsto arrangemix the plan, the two sidesknow fairly well, Roland was too not worried.
现在蒸汽机厂、弹药厂和水泥船棚房都在加班加点生产战争物资,后勤工作也在全速运转中,如今市政厅人手充裕,第一军也不是首次出征作战,无论是需要筹备的物品还是调配方案,两边都心中有数,罗兰对此并不是太担心。Therefore the recentworkfocusshouldplaceto absorbonstrongholdnatural resource.
因此近期的工作重心应该放在吸收要塞资源上。Thinks ofhere, Rolandsummoned the officePrime MinisterBarov.
想到这儿,罗兰将总管巴罗夫召到了办公室。„Did the industry of Longsong Strongholdandperipheralterritorycount?”
“长歌要塞及周边领地的产业都统计出来了吗？”Hepulls outsmallbook that carriesalong, „here your highness, the strongholdincomemainly came from the mining industry and salt industry. Especiallyprevious--approaches the Impassable Mountain RangepositionwestLongsong Stronghold, superiorqualitativegem mine, itsoutputaccounted formore than 50% of strongholdincomebefore.”
他掏出随身携带的小本子,“都在这儿殿下,要塞收入主要来自于矿业和盐业。特别是前一项——在长歌要塞西面靠近绝境山脉的位置,有一处优质的宝石矿,之前它的产出占到了要塞收入的一半以上。”„gem mine?”Rolandis not interestedinthistype of luxury goods, „Northern Slope Minedoes not haveraw gemsto deliver, how did Icome to the timetownalsopoorlytothatsituation?”
“宝石矿？”罗兰对这种奢侈品不怎么感兴趣,“北坡矿山不是也有宝石原石产出么,怎么我来的时候镇子还穷到那种地步了？”„Different, Your highness,”Barovrubs hands saying that „Northern Slope Minegemisfollowsothermineral lodeto live, the quantityare extremely few, moreover after the incision, may notact as the jewelryraw material. Butstrongholdgem mineis different, initsdikehas covered entirely the colorfulstone, knocks to obtainqualitygoodfive colored stonetogethercasually, transportsthento selldozensgold royaltoKingdom Capital, the output and qualityare notNorthern Slope Minecancompare.”
“不一样,殿下,”巴罗夫搓手道,“北坡矿山的宝石都是伴随其他矿脉而生,数量极少,而且切开后不一定能充作首饰原料。但要塞的宝石矿不同,它的岩壁里布满了色彩斑斓的石头,随便敲敲都能得到一块品质上佳的五色石,运到王都即可卖上好几十枚金龙,产量和质量都远不是北坡矿山能比的。”„five colored stone?” Is hiscurioussay/way, „what?”
“五色石？”他好奇道,“是什么样的？”„It seems somewhattransparent, oneselffixedcolor, under the sunlightillumination, itcannotreflect the differentgloss, canfromlight greenbecomeorange-red, after cutting, even can also simultaneouslypresent many colorsontogethergem, compared withordinaryredandbluegem, itis more like the crystal of Sunis ordinary.”Barovpaused, „Greycastle'sfive colored stone, Eternal Wintericecrystal stone and Dawnnight lightstone, isamongnoble the mosthoundedjewelry.”
“看上去有些透明,自身没有固定的颜色,阳光照射下,它能反射出不同光泽,可以从浅绿变为橙红,切割好后甚至还能在一块宝石上同时呈现多种颜色,比起普通的红、蓝宝石,它更像是太阳的结晶一般。”巴罗夫顿了顿,“灰堡的五色石,永冬的冰晶石和晨曦的夜光石,是贵族间最受追捧的珠宝。”Sounds is very actually magnificent, Rolandthinks,lateruseditto giveAnnato build a ringto be good, butregarding the livelihood of the peopleconstruction, the gem minesignificancewas not big, „alsohadothermineralsnatural resource?”
听起来倒是挺华丽的,罗兰想,以后就用它来给安娜打造一枚戒指好了,只不过对于民生建设来说,宝石矿意义不大,“还有其它矿产资源吗？”„Maple Leaf FamilyandWild Rosehasiron orerespectively,”Barovsaid,„scaleis inferior toNorthern Slope Mine.”
“枫叶家和野蔷薇家各拥有一座铁矿,”巴罗夫说道,“规模都不及北坡矿山。”Butthesetwoterritoriesit seems likespan the Four Great Kingdomsmountain rangenext toImpassable Mountains--also are really a treasure house, Rolandthought,perhaps needs to takeSilvie, inquires aboutalong the foot, verified the Neverwinter Cityore reserve. After allregarding the industrial production, steelhas represented the strength.
而这两家领地都紧挨着绝境群山——看来纵跨四大王国的山脉还真是一座宝库,罗兰心想,或许有必要带上希尔维,沿着山脚探寻一遍,探明无冬城的矿石储量了。毕竟对于工业生产来说,钢铁就代表了力量。
