When Roland crawls from the bed the horizon is greatly bright. 罗兰从床上爬起来时天边已是大亮。 He ********, arrives at the window, the construction of misty white has revealed the respective bottom color, the red tile plastered wall mixed in together, has formed vital varicolored. Although indoor is still very cold, but faces the sunlight the words, can feel some temperate warm feelings. 他********,走到窗边,白蒙蒙的建筑已经露出了各自的底色,红瓦灰墙混合在一起,形成了一种富有生机的杂色。尽管室内依然很冷,但面向阳光的话,又能感到些许温和的暖意。 Earth snow. 大地化雪了。 Enters the study room transformation the office, on table is placing today's breakfast, fries the eggs and two wheat pancakes, in addition one cup of hot boiling water, with are the same when small town, obviously is Nightingale helps itself prepare. 走进书房改造的办公室,桌上正摆放着今天的早餐,一个煎鸡蛋和两块烙饼,外加一杯热开水,和在小镇时一样,显然是夜莺帮自己准备的。 „Thanks,” the deck chair of Roland to nobody left said. “谢谢,”罗兰对空无一人的躺椅说道。 „How do you know me here?” The Nightingale form appears gradually. “你怎么知道我在这儿？”夜莺的身影渐渐浮现出来。 „Can lie down you not to sit,” he smiled, grips the egg two wheat pancakes, delivers to the mouth, „. Moreover the chairback fell, does not know that was fishy.” “能躺着你就不会坐着,”他笑了笑,将两块烙饼夹住鸡蛋,送到嘴边,“而且椅背都陷下去了,不知道才有鬼。” „No, sits me also very much to like,” her moves sideways, appears near the desk directly, turns over/stands up to sit the table edge, „for example here.” “不,坐着我也很喜欢,”她一个闪身,径直出现在书桌边,翻身坐上桌沿,“比如这儿。” This set of movement passing clouds and flowing water, are always worth seeing a hundred times, Roland thinks, especially escapes the process that into the dense fog twinkling leaves again, likely is the jump is simply ordinary. 这套动作行云流水,总是百看不厌,罗兰想,特别是遁入迷雾再瞬息脱出的过程,简直像是跃迁一般。 „You look like the mood are good, has had the good dream?” “你看起来心情挺不错,做了好梦？” She has selected the eyebrow, „Yeah, is a good dream.” 她挑了挑眉毛,“嗯,是个不错的梦。” „That is good, in” Roland several „egg hamburger” will swallow to get into the stomach, „today you must move with me.” “那就好,”罗兰几口将“鸡蛋汉堡”吞下肚里,“今天你得跟着我行动了。” „Because of assassination?” “因为刺杀事件？” „Yeah,” his mood concentrates, „, if were really " Gem List " begins using by Timothy, perhaps Western Region also will have other dark chess to exist, but we had no way to examine everyone.” These to the royal family are loyal person, and has the stratagem bravely should not waste in the assassination, they can put a more promising seat to display oneself ability. Thinks of here, Roland further strengthened has eradicated the determination of Timothy influence as soon as possible. “嗯,”他心情一凝,“如果真是「宝石名单」被提费科启用了的话,西境说不定还会有其他暗棋存在,而我们没法把每个人都审查一遍。”这些对王室忠贞不二且有勇有谋的人不应该浪费在暗杀上,他们本可以放到更有前途的位子上去发挥自己的能力。想到这儿,罗兰进一步坚定了尽快铲除提费科势力的决心。 „If you hope, Your highness,” Nightingale said with a smile, „does today's traveling schedule need to go?” “如你所愿,殿下,”夜莺微笑道,“今天的行程要去哪儿？” „Mine tunnel and salt well, this is also I comes one of the place main purposes.” “矿洞和盐井,这也是我来此地的主要目的之一。” ...... …… And does after Petrov relevant personnel convene the castle, inspects the team enormously and powerful to the city to expunge. 将培罗和一干相关人员召集到城堡后,考察队伍浩浩荡荡地向城外开去。 What although Roland cares is two iron ore situated in Maple Leaf and Wild Rose, but the gem trade good and evil is also the pillar industry of Longsong region, moreover is also recent to stronghold, therefore the inspection first station has placed on this illustrious five colors gem mine. 虽然罗兰更在意的是位于枫叶和野蔷薇两家的铁矿,但宝石贸易好歹也是长歌区的支柱产业,而且离要塞也最近,因此考察的第一站就放在了这座赫赫有名的五色宝石矿上。 Because the snow is the result, the ground becomes is muddy, the carriage is unable to pass through, the group can only ride a horse to march forward slowly, arrives in the Impassable Mountain Range edge to spend the most morning time. Roland believed firmly once more " wants richly, first builds roads " the truth, a hard surfacing to mining site does not have, once rains is unable to ship the ore smoothly, output again high also useless. 由于化雪所致,地面变得泥泞不堪,马车无法通行,一行人只能骑马缓缓行进,抵达绝境山脉边缘就花去了大半个上午的时间。罗兰再次确信了「想要富,先修路」的真理,一条通往矿区的硬质路面都没有,一旦下雨就无法顺利运送矿石,产量再高也没用。 Mineral lode situated in natural grotto, after a little segment narrow channel, the interior suddenly sees the light, about hundred bunches of resin flares also can only the scene in grotto according to the general idea. After Roland raised head looks around asked that „was this cavern the natural formation?” 矿脉位于一处天然的岩洞之中,经过一小段狭窄的通道后,内部豁然开朗,近百束松脂火把也只能将岩洞内的景象照个大概。罗兰抬起头张望一番后问道,“这个洞穴是天然形成的？” „Yes, Your highness,” Petrov nods, „in hearsay the even/including discovered that it is also accidental: Here is together smooth dike, more than 300 years ago earth has a vibration, the dike has collapsed, has revealed the present cave entrance. From the beginning local hunter only treats as the taking shelter from the rain place this place, unceasingly was afterward thorough along with the exploration, has discovered existence of five colors gem.” “是的,殿下,”培罗点点头,“传闻中连发现它也是一次偶然:原本这儿是一块光滑的岩壁,300多年前大地发生过一次震动,岩壁垮塌下来,露出了现在的洞口。一开始当地的猎户仅把此地当作避雨场所,后来随着探索不断深入,才发现了五色宝石的存在。” „You know actually very clearly,” Roland said with a smile. “你倒是知道得很清楚,”罗兰笑道。 „These stories in Western Region calculates on well-known,” Petrov beckons, making a team man close up, „he called Denver Kerian, was the superintendent of this mine tunnel, the concrete matters concerned you can inquire him.” “这些故事在西境算的上家喻户晓,”培罗招招手,让队伍一名男子靠拢过来,“他叫丹佛.柯涟,是这座矿洞的管理者,具体的事宜您可以询问他。” „Are you Duke Ryan person?” “你是莱恩公爵的人？” „No, Esteemed your highness, which feudal lord a Kerian clan does not belong,” is called the Denver man bows to salute, his roughly 30 years old is, open the mouth actually to look like a calm old man, „we lived for generations around this mine, discovered that its hunter is also one of the family ancestors. The family serves three Duke successively, the mine tunnel map of plan has person of high fully, nobody can be familiar with the mine tunnel like Kerian.” “不,尊敬的殿下,柯涟一族并不属于哪位领主,”被称为丹佛的男子躬身行了个礼,他约莫30来岁,开口却像一位沉稳的老者,“我们世世代代都生活在这座矿山周围,发现它的猎户也是家族的祖先之一。家族先后服务过三位公爵,绘制的矿洞地图足有一人高,没有人能像柯涟一样对矿洞了如指掌。” Could see that he is proud, what even if faces is Prince Greycastle , can still speak with confidence. Moreover that steady temperament are especially outstanding, in addition black uniform/subdue of one set of practicing moral culture/slim fit, likely is the old stewards of these millennium aristocratic families in the movie performs is simply common. 看得出他对此十分自豪,即使面对的是灰堡王子,也仍能侃侃而谈。而且那股稳重的气质格外出众,加上一套修身的黑制服,简直像是电影里演出的那些千年世家的老管家一般。 Because this group of people adopted the verification of Nightingale before set off, therefore Roland was not worried that he is ambush, „why in the mine tunnel does nobody mine now?” 由于这伙人在出发前都通过了夜莺的审核,所以罗兰并不担心他是一位潜伏者,“为什么现在矿洞里无人开采？” „Because shortly after Months of Demons just finished, Your highness,” Denver replied without hesitation, „after snow melting in hills, will converge in the mountain massif, and flowed to the low spot. Although in the mine tunnel has established the drain and collects the water well, but the speed of catchment transports the person is much faster , the bottom mineral lode is unable to enter temporarily. According to the past convention, here must wait till arrives in the summer can mine normally.” “因为邪月刚结束不久,殿下,”丹佛不加思索地答道,“群山中的积雪融化后会汇入山体中,并向低处流淌。矿洞里虽然设置了排水沟和汇水井,但集水的速度比人搬运要快得多,底部的矿脉暂时无法进入。按照以往的惯例,这里得等到夏季到来才能正常开采。” „Maple Leaf and is iron ore of Wild Rose territory also this?” “枫叶和野蔷薇领地的铁矿也是这样吗？” „I, although has not gone to there, but heard that two iron ore topography are high, ore extends upwardly, is better than here on many. But wants to resume production, at least must wait till for one month later.” “我虽没去过那里,不过听说两家的铁矿的地势较高,矿道向上延伸,比这儿要好上不少。但想要恢复生产,至少也得等到一个月之后。” „It seems like you need to erect several Steam engine to help to pump water.” Roland shrugs to say. “看来你们需要多架设几台蒸汽机来帮助抽水。”罗兰耸肩道。 „Steam...... The machine, what is that?” Denver looks to have doubts. “蒸汽……机,那是什么？”丹佛面露疑惑。 „One type can let the machine that mine tunnel four seasons do not rest,” prince cannot bear raise the corners of the mouth, „after you, some place also many-- that needs to study about mining.” “一种能让矿洞四季都不歇息的机器,”王子忍不住扬起嘴角,“你以后需要学习的地方还有很多——关于采矿一事。” The look of opposite party as if quite does not believe that the lip moves, but has not refuted finally. 对方的神色似乎颇为不信,嘴唇动了动,但最终没有反驳。 Roland has not cared, orbital mine car and necessary Steam engine pump and traction system have utilized very skilled in Northern Slope Mine, even has also sold one set to the Silver Light City ore big shot, here also will sooner or later exchange efficiency higher steaming plant-- is only he is not interested in gem, definitely first will place on the data format iron ore. 罗兰也没放在心上,轨道矿车与配套的蒸汽机抽水、牵引系统在北坡矿山已运用得十分熟练,甚至还向银光城的矿石大亨出售了一套,这里迟早也会换上效率更高的蒸汽设备——只是他对宝石并不感兴趣,肯定会把开发重点优先放在铁矿上。 „Such being the case, goes to the next inspection place.” Roland turns around to say. “既然如此,就去下一个考察地点吧。”罗兰转身道。 „Wait/Etc., Your highness...... This is a Kerian Family intention,” Denver has not thought probably the prince leaves on the preparation immediately, goes forward hastily two steps, pulls out small wooden box from the bosom, hands nearby him. “等等,殿下……这是柯涟家的一点心意,”丹佛大概没想到王子立刻就准备离开,连忙上前两步,从怀里掏出一个小木盒,递到他跟前。 „Oh?” Roland have a relish received wooden box, turns on the cover. Sees only two clear radiant gem to lie down in the box, the ray of flare made it reflect the red green overlap the brilliance, was dazzling lets some people vertigos. He cannot help but stares, „this...... Is five colored stone?” “哦？”罗兰饶有兴致地接过木盒,打开盖子。只见两颗晶莹璀璨的宝石躺在盒中,火把的光芒令它折射出红绿交叠的光彩,炫目得让人有些眼花。他不由得一愣,“这……就是五彩石？” „, Your highness, they most save the high-quality goods that the essence in gem chooses from the quality of material, is the family the hundred years ago treasured possessions.” Denver caresses the chest saying that „Kerian is honored to be very much the Western Region's new host works.” “正是,殿下,它们是从质地最存粹的宝石中选出来的精品,也是家族百年前的珍藏品。”丹佛抚胸道,“柯涟一家很荣幸能为西境的新主人效劳。” Roland has not perceived the opposite party latter half a word words completely, his attention already completely centralized to gem on, this ray is extremely really familiar, he who even if knows nothing about the mineral has also heard the given name of this kind of stone. 罗兰完全没有把对方的后半句话听进去,他的注意力已全部集中到了宝石身上,这个光芒实在太过熟悉,就算对矿物一无所知的他也听说过这类石头的大名。 Compared with five colored stone this type name that has ornamentally, in the later generation, it also has another more popular name-- Diasporite. 比起五彩石这种颇具观赏性的名字,在后世,它还有另一个更为通俗的名称——硬水铝石。
