位于东城区的提炼大厅是莱特宁平日里最喜爱待的地方。

学徒和弟子们来回搬运着所需的材料,器皿里冒出的阵阵热气,室内挥之不去的硫磺和酸水味,以及偶尔响起的玻璃瓶碎裂声与炼金师的高声咒骂,这里总是充满生机。Althoughhewas promotedtwoyears ago is one of the threeseats of honor, hadownindependentalchemyroom, but the head/number of peoplesurges, the noisychaotichallis easierto makehimburst out the inspiration. alchemyis ordinarylikethisbusyscene, variousmaterialsblendin the same place, majoritywill becomemore opacitas, only thenlittlepartiallycanemerge, will bloomradiantradiance--crystal glassisso, fiercesnow powderalsowill beso.
尽管他已经在两年前升任为三首席之一,拥有了属于自己的独立炼金室,但人头涌动,嘈杂混乱的大厅更容易让他迸发出灵感。炼金就像这繁忙的场景一般,各种物质交融在一起,大多数都会变得更加浑浊,只有少部分才能脱颖而出,绽放出璀璨的光华——水晶玻璃是如此,烈性雪粉也是如此。

Butcancomprehend the aesthetic sense that the sagestudies, hethought that thislifewas complete.
经过灼烧、融化、混合,谁也不知道灰白色的细沙和漆黑的木炭能够转化成如此美妙的东西,这就是炼金的魅力所在。人也不例外,每年都有大批新学徒加入炼金协会,但最终只有少数能褪去粗糙暗淡的外表,成为协会中耀眼的明珠,莱特宁便是其中的一个。从学徒晋升到首席花了足足34年时间,现在他已接近50岁,就快要走到人生的尽头。但能领悟到贤者之学的美感,他觉得这一生已经圆满了。
The matter that Kingdom CapitalhasrecentlymakesLeteninfaintlysomewhatrestless.
只是王都近些日子发生的事情让莱特宁隐隐有些不安。
The biggestaccidentis the thronechange...... After Fourth PrinceTimothystrangles, became the indubitablesuccessor. ThisoriginallyandAlchemy Associationanythinghas not related, whoregardless ofKingis, they only need be responsible forproviding the alchemyproductto be good. But when fiercesnow powderwas takenon the war materialsgivesTimothy, did theyalso to the pastsuchstay out?
最大的变故是王位更替……四王子将提费科绞死后,已经成为了无可置疑的继承者。这本来和炼金协会没什么关系,无论国王是谁,他们只需负责提供炼金产品就好。但当烈性雪粉被作为战争物资上交给提费科时,他们还能否向往常那样置身事外?NowKingdom Capitalreturned tograduallynormal, Fourth Princedoes not haveto visitAlchemy Association, insteadfirstwent toAstrology Station, this seems not a goodindication.
如今王都已渐渐恢复平静,四王子却迟迟没有来参观炼金协会,反而先去了占星台,这似乎是一个不好的征兆。„Are youstill thinking the Astrology Associationmatter?”Somesidepeopleopen the mouthto saysuddenly,„alwayswrinkles a wrinkled faceto be in a dazein the window, thisnotlikeusualyou.”
“你还在想占星结社的事?”身旁忽然有人开口道,“老皱着一张苦脸在窗边发呆,这可不像平时的你。”Canunrestrained/no trace of politenessandspeaks, inevitably is also a seat of honor, heis excessive, lookstosamewhite hairstainedRayleigh, „yousaid...... Whatideafour are His Highness the Princehaving?”
能毫不客气和自己说话的,必然也是一位首席,他偏过头,望向同样白发斑斑的瑞利,“你说……四王子殿下到底在打什么主意?”„Dislikedthathelp/gangto stare at the fellowwastemoney that the starwas looking atall day, but can also haveotheranymeaning,”Rayleighthought little saying that „was only a pityhehad not insistedoneselfview, thatgroup of peopledid not match the name of sage, earlyshouldbe disbandedis right.”
“嫌那帮整天盯着星星看的家伙浪费钱了呗,还能有什么别的意思,”瑞利不以为意道,“只可惜他没有坚持自己的看法,那帮人根本不配贤者之名,早该被遣散才对。”As one of the twoDaxianstudying, Alchemy Associationin the viewastrologerforms associationto placeowninformer, goes to the Astrology Stationgoalslightlyto havehearingregardingRoland, was onlywhat matter not clearchiefastrologer and Fourth Princeprivate talk, finallymadehimcancelhas closed the idea of Astrology Station.
作为两大贤学之一,炼金协会在观星家结社内安插有自己的眼线,对于罗兰前往占星台的目的略有耳闻,只是不清楚首席占星家和四王子到底密谈了何事,最后又让他打消了关闭占星台的想法。„What's wrong, youworried that Alchemy Associationwill also falltothissituationis inadequate?”Hemade an effortto pat the shoulder of Letenin, „do not forgetourproduct to beKingdom Capitalbrings the bigprofit! crystal glassandperfume, so long aslets looselimit production, gold royal that in1-2 years earnenoughcrowds the bedroom of prince, will hegive up the closureassociation?”
“怎么,你难道担心炼金协会也会落到这地步不成?”他用力拍了拍莱特宁的肩膀,“别忘了我们的产品能为王都带来多大的利润!水晶玻璃和香水只要放开限制生产,一两年内赚取的金龙足够把王子的卧室塞满,他会舍得关闭协会?”„But the associationisTimothyrefinementfiercesnow powder......”
“可是协会为提费科提炼烈性雪粉……”„Thathow, can weviolate the order of King?”Rayleighsnorts contemptuously, „he, ifinheada little general knowledge, will not have accuseduswiththisexcuse. Alsohesimilarlyhadmassivesnow powderweapon, not the formula of running awaythere the revoltingPohlobtaining? CancaptureKingdom Capitalalsoto be regarded asourAlchemy Associationmeritsmoothly, perhapswemore superiorqualitativemixing formulawill givehim, but can also obtain the reward.”
“那又如何,我们能违背国王的命令吗?”瑞利嗤之以鼻,“他要是脑袋里还有点常识,就不会用这个借口指责我们。再说他自己同样有大量雪粉武器呢,还不是从逃叛者波尔那儿获得的配方?能顺利攻下王都也可以看作是我们炼金协会的功劳嘛,说不定我们将更优质的混合配方交给他,还能获得奖励呢。”„Hopeso,”Leteninnods, felt at easeat heartslightly. Such that just likeRayleighspoke, Alchemy Associationwasproduces the gold/metalwealthy and powerful familyafter all, His Highness the Princecannot the earliest possible timecome, possiblytied downby the trivial matters.
“希望如此,”莱特宁点点头,心里稍微安心了点。正如瑞利所讲的那样,炼金协会毕竟是产金大户,王子殿下没能第一时间前来,可能是被琐事缠住了。Whenheplansunder the fatedirectionotheralchemist, a discipleout of breathcrashes in the hall, screamedto shouttowardhim, „andchiefSir, your, your majestycame!”
正当他打算下场指点下其余炼金师时,一名弟子上气不接下气地冲进大厅,朝他大声嚷嚷道,“首、首席大人,陛、陛下来了!”„What? Where is heat?”
“什么?他在哪?”Along withcalling out in alarm of Letenin, the noise in hallis instantaneously peaceful, the vision of allpeoplethrewon the future.
随着莱特宁的惊呼,大厅中的嘈杂声瞬间安静下来,所有人的目光都投到了来者身上。„In the above of garden,”discipleswallowed a saliva, „Your Majestyfromspace!”
“在庭院的上面,”弟子吞了口唾沫,“陛下是从天上来的!”LeteninandRayleighhave lookedonemutually, each othersawinbeing astonishedtogrid, „goesto callquickly the Aqierseat of honor, otherpeoplereceiveYour Majestyalong withmetogether.”莱特宁和瑞利互相对望了一眼,彼此都看到了对方眼中的讶异,“快去把阿奇尔首席叫过来,其他人随我一同去接见陛下。”„Yes!”
“是!”

“那应该就是四王子前往占星台时所用的女巫搭载器具了,”瑞利凑到莱特宁耳边低声道,“没想到居然真能带着人飞行。”„No matter what, camefinally,”Leteninrelaxedslightly, afterwardholds the arm of Rayleigh saying that „we said that he in secrethas not relatedfor the prince, butmeetsofficially the performancerespectpoint, even ifhehas not heldto ascend the throne the ceremony is also King of Greycastle, should not be too optional.”
“不管怎么说,总算是来了,”莱特宁稍稍松了口气,随后抓住瑞利的胳膊道,“我们私底下称他为王子没有关系,但正式见面还是得表现尊重点,就算他没有举行登基典礼也是灰堡之王,你不要太随意了。”„Relax, Ialwaysvery muchhave the discretion,” the lattersaid with a smile.
“放心,我从来都很有分寸,”后者笑道。

吊篮平稳落地,一名神采奕奕的灰发男子在侍卫的保护下走上前来。他没有穿着华丽的衣饰,也未佩戴冠冕或权杖,举手投足间却有股说一不二的威严,和以前风评里那位无能的四王子完全两样。在他身边还跟着一位长袍老者,莱特宁发现自己竟意外的有些眼熟。„EsteemedWimbledonYour Majesty, welcomeyouto arrive atAlchemy Association.”Underthreechiefleadership, numerousalchemistbowto salutetogether.
“尊敬的温布顿陛下,欢迎您来到炼金协会。”在三位首席的带领下,众多炼金师们一起躬身行礼。Your Majestysaid with a smile, „IstillwhenKingdom Capital, oftenlistened to the fatherto raiseyou, crystal glassor the perfume, wereextremelypopularalchemyproducts, evensold in distant markets the fjordislands, has brought the richrepaymentto the royal palace. Therefore after I the fatherdispatchesBorder Town, insmall townhas establishedalchemical workshop.”陛下微笑道,“我还在王都时,就经常听父亲提起你们,无论是水晶玻璃还是香水,都是极受欢迎的炼金产品,甚至远销峡湾诸岛,给王宫带来了丰厚的回报。所以我被父亲派往边陲镇后,也在小镇建立了一座炼金工坊。”„Pū--”thissayingmakesRayleighalmostnot smileto make noise. AlthoughLeteninvigorouslyis also enduring patiently, butin the surfacehas not disclosedthroughout,„thatis not easy, Your Majesty. Had a proverbto saywell, anyAlchemic Workshoppiledwithand othergold royal of component.”
“噗——”这话让瑞利差点没笑出声来。莱特宁虽然也在极力忍耐,但面上始终没有透露出来,“那可不容易,陛下。有句老话说得好,任何一座炼金坊都是用等份量的金龙堆出来的。”„Right? ButIhave not investedmanygold royal......

“是吗?可我并没有投入多少金龙……你应该知道那地方有多么贫瘠,一开始我只能搭上几个木棚作为提炼室,如今它也生产出了众多产品,其中就包括玻璃和香水,”陛下轻松地说道,“所以我很好奇,你们每年所花费的金龙都用在了哪里。”„You...... Is thisWhat does it mean?”Leteninbottom of heartsinks.
“您……这是什么意思?”莱特宁心底一沉。„Thisismychiefalchemist, Mr.Cam Schuire,”Rolandhas referred toold man, „hewill make the inspectiontoyouralchemyachievements, ifdid not haveanyinnovative productfor these years, IthoughtAlchemy Associationhas closedgood.

“这位是我的首席炼金师,凯莫.斯垂尔先生,”罗兰指了指身边的老者,“他将对你们的炼金成果做出检视,如果这几年来都没什么创新产品的话,我觉得炼金协会还是关闭了的好。毕竟王都刚刚经历过一场战火,很多街道和民居都需要花费金龙来修复。”These wordshave stirredcontroversyinalchemist!
这句话在炼金师中引起了轩然大波!„Your Majesty, Idid not agree!”Rayleighcould not bearfirststand.
“陛下,我不同意!”瑞利忍不住首先站了出来。
