Chapter 147 tranquil war 第147章宁静战争 Hears the speech of Krause, Serek and Keller can't help but looked at one to sit in nearby black hair brat, but Rhodes facing two people vision, was half a word words had not said, the expression in his surface has not changed, looked like as if completely has not heard Krause saying that anything resembled. 听到克劳泽的说话,塞雷克和凯勒都不由的望了一眼坐在旁边的黑发小子,而罗德面对两人的目光,却是半句话都没有说,他面上的表情没有丝毫变化,看起来仿佛完全没有听到克劳泽在说什么似的。 „Since Mr. Rhodes agrees did not say, then I first come.” “既然罗德先生不肯说,那么就我先来吧。” Sees Rhodes not to be willing to make noise, Krause also no longer forces, his opening the mouth of a laugh, looks afterward to sitting in nearby Keller. 见罗德不肯出声,克劳泽也不再逼迫,他笑呵呵的开了口,随后望向坐在旁边的凯勒。 „Recently Mr. Keller, Merchant Union did really went too far, I have carried on the warning then this matter to them, the meaning that but these people have not actually reneged on a promise, on the contrary, they think suspicion that since the ore price has had artificially pulled down, this has infringed their benefit, I think why this these fellows will also want the reason that makes these matters to come.” “凯勒先生,最近商人联合会做的实在太过分了,我已经就此事对他们进行了警告,但是这些人却一点都没有反悔的意思,相反,他们认为一直以来的矿石价格有被人为压低的嫌疑,这损害了他们的利益,我想这也是为什么这些家伙会想要做出这些事情来的原因。” Said here, Krause tone somewhat gloomy, but Keller was complexion is also serious. 说道这里,克劳泽的语气有些阴沉,而凯勒也是面色严肃。 Rhodes takes up the teacup, is gazing at the present black tea, superficially is indifferent regarding the speech of Krause, but in fact his very clear the entire matter cause and effect. 罗德拿起茶杯,注视着眼前的红茶,表面上看起来对于克劳泽的说话漠不关心,但事实上他很清楚整件事的前因后果。 In Moon Dukedom, merchant does not have what status, they can make a lot of money, can seek the reputation in many aspects, but they do not have means extremely upgrade oneself influence. Since Moon Dukedom dominant rank to has been very tight, especially in the salt that the trade has grasped, the ore, on grain such foundation commodity is takes tight restriction, makes these commodity commodities prices maintain at a stable aspect with every effort. This has certainly the advantage regarding the stable entire country, but actually lost the good opportunity of making money regarding merchant, the merchant natural disposition is to pursue the benefit, although they can also gain many benefits in Moon Dukedom at present, but is actually not able to pursue the biggest benefit, this makes many merchant extremely discontented. 在穆恩公国里,商人是没有什么地位的,他们可以赚很多钱,可以在很多方面博取名声,但是他们却没有办法太过提升自己的势力。穆恩公国的统治阶级一直以来都对贸易方面抓的很紧,特别是在盐,矿石,粮食这样的基础物资上更是严加管制,尽力使这些物资商品的价格保持在一个稳定的局面。这样当然对于稳定整个国家有好处,但是对于商人来说却失去了赚钱的好机会,商人的本性就是追逐利益,虽然眼下他们在穆恩公国也可以得到不少利益,但是却无法追求到最大的利益,这让很多商人都非常不满。 Moreover, right to speak flaw of merchant in authority is also an issue that they highly care about, in Moon Dukedom, Royal Family is supreme existence, kept promises, they did not permit these Major Chamber of Commerce with the aid or threaten their authority through the monopoly, once had Chamber of Commerce to try to take this to threaten the rule of Royal Family as the method, then regarding Royal Family was ——— fattened up the pig, finally arrived at has been able to massacre to eat the meat the time. 不仅如此,商人在权力方面的话语权缺失也是他们非常在意的一个问题,在穆恩公国里,王室是至高无上的存在,说一不二,他们不允许那些大商会借助或者通过垄断来威胁到他们的权力,所以一旦有商会试图以此为手段威胁到王室的统治,那对于王室来说就是———养肥了的猪,终于到了可以杀掉吃肉的时候了。 Therefore is very clear in people who in Moon Dukedom does business a matter, if you are honest the duty making money, then has not related. But if you want to vacillate the Royal Family authority and authority taking advantage of this, then you died...... 所以在穆恩公国里经商的人都很清楚一件事,如果你只是老实本份的赚钱,那么没有关系。但是如果你想要借此来动摇王室的权威和权力,那么你就死定了…… Although under such pressure, many merchant once complained even angry threat Moon Dukedom, thinks that their this is in the destruction rule, if they continuously for a long time hence this way, will be nobody dare to do business with them. However regarding these threats, Moon Dukedom has not paid attention, after all it in the continent center key communication line, the trade route extends in all directions, the product is rich, excellent in quality and reasonable in price, you do not come also to have others. You do not want to make money not to represent all people not to make money, you thought that the danger has the speculator to want in the danger to seek the riches and honor ——— chase benefit is the merchant natural disposition, the morals and justice never are the things that they should care about. 虽然在这样的威压之下,不少商人都曾经控诉甚至愤怒的威胁穆恩公国,认为他们这是在破坏规则,如果他们长此以往这样下去的话,是没有人敢和他们做生意的。但是对于这些威胁,穆恩公国从来没有放在眼里,毕竟它地处大陆中心交通要道,贸易路线四通八达,物产丰富,价廉物美,你不来还有别人来。你不想赚钱不代表所有人都不想赚钱,你觉得危险可是偏偏就有投机客想要险中求富贵———追逐利益是商人的本性,道德和正义从来就不是他们应该去关心的东西。 But in fact, Moon Dukedom merchant hopes oneself can obtain treatment ——— like Kingdom of Light these Major Chamber of Commerce in Kingdom of Light Parliament, relations between these congressman and Major Chamber of Commerce are close. The congressman comes upgrade own influence with the aid of the Chamber of Commerce wealth manpower, but the latter through paying these obtains redistribution on the political resource. Therefore authority of these Major Chamber of Commerce in Kingdom of Light are very big, even some people's compared with Lord of these territories also want high many in the status. 而事实上,穆恩公国的商人更希望自己能够得到象光之国那些大商会一样的待遇———在光之国议会中,那些议员和大商会之间的关系非常密切。议员借助商会的钱财人力来提升自己的影响,而后者则通过付出这些来获得政治资源上的再分配。所以这些大商会在光之国内的权力很大,甚至有些人在地位上比那些领地的领主还要高的多。 This once made Moon Dukedom Merchant Union covet, they once several times put forward the proposal, hopes that Moon Royal Family can relax to their limits, in Lydia chops the melon cuts vegetable several jumping the most ominous fellow who most shouted loudly hung in the death square outside Golden City exposed to the public, again also nobody stupidly attended the meeting to bring up this topic. 这一度让穆恩公国的商人联合会非常眼热,他们曾经好几次提出建议,希望穆恩王室能够放松对他们的限制,不过在莉蒂亚砍瓜切菜般的把几个跳的最高喊的最凶的家伙吊在黄金城外的永眠广场上示众之后,就再也没有谁愚蠢到会提起这个话题了。 After all merchant foremost goal makes money, next is other, if you assigned did not have, then can make money? 毕竟商人的目标首先是赚钱,其次才是其他的,如果你连命都没了,那么又怎么能够赚到钱呢？ „I have issued the letter of admonition to them once more, requests them within three days, cuts the ore price to the reasonable limit. Otherwise, I will consider to adopt some methods, forces to undercut the price.” “我已经再次对他们发出了书面警告,要求他们在三天之内,将矿石价格重新降低到合理范围之内。否则的话,我会考虑采取一些手段,来强制压低价格。” Said here, Krause sighed. 说道这里,克劳泽叹了口气。 „I other business organizations with area have had the contact, I had ensure can compensate their part of price differences, but they must be maintained invariably by oneself commodity price. I do not hope that sees this to cause any issue, because after all beforehand airborne trade route attacked reason, we have been inferior in the circulation of commodities greatly formerly .........” “我已经和地区的其他商业组织取得了联系,我已经保证会补偿他们一部分差价,但是他们必须要让自己的商品价格维持不变。我不希望看见这引起什么问题,毕竟因为之前空中商路被袭击的缘故,我们在商品流通上已经大不如从前了………” Said here, Krause smiled to Rhodes. 说道这里,克劳泽又向罗德笑了一笑。 „These time has been lucky you, Mr. Rhodes, otherwise, the trade route such gets down again, Parfield Area will turn into any appearance to really be difficult to say ............” “这一次还是多亏了你,罗德先生,不然的话,商路再这么下去,帕菲尔德地区会变成什么样子可真是难说…………” Rhodes light sips black tea, did not say a word as before, but Krause also thinks little, did not understand that Rhodes' person in seeing his first, is very easy, because Boss Rhodes a dead face thought that he does not like speaking, in fact also only then Serek this will be quite familiar his person to know, do not look in Rhodes normally unemotionally, however his words point will be actually many. 罗德轻抿了一口红茶,依旧是一言不发,不过克劳泽也不以为意,很多不了解罗德的人在看到他的第一眼,都很容易因为罗德老板着一张死人脸的觉得他并不喜欢说话,事实上也只有塞雷克这样比较熟悉他的人才会知道,别看罗德平日里面无表情,但是他的话其实一点都不少。 Rhodes does not know why Krause always pulls the topic to oneself on, in his heart can guess correctly a reason indistinctly, but this does not represent him to be willing following the idea of opposite party to do. No matter what, Krause invited to participate in this secret discussion him, can see that he should be has realized anything, since the opposite party has not planned cast aside all considerations for face not mincing words, then Rhodes naturally silly will not stand to oneself. 罗德不知道为什么克劳泽总是把话题扯到自己身上,他心中隐隐约约可以猜出一点缘由,不过这并不代表他愿意顺着对方的想法去做。不管怎么说,克劳泽把他邀请过来参加这个秘密的会谈,就可以看出他应该是已经察觉到点什么,不过既然对方没有打算撕破脸皮打开天窗说亮话的话,那么罗德自然也不会傻到自己站出来。 „...... However I think that Merchant Union likely rejects my request.” “……但是我认为商人联合会很可能拒绝我的要求。” The Krause tone in gloomy and cold many that this time split second changes, sits in the sunlight beautiful warm reception room obviously, but as if a cold current has actually blown, making person can't help but shiver. 克劳泽的语气在这时候一瞬间变的阴冷许多,明明是坐在阳光明媚温暖的会客厅中,但是却仿佛一股寒流吹过般,让人不由颤抖起来。 „This will disappoint me. Mr. Keller, I knows that Keller Family consistently has own one set in the minerals business . Moreover the your family long time in Deep Water City, I also very much believes your prestige. Does not know...... Whether you are interested in expanding your industry?” “这会让我很失望。凯勒先生,我知道凯勒家族一向在矿产生意上颇有自己的一套,而且贵家族久在深水城,我也很相信你们的信誉。不知道……你是否有兴趣扩大自己的产业？” Hears here, Keller eyes opens slightly, he has put down the teacup in hand, complexion is somewhat stiff. 听到这里,凯勒眼睛微微睁大,他放下了手中的茶杯,面色有些僵硬。 Keller is not a fool, he knows certainly that what is this. Clearly, if Merchant Union does not plan to accept the proposition of Krause, then three days later, sits in that position was he! 凯勒不是傻瓜,他当然知道这是什么意思。很明显,如果商人联合会不打算接受克劳泽的提议,那么三天之后,坐在那个位置上的就是他了！ But reason that now, Krause to oneself will propose that this suggestion, in fact was suggesting that he makes the preparation earlier, waits for the time to arrive takes over immediately. 而现在,克劳泽之所以会对自己提出这个建议,事实上就是在暗示他早点做出准备,等时候一到立刻接手。 Thinks of here, reason that Keller then the feeling of can't help but own back cold sweat, clearly, Krause to oneself will propose that this suggestion, definitely has investigated the beforehand matter, realized that the he and Merchant Union contradiction and conflict, this makes this decision. 想到这里,凯勒就不由的感觉到自己的背后一阵冷汗,很明显,克劳泽之所以会对自己提出这个建议,肯定是调查过之前的事情,察觉到他和商人联合会之间的矛盾与冲突,这才做出这个决定的。 Thinks of these, Keller initially decided to feel lucky/fortunate to oneself, although had already heard the Golden City method, but so unscrupulously has stemmed from his unexpected, if initially submitted under Merchant Union, complies to collaborate with them together, then perhaps sits somebody here to replace itself now becomes will soon sit on own seat. 一想到这些,凯勒就对自己当初的决定感到幸庆不已,虽然早就听说过黄金城的手段,但是如此肆无忌惮还是出乎了他的意料之外,如果当初自己屈服在商人联合会之下,答应和他们一起联手的话,那么现在恐怕坐在这里的某人就会代替自己成为即将坐在自己位子上了吧。 If to that situation, own family will be really what kind of? 如果真的到了那个地步,自己的家族会怎么样呢？ Keller can't help shivering, he could not attend to at this moment still looks at the good play in side Rhodes and Serek, immediately boldly thrusts forward, firm replied. 凯勒不由的打了个冷颤,他此刻也顾不得还在旁边看好戏的罗德与塞雷克了,立刻挺起身来,坚定的回答道。 „Please feel relieved, Sir Krause, I will be ready.” “请您放心,克劳泽大人,我会做好准备的。” „This is good.” “这就好。” Hears the reply of Keller, Krause smiled, afterward, he turns the head, looks to Serek and Rhodes. 听到凯勒的回答,克劳泽笑了一笑,随后,他转过头来,望向塞雷克和罗德。 „That, two, then I must discuss is your matter ——— especially the issue about Emerald Tears Mercenary Group.” “那么,两位,接下来我要谈的就是你们的事情———特别是关于翡翠之泪佣兵团的问题。” „If about this topic, then I do not have anything to say.” “如果是关于这个话题,那么我没什么好说的。” Rhodes has put down the teacup in hand. 罗德放下了手中的茶杯。 „I handle the matter that I should handle, is such simple.” “我只是做了我应该做的事情而已,就是这么简单。” Hears Rhodes' to reply, in the Krause eye flashes through fine glow, afterward his eyes narrowed, has shown the smiling face. 听到罗德的回答,克劳泽眼中闪过一丝精芒,随后他眯起眼睛,重新露出了笑容。 „I am very clear your meaning, Mr. Rhodes. However I think that I have a matter to need to tell you...... Two days ago, Dragon of Light Kingdom Special Envoy Mr. Clinton left here, departs for home. He lodged the diplomatic protest in just before leaving forward me .........” “我很明白你的意思,罗德先生。不过我想我还有件事需要告诉你……就在两天之前,光芒之龙国的特使克灵顿先生已经离开这里,启程回国。他在临走前向我提出了外交抗议………” „Snort.” “哼。” Hears here, no matter Rhodes, Serek or Keller can't help but coldly snorted. 听到这里,不管是罗德,塞雷克还是凯勒都不由的冷哼一声。 Clinton originally is the Moon Dukedom person, runs Kingdom of Light as the traitor, how many year of watch-dogs this has worked as then cockily what diplomacy runs to represent own Master to publish to protest, worked as itself a thing really? 克灵顿原本是穆恩公国的人,作为背叛者跑去光之国也就罢了,这才当了几年看门狗就神气活现的跑回来代表自己的主人发表什么外交抗议,真把自己当个东西了？ Where the traitors are unpopular. 背叛者在哪里都是不受欢迎的。 „He thinks that Emerald Tears Mercenary Group destruction as well as Frank Captain accident/surprise is missing with you are related, is Kingdom of Light enjoys the high reputation family member situated in Frank Captain, this matter so will not be perhaps easy to end, listens to his tone, thinks in soon, Kingdom of Light has the possibility officially to propose the note to our country, the request investigates you and your Mercenary Group.” “他认为翡翠之泪佣兵团的毁灭以及佛兰克团长的意外失踪和你有关,介于佛兰克团长是光之国享有盛誉的家族成员,这件事恐怕不会这么容易结束,听他的口气,想必在不久之后,光之国有可能正式向我国提出照会,要求调查你和你的佣兵团。” This may really be interesting. 这可真是有趣。 Rhodes eyebrow raised, he finally understands now, Krause invited one of reasons oneself came. 罗德挑了下眉头,他现在总算明白,克劳泽邀请自己来的原因之一了。 „This is the absolutely groundless complaint, I think that I do not need the matter that for does not have is worried.” “这是毫无根据的控诉,我想我没必要为了不存在的事情而苦恼。” Speaking righteously that Rhodes said that a stop and hesitates does not have, probably initially died that bad luck ghost under his sword completely is strange passer-by armor. 罗德说的义正词严,一点停顿和迟疑都没有,好像当初死在他剑下的那个倒霉鬼完全是个陌生的路人甲似的。 „Is very good, youngster must have such imposing manner.” “很好,年轻人就要有这样的气势。” Hears Rhodes' to reply, Krause laughed to pat his shoulder. 听到罗德的回答,克劳泽大笑着拍了拍他的肩膀。 „You do not need extremely to be worried, this after all is the Moon Dukedom internal affairs, the Kingdom of Light manages also has the limit again widely. Moreover here, but Parfield, is not Barcel that mouse nest, they want to do the wind to do the rain in my domain, but must ask me to agree first, in any event, you do is very good ............” “不过你也不用太过担心,这毕竟是穆恩公国的内部事务,光之国管的再宽也是有限度的。而且这里可是帕菲尔德,不是巴塞那个老鼠窝,他们想在我的地盘上搞风搞雨,还得先问问我同不同意,无论如何,你做的都很不错…………” Said here, Krause has stopped moment, afterward, his meaningful raising the head, is gazing at present Rhodes. 说道这里,克劳泽停顿了片刻,随后,他意味深长的抬起头来,注视着眼前的罗德。 „Therefore, I have a request, needs your help, but also expected that do not reject.” “所以,我有个请求,需要你的帮助,还期望你不要拒绝。” Hears these words, Rhodes silent for a moment. 听到这句话,罗德沉默片刻。 „Please say.” “请讲。” „Is this.” “是这样的。” After obtaining Rhodes' replied, Krause quickly changes enforces. 得到了罗德的回答之后,克劳泽很快就变的严肃起来。 „Recently reported according to my subordinate, including virtue mountain range nearby village, was violated by undead creature.” “最近根据我的部下报告,在洛连德山脉附近的村庄,受到了不死生物的侵害。” „undead creature?” “不死生物？” Hears here, Serek somewhat surprised started talking. 听到这里,塞雷克有些惊讶的开口说道。 „Right, undead creature.” “没错,不死生物。” Krause very definite nodded. 克劳泽很确定的点了点头。 „Although I do not have personally to see, but listened to Emissary saying that should be a similar ghost Specter kind of thing, they appeared and disappeared in the area every night, has brought very big injury to there person, although I also sent the locally-stationed forces to go to help, however had little effect. Therefore I hope that can have professional to act to help, when excellence of your Starlight Mercenary Group facing undead creature is other Mercenary Group does not compare, moreover now Parfield Area various Mercenary Group lose seriously, suddenly, I could not find better helper, therefore, I hope that you can help their destination disaster.” “虽然我没有亲眼见过,但是听使者说,应该是类似鬼魂幽灵一类的东西,它们每天晚上都在当地出没,给那里的人带来了很大的伤害,虽然我也派了当地驻军前去帮忙,但是收效甚微。因此我希望能够有专业人士出面帮忙,你们星光佣兵团面对不死生物时的卓越表现是其他佣兵团比不上的,而且现在帕菲尔德地区的各佣兵团都损失惨重,一时间,我也找不到更好的协助者,因此,我希望你们能够帮他们去处这个灾祸。” Said here, Krause has stopped, afterward he looked to Serek. 说道这里,克劳泽停顿了下,随后他望向塞雷克。 „Mr. Serek, I knew recently the Mercenary Association prohibition rule, perhaps but as the administrative officer, I could not wait for such long time, after all there villagers were being violated by undead creature, if the recreation time passed really has made a move again, perhaps already without enough time. Moreover I think that you are also very clear, our Church influence is not very strong, otherwise not whatever undead creature will wreak havoc such long time.” “塞雷克先生,我知道最近佣兵协会的禁令,但是作为政务官,我恐怕等不了这么长的时间,毕竟那里的村民正在受到不死生物的侵害,如果真的休养期过了再出手的话,恐怕已经来不及了。而且我想你也很清楚,我们这里的教会势力并不算很强,不然的话也不会任凭不死生物肆虐这么长的时间了。” „I can certainly understand, Mr. Krause.” “我当然可以理解,克劳泽先生。” Serek hurried nodded. 塞雷克急忙点了点头。 „Since is administrative officer's order, our Mercenary Association can also act at one's discretion, this aspect asked you to feel relieved.” “既然是政务官的命令,我们佣兵协会也是可以酌情处理的,这方面请您放心。” „Reward is paid by our Deep Rock City, I believe that certainly will let satisfaction, moreover as the compensation, I can pay you 50% rewards in advance, after the remaining parts everybody completed the quest return, pays again, how like this do you think?” “报酬由我们深石城来支付,我相信一定会让各位满意的,而且作为补偿,我可以预先支付你们一半的报酬,剩下的部分等各位完成任务归来之后再付,这样你觉得如何？” Facing the inquiry of Krause, Rhodes had not replied immediately, he has drunk first up. black tea, this leisurely and carefree overlapping both hands, sits on the sofa, two eyes slightly narrowed cups 面对克劳泽的询问,罗德并没有立刻回答,他先一口气喝完了杯中的红茶,这才悠闲的交叉双手,坐在沙发上,两只眼睛微微眯起。 „If I have not guessed that wrong, proposed that aid request, should be the High Cliff Village resident. Mr. Krause?” “如果我没有猜错的话,提出援助请求的,应该是高崖村的居民吧。克劳泽先生？” ! # !# " " = " _ " >\; " target="_blank">\;www.piaotian.com" = " _ " >\; : // " >\; target="_blank">\;http://www.piaotian.com">\;
