Chapter 214 Rhodes' visit 第214章罗德的来访 The sunlight of summer shines by the window on the desk, brings the faint trace hot intent, but sits the man before table has not actually cared, he is gazing at the document in hand dedicated, has shown the satisfactory smiling face. 夏日的阳光透过窗户照耀在书桌上,带来丝丝的热意,不过坐在桌前的男子却并没有在乎,他专注的注视着手中的文件,露出了满意的笑容。 Regarding Keller, this is a very good opportunity. 对于凯勒来说,这是一个非常好的机会。 Finally, Merchant Association refused Krause City Lord about requesting them cuts the ore price, resumed the request of market original condition. This also means that negotiated this to finish, but the matter that then had could be said as the wind and thunder enforces, merely after Merchant Association rejected the request of Krause City Lord three hours, was headed by Association President and Vice Guild Leader, 50 Association members by „deliberately were destroyed business Order” by city guard name arrest. Keller in side, he with own eyes looks at that time these fully-armed city guard are relentless merchants that these originally have a high and respected position pushes to the ground, ties up the string to them, another pulled out from the bosom does not know when has prepared the good assignment document to hand over in the hands of these agents. They have the Guild Leader secretary, the vice- executive officer, is as for Chamber of Commerce representative. Is only the time of a blink, they sat originally by the position that the vacancy came out, made a fresh start to guarantee the normal work of Merchant Association. 最终,商人协会拒绝了克劳泽城主关于要求他们降低矿石价格,恢复市场原状的要求。这也意味着谈判到此结束,而接下来所发生的事情可以说是风雷厉行,仅仅在商人协会拒绝克劳泽城主的要求三个小时之后,以协会长和副会长为首,足足有50名协会成员被城卫兵以“蓄意破坏商业秩序”的名义逮捕。凯勒当时就在旁边,他亲眼看着那些全副武装的城卫兵毫不留情的将那些原本养尊处优的商人们按倒在地,一手给他们绑上绳子,另外一手则从怀里掏出了不知道什么时候就已经准备好的任命书交到了那些代理人的手中。他们当中有会长的书记,副执行官,乃至于商会代表。仅仅只是一眨眼的功夫,他们就坐上了原本被空缺出来的职位,重新开始保证商人协会的正常运转。 This makes Keller also can't help but some at heart send coldly, clearly, Krause City Lord early seeped in Merchant Association, and earned these opponents' support, although entire Merchant Association most high-level personnel were seized, but has not actually brought affects ——— such view not to be perhaps correct slightly, the influence has, that in that afternoon, Merchant Association then will again limit the order the price to reduce, restored original normal level. 这一幕让凯勒也不由的有些心里发寒,很明显,克劳泽城主早已经渗透到了商人协会之中,并且获得了那些反对者的支持,整个商人协会虽然大多数高层人员都被抓捕,但是却没有带来丝毫影响———这样的说法或许并不正确,影响还是有的,那就是在当天下午,商人协会便重新将限制订购的价格降低了下来,恢复到了原本的正常水平。 This is makes Keller feel that fear, Guild Leader thinks they grasped entire Parfield Area business lifeline, therefore set the request securely. However they seriously have actually overestimated oneself importance, regarding this area, as if nobody is unreplaceable. 这正是让凯勒感觉到害怕的,会长以为他们掌握了整个帕菲尔德地区的商业命脉,所以有恃无恐的提出了要求。但是他们却严重高估了自己的重要性,对于这片地区而言,似乎没有什么人是不可替代的。 Including oneself is also same. 连自己也是一样。 Thinks of here, Keller can't help but shivered under the body. 想到这里,凯勒不由颤抖了下身体。 Because stood right the position when this time event, in Association raised the price counter-balances Association to enhance the influence that the price brought by the initial cost sell ore in the maximum degree as before, the Keller Family natural income was not small. As the repayment, Keller is appointed as Merchant Association temporarily acts Guild Leader, is responsible for grasping and regulating entire Merchant Association in the revolution and operation of Parfield Area. However Keller is very clear, if do enough splendid, then arrived at the year's end, oneself head „proxy” two characters will be removed, displacing becomes true „Guild Leader”. He eavesdropped on sound of the wind from Krause, the administrative officer as if intends to make Deep Rock City the new business center. If that was true, then Keller Family's will be also problem-free in the future. 因为在这次的事件中站对了位置,并且在协会提高价格时依旧以原价出售矿石才在最大程度上抵消了协会提高价格所带来的影响,凯勒家族自然收益不小。作为回报,凯勒被任命为商人协会的临时代理会长,负责掌握和调控整个商人协会在帕菲尔德地区的运转与操纵。不过凯勒很清楚,如果自己做的足够出色,那么到了年终,自己头上的“代理”两字就会被去掉,取而代之的成为真正的“会长”。他已经从克劳泽那边探听到风声,政务官似乎有意让深石城成为新的商业中心。如果真是这样的话,那么凯勒家族的未来也会一帆风顺。 Naturally, the premise is do not make the wrong choice the words. 当然,前提是自己不要做出错误选择的话。 Keller is not an ambitious person, his very clear Krause choice dispatches itself to go to connect with personally not only to guarantee Merchant Association continues to revolve normally, in indistinct was suggesting own strength to him, if he had slightly the line of bad misstep half steps, then can expect, in the near future, Keller office that leaf of decoration magnificent wooden door will be shoved open by heavily, the guard who then two wore steel armor entered the room according to arriving him in big strides in the place, but he can only desperate looks once subordinate or the trusted subordinate belt/bring the smiling face of victory was sitting in own position .................. This may absolutely not be the result of Keller hope, because the fates of his very clear these fellows, in Moon Dukedom, the treason are the strip grave offenses, any has the charge of relations unable to avoid the dead end with this. Naturally, regards your crime weight, at least has to you keeps the possibility of entire corpse. 凯勒并不是个雄心勃勃的人,他很清楚克劳泽选择派遣自己亲自前往交接不但是为了保证商人协会继续正常运转,同时也是在隐隐约约的向他暗示着自己的力量,如果他有稍微行差踏错半步,那么可以预想,就在不久的将来,凯勒办公室那扇装饰华丽的木门就会被重重推开,然后两个身穿钢甲的卫兵大踏步的走进房间把他按到在地,而他只能够绝望的看着自己曾经的部下或者亲信带着胜利的笑容坐在自己的位置上………………这可绝对不是凯勒希望的结局,因为他很清楚那些家伙的下场,在穆恩公国,叛国是条重罪,任何与此产生关系的罪名都免不了死路一条。当然,视乎你的罪行轻重而言,至少还是有给你留个全尸的可能性。 „thump thump thump.” “咚咚咚。” When Keller is lost in thought that suddenly knock resounds, this lets Keller can't help staring, afterward reflective raising the head, fortunately, he has not seen the fully-armed guard to shove open the scene that the gate walks in big strides, this made Keller can't help but smile bitterly, shook the head. 就在凯勒出神的时候,忽然一阵敲门声响起,这让凯勒不由一愣,随后反射性的抬起头来,幸运的是,他没有看见全副武装的卫兵大踏步的推开门走进来的场景,这让凯勒不由苦笑了一声,摇了摇头。 Oneself think were too many. 自己想的太多了。 „Comes.” “进来。” Thinks of here, Keller reorganized own clothes, afterward opened the mouth to call out, but was quick, an old steward then opened the door to enter the room, to Keller gave a deep bow. 想到这里,凯勒整理了一下自己的衣服,随后开口叫道,而很快,一个老管家便推开门走进了房间,向凯勒深深的行了一礼。 „Master, some people want to see you.” “主人,有人想要见您。” "Oh?" “哦？” Hears these words, Keller frowned, now own operating time, can the words, he does not want to receive any disturbs. 听到这句话,凯勒皱起了眉头,现在正是自己的工作时间,可以的话,他不想受到任何打搅。 „What person?” “什么人？” „He said that is Starlight Mercenary Group Captain, Mr. Rhodes Ellant.” “他自称是星光佣兵团的团长,罗德.艾兰特先生。” „Mr. Rhodes?” “罗德先生？” Heard this name, Keller has gawked. 听到这个名字,凯勒愣了一下。 „Why does he look for me?” “他为什么来找我？” Keller will propose that this question is not strange, although he and Rhodes are also some friendship, but each other not any special relations. Moreover as Mercenary Captain, what Rhodes is not too as if possible and has to be connected, but he looks for himself now, for what matter? 凯勒会提出这个疑问也并不奇怪,虽然他和罗德也算是有些交情,不过彼此并没有什么特别的关系。而且作为一个佣兵团长,罗德似乎也不太可能和自己有什么关联,但是他现在来找自己,又是为了什么事情？ „This I am not clear, Sir.” “这个我也不清楚,大人。” Facing issue that Keller asked suddenly, the old steward does not know how should reply. 面对凯勒突然提出的问题,老管家也不知道该如何回答。 „He only said that has matter to confirm, does Master, need me to ask him to leave?” “他只说是有事情想要确认一下,主人,需要我请他离开吗？” „Does not use.” “不用。” Keller shook the head, stands up. No matter what, Rhodes is also in Deep Rock City not a small influence influence, especially in mercenary, Starlight Mercenary Group prestige is also very high. Moreover Keller is also clear his Noble status, in addition at present is in Starlight Mercenary Group eldest young miss in that Shenia Family, nobody will despise this man. The time that Keller and Rhodes have to do is not long, but he knows that the opposite party is intelligent, moreover quite firm man of decision. In fact since Deep Rock City has fallen into the conflict, a lot are Keller in later through the clue that the clues deliberate obtain. However in his opinion, Rhodes seems to be inborn knows all these, in Mercenary Association entrance making a move of suddenly to Emerald Tears, was in afterward the competitions with other Mercenary Group, this youngster as if did not have anything is he does not know. Moreover Keller even guessed that the opposite party may come from Golden City, but looks at the Krause appearance, as if not like? 凯勒摇了摇头,站起身来。不管怎么说,罗德也算是深石城里一个不小的影响势力,特别是在佣兵之中,星光佣兵团的声望也很高。而且凯勒也清楚他的贵族身份,再加上目前身在星光佣兵团中的那位仙妮亚家族的大小姐,没有人会轻视这个男人。凯勒和罗德打交道的时间并不长,但是他已经知道对方是个非常聪明,而且相当坚决果断的人。事实上自从深石城陷入争端以来,很多事情都是凯勒在之后通过蛛丝马迹推敲才得到的线索。但是在他看来,罗德似乎天生就知道这一切,无论是在佣兵协会门口对翡翠之泪的忽然出手,还是在后来与其他佣兵团的竞争,这个年轻人似乎没有什么是他不知道的。而且凯勒甚至猜测对方有可能来自黄金城,不过看克劳泽的样子,似乎又不像？ The body of this youngster really has been full of the riddle. 这个年轻人的身上真是充满了谜团。 Although does not know that Rhodes looks for itself to have any matter, but according to this youngster disposition, definitely is the safe does not visit. 虽然不知道罗德找自己有什么事,不过按这个年轻人的性格,肯定是无事不上门的。 Does not know that was the good deed or the misdemeanor. 只是不知道是好事还是坏事了。 Thinks of here, Keller has not said anything, quick has issued the order to own old steward. 想到这里,凯勒没有多说什么,很快就对自己的老管家下达了命令。 „Leads me to see him.” “带我去见他。” When Keller goes to the living room under old steward's leadership, his eyes saw that to stand the form of armor weapon appreciated here to place in the living room corner. Sees this form, why does not know, Keller does not have the reason jumps at heart, afterward he was steady immediately the mind, then with a laugh walks up. 当凯勒在老管家的带领下来到客厅时,他一眼就看见了那个正站在客厅角落里欣赏这里摆放的盔甲武器的身影。看见这个身影,不知道为什么,凯勒没来由的心里一跳,随后他立刻稳了稳心神,接着笑呵呵的走上前去。 „Welcome your arrival, Mr. Rhodes, how today to have free time to want here?” “欢迎你的到来,罗德先生,今天怎么有空想要来我这里了？” „Hello, does not see for a long time, Mr. Keller.” “你好,好久不见,凯勒先生。” Hears greeting of Keller, Rhodes takes back from the armor the vision, afterward he looks to Keller, a slight nod, is greeted to him. But Keller has shown the warm smile, afterward puts out a hand, the invitation opposite party sits down. At this time rapid to Keller carried before servant that the one side waited for one cup of black tea ——— Rhodes' teacups had already placed the table, but looks like he as if has not moved. 听到凯勒的招呼,罗德将目光从盔甲上收回,随后他望向凯勒,微一点头,算是向他打了声招呼。而凯勒则露出了热情的微笑,随后伸出手去,邀请对方坐下。这时早在一旁等候的仆从迅速给凯勒端上了一杯红茶———罗德的茶杯早就放在了桌前,不过看起来他似乎一点都没有动过。 „Has not thought really you can look for me, what matter does may I ask have?” “真没有想到你会来找我,请问有什么事吗？” After both sides sit well, Keller then warm asked, but hears his inquiry, Rhodes not hesitant, a slight nod. 双方重新坐定之后,凯勒便热情的开口询问道,而听到他的询问,罗德也没有犹豫,微一点头。 „Right, I come to here to have the matter to confirm with you, Mr. Keller.” “没错,我来这里是有事想要和你确认一下,凯勒先生。” "Oh?" “哦？” Hears here, Keller slightly surprised. Before he had listened to the Rhodes' purpose in coming from old steward there, but does not understand that what he did approach himself to confirm? However he thinks, waves to hint own servant to leave the room, this asked. 听到这里,凯勒微微一愣。之前他已经从老管家那里听过了罗德的来意,不过还是不明白他来向自己确认什么？不过他想了一想,还是挥手示意自己的仆从离开房间,这才开口询问道。 „may I ask ............ What matter is Mr. Rhodes asks me to confirm?” “请问…………罗德先生是来找我确认什么事？” „Is this.” “是这样的。” Rhodes eyes narrowed, by the sofa, please stroke lightly is lying down the bright red long sword on own leg, why does not know, when Keller sees opposite party that slender finger has caressed the sword hilt lightly, he does not have the feel nape of the neck of reason one coldly, as if an invisible long sword has passed through own throat, nearly makes him cough. 罗德眯起眼睛,靠在沙发上,轻请抚摸着躺在自己腿上的鲜红长剑,不知道为什么,当凯勒看见对方那修长的手指轻抚过剑柄的时候,他没来由的感到脖颈一寒,仿佛一把无形的长剑贯穿了自己的喉咙般,险些让他咳嗽出来。 However Keller has borne, he takes up the teacup, has drunk slightly bitter and astringent black tea, forcefully has pressed that strange feeling. 不过凯勒还是忍住了,他拿起茶杯,喝了一口略显苦涩的红茶,硬生生的将那种古怪的感觉压了下去。 „Is this.” “是这样的。” The Rhodes' sound is very light, sounds as if not to have what issue, but Keller always felt that all around temperature as if slowly is dropping. 罗德的声音很轻,听起来似乎没有什么问题,不过凯勒总感觉四周的气温似乎正在缓缓下降。 „Before I once had made a bet with some bored people, this matter ............ Does Mr. Keller know?” “之前我曾经和一些无聊的人打过赌,这件事…………凯勒先生知道吗？” „This ............ Slightly heard.” “这个…………略有所闻。” Hears these words, Keller gawked, this replied. Rhodes and Barney gambling approximately already made the talk of the town under the exaggeration of person with high aspirations, although Keller has been very busy these days, but this matter itself he knows something. However isn't this matter between Mercenary Group? What relations also has with? 听到这句话,凯勒愣了一愣,这才回答道。罗德与巴尼的赌约在有心人的渲染下早就闹得满城风雨了,虽然这段时间凯勒一直都很忙,但是这件事本身他还是略知一二的。不过这不是佣兵团之间的事情吗？和自己又有什么关系？ „At this moment I was also open about the facts you, Mr. Keller, this time went to Black Stone Abyss, I needed massive flame scroll, when arrived at me to send for went to the market to purchase these scroll, discovery these things are actually bought up.” Said here, Rhodes overlapping both hands, in the eye has shown a happy expression. “事到如今我也不瞒你了,凯勒先生,这次前往黑石深渊,我需要大量的火焰卷轴,只不过到我派人去市场上购买这些卷轴时,却发现这些东西都被人买光了。”说道这里,罗德交叉双手,眼中露出了一丝笑意。 „Therefore pitiful Miss Marlene has to spend several days, made enough scroll with great difficulty for the use. Also was really to owing her luck, we can smooth safe departure Abyss, return to the surface. The side has Mage really very much to feel relieved that you said right?” “于是可怜的玛琳小姐只好自己花费了好几天的时间,好不容易才制造出了足够的卷轴用于使用。也真是对亏了她的福,我们才能够顺利平安的离开深渊,回到地表。身边有个法师果然还是很放心的,你说对吗？” „This ............ Naturally, Mr. Rhodes.” “这个…………当然了,罗德先生。” The response of Keller somewhat uncertain said that until now, he still did not make clear Rhodes to come to here and said that what relations these also did have? scroll? Our Keller Chamber of Commerce sells the ore, magic item and we may not have what relations. 凯勒有些疑惑的回应道,直到现在,他依然搞不清楚罗德来这里和自己说这些又有什么关系？卷轴？我们凯勒商会是卖矿石的,魔法物品和我们可没有什么关系啊。 „, When our battlefield cleanup, I have actually discovered many flame scroll from the bodies of beforehand these pitiful creatures, they store from Deep Rock City, moreover ——— — I have also discovered this.” “不过呢,在我们打扫战场的时候,我却从之前那些可怜虫的身上发现了不少的火焰卷轴,它们都是来自深石城的商铺,而且————我还发现了这个。” Saying, Rhodes puts out a hand, has placed on a ring the table, but sees this ring, Keller complexion to turn white suddenly. 说着,罗德伸出手去,将一枚戒指放在了桌上,而看见这枚戒指,凯勒的面色骤然发白。 „Mr. Keller, if I have not remembered incorrectly, your family does the ore business ......... Now planned to redo the magic scroll business? I went to these shops to confirm, above indeed is the Keller Family's mark, regarding this ......... I hope that can obtain an explanation.” “凯勒先生,如果我没有记错的话,贵家族是做矿石生意的吧………现在打算改做魔法卷轴的生意了吗？我已经去那些店铺确认过,上面的确是凯勒家族的印记,对此………我希望能够获得一个解释。” Said here, Rhodes retracting sofa came up again, two eyes shut slightly, is taking a look at the present man. 说道这里,罗德重新缩回沙发上去,两只眼睛微微闭起,打量着眼前的男人。 But Keller at this moment, is complexion pale. 而此刻的凯勒,已经是面色苍白了。 He knows certainly this ring from where, because this is daughter's ring. 他当然知道这枚戒指来自哪里,因为这正是自己女儿的戒指。 But now, Keller discovered finally, the matter was big. 而现在,凯勒终于发现,事情大了。 " " = " _ " >\; " target="_blank">\;www.piaotian.com" = " _ " >\; : // " >\; target="_blank">\;http://www.piaotian.com">\;
