#69: Project of failure


looks at little old man that in high spirits look, just like one runs out of rice and firewood two weeks of with great difficulty to find the condition of new work, before this image let Gawain, to extra mundane person of high skill impression obliterated that he produced- present Gawain has definitely been able to determine, opposite party that worn-out cotton robe loophole soft hat beard stretch out appearance was really not because what recluse lived, his was really poor...... 看着小老头那兴高采烈的模样,俨然就是一副断炊俩礼拜好不容易找到新工作的状态,这幅形象让高文之前对他产生的世外高人印象荡然无存-现在高文已经完全可以确定,对方那破旧布袍漏洞软帽胡子拉碴的样子真的不是因为什么隐士生活,他那是真穷…… Those images and scenes make Gawain unable to bear whisper with Amber in a low voice: „Do you find this person reliably...... really?” 此情此景让高文忍不住低声跟琥珀嘀咕:“你找来这人……真的可靠么?” Aiya you felt relieved that although the character was possibly strange, but did you also see not? At least Druid skill real- you are not that type will look that the person comes dies to speak the stodgy aristocrat of custom, don't you usually always speak talent most important?” “哎呀你放心啦,虽然性格可能奇怪了点,但你也看到了不是么?起码德鲁伊的本事是真的-你这个人也不是那种会看人出身又死讲规矩的迂腐贵族,你平常不是总讲人才最重要么?” Does not have to think the words that own usually whisper will be listened to by this Half-Elf at heart, and at this time also took to challenge oneself army, Gawain can only cast aside corner of the mouth reluctantly, and asked one while convenient curiously: Words said how you do know his?” 没想到自己平常嘀咕的话会被这个半精灵听进心里,并且这时候还拿出来将了自己一军,高文只能无奈地撇撇嘴角,并顺便好奇地问了一句:“话说你是怎么认识他的?” little old man and Amber that this Disgrace of Elves seems like perhaps is disgrace of Druids collects is not out of sorts together, but how Gawain still very curious these two knew that because merely was the shame of respective community therefore a meeting of minds? 一个看上去恐怕是德鲁伊之耻小老头琥珀这个精灵之耻凑在一块并不违和,但高文仍然很好奇这两人是怎么认识的,难道仅仅因为都是各自群体的耻辱所以就臭味相投了? Has not actually thought that a few words of Gawain whisper were heard by nearby little old man in a low voice, this ear also very easy-to-use Druid turning head smiles: Lord, I and Amber foster father, but the old friend, this small girl is my looks at is long, she must call me an uncle by the rank......” 却没想到高文低声嘀咕的一句话被旁边的小老头听见了,这位耳朵也很好使的德鲁伊扭头嘿嘿一笑:“大人,我与琥珀的养父可是老相识,这小丫头可是我看着长起来的,论辈分她得叫我一声叔叔……” Amber shows the whites of the eyes immediately: Also wants to make me call your uncle on your no elder look fellow?” 琥珀立刻翻个白眼:“就你这毫无长辈模样的家伙也想让我叫你叔叔?” So that's how it is, you have this origin.” Gawain understands clearly nods, he listens to Amber to raise her foster father, knows that is Human Race Stalker- actually mixes in floor Thief. “原来如此,你们还有这份渊源。”高文则了然地点了点头,他听琥珀提起过她的养父,知道那是一个人类潜行者-其实就是混在底层的盗贼 Amber is saying self-effacingly: „Before this fellow, is ripe very with my foster father, their during that time is also flaunting what Night Walker banner, the preparation, when Southern Region fiercest Thief, but a fame has not mixed.” 琥珀摇头晃脑地说着:“这家伙以前跟我养父熟得很,他们当年还打着个什么夜幕行者的旗号,准备当南境最厉害的盗贼,不过一点名气都没混起来。” Gawain subconsciously knits the brows, looks to little old man: „Had you also worked as Thief before?” 高文下意识皱了皱眉,看向小老头:“你以前还当过盗贼?” „The during that time matter, the during that time matter,” little old man beckoned with the hand again and again, „the present is not dry, my these years doing was the proper job.” 当年的事了,当年的事了,”小老头连连摆手,“现在已经不干了,我这些年做的都是正经营生。” Gawain feels amusing: Also is when because Thief cannot mix the line, therefore transferring?” 高文觉得有趣:“也是因为当盗贼混不下去所以转的行?” Because craftsmanship too moist,” Amber shows the whites of the eyes in side, a face disdains, he steals the thing of deceased person to be discovered, but also was beaten savagely, inborn is not when Thief material, naturally is not when Druid material, now seems like not the material of antique expert and chef.” “因为手艺太潮呗,”琥珀在旁边翻了个白眼,一脸不屑,“他去偷死人的东西都能被发现,还被暴打一顿,天生就不是当盗贼的料,当然也不是当德鲁伊的料,现在看来也不是当古董专家和厨子的料。” Gawain stares: How steals the thing of deceased person to be discovered?” 高文一愣:“偷死人的东西怎么被发现的?” Mainly was side also stood at that time sweep the graves more than 200......” “主要是当时旁边还站了两百多个扫墓的……” little old man can only smile at the same time embarrasedly, clearly, although as an elder, but he attitude to Amber is very amiable, by opposite party such ridicule perhaps was not one time twice, particularly now in this topic, Amber has the energy to have the qualifications to tease his Thief craftsmanship especially: After all he stole the thing of deceased person to be beaten savagely, but Amber not only deceased person stealing, but also lived to the lane this deceased person while convenient...... 小老头只能在一边讪讪地笑着,很明显,尽管身为长辈,但他对琥珀的态度着实很平易,被对方这样吐槽恐怕也不是一次两次了,尤其是如今在这个话题上,琥珀尤其有底气有资格调侃他的盗贼手艺:毕竟他偷死人的东西被暴打了一顿,而琥珀不但把死人给偷出来,还顺便把这个死人给弄活了…… Although that situation is not considered as at that time stealing...... 虽然当时那情况也不算是“偷”的…… After chatting several, Gawain suddenly conscious to forgetting a very essential matter: Right, has not known how your name did call?” 闲谈几句之后,高文突然意识到忘了一件很关键的事:“对了,还不知道你的名字如何称呼?” little old man according to chest good nondescript formality: Pittman Lauren is glad to work for you very much. You called my Pittman directly on the line.” 小老头手按胸口行了个不伦不类的礼节:“皮特曼·劳伦很乐意为您效劳。您直接称呼我皮特曼就行。” Very good, Pittman, you can first rest, my Wait arrangement person leads you to go to the dwelling. This place you also saw, all also in the pioneering stage, the housing conditions possibly are also not very good, so long as you and my citizens same effort, here quick will be an abundant and comfortable new home.” “很好,皮特曼,你可以先休息一下,我等下安排人带你去住处。这个地方你也看见了,一切都还在草创时期,居住条件可能还不是很好,但只要你和我的领民们一样努力,这里很快就会是一个富足而舒适的新家了。” Pittman Lauren smile like flower: For these sparkling cutie, my certain spare no effort.” 皮特曼·劳伦笑颜如花:“为了那些亮晶晶的小可爱,我一定尽心竭力。” This mixed study Druid follows the Gawain arrangement received and instructed personnel to leave the tent, left behind Amber to look at each other in blank dismay with Gawain, after paying attention to periphery atmosphere slightly, Miss Half-Elf sneaked off on the preparation awkwardly with a smile, was held by Gawain: Where on goes?” 这位杂学型德鲁伊跟着高文安排的接引人员离开了营帐,留下琥珀高文面面相觑,稍微关注了一下周围气氛之后,半精灵小姐尴尬地笑着就准备开溜,却被高文一把抓住:“上哪去?” I help the patrol camp peripheral!” Amber is stamping one's foot shouts, yeah you let loose me!” “我去帮忙巡逻营地周边!”琥珀跳着脚嚷嚷,“哎你放开我!” First explained that digs 700 years of antique what's the matter- I have not forgotten these words.” “先解释一下‘挖出来个七百年的老古董’是怎么回事吧-我还没忘这句话呢。” Hey-” “噫-” All of camp are stepping onto the right track, but not all things will be problem-free. 营地的一切都在走上正轨,但并非所有的事情都会一帆风顺。 In a workshop area courtyard, the Rebecca looks at present thing is in a daze. 在工坊区西侧的一座院子里,瑞贝卡看着眼前的东西发呆。 In front of her had a style strange dry kiln, the dry kiln the mud of quartz sand laid with mortar with the fireproof brick and combination, the great bowl that probably backed off on the ground, great bowl both sides described for warming and controlling simplistic rune of firepower, but the bottom was one just opened, originally with the kiln gate that the balling up got up. Brick kiln that its style is a little used to bake bricks probably, the thing that but inside burns is actually not a brick. 她面前有一座样式古怪的炉窑,炉窑用耐火的砖和混杂了石英砂的泥浆砌成,像是个倒扣在地上的巨碗,“巨碗”两侧描绘着用于增温和控制火力的简易符文,而底部则是一个刚刚被打开的、原本用泥封起来的窑门。它的样式有点像是用来烧砖的砖窑,但里面烧制的东西却不是砖。 What fever is the stone, or mixes to burn the lime stone powder and clay together, Ancestor said the thing that such calcine comes out mixes the gangue that side blacksmith shop brings again, after grinding to the powder, can turn into one new building material. 烧的是石头,或者说是把石灰石粉和粘土混合到一起来烧,老祖宗说这样煅烧出来的东西再混上铁匠铺那边带来的矿渣,磨成粉末之后就可以变成一种新的建筑材料。 But how to see how does not seem like successful. 但怎么看怎么不像是成功了。 The dry kiln front basket child is some fever the end product, that end product is a gray-black hardening thing, is seemingly dirty and ugly, in every large or small debris combines is being hard and brittle agglomeration, Rebecca has been trying forcefully portion debris and gangue grind to the powder together, then according to the instruction of ancestor mixes with the water it, the mixture that now the first batch make the test is dry, they turn into, likely decayed wood/blockhead one thing that broke off breaks to pieces. 炉窑前面的筐子里是一些烧出来的成品,那成品是一种灰黑色的板结物,看起来肮脏而丑陋,大大小小的碎屑里混杂着很多又硬又脆的结块,瑞贝卡已经试着强行把其中一部分碎屑和矿渣一同磨成粉,然后按照先祖的指示将其与水混合,如今第一批做测试的混合物已经干燥,它们变成了一掰就碎的、像朽烂木头一样的东西。 Is impossible to build the house. 根本不可能盖房子嘛。 Rebecca the chin is falling into the ponder with the finger top of the head, on the face dark dirty cannot attend to washing. 瑞贝卡用手指头顶着下巴陷入思考,脸上黑乎乎脏兮兮的也顾不上洗。 She over the two days not in blacksmith shop( the present had been changed name to as Cecil Steelworks) to supervise the installment of Magic Circuit V.1 and new-style furnace is runs to come here flint stone, Miss Viscountess well every day the larger part time is actually such dirty, however Knight and soldiers Feudal Territory on have no accident/surprise actually- after all past Miss Viscountess also all day long was similar style, practicing Fireball Spell smoked itself a face black is the common matter, sometimes also ran up to the grove and wolf hits to cajole body mud to come back, everyone be used to it...... 她这两天不是在铁匠铺(如今已经被改名为塞西尔钢铁厂)里监督魔网一号和新式熔炉的安装就是跑来这里烧石头,好好的子爵小姐每天一大半的时间却都是这样脏兮兮的,然而领地上的骑士和士兵们对此倒是没什么意外-毕竟以往的子爵小姐也成天是类似的画风,练火球术把自己熏一脸黑是常有的事,有时候还跑到林子里和狼打架弄一身泥回来,大家都习惯了…… But as for these past rarely had the opportunity to see the aristocrat on Feudal Territory, now can frequently with the civilians who Hetty and Rebecca and the others contacted, they actually are upon the jump busy Miss Viscountess to have big good opinion and closeness to this: Gawain is the powerful pillar/backbone and backer, but has the pressure on the civilians, Hetty intelligent and many benevolent, but many appears serious in speech and manner severe, only has Rebecca, this is running everywhere the help, does not have the rack, moreover girl that treats to everyone smile, almost makes everyone be able subconsciously to neglect her aristocrat status. 而至于那些以往很少有机会看到领地上的贵族,如今才能经常与赫蒂瑞贝卡等人接触的平民们,他们却对这位总是跑来跑去忙忙碌碌的子爵小姐产生了不小的好感和亲近感:高文是强有力的支柱与靠山,但对平民而言却过于有威压,赫蒂聪慧又不乏仁慈,但多少显得不苟言笑过于严厉,唯有瑞贝卡,这个到处跑着帮忙,毫无架子可言,而且对所有人都笑脸相待的姑娘,几乎让所有人都会下意识忽略掉她的贵族身份。 The important reason is Rebecca Big Fireball is used to burn off vegetation on wastelands and explode the stone is really expert...... 还有个重要原因则是瑞贝卡大火球用来烧荒和炸石头真的是一把好手…… Sees Rebecca to fall into the ponder, several civilians who side helps do not dare to speak to disturb. They did not understand that Lord Duke ordered to construct such place to be used for flint stone is what intention, waterwheel that but Duke ordered to construct has exposed the magical thing, the plan of camp was also quite wise, existence of that Druid in addition the smooth development of reclaiming wasteland work as well as recruited newly, everyone's matter to the Gawain arrangement quite believed that although could not see that flint stone was useful......, but acts accordingly always right. 看到瑞贝卡陷入思考,旁边帮忙的几个平民都不敢吭声打扰。他们也不理解那位公爵大人下令建造这么个地方用来烧石头是什么用意,但公爵所下令建造的水车已经展露了神奇之处,营地的规划也相当高明,再加上垦荒工作的顺利开展以及新招募来的那位德鲁伊的存在,大家对高文安排的事情都是相当信服的,虽然看不出烧石头有什么用……但照着办总是没错的。 Pondered diligently, Rebecca lifted the head finally, draws a conclusion: 努力思考了一番之后,瑞贝卡终于抬起了头,得出一个结论: Oneself are not suitable to ponder this. 自己不适合思考这个。 Therefore her small hand wields: Is lifting these things, takes to my ancestor to have a look!” 于是她小手一挥:“把这些东西抬着,带给我祖宗看看!” A moment later, Gawain saw that pile lifts to oneself in front of...... the thing of indescribable. 片刻之后,高文就看到了那一堆抬到自己面前的……不可名状之物。 „Is this...... cement that you burn ‚’?” His with astonishment looks at Rebecca, if not tells personally, he has almost no way these gray-black lumps of the impression in cement relates together. “这就是你烧出来的……‘水泥’?”他惊愕地看着瑞贝卡,如果不是自己亲自吩咐下去的,他几乎没法把那些灰黑色的坨坨跟印象中的“水泥”联系到一起。 Yeah? Originally did this thing call the cement?” Rebecca opened the eye, good strange name.” “哎?原来这东西叫水泥么?”瑞贝卡张大了眼睛,“好奇怪的名字。” Gawain does not have the time to explain that behind this noun has what meaning, although has the preparation of suffering setbacks early, but he had the subtle frustration at this time, but in seeing Rebecca vuggy rock that probably takes after another basket same stone, he confirmed this failure thoroughly. 高文却没功夫解释这个名词背后有什么含义,虽然早有受挫的心理准备,但这时候他还是产生了微妙的挫败感,而在看到瑞贝卡从另一个筐里拿出来的像是多孔岩一样的“石块”之后,他更是彻底确认了这次失败。 This according to the method that you said that mixed the later product the end product watering,” Rebecca is blinking the eye, truly was quick can congeal, moreover congealed later semblance looks at also with stone, but was in fact loose and brittle......” “这就是按您说的方法,将成品加水混合之后的产物,”瑞贝卡眨巴着眼睛,“确实是很快就能凝结,而且凝结之后外表看着也跟石头似的,但实际上又松又脆……” Rebecca finishes barely the words, Amber does not know that which corner drilled from: What thing loosen and crispness? I taste!” 瑞贝卡这边话音未落,一只琥珀就不知道从哪个犄角旮旯里钻了出来:“什么东西又松又脆?我尝尝!” Gawain presses in the opposite party the shadow conveniently, turns head to sigh to these dark lumps of: It seems like the failure.” 高文顺手把对方摁回阴影之中,扭头对着那些黑乎乎的坨坨叹了口气:“看来是失败了。” He confirmed over and over Rebecca operational procedure, confirmed that does not have the issue from the raw material to the producuction process, moreover he also understood that Rebecca adjusted the proportions and firepower , the calcine time various raw materials specially and other types of parameters, but also conducted several overlapping tests with four dry kilns, even has changed the limestone and clay of different quality of material and habitat, the result of however obtaining is similar. 他再三确认了瑞贝卡的操作流程,确认从原材料到制作过程都毫无问题,而且他还了解到瑞贝卡自己都特意调整了各种原材料的比例以及火力、煅烧时间等各种参数,还用四个炉窑进行了好几次交叉测试,甚至换过不同质地和产地的石灰石与粘土,然而得到的结果都差不多。 This world showed its specialness and malicious to Gawain again. 这个世界再一次向高文展现了它的特殊和恶意。 Doesn't the nature of material to, how many memory in these well-known native manufacture formulas have to use? 物质的性质对不上,记忆中那些广为人知的土制配方有几个是可以用的? Gawain decided that has the words of condition, with the thing of simplistic validative analysis in own mind knows to test, and while below this decision prepared for all tests announcing failure psychology. 高文决定有条件的话就把自己脑海中所知的、可以用简易方法验证的东西都测试一遍,并在下这个决定的同时就做好了所有测试都宣告失败的心理准备。 But at the same time, Rebecca looks at he, this with great difficulty can still add on everyone eagerly busy was actually defeated the girl completely has not as if thought is formula that” Gawain provides has the issue, but subconsciously sums up the issue on oneself: Lord Ancestor...... did I disappoint you?” 而与此同时,瑞贝卡还在眼巴巴地看着他,这个好不容易能帮上大家的忙却又失败了的女孩似乎全然没有想过是高文提供的“配方”有问题,而下意识地把问题归结在自己身上:“祖先大人……我让您失望了?” No, any experiment is a long process, particularly seeks for one new material time,” Gawain is shaking the head to sigh, you continue to try with different stones and earth come the calcine, I will give you again several possibilities the formula. This regards one long-term, has the work that the leisure can attempt, do not affect Steelworks that side progress on the line.” “不,任何试验都是个漫长的过程,尤其是寻找一种新材料的时候,”高文摇着头叹了口气,“你继续试试用各种不同的石头和土来煅烧,我会再给你几个可能的配方。就把这当成一个长期的、有闲暇就可以尝试的工作吧,别影响了钢铁厂那边的进度就行。”
