In the plain area, the gap of this two kinds commodity is very big.” “我很期待,”灰精灵雯娜微笑起来,轻轻颔首,接着问道,“另外我们的王想确认一件事,第二批纺织品以及炼金药剂大概要什么时候才能供货？在平原地区,这两样商品的缺口都很大。” „alchemy medicine we can supply momentarily massively, Western Region has built up Alchemy Factory, as for coming from the Typhon textile......” Baldwin Franklin is somewhat pinching the chin awkwardly, „ you also know that must undergo the long transportation process, on a number of samples motorcade relay haulage through Clearwater River and land transport/fortune from the east west, but Clearwater River large amount of river transportation have interrupted because of the seasonal variation now temporarily, but the railroad that the magical train needs...... this year is not possible to finish. “炼金药剂我们随时可以大量供应,西境已经建起炼金工厂,至于来自提丰的纺织品……”柏德文·法兰克林有些为难地捏着下巴,“您也知道,那要经历漫长的运输过程,上一批样品是通过白水河以及陆地车队接力运输才从东部运到西部,但现在白水河的大宗河运已经因季节变化暂时中断,而魔导列车所需的铁路……今年是不可能完工的。 „Naturally, even so we can supply few textiles, this at least can solve some gaps.” “当然,即便如此我们还是可以供应少量纺织品的,这至少能解决部分缺口。” „alchemy medicine can the sufficient supply solve half of problems,” Wenna said with a smile, „as for the textile...... we understood your difficulty, must transport/fortune from the east the bulk cargoes to the west thinks that is also the extremely difficult matter.” “炼金药剂能足量供应就已经解决了一半的问题,”雯娜笑着说道,“至于纺织品……我们理解您的难处,要把大宗货物从东部运到西部想想也是极为艰难的事情。” At this point, this Grey Elf clan and tribe leaders, then the tone naturally changed the topic suddenly: „Moreover, since you mentioned a moment ago ‚the magical train’, I also really did hear this strange noun...... you to tell its situation to me recently several times in detail?” 说到这里,这位灰精灵部族首领突然顿了顿,接着语气自然地转了话题:“另外,既然您刚才提到了‘魔导列车’,我最近还真是听到好几次这个古怪的名词……您能详细向我讲述一下它的情况么？” Baldwin corner of the mouth curled upwards slightly, is stroking gently the finger gently while has leaned the body: „? Are you interested in it?” 柏德文嘴角微微翘了起来,一边轻轻摩挲着手指一边倾过身体:“哦？您对它感兴趣？” „Can transport/fortune entire Empire the huge quantity of cargos fast . Moreover the cost sounds is very inexpensive, I think that no brain normal merchant will have no interest in it,” the Wenna voice said gently maturely, „, not only I am interested, our grey Elf King, even several other kings, are interested very much.” “能够将数量庞大的货物快速运过整个帝国,而且成本听上去还很低廉,我想没有哪个脑子正常的商人会对它没兴趣,”雯娜嗓音柔和成熟地说道,“不只是我感兴趣,就连我们的灰精灵王,甚至其他几位王,都很感兴趣。” „, I must report to you in detail,” on the Baldwin face is full the happy expression, to nearby sets at the frame to beckon, the magical train model of that fine return to original state then flies to his hand in steadily, „since first, we must ’ this concept start to say from ‚ magical power car......” “啊,那我就要详细向您介绍一下了,”柏德文脸上充盈着笑意,向旁边的置物架招了招手,那精致还原的魔导列车模型便平稳飞至他手中,“首先,我们要从‘魔导动力车辆’这个概念开始讲起……” ...... …… Mist Month is deep gradually, one year is welcoming end, in this special one year, this young and ancient state experienced too many things, too many transformations. 雾月渐深,一年正在迎来末尾,在这特殊的一年里,这个年轻而古老的国度经历了太多的事情,太多的变革。 In this year, being doomed to have many people and matters is recorded in the history, becomes in Human Race vast civilization pivotal labelling, in this year, is doomed to have many new things born in this world, changes the life of people, many old things were eliminated by the time quietly, and starts gradually to vanish from their original stages. 这一年,注定要有许多人和事被记录在历史中,成为人类浩瀚文明中一段举足轻重的标注,这一年,也注定要有很多新的事物诞生在这个世界,改变人们的生活,有很多旧的事物悄然被时代淘汰,并开始逐渐从它们原有的舞台上消失。 Ended a day of training, Ginna walked gradually on the back door slopeway of Windcaller camp, the wind from mountain forest has blown from her side, was not violent, actually extraordinary cold. 结束了一天的训练,金娜缓步走在唤风者营地的后门坡道上,来自山林的风从她身边吹过,并不猛烈,却出奇的冷。 In her mind is recalling today's special flight experience, felt that own mood in a short time is quite excited. 她脑海中回忆着今日特殊的飞行经历,感觉自己的心情短时间内还是颇为激动。 today, she was separated from the stage of the ground simulation and familiar mechanical operation finally, the magical machine flew the blue sky under assisting the help of trainer drove that named „Dragoon” for the first time, although short one hour of in the air CNC practice, that type and rode the Griffin difference really big experience still to make her impression profound. 在今天,她终于脱离了地面模拟和熟悉机械操作的阶段,第一次在辅助训练员的帮助下驾驶那名为“龙骑兵”的魔导机器飞上了蓝天,尽管只有短短一个小时的空中实训,那种与骑乘狮鹫区别甚大的体验仍然让她印象深刻。 Steadier, is more rapid, is agiler, without the steel and crystal of life constructed such as the bird general exquisite flight machinery, she with another receiving training soldier sat, in can ride three people „Dragoon” in cockpit, passed over gently and swiftly the Dark Mountain Range northern sky under trainer's leadership, trembling that the air current brought transmits through the control handle to own, making her unable to bear the thinking of Griffin reins, actually felt entirely different. 更加平稳,更加迅速,更加敏捷,没有生命的钢铁和水晶构造成了如鸟儿一般精巧的飞行机械,她与另外一名受训士兵坐在能够乘坐三人的“龙骑兵”驾驶舱中,在训练员的带领下掠过黑暗山脉北麓的天空,气流带来的震颤通过操纵杆传达到自己手上,让她忍不住联想到狮鹫的缰绳,却又感觉截然不同。 Two resounding sounding transmitted from the , interrupted this new promote Dragoon Commander train of thought that she raised the head, discovered oneself have arrived at the southern end of Windcaller camp unknowingly, went to a special place. 两声响亮的鸣叫从附近传来,打断了这位新晋龙骑兵指挥官的思绪,她抬起头来,才发现自己已经不知不觉来到唤风者营地的南部尽头,来到了一处特殊的地方。 Several large-scale wooden lairs were placed under a row of plank awning, around the lair may also see compared with the adult thigh also thick parapet, the large-scale bird unique smell floats her nostril following the wind, she sees in these parapets to have the giant wing and sharp beak flashes past. 数个大型木质巢穴被安置在一排木板棚下,巢穴四周还可看到比成年人大腿还粗的栏杆,大型禽类特有的气味顺着风飘进她的鼻孔,她看到那些栏杆里面有巨大的羽翼和尖锐的喙一闪而过。 She arrived around the Griffin nest unexpectedly unknowingly. 她竟不知不觉走到了狮鹫巢附近。 The Windcaller camp trains the facility of Dragoon pilot, many are one of the Empire state-of-art facilities, old-style Griffin nest here many seems a little nondescript, but from the actual viewpoint, this is actually normal- the new-style magical flight vehicle just came out after all, besides several trainer who sends from the R & D department, the first group of pilots' training just started, particularly before then, in this training facilities is the trainer that can fly continually does not have, in this case, clipper transport duty between this camp and Imperial Capital naturally must be accomplished by the old-style flying unit. 唤风者营地是训练龙骑兵飞行员的设施,多少算是帝国的尖端设施之一,旧式的狮鹫巢在这里多少显得有点不伦不类,但从实际角度考虑,这其实是正常的-新式的魔导飞行器毕竟才刚刚问世,除了几个从研发单位派来的训练员之外,就连第一批飞行员的训练都才刚刚开始,尤其是在这之前,这座训练设施里更是连一架能飞的训练机都没有,在这种情况下,这座营地和帝都之间的快捷运输任务当然还要靠旧式的飞行单位来完成。 Therefore in Windcaller camp state-of-art flight vehicle training facilities, has held an old-style Griffin team. 因此唤风者营地这座尖端飞行器训练设施中,一直是保有一支旧式的狮鹫队伍的。 But perhaps soon, these Griffin must be disbanded...... 但恐怕用不了多久,这些狮鹫就要被遣散了吧…… In the Ginna heart exudes a feeling suddenly, before being unable to bear a lair that arrived at her to be familiar with. 金娜心中突然泛起一丝感慨,忍不住来到了她所熟悉的一座巢穴前。 Almost is instantaneous, a huge form then stands in the lair, that has the head of sharp beak section and white feather then appears before her. 几乎是瞬间,一个庞然的身影便在巢穴中站起来,紧接着那带有尖锐喙部和白色羽毛的头颅便出现在她面前。 „Hi, old companion.” “嗨,老伙计。” Female Knight puts out a hand, has stroked this old friend nape of the neck nearby feather gently. 女骑士伸出手,轻轻拂过自己这位老朋友脖颈附近的羽毛。 Griffin exuded the resounding cry. 狮鹫发出了响亮的叫声。 Ginna could not bear smile: „Your such spirit.” 金娜忍不住笑了起来:“你还是这么精神。” „Actually it is shouting abuse in public,” a sound conveys from side suddenly, „, moreover strange coarse.” “其实它是在骂街,”一个声音突然从旁边传来,“而且还怪难听的。” Some Ginna accidents/surprises have turned the head, actually saw that golden hair Instructor Elf the distant place is never walking. 金娜有些意外地转过头,却看到那位金发的精灵教官正从不远处走来。 Side Instructor Elf also follows to keep the black long hair and silent tranquil lady. 精灵教官身旁还跟着一位留着黑色长发、沉默恬静的女士。 That black hair lady today the auxiliary trainer who leads Ginna to complete the training, one of the technology experts from Magical Technology Research Institute sending. 那位黑发女士正是今天带领金娜完成训练的辅助训练员,是从魔导技术研究所派来的技术专家之一。 Ginna stands immediately, good standard and agile military salute: „Instructor Sonia, Maggie lady.” 金娜立刻站直,行了个标准而利落的军礼:“索尼娅教官,玛姬女士。” Sonia first responded to the Ginna military salute, later beckons with the hand: „Can relax, today's training ended.” 索尼娅先回应了金娜的军礼,随后摆摆手:“可以放松些,今天的训练结束了。” Ginna shouted the tone, her nearby Griffin yelled again resoundingly. 金娜呼了口气,她旁边的狮鹫则再次响亮地大叫起来。 Sonia stared this to send out giant bird one of the noise immediately: „Vulgar language!” 索尼娅顿时瞪了这发出噪音的巨大禽类一眼:“粗鄙之语！” Griffin raises the head, in that on face that is covering the feather, unexpectedly reveals a proud expression indistinctly. 狮鹫扬起脑袋,在那张覆盖着羽毛的脸孔上,竟然隐约流露出一丝自豪的表情来。 Ginna: „......”. 金娜:“……”。 ( Mother!!!!! (妈耶！！！！！ The words saying that retained the draft must dry up......, but tomorrow should also be able to strive for diligently one......) 话说存稿就要枯竭了……但明天应该还能争取努力一下……)
