The silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate restored again in those days lively and makes noise, as if beforehand coup d'etat and bloody battle do not exist general. 银月城再次恢复了往日的繁华和喧闹,仿佛之前的政变和血战都并不存在一般。 But the person with high aspirations can actually feel entirely different makings from half elf people faces, compared with before, as if traded a race thoroughly. 但有心人却能从半精灵民众脸上感受到一种截然不同的气质,与之前相比,仿佛彻底换了一个种族。 Lawrence Uman felt this change. 劳伦斯・乌曼就感受到了这种变化。 As the Uman family's first wife's eldest son, the first position successor of earlship, Viscount Lawrence had come several silver semi-circular protective walls outside the main city gate, after that time half elves saw him, the back also bent very lowly, but not like the present, although the attitude was still respectful, but has actually taken a neither arrogant nor servile flavor. 作为乌曼家族的嫡长子,伯爵爵位的第一顺位继承人,劳伦斯子爵曾经来过几次银月城,那时的半精灵们见到他后,腰杆子还弯得很低,而不像现在,虽然态度仍然恭敬,但却已经带上了一丝不卑不亢的味道。 „Sorry, viscount Sir, the grain of our chamber of commerce has been scheduled by the Angelie family completely ahead of time.” “抱歉,子爵大人,我们商会的粮食已经全部被安格列家族提前预定了。” Also is the Angelie family! 又是安格列家族！ Viscount Lawrence a depression, he almost went all over the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate big or small chamber of commerce for these days, the discovery all had actually acted swiftly to get there first by the Angelie family unexpectedly. 劳伦斯子爵一阵郁闷,他这几天几乎走遍了银月城的大小商会,却发现竟然全都已经被安格列家族捷足先登了。 Thinks attitudes and some indistinct suggestions that several -and-a-half elf aristocrats who beforehand visiting, the opposite party keeps at a respectful distance, Viscount Lawrence is stroking gently the chin, sighed secretly: 想到之前拜访的几位半精灵贵族,对方敬而远之的态度和一些隐约的暗示,劳伦斯子爵摩挲着下巴,暗自叹道: „Colin Angelie, now silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate actual master?” “柯林・安格列,如今银月城真正的主人么？” ...... …… „Viscount Sir, outside has a Viscount Lawrence who says is Count Uman the eldest son requested that pays a visit you.” “子爵大人,外面有一位自称是乌曼伯爵长子的劳伦斯子爵请求拜见您。” Colin gawked staring, obviously has not thought that in person who the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate can also meet the Uman family, hesitation moment, he gave a hand signal at will, hints please come in the opposite party. 柯林愣了愣,显然没想到在银月城还能遇上乌曼家族的人,沉吟片刻,他随意做了个手势,示意将对方请进来。 Viscount Lawrence is handsome graceful young people, roughly 20 years old, have one pair with his father Count Uman the same wine red pupil, the corners of the mouth is hanging the impeccable smile, every action and every movement are well-mannered, really has the Count eldest son's manner very much. 劳伦斯子爵是一位英俊优雅的年轻人,约莫二十来岁,有着一双跟他父亲乌曼伯爵一样酒红色的瞳孔,嘴角挂着无可挑剔的微笑,一举一动都彬彬有礼,确实很有伯爵长子的派头。 But Colin actually looks at the opposite party is not pleasing to the eyes in any case, he had not forgotten, this Uman family had enormous suspicion once Yinmou to assassinate itself. 但柯林却横竖瞧对方不顺眼,他可是一直没忘记,这个乌曼家族有极大的嫌疑曾阴谋刺杀过自己。 Naturally, in the surface, Colin ships out a cordial the attitude: „Viscount Lawrence, welcome to the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate!” 当然,表面上,柯林还是装出一副亲切友好的态度:“劳伦斯子爵阁下,欢迎来到银月城！” „ Viscount Angelie, thank your entertainment! “安格列子爵阁下,感谢您的招待！ My father has said, you are a military rare talent, has not thought that was so about to be proven. A silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate war, you to ride the army remnant army and half elf silver moon guards black win the brilliance deeds of eastern boundary Pegasus regiment to spread over the northern boundary, recited Poet roaming to sing your name innumerably! ” 我父亲一直都说,您是一位军事奇才,没想到这么快得到了验证。银月城一战,您以黑骑军残军和半精灵银月卫队大胜东境天马军团的光辉事迹已经传遍了北境,无数吟游诗人都在传唱着您的名字！” The expression of praise in the mouth said from Viscount Lawrence, on the delicate and pretty face has the sincere smile, even knew perfectly well that was the pleasantries, but let the thought highly person feels his sincerity. 赞美的言辞从劳伦斯子爵口中说出,俊美的脸上带着真诚的微笑,即便明知那是客套话,但还是让被恭维的人感受到他的诚挚。 „You overpraised, the officers who a silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate war, mainly depends on are brave in battle, haven't I really striven.” Colin invited the opposite party to sit down in the round table with a smile, and made the maidservant send the coffee. “您过誉了,银月城一战,主要还是靠的将士们英勇善战,我实在没出什么力。”柯林笑着邀请对方在圆桌边坐下,并让侍女送来咖啡。 Viscount Lawrence is savoring the coffee, while is sizing up the ornaments in palace, as if deeply attracts by these murals and sculpture, some little time shows the satisfactory smile, as if obtained enormous satisfaction from the connoisseurship. 劳伦斯子爵一边品味着咖啡,一边打量着殿中的摆设,似乎被那些壁画和雕塑深深吸引,好一会儿才露出满意的微笑,仿佛从鉴赏中获得了极大的满足。 Colin did not have such connoisseurship, in his opinion, these great pictures and sculpture might as well changed into the gold coin solidly...... 柯林就没有这样的鉴赏能力了,在他看来,这些名画和雕塑还不如换成金币实在…… „Does not know that Lawrence comes the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, what matter has? If there are what me to be able to help, might as well spoke frankly.” “不知道劳伦斯阁下前来银月城,是有什么事？如果有什么我能帮上忙的,不妨直说。” „ Actually is this, you should also hear, the northern boundary is encountering the famine at present, in the Uman family territory is certainly no exception, therefore, the father this time sends me to come the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, wants to purchase a number of grain to go back, by solution urgent matter. “其实是这样的,想必您也应该已经听说了,北境目前正在遭遇饥荒,乌曼家族领地内当然也不例外,所以,父亲这次派我来银月城,就是想购买一批粮食回去,以解燃眉之急。 However, for these days I went all over the major chambers of commerce of silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, the discovery grain had actually been purchased ahead of time by you. Therefore, this is thick the face to come, wants to buy some grain to you. ” 不过,这几天我走遍了银月城的各大商会,却发现粮食已经被您提前收购一空了。所以,这才厚着脸前来,想向您买一些粮食。” Colin puts down the coffee cup, shows an awkward expression intentionally: 柯林放下咖啡杯,故意露出一副为难的表情: „This. Actually I am willing to help the Uman family, after all our two are also the relations by marriage. However, grain shortfall truly some in Angelie family territory are too big, even if by the grain reserves of present silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate , can only be reluctantly sufficient, therefore......” “这样啊。其实我是非常愿意帮助乌曼家族的,毕竟我们两家也算姻亲。但是,安格列家族领地中的粮食缺口确实有些太大,哪怕以现在银月城的粮食储备,也只能算是勉强够用,所以……” Hears Colin's shifting responsibility onto others, Viscount Lawrence in the surface is also maintaining the smile, but has scolded at heart- 听到柯林的推诿,劳伦斯子爵表面上还保持着微笑,但心里早就骂开了- The agricultural level of half elf kingdom is world-famous, the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate also consistently has the name of empire granary, north food supply half that in those days in half elf kingdom produced the boundary had more than enough to spare, now unexpectedly says only enough supplied a viscount to lead reluctantly? 半精灵王国的农业水平天下闻名,银月城也一向有帝国粮仓之称,往日里半精灵王国出产的粮食供应半个北境都绰绰有余,现在居然说勉强只够供应一个子爵领？ Deceives the ghost! 骗鬼呢！ „Viscount Sir, I can understand your awkwardness. However, the Uman family truly needs to help now, this, so long as you are willing to find some grain to sell to us, the high price I can accept.” “子爵大人,我能理解您的为难。不过,乌曼家族现在确实需要帮助,这样吧,只要您愿意匀出一部分粮食来卖给我们,多高的价格我都可以接受。” In Colin heart one happy, waits is being your words! 柯林心中一喜,等着就是你这句话！ His time a grain that monopolized the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, besides supplying the viscount leads, the part that are many planned to sell out to make a wealth, since now has the fool to walk, he will not be certainly polite. 他这次垄断了银月城的粮食,除了供应子爵领之外,多出的部分本就打算卖掉发笔财,现在既然有冤大头找上门来,他当然不会客气。 „, You looked on as an outsider. Since the Uman family so lacks the grain, I will certainly not see somebody in danger and do nothing, but I will not take advantage of somebody, deferred to the current price on market to sell to you to be good.” “咳咳,您见外了。既然乌曼家族如此缺粮,我当然不会见死不救,不过我也不会趁人之危,就按照市场价卖给你们好了。” „Many thanks viscount Sir!” Viscount Lawrence expressed gratitude hastily. “多谢子爵大人！”劳伦斯子爵连忙道谢。 However he actually understands, this so-called „current price on market” definitely is not the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate current price on market, but is north the current price on market of boundary. 不过他心里却明白,这个所谓的“市场价”肯定不是银月城的市场价,而是北境的市场价。 But north present the grain price of boundary already rising heaven...... 但现在北境的粮价都已经涨上天了…… This also had a face saying that „won't take advantage of somebody”? 这还有脸说“不会趁人之危”？ Colin however carries the coffee cup leisurely, said with a smile: „I will arrange the person to consult with you, the concrete business detail, you reached an agreement with him.” 柯林施施然端起咖啡杯,笑道:“我会安排人跟你接洽,具体的买卖细节,你就跟他商量好了。” „Good.” Viscount Lawrence has no alternative, must nod should under. “好的。”劳伦斯子爵别无选择,只得点头应下。 Afterward, he also asked: „Viscount Sir, taking the liberty asked that when did you start to return to the northern boundary?” 随后,他又问道:“子爵大人,冒昧的问一下,您何时启程返回北境？” „Tomorrow was the coronation ceremony of Queen Aisha, I plan to return after attending the ceremony.” “明日就是艾莎女王的加冕典礼了,我计划会在观礼之后返回。” Viscount Lawrence as if no accident/surprise, but reminded with a smile: „Viscount Sir, northern boundary some were not peaceful recently, you go back, but must add carefully.” 劳伦斯子爵对此似乎没有意外,只是笑着提醒道:“子爵大人,最近北境有些不太平,您回去的时候,还要多加小心。” Colin corners of the mouth appear wipe to sneer: „Has rides the army to escort black, whom I must have a look at to have the courage but actually to have my idea.” 柯林嘴角浮现一抹冷笑:“有黑骑军护送,我倒要看看谁有胆子打我的主意。” „, Right! Was I considers thoroughly!” Viscount Lawrence taps the head, loses says with a smile. “啊,没错！是我多虑了！”劳伦斯子爵一拍脑袋,失笑道。 Drank a coffee, Viscount Lawrence opened the mouth saying: „Viscount Sir, does not know that you had heard these days a rumor that spreads in the northern boundary?” 喝了口咖啡,劳伦斯子爵又开口道:“子爵大人,不知您有没有听说过这段时间里在北境流传的一个谣言？” „What rumor?” “什么谣言？” „Rumor said, the famine of this north boundary actually stems from a strategy of Duke St. Hilde.” “谣言说,这次北境的饥荒其实是源于圣希尔德公爵的一个计策。” In Colin heart moves, has understood, but in the surface asked calmly: „What strategy?” 柯林心中一动,已经明白过来,但表面上却不动声色地问道:“什么计策？” „Initially Troll broke through the northern defense line to invade the northern boundary center, is actually a play that duke Sir performs in intentionally, the goal is to lull Troll, lures the snake from its hole, thus rides the opportunity that the army create fight to win black.” “当初巨魔突破北方防线侵入北境腹地,其实是公爵大人故意演的一场戏,目的就是要麻痹巨魔,引蛇出洞,从而给黑骑军制造一战而胜的机会。” Colin drinks the coffee silent, in the heart is actually criticizing, isn't this strategy that your father Count Uman first says? Now how wants to fling the pot to give Duke St. Hilde? 柯林沉默地喝着咖啡,心中却在暗骂,这不是你老子乌曼伯爵首先提出来的计策吗？怎么现在想甩锅给圣希尔德公爵？ „You did not say, is this rumor? That estimate not many credibility.” “你不是说了,这是个谣言吗？那估计没多少可信度。” „Yes. However, if this rumor real, viscount Sir, you thought that Duke St. Hilde does want to be responsible for this famine?” “是啊。不过,万一这个谣言是真的,那子爵大人,您觉得圣希尔德公爵是不是要对此次饥荒负责？” Colin blinks, the silent moment, a face said suddenly seriously: „If, Duke St. Hilde truly should be responsible for this reason.” 柯林眨了眨眼,沉默片刻,忽然一脸郑重地说道:“如果是真的,那圣希尔德公爵确实应该为此负责。” Hears Colin's reply, Viscount Lawrence showed the sincere smile finally. 听到柯林的回答,劳伦斯子爵总算露出了真挚的笑容。 Afterward two people also chatted several at will, Viscount Lawrence then said goodbye to depart on own initiative. 随后两人又随意聊了几句,劳伦斯子爵便主动告辞离去。 Looks back that the opposite party goes far away gradually, Colin has been able to confirm- 看着对方渐渐远去的背影,柯林已经可以确认- Storm, will soon sweep across the northern boundary! 一场风暴,即将席卷北境！
