Thump thump thump. 咚咚咚。 Steward Eamonn sounded front oak front door, reported the report: „Master, Sir Morison Count seeks an interview.” 管家伊蒙敲响了面前的橡木大门,禀报道:“老爷,莫里森伯爵大人求见。” „Asked him to come.” Colin's voice conveys from the gate. “请他进来吧。”柯林的声音从门内传来。 „Yes.” Eamonn shoves open the door, bows a ritual toward Count Morison, hints saying that „Count Sir, please.” “是。”伊蒙推开房门,朝莫里森伯爵躬身一礼,示意道,“伯爵大人,请。” Count Morison shows a faint smile toward Eamonn, then chinned up and chested out to walk into the study room. 莫里森伯爵朝伊蒙微微一笑,然后昂首挺胸走入了书房。 „Count Morison, welcome to Red Fort!” Colin moves forward to meet somebody with a smile, cordially shakes hand with Count Morison. “莫里森伯爵阁下,欢迎来到红堡！”柯林笑着迎了上去,与莫里森伯爵亲切握手。 „Viscount Angelie, thank your entertainment, hopes that my arrival has not added to you much is too troublesome.” “安格列子爵阁下,感谢您的招待,希望我的到来没有给您添太多麻烦。” This Count Morison seems like less than 20 -year-old, Colin also wants to be younger, although he tries hard to pretend a mature experienced appearance, but also gathered specially must, but among the graces revealed the obvious immaturity unavoidably. 这位莫里森伯爵看起来不到二十岁,比柯林还要年轻一些,虽然他努力装作一副成熟老练的模样,还特意蓄了须,但举手投足之间还是难免流露出明显的稚嫩。 „Naturally has not troubled. You can your honorable self visit Ice Rock City, is my being honored. Moreover regarding the loyal and heroic old Count, I am extremely admiring!” “当然没有麻烦。您能大驾光临冰岩城,是我的荣幸。而且对于忠烈的老伯爵,我一直都是极为钦佩的！” In Ke Linkou old Count, is on a Count Morison, is at present the grandfather of this young people. 柯林口中的老伯爵,就是上一任的莫里森伯爵,也是眼前这位年轻人的爷爷。 This old Count by Kann a Suduo knight sword assassinated in six months ago feudal lord conference, at that time Colin also at the scene, witnessed this staunch old Count people sound to bawl out the scene of feudal lord the numerous position preparations dispatched troops into battle to rebel against alone. 这位老伯爵是被卡恩・苏铎骑士一剑刺死在半年前的领主会议上,当时柯林也在现场,亲眼目睹了这位刚烈的老伯爵独自一人大声叱骂众位准备起兵反叛的领主的场景。 After the old Count dies, Morison family makes such young people inherit the position of Count, really is also has no alternative the action. 老伯爵死后,莫里森家族之所以让这么一位年轻人继承伯爵之位,实在也是无可奈何之举。 Morison family heir are not prosperous, old Count only then a son of first wife, but this son of first wife is actually injured serious in many years ago war, almost whole body paralysis. 莫里森家族子嗣不旺,老伯爵就只有一位嫡子,但这位嫡子却在多年前的一场战争中受伤甚重,几乎全身瘫痪。 The person who such a life is unable to take care of oneself definitely cannot inherit Morison family's title, therefore has by the eldest son of legal wife grandson of old Count, is only 18-year-old Sarcen Morison inherited the position of Count. 这样一位生活都无法自理的人肯定不能继承莫里森家族的爵位,于是只好由老伯爵的嫡长孙,也就是年仅18岁的赛肯・莫里森继承了伯爵之位。 „Thank your worry and commendation, if the grandfather knows that his sacrifice can so many approvals, certainly be able to rest in the heaven!” “感谢您的惦念和称赞,爷爷如果知道他的牺牲能够得到如此多的认可,一定会在天国得以安息！” After one exchanged greetings, Colin invited Count Morison to take a seat, and made the maidservant provide the coffee and dessert. 一番寒暄之后,柯林邀请莫里森伯爵入座,并让侍女送上咖啡和甜点。 „Count, does not know you to come from far away, actually behavior what matter?” “伯爵阁下,不知您远道而来,究竟所为何事？” Count Morison puts down the coffee in hand, said seriously: „Viscount, my time takes the liberty to come, is the hope can your help.” 莫里森伯爵放下手中的咖啡,一本正经地说道:“子爵阁下,我这次冒昧前来,是希望能够得到您的帮助。” „? Please say, if the strength the ability, I will not be certainly parsimonious.” Colin said with a smile, in the heart has guessed correctly the purpose in coming of Count Morison. “哦？您请说,如果力所能力,我一定不会吝啬。”柯林笑道,心中已经猜到了莫里森伯爵的来意。 Actually after winter curtain festival, north several boundary feudal lord has walked, wants to purchase a number of grain to help in an emergency from Colin. 其实冬幕节之后,已经有好几位北境领主找上门来,想要向柯林购买一批粮食救急。 This time Count Morison, is title highest. 这次的莫里森伯爵,算是其中爵位最高的一位了。 But his following words, really confirmed Colin's speculation: „I heard that the viscount you purchased large quantities of grain in the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, does not know that can sell gives Morison the family?” 而他接下来的话,果然证实了柯林的猜测:“我听说子爵阁下您在银月城收购了一大批粮食,不知能不能出售一些给莫里森家族？” „Sure.” “当然可以。” Colin's straightforwardness makes Count Morison exceptionally pleasantly surprised, immediately said excitedly loudly: „Real? Too thanked you! The viscount, the Angelie family's benevolence, Morison family will certainly forever in heart!” 柯林的豪爽让莫里森伯爵异常惊喜,顿时兴奋地大声道:“真的吗？太感谢您了！子爵阁下,安格列家族的恩情,莫里森家族必将永记于心！” „But, the Count, the grain price of northern boundary thinks that now you are also clear...... this batch of grain is not perhaps cheap.” “不过,伯爵阁下,现在北境的粮价想必您也清楚……这批粮食恐怕不会便宜。” Count Morison obstructs slightly, but nods to say immediately: „You could rest assured that Morison family will not make the friend suffer a loss, we will purchase this batch of grain according to the current price on market from you.” 莫里森伯爵微微一窒,但随即还是点头道:“您放心,莫里森家族是不会让朋友吃亏的,我们会按照市场价向您购买这批粮食。” Hears here, Colin showed the satisfactory smile. 听到这里,柯林不禁露出了满意的笑容。 Will he suffer a loss? 他怎么会吃亏？ By Colin in the position of silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, the local half elf merchant does not certainly dare to increase price the sell grain, sold to Colin at the grain price of normal season, after this batch of grain transport/fortune to the northern boundary, the price rose dramatically directly more than ten times, Colin it can be said that gained sends greatly. 以柯林在银月城的地位,当地的半精灵商人当然不敢加价出售粮食,都是以正常时节的粮价卖给柯林的,而当这批粮食运到北境后,价格直接飙升了十几倍,柯林可以说是赚大发了。 Some feudal lord understanding situations that before several came to buy the grain, but also once tried to offer a very low price, but this young Count Morison actually stupidly the price has not even discussed at present complied directly. 之前几位前来买粮的领主了解一些情况,还曾试图杀价,但眼前这位年轻的莫里森伯爵竟然傻乎乎地连价格都没谈就直接答应了。 It seems like an honest and good-natured person. 看来又是一位老实人。 Colin looks at Count Morison, smiling even more to be bright: „Count, a matter I need to explain to you ahead of time.” 柯林看着莫里森伯爵,笑得越发灿烂起来:“伯爵阁下,还有一件事我需要提前向您说明。” „Please say.” “您请说。” „ You also know, since these days, the person who has come Ice Rock City to buy the grain are too really many, my grain ships from the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, suddenly will supply the speed perhaps unable to follow. “想必您也知道,这段时间以来,前来冰岩城购粮的人实在太多,我的粮食都是从银月城运来的,一时间供应速度恐怕会跟不上。 Therefore, the grain that you purchase perhaps cannot be all delivered one time. ” 所以,您购买的粮食恐怕不能一次性全部交付。” Count Morison knits the brows slightly, asks: „When can we receive the complete grain?” 莫里森伯爵微微皱了皱眉,问道:“那我们什么时候才能收到全部的粮食？” „This...... needs to look at silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate that side delivering goods speed. However, I can promise you, Morison family certainly first goods supply power!” “这个……需要看银月城那边的送货速度。不过,我可以向您保证,莫里森家族一定会得到优先供货权！” „Good, that was really thanks you.” Count Morison then showed the smile. “好的,那真是太感谢您了。”莫里森伯爵这才露出了微笑。 What a pity this young Count had not actually realized, Colin actually anything pledged has not given, so-called „first goods supply power” can guarantee anything. 可惜这位年轻的伯爵却没有意识到,柯林其实什么承诺都没有给出,一个所谓的“优先供货权”又能保证什么呢。 Colin bullies this Count Morison actually not intentionally, he all feudal lords who come to buy the grain proposed condition that this delivers by stages. 柯林倒不是故意欺负这位莫里森伯爵,他给所有前来求购粮食的领主都提出了这个分期交付的条件。 Taking advantage of this condition, Colin can control the food supplies of these families to a certain extent, thus further affects them the standpoint in forthcoming northern boundary chaotic situation. 借着这个条件,柯林就可以在一定程度上控制这些家族的粮食供应,从而进一步影响他们在即将到来的北境乱局中的立场。 Naturally, the grain will deliver by stages, but money actually must pay in full one time. 当然了,粮食会分期交付,但钱却是必须一次性缴清的。 The Angelie family does not accept to give credit! 安格列家族不接受赊账！ Northern boundary of present, grain, but is out of stock tightly, even if Colin here condition again how harsh, these feudal lords also can only hold one's nose should under. 现在的北境,粮食可是紧缺货,哪怕柯林这边的条件再怎么苛刻,那些领主们也只能捏着鼻子应下。 Count Morison as if simply had not realized that the Colin hidden plans, said goodbye to depart very gratefully. 莫里森伯爵仿佛根本没有意识到柯林暗藏的心机,千恩万谢地告辞离去。 Looks at his overjoyed appearance, guilty flashes through in Colin heart, but continued less than one second not to see on the dissipation merely. 看着他那副欢天喜地的模样,一丝愧疚在柯林心底闪过,但仅仅持续了不到一秒就消散不见。 Shortly, steward Eamonn sounded the door again: „Master, Ice Rock City came a guest.” 没多久,管家伊蒙再次敲响了房门:“老爷,冰岩城又来了一位客人。” „Which envoy is this chapter?” “这回是哪家的使者？” Eamonn actually shakes the head: „Master, this time guest from the north.” 伊蒙却摇了摇头:“老爷,这次的客人是从北方来的。” „North?” When Clinton was shocked, Ice Rock City is north the northernmost of boundary, again toward north- “北方？”柯林顿时愣住了,冰岩城已经是北境的最北端了,再往北- That was the vault of heaven icefield! 那就是苍穹冰原了啊！ „Troll envoy?” “巨魔使者？” „It is not, is the envoy of gold/metal lion regiment on the vault of heaven icefield guards.” “不是,是苍穹冰原上驻守的金狮军团的使者。” Colin's brow wrinkled tightly: „Gold/Metal lion regiment? You determined that he requested pays a visit me?” 柯林的眉头皱得更紧了:“金狮军团？你确定他请求拜见我？” In Colin opinion, should the envoys of gold/metal lion regiment go to Winterfell City, look him to do? 在柯林看来,金狮军团的使者怎么也该去凛冬城呀,来找他干什么？ Eamonn lowered the sound, explained: „Master, wants to pay a visit your, accompanying that is the gold/metal lion regiment envoys, he called is Charles St. Hilde.” 伊蒙压低了声音,解释道:“老爷,想要拜见您的,是金狮军团使者的随从,他叫是查尔斯・圣希尔德。” „Charles?” When Clinton stood from the seat surprisedly. “查尔斯？”柯林顿时惊讶地从座位上站了起来。 He remembers, first wife's eldest son of this Duke St. Hilde, once northern boundary marquis, but was sent to frontier service the northern frontline by his father, and requests him- 他可是记得,这位圣希尔德公爵的嫡长子,曾经的北境侯爵,可是被他父亲发配到了北方前线,并要求他- „One day does not break through Troll Royal City, can not return to the northern boundary on the 1st”. “一日不攻破巨魔王城,就一日不得返回北境”。 Never expected that he slid unexpectedly secretly at this time. 没想到他竟然在这个时候偷偷溜回来了。 No wonder he does not dare to go to Winterfell City, but ran up to Ice Rock City. 难怪他不敢去凛冬城,而是跑到了冰岩城。 Colin walked back and forth several in the study room, the brow twisted one group. 柯林在书房内来回走了几圈,眉头拧成了一团。 Long time asked: „Does no one recognize him?” 半晌才问道:“没有人认出他吧？” „No, Master. Charles made the camouflage . Moreover the status by the envoy accompanying appears in Ice Rock City.” “没有,老爷。查尔斯阁下做了伪装,而且是以使者随从的身份出现在冰岩城中的。” „Good, leading him to see me.” “好,带他来见我。”
