Winterfell City.凛冬城。As an city eastmost famoustavern, „buttertavern”todaydeclinedoneguest who comesyour helpin large numbers.
作为城东最出名的一家酒馆,“黄油酒馆”今天却谢绝了一大批前来惠顾的客人。„Oh? Whyhecanenter, don't welet?”
“唉?为什么他能进,我们就不让进?”
The tavernentrance, was blockedby the aideinthatguest who outsideyoungdrunkardpointed atjustto be welcomed, asked.
酒馆门口,被侍从拦在外面的年轻酒鬼指着刚刚被迎进去的那名客人,质问道。
The tavernaideexplainedpolitely: „Reallysorry, butthatmisterhad the written invitationa moment ago.”
酒馆侍从礼貌地解释道:“实在抱歉,但刚才那位先生有请帖。”„Therefore, yourtaverndoes reserve all seats for a performancetoday?”
“所以,你们酒馆今天是被包场了?”„Yes.”
“是的。”
The drunkardscreate a clamorimmediately, is venting the disaffection in heart, butactuallyno onedaresreallyto clash.
酒鬼们顿时鼓噪一番,发泄着心中的不满,但却没人敢真的冲进去。As„buttertavern” the frequent guest, theyknows that thistavernbackgroundis deep, it is said the tavernboss'sinaristocratmasterwithsummitthatcastlerelatessignificantly.
作为“黄油酒馆”的熟客,他们都知道这家酒馆背景深厚,据说酒馆老板跟山顶那座城堡里的贵族老爷关系匪浅。As the matter stands, who can also hurriedly, not wantto mixin the northernboundaryhere?
这样一来,谁还敢在这里造次,是不想在北境混了么?When the drunkardsdivergein abundance, the tavernalsowelcomedtwodark-skinnedguests.
等酒鬼们纷纷散去,酒馆又迎来了两位皮肤黝黑的客人。Two peoplefacial featuresare close, looksis the brothers.
两人面容相近,一看就是兄弟。Moreover, thisdarkskin colorshowed that two peoplerush aboutall the year roundoutside, the riches and honorbutactuallyuncouthmakings that in additionthattypeis unable to cover, the aidebasic assessment, these twoshouldyear to yearoutsidepeddler, most likely (80%)are the tonight'sguests.
而且,这种黝黑的肤色表明两人长年在外奔波,再加上那种无法掩盖的富贵但却俗气的气质,侍从基本判断出,这两人应该是常年在外行商,八成是今晚的客人。Really, one of them puts out the written invitation, gave the aide.
果然,其中一人拿出请帖,交给了侍从。
The aidessweptone, immediatelyopens the doorrespectfully, said: „Welcomevisits, Mr.Olive, Mr.Ollmar.”
侍从扫了一眼,立刻恭敬地推开了门,道:“欢迎光临,奥利弗先生,奥尔玛先生。”BrotherOliveentered the tavernimmediately.
奥利弗兄弟随即走进了酒馆。Insidehad gatheredover a hundredguests, observes the situation for a week, Olivediscovered,basicallyissomeripefaces.
里面已经聚集了上百位客人,环视一周,奥利弗发现,基本都是些熟面孔。„Mr.Olive!”
“奥利弗先生!”Also without them was familiar with the environment, wells uponepileto greet.
还没等两人熟悉环境,就涌上来一堆打招呼的。Olive seemed to have expected that suchscene, carried the rackimmediately, exchanges the smile of acting with constraint, is dealing with the people of coming.
奥利弗似乎早就预料到了这样的场面,当即端起了架子,换上矜持的笑容,应付着前来的众人。Thisnorthboundarymerchantassembles, Olive is actually not the organizer, but the tulipchamber of commerceis not the strengthmost abundantinfluencein the northernboundary.
这次北境商人集会,奥利弗其实并不是主办方,而郁金香商会在北境也算不上实力最雄厚的势力。Especiallyafter the Umanfamily met with the big change, understood the merchants who tulipchamber of commercedetailsno longerfavorthischamber of commercein abundance.
尤其是在乌曼家族遭逢大变之后,了解郁金香商会底细的商人们都纷纷不再看好这家商会。Just, suchsituationincame180degreesshallowturnrecentlysuddenly.
只不过,这样的情况在最近突然来了个一百八十度的大转弯。
The reason is also very simple.
原因也很简单。
The merchantsdiscovered,tulipchamber of commercethatunknownnewpresidentMr.Olive, actuallygets to know each other wellwithCount Angelie!
商人们发现,郁金香商会那位名不见经传的新任会长奥利弗先生,竟然跟安格列伯爵相熟!Actually, the rumor that OliveandCount Angelieget to know each other wellhas, butconveyed a messagethroughOliveto the northernboundarymajormerchantsuntilCount Angelierecentlyspecially, the peoplefinallybelieved firmly the authenticity of rumor.
其实,奥利弗与安格列伯爵相熟的传言早就有了,但直到最近安格列伯爵特意通过奥利弗向北境各大商人传话,众人才终于确信了传言的真实性。Therefore, Oliveandtulipchamber of commerce, unexpectedlyin one night when production costs rise, prices rise too.
于是,奥利弗和郁金香商会,竟在一夜之间水涨船高。„Does Mr.Olive, the St. Hildefamilyreallyplanto lend? How many does the preparationborrow?”
“奥利弗先生,圣希尔德家族是真的打算借贷吗?准备借多少啊?”„Will Mr.Olive, Count Angeliealso go to the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gateto conduct the grainstronglyto purchasethis year?”
“奥利弗先生,安格列伯爵今年也会前往银月城进行粮食集中采购吗?”„Mr.Olive, do the taxes and fees of Trollempirereduce the quota to askCount Angelieto let looseonebatchagain?”
“奥利弗先生,巨魔帝国的税费减免名额能不能请安格列伯爵再放开一批呀?”„Mr.Olive......”
“奥利弗先生……”Variousissuesstream, Olivedoes not knowhowsuddenlyshouldreply, onCaroline Zhang'sfatfacemusthang up the politesmile, pretends that has not heard clearly the issue of people, butunceasinglywithencirclingin the merchantshandshakeregards of bodyweek.
各种问题纷至沓来,奥利弗一时间都不知道该怎么回答,那张圆圆的胖脸上只得挂上了礼貌的笑容,假装没听清众人的问题,只是不断跟围在身周的商人们一个个握手问候。Ding!
叮叮!
Before the bar, a potbelliedmiddle-aged mansounded the stem glass in hand, waits for the vision of peopleto concentrate, Cenamsound said:
吧台前,一位大腹便便的中年男人敲响了手中的高脚杯,等众人的目光都集中过来,才朗声道:„, Yourenthusiasmswere aboutto scareMr.Olive, therefore, but alsopleaserestrain!”
“诸位,你们的热情都快吓坏了奥利弗先生,所以,还请克制一下!”Encirclesthendivergesin the people of Olivebodyweekwith a laugh.
围在奥利弗身周的众人这才笑呵呵地散去。Canmakeso manymerchantsso„obedient”, thismiddle-aged mannaturalstatusis uncommon.
能让这么多商人如此“听话”,这位中年男人当然身份不凡。„Mr.Arnold!”Olivewalksquicklyseveralsteps, before arriving at the bar, cordiallyshakes handwiththisperson, „thankedyouto inviteusto cometo attendthisgrand meeting!”
“阿诺德先生!”奥利弗快走几步,来到吧台前,跟此人亲切握手,“感谢您邀请我们前来参加这次盛会!”Organizer who thisMr.Arnoldthismerchantgets together, is the boss in thisbuttertavern, naturally, a hemore prominentstatusis the president of north windchamber of commerce.
这位阿诺德先生正是此次商人聚会的组织者,也是这家黄油酒馆的老板,当然,他更为显赫的一个身份则是北风商会的会长。Butthisnorth windchamber of commerce, is always close to the St. Hildefamily relationship, evensomerumorssaid,thischamber of commerce is actually the St. Hildefamilyinvestmentforms, Arnoldwas pushed up the white gloves before stage.
而这个北风商会,一直以来都跟圣希尔德家族关系密切,甚至有传言说,这家商会其实就是圣希尔德家族出资组建的,阿诺德不过是被推上台前的白手套而已。In recent years, Arnoldis flaunting the St. Hildefamily'sbanner, can truly be calledin the northernboundarybusiness circlecontrols the forces of nature, the reputationis prominent. At this timeforms the northernboundarymerchantfederation, Arnoldnaturallyalsohas hundred responses to a single call, the northernboundarycountnumbermerchantwas basically in attendance.
这些年来,阿诺德打着圣希尔德家族的旗号,在北境商界确实称得上是呼风唤雨,声名显赫。此时组建北境商人联合会,阿诺德自然也是一呼百应,北境数得上号的商人基本都到齐了。„Mr.Olive, Mr.Ollmar, youcanattendthisgrand meeting, ismybeing honored! Alsopleasetake a seatto wait a minute, tastesmeto collectmanyyears of champagne, ourconferencesmuststartquickly.”
“奥利弗先生,奥尔玛先生,你们能来参加这次盛会,才是我的荣幸!还请入座稍候,品尝一下我珍藏多年的香槟,我们的会议很快就要开始了。”BrotherOliveshould, arrive at a round tablenear the topto take a seatunder the influence ofaidewith a smileimmediately.
奥利弗兄弟笑着应下,随即在侍从的引领下来到靠前的一个圆桌落座。ThisinterruptsafterArnold, the merchantsawaken, thisconference is mainly the discussionforms the northernboundarymerchantfederation, rather thanSt. Hildefamily'slendingcongress.
经过阿诺德这一打岔,众位商人才醒悟过来,这次会议主要是商议组建北境商人联合会,而不是圣希尔德家族的借贷大会。Therefore, under the peoplemustrepressfiery in heart, no longerpestersOlive, after preparationand othermeetings, inquiredto the opposite partycarefully.
所以,众人只得按耐下心中的火热,不再纠缠奥利弗,准备等会后再向对方仔细询问。Alsowaited forone, the tavernfront dooropensagain, wore the armor, the waistwears the youngknight of long swordto walk.
又等了一阵,酒馆大门再次打开,一位身穿铠甲,腰佩长剑的年轻骑士走了进来。Then the peacefultavernmade noisewith great difficultyagain.
这下原本好不容易安静一些的酒馆再次喧闹起来。
The merchantswhisper, have doubtswill how have the knightto attendthistimemerchantcongress.
商人们纷纷交头接耳,疑惑怎么会有骑士参加这次的商人大会。Butalsosomepeoplerecognized the identity of thisknight, will cannot help but look atArnold.
但也有人认出了这位骑士的身份,不由得将目光转向阿诺德。At this time, sawArnoldhalf stepto go forward, welcomed the onstagethisyoungknightpersonally, simultaneouslyto a numerousmerchantbrightsound said:
这时,就见阿诺德快步上前,亲自将这位年轻的骑士迎上了前台,同时对着一众商人朗声道:„, Pleaseallowmeto introduce, thisisUpper HouseSebasConsuleldest son of legal wifegrandson- WeberSt. Hildeknight!”
“诸位,请容我介绍一下,这位是元老院赛巴斯执政官的嫡长孙-韦伯・圣希尔德骑士!”
!
啪啪啪!Under the stagebroke out the warm applause.
台下响起了热烈的掌声。
A numerousmerchantfacial expressionrouses, the appearance of Weberknightmadethemdetermine a fact- Arnoldwas indeed close to the St. Hildefamily relationship, it seems like that this timeformed the northernboundarymerchantfederation, shouldbe the St. Hildefamily'swill.
一众商人神情振奋,韦伯骑士的出现让他们确定了一个事实-阿诺德的确跟圣希尔德家族关系密切,看来这次组建北境商人联合会,应该就是圣希尔德家族的意志。
Only the Olivetwobrotherscomplexionshavedifferent, is speaking under in a low voice, oftenlooksto the direction of tavernfront door.
只有奥利弗两兄弟脸色有异,在下面低声说着话,不时看向酒馆大门的方向。OnWeberknightfacehas the smile of acting with constraint, under the merchantstoward the stagenods.
韦伯骑士脸上带着矜持的微笑,朝台下商人们点头致意。Actuallyheis not willingto comethis, becauseleavesRoyal Dragon Citytime, grandfatherSebashad once warnedhim, mustpay attention to the low keyin the northernboundary, do not handle the matter that anypossiblyenragesColin, do not communicatedenselywith the north windchamber of commerce.
其实他本是不愿来此的,因为离开御龙城的时候,爷爷赛巴斯曾告诫过他,在北境一定要注意低调,不要做任何可能激怒柯林的事情,也不要跟北风商会来往过密。How couldbutyoungair/QiabundantWeberhas had such submissiveday, in addition the north windchamber of commerceisgives moneyto deliver the woman, makingfor a long timeWeberrealizeaggrievedly a playboyshouldhave the pleasure that when was merrily drunkthenagreed withArnold'sinvitation.
但年少气盛的韦伯何曾有过这样低声下气的日子,加上北风商会又是送钱送女人,让憋屈了许久的韦伯重新体会到了一名纨绔该有的乐趣,酒酣耳热之际便同意了阿诺德的邀请。In his opinion, attending a merchantassemblyisminor matterone, shouldnot bring toColin'sattention.
在他看来,参加一次商人集会不过是小事一桩,应该不会引起柯林的注意。Arnoldlooks atstagenextmerchantcomplexionfluctuation, in the heartself-satisfied.
阿诺德看着台下一众商人脸色的变幻,心中得意。
His timeWeberknightwelcometo the conference site, wantto build an impressionin the northernboundarymerchantmindby any means possible- behindnorth windchamber of commerceis standing, is the St. Hildefamily!
他这次千方百计地将韦伯骑士请到会场,就是想在北境商人脑海中营造一个印象-北风商会背后站着的,就是圣希尔德家族!Depends onpulls the St. Hildefamily'sflag, Arnoldtheseyearscanenjoying the sight and sound of the wind whipping up the water that mixesin the northernboundary.
正是靠着扯圣希尔德家族的大旗,阿诺德这么些年才能在北境混的风生水起。Recently, changing constantlyreallysome of northernboundaryeyes cannot take it all, moreovernewCount Angelie the attitudeto the merchant is not quite as if friendly, Arnoldthengot up the thought of forming the northernboundarymerchantfederation, wantsto conform with the northernboundarymerchantinfluence, todeal the change of situation.
只是最近一段时间,北境的风云变幻实在有些让人目不暇接,而且新崛起的安格列伯爵似乎对商人的态度不太友好,阿诺德这才起了组建北境商人联合会的念头,想要借此整合北境商人势力,以应对局势的变化。Is high-spiritedwhenArnold, preparesto give a speech, the tavernfront dooragainopens.
就在阿诺德意气风发,准备发表一番演说之际,酒馆大门再次打开。
A Arnoldbrowwrinkle, thinks that is the merchant who thatdoes not enlarge ones visionis lateunexpectedly, was preparingto scold, but when hesees clearly when thatperson of martial-lookingfacial features, immediatelylooks at dumblyat the scene.
阿诺德眉头一皱,以为是那个不开眼的商人竟然迟到了,正准备呵斥,但当他看清楚走进来的那人的英武面容时,顿时呆立当场。
The taken a seatWeberknightalsostandsimmediately, erases the beerbubble of corners of the mouthcarelessly, the left handbuckles the chest, the stutteralways the personsalutes saying:
本已入座的韦伯骑士也立刻站了起来,胡乱抹掉嘴角的啤酒泡沫,左手扣胸,结结巴巴地向来人行礼道:„Peaceful...... Count Angelie!”
“安……安格列伯爵!”Colinstrideenters the conference site, walkssaidwith a laugh:
柯林大步走进会场,边走边笑呵呵地说道:„Suchlivelymeeting, how does no oneinformme?”
“这么热闹的聚会,怎么没人通知我呀?”
