„...... This liquor, can we drink?” “咳咳……这酒,我们能喝了么？” In the reception room in royal palace, -and-a-half elf merchants are shouting hoarse, asked. 王宫的会客厅中,一位半精灵商人扯着沙哑的喉咙,问道。 They by Count Angelie welcome to here, but words saying half, has the accident/surprise that marquis Vincent assassination. 他们被安格列伯爵请到这里,可话才说了一半,就发生了文森特侯爵遇刺的意外。 After Count Angelie leaves, this crowd of hunger and thirst the most of the day half elf merchants look at front red wine, really somewhat could not bear. 安格列伯爵离开后,这群饥渴了大半天的半精灵商人们看着面前的红酒,实在有些忍不住了。 Even so, no one dares first to go to the liquor water. 但即便如此,还是没人敢第一个去动酒水。 „Sips one lightly, little drinks, should not have the issue.” Some people proposed. “轻抿一口,少喝点,应该没问题吧。”有人提议道。 The person but who spoke although proposed this suggestion, oneself have not actually begun. 但说话的人虽然提出了这个建议,自己却没有动手。 Also is an unendurable silence. 又是一阵难熬的沉默。 Finally, Javier could not calm down, sees only him in the others surprised vision, drinks front liquor water completely, then said loudly: 终于,哈维尔沉不住气了,只见他在旁人惊讶的目光中,一口将面前的酒水饮尽,然后大声道: „Maidservant? Please pour out to fill a wine cup for me!” “侍女呢？请为我斟满酒！” However, what is awkward, simply does not have the maidservant to walk. 然而,尴尬的是,根本没有侍女走进来。 Javier light snort/hum, immediately stood, but when he prepares to walk out, stands in nearby armor guard immediately goes forward it to block. 哈维尔轻哼一声,当即站了起来,但就在他准备向外走的时候,侍立在一旁的铠甲侍卫立刻上前将其拦住。 Javier does not dare to rush hardly, must say politely: „I want to ask a maidservant to pour out wine.” 哈维尔不敢硬闯,只得礼貌地说道:“我只是想找位侍女来斟酒。” But the guard did not say a word, but blocked in front of Javier. 但侍卫却一言不发,只是拦在哈维尔面前。 Javier is unable to constrain the anger in heart again, asked loudly: „We sat for quite a while here, wants some liquor water to relieve thirst is not good? Is this royal palace the hospitality of?” 哈维尔再也无法压抑心中的愤怒,大声问道:“我们在这里坐了大半天,要些酒水来解解渴都不行吗？难道这就是王宫的待客之道？” Finishes speaking, an indifferent sound conveys from the palace: „Hospitality? Mr. Javier, you thought that oneself is a guest?” 话音刚落,一个冷漠的声音就从殿外传来:“待客之道？哈维尔先生,你觉得自己是客人吗？” Javier hears this familiar sound, immediately stands rigidly at the scene. 哈维尔听到这个熟悉的声音,顿时僵立当场。 Numerous half elf merchants look that Colin stride enters in the palace, in the look has to Javier's taking pleasure in others' misfortunes, there are to uneasy of own destiny. 一众半精灵商人们看着柯林大步走进殿中,眼神中既有对哈维尔的幸灾乐祸,也有对自己命运的惴惴不安。 Meanwhile, what they are more curious, in view of the assassination of marquis Vincent, has successful? 同时,他们更好奇的是,针对文森特侯爵的刺杀,到底有没有成功？ If marquis Vincent really died in the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, that eastern boundary will not give up absolutely. 如果文森特侯爵真的死在了银月城,那东境绝对不会就此善罢甘休。 What a pity, when Colin comes in the expression with departure almost, is tranquil and faint, as if anything has not happened, half elf merchants are unable to see what clue. 可惜,柯林进来时的表情跟离开时差不多,平静而淡漠,仿佛什么也没有发生,半精灵商人们也无法从中看出什么端倪来。 „Uncle, Count Sir...... I......” “伯,伯爵大人……我……” Colin passes through from Javier, has not looked at his one eyes, sat down on the seat of honor directly, broke Javier of making excuses, said: 柯林从哈维尔身边走过,没有多看他一眼,径直在主位上坐下,打断了支支吾吾的哈维尔,道: „You now in my eyes, are the criminals who participate in the rebellion, is not the guest! Who do you also do do not understand your situation?” “你们现在在我眼中,是参与叛乱的罪犯,不是客人！你们还有谁搞不明白自己的处境？” Collinson's vision however takes a fast look around, sees no one to dare with look at each other, then returned Javier's body. 柯林森然的目光扫视一圈,见没人敢和自己对视,便又转回到了哈维尔的身上。 „Mr. Javier, what opinion do you have to my beforehand proposition?” “哈维尔先生,您对我之前的提议有什么意见吗？” „I...... I think that the Count Sir's proposition is extremely reasonable! Our partly elf business circle truly needs a unified foreign trade organization, this can avoid the unnecessary internal strife.” “我……我认为伯爵大人的提议极有道理！我们半精灵商界确实需要一个统一的对外贸易机构,这样才能避免不必要的内部纷争。” Javier had such opportunity, sings the song of praise to Colin's proposition hastily, wants to eliminate the rash behavior by this to the malice that Colin leaves behind. 哈维尔得到了这样的机会,连忙对柯林的提议大唱赞歌,想以此来消除自己刚才的冒失行为给柯林留下的恶感。 He also wants to understand, no matter half elf merchants do want, Colin will not continue the ignores they to be separated from the control. 他也想明白了,不管半精灵商人们愿不愿意,柯林都不会继续放任他们脱离掌控。 The establishment of half elf foreign trade company, is unstoppable. 半精灵对外贸易公司的成立,是无可阻挡的。 Therefore, since is unable to revolt, perhaps that , can win some impression marks simply on own initiative, and will soon be welcoming the half elf business circle of greatly shuffling to seek a good position. 所以,既然无法反抗,那就干脆一点,主动一点,或许还能赢得一些印象分,乃至在即将迎来大洗牌的半精灵商界谋取一个好位置。 Really, Colin is very satisfied with this tactful half elf merchant, on face indifferent eases a little, takes a fast look around on other half elf merchants present, asked: 果然,柯林对这位识趣的半精灵商人很满意,脸上的冷漠稍稍缓解,又在其余在座的半精灵商人们身上扫视一圈,问道: „Others? What opinion has?” “其他人呢？都有什么意见？” At this time, other half elf merchants naturally do not dare to be the person who takes the lead, made noise to express the support in abundance. 这个时候,其余的半精灵商人自然也都不敢做出头鸟,纷纷出声表示赞成。 „Good! That decided!” Front Colin claps, stands up, carries the wine glass, the bright sound said, „makes us raise glass together, congratulates the establishment of half elf foreign trade company!” “好！那就这么决定了！”柯林一拍手,站起身来,端起面前地酒杯,朗声道,“让我们共同举杯,庆贺半精灵对外贸易公司的成立！” Ding. 叮叮叮。 In the clear clinking glasses sound, half elf merchants drank. red wine with smile on the face, the hidden mood was actually the especially complex cup 清脆的碰杯声中,半精灵商人们面带笑容地饮下了杯中的红酒,暗藏的心情却是尤为复杂。 ...... …… After chaos, the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate returned to normal. 一场大乱之后,银月城重新恢复了平静。 The wound that but the rebellion leaves behind was unable to eliminate in a short time, on the street finds at everywhere the Blood Cavalry Army squad of patrol. 但叛乱留下的创伤短时间内还无法消除,街道上随处可见巡逻的血骑军小队。 The rebel army corpse of dying in battle had been cleaned up cleanly, but these executed participated in rebellion the body of half elf aristocrat, actually also hung on the city central square. 战死的叛军尸体已经被清理干净,但那些被处决的参与叛乱的半精灵贵族的尸体,却还吊在城市中心广场上。 When silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate people way here, cannot bear looks at the masters who in several these past kept aloof secretly, in the heart had alarmed and afraid, there is not being able to say pleased. 银月城的子民们途径此处时,都忍不住偷瞄几眼那些往日里高高在上的老爷们,心中既有惊惧,也有一种说不出的快意。 This political storm to the ordinary half elf, is only a nightmare, whom they will not care about to win who loses, only wants to cross the tranquil easy life well. 这场政治风暴对普通半精灵来说,只是一场噩梦,他们并不会太在意谁胜谁负,只想好好过自己平静的小日子。 In the luxurious villa in silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate commercial block, Javier is welcoming into the living room several getting to know each other well half elf merchants. 银月城商业街区的一栋豪华别墅中,哈维尔正将几位相熟的半精灵商人迎入客厅。 After several people exchanged greetings, fell into silent. 几人寒暄一阵后,都陷入了沉默。 Saw with own eyes that the atmosphere gradually becomes awkward, then coughs as Javier of master lightly, said: „I obtained the precise information, marquis Vincent had been killed!” 眼见气氛渐渐变得尴尬,作为主人的哈维尔便轻咳一声,道:“我得到了确切的消息,文森特侯爵已经遇刺身亡了！” „What? Did you determine?” “什么？你确定？” „Determination.” Javier is gloomy the face to nod, „he was killed by Duke Medwin.” “确定。”哈维尔阴沉着脸点了点头,“他是被墨狄温公爵杀死的。” „Duke Medwin?” “墨狄温公爵？” Several other-and-a-half elf merchants look at each other in blank dismay look at each several other, thought that this news some are unbelievable. 其余几名半精灵商人面面相觑地对视几眼,都觉得这个消息有些难以相信。 Javier sees that then explained: „I guessed, Duke Medwin thought was marquis Vincent will be involved during the rebellion with the conspiratorial means forcefully, this had the hatred, was detained taking advantage of two people in the same place opportunity, the sneak attack killed marquis Vincent.” 哈维尔见状,便解释道:“我猜测,墨狄温公爵觉得是文森特侯爵用阴谋手段强行将自己卷入了叛乱之中,这才心怀恨意,借着两人被关押在一起的机会,偷袭杀害了文森特侯爵。” „Has this possibility......” “是有这个可能……” „ Moreover, I also send people carefully to observe in Market Village the Duke Medwin corpse, his corpse obviously corrupts the bodies of other half elf aristocrats is more serious. “而且,我还派人去仔细观察过城市广场上墨狄温公爵的尸体,他的尸体明显比其他的半精灵贵族的尸体腐烂得更加严重一些。 This explained that Duke Medwin before being executed, has died. 这就说明,墨狄温公爵在被处决之前,就已经死了。 But I also heard, Duke Medwin kills marquis Vincent after the royal palace, knows to be hard to escape by luck, then committed suicide at the scene. Then causes him dead early compared with other half elf aristocrats. ” 而我也听说,墨狄温公爵在王宫杀害文森特侯爵之后,就自知难以幸免,便当场自裁了。这才导致他比其他的半精灵贵族死得更早一些。” Half elf merchants nod in abundance, thought that Javier's news was true. 半精灵商人们纷纷点头,更加觉得哈维尔的消息属实了。 „That, Mr. Javier, actually should we what to do? Marquis Vincent dies in the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, the eastern boundary will not give up absolutely, we must continue, forms half elf foreign trade company that defers to Count Angelie to request?” “那么,哈维尔先生,我们究竟应该怎么办？文森特侯爵死在银月城,东境绝对不会善罢甘休的,我们还要继续按照安格列伯爵所要求的,组建半精灵对外贸易公司吗？” Javier sneers, disdains saying: „Do we currently have the choice?” 哈维尔冷笑一声,不屑道:“我们现在还有选择吗？” Then the people do not speak. 这下众人都不说话了。 Truly, the eastern boundary will take revenge for marquis Vincent even, but the current silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, still still under the control of Count Angelie, wants to solve a group of not obedient half elf merchants, with patting several flies has no difference. 确实,就算东境会为了文森特侯爵复仇,但目前的银月城,也依然是在安格列伯爵的控制之下,想要解决掉一批不听话的半精灵商人,就跟拍死几只苍蝇没什么区别。 Javier receives the eyeground the complexion of people, opens the mouth to say again: „But, we are are not undoable.” 哈维尔将众人的脸色都收入眼底,再次开口道:“不过,我们也不是什么都不能做。” „Mr. Javier, what idea do you have?” “哈维尔先生,您有什么想法？” „Do you believe me?” Javier has not replied immediately, but is the sinking sound asks. “你们都相信我吗？”哈维尔没有立刻回答,而是沉声反问道。 „Naturally believes you!” “当然相信您！” „You are the leader of our partly elf business!” “您一直都是我们半精灵商界的领袖！” „Yes, Mr. Javier, we also can only depend upon you now!” “是的,哈维尔先生,现在我们也只能依靠您了！” ...... …… Is listening to flattering of people, Javier looks the smug look, but he acts with constraint immediately beckons with the hand, said: 听着众人的吹捧,哈维尔面露得色,但随即他就矜持地摆摆手,道: „ Since everyone trusts me, I spoke frankly. “既然大家都信任我,那我就直说了。 I believe that to maintain the independence of half elf business, must seek the foreign aid, otherwise depends on us only, is not possible to fight Queen Aisha and Count Angelie. ” 我认为,要想保持半精灵商界的独立,就必须寻求外援,否则单靠我们,是不可能斗得过艾莎女王和安格列伯爵的。” „Is the foreign aid that Mr. Javier, you said who......?” “哈维尔先生,您所说的外援……是谁？” „Naturally is east the boundary!” “当然是东境！” „Eastern boundary?” “东境？” „Yes.” Javier said confidently, „ the death news of present marquis Vincent was also blocked, obviously, Queen Aisha and Count Angelie do not think that east the boundary learns of this news quickly. “是的。”哈维尔胸有成竹地说道,“现在文森特侯爵的死讯还被封锁中,显然,艾莎女王和安格列伯爵都不想东境这么快就得知这个消息。 But if we transmit in secret this message...... ” 但如果我们将这个消息暗中传递出去……” -and-a-half elf merchants think the turmoil of possibly provoding, cannot endure to shiver, has the sound said: „If the eastern boundary really dispatches troops again, our industries can be damaged?” 一位半精灵商人想到可能引发的动乱,忍不出打了个冷颤,出声道:“如果东境真的再次发兵,我们的产业岂不是又要受到损伤？” „Idiot!” Javier scolded unrestrained/no trace of politeness, „, only then east the boundary and northern boundary hit, we could achieve success one way or another, the possibility that the two sides asked a price, this appearance, we can only now, no matter what Count Angelie butchered!” “蠢货！”哈维尔毫不客气地骂道,“只有东境和北境打起来,我们才有左右逢源,两边要价的可能,现在这个样子,我们只能任安格列伯爵宰割！” „But, will the eastern boundary really dispatch troops to the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate?” A person was worried that asked. “但是,东境真的会出兵银月城吗？”一人又担心地问道。 After all the destruction of previous Pegasus regiment is close at hand, the St. Plossi family is really also not necessarily able to dispatch troops for marquis Vincent. 毕竟上次天马军团的覆灭还近在眼前,圣普洛斯家族还真未必会为了文森特侯爵出兵。 Javier smiles calm, said: „This needed us to do tried hard, making Duke St. Plossi have to dispatch troops.” 哈维尔淡定一笑,道:“这就需要我们从中做些努力了,让圣普洛斯公爵不得不出兵。” The people the spirit inspires immediately, asked hastily: 众人顿时精神一振,连忙问道: „How should we do?” “我们该怎么做？”
