Today blew out a lucky fellow!” “你们听说了吗？今天爆出了一个幸运儿！” „Is the welfare lotteries?” “是福利彩票吗？” „Naturally, except for this, what can also have?” “当然,除了这个,还能有啥？” „Who is lucky fellow? How much money did he take?” “幸运儿是谁？他拿了多少钱？” „Is a fellow named Tom, won 5000 copper coin!” “是一个叫汤姆的家伙,赢了五千铜币！” „5000! Real false?” “五千！真的假的？” „Naturally real! I see with one's own eyes this boy to mount the stage to receive an award.” “当然是真的！我亲眼看到这小子上台领奖的。” „Are you saying Tom? I know that boy, he is my distantly related cousin, initially I told the matter of welfare lotteries...... he receives an award, I still under the stage shout him, he has not heard, it is estimated that was the person were too many, compared with the theatrical troupe scene also noisy......” “你们是在说汤姆吗？我认识那小子,他是我远房表哥,当初还是我告诉福利彩票的事情呢……他领奖的时候,我还在台下喊他,他没听到,估计是现场的人太多了,比剧团现场还吵闹……” „Ha , he even if heard will still pretend not to hear.” “哈哈哈,他就算听到了也会装作没听到。” „Why?” “为啥？” „Because feared that you ask him to lend money!” “因为怕你找他借钱啊！” „Will I ask him to lend money? He can draw a prize-winning ticket, I am not why good! Today I buy five welfare lotteries, the lucky number that selects specially, will draw a lottery I definitely to be able next time!” “我会找他借钱？他能中大奖,我凭什么不行！今天我就买了五张福利彩票,特意挑的幸运号码,下次开奖我肯定能中！” ...... …… Count Ivan gets fiancee Sally to enter the tavern, the content that discovery here alcoholic discussed was related with the welfare lotteries. 埃文伯爵领着未婚妻莎莉娅走进酒馆,就发现这里的酒客所讨论的内容都和福利彩票有关。 During harvest festival, the business of tavern is hot, not the big space division the two floors, the lower level forced in thirty tables, by each table was filled with the person, the surroundings are also standing one guest who could not find the position. 丰收节期间,酒馆的生意非常火爆,不大的空间分割成上下两层,下层塞进了三十几张桌子,每张桌子旁都坐满了人,周围还站着一圈找不到位置的客人。 The crowded noisy atmosphere made Sally wrinkle the brow, was good soon leads her to walk up to two buildings because of Count Ivan. 拥挤吵闹的气氛让莎莉娅皱紧了眉头,好在埃文伯爵很快就带着她走上了二楼。 In comparison, the spaces of two buildings are more spacious, but this is also because here admission must be much more expensive. 相比之下,二楼的空间就空旷许多,但这也是因为这里的入场费要贵得多。 Tavern aide eyes saw Count Ivan two people clothing is not ordinary, knows that these two definitely are the aristocrats, led by them two building tables by the window hastily respectfully. 酒馆侍从一眼就看出了埃文伯爵两人着装的不一般,知道这两人肯定是贵族,连忙恭敬地将他们带到了二楼靠窗的一张桌子旁。 After Count Ivan sits down, proficiently ejects several copper coin, said: „Gives us to come two glasses of purple rum.” 埃文伯爵坐下后熟练地抛出几枚铜币,道:“给我们来两杯紫蔗酒。” „Good, please wait a bit!” “好的,您请稍等！” After the aides turn around, Sally is frowning saying: „Ivan, why do you always like coming to this place?” 侍从转身后,莎莉娅皱着眉头道:“埃文,你为什么总喜欢来这种地方？” Count Ivan have a relish looks at the people who downstairs are making noise, said with a smile: „Because these places can drink the nice wine!” 埃文伯爵饶有兴致地望着楼下喧闹的众人,笑道:“因为这些地方才能喝到好酒啊！” The Sally brow wrinkled tightly, curled the lip saying: „Nonsense, what nice wine can here have?” 莎莉娅的眉头皱得更紧了,撇撇嘴道:“胡说,这里能有什么好酒？” „Haha, this you do not understand. If by the brewing craft, here liquor naturally cannot compare the aristocrat restaurant, but, here liquor has the special flavor that the aristocrat restaurant does not have.” “哈哈,这你就不懂了。如果论酿造工艺,这里的酒当然比不上贵族酒庄,但是,这里的酒有种贵族酒庄所没有的特别味道。” „What flavor?” “什么味道？” „Secular flavor.” “世俗的味道。” „Common custom?” “世俗？” Count Ivan turns head, looks at the Sally bright big eyes earnestly, explained: „In the restaurant of aristocrat full is desirably decorative carving from now on false, only then here, you can taste to the mundane world real flavor.” 埃文伯爵回过头来,认真地看着莎莉娅明亮的大眼睛,解释道:“贵族的酒庄里满是刻意雕饰过后的虚伪,只有在这里,你才能品尝到世俗世界真实的味道。” Sally looks at the face of Count Ivan, suddenly felt oneself could not master this fiance more and more. 莎莉娅看着埃文伯爵的脸,忽然觉得自己越来越搞不懂这位未婚夫了。 Count Ivan laughs, smiles saying: „Jokes with you, actually just now might find the Your Highness the Prince trail in this farm.” 埃文伯爵哈哈一笑,莞尔道:“跟你开玩笑啦,其实在这种地方才更有可能找到亲王殿下的踪迹呀。” A Sally face does not believe that shakes the head saying: „Father comes Ice Rock City even, will not enter this place. Moreover, if there is a outsider to enter Ice Rock City, first knows that definitely is the feudal lord mansion.” 莎莉娅一脸不信,摇头道:“父亲就算来冰岩城,也不会进入这种地方。而且,如果有外乡人进入冰岩城,最先知道的,肯定是领主府。” „Not. If this outsider wants to hide the identity, he will be guarding against the feudal lord mansion, will not actually be guarding against these civilians.” “不不不。如果这位外乡人想要隐藏身份,他会防备着领主府,却不会防着这些平民。” Sally is crooked the small head to think, discovers some truth, then no longer talks too much. 莎莉娅歪着小脑袋想了想,发现有些道理,便不再多言。 At this time, the aide has carried two glasses of purple rum. 这时候,侍从已经端上来了两杯紫蔗酒。 Count Ivan seizes the chance to ask: „Have you seen a middle-aged man? His height probably seven chi (0.33 m) high, the gold/metal bluing eye, is solemn-looking, the waist is matching a knight sword of purple scabbard......” 埃文伯爵趁机问道:“请问你见过一位中年男人吗？他的身高大概七尺高,金发蓝眼,面容冷峻,腰间配着一柄紫色剑鞘的骑士剑……” Listens to the description of Count Ivan, the aide recalled carefully, shakes the head saying: „Sorry, this Sir, I never sees the person that you have said.” 听完埃文伯爵的描述,侍从仔细回想了一下,摇头道:“抱歉,这位大人,我从未见过您说的这人。” Count Ivan nods, is not disappointed. After all the Prince Reich trail is not easy to seek. 埃文伯爵点点头,并没有太失望。毕竟莱希亲王的踪迹不是那么容易寻找的。 This time they arrive at Ice Rock City, is holding the attitude of trying. 这次他们来到冰岩城,也只是抱着试一试的态度。 He also asked immediately: Were the welfare lotteries that „below these people discussed what thing? Can introduce with us?” 他随即又问道:“下面那些人谈论的福利彩票是什么东西？能跟我们介绍一下吗？” „Naturally!” On the face of aide exuded the red light immediately, seemed also interested in the welfare lotteries, „ that was the welfare lotteries, was our honored feudal lords, the great northern boundary protector, Sir Count Angelie designed, the benefits that it is said to raise money is unable to take care of oneself the destitute civilians who provides to these life. “当然！”侍从的脸上顿时泛起了红光,似乎对福利彩票也非常感兴趣,“那是福利彩票,是我们尊贵的领主,伟大的北境守护者,安格列伯爵大人设计的,据说是为了筹钱给那些生活无法自理的穷困平民提供的福利。 However, Count Sir claimed, the person who is willing to invest to purchase the lottery ticket, for the good man who the redemption enterprise contributes the strength! Should be rewarded! 不过,伯爵大人声称,所有愿意出资购买彩票的人,都是为救赎事业贡献力量的善人！理应得到奖励！ Therefore, every month the lottery ticket can draw a lottery, the lottery ticket number that so long as you purchase was selected, you drew a prize-winning ticket! 所以,每个月彩票都会开奖,只要你购买的彩票号码被选中,你就中奖了！ A lottery ticket wants three copper coin, but if drew a prize-winning ticket, can win the rewards of over a thousand copper coin! Even heard that also some people have won the gold coin...... ” 一张彩票只要三枚铜币,但如果中奖了,就可以赢得上千铜币的奖励！甚至听说还有人赢过金币……” Listens to the aide to explain verbosely, Count Ivan is drinking the purple rum, suddenly opens the mouth to ask: „Can my such outsider buy?” 听着侍从絮絮叨叨的讲解,埃文伯爵喝着紫蔗酒,忽然开口问道:“那我这样的外乡人能买吗？” „Sure. Count Sir said that this is to the benefits of all north boundary people, any northern boundary person can purchase.” “当然可以。伯爵大人说了,这是给所有北境人的福利,任何北境人都可以购买。” „If I amn't north the boundary person?” “那如果我不是北境人呢？” „This......” aide touched the back of the head, is hesitating the say/way, „should not have the issue, I bought the lottery ticket before time, had once seen recited Poet roaming also to buy the lottery ticket, but that fellow the boundary from the remoteness arrived here it is said.” “这个嘛……”侍从摸了摸后脑勺,沉吟着道,“应该也没问题吧,我之前去买彩票的时候,就曾看到过一位吟游诗人也买到了彩票,而那个家伙据说是从遥远南境来到这里的。” Count Ivan pulls out a silver coin, throws to the aide, told: „Buys 100 welfare lotteries for me, the remaining money are to kindly give your tip.” 埃文伯爵掏出一枚银币,抛给侍从,吩咐道:“给我买来一百张福利彩票,剩下的钱就是赏给你的小费。” „Good, please wait a bit!” The aides accept the silver coin immediately, ran off speedily. “好,您请稍等！”侍从立刻收下银币,一溜烟地跑开了。 A silver coin can exchange 1000 copper coin, is used to purchase 100 lottery tickets also to want 300 copper coin, the remaining 700 copper coin may turn over to aide. 一枚银币可以兑换一千枚铜币,用来购买一百张彩票也只要三百铜币,剩下的七百铜币可就归侍从自己了。 Such cheap business he naturally cannot hesitate. 这样便宜的买卖他自然不会犹豫。 Sally has doubts saying: „Are you interested in these lottery tickets?” 莎莉娅疑惑道:“你对这些彩票感兴趣？” „Right. A very interesting thing.” “对呀。很有意思的一个东西。” Count Ivan is drinking, in the vision is flashing the strange ray. 埃文伯爵喝着酒,目光中闪动着奇异的光芒。
