Soon, the tavern aide one big folded the black slip of paper to place in front of Count Ivan. 不多时,酒馆侍从就将一大叠黑色纸片放在了埃文伯爵面前。 Count Ivan nods toward the opposite party with a smile, the aide then bows to salute however under the retreat. 埃文伯爵笑着朝对方点了点头,侍从便躬身行礼然后退下。 „Is this welfare lotteries?” “这就是福利彩票？” Sally takes out a black slip of paper, looks at the above white digit number, asked curiously. 莎莉娅取出一张黑色纸片,看着上面的白色数字号码,好奇地问道。 Count Ivan also took one, sized up carefully, then puts out the ignition candle its ignition. 埃文伯爵也取了一张,仔细打量了一番,然后拿出引火烛将其点燃。 The black slip of paper gives birth to the orange flame, burns to the white number part, leaps the indigo blue flame light, simultaneously unique burnt stink spreads rapidly. 黑色纸片生出橘黄色的火苗,烧到白色号码部分,又腾起靛蓝色的焰光,同时一股独特的焦臭味迅速扩散开来。 Count Ivan discards the lottery ticket that soon burns through, said: „What this uses with the bond is the same type of paper, but the dye is different.” 埃文伯爵丢掉快要燃尽的彩票,道:“这跟债券用的是同一种纸张,但染料不一样。” „Therefore?” “所以呢？” „Before the bond came out, I guessed that Count Angelie mastered more advanced paper technology, now looks like, that's true. This indicated, the lottery ticket or the bond, are unable to be fabricated.” “之前债券出来的时候,我就猜测安格列伯爵掌握了更先进的造纸工艺,现在看来,确实如此。这说明,无论是彩票还是债券,都无法被伪造。” „Count Angelie issues this type of lottery ticket, what schemes?” “安格列伯爵发行这种彩票,是图谋什么呢？” „You thought that what he is scheming?” “你觉得他在图谋什么？” Sally is holding appreciatively the welfare lotteries in hand, hesitates to say earnestly: 莎莉娅把玩着手中的福利彩票,认真地沉吟道: „ To be honest with you, reads front these welfare lotteries, I cannot bear want to know that they do have to draw a prize-winning ticket, although I also know, even if drew a prize-winning ticket, is the rewards of several thousand copper coin, but could not bear think, as if they have a mysterious charm. “不瞒你说,就看着面前这一张张福利彩票,我都忍不住想要知道它们到底有没有中奖,虽然我也知道,哪怕中奖了,也不过是几千铜币的奖励而已,但仍忍不住去想,仿佛它们有种神奇的魔力。 Can have such seduction regarding the females of my such Prince, obviously these welfare lotteries will have the strong attraction regarding these civilians. ” 对于我这样一位亲王之女都能有这样的诱惑,可见这些福利彩票对于那些平民会有多大的吸引力。” „Yes!” Count Ivan points at downstairs these still to discuss bustling the alcoholics of welfare lotteries, say with emotion, „Count Angelie gently, has the so accurate assurance to the will of the people young, is simply fearful!” “是啊！”埃文伯爵指着楼下那些还在热火朝天地讨论着福利彩票的酒客们,感慨道,“安格列伯爵年轻轻轻,就对人心有如此精准的把握,简直可怕！” The Sally sparkling big eyes are staring at Count Ivan, said with a smile: „I hear you so to highly praise a person for the first time.” 莎莉娅亮晶晶的大眼睛凝视着埃文伯爵,笑道:“我还是第一次听到你如此盛赞一个人。” Count Ivan shrugs, the forced smile said: „ Was the contemporaries, the Count Angelie present power and influence has far exceeded in me, how I was not possibly convinced. 埃文伯爵耸了耸肩,苦笑道:“身为同龄人,安格列伯爵现在的权势早已远超于我,我又怎么可能不服气呢。 Let alone, he comes a common Baron family, but I, actually am the Saint knight family's descendant, sometimes hehe, I even felt oneself cannot be joined to the Saint knight bloodlines. ” 更何况,他可是出身一个不起眼的男爵家族,而我,却是圣骑士家族的后裔,呵呵,有时候我甚至都觉得自己配不上圣骑士血脉。” Sally cast aside the attractive red lip, said: „Count Angelie is not fierce! He can have the present position, what are more depends on the St. Hilde family that if not for he married Vera St. Hilde, how also to have a meteoric rise?” 莎莉娅撇了撇诱人的红唇,道:“安格列伯爵也没有那么厉害吧！他能有现在的地位,更多的是靠的圣希尔德家族,若不是他娶了薇拉・圣希尔德,又怎么会一路平步青云？” Count Ivan actually shakes the head to say earnestly: „No, is not the St. Hilde family that he depends on, but is he who the St. Hilde family depends on!” 埃文伯爵却认真地摇摇头道:“不,不是他靠的圣希尔德家族,而是圣希尔德家族靠的他！” Sees a fiancee face to think otherwise, Count Ivan sighed: „If you conscientiously study nearly twice north boundary the chaotic process, understands, perhaps without Count Angelie, present the northern lord of boundary must change surname St. Theon.” 见未婚妻一脸不以为然,埃文伯爵叹息道:“如果你认真研究一下近两次北境之乱的经过,就会明白,没有安格列伯爵,现在的北境之主恐怕就要改姓圣席恩了。” Sally also some do not seem convinced, said: „But so, Count Angelie own intelligence and ability expenditure on the third-rater, distributes these welfare lotteries even, only to make some change, really has the demeanor of losing the aristocrat.” 莎莉娅似乎还有些不服气,道:“但就算如此,安格列伯爵将自己的聪明才智花费在下等人身上,发行这些福利彩票,只为挣一些小钱,实在有失贵族的风度。” „, This is not a change.” Count Ivan shakes the head again and again, „ I do not know the concrete probability that the welfare lotteries draw a prize-winning ticket is many, even 1/1000 were good, but many rewards are ten copper coin, the small prizes of hundred copper coin, the award estimated that most only has 1/10000 possibilities. “不不不,这可不是一点小钱。”埃文伯爵连连摇头,“我不知道福利彩票中奖的具体概率是多少,就算有千分之一好了,但其中很多奖励都是十枚铜币,百枚铜币的小奖,大奖估计最多只有万分之一的可能性。 Like this calculates, compared with income that the sell welfare lotteries yield, these bonuses are not worth mentioning. 这样算下来,与出售福利彩票获得的收益相比,那些奖金根本就不值一提。 You have a look at now the welfare lotteries in the grand occasion that Ice Rock City sells, I here 300,000 civilians only purchase welfare lotteries even per month per person, that is close to the income of 900,000 copper coin! ” 你看看如今福利彩票在冰岩城售卖的盛况,我就算这里的三十万平民每人每个月只购买一张福利彩票吧,那就是接近九十万铜币的收入！” „That not many, is 900 gold coins, I remember right words, imperial family every year tax revenue in 9 million gold coins above.” “那也没有很多呀,也就是九百金币而已,我记得没错的话,皇室每年的税收收入都在九百万金币以上。” Count Ivan shows the whites of the eyes, sighed oneself this fiancee to be well-born secretly, did not know the world hardship, came with the tax revenue of imperial family unexpectedly compared with this. 埃文伯爵翻了个白眼,暗叹自己这位未婚妻出身高贵,不知人间疾苦,竟然用皇室的税收收入来与此相比。 Therefore, he has to explain patiently: „ Do not forget, the income of these 900 gold coins are only one month, moreover is only a Ice Rock City city. 于是,他只好耐心地解释道:“你不要忘了,这九百金币的收入只是一个月的时间,而且还只是冰岩城一座城市而已。 If the welfare lotteries the boundary north entire promote slowly, affects to more than ten million population, you also thought that this income is a small number? ” 如果福利彩票慢慢在整个北境推广开来,波及到上千万的人口,你还觉得这笔收入是个小数目吗？” Sally is dumbfounded immediately, long time awakes to grasp principles suddenly: „Ivan, you said, this is an alternative tax revenue?” 莎莉娅顿时哑口无言,半晌才突然醒悟道:“埃文,你说,这是不是一种另类的税收？” „Intelligent!” Count Ivan hit a sound to refer, said, „you can think of this point, understood part of Count Angelie exquisite idea finally.” “聪明！”埃文伯爵打了个响指,称赞道,“你能想到这一点,才总算明白了安格列伯爵精巧构思的一部分。” „Part? Do the welfare lotteries have other uses?” “一部分？难道福利彩票还有其他用处？” „Naturally has. If you thought that Count Angelie wants to amass money with this type of lottery ticket, that despised this talent.” “当然有。如果你觉得安格列伯爵只是想用这种彩票来敛财,那就太看低这位天才了。” „What that does Count Angelie have to scheme?” The Sally beautiful eye circulation, asked earnestly. “那安格列伯爵还有什么图谋？”莎莉娅美目流转,认真地问道。 Count Ivan carries the wine glass to come to sip one lightly, said easely: „You think that what the original intention of this welfare lotteries design is?” 埃文伯爵端起酒杯来轻抿一口,悠然道:“你想想这个福利彩票设计的初衷是什么？” Sally recalled a moment ago narration of tavern aide, some not too said definite: „Really is to rescue the poor person? Isn't this pompous excuse that Count Angelie finds out?” 莎莉娅回想了一下刚才酒馆侍从的讲述,有些不太确定地说道:“难道真是为了救助穷人？这难道不是安格列伯爵想出的一个冠冕堂皇的借口？” „Ha, Sally, you underestimated the Count Angelie bearing and pattern.” “哈哈哈,莎莉娅,你太小看安格列伯爵的气度和格局了。” „Is it possible that does he really plan to be used to rescue the poor person the income of lottery ticket?” “莫非他真的打算将彩票的收入用来救助穷人？” „Yes.” Count Ivan definitely nods, later shakes the head, „, but he does that does not stem from the benevolence, at least is not completely.” “是的。”埃文伯爵肯定地点点头,随后又摇摇头,“但他这么做并非出自善心,至少不完全是。” „Is that for what?” “那是为了什么？” The Count Ivan vision flashes, asked back: „You think again, the organization that at present in the brilliance empire is responsible for rescuing the poor person which is?” 埃文伯爵目光闪动,反问道:“你再想想,目前光辉帝国内负责救助穷人的机构是哪个？” „Is the church.” “是教会吧。” „Why do they do that?” “那他们为什么这么做呢？” „Why?” Sally is somewhat in a daze, „isn't rescue destitute the responsibility of church?” “为什么？”莎莉娅有些发愣,“救助穷困不是教会的职责吗？” Count Ivan smiles, asked: „Therefore the church rescue is destitute, really didn't seek any return?” 埃文伯爵嘿嘿一笑,又问道:“所以教会救助穷困,就真的不求任何回报吗？” „What do you actually want to say?” “你到底想说什么？” Count Ivan lowered the sound, said: „Poor person's belief is more reverent than the rich person, the old person is more reverent than the young people, the sickness is more reverent than...... Sally the healthy person, the destitute people of these lower classes, are actually the church firmest support communities.” 埃文伯爵压低了声音,道:“穷人的信仰比富人虔诚,老人比年轻人虔诚,病患比健康者虔诚……莎莉娅,这些社会底层的穷困民众,其实才是教会最为坚定的拥护群体。” Sally elegant is pressed, as if a little understood the meaning of Count Ivan. 莎莉娅的秀美再次蹙起,似乎有点明白了埃文伯爵的意思。 Liquor of Count Ivan in the cup tosses down, said easely: „ Redemption is a responsibility, but also is a authority! 埃文伯爵将杯中酒一饮而尽,悠然道:“救赎是一种责任,但也是一项权柄！ But Count Angelie, he wants to steal the authority of church! ” 而安格列伯爵,他想窃取教会的权柄！” Sally was terrified and startled, stares in a big way the beautiful eye, does not dare to believe sees own fiance. 莎莉娅悚然而惊,瞪大了美目,不敢置信地看着自己的未婚夫。 Count Ivan put down the wine glass slowly, said with a smile: „Ok, the liquor of civilians drank up, we should taste the liquor of aristocrat.” 埃文伯爵慢慢地放下了酒杯,笑道:“好了,平民的酒喝完了,我们该去尝尝贵族的酒了。” Sally has not recovered from the shock, long time said: „You say Red Fort?” 莎莉娅还没从刚才的震惊中回过神来,半晌才道:“你是说红堡？” „Right. Arrives at Ice Rock City, if not visit the master, too to be disrespectful.” A Count Ivan face is natural. “对啊。来到冰岩城,如果不拜访一下主人,岂不是太失礼了。”埃文伯爵一脸理所当然。 Sally winked the beautiful big eye, said scruple: „But...... Count Angelie is not in Red Fort now.” 莎莉娅眨了眨美丽的大眼睛,迟疑道:“但……安格列伯爵现在并不在红堡中呀。” „That is not better!” “那不是更好！” Count Ivan gives a calm smile, abandons several copper coin to work as the tip on the table, then sets out to walk outward. 埃文伯爵淡然一笑,又在桌上扔下几枚铜币当小费,然后便起身向外走去。 Sally gawked staring, hastily also with. 莎莉娅愣了愣,连忙也跟了上去。
