王权至上的国家,贵族总是有些令人匪夷所思的特权。For examplein the Black Rock Citymain roadcenter, with the jadestreet of smallstone blockbesieged city, abovevehiclesfew, appearsveryspacious. No matterperipherytraffic lanehowcrowded, does not see the vehiclesto takethisspaciousstreet. Thisis the aristocrattraffic lane.
比如在莱岩城主干道中央,有一条用小石墩围城的玉石马路,上面车辆寥寥,显得十分空旷。但是不管周围车道是多么的拥挤,也不见有车辆走上这条空旷的马路。这就是贵族车道。
The so-calledaristocrattraffic lane, as the name suggests, thatis the path that the aristocratcarriagecantake. Thisisaristocratstodemonstrate the ownspecial positionandprevents the luxuriouscarriageto be blownrubs the street of construction.
所谓贵族车道,顾名思义,那就是贵族马车才能走的道路。这是贵族们为了显示自己特殊地位和防止豪华马车被刮蹭而修建的马路。Ifthere iscommonervehiclesto walk, andwas seized, thatwill be facing the fine and treatment of bucklecar(riage)in additiondetention.
如果有平民车辆走上来,并且被逮住了,那将面临着罚款、扣车外加拘禁的待遇。At this time, has the carriageat a moderate pacetravel of yellowGolden Lionsignon the aristocrattraffic lane. InthissignBlack Rock Citymost peopleknew, becausethatistheirCity LordCountRobert the clanemblem of family.
此时,一辆标有黄金狮头标志的马车正不紧不慢的行驶在贵族车道上。这个标志莱岩城中大多数人都认识,因为那是他们城主罗伯特伯爵家族的族徽。Bevin who leaves the stagefrom the Vincentmeetingahead of timeis sittingininside, the face that at this timeheis takingonecupto be tumbling the thicktea of steam, after the steam, hisbladetruncatesslightlysomefloodred. How longalthoughhas not treatedat the meeting, buthe was really actually respectedmanyliquor.
从文森聚会中提前退场的贝文正坐在里面,此时他正拿着一杯翻滚着热气的浓浓茶水,热气后他刀削的脸庞微微有些泛红。虽然在聚会中并未待多久,但他却着实被敬了不少酒。Althoughsomewhatdizzyhowever, butat presentBevin'smoodisgood. Regarding the harvest of today'smeeting, heis pleased.
虽然有些晕晕然,但目前贝文的心情还是不错的。对于今天聚会的收获,他感到很满意。Hepossiblywhile convenientdid not certainly pass by the manor, thesearistocratson the scenedo not thinklike thisthattheywill think onlyRobertFamilyandDelkfamily relationshipalreadyintimateenough.
他当然不可能是顺便路过庄园的,那些在场的贵族也不会这样想,他们心里只会认为罗伯特家族与德尔克家族关系已经足够亲密。ButthisisBevin the effect that wantsto obtain, hefavors the strength and potential of DelkFamily, particularlyare manyMagicianin the situation.
而这正是贝文想要得到的效果,他看好德尔克家族的实力和潜力,尤其是再多一个魔法师的情况下。Vincentin Bevin's eyesis a playboy, butcurrentlythisplayboyhad the goodluck, hewill havegreatlywill marry very much possiblytoMagician, in this case, thisplayboyhad the use value. Thereforetodayhetakes the breachfromVincentthis, toDelkFamilyreleasegood intentions.文森在贝文眼里不过就是个纨绔,但现在这个纨绔有了好运气,他有很大可能会娶到一个魔法师,这样的话,这个纨绔就有了利用价值。所以今天他从文森这作为突破口,向德尔克家族释放善意。DelkFamilynaturallycannot the olive branch that refuses the City Lordsecond sonto throw, thisis a win-winaspect.
德尔克家族自然不会拒绝城主次子抛来的橄榄枝,这是一个双赢的局面。„Tosuccessfulwent a step further......”Bevinto sip a tea, satisfiedwantsto say.
“离成功又进一步啊……”贝文呷了口茶水,惬意的想道。Among the aristocratsdoes not have the secret, the aristocratyouth who thesemake merryknow the news of extensionwharf. HowBevinpossiblydoes not know.
贵族之间没有秘密,那些吃喝玩乐的贵族青年都知道扩建码头的消息。贝文怎么可能不知道。In fact, heisa group ofpeople who inBlack Rock City earliest knowsthisnews.
事实上,他算是莱岩城里面最早知道这消息的一批人。Heremembersclearlythatdayafternoon, his fatherRobertoldcountshouted the study roomhim, gavehisarchivesabout the extensionwharf, andpattedhisshoulder saying that
他清楚的记得那日午后,他的父亲罗伯特老伯爵将他喊到书房,递给他关于扩建码头的公文,并拍着他肩膀说道,„Theseyearsyoudowas very good, has achievedmanyachievements, compared with your wasteBig Brother...... Howeverwants, whenCity Lord, thiscapitalis insufficient. Iwill soon resign, regardingbelow, appointedCity Lordcandidate, only thensuggestionpower, decisivekeyor the ballots of Black Rock Cityallaristocrats.”
“这些年你做的很好,取得了不少成就,比你那废物大哥强多了……但是想要当城主,这点资本是不够的。我即将卸任,对于下任城主的人选只有建议权,决定性的关键还是莱岩城所有贵族的选票。”„Yourcapitalis insufficient, butexpands the wharfnowis an opportunity. Iandfamilyinsideeldershave said that. Ifyoucanmake the progressinthisabove, won the benefit and gloryforRobertFamily. In the familyfullywill supportyouto be in the City Lordposition......”
“你的资本不够,但现在扩建码头是个机会。我和家族里面的长辈们说过了,.如果你能在这上面取得成绩,为罗伯特家族赢得利益和荣耀。家族里面就会全力支持你登上城主的位置……”Bevin30strongyears, hasintenseseizingto the rightthis year**time, hedoes not certainly wantto missthisopportunity. Sinceheknows after thisnews, secretlyhas been preparing.
贝文今年30壮岁,正是对权利有着强烈攫取**的时候,他当然不想错过这个机会。所以自从他知道这个消息后,就一直暗暗准备着。WharfnominalownershippowerthatnaturallyisTitus Kingdom, Black Rock City must defer to the tributetax money of wharfnumberevery yearto the Titus Kingdomroyal family.
码头名义上的归属权那当然是布兰国的,莱岩城每年还要按照码头数目向布兰国王室上贡税款。Such that just likeJoah said that the tax affairsproject of kingdomis more than 50, the Black Rock Citytax affairsprojecthasclose100, the benefit of insidedifferenceis astonishing, putsin the wharf, the benefitwas bigger.
但是正如乔希亚说的那样,王国的税务项目是50多条,莱岩城的税务项目就有接近100条,里面差额的利益惊人,放到码头上,其间的利益就更大了。
The Black Rock Cityaristocratencirclesregarding the ownershippower of wharfisto adopt the defaultway, so long asyouexhibitenoughstrength, strongallcompetitors, after the Black Rock Citygovernmentparliament confirmed that youcanhave the wharf.莱岩城贵族圈对于码头的归属权是采取默认方式的,只要你摆出足够的实力,强过所有的竞争对手,经过莱岩城政府议会确认后,你就可以拥有码头。RobertFamilyis one of the Black Rock Cityfourbigcountfamilies, does not use the benefit that struggles to gain to have. Butthisis notBevin'sgoal, hemustdefeatotherthreecountfamilieslarge scale, proveshisabilityto the clan.
罗伯特家族是莱岩城四大伯爵家族之一,不用争就可以得到该得的利益。但这不是贝文的目标,他必须要大幅度的击败其他三家伯爵家族,向族里证明他的能力。Butfourrespected familiesstruggletheseyears, each otheralreadyknew the whole story, wantsto defeat the opposite partyto be easier said than donelarge scale. ButBevinbrainis truly flexible, since the interiorcould not findanythingto boost, thatputs the outside the vision.
但四大家族斗争这么些年,彼此早就知根知底,想要大幅度击败对方谈何容易。但贝文脑子确实活泛,既然内部找不到什么助力,那就把眼光放到外部。Bevinis very clear, wantsto haveotheraristocrats'support, anyprestigeandfriendshipthatare useless. Musttie upthemwith the actualbenefitonownship.
贝文很明白,想要得到其他贵族的支持,什么声望、交情那都是没用的。必须要用实际的利益将他们绑在自己的船上。
Does the benefitcomefrom where? That can only be the newly-built24wharves. Bevin'sideacaptures the mosttogether with the aristocrats of othermediumstrengths the wharf, this not only can apportion the follower, oneselfobtainwill be also more. Moreoverthere areimplications of thesebenefits, thesearistocratsbecome the boosts of theirfamily. Suchachievementwill certainly causefamilysatisfied!
利益从何而来?那只能是新建的24个码头了。贝文的想法是连同其他中等实力的贵族去夺得绝大部分的码头,这样不仅能分给追随者,自己得到的也会更多。而且有了这些利益的牵连,这些贵族都将会成为他们家族的助力。这样的成果一定会使家族内部满意!Histhese daysbusywon initial success, competent the aristocratlikeDelkFamilyhediscussedinitiallyhas gathered togetherseveral. Althoughinthishas the relations of familyinfluence, but the mostmeritlies in the method that hemaneuvers among groups.
他这些天的忙碌已经初见成效,像德尔克家族这样有实力的贵族他已经初步谈拢了几个。这里面虽然有家族影响力的关系,但是绝大部分功劳还是在于他纵横捭阖的手段。„IfIameldest son of familyshouldhavewell......”, Bevinhas pressed the temples, frowns to say. The issue that after this is also heis sensible, frequentlythinks.
“如果我是家族的长子那该有多好……”,贝文按了按太阳穴,皱着眉头想道。这也是他懂事后经常想到的问题。Yes, damnaristocrattitleeldest sonfollowingundertaking to manufacture. Because ofthissystem, claninsideold personhas been neither friendly nor alooftohismanner......
是的,该死的贵族爵位长子继承制。就是因为这个制度,族里面的老人一直对他态度若即若离……As forall dayBig Brother who thatdrawssomestrangeportraits? Althoughon is very from a young age goodtohim, butBevina littledisdainstothisBig Brother. In his opinion, this Big Brotheristypicalignoring a proper occupationandexcessive preoccupation with trivia saps the will.
至于那个整天画些稀奇古怪画像的大哥?虽然自小就对他很好,但贝文对这个大哥还是有点不屑的。在他看来,他这个大哥是典型的不务正业、玩物丧志。Bevindeeplyinspires, infatuatedlooks that on the compartmentyellowGolden Lionchildclanemblemdiscussedsilently: „Iwill show that lookstoyou, Iam the RobertFamilymost appropriatesuccessor!”
贝文深吸一口气,痴迷的看着车厢上面的黄金狮子族徽默默念道:“我会证明给你们看,我才是罗伯特家族最合适的继承人!”Thump......
咚咚……WhenbeyondBevinpatrollingthing, the vehicle doorwas soundedgently,
就在贝文神游物外的时候,车门被轻轻敲响,„Comes in!”
“进来!”„MasterBevin!” A stewardtouchedtypepersonto walk.
“贝文少爷!”一个管家摸样的人走了进来。„Un, isGrey, sits.”Bevinnodded, thisstewardheis not naturally strange, thisisfollowssince childhoodinold person, helpinghimhandle the majority ofmatters.
“嗯,是格雷啊,坐吧。”贝文点了点头,这管家他自然不陌生,这是从小就跟在身边的老人,帮他打理了大部分事情。„The news that justobtained, Azure Wolf GangGang Leaderwas assassinated.”
“刚得到的消息,青狼帮的帮主被刺杀。”„Azure Wolf Gang? Is the faction that BlakeFamilysupports. Haha, good that kills! Knows that iswhokills?”
“青狼帮?哦,是布莱克家族扶持的帮派啊。哈哈,杀的好!知道是谁杀的吗?”BlakeFamilyis one of the Black Rock Cityfourbigcountfamilies, thisfamilyProficientBlack Rock Cityalmost50%commercialtrades. ButCountBlake is also the Black Rock CityfinancialChief Head.
布莱克家族是莱岩城四大伯爵家族之一,该家族掌握着莱岩城几乎一半的商业贸易。而布莱克伯爵本人也是莱岩城的财务总长。Grey: „IsGhost Face!”
格雷:“是鬼面!”Bevineyebrowselects: „Well, isthisGhost Face. Ironblademeetingassociation president who previousthatAstonFamilysupportsnotalsobyhomicide?”
贝文眉毛一挑:“咦,又是这个鬼面。上次那奥斯顿家族扶持的铁刀会会长不也是被他杀了吗?”AstonFamily is also Black Rock Citycountfamily, before thisfamily, is the piratefamily background, afterward when the Titus Kingdomfirst generationkingestablished the country, theygavemanystrength, finallywas sealed the count. Nowcloses right up against the Lehnauriver, did the deal of smuggling, black marketandtraffic in personssimply. CountAstonisBlack Rock CityVice-City Lord.
奥斯顿家族也是莱岩城的的伯爵家族,这家族以前是海盗出身,后来布兰国第一代君王建立国家时,他们出了不少力,最后被封了伯爵。现在靠着莱瑙河,索性就干起了走私、黑市、贩卖人口的勾当。奥斯顿伯爵本人是莱岩城的副城主。„Yes.”
“是的。”„Haha, ifcould not findthisGhost Face, Ialsoreallywantto drinkonecupwithhim, thanks.”Bevinlifts the teacupto say with a smile.
“哈哈,如果不是找不到这个鬼面,我还真想和他喝一杯,以示感谢。”贝文举着茶杯笑道。„Hehe, whodid not say.”
“呵呵,谁说不是呢。”Clatterclatterandclatterclatter......
嗒嗒、嗒嗒……
When theywere discussingGhost Facefull of enthusiasm, suddenlywas a Rapid Speedhoofbeathas curled, scoldedandsquealto be lingering on faintlyimmediately.
就在两人兴致勃勃的谈着鬼面时,忽然就是一阵急速的马蹄声卷过,呵斥声、尖叫声顿时不绝于耳。Bevinknitting the browshead.
贝文皱了皱眉头。Greystewardlifts the window curtainsto sayslightly: „Garrisons the troop in hall.”
格雷管家稍稍掀开窗帘道:“是警备厅的骑兵队。”Bevin: „Troop? Suchsharplyis hurrying along...... What happened?”
贝文:“骑兵队?这么急着赶路……发生什么事了?”„Pleasewait a bit, Young master”
“请稍等,少爷”Said. Greygets outto send fordrawing on a cavalryto question. In a minute, Greycomplexionstrangeenteringcompartment.
说完。格雷下车派人招来一个骑兵问话。片刻,格雷脸色怪异的走进车厢。„Ghost Facekilled people.”
“鬼面又杀人了。”„, Whichbad luckghost is thistime? It is not MatthewsFamily, haha......”
“哦,这次又是哪个倒霉鬼?不会是马修斯家族的吧,哈哈……”MatthewsFamily, Black Rock City one of the fourbigcountfamilies.

马修斯家族,莱岩城的四大伯爵家族之一。此家族经营的是铁匠铺和兵器铺,武士的长剑、魔法师的魔杖等等战斗装备都是他们经营的项目。马修斯伯爵本人则是莱岩城的治安官,负责城内的安全事务。„IsVincent.”
“是文森。”„Vincent...... WhichVincent?”Bevinis a little absent-minded, amongflasheshethinksownhearingpossiblya littleissue.
“文森……哪个文森?”贝文有点恍惚,一霎那间他觉得自己听力可能有点问题。„DelkFamily......”
“德尔克家族的……”Bang!

贝文手中精致的茶杯瞬间化作碎瓦。
