In the morning, Rod regains consciousness from sleepiness. He sits on the chair rests, does not know when from starts, forms the habit of sitting sleeps. Is this world is probably unsafe, making one not have the security sense, sits rests, once has the danger, can respond immediately, but lying down, once encounters the danger, did not have the time to struggle...... 清晨,罗德从困意中苏醒。他是坐在椅子上睡的,不知道从什么时候开始,养成了坐着睡觉的习惯。大概是这个世界太不安全,让人没有安全感,坐着睡一旦有危险,可以立刻反应过来,而躺着嘛,一旦遭遇危险,就没有时间挣扎了…… Opens the window of tavern, heading on is not the sunlight and rain and dew, but is that smokes the day ozone — — a collection excrement labor that is dragging the animal-drawn cart is stopping in the tavern back door, purchases the inexpensive excrement from the boss in tavern. 推开酒馆的窗户,扑面而来的不是阳光和雨露,而是那熏天的臭气——一个拖着板车的集粪工正停在酒馆后门,向酒馆的老板购买廉价的粪便。 Yes, the collection purchase excrement...... the collection excrement labor, this could be said as professional one, Kislev not like Empire that compelled most painstakingly, except for Erengrad and capital Kislev, most town did not have the sewer, every day, extraction of excrement was a major problem, cannot fall on the avenue directly, thereupon, expedited a volume of excrement labor such occupation. The excrement of person and domestic animal is not useless, they can be the manure, fuel. Yes, in some impoverished areas, but also is making the fuel with the excrement. But the manure, this world does not have the chemical manure, then also needs the natural manure. The excrement is the best manure. 是的,收集购买粪便……集粪工,这可以说是最苦逼的职业之一了,基斯里夫不像帝国,除了厄伦格拉德和首都基斯里夫,大多数城镇是没有下水道的,每天,粪便的排出就是个大问题,总不能直接倒在大街上,于是乎,就催生出了集粪工这样一个职业。人和牲畜的粪便并不是毫无用处,它们可以作为肥料,还有燃料。是的,在一些贫困的地区,还在用粪便做燃料。而肥料,这个世界没有化工肥料,便也需要自然的肥料。粪便就是最好的肥料。 Collection excrement Guild in every morning collection excrement from house to house, then packs a car(riage), transports/fortunes to the city outside, sold to the peasant household again, obtains few rewards by this, maintains their life. Rod does not know that Caroline awoke at this time, if makes her see at present this scene, does not know that will make what feelings. 集粪工会在每天清晨挨家挨户的收集粪便,然后装满一车,运到城外,再卖给农户,以此获得少量的报酬,来维持他们的生活。罗德不知道卡洛琳这时候睡醒了没有,如果让她看到眼前这一幕,不知道又会作何感想。 „Rod, Rod......” “罗德,罗德……” Rod closes the window, in order to avoid makes the excrement stink float the room. Out of the door resounded the loud and rapid knock, can know from that big voice Rod, is that dwarf. 罗德关上窗,以免让粪臭味飘进房间。门外响起了大声而急促敲门声,从那大嗓门罗德也可以知道,准是那个矮子。 Wrapped clothes casually, opens the door, Dwarf Bogor is raising two pot beer to stand in the entrance, these that „yesterday drank were too difficult to drink, was not the liquor, I bought two pot Pigsy black beer on the street in the morning specially, hehe, this was the beer. Mother, in this team, only then you can drink with me, a Caroline woman, could not drink several, Talinam said that was your aide, is not willing to drink, must frequently keep sober, Yesikveiki not to mention, what is the liquor he does not know.” 随便套了件衣服,打开门,矮人博古尔正提着两壶啤酒站在门口,“昨天喝的那些太难喝了,根本算不上酒,我早上专门在街上买了两壶皮格斯黑啤,嘿嘿,这才算啤酒。娘的,这支队伍里只有你可以和我喝,卡洛琳一个女人,喝不了几口,塔林纳姆说是你的侍从,不肯喝,要时刻保持清醒,叶斯科维奇就更不用说了,什么叫酒他都不知道。” Bogor is saying, must rush. 博古尔说着,就要闯进来。 Was blocked by Rod in out of the door. 被罗德拦在了门外。 „Hē, orders some under wine and meat while convenient.” “下去喝吧,顺便点些下酒肉。” Rod spoke. 罗德说到。 In the morning, the tavern hall apparently did not have last night noise and noisy, the servants is still cleaning up the mess that last night guests are leaving behind, many furniture have placed neatly. Rod and Bogor chose a relatively peaceful place to sit down, Slayer impatient poured the young wine, however, just with drank one, two people then detected that the flavor was not right. 上午时分,酒馆大厅显然没有昨晚的喧嚣和嘈杂,佣人们还在收拾着昨晚客人们留下的烂摊子,许多桌椅都已摆放整齐。罗德和博古尔选了一处相对安静的地方坐下,屠夫迫不及待的倒起了小酒,然而,刚刚拿起来喝一口,两人便发觉味道不对。 „This is not the Pigsy beer, damn, that peddler deceives me!” “这不是皮格斯啤酒,该死的,那个小贩骗我！” Bogor flies into a rage, roars must look for that the person theory of selling the liquor, was blocked promptly by Rod...... 博古尔勃然大怒,吼着就要去找那个卖酒的人理论,被罗德及时拦下…… „Do your liquor how much money buy?” “你这酒多少钱买的？” Rod asked. 罗德问到。 „Three Silver Shilling.” Dwarf angry answering. “三枚银先令。”矮人愤怒的答到。 „Three silver coins you counted on that buys the pure Pigsy beer? If you are the liquor sell, you will do business like this? You know the Pigsy liquor the cost price.” “三枚银币你指望买到纯正的皮格斯啤酒？如果你是酒贩,你会这样做买卖？你知道皮格斯酒的成本价。” Rod spoke of a smile. Bogor had nothing to say in reply for a while. 罗德笑着说到。博古尔一时无言以对。 „Codeword Fort is not the big city, here small traders and peddlers are many, the fabrication sells false also many, the liquor native who you bought a moment ago is well aware, is Kislev the local liquor, but pastes on Dwarf black beer the sign. You did not need to pursue, that was the itinerant hawker, which does not have long known. Which they arrive, which sells, at this time perhaps had gone out of town.” “暗语堡并不是什么大城市,这里的小商小贩很多,造假卖假的也很多,你刚才买的酒当地人心知肚明,就是基斯里夫的本土酒,只不过贴上矮人黑啤的牌子。你也不用去追了,那是流动小贩,早就不知道去哪了。他们走到哪,卖到哪,这时候说不定已经出城了。” Rod continues to laugh at him. This makes Bogor not have the place to put on the thin facial skin, „your human does business is insincere!” Finally can only mediate with such angry words. 罗德继续笑着他。这让博古尔原本就薄的脸皮更加没地方搁,“你们人类做买卖太不厚道！”最后只能用这样的气话来圆场。 While is chatting time, Caroline from building. Ice Witch wears tight-fitting textiles today, neckband no longer is the deep V shallow V style, but covered the collar bone, a neck following skin point cannot see. However this does not hinder her to become the focus of audience as before. The tight-fitting textiles serve as contrast she slim and beautiful body, the chest front two mountain peaks naturally protrude, is tall and straight and full, leaves behind folding of sex appeal on the soft clothes. Can hear by the staircase male customer that to swallow the saliva the sound, if not during the daytime, Rod will make a bet must present the matter that fighting snatches the woman...... 正当聊着的时候,卡洛琳从楼上走了下来。霜寒女巫今天穿着一件紧身针织衫,领口处不再是深V浅V的样式,而是盖住了锁骨,脖子以下的皮肤一点都看不到。不过这依旧不妨碍她成为全场的焦点。紧身的针织衫衬托出她苗条而标致的身材,胸前两座山峰自然凸出,挺拔而饱满,在柔软的衣服上留下性感的皱褶。可以听到楼梯旁男顾客那吞咽口水的声音,如果不是白天,罗德敢打赌又要出现打架斗殴抢女人的事…… After Ice Witch goes downstairs, then arrives at side Rod directly, sat. Because Bogor just the matter of liquor is depressed, has no interest in greet with Caroline radically. 霜寒女巫下楼后便径直走到罗德身旁,坐了下来。博古尔正因为酒的事闷闷不乐,根本无心和卡洛琳打招呼。 However tavern boss actually oneself of leisure safe/without matter walked on own initiative. 但是闲暇无事的酒馆老板却自己主动走了过来。 „Hey, under the friend, introduced oneself, I was the owner in this tavern, I called Jidd. Heyler. You can call me Jidd.” “嘿,朋友,自我介绍下,我是这座酒馆的主人,我叫基德.海勒。你们可以叫我基德。” The tavern boss is grinning speaks of a smile. This is bald, the middle-aged man of long face, seemed like the age also 40-50 years old, the mouth is making up the gold tooth, a tiny eye is staring at everyone like the sly fox, naturally, is staring at Rod side Lady frequently. 酒馆老板咧着嘴笑着说到。这是一个秃头,长脸的中年男人,看上去年龄也有40-50岁了,嘴里补着金牙,一双细小的眼睛就像狡猾的狐狸盯着所有人,当然,更经常盯着罗德身边的女士。 „Knows you very much happily, friend.” The Rod smalltalk, „this tavern seems like the business to be good.” “很高兴认识你,朋友。”罗德客套到,“这座酒馆看起来生意不错。” „Also ok, here business continuously this. You know that if the business of city gate under foot is not good to do, other places do not want to do. My father spent the savings of half a lifetime, buys this place, although it is miserably small, but enough I settled down here.” “还行吧,这里生意一直都这样。你知道的,城门脚下的生意如果不好做,其他地方就更别想做了。我的父亲花了半辈子的积蓄,才买下这块地,虽然它小得可怜,但是足够我在这里安家了。” The men are saying, eye unconscious glancing to Caroline. 男人说着,一双眼睛不自觉的瞟向卡洛琳。 „You have an old father.” “你有一位老父亲。” Rod is perfunctory. 罗德敷衍到。 „Right, your how many did come Codeword Fort to make what? Oh, sorry, I mean, seems like your not like native, I had not seen you before.” “对了,你们几位来暗语堡做什么？噢,抱歉,我的意思是,看上去你们不像本地人,我以前没有见过你们。” Boss Jidd asked. Perhaps is detected oneself is not polite, he moved out of the way from Caroline the vision, transferred to Rod. 老板基德问到。或许是察觉到自己的不礼貌,他将目光从卡洛琳身上挪开,移到了罗德身上。 „Oh, I am a merchant, from Grizzly Bear Fort. This is my wife — — Maideena.” “噢,我是一名商人,来自灰熊堡。这位是我的妻子——麦蒂娜。” Rod reported with a smile to the tavern boss oneself, and compiles a new status to Caroline temporarily, to display the nature, builds the hand intimately conveniently on the Caroline shoulder. Has not thought completely will have such Caroline to be shocked, however before bystander, does not dare to display many expressions. Only can reluctantly the nod smile. 罗德笑着向酒馆老板介绍起了自己,并临时给卡洛琳编造了一个新的身份,为了表现得自然亲密一点,顺手将手搭在卡洛琳肩上。完全没想到会有这么一出的卡洛琳愣住了,但是在外人面前,也不敢表现出过多的表情。只能勉强点头微笑。 „This is my subordinate, mercenary — — Bogor Khana.” “这位是我的手下,雇佣兵——博古尔.卡纳。” Then, reported the oneself old buddy to the tavern boss. Opposite Dwarf sits in same place, air/Qi reddens all over the face. 说完,又向酒馆老板介绍起了自己的老搭档。对面的矮人坐在原地,气得满脸通红。 „, Grizzly Bear Fort, I have heard, before there probably, had been attacked by Vampire Unit?” “啊,灰熊堡,我听说过,那里好像之前被一支吸血鬼部队袭击过？” Jidd is curious asking. 基德好奇着问到。 „Un, has such matter, but that time attacks quickly, goes also quickly. The Queen person entered the castle quickly, town returned peacefully, but was several days of matters.” “嗯,是有这么一回事,不过那次袭击来得快,去得也快。女王的人很快就进驻城堡了,城镇重归安静,不过就是几天的事。” Rod replied. 罗德回答。 „Oh, in the two years, then always many matters, the matter of seemingly peaceful day place are actually many.” “唉,这两年,总是那么多事,看上去安静的日子其实地方的事情多着。” Jidd complained. Although does not know what he said is really false, but Rod is glad with his many chatting a while very much, generally speaking, a boss in hotel is knows that most gossips the information, all the person of tavern lodging will be more or less to chat several with him, gradually, the tavern boss like an information stopover station, some people even sells this as part of important sources of income specially. 基德抱怨到。虽然不知道他说的是真是假,但是罗德还是很乐意和他多闲聊一会儿,一般来说,一座旅馆的老板是知道最多八卦信息的,所有来酒馆住宿的人都会或多或少和他聊上几句,久而久之,酒馆老板就像一个情报中转站,有些人甚至专门卖这个作为一部分重要的收入来源。 „, The beggar are indeed getting more and more, the prostitute were also getting more and more.” “的确,乞丐越来越多啦,妓女也越来越多了。” Rod is sighing to speak. 罗德叹着气说到。 „After particularly north rebellion, the day was more difficult. However always some person who gets rich, these sell the coffin, buys the funeral, in any case all and deceased person related business was suddenly good to do. This may really satirize, not?” “尤其是北方这场叛乱发生后,日子更难了。不过总有一些借此发财的人,那些卖棺材的、置办葬礼的,反正一切和死人相关的生意突然间都好做了起来。这可真讽刺,不是吗？” The tavern boss teased, Rod guessed that he has long known this trade, but perhaps was because the strength was insufficient, is unable to participate. This world has more barbaric survival rule, some industries were monopolized, for example the salt industry and precious metal, were being controlled by the Kislev official, these industry sudden and huge profits, Katarin will not apportion the people the industry profits of these high perquisites very absolutely. 酒馆老板调侃到,罗德猜测他早就知道这一行当,只不过或许是因为实力不够,无法插足。这个世界有着更加野蛮的生存规则,有些行业是被垄断的,比如盐业和贵金属,是被基斯里夫官方控制着的,这些行业十分暴利,卡特琳娜绝对不会将这些高油水的行业利润分给民众。 If you are not obedient, bribed these industries, smuggles, violates the law, Rod estimated that the Erengrad rebellion also has the relations with these. It perhaps is an accumulating over a long period of time process, when the great wealth were swallowed by the Queen group, some people will be always discontented. 倘若你不听话,染指了这些行业,就是走私,就是犯法,罗德估计厄伦格拉德叛乱跟这些也有关系。它或许是一个日积月累的过程,当大量财富被女王集团所吞噬,总有一些人会不满。 Returned to that deceased person trade, Jidd to have a liking for this business perhaps again a moment ago very early in the morning, what he operated was not this industry, wants to participate temporarily, only if there is a sufficient official influence, was related with castle Lord, had the official to make the backstage, either, he had the sufficient strength, starting from nothing, hired the goon, usurped others' interest, otherwise, if these two points did not have, wants to get into the domain that others operated suddenly, was really difficult. Even the small castle, is still the tasteful domain, the two small faction can the small benefit win life and death. From the narrow view is the small faction fights, struggles the benefit, seen from a distance, was next door Empire that helps Elector Count, all day attacked brutally for a little petty profit, the tangled warfare was unceasing. Rod thought that oneself does not have, when Emperor, or worked as Empire Emperor, it is estimated that also died by these matters bothersomely. 再回到刚才那个死人行当,基德或许一早就看上这门生意了,只不过他经营的并不是这一行业,想临时插足,除非有足够的官方势力,和城堡领主有一定的关系,有官方做后台,要么,他有足够的实力,从零开始,雇佣打手,强占别人的利益,否则,如果这两点都没有,想突然间涉足别人经营的领域,实在难。就算小小的城堡,也是讲究地盘的,两个小帮派可以为了一点小利益争得你死我活。从小处看就是小帮派打架,争利益,从大处看,就是隔壁帝国那帮选帝侯了,整天为了那么一点蝇头小利大打出手,混战不断。罗德觉得自己是没当皇帝,要不当了帝国的皇帝,估计也是被这些事烦死。 „Indeed......” “的确……” Rod replied with a smile. 罗德笑着回答到。 „Right, the friend, which business you do?” “对了,朋友,你是做哪门生意的？” Boss Jidd asked suddenly. 老板基德突然发问到。 „Ice Pepper, various upscale lining anything.” “冰椒、各种高档面料什么的。” Rod answered freely spoken. 罗德顺口答到。 „Ice Pepper? That is the good thing, the nation lacks this thing, some place Ice Pepper are more expensive than the gold. Precious medicinal herb, thing that certain Alchemist like.” Jidd spoke, „northwest corner this castle had Chena Pharmacy, the master in pharmacy and I relates well, he was the Codeword Fort biggest apothecary, perhaps you can look for him.” “冰椒？那可是好东西啊,全国都缺这个东西,有些地方冰椒比黄金都贵。名贵的药材,还是某些炼金师喜欢的东西。”基德说到,“这座城堡西北角有一家切纳药店,药店的主人和我关系不错,他是暗语堡最大的药商,或许你可以找他。” „Thanks. However I have the trade partner.” “谢谢。不过我已经有贸易伙伴了。” Rod is saying, the corners of the mouth raise to smile faintly. The tavern boss understands, then no longer makes a sound. Works under the Tzar severe regulation, some whose not shameful deals and business? 罗德说着,嘴角扬起一丝浅笑。酒馆老板心领神会,便不再吱声。在沙皇严厉的律法下做事,谁没有一些见不得人的勾当和买卖？ „Right, I heard that here did have Vampire to cause trouble a short time ago?” “对了,我听说这里前不久有吸血鬼闹事？” Rod asked. 罗德问到。 „Not? Has not stopped by the present......” “可不是吗？到现在还没消停呢……” The tavern boss raises hand, helpless reply. 酒馆老板扬了扬手,无奈的回答。
