Underconnivance of Alvis, heopened upothertrade channels.夸雷亚拉是来自基斯里夫城的一名青年贵族,经营着祖辈留下来的布料生意,同时,在基斯里夫城有一座房产和一小座农场。阿尔维斯在铁环堡做财政总管时,免不了与他打交道。每年,铁环堡从夸雷亚拉手里拿货是最多的。涉及的商品从布料到瓷器,再到家具、煤炭、皮革,总之,虽然夸雷亚拉的经营中,布料生意占了大多数,但是贵族商人从来不满足于现状。在阿尔维斯的默许下,他开通了其他贸易渠道。
This over 40-year-oldmiddle-agedaristocratalwayscheerfulappearance, wipes the faint smilenot to leave the lipsyear to year, makingyou unable to feelhistrueexpression. Naturally, Alvisandhehas to do for manyyears, has known very wellhismanner and workingstyle.
这位年过四十的中年贵族总是一副乐呵呵的模样,一抹浅笑常年不离唇间,让你感觉不到他的真正表情。当然,阿尔维斯和他打交道多年,早已熟知他的为人和做事风格。„IsCount Rod.”
“是罗德伯爵。”Alvisemphasized.阿尔维斯强调到。„Oh, sorry, Ihave also thoughtRodis onlyBaron.”
“噢,抱歉,我一直还以为罗德只是一个男爵。”
The apology of Qualalyapoliteness, butAlvisknows,thisfellowabsolutelyisintentionally. From hismouth, nowas the sincerity, ifhemustmakeanythingsincerely, will not say.夸雷亚拉礼貌的道歉到,但是阿尔维斯知道,这家伙绝对是故意的。从他嘴里说出来的,没有一句是真心的,倘若他真心要做什么,也绝不会说出来。„Returns to the proper topic, whenIdominate the Ironring Fortmarket, youlong formaking a connection with the Northmarket, now, is the opportunity.”Alviscarries the redwine glass on ivorytable, sippedwine in cup, „Blackhammer Fortno longerispastthatpoorborder areasmall town, on the contrary, at this moment, inthat not bigcastle, gatheredseveral thousandciviliansalsoto have the aristocrat. The Eastspringwharfevery yearvolume of tradeevensurpassedIronring Fort of peak.”
“言归正传,在我把持铁环堡市场的时候,你一直渴望打通北境市场,现在,便是机会。”阿尔维斯端起象牙桌上的红酒杯,抿了一口杯中的葡萄酒,“黑锤堡已经不再是昔日那个贫穷的边疆小城,相反,此刻,那座不大的城堡内,聚集了数千平民还有贵族。冬泉河的码头每年的贸易额甚至超过了巅峰时期的铁环堡。”„Said that said that butIdid not knowabouttheresituationafter all. The old friends, Iknow that youintendto helpme, but, not the familiarplaceIdo not dareto goeventually.”
“说是这么说,但是我对那里的情况毕竟不了解。老朋友,我知道你有意帮我,可是,不熟悉的地方我终究是不敢去。”Qualalyareadlow voice. Hewiped the dust on table, twists a bunch of rose the flower petal, clampswith the fingeris placing the tip of the nose, smells the abovefragrance, makesoneto immerseappearance.夸雷亚拉小声念到。他揩了揩桌上的灰尘,捻一簇玫瑰花的花瓣,用手指夹着放在鼻尖,闻了闻上面的香气,做出一副沉醉其中的样子。„Idle talklittlesaid that the pathIhad made a connectiontoyou, mustlook atyouroneself. Iknow, sinceErengradhas had the riot, yourbusinesspathwas a mess, the route of going north was almost interrupted, butin the south, the cotton material and coalcannot sell the price.”Alvisputs down the wine glass, seriousspeaking, „old friend, wecooperatedso manyyears, yoursituationIwas very clear, light/onlybythatasset that your fatherleft behind, youverydifficultto baseinKislev. EspeciallythisKatarinraised the tradetax. The Erengradwarhitto empty the state treasury, Ice Queenjustneeds the aristocratlikeyouto repay a debtforher......”
“废话少说吧,路子我已经给你打通了,要不要就看你自己了。我知道,自从厄伦格拉德发生暴乱以来,你的生意路子被打得一塌糊涂,北上的路线几乎被截断,而在南方,布料和煤炭根本卖不到好价钱。”阿尔维斯放下酒杯,一脸严肃的说到,“老朋友,我们合作这么多年了,你的情况我很清楚,光靠你父亲留下的那点资产,你很难在基斯里夫立足。尤其是这次卡特琳娜又抬高了贸易税。厄伦格拉德的战争打空了国库,冰雪女王正需要像你们这样的贵族替她还债……”Alvissaid, the Qualalyacomplexionis not obviously good. The opposite partydid the schoolworkto comeagain......阿尔维斯说完,夸雷亚拉的脸色明显不好了。对方是做了功课再来的……Indeed, Alvisnotarrives atKislevto directly soarthis„old friend”infamily/home, on the contrary, hemademanytimes, firstwas the investigationclearpost-warKislevpresent situation, the understanding that alsomade a veiled attack the Qualalyarecent situation, knows that the road of hisbusinesswas not smooth. WhenAlvisvisitspersonally, actuallymostsituationshehas understood clearlyinheart. ToconvinceQualalya, the little dwarfshows a superciliousstance. Negotiants, knowing oneself and other side, is very important.
的确,阿尔维斯并非一到基斯里夫就直奔这位“故友”家中,相反,他做了不少功夫,先是调查清楚战后基斯里夫城的现状,又旁敲侧击的了解到夸雷亚拉的近况,知道他的生意之路并不顺畅。等到阿尔维斯亲自上门的时候,其实大多数情况他都已了然于心。而为了说服夸雷亚拉,小侏儒更是表现出一副心高气傲的姿态。谈判者,知己知彼,十分重要。„Toldme, that was Lahm, what kind ofperson?”
“告诉我,那个拉海姆,到底是一个怎样的人?”
The oldaristocrataspirates, slowlyasked.
老贵族吐了口气,慢慢问到。„Withyoursimilarpeople. Heis the Erengradyoungaristocrat, beforegoing toBlackhammer Fort, the assetevenis less thanyou. Howevermeanwhile, he is also the person who daresto rush todaresto be. HeandRodsigns the contract, develops the localminetogether, oneyearlater, the businessdoesin a big way, goes outto participate in the ErengraddisputewhileRod the time, monopolizedBlackhammer Fortsomemarkets, for the first timeformed a privateguard.”
“一个和你们差不多的人。他是厄伦格拉德的年轻贵族,在前往黑锤堡之前,资产甚至不及你们。但是同时,他也是一个敢闯敢做的人。他和罗德签下合约,一起开发当地矿场,一年后,生意做大,趁着罗德外出参与厄伦格拉德纷争的时候,垄断了黑锤堡的部分市场,并且,破天荒的组建了一支私人卫队。”Alvisleisurechatting.阿尔维斯慢悠悠的聊到。
The sunlightsprinklesin the roomby the window, according to body, warm, Alvislikesthissummerflavor, thisisKislev in a year the most beautifulseason, neither cold nor hot, may be calledperfect.
阳光透过窗台洒进屋内,照在身上,暖洋洋的,阿尔维斯喜欢这夏天的味道,这是基斯里夫一年中最美的时节,不冷不热,堪称完美。„Dareswith the aristocrat who Lordspeaks the last words, is hisageestimateverysmall?”
“一个敢于和领主叫板的贵族,呵,他的年龄估计还很小吧?”Qualalyaaskedwith a smile.夸雷亚拉笑着问到。„Indeed, is onlythirty years old, the wool on mouthdid not havelongentire.”
“的确,只有三十几岁,嘴上的毛都还没长全。”Alvisis cracking a joke the reply.阿尔维斯开着玩笑回答。„Thatafterward? Hasn't Rodgot rid ofhimdirectly?”
“那后来呢?罗德没有直接干掉他?”All the year roundknowsinQualalya that Kislevmixes, the aristocratin the rulereyesisfat, listens to the Tzarwords, theythencanletyourgood work, ifsomepeopleweaktofeelingcannot listen toabovebyoneselfone's effort, heto the bankruptcy, being driven to the streetsis not far. Rules that group of people in thiscountryto have10,000methodsto killyou. Butyou, butis a youngaristocrat.
长年在基斯里夫混的夸雷亚拉知道,贵族在统治者眼里就是一块肥肉,听沙皇的话,他们便可以让你好活,若是有人幼稚到觉得靠自己的一己之力可以不听上面的话,那么,他离破产,沦落街头也就不远了。统治这个国家的那帮人有一万种手段可以弄死你。而你,不过是一个小贵族而已。This is also Erengradthatgroup of aristocratsrevolts against one of the Katarinreasons, only thenobeys, leeway that has not discussed that butthisbloodQueenisonedispatches under compulsionhigh, is not obedientremovesimmediately, thissituationeveryonecanendurein a short time, the timeis long, somepeoplewill be not always able to bear.
这也是厄伦格拉德那帮贵族起来反抗卡特琳娜的原因之一,只有服从,没有商量的余地,而偏偏这位鲜血女王又是一个高压派,不听话立马除掉,这种情况短时间内大家都能忍,时间一长,总有人会忍不住。„, Rodhas not wantedcivilizedpoint means that thereforemakesmelook foryou.”
“并没有,罗德想要文明一点的办法,所以才让我找来你们。”Alvisspoke, andthatphrasewill aggravateintentionallyfinally, yes, whathewantsto stresswas„you”. Rather than„you”.阿尔维斯说到,并且故意将最后那个字眼加重了,是的,他想强调的是“你们”。而不是“你”。„Who does alsocomplyto go northBlackhammer Fort?”
“还有谁答应北上黑锤堡?”Qualalyareallyclosely examines.夸雷亚拉果然追问到。„SykjadandClev.”
“斯卡加德、克莱夫。”Alvistranquilreply. Heseesin the Qualalyaeyeto flash through a hesitation, andwas caughtquicklybyhim.阿尔维斯平静的回答到。他看到夸雷亚拉眼里闪过一丝犹豫,并且很快被他捕捉到了。„Old friend, told the facts, Ihereis notstrives fortodayyour, butlookedinourmanyyears of friendshipshare, toldyousuch an opportunity. In fact, Blackhammer Fortthissituationanyone, being ableto be willingto go north. InKislev, whatdevelopment opportunities do the youngaristocratshave?

And, tothere, so long asyournot likethatLahmsuchestablishes the oneselfarmedguard, RodandIwill guaranteeyour, becomesyourbacking and sharp sword.”
“老朋友,实话实说吧,我今天来这里并不是来求你的,而是看在我们多年交情的份上,告诉你这样一次机会。事实上,黑锤堡这个情况无论是谁,都会愿意北上的。在基斯里夫城里,小贵族们有什么发展空间?大战刚刚结束,急需恢复国力,许多人都在惶惶不可终日,能够离开基斯里夫城是多少像你这样的贵族们的心愿,只不过离开了基斯里夫,他们找不到落脚点,而我,便是向你介绍了这个落脚点。并且,到了那里,只要你不像那个拉海姆那样成立自己的武装卫队,罗德和我都是会保你的,成为你的后盾和利剑。”Alvissatstraight the body, urgently neededspeaking of——阿尔维斯坐直了身子,急需说到——„Northwascold, was more barren. Howeverthereis safer, Rodhas swept clean the surroundingBeastmantribe, without the enemywill arrive there, in the meantime, the hand of Queencannot extend is so far.”Alvisblinks, „old friend, Northis notyourfinally, itis onlyyourspringboard, Blackhammer Fort is developingtogetherhigh-speed, the opportunityare much a lot of than Kislev, musttry, thislooked atyouroneself.”
“北境是寒冷了一些,贫瘠了一些。但是那里更安全,罗德已经扫清了周围的野兽人部落,没有敌人会抵达那里,同时,女王的手伸不到那么远。”阿尔维斯眨了眨眼睛,“老朋友,北境不是你的最终地,它只是你一块跳板,黑锤堡正在高速发展中,机会比基斯里夫城多很多,要不要去试一试,这就看你自己了。”Alvissaid,thenmustleave, butQualalyastopped by calling outhis——阿尔维斯说完,便要离开,而夸雷亚拉则叫住了他——„Alvis, the dinner, did not sayregardless the official businessin the eveninghere,we should also wellgathering.”
“阿尔维斯,晚上在这里晚餐吧,抛开公务不说,我们也应该好好聚一聚。”
The oldaristocratshowed the sinceresmile, yes, Alvisknows, thistimereal......
老贵族露出了真诚的笑容,是的,阿尔维斯知道,这次是真的……
