„Alvis, what oh...... do you make? Shouldn't you in Blackhammer Fort, side Rod, continue to supply ideas for him? That may really be a great competition, all the people participate, the Lord Rod corps win total victories, not?” “阿尔维斯,噢……你来做什么？你不是应该在黑锤堡,在罗德身边,继续为他出谋划策吗？那可真是一场伟大的比赛,全民参与啊,罗德领主的战队大获全胜,不是吗？” The tranquil afternoon, visit of Alvis is unpopular, as soon as he passed through the gate then struck a sour note with Lahm. And the flavor, the smart person listens to know. Here competition not just refers to several weeks ago that sports match, implied that he among battle that three Kislev with the aristocrats come ; Meanwhile, here corps also not only finger/refer to the field representative Rod in that Norsca corps that meets, but also implied that regarding helps his group of people side Rod, but Alvis is one of them. 宁静的午后,阿尔维斯的到访并不受欢迎,他一进门便遭到了拉海姆的冷嘲热讽。其中韵味,聪明人一听就知道。这里的比赛不单单指几周前的那场球赛,也暗指他与那三位基斯里夫来的贵族之间的争斗;同时,这里的战队也不仅仅指的在球场上代表罗德出战的那支诺斯卡战队,还暗指围绕在罗德身边帮助他的那帮人,而阿尔维斯便是其中之一。 The midgets listened to the opposite party spoken language to have the evil intention, but he was unhurriedly, the complexion was tranquil. Even has not led the guard, comes. 小侏儒听出了对方言语中带着恶意,但是他不慌不忙,脸色平静。甚至没有带守卫,独自一人前来。 „Is, but also plays very difficultly. Lord Rod makes the oneself team members show mercy, his opponent also really will be hit badly beaten.” “算是吧,不过也打得很艰难。罗德领主让自己的队员们手下留情,要不,他的对手还真会被打得头破血流哩。” Alvis replied with a smile. He smiles, however, in the words the meaning is very obvious, in two people words has the words, in the meantime, two people very clear opposite party is saying anything. The sports match is a metaphor, as we all know, true battlefield in underground, in life and death commercial war. 阿尔维斯笑着回答到。他只是笑,然而,话中之意却十分明显,两人都话里有话,同时,两人都十分清楚对方在说什么。球赛不过是一个隐喻,大家都知道,真正的战场在地下,在你死我活的商业战中。 Alvis is neither arrogant nor servile, this makes the Lahm complexion pale. He does not want to defeat in a dwarf hand, yes, in his eyes, Alvis is never a normal person. The qualifications that he cultivates the behavior do not have, an abnormal person, should throw into the big forest, is a companion with the wild animal. 阿尔维斯不卑不亢,这让拉海姆脸色铁青。他不想败在一个侏儒手里,是的,在他眼里,阿尔维斯从来不是正常人。他连做人的资格都没有,一个畸形的人,原本应该扔进大森林,与野兽为伍。 „Yes, badly beaten. Also really must thank Lord Rod, finally shows mercy, saved the life of that group of people reluctantly.” “是啊,头破血流。还真要感谢罗德领主,最后手下留情,才勉强保住了那帮人的性命。” Lahm is cloudy the face to return. 拉海姆阴着脸回到。 „Un...... saves the life should be, after all , to continue to fight next time, without the opponent, the competition is not splendid.” Alvis is saying, before arriving at the chair, crawled strenuously. “嗯……保住性命是应该的,毕竟,下次还要继续斗嘛,没有对手,比赛就不精彩了。”阿尔维斯说着,走到椅子前,吃力的爬了上去。 „Has the liquor? The alcohol can make me keep stimulated. Comes one cup, in this warm afternoon, came one cup of red wine most beautiful enjoyments.” “有酒吗？酒精可以让我保持亢奋。啊,来一杯吧,在这温暖的午后,来一杯红葡萄酒可谓最美的享受了。” Alvis smiles to Lahm, the face of Lahm actually draws is long, as if the century-old trees are common, gloomy, fills the resentment and killing intent. However he made the servant give Alvis but actually one glass of red wines. 阿尔维斯冲着拉海姆一笑,拉海姆的脸却拉得老长,仿佛百年老树一般,阴沉,充满怨气与杀意。不过他还是让仆人给阿尔维斯倒了一杯红酒。 „Thanks.” “谢谢。” The servants end the liquor but actually, Alvis express gratitude in the one side. 仆人倒完酒,阿尔维斯在一旁道谢。 „Dwarf, the liquor also drank, the words also said that should you also walk? Here is not you idles the place that the safe/without matter tries to play.” “侏儒,酒也喝了,话也说了,你是不是也该走了？我这里可不是你闲来无事取悦玩耍的地方。” looks at Alvis that ugly face, Lahm resents to be hard to take. 看着阿尔维斯那张丑陋的脸,拉海姆愤恨难耐。 „No matter first you to my insult, I must first explain a matter with you a moment ago.” Alvis put down the water glass, „I come to here am not try to play, in the meantime, I am not your enemy.” “先不管你刚才对我的侮辱,我必须先和你说明一件事。”阿尔维斯放下了玻璃酒杯,“我来这里不是来取悦玩耍的,同时,我也不是你的敌人。” „Isn't my enemy? Is my ally inadequate?” “不是我的敌人？难道还是我的盟友不成？” Lahm smiles. He was clear, his anything was clear, since these months, if not this little dwarf is involved, he will not lose to Qualalya they, at least, must defeat will not defeat that quickly. Is because Alvis supports secretly, lets Qualalya and Sykjad and Clev that was unfamiliar with the people and place obtains the winning side. If in Blackhammer Fort, who is the oneself biggest enemy, except for Rod, is this height is less than one meter three dwarf. 拉海姆笑到。他清楚,他什么都清楚,这几个月以来,如果不是这个小侏儒参与其中,他不会败给夸雷亚拉他们,至少,要败也不会败得那么快。就是因为阿尔维斯暗中支持,才让本来人生地不熟的夸雷亚拉和斯卡加德、克莱夫取得上风。若是黑锤堡中,谁是自己最大的敌人,除了罗德,便是这位身高不到一米三的侏儒。 „? What having isn't good? Lahm your excellency, asked me, if really treats as my enemy you, you can also live now?” Alvis just said, Lahm then must call the domestic servant, drives out this arrogant little dwarf. However Alvis made hand signal — — quickly “呀？有什么不行？拉海姆阁下,试问我若是真把你当做我的敌人,你还能活到现在？”阿尔维斯刚刚说完,拉海姆便要叫来家仆,将这个傲慢的小侏儒赶出去。但是阿尔维斯很快做了一个手势—— „You listened to me to say the words.” “你听我把话说完。” He spoke. 他说到。 „Blackhammer Fort is Rod, you also know that I am his assistant, if really must aim at you, we have 100 means that but will not wait till the present. You know that since Rod returned to Blackhammer Fort on that day, you hand over the armed team to start, actually you lost. However, we do not think that you lose that thoroughly.” “黑锤堡是罗德的,你也知道我是他的助手,若真要针对你,我们有一百种办法,而不会等到现在。你知道的,自从那天罗德回到黑锤堡,你交出武装队开始,其实你就输了。然而,我们并不想你输得那么彻底。” Alvis is saying in a low voice, his expression becomes serious and deep. 阿尔维斯低声说着,他的表情变得严肃而深沉。 „Why?” “为什么？” Lahm is half believing and half doubting. 拉海姆将信将疑。 „...... It is why simple, person in power tasteful power balance. Your I know, any Lord or King are impossible to operate independently a country. In a territory the association/will has all kinds of influences, some are strong, some are weak, the powerhouse swallows the weak one, becomes the powerhouse, it is getting stronger and stronger, is getting stronger and stronger. Will happen one day, will then threaten the ruler. Therefore, each King, each Lord association/will suppresses a domineering side. But the best suppressed way, then cultivates an opponent, sufficiently opponent who contends with this powerhouse. The rulers are compromising, let the both sides mutual battle, thus maintains a balance relationship.” “为什么……很简单,当权者讲究势力平衡。你我都知道,任何领主或者国王不可能独立运作一个国家。一块领地上总会存在各种各样的势力,有的强,有的弱,强者吞噬弱者,成为更强者,它越来越强,越来越强。终有一天,便会威胁到统治者本身。所以,每个国王,每个领主总会压制强势的一方。而最好的压制办法,便是培植一个对手,一个足以抗衡这个强者的对手。统治者在从中调和,让双方互相争斗,从而保持一个平衡关系。” Alvis curls up the leg to sit, speaks with confidence. His spoken language is that real, is sincere, Lahm had the flash almost to believe him, but is relying on for many years two using all might the experiences in black and white, the present little dwarf made him feel faintly anxious. 阿尔维斯蜷着腿坐着,侃侃而谈。他的言语是那么真实,那么诚恳,以至于拉海姆有一瞬间差点就信了他,但是凭借着多年来在黑白间两道摸爬滚打的经验,眼前的小侏儒让他还是感到了隐隐不安。 „What do you want to say?” Lahm frowns, „you want to say that- before you cultivated Qualalya, making them cope with me. But now, I was too weak, but they were too strong. Therefore, you did not feel relieved that wants to support me, copes them?” “你想说什么？”拉海姆皱起眉头,“你是不是想说-以前你们培植夸雷亚拉,让他们来对付我。而现在,我太弱了,而他们太强了。所以,你们又不放心了,想重新扶持我,来对付他们？” Lahm spoke frankly. Technique of many people emperor balance are know that but so attained in the floor to say frankly and uprightly, Lahm first sight. Also only then this dwarf will do this matter...... he is rare and beautiful flowers. 拉海姆直言到。帝王权衡之术许多人是知道的,但是如此光明正大拿到台面上说,拉海姆还是第一次见到。也只有这个侏儒才会干这种事……他原本就是个奇葩。 „Right! That is it. Your excellency is very intelligent, I like going straight there and coming straight back, does not like beating around the bush.” “对的！就是这个意思。阁下很聪明,我就喜欢直来直去,不喜欢绕弯子。” Alvis laughs to speak of suddenly loudly. 阿尔维斯突然放声大笑说到。 „How snort/hum...... do that you plan to support me?” “哼……那你们打算怎么扶持我？” In the Lahm surface believes that Alvis words, the innermost feelings are actually maintaining vigilant. The words indeed several points of truth of little dwarf, but the world free banquet, this Lahm has not known. 拉海姆表面上相信阿尔维斯的话,内心却保持着警惕。小侏儒的话的确有几分道理,但是天下没免费的宴席,这点拉海姆还是知道的。 „I have a friend that side Empire , simply speaking, when I am the Ironring Fort fiscal manager, must do with the person of all forms, many Kislev aristocrat merchants, Empire that side person. Before this friend me, knew, but he currently happen to have a form, a big list. About liquor water and furniture.” The Alvis corners of the mouth raise to smile faintly, „by the way, this person you also knew.” “我在帝国那边有位朋友,呃,简单来说,当我还是铁环堡的财政总管时,总要和形形色色的人打交道,其中不乏基斯里夫的贵族商人,还有帝国那边的人。这位朋友我之前就认识,而他现在正好有一张单子,一张大单。关于酒水和家具的。”阿尔维斯嘴角扬起一丝浅笑,“顺便说一下,这个人你也认识。” „Who?” “谁？” Lahm vigilance is asking. 拉海姆警觉的问着。 „Luxia.” “卢克西亚。” Alvis returns. He almost does not have to see Lahm one, but is a face indifferent appearance, but he is this, Lahm then more has the suspicion to the judgment of oneself. Alvis and do Rod really want to support oneself? Otherwise have no reason. 阿尔维斯回到。他几乎没正眼看拉海姆一眼,而是一脸无所谓的样子,而他越是这样,拉海姆便越对自己的判断产生怀疑。难道阿尔维斯和罗德真的想重新扶持自己？否则没有理由。 „Two years ago, when I am the Ironring Fort finance manager, I have then had to do with him. You must know that early Blackhammer Fort except for the ore trade, the trades of other industries almost does not exist. Therefore, I know Luxia very much long time ago, even possibly must know him compared with you early. He heard here situation probably, knows that you met misfortune, today we are no longer as we have been, therefore, then prepared and Qualalya greatly only they do. Was I prevented him, persuading him to give you this business. Like me said that a moment ago, the Blackhammer Fort market like a balance, Rod will not make anybody extremely powerful. You select you are understand . Moreover, you should understand earlier......” “两年前,当我还是铁环堡财政总管的时候,我便和他打过交道。你要知道的,早期的黑锤堡除了矿石贸易,其他行业的贸易几乎是不存在的。所以,我很早就认识卢克西亚,甚至可能比你还要早认识他。他大概听说这里的情况了,也知道你落难了,今非昔比,所以,一张大单便准备和夸雷亚拉他们做。是我阻止了他,劝说他将这笔生意给你。就像我刚才说的,黑锤堡市场就像一架天平,罗德不会让任何人太过强大。你点你是懂的,而且,你应该早点懂……” Alvis carries the drinking glass, continued the small feast red wine in cup. He shakes the red wine, seems the prey in observation hand to be the same. 阿尔维斯端起玻璃杯,继续小饮了一口杯中的红酒。他将红酒摇匀,好似在观察手中的猎物一般。 „What does he need?” “他需要什么？” Lahm is putting on a serious face to ask. 拉海姆板着脸问到。 „Various Empire within the boundaries types of liquor water have, the wine, beer and ale, have it all. Lacking vodka only, this is almost the Kislev special product. Yes, he just needs this. The quantity is the — — 2000 barrels.” Alvis slowed down the language intentionally fast, „also has the furniture, the pine lumber and fir tree, he needs these raw materials. The purchase price of log is not high, the profit is few. However the huge number, accumulating is also good.” “帝国境内各种酒水都有,葡萄酒、啤酒、麦酒,一应俱全。唯独缺少伏特加酒,这几乎是基斯里夫的特产。是的,他正需要这个。数量是——两千桶。”阿尔维斯故意放缓了语速,“还有家具,松木和冷杉,他需要这些原材料。原木的收购价格不高,利润很少。不过数量巨大,累加起来也还不错。” The Lahm hear, the complexion is still not good. In more than one year , he like riding pirate ship, from the low point crawls to the life high spot, falls the bottom from the peak. But these are do obeisance Rod and this dwarf bestow. 拉海姆听完,脸色依旧不好。这一年多里,他就像坐海盗船一样,从低点爬至人生高点,又从最高点落到最低点。而这些都是拜罗德和这个侏儒所赐。 „Snort.” He sneered. „Has such good form, why do you give me? Rod he does not think that oneself does swallow?” “哼。”他冷笑了一下。“有这么好的单子,你何必交给我？罗德他难道不想自己吞掉吗？” „Did he swallow?” “他吞得了吗？” Alvis never imagined, then to speak thoughtlessly. 阿尔维斯想都没想,便随口回了一句。 The words that „I spoke a moment ago you have not heard clearly, this single key deal is the liquor water, Vodka, highly concentrated vodka. The Blackhammer Fort distillery more than 50% are your, what Luxia that old man wants is 2000 barrels, is not 200 barrels. You think that Rod can eat up this form? Entire Blackhammer Fort, perhaps only then your wine cellar has over a thousand barrels of end products, remaining, can brew by stages. Naturally, you were half right, if Rod can eat up, he had sole possession of early, will not make you moisten to this advantage. In fact, this matter is my oneself processes in private, has not made him know.” “我刚才说的话你没听清,这张单的主要交易物是酒水,伏特加,高浓度伏特加酒。黑锤堡的酒坊一半以上是你的,卢克西亚那个老头要的是两千桶,不是两百桶。你认为罗德吃得下这张单子？整个黑锤堡,恐怕只有你的酒窖有上千桶的成品,剩下的,可以分期酿造。当然,你说对了一半,若是罗德吃得下,他早独吞了,根本不会让你沾到这好处。事实上,这件事是我自己私下处理的,并没有让他知道。” „Why?” “为什么？” Lahm asked. 拉海姆问到。 „Why? Rod wants me plenary powers to handle Blackhammer Fort everyday concerns, what matter I cannot go to trouble him, such, what does he also want my assistant to make?” Alvis is smiling, „naturally, tells you this matter not duty help, I have the request.” “为什么？罗德要我全权处理黑锤堡的日常事务,我总不能什么事都去麻烦他,那样,他还要我这个助手做什么？”阿尔维斯笑着,“当然,告诉你这件事不会义务帮忙,我也有要求的。” „Said that looks.” “说说看。” Lahm by chairback, profile looks at Alvis. 拉海姆靠在椅背上,侧脸看着阿尔维斯。 „After that is the matter becomes, you must the profit percentage 30 apportion me. You know that this is very fair, I provide the information, you are responsible for producing. I with the capitellum, you take the big end.” “那就是事成之后,你必须将利润的百分三十分给我。你知道的,这很公平,我提供情报,你负责生产。我拿小头,你拿大头。” Alvis is saying, in the last red wine the cup drinks completely. Reveals a well satisfied manner. 阿尔维斯说着,将杯中最后一点红酒饮尽。露出一副心满意足的神态。 One talked, balance of Lahm at heart that suspicion and trust, gradually here tendency trust. Everyone longs for obtaining money and wealth, although Alvis has the disability, but he is also a person, is the person, will have the selfish desire, this very normal...... simultaneously, that Luxia, oneself has done business with him repeatedly, is a keeping promises person. This matter, seems normal...... 一番交谈下来,拉海姆心里那杆怀疑和信任的天平,才渐渐倾向信任这边。每个人都渴望得到金钱和财富,阿尔维斯虽说身有残疾,但他也是一个人,是人,都会有私欲,这很正常……同时,那个卢克西亚,自己多次和他做过生意,是一个说一不二的人。这件事,似乎都很正常……
