闲的时候可以一整月无所事事,而忙的时候却也可以让人每天处于紧绷状态。最近一周多以来,罗德就都处于这种紧张的公务缠身状态。BecauseAlvisis only a manager, chief designerorRodoneself. The establishsewerpatrol leader, the foodexaminationgroup, the cityplan, theseare the top layer design, mustdepend ononeselfcompletely, when the planwas carried outfinally, oneselfcanrelaxed, givesAlvisandotherpersonhand/subordinatemaintains.
因为阿尔维斯只是总管,总设计师还是罗德自己。成立下水道巡逻队,食品稽查组,城区规划,这些都属于顶层设计,全部要靠自己,等方案最终落实到位了,自己才可以轻松一点,交给阿尔维斯和其他手下的人去维护。Whatis more important, under such tenseflusteredcondition, oneselflovely wifeCaroline...... the development of Blackhammer Fortdid not drive the development of next doorHyde Fortin the sideunexpectedly, making the Carolinebusinessalsoincreaseimperceptiblymuch. Therefore, cameBlackhammer Fort and Rodintimatetimealsotails off. The besieged citytheoryisthis, dailywithsomebodyin the same place, will feel sick. A separatedtimelong time, hadmissingprobably...... the personissuchtroublesome...... Rodlies downon the seat, face upwardedto sigh deeply.
更重要的是,这样紧张忙乱的状态下,自己的娇妻卡洛琳竟然也不在身边……黑锤堡的发展带动了隔壁海德堡的发展,使得卡洛琳的事务在不知不觉中也增加了不少。所以,来黑锤堡与罗德亲密的时间也变少了。正所谓围城理论就是这样,天天和某个人在一起,会觉得厌烦。分开的时间一久,又好像有了思念……人就是这么麻烦……罗德躺在座椅上,仰天长叹着。At this time, out of the doorresounded the sound of footsteps of aide.
这时,门外又响起了侍从的脚步声。„Sir, has the Princeinterview of Tilea. Hesaid that is the Tilearichestslavebusiness, the most outstandinginventor,......”
“大人,有位提利尔的亲王求见。他自称是提利尔最富有的奴隶商、最杰出的发明家,还有最……”„Wheretoldmehimto be at?”
“告诉我他在哪?”Roddoes not wantto listen totheseat sixes and sevenstitles and titles. Bigmerchant who if came from EmpireorBrettonia, thatindeedshould the goodthesetitlesof pleasant to hear, becausethatis the officialacknowledged that cannotspeak irresponsibly, will otherwise have the politicaldanger. However came from Tilea, moreoversounds likeBorder Prince Confederacyto come, thesetitlescanneglectgreatly. BecauseBorder Prince Confederacymostlyissomebanditindependencemountain tops, exterminatesnestGreenskinorSkavencasuallycansaywhatGreenskinend matter, the Skavendifficult adversary. Butin fact, theirterritoriespossiblyon a villagesize.罗德不想听那些乱七八糟的头衔和称号。若是从帝国或者巴托尼亚来的大商人,那的确应该好好听一下那些头衔,因为那都是官方承认的,不能乱说,否则会有政治危险。但是从提利尔来的,而且听起来还是边境亲王领来的,那些称号大可以忽略。因为边境亲王领大多就是一些土匪自立山头,随便剿灭一窝绿皮或者鼠人就可以自称什么绿皮终结者,鼠人克星。但事实上,他们的领地可能就一个村庄大小。Howeverthisdoes not representthesepeopleto have no value, at least, from afarsinceBorder Prince Confederacyruns over, hisfleetalsohas certainly the excellentquality, otherwiseis impossibleto pass through the boundlessocean. The storm of open seais not the inland seacancompare, the lifeform of variousbad risks are also the lifehear something never heard of in the person of inland sea. Meanwhile, perhaps the thingfromsouthborder is also Northlacks. ThereforeRodsummonedthisTileadirectly„richestslavebusiness”.
不过这不代表这些人就没什么价值,至少,千里迢迢从边境亲王领跑过来,他的船队一定也是有着过人素质的,否则不可能穿越茫茫大洋。外海的风浪可不是内海可以比的,各种凶险的生物也是生活在内海的人闻所未闻的。同时,来自南方边境的东西或许也是北境所缺乏的。于是罗德直接召见了这位提利尔“最富有的奴隶商”。
After severalminutes, in the Blackhammer Fortreceiving callershall, RodsawthisvisitingTileamerchant. Justmet, Rodthenby the opposite party„fashionable”makingsattracted. Thisvisiting„bigmerchant”seems likewithoneself is the same, middle-ageduncle, but the opposite partybelongs toMediterranean Sea, the wholesale market...... the bright and cleantop of the headdoes not lift a finger to help, the sparseshort hairis distributingfrom the skullaround, standardMediterraneanhairstyle. The belly that somebodypuffiness, thatflabcomes up in great numbers and from all sidesparticularly, seemingto rouse the air/Qito be common, hangsin the waist. Evenhowto decoratewith the clothesagain, is unable to coverthatbulgebellyas before.
几分钟后,在黑锤堡会客大厅,罗德见到了这位远道而来的提利尔商人。刚一见面,罗德便被对方的“时髦”气质所吸引了。这位远道而来的“大商人”看上去和自己一样,中年大叔,只不过对方属于地中海,啤酒肚……光洁的头顶一毛不拔,稀疏的短发自脑壳周围分布着,标准的地中海发型。身体有些虚胖,尤其是那赘肉横生的肚子,好似鼓了气一般,挂在腰间。即便用衣服再怎么装饰,依旧无法盖住那凸起的肚皮。Hewears the sunglasses, hasa handfulbeards, but alsowithoutaccompaniedto introduce,thenintroduced oneselfimpatiently.
他戴着墨镜,留着一小撮胡子,还没等随从介绍,便迫不及待的自我介绍了起来。„Lord Rod, mynamewasMosesOttoHighlm Fulore, fromsouthcity-stateTilea. Inhistorygreatestinventor, andslavemerchant, andprojectGrandmaster, andarms merchant......”
“罗德领主,我的名字叫摩西奥多海勒姆弗拉尔,来自南方城邦提利尔。史上最伟大的发明家,兼奴隶商人,兼工程大师,兼军火商……”Rodtriesto repeat his name, the discoverywill actually put in order the skewernameto read the tongue to tie a knot......, thereforeonlycalledhimFulorewellon...... as for the followingthesetitles...... simplyfuck......罗德试图重复一遍他的名字,却发现将整串名字念完舌头要打结……于是只叫他弗拉尔就好……至于后面那些头衔……简直卧槽……„Un, IamRod, knowsyouvery muchhappily, your excellency.”
“嗯,我是罗德,很高兴认识你,阁下。”Has the friendshipsmile, the Rodlightreply.
带着友谊的笑容,罗德淡淡的回答到。„...... Had heard that Lord Rodis extraordinary, handsomegreat, todaysees, reallyso.”
“啊……早就听说罗德领主气质不凡,英俊伟岸,今天见到,果然如此。”Fuloreis saying, took off the oneselfsunglasses. At this time, Rodsaw clearlyhiseye, seemed the blackgrapes of twoclipinmeatseam, smiledalmost unable to see...... thisfat, does not know, insouthlived the life how to be moistening.弗拉尔说着,摘下了自己的墨镜。这时,罗德才看清他的眼睛,好似两颗夹在肉缝里的黑葡萄,笑起来几乎看不到了……这身肥肉,不知道在南方过着怎样滋润的生活。„Iheard that your excellencybrought the newestproduct, candiscuss a businesswithme?”
“我听说阁下带来了最新的产品,要与我谈一笔生意?”Rodenters the subjectwith a smile. Thispleasantrieslittlesaid,dailysaidthisuselessidle talkis really weary. Rodlikestelling the truth, telling the truth, perhapsis the longperiod and northernerhas to do, the temperthenslowlybecamefrank.罗德笑着直入主题。这种客套话还是少说,天天说这种没用的废话着实让人厌烦。罗德还是喜欢有一说一,有二说二,或许是长时期和北方人打交道,性子便慢慢变得直爽了起来。„SirLord is really refreshed, Ilikehaving to dowith the refreshedperson. Un un, right. Newestproduct! Absolutelyisnewest. Thisthingdid not haveEmpire.”
“领主大人真是爽快,我就喜欢和爽快的人打交道。嗯嗯嗯,对的。最新的产品!绝对是最新的。这东西连帝国都还没有。”
The merchantssmilinglyspoke.
商人笑眯眯的说到。Howeverheisthis, Rodthenmorethought that the pit...... Empiredid not even have, whythisfellowruns up tonorthKislevfrom afar, sellstooneself? Difficultto be inadequateishisthingno onewants? The priceis too high, whatto be impractical? Althoughis onlyfirst meetingconversationin a few words, the medicine that butRodsellstothisperson of bottle gourdinhas had the deep doubts.
不过他越是这样,罗德便越觉得坑……连帝国都还没有,这家伙凭什么千里迢迢跑到基斯里夫北方,向自己推销?难不成是他的东西没人要?或者价格太高,不实用什么的?尽管只是初次见面三言两语的交谈,但是罗德对此人葫芦里卖的药已经深感怀疑。„Whatthing is that?”
“那是什么东西?”Rodasked.罗德问到。„Goodthing! However, thisthingis too heavy, greatly, perhapsis not goodto lift. WhetherSirLordcanstep, looksto the wharfin?”
“好东西!不过,这玩意太重,太大,恐怕不好抬进来。领主大人是否可以移步,到码头上一看?”Fuloregrinningreply.弗拉尔笑嘻嘻的回答。„Does not have the issue, youguide. Do not take into me the wateron the line.”
“没问题,你带路吧。可别把我带进水里就行。”Rodjoked, in the wordshad the wordsnearbyto hearclearly.罗德开玩笑说着,话里有话却让一旁的人听得清清楚楚。

However the Fuloreshipobviouslywas the steamship, the ship of open searankdaresto exercise the riversportisverybold. Exercisestoward the inland riveragainhas the danger of reaching a deadlock.
半个钟头后,罗德一行人来到了位于冬泉河入海口的外港区。这里现在还是一片荒凉,只有一个临时的码头作为停靠点,大多数船只到黑锤堡出入货还是直接开到内港去,那里是旧城区,有密集的小码头。不过弗拉尔的船明显是大船,远洋级别的船敢行使到河流口岸已经算是很大胆了。再往内河行使就有搁浅的危险。But the best quality goods in thatgoodshave cleanedevidentlysuch asnewly, is waiting for the examination of new host, so long ason the wholewantsto buyherperson, ishernew host. Butshe, is a large-scaleheavy weapon.
而那件贸易品中的极品看样子已经早就擦拭如新,等着新主人的检验了,大体上只要是想买她的人,都是她的新主人。而她,便是一件大型重武器。„Fuloreripple fireartillery!”
“弗拉尔连射炮!”BigmerchantFuloreproudintroduction. Rodonlythought that a top of the headcrowflew...... thisfellow is really the best quality goods...... the self-sales promotioneven, evenweaponstillby the namename of oneself, simply......
大商人弗拉尔骄傲的介绍到。罗德只觉得头顶一头乌鸦飞过……这家伙真是极品……自我推销就算了,连武器也以自己的名字命名,简直……Howeverturns over toinsensitivelyinsensitively, Rodmustwellunder the examinationthisthing. Perhapsitreallyuseful. Blackhammer Fortcurrentlyclose combatUnithas, cavalryUnitis being developed, lacks the long-range weapononly, especiallylong-distanceheavy weapon. As a result of the firearmblockade of Empire, in the market is very difficult the artillery and flintlock that buy the Empireregularweapon factoryto produce. Butin the black marketsellsis not the priceexpensive/noblearrivesoddly, is the qualityis not good. Might as welldirectlyto the LonedragonDwarfpurchasecannonflintlock.
不过厚脸皮归厚脸皮,罗德还是要好好检验下这东西。说不定它真的有用。黑锤堡现在近战部队有了,骑兵部队正在发展中,唯独缺乏远程武器,特别是远程重武器。由于帝国的火器封锁,市场上很难买到帝国正规兵工厂造出来的火炮和火枪。而黑市里卖的不是价格贵到离谱,就是质量不行。还不如直接向独龙城的矮人购买火铳式火枪。
