迎接马克西米安的队伍并不算宏大,却也不失排场。40-50号人在码头上站成一排,其中大多数是厄仑格拉德的各部门官员,而后是骑士,最后才是官员、骑士们的侍从。基斯里夫的旗帜在海风中迎风飘扬,宣示着这块领地的归属权。Maximilianhas not made the servantsupport by the arm, jumps down the deckdirectly, before arriving at the team .马克西米安没有让仆人搀扶,径直跳下船板,来到队伍前。„Welcomeyourarrival, Great Lord.”
“欢迎你的到来,大领主。”Althoughis the spiritual leader of Kislevperson, varioustop of the headtitles, butdiplomatically, Rodperformanceas far as possibleis still modestandlow-key.
尽管已经是基斯里夫人的精神领袖,又头顶各种头衔,但是在外交上,罗德依旧尽可能的表现出谦虚和低调。Maximilianis somewhat surprised, hisoriginally thoughtwas heldby the KislevpersonforRod of gods, canbe a Kingstance. Butat this moment, showsbeforehim, butis an ordinarymiddle-ageddauntless man.马克西米安有些意外,他原本以为被基斯里夫人捧为神明的罗德,会是一副王者姿态。而此刻,展现在他面前的,不过是一个普通的中年硬汉而已。Naturally, knows very well the Kislevcivil warprocessMaximilianto know,at presentthisman, is not the ordinarymiddle-ageddauntless man. HisstrengthsurpassedIce Queen, surpassedoverwhelming majorityEmpireElector Count, ifhelivesinEmpire, perhapsthenhas the opportunityto compete with the Emperorthrone. Quitehas the legendarycharacterregarding such a, Maximiliannaturallydoes not dareto idle.
当然,熟知基斯里夫内战过程的马克西米安知道,眼前这个男人,绝非普通的中年硬汉。他的实力超过了冰雪女王,超过了绝大部分帝国的选帝侯,若是他生在帝国,恐怕便有机会竞争皇帝的宝座。对于这样一个颇有传奇色彩的人物,马克西米安自然不敢懈怠。Hewalks, the friendlyoutstretchright hand, shakes handwithRod. After thisis the Kislevcivil war , the firstheavyweightvisitor who welcomed. OstlandandKislevborder on, in the past the border issuehungin the difficult problem that bothhas not solvedfor a long time. Varioustradedisputessometimes happen, butnow, personallyarrives atKislevas the Ostlandactualhierarch, likely both sidessolve the conflicts , to promote the friendship the besttime.
他走过来,友好的伸出右手,与罗德握手。这算是基斯里夫内战以后迎来的第一位重量级访客。奥斯特领与基斯里夫接壤,过去边境问题是悬在两者之间许久未曾解决的难题。各种贸易纷争更是时有发生,而现在,作为奥斯特领的实际掌权者亲自来到基斯里夫,很可能双方化解矛盾,增进友谊的最佳时机。„IfIhave not guessed that wrong, youareKislevKing of the North——Lord Rod.”
“如果我没猜错的话,你就是基斯里夫北境之王——罗德领主。”„King of the Northdoes not exist, nowKislevTzarisPavirEmperor.”
“北境之王已经不存在了,现在基斯里夫的沙皇是帕维尔皇帝。”Rodis smilingreturn.罗德微笑着回到。„Sorry, ismynewscontains errors, seeming likeKislevis blusterythese days, the current political situationreallychangesquickly......”
“抱歉,是我的消息有误,看起来这段时间里基斯里夫可谓风起云涌,时局变化得真快……”Maximilianchanged a statementimmediately, naturally, hewas notreallydoes not know, butprobedintentionally.马克西米安立即改口,当然,他并不是真的不知道,只是故意试探而已。Rodsmiles, immediatelyleadsthisstatushonoredguestto move toward the rest area.罗德笑了笑,随即带着这位身份尊贵的客人走向休息区。„Journeyis tired, Iarranged the room, todayyouandyoursubordinatefirstrestin the city, thesethingsand othertomorrowwill chatagain, sincecame, will not misssuch a daytwodays, not?”
“旅途劳累,我安排了房间,今天你和你的部下先在城里休息吧,那些事情等明天再聊,既然来了,不也差这么一天两天的,不是吗?”Rodwalksintroduced that tothisvisitinghonored guestErengradalsohasNorth. Naturally , is not too far.

The ocean navigationdoes not needto pass through the forest and hills, so long asdoes not meet the storm, basically the speedislandseveraltimes. According toMaximilianonegroup of mental outlook, Rodguessed that the time in the seajoltingare not mostoverfivedays.罗德边走边给这位远道而来的贵客介绍起厄仑格拉德还有北境。当然,也不算太远。从奥斯特领的贝克港起航,顺风的话三天就可以抵达厄仑格拉德港。海上航行不需要经过森林和群山,只要不遇到风暴,基本上速度是陆上的好几倍。按照马克西米安一行人的精神面貌来看,罗德猜测他们在海上颠簸的时间最多不超过五天。

……Night, Erengradearlyentered the dream, tranquillyandis accompanyingthisport cityserenely, not likeEmpirecapitalAltdorf, after at nightfall, as beforebrilliantly illuminated, crowded. Here, the peoplenightentertainment are not many, the business of tavernis inferior for tenyears ago like thatirritable, are more, ismerchants who the exhaustedtravelerandhas a resttemporarily.
夜里,厄仑格拉德早早的就进入了梦想,宁静和安详伴着这座海港城市,不像帝国首都阿尔道夫,入夜后依旧灯火通明,人来人往。在这里,人们夜晚的娱乐并不多,酒馆的生意不如十年前那般火爆,更多的,是疲惫的旅人和临时歇脚的商人们。MaximilianbringsonsonOswaldrooftop, fromhere, canoverlookentireErengrad, becausethiscityconstructsabove a plain, without the hillblocking of fluctuate, the five layersbuildingtallpalace hotelattic, thencanoverlook the entirecity. Itinside of Erengradcity hall, compared withcity hall, thishotelevenalsohigh. Itis the place of specialreception of officialguest.马克西米安带着儿子奥斯瓦尔德爬上天台,从这里,可以俯瞰整个厄仑格拉德,由于这座城市建在一片平原之上,没有起起伏伏的丘陵遮挡,五层楼高的豪华旅馆顶楼,便可以俯瞰整座城市。它就在厄仑格拉德市政大厅的旁边,比起市政厅,这座旅馆甚至还高了一层。它是专门接待官方来宾的地方。„Saw? My son.”
“看到了吗?我的儿子。”Under the nighttime sky, Maximiliantouches the oneselfson'sheadto ask.
夜空下,马克西米安抚摸着自己儿子的脑袋问到。
The youngchildstands on tiptoes the tip of the toeto look at the dim light of night outside parapet, is bewildered.
年幼的孩童只是踮起脚尖望着栏杆外的夜色,一脸茫然。„Un...... saw...... Isee the peacefulcity and street, the distant placehave the ship,...... harborandwharf...... father.”
“嗯……看到了……我看到安静的城市和街道,远处有船,还有……港口、码头……父亲。”
The boysstop the stopto reply.
男孩停停顿顿的回答着。Maximilianis only the smile, heshouldersshoulder—— the son马克西米安只是微笑,他将儿子扛上肩头——These that „yousee, ismost peoplesees, however, as the leader, as the successor, youshould notonlyseethese, shouldseesomedeeperlevelbythesephenomena the thing. Yousaw a peacefulcity, it is very indeed peaceful, almostcanhear the sound of oneselfheartbeattoyoupeacefully, what does thisprove?”
“你看到的这些,都是大多数人看到的,然而,作为领袖,作为继承人,你不应该只看到这些,应该透过这些现象看到一些更深层次的东西。你看到了一座安静的城市,的确,它很安静,安静到你几乎可以听到自己心跳的声音,这证明什么?”„Whatproves?”
“证明什么?”Oswald'scuriousasking.
奥斯瓦尔德好奇的问到。„Showed that thiscitytoomanynightentertainment, whatpersonhasn't neededat night the entertainment?”
“证明这座城市没有太多的夜间娱乐,什么人需要夜间娱乐?”Question of Maximilianevolution, howhemustmake the oneselfsonunderstand the self-ponderin proper order.马克西米安循循渐进的发问,他要让自己儿子懂得如何自我思考。On the face that sinceOswaldconfusescansee,thisboyhas not as if arrived atthatponderthingessence the age.
只是,从奥斯瓦尔德迷惑的脸上可以看出,这个男孩似乎还没到那个思考事物本质的年龄。„Merchant, aristocratandrich man...... thesepeopleneedat night the entertainment. The civiliansare tiredin the daytimeworkdid not have the strength, nighthas no interest in spendto enjoy, cannot spendthismoney. Only thentheserich merchantsandaristocratshaveat night the behavior of entertainment. Thiscitylacksthese, provedperson who has the assetare not many. Itsbusinesscaused heavy losses, urgently neededdevelopment, eveningtimewepass throughseveralblocks, the brothelentranceis lonely, thismeans that the economicalwholeis not good. Itcontinuesto restorefrom the wound of war.”
“商人、贵族、有钱人……这些人需要夜间娱乐。平民在白天的工作中早已累得没有了力气,夜里无心出来消费享受,也花不起这个钱。只有那些富商、贵族才有夜间娱乐的行为。这座城市缺少这些,证明有资产的人并不多。它的商业遭到重创,急需发展,傍晚的时候我们经过几个街区,妓院门口冷冷清清,这意味着经济整体不好。它继续从战争的创伤中恢复过来。”Maximiliancontinuesto speak of——马克西米安继续说到——„Also, youspoke ofa moment ago, theseships. Yousaw, Ialsosaw, however, where do younoticethesemerchantsmostlyto come from?”
“还有,你刚才说到的,那些船。你看到了,我也看到了,然而,你有没有注意到这些商船大多来自哪里?”
The oldLordissueperplexed the oneselfsonagain. Oswaldwas more puzzled, hefeelsbefore the fatherloses face. But, thatis a father, whatrelationsalsothere is? Loses facebefore the fathercompared withwill always lose facebeforeothersin the future.
老领主的问题再次难住了自己的儿子。奥斯瓦尔德更加困惑了,他感到在父亲面前丢尽了面子。可是,那是父亲,又有什么关系?在父亲面前丢脸总比日后在别人面前丢脸。„I...... do not have the attention......”
“我……没注意……”Return that the boysmade excuses.
男孩支支吾吾的回到。„Thesemerchant shipsomeflagsalsohang above, some, althoughhas unloaded the flag, butfromcontour, wherecandistinguishthemto come from. Most of themcome fromBaker Port, Nordland that approaches, extremelyfewshipsfromBrettonia, as forArabyor a farthermerchant ship, could not see. Thisproof, Erengradmajor trading partnerorEmpire . Moreover, except forus, isNordland.”
“那些商船有的旗帜还挂在上面,有的虽然已经卸下旗帜,但是从外形上来看,还是可以分辨出它们来自哪里。它们大多来自贝克港,还有临近的诺德领,极少的船只来自巴托尼亚,至于阿拉比或者更远的商船,就更见不到了。这证明,厄仑格拉德的主要贸易伙伴还是帝国,而且,除了我们,就是诺德领。”Maximiliananalyzes.马克西米安分析到。„Knows that our time the goal of comingErengrad?”
“知道我们这次来厄仑格拉德的目的吗?”Hecontinuesto ask.
他继续问到。„Discussed the cooperation, discussed the trade agreement!”
“谈合作,谈贸易协定!”Reply that this, sonOswaldblurted out.
这回,儿子奥斯瓦尔德脱口而出的回答到。„Right.”Maximiliansmiles, „wedo not know that the card in hand of opposite party, then, canseefromthesedetails, theseinformationare seemingly immaterial, tonegotiating, actuallyhelpful. At least, itcanmakeyouknow fairly well.”
“对。”马克西米安笑到,“我们不知道对方的底牌,那么,从这些细节上就可以看出,这些信息看似无关紧要,对谈判来说,却是有帮助的。至少,它可以让你心中有数。”„My son, leadingyouto come outto experienceoutsideworld, does not makeyouplay, butmakesyoulook,listens, learn/study. In the future, youwill inheritmyposition, mygiven name, withmyarmy. Youmustgrowas soon as possible.”
“我的儿子,带你出来见识外面的世界,不是让你来玩的,而是让你多看,多听,多学习。将来,你将继承我的位置,我的名号,和我的军队。你必须尽快成长起来。”Maximilianlooks atoneselfson, meaningfulspeaking.马克西米安看着自己儿子,意味深长的说到。„Reallyhopes that Karlcancomewithme......”
“真希望卡尔能和我一起来……”Oswaldsighs, heremembered the oneselfgoodpartner.
奥斯瓦尔德叹了一口气,他想起了自己的好伙伴。„Karl Franz? Snort, did yousaythatwaste?”
“卡尔弗兰兹?哼,你说那个废物?”

“他……他不是废物……他只是还没长大……”Oswaldspoke ofafraid to say a word, hewantsfor the goodpartnerargument of oneself, butsawsends the Thunderboltfathergreatly, manydid not sayanything......
奥斯瓦尔德吞吞吐吐的说到,他想替自己的好伙伴辩解,但是看到大发雷霆的父亲,也不好多说什么……
