Standing that in the gloomyoffice, a Empireenvoyfaceshuts outin the roomcenter, looks all around. Beforehim, isKislevNorthGreat Lord——RodLowen. Hisbodydoes not have anymagnificentdecorationtoshow that hisstatus, in the meantime, hisoffice is also sosimple, even a rugdoes not have.
阴暗的办公室内,帝国使者正一脸嫌弃的站在房间中央,环顾四周。在他面前,是基斯里夫北境大领主——罗德・劳恩。他的身上没有任何华丽的装饰以证明他的身份,同时,他的办公室也是如此简单,甚至连一块地毯都没有。
The office chair that Rodsitsevenis only an ordinarystonechair, without the decoration of goldenandgem, seemseven morechillyin the darkenvironment. Inhimbehind, is a giantKislevmap. On the deskpiles up with the official documents, the onlyornamentis your fatherbearstatue, aspressing the heavy itemuse of copy clerk.罗德所坐的办公椅甚至只是一张普通的石椅,没有黄金和宝石的装饰,在幽暗的环境下显得愈发清冷。在他身后,是一张巨大的基斯里夫地图。办公桌上堆满公文,唯一的装饰品是一尊公熊雕像,作为压文书的重物使用。
The envoyslook all around, discovered that sideillustriousKislevGreat Lordlinked an aidenot to have...... to havehearsayLord Rodunexpectedlyto haveseveralaides, butdied a violent death, moreovercould not live is too long, therefore, thisnorthGreat Lordafter the lastaidewas missingthendecidedno longerto provide the aide. Althoughdoes not knowreal, butthisLordimageindeedmakes the envoywould not venture to give positive comments onat present. Justcame inhewas even suspecting that oneselffound fault the person.
使者环顾四周,发现赫赫有名的基斯里夫大领主身旁竟然连一个侍从都没有……有传闻罗德领主曾经有过几任侍从,但是都死于非命,而且活不了太久,于是,这位北方大领主在最后一个侍从失踪后便决定不再配备侍从。虽然不知道是不是真的,但是眼前这位领主的形象的确让使者不敢恭维。以至于刚进来的时候他甚至在怀疑自己是不是找错人了。Howevereveryonetoldhim, frontordinaryman was KislevlegendLordRod. Thus, hehas tobelieve.
不过所有人都告诉他,面前这位普通的男人便是基斯里夫传奇领主罗德。这样,他才不得不相信了。„Sheedovwas missing...... nothing to wonder at...... Ito warnyouinitially.”
“西多夫失踪……不足为怪……我当初就警告过你们。”Sitson the stonestool, Rodis sayingnot to worry or care about at all. Helooked at the envoy, in the look of opposite partybesides the arrogance, an anxiety. Rodknows that thisfrom the envoyarrogantreason of EmpireIvyleads, here, hecannot seeEmpirecapability mechanismsuchsplendid. The anxiousmood came from his duty of thislong journey. Convinced the Kislevperson, particularlyoneself, helpingthemseek forthatin the northmissingsuccessor. AlsoisIvyleadsto elect the emperorto waitMarius'sonly son——Sheedov.
坐在石凳上,罗德满不在意的说着。他看了看使者,对方的眼神中除了自大外,还有一丝焦虑。罗德知道这位来自帝国艾维领的使者自大的原因,在这里,他看不到帝国权力机构那样的富丽堂皇。焦虑的情绪则源自他此趟远行的任务。说服基斯里夫人,尤其是自己,帮忙他们寻找那位在北方失踪的继承人。也就是艾维领选帝候马吕斯的独子——西多夫。„Yes, Great Lord. Youindeedhave the foreknowledge, but, whothinkssituation that at that timein the futurecanencounter. Please be broad-minded, MariusLorddoes not intendto aim atyou, madeuslose the directionblindlyself-confidently, finallypaid the seriousprice.”
“是的,大领主。您的确有先见之明,可是,那时候谁又会想到未来会遇到的情况呢。请您海涵,马吕斯领主并不是有意针对您,盲目自信让我们迷失了方向,最终付出了惨重的代价。”
The envoysare replyingrespectfully.
使者恭恭敬敬的回答着。„That, what are yourpresentideas? Letmehelpseek forthatmissingfewgeneralSheedov, right?”
“那么,你们现在的想法是什么？让我帮忙寻找那个失踪的少将军西多夫,是吗？”Rodspoke frankly.罗德直言不讳到。
The complexion of envoybecomespale, hishelplessnod, prepareda lot ofwordsof pleasant to hear, has not actually thought that heredoes not have an opportunity, frontKislevLordgoes straight there and comes straight back, did not likecircling, chews the words of root of the tonguenot to say,makinghimveryhelpless. Thisdoes not conform to the etiquette......, but, whatperhapsthatis the etiquette of Empire...... is nothere...... Mariusconsistentlythinks...... is almost pitifullike——KislevNorth and barbarian, tofinally, themactuallymustplead the help of barbarian.
使者的脸色变得铁青,他无奈的点了点头,准备了一肚子好听的话,却没想到在这里没有一点用武之地,面前这位基斯里夫领主直来直去,不喜欢兜圈子,嚼舌根的话更是不想多说,让他很是无奈。这不符合礼仪……但是,或许那是帝国的礼仪……不是这里……就像马吕斯一贯认为的——基斯里夫北境和蛮子差不多……可悲的是,到最后,他们却要恳求蛮子的帮忙。„Probablyisthis, Great Lordyour excellency.”
“大概是这样的,大领主阁下。”
The envoysjustreplied,thencontinuesto speak of——
使者刚回答完,便继续说到——„EmpireandKislev were always the strategic alliance, the Norscabarbarianareourcommonenemies, Great Lordyoualsooncewent into actionpersonally, assistanceEmpire, beat the NorscaMarauderfleet. Hopesthistime, you can also the generousoutstretchaid.”
“帝国与基斯里夫向来是战略同盟,诺斯卡野蛮人是我们共同的敌人,大领主您也曾经亲自出马,协助帝国,击溃诺斯卡掠夺者舰队。希望这次,您也能慷慨的伸出援手。”„Generous? Thisis the duty of a narrow escape, Mariusnot does oneselforganize the manpower? Hisoneselfgoes northsimply, rescueshis son.”
“慷慨？这是九死一生的任务,马吕斯怎么不自己组织人手？或者干脆他自己北上,救出他的儿子。”BrandiOttocontemptuouslyinterrupted the words of envoy.
布兰迪奥托轻蔑的打断了使者的话。„ThisSir, ifIhave not admitted mistakes, you are also a Empiremember. Whymade impertinent remarkstoourLord? ThistimecomesKislev, is the hopeyour excellencyachievesconsistentlywithGreat LordRod, butregarding the Empirestate headas well asLord, pleasedo not discussarbitrarilyabsurdly.”
“这位大人,如果我没有认错的话,你也是帝国的一份子。为何对我们领主如此出言不逊？此次前来基斯里夫,是希望与大领主罗德阁下达成一致,但对于帝国元首以及领主,请您不要擅自妄论。”
The vision of envoyruthlesslyis staring atBrandiOtto, comparesin others, hehatesBrandiOtto, a Empireperson, evidentlyEmpirearistocrat, unexpectedlytowardKislev......
使者的目光狠狠的盯着布兰迪奥托,相比于其他人,他更加痛恨布兰迪奥托,一个帝国人,看样子还是帝国贵族,竟然向着基斯里夫……„Ihave not disparagedto satirize the meaning of MariusLord, Itold the facts, pleasereply that myissue, whyMariusnotoneselforganizationarmydid go north, rescueshisprecious son?”
“我并没有贬低讽刺马吕斯领主的意思,我只是实话实说,请你回答我刚才的问题,为什么马吕斯不自己组织军队北上,救出他的宝贝儿子？”BrandiOttograbs the issuenot to put, thismakes the Empireenvoyveryawkward. Hesuppressedfor quite a while, finallyhas tosaytruth——truth—— that harms the Empireface countenance
布兰迪奥托抓着问题不放,这让帝国使者很是尴尬。他憋了半天,终于不得不说出实情——一个有损帝国颜面的实情——„The place of Norscapeninsuladesolate, the Empirearmyis not familiar, does not suit there battles. Wedo not have the soldier of familiarnorthbattlefieldtactic, does not havefamiliarlocal conditionsscouting.”
“诺斯卡半岛蛮荒之地,帝国军队并不熟悉,也不适合在那里作战。我们没有熟悉北方战地战术的士兵,亦没有熟悉当地情况的斥候。”„Ihave said that thisNorthern Expeditionis a farce. Youare consuming the oneselfpreciouseffective strength, is digging one's own grave.”
“我早就说过,这场北伐就是一场闹剧。你们在消耗自己宝贵的有生力量,在自掘坟墓。”Speaking of Rodsatire. The envoysare dumbfounded, can only , whateverthisgroup of peopleare saying this and thattoadvancedgreatEmpireat presenthere. In the final analysis, thistimecomes, hisdutyexceeded the face.罗德讽刺的说到。使者哑口无言,只能任凭眼前这帮人在这里对着先进伟大的帝国说三道四。说到底,此次前来,他的任务胜过了脸面。„Lord Rod, youareKislevin historygreatestlegendLord, youdefeated the large-scaleinvasion of Norscatribe, expelledGreenskin, but alsounifiedKislev, killedVampireQueen. Thisa series ofmeritsshowedsufficientlyyouareoneare capable ofhavingboldnessLord......”
“罗德领主,您是基斯里夫有史以来最伟大的传奇领主,您击败了诺斯卡部落的大规模入侵,赶走了绿皮,还统一了基斯里夫,杀死了吸血鬼女王。这一系列的功绩足以证明您是一位有能力有魄力的领主……”
The envoywordshave not said, was wavedto breakbyRod, such falsewordslistentoo, the earquicklongcocoon, Rodreallydoes not wantto listen tohimrubbishto get downagain.
使者话还没说完,便被罗德挥手打断了,这样虚伪的话听太多,耳朵都快长茧了,罗德实在不想再听他废话下去。„Toldme the reason, why do Iwantto helpyourescuethatSheedov?”
“告诉我理由,凭什么我要帮你们救出那个西多夫？”
The Rodwordsmade the envoystop, heis staring at presentthisKislevLord, felt that oneselfinwhistle jig to a milestone...... hisindeedbarbarian, did not discuss the etiquettelikely, did not give the stair, went straight there and came straight back...... the envoyto thinkat heart, had no alternative. Has tohand over the card in hand.罗德的话让使者停住了,他盯着眼前这位基斯里夫领主,感觉自己在对牛弹琴……他的确像个蛮子,不谈礼仪,不给台阶,直来直去……使者在心里想着,却又无可奈何。不得不将底牌交出。„Becauseyouare benevolent, good, younotasobserver, right? Also, toexpressoursincerity, ifyouare willingto assistusto findmissingGeneralSheedov, MariusLordwill assistyouto constructNorthWall, andreachesmanytrade agreementswithKislev.”
“因为您是仁慈的,善良的,您不会只是作为旁观者的,对吧？还有,为了表示我们的诚意,若是您愿意协助我们找到失踪的西多夫将军,马吕斯领主将协助你们兴建北境长城,并且和基斯里夫达成多项贸易协定。”
The envoyshad a parched mouthare saying.
使者口干舌燥的说着。„Saidspecifically.”
“说得具体点。”Rodpressed for an answer. Regardingthisgroup of Empirepeople, Rodknows the whole story, after personpreviousset of person, onesetis the commonmatter, after dismantling the bridge after crossing, achieves the goal, gets angrydoes not acknowledge mistakes is also frequently. Mustmakethemsayclearly the condition. Alsomustsign the agreement, canbelieveslightly.罗德逼问到。对于这帮帝国人,罗德可谓知根知底,人前一套人后一套是常有的事,过河拆桥、达成目的后翻脸不认账也是经常。必须让他们把条件说得清清楚楚。还要签订协议,才可以稍微相信。„Thisis the newtradecategory that MariusLordlists, toKislevnewopentown. Regarding the construction of Wall, wewill provide the most outstandingengineer and financial support of every yearthreeten thousandGold Crown......”
“这是马吕斯领主列出的新增贸易类目,还有对基斯里夫新增开放的城镇。对于长城的建设,我们将提供最优秀的工程师和每年三万金王冠的资金支持……”It seems likeMad Kingthisgot down the initial capital...... Rodto whisperat heart, the visionhas swept the listfast, thisbusinessmustdo, has the answerat heart.
看来疯王这回是下了血本……罗德在心里嘀咕着,目光快速扫过清单,这笔买卖要不要做,心里已然有了答案。
