„Heard? Erengradhad the rarebigfire, the entirecity1/3city areawere burnt down. The entirecityis paralyzed.”
“听说了吗?厄仑格拉德发生了罕见的大火灾,全城三分之一的城区被烧毁。整座城市陷入瘫痪中。”Baker Port, decorates the family/home of tavernmagnificentYouth Travel Service. Two the aristocratyouth who puts ontakes care ofgracefullyis standingin the roombusiness hall, is discussing the major event of remotenorth. A fatyouthfaceis greasy, the looseritualrobecannotcoverhisbulgebigbelly. Fathangson the body, seemsis standingstrenuouslygeneral.贝克港,装饰华丽的青旅之家酒馆。两名穿着优雅服侍的贵族青年正站在房间大厅中央,议论着遥远北方发生的重大事件。胖头青年一脸油腻,宽松的礼袍也没能遮挡他凸起的大肚皮。一身肥肉挂在身上,好似站着都吃力一般。To the words of colleague, hehas not been caring, butsits, tranquilbeckoning with the hand, is sneeringspeaking of——
对着同僚的话,他没有在意,而是坐下来,平静的摆了摆手,冷笑着说到——„Ialsoheard, Brothers, but, the newsare too many are too mixed, Ido not thinkthisdigitis real. Somepeoplesaid that the fireburnt down1/4cities, causedseveral thousanddead, 100,000peoplewere homeless. Alsosomepeople said that only then1/5city areawere burnt down, the casualtiestotal number of peoplebe is only less thanten thousandpeople. The cityoperationis normal, has not collapsed. Alsosomepeoplesaid,half ofcity areawere burnt down, Erengradended, Kislevended. In brief, variousviewshave.”
“我也听说了,兄弟,但是,消息太多太杂,我可不认为这数字是真实的。有人说大火烧毁了四分之一的城市,造成数千人死亡,十万人无家可归。还有人说,只有五分之一的城区被烧毁了,伤亡总人数只有不到万人。城市运作正常,并没有崩溃。还有人说,一半的城区都被烧毁了,厄仑格拉德完了,基斯里夫完了。总之,各种说法都有。”„Hearsayis truly incredible.”
“小道消息确实不可信。”Slightlyhandsomethinyoutharistocratin a low voice.
略显英俊的消瘦青年贵族低声到。„But the Kislevofficialhas not given the explicitanswer.”
“但是基斯里夫官方并没有给出明确的答复。”„Theynaturallydo not have the meansto give the explicitanswer. Such large-scaledisaster, the casualtiespopulationin one single daycannotcount. Howeverone thing is certain, thatcityhas not collapsed. Otherwise, will not have a sound. Ifreallylooks likecertainrumorsuch, Erengradcollapsed, will have the innumerablerefugeesto rush toherefrom the north. Howeverwesee, hears, has not hadsuchmatter. Therefore, thesecollapseopinions, are the rumors of nihility.”
“他们当然没办法给出明确的答复。这么大型的灾难,伤亡人口不是一朝一夕可以统计出来的。但是有一点可以肯定,那座城市并没有崩溃。否则,不会没有一点动静。若是真像某些传言那样,厄仑格拉德崩溃了,那么,将会有无数的难民从北方涌向这里。但是我们所看到的,所听到的,并没有发生这样的事。所以,那些崩溃言论,都是虚无的传言而已。”
The fatfacearistocratcontinuesto speak of——
胖脸贵族继续说到——„Ibelieve,Erengradwas damaged. Fire, burnsveryprosperously, entireEmpireknew. WhatImustsaywas——entireEmpireknew......”
“不过我相信,厄仑格拉德还是遭到了重创。一场大火,烧得很旺啊,全帝国都知道了。我要说的是——全帝国都知道了……”
The fatfacearistocratyouthhas leaned the face, looks atoneselfcompanion. Probablyis promptinganything.
胖脸贵族青年侧过脸去,看着自己的同伴。好像在提示着什么。
The quick, handsomethinyouthalsoresponded——
很快,英俊的消瘦青年也反应过来了——„Yousaid,Kislevdoes intendthisnewsmagnification?”
“你是说,基斯里夫有意将这个消息扩大化?”
The fat peoplenod, tooneselfoneglass of wines, the fine goodswas continue speak of——but actually
胖子点了点头,给自己倒了一杯葡萄酒,细品着继续说到——„Isn't thisveryobvious? King of the Northwas declaringto the entire worldheneedsto help. Thissolelyis notmoralkidnapping, is the nakedbenefittemptation.”
“这不是很明显吗?北境之王在向全世界宣示着他需要帮助。这不单单是道德绑架,还是赤裸裸的利益诱惑。”
The thinyoutharistocratnods.
消瘦的青年贵族点了点头。„Kislevsituated in the Empireborder arearegion , helping Empiresweep clear the surroundingvarioushumanforeign enemiesfor a long time, prevented the invasion of northernBarbarian. Now, thisKingdomhasdifficult, as the neighboring country, the Empireaspectthencannotsit by and do nothing.”
“基斯里夫位于帝国边疆地带,长期帮帝国清扫周围的各种人类外敌,阻挡了北方蛮族的入侵。现在,这个王国有难,作为邻邦,帝国方面便不能坐视不管。”„Alsoa little.” The fat peoplereminded, „Erengrad, althoughdid not have the issueofficialcasualtiesstatistical reports, butrelievedto seal/confercity, thismeans that the plaguehad been eliminated. At least, was controlled.”
“还有一点。”胖子提醒到,“厄仑格拉德虽然没有发布官方的伤亡统计报告,但是解除了封城,这意味着瘟疫已经被消灭了。至少,被控制住了。”Then, the thinyoutharistocratcomplexionchanges. Thishiding information was extremely really important. Thismeansanything, everyonewas clear. The roadwill make a connectionagain, the harborwill revolveagain. Moreover, comparesin the beforehandcity, Erengradat this momentneedsto trade togetherandrestore the trade. The cityneedsto reconstruct, will havemassiveprojectsto launch, the announcement that once the officialissueplaguerelieves, the fleet of the world, the caravanwill come in swarmslike surging tides. Merchant who Old Worldneverlacks the sharp nose.
说完,消瘦的青年贵族脸色为之一变。这条隐藏信息实在太过重要了。这意味着什么,所有人都清楚。商道将再次打通,港口将再次运转。而且,相比于之前的城市,此刻的厄仑格拉德更需要通商和恢复贸易。城市需要重建,将会有大量的工程会展开,一旦官方发布瘟疫解除的公告,全世界的船队,商队将如潮水般蜂拥而至。旧大陆从不缺嗅觉灵敏的商人。„Weshouldpreparethisbiglistahead of time.”
“我们应该提前准备这笔大单了。”
The thin peoplespoke, during the spoken languageswas the excitement that to be hardto conceal.
瘦子说到,言语间是难以掩饰的兴奋。
The fatfaceyouthis actually smilinglightly, waves.
胖脸青年却淡淡笑着,挥了挥手。„Have youstartedto get ready?”
“你已经开始准备了?”Thinyoutharistocratsurprise.
消瘦的青年贵族诧异到。„Thatisnatural, Ihave hired the twoblackwidowmercenaryteam, fromMiddenheim, is going tohere. The factory the full loadhas begun, stores upvarioustypes of cargos. Onlywaits forthat sideErengrad the official confirmationplagueto relievefinally. Icome, isremindsyou, do not missthisopportunity. Weare the family friendship of many generations, your fatherandmy father, but the allybrothers, we are also. Youconsideredmybusinessbefore, now, the opportunitycame, Inaturally must tellyouone.”
“那是当然,我已经雇佣了两个黑寡妇佣兵队,正从米登海姆出发,前往这里。工厂已经满负荷开工,囤积各种货物。只等厄仑格拉德那边最后官方确认瘟疫解除。我来,就是来提醒你,不要错过这次机会。我们可是世交,你父亲与我父亲可是战友兄弟,我们也是。你之前那么照顾我的生意,现在,机会来了,我自然也要告诉你一声。”
The fat peoplesmile, return.
胖子笑了笑,回到。

At the beginning ofErengradurban construction, obviouslyis notthisgeneration of canmeet. Butitreconstructedday, has actually put at present.两个人都知道,想在商业竞争激烈的旧大陆生存发展,常规套路是赚不到什么利益的。想要获得巨大收益,就要冒险,不是铤而走险游走于灰色产业,便是等待这样的自然机会。一座城市,只有两次赢得巨额利润的时机,一个是它第一次被人发现的时候,从无到有的高速发展时期。那时候,是个商人都可以挣到丰厚的回报。还有一次机会,就是当它遇到灾难,从灾难中复苏的时候,大量本地居民的需求,官方的需求,将会给投资者带来无比巨大的收益。厄仑格拉德城建之初,显然不是这一代人可以遇到的。而它重建之日,却已然摆在了眼前。
The thinmalearistocratyouthis excited, he is preparingat heartfast, regardless ofErengradcasualtiesbig, has the reconstruction the enormous demand that after the disasterresumesproduction.

消瘦的男贵族青年兴奋着,他在心里快速筹划着,无论厄仑格拉德伤亡有多大,灾后都具有重建恢复生产的巨大需求。将这些物资和人力运到厄仑格拉德,首先要有强有力的护卫,就像自己朋友这般,花大手笔雇佣佣兵保护商船。一旦物资人力抵达灾后的厄仑格拉德,那将是供不应求的稀有货,他定然可以在那座被毁灭了一半的城市里捞个盆满锅满。
......
……A few days later, Erengrad.
几天后,厄仑格拉德。In the city hall, Municipal Senior OfficialAlvishas the excitementtemporarilylamelyenters the Rodoffice. Places the Great Lordtable , before onepack of thickstatistical reports.
市政大厅内,临时市政长官阿尔维斯带着兴奋的心情一瘸一拐的走进罗德的办公室。将一叠厚厚的统计报告放在大领主的桌前。Cannot help butRodinquired,Alvisgrasps the canteen on table, the bigmouthdrank, swallows after quite a while, pantsspeaking of——
不由得罗德询问,阿尔维斯抓起桌上的水壶,大口喝了起来,吞咽半天后,才气喘吁吁的说到——„For successive three days, had not presented a case of newinfected person! The plaguerelieved!”
“连续三天,没有出现一例新的感染者!瘟疫解除了!”Alvislooks atRod, in the eyefullisjoyfulandproud. Thatisseveralmonthsmost exciting a day. Afterexperiencingseveral monthsdarknesssuffered, the city officials in entirecitywelcomedhappiest a day.

King of the Northarrives at the direction, thatiscompared with a Ice Queenmore substantiveperson. Everyonedoes not dareto haveslightneglecting. Butnow, thattied tightseveral monthsnerve, finallyobtained the extrication.阿尔维斯看着罗德,眼里满是欣喜与自豪。那是几个月来最兴奋的一天。在经历了数月的黑暗折磨之后,整座城市的市政官员们迎来了最美好的一天。在过去的几年里,他们是高高在上的大人,而在这段瘟疫时间内,他们成为了最苦最累的一批人。北境之王亲临指挥,那可是比冰雪女王更有分量的人。所有人都不敢有丝毫的怠慢。而现在,那紧绷了数月的神经,终于得到了解脱。„Good.”
“好。”Rodtranquilreturned toone, as ifallhas been expected. Hesets outfrom the seat , to continue to speak of——罗德平静的回了一句,似乎所有的一切都早已在预料之中。他从座位上起身,继续说到——„Now, twomattersmustmanageimmediately.”
“现在,有两件事要马上去办。”„First. To the entire worlddisseminates the news that the plaguerelieves, particularlythat sideEmpire. Simultaneouslyopenouter harbor.”
“第一。将瘟疫解除的消息向全世界散播,尤其是帝国那边。同时开放外港。”„Second, organizes the Erengradall the peoplecongress. Imustspeakto the residentpersonally. About the detailedreport of thisfire, mustgive the peopleas soon as possible an answer.”
“第二,组织厄仑格拉德全民大会。我要亲自对市民演讲。关于这场大火的详细报告,必须尽快给民众一个答复。”
The Rodcomplexionis tranquil, makes a hand signal, speaking.罗德脸色平静,做出一个手势,说到。
