In the summer, the warm and humid air streams from Sea of Claws meets the Northern Wastes cold air, forms rainfall that continues, falls to this barren lands. 夏季,来自利爪海的暖湿气流遇上北方废土的冷空气,形成绵延不断的降雨,落向这片贫瘠的土地。 Sits in the office, is looking at the continuous drizzle outside city, this feeling somewhat is quite satisfied. Except for moist, in the summer does not have nothing well. South here not like Empire, or Tilea and other areas, by the mosquito puzzle, the Kislev summer will not be been hot in the summer. If there is a security beautiful small town, Kislev may be called an excellent summer resort. 坐在办公室内,望着城外的绵绵细雨,这种感觉颇有几分惬意。除了潮湿,夏季并没有什么不好。这里不像帝国南部,或者提利尔等地区,夏季饱受蚊虫困扰,基斯里夫的夏季也不会太热。如果有安全美丽的小镇,基斯里夫堪称一个绝佳的避暑胜地。 „Sir, what does the lunch come?” “大人,午餐来点什么？” Steward Murros walked from out of the door, he with ordinary is the same, on the face is hanging serenely, gentle. 管家穆罗斯从门外走了进来,他和平常一样,脸上挂着安详,平和。 „Noodles, come eel surface, must add the mashed potatoes that. I always think that noodles type of thing can fill the belly.” “面条,来一份鳗鱼面,要加土豆泥的那种。我总是觉得面条这种东西才能填饱肚子。” Rod smiles. Then, Steward Murros then turns around to leave, arranges the Lord lunch. 罗德微笑到。说完,管家穆罗斯便转身离开,安排领主的午餐。 Before long, one bowl of fragrant water cooked the eel surface then to be carried the Rod table. 不一会儿,一碗香喷喷的水煮鳗鱼面便被端上了罗德的餐桌。 „Together.” “一起吧。” Sees Murros to stand in the one side, Rod invites this old Steward and oneself together, has the lunch. Time in private, Rod absolutely does not have the rack. This is many retinues is also willing to follow one of the they Lord reasons loyally and devotedly. 看到穆罗斯站在一旁,罗德邀请这位老管家与自己一起,共进午餐。私下的时候,罗德完全没有架子。这也是许多仆从愿意忠心耿耿追随他们领主的原因之一。 „Sir, thanks, I have had the lunch.” “大人,谢谢,我吃过午餐了。” Old Steward replied with a smile. 老管家笑着回答。 ...... …… „How did city wall construction work?” “城墙修建工作怎么样了？” When to finishing eating the lunch, the Rod talent and Murros chatted the official business. 待到吃完午餐,罗德才和穆罗斯聊起了公事。 „Also good, the progress is very quick, according to your plan, has completed 1/3 resiliences at present. It is expected that passes the two moon/month again, can finish. Autumn, autumn before arriving, we can build up this stone wall absolutely.” “还不错,进度挺快的,按照您的规划,目前已经完成三分之一的工程量。预计再过两个月,就可以完工。秋天,秋天到来之前,我们绝对可以建起这道石墙。” Murros speech time, emphasized „stone wall” intentionally this two character. Because of before then, some people have never thought the project by such quick speed construction. The construction project of Blackhammer Fort outer city, Rod used the wool stone wall, simply speaking, makes use of local materials, with stone material stack city wall that these abandon, because the hewn stone has not undergone the processing, is mostly uneven, the size varies, after they pile, the slit back water mud packing makes the bond, after the air-drying, at the same time the natural stone wall then formed like this. This is the most effective constructing wall way, otherwise, by the Blackhammer Fort existing labor force, must cut the stone material, neat piles upward, perhaps 35 years, the city wall is unable to finish. The use of cement, many functions, to put in order a wall get together in together, forms a whole. 穆罗斯说话的时候,故意强调了“石墙”这两个字。因为在这之前,从未有人想过工程会以这么快的速度建造。黑锤堡外城的修建工程,罗德采用了毛石墙,简单来说,就是就地取材,用那些废弃的石料堆砌城墙,由于毛石没有经过加工,大多有棱有角,大小不一,将它们堆起来之后,缝隙再用水泥填充做粘合剂,等到风干之后,一面天然的石墙便这样形成了。这是最有效率的建墙方式,否则,以黑锤堡现有的劳动力,要切割石料,再整整齐齐的往上堆,恐怕三五年,城墙也无法完工。水泥的使用,更多的作用,是为了将整面墙聚合在一起,形成一个整体。 „Good, making the worker pick up the speed. We must with the time race, these Beastman, not know when will come to attack town. City wall one day finishes early, to lifting the public confidence is very helpful.” “好的,让工人加快速度。我们要和时间赛跑,那些野兽人,不知道什么时候又会前来袭击城镇。城墙早一日完工,对提升民众信心很有帮助。” Rod spoke. 罗德说到。 „I understand, Sir.” “我明白,大人。” Murros nods. 穆罗斯点了点头。 „Murros, an issue, I want with your discussion under.” “穆罗斯,还有个问题,我想和你探讨下。” Rod turns the head to ask suddenly. 罗德突然转头问到。 „You said.” “您说。” „These Norscan, you thought how then should manage them? Their population were getting more and more.” “那些诺斯卡人,你觉得接下来应该如何管理他们？他们的人数越来越多了。” Rod sighs. This is almost professionalism Unit, they except for the training, then go hunting. However in addition the Norsca army of small scale is good to manage, once the scale increases, without the weaponry hits, is one big troublesome. 罗德叹了一口气。这几乎就是一支职业化的部队,他们除了训练,便是打猎。但是小规模的诺斯卡军队尚且好管理,规模一旦增大,又没有仗打的时候,便是一大麻烦。 „I thought that they need a destination, can divulge the anger the place.” “我觉得他们需要一个去处,一个可以宣泄怒火的地方。” Murros lowers the head, in a soft voice speaking. 穆罗斯低着头,轻声说到。 „I have allowed the merchant to construct the brothel to here.” “我已经允许商人到这里兴建妓院了。” „No, is not the brothel, solely that place is insufficient.” “不,不是妓院,单单那地方还不够。” „Is your meaning?” “那你的意思是？” Rod raised the head, asks. 罗德抬起头,问到。 „These Norscan, the place that needs one usually also to fight.” “这些诺斯卡人,他们需要一个平时也可以战斗的地方。” Murros suggested. 穆罗斯建议到。 „Arena?” “竞技场？” Rod is frowning. 罗德皱着眉头。 „Yes. The fight and woman, now, they had one of them, but also needs to be different. The arena then can meet the needs of these people.” “是的。搏斗和女人,现在,他们有了其中之一,还需要另一样。竞技场便可以满足这些人的需求。” „But......” “但是……” „I know your worry, Sir, if you are not willing like Ironring, to turn into the public movement. Can construct in greatly underground.” “我知道您的顾虑,大人,如果你不愿意像铁环城那样,变成公开的运动。大可以建在地下。” Murros is smiling speaking. 穆罗斯微笑着说到。 „I understood, this project can integrate one of our constructing city plans. Temporarily can not need to branch out the manpower to construct, if the city wall constructs, the next work is this.” “我明白了,这件工程可以纳入我们的建城计划之一。暂时可以不用分出人手建造,但是一旦城墙建起来,下一步工作就是这个。” Rod said, the vision returns the map again. That hung on the office wall about on the 2nd the North map becomes Rod to stop to stare at the time longest thing. 罗德说完,目光再次放回地图。那面挂在办公室墙壁上北境地图成为罗德近两日驻足凝视时间最长的物件。 „Murros, a matter. I want to make more farmers go out of the city, goes to outside to open up the new land.” “穆罗斯,还有一件事。我想让更多的农夫走出城去,去外面开垦新的土地。” Is staring at the map, Rod worried speaking. Economy and military, indispensable. On the military, there is Norscan to take powerful Unit, the defense work of Blackhammer Fort does not need too to be worried temporarily. However, must provide for such Unit, the economy must follow. The lumber that the fur and logging that although the hunting obtains obtain can make the good economic income. 凝视着地图,罗德心事重重的说到。经济和军事,缺一不可。军事上面,有诺斯卡人作为强力部队,黑锤堡的防御工作暂时是不用太担心了。但是,要供养这样一支部队,经济必须跟上。尽管狩猎获得的毛皮和伐木获得的木材可以获得不错的经济收入。 However this is unendurable, once because the winter arrives, the hunting action was restricted. The animal in forest will tail off, goes out to hunt each time, possibly was very long can find a leaving behind animal. Thus, the fur is not then able to obtain massively. 但是这毕竟不能持久,因为一旦冬季到来,狩猎行动便受到了限制。森林中的动物会变少,每次外出狩猎,可能很久才能找到一头落单的动物。这样,毛皮便无法大量获得。 It can be said that throughout the entire winter, the fur is scarce. Once Evil Moon approaches again, various Beastman and Werewolf will then increase. Is all right goes all out in the open country and Beastman, this is the matter that the fool does. Therefore, one throughout the entire winter, Blackhammer Fort then lost two source of income — — lumbers and furs. 可以说,整个冬天,毛皮都是稀缺的。而一旦邪月再次逼近,各种野兽人和狼人便又会增多起来。没事在野外和野兽人拼命,这是傻子才做的事。所以,一整个冬天,黑锤堡便失去了两项收入来源——木材和毛皮。 Therefore, Blackhammer Fort must deal with the long winter momentarily. 为此,黑锤堡必须随时应对漫长的冬季。 „New land...... sounds like good, perhaps however my Sir Lord, no one is willing to open up the farmland to the suburb. With all due respect, the people in town have no security sense now. Let alone arrived at the suburb.” “新的土地……听起来是不错,但是我的领主大人,恐怕没有人愿意到郊外开垦农田。恕我直言,城镇里的人们现在都还没什么安全感。更别说到郊外了。” Murros considers honestly. He is loyal Steward, Rod likes such realistic person. What a pity Murros was old, Rod does not know that he is competent for several years, he is 70 years old, leg and foot some are not nearly agile. However the mind is very flexible, is very sober. 穆罗斯诚实相告。他是一位忠诚的管家,罗德就喜欢这样实事求是的人。可惜穆罗斯年龄大了,罗德不知道他还能干几年,他已经快七十岁了,腿脚有些不利索了。但是头脑还很灵活,很清醒。 „Therefore I planned that helps these adventurers build up tower.” Rod spoke, „constructed the material of city wall with us.” “所以我打算帮这些冒险者建起高塔。”罗德说到,“用我们建造城墙的材料。” „What that does tower make to use? Avoidance wild animal?” “那高塔做什么用？躲避野兽？” Murros asked. 穆罗斯问到。 „Solely is not avoids the function of wild animal, it can also be the beacon tower to use. In other words, when there is a wild animal attack, the farmer can hide in tower, then lights the beacon-fire, like this, the guard on Blackhammer Fort then can the earliest possible time know the Beastman attack the warning, thus sends out Unit to support these to place the farmer in dangerous situation. Naturally, constructs the tower expense to by Blackhammer Fort pay. From the beginning, we must the policy encourage, not?” “不单单是躲避野兽的作用,它还可以作为烽火台使用。也就是说,当有野兽来袭时,农夫可以躲进高塔内,然后点燃烽火,这样,黑锤堡上的守卫便可以第一时间得知野兽人来袭的警报,从而派出部队去支援那些身处险境中的农夫。当然,建造高塔的费用必须由黑锤堡支付。一开始,我们总要政策鼓励,不是吗？” Rod spoke. 罗德说到。 „Sounds feasible. However, crops? You know that if the wheat, by North such climate, one year most one ripe. If meets the snowstorm, a farmer all year round practical training possibly has no harvest at all.” “听起来可行。但是,农作物呢？您知道的,如果是小麦,以北境这样的气候,一年最多一熟。如果遇到暴风雪,农民一整年的劳作可能颗粒无收。” On the face of Murros is hanging as before sadly. He stayed for dozens years in this castle, is thoroughly ripe to the operation of Blackhammer Fort. Basically, before Rod takes over Blackhammer Fort, here economy is to then depend upon that mine tunnel, delivers the ore, then sells out the receiving in exchange crops and currency, maintains the wage and grain ration of soldier. In Rod person of father's generation that generation, almost went bankrupt several times. 穆罗斯的脸上依旧挂着忧愁。他在这座城堡待了几十年,对黑锤堡的运作早已熟透了。基本上,在罗德接手黑锤堡之前,这里的经济便是依靠那座矿洞,产出矿石,而后卖掉换取农作物和货币,维持士兵的薪水和口粮。在罗德父辈那一代,有几次差点就破产了。 „I have thought the — — potato. Special product from New World, cold resistant, the drought resisting, the vegetative cycle is not long. Buries in underground, can avoid by Beastman and various strange beast spoils.” “我已经想好了——土豆。来自新大陆的特产,抗寒,抗旱,生长周期也不长。埋在地下,可以避免被野兽人和各种异兽糟蹋。” Rod returns. 罗德回到。
