„30 million to the projects of over a hundred million golden Shield!” “三千万到上亿金盾的项目！” The eye of Brestein stares perfectly round, as if must highlight from the eye socket, is complementing on the face the thick fiery red beard, seems like very funny, startled sound said: „Renn, are you joking with me?” 布勒斯坦的眼睛瞪得滚圆,仿佛要从眼眶里突出来,映衬着脸上浓密的火红胡须,看起来十分滑稽,惊声道:“雷恩,你在跟我开玩笑吗？” „Yes.” Renn returns said. “是的。”雷恩回道。 The expression of dwarf solidified immediately, probably the flash crashed Abyss from Heaven Realm, had the infinite sense of being lost and lonely at heart. 矮人的表情顿时凝固了,像是一瞬间从天界坠落到了深渊,心里生出无限的失落感。 „I said how over a hundred million projects......” the Brestein mouth may be muttering, sees the Renn complexion faint smile, suddenly the whole body shakes, realized that Renn does not crack a joke. His voice somewhat shivered, an arm that holds Renn, quickly closely examines: „What project? Is Floating City?” “我就说,怎么可能会有上亿的工程……”布勒斯坦嘴里咕哝着,看见雷恩的脸色似笑非笑,突然全身一震,意识到雷恩并不是开玩笑。他连声音都有些颤抖了,一把抓住雷恩的手臂,急忙追问:“什么项目？难道是浮空城？” Except for Floating City, which project he cannot imagine to need to put in so much money. 除了浮空城,他想象不出哪个项目需要投入这么多钱。 But the dwarf will not construct Floating City, most hits to start. 可是矮人不会建浮空城,最多打个下手。 „It is not Floating City.” Renn shakes the head with a smile, „I prepare to construct a completely new big city, completely belongs to my city, in the future the city scale at least needs to hold 1 million residents.” “不是浮空城。”雷恩笑着摇了摇头,“我准备建一座全新的大城市,完全属于我的城市,将来城区规模至少要能容纳一百万居民。” „Doesn't a city of 1 million population sizes need to put in so much money?” Brestein is somewhat puzzled, he is this expert in aspect, figures out the rough cost fast, most not over 20 million golden Shield. “一座百万人口规模的城市不用投入这么多钱吧？”布勒斯坦有些不解,他是这方面的专家,飞快算出大概成本,最多也不会超过两千万金盾。 „Because the position of city is quite special, to.” Renn returns said. “因为城市的位置比较特殊,也离得很远。”雷恩回道。 „Where?” Brestein guessed correctly indistinctly. “在哪里？”布勒斯坦隐约猜到了。 „New World, Shield Island.” “新大陆,盾岛。” The dwarf's first response is like Grandmaster Oroin, the Wizland Floating City previous failure is well-known, thinking Renn must reconstruct Newton City. 矮人的第一反应跟欧罗因大师一样,威泽兰浮空城此前的失败人尽皆知,以为雷恩要重建新乡城。 Renn categorically denied, said own plan briefly. 雷恩断然否认,把自己的计划简要说了一些。 Brestein very earnest is listening, is also calculating at heart. 布勒斯坦很认真的听着,心里也在盘算。 According to the plan of Renn, such big scope of large cities, even if the crudest infrastructure, must invest 2-3 ten million/countless golden Shield, and time is very long, is only the initial period over five years, words that finishes, 20 years of even 30 years insufficient. 按照雷恩的计划,这么大的城市规模,即使只是最简陋的基础设施,也要投入2-3千万金盾,并且工期很长,光是初期就在五年以上,全部完工的话,二十年甚至三十年都不够。 This absolutely is an unprecedented mammoth project, in dwarf history also rarely seen. 这绝对是个前所未有的浩大工程,在矮人历史上也不多见。 Lava Fort stonemason guild all sends out, cannot eat up such big project, certainly must invite the clansman assistance of other dwarven kingdom. 熔岩堡的石匠行会全部出动,都吃不下这么大的项目,肯定要邀请其它矮人王国的族人协助。 Naturally, the return is also astonishing. 当然,回报也非常惊人。 He has cooperated with Renn twice, the wages standard is different, generally agrees the reward according to the project difficulty, constructs the difficulty of city is not actually big, but considering in the New World work of danger, must certainly have the corresponding risk compensation, at least needs to attain 1/3 of invested cost. 他跟雷恩合作过两次,工钱标准不一样,一般是根据工程难度来约定报酬,建城的难度倒是不大,但是考虑到是在危险的新大陆工作,肯定要有相应的风险补偿,至少要拿到投入成本的三分之一。 If according to 30 million golden Shield calculates that is 10 million golden Shield! 如果按三千万金盾来算,那就是一千万金盾！ Even in Third Epoch, the dwarf most magnificent period, Lava Fort stonemason guild has not received the projects of single pen more than ten million golden Shield. 即使在第三纪元,矮人最辉煌的时期,熔岩堡的石匠行会也没有接到过单笔上千万金盾的项目。 Moreover possibly are more. 而且可能更多。 The attraction of golden to dwarf is fatal, no matter the gold, mithril or adamantite, to the hobby of precious metal, flow in the blood of all dwarves. 黄金对矮人的吸引力是致命的,不管是黄金、秘银还是精金,对珍贵金属的嗜好,流淌在所有矮人的血液里。 The breath of Brestein became rapid. 布勒斯坦的呼吸变得急促了。 He very diligently keeps calm, asked: „Renn, can you with obtaining so much money?” 他非常努力的保持冷静,问道:“雷恩,你能拿得出这么多钱？” „Before constructing the city starts, I pay in advance 1 million golden Shield.” Renn is saying lightly, „after the operation, every month first pays the wages regularly, if money has not arrived at the account you to shut down and ensure dwarf-artisan will not have the loss. Concrete reward detail, when you determined that received the project to discuss again.” “建城开始之前,我就预付一百万金盾。”雷恩淡淡说着,“开工之后,每个月定期优先支付工钱,如果钱没到账你们可以停工,保证矮人工匠不会有损失。具体的报酬细节,等你确定接下工程了再谈。” The so sincere condition, making Brestein have no suspicion again. 如此诚意十足的条件,让布勒斯坦再无任何怀疑。 In him, actually has the answer. 在他心里,其实已经有答案了。 If constructs the city on the empire or Old World, Brestein can comply immediately, but must go to crisis-ridden New World, related to the safety of several thousand dwarves, he alone is unable to take responsibility, must obtain the agreement of King of Lava Fort. 如果只是在帝国或是旧大陆上建城,布勒斯坦马上就能答应,但要远赴危机四伏的新大陆,涉及到数千矮人的生命安全,他一个人无法做主,必须得到熔岩堡国王的同意。 Brestein thought deeply about a while, said prudently: „After I must returns to Lava Fort and king discussed that can give you to reply.” 布勒斯坦思索了一会儿,慎重道:“我要回到熔岩堡与国王陛下商议过后,才能给你回复。” „Please as soon as possible.” “请尽快。” Renn has expected this situation, said: „Regardless of you whether receives the project, my plan will launch as scheduled, I most your ten days.” 雷恩早就料到这个情况,说道:“无论你们是否接下工程,我的计划都会如期展开,我最多等你们十天。” The implication, within ten days had not answered, he will look for the constructional force in addition. 言外之意,十天之内没有答复,他就会另找施工队。 Brestein had the sense of urgency at heart immediately. 布勒斯坦心里顿时产生了紧迫感。 The dwarf is the world's best architect and artisan, but does not have Lava Fort dwarven kingdom, „Supreme Mountain” and „Lonely Mountain” and „Mithril Palace” and „Nine Peaks Valley” four kingdoms, in World Mountain Range, between five big kingdoms are not only the brothers clansmen, is the competitor. 矮人是世界上最好的建筑师和工匠,但不是只有熔岩堡一个矮人王国,还有“至高山”、“独峰”、“秘银宫”和“九峰谷”四个王国,都在世界山脉之中,五大王国之间既是兄弟族人,也是竞争对手。 By the Renn ability, relating other dwarven kingdom is not difficult. 以雷恩的能耐,联系到其它矮人王国并不难。 „I return to Lava Fort immediately.” “我马上就回熔岩堡。” Brestein turns around to walk, thought that this 10 million and even the enormous wealth of 30 million golden Shield, did not allow sneaks off from own, must convince the king to agree. 布勒斯坦转身就走,心想这一千万乃至三千万金盾的巨额财富,绝不容许从自己手里溜走,一定要说服国王同意。 Renn gazes after him to step teleportation array, does not attend to including dwarf-artisan that concludes in the school. 雷恩目送他踏上传送阵,连在学校收尾的矮人工匠都不顾了。 Shortly. 不久后。 More than 200 dwarf-artisan finished all work, Renn opened portal for them, via Glamorgan Castle and Diamond Fort, teleportation returned to Lava Fort finally. 两百多个矮人工匠结束了所有工作,雷恩为他们打开了传送门,途经格拉摩根城堡和金刚堡,最后传送回到了熔岩堡。 One team of Ultramarine and two teams of Gunwing Knight start to move into Aix Battle School. 一队极限战士和两队枪翼骑士开始入驻艾克斯战斗学校。 Has hired the good more than 100 school staff, teleportation went to the school, they had the average person also to have transcendent, was responsible for the basic necessities of life of students, all methodical is conducting, only the difference began school. 早已雇佣好的一百多个学校职工,也传送到学校,他们既有普通人也有超凡者,负责学生们的衣食住行,一切都有条不紊的进行着,只差开学了。 „Renn, you come.” “雷恩,你来一趟。” Through nebula ring the teaching tool and home furnishings of school, transporting to Aix Renn, was hearing teacher's pass on message. 正通过星云指环把学校的教学工具、家居用品,一趟趟的搬运到艾克斯的雷恩,听到了老师的传讯。 He uses the badge to open portal, goes directly to the Wizland High Tower top layer. 他用徽章打开传送门,直达威泽兰高塔的顶层。 „Teacher.” “老师。” Renn greeted one, has not actually seen Grandmaster Oroin. 雷恩问候一声,却没有看见欧罗因大师。 Anse Vodas sits on the spacious sofa, referred to opposite position, after Renn wait/etc. next, on his face the light smile restrains, the look is somewhat serious, asks: 安西沃道斯坐在宽大的沙发上,指了指对面的位置,等雷恩等下后,他脸上淡淡的笑容收敛起来,神色有些严肃,问道: „Oroin told me, you have prepared to construct the city in Shield Island?” “欧罗因跟我说,你已经准备在盾岛建城了？” Renn confident nod, „.” 雷恩坦然点头,“是的。” „Will worry?” Anse Vodas sighed, „lesson of Modra also at present, just in the past shortly.” “会不会太着急了一些？”安西沃道斯叹道,“墨德拉的教训还在眼前,刚过去没多久。” Mentioned Speaker Modra, his look dim several points, „, although these years Wizland strength restored, momentum also in peak, but your I was clear, the Wizland overall strength compared with missed initially much, the debt pressure also reduced. You construct the city now, the strength economic aspect, Wizland is unable to give your adequate support.” 提到墨德拉议长,他的眼神黯淡了几分,“虽然这几年威泽兰的实力恢复了一些,声势也在顶峰,但是你我都清楚,威泽兰的整体实力比起当初还是差不少,债务压力也只是减轻了。你现在就建城,无论是战力还是经济方面,威泽兰都无法给你足够的支持。” Because before Renn, had disclosed the idea of constructing the city, therefore Anse Vodas is not surprised. 因为雷恩以前透露过建城的想法,所以安西沃道斯并不惊讶。 He was only has not expected starts quickly. 他只是没有料到这么快就开始了。 „Teacher, most things did not prepare to be done completely, so long as had confidence that should carry out decisively, the earlier the better.” Renn is confident. “老师,大多数事情都不是完全准备好了才能去做,只要有把握就应该果断执行,越早越好。”雷恩对此胸有成竹。 The Anse Vodas vision flashes, „do you have several tenths assurance?” 安西沃道斯目光一闪,“你有几成把握？” „70%.” Renn returns said. “70%。”雷恩回道。 „Such high......” Anse Vodas is surprised, builds up a big city in New World, is not the easy matter. “这么高……”安西沃道斯大感意外,在新大陆建起一座大城市,绝不是容易的事。 He thinks that Renn had 30% to grasp was very high, has not thought that had 70%. 他原以为雷恩有30%把握就很高了,没想到却有70%。 Sees the teacher to think, Renn continues saying: „Teacher, actually two reasons, promoting me to speed up constructing the footsteps of city.” 见老师正在思索,雷恩继续说道:“老师,其实还有两个原因,推动我加快建城的脚步。” Anse Vodas lifted under the eyebrow, hints him to say. 安西沃道斯抬了下眉毛,示意他说出来。 „The first point, developing New World is a huge merit, is the empire opens up territory to develop the earth, particularly in eastern coast, the Abraken area and Shield Island is the geographical qualification best territory, if successfully occupies, has the enormous symbolic significance. This is significant to my similar significance, in the future will campaign for Archon time as the achievements of brightest eye, making the empire congressmen support me, will vote to me.” “第一点,开拓新大陆是一件巨大的功绩,为帝国开疆拓土,尤其是在东海岸,艾伯拉肯地区和盾岛是地理条件最好的领地,如果成功占据,具有极大的象征意义。这对我个人同样意义重大,将来竞选执政官的时候作为最亮眼的政绩,让帝国议员拥护我,给我投票。” „Ganeus term also 13 years, therefore I must in 13 years, construct Gotham City, and reaches certain scale, this convincing.” “格涅乌斯的任期还有十三年,所以我必须在13年内,把哥谭城建起来,并达到一定的规模,这样才有说服力。” Renn reveals own true idea to others for the first time. 雷恩第一次向别人吐露自己的真实想法。 Anse Vodas selected slowly, he is supports Renn to campaign for empire Archon, if firmly Renn said, successfully constructs the city in Shield Island is the best campaign boost. 安西沃道斯缓缓点了下头,他是支持雷恩竞选帝国执政官的,确如雷恩所说,成功在盾岛建城是最好的竞选助力。 Opens up territory to develop the earth and expanded territory. 开疆拓土、扩大领地。 Empire congressman many are the aristocrat or the feudal lord, to them, has not compared this tempting. 帝国议员多数是贵族或领主,对他们来说,没有比这更具有诱惑力了。 „Second.” The Renn expression was more dignified, „I crossed Icefield Karnod some time ago, discovered that the Calamity Legion undead army quantity increases, even if in being far away from ‚Icecrown Fortress’ the border district, undead tomb is still increasing, their strengths are getting stronger and stronger......” “第二点。”雷恩的表情凝重了一些,“我不久前横穿卡诺德冰原,发现天灾军团的亡灵大军数量大增,即使在远离‘冰冠要塞’的边缘地区,亡灵墓穴也在增加,它们的实力越来越强……” The Anse Vodas complexion changes, „Deathlord obtained Necronomicon.” 安西沃道斯脸色微变,“死亡领主得到了死灵之书。” „I also guessed.” Renn nods. “我也是这么猜测。”雷恩点头。 Initially, hid divine tool Necronomicon in Wizland High Tower is robbed by Lich Sazastan, the Sazastan strength was as good as Deathlord, even. 当初,藏在威泽兰高塔中的神器死灵之书是被巫妖撒扎斯坦抢走的,撒扎斯坦的实力不亚于死亡领主,甚至更强一些。 However no one has expected, Necronomicon falls into the hand of Deathlord Osaz finally. 然而谁也没料到,死灵之书最后落入死亡领主厄萨兹的手里。 The Saint Soul Lich individual strength is perhaps stronger. 圣魂巫妖的个人实力也许更强。 However, Deathlord is controlling in the world all Death Knight, is leading huge quantity of Calamity Legion, is good at the large-scale war with slaughtering, can display the Necronomicon terrifying prestige energy. 但是,死亡领主控制着世界上所有的死亡骑士,率领着数量庞大的天灾军团,更擅长大规模的战争与杀戮,能够发挥出死灵之书的恐怖威能。 This to entire Allanus is a bad news. 这对整个艾伦厄斯来说都是一个坏消息。 „Deathlord obtained the divine tool, can continuous summoned undead army from Abyss Netherworld, each day, Calamity Legion strength.” “死亡领主得到了神器,可以源源不断的从深渊冥界召唤亡灵大军,每过一天,天灾军团的实力就更强一点。” Renn complexion heavy saying: „Netif's devilman Eternal God's Chosen Ekang, he also sped up the step of conquering the entire clan, no one has been able to keep off.” 雷恩脸色沉重的说道:“还有涅提弗魔人的永世神选艾克昂,他也加快了征服全族的步伐,已经无人能挡。” „Time drags more disadvantageous to us for a long time.” “时间拖得越久就对我们越不利。” „Therefore, we must strike a nail on New World, diverts these two Abyss influences.” “所以,我们必须在新大陆上敲进一枚钉子,牵制这两个深渊势力。” „These two big influences are not the monolithic bloc, Shield Island happen to Icefield Karnod and eastern part plain intersection point, backs on Falling Star Ocean, without extra worries. We want to be able in the Shield Island coming to a stop foot root, is equivalent inserts their slits, like a sharp sword that withstands the back, making them not dare to act rashly.” “这两大势力并非铁板一块,盾岛正好在卡诺德冰原和东部平原的交界处,又背靠坠星洋,没有后顾之忧。我们只要能在盾岛站稳脚根,就相当于插入他们的缝隙,如同一把顶住后背的利剑,让他们不敢轻举妄动。” After Renn said that looks at the response of Anse Vodas. 雷恩说完之后,看着安西沃道斯的反应。 Anse Vodas hesitates long time, somewhat hesitates, shakes the head saying: „Your set off is very good. But has to think the risk, by strength of the city, can resist besieging of two big Abyss influences?” 安西沃道斯沉吟良久,却还是有些犹豫,摇头道:“你的出发点很好。可是有没有想过风险,以一城之力,能否抵挡两大深渊势力的围攻？” „Now does not attempt, later will be only more difficult.” “现在不去尝试,以后只会更难。” Renn firm returning said. 雷恩坚定的回道。 He saw the thoughts of teacher somewhat to vacillate, therefore made persistent efforts, said in a soft voice: „Teacher, Gotham City is will fish Newton to float the spatial plateau best bait, has not inflated while the Calamity Legion strength before being hard to contend, this is we for the only opportunity of Wizland wizard revenge.” 他见老师的心思有些动摇了,于是再接再厉,轻声道:“老师,哥谭城将是钓出新乡浮空塬最好诱饵,趁天灾军团的实力还没膨胀到难以抗衡之前,这将是我们为威泽兰巫师复仇的唯一机会。” Anse Vodas changes countenance, this reason touched him finally. 安西沃道斯不禁动容,这个理由终于打动了他。 „Good!” “好！” „I will fully support you to construct the city in Shield Island.” Anse Vodas sets out saying: „Economically, I am unable to support. But I will permit Wizland wizard in the name of individual, goes to Shield Island, helping you construct the city, but you must pay the reward.” “我会全力支持你在盾岛建城。”安西沃道斯起身道:“在经济上,我无法给予支持。但我会允许威泽兰巫师以个人的名义,前往盾岛,帮助你建造城市,不过你要支付报酬。” „Many thanks the teacher, money is not the issue.” On the Renn face shows the smile. “多谢老师,钱不是问题。”雷恩脸上露出笑容。 Has the participation of Wizland wizard, built up the Gotham assurance to be bigger, oneself held the Wizland banner frankly and uprightly, attracted more potential allies and investments, New World transcendent. 有威泽兰巫师的参与,建起哥谭的把握就更大了,自己光明正大的打出威泽兰的旗号,吸引更多潜在的盟友和投资,还有新大陆的超凡者。 „Pitifully......” “可惜……” Anse Vodas shakes the head, the regret said: „What you must construct is a own city, otherwise I in the Supreme Council proposal, making the empire official allocation, set out the regiment, constructs Gotham by the strength of whole nation, is good to all parties.” 安西沃道斯摇了摇头,遗憾道:“你要建的是一座属于自己的城市,否则我就在至高议会提案,让帝国官方拨款、出动军团,以举国之力建设哥谭,对各方都有好处。” „Ok.” Renn decisive rejection. “还是算了。”雷恩果断拒绝。 He has the selfishness, Gotham City can only be own private territory, must have the absolute control. Once the empire official meddle, then the nature changed, even the achievements will also share benefit. 他是有私心的,哥谭城只能是自己的私人领地,必须拥有绝对的控制权。一旦帝国官方插手,那么性质就变了,连政绩也会被人分润。 Anse Vodas naturally also understands these, but makes the probe slightly, saw the Renn attitude to give up firmly. 安西沃道斯自然也懂得这些,只是稍做试探,见雷恩态度坚决就作罢了。 He wielded starting. 他挥了下手。 Oroin came from void, looks at Renn to say with a smile: „Since Anse decides to support, I also had nothing hesitant.” 欧罗因从虚空中现身,看着雷恩笑道:“既然安西决定支持,那我也没什么犹豫了。” „Grandmaster!” “大师！” Renn first is one startled, oneself unexpectedly have not detected the Grandmaster Oroin hiding nearby. 雷恩先是一惊,自己竟然没有察觉到欧罗因大师藏身附近。 Immediately in the heart is overjoyed. 随即心中大喜过望。 Originally Grandmaster Oroin is listening to itself and teacher's conversation, he previously agreed that but must according to with the face-to-face talk result decision support of teacher. 原来欧罗因大师在听自己和老师的交谈,他此前就同意了,但要根据和老师的面谈结果决定支持力度。 Now looks like, Grandmaster Oroin will fully support itself! 现在看来,欧罗因大师将会全力支持自己！ Two 30th rank above Saint Soul wizard, promised Elder Titan that acts, had these three, strength of Gotham City in top strength, has been enough with Calamity Legion and Deadknot Seal head confrontation, even slightly wins partly plans. 两位三十级以上的圣魂巫师,还有许诺出手的泰坦长老,有了这三位,哥谭城在顶尖战力上的实力,已经足以跟天灾军团和死结符印正面交锋,甚至略胜半筹。 Above saint level top strength, this is the matter that Renn most is worried about, now can feel relieved. 圣阶以上的顶尖战力,这是雷恩最担心的事情,现在可以放心了。 saint level below transcendent legion, he has the absolute confidence. 圣阶以下的超凡军团,他拥有绝对的信心。 In addition the deeper factors, Grandmaster Oroin and teacher common onset and retreat, was equal to indicating own standpoint, he had gone to Modo faction! 另外还有一层更深的因素,欧罗因大师与老师共同进退,等于表明了自己的立场,他已经投向了摩都派！ In this case, Modo faction had six tickets in Supreme Council! 这样的话,摩都派在至高议会中就拥有了六票！ Although only has half, was unable completely to control the parliament, but according to the majority vote principle, any proposal has not undergone the agreement of Modo faction unable to pass forever. 虽然只有一半,还不能完全控制议会,但是按照多数票原则,任何提案没有经过摩都派的同意就永远无法通过。 Even Nesser Faction and Balance Faction join up, still only has six tickets. 就算耐瑟派和平衡派联合起来,也只有六票。 Only misses a ticket, Modo faction can control Supreme Council thoroughly, then seizes the empire power! 只差一票,摩都派就能彻底掌控至高议会,进而攫取帝国大权！ Renn thought, must make Reislin not need to rigidly adhere to „time stop”, chooses three quite simple ninth circle magic spell , to promote Archmage to enter Supreme Council as soon as possible, forms seven tickets compared with the patterns of six tickets, makes Modo faction have the overwhelming superiority directly? 雷恩不禁心想,要不要让雷斯林不必拘泥于“时间停止”,选择三个较为简单的九环法术,尽快晋升大法师进入至高议会,形成七票比六票的格局,直接让摩都派拥有绝对优势？
