I arrive at side Sand, first intimate racket his shoulder, smiling on face is kinder. 我走到山德身边,先亲热拍拍他的肩,脸上的笑更亲切。 Sand and big elder are bewildered, they do not know that I must make anything, I want perhaps to demonstrate to them look. 山德和大长老一脸茫然,他们都不知道我要做什么,我想也许应该示范给他们看。 Therefore I make a move in very near distance suddenly, the right hand withstands the sword hilt of Sand waist, the left hand holds his neck fierce, let his face and my forehead came the hit of close without a gap. 于是我在很近的距离突然出手,右手顶住山德腰间的剑柄,左手抓住他的脖子猛的一拉,让他的脸和我额头来了次紧密无间的撞击。 This movement was completed in a flash, Sand is unable to hit back, only with enough time painful stuffy snort/hum. 这个动作在转瞬间就完成了,山德根本无法还手,只来得及痛苦的闷哼了一声。 Until I grab the hair of Sand to turn inside out to press his body on the table, his first drop of nosebleed the class/flow comes out. 直到我抓着山德的头发把他的身体翻过来摁在桌上,他的第一滴鼻血才流出来。 „The big elder of respect, you looked that...... the neck of this person will be cut?” The dagger of my right hand rocks in the neck of Sand back and forth: „Or should I give a try?” “尊敬的大长老,你看……这个人的脖子会被划破吗？”我右手的匕首在山德的颈部来回晃动:“或者我应该试试看？” The big elder in this time extraordinary tranquility, Sand in as if my hand was worthless. 大长老在这个时候却出奇的平静,仿佛我手中的山德一钱不值。 „Cohen Governor Kheda, I thinks that you are not clear.” He was still sits has not moved: „Our races from that day of birth, unceasing facing was enslaved and destiny of squeezing, your set of threat technique, I have seen too multiple.” “科恩・凯达总督,我想你还不明白。”他仍然是坐着没动:“我们的种族自诞生的那天起,就不断的面对被奴役和压榨的命运,你这套威胁手法,我已经见过太多次了。” „Right?” I am smiling shrugging: „That this person is dying most does not have one of the value.” “是吗？”我微笑着耸耸肩:“那这个人将是死的最没价值的一个。” „Dies for the resistance tyranny, will be the hero who my clansman generation will pay homage to! How also not to have the value?” “为反抗暴政而死,将会是我族人世代膜拜的英雄！又怎么会没有价值？” „You spoke incorrectly, big elder.” I spoke, the dagger in hand has cut the skin of Sand: „He because your stupidity and dies.” “你说错了,大长老。”我说话的时候,手中的匕首已经划破了山德的皮肤:“他将因为你的愚蠢而死。” „My stupidity?” The head of big elder slightly one: „Mentioned to listen.” “我的愚蠢？”大长老的头微微一偏:“说来听听好了。” „Good!” I first gave Sand to use a technique paralysis, then sat to a nearby chair on, during Sand still in I grasped: „I most am good at enlightening others.” “好啊！”我先给山德用了一个麻痹术,然后坐到旁边的一张椅子上,山德依然在我掌握之中:“我最擅长开导别人。” The big elder made one „please” hand signal. 大长老做了一个“请”的手势。 „Such as I said a moment ago, I am Cohen Kheda, is the governor in dark province. No matter you do want, the island that you occupy now...... this point above my fiefdom you should understand!” “就如我刚才所说,我是科恩・凯达,是黑暗行省的总督。不管你们愿不愿意,你们现在所居住的海岛是在我的封地之上……这一点你应该明白吧！” The big elder nods. 大长老点点头。 „Before indicating my true status, I am one smuggle the merchant purely, you can certainly such impolite treats a smuggling merchant. However you cannot treat your governor like this.” I referred to Sand: „This several times want not to mention to the fool who I begin.” “在没有表明我真正的身份前,我就是一个纯粹的走私商人,你当然可以这样无礼的对待一个走私商人。但是你不可以这样对待你的总督。”我指了指山德:“更别提这个几次想对我动手的笨蛋。” „Right?” The big elder said: „But we had not acknowledged that you are our governors.” “是吗？”大长老说:“可我们并没有承认你是我们的总督。” „Didn't acknowledge? I gave you two to choose well. First is your entire clan leaves my dark sea area immediately ; Another is my lead(er) people, and gives me a governor proper respect.” I said: „If above two you cannot achieve, I will give you to be attractive.” “不承认？那我给你两个选择好了。第一个就是你全族立即离开我黑暗的海域;再一个就是做我的领民,并给予我一个总督应有的尊重。”我说:“如果以上两条你都做不到,我就会给你好看。” „Is this blackmails?” “这算不算是讹诈？” „Blackmails? Will some people ship in grain of fleet to blackmail you? Your entire water clan is penniless, what do I blackmail your?” I return to normal my mood: „How to think as you like, was reasonable to you, I have been tired of thoroughly! In addition I do not want...... I to be very busy before the conference table my excellent youth waste, greatly the matter needs to process.” “讹诈？会有人运来一船队的粮食来讹诈你？你整个水族一贫如洗,我讹诈你什么？”我平复一下自己的心情:“随你怎么想好了,跟你们讲道理,我已经烦透了！此外我也不想把我大好的青春浪费在谈判桌前……我很忙,还有大把的事需要处理。” „Depending on this, you could not only have convinced me.” The big elder said lightly: „I think, since this is the negotiations, you should say thin.” “仅凭这点,你还说服不了我。”大长老平淡的说:“不过我想,这既然是谈判,你就应该说得细一点。” Really is a being intractable old bastard! 真是个软硬不吃的老混蛋！ „Basically, if the water clan becomes my lead(er) people, will be the same with my dark province all lead(er) people, enjoys does not starve to death and does not freeze to death, not the enslaved right, enjoys in the rights of way in all dark regions, will walk some people on the road will not snatch you to sell...... also has, I will apportion your land use.” “基本上来说,如果水族成为我的领民,就会和我黑暗行省所有的领民一样,享有不饿死、不冻死、不被奴役的权利,享有在所有黑暗地域的通行权,走在路上也不会有人抢了你去卖……还有,我会分给你们土地使用。” „In other words...... will we have half full food to eat, the frail clothes to put on under your management?” The big elder eyes turn: „Why not to us sating the appetite warm clothes?” “也就是说……我们在你的管理下会有半饱的饭吃、单薄的衣服穿？”大长老眼睛一翻:“为什么不给我们饱饭暖衣呢？” „I, I am not Bright God! I cannot control so many, I only then these most basic thing give you, if you diligently, do not starve to death also get what one deserves!” I stared at his eye saying: „...... I thinks as for the matter that you are worried about, your many should hear a point in my fiefdom the living conditions of resident.” “我呸,我又不是光明神！我管不了那么多,我只有这些最基本的东西给你们,如果你们自己不努力,饿死也是活该！”我盯着他的眼睛说:“至于你所担心的事……我想,你多少应该听说过一点我封地上居民的生活情况。” „Really is a strange fellow.” Big elder: „Yes, I to your situation also know that is so little. If you ensure resident same treatment of my clansman and your fiefdom, I can consider your suggestion actually.” “果然是个奇怪的家伙。”大长老:“是的,我对你的情况也知道那么一点点。如果你保证我族人和你封地上的居民一样的待遇,我倒是可以考虑你的建议。” „Did you also consider? I thought that you almost smile to make noise is right!” I smile: „Do not cheer too soon, these things are not give for nothing.” “你还考虑？我看你是差点笑出声才对吧！”我笑笑说:“不过也别高兴得太早,这些东西也不是白给的。” „Has must lose, where has the season that harvest only does not pay?” The big elder nods: „You said!” “有得必有失,哪有只收获不付出的季节？”大长老点了点头:“你说吧！” „Just like all dark residents, you must accept assigning of all officials, observes my dark law.” I then said: „According to the payment of taxes of crop payment certain proportion, naturally, in the crop not good year's harvest, I will appropriately adjust the proportion of payment of taxes, even like today, transports/fortunes the grain to come to you to fill in the belly.” “和所有的黑暗居民一样,你们得接受各级官员的调派,遵守我黑暗的法律。”我接着说下去:“按收成交纳一定比例的赋税,当然,在收成不好的年景,我会适当调整赋税的比例,甚至像今天这样,运粮来给你们填肚子。” „Sounds good!” The big elder also said: „Whom do you prepare to make manage us?” “听起来不错啊！”大长老也笑着说:“那你准备让谁来管理我们？” „This does not have ready-made?” I referred to still flowing nosebleed somebody: „Although now is stupid, but I believe that in big elder under your guidance, he slowly will be mature.” “这不是有个现成的吗？”我指了指还在流着鼻血的某人:“虽然现在还笨了点,但我相信在大长老你的教导下,他会慢慢成熟起来的。” „Hehe! Has no need to praise me.” The big elder said: „I was old, tells the story.” “呵呵！用不着如此夸奖我。”大长老说:“我老了,讲讲故事还可以。” „Did you comply?” I said: „Is happy point good?” “你答应了吗？”我说:“痛快点好不好？” „By my water clan this situation, I can not promise you now? Let alone Water God has also designated you.” The big elder looked at Sand tender: „Wish Water God to pity, directs the direction that my clansman goes forward.” “以我水族现在这个处境,我能够不答应你吗？更何况水神也已经选定了你。”大长老怜惜的看了看山德:“愿水神怜悯,指引我族人前进的方向。” „With the words that I cooperate, the future of water clan is broad.” Heard him to accept my condition, my stone falls to the ground: „Do not suspend a bitter melon face to look to me, is good?” “和我合作的话,水族的前途是远大的。”听到他答应了我的条件,我心里的石头落了地:“你就不要摆着一张苦瓜脸给我看了,好不好？” The big elder smiles bitterly, in this flash, he seemed to be more senile. 大长老苦笑一下,在这一瞬间,他仿佛衰老了很多。 „Concrete matter, you and Sand discussed! My this did not join in the fun......” he to stand the old bones to suspend to me slightly started: „If you want to listen to the story, I welcome at any time.” “具体的事,你和山德商量吧！我这把老骨头就不来凑热闹了……”他站起来对我微微摆了一下手:“如果你想听故事的话,我随时欢迎。” The big elder walked gradually, this negotiations are completed finally. 大长老缓步走了出去,这场谈判终于完成。 But looks that his thin form disappears in out of the door, I actually inexplicable moves. The big elder is Shui's true leader, but this is a how fragile body! Really does not know that in these difficult years, how he suffers. 但看着他消瘦的身影消失在门外,我心里却有一阵莫名的感动。大长老才是水族真正的领袖,可这是多么瘦弱的一个身体啊！真不知道在那些艰难的岁月里,他是怎么挨过来的。 I relieved technique on the paralysis Sand body, in his opposite sat. 我解除了山德身体上的麻痹术,在他对面坐了下来。 „Words that does not want to come under attack, you give my little darling to sit.” I said to him: „The destiny of this matter about water clan! Now, we chatted the detail......” “不想挨打的话,你就给我乖乖坐好。”我对他说:“这事关于水族的命运！现在,我们来谈谈细节……” „Said!” Sand wiped the bloodstain on face with the hand, has not imagined to clash like me: „Your this devil, I will be defeated one day your.” “说吧！”山德用手擦去了脸上的血迹,并没有像我想像中那样冲过来:“你这魔鬼,总有一天我会打败你的。” „Now does not discuss this.” I pull out a booklet from the bosom, is away from the table to lose to him: „Has a look carefully, this is I wants you to do......” “现在不谈这个。”我从怀里掏出一本小册子,隔着桌子丢给他:“仔细看看,这就是我要你做的……” „This was......” Sand read several pages, the complexion has changed: „You?” “这个是……”山德才翻看了几页,脸色就已经变了:“你？” His response is expected in me, I was spend several days to complete this booklet, book above recorded was my careful choices, can by the knowledge that the water clan accepted. 他的反应在我意料之中,我可是花了好几天的时间才完成这本小册子,册子上面记载的都是我精心挑选的、可以被水族接受的知识。 Naturally, is the military is related, mostly is some ships blueprints. A construction related to powerful navy, how do I dare not to do one's best? 当然,都是与军事有关的,多半是一些舰船图纸。事关一支强大海军的建设,我怎么敢不尽心尽力？ „The first half thing, when can you begin?” I asked him. “前半部分的东西,你什么时候可以开工？”我问他。 „We have many outstanding artisans. If the commodity is prepared.” Sand calculated in the brain: „At this time next year should be able to begin to take shape.” “我们有很多优秀工匠。如果物资齐备的话。”山德在脑子里计算了一下:“明年这个时候应该可以初具规模。” „Good! Following being late begins again.” Hears the Sand affirmative reply, I was happy: „If the plan has the change, I will inform you. In addition, from now on, Sand you were the deputy commissioners of my dark navy regiment!” “好！后面的晚点再开工。”听到山德肯定的回答,我非常高兴:“如果计划有变动,我会通知你。此外,从现在起,山德你就是我黑暗海军军团的副长官了！” „This senior official may poor do.” Sand moaned: „I can die of exhaustion......” “这个长官可不怎么好做。”山德呻吟了一声:“我会累死的……” „I did not lose your time.” “那我就不耽误你的时间了。” Smiles, I go out of the room, I want to listen to the story. 笑了笑,我走出房间,我想去听听故事。 „Right!” Sand was saying behind: „Tonight we have a celebration, you come! On to wharf not far beach.” “对了！”山德在身后说:“今天晚上我们有个庆典,你来吧！就在离码头不远的海滩上。” I go out of the hall, found the big elder under others' direction. 我走出大厅,在别人的指点下找到了大长老。 The big elder sits on a small hillside of surface sea, the law stick by optional place side, he is looking at the fluctuating uncertain sea that concentrates on. 大长老坐在一个面海的小山坡上,法杖被随意的放在身边,他正专注的看着起伏不定的大海。 „Very beautiful scenery.” I sit down in his side: „Listening to the story can give money?” “很美的景色。”我在他身边坐下:“听故事要不要给钱？” „I am the big elder.” He hehe smiles: „Does not hold concurrent jobs to do to recite Poet roaming, therefore the story is free.” “我是大长老。”他呵呵一笑:“并不兼职做吟游诗人,所以故事是免费的。” „Right?” I said: „I have not thought that like this will be simple with your negotiations.” “是吗？”我说:“我没想到和你的谈判会这样简单。” „Why negotiated must be very complex?” “为什么谈判就一定要很复杂？” „But isn't this to your water clan an important matter? If I amn't a trustworthy person?” “可这对你们水族来说不是一件大事吗？如果我不是一个值得信任的人呢？” This is a question in my heart, I never know why the big elder believe me. 这是我心中的一个疑问,我始终不知道大长老为什么会相信我。 „Hehe, as I said that I am the big elder.” He turned the head to visit me saying: „Lives the old age, I would observing others from some small details. What you are surprised is you works as the hostage with Sand, I am not flustered am not angry!” “呵呵,如我所说,我是大长老。”他转过头来看着我说:“活到这把年纪,我总会从一些小细节上来观察别人。你惊讶的是你拿山德当人质,我既不慌张也不生气吧！” I nod. 我点点头。 „At that time in the room had three people, obviously my position is very higher than Sand, is better than to cope Sand, therefore I am you best choice, but you have not actually elected me...... this to see that your hooligan governor several merits come.” “当时房间里有三个人,很明显我的地位比山德高,也比山德好对付,因此我才是你最好的选择,但你却没有选我……这就可以看出你这个流氓总督几个优点来。” „Right?” I said: „My merit is always difficult to look, you told me quickly.” “是吗？”我说:“我的优点可是一向难找,你快告诉我。” „First, you work to understand that grasps the key. You know that which person catches to be the hostage casually, your how I impossible to rescue the people of my entire clan.” “第一,你做事懂得把握关键。你知道随便抓哪一个人来做人质,我都不可能把你这个可以救我全族的人怎么样。” „Hehe ?” “呵呵,还有呢？” „Second, works thoroughly legality. When the opposite party is impenetrably thickheaded knows that with other methods exciting opposite party, but you choose to stress the Sand reason are to need me make the decision!” “第二,做事周密而不墨守陈规。在对方冥顽不灵的时候知道用其他方法来刺激对方,而你选择抓山德的原因是需要我来做决定吧！” „Hehe, excuse me.” “嘿嘿,不好意思。” „Third, is your insight and foresightedness to the matter. Listens to the Sand lecture is you insisted that must see my, naturally the little fellow like you absolutely not......, regardless of you who comes to here to go sightseeing want to do, we have tied up in one, I only hope the matter that you want to do can succeed, helping my clansman pass several days of the day without the disturbance.” “第三,就是你对事情的洞察力与前瞻性。听山德讲是你坚持要来见我的,当然像你这样的小家伙绝对不是来这里观光的……不论你想干什么,我们都已经绑在了一起,我只希望你想做的事可以成功,让我族人过上几天没有风波的日子。” „But.” I said: „These do light/only three points, make you hand over in my hand the destiny of clansman?” “可是。”我说:“光这三点,就让你把族人的命运交到我手中吗？” „Naturally no.” The big elder said: „The entire mainland will soon face the new round war, but my clan really beset with a crisis in rare, as I of big elder possibly does not make the plan early? In fact long ago I noticed you, you in the treatment of alien race to your fiefdom let my heart movement. But we do not believe in the Bright God palace and dark temple, does not know your attitude......” “当然不。”大长老说:“整个大陆即将面对新一轮的战争,而我族又真的是陷入了百年不遇的危机之中,身为大长老的我怎么可能不早做打算？事实上在很久以前我就注意到你了,你对你封地上异族的待遇让我心动。但我们是不信奉光明神殿和黑暗神殿的,又不知道你的态度……” „Stops!” I interrupt his words loudly: „Therefore you designed such a snare to make me drill, making me weep and wail to see you, but also thought greatly cheaply......” “停！”我大声打断他的话:“所以你就设计了这样一个圈套让我来钻,让我哭着喊着来见你,还自以为得了个大便宜……” „You were really greatly cheap.” He said: „Is worth congratulating.” “你真是得了个大便宜。”他笑着说:“值得庆贺。” This old fogy...... , was really sly! 这个老家伙……真、真是太狡猾了！ Very much I am not convinced looks at the big elder. 我很不服气的看着大长老。 „Good, the face, I also do not have the story to say painstakingly to you listens.” The big elder touches my head: „That is saw that after you let the Water God statue smiled, decide to tell you.” “好了好了,不要苦着脸,我还有故事讲给你听。”大长老摸摸我的头:“那是看到你让水神塑像笑了之后才决定告诉你的。” Tidies up the depressed mood, I nod, I really want to know the Water God matter. 收拾起沮丧的心情,我点了点头,我是真的很想知道水神的事。 „Actually, cannot be the story.” The big elder looks at the spray in sea level: „This is the matter that in my clan secret standard records, should be real, was only the age was too remote......” “其实,也不能算是故事。”大长老看着海面上的浪花:“这是我族秘典上记录的事,应该是真实的,只是年代太久远了……” The past of as if all stories were very remote! My static is listening. 似乎所有故事的年代都很久远吧！我静静的听着。 „Long ago, Water God existed, with altogether four gods who she exists, respectively is Water God, Earth God, Wind God and Fire God. Water God designated that our clansmen consecrate her, this also became the origin of my clan name. Meanwhile, Water God not only with us stays together, but also grants me the clans and all water element intimate relations......” “在很久以前,水神就存在了,和她一起存在的一共有四位神,分别是水神、土神、风神和火神。水神选定我们族人来供奉她,这也就成了我族名字的由来。同时,水神不但同我们住在一起,还赐予我族与所有水元素亲密无间的关系……” „Now where is she at?” “那她现在在哪？” „In one time when disaster that affects the entire mainland, Water God goes to my clan. Just before leaving first said ‚the origin of life’ has the danger, who she must help ‚the origin of life’...... know that Water God goes not to come back again. Two temples that also at this time, always lived together in peace and harmony with us actually chased down us suddenly, meanwhile announced that my clan was the evil race!” “在一次波及整个大陆的天灾时,水神离我族而去。临行前说‘生命之源’有危险,她要去帮助‘生命之源’……谁知道水神一去就再也没有回来。也就是在这个时候,一向跟我们和睦相处的两个神殿却突然追杀我们,同时还宣布我族为邪恶种族！” „Evil race?” “邪恶种族？” „Was simultaneously announced for evil race altogether four, by believing in race that the god names, besides us, Monguor, wind clan and hot clan. Both temples did not acknowledge that these four gods had existed, they as if must erase this phase of history vigorously, thus four large clans encountered the brutal slaughter...... my water clan heyday over 1 million population to be killed by them have not remained several, was so many years in resting and building up strength of open sea, only developed less than 200,000 population.” “被同时宣布为邪恶种族的一共有四个,都是以信奉的神命名的种族,除了我们,还有土族、风族和火族。两个神殿都不承认这四位神曾经存在过,他们似乎极力要抹去这一段历史,因而四大族遭到了残酷的屠杀……我水族全盛时期过百万的人口被他们杀得没剩几个,就是这么多年在外海的休养生息,也只发展了不到二十万的人口。” „That afterward?” “那后来呢？” „Afterward, we escaped the open sea, many years of arduous life made us be unable to withstand the load, the people of later generation even also gradually doubted the Water God authenticity. Until we found clone of Water God on this island! The clansmen of later generation know finally Water God has existed, this also why water clan lives to disperse actually the reason of unity.” “后来,我们逃到外海,多年的艰苦生活让我们不堪重负,后世的人甚至也逐渐怀疑水神的真实性。直到我们无意间在这个岛上找到了一个水神的分身！后世的族人终于知道了水神是存在过的,这也是为什么水族居住分散却非常团结的原因。” „You said that the housing is scattered?” I asked: „Also said 200,000 population?” “你说居住分散？”我问:“又说有二十万的人口？” „Naturally.” The big elder smiles: „Basically, in each open sea suits the housing on the island to have our clansmen. Lives on this island is also only part, how otherwise do we evade chasing down of two temples?” “当然。”大长老笑笑说:“基本上,在每一个外海适合居住的海岛上都有我们的族人。居住在这个岛上的也只是一部分,不然我们怎么逃避两个神殿的追杀？” „But why do they want to chase down you?” “可是他们为什么要追杀你们呢？” „We do not know, but you can know.” The big elder stared at me saying: „Since you can let the clone smile of Water God, you can certainly help us find her!” “我们不知道,但是你可以知道。”大长老盯着我说:“既然你可以让水神的分身微笑,你就一定可以帮我们找到她！” „I? Wants me to help you find the person...... not, looks for the god?” “我？要我帮你找人……不,找神？” „Yes!” The big elder said earnestly: „Among you have certainly some relation, you can find her! Our clansmen need her!” “是！”大长老非常认真的说:“你们之间一定有某种联系,你可以找到她的！我们的族人需要她！” „To be honest, my bothersomest this.” I grasped scratching the head: „But, I thought has very familiar feeling with Water God and that's the end.” “老实说,我最烦这个。”我抓了抓头:“不过,我是觉得和水神有很熟悉的感觉就是了。” „That this matter asked to you.” The big elder holds up my hand: „This is very important, only then under the direction of Water God, the water clan can stand erect.” “那这件事就拜托给你了。”大长老拉起我的手:“这很重要,只有在水神的指引下,水族才可以重新屹立。” „Knows......” I nod, smile bitterly: „This is sticky business!” “知道了……”我点点头,苦笑一下:“这又是一件苦差事！” „Hehe! Tonight has the celebration, I must prepare.” The big elder stood saying: „Governor Sir, you also come together!” “呵呵！今晚有庆典,我得去准备了。”大长老站起来说:“总督大人,你也一起来吧！” „I said the big elder, my real status needs first to hide some time......” “我说大长老,我的真实身份是需要先隐藏一段时间的……” Stands to extend big stretching, I follow he to walk. Does not look for Water God! I did not worry when I have not promised you to start to look...... 站起来伸个大大的懒腰,我跟着他走回去。不就找个水神嘛！我可不担心,我又没答应你什么时候开始找……
