„ThisprobablywasIsawyouto liemostoneday, after”Taylorleft, Nightingalecameto sayfrom the dense fog.
“这大概是我见过你撒谎最多的一天了,”泰罗离开后,夜莺从迷雾中现身说道。„Wholets the futureisChurch'sHigh Priest,”Rolandlets go, „what kind, candistinguishopposite partylie?”
“谁让来者是教会的大祭司呢,”罗兰摊手,“怎么样,能分辨对方的谎言吗?”„Cannot, hisperipheralscenebyGod Punishment Stoneabsorb, Ionlybe ableto seeonegroup of dark.”
“不能,他周边的景象被神罚之石吞没了,我只能看到一团黑暗。”What a pitycannottreatlikenobleHigh Priest, Rolandthinksregrettably. Heplacesonthattwomeatballs the table, „you said that reallythisthingsometheysaidsuchmysterious?”
可惜不能把大祭司像贵族那样对待,罗兰遗憾地想。他将那两颗丸子放在桌上,“你说,这东西真有他们讲的那样神奇?”Slows down the griefwords, the morphinecanachieve, as forletting the soldierchangeefficientgreatlyinfinite, soundslikelyis the effect of adrenalin, is the issueto withdrawthesetwomaterialsmakes the pill?

减缓伤痛的话,吗啡可以做到,至于让士兵变得力大无穷,听起来像是肾上腺激素的效果,问题是提取这两种物质做成药丸?教会有这技术水平早就应该征服世界了。Wait/Etc....... Rolandhas thoughtsuddenly a possibility, canbe relatedwithmagic power?
等等……罗兰忽然想到了一种可能,会不会是跟魔力有关?„Can youseeflowing of magic power?”HelookstoNightingale, „onthesetwomeatballshasmagic powerto exist?”
“你能看到魔力的流动吧?”他望向夜莺,“这两颗丸子上有魔力存在吗?”Nightingalecarefullyobserved the meeting, „cannot seemagic power, but, ita littlelooks likeGod Punishment Stone.”夜莺仔细观察了会,“看不到魔力,不过,它有点像神罚之石。”„God Punishment Stone?”Rolandis startled.
“神罚之石?”罗兰怔住。„Yeah,”shenods, „youhave also looked at the world under dense fog, only thenblackandwhitetwocolors, the darkness that butthattypeblackformswithGod Punishment Stoneis different, the latteris more like a cavity, swallows into which the surroundingworld. Ido not know how shoulddescribethatfeeling......”Nightingalehesitant, „inholejet blackpiece, ratherinanythingdoes not have.”
“嗯,”她点点头,“你也看过迷雾下的世界,只有黑与白两色,但那种黑和神罚之石形成的黑暗不同,后者更像是一个空洞,把周围的世界吞入其中。我不知道该怎样形容那种感觉……”夜莺犹豫了下,“与其说洞里漆黑一片,倒不如说里面什么都没有。”„Nihility?”
“虚无?”„Right, is the nihility,”shenods saying that „onthesetwomeatballshas the trace of nihilitysimilarly, is onlyextremelyslight, and...... It is not the circularcavity, reversed imageis the blackfilament that oneflowssuccessively.”
“没错,就是虚无,”她点头道,“这两个丸子上同样有着虚无的痕迹,只是极为细微,而且……也非圆形的空洞,倒像是一节节流淌的黑色细丝。”„Can thesenihilitiesaffectyourability?”
“这些虚无能影响你的能力吗?”Nightingalegrasps the meatball, launches the dense fog, has drawn quickly back, „as if no anythingto affect.”夜莺抓起丸子,展开迷雾,很快又退了出来,“似乎没什么影响。”„It seems like needs to askthose facing the death penaltyto tryto eat upthesetwopillsto try the effect,”Rolandwrapscautiously the meatballwith the paper, holds into the bosom.
“看来有必要找个死刑犯来试吃下这两颗药丸试试效果,”罗兰用纸将丸子小心翼翼包起,揣入怀中。„Has not thought that Churchalsosuchfavorsyou,”Nightingalesitsreturns toside the prince, someelegantsay/way.
“没想到教会也这么看好你,”夜莺坐回到王子身边,有些郁郁道。„IfHigh Priesthas not wornGod Punishment Stone, Iwillmake a bettento havenineam the lie.”Rolandcurls the lip, „the most importantpointis, theydoaskedwiththem, was inconsistentradically.”
“如果大祭司没有戴神罚之石,我敢打赌十句有九句是谎话。”罗兰撇撇嘴,“最重要的一点就是,他们所做的和他们所求的,根本对不上号。”„Why?”
“为什么?”„Has a look atthemto want: Morechurches, morefollower and princeorKing who byoneselfis supported, propaganda that henceforth the solidmonarchial powerGodgives. A stablecountry, favorsthemdeveloping the follower, develops the influence. Otherwiseyear after yearunder the chaos caused by war, the church and monasterywill also degenerate into the refugeeandnoblerobbinggoal.”
“看看他们想要的:更多的教堂、更多的信徒、一个由自己扶持起来的王子或国王,从此坐实君权神授的宣传。一个稳定的国家,更利于他们开拓信徒,发展势力。不然年年战乱之下,教堂和修道院也会沦为难民和贵族的抢劫目标。”„But are theynotjustsettle onyouto be ablefor the peopleto bring the calm and steadylife?”
“可他们不正是看中你能为人民带来安稳生活吗?”„It is not true,”Rolandshakes the head, „stems from the unificationorbalancedstably, even if the kingmakes merrydaily, the people in unifiedstatealsocompared withbeing in the refugee in flames of warcrosswell. ThereforetheysupportSecond Princenot to be strange, supportThird Princessnot to be strange, ranto supportmeto feel strange--especiallywhenGarciawon total victories.”
“并非如此,”罗兰摇摇头,“稳定源于统一或均衡,哪怕君王天天吃喝玩乐,统一国度的人民也比处于战火中的难民过得更好。所以他们扶持二王子不奇怪,扶持三王女不奇怪,跑来扶持我就太奇怪了——特别是在嘉西亚大获全胜的时候。”At this timeifChurchfullysupportedGarcia, perhapsareaKingdom Capital and east linesupport less than a halfyearto be swallowedbyherone. The Kingdom of Greycastle70%landswill belong at the appointed time to the hand of Queen of Clear Water, Rolandthink, the pressure that oneselffaceconsiderablywill also increase.

这个时候若教会全力支持嘉西亚,恐怕王都及东线一带撑不到半年就会被她一口吞下。届时灰堡王国70的土地都将归于碧水女王之手,罗兰想,自己面临的压力也将大大增加。不去帮助强的,反而选择目前看起来最为弱小的自己,看起来教会这个决定对自己有利。可假设自己接受他们支持的话,灰堡两王之争的局面会变得更加混乱,上演异界版三国的直接后果就是使得人口大幅锐减,财富快速流失,战火蔓延至全国,统一日期一拖再拖。Whatadvantage does thishavetoChurch? Let aloneexpanded the follower, onlyfeared that constructsis opened a none remaininginregionalchurches.
这对教会有什么好处?别说扩充信徒了,只怕建在各地的教堂都会被拆个精光。„Does not know the idea of yournoble, alwayscurvedcircles,”Nightingalesighed.
“不懂你们贵族的想法,总是弯弯绕绕,”夜莺叹了口气。„Yeah,”Rolandshouldsaywith a smile, „besidesme.”
“嗯,”罗兰笑着应道,“除了我之外。”„......”witchnarrowseye, stared the princefor a long time, „strange, whythese wordsalsoreal?”
“……”女巫眯起眼睛,偏头瞪了王子好久,“奇怪,为什么这句话也是真的?”Threedayslater, Rolandhas evacuated the castle and strongholdlibraryfinally, ridesH.M.S. Little Townto set off the homeward journeywell satisfied.
三天之后,罗兰终于搬空了城堡和要塞图书馆,心满意足地乘坐小镇号踏上归途。
When followingScarlet Water RiverapproachesBorder Town, the scene of riverboth bankschanged the appearance, the townoppositeby the open area that inAnnaburns, manypeopleare bustling about--to look at the appearance, theyshouldfirstbe luckyto the small townserf. ButapproachesImpassable Mountain Rangethis side, has put upmanysimplewooden sheds, in the wooden shedsomepeoplemovefaintly, Rolandguessed the family members of thesepersonserfs.
顺着赤水河靠近边陲镇时,河两岸的景象已变了模样,镇子对面被安娜烧出来的空地上,许多人正在忙碌——看打扮,他们应该就是先行运到小镇的农奴。而靠近绝境山脉的这一边,已搭起了许多个简易木棚,木棚里隐隐有人活动,罗兰猜测那些人正是农奴的家属。Theseperson of generationstied uponland, the child who have is also a serf, becausecannot see the hope, most peopleare living the numblife, trendtheirpractical trainingis notearnestly seeking of the heart, butis the leather whipandcable/search in Taoslave-ownerhand. Lowproduction efficiencysimplyisto the tremendous waste of manpowernatural resource.
这些人世代被绑在土地上,生下来的孩子也是农奴,由于看不到希望,大部分人都过着麻木的生活,趋势他们劳作的不是发自内心的渴求,而是奴隶主手中的皮鞭和索套。低下的生产效率简直是对人力资源的极大浪费。Without a doubt, slaveryis the enemy of industrial production, belongssystem that musteliminate. ButRolandplandoes not wieldmakesthemturn intofreemencompletely, butprovides a channel, lettingthemto see that the promotionisfreemenhope--, because the mastershows the kindness of heartto make the slavebe separated fromslavegreatlyto have the precedentto follow, even ifthiscompromiseprocedurewill pass onnot to producetooin a big wayaffects, mostmadeothernoblethinkoneselfwere an one who keeps on good terms with everybody.
毫无疑问,奴隶制是工业化生产的敌人,属于必须废除的制度。但罗兰也不打算手一挥就让他们全部变成自由民,而是提供一个渠道,让他们能看到晋升为自由民的希望——因为主人大发善心让奴隶脱离奴籍是有先例可循的,这种折中做法即使传出去了也不会产生太大影响,最多让其他贵族觉得自己不过是个滥好人而已。When the conditionswill be ripein the future, hecomprehensivelycarries out the wasteslavelawagain, the resistancealsoonsmallmany.
等到未来时机成熟时,他再全面推行废奴法令,阻力也会小上很多。docknearbyhas been filled with the sailing ship, obviouslythissmalldock was unable to bearsoserioustransportationpressure. Is goodis shallowbecause of the H.M.S.

After the groupreturn to the castle, hecannot give a thought to the rest, returning to the officethenimmediatelyto callBarov, makinghimreportto accept the commoditysituation.
一行人回到城堡后,他顾不上休息,回到办公室便立刻叫来了巴罗夫,让他汇报接受物资的情况。ButAssistant Ministeralsoearlyis prepared, extractsonevolume of parchmentfrom the pocket, spreads outon the bigwooden table.
而大臣助理也早有准备,从兜里抽出一卷羊皮纸,摊开在大木桌上。„Your highness, for several daysyoushipped back the thing of castleto be possiblereallyto scareme,”words, although said that pleating that onhisfaceoverflowedactuallybetrayedhismood, „12apprenticestossed aboutonein the evening, have countedvarioustypemoney, amounted to more than 14,000gold royal!

“殿下,这些天您运回城堡的东西可真是吓坏我了,”话虽这么说,他脸上溢出的褶子却出卖了他的心情,“12位学徒折腾了一晚上,才把各式钱币统计出来,总计14000余枚金龙!殿下,这可相当于普通城镇一年的收入啊!”PerhapsDukesavedthesegold royalto spend for more than20years, Rolandto think,came from plundering, plundering and the exploitationWestern Regionpeople. Oneselfmustturn into the grain, steel and machinethemas soon as possible. „Thesegem, jewelryandhandicraft?”公爵积攒这些金龙恐怕花了不止20年,罗兰想,来自于对西境人民的搜刮、掠夺和剥削。自己则要尽快把它们变成粮食、钢铁和机器。“那些宝石、首饰和工艺品呢?”„Has not convertedwith enough time, butconservative estimatealsointen thousandgold royalabout, ifdelivers toKingdom Capitalto auction, the pricewill be higher. Nowtheydepositinyourcastlebasement,”Barovpaused, „, was then usedto store up the grain the roomnot to be then insufficient, Isuggested that youexpand the castlearea, the cappingwarehousestore upothercommodities.”
“还没来得及折算,不过保守估计也在一万金龙左右,如果送到王都去拍卖,价格会更高一些。现在它们都存放在您的城堡地下室里,”巴罗夫顿了顿,“不过如此一来,原本用于储存粮食的房间便不够用了,我建议您扩建城堡区,加盖仓库来储存其他物资。”
