LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

After the scene visits Steam engine, Roland and Margery returned to the castle office , to continue to discuss the detail of business contract. If this negotiations related to bargaining back and forth, both sides struggle for 1-2 days are the common matters, will therefore be responsible for doing for somebody by Minister of Finance generally, feudal lord only with confession quantity and bottom line then. However the opposite party has decided the price, Roland has saved correspondingly also many times. 现场参观完蒸汽机后,罗兰和玛格丽又回到了城堡办公室,继续洽谈商贸契约的细节。这种谈判如果涉及讨价还价的话,双方争上一两天都是常有的事,所以一般会由财务大臣负责代劳,领主只用交代数量和底线即可。不过对方已经一口敲定了价格,罗兰相应也省下很多功夫。 „I estimated when next arrival one month later, at the appointed time carries the saltpeter single mast sailing ship to arrive along with me three ships together.” The female merchant fast wrote on the parchment, „according to the 90% computations of market price, approximately value 315 gold royal.” “我预计下一次到来时会在一个月之后,届时将有三船满载硝石的单桅帆船随我一同抵达。”女商人在羊皮纸上飞快地写道,“按市价的九成计算,大约值315枚金龙。” „By that time small town almost can produce two Steam engine,” Roland reduces the quantity intentionally, „is also 1000 gold royal, you can make up the price difference with gold royal, can substitute with other commodities.” “到那时小镇差不多能生产两台蒸汽机,”罗兰故意压低数量,“也就是1000枚金龙,你可以用金龙补足差价,也可以用其他商品来替代。” „What cargo do you need?” “您需要什么样的货物？” „Iron, copper, lead and green vitriol,” he said, „is some common minerals. However first three types of I need is not the ore, but smelts the good ingot metal. Moreover, I also need ten sets of crystal glass household utensils, as for having the carving flower, is the canteen or wine cup does not matter, but must be most quality product that Kingdom Capital alchemical workshop produces. If the price surpasses the price difference, I can make up complete/even or deduct from next month of two Steam engine cost.” “铁、铜、铅、绿矾,”他说道,“都是些常见的矿物。不过前三样我需要的不是矿石,而是熔炼好的金属锭。另外,我还需要十套水晶玻璃器皿,至于有没有雕花、是水壶还是酒杯都无所谓,但必须是王都炼金工坊出产的最优质产品。如果价格超出差价的话,我可以补齐或从下一个月的两台蒸汽机费用里扣除。” „Your this was regards your special-purpose peddler me,” Margery said with a smile lightly, „I, although did not have the run mine, actually knew colleague who several specially were engaged in the ore trade. I have not expected, the place of desolate border region can also contain such big opportunity together. Few noble live here, actually must consume massive saltpeter \; Itself for small town that Northern Slope Mine establishes, instead must purchase the mineral outward. This does not conform to my peddler general knowledge simply, Your highness, your territory was too inconceivable.” “您这是把我当成了您的专用行商了啊,”玛格丽轻笑道,“我虽然没有经营矿山,却认识几个专门从事矿石贸易的同行。只是我万万没料到,一块荒僻的边陲之地也能蕴藏这么大的商机。没有几个贵族住在这里,却要消耗大量的硝石\;本身就是为北坡矿山建立的小镇,反而还得向外购买矿物。这简直不符合我的行商常识,殿下,您的领地太不可思议了。” Big characteristics of industrial production massively swallow into the raw material, outward output end product. Roland spreads out the hand, „later small town fine will be more, I think that we can achieve long-term--” 工业化生产的一大特征就是大量吞入原料,向外输出成品。罗兰摊开手,“以后小镇还会要得更多,我想我们可以达成长期——” At this moment, Margery stared in a big way the eye suddenly, shocked was looking at Roland behind, the latter gawked staring, the subconsciousness had turned the head, sees only Lightning that the whole body soaked to paste before the landing window, both hands dug up the glass, whole face startled-- her face whiten, the hair one continuously pastes on the forehead, the water drop kept dropping following hair downward, as if just general that fished from the water. 就在这时,玛格丽忽然瞪大了眼睛,一脸讶异地望着罗兰身后,后者愣了愣,下意识转过头,只见浑身湿透的闪电正贴在落地窗户前,双手扒住玻璃,满脸惊慌——她的脸色苍白,头发一缕缕贴在额头上,水珠顺着发丝不停向下滴落,仿佛刚从水里捞出来的一般。 Roland hurries to set out to turn on the window, after Lightning flies into the room, throws the Roland bosom, the flustered facial expression relaxes immediately, the body one has fainted softly. 罗兰赶紧起身打开窗子,闪电飞入房间后,扑进罗兰怀里,慌张的神情顿时放松下来,身子一软晕了过去。 „Nightingale, hurries to call Nana to come.” He said anxiously. “夜莺,赶紧叫娜娜瓦来。”他焦急地说道。 „Yes.” Empty body side transmits a reply. “是。”空荡荡的身侧传来一声应答。 What's all this about, she in airborne should not meet Evil Beast or Devil, does the opposite party have the ability that can fly? Roland has gotten under the physical exam of Lightning approximately, discovered that does not have the obvious flesh wound, slightly relaxed. 这是怎么回事,她在空中理应不会遇到邪兽或魔鬼,难道对方也拥有可以飞行的能力？罗兰大致检查了下闪电的身体,发现没有明显外伤,才稍稍松了口气。 „Your highness, she...... Is Lightning that you said?” Margery covers mouth, slowly approaches the prince, little girl who sizes up his arms carefully. “殿下,她……就是您说的闪电吗？”玛格丽捂着嘴,慢慢靠近王子,仔细打量他怀里的小姑娘。 Roland at heart thump, damn, how to give to forget her. He shouts toward out of the door high: „Sean!” 罗兰心里咯噔一下,该死,怎么把她给忘记了。他朝门外高喊道:“肖恩！” personal guard walks into the office accordingly. 亲卫应声走入办公室。 „Excuse me, Ms. Margery, can only ask you to treat the last period of time here first,” prince holds Lightning to stand up, „brings to safeguard to a guest room in building in this Kingdom Capital merchant, without my order, can not put her to come out.” “不好意思,玛格丽女士,只能先请你在这儿待上一阵子了,”王子抱着闪电站起身,“把这位王都商人带到一楼的客房里看管起来,没有我的命令,不得放她出来。” „As you bid!” “遵命！” „What? No, Your highness...... Please wait,” she consciousness suddenly, „I and well-meant, let alone she to witch am the Thunder daughter, I will not approach Church--” “什么？不,殿下……请等等,”她忽然意识过来,“我对女巫并没有恶意,更何况她是雷霆的女儿,我不会向教会——” „I provide against contingencies,” the Roland interruption said, „later, I can ask you to confirm.” “我只是以防万一,”罗兰打断道,“晚些时候,我会来找你验证的。” ...... …… „Your highness, she woke up,” Nightingale opens the door to say. “殿下,她醒来了,”夜莺打开房门说道。 Roland nods, enters bedroom with Nightingale. Bed the bucket is still braving the steam, the clothes that soaks hang in the barrel at will. The bedside gathers round one crowd of witch, Wendy sits in the head, combs the hair that the little girl has not been doing completely thoroughly gently. Before on the face did not see blood-color Lightning to have now some ruddily, she by two packs of pillows, the quilt drew slantingly high, only reveals half head very much, the eye stares to look at Roland. 罗兰点点头,跟着夜莺走进卧室。大床边的水桶还在冒着热气,湿透的衣服随意挂在桶边。床边围着一群女巫,温蒂坐在床头,轻轻梳理着小姑娘还未完全干透的头发。之前脸上不见血色的闪电如今已有了些许红润,她斜靠在两叠枕头上,被子拉得很高,只露出半个脑袋,眼睛直盯盯地望着罗兰。 „Is situation what kind of?” “情况怎样？” „Has not been injured, the stupor of after is magic power exhausts, causes,” Nightingale returns saying that „Wendy helps her clean the body, held shortly after the bedding then awoke.” “没有受伤,是魔力耗尽后导致的昏迷,”夜莺回道,“温蒂帮她清洗完身体,抱进被窝后没多久便醒了。” He arrives at the bedside, smiles toward Lightning, „what happened? Let you fly flustered in spite of the rain.” 他走到床边,朝闪电笑笑,“发生什么事了？让你慌慌张张地冒雨飞回来。” „I found ruins,” she mumbled in a low voice, „, but in had Devil.” “我找到遗迹了,”她低声嘟囔道,“但里面有魔鬼。” These words make all person complexions change. 这句话让所有人都脸色一变。 „Did you go in?” Scroll asked. “你进去了？”书卷问。 „No,” Lightning shakes the head, narrated the matter process, „Devil defends in the entrance of basement, some inside people were also calling for help. However I am too really afraid, am considering only running away, has not found the way to save her.” She shrank shrinking toward the quilt in the head, „didn't my this have the qualifications to make explorer?” “没有,”闪电摇摇头,将事情经过讲述了一遍,“魔鬼就守在地下室的门口,里面还有人在呼救。不过我实在太害怕,只顾着逃走,没有想办法去救她。”她把头往被子里缩了缩,“我这样是不是没资格做探险家了？” „No, you do very well,” the Roland comfort said, „outstanding explorer understands the judgment situation, will not violate the danger by the body intentionally, you alone could not save her, escaping was the most correct choice.” “不,你做得很好,”罗兰安慰道,“优秀的探险家懂得判断形势,不会故意以身犯险,你一个人救不了她,逃跑是最正确的选择。” „What in stone tower is witch?” Wendy ponders over saying that „except for witch, nobody can arrive in the Hidden Forest deep place.” “石塔里的是女巫？”温蒂思忖道,“除了女巫,没有人能抵达迷藏森林深处。” „witch will not go to there,” Scroll shakes the head, „that is 450 years ago ruins. If no map to instruct direction, found the stone tower position to be hard in the boundless sea of trees ascends to heaven. Only if......” “女巫也不会去那里,”书卷摇摇头,“那可是450年前的遗迹。如果不是有地图指示方向,在茫茫树海中找到石塔的位置难于登天。除非……” „Only if what?” Roland asked. “除非什么？”罗兰问。 „Only if some people have lived there.” Scroll said slowly. “除非有人一直生活在那里。”书卷缓缓说道。 „You meant them not from kingdom set off, but 450 years ago, has continued the descendant there, was passing the secluded from the world day?” The prince was overruling this guess at heart, lives in the virgin forest, this is any concept! The wild animal of mysteriously appearing and disappearing, various fearful insects and poisons, do not have the stable food source...... Even if white/shell Ye, impossible long-term life in forest. Let alone this world also has the winter of several-month long whirling snow, in addition Evil Beast and Devil run amuck, settles down in Hidden Forest brings about own destruction radically. He looks to Lightning, „ruins does nearby have the trace that the habitation has?” “你的意思是说他们不是从王国出发,而是从450年之前,就一直在那里延续后代,过着与世隔绝的日子？”王子在心里否决了这个猜测,居住在原始森林,这是什么概念！神出鬼没的野兽,各种可怕的昆虫和毒物,没有稳定的食物来源……就算是贝爷,也不可能长期生活在森林中。更何况这个世界还有长达数月漫天大雪的冬天,加上邪兽和魔鬼横行,在迷藏森林里定居根本是自寻死路。他望向闪电,“遗迹附近有人烟存在的痕迹吗？” „No.” The little girls swung the head. “没有。”小姑娘摇了摇脑袋。 „Perhaps map, Soraya said incessantly”, „some people are perhaps same as us, is looking for the Taqila's whereabouts.” “或许地图不止一份,”索罗娅说,“说不定还有人和我们一样,也在寻找塔其拉的下落。” „No matter how, we cannot help them,” Leaf sighed, „except for Lightning, nobody can go to stone tower fast.” “不管如何,我们帮不到她们,”叶子叹了口气,“除了闪电,没人可以快速前往石塔。” „Perhaps real situation wanted us to go to know,” Roland touches the chin, „in brief, can come back safe and sound well. Tonight curriculum stops first for day, everybody rests well. When the opportunity arrived, riddle topic naturally can untie.” “真实情况恐怕要我们去了才知道,”罗兰摸摸下巴,“总之,能安然无恙地回来就好。今天晚上的课程先停一天,大家都好好休息吧。等时机到了,谜题自然会解开。” Leaves the Lightning bedroom, he said toward Nightingale, „following, our also troublesome must be solved.” 离开闪电的卧室,他朝夜莺说道,“接下来,我们还有一个麻烦要解决。” „So long as makes her take down God Punishment Stone,” she said with a smile, „all gave me.” “只要让她取下神罚之石,”她笑道,“一切都交给我吧。”
