„Lieserial,”, whenRolandhandles the alchemistmatter, when returns to the officeonce more, Nightingaleleaves the sound said, „the what450years ago old books, isn't «Elementary Chemistry»youwritesto give the Scrollmemorytextbook? Thatthingsooner or latermustteachcitizen?”
“谎话连篇,”待罗兰处理完炼金师的事,再次回到办公室时,夜莺出声道,“什么450年前的古籍,《初等化学》不是您写出来给书卷记忆的课本吗?那东西迟早都要教给领民的吧?”„Well-meaninglie,”Rolandhandful of the cupdrank tea-- , since Kingdom CapitalmerchantMargeryhas bestowedonepackage of black tea, hecansay goodbyefinallydrinks the day of plain boiled wateroraledaily, „places the prince in royal palace, howpossiblyto know it to welltoalchemy, if present, thatalso came from the guidance of Kingdom Capitalalchemist. Giveshimteaching materialto makehimstudy diligently, teaches the alchemytechniqueto be easier than to acceptme, after all the personmostbelievesforeverisoneself.”
“善意的谎言而已,”罗兰捧起杯子喝了口茶——自从王都商人玛格丽赠送了一包红茶后,他终于可以告别天天喝白开水或麦酒的日子了,“一个身处王宫的王子,怎么可能对炼金知之甚详,如果有,那也是来自王都炼金师的教导。给他一本教材让他自己去钻研,比我传授炼金术更容易接受,人毕竟最相信的永远是自己。”„Oh?”Nightingalebent downsuddenly, gathersin front ofRoland, „thatyourknowledge, whoisteaches?”
“噢?”夜莺突然俯下身子,凑到罗兰面前,“那您的知识,到底是谁传授的呢?”„......”Rolandjustopened the mouth, thenhad held downwith the fingerbyNightingale, „you , if not want to say that do not say. Ido not hope that hearsyouto lie.”
“呃……”罗兰刚张开口,便被夜莺用手指按住了,“您如果不想说的话,就不要说出来。我不希望听到您撒谎。”Heblinked, the opposite partyreceivesto reach behind the back.
他眨了眨眼睛,对方才收回手。„Whileleaving the competitionalsofivedays,”Rolandseized the chanceto change a topic, „under mustmakeCarterbe familiar with the operation of newweaponahead of time.”
“趁着离比试还有五天,”罗兰趁机换了个话题,“得让卡特提前熟悉下新武器的操作了。”„Butyoudid not say, the ammunitionissuehasn't been solved?”
“可是您不是说,弹药问题还未解决吗?”„Pyroxylinonlyaffectsitsactual combatuse. Ifonlytodeal with the competition, fires atoneround to accomplish the spear/gunevery time. After all when competitiondoes not needto consider that transportsbulletandloadsrepeatedly, tenrounds of bulletsenoughobtained the result,”Rolandsaid. Naturally, becauselacks the firingrate/leaddropissue that the pyroxylincauses, was the probability event, this point can only hand overby the face of heavenandCarterdecided.
“火棉只影响它的实战使用。如果仅为了应付比试,每把枪射击一轮还是能够办到的。毕竟比试时无需考虑运输子弹和反复装填,十发子弹已经足够得出结果,”罗兰说道。当然,因为缺乏火棉导致的击发率下降问题,就属于概率事件了,这一点只能交由老天和卡特的脸去决定。*******************
*******************West ofsmall towncity wall.小镇城墙以西。Carterarrives at the beforehandblasting explosivetest explosionfield, accepts the Rolandarrangementtohisnewduty.卡特来到之前的炸药试爆场,接受罗兰布置给他的新任务。„Fightswithwitch?”Chief Knightstartled, „can IwearGod Punishment Stone?”
“与一名女巫战斗?”首席骑士怔了怔,“我能佩戴神罚之石吗?”„Naturally,”Rolandsaid with a smile, „whatyoufacedwasspecialwitch, God Punishment Stonewas invalidtoher, buthermode of operations and warriorwere similar, attackedwith the bigsword.”
“当然可以,”罗兰微笑道,“不过你面对的是一位特殊女巫,神罚之石对她无效,而她的作战方式和武士类似,用大剑进行攻击。”„Yourmeaningis, is sheis skilled inwitch of nearbodywar?”Carterlooked atRolandNightingale.
“您的意思是,她是名精通近身战的女巫?”卡特瞄了眼罗兰身边的夜莺。„Almost, becauseherabilityisto strengthenoneself, thereforestrengthorspeedfarsupernormalperson.”Rolandsaid,„youmustbe mentally prepared, the physical quality of generalmatchfortesting those facing the death penalty of pill was also higher than the several foldcompared withbefore.”
“差不多,不过由于她的能力是强化自身,所以无论是力气还是速度都远超常人。”罗兰说道,“你要做好心理准备,大概对手的身体素质比之前用于测试药丸的死刑犯还高出数倍。”„Is higher than the several fold...... Your highness, youknow that whatthatdoes mean?”Carterstaredin a big way the eye, „was very possibleI, even ifobservedhermovement, the bodyis unable to follow the response. Ifshelooks likesuchformidable, I who reallyyousaidperhapsdo not have the meansto defeather.”
“高出数倍……殿下,您知道那意味着什么吗?”卡特瞪大了眼睛,“很可能我即使观察到了她的动作,身体也无法跟上反应。如果她真像您说的那样强大,我恐怕没办法战胜她。”„Theoretically, yourwinning percentagetrulyiszero,”princehands over an appearanceunusualfirearm, „, buthadthis, the opportunity that youwinwill promote drastically.”
“理论上来说,你的胜率确实为零,”王子递过来一把模样奇特的火器,“但有了这个,你获胜的机会将大幅提升。”„Thisis...... Newflintlock?”Carterboth handsreceived--, becauseitstrigger and barrelpart and Flintlockare quite similar, Knightjudgesthem to belong tosameweapon. Itsphysiqueis not big, graspsin the handactuallyheavy, sends the riflealsoto wanton the heavyseveralpointscompared with the flint. Whatis specially noticeable, besides the grippingplaceis the wood/blockhead, the entirespear's/gun's bodyis madeby the metal, thatsmoothline and corner, as well as the iron greymetallic luster, has the aesthetic sense of not being able to say.
“这是……新火枪?”卡特双手接过——因为它的扳机和枪管部分和燧发枪极为相似,骑士判断它们应该属于同一种武器。它块头不大,握在手中却沉甸甸的,比燧发步枪还要重上几分。特别引人注目的是,除了握把处是木头外,整个枪身都由金属制成,那流畅的线条和转角,以及灰白色的金属光泽,有种说不出来的美感。Carter was almost the flashlikesthisweapon.卡特几乎是一瞬间就喜欢上了这把武器。„Itsnamewas calledrevolver,”Rolandpulled outanothersimilarmodelingweapon, sprangtoward leftjust like the honey-combcommonwheel, „hownowIteachyouto useit.”
“它的名字叫转轮手枪,”罗兰掏出另一把同样造型的武器,向左弹出犹如蜂巢一般的轮子,“现在我教你怎么使用它。”
The Carterquickdiscovery, itsoperating procedureis simpler than the Flintlock, the projectileandgunpowderhave been united as one body, so long as the loadmiddlerunnerthenopens fire. On the runneraltogether hasfiveholes, canloadfiverounds of ammunitionone time, thisprobablyisitis called the reason of revolver. The pistolrearcorresponds the place of runnerto have an eyelet, so long astakes away the trigger, will havesparks/Marsto jumpto shootfrom the hole, andexudes the fricative that cī. Perhapsinsideconceals a flint, hehas thought. Howeverthisbulletdesign was also too exquisite, the pale-yellowouter covering is madeby the copper sheetprobably, the wholepresents the perfectcircular, is all over the body smooth, cannot see the unionslittrace. Before the bullet , after being thinthick, the endmakes the index fingerto be thick or thin, canbe on good termsto gatherwith the cylinderholeextremelyprecisely, does thisdo?卡特很快发现,它的操作方法比燧发枪更简单,弹丸和火药已经连成一体,只要装入中间的转轮即可开火。转轮上共有五个孔洞,可以一次性装填五发弹药,这大概就是它被称为转轮手枪的原因。手枪尾部对应转轮的地方有一处小孔,只要扣动扳机,就会有火星从孔洞里迸射出来,并发出呲呲的摩擦声。或许里面藏了块燧石,他想。不过这子弹设计也太精妙了,浅黄色的外壳大概是由薄铜板制成,整体呈现出完美的圆形,通体光滑,看不到结合缝隙的痕迹。子弹前细后粗,尾部约食指粗细,可以极为精确地与弹巢孔洞相契合,这到底是怎么做出来的?„Thisnotfinished-products, thereforeyoumust the attentionbulletbottomopens the mouth, Rolandmake the firemovementfrequently”, „likeme, muzzleslightlydownward, do not makegunpowderfromopening the mouthto divulge. Fireseach time, mustclean up the bulletnest of runner, gunpowder that avoidsscatteringaccumulatesin the hole.”
“这是未完成品,所以你要时刻注意子弹底部的开口,”罗兰做了个射击动作,“像我这样,枪口稍微向下,不要让火药从开口出泄漏出来。每次射击完毕,都要清理转轮的子弹巢,避免散落的火药积累在孔洞里。”„Notfinished-products?”
“未完成品?”„Yes,”princeshrugs, „alsokey technologies, whensolves, allsmoothwords, youcouldcatch upbefore the competition. When the time comes the bulletbottomopens the mouthwill be sealed up, youdid not needto be worriedto leak the medicineissueagain. Firsttriesto shoot at the target.”
“是啊,”王子耸耸肩,“还有一项关键技术正待解决,一切顺利的话,你或许能在比试前赶上。到时候子弹底部的开口会被封住,你也无需再担心漏药问题了。先来试试打靶吧。”Basesealed upwords, does thatlightbulletinternalgunpowder? Carterthinks,decidedgives upponderingthisseems like the impossibledifficult problem, after all, hedoes not haveyour highnessto be so experiencedlearned and accomplished.
底部被封住的话,那怎么点燃子弹内部的火药?卡特想了想,决定放弃思考这个看似不可能的难题,毕竟,他没有殿下那么见多识广、博学多才。Right, islearned and accomplished. Carteradmirednowfull of admirationtofourHis Highness the Prince, palaceScholar, alchemist masterorastrologer, nobodycaninventsomanystrangethinglikeyour highnessgenerally, moreoverthesethinghaveextremelyhighuse value, notlikesnow powderandmannedkiteand so on invention, can only degenerate into the nobletoy.

NowCarter believes that so long astakes time, mountsGreycastleThroneinevitablyisYour HighnessRoland Wimbledon.
没错,就是博学多才。卡特现在已经对四王子殿下佩服得五体投地,无论是宫廷学士、炼金大师还是占星家,没人能像殿下一般发明出如此多稀奇古怪的玩意,而且这些玩意都有着极高的使用价值,不像雪粉、载人风筝之类的发明,只能沦为贵族的玩具。而殿下发明的蒸汽器已经用于矿山的运矿和抽水作业,火枪和火炮更是击退了邪兽和公爵联军。如今卡特坚信,只要假以时日,登上灰堡王座的必然是罗兰.温布顿殿下。

靶子立在15米外,这个距离的人形靶只有巴掌大小。他按照殿下教导的双手持枪方式,微微侧过身体,让枪管准心对准靶子,扣下扳机。
The spark and fuel gasspoutfrom the runner, the hugesoundshakes the earfreshpain, heas iffelt that somepeoplepushedoneselffiercely, the wrist/skillhave not liftedon own initiativeupwardly. When the gunsmokeclears, the targetseemsperfect.
火花和燃气从转轮两侧喷出,巨大的声响震得耳朵生痛,他仿佛感到有人猛推了自己一把,手腕不自觉地向上抬起。当硝烟散尽,靶子看上去完好无损。„Continue.”Rolandsaid.
“继续。”罗兰说。Cartertook a deep breath, fires the remainingfourbullets, finallydid not haveoneround the target.卡特深吸口气,将剩下四颗子弹发射出去,结果仍没有一发上靶。„This......”CarterlookstoHis Highness the Prince, but the latterseemsanddoes not care.
“这……”卡特望向王子殿下,而后者看上去并不在意。„Pistol, because the barrelis short, firing distanceandprecisionare inferior to the rifle, the undershootis very normal. In additionbulletcaliberclose12millimeters, the recoilis also bigger than the Flintlock.”Hestartedto mention the Carterunreadablewords, „in brief, youpracticeaccording to the method that Isaidwell, before the competition, mustachievefiverounds to hit the target, youhad the opportunityto win. Right...... ammunition casedo not forgetto collect, after theyload, but can also usemanychapters.”
“手枪由于枪管短,射程和精度都不如步枪,脱靶十分正常。加上子弹口径接近12毫米,后坐力也比燧发枪大很多。”他又开始说起了卡特难以理解的话,“总之,你按照我说的方法好好练习吧,在比试之前,必须做到五发都能击中靶子,你才有机会获胜。对了……弹壳别忘记收集起来,它们重新装填后,还能够用上好多回呢。”
