The merchant fleet goes north following the Scarlet Water River branch, after Silver Light City, drove into the Grand Canal to lead to Kingdom Capital. 商船队顺着赤水河支流北上,经过银光城后,驶入了通向王都的大运河。 Tasa remembers that once on has looked in «Greycastle Annal», 200 years ago here is piece of wasteland. The silver ore that to mine the nearby mine ships back Kingdom Capital, Wimbledon first convenes Stonemason to be able with about ten thousand handyman, the time-consuming 20 years open cutting this to connect Kingdom Capital and canal of silver mine, but the silver mine peripheral gradually has also formed a city, afterward was named as Silver Light City by the late king. 塔萨记得曾在《灰堡编年史》上看过,200年前这里还是一片荒地。为了将附近矿山开采出来的银矿运回王都,温布顿一世召集石匠会和近万杂工,费时20年开凿出这条连接王都和银矿山的运河,而银矿山周边也逐渐形成了一座城市,后来被先王命名为银光城。 However at this time shows, in his present scene is very difficult and 200 years ago wasteland links, canal both banks are the farmland of cover, again, is continually the large expanse of village. This reminded him of Border Town's Kingdom Highway, when that road fixed, perhaps hopeless situation at the foot of the hill becomes the habitation will be also crowded. 不过此时展现在他眼前的景象很难和200年前的荒地联系在一起,运河两岸都是茂密的农田,再远一点,则是连成片的村庄。这让他不禁想起了边陲镇的王国大道,等到那条路修好时,恐怕绝境山脚下也会变得人烟密集吧。 „Heard before you, is the Kingdom Capital person?” A voice of female from behind resounds. “听说你以前就是王都人？”一位女子的声音从身后响起。 Tasa has turned the head, discovered that master Margery of caravan, he nods, „into the royal palace guard, I have lived in the city.” 塔萨转过头,发现正是商队的主人玛格丽,他点点头,“在成为王宫侍卫前,我一直住在内城区。” „How returns to the feeling of former home grounds?” “重返故地的感觉如何？” „To be honest, fortunately,” he said that „, if not the arrangement of your highness, I rather treat in Border Town. Although Kingdom Capital is lively, makes person have the breath impeded feeling.” Regarding floor noble is so, Tasa thinks. “老实说,还好,”他说,“如果不是殿下的安排,我宁愿待在边陲镇。王都虽然繁华,却让人有种呼吸不畅的感觉。”对于底层贵族来说更是如此,塔萨想。 „Right?” Margery smiled, „you to Roland. How many does your highness understand?” “是吗？”玛格丽笑了笑,“你对罗兰.殿下了解多少？” „How?” This issue makes him slightly one cold. “怎么了？”这个问题让他心里微微一凛。 „I thought that he is really an inconceivable person, comments obviously in the Kingdom Capital timely breeze badly, you should also listen much about his hearsay, is in Border Town...... Completely likely is not such that in the rumor said that regardless of the behavior or the idea make the person ascertain airtight,” her paused, „, if Steam engine is only he showed learned and accomplished why can link the soldiers who he trains so to be out of the ordinary?” “我觉得他真是个不可思议的人,明明在王都时风评极差,你应该也听过不少关于他的传闻,可是在边陲镇……完全不像是传言里所说的那样,无论行为还是想法都让人捉摸不透,”她顿了顿,“如果说蒸汽机只是他博学多才的证明,可为什么连他训练出来的战士都如此与众不同？” Tasa looked at eye these to sit First Army soldier-- in deck considered that must hide in the Kingdom Capital nearby activity as far as possible, they have not provided the flintlock, has not worn the unified military uniform, but changed into all kinds of leather armor, carried a mallet, seemed like the convoy guard of caravan. Their major part is first time is far away from Western Region, although quite curious looking around in all directions, discusses spiritedly, but nobody takes off the shoes, or puts down weapon. 塔萨瞄了眼那些坐在甲板上的第一军士兵——考虑到在王都附近活动应当尽可能隐蔽,他们没有配备火枪,也没有穿着统一的军装,而是换成了各式各样的皮甲,身后背着一杆木枪,看起来像是商队的护卫队。他们绝大部分是第一次远离西境,尽管颇为好奇的四处张望,议论纷纷,但没有一个人脱下鞋子,或是放下武器。 Reviews mercenary of caravan, their many people to avoid the sunlight, got inside the cabin, keeps the 34 people on deck to take off the shoes, weapon that will be a hindrance solves to put the one side, lies low in the shade. 反观商队的雇佣兵,他们不少人为了躲避阳光,已经钻进船舱,留在甲板上的34人则脱下鞋子,将碍手的武器解下来放到一旁,平躺在阴凉处。 „I not am quite clear,” Tasa lets go to say reluctantly. It is not he wants to conceal, but indeed does not know-- , since Fourth Prince to Border Town, became with before entirely different, „before probably your highness, has been camouflaging itself.” “我也不大清楚,”塔萨无奈地摊手道。并非他想隐瞒,而是的确不知道——自从四王子到了边陲镇之后就和以前变得大不相同了,“大概殿下以前一直在伪装自己吧。” „Yes...... Like this?” Margery shows neither approval nor disapproval to this answer, she silent moment, suddenly extends the takes action direction front, „looks, that is the Kingdom Capital city wall, we will draw near.” “是……这样吗？”玛格丽对这个答案不置可否,她沉默了片刻,忽然伸出手指向前方,“看,那是王都的城墙,我们快到了。” The field of vision end place presented dim bluish gray colors, the light is the station here, before can feel grand-- this of city wall is Stonemason will be dismissed , the most outstanding work, the thickness is second to none in Greycastle highly, heard that the city wall even leaves leeway the room and channel, can hold about thousand soldiers to rest, thus realizes the non- gap patrol and fast support. 视野尽头处出现了一片朦胧的青灰色,光是站在这里,都能感受到城墙的宏伟——这是石匠会被解散前最杰出的作品,无论是高度还是厚度在灰堡都是首屈一指,听说城墙内部甚至留有房间和通道,可以容纳近千名士兵休息,从而实现无间隔巡逻和快速支援。 When city wall clear presents when Tasa at present, the refugees form also entered his view. 当城墙清晰的呈现在塔萨眼前时,逃民的身影也随之进入了他的视野。 Large quantities of common people gather outside the Kingdom Capital suburb, they have put up the simple shed along the city wall, in the fiery pit before shed braves the white smoke, seems boiling out wheat porridge. Currently speaking, these people have not run out of food, the facial expression is also good. However the Kingdom Capital food relief endlessly will definitely not provide, when noble choose the appropriate labor force, will dispatch troops to drive away these people to leave. 大批平民聚集在王都郊区外,他们沿着城墙搭起了简易的棚子,棚子前的火坑里冒着白烟,似乎正在熬煮麦粥。就目前来看,这些人尚未断粮,气色也还不错。不过王都的救济粮食肯定不会无休止的发放下去,当贵族们挑选完合适的劳动力,就会派兵驱赶这些人离开了。 „How do you plan to do?” „Does the soldier who the Margery curious say/way, sends your highness go to propagandize pull people?” “你打算怎么做？”玛格丽好奇道,“派殿下的士兵前去宣传拉人吗？” „No, such efficiency did not say lowly, moreover is very easy to bring to others' attention,” Tasa shakes the head saying that „wants to handle matters in Kingdom Capital, either bribes the official, either hires Mouse, you should have profound understanding.” “不,那样效率低不说,而且很容易引起别人的注意,”塔萨摇头道,“想要在王都办事,要么买通官员,要么雇佣老鼠,你应该对此深有体会。” „Indeed,” she has smiled, „I want to remind your two, it seems like it is is unnecessary. If then, there is the need in money, although looks for me.” Margery gives his sign, „, so long as reveals this, the store superintendents immediately contact with me. Naturally, below hundred gold royal can draw out depending on it directly.” “的确,”她笑了起来,“我本想提醒你两句,看来是不必要了。那么,如果有金钱上的需要,尽管来找我。”玛格丽递给他一块牌子,“只要亮出这个,商铺管理者就会立刻联系我。当然,百枚以下的金龙可以直接凭它支取。” „Thanks.” Tasa received token-- that is together the scarlet red stone, the whole body is bright, the terminal carves one line has never been seeing the writing. “谢谢。”塔萨接过令牌——那是一块深红色的石头,浑身剔透,末端刻着一行从未见过的文字。 „Does not use politely,” she said with a smile lightly, „these Your Highness money will repay to give me together with the interest together.” “不用客气,”她轻笑道,“这些钱殿下都会连同利息一起偿还给我的。” After arriving in canal dock, Tasa makes the First Army soldier stay in the suburb to await the news, avoids the line of sight of Kingdom Capital patrol leader as far as possible, oneself together enter a city with the caravan. After city gate, he inspection that notes to guard is stricter, has not wanted to make eastern region refugees mix in the city obviously. 抵达运河码头后,塔萨让第一军士兵留在郊外等候消息,尽可能避开王城巡逻队的视线,自己则与商队一同进城。经过城门时,他注意到守卫的检查严格了许多,显然不想让东境的逃民混入城中。 Enters in the city, maps in his eyes first is row of gallows of standing tall and erect. 进入城内,最先映入他眼中的便是一排高耸的绞架。 Above is hanging four both hands tied their hands behind the back females, issues the intermittent odor in the hot sun insolation, this scene makes Tasa frown immediately. 上面吊着四名双手被反绑的女子,在烈日暴晒下发出阵阵恶臭,这场面让塔萨顿时皱起了眉头。 „Timothy hunts down witch in the city wantonly, they are misfortune who caught arrives,” Margery sighed, „said that was inaccurate, some witch were noble plays greasily, happen to let go while this opportunity. Continues to be imprisoned in the unexposed darkroom very much difficultly in the final analysis good, will soon get rid of the pain to be quite good like...... No matter what, hopes that they can obtain to rest.” “提费科在城里大肆搜捕女巫,她们都是被抓到的不幸者,”玛格丽叹了口气,“不过这么说也不准确,有的女巫不过是贵族玩腻了,正好趁此机会脱手。很难说到底是继续被囚禁在不见光的暗室里好,还是像这样早日摆脱痛苦比较好……不管怎么说,希望她们能获得安息。” In Border Town's six months, Tasa realized that witch like the crime of Church propaganda may not, they having the strange ability, does not have what difference with the average man. The female on gallows judges from the figure, smallest possibly is 14 or 15-year-old, this made him feel an oppression, the feeling of that not gasping for breath came back. 在边陲镇的半年时间里,塔萨已经认识到女巫并非像教会宣传的那样罪不可恕,她们除了拥有稀奇古怪的能力外,和常人没有什么区别。绞架上的女子从身形判断,最小的可能才十四五岁,这使他心里感到了一丝憋闷,那种喘不过气的感觉又回来了。 The Kingdom Capital outer city area and six months changed not in a big way, besides to the city gate main road was being the blue stone road surface, other branch roads and alleys were the mud places. The midsummer sunlight causes the ground flood a crack, so long as there is a carriage to pass through, will then raise yellow dust. It is difficult to imagine, the capital city in kingdom, has lost to desolate small town outside Western Region in the municipal construction unexpectedly. 王都外城区和半年前变化不大,除了正对着城门的主道是青石路面外,其他岔路和小巷都是泥巴地。盛夏的阳光使地面泛起条条裂纹,只要有马车经过,便会扬起一阵黄尘。很难想象,王国的都城,竟然在市政建设上输给了西境之外的一个荒僻小镇。 After crossing two streets, caravan one line of go to the market area, Tasa and Margery waves goodbye, the one person alone turns into a alley. 越过两条街道后,商队一行人前往市场区,塔萨与玛格丽挥手告别,孤身拐入一条小巷之中。 His familiar house arrives at „underground trumpeter” tavern entrance, pushes the door to walk into directly. 他熟门熟路地来到“地下号手”酒馆门口,径直推门走入。 „Heh! Here does business in the evening!” Some people shout. “嘿！这里晚上才营业！”有人喊道。 Tasa ignores, before arriving at the bar directly, to is cleaning wine cup robust man whispered earnestly: „Still remembers me?” 塔萨不理不睬,直接走到吧台前,对着埋头擦拭酒杯的壮汉沉声道:“还记得我吗？” „In which stone seam you are jump the grasshopper, hasn't heard the tavern to be open for business in the evening?” He does not put down wine cup patiently, is gloomy face raised head, but the two famous name wines of reorganization furniture waited on also to encircle, „now my several three-- towers and Lady Tasa?” “你是哪个石头缝里蹦出来蚂蚱,没听到酒馆晚上才开张吗？”他不耐烦地放下酒杯,阴沉着脸抬起头,而整理桌椅的两名酒侍也围了过来,“现在我数三声——塔、塔萨大人？” „Is I,” Tasa has spat a saliva toward the one side, „I have a good business to give you.” “是我,”塔萨往一旁吐了口唾沫,“我有桩好生意要交给你们。”
