„Your highness, when I pass through the gate wants to ask you,” Hogg revealed the appearance that caught one's breath finally, pot ice water in wooden barrel by him is drunk a none remaining, „in hall the picture of picture...... Perhaps is not the average person can draw? Lifelike degree from the angle of view of airborne bird's eye view earth.” His paused, lowers the sound saying that „this is...... witch work?” “殿下,我进门时就想问您了,”霍格露出一副终于缓过气来的模样,木桶里的一壶冰水被他喝了个精光,“大厅里画的这幅画……恐怕不是一般人能画出来的吧？无论是逼真程度还是从空中俯瞰大地的视角。”他顿了顿,压低声音道,“这是……女巫的作品？” Roland looks to Margery, the latter nodded, „your highness please feel relieved, Hogg is I am acquainted many years of old friend, he is similarly well-meant to witch.” 罗兰望向玛格丽,后者点了点头,“殿下请放心,霍格是我相识多年的老朋友,他对女巫同样没有恶意。” „You guess right, indeed is the witch plan.” Roland two days ago travels by the hot-air balloon after beach nearby goes sightseeing, wants to preserve this grand beautiful scene, in addition the castle reception room decoration is crude, a hanging scroll does not have, he simply made Soraya turn into the giant mural the seat of honor back stone wall. After having the artistic background wall, the hall style has promoted several scales instantaneously. “你猜得没错,的确是女巫绘制的。”罗兰两天前搭乘热气球在海滩附近观光一番后,就想把这一幕壮阔的美景留存下来,加上城堡会客厅装饰简陋,一副挂画都没有,他干脆让索罗娅将主座背后的石墙变成了巨大的壁画。有了艺术背景墙后,大厅格调瞬间提升了几个档次。 „I know,” Hogg sighed, „, although they were propagandized as the Devil lackey, but these all sorts of strange and unusual abilities were really enviable. The average people may have no way to fly like them airborne, draws a fine peerless mural again.” “我就知道,”霍格叹了口气,“虽然她们被宣传为魔鬼的爪牙,但那些千奇百怪的能力着实令人羡慕。普通人可没法像她们那样飞到空中,再画出一幅如此精美绝伦的壁画。” „Before you only said right half a word,” Roland shook the head saying that „average person, even if did not depend upon magic power, can fly, even fly high compared with the eagle, flew quickly compared with the swift.” “你只说对了前半句,”罗兰摇头道,“普通人即使不依靠魔力,也能够飞起来,甚至要比雄鹰飞得更高,比雨燕飞得更快。” „You may be really humorous,” Hogg laughs, „, only if on our many wing, but must become is lighter than the bird.” “您可真幽默,”霍格哈哈大笑起来,“除非我们多上一对翅膀,还要变得比鸟儿更轻。” Margery actually startled, „really?” 玛格丽倒是怔了怔,“真的？” „Naturally,” prince said with a smile, „I can show that looked to you.” “当然,”王子笑道,“我可以证明给你们看。” Let the merchant experience own various inventions, is promotes the relational and mechanism-- of expanded trade channel from the mug to the white liquor is so, as for selling is a different matter. The caravan will stay several days of time in small town in any case, the conventional business negotiation process should be makes merry signs finally again is right. Moreover Anna also in travelling by hot-air balloon travel is interested, happen to can make her leave from the busy work to take a break, it may be said that answers multiple purpose. 让商人见识一下自己的各类发明,也是增进关系和扩大贸易途径的有效方式——从马克杯到白酒都是如此,至于卖不卖得出去是另外一回事。反正商队会在小镇停留数天时间,常规的商贸谈判流程应该是吃喝玩乐最后再签字才对。而且安娜也对搭乘热气球旅行十分感兴趣,正好能让她从繁忙的工作中抽出身来多休息片刻,可谓是一举多得。 Looked out the number to complete the gasification quickly, this navigation Roland simply called unable to ride witch of hot-air balloon other day, Lucia also timidly asked whether to lead the younger sister to look, he also readily agreed. 遥望号很快完成了充气,这一次航行罗兰干脆叫上了上回没能乘坐到热气球的女巫,露西亚还怯生生地问能否带妹妹上去看一看,他也一口答应下来。 When the air/Qi balloon-borne the people are raising slowly, Margery has covered the mouth surprisedly, but Hogg closely grabs the hanging basket edge, does not know that is excited or is being afraid. Bell is too short, cannot see the scenery outside hanging basket, Lucia has to hug her, rides in own shoulder, approaches near the basket cautiously, and urged her do not move heedlessly. Has circled around the hot-air balloon as the Lightning of navigator and succor, once for a while reveals the ugly face toward the bell. 当气球载着众人缓缓升起,玛格丽惊讶地捂住了嘴,而霍格紧紧抓着吊篮边缘,不知道是激动还是在害怕。铃个头太矮,根本看不到吊篮外的风景,露西亚只好将她抱起来,骑在自己肩头,小心翼翼地靠近篮边,并叮嘱她千万不要乱动。作为导航员和救援者的闪电则一直绕着热气球盘旋,时不时朝铃露出鬼脸。 Then, the hot-air balloon once more follows the south side coastline to shake, has completed the journey of airborne sightseeing. 就这样,热气球再次顺着南边海岸线晃悠一圈,完成了空中观光之旅。 ...... …… After returning to the castle, the Hogg both legs were still shivering, he stutters saying that „I have not thought that in the sky downward looked that unexpectedly is so fearful, I thought that I momentarily will fall down probably general.” 回到城堡后,霍格双腿仍在颤抖,他结结巴巴道,“我从没想过,在天空中往下看居然如此可怕,我觉得自己好像随时都会掉下去一般。” „Flew several times to be good,” Roland said with a smile, „the person who the first time both feet left the ground will have such misconception, was just like has never gone to sea the person , will spit on the sea boat of jolting is thin crash-bang.” “多飞几次就好了,”罗兰笑道,“头一次双脚离开地面的人都会产生这样的错觉,就好比从未出海过的人,也会在颠簸的海船上吐得稀里哗啦。” „You said are decidedly so,” the Margery to praise sighed, „the scenery that today sees is really inconceivable, from airborne looks to the sea edge, unexpectedly likely is a deep blue arc.” “您说得一点不错,”玛格丽赞叹道,“今天见到的景色真是不可思议,从空中望向大海边缘,竟像是一条蔚蓝的弧线。” „Your highness, I as if has not spoken incorrectly,” Hogg drank the mouth to ice the white liquor, „average person has indeed flown the day, but this was still the witch merit. If no them, this everybody should unable to fly.” “不过殿下,我似乎也没有说错,”霍格喝了口冰镇白酒,“普通人的确飞上了天,可这仍然是女巫的功劳。如果没有她们的话,这个大家伙应该是飞不起来的。” „No, my old friend,” Roland has not opened the mouth, Margery first said, „you haven't discovered? Miss Anna in release flame. I also specially inquired Lightning, she told me, so long as poured into the steam toward air bag, looked out the number to rise the sky. The flame is not the witch privilege, Your highness, did I say right?” “不,我的老朋友,”罗兰还没开口,玛格丽就抢先说道,“你难道没有发现吗？安娜小姐只是在释放火焰而已。我还特意询问了闪电,她告诉我只要往气囊里灌入热气,遥望号就能自己升上天空。火焰可不是女巫的特权,殿下,我说得对吗？” Worthily in Fjord Marine Commerce that Kingdom Capital stands firm, the power of observation or the power of thought especially are outstanding, Roland nods with a smile, „steam rises, the cold air/Qi sinks, this is also it is called the reason of hot-air balloon.” 不愧是在王都站稳脚跟的峡湾海商,无论是观察力还是思维能力都格外出众,罗兰笑着点点头,“热气上升,冷气下沉,这也是它被称为热气球的原因。” „Only uses ignition basin to be good really?” The Hogg doubts said. “真的只用点个火盆就好？”霍格疑惑道。 „That is not good, because wish makes it float in airborne, must heat up continually, but the lumber itself was very heavy, cannot bring to be too many, must solve this difficult problem with the special method.” “那可不行,因为想要让它浮在空中,就必须持续加热,而木材本身就很沉重,带不了太多,必须用特殊的方法解决这一难题。” „Can you achieve?” Margery asked impatiently. “您能做到吗？”玛格丽迫不及待地问。 „Wú...... Should,” Roland ponder over moment, „is somewhat troublesome.” “唔……应该可以,”罗兰思忖片刻,“就是有些麻烦。” „That was really good,” she meets to say immediately, „I hope can purchase 45 hot-air balloons from your here, did not need too in a big way, only to carry one person then.” “那真是太好了,”她立刻接道,“我希望可以从您这儿购买45个热气球,不用太大,只需搭载一人即可。” „Do you want to put on the ship to use?” Hogg asked. “你想放到船上使用？”霍格问。 „Yeah, the mast cannot elongate infinitely, but hot-air balloon, so long as a hitch string under the hanging basket, making it not flutter with the wind then it will be alright. Had the hot-air balloon, observation has then been able to discover that early the nearby pirate ship, regarding the marine trader, besides the storm and tsunami that is unable to predict that harm biggest was pirate in groups.” “嗯,桅杆不能无限伸长,但热气球可以,只要在吊篮下栓根绳子,让它不随风飘走就行。有了热气球,瞭望手便可以更早发现附近的海盗船,对于海商来说,除了无法预测的风暴和海啸外,危害最大的就是成群结队的海盗了。” „But its construction cost will not be perhaps low,” Roland has been estimating at heart, „I estimated that needs above thousand gold royal.” “但它的造价恐怕不会太低,”罗兰在心里估算了下,“我预计需要千枚金龙以上。” If not draw support from witch to heat up, hot-air balloon must use the gaseous fuel, is easiest to obtain without doubt is the gas. The Greycastle's coal mine area Cold Wind Ridge, is extremely what a pity remote to Border Town, according to the present traffic conditions, almost did not have the means to transport. Changes into the hot air balloon words to be easier to realize, but needs to solve issue-- of gas tank unable to achieve similarly puts the free words sufficiently, does not have the use value. 如果不借助女巫加热,热气球就得采用气体燃料,最容易得到的无疑是煤气。可惜灰堡的煤矿在寒风岭一带,离边陲镇太过遥远,按现在的交通条件,几乎是没办法运过来了。换成氢气球的话更容易实现,但同样需要解决储气罐的问题——做不到充放自如的话,就没有实用价值。 „Each balloon 1000 gold royal, how?” The Margery counter-offer said that „, if you have made this type of thing, I can guarantee that all travels in the caravan of fjord wants to buy 1-2.” “每个气球1000枚金龙,如何？”玛格丽还价道,“假若您真做出了这种东西,我敢保证所有往返于峡湾的商队都想买上一两个。” „This Crescent Moon Bay Caravan has not come together, otherwise they definitely meet a next big order,” Hogg tosses down the white liquor in hand, „I do not need, the hot-air balloon, although looks like very mysterious, but to Silver Light City mine not any use. I only hope that can attain my Steam engine as soon as possible.” “这一次弦月湾商队没有同来,不然他们肯定会下一大笔订单的,”霍格将手中的白酒一饮而尽,“我就不必了,热气球虽然看起来十分神奇,但对银光城的矿山没有任何用处。我只希望能尽快拿到我的蒸汽机。” The price that the opposite party starts out makes Roland delighted, thousand gold royal are he raises premiums after five times in the calculation price, has not thought that the opposite party can accept with pleasure unexpectedly two times in the Steam engine selling price. However thinks carefully is also, the cargo that a sea boat carries has the possibility to continue very much this price, not to mention entire business fleet and along with the ship sailor, so long as can avoid grabbing of pirate, this transaction was still cost-effective to the marine trader. 对方开出的价格让罗兰喜出望外,千枚金龙是他在估算价格上提高五倍后的溢价,没想到对方居然能欣然接受两倍于蒸汽机的售价。不过仔细想想也是,一艘海船所携带的货物很有可能不止这个价钱,更别提整支商贸船队和随船水手了,只要能避开海盗的劫掠,这笔交易对海商来说仍然是划算的。 Moreover, thousand gold royal are not short-lived businesses, the hydrogen or the gas, are the consumables, used up must bring back the small town gasification, this was an additional income...... Naturally, one time buys the words of massive gas storage holder, can consider that discounts or bestows gasification. In this regard, the 4 S shop and two barrels of oil are the examples that he learns from and imitates. 另外,千枚金龙并非一锤子买卖,无论是氢气还是煤气,都属于消耗品,用完了总得拿回小镇充气,这又是一笔额外收入……当然,一次购入大量气罐的话,可以考虑打折或赠送充气次数。在这一点上,4S店和两桶油是他学习与模仿的榜样。 Roland pretentiously hesitant little while, finally nods saying that „finalized.” 罗兰装模作样地犹豫了会儿,最终点头道,“那么成交。”
