In the Greycastleroyal palace, Timothyis grasping the scepter, is looking atstagenextfaceself-satisfiedchiefalchemistRayleigh Kenneth.灰堡王宫中,提费科握着权杖,望着台下一脸得意的首席炼金师瑞利.切尼斯。„alchemyformula that defectorPohlcarries off, did youtake shape?”
“叛逃者波尔所带走的炼金配方,你们有头绪了?”„Right, Esteemed Your Majesty, thisisnewestsnow powder that Alchemy Associationdevelops, pleaseletmedemonstrateforyou.”Rayleighbowsto say.
“没错,尊敬的陛下,这就是炼金协会研制出的最新雪粉,请让我为您演示一遍。”瑞利躬身道。
After obtainingnew King agreed that hebackwardbeckons, immediatelytwodiscipleshold a leather bagto walk uprespectively. HespreadstwoWhite Paperon the place, falls above snow powder in leather bag, anduniformbecomestwofine laces. Andis the iron greytogether, in additiontogetheris much deeper, closegray-black.
得到新王首肯后,他向后招了招手,立刻有两名弟子各捧着一个皮囊走上前来。他在地上铺好两张白纸,将皮囊中的雪粉倾倒其上,并匀成两道细线。其中一道呈灰白色,另一道则要深得多,接近灰黑色。„Your Majestypleaselook, thistint, was used insnow powder of celebration, butdeep, forlatestquick burningsnow powder.”Rayleightakes out the flint, the powder on ignitionpaper, sees onlytintedsnow powderto burnslowly, andemits the billowingthick smoke, butdeepburnings outon the totalincounting breaths, meanwhileignited the shopinfollowingWhite Paper.
“陛下请看,这一条浅色的,是原先用于庆祝的雪粉,而深色的这条,为最新研制的速燃雪粉。”瑞利取出火石,点燃纸上的粉末,只见浅色的雪粉缓缓燃烧,并冒出滚滚浓烟,而深色的在数息之内就全数烧尽,同时还引燃了铺在下面的白纸。„What does thismean?”Timothyknits the brows saying that „the gadget that my dearyounger sisterobtains, did not burnopen/stretchpaperto finish up!”
“这意味着什么?”提费科皱眉道,“我那亲爱的妹妹所获得的玩意儿,可不是烧张纸就完事了的!”„Naturallyis not, Esteemed Your Majesty,”Rayleighfeels the beardto say with a smile, „does not know whether thesehazes when younotesitto burnemits. snow powderburnsquickly, the haze that in a short timereleasesare more, butreason that this is ithas the might. Iwill provethiswithanotherexperiment.”
“当然不是,尊敬的陛下,”瑞利摸着胡子微笑道,“不知您是否注意到它燃烧时放出的这些烟气。雪粉烧得越快,短时间内释放的烟气越多,而这便是它极具威力的原因。我会用另外一个试验证明这点。”Thistimeis the sheepskins of twofistsizespaper-insulated, outsidewrapssolid, the discipleslight the tall and slenderrope that paper-insulateddraws out, coverstwocopperbowlsagainonpaper-insulated. sparks/Marsfollow the rope, graduallycrawlsto the copperbowl.
这一次是两个拳头大小的羊皮纸包,外面包裹得严严实实,弟子们点燃纸包中引出的细长绳索,再将两个铜碗盖在纸包上。火星顺着绳索,逐渐向铜碗爬去。„The Your Majestyattention, thissound will be quite resounding, pleaseblock the ear.”
“陛下注意,这一次声音会比较响亮,请堵上耳朵。”
The chiefalchemistvoicejustfell, onlyhearsbang a loud sound, a copperbowlshowed one's true natureto face upwards, butanotherwas thrown the roofunexpectedlydirectly, when falls to the groundstillhas bouncedongraniterockstone slabseveral, exudes the clearimpact noise.
首席炼金师的话音刚落,只听到砰的一声巨响,一个铜碗翻了个底朝天,而另一个竟直接被抛上了屋顶,落地时还在花岗岩石板上弹跳了几下,发出清脆的撞击声。Damn! Timothygets hold of the scepter that almostlets go, has not swallowed a salivaon own initiative, howthisold thingdid not sayearlier!
该死!提费科握紧差点脱手的权杖,不自觉咽了口唾沫,这老东西怎么不早点说出来!Twodiscipleswill shake the copperbowl that fliesto deliver to front ofnew King, under herestrains by force the bottom of heartanger, making the attention as centralizedas the bowlon the--opposite partyafter all is the Kingdom CapitalAlchemy Associationbackbone, wantsto studyalchemyweapon, oneselfcould not temporarily have lefthishelp.
两名弟子将震飞的铜碗送到新王面前,他强压下心底的怒火,让注意力集中到碗上——对方毕竟是王都炼金协会的顶梁柱,想要研究炼金武器,自己暂时还离不开他的帮助。
The copperbowlat this timeseemedchanged the appearance, was similar tois struckfrom the interiorby the iron hammerruthlesslygenerally, the bowlalongswelled.
铜碗此时看上去已变了模样,如同被铁锤从内部狠狠敲打过一般,碗沿都胀大了一圈。„Ihave confirmedrepeatedly, the snow powdermightdoes not lie in the combustion, butlies inthesegas, this is also Pohlcarries off the formula the truth.”Rayleighstandsin the business hallspeaks with confidence, „, ifincreases the snow powderamount used, andcloselycompressesonegroup, itsmighttears the armorsufficiently, making the human bodybe split up. Ibelieve,thisnewsnow powderdefinitelywill substitute for the sword and spearbow and arrow, even if well-trainedKnight, cannot stand off a whole bodyto dress up the common people of snow powderleather bag.”
“我已经反复验证过,雪粉的威力不在于燃烧,而在于这些气体,这也是波尔带走配方的真相。”瑞利站在大厅中央侃侃而谈,“如果加大雪粉用量,并紧紧压缩成一团,它的威力足以撕裂盔甲,使人体四分五裂。我相信,这种新型雪粉必然会取代刀枪弓箭,即使是训练有素的骑士,也敌不过一名浑身披挂雪粉皮囊的平民。”These wordscausedmighty waves, Timothysaw that in the hallseveralKnightcomplexionswere obviously cloudy, Knight Steel HeartWelmesas ifwantedto go forwardwith the opposite partyto argue, hehurriedto knock the floorwith the scepter, „peaceful!”
这句话引起了一阵波澜,提费科看到厅内几名骑士脸色明显阴沉下来,其中钢心骑士魏马斯似乎想要上前与对方争辩,他赶紧用权杖敲了敲地板,“安静!”Whenlowers the headto the people, helookstoRayleigh Kenneth, „the formula that defectorcarries offdevelopswithyoucomplete is the same?”
待到众人纷纷低头,他才望向瑞利.切尼斯,“那个叛逃者带走的配方和你研制的完全一样吗?”„No, Your Majesty,”Rayleighshakes the head, in the spoken languagerevealsoneto disdain, „saltpeter, althoughis the Alchemic Workshopstanding-bygoods, but the storage quantitywill not be many. Hewhen the attritiondisposessnow powder, butby chancehas discoveredthisformula, even ifwants to further experiment, thatweight/quantityalsoinsufficientlyheusesseveraltimes. Butmyquick burningsnow powder, in the optimalformula of under the massivetestsobtaining, the mightmustbe much greater than the product under chancecoincidence.”
“不,陛下,”瑞利摇摇头,言语中露出一丝不屑,“硝石虽然是炼金坊常备物品,但存量也不会太多。他在研磨配置雪粉时,只是碰巧发现了这个配方,就算想进一步试验,那点分量也不够他用上几次。而我的速燃雪粉,是在大量测试下得出的最优配方,威力要远大于机缘巧合下的产物。”„Sogood,”Timothyrelaxedat heart. Althoughknows before Kingdom CapitalhasmanyGarcia , the manpower that arranges, has not actually thought that Alchemy Associationhashertrusted aide. Thistimerebels and flees a trusted aideplan, has taken awayalchemistPohland more than tenapprentices.

“如此就好,”提费科心里松了口气。尽管知道王城里有不少嘉西亚之前就安排好的人手,却没想到炼金协会都有她的心腹。这次叛逃正是心腹一手策划,带走了炼金师波尔和十多名学徒。原本不算什么大事,炼金师在其他城市十分稀罕,而在王都少说也有20来位,走掉一个无关紧要,可偏偏此人在离开前发现了一种杀伤力极强的雪粉,还未向协会贡献出炼金公式,便于第二天消失得无影无踪。
The Timothysecret agentonlywith enough timeholdsto keep the trusted aide of confusionline of sight, actuallycannotunder the truncationPohland his party. After learning of the news, heordersImperial Prime Ministerto purchasesaltpeter of entirecityimmediately, andrequestsAlchemy Associationto reappearPohl'ssnow powderformulaas soon as possible. Nowtwomonthshadhas been clear about the result, thissatisfiedhimquite, was pleasing to the eyestoslightly the old fogies who oneselfowed the respectincludingthismuch.提费科的密探只来得及抓住留下来混淆视线的心腹,却没能截下波尔一行人。得知消息后,他立刻命令御前首相收购全城的硝石,并要求炼金协会尽快重现波尔的雪粉配方。如今两个月的时间就有了明确结果,这让他颇为满意,连这名对自己稍欠尊重的老家伙都顺眼了不少。Timothysettles the throatclear, „doeswell, Iwill grantyou25gold royalas the reward. Moreover, Iwill open a snow powderworkshopin the Kingdom Capitalinner city, quantity manufacturethisquick burningsnow powder, butyoucannotbe lax, mustfurtherstudyitsusage. Reallyifcansaylikeyoulike that canmake the common peopledefeatKnight, grants you title and territory might also as well.”提费科清了清喉咙,“干得不错,我会赏赐你25枚金龙作为奖励。另外,我将在王都内城开设一家雪粉作坊,大量生产这种速燃雪粉,而你也不能松懈,应当进一步研究它的用法。如果真能像你说的那般,可以令平民击败骑士,赏赐你爵位和领地也无妨。”„Many thanksYour Majesty!”
“多谢陛下!”
After chiefalchemistleaves, KnightWelmesnot being able to bearstands saying that „your highness, thistype of thinglooks like, althoughscary, butwantsto defeatKnightto be absolutely impossiblewithit. Youalsosaw, itneedsto igniteto initiate, moreoverkill zone, only then about halfstep, common peoplebeforeapproachingme, Ihavedozensmethods to makehimfall to the groundto be killed violently. Even ifapproaches the bodyside, canstriketo kill the matchwhile the crevice of ignition, thenleavescalmly. View of Rayleigh, buthas not gotten up the person's of battlefieldconjecture.”
首席炼金师离开后,魏马斯爵士忍不住站出来说道,“殿下,这种玩意看起来虽然吓人,但想要用它来战胜骑士绝无可能。您也看到了,它需要点火引发,而且杀伤范围只有半步左右,平民在靠近我之前,我有数十种方法能让其倒地毙命。就算靠近身侧,也能趁着点火的空隙击杀对手,然后从容离开。瑞利的说法,不过是根本没上过战场之人的臆想罢了。”„Wealso believe that Your Majesty.”OtherKnightopen the mouthto sayin abundance.
“我们也这么认为,陛下。”其他骑士纷纷开口道。„ThereforeImakehimcontinueto try to find out that a betterusage,”Timothycomforting said that „for exampleshortens the ignitiontime, orcanthrow the usewait/etc.. Naturally, no matterwhatweapon, Ibelieve that Knightdowellcompared with the farmer.”
“所以我才让他继续摸索更好的用法,”提费科安抚道,“比方说缩短引火时间,或者能够投掷使用等等。当然,不管是什么样的武器,我都相信骑士要比农夫做得更好。”Although it is so, buthisalsothinks otherwise. The common peopleindeeddo not affect, theyare spiritless, covets life and fears death, butthere is a control of pill, snow powdercanbecome a powerfulsharp weapon. At leastwhenstormcity gateandshieldrow of defense lines, onlyneedsseveralto dress up the snow powdercrazymilitiatarget proximity, sufficientlyrips open an openingon the firmdefense line.
话虽这么说,可他心里也有一丝不以为然。平民的确毫无作用,他们懦弱愚昧,又贪生怕死,但有了药丸的控制,雪粉就能变为一件威力十足的利器。至少在强攻城门和盾列防线时,只需数名披挂雪粉的狂化民兵靠近目标,就足以在坚固的防线上撕开一道口子。At this moment, out of the doorhas resoundedsound of footstepssuddenly, personal guardwalks into the palacehallanxiously, the kneeling on one kneeevil ways, „Your Majesty, youdispatched the Western Region'smilitiateamas ifto encounter the heavy losses, now the soldier of routreturned toKingdom Capital, heard that alsobroughtRoland Wimbledon'sto call to account the letter, now many peopleknewthismatter.”
就在这时,门外忽然响起了脚步声,一名亲卫焦急地走入宫殿大厅,单膝跪下道,“陛下,您派往西境的民兵队似乎遭到了重创,如今溃败之兵已经回到了王都,听说还带来了罗兰.温布顿的责问信,现在有许多人都知道了这事。”„What?”Timothyhas gawkedstaring, „makesthemclose the mouthquickly, but alsolivingbringstometo the castleinentirely!”
“什么?”提费科愣了愣,“快让他们闭上嘴巴,还活着的统统给我带到城堡里来!”
......
……In the castlegarden, onecrowd of clothingbasketwisp of militiaare similar to the mudkneelson the groundbegs, „Your Majestyis benevolent, pleasegrantsomepillstous, Ireallycould not bear.”
城堡庭院中,一群衣衫篓缕的民兵如同烂泥般跪在地上央求道,“陛下仁慈,请赏赐些药丸给我们吧,我实在受不了了。”Yourthiscrowd of waste, besides the consumptionenemy, have no merit to speak ofradically, livesalsowastes the grain, but may also I askmeto beg the pill? Timothycoldlylooks atthisgroup of people, the sinkingsoundasks: „Do youlose tomatch? Combat process? Whocantalk clearly, Ikindly givewhoseantidote.”
你们这群废物,除了消耗敌人外,根本一无是处,活着也是浪费粮食,还敢问我讨要药丸?提费科冷冷地看着这帮人,沉声问道:“你们到底是怎么败给对手的?战斗过程呢?谁能说清楚,我就赏给谁解药。”
The peopleshoutimmediatelychaotically, „wehave encountered the attackon the ship, the fleetwas quickly chaotic. SirKnightorderedto land the set, butcame ashoresomepeoplenot to stop using the bowcrossbowfire, moreover was very crowded, is unable to hit back. SirKnighthas surrendered, wealso...... Fell.”
众人顿时七嘴八舌地嚷嚷起来,“我们在船上就遭到了攻击,船队很快就乱了。骑士大人下令登陆集合,但上了岸也有人不停用弓弩射击,而且十分密集,根本无法还手。骑士大人率先投降了,我们也跟着……降了。”„Knight of team leader?”
“那领队的骑士呢?”„No...... Does not know,theyhave escorted back under guardcampus, buthas not seenSirKnight.”
“不……不知道,他们把我们押回了营地,但没有看到骑士大人。”Timothyknit the brows, the soundwas colder, „how do thatyoucome back?”提费科皱了皱眉,声音更冷了,“那你们是怎么回来的?”„IsPrinceRolandputsusto walk,” a personhurries saying that „hehas given back to our letter, makingeverybodytransmittoyou.”
“是罗兰王子放我们走的,”一人赶紧说道,“他还给了我们一封信,让大伙转交给您。”„You?”
“你们?”„Yes, my herealsohas!”
“是啊,我这儿也有!”„Your Majesty, I have letter!”
“陛下,我也有信!”Onegroup of peopleshoutedhastily, in abundancepulls outRolandfrom the bosom " letter " .
一群人连忙喊了起来,纷纷从怀中掏出罗兰的「信件」。Damn! Did healsoreallygive everyone to sendthisthing? Timothyhintedpersonal guardto receive the letter paper, discoveredonallpapersto writesimilara few words.
见鬼!他还真给每个人都发了这玩意?提费科示意亲卫接过信纸,发现所有纸上都写着同样的一段话。
" Yourstupiditymakesmefeelregrettable, Timothy Wimbledon. Repeatedlyintrudes onWestern Regionis a grave mistake, youwill pay the pricefor this reason. Iwill attackKingdom Capitalinautumnsecondearly this month, butyouwill also discover, the position that oneselfplacedoes not havesafety that like thatyouimagine. At the appointed time, allKingdom Capitalcitypeoplewill see, yourthronealreadycrumbling. "
「你的愚行让我感到遗憾,提费科.温布顿。屡次进犯西境是一个严重错误,你将为此付出代价。我会在秋天的第二个月初进攻王都,而你亦会发现,自己身处的位置远没有你想象的那般安全。届时,所有王都城民都将看到,你的王位已经摇摇欲坠了。」
" --Roland Wimbledon. "
「——罗兰.温布顿。」
