The mid-autumnsecond day, Rolandreceived the confidential letterfromKingdom Capital.
仲秋的第二天,罗兰收到了来自王都的密信。Throughletter that the flightmessengertransmits, ispersonal guardTasawritesto givemost likelyown.
通过飞行信使传递的信件,十有八九是亲卫塔萨写给自己的。Launchespaper that on the birdclawtwines, before Rolandarrives at the window, taking advantage of the beautifulsunlightexamines carefully.
展开鸟爪上缠绕的纸条,罗兰走到窗前,借着明媚的阳光细看起来。
" Esteemedyour highness, yourplanhas obtained the astonishingsuccess. "
「尊敬的殿下,您的计划取得了惊人的成功。」
" Because the royal palacewas blockedquickly, andforbidsanybodyto pass in and out, howthereforeIhave no wayto inquirethisblast effect. However when toevening, almost allresidentsknew the matter of royal palaceattack, in the tavernandinn, in the square, the place that anysomepeoplegather , the topic of discussiononly hasone. Whenis the late kingpassed away, has not hadso the influence of stir. In addition before you , the warning that emits, many peopleeventhink that nowTimothydiedinthisattack, youwill rule quicklyKingdom Capital, becomes the Greycastlenewruler. "
「由于王宫很快被封锁,并禁止任何人进出,所以我没法打探这场爆炸效果如何。不过到傍晚时,几乎所有居民都知道了王宫遇袭之事,无论是在酒馆、旅店、还是在广场,任何有人聚集的地方,讨论的话题都只有一个。即使是先王逝世时,也没有产生过如此轰动的影响。加上您之前放出的警告,现在有不少人甚至认为提费科已经在这场袭击中身亡,您很快就会君临王都,成为灰堡新的统治者。」ThiscontentmakesRolandfeel relievedthoroughly the--bombing raidssuccessfullyare accomplished, witchreturnssafely, has not compared this betternews.
这段内容让罗兰彻底放下心来——轰炸任务顺利完成,女巫安然返航,没有比这更好的消息了。Has steeped. the teatooneself, hereturns toby the mahoganytable , to continue downwardto look at the cup
给自己沏了杯茶,他回到红木桌旁,继续往下看。
" Information that howeveraccording tocollectsat present, severalbignobleterritories outside Kingdom Capitalare stirless, the response in royal palace is also very rapid, thereforeIspeculated,Timothy Wimbledon is also likely living. "
「然而根据目前搜集到的情报,王都外的几大贵族领地并无动静,王宫方面的反应也十分迅速,因此我推测,提费科.温布顿很可能还活着。」
" Moreover, but alsosomepeoplevowed solemnly that saidthisattack came from the space, someresidentswitnessed that the shallowwhiteobjecthas dropped from the clouds, crashes into the royal palaceat the extremelyquickspeed. Thereforeyouconfessed that givesmyduty, Ihadpreliminaryplan--, ifcanexaggeratethis matterforyoutoheavenly punishment that the falsekingatrocityexerts, Ithink that manypeoplewill accept as true. "
「另外,还有人信誓旦旦的说这场袭击来自于天上,一些居民目睹到了浅白色的物体从天而降,以极快的速度坠入王宫。所以您交代给我的任务,我已经有了初步的方案——如果能够将此事渲染为您对伪王暴行所施加的天罚,我想很多人都会信以为真。」
The subordinate who " Igatherhas been full of the working zeal, usuallyintheycollected many relatedTimothytyrannicalacts, nowmixesintogether, thinks that is more effective. Ibelieve,could not takeonemonth, thesenewswill pass to the ear of eachcitypeoplethroughblackstreetMouse. "
「我招揽的手下对此充满了干劲,平日里他们就收集了不少有关提费科的暴虐行径,现在混合在一起,想必更加有效。我相信,要不了一个月,这些消息就会通过黑街老鼠传到每一位城民的耳中。」
" Moreover, Iwill continueto monitor the trend of eastern suburbsbarracksclosely, buton the currentsituation, Timothybeforehas not found out the counter measures of resistanceattack, shouldbehas no timeto care aboutother. "
「另外,我会继续密切监视东郊兵营的动向,不过就目前的形势来看,提费科在没有想出抵御袭击的应对措施前,应该是无暇顾及其他了。」End of letterhas not signed, Rolandlooked, foldsto put in the drawer the confidential letter, longreleased a long breath.
信的末尾没有署名,罗兰看完后将密信折好放入抽屉内,长长出了口气。If the east windcanobstructTimothyto dispatch troops on the 1st too to be good.
如果东风一号真能遏阻提费科出兵就太好了。After allreallyextremelywastesat the substance abusecombat the massivepopulationconsumptions, the opposite partyis later a startconsumptioncombat, oneselfcanstriveto win over the populationonmore the opportunity.
毕竟将大量人口消耗在嗑药作战上实在是太过浪费,对方越晚一步启动消耗作战,自己就越能争取到更多拉拢人口的机会。Rolandcarries the cup, the black tea that sips a fragrancehas overflowed. Thenmustdo, thenrelievedwaited for that witchesreturns.罗兰端起杯子,抿了口香气四溢的红茶。接下来所要做的,便是安心等待女巫们归来。Severaldayshave not seenAnna, dried fishalsonobody in drawersecretlytake, hethought that a littledoes not adapt.
好几天没见到安娜,抽屉里的鱼干也没人偷拿,他都觉得有点不适应了。At this moment, Carterhas opened the door of office.
就在这时,卡特推开了办公室的门。„Your highness, dockcametwofleets.”
“殿下,码头来了两支船队。”„WasMargery Commerceto? Calculatesin the time on the roadspending, shehas missed a good playactually...... Wait/Etc.,”Rolandstaresslightly, „alsohas a fleet?”
“是玛格丽商会到了吧?算在路上花去的时间,她倒是错过了一场好戏……等等,”罗兰微微一愣,“还有一支船队?”„Yes,”Cartersaid with a smile, „youdispatched the envoygroup that southern regionrecruited the manpower, came backa group oftroops. The refugee who theybringhas almost been filled withdock, City Hallaccording to the plan that youmake, carries outthatwithMissLuciatogether......”
“是,”卡特笑道,“您派往南境征召人手的使者团,已经回来了一批人马。他们带来的流民差不多挤满了码头,市政厅正在按您制定的方案,和露西亚小姐一同执行那个……”„Quarantine work.”
“检疫工作。”„Right, is the evilepidemic disease that eliminatespossiblyhasand so on......”Chief Knightcoughstwo, „thisbatch of population have almost 400-500people.”
“对对,就是消除可能存在的邪疫之类……”首席骑士咳嗽两声,“这一批人数差不多有四五百人。”„Right?”Rolandcannot bearturn upwards the corners of the mouth, was talking a moment ago still overthismatter, currentlyhad the result, it seems like that the Lotusresponsibletemporary shelterroomincreasedoneto approveagain, „wehad a look.”
“是吗?”罗兰忍不住翘起嘴角,刚才还在念叨这事,现在就有了成效,看来莲负责的临时安置房得再增加一批了,“我们去看看吧。”*******************
*******************Cam Schuireputs down the lightremnantvolume, non-stopduplicatinga few words, „So that's it.”凯莫.斯垂尔放下薄薄的残卷,不停重复着一句话,“原来如此。”„Teacher?”SomeJamesworriesasked.
“导师?”查美斯有些担心地问道。
Since attainingthis«Intermediate Chemistry», Camtwodayshas not been sleeping, were almost readto put in orderthisold bookall nightcontinuous. Hehas also looked atseveral, but the abovecontentis extremely abstruse, is unreadable.
自从拿到这本《中等化学》后,凯莫就连着两天没睡觉,几乎是彻夜不休地翻看完了整本古籍。他也瞄过几眼,但上面的内容太过深奥,根本难以理解。„Iam very good,”in the chiefalchemistsoundabsolutelydoes not have the feeling of weariness, insteadis full of energy, although the corner of the eyeplacehasto remainhas eyesfilthy, butboth eyesare fiery, is notonehas not sleptcompletelylikelyall night the person.
“我很好,”首席炼金师的声音里完全没有倦意,反而精神抖擞,眼角处虽有留有眼垢,但双目炯炯有神,完全不像是一个整夜未眠之人。When the teacherstudies diligentlyalchemycannotspeakto disturbeasily, thisis the custom that a discipleshouldobserve, untilthis time, Jamesdaresto open the mouthto consult saying that „thisbook...... The disciplesdo not lookclearly, what the atomis, what is the electron?”
在导师钻研炼金时不可轻易出言打扰,这是一个弟子应遵守的规矩,直到此时,查美斯才敢开口请教道,“这本书……弟子看不明白,原子是什么,电子又是什么?”„Youarequalifiedalchemist, do not sayby the discipleagain, according to the view of your highness, wenowis the colleague,”Campaused, „as foryourissue, how I do not know should answer...... In fact, when Your HighnessRoland«Intermediate Chemistry»givesme, but alsoinsupplementarythisbook.”
“你已经是名合格的炼金师,就不要再以弟子自称了,按殿下的说法,我们现在是同事,”凯莫顿了顿,“至于你的问题,我也不知道该怎么回答……事实上,罗兰殿下将《中等化学》交给我时,还附带上了这本书。”Jameslooksto another books of swayedontabletop, in the title pagewrites the «Theoretical Foundations of Natural Science»inscription.查美斯望向摆在桌面上的另一本书籍,封面上写着《自然科学理论基础》的字样。„Schuire...... Sir,”hissome not bigcustomname, „itlooks likewithalchemy...... No, the chemistrydoes not relate.”
“斯垂尔……先生,”他有些不大习惯这个称谓,“它看起来跟炼金……不,化学毫无联系。”„Ialsobelieve,”Camfeels the beardto say with emotion, „after turnedseveralpagesconveniently, Idiscoveredoneselfknow nothingaboutthisworldactually.”
“我原本也这么认为,”凯莫摸着胡子感慨道,“不过随手翻了几页后,我才发现自己其实对这个世界一无所知。”„What?”Jameshas gawkedstaring. Knows nothing? alchemistresearchis the composition of object, the essence of element, ifincludingthemto calculateto know nothing, whatotherpeoplealsodo haveto distinguishwith the monkey?
“什么?”查美斯愣了愣。一无所知?炼金师研究的就是物体的组成,元素的本质,如果连他们都算一无所知,其他人跟猴子又有什么区别?„WhatIrefer tois the idea,” the chiefalchemistsoundhas filledexcitedly...... Withsatisfaction, „wethink that alchemyisalchemy, isstudies the thingqualitativeknowledge, Sunraisesto fall, the flowerbloomson the wane, does not relatewithus.”
“我指的是观念,”首席炼金师的声音充满了兴奋……和满足,“我们以为炼金就是炼金,是研究物质的学识,太阳升起落下,花儿绽放凋零,都和我们毫无关系。”„It is not this...... ObservesSun and starisastrologerexcels, as for the plant,”Jamesdisdainsto sayslightly, „, only then the farmer and rhizotomistwill study.”
“难道不是这样么……观察太阳和星星是占星家们擅长的,至于植物,”查美斯略微不屑道,“只有庄稼汉和采药人才会去研究。”„Thereforeweknow nothing,”Camshakes the head saying that „thisbookfrom the beginning, triesto link the myriad things, regardless of the stone, flowers and plantsandThunder, the flame, comprised of the thing of unification, andoperatesunder the uniform rules. Not merely the chemistrydefers to the ruleto respondcompletely,solarfluctuationandflowerblossomto fallalsosimilarlyso. Thisruleissoprecise, so long asstarts the conditionto be the same, finallycompletelywill be consistent, the chemistryis a smallpart.”
“所以说我们一无所知,”凯莫摇头道,“这本书从一开始,就试图将万物联系在一起,无论石头、花草、雷霆、还是火焰,都由统一之物组成,并且在统一规则下运行。不单化学完全按照规律反应,就连太阳升降、花开花落也同样如此。这个规则是如此精确,只要开始条件相同,结果就会完全一致,化学不过是其中的一小部分。”„...... Is this, howpossible?”
“……这,怎么可能?”„Ialsothinkto be hardto imagine,”hespreads out the periodic table, „inIntermediate Chemistry, itestablishesnumeroussmall balls that outside the shape--bigball of elementsurrounded. The bigballhad decideditiswhattype of element, the layer and integer of outer ringsmall ballhad decided the characteristics of element, butthislist, pressesthisruledistribution, in theyare neatline up in formationlike one soldier. Ialsocompletelyunderstood the meaning of your highness: Whyneversees, has contactedthistype of element, caninferitsnature and reaction mechanism. Basis that becauseresponded, was the gains and losses of small ball, will not involve the change of bigball, this was also responded that the elementcannotvanish, reason that can only shift.”
“我也觉得难以想象,”他摊开元素周期表,“在中等化学里,它设定了元素的形状——一颗大球外环绕的众多小球。大球决定了它是何种元素,外圈小球的层数和个数决定了元素的特性,而这张列表,正是按此规律排布,它们整齐得就像一支列队里的士兵。我也完全明白了殿下的意思:为何从未见过、接触过这种元素,也可以推断出它的性质和反应机理。因为就连反应的根本,也是小球的得与失,根本不会涉及到大球的变化,这也是反应中元素不会消失,只会转移的原因。”Jameshas pondered the moment, „you...... Believes?”查美斯沉思了片刻,“您……相信吗?”Thesetheoriesare extremely indistinct, is unable to adopt the eyeconfirmation, then, how does the person of compilationbooksknow?
这些理论太过缥缈,也无法通过眼睛验证,那么,编写书籍的人又是如何知道的?„Ido not know, therefore before Iam unable answeryou , the issue that asks,”Camsmiled, „believesnotimportant, the keyis the angle of view that itprovideshas never imaginedfromme...... Itmademeseeanotherleafed door, in the gatewas carvingsolelywas not the chemistry.” Here histoneslightly, „was a pity,your highnesscannotrecordcompletelyit. Hewas perhaps unintelligible, the outcome that oneselfmissisanything.”
“我不知道,所以我无法回答你之前所提的问题,”凯莫笑了笑,“不过信不信都不重要,关键是它提供的视角从我从未想象过的……它让我看到了另一扇门,门上刻着的不单单是化学。”说到这儿他语气微微一顿,“可惜,殿下没能把它全部记录下来。他或许无法了解,自己错过的究竟是什么。”Jamestothese wordsfelt that did not understandgreatly, when likeat firstbecomes the apprentice, facing the alchemistterminologylooks likeanotherlanguage is the same, now, hehadsuchfeelingonce more.查美斯对这番话感到不大理解,就像最初成为学徒时,面对炼金师的术语就像是另外一门语言一样,如今,他再次有了这样的感觉。Howeverhewas not worried, so long asfollowsside the teacher, oneselfcertainlycanlearntheseso-called " myriad thingsintrinsicrelation " . Compared withchiefalchemist, is the time that hemostdoes not lack.
不过他并不担心,只要跟在导师身边,自己就一定能学到这些所谓「万物内在的联系」。比起首席炼金师,他最不缺的就是时间。
After silentmoment, Jamesopens the mouthto ask, „thesebooks that but, whyyour highnessprovides, does the nameuse the colorto be various?”
沉默片刻后,查美斯开口问道,“不过,为何殿下发放的这些书籍,名字所用颜色各不相同?”Chiefalchemist„well”, „this...... Ineglectedactually. Along with the action of nature?”Butheshakes the headto sayquickly,„is not right, if the black and redis good, thesecolorsare especially difficultto match, notgreatlypossiblyhas no intention. In other words, isyour highnessmakes intothisdesirably?”
首席炼金师“咦”了一声,“这……我倒是忽略了。难道是随性之举?”但他很快摇头道,“不对,如果是黑色和红色还好,这几种颜色格外难配,不大可能是无意为之。也就是说,是殿下刻意弄成这样的?”«Elementary Chemistry»is the blue color, «Theoretical Foundations of Natural Science»isblue color, «Elementary mathematics»is the green, but « Intermediate Chemistry( RemnantVolume) " book titlewrotewith the violet pigment. Lookedalone when is not prominent, but if placesin the same place, appearedespeciallystriking.《初等化学》是蓝色,《自然科学理论基础》是蓝色,《初等数学》是绿色,而《中等化学(残卷)》的书名则是用紫色颜料写成。单独看时并不突出,但若摆放在一起,就显得格外醒目了。„Probablyforattractive?”Jamesguessed.
“大概是为了好看吧?”查美斯猜测道。
