...... …… This ship were also too many. 这船也太多了。 Stiles by near the wei building porthole, sizes up the fleet that on Scarlet Water River is coming and going. 斯蒂尔靠在艉楼舷窗边,打量着赤水河上来来往往的船队。 Since entering Western Region, the river course is suddenly busy . Moreover the majority of going does not have the strange stone ship of sail, listening to the captain saying that they managed this to call Stream Ship, depended upon the steam power vanguard, when its speed did not get a chill to the influence, the adverse current navigation wanted on quick many compared with the sailing ship, how frequently towed one string of black smokes to run up to front-- to promote by the hull big wood wheel as for the steam, nobody can talk clearly. 自从进入西境后,河道骤然繁忙起来,而且行驶的大部分都是没有风帆的古怪石头船,听船长介绍说,他们管这叫明轮船,依靠蒸汽动力前行,其速度不受风向影响,逆流航行时比帆船要快上许多,常常拖着一串黑烟就跑到了前面——至于蒸汽是怎么推动船体两侧的大木轮,没人能说得清楚。 But a little can affirm, this is the thing that Neverwinter City makes. 但有一点可以肯定,这都是无冬城造出来的东西。 Stiles has been estimating at heart, almost each one hour then can see Stream Ship, if on them transports is the cargos, that Neverwinter City commodity taking in quantity without doubt will be an astonishing value. This point she a-- huge city that studies from merchant there, digests the commodity the ability to be also higher, so long as stops over for two days on its major road, can judge the city approximately vividly, as well as the opportunity has many. If good at exchanging, can analyze 12 including the city demand most exuberant commodity. 斯蒂尔在心里估算了下,差不多每半个时辰便能看到一艘明轮船,如果它们上面运的都是货物,那无冬城的物资吸纳量无疑将是一个惊人的数值。这一点她是从商人那里学来的——一个越庞大的城市,消化物资的能力也越高,只要在它的官道上逗留两天,就可以大致判断出城市有多繁华,以及商机有多少。若善于交流的话,连城市需求最旺盛的商品都能分析出12。 Obviously, this Scarlet Water River is the Western Region most important key communication line. 显然,这条赤水河就是西境最为重要的交通要道。 But river course busy also means, she in these propagandas that Kingdom Capital sees, perhaps is not blowing own horn of Your Majesty Roland. 而河道的繁忙也意味着,她在王都所见到的那些宣传,恐怕并不是罗兰陛下的自吹自擂。 In the short time, the Western Region conformity is a new town, and resident population and commercial trade have surpassed original Kingdom Capital, but so uncommon throne successor has to have neither learning nor skill, the playboy biased evil reputation of...... Thinks of these hearsay, Stiles to Roland Wimbledon oneself even more felt that is curious. 短短时间内,就将西境整合为一座新城,并且常住人口和商业贸易已经超过了原来的王都,而如此不凡的王位继承者却有着不学无术,纨绔偏执的恶名……想到这些传闻,斯蒂尔对罗兰.温布顿本人愈发感到好奇起来。 „Is Miss Conrad, you looking at the ship?” The room gate was shoved open, puts on magnificently and expensively, appearance handsome brown sent the man to walk come in, „must exit thoroughly the tone, has treated is very here bored?” “康拉德小姐,你又在看船吗？”房间门被推开,一位穿着华贵,模样英俊的褐发男子走了进来,“要不要出去透口气,一直待在这里很无聊吧？” „Does not use, here is good,” Stiles is straight the body, nodded toward him, „many thanks your hospitality.” “不用,这儿挺好的,”斯蒂尔直起身子,朝他点了点头,“多谢你的款待。” „Which words,” he said with a smile, „can travel together with you such beautiful young lady is my luck.” “哪儿的话,”他笑道,“能和你这样美丽的小姐同行才是我的幸运。” Similar flattery Stiles hears too, but she still revealed the joyful facial expression response saying that „, if no you to extend the aid, I perhaps on with these cargos as well as the refugees press together.” 类似的奉承斯蒂尔听得太多,不过她仍露出愉悦的神情回应道,“若没有你伸出援手,我恐怕就得与那些货物以及流民挤在一起了。” „I am not certainly able to look on such situation occurrence,” man sits down in her opposite, „a gem merchant meeting is not willing to make the jewelry flee the capital.” “我当然无法坐视这样的情况发生,”男子在她对面坐下,“没有一个宝石商人会愿意让珠宝蒙尘。” He is Yongchun master, gem merchant Victor from Kingdom Capital. After the original ships were burnt down, Stiles quick from one went to the Western Region's ships to select this twin mast steamship dry/does. It is not a passenger steamer, does not accept the employment, but is the Victor personal private car, but regarding Pearl of the Northern Lands, so long as the ship owner is a male, all these are not the issues. 他便是永春号的主人,来自王都的宝石商人维克多。原先的船只被烧毁后,斯蒂尔很快从一干前往西境的船只里挑中了这艘双桅大船。它并非客船,也不接受雇佣,而是属于维克多的私人座驾,但对于北地珍珠来说,只要船主是男性,这一切都不是问题。 She will act one Northern Lands Miss noble who goes to Western Region to seek for the separate family member, under then makes the Victor heart live to pity in a few words, invited her to mount Yongchun on own initiative. Compared with the ordinary small sailing ship and freighter, Yongchun has the comfortable wei building cabin, light and bright did not say, has not rushed year to year about in the wood/blockhead decayed unusual smell that the waterway preserves. Even the master has also prepared two retinues for her, has not gathered including gold royal. 她将自己扮演成一名前往西境寻找失散亲人的北地贵族小姐,三言两语之下便让维克多心生怜悯,主动邀请她登上了永春号。比起普通的小型帆船和货船,永春号有着舒适的艉楼客舱,宽敞明亮不说,也没有常年奔波于水路所留存的木头腐朽异味。甚至主人还为她准备了两名仆从,连一枚金龙都没有收取。 Naturally, the only price is Victor once for a while will then visit to express his generous and concern, but this regarding mingling among noble human relations circle handy Stiles already became accustomed. If the opposite party is outstanding enough, she will also enjoy the obligation to control the feeling of opposite party. 当然,唯一的代价便是维克多会时不时上门来表示他的慷慨和关怀,不过这对于混迹贵族交际圈得心应手的斯蒂尔来说早已习以为常。如果对方足够优秀的话,她还会享受驱使掌控对方的感觉。 „These ships, although can calm automatic, but eventually was too crude a point,” Victor for own pour a cup black tea, „I once mounted Stream Ship carefully to observe, it went, not only noisy, but also trembled very...... Is used for the haulage cargo to be good, is actually not the good choice of making a long journey.” “这些船虽然能无风自动,但终究是太简陋了一点,”维克多为自己倒了杯红茶,“我曾登上一艘明轮船仔细观察过,它行驶起来不光吵闹,还十分震颤……用来拖运货物不错,却不是长途旅行的好选择。” „Naturally will not have Yongchun to be so comfortable,” Stiles said with a smile lightly, „I felt that they as if were one night brave? Before Western Region not such ships?” “当然不会有永春号这么舒适,”斯蒂尔轻笑道,“不过我怎么感觉它们仿佛是一夜之间冒出来的？以前西境并没有这样的船只吧？” „You said right, they are one night brave,” Victor curls the lip, „before me, often runs Longsong Stronghold, where has this type of strange thing, passed a winter, they everywhere.” “你说的没错,它们就是一夜冒出来的,”维克多撇撇嘴,“我以前常跑长歌要塞,哪里有这种古怪的玩意,才过了一个冬天,它们就到处都是了。” Has made 20-30 Stream Ship in the winter? The Stiles big feeling cannot help but surprised, as the successor of Kant family, she is naturally clear means anything. Because the big city needs to digest large quantities of commodities, therefore its expansion was also restricted in the commodity the transport capacity, but this kind can the non- sailing ship of rapid production only obviously be expands the ample capacity extremely good tool--, if can continuously the grain and commodity across kingdom transports to Western Region, the Neverwinter City rate of expansion may far exceed the imagination of people! 一个冬天就造出了二三十艘明轮船？斯蒂尔不由得大感惊讶,身为康德家族的继承者,她自然清楚这其中意味着什么。正因为大城市需要消化大批物资,因此其扩张受也限于物资的运输能力,而此类可以快速生产的无帆船只显然是扩大运力的极好工具——若能源源不断将王国各地的粮食和商品运抵西境,无冬城的扩展速度有可能会远远超出人们的想象！ As for noisy and trembles? That is nothing to speak of radically. 至于吵闹和震颤？那根本不值一提。 „Was right, Miss Conrad, do not care about these not to have the aesthetic sense stone ship, a my here some more interesting thing, could help you kill the bored time.” Victor draws on nearby maidservant, whispered in her ear two, the latter nods, turns around to leave the room. “对了,康拉德小姐,不要在意那些毫无美感的石头船了,我这儿有些更有趣的东西,或许可以帮助你打发无聊的时间。”维克多招来一旁的侍女,在她耳边低语了两句,后者点点头,转身离开了房间。 „What is?” “是什么？” „Can with your beautiful appearance symmetric thing,” his favorite say/way, „also be my old profession.” “能和你的美貌相称之物,”他得意道,“也是我的老本行。” The maidservants returned to the wei building quickly, but also has brought a quite fine book, Victor spreads out it in front of Stiles, „does not know that which you do like?” 侍女很快又回到了艉楼,还带来了一个颇为精美的本子,维克多将其摊开在斯蒂尔面前,“不知你喜欢哪一款？” On the parchment wonderfully only smartly is only drawing up many radiant crystal stone designs, the writing technique is exquisite, bright, leaps including the transparent gloss on the paper, obviously the artist of plan atlas is skilled in this field of endeavor. 羊皮纸上唯妙唯俏地绘制着许多璀璨晶石的图案,笔法细腻,色泽鲜明,连透明的光泽都跃于纸上,显然绘制图册的画师十分精于此道。 „This is...... gem?” “这是……宝石？” „Said accurately, is raw gems.” Victor careful answered, „when I purchased them, then deferred to the standard definite price on atlas. Compared with carving to polish the good jewelry, the original stone also has a unique flavor...... If which kind of original stone you are interested, please tell me. Naturally, if you like end product, after I can also return to Kingdom Capital, asked the jewelry artisan to build the decorations for you.” “准确的说,是宝石原石。”维克多细心的解释道,“我收购它们时,便按照图册上的标准确定价格。比起雕琢打磨好的珠宝,原石也别有一番风味……你如果对哪类原石感兴趣的话,请告诉我。当然,你若是更喜爱成品,我也可以回王都后请珠宝匠为你打造成饰物。” Does not have the trick of fresh idea, Stiles flipped the picture album conveniently, returns to him, „thanked, does not use.” 毫无新意的伎俩,斯蒂尔随手翻了翻画册,又交还给他,“谢了,不用。” The Victor somewhat surprised receiving book, „weren't you interested in these?” 维克多有些惊讶的接过书,“你对这些不感兴趣？” „My family member still did not know the whereabouts, really has no interest to choose these luxurious gifts, please excuse me.” Stiles said in a low voice. If should , after arriving in Neverwinter City, here also will be entangled by him, that does not help the following motion. Although most females will be subdued by these sparkling thing, but she rather appreciates promotes Stream Ship Steam engine, compared with only in the jewelry that noble spreads, these things truly are valuable. “我的亲人尚不知下落,实在无心挑选这些奢华的礼物,请见谅。”斯蒂尔低声道。如果在这里应下,抵达无冬城后也会被他缠上来,那可不利于自己接下来的行动。尽管大多数女性都会被这些闪闪发光的玩意所折服,但她宁愿去欣赏推动明轮船的蒸汽机,比起只在贵族间流传的珠宝,那些东西才真正具有价值。 ...... …… Shortly after Victor leaves, the bow direction hears the connected shrill cry sound suddenly, continuously, vigorous and low and deep...... As if a huge fleet is leaving port to set sail. 维克多离开后不久,船头方向忽然传来连串的长鸣声,此起彼伏,浑厚而低沉……仿佛一支庞大的船队正在离港起航。 Stiles side looks, sees only the shallow brown dock line to launch in her front slowly. 斯蒂尔侧头望去,只见浅褐色的码头线已在她前方徐徐展开。
