This is Border Town...... It is not right, Neverwinter City? 这就是边陲镇……不对,无冬城？ Edith steps down from the ramp, is looking at present this busy and ordered scene, cannot help but dumbfounded. Although has made all sorts of guesses before arrival, but she discovered that she underestimated the area of this city-- dock area also to want on big three times to continue compared with Kingdom Capital, at the same time has been filled with the sailing ship and concrete boat of unloading cargo, put the ore and coal in dump site piles a hill. 伊蒂丝走下舷梯,望着眼前这一片忙碌而有序的景象,不由得目瞪口呆。尽管在抵达前就已经做过种种猜测,但她发现自己还是小看了这座城市——码头区的面积比王都还要大上三倍不止,一边挤满了卸货的帆船和水泥船,摆在堆场上的矿石和煤炭足足堆成了一座小山包。 Another side ten Stream Ship falls into column leave the trestle slowly, by the dike also stand many people to see off for it. The person wear on ship unifies the uniform/subdue completely, by the liter along the broad side is straight, the abundant fighting spirit of shows can feel-- this facial expression only to appear including Edith on returning in triumph Knight in the past, but these people without a doubt are not noble. 另一边十来艘明轮船正排成纵队缓缓离开栈桥,堤岸旁还站着许多民众为其送行。船上的人全部穿着统一制服,沿船舷两旁立得笔直,所展现出来的盎然斗志连伊蒂丝都能感受得到——以往这种神情只会出现在得胜归来的骑士身上,而这些人毫无疑问都不是贵族。 The dock center is the merchant, refugee and gathering place of migration, is primarily various sailing ships, after the people disembark , was separated by one group of black-clothed person, requesting them to arrange in order the growth team through the inspection checkpoint. Only is the entire dock area, mobile population more than more than thousand, so lively scene, even if Kingdom Capital also pales by comparison. 码头中央是则是商人、流民、迁徙者的汇聚地,以各类帆船为主,人们下船后便被一群黑衣人分隔开来,要求他们列成长队通过检查关卡。光是整个码头区,流动的人口就不下千余,如此繁华的场景即使是王都也相形见绌。 „dock has lengthened unexpectedly,” Victor is flabbergasted saying that „Your Majesty planned turns into the dock area the entire river bank?” “码头居然又变长了,”维克多咋舌道,“陛下难道打算把整个河岸都变成码头区吗？” „?” Edith noted the word usage of opposite party. “又？”伊蒂丝注意到了对方的用词。 „When at least last year of autumn here dock so is not broad,” he spreads out the hand, „naturally, does not have these many people.” “至少上一年秋天时这里的码头还没有这么宽广,”他摊开手,“当然,也没这么多人。” „What these checkpoints are making, collects taxes?” “那些关卡是在做什么,收税吗？” „Here has not entered a city tax saying, only then sold to pay taxes the thing,” Victor answered warmly, „, moreover in the city cannot set up a stall at will, all sales must the convenient market in square area. These black-clothed person are equal the patrol leaders in other cities, they set up the checkpoint to register the status and eliminate the evil epidemic disease.” “这里并没有入城税一说,只有把东西卖出去了才要交税,”维克多热情地解释道,“而且城里不可随意摆摊,所有的售卖都得在广场区的便民市场进行。那些黑衣人相当于其他城市的巡逻队,他们设置关卡是为了登记身份和清除邪疫。” Doesn't blackmail and extorts? Edith signaled with the eyes toward the younger brother, the latter nods, pulls out money that the belt-bag prepares to arrange. 不是敲诈和勒索？伊蒂丝朝弟弟使了个眼色,后者点点头,掏出腰包准备打点的钱。 „, Miss Conrad, I did not mean that " is equal to " patrol leader,” the gem merchant beckons with the hand to say with a smile, „in fact, they never gather unnecessary cost-- I to know this point is very difficult to believe that but the fact is so, when I for the first time through inspection is also same as you. Comes with me, merchant channel is much quicker.” “不不,康拉德小姐,我是说「相当于」巡逻队,”宝石商人笑着摆手道,“事实上,他们从不收取多余费用——我知道这一点很难相信,但事实就是如此,我首次通过检查时也和你一样吃惊。跟我来吧,商人通道要快捷得多。” Like such that he said that after the black-clothed person verified the Victor status, then made one line of all pass the checkpoint, copper royal had not demanded. 就像他所说的那样,黑衣人核实完维克多的身份后便让一行人全部通过了关卡,一枚铜鹰都没有索要。 „Then, I must look for the clean comfortable inn, arrives at the convenient market to transfer the revolutions again,” he has turned the head, „your plan, Miss Conrad? If not ripe, I can work for you.” “接下来,我得去找间干净舒适的旅店,再到便民市场转转,”他转过头,“你的打算呢,康拉德小姐？如果对此地不熟,我可以为你效劳。” „Thanks,” Edith ships out the grateful facial expression, pinches the skirt to bow to say slightly, „you have helped my many all the way, this was enough...... I will go to City Hall to seek the help, there should be able to find my family member's news.” “谢谢,”伊蒂丝装出感激的神情,捏起裙角微微屈膝道,“一路上你帮了我许多,这已经足够了……我会去市政厅寻求帮助,那里应该能找到我亲人的消息。” „Is only the slight effort...... Can know you such outstanding Miss noble is my being honored, sure.” “只是举手之劳罢了……能够结识你这样出众的贵族小姐是我的荣幸,请不要客气。” After having shirked, Edith gets rid of the entanglement of Victor with great difficulty, finally when the merchant said goodbye also unceasingly waved toward her, said that if met troublesome, momentarily can go to the Holy Mountain inn to look for him. 推卸了一番后,伊蒂丝好不容易才摆脱维克多的纠缠,最后商人告别时还不断朝她挥手,说若是遇到麻烦,随时可以去圣山旅店找他。 „Elder sister, you also are really popular,” Kohl smacks the lips to say. “姐,你还真是受欢迎啊,”科尔咂嘴道。 „Yeah?” Edith glanced his one eyes, „what should you call me?” “嗯？”伊蒂丝瞟了他一眼,“你该叫我什么？” „...... cough cough, Ms. Edith,” the Duke second son trembles, „do we also look for a hotel to stay?” “呃……咳咳,伊蒂丝女士,”公爵次子不禁一颤,“我们也去找间旅馆住下吗？” „No, first goes to the castle to submit document/secretary,” she is without hesitation typical, „as soon as possible and Your Majesty has the contact.” “不,先去城堡递交文书,”她毫不犹豫地道,“尽快和陛下取得联系。” „But we did not have the head......” Kohl to remind in a low voice. “可是我们没有头颅了……”科尔低声提醒。 „That presses does not have the head comes,” Edith shrugs, „still remembers these matters that I confess? Displays the sincerity, Kant family the meaning of giving loyalty to is not only two heads can represent.” “那就按没有头颅的来,”伊蒂丝耸耸肩,“还记得我交代的那些事情吧？把诚意展现出来,康德家族的效忠之意不光是两颗头颅就能代表的。” Moreover has, it is estimated that also already the unbearable stink-- took two corruption the inadequate human form head to give to Your Majesty similarly is not the great idea, she thought, leaves Kingdom Capital from the opposite party, all deviated scheduled Orbit. 而且就算有,估计也早就臭不可闻了——拿着两颗腐败得不成人形的脑袋献给陛下同样不是什么好主意,她心想,从对方离开王都起,一切就已经偏离了预定轨迹。 How should do, but must look at the concrete situation decision. Finally, the ability of negotiant is decides to negotiate the result key aspect. 该怎么做,还得看具体的情况决定。最终,谈判者的能耐才是决定交涉结果的关键因素。 ******************* ******************* „Your Majesty, a envoy group from Northern Lands is waiting outside the castle, hopes that can obtain your interview,” personal guard Sean enters the office report saying that „team leader said is the present northern region Duke Calvin Kant second son, Kohl Kant. Sir Barov has inspected certificate document/secretary and family emblem, should not forge.” “陛下,一支来自北地的使者团正在城堡外等候,希望能获得您的接见,”亲卫肖恩走进办公室汇报道,“领队自称是如今北境公爵卡尔文.康德的次子,科尔.康德。巴罗夫大人已经检查过凭证文书和家徽,应该不是伪造的。” „Northern Lands?” Roland puts down the design paper in hand accidentally/surprisingly, „that is not the Timothy domain, do they have the explanation purpose in coming?” “北地？”罗兰意外地放下手中的设计图纸,“那不是提费科的地盘么,他们有说明来意吗？” „Yes,” personal guard looks excitedly, „Knight Kohl said that Sir Duke is willing to give loyalty to you.” “是,”亲卫面露兴奋,“科尔爵士说公爵大人愿意向您效忠。” Initiative...... Offers services, his knitting the brows head, this also is really terrible business. From the original intention, he does not need giving loyalty to of feudal lord, not only does not help the kingdom development, will also have the impact on the present centralization system. Roland hopes that the opposite party holds one to shrink by luck in the territory, waited for oneself sweep away well. Only then grinds the old influence thoroughly, can establish the centralization smoothly. 主动……投效么,他皱了皱眉头,这还真是个麻烦事。从本意上来说,他并不需要一名封建领主的效忠,不仅对王国发展毫无帮助,还会对现行的集权制度造成冲击。罗兰更希望对方抱有一丝侥幸缩在领地里,等待自己横扫过去就好。只有把旧势力彻底碾碎,才能顺利建立起中央集权。 However does not see is not good, the opposite party sends out the envoy group to make peace actually intentionally dries in the sun in one side, will pass on possibly to make other noble lose leaving things to chance, decided that will join up to wrestle. This anything issue, he mostly worried militarily can actually affect eastern region and Northern Lands people's-- Roland has regarded as own wealth the kingdom people, naturally wants to preserve more population as far as possible. 然而不见也不行,对方派出使者团媾和却被故意晾在一边,传出去可能会让其他贵族丧失侥幸心理,决定联合起来一搏。这样在军事上倒不是什么问题,他主要担心会波及到东境和北地的人民——罗兰已经将王国子民视作自己的财富,自然想要尽可能保住更多的人口。 Has thought deeply about the moment, he slowly nods saying that „leads them to go to the reception room, moreover called the Barov same place.” 思索了片刻,他才缓缓点头道,“带他们去会客厅吧,另外叫上巴罗夫一起。” „Yes.” Sean should say excitedly. “是。”肖恩激动地应道。 Looks at the personal guard facial expression, thinks probably then, kingdom throughout only remaining east side has not belonged to itself to rule...... Roland mused, but the matter will not sometimes look like superficially is so simple. 看亲卫的神情,大概以为如此一来,王国全境就只剩下东边没有归于自己统治了吧……罗兰暗想,只是有时候事情并不会像表面上看起来的那么简单。 But he also has made at the same time decision. 而同时他也做出了决定。 No matter how, takes back the principle that the fief noble right will not undermine, this must the accurate expression to all noble, to demonstrate oneself to determination of new deal reform. If rebellion noble dares to start to the people, will then certainly pay the serious price for this reason. 不管如何,收回封地贵族的权利是绝不会动摇的原则,这点必须准确无误的表达给所有贵族,以显示自己对新政改革的决心。如果叛乱贵族敢对人民下手,那么必将为此付出惨重的代价。 ...... …… Enters the reception room, the envoy group, only then two people sit in a long table head, one of them should be Duke second son Kohl Kant, another person lets Roland at present slightly a bright-- that is an appearance beautiful female, should be the assistant of Knight Kohl evidently, but the imposing manner is more noticeable than Knight. 走进会客厅,使者团只有两人坐在长桌一头,其中一人应该就是公爵次子科尔.康德,另一人则让罗兰眼前微微一亮——那是一名容貌姣好的女子,看样子应该是科尔爵士的副手,但气势却比爵士本人更加引人注目。 Naturally, only by appearance words, witch is the most dazzling pearl, therefore Roland extremely has not cared, after all the assistant of this time is also likely acting the sweetheart or a maidservant kind of role. 当然,单论外貌的话,女巫才是最为耀眼的明珠,因此罗兰并没有太过在意,毕竟这个时代的助手很可能也扮演着情人或侍女一类的角色。 „Esteemed Your Majesty, I for the father to hello,” Kohl respectfully set out to salute, had indicated quickly own purpose in coming, „northern region Duke has a gift to give to you.” “尊敬的陛下,我代父亲向您好,”科尔恭敬地起身行礼,很快表明了自己的来意,“北境公爵有一份礼物想要送给您。”
