Before Fat Merchant, does not have to change slightly. 胖商人和之前没有丝毫变化。 When he enters the hall, when sees the Rhodes' form, Metz has shown immediately a warm smiling face, then he arrives in front of Rhodes', has gripped his hand warmly. 当他走进大厅,看见罗德的身影时,梅斯立刻就露出了一个热情的笑容,接着他来到罗德的面前,热情的握住了他的手。 „Aiya, is really long time no see, Mr. Rhodes. Although I was listen to the person to mention you to go to Land of Redemption, has not actually thought that you one went to such a long time unexpectedly, really let me and others the good pain.” “哎呀,真是好久不见了,罗德先生。虽然我是听人说起过你去了赎罪之地,却没有想到你一去居然去了这么长时间啊,真是让我等的好苦。” „Mr. Metz, is really long time no see.” “梅斯先生,真是好久不见了。” Shakes the hand of Fat Merchant, in the Rhodes surface is not having the slight expression, in his look is bringing some despondance actually. 握着胖商人的手,罗德面上没有丝毫的表情,不过他的眼神中倒是带着些许的抑郁。 „I also think that you did not plan cooperated with me.” “我还以为你不打算来和我合作了。” „Hahaha, Mr. Rhodes may really crack a joke.” “哈哈哈,罗德先生可真是会开玩笑。” Heard Rhodes saying that Metz somewhat awkwardly has smiled, he knows certainly what Rhodes finger/refers was anything. However also the words said, this is also own issue. Must know that present range Midsummer Festival finished passes was so long, actually Metz also at heart somewhat beat a drum, oneself present will visit is also welcome by the opposite party, but looks at Rhodes now this appearance, had not planned that will expel itself the meaning that the gate will go, this Fat Merchant has installed the heart actually. 听见罗德这么说,梅斯有些尴尬的笑了起来,他当然知道罗德指的是什么。不过也话说起来,这也是自己的问题。要知道现在距离仲夏祭结束都过去这么久了,其实梅斯自己也是心里有些打鼓,自己现在上门是不是还会受到对方的欢迎,不过看罗德现在这个样子,并没有打算把自己赶出门去的意思,这个胖商人倒是安下了心来。 merchant mostly is the face thick-skinned such as the generation of city wall, otherwise does not have the means to do business, since Rhodes has not raised, then Metz naturally silly to will again not say that this foolish matter, he has hit, spoke thoughtlessly to uncover this matter, but Rhodes again has not actually seized the chance to strike his anything, because he was also very clear, this Fat Merchant arrived here, explained his idea. 商人大多都是脸皮厚如城墙之辈,否则也没有办法去做生意的,既然罗德没提,那么梅斯自然就更不会傻到再去说这种蠢事,他打了个哈哈,就将这件事随口揭过,而罗德却也没有再趁机敲打他什么,因为他也很明白,这个胖商人自己来到这里,就已经说明了他的想法。 Quick, under Rhodes' greeting, two people sits well in the hall. Quick had to be artificial two people to carry the tea, afterward both sides sat well. Quick, Rhodes directly entered the subject. 很快,在罗德的招呼之下,两人在大厅坐定。很快就有人为两人端上了茶水,随后双方坐定。很快,罗德就直接进入了正题。 „Since Mr. Metz arrived here, then thinks that you have made the decision?” “既然梅斯先生来到这里,那么想必你已经做出决定了？” „This is natural, Mr. Rhodes.” “这是当然的,罗德先生。” Metz has not concealed but actually. He knows that in front of this youngster, should not circle too many curved to circle, but, makes this decision, made Metz feel embarrassed really for a long time. Such that after all just like Rhodes expects. He takes was too ruthless, but the south that the southerner on Midsummer Festival offended as second largest financial commercial center of Moon Dukedom besides Golden City, regarding many business was quite important. Once Metz decision and Rhodes cooperation, is conceivable, in the near future, oneself will become entire south most unpopular merchant. 梅斯倒也没有隐瞒。他知道在这个年轻人面前,最好还是别绕太多的弯弯绕,只不过,做出这个决定,也着实让梅斯为难了许久。毕竟正如罗德所预料的那样。他在仲夏祭上把南方人得罪的太狠了,而南方作为穆恩公国除了黄金城之外的第二大金融商贸中心,对于很多商家来说都是相当重要的。一旦梅斯决定和罗德合作,那么可以想象,在不远的将来,自己将会成为整个南方最不受欢迎的商人。 Naturally, merchant this type is friendly disposition leads to wealth. Looked that you are not pleasing to the eyes not to be direct to begin, but puts in order your, or frames in secret, joins up to force you to sell shoplifting matter lowly, they do not to be unambiguous. But these regarding Chamber of Commerce. What is really very fatal matter. 当然,商人这种都是和气生财。看你不顺眼了也不会直接上来动手,但是整你一下,或者暗中陷害,联合起来迫使你低卖高买这种事情,他们做起来可是一点都不含糊的。而这些对于一个商会来说。的确是非常致命的事情。 However Metz after pondering for a long time was very very long, finally decided, accepts the Rhodes' invitation. 但是梅斯在思考了很久很久之后,最终还是决定,接受罗德的邀请。 As merchant, Metz very keen discovery, this transaction not only has the enormous risk, has the considerable high profit and political interest! 作为一个商人,梅斯很敏锐的发现,这个交易不但有着极大的风险,也有着相当高的利润和政治利益！ First. This Mr. Rhodes now is Mercenary Guild Guild Leader, then from the truth, he can be Parfield Plains half Master. At least in the future here will handle matters not to have any big hindrance. But in another aspect, do not look that this Starlight Guild just established, political resource that but it has, is actually who does not compare! Miss Marlene is Shenia Family successor, this everybody was very clear. Those who let Metz not think, initially and together that Healer that fled from calamity from airship. Unexpectedly is Younger Sister of Sir Lydia! 首先。这位罗德先生现在是一个佣兵公会的会长,那么从道理上来说,他可以算是帕菲尔德平原的半个主人。至少日后在这里自己办事起来不会有什么大的阻碍。而在另外一个方面,别看这个星光公会才刚刚建立,但是它所拥有的政治资源,却是谁都比不上的！玛琳小姐是仙妮亚家族的继承人,这点大家都很清楚了。让梅斯没有想到的是,当初和自己一起从浮空船上逃难出来的那个灵师。居然是莉蒂亚大人的妹妹！ Although from the present, Grand Duke Lydia has not planned by own Younger Sister involvement political circle. However regarding Metz such merchant, even if Leiya does not involve the political circle for a lifetime, so long as her status also , the political interest that then she represents is unable to neglect. If can maintain the relations with these two people, then regarding own Chamber of Commerce, naturally is of great advantage. Especially Marlene Shenia, Shenia, but in Moon Dukedom the first great magic family, if can pull to get online with them, then in the future source of wealth billowing simply is not the issue. Say nothing of Shenia Family spreads the entire Dukedom personal connection, is the incomparable giant resources. 虽然从现在来看,莉蒂亚大公没打算让自己的妹妹介入政治圈内。但是对于梅斯这样的商人来说,哪怕莉洁一辈子不介入政治圈,只要她的身份还在,那么她所代表的政治利益就是无法忽视的。而如果能够和这两个人搞好关系的话,那么对于自己的商会,自然是大有好处的。特别是玛琳.仙妮亚,仙妮亚可是穆恩公国内第一大魔法家族,如果能够和他们牵上线的话,那么日后财源滚滚根本就不是问题。更不用说仙妮亚家族遍及整个公国的人脉,更是无可比拟的巨大资源。 Rhodes oneself, although so far, has wide divided opinions regarding this youngster real status everybody, only what can affirm, this youngster absolutely is not ordinary character, can defeat three big Mercenary Guild Master people, who dares saying that he is mortal? Say nothing, recently also the hearsay his subordinate/hand had two Legendary Domain subordinate ———, although the rumor possibly has the place of exaggeration, but can dispatch expert Noble but is very few. Thinks that deep, why Shenia Family will tacitly consent to own successor and do not know origin youngster does mix up? Must know that both sides may be the young men and women, a man and a woman together alone, the time grew will have the baseless rumor unavoidably. Regarding a Shenia such respected family, does it possibly permit own successor makes such „having no sense of shame” the matter? 还有罗德本人,虽然直到目前为止,对于这个年轻人的真实身份大家都是众说纷纭,但是唯一可以肯定的是,这个年轻人绝对不是什么普通的人物,一个能够打败三大佣兵公会会长的人,谁敢说他是个凡人呢？更不用说,最近还传闻他手下拥有两个传奇领域的部下———虽然传言可能有夸大之处,但是能够差遣强者的贵族可是少之又少。更想深一层,仙妮亚家族为什么会默许自己的继承人和一个不知来历的年轻人混在一起呢？要知道双方可都是年轻男女,孤男寡女的,时间长了难免会有风言风语。对于仙妮亚这么一个大家族来说,它怎么可能允许自己的继承人做出这么“不知羞耻”的事情呢？ This naturally is impossible, but, Shenia Family, since had tacitly consented to Marlene keeps side Rhodes, keeps Mercenary Guild, then very much may explain that this Rhodes' origin possibly is also ancient, even noble family. But as the matter stands, the contact of both sides cannot drop the Shenia Family reputation, more possible is a start of power-and-power union! 这当然是不可能的,但是,仙妮亚家族既然默许了玛琳留在罗德身边,留在一个佣兵公会,那么就很有可能说明这个罗德的出身也可能是个非常古老,甚至高贵的家族。而这样一来,双方的交往不会堕了仙妮亚家族的名声,更可能是一种强强联合的开始！ Although has not known that actually behind Rhodes' is any family, but Metz believes, own investment, will definitely not repay. 虽然还不知道罗德的背后究竟是什么家族,但是梅斯相信,自己的投资,肯定不会是毫无回报的。 Naturally, these are the underlying interests, but is most directly most practical, before is, Rhodes once to Metz has promised the transaction of magic potion! 当然,这些都是潜在的利益,而最直接最实际的,则就是之前罗德曾经向梅斯许诺过的魔法药剂的交易！ This is the business that most makes money! On Dragon Soul Continent, the magic potion quantity are not many, however their prices are expensive, although said that Healer also similarly can treat the illness to save the patient, moreover others have not collected fees. However regarding many people, they, if ran up to the mountain to take risk to break the leg, or what disease ——— wasn't careful manifests suddenly you always the impossible prospect to have Healer one day suddenly 24 hours in your side not? 这可是最赚钱的买卖啊！在龙魂大陆上,魔法药剂的数量并不多,但是它们的价格都非常昂贵,虽然说灵师也同样可以治病救人,而且人家还不收费。但是对于很多人来说,他们要是跑到山里冒险摔断了腿,或者不小心突然发作了什么疾病———你总不可能指望有个灵师一天24小时都在你身边不是么？ Therefore in magic potion besides the treatment, some can the intensify ability, even improves constitution, or has Special Effect potion. These put in the market are the exceptionally marketable goods. Before making decision, Metz had made a computation, even if Rhodes every month only to oneself 20 bottles of magic potion, the profit that then earns, enough withstood/top oneself Chamber of Commerce three months of receiving of! 所以魔法药剂中除了治疗之外,还有一些可以增强能力,甚至改善体质,或者拥有特殊效果的药剂。这些放到市场上都是异常抢手的货色。在做出决定之前,梅斯曾经做过一次计算,哪怕罗德每个月只给自己20瓶魔法药剂,那么赚取来的利润,就足够顶自己商会三个月的收入了！ Regarding merchant. Rich does not gain the bastard, therefore finally, Metz has made the decision. 对于商人来说。有钱不赚王八蛋啊,于是最终,梅斯还是做出了决定。 „I am come to here to reply to you, Mr. Rhodes ......... Our Silver Libra Chamber of Commerce, is willing to accept your invitation.” “我是来这里向您回复的,罗德先生………我们银色天枰商会,愿意接受您的邀请。” Said here. Metz to smiling of Rhodes flatters. Then, he has put out sheet of paper from the bosom, has placed in front of Rhodes'. 说道这里。梅斯冲罗德讨好的笑了笑。接着,他从怀中拿出了一张纸,放在了罗德的面前。 „I do not know how you planned, Mr. Rhodes, therefore I initially have drawn up an agreement and flow, but also hopes that you can have a look ...............” “我是不知道您如何打算的,罗德先生,所以我只是初步拟定了一个协议和流程,还希望你能够看看……………” „This, I will certainly look.” “这个,我当然会看。” Rhodes took up Metz to place itself in front of that sheet of paper. However although on his mouth was saying, but in the hand actually non-stop has squeezed in own bosom the paper directly, afterward, Rhodes then looks to Metz. 罗德拿起了梅斯放在自己面前的那张纸。但是他嘴上虽然说着,但是手上却不停的直接将纸塞入了自己的怀里,随后,罗德这才望向梅斯。 „But, before then. Mr. Metz, I have a matter to talk clearly with you first.” “不过,在这之前。梅斯先生,我有一件事情想要先和你说清楚。” „What matter?” “什么事？” Sees the Rhodes so serious appearance, Metz can't help gawking, then somewhat hesitates and worry asked. But facing his inquiry, Rhodes has knocked the table, after silent for a moment. His then started talking. 看见罗德如此严肃的样子,梅斯不由的愣了一下,接着有些迟疑和担心的开口询问道。而面对他的询问,罗德则是敲了敲桌子,沉默片刻之后。他这才开口说道。 „Before we had discussed candidly one time, but now, you, since has decided. Then I want regarding the ally, we not to conceal the necessity ............... About the relations between your Chamber of Commerce and our Mercenary Guild, what view do you have? Mr. Metz?” “之前我们已经开诚布公的谈论过一次,但是现在,你既然已经决定了。那么我想对于盟友,我们也没有隐瞒了必要……………关于贵商会和我们佣兵公会之间的关系,你有什么看法？梅斯先生？” „This ...............” “这个……………” Hears here, Metz complexion slightly changed. 听到这里,梅斯的面色微微一变。 „I can tell you straightforwardly, reason that Mr. Metz, we choice and your Chamber of Commerce cooperation. Most main is we need to maintain our guild own operation taking advantage of the fund that this comes. However ......... About our guild matter, is under the charge to us. Relations between we and your Chamber of Commerce, are not relations between that Mercenary Guild and Chamber of Commerce, do you understand my meaning?” “我可以直截了当的告诉你,梅斯先生,我们之所以选择和贵商会合作。最主要的就是我们需要借此而来的资金维持我们公会自身的运作。但是………关于我们公会本身的事情,还是由我们自己负责。我们和贵商会之间的关系,并不是那种佣兵公会和商会之间的关系,你明白我的意思吗？” „.....................” “…………………” Hears here, Metz can't help but was silent. 听到这里,梅斯不由的沉默了。 When goes to Golden City, he had discussed then this issue with Rhodes one time, but that time, Rhodes has not said own true meaning, he expected that between both sides can cooperate, but now, Rhodes directly confesses own meaning ——— he not to let Starlight Guild like other Mercenary Guild, receives controlling of bankroller. On the contrary, own Chamber of Commerce instead became the becoming wealthy weapon of opposite party, from some perspective, even can regard as the Starlight Guild subordinate institution own Chamber of Commerce, specially makes money for this guild also right. 在前往黄金城的时候,他曾经和罗德就这个问题谈论过一次,只不过那一次,罗德并没有说出自己的真意,他只是期望双方之间能够合作,而现在,罗德则是直接坦白出了自己的意思———他并不会让星光公会像其他佣兵公会那样,受到资助者的节制。相反,自己的商会反而成为了对方的生财武器,从某个方面来说,甚至可以将自己的商会看成了星光公会的下属机构,专门为这个公会赚钱的也没错。 Before hearing Rhodes confessed that some Metz deep in one's heart expectations, after all the person had own right **, although said that Rhodes' influence was bigger, but through the circulation of fund, Metz has also thought whether could affect or asks Starlight Guild to help itself handle something to a certain extent. However now looks like, the matter so is not as if simple. „I understand your meaning, Mr. Rhodes, but ......... confessed that this to our Chamber of Commerce, was really not a perfect choice.” 在听到罗德坦白之前,梅斯内心深处还是有些期望的,毕竟人都有自己的权利**,虽然说罗德的势力比自己大很多,但是通过资金的流通,梅斯也曾经想过自己能否在一定程度上影响或者请星光公会帮助自己做一些事情。但是现在看起来,事情似乎并没有这么简单。“我明白您的意思,罗德先生,但是………坦白来说,这对我们商会来说,实在并不是一个完美的选择。” „My very clear this point.” “我很清楚这一点。” Facing the reply of Metz, nodded of Rhodes very understanding. 面对梅斯的回答,罗德非常了解的点了点头。 „As the collaborator, we also has certainly the duty to help your Chamber of Commerce ......... If your Chamber of Commerce has any demand or difficult, we will also do everything possible.” “作为合作者,我们当然也有义务帮助贵商会………如果贵商会有什么需求或者困难的话,我们也会尽力而为的。” „This is good.” “这样就好。” Hears here, Metz has shown a smiling face finally. At this time he had also thought through, originally did not expect that like other Chamber of Commerce, became the Mercenary Guild mastermind. This is not after all realistic, has a look at the constitution of this Mercenary Guild, among the member family background with them, where this is character that can operate? Like the present, pins under the protective umbrella of opposite party, is a very good choice. 听到这里,梅斯终于露出了一丝笑容。这个时候他也想通了,原本自己就不期望像其他商会那样,成为佣兵公会的幕后操纵者。这毕竟太不现实了,看看这个佣兵公会的构成,和他们当中的成员家族背景,这哪里是自己可以操纵的人物呢？像现在这样,寄托在对方的保护伞之下,也不失为一个很好的选择。 Thinks of here, Metz can't help but stands up, extended own hand toward Rhodes. 想到这里,梅斯不由站起身来,向着罗德伸出了自己的手。 „, The cooperation is so happy, Mr. Rhodes.” “那么,合作愉快,罗德先生。” PS: Three, three, everybody's bill summoned! { , } PS:三更,三更哦,大家的票票召唤了！{飘天文学感谢各位书友的支持,您的支持就是我们最大的动力}
