Moreover, that Alchemy store that in the middle of the hearsay was heavily in debt, early has managed prosperously, monopolizes the Thousand Sails City Alchemy business not to say thoroughly, nearby Jiyan City, will frequently have some merchants and mercenary will purchase the Alchemy goods from their there. 威廉梅林去了千帆城之后,立刻就发现情况不像自己想象的那样了,没错,玛法梅林确实是掌握着一条幽冥铁矿矿脉,但是却完全没有将这条幽冥铁矿矿脉转让出来的意思,而且,传闻当中负债累累的那间炼金商店,早已经经营得红红火火,彻底垄断千帆城的炼金生意不说,就连旁边的奇岩城,都经常会有一些商人和佣兵会从他们那里采购炼金物品。 Under the Merlin Family name itself has some Alchemy business, as Merlin Family Family Head Hofland, how can also not know the Alchemy business how sudden and huge profits...... 梅林家族名下本身就有一些炼金生意,作为梅林家族家主的霍夫兰,又怎么会不知道炼金生意多么暴利…… Let alone Jiyan City...... 别说奇岩城了…… Only monopolizes Thousand Sails City Alchemy business this point, is fearful, with rich described that is not overrated certainly, William Merlin had even said that takes a broad view at whole Thousand Sails City, can with the Mafe Merlin competion wealth, perhaps Monchi family that also only then manages the millenniums. 光是垄断千帆城炼金生意这一点,就非常可怕,用富甲一方来形容也绝不为过,威廉梅林甚至曾经说过,放眼整个千帆城,能够跟玛法梅林比拼财富的,恐怕也只有经营千年的蒙奇家族了。 Heard these matters time, Hofland actually has some regrets...... 听说这些事情的时候,霍夫兰其实是有一些后悔的…… If were initially earlier pays attention to Thousand Sails City, is earlier pays attention to Judd Merlin grandson, then now, can with Monchi family competion financial resource Mafe Merlin, perhaps already be Merlin Family. 如果当初自己早一些关注千帆城,早一些关注贾德梅林的孙子,那么现在,能与蒙奇家族比拼财力的玛法梅林,恐怕早就是梅林家族的一员了。 What a pity, says these now already without enough time...... 可惜,现在说这些都已经来不及了…… In the middle of the William Merlin letter explicitly indicated that Mafe Merlin regarding returning to Merlin Family, not too big interest, even some contradictions, if send for contacting rashly, perhaps also will cause the repugnance of opposite party. 威廉梅林的来信当中明确表示,玛法梅林对于回归梅林家族,并没有太大的兴趣,甚至是有一些抵触,如果自己贸然派人接触的话,说不定还会引起对方的反感。 Since therefore, Hofland Merlin again had not sent for toward Thousand Sails City, but makes William Merlin stay there, making him maintain the relations with Mafe Merlin as far as possible, at an appropriate time will convey the Merlin Family wish. 所以一直以来,霍夫兰梅林都没有再往千帆城派人,只是让威廉梅林留在那里,让他尽量跟玛法梅林搞好关系,在适当的时候转达一下梅林家族的意愿。 Because Hofland Merlin knows, oneself has missed the best opportunity...... 因为霍夫兰梅林知道,自己已经错过了最好的机会了…… The Mafe Merlin for 20 years grow up in Thousand Sails City, have not contacted Merlin Family anybody completely, especially after this, Roger Merlin has the perils of the sea, whole Flashing Gold Chamber of Commerce overnight goes bankrupt, at that time, almost depended entirely on a Mafe Merlin person to support. 玛法梅林20年来都是在千帆城长大,完全没有接触过梅林家族的任何人,特别是在这之后,罗格梅林发生海难,整个闪金商会都在一夜之间破产,那个时候,几乎是全靠玛法梅林一个人撑过来的。 Now, Mafe Merlin was rich, has let the wealth that Merlin Family is moved sufficiently, at this time sent for contacting again, will only make him feel that this is seizes his property in the stratagem. 现在,玛法梅林已经富甲一方,拥有了足以让梅林家族都为之动容的财富,这个时候自己再派人去接触,只会让他觉得这是在谋夺他的财产。 Mafe Merlin that in the final analysis, under this environment grows, impossible to regard itself the Merlin Family person radically. 说到底,这种环境之下成长起来的玛法梅林,根本就不可能把自己当成梅林家族的人。 Hofland as Merlin Family Family Head, compared with anybody must clearer this point. 霍夫兰身为梅林家族家主,比任何人都要更加清楚这一点。 Right, family influence truly maintains by the blood relationship, but if wants only to depend on the blood relationship, makes one have the big merchant of huge wealth to throw Merlin Family again, this matter, perhaps only then Elder Assembly these only know the old fogy who all day empty talk will think this possibility. 没错,家族势力确实是以血缘关系来维系的,但是如果想要只靠血缘关系,就让一个拥有庞大财富的大商人重投梅林家族,这种事情,恐怕只有长老会那些整天只知道空谈的老家伙才会认为有这个可能。 Hofland knows, wish makes Mafe Merlin re-enter Merlin Family, the road is very long is very long...... 霍夫兰知道,想要让玛法梅林重回梅林家族,路还很长很长…… Fortunately, waited painstakingly for several months later, Hofland waits till an opportunity finally. 还好,苦等了几个月之后,霍夫兰终于等到一个机会。 William Merlin has brought back to an astonishing news. 威廉梅林带回了一个惊人的消息。 Mafe Merlin wants to enter the Merlin Family ancestor place! 玛法梅林想要进入梅林家族祖地！ This regarding Merlin Family, is once in a thousand years opportunity...... 这对于梅林家族来说,可是千载难逢的机会…… This is almost obvious...... 这几乎是明摆着的…… Although the Merlin Family ancestor does not go in easily, but that also regarding average person, true Merlin Family core juniors, which also there is not to enter the ancestor place?
