Has city main palace Envoy, has brought an invitation!” Anna knocked on a door, after obtaining Leylin allows to come. “主人！有城主府的使者,带来了一份请柬！”安娜敲了敲门,在得到雷林允许后进来。 This time she, reason that because had already been attempted to pervert by Magus, the facial features were the same with before, did not have what change. 此时的她,因为早已被巫师做过手脚的原因,面容还是和之前一样,丝毫没有什么变化。 „Invitation?” Some Leylin doubts, he and Jack Viscount always does not have anything to relate. “请柬？”雷林有些疑惑,他和杰克逊子爵一向没什么联系。 Received looks, „meeting?

I informed the imperial family with raven the situation last year, what a pity has not replied to the present...... I did not have the means!” 杰克逊子爵却是苦笑:“朋友们！我去年已经将情况用渡鸦报知了皇室,可惜到现在还是没有回复……我是毫无办法了！” „Imperial family?” Leylin actually moves at heart, behind the imperial family of swale duchy is Black Bone Forest Academy is supporting, relation between both are complicated, this duty appears in Black Bone Forest Academy finally, is not strange. “皇室？”雷林心里却是一动,沼地公国的皇室背后就是黑骨林学院在支持,两者之间的联系千丝万缕,这个任务最后出现在黑骨林学院里面,也就不稀奇了。 Then, he is Black Bone Forest sends to solve this matter's candidate, has actually been loaf to idle, finally compels Jack to abdicate Viscount not to have the means that invited these Apprentice. 说起来,他还是黑骨林派出来解决此事的人选,却一直偷懒懈怠,才最后逼得杰克逊子爵没办法,请来这些学徒。 Although at heart some forced smiles, but the Leylin surface old god, was carrying one cup of black tea drink to drink one, the idea of completely not having confessed. 虽然心里有些苦笑,但雷林表面老神在在,端起一杯红茶饮料喝了一口,完全没有招认的想法。 „Just is high-energy creature that pollutes similarly, did Liancheng Lord Lord unable to solve?” Middle-aged Apprentice of red hair asked. “只不过是一只类似污染的高能生物而已,连城主大人都解决不了么？”一个红头发的中年学徒问道。 Leylin knows this person, he opened a clothing store in Night City extremely, in manor many clothing, purchases from his shop. 雷林认识这人,他在极夜城里面开了一家服饰商店,庄园里面的许多衣物,还是从他的店里采购的。 The residents in city know that the boss in dressmaker is a temperate middle-aged person, a pretty daughter, actually never knows that he is also Magus. 城市的居民都知道服饰店的老板是个温和的中年人,还有一个漂亮的女儿,却从来不知道他也是巫师。 „To be honest, I before on to act! Also struck to kill creature of similar lizard, what a pity completely has not helped regarding the withered event!” “说实话,我之前就出手过了！也击杀了一头类似蜥蜴的生物,可惜对于枯萎事件完全没有帮助！” Jack abdicates the Viscount booth to let go. 杰克逊子爵摊摊手。 „Now, the range of withered woods expanded two village sizes, if not solve, sooner or later will spread to the entire dark night forest, when the time comes, we let us not want to harvest from there to raw material for medicine again!” “现在,枯萎树林的范围已经扩大到了两个村庄大小,如果再不解决的话,迟早会蔓延到整个暗夜森林,到时候,我们别想从那里再收获到一颗药材！” Jack abdicates Viscount to get hold of the double fist. 杰克逊子爵握紧双拳。 The raw material for medicine business is extremely the Night City economic pillar, every year the city main palace will gather the high quota from this inside the gold coins tax revenue, now income sharp decline, no wonder Jack abdicates Viscount unable to sit still. 药材买卖是极夜城的经济支柱,每年城主府都会从这里面收取高额的金币税收,现在收入锐减,也难怪杰克逊子爵坐不住。 „Can make us have a look at the body material of that lizard?” Mer Fayle asked. “可以让我们看看那头蜥蜴的身体材料么？”梅尔菲勒问道。 „Ok!” Viscount Lord claps, a maidservant of golden yellow hair holds Silver Plate to go forward, above has suspended some brown scales. “可以！”子爵大人拍拍手,一个金黄色头发的侍女捧着一个银盘上前,上面摆了一些土黄色的鳞片。 Apprentice present went forward to take up a piece of observation, Leylin also takes one piece to place in the control. 在座的学徒纷纷上前拿起一片观察,雷林也取了一片放在手心里。 „A.I. Chip! Examination!” The thumb sizes of some brown scale people, ice ice-cold to be cool. “芯片！检测！”土黄色鳞片有人的拇指大小,冰冰凉凉。 „Pollutes the scale of creature doubtful, it is estimated that for the variety of swale lizard! The surface has the micro radiation, the material quality is quite chaotic, the molecular structure was destroyed by the ruination, cannot be any material use!” “疑似污染生物的鳞片,估计为沼地蜥蜴的变种！表面具有微量辐射,材质极为混乱,分子结构遭到毁灭性破坏,不能作为任何材料使用！” A.I. Chip will scan the information feedback. 芯片将扫描信息反馈回来。 „No wonder canyon inside Magus also nobody to act! This creature within the body absolutely does not have the place that Magus can use, whole body to add unable to sell together magic crystals, who will do the matter of this doing a thankless job!” “难怪峡谷里面的巫师也没有人出手！这种生物体内完全没有巫师可以利用的地方,全身上下加起来也卖不出一块魔石,谁会干这种吃力不讨好的事情！” Leylin somewhat understands suddenly that Magus is one group of benefit supreme people, not having the matter of advantage not to do. 雷林突然有些明白过来,巫师都是一群利益至上的人,没有好处的事情是不会干的。 Withered woods near extremely Night City, the creature material that if in really some benefits, or Magus likes, in Magus by canyon transaction place was already trampled flat. 枯萎树林就在极夜城边上,如果里面真的有一些利益,或者巫师喜欢的生物材料,早就被峡谷交易地点里面的巫师踏平了。 Since can exist, can only explain a point, that inside does not have the benefit, only then troubles, or the to act income cannot be as good as the consumption, cannot solve. 能存在至今,只能说明一点,那里面没有利益,只有麻烦,或者说出手的收入抵不上耗费,才一直没能解决。 „Was a pity! It is not high-energy creature that Magus needs, but is a pollution body! Is useless to Magus!” Mer Fayle put out a thing of similar magnifying glass to watch long time, obtained finally with the Leylin same conclusion. “可惜了！不是巫师需要的高能生物,而是一种污染体！对巫师没什么用！”梅尔菲勒拿出一个类似放大镜的东西观看良久,最后得出了和雷林一样的结论。 „What kind of? Has the means?” Jack abdicates Viscount to look at the people with vision of hope. “怎么样？有办法么？”杰克逊子爵用希冀的目光看着众人。 „Most pollution bodies are because the habitat has the drastic change to form, before has not gone in -site exploratory tour, I cannot draw any conclusion! And, I do not think that this creature causes the murderer of withered event!” “多数的污染体都是由于生长环境发生剧变而形成的,在没有进行实地考察之前,我不能得出任何结论！并且,我不认为这种生物是导致枯萎事件的真凶！” Mer Fayle shook the head. 梅尔菲勒摇了摇头。 „I am willing to leave everyone 30 magic crystals, the sur- five thousand gold coins price, please survey, what kind of? This is my request! Looks in the share of old friend!” “我愿意出每人30块魔石,外加五千金币的价格,请你们去探测一下,怎么样？这是我的请求！看在老朋友的份上！” Jack abdicated Viscount to look, saw that other Magus Apprentice were the appearances that an interest lacked, clenched teeth to say. 杰克逊子爵看了一圈,见到其它巫师学徒都是一副兴致缺缺的样子,不由咬牙说着。 „Since is city main trouble, I am certainly bounden!” “既然是城主的麻烦,我当然义不容辞！” Mer Fayle is somewhat helpless. 梅尔菲勒有些无奈。
