「I-I deeply apologize.」
"我,我深表歉意。"
The bespectacled male receptionist pressed himself against the counter, as he apologized to me. When I asked the reason…
面容俊朗的男接待員一邊向我道歉,一邊把身子貼在櫃檯上。當我問起原因時......
「Um… we've confirmed those are indeed Trident Serpent materials. But you see. With this Guild's scale, we don't deal with monster materials of that level, and when it comes to Trident Serpents, just what standard could we use to price them…」
"嗯......我們已經確認那些確實是三叉戟蛇的材料。但是你看以本公會的規模,我們不經營這種級別的怪物材料,說到三叉戟大蛇,我們又能用什麼標準來定價呢......"
They had never dealt with it before, so they had no idea what sum to put up.
他們從來沒有打過交道,所以根本不知道該拿出多少錢來。
Miranda, who'd come to the Guild with me spoke to the receptionist.
和我一起來公會的米蘭達對接待員說。
「Where is the largest Guild in Cartaffs? Do you think they will buy it?」
"卡塔夫斯最大的行會在哪裡?你覺得他們會買下它嗎?"
The receptionist spoke apologetically.
接待員不好意思地開口了。
「If you just want to sell them, anywhere would work. But I can't say anything to a fair price… and it's uncertain what those materials would be suited to; it's unknown if they have any use in manufacturing at all. If you sell them, both sides may be unsatisfied with this transaction, so most Guilds will be reluctant to deal in them. What's more, the objectives of the Guilds of Cartaffs aren't as flexible as others.」
"如果你只想賣掉它們,任何地方都可以。但我無法給出一個合理的價格......而且這些材料不知道適合做什麼,在製造業中有沒有用處也是個未知數。如果你賣掉它們,交易雙方可能都不滿意,所以大多數行會都不願意交易它們。更何況,卡塔夫行會的目標不像其他行會那麼靈活。"
Perhaps having regulations more severe than others was Cartaffs' characteristic. Within the countries Guilds, it seems such a policy had been taken up.
也許比其他行會的規定更嚴格是卡塔夫斯的特點。……(內容加載失敗!請重載或更換瀏覽器)
