Niris looks at Richard, has not refuted, no longer requests the further explanation. 尼瑞斯只是看着李察,并沒有反驳,也不再要求进一步的解释。 Understands her like Richard, she also understands Richard, if really does not have anything at the worst, how Richard resolutely will withdraw from Sacred Alliance, chooses into the independent aristocrat, this is the difficult path that is next to founds a nation. 就象李察了解她一样,她也了解李察,若真是沒什么大不了的,李察又怎么会毅然退出神圣同盟,选择成为独立贵族,这是一条仅次于立国的艰难道路。 Now two Great Emperor national capitals are striving for Richard, has given his certain cushion time, when the Richard explicit rejection, or is two big empires exhausts patiently, then their manner clearly will be opposite. 现在两大帝国都在争取李察,也就给了他一定的缓冲时间,可是当李察明确拒绝,或者是两大帝国耐心耗尽,那么他们的态度就会截然相反。 But before that what Richard must first face is Sacred Alliance, which empire without will tolerate own Great Noble to be separated, historically aristocrat each successful independence, is the first suzerain has experienced a war inevitably. 而在那之前,李察首先要面对的是神圣同盟,沒有哪个帝国会容忍自己的大贵族脱离,历史上贵族每一次成功的独立,必然是和前宗主国经历过一场大战。 In the world of aristocrat, status and right always hit. 在贵族的世界里,地位和权利从來都是打出來的。 Niris except for giving a Richard hug, only has been able to use own way to repay Richard, she must ordinary Archeron such work likely, fights. 尼瑞斯除了给了李察一个拥抱,就只能用自己的方式來回报李察,她要象个普通阿克蒙德那样去工作,去战斗。 When Richard to Blackrose Castle third day, Sauron, Goliath and Alice this past Archeron three giants arrived at Blackrose Castle, has held a secret meeting. 当李察到了黑玫瑰城堡第三天,索伦、哥利亚和艾莉婕这昔日阿克蒙德的三巨头就都來到黑玫瑰城堡,举行了一个秘密会议。 Richard narrated in detail on the same day in all that in the mirror hall had, then said: „Therefore, I do not have the escape route.” 李察详细讲述了当天在镜厅内发生的一切,然后说:“所以,我沒有退路。” Goliath and Alice expressed the support, but Sauron inquired about some details, even traced before it happened, including Richard and empress several many meeting. 哥利亚和艾莉婕都表示赞同,而索伦则询问了一些细节,甚至追溯到事发之前,包括李察与女皇几次不多的见面。 The Sauron thinking moment, said: „I believe that Indefiniteness your majesty is early deliberate, she is aiming at our Archeron, if not the matter of Your Highness Niris, will have other excuses.” 索伦思索片刻,才说:“我认为,无定陛下早有预谋,她就是在针对我们阿克蒙德,如果不是尼瑞斯殿下的事,也会有其它借口。” „Reason.” Goliath asked immodestly that he and Sauron relate are not quite always good, even if were the date does not fall the defense post-war, their no longer in the back mutually under evil behind-the-scenes manipulator, only maintained gentle on face. “理由呢。”哥利亚不客气地问,他和索伦关系一向不太好,哪怕是日不落防卫战后,两人不再背地里互下黑手,也只保持了一个面子上的平和。 Marquis Sauron said: „Super powerhouse perhaps is a lunatic, but will not be the fool.” 索伦侯爵说:“超级强者或许是疯子,但绝不会是傻瓜。” Goliath is thinking deeply about these words repeatedly, for a while suddenly cannot discover the reason that can refute. 哥利亚反复思索着这句话,一时竟然找不出可以反驳的理由。 Richard lifts the hand to hint everybody to be peaceful, then said: „The present is to make the decision time, I withdrew from Sacred Alliance voluntarily, but you actually do not need so, if willing with me to stand, unusual welcome, but must prepare for losing territory, we will possibly go through an arduous course, but also possibly uneventful passed this disturbance, regardless of now makes what choice, is not the issue, I forever will regard as of family you, once has made the choice, easily cannot change, even if you will want to change, perhaps will not have the opportunity.” 李察抬手示意大家安静,然后说:“现在是做决定的时候了,我自愿退出神圣同盟,但你们却不必如此,如果愿意和我站在一起,非常欢迎,但是要做好失去领地的准备,我们可能会经历一段艰苦卓绝的历程,但也可能风平浪静的度过这段风波,现在无论作何选择,都不是问題,我永远会把你们视为家族的一员,只是一旦做了选择,就不是可以轻易更改的了,就算你们想要更改,恐怕也沒有机会。” „I choose this side you.” Alice said. “我选择你这一边。”艾莉婕率先说。 Goliath hesitant moment, shows an even a little terrifying smiling face, said: „With the young fellow of Gordon in the same place, the opportunity that should go to war are quite many.” 哥利亚犹豫了片刻,露出一个甚至有点恐怖的笑容,说:“和歌顿家的小伙子在一起,应该打仗的机会比较多。” Only remaining Sauron. 只剩下索伦了。 The marquis said slowly: „I will keep Sacred Alliance.” 侯爵缓缓地说:“我会留在神圣同盟。” Richard nodded, said: „Good, the territory that then I overcome in the northwest boundary will give you, as the exchange, I must obtain you in the complete territory near Far Gazing Peninsula.” Although Richard controlled Far Gazing Peninsula, but some surrounding Lesser Lord in name Sauron dependencies. 李察点了点头,说:“好,那么我在西北边界打下的领地会交给你,作为交换,我要得到你在远望半岛附近的全部领地。”虽然李察控制住了远望半岛,但是外围一些小领主名义上还是索伦的附庸。 „This does not have the issue.” Sauron complied without hesitation. “这沒问題。”索伦毫不犹豫地答应了。 Richard territory area that overcomes in the northwest boundary is big enough, but has almost not developed, but Far Gazing Peninsula and territory in mainland bordering on place was humanity has actually settled down over a thousand years of lively region, what Richard now need was the strategic depth and strategic foothold. 李察在西北边界打下的领地面积足够大,但几乎沒有怎么开发,而远望半岛与大陆接壤处的领地却是人类已经定居了上千年的繁华区域,不过李察现在需要的是战略纵深和战略据点。 „I can also obtain the information from your here from now on.” Richard asked. “那我今后还能够从您这里得到情报吗。”李察问。 „As before, what is only different, the information price will improve.” Marquis Sauron showed a faint smile saying that „a price that and forming an alliance family did not attain.” “和以前一样,惟一不同的是,情报的价格会有所提高。”索伦侯爵微微一笑说,“和不结盟家族拿到的一个价。” „Does not have the issue.” Richard replied. “沒问題。”李察回答。 Marquis Sauron thinks, said: „I small requests, my son, Suarez, you have also seen, Richard, I want to deliver to your here him, he will change the name and status, from now, in the Sauron lead(er), Suarez died, my this son also calculates a little use, in the leading troops aspect is qualified.” 索伦侯爵想了想,又说:“我还有一个小小的请求,我的儿子,苏亚,你是见过的,李察,我想把他送到你这里,他会改换名字和身份,从此以后,在索伦领,苏亚就已经死了,我这个儿子还算有点用处,在带兵方面算是合格。” Richard said with a nod: „I will give him fairly with the opportunity.” 李察点头道:“我会给他公平和机会。” Sauron shows the smiling face, the wrinkle on face is deep likely is the gully, he puts out a hand, closely grasps with Richard in the same place. 索伦露出笑容,脸上的皱纹深得象是沟壑,他伸手,与李察紧紧地握在一起。 „Goes on living in Sacred Alliance, lives again well.” Richard said. “在神圣同盟里活下去,再活得好点。”李察说。 „My meeting, you must return to Faust earlier.” “我会的,你也要早点回浮世德。” The matter agreed that Sauron, Goliath and Alice in abundance leave, returned to the territory to arrange respectively, the following matter also had, the connection territory and division jointly develop industry and comforting dependency, need to be completed in the shortest time. 事情议定,索伦、哥利亚和艾莉婕就纷纷离开,各自回领地安排去了,后面的事情还有很多,交接领地、分割共同开发的产业、安抚附庸,都需要在最短的时间里完成。 In the Richard territory has gathered large army, but Blackrose Castle was still at half opening condition, Legendary Powerhouse still in the Giant Dragon Plane risk, their accompanying more and more go to Faelor through Blackrose Castle transmission. 李察的领地内屯集了重兵,但黑玫瑰古堡仍处于半开放状态,传奇强者们依然在巨龙位面冒险,他们的随从则越來越多地通过黑玫瑰古堡的传送阵前往法罗。 Then some time, Richard knows that this possibly is the final peaceful day, he calculates the time, decides to leave to go to Millennium Empire Imperial Capital \; first, to attend auction, another matter also for Sacrificial Offering. 接下來一段时间,李察知道,这可能是最后的安静日子,他算算时间,决定动身前往千年帝国帝都,一是为了参加拍卖会,另一件事也是为了献祭。 Withdrew from Sacred Alliance, does not mean that Richard does not have the Sacrificial Offering channel, so long as is not the service condition, according to the convention, he can pay certain handling charge, through Nowlan, or is the Iron Blood Grand Duke and other Floating Island rich and powerful families carries on Sacrificial Offering, but Richard is actually not willing to return to Faust again. 退出了神圣同盟,并不意味着李察沒有献祭渠道,只要不是战时状态,按照惯例,他可以缴纳一定手续费,通过诺兰,或者是铁血大公等浮岛豪门进行献祭,但是李察却不愿意再回浮世德。 One day in the future, he will come back, but will come back in another way. 将來有一天,他会回來,但会以另一种方式回來。 Richard has not brought any to accompany with follower, has raised the simple travel bag, the one person alone starts off, adds a transmission combination after a series of Griffin, Richard stands two days later in the Millennium Empire national capital finally, before Emerald Heavenly Lake. 李察沒有带任何随从和追随者,就提了简单行囊,孤身上路,经过一系列狮鹫加传送阵的组合,李察终于在两天后站在千年帝国国都,翡翠天湖之前。 Emerald Heavenly Lake once was known as the Norland most beautiful city, although there is the suspicion of exaggeration, but also few. 翡翠天湖曾经号称诺兰德最美丽的城市,虽然有夸大之嫌,但也相去无几。 The under foot is velvet grass ban, the watercolor painting that everywhere emerald green alluring, has probably not done thoroughly, had just rained, in the sky the gloomy dark cloud and breaks through the deep grey multi-colored sunlight to interlock, there is strange sense of beauty. 脚下是天鹅绒般的草坂,满目翠绿欲滴,好像一副还沒有干透的水彩画,刚下过雨,天空中阴沉的乌云和突破深灰的霞光交错,有一种奇异的美感。 A giant city in this rich color and light fluctuate calmly stand erect. 一座巨大的城市就在这浓郁的色彩和光影变幻间静静矗立。 The giant vine sets up the tall wall, the old plant complicate interactive winding, cannot see clearly the city wall main body, or these plants itself are the wall, the city gate are an entire red sandstone arched entrance, bloomed completely the Millennium Empire national flower, the five colors sun plant, red, white and yellow, orange and purple, filled Vitality. 巨大的藤蔓树立起高墙,年代久远的植物盘根错节交互缠绕,根本看不清城墙本体,或者这些植物本身就是墙体,城门是一整块红砂岩拱门,开满了千年帝国的国花,五色太阳花,红、白、黄、橙、紫,充满活力。 At this time the appearance of Richard is travel-worn vagrant Mage, is throwing over the thick risk cloak, carries on the back is model unusual plain magic seal box, magic seal box is obviously obsolete many attrition, but has inscribed in the striking place unfortunately the massive magic marks, moreover scratches glistens, like is for fear that others does not know that this is the magic equipment. 此时李察的打扮就是一个风尘仆仆的流浪法师,披着厚实的冒险披风,背上则是一个式样奇特古朴的封魔箱,封魔箱明显陈旧多处磨损,可是偏又在醒目地方铭刻了大量魔法符号,而且擦得闪亮,象是生怕别人不知道这是件魔法装备一样。 In brief, Richard like finding at everywhere seven Level 8 Mage, the work that to seek the share can get by, has to go all out to show off own wealth and strength. 总而言之,李察就象一个随处可见的七八级法师,为了谋份能够糊口的工作,不得不拼命炫耀自己的富有和实力。 Emerald Heavenly Lake has not set up any visible checkpoint, as if travellers from world can come and go out at will, when Richard is entering the city gate with the stream of people, the body felt that has a warm current to well up, this obviously is some survey energy. 翡翠天湖沒有设置任何看得见的关卡,似乎來自世界各地的旅行者都可以随意出入,但是李察在跟着人流走进城门时,身上感到有一阵暖流涌过,这明显是某种探测能量。 Richard analyzes these energies to be very weak instantaneously, but is ingenious, can the negative as well as chaotic aura produces reaction to from the abyss, foreign country and other place , the use of this magic, should be is used to distinguish the alien races of these evil and chaotic camps. 李察瞬间分析出这些能量很微弱,但非常巧妙,可以对來自深渊、外域等处的负面以及混乱气息产生反应,这道魔法的用途,应该就是用來鉴别那些邪恶和混乱阵营的异族了。 When enters the city gate, Richard felt for a while suddenly he entered the state of elf likely. 当走进城门时,李察一时恍然感觉到自己象是走进了精灵的国度。 His first impression, is the tree, finds at everywhere several hundred, even nearly millenniums old trees, here tree room is common, some houses were directly open cutting on the tree trunks of certain dead logs. 他第一个印象,就是树,随处可见数百、甚至近千年的古树,这里树屋非常常见,有些房子就是直接在某些死去巨木的树身上开凿出來的。 But if examines carefully, will actually discover and difference of elf metropolis, in the Green Forest Long Night tribe, the tree room of elf hangs on the tree, the village in ground , is primarily all kinds of log cabins, the elves excel in the appearance that the trees expedite to want, thus turns into the natural wall or the pillar. 但若是细看,却又会发现和精灵都市的不同,在绿森的永夜部落,精灵的树屋是挂在树上的,地面上的村落,也全是以各式各样的木屋为主,精灵们擅于把树木催生成想要的样子,从而变成天然的墙壁或支柱。 However in Emerald Heavenly Lake, these grand magnificent construction that is completed by the stone is actually the main body, but these buildings or the surfaces crawled completely the vine, or merged into one organic whole with the old tree log of surroundings ingeniously, will make the person have the misconception. 但是在翡翠天湖中,那些由石头建成的宏伟华丽建筑却是主体,只是这些建筑或是表面爬满了藤蔓,或是巧妙地与周围的古树巨木融为一体,才会让人产生错觉。 This city gives another impression of Richard is magnificent. 这个城市给李察的另一个印象就是华丽。 Almost all nice points constructions are embellishing the fine carving, even the stockade of garden with fine strongly has become the flowering branch shape, the main body of city is emerald deep green, but other not deficient colors, in fact, regardless of the light blue or rhodo-, can find here, moreover to the feeling of person certainly good colorful, only then variegated. 几乎所有象样点的建筑上都点缀着精美的雕刻,甚至花园的栅栏都用精铁铸成了花枝形状,城市的主体是翡翠般的碧绿,但绝不缺乏其它色彩,事实上,无论亮蓝还是玫红,都能够在这里找到,而且给人的感觉绝不俗艳,只有斑斓。 Richard leisurely strolls along the path, on the road can see from each national and each race person, can look, this is a containing metropolis, only then contains, will prosper, even if containing in surface, must. 李察沿着道路信步走着,路上可以看到來自各个国家、各个种族的人,看得出來,这是一座包容的都市,惟有包容,才会繁荣,哪怕是表面上的包容,也是必须的。 Walked one along the main road, follows the path to bypass a square again, Richard at present suddenly open, surfaces piece of vast bright. 沿着大路走了一阵,再顺着道路绕过一个广场,李察眼前突然开阔,露出一片辽阔的碧色水面。 This is a piece of incomparably broad lake surface, cannot look at the end, will be big will make a mistake to think to arrive at the seashore, this will be the lake of dreamland, the origin of Emerald Heavenly Lake this city name. 这是一片无比宽广的湖面,一眼望不到尽头,大得会让人错以为來到海边,这就是梦境之湖,翡翠天湖这个城市名字的由來。 The Emerald Heavenly Lake entire city assumes crecent moon, partly gathers round the lake of vast dreamland, the east side in lake, the end of city, can see the elegant forest indistinctly, that is the whispering forest, is a Millennium Empire famous view. 翡翠天湖整个城区呈新月型,半围着辽阔的梦境之湖,湖的东侧,城区的尽头,隐约可以看到郁郁的森林,那是低语森林,也是千年帝国一处著名景致。 Watches this piece such as the polish smooth gem water surface, Richard also has instant being out of sorts at present. 看着眼前这片如打磨光滑宝石般的水面,李察也不禁有刹那的失神。 He looks to the left, has a snow white bridge in that direction, surmounts the vast lake surface, locates a piece to melt the center of the lake magnificent grand connects as one palace and city. 他向左边望去,在那个方向上有一条雪白的长桥,跨越辽阔的湖面,将湖心处一片融瑰丽宏伟于一体的宫殿与城市连接起來。 Looking out into the distance center of the lake, what is most conspicuous is a giant old tree, is inclining the growth, the crown such as piece by piece the floating clouds, concentrates to stop above the palace, the palace takes the white as the main body, the blue color as the main embellishment, the huge palace group upwardly winds to circle along the tree trunk, until close crown. 远眺湖心,最显眼的是一棵巨大古树,倾斜着生长,树冠如片片浮云,凝停在宫殿上方,宫殿以白色为主体,蓝色作为主要点缀,庞大的宫殿群沿着树身一路向上蜿蜒盘旋,直到接近树冠。 This great tree is more giant than in numerous Tree of Life that Green Forest once saw Richard, perhaps compared with World Tree small many. 这棵巨树比李察在绿森曾看到的众多生命树还要巨大,恐怕比世界树都小不了多少。 The palace group of construction on center of the lake great tree, is the Millennium Empire emperor palace. 修建在湖心巨树上的宫殿群,就是千年帝国的帝宫。
