No onespoke.
没有人说话。Inprison cell a deathly stillness.
牢房里一片死寂。„Issue?” The voice of blackprophetcoldlyconveys.
“还有问题吗?”黑先知的声音冷冷传来。No onereplied.
没有人回答。Until the clearweakmale voiceresoundstogether:
直到一道清脆幼稚的男声响起:„Yes.”
“是的。”Everyone'svisionturns towardTaiersito gatheragain.
所有人的目光再次向着泰尔斯聚集。Buthedoes not haveto open the mouthimmediately.
但他没有立刻开口。Taiersilongsighed the one breath, the expressionwas exhausted, as ifinhesitant, orthought deeply.
泰尔斯长长地叹出一口气,表情疲惫,仿佛在犹豫,或者深思。Crossedsome little time, the voice of secondprince, conveysdifficultly:
过了好一会儿,第二王子的声音,才艰难地传来:„Does your majesty...... heknowthisplan? BeforeIembarkto go north?”
“陛下……他知道这个计划吗?在我出发北上之前?”
The blackprophethas not spoken.
黑先知没有说话。ButTaiersihas understood.
但泰尔斯已经明白了。„Therefore, the rumorhas not spoken incorrectly,” a Taiersifaceraised the headdimly, observes the situationpeople, the lookstoppedon the helplesslittle smart-aleckspeciallyslightly: „The starspersoncolluded with the disaster, murderedNoonking, wantsto provode the civil strifeinExter.”
“所以,谣言没说错,”泰尔斯一脸黯淡地抬起头,环视了一圈众人,眼神特别在不知所措的小滑头身上略略停顿:“星辰人勾结了灾祸,谋杀了努恩王,想在埃克斯特引发内乱。”
The powerless feelingraidshisheart.
无力感袭上他的心头。„Why?”
“为什么?”Taiersiat presentpassed over gently and swiftlyagedlythatexhausted, white hairkingimage that actually the power and influencedoes not reduce, fall in the blues: „IftoguaranteeExterdoes not invade the stars, I can definitely achievethrough the diplomatic mediation- in fact, wehave achieved.”
泰尔斯的眼前掠过那位老迈疲惫,却威势不减的白发国王形象,情绪低落:“如果是为了保证埃克斯特不入侵星辰,那我完全可以通过外交斡旋来达成-事实上,我们已经达成了。”Inhisline of sight, the little smart-aleckdeeplylowers the head, cannot see clearly the expression.
在他的视线里,小滑头深深地低下头,看不清表情。
That limitlessdeathly stillness of black hole.
黑洞的那一头只有无边无际的死寂。Rafelnot minceshows a lightsmile.
拉斐尔则毫不掩饰地露出一个淡淡的微笑。„Beforeseveralhours......”
“就在几个小时以前……”Taiersifacial expressionloses, both eyesare lost in thought that as ifsees the head/number of people of kingto tumble the scene in groundagain.
泰尔斯神情失落,双目出神,仿佛看见国王的人头再次滚落地面的情景。„Noonkingproposed that mustform an alliancewithus,”histoneis low-spirited, voicehoarse, as ifmustandsuffersto meltinownwordsthese daysmisery, „Waltonandbrightstar.”
“努恩王提出要和我们结盟,”他语气黯然,嗓音嘶哑,仿佛要把这些天来的苦难和折磨融进自己的话里,“沃尔顿和璨星。”„Wehelphimkeep in balance the domesticfeudal lord, after maintainingNoonkingdied, Walton'slasting, in return, hesafeguards the peace in two countriesstrongly, leaves the time of resting and building up strengthtous,” the Taiersiworn outsaid/tunnel, onlythought that bigsuch asfights, is utterly confused, „the predicament that the dead space of Rallcomeshas been easily solved, butnow......”
“我们帮他制衡国内的诸侯,维系努恩王身故之后沃尔顿的存续,作为交换,他则竭力维护两国的和平,给我们留出休养生息的时间,”泰尔斯有气无力地道,只觉得头大如斗,心乱如麻,“摩拉尔之死带来的困局已经迎刃而解,而现在……”Bosominferior (Asia)opened the mouthsurprised, Cohenheard that the wordwas startledslightly, immediatelylooking pensive, Mirandadid not say a wordas before, the expressionwas desolate.
怀亚吃惊地张开了嘴巴,科恩闻言微微一怔,随即若有所思,米兰达依旧一言不发,表情冷淡。Taiersicloses the eye, bringstiredandwearylongsighs the one breath.
泰尔斯闭上眼睛,带着困乏和疲劳长长地叹出一口气。Now, Noonkinghas saidall, ashisdeath, but the windblewcloudleisurely/scatter.
现在,努恩王所说过的一切,都随着他的死而风吹云散了。Disaster, Rumba, assassination.
灾祸,伦巴,刺杀。
The disaster of shieldarea.
盾区的灾难。Thisdamnall.
这该死的一切。Strangeblack hole on Rafelarmshivers.
拉斐尔手臂上的怪异黑洞一阵颤抖。„Hehehehaha......”
“嘿嘿嘿哈哈……”RepliedTaiersi, was the blackprophetthatgloomy and coldandhoarsecraftinesssmiles.
回答泰尔斯的,是黑先知那阴冷而嘶哑的诡笑。
The laughtercontinued for severalseconds.
笑声持续了好几秒。Taiersibrowstartsto gather.
泰尔斯的眉头开始聚拢。„Receivessenselesslyyournaive, Your highness- youin the hall of groupstarare notthisappearance,”finally, Molat'slaughtertransformsinto the indifferentwords, transmitsin the spaciousprison cellspookily: „Youalsoreallythink,ourprospectwill close right up againstyourgoes abroad on a diplomatic missionto create the miracle, extinguishes the flames of war?”
“收起您无谓的天真吧,殿下-您在群星之厅可不是这副样子,”终于,莫拉特的笑声转换为冷漠的话语,在空旷的牢房里幽幽传来:“您还真的以为,我们会指望靠着您的出使来创造奇迹,消弭战火?”Listens to the blackprophetbelt/bringto ridiculemeaning the words, Taiersideeplyinspires, bears the impulsion and anger in innermost feelings.
听着黑先知带奚落意味的话语,泰尔斯深吸一口气,忍住内心里的冲动和怒意。„Originally the issuehas been solved,”heis clenching teeth saying: „Has the strength of dragonXiaocity, Extercanlive in peace with each otherwith the stars......”
“本来问题已经解决了,”他咬着牙道:“有龙霄城的力量,埃克斯特跟星辰本可以相安无事……”„Solution?” The blackprophetbrokehim.
“解决?”黑先知打断了他。„Naturally, the prince of talentwith the excellentmethod, convincedNoonkingno longerto look for the trouble of stars,”blackprophetlightsay/way, in the words is completely Taiersilistensbothinferiorandcoarseteasing: „Friendharmoniousboth countries of welcomed the peacehenceforth......”
“当然,天才的王子用高超的手段,说服努恩王不再找星辰的麻烦,”黑先知淡淡道,话语里尽是泰尔斯听来既蹩脚又难听的调侃:“友睦的两国从此迎来了和平……”„How long?”Untilthread of conversationonerevolution of secretbranchhead: „Fiveyears? Tenyears? 15years?”
“多久?”直到秘科首脑的话锋一转:“五年?十年?还是十五年?”Taiersianti-does not exhale the one breath.
泰尔斯不耐地呼出一口气。Bringsto let the personextremelyuncomfortablerhythm, sneering of blackprophetresoundsslowly.
带着让人极不舒服的节奏,黑先知的冷笑缓缓响起。„Myyour highness, youreallythinkstwofamilies'papertreaties of alliance, canmaintain the peace in two countries?”
“我的殿下,你真的以为两个家族的一纸盟约,就能维系住两国的和平?”„Youthink that inwavestowarddragonXiaocityby the princeimmediately, nodswith the Grand Dukesin the secret room, candispel the ambitionandgreedy of big dragon?” The voice of blackprophetrisessuddenly, in the wordswere manyto be solemn and respectfulandsevere:
“你以为靠王子在马上朝着龙霄城挥挥手,在密室里跟大公们点点头,就能消解巨龙的野心和贪婪?”黑先知的声音陡然升高,话里多了一丝肃穆和严厉:„600years ago Thomondeandanti-cardRu, cannot achievethis point.”
“就连六百年前的托蒙德和耐卡茹,都做不到这一点。”Taiersiis startledslightly.
泰尔斯微微一怔。„Youknow that Noonking, oncehow manydreamsinserted the dragonfort the blackbottomreddragon flagin 30 years, the boundarynorth the starsintegratesExterperson'srule?” The words of secretbranchheadlike the wick of poisonous snake, xisumakes noiseat the same timealsoinexplicableterrified.
“你知道那位努恩王,在30年间曾多少次梦想将黑底红龙旗插上断龙要塞,将星辰北境纳入埃克斯特人的统治吗?”秘科首脑的话如同毒蛇的信子,窸窣作响的同时还让人莫名惶恐。„12years, Exterfrom the kingto the Grand Duke, from the aristocratto the civilians, theyhad a dreamwantsto go southagain,”blackprophetsneers saying: „Threegrand dukes'provocationin the boundaryneverstops, the probe of dragonXiaocityallhasyear after year- do youthinkPrinceRallforwhat the going abroad on a diplomatic missionstars?”
“十二年了,埃克斯特从国王到大公,从贵族到平民,他们做梦都想再度南下,”黑先知冷笑道:“三位大公在边界的挑衅从未止息,龙霄城的试探年年皆有-你以为摩拉尔王子是为了什么才出使星辰的?”Repairs«FortPeace treaty»- Cohenhangs the eyelid, adds ononein the heartsilently.
重修《要塞和约》-科恩微垂眼睑,在心底默默加上一句。Taiersilooks atthatstrangeblack hole on Rafelarm, keeps silent.
泰尔斯则看着拉斐尔手臂上的那个诡异黑洞,不言不语。„Theyare not the peon,” the words of blackprophettransmitfrom the armblack hole of young peopleslowly: „Theyarenorth the person, ismusthold the northernperson of swordcombatsince birth, sinceage of barbarismonworld-famousnorthernperson- bestrememberthis pointinyourremaining years of life, Your highness.”
“他们不是什么无名小卒,”黑先知的话从年轻人的手臂黑洞里缓缓传来:“他们是北地人,是生来就要执剑作战的北地人,是从蒙昧时代起就闻名于世的北地人-在您的余生里最好牢记这一点,殿下。”„Theyhaveto takeenlisting in the militaryandkilling the enemyas the northernancient customs of honor, havingincoldandhard and dangerous the strongbody and spirit that disciplines, tenaciousarmy that the usefulblood and iron and honorbuild.”
“他们有以参军和杀敌为荣的北地古风,有在寒冷和艰险里磨练出的强壮体魄,有用铁血与荣誉打造出的坚韧军队。”„Theyhavedo not needto traincanpull away the half-fullhunting householdcivilians the coldpine lumberlong bow, hasto be good at the topbeing bewitchedto be able the spear/gun and invincibleheavy cavalry of lancecharge, havingglacierlookoutandnaked sword that guarddaresto resist with all one's strengthwith the beastpersondirectly.”
“他们有不用训练就能把寒松木长弓拉开半满的猎户平民,有善于顶着魔能枪和长矛阵冲锋的无敌重骑兵,有敢与兽人正面力敌的冰川哨望和白刃卫队。”„Theyalsohadto the service and sacrificedo not have the complaint, depend onseveralpieces of breadin the winterto be able the daynumber of linestenli (0.5 km)recruitingsoldiersoldier, elitestanding army that 70%casualtieswill not have been defeated and dispersedsomemajorterritory one year threetaughtandcanwithstand.”InMolat'swordshas a frighteningimposing manner.
“他们还有对服役和牺牲毫无怨言、在冬天靠着几块面包就能日行数十里的征召兵战士,有各大领地一年三训、能承受70%伤亡还不会溃散的的精锐常备军。”莫拉特的话里有股让人心寒的气势。„Theylivefor the war.”
“他们为战争而生。”Listened toall theseMirandacomplexionsto be getting more and more cold, recalls the fightover the past three years, the fistgripsslowlytightly.
听着这一切的米兰达脸色越来越冷,回忆起过去三年的战斗,拳头慢慢攥紧。
The blackprophetstopped for onesecond, the lights in prison cell seemed to be darker, covers the face of peoplein the shadow.
黑先知停顿了一秒,牢房里的灯火似乎更暗了,将众人的脸孔都笼罩在阴影之中。Taiersisipped the lower lip: „But......”
泰尔斯抿了抿下唇:“但是……”
The blackprophethas not madehimsay.
黑先知没有让他说下去。„Has princekin, youseen12years ago thatwar?”
“小王子,你见过十二年前的那场战争吗?”
The words of blackprophet, lethold a Rafel'sMirandacomplexionstiff, femaleswordsmancannot help butbrowslightlypressed.
黑先知的话,让扶着拉斐尔的米兰达脸色一僵,女剑士不由得眉头微蹙。„Youseenorthheavy cavalryeverything may become vulnerableto come in waves, the heavy swordinfantryand do the executionerwell up the scene of city wallfully? Do youhear the attacking a cityawlto thrash the city gate, the voice of slingbombardmentcity wall?

“你见过北地重骑兵地动山摇滚滚而来,重剑步兵和刀斧手铺天盖地地涌上城墙的景象吗?你听见过攻城锥捶打城门,投石器轰击城墙的声音吗?你见过尸横遍野,饿殍遍地的惨状吗?你看过恍惚游荡的饥民们那一双双失去希望的眼神吗?你知道北境的萧条荒凉已经持续多久了吗?”Taiersipinched tightly the fist, actually in the sleep/feltgoes wellstrengthnowhereto vent, that scabs of palmstartto pain.
泰尔斯捏紧了拳头,却觉得手里的力气无处发泄,手心的那道伤疤又开始隐隐作痛。Hisat present, flashes beforeunder the dragonforttheseto pledge to fight to the deathto besiegethem, facinglight infantry who ominousbeastHarraca Mudoes not flinch- norththeseperson.
他的眼前,闪现断龙要塞下那些誓死围攻他们,面对凶兽般的阿拉卡・穆也毫不退缩的轻步兵-那些北地人。Meanwhile, the complexion of Mirandaalsobecomesincomparablypale.
与此同时,米兰达的脸色也变得无比苍白。Sheas ifsawoncepastagain.
她似乎再次看到曾经的过去。Nightmarishpast.
噩梦般的过去。Thatstretch of whitesnowy area.
那一片白茫茫的雪地。Rafelslightlypursing the lipscorner/horn, hegrabs the hand of femaleswordsmanunintentionally, makes an effortslightly.
拉斐尔微抿嘴角,他有意无意地抓住女剑士的手,微微用力。Receivesall theseinCohen of eyeground, sighedonein the heartsecretly.
把这一切收在眼底的科恩,在心中暗叹一声。Miranda, Rafel.
米兰达,还有拉斐尔。Their two, wereexperienced the people of thesedisastersmostdirectly.
他们两个,才是最直接地经历了那些灾难的人啊。Taiersistares atthatis wriggling the black hole, brainchaoticheswallowssaliva, sighed: „Wehad reachedagreement- Noonwas old, whatheneedsto careis the kingbehindmatter, isWaltonandlasting of cloudmesosaurusspear/gun, isdragonXiaocityandgambling of numerouspositionGrand Duke, rather thanstars......”
泰尔斯盯着那个蠕动着的黑洞,脑子纷乱的他咽下一口唾沫,叹息道:“我们已经达成了共识-努恩老了,他需要关心的是国王身后的事情,是沃尔顿和云中龙枪的存续,是龙霄城与众位大公的博弈,而非星辰……”Thistimerepliedhis, was the young people of thatredpupil.
这次回答他的,是那位红眸的年轻人。„Youspeaking ofideaon, Your highness,”Rafelraised the headslightly, underdoes not extinguish a lamp a pair of redpupilto be sparkling: „The biggest problem is: Noonwas old.”
“你说到点子上了,殿下,”拉斐尔微微抬头,在不灭灯下的一双红眸闪闪发光:“最大的问题就是:努恩老了。”„Right, perhapshe can also with the wrist/skill and remaining prestige, restrainsExter, suppressesnineGrand Dukes, lets the dragonforts and northernboundarypeacefulseveralyears,”secretbranch the young peoplecoldlysaid: „Butafterthat?”
“对,他也许还能凭着手腕和余威,约束埃克斯特,压制九位大公,让断龙要塞和北境安静个几年,”秘科的年轻人冷冷道:“但在那之后呢?”Taiersibreathstagnatesimmediately.
泰尔斯的呼吸顿时一滞。In the prison cellon the unpleasantfoul air, seemed more dignified.
牢房里本来就让人不快的污浊空气,似乎更加凝重。
A longsigh, transmitsfrom of black hole.
一声悠长的叹息,从黑洞的那一头传来。„AfterNoonkingdiedExter, whomounts the throne is not unimportant,” the voice of blackprophetas iftookexhausted: „Butyouthink,whatmethod the newkingmustdepend on, cangather the biggestbenefit and reputation/honorarywith the minimumprice, with the aim ofproving, accumulatingandconsolidatesassucceeding the position and prestige of king?”
“在努恩王身故后的埃克斯特,无论是谁登上王位都不重要,”黑先知的声音似乎带上了一丝疲惫:“但你以为,新王要靠什么手段,才能用最小的代价收取最大的利益和名誉,以便证明、累积、巩固自己身为继任国王的地位和威望呢?”„Whatmethodhemustbycomfortthesein the Grand Dukes who electing the kingare in unfavorable situation, whatchipwithrewardstheseto supporthisGrand Dukes?”
“他又要靠什么手段来安抚那些在选王中失利的大公们,用什么筹码来奖励那些支持他的大公们呢?”Taiersicloses the eye, puts outoneto sink the depressedfor a long timeaura.
泰尔斯闭上眼睛,吐出一口沉郁已久的气息。Heknows that the blackprophetmustsayanything.
他知道黑先知要说什么了。„Isn'tsouth sidethatcannot withstand, vitalitynot to replyweakly, the royal family not steadystarskingdombecause of the 12years ago disasters?”Molat'svoicebecomesincomparablyice-cold: „Wasn'tExterkeeps thinking about300-400years of coldfort, to defendWangcheng and old and alone persontowerandbreaks the dragonfort? Doesn't makenorththeirbig of ancestorgenerationhousing the areareturn to a series the unsurpassedglory?”
“难道不是南边那个因为十二年前的灾难而虚弱不堪、元气未复、王室不稳的星辰王国?”莫拉特的声音变得无比冰冷:“难道不是埃克斯特惦记了300-400年的寒堡、守望城、孤老塔和断龙要塞?难道不是让他们祖先世代居住的大北地地区重归一统的无上荣耀?”InTaiersiheartshakesslightly.
泰尔斯心中微微一震。Hedoes not lookvoluntarilyto the little smart-aleck, the hearthas a terribleidea.
他不自觉地看向小滑头,心头冒出一个可怕的想法。Noonkingmakeshimmarrywithowngranddaughter.
努恩王让他和自己的孙女联姻。Underpremise that in the brightstarandWaltontake care ofmutually, intheirfuturebloodlinesheir, person of a surname that inherits the brightstar, person of a nomen that inheritsWalton.
在璨星与沃尔顿相互照应的前提下,他们日后的血脉子嗣中,一人继承璨星的姓氏,一人继承沃尔顿的族名。Henceforth, the starskingdomhadcanmeddledragonXiaocityinternal affairs, impededExter'sexcuse, not only can guarantee that Walton'slasting, andcanincrease the prestige and chip of stars.
从此,星辰王国有了可以插手龙霄城内务,掣肘埃克斯特的借口,既能保证沃尔顿的存续,又能增加星辰的威望和筹码。However......
但是……In turn?
反过来呢?Oncehe- Taiersihas the accident/surprise, ExterkingdomanddragonXiaocity, whetheralsohadinterfered with the brightstarroyal family, to the starsproposedchip that demanded?
一旦他-泰尔斯本人发生意外,那埃克斯特王国和龙霄城,是否也有了干涉璨星王室,向星辰提出索求的筹码?Readandhere, inTaiersiheartslightlycool.
念及此处,泰尔斯心中微凉。Heremembers that one-eyed personduke of starssuddenly, galleryhangsSteefamily'sclanlanguage: The warmustbe valuable, the victorymustenjoy.
他突然想起星辰的那位独眼龙公爵,廓斯德・南垂斯特家族的族语:战必有价,胜必有赏。Rafelloosened the wrist/skill of Mirandacalmly, followed the words of hisbosscalm, „defeats the stars, takes the fort, unifies the northernplace- whichregardless ofthesethreegoalsachieve, adds colorfor the royal crown of newkingsufficiently, lays the foundationfor the throne of monarch.”
拉斐尔不动声色地松开了米兰达的手腕,沉稳地接过他上司的话,“击败星辰,拿下要塞,统一北地-这三个目标无论达成哪一个,都足以为新王的冠冕增色,为国君的宝座奠基。”coldsnort/hum of blackprophetresoundsin the air, eventhatblack hole on Rafelhandalsotrembles.
黑先知的冷哼在空气里响起,连拉斐尔手上的那个黑洞也为之一颤。„The starskingdomwithExter'scontradiction, will never vanishbecause of a decision of surname, even ifyouwill coronatein the future are also same,”Molatlightsaid/tunnel: „Wefearthey.”
“星辰王国和埃克斯特的矛盾,永远不会因一家一姓的决定而消失,哪怕您日后加冕也是一样,”莫拉特淡淡地道:“我们恐惧他们。”„Just liketheyalsodreadus.”
“正如他们也忌惮我们。”„Therefore, whenever an opportunity presents itself, has the benefit, hascondition- how don't theypossiblygo south?”
“所以,一旦有机会,有利益,有条件-他们怎么可能不南下?”Taiersilowers the head.
泰尔斯低下头。
The words of blackprophet, gavehimone , if there is essencepressure.
黑先知的话,给了他一股如有实质般的压力。„Oncetheygo south- facingsuchopponent, youthink that byusin the orphanwidowed mother and remnants of northernboundary, how longcandefend?”
“一旦他们南下-面对那样的对手,你以为凭借我们在北境的孤儿寡母和残兵败将,能守住多久?”„The SoniaSerezfemaleLordare called the flower of fort, based indragonfort. People said that ifSoniabloomsdoes not thank, fortthenimpregnable- seems like the scenery, butyouknow that sheis embarkingguards the fortfirstdayto draw by the will, the junctionheld the royal familyto take care, until nowentire12years.”
“索尼娅・萨瑟雷女勋爵被称为要塞之花,常驻断龙要塞。人们都说,索尼娅若绽放不谢,要塞便固若金汤-看似风光,但是你知道吗,她在出发守卫要塞的第一天就立下了遗嘱,交托王室保管,至今整整十二年。”„Becausesheknows,mayvery muchinfuturesome day- works as the north windbone-chilling cold, the big dragonroared the lift-off, the flower of fortthendied of old agein the north, will never turn round.”
“因为她知道,很有可能在将来的某天-当北风凛冽而起,巨龙咆哮升空,要塞之花便凋谢在北方,永不复还。”„Youknow that wepaid the bigprice, received in exchange for " FortPeace treaty » peace? Youthinkmerelywith‚starscraftyfox’glib lips?”
“你知道我们付出了多大的代价,才换取了《要塞和约》的和平?你以为仅仅凭着‘星辰狡狐’的嘴皮子吗?”„Youknow,wepaid the bigpriceto maintainthisfrailpeace, the kingdom that protectsto suffocate the northernboundary that andcannot withstandweakly, was exempt fromtormenting of disasters of war?”
“你又知道,我们付出了多大的代价才维持住这脆弱的和平,保护奄奄一息的北境和虚弱不堪的王国,免受兵灾的荼毒吗?”Taiersiallwordswere stopped upin the throat, onlythought that wells up a nottellableworriedness.
泰尔斯所有的话都被堵在嗓子里,只觉得心中涌上一阵无可述说的烦闷。„Aristocratsare complaining aboutyour majesty, complained why hemustbring the voidfrailcountry, hasthatdoes not have the benefit the wildernesswarfiveyears ago,” the voice of blackprophetsoundsdenseandindifferent, actuallydeepaccumulated the strengthfeeling of making the personpalpitation:
“贵族们都在埋怨陛下,埋怨他为何要带着空虚脆弱的国家,在五年前打那场毫无利益可言的荒漠战争,”黑先知的声音听上去森然而冷漠,却深蕴着一股令人心悸的力量感:„The clothes eating insects that howevertheseheavy-jowled and potbellied, is shortsighteddo not know, does not wantto know: Year of blood-colorlaterstars, if no thatseeminglycrazywildernesswar, does not needplaceto showournational strengths a victory of certainly, does not need the pricefrigidbloodto washourdeterminations, does not use the altar of skullandwildboneperson of beastpersonshowed that oursword blade is still incomparable sharp......”
“然而那些脑满肠肥、鼠目寸光的蛀虫们不会知道,也不想知道:血色之年后的星辰,如果不打那场看似疯狂的荒漠战争,不用一场绝地的胜利来展现我们的国力,不用代价惨烈的鲜血来洗涤我们的决心,不用兽人的颅骨和荒骨人的祭坛来证明我们的剑锋依旧锐利无匹……”NearbyCohenhearshere, suddenlyin the heartclearlybecomes aware, bosominferior (Asia)evento pinch the sword hilt on handgigglemakes noise.
一旁的科恩听到这里,突然心中明悟,怀亚甚至把手上的剑柄捏得咯咯作响。
The voice of blackprophetis continuing: „Perhaps, the wintersfiveyears ago, thatcovers the entirenorthsky, prestigenearnorthernthroughout‚inbornking’Noon VII, will tear up«FortPeace treaty», leadsandfully-armednorthernpersonall over, asks forthemto losethingactuallyon the conference table.”
黑先知的声音在继续:“恐怕,早在五年前的冬季,那位笼罩整个北方天空,威临北地全境的‘天生之王’努恩七世,就会撕毁《要塞和约》,带着漫山遍野、全副武装的北地人,来讨回他们在谈判桌上失却的东西了。”„Wherealsohadanythingafterward, wherealsohaddispute that whatroyal familyinherited- wherealsohadoneday that yourwas calledforyour highness!”
“哪里还有什么后来,哪里还有什么王室继承的争议-哪里还有您被人称呼为殿下的一天!”„After youthinkNoon, won't havesuchkingagain?”
“你以为努恩之后,就不会再有这样的君王了吗?”Taiersimaintains total silence, butdecides the ground that looks atto be empty.
泰尔斯一语不发,只是定定地看着空无一物的地面。Rafelnodsslowly, thread of conversation that thisyoung peoplereceived the blackprophet, unemotionalsaid/tunnel: „Howeverfiveyearspass by, Extergraduallyfound outourcard in a hand, confusing and the deterrent rolewildernesswarno longer. In the hall of groupstaryoualsosaw, onlyneedsRumbaandRendholdsgently, the cleavage of royal familyandaristocratthenmakesthesedamyankeessecure.”
拉斐尔缓缓点头,这个年轻人接过黑先知的话头,面无表情地道:“而五年过去,埃克斯特逐渐摸清了我们的底牌,荒漠战争的迷惑和威慑作用不再。群星之厅里您也看到了,只需伦巴和亚伦德轻轻一捅,王室和贵族的分裂局面便让那些北方佬们有恃无恐。”„Why do wewantto carry out‚dragonblood’?”Rafellowers the head, tranquilsaid/tunnelindarkness:
“我们为什么要执行‘龙血’?”拉斐尔低下头,在黑暗里平静地道:„Thisis the answer, is‚dragonblood’significance.”
“这就是答案,也是‘龙血’的意义。”„Wewantis not the trivialseveral yearsfalsepeace, does not feel alarmed and anxiousyear after year, is notdangerousnegotiationsandconfrontations,”Rafelis pale, pupilblood red, has the complexexpression, to a princeslightlybow:
“我们要的不是区区数年的虚假和平,不是年年担惊受怕,不是一次次危险的谈判和对峙,”拉斐尔脸色苍白,瞳仁血红,带着复杂的表情,对着王子微微一躬:„Butis the kingdom under disadvantageno longerhas one misfortune after another, is the starsnortherndozensyears of evenover a hundredyears of safestabilities, is long the starsto restorefrom the year of blood-colorheavy damagesufficiently, is longyourfamily'ssurname and rulebecomesstable, is longweto be powerfulagain, fearless, onesuch asin the past.”
“而是劣势下的王国不再雪上加霜,是星辰北方数十年甚至上百年的平安稳定,久得星辰足以从血色之年的巨创里恢复,久得您家族的姓氏和统治重新变得稳固,久得我们再次强大起来,无所畏惧,一如往昔。”„Underthisgoal, even the life and death of Noonkingbecomesinsignificant.”
“在这个目标下,甚至连努恩王的生死都变得无足轻重。”Taiersiraised the head, the hearthas become aware.
泰尔斯抬起头,心有所悟。„Rumba'sbehavior, symbolizes that the Extermythsince the founding of the nationhas been disillusionedsince then, confirmed the so-calledanti-cardRuGongzhipledgeisa mere scrap of paper, the creed that northsincerely believesis also pale and weak,”Rafelshows a faint smile, „whatis more important, a Grand Dukekills one's sovereignblatantly- since thenhad the precedent.”
“伦巴的行为,标志着埃克斯特自建国以来的神话从此破灭,证实了所谓的耐卡茹共治誓约不过是一纸空文,北地所笃信的信条也苍白无力,”拉斐尔微微一笑,“更重要的是,一位大公公然弑君-从此有了先例。”„The earliestprecedent, ismourningGrand DukeTanEn who Weylandgets,”Taiersiscoffs atoneworn outlightly, the visionfluttersunintentionallyto the little smart-aleck: „Hehas not beenfirst.”
“最早的先例,是威兰领的悼亡大公谭恩,”泰尔斯有气无力地轻嗤一声,眼光有意无意地飘向小滑头:“他早就不是第一个了。”Fromjustarrived at the atmospherenot to dareto have a little smart-alecknow, at this timelifts the eye, looked at each otheronewithTaiersi, actually can only seeendlessexhausted and gloominessin the lattereye.
从刚刚到现在大气都不敢出一口的小滑头,此时抬起眼睛,跟泰尔斯对视了一眼,却只能在后者眼中看见无尽的疲惫和灰暗。Rafelknits the browsslightly, the wordsstagnate.
拉斐尔微微皱眉,话语一滞。„Iunderstandnow.”
“我现在明白了。”Taiersisighed the one breath, in the mindappearedhis ownunderstanding.
泰尔斯叹出一口气,脑海里浮现了他自己的理解。„Youneed, is not the revenge, does not rebel, whosedeathevenwas not,” the secondprinceafterdeeply the sigh, followedtheirwords: „Buttears up the camouflageandplastering of anti-cardRupledge, inmost deep-rootedcontradictionExter- kingandgrand duke'soppositionis thorough, andstimulationforchaosbeyond redemption.”
“你们需要的,不是复仇,不是作乱,甚至不是谁的死亡,”第二王子在深深叹息后,接过他们的话:“而是撕掉耐卡茹誓约的伪装和粉饰,将埃克斯特内部最根深蒂固的矛盾-国王与大公的对立彻底公开,并将之激发为不可收拾的混乱局面。”For example, a Grand DukeExterdepends on the violence and conspiracykills one's sovereignsuccessfully, thiswill take to the north windanddragon the childrenunequalledshock, takesnorthernfaithdestructiveattack that anti-cardRucasts, breakstenGrand Dukesto scrupulously follow about sevencenturies the principles.
比如,一位埃克斯特大公靠着暴力和阴谋弑君成功,这将带给北风与龙的儿女们无与伦比的震惊,带给耐卡茹所铸就的北地信念毁灭性的打击,打破十位大公恪守将近七个世纪的原则。For example, under the founding of the nationlegend of heroicanddragon, provokes the Grand Dukesoriginallyimpropertrain of thought that provokingtheminchoosing the strangethoughts outside kingmeeting, provokingthemaltogetherto govern the different kindambition beyond pledge, provokingthemonlyto have the dreamto returninExter's600yearsat midnight, canconsider12greedythoughts.
比如,在英雄与龙的建国传奇下,挑动大公们本来不该有的思绪,挑动他们在选王会之外的古怪心思,挑动他们在共治誓约外的别样野心,挑动他们在埃克斯特的六百年里唯有午夜梦回,方能思量一二的贪婪念头。More importantly, what is also more urgent:
更重要的,也更迫切的是:
The death of Noon, revolting of Rumba, evenafter thatpossibleExtercivil war- thiswill take tonextsucceedingKingExter the shadow and precedent, takes to the newkingaltogetherto govern the Grand Dukeunprecedentedsecurity and anxietytohisnine, takes to the Grand Dukestotheylift the kingnot the suspicion.
努恩之死,伦巴之叛,甚至其后可能的埃克斯特内战-这将带给下一位继任的埃克斯特国王阴影与前例,带给新王对他的九位共治大公前所未有的警戒与疑虑,也带给大公们对他们共举国王的不尽猜疑。Bythat time, NoonkingoncegatheredsevenGrand Dukes, tenseveral tens of thousands ofmilitarygo southto make an attack of aggression, bridges over the magnificent feat of dragonfort, perhapsthendid not have is so easyto realizeagain.
到了那时,努恩王曾经汇聚七位大公,十数万兵力南下侵攻,跨过断龙要塞的壮举,恐怕便再也没有那么容易实现了。Rafelnoddedto affirmhiswords.
拉斐尔点头肯定了他的话。Understoodsecretbranch the actionreason, butTaiersistillcannot be happy.
明白了秘科的行动缘由,但泰尔斯依旧高兴不起来。Hisinnermost feelingsheavilyas before, just likehave a sharpthornto span, frequentlymakeshimquiteanxious.
他的内心沉重如故,恍若有一根尖刺横亘其中,时时刻刻让他颇为不安。Whydoes not know, hisappearsat presentagainKessel'swords:
不知为何,他的眼前再次浮现凯瑟尔的话:Fightsfor the stars, diesfor the stars, livesfor the stars.
为星辰而战,为星辰而死,为星辰而生。Taiersishakes the head, as ifthiscansubtract the seriousmood.
泰尔斯摇摇头,似乎这样就能把沉重的情绪减去一点。Obviously, hefailed.
显然,他失败了。„secret did branchsucceed?”Taiersisighsfinally, askedwords that mostwantsto ask: „, Why can Iif successfulhere?”
“那秘科成功了吗?”泰尔斯最后还是叹了一口气,问出最想问的话:“如果成功的话,为什么我会在这里?”
The black holeisonetrembles- blackprophetopened the mouth.
黑洞又是一阵颤栗-黑先知开口了。Comes as a surprise toTaiersi, thisMolat Hansen, said an interrogative sentencetimeunexpectedly: „I am also very curious, indragonXiaocityactuallyhow?”
出乎泰尔斯的意料,这一次的莫拉特・汉森,居然说出了一个疑问句:“我也很好奇,龙霄城里究竟怎么了?”Rafelcomplexionchanges, the expressionis dignified.
拉斐尔脸色一变,表情凝重起来。„According to the plan, youthis/shouldtreatsnowwellin the hero soulpalace, asExterdistinguished guestpassedthiseveningunder the numeroussurrounding protection, in the potentialbecomesin the feudal lord of water and fire, relies on the neutralstatusto negotiateto return to homelandby way ofus,”insecretbranchyoung peoplewordssomeheavinessslightly: „Butdoes not know why NoonkingJueyileaves the hero soulpalace, but alsocarried overoutside you palace- youfellinRumba'shand.”
“按照计划,您现在该好好待在英灵宫里,在重重围护之下以埃克斯特贵宾的身份度过这一晚,在事后势成水火的诸侯里,凭借着中立的身份经由我方交涉而回国,”秘科的年轻人话语里有些微微的沉重:“但不知为何努恩王决意离开英灵宫,还将您带出了宫外-以至于您落到了伦巴的手里。”InTaiersiheartonetight, brings the person who hehas the hero soulpalaceis notNoon.
泰尔斯心中一紧,带他出英灵宫的人不是努恩。Butyes......
而是……Hecannot help butlooks atlittle smart-aleck- shehas seenEich.
他不由自主地望了望小滑头-她见过艾希达。Alsohas seen the blacksword, has seentheirconfrontation.
也见过黑剑,见过他们的对峙。„Also?” The princeaskedcalmly, slightlycrossedthisissueunintentionally.
“还有呢?”王子不动声色地问道,有意无意地略过这个问题。„In addition,”Rafelselects the eyebrowslightly, „ourplansalsosomeaccidents/surprises.”
“除此之外,”拉斐尔微微挑眉,“我们的计划还出了些意外。”„Alsohastenminutesfrom the time that you said that” the Molatraw and coldhoarsevoicewas still unpleasant: „Said that looks.”
“距离你所说的时间还有十分钟,”莫拉特生冷嘶哑的嗓音依旧让人不快:“说说看。”Rafelvisiononeaustere, observes the situation the people, in the eyeflashes through the innumerableimplicationuncleartrains of thought.
拉斐尔目光一肃,环视众人,眼里闪过无数意蕴不明的思绪。Finally, thesetrains of thoughtgatherthreewords, puts outfromhismouthgently:
最终,这些思绪汇聚成三个词,从他的嘴里轻轻吐出:„Disaster.”
“灾祸。”„AndRumba.”
“以及伦巴。”
