Fuxing Gong was like the past.
复兴宫跟以往一样。Gloomy and coldbut the deathly stillness, chillywithersclear.
阴冷而死寂,凄清而肃杀。

蹬,蹬,蹬……TaiersifollowsindirectorBaronQuintinbehind, is listening toownfootstepsecho, feelsthatairtightconstrainingagain.
泰尔斯跟在宫廷总管昆廷男爵的身后,听着自己的脚步回声,再次感觉到那股密不透风的压抑。Thatis the gloominess that does not extinguish a lampcontinuallyis unable to illuminate.
那是连不灭灯都无法照亮的晦暗。Dukebehind, horseslightlyas is always indifferently appropriate, in fact, guardsTaiersito haveMinDito think of the person in hallto havemany, buthas been permitted, canaccompany the person who heenters the palace, only thenhorseslightly.
公爵的身后,马略斯一如既往得体淡然,事实上,卫护泰尔斯出闵迪思厅的人有不少,但得到允许,可以陪伴他进宫的人,只有马略斯一人。Thisis not the goodsignal.
这可不是好信号。Butwith the previoustime( quietlybyeye salute) what the treatmentis different, everyoneall the way-, regardless ofguardservantaristocratto seal/conferofficial- salutestohimrespectfully, declaresyour highness, the appearanceis serious, it may be said thatis scrupulous about every detail.
但与上次(悄然受注目礼)的待遇不同的是,一路上的所有人-无论卫兵仆人贵族封臣-都对他恭敬行礼,口称殿下,面目严肃,可谓一丝不苟。Alsodid not know that iswhy.
也不晓得是为啥。Therefore, will heforlast nightchoice, pay the bigprice?
所以,他将为昨夜的选择,付出多大的代价?Taiersistate of mindis disorderly.
泰尔斯心绪凌乱。Frontdirectorcoughslightly, the princeinstinctthrows out the chestto bind the abdomen, the deportmentis perfect.
前方的宫廷总管一声轻咳,王子本能地挺胸束腹,仪态完美。
After seventurneightcircle, theydo not have the whereaboutsprevioustimemeeting hall, butarrived athigherone.
七拐八绕之后,他们没有去向上次的议事厅,而是来到了更高的一层。Bythiscorridorhung all overall previouskingin the portrait of eachperiod, makingTaiersibroaden the outlook:
这一层的走廊两侧挂满了历代国王在各个时期的肖像画,让泰尔斯大开眼界:John I who the revivalking'sson, buildsninestarroyal crownsis in high spirits, althoughnickname„blackeye”, actuallylivedpair of limpidmovingblue eyes, looking has to bewitchto seize the mortal formgood-looking.
复兴王之子,打造九星冠冕的约翰一世神采飞扬,虽然外号“黑目”,却生了一对清澈动人的碧眼,望之颇有勾魂夺魄的俊俏。martial artsillustrious, what a wordovercomes„blade edgeking who” the blade edgeleadsThomonde IIto preserveis the statue, coveredhishistory book to carry( triesto tamperrepeatedly, but can not) short stature.
武功赫赫,一言打下刀锋领的“刀锋王”托蒙德二世留存的是坐像,掩盖了他史书有载(试图多次篡改而不得)的五短身材。Disputedlegitimatein a big way, changed the high-rank„shearing”Thomonde IVfacial expressionto be callousby the palace, the visionsinister and vicious, the artistsuccessfullyused the light shadow, makinghisfacial featuresappeargloomystrange, making the watcherill.
正统争议最大,靠宫变上位的“割者”托蒙德四世神情冷酷,目光阴鸷,画师成功地利用光影,让他的面容显得阴森诡异,令观者不适。Soviet Union and USthirdis seemingly amiablesteadily, recklessCha who in additiondecoratescarefully, putting the differentworldabsolutelyisten thousandpeople of chasingmiddle-agedUncle Shuai, makingonefind it hardto believe that thiswasby the slysinisterfamousstars„jackal”.
苏美三世看上去谦和稳重,加上精心修饰的胡茬,放到异世绝对是万人追捧的中年帅叔,令人难以相信这是以狡猾阴险出名的星辰“胡狼”。
the second day of grownpersonally guiding the government into a new era , the day before is the weddingwas about to begin, unfortunatedeath„regrettableking”Bancroft IIlookwas ill and weary, the sufferingtype that a facehas not awaked, complemented each otherwithhisnicknameactually.
在成年亲政的第二天,也是婚礼在即的前一天,就不幸逝世的“遗憾王”班克罗夫特二世神色恹恹,一脸没睡醒的委屈样,倒是与他的外号相得益彰。Since childhoodtakes the playboyas the will, has no interestauthorityZheng, marriestimeseight, thussudden wealthworry-free„survivalking”Eiland IV, the portraitincoronationappears a faceto be panic-stricken, helpless, perhapsthiswithwas informed to change the brightstarsurnamewhen he was 55 years old, succeeds to the throne, revertsunder the royal familyname the enormous property of( fromsevenwidowwifethereinheriting) while convenientcompletelyrelated.
从小以纨绔为志,无心权争,结婚八次从而暴富无忧的“幸存王”埃兰四世,在加冕礼上的画像显得一脸惊恐,手足无措,这或许跟他55岁时才被告知要改回璨星姓氏,继承王位,顺便把(从七个寡妇老婆那里继承的)巨额财产全部归回王室名下有关。„Zhengbei”QueenAiLijiacoversin as extremely fatas the magnificent dress of distortionunderdignified, the dignifiedsolemn and respectfulimposing manneris threatening, completelycannot see the femalecharacteristics, in the idle talkbarnyard grassofficerunofficial history„colorfulpressurebeautiful and fragrant flowers, fallsinternational, 60muddy, ifpairtenfaces”eternityoutstanding beauty.
“征北者”艾丽嘉女王笼罩在庄严臃肿到变形的华服之下,威严肃穆气势逼人,全然看不出女性的特征,遑论稗官野史里“艳压群芳,倾倒万国,六十浑若双十颜”的千古殊色。„Sandking”Kessel IVholds up the headto look out into the distance, but the military might the sunlight, what a pity there is no wayto coverhimto pass onwith the nicknamefor the joketogethermediocrespiritless: After the expeditionbigwildernessactuallysuffers the disastrous defeat, scared out of one's witshethrows down the army, will buryin the sandto cover up the figureby the thunderclapcertainly, finallyescapes, leaves behindthatfamous„stealthis equal toinvincibly”.
“沙王”凯瑟尔四世昂首远眺,威武而阳光,可惜这没法掩盖他与绰号一同传为笑谈的平庸懦弱:远征大荒漠却遭遇惨败后,吓破胆的他丢下军队,以迅雷之势将自己埋藏进沙子里遮掩身形,最终逃过一劫,留下那句著名的“隐身等于无敌”。Obviously, MinDithinks in the hallthatthird mate and giantportrait of historical evidencebackgroundunionis more impressive, buthereportraits have the characteristicsrespectively, the techniquecustoms of differentartist, reflectsincisivelyincluding the differentperiodartistic styles.
显然,闵迪思厅里那三副与史实背景结合的巨型画像更令人印象深刻,但这里的画像们也各有特色,把不同画师的技法习惯,包括不同时期的艺术风格反映得淋漓尽致。However......
但是……Taiersicalmlylooks atthem, suddenlythinks of a strangepoint.
泰尔斯静静地看着它们,突然想到奇怪的一点。Regardless ofthesepalaceportraits, MinDithinks of the legendarythreekingimages in hall, inallpictures the personseem like......
无论这些宫廷画像,还是闵迪思厅里的传奇三王像,所有的画中人看上去都……Is insincere.
并不真诚。Finally, theystopbefore a guardstrictstone chamber, the chiefcommander of royal familyguard, LordAdrianappearsbeforethem, temperateactuallydoes not lose the dignity.
最终,他们停在一处把守严密的石室前,王室卫队的首席指挥官,艾德里安勋爵出现在他们面前,温和却不失威严。„BaronQuintin,”Adrianfirstsalutes the regardsto the director of lead:
“昆廷男爵,”艾德里安先向领头的宫廷总管行礼问候:„In additionwell?”
“尚且安好?”
The directorflungwaving the arms about, appearance that does not care aboutmuddily.
宫廷总管甩了甩手,一副浑不在乎的样子。„Well, well, nowpleasemyI must say good bye now, Imustgive the tailorexpense of GrandmasterDimonto pay up.”
“安好,安好,现在请恕我失陪,我要去给戴蒙大师的裁缝费用结账。”BaronQuintin the attitudeis careless, between the lineshassomeresentment:
昆廷男爵态度草率,字里行间带着些许怨气:„Alsomuststare at the purchasework of wine glass, youknow- glass, glass, liquor, cup! The bigexpenditure, cannot be careless!”
“还要去盯着御用酒杯的采购工作,您知道-玻,璃,酒,杯!好大一笔开支呢,马虎不得!”Water glass.
玻璃酒杯。Taiersistandsinhimbehind, the expressionstagnates.
泰尔斯站在他身后,表情微滞。ChiefAdriannarrows a smile.
艾德里安队长只是眯眼微笑。Taiersisighsfinally, sincere apology:
泰尔斯最终还是叹了一口气,真诚道歉:„Baron, I am sorry.”
“男爵阁下,我很抱歉。”BaronQuintinturns head, staresto flush air.
昆廷男爵回过头来,瞪眼吹气。„Oh, Your highness, youbestare!”
“噢,殿下,您最好是!”
The directorunrestrained/no trace of politeness, enhances the volume, delighted, spoke righteously:
宫廷总管毫不客气,提高音量,眉飞色舞,义正词严:„Looksinyourancestor'sshare, youthink that the money of royal familyis the spacefalls, thatis the flesh and blood of the people, can not generously!”
“看在您祖先的份上,您以为王室的钱都是天上掉下来的吗,那都是民脂民膏,慷慨不得!”BaronQuintinstaredhisoneeyesfinally, angrilywalked.
昆廷男爵最后瞪了他一眼,气冲冲地走了。Stays behindincluding the chestnecking, facepanic-strickenTaiersi.
留下含胸缩颈,一脸惊恐的泰尔斯。„Pleaseunderstand,BaronQuintinmanaged the palacegeneral affairsto have30years, the managementwas steadfast, meticulous, actuallyalsostubbornstubborn,”Adriansmilinglyexplained:
“请理解,昆廷男爵管理宫廷庶务已有三十年了,办事踏实,一丝不苟,却也倔强顽固,”艾德里安笑眯眯地解释道:„Pastassumed an awe-inspiring pose, evenEddymustlethisthreepoints.”
“昔日发起威来,连艾迪陛下都要让他三分。”Taiersicompels itselfto pull an understanding the smile.
泰尔斯逼自己扯出一个理解的笑容。„Your highness, horseslightlyLord,”Adrianthensalutes upon meetingwithtwo peopleofficially:
“殿下,马略斯勋爵,”艾德里安这才与两人正式见礼:„Before welcomecomes to the governing, conference room.”
“欢迎来到御前会议室。”
The officer of the guardturns roundto raise hand, two 'shighstone doordemonstrationswill giveTaiersitogetherfully:
卫队长回身扬手,将一道足有两人高的石门展示给泰尔斯:„Alias‚Bullardroom’.”
“别名‘巴拉德室’。”Glimmer that showsindistant placenarrow and smallstonewindow, underillumination that as well astwodo not extinguish a lamp, by the surrounding protectiongloomystone doorroyal familyguardsat leasthavetenpeople, the appearanceis all serious, serious in speech and manner.
在远处狭小石窗透出的微光,以及两盏不灭灯的照明下,围护灰暗石门两侧的王室卫队至少有十人,俱都面貌严肃,不苟言笑。„Bullard?”
“巴拉德?”Taiersinarrows the eye, is sizing upthisspecialstone door, recalledroyal familygenealogical record that for several dayscrammed ferociously:
泰尔斯眯起眼睛,打量着这道特殊的石门,回想这些天恶补的王室系谱:„Yousay the endexperiencethe 3 rd centurystarsking, ‚follower’Bullardfirst?”
“你是说终结历三世纪的星辰国王,‘信徒’巴拉德一世?”Adriansmiled.
艾德里安笑了。„.”
“正是。”„400years ago, ‚Djinn’Kannleadscrazysoldier who stops at no evil‚’to invadeon a large scale, the raging tidesweeps across the kingdom, untilforever the starcityunder- reignson the Bullardkings.”
“四百年前,‘巨灵’卡恩率领无恶不作的‘狂兵’大举入侵,狂潮席卷王国,直到永星城下-恰逢巴拉德王在位。”
The officer of the guardis lookingstone door, the spoken languagefeeling.
卫队长回望着石门,言语感慨。Taiersihesitateda while:
泰尔斯沉吟了一会儿:„Ihave listened tothisstoryin the north side, Grand DukeExter'sKannLuDida, as well ashis‚Djinndraftscrazily’, the northernaristocrattakesitas the honoruntil now.”
“我在北边听过这故事,埃克斯特的卡恩・特卢迪达大公,以及他的‘巨灵狂征’,北地贵族至今以之为荣。”„Therefore, the Bullardroom, hewas bornhere, succeeds to the thronehere?”
“所以,巴拉德室,他是在这里出生,还是在这里继位?”ChiefAdrianlightsnort/hum, shakes the head:
艾德里安队长轻哼一声,摇摇头:„When attacking army has reached the city, the mountains and riversare stave, Bullardfirstcallto darefor the court officialsenter the palace, gets together inoneroom, the making an exceptioncommitteedutyregardless of the family background, bestows a longtableto decide the planto defend the country.”
“兵临城下,山河破碎之际,巴拉德一世召集敢为的廷臣们入宫,齐聚一室,破格委职不论出身,赐座长桌定策守国。”Adriansomewhatis quite sigh with emotion:
艾德里安颇有些感慨:„Before thatis the firstgoverningconference in kingnational history, laterconvenesregularly, the processingstate policy, becomes the systemgradually, inherits for 400years.”
“那是王国史上的第一次御前会议,之后定期召开,处理国政,渐成制度,传承四百年。”„Before thenhasgoverning‚Bullardroom’.”
“遂有御前的‘巴拉德室’。”Taiersiis pondering, has not saidanything.
泰尔斯沉思着,没说什么。
The officer of the guardrealizedsuddenlyoneselfloss of self-control, heself-ridiculessmiles, give away the body.
卫队长突然意识到自己的失态,他自嘲地笑笑,让出身位。„Before governing of your majestyandseveralSirs , the conferenceis held, Your highness, pleaseenter.”
“陛下和几位大人的御前会议正在进行,殿下,请进吧。”Taiersifrowns:
泰尔斯皱起眉头:„Before governing, conference? Now?”
“御前会议?现在?”„PerhapsIshouldwait till......”
“也许我应该等到……”ButLordAdrianbrokehim.
但艾德里安勋爵打断了他。„Your majestyseesto summon, Your highness, butyouareXinghuduke in kingdom,” the tone of officer of the guardis amiable, has the different kindstrength:
“陛下见召,殿下,而您是王国的星湖公爵,”卫队长的语气谦和有礼,却带着别样的力量:„Preludeis right, pleasemustpay great attention to the deportment.”
“廷前奏对,请务必注重仪态。”Adriansaidin a soft voice:
艾德里安轻声道:„Does not need‚north’.”
“不必过于‘北地’。”Taiersibrowselects.
泰尔斯眉头一挑。Adrian said that guardsubordinate who the trendguarded a gate:
艾德里安言罢,走向守门的卫队下属:„Opens the door, Malek, rememberslightly.”
“开门吧,玛里科,记得轻点儿。”Taiersiwhilethisopportunityreorganizationfront piececlothing, does not forgetexcessively, to askbackhorseslightlycalmly:
泰尔斯趁此机会整理衣襟着装,不忘偏过头,不动声色地问背后的马略斯:„Whathasto suggest?”
“有什么建议吗?”Whydoes not know, standshorsebeforeBullardroomat this momentis slightly unemotional:
不知为何,站在巴拉德室前的马略斯此刻面无表情:„Has.”
“有。”Ifhisansweringdoes not haveancient well:
他的回话如无波古井:„Do not askme.”
“别问我。”Taiersiturns headresentfully.
泰尔斯悻悻回头。Good.
好吧。Isbodyguard that hemostlikesis worthily long.
不愧是他最喜欢的亲卫队长。Thissuggestionsincerearrives, was too simply useful.
这建议实诚而到位,简直太有用了。Taiersisatirizedthinks.
泰尔斯讽刺地想。Butheremembersthisall the waygives a cursory look and gains shallow understanding of read the kingportrait, actuallydiscoveredoneselfdo not have the impressiontoBullardfirst.
但他想起这一路上走马观花看过的国王肖像,却发现自己对巴拉德一世没有印象。Has not leaked, is placedin the commoncorner.
不是漏过了,就是摆在不起眼的角落。„Eleanor.”
“埃莉诺。”Lightsound that slowopensinstone door, Taiersilipis motionless, howevermakes noisequiet.
在石门缓开的轻响中,泰尔斯嘴唇不动,幽然出声。
A horseslightlybrowwrinkle, hisquietlyforwardonestep:
身后的马略斯眉头一皱,他悄然向前一步:„What?”
“什么?”Taiersilooks atstone door that gets bigger and bigger, looksgloominess that insideis showing, lightsnort/hum:
泰尔斯看着越开越大的石门,望着里头透出的灰暗,轻哼一声:„400years ago, the Bullardkingsreceive the position of elder brotherinitially, the yearonly17, the crisis-charged, heis difficultto make the feudal lord, the prestigenon-obedience.”
“四百年前,巴拉德王初承兄长之位,年仅十七,面临危机,他难令诸侯,威不服众。”
The princenarrows the eye:
王子眯起眼睛:„Before at that timehad the rightto make an exceptionto hold the governingconferencetruly, decides the planto resist‚Djinndraftscrazily’ the person, is a woman.”
“那时真正有权破例召开御前会议,定策抵挡‘巨灵狂征’的人,是一个女人。”Taiersihas turned head, cracks a smiletohorseslightlysmiles:
泰尔斯回过头,对马略斯破颜一笑:„Right.”
“对。”„Projecting edgequeen mother, Eleanor.”
“铁刺太后,埃莉诺。”horseslightlyfrowns.
马略斯皱起眉头。„Howeverthisplace, actuallyshouldcall‚the Eleanorroom’.”
“而这地方,其实该叫‘埃莉诺室’。”
The nextsecond, Taiersiturns aroundto forward, in the both sidesguard'srespectful and prudentlooks, hepassed over gently and swiftlystone door, submerges the darkness.
下一秒,泰尔斯转身向前,在两侧卫队恭谨的眼神中,他掠过石门,没入黑暗。
The lookis calm and steady.
神色安稳。
The stepis calm.
步履从容。
A lightsound, stone door closesgathers, covers the form of Xinghudukethoroughly.
一声轻响,石门关合,将星湖公爵的身影彻底遮盖。horseslightlylooks atthatsay/wayprofoundstone door, thispurses the lips, the soundseveralcannotobserve:
马略斯看着那道幽深的石门,这才抿了抿嘴,声音几不可察:„Yes.”

“所以,闵迪思厅怎么样,托蒙德?”
The officer of the guardwas askingkindlythishesees the childnephew who grows up, like chatting:

泰尔斯走进御前会议室,发现这里其实比他想象的要小(毕竟有群星之厅和议事厅,包括璨星墓室的对比),穹顶低垂,四壁狭窄,一眼到头,继承了复兴宫厅室特有的阴冷与昏暗。Also is really the smallblackroom.
还真是小黑屋。
The princecomplainedsilently.
王子默默吐槽。Undershining that does not extinguish a lamp, the visioncompletelyplaceislongtables that sat in a circlemanypeople, hear the sounds of peoplefaintly.
不灭灯的照耀下,目光尽处是一张围坐了不少人的长桌,隐隐传来人声。Taiersideeplyinspires, does not goto think that the unhappyfuture, will forwardgradually.
泰尔斯深吸一口气,不去想不开心的未来,缓步向前。Withhisnearness, the longtableperipheralsounds of peopledie away, most peopleturn head, looksbeforegoverning the newcomer of conference.
随着他的靠近,长桌周边的人声渐弱,大部分人回过头来,看向御前会议的新来者。Taiersinotices, onlongtablepresentis not the average person:
泰尔斯注意到,长桌上在座的都不是一般人:
The potbelliedkingdomprime minister, East SeaprotectsdukeBob Coulombstillto be happily smiling, as ifallas before.
大腹便便的王国首相,东海守护公爵鲍勃・库伦依旧一脸笑意,仿佛一切美好如故。Foreign ministerandteacher who heis familiar with„craftyfox”Gilbertis heavyhearted, starts to speak but hesitates.
他熟悉的外交大臣兼老师“狡狐”基尔伯特忧心忡忡,欲言又止。
The Wang Family/princemilitary adviser, the lifeexperienceis rich, nickname„main strength”shuttlebellRedd, includingcanit is said„takes out moneyfrom the pants crotch” the kingdomfinancemanager, „purse”Qiucan/but.
还有王家军事顾问,一生经历丰富,外号“大兵”的梭铎・雷德,包括据说能“从裤裆里掏钱”的王国财政总管,“钱袋子”裘可・曼。OncevisitedExterto visit the prince, at the beginning of the year was just promoted to the businessminister„sharpcheek”ViscountConniesimilarlypresent, friendlyis smilingtohim;Whatdozing offisfarming and animal husbandryminister„miser”LordClappen;Andalmostbecomes the beliefad hocadviser of Taiersitheologyclassteacher, young and promisingsetting sunchurchcentralchurch parishsuffragan bishop, StiglianiDhesse.
曾经到访埃克斯特看望王子,年初刚刚升任商贸大臣的“尖脸蛋”康尼子爵同样在座,正向他友善微笑;打着瞌睡的是农牧大臣“吝啬鬼”克拉彭勋爵;以及差点成为泰尔斯神学课老师的信仰特设顾问,年轻有为的落日教会中央教区副主教,斯蒂利亚尼德斯。Taiersialsonotices, a personstandsunder the longtable the head, is away from honored personis far, thatis the whole facescar of knife wound, seems like the quitefierceman, a pair of sharpeyepuncturestoTaiersi, as ifharbors evil intentions.
泰尔斯还注意到,还有一人站在长桌下首,离诸位贵人距离较远,那是个满脸刀疤,看上去颇为凶恶的男人,一对锐目向泰尔斯刺来,仿佛不怀好意。In the princehearthas doubts: Who is that? Whyheis standingonlyperson?
王子心中疑惑:那是谁?为什么他是唯一站着的人?ButKessel V- master who mostcannotneglect- sitsin the longtableonmost the head, stanceoptionalhemonopolizesbehindstonewindowillumination, under the reversed light the appearanceis unclear, keepsoneto feel the depressingjet blackoutlinealone.
而凯瑟尔五世-此间最不能忽视的主人-坐在长桌的最上首,姿态随意的他独享身后的石窗光照,逆光之下面貌不清,独留一个让人倍感压抑的漆黑轮廓。Bringssomedisturbedly, Taiersiswallows the throat, goes forwardrespectful and prudent.
带着些许忐忑,泰尔斯咽了咽喉咙,恭谨上前。„Father.”
“父亲。”Hesalutesappropriately:
他得体地行礼:„Sir, good day.”
“诸位大人,日安。”Gilbert'sfirststanding up, returns a courtesyrespectful and prudent:
基尔伯特第一个站起身来,恭谨回礼:„DukeTaiersi, good day.”
“泰尔斯公爵,日安。”
Before governing on longtable , the gentlemenmovein abundance, along with the foreign ministersets outto send regards.
长桌上的御前诸君纷纷而动,随外交大臣起身问候。Butperhaps the voice of kingresoundedimmediately, breaksthishadexchanging greetings of significance:
但国王的话音随即响起,打断了这场也许别有意义的寒暄:„Oneselflook for a chair.”
“自己找把椅子。”Ministersswiftlyonestatic.
大臣们则倏然一静。Theyfirstlooked atTaiersi, thenlooked at the king, finallyhas not completedto exchange greetings, returns to the positionincluding the second companythreeplaces.
他们先是看了看泰尔斯,再看了看国王,最终没有完成寒暄,还是连二连三地回位。Gilbertchangesseatintimately, give away the positionforTaiersion own initiative.
基尔伯特贴心地换到身旁的座位,主动为泰尔斯让出位置。Taiersinodsgrateful, goes forwardto sit down, withsittingnodsinanother sidesuffragan bishopStiglianiDhesseexpresses best wishes, heartfortunately.
泰尔斯感激地点点头,上前坐下,与坐在另一侧的斯蒂利亚尼德斯副主教颔首致意,心道还好。At least, theykept the seattothemselves.
至少,他们给自己留了座位。At least, theydo not haveto send a punitive expeditiondirectly.
至少,他们没有直接兴师问罪。At least, theydo not haveto throw a swordcarelessly, makinghim„cut openyour ownthroat”.
至少,他们没有草草扔过来一把剑,让他“割开你自己的喉咙”。On the longtable the head, went against the man of lightto trade the arm of support, knocked the longtable, the wordswere desolate:
长桌上首,逆着光的男人换了条支撑的手臂,敲了敲长桌,话语冷淡:„Continued, shuttlebell.”
“继续说,梭铎。”
These wordsas ifcoldfrostplummets, thisbecause of the princearrives the seriousatmosphere that butdefrostsslightlycongealsagain.
这句话仿佛寒霜骤降,本因王子到来而稍稍解冻的严肃气氛再度凝结。Another side, military advisershuttlebellReddclears throat, hestands up, before the governing, conferencemakes a fresh start.
另一边,军事顾问梭铎・雷德清了清嗓子,他站起身来,御前会议重新开始。„In any event, withdraws the freefort the elitemain forcebeforehandin secret, the ambushopen country, the decision of freeunionis very bold,” a shuttlebell of military garbknocked the longtable, aboveunfolds a giantmap, aboveis suspending the black and whitetwocolorboard game pieces:
“无论如何,事先暗中将精锐主力撤出自由堡,埋伏野外,自由同盟的这一决定无比大胆,”一身戎装的梭铎敲了敲长桌,上面铺开一张巨大的地图,上面摆着黑白两色的棋子:„Notice, ifdefends a citybecause of the interiorvoid the disadvantageous, freefortdowncast, the warended.”
“须知,若因内部空虚而守城不利,自由堡陷落,战争就结束了。”
The shuttlebellis serious, hereachesis labelling„freefort” the castleto symbolize the hand,withdraws a knightfrominside34blackboard game pieces, puts outside the map.
梭铎一脸严肃,他把手伸向标注着“自由堡”的城堡标志,从里头的三四枚黑色棋子里撤出一枚骑士,投放到地图之外。Taiersithennotices, the before subject of thisgoverning, conferenceis nothe, at leastwas notlast nightassassination.
泰尔斯这才注意到,这场御前会议的主题不是他,至少不是昨夜的刺杀。Butyes......
而是……„ShuttlebellSirjustreturnedfrom the westdesolatealong with the standing army,” the Gilbert'ssmallsound saidnearprinceear:
“梭铎大人刚刚随常备军自西荒归来,”基尔伯特在王子耳边小声道:„Canobtain the first lineinformation of Exterwarearly.”
“能更早得到埃克斯特战事的第一线情报。”Exterwar.
埃克斯特战事。
The mood of princeclutchedto tighten- thiswashispreviousone person aloneenterssomeBullardroomnotfeelings.
王子的心情揪紧了-这是他先前孤身走进巴拉德室都未曾有的感觉。Taiersiwrinkles the brow, identifieson the longtable the content of thissidemap: Freefortsinone side, QiYuanchenginanother side, midfeatherinnumerablemountainsrivers, villages and small townscastle.
泰尔斯皱紧眉头,辨认出长桌上这方地图的内容:自由堡在一边,祈远城在另一边,中间间隔无数山川河流,村镇城堡。Butat this moment, more than tenwhiteboard game piecesfromQiYuancheng, butbeginning, enormous and powerful, almostoccupiedmoststrategic places on map.
而此刻,十几枚白色棋子自祈远城而始,浩浩荡荡,几乎占据了地图上的大部分要冲。Theirinfluenceis abundant, withonlyremains2-3black, appears the freefort that is isolated and cuts off from helpto face each other across a great distance.
它们势力雄厚,与只剩2-3枚黑棋,显得孤立无援的自由堡遥遥相对。Intrapped/sleepymouselikecage.
恰如笼中困鼠。Butinthat- Taiersiis looking atmore than tenwhite- hashisfriend.
而那里面-泰尔斯望着十几枚白棋-有他的朋友。„But the previouscontinuous fightingseries of successes, encouragednorth the rampancy and arrogance of person.”
“但此前的连战连捷,助长了北地人的嚣张与傲慢。”„Theyalsothinkopponent20years ago, benefits the fortificationwith the aid of the place, defends stubbornly the firmcityfull power, toonlyleave behind the scatteredmilitaryto maintain the rear area, the main forceelitepushes directly into, dashes toessentialalso the freefort that is difficultto attackat the superior force.”
“他们还以为对手会像二十年前一样,借助地利工事,全力固守坚城,是以只留下零散兵力维持后方,主力精锐长驱直入,以优势兵力直扑最关键也是最难攻的自由堡。”

梭铎话语凝重,他移动棋子,将沿线的十几枚白棋大幅推前,直到把黑方的自由堡三面围拢,仅留一面可疑的空隙。Like the trap that catchesShulongleaves behind.
就像捕鼠笼留下的陷阱。„Theyhave not even spent the energyto confirm, confirmed the occupied area that behindtakeswith easewhetherhas the trick, confirmedinfragmentaryenemy who flees and becomes separatedall the way, is hiding the truemain force.”
“他们甚至没有多花精力去确认一下,确认身后轻松拿下的占领区是否有猫腻,确认一路上逃散的零星敌人里,是否隐藏着真正的主力。”ComparesExter'soverwhelming superiorityonmap, the militarymanageris stroking gently the whitebehind the fragmentaryseveralboard game pieces, appearingheavyandserious.
相比起埃克斯特在地图上的绝对优势,军事总管摩挲着白方身后零星的几个棋子,显得沉重而严肃。

国王没有出声。Gilbertsighs, interposes:
