In the balcony, ageagedSirbishopis smiling, looks atGray. Spread outtwohandsinmidair, waiting.
阳台上,年纪老迈的主教大人微笑着,看着格雷。摊开的两只手顿在半空,等待着。According to the normalcy, Grayshouldpublish an appraisal, andthisappraisalpossiblyis not negative, thenhecanspeak the wordsdownward. Finallypushes torequestsGrayto give loyalty to the king, moves toLion CapitalconclusionfromWhite City.
按照正常来说,格雷应该发表一番评价,并且这番评价不可能是负面的,然后他就可以把话往下说了。最终推向要求格雷效忠国王,从白城搬到狮王都的结论。At least, hethinks.
至少,他是这么想的。However, Gray, hehas not been onlycalmlyis looking at each otherwithbishop.
然而,格雷并没有,他只是静静地跟主教对视着。
The atmospherewas a little awkward.
气氛有点尴尬了。„HeIsaidanythinginprobably.”Graysaidtoblack catlow voice.
“他好像在等我说点什么。”格雷小声对黑猫说道。„Heyouappraisedinhisjustview.”
“他在等你评价一下他刚刚的说法。”„Should Itellhim?”
“我应该告诉他吗?”„No, Catherinesaid that makesyoudo not speak at a venture. Havingwhatissuegoes backto ask that shewas good.”
“不,凯瑟琳说让你不要乱说话。有什么问题回去问她就好了。”„Butheis still waiting formeto appraise.”
“可是他还在等着我评价呢。”„Youfirstdodge, Ifearedyou, as soon asopened the mouthto exposeyounot to have the general knowledge. Can wekeep a goodimpressionin front ofbishopnot?”
“你先搪塞过去吧,我怕你一开口就暴露了你毫无常识。我们得在主教面前留个好印象不是吗?”Therefore, Graysaid: „Igo backto consider, againhowtoldSirbishopmeto feel?”
于是,格雷说:“我回去考虑一下,再告诉主教大人我觉得怎么样好吗?”„Needs...... to consider?” The smile of Sirbishopstiffened, thinks,hehasto brace oneself saying: „Actually, mymeaningis askingyou, has the interest, inwedisseminate the beliefin the great cause, displaymajorrole?”
“需要……考虑一下?”主教大人的笑容都僵住了,想了想,他只好硬着头皮说道:“其实,我的意思是问您,有没有兴趣在我们传播信仰的伟大事业中,发挥更大的作用?”„Icansay that wants?”Grayaskedlow voice.
“我可以说愿意吗?”格雷小声问。„Eh...... could, thisis the model answer. Howeverbestorwaits forCatherineto come backto ask.”black catsaidlow voice.
“额……也许可以吧,这是标准答案。不过最好还是等凯瑟琳回来问一下吧。”黑猫小声说。Therefore, Grayalsosaid: „ThisI must go backto consider.”
于是,格雷又说:“这个我也要回去考虑一下。”„Thisalsowants......”
“这个也要……”
The atmospherewas more awkward, the topiccould not have conducted.
气氛更加尴尬了,话题已经进行不下去。NearbyDeanwantsto interrupt, actuallydoes not dareto interrupt.
一旁的迪恩想插嘴,却又不敢插嘴。
The Shelleyvisionon the bodies of twopeopleback and forth, held the hand of Grayto get hold ofquietly.雪莱的目光在两个人的身上来回,牵着格雷的手悄悄握紧了。Consideredfor quite a while, bishop can only say: „Sirpaladin, youwhetherto tellme, suchissue, why do youalsoneedto go backto consider?”
斟酌了半天,主教只能说:“圣骑士大人,您可否告诉我,这样的问题,为什么你还需要回去考虑一下?”Graysaidrighteously: „Aspaladin, myevery word and deedrepresentedHoly Synod, mustcarefullytreatis good! No matter, wemustshoulder the trust of holy spiritourselvessincerely!”格雷义正辞严地说道:“身为圣骑士,我的一言一行都代表了教廷,必须要谨慎对待才行!无论何时,我们都必须谨记自己肩负着圣灵的信任!”„Stick!”black catpatted the catclawin the armor: „These wordsparticularlysaidlook likepaladin to say!”
“棒!”黑猫在盔甲里拍了拍猫爪子:“这句话说得就特别像一个圣骑士该说的了!”„Real?”Grayis delighted.
“真的吗?”格雷喜出望外。„Naturallyreal, floodSaintup! Thisindicated that the education of Catherineis very useful!”
“当然是真的,都泛圣光了!这说明凯瑟琳的教育十分有用!”„Really was good!”
“真是太好了!”Gray that has blossomedhappilyis looking atbishopas beforemotionlessly, is refusing to compromisewithbishop. Andpreparesto refuse to compromise.
已经乐开了花的格雷依旧一动不动地望着主教,跟主教僵持着。并且准备僵持到底。bishopwas just firm the scalpstartsto tingle with numbnessnow. Heused the split visionto shoot a look atShelleyto hold the hand of Gray, as ifunderstoodanything. Naturally, cansay that misunderstoodanything.主教刚刚硬了的头皮现在开始发麻了。他用余光瞥了一眼雪莱牵着格雷的手,似乎明白了什么。当然,也可以说误解了什么。Therefore, hesmileswas saying: „Good, such being the case, that pleasemust, go backseriouslyto consider,thentoldme the answer. Is anticipatingyourreply.”
于是,他微笑着说道:“好吧,既然如此,那,请您务必,回去认真考虑,然后告诉我答案。期待着您的回复。”„Un! Meeting!”Graysaidearnestly.
“嗯!会的!”格雷认真地说道。
The negotiationshave not startedto end.
得,谈判还没开始就已经结束了。bishopcarried the cupto drink the saliva, is drinkingsilently. Thatvisionis looking atGrayonce for a whilesecretly.主教端着杯子饮了口水,默默地喝着。那目光时不时偷瞄着格雷。
The negotiationsare an art. Why do manypeoplelikespeaking face-to-facerather than the mail exchangeorthroughconveying a message? Because ofspeaking face-to-face, canmakeyouaccuratelyjudge that throughopposite party'smannerchange the idea of opposite party, thenfinallyfacilitates the transaction. But if the opposite partywerewears the maskto negotiate...... thatwithyouto negotiatewith the correspondenceobviouslyis not different.
谈判是一种艺术。为什么很多人喜欢面谈而不是书信往来或者通过传话呢?因为面谈,能让你通过对方的神态变化准确地判断对方的想法,进而最终促成交易。但如果对方是戴着面具跟你谈判……那显然跟书信谈判也就没什么两样了。At this moment, bishophad a powerless feelingsuddenly.
此时此刻,主教忽然产生了一种无力感。Simplyand after nothingmeeting, theywent downstairsto attend the service. The week by bishopbeing managed.
简单而毫无结果的会面之后,他们就下楼参加礼拜了。由主教主持的礼拜。
The processnaturallyisdignifiedandsolemn and respectful.
过程当然是庄严而肃穆的了。Againin the future, ispaying a visit of a group ofclergy, the neighboring regioncatches upmuchspecially. bishopintroducedsimplyGrayseveral, then made one disperse.
再往后,是一大群神职人员的拜见,其中不少还是周边地区特意赶过来的。主教简单地介绍了格雷几句,然后就让人都散了。Againthen, is makes one bringGrayandShelleyvisitseverywhere. Naturally, bishophave not been accompanying.
再接下来,则是让人带着格雷和雪莱四处参观。当然,主教自己并没有陪着去。Regarding the Piercecathedral, Grayshowed the enormousinterest. Althoughhefromheadtotailonly„, un, un”, butwill stop overat every place of visit, the time of settling downis particularly long, listening tonearbyclergyto introducein detail.
对于皮尔斯大教堂,格雷展现了极大的兴趣。虽然他由头到尾无外乎“哦,哦,嗯,嗯”,但每到一处都会逗留,驻足的时间特别长,听着旁边神职人员详细的介绍。Shelleyalsoshowed the enormousinterest, buttoGray, thateyebraved the starquickly.雪莱也展现了极大的兴趣,不过是对格雷的,那眼睛都快冒星星了。As forblack cat, has fallen asleep, but alsohas the snoring.至于黑猫,已经睡着了,还打呼噜。Standsin the balcony, under bishoplooks in the gardenby the slit of glassonegroup of clergybyGrayandShelley that gather round, a helplessness of face.
站在阳台上,主教透过玻璃的缝隙看着底下花园里被一群神职人员围着的格雷和雪莱,一脸的无奈。„It seems like, weguessedwrong.”Hesaidin a soft voice: „Kinghad discussedwithDukeBecherlast night, was rejected. DukeBecheraffirmed that has ventilatedwithhim. Therefore, heknows that justIpreparedto sayanything, will rejectmewith that strangewords. Are youImanywithhiscontact ratio, whatideahave?”
“看来,我们猜错了。”他轻声说道:“国王昨晚已经和贝希尔公爵谈过,被拒绝了。贝希尔公爵肯定已经跟他通过气。所以,他知道刚刚我准备说什么,才会用那么奇怪的话语来拒绝我。你跟他接触比我多,有什么想法吗?”„Eh...... is actually notmany.”Deansaidlow voice: „In fact, hetoWhite City, only hasseveralmonths. Iam only the per weekweekwill seehim. ButIfelt,todayhebringsto comeMissShelley, itselftoexpressanything. Justaction, youalsosaw. Whetherweshouldadjust the strategy, for example, discussedwith the king, removemakeshimrelievewithGregory Familyengagement?”
“额……其实也不是很多。”迪恩小声说道:“事实上,他到白城,也只有几个月时间。我只是每周礼拜会见到他而已。但我觉得,今天他把雪莱小姐带过来,本身就是为了表达什么。还有刚刚的举动,您也看到了。我们是否应该调整一下策略,比如,跟国王商量一下,去掉让他解除与格鲁格鲁家婚约这一条?”„Thatisnot possible.”bishoparrived at the tea tableto sit, said: „Kingneeds the paladinprestige. But ifpaladinwill bringoneto be possiblein the family that the futurethreatenshispower, whatthishasn't earned the support of paladin to distinguishwithhimfrom the beginning?”
“那是不可能的。”主教走到茶几边上坐了下去,道:“国王需要圣骑士的威望。但如果圣骑士会带来一个有可能在未来威胁他权力的家族,那么,这跟他一开始就没获得圣骑士的支持有什么区别呢?”„This was very awkward.”
“这就很为难了。”Is raising head, bishopsighedin a soft voice: „The war of White City, whenIsee with one's own eyesfifthpaladinbesidesHoly Synodfourpaladin, sees the miracle, sees the angeltime, thatmood...... whichclergycannot be excited? The Popedecidesto acknowledgeheforfifthpaladinfinallytime, Ievenfelt,initially the kinginvitedmeto go toWhite Cityto observe, isdarkinholy spiritgivesmyarrangement, contains the mission. But...... the presentissuecame.”
仰着头,主教轻声感叹道:“白城之战的时候,当我亲眼看到除了教廷四位圣骑士之外的第五位圣骑士,看到神迹,看到天使的时候,那种心情……哪一位神职人员能不激动呢?教宗最终决定承认他为第五位圣骑士的时候,我甚至觉得,当初国王邀请我前往白城观战,是冥冥之中圣灵给我的安排,蕴含着使命。可是……现在问题来了。”
The Deanbow the body, calmlyis listening, once for a whilelooks upbishopone.迪恩躬着身,静静地听着,时不时抬头望主教一眼。Spreads out the hand, bishopthensaid: „paladin, has the hugeprestige and power, actuallydoes not grow upinHoly Synod. Weno oneunderstandhim, no oneis familiar withhim. Withhimmost intimate, unexpectedlyis a femaleduke. A stubbornfemaleduke. Oncontinentmaynot haveany otherpaladinto give loyalty to a duke. Reallywants, forthismatterdoes make the Popeordertohim?”
摊开手,主教接着说道:“一位圣骑士,有着巨大的威望和权力,却不是在教廷长大的。我们没有人了解他,没有人熟悉他。跟他最亲近的,居然是一位女公爵。还是一位固执的女公爵。大陆上可没有其他任何一位圣骑士是效忠于一位公爵的。难道,真的要为了这件事让教宗给他下命令吗?”Deanopened the eyevisionto glitter, is hesitatingasking: „Will this...... verybe difficult?”迪恩睁大了眼睛目光闪烁着,犹豫着问道:“这样……会很困难吗?”bishopleaned the faceto look atDeanone, sighed: „Thiswill make the Popefeel,wecould not controloneselfsingle-handedlyrecommendationpaladincompletely. Beforehad the remarkableenhancementbecause ofbirthpaladin, PoperegardingKingdom of Isaacclergy'strust, was nothing left. Do youunderstand the gravity of thismatter?”主教侧过脸看了迪恩一眼,叹道:“这会让教宗觉得,我们完全左右不了自己一手举荐的圣骑士。之前因为诞生圣骑士而有了显著提高的,教宗对于以撒王国神职人员的信任,也就荡然无存了。你明白这件事的严重性吗?”„Understood.”Deanhastilybowlower part of the body.
“明白。”迪恩连忙躬下身去。„Thisadjusted the reason that youherecame, youunderstoodhispersononly. Althoughpossiblyis notunderstoodvery much. After hegoes back, youfind an opportunityto chatwithhimagain. Convincedhim, orhad a look at the means that anythingsolved. Weare impossibleto goto request we not familiarpersonstrongly. Hispresentprestigeis extremely high, ifwithhisdivergentcoming into the open, evenmaymakeusfalltowith the kingnow the sameawkward position. Do youunderstandthismeaning?”
“这就是把你调到这里来的原因了,你是唯一了解他的人。虽然可能也并不是很了解。他回去之后,你再找个机会跟他聊聊。说服他,或者看看有什么解决的办法。我们不可能去强硬地要求一个我们不熟悉的人。他现在威望极高,如果与他的分歧公开化,甚至有可能让我们落到与国王现在一样的尴尬处境。你明白这个意思吗?”„Got it.” The Deanbowlower part of the body, saidagainrespectfully: „AskedSirbishopto feel relieved,Deanwill certainly handlethismatter.”
“明白了。”迪恩再次躬下身去,恭敬地说道:“请主教大人放心,迪恩一定会处理好这件事。”„Ok, thatgaveyou. Hopesbrings a goodnewsforusas soon as possible.”
“行,那就交给你了。希望尽快为我们带来一个好消息。”„Yes.”
“是。”At noon, GrayandShelleyare riding a horseto leave the cathedral.
中午时分,格雷和雪莱就骑着马离开大教堂了。Grayis still tasting, goes out of the church, hiswordswere suddenly many: „The Piercecathedral is really an interestingplace. Is with a history of more than 1000 years. Ifmusttrace, cantrace for more than 7000years ago. The most important thing is, allpeoplewill be old, will die, butthey can always transmitoneselfbeliefto the next generationperson. Onegenerationpasses ononegeneration, has experiencedmanythings, butwill have the newpersoneventually , to continue the previousroad. Thisinherits. If only a person, there is nothing at the worst. More than 7000years. Buteveryoneharbors the samefaith, takes place of the fallen, sets outtoward a goal, this was very extraordinary. holy spirit is really great.”格雷还在回味,一走出教堂,他的话忽然就多了起来:“皮尔斯大教堂真是一个有意思的地方。已经有1000多年的历史。如果要追溯的话,可以追溯到七千多年以前。最重要的是,所有的人都会老,会死,但是他们总是能将自己的信仰传递给下一代人。一代传一代,经历过很多很多的事情,但终究会有新的人,继续之前的路。这就是传承。如果只是一个人的话,那没什么大不了的。七千多年而已。但所有人都怀着一样的信念,前仆后继,朝着一个目标进发,这就很了不起了。圣灵真是伟大。”„Ifonly then a person, howpossiblydoes have more than in 7000?”Shelleyopened the eyeto asklow voice.
“如果只有一个人的话,怎么可能有七千年多呢?”雪莱睁大了眼睛小声问道。„Eh...... Imeant, if. If.”
“额……我是说如果。如果。”„Actually, Ilongam so big, did not haveto look at«Holy Bible»completely, thatbook was too thick.”Shelleywas crooked the head saying: „Listened to your suchsaying, Ialsothought that holy spiritwas very great. Starting today, Imustlook atwellit.”
“其实,我长这么大,还没完整地看完过《圣经》呢,那本书实在太厚了。”雪莱歪着脑袋说:“不过听你这么一说,我也觉得圣灵很伟大了。从今天开始,我要好好地把它看完。”„Real?”
“真的吗?”„Naturally! Can the fianceeaspaladin, hownot be a devoutbeliever?”
“当然!身为圣骑士的未婚妻,怎么可以不是个虔诚的教徒呢?”„That, makingusprobablymakethisworldtogetherwell! Spreads over each corner of the world the peace and lovefaith! Make everyone is honestandgood!”
“那,让我们要一起让这个世界变得更好!将和平与爱的信念传遍世界的每一个角落!让每一个人都变得正直而善良!”„Can thisgoaltoobig...... not can perhaps be completedforever.”Shelleygot hold of the fistto sayearnestly: „But, foryou, I am willingto aim atthis! I must request myselfwithvirtue and belief! Keeps up withyourfootsteps!”
“这个目标会不会太大了……也许永远也完不成。”雪莱握紧了拳头认真地说道:“不过,为了你,我愿意以此为目标!我也要用美德和信仰要求自己!跟上你的脚步!”„WecanbeinhistorygreatestMr. and Mrs.paladin!”Graygrippedtightened the fist.
“我们会是史上最伟大的圣骑士夫妻!”格雷攥紧了拳头。„Right!”Shelleyraisedboth handshigh.
“对!”雪莱高高举起了双手。In any event, inthissunlightalsocalculates that warmnoon, the fiancee who twolichknightsandhewallow the lovereached the newagreement.
无论如何,在这个阳光还算温暖的中午,中二巫妖骑士和他沉迷爱情的未婚妻达成了新的共识。Is riding a horse, theylead the wayslowly, returned tolion palacequickly.
骑着马,他们缓缓前行,很快回到了狮王宫。
......
……By the windowsaw that GrayandShelleyare riding a horseto be cheerful and livelyto walk, EireneandCountGregoryrelaxslowly: „Shouldpass through.”
透过窗户看到格雷和雪莱骑着马一路有说有笑地走来,依琳和格鲁格鲁伯爵缓缓地松了口气:“应该是过关了。”
......
……By the windowsaw that GrayandShelleyare riding a horseto be cheerful and livelyto walk, the kingcomplexion is a little unattractive: „That sidebishopdidn't have the news?”
透过窗户看到格雷和雪莱骑着马一路有说有笑地走来,国王脸色都有点不好看了:“主教那边还没有消息吗?”„Alsono.”
“还没有。”„Sends peopleto urge, mustgive an answer.”
“派人去催,必须给个答复。”„Yes.”
“是。”
......
……Shoves open the door, Graydiscoveredinfiercelyownroomsitsfourpeople.
推开房门,格雷猛地发现自己的房间里坐着四个人。Puts onJonesandDora of armor, the plate, pulling a long faceCatherine.
穿着盔甲的琼斯和朵拉,盘着手,绷着脸的凯瑟琳。Naturally, be with smile on the face, is sweetseems likecandied datesameVivian.
当然,还有面带微笑,甜得好像蜜枣一样的薇薇安。„Hi! paladin, starting today, Iamyourprotectiondevil. First meeting, IcalledVivian, pleaseadvise.”
“嗨!圣骑士,从今天开始,我就是你的守护恶魔。初次见面,我叫薇薇安,请多指教。”Gray„clang”drew out the sword. Thanktayliu, to find the clue makeandtighten, veryentrainshitting of tyrantto enjoy.
