Puts on heavy armor, from the main hall walked with the knight who Gray same wears a mask, arrives in front of Gray step by step, knocks chest armor layer on layer/heavily, said: „Your majesty asked paladin your excellency to enter the palace.” 一位穿着重甲,和格雷一样蒙着面的骑士从大殿里走了出来,一步步来到格雷面前,重重地一敲胸甲,说道:“陛下请圣骑士阁下进殿。” Then, being sideways lets arrive at the one side, calmly is standing. 说完,侧身让到一旁,静静地站着。 Gray is looking at each other with Cedric V by far, the starting to walk footsteps, tread the black rug to march forward step by step. 格雷远远地与塞德里克五世对视着,迈开脚步,踏着黑色的地毯继续一步步向前。 „He is quite old.” This is black cat sees the Cedric V first appraisal. “他好老。”这是黑猫见到塞德里克五世第一句的评价。 Yes, old, is the Cedric V biggest characteristics. The extremely fat obese stature, is long has hung to the ground in the beard and white hair, meat from top to bottom, probably equally overlapping. That eye , the cataract patient is probably same, dim, without half a point appearance. That is scary old. 是的,老,是塞德里克五世最大的特征。臃肿肥胖的身材,长得已经垂到地面上胡须和白发,浑身上下的肉,都好像垮了一样层层叠叠。就连那双眼睛,也好像白内障患者一样,朦朦胧胧的,没有半分神采。那是一种骇人的苍老。 Inlays the full red gem the black imperial crown, the black long gown, extended in the hand of half to wear completely the gem ring from the sleeves similarly. This is not anything, after all is the emperor in hugest human empire, his financial resource, will not compare Holy Synod to be bad. What is strange is the nail of that both hands, the nails of five fingers are ten centimeters completely fully. Such hand, Gray even suspected that he can live normally, can grip the knife and fork feed with both hands normally. 嵌满红色宝石的黑色皇冠,黑色长袍,从衣袖中伸出半截的手上同样戴满了宝石戒指。这不算什么,毕竟是最庞大人类帝国的皇帝,他的财力,绝不会比教廷差。诡异的是那双手的指甲,五只手指的指甲全部都足有十厘米长。这样的手,格雷甚至怀疑他能不能正常地生活,能不能正常地用双手握住刀叉进食。 The black dragon palace is a pitch-dark place, has the lifelike mural sculpture, the fine totem, its detail, good to be flabbergasted. However, such a place, actually almost all decorations are the grey or the black, black hole, swallows all light probably. The armor of emperor near body guard on the scene, is the black. The entire palace only warm tone, is the emperor gem. 黑龙殿是一个黑漆漆的地方,有着栩栩如生的壁画雕塑,精致的图腾,其细节,好得让人咋舌。然而,就这样一个地方,却几乎所有的装饰都是灰色或者黑色的,就好像一个黑洞似的,吞噬所有的光。就连在场的皇帝近身侍卫的铠甲,也是黑色的。全殿唯一的暖色调,是皇帝身上的宝石。 Step by step along the black rug, before Gray comes the throne of Cedric V finally, stops the footsteps, lowered the head slightly in own chest front delimited a cross devotionally. 一步步沿着黑色的地毯,格雷终于来塞德里克五世的王座前,停下脚步,微微低头在自己胸前虔诚地划了个十字架。 „Respectable Emperor Gustav, Cedric, paladin Gray comes to have an audience with you! Hope the Saint light and you in!” “尊敬的古斯塔夫皇帝,塞德里克陛下,圣骑士格雷前来觐见您！愿圣光与您同在！” „Respectable paladin your excellency.” A hoarse and old sound resounded. As if because after the special design, that sound is reverberating in the main hall slowly: „Three years ago, I invited you to the black dragon city. But you have not come, three years, this is the first time that you stepped into the black dragon palace. To be honest, I am very disappointed. I have thought we can be very good allies. After all, your repugnant Holy Synod, but I need a bigger power.” “尊敬的圣骑士阁下。”一个沙哑而苍老的声音响起了。似乎因为经过特殊设计,那声音在大殿中缓缓地回荡着:“三年前,我就邀请你到黑龙城来。可是你没来,三年了,这是你第一次踏入黑龙殿。说实话,我挺失望的。我一直认为我们可以是很好的盟友。毕竟,你讨厌教廷,而我需要更大的权力。” In main hall quiet. 大殿内静悄悄的。 „Bigger ‚power’? This fellow .” Low voice whisper of black cat in the armor said. “更大的‘权力’？这家伙,果然。”黑猫在盔甲里小声嘀咕道。 Cedric V smiled suddenly: „Hehe hehe, you also bring a cat to come. A quiet civet. A charm demon.” 塞德里克五世忽然笑了起来:“呵呵呵呵,你还带着一只猫过来。一只幽灵猫。还有一个魅魔。” All of a sudden, the black cat wool blasted out: „Can he completely understand the armor?” 一下子,黑猫毛都炸开了:“他能看透盔甲？” Hidden went to Vivian of figure is also startled, opened the eye, looks at like a Cedric V of booth lump of fat in throne dull. 就连隐去了身形的薇薇安也怔住了,睁大了眼睛,呆呆地看着如同摊在皇位上的一坨肥肉的塞德里克五世。 Gray does not want to grasp the sword hilt voluntarily, actually discovered that own sword has handed over. 格雷不自觉地想去握剑柄,却发现自己的剑已经交出去了。 „Demon demon young lady, you come out. Like this hides does not have the significance.” Cedric V said in a soft voice: „paladin your excellency, I divulged on own initiative, but wants to let us honestly. Please should not be anxious.” “魅魔小姐,你还是出来吧。这样躲着没意义。”塞德里克五世轻声说道:“还有圣骑士阁下,我主动说破,只是想让我们彼此之间更加坦诚一点而已。请不要紧张。” Gray calmly is looking at Cedric V. 格雷静静地望着塞德里克五世。 , Vivian braced oneself to appear in Gray slowly behind, the single knee knelt down: „Vivian see emperor.” 缓缓地,薇薇安硬着头皮出现在了格雷身后,单膝跪下:“薇薇安参见皇帝陛下。” „Gets up.” Cedric V beckons with the hand gently: „You are not the Holy Synod sequence, is not human. Does not need to salute to me.” “起来吧。”塞德里克五世轻轻摆了摆手:“你不属于教廷序列,也不属于人类。不需要向我行礼。” Vivian, stood dull slowly. 薇薇安呆愣地,缓缓地站了起来。 Regarding appearance of suddenly Vivian, an all around emperor's guards response does not have, seems like matter in anticipation. 对于薇薇安的忽然出现,四周皇帝的守卫们一点反应都没有,就好像意料中的事情似的。 „Gray, I thought that this emperor has the issue.” Vivian said in the Gray mind in a low voice: „Not only the emperor has the issue, this main hall also has the issue, these guards. I felt here all has the issue.” “格雷,我觉得这个皇帝有问题。”薇薇安在格雷的脑海中低声说道:“不只皇帝有问题,这个大殿也有问题,还有这些侍卫。我觉得这里所有的都有问题。” „I know.” Gray replied in a soft voice. “我知道。”格雷轻声答道。 „Here not others.” Cedric V coughed two, said in a soft voice: „We opened wide words saying. I do not like Holy Synod, because they managed many. I hope that...... is more free. This is the reason that I want to make you come initially. I not, because the Holy Synod mountain is actually my territory, but stands in you and Holy Synod conflict that side Holy Synod. Other countries, they fear you, feared that your power of church will threaten their royal power. But I did not fear, because the Gustav empire is unique. I do not think that the standards of other countries, can certainly apply mechanically in the Gustav empire.” “这里没有别人。”塞德里克五世干咳了两声,轻声说道:“我们就把话敞开了说吧。我不喜欢教廷,因为他们管得太多了。我希望……更加自由一些。这是我当初想让你过来的原因。我并没有因为教廷山其实是我的领地,而在你与教廷的冲突中站在教廷那一边。其他的国家,他们惧怕你,怕你的教权会威胁到他们的王权。但我不怕,因为古斯塔夫帝国是独一无二的。我并不认为其他国家的标准,一定可以套用在古斯塔夫帝国上。” Deeply inspires, Cedric V then said: „But you rejected me. Naturally, afterward you reached the agreement with the Pope, you were also useless to me, therefore I have not continued to urge you to the black dragon city. However, you as if quarrelled with Holy Synod. I felt foundation that we cooperate, there are. At this time, I heard an unthinkable matter. Are you lich? This is that two red clothes bishop that escapes from the Holy Synod mountain tells me. They do not have other place, can only hope in my protection. Therefore, they told my news, vowed solemnly that even dares by own life guarantee. Originally I do not believe that but their people already in my hand, even if must lie, I did not think that they will select such a momentarily possibly punctured lie. Therefore, I choose believe them temporarily, and starts to try to prove. Finally, dragon God told me, you truly were lich.” 深深吸了口气,塞德里克五世接着说道:“可你拒绝了我。当然,后来你跟教宗达成了协议,你对我也就没用了,所以我并没有继续催促你到黑龙城来。不过,你跟教廷似乎又反目了。我觉得我们合作的基础,又有了。就在这时候,我听到了一件匪夷所思的事情。你是一只巫妖？这是那两个从教廷山逃出来的红衣主教告诉我的。他们没有别的地方去,只能寄望于我的保护。所以,他们告诉了我这个消息,信誓旦旦地,甚至敢以自己的性命担保。本来我是不信的,但他们人已经在我手上了,即使要撒谎,我也不觉得他们会挑这么一个随时可能被戳破的谎言。所以,我选择暂时相信他们,并开始求证。结果,龙神告诉我,你确实是一只巫妖。” „Dragon god?” Gray was startled. “龙神？”格雷怔了一下。 „Yes, dragon God. The Gustav imperial family, has received the asylum of dragon god.” Cedric V smiles, then said: „Dragon god not only told me you are lich, but also told me the interesting matter. For example, you and between holy spirit have the agreement, once you were crusaded against by human because of the status exposure of lich , holy spirit will also abandon you. Also, you and between Demon Lord have the contract, by the contract, Demon Lord lends you his strength. These I know.” “是的,龙神。古斯塔夫皇室,一直都受到龙神的庇护。”塞德里克五世笑了笑,接着说道:“龙神不只告诉我你是一只巫妖,还告诉了我许多有趣的事情。例如,你跟圣灵之间有协议,一旦你因为巫妖的身份曝光而受到人类讨伐,那么,圣灵也会抛弃你。还有,你跟魔主之间有契约,借由契约,魔主将他的力量借给你。这些我都知道。” Gray calmly is listening, looks at Cedric V, the eye socket fire of soul is burning crazily. 格雷静静地听着,望着塞德里克五世,眼眶中的灵魂之火在疯狂地燃烧着。 Vivian has stared the circle the eye, turned very quiet. 薇薇安已经瞪圆了眼睛,屏住了呼吸。 black cat has tarried. 黑猫都已经呆住了。 Cedric V is smiling in a soft voice, that vision is hanging down, drowsy, sound actually especially clear. He said leisurely: „First told you these, was hopes you in the following talk, prudent. Avoids some not happy experiences. After all, we hope that this meeting can have one to let each other happy result. Not?” 塞德里克五世轻声地笑着,那目光低垂着,昏昏欲睡,声音却格外地清楚。他悠悠地说道:“先告诉你这些,是希望你在接下来的谈话里,慎重。避免有一些不愉快的经历。毕竟,我们都希望这次会面能有一个让彼此都愉快的结果。不是吗？” „If I do reject?” Gray asked. “如果我拒绝呢？”格雷反问道。 „Gray! They had not proposed that calls on you to reject?” black cat frightened to scream. “格雷！他们还没提出要求你就要拒绝？”黑猫吓得都尖叫了起来。 Vivian also frightened to look toward Gray hastily. 薇薇安也吓得连忙朝格雷望了过去。 „I had not said that what I want, paladin your excellency, do you want to reject me?” Cedric V asked in a soft voice. “我还没说我想要什么,圣骑士阁下,你就要拒绝我吗？”塞德里克五世轻声问道。 „I want to know the result of rejection.” Gray said bravely: „Your talk way, and method, making me feel that you want, will not be a frank and upright agreement.” “我只是想知道拒绝的结果而已。”格雷毫不畏惧地说道:“您的谈话方式,以及手段,让我觉得您想要的,不会是一份光明正大的协议。” „Why you will count on that this is a frank and upright agreement?” Cedric V is smiling, coughed gently two, said: „I do not put forward any request and ensure keeps secret for you, then pastes city gate this agreement. You felt, this is a frank and upright agreement?” “你为什么会指望这是一份光明正大的协议呢？”塞德里克五世笑着,轻轻咳嗽了两声,说道:“我不提任何要求,保证为你保密,然后将这份协议贴到城门口。你觉得,这算不算是一份光明正大的协议呢？” Gray calmly is looking at Cedric V. 格雷静静地望着塞德里克五世。 „No, this is not a frank and upright agreement, this from the start is an invalid agreement.” Cedric V shakes the head, then said: „, when because it reveals to the public, this agreement does not have the significance. You are lich, your agreement, originally not frank and upright.” “不,这不是一份光明正大的协议,这压根就是一份无效的协议。”塞德里克五世摇了摇头,接着说道:“因为当它公之于众的时候,这份协议就已经没有意义了。你是一只巫妖,你的协议,本来就没有光明正大可言。” Has not waited for Gray to open the mouth to refute, black cat had also screamed: „Gray! I thought that you should listen to him to say anything! First listens! It is not good denied again! Calculates that I asked you! Do not reject directly!” 还没等格雷开口反驳,黑猫已经又是尖叫了起来:“格雷！我觉得你应该听听他说什么！先听！不行再否认！算我求你了！不要直接拒绝！” Vivian also followed to echo: „Gray, he knows you with the specific content of holy spirit agreement, this with red clothes bishop different...... . Moreover, the Gustav imperial family has dragon God the asylum! I thought what he said is real!” 薇薇安也跟着附和了起来:“格雷,他知道你跟圣灵约定的具体内容,这跟红衣主教们不一样……而且,古斯塔夫皇室拥有龙神的庇护！我觉得他说的是真的！” both sides on are refusing to budge, Gray looks at Cedric V, the eye socket fire of soul is inciting to burn. 双方就这么僵持着,格雷望着塞德里克五世,眼眶中的灵魂之火在滋滋燃烧着。 Cedric V is smiling, sits in the throne, is gazing at Gray. 塞德里克五世微笑着,坐在皇位上,注视着格雷。 black cat and Vivian are anxious tremble. 黑猫和薇薇安都紧张得瑟瑟发抖。 Some little time, Gray replied in a soft voice: „You said that what agreement you do want?” 好一会,格雷才轻声答道:“您说吧,您想要什么协议？” „I want you not to intervene my any policy, remember, is any. Holy Synod that you, as well as you control. I really do not need you to provide the support, but requests you at anything, remains neutral.” “我要你不干预我的任何政策,记住,是任何。你,以及你控制的教廷。我不是很需要你们提供支持,但要求你在任何事情上,保持中立。” „Even if you do evil, I can still remain neutral?” “即使您作恶,我也要保持中立吗？” „‚Doing evil’? Hehe hehe, this word usage, is a little grating. I want to decorate with other glossaries, beautify it. But objectively, yes. I request you not to intervene my any business, Gustav including the bishop appointment and dismissal power of church gives me in together, included ‚doing evil’ power that the power, as well as declares war freely. In particular, I want to become the mankind's common emperor. I think that you should understand my meaning.” “‘作恶’？呵呵呵呵,这个用词,有点刺耳。我很想用其他词汇来修饰,美化它。但客观上来说,是的。我要求你不干预我的任何事务,将古斯塔夫境内包括主教任免的教权一起交给我,也包括了‘作恶’的权力,以及自由宣战的权力。确切地说,我想成为人类共同的皇帝。我想你应该懂我的意思。” The corner of the eye of black cat has been twitching. 黑猫的眼角都已经在抽搐了。 Gray replied loudly: „paladin will not sit by and do nothing to the evil.” 格雷高声回答道:“圣骑士不会对罪恶坐视不理。” „But your lich status needs you to look but not see something.” Cedric V shrugged. “但你巫妖的身份需要你对有些事情视而不见。”塞德里克五世摊了摊手。 „This is contrary to my pledge. You proposed that such request, is to trampling that I believe.” “这有违我的誓约。您提出这样的要求,是对我信仰的践踏。” „Everyone 's belief sells at a discount, you are lich, should not be exceptional.” “每一个人的信仰都打了折扣,你是一只巫妖,更不应该例外。” „But I reject this discount. If I accept, I will not request myself with the pledge, will not conflict with Holy Synod, by present this status, will not stand before you. Could not provide you to want.” “可我拒绝这种折扣。如果我接受,我就不会用誓约要求自己,不会与教廷冲突,更不会以现在这种身份,站在您面前。也提供不了您所想要的。” „Therefore, this did calculate the breakdown of negotiation?” Cedric V closed the eye slowly. “所以,这算谈判破裂了吗？”塞德里克五世缓缓地闭上了眼睛。 „I want, we unable to reach the identical view in the direction that you hope.” Gazes at Cedric V, Gray is replying in a soft voice. “我想是的,我们无法在您希望的方向上达成一致意见。”注视着塞德里克五世,格雷轻声答道。 All of a sudden, the atmosphere in entire main hall rapidly becomes constrains. 一下子,整个大殿中的气氛迅速变得压抑。 black cat and Vivian were shocked. 黑猫和薇薇安都惊呆了。 ...... …… Merely less than one hour, the negotiations ended. This usually only has two possibilities. One type is the negotiations is smooth, one finishes talking. Another type is the negotiations is not smooth, completely no means discussed. 仅仅一个小时不到,谈判就结束了。这通常只有两种可能。一种是谈判非常顺利,一下就谈完。另一种是谈判非常不顺利,完全没办法谈。 Obviously, negotiations between Gray and Cedric V, belong to the latter. 很显然,格雷与塞德里克五世之间的谈判,属于后者。 Gray goes out of the main hall time, black cat chaotic discretion: „What to do? His anything knows! So long as his always you declare war, we ended! holy spirit will join punitive expedition immediately the ranks! What to do should we?” 格雷走出大殿的时候,黑猫都乱了分寸了:“怎么办？他什么都知道！只要他一向你宣战,我们就完了！圣灵会立即加入讨伐的行列！我们应该怎么办？” „Gray, can you communicate with Demon Lord?” The breath of Vivian was rapid: „You best ask Demon Lord personally his meaning. If holy spirit crusades against us, he can abandon us immediately? After all when the time comes, you no longer are paladin, cannot achieve him to want......” “格雷,你能跟魔主沟通吗？”薇薇安的呼吸都急促了:“你最好亲口问问魔主他的意思。如果圣灵讨伐我们,他会不会立即抛弃我们？毕竟到时候,你就不再是圣骑士,也做不到他想要的了……” Gray is still probably nothing happened tranquil is the same. 格雷却依旧平静得好像什么都没发生一样。 A black armor knight blocked the Gray way, said in a soft voice: „paladin your excellency, your majesty thought that you come to a black dragon city rarely, had better be able stay for several days, can taking this opportunity, wear in each other viewpoint. I have sent people to help you as well as your subordinate arrange the dwelling.” 一位黑甲骑士拦住了格雷的去路,轻声说道:“圣骑士阁下,陛下觉得您难得来一趟黑龙城,最好能多住几天,也可以借着这个机会,磨合一下彼此的观点。我已经派人帮您以及您的部下安排住处了。” Has turned head, Gray saw from afar sat Cedric V in throne carried the cup that thought of the wine, smiled is gazing at Gray. 回过头,格雷远远地看到坐在王位上的塞德里克五世端起了装着葡萄酒的杯子,微笑着注视着格雷。 „Good.” Gray replied in a soft voice. “好的。”格雷轻声答道。 „Good, he also prepared then to discuss that this indicated also has the opportunity!” black cat relaxes finally. “太好了,他还准备接着谈,这说明还有机会！”黑猫总算松了口气。 Vivian is actually stunned of face: „Did he just speak to the aide?” 薇薇安却是一脸的错愕:“他刚刚跟侍从说话了吗？” „What do you mean?” black cat gawked. “什么意思？”黑猫愣了一下。 „No! This indicated that he is like me and Gray, is the magic induction that uses!” “没有！这说明他跟我和格雷一样,也是用的魔法感应！” „Is he a magician?” “他是魔法师？” „But his body does not have the magic to fluctuate!” “可他的身上没有魔法波动！” „What situation is that?” “那是什么情况？” „I don't know either, I have started to suspect that now these emperors nearly waited on under the mask are anything!” “我也不知道,我现在已经开始怀疑这些皇帝近侍面罩下是什么了！” „It is not the dragon......” “不会都是龙吧……” black cat and Vivian are discussing. 黑猫和薇薇安议论着。 Gray, went down the stair with that black armor knight tranquilly step by step. 格雷平静地,跟着那名黑甲骑士一步步走下了台阶。 Gustav bishop had left, is not inferior in the stair he. 古斯塔夫主教已经离开了,并没有在台阶下等他。 The black armor knight brings Gray to continue along long, the broad Gustav imperial palace main road walks out. 黑甲骑士带着格雷继续沿着长长的,宽阔的古斯塔夫皇宫大道往外走。 ...... …… At this moment, in the black dragon palace, two shadows had reappeared from Cedric V behind huge dragon totem mural, is surrounding Cedric V, like black dense fog. 此时此刻,黑龙殿内,两个阴影已经从塞德里克五世身后的巨幅龙图腾壁画中浮现了出来,环绕着塞德里克五世,如同一阵黑色的迷雾。 That picture, is quite strange, around emperor nearly waits on is actually similar to statues calmly to stand as before equally, as if nothing happened. 那画面,极为诡异,皇帝四周的近侍却依旧如同一尊尊的石像一样静静地站着,仿佛什么都没发生。 „This only lich, is not a good negotiating partner.” A female sound said. “这只巫妖,不是一个好的谈判对象。”一个女性的声音说。 „Any lich is not the good negotiating partner, this we have long known. Has not thought reason that this does not talk about, unexpectedly is because believes? Believed this type of bewildered thing most to have a headache. It seems like that he really transformed the disciple from inside to outside.” This is a masculine sound. “任何巫妖都不会是好的谈判对象,这我们早就知道了。只是没想到这一只不好谈的原因,居然是因为信仰？信仰这种莫名其妙的东西最让人头疼了。看来,他是真的将自己由内而外改造成圣徒了。”这是一个男性的声音。 Cedric V begins supinely, completely did not have just now dignity, asked like a pitiful old man confusedly: „As your servant, how I should do? Respectable dragon god.” 塞德里克五世仰起头,全然没有了方才的威严,像一个可怜的老头一样迷茫地问道:“身为您的奴仆,我应该怎么做？尊敬的龙神。” „How to do? This is very awkward.” The masculine sound said: „I think he will submit, but now does not seem like. Chatted with him as far as possible. Compares in revealing him, his coordination, to us is a bigger benefit. The benefit that naturally, if he is willing the degree of coordinates to be lower than reveals him to provide, then we can only choose to force the heaven to crusade against him. After all, making the Holy Synod reputation ruin, to us is also another advantage.” “怎么做？这很为难呀。”男性的声音说道:“我本来以为他会屈服的,但现在看来似乎不是。尽量跟他谈谈吧。相比于揭穿他,他的配合,对我们来说才是更大的利益。当然,如果他愿意配合的程度低于揭穿他可以带来的好处,那么我们只能选择逼迫天堂讨伐他了。毕竟,让教廷名声败坏,对我们来说也是另一种好处。” „Compliant, respectable dragon god!” Cedric replied. “遵命,尊敬的龙神！”塞德里克答道。
