In the main hall is silent, each red clothes bishop opened the eye, looks at Gray cautiously. 大殿之中寂静无声,每一位红衣主教都睁大了眼睛,小心翼翼地看着格雷。 Idol face in light shadow. 神像的脸庞在光影之间。 Levi calmly is lying down, panting for breath. 李维静静地躺着,喘息着。 Puts on three paladin of armor calmly, was good is arranged to sit the back row because of red clothes bishop equally. 穿着盔甲的三位圣骑士静静地,好在红衣主教一样被安排坐到了后排。 Gray stands in the main hall center, is leaning on the long sword. 格雷站在大殿的正中,拄着长剑。 „I heard that among you have the candidates of three Popes.” Gray took out own two tickets from the armor, places on the desktop, then said: „I now, I give you a garnering votes opportunity. You after me elaborated one by one you become the Pope, guiding principle that will carry out. If middle some makes me feel satisfied, then I will cast the ticket to him. However, if after this person takes office, has not achieved itself to pledge that then, I to violate the good faith the reason, executes him.” “听说,你们当中有三位教宗的候选者。”格雷从盔甲中取出了自己的两票,放在桌面上,接着说道:“我现在,我给你们一个拉票的机会。你们挨个向我阐述你们成为教宗之后,将执行的纲领。如果当中某一位让我觉得满意,那么我会把票投给他。但是,如果这个人上任之后,没有做到自己承诺的,那么,我将以违背信义的理由,处决他。” „Does place...... execute?” Red clothes bishop in an uproar on the scene. “处……处决？”在场的红衣主教一片哗然。 „Can each point achieve?” Some people asked in a low voice. “每一点都必须做到？”有人低声问道。 „Naturally.” Gray replied in a soft voice: „Matter of commitment, must certainly achieve. Why otherwise called the commitment? Don't you agree with my viewpoint?” “当然。”格雷轻声答道:“承诺的事情,肯定是要做到的。不然为什么叫承诺呢？你们不同意我的观点吗？” In main hall completely silent, numerous red clothes bishop shrank the neck as if by prior agreement, dumbfounded. Only Anthony III did not smile carefully. 大殿之中鸦雀无声,一众红衣主教不约而同地缩了缩脖子,哑口无言。唯独安东尼三世不小心笑了出来。 Yes, lich is such earnest. If you dare to write the bounced check to lich, then you are prepared to undertake by lich are wiped the risk of neck. This is why the lich advisory council did not have the leader. 是的,巫妖就是这么认真。如果你敢对巫妖开空头支票,那么你就要准备好承担被巫妖抹脖子的风险。这就是为什么巫妖评议会一直没有头领了。 Carl walked from out of the door, leads several silver moon knights, but also is sending under custody 67 panic clergy, with setting pen to paper, paper, has the ink. 卡尔从门外走了进来,带着几个银月骑士,还押送着六七个惊慌失措的神职人员,拿着笔、纸、还有墨水。 „Sir paladin, the person brought.” “圣骑士大人,人带到了。” „Good, good work.” “好的,辛苦了。” Gray beckons with the hand, Carl and several silver moon knights put down the pen and paper that bring, the ink, drew back. That 67 clergy stand in the one side cautiously. 格雷摆了摆手,卡尔和几个银月骑士放下带上来的笔、纸,还有墨水,就都退了下去。那六七个神职人员小心翼翼地站在一旁。 „Now, making us come a fair and just election.” Gray increased own volume slightly, said: „You said that will be recorded. Then signs the name, delivers to front of regional bishop, making them vote. Who has the opinion?” “现在,让我们来一次公平公正的选举。”格雷微微加大了自己的音量,说道:“你们所说的,都会被记录下来。然后签上名,送到各地的主教面前,让他们投票。有谁有意见吗？” In main hall quiet. 大殿里静悄悄的。 Some little time, some people raise hand tremblingly. That is one is gray-haired, the heavy features, keep small beard face aristocrat style red clothes bishop. 好一会,有人颤颤巍巍地举起手来。那是一个头发斑白,浓眉大眼,留着小胡子一脸贵族气派的红衣主教。 „Sir Domino, you are also one of the candidates. Has what opinion, please say.” Gray said respectfully. “多明尼尔大人,您也是参选者之一。有什么意见,请说。”格雷恭敬地说道。 This respectful, Domino may really unable to enjoy. 这份恭敬,多明尼尔可真是消受不起了。 He holds the arm rest of chair, stood awkwardly, said in a soft voice: „This...... this was too absurd, does not have any election, is held in this case.” 他扶着椅子的扶手,尴尬地站了起来,轻声说道:“这……这太荒谬了,没有任何一次选举,是在这种情况下进行的。” „Also does not have any lich has become paladin, or disciple not? Matter always has the first time.” “也没有任何一只巫妖当上过圣骑士,或者圣徒不是吗？事情总有第一次。” These words come out, immediately the people in main hall discussed low voice. Gray has not actually heard to be the same probably completely. 这句话一出来,顿时大殿中的人都小声议论了起来。格雷却好像完全没听到一样。 „But......” “可是……” „Can the guiding principle of Sir Domino not exposed to up? Cannot make others know. In fact doesn't want to carry out?” “难道多明尼尔大人的纲领见不得光？不能让别人知道。或者,实际上不想执行？” „No, but, was only...... no, I did not have the opinion.” Domino haunches wipes the smile, sat honestly. “不,只是,只是……没什么了,我没有意见了。”多明尼尔强撑起一抹微笑,老实地坐了回去。 „Also do some people have the different opinions?” Gray shouts loudly said. “还有人有不同的意见吗？”格雷高声呼喊道。 That sound is reverberating in the main hall. 那声音在大殿中回荡着。 „His is directly acknowledged were oneself lich?” “他这是直接承认自己是巫妖了吗？” „Oh...... he did not think that what issue like this has?” “天哪……他就不觉得这样有什么问题吗？” „Why holy spirit will allow that he this?” “为什么圣灵会容许他这样做？” Red clothes bishop are discussing in a low voice, actually no one dares to stand to provoke Gray directly. 红衣主教们低声议论着,却没有人敢站起来直接挑衅格雷。 „Gray.” The Catherine sound resounded in the Gray mind. “格雷。”凯瑟琳的声音在格雷脑海中响起了。 „Catherine? Shouldn't you stay in Port Salted Fish?” “凯瑟琳？你不是应该呆在咸鱼港吗？” „Did I just receive...... you who the notice catches up should still to remember you with the agreement of holy spirit? So long as your status were exposed......” “我刚刚接到通知赶过来的……你应该还记得你跟圣灵的约定吧？只要你的身份被揭露……” „Was crusaded against by human, will holy spirit follow to crusade against me?” “被人类讨伐,圣灵就会跟着讨伐我？” „Yes. I think that this agreement is not cracks a joke, you...... have been equal to yourself to acknowledge now.” “是的。我认为这个约定不是开玩笑的,你现在……已经等同于自己承认了。” „I know.” “我知道。” Disregards remonstration of Catherine, Gray then said loudly: „If no one has the opinion, then elected formally starts.” 无视凯瑟琳的劝谏,格雷接着高声说道:“如果没有人有意见,那么选举就正式开始了。” That sound is reverberating in the main hall slowly. 那声音在大殿中缓缓回荡着。 According to the moonlight of idol face in presented clear, is similar to the Saint light. 照着神像脸庞的月光中出现了点点晶莹,类似于圣光。 However, the wind got up. 然而,风起了。 In the sky of main hall, the dark cloud swiftly condenses, the lightning walks in the violent. Sends out intermittently like wild animal general thundering, camouflaged the moonlight thoroughly. 就在大殿的上空,乌云迅速凝聚,闪电在暴走。发出阵阵如同野兽一般的轰鸣,彻底遮蔽了月光。 The people outside main hall are looking dumbfoundedly. 大殿外的人都在目瞪口呆地看着。 Gray the fire of soul is burning fiercely. 格雷的灵魂之火在剧烈燃烧。 In bellow, those present, gradually peaceful. 轰鸣声中,在场的人,也渐渐地都安静了下来。 „Gray, you...... you are using military force control entire Holy Synod, holy spirit not to support you to do that.” Catherine continues to remonstrate in the Gray mind. “格雷,你……你在用武力控制整个教廷,圣灵不会支持你这么做的。”凯瑟琳继续在格雷的脑海中劝谏着。 „But haven't they opposed? Just like they have not opposed the putrefication of Holy Synod.” Vivian ridiculed: „I did not think that makes what issue, Gray is in charge of an election. Don't the disciples, have a qualifications host Papal conclave?” “但是他们也没反对不是吗？正如他们没有反对教廷的腐化。”薇薇安讥讽道:“我不觉得这么做有什么问题,格雷只是在主持一场选举而已。圣徒,难道没有资格主持一场教宗选举？” „Good.” Gray does not seem to heard general, then said loudly: „Now, I announced as disciple, the campaign of Pope starts now. Who thinks that first did elaborate own guiding principle?” “好的。”格雷仿佛没有听到一般,高声接着说道:“现在,我以圣徒的身份宣布,教宗的竞选现在开始。谁想第一个阐述自己的纲领？” In main hall quiet, red clothes bishop lower the head, is actually observing every action and every movement of surrounding person cautiously. 大殿内静悄悄的,红衣主教们一个个都低着头,却又小心翼翼地观察着周围人的一举一动。 „Order actually has no relations, because of everyone sufficient time speech.” Gray took a fast look around the people, the vision is falling another campaigner finally, secure II. “顺序其实没有什么关系,因为每一个人都会充足的时间发言。”格雷扫视着众人,目光最后落到了另一个竞选者,安奇罗二世身上。 That is one is haggard-looking, remains must steadily, gray-haired old person. 那是一个面容消瘦,留着长须,头发斑白的老人。 „Sir secure, might as well you first come.” “安奇罗大人,不如就您先来吧。” „I?” Been sweating profusely secure II has a scare. “我？”已经满头大汗的安奇罗二世吓了一跳。 „Originally only has two candidates, you ran finally suddenly. You do not want to let as soon as possible as we all know, if chooses you to be the Pope, what will bring to change for Holy Synod?” “本来只有两位参选者,您是最后忽然参选的。难道您不想尽快让大家都知道,如果选择您当教宗,会为教廷带来什么变化吗？” „Naturally thinks, but...... was only......” secure II sobbed a saliva, said low voice: „Perhaps I also arrange.” “当然想,只是……只是……”安奇罗二世干咽了口唾沫,小声说道:“我还没准备好。” „Has not prepared, can't make me know?” Gray continues to closely examine. “是没有准备好,还是不能让我知道呢？”格雷继续追问着。 secure II replied categorically: „Has not prepared.” 安奇罗二世斩钉截铁地答道:“没有准备好。” Gray does not give up as before, then said: „Such being the case, that I asked, you replied. Reforms in the southern teaching tax regarding me, what view do you have?” 格雷依旧不放弃,接着说道:“既然如此,那就我来问,您来回答好了。对于我在南方的教税改革,您有什么看法？” Asked the core issue all of a sudden, secure II expression obviously was stiff. 一下子问到核心问题,安奇罗二世表情明显僵了一下。 That other, his two competitors, Dahlen IV, where Domino situation also very to go, is sweating profusely. 那其他的,他的两个竞争对手,达伦四世,多明尼尔情况也好不到哪去,一个个都满头大汗的。 „I......” secure II sobbed a saliva: „I felt, good.” “我……”安奇罗二世干咽了口唾沫:“我觉得,挺好的。” „Determination? If you feel good, but after becoming the Pope, actually changes the mind, I think you violate the agreement.” “确定吗？如果您觉得不错,而当上教宗之后,却又改变主意,我可是会认为您违背约定的。” „Yes, I feel good.” secure II is smiling reluctantly: „If, if I can mount the position of bishop, then I will guarantee teaches the tax to reform to carry out smoothly.” “是的,我觉得挺好的。”安奇罗二世勉强地笑着:“如果,如果我能够登上主教之位,那么我将确保教税改革顺利地执行下去。” „Sir Dahlen? How do you feel?” “达伦大人呢？您觉得怎么样？” „I...... I approve of the viewpoint of Sir secure.” “我……我赞同安奇罗大人的观点。” „But before you told me is not this.” “可是您之前跟我说的可不是这样。” „Before?” Red clothes bishop on the scene were immediately ignorant: „Has he contacted with Gray secretly?” “之前？”在场红衣主教们顿时都懵了:“他偷偷跟格雷接触过了？” „Yes!” Dahlen IV braces oneself, stands to shout simply: „Before I had truly told Sir paladin, the present teaching tax is inappropriate! Not only the south should not force, the north should not force! The south and north, should not have any difference! The clergy have the opinion to be normal, but, believes in holy spirit, the dissemination belief should not for the wealth! We should guide them to use another angle to view this issue, rather than obeys them, the correct reform will change! As holy spirit in the envoy of the world, we should overcome the difficulties! Rather than evades! To the sacred path, is never smooth!” “是的！”达伦四世硬着头皮,干脆站起来喊道:“之前我确实跟圣骑士大人说过,现行的教税是不合适的！不只南方不应该强制,北方也不应该强制！南方与北方,不应该有任何差别！神职人员有意见是正常的,但是,信奉圣灵,传播信仰不应该是为了钱财！我们应该引导他们用另一种角度看这个问题,而不是顺从他们,将原本正确的改革又改回去！身为圣灵在人间的使者,我们应该去克服困难！而不是逃避！通往神圣的道路,从来不平坦！” These words were loud and clear, all of a sudden, red clothes bishop in main hall opened the eye, looks at Dahlen IV stunned. 这一番话可谓是掷地有声了,一下子,大殿中的红衣主教们睁大了眼睛,错愕地看着达伦四世。 Dahlen IV became flushed the face, actually braced oneself to stick out chest as before, stares in a big way the eye to observe the situation the people. 达伦四世涨红了脸,却依旧硬着头皮挺起胸膛,瞪大了眼睛环视众人。 Looks Dahlen IV who spoke righteously, Gray said lightly: „I think that this truth Sir Dahlen does not understand. Never expected that Sir Dahlen understands, but does not do. Is this?” 看着义正辞严的达伦四世,格雷淡淡说道:“我以为这个道理达伦大人不懂。没想到达伦大人懂,只是不去做而已。是这样吗？” „Eh...... the comprehension, always requires the time.” Dahlen IV nods awkwardly, is smiling sitting down. “额……领悟,总是需要时间的。”达伦四世尴尬地点头,微笑着坐下。 „Sir Domino?” The Gray vision turned to the last candidate. “多明尼尔大人呢？”格雷的目光又转向了最后一个候选者。 Domino hand trembled slightly. 多明尼尔的手微微颤了一下。 ...... …… „Simply is a farce, not?” Stands in Greathammer arrives by Jones, hands over a piece of sweet potato to do. “简直是场闹剧,不是吗？”站在门外的棒槌走到琼斯旁边,递过去一片番薯干。 Jones raised the mask to look at Greathammer one: „I do not eat this.” 琼斯掀起面罩看了棒槌一眼:“我不吃这个。” „That was really is a pity.” Greathammer put the mouth to chew the sweet potato dry/does, spoke thoughtlessly saying: „Places on the sword their necks, I make a bet these so-called ‚Sir bishop’ will accept our any requests. Even if wants them to announce that believes holy spirit to be illegal, they will still agree.” “那真是太可惜了。”棒槌把番薯干放到嘴里嘴嚼了起来,随口说道:“把剑放在他们的脖子上,我打赌这些所谓的‘主教大人’会答应我们的任何要求。就算要他们宣布信仰圣灵是非法的,他们也会同意。” „This proved from the other aspect they actually no one suits is the Pope.” Jones looks at the distant place fire to be suppressed, is braving the thick smoke, seems like the house that can collapse momentarily saying: „The firm will does not have continually, including does not have the courage that oneself think saying that what Pope is this? Might as well you.” “这从另一面证明了他们其实没有任何人适合当教宗。”琼斯望着远处火已经被扑灭,正在冒着浓烟,看上去随时都会坍塌的房子说道:“连坚定的意志都没有,连自己所想的都没勇气说出来,这是什么教宗？还不如你呢。” „Might as well I?” Greathammer gawked, smiled: „Or do I also go to follow to choose one?” “还不如我？”棒槌愣了一下,笑了:“要不我也进去跟着选一个？” Saying, him was walking tall, ships out a bishop appearance, said to the fighting callus of standing: „Wish holy spirit to bless you.” 说着,他挺直了腰杆,装出一副主教的样子,对站在旁边的斗鸡眼说道:“愿圣灵祝福您。” All of a sudden, the dwarves smiled one group. 一下子,矮人们笑成了一团。 Jones and Dora look unemotionally. 琼斯和朵拉面无表情地看着。 Fluttered Linda in distant place not to see, could not bear hold own forehead. 飘荡在远处的贝琳达都没眼看下去了,忍不住扶着自己的额头。 „Really interesting, not?” Zelda presents side her suddenly, a face enjoys said: „Our demons enable the Sir always to us to bring the pleasant surprise. If these red clothes bishop dare to insist that own viewpoint, how Gray does not have the means to take them. But, they no one dare to insist. This made your holy spirit very awkward.” “真有趣,不是吗？”泽达忽然出现她身旁,一脸享受地说道:“我们这位魔使大人总能给我们带来意外的惊喜。如果这些红衣主教们敢坚持自己的观点,想必格雷也没办法拿他们怎么样吧。可偏偏,他们没有人敢坚持。这就让你们的圣灵很为难了呀。” Linda the face have not visited him. 贝琳达别过脸去不看他。 Quick, three guiding principles wrote, the enclosed Gray correspondence was delivered, hands over in Carl hand. Is given the clergy by Carl, is the carrier pigeon of Holy Synod training escorts to Holy Synod of 23 human states using the heaven, as well as gives to five army regimental commanders stationed in sacred place. 很快,三份纲领都写好了,附上格雷的信函被送了出来,交到卡尔手中。由卡尔交给神职人员,运用天堂为教廷培养的信鸽送往二十三个人类国度的教廷,以及送给驻扎圣地的五位军团长。 Under dark cloud that the lightning tumbles, 28 bring a clear carrier pigeon to be the same like the meteor, toward flies in all directions, that scene was magnificent. 闪电翻滚的乌云下,二十八只带着点点晶莹的信鸽如同流星一般,朝着四面八方飞去,那景象可谓是壮观了。 Four guardian angels of four paladin correspondences, including Julian, stay outside the palace honestly. 四位圣骑士对应的四位守护天使,包括朱利安在内,都老老实实地呆在殿外。 ...... …… „Now, making us calmly wait for their echoes.” Gray stands in the main hall as before center, said in a soft voice: Fairness that „I will not intervene the election, will not permit the fairness that anybody intervenes the election. However, I think that who was elected also has no difference. After all, three guiding principles, are almost exactly the same. Naturally, whoever was elected, I will guarantee the execution. If some people violate the guiding principle, will be replaced him by the number of votes's second person. Then number of votes third. I think, this should also no one have the opinion? Now, fills in your choice, starts to vote.” “现在,让我们静静地等待他们的回音。”格雷依旧站在大殿的正中,轻声说道:“我不会干预选举的公正性,也不会允许任何人干预选举的公正性。不过,我想谁当选也没有什么区别了。毕竟,三份纲领,几乎一模一样。当然,无论谁当选,我都会确保执行。如果有人违反纲领,将由票数第二的人替代他。然后票数第三。我想,这应该也没有任何人有意见吧？现在,填好你的选择,开始投票。” A box was put center. Pens, were delivered to front of red clothes bishop. They start to fill , is lining up to put in the ballot box. 一个箱子被放到了正中。一支支的笔,被送到了红衣主教们面前。他们开始填写,然后排着队放到投票箱里。 The entire process is quiet. 整个过程悄无声息的。 Red clothes bishop of three running, collapse generally by sitting on oneself chair, streaming with sweat. Because greedy also good, because wants an show/unfolds aspiration is also good, because the ambition is also good, previous quarter they also incomparably want the position of Pope, but now, they almost do not have one not to regret to run. The election to them, was a nightmare. 三位参选的红衣主教,都虚脱一般地靠坐在自己的椅子上,汗如雨下。无论是因为贪婪也好,因为想要一展抱负也好,因为野心也好,前一刻他们还无比地想要教宗的位置,但现在,他们几乎没有一个不后悔参选的。当选对他们来说,更是一场噩梦。 So long as because was elected, is equal to own neck extends to the Gray butcher knife under. 因为只要当选,就等同于将自己的脖子伸到格雷的屠刀下。 The situation had not been estimating toward them the direction that develops. 形势正在朝着他们没有预计到的方向发展。 Gray has not run, but he took away the position of pacificator at one fell swoop, as his disciple, is completely reasonable. Naturally, most important eventually is, the back of truth, has the sufficient military force to support. 格雷没有参选,但他一举拿走了仲裁者的位置,以他圣徒的身份来说,完全合理。当然,最重要的终究是,真理的背后,有足够的武力在支撑。 „Gray, I really thought that you cannot complete...... Catherine still to admonish like this” with hardship. “格雷,我真的觉得你这样做不好……”凯瑟琳还在苦苦地规劝。 „Which aspect do you refer to not being good?” Gray responded finally: „I gave their opportunity to elaborate my viewpoint fully, guaranteed fair and rightness of entire election. Has not forced anybody to elect anyone with the military force.” “你是指哪方面不好呢？”格雷终于回应了:“我给足了他们机会阐述自己的观点,也确保了整个选举的公平与公正。从来没有用武力逼迫任何人应该选谁。” „But you used force, everyone saw.” “但是你动用了武力,每一个人都看到了。” „Military force, is not used to use?” “武力,难道不是用来动用的吗？” „But your military force with them in the same rank, you cannot rely on the Demon Lord strength completely.” “可你的武力跟他们完全不在同一个级别,你能够借助魔主的力量。” Gray was silent, for a long time, he said in a soft voice: „This is I and your differences, not? Until now, we to the sacred understanding, have the difference. The standpoint is not completely same. You can look that a carriage crashes into the abyss, but anything does not do, I actually cannot. I will certainly intend to prevent. Has the strength, should use, rather than stands by. This is a responsibility. If they opposed that my courage does not have, how can also be the Pope? Starting today, I conscientiously will fulfill, as the responsibility of educational administration surveillant.” 格雷沉默了,许久,他轻声说道:“这就是我跟你们的区别,不是吗？一直以来,我们对神圣的理解,都有区别。立场也不完全相同。你们能够看着一辆马车坠入深渊而什么都不做,我却不能。我一定会出手阻止。拥有力量,就应该使用,而不是袖手旁观。这是一种责任。如果他们连反对我的勇气都没有,又如何能当好教宗呢？从今天开始,我会切实地履行,作为教务监督者的职责。”
