Regardless of world, person who so long as a matterknowswere many, how longthatdefinitelycould not hide the truth from.
无论在哪个世界,只要一件事情知道的人多了,那肯定就瞒不了多久。Andlet aloneDyettalsocarried onhas blocked the entirecity, actions of cavalrymassivegoing out. In a while, is almost the honored and popularnoblearistocratic family, knewLakesimissingnews.
更何况且纳戴特还进行了封锁全城,骑兵大量外出的举动。没过多久,几乎是有头有脸的贵族世家,都知道了拉克丝失踪的消息。BecauseDyetthas carried on the curfew, othernobleare certainly impossibleto send out the massivemanpowerto go out, butexcelsin the shadowmovesto lose, actuallyappearsveryactive. Moreoverthreehorse-drawn vehiclessail to the City Lordmansioninnightslowly.
因为纳戴特进行了宵禁,其它贵族当然不可能派出大量的人手外出,但一些擅长在阴影中行动失,却显得非常活跃。而且有三辆马车在深夜缓缓驶向城主府。Dyett in the military compoundheard the news, frownsto think the meeting, returns to the City Lordmansion, receivedthesethreepeople.
纳戴特在军营中听到了消息后,皱着眉头想了会,回到城主府,接待了这三人。
The old people of threewearChinese dresses, was almost oldis about unable to walk, the old peoplemark of whole faceinthatwrinklelikelywason the facial skin of flimsy.
三个穿着华服的老人,其中一个老得几乎快走不动路了,满脸的老人班纹在那张皱得像是薄纸的脸皮上。„Does City Lord, needusto help?” An old personsmileswas saying: „Otherdid not say,my family'ssearchteamstrengthis good. ButIdo not wantto destroyyourcurfeworder.”
“城主,需要我们帮忙吗?”一个老人微笑着说道:“别的不说,我家的搜查队实力还行。但我不想破坏你的宵禁命令。”Dyettshakes the head, thissayingsoundsis the good intention, butDyetttoounderstoodtheseold codgers, so long ashedaresto open the mouthto comply, thenthisold fogyabsolutelychicken feather, when the signal arrow, will search the matter in aspecthenot to be attentiveat the appointed time, butusedthisopportunitysuppressiondissident, will plantframesdirtywill not be absolutely few. Finally, thesematterswill implicate the City Lordmansion the prestige, as well asundermines the interpersonalpublic relationsrelationstoCity Lordmansion.
纳戴特摇头,这话听起来是好心,但纳戴特太了解这些老不死了,只要他敢开口答应,那么这老家伙绝对会把鸡毛当令箭,到时搜查方面的事情他根本不会用心,但利用这机会打压异己,栽脏陷害绝对不会少。最终,这些事情会连累到城主府的声誉,以及破坏到城主府的人际社交关系。
The old person of whole faceage-spotscarries the waist, appearance that soondied, hiseyelidcollapsesprosperouslylikelyistwohangis hanging the rind: „City Lord, MissLakesiis missing such bigmatter, cannotconcealat will, shouldmobilize the strength of entirecityto search. The opposite partydaressuchto do, is willingto make to order the completely safepreparation, ifyour excellencyyouextremelyinimpulsive, possibly the snare of opposite party.”
满脸老人斑的老人背着腰,一副快要断气的模样,他眼皮塌隆地像是两块垂吊着的桔子皮:“城主,拉克丝小姐失踪这么大的事情,不能随意隐瞒,应该动员全城的力量来搜查。对方敢这么做,肯定做了万全的准备,如果阁下你太过于冲动,可能会中了对方的圈套。”Anotherold persondoes right after something else saying: „Iagreed that Anderson'sview, at this time, shouldbewereplies the cityunites as one, City Lord, Ihope that youcanallowusto move.”
另一个老人接茬说道:“我同意安德森的说法,这时候,该是我们回音城团结一致的时候,城主,我希望你能准许我们行动。”„Thankedthreeto be oldyour excellency the good intention.”Dyettstillbeckoned with the handto reject: „Ihaveseveral thousandcavalries, several thousandinfantries, these manypeople, ifcould not find, that manyyourseveral hundredpeople, could not find....... Will yourmanpower, morebe stronger than me?”
“谢谢三位老阁下的好意了。”纳戴特依然摆手拒绝了:“我有数千骑兵,还有数千的步兵,这么多的人如果都找不到,那么多出你们几百人,也是找不到的。难道……你们的人手,会比我更多更强?”
After this, half a wordwords, threeold personblind tuyeresdo not speak.
这后半句话一出,三个老人都闭口不说话了。„Imustgo tothat side the military compoundto directnow, did not continueto entertainthree.”
“我现在得去军营那边指挥了,就不继续招待三位了。”
After speaking, Dyettleavesin advance.
说完话后,纳戴特先行离开。Threeold peoplelag behind, theywalk the City Lordmansionslowly, inentrancetherestation a meeting, looked atonemutually, in the facial expressionhas been being a pitywithreluctantly.
三位老人落在后面,他们缓缓走城主府,在门口那里站了一会,互相看了一眼,神情中略带着些可惜和无奈。Theyis just about the carriageto leave, military officerJuddarrives at the City Lordmansionentrance, actuallyCity Lord of defendantjustleft, heturns around to walk, that the old person who calledAnderson, stopped by calling outhimsuddenly.
他们正要上马车离开的时候,军官贾德来到城主府门口,却被告之城主刚离开,他转身想走,那个叫安德森的老人,却突然叫住了他。„Judd, my something wantsto chatwithyou.”
“贾德阁下,我有些事情想和你谈谈。”„Pleasesay.”Juddhas turned around.
“请说。”贾德转过身。„Hereis not convenient.”
“这里不方便。”Juddfacial expressionpunishes, afterwardsmiles, boarded the carriagewithAnderson.
贾德神情一罚,随后微笑起来,跟着安德森上了马车。In the dimcarriage, Anderson'svoiceactuallymoves fastlow and deep: „How longJudd have youtreatedin the City Lordmansion?”
昏暗的马车中,安德森的声音低沉却又飘忽:“贾德阁下你在城主府中待了多久了?”„Hadtenyears.”
“有十年了吧。”„Tenyears, ourPhilipFamilieshave also supportedyourtenyears. The laborcooperate have been very happy.”Andersonopens the eyeslowly, in the darkness, hiseye pupilis the wolfis reflecting the rayunexpectedlylikelygenerally: „Now, wewant to further supportyou.”
“十年啊,我们菲利普家也支持了你十年。工们合作一直很愉快。”安德森缓缓睁开眼睛,黑暗中,他的眼瞳居然像是狼一般反射着光芒:“现在,我们想更进一步支持你。”Juddplansaid with a smile: „Myverygratefulthese ten years are yoursupport, then, whatmeaningfurther?”
贾德策笑道:“我很感激这十年来你们的支持,那么,更进一步是什么意思?”„For example, the nextCity Lordnamewas calledJudd, how did youthink?”
“比如说,下一任城主的名字叫贾德,你觉得如何?”OnJuddface the expressionis invariable, butchest the weaponrywas obviously quick. Hesaidslowly: „DyettCity Lordis sturdy, whenhedied, Iwas also old.”
贾德脸上表情不变,但胸膛的起仗明显快了些。他缓缓说道:“纳戴特城主身强力壮,等他死了,我也老了。”„Dyettdoes not have the son, only thendaughter.” A Andersonfacesadtonesaid: „HefavorsLakesivery much, obviouslyis a thatfairperson, becauseactuallyfavors the daughter, evenrelaxes the bottom line that oneselfhave cultivated the behavior. It can be said that Lakesiishisheart, hislife.”
“纳戴特没有儿子,只有女儿。”安德森一脸悲伤的语气说道:“他很宠拉克丝,明明是那么公正的一个人,却因为宠女儿,甚至放宽了自己做人的底线。可以这么说,拉克丝就是他的心脏,他的生命。”„Whatrelations that thisandoldhasyour excellencyyousaid?”
“这和老阁下你说的有什么关系?”„IfLakesidid die? YoualsoknowLakesithisperson, savage, virulent, ifshedied, to the entireechocity, is the good deeds, butregardingDyett, actually......”
“万一拉克丝死了呢?你也知道拉克丝这人,凶残,恶毒,如果她死了,对整个回音城来说,都是好事,但对于纳戴特来说,却……”JuddunderstoodAnderson'smeaning. Hedeeplyinspired: „Thisis in violation ofmyKnightpledge.”
贾德明白了安德森的意思。他深深地吸了口气:“这有背我的骑士誓言。”„An opportunitysuchtime...... Ifyouwant, Iwill send forsecretlyassistingyou, Lakesiwill dieinconfrontation of Dyettandgangster. Ifyoudo not want...... We have othersupportcandidates, for exampleLancet.”
“机会就这么一次……如果你愿意,我会派人暗中协助你,拉克丝会死在纳戴特与匪徒的对峙中。如果你不愿意……我们还有其它的支持人选,比如说阿斯什。”Andersonhas closed the eye, thatpairas ifsuch as the pupilgeneralresponsesourcevanishesin the dimcarriage.
安德森闭上了眼睛,那双仿佛如瞳一般的反应源消失在昏暗的马车中。Juddcalmlyhas made the meeting, thenheopens the mouth, the soundis somewhat hoarse: „Good, Iunderstood. Iacceptyoursupport.”
贾德静静地做了会,然后他张开嘴巴,声音有些沙哑:“好,我明白了。我接受你们的支持。”„Is very good.”Juddstands, shakes handto deliver the carriageJudd, finallyhesaidnearlatter'seargently: „After youbecomeCity Lord, wedo not need the military power, does not need the domain in city, so long asyoudelimitedNortheastthattree farmhave been goodtome.”
“很好。”贾德站起来,拉着手将贾德送下马车,最后他在后者的耳边轻轻说道:“等你成为城主后,我们不需要兵权,也不需要城中的地盘,你只要把东北方向那块林场划过给我就行了。”Juddis somewhat puzzled, tree farm...... Thiscould not makeanygood money. Sosmallbenefitrepayment, payswithAndersonin the ten years, compared with the price of soonpaying, is notanything.
贾德有些不解,林场……这赚不了什么大钱。如此小的利益回报,和安德森这十年来付出的,和即将付出的代价相比,根本算不上什么。As ifwaslooksto understandJudd'sdoubts, Andehringsaid: „Tree farmis the renewable resource, cancontinueseveral thousandto yearly produce the gold coin the goodplace, ourPhilipFamiliesdo not place great emphasis on the presentbenefit, weonlyregard as importantto continue the long-timebenefit.”
似乎是看明白了贾德的疑惑,安德林说道:“林场是可再生资源,是可以持续数千年产出金币的好地方,我们菲利普家不看重眼前的利益,我们只看重持续长久的利益。”Andersonspoke, signals by noddingslightly, thenboards the carriageto leave, tofullyJuddface, as if the latterpresentisCity Lordgenerally.
安德森说完话,微微点头示意,然后才登上马车离开,给足了贾德面子,仿佛后者现在就已经是城主了一般。Looks that threehorse-drawn vehiclesdrive away, Juddstands in same placesome little time, returning to normalmood, thencalmlywent to the military compound, toDyettreport/givereport.
看着三辆马车驶离,贾德站在原地好一会,平复心情,接着若无其事的去了军营,向纳戴特禀报。„Does the entirecitysearch fornot to see the person?”Dyettlistens toJuddreport/givereport, in the heartanxiousandmany a point: „Suburbs?”
“全城搜完都没有见人?”纳戴特听完贾德的禀报,心中的焦虑又多了一分:“城郊呢?”„Wewidened the searchrange, but the suburbswere too big, a short timecannot obtain the result.”
“我们已经扩大搜查范围,但城郊太大了,一时半会得不出结果。”
The bigcity of flangeSri Lanka, areasomeevencanside by side a ministate. The area of echocity, inflangeSri Lanka, being able to stand in linenumber.
法兰斯国的大城市,面积有的甚至可以比肩一个微型国家。回音城的占地面积,在法兰斯国中,也是排得上号的。In this case, can only wait, Dyettmoodwas anxious, is anxiouson the mouthto have the burn blister, buthe was still a facecalmappearance, at leaston the surface, could not look that hehad the mood of anxiousandworrying.
这种情况下,只能等,纳戴特心情焦虑,急得嘴上都起了燎泡,但他依然是一脸沉稳的模样,至少从表面上,看不出来他有紧张和着急的情绪。Buttoweatherslightlybrighttime, hecould not waitto go tothatBiyamanorfirst.
但到天色微亮的时候,他等不及先去了那比亚庄园。In the creed that the stewardsleave behindsaid, the kidnapper there, will negotiatewithDyett.
管家留下的信条上说,绑匪会在那里,和纳戴特谈判。Dyetthas treated there waited for, the kidnapper is also punctual, weatherslightlybrighttime, theyappeared, fourwhiterobes, carries a female.
纳戴特一直待在那里等待,绑匪也很守时,天色微亮的时候,他们出现了,四个白袍,其中一名扛着个女子。Seesthem, Dyettis somewhat surprised: „Does heresypresscutting?”
看到他们,纳戴特有些惊讶:“异端促裁者?”
