The negotiations are smoother than the imagination, although King's Lady Shayette has suspected Su Xiao has what plot, but the throne is placed in that this type of heaven-sent opportunity she will certainly not miss. 谈判比想象中顺利很多,虽然王女・沙耶托一直怀疑苏晓有什么阴谋,但王位摆在那,这种天赐良机她当然不会错过。 When Shayette goes out of the empire parliament main hall, she looks back to look up at this grand construction, since Black King dies, here is the empire highest organ of state power, all significant orders, transmit from here. 当沙耶托走出帝国议会大殿时,她不禁回首仰视这栋宏伟的建筑,自从黑之王死后,这里就是帝国的最高权力机关,所有重大命令,都是从这里传达出。 If later all smooth, the empire parliament will not exist, is not only the empire parliament, Senate, Shayette prepares gradually the fee/spent to remove. 如果之后一切顺利,帝国议会将不复存在,不仅是帝国议会,就连元老院,沙耶托都准备逐渐费除掉。 Even, she prepares to abolish the royal power hereditary system, pulls out from the dukes and ministers hand to the power, changes to the election system the hereditary system. 甚至于,她准备废除王权世袭制,从公爵、大臣们手中抽离权力,将世袭制改为选举制。 About the hereditary system, Shayette is not only a beneficiary, is the victim, empire has more than ten years not to present the new king fully , because hereditary system. 关于世袭制,沙耶托既是受益者,也是受害者,帝国足有十几年没出现新王,就是因为世袭制。 The election system is different, on a king drops down, the people and officials will elect the next king immediately, Shayette even prepare to confer ‚congressman’ this kind of government position, making the election system fairer. 选举制则不同,上一任王倒下,民众、官员们马上会选举出下一位王,沙耶托甚至准备册封出‘议员’这类官职,让选举制更公平。 It can be said that King's Lady Shayette is filled with lofty aspirations and high ideals, therefore she loathed about Su Xiao, Silver Feather Duke, Brummer and the others, in the heart once appeared: ‚Gave me to be OK, I will make better, was more perfect this kind of idea that empire changed’. 可以说,王女・沙耶托满心雄心壮志,因此她对苏晓、银羽公爵、布卢默等人厌恶至极,心中一度出现:‘交给我就可以了,我会让帝国变的更好,更完善’这类想法。 When this reason, lets Shayette facing Su Xiao and the others is slightly hot tempered. 也正是这个原因,让沙耶托面对苏晓等人时略显暴躁。 However, when Black King at first also thinks oneself can govern to be very good empire, why does not know, he chose the hereditary system, gave up more effective election system, moreover sat for more than 300 years in the throne. 然而,黑之王最初时也认为自己能将帝国治理到很好,可不知为何,他选择了世袭制,放弃了更有效的选举制,而且在王位上坐了三百多年。 First did not say is filled with the determination, has assembled the subordinate preparation to become Shayette of new king, Su Xiao is also preparing. 先不说满心壮志,已经去调集部下准备成为新王的沙耶托,苏晓这边也同样在准备。 „Doesn't have the issue?” “已经没问题了？” Is strolling on the street with Su Xiao, in the hand takes the old God stick opens the mouth of this metal books. 正和苏晓在街道上闲逛,手中拿着本金属书籍的老神棍开口。 „Basically does not have the issue, that side Shayette to agree that side Vufue and Finance Minister cannot suppress quickly, is good does not dare to jump in a short time because of them.” “基本没问题,沙耶托那边已经同意,伍弗、财政大臣那边快压不住,好在他们短时间内不敢跳出来。” Su Xiao squats before a stall, takes the clay sculpture observation of palm of the hand size, the work of this thing is good . Moreover the interior has the micro eternal strength, is somewhat similar to the charm amulet, this gave him the inspiration, whether to rely on Alchemy Technique to make the disposable defense equipment or the item. 苏晓蹲在一处地摊前,拿着个巴掌大小的泥塑观察,这东西的做工不错,而且内部有微量的永恒之力,有些类似于护身符,这给了他灵感,就是能否凭借炼金术制造一次性防御装备或道具。 „Do they oppose you blatantly? Joined in that side Shayette?” “他们公然反对你？投身到沙耶托那边了？” The old God stick expression has no difference, looked that the appearance has thought will have this matter. 老神棍的表情没什么异样,看模样是早就想到会有这种事。 „Short time not, but this is also sooner or later matter.” “短时间不会,不过这也是早晚的事。” When Su Xiao in supporting Shayette becomes the new king, has thought that response of Vufue and Finance Minister, this is actually very normal. 苏晓在支持沙耶托成为新王时,早就想到伍弗与财政大臣的反应,这其实很正常。 Vufue and Finance Minister are willing to support Su Xiao, nothing but wants to play up to powerful people, once Su Xiao becomes the new king, they also become a founding senior statesman kind of great person. 伍弗与财政大臣愿意支持苏晓,无非是想攀龙附凤,一旦苏晓成为新王,他们也就成为开国元老一类的大人物。 But Su Xiao gives up to become the new king, this lets Vufue and Finance Minister unavoidably has the idea, to put it baldly some, they now are the Su Xiao's falcons and dogs, once was hostile with Shayette. 可苏晓放弃成为新王,这难免让伍弗与财政大臣有想法,说得不好听些,他们现在就是苏晓的鹰犬,都曾与沙耶托敌对。 Once Shayette becomes the new king, that is equal to Su Xiao losing power, once at the appointed time Shayette bides one's time for punishment, enough let Vufue and Finance Minister cannot eat to capture. 沙耶托一旦成为新王,那就等于苏晓失势,届时一旦沙耶托秋后算账,足够让伍弗与财政大臣吃不了兜着走。 This is the will of the people, in the struggle of power, no one will be loyal in anyone forever , Vufue once was the Brummer subordinate, Finance Minister once pledged to fight to the death loyally in Little Duke. 这就是人心,在权力的斗争中,没有谁会永远忠诚于谁,要知道,伍弗曾是布卢默的部下,财政大臣曾誓死忠诚于小公爵。 „Explained to become the price of new king with them, perhaps they......” “和他们说明成为新王的代价,他们或许……” The old God stick words have not said, turns away from his Su Xiao to beckon with the hand. 老神棍话还没说完,背对着他的苏晓摆了摆手。 „Will of the people thing, compared with complex that you imagine, you said right, agrees rarely.” “人心这东西,比你想象的更复杂,你说对吗,肯・拉罕。” „Perhaps......” “或许吧……” The old God stick vision is somewhat complex, his mouth opens and closes, as to say anything with Su Xiao, but passed the moment, he chooses silent. 老神棍的目光有些复杂,他的嘴巴开合,似乎想与苏晓说什么,但过了片刻,他选择沉默。 „Kukulin White Night, I, will consistently stand you.” “库库林・白夜,我,始终会站在你这边。” Old God stick handles gently only in the chest front, when reveals meets at first smile with Su Xiao. 老神棍单手轻点在胸前,露出最初与苏晓见面时的笑容。 „.” “哦。” Su Xiao throws several black coins in the stall, sets out to walk toward the street end, from beginning to end, he has not gone to look at old God stick. 苏晓抛在地摊上几枚黑色硬币,起身向街道尽头走去,从始至终,他都没去看老神棍。 „Sorry.” “抱歉。” Old God stick looks that the Su Xiao's back opens the mouth in a low voice , to continue to say by the sound that Su Xiao cannot hear: „If you must go to there, I with you, till I die, Kukulin.” 老神棍看着苏晓的背影低声开口,以苏晓听不到的声音继续说道:“如果你要去那里,我会同你一路,直到我死为止,库库林。” ...... …… Next day 7 : 00 pm, Luo orchid

一名身材肥胖,油光满面的官员快步上前,他是沙耶托手下的四号人物,名叫埃文,某次双方博弈中,他差点就被伍弗抓到城外的军营中,到了那里,就算埃文是帝国的重要官员,也活不过两小时,是沙耶托不惜亲自出面,到右御庄园与苏晓相见,以近乎割肉的方式保住他。 „Are you Irwin?” “你是埃文？” When Little Duke speech in the mouth does not know that is chewing anything, today Finance Minister has not been at side him. 小公爵说话时口中不知嘴嚼着什么,今天财政大臣并未在他身边。 Finance Minister is the person of other side, although Finance Minister is still loyal to Little Duke, but this is the standpoint issue. 财政大臣已经是另一方的人,虽然财政大臣依然忠于小公爵,可这是立场问题。 „Is your highness, you invited.” “是的殿下,您请。” Irwin whole face compensates to smile, personally Little Duke introduction manor. 埃文满脸赔笑,亲自将小公爵引入庄园。 At this time in the garden in manor, has built the temporary conference site, naturally, by the Little Duke status, he was directed the banquet hall in castle

could not see, but came is an attitude. 宾客一个接一个的到场,大部分只能在庭院内参与晚宴,甚至于,他们连庄园的主人沙耶托都见不到,但来了就是种态度。 In the castle banquet hall, most empire officials in the confidence that by the feast table whispers, the center dance floor are the young people, rather than their these old men. 城堡的宴会厅内,大多数帝国官员都在宴桌旁交头接耳的私语,中心处的舞池属于年轻人,而不是他们这些老头子。 As for castle master Shayette, she is wearing the formal dress, many

some are unwilling.” “这是……有些不甘心吗。” Shayette smiles, she does not suspect that now Su Xiao cedes the royal power, had today's evening banquet, she becomes the new king is inevitable. 沙耶托笑了笑,她现在已经不怀疑苏晓让出王权,有了今天的晚宴,她成为新王已是必然。 ...... …… Right-Side Governor manor, in a dim study room. 右御庄园,一间昏暗的书房内。 After antique desk, Su Xiao is taking the note of this half decency to glance through, Boubo lies on the desk, A' Mu sits the corner in not far away, is quite dim because of the room , can only see its approximate outline. 古香古色的书桌后,苏晓正拿着本半风化的笔记翻阅,布布汪则是趴在书桌上,阿姆坐在不远处的墙角,因房间内比较昏暗,只能看到它的大致轮廓。 The moonlight by the window, old God stick stands before the window, the evening banquet invitation of Shayette was disregarded by him directly. 月色透过窗口,老神棍站在窗前,沙耶托的晚宴邀请直接被他无视。 Thump, thump and thump...... 咚、咚、咚…… The door was sounded, Vufue pushes the door to enter in the study room, the body has heavy liquor air/Qi. 房门被敲响,伍弗推门走进书房内,身上有很重的酒气。 „The Shayette evening banquet, you should arrive to be right.” “沙耶托的晚宴,你应该到场才对。” Su Xiao has not gone to look at Vufue, the attention strongly in the broken note in hand. 苏晓没去看伍弗,注意力正集中在手中的残破笔记上。 „My Vufue is a careless person, is not familiar with attend what egg evening banquet, when the father qiong pension even cannot put out, the woman looked that does not look at father one eyes.” “我伍弗是个粗人,不习惯参加什么卵子晚宴,老子穷的连抚恤金都拿不出时,那女人看都不看老子一眼。” Wears whole body armor, when somewhat panting in indignation Vufue lang sits in the corner, in the hand also takes the bottle strong

苏晓也拿起块鹿肉,放在口中细细品尝,虽然肉质纤维粗糙,但却有种异香,让人忍不住再拿起一块放在口中嘴嚼。 „Liquor was tasty, drinks dying also quick.” “酒好喝,喝多了死的也快。” Vufue grins to smile, has not said other, obviously, he and Finance Minister choose to stand Su Xiao. 伍弗咧嘴笑了笑,没说其他,显然,他和财政大臣都选择站在苏晓这边。 „Zoss this small brat wing was hard, it is said Shayette introduced the daughter of discussing politics officer to him, over the boy, is boils now.” “佐斯这小兔崽子翅膀硬了,据说沙耶托把议政官的女儿介绍给他,那小子,现在也算是熬出头。” Vufue filled several liquor to the mouth, Anomaly that pair of pupil changes is savage. 伍弗向口中灌了几口酒,那双眸子变的异常凶残。 „Young people, were seduced easily, but Shayette promised that gives me Left-Side Governor Position, really gives up.” “年轻人,容易被诱惑,不过沙耶托许诺给我左御职位,真是舍得。” Finance Minister is smiling bitterly shaking the head. 财政大臣苦笑着摇了摇头。 „Does the woman promise your Left-Side Governor? Skillful, me is the empire army leads Chief Commander, is imposing, commands empire all Frontier Fortress Military.” “那女人许诺你左御？巧了,我这边是帝国军领统帅,多威风,统领帝国所有边塞军。” A Vufue face is inexpensive the expression looks to Finance Minister, but this old gentleman together deer Gupao to Vufue. 伍弗一脸贱兮兮的表情看向财政大臣,而这位老绅士将一块鹿骨抛向伍弗。 Shayette does this, is actually not despicable, or does not win the military authority and finance from Su Xiao this, in her heart anxious. 沙耶托这样做,其实算不上卑鄙,或者说,不从苏晓这夺走军权与财政,她心中不安。 What a pity, Finance Minister has not paid attention to her, Vufue pretends ignorance, after receiving the Shayette advantage, directly delivers to the Right-Side Governor manor. 可惜,财政大臣没理会她,伍弗则是装聋作哑,收了沙耶托的好处后,直接送到右御庄园。
