After at nightfall, when Count Elk your family place is brilliantly illuminated, has Petrov of invitation attendants welcomed into the hall, is celebration that Earl Third Young Lady Aurelian conducted lives the banquet happen to just to start. 入夜后,麋鹿伯爵府上灯火通明,持有邀请函的培罗被侍从迎入大厅时,为伯爵家三小姐奥瑞利安举办的庆生宴席正好刚刚开始。 Can attend the banquet, has the family background and fame noble in Longsong Stronghold, Sir Earl also very regards as important to this time celebrate Shengyan, overspreads the wool rug and attendants that from the hall unifies the custom-made black bottom gold edged clothes to look. After all Aurelian just right reach 16 years old, reached the age of being married. 能参加宴席的,都是在长歌要塞颇有家世和名望的贵族,伯爵大人对此次庆生宴也十分看重,从大厅中铺满的羊毛地毯和侍从统一定制的黑底金边衣服就能看出来。毕竟奥瑞利安正好满16岁,已经到了谈婚论嫁的年龄。 The stringed instruments resound, attendants are carrying the wine and wine cup goes through in the crowds, on several round tables that in the hall places is putting the steaming hot prepared food, but the protagonist Aurelian appearance must look like only the canary, was being encircled by one group of sisters in the hall corner, seems chats very cheerfully. 弦乐响起,侍从们端着葡萄酒和酒杯穿行于人群之间,大厅中摆放的几张圆桌上盛放着热气腾腾的熟食,而主角奥瑞利安打扮得像只金丝雀,正被一群姐妹围在大厅一角,看上去聊得十分欢快。 This is Kingdom Capital at present the most popular banquet way. Before the Western Region banquet was not this appearance, Petrov thinks, everybody usually sat in a circle near a long linearity wooden table, waited for the chef to serve food. Carries is large bowl pork and whole chicken, smears the butter the bread, two-sided fries the sallow egg, lives the vegetable leaf with the big basin. 这是王都时下最为流行的宴席方式。之前西境宴席可不是这个样子,培罗想,大家通常围坐在一张长条形木桌边,等着厨师上菜。端上来的都是大碗猪肉和整鸡,抹上黄油的面包,双面煎得焦黄的鸡蛋,和大盆生菜叶。 However regarding similarly in Kingdom Capital treats several years later Petrov, this celebrate Shengyan only imitated to take the form of merely. 不过对于同样在王都待过几年的培罗来说,这场庆生宴仅仅只模仿了个形似而已。 For example wine cup in attendants hand, is the colored glaze cup that the color varies, but opaque pure drinking glass. After pouring into the wine, is unable to serve as contrast liquor own fragrant and mellow luster. On the round table should cover the plain white cloth, but does not come out the greasy tabletop dew. As for these prepared food, maintained Western Region's traditional style-- was being still big and thick. Petrov shakes the head, the good and evil also first makes the chef sliver the flake end to come up again. 例如侍从手中的酒杯,都是颜色各异的琉璃杯,而非透明洁净的玻璃杯。倒入葡萄酒后,根本无法衬托出酒自身的醇香色泽。圆桌上应该覆盖白布,而不是将油腻腻的桌面露出来。至于那些熟食,仍保持着西境的传统风格——又大又粗。培罗摇摇头,好歹也得先让厨师切成小片再端上来啊。 According to the convention, before he feasts, had filled the belly in home, at this time will not fence to cut these bulks the cooked meat. The invitees who attended the banquet are representing the face of respective family, shines in the mouthful gloss that this place eats, really harms the image. Petrov does not think that were treated as the laughingstocks of various young lady mouths. 按照惯例,他来赴宴前已经在家中填饱了肚子,此时更不会操刀去切这些大块的熟肉。出席宴会的受邀者都代表着各自家族的脸面,在此地吃的满嘴油光发亮,实在有损形象。培罗可不想自己被当作各家小姐嘴里的笑料。 „For a long time does not see the waiter,” suddenly some people from have after death fluttered his neck, „heard that you were appointed by Sir feudal lord are envoy? How the Border Town's ore harvests, you have dug out much from inside.” “好久不见啊伙计,”忽然有人从身后勾住了他的脖子,“听说你又被领主大人任命为使者了？边陲镇的矿石收获如何,你从里面抠了不少吧。” This familiar sound, one listens to know is Ryan Dmitry, the Elk Clan second son, wholeheartedly wants to become Knight, cannot attend to the fool who including the territory. Naturally, is own friend, „fortunately,” Petrov too does not want to discuss that in the Border Town's bitter experience, „your this time runs Cold Wind Ridge to apply, said, has treated in the tavern in Hermes trembles?” 这熟悉的声音,一听就知道是雷恩.梅德,麋鹿家族的次子,一心想成为名骑士,连领地都顾不上的傻瓜。当然,也是自己的朋友,“还好,”培罗不太想谈在边陲镇的遭遇,“你这次跑去寒风岭有派上用场吗,还是说,一直待在赫尔梅斯里的酒馆里瑟瑟发抖？” „Damn,” Ryan has pushed Petrov, „has not listened to your mouth to speak the word of praise. This time I am new Holy City not to go, the border guard starts previous day, I just infected the cold, has lain down on the bed fully for one week.” “该死的,”雷恩推了培罗一把,“从没听你嘴里说过好话。这次我连新圣城都没去,边境卫队启程的前一天,我刚好感染了风寒,整整在床上躺了一周。” „Good, compared with previous time progressed a point, at least gave the guard to save many troubles.” “不错,比上次又进步了一点,至少给卫队省了不少麻烦。” „This time you have made a mistake,” Ryan said with a smile suddenly mystically, „, if I have not lain down in Cold Wind Ridge for one week, perhaps forever lay down in the Holy City ice-cold city wall.” “这次你错了,”雷恩忽然神秘地笑道,“如果我没有在寒风岭躺上一周,恐怕就永远躺在圣城冰冷的城墙上了。” „What does it mean?” Petrov shoulders the eyebrow. “什么意思？”培罗挑起眉毛。 „I was also listen to others saying that” the Elk second son approached the ear, said in a low voice, „new Holy City almost fell to the enemy, Evil Beast rushed to the inner city. If were not Church has sent out they strongest warrior, only feared that could not preserve including the Holy City cathedral. However the Four Great Kingdoms army loses seriously, Cold Wind Ridge has not come back several people. In short one month, whole city is a widow, in the even occasion does not have the savings......” he blinked, stretches out two fingers to gesticulate, „two silver royal. Hey, do not visit me with this look, I may anything not do.” “我也是听别人说的,”麋鹿次子凑近耳朵,低声说,“新圣城差点沦陷,邪兽都冲到了内城里。如果不是教会派出了他们最强的武士,只怕连圣城大教堂都保不住。不过四大王国的军队都损失惨重,寒风岭就没回来几个人。短短一个月里,满城都是寡妇,平时家里没有积蓄的……”他眨了眨眼睛,伸出两根指头比划了下,“两枚银狼就可以。喂,别用这种眼神看我,我可什么都没干。” „Do you determine this news real? That side boundary guard what to do?” “你确定这消息是真的？那边境卫队怎么办？” „Naturally, I personally see, feudal lord received the message the same day to fall ill.” Ryan shrugs, „as for guard...... What to do can also, recruit slowly again. Now northern region desperately short of experienced soldier, if not in the family/home does not call me, I at least can also command on a troop.” “当然,我可是亲眼所见,领主收到消息的当天就病倒了。”雷恩耸耸肩,“至于卫队……还能怎么办,慢慢再招募呗。现在北境急缺经验丰富的战士,如果不是家里非把我叫回来,我至少也能统领上一支骑兵队了。” This at all is not the key point, Petrov at heart mused, the object of Cold Wind Ridge's border guard mainly defense is Church Judgement Army, now the Four Great Kingdoms military officers and soldiers ruin in Hermes, sees a little plot flavor. If they have schemed, Greycastle north simply likely is dug up up the woman of clothes now, „Judgement Army, how do they lose?” 这根本不是重点,培罗心里暗想,寒风岭的边境卫队主要防御的对象就是教会审判军,现在四大王国的将领和战士们一齐葬送在赫尔梅斯,怎么看都有点阴谋的味道。如果他们有所图谋,灰堡北方现在简直像个被扒光衣服的女人,“审判军呢,他们损失如何？” „Will not compare four country army good many, thinks to know, they always clash in the forefront fanatic. On the other hand, if Judgement Army does not force up, the troops in other countries will definitely not move,” he disdains saying that „that helps Knight is this, said the honor, when to resisting Evil Beast, liked shrinking in behind.” “不会比四国军队好多少,想想就知道,他们总是冲在最前面的狂热分子。话说回来,如果审判军不顶上去,其他国家的人马肯定不会动弹,”他不屑道,“那帮骑士都是这样,把荣誉挂在嘴边,到对抗邪兽时,都喜欢缩在后面。” „For example my present,” Petrov smiled, perhaps was wants. However Church wants to start to north, has nothing to do with Longsong Stronghold. Let new King go to headache matter. “比如说我眼前的这位,”培罗笑了笑,或许是自己想多了。不过就算教会想对北方下手,也跟长歌要塞无关。让新国王去头痛这事吧。 „What regrets, but also nobody accepts my giving loyalty, or I had not discovered that who has this qualifications,” Ryan paused, looks toward the entrance, „the Wolf Family person came, I under greeting they, later again look for you first.” “遗憾的是,还没有人接受我的效忠,或者说,我还没发现谁有这个资格,”雷恩顿了顿,朝门口望去,“奔狼家的人来了,我先去招呼下他们,待会儿再来找你。” „Goes, did not use.” “去吧,不用回来了。” „Was right,” just went out of two steps him to turn head, „do you have to note the handkerchief in invitation?” “对了,”刚走出两步他又回过头,“你有没有注意到邀请函里的手绢？” „Do you put?” “你放的？” „, I will only fill the strip to you across two days of socks,” he waves the hand to refer, „that is my younger sister cuts personally, although your age disparity was big, so long as you had that meaning, I definitely was lift both hands to support both of you. Do not tow again, friend, you were 22 years old.” “呵,我只会给你塞条穿过两天的袜子,”他摇摇手指,“那可是我妹妹亲手裁的,虽然你们年纪差距大了点,不过只要你有那个意思,我肯定是举双手支持你们俩。不要再拖了,朋友,你已经22岁了。” Petrov has given him a supercilious look, the latter blows a whistling, got out of the way with a smile. 培罗给了他一个白眼,后者吹声口哨,笑着走开了。 The end next glass of liquor from the tray of waiter, a Petrov person walks slowly and aimlessly the corner, calmly is sizing up the lively hall. He notes, Aurelian and sisters discussed really happy at the same time, will also look at two to oneself secretly. Four items of relative instances, he can see between the lines of sight and double cheeks that a moment ago the opposite party moved away rapidly appeared wiped blushes bashfully. 从侍者的盘子中端下一杯酒,培罗一个人踱到角落,静静打量着热闹的大厅。他注意到,奥瑞利安和姐妹们相谈甚欢的同时,还会偷偷向自己这边望上两眼。刚才四目相对的瞬间,他能看到对方迅速移走的视线和双颊间浮现出的一抹羞赧。 Petrov returns by the smile of politeness. However in his opinion, the opposite party is also only a little girl. 培罗回以礼貌的微笑。不过在他看来,对方还只是个小姑娘。 Suddenly, hall one side has resounded an intense discussion sound, captures the attention of all people. 忽然间,大厅一侧响起了一阵激烈的讨论声,将所有人的目光都吸引过去。 „What! Does he dare to say really?” “什么！他真敢这么说？” „Yes, Cornelius that coward, the fart does not dare to put one unexpectedly, such dingily came back.” The sound biggest that person said, „makes Longsong Stronghold be shamed simply!” “是啊,寇里斯那胆小鬼,居然屁都不敢放一个,就这么灰溜溜地回来了。”声音最大的那人说道,“简直让长歌要塞蒙羞！” Petrov knows him, as if calls Simon Elliott, the Wolf Family branch, married some quite beauty women. The woman he has also seen, is truly impressive. 培罗认识他,似乎是叫西蒙.埃里来着,奔狼家的分支,娶了个颇有些姿色的女人。那女人他也见过,确实独具魅力。 „Said resembles you to have the means solution to be the same.” Some people scoff to say with a smile. “说得好像你有办法解决一样。”有人嗤笑道。 „Perhaps I alone cannot accomplish, but if can make Sir Duke note this absurd matter, I do not believe Roland Wimbledon also to dare so recklessly the unseemly behavior!” “我一个人或许办不到,但若能让公爵大人注意到这件荒谬的事情,我不相信罗兰.温布顿还敢如此肆意妄为！” Hears this familiar name, Petrov startled, immediately raised the interest. 听到这个熟悉的名字,培罗怔了怔,顿时升起了兴趣。
