然而不可能的事情很快成为了现实。Big birdgathers round the cementsquareto circlewhiledecreases in the altitude, above Hornehas been ableto see clearly the driver who cranes one's neck and look around. The volume of man-madethingis bigger than carriage, heis unable to understandin any event,actually such heavythingishowfloatslike the birdinairborne.
大鸟一边围着水泥广场盘旋一边降低高度,霍恩已能看清上面探头张望的驾驶者。人造之物的体积比马车还要大,他无论如何都无法理解,这样沉重的东西究竟是如何像鸟儿一样漂浮在空中的。Otherpeoplegenerallyalsoharbor the similarthought.
其他人大抵也怀着同样的念头。When the airplanewas roaringpassing over gently and swiftlysquaresky, evenmanyworkersknelt down, has made the posture of pray.
当铁鸟咆哮着掠过广场上空时,甚至不少工人跪倒下来,做出了祈祷的姿势。Even if the miracle, perhapswas also mediocre.
就算是神迹,恐怕也不过如此了。„Your older sisterAndrea above,”this timeHofford Quinnhas supplementedone, „, butshebelieved the set offdate that mentionedisyesterday.”
“你的姐姐安德莉亚就在上面,”这时霍弗德.奎因又补充了一句,“而她信中提到的出发日期是昨天。”Horneunderstood the word „yesterday” the meaninggood long while.霍恩好半天才理解到“昨天”一词的含义。Responded the flash, hefelt that the backfine body hairhas stood.
反应过来的一瞬间,他感到背后的寒毛都立了起来。Beyondthousand li (500 km), a dayto?
千里之外,一天即至?

「现在,这个临界点已不复存在」——父亲的话重现耳边,直到此刻,他才明白自己之前的想法有多么可笑。Man-madeairplanefallinggroundone after another, whenAndreagoes down the cabin, Hoffordmoved forward to meet somebodyimpatiently.
人造铁鸟一架接一架的滑落地面,当安德莉亚走下座舱时,霍弗德迫不及待地迎了上去。

一场专门为灰堡女巫准备的洗尘宴在城堡王宫举行,尽管没有通知任何贵族参加,但来访客人从天空而降的消息很快便传遍了整个辉光城。Hadtoomanypeopleto notethisoutstandingone.
有太多人注意到了这不同凡响的一幕。Used the lunch, Hoffordto findonefinallywith the opportunity that the daughterwas togetheralone.
用过午餐,霍弗德总算找到了一个和女儿单独相处的机会。Whatmadehisgratifiedwas, thisopposite partyat leastis willingto callhimfor the father.
令他欣慰的是,这次对方至少愿意叫他为父亲了。„Do youwantto leavein the afternoon?”Hoffordquitesomedo not abandonsaid.
“你下午就要离开么?”霍弗德颇有些不舍道。„BeforeSunsets, wemustrush to the Cage Mountainborder, convergeswithFirst Army.” The Andreanod said that „, if notconsideredthisiseverybodyinterstatefliesfor the first time, The Seagullshouldarrive in--suchinoneday, the time of eating mealwill not have.”
“在太阳落山前,我们必须赶到笼山边境,与第一军汇合。”安德莉亚点头道,“如果不是考虑到这是大家的首次跨境飞行,海鸥号本应该在一天内抵达——那样的话,连吃顿饭的时间都不会有。”
A daycrossestwokingdoms! Even ifhealreadyunderstoodthistype of inconceivablecarrierfrom the daughterpastreply, butthissayingstillmadehimfeel not smallshock. AlthoughbeforehandteachesHornenot to realize that the Greycastle'schange, wheremayin factalsoverytogo. After Hoffordsighedsecretly, feels the chin saying that „youmake such bignoiseactuallyintentionally?”
一天横穿两个王国!即使他早已从女儿过去的回信中了解到了这种不可思议的运载工具,但这话仍让他感到了不小的震撼。虽然之前教训霍恩没有认识到灰堡的变化,可实际上自己也好不到哪里去。霍弗德暗自感叹了番后,才摸着下巴道,“你们其实是故意闹出这么大动静的吧?”Andreahas shown a happy expressionfinally, „did youlook?”安德莉亚终于露出了一丝笑意,“您看出来了?”„Ialwaysthought that the airplanelandingdoes not needto circlesuch a long time,”Hofford, helplesssaid,„suchlane, onlyfeared the southern districtpeoplehearditsbellow. Naturally, in the near futuresome not law-abidingnobleactuallyextremely good a remindertothathelp/gang.”
“我总觉得飞机降落并不用盘旋那么长时间,”霍弗德无奈道,“这样一弄,只怕南城区的人都听到了它的轰鸣声。当然,对那帮近期有些不安分的贵族倒是一个极好的提醒。”„Thisis only a consideration, anotherpointcomforts the popular sentiment.”Sheshrugs, „Iheard that inDawnhas also discovered the DevilDread Beasttrail, ifcanmaketheseresidentsknow that the Greycastlearmyalsohas the flying ability, scaredwill not be then easyto spread.”
“这只是其中一个考量,另一点则是安抚民心。”她耸耸肩,“我听说晨曦境内也发现了魔鬼恐兽的踪迹,如果能让那些居民知道灰堡军队也拥有飞行能力的话,恐慌便不会那么容易蔓延开来。”„Trulyis at one fell swoopmanyprocedure, isthatPearl of the Northern Landswantsto come out?”
“确实是个一举多的做法,是那位北地珍珠想出来的吗?”„No, isYour HighnessTilly.”
“不,是提莉殿下。”
When mentioned the WimbledonPrincess Commandername, Hoffordnotedin the daughtereyesnot to reveal an arroganceon own initiative, as ifwithhavingglorygeneral. It seems likeshealsoreallyhanded over the goodfriendinNeverwinter, Hoffordthought. Henods, has changed a topic, „was right, youhave not thoughtreallyinheritsmyposition?”
提及温布顿家长公主的名字时,霍弗德注意到女儿眼中不自觉流露出了一股得意之情,仿佛与有荣焉一般。看来她在无冬还真交到了不错的朋友,霍弗德心想。他点点头,换了个话题,“对了,你真没想过继承我的位置么?”„Howalsoto speak ofthis?”Andreaselects the eyebrow, „Ihave not meant, don't Ihave the interestto the Dawnthrone? Are youunsatisfiedtoHorne?”
“怎么又说到这个了?”安德莉亚挑眉,“我不是说过,我对晨曦王位没兴趣么?难道您对霍恩不满意?”„Heisqualifiednoble, has the talentto the trade, if onlyposition of the Earl, Ithink should notanyissue.”Hoffordshakes the head, „may the issuebeHornealsolikeothernoble, placed great emphasis on the benefit. In the familythere aremanypeople unable to understandall that Imake, theydo not understandpresentpayout, for the status of betterconsolidatedfamily.”
“他是一个合格的贵族,对商业也颇具天分,如果只是一个伯爵之位,我想应该没什么问题。”霍弗德摇摇头,“可问题是霍恩也像其他贵族一样,太看重利益了。家族里有许多人都无法理解我所做的一切,他们不明白现在的付出,是为了更好的巩固家族的地位。”
Since hebecomesLord of Dawn, the Quinn Familypersonmentalitysomewhathadsomechanges, the adopted sonis no exception. Tradesto makebeforehandHorne, does not dareto say " youin front ofoneselfnotlikeLord of Dawn, butlikelyis the Roland WimbledonYour Majesty'sofficial " the words. Eithersomepeopleinstigatehimin the back, eitherwashehas regardednextKingoneself.
自从他成为晨曦之主后,奎因家的人心态多多少少都发生了些许变化,养子也不例外。换作以前的霍恩,决计不敢在自己面前说出「您不像晨曦之主,而像是罗兰.温布顿陛下的臣子」这样的话来。要么有人在背后怂恿他,要么就是他已经把自己当成了下一任国王。
The word " Your Majesty " trulyelated, butbehind the authorityis hiding the same levelrisk, hedoes not wantto let the HornestepAnpeifootsteps.
「陛下」一词确实让人心醉,但权力背后隐藏着同等的风险,他不想让霍恩步安佩因的后尘。Moreovera littlehehas not said that thatby the Hornestatus, onlyfeared that verydifficultcommandanothertworespected familiesto believe.
而且还有一点他没有说出来,那就是以霍恩的身份,只怕很难令另外两大家族信服。In fact, Loki FamilyandTokat Familyare willingto support itself, very bigdegreeisreason that becausethattwosuccessorsare willingto work to Andrea.
事实上,洛西家和托卡特家愿意支持自己,很大程度是因为那两位继承人愿意向安德莉亚效力的缘故。„Thatis the matter that youneedto solve,”Andreacannotsetotherwisesaid.
“那是您需要解决的事情,”安德莉亚不可置否道。„Ifyouare not willingto replaceme, Ihaveto break offto pass toanothertwofamiliesto share the throne.”Hofforddoes intentionally the regretto say.
“如果你不愿意接替我的话,那我就只好将王位掰开来传给另外两个家族共享了。”霍弗德故作遗憾道。„Do yougive up?”
“您舍得?”„Hasanythingnot to give up,”hishalfearnestsay/way, „when the time comesI can also savehalf jokinglytroublemuch. After waiting for the warto end, perhapsI can also moveNeverwinter Cityto accompanyyou, secureenjoyed the old agewhile convenient.”
“有什么舍不得的,”他半开玩笑半认真道,“到时候我也能省不少麻烦。等战争结束之后,说不定我还可以搬去无冬城陪陪你,顺便安享晚年。”
This actually notrefined languageunguardedly, ifRoland WimbledoncanwinWar of Divine Will, hewill also maintainFour Great Kingdomsto continueto exist? Hofforddoes not think. Quinn Familycanarrivethisstep, merelybecause of the chancecoincidence of war, whatifinthroneperhapsisAndrea, Rolandwill not have had an action to perform, maychange intoother peopledifficultlyto say.
这倒不是一句信口之辞,倘若罗兰.温布顿能赢得神意之战,他还会维持四大王国继续存在吗?霍弗德并不这么认为。奎因家能走到这一步,仅仅是因为战争的机缘巧合而已,如果王位上的是安德莉亚,罗兰或许还不会有所动作,可换成他人就难说了。Before thisjust likehe said that is usedto maintainbalanced„distance”was broken.
正如他此前所说的,用来维持平衡的“距离”已经被打破了。Andreastares athimfor a long time, has not given the responsefinally, butHoffordcanfeel, daughter'slooksoftenedcompared with the pastindistinctlylittle. Crossedsome little time, sheopens the mouth saying that „timearrived, Ishouldwalk.”安德莉亚凝视他许久,最终也没有给出回应,但霍弗德能感受到,女儿的眼神比起过去隐约软化了少许。过了好一会儿,她才开口道,“时间到了,我该走了。”„Remembers that looks after itself.”Hoffordbearswantto put out a handto touch the impulsion of daughterhead, „words that has free time, Iwill go to the frontlineto lookyour.”
“记得照看好自己。”霍弗德忍住想要伸手去摸女儿脑袋的冲动,“有空的话,我会去前线看你的。”„...... You are also.”Andreaturned aroundto leave the study room.
“……您也是。”安德莉亚转身离开了书房。Hoffordtook a deep breath, byhas closed the eyeon the chair.霍弗德深吸口气,靠在椅子上闭上了眼睛。Hedoes not haveto forgetownoneyear ago decision that makes.
他没有忘记自己一年前做出的决定。In order tomake up for the pastmistake, heis willingto spendononeselfremaining years of life.
为了弥补过去的错误,他愿意花上自己的余生。
