Regardingmost people, nightof this dayis the rarerelaxationtime.
对于大多数人而言,这一天的夜晚是难得的放松时刻。Although the Devilfloatingempty citynight and daywas still movingin the Hermesdirection, butat leastcannot seethisinDawnKingdom Capital. Was far away from the frontlineto helpeverybodyobtain the shorttranquility, especiallynext daytheyonce morewill rush toundersituation that the battlefield, drifted apart, suchNingxiaquietly appeared more commendable.
尽管魔鬼的浮空城仍在日以继夜地朝着赫尔梅斯方向移动,但至少在晨曦王都看不到这一幕。远离前线让大家获得了短暂的宁静,特别是第二天他们就将再次赶赴战场、各奔东西的情况下,这样的宁静便更显得难能可贵起来。
When Andreaenters the familymansionyard, Hofford Quinnalreadyinentranceshe.安德莉亚走进家族府邸大院时,霍弗德.奎因已经在门口等她了。„Welcometo go home, daughter.”
“欢迎回家,女儿。”„Yeah......”Andreaslightly nodded. Thisissheoneyearlater, returns to the familymansiononce more, moreoverdoes not intrude, butentersunderlining the street to welcome of retinue. To be honest, shehopes that usesthesetimewhenTilly, whenreceives the opposite partyinvitation, sheactuallyfeltoneto touch, finallyinexplicablecomplied.
“嗯……”安德莉亚微微点了点头。这是她时隔一年后,再次回到家族府邸,而且并非闯入,而是在仆从的夹道欢迎下进入其中。老实说,她更希望把这些时间用在提莉身边,不过当收到对方的邀请函时,她心里却感受了一丝触动,最后莫名的答应下来。Thismatter, cantellherafterbreaking upobviouslydirectly.
这种事情,明明可以在散会后直接跟她说的。Probably...... Hewas also fearingoneselfreject.
大概……他也在怕自己拒绝吧。Howeverarrived when reallyface-to-face, shedoes not know that shouldsayanywas good.
不过真到了面对面时,她又不知道该说什么好了。Thisafter allandpreviousmeetingis different, at that timeshehad the dutyto come, now is actually only a slightlyunfamiliarreunion.
这毕竟和上一次会面不同,那时候她带着任务而来,现在却只是一次略显生疏的重逢而已。„Youthink...... Whatchattedwithme?”Walksin the corridor, Andreaasked.
“您想……和我聊什么?”走在过道中,安德莉亚问道。„Many, for exampleyouatmatter of frontlineexperience, for exampleyourpartner, for examplethatMr.Roland Wimbledon......”
“很多,比如你在前线经历的事情,比如你的伙伴,比如那位罗兰.温布顿先生……”„Thatis only a fool,-- that anythingis not goodto chat”Andreaspoke thoughtlessly saying that afterwardrealizedsomewhatimproper, „, mymeaningwas......”
“那只是一个笨蛋而已,没什么好聊的——”安德莉亚随口回道,随后又意识到有些不妥,“呃,我的意思是……”„Can look, heisMonarch of the forgiving.”Hoffordsmiled, „felt relieved,Iknowyoursomedo not adapt, if onlytwo peopletalks, thisperhapswill be late unendurable, thereforehas madesomepreparationsspecially.”
“看得出来,他是位宽容之君。”霍弗德笑了笑,“放心,我知道你有些不适应,如果只是两人交谈,这晚恐怕会非常难熬,所以特意做了些准备。”„Preparation?”
“准备?”„Went inyouto understand.”Hestopsin the mainhallentrance.
“进去你就明白了。”他停在主厅门口。Andrea some shoving opendoors of doubts, have not seen clearly the condition in room, a formthendashes to come--towardher安德莉亚有些疑惑的推开房门,还未看清屋里的状况,一个身影便朝她直扑而来——„Iwant dead you, Quinnelder sister!”
“我想死你了,奎因姐!”So that's it......原来如此……Sheslightlysomewhatfunnilyopenshand, whateveropposite partyheldto fill with.
她略有些好笑地张开手,任由对方抱了个满怀。Belinda that throws. Loki.
扑上来的正是贝琳达.洛西。In addition, near the longtablealsohasother two--Otto LokiandOro Tokat. Lattertwo peoplealsoappearquiteexcited, Ottoevenseems the somewhathelplessfeeling.
除此之外,长桌边还有另外两人——奥托.洛西和奥罗.托卡特。后两人也显得颇为激动,其中奥托甚至看上去有些手足无措的感觉。ThisletsinstantaneouslyAndreaas ifreturned for more than tenyears ago, shehas not awakenedto become the witchday.
这一幕瞬间让安德莉亚仿佛回到了十多年前,她还没有觉醒成为女巫的日子。Belindachirp and Oroenthusiasmmelted the initialstiffnessquickly, butalmost can never with the younger generation the father who chatted, satwiththeminonerarely.贝琳达的叽叽喳喳和奥罗的热情很快化解了最初的僵硬,而几乎从不会和晚辈在一起谈笑的父亲,也罕见地和他们坐在了一起。Tochattwowith, healsoreallythought through a matter...... Andreasuddenlydiscovered,oneselfbottom of heartthathatred, has almost been not much left.
为了和自己聊上两句,他还真是用心良苦啊……安德莉亚忽然发现,自己心底的那点恨意,差不多已经所剩无几了。„Was right, after the warended, we must go toNeverwinter City, when the time comescanmeetfrequently.”Belindablinkedtowardher.
“对了,等到战争结束后,我们也要去无冬城,到时候就能经常见面啦。”贝琳达朝她眨了眨眼睛。Andreais astonishedselects the eyebrow saying that „youarerefer to......”安德莉亚讶异地挑眉道,“你们是指……”„Naturallyisthree of ustogether!”
“当然是我们三人一起!”„Yeah, Yeah!”Oromakes an effortto nod.
“嗯,嗯!”奥罗用力点头。„Wait/Etc....... Ottoand are Oro the familysuccessors? For a long timeleaves the territory, your family'sthattwoold can Earlcomply?” A AndreafacedoubtlookstoOtto, is Is it possiblethisfellowis instigatingin secret? Suchalso was too rather irresponsible.
“等等……奥托和奥罗是家族继承人吧?长时间离开领地,你们家的那两位老伯爵能答应?”安德莉亚一脸狐疑地望向奥托,难不成是这家伙在暗中唆使?那样未免也太不负责任了。„No...... It is not such that youthink,”Ottobeckons with the handhastily, stutters saying that „, althoughIalsohopeso, butthatandthatare onlypart of factors...... Alwaysandin brief......”
“不……不是你想的那样,”奥托连忙摆手,结结巴巴道,“虽然我也希望如此,但那、那只是一部分因素……总、总之……”„Makesmeexplain.”Belindapitiedto pat the brothershoulder, afterwardsaidtoAndrea,„youwaited a momentvery muchinDawn, thereforewas not clear the change that recentlyhad. Nowin the bigcity, especiallyin the Shining Light Citynoblecircle, graduallyspreads a view, that is if a familyknows nothingabout the naturestudy, thenitis doomedto decline.”
“还是让我来解释吧。”贝琳达怜悯地拍了拍老哥肩膀,随后对安德莉亚说道,“你很少待在晨曦,所以不清楚最近发生的变化。如今在大城市,特别是辉光城的贵族圈里,渐渐流传起了一种说法,那便是如果一个家族对自然学一无所知,那么它注定是要没落的。”„Naturestudy? Is it possible that......”
“自然学?莫非……”„Right,”Belindanodswith a smile, „from the beginningtrulyisthatNeverwinter Citypublication«Theoretical Foundations of Natural Science», buthas refinednowmanydisciplines. Somepeoplesaid that itfornewvirtuestudy, somepeoplethink that alchemyanddivines by astrologyis onlyitspart, butno matter how, in the noblecircletrulysurgedsuchunrest, so long asnaturestudykind of booksfromNeverwinter City, will have the merchantto buy at a high price.”
“没错,”贝琳达笑着点点头,“一开始确实是那本无冬城出版的《自然科学理论基础》,不过现在已经细化成多个学科了。有人称它为新贤学,有人则认为炼金和占星都只是它的一部分,但不管如何,贵族圈里确实涌起了这样的风潮,只要是来自无冬城的自然学类书籍,都会有商人高价收购。”„FatherSirwas also affected, whenthereforeweproposed when thisidea, heextremelyhad not opposed that--studies independentlyalwaysnot to compareto have the specialistafter all to instruct.”Shethen said that „, let alonehadseveralfamiliesto walkinfront, the fatherdoes not hopeprobablyLoki Familyfalls the person. Thereforethisis not the irresponsibleprocedure! With the words of fatherSir, heinsistedagainseveralyearsdo not have the issue.”
“父亲大人也受到了影响,因此当我们提出这个想法时,他并未太过反对——毕竟自学总比不上有专人指导。”她接着说道,“何况已有几个家族走在了前面,父亲大概也不希望洛西家落人于后。所以这并不是不负责任的做法喔!用父亲大人的话来说,他再坚持个几年还是没有问题的。”„Theystimulateby the airplane and steelsea boat,”Oroshrugsdeprecatingly, „naturally, canputmeto exitto travel, Ilift the both handsapproval.”
“他们只是被飞机和钢铁海船刺激到罢了,”奥罗不以为意地耸耸肩,“当然,能放我出去游历一番,我举双手赞成。”„Iwantto say...... Alsothese.”Ottocaught one's breath, „. Moreover, weplan an officebook club.”
“我想说的……也正是这些。”奥托缓了口气,“而且,我们打算办一个读书会。”„What is that?”Andreacurioussay/way.
“那又是什么?”安德莉亚好奇道。„Contentthat many of naturestudy, light, only thenourthreepeople were too few.”Belindalets go saying that „, thereforewewantto choosesomeaptitudegoodmerchants and common people, givesthemcontactnaturestudy the opportunity. Ifdisplaysoutstanding, integrates the familythem, this is also answers multiple purpose. Do youthink?”
“自然学的内容那么多,光只有我们三个人实在太少了啦。”贝琳达摊手道,“所以我们想挑选一些资质好的商人和平民,给他们一个接触自然学的机会。如果表现出众的话,就将他们纳入家族,这样也算是一举多得。你觉得呢?”Andreadoes not knowthisansweranythinggoodfor a while.安德莉亚一时不知道该回答什么好。Sherealizedsuddenly,her father, isotherpeople, is having the change.
她突然意识到,无论是她的父亲,还是其他人,都在发生着变化。In the pastwas regarded aswitch of taboo, as well asshelteredwitch, to relievenobleto enfeoff the authorityevilkingdomGreycastle, is not the Dawnupper society people the goal that was gladto imitate the study, butintegrated the family the blood relationshipordinaryaverage person, similarlywas contrary to the tradition. The boundary that butnow, theseoncedistinguished right from wrongstartedbecomesfuzzy.
过去被视为禁忌的女巫,以及庇护女巫、解除贵族分封权力的邪恶王国灰堡,绝不会是晨曦上层人士乐意效仿学习的目标,而将血统平凡的普通人纳入家族,同样有违传统。但现在,这些曾泾渭分明的边界已开始变得模糊。Shecannot help butlookstofatherHofford Quinn.
她不由得望向父亲霍弗德.奎因。Without a doubt, inthisalsohashisguidanceinevitably.
毫无疑问,这里面必然也有他的引导。Hetrulytomake up for the mistaketries hard.
他确实在为弥补过错而努力。
The matterforeverimpossibleeliminated, the change that butfollowingmadeat leastcanmakeitno longermake same mistakes over again.
已经发生的事情永远不可能消去,但后续做出的改变至少能让它不再重蹈覆辙。Thisis the thing that youwantto express, father?
这就是你想表达的东西吧,父亲?
