这算得上是女巫联盟第一次主动向教会发起的攻击,除开救下斯佩尔.帕西外,还生擒了一名赫尔梅斯神官。Whenfiveparticipates in the fightwitchto mount the stage, in the hallbursts into the warm applause, usuallyhe of fewdrinkinghas donetwoglasses of Evelynspecially-madeicingfruit juicewhite liquorscontinually.
当五位参加战斗的女巫登台时,大厅中爆发出热烈的掌声,平日很少喝酒的他都连干了两杯伊芙琳特制的冰镇果汁白酒。Althoughis only a smallvictory, butlongMonths of Demonsitselfmakes the personnervetie tight, healsohopes that under canrelaxeverybody'smoodtaking this opportunity.
尽管只是一次微小的胜利,但漫长的邪魔之月本身就让人神经紧绷,他也希望能借此机会放松下大家的心情。WhenThe next dayRolandrubs the somewhatdizzyheadis entering the office, Nightingalehas sat cross-leggedto siton the tablewaits.
等到隔天罗兰揉着有些晕眩的脑袋走进办公室时,夜莺已经盘腿坐在桌上等待了。„Doesn't useunder the multi-rests?”Heaskedwith a smile.
“不用多休息下吗?”他笑着问道。Sinceagreed after the opposite partyintercepts the envoygroup, oneselftrulyhad not felt relieved--, even ifknowsonceenters the spaciousregion, the dense fogabilitycanmakeherbe in an impregnable position, was still worried that bitter experienceanythingaccident/surpriseand so on, after allthisis notpracticesdaily, butistruelife and deathpreying. Nowseesfull of energyher, hismoodwas joyfulimmediately.
自从同意对方截击使者团后,自己就一直没有真正放下心来过——哪怕知道一旦进入空旷地域,迷雾能力便可让她立于不败之地,也仍担心遭遇什么意外之类,毕竟这不是日常练习,而是真正的生死搏杀。现在见到精神抖擞的她,他的心情顿时愉悦了许多。Nightingaleswallowsdried fish, „naturallydoes not use, Irestoredto the optimum condition.”夜莺咽下鱼干,“当然不用,我已经恢复到最佳状态了。”Rolandjustsatreturns to the seat, shejumped downfrom the table, circlesgraspedhimto the chairbehind, „, ifIrested for day, wantedto be rareyour for day.”罗兰刚坐回到座位上,她就从桌上跳下,绕到椅子背后抱住了他,“如果我多休息一天,就要少见你一天了。”
The princeis startledslightly.
王子微微一怔。„ActuallyyesterdayincastlegardenIwantsuchto do...... Howevernowhas not missed,”Nightingalewhisperedin the ear.
“其实昨天在城堡花园时我就想这么做来着……不过现在也没差啦,”夜莺在耳边低语道。
......
……Untiloutside the officehas resounded the sound of footsteps, sheremovesboth hands, hiddenentersin the dense fog.
直到办公室外响起了脚步声,她才撤开双手,隐入迷雾中。„Your highness,”personal guardshouts, „Fallen Dragonleadsfeudal lord, marquisPercyto seek an interview.”
“殿下,”亲卫喊道,“坠龙领领主,帕西侯爵求见。”„Invitedhercome in.”Rolandsettles the throatclear, squaresstance.
“请她进来。”罗兰清了清喉咙,摆正姿态。Speer Percyenters the office, after caressing the chestsalutes, sitsbefore the table, „the request of yourpremise, Ihave consideredcarefully.”斯佩尔.帕西走进办公室,抚胸行礼后坐在桌前,“您之前提的要求,我都仔细考虑过了。”„Do youthinkwhat kind of?”Hegivesopposite partya cup of tea.
“你觉得怎么样?”他给对方倒了杯茶。Infor several days that inNightingale, Ashand the othersandChurchfight, hehas not idled, besidesbringingMarquiseis visitingsmall town, but alsohas carried on the multiplediscussionwith the opposite party. In this periodRoland the crisis and Church's that originwill soon face the kingdom, as well as the threat of Devilbriefly and to the pointnarrated, andtoldherfollowingplan.
在夜莺、灰烬等人与教会战斗的这些天里,他也没闲下来,除了带着女侯爵参观小镇外,还同对方进行了多次商谈。期间罗兰把王国即将面临的危机、教会的来历,以及魔鬼的威胁都简明扼要地讲述了一遍,并告诉了她自己接下来的打算。WhenSpeerhears the Church'soriginandhunts and kills the witchreason, is surprised the eyequicklyto stare. If no TillyandAgathatestifies, sheestimated that in any eventdoes not believewitchonceruled the view of entirewasteland, but, hermannerhad not the smalltransformationafter that.
当斯佩尔听到教会的来历和猎杀女巫的缘由时,惊讶得眼睛都快瞪出来了。如果不是有提莉和爱葛莎作证,她估计无论如何都不会相信女巫曾统治整个蛮荒地的说法,不过从那之后,她的态度就有了不小的转变。„Takes backenfeoffs the authority, practices the sameregulation and administrative system, the duty can not inherit, cannotbuy and sell...... Theserequestmeto be by no means unacceptable, but......”herpaused, „Iam curious, youplannedpromotesreallythemto the completeterritory?”
“收回分封权力,实行同一种律法和行政制度,职务不得继承,也不许买卖……这些要求我并非不能接受,不过……”她顿了顿,“我只是好奇,您真的打算把它们推广到全部领地吗?”„Right, if not do this, Greycastleisbeachloose sand.” The Rolandnod said that „before the finalenemyarrives, Imustgatheras far as possiblemanystrengths.”
“没错,如果不这样做的话,灰堡不过是一滩散沙。”罗兰点头道,“在最终的敌人到来前,我必须聚集起尽可能多的力量。”„Youdid thisquiteinoffendingallnoble,”Speersaidslowly,„especially the duty can not inheriton--, ifIhad not understood that wrong, governedplacefeudal lord is also a duty. Then, you " rebel King " the statuswas solid.”
“您这样做就相当于得罪了所有贵族,”斯佩尔缓缓说道,“特别是职务不得继承上——如果我没理解错的话,掌管一地的领主也是种职务。如此一来,您「叛王」的身份就要坐实了。”„ThereforeIhave made concessionsfromhopelessthemon own initiative,”heis striking the tabletopgently, „beforeWar of Divine Will of decisiondestiny, the contradiction of nobledoes not need the keyconsideration the matter. MoreoverIam not ruthlessthem, so long asthesepeoplecanintegrate the newsystem, evencanholdownterritory, losesisenfeoffs the power--Ito believe that merelytheywill make the sensible choice.”
“所以我从没指望过他们主动退让,”他轻轻敲打着桌面,“在决定命运的神意之战前,贵族的抵触并不是需要重点考虑的事情。另外我并非把他们赶尽杀绝,只要这些人能融入新制度,甚至可以保有自己的领地,失去的仅仅是分封权而已——我相信他们会做出明智选择的。”
The system when the centralizationitselfonly thenincenterhasabsolute strengthcanrealize, if the placeinfluenceis strong, let alone the centralization, ownseatmightmomentarilybe overthrown. Oneyear ago different, presentsmall townhad the transformationstrength, whenthesestepis completed, Greycastleonlymeets the remainingrulersin the true sense, thatishe.
中央集权本身就只有在中央拥有绝对力量时才能实现的制度,若是地方势力强大,别说集权了,就连自己的位子都有可能随时被推翻。与一年前不同,如今的小镇已拥有了变革的力量,当这一步完成,灰堡只会剩下一个真正意义上的统治者,那就是他自己。„It seems likeyouhad set firm resolve,”Speersighed, „, ifIdid not accept, will be overthrownbyyourarmy.”
“看来您已经下定了决心,”斯佩尔叹了口气,“如果我不接受的话,也会被您的军队所推翻吧。”„Inthisplan, Imostlackis the manpower,”Rolandsaidsincerely,„especiallyhasto govern the superintendent who cityplaceexperiences. Such that just likeI said that youhave not lostyourterritory, moreovercanby the statusfrank and uprightappearance of witchbefore the people, not needto be threatenedbyChurch's.”
“这个计划里,我最缺的就是人手,”罗兰诚恳地说道,“特别是有着治理一城一地经验的管理者。正如我说的那样,你并没有失去自己的领地,而且还能以女巫的身份光明正大的出现在人民面前,再也不用受到教会的威胁。”Marquisesilentmoment, „myalsorequest.”女侯爵沉默了片刻,“我也有一个要求。”„Pleasesay.”
“请说。”„After youhelpmerecaptureFallen Dragonleads, Ihope that alldo not make the changetemporarily,”shespoke frankly, „, only ifTimothywere pushed down the throne, Icannot worryto standthis sideyou.”
“您帮我夺回坠龙领后,我希望一切暂时不作变化,”她直言道,“除非提费科被推下王位,我才能毫无顾虑地站到您这一边。”answerjust right...... Rolandthinks, is not only not the simplerejection, andhas leftroom of rotationtooneself. Thistradesto change intopopularview is, oneselfmustshow that lookstoher, unifiesGreycastleis not an empty talk, buttrulyhassuchstrength, sheis willingto hire oneself.
恰到好处的回答……罗兰想,既不是干脆的拒绝,又给自己留下了回转的余地。这句换换成通俗的说法便是,自己必须证明给她看,统一灰堡并不是一句空谈,而是确实具备这样的实力,她才愿意投靠过来。„Thensettled,”regarding the Marquisebottom of heartcalculation, hethinks littleslightly, if the spring offensiveis smooth, Timothywill fall from powerevenregainingFallen Dragon Ridgeis quicker.
“那么就说定了,”对于女侯爵心底的小算盘,他丝毫不以为意,如果春季攻势顺利的话,提费科倒台甚至会比收复坠龙岭更快。„Was right, Your highness,”Speerhesitant, „evening'switchcurriculum, Iwhetherwiththemtogether......”
“对了,殿下,”斯佩尔犹豫了下,“晚上女巫的课程,我能否跟着她们一起……”Rolandhas gawkedstaring, „theseareverysimpleformative education, youshould unable to learnanything.”罗兰愣了愣,“那些都是很浅显的启蒙教育,你应该已经学不到什么东西了。”„Ithought that thesecomputational methodsare very interesting,”sheshakes the head saying that „in the beforehandarithmeticbookhas never seen the similarcontent.”
“我觉得那些计算方法十分有意思,”她摇头道,“之前的算术书上从未见过相似的内容。”Isrefers to99multiplication tablesor the algebraic equations? Hehas cannot help but smiled, „naturally, so long asyouwantjoiningWitch Union.”
是指99乘法表还是代数方程?他不由得笑了起来,“当然可以,只要你愿意加入女巫联盟的话。”
......
……
After having had the lunch, Iron Axehas brought the goodnews.
吃过午饭后,铁斧带来了好消息。„Is hewillingto say?”Rolandslightlyfeels the accident/surprise, „is so quick?”
“他愿意说了?”罗兰略感意外,“这么快?”Listens to the view of Nightingale, healsothinksGod's Officer that is capturedis a diehard.
听夜莺的说法,他还以为被俘的神官是个顽固派来着。„It is not all people have the steelwill, Your highness,”Iron Axeanswersaidseriously,„Sandpeoplehassomeuniqueinterrogationways, is very smallto the bodily injury, butdevastationto the willis enormous, evencanmakepeoplethink that the deathon the contrarywas an extrication, hissuchhas exceededmanyaverage people.”
“不是所有人都拥有钢铁般的意志,殿下,”铁斧一本正经地回答道,“沙民有着一些独特的审问方式,对身体伤害很小,但对意志的摧残极大,甚至能让人觉得死亡反倒是一种解脱,他这样的已经胜过许多普通人了。”Said that but actuallyalsoright, hethinks, specializedspybesideswillexcellent, but alsoneedsto undergo the specialinquisition by tortureconfrontation training to achievedoes not open the mouth, butthistimeimpossiblesomepeoplehavesuchexperienceobviously.
这么说倒也没错,他想,专业间谍除了意志过人外,还需要经受专门的刑讯对抗训练才能做到绝不开口,而这个时代显然不可能有人具备这样的经验。„Leadsmeto seehim,” the Rolandnodsaid,„Ihappen tohavemanyissues to ascertain.”
“带我去见他,”罗兰点头道,“我正好有许多问题想问个清楚。”
