„your, your majesty, I...... It is not quite clear.”Marquis Wykehas wiped the perspiration on forehead, „eliminates...... Whatrefers to?”
“陛、陛下,我……不太明白。”威克侯爵擦了擦额头上的汗,“淘汰……是指什么?”„hanging post and mineservice, punishes and confiscates the family propertyanddeporting,”princesuperficialsay/way, „game ruleconforms to the royal familyregulation, is fair.”
“绞刑架、矿山劳役、罚没家产、驱逐出境,”王子轻描淡写道,“游戏规则符合王室律法,非常公正。”„No, Ihave worked for your father, youcannot--”
“不,我为您父亲效力过,您不可以——”„InowamyourHis Majesty The King, therefore,”hebreaks certainly saying that „should not be flustered, iftenissuespass, but can also obtain the promotion and reward. Hasto winto loseis interesting, right?”
“我现在是你的国王陛下,所以当然可以,”他打断道,“别慌张,如果十道问题都通过的话,还能获得晋升和奖励呢。有赢有输才有意思,对吗?”„I...... Is unacceptable,”KnightPailoshakes the head, „thistoochild's play! Thesepenalties that you said that must make the rulingby the adjudication division. Your Majesty, Ifelt that the bodyis somewhat ill, pleaseallowmeto ask to be excusedin advance.”
“我……不能接受,”派劳爵士摇摇头,“这太儿戏了!您说的那些惩罚必须由审判庭做出裁决。陛下,我感到身体有些不适,请容我先行告退。”Hehas turned around, wantsto leave the palace, the discoveryfront doorhad actually been closed, twosoldiersunemotionallystandin the exit, the meaning of not having made concessions.
他转过身,想要离开殿堂,却发现大门已经被关上,两名士兵面无表情地站在出口处,一点没有退让的意思。„Iam notam solicitingyoursuggestions, Mr.Pailo,”Rolandlets go saying that „, ifyouinsist onto walk, the way of eliminatingmustaddoneto plantmuch,”hehas given the hand signal of opening fire, „was killed.”
“我不是在征求你的意见,派劳先生,”罗兰摊手道,“如果你坚持要走,淘汰的方式就要多加一种了,”他做了个开枪的手势,“被击毙。”noblestare the bigeye, cannot help butwithdrewtwosteps, butboth sidessoldierhas held up the guns, is sizing up the movement of thisgroup of peoplevigilantly.贵族们瞪大眼睛,不由自主地退后了两步,而两旁的士兵则举起了枪支,警惕地打量着这伙人的动作。„Thennow, the gamestarts.”Rolandstood up, patshas clapped saying that „the firstissue, commandeeredregionalrefugees, forcingthemto attack the matter of Western Region, did youhaveparticipation? Firstis startedbyyou, Mr.Imperial Prime Minister.”
“那么现在,游戏开始。”罗兰站起身,拍了拍手道,“第一个问题,强征各地难民,逼迫他们进攻西境之事,你们有没有参与其中?就由你先开始吧,御前首相先生。”„......”Marquis Wykesilentmoment, „Iindeedhave complied withTimothydecree, recruits the refugeefromeastern regionandsouthern region, latterhalf a word that butyou said that Ido not know the circumstances of the matter.”
“……”威克侯爵沉默了片刻,“我的确有遵从过提费科的旨意,从东境和南境招募难民,但您说的后半句,我并不知情。”Rolandfelt that the left shoulderhad been pinchedgently.罗兰感到右肩被轻轻掐了一下。„Is very regrettable, Ihave toldyou, the opportunityonly thenonetime,”hebeckons with the hand, „detainshim, underthismain hallhas the jail.”
“很遗憾,我告诉过你,机会只有一次,”他摆摆手,“把他押下去,这座大殿底下就有监牢。”„Your Majesty, whatIsaidisreal--”
“陛下,我说的是真的——”„HoweveryourIknow,this is also lie,”Rolanddoes not pay attention to the appeal of Imperial Prime Minister, visualhewas being towed the palace, slowly said that „, ifyouare slightly intelligent, do not chooseto lie, suchdoes not haveprofit--toyouI, candistinguishlie.”
“然而你我都知道,就连这句也是一个谎言,”罗兰毫不理会御前首相的申诉,目视着他被拖下殿堂,才缓缓说道,“如果你们稍微聪明点的话,就不要选择说谎,那样对你们毫无益处——我,能够分辨谎言。”Allpeoplelook at dumbly in same place, for a whilenobodydaresto open the mouth.
所有人都呆立在原地,一时没人敢开口。„Ifnobodyinitiativeanswer, Imentioned by name,”helookeddeprecatinglytoMinister of Justice, „Mr.Pailo, you?”
“如果没人主动回答的话,那我就点名好了,”他不以为意地望向法务大臣,“派劳先生,你呢?”
......
……Just likein the Rolandheartthinks,thisis a trial.
正如罗兰心中所想,这是一场审判。Hemustresult in the quick sword cuts through tangled hempsolutionherenoble, has the energyto handlesouth of the Fallen Dragon Ridgematter. Hisimpossibleis too longinthisplacestay, finally must bemanagesherematters concerned--to take over control of the resistance in cityby the talented person of City Halltrained, came from localnoble, anotheris the blackstreetfaction.
他必须得快刀斩乱麻般解决完这边的贵族,才有精力去处理坠龙岭以南的事情。他本人不可能在此地停留太久,最终还得是由市政厅培养的人才来管理这边的事宜——而接管城市的阻力,一个来自于当地贵族,另一个则是黑街帮派。Is limitedlimited to the investmentstrength, hisimpossibleachieveslike thatthoroughlycombstoLongsong Strongholdlikely, thereforestillneededcertainlyto cooperatewith the traditional forces. The goal of thistrialfasteradicatestheseandTimothycolludestoodeeply, and bodyhasnoble of bigcrime, leaves behindbackgroundcleansmallnobleas the operation target, tomaintain the basicrevolution of city. As forblackstreetthat side, thencangiveTasato go to the coordinatedorder.
受限于投入力量有限,他不可能做到像对长歌要塞那般彻底梳理,所以与传统势力仍需要一定的合作。这场审判的目的就是快速铲除那些和提费科勾结太深,并且身上负有大罪的贵族,留下背景干净的小贵族作为合作对象,以维持城市的基本运转。至于黑街那边,则可以交给塔萨去协调秩序。After all, heinitiallydecidedto launch the spring offensive the goal, was worried that Timothyrecruits the peoplewantonly, wastesat the meaninglessbattle of attrition. IfoverthrowsTimothyto leaveto leave, the citydefinitelyin a short timewill fall into the confusion, hedid not haveanythingto distinguishwith the falseking.
毕竟,他当初决定发起春季攻势的目的,就是担心提费科大肆征召人民,浪费在毫无意义的消耗战上。如果推翻提费科就抽身离开,城市肯定会在短时间内陷入混乱,那他跟伪王也没什么区别了。Afteroneyear of developmentin low spirits, Rolandstrengthon handcompared withhas been no comparison between themat first, thereforedid not planregards the key cityto make utmost efforts to developfreelyKingdom Capital, does not needto giveother peopleto go to the proxylikestrongholdcompletely.
经过一年的闷头发展,罗兰手头的力量比起最初已不可同日而语,因此尽管不打算把王都当成重点城市全力发展,也无需像要塞那样完全交给他人去代理。
The noblesocial classorChurch, hehadhas mounted the stageto raise the table the qualifications.
无论是贵族阶级还是教会,他都有了登台掀桌的资格。„Lastissue, has anyone of youbulliedandpersecute the people? witchalsoincluding.”
“最后一个问题,你们有谁欺压、迫害过人民?女巫也包括在内。”Nineissuesget down, in the palace more than 50noble, now the remainingtenpeople, thiselimination rateis not only strange, becausecanhold an officeinCity Hall, itselfin advancehad been screenedonebyTimothy. Thought the people who he position, the Wimbledon IIIcause of deathdoes not leave undecidedwere kicked the royal palacebyhim, sevenpeoplehave not participated intheseplots that hehas plannedunexpectedly, simultaneouslyandChurchdoes not have the connection, madeRolandsurprisedvery much.
九个问题下来,殿堂中50多名贵族,现在只剩下十人不到,这个淘汰率并不奇怪,因为能在市政厅任职的,本身就被提费科先行筛选过一遍了。觉得他得位不正、温布顿三世死因存疑的人都被他踢出了王宫,还有七人居然没参与过他谋划的那些阴谋,同时和教会没有瓜葛的,已经很令罗兰惊讶了。„Your Majesty, Ihave the mistake,”noblewas sweating profuselyto kneel, „Ionceorderedhand/subordinateto beatcommon people, herubbedon the mud on footmypants, Ihave not bornefor a while...... Buthas punchedone, has not killedhim.”
“陛下,我有错,”一名贵族满头大汗地跪了下去,“我曾命令手下殴打过一位平民,他把脚上的泥巴蹭到了我的裤子上,我一时没忍住就……但只是揍了一顿而已,并没有杀死他。”„I...... Ihold a daughter of storebosssecretly, butsheenticesfirstmy!”
“我……我偷偷占有过一个商铺老板的女儿,但是她先勾引我的!”„Stewardexitsto go huntingwhileme, went to bedwithmy wife, Ihave not adopted the adjudication divisionruling, buthas cut off his fellowdirectly...... HoweverYour Majesty, should the stewardnot calculate?”
“管家趁我出去打猎,和我妻子上了床,我没通过审判庭裁决,而是直接砍断了他的那家伙……不过陛下,管家应该不算在内吧?”Othernobleall kinds ofanswermake the Rolandfee/spentbe madwith every effortwillholds in the happy expression, ifusually, thesemattersare not the crime, evenmakes mistakesis not. Butnow, theywere scaredvery muchobviously, for fear thatconcealstheseissuesalsoto be treated asto liebyoneself, allinclines.
余下贵族五花八门的回答让罗兰费尽力气才堪堪憋住笑意,若是平时,这些事情根本算不上罪行,甚至连犯错都不是。但现在,他们很明显慌了神,生怕隐瞒这些问题也被自己当作撒谎,以至于全部倾斜出来。When the opposite partysaid,Rolandsettles the throatclear, „notother?”
等到对方说完,罗兰清了清喉咙,“没有其他的了?”„Did not have,”nobleaffirmsto say.
“没有了,”贵族纷纷肯定道。When the left shouldertransmitspinchesgently, henods, „congratulateseverybody, youadopted the game.”
等到右肩传来轻轻一掐,他才点点头,“恭喜各位,你们通过了游戏。”These wordsmake the people who vies to answer firstrelaxobviously.
这句话让抢答的众人明显松了口气。„When Istarthas said that has the prize to punishinterestingly...... Relax, granting that Imakeis always effective, especiallyinCity Hallvacatesundersituation of these manyseats. Howeverbefore then, Isomewhatcareslightly,”Rolandlookstostanding, incrowdendtwo people--theydid not havebesidesanswer " " , has not spokena few wordsagain, in other words, these twoconfessed that has not offendedanyregulation, moreoverNightingalealsoconfirmedtheirjudgment, „youname, atCity Hallloadanyduty?”
“我开始时说过,有奖有罚才有意思……放心,我做出的允诺一向有效,特别是在市政厅空出这么多位子的情况下。不过在此之前,我略微有些在意,”罗兰望向站在人群末尾的两人——他们除了回答「没有了」之外,没有再多说过一句话,换句话说,这两人自认没有触犯过任何一条律法,而且夜莺也证实了他们的判断,“你们叫什么名字,在市政厅担任何职?”„Alva Taber, Your Majesty.”Person of answersaid,„Iam responsible forwith the constellationrelatedmatters concerned.”
“阿尔瓦.泰伯,陛下。”一人回答道,“我负责同星象有关的事宜。”„Blanche Orlando,”anotherpersonis the famousfemale, „holds the post ofetiquetteofficer.”
“布兰琪.奥兰多,”另一人是名女子,“担任礼仪官一职。”So that's it, thisdutywantsto do a misdemeanorprobablydifficultly...... They were also inCity Hallnobleonly the one by onestockpure running water. Rolandsitsreturns to Throne, „youcanleave the royal palacefirst, whenIreorganize the familyorder, will informyouto comeagain.”Hispaused, „youthencanexperiencequickly, mywieldingway and fatherandTimothyare not same, do not forgetyouto be ablethrough the reason of game...... Okaymaintains, suchgamecannotonly haveonetime.”原来如此,这种职务大概想做点坏事都难……两人也算是市政厅贵族里唯一一股清流了。罗兰坐回到王座上,“你们可以先离开王宫了,等我整顿完家族秩序,会再通知你们过来的。”他顿了顿,“你们很快便会见识到,我的执掌方式和父亲、提费科都不相同,别忘了你们能通过游戏的原因……好好保持下去,这样的游戏不会只有一次。”
After nobledraws backtimidly, Rolandalsoleft the palace, bringingNightingaleto walktoward the basement.
等贵族唯唯诺诺地退下去后,罗兰也离开了殿堂,带着夜莺朝地下室走去。Was the timeseesownthat„blood elder brother”, hethinks.
是时候去见一见自己的那位“亲哥哥”了,他想。
