Two days later. 两天后。 Shining Light City royal palace. 辉光城王宫。 „Today starts? Can't you treat time period here?” Hofford is looking at Andrea that comes to say good-bye before leaving, in the heart with complex feelings, „Otto they will not hope just to meet with you must leave.” “今天启程？你不能在这里多待阵子吗？”霍弗德望着前来辞行的安德莉亚,心中五味杂陈,“奥托他们也不会希望刚和你见面就要离别吧。” „I left Neverwinter to be very long, some that side people were also waiting for me.” The Andrea frank said that „when now is the new and old royal power alternately, they as the family successor, should not place the banquet with again on playing the time. Since is the friend, one time meets was then enough.” “我离开无冬已经很久了,那边还有人在等着我。”安德莉亚坦言道,“而且如今又是新旧王权交替之际,他们作为家族继承者,不应该再把时间放在宴会与游玩上。既然是朋友,一次见面便已足够。” She truly before was different, Earl thought. 她确实和以前不同了,伯爵心想。 She grew. 她成长了。 „About then with Greycastle that side negotiations...... What do you have to suggest?” The Hofford hesitation moment, „I want to listen to your idea, this to policy-making very important of family.” “关于接下来和灰堡那边的谈判……你有什么建议吗？”霍弗德沉吟片刻,“我想听听你的想法,这对家族的决策很重要。” „Government affairs I understand many-- in Neverwinter City, is responsible for processing these people are not noble, but through test freemen. If you want to inquire the details, looks for Hill Fawkes more appropriate, he continuously and Western Region has the more or less relation.” Andrea paused, „, if wanted me saying that that do not violate with the Anpei same mistake.” “政务方面我了解得不多——在无冬城,负责处理这些的人并非贵族,而是通过考试的自由民。你若想打听详情,找希尔.福克斯会更合适,他一直都和西境有着或多或少的联系。”安德莉亚顿了顿,“如果一定要我说的话,那就是不要犯和安佩因一样的错误。” Hofford has smiled bitterly, „, if had witnessed after the strength that Roland Wimbledon has also dares to continue to oppose with Greycastle, that with stupid cannot describe simply.” 霍弗德苦笑了下,“若是目睹过罗兰.温布顿所拥有的力量后还敢和灰堡继续作对,那简直用愚蠢都不能形容了。” „Not is only the strength......” Andrea shakes the head, „forthcoming War of Divine Will concerns the entire human race the destiny, at this time will fight will only accelerate our demise-- Greycastle or Dawn, are unable to save in the catastrophe alone, such being the case, how the family can get the biggest interests, you were certainly clearer than me.” “不光是力量……”安德莉亚摇摇头,“即将到来的神意之战关乎到全人类的命运,这时候内斗只会加速我们的灭亡——无论是灰堡还是晨曦,都无法在浩劫中独存,既然如此,家族怎样才能获得最大的利益,你一定比我更清楚。” „Continues is the maximum benefit.” Hofford understood the meaning in daughter words quickly. “延续下去就是最大利益。”霍弗德很快明白了女儿话里的意思。 „However the hope that continues, then falls on the body of Your Majesty Roland at present.” She lets go saying that „, therefore controls the good Dawn order, stands this side Greycastle firmly, to pass War of Divine Will worked as one, was the only suggestion that I can give.” “而延续的希望,目前便落在罗兰陛下的身上。”她摊手道,“所以掌控好晨曦的秩序,坚定地站在灰堡这一边,为度过神意之战而齐心协力,便是我能给出的唯一建议。” Quinn Earl nodded slowly, „...... I knew.” 奎因伯爵缓缓点了点头,“……我知道了。” In Andrea turns around, he could not help and stopped by calling out her. 就在安德莉亚转身之际,他情不自禁又叫住了她。 „I......” “我……” „You do not need to see off, the matter that later must be busy at also has. You do not need to worry that my security, God Punishment Witches will return to Neverwinter with me together.” She leans the face to say. “你无需送行,之后要忙的事还有很多。你也不用担心我的安全,神罚女巫会同我一道返回无冬。”她侧着脸说道。 „No, what I want to say is...... Sorry, daughter.” After these words say, Hofford felt immediately oneself were older, but in heart also relaxed many. In fact he wants to pour out also has, for example the past years delivered her to leave truly for the family, cannot say that completely has not protected her meaning in inside \; Also for example he regretted that had not discussed with the wife this beforehand, if all can come again, he also will not necessarily do according to the so crude method \; As well as hears her also to live from Otto there, when crosses the good news, the heart surges joyful...... “不,我想说的是……抱歉,女儿。”当这句话说出口后,霍弗德顿时感到自己老了许多,但心中亦轻松了不少。事实上他想要倾吐的还有许多,比如当年送她离开确实是为了家族,可不能说完全没有保护她的意味在里面\;又比如他后悔没有将这件事先和夫人商量,如果一切能重来的话,他不一定还会按如此粗暴的方法来做\;以及从奥托那里听到她还活着,并过得不错的消息时,心头涌动的喜悦…… Quinn Earl is clearer, injury occurred, even if these words said that fell also shirks or the refined language of making up in the opposite party ear. This is the price of choice, Andrea now grew to today's this situation, he cannot display too awful is. 只是奎因伯爵更清楚,伤害已经发生,那些话即使说出来,落在对方耳中也不过是推卸或弥补之辞。这便是选择的代价,安德莉亚如今已成长到今天这个地步,他也不能表现得太糟糕才是。 After saying, old Earl has closed the eye. 说完后,老伯爵闭上了眼睛。 „Yeah...... I walked.” “嗯……那我走了。” Daughter's sound of footsteps goes far away gradually, finally vanishes in the ear bank. Although he has not heard the father in that anticipation, but similarly, in the opposite party tone did not have several days ago ice-cold. At least this time, she does not have to call his Sir Earl again. 女儿的脚步声渐渐远去,最后消失在耳畔。尽管他没有听到那句期待中的父亲,但同样的,对方语气中也没了几天前的冰冷。至少这一次,她没有再叫他伯爵大人。 Is so good, he thought, this is only the temporary separation, later will have the reunion finally time. 如此就好,他心想,这只是暂别,以后终会有重逢的时候。 The time already can make one put behind, can smooth the grief. 时间既可以令人忘却,也能够抚平伤痛。 Ten years ago choices make him lose. 十年前的选择让他失去许多。 But Hofford Quinn planned that with similar time, corrects this mistake. 而霍弗德.奎因打算用同样的时间,去纠正这段错误。 ******************* ******************* After leaving the whitecap bay, the ships then entered the sea. 离开白浪湾后,船只便进入了大海。 Anpei puts down the map in hand, looks to the porthole. 安佩因放下手中的地图,望向舷窗外。 This route goes to one of the Wolf Heart wave light port main trade routes, merchant who once for a while can see the intercourse. Occasionally also will have the boat of fisherman to close up, peddles some fresh fish and fruits and vegetables. 这条航线是前往狼心波光港的主要商路之一,时不时能看到往来的商船。偶尔还会有渔民的小船靠拢过来,兜售一些新鲜的鱼肉和蔬果。 If he is King, goes should hang the three mast sea boats of prince flag around him, wants to eat fresh food, naturally has the maidservant to deliver is. 倘若他还是国王的话,行驶在他周围的本应该是挂着王家旗帜的三桅海船,想吃新鲜的食物,自然有侍女送上才是。 All blame that crowd of damn traitor! 一切都怪那群该死的叛徒！ From was caught up with the throne almost to have one week of time to today, this days he is constantly not thinking must draw this regulation. Even if no means with King of Greycastle, at least cannot make 3 Great Families lie down in comfortably belonging to his city, enjoys great accomplishment that plots a rebellion. 从被赶下王位到今天差不多已有一周的时间,这段日子他无时无刻不在想着要扳回这一程。就算拿灰堡之王没办法,至少不能让三大家族舒舒服服躺在属于他的城市上,享受谋反的硕果。 After considered over and over, Anpei has selected his first foothold-- Kingdom of Wolf Heart thousand blade forts finally. There is sticking to the Dawn border, hearsay its feudal lord and Dawn noble has the blood relationship, should not be unkind to the Moore family. What is most essential, two place noble exchanges are really dense, if some people want to use his status to make anything, can contact with on him easily. 经过再三考虑,安佩因总算选出了他的首个落脚点——狼心王国的千刃堡。那里紧贴着晨曦边境,传闻其领主又和晨曦贵族有着血缘关系,理应不会对摩亚家族太刻薄。最关键的是,两地贵族交流甚密,如果有人想要利用他的身份做些什么,可以轻而易举联系上他。 Before do not look at these feudal lord is ready to make trouble, in the final analysis for the benefit, now he no longer is the Shining Light City ruler, naturally did not have the foundation of conflict. 别看那些领主之前蠢蠢欲动,归根到底都是为了利益,现在他已不再是辉光城的统治者,自然就没了冲突的基础。 Moreover, his blood relationship instead can become they grips takes the new benefit the tool. 不仅如此,他的血统反而能成为他们攥取新利益的工具。 In order to retaliate, Anpei decides under temporary grievance oneself, when the conditions are ripe, will despise his person to will certainly taste the bitter fruit! 为了报复,安佩因决定暂时委屈下自己,等到时机成熟,轻视他的人必将尝到苦果！ Thinks of here, he felt that the innermost feelings have buoyed up much, the belly also has transmitted simultaneously a sense of hunger. 想到这里,他感到内心振作了不少,同时肚子也传来了一阵饥饿感。 First ate a fruit to be good, once left coast of Dawn the boundary, this route will be lonelier, moreover he also heard the fishing boat to meet the side a moment ago the sound. 先吃点水果好了,一旦离开晨曦沿海地界,这条航线将会冷清许多,而且刚才他还听到了渔船接舷的声音。 String-- before Anpei shaking table it is connecting the bell outside room, so long as a sound, the maidservant accordingly will then enter. 安佩因摇动桌前的细绳——它连接着屋外的铃铛,只要一响,侍女便会应声而入。 However outside this time did not respond. 然而这次外面却毫无反应。 His brow wrinkled immediately. 他的眉头立刻皱了起来。 Went down in the world to maidservants dares to be loaf to be perfunctory? In a flash, in his heart then got up has killed intent. 难道自己落魄到一个侍女都敢偷懒敷衍了？转瞬之间,他心中便起了杀意。 Also good, if is really her negligence, sets the example of warning to be also good with her. In the accompanying team except the members of Moore family with Knight that outside pledging to fight to the death to give loyalty, other people indeed more and more did not have the appearance. 也好,若真是她的疏忽,拿她做个警告的榜样也不错。随行队伍里除开摩亚家族的成员与誓死效忠的骑士外,其他人的确越来越没有样子了。 He must these to know, even if on a ship, so long as there are him, that should with the royal palace not different. 他要让那些人知道,即使在一艘船上,只要有他在,那就应该跟王宫无异。 Anpei sets out to go out of the room, in the discovery corridor a person does not have, incessantly is the maidservant, the sailor, guard and slave...... All disappearing trace. In the cabin is much more static, only the remaining sea water whips the rustling sound of hull. 安佩因起身走出房间,却发现过道里一个人都没有,不止是侍女,水手、卫兵、奴隶……全都不见了踪影。舱室里静得可怕,只剩下海水拍打船体的沙沙声。 Fine body hair that he carries on the back immediately erectness-- 他背上的寒毛顿时根根直立—— Here some do not suit! 这里有些不对劲！ Did he get rid? No...... Certainly impossible, even if the mercenary soldier and retinue want to abandon him to go, guard Knight that the family trains certainly will also stand to prevent them, when both sides disputed was insufficient a sound not to have! 难道他被抛弃了？不……绝不可能,就算佣兵和仆从想弃他而去,家族培养的近卫骑士也一定会站出来阻止他们,双方争执时不至于一点声音都没有！ The Anpei preparation the ladder say/way that lies from the wei poster crawls to the deck in has a look, there should have the sailor to be right in any event. May just turn around, he then noticed that a bloodstained the short-sword arrived on oneself neck. 安佩因准备从艉楼主卧的梯道爬到甲板上看看,那里无论如何都应该有水手在才对。可刚转过身,他便看到一把血迹斑斑的短剑抵在了自己脖子上。 Holds sword is an ugly incomparable female, the eye actually shines is similar to stars. 持剑者是一名丑陋无比的女子,眼睛却亮得如同一颗星辰。 She is not the person on ship, Anpei realized immediately, person who so has the characteristics, in his mind impossible does not have impression. 她不是船上的人,安佩因立刻意识到,如此有特点的人,他脑海中不可能毫无印象。 Is raider who outside comes! 是外面来的袭击者！ „Who do you are send? You know that you are making anything, outcastes! I am Lord of Dawn,-- of Moore family” “你是谁派来的？你知道自己在做什么吗,贱民！我是晨曦之主,摩亚家族的——” The sound stops suddenly. 声音戛然而止。 He discovered that the air current is unable to exhale through the mouth again, the blood of spout has stopped up his throat. The tear stabbing pain has extended the chest from neck, swept across the cool feeling of whole body to take away his all strengths. 他发现气流再也无法通过口腔呼出,喷涌的血液已经堵塞了他的喉管。撕裂般的刺痛一直从脖子延伸到胸口,席卷全身的凉意夺去了他的所有力量。 When drops down, he only hears top of the head to transmit careless whispering. 倒下时,他只听到头顶传来一句漫不经心的低语。 "Oh, that is also a mortal. ” “哦,那也不过是一名凡人罢了。”
