Rhodes accepts the request of John, pours is not considered as that the action of any overstepping, just like he said, he besides is Mercenary Guild Guild Leader, but also has the title of Knight. But this time he brings can be said as guild mercenary to the Clouds and Mist Summit Fortress army, can be said as his private army. But by the Rhodes' status, he has the right to process own captive according to regulation. Therefore Rhodes will readily agree the John condition, puts these cavalries to leave. But in fact, he even also has the authority to put General Dade to walk, after all strict, General Dade is also his captive. 罗德答应约翰的要求,倒也不算是什么逾越之举,正如他所说,他除了是佣兵公会的会长之外,还有着爵士的爵位。而这一次他带到云雾之巅要塞的部队可以说是公会的佣兵,也可以说是他自己的私军。而以罗德的身份地位,按照规定他是有权利处理自己的俘虏的。所以罗德才会一口答应约翰的条件,放那些骑兵离开。而事实上,他甚至还有权力放戴德将军走,毕竟严格来说,戴德将军也是他的俘虏。 However John and Rhodes know that this is impossible. The status of General Dade was doomed he is not bleeds off easily, soldier in private can be given up, but a general, was impossible to bleed off absolutely. Why this is John intentionally will also propose that reason of this request, he is to test Rhodes, has a look at his response. If Rhodes can readily agree, the expression that or puts on airs is difficult, because own love heart is willing to try hard to try, then John definitely meets not to return turns around to leave. However now, he plans to accept the invitation of opposite party. 不过约翰和罗德都知道这是不可能的。戴德将军的身份就注定了他不是那么容易被放走的,私下的士兵可以被放弃,但是一个将军,是绝对不可能被放走的。这也是为什么约翰会故意提出这个要求的原因,他就是想要考验罗德,看看他的反应。如果罗德能够一口答应下来,或者装模作样的表示非常困难,但是因为自己的爱才之心愿意努力一试的话,那么约翰肯定会头也不回的转身离开。不过现在,他打算接受对方的邀请。 As for John oneself, John and Rhodes did not think that has anything at the worst, attacks the commander of cavalry squad, does not deserve consideration, Royal Family impossible, because he accepts surrendered soldier him to be so what kind . But John is very bad regarding the impression of northerner, is he impression to the southerner is also actually poor, both sides are the same, „rank enemy but who good and evil his majority of hatred centralized in a handful at bay resists stubbornly” the body, has not expanded to one dozen of big situations. Like Rhodes, how that is not to see that Kingdom of Light is reprehensible, Kingdom of Light stands to come him to think that casually personally the opposite party does not have from head to foot does not have the problem place ............ 而至于约翰本人,约翰和罗德都不觉得有什么大不了的,一个突击骑兵小队的指挥官,根本没什么值得重视的,王室不可能因为他收下这么一个降兵就把他怎么样。而约翰虽然对于北方人的印象很差,可是他对南方人的印象其实也不怎么好,双方半斤八两,不过好歹他的大部分仇恨还是集中在“一小撮负偶顽抗的阶级敌人”的身上,没有扩展到一打一大片的地步。不像罗德,那是怎么看光之国都看不顺眼,光之国随便站出个人来他就觉得对方从头到脚没一点没毛病的地方………… Naturally, how John said that is also only „family/home hates.” But Rhodes is „enemy of the nation” ......... Hatred level of both sides also has the difference. 当然,约翰怎么说也只是“家恨。”而罗德则是“国仇”………双方的仇恨等级也还是有区别的。 After gazing after John departs, Rhodes let out a long sigh, he thought suddenly oneself are very exhausted. 在目送约翰离去之后,罗德长长的出了口气,他忽然觉得自己很疲惫。 This is not exhausted on physical body, but is spiritually, until this time, determined that own quest has completed, Rhodes thought suddenly an own spiritual probably originally tight string suddenly loosened, changes soft, his abnormal is exhausted, a heaviness, the heavy pressure of not gasping for breath appears —— this to let Rhodes brows can't help wrinkling from deep in his heart slowly, he goes out of the tent/account camp, looks to all around. 这并不是肉体上的疲惫,而是精神上的,直到这个时候,确定自己的任务都已经完成,罗德忽然觉得自己的精神就好像一根原本绷紧的弦忽然松开了似的,变的软绵绵的,他感觉异常疲惫,一种沉重,喘不过气来的重压缓缓从他的内心深处浮现——这让罗德不由的皱了下眉头,他走出帐营,望向四周。 In Fortress brilliantly illuminated, the pale bo mist flutters in Fortress all around, not far away vaguely can hear the soldiers cheers gloomily, the weather already, calculates the time, almost should be celebratory banquet should start ......... However present Rhodes, has not actually gone to participate in the celebratory banquet mood, on the contrary, he wants the putting bed on well now, sleeps to relax. 要塞内一片灯火辉煌,淡bo的雾气在要塞的四周飘荡,不远处依稀可以听见士兵们欢呼声,天色已经暗淡了下来,算算时间,差不多该是庆功宴该开始的时候了………不过现在的罗德,却一点儿都没有去参加庆功宴的心情,相反,他现在只是想要好好的扑在床上,睡上一觉来放松放松。 „, Captain, finally found you!” “啊,团长,终于找到你了！” But in Rhodes has turned around to plan to return to the tent, suddenly hears the Vivian form to transmit from behind, he turns the head, sees only fox-eared young girl and Anne is walking toward himself, in the surface of two people are having the relaxed happy smiling face obviously, arrived at at Rhodes' side, then a Vivian quickly probably fish slid, then stretches out both hands, grasped the Rhodes' arm. Rhodes even can feel that two groups of soft existences very compact has gone against. But sees the Vivian movement, nearby Anne naturally also refuses to admit being inferior, from another side closely has pasted, has held in the arms Rhodes' another arm. Two people like this like clamping the sandwich clamp Rhodes in the middle. 而就在罗德转过身打算回到帐篷中之时,忽然听见七恋的身影从后面传来,他转过头来,只见狐耳少女和安妮正向着自己走来,两个人的面上明显带着轻松愉快的笑容,来到了罗德的身边,接着七恋很快就好像一条鱼般的滑了过去,然后伸出双手,抱住了罗德的胳膊。罗德甚至可以感觉到那两团柔软的存在非常紧凑的顶了上来。而看见七恋的动作,旁边的安妮自然也是不甘示弱,从另外一侧紧紧的贴了上去,一把搂住了罗德的另外一只胳膊。两个人就这样像夹三明治一样把罗德夹在中间。 „Everybody attended the banquet, your person dull here, General Garcia was wanting how also to invite you to attend the banquet.” “大家都去参加宴会了哦,你怎么还一个人呆在这里,加西亚将军正想要邀请你去参加宴会呢。” „You go.” “你们去吧。” Facing the performance of Vivian, Rhodes actually obviously somewhat could not raise the spirit, he shook the head, shakes off two people fetter, then to retreat one step, this reluctantly twitch corners of the mouth, to Vivian and Anne nodded. Then Rhodes puts out a hand, has patted their heads gently. 面对七恋的表现,罗德却显的有些提不起精神来,他摇了摇头,挣脱开了两人的束缚,接着向后退了一步,这才勉强抽动嘴角,对七恋和安妮点了点头。接着罗德伸出手去,轻轻拍了拍她们的头。 „I am somewhat tired, plan to rest well, this banquet was responsible for replacing me to participate by you.” “我有些累,打算好好休息一下,这次宴会就由你们负责代替我参加好了。” „Master?” “主人？” Sees Rhodes' the rejection reaction, Vivian can't help staring. But Anne hurriedly jumped, raises own right hand high. 看见罗德的拒绝反应,七恋不由一愣。而安妮则急忙跳了出来,高高举起自己的右手。 „Then makes Anne accompany Captain, since Captain is very tired, wants Anne to accompany the Captain rest?” “那么就让安妮来陪团长吧,团长既然很累,要不要安妮来陪团长休息？” „Little Anne, you cannot snatch my position, is the warm bed my work?” “小安妮,你可不能抢我的位置,暖床可是一直都是我的工作哦？” „Anne also wants to help the Captain warm bed, at the worst two people together .........” “安妮也想要帮团长暖床,大不了两个人一起嘛………” „Good.” “好了好了。” Hears quarrels between two young girls, Rhodes can't help but thought that some big, he frowned shook the head afterward. 听到两个少女之间的争吵,罗德不由觉得有些头大,他皱起眉头随后摇了摇头。 „Today I do not have the mood, you attend the banquet, good amusing noisy, after this we also to go to Frozen Lake after all, before then relaxes, relaxes. Do not manage me, what should make to make what, this is the order, understood?” “今天我是没心情,你们去参加宴会吧,好好玩闹一番,毕竟在这之后我们还要去冰封之湖,在这之前散散心,放松一下。就不要管我了,该做什么就去做什么,这是命令,明白了吗？” Said here, Rhodes brows wrinkled, he directly has then turned around, such returned to the tent. However this time, Vivian and Anne actually unusual has not continued to pester, on the contrary, their eyes open wide gazes at the Rhodes' back to vanish after the tent, is actually unusual remained silent. A moment later, Anne blinked, somewhat worried has then turned the head to look to nearby Vivian. 说道这里,罗德皱了下眉头,接着他直接转过身,就这么回到了帐篷之中。但是这一次,七恋和安妮却反常的并没有继续去纠缠,相反,她们睁大眼睛注视着罗德的背影消失在帐篷之中后,却是异样的保持了沉默。片刻之后,安妮这才眨了眨眼睛,有些担心转过头去望向旁边的七恋。 „Anne thought, Captain is very probably exhausted, had an accident? Elder Sister Vivian?” “安妮觉得,团长好像很疲惫,是出了什么事吗？七恋姐姐？” „............... Not anything, Anne.” “……………没什么,安妮。” Facing the inquiry of Anne, Vivian has rotated the ear, then she turned head, is looking at young girl, has revealed a helpless forced smile. 面对安妮的询问,七恋则是转动了一下耳朵,接着她回过头来,望着自己身边的少女,露出了一丝无奈的苦笑。 „Some matters are Master make the decision, therefore he can only withstand, we also can only look in side, something, cannot change depending on us.” “有些事情是主人自己做出决定的,所以他只能够自己去承受,我们也只能够在旁边看着,有些事情,光凭我们是改变不了的。” Jet black, dark earth infinite extends. 漆黑,幽暗的大地无限的延伸开去。 In the sky is the dim gloomy cloud layer, Rhodes looks all around everywhere, is actually anything cannot see, on this stretch of earth does not have the flowers and plants trees, even the alone stone cannot see continually together, all, is only the vast earth, he does not even know how long oneself walked here, as if since he has the consciousness to start, oneself have gone forward on this stretch of murky earth, without direction, aimless walks ——— on this stretch of earth, but on at this moment, red flame flat land but. 天空上到处都是昏暗阴沉的云层,罗德环顾四周,却是什么也看不见,这片大地上没有花草树木,甚至连一块孤零零的石头都看不见,所有的,只是一望无际的大地,他甚至不知道自己在这里走了多久,仿佛自从他有意识开始,自己就一直在这片昏昏沉沉的大地上前进,没有方向,漫无目的的在这片大地上行走———而就在此刻,红色的火焰平地而起。 The flame from burns in all directions turbulently, the bright red is shining upon the entire world, but along with the flame of combustion, the darkness on earth is even more deep, finally, the originally thick/heavy solid ground glass seems to be shatter, displaces, is bottomless Abyss, until ............... 火焰从四面八方汹涌燃烧,鲜明的红色映照着整个世界,而伴随着燃烧的火焰,大地上的黑暗越发深沉,最终,原本hou重结实的地面仿佛玻璃般破碎,取而代之的,则是无底的深渊,直到…………… „——— —!!” “————！！” Rhodes fierce sits to set out. 罗德猛的坐起身来。 Outside the tent/account camp is a piece of sunlight is at this moment bright, Rhodes eyes narrowed, crosses some little time adapted to present luminous. The golden sunlight injects from the slit of tent, vaguely can also hear outside mercenaries loud noise, Rhodes to sit to set out, puts out a hand to resist the forehead, this discovers on the forehead cold sweat. 帐营外此刻已经是一片阳光灿烂,罗德眯起眼睛,过了好一会儿才适应了眼前的光亮。金色的阳光从帐篷的缝隙之中射入,依稀还可以听见外面佣兵们的喧闹声,罗德坐起身来,伸出手去抵住额头,这才发现额头上一片冷汗。 „Really is bored.” “真是无聊。” Rhodes lowered the head, coldly cursed one. 罗德低下头去,冷冷的咒骂了一声。 If who came to see the Rhodes' words at this time, will then certainly eat one in great surprise, because of this time Rhodes, absolutely did not have normally to be calm, faint expression, did not have him when that enthusiasm of Feyate camouflaging, temperate smiling face. Displacing is the naked bare paleness, this is a very complex expression, it has almost gathered all negative mood, its complex degree is unable very good described with the language, even in this split second, flashed before being clear from the Rhodes' eye, vicious, just like being injured wild beast danger cold brilliance. 如果有谁在这个时候进来看见罗德的话,那么一定会吃一大惊,因为这个时候的罗德,完全没有了平日冷静,淡漠的表情,也没有了他在菲亚特时伪装的那副热情,温和的笑容。取而代之的则是赤luo裸的铁青,这是一种非常复杂的表情,它几乎集合了所有的负面情绪,其复杂程度根本无法很好的用语言来形容,甚至在这一瞬间,从罗德的眼中闪现出了明确,凶狠,宛如受伤野兽般危险的寒冷光辉。 However, this expression only appeared has flickered thoroughly vanishes. 但是,这个表情只出现了一瞬就彻底消失。 When Rhodes stands up once more, the expression in his surface fully restored the calmness and faintness in normally, even does not have the slight mighty waves in his look, as if a moment ago that moment exposed, but the misconception, that is BUG that some program error creates is the same. 当罗德再次站起身来时,他面上的表情已经完全恢复了平日里的冷静与淡漠,甚至在他的眼神里也没有丝毫的波澜,仿佛刚才那一瞬间所暴露出来的,只不过错觉,或者,那不过是某种程序错误所造成的bug一样。 But at this time, outside tent, the Leiya's sound actually suddenly resounded. 而就在这个时候,在帐篷外,莉洁的声音却是忽然响起。 „Mr. Rhodes, did you awake?” “罗德先生,你已经醒了吗？” „Un, I got up.” “嗯,我起来了。” Hears Leiya's to inquire, Rhodes changed the clothes rapidly, then before he arrived at the tent gate, has raised battalion curtain, then Rhodes then saw Leiya to stand there, somewhat worried was looking at him. 听到莉洁的询问,罗德迅速换好了衣服,接着他来到帐篷门前,掀起了营帘,接着罗德便看见莉洁正站在那里,有些担心的望着他。 „What matter has? Leiya?” “有什么事？莉洁？” „, Is this, Mr. Rhodes. Miss Gaya wants you to see her, said that has very important matter to inform you.” “啊,是这样的,罗德先生。伽翎小姐要你去见她,说是有非常重要的事情要通知你。” „Gaya?” “伽翎？” Hears this name, Rhodes gawked, then he nods, indicated oneself knew. 听到这个名字,罗德愣了一愣,接着他点点头,表示自己知道了。 „I knew, Leiya, I go immediately. Right, I think that you know the John matter, I want you and Vivian today am responsible for the release questions suggests of these soldier. Does not have the issue.” “我知道了,莉洁,我马上就去。对了,我想你已经知道约翰的事情了,今天我要你和七恋去负责把那些士兵的释放问题处理掉。没问题吧。” „Yes, Mr. Rhodes, I will process immediately.” “是,罗德先生,我马上会去处理。” Although mouth was responding to the Rhodes' order, but Leiya immediately has not actually moved, on the contrary, her two hands continuously was rubbing the lower hem corner, having the vision of worry to look at Rhodes. Then, the young girl seemed under has decided any determination, took a deep breath, this somewhat restless toward Rhodes asked. 虽然口里回应着罗德的命令,不过莉洁却并没有立刻行动,相反,她两只手不住的揉搓着衣角,带着担心的目光望着罗德。接着,少女似乎是下定了什么决心似的,深深呼吸了一口气,这才有些不安的向着罗德开口询问道。 „Mr. Rhodes ............ may I ask, where do you have are uncomfortable? Yesterday evening banquet you have not participated, moreover listened to Anne saying that you somewhat seemed to be exhausted .........” “罗德先生…………请问,你有什么地方不舒服吗？昨天晚上的宴会你没有参加,而且听安妮说你似乎有些疲惫………” „Is only because the reason of journey is a little tired, returns to here from the south is not a very short distance, but rested to be good, you did not need to be worried.” “只是因为旅途的原因有点累而已,从南方回到这里可不是一段很短的路程,不过休息一下就好了,你不用担心。” Worried facing Leiya's, Rhodes shrugs the shoulders, then rapidly has given the reply. But hears his answer, Leiya is silent for a moment, this nodded continued: „Good, Mr. Rhodes. However ......... If your has anything not to be healthy, but also please tell me.” 面对莉洁的担忧,罗德则耸耸肩膀,接着迅速给出了回答。而听见他的答案,莉洁则是沉默了片刻,这才点了点头继续说道:“好的,罗德先生。不过………如果你身体有什么不舒服的话,还请告诉我。” „Relax, Leiya, if I have any issue, certain earliest possible time told you.” “放心吧,莉洁,如果我有什么问题,一定第一时间告诉你。” Hears Rhodes these words, Leiya then shows the expression that has felt relieved, she smiled toward Rhodes, afterward turns around to leave. But until this time, Rhodes let out a long sigh, afterward his eyes narrowed, was looking at not far away Fortress ——— in fact, he guessed that what matter Gaya looked for his behavior. 听到罗德这句话,莉洁这才露出了放心的表情,她向着罗德笑了笑,随后转身离开。而直到这个时候,罗德才长叹了口气,随后他眯起眼睛,望着不远处的要塞———事实上,他已经猜测到伽翎找他所为何事了。 When Rhodes enters in Fortress the Gaya room, this black hair young girl with their first time meets to be the same, peaceful sitting near the window, that giant harp like this places her body side. Even and did not have the slight change including the expression and movement of young girl at that time, seeing Rhodes to enter the room, Gaya has first turned the head, to his slightly nodded, hints him to sit down ......... Can look, Gaya is not very happy. 当罗德走进要塞里伽翎的房间时,这位黑发少女就和他们第一次见面一样,安静的坐在窗边,那巨大的竖琴就这样放在她的身侧。甚至连少女的表情和动作都和当时没有丝毫的变化,看见罗德走进房间,伽翎首先转过头去,冲他微点了点,示意他坐下………看得出来,伽翎的心情可不算很好。 However Rhodes also understands why the Gaya mood can miss, although he did not understand this Court Musician very much, but can also infer her is not „Lei Feng.” Only if receives Lydia order otherwise her is absolutely will not move. To let Leiya's plans to be able the complete success, Rhodes then intentionally challenged her army ——— he to force Lydia ordering to make Gaya with own Quest Reward coordinate the Leiya's operation plan, no wonder this young lady at this moment was being a little good complexion not to Rhodes. 不过罗德也明白为什么伽翎的心情会差,他虽然对于这位宫廷乐师不是很了解,不过也能够推断出她不是个“活雷锋。”除非收到莉蒂亚的命令否则的话她是绝对不会行动的。而为了让莉洁的计划能够圆满成功,罗德这才故意将了她一军———他用自己的任务奖励强迫莉蒂亚下命令让伽翎配合莉洁的作战计划,也难怪这位小姐此刻对着罗德是一点儿好脸色都没有。 Although has any good complexion from from the beginning also not necessarily her to Rhodes and that's the end. 虽然从一开始的时候也不见得她对罗德有过什么好脸色就是了。 „Please sit down, Mr. Rhodes, this time you successfully have completed quest, Your Highness is satisfied regarding you. Although to me, I not very that cheap trick that likes you playing with and that's the end.” “请坐,罗德先生,这一次你圆满的完成了任务,殿下对于你非常满意。虽然就我个人而言,我并不是很喜欢你玩弄的那个小把戏就是了。” The Gaya peaceful and calm gaze Rhodes, from the semblance, could not be seeing completely she has any idea regarding Rhodes. However Rhodes is not worried about these, the matter that he most is worried about only then, Gaya asked him to come here, for oneself that small plot did not complain most likely was so simple. Really, in Rhodes pondered, Gaya continues to say. 伽翎安静而沉稳的注视着罗德,从外表上来看,完全看不出她对于罗德有什么想法。不过罗德也不担心这些,他最担心的事情只有一件,伽翎叫他来到这里,十有八九不是为了自己那点小阴谋来抱怨这么简单。果然,就在罗德思考之时,伽翎继续开口说了下去。 „Then I transmit, is the order of Your Highness Lydia, she hopes that you can return to Golden City, these time in Grosseau and Feyate Area quest, makes further explanation showing.” “接下来我所传达的,则是莉蒂亚殿下的命令,她希望你能够回到黄金城,就这一次在格罗索和菲亚特地区的任务,做出进一步的解释说明。” Really so. 果然如此。 Hears the speech of Gaya, the Rhodes innermost feelings sinks, looks like, such ——— Your Highness Lydia that just like the matter imagine is expected obviously oneself made to explain then the Undead Legion chaotic incident of Grosseau area. In any event, oneself receive quest to go to the Grosseau area, then there suddenly presented the undead disturbance, Lydia is not a fool, she naturally can request itself to report to her personally. 听到伽翎的说话,罗德内心微沉,看起来,事情正如自己所想象的那样———莉蒂亚殿下显然是期望自己就格罗索地区的亡灵军团骚乱事件做出解释了。无论如何,自己接下任务前往格罗索地区,接着那里就忽然出现了亡灵骚乱,莉蒂亚又不是傻蛋,她自然会要求自己亲自向她汇报。 This time, the matter became somewhat will possibly trouble. But Lydia Seated Archangel, is not human. If human for various reasons will also choose to be accommodating, then regarding Angel, they will not choose this being accommodating every so often. Regarding them, the wickedness is wicked, they can be purified, was eliminated, but cannot be indulged. But this time, Lydia summoned itself to go to Golden City, but was not only simple was written a report to pass on by oneself, this explained that before Lydia manner regarding this, was obviously different. 这一次,事情可能会变得有些麻烦了。莉蒂亚可是座天使长,并不是人类。如果说人类还会因为种种原因选择变通,那么对于天使来说,很多时候她们是不会选择这种变通的。对于她们来说,恶就是恶,它们可以被净化,被消灭,但是不能够被放纵。而这一次,莉蒂亚召唤自己前往黄金城,而并非只是简简单单的让自己写一份汇报传回去,这就已经说明,莉蒂亚对此的态度和之前明显不同。 However, regarding this, Rhodes does not have the countermeasure.(( To be continued 但是,对此,罗德也并非没有对策。(（未完待续
