The Countess Illya mansion was more luxurious than the past a point, looks like the recent caravan earns money is really many . Moreover the convoy guard also increased compared with the past. In the mansion Southern Region face are quite many, then has accounted for many proportions from southern Highlander, it is estimated that was the past experience makes her very difficult to believe the Northern Region native. 萨顿老伯爵感兴趣的是如何稳固自己的统治,如何平稳过渡的把权力传承给自己的子嗣,而很少考虑去如何发展文明,基本上这个时代的统治者都是如此。伊莉雅伯爵夫人的府邸比过去更豪华了一点,看起来最近商队赚得钱是真不少,而且护卫队也比过去增加了很多。府邸里面的南境面孔比较多,然后来自南方的高地人占了不少的比例,估计是过去的经历让她很难相信北境的本地人。 „Teacher.” Young Lady Fran puts on pure white princess skirt picked up her skirt and slightly curtsied. “老师。”芙兰小姐穿着一袭纯白色的公主裙微微捻起裙角行礼。 spirit power of little girl in growth with stability. 小姑娘的精神力在稳步增长。 Gets down according to such progress, she can become Level 1 Mage apprentice probably next year, at her current age, this is a very extraordinary matter. 按照这样的进度下去,大概明年她就能够成为一级巫师学徒,以她当前的年纪来说,这是件很了不起的事情。 „Your Excellency Steven.” After Countess Illya sees him, expression pleasantly surprised say/way. “史蒂芬阁下。”伊莉雅伯爵夫人看到他后表情惊喜道。 Steven greeted with a slight nod, then bent down to hold Young Lady Fran on own knee, was explaining her doubts in a low voice. Basically comes back her to have many issues each time, Steven cannot always stay here, therefore one time explains. 史蒂芬微微点头示意,然后俯身将芙兰小姐抱在了自己的膝盖上,低声解答着她的疑惑。基本上每次回来她都有很多问题,史蒂芬也不能老留在这里,所以都是一次性解答完。 Night. 夜深。 After replying the doubts of Young Lady Fran, Countess Illya arrived at his room once again. 在回答完芙兰小姐的疑惑后,伊莉雅伯爵夫人再度来到了他的房间。 Steven helped her get the physical exam as usual, the progress that the dragon vein stimulated was not quick, does not know that was the innate skill reason, Countess Illya was urged the potential of sending to have the upper limit to exist by Steven. 史蒂芬照旧帮她检查了一下身体,龙脉激发的进度并不快,也不知道是天赋原因,还是伊莉雅伯爵夫人是被史蒂芬催发出来的潜能有上限存在。 „Was OK.” Steven patted the buttocks of Countess Illya to hint her to wear the clothes. “可以了。”史蒂芬拍了拍伊莉雅伯爵夫人的屁股示意她穿上衣服。 When does not know. 不知道何时。 The back of Countess Illya had two blowing up slightly, touches probably is the cartilage is the same, this is Dragonwing Bone that grows gradually, finally will turn into pair of spacious dragon wing(s), looking at the color can come out to stimulate the bloodlines of any Dragon respectively. 伊莉雅伯爵夫人的背部已经有两处微微的鼓起,摸起来就好像是软骨一样,这是逐渐发育的龙翼骨,最终会变成一对宽大的龙翼,看颜色可以分别出来是激发了什么巨龙的血脉。 As the dragon vein was stimulated, Countess Illya even more face glowing with health. 随着龙脉被激发出来,伊莉雅伯爵夫人越发容光焕发。 She feels every day energetic, a sword technique practices actually decent. 她现在每天都感到精力充沛,一手剑术硬是练得有模有样起来。 „Perhaps has the time to her to drink one bottle of Dragon potion?” Steven is pondering. “也许有时间可以给她喝一瓶巨龙魔药？”史蒂芬思考着。 Countess Illya was the average person, Steven does not know after all in the past she can resist the potion effect, this matter must analyze her bloodlines to decide first. 伊莉雅伯爵夫人毕竟过去是普通人,史蒂芬也不知道她能不能抵御魔药的效果,这件事情还得先化验一下她的血脉才能决定。 He stayed for two days in the mansion. 他在府邸呆了两天。 While this time comes also to have time, Steven tries to teach some Countess Illya simple cantrip, but the achievement is quite disappointing, making him wish one could to press Countess Illya on the knee pulls out ruthlessly. 趁着这次过来还有时间,史蒂芬试着传授伊莉雅伯爵夫人一些简单的戏法,但成果比较让人失望,让他恨不得把伊莉雅伯爵夫人摁在膝盖上狠狠地抽一顿。 Ok. 算了。 He should not hold the too high hope to Countess Illya. 他就不该对伊莉雅伯爵夫人抱有太大的希望。 What in the entire mansion progresses is most obvious is Knight Lola, this tall and strong female man from Highland in obtained the White Raven Swordsmanship skill after Steven here, the strength can be said as progresses by leaps and bounds, soon has touched at present the Legendary domain. Before departure, Steven with Countess Illya greeted, he passes exposed Northern Region ahead of time faintly already the resources that is unable to satisfy him to need from now on, but Young Lady Fran wants further also to go to the mainland opposite. Steven makes her be mentally prepared ahead of time, thinks that the good future to leave with him together. 整个府邸内进步最明显的是洛拉骑士,这个来自高地的魁梧女汉子在从史蒂芬这里得到了白鸦剑术的技巧后,实力可以说是一路突飞猛进,目前已经快要触摸到传奇的领域。在离开前,史蒂芬跟伊莉雅伯爵夫人提前打了一个招呼,他隐隐透露出来北境已经无法满足他今后所需要的资源,而芙兰小姐想要更进一步也必须前往大陆对面。史蒂芬让她提前做好心理准备,想好将来是不是要跟他一起离开。 If must leave, Cold Wind City needs to pay. 如果要离开的话,凛风城这边就需要交付一下。 Either chooses an appropriate agent, either overall lets go of here all. 要么选择一个合适的代理人,要么将这里的一切全盘脱手而出。 Countess Illya hearing this fell into silent, Steven does not worry, said slowly: „This matter, you have very long time to consider.” 伊莉雅伯爵夫人闻言陷入了沉默,史蒂芬也不着急,缓缓道:“这件事情,你还有很长的时间去考虑。” „Thinks that told me again.” “想好了再告诉我。” The life is facing many choices. 人生面临着许多的抉择。 In front of Countess Illya has made correct decision, therefore has her present status. However now she must make choice, is in Northern Region all that she currently has is more important, follows the Steven footsteps more important. If she chooses to content with the status quo, then Steven will be getting more and more far with her distance. 伊莉雅伯爵夫人前面做出了正确的决定,所以才有她现在的地位。但是现在她又必须做出选择,到底是北境内她目前拥有的一切更重要,还是跟随着史蒂芬的脚步更加重要。如果她选择安于现状的话,那么史蒂芬跟她的距离就会越来越远。 Third day. 第三天。 Steven returned to Mage Tower, after something instruction next, he then leaves to go to Five-Ring High Tower. 史蒂芬返回了巫师塔,在将一些事情吩咐下后,他便动身前往五环高塔。 He cannot leave the institute too long time. 他不能离开学院太久的时间。 With a Teleport spell aura, the Steven form disappears on the spot. 伴随着一道传送法术的灵光,史蒂芬的身影消失在原地。 When return he then goes to institute, does not pass by the road on passes through cities, Steven has actually discovered the unusual circumstance. 在返回后他便一路前往学院,不过路上经过一处城镇时,史蒂芬却发现了一点异常情况。 „What's the matter?” “怎么回事？” The Steven form falls from flying magic carpet, the present cities look like very on the wane, what is more important is outside has one pile has burnt down the human wreckage, the front door of cities shuts tightly, above can see with the guard patrol of sword. 史蒂芬的身影从飞天魔毯上落下,眼前的城镇看起来非常凋零,更加重要的是外面有一堆焚烧过的人类残骸,城镇的大门紧闭,上面可以看到拿着刀剑的卫兵巡逻。 „War?” “战争？” „It is not right! This death aura! Is the plague!” “不对！这股死亡气息！是瘟疫！” Steven frowned to look to the front cities, he can feel contagion aura of proliferation. 史蒂芬皱起眉头望向了前面的城镇,他能感觉到其中扩散的疫病气息。 He stayed the moment, then continues to hurry along. 他停留了片刻,便继续赶路。 This after all is the native matter, but is Steven is not Cleric, does not have any special means regarding the plague. 这毕竟是原住民的事情,而是史蒂芬又不是牧师,对于瘟疫也没什么特别的办法。 One group of pasts. 一路过去。 Steven discovered that the corpses after many place massive burning down, some villages absolutely did not have the live person. 史蒂芬发现很多地方都有大量焚烧后的尸体,有些村庄已经完全没有活人了。 The plague proliferated. 瘟疫已经扩散了。 „Who?” The front hears the vigilant inquiry sound. “谁？”前方传来警惕的询问声。 Steven walked, then saw quickly three wear gray-robe are wearing Elemental Pool symbol Mage. 史蒂芬走了过去,很快便看到了三位穿着灰袍佩戴着元素池徽记的巫师。 "Ah!" “啊！” „Is Teacher Steven!” The one of appearance delicate and pretty young girl said surprised. “是史蒂芬导师！”其中一个模样清秀的少女吃惊道。 Steven nodded slightly glanced at her, but does not have what impression, possibly the opposite party has taken his curriculum. These are Five-Ring High Tower Mage, here was away from institute to be very near. 史蒂芬微微点头看了她一眼,但却没有什么印象,可能对方上过他的课程吧。这些都是五环高塔的巫师,这里距离学院已经很近了。 „Do you do in this?” Steven asked. “你们在这干什么？”史蒂芬问道。 Three gray-robe Mage expressions on the scene are pleasantly surprised, that young girl replied: „Recently outside suddenly presented a strange plague, the speed that it spreads is fast.” 在场的三个灰袍巫师表情惊喜,那个少女回答道:“最近外面突然出现一种奇怪的瘟疫,它扩散的速度非常快。” „institute suspected that has Black Mage to fudge.” “学院怀疑是有黑巫师动手脚。” „At present many people are sent the matter of investigation plague, our duties are to try to find the solution prevent the plague to further spread, simultaneously seeks for the source of plague as far as possible.” “目前有不少人都被派出来调查瘟疫的事情,我们的任务是想办法阻止瘟疫进一步扩散,同时尽可能寻找到瘟疫的源头。” Steven nods , to continue to ask: „Does institute send for examining plague type at present?” 史蒂芬点点头,继续问道:“学院目前派人检测瘟疫种类了吗？” „Un.” Young girl nod expression was dignified said: „Is the bubonic plague.” “嗯。”少女点头表情凝重道:“是鼠疫。” „The thing that some have not known mixes in inside, therefore institute will suspect that has Black Mage to fudge in secret.” “还有一些不知道的东西混在里面,所以学院才会怀疑有黑巫师暗中动手脚。” Bubonic plague? 鼠疫？ Steven immediately frowned. 史蒂芬顿时皱起了眉头。 If is really the bubonic plague, solved quite to be troublesome, because mouse thing everywhere was, the survival multiplication ability was really too strong. 如果真的是鼠疫的话,解决起来就比较麻烦了,因为老鼠这东西到处都是,生存繁衍能力实在是太强了。 „You continue to investigate. I return to institute first.” Steven has greeted then continues to hurry along. “你们继续调查。我先返回学院。”史蒂芬打过招呼便继续赶路。 Leaves for a half month. 才离开半个多月的时间。 Unexpectedly here presented the plague .

Must know that this time compares the vast territory with a sparse population, even if the plague appears is very difficult to proliferate rapidly. 居然这边就出现瘟疫了,而且扩散的势头如此猛烈,背后恐怕有人在推动。要知道这个时代还是比较地广人稀的,瘟疫哪怕出现也很难迅速扩散开来。 .................. ………………
