Cold Wind City. 凛风城。 When Countess Illya sees Steven once again, her whole person is a little ignorant. 当伊莉雅伯爵夫人再度见到史蒂芬时,她整个人是有点懵的。 In study room. 书房内。 „Sir Steven?” Count Illya looks to turn into 16 -year-old youngster appearance Steven, she a little does not understand why trades a status to turn into this appearance. “史蒂芬大人？”伊莉雅伯爵看着变成16岁少年模样的史蒂芬,她有点不明白为什么换一个身份要变成这副模样。 Tick-tock. 嘀嗒。 Steven received a pocket watch of pure gold, then raised the head lightly said: „You should shout me Steven. Because I am your distantly related cousin child, you now are my paternal aunt.” 史蒂芬将一枚纯金的怀表收了起来,然后抬头淡淡道:“你应该喊我史蒂芬。因为我是你的远房表侄子,你现在是我的姑妈。” „puchi.” Countess Illya wants to smile inexplicably, but after by Steven that cane whipped buttocks, immediately honest. “噗嗤。”伊莉雅伯爵夫人莫名想笑,但被史蒂芬那手杖抽了一下屁股后立刻老实了下来。 She has suppressed some little time, said in a low voice: „Why can Sir turn into this appearance? Actually so long as camouflaged to be OK slightly, channel opposite Mages recruited apprentice only to care to have the Mage aptitude, did not care about their status, will not investigate the status the genuine and fake.” 她憋了好一会儿,才小声道:“大人为什么要变成这副模样？其实只要稍微伪装一下就可以了,海峡对面的巫师们招收学徒只在乎有没有巫师资质,根本不在意他们的身份,也不会调查身份的真假。” „In the past in Southern Region, some crimes young people, so long as has innate skill to be released on bail to carry off by them.” “过去在南境,有些犯罪的年轻人只要有天赋都会被他们保释带走。” Steven hearing this gawked said: „Eh? This matter?” 史蒂芬闻言愣了一下道:“咦？还有这种事情？” Countess Illya looked that he is quite surprised, therefore explained: „Approximately is 20 years ago. I also from grandmother there heard that the illegitimate child has committed the fence of murder, because was inspected to have Mage innate skill exactly, he was then given to release on bail to carry off. Although also nobody has seen finally him again, goes to the channel opposite person little to come back, some even thoroughly lost the contact, my younger sister is also this.” 伊莉雅伯爵夫人看他颇为惊讶,于是解释道:“大约是20年前吧。我也是从祖母那里听说的,有一个私生子犯了谋杀罪,但是因为恰好被检查出来了拥有巫师天赋,他便被人给保释带走了。虽然最后再也没有人见过他,前往海峡对面的人很少回来,有些甚至彻底失去了联系,我的妹妹也是这样。” Here, Countess Illya can't help sighing. 说到这,伊莉雅伯爵夫人不由叹了一口气。 Afterward, she lifts the head hopefully say/way: „If Steven goes to the channel opposite, can help me inquire younger sister's news? She is called Elise, ten years ago enters the Five-Ring High Tower study.” 随后,她抬起脑袋充满期望道:“如果史蒂芬前往海峡对面的话,能不能帮我打听一下妹妹的消息？她叫做伊莉丝,十年前进入五环高塔学习。” „Ok.” Steven nodded, said. “可以。”史蒂芬点头道。 It looks like these Mage simply does not care about good and evil, or is the Mage innate skill value has dominated above the ordinary law. 看起来这些巫师根本就不在乎善恶,或者是巫师天赋的价值已经凌驾于普通的法律之上。 Five-Ring High Tower Steven destination. 五环高塔正是史蒂芬的目的地。 Compared to other Mage Institute that knows from the note, Five-Ring High Tower is the rule relatively most loose place. 相对于从笔记上知道的其他巫师学院,五环高塔是规则相对最宽松的地方。 Countess Illya very intelligent has not continued to ask again, by resources that Steven has now, if wanted to go to the channel opposite definitely to ride the navigation ship in the past. But he actually chose to trade a status even to change the appearance to go by the Mage apprentice status, Countess Illya slightly thinks then to guess correctly that selected his idea, perhaps Sir Steven wants to change external appearances only to steal the Master scholarship, in any case no matter any goal she disguised not to know well. 伊莉雅伯爵夫人很聪明的没有再继续问下去,以史蒂芬现在掌握的资源,如果想要前往海峡对面的话完全可以坐航海船过去。可是他却选择换一个身份甚至改变了容貌以巫师学徒的身份前往,伊莉雅伯爵夫人只是稍微想了想便猜到点他的想法,恐怕史蒂芬大人是想改头换面过去偷师学艺,反正不管是什么目的她都假装不知道就好。 „Good. A while on set out.” The Steven knocked table said. “好了。一会儿就出发吧。”史蒂芬敲了一下桌子道。 In the afternoon. 下午时分。 Under the arrangement of Countess Illya, horse-drawn vehicles and two guards are then responsible for delivering Steven to go to Yalandier. 在伊莉雅伯爵夫人的安排下,一辆马车和两个护卫便负责送史蒂芬前往雅兰蒂尔。 His present status is just the distantly related nephew, therefore cannot too pass on a grand scale. Some Cold Wind City many children of the nobility were also delivered, basically is in the family has presented the Mage bloodlines. Some well-informed merchants have also sent to the heir, but the test is everybody has the opportunity, but can be selected must look at the aptitude, every other ten years of some large quantities of youngster young girls were delivered, but has the Mage aptitude truly very is scarce. 他现在的身份只不过是远房侄子,所以不能太大张旗鼓过去。凛风城也有不少贵族子弟被送了过去,基本上都是家族内出现过巫师血脉的。一些消息灵通的商人也送去了子嗣,不过测试是人人都有机会的,可是能不能被选中还要看资质,每隔十年都有大批少年少女被送过去,可是真正有巫师资质的非常稀少。 Goes to Yalandier to have two days of distances from Cold Wind City. 从凛风城前往雅兰蒂尔有两天的路程。 After many places, Steven at least will see all the way dozens go to the same direction the carriage. 一路上会经过不少地方,史蒂芬至少看到了数十辆前往同一个方向的马车。 The guard of accompanying is quite uncommunicative, but Steven is also disinclined to speak, but opens the Whelan Woods that Mage note in the carriage. When third day, entire group arrived at Yalandier finally, on the road has also met beast, but was sent by the guard very much with ease. 随行的护卫比较沉默寡言,而史蒂芬也懒得说话,只是在马车内翻开维兰之森那位巫师的笔记。第三天时,一行人终于到达了雅兰蒂尔,路上还遇到了一次野兽,不过很轻松就被护卫打发了。 Lives from channel opposite Mages in great library. 来自海峡对面的巫师们居住在大图书馆。 Yalandier was Northern Region was once most civilized the grandest city, what a pity the flames of war serious that very destroyed here, some grand sculpture had has repaired the trace obviously. 雅兰蒂尔曾经是北境最文明最壮丽的城市,可惜战火将这里破坏的很严重,一些雄伟的雕塑明显有修复过的痕迹。 Many teenage boys and girls gather at this city, has status Steven this for example, each region aristocrat already arranged only to the correspondence hand over then some people to settle. other people needs to pay some fees, after the children of the nobility examine completely, can turn on. 许许多多的少男少女聚集在这座城市,有身份的比如说史蒂芬这样的,各地贵族早就安排好了只需将书信递上去便会有人安顿。其他人则需要缴纳一些费用,等到贵族子弟们全部检测完后才能轮上。 Steven curiously observes native Mage to choose the apprentice way all the way. 史蒂芬一路上好奇地观察着原住民巫师挑选学徒的方式。 Has arranged over a hundred people in front of him, after a few minutes some people of whole face disappointedly walked, these youngster will leave quickly then here. 在他前面足足排了上百人,每隔几分钟就有人满脸失望地走了出来,这些少年很快便会离开这里。 Approximately after is three hours, finally has been one's turn Steven, a man of guard appearance has gotten him, before long table in library, sits three Mage, the head age about 30-40 years old, wears a sky-blue long gown, nearby two want to be younger, Mage that but officially is promoted. 大约是三个多小时后,终于是轮到了史蒂芬,一个侍卫模样的男子将他领了进去,图书馆内的长桌前坐着三个巫师,为首的年纪大约三四十岁,穿着一袭蔚蓝色的长袍,旁边两个要年轻很多,但都是正式晋级的巫师。 „Starts.” Nearby male coldly said. “开始吧。”旁边的男子冷冷道。 In one day has tested over a thousand people, these Mage were a little impatient, in their, only then three people, two male female, as if selected Mage apprentice. 一天内测试了上千人,这些巫师已经有点不耐烦了,在他们的身后只有三个人,两男一女,似乎是被选中的巫师学徒。 Steven before under the arrangement of aide arrived at the long table, then the hand has placed on crystal ball. 史蒂芬在侍从的安排下来到了长桌前,然后将手放在了水晶球上。 The bright ray appears together! 一道明亮的光芒浮现！ originally somewhat careless Mages immediately eyes opened wide, three young people also curiously of surface being bored to death are then sizing up Steven. 原本有些漫不经心的巫师们顿时睁大了眼睛,而后面百无聊赖的三个年轻人也好奇地打量着史蒂芬。 „Is very good.” “很好。” The head Mage sound is low and deep, eyes narrowed gazes at Steven saying: „mid-grade aptitude. You can sit to that side.” 为首的巫师声音低沉雄浑,眯着眼睛注视着史蒂芬道:“中等的资质。你可以坐到那边去了。” Three Mage have exchanged a while in a low voice. 三个巫师低声交流了一会儿。 When behind Steven arrives goes, the entrance aide has taken to bring in the next tester. 就在史蒂芬走到后面去时,门口的侍从已经带进来了下一个测试者。 „Hello. I called Wicktor. mid-grade aptitude.” An about 17 or 18 years old youth stands slightly smiled, said. “你好。我叫威克多。中等资质。”一个大约十七八岁的青年站起来微笑道。 Manner immediately of other two people were also friendlier, the only young girl also said to Steven blinked: „Hello. I am called Lina, is the mid-grade aptitude.” 其他两个人的态度也顿时友好了许多,唯一的少女还冲着史蒂芬眨了眨眼睛道:“你好。我叫做丽娜,也是中等资质。” „I...... I called Rasi. inferior-grade aptitude.” Last 13 or 14-year-old freckle youngster a little restlessly said. “我……我叫拉西。下等资质。”最后一个十三四岁的雀斑少年有点不安道。 Steven nodded slightly in response. 史蒂芬微微点头回应。 This little while had three testers to walk, but was a pity how very much regardless of these youngster young girls diligently, present crystal ball is unable to send out even if a wee bit rays. 这会儿已经有三个测试者走了进来,但是很可惜无论这些少年少女们如何努力,眼前的水晶球都无法发出哪怕一丁点的光芒。 „Tower Spirit No. 1. Scanning!” “塔灵1号。扫描！” Steven is dealing with chitchatting of another three apprentice, while has carried on the scanning to crystal ball. 史蒂芬一边应付着另外三个学徒的攀谈,一边对水晶球进行了扫描。 Quick, the standard of native test aptitude was given to ravel by him. 很快,原住民测试资质的标准就被他给弄明白了。 Only then has the Mage innate skill talented person to make crystal ball send out the ray, but differs from according to the innate skill fit and unfit quality crystal ball ray. Steven suppressed own element affinity when the test, even if were this or tests the mid-grade aptitude, the method of native to innate skill test was quite as if primitive. 只有拥有巫师天赋的人才可以让水晶球发出光芒,而是根据天赋的优劣水晶球的光芒有所不同。史蒂芬在测试时压制了自己的元素亲和力,不过即便是这样还是测试出来了中等资质,原住民对天赋测试的手段似乎还比较原始。 The day quickly passed. 一天的时间很快过去。 These Mages have at least tested more than 2000 people, but finally selected, only then five people, big fellow from Northern Region were also selected besides Steven, seems the true Giant hybrid, is only 15 years old has about the 2.5 meters height. 这些巫师们至少测试了2000多人,可是最终被选中的只有五个人,除了史蒂芬外还有一个来自北境的大个子被选中,似乎是真正的巨人混血,才15岁就有两米五左右的身高。 In an instant three days of pass by. 转眼三天的时间过去。 Mages that behind did not harvest no longer wastes the time, after they leave behind a person, then brings five apprentice to go to Southern Region Wind Valley. 后面一直都是毫无收获的巫师们不再浪费时间,他们留下其中的一个人后便带着五个学徒前往南境风谷。 .................. ………………
