Young mage Cohen stands, in this in mansion that belongs to Duke, listening to surrounding Spellcasters to discuss matter in a low voice about Southern Region that piece of mysterious developement territory, once for a while echoes two, but in fact actually absent-minded. 年轻的法师科恩站在这座属于公爵的宅邸中,听着周围的施法者们低声讨论关于南境那片神秘开拓领的事情,时不时附和两句,但实际上却心不在焉。 Here person has half is not earnest recruits to that Cohen is very clear this. 这里的人有一半都不是认真冲着那份招募来的,科恩很清楚这点。 The new promote aristocrat who the little family that they decline behind day after day, is preparing to impact a higher position, wanted with the rich Jia grand merchant that the aristocrats hit the relations diligently, these person of true goals did not go to Southern Region that piece of developement territory to be what constructor from the start, but was the hope can taking this opportunity and Cecil Family establishes certain Relation Cecil Family did not decline false, Founding Duke that but resurrected has brought a silk to hope for the family of this decline, for the six months when about the Southern Region developement territory news had to transmit, Cecil Family the destruction on that piece of barren land, instead gradually gain a foothold, this is not been detachable by certain people with ulterior motives thoughts. Getting up. 他们身后是日渐式微的小家族,是正准备冲击更高一层地位的新晋贵族,是努力想要和贵族们打好关系的富贾豪商,这些人真正的目的压根不是去南境那片开拓领当什么建设者,而是希望能借此机会和塞西尔家族建立一定联系-塞西尔家族没落不假,但复活的开国公爵已经为这个没落的家族带来了一丝希望,近半年来关于南境开拓领的消息时有传来,塞西尔家族没有在那片不毛之地上覆灭,反而正渐渐站稳脚跟,这便让某些别有用心的人心思活络起来。 Almost all people approve a fact: Even if Founding Duke really runs to go to the border to do the development, Cecil Family returns to the Kingdom political arena is also sooner or later matter, no matter for royal family orthodox symbol for the dignity of stable aristocrat system, country Royal Capital must make Cecil Family a royal family Pillar/Backbone King can dread Gawain Cecil oneself, but he must face up to obtains „Cecil that” the ancestor shelters this surname. 几乎所有人都认可一个事实:哪怕开国公爵真的跑去边境搞起开拓,塞西尔家族重回王国政治舞台也是迟早的事,不管是为了王室本身的正统象征还是为了稳固贵族体系的体统,国王都必须让塞西尔家族重新成为王室的一根支柱-国王可以忌惮高文?塞西尔本人,但他必须正视重新得到先祖庇护的“塞西尔”这个姓氏。 Such being the case, then currently also naturally has the investment value in Cecil Family of border. 既然如此,那么目前还远在边境的塞西尔家族自然就有了投资价值。 But said no matter how, „Cecil” this surname was still sensitive, their values of each contribution were still not very clear, therefore many respected families are also still waiting and seeing at present, but also was pondering discretely, therefore some small the little family that takes the respected family dependency was pushed, and recruits the Extraordinary opportunity taking advantage of this Duke, comes to establish a relation, good to build the foundation for the future investment. 但不管怎么说,“塞西尔”这个姓氏仍然是敏感的,他们的投资价值也仍然不够明朗,所以很多大家族目前也还在观望,还在谨慎思考,于是一些小的、作为大家族附庸的小家族就被推了出来,并借着这次公爵招募超凡者的机会,前来建立一丝联系,好为将来的投资打下基础。 But is hugging the person of special goal besides this part, the thoughts of others are not pure, is a little only certain, that is almost few individuals is really to responding Duke summons. 而除了这部分抱着特殊目的的人之外,现场其他人的心思也不单纯,唯有一点可以肯定,那就是现场几乎没几个人是真的冲着响应公爵号召来的。 If no family duty, Class Holder obtained extraordinary force what definitely does not need to run to go to barren land of border to do to develop the construction, the reward that even if Duke gives is not low, what can obtain to harvest on that not having a thing in the world lands? What Extraordinary most regards as important is the extraordinary domain promotion prospect, next in the upper class career development, money to them is the thing ranked the third. 若无家族任务,一个获得超凡力量的职业者完全没有必要跑去边境的不毛之地搞什么开拓建设,哪怕公爵给的酬劳不低,在那片一无所有的土地上又能得到什么收获？超凡者最看重的是超凡领域的晋升前景,其次是在上流社会的发展前途,金钱对他们而言是排在第三位的东西。 But whether as for can climbs up the friendship...... not to have family background Spellcaster not to count on this while this opportunity and Cecil Family, this is the world that a tasteful bloodline and family inherit, family background civilians also do not have small mage of multimillionaire net worth, what value can Duke? 而至于是否能趁这个机会和塞西尔家族攀上交情……没有家族背景的施法者可不会指望这个,这是个讲究血统与家族传承的世界,一个出身平民又没有巨富身家的小法师,对公爵而言能有什么价值？ Cohen knows oneself are also so, although he with some Sanctis personal relations, this time also after receiving the Sanctis personal correspondence decides to take a look at the situation, but in fact he did not plan that really responded recruiting of Duke, he Spellcaster that came here goal and other goes down in the world young is the same, but settled on „personal connection that” this place brought opportunity- these wanted to invest the Cecil Family person, they were only the end in aristocrat system, but regarding husband and wife general talent also general low level mage like Cohen was still the rare personal connection, now in the hall 2/5 people are hugging with these. The people climb the friendship. 科恩知道自己也是如此,他虽然跟桑提斯有些私人交情,这次也是在收到桑提斯的私人信函之后才决定来看看情况,但实际上他并不打算真的去响应公爵的招募,他来这里的目的和其他年轻落魄的施法者一样,只是看中了这个地方带来的“人脉”机会而已-那些想要投资塞西尔家族的人,他们自身只是贵族体系中的末梢,但对于像科恩这样家室一般天赋也一般的低级法师而言仍然是不可多得的人脉,现在大厅里五分之二的人都是抱着跟这些人攀交情来的。 Here only has two people: Wants with the first person who Cecil Family climbs the friendship, as well as wants like Cohen with the second person who the first person climbs the friendship. 这里只有两种人:想要跟塞西尔家族攀交情的第一种人,以及像科恩这样想要跟第一种人攀交情的第二种人。 Keeps the brown curly hair, has the aquiline nose, wore the young people of fine silk clothes to walk, a collateral branch member who Cohen recognized this is Straughn family, therefore stands up immediately with a smile, carried the wine glass to express best wishes to it, wanted to chitchat diligently several. 一个留着棕色卷发,有着鹰钩鼻,身穿精致丝绸衣服的年轻人走了过来,科恩认出这是史特劳恩家族的一名旁系成员,于是立刻笑着站起身,端起酒杯向其致意,努力想要攀谈几句。 both sides have no friendship, how long chitchatted has not continued, but Cohen believes oneself had made the little impression on the opposite party, after the young masters of that Straughn family/home left, young mage received on the face the stiff smile, exhaled the tone gently, put down the wine glass to leave the seat. 双方没什么交情,攀谈并没有持续多久,但科恩相信自己已经给对方留下了一点点印象,在那位史特劳恩家的少爷离开之后,年轻的法师收起脸上僵硬的笑容,轻轻呼出口气,放下酒杯离开了座位。 Wears attendant of red waistcoat to ask immediately whether he needs to help- these attendant all are the royal family employment and dispatch, after Gawain Cecil Duke resurrects, royal family to show good will, then during Duke goes to Southern Region continues to disburse money the person help to respond this Industry Cohen beckons with the hand , indicating oneself are only the chest is stuffy, wants to go out for a walk. 身穿红色马甲的侍从立刻上前询问他是否需要帮助-这些侍从皆是王室雇佣并派遣,在高文?塞西尔公爵复活之后,王室为了示好,便在公爵前往南境期间继续出钱出人帮忙搭理这处产业-科恩摆了摆手,表示自己只是胸闷,想要出去走走。 He left the brilliantly illuminated living room, arrives at outside to blow the cold wind, Giant Sun has been sinking gradually, the weather is little gloomy. 他离开了灯火辉煌的客厅,来到外面吹着冷风,巨日已经渐渐下沉,天色正一点点暗淡下来。 Cohen sneezes, he rubs the nose, has turned around to prepare to drink one glass of precious Kallner wines again, then goes home. 科恩打了个喷嚏,他揉揉鼻子,转过身准备再喝一杯珍贵的卡尔纳葡萄酒,然后回家。 But at this moment, he noticed that skin color slightly black, wore the long skirt and young woman towards oneself named Jibril to walk. 但就在这时,他看到那位肤色微黑、身穿长裙、名叫吉普莉的年轻女性朝自己走了过来。 Sanctis is really the good luck, can have such a beautiful young lady to accompany about. 桑提斯真是好运气,能有这样一位美丽的小姐陪伴左右。 Cohen quite a little envied thinks, expresses best wishes to the present female mage apprentice slight nod later: „Miss Jibril.” 科恩颇有点羡慕地想了一句,随后对眼前的女法师学徒微微点头致意:“吉普莉小姐。” He must express best wishes to Duke Envoy, but must maintain as acting with constraint of official Extraordinary, after all the opposite party is only mage apprentice. 他要对公爵的使者致意,但也得保持身为正式超凡者的矜持,毕竟对方只是个法师学徒而已。 Jibril selected a forehead with the finger lightly, returns by a standard mage ritual, and is smiling asking: „Cohen? Pohnert mister, yes?” 吉普莉用手指轻点了一下额头,回以一个标准的法师礼,并微笑着问道:“科恩?博纳特先生,是么？” „Right, is I, has the matter?” “没错,就是我,请问有事么？” „You conform to the condition, Sanctis mister make me give you this.” “您符合条件,桑提斯先生让我把这个交给您。” Young female mage apprentice folds the good correspondence as well as one seems like very ordinary brooch to give Cohen, the latter after receiving the correspondence actually could not bear knits the brows slightly, hesitated was saying: „But...... I have not been ready to want......” 年轻的女法师学徒将一封折好的信函以及一枚看上去很普通的胸针交给科恩,后者在接过信函之后却忍不住微微皱眉,犹豫着说道:“可是……我并没有做好准备要……” „This does not go to the Southern Region registration letter, but is only next the invitation of meeting,” Jibril smiles was saying, „please do not miss this opportunity- puts on the brooch is you participates in the proof of meeting.” “这并不是前往南境的登记函,而只是下一场聚会的邀请,”吉普莉微笑着说道,“请不要错过这次机会-戴上胸针就是您参加聚会的证明。” Cohen also wants to ask anything, but Jibril actually smiles to shake the head mystically, turns around to get out of the way, Cohen does not have the means that can only lower the head to open the correspondence that folded, curiously seems like. 科恩还想要问些什么,但吉普莉却只是神秘地微笑摇头,转身走开,科恩没办法,只能低下头打开了那封折起来的信函,好奇地看起来。 Above only wrote a few words: Tonight after the first bell called, still in this place. 上面只写了一句话:今夜第一声钟鸣之后,仍在此地。 But behind these words actually small symbol, symbol that has the lightning and eye design. 但这句话后面却又有一个小小的符号,一个带有闪电和眼睛图案的符号。 „Magician secret meeting? What does Sanctis do...... is the preparation taking advantage of this time carries out own private party for the opportunity that Duke attended to official duties? Does he also plan to return to the Royal Capital mage circle?” “魔法师密会？桑提斯搞什么……是准备借着这次替公爵办差的机会来搞自己的私人聚会么？他还打算回到王都法师圈子？” Cohen is knitting the brows whispers curiously, but earnest letter/believes received letter. 科恩皱着眉好奇地嘀咕道,但还是认真把信函收了起来。 No matter Sanctis thinks what are you doing, similar Magician secret meeting needs to participate in very much, Spellcasters is exchanging together is promotion strength and good opportunity of harvest knowledge, but must organize a dignified meeting is not cheap, since some person acting organizations, moreover can continue to taste the good wine delicacies in Duke mansion, Cohen believes that the great majority people will not miss this opportunity. 不管桑提斯想干什么,类似的魔法师密会还是很有必要参加一下的,施法者们在一起交流本身就是提升实力、收获知识的好机会,只是要组织一次体面的聚会并不便宜,既然这次有人出面组织,而且还能在公爵的宅邸中继续品尝美酒佳肴,科恩相信大多数人都不会错过这个机会。 He watched a outside weather, discovered that Sun has almost sunk completely the horizon: First bell Ming is not far. 他看了一眼外面的天色,发现太阳几乎已经完全沉下地平线:第一声钟鸣并不远了。 He returns to the living room, saw that many people have set out to leave, but some people sit in same place, Cohen took a fast look around, saw that in the corner on the clothes of some people had left a brooch. 他回到客厅,看到不少人已经起身离开,但还有一些人坐在原地,科恩扫视了一圈,看到角落中有人的衣服上已经别了一枚胸针。 Really not, only then oneself...... 果然不只有自己嘛…… Cohen felt relieved, brooch don't on body. 科恩放下心来,也把胸针别在身上。 Also crossed for dozen minutes, high-level attendant appears , indicating that this meeting had ended, the guest situation has all registered, asking the visitors to leave at will. 又过了十几分钟,有一名高级侍从出现,表示这次聚会已经结束,来宾情况皆已登记,请访客们随意离开。 Therefore several people set out to leave here, but Cohen saw that still some people sit have not moved- on them has the brooch. 于是又有几个人起身离开这里,但科恩看到仍然有人坐着没动-他们身上都是带有胸针的。 Puts on the waiter and maid of wear black and white maidservant of skirt red waistcoat enters the hall, starts the tray and wine glass that tidy up the guests to leave behind, Cohen slightly somewhat sits disturbedly returns to the seat, a waiter passes through from him at present, the line of sight of this waiter obviously stayed on the brooch of his coat, later the waiter nods to salute, has not made him leave, instead brought one cup of sobering up state of mind sour grass water. 穿着红色马甲的侍者和穿着黑白侍女裙的女仆进入大厅,开始收拾宾客们留下的盘子和酒杯,科恩略有些忐忑地坐回到座位上,一名侍者从他眼前走过,这名侍者的视线明显在他上衣的胸针上停留了一下,随后侍者点头致敬,没有让他离开,反而带来了一杯醒酒清神的酸草水。 Cohen then felt relieved thoroughly. 科恩这才彻底放下心来。 Also after a while, Cohen saw that some new visitors entered living room- on these visitors also brings outside cold air, enters the earliest possible time of room to rub hands to move toward the fireplace, obviously just arrived. 又过了一会,科恩看到一些新的访客走进了客厅-这些访客身上还带着外面的寒气,进屋的第一时间就是搓着手走向壁炉,显然是刚刚抵达的。 During the daytime are they had come earlier „accepting a job offer”? Does specialized catch up to attend evening's meeting again? 他们是白天早些时候来过的“应招者”？专门再度赶来参加晚上的聚会？ The meeting scale that Sanctis this time must do is big person who...... really can spend the aristocrat money worthily. 桑提斯这次要搞的聚会规模不小啊……真不愧是能花贵族钱的人。 The Cohen train of thought is diverging, slowly he noticed an unusual matter: 科恩的思绪发散着,慢慢他注意到了一件不同寻常的事: The person who comes to attend the meeting has much is the ripe face, this is not strange, after all the mage circle population is limited, but in these people unexpectedly completely not member from aristocratic family or some mage faction! 前来参加聚会的人有不少是熟面孔,这本身不奇怪,毕竟法师圈子人数有限,但这些人里竟然完全没有来自贵族世家或者某个法师派系的成员！ Even if Sanctis that goes down in the world, should know such 1-2 aristocratic families or faction members...... at least with should have in a friendship of Mage Tower further education? 要知道,哪怕是落魄的桑提斯,也是应该认识那么1-2世家或者派系成员的……至少同在一座法师塔进修的交情该有吧？ Hasn't invited intentionally? Said...... this meeting is very special, all aristocratic family member and were faction members excluded? 故意没有邀请？还是说……这次聚会真的很特殊,所有的世家成员和派系成员都被排除在外了？ In the Cohen heart moved, cannot bear enhance the attention. 科恩心中一动,忍不住提高了注意力。 His instinct feeling tonight's so-called „the second meeting” perhaps not simple...... 他本能地感觉今晚的所谓“第二次聚会”恐怕并不简单…… But in the process of this thinking, the first ding in Royal Capital sounded. 而就在这番思索的过程中,王都内的第一次钟声敲响了。 Dingdong the ding resounds, in each Church summoned that believer prayed and praises in the Lord ding, Cohen noticed attendant one by one to leave the hall, but these wore the soldier of Cecil standard armor to replace attendant to defend each access, the sound of door bolt block system also transmitted from the front door direction. 叮叮当当的钟声响起,在各个教堂号召信徒们祈祷、颂主的钟声中,科恩注意到侍从们一个个离开了大厅,而那些身穿塞西尔制式铠甲的士兵则代替侍从守住了各个出入口,门闩闭锁的声音也从大门方向传来。 The person is a little slightly anxious, but is quick, the side gate of hall opened, puts on Sanctis of black mage long gown entered the hall under Jibril and Pierce's accompaniment. 现场的人略有点不安,但很快,大厅的侧门打开,穿着一身黑色法师长袍的桑提斯在吉普莉和皮尔斯的陪同下走进了大厅。 Sanctis calmly took a fast look around person in hall, he discovered that really to this time, oneself estimate is calmer. 桑提斯静静地扫视了大厅里的人一圈,他发现真到了这个时候,自己比预想的还要镇静。 Afterward, he opened the mouth: 随后,他开口了: „, Some people's magic techniques to ancient Gondor as well as loses the domain knowledge to be interested?” “诸位,有人对古刚铎的魔法技艺以及失落领域的知识感兴趣么？” Southern Region, in Count Horsman castle, wears Count golden red magnificent clothes, has sharp look Count Karlov Horsman to stand on the banquet field, the hand is mid-level the gold cup that is filled with Kallner wine, is observing the situation the guest of appearance with smile on the face. 南境,霍斯曼伯爵的城堡中,身穿伯爵金红色华服,拥有锐利眼神的卡洛夫?霍斯曼伯爵站在宴会场上,手中端着盛满卡尔纳葡萄酒的金杯,面带微笑地环视着到场的宾客。 In the delightful the musical sound of seven string qin and tambourine, this Count said loudly: „, Some people to coming from Cecil territory ‚magic circuit’ is technology interested? 在悦耳的七弦琴和铃鼓的音乐声中,这位伯爵高声说道:“诸位,有人对来自塞西尔领的‘魔网’技术感兴趣么？ „I must tell everyone a good news-, in Horsman family several under effort that Adviser magic as well as scholars who fill wisdom, I have solved its secret!” “我要告诉大家一个好消息-在霍斯曼家族数位充满智慧的魔法顾问以及学者们的努力下,我已经破解了它的秘密！”
