清晨的第一缕阳光照射在塞西尔城最高的钟楼上,为这座城市镀上了来自巨日的第一缕辉光,伴随着齿轮和杠杆的运转,由魔能核心驱动的机械钟奏出了响亮的钟鸣-When- when- works as-
当-当-当-Inresounding of mechanical clock, the Cecilcityremovednight of sleeping soundlylazy, the entirecitystartsto be rapidly brightunder the sunlight.
在机械钟的鸣响中,塞西尔城褪去了一夜安眠的慵懒,整座城市开始在阳光下迅速鲜活起来。Wore the workers of work clothesto go out of the bricksconstructionhouse, the gearsquare and leveravenueafterindustrial district, moved towardruneCasting Factory and Machine Buildinginstitutesandotherplant facilitiesin groups, replaces the colleague who the evening classstopped work for the day; The merchantsopened the doorone after another, takes off the wooden sign before window, strikesis being hanging the copper collarundereavesannounced that starts a day of business; The newspaper boy and posmenare welcomingearly morningmist, insprinkling with water and sweep the cleanstreetsgoes through, the publication and letter of latest issuewill escort toeach and every family.
身穿工装的工人们走出了砖瓦建造的屋舍,经过工业区的齿轮广场和杠杆大街,成群结队地走向符文铸造厂、机械制造所和其他工厂设施,去替换晚班收工的同事;商户们一个接一个地打开了店门,摘下窗户前的木牌,敲打着悬挂在屋檐下的铜环宣布开始一天的营业;报童和邮差们迎着清晨的薄雾,在洒扫干净的街道之间穿行,将最新一期的报刊和信件送往家家户户。Butinthisrapidlybecomesfresh/livestreets and lanes, but alsofinds at everywherealreadybreakfaststall keeper who bustles about- theyhave gone outbefore sunrise, inhomenearbyintersectionstarted in a day mostimportantjob, the sound that the street vendors'criesandpeoplegreetedmayhearinblockseverywhere,resounding of thesesoundandmechanical clockmixedintogether, reverberatedin the entireCecilcity- just likethisnew student/lifecityat a early morningsoundsatisfied, butsatisfiedsigh.
而在这迅速变得鲜活起来的街头巷尾,还随处可见已经忙碌起来的早点摊贩-他们天不亮就已经出门,在家附近的街口开始了一天中最重要的营生,叫卖声和人们打招呼的声音在一条条街区中随处可闻,这些声音和机械钟的鸣响混合在一起,回响在整个塞西尔城-宛若这座新生城市在清晨的一声满足而惬意的叹息。In the Feudal Lord Mansionrestaurant, Gawainis sittingonownseat of honor, Hettysitsnearhisright hand, this„Cecilhousekeeper”cutsfrontbreadwhileis sayingrecently the situation on Feudal Territory: „...... The reportageaboutLuan cityalreadyissuesthrough the magic circuitbroadcast and newspaper,according toyourinstruction, besides the reportincidentcauseafter the resultbeyond, wealsostressedadditionallyregionalpeopledo not do several things at the same time, regardless of the status, is not divided the situation that the regionunites, it seems like that the effect is very at present good, peoplepublic sentiment in exhilaration, ‚ourCecilian’has becomeoneto spread very broadview.”领主府的餐厅中,高文正坐在属于自己的主位上,赫蒂则坐在他右手边,这位“塞西尔大管家”一边切割面前的面包一边说着最近领地上的情况:“……关于卢安城的新闻报道已经通过魔网广播和报纸发布出去,按照您的吩咐,除了报道事件起因经过结果之外,我们还额外强调了各地民众不分出身、不论身份、不分地域团结一心的情况,目前看来效果很好,人们群情振奋,‘我们塞西尔人’已经成为一个流传很广的说法。”Gawainslight bow, in the heartto the work of Godwin Orlandoas well asHettyis very satisfied.高文微微点着头,心中对戈德温?奥兰多以及赫蒂的工作十分满意。
The liberation of Luan cityhas the out of the ordinarysignificance, itnot onlymeans the Holy Light Churchinfluenceincomprehensiveretreating of Southern Region, means the new order'sfirsttime that hepromotesin the two yearsdiligentlytrueaffected the people of lowest level, but alsomeans that hisanotherplanis conductedsmoothly:卢安城的解放有着非同凡响的意义,它不仅意味着圣光教会势力在南境的全面溃退,也意味着他这两年努力推动的新秩序第一次真正影响到了最底层的民众,而且更意味着他另外一个计划正在顺利进行:Fornationalconsciouslaying foundation, makingSouthern Regionfrom an ordinarynoble territoryrealtransformationbe a country.
为民族意识奠基,让南境从一个普通的贵族领真正蜕变为一个国家。In the action of Luan city, myriadpeoplefromSouthern Regionstoodbecause of a samegoalinone, theycame from the differentsocial classes, fromdifferent the areas and families, theyoncewasdividedto be the crowd that differentFeudal Lord, were never in contact with each other, neverpaid attentionmutually, neverapprovedmutually, howeverforthatsamegoal, thesepeopleunited a strength- thisgoalwasto dominateintheirfamily background, professionandabove the place of residenceevenpersonal belief, but the emergence of thisphenomenon, onmeaning these scatteredpeoplehadbecame„the Cecilcitizen” the foundation..
在卢安城的行动中,来自南境各地的万千民众因为一个共同的目标而站在了一起,他们来自不同的社会阶层,也来自不同的地区和家族,他们曾经是分属于不同领主、老死不相往来的人群,从不互相关注,也从不互相认同,然而为了那个共同的目标,这些人凝聚成了一股力量-这个目标是凌驾于他们的出身、职业、居住地甚至个人信仰之上的,而这一现象的出现,就意味着这些原本零散的民众有了成为“塞西尔公民”的基础。Inthisfoundation, depends upon the long-enduringguidance and enlightenment, Cecilianwill awakensooner or lateris a community, theyhave the closemoral standards, has the similarliving habits, theywill use the commonwriting, the closelanguage, will celebrate the commonholiday, commemorates the commonhero, theywill calloneselfethnic groupfor„ourCecilian”proudly, will regard ashereland every inchsnaturally, is„us”territory.
在这个基础上,依靠持续性的引导和教化,塞西尔人迟早会觉醒为一个共同体,他们将有着相近的道德标准,有着相似的生活习俗,他们会使用共同的文字,相近的语言,会庆祝共同的节日,纪念共同的英雄,他们将自豪地称呼自己的族群为“我们塞西尔人”,而且将会把这里的每一寸土地都视作理所当然的、属于“我们”的领土。According to the Gawain'sexperience, thisidentitywill establish the peopleto„territoryunification” the psychologicalcornerstone, takes advantage of opportunityto develop, perhapsin addition the Cecil Familyinheriteddevelopmentoldancestor, canstep onto„poorly, thenputs aside the dispute, reachessince the ancient times”road/s......
根据高文的经验,这种认同感将奠定人民对“领土统一”的心理基石,顺势发展下去,再加上塞西尔家祖传的开拓老祖,说不定还能走上“穷则搁置争议,达则自古以来”的道路……Goodthispossiblya littlewants.
好吧这可能就有点想多了。Even ifdid not consider that „reachessince the ancient times”, wants the achievenationalityandnationalconsciousawakensis not easy, thisneedsmanyyears, althoughpeople of streets and lanescanhave the excitingandproudtonenowsay„ourCecilian”severalcharacters, temporaryupsurge that butthisjusthasbecause of the current situationat best, the short2-3years are not enoughto establish the firmlastingnationalfaith, so long asthisupsurgetook the firststep, so long as under Gawainingoverning the process of thislandsdo not make the huge mistake, so long asthislandscontinueas an integral development, „Cecilian”turns. The wholeis only the timeissue.
但是即便不考虑“达则自古以来”,要实现民族和国家意识觉醒也不容易,这需要很多年,虽然现在街头巷尾的人们会带着兴奋和自豪的语气说出“我们塞西尔人”几个字,但这充其量只不过是因时势而产生的暂时热潮而已,短短2-3年时间是不足以建立起坚固持久的民族信念的,可是只要这个热潮迈出了第一步,只要高文在治理这片土地的过程中不要犯下大错,只要这片土地继续作为一个整体发展下去,“塞西尔人”变成整体将只是时间问题。„Moreover, north does Fort Bouldersend in the news, Holy Spirit Plainsends outMessengerstoWalter? PericCommanderfortresstransmitted a correspondencefromroyal family,”Hettycontinues saying that „theyas ifset asidefinallyemptyto watch the Southsituation- northGrand DukeVictoria Wildewanted visit personally, thiswill beonetime‚personal nature’pay a visit. Thisletter/believesstillon the road, the newstransmitsthrough the magic circuitcommunicationat presentdirectly.”
“另外,北方磐石要塞发来消息,圣灵平原派出信使向瓦尔德?佩里奇要塞司令转交了一份来自王室的信函,”赫蒂继续说道,“他们似乎终于腾出空来关注南方的局势了-北方大公维多利亚?维尔德想要亲自来访,这将是一次‘私人性质’的拜访。这封信目前还在路上,消息是通过魔网通讯直接传来的。”Gawainshook the hand of soup ladleto stopslightly, on the faceshowed a strangehappy expression: „NorthDukebridges overhalfnational territorypersonallypay a visitanotherborderGrand Duke, moreoverin the crucial point of Kingdomcivil war...... thisfeared can only be known as the personal nature.”高文握着汤勺的手微微停顿了一下,脸上露出一丝古怪的笑意:“一个北方公爵跨过半个国土亲自拜访另一个边境大公,而且还是在王国内战的节骨眼上……这怕是只能号称私人性质了。”„Do youwantto agree?” The Hettylooks atGawain'seye, „refusesnorthernDukepossibly more excitingroyal family, makingthemtoSouthern Regionmore vigilant and contradiction, but ifagreed that...... northDukemustenterFort Boulder.”
“您要同意么?”赫蒂看着高文的眼睛,“拒绝北方公爵可能会更加刺激到王室,让他们对南境更为警惕和抵触,但如果同意……北方公爵就要进入磐石要塞了。”„Has nothingto reject,”Gawainspoke thoughtlesslyto reply, „weblocked the northernterrible businesswithFort Boulder, totallydo not blockWildeSouthern Regionsomequalities that girlmanyinheritedherancestor, Iwas gladto chatwithhervery much.”
“没什么可拒绝的,”高文随口答道,“我们只是用磐石要塞挡住北方的麻烦事而已,又不是要彻底把南境封锁起来-维尔德家那个姑娘多少继承了她先祖的一些品质,我很乐意跟她谈谈。”Heard„inherits some qualities of ancestor”these words, Hettycould not bearlooksatinownanother sideRebeccaone- thisgirlis lowering the headto make an effortwith the steakto competetogether, brandishes the appearance of knife and forkas ifto faceto kill the fatherpersonal enemy, saw thatHettyonlyto be able is not possibleto checksighs, received the line of sight: „Good, Iwill makeWalterCommanderfortressreplythatMessengers. However a matter...... thismatterperhaps was quite sensitive.”
听到“继承了先祖的一些品质”这句话,赫蒂就忍不住看了坐在自己另一边的瑞贝卡一眼-这姑娘正低着头使劲跟一块肉排较劲,挥舞刀叉的样子仿佛是在面对杀父仇人,见状赫蒂只能微不可查地叹口气,又把视线收了回来:“好的,我会让瓦尔德要塞司令回复那名信使。不过还有一件事……这件事恐怕就比较敏感了。”„Un?”
“嗯?”Hettyshows an awkwardlook: „NorthernHoly Light Churchliving saint, Saintess PrincessVeronica Mowen...... shealsosent in the correspondence, wantspay a visitSouthern Region, in the time and Victoria WildeDukepay a visittime is almost consistent......”赫蒂露出一丝为难的神色:“北方圣光教会的活圣人,圣女公主维罗妮卡?摩恩……她也发来了信函,想要拜访南境,时间上和维多利亚?维尔德公爵的拜访时间几乎一致……”Howis sittingopposite of the tablestudiesto wipeuniformAmberonehear of thissayingto raise the head the creamimmediately, the whole faceis surprised: „Wrecks the event? Becausewedid poundthemin the Luan citygathering place? Walked inquickly?”
正坐在桌子对面研究怎么把奶油抹匀的琥珀一听这话顿时抬起头来,满脸惊讶:“来砸场子的?因为咱们砸了他们在卢安城的场子?这么快就找上门了?”Ifin the past, HettyregardingAmberthistypewhenoneself and ancestortalkedsuddenlyinterrupted . Moreover the word usageuncouthlybehavior will be quite certainly discontented, said that did not permitto rubice arrowto hitat the sceneon some opponent's back'swall, but since the Luan cityeventended, Hettytothisseemed like that far-fetchedHalf-Elfhadsomenew faces- herconscioustothisHalf-Elfability and function, thenstartedto answer the issue of opposite partyearnestly: „Luan citymatteris impossibleto pass toSt. Sunilquickly, thissurpassed the generalcommunicationmagic spelllimitdistance, inLuanChurchcannothigh levelexpert that the informationpassed on. Veronica Mowenin the letter/believesexpressed that thisis onlynormalpay a visit......”
如果是在以往,赫蒂对于琥珀这种在自己和先祖交谈时突然插嘴,而且还用词粗鲁的行为一定会颇为不满,说不准就当场搓一个寒冰箭打在对方身后的某面墙上了,但自从卢安城的事件结束之后,赫蒂对这个看似不靠谱的半精灵有了一些改观-她意识到了这个半精灵的能力和作用,也便开始认真回答对方的问题:“卢安城的事情不可能这么快传到圣苏尼尔,这超出了一般传讯法术的极限距离,卢安教堂里也没有能够把信息传回去的高阶强者。维罗妮卡?摩恩在信中表示这只是一次正常的拜访……”„Detailednewsperhapscannot pass on, perhapsbut the Holy Light Churchheadquartershavewhatmeans to find out by secret inquiry the generalsituation in regional headquarters,”Gawainsaid,„as far as possiblewemustthink the opponentis more intelligent, is more competent.”
“详细消息或许传不回去,但圣光教会的总部说不定有什么办法能探知到地区总部的大概情况,”高文说道,“我们要尽量把对手想的聪明一些,能干一些。”Hettyis asking the Gawain'sopinion: „That...... do youwantto rejectthat‚Saintess Princess’?”赫蒂询问着高文的意见:“那……您要拒绝那个‘圣女公主’么?”„Does not needto reject, shewantsto comepay a visit, thatcomes,”Gawaindo not caresaid,„thisbearingIhave.”
“不必拒绝,她想来拜访,那就来嘛,”高文毫不在意地说道,“这点气量我还是有的。”„Youdid not fear that shedoes wreck the event?”Amberis blinking the eye, „wereallywreckedtheirevent......”
“你不怕她来砸场子啊?”琥珀眨巴着眼睛,“咱们可是真的砸了他们的场子……”„The fission of Holy LightprotestantismandoldReligionisestablished facts, the Luan citymatterwill pass to the Churchheadquarterseventually, entireSouthChurchvanished, is thismatterdifficultto be inadequatewealso to conceal the truth? Let aloneIdo not wantto conceal the truthfrom the beginning,”Gawainis saying, knocked a desktopgently, „myactuallymore curiousnorthChurchafterknowingthisfactwill haveanythingto respond......, iftheyreallyorganizedwave of Holy Church Armyto attackFort Boulderto be good, wecanomit the grain and fodder on manyroad.”
“圣光新教和旧教派的分裂已经是个既定事实,卢安城的事情终究会传到教会的总部去,整个南方教会消失了,这件事难不成我们还能瞒过去?更何况从一开始我也没想瞒着,”高文说着,轻轻敲了一下桌面,“我倒是更好奇北方教会在知道这个事实之后会有什么反应……如果他们真的组织起一波圣教军来进攻磐石要塞就好了,我们可以省去很多路上的粮草。”Gawaincracks a joke, Hettyactuallyshakes the headearnestly: „Theydo not havethisprobablyample- according to the north sidespreads the news that Holy Light Churchhad openly announced that stoodparticipates inthiscivil warinkingZhenying, Holy Church Army the followingkinggoes to the Holy Spirit Plaineasternbattlefieldnowtogether, is hittingwith the eastrebel armybustling.”高文只是开个玩笑,赫蒂却认真地摇了摇头:“那他们大概是没有这个余裕的-根据北边传来的消息,圣光教会已经公开宣布站在王阵营参与这场内战,圣教军现在跟着王一起上了圣灵平原东部的战场,正跟东部叛军打的热火朝天的。”Lowered the headto display their wisdom and braveryhalf-dayRebeccato catch1-2talkcontentswith the presentfoodat this timefinally, thisgirlraised the headsurprisedly, the whole facesprouted the circle: „Yeah? Haven't theyfired off? The easternarmyand is royal familyarmyalso hitting?”
低头跟眼前的食物斗智斗勇了半天的瑞贝卡这时候终于捕捉到了1-2谈话内容,这姑娘惊讶地抬起头,满脸萌圈:“哎?他们还没打完啊?东部军和王室的军队还打着呢?”Such remarks, by the tableperson is almost shockingneatlooks atshe, the Gawainlooks atRebeccathatquiteeasy to understandpureexpression, gawked for more than tensecondsto inquirewithsideHetty: „Hasn't thischildawaked?”
此言一出,餐桌旁的人几乎是震惊地齐刷刷看着她,高文看着瑞贝卡那相当好懂的单纯表情,足足愣了十几秒才跟旁边赫蒂打听:“这孩子还没睡醒呢?”Hettyis flowing the cold sweat: „...... Sheis busy the title of experiment, possiblyhas not watchedoutsidesituation......”赫蒂流着冷汗:“……她忙着实验项目,可能没怎么关注外面的局势……”Rebeccaat this timeconscioustooneselfpossiblywas the making a mistakesituation, sheshrank the neck, butcould not bearsay: „How longthishit...... to havethistimeweto hitentireSouthern Region, but alsodrove outHoly Light Churchwhile convenient......”瑞贝卡这时候才意识到自己可能是搞错情况了,她缩了缩脖子,但还是忍不住说道:“这都打多久了……有这个功夫咱们已经把整个南境打下来了啊,还顺便把圣光教会都赶出去了……”„Youcannotweigh the Ainzcivil war...... Gawainto look atRebeccaonewithourwarforms”reluctantly, „does not have the means that youare young, has not experiencedexcessivelytraditionalWar of the Aristocratsiswhat kind......”
“你不能用我们的战争形式来衡量安苏的内战……”高文无奈地看了瑞贝卡一眼,“不过也没办法,你还小,也没见识过传统的贵族战争是什么样的……”
The Ainzcivil warwas still continuing, the rebel army and kingare continuing the long-termcrosscut sawanddeadlockeastHoly Spirit Plain, chaosorHoly Light Church that no matterPrince Edmundmakesafter the Royal Capitalaristocratjoin a gambling game the situation of creatingchanges, is unable to makethiswarspeed upprogressing, without the accident/surprise, itverylikelywill continueto continue, evencontinuesto after several years,- this has no wayto avoid.安苏的内战仍然在持续,叛军和王在圣灵平原东部持续着长期的拉锯和僵持,不管是埃德蒙王子利用王都贵族制造的混乱还是圣光教会入局之后造成的局势变动,都无法让这场战争加快进展,如果没有意外,它很可能会继续持续下去,甚至持续到数年之后-这是没法避免的。Thistime„normal” the war is so, brutalbloody, butis also slow the long, cold weaponslowslaughteringefficiency and armyslowactionspeedwill leteachbattlebydrawingis very long, the gap between battlewill become is also very long, the cold weaponsarmy that twowill not have the decisivemilitary forcedisparitybit by bitwill wear downmutually, a weaponrywill hitmanyyearsto have the possibility.
这个时代“正常”的战争便是如此,残酷血腥,但又缓慢漫长,冷兵器低下的杀戮效率以及军队迟缓的行动速度让每一场战斗都会被拉的很久,战斗之间的间隙也变得很长,两支没有决定性武力差距的冷兵器军队一点一点地相互消磨,一场仗打多少年都有可能。Especiallythisis the civil war that is unable to compromiseandis unable cease, onein view of the civil war that the royal powerlaunches, cansay, so long as the grain and populationcan support, the warring partiesonwill draw in the vortexinevitable, till andhas projected on the physical strength in thiscountrydries up-, only ifin the battlehas a sideto be willingon own initiativeto give upto the position of throne.
尤其这还是一场无法调和、无法停息的内战,一场针对王权展开的内战,可以说,只要粮食和人口撑得住,交战双方就无可避免地会被拖入旋涡,并一直打到这个国家的气力枯竭为止-除非交战中有一方愿意主动放弃对王位的主张。Drawsmagicalcannonto go on stagelikeCecil Familydirectly, round of bombingsmashes the enemycompletemain forceandfortress„fastwar”, almostdoes not existinthistime.
像塞西尔家族这样直接拉着魔导巨炮上场,一轮轰炸端掉敌人全部主力和要塞的“快速战争”,在这个时代几乎是不存在的。„Thenthismatterset,”Gawain said that „northernDuchessandHoly Light Church‚Saintess Princess’...... presentFrost Monthhas crossed the larger part, whentheycame to beMist MonthCecil thewinter of citywill certainly maketheirimpressionprofound.”
“那么这件事就定下了,”高文说道,“北方女公爵和圣光教会的‘圣女公主’么……现在霜月已经过了一大半,等她们过来应该就是雾月了-塞西尔城的冬天一定会让她们印象深刻的。”
