由于环绕大地的魔力有着周期性的起伏,在晴朗的冬夜,往往能看到比夏夜更多的星星。In the curtain of nightwithoutwind, the black inkblueskyproliferatescrowd of stars, thatcarrying/sustaining the starry skies of a lot ofyears of Human Raceinnumerablemagnificentfantasyonsuch asare backing off a colored glazeinthisworld, clearbeautiful is actually unattainable, the man-madelightsare glitteringinthisnew student/lifecity, as ifgroupstarin a ProjectionVeronica ofMortal Worldcalmlystands and waits for a long timeinthisplaceto herreallyfor the strangecity, lightHoly Lightsurroundsinherside, is isolating the coldair in winter.
在没有风的夜幕中,墨蓝色的天空遍布群星,那片承载着千百年人类无数瑰丽幻想的星空就如倒扣在这个世界上的一层琉璃,澄澈美丽却又遥不可及,人造的灯火在这座新生的城市中闪烁着,仿佛群星在人间的一片投影-维罗妮卡静静地伫立在这座对她而言甚为陌生的城市中,淡淡的圣光环绕在她身边,隔绝着冬日里的寒冷空气。Calmpowerful the sound of footsteps that and has not covered upfromtransmitsbehind, broadcastthatdying and being rebornFounding Grand Dukesound: „Doesn't like the environment in banquet?”
一阵沉稳有力而且并未遮掩的脚步声从身后传来,紧接着传来了那位死而复生的开国大公的声音:“不喜欢宴会上的环境?”„DukeYour Excellency,”Veronicaturns around, sheshows a tranquilindifferentsmile, delimitsGod of Holy Lightcrestin the chest front, „hopesGod of Holy Lightblessingyou- thisis a verygoodevening banquet, butIlike the peacefulenvironment.”
“公爵阁下,”维罗妮卡转过身来,她露出一丝恬静淡然的微笑,在胸前划出圣光之神的徽记,“愿圣光之神祝福您-这是一场很棒的晚宴,但我更喜欢安静一些的环境。”„God of Holy Light......”Gawainmutteredin a low voice, later the eye of looks atVeronica, „does Italsomeetblessingnot to believeItsperson?”
“圣光之神么……”高文低声咕哝了一句,随后看着维罗妮卡的眼睛,“祂也会祝福不信祂的人么?”Present„Saintess Princess”toGawainis a characteras deep as a well, sheis the talentoutstandingroyal familychildren, isdevoutHoly Lightbeliever, sheisHoly Light Churchyoungestliving saint, isin the innumerableHoly Lightbelievermindmost perfectSaintess Princess, havingtoomanyhalocovers, inthisis not bigger than Rebeccamanyonfemale, howeverinonly has a nihility that underthatmagnificentstrikinghalo...... Gawaincansee.
眼前的“圣女公主”对高文而言是个难以捉摸的人物,她是天赋卓绝的王室子女,也是虔诚的圣光信徒,她是圣光教会最年轻的活圣人,更是无数圣光信徒心目中最完美的圣女公主,有太多光环笼罩在这个并不比瑞贝卡大多少的女子身上,然而在那辉煌醒目的光环下面……高文所能看到的却只有一片虚无。Hecannot completely understand the Veronicatrueintentionandaction-, although all words and deeds of opposite partyconform to„Saintess Princess”this„personto suppose”perfectly, the gem that butthatallwords and deedsas ifcarvecarefully, perfectdoes not have the meatbloodless, in the conversation of short distance, healwayscannot listen tothisPrincessanytruemoodfluctuation and personal preference, hecanfeelforeverisunrelieved„pure and holyandwarmth”, butisthistypeinvariablepure and holyis warmforever, was feltinthisPrincesssoulbyGawainas ifonly thenice-cold.
他看不透维罗妮卡真正的意图和行动-尽管对方的一切言行都完美地符合“圣女公主”这个“人设”,但那所有的言行都仿佛是精心雕琢的宝石,完美无瑕却无血无肉,在近距离的交谈中,他从来听不出这位公主任何真正的情绪波动和个人好恶,他能感受到的永远都是毫无变化的“圣洁与温暖”,但就是这种永远不变的圣洁温暖,才让高文觉得这位公主灵魂中似乎只有一片冰冷。Reallyisbecause the belief of Veronicais extremely reverent, alreadyheterogenitylikeHoly Spirit?
难道真的是因为维罗妮卡的信仰太过虔诚,以至于已经异质化的如同一个圣灵?Gawaindoes not believe that thereforehe decided that whenexchangeswithVeronicauses a more directwayto testherattitude, whathowevermadehisdisappointedwas, the expression on Veronicafacestilltranquilindifferent, the tone has almost not changed: „God of Holy Lightmeetsregardsalllivesequally, regardless of the letter/believesordoes not believe that It there, byjusticeweightmyriad things.”高文并不这么认为,因此他决定在和维罗妮卡交流的时候用更加直接的方式来试探她的态度,然而令他失望的是,维罗妮卡脸上的表情仍然恬静淡然,语气也几乎没有变化:“圣光之神会平等地看待一切生灵,不论信或不信,祂都在那里,以公义衡量万物。”„Includinghanding over the redemption moneypoor person?”Gawainaskedlightly.
“包括交不起赎罪金的穷人么?”高文淡淡地问道。„God of Holy Lightdoes not need the Mortal Worldmoney, butChurchneed- however the goodset offpointmay notbring the goodresult, thesebeliefinsufficientlyfirmPriestbymoneycorrupt, redemption moneywill also be turned into the amassing moneymethodinsome areas is also the facts, wetrulynoticedthis point, andhas been beginningto solve.”
“圣光之神不需要人间的金钱,但教会需要-然而好的出发点不一定会带来好的结果,那些信仰还不够坚定的神官会被金钱腐化,赎罪金在部分地区变成敛财手段也是事实,我们确实注意到了这一点,并已经在着手解决了。”Thisisperfectreply- withdoes not defendsituated in the defense, andpromised a justicealsonot to have the commitment of deadline, obviously, believedGod of Holy Lighthighly skilled of Saintess Princessalsodevotionallyin the lordlinesscirclingwordstechnique.
这是完美的回答-介于辩护与不辩护之间,并许下一个正义又没有期限的承诺,显然,虔诚信仰圣光之神的圣女公主在贵族式的兜圈子话术上也技艺精湛。Gawainhas not continuedto pesterinthistopic, butaskeddirectly: „Whatviewyourmatterto the Luan cityhas?”高文没有继续在这个话题上纠缠,而是直接问道:“你们对卢安城发生的事情有什么看法?”Even the sostraightforwardtopic, the Veronicaindifferentattitudestill has almost no change: „PopeYour Excellencywatches the Southern Regionsituationvery much- in the past, welost the news of Southern Regionchurch parishthoroughly, butintelligence that latertransmitsmadepeopleveryanxious. DukeYour Excellency, wehave no intentionininterveningyourrule, butwemustbe responsible forSouthern Regionhundreds of thousands ofbeliever.”
即便是如此直截了当的话题,维罗妮卡淡然的态度也几乎没什么变化:“教皇冕下很关注南境的局势-在过去的一段时间里,我们彻底失去了南境教区的消息,而之后传来的情报则令人很不安。公爵阁下,我们无意于干预您的统治,但我们必须对南境的数十万信徒负责。”„Southern Regionhundreds of thousands ofbelieverpassnowverywell, moreovertheywere still believingHoly Light, mostHoly LightChurch on thislandswere still revolvingnormally- preachedto conduct with the riteas scheduled,”Gawainsaid,„the onlydifferencewas, the peopleformulated the rulewiththeirchoices.”
“南境的数十万信徒现在过得很好,而且他们仍然信仰着圣光,这片土地上的大部分圣光教堂也仍然在正常运转着-布道与祭典都在如期进行,”高文说道,“唯一的不同是,人民用他们自己的选择重新制定了规则。”Veronicacalmlylooks atGawain'seye: „Do theyformulate the rule the wayincludingbreakingLuan cityChurchas well asstrangletherePriest?”维罗妮卡静静地看着高文的眼睛:“他们制定规则的方式包括打破卢安城的教堂以及绞死那里的神官么?”„Luan cityPriestare not willingto obey the new regulation not to die, thistrulymakespeopleveryawkward, butIstillfeltveryregretabout the matter of Luan city,”Gawainspreads out the hand, will takemakingAmberandPittmanwill sayas the confidentattitude that itwill exclaim in surprise,„Priest in Cathedralusedmanybloodycruelmethodsto maintain the authority, amassed wealth by heavy taxation the wealth, Ibelieve that theywerethatyou just mentioned‚belief was not very firm’Priest, IshouldcorrecttheirwrongbypreventingthemearlyonabandoningGodsroad/smorewalkam farther, howeverregrettablypeople. The angerfirsthithigh.”
“卢安城的神官们不肯服从新规又不肯去死,这确实让人很为难,但我仍然对卢安城发生的事情感到很遗憾,”高文摊开手,以令琥珀和皮特曼都会为之惊叹的坦然态度说道,“大教堂里的神官用了很多血腥残暴的手段来维持权威,聚敛财富,我相信他们就是你刚才提到的那种‘信仰还不够坚定’的神官,我应该及早纠正他们的错误以防止他们在背弃神明的道路上越走越远,然而令人遗憾的是人民的愤怒首先达到了高点。”
A Gawainsigh , to continue saying: „WhenLuan cityhaschaos, myarmystrictly observes‚can not attackChurch’ the orderto be stationed outside the cityveryfarplace- thisisbecauseLuanCathedralPriestforbidusto approachfrom the beginning- afterward the situationlost the control, myKnight and soldiersmake best effortto rescue, becausewhat a pitypathYuanqiangis high, finallycannotrescueoneperson.”高文一声叹息,继续说道:“在卢安城发生混乱的时候,我的军队严守‘不得进攻教堂’的命令而驻扎在城外很远的地方-这是因为卢安大教堂的神官们从一开始就禁止我们靠近-后来局势失去了控制,我的骑士和士兵们尽了最大的努力去救援,可惜由于路远墙高,最终未能救起一人。”To be honest, has very shortflash, Gawainis that certainoneselfsaw the astonishment of a faint tracein the Veronicaeyegroundfinally.
说实话,有那么非常短暂的一瞬间,高文可以肯定自己终于在维罗妮卡眼底看到了一丝丝的惊愕。Howeverthisastonishedalmostthenabatesimmediately, Saintess Princesstonestillnotanxiously not slow: „Yourview...... has very novelangle.”
然而这惊愕几乎立刻便消退了,圣女公主的语气仍然不急不缓:“您的说法……有着很新颖的角度。”„Thisis the fact . Moreover the evidenceeverywhereis, andwhatimportantis, the Cecil'speoplelikenowthisaspect,”Gawainhas not thought that Veronica can still be indifferentin this case, butthisdid not hinderhimto continue, „in my opinion, the Luan cityorderwas assignednotimportantbywhom, the survivalandbenefit of peopleforeversurpassedso-called‚legitimacy’, ItoChurch- anyChurch- did not have the prejudice and hostility, Iwas gladto acceptanyChurchto surviveonmyland, buttheymustobeyhererule.”
“这是事实,而且证据到处都是,并且更重要的是,塞西尔的人民更喜欢现在这种局面,”高文没想到维罗妮卡在这种情况下仍能如此淡然,但这不妨碍他继续说下去,“在我看来,卢安城的秩序由谁指定并不重要,人民的生存和利益永远优于所谓的‘正统性’,我对教会-任何教会-都没有偏见和敌意,我乐于接受任何教会在我的土地上生存,但他们必须遵守这里的规则。”Gawainis willingto exchangewithVictoriaslowly, slowlynegotiated, because in his opinion, the kingdom's armythenguaranteedCecilcan the super client of rapid growth, but the super clientneedsto maintaincarefully, butheandVeronicaexchangedwill ejectownattitudedirectly-, becausehehugewas actually hardto squeeze out the benefitgroupreallydeficientpatiencetoHoly Light Churchthis.高文愿意和维多利亚慢慢交流,慢慢谈判,因为在他看来,王国军是接下来确保塞西尔能快速发展的大客户,而大客户是需要精心维持的,但他和维罗妮卡交流的时候则会直接抛出自己的态度-因为他对圣光教会这个庞大却又难以榨取利益的团体实在缺乏耐心。„The survival of peoplewas better than‚legitimacy’......”Veronicato repeatGawain'swords, laterraised the eyebrow, „thatthis‚custom’camefrom where?”
“人民的生存优于‘正统性’……”维罗妮卡重复了一遍高文的话,随后扬起眉毛,“那么这份‘规矩’又是从何而来的呢?”„700years ago, IandCharlieset.”
“七百年前,我和查理定下的。”„Then it seems like that this wasyourattitude,”after the silence of moment, Veronicasaidcalmly,„was impressive, moreoverinthistimequite...... bold. Ido not express the view, butIthink that Holy Light Cathedralafterknowingyourattitude will not be probably happy.”
“那么看来这就是您的态度了,”在片刻的沉默之后,维罗妮卡平静地说道,“令人印象深刻,而且在这个时代颇为……大胆。我对此不发表看法,但我想圣光大教堂在知道您的态度之后大概不会很高兴。”„Thatmustlook at how youregardedSouthern Region and entireAinzsituation,”Gawain said that „, butIhad a suggestion-, ifwere incapable ofchanging the present situation, might as wellstudyoptimistically, Southern RegionstillhadHoly Light Churchafter all- Ihave not pursuedanyPriestandPriest, theystillmovepreachingonthislandsuntil now, at least- no oneannounced that theywere the heresies.”
“那就要看你们如何看待南境和整个安苏的局势了,”高文说道,“但我有一个建议-如果无力改变现状,不如学着乐观一点,毕竟南境仍然是有圣光教会的-我从没有驱逐过任何一个神官和牧师,他们至今仍然在这片土地上活动传教,至少-没有任何人宣布他们是异端。”Veronicalooks atGawain: „...... YouwantHoly Light Cathedralto tacitly approve the SouthChurchindependence.”维罗妮卡看着高文:“……您是要圣光大教堂默认南方教会的独立。”„Youhave the rightto announceorallydid not acknowledgethis matter, Idid not mind.”
“你们有权在口头上宣布不承认此事,我不介意。”Veronicahad the slightastonishmentagain, latershesmiles: „The attitude that your andItalkedmayprevioustimebe stronger than- to the younger generationcan'ttemperate?”维罗妮卡再次有了些微的惊愕,随后她微笑起来:“您这次和我谈话的态度可比上次强硬多了-对晚辈不能温和一点么?”„Iwith the spokesmanspeech of Holy Light Church, the spokesmanam without rank,”Gawainalsosmiles, andslowed down the toneslightly, „, butIam speakingto the younger generationnowVeronica, youcanlive insomedayshere, understandsthislandsmuch.

Ifyoutreatsomedayshere, someopportunitieswill understandprobablyyourancestoronceembracedwhat kind ofidealis running out ofthatpiece of wasteland- besideGod of Holy Light, shouldhave the thing that is worth paying attention.”
“我是在和圣光教会的代言人说话,代言人没有辈分,”高文同样微笑起来,并稍微放缓了语气,“而现在我是在对晚辈说话了-维罗妮卡,你可以在这里多住些日子,多多了解这片土地。你的先祖,查理?摩恩曾经致力于打造一片能够让人民安居乐业的家园,然而讽刺的是我在这个时代竟几乎找不到这样的地方,以至于我不得不亲自动手。如果你在这里多待一些日子,大概会有机会了解一下你的祖先曾经是抱持着怎样的理想冲出那片废土的-在圣光之神之外,也应有值得你关注的东西。”Veronicaslightlysilentseveralseconds, whenas ifGawainmentioned„ancestor”thiswordshereallyreceivedtouched, latershebends the waistslightlytoGawain- by the younger generationto the stance that the eldersaluted, shesaidin a soft voice: „Iwill usemyeyeto judge.”维罗妮卡微微沉默了数秒钟,似乎当高文提到“祖先”这个词的时候她真的受了一些触动,随后她对高文微微弯下腰来-以晚辈对长辈行礼的姿态,她轻声说道:“我会用自己的眼睛去判断的。”Afterwardshethenleft.
随后她便离开了。AfterVeronicaleaves, onegroup of dimshadowswrigglesideGawain, andswiftlycondenses the Amberform, thisHalf-Elfblinks the direction that eyelooks atVeronicais leaving, mutteredin a low voice: „Isuspected that shecanseeme......”
在维罗妮卡离开之后,一团朦胧的阴影在高文身旁蠕动起来,并迅速凝聚成琥珀的身影,这个半精灵眨巴着眼睛看着维罗妮卡离开的方向,低声咕哝:“我怀疑她能看到我……”„Shemaynot look atonetowardyou.”
“她可始终没朝你看一眼。”„ThereforeIsaid that shenoticedI- shelooked atalldirections, onlywithoutlooking atme,”Amberis forking the waist, a facesaidspecialized,laterrevealspuzzledlookto come, whatattitude„however...... this‚is Saintess Princess’? Youtowere so direct, she who shesaidactuallyalsohad nobeing angrylook, was difficultto be inadequatesheactuallyalsoveryto approveyour?”
“所以我才说她看到我了-她看了所有的方向,唯独没有看我,”琥珀叉着腰,一脸专业地说道,随后又露出困惑的模样来,“不过话说回来……这个‘圣女公主’到底算是什么态度?你跟她都说的那么直接了,她竟然还没什么生气的模样,难不成她其实还挺认可你的?”„No, shehad not revealed that anyattitude,”Gawainis shaking the head, „, no matterIsaidanythingtoher, even ifmustburn downHoly Light Cathedralorannouncesis convertedGod of Holy Light, perhapsshewill not reveal that anyattitude...... thispersonismost difficult to deal with, becauseis unable to forecast.”
“不,她从来没有表露出任何态度,”高文摇着头,“不管我对她说什么,哪怕是要烧毁圣光大教堂或者宣布皈依圣光之神,她恐怕都不会表露出任何态度……这种人是最难对付的,因为无法预测。”„, ThereforeIdo not likezealot,”Ambercurls the lipdiscontentedly, „is also good atdeceiving peoplecompared with the swindler.”
“嘁,所以我不喜欢神棍,”琥珀不满地撇了撇嘴,“比骗子还擅长骗人。”„Compared withthis, has the situationtonight?”
“比起这个,今夜有情况么?”„Theirwith great difficultycrossesFort Boulder, arrives in your old dumpling (corpse)supreme headquarters, naturallywants‚to walkto have a look at’one,”Amberis beckoning with the handnegligently, „Ialsonoticed that ripeface- theyare well-mannered, basicallydoes not have the place that extremelyoversteps, military intelligence agency officer and steelrangersis staringfrom afar, Iwill also continueto stare.”
“他们好不容易越过磐石要塞,来到你这老粽子的大本营里,当然是要‘走走看看’一番啦,”琥珀大咧咧地摆着手,“我还看到熟面孔了呢-不过他们还算规矩,基本上没有太过逾越的地方,军情局干员和钢铁游骑兵们都只是远远地盯着,我也会继续盯着的。”„Thatis good.”
“那就好。”

“安居乐业的家园么……”领主府的庭院中,离开露台却没有返回晚宴厅的维罗妮卡在静谧的夜色中沿着花坛慢慢走着,在某个水池边缘她停下了脚步,抬起头看着远方城区里的万家灯火,轻声自言自语起来,“这座城……真像啊……”

眺望许久之后,她从那些魔晶石灯火中收回视线,迈开脚步继续向前走去,然而另外一团有别于魔晶石灯的光芒却从另一个方向映入了她的眼帘,让她的脚步再次停了下来。Thatis a whole bodyis floodingsparkle the bigform of arcane energy, hisbodycastslike the energy, massiveRunic Armourpiecesare similarsometype of sealto maintainhisHuman Racephysique, butbythisbigform, a femalewithwhite hairshawl.
那是一个浑身充斥着闪耀的奥术能量的高大身影,他的身躯如同能量所铸,大量符文护甲片则仿佛某种封印般维持着他的人类形体,而在这个高大的身影旁边,则跟着一位白发披肩的女性。

在维罗妮卡看着卡迈尔的时候,卡迈尔也在观察着眼前这位似乎是在散步的“圣女公主”,双方互相观察了许久,直到维罗妮卡收回视线,卡迈尔才主动打破沉默:“晚上好,公主殿下-宴会厅里太闷了么?”Hears the voice of opposite party, Veronicais maintainingthatforever the appropriatesmile, shesalutes: „Breathes the fresh airto be beneficial to the health, GrandmasterCarmel, Your Excellency is also breathes the fresh air?”
听到对方的声音,维罗妮卡保持着自己那永远得体的微笑,她施了一礼:“呼吸一下新鲜空气有益于健康,卡迈尔大师,阁下也是来呼吸新鲜空气的么?”„...... Mytheseyearsdo not breathe, Carmelhumming sound said that andbefore the awkwardatmospherespreadsleanedslightly a body, „ myside is Cecil'sGrandmasterrune, Jenny? MissPerrault.”

“您……您好,”詹妮有些紧张又有些生疏地提起裙摆行了一礼,尽管当初作为“百人援建团”一员时她也曾见过维罗妮卡一面,但那时她可没机会跟这位传说中的公主殿下面对面交谈,“很高兴认识您。”„I am also, MissJenny.”
“我也是,詹妮小姐。”

短暂的寒暄与客套之后,双方错身而过。„Inervousdieda moment ago,”untilwalkingwas very far, Jennylowers the sound saying that „Your HighnessPrincess is truly kind......”

“是么?我没注意,”卡迈尔声音低沉,“我只是从她身上感到了一种……熟悉而令人不舒服的气息。”„aura? Whataura?”
“气息?什么气息?”„God- sheis either concernedwith the god, either went to the godterritory.”
“神-她要么与神有关,要么去过神域。”
