Aldernan, obsidian palace. 奥尔德南,黑曜石宫。 Rare cloudless day, had the sunlight to scatter the mist that covered in the entire Aldernan area, the bright brilliance sprinkled from the horizon, penetrated the thin and superficial cloud layer, sprinkled in the garden in obsidian palace slantingly. 一个难得的晴天,有阳光驱散了笼罩在整个奥尔德南地区的薄雾,灿烂的光辉从天际洒下,穿透稀薄而浅淡的云层,斜斜地洒在黑曜石宫的庭院内。 In a palace small reception room, attendant opened the window that faces the garden, the fresh morning breeze across the shrubbery of out of the window, not slow does not insufflate the small hall anxiously, Roseta Augustus sits on the bench by the window, the profile was reflected brightly by the sunlight, seems plating glimmer. 宫殿一层的小花厅内,侍从打开了朝向庭院的窗户,清新的晨风穿过窗外的灌木丛,不急不缓地吹进小厅,罗塞塔・奥古斯都坐在靠窗的长椅上,半边脸被阳光映亮,仿佛镀着一层微光。 „Hardylan spread the news, he comes up empty-handed in the throat of Olandell,” Roseta raised the head, looks to sitting in oneself opposite Matilda, „before him, happen to the inspection factory near Olandell, actually still cannot detect when these Eternal Sleepers evacuate.” “哈迪伦传来了消息,他在奥兰戴尔之喉扑了个空,”罗塞塔抬起头,看向坐在自己对面的玛蒂尔达,“他之前正好在奥兰戴尔附近视察工厂,却仍然没能察觉那些永眠者是什么时候撤离的。” „If a secret organization has operated for 700 years in our Empire, when that they iron core wants the secret to evacuate, we first are hard to detect and intercept are the normal results,” Matilda sits well opposite of own father, the golden thin chain from sending the silk dangles, rocks golden light in broken bits by her cheeks, „I am only have not thought, Gawain Cecil will stand in all these back......” “如果一个隐秘组织已经在我们的帝国经营七百年,那么当他们铁了心要秘密撤离的时候,我们第一时间难以察觉和拦截就是正常的结果,”玛蒂尔达端坐在自己的父亲对面,金色的细链从发丝间垂下,在她脸颊旁晃动出细碎金光,“我只是没有想到,高文·塞西尔会站在这一切的背后……” Roseta looked at Matilda one: „Since the time judged, when the Eternal Sleepers mission encounters the accident/surprise, launches the exit strategy, you keep several days of Cecil city.” 罗塞塔看了玛蒂尔达一眼:“从时间判断,当永眠者教团遭遇意外、展开撤离计划的时候,也正是你留在塞西尔城的那几天。” Matilda cannot bear knit the brows, on the face shows some regrettable ashamed looks: „Was...... for several days I near Gawain Cecil, my anything has not actually detected......” 玛蒂尔达忍不住皱了皱眉,脸上露出有些遗憾羞愧的神色:“是……那些天我就在高文·塞西尔附近,我却什么都没察觉……” The Roseta expression is very indifferent: „If even your such young people can discover casually his secret, he was not Cecil's Emperor, Typhon can also rest easy.” 罗塞塔的表情却很淡然:“如果连你这样的年轻人都能随随便便发现他的秘密,那他就不是塞西尔的皇帝,提丰也可以高枕无忧了。” „The Gawain Cecil secret......” Matilda subconsciously is whispering, then lifts the eye, „father sovereign, ‚alien traveller’ this secret can be used to vacillate his rule authority, if he no longer is ‚Gawain Cecil’, then he will depend upon the support that the Developement Hero prestige will have certainly to be vacillated greatly, in addition he and Eternal Sleepers will have the relation, this point whether can also......” “高文·塞西尔的秘密……”玛蒂尔达下意识嘀咕着,接着抬起眼睛,“父皇,‘域外游荡者’这个秘密可以用来动摇他的统治权威,如果他不再是‘高文·塞西尔’,那么他依靠开拓英雄的威望得到的支持一定会大受动摇,此外他与永眠者存在联系,这一点是否也能……” Roseta raised the eyebrow, the eye of looks at Matilda, as if happy expression: „I remember that you had added a short time ago he is a kind and generous elder, made you learn a lot of things with his conversation.” 罗塞塔扬了扬眉毛,看着玛蒂尔达的眼睛,似乎略带笑意:“我记得你前不久还说过他是一位亲切而且慷慨的长辈,与他的交谈让你学会了很多东西。” „...... I did not deny that I have certain respect to him, no matter he really ‚Gawain Cecil’,” a Matilda face replied earnestly, „, but he also eventually is our opponents, not?” “……我不否认我对他有一定的尊敬,不管他是不是真的‘高文·塞西尔’,”玛蒂尔达一脸认真地回答,“但他也终究是我们的对手,不是么？” „...... Matilda, you somewhat grew,” Roseta calmly looked at own daughter moment, the corner of the eye holds the happy expression to say slowly, insufficient that also „ just you grow, something you spoke incorrectly. “……玛蒂尔达,你又有些成长了,”罗塞塔静静地看了自己的女儿片刻,眼角噙着笑意慢慢说道,“只不过你成长的还不够,有些事情你说错了。 „Our that ‚opponent’ , he when Southern Region rises truly is dependence ‚Gawain Cecil’ support that the status has, but he sits the Emperor position, depended is not ‚Gawain Cecil’ this status, he maintains to Empire rule, depended is not this name.” “我们那位‘对手’,他在南境崛起的时候确实是依靠‘高文·塞西尔’的身份得到的支持,但他坐上皇帝的位置,靠的可不是‘高文·塞西尔’这个身份,他维持对帝国的统治,靠的也不是这个名字。” Matilda has not responded suddenly, subconsciously asked one: „What he depends upon is......” 玛蒂尔达一时间没反应过来,下意识地问了一句:“那他依靠的是……” „Naturally is his army, the bureaucrat who his foster gets up vigorously, my child,” Roseta smiled suddenly, „you usually are not the response such slow- haven't you thought of these?” “当然是他的军队,还有他大力培养起来的官僚,我的孩子,”罗塞塔突然笑了起来,“你平常可不是反应这么迟钝的-你没想到这些？” Matilda complexion awkward: „I......” 玛蒂尔达脸色略带尴尬:“我……” „Doesn't matter, you are young,” Roseta shakes the head with a smile, „ like me said that making Emperor sit in that position, is not ‚good reputation’, good reputation naturally important, it to make your royal crown look more attractive, can let you in comfortably, but the military authority and can the political power that position treats are to decide you continue in the key aspect that position treats. It is a pity that the Gawain Cecil two have, moreover grasps very sturdily. “没关系,你还年轻,”罗塞塔笑着摇了摇头,“就像我说的,让一个皇帝坐在那个位置的,可不是什么‘好名声’,好名声当然重要,它可以让你的冠冕看起来更漂亮,也可以让你在那个位置待的更舒服一点,但军权和政权才是决定你能不能继续在那个位置待下去的关键因素。遗憾的是,高文·塞西尔二者都有,而且抓得非常牢靠。 „ If he lost to the army and control to the social order, that need not we begin, the old Ainz time stays behind will lose the people to jump to give him innumerably to settle a reputation of big group of usurpers, his ‚resurrecting’ certainly will also turn into the plot of devil. “如果他失去了对军队以及对社会秩序的控制,那不用我们动手,旧安苏时代留下的无数遗民就会跳出来给他安一大堆篡位者的名头,他的‘复活’也毫无疑问会变成魔鬼的阴谋。 „ If he firmly is controlling the army and social order, even if has many people to expose his secret again, still can only be ‚attempts restoration and evil intention of virulent intriguer slanders’, his ‚resurrecting’ can still be a miracle, when there is a need, even can be the miracle. “如果他牢牢控制着军队以及社会秩序,那即便有再多人揭露他的秘密,也只会是‘妄图复辟者及恶毒阴谋家的恶意污蔑’,他的‘复活’仍然会是一个奇迹,在有需要的时候,甚至可以是神迹。 „If considered again his these fruitful, the method of control public opinion as well as attraction will of the people, the child, you also felt only related ‚evil spirit comes back to life’ the rumor can vacillate Gawain Cecil rule? As far as I know, that day of him resurrecting, has not stopped with it similar rumor, what did these rumors produce to affect?” “而如果再考虑到他那些卓有成效的、控制舆论以及吸引人心的手段,孩子,你还觉得区区一个有关‘恶灵复生’的谣言可以动摇高文·塞西尔的统治么？据我所知,从他复活的那天起,与之类似的谣言就没停过,这些谣言产生什么作用了么？” Matilda exhibits the appearance that listens to reason modestly, listened to the Roseta words earnestly, when the opposite party said, asked: „But...... was this still an unusual important handle not? To us, this ‚secret’ is a very big unexpected benefit.” 玛蒂尔达摆出虚心受教的样子,认认真真听完了罗塞塔的话,等对方说完之后才问道:“但……这仍然是一个非常重要的把柄不是么？对我们而言,这个‘秘密’是个很大的意外收获。” „Right, important handle...... actually cannot produce the handle that too affected greatly a very much, moreover as you said that this harvest was only ‚accident/surprise’,” Roseta Augustus nods gently, „if, therefore we really want to make anything with it, then did not want ‚to do personally’, this was unworthy, Gawain Cecil and his specialized were used to control the department affirmation of intelligence to prepare public opinion counterattacking, even the slightest misstep, our losses will instead be older than him ; Next, do not expect sword arts that the good result, such as you learn/study, will not have any move of winning knack facing battle of powerful enemy , the advantage needs to accumulate slowly, moreover every so often we accumulate even is not the advantage, but won time for the accumulated advantage.” “没错,一个很重要的把柄……却也是产生不了太大作用的把柄,而且如你所说,这个收获只是‘意外’而已,”罗塞塔・奥古斯都轻轻点了点头,“所以如果我们真想用它做点什么,那么一定不要‘亲自’去做,这不值得,高文·塞西尔和他那个专门用来控制情报的部门肯定已经做好了舆论反制的准备,稍有不慎,我们的损失反而会比他还大;其次,不要期待太好的结果,就如你所学习的剑术,面对强敌的战斗中是不会有什么一招致胜的诀窍的,优势需要慢慢累积,而且很多时候我们累积的甚至不是优势,只是为累积优势争取了一点时间罢了。” Matilda calmly is listening, on the face shows look looking pensive, she hears oneself father to say to oneself with a meaningful tone: „Matilda, governs Empire, needed is not only the iron hand and vigorous and resolute, more often, you also need to be patient and discrete.” 玛蒂尔达静静听着,脸上露出若有所思的神色,她听到自己的父亲用一种意味深长的语气对自己说道:“玛蒂尔达,治理一个帝国,需要的不仅仅是铁腕与雷厉风行,更多时候,你还需要耐心和谨慎。” Matilda subconsciously nods, but responded anything suddenly, opened the eye to look to Roseta: „Father sovereign, you......” 玛蒂尔达下意识地点了点头,但突然反应过来什么,睁大眼睛看向罗塞塔:“父皇,您……” „I do not have other meaning,” Roseta calmly said, and shifted the topic suddenly, „if actually our intelligence right, we even possibly owed a Gawain Cecil favor.” “我没有别的意思,”罗塞塔静静说道,并突然转移了话题,“其实如果我们的情报没错,我们甚至可能欠了高文·塞西尔一次人情。” „Owed him one?” Matilda cannot bear asks with amazement, „what do you mean?” “欠了他的人情？”玛蒂尔达忍不住惊讶地问道,“您这是什么意思？” „...... From Month of Cold, you have experienced several nightmares last ten days of the month?” Roseta asked. “……从冷冽之月下旬起,你经历过几次噩梦？”罗塞塔问道。 „...... Only has twice,” Matilda thinks, although perplexed, but replied earnestly, „the beforehand curse strength had once grown stronger, but the influence of curse after Month of Cold restored the original design...... even possibly to weaken last ten days of the month, my nightmare duration shortening.” “……只有两次,”玛蒂尔达想了想,虽然不明所以但还是认真回答道,“之前诅咒力量曾增强过,但在冷冽之月下旬后诅咒的影响就恢复了原样……甚至可能更削弱了一些,我的噩梦持续时间变短了。” „Pesters our family's throat of curse from Olandell, old Imperial Capital from avalanche, but now we know, these degenerate Dreamland Priest had not gone to other place in the past two centuries, they in that ruins deep place, have been studying the thing of taboo continually- intelligence that Lord Bohmeier provides indicated, was Eternal Sleepers own research caused a disaster of god disaster rank, therefore they have to ’ seek help from ‚ alien traveller, but all these time lines, tallied exactly fluctuation of a period of time curse strength.” “纠缠我们家族的诅咒来自奥兰戴尔之喉,来自崩塌的旧帝都,而现在我们知道,那些堕落的梦境神官在过去的两个世纪里没有去别的地方,他们一直在那片废墟深处,持续研究着禁忌的东西-博迈尔勋爵提供的情报表明,是永眠者自己的研究导致了一次神灾级别的灾害,所以他们才不得不向‘域外游荡者’求助,而这一切的时间线,都恰好吻合了最近一段时间诅咒力量的波动。” The Matilda look enforces gradually. 玛蒂尔达的眼神渐渐严肃起来。 „According to the analysis of imperial adviser, the disaster that if these dark Priest cause erupts, the entire Augustus family will bear the massive loss for this reason, but all these have not erupted...... Roseta to say finally” slowly, and with carefully examining the eye is gazing at the response of Matilda, „Gawain Cecil has his own goal, he for is not free help that we provide ‚’, but from fact, us owed him one.” “根据皇家顾问的分析,如果那些黑暗神官引发的灾难爆发出来,整个奥古斯都家族都会为此承受巨大的损失,而这一切最终都没有爆发……”罗塞塔慢慢说道,并用审视的眼睛注视着玛蒂尔达的反应,“高文·塞西尔有他自己的目的,他为我们提供的不是‘无偿帮助’,但从事实上,我们欠了他一个人情。” The Matilda expression seems a little strange, does not seem to know how should respond to father's words, but in several seconds silent after thinking, she shakes the head: „Favor can use the favor, Empire benefit is different.” 玛蒂尔达的表情显得有点怪异,似乎不知该如何回应父亲的话,但在几秒钟的沉默与思索之后,她还是摇了摇头:“人情可以用人情还,帝国的利益不一样。” „This is you replies today best one time,” the Roseta serious expression relaxes, „is busy at your own matter- accompanied my verbose father to say such long words, you were also tired.” “这是你今天回答最好的一次,”罗塞塔严肃的表情缓和下来,“去忙你自己的事情吧-陪我这个絮絮叨叨的父亲说了这么久的话,想必你也累了。” „Talked with you make me harvest forever many,” Matilda stood up, profoundly bows to Roseta, „I first drew back, father sovereign.” “与您交谈永远让我收获甚多,”玛蒂尔达站起身,深深地向罗塞塔鞠了一躬,“那么我就先退下了,父皇。” Roseta beckons with the hand gently, Matilda left this under the sunlight and flower fragrance cover the small hall. 罗塞塔轻轻摆了摆手,玛蒂尔达离开了这间在阳光和花香笼罩下的小厅。 In the room is peaceful, the only morning beautiful sunlight are accompanying already no longer young Roseta Augustus, this Typhon rule calmly sat the moment in the quiet atmosphere, later rotates the line of sight slowly, the vision falls on the present round table. 房间中安静下来,只余上午明媚的阳光陪伴着已经不再年轻的罗塞塔・奥古斯都,这位提丰统治者在静谧的气氛中静静地坐了片刻,随后才慢慢转动视线,目光落在眼前的圆桌上。 Printing is fine, the big book of superficial bronzing calmly lies down there, is bathing in the Aldernan uncommon beautiful sunlight. 一本印刷精致、表面烫金的大书静静地躺在那里,沐浴着在奥尔德南并不常见的明媚阳光。 This is Matilda the gift of Cecil bringing, is that „Gawain Cecil” gives own. 这是玛蒂尔达从塞西尔带回来的礼物,是那位“高文·塞西尔”送给自己的。 „You are really lucky,” Roseta smiled suddenly gently, puts out a hand to take up that book, while talk to oneself, „entire Aldernan is clearing to greet you.” “你真幸运,”罗塞塔突然轻轻笑了起来,一边伸手拿起那本书,一边自言自语着,“整个奥尔德南都放晴来迎接你。” His vision has swept in the pages, the party line of orderly writing maps his view- 他的目光在书页间扫过,一行行整齐的文字映入他的眼帘- „...... The country is the order collective, is contains the people and lands, takes the uniform cultural identity and benefit demand as the set of tie...... “……国家是秩序化的集体,是包含人民与土地在内,以一致性的文化认同和利益诉求为纽带的集合…… „Maintaining the social stability and development is one of the national rule class basic missions......” “维持社会稳定与发展是国家统治阶层的基本使命之一……” In the static small hall, was only left over slowly sound that changes the page. 静静的小厅中,慢慢只剩下了翻动书页的声音。 Long time, the sigh that is full of the inexplicable complex mood resounds in the small hall: „I can understand you to say anything......” 良久,才有一声饱含着莫名复杂情绪的叹息在小厅中响起:“我能看懂你想说什么……” ...... …… „Sir Gorosh, Ashlina lady, hopes that you in being familiar with that also the autumn palace lives,” in the reception room in Cecil palace, Gawain looks at present Ambassador Dragon descendant said with smile on the face, „we are limited to Sacred Dragon Duchy that side manners and customs understanding, if there is an arrangement inconsiderately, please open the mouth although.” “戈洛什爵士,阿莎蕾娜女士,希望你们在秋宫住的还习惯,”塞西尔宫的会客室中,高文面带微笑地看着眼前的龙裔大使说道,“我们对圣龙公国那边的风俗习惯了解有限,如果有安排不周,请尽管开口。” „No, your entertainments have satisfied us,” Sir Gorosh is smiling relaxed, „we can feel the Cecil's sincerity and friendly- as initial contact, this is a very good beginning.” “不,你们的招待已经让我们非常满意了,”戈洛什爵士语气轻松地笑着,“我们能感受到塞西尔的诚意和友善-作为初次接触,这是个非常好的开端。” „That is good,” Gawain nods, yesterday's exchanging greetings and smalltalk had ended, today is to discuss the proper business time, therefore he is also quick then enters the subject, „that makes us start directly Cecil the Empire hope and Sacred Dragon Duchy establish closer relations, not only a single business, not only sends Envoy several times, we hope that establishes quite stable commercial channel between two countries, this to the level of living and national economy of people of both countries is good.” “那就好,”高文点了点头,昨日的寒暄与客套已经结束,今天是谈论正事的时候,所以他也很快便进入正题,“那让我们直接开始吧-塞西尔帝国希望和圣龙公国建立更加紧密的关系,不只是一单生意,不只是多派几次使者,我们希望在两个国家之间建立起比较稳定的商业通道,这对两国人民的生活水平以及国家经济都有好处。” Sir Gorosh appreciates the speech way that Gawain comes straight to the point like this obviously very much, in conscious to this new student/life „Cecil Empire” not like material after the human country description fills over-detailed formalities and stale custom, his attitude also becomes relaxed and direct: „Said honestly, this is also the Balogher Grand Duke Wish Sacred Dragon Duchy although not frequently and exchange, but this does not mean that we are the seal are stubborn, we have the curiosity to the outside world, is interested in magical technology of your country very much. But does not know you in both countries ‚commercial channel’ does have the conception of what kind? Is straightforwarder, what did you plan to sell to our?” 戈洛什爵士显然很欣赏高文这样开门见山的说话方式,在意识到这个新生的“塞西尔帝国”并不像资料里对人类国度描述的那样充满繁文缛节和陈腐规矩之后,他的态度也变得轻松且直接起来:“坦白说,这也正是巴洛格尔大公的意愿-圣龙公国虽然并不经常和外界交流,但这并不意味着我们是封闭顽固的,我们也对外界有好奇心,也对贵国的魔导技术很感兴趣。但不知道您对两国之间的‘商业通道’有什么样的构想？或者更直白点,您打算卖给我们什么呢？” Gawain corner of the mouth turned upwards slightly, showed the sincere and happy smile. 高文嘴角微微翘起,露出了真诚且愉快的微笑。 Facing business partner time, he always smiles is very sincere. 面对商业伙伴的时候,他总是笑的很真诚。 „Knight, you come time once took our magical trains- are you interested in it?” “爵士,你们来的时候曾经乘坐我们的魔导列车-你们对它感兴趣么？” Sir Gorosh and Ashlina looked at one mutually. 戈洛什爵士和阿莎蕾娜相互看了一眼。 „After......” two seconds, Gorosh blinks, the nod said, „that is very mysterious thing, has very obvious use, we naturally interested.” “啊……”两秒钟后,戈洛什才眨眨眼,点头说道,“那是很神奇的东西,有着非常明显的用途,我们自然是有兴趣的。” Gawain is smiling, hints nearby attendant to deliver several materials: „Then in view of your interests, we have one perfect investment project.” 高文微笑着,示意一旁的侍从送上来几份资料:“那么针对贵方的兴趣,我们有一套完善的投资方案。” ( Recommended a book, «Side Song Qunxia Biography» that the planting flowers panda wrote, author was Lebanese Ming edition friend, brings knight-errant system crossed over to story that the end of Northern Song farmed, everyone can friendship support.)
