区区一队贵族骑兵自然无权带他们去见当地的领主,埃鲁因的一位男爵大人。AlthoughBrandosaid that ‚Viscount of Stingridge’- fromnortherntravelnoblehence, Cripplegiveshisforgesealprocedurealsoto have it all, evenissueskingdomChamber of Noblesseems like finer than andreal.

虽然布兰多自称‘斯廷冈子爵’-一个来自北方旅行至此的贵族,跛子给他伪造的印章手续也一应俱全,甚至比王国贵族议院下发的看起来更加精美、真实。不过贵族有贵族的架子,一时的等待对于双方而言都是必须的。

在蛮荒之中,人类依托城堡与要塞来防御野兽、魔物与蛮族的攻击。Brandoonegroup has dinedafter the inn, the officialinvitation of Baron Grudinalsodelivers.

Howeverlaughablewasthisgroup has also seen the Silver Elfantiquityguard, what was this?布兰多左右环视一眼,心想好大的排场,看得出来对方有意要给他们一个下马威。不过可笑是自己这一行人连银精灵的上古卫队也见过,这又算什么?youngsterturns a blind eyeto walk.

“让开。”Scarlettpulls, has thrown the sandbag the same as losethisConfucian codemilitary iffucerprobably. After everyonehears a dull thumping sound, followslow and deepwailing.茜手一扯,已经将这名教官长像是丢沙包一样丢了出去。所有人都听到一声闷响后伴随着一声低沉的哀嚎。„Blockshim-!”

两排重甲卫兵脸色一变,立刻一挺肩膀拦了上来。他们想要拦住那个一步未停的年轻人,可愿望美好,现实却如此残酷。布兰多向前,这些人只要一碰到他就立刻被撞飞出去。As iftheybump intois notseeminglygentlenobleyoungster, butisdragon.
仿佛他们碰上的不是一个看起来文质彬彬的贵族年轻人,而是一头巨龙似的。70strengths, high Silver rankstrength, ifinAnsonyears, BrandoiskingdomyouthKnightsmember. So long asinonestep, canenter the upper-levelcircle the power core. Howeversincelivesin the tumultuous times, thisroadwas different.
70力量,白银上阶的实力,若是在安森时代,布兰多就是王国青年骑士团的成员。只要在一步,就能进入上层圈子的权力核心。不过既然生在乱世,这条路就不一样了。Butitis surely unprecedented.
但它必定是一往无前的。Brandoforwards, in the for a momentgarden a piece of pingpongchaoticsound, wears the heavy armorguardsto get downto fallonepiecebackwardbut actually.

大门紧闭着,或许准备为他开门的人此刻正躺在地上呻吟。不过没关系,既然没人给他开门,布兰多想也不想直接一脚将门踹开-他记得以前自己也是这么进公会的议事厅的。‚Bang’ an emptyloud sound, the hall of nobody leftpresentsin front ofBrando.
‘砰’一声空荡荡的巨响,空无一人的大厅呈现在布兰多面前。

……„Oh, is really uncouthly!”
“哎哟,真是粗鲁!”Behind a Fangleaf of arched windowin the castle, a wearrobemiddle-aged personlifts the corner/horn of window curtainsto look atfollowingthisinterestingly-, althoughwas sighing, but the azure-greyeyeballis actually exuding the cold light.

在城堡上方某一扇拱窗背后,一个穿着长袍的中年人掀开窗帘的一角饶有兴趣地看着下面这一幕-虽然是在感叹,但青灰色的眼珠子却泛着冷光。他手中托着一支高脚杯,杯中一抹鲜红晶莹剔透宛若血液,中年人摇晃着手腕,让液体的边沿不断起伏、变幻,与此前的另一道边沿重合。IfBrandonaturallycanrecognizethisperson of thatuniqueaquiline noseinthis, this seems Radnorfamily'suniquebloodline, cangive birth tosuch a hidden in the shadeface. The middle-aged personeye socketgets sucked, the fleshlooks likeallnoblethata total ofpalemorbid statescolors, the lookdeficientvigor, the beardvitalityis actually exuberant.
若是布兰多在此自然能认出此人那独特的鹰钩鼻来,这仿佛是让德内尔家族特有的血统,才能生出这样一副阴翳的面孔来。中年人眼眶深陷,肌肤就像是所有贵族那种共有的苍白病态的颜色,眼神缺乏活力,倒是胡子生机旺盛。„At leastundersilver the strength of step, about 20 years old.”On the side ofBaron Grudintraces the sheep's hornrecklessWeiweia littlecurledgewith the hand, asked: „What kind of?”
“至少白银下阶的实力,二十岁左右。”格鲁丁男爵一边用手摸了摸自己羊角胡微微有点卷曲边缘,问道:“怎么样?”He a staturejoyfullongmanshakes the headbehind: „Hehas not tried, thatred hairlittle girlis not simple. Howevermustbegin, about55open, butbestnot to begin.”
他身后一个身材欣长的男人摇摇头:“他没尽全力,那个红发小姑娘也不简单。不过要动手,大约五五开,不过最好别动手。”„Naturally,”Baron Grudinput out a handto bumpon the glasswindowwith the wine glass, as ifcheeredsamesends outto bite a lightsound: „Knows that myreputationalsodares is so arrogant, somebackgrounds. However the necessarylessonmustgive, well water not interfering with river waterand that's the end.”
“当然,”格鲁丁男爵伸手用酒杯在玻璃窗户上碰了一下,仿佛干杯一样发出叮一声轻响:“知道我的名头还敢如此飞扬跋扈,想必有些来头。不过必要的教训还是要给的,井水不犯河水就是了。”Heputs down the window curtains, has turned round: „How did Ilet the matter that youhandled?”
他放下窗帘,回过身:“我让你去办的事情怎么样了?”Manslightlybowlower part of the body: „Personhas sentin the morning, unsurprisingly, cancome backin the evening.”

“那最好。”格鲁丁男爵随手将玻璃杯子丢出去,杯子落到床边一个死去的女人身边。腥红的液体飞溅而出,随即浸润进地毯的纤维中,本就暗红色的地毯变得越发暗红起来-„Thismatteris the fatherSirrequests, must manageperfectly.”

他心中想的却是那个老不死究竟什么时候才决定领地的继承人,不过让他失望的是仿佛年纪越大,让德内尔伯爵反而越发精明起来。不然他早就动手把自己的兄弟们全都毒死了。Thatgroup of idiots.

大厅中央垂下一盏用暗红色水晶雕琢的灯饰,精致得近乎奢华,水晶中有符文的成分-因此自然是魔法用品;穹顶的装饰风格来自于复古安森时代的宗教风潮,由上向下分别是天体星辰,神话传说以及圣人的经卷,最下层是一百八十根圆柱,象征着一百八十个星座。

参与宴请的还有不少人,除了格鲁丁男爵的骑士之外,大多是当地的士绅贵族。这些人除了少部分在科尔科瓦王朝之后受封的名誉贵族之外,大多都是格鲁丁的得力助手。不过布兰多知道,这家伙真正的心腹恐怕还不在这里。那些人要么藏头露尾,要么就干脆为他统治一方。Although the Trentheimareais not big, butcontainsevery large or smallterritory more than 20.

双方皮笑肉不笑的寒暄之后男爵就宣布宴会开始,名义自然是为所谓的‘廷斯冈子爵’接风洗尘。

仆人端上来的菜肴可说丰盛,不过布兰多一行人却吃得味同嚼蜡;茜、虎雀可以说压根就没放心思在吃饭上,而安蒂缇娜面上虽然没有表露,其实心中紧张得要死。Shedoes not know that actuallyBrandoandRomainemustbe have eachemaciated look on moodcarefultastetabletowhatdegreemindless, butsheonly thenlooks that the fulltablevegetable/dishknits the brows, is really not in no moodto talk.
她不知道布兰多和罗曼究竟要没心没肺到什么程度才能有心情细细品味桌子上的每一道菜色,而她只有看着满桌子菜皱了皱眉,实在没心情动口。At the sessionBaronnoticesthisnoble ladyexpression, the lookmovesslightly, opens the mouthto ask: „What's wrong, thisyoung ladythinks that hasentertainmentplaceinconsiderately below?”
席间男爵注意到这位贵族千金的表情,神色微微一动,开口问道:“怎么,这位小姐认为在下有招待不周之处?”Inhallonestatic.
大厅内一静。InAmandinaheartdarkstartled;Howeverherraises head, in the eye is actually onepiecenodstranquilly: „Lord Thaneandwifeconcerned aboutstatusinconvenientopens the mouth, butIashave no scruplesalong withretinue, spoke the honest remark, thesethingsa littletoogeneralized-”安蒂缇娜心中暗惊;不过她抬起头,眼中却是一片平静地点点头:“领主大人与夫人碍于身份不便开口,不过我作为随扈却没什么顾忌,说实在话,这些东西有点太一般化了-”Brandohearsin the heartinwardly shoutgoodjob, thought that Amandina is really seeshiminjig. Howeverthese words saying reallyhave the level, simplyprobably a slap in the facefantothatso-calledBaron Grudinfaceon. Moreoverthisis not the fellow of goodbirddid not have the meansto refuteat once.布兰多听得心中暗叫一声goodjob,心想安蒂缇娜果然是看出他在装架子。不过这句话说得实在太有水平了,简直像是一耳光扇到那个所谓的格鲁丁男爵脸上。而且这不是什么好鸟的家伙一时之间还没办法反驳。HissolemnThane, naturally not goodandothers'accompaniesto haggle over, let aloneis a woman.
他堂堂一个领主,自然不好和别人的一个随从计较吧,何况还是个女人。HoweverGrudinshows a faint smile, others actuallykeep silent. Middle-aged peoplewithgetting suckedunder the eye socket the gloomyeyeballis staring atBrando, Brandois also calm and composed even in press of workby the militantvisionresponseopposite party. Nowhemustactisarrogant, being superciliousyouthnoble. Suchnobleyoungsteris everywhereinAouine, becausejustordinarycannot make one suspect,saidfrom the validity of documentagain-
不过格鲁丁只是微微一笑,其他人却噤若寒蝉。中年人用深陷的眼眶下黯淡无光的眼珠盯着布兰多,布兰多也好整以暇地以好战的目光回应对方。他现在要扮演的就是一个飞扬跋扈,目中无人的青年贵族。这样的贵族年轻人在埃鲁因比比皆是,正因为普通才会不引人怀疑,再说从文件的合法性上-According to the view of Cripple, isnetViscountoneselfinspectsthesedocuments, will first suspect that oneself- rather than Brandocounterfeit goods.
按照跛子的说法,就是廷斯冈子爵本人来检查这些文件,也会首先怀疑自己-而非布兰多是不是个假货。„Thisisbest, even ifinentireBruglas- no, entireSouthern Territoryyoucould not discovercompared with this more excellentcraftsmanship. ThereforeIspent the high price, it ensure madeyouopen access.” The fellowsoboasts extravagantly.
“这是最棒的,纵使在整个布拉格斯-不,整个南境你也找不出比这更绝妙的手艺了。为此我花了大价钱,它保证让你畅通无阻。”那家伙是如此夸下海口的。On the Baron Grudinfaceshows a modestsmilefinally: „Won't Lord Viscountfrom the north, be familiar withregarding the southernclimate?”格鲁丁男爵脸上最后露出一个温和的微笑来:“子爵大人来自北方,想必对于南方的气候不会习惯吧?”
When heopens the mouthchanged a topic.
他开口时换了一个话题。„RegardingKnight of kingdom, the change of climateis notanything. As fortheseeventhisemaciatedgeneration that whetsis unable to endure, Ithink that theydo not matchcall itnoble.”Brandois relentless, clamps the rifle slingto replygood;Hefeels likethisimageinsteadto conform to the one's ownnatural disposition, is it possible thatinoneselfsubconscious is actually onearrogantgeneration?
“对于一位王国的骑士来说,气候的改变不算什么。至于那些连这点磨砺也无法忍受的羸弱之辈,我认为他们不配被称之为贵族。”布兰多毫不留情,夹枪带棒地答道;只是他觉得好像这个形象反而更符合自己的本性,莫非自己潜意识里其实是一个飞扬跋扈之辈?In the halleveryoneobstructs, thisishits the faceagain and again, theycannot bearthink that actuallythisyoungsteriswheresacred.
大厅内所有人都是一窒,这是一而再再而三地打脸啊,他们忍不住心想这个年轻人究竟是何方神圣。But onlyBaron Grudinis radiant with smiles, expression of formattingsimplyit can be said thatremarkable. Hesmiledsaying with a smile: „youngsternaturallycannotplace on a parwithourold bones, buteatsdoes not satisfy one's likingit doesn't matter, myalsogiftmustgive toyou.”
但只有格鲁丁男爵笑容可掬,格式化的表情简直可以说是可圈可点。他笑了笑道:“年轻人自然不能和我们一把老骨头相提并论,不过吃得不合胃口没关系,我还有一件礼物要送给你们。”Gift?
礼物?Brandois startledslightly, thought that thisfellowis up to mischief. Actuallywhathethinks after isfools the opposite party, leavesquickly, the one's ownterritorybesideclose, has waitedto look forthisfellow'strouble is not latein the future.布兰多微微一怔,心想这家伙又搞什么鬼。其实他想的是唬住对方后就赶快离开,自己的领地已经在咫尺之外,等日后再来找这个家伙的麻烦也不迟。
