的确,工匠大师柏鲁说得没错,托尼格尔并不盛产水晶矿。ForgesWhite Lion Armour, incompleting the stageneedsto enteron the mainjointandchestplate armor of armor the Holy Sigil of brand markwind, toreducewhole setarmourweight, to promoteAgility.

锻造白狮铠甲,在完成阶段需要将风之圣纹烙印入铠甲的主要关节与胸板甲上,以减轻整套甲胄的重量、提升灵巧。完成这一步时埃鲁因的工匠们通常会使用紫水晶,或是黄水晶来替代,这两种水晶都是纯度极高的魔力水晶-并且是女巫、星见们水晶球通常使用的主要材料之一-在沃恩德,浅紫水晶也叫做月亮石英,方解石的一种。戈兰—埃尔森,安列克与维埃罗,让德内尔东部都盛产这种水晶,它们密集地生长在由山区丘陵之间水蚀地貌构成的溶洞之中-但托尼格尔并不包括这样的自然条件。Even ifregardingBrando, Trentheim is also a stretch of strangeterritory.
纵使对于布兰多,托尼格尔也是一片陌生的领地。Hanging bridgecreaking and gratingputs down, connects the chains between hanging bridge and city gaterubson the square brickexudescrash-bang the gratingsound, lightshootsafter the hanging bridge, seal'sonone sidebrick wallinpitch-darkentry.

吊桥吱吱嘎嘎地放下,连接吊桥与城门之间的锁链在方砖上摩擦发出哗啦啦的刺耳响声,一线光明从吊桥之后射进来,印在黑洞洞的门洞中一侧的砖墙上。布兰多一动不动坐在马背上,浅褐色的眸子里映衬出这束黑暗背后正逐渐变得刺眼的光线-他抿着嘴唇,静静地看着随着吊桥缓缓垂下,桥板与城门之间的缝隙正变得越来越大。也越来越多的光正从缝隙背后涌入,将他的眼底映得一片明亮。Behindis the Fir Cityavenue, except forthat nightstrugglelaterearly morningtofortunately survivingMercenary, and residents in cityspokeshortlybeside, this first time washeobservedthiscityfromThanethisangle- belonged tohisone's owncity, at leastcansaytemporarily.

后面就是冷杉城的大街,除了那一夜的苦战之后清晨时分对幸存下来的佣兵、以及城内的市民短暂的演讲之外,这还是他第一次以领主这个角度来观察这座城市-属于他自己的城市,至少暂时来说可以这么讲。冷杉男爵领在托尼格尔南方,是直属于格鲁丁管辖的土地,主要的人口聚集区其实只有四个-冷杉城、矿镇沙夫伦德、格瑞斯渡口与东面的格里斯港,统计的人口大约在八万左右,其中冷杉堡极其周边地区就生活着大约三万人。当然还有许多诸如绿村这样的人口聚落并没有纳入统计之中,不过布兰多猜测此地的总人口也不会超过十万。Howeverthisis the Trentheimareapopulationmost crowdedarea, butentireTrentheim is about livingthree100,000people.
然而这就是托尼格尔地区人口最密集的地区,而整个托尼格尔大约生活着三十万人。Trentheimtotal areaabout170knight's shire, the Grudindirectly underregionnaturallyis nothereonlynobleterritory. Andhisretaineroccupiedmostterritories.

所以说,接下来他率先要面对的可能就是这两位勋爵大人的军队,这些人是让德内尔伯爵的探路石,只有让他们得到教训,才能让那位躲在幕后不愿现身的伯爵大人变得越发谨慎起来。Therefore their firstgoal, isto maketheseGrudinretainersfeel the fearin a followingwaraboutoneself.
因此他们的第一个目标,就是要在接下来的一战中让这些格鲁丁的家臣们对自己感到恐惧。Hanging bridgegatesqueaksqueakputs, after a piece of whitelight, in the Brandofield of visionfirstmapped the deep bluesky.

Thisis the Radnorareabefore the winterbestdays, on the plainis sparklinggoldenluster, however after harvesting of autumnevening, the temperaturewill reducequickly.
吊桥门正吱呀吱呀地放下去,一片白光之后布兰多视野之中首先映入了湛蓝的天空。他抬起头看着这天-从冷杉堡一直到最北边的帕顿荒野,角峡与格拉哈尔山之间平坦的托尼格尔平原上共享着这样明媚的天气。这是让德内尔地区进入冬季之前最好的一段日子,平原上闪耀着金色的光泽,然而秋暮的收割之后,气温很快就会降低。Thereforenorthernnoblesis preparing the waraggressively, strives to open up an offensivebefore the beginning of winter.

Especiallyin the Yanilasarea, Aouineroyal family‚liondragon’fleetposed the hugethreatbehindCorcova, possiblychanges the situationmomentarilyat one fell swoop.
因此北方的贵族们在紧锣密鼓地准备着战争,争取在入冬之前能展开攻势。如果推迟,战争将延续到第二年的春天之后,无论是王后安娜还是格卢克,都不愿意看到这样的结果。尤其是在雅尼拉苏地区,埃鲁因王室的‘狮龙’舰队在科尔科瓦背后构成了巨大的威胁,随时可能一举改变局势。Now the Sifahfront of army corpsblackhave entered the Lardalriverfrontline, the matter that remainsisboth sidesis convincing the Ampere SearlHong Kong business peoplepersonrespectively.

如今西法赫的黑色之锋兵团已经进入洛达尔河一线,剩下来的事就是双方各自在说服安培瑟尔的港商人。如果王后的顶级说客在那些唯利是图的商人之中获得成功,那么成千上万的西法赫重步兵就会越过洛达尔河直线抵达弗拉达边境-就像历史上曾经发生过的一样。Butsimilarly, insouthernTrentheim, the situationalsobecomesbecause ofhisappearanceanxious, the aura of waras ifscatters in the windis representing the harvestis fragrantly same, butbringslightbloodytastefaintly.
而同样,在南方的托尼格尔,形势也因为他的出现而变得紧张起来,战争的气息仿佛飘散在风中代表着丰收的香甜一样,只是隐隐带着一丝淡淡的血腥味儿。
The timeis marching forwardunder a ash greyheavybackgroundmethodically.
时间在一种铅灰色的沉重背景下有条不紊地行进着。„, The war the latersecond day on the 17 th, according to the communicationlevel of thistime, inscribedmercenariesnewsletter to pass tonorthMinskburgLordMinteye at this moment the hand.

“17日,战争发生之后的第二天,按照这个时代的通讯水准,写上了佣兵们的消息的信笺此刻应该已经传到了北面敏思堡的敏泰勋爵手上。而第一批骑士正离开那座岩灰石城堡,四散集结兵力,”布兰多默默地想到,他现在所能控制的也仅有冷杉堡周边而已,而那些庄园中的骑士早就带着消息逃离了,“经过初期的准备,敏泰勋爵或许能拉起2,000-3,000人的军队,一样的贵族私兵,虽然黑铁率不到百分之二十-但对于人数还不及千的佣兵来说,同样面临着一场苦战。”„LordMinteyeapproximatelyconcluded that mercenarieswill cling to tenaciouslyFortress Fir, orescapesto the forest,”in the Brandomindnorthhill of the most idealfightplaceinGraceferry spot, whenas for the army, mustlook at the scoutnews. Before thenhehas madesquadMercenary of Lopesembarkto go tolatter'sterritory- at this momentinFir Tree Barony, no onewas more suitable than to act as the scoutexcept forDruidtheseample experiencemercenary.
“敏泰勋爵大约料定佣兵们会死守冷杉堡,或是逃到森林之中,”不过布兰多心目中最理想的战斗地点在格瑞斯渡口北面的丘陵之中,至于军队什么时候出发,要看斥候的消息。在此之前他已经让一小队卢比斯雇佣兵出发前往后者的领地-此刻在冷杉男爵领,除了德鲁伊没有谁比这些经验丰富的雇佣兵更适合充当探子了。Brandois ponderingall thesesilently, becausethisfightin the everyoneheartseemssoimportant.布兰多默默地思考着这一切,因为在每一个人心中这场战斗都显得如此重要。Thisandnot onlyrefers toLordMinteyeimminentdispatching troops, thatis only a smalltestBrandowhattrueheadacheissecretlyCount of Radnorpossiblepressing on step by step.

这并不仅仅是指敏泰勋爵已迫在眉睫的出兵,那只是一个小小的考验而已-布兰多真正头痛的是幕后让德内尔伯爵可能的步步紧逼。他想自己大约有一个月时间来布置这一切,修葺防御,整理领地-而在那之前更重要的则是建立起佣兵们对他的信心。城内的佣兵虽然暂时与他在一条船上,但从长远看他们不可能一直能与他如此紧密地站在一起。除非他们确信自己能提供给他们必要的庇护。Jutta, KalunandFernthreeHead Commanderonehave not been the ordinary person, Brandoknows the ownonlyhappyhopecannot retainthesepeople. Butthiswar, will havesuch a confidence.尤塔、克伦希亚与弗恩三个大团长没有一个是等闲之辈,布兰多知道自己单凭一个美好的希望是留不住这些人的。而这一战,就会树立起这样一个信心。In factAmandinaalsothinksin privatethisfightsnot onlytoconsolidatethisinitialgroup. Similarlyalsoproclaimed the B... Brandovalidityto the Fir Tree Baronysubjects, ifbecausethiswarachieved the expectedgoal, the Count of Radnorstepwill slow down. Then, the popular sentimentnaturallywill side withon the side ofthem.
事实上安蒂缇娜私下也认为这一战不仅仅是为了稳固这个最初的集团。同样也是向冷杉男爵领的臣民们宣布布兰多的合法性,因为若此战达到预期的目标,让德内尔伯爵的步伐就会放慢。如此一来,民心就会自然倒向他们一边。
The peopleneed is not only benevolentThane, similarly is also onecanprotecttheirThane.
民众需要的不仅仅是一个仁慈的领主,同样也是一个可以保护他们的领主。At this time the hanging bridgehas put downhalf, thenBrandoseesindistantFir Citythesewattredroofs.

此时吊桥已经放下了一半,然后布兰多看到远远的冷杉城内那些瓦红色的屋顶。托尼格尔靠着亡月内海西岸,从海上来的风带来充沛的雨水,因此普通的民居都使用斜度极大的屋顶,而除了阁楼的尖顶拱窗之外,屋檐边都挂着一道引水的渠道。新绿色的藤蔓从阁楼窗户上垂下来,与朱红色的瓦片交相映衬。Rayalsoflooding intomakesincity gatebright, besides the face, the lightonhorsebackoutlinedfrom the darkenvironmenthalfbody of Brando, thendescribedtwobeautifulyoung girlbodyexquisitecurvestohimbehind.

光线也涌入使城门洞内变得明亮起来,除了面孔以外,光将布兰多在马背上的半个身体从黑暗的环境中勾勒出来,然后向他身后描绘出两位美丽少女身体优美的曲线。茜背着长枪,笔直地挺立在马背上-琥珀色的眼睛虽然刻意地保持着一种仿佛护卫般的冷静,但内心深处却潜藏不住一丝少女的期待与雀跃,她毕竟是一个个性的女孩子,又从小在与灰狼佣兵团一起在南境的山林之中长大,当然不会习惯城堡之内的沉闷。As forMisself, mostmoodbut actuallyaloof.
而至于精灵小姐,大半的情绪倒还是无动于衷。

Howeverpitifullythisapproach, althoughdirects the will of the peopleto move, actuallysomebigexecutionsbutmost peoplesuspectthisthing. Let alonewhetherhecan stand firmlyagain, is a question.
虽然布兰多已经命令安蒂缇娜去重新制订税务政策,不但免去了大部分税务,还一笔削去了过去的账务。不过可惜这种做法虽然引人心动,但大部分人更怀疑这东西究竟有多大的执行力。何况他能否再次站住脚,还是一个疑问。

轰然一声巨响,尘土飞扬,吊桥终于完全放下。布兰多心中笑了一下,并没有太在意这些人的态度,其次,他看到了城堡外正等候着他的弗恩、尤塔与克伦希亚一行人-而安蒂缇娜正立在他们旁边。„Lord Thane.”
“领主大人。”Seeshimto appear, middle-aged personKalunfirst of silver hairdeeplylays downto go. AspersonallywithBrandohas fought side-by-sidehim, whatabilityclearerthisyoungThanehas. Although his little whilesamewas worried that actuallyBrandocanshoulder the Radnorfamilydirectly, orcanthrowto work as the scapegoatthem, butmorewas so worried,heinsteadmoreshows the respectfulattitude.
看到他出现,银发的中年人克伦希亚第一个深深地埋下头去。作为亲身与布兰多并肩作战过的他,更清楚这位年轻的领主有什么样的能耐。虽然他这会儿一样担心布兰多究竟能不能正面扛住让德内尔家族,或者会不会把他们丢出去当替罪羊,但越是如此担心,他反而越是表现出恭敬的态度。Juttacurls the lipgently, butBrandotoday'shistrionicsmakesherat presentslightlyonebright, thought that thisdeicidesameyoungster of reallyalsohassuchcompatibleside. Only thenFernhead high, chest outunemotionally.尤塔轻轻撇了撇嘴,只是布兰多今天的作派让她眼前微微一亮,心想这个杀神一样的年轻人竟然也有这么亲和的一面。只有弗恩昂首挺胸面无表情。„Knows that whatmattersIdo look foryour?”Brandoasked.
“知道我找你们什么事么?”布兰多问道。Threepeopleshake the head.
三个人都摇摇头。„Lord Thane,”Kalunrepliedrespectfully: „Youtoldby all means,wego through fire or waternot to refuse under any circumstancesinevitably.”
“领主大人,”克伦希亚恭敬地答道:“你只管吩咐,我们必然赴汤蹈火在所不辞。”
