清晨天与稍明,但空气中还带着些一夜之后尚示去的寒冷的因子,人和马匹呼吸时水汽在口鼻处笼成一层白霜,这个时节,托尼格尔境内已经可以感受到冬天的气息。
The team of personandhorseacross the mountain valleys of twomountaininteractions, all aroundforestin factisoneice-coldblack, leaveslike the ink and wash painting, fartherplace, mountain rangeinfogbackverdant.
人和马的队伍穿过两山相间的山谷,四周的森林事实上是一种冰冷的黑色,如同水墨画中脱出,更远的地方,山峦在云雾背后一片青翠。Onegroup of more than 30people, each onefull body armour, respectivebelt/bringweapon;Theseare the soldiers of being out of production, butis notAouine'sspecializedsoldier, butismercenary.

一行三十多人,个个全身覆甲,各自带着武器;这些都是脱产的士兵,不过并不是埃鲁因的专业军人,而是雇佣兵。在托尼格尔地区,只有在帕拉斯左近地区才能看到专业的军人,格鲁丁最精锐的骑士都汇聚在格拉哈尔山向北延伸的山口要塞上。
The squadtroopsafterpassing through the mountain valleyenter the open area that a flakedishsurfaceforestsurrounded, hasanotherteam of troopsto stay there, butat this momenttheyare detainingseveralto sitingrounddejectedyoungster.
小队人马在穿过山谷之后进入了一小片皿面森林环抱的空地,在那里有另外一队人马停留,而此刻他们正看押着几个坐在地上垂头丧气的年轻人。Theseyoungsterheard the sound, raises headcomes, to see the middle-agednobleseriousface that the futureled, on the facemostlyshowedlookin reverential awe;But was only crowded aroundbytheminmiddleyoungstermaintain one's composure, butsomeannoyingforget it/that's all.
这些年轻人听到声音,抬起头来,看到来者领头的中年贵族严肃的面孔,脸上大多露出了诚惶诚恐的神色;但只有被他们拥簇在中间年轻人不动声色,不过有些懊恼罢了。Middle-agednobleridesinoneselfmost belovedimmediately, thishorseis called the blackfox, the physiqueis big, the whole bodyblacklong neck hairseems likesmoothsatin, to plantonefrom the northbloodlinepuresthorse, whenheis youngthishorseto accompanyhimto risk one's life, althoughat the presenthas marched intobrave of yearsno longerpast years, butKnight Minteyehas the extremelydeepsentiment.
中年贵族骑在自己最心爱的马上,这匹马叫做黑狐,体格高大、浑身黑鬃像是一匹光滑的缎子、是来自北方血统最纯正的马种一在他年轻的时候这匹马就陪伴他出生入死,而今虽已步入幕幕之年不复当年之勇,但敏泰爵士还是对它有极深的感情。Helooks downthesenowyoungster, did not say a word.
他低头看着这几今年轻人,一言不发。ThispersonKnight Minteye, butthesetroopsarehismanpower. Obtained the news of Fir Tree Baronyrebellious peoplerebellionbefore the formerlong time, butthisexperienced and carefulnoblehas not sent outinimmediately;InAouine, the retainerwithoutThane'sorderleads troopsto intrudehead of household'sterritoryshapearbitrarilywith the rebellion, after Knight Minteyeconfirmedover and over the newswas reliable, ordersone's ownKnights.
此人正是敏泰爵士,而这些人马都是他的人手。早在多日之前前者就得到了冷杉男爵领乱民暴动的消息,不过这位老谋深算的贵族并没有在第一时间出动;在埃鲁因,在没有领主的命令情况下家臣擅自带兵闯入家主的领地形同叛乱,敏泰爵士再三确认消息可靠之后,才命令自己的骑士们出发。
The MinteyeareaandFir Tree Baronyadjoin, armyalmosttowardsending, buteveningto: Heassembleshand/subordinate the armyat the same night, has left the Minteyehilly areato entercoast of the Griessrivertonext morning the smoothriver valleyregion.

But the cavalry the coastthoroughtenli (0.5 km), samehas not discoveredslightly the trail of rioteractivity.敏泰地区与冷杉男爵领相毗,大军几乎是朝发而夕至:他连夜集结手下军队,至第二天清晨就已经离开敏泰的丘陵地区进入格尔斯河沿岸平坦的河谷地带。格尔斯渡口近在眼前,早先斥候回报渡口并没有被暴民占领,镇上甚至有许多人压根不清楚冷杉城发生了什么事。而骑兵已经沿岸深入十里,一样没有发现有丝毫暴民活动的踪迹。In the Knight Minteyeheartis not surprised, fromobtainingin the newslooksat the Fir Cityparticipationriotisseveralmercenary, theseperson of booksarelawless, doesto have an accidenthas the possibility. Thesewith the thievesnotdifferentfellow, after oneplundered, have the possibilityto disperse instantlyin his eyesvery much.敏泰爵士心中并没有太惊讶,从得到的消息上看在冷杉城参与暴乱的不过是几支雇佣兵,这些人本就是无法无天,干出什么事都有可能。这些在他眼中与强盗无异的家伙,一番抢掠之后很有可能早就一哄而散。As forfurthercontrolferry spot, only if the opposite partyattemptsto seize the opportunityto seizeFir Tree Baronyto do, Knight Minteyethinksalsoto feeloneselfconsidertoomany; The opposite partyareonecrowd of Mercenarycravesin the fellow of wealth, theyare unlikelyto waitto be exterminated there.
至于进一步控制渡口,除非对方妄图乘机占领冷杉男爵领才会这么干,敏泰爵士想想也觉得自己考虑得太多;对方不过是一群佣兵热衷于钱财的家伙,他们不大可能在那里等着被剿灭。Whathewas worriedisthisbackhas the Madara'sform, after allUndead ArmyalsointerconnectsinSouthern Territory, butnowlooks like, the situationis quite transparent.
他原本担心的是这背后有没有玛达拉的身影,毕竟亡灵大军还盘亘在南境,不过现在看来,情况已经相当明了了。Thisis a riot.
这就是一场暴乱而已。ThisletsKnight Minteyesighed in relief.
这让敏泰爵士松了一口气。Howeverhow longhisgoodmoodnot to have maintained, makeshimworrynewsalreadyby way oftransmitting orally of trusted subordinatetohisear, whythis was also hebrings more than 30to present the reasoninthismountain forestnowpersonally.
不过他的好心情才没有维持多久,一个让他烦心不已的消息就已经经由亲信之口传到他耳朵里,这也是为什么现在他带了三十多个人出现在这片山林之中的原因。Thatwas crowded aroundinmiddleyoungsterwears a lightbrowncoat, the waistwears the long swordto sit cross-leggedto sit, in the groundlooks at each otherwithhim, featureandKnightsomewhatsimilar, is a heyoungestson.
那个被簇拥在中间的年轻人穿着一件浅褐色的外套,腰佩长剑盘腿坐在地上与他对视的、眉目之间与爵士本人有几分相似,正是他最小的一个儿子。Thisyoungest sonisone that inhisthreeheirmostlikes, creativenessAgilityrevealedhas the talentsince childhood.

这个小儿子是他三个子嗣之中最喜欢的一个,才思敏捷从小就显露出天赋。爵士在他身上的投入可谓颇多心力,不过后者可谓不领情,早年游手好闲不愿意正经干事,后来送他到毗邻的马荷鲁修士的领地修习希望他能约束性格,没想到非但没能如愿,反而在外面长了见识之后脑子里多出了一些异想天开的奇思妙想来。

传信的亲信已经告诉他了整个事情的全部经过,被追上时这位小少爷打算带着自己的家仆和侍从翘家出走,目前还不清楚具体缘由,不过敏泰爵士只看到地上这几今年轻人就气不打一处来。„Said that......”heonhorseback, askedexhaltedly: „Whatsituation?”
“说……”他在马背上,居高临下地问:“什么情况?”Sitscompletelydoes not care abouthisprestigeto lift the chiningroundyoungster: „Was too bored, fatherSir......”
坐在地上的年轻人全然不在乎他的威信抬起下巴:“太无聊了,父亲大人……”
...... Snort ” Knight Minteyesinkingsoundsaid: „Do not experience the war, Ileadyouto experienceonetime. Howeverthisiswhatsituation, youbestandIexplainedclearly......”
……哼”敏泰爵士沉声说:“你不是要体验战争么,我就带你见识一次。不过这又是什么情况,你最好和我解释清楚……”„War? Howeverisonecrowd of rioterforget it/that's all, whatwar can the matter of thissmall scalebe?”youngstershowed a faint smiledisdainsaid. Buthealsoraises head, saidearnestly: „Does fatherSir, youknow? HearsayYour HighnessPrincess Gryphinehas returned toherterritoryto conveneherKnight......”
“战争?不过就是一群暴民罢了,这种小打小闹的事情算得上什么战争?”年轻人微微一笑不屑地说。但他又抬起头,认真地说道:“父亲大人,你知道吗?传闻格里菲因公主殿下已经回到了她的领地正在召集她的骑士……”Knight Minteyestares, althoughheisnoblebutis not much too small, he has about certainly listened to the northhearsay, butthatis the banquet of great people, above his type of checkerboard the board game piecewith the person who is not even are not related.敏泰爵士一愣,他虽然是贵族但不过小得可怜,他当然大约听过北边的传闻,不过那是大人物们的宴会,与他这种棋盘之上连棋子都算不上的人没有关系。„Thiswithyourwhatdoes/works?”Heasked.
“这又与你何干?”他问。„Naturallyhasrelations” ” youngsterto sayfull of enthusiasm: „Thenisdecided a war that thisnationaldestiny, Ihad decidedmustjoin in such mammothhistory, followsHer Highness the Princess......”
“当然有关系””年轻人兴致勃勃地说道:“接下来才是决定这个国家命运的一战,我已经决定了要投身到这样波澜壮阔的历史当中,去追随公主殿下……”Knight Minteyecompletelyhas not expectedoneselfthisyoungest sonissuchidea, after heis startledslightly, said: „Indulges in fantasy, youhave not gone out, where do youknowHer Highness the Princess? Whatsituationnowoutsideis?”敏泰爵士全然没料到自己这个小儿子是这样的想法,他微微一怔之后,说道:“异想天开,你从没出过门,你知道公主殿下在什么地方?现在外面又是什么情况么?”„Myownmeans......”youngstersaidself-confidently.
“我自有办法……”年轻人自信满满地说道。Knight Minteyeis helpless, knows that hesince childhoodintelligentexcellent, perhapsreallyfound the methodtohim.敏泰爵士无奈,知道他从小就聪明过人,说不定真给他找到门路。Howeverheshakes the headto discardthisidea, replied: „Do youhave the meansIno matter, butyoubestfirstfind the wayto convincemeone......”
不过他摇摇头丢掉这个想法,答道:“你有没有办法我且不管,不过你最好先想办法说服我一……”„FatherSir”youngstersees thatto standhastily, argued: „Youcannot retainme, why notto makemego outto rush out a world, keepingTrentheimdefendsthisfamily propertyfor a lifetimeisonyou a generation of matter, butto me, trueKnightmustperform the one's ownmeritorious servicein the war......”
“父亲大人”年轻人见状连忙站起来,辩解道:“你也留不住我,何不让我出去闯出一番天地,留在托尼格尔守住这点家业过一辈子是你们上一辈的事情,而对于我来说,一个真正的骑士就应当在战争中建立自己的功勋……”„War, have youseen the war?”Knight Minteyecannot bear the ridiculesay. When younghealsofollowsGrudinKnight, althoughmanyyearshave not gone to warpersonally, butmanyyearslater were still retaining the vigilantcustom. Paid lip service to the war that mentionedregardingtheseyoungster, has probably a color of romanticism, hedid not spare a glance.
“战争,你见过战争么?”敏泰爵士忍不住讥讽道。年轻时他也是追随格鲁丁的骑士,虽然已经多年没亲自打过仗,但一直到许多年之后仍旧保留着机警的习惯。对于这些年轻人口口声声提到的战争,好像带着一种浪漫主义的色彩,他是不屑一顾的。Buthelivedsuddenly., WhenwithMonk Mahalstudiestogether, oneselfthisyoungest sononcefollowedKnight Pallasto studyart of war. Knight PallasinentireAouine, althoughnoreputation, butinthisTrentheim, could sayis the greatveteran.
但他忽然住了。,在与马荷鲁修士一同修习时,自己这个小儿子曾经追随帕拉斯爵士修习战争的技艺。帕拉斯爵士在整个埃鲁因虽然没有什么名声,但在这托尼格尔,却说得上是一等一的老兵。NorthGrahár Mountainmustinsert, Knight Pallasis commandingGrudinhand/subordinatesharpestKnights, theymustprevent the attacks of othernobleat the same time, on the one handmustyear to year the mountain peopleindigenouscombatwithRadnorareaSouthern Territory, andcompared withthesespecializedthieves, Trentheimdomesticthievesmaycan be the yeanlingto be equally docile, must therefore say that inthisarea, mentionsinKnight Pallaseveryonefirstto present a serioussoldierimage.
在格拉哈尔山北缘的要塞上,帕拉斯爵士统帅着格鲁丁手下最精锐的骑士们,他们一方面要防范其他贵族的攻击、一方面要常年与让德内尔地区南境的山民土著作战,与那些专业的强盗相比,托尼格尔境内的强盗可算得上是小绵羊一样温顺,因此要说在这一地区,提到帕拉斯爵士所有人内心中首先都会出现一个严肃的军人的形象。Knight Minteyeremembersoneselfthissonalsoto participate in the mountain peopleindigenousbetweenwar, mentionedin the fight, experienceperhapsnotfewmany of opposite party.敏泰爵士又想起自己这个儿子也参与过于山民土著之间的战争,说起在战斗上,对方的经验恐怕并不比自己少多少。Thereforeheshakes the head, said: „Good, Igiveyouoneto convincemyopportunity.”
于是他又摇摇头,说道:“好吧,我给你一个说服我的机会。”„Whatopportunity?”youngstercame the interest.
“什么机会?”年轻人来了兴趣。„Is the assistanttome, makingmehave a look atyourperformance. Ifyoucanbe competentthiswork, assumes sole responsibility for an important task, Inaturallyputyouto leave.”Knight Minteyedoes not certainly thinkat heart, butisplandelaying tactics, hethought that nowdoes not have the timeandthisboypesters, waitsto fire offthisweaponrynaturallyto have the timeto attend tohimslowly.
“给我当助手,让我看看你的表现。如果你能够胜任这个工作,独当一面,我自然放你离开。”敏泰爵士心里当然不是这么想的,不过是一策缓兵之计而已,他心想现在没时间和这小子纠缠,等打完这一仗自然有时间慢慢料理他。Sincethisboylikesgoing to war, thenlostto come upKnight Minteyesotothatfellowhandto think, hethoughtnaturallywasKnight Pallas. AlthoughamongrumorGrudinmost efficienttwoKnightrelateshand/subordinateis not so harmonious, butin fact the personal friendship of heandopposite partyis good.
既然这小子喜欢打仗,那么就丢到那家伙手上去好了敏泰爵士如此想到,他想的当然是帕拉斯爵士。虽然风传格鲁丁手下最得力的两位骑士之间关系不那么融洽,但事实上他和对方的私交还算不错。Butyoungsteractuallydetected that father'sidea, his light blueeyeballrevolution, shows a faint smile: „FatherSir, the opposite partyisonegroup of rioters, did youdo thatsomewhatmake a fuss over a trifling matter?”
但年轻人却察觉出自己父亲的想法,他浅蓝色的眼珠一转,微微一笑:“父亲大人,对方不过是一群暴民而已,你这么做是不是有些小题大作了?”
......, Youdo not followChomatto studyart of warfor a long timeone ” Knight Minteyeto realizesuddenlythisisgoodidea, looks for a matterto makethisboyconsume the consumptionsurplusenergy;Recentlyheremembers a nottooreliablenews that mustcome, decidesto add a fire, „heard that in the rioterhas this year'slightleader, withyouralmostbigage, buthas actually becomearmyto command: Isyoublows own hornon the contraryall day, whatastonishingachievementactuallywithoutseeingto have, at the present do Igiveyouthisopportunityyounot to goto tryindependently?”
……哼,你不是追随乔玛特学习战争的技艺那么长时间么一”敏泰爵士忽然意识到这是一个好点子,找一点事来让这小子消耗消耗过剩的精力;他想起最近得来的一个不太可靠的消息,决定加一把火,“听说暴民中有一今年轻的领头者,和你差不多大年纪,但却已经成为一军统帅:反倒是你整天自吹自擂,却没见有什么惊人的成就,而今我给你这个机会你不想去放手一试?”

“激将之计对一位骑士来说可产生不了什么效果,父亲大……”年轻人口头上这么说,但脸上明显感兴趣的表情却出卖了他。“不过好吧””最后他自己也点了点头:“我同意了,我正好去看一看这个人是何方神圣。”Knight Minteyeis unemotional, butin the heartactuallydarkWuthinksexperience counts, yourboyis intelligentmustbe playedbymefinallyruns around in circles. Finallythistypehappilychanges into a sighsecretly: youngster, istooimpulsive.敏泰爵士面无表情,但心中却暗芜心想姜还是老的辣,你小子再聪明最后还是要被我玩得团团转。最后这种暗自得意化为一句感叹:年轻人啊,还是太冲动。
