The newbornterritorywas just aboutto go through the most itsdifficultperiod, perhapsat this momentfourgoldenstrengthsincludinghe himselfishemost importantbacking, Brandotakes advantage of itselfnot to worryregarding the understanding of thisworldto be abundance of capable peopleclearlyin the future, butdoes not squander moneynow-
新生的领地正要度过最它艰难的一段时期,此刻包括他自己在内四位黄金力量是他最重要的依托,布兰多明白依仗自己对于这个世界的了解将来或许不愁手下人才济济,但现在绝不是挥霍浪费的时候-
A Curranhandpressed down the one's ownsword, butlets looseimmediately. The old persondetectedfaintlythisyoungsterhas a heart movementto the one's ownproposition, will otherwise not sayso manywith.库兰一只手按上了自己的剑,但随即又放开。老人隐隐察觉这个年轻人对自己的提议有所心动,否则不会和自己说这么多。Hiscalmlyasked: „Such being the case, what to do do youthink should?”
他不动声色地问道:“既然如此,你认为该怎么办?”Brandohesitated, opens the mouth saying: „What did Registrar of mining areacall?”布兰多沉吟了一下,开口道:“矿区的书记官叫什么?”Curranstares, has not kept up with the speed that thisthoughtjumps. Hedoes not understand why the topicwill pulltothatnobleRegistraron, butreplied: „Aokins.”库兰一愣,没跟上这思维跳跃的速度。他不明白为什么话题会扯到那个贵族书记官身上,但还是答道:“奥金斯。”„Sicovyell FamilythatAokins?”
“西科维尔家的那个奥金斯?”„Do youknowhim?” The Curraneyenarrowed the eyes, hisinstinctsmells the status of opposite party- thismustbeyoungnoble, after all the average personwill not knowabout the noblegenealogical recordsoclearly.
“你认识他?”库兰眼睛眯了起来,他本能地嗅出对方的身份-这应当是一个年轻的贵族,毕竟一般人可不会对贵族系谱了解得如此清楚。
It looks like the well-informedroyal capitalperson to knowinowntop of the headthesemaster noblecalledanything, buthad/leftCorcova, henotnecessarilyknewotherprovincesomeanythingnoble.
就像是消息灵通的王都人或许会知道自己头顶上那些个贵族老爷叫什么,但出了科尔科瓦,他不一定知道别的行省有些什么贵族。HoweverAokinsischildnephewonegeneration of MadameCount of Radnor, isGrudinthisclassin the Radnorprovince, Brandonaturally not possiblynot to hear. Let alonealthough the opposite party is not really famousinthisage, after but when oldnoblesis gradually senileandleaves the world, the playershave towiththeseyoungnoblehave to do.
然而奥金斯是让德内尔伯爵夫人的子侄一辈,在让德内尔行省属于格鲁丁这一阶层,布兰多当然不可能没有听说过。何况虽然对方在这个年代还不甚出名,但等到老贵族们逐渐衰老、离世之后,玩家们就不得不和这些年轻的贵族打交道了。Brandoremembers that thisfellowafterwardwasThane of Silmanarea, buthas not thought that nowunexpectedlyholds the post ofRegistrarinSchafflund Mine. Herealizedimmediately the silver mineitselfisCount of Radnoris atintimate, perhaps the opposite partystartedto win the trust of Countfromhere.布兰多记得这个家伙后来是西尔曼地区的领主,不过没想到现在居然在沙夫伦德矿山担任书记官。他随即意识到银矿山本就是让德内尔伯爵的腹心所在,说不定对方正是从这里开始取得了伯爵的信任。Hein the unstated criticism, thoughtat heart the excellentfuture of thisboymustbe malingeredbyoneselfthisactionprobably. Howeveracting in the spirit of deadfellow daoist not deadthis poor Daoist, healso can only sayoneat heart ‚ sorry.
他在心里腹诽,心想这小子的大好前途大概就要被自己这一番行动泡汤了。不过本着死道友不死贫道的精神,他也只能在心里说一声‘sorry了。„Heard that is a fairfellow.”Brandomakes a veiled attackasked.
“听说是个中规中矩的家伙。”布兰多旁敲侧击地问。„Thisappraisalalso is really of pleasant to hear,”Curranraisedeyebrow, „ratheris the timid as a rabbit, mediocreincompetentis better.”Heridiculedunrestrained/no trace of politeness, Aokinskills a matter under hisunit headquartersalsoto makethisold persontake to heartto the present: „Yourthesenoble, werelikesspeaking the fine words.”
“这个评价还真是好听,”库兰扬了扬眉毛,“不如说是胆小如鼠,平庸无能更好一些。”他毫不客气地讥讽道,奥金斯断送他一队部下的事一直到现在还让这个老人耿耿于怀:“你们这些贵族,就是喜欢说漂亮话。”Then, healsolooked atBrandooneprovocatively.
说完,他还挑衅似地看了布兰多一眼。Brandodoes not care aboutold person'sprobe, butin the heartestimatessecretly, according toCurranregarding the appraisal of thatAokinsas well asheregarding the understanding of opposite party, thatyoungRegistrar, formust the futureconsider, perhapswill depress the unrest of mining areaby any means possible, will not send the personto officially informKnight Pallas.布兰多并不在乎老人的试探,只是心中暗自揣摩,按照库兰对于那个奥金斯的评价以及他自己对于对方的了解,那个年轻的书记官为了自己得前途着想,恐怕会千方百计地压下矿区的骚乱,更不会派出去人去知会帕拉斯爵士。Butas the matter stands, theyhavegreatly the timeseeks for the pathto lead toground, wantsthisoldSword Masterto guidedoes not constituteanythingto affectregardinghisplanin fact.
而这样一来,他们就有大把的时间来寻找通向地面的道路,要不要这个年迈的剑术大师带路事实上对于他的计划并不构成什么影响。Buthelooked atCurran, in the hearthadotheridea. Hedoes not certainly want a goldenstrengthto return to Radnor, but how mustleave behind the opposite party is actually a difficult problem.
但他看了看库兰,心中有了另外的想法。他当然不愿意一个黄金力量回到让德内尔手上,不过要怎么把对方留下却是一个难题。Looked that the performance of Currannot necessarily is really also dead set ontoCount of Radnor, orwill not discuss the conditionwiththemhere. Howevercan look atthisold mansomeKnightstyles, it is estimated thatwill wanthimto surrenderwill not be easy, particularlyinhewill have nounder the situation of strength.
看库兰的表现也不见得真的就对让德内尔伯爵死心塌地,要不也不会在这里和他们谈条件。不过看得出来这个老头儿还是有些骑士风范的,估计要他投降也不会太容易,尤其是在他自己还没什么实力的情况之下。ButBrandothinks, in the hearthasto calculate.
但布兰多想了一下,心中已有成算。Hereplied: „Thattroubleold misterreturns toFir Citywithustemporarily. Has waited forthese days, short in January/one month, longa halfyear, Inaturallyputyouto go back.”
他答道:“那就麻烦老先生暂时跟我们回冷杉城一趟。等过了这段时间,短则一月,长则半年,我自然放你回去。”InFir City, henaturallydid not mind that branches out1-2goldenstrengthsto guardthisSword Master.
在冷杉城中,他自然不介意分出1-2黄金力量来看守这位剑术大师。„A halfyear?” The eye of Currannarrowed the eyes: „IfIdo not appearin the mining areafor a long time, will arouse suspicion, aren't youworried aboutnewsdivulging?”
“半年?”库兰的眼睛眯了起来:“如果我长时间不在矿区出现,会引起怀疑的,你们不担心消息泄露?”Brandothought that thisdeadold manalso is really sly, buthas consideredthis pointinhimwell: „it doesn't matter, are youseriously injuredisn't that soin the earthquake? Naturallyneeds the a period of timetraining, IthinkAokinscanunderstand-”布兰多心想这死老头儿还真是狡猾,不过好在他早就考虑过这一点:“没关系,你在地震中受了重伤不是吗?自然需要一段时间修养,我想奥金斯会理解的-”Hedeliberatelyaggravated‚Aokinscanunderstand’this.
他刻意加重了‘奥金斯的会理解的’这一句。
A Curranfaceridiculed the scraps/condescendsnort/hum, henaturallyknows why thatRegistrarwill understand, ifhedid not understand that thisyoungsterwill naturally makehimunderstandwith the sword- to was not the unyielding person, hewas conceivable, so long asBrandothreatensthatspineless personRegistrarestimateto shed bitter tearsslightlyacts astheirmegaphones.库兰一脸讥屑地哼了一声,他自然知道那个书记官为什么会理解,如果他不理解这个年轻人自然会用刀剑让他理解-对方可不是什么硬骨头,他可以想象只要布兰多稍一威胁那个软骨头书记官估计就会痛哭流涕地充当他们的传声筒。
The old personis silent.
老人沉默下来。„It seems likeyou decided that but how Imustguarantee can oneselfleaves in a month or six months?”Healsoasked.
“看来你是打定主意了,不过我要怎么保证自己能在一个月或者半年后离开呢?”他又问道。„Why do Iwantto promiseyou?”Brandoasked back.
“我为什么要向你保证?”布兰多反问。Curranobstructs, raisessilvergreyeyebrowto look at the opposite partyangrily.库兰一窒,扬起银灰色的眉毛愤愤然地看着对方。„SinceImakeyougotoFir City, so long asyoudo not act rashly, Iwill not at least move unnecessarilyto handleother anything.”Brandoreplied, „did not make the senselesssacrifice, were you November Warveteran? The lifeisveryprecious, person who the winner in warlivesfinally-”
“不过既然我让你到冷杉城去,只要你不轻举妄动,至少我就不会多此一举做点别的什么事情。”布兰多答道,“不作无谓的牺牲,你是十一月战争的老兵吧?生命是很宝贵的,战争中的赢家是最后活下来的人-”Old personsnort/hum: „You are very actually clear, inyourelderalsohas the vestiges the person of thatwar?”
老人哼了一声:“你倒是很清楚,你的长辈之中也有残余过那场战争的人?”Brandodid not answer, butlooks at the opposite party.布兰多不答,只是看着对方。Old person'svisionhas swept the in Brando's handring, silent a meeting, asked: „Looks atyouractions, was the planlongremainshere. HoweverImustremindyourone, Count of Radnoris impossibleto tolerate a territoryto splitfromhiscontrol, thatfeared that ismost barrenTrentheim, did youprepare to greetone‚king’ the thunderanger?”
老人的目光扫过布兰多手上的戒指,沉默了一会,又问道:“看你们的所作所为,是打算在这里长留了。不过我得提醒你们一句,让德内尔伯爵不可能容忍一块领地从他的控制下分裂出去,那怕是最为贫瘠的托尼格尔,你们做好准备迎接一位‘国王’的雷霆怒火了么?”BesidesCorcova Province, Aouineactual‚feudal vassal’is being controlledby13, thesefeudal vassalincludingsixDukeandtwoMarquiswithfiveprivilegeCount, theirstrengthsendurecompared with the royal family, thereforewas also jokingly calledby the folkfor‚the king under throne’.
除了科尔科瓦行省之外,埃鲁因实际由十三位‘诸侯’控制着,这些诸侯包括六位公爵、两位侯爵与五位特权伯爵,他们的力量堪比王室,因此也被民间戏称为‘王座之下的国王’。These‚king’inbesidesstrengthstrongestAnlieke, VieroandSifahthreeDuke, otherstrengthsmostly about the same, Count of Radnorinthisranks, althoughnotonstrong, butis notmost inferiorone.
这些‘国王’之中除了实力最强的安列克、维埃罗与西法赫三位公爵之外,其他的实力大多在伯仲之间,让德内尔伯爵在这一行列之中虽说不上强,但也不是最次的一位。Wants a upfrontresistancesuchstrength, looks likeBrandoand the othersinCurranseems like same the smallant that the giantchallenges, possiblymeets a cruel deathmomentarily.
要正面对抗这样一股力量,在库兰看来布兰多等人就好像是在向巨人挑战的小蚂蚁一样,随时可能粉身碎骨。But after Brandolistenedsmiles, shakes the head saying: „Youmade a mistaketwomatters. First, Iknowhowfrom the beginningCount of Radnorwill be dry;Second, Trentheimin factnotmost barren.”
但布兰多听了之后笑了笑,摇摇头道:“你弄错了两件事。第一,我从一开始就知道让德内尔伯爵会怎么干;第二,托尼格尔事实上并不是最为贫瘠的。”Currandeeplylooked athisoneeyes: „Self-confidentis the good deed, butarrogantis uncertain, youngster.”库兰深深地看了他一眼:“自信是好事,但自大就不一定了,年轻人。”„Iapprove ofvery much.”Brandoreplied.
“我很赞同。”布兰多答道。„Good, no matter how youthink.” The old personsees the persuasionto be invalid, shakes the headno longermentions. Hishandpressedonce againon the one's ownsword: „Itake a guarantee, will guaranteeat leastsix months later, youmust, no matter whatIwill leave.”
“好吧,不管你们怎么想。”老人见劝说无效,也就摇摇头不再提及。他的手又一次按在了自己的剑上:“我还是要一个保证,保证至少半年之后,你得任我离开。”„You ensure doesn't return tosideCount of Radnor?”
“你保证不回到让德内尔伯爵身边?”„Sorry, thisIam unable to guarantee.”Curranrepliedcategorically.
“抱歉,这我无法保证。”库兰斩钉截铁地答道。Brandoappreciatedvery muchlooked atopposite partyoneeyes, butthis timehehas not actually rejected, butsmiledsaying with a smile: „Good, Iguaranteed. Does not takea halfyear, onlytakesthreemonths.”布兰多很是欣赏地看了对方一眼,但这一次他却没有拒绝,而是笑了笑道:“好吧,我保证。不需要半年,只需要三个月。”
The old personstaresslightly, raises headcomesto visithimsurprisedly.
老人微微一愣,抬起头来惊讶地看着他。Brandosmiles, does not explain.布兰多一笑,不作解释。
After reaching the agreement, Medissaalsorests, shefelt that oneselfSoul Firestartsonce againactively, thereforeseveralpeoplecontinueto start off.
达成协定之后,梅蒂莎也休息完毕,她感觉自己得灵魂之火又一次开始活跃,于是几人继续上路。At this timeBrandolooked atbehindthatmineroneeyes, in factinknowingBrandoandScarlettis notmember of mining areagarrison, butbetrayed the party, and must opposeafterCount of Radnor, thispitifulfellowscared, almostwantedto start running away at once.
这个时候布兰多看了后面那个矿工一眼,事实上在得知布兰多与茜并不是矿区警备队的成员而是叛党,并且还要与让德内尔伯爵作对之后,这个可怜的家伙吓坏了,几乎想要拔腿就跑。Howeverwas quickcalmlyhe, because ofcompared with the considerationfuturematter, at leastambushes the monstersinthesemine roadto wanthislifenowimmediately, finallythismanwith.
不过很快他冷静了下来,因为比起考虑将来的事情,至少现在潜伏在这些矿道中的怪物就会立刻要了他的命,最后这个男人还是跟了上来。ButhemetScarlett, afterred haired girldoes intentionallyfierce a threat, finallythisminer can only put on a long faceto complyto be tied down by care of one's familygoes toFir Citytogether.
但他遇上了茜,在红发少女故作凶恶地一番威胁之后,最后这个矿工只能哭丧着脸答应拖家带口一起去冷杉城。Brandoin the conversationknew that besides the means of livelihood of miner, the opposite partyhas also studied the craftsmanship of somesilversmiths, thereforesimplepermits a work of hisblacksmithapprentice. Compares, thisworkmaybe safer than the miner . Moreover the incomeis also bigger, finallyinthatmanheartuneasy, butcannot bearsomewhatanticipate.
在交谈中布兰多得知除了矿工的活路之外,对方还学过一些银匠的手艺,因此干脆许了他一个铁匠学徒的工作。相比较起来,这工作可比矿工安全多了,而且收益也更大,最后那个男人心中还是惴惴不安,但又忍不住有些期待起来。With such contradictorythoughts, hefelt that the frontseveralpeoplestoppedonce again.
怀着这样矛盾的心思,他感到前面几人又一次停了下来。Butthis timedoes not meetwhatmonster, did not meet anyone, butwas the roaddid not have- exactlysaid,everyonesawinfrontmine roadnot far awayto present a leaf of darkfront door.
但这一次并不是遇上了什么怪物,也不是遇上了什么人,而是路没了-确切的说,每一个人都看到前面矿道之中不远处出现了一扇黑沉沉的大门。Closeddoor shutentiretunnel.
紧闭的大门封死了整条隧道。MedissaandScarlettcannot help butstoppedto look atCurran, the opposite partykeep on proclaimingthisroad to the elevator. ButtheyseeonthisoldSword Masterface are actually an incredibleexpression:梅蒂莎与茜不由得停下来看着库兰,对方可是口口声声说这条路可以通向升降机的。但他们看到这个年迈的剑术大师脸上却是一副不可置信的表情:„Is this?” The old personstaresslightly.
“这是?”老人微微一愣。„Shouldn't thisbe held responsibleyou?”Scarlettknits the brows, the sound that shespokewas very weak, but was actually full of the suspicionflavor.
“这不应该是问你么?”茜皱了皱眉,她说话的声音很虚弱,但却充满了怀疑的味道。„No, no, how is this matter?”Currancannot bear the browdeeplock, hesaidtoMedissa: „Can little girl, holdmeto lookin the past.”
“不,不,这是怎么一回事?”库兰忍不住眉头深锁,他对身边的梅蒂莎说道:“小姑娘,能不能扶我过去看一下。”Medissalooks atBrandowith the inquirylook, youngsternodded. Healsooncepassed throughhere, knows that thisold personhas not lain, hereindeedshould nothavesuch a door.梅蒂莎用询问的眼神看着布兰多,年轻人点了点头。他也曾经过这里,知道这个老人并没有撒谎,这里的确不应该存在这样一扇门。Hehas a suspicion, butalsoneedsto confirm.
他有一个怀疑,但还需要确认。Little Silver Elven Princessaccording to the word the line, holdsoldSword Masterto walk, the lattertried to find outwith the hand a thatleaficy, the heavygreatgate, in the mouthmuttered: „Thisis how possible, thisis how possible......”银精灵小公主依言而行,扶着年迈的剑术大师走过去,后者用手摸索了一下那扇冷冰冰的、沉重的巨门,口中喃喃自语:“这怎么可能,这怎么可能……”
