„He is showing good will to us.” Makarov replied succinctly. “他在向我们示好。”马卡罗简练地答道。 „interesting.” Count of Violet smiles, although that youngster the conduct is impulsive, is not rash, is very indeed interesting ; But the opposite party sends this letter/believes in this ingenious time, in his opinion truly was wonderful to the extreme. “有点意思。”紫罗兰伯爵笑了笑,那个年轻人虽然行事冲动,却不莽撞,的确很有意思;而对方在这个巧妙的时机送来这封信,在他看来真正是妙到了极点。 This obviously is not a coincidence. 这显然并非巧合。 Barry raises head looked around Makarov one, thought that this old fox also saw certainly this point. However actually does the opposite party want what? 巴力抬起头看了一旁的马卡罗一眼,心想这头老狐狸一定也看到了这一点。不过对方究竟想要什么呢？ If wants actual support- only paper throws letter that described is not continually, some were extremely rather naive. Can mail out such a person of letter/believes, so will not be weak. 如果想要实际的支持-单凭一纸连投名状都算不上的信笺,未免有些太过天真。能寄出这样一封信的人,想必不会如此幼稚。 Merely what if wants is royalist and commitment of Princess influence, then after he how prepares to reduce and solve the actual crisis? 但如果仅仅要的是王党与公主势力的一个承诺,那么他又准备怎么化解之后的实际危机呢？ Idle talk white fang may not have the means to resist mighty force- 空口白牙可没办法抵挡千军万马- Count of Violet produced the enormous curiosity suddenly, this youngster this act has, if in wire walking, danger and exciting will of the people. But makes him feel what is interesting is- he or first time result of not being able to see through a matter. 紫罗兰伯爵忽然产生了极大的好奇,这个年轻人此举有若在走钢丝,危险而又刺激人心。但更让他感到有意思的是-他还是第一次看不穿一件事的结果。 Interesting. 有意思。 „Nothing but wants to make us keep out wind and rain forget it/that's all for him,” Lockwood knits the brows: „That has that good matter, Her Highness the Princess, if we promised him, but will offend Count of Radnor greatly.” “无非是想让我们为他遮风挡雨罢了,”利伍兹皱了皱眉:“那有那么好的事,公主殿下,如果我们答应了他,可是会大大地得罪让德内尔伯爵。” Princess Gryphine knits the brows, Count of Radnor this name to her is not a reliable ally, is more like to hang in the back knife. 格里菲因公主皱了皱眉,让德内尔伯爵这个名字对她来说并不是一个可靠的盟友,更像是一把悬在背后的刀子。 But this old fogy has not indicated the attitude after all, just like her teacher said that if instead compel a Eldest Prince side him, that rather is unwise. 可这老家伙毕竟还没表明态度,正如她的老师所说如果自己反而把他逼到王长子一方,那也未免太不明智了。 „Snort, an old fox.” half-elven girl somewhat rubbed the forehead agitated. “哼,一头老狐狸。”半精灵少女有些烦躁地揉了揉额头。 „I think that youngster will not know this,” Makarov thinks, inserts the tastes: „He and Count of Radnor which is the lighter and which is the heavier in our hearts- he will not understand.” “我想那个年轻人不会不知道这点,”马卡罗想了一下,插口道:“他与让德内尔伯爵在我们心中孰轻孰重-他不会不了解。” „Minister Makarov, you mean-” Princess Gryphine slightly hesitates, silver pupil slightly one bright. She looks on the desk that letter/believes. “马卡罗卿,你的意思是-”格里菲因公主略一沉吟,银色的眸子微微一亮。她看着书桌上那封信。 „Such being the case, why does he also want to send this to believe?” Makarov asked back: „I think that is not will be used to taunt our Intelligence-” “既然如此,他为什么还要寄这封信来？”马卡罗反问:“我想不会是用来嘲讽我们诸位的智力的罢-” This smart-alecky words make nearby Count of Violet show a faint smile. 这句俏皮的话让一旁的紫罗兰伯爵微微一笑。 The Princess Gryphine look was also gentle. 格里菲因公主的神色也柔和了一些。 Only had Lockwood gently snort/hum. 只有利伍兹轻轻哼了一声。 „Very much so, so-called keeps out wind and rain also two meanings,” Count Barry approves of the viewpoint of Makarov very much, „I think that this youngster shows good will to us, actually do not turn to us, his very clear one's own status.” “正是如此,所谓遮风挡雨也有两层意思,”巴力伯爵很赞同马卡罗的观点,“我想这个年轻人向我们示好,却并不是要投靠我们,他很清楚自己的身份。” „Does he want to do?” Grandmaster Lockwood snow white eyebrow selects slightly, is somewhat puzzled. Although he is Aouine chief Court Magician, but the lifetime energy invests in studying more profound magic skill, among the battle regarding noble is short to understand. “那他想干什么？”利伍兹大师雪白的眉毛微微一挑,有些不解。他虽然是埃鲁因首席宫廷魔术师,但毕生精力都投入在学习更高深的魔法技巧上,对于贵族之间的争斗还是欠缺了解。 „He wants to do, hasn't he written very expressly?” This Count of Violet shows a faint smile. “他想干什么,他不是已经写得很明确了么？”这位紫罗兰伯爵微微一笑。 Although Grandmaster Lockwood is not good at estimating the will of the people, but can arrive at these on Path of Wizard step after all is the wisdom excellent generation, a reminder realizes slightly: „You said, he hopes we did acknowledge his these words?” 利伍兹大师虽然不善于揣摩人心,但能在巫师之路上走到这一步毕竟是智慧过人之辈,稍一提醒就省悟过来:“你们是说,他希望我们承认他的这些话？” He knits the brows, although he has no good impression to that youngster, but has saying that if this can obtain the good intentions of opposite party, then this investment is very cost-effective. 他皱了皱眉,虽然对那个年轻人他没什么好印象,可不得不说如果这样就可以获得对方的善意,那么这个投资还是很划算的。 The old person understands that one's own status- he first is Aouine's Court Wizard, at present this Half-Elven Princess teacher, is wizard Lockwood, after individual likes and dislikes must place the benefit of this group . 老人明白自己的身份-他首先是埃鲁因的宫廷法师,眼前这位半精灵公主的导师,然后才是巫师利伍兹,个人的好恶必须放在这个团体的利益之后。 „Does not need to acknowledge, the default was OK.” Makarov is in everyone sees clearly the Brando's intention: „This youngster goal is very clear, in view of Count of Radnor, but he must avoid causing everyone to rally together to attack.” “不必承认,默认就可以了。”马卡罗是所有人中把布兰多的意图看得最清楚的:“这个年轻人的目标很明确,就是针对让德内尔伯爵,但他要避免引得所有人群起而攻之。” „But his behavior, has been initiating to all noble challenged, but also dares to usurp a legitimate noble territory from no one, this precedent-” old person somewhat worried that shakes the head. “但他这个行为,已经是在向所有贵族发起挑战了,还从没有一个人敢强占一个合法的贵族的领地的,这个先例-”老人有些担忧地摇摇头。 „This youngster has not usurped.” Count Barry shakes the head, somewhat said funnily. “这个年轻人并没有强占嘛。”巴力伯爵摇摇头,有些好笑地说。 Makarov looked at his one eyes, in the heart felt strange why this always no Count of Violet by chance can be partial to that youngster. However he replied: „That must look how others understood, how the most important thing is we understood, sometimes a excuse and naked tearing to pieces facial skin are completely different two matters,” Makarov replied: „In he believes said, the demon stone of record information, Her Highness the Princess has looked?” 马卡罗看了他一眼,心中奇怪这位一向没什么偏好的紫罗兰伯爵为什么会偏向那个年轻人。不过他还是答道:“那要看其他人怎么理解,最重要的是我们怎么理解,有时候一个借口和赤裸裸的撕破脸皮是完全不同的两回事,”马卡罗答道:“他信上说,记录信息的魔石,公主殿下看过了么？” „Has looked.” Gryphine nods: „Indeed has the Madara's army, but also incessantly tiny bit,” half-elven girl gently snort/hum: „Between Count of Radnor and Madara is dirty I not to do to inquire, but-” “看过了。”格里菲因点点头:“的确有玛达拉的军队,还不止一点半点,”半精灵少女轻轻哼了一声:“让德内尔伯爵与玛达拉之间的龌龊我不想多做过问,不过-” She has not spoken as follows, but in the words the discontented meaning is obvious. 她没有说完下文,不过话里不满的意思已经非常明显了。 „Preparation is very sufficient.” What Count Barry said is Brando, he appreciated that youngster more and more. “准备很充分。”巴力伯爵说的是布兰多,他越来越欣赏那个年轻人了。 „Then receives to come to see us to obtain what advantage,” Makarov kept a serious look: „We are impossible to give up Count of Radnor, that youngster very clear this point. But a little makes me very surprised.” “那么接下来看看我们能得到什么好处,”马卡罗的表情严肃起来:“我们不可能放弃让德内尔伯爵,那个年轻人很清楚这一点。但有一点让我很吃惊。” Everyone visits him, waits for this crafty fox as follows. 所有人都看着他,等待这位狡狐的下文。 „He saw relations between us and Count of Radnor probably, his meaning wants to become a board game piece by oneself.” “他好像看出了我们与让德内尔伯爵之间的关系,他的这一层意思是想让自己成为一个棋子。” „Board game piece?” Grandmaster Lockwood is puzzled. “棋子？”利伍兹大师不解。 „Fierce!” The Count Barry eye actually shone, even he has not seen this meaning: „This forces a Count of Radnor good chess!” “厉害！”巴力伯爵眼睛却亮了起来,连他都没看出这一层意思:“这是逼迫让德内尔伯爵的一步好棋！” „Yes,” Makarov nods, unlike this Count of Violet pleasant surprise- some of his actually hearts startled, first did not say how Brando guesses correctly about their royalist in regarding the view of peripheral influence, is this regarding the Aouine situation foresight, makes him have to enhance vigilance sufficiently secretly: „This youngster shows good will to us at this moment, Count of Radnor does not know, among noble does not have secret-” “是的,”马卡罗点点头,与这位紫罗兰伯爵的惊喜不同-他却有些心惊,先不说布兰多是怎么猜出关于他们王党内部对于周边势力的看法,就是这份对于埃鲁因大势的远见,就足以让他不得不暗自提高警惕:“这个年轻人此刻向我们示好,让德内尔伯爵不会不知道,贵族之间没有秘密-” „,” He continues saying: „You think how that old fox will consider? If he went to the side of Archduke of Anlieke at this time, what condition then he will face?” “那么,”他继续说道:“你们认为那头老狐狸会如何考虑？如果他这个时候投向安列克大公一边,那么他会面临一个什么样的境况？” „Carries the abdomen by the enemy.” “背腹受敌。” Count of Violet calmly listens to these words in the one side, not being able to bear looks earnestly this two temples are graying, but the elegant demeanor actually now as much as ever royalist past lead(er) soldier thing, in the heart could not bear muse: 紫罗兰伯爵在一旁静静听完这番话,忍不住认真地看着身边这位两鬓已经斑白,但风采却不减当年的王党过去的领军人物,心中忍不住暗想: Also only then this talent can look so thoroughly, really experience counts. 也只有此人才能看得如此透彻,果然姜还是老的辣。 „What advantage but does he make?” The Princess Gryphine hear the Makarov words, nodded approved: „From being willing to become our board game piece, if Count of Radnor sides with us, we possibly abandon him momentarily, he will not understand this point.” “可他这么做有什么好处么？”格里菲因公主听完马卡罗的话,点了点头表示认可:“自甘愿成为我们的一枚棋子,如果让德内尔伯爵倒向我们,我们随时可能抛弃他,他不会不明白这一点。” Grandmaster Lockwood was startled, listens to a Makarov such saying, he felt that youngster as if not disgusting, but the old person said hesitant: „Perhaps that youngster to our some favorable impressions, he does that probably is not necessarily willing to turn to us, said now this time again also only then we can overwhelm this matter for him-” 利伍兹大师一怔,听马卡罗这么一说,他又觉得那个年轻人似乎也不是么让人厌恶,不过老人还是犹豫道:“那个年轻人好像对我们有些好感,他这么做说不定未必不是愿意投靠我们,再说现在这个时候也只有我们可以为他盖下这件事-” Count Barry looked at this old man one eyes, thought that Scholar is Scholar, therefore could not become the politician forever. His connection: „This youngster wants is very simple, plays to balance game. He is standing in line, and recognized that Radnor will not go to the side of us-” 巴力伯爵看了这位老者一眼,心想学者就是学者,所以永远成为不了政客。他接口:“这个年轻人要的很简单,玩平衡游戏而已。他是在站队,并且认定让德内尔不会投向我们一边-” „Good gambler.” At this time out broadcast a sound, Knight opened the door, let outside one noble that is throwing over the mink coat walked. “好一个赌徒。”这时门外传来一个声音,门外的骑士打开门,让外面一个披着貂皮大衣的贵族走了进来。 That familiar face Makarov Is startled Oberbeck slightly, he in the past also when royalist, the opposite party was astute competent youngster. 那张熟悉的脸马卡罗微微一怔-欧弗韦尔,他当年还在王党内时,对方不过是个精明能干的年轻人。 But on this moment that young face impulsed and sharp qi has retreated, the makings even more become calm and sharp. 但此刻那张原本年轻的脸上冲动与锐气已经退去,气质越发变得沉稳而锐利起来。 Oberbeck looked at Makarov one, bows to Princess slightly: „Your highness,” then also gave regards to Makarov: „Sir Makarov.” 欧弗韦尔看了马卡罗一眼,向公主微微躬身:“殿下,”然后又向马卡罗问好:“马卡罗大人。” Must say that now position of Oberbeck in royalist has been higher than year to year out of office Makarov faintly, but opposite party modest stance, makes Makarov enjoy greatly. 要说现在欧弗韦尔在王党内的地位已经隐隐高于常年在野的马卡罗,但对方这谦虚的姿态,却让马卡罗大为受用。 His nodded, the smile said: „Sir Oberbeck.” 他点了点头,微笑道:“欧弗韦尔大人。” „Does not need to be polite,” Wolf Knight raises head, replied: „Continues the beforehand topic. I think that Sir Makarov and Count Barry analyze to not be groundless, but asked that youngster to want anything, I had a few words to say-” “不必客气,”狼爵士抬起头,答道:“继续之前的话题罢。我认为马卡罗大人和巴力伯爵分析得不无道理,不过问到那个年轻人想要什么,我有一句话要说-” In the room calms down. 屋子里静下来。 Everyone's vision goes to this unexpected visitor, particularly Princess Gryphine. Because presents among everyone, only then she knows only then this Wolf Knight most understands that named Brando's youngster. 所有人的目光投向这位不速之客,尤其是格里菲因公主。因为在场所有人当中,只有她知道只有这位狼爵士最了解那个叫做布兰多的年轻人。 Oberbeck observes the situation for a week, smiled: „Some people have not become the value of board game piece, is the mediocre person. Some people do not become others 's board game piece voluntarily, this is Fool.” 殴弗韦尔环视一周,笑了一下:“有些人没有成为棋子的价值,是庸者。有些人不自觉地成为他人的棋子,这是愚者。” „But probably this youngster becomes our board game pieces equally on own initiative, this is a chess player.” “但像是这个年轻人一样主动成为我们的棋子的,这是棋手。” „Chess player?” “棋手？” „Yes, that feared that is only controlling a board game piece, but that could also be called is a chess player. At this chessgame, he has stood with us in an altitude.” Oberbeck stops: „He is a board game piece, we are, nothing but is the resources that has are more.” “是的,那怕只控制着一枚棋子,但那也称得上是棋手了。只是在这盘棋局上,他已经和我们站在了一个高度上。”欧弗韦尔一停:“他是棋子,我们又何尝不是,无非是拥有的资源更多一些而已。” The people are silent. 众人默然。 „Therefore Minister Oberbeck, you mean he must participate in this game,” then even this half-elven girl felt somewhat inconceivable, her took a light breath: „This pay a small price for big rewards in return, this also was too exasperating.” “所以欧弗韦尔卿,你的意思是他也要参与到这场游戏中来,”这下连这位半精灵少女都感到有些不可思议了,她轻轻吸了一口气:“这岂不是空手套白狼,这也太气人了一些。” „Yes,” Wolf Knight shakes the head, sees the helplessness in opposite party eyes with crafty fox Makarov mutually: „What is helpless, we also only then the choice accept, because his proposition to us is the most advantageous one choice.” “是啊,”狼爵士摇摇头,与狡狐马卡罗互相看到对方眼中的无奈:“无奈的是,我们还只有选择接受,因为他的提议对我们来说是最有利的一种选择。” „Sly fellow.” Grandmaster Lockwood shakes the head, suddenly felt oneself should not participate in this discussion. He rubbed the forehead. “狡猾的家伙。”利伍兹大师摇摇头,忽然觉得自己不该参与到这个讨论中来。他揉了揉额头。 „What to do then we should?” The old person somewhat asked one exhaustedly. “那么我们应该怎么办？”老人有些疲惫地问了一句。 „Smoothed over differences is OK.” Wolf Knight gives the final word: „Remaining-” “和稀泥就可以了。”狼爵士一锤定音:“剩下的-” He shows a faint smile: „Looked that little fellow performs and that's the end.” 他微微一笑:“看那个小家伙表演就是了。” Performance? 表演？ Everyone feels inconceivable, cannot bear worry in the one side to Brando most confident Ike. A side is anything no youngster, a side is shrewd and crafty and powerful Count of Radnor. 所有人都感到不可思议,就连对布兰多最信心十足的艾柯也忍不住在一旁担忧起来。一方是什么都没有的年轻人,一方是老奸巨猾、势力庞大的让德内尔伯爵。 Perhaps behind Brando has Silver Elf, but Silver Elf had indicated will not meddle the Aouine internal dispute. 或许布兰多背后有银精灵,但银精灵已经表明了不会插手埃鲁因内部的纷争。 Actually then his confidence does come from where? 那么他的信心究竟是从何而来？ Among everyone, only then a Princess Gryphine person looked looking pensive to another report on table. That reported that only writes simple words: 所有人当中,只有格里菲因公主一个人若有所思地看向了桌子上的另一份报告。那份报告上只写着一句简单的话: Trentheim, Knight Minteye disastrous defeat- 托尼格尔,敏泰爵士惨败-
