Has been able to see the corner of open Hazell great plains in the Lucita west side, under the boundless view of night, the jet black sky and horizon fuses together, the stars reflect, as if no end. 在鲁施塔的西边就已经能看到开阔的哈泽尔大平原的一角,在茫茫夜色下,漆黑的天空与地平线融为一体,繁星倒映,仿佛没有尽头。 The Brando's team stays in ling woods, here nearby has a village, the lights of twinkle star transmits by the forest shadow from afar, but the edge of woods to south are situated above a stretch of open Xiaogaodi, henceforth looks to south, beyond the southwest more than ten li (0.5 km) is Samburg, Stee Roy Lake sparking boundary line is clearly discernible. 布兰多的队伍停留在一片柃树林中,这里附近有一座农庄,星星点点的灯火透过林影远远传来,而树林向南的边缘坐落在一片开阔的小高地之上,从此地向南看去,西南十多里之外就是桑堡,斯特罗伊湖闪亮的边际线清晰可见。 Goes out of town already half an hour. 出城已经半个钟头。 People who go to search walked quickly dejectedly. 出去搜索的人们很快垂头丧气地走了回来。 „Without finding which witch?” “没有找到哪个女巫吗？” „No.” “没有。” „Hadn't found Babasha they?” “没有找到巴巴莎她们吗？” „No.” “没有。” „Ciel did they come back?” “夏尔他们回来了吗？” „Also no.” “也没有。” Brando one after another closely examines one by one, but obtains is the disappointed answers, said as usual, if that witch goes well, should wait for them here. 布兰多一个个挨个追问,但得到的都是失望的答案,照例说如果那个女巫得手的话,早就应该在这里等他们。 Even if the opposite party lies, then Babasha their little while will still arrive. 而即使对方撒了谎,那么巴巴莎她们这会儿也应该到了。 The news that but in fact obtains was two groups of people all did not have the message. 但实际上得到的消息是两拨人皆了无音讯。 Even Ciel and Scippamira they do not have the news, seemed missing in the city, existence of having a nightmare clan by breeding confusion Lucita nearby spirit / mind network, the latter even/including finally and method of contact lost hand/subordinate. 甚至连夏尔、希帕米拉她们都毫无消息,仿佛失踪在了城里,魇族的存在由搞乱了鲁施塔附近的心灵网络,后者连最后和自己手下联络的手段都失去了。 The situation is worse than the imagination, although he knows early the plan of making may have all kinds of accidents/surprises, but such development made him unexpected. 情况比想象中还要糟糕,虽然他早知道制订的计划可能会出现各种各样的意外,但这样的发展还是令他意想不到。 Is good in the final people found kept Kouha outside city beforehand, when they hit the latter, a young girl of this black hair is red the both feet to sit above huge white wolf, is reflecting the bright moonlight. As if elf in forest. 好在最后众人还是找到了事先留在城外的寇华,当他们撞到后者时,这个一头黑发的少女正赤着双脚坐在一匹巨大的白狼之上,映着皎洁的月光。仿佛森林之中的精灵似的。 „Seemed like you to meet troublesome.” Kouha expressed as always joyfully regarding the Brando's bad mood, she passes to like in the pain of mortal seeking joyfully, but the pleasure is short now, or became selected food, changed only tastes a pain of Brando person alone. “看起来你遇上了麻烦。”寇华一如既往地对于布兰多的糟糕心情表示了愉悦,她过去喜欢在凡人的痛苦之中寻找快乐,但如今乐趣少了很多,或者说变得挑食了,改成只单独品尝布兰多一个人的痛苦了。 However seems like the flavor is not bad. 不过看起来味道还不差。 „Do you have Babasha their news?” Brando is frowning to stare at this female wolf. “你有巴巴莎她们的消息么？”布兰多皱着眉头盯着这头母狼。 „They kept the news to you. Let me transmit to you, how could otherwise did you find me?” “她们给你留了消息。让我传达给你们,不然你们岂能找到我？” „Your younger sister in my hand.” “你妹妹在我手上。” The Kouha good mood to lose immediately completely, makes wū wū the sound with clenched jaws, seems roaring in a low voice. 寇华的好心情顿时损失殆尽,咬牙切齿地发出呜呜的声音,仿佛在低声咆哮。 „Said that they said anything.” “说吧,她们说了什么。” „Your woman still on The Silver Queen, but that witch has not deceived you. She was shifted beforehand.” “你的女人仍在白银女王手上,不过那个女巫没有骗你。她只是事先被转移走了而已。” „Did our news disclose?” “我们的消息走漏了？” „Person who your side harbors evil intentions not, only then my.” Kouha sneers saying: „Some are the person looks forward to you to have bad luck, naturally this must be counted my one.” “你身边不怀好意的人又不只有我一个。”寇华冷笑道:“有的是人巴不得你倒霉呢,当然这也要算上我一个。” „You say Delphine?” The Brando facial color sinks slightly: „Is impossible, she does not have the opportunity, Medissa to monitor her.” “你是说德尔菲恩？”布兰多面色微微一沉:“不可能,她没有机会,梅蒂莎监视着她。” „She has not betrayed you, but only needed not to take is OK.” “她没有出卖你,但只需要不作为就可以了。” „What do you mean.” “什么意思。” „Has a dream.” “做梦。” Brando responded. The strength to their levels, can easily control the one's own dreamland, therefore spell of witches control dreamland does not have the significance regarding the willpower strong person, latter needing easily did not only enter the dreamland to be OK by oneself. 布兰多反应了过来。力量到了他们这个层次,可以轻易控制自己的梦境,因此女巫们操控梦境的法术对于意志力坚强的人来说毫无意义,后者只需要让自己不轻易进入梦境就可以了。 By the Delphine intelligence and ability, will not have thought of this point, but she has not actually said that when in other words she when falling asleep, witches has invaded the cat and beard inn more than once. 以德尔菲恩的聪明才智,不会没想到这一点,但她却从来没有提出来过,也就是说当她在入梦时,女巫们就已经不止一次侵入过猫与胡须旅店了。 He and Medissa thinks arranges to go to the inn outside Kent. Actually forgot this. 他和梅蒂莎想到了将老肯特安排到旅店外去住。却忘了这一茬。 He silent moment, asked: „Babasha did they only say this?” 他沉默了片刻,才又问道:“巴巴莎她们只说了这个？” „They pursued your woman.” “她们去追你的女人了。” „How long?” “多久？” „This I do not know,” Kouha visits him in turn ridiculing: „Hey. What to do do you plan?” “这我可不知道,”寇华反过来戏谑地看着他:“喂。你打算怎么办？” Brando coldly swept her one eyes, has not replied her slightly the meaning of this issue. 布兰多冷冷地扫了她一眼,丝毫没有回答她这个问题的意思。 He returns among the people, these Kirrlutz nobles were very interested to Kouha, since some people were almost pulled strings by the latter Black Wolf cuts by biting the arm, these people to this Witch kept at a respectful distance, even to can order her Brando to be of many some colors awe. 他回到众人中间,那些克鲁兹贵族们原先还对寇华十分有兴趣,不过自从有人差点被后者指使黑狼咬断胳膊之后,这些人就对这头魔女敬而远之了,甚至连带对可以命令她的布兰多都多了一些敬畏之色。 „What to do do you plan?” “你打算怎么办？” After the prime minister Nederhoven hear Brando's stated that. Asked a exactly the same question. 宰相尼德文听完了布兰多的陈述之后。问了一个一模一样的问题。 Brando almost gawked the moment, granddaughter who realizes Delphine this great person. However former calm low-key, in every word and deed all contains the wisdom. The latter misses obviously too, although equally intelligent excellent, but actually extremely makes a great show of one's talents to make one dread. 布兰多几乎愣了片刻,才意识到德尔菲恩正是这位大人物的孙女。不过前者沉稳低调,一言一行中皆蕴含着智慧。后者显然差得太远,虽然一样聪明过人,但却太过锋芒毕露令人忌惮。 Even sometimes simply is an out-and-out female lunatic, the bomb of indefinite tense. 甚至有时候简直就是一个不折不扣的女疯子,不定时的炸弹。 Such person incessantly is he, perhaps Her Majesty the Queen extremely will not like, that supreme one will not tolerate absolutely in the one's own authority in the field has such a wild and intractable fellow to exist. 这样的人不止是他,恐怕女王陛下也不会太过喜欢,那位至高者绝对不会容忍在自己的权力范围之内有这么一个桀骜不驯的家伙存在。 In this regard, Delphine displays obviously is far from her grandfather being far-seeing, the politics is the art of compromise, rather than the smart person pulls wrist. 在这一点上,德尔菲恩表现得显然远远没有她的祖父有远见,政治是妥协的艺术,而不是聪明人扳手腕。 Has saying that this young lady made the quite bad mood to him again, approximately sees this point, this empire old prime minister will export to inquire on own initiative. 不得不说这位小姐再一次给他制造了相当糟糕的心情,大约是看出这一点,这位帝国年迈的宰相才会主动出口相询。 Because in the beforehand conversation, this prime minister Sir, although has not displayed what evil intention, but vague between also shows a keeping at a respectful distance attitude to him, obviously looks like an empire high-level universal cognition to be the same, empire civil strife in any event, is the empire person one's own business, not being able to allow the bystander to meddle. 因为在之前的交谈中,这位宰相大人虽然没表现出什么恶意,但若有若无之间也对他透出一种敬而远之的态度,显然就像是一位帝国高层普遍的认知一样,帝国内乱无论如何,也是帝国人自己的事务,容不得外人插手的。 Not to mention is prime minister Nederhoven such surface is humble, actually innermost feelings arrogant incomparable person. 更不用说是宰相尼德文这样表面谦逊,实则内心高傲无比的人。 But in any event, was Brando make a move helped busy of their old fogy, let alone the latter could be said as rescued his granddaughter life indirectly, the statesman of this time has not evolved to the degree that can repudiate a debt face to face, he stood, was not only for also a Brando favor, mistake that also to make up for the granddaughter created. 但无论如何,是布兰多出手帮了他们这一众老家伙的忙,何况后者可以说是间接救了他孙女一命,这个时代的政治家还没有进化到可以当面赖账的程度,他站出来,既是为了还布兰多一个人情,也是为了弥补自己孙女造成的过错。 Brando thought deeply about the moment. 布兰多思索了片刻。 „I must rescue Scarlett, if Babasha they have not pursued the person, then I, only then enters a city again.” “我必须要救出茜,如果巴巴莎她们没有追到人,那么我只有再次进城。” „That is not good,” others have not opened the mouth. Nearby Veronica broke him: „You underestimated Her Majesty the Queen, the little fellow, you thinks that your arrangement in the Hanlu manor hit her one to be caught off guard? Now looks like that is only she is testing you, you return to Lucita again, walks into a trap.” “那不行,”其他人尚未开口。一旁的维罗妮卡就打断了他:“你太小看女王陛下了,小家伙,你以为你在寒露庄园的安排打了她一个措手不及？现在看来那只是她在试探你,你再回鲁施塔,就是自投罗网。” On other noble faces on the scene mostly also shows the look that varies respectively. But what almost expressed was the similar meaning, obviously escaped from the imperial capital with great difficulty, no one is willing to go back again. 在场的其他贵族脸上大多也露出各自不一的神色。但几乎表达出来的是同样的意思,显然好不容易才逃出帝都,没有人愿意再回去。 They escape all the way, although has not met Dragon Queen by luck again, has not met Sidney and Veronica mouth Andersia and other Tree Shepherds, but this will not represent enters a city so is also lucky again. Let alone situation everyone all the way is obvious to all, perhaps at this moment entire Lucita has become a hopeless mess randomly. 他们一路上逃出来,虽然侥幸没有再遇上龙后,也没遇上西德尼与维罗妮卡口中的安德莎等牧树人,但这不代表再次进城也会如此幸运。何况一路上的情形所有人有目共睹,此刻整个鲁施塔恐怕都已经乱成一锅粥了。 Who can be willing to step into the strategic place again? 谁会愿意再次踏入险地？ Brando naturally also understands this truth, for this time acted he is the card in a hand performs, may not have the situation that the tentative plan arrived at is too many, particularly Dragon Queen dares to disregard the threat of dragons unexpectedly. Appears in Lucita swaggering, this stemmed from him to be unexpected greatly. 布兰多自然也明白这个道理,为了这次行动他已经是底牌尽出了,可没设想到的情形还是太多,尤其是龙后竟然敢无视巨龙们的威胁。大摇大摆地出现在鲁施塔,这大大地出乎了他的预料之外。 If begins he also 50% assurances in the Hanlu manor for the first time, now kills to enter a city in again, feared that is 10% hopes does not have. 如果说第一次在寒露庄园动手他还有50%的把握的话,现在再一次杀进城内,怕是10%的希望都没有。 This already nearly in staking everything on a single throw of the dice of gambler. 这已经近乎于赌徒的孤注一掷了。 But he must make the choice. 可他必须做出选择。 Now not only then Scarlett falls in the city, Ciel, Mordefeys and Andelique have Scippamira not to have the message, he impossible to throw one's own any subordinate in behind does not manage. 现在不仅仅只有茜陷在城内,夏尔、墨德菲斯、安德丽格还有希帕米拉都没有音讯,他不可能将自己的任何一个手下丢在后面不管。 „Teacher......” “老师……” Fina saw latter's difficult position obviously, her some are not cruel enough to look to Teacher one's own, in her opinion is Brando rescues these nobles. In order to achieve this goal, the opposite party paid so many, they manage to be responsible for this reason. 法伊娜显然看出了后者的困境,她有些不忍心地看向自己的老师,在她看来是布兰多将这些贵族们救出来的。为了达成这个目的,对方付出了这么多,他们理应当为此负责的。 At least cannot reveal the attitude of like this disregarding. Bitterly disappointing. 至少不能表露出这样不管不顾的态度来。令人心寒。 Veronica sighed, patted the shoulder of student gently: „You, if made the decision, no matter what decided, I will accompany your, little fellow.” 维罗妮卡叹了口气,轻轻拍了拍自己学生的肩膀:“不过你如果做出了决定的话,无论是什么决定,我都会陪同你的,小家伙。” Veronica can say, Brando is not surprised. He knows that this is her swordsmanship, but in any event. In his heart is very grateful. 维罗妮卡能这么说,布兰多并不惊讶。他知道这是她的剑道,不过无论如何。他心中还是十分感激的。 Since has run into this Sir Sword Saint, the opposite party helped his big busy more than once. From the innermost feelings, he had even regarded as the elder such character of the opposite party. 自从遇到这位剑圣大人以来,对方就不止一次帮了他不小的忙。从内心中来说,他甚至已经把对方看做了自己长辈这样的人物了。 Not to mention relations that opposite party and between his teacher —— Grey Sword Saint Mephisto are unable to state clearly. 更不用说对方和他的老师——灰剑圣梅菲斯特之间无法言明的关系。 However what makes his surprised is, many Kirrlutz noble on the scene also expressed the similar meaning unexpectedly one after another, he somewhat looks at the nobles —— in his mind these people in these empires surprised, that feared that is Fina father and elder brothers' such character is also good, what may never be good with it generation, two-faced is almost these noble footnotes, when these upper reaches did noble become speaks well? 不过让他惊讶的是,在场的许多克鲁兹贵族竟也陆陆续续表达了同样的意思,他有些吃惊地看着这些帝国的贵族们——在他的印象中这些人,那怕是法伊娜的父兄这样的人物也好,可从来不是什么善与之辈,腹黑几乎是这些贵族的注脚,这些上流贵族什么时候变得这么好说话了？ He cannot bear look to nearby prime minister Nederhoven, this old person did not say a word, but calmly waits for him to make the decision, but this great person does not say a word, has indicated some attitude. 他忍不住看向一旁的宰相尼德文,这位老人一言不发,只是静静地等着他作决定,但这位大人物不发一言,就已经表明了某种态度。 „We first are soldier, Mr Count.” And noble said to Brando: „At this moment we on a ship, so long as you make the decision, our command prompt.” “我们首先是军人,伯爵先生。”其中一个贵族对布兰多说道:“此刻我们在一条船上,只要你做决定,我们就服从命令。” Brando listens to the potential meaning in these words finally, the key point is ‚we on the same strip ship’, Kirrlutz nobles as before astutely as before, but in any event, in his heart some feelings. 布兰多总算听出这句话里的潜在意思,重点在于‘我们在同一条船上’,克鲁兹的贵族们依旧精明如故,不过无论如何,他心中还是有些感触。 Has not worked finally white/in vain —— 总算没有白做事—— „Thanked everyone,” he replied: „I understand that your meanings, everyone please feel relieved, I will not make the decision carelessly, but easily will not give up the one's own goal, waits for half an hour again, without the news, I enters a city.” “非常感谢各位,”他答道:“我明白你们的意思,各位请放心,我不会草率地作决定,但也不会轻易地放弃自己的目地,再等半个钟头,如果没有消息,我就重新进城。” Brando looked at everyone one eyes on the scene. 布兰多看了在场的所有人一眼。 „As for everyone, can wait for me here, or the spontaneous organization goes to the Maze area in advance, I believe that The Silver Queen in next quite long a period of time will pull out not make a move to capture you.” “至于各位,可以在这里等我,或者自发组织先行前往梅兹地区,我相信在今后相当长一段时间内白银女王都抽不出手来追捕你们。” He said these words, was actually spur-of-the-moment, but knows, even if took these people still to have no function, these noble adds also and not on Veronica in the role that in the fight played, might as well sold a favor, during he power in this empire competes now can only choose to stand on the side of the sovereign eldest son, but once these people returned to the territory, is future Aouine in the empire potential ally. 他说出这番话,倒不是一时冲动,而是知道就算是带上这些人也没有任何作用,这些贵族在战斗中发挥的作用加起来也及不上一个维罗妮卡,还不如卖一个人情,他现在在这场帝国内部的权力争夺之中只能选择站在皇长子一边,而这些人一旦回到领地,就是将来埃鲁因在帝国潜在的盟友。 Now he also can only make so many for this ancient kingdom. 现在他也只能为这个古老的王国做这么多了。 But remaining, was his individual business. 而剩下的,就是他的个人事务了。 Scene silent. 现场沉默了下来。 Obviously, if can not die, no one meets to be willing to bring death. The Brando's words touched all noble on the scene, in upper-level empire noble eye that in these only Count of Tonigel could not contact, country bumpkin Thane that this Aouine comes at this moment also becomes big. 显然,如果可以不死的话,没有人会愿意去送死的。布兰多的话触动了在场的所有贵族,在这些原本区区一个托尼格尔伯爵根本接触不到的上层帝国贵族眼中,这位埃鲁因来的乡巴佬领主这一刻也变得高大起来。 They suddenly discovered, originally outside empire, there has first character of wind of ancient noble like this. 他们忽然发现,原来在帝国之外,也有这样拥有先古贵族之风的人物。 He does not fear dangerously, benevolent, tolerant, responded by one's own under greatest the loyalty, such noble, the time of as if only then in most sparkling can see. 他不惧危险,仁慈,宽容,回应以自己的属下最大程度的忠诚,这样的贵族,似乎只有在最闪耀的时代才能看到了。 „youngster,” Nederhoven opens the mouth suddenly slowly: „I and you go back together.” “年轻人,”尼德文忽然缓缓地开了口:“我和你一起回去。” Brando gawked, almost thinks oneself misunderstood. 布兰多愣了,差点以为自己听错了。 All Kirrlutzian on the scene also gawked, former prime minister Sir of subconsciously to this empire looks. 在场的所有克鲁兹人也都愣了,下意识地向这位帝国的前任宰相大人看去。 Prime minister is Nederhoven a great person? 宰相尼德文是怎么样一个大人物？ If you are not the empire person, you will be very difficult to understand clearly, early for dozens years, the empire people calling it ‚our prime minister’, this will be an exclusive title, besides old Nederhoven, no one can revere to enjoy, that feared that will be the empire first generation of most renowned these prime minister is also same. 若你不是帝国人,你很难了解得清楚,早几十年,帝国人将之称之为‘我们的宰相’,这是一个专有的称谓,除了老尼德文之外,没有任何人可以尊享,那怕是帝国先代最著名的那些宰相也是一样。 He created the royal power most centralized and prosperous era of empire single-handedly, said that he is a hero, he can deserve, said that he is a powerful minister, he can also confidently by it. 他一手缔造了帝国的王权最为集中与鼎盛的时代,说他是功臣,他可以当之无愧,说他是权臣,他也可以坦然受之。 In an empire noble average political life , is less than ten years, exactly said that is eight years of time, one of the prime minister Nederhoven in this position is 53 years, even until first before emperor just before the end, his latter's good friend. 在一个帝国贵族平均政治生命只有不到十年,确切的说是八年的时代,宰相尼德文在这个位置上一任就是五十三年,甚至直到先代皇帝临终之前,他都还是后者的挚友。 If said that in this world has the miracle, then this is a miracle. 若说这个世界上有奇迹,那么这已经就是一个奇迹。 His power extends to any corner of empire, but in ultimately actually completed almost the connection of not resorting to arms soldier, he goes down the shrine safely, gives The Silver Queen with an sovereign eldest son prosperous empire that succeeds to the throne after that even can also enjoy old age in peace. 他的权力延伸到帝国的任何一个角落,但在最后却完成了几乎是不动刀兵的交接,他安然走下神坛,交给白银女王与其后继位的皇长子一个鼎盛的帝国,甚至还可以安享晚年。 The direction that if the history knows according to Brando goes forward, rather than like this becomes at sixes and sevens. 如果说历史按照布兰多所知的方向前进,而不是这样变得乱七八糟的话。 But such a character, can be warm-blooded upwells, impulsive conduct noble? 而这样一个人物,会是个热血上涌,冲动行事的贵族么？ Obviously is not. 显然不是。 The background that then he spoke was worth discussing, even had previously made the decision nobles to appear some shake to get up. 那么他说话的背景就值得商榷了,甚至连先前已经做出决定的贵族们都显得有些动摇起来。 Only then nearby Sidney noticed that this frowned —— this said rarely actually not the saintess in this lion Saint palace looks like the woman not to knit the brows, but any expression is less appears on her face in fact, this slight look appears somewhat is also rare. 只有一旁的西德尼看到这一幕却少见地皱了皱眉头——这倒不是说这位狮子圣宫的圣女像女士不会皱眉,而是事实上任何表情都少于出现在她脸上,以至于这个细微的神色也显得有些罕见起来。 Brando not clear this point, but Sidney actually thinks, this is the second time that this senior prime minister proposed must see Her Majesty the Queen. 布兰多不清楚这一点,但西德尼却想到,这已经是这位老宰相第二次提出要去见女王陛下了。 could it be that he really thinks can oneself convince supreme one of that obstinate empire? 难道他真的以为自己可以说服那位刚愎自用的帝国的至高者？ This obviously is a red herring. 这显然是个伪命题。 The senior prime minister is absolutely impossible is so naive. If set such request one time, but also it can be said that could not see clearly the situation, if made a mistake again over and over, then he was not Nederhoven. 老宰相绝对不可能这么天真。如果说一次提出这样的要求,还可以说是看不清形势,如果一而再再三地犯错误,那么他就不是尼德文了。 Sidney cannot bear carefully observes the look on this old face, what a pity is she actually cannot see what clue, old Nederhoven as if not plan to relate in detail again in this issue, he only said such a few words, others do not dare to closely examine. 西德尼忍不住仔细观察这位老人脸上的神色,可惜的是她却看不出什么端倪,老尼德文似乎也不打算再在这个问题上细说下去,他只说了这么一句话,其他人不敢追问。 Actually nearby Nederhoven Jr. appears somewhat starts to speak but hesitates, but was pressed with the severe look by the one's own father. 倒是一旁的小尼德文显得有些欲言又止,但被自己的父亲用严厉的眼神压了下去。 Brando noticed this detail exactly. 布兰多恰好注意到了这个细节。 But he had not said, pondered the moment, does not dare easily to reply that any a few words of this empire prime minister, only replied: „Thanks but in any event, we first waited for half an hour.” 但他并未多说,思考了片刻,不敢轻易回答这位帝国宰相的任何一句话,只答道:“非常感谢,不过无论如何,我们先等待半个钟头。” Half an hour time is not long. 半个钟头的时间并不长。 But same will arrive in certain specific time long restlessly. 但在某些特定的时间内一样会漫长到令人坐立不安。 ......
