The time takes minute to step the step as the unit slowly forward, nobles secure calms down again, Veronica located to bring a map from Sidney, labelled several regions with the gravel and branch above: 时间以分钟为单位缓慢向前迈动步子,贵族们重新安静了下来,维罗妮卡从西德尼处拿来了一张地图,用石子和树枝在上面标注出几片区域: „Area the December Square as well as nearby are the people of riot, from south gate to each street in east gate, was stopped up watertight by them. When southern Queens, we pass through there notices to have the guard who minority values defend with the crowd of advance to confront, in brief these places are not suitable to pass.” “十二月广场以及附近一带都是暴乱的民众,从南门到东门的每条街道,都被他们堵得水泄不通。在皇后区南面,我们经过那里时注意到有少数值守的守卫在和前进的人群对峙,总之这些地方都不适合通过的。” She gesture, while the solution said: 她一边比划,一边解说道: „After entering the inner city, has the imperial guard guard, even if Patrol Cavalry and city health/guard army have problems, the army that these empire imperial families subordinate will still dedicate, here is also having the Flaming Knight group few Holy Cathedral clergies, even if there is high rank strength permeating, is impossible to disintegrate their battle efficiencies in a short time.” “进入内城之后有禁卫军把守,就算巡查骑兵与城卫军都出了问题,这些帝国皇室直属的军队也会尽忠职守,这里还驻扎着炎眷骑士团少量圣殿的僧侣,即使有高阶力量渗入,也不可能短时间内瓦解他们的战斗力。” She then looks to Brando, asked: „Do you have several tenths assurance?” 她回头看向布兰多,问道:“你有几成把握？” Brando shakes the head, tells the facts: „A entirely succeed does not have.” 布兰多摇了摇头,实话实说道:“一成都没有。” The night wind has blown the hump, across the woods, blows the map corner to make noise, presses scatters place in the above gravel branch, the people on the scene felt that all night depth is cold. 夜风吹过山岗,穿过树林,吹得地图的边角哗哗作响,压在上面的石子树枝也散落一地,在场的众人都感到彻夜的深寒。 Veronica has not cared about the map, is also not meaningful in any case, she looks at this Aouine youngster, among the looks thinks little, the answer of as if this issue should so. 维罗妮卡并没有在意地图,反正也没什么意义,她看着这个埃鲁因年轻人,神色间不以为忤,仿佛这个问题的答案本该如此。 Commandress and sound said: „People that then at least need to avoid the riot, they will perhaps become your boost.” 女军团长和声说道:“那么至少要避开暴乱的民众,他们说不定会成为你的助力。” „Perhaps is very difficult,” this time nearby Huo Meizi Baron opened the mouth saying that he was the Archduke of Floral Leaf eldest son, the Fina elder brother. This is youngster that has regular facial features, heavy features, soldier upright air/Qi: „The present unrest is far less than 23 years ago records, do not say that hangs changes the years turmoil, perhaps is very difficult to affect on the inner city.” “恐怕很难,”这个时候一旁的霍梅兹男爵开口道,他是花叶大公的长子,法伊娜的兄长。这是个五官端正、浓眉大眼的年轻人,一身军人的刚正之气:“眼下的骚乱远不如二十三年前的记录,更不要说垂变之年的动乱,恐怕很难对内城有所影响。” Others on the scene are silent, obviously cannot favor the opportunity that this turmoil brings. But Brando thought that is not simple, if behind the people of riot is Origin Association shadow but actually also forget it/that's all, but Tree Shepherds rarely returns empty-handed, once they start, decides however has attempted. 在场的其他人都沉默下来,显然都看不好这场动乱带来的机遇。但布兰多却觉得没那么简单,若暴乱的民众背后是万物归一会的影子倒也罢了,但牧树人很少空手而归,他们一旦发动,定然有所企图。 However he has not said the one's own idea, he knows that in this time, nobles is very difficult to obtain the faction between clear Demonic Cultist, that feared that is the Veronica like this generation of insight, often jumbles together Tree Shepherds and Origin Association. 不过他并没把自己的想法说出来,他知道在这个时代,贵族们很难分得清楚邪教徒之间的派系,那怕是维罗妮卡这样的有识之辈,也往往将牧树人与万物归一会混为一谈。 But he can mention the difference between this, could not explain why oneself will know so carefully about Demonic Cultist, this is one makes the topic that one abstains from very much, he said nothing simply. 而他能讲出这之间的差别,却解释不清楚自己为什么会对邪教徒了解得如此仔细,这是一个很令人忌讳的话题,他干脆闭口不谈。 Is tranquil with the Brando same facial color, the great person who perhaps senior prime minister Nederhoven, this once dominated the empire wind and cloud after was previously frightening everyone jumped becomes quiet, regarding the discussion not ginseng/partake word of people, only calmly looks on the one side, but the vigor is actually full, probably does not fear this cold Ye, in the eye that narrows is always glittering the energetic appearance. 和布兰多一样面色平静的,恐怕只有老宰相尼德文,这位曾经叱咤帝国风云的大人物在先前吓了所有人一跳之后又重新变得沉默寡言起来,对于众人的讨论也不参一言,只在一旁静静地旁观,不过精神头倒是十足,像是不惧这冷夜,眯起的眼睛里总是闪烁着奕奕神采。 In old Nederhoven Nederhoven Jr. hesitant moment, opens the mouth saying: „Her Majesty the Queen is very early knows that has the heathen to agitate the people in the back, no matter she did not ask, only fears to kill people the vertical prestige.” 在老尼德文身边的小尼德文犹豫了片刻,才开口道:“女王陛下很早就知道有异教徒在背后鼓动民众,她不管不问,只怕是为了杀人立威。” Said is Nederhoven Jr., but this current empire prime minister actually also over 60 years old, according to the Vaunde Black Iron races life span, entered the middle age, although he cannot the queen new, but in the taking part in government position draws back finally in the final time, queen the understanding and guess of political intention, in the people on the scene is it can be said that most authoritative. 说是小尼德文,但这位现任帝国宰相其实也有六十多岁,按照沃恩德黑铁之民的寿命来说,亦是步入了中年,他虽然不得女王新任,但总算在最后的时刻才从政位上退下来,对于女王的政治意图的了解与猜测,可以说是在场的众人中最为权威的。 „Vanquer area politics is not steady, the murder indeed is the best way.” Veronica nodded. “班克尔地区政治不稳,杀人的确是最好的办法。”维罗妮卡点了点头。 Only then Brando frowned, as coming from the person in civilized world, slaughters commoner such topic to call his some is not unacceptable, although he understands that such topic cannot be regarded anything regarding nobles. 只有布兰多皱了皱眉头,作为来自文明世界的人,屠杀平民这样的话题还是叫他有些无法接受,虽然他明白这样的话题对于贵族们来说算不得什么。 In the nature, the sociality animal also consumes the one's own population level to achieve frequently with the natural balance, human is also same, through the war or the internal friction, particularly in the time that the expansion is hard to start. 在自然界中,群居性动物也常常消耗自己的种群数量已达到与自然的平衡,人类也是一样,无论是通过战争还是内耗,尤其是在扩张举步维艰的时代。 The empire intimate turbulent root stems from the line of supply to shut off, moreover south of Maze and Evergreen Aisle war seems like hard to end for a short time, then long can only reduce consumes the population of grain. 帝国腹心动荡的根源还是源于补给线被切断,而且梅兹与长青走道以南的战争看起来一时半会难以终结,那么久只能减少消耗粮食的人口了。 „Does Sir Nederhoven, you think?” “尼德文大人,你认为呢？” Veronica looked around senior prime minister. 维罗妮卡将目光投向了一旁的老宰相。 Old Nederhoven then sighed: „Long ago, Her Majesty the Queen was not this.” 老尼德文这才叹了一口气:“早些年,女王陛下也不是这样的。” Brando gawked staring, has not expected the former prime minister in this empire to say such a few words, others are also similar, but the words of senior prime minister actually brought back some old noble- such as recollection of Hotto Archduke. 布兰多愣了愣,没料到这位帝国的前任宰相会说出这样一句话来,其他人也差不多,不过老宰相的话却勾起了年长一些的贵族-诸如梅霍托芬大公爵的回忆。 „Indeed,” latter nodded: „Your majesty will turn into today this appearance, is indeed unexpected.” “的确,”后者点了点头:“陛下会变成今天这个样子,的确是出乎预料的。” „How was your majesty before?” Brando asked suddenly. “陛下以前是怎么样的？”布兰多忽然问道。 His curiosity bursts out actually not suddenly, but realized old Nederhoven inserts this topic suddenly possibly is on purpose. 他倒不是好奇心突然迸发,而是意识到老尼德文突然插入这个话题可能是意有所指的。 „Veronica Army Commander should have a memory.” “维罗妮卡军团长应该有所记忆。” Veronica gawked, then slight nod: „Before Her Majesty the Queen was called empire best Princess, but that is her Princess time's matter.” 维罗妮卡愣了一下,然后才微微点头:“以前女王陛下被称之为帝国最善良的公主,不过那已经是她公主时代的事情了。” „I remember clearly,” Hotto Archduke said with a smile: „At that time we studied the noble etiquette in Griffing Imperial family school together, Her Highness the Princess frequently with our these youngster discussions in the future and ideal, she most pays attention naturally is the position of empire, but she thought Kirrlutzian is not possible at that time through the war, can seizes through the business and development prosperous and powerful......” “我倒记得清楚,”梅霍托芬大公爵笑道:“那时候我们一起在格里芬丝皇家学院学习贵族礼仪,公主殿下常常和我们这些年轻人谈论未来和理想,她最关注的当然是帝国的地位,不过那时候她认为克鲁兹人不一定要通过战争,也可以通过商业与发展来攫取繁荣与强盛……” „Yes, at that time I was firm the opposition,” Veronica could not bear also smile, as if recalled the age that youth flew upwards: „My age and Her Highness the Princess almost general size, can each time by her naive air/Qi half dead, that time Her Highness the Princess indeed and present difference were too many, she pays attention to the business especially, hopes that since through the expansion to Black Forest, and civilized internal trade ties has realized to return to the year of glory second civilized epacme.” “是的,那时候我可是坚定的反对派,”维罗妮卡忍不住也笑了起来,仿佛是记起了过去那个青春飞扬的年代:“我年纪和公主殿下差不多一般大小,每次都能被她的天真气个半死,不过那时候的公主殿下的确和眼下差太多了,她尤其关注商业,希望通过向黑森林的扩张,以及文明内部的贸易联系来实现重返荣耀之年以来的第二个文明的繁盛期。” Hears here, Brando cannot bear touch the nose, thought that this strategy somewhat is how familiar-sounding. 听到这里,布兰多忍不住摸了摸鼻子,心想这个策略怎么有些耳熟。 „To be honest,” the Commandress tone cannot bear be low: „I actually approve present her, but she splits the action of empire, is intolerable for me, moreover she to imperial princes make a move, violated nobles game rules.” “老实说,”女军团长的语气忍不住低落起来:“我其实更认同现在的她,但她分裂帝国的做法,为我所不能容忍,而且她对皇子们出手,违反了贵族们的游戏规则。” At this time, Brando realized suddenly oneself Her Majesty the Queen understanding of this empire were too few, in another historically, she was only a character of excessive nature, she ruled the period of empire, exists among the time of two Great Emperor conducting the task. 这个时候,布兰多忽然意识到自己对这个帝国的女王陛下了解太少,在另一段历史上,她只是一个过度性的人物,她统治帝国的时期,是作为两位大帝之间承前启后的时代而存在的。 Familiar The Silver Queen, above Constance to high throne, is an empire gentlest period of time, all sea Jing Ping, what only commemorable is third Holy War, what a pity this Holy War was doomed to make the footnote for the next larger-scale war, that is the experience of another legendary Great Emperor. 人们熟知的白银女王,是至高王座之上的康斯坦丝,是帝国最平和的一段时日,四海靖平,唯一值得纪念的是第三次圣战,可惜这次圣战注定为下一场更加规模庞大的战争作了注脚,那已经是另一位传奇大帝的经历。 As for this Her Majesty the Queen Princess time, is as for the history of her young girl years, is rarely known. 而至于这位女王陛下的公主时代,乃至于她少女时代的历史,却鲜为人知。 Brando is also same, he discovered that oneself understanding this Her Majesty the Queen Princess time is only restricted in few descriptions of Thurman unexpectedly. 布兰多也是一样,他发现自己对这位女王陛下公主时代的了解竟然仅限于图拉曼的寥寥几句描述。 Around her change why such big? 她前后的变化为何如此之大？ Brando recalled a that time conversation suddenly, could not bear subconsciously mutter: „...... Did she in that seal, besides the crystallization sickness, actually see what?” 布兰多忽然记起那时候的一段交谈,忍不住下意识地喃喃自语:“……那么她在那个封印之中,除了晶化病之外,究竟看到了什么？” Old Nederhoven raises head, looks suddenly astutely to Brando, then shakes the head. 老尼德文蓦然抬起头,精明地看向布兰多,然后摇了摇头。 „No one knows, but I had guessed.” “没人知道,但我有所猜测。” Two people just like hitting the riddle, others hear to be confused, but only Brando can understand, this issue returned to the zero point. 两个人犹如在打哑谜,旁人听得一头雾水,但只有布兰多才能明白,这个问题又回到了原点。 This is the issue that even Thurman talked ambiguously, but front old person told him: 这是一个连图拉曼都含糊其辞的问题,但面前这个老人却告诉他: I had guessed- 我有所猜测- He gawked, immediately is fixing the eyes on the former prime minister in this empire. 他愣了一下,立刻紧盯着这位帝国的前任宰相。 Old person silent moment, opens the mouth saying: „I heard a view, some people once saw Her Highness the Princess to bring back to a baby girl from there.” 老人沉默了片刻,才开口道:“我听说了一个说法,有人曾见过公主殿下从那里带回了一个女婴。” „What?” “什么？” „From crystal.” “从水晶中。” Brando one understood, realized that the issue the key is this baby girl. 布兰多一下明白了过来,意识到问题的关键就是这个女婴。 The senior prime minister stops the conversation, regards for a week with eye halo, Duke of Mehautofen and Nederhoven Jr. on the scene understand immediately, find the excuse to ask to be excused, only then Huo Meizi Baron does not make clear the condition slightly, but immediately by younger sister one's own entraining. 老宰相停下交谈,用目光环视一周,在场的梅霍托芬公爵与小尼德文立刻心领神会,找借口告退,只有霍梅兹男爵稍微搞不清楚状况,但随即就被自己的妹妹给拽走了。 Fina also somewhat worried just before leaving looked at Brando one. 法伊娜临走时还有些担忧地看了布兰多一眼。 Veronica also prepares to ask to be excused, but was remained by the senior prime minister. 维罗妮卡也准备告退,但却被老宰相留了下来。 „You stay behind, Army Commander, you are also a litigant,” he said: „In the past I once suspected that this view, suspected this people are fabricating a rumor intentionally, but after witnessing these years the Her Majesty the Queen actions, I have clearly to become aware.” “你留下,军团长,你也是当事人,”他说:“过去我一度怀疑这个说法,怀疑这是有人在故意造谣,但目睹了这几十年来女王陛下的所作所为之后,我才有所明悟。” Brando and Veronica have not interposed, they understand that the senior prime minister then must say, is the key point. 布兰多和维罗妮卡都没有插话,他们明白老宰相接下来要说的,才是重点。 Really, the senior prime minister replied slowly: 果然,老宰相缓缓答道: „...... I suspected that baby girl is a newborn type.” “……我怀疑,那个女婴是个初生种。” „What is the newborn type?” Veronica somewhat asked puzzled. “什么是初生种？”维罗妮卡有些不解地问道。 Brando is restraining by force the difficult situation in heart, recalls these literature that the past saw, explained to Commandress: „Has about the newborn view, but Buganian thinks that the biggest possibility is pure blood God races......” 布兰多强压着心中的惊涛骇浪,回忆起过去所看到的那些文献,向女军团长解释道:“关于初生种的说法有很多,但布加人认为最大的可能性是纯血神民……” „God races?” “神民？” „It is not God races, is pure blood God races, Miirnian is also the bloodlines thin God races descendant, Dragon of Darkness Odin is also God races, but true former generation pure blood God races, only then azure Knight.” “不是神民,是纯血神民,敏尔人也是血脉稀薄的神民后裔,黑暗之龙奥丁亦是神民,但真正的上代纯血神民,只有天青的骑士。” Senior prime minister in one side slowly nodded: „Mr Count understands is more detailed than me, therefore , azure Knight on Dark Blue Epic, is the newborn type.” 老宰相在一旁缓缓地点了点头:“伯爵先生了解得比我更详细,所以说,苍之史诗上的天青的骑士,也是初生种。” „Why in the final battlefield will have a newborn baby girl?” “为什么最后的战场上会有一个初生种的女婴？” „This I was unknown, perhaps is descendant after Odin and witch.” “这我就不得而知了,或许是奥丁与巫后的后代。” „This is impossible,” Brando shakes the head: „The bloodlines of God races are generations of thin, descendant after Odin and witch possibly is Miirnian.” He stopped, asked: „Does Sir Nederhoven, why you think?” “这不可能,”布兰多摇头:“神民的血脉是一代代稀薄的,奥丁与巫后的后代只有可能是敏尔人。”他停了一下,又问道:“尼德文大人,你为什么会这么认为？” The senior prime minister was silent, probably in hesitant, but is determined to open the mouth to say finally: „Few people know, Her Highness the Princess after Holy War finished, distributed has maintained one's moral integrity the pledge, naturally, this is secret, abiding by the commandments Vala.” 老宰相沉默了,像是在犹豫,但最后还是下定决心开口道:“很少人知道,公主殿下在圣战结束之后,曾经发下过守贞誓言,当然,这是秘密的,持戒者正是瓦拉。” „Afterward Her Majesty the Queen and Olsson Duke got married, seven years later Duke is going to the Maze area on the way of encountered the Demonic Cultist assassination dead, among this Her Majesty the Queen altogether birth got down seven imperial princes and three Princess, I think all these passed......, but I thought through joint afterward suddenly, after having the suspicion, has tried to prove to Vala quietly, Her Majesty the Queen has never broken her pledge.” “后来女王陛下与奥尔森公爵成婚,七年后公爵在前往梅兹地区的的途中遭到邪教徒暗杀身故,这之间女王陛下一共诞下了七个皇子和三个公主,我本来以为这一切都过去了……但后来我忽然想通了其中的关节,产生了怀疑之后,悄悄向瓦拉求证过,女王陛下从未打破过她的誓言。” „What!?” “什么！？” Brando and Veronica cannot bear exude the sound, they had not listened again compared with this stranger matter. 布兰多和维罗妮卡都忍不住发出声来,他们再未听过比这更离奇的事情了。 „Imperial princes and Princess?” “那皇子和公主们？” Senior prime minister nodded: „From that time, I started to suspect, on the one hand I found an excuse announce live in seclusion, no longer inquired about the empire business, on the one hand the investigation, finally found some traces secretly. I discovered that in the ten years Her Majesty the Queen has been supporting secretly some well-known Alchemist, the dark believer who she exterminates eastern Maze, detains Yarde, actually to obtain Godsblood on Tree Shepherds.” 老宰相点了点头:“从那时候起,我就开始怀疑了,一方面我借故宣布隐居,不再过问帝国内部的事务,一方面暗自调查,终于找到了一些蛛丝马迹。我发现这十年来女王陛下一直在暗中支持一些知名的炼金术士,她剿灭东梅兹的黑暗教徒,关押马亚德,其实都是为了得到牧树人手上的神之血。” „You mean......” “您是说……” „I suspected that Her Majesty the Queen is trying to reappear the newborn type, these princes and princesses are her masterpiece, naturally, she declared to the outside these children are she one's own, she and Olsson Duke marriage also became very good concealing, but the empire some people suspected in fact early how after all the body of Her Majesty the Queen saw does not seem like has the woman of fertility.” “我怀疑女王陛下在试图重现初生种,那些王子公主就是她的杰作,当然,她对外宣称这些孩子都是她亲生,她与奥尔森公爵的婚姻也成了很好的掩饰,但事实上帝国内部早有人怀疑,毕竟女王陛下的身子怎么看都不像是有生育能力的女人。” „Wait,” Brando is a little suddenly absolutely terrified, he cannot bear think that the could it be that Kirrlutzian next Great Emperor unexpectedly is the man-made person? However he responded immediately, the sovereign eldest son in empire were an exception, because that was the Constance eldest brother's son, in the past she in the hand captured the throne from elder brother one's own, then in her finally just throne also in eldest brother's bloodlines hand, this was also The Silver Queen at that time first of Mr.'s commitments to dragon and empire. “等等,”布兰多忽然有点毛骨悚然,他忍不住想到难道说克鲁兹人的下一任大帝竟然是人造人？不过他马上反应过来,帝国的皇长子是个例外,因为那是康斯坦丝长兄的儿子,当年她从自己的兄长手上夺得王位,那么她终将将王位还于长兄的血脉手中,这也是白银女王当时对巨龙与帝国先君的承诺之一。 „No.” He beckons with the hand, hints himself to want. “没什么。”他摆了摆手,示意自己想多了。 Two people looked at his one eyes strangely, has not closely examined actually. 两人奇怪地看了他一眼,倒是没有追问。 However Brando thinks of another issue, „, since Her Majesty the Queen tries to reappear the newborn type, what then her intention is? Where that newborn type that had from the final battlefield went to by her?” 不过布兰多又想到另外一个问题,“既然女王陛下试图重现初生种,那么她的意图是什么？被她从最后的战场上带回来的那个初生种又去了哪里？” He proposed that this issue, has not thought that the senior prime minister actually shakes the head: „Is unknown, first did not say that the strength of pure blood God races mortal can reappear can it be that I do not know that Her Majesty the Queen will be why besotted, but that newborn type, had not fallen to her hand in the past finally.” 他提出这个问题,没想到老宰相却摇了摇头:“不得而知,先不说纯血神民岂是凡人之力可以重现的,我也不知道为什么女王陛下会执迷不悟,不过当年那个初生种,最后并没有落到她手上。” „What?” “什么？” „I have investigated this matter exactly, existence of that child was covered artificially, only then the small number of people knows her existence. Moreover in three litigants, I found named Pamid. Anto Turle's husband, what a pity I goes late one step, to finding his time this mister veiled lord has summoned, first walks one step, I spent the large sum of money to buy his before death all notes from his widow hand, from few words, understood the truth.” “我恰好调查过这件事,那个孩子的存在被人为掩盖了下来,只有少数人知道她的存在。而且其中三个当事人中,我找到了一位名叫帕米德.安多特尔的先生,可惜我去晚一步,到找到他的时候这位先生已经蒙主召唤,先走一步,我花重金从他的遗孀手上买走了他生前的所有笔记,从其中的只字片语之中,了解了事情的真相。” „I am certain, Mr Count, was your grandfather helps then Her Highness the Princess cover this matter, but that baby girl was taken away by a woman named Gloria finally, this woman was not empire people- however I took the wrong road at first, I think that she and your grandfather related closely, once wasted lots of time in this above, but had achieved nothing. Afterward I changed the mentality, then investigated your grandfather's person, this discovered that this woman once was your father's fiancee, but in the royal family genealogical record of Aouine kingdom, happen to Princess called this name.” “我可以肯定,伯爵先生,是你的祖父帮当时的公主殿下掩盖下了这件事,而那个女婴最后被一个名叫格洛里娅的女人带走了,这个女人不是帝国人-而我起先走了错路,我以为她与你祖父关系密切,一度在这上面浪费了大量时间,但一无所获。后来我转变了思路,转而调查你祖父身边的人,这才发现这个女人原来曾经是你父亲的未婚妻,而在埃鲁因王国的王室系谱之中,也正好有一位公主叫这个名字。” ...... ……
