However times change, when the opposition of royal power shifts from the power of church to the traditional noble influence above, the deterioration of Nederhoven family then becomes the inevitable historical corollary, perhaps in this regard, old Nederhoven and Nederhoven Jr. have the obvious tacit understanding, mediocre that Nederhoven Jr. displays, is really only tiger father my son, or some not sticking one's neck out choice? Only feared that in the concerned person heart can understand. 然而时代变迁,当王权的对立从教权转移到传统的贵族势力之上时,尼德文家族的衰败便成为了不可避免的历史必然,在这一点上,老尼德文与小尼德文恐怕亦有心照不宣的默契,小尼德文所表现出的平庸,真的只是虎父犬子,亦或是某种明哲保身的选择？只怕只有当事人心中才能够明白。 But among this year of so-called gold/metal shining reforms, «He Luo Stoke Provisional constitution», and promulgations of various following French, actually are just the external embodiments of noble struggle. Therefore from the beginning then walked above a wrong path, Brando conceivable Delphine will encounter anything. 而这之间所谓金耀之年改革,《赫洛斯托约法》,以及后续各项法文的颁布,其实只不过是贵族斗争的外在表现而已。因此从一开始便走在了一条错误的道路之上,布兰多可以想象德尔菲恩会遭遇一些什么。 „Therefore ,” he silent a moment later, opened the mouth to ask: „After you realized oneself are unable to achieve all these, then chose married this road? This indeed is means that but Miss Delphine, you have thought another ——” “所以说,”他沉默了片刻之后,才开口问道:“当你意识到自己无法做到这一切之后,便选择了联姻这条路？这的确是一个办法,但德尔菲恩小姐,你有没有想过另一点——” Marrying is in the noble politics is most traditional is also the most effective method, but the Elman family that Delphine selects indeed is a good choice, but the nova who Elman takes the empire political arena, itself indeed also has the talent. 联姻是贵族政治中最传统也是最有效的手段,而德尔菲恩选中的艾尔曼的家族的确是一个不错的选择,而艾尔曼作为帝国政坛的新星,本身的确也极具才干。 However as a female side, after Delphine marries into the Elman family, function of she and Elman in the family business whose leadership are difficult to say very much. Not to mention, perhaps she will therefore also lose regarding the Nederhoven family's influence, or at least is also part. 然而作为女性的一方,德尔菲恩嫁入艾尔曼的家族之后,她与艾尔曼在家族事务之中谁起主导的作用却还难说得很。更不用说,说不定她还会因此而丧失对于尼德文家族的影响力,或者至少也是一部分。 Delphine heard that the word smiles mournfully: „Sometimes Mr. Brando, I will thinks, perhaps the person is more naive, not necessarily is not a misdemeanor. At least she does not seem that complex, complex to losing, even forgot the one's own original intention......” 德尔菲恩闻言凄然一笑:“布兰多先生,有时候我会想,或许人天真一些,未必不是一件坏事。至少她不会显得那么复杂,复杂到迷失了自我,甚至遗忘了自己的本意……” „However all that I pursue, but establishes above the castle in the air. In the end, all completely comes to naught. But I actually deceive oneself and others, is not willing to wake up from this fond illusion. I immerse in the power with the lie that in * weaves, I told myself to achieve. But I was clear that is just the self- anaesthesia, I am unable to achieve that all, they are away from me to be unattainable, I am only a through and through loser, Mr. Brando, I actually do not hate to give up a wee bit powers in hand......” “而我所追求的一切,不过是建立在空中楼阁之上。到头来,都皆尽化为泡影。而我却自欺欺人,不愿意从这个迷梦之中醒来。我沉醉于权力与*所编织的谎言之中,我告诉自己可以做到。但我清楚那只不过是自我麻醉而已,我无法做到那一切,它们距离我遥不可及,我只是一个彻头彻尾失败者,布兰多先生,我却舍不得放弃手中的一丁点权力……” „I am a woman who degenerates with the evil, I have forgotten the one's own original intention, forgot the one's own pledge. Like forgetting the one's own companion, I inertia seek personal gain and plan in the noble circle, any lofty ideal, they have left me to go, that is only a lie.” “我是一个堕落与罪恶的女人,我早就遗忘了自己的本意,遗忘了自己的誓言。就像遗忘了自己的同伴一样,我惯性地在贵族的圈子之中钻营与谋划,什么崇高的理想,它们早就离我而去了,那不过只是一个谎言而已。” „, I so hate you, hated you to destroy my plan, killed my lover, I was hysteric, but rather was a lie pierced person incredible funny performance. In your eyes, I seem certainly like a lunatic, a clown. Because I am an insane woman, not the poisonous woman who is worth anybody sympathizing with.” “啊,我是如此的憎恨你,憎恨你毁灭了我的计划,杀死了我的恋人,我歇斯底里,但不如说是一个谎言被戳穿的人荒诞滑稽的表演而已。在您的眼里,我一定像是个疯子,一个小丑。因为我就是一个疯女人,一个不值得任何人同情的毒妇。” She lowers the head, the clear teardrops seed grain fell, soaked the lower hem corner. 她低下头,晶莹的泪珠子粒粒落下,浸湿了衣角。 „Mr. Brando, the woman of this viper feelings said too many too many rumors, may in the Lady Mother front, all dirty unable to hide with the dirt, she is only a criminal, the non- extravagant demands you forgive. But at least before departure, wants to say all these......” “布兰多先生,这个蛇蝎心肠的女人说了太多太多谎言,可在母亲大人的面前,一切龌龊与污垢都无法躲藏,她只是一个罪人,并不奢求你原谅。但至少在离开之前,想把这一切说出来……” „Leaves?” Brando holds her wrist: „Have you also seen Mother Marsha?” “离开？”布兰多抓住她的手腕:“你也见过玛莎大人了？” prime minister's daughter struggled silently. Her pale appearance, probably flowers of Wither in wind. But Brando had actually understood all. 宰相千金默然地挣扎了一下。她苍白的容貌,好像在风中凋零的花朵。但布兰多却已然明白了一切。 „Lady Mother will forgive anybody,” Brando said in a soft voice: „Miss Delphine, because we are her child, in a life of person, everyone will misread some people unavoidably, makes the mistake something, but the person non- saints and sages, who can not have?” “母亲大人会原谅任何人,”布兰多轻声说道:“德尔菲恩小姐,因为我们都是她的孩子,在一个人的一生当中,每个人都难免会看错一些人,做错一些事,但人非圣贤,孰能无过？” „, when you realize the one's own mistake, perhaps first thinks cannot goes to passive evasion, but goes facing it. That looks like together the bloody scabs, when also always has closes, you should not wait till it suppuration to deteriorate later —— to make up for it, faced directly the past all.” “然而当你意识到自己的错误时,或许首先想到的不应当是去消极逃避,而是去面对它。那就像是一道血淋淋的伤疤,但也总有弥合之时,你不应等到它化脓恶化之后——去弥补它,直面自己过去的一切。” „Faces directly?” Delphine looks deathly pale, shakes the head weak: „Easier said than done, everyone should pay the price for all that oneself make, now your majesty had died in her fond illusion, the empire also disintegrates, all these are the anger of revenge, but I, place on trial now.” “直面？”德尔菲恩脸色惨白,无力地摇了摇头:“谈何容易,每个人都应该为自己所作的一切付出代价,如今陛下已经长眠在她的迷梦之中,帝国也分崩离析,这一切都是复仇的怒火,而我,如今也审判将至了。” „Who tries you, Miss Delphine?” Brando asked ill-humoredly: „Your damaged who? The could it be that murderer got up gallows, will that pitiful victim wake up from tomb? Yes, the empire disintegrates now, the murderer also obtained the proper penalty, but therefore?” “谁来审判你,德尔菲恩小姐？”布兰多没好气地问道:“你伤害了谁？难道杀人凶手上了绞刑架,那可怜的受害人就会从墓穴之中醒来么？是的,帝国如今分崩离析,杀人凶手也得到了应有的惩罚,但所以呢？” „Millions has the person of same bitter experience with your companions, now is destitute and homeless, by hunger and pain suffered —— to work as the empire still, they were then in rags, the life did not have the whereabouts, even evilly and hoodwinked dark. But today? Their days became well, no, they were still that group of people of most misery.” “千千万万与你的同伴们有相同遭遇的人,如今正流离失所,饱受饥饿与痛苦的折磨——当帝国仍在时,他们便衣不蔽体,生活无所着落,甚至受邪恶与黑暗所蒙蔽。但今天呢？他们的日子变得更好了么,不,他们仍旧是最为苦难的那一批人。” „Miss Delphine, Dragon of Twilight has washed off all former days dust above the empire now, you can definitely in helping them found a brand-new empire above the ruins. This new Kirrlutz will follow first ancient king glory, it will realize that past honor ——” “德尔菲恩小姐,如今黄昏之龙已经在帝国之上洗去了一切旧日的尘埃,你完全可以在帮助他们在废墟之上建立起一个崭新的帝国。这个新的克鲁兹将遵循先古诸王的荣耀,它将实现那往日的荣光——” „However this,” Brando exclaimed to her: „Is your ideal, now, do you want to betray it again?” “而这,”布兰多冲她吼道:“才是你的理想,如今,你要再一次背叛它吗？” prime minister's daughter was shocked completely. 宰相千金完全愣住了。 She seems to have never seen Brando such side. 她似乎从未见过布兰多这样的一面。 „How............ possibly to achieve such matter?” “……怎……么可能做到那样的事情？” „Naturally can achieve,” Brando said loudly: „If our Dragon of Twilight can defeat, rebuilds a world above the spent clay that it leaves behind, what can that be?” “当然能做到,”布兰多大声说道:“若是我们连黄昏之龙都可以战胜,那么在它留下的废土之上重建一个世界,那又算得上什么？” „But......, if can't defeat?” “可是……如果不能战胜呢？” Brando smiles lightly. 布兰多淡淡笑了笑。 „That only one dies, but at least we have a common goal, can die with brave people in the same place.” “那唯有一死而已,但至少我们志同道合,能与勇敢的人们长眠在一起。” prime minister's daughter was struck by lightning probably, in the eye is flashing the indescribable ray. 宰相千金好像被雷击中,眼中闪动着难以言喻的光芒。 Crossed for a long time for a long time, she sobers, in the purple eye the blurred ray dissipated gradually , she gazed at Brando one silently. 过了好久好久,她才重新清醒过来,紫色的眼睛中迷离的光芒渐渐消散了,默默地,她重新注视了布兰多一眼。 „This is comforting me, Lord Thane?” “这算是在安慰我么,领主大人？” „Also is.” Brando sighed, somewhat had mixed feelings. “也算是吧。”布兰多叹了口气,心情有些复杂。 Delphine piled the sending silk before volume gently, lowers the head, replied in a soft voice: „Thanks, Lord Thane. Although sounds is very stupid.” 德尔菲恩轻轻摞了摞了额前的发丝,低下头,轻声答道:“谢谢,领主大人。虽然听起来真的很笨。” „What?” Brando was shocked. “什么？”布兰多愣住了。 „You should hug me, or kisses my, rather than such light comfort. You do not understand the heart of woman completely, Lord Thane.” “你应该抱抱我,或者吻我一下,而不是这样轻飘飘的安慰。您完全不懂得女人的心,领主大人。” „Ha?” Brando thought that this is what ghost. However he at least understands, this prime minister's daughter restored finally. “哈？”布兰多心想这是什么鬼。不过他至少明白,这位宰相千金总算是恢复了过来。 „Where then here is, Miss Feng Huo they?” Delphine dries the tear stains after the back of the hand asked. “那么这里是什么地方,凰火小姐他们呢？”德尔菲恩用手背擦干泪痕之后问道。 Brando then set out to come to see four next. 布兰多这才直起身来看了四下一眼。 This is in an elegant weng weng forest, after high noon the sunlight across the tree shade, gold fragments light spots sprinkles above the dry spoiled tree trunk of lodging, can see clearly in the distant place jungle vaguely vine a profound scene that comes up in great numbers and from all sides, wisteria to hang circles. 这是在一片郁郁蓊蓊的森林之中,正午之后的阳光穿过树荫,碎金般的光斑洒落在倒伏的枯腐的树干之上,依稀可以看清远处密林之中蔓枝横生、藤萝垂绕的幽深景象。 Perhaps this naturally cannot be the scene that the stagnation has, Mother Marsha has transmitted outside them, but does not know whether also in green sea. 这自然不会是停滞之界中存在的景象,玛莎大人或许已经将他们传送到了外面,但不知道是否还在绿海之中。 „Is here islands?” “这里是一座岛屿？” Brando shakes the head. He has not at least heard nearby has the roaring to transmit, but here is quite perhaps far from the coast is uncertain. 布兰多摇了摇头。至少他还没听到附近有涛声传来,但或许这里距离海岸比较远也不一定。 „Has not met Feng Huo, but bumped into Luti and willow tree five gentlemen before then, we have separated to each direction sought, seeming like everyone should not be far.” “还没有遇上凰火,不过在此之前碰上了鲁特和柳五先生,我们已经分开向各个方向寻找了,看起来大家都应该不会太远。” „How much time then hasn't Lord Thane spent to find me?” “这么说来领主大人没花多少时间就找到了我？” Brando nodded. 布兰多点了点头。 „Also needs to rest?” He looked at the condition appeared not very good Delphine, asked. But prime minister's daughter shakes the head: „No need, perhaps but exhausted Lord Thane holds me to get up.” “还需要休息一下么？”他又看了状态显得不是很好的德尔菲恩一眼,问道。但宰相千金只是摇了摇头:“不必,不过恐怕得劳烦领主大人扶我起来。” ...... …… Brando's had a premonition that is very accurate. 布兰多的预感很准。 He thinks, if Marsha transmits them hence, then others think that should be separated by cannot be too far, after all the latter is not the white that far-fetched fellow. 他想若是玛莎将他们传送至此,那么其他人想必应该相隔不会太远,毕竟后者不是白那种不靠谱的家伙。 Really, how long he supports by the arm Delphine not to walk. Then met Ling and lotus two sisters in a stretch of glade, two sisters did not have wake up to come, two people by are lying down above together the snow white rock together. After Brando inspected one briefly next . Discovers on them no bruising and abrasion, obviously all these that myriad things the writing skill of Lady Mother. 果然,他搀扶着德尔菲恩才没走多久。便在一片林间空地之中遇上了玲和莲两姐妹,两姐妹还没有苏醒过来,两人靠在一起躺在一块雪白的岩石之上。布兰多简略地检查了一下之后。发现她们身上都没有什么瘀伤与擦伤,显然这一切正是那位万物的母亲大人的手笔。 After that is quick, sought for small Fairy Luti of others to bring back to Feng Huo and Fang Qi separately. 此后很快,原先分头去寻找其他人的小妖精鲁特又带回了凰火与房奇。 This sovereign female your highness sees Brando, in the surface bright revealed has the look that feels relieved, she good a ritual said to Brando respectfully: „Teacher, Feng Huo came back.” 这位皇女殿下一看到布兰多,面上明显露出放下心来的神色,她恭恭敬敬地向布兰多行了一礼道:“老师,凰火回来了。” Is listening to this refined gentle greetings, the Brando also heart next one warm, he carefully looked at one's own student one, somewhat is surprised: 听着这温雅平和的问候声,布兰多也心下一暖,他仔细看了自己的学生一眼,不由有些惊讶: „Feng Huo. Your inheritance?” “凰火。你们的传承？” Feng Huo look as usual nodded: „Teacher, Feng Huo obtains the complete inheritance of desert wind swordsmanship. Mother Marsha told me, nine swords all had Holy Sword to live green. An inheritance of red lotus lineage/vein was hidden in the natural precious pearl, this is the riddle of emerald.” 凰火神色如常地点了点头:“老师,凰火已经得到了漠风剑法的全部传承。玛莎大人告诉我,九剑皆有圣剑苍翠所生。红莲一脉的传承被隐藏于自然宝珠之中,这便是翡翠之谜。” „The riddle of emerald in fact with seven keys is a body, in other words, only then can open the person of that door, can solve this truth truly,” small Fairy Lu Tewen said somewhat said excitedly: „When therefore , people while seeking to solve the riddle of emerald, this truth is actually also choosing it the pleasing that person, Mr. Brando, you worthily are that person who Miss Thatta settles on.” “翡翠之谜事实上与七把钥匙乃是一体的,也就是说,只有能打开那扇门的人,才能够真正解开这个谜底,”小妖精鲁特闻言有些兴奋地说道:“所以说,当人们在寻求解开翡翠之谜的同时,这个谜底其实也在挑选它所中意的那个人,布兰多先生,你不愧是塔塔小姐所看中的那个人。” „Yes,” some Feng Huo also respect look at Teacher one's own, full does obeisance the evil ways: „Feng Huo can have today, holds the graciousness of teacher, if there is one day, Feng Huo dares to forget none who does not.” “是的,”凰火亦有些崇敬地看着自己的老师,盈盈拜下道:“凰火能有今日,亦是托老师之恩,若有一日,凰火莫不敢忘。” Brando rushes to support her, has not actually thought that he just now moves, side Fang Qi had knelt to him respectfully, overhead to him good a big ritual. 布兰多赶忙扶住她,却没想他才刚一动,旁边房奇已经恭恭敬敬地向他跪了下去,当头对他行了一个大礼。 Brando has a scare immediately, actually listens to the latter opens the mouth saying: „Mr. Brando, the graciousness of instructing, such as Monarch like the father, Fang Qi usually many offends, longs to excuse me.” 布兰多顿时吓了一大跳,却听后者开口道:“布兰多先生,授业之恩,如君如父,房奇平日多有得罪,万望见谅。” „Fang Qi, are you?” “房奇,你这是？” „Teacher, Fang Qi because of you, but the iron core flows Swordsmanship to the high inheritance, he is away from the Celestial now to the boundary already one separation,” Feng Huo opens the mouth saying: „According to the tradition of Nine Phoenixes, to him, your not less than instructing kind teacher, you, when can receive him to do obeisance.” “老师,房奇因你而得铁心流剑术的至高传承,如今他距离天人至境已不过一线之隔,”凰火开口道:“按照九凤之传统,对于他来说,您不啻授业恩师,你当受得起他一拜。” Brando hears word does not know whether to laugh or cry. 布兰多闻言不由哭笑不得。 He looked at this Nine Phoenixes talent, who thinks in this ordinary day the wild and intractable fellow, has such side unexpectedly. 他看了看这位九凤天才,谁想这平日里桀骜不驯的家伙,竟也有这样的一面。 ......( To be continued.) ……(未完待续。)
