„Did Ms.Nemesisfind?” When Letoopens the eye, the soundsomewhataskedwearily. CombatcontinuouslymadethisNovember Warveteranalsofeelsomewhatcannot support, after allhehas gotten old, no longerpastheroics.
“尼玫西丝女士找到了吗?”雷托重新睁开眼睛时,声音有些疲倦地问道。连续不断的作战令这位十一月战争的老兵也感到有些撑不住,毕竟他早已上了年纪,不复当年的英勇。
The person in roomis silentshaking the head, most of themhave experiencedall the year roundthatcampaign, asluck who inthatwarlivesby luck, almosteveryoneisexperiencedwarrior.
屋子里的人沉默着摇了摇头,他们中的大多数都经历过长年的那场战役,作为那场大战之中侥幸活下来的幸运者,几乎每一个人都是身经百战的战士。„WeseeMs.Nemesisfor the last timenorth the Minteyefort, after the rebel armycapturedthere, wizardpreventedourway, later the rebel armyblocked the relation of usandnorth gatedirection.”
“我们最后一次看到尼玫西丝女士是在敏泰堡北边,叛军攻陷了那里之后,一个巫师阻挡了我们去路,随后叛军阻断了我们与北门方向的联系。”„Does north gatedirection have the fightto happen?”
“北门方向还有战斗发生吗?”„Rebel armyhad surroundedthereall round.”
“叛军已经将那里团团包围了起来。”„Triedto attack?”
“试着进攻过了吗?”„Has tried, the military that but the rebel armyputs in thereis astonishing, ourmanpowerare far from enough, eldest child.”
“试过了,但叛军在那里投入的兵力惊人,我们的人手远远不够,老大。”„Rebel armyis so tighteningthisplace, thiswas explaining that Ms.Nemesisis possibly also living, wemustthink the meansto rescueher.”Letoknocks the desktop that the ashthrew, set the melody, on the scene is almost hisold fellow, hespeaksdoes not usepolitely.
“叛军如此着紧这个地方,这正说明尼玫西丝女士可能还活着,我们必须想办法把她救出来。”雷托敲了敲灰扑扑的桌面,定下了调子,在场几乎都是他的老伙计,他说起话来也不用客气。„But......” the people in roomlook the embarrassment, if the conditionpermits, theywill certainly spare nothingto rescuethatExcellency Commander. Howevernowdefends the troops of Minteyemainfortto be insufficient, wherealsoreassignsto obtain the manpowerto supportotherplaces.
“可是……”屋内的众人面露难色,如果条件允许,他们当然会不惜一切代价救出那位指挥官阁下。然而现在就连防守敏泰主堡的兵力都不够,哪里还抽调得出人手去支援其他地方。„ThatMissKnightis the Her Highness the Princessperson, but the Minteyefortis the Lord Thane'sindustry, weare the Lord Thane'sretainers, reallywants, forshedoes give upthisfort?”
“那位骑士小姐是公主殿下的人啊,可敏泰堡才是领主大人的产业,我们是领主大人的家臣,真要为了她放弃这座要塞吗?”In the cornerhas a soundto askweakly.
角落里有个声音弱弱地问道。Letolooked atthatdirectionone, shakes the head: „My friend,”hesaid: „Youreallythink that ourLord Thaneregard as importantTrentheimthisplace, youcould not have looked. The Lord Thanechesthas the lofty aspiration, do not say that TrentheimandFir Tree Shire, perhapsevenAouinedoes not placeinhiseye.”雷托看了那个方向一眼,摇了摇头:“伙计们,”他说道:“你们真以为我们的领主大人看重托尼格尔这个地方吗,你们还看不出来吗。领主大人胸有大志,不要说托尼格尔与冷杉领,恐怕就算是埃鲁因也并不放在他眼中。”„Youthink. ProbablyLord Thanesuchperson, ifheagreed with the invitation of thatKirrlutzCommandresspreviously. Joins the empire, positiontrivialCount of Tonigelmaycomparecan it be that? Heinall that Aouinemakes, heusfrom the Bruglasbelt/bringtohere, overthrewthatdamnBaron Grudinandhisrunning dogs'rule, actuallyforwhat?”
“你们想一想。像是领主大人这样的人,如果他早先同意那个克鲁兹女军团长的邀请。加入帝国,身份地位岂是区区托尼格尔伯爵可比的?他在埃鲁因所做的一切,他将我们从布拉格斯带到这里,推翻了那个该死的格鲁丁男爵与他的走狗们的统治,究竟是为了什么?”Letovisionone by onelookedfromone's ownold fellow, „youhad not discovered that Thanenevermakesustake an oathto give loyalty to him, becausehewantsdoes not becomeanotherArchduke of Anlieke. Ihad once heardhimandHer Highness the Princess, MissAmandinadiscussionin secret. Ithink that severalSirswant, wein the warlong for—— that all the year roundobtainstrulycomplete, is stoodAouine that aboveVaunde others organize.”雷托的目光一一从自己的老伙计们身上看了过去,“你们没有发现么,领主从未让我们向他宣誓效忠,因为他想要的并不是成为另一个安列克大公。我曾私下里听到过他与公主殿下、安蒂缇娜小姐的谈论。我想几位大人们想要的,正是我们在长年战争之中所渴望得到的——一个真正完整的、不受他人所摆布的、站立于沃恩德之上的埃鲁因。”„My friend,”heopens the mouthto sayin a soft voice: „Wewere borninBruglas, butTrentheimindeedis our secondhometown, butcomparesthis, we have anothercommonstatus. Don't forget, weareAouine'ssoldier, atthis time, wemustabandonthesepersonal gains, weare the Lord Countsubordinates. Imuststandto prove the frankness of Sir.”
“伙计们,”他轻声开口道:“我们出生于布拉格斯,但托尼格尔的确是我们的第二故乡,只不过相比起这个,我们还有另一个共同的身份。别忘了,我们是埃鲁因的军人,在这个时候,我们更加应当抛弃那些私利,我们是伯爵大人的属下。我么更应当站出来证明大人的光明磊落。”Letoreferred toperforationoutsidebattlefield, replied: „Ifoureveryonetransmits the Lord Countfaith, whensuchfaithinvolvesentireAouine. When madeeveryone in thiskingdomdeepbybeing so, ourideals, Lord CountandHer Highness the Princessideal, realized.”雷托指了指射孔外面的战场,答道:“如果我们每一个人都将伯爵大人的信念传达出去,当这样的信念延及整个埃鲁因。令这个王国中的每一个人都深以为然时,我们的理想,伯爵大人与公主殿下的理想,也就实现了。”Inroom a silence.
屋内一片沉默。„Can weachievesuchmatter?”
“我们能做到那样的事情吗?”„Yes, thiswas too troublesome, soundsmakesonehave, the eldest childyoudetermined that thisis the matter that ourthesebiguneducated peoplecanaccomplish, is that the matter that the civil officialandmaster noblesneedto worry about?”
“是啊,这太麻烦了,听起来就令人感到头痛,老大你确定这是我们这些大老粗能办到的事情吗,那是文官与贵族老爷们才需要操心的事情吧?”„The eldest child, whenyoubecomesuchgenteel. Haha.”
“不过老大,你什么时候变得这么文绉绉的了。哈哈。”
The laughteras ifwill infectgeneral, in the room the peoplealsosmiledquicklylowly. Letoalsoshake the headwith a smile. Ridicules saying: „Shuts up your group of damnidiots, the good and evilIin the past was also the Noble Knightfamily background. ProbablyMano, the past yearswasmyaide. With your vulgarfellows, myone's ownold professionalllost. Ok, fewidle talk, yousaidright, weare the Thane'sretainers, but since is the Lord Thane'sretainer, wemustimplementLord Thane'sWill, thereforeMs.Nemesis, you do not rescueis also saved.”
笑声仿佛会传染一般,屋内众人很快也都低笑了起来。雷托自己也笑着摇了摇头。笑骂道:“闭嘴你们这群该死的蠢货,好歹我当年也是贵族骑士出身。像是马诺,当年还是我的侍从。跟着你们这些粗俗的家伙,我连自己的老本行都全丢了。好了,少废话,你们说得对,我们是领主的家臣,但既然是领主大人的家臣,我们就得贯彻领主大人的意志,所以尼玫西丝女士,你们不救也得救。”Althoughin the surface the peopleare cracking a joke, butLetodecidesto make the decision, thenno onedaresto opposeagain. Peoplesystematicwithdraws from the room, startsto call the subordinate, as ifreturned the dozensyears ago years, nothing butis the fight, regarding the veteran, looks likeeats meal the drinking watersamenature.
虽然面上众人都开着玩笑,但雷托拍了板作了决定,便再没有人敢反对。人们井然有序地退出房间,开始召集部下,仿佛回到了几十年之前的岁月,无非是战斗而已,对于老兵来说,就像是吃饭喝水一样自然。

……„Did youawake?”
“你醒了?”wake up of Nemesisfrom the murkyconditioncomestime, whatseenis a familiarface.尼玫西丝从昏昏沉沉的状态中苏醒过来的时候,看到的是一张熟悉的脸。Thatis a beautifulyoung girl, shehas a long and narrowbrighteye, narrows the eyesslightly, the pupilis pitch-dark, just like a black ink. The skin of young girlisthat not humanlikesnow white, is exquisitejust like the jade, shehas a waterfalldalbergia nigralong hair, sends the silkto reflect the ray, just like the stars in nighttime sky. But the Nemesiscompleteattentiononthatdarkgemfor the opposite partyforeheadattracts——thatislong and narrow, blackcrystal of rhombus.
那是一个美丽的少女,她有一双狭长明亮的眼睛,微微眯起,瞳孔黑漆漆的,犹如点墨。少女的皮肤是那种不似人类的雪白,细腻得犹如玉石,她有一头瀑布般的黑檀长发,发丝反射着光芒,犹如夜空中的星辰。但尼玫西丝的全部注意力都为对方额头上那枚黑沉沉的宝石所吸引——那是一枚狭长的,菱形的黑水晶。Young girlsomewhatangryfaceonered, recalledononeselfforeheadthisgemmustcome the shame when following the Female Knightvision, coldlysnort/hum.
少女有些恼怒的脸一红,顺着女骑士的目光回忆起了自己额头上这枚宝石得来时的羞辱,冷冷地哼了一声。„Kouha......?”
“寇华……?”Nemesishad a scareby the hoarsevoice, sheremembersatthesethings of Lucita, hesitant the momentopened the mouthto sayslightlyagain: „Wherethisis, did Minteyefall to the enemy? Am Inowyourcaptive? After youleaveLucita, turns totheseBuganian, said that theyreallydid collaboratewithDragon of Twilight?”尼玫西丝被自己沙哑的声音吓了一跳,她想起在鲁施塔发生的那些事情,微微犹豫了片刻才再开口道:“这是什么地方,敏泰失陷了么?我现在是你的俘虏?你离开鲁施塔之后,也投靠那些布加人,还是说他们果然与黄昏之龙同流合污了?”„Ihave not degeneratedtowith these Sasaarlandpersonsamepositions,”blackKouhasomewhatrepliedangrily: „Yourthiswoman is really loathful, just likethatfellow, the could it be thatmortallinkedheart of the sense of proprietynot to have, wasIrescued your life.”
“我还没有堕落到和那些萨萨尔德人一样的境地,”黑寇华有些恼怒地答道:“你这个女人真是令人讨厌,和那家伙一样,难道凡人连一点礼义廉耻之心也没有了么,是我救了你一命。”„Did youcome back......?”Nemesisgawkedstaring: „Thanks......”
“你又回来了……?”尼玫西丝愣了愣:“谢谢……”Outsidehears the wailingsoundair-splitting, where the marbles of trebuchethitnot far away, housesways, the dustfell.
外面传来破空的尖啸声,投石机的石弹击中了不远处的什么地方,房屋一阵摇晃,灰尘扑簌簌落了下来。Nemesisfelt the momentsilently, asked: „Thenhere was still Minteye, mystuporhow long, Mr.Letotheyare still resisting, MissKouha, can youleadmeto go to the city hall?”尼玫西丝默默地感受了片刻,才问道:“这么说来这里仍旧是敏泰了,我昏迷了多久,雷托先生他们还在抵抗么,寇华小姐,你能不能带我前往市政厅?”„Iurgedyouto should better notto holdthisdelusion, moreoverIdid not have the dutyto work for you,”blackKouhasaidill-humoredly: „Yousave a lifepurelyarebecause the luckis good, if notthisfellow, even ifIrushpromptly, youstilldiedat that time.”
“我劝你最好不要抱这个妄想,而且我也没有义务为你效劳,”黑寇华没好气地说道:“你捡回一条命纯粹是因为运气好,如果不是这个家伙,就算是我及时赶到,你当时也死定了。”NemesisthennoticesKouhabehindalsoyoungster, whenshesaw when opposite partycannot bearstares, because ofthatperson of Oberbecksecond son, thatleaves the Minteyefortto go to the explorationinformationvery early in the morningyoungKnight.尼玫西丝这才注意到寇华身后还有一个年轻人,当她看到对方时忍不住一愣,因为那人正是欧弗韦尔的次子,那个一早就离开敏泰堡去探查情报的年轻骑士。Thatyoungsternotices the Nemesislook, stoodhastily, somewhaturgentlysaid: „MissNemesis, I know that yoususpectnowvery muchI have my father, butIpromisedyou,my fatherheis absolutely impossibleto betrayHer Highness the Princess, inthishas certainly the secret facts.”
那个年轻人注意到尼玫西丝的神色,连忙站了起来,有些急切地说道:“尼玫西丝小姐,我知道你现在很怀疑我还有我父亲,但我向你保证,我父亲他绝对不可能背叛公主殿下,这里面一定是另有隐情。”Hehesitant, clenches teethto reply: „Icanmake the guaranteebymylife!”
他犹豫了一下,咬咬牙答道:“我可以以我的生命作担保!”Nemesisrubs the forehead that felt pain, finallyrecalled before stupor, all, shealmostthinksat that timeoneselfdiedin the hand of thatmonster. Butlooksafterherstupor, hada lot.尼玫西丝揉了揉发痛的额头,终于回想起了昏迷之前发生的一切,当时她差点以为自己就死在了那头怪物的手上。但看起来在她昏迷之后,又发生了很多事情。„Shouldn't I...... die?”
“我……不是应该死了吗?”Nemesissubconsciouslytraces the chest front the wound, thatsword cutstill, almostpasses throughherchest and belly, thatsword, mustpierceherheartis.尼玫西丝下意识地摸了摸胸前的伤口,那道剑伤犹在,几乎贯穿她的胸腹,那一剑,应当刺穿了她的心脏才是。„Youindeedshoulddieare right, thispassed through the woundto pass throughyourheart, regardinganymortal, thiswas the fatalinjuries.”
“你的确是应该已经死亡才对,这道贯穿伤贯穿了你的心脏,对于任何一个凡人来说,这都是再致命不过的伤势。”Dark Kouhastops.黑暗寇华停了停。„What is strange, youwere still living. Whydo not askme, perhapsbecause ofI don't know either, wasyourMother Marsharescued your life.”
“但奇怪的是,你仍旧活着。不要问我为什么,因为我也不知道,或许是你们的玛莎大人救了你一命。”Nemesissilentmoment, inherhearthas the feeling that onetypecannot getfaintly, butactuallysays.尼玫西丝沉默了片刻,她心中隐隐有一种抓不住的感觉,但却说不出口。„Moreover, wasthisfellowrescuedfromthesemonsterhandsyouat risk of life,”Dark Kouhacontinuedto reply: „OtherwiseImaynot havethisability, thesemonstersare the Dragon of Twilightlackeys, wemanagethemto be calledEnergos, besides the War Goddessuniquemarkweapon, no onecankillthemtruly.”
“另外,是这个家伙拼死把你从那些怪物手中救了出来,”黑暗寇华继续答道:“要不然我可没这个能耐,那些怪物都是黄昏之龙的爪牙,我们管它们叫做能族,除了战争女神特有的印记兵器之外,没有人可以真正杀死它们。”„Snort, then the Energospresentworld, reallydoes not even know why again mother will favoryou, onlysmallhumankingdom, no matter the Sasaarlandpersonor the Dragon of Twilightlackey, youcould not cope.”
“哼,这下连能族都重新现世了,真不知道母亲为何会看好你们,区区一个小小的人类王国而已,不管是萨萨尔德人还是黄昏之龙的爪牙,你们都对付不了。”Nemesishearswordsighed, saidtothatyoungster: „Icanbelieveyou, butyouare unable to do the guaranteeforyour father, in any event, hasallMr.Oberbeckhereto have the unshirkableresponsibility.”尼玫西丝闻言叹了口气,对那个年轻人说道:“我可以相信你,但你也无法为你的父亲作担保,无论如何,发生在这里的一切欧弗韦尔先生都负有不可推卸的责任。”„No,”youngstershakes the head: „MissNemesis, my fatherhepossiblyhad an accident.”
“不,”年轻人摇了摇头:“尼玫西丝小姐,我父亲他可能出事了。”„What?”
“什么?”„Since Her Highness the PrincessandPrince HalutzleaveTrentheim, my fatherevery weekwill receive a lettertome, on the one handtoletmeunderstandsRadnor and Lantoliansituation, on the other handalsotokeep in touch.

“自从公主殿下与哈鲁泽王子离开托尼格尔之后,我父亲每周都会给我来信,一方面是为了让我了解让德内尔和兰托尼兰的局势,另一方面也是为了保持联系。不过我已经有一周多没有收到父亲的来信,开始我没觉得有什么,可是没想到会出现这样的事情……”youngsteris somewhat annoying, somewhatworried that replied: „Blamesme, MissNemesis, ifIam earliervigilantly, perhapswill not havesuchmatter, my fatherhe......”年轻人有些懊恼,又有些担忧地答道:“都怪我,尼玫西丝小姐,如果我早一些警觉,说不定就不会发生这样的事情,我父亲他……”
