Colin'sa few words, makingQuincylook at dumblyat the scene.
柯林的一句话,让昆西呆立当场。Goodlong time, herecovers, does not dareto believeasks: „, ViscountSir, you, youmeans......”
好半晌,他才回过神来,不敢置信地问道:“子,子爵大人,您,您是说……”„Right, Igiveyouthisopportunity, makingyoureturn to the position of Ice Rock Citytax collector.”
“没错,我给你这个机会,让你回到冰岩城税务官的位置上来。”„Toothankedyou! Yourbenevolence and wisdomare generally dazzlinglikeSun, likeseasame......”
“太感谢您了!您的仁慈和智慧如同太阳一般耀眼,如同大海一样……”„Youfirstleaveanxiouslythanking.”Colinbeckoned with the hand, brokeexcitedQuincy, „, ifyouscrewed up......”
“你先别急着谢。”柯林摆摆手,打断了过于激动的昆西,“如果你搞砸了……”„Idefend the book collectionhallfor a lifetimeforyou!”Quincysaidloudly.
“那我为您守一辈子的藏书馆!”昆西大声说道。Colinshows the whites of the eyes.
柯林翻了个白眼。Never expected thatthisold manalsoverychickenthief.
没想到这个老头子也挺鸡贼的。On his bigage, did not knowalsomanyyear of good work.
就他这一大把年纪,也不知道还有多少年好活了。Screwed upcame backto defend the book collectionhall, howto see that will not owe.
搞砸了回来守藏书馆,怎么看都不会太亏。InsteadprobablyColinis caring for the agedtohim.
反而像是柯林在给他养老了。„No, is not only you. Ifyouscrewed up, your son, right, youdid have the son?”ColinseesQuincyto nod , to continue saying that „your son must defend the book collectionhall, defendsfor a lifetime!”
“不,不光是你。如果你搞砸了,你的儿子,对了,你有儿子吧?”柯林看到昆西点头,才继续道,“你的儿子也要来守藏书馆,守一辈子!”
The complexion of Quincythenhadsomechanges.
昆西的脸色这才有了些变化。„What's wrong? Fear? Are yourbeforehandbrave wordsboasting?”Colinsees thatthenstartsto stir uphim.
“怎么?害怕了?难道你之前的豪言壮语都是在吹牛?”柯林见状便开始激他。„Naturallyno!”
“当然没有!”„Good, yourselfelect. Either , to continue to givemeto defend the book collectionhall, either, holdsmeto giveyouropportunity, wrestles.”
“那好,你自己选吧。要么,继续给我守藏书馆,要么,抓住我给你的这一次机会,搏一把。”
The chest of Quincyis fluctuatingfiercely, after long time, clenches teeth, ruthlesssound said:
昆西的胸膛剧烈起伏着,半晌之后,一咬牙,狠声道:„ViscountSir, ifIreallycanmakeIce Rock Cityin ten years the northernboundarymostdazzlingcity, youcanacceptmyrequest?”
“子爵大人,如果我真的能让冰岩城在十年之内成为北境最耀眼的城市,您能不能答应我一个要求?”„Said that looks.”
“说说看。”„Ihope that youcanbestowmysurname!”
“我希望您能赐给我一个姓氏!”Colin'seyebrowfirst choiceselecting.
柯林的眉头挑了挑。Inbrillianceempire, only then the aristocratpermits the surname.
在光辉帝国中,只有贵族才允许有姓氏。Naturally, elder brotherSitithisrequest, does not makeColingivehisto seal/confernobility.
当然,昆西提这个要求,并不是让柯林给他封爵。Because, this does not permit.
因为,这是不允许的。According to the aristocratprinciple of thisworld, the civiliansdo not allowto be sealed the nobility.
按照这个世界的贵族法则,平民是不允许被封爵的。Because, theydo not have the noblebloodline, theydo not match!
因为,他们没有高贵的血统,他们不配!However, the civiliansnotreallydo not have the meansto realize the social classto jump.
但是,平民也并非真的没有办法实现阶级跃迁。Butthisonlyjumpwayis, marries an aristocrat'sdaughter.
而这个唯一的跃迁方法就是,娶一个贵族之女。So long as this aristocrat'sdaughterbirthnextdescendant, then, the descendant of thiscivilianandaristocratthenhadnoblebloodline-, althoughis not so pure, but can also enter the eyes of aristocratreluctantly.
只要这个贵族之女诞下一个后裔,那么,这位平民与贵族的后裔便有了高贵的血统-虽然不那么纯净,但也勉强能入贵族的眼了。Healsohad the qualifications of accepting the title.
他也就有了接受爵位的资格。
After sealing the nobility, thisdescendantthencanmake the enfeoffed noblesbestow the surnametooneself( ifhehas not inheritedmatriarchalsurname).
封爵之后,这位后裔便可以让封君给自己赐姓(如果他没有继承母系姓氏的话)。Butthissurname, cangivehis father, grandfatherandpaternal great-grandfather...... sharing.
而这个姓氏,是可以给他的父亲、祖父、曾祖父……共享。Thiswasbrings honor to ancestorstruly.
这是真正的光宗耀祖了。But the Quincypresentrequest, isthismeaning- makesColinhelphim, heshouldmarrymotionless.
而昆西现在的请求,就是这个意思-让柯林帮他,呃,他应该娶不动了。Shouldbehelps the sons in Quincyget married an aristocrat'sdaughter, makingtheirfamiliesrealize the classto jump!
应该是帮昆西的儿子迎娶一位贵族之女,让他们家族实现阶层跃迁!„Good.”Colinnodded.
“好。”柯林点头了。Henot onlydid not think that Quincythistypehas not rendered meritorious serviceraises the civilians of request is not tactful, insteadthought that thisisself-confidentmanifestation.
他不但不觉得昆西这种还没立功就提要求的平民太不识趣,反而觉得这是一种自信的体现。
The abilityis proportionalwith the temperamentgenerally.
能力一般与脾气成正比。Comparesin a good naturemediocre person, helikeshaving the temperamentto have the individualityto dareto raise the capable person of request.
相比于一个好脾气的庸人,他更喜欢有脾气有个性敢提要求的能人。Ifthisformertax collectorreallycanmakeIce Rock City the northernboundarywealthiestcity, Colinfelt,thispersonhas the qualificationsto advance intoaristocrat.
如果这位前任税务官真的能让冰岩城成为北境最富裕的城市,那柯林觉得,这个人有资格跻身贵族之列。SawColinto agreeownrequest, Quincyfirstshowed the look that does not dareto believe that then waswild with joy.
见柯林同意了自己的要求,昆西先是露出不敢置信的神色,然后便是狂喜。Finally, hekneels downin front ofColindecisively, takes an oathto give loyalty.
最后,他果断在柯林面前跪下,宣誓效忠。Colinuses【Blade of Judgement 】Selectedin the shoulder of Quincy, acceptedgiving loyalty to of opposite party.
柯林用【审判之刃】在昆西的肩头点了点,接受了对方的效忠。„Ok, the matter of tax collectordecided. Now, youshouldhelpmelook forrelated this record of sword.”
“好了,税务官的事就这么定了。现在,你该帮我找一找有关这把剑的记载了。”„Naturally, naturally! Pleasewait a bit!”Quincyslow the godhas not comefrom the excitement, the bodyis shivering.
“当然,当然!您请稍等!”昆西还未从激动中缓过神来,身体都在不停地颤抖着。Regardingcivilians, nothingcompared withentering an upper classmore gloriousmatter.
对于一个平民来说,没有什么比进入贵族阶层更荣耀的事情了。Even ifthismatterdoes not have the shadownow, butQuincy seemed to have seen the family'sbrightfuture.
哪怕现在这事还没影,但昆西似乎已经看到了自己家族光明的未来。WithoutlettingColinand othershow long, Quincyheld a thickbigend of bookto walktremblingly.
没让柯林等多久,昆西就颤颤巍巍地捧着一本厚厚的大头书走了出来。Turnedlooked forone, Quincysaidrespectfully: „ViscountSir, related【Blade of Judgement 】Recordhere.”
翻找了一阵,昆西恭敬地说道:“子爵大人,有关【审判之刃】的记载都在这里了。”Colinnods, sitsto readcarefully.
柯林点点头,坐下来细细翻看起来。Thisworldactuallydoes not have„divine tool” a kind of thing.
这个世界其实是不存在“神器”一类的东西。Impossiblecandominate the worldwith a bladeor the sword.
不可能拿一把刀或剑就能称霸世界。Perhapsin the Spiritual Godhandhassuchthing, butactuallyneverflows in the world of mortals.
或许神灵手中有这样的东西,但却从未流入凡间。【Blade of Judgement 】Alsoismanufactureexcellentknightsword, isbuildsby the renowneddwarfblacksmith, sharp, tenacious, butcould not have achievedto destroy the hardest defenses.
【审判之刃】也就是一把制作精良的骑士剑而已,是由著名的矮人铁匠打造,锋利,坚韧,但还做不到无坚不摧。Aotechnique that aboveinscribeswill truly raiseitsworthenormously, butalso is only restricted inthis, wantsto depend on this swordstepchallenge, kills the four directionsgreatly, thatobviouslyisnot possible.
上面铭刻的奥术法阵确实会极大地提高它的身价,但也仅限于此,想靠着这把剑越阶挑战,大杀四方,那显然是不可能的。Ifitreallyhasthismight, DukeSt. Hildewill not grantconvenientlytoColin.
如果它真有这种威力,圣希尔德公爵也不会随手赏赐给柯林。Makesthisbecome famous the swordtruly, mustlook at that whosehanditwas once grasped, as well asdidwhatimportant matter.
真正让这把剑成名的,还是要看它曾被握在谁的手里,以及干了什么大事。According to the record, this sword earliest oncewas the saber of DukeSt. Theon.
据记载,这把剑最早曾是圣席恩公爵的佩剑。For a lifetimethisDukeSt. Theondoes a matter that breaks offgood, killed an emperor in brillianceempirepersonally!
这位圣席恩公爵一辈子做的最牛掰的一件事,就是亲手杀死了一位光辉帝国的皇帝!Butweapon that heusedat that time, isthis【Blade of Judgement 】!
而他当时用的武器,正是这把【审判之刃】!Thismatterwas having a great influence, almostto make the brillianceempiredisintegrateat that time.
这件事在当时影响极大,几乎让光辉帝国就此分崩离析。„Regicide”DukeSt. Theonafterkillingemperor, immediatelybecamebeing the target of public criticism, was spurnedbyallhuman.
“弑君者”圣席恩公爵在杀死皇帝之后,顿时成了众矢之的,被所有人类唾弃。
The entirehumanempireis flustered, the feudal lordsdispatch troops into battlein abundance, the preparationcrusades againstthis„regicide”.
整个人类帝国人心惶惶,领主们纷纷起兵,准备讨伐这位“弑君者”。
A matter that butimmediatelyhas, makesthis„regicide”change, became„trial”.
但随即发生的一件事,却让这位“弑君者”摇身一变,成了“审判者”。Shortly afterkilling one's sovereign the event, under the Popecrown of brilliancechurchactuallyannounced that in the presence of everyoneDukeSt. Theonwas innocent, andannounced a tora-
在弑君事件发生后没多久,光辉教会的教皇冕下竟然当众宣布圣席恩公爵无罪,并公布了一条神谕-„Hasdarkness, will certainlybe placed on trial!”
“心存黑暗者,必将受审判!”Relationthensituation, thistorawas clearly saying that- emperorhas the darkness, butDukeSt. Theonis actually tryinghim!
联系当时的情形,这条神谕分明是在说-皇帝心存黑暗,而圣席恩公爵却是在审判他!ThistorasavedDukeSt. Theon.
这条神谕拯救了圣席恩公爵。Lowered the toraincluding the lords of brilliance, thatnaturallycannotalsosomepeopledareto continueto condemnDukeSt. Theon.
连光辉之主都降下神谕了,那自然不会还有人敢继续谴责圣席恩公爵了。Allinfamychange to thatkilledemperorimmediately.
所有的骂名立刻转到了那位被杀死的皇帝身上。Becausein the torahas„hasdarkness”these words, therefore, thatpitifulemperoris called„blackemperor”.
因为神谕中有“心存黑暗者”这句话,所以,那位可怜的皇帝就此被称为“黑皇帝”。
The public opinionreversesinstantaneously, „blackemperor”immediatelybecomesin the empirehistoryto be most muddle-headed, worstmonarchy, but„trial”DukeSt. Theonbecomes the hero in empire, the crest of waveis unmatched.
舆论瞬间逆转,“黑皇帝”立刻成为了帝国历史上最昏聩,最邪恶的君主,而“审判者”圣席恩公爵则成为了帝国的英雄,风头一时无两。Therefore, hebringsto kill„blackemperor”thatknightsword, is called【Blade of Judgement 】.
所以,他拿来杀死“黑皇帝”的那把骑士剑,也就被称为【审判之刃】。Colinlooks atthisphase of history, the doubts in heartwere more.
柯林看完这段历史,心中的疑惑却更多了。Why can Marquis Garciaallowhimto understandthesethings?加西亚侯爵为什么要让他了解这些东西?What is hesuggestingtoColin?
他是在向柯林暗示什么吗?OnceDukeSt. Theonkilledownmonarchy the swordwiththis, is it possible that Marquis Garciaalsowantsto makeColinkillhisenfeoffed nobleswithit- DukeSt. Hilde?
曾经的圣席恩公爵用这把剑杀死了自己的君主,莫非,加西亚侯爵也想让柯林用它杀死他的封君-圣希尔德公爵?Sowill not be straightforward......
不会这么直白吧……Colinthinkssuddenly, Marquis Garciapromptsheunderstands this history of sword the time, is discussing the loyalthistopicwithhim.
柯林忽然想到,加西亚侯爵提示他去了解一下这把剑的历史的时候,是在跟他讨论忠诚这个话题。Therefore, the information that Marquis Garciawantsto give, shouldalsowithloyalrelated.
所以,加西亚侯爵所想传递的信息,应该也是跟忠诚有关。Whatisloyal?
什么是忠诚?
Is killing one's sovereign of DukeSt. Theon, loyal?圣席恩公爵的弑君,算是忠诚吗?Ifthisis the betrayal, whyhewill obtain the brillianceLordremitting?
如果这是背叛,那他为何会得到光辉之主的赦免?Colinthinks, askedtonearbyQuincysuddenly:
柯林想了一阵,忽然对一旁的昆西问道:„The detailedrecordaboutthatblackemperorentire life, youlooksto showme.”
“关于那位黑皇帝生平的详细记载,你去找来给我看看。”„Blackemperor?”Quincythinks,lateractuallyshakes the head saying that „was sorry, viscountSir, the record of herenotthisemperorentire life.”
“黑皇帝?”昆西想了想,随后却摇头道,“抱歉,子爵大人,这里没有这位皇帝生平的记载。”„No?”Colinsurpriselifted the head.
“没有?”柯林诧异地抬起了头。
The doubts in heartwere deeperimmediately.
心中的疑惑顿时更深了。Possiblyhownot to have?
怎么可能没有呢?
