I planned to accompany him to go again one time, but was too recently busy. If you have free time, accompanies him to play again.” “恩,上次跟雷戈骑士去打猎,这家伙碰上了个神秘骑士,被揍了一顿,没能尽兴。我本来打算再陪他去一次,不过最近太忙了。你要是有空,就陪他再去玩玩。” Previous time after borrows the blood, Colin smoothly promotes second-order. 上次跟雷戈借血后,柯林顺利地晋升到了二阶。 However, he thought that blood should also be able to help him promote again third-order, therefore wants to borrow again one time. 不过,他觉得雷戈的鲜血应该还能再帮他晋升到三阶,所以想再借一次。 But Colin did not plan to get to go hunting again, was so easy to cause the suspicion of opposite party. 但柯林不打算再自己领雷戈去打猎了,那样容易引起对方的怀疑。 If follows Colin to go out to go hunting each time is attacked, is stupidly will also suspect that again the raider may be very concerned with Colin. 如果每次跟着柯林出去打猎都会受袭击,那雷戈就是再傻也会怀疑袭击者很可能跟柯林有关。 Therefore, he planned that makes Knight Charl go knight to direct. 所以,他就打算让夏尔骑士去把雷戈骑士引出来。 „Good.” Knight Charl does not doubt him, the nature nod should under. “好的。”夏尔骑士不疑有他,自然点头应下。 After packing off Knight Charl, Colin carries the wine glass of opposite party, pours into the inside surplus poisoned liquor the mouth. 送走夏尔骑士后,柯林端起对方的酒杯,将里面剩余的毒酒灌入自己口中。 Blood Slave and Blood Descendant can the immunity be violently poisonous, oneself should not have the issue. 血奴和血裔都能免疫剧毒,那自己应该更没问题吧。 Colin so thinks. 柯林如此想到。 In he is feeling the change of body carefully, the sound of footsteps resounds again, the Eamonn steward appears in the balcony: „Master, do you look for me?” 就在他细细感受着身体的变化时,脚步声再次响起,伊蒙管家出现在阳台上:“老爷,您找我？” Colin nods: „Sits.” 柯林点点头:“坐吧。” Two people sit down in the balcony, Colin claps, making the maidservant carry two glasses of red wines and some dried fruits. 两人在阳台上坐下,柯林拍拍手,让侍女重新端上两杯红酒和一些果干。 Naturally, in this time liquor does not have the poison. 当然,这次的酒里没毒。 The maidservants suspend softly the thing on the table, then leaves rapidly. 侍女轻手轻脚地将东西摆好在桌上,然后迅速离开。 „Did you change the retinues in castle?” Colin drank a red wine, asked. “你把城堡里的仆从都换了一遍？”柯林喝了口红酒,问道。 „No, but changed the personal retinue of your side, this also for your security concern, moreover spends are not many.” Eamonn answered hastily. “没有,只是将您身边的贴身仆从换了一遍,这也是为了您的安全考虑,而且花费也并不多。”伊蒙连忙解释道。 Colin nods, has not said anything. 柯林点点头,并没有说什么。 The Red Fort present retinues basically also Suduo Family remained initially, Colin did not plan to replace completely, after all recruiting of new retinue also has training to need to spend, but at present the Angelie family's financial conditions are not ample. 红堡如今的仆从基本还都是当初苏铎家族留下来的,柯林本来不打算全部换掉,毕竟新仆从的招募还有培训都需要花钱,而目前安格列家族的财政状况并不宽裕。 He needs to save as far as possible each sum of money, uses in essential place- for example modernization of the armed forces. 他需要将每一笔钱都尽量节省出来,用在关键的地方-比如军队建设。 However, he also knows that the senior steward stemming from the good intention, has not then reproven. 不过,他也知道老管家是出于好心,便没有训斥。 „How does Quincy this new tax collector do at present?” “昆西这个新任税务官目前干得怎么样？” „Very good.” Eamonn nods with a smile, „master you found a very outstanding tax collector.” “很不错。”伊蒙笑着点头,“老爷您找到了一位非常出色的税务官。” „Un, that is good. However, you must stare at his point, I have not been able to trust him now completely.” “恩,那就好。不过,你也要盯着他一点,我现在还不能完全信任他。” „I understand.” “我明白。” Sees Eamonn to understand that own meaning, Colin then felt relieved, pulls out a letter/believes from the coat pocket, gives the senior steward: 见伊蒙明白自己的意思,柯林便放下心来,又从上衣口袋里掏出一封信,递给老管家: „Just received the reply of marquis Dawson, he agreed that provides the warhorse and armor for us has. However, this price...... was too a little high, you have a look to be appropriate.” “刚刚收到道森侯爵的回信,他同意为我们提供战马和甲具。不过,这价格……有点太高了,你看看合不合适。” Eamonn carefully looked at a reply of marquis Dawson, after thinking the moment, said: 伊蒙仔细看了一遍道森侯爵的回信,想了片刻后说道: „Master, we can make marquis Dawson provide a number of samples, if the sample quality, is truly as good as he said rides the standard equipment of army black, that this price is not truly high.” “老爷,我们可以让道森侯爵提供一批样品,如果样品的质量确实如他所说的,不亚于黑骑军的制式装备的话,那这个价格确实不算高。” „Good, that first makes him send a number of samples.” Colin rubbed the forehead, is somewhat worried, „, but can our family's finances...... the present be able to withstand this disbursement?” “好吧,那就先让他送来一批样品。”柯林揉了揉前额,有些苦恼,“但我们家族的财政……现在能够承受得起这笔支出么？” „Very difficult.” Eamonn said truthfully. “很难。”伊蒙如实说道。 Sees Colin to fall into thinks deeply, Eamonn also urged: „Master, with all due respect, forms the cavalry now, was some worries?” 见柯林陷入深思,伊蒙又劝道:“老爷,恕我直言,现在就组建骑兵,是不是有些太着急了？” Colin is silent. 柯林默然。 He understands Eamonn said is reasonable, oneself truly somewhat worried. 他明白伊蒙说的有道理,自己确实有些着急了。 If on 1-2 years, wait for the territory to recover and develop, wait for the tax revenue to be abundant, perhaps form the cavalry more appropriate again. 如果等上1-2,等领地恢复发展,等税收充裕起来,或许再组建骑兵才更合适。 However, Colin actually could not wait is so long. 但是,柯林却等不了那么久。 He knows fissure between Duke St. Hilde and Marquis Garcia has produced. 他可是知道圣希尔德公爵和加西亚侯爵之间的裂痕已经产生。 Although Marquis Garcia looks like also no sound at present, as if endured the betrayal of oneself Elder Brother. 虽然加西亚侯爵目前看来还没什么动静,似乎忍受了自己哥哥的背叛。 But who knows north which day the boundary to present what crisis again, when the time comes, rides before black the army also meet, twice is the same, stands that side Duke St. Hilde outspokenly? 但谁知道哪天北境再出现什么危机,到时候,黑骑军还会和之前两次一样,毫无保留地站在圣希尔德公爵那一边吗？ Therefore, Colin felt the deep crisis. 所以,柯林感受到了深深的危机。 He must hurry to develop oneself influence, the qualifications of so as to avoid when the time comes continually standing in line do not have, can only drift with the current, allows to be oppressed. 他必须赶紧发展自己的势力,免得到时候连站队的资格都没有,只能随波逐流,任人宰割。 Thinks of here, Colin clenches teeth, ruthless sound said. 想到这里,柯林一咬牙,狠声道。 „We can lend!” “我们可以借贷！”
