黑压压的乌云笼罩在银月城上空,不时还滚过几声隆隆的闷雷。Mustrain.
要下雨了。

街上的行人脚步匆忙,都想在暴雨来临之前赶回家。City eastsmalltavern, welcomedtwoguests.
城东一处小酒馆,也迎来了两位客人。

酒馆侍者一看这两位客人的打扮和气质,就知道他们必定是贵族。然后腰杆便不自觉地弯了下来,毕恭毕敬地将他们带到一个安静的靠窗位置。Thesetwoguesta man and a woman.
这两位客人一男一女。
The menprobably20over, have the brightgoldenhair and sea-blueeye, particularlythateye, the seaequally seems to be profound, eachas ifhasto plant the completely understoodmisconceptionby the people who itgazes.
男子大概二十出头,有着亮金色的头发和海蓝色的眼睛,尤其是那双眼睛,仿佛大海一样深邃,每一个被它注视的人都仿佛有种被看透的错觉。
The age of femalemustbe slightly smaller, the facial featuresprettyandhave a thrivingheroic spirit, herfigureis exquisite, the movementis vigorous, is more noticeable, is a giantextravagantsword that shecarriesbehind.
女子的年岁要稍小一些,面容俏丽而又带有一股勃发的英气,她身形小巧,动作矫健,更引人注目的,则是她身后背着的一把巨大的阔剑。

阔剑的长度几乎跟女子等高,两侧开刃,剑身足有十英寸宽,上面铭刻着玄奥复杂的奥术法阵,靠近一点甚至能感受到上面不时散逸的闪电能量。
The giantextravagantswordforms the sharpcontrastcontrastwith the exquisitefemale, the visual impactstrengthis extremely strong.
巨大的阔剑跟小巧的女子形成鲜明的反差对比,视觉冲击力极强。

剑柄顶端雕刻着一个展翅欲飞的骏马。
If there is studiedto the brillianceempirearistocratbadge, recognizesthisimmediatelyiseast the empire the boundarylordSt. Plossifamily'sbadge- pure whitePegasus.
如果对光辉帝国贵族徽章有所研究,就会立刻认出这是帝国东境之主圣普洛斯家族的徽章-纯白天马。„Bang!”
“砰!”
After the femalestake a seat, convenientlybehindextravagantswordbynearwall, butlooked that the swordpricksthathit that the depth of groundandsent outa moment agosharp, knows that the weight/quantity of thisswordis absolutely heavy.
女子入座后,随手将背后的阔剑靠在墙边,但看剑尖刺入地面的深度和刚才发出的那一声撞击,就知道这剑的分量绝对不轻。„Elder Brother, howyoupatronizedfor these daysare tasting the good wineeverywhere, forgot our timeto come the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gateto have the duty?”
“哥哥,你这几天怎么都光顾着到处品尝美酒,难道忘了我们这次来银月城是带着任务的啊?”
The menshow a faint smile, has not answeredyounger sister'sissueimmediately.
男子微微一笑,没有立刻回答妹妹的问题。Butreceived the wine that the waitercarries, andonvariousyounger sisteronecupstooneself, thenraises glassto hint: „Anxiousanything, firsttasteshereliquor.”
而是接过侍者端来的葡萄酒,给自己和妹妹各倒上一杯,然后举杯示意:“急什么,先尝尝这里的酒。”
The femalesare helpless, hasto raise glasswith the Elder Brotherbumps.
女子无奈,只好举杯与哥哥相碰。Liftsin the hands, the sleeve cuff of men'srevealed that threesilverstripesembroiderdecoration- thisis the empirecountscanhave the mark that.
抬手间,男子的袖口显露出三道银色条纹绣饰-这是帝国伯爵才能有的标记。In additionthatpure whitePegasusbadge on women'sextravagantsword, the status of thatthesetwohonoredguests can also guess.
再加上女子阔剑上的那个纯白天马徽章,那这两位尊贵客人的身份也就能猜出来了。Eastern the RulerSt. Plossi ofboundary the familyonly has a Count, thatisIvanSt. Plossi.
东境的统治者-圣普洛斯家族只有一位伯爵,那就是埃文・圣普洛斯。Count Ivanis the second son of DukeSt. Plossi, issolidCountto seal/confer.埃文伯爵是圣普洛斯公爵的次子,是位实封伯爵。Youngreceivesposition of the Countto seal/confer, seems likethisdukesecond sonto be as if favoredvery much.
年纪轻轻就受封伯爵之位,看起来这位公爵次子似乎很受宠。Butunderstandsin this professionperson to understandtruly, the factis just the opposite.
但真正懂这里面行道的人就能明白,事实恰恰相反。
Like the northernboundary, the firstsuccessor of easternboundarydukewill also accept the position of marquisemptyseals, thistitleisnothingcorrespondingterritory, after all after waiting for the duketo pass away, the entireeasternboundaryisthismarquis.
就跟北境一样,东境公爵的第一继承人也会接受一个虚封的侯爵之位,这个爵位是没有任何相应领地的,毕竟等公爵去世后,整个东境都是这位侯爵的。Buteasternboundaryduketo seal/confersecond sonIvanfor the Count, was basically equal towas saying-
而东境公爵封次子埃文为伯爵,基本也就等于是在说-Thisearlshipandthisstretch of territorygaveyou, as for the position of myduke, yoube not keeping thinking.
这个伯爵爵位和这片领地都给你了,至于我的公爵之位,你就别惦记着了。Dreaded that the meaningis obvious.
忌惮之意昭然若揭。Oneglass of liquorget into the stomach, Count Ivanclosed the eye, carefultastelong time.
一杯酒下肚,埃文伯爵闭上了眼睛,细细品味半晌。Opens the eyeagain, sawvision that the younger sisteris unforgiving.
再睁开眼睛,就看到了妹妹不依不饶的目光。Count Ivansmiles helplessly, hasto open the mouth saying: „Good, good, Anna, you know why Iamn't finding the person in halfelfroyal familyanxiously?”埃文伯爵无奈一笑,只好开口道:“好,好,安娜,你知道我为什么不急着去找半精灵王室的人么?”„Why?”
“为什么?”„Because, thisis the duty that is doomedto be defeatedonetime.”Count Ivantooneselfbut actuallyoneglass of liquor, „, therefore, wastes the timewithit, might as wellfirsttaste the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate the good wine, thisis notwhiteto come.”
“因为,这是一次注定要失败的任务啊。”埃文伯爵又给自己倒了一杯酒,“所以,与其浪费时间,不如先尝遍银月城的美酒,这样也不算白来一趟。”
The Annabrowtightwrinkle, askedpuzzled: „Whyyouthought that thisis the duty that is doomed to be defeatedonetime?”
安娜眉头紧皱,不解地问道:“为什么你觉得这是一次注定会失败的任务?”Count Ivanclosed one's eyes, tasteswas just entering the good wine of throat, saidlightly:埃文伯爵闭着眼睛,回味着刚入喉的美酒,淡淡道:„Fathersendsourgoing abroad on a diplomatic missionsilversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, wantsto preventhalfelfkingdomto reverse to the northernboundarythoroughly. ButIbelieve,thisnearlyisnot possible. Because, DukeSt. Hildehas the method that mustwin!”
“父亲派我们出使银月城,就是想阻止半精灵王国彻底倒向北境。但我认为,这近乎是不可能的。因为,圣希尔德公爵有一个必胜的方法!”„Canwin?” A Annafacedoes not believe that „ whatmethod, canguarantee that makes the northernboundarywin the control of halfelfkingdomsurely?
“必胜?”安娜一脸不信,“什么方法,能保证让北境必定获得半精灵王国的控制权?Even ifVerasuccessfullymarriesPrinceToupet, thatnotnecessarilycancontrol the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate?
就算薇拉成功嫁给图佩王子,那也不一定就能掌控银月城吧?PrinceToupetafter all is the secondpositionsuccessor . Moreover, youhave not said that halfelfkingisplays the balancedexpert, won't side witheither oneat will? ”
图佩王子毕竟是第二顺位继承人,而且,你不是说过,半精灵国王是个玩平衡的高手,不会随意倒向任何一方吗?”„Hehe, halfelfkingis an old fox, butDukeSt. Hilde is actually the lion.”Count Ivanopens the eye, the corners of the mouthappearsto wipeto sneer, „wantsto know the method that thismustwinwhatis?”
“呵呵,半精灵国王是个老狐狸,但圣希尔德公爵却是雄狮。”埃文伯爵睁开眼睛,嘴角浮现出一抹冷笑,“想知道这个必胜的方法是什么吗?”„What?”
“什么?”„Methodis-”
“方法就是-”Count Ivandrankoneglass of liquor, immediatelywith the languagegas channel/angrily said that coldRuohanices:埃文伯爵又喝了一杯酒,随即用冷若寒冰的语气道:„KilledVera!”
“杀了薇拉!”„Bang!” A lightningpunctures the sky of out of the window, immediatelytransmits is the deafeningthunderclap.
“轰隆!”一道闪电刺破窗外的天空,随即传来的便是震耳欲聋的雷声。Annastaredin a big way the eye, looksownElder Brother.
安娜瞪大了眼睛,怔怔地看着自己哥哥。Long timedoes not dareto believeasks: „Yousaid,DukeSt. Hildekilledownadopted daughter, can certainlywin the control of halfelfkingdom?”
半晌才不敢置信地问道:“你是说,圣希尔德公爵杀了自己的养女,就一定能获得半精灵王国的控制权?”„Right.”In the Count Ivanlookis exuding the bloodthirstyray, „, so long asVeradiesin the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, the northernboundaryhad the excuse of dispatching troops.
“没错。”埃文伯爵的眼神中泛着嗜血的光芒,“只要薇拉死在银月城,那么,北境就有了出兵的借口。Isuspected,northernboundarythatinvincibleblackrode the armyto be ready and waitingnow. Theykillunder the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, it is estimated thatalsoontendays of times.
我怀疑,北境那支战无不胜的黑骑军现在就已经整装待发了。他们一路杀到银月城下,估计也就十天的功夫。You said that by that time, does the silver moonguard of halfelfdareto defendaccording to the city?
你说,到那时候,半精灵的银月卫队敢据城而守吗?ButourfatherSirs, dareto dispatch troops tohalfelfkingdom, withrides the armyto fight a decisive battleon the landblack? ”
而我们的父亲大人,敢出兵半精灵王国,跟黑骑军在陆地上打一场决战吗?”Annawas silent, does not know that was frightenedbyownElder Brothercrazy thought that thought that the answer of finaltwoissueis unable to open one's mouth.
安娜沉默了,不知道是被自己哥哥这个疯狂的念头吓到了,还是觉得最后两个问题的答案无法启齿。Ifrides the armyto rush tounder the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gateblack, thenaccording to a halfelfclan„glorious tradition”, theydefinitelyyield peacefully.
如果黑骑军一路冲到银月城下,那根据半精灵一族的“光荣传统”,他们肯定是不战而降。Buteasternboundaryduke?
而东境公爵呢?Perhapsdoes not darereallyto dispatch troops tohalfelfkingdom, withrides the armyto meet the tough head-on with toughnessblack.
恐怕也不敢真的出兵半精灵王国,跟黑骑军硬碰硬吧。Do not look that the northernboundaryjustexperiencedchaos, the armylostseriously.
别看北境刚刚经历了一场大乱,军队损失严重。So long asthatonlymaderide the army that onewas panic at the newsblackalso, thatno onedaresto despise the northernboundary.
但只要那只令人闻风丧胆的黑骑军还在,那就没人敢轻视北境。Let alone, the easternboundaryhasover a hundredyearsnot to experience the flames of war, the armyquantityismany, but the battle efficiencyis worrying.
更何况,东境已经有上百年没有经历战火了,军队数量是不少,但战斗力却堪忧。Has not experienced the test of bloodandfire, is unable to forge a strengthening of the armed forces.
没有经历过血与火的考验,是无法锻造出一支强军的。Occupied the place of angrywaterriverto benefit, perhaps the army of northernboundaryhas pushed directly into, expelledWhite Dew City the St. Plossifamily.
要不是占据了怒水河的地利,恐怕北境的军队早就长驱直入,将圣普洛斯家族赶出白露城了。Annalongputs out the one breath, shakes the head saying: „Thisis onlyyourguess. Is DukeSt. Hildeforhalfelfkingdom, really willingto discard a daughter?”
安娜长长地吐出一口气,摇头道:“这只是你的猜测吧。圣希尔德公爵为了半精灵王国,真的愿意舍弃一个女儿?”„Is an adopted daughter.”Count Ivaninvestigates the correct path, „. Moreover, evenbiological daughterhow? ToDukeSt. Hildethisperson, whathaving cannot discard?”
“是养女。”埃文伯爵纠正道,“而且,就算是亲生女儿又如何?对圣希尔德公爵这种人来说,有什么是不能舍弃的呢?”Annalooksownelder brother'seyes, askedearnestly: „IfyouareDukeSt. Hilde, will do that?”
安娜看着自己哥哥的眼睛,认真地问道:“如果你是圣希尔德公爵,会这么做吗?”„Meeting.”Count Ivandoes not haveoneto replyhesitant.
“会。”埃文伯爵不带一丝犹豫地答道。„Ido not believe.”Annaactuallyshakes the head, „, although the father and big brothersdo not likeyou, thought that youworkto resort to all means that without the bottom line, did not speak the knightspiritcompletely. ButIknow,youare notsuchperson.”
“我不信。”安娜却摇摇头,“虽然父亲和大哥都不喜欢你,觉得你做事不择手段,没有底线,完全不讲骑士精神。但我知道,你不是这样的人。”Count Ivanhehesmiles: „Iarewhatperson can youhowknow?”埃文伯爵呵呵一笑:“我是什么样的人你又怎么能知道呢?”„Byintuition.” A Annafaceis natural.
“靠直觉啊。”安娜一脸理所当然。Count Ivanwas startledbeing startled, thenlowers the head, in the eyeexudeswarm feeling, buton the mouthridiculed: „Mysillyyounger sister! Yourthismustbe deceivedsooner or later.”埃文伯爵怔了怔,然后低下头,眼中泛起一丝暖意,但嘴上却嘲笑道:“我的傻妹妹哦!你这样迟早要被人骗。”Annalightsnort/hum, obviouslythinks otherwisetoelder brother'swarning, asked: „Did ourreallydoes not have anymeansprevent the northernboundary?”
安娜轻哼一声,显然对哥哥的告诫不以为然,又问道:“难道我们真的没有任何办法阻止北境了吗?”Count Ivandrankoneglass of liquor, shook the head saying: „Actuallyhas.”埃文伯爵又喝了一杯酒,晃了晃脑袋道:“其实是有的。”Annaaskedhastily:
安娜连忙问道:„Whatmeans?”
“什么办法?”
