What status in the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate is? What help can also provide to me?” “是吗？”柯林神色玩味地看着冈本亲王,又问道,“那不知道这位西斯朋友是哪族人？在银月城是什么身份？又能给我提供什么样的帮助？” Gonben Prince shrugged: „ You leave think. This Heath is only -and-a-half elf merchants who I once knew, should unable to add on your anything busy. 冈本亲王摊了摊手:“您别多想。这位西斯只是我曾经认识的一位半精灵商人,应该也帮不上您什么大忙。 I am looked that your elf kingdom is not fifty-fifty familiar, therefore introduced that a native gives you to know. ” 我是看您对半精灵王国不怎么熟悉,所以介绍一位当地人给您认识一下。” Colin shows the whites of the eyes, obviously does not believe this Heath is only an ordinary half elf merchant. 柯林翻了个白眼,显然是不相信这个西斯只是一个普通的半精灵商人。 But since Gonben not agrees said, he many did not ask. 但既然冈本不肯说,那他也不好多问。 Perhaps looks like in Gonben, Colin this time goes abroad on a diplomatic mission half elf kingdom, definitely shouldered the important mission of duke, must win over half elf high level. 或许在冈本看来,柯林这次出使半精灵王国,肯定是肩负了公爵的重要使命,要去拉拢半精灵高层。 But actually, Colin has not received any instruction of duke. 但其实,柯林根本就没有接到公爵的任何指示。 Moreover, he also a little thinks that does not understand why the duke must send him to make this to accompany the bride to her new home the ambassador. 而且,他还有点想不明白公爵为何非要派他来做这个送亲大使。 However, no matter the plan of duke is anything, the plan of Colin is very explicit. 不过,不管公爵的计划是什么,柯林自己的计划是非常明确的。 That is, he must prevent Vera to marry Prince Toupet! 那就是,他必须阻止薇拉嫁给图佩王子！ Even if stirs earth-shaking the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, even if half elf kingdom reverses to the eastern boundary thoroughly, even if the northern boundary therefore lost crossed the angry water river to commanded the troops the east-bound opportunity, refused to balk. 哪怕将银月城搅个天翻地覆,哪怕半精灵王国就此彻底倒向东境,哪怕北境因此失去渡过怒水河挥师东进的机会,也在所不惜。 As for the plan of Duke St. Hilde...... 至于圣希尔德公爵的计划…… That closes his trifling thing. 那个关他屁事。 Now Duke St. Hilde image in Colin heart has crashed thoroughly. 现在圣希尔德公爵在柯林心中的形象已经彻底崩塌。 Resorts to all means for the benefit, the politician of brain schemes and tricks, is unable to win Colin's respect, does not match to obtain his loyalty. 一个为了利益不择手段,满脑子阴谋诡计的政客,是无法赢得柯林的尊重,更不配获得他的忠诚。 Seemed like completed the task, later the Gonben Prince mood obviously reduced greatly, chatted a while after Colin said goodbye to depart. 似乎是完成了任务,之后冈本亲王的谈兴明显大减,又跟柯林闲扯了一会儿后就告辞离去。 ----- ----- The dim light of night is deep. 夜色已深。 The people in camp have gone to sleep, only then a small number on -duty sentry posts in peripheral patrol security. 营地中的众人都已经睡下,只有少数执勤的岗哨在周边巡逻警戒。 Gonben Prince has not actually rested, but faces a checkerboard before body to rack brains. 冈本亲王却还没有睡,而是面对着身前的一副棋盘苦思冥想。 On the checkerboard is distributing being in sharp contrast board game pieces. 棋盘上分布着一颗颗黑白分明的棋子。 This is game named Othello chess, through turns over the board game piece of opposite party mutually, whose board game piece with the checkerboard finally on many judges the victory and defeat. 这是一种名叫奥赛罗棋的游戏,通过相互翻转对方的棋子,最后以棋盘上谁的棋子多来判断胜负。 Therefore also called the turn over chess, was quite popular in the aristocrats in brilliance empire. 因此也叫翻转棋,在光辉帝国的贵族中颇为流行。 At this time Gonben Prince is playing this Othello chess, but, in the tent does not have others, he is plays chess with himself. 此时冈本亲王就在玩这个奥赛罗棋,不过,营帐中没有其他人,他是自己跟自己对弈。 Seemed like meets what difficult problem, Gonben Prince rested one's chin in one's hands single-handed, is staring at front checkerboard, for a very long time did not have the next step movement. 似乎是遇上了什么难题,冈本亲王单手托腮,凝视着面前的棋盘,久久没有下一步的动作。 Has not known how long, in the tent a light shadow flashed, in front of Gonben Prince unexpectedly were many a person. 不知过了多久,营帐中一阵光影闪动,冈本亲王面前竟然多了一个人。 He wears a spacious black robe, as if continuously there. 他穿着一身宽大的黑袍,仿佛一直就在那里。 „!” “啪！” The black robe person puts out a hand to turn hostile left bottom a checkerboard black, reveals the reverse white. 黑袍人伸手将棋盘左下角的一枚黑棋翻面,露出反面的白色。 Gonben Prince had not minded that the opposite party disturbs own game, looks that on the checkerboard the situation of reversal instead laughs to say instantaneously: „Fierce, Mr. Wizard!” 冈本亲王没有介意对方打扰自己的游戏,看着棋盘上瞬间逆转的形势反而哈哈大笑道:“厉害呀,觋先生！” „Cheap trick.” The Mr. Wizard look is indifferent. “小把戏罢了。”觋先生神色淡然。 Gonben Prince sprinkles the board game piece in hand on the checkerboard, is counted to admit defeat: „Yeah, this Othello chess is your human plays comes, I consider as finished.” 冈本亲王将手中的棋子洒在棋盘上,算作认输:“哎,这个奥赛罗棋还是你们人类玩得来,我还是算了。” Mr. Wizard smiles, has not done right after something else, but asked: „Did you introduce Heath to that Viscount Angelie?” 觋先生笑了笑,没有接茬,而是问道:“您将西斯介绍给那位安格列子爵了？” „Yes.” Gonben Prince nods, immediately looks the color of doubts, „, but I there have not probed anything from Viscount Angelie, as if the boy really knows nothing about the plan of Duke St. Hilde.” “是的。”冈本亲王点点头,随即又面露疑惑之色,“但我没有从安格列子爵那里试探出任何东西,仿佛那小子真的对圣希尔德公爵的计划一无所知。” „Normal. Viscount Angelie can simultaneously regards as important by Marquis Garcia and Duke St. Hilde, naturally has its forte, not possible easily to be explored the details by you.” “正常。安格列子爵能够同时被加西亚侯爵和圣希尔德公爵看重,自然有其过人之处,不可能被你这么轻易就试探出底细的。” „Does not make clear the plan of Duke St. Hilde, how should we deal? Heath...... exposes quickly him, is somewhat improper?” “不搞清楚圣希尔德公爵的计划,我们该怎么应对？还有西斯……这么快就将他暴露出来,是不是有些不妥？” Looks Gonben Prince that the complexion hesitates, Mr. Wizard puts out a hand to buckle gently two on the checkerboard. 看着面色犹疑的冈本亲王,觋先生伸手在棋盘上轻轻扣了两下。 Afterward said: „Your highness , like Othello chess, because if you do not make clear the intention of opponent not to dare to begin, that then must defeat without doubt.” 随后说道:“殿下,就跟奥赛罗棋一样,您如果因为搞不清楚对手的意图就不敢落子,那便必败无疑。” „Reasonable.” Gonben Prince nods, but the anxiety on face had not faded completely. “有道理。”冈本亲王点点头,但脸上的疑虑仍未完全消退。 He cleans up the calamity on good checkerboard, invited: „Mr. Wizard, but is willing to accompany my again next game?” 他清理好棋盘上的乱子,邀请道:“觋先生,可愿陪我再下一局？” Mr. Wizard nods slightly: „Is honored utmost!” 觋先生微微颔首:“荣幸之至！” In the tent is peaceful, is only left over the board game piece to fall on the slight sound that on the checkerboard makes. 营帐中安静下来,只剩下棋子落在棋盘上发出的轻微声响。 For a long time later, Gonben Prince stares at the checkerboard to fall into again hesitant, as if bumped into the difficult problem. 许久之后,冈本亲王盯着棋盘再次陷入犹豫,似乎又碰上了难题。 „Mr. Wizard, you said why Duke St. Hilde does want to send Viscount Angelie as accompanying the bride to her new home the ambassador? I thought that this viscount as if has unwilling about Vera, the duke was not worried he destroys oneself and own plan?” “觋先生,您说,圣希尔德公爵为什么要派安格列子爵作为送亲大使？我看这位子爵似乎对薇拉心存不甘,难道公爵不担心他破坏自己的和亲计划吗？” Mr. Wizard looks down the checkerboard, in the mouth asks back: „Your highness, how you know that Viscount Angelie isn't Duke St. Hilde intentionally the dense fog under arrange/cloth?” 觋先生低头看着棋盘,口中反问道:“殿下,您怎么知道安格列子爵不是圣希尔德公爵故意布下的迷雾呢？” „Dense fog?” Gonben Prince looking pensive, „is it possible that carries out the duke to plan truly, actually has someone else?” “迷雾？”冈本亲王若有所思,“莫非真正执行公爵计划的,其实另有其人？” Mr. Wizard nods, shakes the head. 觋先生点点头,又摇摇头。 Gonben Prince sees that immediately had doubts. 冈本亲王见状,顿时更加疑惑了。 Is preparing to closely examine, listens to Mr. Wizard to open the mouth saying: „Your highness, you may know when not making clear the intention of opponent, what is the best countermeasure?” 正准备追问,就听觋先生开口道:“殿下,您可知道,在搞不清楚对手的意图时,最好的应对策略是什么吗？” „What is?” “是什么？” „Should not be right.” “是不应对。” „Shouldn't be right?” “不应对？” „Right.” Mr. Wizard raised the head, the profound vision looks straight ahead the eye of Gonben Prince, „ is under you your, under me my. Does not guess that the opponent actually wants to do, only improves own layout with single-hearted devotion. “对。”觋先生抬起头,幽深的目光直视冈本亲王的眼睛,“就是你下你的,我下我的。不去猜对手到底想干什么,只专心完善自己的布局。 Until both sides engage in hand-to-hand combat, attacks the problem one manifestation at a time again. ” 直到双方短兵相接,再见招拆招。” Gonben Prince is stroking gently the board game piece in hand, as if finally understood anything. 冈本亲王摩挲着手中的棋子,似乎终于明白了什么。 After the moment, he sprinkles however smiles, lays aside the board game piece on the checkerboard, said: „Mr. Wizard, you are really the gambling expert! You, half elf kingdom chess, deciding however exceptionally will be splendid!” 片刻后他洒然一笑,将棋子放置在棋盘上,称赞道:“觋先生,您真是位博弈高手！想必有您在,半精灵王国这盘棋,定然会异常精彩！” Mr. Wizard actually smiles bitterly: „ Your highness, human affairs like chess, but the person, is actually not a board game piece. They have the thought that will have Yu to look, has the ambition...... not Chinese chess no matter what generally you will organize. 觋先生却苦笑一声:“殿下,世事如棋,但人,却并非棋子。他们有思想,有Yu望,有野心……不会像棋子一般任你摆布。 Before I in the layout of northern boundary, therefore fell short, helped Duke St. Hilde on the contrary busy...... ” 之前我在北境的布局,就因此而功亏一篑,反倒帮了圣希尔德公爵大忙……” Gonben Prince consoles to say hastily: „Mr. Wizard does not need to rebuke oneself. Except for Spiritual God, but also who can really calculate completely all?” 冈本亲王连忙劝慰道:“觋先生不必自责。除了神灵,还有谁能真的算尽一切？” Mr. Wizard sprinkles however smiles: „Your highness felt relieved, small setback also being insufficient makes me dejected. Moreover, just as I said that the person, is not a board game piece, not whatever will organize. Half elf kingdom chess, will be perhaps more than everyone expected!” 觋先生洒然一笑:“殿下放心,小小挫折还不至于让我心灰意冷。而且,正如我所说的,人,并非棋子,不会任由摆布。半精灵王国这盘棋,恐怕会超出所有人的预料！” Gonben Prince raised the head, looks at Mr. Wizard looking pensive. 冈本亲王抬起头,若有所思地看着觋先生。 As if thinks some position has the unwilling viscount. 仿佛想到了某位心存不甘的子爵。 Then, showed the smile of approval. 然后,露出了认同的微笑。
