In the morning, Colin wakes up from the dream. 清晨,柯林从梦中醒来。 The fireplace is still burning, makes the slight sound. 壁炉还在燃烧,发出噼里啪啦的轻微声响。 On the bed also remains the body temperature and fragrance of young girl, but her person already not. 床上还残留着少女的体温和芬芳,但她人已经不在了。 „Good morning, Colin.” “早上好,柯林。” Colin sits sets out to look, sees Vera to sit near dressing table before window. 柯林坐起身一看,就见薇拉正坐在窗前的梳妆台边。 This St. Hilde family tenderest most and beautiful fresh flower has changed a bright yellow hook flower long skirt, is pasting on the wild rose gold ornament to the mirror toward own forehead. 这位圣希尔德家族最娇艳的鲜花已经换好了一身明黄色的钩花长裙,正对着镜子往自己额头贴上蔷薇金饰。 „Good morning, Vera.” “早上好,薇拉。” Colin with Vera who the vision of appreciation looks at not far away, in his opinion, does not see long time, once young girl seemed to be mature. 柯林用欣赏的目光看着不远处的薇拉,在他看来,多日不见,曾经的少女似乎成熟了许多。 The gloomily blue pure eye pupil looks about to live beautifully, the makeup capacity ratio on face usually is more gorgeous the charming, bright red bright and beautiful lip gloss makes the perfect outline look has the stereoscopic effect, although still had a that shyness of neat young girl, but are more, is actually the graceful elegance and gravity, charming character and style that as well as gradually blooms. 幽蓝纯净的眼眸顾盼生妍,脸上的妆容比平时更加艳丽迷人,鲜红亮丽的唇彩让完美的轮廓看起来更有立体感,虽然仍带有一丝楚楚少女的那种羞涩,但更多的,却是落落大方的典雅和庄重,以及逐渐绽放的妩媚风情。 „Attractive?” “好看吗？” Vera dresses and applies makeup, turns around, smiles toward Colin. 薇拉梳妆完毕,转过身来,朝柯林嫣然一笑。 The sunlight of out of the window is very good, the silk threads light diffraction, sprinkled on the body of young girl, shone upon the partly visible halo. 窗外的阳光很好,丝丝缕缕的光线射了进来,洒落在少女的身上,映照出若隐若现的光晕。 „Naturally, your beauty, lets the winter warm Yang is overshadowed!” Colin offers a horse buttocks with a smile. “当然,你的美,让冬日的暖阳都黯然失色！”柯林笑着奉上一个马屁。 Vera turned a lovable supercilious look, as if thought that Colin's commendation is extremely exaggerating. 薇拉翻了个可爱的白眼,似乎觉得柯林的称赞太过夸张。 „This is Queen Aisha teaches me.” The young girls are raising the skirt swayed, turns circle same place. “这还是艾莎女王教我的。”少女提着裙摆,原地转了个圈。 Colin secretly thought no wonder, he thought a moment ago this appearance somewhat looks familiar, moreover is not Vera's consistent style. 柯林暗道一声难怪,他刚才就觉得这份打扮有些眼熟,而且也不是薇拉一贯的风格。 „It seems like you in these days of silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, studied many things.” “看来你在银月城的这段时间,学了不少东西呀。” „Yes. Moreover Queen Aisha also told with me her passing, after listening, I am clear, actually comes compared with her, oneself are very lucky.” “是的。而且艾莎女王还跟我讲述了她的过往,听了之后我才明白,其实比起她来,自己已经很幸运了。” At this point, Vera extends both hands toward Colin, hints him to hug her. 说到这里,薇拉朝柯林伸出双手,示意他抱她。 Colin goes forward with a smile, is away from the frail long skirt, hugs the bosom the young girl. 柯林笑着上前,隔着单薄的长裙,将少女抱进怀里。 At this time he was clear, Vera can walk from the beforehand shadow, perhaps was lucky advising of Queen Aisha. 这时他才明白,薇拉能从之前的阴影中走出来,恐怕还是多亏了艾莎女王的劝导。 Really is an intimate good sweetheart. 真是个贴心的好情人呐。 „I have sent people Winterfell City to request that to Duke St. Hilde got married you, soon, you can become the mistress in Red Fort justifiablily.” “我已经派人去凛冬城向圣希尔德公爵请求迎娶你了,用不了多久,你就可以名正言顺地成为红堡的女主人。” Does not know that because of the spoken language of man , because of the warm bosom, the body of young girl gradually becomes soft, if boneless, the whole person falls in Colin's arms. 不知道是因为男人的言语,还是因为温暖的怀抱,少女的身体逐渐变得软若无骨,整个人都陷在柯林的怀里。 „Colin, even if the foster father did not agree that our weddings, I will not leave you!” Vera said resolutely. “柯林,哪怕养父不同意我们的婚事,我也不会离开你！”薇拉语气坚定地说道。 Colin happily smiled, tightened the young girl soft slender waist, pledged: „Relax, I will make the duke agree with our weddings.” 柯林欣慰一笑,紧了紧少女柔软纤细的腰肢,承诺道:“放心吧,我会让公爵同意我们的婚事的。” Their weddings must be echoed by duke, otherwise, Vera follows he to elope, this does not have the result that Colin of bigger ambition is willing to accept obviously. 他们的婚事必须得到公爵的认同,否则,薇拉跟着他就是私奔,这显然不是有着更大野心的柯林愿意接受的结果。 However, the current situation, Duke St. Hilde has not really been willing to marry Colin Vera probably. 不过,目前的情况来看,圣希尔德公爵好像还真的不太愿意将薇拉嫁给柯林。 The Ice Rock City seeking a marriage alliance envoy had waited for two months in Winterfell City, still has not obtained the interview of duke. 冰岩城的求亲使者在凛冬城已经等了两个多月了,依然没有得到公爵的接见。 Therefore, this time Colin the opportunity of provocation punishes one as a warning to others taking advantage of Baron Lomba on own initiative, makes Baron's son go to Winterfell City to probe while convenient, has a look at that Duke St. Hilde is the real injury is unable to receive guests seriously, drags not to see the Ice Rock City envoy intentionally. 所以,这次柯林才借着隆巴男爵主动挑衅的机会杀鸡儆猴,顺便让男爵之子前往凛冬城试探一下,看看那位圣希尔德公爵是真的伤势严重无法见客,还是故意拖着不见冰岩城的使者。 If the duke really saw Lomba family's person, actually does not see the Ice Rock City envoy, Colin must formulate then plans. 如果公爵真的见了隆巴家族的人,却不见冰岩城的使者,那柯林就要重新制定接下来的计划了。 If you are not willing to me, I to snatch! 如果你不愿给我,那我就去抢！ Felt some changes of man body, Vera somewhat broke free of Colin's arms suddenly startled, shifted the topic: „Colin, were you hungry? We have the breakfast.” 感受到了男人身体的一些变化,薇拉忽然有些惊慌地挣脱了柯林的怀抱,转移话题道:“柯林,你饿了吗？我们去吃早餐吧。” „Good.” Colin smiles mischievously, understands that perhaps the young girl has not caught one's breath from last night crazy. “好。”柯林促狭地笑了笑,明白少女恐怕还没有从昨夜的疯狂中缓过气来。 With the help of Vera, Colin wears the clothes quickly, later walks toward the restaurant together. 在薇拉的帮助下,柯林很快穿好衣服,随后一同往餐厅走去。 After a sumptuous breakfast, Vera proposed that must go to Ice Rock City to stroll, Colin naturally cannot oppose. 一顿丰盛的早餐之后,薇拉提议要去冰岩城中逛逛,柯林自然不会反对。 Today is a rare fine weather, genial warming Yanggao hangs in the sky, scattered the severe coldness of some winters slightly. 今天正好是一个难得的好天气,和煦的暖阳高挂在天空,稍稍驱散了一些冬日的严寒。 Colin and Vera stroll on the Ice Rock City street hand in hand, has not actually caused the too big sound. 柯林与薇拉携手漫步在冰岩城的街道上,却没有引起太大的动静。 This Ice Rock City people disrespect to oneself feudal lord actually not, but was Colin they deliberately hid the identity. 这倒不是冰岩城的民众对自己的领主不敬,而是柯林他们刻意隐藏了身份。 Colin wears a spacious tricorne, the most face will block from, but Vera wore the black gauze kerchief, when restored Colin to see her for the first time image. 柯林戴着一顶宽大的三角帽,将大半张脸都遮住,而薇拉则佩戴了黑色纱巾,恢复了柯林第一次见到她时的形象。 The convoy guard follows by far two people, not on a grand scale. 护卫队远远地跟着两人,并没有大张旗鼓。 „Colin, these slaves in your territory before me saw that is somewhat different.” “柯林,你领地中的那些奴隶跟我之前看到的,有些不一样。” „Where different?” “哪里不一样？” Vera is crooked the small head, looks at these to concentrate on the slaves in practical training, said: 薇拉歪着小脑袋,看着那些专注于劳作中的奴隶们,说道: „ I in the slave who Winterfell City sees, is a sluggish appearance, without the leather whip of supervising work, they even rather lies down on the ground gets a day of Sun. “我在凛冬城看到的奴隶,都是一副懒懒散散的模样,如果没有监工的皮鞭,他们甚至宁愿躺在地上晒一天的太阳。 But in your territory the slave is different, without leather whip, has the working zeal. ” 但你领地中奴隶不一样,哪怕没有皮鞭,也非常有干劲。” „You know that what reason this is?” “你知道这是什么原因么？” Vera hesitated the moment, shakes the head , indicating oneself do not think clearly. 薇拉沉吟了片刻,还是摇了摇头,表示自己想不明白。 „Because I gave them to hope.” “因为我给了他们希望。” „Hope?” “希望？” „Yes.” Colin told in the points-based system in Ice Rock City executing. “是的。”柯林将自己在冰岩城中施行的积分制度讲述了一遍。 Vera thinks, the nod said: „Truly is very good means! However, Colin, as the matter stands, you were not worried are own slave hand/subordinate getting fewer and fewer?” 薇拉想了想,点头道:“确实是个很棒的办法！不过,柯林,这样一来,你难道不担心自己手下的奴隶越来越少吗？” „ Every month ten quotas, one year also produce 120 freemen, even 100 years later, still more than 10,000 slaves have the qualifications to become the freeman. “每月十个的名额,一年也才产生120个自由民,就算一百年后,也才一万多名奴隶有资格成为自由民而已。 The wealth that but in this process, the slaves create has gone far beyond more than 10,000 slave's values. 但这个过程中,奴隶们创造的财富已经远远超过了这一万多名奴隶本身的价值。 Let alone, under the situation of northern boundary, am I also worried to lack the slave now? ” 更何况,现在北境的局势下,我难道还担心缺少奴隶吗？” Vera thinks carefully, the approval nod said: „Colin, you are one benevolent and feudal lord of wisdom!” 薇拉仔细想了想,认同地点头道:“柯林,你是一位仁慈且智慧的领主！” Colin laughs, suddenly in the heart somewhat sighs woefully. 柯林哈哈大笑,忽然心中有些哀叹。 Such exploitation method, can be called benevolent unexpectedly, suddenly, he does not know unexpectedly is this/should happy, should sigh woefully. 这样的剥削手段,竟然还能被称为仁慈,一时间,他竟不知道是该高兴,还是该哀叹。 After having strolled several blocks, one group of children brought to Vera's attention. 逛过几个街区后,一群小孩子引起了薇拉的注意。 In an open area of basketball court size, the age seems like about 50 -year-old gentlemen, in his front, gathered several hundred children. 在一个篮球场大小的空地上,有一位年纪看起来五十岁左右的老绅士,在他的面前,聚集了几百名小孩。 Big has 13 or 14-year-old, the small 4 or 5-year-old, only common ground is on them wears the worn-out clothes, on the foot is also wrapping iron hoop- this is one group of slave children. 大的有十三四岁,小的只有四五岁,唯一的共同点就是他们身上都穿着破旧的衣服,脚上还套着铁环-这是一群奴隶小孩。 The old gentleman writes with the charcoal on a wall, then gets the slave children to read aloud loudly. 老绅士在一面墙上用木炭写着字,然后领着奴隶小孩们大声朗读。 „Colin, this is also you arranges?” “柯林,这也是你安排的吗？” „Right.” “没错。” Vera turns the head to look to Colin, the vision is earnest. 薇拉转头看向柯林,目光热切。 This time Colin's image in her heart becomes especially big. 此时的柯林在她心中的形象变得格外高大。 But what she does not know, Colin is only thought that these slave child physical strengths were too weak, cannot do multiple living, might as well made one come to them to eliminate illiteracy, like this waited for them to grow up, can become a more valuable labor force. 但她不知道的是,柯林只是觉得这些奴隶小孩体力太弱,干不了多重的活,还不如让人来给他们扫扫盲,这样等他们长大了,也可以成为更有价值的劳动力。 At this moment, an old sound suddenly resounds: 就在这时,一个苍老的声音突然响起: „Feudal lord Sir, regarding the status mean person, the knowledge is not a blessing, but is the curse.” “领主大人,对于身份低微的人来说,知识并非一种祝福,而是诅咒。” Colin has turned head, sees a senior pastor to stand after two people. 柯林回过头,就见一位老牧师正站在两人身后。
