Was Duke St. Hilde personally arrived at Red Fort.” “是的,大人。是圣希尔德公爵亲自来到了红堡。” The guards definitely repeated very much, then in his hearing broadcasts the sound that one is thrown into confusion intermittently. 侍卫很肯定地重复了一遍,然后他就听到里面传来一阵阵手忙脚乱的声音。 „Asked duke Sir to wait a minute, I immediately!” “请公爵大人稍候,我马上就到！” „Yes!” “是！” In the bathroom, the light Colin of buttocks is cleaning water mark hurriedly, in the brain somewhat is ignorant. 浴室中,光着屁股的柯林急匆匆地擦拭着身上的水迹,脑中还有些懵。 Duke St. Hilde arrived at Red Fort unexpectedly! 圣希尔德公爵竟然来到了红堡！ Like this sudden attack really hit Colin one to be caught off guard, this little while he also really somewhat lost presence of mind at a loss. 这样的突然袭击实在打了柯林一个措手不及,这会儿他还真有些茫然失措。 Behind the bath curtain finds out a wet small head: „Colin, how the foster father will he appear at this time in Ice Rock City?” 浴帘后面探出一个湿漉漉的小脑袋:“柯林,养父他怎么会在这个时候出现在冰岩城？” Colin shrugs, a face speechless say/way: „Does not know, oh, the foresight said again.” 柯林耸了耸肩,一脸无语道:“不知道,唉,先见了再说吧。” Vera's small face is ruddy, as if the water temperature is somewhat high, as if experienced any fierce movement a moment ago...... 薇拉的小脸红扑扑的,似乎水温有些高,又似乎刚才经历了什么剧烈的运动…… She said low voice: „Do I...... need to see him?” 她小声地说道:“那我……需要去见他吗？” „He should know you in Ice Rock City, but does not see tonight is also all right, I said that you have gone to sleep.” “他应该知道你在冰岩城了,但今晚不见也没事,我就说你已经睡下了。” „Good.” Vera has not prepared for seeing foster father obviously, hears word feels relieved immediately, the small head shrank. “好。”薇拉显然也没有做好见自己养父的准备,闻言顿时如释重负,小脑袋又缩了回去。 When Colin puts on the clothes preparation to go out, she pokes head in again, urges: „Colin, you are careful.” 等到柯林穿好衣服准备出门,她又再次探出头来,叮嘱道:“柯林,你要小心。” Colin turns head, gave her a relieved smile: „Relax, he after all is north the boundary duke, but I just cut to kill the Troll Emperor big hero now, can he also I how?” 柯林回过头来,给了她一个安心的微笑:“放心吧,他毕竟是北境公爵,而我现在可是刚刚斩杀了巨魔皇帝的大英雄,难道他还能把我怎么样啊？” Vera nods, gazes after Colin to depart. 薇拉点点头,目送柯林离去。 Goes out, the smile on Colin face restrains instantaneously, deeply after inspiring, walks toward the reception room stride. 出了门,柯林脸上的笑容瞬间收敛,深吸一口气后,向着会客厅大步走去。 ...... …… Across the dark corridor, Colin saw scholar Dawn in the reception room entrance. 穿过幽暗的长廊,柯林在会客厅门口看到了道恩学士。 Colin had once seen one side this person in Vera's adult ceremony, knows that he is the brain truster that Duke St. Hilde most has a high opinion. 柯林曾在薇拉的成人礼上见过此人一面,知道他是圣希尔德公爵最为倚重的智囊。 „scholar Dawn, how don't you go to sit?” “道恩学士,您怎么不进去坐坐？” „Viscount Sir, the duke wants to chat with you alone, please.” “子爵大人,公爵想跟您单独谈谈,请。” „Good.” Colin smiles toward Dawn, later tidies up the mood, pushes the door to enter. “好。”柯林朝道恩笑了笑,随后收拾心情,推门而入。 In the reception room, Duke St. Hilde crosses the hands behind the back to stand, on the face has the genial smile, gazes at Colin who is walking. 会客厅中,圣希尔德公爵负手而立,脸上带着和善的微笑,注视着走进来的柯林。 For a long time does not see, stomach intestinal fat that north this boundary duke still that middle-aged uncle's appearance, the perfectly round face, protrudes, that thick with the hair is linked to each other full beard, seemingly does not have the threat and human and animals to be harmless. 许久不见,这位北境公爵依然还是那副中年大叔的模样,浑圆的脸庞,凸出的肚腩,还有那浓密的跟头发连在一起的络腮胡子,看上去似乎毫无威胁、人畜无害。 But Colin does not dare to treat it lightly. 但柯林可不敢掉以轻心。 North this boundary the Lord method he has asked for advice, recalled that makes the will of the people bottom send coldly. 这位北境之主的手段他可是领教过的,回想起来都让人心底发寒。 Let alone, this is a Saint knight! 更何况,这还是一位圣骑士啊！ Even if injured, wants to pinch dead Colin to estimate that still with pinching an ant is similar. 就算受了伤,想要捏死柯林估计也就跟捏死一只蚂蚁差不多。 Colin walks quickly several steps, arrives in front of Duke St. Hilde, bows to salute, said: 柯林快走几步,来到圣希尔德公爵面前,躬身行礼,道: „Duke Sir, your honorable self visits Red Fort, is really makes me feel extremely flattered! If there is anything to entertain place inconsiderately, but also looks at you to forgive much.” “公爵大人,您大驾光临红堡,实在是让我受宠若惊！如果有什么招待不周的地方,还望您多多包涵。” Duke St. Hilde approaches with a laugh several steps, then suddenly put out a hand to pull out the saber of Colin waist. 圣希尔德公爵笑呵呵地走近几步,然后突然伸手抽出了柯林腰间的佩剑。 Choking- 呛- Blade of Judgement to the sheath, is exuding the dazzling cold light under shine of light. 审判之刃离鞘而出,在灯光的映照下泛着刺眼的寒光。 Colin heart mentioned the throat, but the body is motionless. 柯林心都提到了嗓子眼,但身体却一动不动。 „Was contaminated a blood of Troll Emperor, haha, this as if became the sword sharper.” Duke St. Hilde is holding appreciatively the knight sword in hand, is saying with a smile. “又浸染了一位巨魔皇帝的鲜血,哈哈,这把剑似乎变得更锋利了一些啊。”圣希尔德公爵把玩着手中的骑士剑,笑着道。 Colin said immediately loudly: „Duke Sir, everything has evil, cannot escape the just trial!” 柯林当即大声道:“公爵大人,凡是心存邪恶者,都逃不过正义的审判！” „Ha!” Duke St. Hilde smiled gives birth for the first time. “哈哈哈！”圣希尔德公爵笑得更加开怀了。 , He seriously to wood-road: 顿了顿,他又郑重其事地对柯林道: „Very good, you truly can be joined to this Blade of Judgement ! However, you must keep firmly in mind, although the sword is sharp, but the person of wielding a sword is more important. I do not hope one day, looks that you take it to cut to the head of person of justice.” “很好,你确实配得上这把审判之刃！但是,你要牢记,剑虽锋利,但挥剑之人更加重要。我不希望有一天,看着你拿着它斩向正义之人的头颅。” Colin listened certainly to Duke St. Hilde the implication , the hurrying table was loyal: „Duke Sir you please feel relieved! Your will, is my sword refers to!” 柯林当然听出了圣希尔德公爵的言外之意,赶紧表忠心:“公爵大人您请放心！您的意志所向,即是我剑之所指！” Duke St. Hilde nods satisfied, puts Blade of Judgement in Colin shoulder. 圣希尔德公爵满意地点点头,将审判之刃搁在柯林肩头。 Feels is being away from the neck, only then several centimeters away sharp blade, Colin swallows the saliva quietly, thought- 感受着距离自己脖子只有几厘米之遥的利刃,柯林悄悄咽了咽口水,心想- Should do not promote the title to me? 该不会又要给我晋升爵位了吧？ Military exploit that although this time in expediting the process of Troll empire establishes by Colin, rising a Count is not excessive. 虽然以柯林这次在远征巨魔帝国的过程中立下的军功,升个伯爵也不算过分。 But as the matter stands, the Angelie family's promotion speed rather was also too fast. 但这样一来,安格列家族的晋升速度也未免太快了。 Within two years, crawl the Count from the Baron, perhaps this must set the record of brilliance empire title promotion. 两年之内,就从男爵爬到伯爵,这恐怕要创下光辉帝国爵位晋升的记录了。 When Colin is hesitating wants single knee to kneel down, Duke St. Hilde opens the mouth: 就在柯林犹豫着要不要单膝下跪的时候,圣希尔德公爵开口了: „Colin, by your establishing merit, I can confer your earlship.” “柯林,本来以你这次立下的功劳,我是可以册封你一个伯爵爵位的。” Hears here, Colin understands, oneself should not need to kneel, therefore then bows slightly, the patience is waiting for Duke St. Hilde „, but”. 听到这里,柯林就明白,自己应该不用跪了,于是便微微躬身,耐心等待着圣希尔德公爵的“但是”。 „But, northern within the boundaries has not put down randomly, even if I give your new territory, you are unable to take over. Therefore, conferred rank and title matter, after waiting to put down a rebellion to finish, said.” “但是,北境内乱未平,我就算给你新的领地,你也无法接手。所以,册封的事情,还是等平叛结束之后再说吧。” „Yes, duke Sir.” Facing the pictures of cakes of duke, Colin also can only , helpless swallows. “是,公爵大人。”面对公爵的画饼,柯林也只能无奈吞下。 Duke St. Hilde Blade of Judgement in hand still has not left Colin's shoulder , to continue saying: „You do not need to think that I am perfunctory you, actually your new fiefdom I have idea- is Eagle Descent City!” 圣希尔德公爵手中的审判之刃依然没有离开柯林的肩头,继续道:“你也不用觉得我是在敷衍你,其实你的新封地我也已经有了想法-就是坠鹰城！” Colin blinks, innermost feelings unstated criticism- 柯林眨了眨眼,内心腹诽- This is prepares to encourage me to help you handle Count Uman. 这是准备鼓动我去帮你搞定乌曼伯爵啊。 But even if knew perfectly well that Duke St. Hilde this is ejecting the bait intentionally, Colin still can only make a grateful appearance: „Thank the gracious gift of duke Sir!” 但即便明知圣希尔德公爵这是在故意抛出诱饵,柯林也只能做出一副感激涕零的模样:“感谢公爵大人的恩赐！” „Un.” Duke St. Hilde then takes back Blade of Judgement , inserts in the scabbard, „, but, this time you make the great merit, if I to seal/confer bestows do not have, cannot truly be justified. “恩。”圣希尔德公爵这才收回审判之刃,重新插入剑鞘之中,“不过,这次你立下大功,我如果一点封赏都没有,也确实说不过去。 Like this, you have not wanted to get married Vera, I betroth her now to you. ” 这样吧,你不是一直想要迎娶薇拉的嘛,我现在就将她许配给你。” Colin two eyes one bright, finally said sincerely: „Thank the kindness of duke Sir! I swore in this, will certainly exhaust ability to protect Vera life!” 柯林两眼一亮,终于诚心诚意地说道:“感谢公爵大人的恩典！我在此立誓,必将竭尽所能守护薇拉一生！” „Good. Now the northern boundary situation is not steady, you get married as soon as possible, decided after 5 th, I will preside over the wedding for you.” “好。现在北境局势不稳,你们尽快完婚,就定在五日之后吧,我会为你们主持婚礼。” „Five days?” Colin gawked staring, never expected that the duke worries. “五日？”柯林愣了愣,没想到公爵这么着急。 „What's wrong? Arranges without enough time?” “怎么？来不及筹备？” „Is somewhat hasty, but, I make the steward start to get ready immediately.” Colin knows the duke, since proposed in five days gets married, will not give the opportunity that he opposes. “是有些仓促,不过,我立刻让管家开始准备。”柯林知道公爵既然提出了五日内完婚,就不会给他反对的机会。 Actually, he himself also thought that will soon get married is better, so as to avoid a long delay usually means many problems, moreover his man, regarding scene form anything of wedding, actually does not regard as important. 其实,他自己也觉得早日完婚更好,免得夜长梦多,而且他一个男人,对于婚礼的场面形式什么的,其实并不太看重。 „Very good.” Duke St. Hilde patted the racket in Colin shoulder, the tone was also more intimate, „after the wedding, our father and son-in-law collaborate, these clumsy mischief-doer sweep traces.” “很好。”圣希尔德公爵在柯林肩头拍了拍,语气也亲热了许多,“大婚之后,我们翁婿联手,将那些跳梁小丑都收拾干净。” „Yes, duke Sir!” Colin can only the nod name be, the innermost feelings soon will actually become father-in-law's duke is still vigilant to this. “是,公爵大人！”柯林只能点头称是,内心却对这位即将成为自己老丈人的公爵依然警惕。 This little while he also calculates to taste, this time Duke St. Hilde comes Ice Rock City personally, should want to tie up his chariot the Angelie family thoroughly. 这会儿他也算回过味来,这次圣希尔德公爵亲自前来冰岩城,应该就是想彻底将安格列家族绑上他的战车。 Has saying that although this simple and crude, but keeps Colin from rejecting. 不得不说,这一手虽然简单粗暴,但却让柯林无法拒绝。 Is good also calculates a little conscience because of Duke St. Hilde, at least married Colin Vera, gave back to him to draw a pie of Count, did not calculate spatial glove white wolf. 好在圣希尔德公爵还算有点良心,至少将薇拉嫁给了柯林,还给他画了一个伯爵的大饼,也不算空手套白狼了。 Actually, from Colin interest, he does not hope that saw the St. Hilde family was expelled the northern boundary. 其实,从柯林自身利益来讲,他也不希望看到圣希尔德家族被赶出北境。 Regarding this plans deep duke, he somewhat dreaded. 只是对于这位心机深沉的公爵,他有些忌惮。 If opposite party wish makes the Angelie family go with the rebel army dead wholeheartedly to knock, oneself are profiting from another's strife at the same time, Colin stupidly will not be swindled. 如果对方一心想要让安格列家族去跟叛军死磕,自己在一边坐收渔利,那柯林可不会傻傻地上当。 „Duke Sir, Meneux family sent for Ice Rock City couple days ago, it is said that they will also dispatch troops to the northern boundary quickly.” Since has been going to board the pirate ship of Duke St. Hilde inevitably, he does not hope that saw this ship too tilts early. “公爵大人,前几天梅纳姆家族派人来过冰岩城,据说他们很快也会出兵北境。”既然已经不可避免地将要登上圣希尔德公爵的贼船,那他也不希望看到这艘船太早倾覆。 Regarding Colin's reminder, Duke St. Hilde smiles indifferently, with self-confident language gas channel/angrily said: 对于柯林的提醒,圣希尔德公爵无所谓地笑了笑,用自信满满的语气道: „Does not use the anxious these things, has me , the northern boundary could not have overturned the heavens!” “不用忧虑这些东西,有我在,北境还翻不了天！” Suddenly, the copious incomparable power and influence sends out from Duke St. Hilde, making Colin raise a lying prostrate in worship impulsion. 一时间,沛然无匹的威势从圣希尔德公爵身上散发出来,让柯林不禁升起一种顶礼膜拜的冲动。 In the sky-blue eye pupil of duke the golden light flashes, as if contains is destroying day of an eye stabbing pain that the energy of extinguishing the place, lets Colin, the tears cannot help but flowed, is unable to raise the head again looking straight ahead. 公爵的蔚蓝色的眼眸中金光闪动,仿佛蕴含着毁天灭地的能量,让柯林的眼睛一阵刺痛,眼泪不由得流了出来,再也无法抬头直视。 Colin restrains the mind hastily, lowers the head, said respectfully: 柯林连忙收敛心神,低下头去,恭敬道: „Yes!” “是！”
