Moreover, I have the means to instigate their relations with the St. Theon Family.” 圣希尔德公爵没有正面回答,而是高深莫测地说了句:“不用担心乌曼家族,那不过是个一心只想两头讨好的墙头草,而且,我有办法挑拨他们跟圣席恩家族的关系。” Colin eyeball transferred the revolutions, as if understood anything. 柯林眼珠转了转,似乎明白了什么。 „Moreover, the dwarf is our true serious hidden troubles.” Duke St. Hilde finished eating the cake, scratched the corners of the mouth with the napkin, later said by the unquestionable tone order: „After three days, I want to see your army from Ice Rock City, enters the iron furnace city.” “而且,矮人才是我们真正的心腹大患。”圣希尔德公爵吃完了蛋糕,用餐巾擦了擦嘴角,随后以不容置疑的口吻命令道:“三日后,我希望看到你的军队从冰岩城出发,进军铁炉城。” Then, does not wait for Colin to take a stand, then put out a hand to pat the racket in his shoulder, later departed floating. 说完,也不等柯林表态,便伸手在他肩头拍了拍,随后飘然离去。 The domineering of duke makes Colin very uncomfortable, but does not have the means that he may not be at all now the resistance opposite party. 公爵的强势让柯林很不舒服,但没办法,他现在可不敢当面反抗对方。 Strokes gently the chin alone, Colin was feeling suddenly, if the having no way upfront resistance, that can make Varla do a matter to come out in Eagle Descent City, thus guides the duke to change the mind? 独自摩挲着下巴,柯林忽然觉得,如果没法正面反抗,那能不能让瓦尔拉在坠鹰城搞点事出来,从而引导公爵改变主意？ During the thinking, Colin then switches over the angle of view of arranged that Blood Slave decisively in Eagle Descent City, wants to have a look at now the Eagle Descent City situation. 思索间,柯林便果断切换到安排在坠鹰城中的那位血奴的视角,想要看看现在坠鹰城的情况。 But later, he „at present” the scene has a scare. 但随后,他就被“眼前”的景象吓了一跳。 What situation? 什么情况？ Catching fire this is? 失火了这是？ Colin was instructing Blood Slave climbs up nearby roof, the eyeful looks is completely the red piece, wreaking havoc fire dragons made entire Eagle Descent City as if become the flame purgatory to be common. 柯林指示着血奴爬上附近的屋顶,满眼望去尽是通红一片,一条条肆虐的火龙让整个坠鹰城仿佛成了火焰炼狱一般。 He was scared immediately. 他顿时傻眼了。 Then how many days have not seen, how did Eagle Descent City become this appearance? 这才几天没见,坠鹰城怎么就成了这副模样？ Cannot certainly discover any useful information from the Blood Slave brain, wants to know that exactly had anything, perhaps must ask Blood Descendant Varla. 从血奴脑子里当然找不出什么有用的信息,想知道到底发生了什么,恐怕还得去问血裔瓦尔拉。 However, Blood Descendant has the self-awareness, is unable like Blood Slave, to be controlled by Colin at will. 不过,血裔都是有自我意识的,无法像血奴这样,可以被柯林随意控制。 Must find Varla. 必须找到瓦尔拉。 Under such aspect, where can Varla? 只是这样的局面下,瓦尔拉会在哪里呢？ Colin looks around, discovered that the Eagle Descent City center the position does not have the flame .
