Winterfell City, the city gate shuts tightly. 凛冬城,城门紧闭。 Outside the city the gold/metal lion regiment array waits, orderly. 城外金狮军团列阵以待,秩序井然。 Before the array, Colin is listening to the report of envoy Yin, the complexion clear uncertain. 阵列前,柯林听着使者的汇报,脸色阴晴不定。 „ Viscount Sir, Miss Vera, in the city conveyed a message saying that because the situation is not steady presently, the rebel army rose from all directions, to assure the Winterfell City security, cannot open the city gate to make gold/metal lion regiment temporarily enter. “子爵大人,薇拉小姐,城内传话说,由于当前局势不稳,叛军四起,为保证凛冬城的安全,暂时不能打开城门让金狮军团进入。 However, Young Master Joyce said, you and wife can enter the city , the carried guard can not over hundred people. ” 不过,乔伊斯少爷说,您与夫人可以入城,并且,携带的侍卫不得超过百人。” „Ha, is really the huge joke! When the gold/metal lion regiment cannot enter Winterfell City unexpectedly!” “哈哈哈,真是天大的笑话！什么时候金狮军团竟然不能进入凛冬城了！” The envoys are listening to Colin's ridicule, suddenly lowers the head does not speak slow. 使者听着柯林的讥讽,一时间低头呐呐不语。 Colin has not felt embarrassed him, he is conveys a message, now the situation in city has been controlled by Count Uman obviously. 柯林也没有为难他,他不过是个传话的,现在城内的局势显然已经被乌曼伯爵控制了。 Walks all the way, they also discovered marching trace that the army stays behind, at that time Colin then guessed correctly this is the Uman family's army, but has not thought that they so easily controlled Winterfell City unexpectedly. 一路上走来,他们也发现了大军留下的行军痕迹,当时柯林便猜到这是乌曼家族的军队,只是没想到他们居然如此轻易地就掌控了凛冬城。 In the city definitely some people coordinate him! 城内肯定有人配合他！ „Who is the Winterfell City city defense force commander?” Colin looked that asked to scholar Dawn. “凛冬城的城防军指挥官是谁？”柯林看向身旁的道恩学士问道。 „Is Thomas St. Hilde knight.” scholar Dawn as if saw Colin thinks, after sending out a name, shakes the head to say immediately, „the Thomas knight should not have deviation, Count Uman can control Winterfell City quickly, should obtain the help of others.” “是托马斯・圣希尔德骑士。”道恩学士似乎看出了柯林所想,报出一个名字后又立刻摇头道,“托马斯骑士应该没有偏向性,乌曼伯爵能够这么快掌控凛冬城,应该是得到了其他人的帮助。” „Who can also help him?” “还有谁能帮他？” scholar Dawn thinks, said: „Should be St. Hilde family's stewards- Delindeng.” 道恩学士想了想,道:“应该是圣希尔德家族的管家-德林登。” „Steward?” Colin frowns, remembers himself once that to put on the old-fashioned, serious in speech and manner senior steward in Vera adult ceremony has seen, „why can he be partial to Joyce? Before Duke St. Hilde walks, what gave him to order?” “管家？”柯林皱起了眉头,想起了自己曾经在薇拉成人礼上见过的那位穿着古板,不苟言笑的老管家,“他为什么会偏向乔伊斯？难道圣希尔德公爵走之前给了他什么命令？” scholar Dawn shakes the head: „Does duke have confessing his anything, I am not clear. However, my speculation was he helped Count Uman, was because I know, he was a frantic believer.” 道恩学士摇了摇头:“公爵有没有给交代他什么,我不清楚。不过,我之所以猜测是他帮助了乌曼伯爵,是因为我知道,他是一位狂热的教徒。” „Believer?” Colin responded instantaneously. “教徒？”柯林瞬间反应过来。 Even if Vera once accepted adult etiquette in the church, but she has not received baptized after all, has not openly acknowledged Lord the belief to the brilliance. 哪怕薇拉曾经在教会接受了成人礼仪式,但她毕竟没有受洗,也没有公开承认过自己对光辉之主的信仰。 Therefore, in the steward Delindeng eyes, she is Wizard that blasphemes the god, a heresy! 所以,在管家德林登眼中,她还是一位渎神的法师,一位异端！ At this time, Colin realized, oneself has not always considered the attitude of church. 这时,柯林才意识到,自己一直以来都没有考虑到教会的态度。 However, this cannot blame him being inconsiderate, is not scholar Dawn has not mentioned intentionally, but in the appointment of northern boundary duke, the church did not have the right to speak. 不过,这也不能怪他考虑不周,也不是道恩学士故意没有提及,而是在北境公爵的任命上,教会本就没有发言权。 The emperor needs coronation of Pope, but the duke actually does not need. 皇帝需要教皇的加冕,但公爵却不需要。 The imperial family will not allow about the church to sealing the appointment and dismissal of feudal official. 皇室也绝不会允许教会左右自己对封臣的任免。 But obviously, the church will not really stand by, when particularly north a boundary duke such important title will soon be inherited by Wizard. 但显然,教会可不会真的就此袖手旁观,尤其是当北境公爵这样一个重要爵位即将被一位法师继承的时候。 „What good way do you currently have?” Colin asked to scholar Dawn. “你现在有什么好办法吗？”柯林对道恩学士问道。 Presently aspect, making Colin feel very thorny, the Winterfell City firm city, is like this impossible to attack in a short time, but at this time Meneux family estimate had joined forces with Dawson family, then the dwarf allied armies will pursue quickly. 当前的局面,让柯林感到非常棘手,凛冬城这样的坚城,短时间内不可能攻得下来,而此时梅纳姆家族估计已经和道森家族会师了,接下来矮人联军很快就会追过来。 If not hurry to solve the Uman family in Winterfell City, the gold/metal lion regiment must faced with the danger of being attacked front and rear. 如果不赶紧解决掉凛冬城内的乌曼家族,金狮军团就要面临腹背受敌的危险。 scholar Dawn hesitant, but looks at Colin's eyes earnestly, sinking sound said: „Miss Vera cannot enter the city!” 道恩学士犹豫了一下,但还是认真地看着柯林的眼睛,沉声道:“薇拉小姐不能入城！” Colin gawked staring, thought that scholar Dawn spoke an idle talk. 柯林愣了愣,觉得道恩学士说了一句废话。 At this time Winterfell City was controlled by Count Uman, Vera enters the words of city only to bring about own destruction. 这时候凛冬城被乌曼伯爵掌控,薇拉入城的话只会自寻死路。 But he also responds immediately, what a moment ago opposite envoy invitation is he and Vera, but scholar Dawn only said that Vera cannot enter the city. 但他立刻又反应过来,刚才对面的使者邀请的是他和薇拉,但道恩学士却只说薇拉一人不能入城。 Therefore...... 所以…… „You are suggested that I do enter the city?” “你是建议我入城？” „Yes.” scholar Dawn nods, supplemented one, „, if you permit, I will accompany you to enter the city together.” “是的。”道恩学士点了点头,又补充了一句,“如果您允许,我将陪您一同入城。” Behind is the statement, wants to tell Colin his suggestion not to harbor ulterior motives. 后面这句是表态,想告诉柯林他的这个建议并不是别有用心。 Colin had not actually worried scholar Dawn will design to frame itself intentionally, to this situation, even if scholar Dawn sold Colin, was impossible to win Joyce's true trust, that side power little while estimated that has carved up. 柯林其实也没有担心道恩学士会故意设计陷害自己,都到了这个地步了,就算道恩学士卖了柯林,也不可能赢得乔伊斯的真正信任,那边的权力这会儿估计都已经瓜分完毕了。 Moreover, has Vera and gold/metal lion regiment outside the city, how Joyce will want also some reason not Colin. 而且,有薇拉和金狮军团在城外,乔伊斯只要还有些理智就不会把柯林怎么样。 „After entering the city ?” Colin asked. “入城之后呢？”柯林问道。 scholar Dawn says immediately: „Forms an alliance!” 道恩学士立刻道:“结盟！” „Forms an alliance?” “结盟？” „Yes. If Joyce wants to sit north the throne of boundary duke, most important enemy actually St. Theon Family, under presently aspect, we can unite the opposite party, will first solve the forthcoming dwarf army, will then make other plans.” “是的。乔伊斯如果想要坐上北境公爵的宝座,首要的敌人其实还是圣席恩家族,当前的局面下,我们可以借此联合对方,先解决掉即将到来的矮人大军,再做其他打算。” Colin stroked gently the chin to consider the long time, finally the nod said: „Good, I enter a city with you!” 柯林摩挲着下巴考虑了半晌,才终于点头道:“好,我跟你进城！” Then, he then turn around toward a rear carriage walks. 说完,他便反身往后方的一辆马车走去。 Must enter a city, naturally must first comfort Vera to be good. 要进城,当然得先安抚好薇拉才行。 Enters in the carriage, Colin told to Vera plan with scholar Dawn. 进入马车中,柯林将自己跟道恩学士的打算给薇拉讲述了一遍。 Originally he thinks that Vera will definitely oppose, had prepared some excuses ahead of time, but, this time Vera, although the whole face worried that with does not abandon, has not actually rejected Colin's proposition. 本来他以为薇拉肯定会反对,都已经提前准备了一些说辞,但没想到,这次薇拉虽然满脸担忧和不舍,却没有拒绝柯林的提议。 „Good, you go. If you had/left what accident/surprise in the city, even if destroyed this Winterfell City, even if made the St. Hilde family lose the northern boundary, I will also take revenge for you!” “好,那你去吧。如果你在城内出了什么意外,哪怕毁了这座凛冬城,哪怕让圣希尔德家族丢了北境,我也会为你复仇的！” Experienced such many matters, once naive young girl gradually is also mature. 经历了这么多事,曾经的天真少女也已经渐渐成熟起来了。 Colin gives a calm smile: „Relax, currently has St. Theon this archenemy outside, the person not silly words in city, will not enrage us at this time thoroughly.” 柯林淡然一笑:“放心吧,现在有圣席恩这个大敌在外,城内的人不傻的话,就不会在这个时候彻底激怒我们。” Vera nods gently, helping Colin manage the collar of shirt, said with emotions: „Colin, you so pay for the northern boundary, how should I thank you?” 薇拉轻轻点了点头,帮柯林理了理衬衣的领子,动情道:“柯林,你为北境付出如此之多,我该怎么感谢你呢？” You become the northern boundary duke are best thanks! 你当上北境公爵就是最好的感谢！ Naturally such innermost thoughts, Colin will not say directly, that also spoiled the fun. 当然这样的心里话,柯林可不会直接说出来,那也太煞风景了。 Looks at the Vera bright and intelligent eyes, Colin chuckle, hugs into her the bosom, warm sound said: „You can marry me, is to I best thanks!” 看着薇拉水汪汪的眼睛,柯林轻笑一声,将她搂入怀中,温声道:“你能嫁给我,就是对我最好的感谢！” The reply is correct! 回答正确！ Vera smiles, stands on tiptoes the tip of the toe, delivers the burning incense kiss to the beloved man. 薇拉嫣然一笑,踮起脚尖,给心爱的男人送上香吻。 After one is attentive, Colin left the compartment. 一番温存之后,柯林才离开了车厢。 Afterward, he looks for Cambay knight, told: 随后,他又找来坎贝宁骑士,吩咐道: „ Defends outside the city, pays attention to inquire the trend of dwarf army, if the enemy approaches, holds the position on the line, easily do not accept a challenge. “守在城外,注意打探矮人大军的动向,如果敌人逼近,守住阵地就行,不要轻易应战。 Moreover, after I enter the city, meets to send people to deliver a letter every day, without receiving to notify, that was we had/left the accident/surprise in inside, how when the time comes should do, you listened to Vera's order. ” 另外,我入城之后会每天派人出来送信,若是没有接到报信,那就是我们在里面出了意外,到时候该怎么做,你就听薇拉的命令。” „Yes, viscount Sir!” “是,子爵大人！” Confessed after Cambay knight, Colin also asks to Cusius Wizard that the one side is in a daze: 交代完坎贝宁骑士后,柯林又对一旁发呆的库休斯法师问道: „Mr. Cusius, had you come Winterfell City before?” “库休斯先生,您以前来过凛冬城么？” „Has come.” Cusius nods, shakes the head, „, but has not gone to the lion roar fort.” “来过。”库休斯点了点头,又摇了摇头,“但没有去过狮吼堡。” Colin laughs, invites: „Now has a good opportunity, are you willing to accompany me to go together?” 柯林哈哈大笑,邀请道:“现在有个好机会,您愿意陪我一起去吗？” The Cusius Wizard eyeball transferred the revolutions, obviously hesitant, but nods to say finally: „This is my being honored!” 库休斯法师眼珠子转了转,明显犹豫了一下,但最后还是点头道:“这是我的荣幸！” Colin is not willing to put this enemy friend Wizard that is difficult to distinguish outside the city, side Vera what to do if he does some tricks, therefore brings to enter the city is quite good together. 柯林可不愿放这位敌友难辨的法师在城外,万一他在薇拉身边搞出些幺蛾子怎么办,所以还是带着一起入城比较好。 Finally, Colin confessed with Knight Logh several, then led 100 own health/guard, walks toward Winterfell City. 最后,柯林又跟洛格骑士交代了几句,便领了一百名亲卫,向凛冬城走去。 In the depressed bellow, the giant steel city gate opened one only to supply a person of general small seam slowly. 沉闷的轰鸣声中,巨大的钢铁城门缓缓打开了一道仅供一人通行的小缝。 Colin laughs in spite of trying not to shakes the head, the opposite party also is really discrete. 柯林失笑地摇了摇头,对方也真是谨慎。 Tidies up the mood, he stride vanguard, took the lead to enter in the city immediately. 收拾心情,他当即大步前行,率先走进了城中。 After entering the city, the Colin's first eyes look to arrive in front Count Uman. 入城后,柯林第一眼就看到了站在前方的乌曼伯爵。 A year does not see, this Count Uman is seemingly old much, is only the back is still straight, the look is still swift and fierce, seems never willing to concede defeat the warrior. 一年不见,这位乌曼伯爵看上去苍老不少,只是腰杆依旧笔直,眼神依旧凌厉,仿佛一位永远不愿低头认输的斗士。 „Viscount Angelie, welcome to Winterfell City!” “安格列子爵,欢迎来到凛冬城！” „Count Uman, does not see for a long time!” Colin goes forward cordially to shake hand with the opposite party with a laugh, as if old friend unseen in several years has a reunion. “乌曼伯爵,好久不见！”柯林笑呵呵地上前与对方亲切握手,仿佛多年未见的老友重逢。 „Right, how to see Miss Vera?” Uman looks toward Colin behind, asked pretentiously. “对了,怎么不见薇拉小姐？”乌曼往柯林身后望了望,装模作样地问道。 „Her body has the sickness unable to come, was sorry.” Colin spoke thoughtlessly to make up an excuse, then the shift topic said, „Count Sir, I had a gift on first meeting to give to you.” “她身体有恙不能前来,抱歉了。”柯林随口编了个理由,然后便转移话题道,“伯爵大人,我有一份见面礼要送给您。” „?” Count Uman the look flashes, „you were really polite.” “哦？”乌曼伯爵眼神一闪,“您真是太客气了。” Colin toward beckons with a smile behind, an own health/guard of accompanying then walked, took off the helmet of wearing. 柯林笑着朝身后招了招手,一位随行的亲卫便走了上来,摘下了佩戴的头盔。 After Count Uman sees clearly the facial features of opposite party, has a big shock instantaneously, the tone somewhat shivers: „Tile...... Varla?” 等乌曼伯爵看清对方的面容后,瞬间大惊失色,语气都有些颤抖:“瓦……瓦尔拉？” „Father.” Varla raised the head, is completely exposed by the profile that the raging fire ignition must change beyond all recognition by oneself under the sunlight. “父亲。”瓦尔拉抬起头来,让自己被烈火灼烧得面目全非的半边脸彻底暴露在阳光下。 Looks at the face of this distortion, Count Uman cannot suppress the whole body to shiver, the hatred vision that in the eye shines through as if made the surrounding temperature drop more than ten degrees. 看着这张扭曲的脸,乌曼伯爵抑制不住地全身颤抖起来,眼中透射出来的仇恨目光似乎让周围的温度都下降了十几度。 He goes forward gradually, own „illegitimate child” hugs in the bosom, the sinking sound said: „Relax, your enmity, Uman family's enmity, the enmity of Eagle Descent City 300,000 people, my certain bulletin!” 他缓步上前,一把将自己的“私生子”抱在怀里,沉声道:“放心,你的仇,乌曼家族的仇,坠鹰城三十万子民的仇,我一定会报！” Colin looks the warm scene that with a laugh front father and son have a reunion, teased: „Count Uman, this gift on first meeting can you also satisfy?” 柯林笑呵呵地看着面前的这个父子重逢的温馨场景,调侃道:“乌曼伯爵,这份见面礼您可还满意？” Count Uman then lets loose Varla, then looks at Colin, said seriously: „Viscount Angelie, your good intention, I will certainly have the return in the future!” 乌曼伯爵这才放开瓦尔拉,回头看着柯林,郑重其事地说道:“安格列子爵,您的这份好意,我将来一定会有回报！” Colin laughs, is beckoning with the hand saying: „ Jokes with you, how the Varla knight said that is also my brother-in-law, saving him is my unshirkable responsibility. 柯林哈哈一笑,摆着手道:“跟您开玩笑的,瓦尔拉骑士怎么说也是我的姐夫,救他是我义不容辞的责任。 However, regarding the tragedy of Eagle Descent City, I also expressed deep regrets. St. Theon Family this act is really the person god altogether indignant, condemned by heaven and earth! 不过,对于坠鹰城发生的惨剧,我也深表遗憾。圣席恩家族此举实在是人神共愤,天诛地灭！ Regarding such inhuman devil, we join up by rights ought, expels the northern boundary it together! ” 对于这样灭绝人性的恶魔,我们理当联合起来,共同将其赶出北境！” Count Uman nods, as if approves Colin's opinion, but has no statement in spoken language, but made the hand signal of invitation: 乌曼伯爵点点头,似乎非常认可柯林的意见,但却没有任何言语上的表态,而是做出了邀请的手势: „Viscount Angelie, please, Young Master Joyce have waited there for some time.” “安格列子爵,请,乔伊斯少爷已经等候多时了。” „Good.” “好。” Colin great leap, the steel city gate closes up slowly, inside or outside the city will separate two world. 柯林大步前进,身后的钢铁城门缓缓合拢,将城内城外分隔成两个世界。
