After entering the lionroarfort, stewardDelindengleadsColinand his partyto a gardeninpersonally.
进入狮吼堡后,管家德林登亲自将柯林一行人带到一个庭院中。„ViscountSir, pleasetake a restslightly, after the evening banquetstarts, Iwill send peopleto informyou.”
“子爵大人,请稍作休息,等晚宴开始后,我会派人来通知您。”„Good.”
“好。”SinceJoyceis not seeingColinanxiously, Colincannotdisplayanxiously.
既然乔伊斯不急着见柯林,那柯林也不能表现出急切。However, considering that the dwarfarmywill soon pursue, isColinthissideGengjiaand others.
不过,考虑到矮人大军即将追上来,还是柯林这一方更加等不起。ButColinalsounderstands,is, thenmoremustdisplay to not be irritable, will otherwise be at a disadvantagein the followingnegotiations.
但柯林也明白,越是等不起,便越是要表现得不急不躁,不然就会在接下来的谈判中处于下风。Comes the safe/without matteridly, Colintakes off the armorsimply, bathes, changed the aristocratformal clothes.
闲来无事,柯林干脆脱掉铠甲,沐浴一番,换了身贵族礼服。By the evening, the weatherwas suddenly cloudy, at nightearliercovered the landcompared with the past.
到了傍晚,天色忽然阴沉下来,黑夜比往日里更早地笼罩了大地。Oftenhas delimitedskylightningas if the silversnakes of dance, the intermittentstartling thunderclapin the Winterfell Cityskycrack, shakes the personeardrumto pain.
不时划过天空的闪电仿佛一条条狂舞的银蛇,阵阵惊雷在凛冬城上空炸响,震得人耳膜隐隐作痛。„Thump thump thump.”
“咚咚咚。”
The under thunderclap of thunderingcovers, Colinhas almost not heard the sound that knocks on a door.
轰鸣的雷声掩盖下,柯林差点没有听到敲门的声音。Opens the door, outside seesis standing a youngmaidservant, invitedColinto goto feastrespectfully.
打开房门,就见外面站着一位年轻的侍女,恭敬地邀请柯林前去赴宴。Colinnods, puts on the maidservantto prepare the goodraincoatwithscholarDawntogether, thensneaked in the violent storm.
柯林点了点头,与道恩学士一起披上侍女准备好的雨衣,便一头钻进了狂风暴雨之中。Thisrainstormmakes the guests who attend the banquetslightlysomewhatdistressed, but, the banquet hall in Lordfortis still extremely busy, the intermittenthappy talks and laughterspass onfar away, the startling thunderclapare not even ableto cover.
这场暴雨让参加宴会的宾客们都略有些狼狈,不过,主堡的宴会厅依然热闹非凡,阵阵欢声笑语传得老远,连惊雷也无法掩盖。Casts off the water dropconveniently the raincoat, gavenearbyaide, Colinput in order the clothing, stepped on the banquet hallheavy/thickwoolrugwith stride, the softcomfortabletouchmadeColinhave the feeling of strollingclouds.
顺手摘掉滴水的雨衣,交给一旁的侍从,柯林整了整衣衫,大步踏上了宴会厅厚重的羊毛地毯,绵软舒适的触感让柯林有种漫步云端的感觉。In the banquet hall, sevencrystal chandeliershangon the ceiling, regarding a centraldiameterwidethree-metercrystalelectrolier lamp, ininsideflamingcombustion any corner of candlelightilluminateshalljust like the daytime.
宴会大厅内,七盏水晶吊灯挂在天花板上,围绕着中心的一个直径宽达三米的水晶大吊灯,里面熊熊燃烧的烛火将厅内的任何一个角落都照得恍如白昼。On the dark-redrugonly thenamongis setting out a table of longlinearity, the tableupper berth the whiteencirclementfabric, aboveis puttingassortedfinefood and preciousred wine, sidealsosuspends the knife and fork and ceramic that dishesmanypure goldare building.
暗红色的地毯上只有正中间摆着一张长条形的桌子,桌子上铺着白色的围绒,上面放着各色精美的食物和名贵的红酒,旁边还摆着许多纯金打造的刀叉和陶瓷碗碟。
The tablewears a numerousattireto be gorgeous, the gracefulgentrywomen of quality, Colinwalk, theycast the vision that inquires into abundance, actuallyas to have a look atthisrecentlyViscountAngelie who prominencein the northernboundaryiswhatappearance.
桌边围着一众衣着华美,举止优雅的绅士贵妇们,柯林走进来的时候,他们纷纷投来探究的目光,似乎想看看这位最近在北境声名鹊起的安格列子爵究竟是什么模样。Colinhas not cared about the peoplecuriousvision, howeverarrives by the tableleisurely, a dimplesuch as the flowermaidservanthands over the tablewareintimately, theninquired that in a soft voiceColinwantsanything.
柯林没有在意众人好奇的目光,施施然走到餐桌旁,一位笑靥如花的侍女贴心地递来餐具,然后轻声询问柯林想要什么。Colintakes a fast look aroundon the table, had not seen that deerXuejiu- thistype of vulgarthingwill certainly not appearon the officialbanquettable.
柯林在桌上扫视一圈,没有看到鹿血酒-这种粗鄙的东西当然不会出现在正式的宴会餐桌上。
When disappointed, hethenpickedseveralpoints of dessertcasually.
失望之余,他便随便捡了几分甜点。With the CusiusWizardinterestabundantinstalledfullplate of foodtooneselfactually, stirs upvision that the surroundingaristocratsoftencastto despise.
跟过来的库休斯法师倒是兴致盎然地给自己装了满满一盘的食物,惹得周围的贵族们不时投来鄙夷的目光。Especially when theyseeCusiusWizardrobe, thatdislikealmostnot covered up.
尤其是当他们看到库休斯身上的法师袍时,那种厌恶几乎不加掩饰了。However, Cusiusas ifignorestothesevision, stilltooneselffullbigcupchampagne, startedto eat and drink extravagantlybut actually.
不过,库休斯仿佛对这些目光都熟视无睹,依然自顾自地给自己倒了满满一大杯香槟,开始大吃大喝起来。Colinhas not goneto managehim, standsin a lonelycornerat will, is eating the dessert, whilelistens toscholarDawnto introducein the hall the characterof all forms.
柯林也没去管他,随意站在一个冷清的角落,一边吃着甜点,一边听道恩学士介绍着厅中形形色色的人物。Herebasicallyis the St. Hildefamily'smember, butissomenotreallyimportantcollateral branches, Colinhearsabsent-mindedly, simply did not remember several.
这里基本都是圣希尔德家族的成员,不过都是些不甚重要的旁系,柯林听得心不在焉,根本没记住几个。Twopeople, makingColin'svisionstay the momentslightly.
只有两个人,让柯林的目光稍稍停留了片刻。OneisThomas the St. Hildeknight, the commander of Winterfell Citycitydefense force, thisUmanfamily'sarmycansmoothlyenter the city, must have the help of thisperson.
一位是托马斯・圣希尔德骑士,凛冬城城防军的指挥官,这次乌曼家族的军队能够顺利入城,肯定少不了此人的帮助。One, isNinaSt. Hilde, isCountMorisonthatSt. Hildefamily'sdaughter who wantsto get married.
还有一位,就是妮娜・圣希尔德,也就是莫里森伯爵想要迎娶的那位圣希尔德家族之女。ThisVera'solder female cousinappearanceis pretty, is sending out a gracefulnessandsolemn of ladyfrom top to bottom, settled onbyCountMorisonno wonder.
这位薇拉的堂姐容貌俏丽,浑身上下都散发着一股大家闺秀的优雅和端庄,也难怪被莫里森伯爵看中。Looks atjokegracefulNina, Colinrecalledsuddenly when that daynightsearchedMorisonfamily, instrangescene that under the bell tower in swallowtailfortsaw, secretlypondering over, were oneselfthis/shoulddestructionthismarriage affinity.
看着笑语盈盈的妮娜,柯林忽然回想起那天夜探莫里森家族时,在凤蝶堡的钟楼下看到的诡异场景,暗自琢磨着,自己是不是该破坏这段姻缘。Suchsuch as the floweredyoung girlwill thrustMorisonfamily'sfiery pit, Colinalwaysthought that somedo not endure.
将这样一位如花少女推入莫里森家族的火坑,柯林总觉得有些不忍。Moreover, preventingNinato marryintoMorisonfamily, canhave a look atMorisonfamily'sresponseisanything.
而且,阻止妮娜嫁入莫里森家族,也能看看莫里森家族的反应是什么。Iftheywere really anxious, thatexplained that perhaps the bloodpond under bell towerwithmarried the female of pastSt. Hildeto have the inevitablerelationover the years.
如果他们真的急了,那就说明钟楼下的血池恐怕跟历年来嫁过去的圣希尔德之女有着必然的联系。WhenColinis planningMorisonfamily, CountUmanwalked, followsVarla.
就在柯林算计着莫里森家族的时候,乌曼伯爵走了进来,身后跟着瓦尔拉。However, Colinactuallydiscoveredwith amazement,Varlawearsviscountformal clothesunexpectedly!
不过,柯林却惊讶地发现,瓦尔拉竟然穿着一身子爵礼服!It seems like after St. Theon Familybreaks off, CountUmanhad also been determined that mustrestore the Varlason of first wifestatus, confirmedhisright of inheritance.
看来在跟圣席恩家族决裂之后,乌曼伯爵也已经决心要恢复瓦尔拉的嫡子身份,确认他的继承权了。Thisbanquet, isintroducesVarlato the good opportunity of northernboundaryaristocratofficially.
这次宴会,也是个将瓦尔拉正式介绍给北境贵族的好机会。Seemed likefeelsColin'svision, Varlalooked atColinoneeyes, thenturns awayimmediately.
似乎是感受到了柯林的目光,瓦尔拉看了柯林一眼,然后又立刻移开视线。„Never expected thatVarlaunexpectedlyis the trueson of first wife of CountUman.”scholarDawnas ifalsosawsomeclue, the toneis quite sigh with emotion.
“没想到瓦尔拉竟然才是乌曼伯爵的真正嫡子。”道恩学士似乎也看出了一些端倪,语气颇为感慨。„Yes, thiswhocanthink.”Colinsaidwith a laugh.
“是啊,这谁能想到呢。”柯林笑呵呵地说道。WhenCountUman11introducedgentrywoman of qualitygives herself the truesonunderstanding, banquet hallsuddenlypeaceful.
就在乌曼伯爵一一介绍诸位绅士贵妇给自己真正的儿子认识的时候,宴会大厅忽然安静了下来。Colinis having doubts, sees the hallentranceto walk the woman who selectshigh.
柯林正疑惑间,就见厅门口走进来一个高挑的女人。Maroonbeautiful hairsuch assilk fabricsgenerallysoftlyhoweverbright and beautiful, hangs loosein the thinfairshoulder, an oval facedistinct contour, althoughhas not put on make-up, but the perfectfacial featuresare joined tolike the milksnow whiteflesh, appearssimple and beautifulrefined.
一头栗色秀发如绸缎一般柔然亮丽,披散在瘦削白皙的肩头,一张瓜子脸轮廓分明,虽然没有化妆,但完美的五官配上如牛奶般雪白的肌肤,更显得清丽脱俗。Shehas a pair of sexy look, around the eye the naturalpowderdizzy, the eyetailcurls upwards, even ifhas not smiledobviously, brings the charmingbright-coloredhappy expression, the lookis blurred, makingonewallow.
只是她有着一双桃花眼,眼睛四周略带天然的粉晕,眼尾微翘,哪怕明明没有笑,也自带妩媚明艳的笑意,眼神迷离,令人沉迷。Herwhole bodycoversin the loosepastorrobe, only theninwalk, will expose the exquisitebodycurveoccasionally, standing tall and erectchestpu, slenderwaist, clearabundanttun, slenderboth legs, partly visible, making one think.
她的全身都笼罩在宽松的牧师袍中,只有在行走的时候,才会偶尔展露出玲珑的身体曲线,高耸的胸pu,纤细的腰肢,圆润的丰tun,还有修长的双腿,若隐若现,引人浮想联翩。Buthermanneralso is extremely devout, the whole bodyis sending out the holybrilliance, bringsimposinginviolablemakings, just like bittermember in a church.
但她的神态却又极度虔诚,浑身都散发着圣洁的光辉,自带一种凛然不可侵犯的气质,俨然就是一位教会中的苦修士。
The seduction of sycophancyas if made by Heaven, withstopped the watertranquilly the holiness, twomutualcontradictoryspecial characteristicsalsoappearedon the body of thisfemalepastor, mix together a personheart and soul the charm, suddenlymadein the peoplehearton the sceneturn the intermittentmighty wavesunexpectedly.
媚骨天成的诱惑,和宁静止水的圣洁,两种相互矛盾的特质在这个女牧师的身上同时出现,杂糅成一种荡人心魄的魅力,一时间竟让在场的众人都不禁心中翻起阵阵波澜。„Who is she?”Colinswallows the salivaquietly, askedtoscholarDawn.
“她是谁?”柯林悄悄咽了咽口水,向道恩学士问道。„NewbigBishop of northernboundary- PastorAgani.” The voice of scholarDawnsomewhatis slightly hoarse, seemed also vibratedbyAgani'sbeautiful appearance.
“北境的新任大主教-阿佳妮牧师。”道恩学士的声音略有些沙哑,似乎也被阿佳妮的美貌所震动。„SuchyoungbigBishop?” A Colinfacedoes not dareto believelookstoscholarDawn.
“这么年轻的大主教?”柯林一脸不敢置信地看向道恩学士。
The duty of bigBishopis responsible for the entirenorthboundarychurch parish, howthiswomanseesalso20over.
要知道,大主教之职可是负责整个北境教区的,这个女人怎么看也不过二十出头吧。Although the age and abilityare not necessarily proportional, butin a perfectsystem, canoccupyatsuchagesotop, was too shocking.
虽然年纪和能力未必成正比,但在一个完善的体系内,能够以这样的年纪占据如此高位,也太让人震惊了。scholarDawnearnestnod, hints itselfnot to make a mistake: „ It is saidthisbigBishopis24, butwas actually thought highly by the Popecrownunderdeeply, the promotionspeedquickmadeonestare dumbfoundedsimply.
道恩学士认真的点了点头,示意自己没有弄错:“据说这位大主教年方二十四,但却深受教皇冕下器重,晋升速度之快简直令人瞠目结舌。These days the northernboundarysituationis blustery, the church is also fiercein the personnel changes of northernboundary, thisAganibigBishop was justtook officeat the beginning of this year. ”
这段时间北境局势风起云涌,教会在北境的人事变动也同样剧烈,这位阿佳妮大主教便是今年年初才刚刚上任的。”Colinlookmoves slightly, as ifunderstoodanything: „Therefore, thiswomanshouldsupportsJoyce?”
柯林神色微动,似乎明白了什么:“所以,这个女人应该是支持乔伊斯的喽?”„Should.”
“应该是的。”Whenwas tellingscholarDawnEight Trigrams (gossip), Colindiscoveredstartled,thisAganibigBishopwalksunexpectedlydirectlyinowndirection.
在跟道恩学士说着八卦的时候,柯林愕然发现,这位阿佳妮大主教竟然径直朝着自己的方向走来。„Good evening, ViscountAngelie!”
“晚上好,安格列子爵!”
The beautifulfemalepastorarrives around Colin, bendsbody a ritual, smileslater.
美丽的女牧师来到柯林跟前,屈身一礼,随后嫣然一笑。In an instant, just like the peacockto spread the tail, the canna flowerputs, the entirebanquet hallthereforebecomesbright.
刹那间,犹如孔雀开屏,昙花盛放,整个宴会大厅都因此而变得明亮起来。
The manheartbeaton the sceneacceleratesall, has a parched mouth, wishes one couldto replaceColin, standsinthisbigBishopfront.
在场的男人无不心跳加速,口干舌燥,恨不得取代柯林,站在这位大主教的面前。Butquick, Aganirestrained the smile, restoredoriginallythattypefaint and expression of feel alienated, as ifarrives at the angel of the world of mortals, is overlookingownfollower.
但很快,阿佳妮就收敛了笑容,恢复了原先那种淡漠而疏离的表情,仿佛降临凡间的天使,俯视着自己的信徒。„Good evening, AganibigBishop!”
“晚上好,阿佳妮大主教!”Colintoneis greetinglightly, in the heartactuallyraises the infinitevigilance.
柯林语气平淡地打着招呼,心中却升起无限的警惕。
This womanas ifpoppy flower, was full of the fatalseductionbeautifully, if not careful, perhapswas possibly dragged into the endlessabyssbyhermomentarily.
这个女人妖艳地仿佛一朵罂粟花,充满了致命的诱惑,若是一个不小心,恐怕随时可能被她拉入无尽深渊。No wonderbecomesbigBishopyoung, is truly fierce!
难怪年纪轻轻就成为大主教,确实厉害!„Iheard, you are a benevolentfeudal lord, not onlyprovidesfoodin the famineseasonfor the slaves, but alsosends peopleto give the slave the childto attend class.”Agani'svoiceclearlyandlazy, seems the young girl who the summerjustawokein the afternoonis acting like a spoiled bratto the sweetheart.
“我听说,您是一位仁慈的领主,不仅在饥荒时节为奴隶们提供食物,还派人给奴隶小孩上课。”阿佳妮的声音清脆而略带一丝慵懒,仿佛是夏日午后刚睡醒的少女在向情人撒娇。
After Colinvisionmoves, reallydiscoveredinAganibehindBishop Emeritusform, thesethingsobviouslywerethisonceIce Rock CityBishop, presentWinterfell CityBishoptellsAgani.
柯林目光后移,果然在阿佳妮身后发现了荣休主教的身影,这些东西显然是这位曾经的冰岩城主教,如今的凛冬城主教告诉阿佳妮的。„BigBishopyouoverpraised, theseareIas the Ice Rock Cityfeudal lordshouldresponsibilitycompletely.”
“大主教您过奖了,这些不过是我身为冰岩城领主应尽的责任罢了。”Aganijustwantsto starttalking, sees the hallentranceto walk a smallformagain.
阿佳妮刚想开口说话,就见厅门口再次走进来一个小小的身影。Butisthissmallform, makesaristocraton the scenebowto salute.
但就是这个小小的身影,却让在场的诸位贵族纷纷躬身行礼。Obviously, thisis the lionroarfortnownominal„master”- JoyceSt. Hilde.
显然,这是狮吼堡如今名义上的“主人”-乔伊斯・圣希尔德到了。Colinalsoputs down the dinner plate in handhastily, the master who totoday'sbanquetbowsto salute.
柯林也连忙放下手中的餐盘,向今天宴会的主人躬身行礼。Simultaneously the corner of the eyeshoots a look atto the wall clock on wall- thislittle fellow, was unexpectedly late.
同时眼角瞥向墙上的挂钟-这个小家伙,竟然迟到了。Alsodoes not know that isintentionally, is......
也不知道是故意的,还是……„ViscountAngelie!”
“安格列子爵!”WhenColinunstated criticism, actuallyhearsJoyceto be calledownnamesecretly.
就在柯林暗自腹诽的时候,竟然听到乔伊斯在叫自己的名字。„Young MasterJoyce!”Colinleaves rankshastily, inheartsomedoubts.
“乔伊斯少爷!”柯林连忙出列,心中有些疑惑。Joyce the chin, is getting angry the sound said: „Youreallywent too far!”
乔伊斯昂着下巴,怒声道:“你实在太过分了!”

柯林顿时心中一凛。Un?

上来就这么刺激么?
