Bang!
轰隆!Suddenlycrack the stuffythunderreverberationsky overWinterfell City, awakened the people in innumerablesleep.
突然炸响的闷雷回荡在凛冬城上空,惊醒了无数睡梦中的人们。scholarDawn who is dozing offon the churchseatalsoawakenssuddenly, heonlythought that under footfiercerocking, as if anything crashedto poundfrom the high placein the ground.
在教堂座椅上打着瞌睡的道恩学士也猛然惊醒,他只觉得脚下一阵剧烈的晃动,仿佛什么东西从高处坠落砸在了地面。„-”
“啊-”Incisivecalled out in alarmto resoundin the church, broke the melodioushymn, letscholarDawn who has not recoveredcompletelyin the heartonesuddenly.
一阵尖锐的惊叫声在教堂中响起,打断了悠扬的赞美诗,也让还未完全回过神来的道恩学士心中一突。What's the matter?
怎么回事?scholarDawnfollows the sound the directionto lookhastily,sees the churchleft-wingside hallto coverinmist and dustunexpectedly.
道恩学士连忙循着声音的方向看去,就见教堂左翼的偏殿竟然笼罩在一阵烟尘之中。„Collapsed! Collapsed!”
“塌了!塌了!”Alsoisonecalls out in alarm the sound.
又是一阵惊叫声。scholarDawnthendiscovered, the ceiling of thatside hallunexpectedlyentirecollapsed.
道恩学士这才发现,那处偏殿的天花板竟然整个塌了下来。In the churchbecameonegroupimmediatelyrandomly, variousscreams, the pitiful yellsound, the wailresoundsunceasingly, quarrelling the personis confused.
教堂中顿时乱成了一团,各种惊呼声,惨叫声,哭泣声不断响起,吵得人心烦意乱。„Peaceful! Don't be upset! Firstsaves others!” The Bishop Emeritussoundconveys, making the peoplecannot help butinnermost feelingsslightlystable.
“安静!不要慌!先救人!”荣休主教的声音传来,让众人不由得内心稍稍安定。scholarDawnhesitatesmusthelp, thensaw that defended the city garrisonsergeantsoldiersoutsideChurchgateinsanesameflushed.
道恩学士正犹豫着要不要去帮帮忙,然后就看到守在教堂门外的城防军士兵们疯了一样地冲了过来。„SirThomas! SirThomas!”
“托马斯大人!托马斯大人!”Looks the soldiers of crazyexcavationin the ruins, scholarDawnawakenssuddenly- confessionroomnotinthat side!
看着在废墟中疯狂挖掘的士兵们,道恩学士才猛然醒悟过来-告解室不就是在那边吗!
......
难道……Thinks ofhere, scholarDawnis unable to keepcalmagain, quicklyrushes over.
想到这里,道恩学士再也无法保持冷静,急忙冲了过去。Bang!
轰隆!In the thunderclap of thundering, juststopped the rainstorm that reststo irrigateagainright in the face, as ifmustsubmergeWinterfell Citythoroughlyis willingto give up.
轰鸣的雷声中,刚刚停歇了一会儿的暴雨再次劈头盖脸地浇了下来,仿佛要将凛冬城彻底淹没才肯罢休。In the church, onpeople of rescuehas soaked, theymove things out of the way the crushed stonerubblefuriously, thenfound the firstcorpse.
教堂中,救援的人们身上早就湿透了,他们奋力搬开碎石瓦砾,然后找到了第一具尸体。
It is not the Thomasknight.
不是托马斯骑士。scholarDawnrelaxes, the heartray of hope in has not extinguishedcompletely, investsinto the intenserescueduringhastilyagain.
道恩学士松了口气,心中的希望之光还未完全熄灭,连忙再次投入到紧张的救援之中。Quick, theydug outthreecorpses, with the firstsurvivor.
很快,他们就又挖出了三具尸体,和第一个幸存者。What a pity, inthisdoes not have the Thomasknight.
可惜,这里面还是没有托马斯骑士。Thomas'sownhealth/guardMenquickwas also insane, theirhandshad been delimited the dripping with bloodby the crushed stone, but still has not stopped the movement of excavation.
托马斯的亲卫们也都快疯了,他们的手都已经被碎石划得鲜血淋漓,但依然没有停下挖掘的动作。Finally, theydug outoneselfsenior official-
终于,他们挖出了自己的长官-Corpse.
的尸体。Pūpasses!
噗通!scholarDawnsitsin the wetground, intwofullisterrified.
道恩学士一屁股坐在湿漉漉的地面上,两眼中满是惶恐。„What's the matter! Why will the ceilingcollapse?”
“到底怎么回事!天花板为什么会塌下来?”Thomas'sownhealth/guardMencannotacceptthisfactobviously, is pesteringBishop Emeritusnot to live in the interrogation.
托马斯的亲卫们显然不能接受这个事实,正纠缠着荣休主教不住质问。„Perhapsis the thunder strikecreates......”
“恐怕是雷击造成的……”Thunder strike?
雷击?scholarDawnsneers, possiblysoto be how skillful?
道恩学士冷笑一声,怎么可能这么巧?Justhit the ceiling of churchside hall, was battered to deathThomasknight who is in the confession?
刚好击中了教堂偏殿的天花板,砸死了正在告解的托马斯骑士?Moreover, Thomasis a fourth-orderknight!
而且,托马斯可是一位四阶骑士!Even ifwere poundedby the giant stone, is still not necessarily able dead.
就算被巨石砸中,也未必会死。scholarDawnhas not gone to the autopsy, firsthedoes not understandthisline, next, intertwinedthesenot to have the significanceat this timeagain.
道恩学士没有去验尸,首先他不懂这一行,其次,这时候再去纠结这些已经没有意义了。Hewaslateonestep.
他还是晚了一步。Thomasdied.
托马斯死了。Then, hisplanalsodied.
那么,他的计划也就夭折了。Thinks ofhere, scholarDawncrawlshastilyfrom the ground, outside does not attend to the violent storm that howls, walkstoward the lionroarfortquick steps.
想到这里,道恩学士连忙从地上爬起来,不顾外面正在呼啸的狂风暴雨,向着狮吼堡疾步走去。
......
……Lionroarfort.
狮吼堡。Colin Stationon the corridor, looks at the rainstorm that outsideis getting bigger and bigger.
柯林站在长廊上,愣愣地望着外面越下越大的暴雨。
The delicate fragrance that Aganileaves behindas ifalsolingersinhistip of the nose, buthedoes not haveto recall the opposite partycharmingappearance, butis pondering overthata few words that sheis leaving behindfinally.
阿佳妮留下的幽香似乎还萦绕在他鼻端,但他却没有在回想对方娇媚的容颜,而是在琢磨着她最后留下的那一句话。
When said those words, Agani'smannerseemedveryself-confident, as ifColincould not have escaped fromherpalm.
说出那句话时,阿佳妮的神态显得非常自信,仿佛柯林已经逃不出她手掌心了。ThismakesinColinheartraiseslightly a anxiety.
这让柯林心中微微升起一丝不安。Time10.1pasts, inColinheartanxiousis getting more and more intense.
时间一点一点过去,柯林心中的不安越来越强烈。Moreover, scholarDawnwent is so long, actuallyalsohad no newsto pass on.
而且,道恩学士去了这么久,竟然还没有任何消息传回来。ThisalsomakesColineven morehave an ominouspremonition.
这也让柯林越发有种不祥的预感。
It is not good!
不行!Cannotwaitagain!
不能再等了!AlthoughColinstilltrustsscholarDawn, buthedoes not wantto pinallhopeson the opposite party.
虽然柯林依然信任道恩学士,但他也不想将所有的希望都寄托在对方身上。Let alone, thistimeenters the city, Colinalsohasoneselfplan, healsohas a card in a handsideCountUman.
更何况,这次入城,柯林也有自己的计划,他在乌曼伯爵身边还有一张底牌呢。Bang!
轰隆!
A lightningrips open the deepcurtain of night, the thunderacoustic shock of thunderingresults inpersonscalp tingles.
一道闪电撕开深沉的夜幕,轰鸣的雷声震得人头皮发麻。Indistinctwithin, Colinas ifhearsoutside the castleto hearsomeloud noises.
隐约间,柯林似乎听到城堡外传来些许喧闹声。At this time, hehas had no interest in pay attention totheseagain, after setting firm resolve, thendepartedwith stride.
这时候,他已经无心再去理会这些了,下定决心之后便大步离去。Bang!
轰!Wildair currentscurries abouton the corridor, as ifhad anything to crash in the curtain of rainsuddenly.
一阵狂暴的气流在长廊上乱窜,似乎有什么东西突然冲进了雨幕之中。
......
……„CountSir, justreceived the message, the side hall in brilliancechurchcollapsed, ran overmore than tenpeople. And, but alsoincluding the Thomasknight.”
“伯爵大人,刚刚收到消息,光辉教堂的偏殿塌了,压死了十几个人。其中,还包括托马斯骑士。”„Iknew.”CountUmannods, was calm, as ifhad expected that the body of Thomasknightdied.
“我知道了。”乌曼伯爵点点头,一脸平静,仿佛早已预料到托马斯骑士的身死。Puts on the coat, the dwelling that CountUmanleaves.
披上外衣,乌曼伯爵离开的住处。Justwalkedseveralsteps, sawViscountVarlato walk.
刚走几步,就见瓦尔拉子爵走了过来。„Father!”
“父亲!”„Un.”CountUmannodswith a smile, „suchlatehadn't rested?”
“恩。”乌曼伯爵笑着点了点头,“这么晚了还没睡吗?”„Tonight'sthunderclapwas too noisy, cannot fall asleep. The father is your preparesto go out?”
“今晚的雷声太吵了,睡不着。父亲您这是准备外出?”CountUmannods, immediatelysaid: „Sincecannot fall asleep, seesYoung MasterJoycewithmetogether.”乌曼伯爵点点头,随即道:“既然睡不着,就跟我一起去见乔伊斯少爷吧。”ViscountVarlagawkedstaring, saidhesitant: „Father, disturbedYoung MasterJoyce...... to be not quite goodlate?”瓦尔拉子爵愣了愣,犹豫道:“父亲,这么晚了,去打扰乔伊斯少爷……不太好吧?”CountUmansighed, helplesssaid: „Does not have the means that that side the churchhad the collapseaccidenta moment ago, the Thomasknighttragically died, wemustmakeYoung MasterJoyceknowthis matter, the commander of citydefense forcealsoneedsto appointone.”乌曼伯爵却叹息一声,无奈道:“没办法,刚才教堂那边发生了倒塌事故,托马斯骑士不幸遇难,我们必须让乔伊斯少爷知道此事,城防军的指挥官也需要重新任命一位。”„Did the Thomasknight...... die?”Varlais surprised, long timerecovers, approachesCountUmancarefully, saidin a low voice,„father, thisshouldnot be accidental?”
“托马斯骑士……遇难?”瓦尔拉一脸惊讶,半晌才回过神来,小心地凑近乌曼伯爵,低声道,“父亲,这应该不是意外吧?”CountUmansmiles, pattedson'sshoulder, has not actually given the clearanswer.乌曼伯爵神秘一笑,拍了拍儿子的肩膀,却没有给出明确的答案。At this moment, the corner of corridorsuddenlypresented a hugeform, hiswhole bodycoversin the heavy/thickbluearmor, looksgivespeople an intenseconstriction, what is strange, hisfootsteps are extremely light, as if the spiritappears there generaltowering.
就在这时,长廊的拐角处突然出现了一个巨大的身影,他全身都笼罩在厚重的蓝色铠甲中,看着就给人一种强烈的压迫感,但奇怪的是,他的脚步却极轻,仿佛幽灵一般突兀地出现在那里。CountUmanfrowns, seems likedoes not havethischaracterin the strangeSt. Hildefamilyguardsprobably.乌曼伯爵皱起了眉头,似乎是在奇怪圣希尔德家族侍卫中好像没有这一号人物啊。Suddenly, CountUmanfeels a waistsevere pain.
突然,乌曼伯爵就觉得腰间一阵剧痛。Bang!
嘭!
A footsneak attackwill trampleto fly, butCountUmanon the faceactuallyfullispuzzledandastonished.
一脚将偷袭者踹飞出去,但乌曼伯爵脸上却满是不解和惊愕。„Varla...... why?”
“瓦尔拉……为什么?”CountUman the whole bodysuppressesto shiverfreely, butactuallynotoninjurybecause ofbody, because inhearthugerpain.乌曼伯爵浑身抑制不住地颤抖起来,但却不是因为身体上的伤势,而是因为心中更巨大的痛苦。Hethinks himselfclearly, whyis assassinatedone after another, moreoverperson who assassination, was trustedbyhim.
他想不明白,为什么自己接连被刺杀,而且刺杀者,都是被他信任的人。Lawrence, Penny, Cynthia, biologicalsonVarlamustkillhimnow!
劳伦斯、潘妮、辛西娅,现在就连亲儿子瓦尔拉都要杀他!Suddenly, CountUmanhas a being deserted by friends and alliesfeeling, as ifthisworldmustwithhimfor the enemy.
一时间,乌曼伯爵有种众叛亲离的感觉,仿佛这个世界都要与他为敌。Buthecalms downquickly, evenhas guessed correctlysecretinstigation of thisassassination.
但他很快冷静下来,甚至都已经猜到了这次刺杀的幕后主使。VarlaisColingiveshim„gift on first meeting”, obviously, thisassassinationmost likely (80%)areColinpulls strings.瓦尔拉是柯林送给他的“见面礼”,显然,这次的刺杀八成是柯林指使的。HowCountUmancannot think throughColinto urgeVarlato killoneselffather, buthehas a being caught in one's own trapfeeling.乌曼伯爵想不通柯林到底是如何驱使瓦尔拉来杀自己的亲生父亲的,但他却有种作茧自缚的感觉。Perhaps, this„gift on first meeting”similarly is also one„returning a courtesy”.
或许,这份“见面礼”同样也是一份“回礼”吧。
A year ago, CountUmanincitesCarterknightto assassinateColinin the greyfort, oneyearlater, ColinurgesVarlato assassinateCountUmanin the lionroarfort.
一年前,乌曼伯爵指使卡特骑士在灰堡刺杀柯林,一年后,柯林驱使着瓦尔拉在狮吼堡刺杀乌曼伯爵。This, perhapsis the destiny.
这,或许就是命运。Varlaputs outextravasated bloodslowly, the counter-attack of CountUman was quite a moment ago swift and fierce, stroked a bulkhischest cavityhollowly, but the look on hisfacedid not haveslightstartled, butdoes not have anyregret, had, was only the hatred of thoroughmarrow.瓦尔拉缓缓吐出一口淤血,刚才乌曼伯爵的反击相当凌厉,将他的胸腔都击打地凹陷了一大块,但他的脸上的神色却没有丝毫的惊慌,而没有任何后悔,有的,只是深入骨髓的恨意。„Becauseyoudamn!” The Varlaappearanceis fierce, exclaimedlowly, „youfor the one's own selfish interests, did not hesitateto let a wolf into the fold! Mother'smorningdies, myfirst half of lifepain, northernboundarychaotic situations, the Eagle Descent City300,000innocentlives, aredo obeisanceyouto bestow!”
“因为你该死!”瓦尔拉面目狰狞,低吼道,“你为了一己之私,不惜引狼入室!母亲的早死,我前半生的痛苦,北境一次次的乱局,还有坠鹰城三十万无辜的生命,都是拜你所赐!”CountUmanwas shocked, hewantsto dispute, the discoveryfacing the betrayal of oneselfbiological son, whatargument seems pale and weak.乌曼伯爵愣住了,他想要辩驳,却发现面对自己亲生儿子的背叛,似乎什么样的辩解都已经苍白无力了。All sorts ofplots of pastcursoryflashed throughinhisbrainfast, a regretappearedquietly, butis restrained by forceimmediatelybyCountUman.
往日的种种阴谋在他脑中浮光掠影般地快速闪过,一丝后悔悄然浮现,但又立刻被乌曼伯爵强压下去。Hiscomplexionagainbecomesfirm.
他的脸色再次变得坚定。Hedid not regret!
他不后悔!Howis deserted by friends and allies, world-wideallenemyhow?
众叛亲离又如何,举世皆敌又如何?
To reach the summit of power, howcannot pay the price?
想要登上权力之巅,怎么能不付出代价?
!
哧!CountUmandraws out the dagger of waistbackhandedly, throwssuddenlyforward.乌曼伯爵反手拔出腰间的匕首,猛然向前掷去。
The hugebluearmorperson who front, thatpresentstoweringhas acceleratedto clash, the greatshield in handis glittering the gloomily bluegloss, as ifmustgrind to keep offinfrontthing.
前方,那个突兀出现的庞大蓝色铠甲人已经加速冲了过来,手中的巨盾闪烁着幽蓝的光泽,仿佛要碾碎一切挡在面前的东西。Meanwhile, CountUmanbehindalsopresented a redarmorperson, butcompared with that hugeform of front, thisactuallyseemsverydiminutive.
与此同时,乌曼伯爵的身后也出现了一个红色铠甲人,但与前方的那个庞大的身影相比,这一个却显得非常矮小。Butinhishand the giganticgreathammerwas actually indicating,thisis not a role that is easyto cope with.
但他手中硕大的巨锤却在表明,这也不是一个容易对付的角色。CountUmandraws out the long swordrapidly, loudly shouts:乌曼伯爵迅速拔出长剑,大喝一声:„ViscountAngelie! Butdaresto comewithmefights!”
“安格列子爵!可敢现身与我一战!”
