The setting sun has fallen, crescent moon initial rise. 夕阳已落,弯月初升。 The dim light of night of Royal Dragon City north area is dim, Colin taking advantage of the pale moonlight, walks alone on unmanned street. 御龙城北区的夜色黯淡朦胧,柯林借着苍白的月光,独自走在无人的街道上。 During the daytime in playback in his brain unceasingly, all kinds of doubts linger in the heart, keeping Colin from going to sleep peacefully. 白天里发生的一幕幕在他脑中不断回放,各种各样的疑惑萦绕在心头,让柯林根本无法安然入睡。 Since cannot fall asleep, Colin then left Fenghuang Gong, strolls in Royal Dragon City. 既然睡不着,柯林便离开了凤凰宫,在御龙城闲逛起来。 Naturally, said that strolls is inaccurate, because he has the destination. 当然,说是闲逛也并不准确,因为他还是有目的地的。 Thump thump thump. 咚咚咚。 Colin sounds a front door of garden, in the gate seal is carving a pigeon that holds the olive branch, this is White family's badge. 柯林敲响一座庭院的大门,门上印刻着一个衔着橄榄枝的鸽子,这正是怀特家族的徽章。 , The front door opens, an old man of steward appearance walked, after seeing Colin viscount formal clothes, salutes to ask hastily: „Respectable viscount Sir, has something to help your?” 吱呀一声,大门打开,一位管家模样的老者走了出来,看到柯林身上的子爵礼服后,连忙行礼问道:“尊敬的子爵大人,请问有什么可以帮您的？” „I am Colin Angelie, scholar Dawn in?” “我是柯林・安格列,请问道恩学士在吗？” „In! Viscount Angelie, come in!” “在的！安格列子爵,请进！” scholar Dawn has not followed Vera and Colin is admitted to Fenghuang Gong together, but lives in a White family's hotel in Royal Dragon City, although is not big, but also is a good foothold. 道恩学士没有跟着薇拉和柯林一起住进凤凰宫,而是住在怀特家族在御龙城内的一座宅邸,虽然并不大,但也是一个不错的落脚点。 The White family's whole show, for example White Viscount and the others, in own territory, here was occupied by scholar Dawn, therefore Colin this time comes not to calculate official visiting, has not informed ahead of time. 怀特家族的主要人物,比如怀特子爵等人,都在自己的领地中,这里就住了道恩学士,所以柯林这次来也不算正式拜访,就没有提前通知。 Under steward's leadership, Colin following the staircase, is on two buildings. 在管家的带领下,柯林顺着楼梯,登上二楼。 The aide who at this time goes to notify had gotten scholar Dawn. 此时前去报信的侍从已经将道恩学士领了过来。 „Viscount Sir, you must come not to say one to me ahead of time, I also prepare one to entertain you well.” “子爵大人,您要来怎么也不跟我提前说一声,我也好准备一下招待您。” Colin beckons with the hand, said: „Between both of us did not need to be fastidious about these over-detailed formalities, but the hope has not disturbed you.” 柯林摆摆手,道:“我们俩之间就不用讲究这些繁文缛节了,只是希望没有打扰到你。” „Naturally no!” “当然没有！” scholar Dawn ushered in the study room Colin, then made the aide carry two cups of coffee and some dried fruits. 道恩学士将柯林领进了书房,然后让侍从端上了两杯咖啡和一些果干。 Colin's vision swept in the study room, the arrangement in room is quite simple, in Shoshadai spread out a sheepskin scroll, side is putting the quill pen, ink and sealing wax seal, Colin comes evidently time, scholar Dawn is writing a letter. 柯林的目光在书房中扫了一圈,房中的布置较为简单,书写台上摊开了一张羊皮卷轴,旁边放着鹅毛笔、墨汁、火漆印章,看样子柯林来的时候,道恩学士正在写信。 Most makes Colin surprised, is the books of that full wall, glances at to have about thousand books fully. 最让柯林惊讶的,就是那满满一面墙的书籍,粗看起来足有近千本书。 In this did not have in the world of printing method, the value of books endures compared with the gold, the quantity of book collection also became the symbol of family background. 在这个还没有印刷术的世界里,书籍的价值堪比黄金,藏书的数量也成了家族底蕴的象征。 Noticed Colin's surprised vision, scholar Dawn explained with a smile: „These books initially I, when Bai Tower Institute studies, transcribes personally one after another from the book collection hall of school.” 注意到了柯林惊讶的目光,道恩学士笑着解释道:“这些书籍还是当初我在白塔学院求学的时候,亲自从学院的藏书馆中一本一本抄写回来的。” „Very extraordinary!” Colin approves to sigh. “很了不起！”柯林赞叹道。 Compares, the Angelie family's study room was extremely poor, simply does not have many books, if not for occupied Ice Rock City afterward, received the Suduo Family book collection hall, perhaps the books in Red Fort did not have scholar Dawn person many in study room. 相比起来,安格列家族的书房就太过寒酸了,根本没多少书,若不是后来占据了冰岩城,接收了苏铎家族的藏书馆,恐怕红堡里的书籍还没有道恩学士一个人的书房里的多。 Drank a coffee, Colin shifted to the subject, asked: „Should you also know in the now Tiansheng brilliant church the matter of?” 喝了口咖啡,柯林转向正题,问道:“你应该也知道了今天圣光大教堂里发生的事情了吧？” „Naturally. This matter has spread over the entire city . Moreover, I also know, the Prince Reich mansion had taken over control by the city defense force, inside person was all pursued.” “当然。这件事早就传遍了全城,而且,我还知道,就连莱希亲王的府邸都已经被城防军接管了,里面的人全部被驱逐。” „Hehe, is the movement so quick?” “呵呵,动作这么快？” „Should some people trim one's sails, hits a person when he is down.” “应该是有人见风使舵,落井下石了。” Colin puts down the coffee cup, stretches the body on the sofa, asked: „How do you see Consul Lethem the case of murder? You also thought that is Prince Reich does?” 柯林放下咖啡杯,将身体舒展在沙发上,问道:“你怎么看莱托姆执政官的这起谋杀案？你也觉得是莱希亲王做的吗？” scholar Dawn smiled saying with a smile: „Prince Reich has the murderous intention, now the autopsy discovers the evidence that he is unable to argue, as the matter stands, actually he does have the murder, is unimportant.” 道恩学士笑了笑道:“莱希亲王有杀人动机,现在尸检又发现了他无法辩解的证据,这样一来,他究竟有没有杀人,已经不重要了。” „Truly.” Colin vision flashes, pursues asks, „, but if he were unjust, you thought that who is most likely the person who conducts this time frames by planting stolen goods on to frame?” “确实。”柯林目光闪动,追问道,“但如果他是被冤枉的,你觉得谁最有可能是进行这次栽赃陷害的人？” „If Prince Reich were framed......” scholar Dawn to hesitate slightly, „that Rinehart Great Emperor is the most likely murderer/culprit!” “如果莱希亲王是被陷害的话……”道恩学士略微犹豫了一下,“那莱因哈特大帝就是最有可能的真凶！” Colin showed the light smile, asked: „Because he does make a profit in a big way?” 柯林露出了淡淡的笑容,又问道:“因为他获利最大吗？” „Yes.” scholar Dawn nods, but had not said. “是的。”道恩学士点点头,但却没有多说。 Colin also realized, perhaps in Royal Dragon City has many smart people to see through that play of today's Saint brilliant church, the trap that but the emperor sets up is extremely really ingenious, no one can expose this mix, therefore can only look at Prince Reich to become „murderer” helplessly. 柯林也意识到,或许御龙城中已经有不少聪明人看穿了今日圣光大教堂的那一幕戏,只不过皇帝设下的陷阱实在太过巧妙,无人能揭破这个迷局,所以只能眼睁睁看着莱希亲王成为“杀人凶手”。 „You felt, Rinehart Great Emperor palm breaks in horses the empire political situation again, to us, is actually the good deed, is the misdemeanor?” “那你觉得,莱因哈特大帝重新掌控御帝国政局,对我们来说,究竟是好事,还是坏事？” „Is the good deed.” scholar Dawn replied without hesitation. “是好事。”道恩学士毫不犹豫地答道。 „Why?” The self-confidence of opposite party makes Colin somewhat confuse very much. “为什么？”对方的自信让柯林很有些迷惑。 Although scholar Dawn also once analyzed before, Rinehart Great Emperor truly favors letting Vera inherits the position of northern boundary duke, but that is Prince Reich also, Rinehart Great Emperor needs to win over Wizard, keeps in balance own uncle. 虽然之前道恩学士也曾判断,莱因哈特大帝确实更倾向于让薇拉继承北境公爵之位,但那是莱希亲王还在,莱因哈特大帝需要拉拢法师,来制衡自己的叔叔。 But now, Prince Reich had been done by this case of murder is disgraced, is deserted by friends and allies, thoroughly is far away from the imperial capital political situation, in such situation, Vera's function was also more minor. 但现在,莱希亲王已经被这场谋杀案搞得声名扫地,众叛亲离,彻底远离帝都政局,这样的情况下,薇拉的作用也就小了很多。 Therefore in Colin opinion, the downfall of Prince Reich, to Vera, instead is a misdemeanor. 所以在柯林看来,莱希亲王的倒台,对薇拉来说,反而是一件坏事。 This is also today on the carriage, when Rinehart Great Emperor complies to confer Vera for the northern boundary duke, doubts that in Colin heart raises. 这也是今日在马车上,莱因哈特大帝答应册封薇拉为北境公爵时,柯林心中升起的疑惑。 scholar Dawn looks at Colin's eyes, said earnestly: „Because the emperor needs a powerful northern boundary, as ally.” 道恩学士看着柯林的眼睛,认真地说道:“因为皇帝陛下需要一个强大的北境,作为盟友。” Colin complexion changes, is lost in thought. 柯林脸色微变,陷入沉思。 Today on the carriage, the some row operations of emperor and empress, makes Harrison imperial prince and Princess Judy requests Colin to be a master particularly, truly was very explicit winning over. 今天在马车上,皇帝和皇后的一些列操作,尤其是让哈里森皇子和朱蒂公主拜柯林为师,确实是非常明确的拉拢了。 At that time Colin was very puzzled, this little while saw scholar Dawn also to look through this point, asked hastily: „Why does your majesty need a powerful northern boundary to take the ally?” 当时柯林就很不解,这会儿见道恩学士也看破这一点,连忙问道:“陛下为什么需要一个强大的北境作为盟友？” scholar Dawn not direct reaction, but asked back: „Viscount Sir, you thought that your majesty after the success expels Prince Reich, is the biggest enemy who?” 道恩学士并没有直接回答,而是反问道:“子爵大人,您觉得陛下在成功驱逐莱希亲王之后,最大的敌人是谁？” Colin thinks, feels outside empire each alien race is not the archenemy at present, only if Orc really can found the third empire. 柯林想了想,觉得目前帝国外部的各个异族都还算不上大敌,除非兽人真的能够建立起第三帝国。 The words that like this thinks, the emperor biggest enemy, definitely was coming from the empire. 这样想的话,那皇帝最大的敌人,肯定就是来自帝国内部了。 Colin this/Ben wants to say Upper House, but careful thinks, thought that Upper House can create to the emperor at most impedes, but also is not the archenemy. 柯林本想说元老院,但仔细一想,又觉得元老院顶多能给皇帝一些造成一些掣肘,还算不上大敌。 Moreover, if to cope with Upper House, does not need to win over the northern boundary like this with effort. 而且,如果是为了对付元老院,也没必要这样费力地去拉拢北境。 Immediately, Colin then miraculous glow flashes, blurted out: „Is a church!” 随即,柯林便灵光一闪,脱口而出道:“是教会！” scholar Dawn smiles, the nod said: „Right!” 道恩学士笑了笑,点头道:“没错！” Colin sat the body, the heart had relayed straight various thoughts. 柯林坐直了身体,心中转过各种念头。 He can certainly understand at the beginning of the reason that Rinehart Great Emperor is hostile to the church, the battle of imperial authority and theocracy almost founds a nation from the brilliance empire has started. 他当然能理解莱因哈特大帝敌视教会的原因,皇权与神权的争斗几乎从光辉帝国建国之初就已经开始了。 St. Lawrence Family, and even the entire empire upper class, the attitude to the church is not only relies on, and vigilant. 圣洛伦佐家族,乃至整个帝国贵族阶层,对教会的态度是既依赖,又警惕。 They need to teach the build with the bridge that the Spiritual God communicates, thus promotion knight, but, actually also time on the alert the excessive expansion of theocracy. 他们需要教会搭建与神灵沟通的桥梁,从而晋升骑士,但同时,却也时刻警惕着神权的过度扩张。 The church was too lofty in the reputation and prestige of folk, if leaves alone, the emperor will be very easy to become the ornaments, but the major feudal lords will also become being a go-between puppet of church, for sheepdog that they will manage the people. 教会在民间的名声和威望实在太崇高了,如果放任不管,那皇帝很容易就会成为摆设,而各大领主也会成为教会的牵线木偶,替他们管理子民的牧羊犬。 Naturally, as a result of special dependence of both sides, the imperial family ultimate goal definitely does not eradicate the brilliance church, but wants to limit the power of opposite party in the church, do not gesticulate to the government affairs of common custom. 当然,由于双方的特殊依赖关系,皇室最终的目的肯定不是铲除光辉教会,只是想将对方的权力限制在教堂之内,不要对世俗的政务指手画脚。 Somehow, Colin recalled suddenly initially when silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate, he to retaliate Empress Midella instigated his relations with the Queen Aisha, laid down a seed of resistance church in Harrison imperial prince heart intentionally. 不知怎的,柯林忽然回想起当初在银月城的时候,他为了报复弥黛拉皇后挑拨他跟艾莎女王的关系,故意在哈里森皇子心底埋下了一颗反抗教会的种子。 Perhaps was that time, Empress Midella recognized ally that he can win over. 或许就是那次,弥黛拉皇后才认定了他是可以拉拢的盟友吧。 But immediately, Colin realized anything suddenly, when looks again to scholar Dawn, the look suddenly becomes sharp incomparable, the sinking sound asked: „Is the imperial family sends you to arrive at the northern boundary?” 但随即,柯林突然意识到了什么,再次看向道恩学士时,眼神突然变得锐利无比,沉声问道:“是皇室派你到北境的吧？” scholar Dawn the complexion slightly changes, after hesitant moment, the nod said: 道恩学士脸色微微一变,犹豫片刻后,还是点头道: „Yes.” “是的。” Colin's complexion instantaneous gloomy. 柯林的脸色瞬间阴沉了下来。
