„Founding emperor Garner after St. Lawrence, hasn't the brilliance empire presented a legendary Saint knight again?” “开国皇帝加纳・圣洛伦佐之后,光辉帝国难道就从来没有再出现过一位传奇圣骑士？” Colin raises head to look at the huge sculpture on central square, asked curiously. 柯林仰头望着中央广场上的巨大雕塑,好奇地问道。 Seven steps are the Saint territories, eight steps are the legends, therefore the knights of eight steps are also called the legendary Saint knight. 七阶是圣域,八阶是传奇,所以八阶的骑士也被称为传奇圣骑士。 „No.” Vera by Colin's shoulder, will say in a soft voice, „as far as I know, the St. Hilde family had had a natural talent extraordinary Saint knight, is close to eight steps, but he when trying to impact the legendary domain, was insane.” “没有。”薇拉将头靠在柯林的肩膀上,轻声道,“据我所知,圣希尔德家族曾经有过一位天资超绝的圣骑士,非常接近八阶,但他在试图冲击传奇领域时,疯了。” „Was insane?” “疯了？” „Yes. He completely lost the reason, sees the person to kill, afterward strangled to death by then Pope crowns under and another two Saint knights jointly.” “是的。他完全失去了理智,见人就杀,后来被当时的教皇冕下和另外两位圣骑士联手绞杀了。” Colin brow closely wrinkles, obviously for this, some doubts. 柯林眉头紧紧皱起,显然对此有些疑惑。 Vera sees that opens the mouth to say again: „Then Pope had once had an appraisal- mental of mortal is unable to bear the impact of legend, only has care of Spiritual God, can maintain the reason.” 薇拉见状,再次开口道:“当时的教皇对此曾有过一个评价-凡人的心智无法承受传奇的冲击,唯有神灵的眷顾,才能保持理智。” „Care of Spiritual God?” “神灵的眷顾？” „Yes, many people guessed, the meaning of Pope is, only then ‚god family’ may promote the legend. But founding emperor Garner your majesty, is god family.” “是的,很多人都猜测,教皇的意思是,只有‘神眷者’才有可能晋升传奇。而开国皇帝加纳陛下,也正是一位神眷者。” „God family......” Colin are stroking gently the chin, suddenly thinks oneself when flicker Blood Descendant, says god family. “神眷者……”柯林摩挲着下巴,忽然想到自己在忽悠血裔的时候,也正是自称神眷者。 He also came the interest at this time, asked: „In that brilliance empire history, has only presented Garner your majesty such god family?” 他这时也来了兴趣,又问道:“那光辉帝国历史上,难道就只出现过加纳陛下这么一位神眷者吗？” Vera thinks, said: „Un...... at least after god family of church acknowledgment, only has Garner your majesty this.” 薇拉想了想,道:“嗯……至少经过教会承认的神眷者,只有加纳陛下这一位。” Hehe, in Colin heart laughs in spite of trying not. 呵呵,柯林心中失笑。 Originally such fake goods also very many. 原来自己这样的冒牌货还挺多的呀。 „Then regarding saying to be ‚god family’ person, how does the church process?” “那对于自称是‘神眷者’的人,教会是怎么处理的？” „Probably tries several...... to make concrete me unclear, this need consulted the documents of church.” “好像审判了几个……具体我就不清楚了,这需要去查阅教会的文档。” Colin shakes the head, he does not want to walk to consult this type of thing on own initiative, that no 300 taels of silver buried. 柯林摇摇头,他可不想主动找上门去查阅这种东西,那岂不是此地无银三百两了嘛。 Moreover, his present three Blood Descendant are very reliable, risk that temporarily has not divulged. 而且,他现在的三位血裔都很可靠,暂时没有泄露的风险。 During the thinking, Colin suddenly discovered that the front door of Upper House opened wide slowly. 思索间,柯林忽然发现元老院的大门缓缓敞开了。 „Finished evidently.” “看样子是结束了。” „Un, the hope is a good result.” Vera pinched tightly Colin's hand, is somewhat anxious. “嗯,希望是个好结果吧。”薇拉捏紧了柯林的手,还是有些紧张。 Colin patted Vera's hand gently, hints the opposite party to feel relieved, then turns toward the Upper House direction to walk. 柯林轻轻拍了拍薇拉的手,示意对方放心,然后便向着元老院方向走去。 „Good morning, Sebas Consul!” “早安,赛巴斯执政官！” „Good morning, Miss Vera, Viscount Angelie!” “早安,薇拉小姐,安格列子爵！” „Excuse me, voting result of Upper House......” “请问,元老院的表决结果……” Sebas shows a faint smile, said: „Congratulated, Miss Vera, believes that quick must change a statement to call you for the northern boundary duke!” 赛巴斯微微一笑,道:“恭喜了,薇拉小姐,相信很快就要改口称呼您为北境公爵了！” „Real!” Vera almost jumped happily, „thank you told me this good news!” “真的吗！”薇拉开心地差点跳了起来,“谢谢您告诉我这个好消息！” Colin also felt relieved finally, the tour of this time Royal Dragon City, although three waves to a single stroke, but served the expected purpose finally. 柯林也终于放下心来,这次的御龙城之行,虽然一波三折,但总算达到了预期的目的。 However, he also notices, Sebas Consul said this news, the expression on face always some non- natures. 不过,他也注意到,赛巴斯执政官在说出这个消息的时候,脸上的表情总有些不自然。 Colin felt, perhaps this Consul not necessarily approves Vera to become the northern boundary duke, but cast the affirmative vote under the situation. 柯林觉得,这位执政官恐怕未必认可薇拉成为北境公爵,只是迫于形势才投了赞成票。 Even, this fellow the opposite ballot that may cast...... 甚至,这家伙都有可能投的反对票…… Sebas Consul as if truly does not want to talk to Vera, after blessing several at will, then said goodbye to depart hastily. 赛巴斯执政官似乎也确实不想跟薇拉多谈,随意祝福了几句后,便匆匆告辞离去。 Colin and Vera are preparing also to depart, was stopped by calling out by the carriage: „Miss Vera, Viscount Angelie!” 柯林和薇拉正准备也就此离去,在马车旁却被人叫住:“薇拉小姐,安格列子爵！” Colin has turned head, sees Crete Consul to be with smile on the face to stand in not far away. 柯林回过头,就见克里特执政官面带微笑站在不远处。 Regarding this Consul from western boundary, Colin has the favorable impression very much, before worked for the declaring war proposal, a western boundary department was also the Upper House influence that Colin and Vera first strove. 对于这位来自西境的执政官,柯林还是很有好感的,之前在为宣战提案奔走的时候,西境一系也是柯林和薇拉最先争取到的元老院势力。 „Crete Consul, hello! What matter has?” “克里特执政官,您好！请问有什么事吗？” Crete Consul said with a laugh: „Should you know the voting result of Upper House?” 克里特执政官笑呵呵地说道:“想必您应该已经知道了元老院的表决结果了吧？” „Yes, thank the trust of Upper House, I will certainly make best effort, protected north the boundary for the empire!” “是的,感谢元老院的信任,我一定会尽最大的努力,为帝国守护好北境！” Crete Consul nods, later complexion one positive, asked: „You know that about this proposal, what kind of the final vote situation is?” 克里特执政官点点头,随后脸色一正,问道:“那您知道关于这项提案,最后的投票结果情况是怎么的么？” Vera shakes the head. 薇拉摇摇头。 In Colin heart moves, asked with a smile: „Listens to your meaning, is the vote result somewhat is very deeply worried?” 柯林心中一动,笑着问道:“听您的意思,是不是投票情况很有些焦灼？” „62 in favor , 54 against.” Crete Consul said the vote result directly. “62票赞成,54票反对。”克里特执政官直接说出了投票情况。 Colin narrows the eye immediately, realized is not right. 柯林立刻眯起了眼睛,意识到这其中的不对劲。 The emperor had agreed that makes Vera inherit the northern boundary duke, that red flame will get a senior statesman of department definitely to cast the affirmative vote, after all at this time Prince Reich had been pursued, the senior statesmen who the red flame will get will want stupidly, definitely not to enrage Rinehart Great Emperor at this time. 皇帝已经同意让薇拉继承北境公爵,那绯焰领一系的元老肯定会投赞成票,毕竟此时莱希亲王已经被驱逐,绯焰领的元老们只要不傻,肯定不会在这个时候去触怒莱因哈特大帝。 Crete Consul can run to tell Vera on own initiative the specific vote result, what a senior statesman of that western boundary department definitely also throws is the affirmative vote. 克里特执政官能主动跑来告诉薇拉具体的投票情况,那西境一系的元老肯定也投的是赞成票。 In the remaining tripartite senior statesman influences, south boundary has not had to do, Colin is in doubt their attitudes, but between the opposite party and northern boundaries do not have the benefit dispute, throws approved that throws the opposition possibly to have, should be insufficient unanimously to oppose. 剩下的三方元老势力中,南境没怎么打过交道,柯林拿不准他们的态度,但对方跟北境之间也没有利益纠葛,投赞成投反对可能都有,应该不至于一致反对。 But the eastern boundary, was extinguished the incident because of the Pegasus regiment, definitely hates to the marrow of the bones about Colin, will also be loathing Vera, opposite ballot that therefore the senior statesman of this department should cast. 而东境,因为天马军团被灭一事,肯定对柯林恨之入骨,连带着也会厌恶薇拉,所以这一系的元老应该都投的反对票。 But like this calculates, but also far insufficient 54 tickets, therefore, a senior statesman of northern boundary department, at least had cast the opposite ballot most probably unexpectedly! 但这样算下来,还远不够五十四票,所以,北境一系的元老,至少有大半竟然都投了反对票！ Associated on the non- nature to Sebas Consul face, in Colin heart sneered a moment ago, therefore then asked: „Is the opposite ballot that north boundary senior statesman majority casts?” 联想到刚才赛巴斯执政官脸上的不自然,柯林心中冷笑,于是便问道:“是不是北境元老大部分都投的反对票？” Crete Consul nods, said: „Yes, moreover Sebas Consul, when the indication opinion, opposed that explicitly Miss Vera inherits the northern boundary duke.” 克里特执政官点点头,道:“是的,而且赛巴斯执政官在表述意见的时候,就明确反对薇拉小姐继承北境公爵。” „Hehe! Mr. Sebas also is really...... unexpected!” Colin said with clenched jaws, the anger in heart was unable to suppress. “呵呵！赛巴斯先生还真的是……出人意料啊！”柯林咬牙切齿地说道,心中的怒火已经无法抑制。 He thought that before this Sebas Consul has the hostility to Vera, now looks like, the opposite party has even been disinclined to conceal this hostility. 他之前就觉得这个赛巴斯执政官对薇拉有敌意,现在看来,对方甚至都已经懒得掩饰这份敌意了。 But why is this? 但这是为什么？ Because Sebas steward virtue plan Elder Brother Delindeng was killed by Colin? 因为赛巴斯的管家德谟克的哥哥德林登被柯林杀了？ Because Colin did punch Sebas grandson Weber knight? 还是因为柯林揍了赛巴斯的孙子韦伯骑士一顿？ No! 不！ Colin felt, with the training of Sebas this political arena old fox, not possible because of these two minor matters on envious hatred Vera, definitely also has the reason of deeper level. 柯林觉得,以赛巴斯这种政坛老狐狸的修养,不可能因为这两件小事就嫉恨薇拉,肯定还有更深层次的原因。 Only if the paramount interest were touched, otherwise Sebas will definitely not brave with the risk that the northern boundary duke of future has no consideration for face thoroughly, explicit statement opposition on Upper House. 除非核心利益被触动,否则赛巴斯肯定不会冒着跟未来的北境公爵彻底撕破脸的风险,在元老院上明确表态反对。 Sees Colin to fall into thinks deeply, Crete Consul has not talked too much again, immediately said goodbye to depart. 见柯林陷入深思,克里特执政官也没有再多言,当即告辞离去。 „Colin, why Sebas...... does he want to do that?” Vera also puzzled asked. “柯林,赛巴斯……他为什么要这么做？”薇拉也一脸疑惑地问道。 „I don't know either.” Colin shakes the head, „, but I know, this person has chosen to stand in our opposite, has him in Upper House, north us the boundary will have been impeded!” “我也不知道。”柯林摇摇头,“但我知道,这个人已经选择站在了我们的对立面,有他在元老院,那我们北境就会一直受到掣肘！” He holds Vera starting car(riage), just sat down, then the sinking sound asked: „Really doesn't have the means to replace Consul?” 他扶着薇拉上了马车,刚坐下,便沉声问道:“难道就真的没有办法撤换执政官吗？” „No. Consul is the lifelong system, so long as Sebas does not die, is not against the empire law, we take him not to have the means.” “没有。执政官是终身制,只要赛巴斯不死,不触犯帝国法律,那我们就拿他没有办法。” Sees the Colin brow tight wrinkle, Vera then also said: „Your of previous proposition passes the northern boundary feudal lord to affect various senior statesmen, thus is built on stilts the idea of Sebas to be good, perhaps we can make Sebas the duty of Consul survive in name only with this means.” 见柯林眉头紧皱,薇拉便又道:“你上次提议的那个通过北境领主影响各家元老,从而架空赛巴斯的想法不错,或许我们可以用这种办法让赛巴斯的执政官之职名存实亡。” Colin actually shakes the head saying: „ That is only expedient measure, we cannot stare at Upper House, each time before the voting, threatens a senior statesman of north boundary department. 柯林却摇摇头道:“那只是权宜之计,我们总不能一直盯着元老院,每次投票前都威胁一下北境一系的元老吧。 What I want is one gets it over and done, completely eliminates the means of Sebas influence! ” 我想要的是一个一劳永逸,彻底消除赛巴斯影响力的办法！” Vera fell into silent, for a while also has nothing to suggest. 薇拉陷入了沉默,一时也没什么好建议。 In Colin eyes is flashing unceasingly the swift and fierce ray, to be honest, he wants to send out Blood Slave to butcher a Sebas blade. 柯林眼中不断闪动着凌厉的光芒,说实话,他很想派出血奴将赛巴斯一刀宰了。 But thinks it over, has not set firm resolve. 但思来想去,还是没有下定决心。 This crude method is too dangerous, moreover at this time just now dies Consul, the imperial capital situation is at the most intense condition, if assassinates the failure, or was held the vulnerable point, exposed the Colin biggest secret, that consequence is dreadful. 这种粗暴的手段太危险,而且这时候才刚死了一位执政官,帝都局势正处于最紧张的状态,若是刺杀失败,或是被人抓住小辫子,暴露了柯林最大的秘密,那后果不堪设想。 Without seeing Prince Reich such Saint knight is unable to undertake to kill a Consul charge. 没看到就连莱希亲王这样的圣骑士也无法承担杀死一位执政官的罪名吗。 Looks the scenery that outside the glass is backing up unceasingly, Colin miraculous glow flashes suddenly, immediately the clear and resonant voice tells to the cart driver: 望着车窗外不断倒退的风景,柯林忽然灵光一闪,立刻朗声对车夫吩咐道: „Changes course, goes to the Prime Minister's Residence!” “改道,去首相府！”
