The swan city stands erect in the swan lakeside, the moat and lake are connected, looks from afar, this palatial majestic city looks like the island in lake. 天鹅城矗立在天鹅湖畔,护城河与湖泊相连,远远看去,这座巍峨雄壮的城市就像是湖中的小岛。 The azure black city wall reflects in the lake water, under shine of setting sun, the real and empty shadow, is majestic and gently beautiful, interweaves a beautiful scenery line. 青黑色的城墙倒映在湖水中,在斜阳的映照下,真实与虚影,雄壮与柔美,交织成一道美丽的风景线。 When Colin follows Viscount Sorling to arrive at the swan city next, discovered that Count Schultz has been awaiting respectfully outside the city. 当柯林跟着索林子爵来到天鹅城下时,发现舒尔茨伯爵已经在城外恭候着了。 This Count Schultz wears a pale blue palace clothing long skirt, the stature selects high symmetrically, the black becoming dark pupil, the facial features are fine, could not see that the years in the trace that on her stays behind. 这位舒尔茨伯爵穿着一袭淡蓝色的宫装长裙,身材高挑匀称,黑发黑瞳,五官精致,丝毫看不出岁月在她身上留下的痕迹。 Colin turns over/stands up dismount, bows to salute saying: „Count Schultz, wishing your beautiful appearance to exist forever, lasting youthfulness.” 柯林翻身下马,躬身行礼道:“舒尔茨伯爵阁下,愿您美貌长存,青春永驻。” „The northern boundary protector of respect, Viscount Angelie, welcome you to arrive at the swan city!” “尊敬的北境守护者,安格列子爵阁下,欢迎您来到天鹅城！” Count Schultz smiles, the tone is kind, as if no , because Vera refuses to come the swan city to feel unhappy. 舒尔茨伯爵嫣然一笑,语气亲切温和,似乎丝毫没有因为薇拉拒绝前来天鹅城而感到不快。 This female Count makings are gentle, has the affinity very much, even if Colin to some Schultz family opinions, almost soon may in the smile of person dissipate in Count Schultz gently completely. 这位女伯爵气质温婉,很有亲和力,哪怕柯林对舒尔茨家族有些意见,也几乎快要在舒尔茨伯爵温柔可人的笑容中消散殆尽。 „This is my husband, Lucien.” “这位就是我的丈夫,路西恩。” Count Schultz is pointing at facial features rough middle-aged man introduced. 舒尔茨伯爵指着身旁一位面容粗犷的中年男子介绍道。 Lucien corners of the mouth pull a smile, the attitude is not earnest, does not know that is because has the opinion to Colin, is such was unsocial. 路西恩嘴角扯出一个笑容,态度不算热切,不知道是因为对柯林有意见,还是本就这样不善交际。 Colin has not cared, nods toward Lucien with a smile. 柯林也没有在意,笑着朝路西恩点头致意。 Most powerhouse as currently north boundary on, Lucien has the qualifications to be proud outwardly. 身为目前北境明面上的最强者,路西恩还是有资格骄傲的。 Afterward, Count Schultz also reported to Colin an behind important clansman, Colin 11 is greeting with a smile, in fact simply has not actually remembered several personal names. 随后,舒尔茨伯爵又向柯林介绍了一圈身后的重要族人,柯林笑着一一打着招呼,实际上却根本没记住几个人名。 After one exchanged greetings, Count Schultz got Colin to enter the swan city. 一番寒暄后,舒尔茨伯爵领着柯林进入天鹅城。 This time Colin comes, only led more than ten guards, naturally this is outwardly on strength, more than 100 Blood Slave hide in secret quietly outside the city. 此次柯林前来,只带了十几名侍卫,当然这是明面上的力量,暗中还有一百多名血奴悄然潜藏在城外。 The swan city consistently has the reputation of northern boundary most beautiful city, in the city constructed to paint the unified white with the dye, the road surface paved with the green slat, the road center was also equipped with the greenbelt, is planting the tall dryondra. 天鹅城一向有北境最美城市的美誉,城内建筑都用染料刷成了统一的白色,路面用青石板铺就,路中央还设有绿化带,种着高大的梧桐树。 However in Colin opinion, beautiful of swan city has an artificial feeling in inside, was inferior that the silver semi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate comes the nature, naturally, in a northern boundary numerous city, truly could be outstandingly, Winterfell City compared with it, were many some grandly, but was short of minute/share of composed. 不过在柯林看来,天鹅城的美有种做作的感觉在里面,不如银月城来得自然,当然,在北境一众城市中,确实算得上出类拔萃了,凛冬城跟它比起来,多了些雄伟,但少了分婉约。 Colin looks at Tianebao of not far away, asked with a smile: „Count Sir, was inferior that we go to the brilliance church directly.” 柯林看着不远处的天鹅堡,笑着问道:“伯爵大人,不如我们直接去光辉教堂吧。” „First doesn't use the dinner?” “不先用晚餐吗？” „First has a look at the John Bishop missing place, otherwise this doubts hang in the heart, I have no interest in dine.” “还是先去看看约翰主教失踪的地方吧,不然这个疑惑挂在心头,我也无心用餐。” Count Schultz also no longer persuaded, smiles gently, said: „Good, your professional attitude is praiseworthy.” 舒尔茨伯爵也不再劝说,温柔地笑了笑,称赞道:“好吧,您的敬业态度让人钦佩。” Immediately, the motorcade transferred a direction slowly, shortly , before arrived at the brilliance church . 随即,车队缓缓转了个方向,没多久,就来到了光辉教堂前。 Four white robe pastors welcomed into the pray hall Colin and his party, Count Schultz walked to a Colin introduced: 四位白袍牧师将柯林一行人迎入了祈祷厅,舒尔茨伯爵边走边向柯林介绍道: „ Several pastors according to church said that John Bishop is missing in the evening all usual, after he managed to end the last mass, returned to the room to rest, the servants but who next morning, will come to take care of Bishop washing actually discovered, John Bishop was not in the room. “据教堂的几位牧师讲,约翰主教失踪当晚一切如常,他主持完最后一场弥撒后,就回屋休息,但第二天一早,前来服侍主教洗漱的仆人们却发现,约翰主教并不在房内。 Afterward, the pastors sought in the church, actually has achieved nothing, has to report this matter in me. 随后,牧师们在教堂内寻找了一番,却一无所获,只好将此事汇报于我。 I also send the outgoing defense force to search the entire city, even also made Lucien lead area the swan city nearby to nose personally, still has not actually discovered John Bishop trail. ” 我也派出城防军搜索全城,甚至还让路西恩亲自带队在天鹅城附近一带查探了一遍,却依然没有发现约翰主教的踪迹。” Colin nods, said to the pastor of showing the way: „Can lead us to go to John Bishop room?” 柯林点点头,对领路的牧师道:“能带我们去约翰主教的房间吗？” „Sure, here invited.” “当然可以,这边请。” In several people under pastor's leadership across the corridor, arrive at the courtyard. 几人在牧师的带领下穿过长廊,来到内庭。 „Viscount Sir, this was John Bishop room, we had investigated, no trace of fighting before carefully, has not discovered any exceptionally.” “子爵大人,这就是约翰主教的房间了,我们之前仔细调查过,没有任何打斗的痕迹,也没有发现任何异常。” Colin transferred in the room, suddenly asked with a smile: „John Bishop is goes far, then forgot to say one to you?” 柯林在房间转了一圈,忽然笑着问道:“难道约翰主教是自己出远门,然后忘了跟你们说一声了？” Count Schultz also smiled, said: „Seemed like this seems like explains reasonably.” 舒尔茨伯爵也笑了,道:“看起来这好像是最合理的解释了。” Colin touches the nose, thought that is it possible that is really the acrobatics that the church directs and perform? 柯林摸了摸鼻子,心想莫非真的是教会自导自演的把戏？ John Bishop knows that Vera is going to pass by the swan city, comes one to be missing intentionally, to deceive Vera enters a city? 约翰主教知道薇拉将要路过天鹅城,故意来一场失踪,就是为了骗薇拉进城？ But is like this useful? 但这样有什么用呢？ Colin's 11 of vision on the people face in the room has swept, asked: „Bishop is missing that evening, what strange person has he with contacted?” 柯林的目光在房间中众人脸上一一扫过,又问道:“主教失踪那晚,他跟什么奇怪的人接触过吗？” „Strange person?” “奇怪的人？” „Un, person who or you do not know.” “恩,或者你们不认识的人。” Several pastors pondered a while, one of them opens the mouth to say suddenly: „The strange knights arrive at the church, looks for the Bishop confession.” 几位牧师思考了一会儿,其中一人突然开口道:“是有一位陌生的骑士来到教堂,找主教告解。” „Strange knight?” Count Schultz also came the interest, „which family's knight do you no one recognize him are?” “陌生的骑士？”舒尔茨伯爵也来了兴趣,“你们没人认出他是哪个家族的骑士吗？” The pastor shakes the head saying: „This knight should be injured, the most face was wrapped up by the plain white cloth, I have not recognized his identity. But John Bishop as if knew with him, accepted his confession request.” 牧师摇摇头道:“这位骑士应该是受了伤,大半张脸都被白布包住,我也没认出他的身份。但约翰主教似乎跟他认识,接受了他的告解请求。” Colin says immediately: „Can lead us to go to the confession room to have a look?” 柯林立刻道:“能带我们去告解室看看吗？” The pastor nods, immediately also led the people to leave the Bishop room, came to one side of the pray hall confession room. 牧师点点头,随即又带着众人离开了主教的房间,来到祈祷厅一侧的告解室。 The confession room is very narrow and small, inside decoration is also very simple, two seats, the middle is away from one to separate with a wooden weather board. 告解室很狭小,里面的装饰也很简单,两张座椅,中间隔着一个用一个木制挡风板隔开。 To the brilliance believer, here is to the Spiritual God recent place, is they can open wide the intention only, said the sin, to Spiritual God hope confession place. 对光辉教徒来说,这里是离神灵最近的地方,也是他们唯一可以敞开心怀,说出自己罪孽,向神灵祈求忏悔的地方。 Count Schultz looked at the moment, does not seem to seen anything, then asked: „Unusually what John did Bishop after ending the confession have?” 舒尔茨伯爵看了片刻,似乎也没看出什么东西来,便问道:“约翰主教在结束告解之后有什么异常吗？” The pastor thinks, shakes the head saying: „Probably nothing unusual, later he also presided over the mass, is not different from the usual performance.” 牧师想了想,摇头道:“好像没什么异常,之后他还主持了弥撒,跟平时的表现没什么两样。” Count Schultz said to the husband: „Perhaps we should inquire the city garrison officer, which injured knight had a look recently to enter the swan city.” 舒尔茨伯爵对丈夫说道:“或许我们应该询问一下城防官,看看最近有哪位受伤的骑士进入了天鹅城。” Lucien nods, said: „Good, I asked later.” 路西恩点点头,道:“好,我待会儿就去问。” Count Schultz sees Colin to be silent, then asked: „Viscount, what do you have to discover?” 舒尔茨伯爵见柯林一直沉默不语,便问道:“子爵阁下,您有什么发现么？” Colin gawked, later shakes the head to say with a smile: „No.” 柯林愣了一下,随后摇头笑道:“没有。” Count Schultz deeply looked at Colin one eyes, then invited: „We first return to Tianebao to dine.” 舒尔茨伯爵深深看了柯林一眼,便邀请道:“那我们还是先回天鹅堡用餐吧。” „Good.” “好。” The people leave the church immediately, entered Tianebao. 众人随即离开教堂,进入了天鹅堡。 At this time the weather is late, the banquet hall corner of Tianebao raised the crystal candlestick hanging lamp, the attentive servants have prepared table of delicacy delicacies, is used honored guests who receive cordially to come from far away. 此时天色已晚,天鹅堡的宴会大厅一角升起了水晶烛台吊灯,殷勤的仆人们早已准备好了一桌珍馐佳肴,用来款待远道而来的贵客们。 ...... …… After the banquet ended, Colin arrives at the Count under a young maidservant's leadership for the room that he prepares. 宴会结束后,柯林在一位年轻侍女的带领下来到伯爵为他准备的房间。 After washing, Colin has not actually gone to sleep immediately, but left Tianebao quietly, returned to the brilliance church again. 一番洗漱过后,柯林却没有立即入睡,而是悄然离开了天鹅堡,再次回到了光辉教堂。 In the pray hall in church, the pastors are directing the choir to recite the hymn, one of them saw after Colin, immediately welcomes, asked: 教堂的祈祷厅内,牧师们正在指挥着唱诗班吟唱着赞美诗,其中一人见到柯林后立刻迎了上来,问道: „Viscount Sir, what having is I can do for you?” “子爵大人,有什么是我可以为您做的吗？” Colin referred to the direction of wing saying: „I want to go to that confession room to have a look again, inside no one?” 柯林指了指侧厅的方向道:“我想再去那间告解室看看,里面没有人吧？” „No. Do you want the confession?” “没有。您是要告解吗？” „No, I had a look to be good, you did not need to manage me.” “不,我自己看看就行了,你们不用管我。” „Good.” “好的。” After sending the pastor, Colin comes to the confession room alone. 打发走牧师后,柯林独自来到告解室。 Closes the door, Colin sits down on the seat. 关上门,柯林在座位上坐下。 In the confession room is very peaceful, can hear the next door to pray that in the hall hears the singing sound of indistinct choir. 告解室中很安静,能听到隔壁祈祷厅内传来隐约的唱诗班的歌声。 Colin deeply inspires, smelled again that wiped the vague smell of blood. 柯林深吸一口气,再次闻到了那一抹若有若无的血腥味。 The flavor is very pale is very pale, looked that Count Schultz and that pastors' performance knows, they simply had not perceived this wipes the smell of blood. 味道很淡很淡,看舒尔茨伯爵和那一众牧师们的表现就知道,他们根本没有觉察到这一抹血腥味。 Colin is extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, perhaps will also miss this vital clue. 要不是柯林对鲜血的气味极其敏感,恐怕也会错过这个重要线索。 This smell, making him go to return. 正是这股气味,让他去而复返。 But when Colin prepares to inspect one again carefully, suddenly felt not right. 但就在柯林准备再仔细查验一番时,忽然感觉到一丝不对劲。 ! 唰！ He puts out a hand to open the central separation curtain, discovered impressively, on opposite seat is sitting another person! 他伸手拉开中央的隔帘,赫然发现,对面的座位上正坐着另一个人！ In Colin heart trembles, shows a stiff smile, sent regards: 柯林心中一颤,露出一个僵硬的微笑,问候道: „Good evening, Your Highness the Prince!” “晚上好,亲王殿下！”
