At this timeissummerend, the weatheris gradually cool, the sunlightalsobecomesno longersinister.
此时已经是夏季的末尾,天气渐渐凉爽,阳光也变得不再毒辣。Colinis leadingBlood Cavalry Armynorthbound, onlyusedsixdays to arrive inWinterfell City.
柯林率领着血骑军一路北行,只用了六天的时间就抵达了凛冬城。When the evening, palatialWinterfell Cityappears the solemn silenceundershine of setting sun.
时值傍晚,巍峨的凛冬城在夕阳的映照下更显得庄严肃穆。WhenColinarrives under the city wall, discovered that Verahas stoodbefore the hanging bridge, greetsman who returnsfrom the distant place.
当柯林抵达城墙之下时,就发现薇拉已经站在吊桥前,迎接从远方归来的男人了。Shewears a purplewoman of qualitylong skirt, serves as contrast the happybodycurvenot to lose the solemnelegant, just rightpalemakeupmakeson the beautifulappearancemore bright-coloredmovingly, looked that accumulatedtoColin'sbeautifuleyepupilfilledtender feelingshoneyintent.
她穿着一件紫色贵妇长裙,衬托出美好的身体曲线又不失端庄典雅,恰到好处的淡妆让原本就美丽的容颜更加明艳动人,看向柯林的美丽眼眸中蕴满了柔情蜜意。InColinheartwarm, immediatelyturns over/stands updismount, walkedwith stride.
柯林心中温暖,当即翻身下马,大步走了上去。Althoughthinksvery muchfrontpersonwill support into the bosom, butColinsuppressesthisimpulsive, according to the properaristocratetiquette, singlekneekneels down, salutes the regardstoownLordMr .
虽然很想一把将面前的可人儿拥入怀中,但柯林还是抑制住这种冲动,按照应有的贵族礼仪,单膝下跪,向自己的主君行礼问候。Has not actually thoughtVerabeforeColinkneels down, has held onhim, saidaffectionate: „Colin, welcometo go home!”
却没想薇拉在柯林跪下前,就已经拉住了他,亲昵地说道:“柯林,欢迎回家!”Colinalsono longergoes tomanagestheseover-detailed formalitiesimmediately, bent downto kissVera'sbright and cleanforehead, is saying with a smile: „Mywife, yourtoday'sbeautiful!”
柯林随即也不再去管那些繁文缛节,俯身亲吻了薇拉光洁的额头,笑着道:“我的夫人,你今天美极了!”Verasweetsmiles, immediatelypullsColin'sarm, walkstoward the citytogether.
薇拉甜甜一笑,随即挽上柯林的胳膊,一同向城内走去。„Teacheris good!”
“老师好!”In the city gate, Harrisonimperial princeandPrincessJudy the brittlesoundsent regards.
城门内,哈里森皇子和朱蒂公主脆声问候道。Colinnodstowardtwolittle fellows, immediatelyholdsVerastartingcar(riage).
柯林朝两个小家伙点头致意,随即扶着薇拉上了马车。Surrounded byoneteam of guards, the carriageacross the half of the cityarea, arrives at the summit the lionroarfort.
在一队侍卫的簇拥下,马车穿过半个城区,来到山顶的狮吼堡。
The servantshave prepared the sumptuousevening banquet, greetsColin'sreturn.
仆人们早已准备好了丰盛的晚宴,迎接柯林的归来。Walks into the knighthallwithVeratogether, in the airis filling the lightwild roseflower fragrance.
与薇拉一同走入骑士大厅,空气中弥漫着淡淡的蔷薇花香。Marquis Garciawears the neataristocratformal clothes, standsin the business hallhands tied, nodstowardColin.加西亚侯爵穿着整洁的贵族礼服,束手站在大厅中央,朝柯林点头致意。
A month ago compared with, the Marquis Garciaspiritwas better, on the facealsohadsomeblood-color, is only the physique the rickets, in the handis still leaning on a walking stick, the lookno longeris also swift and fierce, as ifin the pastthatearthshakingnorthernboundaryarmygodshad disappearedthoroughlydo not see.
与一个多月前相比,加西亚侯爵的精神好了许多,脸上也有了些血色,只是体态依然佝偻,手中拄着一根拐杖,眼神也不再凌厉,似乎当年那个叱咤风云的北境军神已经彻底消失不见。Colinalsobowsto return a courtesyhastily, andexchanged a lookwith the opposite party, has not saidanything.
柯林也连忙躬身回礼,并与对方交换了一个眼神,却没有多说什么。At this time, scholarDawnandCambayknight, Bishop Emeritusand the othersalsosalutedin abundance the regardstoColin.
这时,道恩学士、坎贝宁骑士、荣休主教等人也纷纷向柯林行礼问候。Young MasterJoycealsoinhall, butthisyoungster was unable to hideownhappyanger, is perfunctorynodstowardColin, thenrouses the cheekto lookto the ground, as if not would ratherappearhere.
乔伊斯少爷也在厅中,只是这位少年还不太会隐藏自己的喜怒,敷衍地朝柯林点了点头,然后就鼓着腮帮子看向地面,似乎很不情愿出现在这里。Colinwill certainly not pay attention to a having a fit of temperkid, immediatelyinvited the peopleto take a seat.
柯林当然不会理会一个发脾气的小屁孩,随即邀请众人入座。Like this formalevening banquet, the seat of everyone hastasteful, ColinandVerasiton the seat of honorshoulder to shoulder, right handisMarquis GarciaandBishop Emeritus, the left handisHarrisonimperial princeandPrincessJudy, againdownwardisJoyce, scholarDawn, a knight of St. Hildefamilydepartment.
这样的正式晚宴,每个人的座位都有讲究,柯林和薇拉并肩坐在主位上,右手边是加西亚侯爵和荣休主教,左手边是哈里森皇子和朱蒂公主,再往下就是乔伊斯、道恩学士,还有圣希尔德家族一系的骑士。BecauseAganibigBishopalsomakesJohnBishopfuneral arrangementsin the swancitynow, thereforeinWinterfell CityisBishop Emeritusrepresents the churchattendancewelcome banquet.
由于阿佳妮大主教现在还在天鹅城处理约翰主教的后事,所以凛冬城中是荣休主教代表教会出席欢迎晚宴。Colinobserves the situation for a week, withoutseeingthatbyoneself the formerempireagriculture minister who turnsfromwinterspringZhen, thenasked: „How to seescholarSonne?”
柯林环视一周,没见到那位被自己从冬泉镇拐来的前任帝国农业大臣,便问道:“怎么没见到桑尼学士?”scholarDawnshows a faint smile, said: „scholarSonnesaid that mustinvestigate and study the northernboundary, preparesfor the followingagricultural reform, therefore, is not in Winterfell Citynow.”
道恩学士微微一笑,道:“桑尼学士说要调研北境,为接下来的农业改革做准备,所以,现在并不在凛冬城中。”Colinnods, thought that thisscholarSonnealso is really professional, justcameto startto investigate and study, thenno longermanageshim, makesVeraannounce that with a smile the banquetstarts.
柯林点点头,心想这位桑尼学士还真是敬业,刚来就开始调研,便不再管他,笑着让薇拉宣布宴会开始。Veracarries the goldwine glassimmediately, raises the sound said: „, Pleasedrinkthiscupcompletely, wishing the brilliance the Lordhonorto shelterus, hoping the St. Hildefamilyalwaysprosperous!”
薇拉当即端起金质酒杯,扬声道:“诸位,请满饮此杯,愿光辉之主的荣光庇护吾辈,愿圣希尔德家族永世昌盛!”
The peoplecarry the wine glass, shouldloudlywith.
众人纷纷端起酒杯,高声应和。Colindrank up: the champagne, said with a smile the cup„, Pleaseenjoy the tonight'sgood foodheartily!”
柯林喝干了杯中香槟,笑道:“诸位,请尽情享用今晚的美食!”
The peoplecheerone, immediatelystartsto cope with the food on tablewholly absorbed.
众人欢呼一声,随即开始专心致志地对付起餐桌上的食物。Inthisworld, the feudal lordholds the family banquetis a veryseriousmatter, there isoneset of verystandardetiquette.
这个世界中,领主举办家宴是一件非常严肃的事情,有一套非常规范的礼仪。In the process of feed, anybody can not speak, until the main coursefinishes attending, with the knife and forkrapdinner plate , indicating after oneselfhave eaten to the full, canchatwith the person who othereat to the full.
在进食的过程中,任何人都不得说话,直到主菜上完,用刀叉敲击餐盘,表示自己已经吃饱后,才可以与其他吃饱的人聊天。
The entire processis quite sad, whom the onlypleasureisto look ateatsa lot.
整个过程颇为沉闷,唯一的乐趣就是看谁吃得多。Thisactually is also part of etiquette, eatenare more, morecanexpressoneselfregarding the satisfaction of food the feudal lordarranges, canshowownstrong and braveness.
这其实也是礼仪的一部分,吃的越多,越是能表示自己对于领主安排的食物的满意,同时也能彰显自己的强壮和勇武。
The cookinglevel of St. Hildefamilymaster chefis certainly top, the coalroasted the alligatortail and whitefungusoyster, to steam the chum salmonandliquorto roast the foie gras and creamsalad...... varioustypes of good mealsto chock up the giantlongtable.圣希尔德家族大厨的烹饪水平当然是顶尖的,炭烤鳄尾、白菌牡蛎、清蒸鲑鱼、酒炙鹅肝、奶油沙拉……各种美味佳肴摆满了巨型长桌。
The knife and forkinflatesin the clangour that exudes, peoplewhilemaintainingetiquette, forces in thesefood the bellydiligently.
刀叉膨胀发出的铿锵声中,众人在保持礼仪的同时,努力将这些食物都塞进肚子里。If the maidservantsput on the variegated butterflyto be common, is steppinglithely the footsteps, is changing the cleandinner plateto the peopleunceasingly, is adding the liquorwater.
侍女们如穿花蝴蝶一般,迈着轻盈地脚步,不断给众人换着干净的餐盘,添着酒水。AlthoughColindoes not needtheseordinaryfood the supplementary energy, butlooks at the people who the appetitesurges upward, startsto eat to the heart's content, the maidservanthad changedfourdinner platesforhim.
柯林虽然并不需要这些普通食物来补充能量,但看着食欲高涨的众人,也开始大快朵颐,身后的侍女已经为他换了四次餐盘。Sees the maidservantalsoto preparetooneselfchanges the fifthdinner plate, Colinraps the dinner platefinally, hinted itselfto eat to the full.
见侍女还准备给自己换第五次餐盘,柯林终于敲击餐盘,示意自己吃饱了。NearbyVerahad finished eating, sees thatto say with a smile: „Colin, yourtoday'sappetitegood.”
一旁的薇拉早就已经吃完了,见状笑道:“柯林,你今天胃口挺好的嘛。”„Yes, leaving the northernboundaryis so long, fondly remembersfamily'sfood.”
“是啊,离开北境这么久,还是怀念家里的食物。”Bishop Emeritusalsosounded the dinner plate, puts down the knife and fork, asked: „Viscount, heard that JohnBishop of swancitywas killedbyLucien?”荣休主教也敲响了餐盘,放下刀叉,问道:“子爵阁下,听说天鹅城的约翰主教是被路西恩杀死的?”„Accurate, colluded with the bystanderto plot to murderbyLucien......”
“准确来说,是被路西恩勾结外人谋害的……”Then, Colinthen the matter of swancity, toldwith the peopleselectively.
接下来,柯林便将天鹅城发生的事情,有选择地跟众人讲述了一遍。Naturally, hehas not mentionedthatdie and be reborn„DukeSt. Hilde”, but„mysteriousperson”replaceswithone.
当然,他并没有提到那位死而复生的“圣希尔德公爵”,只是用一个“神秘人”来代替。Mr. Wizardcomes back to lifethismatterto be extremely strangetaking advantage of the corpse, is very difficultto explainclearly . Moreover, Colinreaches the secret cooperationagreementwithMr. Wizardnow, hedoes not wantto cause complications, causes the unnecessarytrouble.觋先生借尸还魂这件事情太过诡异,很难解释清楚,而且,柯林跟觋先生现在算是达成了秘密合作协议,他也不想节外生枝,引起不必要的麻烦。EvenColinalreadythisstrangestsomehid, but the peoplelookedstartledto accommodatein abundance, obviouslyhas not thought that peaksoldier, the husband of CountSchultz, will makethismatterunexpectedly.
即便柯林已经将这最诡异的部分隐藏起来了,但众人还是纷纷面露惊容,显然都没有想到,那位巅峰战士,舒尔茨伯爵的丈夫,竟然会做出这种事。„WishmyLordbrillianceto illuminateJohnBishop, the soul that letscanrest!” After Bishop Emeritushear, the complexionis complex, the lowering the headprayersaid.
“愿吾主的光辉照亮约翰主教,让的灵魂得以安息!”荣休主教听完之后,面色复杂,低头祷告道。Looks atthis, peoplealsoin abundancelowering the headprayer, offered the condolences.
看着这一幕,众人也纷纷低头祷告,表示哀悼。Colincomplexionlooks at the people of devoutprayercomplex, thought that iftheyknow that the lord of brilliance was unable to heartheirprays, is unable to receive their strength of beliefagain, do thesepeoplealsokeepdevout?
柯林面色复杂地看着虔诚祷告的众人,心想,如果他们知道光辉之主早已无法听到他们的祈祷,也无法再接收他们的信仰之力,这些人还会保持虔诚吗?
After the prayerended, the peoplethenstartto chat.
祷告结束后,众人便开始闲聊起来。
The stewardssaw the peopleto use up the full meal, thendirected the maidservantsto provide the dessert.
管家见众人都已经用完了正餐,便指挥侍女们送上甜点。ColinandVeraare sharing various stories of tour of thisRoyal Dragon City, the atmospherebecomesaffablyis gradually harmonious.
柯林和薇拉分享着这一次御龙城之行的各种见闻,气氛逐渐变得舒缓融洽起来。Colinnotices, Joycehas collectedinPrincessJudy the earwhispersto speak, oftenteasesJudygiggleto smile.
只是,柯林注意到,乔伊斯一直凑在朱蒂公主耳边嘀嘀咕咕说着话,不时逗得朱蒂咯咯直笑。ThismakesColinlookmove slightly, heis very curious, thisJoycereallysohits it off well with one anotherwithPrincessJudy, isunder the direction of person with high aspirations, is close to the princessintentionally?
这让柯林神色微动,他很好奇,这位乔伊斯是真的跟朱蒂公主如此投缘,还是在有心人的指点下,故意接近公主?
If the latter......
如果是后者……
The candle on longtablegraduallyburns through, the evening banquetalsoarrived at the last act.
长桌上的蜡烛逐渐燃尽,晚宴也来到了尾声。Veraset outto announce the banquetto end, laterthenheldColin'shandto walkoutward.
薇拉起身宣布宴会结束,随后便挽着柯林的手向外走去。However, in the knighthallentrance, Colinactuallystopped the footsteps, whenMarquis Garciaaftercoming up, said with a smiletoVera: „Youfirstgo back, IchattedtwowithmarquisSir.”
不过,在骑士大厅门口,柯林却停下了脚步,等加西亚侯爵跟上来后,对薇拉笑道:“你先回去,我跟侯爵大人聊两句。”„Good.”Verasmilesgently, immediatelydeparts.
“好。”薇拉温婉一笑,随即离去。Marquis Garcianodsto saytowardColin: „Goes the study roomwithme.”加西亚侯爵朝柯林点了点头道:“跟我去书房吧。”„Good.”
“好。”
