数百顶帐篷、马厩和马车把一片广阔的草地变成了一座巨型营地,营地中除了半精灵贵族和他们的扈从,还有上万名前来观赏狩猎会的平民。
The aristocrat of splendid attireappearance, locks the armorsparkingsoldier, the steed of winning silver and gold medals, child who the in high spiritspeople, run all over the placeeverywhere, recitationPoetroaming of outlandish clothes, goes all out the vaudevilleartist of performance, the flag that the peddler who the rudemercenary, callsloudly, fluttersinnumerablyagainst the wind, composed a vividandsplendidpicture scroll.
盛装打扮的贵族,锁甲闪亮的士兵,披金戴银的骏马,兴高采烈的民众,满地乱跑的儿童,奇装异服的吟游诗人,卖力表演的杂耍艺人,举止粗鲁的佣兵,高声吆喝的小贩,还有无数迎风飘扬的旗帜,组成了一幅生动而精彩的画卷。
The annualhuntingfestival, is the large-scaleholiday that a halfelfclanis in sole possession , is also a rareentertainmentcelebration.
一年一度的狩猎节,是半精灵一族独有的大型节日,也是一场难得的娱乐庆典。Naturally, the high rankknightlikeColinwill definitely not participate in the hunting, after allfiercewild animalbeforehim, is not the competentprey.
当然,像柯林这样的高阶骑士肯定不会参与狩猎,毕竟再凶猛的野兽在他面前,也算不上够资格的猎物。
The mainparticipant of huntingmeeting, islow rankoccupation and apprentices.
狩猎会的主要参与者,还是低阶职业者和学徒们。
After the huntingmeets, martial arts contestcongress.
狩猎会之后,还有比武大会。Actuallyhunts to be only the appetizer, the martial arts contestcongressis the full meal.
其实狩猎会只是开胃菜,比武大会才是正餐。At the martial arts contestcongress, will havetrulyhigh rankoccupationparticipation, theywill show the military force and couragebefore the queen, wonownhonor.
在比武大会上,才会有真正高阶的职业者参与,他们将在女王面前彰显武力和勇气,赢得属于自己的荣誉。Every year the winner of martial arts contestcongresswill be obtainedreward that issuesbyhalfelfqueenpersonally- treasured sword, armorandsteed, eventitle.
每年比武大会的优胜者都会得到由半精灵女王亲自颁发的奖励-宝剑、铠甲、骏马、甚至爵位。
Before this year'smartial arts contestcongress, has the wind sound/rumorto pass on, will say the reward of thismartial arts contestcongress the unprecedentedrichness, will presentmassivetitlerewards.
今年的比武大会之前,就有风声传出来,说这次比武大会的奖励将会史无前例的丰厚,甚至会出现大量的爵位奖励。Halfelvesbelieve in firmly, becausein the beforehandrebellion, halfelfaristocratcircleencountered a bigclean, massivetitle and government positionvacanciescome out, needsto fill.
半精灵们对此深信不疑,因为在之前的叛乱中,半精灵贵族圈遭遇了一场大清洗,大量的爵位和官职空缺出来,需要进行填补。Therefore, QueenAishais very likelyto take the opportunity of thismartial arts contestcongress, selects the fresh blood, the cultivationis loyal toownperson with newly acquired wealth.
所以,艾莎女王极有可能会利用这次比武大会的机会,选拔新鲜血液,培植忠于自己的新贵。Somesuchanticipation, this year'shuntingbecamein an unprecedented movewill be grand.
有了这样的期待,今年的狩猎会就变得史无前例地隆重了。Almost allhalfelfaristocrats, family that even ifhad been eliminated the title, for examplealfalfacity'sRytterfamily, sent the silversemi-circular protective wall outside the main city gate the knights in family, hopes that theycansomepeoplebe ableto surface, was recognizedby the queen, revives the familyhonor.
几乎所有的半精灵贵族,哪怕是已经被剥夺爵位的家族,比如苜蓿城的吕特家族,也将家族中的骑士派到了银月城,希望他们能有人可以脱颖而出,受到女王的赏识,重振家族荣光。WhenColinandQueenAishaarrive at the reviewing stand, around the conference siteis the sea of people, SiLiguanis recitingQueenAishaandCount Angeliegiven namewith the unusualintonationloudly, is announcingtheirarrival.
当柯林和艾莎女王来到观礼台时,会场周围已是人山人海,司礼官用奇特的声调大声吟诵着艾莎女王和安格列伯爵的名号,宣告着他们的到来。QueenAishais pullingColin'sarmnaturally, halfelfmaidCathy that followsis embracingSylph, mounted the seat of honor of observation platformtogether.
艾莎女王大大方方地挽着柯林的胳膊,身后跟着的半精灵女仆凯茜怀抱着西尔芙,一同登上了观礼席的主位。Halfelfaristocratalong the waysets outin abundancetoQueenAishaandCount Angelieexpresses best wishes, AishaandonColin'sfaceis hanging the impeccablegracefulsmile, nods to doto respond.
沿途的半精灵贵族纷纷起身向艾莎女王和安格列伯爵致意,艾莎和柯林的脸上挂着无可挑剔的优雅微笑,颔首以做回应。Eveninsuchpublic place, QueenAishaunexpectedlystilldisplays to seem like a gentlebeautifulwife, accompaniesin the husbandbodyside.
即便在这样的公众场合,艾莎女王竟然也表现得像是一位温婉美丽的妻子,陪伴在丈夫身侧。PerhapsyesfeltoneselfwithColinrelations, sinceis well-known, thatdoes not needintentionallyto concealagain . Moreover, currenthalfelfkingdom, authority who alsono onedaresto challengeAisha.
或许是觉得自己跟柯林的关系既然已经人尽皆知,那也没必要再刻意隐瞒了,而且,目前的半精灵王国,也没有人敢挑战艾莎的权威。Let alone, at the Sylphphoenixbloodlinespurity, even ifsheis an illegitimate daughter, no onewill say that shebecomes the crown prince of halfelfunqualified.
更何况,以西尔芙的凤凰血脉纯度,哪怕她是私生女,也没人会说她不够资格成为半精灵的王储。

呜-
The team that in the longbugle call, the huntingreturnspresents the forestedgeinnot far awaygradually, is turning toward the reviewing standto speed away.
长号声中,狩猎归来的队伍渐渐出现在不远处的森林边缘,正向着观礼台疾驰而来。„Teacher! Teacher! The Elder Brotherreallyhunted a brown bear!”
“老师!老师!哥哥真的狩猎到了一头棕熊!”Also before withoutarriving instage, Colinhears the sound that PrincessJudyshouted and wrangled, even ifrumble the hoofbeatis unable to cover.
还没到台前,柯林就听到了朱蒂公主大呼小叫的声音,哪怕隆隆的马蹄声都无法掩盖。„Yes!”Colin Station, welcomedwith a smiletoreturninghuntingteam.
“是嘛!”柯林站了起来,笑着迎向归来的狩猎队伍。Harrisonimperial princepushes to the front, naturally to teammostfront row, quicklytoreviewing stand, herestrainshorsereins/bridleadeptly, after slowing down the speed, jumps downfrom the horseback, before the inertiato/clashesseveralsteps, juststopsby the stage, bowsto salute saying:
哈里森皇子一马当先,理所当然地冲在队伍最前列,快到观礼台前时,他娴熟地勒住马缰,放缓速度后从马背上一跃而下,又顺着惯性前冲几步,刚好在台前止住,躬身行礼道:„Yes, Teacher! Pleaseallowmeto give toyouthisglory!”
“是的,老师!请允许我将这一份荣耀献给您!”Properly speaking, today'spreyshouldgive toQueenAisha, butHarrisonimperial princestatus is special, is notto seal/conferofficial of halfelfqueen, no onedares saying that heis impolite.
按理说,今天的猎物应该都献给艾莎女王,但毕竟哈里森皇子身份特殊,并不是半精灵女王的封臣,没人敢说他无礼。Colinlooked atoneby the giantbrown bearcorpse that the flatbeddraws, in the heartreallysomewhatis surprised.
柯林看了一眼被平板车拉过来的巨大棕熊尸体,心中还真有些惊讶。Thinks that ownpredecessorinHarrisonthisage, suchstrengthcannothunt and kill a grownbrown bearprobablyindependently, the talent that it seems likeoneselfthisstudent is really good.
想想自己的前身在哈里森这个年纪,好像都没有这样的实力能独立猎杀一头成年棕熊,看来自己这个学生的天赋还真不错啊。„Verygood!”Colinnodswith a smile, said.
“很好!”柯林笑着点点头,称赞道。Harrisonimperial princeraised the head, on the facehung all over the contentedsmile.
哈里森皇子抬起头来,脸上挂满了自得的笑容。
Before PrincessJudyalsorides the smallcoltto arrive atstageat this time, shoutedto shout: „Teacher, ourrewards?”
朱蒂公主此时也骑着小马驹来到台前,嚷嚷道:“老师,那我们的奖励呢?”Colinbrowselects, asks: „What do youwantto reward?”
柯林眉头一挑,问道:“你们想要什么奖励?”Harrisonimperial princehas not spoken, PrincessJudyshouts: „IwantBeira!”
哈里森皇子还没说话,朱蒂公主就嚷道:“我要贝拉!”Was sayingalsoraises hand the reins, hintingBeiraisthatsmallcolt that sherodea moment ago.
说着还扬了扬手中的缰绳,示意“贝拉”是她刚才骑的那匹小马驹。Thatsmallcoltdoes not digwith the clawpatiently, obviouslydid not haveto be subduedbyPrincessJudycompletely.
那匹小马驹不耐烦地用爪子刨了刨地,显然还没有完全被朱蒂公主收服。Thiscoltis the property of halfelfroyal family, but a colt, Colindoes not even needto inquire aboutAisha, thennodswith a smile, said:
这匹马驹是半精灵王室的财产,但一匹马驹而已,柯林甚至都不用过问艾莎,便笑着点点头,道:„Sure, thisisitsbeing honored. However, youmustmakeyourservantfeedcarefully, thisBeirayoung lady'stemperament is not quite as if good.”
“当然可以,这是它的荣幸。不过,你得让你的仆人小心喂养,这位贝拉小姐的脾气似乎不太好。”„Iwill feedBeirapersonally!”PrincessJudyholds in the arms the neck of smallcolt, snow whitesmall handaffectionateflexure the horseneck, is seeming likebyflexureto the itchyplace, the smallcoltsends outunexpectedlycomfortablyrumblesound.
“我会亲自喂养贝拉的!”朱蒂公主搂住小马驹的脖子,雪白的小手亲昵地挠着马脖子,似乎是被挠到了痒处,小马驹竟发出舒服的咕噜声。PrincessJudychuckledimmediately.
朱蒂公主顿时咯咯笑了起来。Colinlooks atherdarlingappearance, smiled, laterturns the headto looktoHarrisonimperial prince, asked: „Harrison, what do youwantto reward?”
柯林看着她憨态可掬的模样,也笑了起来,随后转头看向哈里森皇子,问道:“哈里森,你要什么奖励?”Harrisonimperial princehesitant, the visionlooked at a reviewing standsecretly, thenshrinksimmediately, said: „Teacher, yourapprovalto meis the bestreward.”
哈里森皇子犹豫了一下,目光偷瞄了一眼观礼台,然后又立刻缩了回来,道:“老师,您的认可对我来说就是最好的奖励。”Colindoes not needthenalsoto know, Harrisonimperial princea moment agosecretlylookeddefinitelyisownhalfelfmaidCathy.
柯林不用回头也知道,刚才哈里森皇子偷瞄的肯定是自己的半精灵女仆凯茜。Butis goodbecause ofhisalsoa littlediscretion, does not dareto demandCathyinsuchsituationtoColin.
但好在他还有点分寸,没敢在这样的场合向柯林索要凯茜。Afterward, Colinthenreturns to the seat, makingotherhalfelfaristocratsoffer the preytoQueenAisha.
随后,柯林便回到座位上,让其余的半精灵贵族向艾莎女王献上猎物。Waitsto offer a gift, the longbugle horn soundresounds through the reviewing standagain.
等献礼完毕,长长的号角声再次响彻观礼台。
The knight who twoare riding the bigwarhorsewalked slowly and aimlesslyslowly the arena, the martial arts contestcongress of being a focus of public attentionopenedofficially.
两名骑着高大战马的骑士缓缓踱上赛场,万众瞩目的比武大会正式拉开了帷幕。Meanwhile, an aidehalf steparrives in front ofColin, the reportsaid:
与此同时,一位侍从快步来到柯林面前,汇报道:„Queen, CountSir, the easternboundaryenvoyseeks an interviewoutside.”
“女王陛下,伯爵大人,东境使者在外求见。”Colinsmileslightly, said: „Comesjust right, askinghimto appreciatethismartial arts contestcongresstogether.”
柯林淡淡一笑,道:“来得正好啊,请他一同来欣赏这场比武大会吧。”„Yes!”
“是!”Soon, the fee/spentthenarrived at the reviewing standbecause of the viscountunderaide'sleadership.
不多时,费因子爵便在侍从的带领下来到了观礼台。„CountSir, Queen!”
“伯爵大人,女王陛下!”
The fee/spentsalutesto the masterbecause of the viscountrespectfully.
费因子爵恭恭敬敬地向主人行礼。Colinfromtakes back the visioncompared with the martial stageon, is saying with a smile: „Feebecause of the viscount, was laborious, might as wellfirstwatch the martial arts contestcongress.”
柯林从比武场上收回目光,笑着道:“费因子爵,一路辛苦了,不如先观看比武大会吧。”„Good.” The fee/spentnods to saybecause of the viscount, buthas not actually taken a seat, butcontinues saying that „queen, oureasternboundariesalsoprepared a bigritualfor the winner of thismartial arts contestcongress.”
“好。”费因子爵点头应道,但却没有入座,而是继续道,“女王陛下,我们东境也为这次比武大会的优胜者准备了一份大礼。”QueenAishastaresslightly, thennarrows the eyeto looktothisyoungeasternboundaryviscount, saidlightly:
艾莎女王微微一愣,然后才眯着眼睛看向这位年轻的东境子爵,淡淡道:„Feeyouhad a mindbecause of the viscount, but, the subject of east halfelf, has not needed the boundaryto reward.”
“费因子爵您有心了,不过,半精灵的臣民,还不需要东境来奖励。”Properly speaking, the mastershave spokenrejected, the guest should also give way before difficulties.
按理说,主人都已经明言拒绝了,客人也应该知难而退。Butspentbecause of the viscountactuallypattedclapping, makingretinue who followedbehindfromholding a knightsword, said:
但费因子爵却拍了拍手,让身后跟着的扈从捧出一柄骑士剑,道:„Your majestydoes not needto consider thoroughly, thisis onlyeast the boundarysmallintention.”
“陛下不必多虑,这只是东境的一点小心意而已。”Colinhad not cared, whenhisvisionseesthatknightsword, grippedinstantaneouslytightened the fist.
柯林本来没在意,当他的目光看到那柄骑士剑时,瞬间攥紧了拳头。Because, herecognizedthatknightsword-
因为,他认出了那柄骑士剑-Marquis Garciasaber!
正是加西亚侯爵的佩剑!
