The waiting, is a longmatter, in the meantime, raspinganxious.
等待,是一件如此漫长的事,同时,也让人焦躁不安。
The bell of imperial palaceatticsounded12, however, inspaciousimperial palacediscussing politicshall, has not seenotherElector Countformsas before. Only thenEmperorLuitpoldandMaximiliantwo peoplesit there talk in whispers, as ifwill talk about the topicnotabout the forthcomingBarbarianinvasion. Butissomedaily life, pettyminor matter.
皇宫顶楼的大钟敲响了十二下,然而,宽敞的皇宫议政厅内,依旧没有看到其他选帝侯的身影。只有皇帝路易伯德和马克西米安两人坐在那里窃窃私语,似乎聊得话题也不是关于即将到来的蛮族入侵。而是一些日常生活,鸡毛蒜皮的小事。Ailiruyacould not somewhat have borne——艾莉瑞雅已经有些受不了了——Shewantsto set outto urgeEmperorseveraltimes, was pressedto sitbyRod.
她几次欲起身催促皇帝,又被罗德强摁着坐了下来。Finally, after twohour, firstElector CountexcludingMaximilianentered the imperial palace.
终于,两个小时后,除马克西米安之外的第一位选帝侯走进了皇宫。„Constantine. WessonleadsElector Count.”
“康斯坦丁。维森领选帝侯。”Maximilianintroduced. However, even ifMaximiliandid not say,Rod can still guess correctly the status of opposite party. Notbecause ofother, becauseonlythatwearingin the Runesword of waist. Rodhas seen the MaximilianRunesword, thatis not the commonweapon. Butis the weapon that EmpireElector Countis in sole possession, is the symbol of statusandposition. Only thenElector Countcanhaveit. Every timehas the oneselfname and history the Runesword, butWessongets the namedblood of tooth of Runeto cause. The swordbladehiddenunder the magnificentscabbard, Rodcould not see, but the sword hiltis clearly discernible. All over the bodycreamy white, the tooth of legendRuneis made of the sword hilt the tooth and bone of Dragon, althoughdoes not know whether the legendis true, butitsmagnificentdegree can actually see.马克西米安介绍到。但是,即便马克西米安不说,罗德也可以猜出对方的身份。不因为别的,只因为那把佩戴在腰间的符文剑。罗德见过马克西米安的符文剑,那不是一般的武器。而是帝国选帝侯独有的武器,是身份和地位的象征。只有选帝侯可以拥有它。每把符文剑都有自己的名字和历史,而维森领符文之牙的名为血使。剑刃隐藏在华丽的剑鞘之下,罗德看不到,但是剑柄却清晰可见。通体乳白,传说符文之牙用巨龙的牙齿和骨头制成剑柄,虽然不知道传说是否属实,但是其华丽程度却是可以一眼看到的。„MyEmperor.”
“我的皇帝。”Constantinemakes a fistsingle-handed, bows the headto salute. Alsowithout the lineoneselfwas blockedbyEmperor.
康斯坦丁单手握拳,俯首行礼。还没行完就被皇帝本人拦了下来。„Did not use the trouble.”
“不用麻烦了。”Luitpoldspoke, hisvisionshifted toConstantinebehindlittle girl——路易伯德说到,他的目光转向了康斯坦丁身后的小女孩——„Emmanuel, come, makingmehave a look, long was so high.”
“艾曼纽尔,来,让我看看,都长这么高了。”
The little girlsmove towardEmperorshyly, on the cheek of being childishbringtwoinsightfulcrimson.
小女孩羞涩的走向皇帝,稚气未脱的脸蛋上带着两片通透的绯红。Canbe able to seethatis the Elector Countmost importantfamily member, otherwisenottime zoneinside.
可以看得出那是选帝侯最重要的亲人,否则不会时刻带在身边。„Youhave not comeAltdorffor a long time, Karlis often talking overyou.”
“你已经许久没来阿尔道夫了,卡尔可是经常念叨着你。”Luitpoldcracks a joke. Stirs up the little girl unable to withstandshyly. Shesince the puberty, among the relationsregardingmale and femalefriendshas known12evidently. Cannotlike the childhoodunrestrained and boyplays. PlaymateKarl when regardingyoung, maintainedcertaindistance. Perhapsyoungshedoes not understandamong the people of father's generation„friendshipinheritance”. Marrying between royal familyaristocratsis the commonmatter, therefore, iflives in the toppersonto be good to you, mostlyhasothergoals.路易伯德开玩笑到。惹得小女孩更是羞涩不堪。看样子她已经进入青春期,对于男女朋友之间的关系已经知晓一二。再也不能像小时候那样无拘无束的和男孩子玩耍。对于年幼时的玩伴卡尔,更是保持了一定的距离。只是,年幼的她或许不明白父辈之间的“友谊传承”。王室贵族之间的联姻是常有之事,所以,若是一个身居高位的人对你好,大多有其他目的。„He...... is hegood?”
“他……他还好吧?”Emmanuelis shyasking.
艾曼纽尔羞涩着问到。„...... Fortunately......”
“……还好……”Luitpoldstopped, teasedimmediately——路易伯德停顿了一下,立马打趣到——„Youcanlook forhim, heverythinks ofyour. Ifthatbratdaresto bullyyou, toldme.”
“你可以去找找他,他可是挺想念你的。那个臭小子要是敢欺负你,就告诉我。”Luitpoldsets a threateningappearance. OnEmmanuel'sfaceshowed the lightsmile.路易伯德做出一副气势汹汹的样子。艾曼纽尔的脸上则露出了淡淡的微笑。„False.”
“虚伪。”SitssideRod, Ailiruyais whisperingin a low voice.
坐在罗德身边,艾莉瑞雅低声嘀咕着。Rod can only signal with the eyestoher, Elfdisdainshas turned head.罗德只能对她使眼色,精灵则不屑的扭过头去。
The nextsecond, Emperorstartedwarmly the intermediate, getsElector CountConstantineto introducethisfromremotenorthernally——toIvy
下一秒,皇帝热情的做起了中间人,向艾维领选帝侯康斯坦丁介绍起这位来自遥远北方的盟友——„RodLowen. KislevArchduke, protects the countryDuke, NorthGreat Lord......”
“罗德・劳恩。基斯里夫大公爵,护国公,北境大领主……”Luitpoldalsowantsto introduce that moretitles, was actually brokenbyConstantine.路易伯德还想介绍更多的头衔,却被康斯坦丁打断了。„Ihave heardyou.”
“我听说过你。”Hespoke. Loud-voiced, a completenot likegetting oldmiddle-aged person.
他说到。声音洪亮,完全不像一个上了年纪的中年人。„VampireruledKislev, is you are defeatedher. The peopleworshipyou, KislevSavior.”
“吸血鬼统治了基斯里夫,是你将她打败。民众崇拜你,基斯里夫的拯救者。”„Savioris far from. Withoutme, Katarinsamewill be overthrown, is only the timeissue.”
“拯救者谈不上。没有我,卡特琳娜一样会被推翻,只是时间问题。”Rodsmilesis replying——罗德微笑着回答——„The hardship of peoplecannot be solved, whomakesTzar, samewill lag behind the stage.”
“民众的疾苦得不到解决,谁做沙皇,都一样会被拉下台。”„Pavirsat the throne, hopes that hecansolvetheseproblems.”
“帕维尔坐上了皇位,希望他可以解决这些问题。”Voice of Constantinelow and deep. Fromhisprofoundvision, Rodhas been ableto feelthese words is not simple, althoughplacesoutside the thousand li (500 km), Elector Count that butWessonleadsseems liketo the current political situation in neighboring countryhas the view and idea of oneselfturbulently.
康斯坦丁的声音低沉了起来。从他深邃的目光中,罗德已经可以感受到这番话并不简单,虽然身处千里之外,但是维森领的选帝侯看起来对邻国的时局动荡有着自己的看法和想法。„Weshouldbelieve the yearsfamily member.”
“我们应该相信年亲人。”Rodreturnswith a smile.罗德笑着回到。„Yes, the worldwill bethemfinally, ourspirits, belief, gloryandknowledge, will inheritinthem. For examplemy children.”
“是啊,世界终将属于他们,我们的精神和、信仰、荣耀与知识,也将传承于他们。例如我的孩子们。”Constantinenarrows the eyeto speak.
康斯坦丁眯起眼睛说到。Rodknows that inthismiddle-agedlogical expressionhas the words, the powerhousewill leave the children the bestresources, Constantine the bestresourceswill leave the oneselfchildren, makingfamily'spower and influencebe ableto inherit...... Rodto know that heactuallyimpliedoneself, implied that oneselfonlydaughterDanniswill also obtainthisinheritance. Althoughplacesoutside the thousand li (500 km), but who Constantinehas known the Kislevtrueleaderis.罗德知道这位中年人话中有话,强者都会将最好的资源留给子女,康斯坦丁将最好的资源留给自己的儿女,让家族的权势得以传承……罗德知道他其实暗指自己,暗指自己唯一的女儿丹尼斯也会获得这份传承。虽然身处千里之外,但是康斯坦丁早已知晓基斯里夫真正的领导者是谁。Whenchatting, the main hallentrancetransmittedoneding-dongding-dong the sound of footsteps.
正当闲聊之时,大殿门口传来了一阵叮咚叮咚的脚步声。
The man of leadwears a lionfur coat, justentered the main hallthento take off the coat, putsin the aidehand, revealsto put on insidevelvetsilklong gown, the goldenchainshas hung down the waistfrom the shoulder, on the thickfingerwears a giganticruby. Althoughinindoor, is unable to concealitsdazzlingbrilliance.
领头的男人穿着一件狮皮大衣,刚进大殿便将外套脱了下来,放到侍从手中,露出穿在里面的天鹅绒丝质长袍,黄金锁链从肩膀一直垂挂到腰间,粗大的手指上佩戴有一枚硕大的红宝石。虽然在室内,也无法掩饰其耀眼的光辉。Just likeMaximilianandConstantine, the manwaistis wearingtooth of the sameRune. Without a doubt, this is also EmpireElector Count. Just, hishigh-sounding talkmagnificentpresencereallyappealingeyeball.
和马克西米安、康斯坦丁一样,男人腰间佩戴着一把同样的符文之牙。毫无疑问,这也是一位帝国的选帝侯。只不过,其高调华丽的出场着实吸引人的眼球。„Marius WrightDofe. IvyleadsElector Count.”
“马吕斯・莱特多夫。艾维领选帝侯。”Maximiliancontinuesto introduce.马克西米安继续介绍到。Surrounded byaide, thisproudGreat Lordmoved towardEmperor. Althoughresponds with the standardsimilarly the etiquette, butfromhisvision, Rodreadwithdisdainingarrogant.
在侍从的簇拥下,这位骄傲的大领主走向了皇帝。虽然同样报以规范的礼仪,但是从他的目光中,罗德读到了傲慢与不屑。„Iheard the newsto come, however, tonot contestwith the barbarian, but was too longhas not seenyou, Luitpold, myhonoredEmperor, my brother.”
“我听到消息就来了,然而,不是为了和野蛮人过过招,而是太久没见到你了,路易伯德,我尊贵的皇帝,我的兄弟。”Marius the head, is speaking ofloudly, big of sound, the entiremain hallis reverberating the voice of thisman.
马吕斯昂着脑袋,大声说到,声音之大,以至于整座大殿都回荡着这个男人的声音。„That, youcertainlyareRodLowen.”
“那么,你一定就是罗德・劳恩了。”Marius is almost speakingwithRodwith the affirmativetone.
马吕斯几乎是用肯定的语气在跟罗德说话。Hasflash that Rodcannot bearhisarrogance and arrogance. Butendured, slightly nodded.
有那么一瞬间,罗德受不了他的傲慢与自大。但还是忍了下来,微微点了点头。„Can barbarianinvadeEmpire? Moreoverfrom the sea? Thisismy first heard.”
“野蛮人要入侵帝国了吗?而且还是从海上?这可是我头一回听说。”Mariussaid,laughedwithout consulting anybodygot up——
马吕斯说完,径自哈哈大笑了起来——„Sorry, Ido not intendto offendto suspectyou, but, Norscandoes not pass throughKislev, intrudes onEmpiredirectly, thisisfirsthearing. Reallyunthinkable.”
“抱歉,我并非有意冒犯怀疑你们,只是,诺斯卡人不经过基斯里夫,直接进犯帝国,这还是第一次听到。真是匪夷所思。”„Strange tales and absurd arguments? Madeyoufeel that the surprisedmatterare many.”
“奇谈怪论是吗?令你们感到惊奇的事还多着。”Ailiruyacould not bear, clamoredtoarrogantElector Count. Made that EmperorLuitpoldis awkward. Essentially, Ailiruyais the guest who heinvited, butthentohavingElector Count of real powerreallyhadto disrespect.艾莉瑞雅忍不住了,冲着傲慢的选帝侯叫嚣到。弄得皇帝路易伯德一脸尴尬。本质上来说,艾莉瑞雅是他请来的客人,但是这下对拥有实权的选帝侯可是真有不敬了。Howeverseems likeMariusnot to mind,perhapswasseesElfthisattractivecheek, the angerdisappearedall of a suddenmost probably.
但是看上去马吕斯并不介意,或许是看到精灵这张漂亮的脸蛋,怒火一下子消了大半。„Yousaidactually, what surprisedmatterbut alsothere is?”
“你倒是说说,还有什么惊奇之事?”Mariusis staring atAiliruya, askedwith a smile.
马吕斯盯着艾莉瑞雅,笑着问到。„And others were in attendance, Iwill tellyou. Thisall the wayourstories. Reallycannot wait, askssoldiers who theseandIstart offtogether, theywill also tellyou.”
“等你们的人都到齐了,我会告诉你们。这一路上我们的见闻。实在等不及,问问那些和我一起上路的士兵们,他们也会告诉你的。”„Crazysoldier, withWood Elf, enters the boundlessnorthern continent, but alsometfrostDragonandMammoth. Reallycrazy.”
“疯狂的士兵,跟着一个木精灵,进入茫茫北方大陆,还遇到了冰霜巨龙和猛犸象。真是疯狂。”„Has not arrivedcompared withthiscrazymatter, soon, youwill see. Moreover, the strength of mortalis unable to resistthisstormfinally.”
“比这疯狂的事还没到来,不久之后,你们就会看到。而且,凡人的力量终将无法抵御这场风暴。”
The Rodcalloussoundbroke the Elector CountMarius'sarrogantwords. The presentatmospheretends to the freezing pointimmediately......罗德冷酷的声音打断了选帝侯马吕斯傲慢的话语。现在的气氛顿时趋于冰点……
