„Thisisourresponsibility and duties!”
“这是我们的责任和义务!”Theodericraised a hue and cried.狄奥多里克大声疾呼到。„, Pulls out the spatialpocketfor the war of nihility is also ourduty?”
“那么,为虚无的战争掏空口袋也是我们的义务吗?”TodBullingerrebutted with sarcasm.
托德布林格反唇相讥。
The conferenceprogressesnow, Rodhas known that workedagaindoes not have the result. In addition the organizationallied armiesare so strenuous, letseachElector Countinvestmentmilitary expensesnot to mention. Nordlandtakes the northernbigprovince, firstfacingNorscaBarbarian, is naturally willingto take out money the person. HoweversouthernseveralElector Countare not willingto offer the oneselfstrengthfree of charge. So-calledEmpire, unitestruly, butchatsseveral times. Most of the time, let aloneunites, the civil waris the frequentmatter.
会议进展到现在,罗德已经知道再进行下去也毫无结果了。组织联军尚且那么费力,更别提让各个选帝侯出资军费。诺德领作为北方大省,第一个面对诺斯卡蛮族,自然愿意掏钱出人。但是南方的几个选帝侯根本不愿意无偿奉献自己的力量。所谓帝国,真正团结起来的,不过聊聊数次。大多数时候,别说团结,内战都是经常的事。Rodonlyfeelssomewhatexhaustedly, does not wantto listen tothisgroup of peopleto ramble onagain, thenset outwithout consulting anybody, left the main hall. Emperorwantsto keephim, butalsohas the atmosphereconcerned about the oneselfstatus, does not facilitatedetainspersonally.罗德只觉得有些疲惫,不想再听这帮人瞎扯下去,便径自起身,离开了大殿。皇帝本想留他,但是碍于自己的身份还有现场的气氛,不方便亲自挽留。Untilgoes out of the front door, Rod can also hearmain hallthatnoisydisputesound.
直到走出大门,罗德还能听到大殿那嘈杂的争执声。Just like before Maximilian , said that except forelectingEmperor, the EmpireElector Countmomentcannotsitto discusstrulywell a matterandreaches the agreement. ButevenelectsEmperorsuchimportant matter, most of the timestillelectedsecretly. So-calledEmperor, butis various interestscompetes forfrom now oncompromise.
正如马克西米安之前所说的,除了选举皇帝,帝国的选帝侯们从来没有一刻可以真正坐下来好好商讨一件事并达成共识的。而即便是选举皇帝这样的大事,大多数时候也是暗地里就选好了的。所谓皇帝,不过是各方利益争夺过后的妥协物而已。
Everyone is thinkingearnestly the respectivebenefit, was sayingmagnificentliterary flourishes, is actually taking advantageoneselfat heart. The barbariansinvadeevenbecomeEmpirebigLordsto compete for the right the chip...... for examplemostto worry that informationto becometrueNordlandElector CountTheoderic, was raising a hue and cryingEmpiremustunite, organizing the regimentto deploy troops for defensealong the coastline. However, southernElector Countactuallyexhibits an attitude of standing and remaining aloof from the thing of no immediate concern to oneself, eventaunted the timidnessandspiritless of Theoderic, was scaredbyonegroup of barbarians......
每个人都埋头想着各自的利益,说着华丽的辞藻,心里却打着自己的算盘。野蛮人入侵甚至成为了帝国大领主们争夺权利的筹码……例如最担心情报成真的诺德领选帝侯狄奥多里克,大声疾呼着帝国要团结,组织军团沿海岸线布防。然而,南方的选帝侯却摆出一副事不关己高高挂起的态度,甚至嘲讽狄奥多里克的胆小和懦弱,被一群蛮子吓破了胆……Complies with a militarywith great difficulty, meaning, discussed the issue of military expenses...... without a doubt, MariusandConstantinedo not wantto bearthisexpense, the Norscaninvasionandtheynottoobigconnection. Nordlandwill blockthem...... thisiseveryone'sidea......
好不容易答应出点兵力,意思一下,又谈论起军费的问题……毫无疑问,马吕斯和康斯坦丁并不想承担这笔费用,诺斯卡人入侵和他们并没有太大的关联。诺德领会挡住他们……这是所有人的想法……As the distinguished guest, Rod can only watch criticallythisclumsy mischief-doerscene, is actually incapable ofreversinganything. After all, thisis the Empireinternalmatter......
作为贵宾,罗德只能冷眼旁观这跳梁小丑般的一幕,却无力扭转什么。毕竟,这是帝国内部的事……
The air outside palaceis fresh, butmuddy. The marblefloorandslummuck that conditioneverywherein the squarepuresuch aswashformed the sharpcontrast. Altdorf, under the livelyrepresentationcontains the countlesscrises. Rodknows,comparesinvadesin the barbarian, Chaosriseslike this bigevent, the Empireinternalcorruption and erosionarefatal. Itlikeplague, ambushing, ambushing, slowlyinfection, thenstronglyeruption.
宫殿外的空气是清新的,但又是浑浊的。广场上洁净如洗的大理石地板和贫民窟粪土满地的状况形成了鲜明的对比。阿尔道夫,繁华的表象下蕴藏着数不尽的危机。罗德知道,相比于野蛮人入侵,混沌崛起这样的大事件,帝国内部的腐败和糜烂才是更致命的。它就像瘟疫,潜伏着,潜伏着,慢慢感染,而后集中爆发。„Sir, Sir, pleasehold your steps.”
“大人,大人,请留步。”WhileRod in the Altdorfstreettakes a walkis in a daze, heard a rapidfrontline propagandasound.
正当罗德在阿尔道夫的街道中散步发呆的时候,身后传来了一阵急促的喊话声。Guardvigilanceplaceson the hand the sword hilt, is staring atthisstrangeman. However, the strangeris very tactful, standsbeyondbeing away from the Rod about tenmeterssafe distance. Hewears the blackvelvetmagnificent dress, the chest frontwears the pure goldgembrooch. Embroiders the gold/metalsilk fabricscloakto buckleon the snap rings of twoshoulders, naturallydangles, looks has the graceful bearing of Empirearistocrat. Naturally, heindeedis an aristocrat......
卫兵警觉的将手放在剑柄上,盯着这位陌生的男子。然而,陌生人很识趣,站在距离罗德大约十米开外的安全距离外。他穿着黑色的天鹅绒华服,胸前佩戴纯金宝石胸针。绣金绸缎披风扣在两肩的扣环上,自然垂下,看上去颇有帝国贵族的风姿。当然,他的确是一名贵族……„RespectableLord Rod, yes, Ithink that Ishouldnot have the admitting mistakesperson. YouaregreatKislevNorthGreat Lord. Iheardyourdeeds, youlead the Kislevperson in hopeless situationto resist the Norscatribe, resistsGreenskinOrc, but alsooverthrewbloodyVampireQueen......”
“尊敬的罗德领主,是的,我想我应该没有认错人。您就是伟大的基斯里夫北境大领主。我听说了您的事迹,您带领着绝境中的基斯里夫人抵抗诺斯卡部落,抵抗绿皮兽人,还推翻了血腥的吸血鬼女王……”„Whattoldmeyou to say?”
“告诉我你想要说什么?”
The Empirearistocratwordstold only half that was brokenbyRoddirectly. Anyaristocratwill not speak the idle talkwith no reason at all, can look atthiselegant bearing, the well-dressedmiddle-aged manhad the words to say. Butdoes not begin the eulogy of suchsmalltalk.帝国贵族话说到一半就被罗德直接打断了。任何贵族不会无缘无故说废话,看得出来这位风度翩翩,衣着整齐的中年男子有话要说。但绝不是开场这样客套的赞词。„............ Is sorry...... Great Lord. Canborrow a stepspeech?”
“哦……哦……抱歉……大领主。可以借一步说话吗?”
The menmade a gracefulmovement. The guardswantto drive awayhimto walk, butRodwalkeddirectly. At presentthismandoes not have the hostility . Moreover, onhimhas not carried a weapon. The keenpower of observationmadeRodunderstand clearlyhim, onlythought that thispersonwas not simple, was noton the body, butwasin the motive.
男人做出了一个优雅的动作。卫兵本想驱赶他走,但是罗德直接走了过去。眼前这个男人毫无敌意,而且,他身上没有携带一件武器。敏锐的观察力让罗德洞悉了他,只觉得这个人不简单,不是身体上的,而是动机上的。
The Empirearistocratalwayslooks down upon the Kislevperson, thinks that theyare the northernbarbarian, the truecivilizedstateinEmpire, Kislevin their eyesat bestis an ajarnationality. However, thisclothesare neat, the courtesyproperEmpirearistocrat, actually is so full of the respecttoKislevLord, so the awe, thiscannot help butmadeRodproduce for severalpointsto understandhisinterest.帝国的贵族从来都看不起基斯里夫人,认为他们不过是北方的蛮子,真正的文明国度在帝国,基斯里夫在他们眼中充其量就是一个半开化的民族。然而,这位衣冠整洁、礼数到位的帝国贵族,却对基斯里夫领主如此充满尊重,如此敬畏,这不由得让罗德产生了几分了解他的兴趣。„RespectableKislevNorthGreat Lord, mynamewasresponsibilityStarrCarterFarrBrandiOtto. Canmeetyouhappilyhere. In fact, Icontinuouslyinyou.”
“尊敬的基斯里夫北境大领主,我的名字叫荷斯塔尔卡特法尔布兰迪奥托。很高兴能在这里遇见你。事实上,我一直都在等您呢。”
The words of aristocratmadeRodhave the strong interest in him. Is a Empirearistocrat, waiting forKislevLord? Since the ancient times, only then the KislevaristocratrunstowardEmpire, never having the Empirearistocratto runKislevto run. Does thisaristocratsoesteemoneself, where the goal? Rodtakes a look athimwith an unusualvision. But the aristocratdoes not evadethisnorthLordvision.
贵族的话让罗德对他产生了更加浓厚的兴趣。一个帝国的贵族,在等候一个基斯里夫领主?自古以来,只有基斯里夫贵族往帝国跑,从来没有帝国的贵族跑基斯里夫跑。这个贵族如此推崇自己,目的何在?罗德用一种异样的目光打量他。而贵族毫不避讳这位北方领主的目光。„I?”
“等我?”Asking that Rodteased.罗德打趣的问到。„Is......”BrandiOttoswallowed, is without turning a hairto speak, „Ido not beat around the bush, Great Lord, Iknow that your time the goal of arriving atAltdorf, knew the result of conference.”
“是的……”布兰迪奥托吞咽了一下,面不改色说到,“我就不绕弯子了,大领主,我知道您此次来到阿尔道夫的目的,也知道会议的结果了。”„Conference? How do youknow?”
“会议?你是怎么知道的?”„Youhavenot to know, here, without the matter that moneycannot accomplish.”
“您有所不知,在这里,没有钱办不到的事。”BrandiOttohas not said,Rodhas understood the general idea. Bribesandpries, thisinEmpirewas the normalmatter. Just, will be inquiredincluding the sohigh-levelconference, the conceivablethiscountryhasis decayedanddim...... perhaps, thisconferenceat all is notanything...... thinks ofherein the Empirehigh-leveleye, Rod cannot help but sighingat heart.
布兰迪奥托还没说完,罗德已经明白大概了。行贿、刺探,这在帝国是再正常不过的事了。只不过,连如此高层的会议都会被打探到,可以想象这个国家是有多么腐朽和昏暗……又或许,这次会议在帝国高层眼里根本不算什么……想到这里,罗德不由得在心里叹了口气。„Do not besurprised, Great Lord. Ilivesince childhoodhere, has been unalarmed by strange sightstothismatter. Likemesaid that a moment ago, Inot onlyknowyouattend the conference, but alsoknows that the conferencedoes not have the result.”
“不要感到意外,大领主。我从小生活在这里,对这种事已经见怪不怪。就像我刚才说的,我不仅知道您来参加会议,还知道会议没有结果。”„Conferenceis still held.”Rodemphasized.
“会议还在进行。”罗德强调到。„Butitis fruitless.”BrandiOttosincere, „, because, here, without the matter of benefit, cannot discuss the result.”
“但是它是没有结果的。”布兰迪奥托正色到,“因为,在这里,没有利益的事,是讨论不出结果的。”
The words of aristocratmakeRodfeel that passes the heartto be cool. Indeed, a few wordssummarize the Empirestatus quo.
贵族的话让罗德感到一股透心凉。的确,一句话总结出了帝国目前的现状。„This is also Iseeksyourreason.”
“这也是我找您的原因。”BrandiOttospreads out the handto speak.
布兰迪奥托摊开手说到。
