Athena in high spirits went home. 阿西娜兴高采烈的回家去了。 After the moment, Renn returns to the furnace temple alone, comes to see Elder Titan to sit on that big stone chair, but has not studied the giant ancient book, has not maintained the giant furnace under hall ground, but is color of the face ponder. 片刻后,雷恩独自返回熔炉圣殿,一进来就看见泰坦长老又坐在那张高大的石椅上,不过没有研究巨人典籍,也没有维护大厅地面下的巨大熔炉,而是一脸沉思之色。 He hears the foot sound step, raising the head to see is Renn, on the face shows the smile immediately. 他听见脚声步,抬头看到是雷恩,脸上顿时露出笑容。 „Renn, comes quickly.” “雷恩,快过来。” Solim does not know where put out set with the furniture that titan bluesteel casts, the size suits the human the build, moreover is the empire popular style, on the table exhibits the tea set and dessert, very warm entertainment said: „We sit down the speech.” 索里姆不知从哪里拿出了一整套用泰坦蓝铁铸成的桌椅,尺寸适合人类的体形,而且是帝国流行的风格,桌上摆出茶具和点心,很热情招待道:“我们坐下说话。” Renn somewhat feels extremely flattered. 雷恩有些受宠若惊。 This is powerful Demigod, the strength is possibly stronger than the teacher, is on par sufficiently before death Grandmaster Auglevey, the mortal the world's peak powerhouse. 这可是一位强大的半神,实力可能比老师更强,足以比肩生前的奥古勒维大师,凡人世界最顶尖的强者。 „Elder was polite.” “长老客气了。” Renn honest sits down in the table, facing in Elder Titan. 雷恩老老实实的在桌边坐下,面对在泰坦长老。 Solim of dignified middle-aged person appearance, the golden hair is hanging loose at will, gathers to short, the skin just like the bronze, the body is only throwing over a simple and elegant white robe, ties a belt to tie up with one in the waist, reveals the sturdy arm and both feet. 威严中年人模样的索里姆,金发随意披散着,蓄有短须,皮肤犹如青铜,身上只披着一层素雅白袍,用一条束带绑在腰间,露出粗壮的手臂与双脚。 Anybody sees him, can feel the God aura. 任何人见到他,都能感受到神祗般的气息。 If the average person, even is unable to come to a stop before him. 如果是普通人,甚至无法在他面前站稳。 Renn could not bear with soul eyes observes to sit quietly in opposite Elder Titan, as expected, observed the Saint Soul wizard situation to be similar to oneself, the soul of opposite party just like round dazzling scorching sun, even by a fuzzy isolation, can still feel the terrifying the mighty force. 雷恩忍不住用灵魂之眼悄悄观察了一下坐在对面的泰坦长老,不出所料,跟自己观察圣魂巫师的情况差不多,对方的灵魂犹如一轮刺目的烈日,即使被一层模糊隔绝,依然能感受到恐怖的伟力。 Now like does not receive to backlash initially. 如今已不像当初那样受到反噬了。 He is unable to see through the soul details, but can roughly judge the mood of opposite party from the color. 他无法看穿灵魂底细,但可以从颜色大致判断对方的情绪。 At this time, the Elder Titan soul color is the tranquil white, is mixing with the little light green colors, explained that his mood is very good, as if has what celebration. 此时,泰坦长老的灵魂颜色呈平静的白色,夹杂着少许的淡绿之色,说明他的心情很愉快,似乎有什么喜事。 Renn feels relieved, without the evil intention is good. 雷恩放心下来,只要没有恶意就好。 Solim seems like a hospitable neighbor uncle, poured out two cups of tea personally, one cup floats floats to Renn in front. 索里姆像是一个好客的邻居大叔,亲自斟了两杯茶,一杯浮漂到雷恩面前。 „Thanks.” Renn said in a soft voice. “谢谢。”雷恩轻声道。 „Drinks quickly.” Solim introduced: „This is Qingyan that Elven Race delivers, every year the output only has several pounds, supplies the high elf royal family's treasure especially. In my hand does not have many, occasionally with tastes, must drink the taste to be best before it's too late.” “快喝吧。”索里姆介绍道:“这是精灵族产出的‘青岩’,每年产量仅有几磅,特供给高等精灵王族的珍品。我手里也没多少,偶尔拿出来尝一尝,必须趁热喝滋味最好。” Elder Titan carries another cup of tea, tosses down, the straightforward appearance seems like drinking. 泰坦长老端起另一杯茶,一饮而尽,豪爽的样子像是在喝酒。 Renn is studying him, the boiling hot tea enters the throat. 雷恩学着他,滚烫的茶水入喉。 „Flavor how?” Solim cheerful asking, in the eye somewhat anticipated. “味道如何？”索里姆乐呵呵的问道,眼里有几分期待。 „......” Renn sucked the breathless head, truly has a unique flavor, as if fresh forest flavor, but does not know how should describe. His ancestors had no interest in the tea, were not completely tasteful, the expensive/noble tea could not drink what positive result, might as well gave itself one bottle of joyful water more refreshed. “呃……”雷恩咂了咂舌头,确实别有一番风味,仿佛有一股清新森林的味道,可是又不知道该怎么形容。他上辈子就对茶没什么兴趣,完全不讲究,多贵的茶都喝不出什么名堂,还不如给自己一瓶快乐水更加爽快。 The tea of elf is insipid tasteless, anything cannot drink. 精灵的茶更是寡淡无味,什么也喝不出来。 He decides to speak the truth: „Flavor was too pale.” 他决定说实话:“味道太淡了。” „Ha haha......” Solim laughs suddenly, the sound shakes the entire furnace temple to vibrate, with pointing at referred to Renn, is happy: „Good! Really good......” “哈哈哈……”索里姆突然大笑起来,声音震得整座熔炉圣殿都震动起来,用手指了指雷恩,高兴道:“不错！真不错……” „You, if said big pile of praises, now had kicked out by me.” Elder Titan waves to receive the tea set tea on table, said with a smile: „This tea truly is the treasure of elf, one pound value large sum of money, making many elves snatch the broken head. However only then these exquisite tasteful elves can the way, the flavor too be to us pale, with drinking water no difference.” “你要是说出一大堆赞美的话,现在已经被我踢出去了。”泰坦长老挥手把桌上的茶具茶水都收起来,笑道:“这茶确实是精灵的珍品,一磅价值万金,让很多精灵抢破头。不过只有那些细腻讲究的精灵才能品出门道,对我们来说味道太淡了,跟喝水没什么区别。” Renn relaxes secretly. 雷恩暗松了一口气。 Has soul eyes luckily, guessed correctly indistinctly this is a test of Elder Titan. Otherwise, he really possibly against one's conscience, pulls several thinking highly words. 幸好有灵魂之眼,隐约猜到这是泰坦长老的一个考验。要不然,他真的可能昧着良心,扯几句恭维的话。 Solim puts out a crystal bottle: „You try this.” 索里姆又拿出一个水晶瓶:“你试试这个。” Renn received to come to see, in the palm big bottle thinks of the blue liquid, looks like the sea water very much. 雷恩接过来看了下,手掌大的瓶里装着淡蓝的液体,很像海水。 Is careful looks, this at all is not the ordinary sea water, but had been diluted when the plasma, rocks bursts out lightnings, just like the storm in bottle. If breaks the bottle, it is estimated that can release one group of fifth circle shocking orb. 再仔细一看,这根本不是普通的海水,而是被稀释过的电浆,晃动时迸发一道道闪电,犹如瓶中的风暴。如果把瓶子砸碎,估计能释放出一团五环的电爆法球。 His scalp tingles, can this gadget drink? 他头皮发麻,这玩意儿能喝吗？ Raised the head to welcome the Elder Titan vision, obviously the opposite party wants to drink, can only be hard the hair twist-off closure, raises head to drink completely. 抬头迎上泰坦长老的目光,显然对方要自己喝下去,只能硬着头发拧开瓶盖,仰头一口喝尽。 Pungent gets into the stomach following the throat, in stomach overwhelming, spreads over the whole body. 一股辛辣顺着喉咙下肚,在胃里翻江倒海,传遍全身。 Renn is suppressing ill, shuts tightly the mouth. 雷恩强忍着不适,紧闭嘴巴。 However after several seconds, he could not bear, this thing to/clashes, the violent aura instead wells up, the direct impact top of the head, opening mouth of being able not help spouts a blue energy, just like the lightning spark, erupts from the nostrils, eyes and ears. 然而几秒钟后他就忍不住了,这东西太冲,暴烈的气息反涌上来,直冲头顶,情不自禁的张嘴喷出一股蓝色能量,犹如闪电火花,从鼻孔、双眼和耳朵都喷发出去。 Spurts, is a warm feeling, the whole body extremely comfortable direct link soul. 喷完过后,紧接着是一种暖洋洋的感觉,浑身极度舒适直达灵魂。 „Crisp!” “爽！” The radar long exhaled charged aura, the feeling a little above. 雷达长长呼出一口带电的气息,感觉有点上头了。 Discovered impressively, own thunder affinity promoted one section, in lightning element to air was more sensitive. On the soul world tree, „thunder physique” by key element grows piece of young buds, brand-new „thunder affinity” key element. 赫然发现,自己的雷电亲和提升了一截,对空气中的雷电元素更加敏感了。灵魂世界树上,“雷电形体”要素旁边长出一片新叶子,一个全新的“雷电亲和”要素。 Unexpectedly this advantage! 居然还有这种好处！ „Elder, what is this?” Renn asked hastily. “长老,这是什么？”雷恩连忙问道。 „lightning essence.” Solim returns said: „One potion that I develop, can promote thunder affinity, only then the first several bottles of effects are best, behind will drink many also useless, physically weak people drinks again only will die quickly.” “闪电精华。”索里姆回道:“我研制的一种魔药,可以提升雷电亲和,不过只有前几瓶的效果最好,后面喝再多也没用,身体虚弱的人喝了只会死得更快。” Renn nods. 雷恩点了点头。 lightning essence drinks to be very exciting, but is not the average person can withstand. Also is own body is powerful enough, regarding legend below transcendent is the toxicant. 闪电精华喝起来很刺激,但不是一般人能承受的。也就是自己的身体够强悍,对于传奇以下的超凡者就是毒药。 „Can I exchange with source crystal?” He rubbed rubbing hands. “我能用源晶兑换吗？”他搓了搓手。 If comes several bottles of lightning essence again, does several thunder affinity, could advance is second thunder physique. 要是再来几瓶闪电精华,多搞几个雷电亲和,说不定能进阶为第二个雷电形体。 „Does not use, I have, can deliver you some.” Solim puts out ten crystal bottles, inside packed lightning essence. He also takes one bottle toward the mouth but actually, rage flashes lightning energy to enter the mouth to drinking to be the same, in the eye flashes through several to wipe the electric current, shows the satisfied smile. “不用,我有很多,可以送你一些。”索里姆又拿出十个水晶瓶,里面都装满了闪电精华。他自己也拿一瓶往嘴里倒,狂暴的闪电能量入嘴跟喝酒一样,眼里闪过几抹电流,露出满足的笑容。 Renn looked dumbfounded. 雷恩看得傻眼了。 Originally Elder Titan lightning essence, when the drink drinks, this personal hobby, no wonder has not put in it the exchange list. Initially oneself sought thunder affinity, he did not take, obviously is not willing to see somebody off in vain, relations of both sides did not have to that situation well. 原来泰坦长老把闪电精华当饮料喝,这种私人爱好,难怪没有把它放到兑换列表上。当初自己寻求雷电亲和,他也不拿出来,显然是不愿意白白送人,双方的关系也没好到那个地步。 Now is willing to put out lightning essence, explained that the relations have been no comparison between them. 现在愿意拿出闪电精华,说明关系已不可同日而语。 Renn joyful accepting crystal bottle. 雷恩欣喜的收下水晶瓶。 These potion take the auction, one bottle of value several thousand golden Shield, but keeps to drink quite cost-effective. He opens one bottle of lightning essence, will drink, seeing Elder Titan to drink the third bottle, therefore held up the crystal bottle to bump with the opposite party. 这些魔药拿出去拍卖,一瓶价值数千金盾,不过还是留着自己喝比较划算。他打开一瓶闪电精华,正要喝,看见泰坦长老已经在喝第三瓶,于是举起水晶瓶跟对方碰了一下。 When! 当！ „Cheers.” Renn said in the great language with a smile. “干杯。”雷恩用巨人语笑着说道。 Solim gawked, immediately comprehended the meaning of these words, with saying: „Cheers!” 索里姆愣了下,立即领悟了这句话的意思,跟着说道:“干杯！” Two people in the plasma the bottle toss down. 两人将瓶中电浆一饮而尽。 The response of Solim is not big, the Renn actually resembles drank one to fill hot pepper water in a big way, on face azure blue, after several seconds , the mouth spouted a lightning, responded that compared with drank for the first time, but was very exciting, very above. 索里姆的反应不大,雷恩却像喝下了一大灌辣椒水似的,脸上一阵青一阵蓝,几秒后嘴里喷出一股闪电,反应比第一次喝好了些,但还是非常刺激,也很上头。 „Crisp!” Renn laughs. “爽！”雷恩大笑起来。 Felt to lightning element keen promoted much, he drinks the third bottle immediately, on the soul world tree grows one piece newly „thunder affinity”. 感觉到对雷电元素的敏锐又提升了不少,他马上喝下第三瓶,灵魂世界树上又长出一片新的“雷电亲和”。 „Continue.” “继续。” Renn rumble drinks several bottles of lightning essence continually, finally drinks only remains three bottles of times, on World Tree grows third the leaf of thunder affinity. How then to drink, drank up remaining lightning essence, World Tree does not have the sound. 雷恩咕噜噜的连喝几瓶闪电精华,终于喝到只剩三瓶的时候,世界树上长出第三片雷电亲和的叶子。然后再怎么喝,把剩下的闪电精华都喝完了,世界树也没动静。 „Pitifully......” “可惜了……” He sucks close to the mouth, provides much food for thought. 他咂巴着嘴,回味无穷。 lightning essence is not the strong liquor, but that type of unusual aura to Renn, is stronger than the effect of strong liquor, drinks more than ten bottles continually, he is a little dizzy. The soul is making the slight transformation, is not the negative effect, but is forward, therefore will of truth has not fallen its immunity. 闪电精华不是烈酒,但那种奇特的气息对雷恩而言,比烈酒的效果更强,连喝十几瓶,他已经有点晕乎乎的了。灵魂正在进行细微的改造,不是负面效果,而是正向的,所以真理意志没有将它免疫掉。 Three thunder affinity, so long as the luck is not too bad, next time soul transformation time should be able advance to be thunder physique. 三个雷电亲和,只要运气不是太差,下次魂变的时候应该能进阶为雷电形体。 Even without advance, the lightning spells might and resistance still promoted a big truncation. 即使没进阶,雷电法术的威力和抗性也提升了一大截。 Renn does sway stands, „many thanks elder.” 雷恩摇摇晃晃的站起来,“多谢长老。” Solim drank 45 bottles to stop, the complexion has not changed, sits quietly like the mountain, beckons with the hand to say with a smile: „It‘s nothing, some rare people have a drink together with me together. Now we should say the proper business.” 索里姆喝了四五瓶就停住了,脸色没有丝毫变化,稳坐如山,摆了摆手笑道:“没什么,难得有人跟我一起对饮。现在我们该说正事了。” „Good.” Renn sits. “好的。”雷恩重新坐下来。 Elder Titan asked: „How do you feel Athena?” 泰坦长老问道:“你觉得阿西娜如何？” „Very good, is very powerful.” “很好,很强大。” Renn present brain specially active bracelet, routine used a panting catch word reply of previous generation, then guarantees saying: „Elder please feel relieved, Athena to main material world, I will look after her. However by her strength, so long as does not provoke Saint Soul wizard, no one can bully her.” 雷恩现在的脑子特别活跃跳脱,习惯性的用了一句前世的过气流行语回答,然后又保证道:“长老请放心,阿西娜到了主物质界,我会照顾她的。不过以她的实力,只要不招惹圣魂巫师,也没什么人能欺负她。” What he said is the real soul talk. 他说的是真心话。 Do not look at Athena to lose to itself, but her after all Titan Giant, is only as good as saint level transcendent outside Saint Soul wizard depending on strength and defense, really fights, does not dare to say can defeat, at least saves the life not to have the issue. 别看阿西娜败给自己,但她毕竟泰坦巨人,只凭力量与防御就不亚于圣魂巫师以外的圣阶超凡者,真的交手,不敢说能战胜,至少保住性命没有问题。 Moreover there are to cover, backs on Wizland Floating City, who dares not to keep eyes open? 而且有自己罩着,背靠威泽兰浮空城,谁敢这么不长眼？ „The Athena security I did not worry, I asked was not her strength.” Solim shakes the head slowly, the look is a little strange. “阿西娜的安全我不担心,我问的也不是她的实力。”索里姆缓缓摇头,神色有点奇怪。 „Is your meaning?” Renn is confused. “那您的意思是？”雷恩一头雾水。 „I meant how you do feel Athena this person?” Elder Titan vision brilliant is staring at Renn, very earnest asking: „Are you willing to become the spouse with Athena?” “我是说,你觉得阿西娜这个人如何？”泰坦长老目光灼灼的盯着雷恩,十分认真的问道:“你愿不愿意跟阿西娜结为配偶？” „!” “啊！” Renn had a scare, the spirit sobers immediately. 雷恩被吓一跳,精神顿时清醒过来。 Some of his types pressed for an answer the feeling of wedding date on the liquor table by the father-in-law suddenly, but the flow has not walked, even is on intimate terms, must first contact some time, looks for the feeling, oneself saw three times with Athena, asked such directly, did this also worry? 他突然有种在酒桌上被老丈人逼问婚期的感觉,可是流程都没走完呢,就算是相亲,也要先接触一段时间,找找感觉,自己跟阿西娜才见了三次,问得这么直接,这也着急了吧？ Solim sees a little to hesitate, the look was swift and fierce. 索里姆见有有点犹豫,眼神就凌厉起来了。 „Renn don't you want?” “雷恩你不愿意？” „...... This is not the issue that wants......” Renn does not know how should say, the big beautiful woman delivers, is Titan Giant, oneself are thousand is certainly willing ten thousand to be willing. However in the world does not have the free lunch, this good deed, definitely has the price. “呃……这不是愿意不愿意的问题……”雷恩不知该怎么说,大美女送上门,还是一个泰坦巨人,自己当然是千肯万肯。但是世上没有免费的午餐,这种好事,肯定都是有代价的。 Who knows that what this Elder Titan does have to request? 谁知道这位泰坦长老有什么要求？ He looks cautiously to Solim, soul eyes only sees the little orange, this is excited also anxious, does not have the hostility. 他小心翼翼的看向索里姆,灵魂之眼只看到少许橙色,这是兴奋也急切,并没有敌意。 „What issue is that?” “那是什么问题？” Solim is staring at Renn, making him feel that presses strength mountain to be big, lowers the head to listen to Elder Titan saying: „No matter by the aesthetic appreciation of giant, is the fondness of human, Athena is the rare world is outstandingly beautiful, enough could be joined to you, what did you also want extravagant demands?” 索里姆盯着雷恩,让他感觉压力山大,低头听着泰坦长老说道:“不管是以巨人的审美,还是人类的癖好,阿西娜都是难得一见的人间绝色,足够配得上你了,你还要奢求什么？” „Elder.” Renn shows awkward expression, said honestly: „I have several spouses.” “长老。”雷恩露出为难的表情,坦诚道:“我已经有好几个配偶了。” „Doesn't matter.” A Solim face does not care, „how many spouses you have not to matter, in any case is not the Athena opponent, I did not fear that she was bullied, if who dares? Groaned......” in his eye to flash through the danger, the aura rises suddenly flickered, making Renn beat a drum at heart. “没关系。”索里姆一脸不在乎,“你有多少个配偶无所谓,反正都不是阿西娜的对手,我不怕她受欺负,谁要是敢？哼哼……”他的眼里闪过危险,气息暴涨了一瞬,让雷恩心里直打鼓。 Viola, Oxilia and Amelis, no is the fuel-efficient lamp. 维欧拉、奥希丽雅和艾蜜莉丝,没有一个是省油的灯。 This small fish pond was very quiet, how many fish do not disturb each other, if puts Athena, that came a shark, do other fish have the means of livelihood? 这个小小的鱼塘原本很平静,几条鱼互不干扰,要是把阿西娜放进来,那就是来了一条大鲨鱼,其它鱼还有活路吗？ Renn keeps silent. 雷恩默不作声。 Solim continues saying: „Naturally, in this world, the competent male gender always has many spouses, I can understand. If you have the skill to make them live in peace together, so long as Athena were not bullied, I will not look for your trouble.” 索里姆继续说道:“当然,这个世界上,有实力的雄性总是有很多配偶,我可以理解。你要是有本事让她们和平相处,只要阿西娜不受欺负,我也不会找你的麻烦。” Broad considers, 【App】 The sincerity is good, is worth installing, the Android apple cell phone supports unexpectedly! 广个告,【app】真心不错,值得装个,竟然安卓苹果手机都支持！ Real? I do not believe! 真的吗？我不信！ Renn hehe, on the face actually does not dare to display at heart, very curious asking: „Elder, I can ask, why can you make Athena my spouse?” 雷恩心里呵呵,脸上却不敢表现出来,很好奇的问道:“长老,我可以问一下,您为什么要让阿西娜成为我的配偶？” Storm Giant the population declines now, boosts the population urgently needed. 风暴巨人如今种群没落,急需提振人口。 The Giants is the innate gender imbalance, the male and female proportion about 4 : 1, each female Storm Giant is the scarce resources, most male giants for a lifetime are the hoodlums. 巨人族又是先天的性别失衡,男女比例大约四比一,每个女性风暴巨人都是稀有资源,多数男性巨人一辈子都是光棍。 Athena has the female giant of unrivalled talent like this, the appearance is so also beautiful, does not know that many young giant admire, do not betroth in the outstanding later generation to clan her, unexpectedly makes her a spouse of human, making these Storm Giant know, it is estimated that must be wild with rage. 阿西娜这样拥有旷世天赋的女性巨人,容貌又如此美丽,不知有多少年轻的巨人爱慕,不把她许配给族中的优秀后辈,居然让她成为一个人类的配偶,让那些风暴巨人知道了,估计要被气疯。 Does not leave for three minutes, a group of Storm Giant will run to challenge itself. 不出三分钟,就会有一大群风暴巨人跑来挑战自己。 „Renn, you are very good.” Nod of Solim applause, „this time can also keep calm, does not waste me to favor you.” “雷恩,你很好。”索里姆赞许的点了点头,“这时候还能保持冷静,不枉费我这么看好你。” I compare to instigate that the Renn heart said. 我只是比较怂罢了,雷恩心道。 „Reason is very simple.” “理由很简单。” Solim smiles indifferently, he looks at Renn, saying of no concealment: „Renn, I am very attractive your prospect, can see your ambition. main material world will become your domain sooner or later, Oriense Empire will at least fall into your hand, therefore wants to establish the relations with you, perhaps still further, this is Storm Giant reappears magnificent key one step.” 索里姆淡然笑了笑,他看着雷恩,毫无隐瞒的说道:“雷恩,我很好看你的前景,也能看出你的野心。主物质界迟早会成为你的地盘,至少奥瑞恩瑟帝国将落入你的手里,所以想跟你搭上关系,更进一步,这也许是风暴巨人重现辉煌的关键一步。” The Renn heart is startled. 雷恩心头微惊。 Obviously, this Elder Titan has done the thorough investigation to oneself, possibly several years ago started, has not treated as itself the pure swapper. 显然,这位泰坦长老对自己做过深入的调查,可能从几年前就开始了,并没有把自己当作纯粹的交易者。 He wants to marry with himself. 他想跟自己联姻。 Athena is that sacrificial victim. 阿西娜就是那个牺牲品。 Renn had not denied that own ambition and desire, are welcoming the Solim vision: „Can I reject?” 雷恩没有否认自己的野心和欲望,迎着索里姆的目光:“我可以拒绝吗？” Elder Titan has not been angry, instead smiled. 泰坦长老没有生气,反而笑了。 He one comes out shortly, Renn is not really rejects, but is bargaining back and forth, this is the matter that he previously expected. He has not thought that can only persuade Renn by Athena, has prepared other conditions. 他一眼看出来,雷恩并不是真的拒绝,而是在讨价还价,这是他此前就预料到的事情。他从来没有想过,只靠一个阿西娜就能说动雷恩,已经准备好了其它条件。 Solim sits the straight body, puts out a hand two fingers: „One, so long as you agreed, Athena will conclude soul contract with you. Second, I pledged that acts three times for you, if you died, this commitment shifts to your family successor.” 索里姆坐直身体,伸手两根手指:“一,只要你同意,阿西娜就会跟你缔结灵魂契约。二,我承诺为你出手三次,如果你死了,这个承诺转移给你的家族继承人。”
