Dark province Capital Dark City. 黑暗行省首府-黑暗城。 Clear sky warm/gentle is positive, cool breeze slightly supple. 晴空煦阳,凉风微柔。 In the small living room of governor's mansion backyard, three governor madames are entertaining a scholar from Holy Capital. But two stylish youngster bend down under outside window, is listening respectfully to inside several people's talks carefully. 总督府后院的小客厅里,三位总督夫人正在招待一位来自圣都的学者。而两个衣着光鲜的少年伏在外面的窗下,正仔细聆听里面几个人的谈话。 „...... You offended Left Minister like this! Dean Lorenzo, is really accidental/surprised!” Feline Madame Rhona listened to the original Holy Capital imperial family school Dean words, said to the guest with a smile: „The Left Minister bearing was also too small.” “……原来您就是这样得罪左相的啊！罗伦佐院长,真是令人意外！”菲琳・罗娜夫人听完了原圣都皇家学院院长的话,笑着对客人说:“左相的气量也太小了点。” „Honored Madame Feline, was honest, I also know oneself were an old stick-in-the-mud.” The Dean Lorenzo sound sounds quite helpless: „But I cannot change, saw that after not the derigueur matter association/will cannot control itself to make noise the accusation...... is very possible, will offend you for this reason.” “尊贵的菲琳夫人,坦白讲,我也知道自己是个老顽固。”罗伦佐院长的声音听起来相当无奈:“但我就是改不了,看到不合乎礼仪的事总会控制不住自己而出声指责……很可能以后会因为这个原因而冒犯您。” „How can, Dean Lorenzo. Before was because we did not understand you, now we know that this was your big merit!” Kelly Madame Rhona said, seems like this madame to have the character of going straight there and coming straight back. “怎么会呢,罗伦佐院长。以前是因为我们不了解您,现在我们知道这可是您的一大优点呢！”凯丽・罗娜夫人笑着说,看起来这位夫人有着直来直去的性格。 „Thank you, Madame Kelly.” Dean said: „Hopes me not to enrage somebody to lose the life because of this merit again.” “谢谢您,凯丽夫人。”院长说:“但愿我不会再因这个优点激怒某人而丢掉性命。” „Cannot, Mr. Dean. When Cohen he is angry, most said your several loudly.” Madame Winslet said in a soft voice: „Time grew you to understand, although Cohen never concealed himself to like anything and dislikes anything, but also that is all. Believes me, how he not to you.” “不会的,院长先生。科恩他生气时,最多大声说您几句。”温丝丽夫人轻声说道:“时间长了您就会明白,科恩虽然从不掩饰自己喜欢什么和讨厌什么,但也就仅此而已。相信我,他不会对您怎样的。” Under the window outside small living room, black hair young people at heart cold snort/hum one. 小客厅外的窗户下,一个黑发年轻人在心里冷哼一声。 „Let us hope so.” “但愿如此。” „Right, Dean Lorenzo.” Madame Feline said: „Can consult your issue? Possibly in the entire dark province only then you can reply me.” “对了,罗伦佐院长。”菲琳夫人说:“可以请教您一个问题吗？可能在整个黑暗行省就只有您才能回答我。” „Madame Feline, you please ask!” One hear the issue can explain, Dean appeared the somewhat exhausted eye one bright, the whole person surges upward immediately on the mood: „Answers question for people- this is I survives the value in the world to be at!” “菲琳夫人,您请问吧！”一听有问题可以解答,院长本来显得有些疲累的眼睛一亮,整个人立刻就情绪高涨起来:“为人们解答问题-这正是我生存于世上的价值所在啊！” „That I take the liberty. Dean Lorenzo.” Feline hesitated: „You know, a man can marry several females simultaneously...... and what is more, other attention females who at the same time also keep. Do you think reasonably this?” “那就恕我冒昧。请问罗伦佐院长。”菲琳迟疑了一下:“您知道,一位男子可以同时娶几位女子……更有甚者,在这同时还不停的关注其他女性。您认为这合理吗？” The two young people under window look one, saw in the opposite party eyes surprisedly. 窗下的两个年轻人对望一眼,都在对方眼中看到了惊讶。 „Madame, please give a time to make me think.” Dean said: „This issue is quite complex, scoring points several parts...... is well good immediately, immediately!” “夫人,请您给点时间让我想想。”院长说:“这个问题比较复杂,得分成几个部分来说……马上就好、马上就好！” „Doesn't matter, you think slowly.” Madame Winslet stands, fills the red wine to the Dean Lorenzo cup in personally. “没关系,您慢慢想。”温丝丽夫人站起来,亲自给罗伦佐院长的杯中斟满红酒。 „Before then, I first stated a point, oneself only had a wife.” Finally, Dean starts talking: „I as far as possible fair appraisal this matter.” “在这之前,我先声明一点,本人只有一位妻子。”终于,院长开口说话:“我会尽量公平的评价此事。” Three madame slight bows, do not interrupt the Dean words. 三位夫人微微点头,并不打断院长的话。 „First, we started from the realistic condition. On the current entire mainland, because the brutal war and famine...... especially the war causes the population to sharply fall, but participates in the war and service was the male and massive dying in these activities was also the male, year by year accumulated to form the female by far to be many masculine reality in the quantity.” Dean stopped at this point, probably also drank a red wine: „, Who supports the female who these come out? “首先,我们从现实状态入手好了。就目前整个大陆来说,因为残酷的战争和饥荒……特别是战争导致人口锐减,而参加战争与劳役的都是男性、在这些活动中大量死去的也是男性,逐年累计下来就在数量上形成了女性远远多过男性的现实。”院长说到这里停了一下,好像还喝了口红酒:“那么,谁来养活这些多出来的女性呢？ Each empire cannot accomplish obviously very much, therefore permits in the law and custom, even encourages the men to marry the wife, so long as a man is capable of supporting them, he wants to marry many women. ” 很显然各个帝国都办不到,所以就在法律与风俗上允许,甚至鼓励男人们多娶妻子,只要一个男人有能力养活她们,他想娶多少女人都可以。” Under the window, the black hair young people give the thumbs-up to another young people. 窗下,黑发年轻人向另一个年轻人竖起了大拇指。 „Makes us not discuss regardless these, again was good from the angle of man and woman. How is a good man? How is a good woman?” Imperial school Dean is not white Dang, speaking anything is one set is linking one set: „A standard of good man is loyal to own family and faith, if he simultaneously is an aristocrat official, but must be loyal to the empire and emperor...... thus it can be seen, the responsibility that a good man to bear are too many are too many. But must be a good woman so is not complex, the responsibility of women sacrificed a point self-awareness , helping the husband complete his responsibility with every effort......” “让我们抛开这些不谈,再从男人和女人的角度来讲好了。怎样才是个好男人？怎样又才算个好女人？”皇家学院院长可不是白当的,讲什么东西都是一套连着一套:“一个好男人的标准就是忠于自己的家族和信念,如果他同时还是一位贵族官员的话,还得忠于帝国与皇帝……由此可见,一个好男人所背负的责任太多太多。而要做一个好女人就没这么复杂,女人们的责任只是牺牲一点自我意识,去尽力帮助丈夫完成他的职责……” „Sorry, Mr. Dean, I break your.” Madame Feline is frowning: „Why wanted the female to sacrifice? Doesn't the female have the soul?” “对不起,院长先生,我打断您一下。”菲琳夫人微皱着眉头:“为什么要女性牺牲自我？难道女性就没有灵魂吗？” „Has, the female has certainly the soul, we never denied this point. But please note, the self-awareness cannot be equal to the soul.” Dean not, because own words were broken to express that any is discontented: „Let alone sacrifice also is not only the female, payout of men be much more than woman! He must, even serve for the wives for the family, but must be utterly loyal for the empire and for the emperor, in this, the man may also pay with the life the price! Wasn't this sacrifice? In the face of such sacrifice, did the female have claim of right man finally its lifetime time and energy gazes at themselves and cares for? Obviously this very unreasonable......” “有,女性当然是有灵魂的,我们从不否认这一点。但请注意,自我意识并不能等同于灵魂。”院长并没因为自己的话被打断而表示出任何不满:“更何况牺牲的也不仅是女性,男人们的付出要比女人多得多！他要为家族、甚至为妻子们服务,还要为帝国、为皇帝尽忠,在这之间,男人还有可能付出生命的代价！这难道不是牺牲吗？在这样的牺牲面前,女性难道还有权利要求男人终其一生的时间与精力来注视和关爱自己吗？显然这很不合理……” „The object but who...... the female sacrificed with the male is not completely consistent.” Madame Feline refuted: „You said like this is also incompatible.” “可是……女性与男性牺牲的对象并不完全一致。”菲琳夫人反驳说:“您这样说也不尽合理。” „Good, we use the female and masculine relations now compare well.” Dean is eloquent, has the stance that is casual you to send to incur greatly: „A female sacrifice range for husband, but a masculine sacrifice was guarantees his wife and all expenses of children, but must protect them is not injured. Comparatively speaking, the male pays are more.” “好,我们现在就用女性和男性的关系来比较好了。”院长口若悬河,大有随便你发招的架势:“一个女性的牺牲范围只是为丈夫一人,而一个男性的牺牲是保证他的妻子们及其子女的一切花销,还要保护他们不受到伤害。比较而言,还是男性付出的更多。” „Why the female must sacrifice for the male, rather than opposite?” Madame Kelly cannot bear ask. “为什么女性就一定要为男性牺牲,而不是相反？”凯丽夫人忍不住问。 „It seems like I do not have the explanation to be clear, in fact no one forced a female to sacrifice anything for the male, but a wife must sacrifice for the husband.” Dean said: „If a woman is not willing to sacrifice for the husband, that do not become his wife to be good. Since she has become his wife, had this responsibility.” “看来我没有解释清楚,事实上没人强迫一个女性为男性牺牲什么,但是一个妻子就必须为丈夫牺牲。”院长说:“如果一个女人不愿意为丈夫牺牲,那就不要成为他的妻子好了。既然她已经成为他的妻子,也就有了这个责任。” „Then love?” Is listening quietly in secure Madame Winslet has said: „After becomes the couple, only then responsibility and sacrifice, but hasn't loved?” “那么爱呢？”一直都在安静听着的温丝丽夫人说:“难道成为夫妻之后,就只有责任与牺牲,而没有爱了吗？” „Naturally has the love, criterion that a true gentry very ingenious assurance will love.” Dean laughs: The criterion decision each wife's position that „he can love, making her not need to receive other wives' oppressions. Also because has the love, therefore a gentleman when having many wife still in attendance everyone of doing one's best- dealt with all wives' relations is also part in a husband sacrifice......, if you saw in a gentry family/home likely an arena, that is certain he not loved about the wives radically, he did not have the qualifications said were a qualified gentleman!” “当然有爱,一个真正的绅士会很巧妙的把握爱的尺度。”院长哈哈一笑:“他会以爱的尺度决定每一位妻子的地位,使她不必受到其他妻子的压迫。也正是因为有爱,所以一个绅士在拥有多位妻子时仍在尽心尽力的照顾每一个人-处理好所有妻子的关系也是一个丈夫牺牲中的一部分……如果你看到一位绅士家里像个斗兽场,那就可以肯定他对妻子们根本无爱可言,他也就没资格称自己是个合格的绅士！” Including the out of the window two people, everyone was said dumbfoundedly by Dean Lorenzo, had not responded good long while. 包括窗外的两个人在内,所有人都被罗伦佐院长说得目瞪口呆,好半天都没有反应。 „Really is this?” Madame Feline sighed: „But is very unwilling! You also think that the present gentlemen really understand these truth that you said?” “真是这样吗？”菲琳夫人叹口气:“可还是很不甘心呢！您也认为现在的绅士们真的明白你说的这些道理吗？” „I am indefinite, Madame. At least I also think that cannot achieve to maintain between two wife relates, therefore I only have a wife.” Dean said: „However in present this morals corrupt environment, we are incapable of requesting the male to obey the rule. Any truth can be abused by the male of degeneration, to conceal the essence that they seek after to lead a life of comfort pompously.” “我不确定,夫人。至少我本人还自认为做不到在两个妻子间可以保持好关系,所以我只有一个妻子。”院长说:“而在现在这个道德腐败的环境下,我们无力要求男性们都遵守规则。任何真理都可以被堕落的男性所滥用,以冠冕堂皇的掩饰他们贪图享乐的本质。” „Right......” “是吗……” „As I see it, the present male marries many wife, no longer to inherit the heir or relaxed exhausted body and mind.” Dean is shaking the head saying: „They will even force to rob the beautiful female at will, holds after it leads a life of comfort with all sorts of methods them discards, simply as shameless as the extreme!” “就我所见,现在的男性娶多位妻子,已经不再是为了传承子嗣或者放松疲惫身心之用了。”院长摇着头说:“他们甚至会随意胁迫抢夺美丽的女子,供其占有享乐之后再用种种方法将她们丢弃,简直无耻到极点！” „Mr. Dean, we did not say other.” Feline asked: „You just said that inherits the heir...... I to think I can understand, but what relaxes the exhausted body and mind?” “院长先生,我们不说别的。”菲琳问:“你刚刚所说传承子嗣……我想我可以理解,可什么是放松疲惫的身心？” „Sorry, is I do not have the explanation to be clear.” Dean was sorry that said: „Is this, the male finds a wife is more attractive beautiful is no doubt better, a more important point is actually likes. We can consider, in a body and mind exhausted male goes home, what seen with own eyes what is the beautiful thing and ear listens is the gently beautiful sound, what the hand contacts is...... Oh, forgives my general idea/careless...... such words, can his exhausted body and mind a better quicker restoration?” “对不起,是我没有解释清楚。”院长抱歉的说:“是这样,男性娶妻固然是越漂亮美丽越好,更重要的一点却是自己喜欢。我们可以试想一下,当一位身心疲累的男性回到家里,眼见的是美丽的事物、耳听的是柔美的声音,手接触到的是……哦,原谅我的大意……这样的话,他疲累的身心是不是就可以更好更快的恢复呢？” Three madames hesitate do not speak. 三位夫人沉吟不语。 „Actually these following females should not use the wife, but should wait on to call with the concubine.” Dean said: „Besides the loving care of husband, their position only tall passed/lived maidservant is lower than the wife. I explained like this, three madames do understand?” “其实这些后面的女性已经不应该用妻子,而应该用妾侍来称呼了。”院长说:“除了丈夫的爱护之外,她们的地位只高过侍女而低于妻子。我这样解释,三位夫人明白吗？” „Really fearful!” Madame Winslet said: „Is this love?” “真可怕！”温丝丽夫人说:“这就是爱吗？” „Yes, this , is not only is the category of loving also to be the system. Just like an empire, two people above relations need a system to maintain.” Dean said: „, Waits for the women if not will be the brutal destiny, the system that this type handed down since old times, will naturally have its reasonable place.” “是的,这不但是属于爱的范畴也属于制度。和一个帝国一样,两人以上的关系就需要一个制度来维系。”院长说:“如果不这样,等待女人们的将是残酷的命运,这种自古相传的制度,自然有它合乎情理的地方。” „Got it, thank you, Mr. Dean.” Madame Feline decides to interrupt this talk, she thought that listens to only have the fault again, at least Winslet and Kelly had been said by this Dean blurry: „Thanked you to be a guest......” “明白了,谢谢您,院长先生。”菲琳夫人决定中断这次谈话,她觉得再听下去只有坏处,至少温丝丽和凯丽已经被这个院长说迷糊了:“非常感谢您能来做客……” Hears three madames to start to see a visitor out, departure that the two young people under window are soundless immediately, looks like from they flexible and skilled movement, this listening secretly matter they often do. 听到三位夫人开始送客,窗下的两个年轻人立即蹑手蹑脚的离开,从他们灵活而又熟练的动作看来,这种偷听的事他们常干。 The Swabia empire is situated in the entire continental climate most temperate region, will therefore not feel the cold, his entire life how many Swabia national when winterring is unable to understand „snow” this type of thing under other place meetings. 斯比亚帝国地处整个大陆气候最温和的地域,所以在过冬时也不会觉得冷,很多斯比亚国民一生都无法理解怎么在其他地方会下“雪”这种东西。 In the new year passed like this. 新年就这样过去了。 Since these days, Dark City was also lively. The residents can notice that daily the army is training, since governor Sir comes back, they are practicing like this, the method of training was very strange and many many military officers. In the corner of city, the black smoke that in the weapon workshop of dwarf artisan raises blocks out the sun to obstruct moon/month, from dawn to dusk is strokes the metal the sound. But in the governor's mansion that highest building, that above magic light almost does not extinguish all night...... 这些日子以来,黑暗城又热闹了许多。市民们天天都可以看到军队在训练,自从总督大人回来之后他们就在这样练着,训练的方法很古怪而且还多了很多军官。在城市的一角,矮人工匠的武器作坊里升起的黑烟蔽日遮月,从早到晚都是击打金属的声音。而总督府里那座最高的楼,那上面的魔法灯光几乎是通夜不灭…… Such day has continued for a month later, finally stopped. On February 1 this day, the residents discovered with amazement the army stopped the training. Before all soldiers put on themselves, has never seen when the military uniform, Zaitan did not have was bright on the neat arrangement, in went nonstop to by the city gate main road from the governor's mansion, when there is no military officer like before trained to scold them, but the soldiers stood very gravely neatly and...... most do not have the proper wing person soldiers the stand in the residential impression very much continually straightly. 这样的日子一直持续了一个月之后,终于停了下来。在二月 1 日这天,市民们惊讶的发现军队停止了训练。所有的军人都穿起了自己以前从未见过的军服,在天还没亮时就整齐的排列在从总督府直通城门的大道两旁,没有任何军官像以前训练时那样骂他们,可军人们站得很整齐、很庄重……连在市民印象中最没正经的翼人士兵都一个个站得笔挺。 The front door of governor's mansion opened, one white one black, the forefront two handsome horse is treading the broken step appearance. 总督府的大门打开了,一白一黑,最前面的两匹俊马踏着碎步出现。 The person on white horse is holding the helmet, wears a silver armor, the waist is also matching a long sword, on the fine gold gold/metal scabbard also has special rune/symbol writing...... under the golden hair is a smiling face that is sending out the brilliance, this is one of the Swabia empire two God Blessed Knight, Prince Fischett. 白马上的人抱着头盔,穿着一身银色盔甲,腰间还配着一柄长剑,鎏金剑鞘上还有特别的符文……金黄色的头发下是一张散发着光彩的笑脸,这是斯比亚帝国两位神佑骑士之一,菲谢特王子殿下。 What with Prince Fischett shoulder to shoulder advance is a dark horse, the above knight does not know that what's the matter, puts on the black clothes and wrap/sets black armor, black cloak. Although he lagged behind the mask on helmet oneself to hide solid, the black iron blade that but he conducted the back explained his status- he was another God Blessed Knight of empire, dark province governor Cohen Kheda. 和菲谢特王子并肩前进的是一匹黑马,上面的骑士不知怎么回事,穿黑衣、套黑甲,还有件黑披风。虽然他拉下了头盔上的面罩把自己藏得严严实实,但他背上的黑铁刀还是说明了他的身分-他就是帝国的另一位神佑骑士,黑暗行省总督科恩・凯达。 They have what concern probably, has not paid attention to a big skewer official who follows behind completely, two people gathered selfish low voice to say anything together, governor Sir has not even paid attention to own three wife. 他们像是有什么心事,完全没有理会身后跟着的一大串官员,两人把头凑到一起自顾自的小声说着什么,总督大人甚至都没有理会自己的三位妻子。 Except that these two, the entire team is remaining silent, this has arrived at outside the city gate. 除了这两人,整支队伍都在保持着沉默,就这样一直走到城门外。 „Stops!” Governor Cohen hand upwardly at one fell swoop: „Stops!” “停！”科恩总督把手向上一举:“停下！” „Are you very idle today?” He turns around to say to the following official: „Big does such province being all right make you do? Go away, rolls to work to me!” “你们今天很闲吗？”他转过身来对后面的官员说:“这么大个行省就没事让你们做？滚,都给我滚回去做事！” The following officials are blinking the eye, does not understand why governor Sir was angry. However, but also no one dares to violate governor's order, everyone turns around the body to run immediately...... they are afraid this eccentric governor, if oneself on slow a little, perhaps really must „rolling” go back to work. 后面的官员们眨巴着眼睛,不明白总督大人为什么又生气了。不过,还没人敢违背总督的命令,所有人立即掉转身体就跑……他们是害怕这位脾气古怪的总督,要是自己慢上那么一点的话,说不定就真的要一路“滚”回去做事。 „I said the brothers, our by-pass walks here!” Cohen Kheda said to Fischett: „Crow must go to Holy Capital, the white clouds goes to the allied armies military headquarters, we not on the way!” “我说兄弟,我们就在这里分路走吧！”科恩・凯达对身边的菲谢特说:“乌鸦要去圣都,白云去联军军部,我们不顺路啊！” „Good! Was careful to the allied armies, at least needs to leave behind the poor life to come back to see me.” Your Highness Fischett said: „This is you have promised me.” “好啊！到了联军里要小心,至少要留下小命回来见我。”菲谢特殿下说:“这可是你向我保证过的。” „Knew! You now are quite wordy, probably the woman is the same!” Cohen Kheda beckons with the hand: „The crow, I can think your, hehe!” “知道了！你现在好啰嗦,像是女人一样！”科恩・凯达摆摆手:“不过乌鸦,我会想你的,呵呵！” „Does not need! As soon as I arrived at Holy Capital saying that to the father sovereign I must elect the imperial concubine.” Your Highness Fischett shakes the head again and again: „White clouds do not think me again......” “不必了！我一到圣都就对父皇说我要选妃。”菲谢特殿下连连摇头:“白云你就不要再想我了……” „I said two.” Feline at the same time Rhona said: „Are you friend or the lover? Quite disgusting.” “我说两位。”一边的菲琳・罗娜笑着说:“你们是朋友还是恋人啊？好肉麻。” „Good, good!” Cohen Kheda pats the helmet makes noise: „ This! “好了、好了！”科恩・凯达把头盔拍得啪啪作响:“就这样吧！ We walked! Three dear wives look after the house, I feel relieved very much...... ” 我们就走了！有三位亲爱的妻子看家,我很放心……” „Takes care!” “一路保重！” „Remembers that elects an attractive imperial concubine!” “记得选个漂亮的妃子！” „Cohen! On the road does not permit you to look at other women!” “科恩！路上不准你看其他女人！” Vol. 7 第七卷
