„Danger relative, Mr. Pine . Moreover the danger also means the opportunity,” in the Fourth Prince brain glances through the related information that Assistant Minister is collecting, „heard that your title does inherit from your father? He once was Knight, because afterward the combat was active, was awarded the Baron the title and fief.” “危险是相对的,派恩先生,而且危险也意味着机遇,”四王子脑中翻阅着大臣助理搜集来的相关资料,“听说你的爵位继承自你的父亲？他曾是一名骑士,后来因为作战有功,被授予了男爵爵位和封地。” „So,” the Tigu nod said. “正是如此,”提古点头说。 „That fight, is one for the war of honor the innocent person bravely steps forward, the time also in Months of Demons. Small some Evil Beast passed through the stronghold defense line through Scarlet Water River accidentally/surprisingly, enters the Western Region center. At that time when your father in this patrol, met remaining Evil Beast, he like most people have not chosen in advance gives way to traffic, after informing the reinforcements, encircled again. Cities-- freely that cities that because he behind does not garrison and he does not relate,” Roland stated that while paid attention to the facial expression of opposite party, „afterward matter you should be clearer than me, your father convened militia of cities, was bringing own attendants, the upfront and Evil Beast battled and won.” “那场战斗,是一场为无辜者挺身而出的荣誉之战,时间也是在邪魔之月。一小部分邪兽意外地通过赤水河穿越了要塞防线,进入西境腹地。当时你的父亲正在该地巡逻,遇到残余邪兽时,他没有像大多数人那样选择先行避让,通知援军后再进行围剿。因为他身后就是毫不设防的城镇——尽管那座城镇和他毫无关系,”罗兰一边陈述,一边注意对方的神情,“后来的事你应该比我更清楚,你的父亲召集起城镇的民兵,带着自己的侍从,正面与邪兽作战并获得了胜利。” „Yes,” his tone is somewhat excited, obviously fills to yearn to this family history, „a build is huge, like deer likely good, or is both rubs to pinch in the same place monster. Its leg is thicker than my father torso, runs the ground to shiver. If I, does not know how really should defeat such monster.” “是的,”他语气有些激动起来,显然对这段家族史充满向往,“其中一只体形巨大,像鹿又像牛,或者说是两者揉捏在一起的怪物。它的腿比我父亲躯干都要粗,奔跑起来地面都在颤抖。如果是我,真不知道该如何击败这样的怪物。” „But he actually achieved. My father stands in gutter nearby, tempts the violent anger giant beast. Instance that accelerates to dash while it, he drops to the ground in the gutter, supports the wide blade sword, the sword hilt braces on a ditch sole stone. That seemed like the unapproachable idiot such directly hits on the sword point, the entire belly was cut an opening, the intestines and black blood that flowed quickly submerged my father. On my family/home fireplace is hanging also the spoils of war of that fight, a huge Evil Beast corner/horn.” “但他却做到了。我的父亲站在一条浅沟附近,将暴怒的巨兽引诱过来。趁它加速冲撞的瞬间,他卧倒在浅沟中,支起宽刃剑,剑柄斜撑在沟底一块石头上。那头看似无可匹敌的蠢货就这么径直撞在了剑尖上,整个肚子被划开了条口子,流出来的肠子和黑血都快把我父亲淹没了。我家壁炉上至今还挂着那次战斗的战利品,一根巨大的邪兽角。” Roland drank tea, said at a moderate pace: „Is worth the admiring fight. He followed the belief of Knight, pities with heroically. Afterward the one who gave him the title and fief is Joe Kohl, at that time Longsong Stronghold Earl, 25 years ago by my father Wimbledon III promotion is Duke, held a concurrent post of the southern border to protect, governs the territory to spread entire southern region. It is a pity that after the backer exits independently, still kept east of stronghold old Pine then has become the thorn in stronghold Duke eye.” 罗兰喝了口茶,不紧不慢地说:“值得钦佩的战斗。他遵循了骑士的信仰,怜悯和英勇。后来给予他爵位和封地的是乔伊.科尔,当时还是长歌要塞的一名伯爵,25年前被我父亲温布顿三世晋升为公爵,兼任南疆守护,所辖领地遍及整个南境。遗憾的是,靠山独立出去后,仍留在要塞以东的老佩恩便成了要塞公爵眼中的刺。” „Your highness you knows actually very clearly,” Tigu somewhat reluctantly aspirated, „stronghold Duke and Sir Joey did not gather, Joe Kohl is not Earl that stronghold Duke enfeoffs, his bloodlines may trace to the royal family branch, the family or the blood relationship, do not miss compared with Sir Ryan.” “殿下您倒是知道得很清楚,”提古有些无奈地吐了口气,“要塞公爵和乔伊大人一直就不合,乔伊.科尔也不是要塞公爵分封的伯爵,他的血脉可追溯至王室分支,无论是家族还是血统,都不比莱恩大人差。” This is the politics, the Roland heart said that balance acrobatics that Wimbledon III plays with. 这就是政治,罗兰心道,温布顿三世所玩弄的制衡把戏。 In order to ravel this intriguing relations, he called to give itself to explain one Assistant Minister all day. 为了弄明白这段错综复杂的关系,他可是把大臣助理叫来给自己讲解了一整天。 Enfeoffing and jurisdiction between noble are extremely chaotic, theoretically, higher authority noble is authorized in the subordinate noble issue order to the territory, the actual operation is much more complex, Joe Kohl and Duke Ryan are the examples. As Earl that King enfeoffs directly, territory, although in Western Region, cannot have in the Duke Ryan prestige and momentum. 贵族间的分封和管辖是极为混乱的,理论上来说,上级贵族有权对领地内下级贵族发布命令,实际操作起来却复杂得多,乔伊.科尔和莱恩公爵就是例子。作为国王直接分封的伯爵,领地虽然在西境,却有着不下于莱恩公爵的威望和声势。 After Joey becomes southern region Duke, naturally also will have new Nail to be arranged his territory, this is the Greycastle royal family maintains the ruling stable habitually using method. 当乔伊成为南境公爵后,自然也会有新的钉子被安排进他的领地,这是灰堡王室维持执政稳定的惯用手段。 „After therefore you inherit this territory, the business and agricultural production day after day are on the wane, family property one day was also inferior on the 1st,” Roland said slowly, „now, the new opportunities are placed in front of you.” “所以当你继承这块领地后,商贸和农产都日渐凋零,家业也一日不如一日,”罗兰缓缓说,“现在,有一个新的机会摆在你面前。” „New...... Opportunity?” “新的……机会？” „Thinks that you had heard the two years ago famines, stronghold on the grounds of trading ore insufficient, the buckle has sent next month of food. But this year, we faced with similar difficult position. Accident/Surprise collapsing of Northern Slope Mine makes the Border Town people be possible to draw back roadless, we must block Evil Beast after the newly-built city wall. This fight will not be problem-free, before just like me , said that the danger simultaneously means the opportunity.” “想必你听说过两年前的饥荒,要塞以交易矿石不足为由,扣发了下一个月的食物。而今年,我们面临同样的困境。北坡矿洞的意外坍塌让边陲镇人民无路可退,我们必须在新建的城墙后挡住邪兽。这场战斗可能不会一帆风顺,不过正如我之前所说的,危险同时意味着机会。” „......” Tigu understood the meaning of prince, he frowns, does not have immediately answer. “……”提古已经明白了王子的意思,他皱着眉头,没有立刻回答。 „Said, you in noble like usual significance,” Roland did not smile, „nobody will put on to go out, moreover in your hand, is the incrustation cocoons. Hasn't Mr. Pine, you put down the inheritance of your father? As fight skill that Knight excels.” “说起来,你并不像一名通常意义上的贵族,”罗兰笑了笑,“没有人会穿成这样外出,而且你的手上,都是硬皮茧子。派恩先生,你并没有放下你父亲的传承吧？身为骑士所擅长的战斗技巧。” He has not certainly put down, Roland thinks, otherwise all day will not run toward Hidden Forest. According to information that Barov provides, he in Border Town's this days, one week at least has three smallpoxes in Hidden Forest. Moreover goes each time is well equipped, because cannot raise attendants, he directly hires hunter to be the helper from the town. Some person instinct like to fight, Tigu Pine obviously is such person. 他当然没有放下,罗兰想,否则就不会整天往迷藏森林里跑了。根据巴罗夫提供的情报,他在边陲镇的这段日子里,一周至少有三天花在迷藏森林里。而且每次前往都是装备齐全,由于养不起侍从,他就直接从镇里雇佣猎户做帮手。有的人天性喜好战斗,提古.派恩显然就是这样的人。 „If you are willing to keep Border Town, I can you opportunity, making you ascend your father's honor again, like him, grips by the sword and courage takes the honor. Merit splendid words, I the stroke land east Border Town will be used to grant you, together land that suits the viscount status.” “如果你愿意留在边陲镇,我可以给你机会,让你重拾你父亲的荣光,像他那样,靠剑和勇气去攥取荣誉。功绩出色的话,我将在边陲镇东边划出一块土地用于赏赐你,一块适合子爵身份的土地。” Although this situation is rarely seen, but pledged that is effective. As the adulthood prince, in legal principle theory of law he has been able to confer the viscount, Baron and Knight, but little to subordinate rewarded of others family/home. First undermines a wall to lose the noble demeanor, second the opposite party refused quite to be awkward by some chance. But Roland does not care about the demeanor, he only wants Nana this movement treatment station, as for rejecting him was too not worried, after Joey becomes the southern region protection, did not have conveniently carries the past his father, showed that former gave up Pine Family. 这种情况虽然不多见,但承诺是有效的。作为已经成年的王子,法理上他可以册封子爵、男爵及骑士,只不过很少会对别人家的手下封赏罢了。一来是挖墙脚有失贵族风度,二来是万一对方拒绝就比较尴尬了。可罗兰不在乎风度,他只想要娜娜瓦这个移动治疗站,至于拒绝他也不太担心,乔伊成为南境守护后没顺手把他父亲携过去,就证明前者已经放弃了派恩家。 Tigu relents finally, „that...... Your highness, can I return to Longsong Stronghold Nana? Some people here have never resisted Evil Beast, words that if failed, I do not hope that my daughter is buried in this.” 提古终于松了口,“那……殿下,我能否将娜娜瓦送回长歌要塞？从未有人在这里抵挡过邪兽,万一失败的话,我不希望我的女儿葬身于此。” „I have told you from the beginning, Mr. Pine, danger relative. Do you have to think, if Nana were discovered in Longsong Stronghold is witch, what consequence will have? There like Border Town, Church did not take root in the city for a long time, has their followers and informers everywhere. Once expose, even if I could not save her.” “我一开始就告诉过你,派恩先生,危险是相对的。你有没有想过,万一娜娜瓦在长歌要塞被人发现是女巫,会有什么后果？那里可不像边陲镇,教会已在城中扎根已久,到处都有他们的信徒和眼线。一旦暴露,就算我也救不了她。” The Roland stop moment, adds: „Border Town will not fall into enemy hands, when Months of Demons approaches, I will fight with citizen in the city wall shoulder to shoulder. Our matches were one crowd of variations the wild animal, was not invulnerability Devil. Your father once had defeated them in open area that did not cover up, let alone our also being correct hard-to-pass city wall. If...... I meant, if had the accident/surprise, I will make Nana leave in advance,” his paused, „also has Anna. I will leave behind a boat in dock, I pledged, they will be safe and sound.” 罗兰停顿片刻,补充道:“边陲镇不会失守,当邪魔之月来临,我会在城墙上与领民并肩战斗。我们的对手不过是一群变异了的野兽,不是刀枪不入的魔鬼。你的父亲曾在毫无遮掩的空地上击败了它们,更何况我们还有道难以逾越的城墙。如果……我是说,如果真的发生了意外,我会让娜娜瓦先行离开,”他顿了顿,“还有安娜。我会在码头留下一艘小船,我承诺,她们将会安然无恙。” „Such being the case...... I believe you, Your highness,” Tigu Pine stands up, the single knee is well-grounded, throws out the chest to receive the abdomen, extends the standard Knight ritual to the prince, „I am willing to fight for you.” “既然如此……我相信您,殿下,”提古.佩恩站起身,单膝着地,挺胸收腹,向王子致以标准的骑士礼,“我愿意为您而战。” ...... …… After Tigu and Nana leave, Anna has given a Roland supercilious look. 当提古和娜娜瓦离开后,安娜给了罗兰一个白眼。 „Are you having a dream?” She said, „which my does not go.” “你在做梦么？”她说,“我哪儿也不去。”
