When west moon starts to sink, Gerald Wimbledon saw the partly visible outline of Kingdom Capital city wall in the dim light of night. 当月亮开始西沉时,戈隆.温布顿看到了王都城墙在夜色中若隐若现的轮廓。 After the several months, came back now finally, he thinks. Making a long and wearisome journey exhausted eliminated immediately much, but he as before maintains the vigilance, restrains mount of crotch, hints the assistant to go to inquire situation. 时隔数月,如今终于又回来了,他想。长途跋涉的疲惫顿时消去了不少,但他依旧保持警惕,勒住胯下的坐骑,示意副手前去打探情况。 If the plan has not changed, the guard who Scholar Ansger should defend a city changed into own trusted subordinate, after the assistant makes the signal puts down the side gate hanging bridge. 如果计划没变,昂学士应该已将守城的卫兵换成了自己的亲信,在副手打出信号后放下侧门吊桥。 He opens the eye to gaze at the front, for fear that misses that weak flame. 他睁大眼睛注视着前方,生怕自己错过那微弱的火光。 This period of standby period is not long, Gerald actually felt that the time solidified/coagulated likely generally, when the eyelid turns sour soon cannot insist, he finally saw under twinkle-- city wall that the distant place transmits two, above three, agree with the plan is same. He grows the one breath, waves to call his troops advance. 这段等待时间不长,戈隆却感觉时间像是凝固了一般,当眼皮发酸快要坚持不住时,他终于看到了远方传来的闪烁——城墙下方两下,上面三下,跟计划中约定的一样。他长出一口气,挥手招呼他的人马前进。 As the matter stands, oneself leave the throne to have one pace. 这样一来,自己离王位只有一步之遥。 Gerald rides a horse across the city wall side gate, assistant and he leads the way shoulder to shoulder. 戈隆骑着马穿过城墙侧门,副手与他并肩前行。 His also with more than 20 cavalries, all people maintains total silence, is pulling the reins, controls mount to go forward gradually. 他的身后还跟着20余名骑兵,所有人一语不发,拉扯着缰绳,控制坐骑缓步前进。 The Greycastle Kingdom Capital city wall material is from Fallen Dragon Ridge, this type of dust stone material sends out the dark-red gloss under the flare, like had been soaked by the blood generally. The entire city wall has 20 chi (0.33 m) width fully, at that time to construct the wall of this non- world, more than thousand hard labors, slaves and Stonemason died on the work site. 灰堡王都的城墙材料取自坠龙岭,这种灰褐色的石料在火把下发出暗红色的光泽,就像被血液浸泡过一般。整个城墙足有20尺宽,当时为了建造这道不世之墙,千余名苦工、奴隶、石匠死在工地上。 The impregnable bastion that ten thousand people of armies are unable to attack and capture, actually with ease is crossed by oneself now, Gerald thinks, any loophole starts from the interior. Why does not know, he has remembered new Holy City, seems like is grander and firmly the indestructible city wall, will be broken whether through from the interior? 万人大军都无法攻克的铜墙铁壁,现在却由自己轻松越过,戈隆想,任何漏洞都是从内部开始的。不知为何,他想起了新圣城,看似更为宏伟且牢不可摧的城墙,是否也会从内部被攻破？ „Your highness, I await respectfully you to be many when this.” Across city gate, Scholar Ansger and squad troops are waiting in the gate. Sees Gerald to appear, Scholar turns over/stands up dismount hastily, bows to salute. “殿下,我在此恭候您多时了。”穿过城门,昂学士和小队人马正在门边等候。见到戈隆出现,学士连忙翻身下马,躬身行礼。 Gerald abandons the distracting thoughts, is probably excited, can not help indulge in flights of fancy, „you do very well, did the guard in royal palace also exchange?” 戈隆将杂念抛开,大概是自己过于激动,情不自禁胡思乱想罢了,“你做得很好,王宫的守卫也调换了吗？” „Returns to your highness, planned to have an accident/surprise, had reached an agreement to be willing silver Knight that you worked for three days ago was adjusted southern region, now only with enough time replaces the guard in resting palace.” “回殿下,计划出现了点意外,原本已经说好愿意为您效劳的银手骑士三天前被调去了南境,现在只来得及更换寝宫的守卫。” Gerald frowned, this means own impossible takes into the royal palace more than 20 people. Guards will not stop itself, but ignores these many fully-armed people will not enter the royal family important place. 戈隆皱起了眉头,这意味着自己不可能把这20余人都带进王宫。守卫不会阻拦自己,但不会放任这么多全副武装的人进入王室要地。 „, So long as resting palace that team of people branch out two with me, other defend the entrance, do not let bystander come in disturb my then it will be alright,” his hesitant moment then set firm resolve, although plans changes, but the situation is still controlling. Father's personal guard will wait the room to pass the night generally outside, so long as some people can constrain them in a minute, oneself have confidence it cuts under the sword. “罢了,只要寝宫那队人分出两个跟着我,其余守好门口,别让外人进来打扰我就行,”他犹豫片刻便下定了决心,虽然计划有变,但局势依然在掌控中。父亲的亲卫一般会待在外室过夜,只要有人能拖住他们片刻,自己就有把握将其斩于剑下。 Enters the inner city, as if when all returns to him to leave the appearance. Although in the night, he can still identify each street. Here is his domain, without a doubt. When all people jump down the horse, the half step go forward to the royal palace, arrives in the entrance place, more than 20 people according to the plan that sets newly disperse, ambushes outside the royal palace. On such that such as Scholar Ansger said that why although the gate guard the surprise prince night turns over to Kingdom Capital, but when Gerald fooled to deceive saying that had the important matter after behind, opened the door to put him to enter in directly. 进入内城,仿佛一切又回到了他离开时的模样。尽管是在夜晚,他依然能辨认出每条街道。这里是他的地盘,毋庸置疑。所有人跳下马,快步向王宫前进,抵达门口处时,20余人按新定的计划分散开来,潜伏在王宫外。就如昂学士所说的那样,门卫虽然诧异王子为何夜归王都,但当戈隆唬骗说有要事在身后,还是直接开门放他入内。 After all, he is the King of Greycastle eldest son, the first successor in legal principle theory of law. 毕竟,他是灰堡之王的长子,法理上的第一继承人。 The prince and Scholar Ansger across the garden and main hall, the castle that proceeds again are the institutes of Wimbledon III housing. Scholar holds up about the flare in hand to sway, immediately has the guard to go out from the hidden place, to two people kneeling on one knee, „your highness, please come along with me.” 王子和昂学士穿过庭园和大殿,再往前的城堡就是温布顿三世居住之所。学士举起手中的火把左右摇晃,立刻有侍卫从暗处走出,向两人单膝跪下,“殿下,请随我来。” Gerald has attracted the nose, he smelled a smell of blood. 戈隆吸了吸鼻子,他闻到了一股血腥味。 Did not say that the guard in resting palace was replaced completely? He takes a look at that guard taking advantage of the flame, truly is person-- one that are familiar with supports itself to mount the throne Earl Knight hand/subordinate. This made him feel at ease slightly. 不是说寝宫的卫兵全部被换掉了吗？他借着火光打量那名侍卫,确实是自己熟悉的人——一名支持自己登上王位的伯爵手下的骑士。这使他稍微安心了点。 „What's wrong, did some people enter the castle?” “怎么,有人进了城堡？” „When returns to your highness, Your Majesty in the evening summoned the famous maidservant, when she comes out saw our exchanging,” opposite party answer said, „please feel relieved, we have processed.” “回殿下,陛下傍晚时召见了名侍女,她出来时看到了我们的调换,”对方回答道,“请放心,我们已经处理好了。” Maidservants? The father very long has not bumped the woman-- , since mother passed away. Gerald thinks some surprise, but does not intertwine in this minor matter now time, he nods, has not said anything again, enters the castle with the guard, other people tag along after on. 侍女？父亲已经很久没碰过女人了——自从母亲去世后。戈隆觉得有些诧异,但现在不是纠结于这种小事的时候,他点点头,没再多说什么,跟着侍卫走进城堡,其他人尾随而上。 This castle regarding Gerald, closes one's eyes can from the beginning arrive at the tail. He lived here for 20 years, where has secret passage, where has the secret door to be clear. However his trip of goals are convince the father to pass to itself the throne, covertly sneaks the resting palace to be meaningless, he must solve guarding personal guard outside, making the father thoroughly understand after own situation, under can sit to discuss the ownership of right of inheritance earnestly. 这座城堡对于戈隆来说,闭着眼睛都能从头走到尾。他在这里生活了20余年,哪里有密道,哪里有暗门都一清二楚。不过他此行的目的是来说服父亲将王位传给自己,偷偷摸摸潜入寝宫毫无意义,他必须要解决掉驻守在外的亲卫,让父亲彻底明白自己的处境后,才可以坐下来认真谈论下继承权的归属。 If cannot convince him...... 如果说服不了他的话…… Gerald Wimbledon deep took a deep breath, puts out a hand to hint people to stop, draws out the back both hands big sword. 戈隆.温布顿深深吸了一口气,伸手示意众人停下,拔出背后的双手大剑。 Corridor end bronze front door only entrance to lead to resting palace, after the gate , is outside the room , before is the resting palace, last defense line, there is usually guarding two to three personal guard, when comes across the accident/surprise can break in the resting palace to protect Your Majesty for a while. 走廊尽头的青铜大门就是通向寝宫的唯一入口,门后便是外室,也是寝宫前最后一道防线,那里通常驻守着两到三名亲卫,遇到意外时可以第一时间冲入寝宫保护陛下。 Gerald opens a small seam the front door first, then the leaning shoulder hits, indoor sneaks into fast, lifts the sword to make to meet the approaching enemy in the posture-- but outside room quiet, actually a person does not have. Meanwhile, a strong smell of blood greets the nostrils. 戈隆先将大门推开条小缝,接着侧肩一撞,快速窜入室内,举剑做出迎击姿势——但外室里静悄悄的,竟然一个人都没有。同时,一股浓烈的血腥味扑鼻而来。 He flashes through one to have a premonition unclear, the directly toward resting palace rushes. 他心里闪过一丝不详地预感,直接朝寝宫奔去。 Gerald saw that does not dare to believe. 紧接着戈隆看到了不敢置信的一幕。 Wimbledon III wears the sleeping robe to sit in the head slantingly, the upper body by the pillow, the gown opens wide, the chest place inserts a sword hilt, the blood is dripping following the belly of sticking out, has soaked the quilt. 温布顿三世穿着睡袍坐在床头,上身斜靠在枕垫上,袍子敞开,胸口处插着一把剑柄,血液顺着隆起的肚子淌下,浸湿了被子。 Side the father is standing, unexpectedly is own younger brother, Timothy Wimbledon. 父亲身边站着的,竟是自己的弟弟,提费科.温布顿。 „What's wrong...... How can?” Gerald is startled on the spot. “怎……怎么会？”戈隆怔在原地。 „Just like you, Elder Brother,” Timothy sighed, „I do not want to do this.” “跟你一样,哥哥,”提费科叹了口气,“我本不想这样做的。” He claps, after the gate, spills into a group of iron armor warriors rapidly, surrounds First Prince all round, „this is a chessgame, I want to walk according to the custom. Elder Brother, do you know? Third Sister she does not have under the plan from the beginning this chess, naturally...... You are also. How otherwise to hear the constellation prediction of Scholar Ansger from afar to rush toward Kingdom Capital. Said, if you do not come, I really am also at a loss.” 他拍拍手,门后迅速涌进一批铁甲武士,将大王子团团包围,“这是一场棋局,我原想按照规矩走完。哥哥,你知道吗？三妹她从一开始就没打算下这盘棋,当然……你也是。不然怎么会听到昂学士的星象预言就千里迢迢地奔赴王城。说真的,如果你不来,我还真是束手无策。” „Scholar!” “学士！” He clenches teeth to look backward, Scholar Ansger backs up one step, lets go saying: „I have not deceived you, " revelation star to flaminging the date went far away " , symbolise deviated the correct path for the way person, but it also had the meaning of falling from the sky similarly.” 他咬着牙向后望去,昂学士倒退一步,摊手道:“我可没有骗你,「天启星正离炽日远去」,喻意为寻路人偏离了正确的道路,但它同样也有陨落的意思。” Now Gerald understood completely, from the beginning, oneself fell into a snare of careful design. Perhaps the smell of blood of castle entrance is not the maidservant stays behind, the silver Knight transferred excuse is also. But what most made his desperate was, has considered his more than ten years, since childhood Scholar Ansger that taught him to be literate, chose Second Prince-- to be the same with his father eventually. 现在戈隆完全明白了,从一开始,自己就落入了一个精心设计的圈套中。城堡门口的血腥味恐怕不是什么侍女留下的,银手骑士被调离的说辞也是。但最令他绝望的是,照顾了他十多年,从小就教他识文断字的昂学士,终究还是选择了二王子——跟他父亲一样。 „Timothy Wimbledon! Similarly is the son, but he has poured into that many painstaking care to you only, the best territory will divide to you, has not thought that you actually first instead bite his one! You only come from Devil of hell simply!” “提费科.温布顿！同样是儿子,可他唯独对你倾注了那么多心血,将最好的领地划分给你,没想到你却最先反咬他一口！你简直是只来自地狱的魔鬼！” In the Timothy eye flashes through an anger, but vanishes quickly does not see, „do you think really? Dear Elder Brother, if this line cannot convince him to inherit the throne to you, you will plan to give up really in light of this? Do not deceive yourself.” 提费科眼中闪过一丝愤怒,但很快消失不见,“你真的这么认为吗？亲爱的哥哥,假若此行未能说服他将王位继承给你,你真的会打算就此罢手？别骗自己了。”
