„Gift?” Roland has selected the brow, „what is?” “礼物？”罗兰挑了挑眉头,“是什么？” „Northern Lands Hawse Family and Lesta Family...... Your Majesty, two Earl refused to obey your rule, but also attempted to collude with other noble to plot a rebellion, the father has seen through their clever trick ahead of time, has given two proper punishments.” Kohl regret said/tunnel, „, but as a result of my negligence, has not expected you to return to Western Region ahead of time, shattered on the road as the head of evidence.” “北地的霍斯家和利斯塔家……陛下,两位伯爵拒不服从您的统治,还妄图勾结其余贵族谋反,父亲提前看穿了他们的诡计,给予了两家应有的惩处。”科尔遗憾地道,“但由于我的疏忽,没料到您会提前返回西境,作为证据的头颅已经在路上坏掉了。” „Wait/Etc., has your father executed two Earl directly?” “等等,你父亲直接处死了两位伯爵？” „,” His looked at an assistant, „.” “呃,”他偏头望了眼助手,“是的。” This offers services to effort to expect that must be intense...... Does to throw with two Earl heads describes, means that they have the support of eastern region noble very much difficultly again, at least joined up to revolt against the possibility of oneself territory greatly to reduce. Roland mused, but now Nightingale not in side, does not know that the opposite party is cheating itself. 这个投效力度比自己预想得要激烈啊……拿两个伯爵的人头作投名状,意味着他们很难再得到东境贵族的支持,至少联合起来反抗自己领地的可能性就大大降低了。罗兰暗想,不过如今夜莺不在身边,也不知道对方是不是在蒙骗自己。 He has hesitated the moment, said to Barov in a low voice, „Northern Lands does have these two families?” 他沉吟了片刻,对身旁的巴罗夫低声道,“北地有这两个家族吗？” „Wharf Hawse and dual spears/pistols Lesta is the northern region aristocratic family, the reputation is more prominent than Western Region Five Major Families, the Lesta ancestor is the Wimbledon family wears armor has gone on an expedition, the dual spears/pistols on family emblem are from the Kingdom of Greycastle flag.” Barov feels the beard, said at a moderate pace, „naturally, this was more than 200 years ago matters. The Kant fame does not reveal actually, I remember that is family that nearly 50 years present...... Has not thought that Timothy will select Calvin Kant to wield as northern region unexpectedly, even if to divert other two, the strength differs the disparate words is very difficult to play the proper role, but also is easy to cause the disaffection of established family.” “马头霍斯和双枪利斯塔都是北境的世家,名声比西境五大家还要显赫,其中利斯塔的先祖为温布顿家族披甲征战过,家徽上的双枪正是取自灰堡王国旗帜。”巴罗夫摸着胡子,不紧不慢地说道,“当然,这都是200多年前的事情了。倒是康德家名气不显,我记得是个近50年才出现的家族……没想到提费科居然会挑中卡尔文.康德作为北境执掌,就算是为了牵制其他两家,实力相差悬殊的话也很难起到应有的作用,还容易引起老牌家族的不满。” „What therefore he said is real?” Roland neglected old Prime Minister following one for showing off knowledge vast talking incessantly automatically. “所以他说的是真的？”罗兰自动忽略了老总管后面一段用于炫耀学识广博的唠叨。 „Yeah...... The possibility of lying is not big,” Barov said in a low voice, „this matter concerns the noble glory, if you comply to accept their giving loyalty, passes on to be confirmed is lying, Northern Lands will be chaotic first.” “嗯……说谎的可能性不大,”巴罗夫低声道,“这事关乎贵族的荣耀,如果您答应接受他们的效忠,传出去被证实是说谎的话,北地自己就会先乱起来。” Said that is also reasonable, he nods slightly, moreover is the lie issue is actually not big, the key was own bottom line has been placed there, if can accept to give up the fief power, all can discuss, if were determined to hold the authority, then the expensive gift did not have the significance. 这么说也有道理,他微微颔首,而且是不是谎言其实问题不大,关键在于自己的底线已经摆在那儿了,若能接受放弃封地权,一切都可以谈,若执意要抓住权柄,那么再贵重的礼物都没有意义。 Thinks of here, Roland smiled toward Kohl, „first, I must express gratitude to Duke, maintains the royal family honor is each noble proper responsibility, your father does very well. Next, two Earl punishment is deserved, the kingdom will not investigate Kant Duke this act.” 想到这里,罗兰朝科尔笑了笑,“首先,我得向公爵表示感谢,维护王室荣誉是每个贵族应有的责任,你父亲做得很不错。其次,两位伯爵罪有应得,王国不会追究康德公爵的此举。” „Is? The father very much happily will certainly hear these words,” Kohl relaxed likely, „he has hoped can for the true King potency, currently finally had the opportunity.” “是、是吗？父亲一定会很高兴听到这番话,”科尔像是松了口气,“他一直希望能为真正的国王效力,现在终于有了机会。” „Yes, I am also glad to accept Northern Lands Duke gives loyalty to...... The premise is he can comply with the Greycastle's new regulation.” “是么,我也很乐意接受北地公爵的效忠……前提是他能遵从灰堡的新律法。” „New regulation?” He stares slightly, „what is that?” “新律法？”他微微一愣,“那是什么？” „Takes back noble to enfeoff the authority related the rule,” Roland is sizing up the look of opposite party, every single word or phrase said, „from now on, the kingdom will not have to enfeoff noble again, you can the simple understanding be, in Greycastle all territories only have a master, that is King.” “有关收回贵族分封权力的条例,”罗兰打量着对方的神色,一字一句说道,“今后,王国将不会再有分封贵族,你可以简单理解为,灰堡内所有的领地都只有一个主人,那就是国王。” „What? Your Majesty, this......” the expression big change of Kohl, turned the head to look once more to the assistant. “什么？陛下,这……”科尔的表情大变,再次转头望向了助手。 Really is this fellow the Duke second son? Although looked like young, but was also insufficient to link his court ladies to be inferior...... At least the latter merely slightly opened mouth, appearance calm-- is still natural, is she is not possibly able to understand own these words meaning. 这家伙真是公爵的次子吗？虽然看起来年轻了点,但也不至于连他的女官都不如啊……至少后者仅仅是稍微张了张嘴,模样依然镇定——当然,也可能是她根本无法理解自己这番话的含义。 „Does not need to worry, noble is still noble, your liberal life cannot have any change, moreover there is an opportunity to reach a new peak,” Roland clapped, making attendants handed over already to prepare well " publicity booklet " , „Longsong Stronghold comprehensively carry out this set of regulation, in the handbook, you can see many stories of transformation, as well as will join in this's noble example-- it seems like will make noble lose part of privileges, but in fact also liberated from fief noble, joined in the kingdom, even is in the big stage in entire mainland.” “不用着急,贵族依然是贵族,你们的优渥生活不会发生任何改变,而且还有机会登上一个新的高峰,”罗兰拍拍手,让侍从递上早已准备好的「宣传手册」,“长歌要塞已经全面推行了这套律法,在手册上,你可以看到许多变革的小故事,以及投身于此的贵族实例——它看似会让贵族失去一部分特权,但实际上也把贵族从封地里解放出来,投身到王国、甚至是整个大陆的大舞台中。” The opposite party is bewildered, „, but...... I do not know......” 对方一脸茫然,“可是……我不知道……” The performance of Kohl disappoints Roland slightly somewhat, but thinks also normally, after all is adulthood soon second son, it is estimated that this line also plays the responsibility of airphone, cannot decide to make the decision. 科尔的表现让罗兰略有些失望,不过想想也正常,毕竟还是个成年不久的次子,估计此行也只是起到传话筒的职责,并不能拍板做出决定。 „Might as well, you can feed in news to Calvin Duke, before he answered, you may keep Neverwinter City greatly, under the visit this place unique scenery-- I think that you will like on here.” “无妨,你可以把消息传回给卡尔文公爵,在他答复之前,你大可留在无冬城,参观下此地的独特风景——我想你会喜欢上这儿的。” Although sends itself to have the representative sincerity meaning the second son, but Roland does not plan to waste this sincerity, temporarily first detains, treated as to prevent the guarantee that the opposite party took risks. 虽说把次子派来本身就有代表诚意的意思,但罗兰也不打算浪费这份诚意,暂时就先扣留下来,当作防止对方铤而走险的保证好了。 He thinks that this discussion will come hence to the end, has not actually thought that Kohl proposed another request. 他原以为这次会谈会至此告一段落,却没想到科尔提出了另一个请求。 „Your Majesty, how I can visit your territory to make Stream Ship and Steam engine?” “陛下,我能参观您的领地是如何制造明轮船和蒸汽机的吗？” This novel request, Roland have a relish is looking at him actually, „you to this being interested?” 这倒是一个新奇的要求,罗兰饶有兴致地望着他,“你对这个感兴趣？” „Yes, I heard in Kingdom Capital this type of unusual ships, after arriving at Western Region, discovers it to be everywhere, how my very curious Stream Ship does not depend upon the sail to march forward.” Kohl caresses the chest to say. “是的,我在王都就听说了这种奇特的船只,来到西境后才发现它比比皆是,我十分好奇明轮船是如何不依靠风帆行进的。”科尔抚胸道。 „So that's it,” he nods with a smile, „I will let the Barov Prime Minister arrangement.” “原来如此,”他笑着点点头,“我会让巴罗夫总管安排的。” ...... …… Processes the northern region envoy matters concerned, Roland returns to the office, prepares then to complete the blueprint in hand, suddenly hears out of the window to hear the rapid knocking. He has turned head, actually saw two unexpected forms. 处理完北境使者的事宜,罗兰返回办公室,准备接着完成手中的设计图,忽然听到窗外传来急促的敲击声。他回过头,却看到了两个意想不到的身影。 Lightning is lying on the windowsill, Macy squats in her top of the head is pecking the glass. 闪电正趴在窗沿上,麦茜则蹲在她头顶啄着玻璃。 Roland at heart immediately one tight, this third day, Stream Ship should such quickly not come back to be right, had an accident? 罗兰心里顿时一紧,这才第三天,明轮船理应不会这么快回来才对,难道出事了？ „How did you come back first?” He opens the window, asked hurriedly, „other people?” “你们怎么先回来了？”他打开落地窗,急忙问道,“其他人呢？” „Your Majesty! We caught Devil!” “陛下！我们抓到魔鬼了！” „But Anna, Leaf and Nightingale were injured gu!” “但是安娜、叶子和夜莺都受了伤咕！” „Is good because of the issue is not big!” “好在问题不大！” „But is very painful gu! Can you make Miss Nana go one with us?” “但还是挺痛的咕！您能让娜娜瓦小姐跟我们去一趟吗？” Listened to two people to say competitively, Roland felt own heart resembles sat a roller coaster to be common, his hasn't released a long breath, „obstructed really greatly?” 听两人争先恐后的说完,罗兰感到自己的心脏像坐了趟过山车一般,他长出了口气,“真的没大碍？” „Does not have gu!” “没有咕！” „I called people to meet Nana,” he turned around to walk toward the room, „next time remembers had the words to say!” “我去叫人把娜娜瓦接来,”他转身向房间外走去,“下次记得有话要一口气说完！” ...... …… Arrived The next day in the evening, two Stream Ship appear west Scarlet Water River finally. 到隔天傍晚,两艘明轮船终于出现在赤水河西头。 In order to avoid the people sees Devil to cause scared, First Army remains behind the army to empty No. 22 trestle, and has prepared a greenhouse carriage. In the castle back garden also put up temporary barracks to act as the laboratory, will launch under the Leaf guardianship in view of the research of Devil and Sigil. 为了避免群众看到魔鬼引起恐慌,第一军留守部队已经将22号栈桥清空,并准备了一辆大棚马车。城堡后花园里也搭起了一座临时木板房充作实验室,针对魔鬼和符印的研究将在叶子的监护下展开。 Saw that Anna and Nightingale go down the trestle, Roland felt relieved thoroughly, from set off to the return is about four days of time, actually the resembles separated had not seen several months. Especially after hearing two people injured news, the time crossed slowly. 见到安娜和夜莺走下栈桥,罗兰彻底放下心来,从出发到回归不过四天时间,却像隔了数月没见似的。特别是听到两人受伤的消息后,时间就过得更慢了。 „This duty was laborious,” he raises the corners of the mouth, stretches out the arms to Anna. “这次任务辛苦了,”他扬起嘴角,向安娜张开双臂。 Latter does not have answer, but is half step throws in his bosom, made an effort to hug a solidity him. 后者没有回答,而是快步扑进他的怀中,用力将他抱了个结实。 Nightingale sighed, „you reached an agreement in the castle we...... dock is unsafe, Your Majesty.” 夜莺则叹了口气,“你说好在城堡等我们的……码头并不安全,陛下。” „You are also,” Roland said with a smile, „was laborious.” “你也是,”罗兰笑道,“辛苦了。” „Yeah......” she does not begin comfortably, „actually also good.” “嗯……”她不自在地偏开头,“其实也还好。” Anna loosens Roland, has also drawn Nightingale. 安娜松开罗兰,将夜莺也拉了过来。 Then is Wendy and Leaf...... 接着是温蒂、叶子…… This all witch and Roland hugged, Agatha and Iffy is no exception. 这次所有女巫都和罗兰拥抱了一遍,爱葛莎与伊菲也不例外。 Under the dark red setting sun shines, the form of people was been always long by pulling. 在暗红的夕阳映照下,众人的身影被拉得老长。
