贵族们签字了。Onlytakesoneminute, the Southern Regionaristocratsystemis detainedlastinfluencethenvanish like smoke and disperse like cloudsonthislands.
只需要一分钟,南境贵族体系滞留在这片土地上的最后一丝影响力便烟消云散。Gawainsitswith a stance of solemn silenceon the longtable the head, 31Feudal Lord that Southern Regionfortunately survivessitsby the longtable, successor of one by onehonoredandancientsurnameherewere low the head, is silentis signingownnamein the presentdocument, butin the corner of hall, an old person who wears the scholarlong gownis directingownapprenticeslightlyunwieldyMagic Guiding Deviceto shift to the longtable the direction.高文以一种庄严肃穆的姿态坐在长桌上首,南境幸存下来的三十一名领主则坐在长桌两侧,一个个尊贵而古老的姓氏的继承人们在这里低下了头颅,沉默着在眼前的文件上签下自己的名字,而在大厅的角落里,一个身穿学者长袍的老人正指挥着自己的学徒将一台略显笨重的魔导装置转向长桌的方向。That is actually magic circuitcommunication, althoughitunwieldytoneeding a young and vigorousmancanlift, buthas actually been representingCecilat presentmost excellenttechnology.
那其实就是一台魔网通讯器,虽然它笨重到需要一个年轻力壮的男人才能抬得起来,但却已经代表着塞西尔目前最高超的技术。

当魔网通讯器的摄影水晶中倒映出长桌旁景象的时候,戈德温?奥兰多毫不迟疑地按动了设备上的一个按钮。In another room in not far away, Arcane Printing Pressaboveprojectioncrystalshone, in the hologramprojectionpresents the scene in bigassembly hall, ina series ofmechanical operationsoundsalong withmachine, itsArcane Transfer Printing Cylindersurfaceappears the brilliance of magicenergy, the image that andwill transmitprintsfast, inhad preparedon the goodpaper.
在不远处的另外一个房间里,一台奥术印刷机上方的投影水晶亮了起来,全息投影中呈现出大会议厅内的景象,伴随着机器内部一连串的机械运转声,它的奥术转印筒表面浮现出魔法能量的光辉,并将传输过来的图像飞快地印在了早已准备好的纸张上。Hettytakes outthatpaperfrom the printing pressside, itscurls upandsealsinto the envelopecautiously, gavehas waitedin a nearbyassistant„delivers to the newspaper office, toldthem, withfull page.”赫蒂从印刷机的侧面取出那张纸,将其小心翼翼地卷起并封入封筒,递给早已等候在旁边的一名助手“送到报社,告诉他们,用整版。”
The assistantslikeholding the most precious object„ledger wall”were carrying off that Hettylooks at the machineabovehologramprojectionfeelinga great deal, cannot bearat presentacclaimsin a soft voice„is really inconceivable......”
助手如同捧着至宝般把那张“底板”带走了,赫蒂则看着眼前机器上方的全息投影感慨良多,忍不住轻声赞叹“真是难以想象……”Carmelfloatsin the one side, after hearing the Hettywords, asked„youinsaying the assembly hall the matter, wasthisequipment?”卡迈尔漂浮在一旁,听到赫蒂的话之后问道“你是在说会议厅里发生的事情,还是这台装置?”„Has,”Hettyhas turned the head, saidseriously, that „oldaristocratssignwill be recordedin this manner, andspreads overentireSouthern Regionat an exceptional pace, by faranybulletin, anyspeaking, anyrumor, the ironclad proofwill proliferatethislands, in the unstoppableway...... I have thoughtthesecanquarrying a mountaincrackstonecannonbe the most powerfulweapons, butIunderstandnowfinally...... why the ancestorsaidprinting presstakes the weaponsimilarmightto be huge.”
“都有,”赫蒂转过头,严肃地说道,“旧贵族们签约的一幕将会以这种方式被记录下来,并以惊人的速度传遍整个南境,远胜任何告示,任何宣讲,任何流言,铁证将遍布这片土地,以无可阻挡的方式……我一直以为那些能够开山裂石的巨炮是最强大的武器,但现在我终于明白了……为什么先祖说印刷机作为武器同样威力巨大。”Afterwardshelowers the head, looks atis squattingbehind the Arcane Printing Pressside, disassembles the machinelapto inspectinternalworking conditionRebecca„......, moreoverthischildactuallythinksquicklyusage that magic circuitcommunicationandArcane Printing Presscombine, thismakesmesurprisedsimilarly.”
随后她低下头,看着正蹲在奥术印刷机侧后方,拆开机器盖板检查内部运转情况的瑞贝卡“……而且这孩子竟然这么快就想到了魔网通讯器和奥术印刷机组合起来的用法,这同样让我惊讶。”„Iveryearlyhave said that Rebeccais a talent, shedoes not lose the Cecil Familyglory,” the Gawain'ssoundconveysfrom the entrancedirection, involves the conversation of HettyandinCarmel, „, but as foryourfrontwords...... Iwas very happy that andmedia ’ combinedin the togetherstrengthyourfinallyconscioustoprinting press ‚.”
“我很早就说过,瑞贝卡是个天才,她不负塞西尔家族的荣耀,”高文的声音从门口的方向传来,介入到赫蒂和卡迈尔的交谈中,“而至于你前面的话……我很高兴你终于意识到印刷机和‘传媒’组合在一起的力量了。”Is drillingunderprinting pressstudies the machinesituationRebeccato hear the Gawain'ssound, immediatelyshoutshappilywhilesets out„! Lord Ancestoryoucome! Youa moment ago were really......”
正钻在印刷机下面研究机器情况的瑞贝卡听到了高文的声音,立刻高兴地一边嚷嚷一边起身“啊!祖先大人您来啦!您刚才真是太……”„!!”
“哐!!”

The sceneno onethoughtincorrectwhichobstinately the Gawainspeechhas......
现场愣是没有一个人觉得高文说话有哪不对的……
The Hettywhole facestaredRebeccaonereluctantly, butremembers the previousquarterstillto praisethisgirl, the words that thereforeblamedat heartsuppressednot to sayfinally, hasto turn towardGawainshifttopic„ancestor, did youabandonthesearistocrats?”赫蒂满脸无奈地瞪了瑞贝卡一眼,但想起自己前一刻还在夸这姑娘,于是心里责备的话憋到最后也没说出来,只好向着高文转移话题“先祖,您把那些贵族都扔下了?”„Theirsigningconference had ended,”Gawainsaidindifferently,„allsubsequent arrangementsIhave explainedwiththem, thissoon. Naturally, tocelebratethemobtainsfreeandbecomes a Cecil'smember, Iarranged a banquet of small scaletothem......, buttheywill hold the what kindmoodto participate inthatmenot to manage.”
“他们签完字会议就已经结束了,”高文无所谓地说道,“所有的后续安排我都已经跟他们说明白,这用不了多长时间。当然,为了庆祝他们获得自由并成为塞西尔的一份子,我给他们安排了一次小规模的宴席……但他们会抱着什么样的心情去参加那我就不管了。”Saidthese, one side Gawainbeckons with the hand„thesefirstto place- ‚did picture’print? Effecthow?”
说完这些,高文摆了摆手“这些先放在一边-‘照片’印出来了么?效果怎么样?”„, Is sorry the ancestor, Ihave made one send off,”Hettyslightlycalled out in alarmone, reported that „effectwas very good, the illusionmagicseal'seffectafterpaperandtraditional‚shorthand’magic spellhad very bigdifference, buthad the third dimension.”
“啊,抱歉先祖,我已经让人送走了,”赫蒂小小地惊呼了一声,紧接着报告道,“效果很好,把幻象魔法印在纸上之后的效果和传统的‘速记’法术有很大区别,但更有真实感。”„Thatis good, youhave verifiedwell,”Gawainnodssatisfied, laterlookedstillwipedRebeccaone that the tearssniffedinside, „sillychild, but also was sore?”
“那就好,你审核过就好,”高文满意地点点头,随后看了还在旁边抹眼泪抽鼻子的瑞贝卡一眼,“傻孩子,还疼么?”„It is not sore,”Rebeccastraightened one's neckto become flushed the face saying that butfollowed close onto shake the head, „wasin the skullalsoa littlehumming sound......”
“不疼,”瑞贝卡梗着脖子涨红了脸说道,但紧跟着就晃晃脑袋,“就是脑壳里还有点嗡嗡的……”looks atthisgirlcalmlook, Gawain can only not know whether to laugh or cryforcefullysighs„- youprotectyourhead, such goodmindreallywantedto hitstupidly the lossto be possibletooto be big.”看着这姑娘强行镇定的模样,高文只能哭笑不得地叹口气“唉-你还是保护好自己的脑袋吧,这么好的头脑真要自己撞傻了损失可就太大了。”Hetty is also not knowing whether to laugh or crylook, shesighedlow voice, shifts toGawain„ancestor, youthink the aristocrat who thesesignatureswill stabilizewell?”赫蒂也是一副哭笑不得的模样,她小声叹了口气,转向高文“先祖,您认为那些签字的贵族会好好安定下来么?”„To be honest, Inevertrustthem, no matteraftertheysignsignature,”heredoes not have the bystander, to be direct, „, butI who Gawainsaiddo not needthemfrom the heartto supportmeoropposeme, thisdoes not have the significance. Wemustmaintaintotheirvigilance, maintainstotheirmonitoring, at leastcontinuestillthemandtheirfirst-generationdescendantdeath ray, even ifthesetwogenerations of died, we must continueto be vigilanttheiroffspringlater generationaction, butmonitors to becometemperately.”
“老实说,我从不信任他们,不管是在他们签字前还是签字后,”这里没有外人,高文说的非常直接,“但我也并不需要他们发自内心地支持我或者反对我,这都没有意义。我们要保持对他们的警惕,维持对他们的监控,至少持续到他们和他们的第一代后裔都死光为止,而即便这两代人死光了,我们也要继续警惕他们子孙后代的举动,只不过监控会变得温和一些而已。”Gawainraised the head, looksto the direction of assembly hall, hisline of sightas ifpenetrates the wall and shutter, canseedirectlytheseare pacing back and forth the Southern Regionaristocrattofield.高文抬起头,看向会议厅的方向,他的视线仿佛透过墙壁和门板,能直接看到那些正在仿徨离场的南境贵族。„Todayremembers the aristocrat and first-generationdirect descendantheir who signherecannottake part in government, cannotparticipate ingovernment affairshallanyduty, cannotenter the educational system and news communicationsystem, even if is the most juniorclerk, the substitute teacher and assistant editoris not good, ifinthemreallylefthad the ability the safeperson, theycando business, canbe the investor, Ievenallowedthemto set up the factory, so long astheywere wise, theycanrely ontheseonfar before landed noblewas more comfortable than the wealthylife, butgovernment affairshallandschoolandinnewspaper office...... nottheirpositions.”
“记住今日在这里签字的贵族及其第一代嫡系子嗣不可从政,不可参与政务厅任何职务,也不可进入教育体系和新闻传播体系,哪怕是去做最初级的书记员、代课教师和助理编辑也不行,如果他们里面真的出了有能力又稳妥的人,他们可以经商,可以做投资者,我甚至允许他们开办工厂,只要他们有头脑,他们可以凭借这些过上远比之前当土地贵族更加舒适富裕的生活,但政务厅和学校、报社里面……没有他们的位置。”„Yes,”Hettynods to sayseriously, butsheissomewhatworried,„...... perhapswewill misssometalentsas the matter stands. The direct descendantheir of aristocratisat presentonthislands the most outstandingintellectual, theirperhapsmajorityis the destabilizing factor, buthascanstriveandenlighten......”
“是,”赫蒂严肃地点头应道,但她还是有些担心,“可是这样一来……或许我们会错过一些人才。贵族的嫡系子嗣是目前这片土地上最优秀的知识分子,他们或许大部分是不安定因素,但其中还是有可以争取和教化的……”Gawainsighed, the Hettywordsheunderstands certainly that „Iallowedthem to do businessto run the factoryafter the inspection, thisavoid as much as possiblehad wasted, moreoverthesehavemanyrisks and potential problems, the synthesisconsiderationrisksize and prospective return, thislinewasimmutable. Moreover, Ihave not limited dead completely- second, third-generationoldaristocratheir, the collateral branch that non-is closely related, some peopleincanenjoyafter the inspectionobservationwith the ordinary citizensameright.”高文叹了口气,赫蒂的话他当然明白“我允许他们在通过考核之后经商办工厂,这已经是尽可能避免浪费了,而且这其中已经有着不少的风险隐患,综合考量风险大小和预期收益,这条线是不能变的。另外,我也没有完全限制死-第二、第三代的旧贵族子嗣,还有非嫡出的旁支,这部分人在经过考核观察之后是可以享有和普通公民一样的权利的。”At this point , he thensaid„naturally, this can still misssometalents, moreover lacksfairlytothem, butthisisnecessaryprice- weare very easyin the army that in the battlefieldeliminates the oldaristocrat, but if theybecome one of the Cecilsystem, wantsto eliminateto be possibleagainto bethem a hugeissue.”
说到这里,他顿了顿,接着说道“当然,这样仍然会错失一些人才,而且对他们也缺乏公平,可这是必要的代价-我们在战场上消灭旧贵族的军队很容易,但假如他们成为了塞西尔体系的一员,再想把他们清除出去可就是个巨大的问题了。”Hettydeeplylowers the head„is, Iunderstood.”赫蒂深深低下头“是,我明白了。”Gawainhesitated, added„this, ifyoureallyfound the talent of unusualapprovalin the Southern Regionaristocratsas well astheirdirect descendantchildren, canreportgivesme, Iwill organizeto inspectanduse judgmentconsiderpersonally.”高文沉吟了一下,补充道“这样吧,如果你真的在南境贵族以及他们的嫡系子女中找到了非常认可的人才,可以报告给我,我会亲自组织考核并酌情考虑的。”Afterwardheshoutedtone„following, makingushave a look atourtrueguests.”
随后他呼了口气“接下来,让我们去看看我们真正的客人吧。”
From conferencearea not farregion, notbutgreatlyactuallyinneatcomfortablereception room, Andrew? LeslieandLopenny Glencalmlyare waiting for the arrival of Duke.
在距离会议区不远的区域,一间不大但却整洁舒适的会客厅中,安德鲁?莱斯利和罗佩妮?葛兰正静静地等着公爵的到来。„On this dayquick, not?”Viscount Andrewcarriesin the hand the black tea, is smilingexpressing best wishestonearbyViscountess, „thatas ifyesterday- Cecillast yearwas a dyingsurname, todaytheyhave actually ruledSouthern Region.”
“这一天来的很快,不是么?”安德鲁子爵端起手中红茶,向旁边的女子爵微笑着致意,“那仿佛是在昨天-塞西尔去年还是个垂死的姓氏,今日他们却已经君临南境了。”Lopenny Glenrevealedmanytemperaturessmile„Inot to waitto be possibleincessantly1-2 years, Mr. Viscount.”罗佩妮?葛兰露出一个并没多少温度的笑容“我等了可不止1-2,子爵先生。”„......

“……您是一位值得敬佩的女士,您有着信念,心志也比我坚定,”安德鲁子爵在片刻的沉默之后说道,他的态度真诚,随后又有些自嘲,“不像我,我最初只是在投资一笔生意。”„Investment?”Lopennycuriouslylooks atthisis somewhat pale, becauseit is saidexcessivelytakesmagic medicine, butphysiqueweakman, shetoodoes not understandthispassing, „investment of what kind?”
“投资?”罗佩妮有些好奇地看着这个脸色苍白,据说因为过度服食魔药而体质虚弱的男人,她并不太了解这段过往,“什么样的投资?”„To the investment of Duke Cecil,”Andrew? The Leslievisionlooksto the front, saidin a soft voice,„that is really the boldestbusiness that my whole lifedoes......”
“对塞西尔公爵的投资,”安德鲁?莱斯利的目光望向前方,轻声说道,“那真是我这辈子做的最大胆的生意……”„NowGawainwasourmonarchies,”Lopenny Glencalmlylooks atViscount Andrew, „did thisinvestmentgainin your opinion?”
“现在高文是我们的君主了,”罗佩妮?葛兰静静地看着安德鲁子爵,“这笔投资在你看来是赚了么?”„Gainedcompensated......”Andrew?

“赚了还是赔了……”安德鲁?莱斯利低声咕哝着,他脑海中浮现出了在过去一年内迅猛发展的领地,那领地已经彻底成为塞西尔的工业原料产地,他脑海中浮现出自己在过去一年内赚取到的惊人财富,那每一个金币和银币上都打着塞西尔的标记,他已经被视为莱斯利家族有史以来最优秀、最仁慈、最开明的领主,他的人民赞扬他,赞扬他坚定不移地执行着塞西尔的法律……HemustbecomeMagistrate of Tanzancity, as the proof of merit, in the government affairshall in TanzancityalsoforeverreservedLeslie Family.
他就要成为坦桑市的执政官了,作为功绩的证明,坦桑市的政务厅内也将永远保留莱斯利家族的一席。He believes that so long asLeslie Familyfrom now ondoes not make the disobedientmatter, so long asis not excessively stupid, thenhisoffspringlater generationwill enjoy the greatassetforever, when thiswealth and pasttooklandFeudal Lordcompared, manytobeing inconceivable.
他相信,莱斯利家族今后只要不作出忤逆之事,只要不过度愚蠢,那么他的子孙后代将永享巨大的财富,这财富和过去作为土地领主时相比,多到难以想象。Buttheywill also losein the power that onFeudal Territoryhas absolute power over somebodyforever, even...... they must obeyManagement of government affairshall.
但他们也将永远失去在领地上生杀予夺的权力,甚至……他们还必须服从政务厅的管理。
Did thisinvestment, gainorcompensates?
这笔投资,是赚了还是赔了呢?„Naturallygained,”Andrew? Leslieraised the head, shows the smile, the toneis not scruple, „Igained certainly, moreover can only gain.”
“当然是赚了,”安德鲁?莱斯利抬起头来,露出微笑,语气毫无迟疑,“我当然赚了,而且也只能是赚了。”
