加文·诺斯伯爵年逾四十,身材高大健美,脸部线条刚硬但不失英武,一条疤痕从其眉间穿插而过,但极浅,反而为其平添一丝勇武。HeandTed·NourseDukesits together, someDarkethenfeelings, this【The tiger of north wind】AlmostisNourseDuke1 : 1 duplicate/restorescarves.
他与泰德·诺斯公爵坐在一起时,达克便有种感觉,这位【北风之虎】几乎是诺斯公爵的一比一复刻。Althoughtheyshowedtwoentirely differentattitudesto the samematterat this time, butthatmostlywas the difference that the age differencebrought.
尽管他们此时对同一件事表现出了两种决然不同的态度,但那多半是年龄差异带来的不同。Anotherreason, whenis relatedwithhisStanley·Longfellow.
另外一点原因,当与其身边的斯坦利·朗费罗有关。CountStanley·Longfellow the statureis thin, the lookis impractical, takes a quick look aroundseems likepulls out the spatialworthless fellowby the wine and women, butthatobviouslyis only not a wisecamouflage.
斯坦利·朗费罗伯爵身材瘦削,眼神虚浮,一眼看去像是被酒色掏空的酒囊饭袋,但那显然只是一层并不高明的伪装。Ifsomereallypeoplebutthereforehas the contempttoit, that is also the person of nothing to be afraid.
如果真有人因此而对其产生轻视,那也就是不足为惧之人。Dispatchesto come, to processleader of Mountain of the Myriad Godsrelatedmatteras the kingin secret, Stanley·Longfellowis not the surfacelike thatemaciated.
作为国王暗中派遣而来,处理众神之山相关之事的负责人,斯坦利·朗费罗绝非表面那般孱弱。Althoughdoes not know how heachieves, buthisalreadywon overone side ofCount·Nourseone's own sideobviously.
虽然不知道他是怎么做到的,但他显然已经将加文·诺斯伯爵拉拢到了己方一侧。Alsotherefore, hadimmediatelythisdiscussion.
也因此,才有了当下这场会谈。HowDarkewins over·Noursetoit, is not interested, currentresult that butStanley·Longfellow's the behavior, as well asthis/shouldbehaviorcauses, is favorableforAcademyFang Mingobviously.达克对其如何拉拢加文·诺斯,并不感兴趣,但斯坦利·朗费罗的行为,以及该行为导致的当下结果,都是对学院方明显有利的。Sinceadvantageous, whycanget to the root of a matter?
既然有利,为何要追根究底呢?Darkepicks up the hand, has one happy expression, saidtowardCount·Nourse: „It seems like, was CountNourseintendsto cooperate?”达克将手托起,带着一丝浅浅的笑意,朝着加文·诺斯伯爵说道:“这么看来,诺斯伯爵是有意合作了?”Count·Nourselookcalmsaying: „Change in situationnears, ifstubbornconservative, was eliminated a way. fatheris old, does not wantto take risk, butis not motionless, can the Protectolditself/Ben. The situationdepresses, old timeslawcollapsed, the personenteredyounot to enter, thendrew back.”
加文·诺斯伯爵神色沉稳的说道:“变局在即,若固执守旧,只有被淘汰一途。父亲年事已高,不想冒险,但并非不动,就能守住旧本。大势压下,旧时规则崩坍,人进你不进,便是退。”
The Darkenodsaid: „Human affairstransforms, is so. YourIdid not discuss the idea, onlydiscussed the action. Tomorrowstarts, thoroughMountain of the Myriad Gods, CountNoursehaswhatidea, haswhatdemand, haswhatboost, cansay that looks.”达克点头道:“世事变革,皆是如此。你我不谈想法,只谈行动。明日启程,深入众神之山,诺斯伯爵有何想法,有何需求,有何助力,都可以说说看。”·Nourse'slookchanges, said: „Tomorrow?”
加文·诺斯的神色微变,说道:“明天?”Saying that Darkedoes not abstain from: „tomorrow.”达克并不忌讳的说道:“就在明天。”
When ·Nuosidun the browwrinkles, space between eyebrowsscarslightlyfloodred, said: „Suchanxiously? Whataccidenthad to happen immediately?”
加文·诺斯顿时眉头皱起,眉间疤痕微微泛红,说道:“这么急?是有什么变故立刻就要发生了吗?”Darkeeyesnarrows the eyes, said: „Evendid not have, laterwill still have.”达克双眼微眯,说道:“就算原本没有,之后也会有。”·Nourse, pondersimmediately.
加文·诺斯,顿时沉思。Heshuts up the ponder, Darkedid not urge,insteadtook advantage of opportunityto looktoanother sideCountStanley·Longfellow, said: „CountStanley·Longfellow.”
他闭嘴思考,达克也并不催促,反而顺势看向了另一边的斯坦利·朗费罗伯爵,说道:“斯坦利·朗费罗伯爵。”Stanley·Longfellowraised the headslightly, saying of smiling: „Dymon.”
斯坦利·朗费罗稍微抬头,笑眯眯的说道:“迪蒙。”Darkesaid: „SinceCountLongfellowalsohere, Icantacitly approveam, youalsodo have the cooperationto explore the intention of Mountain of the Myriad Gods?”达克说道:“既然朗费罗伯爵也在这里,我可以默认为,你们也有合作探索众神之山的意向?”CountStanley·Longfellownods saying: „Naturally. Exploratory developmentMountain of the Myriad Gods, isIand one of the CountNoursecooperation projects. Is suchas Count Nourse said that, rathertooanxioustomorrowinstantly?”
斯坦利·朗费罗伯爵点头道:“当然。探索开发众神之山,原本就是我与诺斯伯爵的合作项目之一。只是就像诺斯伯爵所说的那样,明日即刻出发,未免太急?”Darkesmiles, said: „When does not needI.”达克笑了笑,说道:“时不待我。”Stanley·Longfellow'sEyenarrowed a seam, closelystared atDarke saying: „To be honest, fromthis morningmeeting. Ihave not been ableto believeto the present,youarethatDymonin my mind.”
斯坦利·朗费罗的眼睛眯成了一条缝,紧紧盯着达克说道:“说实话,从今早会面起。我到现在还不敢相信,你是我印象中的那个迪蒙。”Darkesaid with a smile: „It seems likeCountLongfellowhasinRoyal Capitalhas seenme, ifcansay that at that time1-2words, wenowsowill not be unfamiliar.”达克笑道:“看来朗费罗伯爵有在王都见过我,如果当时能说上1-2话,我们现在也不会如此生疏了。”Stanley·Longfellow, saidslightly: „Cooperationdoes not have the issue. Butmewantsto know,nowwhatyourepresentisDymon Family, isSt. Marian Academy?”
斯坦利·朗费罗略微一顿,说道:“合作没有问题。但我这边想要知道,你现在代表的是迪蒙家,还是圣玛丽安学院?”Darkesayingwithout hesitation: „NaturallyisrepresentativeAcademy. Isitnowhere, bases on the status of Academystudent.”达克毫不犹豫的说道:“当然是代表学院。我如今坐在这里,也是基于学院学生的身份。”Thenheshifts toProfessor Steven Harvey saying: „Moreover, hereisAcademyProfessor, shouldnot needto introduce?”
然后他转向史蒂文·哈维教授说道:“另外,这边这位是学院教授,应该不用重新介绍了吧?”Stanley·Longfellowlooks uptoDarkebehindOllie, said: „Howthenthisdid say?”
斯坦利·朗费罗抬头看向达克身后的奥莉,说道:“那么这位怎么说?”Darkesmiles saying: „Mountain of the Myriad Godsis so dangerous, Iam only a Second Yearstudent, naturallyneedssomepeopleto protectalong. CountLongfellowintertwinesthisbewilderedissue, thoughtourSt. Marian Academydoesn't allotyouto cooperate?”达克不禁莞尔道:“众神之山如此危险,我只是一个二年级的学生,自然需要有人随身保护。朗费罗伯爵纠结这种莫名其妙的问题,是觉得我们圣玛丽安学院不配与您合作?”Stanley·Longfellowsaid: „Of course not. Sincemustcooperate, understood that somestandpointissues, canbe betternot to cooperate?”
斯坦利·朗费罗说道:“当然不是。只是既然要合作,多了解一些各位的立场问题,才能更好合作不是吗?”Darkeshakes the headslightly, said: „YourIam the kingdompeople, whatstandpointissuecanhave? CountLongfellow, yousuchthenreach the agreementwithCount·Nourseactuallyearly, whatshouldhaveto be clear about the goal? Ifthere iswhat a specialdemand, is bestto explain, but if thereforecauses the conflictinMountain of the Myriad Gods, is not goodtoanyone.”达克微微摇头,说道:“你我都是王国子民,能有什么立场问题?倒是朗费罗伯爵,你如此之早便与加文·诺斯伯爵达成协议,应该是有什么明确目的吧?如果有什么特殊需求,最好说明,若是因此而在众神之山引起争端,那对谁都不好。”Stanley·Longfellowsaid: „Iandcooperation, but alsoonlystopsinexploring the level.”
斯坦利·朗费罗说道:“我和加文的合作,还仅止于探索层面。”„I see.”
“原来如此。”Darkesaw that Count·Noursealreadyraised the head, thensaidimmediately: „Such being the case, somewordsmusttalk clearly. Wewill walk into the mountaintomorrow, not justindegree of footprobe. Iftworeallyintendto travel together, preparation that will should better to make, will completecompletely.”达克看到加文·诺斯伯爵已经重新抬头,便当即说道:“既然如此,有些话就必须要说清楚了。我方明日进山,绝非只在山脚试探的程度。两位若真有意同行,最好将能做的准备,全部做好。”…………Nineo'clock, Darkethenfinishedwith·Nourse, Stanley between ·Longfellow the discussion.
九点钟,达克便结束了与加文·诺斯、斯坦利·朗费罗之间的会谈。But the entirediscussionbesidesindicating the respectivecooperationintention, as well asprobesmutually, almostdid not haveother.
但整个会谈除了表明各自的合作意向,以及互相试探之外,就几乎没有其它了。
The matter that Darkemainlyindicateshastwo.达克主要表明的事情有两个。Oneisto warntwocountswhole-heartedly, do not hold the mentalityparticipation of halfmelody.
一个是警告两位伯爵全力以赴,不要抱着半调子的心态参与。Secondisto tellthem, Academysidein any eventwhentomorrow, after thoroughMountain of the Myriad Gods, triggers the change of somelevelinevitably. Ifthereforedestroyedthem the thing of asking, the Academysideis generally irresponsible.
第二个是告诉他们,学院方无论如何都会在明日出发,介时深入众神之山后,必然引发某种层面的变化。如若因此而破坏了他们所求之物,学院方概不负责。In other words , ifwants the thing obtained itselfto want, theyonly thenchoicetomorrowthenwith a Academysidepeerway.
换言之,如果想要获得自己想要的东西,他们只有选择明日便与学院方同行一途。…………
After Count·NourseandCountStanley·LongfellowDarkesends out the camp, returns to the room, looked at each otheronemutually, immediatelysimultaneouslysmiles.
加文·诺斯伯爵与斯坦利·朗费罗伯爵将达克送出营地之后,才返回房间,互相对视了一眼,随即同时笑起。„Also is really domineering.”Stanley·Longfellowtakes up the teacup, manipulatesat will.
“还真是强势啊。”斯坦利·朗费罗拿起茶杯,随意摆弄。Count·Nourse is actually restrains the laughter, the sinkingsound said: „Saidthe brave or vigorous do not father cowardly children, IalsothinkValkyrieraisedonly the cat.”
加文·诺斯伯爵却是收敛笑声,沉声道:“都说虎父无犬子,我原来还以为女武神养了只猫。”CountStanley·Longfellowsaid: „Heard that hewasJune 6was born, thenalsohadtwomonthsfrom the 14 th birthday. Youin his age……, onyouralreadybattlefield?”
斯坦利·朗费罗伯爵说道:“听说他是六月 6 日出生,那么距离14岁生日就还有两个月。加文,你在他这个年纪……嗯,你已经上战场了吧?”·Nourseshakes the head, said: „Experienced. Did not saythese, youregardinghisview, howsee?”
加文·诺斯摇摇头,说道:“只是体验了一下。不说这些,你对于他的说法,怎么看?”Stanley·Longfellowsaid with a smile: „How can also see? Heis threateningus!”
斯坦利·朗费罗笑道:“还能怎么看?他可是在威胁我们!”·Noursesaid: „Threatensdoes not matter. More importantly, youthought that heandourgoalwhether is the same?”
加文·诺斯说道:“威不威胁都无所谓。重要的是,你觉得他和我们的目的是否相同?”Stanley·Longfellow'slook, enforcesimmediately: „To be honest, Iam unable to determine.”
斯坦利·朗费罗的神色,顿时严肃起来:“说实话,我无法确定。”·Noursenods saying: „In the previousconversation, hetrulyhas nothingto disclose. But hehas not displayed, can actually seeurgentlyfrom the traveling schedule. Is it possible that reallyhad the accident that wedid not knowsoonto happen?”
加文·诺斯点头道:“在先前的交谈中,他确实没有任何透露。但他虽然没有表现,从行程上却能看出急迫。莫非,真的有我们不知道的变故即将发生了?”Stanley·Longfellownarrows the eyesuddenly, said: „Is impossible! The information that hehasnot possible more than us! After allwehave……”
斯坦利·朗费罗猛然眯眼,说道:“不可能!他掌握的信息不可能比我们更多!毕竟我们有……”·Noursesaid: „Youforgot, St. Marian AcademyHeadmaster Artein【Heaven】Inexplored after a long time, returns. Shehas gonepersonally!”
加文·诺斯说道:“你忘了,圣玛丽安学院的阿尔忒校长是在【天庭】之中探索了很长一段时间之后才返回。她可是亲自去过的!”Stanley·Longfellowsaid: „ButRoyal PalaceProphethave madeProphecy, Cynthia St. Arte【Heaven】 The touris certainly harvestless. Shedoes not have【God'sblood】, Thatgatecannot pass!”
斯坦利·朗费罗说道:“但王宫的预言家们早就做过预言,辛西娅·圣·阿尔忒的【天庭】之行绝无收获。她没有【神之血】,就连那道门都通不过!”·Noursecalms down, said: „Whenyousaidisright, Headmaster Artehasbythatgateis blocked. Butsinceshehasis blocked, shouldalreadyknow the information. Thistime, theystage a comeback, is impossiblenot to have the law of decoding.”
加文·诺斯冷静下来,说道:“就当你说的是对的,阿尔忒校长有被那道门拦住。但她既然有被拦过,就应该已经知晓信息。这一次,他们卷土重来,不可能没有破解之法。”Stanley·Longfellowsaysimmediately: „Headmaster Artehas not come! Sheis impossibleto appear!”
斯坦利·朗费罗立刻说道:“阿尔忒校长并没有来!她也不可能出现!”·Noursecovers the head, said: „Do not believe the Prophetwords, Longfellow.”
加文·诺斯捂住头,说道:“别那么相信预言家的话,朗费罗。”Stanley·Longfellowsaid: „Thatis you do not know that whatpricewepaid! Ok, withyousaid that theseare also useless. In briefyoumustknow,Headmaster Artewill not come, Valkyriewas also towed unable to withdrawinRoyal Capital, Caleb NorrisinSt. Marian Academy, QueenMoon Elfcould not have had the Elf Raceplacenow. Nowis the chance of a lifetime! The future of northernplace, graspsin your hands!”
斯坦利·朗费罗说道:“那是你不知道我们付出了什么样的代价!算了,和你说这些也没用。总之你要知道,阿尔忒校长不会来,女武神也被拖在王都无法脱身,迦勒·诺里斯现在还在圣玛丽安学院之中,月精灵女王出不了精灵族地。现在就是千载难逢的机会!北地的未来,就握在你的手中!”·Nourselooked athisoneeyes, said: „You? Longfellow. Oryourbackking, histhink about what you like?”
加文·诺斯看了他一眼,说道:“那你呢?朗费罗。或者说你背后的国王陛下,他想要什么?”Stanley·Longfellowgrins, said: „Don't Imean? The kingwants, is onlyyourloyalty.”
斯坦利·朗费罗咧开嘴,说道:“我不是说了吗?国王陛下想要的,只是你的忠心。”·Nourse the visionsinks, saidin a low voice: „Eventhis matteris inadequate, northstillforeveris the kingdomnorthernplace.”
加文·诺斯目光微沉,低声道:“就算此事不成,北地也永远是王国的北地。”Stanley·Longfellowstretches out the finger, swungswinging, said: „Hasn't ·Nourse, youunderstood?”
斯坦利·朗费罗伸出手指,摇了摇,说道:“加文·诺斯,你还没明白吗?”·Noursesighed, said: „Myloyaltyto the king, the livelihoodmayreflect.”
加文·诺斯叹了口气,说道:“我对国王的忠心,日月可鉴。”„Thisis good.”Stanley·Longfellowsaidwith a smile, „, if notyour majestypair of childrenhastoomanyideas, thisgood deedmaynot be one's turnyou. Seizes the opportunity. Do not forgetwhile convenient, signsthiscontract.”
“这就好。”斯坦利·朗费罗笑着说道,“如果不是陛下的一对儿女有太多想法,这种好事可轮不到你。抓住机会吧。顺便别忘了,把这份契约签下。”Was sayinghethenextracts a contractscrollfrom the sleeve, N th timesfront that spreads outin·Nourse.
说着他便从袖子里将一份契约卷轴抽出,第N次摊开在加文·诺斯的面前。·Nourseis staring atthatcontractstubbornly, thesesigned the ownnametimefinally.
加文·诺斯死死的盯着那份契约,这一次终于签下了自己的名字。„Good! Wishusto cooperatehappily!”Stanley·Longfellow, the smileis more abundant.
“好!祝我们合作愉快!”斯坦利·朗费罗,笑容更盛。…………„Professor Harvey, but must beyou.”
“哈维教授,还得是你。”Looks the contractpaper that graduallyvanishes, Darkevoicesopinionsgently.
看着那张逐渐消失的契约纸,达克发出轻轻的感叹。Professor Harveyhehesmiles, thenstretches out the finger, will floatin the airEyeto close.哈维教授呵呵一笑,便伸出手指,将漂浮空中的眼珠子合上。Two peopleleavesafter the northernDukemilitary compound, thenreturns to the camp of Academyside, temporarilytakes a rest.
两人从北地公爵的军营离开之后,便返回到了学院方的营地之中,暂做休息。ButwhatmakesDarkenot think, Professor Harveyjustsat down, thenpulled outfistbigEye, thenemitted a projection.
但让达克没有想到的是,哈维教授刚一坐下,便掏出了一枚拳头大的眼珠子,然后放出了一段投影。„Disposbaleprojectiontool, what a pitysacrificedfor the confidentiality, can only maintainis less than tenminutes.”Professor Harveysaidlightly.
“一次性的投影工具,可惜为了隐蔽性牺牲了很多,只能维持不到十分钟。”哈维教授淡淡说道。·NourseandStanley·Longfellowhowregardless ofperhaps unable to think,inthattightly guardedmilitary compound, will really have the thingto be ableInfiltratorinnumerablebarrier, transmitsnews.
加文·诺斯和斯坦利·朗费罗恐怕无论如何也想不到,在那戒备森严的军营之中,竟然会有东西能够穿透无数层的结界,将讯息传递出去。Moreover, has not directed a hairfluctuation.
而且,没有引发丝毫波动。Theyduring that timeincompletespeech, completepresentedinDarkeand the othersin the eyes.
他们在那段时间之中的全部讲话,都完完整整的呈现在了达克等人的眼中。
After the sigh, Darkealso the regretsaid: „Pitifully, theyare really discrete. Talksin privatedoes not open wideunexpectedlysaid.”
感叹之后,达克又遗憾道:“可惜,他们实在过于谨慎。私下谈话竟然都不敞开了说。”Professor Harveysaid: „Be that as it may, butfromthisdialogue, ouralreadycancollectenoughinformation.”哈维教授说道:“话虽如此,但从这段对话之中,我们已经能够搜罗到足够的信息。”Darkenods, said: „Professor Harvey, youknow that ·Noursesigns, is what contract?”达克点点头,说道:“哈维教授,你知道加文·诺斯签下的,是一份什么样的契约吗?”
The Professor Harveyregretsaid: Eye that „Ilet out can only convey the sound and pictureinformation, butthatcontractis definitely unusual. Youlooked,fromourangles of viewsaw, only hasblackfog. Ievenfelt,CountLongfellowcannot seeon the contractpaperto writeanything. Thisis a kingand between ·Nourse the exclusivecontract.”哈维教授却遗憾道:“我放出去的眼睛只能传达声音与画面信息,但那份契约肯定非同寻常。你看,从我们的视角上看到的,只有一片黑雾。我甚至觉得,就连朗费罗伯爵都看不到契约纸上写着什么。这是一份国王与加文·诺斯之间的专属契约。”Darkesaid: „In the meaningaccording totheirwords, the minimumpotency of thiscontract should also be ableto guarantee·Nourse's the loyalty. Ifnorthwere inheritedby·Noursefinally, meansitabsolutelyloyalKingin. Thismaycreatedisadvantageouslytous, butis not the matter that the presentneedsto consider.”达克说道:“按照他们的话中意思,这契约的最低效力也应该能保证加文·诺斯的忠诚度。如果北地最终被加文·诺斯继承,意味着它将绝对忠诚于国王。这对我们或许会造成不利,但不是现在需要考虑的事情。”
The Professor Harveynodsaid: „Weneedto consider that now, istheirtruegoals.”哈维教授点头道:“我们现在需要考虑的,是他们的真正目的。”Darkesaid: „Longfellowhasto mention that the pair of children of king, referred toinevitablyisCharlesandEliza. In light ofHoly Church and Elf Racesituation, theysought the goal, perhapshas limitedto the age.”达克说道:“朗费罗有提到国王的一对儿女,指的必然是查理斯和伊丽莎。结合圣教与精灵族的情况,他们所求目的,或许对年龄有所限制。”Professor Harveysaid: „This point, shouldbe clearbytomorrow morning. If truly relatedwith the age, theyshouldtakeseveralyoung people.”哈维教授说道:“这一点,到明天早上应该就清楚了。如果确实与年龄相关,他们应该会带上几个年轻人。”Darkebyto the chairback, looks upto the chin of Ollie, asked: „Does ·Noursehaveseveralchildren?”达克靠向椅背,抬头看向奥莉的下巴,问道:“加文·诺斯有几个子女?”Ollieopens the mouthto saydirectly: „·Nourserespectively over 20years old and 30 years old, has given birth to the heirwithtwodifferentwives. Firstmadamealreadypassed away, itschildagejustcrossed20. The secondmadamestill, the one whogives birthis a girl, nowadays is 15 years old.”奥莉直接开口道:“加文·诺斯分别在二十多岁和三十岁,与两名不同的夫人生下过子嗣。第一任夫人已经去世,其子年龄刚过二十。第二任夫人尚在,生下的是一个女孩,现今十五岁。”Darkesaid: „Referencepair of childPaladin, thispair of childrenshouldin the agerange. Yousaid,·Noursecanalllead into the strategic placethem?”达克说道:“参照双子圣骑,这一对子女应该都在年龄范围。你们说,加文·诺斯会不会将他们全都带入险地?”On the face of Professor Harveyshows the smile of pondering: „Regardless oftheirthink about what you like, thoroughMountain of the Myriad Godsrepresentedis facing the deathat any time. Ithink,·Noursewill not takepair of childrencompletely. As fortaking, is not the old mancanguess.”哈维教授的脸上露出玩味的笑容:“无论他们想要什么,深入众神之山就代表着随时面临死亡。我想,加文·诺斯不会将一对子女全部带上。至于带上哪一个,就不是老头子能够揣测的了。”Darkeshakes the head, said: „Dangerandharvestare proportional. Since·Noursealreadysignsthatstrangecontract, thenmeans that alreadygot down the heavynote. Whocanknowin his timeheart the trueidea? In brief, waits.”达克摇摇头,说道:“危险与收获成正比。加文·诺斯既然已经签下那份诡异的契约,便意味着已经下了重注。谁又能知道他此时心中真正的想法呢?总之,拭目以待吧。”Professor Harveysmiles, said: „Wealsohadsomeharvests. The good and evilknew【God'sblood】 An function.”哈维教授笑了笑,说道:“不过我们也有了些收获。好歹知道了【神之血】的一点作用。”„Yes.”Darkealsosmiles, „in briefhas also rested. ShouldvisitHoly Church.”
“是啊。”达克也不禁一笑,“总之也休息过了。该去拜访圣教了。”……………………【Good morning, (*  ̄3).】
