树长老也没想到，星叶居然先一步去找到了路西亚，还请他过来了。
Elder Tree didn’t expect that Xingye went to find Lucia first and invited him over.
正好！
Exactly!
树长老心中有很多的疑惑，尤其是夜树十号所提供的这三人，他亟需从路西亚口中得知这些人的情报。
Elder Tree has a lot of doubts in his heart, especially the three people provided by Yeshu No. 10. He urgently needs to learn about these people from Lucia.
纵然路西亚可以咬着繁星街区的规则不说，但就像之前路西亚的主动离开繁星街区一样,读懂一个人并不一定要说话。
Even though Lucia can stick to the rules of Starry Street, just like Lucia’s voluntary departure from Starry Street before, it is not necessary to speak to understand a person.
树长老有的是办法从路西亚口中套出情报。
Elder Tree has plenty of ways to extract information from Lucia.
而路西亚想要繁星街区能长久的在比伦树庭存在，他也一定会配合。
As for Lucia, if he wants Starry Street to exist in Billon Grove for a long time, he will definitely cooperate.
树长老已经迫不及待的想要和路西亚“交流”，但没等树长老开口，带着路西亚来的星叶，看了树长老一眼，又用余光瞥了下远处的瓦尹。
Elder Tree couldn’t wait to “communicate” with Lucia, but before Elder Tree could open his mouth, he took the star leaf from Lucia, glanced at Elder Tree, and glanced at Wa in the distance from the corner of his eye. Yin.
作为老搭档，哪怕星叶一句话也没说，树长老也立刻了悟。
As an old partner, even if Xingye didn’t say a word, Elder Shu immediately realized it.
他向黑伯爵鞠了一躬：“黑伯爵大人,请恕我先告退一下，我会让盖诺和莎尹娜陪在大人身边。”
He bowed to Earl Hei: “Lord Earl Hei, please forgive me for taking my leave first, I will let Gainor and Shayona stay by your side.”
黑伯爵：“你们不用在意我。”
Black Earl: “You don’t have to care about me.”
树长老忙摇头，无论如何他们都不能把黑伯爵单独晾在一边。这位可是关乎他们必洛斯家族未来。
Elder Tree quickly shook his head, no matter what, they couldn’t leave Earl Hei alone. This one is related to the future of their Biluosi family.
“盖诺，莎尹娜，你们过来。”树长老将盖诺和莎尹娜叫过来后，用心灵系带向他们交代了命令。
“Gai Nuo, Sha Yina, come here.” After the elder tree called Gai Nuo and Sha Yina over, he gave them the order with the psychic belt.
虽然树长老对盖诺这个“没头脑”没有什么信心，但莎尹娜是聪明人，有她在，树长老是很放心的。
Although Elder Shu didn’t have much confidence in Gainor, a “brainless” person, Sha Yina was a smart person, and with her around, Elder Shu was very relieved.
在交代完毕后，树长老再次对黑伯爵表达了歉意，紧接着便与星叶还有路西亚，遁入了黑暗幽影里商谈事情。
After the explanation, Elder Tree expressed his apology to Earl Hei again, and then went into the dark shadow with Xingye and Lucia to discuss matters.
而外界，则剩下盖诺、莎尹娜以及瓦尹。
As for the outside world, only Gainuo, Shayina, and Wayin remained.
盖诺的性格虽然有些莽，但他也清楚，诺亚家族族长的分量。在面对黑伯爵的时候，他是一句话都不敢说,只是站在一旁,望着满是残垣断壁的斗技场，静默不语。
Although Gainor’s character is a bit reckless, he also knows the weight of the patriarch of the Noah family. When facing Earl Hei, he didn’t dare to say a word, but just stood aside, looking at the arena full of ruins, silent.
莎尹娜比盖诺要好很多，和黑伯爵对谈也能应答自如，不过，黑伯爵似乎对她找的话题没有什么兴趣，她说了一长串，黑伯爵也只是用简单的“哦”来回答。莎尹娜再长袖善舞，面对懒得说话的黑伯爵，她也没法。
Sayinna is much better than Gaino, and she can answer the conversation with Earl Hei. However, Earl Hei seems to have no interest in the topic she is looking for. “Oh” to answer. No matter how good Shayinna was at dancing, she couldn’t do anything to face Earl Hei who was too lazy to talk.
而且，在这充满硝烟与血腥的漆黑夜里，她也实在不知道找什么话题，能够让场面稍微不那么僵硬。没办法之下，只能硬生生的说着一些无关紧要的事。
Moreover, in this dark night full of gunpowder smoke and blood, she really didn’t know what topic to find to make the scene a little less rigid. With no other choice, he could only say some irrelevant things abruptly.
不过，莎尹娜不知道的是，黑伯爵回答的简短，倒不是对莎尹娜的话题有意见。纯粹是，瓦尹也在心里和他说话。
However, what Shayona didn’t know was that Earl Hei’s short answer did not mean that he had any objection to Shayona’s topic. Purely, Wayin was also talking to him in his heart.
比起莎尹娜所聊的不着边际的话题，黑伯爵倒是宁可回答瓦尹的疑惑。
Compared to the irrelevant topics Shayina talked about, Earl Hei would rather answer Wayin’s doubts.
自重返比伦树庭后，瓦尹心中的疑惑越来越多。
Since returning to Bilon Tree Garden, Wayin has more and more doubts in his heart.
他既好奇比伦树庭为何会遭袭,也好奇必洛斯家族的种种八卦。
He is not only curious about why Bilon Grove was attacked, but also curious about all the gossip about the Belos family.
前者,黑伯爵暂时也没答桉，倒是必洛斯家族的事，黑伯爵知道一些。
For the former, Earl Hei has no answer for the time being, but Earl Hei knows something about the Biros family.
而瓦尹询问的第一个问题，就是关于“盖诺”的。
The first question Wayin asked was about “Gai Nuo”.
瓦尹是有点看不懂，盖诺和那个德雷斯之间到底是什么关系，为何明明都是一个家族，却还是犹如仇人一般，甚至在这个时候还处处针对。
Wayin is a bit confused, what is the relationship between Gainor and that Dress, why they are obviously enemies of the same family, and they are still targeting them everywhere at this time.
这种问题，瓦尹就算有黑伯爵撑腰，他也不敢如此明目张胆的当着盖诺的面问的，所以，他也只能偷偷摸摸的在心中询问。
This kind of question, even with Earl Hei’s backing, Wayin would not dare to ask Gainor so blatantly, so he could only ask secretly in his heart.
“权力之争。”黑伯爵澹澹道。
“Power struggle.” Earl Black said calmly.
“争夺权利？争夺什么权利？”瓦尹有些不解。
“Competing for rights? What rights are you fighting for?” Wayin was a little puzzled.
“必洛斯的族长。”黑伯爵直接给出了答桉。
“The patriarch of Biros.” Earl Hei gave the answer directly.
听到答桉，瓦尹更疑惑了。这个答桉也太狗血了，听上去怎么像是民间的贵族争夺？
Hearing the answer, Wayin was even more puzzled. This answer is too bloody, how does it sound like a civil noble struggle?
都晋级成为了超凡，怎么还搞这一套。
They have all advanced to become extraordinary, why are they still doing this.
黑伯爵：“巫师的确不是每个人都在乎‘权欲’，但巫师中绝大多数人都在乎‘利欲’。而所谓‘权利’，先权后礼，掌握了权，才能有利可图。所以，争夺权利在巫师界也不算少数。尤其是这种处于百花齐放的巫师家族，更是如此。”
The Black Earl: “It is true that not everyone cares about the ‘desire for power’, but the vast majority of wizards care about the ‘desire for profit’. As for the so-called ‘rights’, power comes first and then etiquette. Only when you have power can you benefit It can be seen. Therefore, fighting for power is not uncommon in the wizarding world. This is especially true for this kind of wizarding family that is flourishing.”
黑伯爵说到这时，顿了顿：“其实从某个角度来说，我也挺羡慕必洛斯家族的。至少，他们还有愿意争权夺利的人……”
When Earl Hei said this, he paused: “Actually, from a certain point of view, I also envy the Biros family. At least, they still have people who are willing to fight for power…”
反观一下诺亚家族，除了他以外，其他的各个是咸鱼。虽然黑伯爵也知道，这里面有他的因素，但一众后辈因为畏惧自己，连争夺之心都丧失了，他自己也无计可施。
Looking back at the Noah family, except for him, everyone else is salted fish. Although Earl Hei also knew that there was his factor in this, but because the younger generations were afraid of him, they even lost the desire to compete, and he himself had nothing to do.
他的器官分身的确暗藏了一些后手，但这并不表示，他彻底放弃了这些后辈。
His organ avatar did hide some backhands, but that didn’t mean that he completely gave up on these youngsters.
只要他们能够踏出那一步，黑伯爵自然会给他们最大的自由，甚至让他们进入继承族长之位的序列也可以。
As long as they can take that step, the Black Earl will naturally give them the greatest freedom, and even let them enter the sequence of inheriting the position of patriarch.
不过，目前没有任何一个后辈有这样的雄心。
However, none of the juniors currently have such ambitions.
黑伯爵正因为了解这一点，所以才会在器官分身里暗藏后手。这个后手，甚至可能要了后辈的命。
It is precisely because Earl Hei understands this that he hides his backhand in the organ clone. This backhand might even kill the younger generation.
这也是黑伯爵故意的。
This is also the earl’s intention.
既然你们自己都不想振兴家族，那就只能让他继续扛着压力。而后辈的命，则成为点燃黑伯爵前进的油火。
Since you don’t want to revitalize the family, you can only let him continue to bear the pressure. And the life of the younger generation became the fuel that ignited Earl Hei’s progress.
当然，这么听上去，好像黑伯爵是要牺牲后辈来成就自己。实际上的操作并非如此，而且，黑伯爵也没有进行过几次这样的操作。
Of course, it sounds like Earl Black wants to sacrifice his descendants to achieve himself. The actual operation is not like this, and Earl Black has not performed such operations several times.
总得来说，黑伯爵还是爱自己后辈，渴望后辈能百花齐放的。所以，真正狠下心要后辈的命，几乎没有，大多数都是后辈自己把自己玩死。
Generally speaking, Earl Hei still loves his younger generation, and hopes that his younger generation can flourish. Therefore, there is almost no one who is really determined to kill the younger generation, and most of them are played to death by the younger generation themselves.
这些话，黑伯爵当然不可能告诉一众后辈，他是衷心希望，他们自己能够振作。
Of course it is impossible for Earl Hei to tell his juniors these words. He sincerely hopes that they can cheer themselves up.
目前黑伯爵在如今的后辈里，暂时看不出有振作之人。不过，黑伯爵也不恼，他的时间还很多，他还能等……
Currently, among the younger generation of Earl Hei, there is no one who can cheer up for the time being. However, Earl Hei is not annoyed, he still has a lot of time, and he can wait…
而且，这次从智者主宰那里交换来不少诺亚家族空心人的资料，说不定，这些遗落在外的族人以及他们的后裔，能够给他带来惊喜。
Moreover, a lot of information about the hollow people of the Noah family was exchanged from the wise master this time. Maybe these left-behind clansmen and their descendants can bring him surprises.
另一边，瓦尹自然也听懂了黑伯爵的暗示。他现在其实有一点点要晋级之心，尤其是看到如今的多克斯，他渴望晋级之心更甚了。
On the other side, Wayin naturally understood Earl Hei’s hint. He actually has a little heart to advance now, especially seeing Doakes now, he is even more eager to advance.
不过，想要让他去争权夺利，瓦尹还是不愿意的。
However, Wayin is still unwilling to let him fight for power and profit.
比起权利，他的占卜屋不香吗？跟着多克斯混不香吗？如果还能蹭下多克斯的末班车，抱下偶像的大腿这不香吗？
Compared to power, isn’t his divination house more popular? Wouldn’t it be nice to hang out with Doakes? Wouldn’t it be nice if I could catch the last train of Doakes and hold the thigh of an idol?
回诺亚家族争权夺利？还是算了吧。
Go back to the Noah family to fight for power? forget it.
瓦尹故意忽略了黑伯爵就诺亚家族前景的担心，继续问着必洛斯家族的事：“如果是为了争夺族长之位，那盖诺和德雷斯的确有可能互相敌对。但我看那位‘星叶’族长，年纪也不大啊，不至于这么早就要让位吧？”
Wayin intentionally ignored Earl Hei’s worries about the future of the Noah family, and continued to ask about the Biros family: “If it is for the position of patriarch, then Gaeno and Dries may indeed be hostile to each other. But I think that ‘Xingye’ patriarch is not very old, so he shouldn’t give up so early?”
“他的年纪的确不大。”黑伯爵顿了顿，用满含深意的语气道：“但，他有更高的追求。”
“He is indeed young.” Earl Hei paused, and said in a tone full of deep meaning: “But, he has higher pursuits.”
星叶是必洛斯家族的族长不假，且他的实力也是必洛斯家族明面上的第一，堂堂二级巫师顶端。但他并不满足于此，他还想要更进一步。
Xing Ye is the patriarch of the Biluosi family, and his strength is also the number one in the Biluosi family, and the top of the second-level wizard. But he is not satisfied with this, he also wants to go further.
星叶渴望踏足三级巫师这个顶端殿堂。
Xing Ye longed to set foot on the top hall of the third-level wizard.
不过，顶端殿堂不是谁都能踏足的，这是需要入场券的。
However, not everyone can set foot on the top hall, which requires a ticket.
而三级巫师的“入场券”，也即是进阶条件。
The “admission ticket” for the third-level wizard is also the advanced condition.
最基础的条件一共有两个：第一，能量继续要达到二级巫师的巅峰；第二，踏足真知之路。
There are two basic conditions: first, the energy must continue to reach the peak of a second-level wizard; second, set foot on the road of true knowledge.
星叶已经满足了第一个条件，但第二个条件，他却至今还没满足。
Xing Ye has already satisfied the first condition, but he has not yet satisfied the second condition.
星叶在真知巫师的门前，已经徘回了三百余年，却一无斩获。
Xingye has been wandering in front of the door of the true knowledge wizard for more than three hundred years, but has found nothing.
根据黑伯爵得到的一些情报，星叶在三十多年前，就对外传出要辞去族长之位，去更广阔的世界旅行，并追求真知之路。
According to some information obtained by Earl Hei, Xingye announced that he would resign as the patriarch more than 30 years ago to travel to a wider world and pursue the path of true knowledge.
从那天开始，必洛斯家族就明里暗里出现了争权夺利的行为。
Since that day, the Biros family has been fighting for power and profit both openly and secretly.
至于为何星叶要在三十年前做出这个宣布，黑伯爵也有猜测。因为那个时候，繁星街区正式入驻了比伦树庭，极有可能是星叶在那时和“布道者”进行的交换，这才让狄迪亚家族在比伦树庭没有遭遇任何反抗。
As for why Xingye made this announcement thirty years ago, Count Hei also had speculations. Because at that time, the Starry Street District officially settled in the Bilon Tree Garden, it is very likely that Xingye exchanged with the “Preacher” at that time, which made the Didia family not encounter any resistance in the Bilon Tree Garden.
而布道者能给予星叶的交换，自然就是……预言。
The exchange that the evangelist can give to Star Leaf is naturally…prophecy.
或许，星叶从预言中得知了自己进阶的契机，所以，他才会宣布辞去族长的位置，毅然决然的要去域外行旅。
Perhaps, Xingye learned of his opportunity to advance from the prophecy, so he announced his resignation from the position of patriarch, resolutely going to travel outside the region.
不过这终归只是一个猜测，唯一可见的是，必洛斯家族的确在三十年前，开始有了混乱。
However, this is only a guess after all. The only thing that can be seen is that the Biros family did indeed start to have chaos thirty years ago.
而经过了这三十年的争权夺利。
After thirty years of fighting for power and profit.
大部分的竞争者都已经消隐，还有竞争力道的，目前也就两位副族长了。所以，现在都在猜，族长会是从两个副族长中诞生。
Most of the competitors have disappeared, and there are only two deputy patriarchs who are still competitive. Therefore, I am guessing now that the patriarch will be born from the two deputy patriarchs.
盖诺和德雷斯就是必洛斯家族的两位副族长。
Gai Nuo and Dress are the two deputy heads of the Biros family.
他们之间会出现矛盾，甚至敌对，这太正常了。
There will be conflicts, even hostility between them, which is quite normal.
瓦尹听到这，也大致明白了这中间的关系：“原来如此……”
Hearing this, Wayin roughly understood the relationship: “So it’s like this…”
黑伯爵：“说来，你既然对必洛斯家族的争权夺利有兴趣，你觉得最后必洛斯的族长会落在谁身上呢？”
Earl Black: “Speaking of which, since you are interested in the power struggle of the Biros family, who do you think will be the head of the Biros family in the end?”
“我对他们的争权夺利没兴趣，只是好奇，好奇……”瓦尹低声滴咕。
“I’m not interested in their struggle for power, I’m just curious, curious…” Vayin whispered.
“那按照你的好奇，你觉得谁会成为族长？”黑伯爵仍然是浑不在意的问道。
“Then according to your curiosity, who do you think will become the patriarch?” Earl Hei still asked indifferently.
瓦尹仔细的思索了片刻后，道：“感觉盖诺好像太冲动了，或许是德雷斯？”
After thinking carefully for a moment, Wayin said: “I feel that Gainor seems to be too impulsive, maybe it’s Dries?”
虽然瓦尹更讨厌德雷斯这种阴阳怪气的人，但一介族长之位，怎能交给一个莽夫。
Although Wayin hates such yin and yang people as Dreis more, how can a patriarch be handed over to a reckless man.
黑伯爵：“德雷斯难道就不冲动？当着这么多人的面前，表现出对盖诺的针对，这也是一种冲动。”
The Earl of Black: “Isn’t Dress impulsive? In front of so many people, it is also impulsive to show that he is targeting Gaynor.”
瓦尹想想觉得也对，要说冲动，这两人算是半斤八两。
Way Yin thinks it is right when he thinks about it. In terms of impulsiveness, these two people are pretty much the same.
不过这么一来，盖诺和德雷斯好像都不适合担任族长。
But in this way, Gainor and Dress seem to be unsuitable to be the patriarch.
瓦尹也想不出答桉，索性直接询问黑伯爵：“大人觉得会是谁呢？”
Wayin couldn’t think of an answer either, so he simply asked Earl Hei directly: “Who does your lord think it could be?”
黑伯爵：“我的看法是，如果范围真限定在这两人身上，大概率是盖诺。但任何事情没有到终局的那一刻，都有可能产生变数。”
The Earl of Black: “My opinion is that if the scope is really limited to these two people, there is a high probability that it will be Gaynor. But the moment anything is not finalized, there may be variables.”
“指不定在最后一刻，有新的人蹦出来竞争族长呢？”
“Maybe at the last moment, someone new will come out to compete for the patriarch?”
瓦尹：“如果最后一刻还有变化，这个选族长的事也太草率了……”
Wayin: “If there are changes at the last moment, the selection of the patriarch is too hasty…”
“我所说的，族长之位被圈定在两个副族长身上，这也只是外传的消息，说不定只是某位竞争者搞出来的舆论宣传战。必洛斯家族的核心阶层怎么想的，谁又知道呢？”黑伯爵澹澹道：“而且，真正决定族长之位的是树长老与现任的星叶族长，他们没有开口断言时，一切都还是未知数。”
“What I said is that the position of patriarch is delimited to two deputy patriarchs. This is only rumored news. Maybe it’s just a public opinion propaganda war waged by a certain competitor. What do the core members of the Biros family think? Yes, who knows?” Earl Hei said indifferently: “Besides, it is Elder Tree and the current Patriarch Xingye who really decide the position of patriarch. When they don’t open their mouths to assert, everything is still unknown.”
瓦尹瘪瘪嘴，低声滴咕：“那你这不是说了跟没说一样吗？”
Wayin pursed his mouth and mumbled in a low voice: “Then, isn’t it the same as if you didn’t say it?”
黑伯爵冷笑几声，没有接话。
The Black Earl sneered a few times, but did not answer.
瓦尹咳嗽两声，又开始询问其他的事，除了对盖诺和德雷斯感兴趣外，他还对之前出现的夜树有兴趣。
Wayin coughed twice, and started to ask about other things. Apart from being interested in Gaeno and Dress, he was also interested in the night tree that appeared before.
“夜树？”黑伯爵也没隐瞒，直接道：“类似情报组织，由月长老负责。”
“Night tree?” Earl Hei didn’t hide anything, and said directly: “It’s similar to an intelligence organization, and Elder Yue is in charge.”
从之前夜树的出现方式，还有他们与树长老的对话，瓦尹其实也猜到了对方可能负责情报。这样的情报组织，在各大巫师家族、巫师组织中并不少见。
From the way Ye Shu appeared before, and their conversation with Elder Shu, Wayin actually guessed that the other party might be responsible for intelligence. Such intelligence organizations are not uncommon in major wizard families and wizard organizations.
包括诺亚家族，也有下辖的情报小组。
Including the Noah family, there is also an intelligence team under its jurisdiction.
“月长老？说起来，今天到花园迷宫遗迹的必洛斯家族成员，好像就月长老这一个核心阶层没来吧？”
“Elder Yue? Speaking of which, the members of the Biros family who came to the ruins of the garden labyrinth today seem to be Elder Yue, the core class, who did not come?”
瓦尹之前就从黑伯爵那里听说了必洛斯家族的结构。
Wayin had heard about the structure of the Beros family from Earl Hei before.
树、日、月，是必洛斯家族的三大长老。其中树长老是大长老，他在必洛斯家族中是非常特殊的存在。
The tree, the sun, and the moon are the three elders of the Biros family. Among them, Elder Tree is the Great Elder, and he is a very special existence in the Biros family.
因为所有的树长老，过去都担任过必洛斯家族的族长。
Because all the tree elders have served as the patriarch of the Biros family in the past.
树长老这个身份~Soverse.com~属于退位后的再就业。
The status of Elder Tree ~Soverse.com~ belongs to re-employment after abdication.
也因此，树长老无论声望和权势，其实都不比族长要低，甚至可能更高。
Because of this, regardless of prestige and power, Elder Tree is actually no lower than the patriarch, and may even be higher.
而日长老，是二长老，具体权责瓦尹并不知道，只听说他负责游商组织。如今，日长老还留在花园迷宫那边，哪怕比伦树庭遭遇袭击，也没有过来。
Elder Ri is the Second Elder, and Wa Yin does not know the specific powers and responsibilities, only that he is in charge of the Traveling Merchants Organization. Today, Elder Ri is still staying in the garden maze, even if Bilon Tree Garden was attacked, he did not come over.
月长老是三长老，此前瓦尹只知道她是个女性，其他一无所知。不过现在可以确认，对方掌管夜树，而夜树是情报组织，那么很有可能这个月长老负责的是外交一类的权责？
Elder Yue is the third elder. Before that, Wayin only knew that she was a woman, but nothing else. But now it can be confirmed that the other party is in charge of Yeshu, and Yeshu is an intelligence organization, so it is very likely that the Elder Yue is in charge of diplomatic responsibilities this year?
不过，这些并不重要。如今，瓦尹突然提到月长老，是因为他想到一件事。
However, these are not important. Now, Wayin suddenly mentioned Elder Yue because he thought of one thing.
“月长老如果留在比伦树庭，这边遭袭应该不至于视而不见吧？而且，之前听那个夜树九号和树长老的对话，总感觉这个月长老好像故意拉走了不少必洛斯家族的高端战力。”瓦尹低声喃喃：“该不会，这个月长老和袭击者是一伙的吧？是她故意拉走了必洛斯家族的战力，这才导致比伦树庭面对袭击时，显得空乏无力？”
“If Elder Moon stayed in Bilon Tree Garden, he wouldn’t turn a blind eye to the attack here, right? Moreover, I heard the conversation between No. The high-end combat power of the Shaobiluosi family.” Wayin murmured in a low voice: “Could it be that the elder Yue and the attacker are together this time? It was she who deliberately took away the combat power of the Biluosi family, which led to When the Bilon Grove faced the attack, it seemed weak?”
