Knight Fantastic Night a1c7

爱克伦伯爵的城堡坐落在群山环抱之中，矗立在石山高原上，鸟瞰四周缓缓起伏的树林，幽静的自然景色与城堡雄伟的外貌相互辉映。清澈见底的护城河中，游弋着姿态优雅的白天鹅。虽然在电影里看到过欧洲中世纪的城堡，但那种平面的效果，自然没有亲眼所见来的震撼。林零望着眼前那座雄伟的城堡，心里忽然涌起了一种莫名的激动。

是城堡诶，货真价实的中世纪城堡……

当林零随着默林和亚瑟经过护城河时，所看见的一切令她暗暗惊叹，在一望无边的花园中，整座古堡被笼罩在淡淡的晨雾里，典雅又不失自然风采，恍若处在一种如梦似幻的仙境中。

TL: I struggled here. Look. A nice, simple sentence. Yet I struggled. Because in Chinese, the author expressed it as this: http://images6.fanpop.com/image/answers/541000/541860_1407685593959_500_281.jpg

The golden-haired occupant who sat in front of her showed a mocking smile.

She huffed, and raised her strength up a notch. The meat she desperately tries to cut then flew from her plate with a BIU sound effect, and impressively, landed on Arthur's left eye with a slap. TL: Haha, you know how when rockets fly, they have this sound effect of biuuuu~

The winter wind seem to blow at the table. It was eerily cold. Everyone kept silent and continued their breakfast. Arthur's forehead vein popped (?) while Kay tried his hardest to not laugh.

After a stiffling moment, Arthur calmly picked up his natural eye mask and put it on the table. He continued eating as if nothing has happened.

"I'm... I'm sorry..." She only said these three words before Arthur did his killing glare.

She quickly turned her head to avoid those eyes and saw Kay's instead. He winked at her and revealed his dazzling smile at her.

Lin Ling smiled in return as well. Arthur sighed softly, and Lin Ling reflexively turned back to look at him. His lips wordlessly formed the word "pig". Seeing how mad she is at this, Arthur smiled mockingly.

Once he has finished his meal, Merlin put down his knife and asked,

"Speaking of which, where is the Countess? I did not see her today?"

"Ah, she went to Marquess David's territory to visit her cousin. She will be back in a few days."

As he spoke of this, Count wiped his lips gently with a white napkin. To an aristocrat, it is manners to wipe one's lips gently and not roughly.

Lin Ling took the chance when they weren't looking, and wiped her lips quickly with her napkin. If she were to wipe gently like them, she don't think her lips will ever be clean!

After they concluded the first meal of the day, Merlin brought Lin Ling to tour the castle. The place is actually a really large complex. It has a master bedroom, the maid's chamber, wine brewing area, kitchen, bakery, wine cellar, warehouse, stable, barn and even fish ponds. TL: 这座城堡其实是一个大片的建筑群，包括城堡主人的居室、妇女工作室、厨房、面包房、榨酒房、仓库、牲口棚、磨房、酒窖，甚至还有鱼塘。

As soon as they reached the stable, Merlin stopped. The horses kept in the stable are of good quality. Each horse's coat are well-cared for.

"You will stay here for now. Until Arthur becomes king, this will be your home."

"What? But he's still 7 years old? Does that mean I need to stay in this game world for many years?!"

"This is a fantasy world, Lin Ling." He smiled.

"You should be happy that you are in one. Which lucky girl can live in two worlds other than you? Moreover, both worlds' time flow differently. The time here is faster than your former world. Once you have completed your missions here, the time in your world will not have changed much."

"Lucky? I'm think I'm the world's most unluckiest girl..." Lin Ling whispered softly.

"I will now tell you the basics of this world." While he told Lin Ling his intentions, Merlin petted a nearby pony's mane, which the pony responded by licking his hand intimately.

"In this world, the aristocrats send their sons to be a knight once they have reached a certain age. The father would entrust them to another aristocrat family, where their sons will endure harsh training to be a true knight. Learning social etiquette befitting of a noble are part of the training. The Countess is usually entrusted with this whereas the art of war is entrusted to the Count.

TL: Okay, it sounds weird. I mean, the Chinese text didn't say what she touched. Don't think of anything else at this sentence! She just touched the bird poo she sat on!!

"Hahaha~..." His laugh disappear along with his figure, echoing in the air.

Why am I so unlucky... Lin Lin decided to walk back to the castle and suddenly, thought of the barn she passed by during the tour with Merlin. Her eyes light up as she banked on the chance there may be chickens in there. If there's chickens, then there should be eggs as well.

Happy with this thought of hers, she rushed towards the barn without changing her dirty clothes.
