1271年,3月--MongolianKavacastle.
蒙泰卡沃城堡。
The castle that thisdoes not have the front doorandwindowhad been as if abandoned. Has the crow of circlingto fallin the bareouter walloccasionally, quickwill also fly away. Somepeoplewill not have the questiontohere, in fact, somepeopleare not willingto approachhere. Redaniaeachresidentknows,thisseeminglydesolatedcastle, belongs tomagic powerexcelSorceress, a kingadviser, occupiesin the palace, outlined the giantspiders of not visiblenets.
这座没有大门、窗户的城堡似乎早就已经被废弃。偶有盘旋的乌鸦落在光秃秃的外墙上,很快也会飞走。不会有人对这里产生质疑,实际上,不会有人愿意靠近这里。瑞达尼亚的每一名市民都知道,这座看似荒芜的城堡,属于一位法力高强的女术士,一名国王顾问,一只盘踞在宫廷中,勾勒一张张看不见的网的巨大蜘蛛。FeilibaHeart.
菲丽芭・艾哈特。Portal between marblecolumnsstartsto rock, luminouseven moreis also intense. Grating after humming soundsound, the dazzlinggolden lightflashes past, restores the tranquil, gentlerayimmediatelysuch as the vortexrotatesin the marblecolumns.
大理石柱之间的传送门开始晃动起来,光亮也愈发强烈。一阵刺耳的嗡嗡声后,刺眼的金光一闪而过,又随即恢复平静,柔和的光线如漩涡在大理石柱之间转动。„Youwere late.”
“你迟到了。”In the dimrotundabroadcasts the serioussound. „Youknow that todaywemustdiscuss how importantmatter.”
昏暗的圆厅中传来严肃的声音。“你知道今天我们要商量多么重要的事情。”„Iknow, Feiliba.”Hill TanshaVuillewears a silverwomenlengthscarf, the supplevoicealsocomplements each otherwith a shesimpleblackcoatbut actually. „ButIhavemore importantmatterprocessingat present.”
“我知道,菲丽芭。”席尔・坦萨维耶戴着一条银色的女式长围巾,阴柔的口音与她一身朴素的黑色外套倒也相得益彰。“但我眼下有更重要的事情处理。”Hill'svisionhas swept the round table in secret roomhall, directly oppositeEich the AnaGreece , Germanwear a violetpure silklong skirt, is exquisiteandappropriate, althoughseems like the styleto be brief, actuallyrevealsappropriatelyloftilysome. FlangeBeidaas alwaysgravely. Ida Aisensitivelyas alwaysmystically. Margarita LoucksAntilleis solemnandserious.

席尔的目光扫过密室大厅中的圆桌,正对面的艾希蕾・阿娜希德则身着一袭紫罗兰真丝长裙,优美而得体,虽然看上去样式简约,却又适当地流露出些许高雅。法兰茜丝卡・芬贝达一如既往得庄重。艾达・艾敏一如既往得神秘。玛格丽塔・劳克斯・安蒂列端庄而严肃。凯拉・梅兹正和芙琳吉拉・薇歌交谈,手中杯子里的果汁以肉眼可见的速度下降,特莉丝挑起眉毛,眼中困惑的打量着席尔冷若冰霜的脸颊。三个空座椅上依然空空荡荡,等待新的成员,席尔知道这些座椅曾经属于谁。萨宾娜・葛丽维希格,叶奈法,和只参加过一场会议的希里雅。Hilldoes not likeloathsome, thereforeshesaid the reasondirectly.
席尔不喜欢拖泥带水,于是她直接说出了原因。„YsTeulade Tyssendied.”
“伊斯特拉德・蒂森死了。”Kaydraws the fruit juicecupputs down, withoutcontrolling the goodstrengthto makedang the sound, surprised that onEichfacecannot cover up, Feilibaverygoodto controlherexpression. FlangeandIda'ssilenceas always, calm, unreasonable. ZillaandKaystop the conversation, the Lizbigmouthis gasping for breath, Margaritacovered the mouthsurprisedly.凯拉将果汁杯放下,没有控制好力道发出咣当声响,艾希蕾脸上掩不住的惊讶,菲丽芭很好的控制了她的表情。法兰茜丝卡和艾达一如既往的沉默,冷静,不近人情。芙琳吉拉和凯拉停下交谈,特莉丝大口喘着气,玛格丽塔则惊讶的捂住了嘴。„...... Thiswas......”shesaid. „Howcan......”
“哦……这是……”她说。“怎么会……”„Because ofassassin.”Hilltakes a fast look around for a week. „YsTeuladetoprotecthis wife, was assassinatedon the stair.”
“因为刺客。”席尔扫视一周。“伊斯特拉德为了保护他的妻子,在台阶上被刺死了。”Feilibastands up: „Whoseassassin?”
菲丽芭站起身:“谁的刺客?”„Does not know,IsuspectamNilfgaard, theyhad donebeforeonetime, buys over the court official and aidein the palace, Ihave crackedtheirplot a time, butIdo not have the evidenceto accuse.”
“不知道,我怀疑是尼弗迦德,他们之前做过一次,在宫廷中收买廷臣和侍从,我破获过一次他们的阴谋,但我没有证据指控。”„Why?”
“为什么?”„Killeris very strong, hekillsallguards, andmoves out, whoIininvestigating the palaceam the nextboughttraitor within. Next, Willwill hold the funeral, Tancred Tyssenwill take a seatto become the newking.”
“杀手很强,他杀死所有卫兵,并且全身而退,我在调查宫廷里谁是下一个被收买的内奸。下一个,柯维尔会举行葬礼,坦克雷德・蒂森将即位成为新的国王。”„Thisis......”
“这是件……”„Also, Feiliba......”Feilibajustwantsto sayanything, Hillsnatchesin front ofheropens the mouth, but the heavytingresounds through the dimsecret room, thissounddignified, deepandsolemn and respectful, actuallyseemsstrangecalling out in grief. Hillis waiting, everyoneis waiting, waitingdingretrogression. The dimmagiclampis unable to provideenoughluminous, the stone column outside round tablein the shadowpartly visible, eachsitsbefore the stone columnontallBeiyi the sorceressesknows that thisdingis representinganything. The castledoes not have the window and front door, only thenleaf of Portal and outside worldare connected, the ventfloatsin the air of secret roomto combine the aura of soilandgreen grass.
“还有,菲丽芭……”菲丽芭刚想说些什么,席尔抢在她前面开口,但沉重的铃声响彻昏暗的密室,这声音庄严、深沉而肃穆,却好似奇异的悲鸣。席尔等待着,所有人都等待着,等待钟声消退。昏暗的魔法灯无法提供足够的光亮,圆桌之外的石柱在阴影中若隐若现,每名坐在石柱前高背椅上的女巫都知道这钟声代表着什么。城堡没有窗户和大门,只有一扇传送门与外界相连,通风口飘进密室的空气中混杂着泥土与青草的气息。Raining.
下雨了。„Iam listening.”Feilibatilts the headslightly. „Alsohaswhatnews.”
“我在听。”菲丽芭微微歪头。“还有什么消息。”„YsTeulade'swidow, Queenancestorinvitedmeto return toWill.”
“伊斯特拉德的遗孀,祖蕾卡王后邀请我返回柯维尔。”Feilibasignaled by noddingHillto continue. Sheknows,Hillis called the acting alonesorceress, Will'srecluse, becauseoncestudiedis unable to withdrawto resign from the position of Sorcerermissionbusily. If not for the immortalTokushimacoup d'etatmade the turbulentspread of magictoentirenorth, shewill not join the Sorceresslodge.
菲丽芭点头示意席尔继续说下去。她知道,席尔被称为独行女巫,柯维尔的隐士,曾因为研究繁忙无法脱身而辞去术士教团的职位。若不是仙尼德岛政变令魔法的动荡蔓延到整个北方,她也不会加入女术士集会所。„The messenger of Queenancestortoldme, her son, Tancred, the futureking, falls intograsping of disloyal subject, this may makeher sonturn into a badrulerin the future, evenlost the throne and life, as a mother, shehopes that Icanhelp, makingPrinceTancredget ridbyBaronSuqLattasandMissRiceMooreand......”
“祖蕾卡王后的信使告诉我,她的儿子,坦克雷德,未来的国王,落入奸臣的掌握,这可能会让她的儿子在未来变成一名糟糕的统治者,甚至丢掉王位和性命,作为一个母亲,她希望我可以帮忙,让坦克雷德王子摆脱以苏格拉塔斯男爵、德・莱斯摩尔小姐和……”Feilibacomplexiongloomy.
菲丽芭的脸色阴沉了下来。„...... Envoy of RedaniainWillis the deceitfulvillain of head.”
“……瑞达尼亚驻柯维尔的使节为首的奸诈小人。”Hillhas not said the name.
席尔没有说出名字。ButFeilibaknows that whothatis.
但菲丽芭知道那是谁。Hillis notseeks information the opinion, is notnarrates the reason, sheistellsFeiliba, somepeoplehad been solvedbyhim.
席尔不是来征询意见的,也不是来叙述原因的,她是来告诉菲丽芭,有些人已经被他解决了。„Iunderstood.”Shenods. „Sits, we have a more importantmatterto discuss. And, Hill. Wefoundone saying that accepts the The Nilfgaardian EmpireemploymentWitcher, the order that hereceivesisassassinatesHenrySert, moderateMeiWei.”
“我明白了。”她点点头。“坐吧,我们还有更重要的事情商量。以及,席尔。我们找到一名自称接受尼弗迦德帝国雇佣的狩魔猎人,他接到的命令是刺杀亨赛特、德马温和梅薇。”„Whois?”
“是谁?”„Brunn.”
“布伦。”„The cat of?”
“莱洛之猫?”„Ishe.”
“是他。”„Yes. Isthatnotorious, villain who plans the slaughterinLos Angeles.”
“是的。就是那个臭名昭著的、在莱洛城策划屠杀的恶棍。”„HomicideYsTeulade?”
“他杀了伊斯特拉德?”„Has saidlikeyou.”Feilibais unemotional. „Wedo not have the evidence. Sits, Hill, wehave wasted the toomuchtime.”
“就像你说过的。”菲丽芭面无表情。“我们没有证据。坐吧,席尔,我们已经浪费了太多时间。”AfterHillsitstobeingonherseat, the members of Sorceresslodgearrive in fullagain, Feibeautifulstartsto deliver the speech. Shefirstwasalsoexpressedtoeveryonepresent a welcome, entered the subjectlaterquickly.
当席尔坐到属于她的座椅上后,女术士集会所的成员再一次到齐,菲丽帕开始发表讲话。她先是对在座的所有人又表示了一次欢迎,随后很快进入正题。„Iunderstand that on the scenehasseveralpossiblyto believe that the politicsshould notpullto relatewithus, right, politics, war. HenrySertassembles the armyto the border lineon, the preparationinvadesAedirnagain, heexerts its utmost to Aedirn. The successor of BaronVarrettiopenlyopposesFoltest, the northis standingin the edge of civil war, Ithink that everyonehas seenmanywars, for several hundredyears, the northneverthroughoutpeacesurpasses for twoyears. For tenyears, the warneverstops, the destructionto the industry and agricultureis obvious to all. Iferupts an all-out civil waragain, the badindustry and agriculturedevelopment situationpossiblymakes the northfall into the threat of comprehensivefaminethreeyearslater.”
“我明白在场有几位可能认为,政治不应该与我们扯上联系,没错,政治,战争。亨赛特将军队集结到边境线上,准备再次入侵亚甸,他对上亚甸势在必得。拉・瓦雷蒂男爵的继承人公开反对弗尔泰斯特,北方正站在内战的边缘,我想各位都已经见过许多场战争,几百年来,北方从未全境和平超过两年时间。十年来,战争从未休止,对工农业的破坏有目共睹。如果再次爆发一场全面内战,糟糕的工农业发展状况更可能让北方在三年后陷入全面饥荒的威胁。”Feilibalooks all around, Margaritacasts the vision that approves, flangeandIdaare still silent, Hill'strain of thoughtstillkeptWill, Lizlooks like the student in schoolto sit well, Kaystraightens upis suckingtogether the oyster, sends outsound that incites, whennoticeseveryoneto lookafteroneself, shehastilyputs downfood. ThereforeFeilibacontinued.
菲丽芭环顾四周,玛格丽塔投来赞同的目光,法兰茜丝卡与艾达依然沉默不语,席尔的思绪仍然留在柯维尔,特莉丝像学堂中的学生端坐,凯拉正吸吮着一块牡蛎,发出滋滋的声响,当注意到所有人都望向自己后,她连忙放下食物。于是菲丽芭继续说了下去。„Waris the politics of rulerextends, weremindedtheserulersmore than once, the responsibility that theyshoulderedincessantlywas the territory and power struggle, today'sterritorial disputeanddynastyconflict, today'sambitionandhope, afterhundrednext year, allwill be reduced to asheswith the dust. If this had continued, the northernprogress and transformationwill be out of the question, oursocietieswill be drown to deathindead situation.”
“战争是统治者的政治延伸,我们不止一次提醒那些统治者,他们肩负的责任不止是领土和权力斗争,今日的领土争端、王朝冲突,今日的野心和希望,经过百来年后,一切都会化为灰烬和尘埃。如果继续这样下去,北方的进步与变革将无从谈起,我们的社会将溺死在一潭死水中。”
