1271年的春季。

布伦纳大战后,人们对和平的期望终于在这一年被击碎的无影无踪。躲藏在屋檐下,围靠在火炉旁的人们,用烈酒来驱散空气中的寒意,同时咒骂着连绵不断的阴雨天。每个人的心情就像放了超过一年的牛奶一样坏,或许上好的美酒和最漂亮的女士都无法让人们从糟糕的坏心情上分离出来。有人在空气中嗅出不正确的味道,就像是某种腐烂的,只属于墓穴的味道,但人们还能做些什么?大多数人知道危险可能要来了,街道上每个人的脸庞似乎都那么可憎,那么多将自己的模样隐藏在兜帽阴影下的毒蛇,连狗和猫都失去了斗志,任由垃圾堆上的老鼠耀武扬威。空气中又弥漫起诡异气氛,让某些人的头脑里滋生出愚蠢念头。可麻木的人们只能日复一日的重复着相同的生活,面对将要降临的危险无动于衷。
The kingsandNoblefix the eyes on the land of neighbor, the generalswere anticipating that onemade the immortalwar.
国王与贵族们紧盯着邻居的土地,将军们期待一场令自己永垂不朽的战争。
The war, foreveris the war.
战争,永远是战争。Whenpeoplethink that this year'swarwhenAedirnandKaedwenwill erupt, the Temeriabloodycivil warshookeveryone'snerve.
当人们以为今年的战争将在亚甸与科德温之间爆发时,泰莫利亚的血腥内战撼动了所有人的神经。Onegroup of rewiringwarriorsare riding a horsefrom the canyonrun quickly, theirbodyarmor and weaponexude the clangour, theyraise a bigpiece of dustbehind, blocked fromran the shieldsoldierinbehind. Witcherdraws the reinshastily, making the horsesarrive by in the pathmixedthick patch of grass, waits forthisteam of soldiersto runfrom the front. The soldiersfacial featuresare firm and resolute, sweatdirecting current, the white lilyflag of fleeing the capitalfluttersin the top of the head.
一群重装武士骑着马从峡谷中奔驰而过,他们身上的盔甲和武器发出铿锵声,他们身后扬起一大片灰尘,遮住了跑在后头的盾牌兵。狩魔猎人连忙拉动缰绳,让马匹走到道路旁边的杂草丛中,等待这队士兵从面前跑过。士兵们面容坚毅,汗水直流,蒙尘的白百合旗帜在头顶飘扬。Zelinis looking attheirflagandmedallion, withoutmedallion on admitting mistakessoldiershoulder, thesesoldiersbelongs tosoutheastVizimadirectionhistorywarmLord.泽林望着他们的旗帜和徽记,如果没有认错士兵肩膀上的徽章,这些士兵属于维吉玛东南方向的史温领主。„Really isrotten to the core.”Zelinis mumblingin a low voice, naturally, the horses, swordor the ring, will not givehim the answer. „Time that theyhave not stoppedforever.”
“真是糟糕透顶。”泽林低声嘟囔着,当然,无论是马匹、刀剑还是戒指,都不会给他答案。“他们就永远没有消停下来的时候。”Looks at the back of soldierto vanishin another end of foresttrack, Zelinshrugs, was urging the horsesreturnon the path. The ElleTaruiersituationandWitcherthinkis not quite same, the ebonyblade and ordinaryweaponare different, the scarnature and scalpel that shut offcut opencuts off limbdifferently. ThereforeElleTaruierwill stayseveraldays of timeinNovigrad, Maltiwill eliminate the infection that in the woundleaves behindwithsomeminor surgeries. At leastshedeclared that thisis very simpleandlow-cost, althoughWitchersuspectedvery much, the concept of Sorceresstomoneyis obviously different from the average man.
望着士兵的背影消失在森林小道的另一端,泽林耸耸肩,催促着马匹重新回到道路上。艾尔塔瑞尔的情况和狩魔猎人所想的不太一样,乌木刃和普通武器不同,切断的伤痕自然和手术刀截开的断肢不同。所以艾尔塔瑞尔会在诺维格瑞停留几天时间,玛尔蒂会用一些小手术来清除伤口中留下的感染。至少她宣称这很简单而且价格便宜,虽然狩魔猎人很怀疑,女术士对金钱的概念显然和常人不同。In the afternoon, Zelinfound a village. Possiblyisin a surrounding areadozensli (0.5 km)range the onlyvillage. In this periodhesawoverthreeteams of hurrying alongsoldiers, the military officerkeepsurgingtheywent forwardto the north. Why when this is also Witchernotliketravels by boatto return, because the civil warcausesPontar Riverto be blockedacross the section that BaronVarrettigets, Novigradgoes to the shipspile of upstreamto pushin the harbor, idlesailorsevery daycanconsumea lot ofinferiorbeer, anddailyfeeds in the hospital and prison.
当天下午,泽林找到一座村庄。可能是方圆数十里范围内唯一的村落。期间他看到超过三队正在赶路的士兵,军官不停地催促着他们向北方前进。这也正是为什么狩魔猎人没有像来时那样坐船返回,因为内战导致庞塔河穿过拉・瓦雷蒂男爵领的河段被封锁,诺维格瑞前往上游的船只堆挤在港口中,无所事事的水手们每天都能消耗大量的劣质啤酒,并且天天将人送进医院和监狱里去。Witcherrides a horseclose to the fencerailing of village, heturns over/stands updismount, holds the fenceedge, looks atvigilantlyas well ascuriouslookingto the ownvillagers.狩魔猎人骑马靠近村庄的篱笆围栏,他翻身下马,扶着篱笆边缘,看着警惕以及略带好奇的望向自己的村民。„Iam not the Lordreceivingtax officer.”
“我不是领主的收税官。”
The vigilance in villagerseyesslowed downsome.
村民们眼中的警惕放缓了些许。„It is not recruitsknightretinue of soldier, since.”
“也不是来征召士兵的骑士扈从。”Standsindrying in the sun the woman under clothes rackrelaxes, picks upto let slipto the clothing of ground, throws into the wooden basin, does not know that is mumblinganythingin a low voice.
一名站在晾衣架下的女人松了口气,重新捡起失手掉到地上的衣物,扔进木盆里,不知道低声嘟囔着什么。„Where are yourvillage headsat? WhereIcanbuysomefood and water, a place of lodging, Iwill pay money.”
“你们的村长在哪?我能在什么地方买到一些食物和水,还有一个住宿的地方,我会付钱。”„Village headin the eastgroveopen area.” A youngmanis shoutingtoZelin. „Others there.”
“村长在东边的林子空地里。”一名年轻男人对着泽林喊道。“其他人都在那里。”Zelinlooksto the village, the white birchforest of coverswingsunder the shadow of setting sun. Hehas not spoken, is leading a horseto move toward the forest. Alsowithoutdepending onnear the forest the open area, hehears a noisynoise.泽林看向村庄东边,茂密的桦木林在夕阳的阴影下摇摆。他没有说话,牵着马走向森林。还没靠进林边空地,他就听到一阵吵闹的喧嚣。„...... Hewent was so long, has not come out, definitelydied.”
“……他进去那么久了,还没出来,肯定是死了。”Severalvillagersassemblein the forestopen area, looks that the shadownumerousforeststalked in whispers. Healthybutactuallyappears the oldmanto standin the forefront. Others take the pitchfork and axe.
几名村民围聚在森林旁的空地上,看着阴影重重的森林窃窃私语。一名身体硬朗但却显得苍老的男人站在最前面。其他人都拿着草叉和斧头。„Raneither, theseuse the people of swordarethis, at the back of the sword, deceivesto eatto deceiveto drink, encounters the dangerto runcleanly, Iheard that last monthCountSirhungseveralswindlers.”
“要么就是跑了,这些用剑的人都是这样,背着把剑,骗吃骗喝,遇到危险就跑得一干二净,我听说上个月伯爵大人吊死了好几个骗子。”„In the eveningis unsafe, walks, waitsnot to have the significance.”
“晚上不安全,走吧,等着也没意义。”„Yes, but alsowaits foranything, Iwillmake a betwith a copper coin, hewill be the same withPauliat, the intestineswere pulled more than twometersfar.”
“就是,还等什么,我敢拿一枚铜币打赌,他会和小波利亚一样,肠子被扯出两米多远。”„Waitsagain for severalminutes.” The village headwas being blown the crookedpostheader capturbanby the wind. „Waitsagain for severalminutes, ifhehas not come out, wego back, writesnewcommissionagain, tomorrowwill pasteNotice Boardto come up. No one can movethathorse, ifLordwill make an arrestto become a soldiertomorrow, wecanarrivewiththathorse comes, thathorseis very good, Mr.Betschlikes the horsevery much...... whowhere?!”
“再等几分钟。”村长正了正被风吹歪的贴头帽巾。“再等几分钟,要是他没出来,我们就回去,再写一张新的委托,明天贴到告示牌上去。谁都不许动那匹马,要是明天领主来抓人去当兵,我们可以用那匹马来抵,那匹马很好,贝奇老爷很喜欢马……谁在哪里?!”„desirelooks for the traveller in staying overnightplace, somepeopletoldme, theirvillage headshere.”Zelinpulled the cape. „WhatpersonIhearyouto wait, orcarves upsometravellerpropertyin the waiting the opportunity?”
“一个想要寻找留宿地方的旅行者,有人告诉我,他们的村长正在这里。”泽林扯了扯斗篷。“我听到你们在等待什么人,或者说在等待瓜分某个旅行者财物的机会?”„Youmade a mistake, young people.” The village headspreads out the hand. „A month ago, inthisforestcameMonster, webesthunterwas killed, the trapwas also destroyed a cleanness. ThereforewehiredWitcher, hedeclared that canhelpusmassacreMonster.”
“你错了,年轻人。”村长摊开手。“一个月前,这座森林里来了一个怪物,我们最好的猎人被杀了,陷阱也被破坏了个干净。所以我们雇佣了一个狩魔猎人,他宣称可以帮我们杀掉怪物。”„Witcher?”Zelinshoulders the eyebrow. „WhatMonster?”
“一个狩魔猎人?”泽林挑起眉毛。“什么怪物?”„Ghoul.”Villagerssaid. „Possiblyhasseveral.”
“食尸鬼。”一名村民说道。“可能有好几只。”„How do youknow?”
“你们怎么知道的?”„Pastorhas said.”Anotherperson with a pockmarked facefacevillagersadded. „Inforestdiedtoomanypeople, withoutEternal Fire, the corpsecanattractGhoul. Whenwecontributed money, goes toNovigradto buy the Eternal Firealtar.”
“牧师说过。”另一名麻子脸村民补充道。“森林里死了太多的人,没有永恒之火,尸体会吸引食尸鬼。等我们攒够钱了,就去诺维格瑞买个永恒之火的祭坛。”
