马拉维尔伯爵的城堡位于大片山坡上,站在城堡主楼的阳台上,可以清晰俯视下方的森林和草原,还有远处坐落在城堡附近的几座村庄。卫兵在夜色中缓缓拉起吊桥,点亮城堡各处的火把,到厨房门前排队领取今天的晚餐。„Can Witcher, whatpersonpossiblyassassinateto the north?”Malavilleis carrying the hand of wine glassstifflyin the midair, surprisedis looking atSutter. „Iam not clear, thisis not an interestingjoke, thisis a seriousindictment, the northhas an intriguerto hire the assassinexcept the political opponent, ina while ago, after the VizimaRoyal Castlehas had that badmurder case, your wordswill knock the nerves of painmanypeople. Without the clearevidence, solelydepends upon the Witcherspoken language, proposed that suchindictment was too rather careless.”
“一个狩魔猎人,可能要到北方刺杀什么人?”马拉维尔端着酒杯的手僵在半空中,惊奇的望着古克萨特。“我不明白,这不是个有趣的笑话,这是一个严重的指控,北方有一名阴谋家雇佣刺客除去政敌,在前段时间,维吉玛皇家城堡内发生过那么糟糕的血案后,你的这句话会敲痛许多人的神经。如果没有确切证据,仅仅依靠狩魔猎人的言语,提出这样的指控未免太草率了。”„Ido not likecracking a jokeatthisimportantmatter.”Suttershakes the head. „Iarrive at the northforthismatter, Brunnsteals awayis nothisarmor and weapon, hewill usethemto assassinate, evenpossiblyframes by planting stolen goods on the heads of allWitcherthismatter. Heleftmeto pursueshortly, I believe that regardless ofheplannedto assassinate anyone, has not begunwith enough time.”
“我不喜欢在这种重要的事情上开玩笑。”古克萨特摇摇头。“我来到北方正是为了这件事,布伦偷走不属于他的盔甲和武器,他会利用它们去行刺,甚至可能将这件事栽赃到所有狩魔猎人的头上。他离开没多久我就追了上来,我相信无论他打算刺杀什么人,都还没来得及动手。”

伯爵热情的招待两位狩魔猎人,主要是古克萨特,这位狩魔猎人在七十年前就和他的家族有过交集。虽然没人能在狩魔猎人身上看出他们的确切年龄,不过泽林从只言片语中推断,古克萨特可能要比他年长的多。当伯爵招待家族的友人时,泽林则将注意力放在城堡的装饰上。来自陶森特的艺术酒瓶,来自艾宾的手工艺雕像,是一只振翅飞翔的雄鹰,马提那的丝绸挂毯,上面绘制着商船驶过尼弗迦德帝都港口的太阳之门的景色。书架上,他至少看到五本有关帝国方面的书籍,从政治制度到历史,再到人文风俗。„Youcanwarn that hereNoble, makingthemcarefullyforgood, ifcandiscoverahead of timeBrunn'strace, cantellme. I and friend of minewill cope withhim.”Sutterputs down the roastingrabbitleg in hand, the lookis serious. „Heis dangerous, yousent the ordinarysoldierto cope withhimin the past, butsent peopleto bring death.”
“你可以警告这里的贵族,让他们小心为好,如果能够提前发现布伦的踪影,可以告诉我。我和我的朋友会去对付他。”古克萨特放下手中的烤兔腿,神色严肃。“他非常危险,你派普通的士兵过去对付他,只是派人去送死。”„The people of imperialcommitteedo not believe that mywords, in their eyes, Witchertestimonymight as wellhisHoundsoundstwo.” The Counttakes up the handkerchief, gracefulmaking a belch. „Letsmeandyouwithitwarnsthem, looks for a sacrificial offeringor the pastorwould rather, regarding the emptycaution and prediction, theyalwaysgoes after like ducks. However the sincereanxiouswarningwas actually abandonedpaying no attention. Idare saying that Itoldthemthismatter, theywill comply, then before waiting forme, treadonned the instance of castle, will suspect whether Imustframethem.”
“皇家委员会的人不会相信我的话,在他们眼中,狩魔猎人的证词还不如他脚下的猎犬鸣叫两声。”伯爵拿起手帕,优雅的打了个嗝。“与其让我和你去警告他们,倒不如找一位祭祀或者牧师,对于空洞的警示和预言,他们总是趋之若鹜。但是诚恳急切的警告却被弃之不理。我敢说,我去告诉他们这件事,他们会答应下来,然后等我前脚踏出城堡的瞬间,就会怀疑我是否要借此陷害他们。”„Sounds like the opinion of pesimist.”
“听起来像是悲观主义者的言论。”„However, Iam stating a fact.”Malavillespreads out the hand. „Youlivein the north, Witcher, youknow the Temeriasituation. Has a look atmymotherlandtheseyearsatmosphere, fillsfrightenedandcruelbrutal, ice-coldlike the stone, the atmosphere and ponder becomes also darkandbrutal. Everyone is calculating a petty profit, even if the wisesuggestionwill be classified as the worstsuspicion. Myisn't right? FromNoble of imperialcommittee, to the farmer who in the farmlandcultivates. Rigid way of thinking, peoplerathertimewastehow, inconsideringto cheat out of moneyon, is not willingto treat as the trashto throw the books of groundto look atonetothem.”
“然而,我只是在陈述一个客观事实。”马拉维尔摊开手。“你生活在北方,狩魔猎人,你了解泰莫利亚的情况。看看我的祖国这些年的氛围,充满恐惧而残忍无情,冰冷如石,气氛与思考也变得黑暗与残酷。每个人都盘算着一点蝇头小利,哪怕是明智的建议都会被冠以最恶劣的猜忌。我难道说的不对吗?从皇家委员会的贵族,到农田中耕作的农夫。思想僵化,人们宁愿将时间浪费在考虑如何骗钱上,都不愿意对他们当做垃圾扔到地上的书本多看一眼。”Zelinholds up the wine glass in hand. „Has the person of yoursuchidea is not many, Count. YouareOrson Ford Institutecome, right?”泽林举起手中的酒杯。“有你这样想法的人不多,伯爵。你是奥森弗特学院出身,对吗?”„No, Ihave never entered the school, butIseeinsomeplace, peopleare ignorantwithsanecoverpassed/lived, withstatute booksubstitutionfavor, thereforeIrealized,mymotherlandhas suffered hardships and calamitiesinthisdarknessdepressingatmosphereis too long.”Malavillefeels a handfulbeards of chin, in the soundtook a helplessness. „Inthisworld, are more, felt that the future of mymotherlandIlookwill be gloomier.”
“不,我从未进入过学院,但我看到在某个地方,人们用理智盖过愚昧,用法典替代人情,所以我意识到,我的祖国已经在这种黑暗压抑的气氛下受苦受难太久了。”马拉维尔摸着下巴的一小撮胡须,声音中带上了一丝无奈。“在这个世界,我看的越多,就感觉我的祖国的未来越黯淡无光。”„Youandyourcolleagueare not quite same, Count.”Zelinwill look on the bookshelf. Hediscovered that somewhattodescribingsouthern the books, was not perhaps easyto findinOrson Ford Institute. „Different.”
“你和你的同事不太一样,伯爵。”泽林又将目光放到书架上。他发现有些对描述南方的书本,在奥森弗特学院恐怕都不是那么容易找到。“非常不一样。”„Ithankedvariousgodsto letmeandtheydo not resemble, Itook the leadto point out that the shortcoming of motherlandwasbecauseIlovedit, moreovertheseshortcomingswere not infrequent. But others hateme, becauseInot onlydoes not have the samecustom and beliefwiththem, accusation that but alsonon-stopthey.”
“我感谢诸神让我和他们不相像,我之所以率先指出祖国的缺点是因为我爱它,而且这些缺点不在少数。而其他人憎恨我,因为我不仅不和他们有相同的习俗和信仰,而且还不停的指责他们。”„For example?”
“比如说?”„Hypocritical, superstitious, ignorantanddeficientknowledge, but alsoneedsto say?”
“伪善、迷信、愚昧、缺乏学识,还需要说更多吗?”„No, were manyenough.”
“不,足够多了。”„AnalogiedwithyourWitcher, variousGodknowsweby the pain of magical beastwreaking havoc, before Conjunction of the Spheres, bymagicbreedingmonster, after Conjunction of the Spheres, jumpedDemon that from the rottenswamp and landabyss.

“就拿你们狩魔猎人来比喻好了,诸神知道我们饱受魔兽肆虐之苦,天球交汇前被魔法孕育的魔物,天球交汇后从腐烂沼泽和大地深渊中跳出来的恶魔。我丝毫不怀疑,当年道克人和沃兹格人的文明灭绝就是因为遭遇可怕的魔法灾难,还有维朗人,它们位于洛穆涅的古城中到处都是魔法留下的痕迹。但现在我们却要反对魔法,或者将魔法当做可以随意使用的工具,我猜,三千年前的人类文明在灭亡前也是这样想的。所以,在他们留下的石板中,残留着大量类似于黑日诅咒的预言。我怀疑这不是预言,这是过去发生过的历史,某种被称为邪神莉莉丝的怪物毁灭了一切。一个在魔法作用下,从年轻女孩体内诞生的恶魔。”
