太阳升起的时候,这座陈旧而臃肿的中世纪城市也仿佛被重新注入暂时的活力,在阵阵牲口的嘶鸣和车轮碾过石子路的嘎嘎声中运转起来,阳光扫过城市高耸的城墙与塔楼,再照亮钟楼上那些亮晶晶的玻璃窗格,为教堂和城堡的尖顶镀上一层金黄,最后落在那些破破烂烂、低矮杂乱的贫民窟里,仿佛要将这座城市最恶臭的部分烘干一样暖洋洋地烘烤着鳟鱼巷和黑街区的臭水沟。Variouscityplacessealed upnight of manystrobesto startopening, puts on the soldiers of bluewhiteoverallsstoodbeforeshowilybeing called„tending horsespersonfront door”inner cityfront door, looks attheseto bend the waisthumpbackedandrespectfully the rickets the outer cityarearesident of headacrossthisfront door, went to the market and vaudevillepersonsquare of inner city districtseeks a livelihood.

城市各处封闭了一夜的许多闸门开始吱吱嘎嘎地开启,穿着蓝白色罩衫的士兵们耀武扬威地站在被称作“牧马人大门”的内城大门前,看着那些弯腰驼背、恭敬地佝偻着脑袋的外城区居民穿过这座大门,去内城区的市场和杂耍人广场上讨生活。在人流之中,偶尔可以看到大到夸张的大篷车摇摇晃晃地从街道上驶来,大篷车的车顶上坐着穿上了花花绿绿衣服的吉普赛女人,士兵们难免会刁难这些车队一番,通常是索取几枚钱币,或者在那些吉普赛姑娘身上讨点无伤大雅的便宜。没有人会对此发表意见,因为就连鳟鱼巷里的乞丐都知道,这些吉普赛人是文明社会之外的野蛮生物能让他们的大车进入城市就已经是地区主教和领主大人所施舍的天大恩惠了,如果不是缴纳了足够的保护金,这些吉普赛人恐怕在进城之前就已经被当做黑魔法的爪牙统统吊死在城外了。Theyreceivesanycreate obstacles forinthiscityactually are also „the caution money of” a part.
他们在这座城市里受到的任何刁难其实也是“保护金”的一部分。LilyandHao Renalsomixin the crowd, theytook the hood, lowered the head, camouflagestwojustto enter the peasant household in cityfrom the countryside, tocovertheyobviousOrientalcharacteristics.

内城区比外城区明显繁华很多,而且建筑也更加整洁华美,只是在郝仁看来这种进化也着实有限,经受过现代城市甚至异世界风景的洗礼之后,他已经很难对这个时代的人造建筑物产生什么震撼之感了。Lets loosefineDivine Powerto induce, in additionLilythattodoes not let off the keenear of anyslightest sign of trouble, twopeoplecollect the needinformationinthisstrangecityfast, among the onset and retreatcannot be seeing the crampedfeeling of people from other place. In a while, theyfound the destination of trip: A smallsquaresituated ininner city districtedge.
一路放开精神力感应,再加上莉莉那对不放过任何风吹草动的灵敏耳朵,二人在这座陌生城市中飞快地收集着需要的情报,进退之间丝毫看不出外地人的局促之感。没过多久,他们就找到了此行的目的地:位于内城区边缘的一座小广场。Thissquareobviouslyis notplace that holds the assemblycelebration, severalsoldier who is having the yawndefendsaround the square, does not make the average personapproachat will, butthing that theyguardinsquarecenter: Thereis setting upscarytopping cheatsas well astwodarkstone columns, on the stone column the blackened by smoketraceas well asis used for the snap ring of fixedropeto explaintheirfunction: Stakecolumn.
这座广场明显不是个举行集会庆祝的地方,几个打着哈欠的士兵守在广场周围,不让普通人随意靠近,而他们所守卫的东西就在广场中央:那里立着一座骇人的绞刑架以及两个黑乎乎的石柱,石柱上被熏黑的痕迹以及用来固定绳索的扣环说明了它们的作用:火刑柱。
The stakecolumnsurroundingasheshad been cleaned upcleanly, buton the topping cheatis actually also hanging a malecorpse, thatcorpsefrom the skyis swayingscary, tatteredlinenclothespackageonhewitheredemaciatedfour limbs, seemed like hungalreadysometime.
火刑柱周围的灰烬已经被清理干净,但绞刑架上却还吊着一具男性尸体,那具尸体骇人地在空中摇晃着,一身破破烂烂的麻布衣服包裹在他干瘪瘦弱的四肢上,看上去被吊死已经有一段时间了。„Whish...... thisyearhas the plagueno wonderregularly,”Lilysticking out one's tonguelow voicewhisper, after „hangs the person, hung, varioustimegerms that towardhere the corpsewaited to putdirectlyhas multiplied the ancestor18generations here?”
“哗……难怪这个年头隔三差五就有瘟疫,”莉莉吐着舌头小声嘀咕,“吊死人之后就直接把尸体往这儿一挂,等放下来的时候各种病菌都已经在这儿繁衍出祖宗十八代了吧?”„Demonstrationreceiving punishmentis the rulermaintains the method of order, at leastinthisageisthis, a prisonersometimesmustbe hung for more than tendays, evenmusthangon the topping cheattill the ropenaturebreakthatwill usually not carry outin the city.”
“展示受刑者是统治者维持秩序的手段,起码在这个年代是这样,一个囚犯有时候要被吊十几天,甚至要一直在绞刑架上挂到绳索自然断裂为止不过那通常不会在城里执行。”„Iknow certainlythis, myPeking Universitygraduatesfourtimes,”Lilycurls the lip, pretendsto reorganize the clotheswhilesteals a glanceis sizing upall around, „Landlord, youreallythought that nearbythiswill have the trace that the sorceressstays behind?”
“我当然知道这个,我北大毕业四次呢,”莉莉撇撇嘴,一边装作整理衣服一边偷眼打量着四周,“房东,你真的觉得这附近会有女巫留下的痕迹么?”„most likely (80%)assurances.”
“八成把握。”„ThatMadameMarydid not saysorceress who has not been arrested? So-calledrescuesorceressand so on words are usedto deceive the person......”
“那个玛丽夫人不是说并没有被捕的女巫么?所谓营救女巫之类的话都是用来糊弄人的……”„Hassehas toldme, in the darkage, do not believewords that anydifferent kindandyouspoke, tosurvive, theyalreadydiedhonest and creditin the bellyrottenly,”Hao Rensaidin a low voice,„in this regard, Demon Hunterwantedhonest and dependablemany.”
“哈苏跟我说过,在黑暗年代,不要相信任何异类和你说的话,为了生存,他们早已经把诚实和信用烂死在肚子里了,”郝仁低声说道,“在这方面,猎魔人都要诚实可靠的多。”Lilystretched out the sound: „WúOh”莉莉拉长了声音:“唔哦”Hao Renlooked athuskyfineoneeyes: „MoreoverHassegave back tomy‚variousdark ageracecredibilityrankings’, makingmecomparewas looking that whosewordsmostcannot believe that whosewordscanhave the conditionto believe,whosewordswhenare basically reliable, do youwantnot to listen?”郝仁看了哈士奇精一眼:“而且哈苏还给了我个‘黑暗时代各种族可信度排行榜’,让我对照着看谁的话最不能信,谁的话可以有条件相信,谁的话基本上啥时候都可靠,你想听听不?”huskymisswas really swindled: „LandlordLandlord, does Werewolfarrangeseveral?”
哈士奇姑娘果然上当:“房东房东,狼人排第几?”Althoughshehas accepted herselfishuskyfact, howevermetthistopiccannot help butto pay attention to the Werewolfmatterto come.
她虽然早就接受了自己是个哈士奇的事实,然而遇到这种话题还是不由自主就关注起狼人的事儿来了。„Werewolfmostcanbelieve that because ofthisstraightforwardfellowswithyourschemes and tricks, will not under normal conditions lookfrom the startyouentrainyouto go tohorncornerto discussuncomfortabledirectlyideal of life, vampireandOlympusand otherrespected familydescendantsare relatively credible, becausetheyattach importance to face, familygloriousracegloryanything, so long asfollowingtheirworld outlookspondered that youcandoto understandhowto deal withthisfellows, butmostunthinkable...... is the sorceressand so onoriginallyin the fellow who the mythtimethenresides in the floor.”
“狼人是最可以相信的,因为这帮耿直的家伙压根不会跟你阴谋诡计,通常情况下看你不爽就直接拽你去犄角旮旯里谈人生理想了,吸血鬼和奥林匹斯等大家族后裔相对可信,因为他们好面子,家族荣耀种族荣耀什么的,只要顺着他们的世界观思考你就能搞明白怎么跟这帮家伙打交道,而最不可相信的……就是女巫之类原本在神话时代便居于底层的家伙。”Hao Renis saying, the line of sightfallson a squarecornercommonfloor tile.郝仁说着,视线落在广场角落一块不起眼的地砖上。„Because ofweak trend, thereforeis more unscrupulous, becauseloses the fettersuddenly, thereforehandles affairsstops at nothing, theymustsurvivein the darkage are not easiest, as long ascansurvive...... onehas not been the fuel-efficientlamp.”
“因为弱势,所以更肆无忌惮,因为突然失去束缚,所以行事更加无所不用其极,他们要在黑暗年代生存下去是最不容易的,所以但凡能生存下来的……没有一个是省油的灯。”Onthatcommonfloor tile, cansee a fuzzymark, normalfissure of thatmarkprobablytogethertoaverage person, howeverHao Renactuallyknew that thisgadgetisanything.
在那块不起眼的地砖上,可以看到一个模模糊糊的印记,那印记对普通人而言大概只是一块再正常不过的裂痕,然而郝仁却认识这玩意儿到底是什么。Letta rune.
一枚莱塔符文。SoleLetta runeisnothingstrength, thereforeheremust have manyrune/symbolwriting, hideinthisprobably„goodexecution grounds”inothercorners.
单一的莱塔符文是没什么力量的,所以这里应当还有更多的符文,大概就隐藏在这个“行刑场”的其他角落里。HoweverHao Rentotheserune/symbolwriting less interests, so long asconfirmed that theserune/symbolwritingexistenceswere OK.
不过郝仁对这些符文并没有更多兴趣,只要确认这些符文的存在就可以了。„Landlord, what did youdiscover?”Lilylooks atHao Rencuriously.
“房东,你发现啥了?”莉莉好奇地看着郝仁。„Letta rune, the sorceresshas come tohere, theypossiblyplanto rescueoneselfcompanionwhenexecution, buttheydo not know when thatgraspedsorceresswill be executed, thereforetheyestablishedLetta runeahead of timehere. The sorceress who is arrestedevidentlyisimportant member in their organizationor the group, evenpossiblyis the sorceress who the leaderotherwiseplacesthisagenot possibletorescuecompanionsweettakes such bigrisk.”
“莱塔符文,女巫已经来过这里了,她们可能打算在行刑时解救自己的同伴,但她们并不知道那个被抓的女巫会在什么时候被处决,因此她们提前在这里设置了莱塔符文。看样子被捕的女巫是她们这个组织或者团体中的重要成员,甚至可能是领袖否则身处这个年代的女巫不可能为了解救同伴甘冒这么大的风险。”Lilyblinks: „Theyalsohad a wizardto help the wordssay that probably the wizardwasanythingrelatesAh?with the sorceress”莉莉眨眨眼:“她们好像还有个男巫帮忙话说男巫跟女巫是什么关系啊?”„The number of wizardare smaller than of the sorceress, becausemythtimewizardascannon fodderbytheir‚master’mass consumptions, because the sorceress the upfrontbattle efficiencywas inferior that the wizardthereforeis far away from the frontal battlefield, finallyat this timeinsteadbecame the mainstreamsorcerer of dark age,”Hao Renanswered, „the inheritancesystem of wizardandsorceresswas different, becauseinitiallydifferent kind‚gods’, whenraised the sorcererto aim at the human the physiqueto be different, butdesigneddifferentlytothem‚teaching’planin factwas the differenthuman experiments.

“男巫的数量比女巫少,因为神话时代男巫作为炮灰被他们的‘主人’大量消耗,而女巫则由于正面战斗力不如男巫所以远离正面战场,结果这时候反而成了黑暗时代的主流巫师,”郝仁解释道,“男巫和女巫的传承体系不一样,因为当初异类‘神明’在豢养巫师的时候针对人类的体质不同而给他们设计了不同的‘教学’方案实际上就是不同的人体试验。一般情况下男巫和女巫不会有什么交道,但也没有矛盾,神话时代结束之后他们都是井水不犯河水地各自成一个圈子,但毕竟当初‘系出同门’,在有需要的时候他们还是会有所交流。我猜测的过程是这样的:薇薇安沉睡的地方会产生较为强大的能量释放,这些能量吸引了一批女巫,她们可能打算从薇薇安的沉睡地里面占点便宜,但却不小心暴露行踪并导致其中一人被捕,那名男巫可能是她们请来的外援,也可能是路过的巫师接受了女巫们的邀请,但有一点是可以肯定的,那就是他们之间以前就认识:在这个年代,每个隐居组织都不会随意接受陌生人……”Lilyis a little curious: „The average person of thisage can also hold the sorceress?”莉莉有点好奇:“这个年代的普通人也能抓住女巫的么?”„Average personwithgrasping the sorcerer of magiccomparesnaturallysmall and weakly, buttheydo not have the resistanceability, after allfrom ancient to presentis dealing with the different kind, even ifhumansideis in a weak positionthroughout, somedeals with the method, thesemethodsusuallygraspedin the church the exorcismingorganizationhands of classesandinsomeanchorites of middle ages, theirpredecessorsbasicallywerevarioushuman of mythtimerevolt against the organization, someorganizationshave possibly also received the technicalevenmaterial aid of Demon Hunter...... evenuntilthe 21 st century, somehiddenworldorganizations was still revolvingsecretly, supernatural force in surveillanceworld. Butover time and growth of humaninpositive force, withering away of theseorganizationsis an inevitable trend.”
“普通人跟掌握魔法的巫师比起来当然弱小,但他们也不是全无反抗能力的,毕竟从古至今跟异类打着交道,哪怕人类这方始终处于弱势,也有一些应对方法,这些方法通常掌握在中世纪的教会阶层和一些隐修的驱魔组织手中,他们的前身基本上都是神话时代的各种人类反抗组织,其中一些组织可能还受到过猎魔人的技术甚至物资援助……甚至直到了二十一世纪,一些隐世组织还在暗地里运转着,监视世界上的超自然力量。只不过随着时间推移以及人类在正面力量上的增长,这些组织的消亡已经是一种必然趋势了。”Hao Renwas sayingat the same timethesehear the knowledge that as well asin the ordinary daylearnsfrom the Hassemouth, a sidebandLilybeforesmallsquareslowlypasses through, withoutremarkableleftthisplace.郝仁一边说着这些从哈苏口中听到以及平日里学习来的知识,一边带着莉莉从小广场前慢慢走过,在不引人注意的情况下离开了这个地方。

看守广场的士兵懒洋洋地看着从眼前走过的行人,他们的视线在郝仁和莉莉身上大约停留了一两秒钟,然而很快就认为这是两个既无油水又没乐子的乡下人,于是又把脑袋转了回去。Theystartto discuss that hangs the pitifulprisonerontopping cheat, as well asrecent„blackmagic”rumor.
他们开始讨论那个挂在绞刑架上的可怜囚犯,以及最近的“黑魔法”传言。Onethroughout the day, Hao RenandLily the chaoticrevolutionsin the city, sometimesfollowing the crowdintheseopenplacenosing, sometimesrely on the inhumanskillto steal into these placecollectioninformation that everywhereforbids the civiliansto approach, like thisto the time that the nightfell.
一整个白天,郝仁和莉莉都在城市中四处乱转,有时候是顺着人群在那些开放的场所查探情况,有时候则凭借非人的身手溜进那些禁止平民靠近的地方收集情报,就这样一直到了夜幕降临的时刻。Two peoplemasquerade, crossed the city walltaking advantage of the dim light of night, preparesto gowiththesemysticalsorceressesto meet with......
