Before dawn, Roy whistling rests in the warm bedding greatly, after the dream to oneself select Griffin, Higher Vampire and The Unseen Elder only, the front has an aquiline nose and mirror merchant of skin disease dysentery head. 凌晨时分,罗伊在温暖的被窝里呼呼大睡,正梦到自己单挑完狮鹫、高等吸血鬼、暗影长者后,面前出现一个鹰钩鼻、癞痢头的镜子商人。 Sudden rapid knocking at the door sound awakens him. 突然一阵急促的拍门声将他惊醒。 „Susie and Moore, have the urgent matter, opens the door quickly!” Roy struggles is crawling to set out, sees the parents to hold the candle to stand in the entrance, the opposite stature tall and strong Butcher look is terrified, the sound trembles is explaining. “苏茜、老摩尔,有急事,快开门！”罗伊一身冷汗挣扎着爬起身,就见爹妈举着蜡烛站在门口,对面身材魁梧的屠夫正神色惶恐,声音发颤地解释着。 The night wind that out of the door floods into blows, he is thorough from the blurry condition. 门外涌入的夜风一吹,他从迷糊状态彻底清醒。 Actually what matter makes that bad language serial Butcher so rude? In the Roy heart flashes through an answer. 究竟什么事让那个脏话连篇的屠夫如此失态？罗伊心中闪过一个答案。 „Was Uncle Fletcher, Brandon has an accident?” He puts on the frail flax coat, arrives at side the old couples. “弗莱彻大叔,是不是布兰东出事了？”他披上单薄的亚麻上衣,走到老两口身边。 Under the flame shines, the eye of Butcher proliferates the blood threads, the lip is split, the whole person like ants on a heated pan, seems to be anxious and thin and pale. 火光照耀下,屠夫的眼睛遍布血丝,嘴唇干裂,整个人仿佛热锅上的蚂蚁,焦急又憔悴。 „That brat......” Fletcher dangling head, is grasping the hand and beard of flare vibrates slightly, „he was missing, tonight has not gone home.” “那个臭小子……”弗莱彻垂下头,握着火把的手和胡须微微抖动,“他失踪了,今天晚上没回家。” „In Minty family/home has looked? Does the boy family/home that Brandon can play together sleep?” “明迪家里找过了吗？布兰东会不会在一起玩的男孩家睡觉？” Roy deeply inspires, makes the tone stay quiet as far as possible, „also has senior captain Tavern, he also goes occasionally.” 罗伊深吸一口气,尽量让语气保持平静,“还有老船长酒馆,他偶尔也去。” „No one! „ Fletcher shakes the head, „ I looked everywhere, has asked everyone! Starting from noon, whom in the village does not have to see him again. Although the brat is mischievous, has not stayed outside to is so late.” “没人！“弗莱彻摇了摇头,“我找遍了,问过所有人！从中午开始,村里没谁再见到他。臭小子虽然顽皮,从没在外面待到这么晚。” „No rush, Uncle Fletcher, you thinks where again carefully he possibly does go? We accompany you to find the person together!” “别着急,弗莱彻大叔,你再仔细想想他可能去什么地方？我们陪你一起找人！” „You give me to rest at home honestly,” Moore actually holds down the shoulder of Roy, „I and Susie go out to help!” “你给我老实在家休息,”老摩尔却按住罗伊的肩膀,“我和苏茜出去帮忙！” „Don't father, what forget I this month of dry/does to work? The blood that I see sees for a lifetime also many compared with most people, isn't the evening? I am not afraid.” The revolution of Roy calm vision on the old couples face, held their hands, „believes me, I will protect myself good.” “老爹,别忘了我这一个月干的什么工作？我见的血比大部分人一辈子见得还多,不就是晚上吗？我不害怕。”罗伊沉着的目光在老两口脸上一转,捏了捏他们的手,“相信我,我会保护好自己。” Moore and Susie exchanged a look, sighed, nod. 老摩尔和苏茜交换了个眼神,叹了口气,点头。 This month they more and more feel the received son's change clearly, the Roy no longer weak introverted, he has the own idea, so long as makes up mind, has no way to convince Roy with their temperament and characters from the start. 这个月他们越来越清楚地感受到儿子的变化,罗伊不再软弱内向,他有自己的想法,只要拿定主意,以他们的脾气和性格压根没法说服罗伊。 Several people gushed out the courtyard together. 几人一起涌出了院子。 Fletcher shook his hand, „thank you, child.” 弗莱彻握了握他的手,“谢谢你,孩子。” Roy is feeling the effort, nods, one month the attendance of opposite party he watches, naturally cannot sit by and do nothing. 罗伊感受着力度,点了点头,一个月来对方的照顾他都看在眼里,自然不会坐视不理。 The young crying baby to Fletcher is a entire world, if loses this child, he can be sad? 小鼻涕虫对弗莱彻而言就是全世界,如果失去这个的孩子,他得多伤心啊？ Roy has felt this losing family member's pain, he is not really cruel enough. 罗伊感受过这种失去亲人的痛苦,他实在不忍心。 ...... …… In the village each and every family is brilliantly illuminated, is not standing in Fletcher behind One-Eyed Jack and blacksmith Poussigue, night watchman Thompson, as well as three overly cautious and prudent male villagers, a flare, some waists wear Steel Sword every, some are raising the hoe and pitchfork, has prepared sufficient. 村子里家家户户灯火通明,在弗莱彻身后不远站着独眼杰克、铁匠普西格、守夜人汤普森,以及三个老实巴交的男村民,人手一个火把,有的腰佩钢剑,有的提着锄头、草叉,已经做好了充足的准备。 „Such person? Doesn't the village head arrange everyone to act together?” The Roy heart is slightly disappointed. “这么点人？村长不安排大家一起行动？”罗伊心头微微失望。 „Oh......” One-Eyed Jack is clutching the beard, sighing, „is bigger more fears death, said that what evening open country is unsafe, will only agree to send people to search tomorrow morning, gathering so many people will not be easy. We make the best use of the time, when tomorrow, the Skellige salt fish must become stale......” “唉……”独眼杰克揪着胡须,叹了口气,“年纪越大越怕死,说什么晚上野外不安全,只同意明早派人搜查,凑到这么多人不容易。咱们抓紧时间,等到明天,史凯利杰的咸鱼都得发臭……” „Boss, do not pour cold water!” Poussigue swept Butcher self-poise, the comfort said reluctantly, „the small Brandon estimate becomes lost outside the village, a very smart child, Melitele Goddess will bless his.” “头儿,别泼冷水了！”普西格镇定自若扫了一眼屠夫,勉强安慰道,“小布兰东估计是在村子外面迷路,很机灵的一个孩子,梅里泰莉女神会保佑他的。” However the people on the scene understand, in one by small village of wilderness surrounding, what was missing to mean sparsely inhabited? But no one is willing to say the truth. 然而在场众人心里明白,在一个人烟稀少被荒野包围的小村子,失踪意味着什么？但谁也不愿意说出真相。 In the Roy heart exudes a cool feeling, he remembers suddenly in the morning to Brandon that bad attitude. 罗伊心中泛起一股凉意,他猛然想起自己上午对布兰东那恶劣的态度。 If Brandon run into something unexpected? Oneself cannot evade responsibility, no matter what! 如果布兰东发生意外？自己脱不了责任！ „It is not good, must find him.” “不行,一定要找到他。” „We divide two teams, takes care of mutually...... outside the east and west toward the village searches, do not walk too, if had not really discovered that hurries.” The night watchmen are saying , divides to arrive at oneself one team Roy and blacksmith Poussigue, One-Eyed Jack, Butcher Fletcher, the Susie old couples searches the west side with three villagers together. “咱们分两队,互相照应……往村子外面东西两个方向搜索,别走得太远,如果实在没发现就赶紧回来。”守夜人说着,将罗伊、铁匠普西格、独眼杰克、屠夫弗莱彻、分到自己一队,苏茜老两口则跟三个村民一起搜索西边。 „Father and Susie, should not be worried about me, has the blacksmith uncle to take care, I am very safe. You must protect itself good!” Two people see son that side equipment more excellent, nods. “老爹、苏茜,不要担心我,有铁匠大叔照应,我很安全。你们也要保护好自己！”两人见儿子那边的装备更加精良,点了点头。 According to the blacksmith, Butcher, Roy, the priority order of Boss Tavern and going on night patrol person, a five people of flare marched into the darkness outside village every. 按照铁匠、屠夫、罗伊、酒馆老板、巡夜人的先后顺序,五人人手一支火把步入了村外的黑暗。 No one knows that in the darkness is ambushing what danger, the Lower Posada wilderness, does not lack the savage wild dog and pack of wolves in any case, with other ghost things. 谁也不知道黑暗中潜伏着什么危险,反正下波萨达的荒野,绝不缺少凶残的野狗、狼群,和其他鬼东西。 ...... …… The Aedirn autumn night is especially cold, the temperature is close to the zero degree, Roy cannot bear tremble. 亚甸秋天的夜晚格外寒冷,温度接近零度,罗伊忍不住瑟瑟发抖。 The plump moon hangs in the nighttime sky, sprinkles the bright ray, all around hears some strange cries indistinctly, probably insect cry, or other anything. 饱满的月亮在夜空中高悬,洒下皎洁的光芒,四周隐约传来一些奇怪的叫声,像是虫鸣,或者别的什么东西。 Under moonlight golden wheat ear, as night wind light swayed, there is azure tender hops to drag a light bitter and astringent flavor, but does not have any response. 月光下金黄色的麦穗随着夜风轻摆,也有青嫩的蛇麻花摇曳出一股淡淡的苦涩味道,但没有任何回应。 The people first along Kaye nearby farmland search, keep shouting the Brandon name. 众人先是沿着卡耶附近的农田搜索,不停呼喊着布兰东的名字。 Although there is the flare and a moonlight, nearby the field of vision still received enormous Suppress, most people can only see clearly ten late about the object. 虽然有火把和月光,视野仍然受到极大的压制,大部分人只能够看清楚附近十迟左右的物体。 But this is only to the ordinary person. Roy discovered that with amazement the own field of vision unexpectedly is not much worse than the daytime, even 30 outside object can still look late clear. 但这只是对普通人而言。罗伊就惊讶地发现自己的视野居然比白天差得不多,就算是30迟以外的物体也能够看得一清二楚。 He comprehends this is vision Enhanced that because 6 points Perception produce, this point he has not added wrong. 他领悟到这是由于六点的感知产生的视力强化,这一点他没有加错。 The time over the past hour, five people searched for the farmland of all Kaye villages, without finding lead, the face of people more stretched slightly is tighter, knew in the heart towed was longer, found child's probability to be lower. 时间过去一个小时,五人将所有卡耶村的农田都搜了一遍,没找到丝毫线索,众人的脸越绷越紧,心知拖的越久,找到孩子的概率就越低。 Old Jack has been paying attention to the expression of others, at this time stopped the footsteps to inquire suddenly again, „does not have a fly to look again like this randomly, does not have the effect. Fletcher you think again carefully where the boy may go?” 老杰克一直注意着旁人的表情,这时忽而停下脚步再次询问,“再这样没头苍蝇地乱找,起不到效果。弗莱彻你再仔细想想,那小子可能会去什么地方？” The Butcher squatting down body, grasped the head painfully. „Brat mouth often shouts is going to the big city, when Bard, has not actually left Kaye this countryside small place, as most fishes as by the village creek, but will not walk is too far.” 屠夫痛苦地蹲下身体,抱住了头。“臭小子嘴里经常嚷嚷着去大城市当吟游诗人,却从来没有离开过卡耶这个乡下小地方,最多到村子旁边的小河里钓鱼,但不会走太远。” „I have not carried out the commitment, sends him to fort and Oxenfurt take a look.” “我还没实现承诺,送他去范格堡、奥森弗特看一看。” Under nearby Roy hears word heart sighed secretly, separated a while, the mind had relayed a thought. 一旁的罗伊闻言心下暗叹,隔了一会儿,脑海中转过一个念头。 „Does Uncle Fletcher, your wife, where the Brandon mother...... bury?” “弗莱彻大叔,你的妻子,布兰东的母亲……葬在哪儿？” Butcher hears word looks dejected, „Anna, because the whooping cough passed away for three years, has buried in......” 屠夫闻言神情黯然,“安娜因为百日咳去世三年了,一直葬在……” „Memorial park!” Butcher stood up suddenly excitedly the body, „Anna buries in the village graveyard, you said that there the brat can run? I will lead him to worship before once in a while, recently the actually several months.” “墓园！”屠夫突然激动地站起了身体,“安娜安葬在村子东边的墓园里,你们说臭小子会不会跑那儿去？我以前每隔一段时间就会带他去祭拜,最近倒是有几个月没去了。” „What also waits for?! Goes to the graveyard!” “还等什么？！去墓园！” Is burying Kaye villagers remains probably 3 li (0.5 km) of place east of the village, between two places has the alley that a vegetation covers. The people hold the flare to dash about wildly in the dim light of night along the road. 埋葬着卡耶村民遗骸的地方距离村子东头大概三里,两地中间有一条草木遮盖的小路。众人举着火把在夜色中沿路狂奔。 Roy follows to run behind out of breath in several grown men, the quick forehead reappearing beads of sweat, his physical ability is slightly inferior in the adult, the father but who he is unable to let a worry child postpones the step, can only clench teeth. 罗伊跟在几个大男人身后跑得上气不接下气,很快额头浮现汗珠,他的体能略微逊色于成年人,但他无法让一个忧心孩子的父亲暂缓步伐,只能咬着牙。 Old Jack does not feel better, old one big, usually in moistens the alcohol a lot, the physical ability is also weak in the average man. 老杰克也不好受,年纪大一大把,平日里没少沾酒精,体能同样弱于常人。 Ran out about one li (0.5 km), the Roy left eye skin jumps suddenly, in the heart does not have the reason to raise premonition, drinks greatly, „careful!” 冲出了大约一里地,罗伊左眼皮突然一跳,心中没来由地升起一股警兆,不由大喝,“小心！” Finishes speaking, around the people, in the lush and jet black shrubbery, passed over gently and swiftly suddenly several points strange green lights. 话音刚落,众人四周,茂盛而漆黑的灌木丛中,骤然掠过几点诡异的绿光。 No, is pairs of just like jack-o'-lantern pupil. 不,是一对对宛如鬼火般的瞳孔。 Follows one noisily, depressing to roar low and deep, moonlight next several fierce fearsome wolf shades blocked their way. 伴随一阵嘈杂、压抑低沉咆哮,月光下几头狰狞可怖的狼影拦住了他们的去路。
