Roy is impossible to take to rush to Witcher the travel of Trial together, arrives in Cintra to make a detour again Aretuza, that is not realistic, Letho is impossible to agree to bring a child in such an arrangement again. 罗伊不可能带上托娅一起奔赴猎魔人的试炼之旅,抵达辛特拉再转道艾瑞图萨,那不现实,雷索也不可能同意再带个拖油瓶。 He must draw support from others' help. 他得借助别人的帮助。 But bigshot that entire Aldersberg, he knows, only has the Dwarf good wine to act Sevier · Hoog, as well as Cardale's the principal of family/home, the member of revolutionary army. 而整个艾德斯博格,他认识的大人物,只有矮人美酒代理塞维尔·霍格、以及卡戴尔之家的校长,革命军的一份子。 To deliver to Aretuza outside thousand li (500 km), making her join Academy, the means falls on these two people. 想要把托娅送到千里之外的艾瑞图萨,让她加入学院,办法就落在这两个人身上。 ...... …… Rich neighbourhood, Sevier · Hoog mansion, clear weather morning. 富人区,塞维尔·霍格府邸,天气晴朗的上午。 The Dwarf wine merchant is getting the sunlight on the deck chair in courtyard, „eliminated demon” to pass quick one month for him from Witcher, his day passed as if well, the dark pouche nearly vanished, the bucket waist became „extravagant”, the thick beard and hair shiny black soon flowed the oil. 矮人酒商正在院子里的躺椅上晒着阳光,距离猎魔人替他“除魔”过去了快一个月,他日子过得似乎不错,黑眼圈近乎消失,水桶腰变得更加“阔绰”,浓密的胡须和头发黑亮得快要流油。 „Roy, does not see some time, you very pass in the Aldersberg day moisten.” Sevier beckons then to grip on reckless whip, face to lead the light freckle Dwarf maidservant to send one bottle of sweet wines, fills for two people, then leaves rapidly. „Words that I have not misread, you high were also strong, although does not have the attractive beard as before, but did the man spirit progress much...... has recuperated with Mahakam Dwarf Dwarven Spirit every day?” “罗伊,一段时间不见,你在艾德斯博格日子过得挺滋润啊。”塞维尔一招手便有一个扎着胡鞭、脸上带着淡淡雀斑的矮人侍女送来一瓶蜜酒,替两人斟满,然后迅速离开。“我没看错的话,你高了也壮了,虽然依旧没有漂亮的胡须,但男子汉气概长进了不少……是不是每天用玛哈坎的矮人烈酒调养过了？” Lies down Roy on side rattan chair, sipped a sweet wine, the light sweet taste, the entrance is gentle, thought highly of one, good that „Mr. Sevier said that the Dwarf good wine naturally is not the watering adulterated liquor that other manufacture in a rough way may compare. Your recent situation how? ‚After Hym’ was eliminated, but also has had the nightmare?” 躺在旁边藤椅上的罗伊,抿了口蜜酒,淡淡的甜味,入口柔和,不禁恭维了一句,“塞维尔先生说的不错,矮人的美酒自然不是其他粗制滥造的掺水假酒可比的。您近况如何？‘希姆’被消灭后,还做过噩梦吗？” „Was lucky you and Master Letho,” Sevier laugh saying that „nightmare largely vanishes, I turned into energetic and strong Mahakam small squirrel.” He stands up from failure when the rattan chair clumsily, a hand is supporting the furry chin, looks at Roy, „occasionally time of quiet, will remember, my pitiful brothers Akon treats as in the cask soaks...... cannot then be eating meal next day.” “多亏了你和雷索大师,”塞维尔开怀大笑道,“噩梦基本消失,鄙人又变成了精力充沛、身体强壮的玛哈坎小松鼠。”他在藤椅上笨拙地翻了个身,一只手撑着毛茸茸的下巴,看着罗伊这边,“只是偶尔夜深人静之时,还是会想起,我那可怜的兄弟阿肯依旧待在酒桶里泡着……然后第二天都吃不下饭。” The Dwarf hoarse low and deep sound for it, had the profound meaning saying that „Akon's remains, actually when can return to his domain, obtained to rest?” 矮人沙哑低沉的声音为之一顿,别有深意地说,“阿肯的遗体,究竟什么时候才能回归他的地盘,获得安息呢？” „Right, hasn't Roy, how seen Master Letho today?” “对了,罗伊,今天怎么没看到雷索大师？” „He went out to handle matters, has not come back.” Roy asked that „did Mr. Sevier, how I help you solve this to trouble?” “他出去办事了,还没回来。”罗伊问道,“塞维尔先生,我来帮你解决这个麻烦如何？” „The words that Roy, I have not misunderstood,” Sevier stroked thick beard, the look has the question, „you referred to a person, helping me deliver to the revolutionary army high-level hand Akon body?” “罗伊,我没听错的话,”塞维尔捋了一把浓密的胡须,眼神带着质疑,“你指的是一个人神不知鬼不觉地,帮我把阿肯地尸体送到革命军高层手中？” „Right...... Mr. Sevier,” the Roy look is bright, the sound is calm, is seemingly sporty, „are you willing to give me this comission?” “没错……塞维尔先生,”罗伊眼神明亮,声音沉稳,看上去底气十足,“你愿意把这个委托交给我吗？” After a half hour, in wine cellar. 半小时后,酒窖之中。 Pale masculine distortion that both eyes shut tightly the limbs and deathly stillness partly are lying down in the place artificially. 一位双目紧闭的苍白男性不自然地扭曲着肢体、死寂地半躺于地。 Meanwhile, the strong alcohol taste, with one as pale as the pinnacle almost by the corpse putrefactive odor that the wine taste covers up completely, broke in the nose of Roy. 同时,浓烈的酒精味,和一股淡到极致几乎被酒味完全遮掩的尸体腐臭味,冲入了罗伊的鼻子。 He stared in a big way the eye, winked to gaze at this to be well-known for a long time bigshot, leader Vernon of revolutionary army · Ryan. Also is Dwarf good brothers Akon. That never drinks wine actually dead of the wise man of good wine. 他不由瞪大了眼睛,一眨不眨注视这位闻名已久的大人物,革命军的领袖弗农·瑞恩。也就是矮人的好兄弟阿肯。那位从不饮酒却死于美酒的智者。 The male corpses put on one simply like the gray flax coat of Farmer and coolie, black tight-fitting pants. His four limbs are slender, stature is thin and small, the lower jaw and prominent cheekbone of crown high-pitched and fine ear, aquiline nose and melon seed explained that he has a Elf bloodline. 男尸穿着一身朴素的如同农夫和苦力的灰色亚麻外衣,黑色的紧身裤。他的四肢修长,身材纤瘦,顶部尖细的耳朵、鹰钩鼻、瓜子形的下颚、突出的颧骨说明他有一丝精灵的血统。 Perhaps before is dies, extremely in the discomfort, his expression also remains to fear and fierce vaguely, both hands soft place the both sides weak, resembling is to hold anything, anything cannot hold. 也许是死前太过于难受,他的表情依稀还残留着一丝恐惧和狰狞,双手绵软无力地放在两侧,似是想要抓住什么,却什么也抓不住。 The corpse does not know how long was soaked by the liquor water, the skin covered entirely the fold, and in chests and bellies occasionally obvious groups of ugly livor mortises. 尸体不知道被酒水浸泡了多久,皮肤布满了褶皱,并且胸腹之间偶尔可见一组组难看尸斑。 Corpse specimen of such scenes and previous generation these immersions in formalin have the wonder of equally good results from different methods. 这样的场景和前世那些浸泡在福尔马林中的尸体标本有异曲同工之妙。 No, is more direct-viewing, strange fearsome. 不,更加直观,诡异可怖。 The Dwarf wine merchant look sorrowful has one to recall, did not cover the nose voluntarily, „Roy, has deferred to your request now, moved from the cask Akon, how then do you prepare to do?” 矮人酒商眼神悲痛中带着一丝缅怀,又不自觉地捂了捂鼻子,“罗伊,现在已经按照你的要求,把阿肯从酒桶里挪了出来,接下来你准备怎么做？” „You, if thinks to transport in the evening secretly him, that is not perhaps good, hearing the revolutionary army must launch the second protest march when the new year, but two barons are staring outside doom hand/subordinate.” “你如果想晚上偷偷把他运出去,那恐怕不行,听说革命军要在新年之际发动第二场抗议游行,但还是有两个男爵手下正在外面死命地盯着。” „Mr. Sevier, or do I give you to perform a magic?” Roy arrives by the corpse, observed four limbs, has pulled the bottom of pants leg of corpse, saw in the right foot heel place cover hair that unusual tattoo —— one curls. “塞维尔先生,要不我给你表演个魔术？”罗伊走到尸体旁边,观察了一下四肢,扯过尸体的裤脚,在右脚后跟处看到了一个奇特的纹身——一圈卷起来的茂密毛发。 squirrel tail? 松鼠尾巴？ His knitting the brows head, looking pensive, but has not mentioned to Dwarf, but puts out a hand to touch toward the corpse on, Vernon · Ryan immediately without a trace. 他皱了皱眉头,若有所思,但没向矮人提起,而是伸手往尸体上一摸,弗农·瑞恩顿时无影无踪。 „This?” Dwarf opened the mouth, the chin soon fell the ground, „did the Roy little elder brother, how you accomplish? Difficult to be inadequate you except for the Witcher Apprentice status, is Sorcerer of hidden? Will display Transmission Magic?” “这？”矮人张大了嘴,下巴快要掉到地上,“罗伊小哥,你这是怎么办到的？难不成你除了猎魔人学徒的身份,还是个隐藏的术士？会施展传送魔法？” „Secret...... Sevier, please allow me to retain this secret......” Roy to say sincerely, “秘密……塞维尔阁下,请允许我保留这个秘密……”罗伊诚恳地说, „The secret that good, Dwarf respects the friend,” the Sevier apologetic say/way, „other, please accept my apology, I should not question you before. You have such skill, Baron that group of lackeys cannot think from the start.” “好吧,矮人尊重朋友的秘密,”塞维尔歉然道,“另外,请收下我的歉意,我之前不该质疑你。你有这样的本事,男爵那群狗腿子压根想不到。” „Then the reward and was the same other day?” “那么报酬还是和上回一样吗？” „Again how did I complete comission to say?” “等我完成委托再说如何？” „Does not have the issue.” Dwarf refreshed say/way, „, so long as you complete this matter, is my Sevier · Hoog brothers. I will not treat unjustly the brothers!” “没问题。”矮人爽快道,“只要你办成这件事,就是我塞维尔·霍格的兄弟。我绝不会亏待兄弟！” ...... …… To Cardale, these days experience really made her worry, first to solve to turn her several children's hateful Monster, her abdomen received heavy injury, has pained. 对卡戴尔而言,这几天的经历真是让她操透了心,先是为了解决拐走她几个孩子的可恨的怪物,她腹部受到不轻的伤势,一直隐隐作痛。 Then in the revolutionary army spreads the bad news, the second protest march organizes not smooth. Baron's blood and iron suppression, retreated in fear really many Will and faith insufficiently firm opportunist. 接着革命军里又传来坏消息,第二次抗议游行组织得非常不顺。男爵的铁血镇压,着实吓退了不少意志和信念不够坚定的投机分子。 So far, person who can organize, not over 50 people. Such person, steps onto the street parade, rather is plays the acrobatics. 目前为止,能组织起来的人,不超过五十人。这么点人,走上街头游行,不如说是去耍杂技。 „Oh......” Cardale sighed, if everyone were free from worry like that new student is good. Not only intelligent, and is courageous, skill is also good, did not instigate facing monster. “唉……”卡戴尔叹了口气,要是所有人都像那个新学生一样省心就好了。既聪明、又有胆量,身手也还不错,面对魔物丝毫不怂。 What a pity he is Witcher Apprentice, when how long must leave. 可惜他是猎魔人的学徒,待不了多久就要离开。 Read and this, Cardale interest is waning returned among the work...... 一念及此,卡戴尔意兴阑珊地回到了办公间…… May just open the door, immediately strong alcohol taste greets the nostrils to come, she is frowning, arrived at behind the desk following the wine taste. 可刚推开门,立刻有一股浓烈的酒精味儿扑鼻而来,她皱着眉头,顺着酒味来到了书桌后面。 Her pupil contracted a seam, in the look revealed the pinnacle panic-stricken. 紧接着,她的瞳孔收缩成了一条缝,眼神中露出极致的惊骇。 Under the desk presented a male corpse, that face of corpse, pale and swelling, is also very familiar. 办公桌下出现了一具男性尸体,尸体的那张脸,惨白、肿胀、又无比熟悉。 Cardale is instantaneously scared. 卡戴尔瞬间失魂落魄。 „Did great leader, my Teacher Spirit and Vernon, die?!” “伟大的首领,我的精神导师、弗农,死了？！” In downstairs courtyard, the Roy palm is stroking gently horn beam, gazes after principal Lady to enter the room, quick also the whole face grief and indignation takes a letter/believes to go out, long relaxes. 楼下的的院子里,罗伊手掌摩挲着身边的角树,目送校长女士进入房间,很快又满脸悲愤地拿着一封信出了门,长长地松了口气。 „I do not want to frighten you. But I only knew that your a backbone of revolutionary army...... can only be sorry. Regards is owes my board......” “我也不想吓唬你。但我只认识你一个革命军的骨干……只能抱歉了。就当成是欠我的那顿饭钱吧……” ...... …… „Cardale's the principal of family/home, is the high level of revolutionary army......” the Dwarf wine merchant listened to the report of Roy, nods satisfied, „my informer had discovered that the school has exceptionally, had suspected her, but had not found the solid evidence. In brief, Roy, this matter you manage is very attractive, the lackey of Baron had not detected completely, my dear brothers Akon, is the place that returned to him to harbor intentions.” “卡戴尔之家的校长,原来是革命军的高层……”矮人酒商听完罗伊的汇报,满意地点点头,“我的眼线早就发现那所学校有异常,也曾经怀疑过她,不过没找到确凿的证据。总而言之,罗伊,这件事情你办的很漂亮,男爵的狗腿子完全没有丝毫察觉,我亲爱的兄弟阿肯,也算是回到了他心心念念的地方。” Dwarf puts out a hand toward Roy, said seriously, 矮人朝罗伊伸出了手,郑重地说, „I do what has said that once made the promise, solves this troublesome person is my brothers...... among the brothers is polite. Roy...... said that what do you want? Money, liquor and weapon? Although said......” “鄙人言出必行,曾经许下诺言,解决这个麻烦的人就是鄙人的兄弟……兄弟之间无须客气。罗伊……说说吧,你想要点什么？钱、酒、武器？尽管说……” Dwarf has looked, he will receive comission at this kind of time, has to ask surely. 矮人早就看出来,他会在这种时候接下委托,必定另有所求。 „What busy needs me to help? So long as in my area of competence , helping your helping hand surely.” “还是需要鄙人帮点什么忙？只要在我能力范围内,必定助你一臂之力。” Roy has not thought, just came Aldersberg comission that helpless puts aside, will play the role at this kind of time, but he has not in fact taken the too big effort, was only equivalent delivered „express”. 罗伊没想到,刚来艾德斯博格无奈搁置的一个委托,会在这种时候起到作用,但实际上他并没费太大的力气,只相当于送了一趟“快递”。 „Mr. Sevier......” “塞维尔先生……” „No, Roy, later called my name directly, otherwise you look down upon my brothers!” “别,罗伊,以后就直接叫我的名字,不然你就是瞧不起我这个兄弟！” „Eh...... Sevier,” Roy corrects the name immediately, how although he is unable to imagine itself and 70-year-old Dwarf is on intimate terms, but in the opposite party words should be the polite ingredient are more. “额……塞维尔,”罗伊立刻纠正了称呼,虽然他无法想象自己怎么和一个70岁的矮人称兄道弟,但对方话里应该是客气的成分更多。 „Do you have getting to know each other well Sorcerer? Lives near Aldersberg, best is Sorceress that Aretuza Academy graduates.” “你有相熟的术士吗？住在艾德斯博格附近,最好是艾瑞图萨学院毕业的女术士。” Dwarf hears Yanlv the beard was pondering the moment, 矮人闻言捋着胡须思考了片刻, „Sorry, Roy, as far as I know, does not have any Caster lives near Aldersberg, that side fort has Sorceress of black hair actually, but to too far.” “抱歉,罗伊,据我所知,没有任何一个施法者住在艾德斯博格附近,范格堡那边倒是有个黑头发的女术士,但离得太远了。” „Why do you want to look for Sorceress?” Dwarf said that „you, if believes me, might as well say the matter whole story, perhaps has other method to solve the problem. In this city, is not I boasted, I also calculate a little energy.” “不过你为什么要找女术士了？”矮人说,“你如果相信我,不如把事情原委说出来,也许有别的方法解决问题。在这座城市,不是我吹嘘,我还算有点能量。” Roy thinks, feels and may all. Then outside mill the matter of the city said. 罗伊想了想,觉得并无不可。便把城外磨坊的托娅的事说了出来。 The Dwarf hear the complexion becomes very strange, sizes up the look of opposite party as if to size up the rare animals, words that „Roy, I have not remembered incorrectly, you are Witcher Apprentice, later will also become Witcher. Why can help an ugly girl in countryside? The using energy mental effort delivers her to Aretuza. They after several years training, not necessarily still remembers you.” 矮人听完脸色变得很奇怪,打量对方的眼神仿佛在打量珍稀动物,“罗伊,我没记错的话,你是个猎魔人学徒,以后也将成为猎魔人。为什么要帮助一个乡下的丑丫头？费劲心力送她到艾瑞图萨。她们经过数年的训练后,不一定还记得你。” „Because you do feel sorry for her?” “就因为你可怜她？” „Sevier, you did not think that Witcher and Sorcerer had some similarity...... the pitiful childhood and life be forced and not choose the life the opportunity......” Roy to say the innermost thoughts, „I felt, she should have an opportunity of choice.” “塞维尔,你不觉得吗,猎魔人和术士有某种相似之处……悲惨的童年、生活迫于无奈、没有选择人生的机会……”罗伊说出了心里话,“我觉得,她应该有一个选择的机会。” „I also hope, later some day, when I was in that embarrassed situation, can some people to me an opportunity......” “我也希望,以后某天,当我到了那种窘迫的地步,能有人给我一个机会……” The Dwarf hear the look changes countenance slightly, suddenly thought that the face of front this human youngster is inferior to Dwarf to be handsome, but also very pleasing to the eyes, said with a smile frank, 矮人听完神色微微动容,突然觉得面前这张人类少年的脸不如矮人英俊,但也挺顺眼,爽朗地笑道, „Roy, you are really an interesting person, Witcher that I know 99% will not manage this others 's business......, but you meddled.” “罗伊,你真是一个有意思的人,我认识的猎魔人90%九都不会管这种闲事……但你偏偏就插手了。” „Flushed you a moment ago those words, I helped you. I will send a carriage and Dwarf guard escort that child to go to Thanedd Island, like you said that gives her a choice life the opportunity! As for can enter Aretuza, must depend on her own skill and luck.” “就冲你刚才那句话,我帮你。我会派一架马车和矮人守卫护送那个孩子到仙尼德岛去,就像你说的,给她一个选择人生的机会！至于能不能进入艾瑞图萨,就得凭她自己的本事和运气。” „But must...... Dwarf stand on tiptoes several days later” with effort the tip of the toe, a shoulder that held in the arms Roy, „little brother, will draw near in the new year, does the horse cart driver have the right of new year's celebration?” “但得再过几天……”矮人费力地踮起脚尖,一把搂住了罗伊的肩膀,“小兄弟,新年快到了,马车夫也有过个好年的权利吧？” „Hope revolutionary army that group of people can be quiet, receives the body of leader bewilderedly, does not know that they can do other what big sound.” “希望革命军那群人能消停消停,莫名其妙收到首领的尸体,也不知道他们会不会搞出别的什么大动静。” „Actually except for the corpse, I gave back to Cardale Lady to keep a letter/believes.” Roy said, „the threat letter/believes that helps the tone that writes by the sparrow, did not expect that Cardale will be cheated, but at least can shift the attention, making the revolutionary army no longer demonstrate to the Baron blindly, so as to avoid by person of use harboring ulterior motives.” “其实除了尸体,我还给卡戴尔女士留了一封信。”罗伊说,“以麻雀帮的口吻写的威胁信,不期望卡戴尔会被蒙骗,但至少能转移一下注意力,让革命军不再盲目地向男爵示威,免得被别有用心之人利用。”
