present nation Sol, situated in Mahakam at the foot of the mountain, all residents adds is about 200 households, overwhelming majority young adults have not been engaged in agriculture related Profession, then joins in the mountain that Dwarf sets up the mine to be the worker. 斯邦索尔,位于玛哈坎山脚下,全体居民加起来不过两百户,绝大部分青壮年没有从事农耕相关的职业,转而加入矮人开办的山中矿场当工人。 For generations, so continued for more than 50 years. 世世代代,如此延续了五十多年。 Construction in village not in construction structure like general village, but is built by various types of rich minerals stone material, more solid artistic. 村中的建筑不像一般乡村里的土木结构,而是由各种丰富的矿产石料堆砌而成,更加结实美观。 Roy sits on the rug of village head family/home, drinks thick soup that one bowl of withered vegetables cooked, touches the smooth chin. 罗伊坐在村长家的地毯上,喝了一碗干瘪蔬菜炖的浓汤,摸了摸光滑的下巴。 „The Witcher business is too rather good, just left Aldersberg, but also without gasps for breath some people to walk in enough time.” “猎魔人的生意未免太好,刚离开艾德思博格,还没来得及喘口气就有人找上门。” „Had Master Cassilly, according to your view, three months in the village successively had four homicide cases?” “卡西利村长,按照你的说法,三个月来村子里已经连续发生了四起命案？” Compensates the distiller's grain nose man complexion that smiles to nod in the one side heavily, the young man who „three have not gotten married, died sometime. A recent dead Brady, several days ago was just discovered the corpse. He left behind two child and a widow, the later day can only give financial aid to earn a living by the village.” 在一旁赔笑的酒糟鼻男人面色沉重地点点头,“三个还没成婚的年轻小伙,死了有段时间。最近的一位死者布雷迪,几天前刚被发现尸体。他留下了两个孩子、一个寡妇,以后的日子只能靠村里接济过活。” He says with emotion, 他感慨道, „Since present nation Sol establishes, more than 20 years have not had so bad homicide incident. In the village was made flustered, everyone said is the monster ghost in mountain causes trouble, with trepidation, which sheave fears to one of us. Please two help us catch the murderer/culprit, reward anything is open to discuss.” “自从斯邦索尔成立至今,已经有二十多年没发生如此恶劣的杀人事件。村子里被弄得人心惶惶,大家都说是山里的妖鬼作祟,一个个提心吊胆的,就怕哪一天轮到自家人。请两位帮我们抓出真凶,报酬什么的都好商量。” Witcher beckons with the hand, „reward does not worry, first needs to understand the multi-information. Why entered in the village a moment ago is almost some elderly and infirm, the men goes?” 猎魔人摆了摆手,“报酬不着急,首先需要了解更多信息。刚才进村为什么村子里几乎都是些老弱妇孺,男人们去哪儿？” Cassilly referred to the sun of out of the window, „this time everyone still the mine in mountain works, from getting off work also to have four and five hours.” 卡西利指了指窗外的日头,“这个时间点大家还在山里的矿场干活儿,距离下班还有四、五个钟头。” „In village has such big matter, doesn't need to look after the own young married woman and child at home also has the thoughts to work?” “村里发生这么大的事情,不待在家照看自己的婆娘和孩子还有心思去干活？” Roy is surprised the different way, „men did not fear that the family member does have an accident?” 罗伊诧异道,“男人们不怕家人出事？” The village head touched the gigantic tip of the nose, helpless the forced smile said, „does not have the means. The situation that you said I in the Sirs with mountain have exchanged, they reduced the villagers every day operating time slightly, everyone can before the dim light of night arrives proficient. And, they pledged will catch the murderer.” 村长摸了摸硕大的鼻头,无奈苦笑道,“没办法。你说的情况我已经跟山里的大人们交流过,他们稍微减少了村民们每日工作时间,大家都可以在夜色降临前到家。并且,他们承诺了会抓到凶手。” „But after all is not the professional, three months passed by, the matter that arrest the murderer does not have a wee bit progress. Now looks like, monster causes trouble to depend on the Witcher solution.” “但毕竟不是专业人士,三个月过去了,抓捕凶手的事情还是没有一丁点进展。如今看来,魔物作祟必须靠猎魔人解决。” Was saying he anticipated everywhere, somewhat looks cautiously to Letho. 说着他满目期待,又有些小心翼翼地望向雷索。 „The Sirs in mountain?” “山里的大人们？” Roy is savoring these words, somewhat is quite novel. 罗伊品味着这句话,颇有些新奇。 As far as he know under the current social background, Dwarf, Elf and other Old Races compared in human in the absolute weak position, but in Mahakam, two's position seemed like counter-. 就他所知在当前的社会背景下,矮人、精灵等古老种族相比于人类处于绝对弱势的地位,但在玛哈坎,二者的地位貌似反了过来。 Human in the mine work of Dwarf, called Dwarf for the Sir. 人类在矮人的矿场工作,称呼矮人为大人。 He can feel when village head Cassilly mentioned Dwarf, that awe from the heart. 他能感觉村长卡西利提到矮人时,那股发自内心的敬畏。 „Mahakam Elder Brouver · is Hoog a tyrant?” “难道玛哈坎的大长老布罗瓦尔·霍格是个暴君？” Another side, the thread of conversation of Letho village head, is not then loathsome asks, „the present enters the subject, we need to know the general situations of these four deaths. For example cause of death......” 另一边,雷索接着村长的话头,毫不拖泥带水问道,“现在进入正题,我们需要了解这四起死亡事件的大致情况。比如死因……” Cassilly grief and indignation said, „takes present nation Master Sol, I rushed to the scene immediately, purity that their death shapes look, could not forget for a lifetime. The monster ghost is one flock of savage domestic animals!” 卡西利悲愤道,“作为斯邦索尔村长,我都在第一时间赶到了现场,把他们的死状看的一清二楚,一辈子都忘不掉。妖鬼就是一群凶残的畜生！” The men said the result of own observation, 男人把自己的观察的结果都说了出来, Witcher and Roy are lost in thought. 猎魔人和罗伊陷入了沉思。 „Dies in the mountain forest, uniform was cut open the tall branch toward the direction frame of land, corpse of abdomen and surface on to be gnawed to nip by the bird pecking food and wild animal......” “死于山林之中,清一色的被剖开腹部、面朝大地的方向架上高枝、尸体受鸟雀啄食、野兽啃咬……” Witcher lost a look to the own partner, Roy comprehended his meaning tacitly, said the own judgment, 猎魔人向自己的搭档丢了个眼神,罗伊默契地领会到他的意思,说出了自己的判断, „According to your view, I almost can determine that they did not say like the villagers mouth, dies of the monster ghost's hand!” “按照你的说法,我几乎可以确定他们绝不是像村民口中所说,死于妖鬼之手！” „I told you clearly, in the normal condition the monster ghost will not scurry about to offend somebody at will, they repugnant open mountain forest, liked and other gloomy narrow places occupying in the tomb. The situation that you described seem like...... some ancient sacrificial offering, many lead...... we need to inspect the body of dead personally.” “我明确告诉你,正常情况下妖鬼不会四处乱窜随意伤人,它们讨厌开阔的山林,更喜欢在墓穴等阴暗狭窄的地方盘踞。你描述的情况倒像是……某种古老的祭祀,更多的线索……我们需要亲自检查死者的尸体。” The Roy flashing eyes look to the village head, the latter gawked the moment to recover, 罗伊目光炯炯地看向村长,后者愣了片刻才回过神来, „Actually isn't...... that the monster ghost does is what thing?” His complexion is apologetic, „inspection corpse is not perhaps good. Because is afraid the young fellows to be infected by the monster ghost...... turns into the dirty thing, in the village burnt their corpses...... burnt......, although did that somewhat blasphemes the dead, but did not have the means that this was to living person.” “不是妖鬼做的……那究竟是什么东西？”他脸色歉然,“检查尸体恐怕不行。因为害怕小伙子们被妖鬼感染……变成脏东西,村里把他们的尸体烧……烧了……虽然这么做有些亵渎死者,但没办法,这是为了更多活着的人。” Roy is dumbfounded right now, feels like somewhat strangely. Separated the little while the complexion to say complex, 罗伊这下子哑口无言,隐隐觉得有些奇怪。隔了会儿才脸色复杂地说, „Who told you monster ghost to infect the person? This gadget is not the virus or the plague, how possibly to infect? You burnt down the corpse, the investigation is very difficult to continue.” “谁告诉你们妖鬼能感染人？这玩意儿又不是病毒或者瘟疫,怎么可能传染？你们把尸体都烧掉了,调查很难继续下去。” Cassilly was said the complexion to stagnate. 卡西利被说得脸色一滞。 „Who most starts is tells you is the monster ghost causes trouble?” “最开始是谁告诉你们一切都是妖鬼作祟？” „The Sirs in mountain.” “山里的大人们。” Roy looking pensive. 罗伊若有所思。 Letho patted clapped to stand up the body. 雷索拍了拍手站起了身体。 „The ordinary person does not understand monster, Boy you do not need to castigate. Like this, Master Cassilly, you lead us to stroll to the village, collects lead while convenient.” “普通人不了解魔物,小鬼你也不必苛责。这样吧,卡西利村长,您带着我们到村子里逛一逛,顺便收集线索。” „That this comission......” “那这个委托……” „Needs to further understand that decides again whether takes over.” “需要进一步了解再决定是否接手。” ...... …… When two people had/left the village head front door, outside the room countrywoman and child of frightened Rabbit one crowd of close attention turned away immediately likely generally, clumsily and pretends to bustle about startled. 当两人出了村长大门,屋外一群密切关注情况的村妇和孩子立马像受惊的兔子一般移开了视线,笨拙而惊慌地假装忙碌起来。 „This case is very troublesome, Letho, don't you dare to take over unexpectedly?” Roy noticed the Witcher serious attitude, obviously felt this comission was very perhaps thorny. “这案子很麻烦吗,雷索,居然连你也不敢接手？”罗伊注意到了猎魔人严肃的态度,明显感觉这个委托恐怕很棘手。 „Boy, I have not told you, do not meddle comission beyond area of competence, particularly your type just studied a wee bit fur on the fellow of general idea/careless.” The Witcher sinking sound emphasized that “小鬼,我不是告诉过你,不要插手能力范围之外的委托,尤其是你这种刚学了一丁点皮毛就大意的家伙。”猎魔人沉声强调道, „Actually first clarifies the opponent to be in which level, how otherwise, you possibly die does not know......” “先弄清楚对手究竟处于哪个层次,否则,你可能连自己怎么死的都不知道……” ...... …… Two people went to Brady home of latest death under village head's leadership, a woman who puts on, complexion to become flushed simply early in the entrance. 两人在村长的带领下来到了最新死亡的布雷迪家中,一名穿着朴素、面色涨红的妇女早早等在门口。 Witcher indicates the status after the woman, asked straightforwardly, 猎魔人向女人表明身份后,直截了当地问, „Recently this period of time your husband performance is whether normal, what strange performance has, or special injunction?” “最近这段时间你丈夫表现是否正常,有没有什么奇怪的表现,或者特别的嘱咐？” The female human eye including pondered the moment sadly, shakes the head simple-hearted. 女人眼含哀伤沉思了片刻,木讷地摇头。 „Your husband's personal connection in village how?” “那你的丈夫在村子里人缘如何？” „Brady reputation is always very good, whoever family/home has a matter he definitely to clash in front helps, moreover besides in the mine work, Brady is also good at going hunting, will hunt for the game to return to the village to give everyone each time to divide a point.” “布雷迪口碑一向很好,无论谁家出点事儿他肯定冲在前面帮忙,而且除了在矿山做工,布雷迪还擅长打猎,每次猎到野味回到村子里都会给大家分一分。” Village head Cassilly added that „this I can testify, her husband was good in the village personal connection. That three dying young fellow also somewhat disputed with certain villagers young and impetuous, but Brady temperament was temperate, never disputed, is fellow who everyone praised.” 村长卡西利补充道,“这点我可以作证,她丈夫在村子人缘不错。那三个死掉的小伙子年轻气盛与某些村民还有些争执,但布雷迪脾气温和,从不与人争执,是人人交口称赞的家伙。” The countrywomen hear this saying, as if remembered husband's advantage, immediately covers face and weeps, 村妇听到这话,似乎又想起了丈夫的好处,顿时掩面而泣, „...... Brady stayed in the mine had not gone home for half a month, has not thought that finally parted forever at the same time unexpectedly, I...... my body has not preserved to him!” “呜……布雷迪在矿场待了半个月没回家,没想到最后一面竟是永别,我……我连尸体都没给他保住！” The little fellow who in the weeping sound, in her behind gate runs out of two fat suddenly, the little fellow throws closely to grasp the thigh of woman, the small mouth one followed she to cry shrivelled. 哭声中,她身后的门里突然冲出两个肉呼呼的小家伙,小家伙扑过来紧紧抱住女人的大腿,小嘴一瘪跟着她哭了起来。 „Oh, pitiful Dina, Jim, this year were only five years old lost the father, how the later day also had......” “唉,可怜的蒂娜、吉姆,今年才五岁就失去了父亲,以后的日子还怎么过啊……” The village head cannot bear puts out a hand to stroke the boy gently hair, the latter raises the small face suddenly, the dirty hand scratched the tear stains, stares the fog misty eye to say toward Roy, „you...... you...... you will catch the murderer?” 村长忍不住伸手轻轻抚摸男孩的的头发,后者突然扬起小脸,脏兮兮的手擦了擦泪痕,瞪着雾蒙蒙的眼睛朝罗伊说道,“你……你们……你们会抓到凶手吗？” The simultaneous mother and daughter also concentrated on the vision. 同时的母女俩也将目光投注了过来。 Roy shot a look at Witcher, on the latter face cannot see any change, he can only deeply inspire to depress palpitation of heart, no longer looks at that small tabby cat same cheek. 罗伊瞥了一眼猎魔人,后者脸上看不出任何变化,他只能深吸一口气压下心头的悸动,不再去看那张小花猫一样的脸蛋。 „Village head, transfers the revolutions to other dead families/home again......” “村长,再到其他死者家转转吧……” „Don't villagers ten days in the mountain go home frequently for half a month?” “村民们在山里经常十天半个月不回家？” „Only then Brady so goes all out. He wants to contribute money, delivers Jim to the Aldersberg school.” “只有布雷迪才如此拼命。他想攒点钱,送吉姆到艾德思博格的学校去。” „This......” “这样啊……” Following visits nothing accident/surprise, the other three young dead interpersonal relationships are simple, even usually in some pieces of work with the villagers, must kill people cannot reach completely. 接下来的走访没有任何意外,剩余的三名年轻死者人际关系简单,即便与村民平日里有些小打小闹,要杀人也完全够不着。 Witcher has not even used Axii Sign. 猎魔人甚至没有动用亚克席法印。 The Roy also very strong feelings, the murderer should not be human. 罗伊也有一股很强烈的感觉,凶手应该不是人类。 „Then leads us to have a look to recent that crime scene.” “那么接下来带我们到最近的那起案发现场看看。”
