Another side, WitcherleadsKelvinto go topresentnationSolto investigate.
另一边,猎魔人带着开尔文前往斯邦索尔调查。Cold windcoldpiercing of Northern Realms, the presentnationSol'svillage headstandsin the villageis blowntrembles.北境的寒风冷的刺骨,斯邦索尔的村长站在村口被吹得瑟瑟发抖。Whenwhite hairDwarfenters the line of sight, hewas close to45degreescamel the lower backimmediately, the whole facesmiledpleating, likegreeting the watchdog of master.
当白发矮人进入视线,他立马将腰背接近四十五度的驼了下去,满脸笑起了褶子,如同迎接主人的家犬。„SirKelvin, welcomes topresentnationSol, ourvillagewas really exceedingly honoredup and down.”
“开尔文大人,欢迎光临斯邦索尔,我们全村上下实在不胜荣幸。”At the same timesaying, himis proceedingto direct, leadingtwo peopleto enterin the village. When Kelvin who whenleadspassed by the side, hegrasps the opposite partyto be covered with the hand of blackwoolfatextremelywarmly, the lattermoistenedat willwithhim, the handrapidretractingback.
一边说着,他往前一引,带着两人进入村中。当领头的开尔文路过身边时,他极为热情地一把握住对方长满黑毛肉呼呼的手,后者随意与他沾了一下,手迅速缩回后背。ThenWitchersawDwarfto shut outextremelyscratchedscratchingon the clothes.
然后猎魔人看见矮人极为嫌弃地在衣服上擦了擦。Cassillyridiculedone, the tonestillfilledflattering, as well as an anxiety,
卡西利讪笑一声,语气依然充满了讨好,以及一丝紧张,„Sir, your timecomesistransmits the goodnews? Was the murderer in mountainheld?”
“大人,您这次前来是来传达好消息的吗?山里的凶手是不是被抓住了?”„Are youquestioningourabilities?”
“你是在质疑我们的能力?”Kelvinis supine the chin, staredhisoneeyeswickedly. The heightonlyarrives at the chest of village headobviously, insteadhisfacial expressionstanceseems the giant who keeps aloof, fillsto disdain.
开尔文仰起下巴,恶狠狠的瞪了他一眼。明明身高只到村长的胸口,反而他的神情姿态好似高高在上的巨人,充满不屑。„Idle talklittlesaid,thisMaster WitcherLetho that is the carbonmountaininvites, hissomewordsmustaskyou, givesmeto replyhonestly!”
“废话少说,这位是碳山请来的猎魔人大师雷索,他有些话要问你,给我老老实实地回答!”„When............ wecomplete certainlyyourtaskabsolutelymeticulously!”
“当……当然……我们绝对一丝不苟地完成您的任务!”Cassillyhas turned away, sawgoes out ofWitcher that from the Dwarfteam, immediately the lookbecomesstrange, herecognizedthisbrutallyto rejecthiscomissionfreakinitially.
卡西利转过脸,看到了从矮人队伍中走出的猎魔人,顿时眼神变得古怪,他认得这个当初无情拒绝他委托的怪胎。Initiallythismanthatunfeeling, did not spare a glancetohisentreaty. Now, Cassillycorners of the mouthexpose to the sun, in the eyehidesflashes through a self-satisfaction.
当初这男人是那么的冷酷无情,对他的哀求不屑一顾。如今,卡西利嘴角一晒,眼中隐蔽至极地闪过一丝得意。As ifwas saying,initiallydid not rejectus, nowalsoisn't the little darlingreceivesthiscomissionobedient?
仿佛在说,当初不是拒绝了我们,如今还不是乖乖听话接下这个委托?Witcher, but also is a Dwarfdog......猎魔人,不过也是矮人的一条狗啊……Hisbackstraightened up a pointslightly, as iffeltoneselfare nobler than the Witcherstatus.
他的背微微了挺直了一点,似乎觉得自己比猎魔人身份更加高贵。Dwarfdespises the villagers, the villagersdespisesWitcher, DwarfrespectsWitcherin turn, is really the strangecirculation.矮人鄙视村民,村民鄙视猎魔人,矮人又反过来尊敬猎魔人,真是奇怪的循环。Lethothinks little, saidlightly,雷索不以为意,淡淡地说,„Villagernowathome?”
“村里人现在都在家吗?”Cassillyhearswordasked for instructionslooked atDwarfonegenerally, butDwarfnodstohim.
卡西利闻言请示一般看了矮人一眼,而矮人冲他点了点头。„To...... onthatseveralbrothersexcept forore, everyoneis treatingat home, because of the fearmonsterghost, is not right, is afraidthatdirtything, does not dareto run around.”
“对……除了矿上的那几个兄弟,大家都在家里待着,因为害怕妖鬼,不对,害怕那个脏东西,不敢到处乱跑。”„Nowyouare accompanyingKelvin, Istroll...... to have the matterto look foryoueverywhereagain.”Witchersweptin a village the house of black and white work, startsaround the roomoutside, the women and childrenandold man in pass throughwindowobservationroom.
“现在你去陪着开尔文,我到处逛逛……有事再找你。”猎魔人扫了一圈村子里木石结构的屋舍,开始绕着屋外,透过窗户观察屋内的妇女儿童和老人。
......
……RoyandvariousWitchercompletelyitsresponsibility, day of elapsequietly.罗伊和猎魔人各尽其责,一天的时间悄然逝去。Late at night, inbedroom.
深夜,寝室之中。Two peoplestartto inventory the harvest.
两人又开始盘点收获。„Do youhave the discoveryinpresentnationSol?”
“你在斯邦索尔有发现吗?”„Has inspected, markparasiticis not in the village.”OnWitcherfacenot the color of accident/surprise.
“都检查过了,印记寄生者不在村子里。”猎魔人脸上毫无意外之色。„Hasn't left out the villagers who on the oreworks?”
“没漏掉矿上工作的村民?”„IfCassillyhas not lied, thenIseeallvillagerstoday, no oneandLeshyhas the relation.”
“如果卡西利没说谎,那么我今天见到了所有村民,没人和鹿首精产生联系。”„In addition, todayIandKelvindestroyed the secondtotem,”at this point, Witcheris stroking gently the chin, the expressionsurprise, „thisLeshyhas not even sent out the wild animalto disturb, ignoresmyact of sabotage. Thisdoes not gather the common sense, according to the estimate, itshouldintensify the counter-attackeffort.”
“此外,今天我和开尔文摧毁了第二座图腾,”说到此处,猎魔人摩挲着下巴,表情诧异,“这次鹿首精甚至没派出野兽干扰,放任我的破坏行为。这不合常理,按照预计,它本该加大反击力度。”„In any eventthisis a goodnews. Leshyweakens a point, on our odds of successmanypoint.” The youngsterremember the daytimematter, looks the happy expression, „todayI have the discovery......”
“无论如何这是个好消息。鹿首精削弱一分,咱们的胜算就多上一分。”少年想起白天的事情,面露笑意,“今天我也有发现……”„? Mentionedlistens, did youfindlead of parasitic?” The Witcherlookmoves.
“哦?说来听听,你找到了寄生者的线索?”猎魔人神色一动。„No, thatslyfellowhidesvery muchdeeply, has not shown something that gives one away.”Roypaused, „Idiscoveredwith the place of caserelatedfishy. Iinquiredfrom a Dwarffriendmouth,in the fourdead of carbonmountain, twocame from the fifthmining area. But the guardingteam leader in fifthmining area, Kelvin·Hoog that assistsyouto investigate.”
“不,那个狡猾的家伙藏得很深,没露出一点马脚。”罗伊顿了顿,“我发现了与案子相关的蹊跷之处。我从一个矮人朋友嘴里打听到,碳山的四名死者里,有两位都来自第五矿区。而第五矿区的守卫队长,正是协助你调查的开尔文·霍格。”„Yoususpected that hehas ghost?”Witcherclosed the eyeto ponder the moment, shakes the head, „parasiticmarkwas not on him, let alonedestroyed the Leshytwototemto have, ifbelieveris unable to blaspheme the totemabsolutely. Howeversinceyoumentionedthis, Iwill inspect.”
“你怀疑他有鬼?”猎魔人闭上眼睛沉思了片刻,摇了摇头,“寄生印记不在他身上,何况摧毁鹿首精的两个图腾都有份儿,要是信徒绝对无法亵渎图腾。不过既然你提到了这点,我会去检查。”Roythensaid,„aboutyoumentionedyesterday, hiddenin the carbonmountain , helping the Leshysecondinfluence, Ihad a feature.”罗伊接着说道,“关于你昨天提到的,隐藏在碳山之中,帮助鹿首精的第二股势力,我有了一点眉目。”„Boy, youact are very but actually quick.”In the Witcheramber brownpupilflashes throughis astonished, „news that whosepulls outfrommouth?”
“小鬼,你动作倒挺快。”猎魔人琥珀色的眸子里闪过讶异,“从谁嘴里掏出的消息?”„Ourfirstday of thatfourdrunkards who do mountMahakamto run intostillremembers? After the two dayscontact, Idiscovered that theyare not the plansdeepfellow, is trustworthy,”Royremembered the embarrassedtype that Dwarfgot drunk, the corners of the mouthbent, „good winewastheirsoft ribs, Elderhad also pledgedmyliquorwaterguaranteed all one wants to eat, Inaturallymustusegoodthis point.”
“咱们第一天登上玛哈坎遇到的那四个酒鬼还记得吗?经过这两天的接触,我发现他们都不是什么心机深沉的家伙,值得信任,”罗伊想起矮人喝醉的囧样,嘴角弯了弯,“美酒是他们的软肋,大长老又承诺过我酒水管饱,我当然要利用好这一点。”„MyAxiiSign, cannot onlyhavethiscrookedmove.”
“我不会亚克席法印,只能出这种歪招。”„After theyget drunk, did not say inadvertentlyto mentioncarefullyScoia'tael......”hisvoicesank, „Letho, did youunderstandthisorganization?”
“他们喝醉之后,不小心说漏嘴提到了松鼠党……”他的声音沉了下去,“雷索,你了解这个组织吗?”
The Witchersparseeyebrowmoves, „ mywholetimetreatin the south, have not heardthisorganization. Just shortly after established? „猎魔人稀疏的眉毛动了动,“我大部分时间都待在南方,从没听说过这个组织。刚建立不久?“„Setup timeis not long.”Roythinks,answered, „in brief, Scoia'taelwas an organization of extremehatredhuman, the membermostlywasElf and Elfhybrid. Theywin overotherOld Racesas far as possible, for exampleDwarf, HalflingandGnome, so long asis hostile towardhumanto be ableforitsto use. At presentmainlyappears and disappearsinValley of Flowersas well asotherOld Racesagglomeration.”
“建立时间不长。”罗伊想了想,解释道,“简而言之,松鼠党是一个极端痛恨人类的组织,成员大多是精灵以及精灵混血。他们尽可能地拉拢别的古老种族,比如矮人、半身人、地精,只要仇视人类就能为其所用。目前主要出没于百花谷以及别的古老种族聚集地。”„Illuminatesyourview, the carbonmountainis livinginnumerableDwarf, is the potentialwinning overobject,”Witcherhesitates saying that „the Scoia'taelbigprobabilitywill stare atthem......”
“照你的说法,碳山生活着无数矮人,都是潜在的拉拢对象,”猎魔人沉吟道,“松鼠党大概率会盯上他们……”„Right. ButcarbonmountainElderBrouver·Hoogin the long-timerule, has been maintaining the neutrality, withhumanpeaceful coexistence.”Roysaid,„hedoes not allowScoia'taelthistype of extremist organizationto take rootto germinateinMahakam, relations between both, potentialwithwater and fire.”
“没错。而碳山大长老布罗瓦尔·霍格在长久的统治中,一直保持着中立,与人类和平共处。”罗伊说,“他决不允许松鼠党这种极端组织在玛哈坎生根发芽,两者之间的关系,势同水火。”
The youngsterrememberedAldersberg, when corpse——Vernon in thatcask·Ryan, inspected the corpseat that timehediscovered that the mousetailtattoo of opposite partyfootheel, thisrevolutionary armyleaderwithout doubtis the Scoia'taeldisciple.
少年想起了艾德斯博格,那具酒桶里的尸体——弗农·瑞恩,当时检查尸体时他就发现对方脚后跟的鼠尾纹身,这位革命军领袖无疑是个松鼠党徒。
Since the Aldersbergcity under Mahakammountainis hidingScoia'tael, nearby the carbonmountainalsohasmost likely.
既然玛哈坎山下的艾德斯博格城中藏着松鼠党,碳山附近十有八九也有。„Leshyattemptsto control the carbonmountain, similarlyis opposingwithElder.”Royin the eyes flickernone, „the enemy of enemywas the friend...... could also convince, Scoia'taelis assistingLeshysecretly, perhapsthisancientmonsterhad the energyto scheme the carbonmountain...... Scoia'taelto bringinMahakamLeshy.”
“鹿首精妄图掌控碳山,同样在与大长老作对。”罗伊眼中闪过精光,“敌人的敌人是朋友……也就说得通了,松鼠党在暗地里协助鹿首精,这头古老的魔物才有底气图谋碳山……没准正是松鼠党把鹿首精带到了玛哈坎之中。”Leshyis called the dense/woodsessence, in some sense, itis the protector of forest, thereforekills the human of destructionforestandenvironmentspecially.鹿首精又叫做森精,某种意义上来说,它是森林的守护者,所以专杀破坏森林和环境的人类。ButinElfalsohasto be intimate withnaturalunusualexistence, for examplefieldqueenDana·honey. Scoia'taelcanbytheirstrengths and Leshycooperation.
而精灵中同样有亲近自然的超凡存在,比如田野女王达娜·蜜德碧。松鼠党可以借由他们的力量与鹿首精交流合作。„Does not rule outthispossibility.”Witcherapprovedhisidea, „, butdoes not have the solidevidence, showed that Scoia'taelappears and disappearsinMahakam, andcolludeswithLeshy, youcannot convinceanybody.”
“不排除这种可能。”猎魔人认同了他的想法,“但没有确凿的证据,证明松鼠党出没于玛哈坎,并与鹿首精勾结,你说服不了任何人。”„Everythingmustcomplete the worst plan, shouldtellElderone,”Roypersists insaying, „, had/left the conditionby some chance, wealsocalculate that performed the responsibility of reminder.”
“凡事要做好最糟糕的打算,应该告诉大长老一声,”罗伊坚持道,“以后万一出了状况,咱们也算尽到了提醒的责任。”Witcherconsidered the moment,猎魔人考虑了片刻,„Thatdepends onyou saying that tomorrow morningwill be seen right in front of oneElderto reportreportthis matterbyyou. Iactedas scheduled, in order to avoid being seen the flaw.”
“那就依你所言,明早由你去面见大长老禀报此事。我按原计划行动,以免被人看出破绽。”
......
……Next morning.
次日早晨。Furnacehallmostdeep place, above the throne of black ironconstruction, ElderBrouver·Hoog of carbonmountainis stroking the frostcolorbeard, the dignifiedvisiongazes atfrontyoungster,
熔炉大厅最深处,黑铁浇筑的王座之上,碳山的大长老布罗瓦尔·霍格捋着霜色的胡须,威严的目光注视面前的少年,Inbigpalace, brilliantly illuminated, the guard was actually disbandedcleanly, onlytwo people.
偌大的宫殿之中,灯火辉煌,侍卫却被遣散得一干二净,只余两人。„Boy, actuallyyouScoia'tael where fromhears?” The Brouversoundrubslike the sand and crushed stone, the body that on the facerelaxesstirs, the tonefillsdisgruntledly, „did thatfourbeing over-fond of winesimple souldisclosetoyou? Iearlyto the entirecarbonmountainundersealcommand, but alsodaresto leak the secret, could not forgivethem!”
“小子,你究竟从什么地方听说的松鼠党?”布罗瓦尔声音有如砂石摩擦,脸上松弛的皮肉鼓荡,语气充满不悦,“那四个贪杯的糊涂虫透露给了你?我早对整个碳山下过封口令,还敢泄露机密,饶不了他们!”„No, Elder , there is nothing to dowiththem.” The youngsterhurryto sayclear,hedoes not wantto implicatefourDwarf, „in factIcome the carbonmountain, has heardScoia'tael, does not believeyouto ask that yournephewSevier, whenAldersberg, I have mentionedthisorganizationtohim.”
“不,大长老,与他们无关。”少年赶紧澄清道,他可不想连累四个矮人,“实际上我来碳山之前就听说过松鼠党,不信您可以问问您的外甥塞维尔,早在艾德斯博格之时,我就向他提到过这个组织。”RoyrepeatedonetofourDwarfexcuses.罗伊又重复了一遍对四个矮人的说辞。„Good, Ibelieveyouronechapter...... to send peopleto investigatefor the time beinglater,”Elderhesitates saying that „, butyourbeforehandopinion, the Scoia'taeldiscipleambushesnear the carbonmountainrathersays the incompatiblereality. A year ago, thatgroup of extremists, as well asfavoredtheirDwarfto be eliminatedMahakamentirely, until now, the people of patrol leaderas well ascarbonmountaindid not discoversign that againScoia'taelappeared and disappeared.”
“好,我就暂且信你一回……稍后再派人核查,”大长老沉吟道,“但你之前的言论,松鼠党徒潜伏在碳山附近未免言不符实。早在一年前,那群极端主义者、以及偏袒他们的矮人统统被清除出了玛哈坎,直至今日,巡逻队以及碳山的子民再没发现松鼠党出没的迹象。”„Otherwiseoneselfshouldknowearly.”Brouverwaves, whiteXudances in the breezeon the chest frontbright redsilk fabrics, „yourinference, worried the excessiveconjecture, do not raiseagain.”
“否则本人早该知晓。”布罗瓦尔一挥手,白须在胸前鲜红的绸缎上飘舞,“你的推断,也只是担忧过度的臆想,勿要再提。”„Since the murdererisLeshy, looksto massacreit, bringing the spoils of warto seeme, thisisyouandWitcheronlygoal.”
“既然凶手是鹿首精,就把它找出来杀掉,带着战利品来见我,这是你和猎魔人唯一的目标。”„Butyoucometo remindoneselfstemming from a good intention, cannot do withoutrewarding......” the Eldersoundbecomestemperate, „youcurrentlyhavewhatneed, althoughraises......”
“但你前来提醒本人是出于一片好心,不可不奖赏……”大长老声音变得温和,“你现在有什么需要,尽管提出来……”
The Royheldfinger, in the eyes flickerdoubts, actuallythisMahakam is Elderwhatintention? Sincedoes not believehisinference, makeshimput forward the request?罗伊捏了捏手指,眼中闪过一丝疑惑,这位玛哈坎的大长老究竟是何用意?既然不相信他的推断,又让他提要求?Heset the requestunrestrained/no trace of politeness, „respectableElder, Iwant the freeturnovercarbonmountain the right...... as well asseveralskillexquisiteguards, bestisyourtrustworthyold man.”
他毫不客气提出了要求,“尊敬的大长老,我想要自由进出碳山的权利……以及几个身手精湛的护卫,最好是您信得过的老人。”Ifcarbonwithin the mountainhasScoia'tael, hisinvestigationwill definitely enrage the opposite party, Lethoduring the daytimein the mountain forest of distant place, hemustseeks the bodyguardin addition.
若碳山之内藏有松鼠党,那他的调查肯定会激怒对方,雷索白天都在远处的山林之中,他须得另寻保镖。„Such asyouhope.”Eldercomplieshappily, „Itoldlater,inseveralrestricted areasexcept for the fortress, youcancome and go outotherplaceat will, includingeachmining area, as for the person who youwanted......”
“如你所愿。”大长老痛快地答应下来,“我待会儿吩咐下去,除了堡垒之中几处禁地,你可以随意出入别的地方,包括各个矿区,至于你要的人……”Eldersupports the chinto ponder over saying that „onthatfourbigfool. Iassign out the garrisonthemtemporarily, listening toyouto direct.”大长老撑着下巴思忖道,“就那四个大傻子。我暂时把他们调出守备队,听你指挥。”
The Roybreathobstructs, accompanieshimto investigatecertainrisk, his timedoes not wantto entrap the relationalgoodperson.罗伊呼吸一窒,陪他调查有一定的危险性,他这次不想坑害关系不错的人。„Canchange players, Elder?”
“能换人吗,大长老?”„Don't theylook forwardto accompanyyouto drink?”Brouvershakes the head the rejection saying that „regardsallthem!”
“他们不是巴不得陪着你喝酒?”布罗瓦尔摇头拒绝道,“就当成全他们!”
