Thought that I can't lose?” “你是在侮辱我？”矮人弩手和他的三个兄弟围坐在少年身边的浴池里,一边用手搓着毛腿上的泥垢,一边质问道,“昨天拼酒量明明你赢了,为啥还回十字弩？觉得我输不起？” „Carbon recluse is willing to bet to concede!” “碳山人愿赌服输！” „Reagan Boss, since I won the competition, ‚bloodlines brothers’ are me.” Roy pulls a long face, keeps a serious look, was formally reasonable, „that I had the right to make a gift of what one has received as a gift it again to the person who was worth.” “里根老大,既然我赢了比赛,‘血脉兄弟’属于我。”罗伊绷着脸,表情严肃,正儿八经地讲道理,“那我有权利再把它转赠给一个更值得的人。” „Your does —— give to me?” The Dwarf carrot thick or thin finger is pointing at him, the mouth like blocked unable to speak, separated some little time, sighed, „young fellow, was actually not worthwhile, drank your liquor......” “你——送给我？”矮人胡萝卜粗细的手指指着他,嘴巴像被堵上了一样说不出话来,隔了好一会儿,才叹了口气,“好小子,其实犯不着的,喝了你的酒……” „When gives the friend! Elder orders in any case, you have followed over the following several days I.” “就当交给朋友！反正大长老下了命令,接下来几天你们会一直跟着我。” „Does that have the liquor to drink?” Tief licked the lip. “那还有酒喝吗？”迪夫舔了舔嘴唇。 „Has the opportunity to make you open wide the belly again!” “有机会再让你们敞开肚皮！” „Roy, starting today, we are the good brothers!” Dwarf clapped several palms of the hand toward him on excitedly, patting his corner of the eye is moist, skin is superficial. “罗伊,从今天开始,咱们就是好兄弟！”矮人激动地往他身上拍了几巴掌,拍得他眼角湿润、皮肤泛红。 „Ok, chatted the proper business, Elder sent you to assist me, to investigate carbon mountain murder case.” Roy lowers the sound, encircles a circle with several people, since the choice trusts them, something do not need to conceal. „I need you to help, thinks well, recently had from others sees strange tattoo?” “好了,谈谈正事,大长老派你们来协助我,也是为了调查碳山的凶杀案。”罗伊压低声音,和几人围成一个圈,既然选择信任他们,有的事情就不必隐瞒。“我需要你们帮忙,好好想想,最近有没有从别人身上见到一个古怪的纹身？” „What tattoo?” “什么纹身？” „Low voice.” “小声点。” The youngster will draw the good spider web and antler mark demonstration ahead of time give four Dwarf rapidly, the eye had swept from their faces. 少年将提前画好的蛛网和鹿角标记展示给了四个矮人,眼睛迅速从他们脸上扫过。 He discovered disappointedly, several are in average bewildered, is obviously strange to this symbol. 他失望地发现,几人均一脸茫然,显然对这个符号非常陌生。 „Roy, what does this design represent? Why can discover it?” Reagan said self-effacingly, „Elder thinks the beard and chest wool enough serve as contrast the man spirit, is not worthwhile traces these at sixes and sevens tattoos toward the body, therefore the carbon mountain always does not advocate the tattoo. As far as I know, tattoo is less than 1%. However leaves the compatriot who the carbon mountain leaves home to seek one's fortune to like these colorful designs.” “罗伊,这图案代表什么？为啥要找出它？”里根摇头晃脑地说,“大长老认为胡子和胸毛足够衬托男子汉气概,犯不着往身上描这些乱七八糟的纹身,所以碳山向来不提倡纹身。据我所知,纹身者不到百分之一。不过离开碳山外出谋生的同胞更喜欢这些花花绿绿的图案。” „Basic carbon mountain all masculine buttocks I look...... have not seen this tattoo in any case.” “基本碳山所有男性的屁股我都看过……反正没见过这个纹身。” Tief, Du Shangdong and Bernie are also unimpressive. 迪夫、杜鲁、伯尼同样毫无印象。 „After that helps me pay attention, ten million/countless security!” “那以后帮我留意,还有千万保密！” „You felt relieved that if I leak out, this whole life cannot drink the liquor!” “你就放心吧,要是我泄露出去,这辈子都喝不到酒！” „I am also!” “我也是！” „I!” “还有我！” When four Dwarf in vowing solemnly to take an oath, beard was gray, Dwarf that the muscle dragon tied entered the bathhouse, face up by near another bathing pool, whole face exhaustedly lift up water splash cleaning body. 四名矮人在信誓旦旦地赌咒发誓之时,一名胡须花白,肌肉虬结的矮人进了澡堂,仰面靠在另一头的浴池边,满脸疲惫地撩起水花地擦拭身体。 „The person of being on night duty will not take a bath in this time, who can be......” the Roy attention is attracted the past. “值夜班的人也不会在这个时间段洗澡,会是谁了……”罗伊的注意力被吸引了过去。 The old man face skin relaxes, the old age spot is obvious, bridge of the nose two sides laugh lines are very deep, the forehead also covers entirely the gully, the age is also equivalent to 50-60 years old old man in human. 老人面部皮肤松弛,老年斑明显,鼻梁两边的法令纹很深,额头同样布满沟壑,年纪在人类中也相当于一名五六十岁的老人。 The vision of youngster becomes profound. 少年的目光变得深邃。 Bahnson · Method Gurner? 150 years old, the condition, Attributes and Skill are very normal. 班森·法格纳？一百五十岁,状态、属性、技能都很正常。 „Is that old gentleman the worker on ore?” “那位老爷子是矿上的工人吗？” Dwarf looked following his line of sight, expression that Tief, Du Shangdong and Reagan racks brains to recall. 矮人们顺着他的视线看了过去,迪夫、杜鲁、里根一副绞尽脑汁回忆的表情。 But Bernie happily said slightly, „I stuttered, but...... the memory was good.

In four Dwarf that died difficultly inadequately has his family member?” “老头子为啥要哭？难不成死掉的四个矮人里有他的亲人？” The thread of conversation that Reagan received the stutter, „Uncle Bahnson the whole families lives well, some time ago he just hugged the grandson.” 里根接过结巴的话头,“班森大叔一家人都活得好好的,不久前他刚抱了孙子。” In the spoken language filled envying. 言语之中充满了羡慕。 „Oh...... young Gurner must abandon the material compared with me obviously, can actually find an admiring woman, lives two boys. Elder to commend their merit, personally for that two little fellow pure bodies.” “唉……小法格纳明明比我还要废材,却能够找到一名心仪的女人,生两个大胖小子。大长老为了表彰他们的功劳,亲手替那两个小家伙洁净身体。” The Dwarf race fertility is inferior human, can the birth next two heir, without doubt be the great contribution to race. 矮人种族生育能力远逊于人类,能够诞下两个子嗣,无疑是对种族的巨大贡献。 „Really is the greatest honor. This matter is just past a half year, how could not master Uncle Bahnson sadly to this situation, difficult to be inadequate child run into something unexpected?” “真是莫大的荣誉。这事刚过去半年,搞不懂班森大叔怎么会伤心到这种地步,难不成孩子发生意外？” Dwarf wonders to be wrinkled the face. 矮人纳闷地皱巴着脸。 But in the Roy actually heart moves. Stays at a selected place such several days in the bathhouse, sees a not that normal fellow finally. 而罗伊却心中一动。在澡堂蹲点这么几天,总算见到一个不那么正常的家伙。 This race instinct is mostly optimistic, can make them shed bitter tears, is not the common matter. 这个种族大多天性乐观,能让他们痛哭流涕的,就不是一般的事情。 He thought it is necessary to understand 12. 他觉得有必要了解一二。 „Bernie, looks that an elder is sad, don't you comfort?” “伯尼,看着一名长辈如此伤心,你也不去安慰一下？” Dwarf was said by the youngster gawked, touched the brain, as if thought that is this truth, is unable to refute. 矮人被少年说得愣了一下,摸了摸脑子,似乎觉得是这个道理,又无法反驳。 „Remember, at will.” “记住,随意一点。” „Always makes me...... do this type...... the strange matter?” The Bernie whole face does not prefer. “总让我……干这种……稀奇古怪的事？”伯尼满脸不情愿。 „Uncle Bahnson is visits you to grow up, as his younger generation, why not accompanied old man to speak several words?” “班森大叔是看着你们长大的吧,作为他的晚辈,陪老人说几句话有何不可？” „Good, calculates that you hold true.” “好吧,算你有理。” ...... …… Shortly, Roy from accompanying bath Bernie mouth, wrapped a news. 不久后,罗伊从陪澡的伯尼口中,套到了一个消息。 „Was old, when likes fondly remembers, recollection to be young the years.

Perhaps can fish the big fish.” “值得一试。”猎魔人放下了酒杯,微带赞赏,“你做的很好,不能放过任何异常痕迹。没准就能钓出大鱼。” Roy shrugs, „his mouth is very solid, my Dwarf friend is unable to draw out the truth, not to mention our bystanders. Therefore you need to resort to the special method......” 罗伊耸了耸肩,“不过他的嘴巴很严实,我矮人朋友无法套出真话,更别提我们这种外人。所以你需要动用特殊的手段……” „Thump...... thump......” “咚……咚……” The landing bell in Tavern sounded the midnight hour. 酒馆里的落地钟敲响了午夜的钟点。 Bahnson · Method Gurner crawled from the liquor table suddenly, scratches the saliva of clean corners of the mouth, shook the murky head, then had/left the Tavern front door. 班森·法格纳恍然间从酒桌上爬了起来,擦干净嘴角的口水,晃了晃昏沉沉的脑袋,便出了酒馆大门。 The carbon mountain night temperature is lower than the zero degree, the cold wind blew, sticks the liquor water on beard then by the freezing dregs, Bahnson's nose also red. 碳山夜里的温度低于零度,寒风一吹,粘在胡须上的酒水便被冻成了冰渣,班森的鼻子也红了起来。 However he was unsensible, is dragging the weary body like empty Puppet generally, is walking toward ladder to mountain wall cave dwelling. 然而他对此毫无感觉,如同空洞的傀儡一般拖着疲倦的身体,往着通往山壁窑洞的阶梯走去。 After he put on Tavern , the dim narrow alley, raised the head to look up to the horizon incompletely that a moon of scrap, the full moon day will soon arrive. 他穿到了酒馆后昏暗狭窄的小巷,抬起头仰望天边那残缺了一小块的月亮,满月的日子即将到来。 Bahnson could not bear deeply inspires, stares at moonlight pupil to shrink became a dot, near the lip beard also started to shiver slightly, as if saw what extremely terrifying matter, fell into the demon to be startled. 老班森忍不住深吸了口气,凝视着月光的瞳孔缩了成了一个圆点,唇边的胡须也开始微微地颤抖,似乎看到了什么极其恐怖的事情,陷入了魔怔。 Moon turned into the blood red, has the scream of human also to have the long and loud cry of terrifying not to linger loose. 月亮变成了血红色,有人类的尖叫还有恐怖的长啸萦绕不散。 „......” Bahnson felt that the shoulder sinks, his some delay take back the line of sight, actually saw presents a completely strange face at present. “啪……”班森感觉肩膀一沉,他有些呆滞地收回视线,却见眼前出现了一张完全陌生的面孔。 The strange man, under the smooth top of the head the face line is quite firm, getting down the angle of seizure, eye socket gets sucked into and tightens the pursing the lips corner/horn expression suddenly to be callous. 陌生的男人,光滑的头顶下面部线条极为刚硬,下颚角微突、眼眶深陷、紧抿嘴角表情冷酷。 After he palatial majestic body, can see to emit a section of sword hilt. 他巍峨雄壮的身体后还能看见冒出一截的剑柄。 „Is your excellency?” Bahnson was hard self-made to stagger backward one step. “阁下是？”班森难以自制地向后踉跄了一步。 The men had not replied, the mouth twists the mouth sidewise to reveal dense white tooth. 男人没有回答,嘴巴咧开露出一口森森白牙。 „Sorry!” The Dwarf ear receives these words, feeling heart one cool, however the condition of alcoholic intoxication makes his figure slow, makes any response without enough time. “抱歉！”矮人耳朵接收到这句话,就感觉心头一凉然而醉酒的状态让他身形迟钝,来不及做出任何反应。 At present presents an illusion, the Witcher separated five fingers, splits 1110 like the octopus tentacle generally, entangles one group, to hide him nowhere. 紧接着眼前出现了一片幻觉,猎魔人分开的五指,就像章鱼触手一般分裂成十百千条,将他缠成一团、无处躲藏。 „Many fingers are flying......” “好多手指在飞……” ...... …… The moonlight alley, Witcher is talking in whispers to pair of eyes soulless Dwarf. 月光小巷,猎魔人对着一名双眼无神的矮人窃窃私语。 „Bahnson · Method Gurner, you often a person cried in the bathhouse, goes to Tavern to buy wine. I know that this is because in your heart is hiding secret.” “班森·法格纳,你经常一个人在澡堂失声痛哭,去酒馆买醉。我知道这是由于你心中藏着的秘密。” „You hide very much deeply it, even has not told your family member.

He observes the commitment, can share any pain for you, but does not need to be worried that was divulged.” “现在,你眼前出现了一个最好的聆听者,他是个过客不会在碳山长留。他信守承诺,能为你分担任何痛苦,而不必担心被泄露。” „Told him...... to tell him the secret in your heart......” “把你心中的秘密告诉他……告诉他……” Does the voice is gradually low, stands turns very quiet in Witcher behind Roy, the look wink is staring at old Dwarf. 话音渐渐低落,站在猎魔人身后的罗伊屏住呼吸,眼神一眨不眨地盯着老矮人。 But old Dwarf looks fierce, the complexion becomes by the pain struggles, could see that the innermost feelings are quite contradictory, but he struggled the moment, rejects difficultly, „...... cannot say......” 而老矮人龇牙咧嘴,脸色由痛苦变得挣扎,看得出内心极为矛盾,但他挣扎了片刻,还是艰难地拒绝,“不……不能说……” Roy looks startled to accommodate, he has not thought that also some people can resist the Axii Sign might, this also determined indirectly old Dwarf sad rude is not because anything fondly remembers the friend who elapses. 罗伊面露惊容,他没想到还有人能抵抗亚克席之印的威力,这也间接确定老矮人的伤心失态绝不是因为什么怀念逝去的朋友。 „Bahnson · Method Gurner lived over 150 years old, is well-experienced, Will Attributes was over ordinary person one section to be 6 actually.” “班森·法格纳活了一百五十多岁,阅历深厚,意志属性倒是超过普通人一截达到了六。” Witcher sees him to revolt, the tone becomes temperate, „do some people threaten your personal safety?” 猎魔人见他在反抗,语气变得温和,“有人威胁你的人身安全？” The old Dwarf appearance raises the head fiercely, closely was quiet a corner/horn that stance as if to the tooth bite close completely. At this time, Roy went forward fiercely one step, 老矮人面目狰狞地扬起头,紧紧闭住嘴角那架势似乎要把牙齿全部咬碎。这时候,罗伊猛地上前一步, „Some people threaten you with your two grandsons' safety!” “是不是有人拿你两个孙子的安危威胁你！” These words fall, old Dwarf opened the eyelid to stare in a big way the eyes immediately, is looking at Roy panic-stricken. 这句话一落,老矮人顿时张开眼皮瞪大了双眼,惊恐地望着罗伊。 „Threatens his person, should be that traitor within.” “威胁他的人,应该就是那个内奸了吧。” Two people exchanged under a look heart to understand clearly, old Dwarf repelled regarding certain issues extremely, therefore the Axii Sign effect was barely satisfactory. 两人交换了一个眼神心下了然,老矮人对于某些问题极为排斥,因此亚克席之印效果差强人意。 His not direct reaction, but two people can judge the answer from him to the response of issue. 他不会直接回答,但两人能够从他对问题的反应判断出答案。 Witcher hints Roy to continue to ask, 猎魔人示意罗伊继续发问, „Did you dash somebody's secret in the fifth mining area accidentally?” “你是在第五矿区无意中撞破了某人的秘密？” „Does the fellow force you to serve for him with your family member?” “那家伙用你的家人胁迫你为他服务？” „Is he serving for the slayer?” “他在为杀人者服务？” „Did the two dead of fifth mining area ore die under his arrangement?” “第五矿区矿的两名死者是在他安排下死亡？” „Tomorrow evening does the party of moon/month circle present the new dead? Outside the fifth mining area?” “明晚月圆之夜会出现新的死者？在第五矿区外？” ...... …… With issues conducts, two people breath become heavy, when asked that last, Witcher snapped fingers, dismisses Sign, carries Roy to leave rapidly. 随着一个个问题的进行,两人的呼吸变得沉重起来,当问完最后一句,猎魔人打了个响指、解散法印,携着罗伊迅速离开。 Roughly after a half minute, old Dwarf awakes the god to come, to grasp the body blurry to look around panic-stricken, oneself forgot probably what matter but can't think? 约莫半分钟后,老矮人迷糊地醒过神来,抱住身体惊恐地四下张望,自己好像忘掉了什么事但又怎么也想不起来？ „Really was sheer nonsense......” “真是活见鬼了……” „Holy Mountain Mahakam, please grant Bahnson benevolence, let me and family member passed this period of time safely......” “圣山玛哈坎,请赐予老班森一丝仁慈,让我和家人安全度过这段时间……”
