„Why this boy must go to the imperial palace, should not discover our stealth activity?” Serrit looked at the back that Roy is going far away saying that „after entering the palace, disclosed to Calanthe that old whore......” “这小子为什么非要去皇宫,该不会发现了咱们的秘密行动？”瑟瑞特望着罗伊远去的背影说,“进宫后透露给卡兰瑟那个老婊子……” „Serrit, the innermost feelings so should not be always gloomy,” Auckes interrupted brothers' speculation unrestrained/no trace of politeness, „is because this being overly suspicious and fearful strange temperament, the woman keeps at a respectful distance to you. Let alone before he comes Cintra, our actions have terminated.” “瑟瑞特,内心不要老是这么阴暗,”奥克斯毫不客气打断了兄弟的猜测,“就是因为这副疑神疑鬼的怪脾气,女人才对你敬而远之。何况他来辛特拉前,咱们的行动已经终止。” „In brief Roy was a person on one's own side, gave him a trust!” “总之罗伊是自己人了,多给他一点信任！” „Do not quarrel.” Letho lowered the sound saying that „, if your beforehand actions exposed weaknesses, should come to encircle by soldier early. Rather than sends people to seek for this Boy.” “都别吵了。”雷索压低声音说,“若是你们之前的行动露出破绽,早该被士兵上门围剿。而非派人寻找这个小鬼。” „Specific reason, I guess that is what comission...... Noble and Royal Family, has keen eyesight in withstand/top the show off fellow, likes Boy this appearance.” “具体原因,我猜是什么委托……贵族、皇室,眼高于顶又臭美的家伙,就喜欢小鬼这种长相。” „Then discussed that a more urgent matter,” the Letho vision shifted to the room, there, the emaciated girl still lay down on the sofa motionless. „This child perhaps is the Wild Hunt goal, naturally has this possibility, how should we process her?” “接下来讨论更紧迫的事情,”雷索的目光转向了屋内,那里,瘦弱的女孩仍然躺在沙发上一动不动。“这孩子也许是狂猎的目标,当然只是有这种可能性,咱们该怎么处理她？” „Was inferior that ——” the Serrit vertical stroke holds to become blade, made hand signal that downward wipes the throat, „, even if the possibility, cannot make Wild Hunt obtain her!” “不如——”瑟瑞特竖掌成刀,向下做了个抹喉的手势,“哪怕就是可能性,也决不能让狂猎得到她！” „I said that you sufficed,” Auckes both hands fork waist stared the circle the eye, „shouted to a pitiful little miss hits to shout "kill", did you also really work as are variant Killer and no human nature?!” “我说你够了啊,”奥克斯双手叉腰瞪圆了眼睛,“对一个可怜的小姑娘喊打喊杀,你还真当自己是变种杀手、毫无人性？！” „You give to offer advice actually!” “那你倒是给出个主意！” „Delivers to Aretuza to go, gives the Sorceress guidance her!” Auckes speaks plausibly, „Academy of Magic does not compare the deterioration Gorthur Gvaed. Wild Hunt must dare to intrude on Aretuza, it is estimated that could not step into the Academy half step, will be rumbled with full Magic by that crowd of fully-armed Sorceress the residual.” “送到艾瑞图萨去,把她交给女术士教导！”奥克斯振振有词,“魔法学院不比衰败的格斯维德。狂猎要敢进犯艾瑞图萨,估计踏入不了学院半步,就会被那群全副武装的女术士用铺天盖地的魔法轰成残渣。” „Great idea!” Serrit at present one bright, „such doing lets their dog-eat-dog mouth wool. We wait to watch the good play in side on the line.” “好主意！”瑟瑞特眼前一亮,“这么做让他们狗咬狗一嘴毛。咱们在旁边等着看好戏就行。” „Un, but first we must seek information her opinion......” Letho vision like a torch shift to the sofa that form, her shoulder is vibrating by extremely slight curve. „Silma, I know that you had awaked......” “嗯,不过首先我们得征询她本人的意见……”雷索目光如炬地转向沙发上那道身影,她的肩头正以极其轻微的弧度在抖动。“西尔玛,我知道你已经醒了……” Three Witcher wild animals duo duo approach toward the girl, she felt that terrifying aura of heading on, the breath becomes rapid, the body even more rolls up, in the closed double pupils the thick eyelash also starts to shiver. 三名猎魔人野兽般朝着女孩咄咄逼近,她感觉到扑面而来的恐怖气息,呼吸变得急促,身体越发蜷缩,紧闭的双眸间浓密的眼睫毛也开始颤抖。 „Do not be afraid, before we will not injure you......” Letho arrive at her body, stopped the footsteps, „ you still remember before , what have experienced? „ “别害怕,我们不会伤害你……”雷索走到她身前停住了脚步,“你还记得之前自己经历过什么吗？“ „I guess that this is not the first time, actually how many —— one crowd of person unbridled perhaps yourself record are not clear to despise your family background, insulted your appearance, how long beat your body...... the life of this painful suffering you to cross?” “我猜这已经不是第一次,也许你自己都记不清楚究竟有多少次——一群人肆无忌惮地鄙视你的出身,辱骂你的外貌,殴打你身体……这种痛苦煎熬的生活你过了多久？” The girl turned very quiet suddenly. 女孩突然屏住了呼吸。 Witcher said with the tone that one type misled extremely richly, „, if the opportunity, making you change external appearances only, turned into white swan to make the beautiful appearance that from the ugly duckling one envied, grasped the penalty, to retaliate the strength of that group of despicable people, did you want?” 猎魔人用一种极富蛊惑的口吻说,“如果有一个机会,让你改头换面,从丑小鸭变成白天鹅拥有令人嫉妒的美貌,掌握惩罚、报复那群卑劣之人的力量,你愿意吗？” „You are Specter, can take away my soul?” “你们是魔鬼吗,要收走我的灵魂？” Hill opened the eye quietly, in pupil has a fear, hope that as well as deeply hid, 希尔悄然睁开了眼睛,瞳孔中带着一丝恐惧,以及深深潜藏的渴望, „What I...... do I need to pay?” “我……我需要付出什么？” ...... …… The clear and boundless sky, the dazzling sunlight covers a golden coat for broad Fort. 晴空万里,耀眼的阳光为恢弘的城堡镀上一层金色的外衣。 Roy stands before the Cintra imperial palace main entrance took a deep breath, under returns to normal the mood of moving restlessly, subsequently before the gate grasps soldier of long halberd to walk. 罗伊站在辛特拉皇宫正门前深吸了一口气,平复下躁动的心情,继而朝着门前手持长戟的士兵走去。 „Are you fellow who Empress summoned?” soldier the slit of vision pass through helmet, took a look at him from beginning to end, the line of sight passed over gently and swiftly slightly reveals the naivete face, dark gold pupil, tall and straight figure. “你就是皇后召见的家伙？”士兵的目光透过头盔的缝隙,把他从头到尾打量了一遍,视线掠过略显稚气的面庞,暗金的瞳孔,挺拔的身形。 „Roy, Viper School Witcher, young excessive...... did not say that you carry the sword, your weapon?” “罗伊,蝮蛇学派猎魔人,年轻的过分啊……不是说你们都背剑吗,你的武器了？” „Enters the palace can also carry weapon?” “进宫还能携带武器？” Guarded searched him carefully, confirmed that has not harbored the dangerous goods, then made four soldier accompany him to continue to go forward. 守卫又将他细细地搜查了一遍,确认没有私藏危险物品,便让四名士兵陪着他继续前进。 Fort big all trades entire 20 are high late, is shoved open by two soldier with effort, after the gate, is the Fort hall, is much more spacious. 城堡大门门整整二十迟高,由两名士兵费力推开,门后是城堡的大厅,宽敞得吓人。 The corridor center spreads a magnificent and expensive red carpet, Witcher is following soldier to step on the step vanguard of slow deceased person. 走廊中央铺着一袭华贵的红地毯,猎魔人跟随士兵踩着慢死人的步调前行。 Is hanging precious the oil paintings as well as deer, tiger, alligator and other wild animal specimens on his both sides grey wall surface, close to the wall surface position, is placing giant vases and armor locations. Soon goes against window of ceiling on, is describing the tinted elegantly simple and solemn decorative design in a utensil. 在他两侧灰色的墙面上悬挂着一幅幅名贵的油画以及鹿、老虎、鳄鱼等野兽标本,靠近墙面的位置,摆放着一具具巨大的花瓶和盔甲展位。快要顶到天花板的窗户上,描绘着浅色的淡雅而端庄的纹饰。 Naturally the gate, leaves of wooden doors on wall surface, where have not known, many to making person scalp tingles. Often has the end the servants and some dressy Noble of precious household utensils passes in and out from the gate. 当然还有门,墙面上的一扇扇木门,不知通向何方,多到令人头皮发麻。不时有端着名贵器皿的仆人和一些衣着考究的贵族从门里进进出出。 Entire Fort like labyrinth, if not acquaintance very easy getting lost. 整座城堡就像迷宫一样,若非熟人的话很容易迷路。 soldier that Roy follows to show the way, the corner turns somewhat agitated, how long after does not know, suddenly sees the light after a door rearward vision, is actually by slightly house arrest Fort, entered the Fort central open-air garden. 罗伊跟着领路的士兵,拐弯拐得得有些烦躁,不知多久后,经过一扇门后视野豁然开朗,却是由微微幽闭的城堡内部,进入了城堡中央的露天花园。 „Several whether to inform Your Highness Empress to summon me actually to do?” “几位能否告知皇后殿下召我究竟有何贵干？” soldier has not replied his words, even has not transferred, the facial expression is grave and serious, Roy sees that has not cared. 士兵没有回答他的话,甚至头也没有转一下,神情庄重而严肃,罗伊见状也没放在心上。 He follows soldier to work as the garden central open area. 他跟着士兵来当花园中央一块空地。 Under flowering shrubs crowding around that in brilliant purple and red, is in full bloom, a waist, kept the handlebar that two are casting aside handles carefully, to comb the middle-aged man of head of tender to welcome with the slender thorn sword. 在姹紫嫣红、盛开的花丛簇拥下,一位腰配纤长刺剑、留着两撇精心打理的八字胡、梳着油头的中年男人迎了过来。 „Witcher, may let me, as soon as is on good terms. I am Cintra Royal Palace Royal Swordman Henrik, presents the life of Empress Calanthe to conduct swordsmanship to compare notes with you.” “猎魔人,可让鄙人一通好等。吾乃辛特兰皇宫的宫廷剑士亨里克,奉卡兰瑟皇后之命与你进行一场剑术切磋。” His vision has the faint trace hostility like the falcon sharply, the tone not indignation, as if Witcher had insulted him. 他目光如鹰隼般锐利带着丝丝敌意,语气不忿,仿佛猎魔人曾经侮辱过他。 „Hasn't this your excellency, we met?” “这位阁下,我们没见过面吧？” Roy is confused now, he has not known why oneself were summoned into the imperial palace, not to mention the opposite this man inexplicable hostility. 罗伊现在一头雾水,他还不知道自己为何被召入皇宫,更别提对面这男人莫名的敌意。 „I in recent years am the imperial palace potency, but you actually continuously is a companion in the countryside and wild animal Drowner, has not naturally worn a mask.” “鄙人近些年一直为皇宫效力,而你却一直在乡下与野兽水鬼为伍,自然未曾蒙面。” The Henrik language contains to disdain, and starts to reorganize the own leather glove. „...... My this time comes to probe your strength as for your issue for Your Highness Empress, looked whether you really have the qualifications to act as the Princess swordsmanship teacher!” 亨里克语含不屑,并开始整理自己的皮手套。“至于你的问题……我这次是来替皇后殿下试探你的实力,看你是否真的有资格充当公主的剑术教习！” Princess? swordsmanship teacher? 公主？剑术教习？ „? So that's how it is.” Roy cleared off the clue instantaneously, „is actually who to recommend me to Empress? Does Princess refer to Ciri?” “啊？原来如此。”罗伊瞬间理清了头绪,“究竟是谁向皇后推荐我？公主是指希里吗？” Roy intention revolve like lightning, although cannot comprehend the concrete reason, but he is impossible to miss this extremely easy to obtain opportunity, contact Ciri, can further relate but actually on with her destiny entanglement Geralt, makes contact with the words with Wolf School, starts his plan. 罗伊心念电转,虽然搞不懂具体缘由,但他不可能错过这唾手可得的机会,接触倒希里,才能进一步联系上与她命运纠缠的杰洛特,和狼学派搭上话,开始他的计划。 „Then please give me weapon...... Steel Sword on the line.” Roy reaches out side, soldier hands over both hands standard Steel Sword accordingly. “那么请给我一把武器……钢剑就行。”罗伊向旁边伸出了手,一位士兵应声递过来一把双手制式钢剑。 „Witcher, the sword does not have the eye, if later my big heartache to you, please forgive much.” Henrik narrowed the eye to say one vaguely. “猎魔人,刀剑无眼,待会儿如果我不小心伤到了你,请多多包涵。”亨里克眯着眼睛不阴不阳地说了一句。 „That can only explain my scholarship not fine.” Roy answer back sarcastically said that „, although give me all you got, to thank your excellency care, I will keep the hand appropriately, making you lose dignified.” “那只能说明我学艺不精。”罗伊反唇相讥道,“尽管放马过来,为了感谢阁下的关心,我会适当留手,让你输得体面。” The atmosphere solidifies instantly, two confronting swordsmen drew out long sword as if by prior agreement. 气氛霎时凝固,两名对峙的剑士不约而同拔出了长剑。 ...... …… The garden Second Floor viewing platform, encircles by one crowd of Chamberlaine and guards in central one old and one young, is observing below situation in secret. 花园二层观景台,被一群侍从和守卫围在中央的一老一小,正暗中观察着下方的局势。 „Ciri, remembers you to my commitment, later Witcher lost you unable to act shamelessly, do not cry to me!” The revolution of Empress Calanthe vision on Witcher, „this boy seems like but actually and other Witcher is not quite same, but is too young throughout, how possibly is the Henrik opponent.” “希瑞,记住你对我的承诺,待会儿猎魔人输了你不能耍赖,别给我哭鼻子！”卡兰瑟皇后目光在猎魔人身上一转,“这小子看上去倒和别的猎魔人不太一样,不过始终年纪太小,怎么可能是亨里克的对手。” „Snort!” Empress nearby white Princess skirt, the facial features fine such as the petite girl of doll raised the cheek soaringly, „my aunt, Dragon Slaying Warrior is small, is not ordinary people can be a worthy opponent, you wait to watch the good play! When the time comes, do not renege on a promise!” “哼！”皇后旁边一身洁白的公主裙,五官精致如洋娃娃的娇小女孩高昂地扬起了脸蛋,“我的老妈妈,屠龙勇士再小,也不是凡夫俗子能够匹敌的,您就等着看好戏吧！到时候,您也不要反悔！” „Damn! Ciri pays attention to your status, cannot speak such vulgar words and expressions!” “该死！希瑞注意你的身份,不许说这么粗鄙的词语！” Maidservants after two person cannot bear the covering mouth chuckle. 两人身后的侍女们忍不住捂嘴轻笑。 „Look!” Calanthe patted rattan chair suddenly excitedly, „is this you place the great expectations ‚Dragon Slaying Warrior’? Really is a joke, Witcher is also mediocre!” “看啦！”卡兰瑟突然激动地拍了藤椅一把,“这就是你寄予厚望的‘屠龙勇士’？真是个笑话,猎魔人也不过如此啊！” In the field battle presents the one-sided situation. 场中战斗呈现一边倒的局势。 Henrik grasps the slender thorn sword, the bearing is calm, stance graceful, each sword wields to give people an appropriate feeling, like small beard that he handles every day carefully, was full of ornamental. 亨里克手握纤长的刺剑,气度从容、姿态优雅、每一剑挥出都给人一种恰如其分的感觉,如同他每日精心打理的小胡子,充满了观赏性。 But his hand is the clearly opposite performance. Young Witcher falls into passively under the Henrik nimble and resourceful fast thorn sword, 但他的手又是截然相反的表现。年轻的猎魔人在亨里克灵动迅捷的刺剑下陷入被动, Whole person by firmly Suppress. The Henrik thorn sword not only has a gloomy and vicious vigor lightly, agily and faintly, each attack accurate thorn to opponent the nape of the neck, heart, eye and other strategic points , and offensive and rhythm like the passing clouds and flowing water, wave after wave, do not stand still. 整个人被牢牢压制。亨里克的刺剑不仅翩跹、利落、更隐隐有一股阴沉、凶狠的劲儿,每一次进攻都精准地刺向对手的脖颈、心脏、眼睛等要害,且攻势、节奏如行云流水,一浪接一浪,毫不停歇。 Roy only then the ability to parry, does not have the strength to hit back, is good is solid because of his swordsmanship foundation of basic skills, the sword potential transforms, defends is watertight. 罗伊只有招架之功,无还手之力,好在他剑术功底还算扎实,剑势转换间,守得滴水不漏。 However looks like in most observers, being defeated of Witcher is only the time issue. 然而在大部分旁观者看来,猎魔人的落败只是时间问题。 If so? 果真如此？ Roy is controlling the movement of body, ships out a being thrown into confusion appearance strongly. 罗伊控制着身体的动作,竭力装出一副手忙脚乱的样子。 If is extremely from the beginning senseless on the crude steamroll opposite party, only then reverses to be impressive. 如果一开始就粗暴碾压对方太过无趣,只有反转才能让人印象深刻。 In addition, the too high military force and not necessarily meets the received appreciation, possibly is regarded as the threat. 此外,过高的武力并不见得会受到欣赏,更可能被视为威胁。 Therefore he in „keeps hand earnestly appropriately”, simultaneously observes Henrik thorn sword swordsmanship that was different from the past opponent. 所以他切实在“适当留手”,同时观察亨里克着不同于以往对手的刺剑剑术。 Practices the sword 20 years, the Henrik somewhat truly learned and genuinely talented, depending on the Roy several months of swordsmanship accumulations, naturally is far less than him. 练剑二十年,亨里克还是有几分真才实学,光凭罗伊几个月的剑术积累,自然远不如他。 But the Attributes disparity is too big, quick sword that Henrik is proud, looks like in Witcher, is too slow! 但属性差距太大,亨里克引以为傲的快剑,在猎魔人看来,太慢！ „This ——” the grating friction of sword point and in ridges, the Witcher danger strategic place swung the Royal Swordman thorn to strike once again. “兹——”剑尖与剑脊的刺耳摩擦中,猎魔人又一次险之又险地荡开了宫廷剑士的刺击。 Calanthe cannot bear curses verbosely, „bastard Henrik! Hasn't eaten to sate the appetite? Soft likely woman! Right, maintains the rhythm, again hurry up, punctures his throat, a move of system enemy, Witcher could not avoid!” 卡兰瑟忍不住絮絮叨叨地咒骂,“混蛋亨里克！没吃饱饭吗？软绵绵的像个娘们！对,保持节奏,再快点,刺他的喉咙,一招制敌,猎魔人躲不开了！” Side, Ciri wields the pure white small fist elegantly nervous, consoles oneself saying that „un ‚Dragon Slaying Warrior’ be showing the enemy to weakly, this is the tactic. Waits for the small beard to exhaust the strength, is the counter-attack time!” 旁边,希里雅紧张兮兮地挥动洁白的小拳,自我安慰道,“嗯‘屠龙勇士’只是在示敌以弱,这是战术。等小胡子用尽力气,就是反击的时候！” ...... …… Witcher considers as finished for almost three minutes, immediately the incarnation takes off/escapes the grid beast of prey, pulls down the body to charge into the opposite party, welcomes one that is poking to puncture the sword. 猎魔人算了差不多三分钟,顿时化身脱栅猛兽,压低身体冲向对方,迎着戳来的一记刺剑。 „Whish ——” sword blade of silvery bright from the sky delimits together half a month shape arc together. “哗——”一道银亮的剑刃在空中划出一道半月状的弧形。 The extravagant sword and thin sword front impact, Henrik withdrawing sword blade, had not only thought that with enough time a great strength wells up the fingers/tiger mouth, a body hemp, weapon lets go directly. 阔剑与细剑正面碰撞,亨里克没来得及抽回剑刃,只觉得一股巨力涌上虎口,身体一麻,武器直接脱手而出。 Next second, on a sword blade stuck at his neck of cold light Glimmer. Henrik lowers the head, „rumble” the sound of swallowing saliva may hear clearly, 下一秒,一把寒光闪烁的剑刃卡在他的脖子上。亨里克垂下了头,“咕噜咕噜”的吞咽口水的声音清晰可闻, „I lost.” “我输了。” All around people keep silent. 四周众人噤若寒蝉。 „Absurd!” “岂有此理！” Empress Calanthe stands up infuriated, turns around to depart directly! 卡兰瑟皇后火冒三丈地站起身,直接转身离去！ „Great, Witcher.” A Ciri Princess style had not jumped, goes all out to wield the palm to the under garden excitedly, Witcher is called to turn the head by this clear summon instantaneously. “好样的,猎魔人。”希里没有一丝公主风范地蹦了起来,兴奋地冲着下方花园拼命挥动手掌,猎魔人瞬间被这一声清脆的呼唤叫得转过头。 A big small two pairs of unusual look pupil connects in the midair. 一大一小两对异色的眸子在半空中交汇。 „——” in the Witcher heart moves, on the viewing platform that short leg, the short hand and are the fat small girl Ciri? “难道——”猎魔人心中一动,观景台上那一个短腿、短手、肉呼呼小丫头就是希里？ That fears her to have a beautiful face, is the obvious beautiful woman embryo, cannot conceal a fact, is less than absolutely ten years old! 那怕她眉目如画,是个明显的美人胚子,都掩盖不住一个事实,绝对不到十岁！ „Then Ciri should be eight years old this year.” “那么希里今年应该是八岁。” Now cannot see in the future that full of heroic spirit Onee-san model/pattern Er completely, moreover she is not in the hearsay „ugly girl”. 现在完全看不出未来那英气勃勃的御姐范儿,而且她也不是传闻中“丑丫头”。 „Giggle......” this time above Ciri looks at a Roy lost appearance, cannot bear cover the small mouth to smile two tenderly, “咯咯……”这时上方的希里看着罗伊一副怔怔出神的模样,忍不住捂着小嘴娇笑两声, „Bye, ‚Dragon Slaying Warrior’!” “再会,‘屠龙勇士’！”
