Next morning.
第二天早晨。
The branchsparrowchirpcries out, sunlightpass throughwindowscatterslazily, the photohasin the roomunstabto hang upside downbig fellowonhammockjust likecorpsethreeperson:baldlyhangingly, the four limbsspreads outto assumeSerrit on figure eightface uplying downrug, digs the buttocksto rely onAuckesnearbathbarrel the chin.
枝头麻雀叽喳叫唤,阳光懒洋洋地透过窗户撒进来,照出房间中东倒西歪宛如尸体般的三个人:光头悬空倒挂在吊床上的大汉,四肢摊开呈八字形仰面躺地毯上的瑟瑞特,还有撅起屁股将下巴倚在浴桶边的奥克斯。Threebig fellowsnoring soundin the roomcontinuously, the mouthare also often spitting the liquorair/Qi.
三名大汉的鼾声在房间中此起彼伏,嘴里还不时吐着酒气。„Bang!” The roomblast openloud sound, threemale drunkardfigureshakesuddenly, under the instincturgesto tighten the bodyinstantaneously, draws outswordvigilantly.
“轰!”房间突然炸裂般的巨响,三名醉汉身形一震,本能驱使下瞬间绷紧身体,警惕地拔出身边剑。
The nextquarter, theylaunchPortal of leaf of shiningat present, Portalseems the eye of windto keepagitatingwhistling the sound, then a personwas soundlessto stepfrominside.
下一刻,他们眼前展开了一扇流光溢彩的传送门,传送门好似风眼般不停鼓动呼呼的声音,然后一个人蹑手蹑脚地从里面跨了出来。„Boy, youdisappointme!” The ice-coldsoundmakessuddenly the intruderbodystiff, „so-calledimportantprivate affairsareaccompanySorceressto be loose.”
“小鬼,你太让我失望!”冰冷的声音让突然闯入者身体僵硬,“所谓重要的私人事务就是陪女术士风流快活,啧啧。”Auckesis watching the fun, a facetakes pleasure in others' misfortunes.奥克斯看着热闹,一脸幸灾乐祸。„everyone, matteris notsuch that youthink.” The Witchercomplexionexplainedcalm,„IandCoralam discussingsomeofficial business.”
“诸位,事情不是你想的那样。”猎魔人脸色淡定地解释,“我和珊瑚只是在谈论一些公务。”In the crack in a doorspreads the womansuddenlydiscontentedtender, PortalinstantaneousOblivion.
门缝里忽而传出女人的不满的娇哼,传送门瞬间湮灭。„Lytta Neydthisoldwoman!”On the Lethoface the blue veinis towering, „initiallyshould notaskherto manageTrial of the Grasses!”
“丽塔·尼德这个老女人!”雷索脸上青筋突兀,“当初就不该请她主持青草试炼!”„Boy, how can't youunderstandmypainstaking efforts? Is Sorceressyoucanincur to stir up?”
“小鬼,你怎么就不能理解我的良苦用心?女术士是你能招惹得起的?”Royshakes the headto sigh, whydoes not believehim. HeandCoralrodeobviouslyinGriffin conducts the back, chatted a night of futuretentative plan, danceddancingagain.罗伊摇头叹了口气,为啥不相信他。他和珊瑚明明只是骑在歌尔芬背上,聊了一夜未来的设想,再就跳了跳舞。„Whystartstomylittle brother!?”Another sideAuckeswhole facethought aloudworriedly,„howshedoes not electme, haswhatplotto cometome!”
“为啥冲我的小兄弟下手!?”另一边的奥克斯却满脸苦恼地自言自语,“她怎么不选我,有什么阴谋冲我来!”„Forget it, everyone......”Serritclears throat, broke the awkwardatmosphere, „whatinterrogationcongressdoes? You have anyqualificationsto accuseRoy, do not forgetlast nightinthatcrazyvigor that the family/home of Queen of the Night...... plays...”Hisintenthas referred tosweeping the neck of Auckes, theretwohickeysare clearly discernible.
“得了吧,诸位……”瑟瑞特清了清嗓子,打破了尴尬的气氛,“搞什么批斗大会?你们又有啥资格指责罗伊,别忘了昨晚在夜女王之家……玩的那股疯狂劲儿…”他意有所指地扫了扫奥克斯的脖子,那里两枚唇印清晰可见。Interrogatedstopstemporarily.
批斗暂时中止。At this time the Griffin·black catdrilled the headfrom the hoodsuddenly, a blackeyeballrevolution, crawledimmediatelyin the Roytop of the head, „meowmeow”kept calling.
这时歌尔芬·黑猫突然从兜帽中钻出脑袋,黑溜溜的眼珠子一转,随即爬到了罗伊的头顶上,“喵喵”地叫个不停。Looksfrom afar, the Witcherheadseemedwithstood/toponly the large sizefrog. Hesaidhesitant,„Griffinhad not eaten the thinglast night, Imustgivehimto preparebreakfast”
远远看去,猎魔人头上好似顶了只大号青蛙。他犹犹豫豫地说,“歌尔芬昨晚没吃东西,我得给他准备早餐”„Matterstops! Leave alonewhatSorceress, waitress.” The Lethocomplexionis still ugly, actuallyno longerintertwinesinthistopic. „Sinceeveryoneawoke, thatmakesusreturn to the subject.”
“事情到此为止!别管什么女术士,女服务员。”雷索脸色依然难看,却不再纠结于这个话题。“既然大家都醒了,那就让我们回归正题。”Royrelaxes.罗伊松了口气。Witcherrapidregains consciousnessfrom the hangoverbypowerfulConstitution, startsto discuss that the castingaboutManticoreequipment, soonhad the result.猎魔人凭借强大的体质迅速从宿醉中苏醒,开始商量关于飞狮怪装备的铸造,很快有了结果。BerengarandLethowere responsible for the research of blacksmith's shoprentingandblueprint, Serrit Brothersinhandreceived the lastthreehundredCrownfundfrom„financialmanager”, since the burdencollected the castingmaterial the duty.贝连迦尔和雷索负责铁匠铺租赁和图纸的研究,瑟瑞特兄弟则从“财务总管”手里领取了最后一笔三百克朗的款子,负担起收集铸造材料的任务。
The fourequipment of Haklandstyleneeded the materialto request the formerViper Schooldoubleswordto be higher, was harsher. Inexpensiveincluding the basicsteel plate, the iron slab, is expensiveDragon Hide, the Demeritiumboard, the whitestonewait/etc.哈克兰风格的四件装备所需材料比之前蛇派双剑要求更高,更苛刻。廉价一些的包括基本的钢板,铁块,然后就是昂贵的龙族皮革,反魔法金属板、皓石等等。WhathereDragon Hidefinger/refersis notgenuineDragonskin, butfromRoyal Wyvern, Forktail, Basiliskand otherLesser Dragonwere the groupleather.
此处龙族皮革指的并非真正的巨龙身上的皮肤,而是从翼首龙,叉尾龙、石化蜥蜴等亚龙属身上拨下来的皮革。Evensostill is extremely expensively rare, has been at the stockoutconditioninmostleathermerchantthere, Serrit Brothers can only go to the market and auctiontries one's luck, perhaps is really not goodmakes a moveto hunt and kill a headpersonally.
即便如此也极其稀有、昂贵,在大部分皮革商人那里一直处于缺货状态,瑟瑞特兄弟只能去市场和拍卖会碰碰运气,实在不行恐怕得亲自出手去猎杀一头。Mostmaterialscanbuy, althoughexpense not poor.
大部分材料是可以买到的,虽然花销不菲。Royhas not participated in the castingdutytemporarily, hewashes offmark, thenwent to the Temple Districtsquare, preparesto seek helpPrincess Adda.罗伊暂时没参与铸造任务,他洗掉身上的印记,便去了神殿区广场,准备求助雅妲公主。Church of Virtuein the morning the time of mass, but the bigsquarediffers from the past, the scene of sea of peopledevoutprayerdoes not exist, the sparseresidentwandersinthisat a loss, just likelosing the pillar, fragmentarytenbelieverpaced back and forth is square center's, laid aside the Lady of the Lakestatue the position.
正是美德教会清晨弥撒的时间,但偌大个广场不同以往,人山人海虔诚祷告的场景不复存在,稀疏的市民在此茫然地游荡,宛如失去了主心骨,还有零星的十来个信徒徘徊在广场中央,原本放置湖中女神雕像的位置。
The statuedoes not know when moved away.
雕像不知何时被移走了。Onecrowd of strangeKnight of White Roseassemblein the , did not donate the gruelvegetable/dishlike the pastlike that insteaddrove awaybeliever that is not willingto leave, somepeoplecriedto yellare unruly, was carried away by forcebyindifferentKnightdirectly.
一群陌生的白蔷薇骑士纠集在附近,不像往日那般布施粥菜,反而驱赶着不愿离开的信徒,有人哭哭啼啼大叫撒泼,然后被冷漠的骑士直接架走。Morepeoplechosegave upandleaving, orswitched the bosom of another sideLebiodaProphet. After alltwoandthreemonths of prays, theirbelieftoLady of the Lakeare farreliably.
更多人选择了放弃、离开,或者转投另一边雷比欧达先知的怀抱。毕竟两、三个月的祈祷,他们对湖女的信仰谈不上多牢固。In the squarecannot see the ChurchArchpriestAddashadowcompletely, hastwo female and one malethreeSorcererto mingle among the middle ofKnight.
广场上完全看不到教会大祭司雅妲的影子,却有两女一男三名术士混迹在骑士当中。„Fercart?”ThismaleSorcererfromCidarisputs on the art, statureis thin, on the lipkeepstwoto cast aside the finebeard, the manneris arrogant, in the Knightteamjust likeleadership of patrol.
“费卡特?”这名来自希达里斯的男术士穿着讲究,身材消瘦,上嘴唇留着两撇精致的胡须,神态高傲,在骑士队中宛如巡逻的领导。Witcherhidesinto the shadow in alley, sizes upsecretly,猎魔人躲入小巷中的阴影,偷偷打量,As fortwoSorceress, openschestscattered fine flower patternskirtappearbeautiful and charmingstature, halfchestbeautifulscenery, as well as their respectiveprotective charm:person of chest frontis wearingembedwhitestonesilverAnkh( a cross), the statureis petite, the lightgoldenlong hairthrows overalong with the naturein the shoulders, walks, the branchskirtsuspendsrevealsbigskinsfaintly.
至于两名女术士,开胸碎花长裙显露出姣好的身材,半个胸脯的绮丽风光,以及她们各自的护符:一人胸前佩戴着镶嵌皓石的银色安卡(一种十字架),个子娇小,浅金色的长发随性地披在双肩,行走间,分岔的裙摆隐隐露出一大片皮肤。Witcherrecognizedheridentity, Keira MetzfromCarreras.猎魔人一眼认出了她的身份,来自卡瑞亚斯的凯拉·梅兹。
The gentlewomenoftenwill gripwell-mannered the hair, manySorceressactuallylikeindependent in mind and actionnot tying up the hair.
良家妇女们往往都会把头发扎得规规矩矩,不少女术士却喜欢特立独行地不去捆缚头发。Therefore, ifsaw that a maturebeautifulfemalewalksin the street, the fullshawllong hair, shemost likelyisSorceress.
所以,如果看到一名成熟美丽的女性走在街头,满头披肩长发,那她八成是个女术士。Triss·Merigoldis the anotherexample, hermaroonfluffylong hairafter the brainwith an orangehair clip, the eyeis the light blue, bridge of the noseslightlycurved, the cheeksgrowseveralgrains of freckle, the corners of the mouthhave a mole, appearingsmart-aleckyandsexy.特莉丝·梅利葛德又是另一个例子,她栗色的蓬松长发用一枚橘黄色的发夹别在脑后,眼睛是浅蓝色的,鼻梁微弯,脸颊长着几粒雀斑,嘴角有颗美人痣,显得俏皮而性感。Young girl who hermakingsandfacial expression, someshapeshave little experience of the world, the stepis lithe, has the puresmile, as iftreatedinAretuza of tall wallyardwas too long. Herageindeedisthreepeoplesmallest, is less than40 years old.
她的气质、神情,有些像涉世未深的少女,步履轻盈,带着纯真的笑容,似乎在高墙大院的艾瑞图萨里待了太久。她的年纪的确是三人最小的,不到四十岁。Herchest fronthangsbelongs toownto mount the sapphireprotective charm.
她的胸前挂着属于自己的镶嵌蓝宝石的护符。Walks, shehas turned the headoccasionally, smiling, have a relishis sizing up the surroundingall.
行走间,她偶尔转过头,微笑着,饶有兴致地打量周围的一切。
......
……„His Majesty the Kinghas startedto begin.”
“国王陛下已经开始动手。”Witchertook back the vision, leaves the square, actuallyfeelsreceivedtogetherunusualattention, puts on the flaxcotton garmentstaturefrailboyfromone, hewalked the stopperdirectly a smallpaper, „had an Sirto look foryou.”猎魔人收回了目光,离开广场,却感受到一道异样的注目,来自一位穿着亚麻布衣身材单薄的男孩,他径直走过来塞了一张小小的纸条,“有位大人找你。”
The youngboysomewhatavoids the Roylooktimidly, thatwild animalpupilmakeshimbe afraid.
小男孩有些怯怯地避开罗伊的眼神,那野兽般的瞳孔让他害怕。Roysenthimwithcopper coin.罗伊用一枚铜子儿打发了他。Looked at the paper, Witcherfolded the bodyto rush toTrading District, was more spacious the luxurioushousesto go throughinTrading District, arrives atbeyond a bigconstruction, thereis defendingKnight of White Rose that wore the mail-armor and helmet, was the ripeface, previoustimetook an oaththatseveral that gave loyalty to Adda.
看了看纸条,猎魔人折身赶往贸易区,在贸易区里更加宽敞豪华的一栋栋房屋间穿行,来到一栋高大的建筑外,那里守着身披甲胄的白蔷薇骑士,是熟面孔,上次向雅妲宣誓效忠的那几位。Sure enough, in the roomPrincess Addais waiting forhim.
果不其然,房间里雅妲公主在等着他。„Knight of Vizimalake, youcamefinally.”Addachanged the whiteto offer a sacrifice to the clothing/taking, tradedgracefulnoble airpalaceskirt, the hairgrippedonebunchafter the brain, butherpalefearfully.
“维吉玛湖的骑士,你终于来了。”雅妲换下了白色祭服,换了一身优雅贵气的宫廷长裙,头发在脑后扎成一捆,但她的脸色苍白得可怕。„The change in squareIsaw,”Witchersitsinherbodyside.
“广场上的变化我看到了,”猎魔人坐在她身侧。„NewSorcerertakes ordersinFoltest...... is intendingto suppressChurch.”Addamakes an effortto press firmly between the fingers the edge of seat, the knuckleblanch, „his came backto look likechangedindividual, did not listen tometo explaincompletely, not onlyrecognizedbiasedGoddesswas an evillifeform, but alsocalled formeimmediatelyto stop the enterprise in hand, dismissingChurch.”
“新来的术士听命于弗尔泰斯特……正在出手打压教会。”雅妲用力捏住座椅的边缘,指节发白,“他这趟回来像变了个人,完全不听我解释,不仅偏执地认定女神是个邪恶的生物,还要求我立即停止手中的事业、解散教会。”Addais nipping the silvertooth, the toneis quite miserable, „healsodestroyedmymostpowers, nowavailablepersononlyremainsentrancethatseveralKnight.”雅妲咬着银牙,语气颇为凄凉,“他还剥夺了我大部分权力,现在可用之人只剩门口那几个骑士。”„Ido not have the means that can only cancel the morningmeeting, informsbeliever, delaysallChurchto moveunlimited.”
“我没办法,只能取消早晨的聚会,通知信徒,无限期地延缓所有教会活动。”Witcherhesitated the moment, buthedoes not believe that Addawill easily submit, „what do youhaveto plan?”猎魔人沉吟了片刻,但他不相信雅妲会轻易屈服,“你有什么打算?”„WantsmeChurch that gives up the fee/spentcompletelypainstaking careestablishing? Is impossible! Such the kindness of doing a disservice toGoddess.”Addasips the liplookto be firm, „, since, Vizimacannot accommodateGoddessChurchoutwardlyagain, wechange a place!”
“要我放弃费尽心血建立的教会?不可能!那样对不起女神的恩典。”雅妲抿着唇眼神坚定,“既然明面上,维吉玛再也容不下女神的教会,那我们换个地方!”Shedid not havetowith the ownfather, VizimatrueRulerto spellcrazilyhardly.
她还没疯狂到跟自己的父亲,维吉玛真正的统治者硬拼。„Wheretradesto go?” The Witcherdoubtssaid,„youdo refer toshifting the suburb the Churchheadquarters?”
“换到哪里去?”猎魔人疑惑道,“你指的是把教会总部转移到郊外?”„Ihave contacted with a Trading Districtbigmerchant, aftertestGoddessbeliever,” the Addalookis solemn, the pupil of slenderis shining, „hewill preachforGoddessto the village in Vizimaouter suburbs. Makes a fresh startin the smallplace.”
“我已经联系了一位贸易区的大商人,经过考验的女神信徒,”雅妲神色端庄,细长的眸子放着光,“他会到维吉马远郊的村落里替女神布道。在小地方重新开始。”„Suburbvillageis farfromVizimaenough, Foltestcannot managetemporarily, Churchhas the leeway of displaying. Moreoverand otherbeliever of surroundingdevelop, thencangraduallynibbleVizima.”
“郊外村庄距离维吉玛够远,弗尔泰斯特暂时管不到,教会有施展的余地。而且等外围的信徒发展起来,便能逐渐蚕食维吉玛。”„Withoutis so simple,”Witchersaiddecisively,„is the remotecountryside, beliefinsteadis firmer, theyletter/believeddozensyears of Melitele, will not easily changebelief.”
“没那么简单,”猎魔人断然道,“越是偏僻的乡下,信仰反而越坚定,他们都信了几十年的梅里泰莉,不会轻易改变信仰。”„MoreoverleavesVizima, without the dailyfree mealdistribution, is very difficultto attractnewbeliever.”
“而且离开维吉玛,没有每日的免费食物配送,很难吸引新的信徒。”„Does not have the means that cannot, whateverGoddessbeliefdeclines, mustkeep a seedtoher.”Addadeep breath, saidearnestly,„in addition, Ido not planto give upVizimaoverall, minimumpartfirmestbelievermusttake rootin the city, mustfind the place that every dayprayedforthem.”
“没办法,总不能任由女神的信仰衰落下去,总要给她留个种子。”雅妲深呼吸,又认真地说,“此外,我并不打算全盘放弃维吉玛,极小部分最坚定的信徒必须在城里扎根,得为他们找到每日祈祷的地方。”„ButHis Majesty the Kingpromulgates the bannow, Lady of the Lakebeliefis unable to appearunder the sunlight.”
“可现在国王陛下颁布了禁令,湖女的信仰无法出现在阳光下。”„Groundis not good, thatbottom.”Addais gazing at the eye of Witcher, „thisisgoal that Iaskyouto come”
“地面不行,那就地底。”雅妲注视着猎魔人的眼睛,“这就是我找你过来的目的”Bottom?
地底?Witcherfirstis the surprise, subsequentlythought ofanything, is suddenly enlighted.猎魔人先是诧异,继而想到了什么,恍然大悟。Addanoticeshisexpressionchange, „looks likeyoualsoto knowaboutthisplacebottom.”雅妲注意到他的表情变化,“看来你对这个地底也有所了解。”„Vizimasewer that yourefer to?”
“你是指的维吉玛的下水道?”Addanods, stands up, pacesin the roomslowly, „Iwent througha lot ofmaterials, the Vizimasewerhave establishedin the vestige in ancientElfcitydirectly. Butsewerdrainage ditchstructureonlyoccupiedpart of vestige, was very big a piece and fully capableregionto retain. ThesespacelinksTrading DistrictandTemple District, simplyarenatural, perfectrefuge shelter.”雅妲颔首,站起身,在房间里缓慢踱步,“我查阅过很多资料,维吉玛的下水道直接建立在古代精灵城市的遗迹上。而下水道这种沟渠结构只占据了遗迹的一部分,还有很大一片、功能完善的区域保留了下来。这些空间联通了贸易区和神殿区,简直是个天然的、完美的避难所。”Addadecidedsaidsurely,„Iprepared the headquartersrelocation of Churchin the past.”雅妲定了定说,“我准备把教会的总部搬迁过去。”WitcherlookedagainthisPrincesslookchanged, canthinklies low until something blows overtemporarily, „ruralsurroundingcity”development guidelines, but can also find such a covertescape routefor the Churchmain force.猎魔人再看这位公主的眼神变了,既能想到暂避风头,“农村包围城市”的发展方针,还能为教会主要力量找到这么一条隐蔽的后路。No wonderLady of the Lakeregards as importanther.
难怪湖中女士看重她。„Butsomeissues, Addasaysnow”truthfully,„sewerwas abandonedmanyyears, was admitted tomanydangerouslifeform, for the safety of generalbelieverconsider, needs the warriorto eradicatethesethreats.”
“但现在有些问题,”雅妲如实地说,“下水道被废弃了很多年,住进了很多危险生物,为了广大教徒的安全着想,需要勇士铲除这些威胁。”
