Codeword Fort, like the ancient twin-tower building, said at first sight is a castle, is actually not very huge, stands looked in the castle entrance upward, like the Notre Dame Cathedral that the previous generation sees, two standing tall and erect turrets find out from the main construction, stand tall and erect under the gloomy sky. Different from the church, is only its color, under the gloomy sky the fortress that is built by the black stone appears several points of ghastly and fearful, some crows have flown, leaves behind the miserable cry above the castle, the sky soaring toward distant place goes. 暗语堡,乍一看就像古老的双子塔楼,说是城堡,其实并不是很庞大,站在城堡大门口往上看,就像前世看到的巴黎圣母院,两座高耸的塔楼从主建筑上探出,高耸于灰暗的天空之下。不同于教堂的,只是它的颜色,阴暗的天空下由黑石筑成的堡垒显得几分阴森可怕,一些乌鸦嗷嗷的飞过,在城堡上方留下凄凉的叫声,朝着远方的天空飞翔而去。 After showing identification, guard very polite makes Rod one group of wait for the moment, he informs Lord James Waren. 在出示了身份证明之后,卫兵很客气的让罗德一行人等候片刻,他去通知詹姆斯.瓦伦领主。 „Hello, Sir Rod, our Lord welcome you to be a guest to Codeword Fort, please come with me.” “您好,罗德大人,我们领主欢迎您到暗语堡做客,请跟我来。” Before long, guard Captain then came out from inside, the well-mannered desire takes into the castle Rod. However, he soon discovered is not right, „Sir, this is?” Guard Captain will follow to block in Rod behind Witch Hunter, a face vigilant is looking at him. However, the people in this little while castle do not know that he is Witch Hunter. The black leather clothing, this is not the exclusive equipment of Witch Hunter, many Chekist, assassin anything also likes such attire appearance. 不一会儿,卫兵队长便从里面出来了,彬彬有礼的欲将罗德带进城堡。然而,他很快发现了不对劲,“大人,这位是？”卫兵队长将跟在罗德身后的猎巫人拦了下来,一脸警惕的望着他。不过,这会儿城堡的人都不知道他是猎巫人。黑色皮衣,这不是猎巫人的专属装备,许多秘密警察,刺客什么的也喜欢这样的装束打扮。 „He is the friend of mine, what issue has? Captain?” “他是我的朋友,有什么问题吗？队长？” Rod stops the footsteps, turns head to ask. His tone is somewhat serious, on the face has resentful face slightly, guard Captain not to dare to ask, after all, this Sir Baron is Ice Queen Katarin sends at present, but the Queen Katarin person, no one dares to move...... 罗德停下脚步,回过头去问到。他的语气有些严肃,同时脸上带着略微的愠色,卫兵队长不敢多问,毕竟,眼前这位男爵大人是冰雪女王卡特琳娜派来的,而卡特琳娜女王的人,谁都不敢动…… „Oh, no, your excellency comes.” “噢,没什么,阁下请进。” Guards speaking of Captain politeness. Naturally, Rod does not think that this fellow in also so will be usually polite. 守卫队长礼貌的说到。当然,罗德并不认为这家伙在平时也会那么礼貌。 Arrives in the hall time, master Baron James Waren of castle well-dressed has been awaiting respectfully. He seems like a very ordinary person, usually almost cannot discover any prominent characteristics to you. First, he is not high is not short, moderate, in the world is the medium stature. Next, his clothes are also fair, wipes the smile always not to leave the lips, making one somewhat ascertain airtight. Forty th years age, when the maturity, has not been balding, does not have the white hair. But is a brown short hair, is seemingly succinct and energetic. 抵达大厅的时候,城堡的主人詹姆斯.瓦伦男爵已经穿戴整齐恭候着了。他看上去是一个十分平常的人,平常到你几乎找不出任何突出的特点。首先,他不高也不矮,不胖不瘦,在人类世界中算是中等身材。其次,他的穿着打扮也是中规中矩,一抹浅浅的微笑总是不离唇间,让人有些捉摸不透。四十几岁年的年龄,正值壮年,没有谢顶,也没有白发。而是一头褐色的短发,看上去简练而精神。 „Welcome your arrival, the Queen envoy and Kislev Chosen and Blackhammer Fort Lord — — Rod Lowen.” “欢迎你的到来,女王的使者、基斯里夫神选者、黑锤堡领主——罗德.劳恩。” James Waren respectful reading. And brought in Rod his hall personally. 詹姆斯.瓦伦恭恭敬敬的念到。并亲自将罗德带到了他的大厅里面。 Here like an ancient tower, inside is very simply simple . A complete brown bearskin hangs above the Lord throne, several stairs then can arrive at that on stone chair that is symbolizing the castle sovereignty. Some kerosene lamps were sewn on the stone column, is releasing the weak flame, as the illumination in castle hall, other, then could not discover what special place. This made Rod remember oneself Blackhammer Fort, was the so simple indoor arrangement, did not have including a rug. Not to mention what crystal chandelier, ivory chair and gypsum statue. 这里就像一座古塔,里面十分朴素、简单。一张完整的棕色熊皮挂在领主宝座上方,几个台阶便可以走到那张象征着城堡统治权的石椅上。一些煤油灯被钉在石柱上,释放着微弱的火光,作为城堡大厅内的照明,其他的,便找不出什么特别的地方了。这让罗德想起了自己的黑锤堡,也是这般简单的室内布置,连一张地毯都没有。更别提什么水晶吊灯、象牙椅和石膏雕像。 „Lord James.” “詹姆斯领主。” Rod humble return. Afterward then sat from the position of recent position hall Lord. 罗德谦卑的回到。随后便坐在了距离大厅领主之位最近的位置上。 Several servants the end comes the liquor water immediately, besides Dwarf Bogor, others places on the cup the table, polite responding with smile. 几名仆人立即端来酒水,除了矮人博古尔之外,其他人都将杯子放在桌上,礼貌的报以微笑。 „Lord Rod, when do you arrive in Codeword Fort?” “罗德领主,你们是什么时候抵达暗语堡的？” James asked. His eye has swept the people, finally stops on Rod. 詹姆斯问到。他的眼睛扫过众人,最后停在罗德身上。 „Two days ago, exactly said that is one day ago, here that because we arrived at night the day before yesterday.” “两天前,确切的说,是一天前,因为前天夜里我们才到的这里。” Rod replied. 罗德回答到。 „Before you come, did not say one to me ahead of time, I quite arrange to receive cordially everyone.” “你们过来之前怎么也不提前跟我说一声,我好安排款待诸位。” Speaking of Lord James warm friendship. Naturally, Rod does not know this friendly somewhat real ingredient in inside. 领主詹姆斯热情友好的说到。当然,罗德也不知道这份友好到底有几分真实的成分在里面。 „Comes sharply, temporarily decides, therefore had not told you.” Rod returns with a smile. “来得急,临时决定,所以没有跟你说。”罗德笑着回到。 „Last night where did you stay overnight?” City Lord James is closely examining. “那你们昨晚留宿哪里？”城主詹姆斯追问着。 „Raven's Travels.” “渡鸦之旅。” „How can you stay overnight such place? Oh, sorry, my territory not like Kislev, the Raven's Travels hotel mostly is some tramp and small merchant lodge temporarily place, there environment is not really good. Oh, I should know earlier you must come.” “你们怎么能留宿那样的地方？噢,抱歉,我的领地不像基斯里夫城,渡鸦之旅旅馆大多是一些流浪汉和小商贩临时住宿的地方,那里的环境实在不好。唉,我应该早点知道你们要来的。” Codeword Fort Lord ships out remorse condition. 暗语堡领主装出一副自责之态。 „All right, all right, this does not hinder, lived outdoors all the way, has long been used.” “没事,没事,这不妨碍,一路上风餐露宿,早已习惯。” Rod is perfunctory. 罗德敷衍到。 „Right, this was?” “对了,这位是？” Lord James notices the Rod side woman, she is among one group of people only seemingly has the person of position. 詹姆斯领主注意到罗德身边的女人,她是一群人中间唯一一个看上去有身份地位的人。 „Ice Witch Caroline, the female of Hyde Fort Lord Warror.” “霜寒女巫卡洛琳,海德堡领主瓦瑞尔之女。” Rod introduced. 罗德介绍到。 Then, the responding with smile of Caroline politeness, thoughts actually other corners in this castle. 说完,卡洛琳礼貌的报以微笑,心思却在这座城堡里的其他角落。 „Bogor Ironwall.” “博古尔.铁壁。” Rod then introduced that others, the latter is sitting on the chair, shuts an eye to look at the completely empty wine glass, „gives me to come one cup again, thanks.” Dwarf is saying, is blinking to smile to nearby servant. 罗德接着介绍起了其他人,后者正坐在椅子上,闭起一只眼睛望着空空如也的酒杯,“再给我来一杯,谢谢。”矮人说着,对一旁的仆人眨着眼睛笑到。 „This rebels this is a disaster, you are not possibly able to imagine, even in my remote castle received the Erengrad refugee. Oh, this country was very barren, now, a rebellion makes Kislev pull out quickly spatially.” “这场叛乱这是一场灾难,你可能都无法想象,连我这座偏僻的城堡里都收到了厄轮格拉德的难民。唉,原本这个国家就十分贫瘠了,现在,一场叛乱快让基斯里夫掏空。” The after introduction of ceremonially, James and Rod then started to chat the current present situation. But Dieg has given a pretext goes to bathroom to leave the hall, as Witch Hunter, he has oneself one set to examine Chaos and dark method. 礼仪上的介绍完毕后,詹姆斯和罗德便开始聊起了当前的现状。而迭戈已经借口上厕所离开了大厅,作为猎巫人,他有着自己一套检测混沌与黑暗的方法。 „Indeed, in Blackhammer Fort, ten years does not have the non-native population to flow, but now, because of this disaster, has the phenomenon of population flowing backwards unexpectedly. Depending on the selfishness, this really does not know that to our like this small Lord is good is bad.” “的确,在黑锤堡,已经十年没有外来人口流入了,但是现在,因为这场灾难,竟然出现了人口倒流的现象。凭私心来说吧,这真不知道对我们这样的小领主来说是好是坏。” Rod is smiling the reply. 罗德微笑着回答。 „Oh, actually also useless, these are the refugees of penniless, arrives in the territory, will only cause more order issues. After all, the person of having a thing in the world, is the most fearful person. Not? However, if in your castle has enough many jobs, this but actually also good.” James lowers the head to speak. He swung waved the hand the wine glass, continued to speak. „Ice Queen, does Ice Queen have to this matter makes the concrete instruction and arrangement?” “唉,其实也没什么用,这些不过是身无分文的难民,来到领地上,只会造成更多的治安问题。毕竟,一无所有的人,才是最可怕的人。不是吗？不过,如果你的城堡里有足够多的工作机会,这倒还行。”詹姆斯低头说到。他摇了摇手中的酒杯,继续说到。“冰雪女王,冰雪女王有对这件事做具体的指示和安排吗？” „What matter?” “什么事？” „Battue Vampire matter.” “追猎吸血鬼的事。” In the James brown eye reveals an anxiety. Although is only the expression of flash, but Rod actually keen capture. 詹姆斯褐色的眼睛里流露出一丝忧虑。尽管只是一瞬间的表情,但是罗德却敏锐的捕捉到了。 „Concrete instruction...... that does not have, she sent some people, the assistance I to complete this task , just before leaving, Queen has said that found them, killed off, did not remain......” “具体的指示……那倒没有,她只是派了一些人,协助我完成这项任务,还有,临走时,女王说过的,找到它们,杀光,一个不留……” Rod is weaving the lie, first half a word is true, latter half a word actually not necessarily. To test the response of this Codeword Fort Lord. 罗德编织着谎言,前半句属实,后半句却未必。只是为了试探这位暗语堡领主的反应。 But he has almost no response, but swallowed saliva slightly, on the face showed the awkward smile, „indeed should like this, these Vampire, be too hateful, they are the executioners who cruelly harm the living, in my opinion, a blade kills them also to calculate that was cheap they.” James read. 而他几乎没有任何反应,只是微微吞咽了一口口水,脸上露出了尴尬的笑容,“的确应该这样,这些吸血鬼,太可恶,他们是残害生者的刽子手,在我看来,一刀杀死它们还算便宜它们了。”詹姆斯念到。 „Was indeed cheap they. Right, at night the day before yesterday, is I just arrived here time, then had Vampire offending somebody, in small town. Moreover heard that Vampire was chased down by two hunters, finally ran into the sewer, but the sewer is connecting this castle, does not know that your excellency does receive the information that Vampire appears and disappears?” “的确便宜他们了。对了,前天晚上,也就是我刚刚抵达这里的时候,便发生了一起吸血鬼伤人事件,就在小镇上。而且听说吸血鬼被两名猎人追杀,最后逃进了下水道,而下水道正连通着这座城堡,不知道阁下有没有收到吸血鬼出没的情报？” Rod asked. 罗德紧接着问到。 Sees only on the James face to reappear a flurried facial expression, „I also heard, and has sent people to investigate, but in the castle and no one witnesses Vampire to appear and disappear. As for enters this castle from the sewer, that is absolutely impossible, when my grandfather is alive, the sewer has then been in a closed state, no one can enter the castle through there.” James is replying self-possessedly...... 只见詹姆斯脸上浮现出一丝慌乱的神情,“我也听说了,并且已经派人去调查了,但是城堡内并没有人目击吸血鬼出没。至于从下水道进入这座城堡,那是绝对不可能的,在我祖父在世的时候,下水道便一直处于封闭状态,没有人可以通过那里进入城堡。”詹姆斯泰然自若的回答着……
