„Lady, the gentlemen, todayand does thatSirLordtalkhave the result?”
“女士,先生们,今天和那位领主大人的谈话有结果吗?”Witch HunterDiegwalkedfromout of the door, hiscautiousclosing the door, thenarrives in front ofRod, in a low voiceinquiring. The morningmeeting, theyseparateto act, RodandCarolinetake the distinguished guest, discussedin the hallandLord James. ButDieggave a pretextgoes to bathroom, the thoroughcastlehidden placeinvestigated. Hasdozensyears of he who hunts for the demonexperienceunderstoodvery muchhowwhilebattuegoalhiddenoneself. Factsshowed,heindeedinvestigated something.猎巫人迭戈从门外走了进来,他小心翼翼的关上门,而后走到罗德面前,低声询问着。上午的会见,他们分开行动,罗德和卡洛琳作为贵宾,在大厅中与詹姆斯领主会谈。而迭戈则借口上厕所,深入城堡暗处调查。有着几十年猎魔经验的他很懂得如何在追猎目标的同时隐藏自己。事实证明,他的确调查到了一些东西。„Nottoomanyresults, butfromhiswords and deeds, canjudgeprobablyheis lying. Inthiscastlehas certainly the secretivesecret.”
“没有太多的结果,不过从他的言行举止,可以大概判断出他在撒谎。这座城堡里一定有着不可告人的秘密。”Rodspoke. Carolinesees that gets to the entrance, dischargedsmallSpell——Silence. Make the entireroompeaceful, isolates the sound, topreventwalls have ears.罗德说到。卡洛琳见状,走到门口,施放了一个小法术——寂静术。让整个房间安静下来,将声音隔绝,以防止隔墙有耳。„Indeedhas the secret, Idiscoveredthisinkitchenpreservewithin.”
“的确有秘密,我在后厨储藏间里发现了这个。”Diegis saying, pulled outoneto be damaged the seriousheadskullfrom the bosom. On the bonehas no flesh, the perhapsdiscardedtimeis too long, the skullhas turned yellow, the most remarkablecharacteristicsarethisskullare very small, probably the skull of child, the position of back of the headwas pried open a large cave/hole, the surroundingscover entirely the crack. Before the conceivablethisyoungchilddies, sufferedhowfrigidandpainfuldevastation.迭戈说着,从怀里掏出了一颗受损严重的头颅骨。骨头上面已经没有任何血肉了,或许是被丢弃的时间太长,头骨已经发黄,最显著的特点是这颗头骨很小,像是小孩子的脑壳,后脑勺的位置被撬开了一个大洞,周围布满裂纹。可以想象这个年幼的孩子死前遭受到了多么惨烈而痛苦的摧残。Carolinehatesto clench jaws.卡洛琳恨得咬牙切齿。„Thisis they do certainly!”
“这一定是他们干的!”Herindignantreading.
她愤愤不平的念到。„Is uncertain, even, wedo not have the evidenceto showdirectlythisis relatedwithVampire. According tomyexperience, thisis not the ordinarywound, thisboypossiblyiswhenlivesis bitten the head, was eaten food. Zigzagtoothsealcanprove something from one side.”
“不一定,就算是,我们也没有证据可以直接证明这与吸血鬼有关。只是,按照我的经验来看,这不是普通的伤口,这个男孩可能是在活着的时候被咬碎脑袋,而后遭到进食。锯齿状的牙印可以从侧面证明一些东西。”Diegtranquilspeaking, onhisfacecalm, seemedthismatteris notsees for the first time inhislonghuntingprofession.迭戈平静的说到,他的脸上波澜不惊,好似这种事在他漫长的狩猎生涯中已经不是第一次见了。„Feed? Do theylikeswallowing the living person?”
“进食?他们喜欢吞噬活人吗?”Carolineangry-lookingasking.卡洛琳一脸怒气的问到。„Possiblyalsocontinues, theylikeheadinsidething.”
“可能还不止,它们喜欢头颅里面的东西。”Witch Hunteris saying, knocked the head of oneselfwith the fingergently. The peoplelistencannot help butto think that the whole bodytingles with numbness...... a bloodyandcruelpictureproducesin everyone mind.猎巫人说着,用手指轻轻敲了敲自己的脑袋。众人听完不由得觉得浑身发麻……一个血腥而残忍的画面在每个人脑海中生成。„Therefore, our wereto actually comeright.”
“所以,我们这趟其实是来对了。”Rodis sayingcalmly.罗德平静的说着。„Is, butourpeopleare too few, continue investigate is very perhaps difficult. IfhereallyhidesVampire, orhisoneselfisVampire, oursituations will be very so dangerous.”
“算是,不过我们人太少,继续调查下去恐怕很难。如果他真的藏匿吸血鬼的话,或者他自己就是吸血鬼,那样,我们的处境会十分危险。”OldWitch Hunteris saying, arrives by the table, tooneselfbut actuallyfulloneglass of wines. Hiscorner of the eyecovers entirely the wrinkle, seeming like the vicissitudesis very deep. Everyone Witch Hunterhas the oneselfstory, orcrazy, eithercruel, eitherloyal, butDieghas not toldhisstorytoeveryoneat present, Rod believes that after thiscooperation, old person'sheartmayopen.
老猎巫人说着,走到桌旁,给自己倒了满满一杯的葡萄酒。他的眼角布满皱纹,看上去十分沧桑而深沉。每个人猎巫人都有自己的故事,或疯狂,或残忍,或忠贞,不过迭戈目前还没向大家讲过他的故事,罗德相信,这次合作之后,老人的心扉或许会打开一些。„Because the personare too few, wehave the opportunityto be close toVampiretruly. Thisactionmustform a team, rather thanon a grand scalechases down, was worried that startledrunsVampire. The populationare too fewisourweak trends, in the meantime, isouradvantages, at least, the enemywill not take seriouslyus. This is the opportunity.”
“正是因为人太少,我们才有机会真正接近吸血鬼。这次行动之所以要组队,而不是大张旗鼓的来追杀,就是担心惊跑吸血鬼。人数太少是我们的弱势,同时,也是我们的优势,至少,敌人不会重视我们。这便是机会。”Rodexplained.罗德解释到。„Listened tothissayingyouto have the plan of oneself?”
“听这话你已经有自己的计划了?”OldWitch Hunterdrankwine, turns the head, is looking atRod.
老猎巫人喝了一口葡萄酒,转过头来,望着罗德。„No, withoutplan. Myideais, before the Pernotreinforcementsarrive, confirmed that inthiscastleis hidingVampire. Oncesuch, bigUnitarrives, wethencanjustifiablelaunches the searchtothiscastle.”
“没有,没有计划。我的想法是,在皮尔诺的援兵抵达之前,确认这座城堡里藏匿着吸血鬼。那样,一旦大部队抵达,我们便可以名正言顺的对这座城堡展开搜查。”Rodfrownsto speak.罗德皱起眉头说到。„Ideais good, but——is difficult.”
“想法不错,但是——难。”„It is not difficult. After youhave the opportunityis thorough the kitchen, showed that theyhave not been guarding againstyoutruly.”
“不难。你有机会深入后厨,证明他们并没有真正提防着你。”Rodspoke.罗德说到。„But after merelyis the kitchen, downward, will be discoveredagain.”
“但仅仅是后厨,再往下,就会被发现。”Diegreturns.迭戈回到。„Wecantreathere for severaldays , to continue to investigate, so long asthere isVampire the positive evidence that appears and disappearsin the castle, was OK. Rod, youdid not say that the Kislevreinforcementswill arrivequickly?”
“那我们可以在这里多待几天,继续调查,只要有吸血鬼在城堡里出没的直接证据,就可以了。罗德,你不是说基斯里夫的援军很快就会抵达吗?”Yesikveikiinterposed.叶斯科维奇插话进来。„Isquick, it is estimated thatalsoonthese days. Therefore, for these days, wemustbe more careful.”
“是很快,估计也就这几天。所以,这几天内,我们必须小心谨慎一些了。”Rodis replyingheavyheartedly. Thisis the most effectiveplan, is actually not the safestplan. The special period, with the safestplanactuallynot necessarilyis the bestplan. Rodknows, sinceoneselfafter the war of Whispering Woodbecomes famous, thatbloodyIce QueenKatarinhas been staring atoneself. Ifdid not show that in the shortest timeperhapsoneselftoherloyalty, mustliveunder the Queennosein the future, is the difficult matter. But the bestproofmethodisoneselfrecklesslyexecutionherorder, even ifplaces the dangerous situation......罗德忧心忡忡的回答着。这算是最有效的方案,却不是最安全的方案。只是,特殊时期,用最安全的方案其实未必是最好的方案。罗德知道,自从自己在呓语森林之战成名之后,那个血腥的冰雪女王卡特琳娜可是一直在盯着自己。如果不在最短的时间内证明自己对她的忠诚,恐怕将来要在女王眼皮底下活着,也是难事。而最好的证明手段就是自己不顾一切的执行她的命令,哪怕身处险境……Oh, thinks ofhere, Rod cannot help but sighingat heart. The struggle of power, wantsto go on livingreallydifficultly. Erengradthatgroup of people, it is estimated thatalsotosituation of being driven beyond the limits of forbearanceininstead.
唉,想到这里,罗德不由得在心里感叹到。权力的斗争,想活下去真难。厄伦格拉德那帮人,估计也是到了忍无可忍的情况下才反的。

……Indarkroom.
幽暗的房间内。„Youdetermined that tonighttheywill come?”
“你确定今晚他们会来?”Witch Hunterlowered the sound, exhaustspossibly the slightvoicerepeatedlyto confirmwithRod. Hunting for the planisto decidein the eveningtemporarily, thinksin the room a afternoon, Rodfinds outmeans that finallycancatch the evidence. Thatuses the general idea/careless of enemy, insteadcatches the opponent.猎巫人压低了声音,用尽可能细微的嗓音再次与罗德确认。捕猎计划是傍晚临时决定的,在房间里想了一个下午,罗德终于想出可以抓到证据的办法。那就是利用敌人的大意,反捕对手。InCodeword Forthides, from the sewerruns awayfromVampire of that dayVampirealmostcandetermine, andhas the key of seweriron gate, uncoversthatscaryskeletontoDiegin the castleagain, all thesehave been ableto provein the castlefrom one sidehas ghost. Nowtheylack, butis the directproof. The idea of Rodis, so long ascatchesin the castletoVampire, orwith the Vampirerelatedlifeform, theirservantandpuppetanything, canshowindirectly the castleis hiding the monster. ButguessVampirewill take an actionto standintheirstandpointspondered, becausetheyhave known that the huntingteamcame, only thenkills the huntingteam, theycancontinueto hideinthiscastle......暗语堡内潜藏着吸血鬼几乎是可以确定的了,从那天吸血鬼从下水道里逃走,并有下水道铁门的钥匙,再到迭戈在城堡内搜出那骇人的尸骨,这一切已经可以从侧面证明城堡内有鬼。现在他们缺的,不过是直接的证明。罗德的想法是,只要在城堡内逮到一只吸血鬼,或者和吸血鬼有关的生物,他们的仆人、傀儡什么的,就可以直接证明城堡内藏着怪物。而猜测吸血鬼会有所行动是站在他们的立场上思考,因为他们已经知道狩猎队来了,只有杀死狩猎队,它们才能继续藏在这座城堡里……WhatRodis only indefinite, whythis can Lord JameshidetheseVampire? Worshipstheirstrengths, wantsto becomeinthemmember. Howeverthisis unimportanttemporarily.罗德唯一不确定的是,为什么这个詹姆斯领主要藏匿这些吸血鬼?难道是崇拜他们的力量,想成为他们中的一员。不过这暂时不重要了。„Most likely, preparesahead of timewrongnot.”
“十有八九,提前准备准没有错。”RodhelpsWitch Hunterset up the mechanism/organization, whileis gasping for breath the reply.罗德一边帮猎巫人设下机关,一边喘着气回答。„Why don't youinformthatDwarf?”
“那你为什么不通知那个矮人?”Witch Huntercuriousquestioning.猎巫人好奇的追问。„Heis a veryoutstandinglyverybravesoldier, butusedatthis kind of timeis not suitable, toldhim, hewill be excitedonenot to sleepwhole evening, Vampirewas not a fool, theywill detect.”
“他是一个很优秀很勇敢的战士,但是用在这种时候不适合,告诉他,他会兴奋得一整晚不睡觉,吸血鬼不是傻子,他们会察觉出来的。”Rodis sighingto return.罗德叹着气回到。
