Aren't manypeoplein the revelry, what kind ofexperiencetheyableto imagine and Lordequal divisionspoils of warare? The exhilaration that only thiseveryoneparticipates is firstmeeting.
按照罗德之前的约定,只要在战争中有投入的人,战争结束后都有利益可分。许多人在狂欢,他们无法想象和领主平分战利品是一种怎样的体验?光光这种人人参与的兴奋感就是第一次遇到。Before, in the territoryhad the war, escaping that the aristocratsescaped, the civilians can only hideimplore the warto passat homeearlier. At the present, Rodcompletelychangedthiscondition. The peopleno longerare the truants of war, butis the participant. Thisisdifferenceessentially, theyandLordaltogetheronset and retreat, because a warrelates to the interestsseveral thousandpeople of pocket.
以前,领地上有战事,贵族们逃的逃,平民们只能躲在家里祈求战争早点过去。而今,罗德彻底改变了这种状态。民众不再是战争的逃避者,而是参与者。这是本质上的不同,他们与领主共进退,因为一场战争关系到数千人口袋里的利益。Butsomepeople, inregrettingandinenvyingare tossed. Theysee, is others'joyfulfacial expression, butoneselfhas not actually participatedahead of time. The Norscatribe, the northintruder, is not fearful! Theyare regretting, did not have the regret after the fact.
而有些人,则在后悔和羡慕中辗转难眠。他们看到的,皆是别人喜悦的神情,而自己却没有提前参与。诺斯卡部落,北方入侵者,并没有那么可怕嘛!他们后悔着,却没有后悔药了。„Have youseen the socrazypeople?”
“你见过如此疯狂的民众吗?”Standsin the balcony in ownvilla, the looks atwhole citydelightedcrowd, oldaristocratQualalyafrowns.

站在自家别墅的阳台上,看着满城欢喜的人群,老贵族夸雷亚拉不禁皱起了眉头。自从他被阿尔维斯骗到这里以来,罗德的做法一次次刷新他的三观。先是各种不一样的新制度,新做法,然后是各种大建设。似乎整个小镇每天都有忙不完的工程。事实也的确如此,短短一年间,大坝修起来了,道路修起来了,小镇的新城区规划得整整齐齐,剧院、球场、图书馆、学院、监狱、桥梁……各种设施一应俱全,除了规模不够,其他方面都快赶上首都基斯里夫了。Butoneselfbenefit, althoughinbeating a Lahmwarhas lost, butlong-termlater, acquiredincomecompared withmany of incomewhenKislev. Has saying that oneselfcameright the enemy side. Is the poweris limited, thisis slightly uncomfortable. Howevercompared the colleaguesinthesepast, Qualalyathought that oneselfwas lucky.
而自己的利益,虽说在击垮拉海姆一战中有所损失,但是长期下来,获得的收益还是比在基斯里夫城时收益的更多。不得不说,自己来对了敌方。就是权力受限制,这点稍微不舒服。不过相比于那些昔日里的同僚,夸雷亚拉觉得自己还算幸运的。„No, inIthirtyyears of lifestories, thisisfirstseeing.”
“没有,在我三十几年的人生阅历里,这还是第一次见。”YoungaristocratSykjadsitson the sofaspeaks of——
年轻的贵族斯卡加德坐在沙发椅上说到——„Perhapsweshouldbelieveearlierhis.”
“我们或许应该早点相信他的。”„YousayRod?”
“你是说罗德?”„Whobesideshim can also? Isthatdwarf?”
“除了他还会有谁?难道是那个侏儒吗?”„Perhapsperhaps, yourIshouldinvesthim, Rod, is in itself an object who is worthinvesting.”
“或许吧,或许你我应该投资他,罗德,本身就是一个值得投资的对象。”Qualalyafrom the balcony, took up the water glass on table, sucked inwine.夸雷亚拉从阳台上走了进来,拿起桌上的玻璃酒杯,吮吸了一口葡萄酒。„Un, Ialsothinklike this.”
“嗯,我也这样认为。”Sykjadechoes.斯卡加德附和到。„But, Iam worried aboutanotherissue.”
“不过,我在担心另一个问题。”Qualalyaknitting the browshead.夸雷亚拉皱了皱眉头。„Whatissue?”
“什么问题?”„Katarin.

“卡特琳娜。基斯里夫城的事我们都知道,为了弥补厄伦格拉德叛乱造成的财政亏空,我们这位冰雪女王可谓手腕残忍,多少人被她以各种罪名处死,其实不过就是为了他们的财产而已。黑锤堡的快速发展我想它大概也快引起女王的注意了。如果你我想投资罗德的话,势必要考虑到冰雪女王对他造成的威胁。你知道的,太耀眼了并不是一件什么好事。”Experienced and carefulQualalyareadsilently.
老谋深算的夸雷亚拉默默念到。

……Yiabercatches up withbigUnittime, theyare surmounting a precipitousmountain. The mountain massifcompletelyby the rock and ice piececonstitution of solid ice, the precipicethousandchi (0.33 m), seems a tall wall that is constitutedby the coldice and giant stoneto be common. It is difficult to imagine, the Seafang Clanremainingpeople must surmountthismountain, amongthemalmosthalfare the old person and child.贾贝尔追上大部队的时候,他们正在翻越一座险峻的高山。山体全部由坚冰的岩石和冰块构成,绝壁千尺,好似一堵由寒冰和巨石构成的高墙一般。很难想象,海牙氏族剩下的人还要翻越这座高山,他们中间几乎一半是老人和孩子。
The strong windsblow the flying snow, sends outgiant beastroaring. FormsWinds of Death that will never stand stillin the summit.
狂风吹起飞雪,发出巨兽般的咆哮。在山顶形成永不停歇的死亡之风。„Stops! Stop! Were youinsane? Thismountainis unable to surmount!”
“停下!停下!你们都疯了吗?这座山根本无法翻越!”ElderYiaberis riding the pack horse of Kislevperson, rushed to front ofbigUnit. Newclanleaderstunnedlooks athe......
长老贾贝尔骑着基斯里夫人的驮马,冲到了大部队前面。新的氏族带头人一脸错愕的看着他……„Uncle, did youchange the mind?”
“叔父,你改变主意了?”
The youngleaderis shoutingtoYiaber. The wind and snowwreak havoc, covered the sound that the personspokemost probably. Actuallycanseeonhisfacevaguely the pleasantly surprisedexpression.
年轻的带头人对着贾贝尔喊到。风雪肆虐,将人说话的声音都掩盖了大半。却依稀可以看到他脸上惊喜的表情。„Yes, Ichanged the mind, Imuststopyouto surmountthismountain.”
“是的,我改变主意了,我要制止你们翻越这座山。”Yiabertook off the oneselffur hat, pantingis saying. Hisbreathchanges to the white fogin the severely coldair, divergesrapidly.贾贝尔摘下自己的皮帽,气喘吁吁的说着。他的呼吸在严寒的空气中化作白雾,迅速散去。„Did youfind a betterroadto makeusgo to the inland?”
“那你找到更好的路可以让我们前往内陆?”
The youngleaderasked. HeisYiabernephewTak, his fatheronemonth ago follows the Greytyrarmyto go southtogether, laterhas not then come backagain. Shouldsay, so long asperson who followsGreytyrto go south, afterwardhad not come back. But, Taklifts upto lead the heavy responsibility of clansman. Whenheard the Kislevallied armieshit, Takhas tolead the clansmanto take the path in vagrantanother region. Becauseheknows,allSeafang Clanpeopleknowhow the Kislevpersontreatsdefeat. Theydo not give vent to indignation the defeatslaughter, sellsto be the slavethem. For a lot ofyears, continuouslyso.
年轻的带头人问到。他是贾贝尔的侄子塔克,他的父亲一个月前跟着格雷提尔的大军一起南下,之后便再也没回来。应该说只要跟着格雷提尔南下的人,后来都没有回来。无奈之下,塔克扛起领导族人的重任。当听说基斯里夫联军打过来的时候,塔克不得不带领族人走上流浪他乡的道路。因为他知道,所有海牙氏族的人都知道基斯里夫人是如何对待战败者的。他们不是将战败者屠杀泄愤,就是将他们贩做奴隶。千百年来,一直如此。„Yes.”
“是的。”„Right? Toldmequickly, Imakethemstopnow!”
“是吗?快告诉我,我现在就让他们停下!”Inwind and snow, Takgreat shoutasking.
风雪中,塔克大声呼喊着问到。„The onlyroad, goes back, returns toDragonbone Port. Ihave negotiatedwithLeader of Kislevperson, heis willingto makeuscontinueto treatin the village. And, will not enslave, slaughtersus. So long aswehand over the weapon.”
“唯一的路,就是回去,回到龙骨港。我已经和基斯里夫人的首领交涉过了,他愿意让我们继续待在村子里。并且,不会奴役,屠杀我们。只要我们交出武器。”Yiaberis shoutingreturn. Wind and snowdishevelhishair, dyedpallidlyhisbrow and beard.贾贝尔大喊着回到。风雪吹乱了他的头发,将他的眉头和胡须都染得煞白。„Believessouth one condition of man? The uncle, were youinsane?”
“相信一个南方佬的条件?叔父,你疯了吗?”Takapproached, heis staring at the oneselfuncle. Yiaberas the Seafang Clanelder, hascertainright to speak and loftypositionin the tribe. However, the clancompanions who at this moment, theseflee from calamityactuallyno oneliketo believehiswords. The concept that for several hundredyearskeeptoldthem, the Kislevpersonwill never show mercyto the northernperson. Theyfoughtover a hundredyears of war, has not given the captiveonetimewith the dignity. Let alonemakesthemcontinue the originallife.塔克走近了过来,他盯着自己的叔父。贾贝尔身为海牙氏族的长老,在部落里拥有一定的发言权和崇高的地位。然而,此刻,这些逃难的氏族同伴却没有人愿意相信他的话。几百年来留下来的观念告诉他们,基斯里夫人从来不会对北方的人手下留情。他们打了上百年的仗,从来没有一次给俘虏以尊严。更别说让他们继续过原来的生活。„No, Inotinsane. Believesme, Tak, wehave no alternative, choseto stay behindlikemeinitially. Dragonbone Portisourgenerationlifeplace. WithoutDragonbone Port, where can wego to? The Empirepersonhatesus, the westerntribeeyes covetouslytous, the inlandcannotgo. TherehasVarg ClanandGraeling Clan, theyandwild animalsnotdifferent. Meanwhile, the environment of inlandareabrutalisyourI not unimaginable. Theseclans, theyhunt and kill the giant beastto makefood, can we?”
“不,我没疯。相信我,塔克,我们别无选择,就像我当初选择留下一样。龙骨港是我们世代生活的地方。没了龙骨港,我们能去哪里?帝国人憎恨我们,西边的部落对我们虎视眈眈,内陆更不能去。那里有瓦格氏族和盖尔林氏族,他们和野兽无异。同时,内陆地区的环境残酷是你我所无法想象的。那些氏族,他们猎杀巨兽做食物,我们可以吗?”Yiaberholds the shoulderroar of Takto——贾贝尔抓住塔克的肩膀吼到——„Has a look atthismountain, ouritcould not conquer, let aloneconqueredthesegiant beasts. Hunts and killsthemlike the learned, wecannot survive. The Varg Clanpersonwill not forgiveus. Becausewesnatchedtheirfood. Regardless ofwhichwearrive, threatenstootherclans.”
“看看这座高山,我们连它都征服不了,更别说去征服那些巨兽。就像学会猎杀它们,我们也生存不下来。瓦格氏族的人绝不会饶了我们。因为我们抢了他们的食物。我们无论走到哪,对其他氏族都是威胁。”„Iknow,suchsituationyourIknowinitially, butremainsonly to wait for death.”
“我知道,这样的情况当初你我都知道,但是留下来只会是等死。”Takis refutingloudly. Whentwo peopletalked, severalpeople, becausewas weak, whenclimbed up the dike the fallingcliff dead. YoungnewLeader can only desperatelooks atthis scene, not have the meansat present.塔克大声反驳着。就在两人交谈的时候,又有几个人因为体力不支,在攀爬岩墙的时候坠崖身亡。年轻的新首领只能绝望的看着眼前这一幕,却毫无办法。„Nowwas different. Leader of Kislevpersonallowsusto continuein the originalplace. So long asweturn inallweapons, andannounced that submits.”
“现在不同了。基斯里夫人的首领允许我们继续住在原来的地方。只要我们上缴所有的武器,并宣布臣服。”„Damn, theirwordsare not trustworthy! Ifwego back, I ensure hefirstwill ambushuson the road.”
“该死的,他们的话不值得信任!如果我们回去,我保证他第一时间会在路上伏击我们。”Takstubbornroar. The education that hehastoldhim, the southmenwere not trustworthy. Regardingthem, only thenspokeby the axe.塔克固执的吼到。他受过的教育告诉他,南方佬都不值得信任。对于他们,只有靠斧头说话。„Butdoes not go backus the same as die. Has a look at the presentsituation, even ifGodspitiesus, makinginusfew peoplesuccessfullysurmountthismountain. After surmounting ? How manypeople does Seafang Clanalsoremain?

“但是不回去我们一样会死。看看现在的情况,就算诸神怜悯我们,让我们中的一部分人成功翻越了这座高山。翻越过去以后呢?海牙氏族还剩多少人?我们怎么面对高山背后那些狂怒的巨兽和瓦格部族的猎杀?”Yiaberroarsloudly. If the two sidesaredesperate, heratherchoosesto believeRod, hope that at leastthatroadalsosurvives. Butthisroad, absolutelywas the road of death......贾贝尔大声吼到。如果两边都是绝望,那他宁可选择相信罗德,至少那条路还有一丝生存下去的希望。而这条路,绝对是死亡之路……
