穿过茫茫大森林,走过荒无人烟的冰冻苔原,翻越大雪山,当罗德一行人抵达独龙城时,已经是三周后的事了。基斯里夫以北的自然环境是如此恶劣,以至于地图上并不遥远的距离实际路程却是十分漫长。同样的距离换做是在首都基斯里夫城附近的大道上行走,只需要一周的时间,而北上的队伍却足足走了三周。好在,终于还是抵达了。Lonedragonin the hills, the timepasses, from Rodarrives atthisDwarffort for the first time had passed for 78years. The people are no longer the same, onlyinvariable, isas beforetenaciousLonedragon. Ingroup, only thenShibeisand othersmall numbers of peoplehave not seenLonedragon. WhenBogortoldthem, when thiswas a city, theydo not believe. When the guardallows to pass, when through the giantfortcorridortoward the lower levelwalks, ShibeisandBear Knightshave tobelieve,thisis a truebigcity.独龙城就在群山之中,时光流逝,距离罗德第一次来到这座矮人要塞时已经过去了七八年。物是人非,唯一不变的,是依旧顽强的独龙城。一行人中,只有西贝斯等少数人没有见过独龙城。当博古尔告诉他们,这是一座城市时,他们并不相信。而当卫兵放行,通过巨大的要塞走廊往下层走时,西贝斯和熊骑士们才不得不相信,这是一座真真正正的大城市。Outsideworld of ice and snow, the cold windhowls, butin the mountain is very warm, morewalkstoward the lower level , the temperatureis higher, with the drop of elevator, Shibeisand the othersstartedto feeldry and hot, theyfelt the heatfromflame, the collisionsound of steelandstonewaslingering on faintly......
外面冰天雪地,寒风呼啸,而山内却十分温暖,越往下层走,温度越高,随着升降梯的下降,西贝斯等人开始感到了燥热,他们感受到了来自火焰的热量,钢铁与石头的碰撞声更是不绝于耳……ButRodhas been unalarmed by strange sights, hisfamiliar and easytaking the lead. The presentallhave not changed, hollowmountain massif, layer upon layerdownwardcity. BusyDwarfandsomeare shuttling back and forthin the narrowstreetfromnorthernNorscan.
而罗德对此早已是见怪不怪,他轻车熟路的走在前面。眼前的一切都没有改变,中空的山体,层层向下的城市。忙碌的矮人和一些来自北方的诺斯卡人在狭窄的街道中穿梭着。Rodthoughtfirstto see right in front of oneLonedragonLordSogaard. HoweveroldLordas iftoo„care”thisgroup of partners who camefrom the south, did not havefirstofficiallyto meet, butfirstletgiveRodonegroup to arrange the lodgingshand/subordinate. The nightarrives atbarleisure, next daydiscussedagain.罗德原本想第一时间面见独龙城领主索加德。但是老领主似乎太“关心”这群从南方来的伙伴了,并没有第一时间正式会见,而是先让手下给罗德一行人安排住宿。夜里到酒吧休闲一番,第二天再谈。Rodis somewhat impatient, butis useless, the thing that Dwarvesrecognizesshould better notto changeit, theirconceptsare more stubborn than the rock, tryto changeDwarf, is more difficult than the meltingrock. The journeyis in any case tired, Rodthenaccepts the arrangement, firststays a evening, rests.罗德有些心急,但是没用,矮人们认定的东西最好不要去改变它,他们的观念比磐石还要顽固,试图改变矮人,比熔化岩石还要难。反正旅途劳累,罗德便接受安排,先住下一晚,休息一下。Night, shouldsayhere, does not have the so-callednight, during the daytime is like the night. Incave, only then the ray of flame, butdoes not have the ray of Sun. Then the DwarfguideafterRodonegroup of put down the baggageleadsthisgroup of peopleto go to the bar areajoyfully. According to requirement, the guidehas wrapped a nextentirebar, usesfor the distinguished guests who thesecome from far away. Yes, distinguished guest. RegardingDwarves, thesetreatsincerely, andhas helpedtheirpeople, is the distinguished guest. Butthesehave the largesttradepersonwiththem, actuallynot necessarilyis.
夜里,应该说在这里,没有所谓的黑夜,白天和夜晚都是一样的。山洞里,只有火焰的光芒,而没有太阳的光芒。矮人向导在罗德一行人放下行李后便欣然带着这帮人前往酒吧区。按照要求,向导早已包下一整间酒吧,供这些远道而来的贵宾们使用。是的,贵宾。对于矮人们来说,那些真诚相待,并且帮助过他们的人来说,就是贵宾。而那些与他们有着最大规模贸易往来的人,却未必是。In the fireplace in barburns downjustprosperously, the Dwarfstrong liquormade the people in journeyfeelwarm. Is the honeycake that the Blackhammer Fortpersonprepares, roasts the ham and wildporkspecially, letsSartandShibeisonegroup of peoplefeelscomfortable. Thisis the flavor, is roasting the flamein the warmroom, is eating the meat, is drinking the young wine, is huggingthreetwobeautifullittle girlsagain, the most beautifullifeis mediocre. The Dwarfroomis not spacious, standsto withstand/top the roofquickly, thisis the onlyinsufficiency. Howeverin front ofgood foodandhotliquor, was notanything.
酒吧里的壁炉内火烧得正旺,矮人烈酒则让旅途中的人们感到了久违的暖和。专门为黑锤堡的人准备的蜂蜜蛋糕、烤火腿、野猪肉,则让塞尔塔和西贝斯一群人倍感舒适。这才是久违的味道,在温暖的房间内烤着小火,吃着肉,喝着小酒,再抱着三两个美妞,最美生活不过如此。只是,矮人的房间并没有那么宽敞,站起来就快顶到屋顶,这是唯一的不足。但是在美食和热酒面前,也算不上什么了。
After being stewed to the gillslonely, next morning, Rodwill go to the hall, met with Lord Sogaard.
伶仃大醉后,第二天早上,罗德才独自一人前往大厅,与索加德领主见面。Severalyearshave not seen, Rodonlythought that frontLonedragonGreat Lord was also oldseveralpoints, hisbeard and hairwere whiter, is paler than the impression. Exhausted of being able hardly be removedwriteson the face, onlyinvariable, isthatfieryeye, is still firm and resolute. Castle that alsosuch asheprotects, rock-solid.
几年没见,罗德只觉得面前的独龙城大领主又苍老了几分,他的胡须和头发更白了,比印象中更加苍白。挥之不去的疲惫写在脸上,唯一不变的,是那双炯炯有神的眼睛,依旧坚毅。亦如他守护的城堡,坚如磐石。„Rod, wewere the old friends, lookedin the share of old friend, Iurgedyourone, yourplanwas too crazy. Definitelydoes not needto make such adventurousaction. Youhavemanychoices, actuallychoosesthisriskiestaction. HowfrostDragonisin a lifeformyourpresentminddoes not have the concept.

EvenourDwarfexploring partymustdreadthreepoints, let aloneyounowthissituation, yourhand/subordinatethatgroup of peopleregarding the fightareveryexperienced, butcopes withfrostDragon, Icansayunrestrained/no trace of politeness——they, includingyou, areonegroup of novices.”
“罗德,我们是老朋友了,看在故友的份上,我劝你一句,你的计划太疯狂了。完全没有必要做这么冒险的行动。你有很多选择,却偏偏选这条最冒险的行动。冰霜巨龙是怎么一种生物你现在脑海中毫无概念。甚至你都没见过它。你根本不知道那家伙有多恐怖,多危险。连我们矮人探险队都要畏惧三分,更何况你现在这种情况,你手下那帮人对于战斗是十分老练,但是对付冰霜巨龙,我可以毫不客气的说——他们,包括你,就是一群新手。”„looks atI, Ido not speak incorrectlylike this? How many do youknowaboutfrostDragon? Youknow where theyappear and disappear, prey onwhat, what are the living habits? Do theseyouknow? Ifyoudo not know why youthinkyoudo leadthisgroup of people able the battuetoit?”
“不要这样看着我,难道我说错了吗?你对冰霜巨龙了解多少?你知道它们在哪里出没,捕食什么,生活习性是什么?这些你知道吗?如果你不知道,你凭什么认为你带领这帮人可以追猎到它?”
The meetingis smoothis not smooth, LonedragonGreat LordSogaardperseveringholdshas the graciousness to report, the principle that the enthusiasmreceives callersreceivedRod. Theyare exchanging greetings, mutuallysending regards, whentalks about the subject, Sogaardhas the opposition. Hehas10,000reasonsto opposeRod.
会见即顺利又不顺利,独龙城大领主索加德・坚守者秉着有恩必报,热情会客的原则接待了罗德。他们寒暄着,互相问候着,但是谈及主题时,索加德却持反对态度。他有一万个理由反对罗德。Just likeDwarf, asNorthGreat Lord, Rod, oncematter that is determined to do, thenhas not turned head. ThismakesSogaardfeel headache.
只是,和矮人一样,作为北境大领主,罗德一旦下定决心要做的事,便没有回头。这着实让索加德倍感头疼。„Butthere areyourhelp, Ithink that the difficultywill be smaller.”
“但是有你们的帮助,我想困难会小很多。”FacingaggressiveLonedragonLord, Rodis smilingreturn.
面对咄咄逼人的独龙城领主,罗德只是微笑着回到。Itboasts shamelesslySogaardsomewhatto be even accidental, hehas seenmanyhuman, butdirect the person first likeRodsees. HoweverthisfrankcharacterDwarflikesactually. In additionRodthese wordsactuallyalsoincompetent of indirectboastsDwarf, Sogaard, althoughisLord, does not likelistening to the flattery the words, but why does not know, these wordssayfromthishumanmouthat present, the feelingmoreis real. Becauseheindeedneeds the helpsupport of Dwarfexploring party.
其大言不惭连索加德都有些意外,他见过不少人类,但是像罗德这样直接的人还是头一回见。不过这直爽的性格倒是矮人喜欢的。加上罗德这番话其实也在间接夸矮人的能干,索加德虽为领主,不喜欢听奉承的话,但是不知道为什么,这句话从眼前这个人类口中说出,却感觉倍加真实。因为他的确需要矮人探险队的帮助支援。„You...... good...... Idefinitelyto helpyou, in recent years, yousellaccording to the cost priceinLonedragonIce Pepper, youattack fiercelyGreenskinforourDwarf, thesebenevolenceIremember. inemotioninreason, Iwill helpyou. Oh.”
“你……好吧……我肯定会帮你,这些年来,你按成本价售于独龙城的冰椒,还有你替我们矮人痛击绿皮,这些恩情我都记得。于情于理,我都会帮你。唉。”Sogaardsighs, actuallyhehas preparedto support the humanUnit, but, hopes that canconvinceRodas far as possible, butseems like, regardless ofoneselfsaid that anythingwas useless. Eachmatter that theseyear of Roddo can only provetruth——heis a lunatic.索加德叹了一口气,其实他早已准备好支援人类的部队,只是,希望可以尽可能说服罗德,但是看上去是无论自己说什么都没用了。这些年罗德所干的每件事只能证明一个道理——他是疯子。„Iwill organizeoneto hunt fordragonDui, makingthemleadyouto go north. However, even the Dwarfhunter, manyyearshas not hunted and killed the frostdragon. Therefore, Ionlyprovide the team, as forcancapture and kill the frostdragonfinally, Icannotguarantee,I can only prayyoucanlive.”
“我会组织一支猎龙队,让他们带着你们北上。但是,即便是矮人猎手,也很多年没有猎杀到冰霜龙了。所以,我只提供队伍,至于能不能最终捕杀冰霜龙,我可不敢保证,我只能祈祷你们可以活着回来。”Sogaardis sighing, onhisoldcheeks the wrinkleproliferates, the lookdrifts from place to place, as ifrecalled that theseremoteyears, years that thesehisclansmenandChaosarmybattles, frostDragon...... similarlyis the nightmare that Dwarvesis not willingto recall.索加德叹息着,他苍老的脸颊上皱纹遍布,眼神飘忽不定,似乎回想起了那些遥远的岁月,那些他的族人们和混沌大军作战的岁月,冰霜巨龙……同样是矮人们不愿回想的噩梦。
