„North, thatindeedis a fearfulandcoldplace. The words that your excellency, does not mind, pleasetellme the Northsituation, perhapsthisKingdomhad forgottenthatplace. Howeveras the Kislevperson, weshould notforget.”
“北方,那的确是一个可怕而寒冷的地方。阁下,不介意的话,请告诉我北境的情况吧,这个王国恐怕早已将那个地方忘记。但是作为基斯里夫人,我们不应该忘记。”Lord Medreysitson the fierce appearancebigchair, detailedis chattingwithRod. The charcoal in roomis providing the continuousheat, the flameis intensefrom time to time, from time to timeis weak.梅得里领主坐在虎皮大椅上,跟罗德详聊着。房间内的木炭提供着源源不断的热量,火焰时而强烈,时而微弱。„NorthWall, thatis the pride of Kislevperson, ourancestorstime and time againhad beaten the Chaosintruder, defendedthisworld. However, manyyearspassed by, when the chaos caused by war, North was no longer left uncultivatedslowly. Now, Wallonlyhas the remnants of destroyed buildings, the pastsentryhas also dismissed, disappears without a trace. Northonlyhasa series ofloosefortresses and fortsnow, asresisting the fronts of Beastmanandvariousvariationlifeform. Glory? Is nothing left.”
“北境长城,那是基斯里夫人的骄傲,我们的祖先曾经一次次击败过混沌入侵者,保卫了这个世界。然而,许多年过去了,当战乱不再,北境便慢慢被荒废了。如今,长城只剩下残垣断壁,昔日的哨兵也早已解散,不知去向。北境现在只剩下一系列松散的堡垒和要塞,作为抵挡野兽人和各种变异生物的前线。荣耀?早已荡然无存。”Rodreceived the hotcoffee that Medreyhands over, slightlysippedone , to continue to speak of——罗德接过梅得里递来的热咖啡,小抿了一口,继续说到——„PresentNorth, probablytencastles and forts, respectivelyarewesternBlackhammer Fort, Hyde FortandIronring, centralEyrieandRed Fort...... easternSplitrock Fort...... the troops of thesetenfootholdsaddto have10,000peopleprobably. And the biggestcastleisCount ShirorruleRed Fort. It is saidthatcastlehas3000common soldiers, the iron armorare innumerable, simultaneouslyRed Fort is also the entireNorthwealthiestplace.”
“如今的北境,大概还有十座城堡和要塞,分别是西部的黑锤堡、海德堡、铁环城,中部的鹰巢城、红堡……东部的裂石堡……这十个据点的兵力加起来大概有一万人。其中最大的城堡是希瑞尔伯爵统治的红堡。据说那座城堡拥有三千兵士,铁甲无数,同时红堡也是整个北境最富裕的地方。”„Seeming like the soldierare many, the strengthis also big.”
“看起来士兵不少,实力也不小。”
A smilehangson the face of oldLordMedrey. Hedeadwoodfingergrips the teacup, the white fogis raisingfrom the cupcontinuouslyslowly. The coffeetakes the imported productto be high-cost, the ordinarycivilianshardlyuseto think, aristocrat, cannotdrinkcasually. However, regardingthisSolewindLord, is actually the ordinarything, sneaks a peek atitsstrengthsufficiently.
一丝微笑挂在老领主梅得里的脸上。他枯枝般的手指握住茶杯,缕缕白雾正从杯内缓缓升起。咖啡作为舶来品价格高昂,普通平民几乎不用想,就连贵族,也不是随便可以喝到的。然而,对于这位孤风城领主来说,却是平常之物,足以窥见其实力。„No, were few.

Once the trueChaosregimentinvades, depends onthisperson, at all is not the opponent of Chaosregiment.”
“不,少了。北境作为基斯里夫和帝国最重要的边疆防线,是抵御各种混沌生物的第一道盾牌。如今,这面盾牌只有区区一万人。而且还分散在北境各地。一旦真正的混沌军团入侵,就凭这点人,根本不是混沌军团的对手。”Rodseriousreply.罗德严肃的回答到。„Sir, Blackhammer Fortexpress.”
“大人,黑锤堡急信。”WhenRoddetailedchattedwitharistocratLord of thisnewunderstanding, knight-errantLawrencehanded over a paperhurriedly. Thatisfrom the northernexpress.
正当罗德与这位新认识的贵族领主详聊之时,游侠劳伦斯匆匆忙忙递来了一张纸条。那是来自北方的急信。„Sorry.”
“抱歉。”RodfacingLord Medrey, politespeaking. Afterwardis in front ofhis, opened the paper.罗德面对梅得里领主,礼貌的说到。随后当着他的面,打开了纸条。
The chiefKnightVirgilhandwritingheaves in sight, the letteris so brief, informationveryimportant——Blackhammer Fortis actually in danger, the Norscaregimentdoes not obey the management.
首席骑士维吉尔的笔迹映入眼帘,信件如此简短,信息却十分重要——黑锤堡告急,诺斯卡战团不服从管理。
The Rodcrumb the paper, hehad guessed correctlyat the scenethathelpsNorscannot be goodto manage, buthas not thought that sowill be quick. However, thisnewsactuallyalsogaveRod the excellentreason of returning to the territory.罗德当场捏碎了纸条,他早就猜到了那帮诺斯卡人不好管理,但是没想到会这么快。然而,这则消息却也给了罗德一个返回领地的绝佳理由。In the afternoon, Rodthenrequestedto see right in front of oneQueen Katarin.
当天下午,罗德便要求面见卡特琳娜女王。„RespectableYour HighnessQueen, matterhad been in the situationurgently, leavesBlackhammer Fortinme, goes to hereroad, mysubordinate, thatgroup of mercenariesbetrayedme. Theyoccupy a land areafor the king, declared that oneselfis the Blackhammer Fortking, andrequests the farmerto givethem the protection money, requesting the minerto unearth the oreforthem. Damn, blamedmetooto trusttheminitially. Thesebarbariansreallydamn!”
“尊敬的女王殿下,事情已经到了十万火急的地步,就在我离开黑锤堡,前往这里的路上,我的手下,那帮雇佣军背叛了我。他们占地为王,宣称自己就是黑锤堡的王,并且要求农民给他们保护费,要求矿工替他们挖掘矿石。该死的,都怪我当初太信任他们。这些野蛮人真该死!”Rodis complainingin front ofIce QueenKatarinas far as possible, heis fixing the eyes on the eye of Katarin, is observingherlookin secret. Is good does not seem interestedtosmallBlackhammer Fortbecause ofQueen, in factshehas not been interestedinBlackhammer Fort, withouthas been interestedinRod, shesubpoenaedRodto come to the capital, the reasonwas very simple, because of the Ice Witchmatter. Dannisis a talent, thisisKatarincares.罗德在冰雪女王卡特琳娜面前尽可能的抱怨着,他紧盯着卡特琳娜的眼睛,暗中观察着她的神色。好在女王似乎对小小的黑锤堡并不感兴趣,事实上她也从来没有对黑锤堡感兴趣过,更没有对罗德感兴趣过,她之所以传唤罗德来首都,原因很简单,就是因为霜寒女巫的事。丹尼斯是一个天才,这是卡特琳娜在乎的。As forBlackhammer Fort, Queendoes not watch. Only has50people of castles, inKislev, an ordinaryworkshopcomparesitto be big.
至于黑锤堡,女王根本不看在眼里。一座只有五十人的城堡,基斯里夫城里,一座普通的作坊都比它大。„Barbarian? The Kislevpersonshould nothirethesewild animals, weare the civilizedstates, the barbarianeventuallyis a barbarian, theycoulddevote life toforyoufor a while, butthatis notforever, barbariannotloyal.”
“野蛮人?基斯里夫人不应该雇佣这些野兽,我们是文明国度,野蛮人终究是野蛮人,他们或许可以一时为你效命,但那绝不是永远,野蛮人没有忠诚可言。”„Indeed.”
“的确。”Rodechoes.罗德附和到。„Ok, Iallowedyouto go back, nowgoes back, returns to yourterritory, eradicatedthesemonsters.”
“好了,我准许你回去,现在就回去,回到你的领地上,铲除这些怪物。”

……
After Ice Queensends, Rodwith great speedarrives at the hotel, packed the baggage, preparesto return toBlackhammer Fort.
被冰雪女王打发之后,罗德火速来到旅馆,收拾了行李,准备重新返回黑锤堡。„Lord, makingmehelp, will be quicker.”
“领主,让我来帮忙,会快一些。”„No, Ialsovitaldutiesmustgiveyou.”
“不,我还有一项重要的任务要交给你。”Knight-errantLawrencerequestedto help outside, was actually stoppedbyRod. Hesimpleis packing the baggage, whilespoke of Lawrence- „stillremembers that on that daywethatseniorfarmer who did run into the open country?”
游侠劳伦斯在外面请求进来帮忙,却被罗德制止了。他一边简单的收拾着行李,一边跟劳伦斯说到-“还记得那天我们在野外遇到的那个老农夫吗?”„Un, remembers. Old person who thatdied the son.”
“嗯,记得。那个死了儿子的老人。”„Right, ishe. Ice Pepper that hementioned, Ihave not selected and purchasedwith enough time. Youstay here, choosesonepile of goodIce Pepperseedsto the market, buysthem, andbrings back toBlackhammer Fort. Remember, thismatteronly thenyourIknow,do not mentionwith the third partyagain. Brothers, Ibelieve that youcanachieve.”
“对,就是他。他提到的冰椒,我还没来得及选购。你留在这里,到市场上挑选一堆上好的冰椒种子,买下它们,并带回黑锤堡。记住,这件事只有你我知道,不要再跟第三者说起。兄弟,我相信你可以做到的。”Rodearnestspeaking, andwill purchase the gold and silver coins of Ice Pepperseedto leaveLawrence. The timeat this momentregardingRodissoimportant. Hemusthurry back toBlackhammer Fortat the maximum speed, in the meantime, the purchasework of Lawrencealsorelates to the Blackhammer Fortfuturepromotion.罗德认真的说到,并将采购冰椒种子的金银币留给了劳伦斯。时间此刻对于罗德来说是如此重要。他必须以最快速度赶回黑锤堡,同时,劳伦斯的采购工作也关系到黑锤堡未来的振兴。
After severalminutes, Rodpackedallbaggage, majorityweresometravelnecessarydry rations and clothing, money. Moneyismost important. Goes toBlackhammer FortfromKislevtonorth, thismiddlewill pass throughmanytown and villages, will have the hotel, the tavern, carries the currencyalong, youthencanbe supplementedon the road.
几分钟后,罗德将所有行李收拾好了,大多数是一些旅行必备的干粮和衣物,还有钱。钱是最重要的。从基斯里夫城一路向北前往黑锤堡,这中间会经过许多城镇和村庄,会有旅舍,酒馆,随身携带流通货币,你便可以在路上得到补充。Hebuiltunder the gives a handfinally the shoulder of knight-errantLawrence, againearnestemphasized that withhim——„keepsKislev, untilselecting the finestseed. Blackhammer Fortneedsit.”
他最后搭了搭手下游侠劳伦斯的肩膀,再次认真的跟他强调到——“留在基斯里夫城,直到选出最优良的种子。黑锤堡需要它。”Lawrenceearnestnod. Hehas not disappointed the expectation of oneselfLord, beforewill not have, latercannot.劳伦斯认真的点了点头。他从来没有辜负自己领主的期望,以前不会有,以后也不会。
After leavingKislev, Rodgoes northat high speed, sceneryalong the wayturns into the forestfrom the plain, turns into the plainfrom the forestagain, moreis close toNorth, the temperatureis then lower. The snowflakefellagain, dyed the white the hair. Heremembered the words of official scholar, thisis the spring cold weather. SpringregardingKislev, is a unstableseason, itwill have the rainfall, will have the rainfall, sometimes the rainwaterandsnowingwill even appearalternately. Thisprobablyisbut actually the spring cold weather, Rodthought.
离开基斯里夫城后,罗德一路快马加鞭北上,沿途的风景从平原变成森林,再从森林变成平原,越接近北境,气温便越低。雪花再次落了下来,将头发染成了白色。他想起了大学士的话,这是春寒。春季对于基斯里夫来说,是一个不稳定的季节,它会有降雨,会有降雨,有时雨水和降雪甚至会交替出现。这大概就是倒春寒吧,罗德心想。
