昏暗的灯光下,男人们脱光了上衣,露出大汗淋漓的背脊,坐在中央的酒桌旁,将一杯杯劣质啤酒灌入嘴里,大声和身边的同伴谈笑。穿着暴露的侍女穿插与酒桌之间,给客人满上酒杯。Helooked all aroundundersituationslightly, thenfound an owngoal--small fellowto sitin the cornercommonplace, before histable, is suspendingwitheredWild Rose.
他稍微环顾了下情况,便找到了自己的目标——一名小个子坐在角落不起眼的地方,他的桌前摆着一朵枯萎的野蔷薇。

A personattaches, a persontakes care , the blackstreetMouseconventionact, this and Tasacognitiontallies.
一人接头,一人照应,黑街老鼠们的惯例行径,这和塔萨的认知相吻合。„Comesonecupagain,”hewaits onto shouttoward the liquor, „ice.”
“再来一杯,”他朝酒侍喊道,“冰的。”„Sir, ices the beerpriceto turntime,”liquorwaits on the reminderto say.
“先生,冰啤酒价格翻倍,”酒侍提醒道。Tasalosessilver royal, „the iceis better.”塔萨丢出一枚银狼,“越冰越好。”Is carryingraisingintermittentwhite fogwine cup, hearrives at the small fellowopposite, falls on the beerneartableWild Rose. Ice-coldliquorwaterfollowingshrinking the flower petal of volumeflows, opposite partyraised head, a faceis impatient, „liquorwelldoes not drink, falls on the table, whatinsanity do yousend?”
端着升起阵阵白雾的酒杯,他走到小个子对面,将啤酒倒在桌边的野蔷薇上。冰冷的酒水顺着缩卷的花瓣流淌而过,对方抬起头,一脸不耐烦,“好好的酒不喝,倒在桌上,你发什么疯?”„RespectsRose,”Tasasmiled, sits downinhisopposite, „Ilooked foryoufor a long time.”
“敬蔷薇,”塔萨笑了笑,在他对面坐下,“我找你们好久了。”„That can only show that youhave not lookedto the direction,”hisill-humoredsay/way, „, sinceis the customer...... Then, whatmatterasksmeto have? Asked that the clue, steals the thing, to buy off the lost object, disposes stolen goods?”
“那只能证明你没找对方向,”他没好气道,“既然是顾客……说吧,找我有什么事?问线索、偷东西、赎买失物,还是销赃?”„It is not, Ihope that youcanhelpmespreadrumor.”
“都不是,我希望你们能帮我扩散一条流言。”„Thisnotin the Rosebusiness scope.”Heshakes the head.
“这可不在蔷薇的业务范围内。”他摇摇头。„Not, so long asgold royalcanpay, youwill be interested,”Tasawaves the handto point out that „Iam not the layman, the young fellow. Sometimes, toletpreyswallows the bait, needsartificiallyto makesomebaits, butrumoris the bestfish food, does not have the evidence, is unable to seize. Thisstealing the thingmayprobablybe safer.”
“不不不,只要金龙能支付的,你们都会感兴趣,”塔萨摇着手指道,“我可不是外行人,小伙子。有时候,为了让猎物上钩,需要人为制造一些诱饵,而流言就是最好的饵料,没有证据,也无从抓捕。这比偷东西可要安全多了。”„Sounds is very as if reasonable,” the opposite partysits the body, shows a smiling face, „before you, has entrustedRose?”
“听起来似乎很有道理,”对方坐正身体,露出一丝笑容,“你以前也委托过蔷薇?”
„ Has entrustedyourcolleagues, smallplace. Nameyousoare inelegant, the competentmatterare not many. „
“委托过你们的同行,小地方的。名字没你们这么文雅,能干的事也不多。“„Business scopetoosmallwords, were very difficultto find the appropriatebusiness, Silver Light City, the competitionwas really fierce.”Hetook upWild Roseto flingflinging, afterwardput in ownpocket, „saidto look,whatrumoryoudo needto disseminate?”
“业务范围太小的话,很难找到合适的生意,银光城嘛,竞争实在激烈。”他拿起野蔷薇甩了甩,随后放入自己的衣兜内,“说说看,你需要传播什么样的流言?”„The relatedwitchnews,”Tasasmiled, „an organization of namedCooperation AssociationsoughtHoly MountaininWestern Region, got rid of the pain of demonic bite, obtained the eternalpeace.”
“有关女巫的消息,”塔萨笑了笑,“一个名为共助会的组织在西境寻得了圣山,已摆脱邪魔噬体之苦,获得了永恒的安宁。”„Friend, thisnewsmaysuffice...... small fellowto smack the lipsreally”, „suffices the bumpkin. HowalthoughIlittleinstigate the customerto deceive people, butyourthisrumorat least must arrangeslightlymakespeoplethinkcredible. Letmeguess, ifyoutonot abductwitch, thenwantsto bury aliveChurch.

Althoughtheyare bringingGod Punishment Stone, butthesewomenare not the idiots.”
“老兄,这消息可真够……”小个子咂咂嘴,“真够老土的。虽然我很少教唆顾客怎么骗人,但你这流言至少也得编得稍微让人觉得可信点吧。让我猜猜,你如果不是为了诱拐女巫,那么就是想坑杀教会。后者你只会等到一堆审判军把你送上绞刑架,所以我想应该是前者……”他露出一个猥琐的笑容,“可惜据我所知,想要抓捕女巫卖钱的,大多都死了。尽管他们都带着神罚之石,但那些女人也不是白痴。”„Whymay not believe?”Tasacurioussay/way.
“为什么不可信?”塔萨好奇道。„The organization that is formedbywitch, simplyismoon in nighttime sky. Ifitreal, Churchdefinitelywill come in swarms, ifIamwitch, naturallycannotcollecttowardthatplace, ifitis false, Ido not need. As forgetting rid ofdemonic bite, Friend, youareearnest? witchisDevilincarnation, thisgross inventiononlyfeared that theywill snort contemptuously.”
“一个由女巫组建的组织,简直就是夜空中的月亮。如果它是真的,教会肯定会蜂拥而至,如果我是女巫,自然不会往那种地方凑,如果它是假的,那我就更没有必要去了。至于摆脱邪魔噬体,老兄,你是认真的吗?女巫是魔鬼的化身耶,这种弥天大谎只怕她们自己都会嗤之以鼻。”„Thatpressesthisviewto pass on,”Tasathinks littleto say.
“那就按这个说法传出去吧,”塔萨不以为意道。„Customerdecides,”small fellowshrugs, „Ihave remindedyouin any case. cost20gold royal.”
“顾客说了算嘛,”小个子耸耸肩,“反正我提醒过你了。费用20枚金龙。”„Did onetimegiveclear?”
“一次给清?”„Right, Rosedoes not takedeposit, does not conclude the funds.”Helets go saying that „businessalldepending onvoluntary.”
“没错,蔷薇不取订金,也不收尾款。”他摊手道,“买卖全凭自愿。”Tasasighed, pulled out a leather bagfrom the pocket, fell on19gold royal the table, heldsilver royal of nailsizefrom the belt-bag, selected100, advancednearby the small fellow. The latterhas only distinguishedunder the gold royaltruth, entirelyhas swept into the cloth sack.塔萨叹了口气,从衣兜里掏出一个皮囊,将19枚金龙倒在桌上,又从腰包里抓住一把指甲大小的银狼,点出100枚,推到小个子跟前。后者只辨别了下金龙的真伪,就统统扫进了布袋里。Receivesmoney, the expression of small fellowwas also more relaxed, the matter that „Rosecomplies with, littlehas unable to achieve. Beforehad not toldyou, the Silver Light Citycompetitionwas really fierce, ifhad the matter that deceived the customer, ourprestigewill also drop. Ifyousharplyare not hurrying back to the fish of Western Regionwaitingswallowing the bait, cantreatagainhereseveraldays, how longcould not want, youcanhearthisnewsto pass oneverywhere.”
拿到钱,小个子的表情也轻松了许多,“蔷薇答应的事,很少有做不到的。之前不是告诉过你了吗,银光城竞争实在激烈,如果发生欺骗顾客的事,我们声誉也会下降的。如果你不急着赶回西境等待上钩之鱼,可以再在这里待个几天,要不了多久,你就能听到这则消息传得到处都是了。”„Alsowill pass to the witchesear?”
“也会传到女巫们耳朵里吗?”„Thatisnatural, but are theywillingto goto regard as another matter. In brief, wishyouto succeed, catchesoneto sell toChurch to return to the itself, sold to the noblewordsto earn. Naturally, ifyoucould not find the way of letting go, alsofeared that was discoveredbyChurch, when the time comescanlook forus, weonlycollect10%referral fees.”
“那是当然,不过她们愿不愿意去就另当别论了。总之,祝你成功,抓到一个卖给教会就能回本,卖给贵族的话赚得更多。当然,如果你找不到脱手的途径,又怕被教会发现,到时候可以来找我们,我们只收一成的介绍费。”
The small fellowshit a soundto refer, take the cloth sackto leave. Before long, the guy who thatis responsible fortaking care ofalsosets outto leave. Waitedto make the quarter of an hour, in the TasaCaiJiangcupremainingliquordrinks up, makes a belch, goes out of the tavern.
小个子打了个响指,提着布袋离开了。不一会儿,那名负责照应的大汉也跟着起身离开。等了约一刻钟,塔萨才将杯中剩下的酒一口喝完,打了个嗝儿,走出酒馆。Duty that then, Your HighnessRolandassignshas been accomplished, hethinks.

如此一来,罗兰殿下交代的任务就算完成了,他想。坠龙岭、赤水城、银光城他都跑了个遍,找到当地的黑街老鼠们,将消息散播出去——每一个城市都有混迹在阴暗角落里的群体,甚至在领主的默许下,他们会形成一个有序而隐蔽的组织,就连灰堡王都也不例外。他们所能做的事远比敞开说的那些要多,至于具体做到何种程度主要取决于顾客金龙的多寡。Thismatteronlydifficultylies in Mousemakes contact with the line, has saying that oneselfpeople from other place, wantto win the trust of opposite partyarequitedifficult, wasthatextraenigmatic languagehas only spenthismore thanfivegold royal. Tasais saying with emotionat heart, if no similarexperiencewhenKingdom Capital, onlyfearedownpresenthas not gone out ofFallen Dragon Ridge.
这事唯一的难点就在于和老鼠搭上线,不得不说,自己一个外地人,想要获得对方的信任还是颇为困难的,光是那句搭头隐语就花了他不下五枚金龙。塔萨在心里感慨道,如果不是在王都时就有类似经验,只怕自己现在还没走出坠龙岭。Walksonreturning to the road in hotel, herealizedatmosphere that has not suited.
走在回旅馆的路上,他察觉到了一丝不对劲的气氛。Oneselfwere tracked.
自己被跟踪了。Although the opposite partydoesverycovertly, butas the specializedguard, Tasarealizedexistence of opposite party. Hefishes out the dagger of waist, turns the alley in nearby.
尽管对方做得很隐蔽,但身为专业侍卫,塔萨还是察觉到了对方的存在。他摸出腰间的匕首,拐进边上的一条小巷。IsRose? Heshowed one's true naturepursewhenpaying moneyspecially, pours19gold royal, isavoidscausingother peopleto covet. Generally speaking, several hundredsilver royalwill not makethemdoto grabcustomermatter.
是蔷薇?他在付钱时特意将钱袋子翻了个底,才倒出19枚金龙,就是避免引起他人觊觎。一般来说,数百枚银狼是不会让他们干出劫掠顾客这种事的。Heis backing on the wall, severalmore and morenearsounds of footsteps, whenopposite partysoonafterlane entrance, hewas fierceto clash, the daggerarrivedinstantaneouslyon the neck of opposite party.
他背靠着墙,数着越来越近的脚步声,当对方即将经过巷口时,他猛得冲了出去,匕首瞬间抵在了对方的脖子上。„Do not move!”Tasashoutedlowly.
“别动!”塔萨低喝道。Has not thought that the opposite partychanges intoonegroup of mistsuddenly, vanishesdoes not see.
没想到对方忽然化为一团雾气,消失不见。Iswitch! Herealized,justwantsto shoutto make noise, behind the neckencounteredhas layer on layer struck. Hefeltimmediatelydizzily, knocks downweak.
是女巫!他意识到,刚想喊出声来,脖子后面就遭到了重重一击。他顿时感到一阵天旋地转,无力地扑倒在地。
