Roland sits before the desk is in a daze, he has not expected also really some people to dare to kill in the castle unexpectedly, if not the Nightingale prompt discovery, oneself only feared already the violent treachery. 罗兰坐在办公桌前发呆,他没料到居然还真有人敢杀到城堡里来,如果不是夜莺及时发现,自己只怕已经惨遭毒手了。 Who is this time? Is Third Royal Sister, other brother and sister? Must be so anxious, five years of struggle for the throne, in the past few months, Roland agitated was pounding on the table now, is simply absurd, but can also be winterred by oneself well? 这次又是谁？三王姐,还是其他兄妹？要不要这么急啊,五年的争王令,现在才过去几个月,罗兰烦躁地拍着桌子,简直岂有此理,还能不能让自己好好过冬了？ Out of the door resounded the sound of footsteps, Chief Knight Carter Lannis has pushed the door to enter, „your highness, the deceased has verified, in eight corpses had seven is the original patrol leader member, a person was unidentified. In addition living two people, by witch...... No, was treated after by Miss Pine, had not waked up. Has detained into the dungeon, is guarding strictly.” 门外响起了脚步声,首席骑士卡特.兰尼斯推门而入,“殿下,死者身份都查明了,八具尸体中有七具是原巡逻队成员,一人身份不明。另外还活着的两人,一个被女巫……不,被派恩小姐治疗后,仍未醒来。一个已押入地牢,正严密看守着。” Patrol leaders? Knows that this team that is raised by former feudal lord is unreliable, Roland thinks with clenched jaws, in ten people eight revolting, do not let this group of person joining militia teams unexpectedly are really the correct choices. 巡逻队？就知道这支由前领主养出来的队伍靠不住,罗兰咬牙切齿地想,十个人里居然有八个叛变,不让这伙人加入民兵队果然是正确的选择。 „That closes, you reminded hand/subordinate stare tightly, don't like the previous time, made others take poison to commit suicide!” “那个关起来的,你提醒手下盯紧点,别像上次那样,又让人家服毒自杀了！” „Previous time...... Such?” “上次……那样？” „, Does not have anything,” Roland shakes the head, it seems like before dawn cried out by Nightingale, was blurry including the head, „in brief, I must know all from his mouth, who instigates, who relates, who buys, these give you to look up.” “咳,没什么,”罗兰摇摇头,看来凌晨被夜莺叫起,连脑袋都迷糊了,“总之,我要从他口中知道一切,谁主使、谁联系、谁收买,这些都交给你去查。” „Yes, Your highness,” Carter said, has not left immediately, instead under kneeling on one knee, „this time makes the assassin sneak the castle is my dereliction of duty, looks at your highness to punish.” “是,殿下,”卡特说完后并没有立刻离开,反而单膝跪下,“这次让刺客潜入城堡是我的失职,望殿下责罚。” „Has sufficed, you in the castle, this did not have nothing to do with you at that time.” “够了,你当时不在城堡里,这跟你无关。” „Then......” Carter hesitant, „could tell me, who at that time has prevented this assassination? I saw from the scene, they......” Knight have swallowed a saliva, „they as if were massacred by the same person, moreover does not have the strength to hit back.” “那么……”卡特犹豫了下,“能否告诉我,当时到底是谁阻止了这场刺杀？我从现场看到,他们……”骑士咽了口口水,“他们似乎都是被同一个人杀掉,而且毫无还手之力。” „Can this you look?” Roland curious say/way. “这你都看得出来？”罗兰好奇道。 „If evenly matched, the scene so will be unclean, the wound will be also all kinds,” Carter said in a low voice, „all people pour in not a big warehouse, the ground besides the blood and corpse, has almost not destroyed a thing of placing, the big boxes of these storage salt meat, above even/including Dianjian mark has not stayed behind. In other words, that person has not drawn support from any shield, walks randomly in not a big open area. I spoke frankly, Your highness, this is simply inconceivable.” “如果势均力敌,现场不会这么干净,伤口也会各式各样,”卡特低声说,“所有人都倒在一间不大的仓库里,地上除了血和尸体外,几乎没有破坏一个摆放的物件,那些储存腌肉的大箱子,上面连点剑痕都没留下。也就是说,那人未借助任何掩护,就在一块不大的空地中游走。恕我直言,殿下,这简直不可思议。” „So that's it,” Roland nods, he understood the meaning of opposite party. Theoretically after the strong person was surrounded, will fall into the extremely disadvantageous aspect-- actual combat not like in the movie develops, seemed like is surrounding, the person still one after another ground. In the attack of field of vision blind spot especially to be fatal. Therefore in one-to-many, correct countermeasure is to depend upon the terrain and environment, met the enemy by oneself throughout directly. “原来如此,”罗兰点点头,他明白了对方的意思。理论上再强的人被包围后,都会陷入极度不利的局面——实战中可不会像电影里演的那样,看似是包围,人仍然一个接一个地上。处于视野盲区的攻击将尤为致命。所以以一对多,正确的对策是依靠地形和环境,让自己始终正面迎敌。 However Nightingale is not an average person. 然而夜莺并不是普通人。 „No matter how, you are you should the first matter of doing. This person was unable to make an appearance temporarily, when the conditions are ripe, I will tell you.” “不管如何,你先去做你该做的事吧。这个人暂时还不能露面,等时机成熟时,我会告诉你的。” Although Chief Knight to oneself loyal reliable, knows that Anna and Nana are witch, but under Roland still chose to conceal existence of Nightingale. Because she is different from another two witch, she is not herself, reason that keeps small town merely for Anna. Her back is Witch Cooperation Association, sooner or later one day will leave here. 尽管首席骑士对自己忠心可靠,也知道安娜和娜娜瓦是女巫,但罗兰仍选择隐瞒下夜莺的存在。因为她和另两位女巫不同,她不属于自己这边,留在小镇的原因仅仅是为了安娜。她的背后是女巫共助会,迟早有一天会离开这里。 A Carter face lost asks to be excused. 卡特一脸失落地告退了。 Roland can understand that his idea, holds the person of sword as one, unceasingly Swordsmanship that practices during for several hundred years to summarize and accumulate, and takes for the truth. But when sees scene that is unable to understand, will produce to oneself inevitably suspected--, if Swordsmanship can exquisitely to so the boundary, in the ordinary day is proud what is? 罗兰能理解他的想法,作为一名持剑之人,不断练习着数百年间总结和积累下来的剑术,并引以为真理。但当看到无法理解的景象时,势必会对自己产生怀疑——如果剑术能精妙到如此境界,那自己平日里引以为傲的又算是什么？ „I think that you will call me to come out,” Nightingale appears the figure, she still sat in a desk corner, curled upwards the leg to say. “我以为您会叫我出来,”夜莺显出身形,她仍坐在办公桌一角,翘着腿说。 „I also think. Or you simply here settle down, holds the post of my dark health/guard, every month two gold royal salaries, are more than one time Anna, under can consider?” Roland starts Ainley saying that „room innertube garden, one week rests for two days, every year has paid leave--, is rest takes the meaning of remuneration for services rendered.” “我也这么想。要不你干脆在这里定居下来吧,担任我的暗卫,每个月两枚金龙的薪酬,比安娜多一倍,要不要考虑下？”罗兰又开始安利道,“房子带花园,一星期休两天,每年都有带薪假——呃,就是边休息边拿酬金的意思。” Those who made his accident/surprise was, this opposite party has not rejected categorically, but smiled, cannot set otherwise said, „I cannot throw down my partner not to manage.” 令他意外的是,这次对方没有断然拒绝,而是笑了笑,不可置否道,“我可不能丢下我的伙伴不管。” „That called, when crossed in the winter, Border Town must construct energetically, when the time comes many people could hold. And...... witch can also not discriminated walk in the street, nobody regard you for evil.” “那就都叫过来,等冬天一过,边陲镇就要大兴建设了,到时候多少人都容得下。而且……女巫也可以不受歧视的行走在街头,没人会视你们为邪恶者。” „You achieved this to say again,” Nightingale shrugged to say. “等您做到这点再说吧,”夜莺耸肩说。 Good, Ainley must look at the product, this matter can only take your time. Roland changed a topic, „has Nana sent back safely?” 好罢,安利还得看产品,这种事情只能慢慢来。罗兰转换了个话题,“娜娜瓦已经安全送回去了吧？” „Yeah, she may frighten heavily.” “嗯哼,她可吓得不轻。” The prince sighed, when oneself Nightingale awakened at midnight, saw after the scene, has almost not spat. She had confessed simply under matter process, Roland then told she goes to come out the Nana belt secretly. Usually only gives the chicken therapy the little girl to see the whole body is the live person of blood, has fainted immediately. In brief after a piece is in chaotic situation, she whole face tears has cured patrol Captain. 王子叹了口气,自己被夜莺叫醒时正是午夜,看到现场后差点没吐出来。她简单交代了下事情经过,罗兰便吩咐她去把娜娜瓦偷偷带出来。平时只给鸡疗伤过的小姑娘看到满身是血的活人,立马就晕了过去。总之一片鸡飞狗跳后,她才满脸眼泪地治好了巡逻队长。 For does not make his family member realize, Nightingale must be responsible for bringing her. 为了不让他家人察觉,夜莺还要负责将她带回去。 When all finish, the sky is about to shine. 当一切忙完时,天都快亮了。 „Do you see to this matter? Can speculate that is which good Elder Brother my or the good elder sister to do?” “你对这件事怎么看？能推测出是我的哪位好哥哥或好姐姐做的吗？” Nightingale shook the head, „they are the people of patrol leader, on the only exceptant has not carried any with the status related exhibit, if the buy, anybody can accomplish...... But I thought, perhaps this matter has not related with your brother and sister.” 夜莺摇了摇头,“他们都是巡逻队的人,唯一的例外者身上也没有携带任何跟身份有关的证物,如果说是收买,任何人都可以办到……但我觉得,这件事或许跟您的兄妹们没有关系。” „Why?” “为什么？” „Because is not rigorous. More than people move, in team actually had the internal strife. After the failure, has not committed suicide immediately, at least has left behind two living witness. Moreover at that time, their performance were non-specialized, was simply ordinary with the street bludger. This like your brother and sister's attitude, does not pour is more like together plan of unprofessional public figure. I want I not to be, this assassination does not have the successful possibility...... Do not forget Anna to rest downstairs you.” “因为太不严谨了。一次多人行动,队伍里却起了内讧。失败后没有立刻自杀,至少留下了两名活口。而且当时,他们的表现毫不专业,简直跟街头混混一般。这不像您兄妹的作风,倒更像是一起外行人士的谋划。我想就算我不在,这场刺杀也没成功的可能性……别忘了安娜就睡在您楼下。” Nightingale carries the Roland cup, not care drank water, then said that „, no matter how, your Knight went to the dungeon inquiry oral confession, I will make a bet he to obtain board game piece of truth-- under quickly compared with your older sister arrange/cloth, but the fellow inferior were too many, before also knelt is asking me not to kill him.” 夜莺端起罗兰的杯子,毫不在意地喝了口水,接着说道,“不管如何,您的骑士已经前往地牢询问口供了,我打赌他很快就会得到真相——比起您姐姐布下的棋子,那家伙可是逊色太多了,之前还跪着求我别杀他呢。” „That severely wounded patrol Captain...... I as if have summoned.” “那名重伤的巡逻队长……我似乎召见过。” „Right?” Nightingale is excessive, „I think you to but actually well under thanks he, if were not he has tied down other fellows, I will not discover that quickly the basement has stolen into Mouse. Why although is not quite clear he to such do, but the enemy of enemy is our friends, right?” “是吗？”夜莺偏过头,“我倒觉得您得好好感谢下他,如果不是他一个人缠住了其他家伙,我也不会那么快发现地下室溜进了老鼠。虽然不大清楚他为什么要这么做,但敌人的敌人就是我们的朋友,对吧？” Right, Roland thinks, but with emphasis does not lie in he is the friend or the enemy, but lies in those words that Nightingale spoke. 没错,罗兰想,不过重点不在于他是朋友还是敌人,而是在于夜莺说的那句话。 -- " we " friend. ——「我们」的朋友。
