一时之间,罗伊反倒闲了下来,于是带上歌尔芬·黄狗,去集市菜档看望了一番卖菜的老摩尔夫妇,把狗子的嘴巴拉成大饼,逗得小米诺格叽大笑。Actuallyaccording to the Witcherexistingfinancial resource, Moorehusband and wifehas no needto work can also on the abundantlife.
其实按照猎魔人现有的财力,老摩尔夫妇用不着工作也能过上富足的生活。Buttwocouplestoiled the most lifetime, wantsthemto idle, the day of having had a high and respected position, is not instead familiar withextremely.

他也就没有强求。Accompanies the family memberwas chattinga whiledaylater, the Witcherpreparationrelaxes, regainsforgetsfor a long timehobby, goes toTavern the Gwentaddiction.

一年多前,离开卡耶村那天,老船长酒馆的独眼杰克曾经拜托他给一个故人带去问候,诺城运河边320号的弗兰克(第一卷十四章)。„Ifinitiallydid not haveoldJackto give money generously, Imay notjoinViper School.”

“咚咚…有人吗?”„Bangandbang! Frankininside?”
“砰、砰!弗兰克在里面吗?”„Creaks——”
“嘎吱——”

大门敞开,露出一张颓废的男人脸。

“阁下是什么人?”男人灰色的眸子在猎魔人身上一扫—灰黑色的甲胄、矫健的身形,暗金的竖瞳,装束和气势,看上去绝非什么良好市民。
The big fellowbodyleans forward, the eyebrowpeakis tight, makes the stance of having the oppressionstrength, above the foreheadis water-worn, appears the having mind filled withconcern.大汉身体前倾,眉峰紧蹙,做出一副极具压迫力的姿态,额头之上沟壑纵横,显得满腹心事。„Who are you? The words that Ihave not remembered incorrectly, should the owner in thishousebe calledFrank?”Roydoes not show weaknesswithbig fellowlooking at each other, the tonebecomescold.
“你又是谁?我没记错的话,这个房子的主人应该叫做弗兰克?”罗伊毫不示弱地与大汉对视,语气变得冷冽。

雇佣兵的身份,加上这副彪悍的体型。Howhefeels that thisfellowmustbe disadvantageousto the goal!
他怎么觉着这家伙要对目标不利!

男人却摇摇头,眼神越过猎魔人的肩头,放空地注视运河水面,用一股略微悲伤的低沉语气说,“无论你是谁,找老头子有什么目的,都来迟了,弗兰克死了得有五年…现在这栋屋子,只有我一个人居住。”KeenPerceptiontoldWitcher, the robust manhas not lied.
敏锐的感知告诉猎魔人,壮汉没有说谎。Hesigheddisappointedly,
他失望地叹了口气,„Thispaying a visit, mainlyhasregardsforFrank, fromhisold friendOne-Eyed Jack, has not thought... oh...”
“这次登门拜访,主要是为弗兰克带个问候,来自他的老友独眼杰克,没想到…唉…”„Youreferred tooncedrove the trans ship, to settle down inAedirninCintraafterward, was very fond to collect the Gwent Cardone-eyedoldwifeless man?” The mantonesuddenlybecomessubtle.

而房间的布置。Withmostliving alone the floors of frustratedmiddle-agedmaletype:crawlingfulldust, at sixes and sevens the tableware that has not cleaned up, chocks up the brokensofa of spare clothes, as well asonepile of emptybeverage bottles.

男人一屁股坐在沙发上。大大咧咧伸手一推,将身边汗臭的衣服推到地上,露出一块沾满未知褐色斑块的空位。„That, Iam standingon the line.”
“那个,我站着就行。”„As you like!” The mendid not mind,is raising headsmilesreluctantly, the crowdedwrinkle between volumesstillbrings the sadness of being able hardly be removed, „oldJacknow, is how healthy, can't move?”
“随你!”男人也不介意,仰着头勉强一笑,额间的密集的皱纹仍然带着挥之不去的哀伤,“老杰克现在如何,身体还硬朗吗,跑得动不?”„Naturally, caneat to drink, evenalsofound timeto killseveralwolves, butthatwasoneyear ago matter, Ialsohadfor a long timenotchapter of Lower Aedirn.”Roylooks all aroundto look in all directions, obsoletewoodenstaircasetwobuildingsupward, were dividedseveralsmallrooms.
“当然,能吃能喝,甚至还抽空杀了几匹狼,不过那是一年前的事情,我也有好长时间没回下亚甸。”罗伊环顾四顾,陈旧的木楼梯往上的二楼,被分割成数个小房间。„Right, IwasFrank'sson, Dodd, a mercenary, justreturned toNovigradsome time ago.”
“对了,我是弗兰克的儿子,陶德,一个雇佣兵,不久前刚回到诺城。”Witcherreturnspowerfullygrasps, „IamViper SchoolWitcher, Roy.”猎魔人有力地回握,“我是蛇派猎魔人,罗伊。”Doddheard that the wordlookis startled, graypupilshrinks a seam. On the facereveals a joysuddenly.陶德闻言神色一怔,灰色的瞳孔缩成一条缝。脸上忽而露出一丝欣喜。Hisstanding upbody, the toneis excitedly stimulated.

这种反应让罗伊觉得很有趣,大部分人在知道他们的身份后都不会给什么好脸色,对方却一反常态地有些高兴,除非——„Master Roy, Ithink that todaycanbump intoyou, inevitablyis the direction of destiny.”Doddis raising head, on the greasycheekshas the hope, „Ihad heard that Witcherhasall sorts ofinconceivableabilities, can probably detect that anytraces, are good attracingcompared with the hunting dog, andfind the person?”
“罗伊大师,我想今天能碰到您,必然是命运的指引。”陶德仰着头,油腻的脸颊上带着期盼,“我早就听说猎魔人拥有种种不可思议的能力,像是能察觉到任何蛛丝马迹,比猎犬更擅长追踪、和找人?”„Then?”
“然后?”
