Naturally, I have the impression to her very much, understands the polite and likable little girl, my small jasmine is the same age,” the Potion Store boss says with emotion, „half year, she will notify everyone after the business street every day on own initiative, is much more sensible than that girl.” “爱莎？你指的是那个金发灰眼、在幸运猫工作的漂亮小姑娘吗？当然,我对她很有印象,一个懂礼貌、讨人喜欢的小女孩儿,我的小茉莉同龄,”药剂店的老板感慨道,“这半年来,她每天经过商业街都会主动跟大家打招呼,比那丫头懂事得多。” Young Witcher takes out pot marigold potion from the shelf at fingertips, clamped swung swinging between two fingers, „Elsa encountered you to hear, on September 9 on that day, have you seen her?” 年轻的猎魔人信手从货架上取出一支金盏花药剂,夹在两指间摇了摇,“爱莎的遭遇你听说了吧,九月 9 日那一天,你见过她吗？” „Very regrettable,” in shop owner eyes confused flashes to pass, regrets saying that „I remembered clearly, cannot hear the regards of her oriole bird that morning.” “很遗憾,”店主眼中迷茫一闪而逝,惋惜道,“我记得很清楚,那天早晨没能听到她黄鹂鸟似的问候。” „Less than half year, then suddenly a day cannot hear her sound, strange is not familiar with. I was very at that time accidental, Pavit with next door dye shop chats, thinks in her family/home to have anything, asks for leave with Yalin.” “小半年了,突然那么一天听不到她的声音,怪不习惯的。我当时很意外,跟隔壁染料店的帕维特聊了聊,都以为她家里又出什么事情,跟雅琳告了假。” The shop owners do not think that the delicate little miss will copy that dangerous track. 店主并不认为柔弱的小姑娘会抄那条危险的小道。 „I have not thought that public security Corrupted of business street to this grade of situation, a little miss well was missing bewilderedly.” Boss intonation soaring, the mood becomes excited, „must make a move to lovable pure small Elsa crazed.” “我没想到商业街的治安堕落到这等地步,好好的一个小姑娘莫名其妙就失踪了。”老板语调高昂了起来,情绪变得激动,“要多丧心病狂才会对可爱单纯的小爱莎出手。” „After she has an accident, in my heart continuously empty, like threw a daughter for no reason, the starting business did not have the past taste.” “她出事后,我心里面一直空荡荡的,就像凭白丢了个女儿,做起生意来没了往日的滋味。” Roy silent long time, hit a clear sound to refer to fiercely, withdrew the Axii hypnosis effect. 罗伊沉默了半晌,猛地打了个清脆的响指,撤去了亚克席的催眠效果。 Boss Potion Store body of too fat to move in a flash, as if awakening from a dream. 药剂店老板臃肿的身体一晃,如梦初醒。 „Very sorry, this guest, how I did not know, unexpectedly was in front of your to complain was so long! However Elsa that child is too pitiful.” The men have not obviously walked from the former mood, complained said, „Eternal Fire soldier has also asked the words, but that crowd of snobbishness obviously set the example, from the start without taking seriously the little miss, has searched to end the investigation in the nearby casually.” The boss looks to Witcher, “很抱歉,这位客人,我不知道怎么了,居然当着你的面抱怨了那么久！不过爱莎那孩子实在太可怜。”男人明显还没从之前情绪中走出来,不无埋怨地说,“永恒之火的士兵也来问过话,可那群势利眼明显就做做样子,压根没重视过小姑娘,随便在附近搜了搜就结束调查。”老板看向猎魔人, „You thought that small Elsa is also possibly living?” “您觉得小爱莎还可能活着吗？” Witcher had not replied. 猎魔人没有回答。 ...... …… In the afternoon the time elapsed the larger part quietly, the sunlight started to set in the west, Witcher ten stores and other possible eyewitness along the way will ask everywhere. 下午时间悄然逝去了一大半,阳光开始西斜,猎魔人将沿途的十来个商铺、其他可能的目击者都问了个遍。 Having achieved nothing. 一无所获。 Waits for the orange light group to sink to the horizon, he with Dodd taking advantage of the shield of dim light of night, sneaks the general store boss and jewelry merchant's son secretly, as well as in that small Noble family/home searches. 等橘黄色的光团沉入地平线,他又和陶德借着夜色的掩护,偷偷潜入杂货铺老板、珠宝商人之子、以及那个小贵族的家中搜查。 Also is lucky cat shop owner Yalin has mentioned during the daytime, had harassed the Elsa three fellows. 也就是幸运猫店主雅琳白天提到过的,曾经骚扰过爱莎的三个家伙。 Except that the drug addict in lane, these three fellows who covet the Elsa beauty have the significant suspicion. 除了巷子里的瘾君子,这三个觊觎爱莎美色的家伙也有重大的嫌疑。 ...... …… But beyond expectation, Roy cannot find any suspicious trace in their family/home slightly, later Axii Sign proved pure —— for them 但稍稍出乎意料,罗伊并没能在他们家中找到任何可疑的痕迹,随后的亚克席法印又替他们证明了清白—— In merchant's son and small Noble have the severe tigress to safeguard, typical has the intention but not the guts, usually in only likes occupying orally selects the Elsa small advantage, does not have any practical action. 商人之子和小贵族家中早已有严厉的母老虎看管,典型的有贼心没贼胆,平日里只喜欢口头占点爱莎的便宜,没有任何实际行动。 But the general store boss is stranger, truly what he is interested is flower shop proprietress Yalin, sexually harasses Elsa also to bring to Yalin's attention. 而杂货铺老板更奇怪,他真正感兴趣的是花店老板娘雅琳,调戏爱莎也只是想引起雅琳的注意。 In the place outside flower shop, has not disturbed the life of Elsa. 在花店以外的地方,从没干扰过爱莎的生活。 A day investigates. 一天调查下来。 The residents near flower shop claimed of that day has not seen Elsa, three suspect removed the suspicion... all these also to verify the Roy beforehand guess, Elsa was missing passed through that unvisited gloomy tunnel on that day surely. 花店附近的居民都声称那天没见到过爱莎,三个嫌疑人又排除了嫌疑…这一切也就印证了罗伊之前的猜测,爱莎失踪那天必定走过那条人迹罕至的阴暗巷道。 But Dodd, the heart is even more anxious. 而陶德,心头越发不安。 ...... …… Circles moat 320 th. 绕城河320号。 „In that lane ‚inhabitant’ absolutely is a big fish, does not allow to miss.” “那条巷子里的‘住户’绝对是一条大鱼,不容错失。” In the dirty room, the round table sits two people, under the dim light, the young Witcher pupil reflects the dark gold ray, 脏乱不堪的房间里,圆桌边坐着两个人,昏暗的灯光下,年轻的猎魔人眸子反射出暗金的光芒, „Or manages, tomorrow we will go to nearby the lane to stay at a selected place, actually have a look to have which fellows to appear. The attention do not let off any suspicious person, observation of primary mass data drug addict and bludger.” “要不这么办,明天咱们去巷子附近蹲点,看看究竟有哪些家伙会出现。注意别放过任何形迹可疑之人,重点观察瘾君子和小混混。” At present in the Witcher mind has two guesses. 目前猎魔人脑海里产生了两种猜测。 First, at that time in the tunnel happen to had class/flow of drug addict, pickpocket and vagabond, these have evil plans fellows got down the evil behind-the-scenes manipulator to Elsa, tied up other place her. 一是当时巷道里正好有瘾君子、扒手、地痞之流,这些心怀不轨的家伙对爱莎下了黑手,将她绑到了别的地方。 The second possibility with detected Energy of Chaos of Witcher in tunnel Related Sorcerer abducted Elsa through the spell method. 第二种可能性就跟猎魔人在巷道里检测到的混沌能量有关—术士通过法术手段神不知鬼不觉地掳走了爱莎。 This can also explain why cannot discover slightly lead the Beggar King informers. 这也能解释为何连乞丐王的眼线都找不出丝毫线索。 According to this mentality consideration, were the Roy heart also many a issue, why Sorcerer will be interested in an orphan girl all alone? 按照这种思路考虑,罗伊心头又多了个问题,术士为何会对一个无依无靠的孤女感兴趣？ Only because of her attractive semblance? 只因为她漂亮的外表？ ...... …… „Dodd, you may know, what unique element Elsa does have?” “陶德,你可知道,爱莎有什么特殊之处？” Witcher is pondering over, perhaps her Magic talent, will a little bring to the Sorcerer attention. 猎魔人琢磨着,也许她有点魔法天赋,才会引起术士注意。 „Unique element? What do you mean, the birthmark?” Dodd sighed, rubbed the swelling face to rebuke oneself saying that „Elsa did not have the birthmark, as for other place, she just reach one -year-old I left home to go out, 15 years have not met, what she was long not to know.” “特殊之处？您是什么意思,胎记吗？”陶德叹了口气,揉了揉肿胀的脸自责道,“爱莎没有胎记,至于别的地方,她刚满一岁我就离家外出,十五年不曾见面,连她长什么样都不知道。” „Did one year old leave?” Roy is gazing at dim magic lamp, is slightly disappointed. “一岁就离开了？”罗伊注视着昏暗的魔法灯,略微失望。 „But I remember, can the time that she... she was born, with other child not too,” what Dodd remembered suddenly, closely examines anxiously, „this have the relations? Grandmaster.” “但我记得,她…她出生的时间,和别的孩子不太一样,”陶德忽然想起了什么,急切地追问,“可这有关系吗？大师。” Time of birth? 出生时间？ Roy raised the chin toward him, hints him to continue. 罗伊朝他扬了扬下巴,示意他继续。 „On the day of the Elsa birth,” Dodd both eyes blew off, recall, „I remember on that day obviously was summer noon, Sun big can expose to the sun the deceased person secretly, window outside weather actually got down... you to see that astronomical phenomena suddenly? A black round spot swallowed Sun, in broad daylight, the ray becomes darker than the night.” “爱莎出生那天,”陶德双目放空,回忆道,“我记得那天明明是夏天的中午,太阳大的能晒死人,窗户外面天色却突然暗了下去…您见过那种天文现象吧？一圈黑色的圆斑吞噬了太阳,大白天的,光线变得比深夜还暗。” „I lived for more than 30 years, has seen that solar eclipse, therefore the impression is very most!” “我活了三十多年,也就见过那一次日食,所以印象很深！” The Roy hear, does not shut out to sit the dirty sofa, sighed, regretting on face made Dodd be flustered. 罗伊听完,毫不嫌弃地坐上肮脏的沙发,叹了口气,脸上的惋惜让陶德心慌。 „On the day of the girl who Black Sun was born in this period... in the tunnel residual Energy of Chaos... I can imagine probably exactly had anything.” “黑日期间出生的女孩儿…巷道里残留的混沌能量…我大概能想象那天到底发生了什么。” The Witcher following words, let him such as the falling ice cave. 猎魔人接下来的话,让他如坠冰窟。 „Dodd, have you heard Curse of the Black Sun?” “陶德,你听说过黑日诅咒吗？” „Listens... to hear.” “听…听说过。” „You should understand, your daughter Elsa. In Prophecy so-called Maiden of the Black Sun, therefore... she has possibly encountered the persecution of some Sorcerer.” “你该明白,你的女儿爱莎。正是预言之中所谓的黑日之女,所以…她可能已经遭到某个术士的迫害。” Dodd instantaneous absent-minded, the lip cannot help but starts to tremble. 陶德瞬间失神,嘴唇不由自主地开始发抖。 He naturally understands the Maiden of the Black Sun meaning and source. 他当然了解黑日之女的含义和出处。 As the name suggests, during the girl who the solar eclipse was born. This is a brutal title, originates from lunatic Mage Eltibald Prophecy. 顾名思义,就是在日食期间出生的女孩。这是个残酷至极的称谓,来源于疯子法师埃提巴德的预言。 He thinks future some day, one crowd of Maiden of the Black Sun combine, resurrecting Evil God, called the judgment day. 他认为将来的某一天,一群黑日之女将联合起来,复活邪神,召来世界末日。 Roy had once discussed Black Sun Prophecy in Oxenfurt University with mysterious study graduate student Montes · Staines. 罗伊在牛堡大学就曾与神秘学研究生蒙特斯·迪斯坦斯讨论过黑日预言。 Witcher thinks that this is purely nonsensical talk. 猎魔人认为这纯属无稽之谈。 But Mage and ignorant people do not think. Dozens years ago, „Black Sun Prophecy” around the world is in vogue extremely, from this expedites a number of ill-fated pitiful. 可法师和愚昧的人民不那么认为。几十年前,“黑日预言”在整个世界范围内都极为盛行,由此催生出一批命运悲惨的可怜儿。 For example Shrike. 比如伯劳鸟。 For example Toussaint Duchess sisters. 比如陶森特女公爵的姐妹。 „That Prophecy had been shown is completely the baseless and irrational concoctions!” Dodd muttered, You self was unbelievable. “那个预言已经被证明完全是胡编乱造！”陶德喃喃自语,尤自难以置信。 The person who „may still have believed in firmly. If the murderer is one of them, then carried off the Elsa motive also to have ——” “可有的人仍然对此深信不疑。若凶手是其中之一,那么带走爱莎的动机也有了——” The Witcher analysis said that 猎魔人分析道, „In the past during that time, lunatic Eltibald had many supporters, they ‚Black Sun Prophecy’ will take as a model, went to seek for Maiden of the Black Sun to the all over the world crazily, arrested them, to imprison in tower, then suffered and kills, or was used to conduct the brutal human experiment.” “过去那段时间,疯子埃提巴德有很多拥护者,他们将‘黑日预言’奉为圭臬,到世界各地去疯狂地寻找黑日之女,逮捕她们、囚禁在高塔,然后折磨、杀害,或者用来进行惨无人道的人体实验。” „In this group of supporters a substantial number is Sorcerer.” “这群拥护者中为数不少是术士。” Holds Maiden of the Black Sun to do the experiment? 抓住黑日之女做实验？ Was saying to be saying, Roy has one type to regard the feeling suddenly. 说着说着,罗伊忽而产生一种既视感。 „No! Cannot, Grandmaster!” Dodd shakes the head, ’ the time that the eye flood blood threads, „distance ‚ Black Sun Prophecy is all the rage had passed by for dozens years, now everyone clearly recognizes that this is a joke, no one cares radically again, seizes what Maiden of the Black Sun!” “不！不会的,大师！”陶德摇了摇头,眼泛血丝,“距离‘黑日预言’风靡的时间已经过去了几十年,现在所有人都认清楚这就是个笑话、根本没人再把它当回事,去抓捕什么黑日之女！” The mercenaries are agitated, he rather believes that the daughter was killed by the ordinary person, is not willing to believe that she was taken away by crazy Sorcerer. 雇佣兵情绪激动,他宁愿相信女儿被普通人杀害,也不愿意相信她被疯狂的术士带走。 The human experiment, dying was more fearful. 人体实验,比死亡更可怕。 „Do not be excited, Dodd, this is only a possibility!” Roy slowed down the tone. „Moreover complained that does not help matters.” “别激动,陶德,这只是一种可能！”罗伊放缓了语气。“而且抱怨无济于事。” Dodd roared a while, lowers the head quickly, the sound also lowered. 陶德咆哮了一会儿,很快低下头,声音也低了下去。 „Calmed down?” Roy rubbed temples, some of his also headaches, if unnecessary, Witcher does not want with Sorcerer for the enemy. “冷静下来了？”罗伊揉了揉太阳穴,他也有些头疼,如非必要,猎魔人绝不想与术士为敌。 Chooses Caster to take the opponent, the far ratio and ordinary person opposes troublesome many. 挑选施法者作为对手,远比和普通人作对麻烦的多。 However is good because of five companions in Novigrad, Roy is sporty. 不过好在五名同伴都在诺城,罗伊底气十足。 Moreover his a series of Skill, suits to a certain extent extremely copes with Caster. 而且他本身的一系列技能,某种程度上也是极其适合对付施法者。 „Next step we must give to look Novigrad all Sorcerer! One by one investigation.” “下一步咱们必须把诺城的所有术士都给找出来！挨个排查。” „This was too slow, Grandmaster, has had other means that quickly!” Dodd paces anxiously same place. “这太慢了,大师,有没有别的办法,更快一点！”陶德焦急地原地踱步。 If Elsa were really blindly believed in „Black Sun Prophecy” Sorcerer carries off conducts the human experiment, the present is about two months, she may also live very much. 爱莎若真被迷信“黑日预言”的术士带走进行人体实验,如今不过两个月,她很有可能还活着。 But must drag again... 但要再拖下去… „Do efficiency higher means... find the person?” The Witcher sudden eyebrow peak tightens, closes the eye to be lost in thought. “效率更高的办法…找人？”猎魔人突然眉峰紧锁,闭上眼睛陷入沉思。 The Dodd atmosphere does not dare to breathe is staring at him. 陶德大气不敢喘地盯着他。 Five after minutes, Witcher spoke senseless words, 五分钟后,猎魔人说了一句没头没脑的话, „Only if... only if can daydream!” “除非…除非能白日做梦！” „Daydreaming... what do you mean?” Dodd sees only the Roy demon startled endlessly to repeat this word, then on the face reveals the exciting color suddenly. “白日做梦…您是什么意思？”陶德只见罗伊魔怔似地不断重复这个词,然后脸上猛然露出兴奋之色。 „Don't forget, we in Novigrad!” “别忘了,我们在诺维格瑞！” Dodd closely examines anxiously, „Grandmaster, you do not keep guessing, has the words to speak frankly!” 陶德急切追问,“大师,你就别卖关子了,有话直说！” „Novigrad's Dreaming.” Young Witcher is welcoming the man curious vision, „I think, perhaps some really people can give the answer in the dream, told us Elsa whereabouts —— to cross all numerous and diverse branch details, went straight to the end point.” “诺维格瑞的白日梦。”年轻的猎魔人迎着男人好奇的目光,“我想,也许真有人能在梦中给予答案,告诉我们爱莎的下落——越过所有繁杂的旁枝末节,直抵终点。” „Who?” The Dodd heart pū passes pū passes the beat, holds the breath with rapt attention, he is afraid Witcher to tell him very much suddenly is only a joke. “谁？”陶德心脏噗通噗通跳动,屏息凝神,他很害怕猎魔人突然告诉他只是一个玩笑。 „Oneiromancer, have you heard?” “卜梦者,你们听说过吗？” The Roy tone somewhat drifts from place to place, he remembers another experience, in Novigrad, Oneiromancer helped Geralt discover Ciri lead. 罗伊语气有些飘忽不定,他想起另一段经历,在诺维格瑞,一位卜梦者帮助杰洛特找出了希里的线索。 „My impression, whose had a little heard from mouth probably in childhood. Is Oneiromancer, seemingly one type scarce... the god stick? You determined that they are not one group of swindlers, can play the role?” The Dodd expression questioned, “我好像有点印象,小时候从谁嘴里听到过。卜梦者,貌似是一种数量稀少的呃…神棍？您确定他们不是一群骗子,能起到作用？”陶德表情质疑, „Dreamland divination compared with mystery that you imagine.” Roy said as if for real, “梦境占卜比你想象的更神奇。”罗伊半真半假地说, „Moreover I read in the historical document of Temple of Melitele library, that above recorded in the Novigrad city the generation to be occupied by a Oneiromancer family clearly, named Tilly family. Now their reputation does not reveal, still looked like the hidden that in the book described probably in the ordinary person, camouflages herbalist who the hypnosis master and treated an illness.” “而且我在梅里泰莉神殿图书馆的一份历史文献读到过,那上面清楚地记载着诺维格瑞城里世代居住着一个卜梦者家族,名为提丽家族。如今他们声名不显,大概仍像书里所描述的隐藏在普通人之中,伪装成催眠师和治病的草药医生。” „Novigrad has real Oneiromancer, my at least 70% assurances.” “诺维格瑞存在货真价实的卜梦者,我至少有70%把握。” „The Novigrad population several tens of thousands of, various buildings are intriguing, where on us looks for Oneiromancer.” big fellow is somewhat awkward, „Elsa... she and others was so long.” “诺维格瑞人口数万,各种房屋建筑错综复杂,咱们上哪儿找卜梦者。”大汉有些为难,“爱莎…她等不了那么久。” „Old means. Dodd your excellency, this time must trouble you. Although Beggar King could not find the Elsa news, but the help discovers Oneiromancer to not have the issue. Tilly this surname is quite rare.” “还是老办法。陶德阁下,这次还得麻烦你。虽说乞丐王找不到爱莎的消息,但帮忙找出一个卜梦者总该没问题吧。提丽这个姓氏相当罕见。” „I understood.” Dodd deeply inspires, sets firm resolve, „I go to the spoiled forest to visit Francis Bedlam immediately, he or extends the aid, or pats two powder!” “我明白了。”陶德深吸一口气,下定决心,“我马上去腐林拜会法兰西斯·贝兰,他要不伸出援手,要不一拍两散！”
