Taal’s Horn Keep has recently seen a bit of a change. Seems we have to once more turn to Lohner to get the full story… Or parts of it.

塔尔之角最近有了点变化。看来想知道来龙去脉,咱们又得去找洛纳了……不过,或许只能知道一部分。

1

So, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve made a few changes around the keep.

想必你们都注意到了,城堡里的格局跟之前有点不一样。

2

Why? Well, leaving aside the fact that variety’s the spice of life, this place was never meant for long-term habitation (that’s ‘living’ to you and me, Kruber), let alone being any kind of military outpost … which the way things are going, we’ll end up being sooner rather than later. And then there’s the fact that Olesya keeps taking up ever more room, Catrinne needs more space to store her works of art. It’s getting a mite crowded.

为什么要改?嗯,抛开「日子就得常过常新」不谈,这地方压根就不是给人长期栖居的(栖居啊,跟你我口中「住」是一个意思,克鲁伯),更别说当什么军事前哨了,可照这势头下去,离这一天不远了。

还有啊,奥蕾丝雅占的地方越来越多了,卡特妮妮也得有更多地方放她的艺术品。这儿多少开始有那么一捏捏挤了。

Then there’s this other business Saltzpyre keeps muttering about. Might need some extra space for that and all. ​And ​ there’s my stockroom to consider. The pumpkin collection. It all takes up space, you know.

接着是萨尔茨皮雷老在那儿嘀咕的他那档子事,说不定也得多腾点地方。还有我那间储藏室也得考虑,毕竟还得收藏南瓜。这些全都得安排,知道吧?

4

Anyway, where was I? Oh yes.

扯远了,刚说什么来着?哦,对了。

5

I had a bit of a chat with an old mate of mine, name of Rosalinde. She’s an by trade, with a in Light Magic, which is when it comes to moving masses of stone very quickly. Something about stone remembering when it was part of the hills, or something. It’s all above my head, if I’m honest, but I’m sure she knows what she’s about.

我跟一位老朋友聊了聊,她叫罗莎琳德。

她本职是建筑师,另外还有一手光明系魔法的本事,那玩意儿拿来挪石头倒挺顺手,一次能挪一大批,还特别快。

她跟我解释过,说是什么石头还记得自己当年是山的一部分之类的,大概就这么个意思吧。

老实讲,我是听得一头雾水,反正她肯定心里有数。

6

, Rosalinde owes me . So we’ve had a and she’s done a bit of rearranging. Clever lass. Came up with all kinds of space-saving suggestions, and I took the liberty of getting the first wave organised while you were last out in a bit of the old ‘derring do’.

好就好在,罗莎琳德还欠我几个人情,所以我们打了个商量,她就稍微露了一手。

这姑娘脑子灵光,腾地方的好点子层出不穷。趁着你们上回出门又去过英雄瘾,我就自作主张,先把第一波安排上了。

Had to veto a couple of ideas , of course. She wanted an entire room just for stray cats. I warned her off that one. You invite stray cats in here, I said, and Bardin’ll put them in a stew. Or Saltzpyre will give ‘em a terminal fright by practising his smile on ‘em. So … No cats. Probably for the best. And on the roof garden – I’ll have to think about that. As to the rest, maybe I’ll tell you about it next time.

当然,中间也有几条主意被我否了。

比如她想专门腾出一整间屋子给流浪猫住,我就劝她趁早打消这念头:「你前脚把流浪猫带到这儿,巴丁转头就能把它们炖了。」我还跟她说,「要不就是萨尔茨皮雷拿它们练习微笑,活活把它们给吓死。」

所以……不养猫,应该是最好的安排。

对了,屋顶花园这事儿还没定下来,我得再想想。至于剩下的,下回再说给你们听……吧。
