　　“你有见过那个男爵吗？”帕莱夫问道。

　　“Yes,he may have work for me in the palace of Urvaius,”

　　“有，他曾在厄瓦尤斯宫殿为我做事，”凯索骄傲地说。“抱歉，我只能跟你说这

　　Cassyrblushed, but regained his composure enough to ask:

　　凯索觉得他的脸有些烧，但很快恢复少许镇静开口说话：“他们来这儿干嘛？

　　“Whatare they doing here? Has there been a truce?”

　　不是已经立下停战协定了吗？”

　　“Idon't know the full story,” said Palyth. “But apparently,

　　Itwas a young man, a Nord, with a sack over his shoulder.

　　这是一个年轻人，一个诺德人，肩上背着个麻袋。显然，他刚刚从一条船上下来。

　　这是几周以来，第一个看着凯索却不是把他看成一个异常出名的白痴的人。本来

　　Palesunlight flickered behind the mist bathing the forest

　　天气逐渐转凉，暗淡的日光打在迷雾缭绕的森林中，照不透枝桠间的霜。特艾拉，

　　asTurala, Doryatha, and Celephyna drove their horses on.

　　多雅法以及赛勒菲娜正骑着马在森林里穿行。潮湿的地面因为气温结了层薄薄的

　　Theground was wet with a thin layer of frost, and laden

　　白霜，这没给她们的旅途造成不便，霜能让还没铺路的小山丘好走一点，至少能

　　让马省点力。特艾拉试图压制她心中想回到集会的渴望。威里斯城对于她来讲是

　　一阵寒冷的狂风将她的头发都向前吹以至于她除了眼前的道路外什么都看不见。

　　过身去，接着她看到了凯索，特艾拉惊喜又开心地喊出声来，如同见到了个许久

　　未见的老朋友一样。凯索的脸色看上去苍白而憔悴，但她认为那只是长途跋涉所

　　“Whatbrings you back to Phrygias?” she smiled. “Were you
