这是一个支线任务的对话,word统计537词。在英汉词典的帮助下,我相信100个人里面有至少有80人能准确理解这段文字的大体意思。
Welcome my friends.
Thank you for seeing us, Comte Boisvert.
The honor is mine. Please, sit.
It's a honor to assist two such distinguished guests.
We appreciate your help, Comte.
The death of Lady Montilyets's servants must weigh heavily on you.
Have you heard of The House of Repose.
The assasins' league?
My contacts obtained a copy of a document in their archives. A contract for a life.
"The House of Repose is hereby sworn to eliminate anyone attempting to overturn the Montilyets' trading exile in Orlais."
Who's sending these assasins?
The contract was sighed by a noble family. The Du Paraquettes.
But the Du Paraquettes died out as a noble line over sixty years ago!
Indeed. But the contract was signed one hundred and nine years ago.
How can a family try to kill you after they died out?
The Du Paraquettes were our rivals. They drove the Montilyets from Val Royeaux.
This contract was drawn up over a hundred years ago, but it wasn't invoked until I tried to overturn my family's exile.
Unpleasant though it may be, The House of Repose is merely fulfilling its contractual duties.
If the people who wanted your family dead are gone, why are the assassins still after you?
A contract is a contract,Inquisitor! Orlesian businesses live and die by their reputations.
The entire guild's welfare would be endangered if an agreement was tossed aside on a whim of time or fate.
She's quite right, Your Worship, The House of Repose is doing what it feels necessary. By its standards.
I assume you have a thought or two on this, Josephine?
The Du Paraquettes still have descendants under the common branch.
If we elevate them to nobility, a Du Paraquette could annul the contract on my life.
That will take time, Lady Montilyet. Time during which the House of Repose will obliged to hunt you.
Will they now?
You are exceedingly well-informed. Your note to us said you'd heard rumors at best?
A bit of subterfuge. This contract on your life is an ugly business, one the House of Repose deeply regrets.
But this is Orlais. Even an assasin's word is his bond.
Does "Comte Boisvert" actually exist?
Absolutely. The Comte's offer to reveal the killers of Lady Montilyet's messengers was genuine.
So was his information, somehow. An end to be tied up later.
I'm guessing the actual Comte Boisvert met with a fatal accident?
Comte Boisvert slumbers in a nearby closet! Nothing more.
The contract on lady Montilyet's life is so unusual, we felt the courtesy of an explanation was in order.
It is appreciated, Monsieur.
Your idea to seek out a Du Paraquette to revoke our orders is an interesting one. I wish you luck.
I did not come to shed blood today, Inquisitor——Only to speak. Might I pass?
Why warn us about your contract and let us go?
In Orlais, it is only decent to inform those involed in a contract when extraordinary circumstances conspire.
And the guild's reputation would suffer if you ignore the contract. I quite understand.
Thank you, my lady. May we conclude with my departure?
Go then.
Good day, your worship. My lady. I pray we never meet again.
