PROLOGUE
序曲
We should start back,” Gared urged as the woods began to grow dark around them. “The wildlings are dead.”
“既然野人已經死了，”眼看周圍的樹林逐漸黯淡，蓋瑞不禁催促，“咱們回頭吧。”
“Do the dead frighten you?” Ser Waymar Royce asked with just the hint of a smile.
“死人嚇著你了嗎？”威瑪·羅伊斯爵士帶著輕淺的笑意問。
Gared did not rise to the bait. He was an old man, past fifty, and he had seen the lordlings come and go. “Dead is dead,” he said. “We have no business with the dead.”
蓋瑞并未中激將之計，年過五十的他也算得上是個老人，這輩子看過太多貴族子弟來來去去。“死了就是死了，”他說，“咱們何必追尋死人。”
“Are they dead?” Royce asked softly. “What proof have we?”
“你能確定他們真死了？”羅伊斯輕聲問，“證據何在？”
“Will saw them,” Gared said. “If he says they are dead, that’s proof enough for me.”
“威爾看到了，”蓋瑞道，“我相信他說的話。”
Will had known they would drag him into the quarrel sooner or later. He wished it had been later rather than sooner. “My mother told me that dead men sing no songs,” he put in.
威爾料到他們早晚會把自己卷入這場爭執，只是沒想到這么快。“我娘說過，死人沒戲可唱。”他插嘴道。
“My wet nurse said the same thing, Will,” Royce replied. “Never believe anything you hear at a woman’s tit. There are things to be learned even from the dead.” His voice echoed, too loud in the twilit forest.
“威爾，我奶媽也說過這話，”羅伊斯回答：“千萬別相信你在女人懷里聽到的東西。就算人是死了，也能讓我們了解很多東西。”他的余音在暮色昏暝的森林里回蕩，似乎吵鬧了點。
“We have a long ride before us,” Gared pointed out. “Eight days, maybe nine. And night is falling.”
“回去的路還長著呢，”蓋瑞指出，“少不了走個八九天，況且天色漸漸暗下來了。
Ser Waymar Royce glanced at the sky with disinterest. “It does that every day about this time. Are you unmanned by the dark, Gared?”
威瑪·羅伊斯爵士意興闌珊地掃視天際。“每天這時候不都如此？蓋瑞，你該不會怕黑吧？”
