Epilogue And After

Graendal
Shaidar Haran
She was in her elegant manor house a few leagues from Ebou Dar.
哟,她去Ebou Dar了。
That fool Isam, Graendal thought, stuffing the papers in her pack. And that idiot Whitecloak!
Byre是黑暗之友?还是说,他和Mesama的情况差不多?其实还是她自己蠢吧,一个Gateway就解决的事,计划个屁啊。
“Three Chosen, destroyed by your actions.
Mesaana,aran'gar,还有一个是... Asmodean?是你,是你?
Perrin Aybara
Boundless (Noam)——他是因为做人太苦主动做的狼,不是无法控制自己。所以Perrin这傻逼十几卷都白发愁了。
Olver
Talmanes Delovinde
And besides, someday he would find that Shaido who had killed his father. Then Olver would get his vengeance.
这和后来霄晨艾伊尔战争会有关系吗?说起来,本来霄晨和艾伊尔不算有仇恨,霄晨抓的Wise ones多数是Perrin送给他们的,跟着他的wise ones还说活该。最后他们之间产生巨大的仇恨,还是因为,他们太相似了?
Noal was a good one to take, and if Mat could only take three, well…Noal could fight better than Olver. So it made sense for him to go.
咱还真明理啊。
His piece was on the center spot. “I won!” he exclaimed.
就像以前说过的,狐狸和蛇的游戏,可能是有一条唯一的获胜路线的,但是几率小到接近于零。 Mat一直不想让自己的运气影响Olver的游戏乐趣,所以只是“陪”Olver玩,从没有摸过骰子,而且他认为这游不可能赢,从来没有赢的欲望。而这个时候,Mat需要赢得真正的狐狸和蛇游戏,他强大的需求,也影响了Olver的游戏,所以这个游戏就变得可以赢了。
Honestly, Mat could be so prim sometimes, acting as if Olver could not take care of himself.
Mat会被人这么说啊,哈哈。 Verin的信:
Matrim, If you are opening this, then I am dead. I had planned to return and release you of your oath in a single day. There are many potential complications to my next task, however, and a large chance that I will not survive. I needed to know that I’d left someone behind who could see this work done. Fortunately, if there’s one thing I believe I can rely upon, it is your curiosity. I suspect you lasted a few days before opening this letter, which is long enough for me to have returned if I were going to. Therefore, this task falls upon you. There is a Waygate in Caemlyn. It is guarded, barricaded, and thought secure. It is not. An enormous force of Shadowspawn moves through the Ways toward Caemlyn. I do not know when they left exactly, but there should be time to stop them. You must reach the Queen and persuade her to destroy the Waygate. It can be done; walling it up will not suffice. If you cannot destroy it, the Queen must bring all of her forces to bear upon guarding the location. If you fail in this, I fear Caemlyn will be lost before the month is out. Sincerely, Verin Mathwin
可以看到:
- Verin去Tar Valon和Mat去Caemlyn是同一天,而不是之前我以为的很多天之后,所以,Mat到达Caemlyn那天,Verin死去。这样时间就可以同步了,http://www.stevenac.net/wot/tl1000.htm这个时间表还是有问题的。
- TPOD中的Eg的预知梦实现:
Mat, weighing two Aes Sedai on a huge set of balance scales, and on his decision depended....She could not say what; something vast; the world, perhaps.
两个沙袋是Moiraine和Verin。 3. Verin对Mat彻底判断错误,导致了这次失策。她不像沐姐和Mat相处的时间很长,也不像出身市井的四万,一看就知道Mat是哪种人。他们的所有接触都是在匕首诅咒期间,所以Verin在12卷前,根本没见过正常的Mat,说她不认识他都时可以的。所以她认为Mat一定扛不住好奇心,却不知道他一定会遵守承诺。 Bergevin——红手的军需官。
Barriga的POV
Barriga——给序章的Malenarin Rai写信要去访问他的商人。
Smoke rose from Heeth Tower behind. That was where his caravan had been going. How could this be happening?
就是序章中被兽人攻击的塔,这么说Malenarin Rai,和他未满十四岁的儿子Keemlin,都死了?我上次看把他们和小狼弄混,还以为他们都获救了... 好惨。
Barriga stuttered, looking at that horrific maw and the glee in this man’s eyes as he reached in for the kill. These weren’t Aiel. They were something else.
这些带着红面纱的人是谁呢?
Rand al'Thor
Lanfear
Rand自己造梦。
Those beautiful, terrible eyes. Rand gasped, releasing her hand. The face was different. But he did know that soul. “Mierin? You’re dead. I saw you die!”
为什么Lanfear会出现在这里?
al'Lan Mandragoran
Mandarb——马
Kaisel——Kandor王子
Andere
他们到达Tarwin's Gap了。
“Lord of the Seven Towers, Defender of the Wall of First Fires, Bearer of the Sword of the Thousand Lakes! I was once named Aan’allein, but I reject that title, for I am alone no more. Fear me, Shadow! Fear me and know. I have returned for what is mine. I may be a king without a land. But I am still a king!
Lan的称号好长。好热血。
黑暗预言:
Lo, it shall come upon the world that the prison of the Greatest One shall grow weak, like the limbs of those who crafted it. Once again, His glorious cloak shall smother the Pattern of all things, and the Great Lord shall stretch forth His hand to claim what is His. The rebellious nations shall be laid barren, their children caused to weep. There shall be none but Him, and those who have turned their eyes to His majesty.
In that day, when the One-Eyed Fool travels the halls of mourning, and the First Among Vermin lifts his hand to bring freedom to Him who will Destroy, the last days of the Fallen Blacksmith’s pride shall come. Yea, and the Broken Wolf, the one whom Death has known, shall fall and be consumed by the Midnight Towers. And his destruction shall bring fear and sorrow to the hearts of men, and shall shake their very will itself.
And then, shall the Lord of the Evening come. And He shall take our eyes, for our souls shall bow before Him, and He shall take our skin, for our flesh shall serve Him, and He shall take our lips, for only Him will we praise. And the Lord of the Evening shall face the Broken Champion, and shall spill his blood and bring us the Darkness so beautiful. Let the screams begin, O followers of the Shadow. Beg for your destruction! —from The Prophecies of the Shadow
前一段和后一段,大约都是黑暗必胜之类的意思 中间,One-Eyed Fool是Mat,halls of mourning意义不明,Noal? First Among Vermin和 Him who will Destroy分别是谁? Fallen Blacksmith 和Broken Wolf都是Perrin?后者也可能是Hopper,因为the one whom Death has known,,所以引起了Graendal的误解。
