Chapter 14

Chapter 14 A NEW DAY DAWNS! AN UNKNOWN DANGER LOOMs... Anew day dawned on the Minecraft village. Ash and her friends were there to greet it. But they also had work to do. They had depleted their inventory while fighting off the monstrous mobs. Their tools and weapons were all damaged. Food was in scarce supply. Together, they came up with a plan to get themselves back on their feet as quickly as possible. Morgan focused on digging. The mountain was rich in mineral ores. And what they couldn't use, they could trade. He was careful not to dig too deep, though. He'd had enough of hostile mobs

第14章新的一天开始了！一个未知的危险逼近…… 《我的世界》的村庄迎来了新的一天。 阿什和她的朋友们在那里迎接它。 但他们也有工作要做。 他们在与怪物的战斗中耗尽了库存。 他们的工具和武器都损坏了。 食物供应不足。 他们一起想出了一个尽快让自己重新站起来的计划。 摩根专注于挖掘。 这座山有丰富的矿石。 他们不能用的东西，他们可以交易。 不过，他很小心，没有挖得太深。 他受够了充满敌意的暴民

for a while. At one point, the sound of a single bat squeaking sent him running for the hills. Jodi was on Overworld duty. She hacked up trees, gathered apples, and tended crops. With the bone meal from defeated skeletons as fertilizer, the crops grew extremely fast. Po was their runner. In his custom mail carrier skin, he would visit Morgan and Jodi, and they would give him any extra materials they didn't need to keep. Then he would deliver those materials to Ash before turning around to do it all over again. It was Ash's job to trade the extra materials with the villagers. She had been keeping track of what was in their inventory, so she had a good idea of what they still needed. She was especially excited to trade their rotting zombie flesh to the priest, who then offered lapis lazuli for sale.

有一段时间。有一次，一只蝙蝠的吱吱声把他吓跑了。 乔迪在上界执勤。 她砍树，摘苹果，照料庄稼。 用枯骨的骨粉作肥料，庄稼长得非常快。 阿宝是他们的赛跑选手。他会穿着定制的邮递员的衣服去拜访摩根和乔迪，他们会给他任何不需要保存的额外材料。 然后他会把这些材料交给阿什，然后转身再来一遍。 阿什的工作就是和村民们交换多余的材料。 她一直在记录他们的库存，所以她很清楚他们还需要什么。 她特别兴奋地把腐烂的僵尸肉卖给牧师，然后牧师拿出青金石来出售。

Lapis lazuli was a rare ore in a strikingly beautiful shade of blue. No doubt Po or Jodi would love to get their hands on it. But Ash knew of another use for lapis lazuli. She passed it to Harper, who was in charge of crafting new tools to replace their damaged items. "Do you know what to do with this?" Ash asked as she handed over the lapis. Harper smiled. "I sure do." Harper let Ash tag along when she went to the village library. Together, they approached the enchanting table with its eerie floating book. As before, the book opened at their approach. "Magic," Ash breathed. "Real magic!" "With the lapis, along with all the experience points we got for fighting the mobs, WE CAN DO SOME MAGIC OF OUR OWN." She rubbed her blocky hands together. "So where do we start? A flaming sword? A helmet that deflects arrows?" Ash thought about it. "But which one of us would wear the helmet? WHO WOULD GET TO WIELD THE SWORD? I wonder if there's an option that will benefit all of us at the same time." "Let's think about it," Harper said. Then she looked around. "Huh. That's weird."

青金石是一种罕见的矿石，有着惊人美丽的蓝色阴影。 毫无疑问阿宝和乔迪会很乐意得到它的。 但阿什知道青金石的另一种用途。 她把它递给哈珀，哈珀负责制作新工具来替换他们损坏的物品。 “你知道该怎么处理这个吗？”艾什把青金石递给她时问道。 哈珀笑了。“我当然知道。” 哈珀去乡村图书馆时让阿什跟着她。 他们一起走近那张迷人的桌子，桌子上放着一本怪异的漂浮的书。 和以前一样，他们走近时，书打开了。 “魔法。”“真正的魔法!”“有了青金石，加上我们在与暴徒战斗中获得的经验值，我们就可以施展自己的魔法了。” 她搓着她那双粗壮的手。 “那么我们从哪里开始呢？”一把燃烧的剑？ 一顶能挡箭的头盔？”阿什想了想。 “但是我们谁会戴头盔呢？” 谁来挥舞这把剑？ 我想知道是否有一种选择能让我们所有人同时受益。” “让我们考虑一下，”哈珀说。 然后她环顾四周。“嗯。 这很奇怪。”

"What is?" asked Ash. "I haven't seen that librarian at all today," Harper answered. "I assumed she'd be in here." "That is strange," said Ash. Villagers were usually very predictable. She sighed. "One more mystery. Add it to the list." After a few in-game days of preparation, Ash finally felt confident that they were ready to move on. "I'M EAGER TO SEE WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE," she said. "Even if it's not friendly?" asked Morgan. Jodi hopped in place. "We handled that horde," she said. "We can handle anything!" "Neither snow nor rain will stop us," said Po, quoting an old postal service motto. "And I've got something to make the journey a little easier," said Harper. She held up a fishing rod for all to see. "TA-DA!" "Yes!" said Jodi. "Finally, we'll be able to eat something other than apples and bread." "But it's not just any old fishing rod," Harper said. "I enchanted it, so fishing will be easier." "OUR FIRST ENCHANTED ITEM," said Po.

“那是什么？”阿什问。“我今天根本没见到那个图书管理员。”哈帕回答。 “我以为她会在这里。” “真奇怪。”阿什说。 村民们通常都很容易预测。 她叹了口气。“还有一个谜。 把它添加到列表中。”经过几天的游戏准备后，Ash终于确信他们已经准备好继续前进了。 “我很想看看外面还有什么，”她说。 “即使它不友好？”摩根问。 乔迪跳了起来。“我们处理了那群人，”她说。 “我们可以处理任何事情！”“无论雨雪都阻挡不了我们，”阿宝引用一句古老的邮政格言说道。 哈珀说：“我有一些东西可以让这次旅行轻松一点。” 她举起一根钓竿给大家看。 “哈哈!”“是的！”乔迪说。 “终于，我们可以吃苹果和面包以外的东西了。” 哈珀说：“但这可不是普通的鱼竿。” “我给它施了魔法，这样钓鱼就容易多了。” “我们的第一件魔法物品。”阿宝说。

"Now, that's a special delivery!" Jodi poked him and said, "Enough with the postal humor. Return to sender, mailman." "Male man?" said Po. "Isn't that redundant?" Ash noticed Morgan was lost in thought. "WHAT'S THE MATTER, MORGAN?" she asked. Morgan seemed hesitant to say anything. "I've been thinking," he said at last. "We figured out the mobs were relocating like the bats did. But the bats relocated for a reason. They were driven out of their home—out of their habitat." "I think I see where you're going with this," said Ash. "Right," said Morgan. "I'm wondering: WHY WERE THE MONSTERS RELOCATING? What happened to their habitat? Were they fleeing from something?" "Fleeing?" said Jodi. "You think the monsters were running away?" "RUNNING AWAY FROM WHAT?" asked Po. "Yeah. What could possibly scare a whole horde of zombies and skeletons?" asked Harper. Morgan turned toward the mountain. "THE ANSWER'S OUT THERE SOMEWHERE." He gripped his newly crafted iron sword. "IT'S UP TO US TO FIND IT."

“这是一份特殊的快递！”乔迪戳了戳他，说：“别再搞邮政幽默了。 回到寄件人那里，邮递员。” “男人？”阿宝说。“那不是多余的吗？”艾什注意到摩根陷入了沉思。 “怎么了，摩根？”她问。 摩根似乎犹豫着说什么。 “我一直在想，”他终于说。 “我们发现暴徒像蝙蝠一样迁移。 但蝙蝠迁移是有原因的。 他们被赶出了家园，离开了栖息地。” “我想我明白你的意思了，”阿什说。 “对，”摩根说。“我在想：为什么怪物要迁移？” 它们的栖息地发生了什么？ 他们是在逃避什么吗？”“逃跑？”乔迪问。 “你认为怪物是在逃跑吗？”“逃避什么？”阿宝问。 “是的。什么能吓到一大群僵尸和骷髅呢？”哈珀问。 摩根转向那座山。 “答案就在某处。” 他紧握着他新制作的铁剑。 “找到它取决于我们。”
