Chapter 4

Chapter 4 YOU CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN! CHELL, YOU CAN, BUT YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE WHAT YOU FIND THERE. When they first came to the field, Harper thought it was a graveyard. Play auditions were over, and school was out for the day, so Harper and her friends had returned to Minecraft. They'd left their temporary shelter for good, and they had continued their march toward coordinates 0,0—of the very center of this world.

第四章你不能再回家了！切尔，你可以，但你可能不喜欢你在那里找到的东西。 当他们第一次来到这片田地时，哈珀以为这是一个墓地。 游戏试镜结束了，学校也放假了，所以哈珀和她的朋友们又回到了《我的世界》。 他们永远地离开了临时住所，继续向坐标0,0——这个世界的正中心进发。

They were nearly there when they came across the field. It was a vast expanse of green. Every few yards, a piece of granite stood atop the grass. The blocks looked to Harper almost like simple tombstones. But they were something else entirely. "MY SCULPTURES!" said Jodi. "What happened to them?" Harper gasped. Jodi was right. She and her friends had been here before…. This was the site of Jodi's sculpture garden. She'd spent hours on it during their earliest visits, before they'd even heard the name Evoker King. They'd left the sculptures behind many weeks ago. But this world had no wind, no decay, no erosion. Harper had expected those sculptures to stand forever.

当他们穿过田野时，他们就快到了。 那是一片广阔的绿色。 每隔几码，就有一块花岗岩矗立在草地上。 在哈珀看来，这些街区几乎就像简单的墓碑。 但它们完全是另一回事。 “我的雕塑！”乔迪说。 “他们怎么了？”哈珀气喘吁吁地说。 乔迪是对的。她和她的朋友以前来过这里.... 这里曾是乔迪雕塑花园的所在地。 在他们第一次来的时候，她花了好几个小时在这上面，那时他们甚至还没听说过埃弗克·金这个名字。 他们几个星期前就把雕塑留下了。 但这个世界没有风，没有腐烂，没有侵蚀。 哈珀希望这些雕塑能永远矗立。

"What happened?" Jodi said again. "These were my masterpieces! They've all been reduced to rubble." "Our castle doesn't look much better," Morgan said. He stood atop a nearby hill. "COME SEE FOR YOURSELVES." Harper and the others climbed the hill to stand beside Morgan. From there, they had a view of the castle they'd built together, back when Ash had first joined them. Or rather, they had a view of what was left of the castle. It had been picked apart. All the doors and decorations were gone. Random blocks were missing from the walls and turrets.

“发生什么事了?”乔迪又说。 “这些是我的杰作！”他们都变成了瓦砾。” “我们的城堡看起来也好不到哪里去，”摩根说。 他站在附近的山顶上。 “你们自己来看看吧。” 哈帕和其他人爬上小山，站在摩根身边。 从那里，他们可以看到他们一起建造的城堡，当阿什第一次加入他们的时候。 或者更确切地说，他们看到了城堡的遗迹。 它被拆开了。所有的门和装饰都不见了。 墙上和炮塔上的砖块都不见了。

"Our castle," Harper said sadly. "IT LOOKS LIKE…OLD, HAUNTED RUINS." "It looks more like Swiss cheese!" Jodi said. "This is the Evoker King's doing, isn't it?" "Maybe," Ash said. "Or maybe the Librarian really needed the materials? It would be hard to be mad, in that case. We haven't seen her recently, but she's left a lot of materials behind to help us." "ANYWAY, STUFF YOU MAKE IN MINECRAFT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE PERMANENT," Morgan said. He patted his sister on her on the edge of one of her square shoulders. "IT ALL GETS RECYCLED EVENTUALLY." "Speaking of recycling, I can't believe we're all the way back to where we started!" said Po. "We basically traveled in a huge circle." "ZERO, ZERO IS THE CENTER OF THE WORLD," said Harper. "It's also our original spawn

“我们的城堡。”哈珀伤心地说。 “它看起来像……古老的闹鬼的废墟。” “它看起来更像瑞士奶酪！”乔迪说。 “这是唤醒王干的，对吗？”“也许吧。”阿什说。 “或者图书管理员真的需要这些材料？” 在这种情况下，很难发疯。 我们最近没有见到她，但她留下了很多资料来帮助我们。” “不管怎样，你在《我的世界》中制作的东西不应该是永久的，”摩根说。 他轻轻地拍了拍妹妹的肩膀。 “它们最终都会被回收利用。” “说到回收，我不敢相信我们又回到了起点！”阿宝说。 “我们基本上绕了一个大圈。” “零，零是世界的中心，”哈珀说。 “这也是我们最初的产物

point. And I believe…" She scanned their surroundings. From the hilltop, she could see a good distance. "Over there, by those trees. THAT'S WHERE THIS ALL BEGAN." "And where it ends," Morgan said. Po gulped audibly. "For the Evoker King, I mean," Morgan added quickly. "I'm sure we'll be fine…." Harper led the way down the hill and toward their spawn point. "We still don't even know what we're looking for," complained Morgan. "THE SOURCE OF THE EVOKER KING'S POWER? IT COULD BE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING." "It could be a unicorn!" said Jodi.

点。我相信……”她扫视了一下周围的环境。 从山顶上，她可以看到很远的地方。 “在那边，在那些树旁边。 这就是一切开始的地方。” “还有它的终点，”摩根说。 阿宝咽了口气。“我的意思是，为了唤醒王。”摩根赶紧补充道。 “我相信我们会没事的....” 哈珀带路下山，朝他们的产卵点走去。 “我们甚至还不知道我们要找的是什么。”摩根抱怨道。 召唤者之王的力量之源？ 它可能是任何事情。” “可能是一只独角兽！”乔迪说。

"Jodi…," said Morgan. "It could be!" she insisted. "OR…OR A MAGICAL WISHING LAMP. WITH AN AI GENIE INSIDE." "Is it a tree?" asked Po. "Because I see a tree over there. And a tree over there. And not much else." "It's underground," Harper said. "What is?" asked Ash. "The source of the Evoker King's power. HE SAID IT WAS IN A DUNGEON." She hopped up and down. "It must be beneath our feet!"

“乔迪……”摩根说。“有可能！”她坚持说。 “或者……或者一个神奇的许愿灯。” 里面有一个人工智能精灵。”“这是一棵树吗？”阿宝问。 “因为我看到那边有棵树。 那边还有一棵树。仅此而已。” “它在地下，”哈珀说。 “那是什么？”阿什问。"唤起之王的力量之源。 他说那是在地牢里。” 她跳上跳下。“它一定在我们的脚下！”
