Chapter 11

Chapter 11 EVEN AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CAN MAKE A MISTAKE... AND HAVE BAD BREATH! Morgan liked this plan. It was risky, sure. But it was probably less risky than fighting their way through the Evoker King's fortress. And he didn't love the fact that they'd had to split up. It was going to be just three of them against a power-mad artificial consciousness, and he didn't love those odds. Of course, that was assuming they could even get the King's attention…. "I think this'll do it," said Ash. "Don't you?"

即使是人工智能也会犯错… 还有口臭！摩根喜欢这个计划。 当然，这很冒险。但这可能比在Evoker国王的堡垒中杀出一条血路要危险得多。 他不喜欢他们不得不分开的事实。 只有他们三个人来对抗一个对权力着迷的人工意识，他不喜欢这样的机会。 当然，这是假设他们甚至可以得到国王的注意.... “我想这就行了。”阿什说。 “你不要?”

"Oh, yeah," said Theo. "THERE'S NO WAY HE CAN IGNORE THIS." Morgan looked up at their handiwork. Where huge obsidian letters had once spelled out a warning —Beware the Evoker King—they now spelled out something else entirely. Beware the Evoker King's Bad Breath.

“哦，是的，”西奥说。“他不可能忽视这一点。” 摩根抬头看着他们的杰作。 在巨大的黑曜石字母曾经拼出的警告——当心唤醒王——现在拼出了完全不同的东西。 当心唤醒王的口臭。

"It's a true work of art," said Morgan. "Then I guess we're ready," said Ash. "Hit it!" "OH, EVOOOOOKER KING," crooned Theo. "We're down here!" "We know you can see us!" yelled Morgan. "Just look at what Theo has done to your beautiful sign!" cried Ash. They waited to see what would happen. Except for the rain, the world was still and silent. Morgan started to worry. Maybe the Evoker King wasn't at home. Maybe he wasn't going to take the bait. He needn't have worried. There was a great flash of light, and a sound like thunder. For just a moment, Morgan thought it was the storm. But then he saw the jagged hole at the top of the tower and the shadowy figure who stood within it. The Evoker King had blasted a hole right through his own wall.

“这是一件真正的艺术品，”摩根说。 “那么我想我们准备好了。”阿什说。 “打它!”“哦，evooooker国王，”西奥低吟道。 “我们在下面呢！”“我们知道你能看见我们！”摩根喊道。 “看看西奥对你漂亮的招牌做了什么！” 他们等着看会发生什么事。 除了雨，世界是寂静的。 摩根开始担心了。也许唤起之王不在家。 也许他不打算上钩。 他本不必担心。一道巨大的闪光，还有一声雷鸣般的声音。 有那么一瞬间，摩根以为是暴风雨。 但接着他看到了塔顶上那个参差不齐的洞，还有站在洞里的那个影子。 Evoker国王在他自己的墙上炸了一个洞。

Morgan felt a rush of nervousness as he laid eyes on the Evoker King at last. He…or it…looked nothing like Morgan had expected. The

摩根终于看到了Evoker国王，他感到一阵紧张。 他，或者说它，看起来和摩根想象的完全不一样。 的

Evoker King was more menacing than before. The AI's outer layer was now transparent, and he crackled with energy both inside and out. Morgan could see inside the figure. Rather than organs or muscles or blood or Minecraft blocks, the Evoker King's see- through skin contained swirling pixels of light. He looked like a living galaxy—a digital constellation given humanoid shape. His eyes glowed with malice. "HOW DARE you!" boomed the voice of the Evoker King, and spirals of wild energy sparkled and swirled around his fists. The lights in his chest pulsated with power, and his facial features flickered as he spoke. Now, as he scowled down at them, his face seemed more monstrous than before. MORGAN HAD TO FIGHT A SUDDEN DESIRE TO RUN AND HIDE. "You just can't help yourselves, can you?" said their foe. He was floating above their heads, just out of reach. "You're worse than a wild band of creepers. You bring chaos everywhere you go! You break and you take whatever you want. You disrupt the natural order!"

埃弗克·金比以前更具威胁性。 AI的外层现在是透明的，他内外都充满了能量。 摩根可以看到人影的内部。 Evoker King的透明皮肤包含旋转的光像素，而不是器官、肌肉、血液或Minecraft块。 他看起来像一个活生生的星系——一个人形的数字星座。 他的眼睛里闪烁着恶意的光芒。 “你怎么敢！”埃沃克国王的声音轰轰烈烈，狂野的能量螺旋在他的拳头周围闪烁和旋转。 他胸中的光因力量而跳动，说话时他的五官在闪烁。 现在，当他怒视着他们时，他的脸似乎比以前更可怕了。 摩根不得不克制突然产生的逃跑和躲藏的欲望。 “你们就是忍不住，是吧？”他们的敌人说。 他漂浮在他们头顶上，刚好够不着。 “你们比一群野藤蔓还坏。 你所到之处都带来混乱！你打破了，想拿什么就拿什么。 你扰乱了自然秩序！”

"You're one to talk!" said Morgan. "TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE SINCE YOU GOT THE FOUNDATION STONE." "Morgan's right," said Ash. "You've broken the world!" "I've fixed the world!" said the King. "I made it so that nothing would ever change again. NO MORE CHAOS! Only order!" "The Evoker King turned his flat digital eyes on Theo. "And then you came along. You did this, didn't you? You found a way to break my rules!" "I SURE DID!" said Theo. "Me, Theo! I HAVE COOL HACKING SKILLS! You want to see them in action?" "I've seen enough," said the Evoker King. That high-pitched horn sounded again, and three vexes appeared. That, at least, is a typical evoker move, Morgan thought. But then the Evoker King summoned zombies. And skeletons. And armed and angry illagers. In the time it took Morgan to blink, he and his

“你有资格说话！”摩根说。 “看看你拿到基石后都干了些什么。” “摩根说得对。”阿什说。 “你打破了世界！”“我把世界修好了！”国王说。 “我这样做是为了什么都不会再改变。 不要再乱了！只有秩序!”唤起之王把他那双扁平的数码眼睛转向西奥。 “然后你出现了。是你干的，对吗？ 你想办法打破我的规矩！”“当然！”西奥说。 “我,西奥!我有很酷的黑客技术！你想看他们的表演吗？”“我已经看够了。”埃弗克国王说。 那尖利的号角又响了，出现了三个烦恼。 摩根想，这至少是一个典型的招数。 但后来唤起者之王召唤了僵尸。 和骨架。还有武装和愤怒的村民。 在摩根眨眼的时间里，他和他的
