Chapter 9

Chapter 9 A MOMENT THAT HAS LONG OVERDUE: THE LIBRARIAN COMES TO THE RESCUE! Po dragged his blocky hands against the walls. He couldn't find anything to grab hold of. He kept floating up, up…. And the ground kept getting farther away.

第九章一个姗姗来迟的时刻：图书管理员前来救援！阿宝在墙上拖着他粗壮的手。 他找不到任何可以抓住的东西。 他一直往上飘，往上飘.... 地面越来越远。

"This is going to be some major fall damage," he said. "Can't we do anything to soften the landing?" Ash said. "I still have a few potions of slow falling," Harper said. "But we can't drink potions anymore." "WAIT, LOOK DOWN THERE!" cried Jodi. "What is that?" Po squinted. Down below, he could see a strange pixelation effect. The air itself seemed to shimmer. Then there was a loud pop, and a familiar figure stood on the ground. It was the Librarian! "I'm here?" she said. She looked at her blocky hands. "I'm here! He did it!" Who did what? Po wondered. But he was certainly glad to see her. The Librarian looked like an average villager, but she was smart and very good at gathering resources. She'd been aiding them since the very beginning of their adventures. And they could sure use some aid now.

“这将是一些重大的坠落损失，”他说。 “难道我们就不能做点什么让降落的速度变缓吗？”灰说。 “我还有一些缓降药水，”哈珀说。 “但是我们不能再喝魔药了。” “等等，往下看！”乔迪叫道。 “那是什么？”阿宝眯起了双眼。 在下面，他可以看到一个奇怪的像素效果。 空气本身似乎也在闪烁。 接着，砰的一声巨响，一个熟悉的身影站在地上。 是图书管理员！“我在这儿？”她说。 她看着自己粗壮的双手。 “我在这里!他做到了！”谁做了什么？ 阿宝疑惑。不过他见到她当然很高兴。 图书管理员看起来像一个普通的村民，但她很聪明，非常善于收集资源。 从他们冒险的一开始，她就一直在帮助他们。 他们现在确实需要一些援助。

"HELP!" Po cried. "WE'RE UP HERE!" The Librarian looked up. Her eyes went wide when she saw them floating there. "Stay put!" she said. "I need to take care of this shulker first." "You can't damage it," Ash warned her. "I don't need to," said the Librarian. She produced a water bucket from her inventory. "YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET A SHULKER WET, DON'T YOU?" "Oh," Morgan said. "Of course. That's brilliant!" "What?" Po said. "What happens when you get a shulker wet?" He watched as the Librarian doused the mob with her bucket of water. As soon as the water touched it, the shulker teleported away. "That happens," said the Librarian.

“救命!”阿宝哭了。“我们在上面！”图书管理员抬起头来。 当她看到它们漂浮在那里时，她睁大了眼睛。 “别动！”她说。“我得先处理好这个潜影。” “你不能破坏它。”阿什警告她。 “我不需要。”图书管理员说。 她从库存中拿出一个水桶。 “你知道把潜影弄湿会发生什么，对吧？”“哦，”摩根说。 “当然。那是太好了!”“什么?”阿宝说。 “如果你把潜影弄湿了会怎么样？”他看着图书管理员用她那桶水浇了这群人。 水一接触到潜影，它就瞬间移动了。 “这是常有的事。”图书管理员说。

She didn't pause to celebrate her victory, though. She immediately set to work building a column, leaping into the air and placing bricks beneath her feet, one after the other. She had almost reached them when Po felt a lurching sensation in his stomach. They weren't levitating anymore. They were falling! The Librarian stopped building her column. She now focused on building out instead of up, creating a flat block structure high above the ground. Po fell onto the platform, and his friends all landed nearby. It didn't hurt, because they hadn't fallen very far.

不过，她并没有停下来庆祝胜利。 她立刻开始搭柱子，跳向空中，把砖头一块接一块地放在脚下。 她快走到他们跟前时，阿宝感到胃里一阵痉挛。 他们不再漂浮了。 他们在坠落！图书管理员停止制作她的专栏。 她现在专注于向外建造，而不是向上建造，创造了一个高于地面的扁平块状结构。 阿宝掉到了平台上，他的朋友们都落在了附近。 这并不疼，因为他们并没有摔得很远。

He peered over the edge of the platform. The ground was far below them. That would have hurt. "Thanks for the help," he said. "I'm just glad I got here in time," she said. "The Evoker King found a way to lock me out. But I've got a hacker on my SIDE—AND HE WAS ABLE TO FIND A WEAKNESS IN THE KING'S FIREWALL." "So you're not another artificial consciousness," Harper said. "You're a person. You've got the missing sixth headset!" "That's right," said the Librarian. "I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WONKY ABOUT DOC'S INVENTION, and I wanted to make sure you were all safe. You've probably guessed my identity by now."

他从站台边缘往外看。 地面远在他们下面。 那会很痛苦的。“谢谢你的帮助，”他说。 “我很高兴我及时赶到了这里，”她说。 “唤起者之王找到了把我锁在外面的方法。 不过我这边有个黑客，他能找到国王防火墙的漏洞。” “所以你不是另一个人工意识，”哈珀说。 “你是一个人。你找到了丢失的第六个耳机！”“没错。”图书管理员说。 “我知道博士的发明有些不可靠，我想确保你们都是安全的。 你现在大概已经猜到我的身份了。”

"ARE YOU THE LUNCH LADY?" Po guessed. "The principal? Oh my gosh. Are you Amelia Earhart? So that's what happened to you!" "You're Ms. Minerva," said Morgan. "Aren't you?" The Librarian smiled. "You're right." Po's mouth hung open. Their teacher had been helping them all along? She'd been the one filling chests with valuable resources and top-tier enchanted weapons?

“你是送午餐的女士吗？”阿宝猜。 “校长?我的天啊。 你是Amelia Earhart吗？原来这就是你的遭遇！”“你是女士。 密涅瓦。”摩根说。“是吗?”图书管理员笑了。 “你说得对。”阿宝张着嘴。 他们的老师一直在帮助他们。 是她在箱子里装满了宝贵的资源和顶级的魔法武器？
