Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Princess Pulverizer was thinking. And pacing. Back and forth. Back and forth. As she paced, she was aware of the griffin's eagle eyes. He was staring straight down at her —keeping track of her every move. Back and forth. Back and—ZZZ... ZZZZ... "What was that?" the princess asked nervously. "Shhh...," Lucas warned her. He pointed up toward the ledge outside the cave. Princess Pulverizer looked up. It was the griffin. He was almost asleep. "Griffins snore?!" Princess Pulverizer exclaimed. "That's a surprise!" The sound of her voice woke the griffin. His yellow eyes opened wide. He glared at her

第6章粉碎机公主在思考。 和节奏。来来回回。 来来回回。当她踱步时，她注意到了狮鹫鹰一般的眼睛。 他直勾勾地盯着她——注视着她的一举一动。 来来回回。回and-ZZZ…… 睡眠…“那是什么？”公主紧张地问。 “嘘……卢卡斯警告她。 他指着山洞外的岩架。 粉碎机公主抬起头。 是狮鹫。他几乎睡着了。 “狮鹫打鼾? !”粉碎机公主叫道。 “真是个惊喜！”她的声音惊醒了狮鹫。 他的黄眼睛睁得大大的。 他怒视着她

angrily. "Oops," the princess said in a much quieter voice. She began thinking and pacing again. Back and forth. Back and forth. "He's getting sleepy," Lucas whispered as the princess paced. "His eyes are droopy. I wonder why." The princess shrugged. "No idea," she said, stopping her pacing long enough to wipe her brow. The light coming from the mouth of the cave reflected off the giant ruby on her finger.

愤怒的。“哎哟！”公主用一种安静多了的声音说。 她又开始思考和踱步。 来来回回。来来回回。 “他困了，”卢卡斯低声说，公主在踱步。 “他的眼睛耷拉着。我不知道为什么。” 公爵小姐耸了耸肩。“不知道。”她停下脚步，擦了擦额头。 从洞口射来的光反射在她手指上的巨大红宝石上。

The griffin's eyes shot open at the sight of the bright red light. "It's the ring!" Lucas whispered excitedly. He pointed to the princess's left hand. The light was reflecting off the big red ruby. "He's watching your ring while you move. It's hypnotizing him." Hypnotizing? Is it possible? "You know, one time a hypnotist came to our palace to put on a show," Princess Pulverizer told Lucas. "He hypnotized the Prince of Fergerberger. Every time a bell rang, the prince barked like a dog and tried to chase his tail." SQUAWROARK! Uh-oh. The griffin was wide awake now.

狮鹫一看到明亮的红光就睁大了眼睛。 “是戒指！”卢卡斯兴奋地小声说。 他指着公主的左手。 光反射着那颗红色的大红宝石。 “你移动的时候，他在看着你的戒指。 这是在催眠他。”催眠吗? 这可能吗？“你知道，有一次一个催眠师来到我们的宫殿表演，”普瓦瑞尔公主告诉卢卡斯。 “他催眠了费格伯格王子。 每次铃声一响，王子就像狗一样吠叫，试图追赶自己的尾巴。” SQUAWROARK !哦。狮鹫现在完全清醒了。

"Start pacing again," Lucas begged the princess. Princess Pulverizer did not like to be told what to do. She was the one who was supposed to give the orders. After all, she was the Royal Princess of Empiria and— SQUAWROARK! Okay, maybe I'll take orders this one time, Princess Pulverizer thought. That griffin is one dangerous creature. The princess began pacing again, making sure the light hit the ring as she swung her arms back and forth. "You are getting sleepy," Princess Pulverizer said in a soft, soothing voice. Well, at least as soft and soothing as she could manage. Princess Pulverizer was not a soft, soothing kind of girl. ZZZZZZZZ. ZZZZZZZ. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Princess Pulverizer smiled to herself. She had managed to outwit a griffin. The big lion-bird was sleeping like a baby. But for how long?

“重新开始踱步吧。”卢卡斯恳求公主。 粉碎机公主不喜欢别人告诉她该做什么。 她才是那个应该发号施令的人。 毕竟，她是帝国的皇家公主。好吧，也许这一次我该听命于人，普莱瑞公主想。 那只狮鹫是一种危险的生物。 公主又开始踱步，确保灯光照在戒指上，同时来回摆动手臂。 “你困了。”普瓦瑞尔公主用柔和、抚慰的声音说。 好吧，至少是她能做到的最温柔和抚慰。 粉碎机公主不是一个温柔的，抚慰人心的女孩。 ZZZZZZZZ。ZZZZZZZ。ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ。 粉碎机公主暗自笑了。 她成功地智胜了一只狮鹫。 这只大狮鸟像婴儿一样睡着了。 但能维持多久呢？

Princess Pulverizer wasn't about to wait around and find out. "Quick," she whispered, grabbing Lucas and pulling him out of the cave. "Now's our chance!"

粉碎机公主可不想坐以待见。 “快，”她小声说，一把抓住卢卡斯，把他拉出了山洞。 “我们的机会来了！”
