Chapter 5

Chapter 5 JOIN THE DEFENSIVE CIRCLE TODAY! YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID. Harper led the way into the forest. She let the footprints guide her. "Evoker King?" cried Jodi, creeping along behind her. "ARE YOU OUT HERE, EVOKER KING?" "Man, that name is a mouthful," said Po. "When we find him, we should really suggest something a little easier. Like Bob!" "I don't think we should be shouting anything right now," said Morgan. "It's dark under these trees. Something dangerous could spawn here." "We might be following something dangerous," Harper added. "If these are the Evoker King's tracks… IF HE SURVIVED WHATEVER HAPPENED BACK

第五章今天就加入防御圈吧！你会很高兴这么做的。 哈珀带路进了森林。 她让脚印指引她。 “埃弗克·金？”乔迪在她身后爬着叫道。 “你在外面吗，国王？”阿宝说：“伙计，这个名字太拗口了。” “当我们找到他的时候，我们真的应该提出一些更简单的建议。 像鲍勃!”“我觉得我们现在不应该喊什么。”摩根说。 “树下很黑。 危险的东西可能在这里滋生。” “我们可能在追踪一些危险的东西，”哈珀补充说。 “如果这些是唤起王的足迹……如果他在过去发生的一切中幸存下来

THERE…WHY would he have come this way? Why avoid us?" "Yeah. Hope for the best," Theo said. He pulled a splash potion from his inventory. "But be prepared for anything." Harper certainly hoped they would find the Evoker King. He was an AI so advanced that he had emotions—and he loved Minecraft as much as Harper and her friends did! Her mind reeled thinking about how much they could learn from him, if only they got the chance. As they walked on, Harper noticed something strange. A block of wood was missing from a nearby tree's trunk. A minute later, she saw the missing block of wood on the ground ahead. Based on the footprints, whoever they were following had moved that block of wood. And now she saw similar signs all along the path: A block of dirt missing from the ground. A block of spruce wood stuck onto an oak tree. The signs appeared completely random.

他为什么要走这条路？ 为什么躲着我们？”“是的。抱最好的希望，”西奥说。 他从他的库存中取出一种飞溅药水。 “但要做好一切准备。” 哈珀当然希望他们能找到闪回之王。 他是一个非常先进的人工智能，他有情感，他和哈珀和她的朋友们一样喜欢我的世界！一想到只要有机会，他们能从他身上学到多少东西，她就心惊胆战。 他们继续往前走，哈珀注意到一些奇怪的事情。 附近一棵树的树干上少了一块木头。 一分钟后，她看到了前面地上丢失的那块木头。 根据脚印来看，他们跟踪的人移动了那块木头。 现在，她在路上看到了类似的迹象：地上少了一块土。 粘在橡树上的一块云杉木。 这些迹象看起来完全是随机的。

While she wondered about that, Harper spotted a butterfly flitting between the trees. It took her a moment to realize—there were no butterflies in Minecraft. She looked back at where it had been. There was nothing there. Maybe Po was right. Maybe she needed to get her eyes checked. The trees parted, revealing a clearing in the forest. Clouds had moved in to cover the square sun, making the light dim, but Harper could see a figure standing on the far side of the clearing. It was tall and blocky, and it seemed to be stacking blocks. "I think that's him," Jodi said.

正当她对此感到疑惑时，哈珀发现一只蝴蝶在树间飞舞。 她花了一点时间才意识到——《我的世界》里没有蝴蝶。 她回头看了看它原来在的地方。 那里什么也没有。也许阿宝是对的。 也许她需要检查一下眼睛。 树木分开，在森林中露出一片空地。 云层遮住了方正的太阳，光线变得暗淡，但哈珀能看到空地的另一边站着一个人影。 它又高又粗，看起来像是在堆积木。 “我想就是他，”乔迪说。

"It looks like him," Harper agreed. She felt a rush of hope, and cried out, "EVOKER KING! HELLO? OVER HERE!" The figure paused at the sound of her voice. It turned to look at them. "That's not the Evoker King," said Morgan. "That's an enderman. Harper, don't look!" Too late. Harper turned her head, but the enderman had seen her staring. And endermen hated to be stared at. The mob emitted a low, terrifying shriek. Harper risked taking another look—but it was gone. "IT'S TELEPORTING!" she said, and as soon as the warning left her mouth, the enderman appeared right in the middle of their group! With a wave of its long arm, it sent Harper stumbling backward. Then it swung at the others. Jodi and Morgan were both hit.

“看起来像他。”哈珀表示同意。 她感到一种希望的冲动，喊道：“EVOKER国王！喂? 在这里!”那个身影听到她的声音停了下来。 它转过身来看着他们。 “那不是唤醒王。”摩根说。 “那是一个终结者。哈珀，别看！”太迟了。 哈帕转过头来，但终结者已经看到她在盯着她。 终末人讨厌被人盯着看。 人群发出一声低沉而可怕的尖叫。 哈珀冒险再看了一眼——但它不见了。 “它在传送！”她说，警告一离开她的嘴，末日使者就出现在他们中间了！它一挥长臂，把哈珀打得踉踉跄跄。 然后，它朝其他的人抡了抡。 乔迪和摩根都被击中了。

"OH NO, YOU DON'T!" said Po, and he readied his weapon. If it weren't such a serious moment, Harper would have laughed at the sight of a butterfly armed with a sword. Funny or not, Po's attack was useless. The enderman teleported away again, and Po's sword swept through empty air. "IT'S FAST," said Po. "Unusually fast," said Morgan. Then the enderman appeared right behind him, striking him again before blinking away. "Ow!" said Morgan. He looked around the clearing, frantic. "I don't think I can take many more hits like that one." "Everyone, clump up!" said Harper. "Put your backs together so it can't sneak behind us." "No, we should go on the offensive!" said Theo. "I'VE FOUGHT PLENTY OF ENDERMEN BEFORE."

“哦，不，你不能！”阿宝说，他准备好了他的武器。 如果不是这样一个严肃的时刻，哈珀看到一只拿着剑的蝴蝶会笑。 不管有趣与否，阿宝的攻击毫无用处。 末日使者再次瞬移，阿宝的剑在空中扫过。 “它很快，”阿宝说。“异常快。”摩根说。 接着，末日使者出现在他身后，又打了他一拳，然后眨巴着眼睛走开了。 “噢！”摩根说。他疯狂地环视着空地。 “我想我再也承受不了像那样的打击了。” “大家都过来！”哈帕说。 “把你们的背靠在一起，这样它就不能从我们后面溜走了。” “不，我们应该进攻！”西奥说。 “我以前打过很多末末人。”

Po and Morgan joined Harper. They drew their weapons and stood back to back. Fighting mobs was not Jodi's preferred way of experiencing Minecraft, but she knew a good idea when she heard it. She quickly joined them in the defensive circle. Theo, however, stood alone. "Don't be careless," said Po. "Theo," Jodi hissed to get his attention. "Get over here," said Harper. Thunder rumbled overhead. Suddenly, the enderman reappeared right in front of Harper. She slashed with her sword, and its eyes flashed— And her sword disappeared.

阿宝和摩根加入了哈珀。 他们拔出武器，背靠背站着。 与怪物战斗并不是Jodi体验《我的世界》的首选方式，但当她听到这个主意时，她知道这是个好主意。 她很快加入了他们的防御圈。 西奥却独自站着。 “不要粗心，”阿宝说。 “西奥。”乔迪用嘶嘶声引起他的注意。 “过来。”哈帕说。 头顶上雷声隆隆。突然，末日使者又出现在哈珀面前。 她挥剑猛砍，剑眼闪烁——她的剑消失了。
