Chapter 24

chapter twenty-four The celebration in Fleeghaven lasts all night—and not a single drop of Neat-O Buzz flows (just to be safe, and also 'cause it's gross). But Quint, Dirk, and Drooler sleep straight through the fun times, slumbering hard at the Weary Traveler Inn. They probably would have slept through the next day, too, if not for Kimmy's high-pitched voice erupting inside each of their brains, simultaneously, screaming: "RISE AND SHINE, SLEEPYHEADS! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, SLUMBER THE WHOLE DAY AWAY?" Dirk whacks the side of his head, trying to hit snooze—before realizing you can't hit snooze on a telepathic wake-up call. Soon, one by one, the adventurers shamble out of the inn. As they step outside, something stops them in their tracks. "Would you look at that..." Quint says. "Some fine carving," Dirk says. "Skaelka must have been busy."

第二十四章弗利格港的庆祝活动持续了一整夜——没有一滴尼特·欧·巴斯的饮料流出来（只是为了安全，也因为太恶心了）。 但昆特、德克和流口水在“疲惫旅行者旅馆”里睡得很沉，直接度过了欢乐时光。 他们可能也会睡到第二天，如果不是因为吉米的高音同时在他们每个人的大脑里爆发，尖叫：“起床了，瞌睡虫！”你要怎么做，睡上一整天吗？”德克敲了敲自己的脑袋，想打个盹——但他意识到，心灵感应的叫醒电话是无法让你打个盹儿的。 很快，冒险家们一个接一个地摇摇晃晃地走出了客栈。 当他们走出去时，有什么东西阻止了他们。 “你看那个……” 五度音说。“一些精美的雕刻，”德克说。 “斯卡卡一定很忙。”

It is a statue of themselves. Dirk holding a sword and Quint with his conjuror's cannon. They look huge, powerful, imposing, heroic, and Kimmy stands in front, beaming at them. So you love it, right? Go on. Say you love it. I can tell you love it. "I do," Quint says. His voice is quiet and full of awe. "I really, really do." "Course they love it!" a voice calls out. "It was my idea!" Quint and Dirk turn to see Galamelon grinning. He stands at the half-destroyed Cine-Bites meal truck, which he has turned into a rinky-dink souvenir stand. "The monsterfolk are letting you stay?" Dirk asks, making his way to Galamelon. "They're not gonna ride you out of town on a rail?"

这是他们自己的雕像。 德克拿着剑，昆特拿着魔术师的大炮。 他们看起来高大、有力、威严、英勇，吉米站在前面，微笑着看着他们。 所以你喜欢它，对吧？继续。 说你喜欢它。我看得出来你很喜欢。 “是的，”昆特说。他的声音平静而充满敬畏。 “我真的，真的很喜欢。”“他们当然喜欢！”一个声音喊道。 “这是我的主意！”昆特和德克转过身来，看到加隆在咧嘴笑。 他站在被毁了一半的Cine-Bites餐车前，把它变成了一个冰镇饮料纪念品摊。 “怪物们让你留下来了？”德克向加隆走去，问道。 “他们不会让你坐火车出城吧？”

Are you kidding? I have been reading out of many towns on many rares,but not this day. After my perfectly timed stuffy pool, which went exactly according to our plan,Owen, when the monster love me. No, we don't. Dirk rolls his eyes. "Well, Galamelon, it's been... I dunno. It's been something." "Ahem. Aren't you forgetting this?" Galamelon asks, and his hand suddenly opens, revealing Dirk's wallet. "HEY, GIMME THAT!" Dirk exclaims, snatching the wallet from Galamelon's hand and stalking off. "Freaking Galamelon..." Dirk finds Quint with Kimmy, leaning against the Wrangler. Nearby, Skaelka is busy sharpening a new axe.

你在开玩笑吧？我读过很多镇的很多珍本，但今天没有。 欧文，在我的泳池完全按照我们的计划进行之后，等怪物爱上我的时候。 不，我们没有。德克翻了个白眼。 “好了，加隆，这是…… 我不晓得。这很了不起。” “嗯哼。你不会忘了吧？”加隆问道，他的手突然张开，露出德克的钱包。 “嘿，把那个给我！”德克惊叫一声，从加隆手里抢过钱包，溜掉了。 (译者注:Galamelon……”德克发现昆特和吉米在一起，靠着牧马人。 不远处，斯卡卡正忙着磨一把新斧头。

Quint elbows Kimmy and asks her the same question she asked them, two days earlier. "So... you in? You should definitely be in. Say you're in." "In?" Kimmy asks. "In for coming with us! To join the fight!" Dirk sidles up next to them, crossing his arms. "Can't believe I'm saying this, but those brain-poking powers of yours—they'd be good to have around." Kimmy frowns. "Ugh, I wish. I really do! But... this is my home—and I'm staying. Don't start getting all wet in the eye sockets, though, I'll be seeing you soon. Y'know, on account of me having taken, like, nineteen dozen brain-snapshots of you—plus a few real pics, too." Dirk groans. "But for real," Kimmy says. "Thank you. Ears crossed that we get to hang again. And when I see you, you guys are gonna be so pumped. Especially you, ol' lovable, huggable Skaelka!"

昆特用胳膊肘顶着吉米，问了她两天前问过他们的同一个问题。 “所以……你在吗?你绝对应该加入。 说你愿意。”“在吗?”吉米问。 “谢谢你和我们一起来！”加入战斗！”德克交叉着双臂，侧身走到他们旁边。 “我真不敢相信我会这么说，但你那种戳脑子的能力——有了它们会很好。” 吉米皱眉。“啊，我倒希望如此。 真的！但是…这是我的家，我要留下来。 不过别把眼眶都弄湿了，我们很快就会再见的。 你知道，因为我给你拍了大约19打大脑快照，还有一些真实的照片。” 德克呻吟。“但这是真的，”吉米说。 “谢谢。但愿我们能再次被绞死。 我见到你们的时候，你们一定会兴奋得不得了。 尤其是你，可爱可爱的斯卡卡！”

I love all this embracing skelter does not hug And so, it is nearly time for the heroes to bid goodbye to the town of Fleeghaven. Monsterfolk crowd around them, offering thanks and handing over balls of freshly harvested dough. "Don't like long goodbyes," Dirk says. He taps the mapparatus, bringing the screen flickering to life. "Time to get a move on."

我喜欢这拥抱，斯克尔特没有拥抱所以，英雄们是时候和弗利格港镇说再见了。 怪物们围在他们周围，向他们表示感谢，并把刚收获的面团团递给他们。 “我不喜欢长时间的道别，”德克说。 他轻敲设备，让屏幕闪烁起来。 “是时候行动了。”

"Right," Quint says. "Just, um, one second. One last thing I gotta do." Walking to Galamelon's shop, Quint doesn't know what he's going to say. He doesn't even know what he wants to say. "Greetings!" Galamelon exclaims, as Quint approaches. "You look like someone in need of conjuring lessons! And I'm just the master conjurer to guide you on your journey!" Quint frowns. "Dude, it's me." Galamelon looks away. "I know," he says softly. After that, neither of them seems to know what to say. They stare at their feet for a long while. And they just might keep staring at their feet, too, if not for Kimmy. "Ugh, enough with these two..." she says, and— for the last time—brain-pokers their thoughts into the air...

“对，”昆特说。“等一下。 我还有最后一件事要做。” 走到加隆的店里，昆特不知道自己要说什么。 他都不知道自己想说什么。 “你好!”当昆特走近时，加拉梅隆惊呼道。 “你看起来像是需要上魔法课的人！”我只是一个魔法大师，在你的旅途中指引你！”昆特皱眉。 “老兄，是我。”加隆把目光移开。 “我知道，”他轻声说。在那之后，他们似乎都不知道该说什么。 他们盯着自己的脚看了很长时间。 如果不是因为吉米，他们可能也会一直盯着自己的脚。 “啊，这两个够了……” 她说，最后一次把他们的想法抛到空中……
