68 Colour

Chapter 68 Colour Of course!" shouted Dad, as he stood proudly watching his son conduct the orchestra of colour playing its symphony over Chroma. "The moment Leo turned eighteen, he automatically became Conté's heir!" The citizens on the ground, who'd been trapped in the Rainbow Lake, looked up in wonder as the huge technicolour curtain drifted down towards them. As it passed over the Spire, jets of ink, paint and dye whizzed around it, dancing and exploding, scattering their beauty and decorating its facade. "This is WONDERFUL!" shouted Mum, as she hugged Little-Bit and Rockwell while the colours passed over them. Woodhouse had scurried back down the ladder as quickly

第68章 颜色 “当然了！”爸爸喊道，他骄傲地站着，注视着儿子指挥色彩乐团，在克罗玛上空奏响交响乐章。 “利奥刚满十八岁，自然而然就成了孔戴的继承人！” 被困在彩虹湖的地面居民们惊叹地抬头，看着巨大的五彩幕布朝着他们缓缓飘落。 当幕布飘过尖塔时，墨水、颜料和染料喷涌而出，在它四周飞旋，跳跃着炸开，四处播撒美丽，装点了尖塔的外墙。 “这简直太棒了！” 妈妈大喊着，抱紧了小波和罗克韦尔，此时色彩正从他们身旁流过。 伍豪斯已经飞快地顺着梯子爬了下来

as he had scurried up it and had now resumed his position on Doodle's back. Both illustrated animals wagged their tails wildly. Doodle! Woodhouse!" shouted Peanut from her position near the top of the ladder. "You made this happen! You saved us all!" "Totally!" agreed Little-Bit. "Woodhouse, I don't know how you escaped from that horrid snake, but I'm so glad you did!" "Me too!" said a gleeful Rockwell. "After today, I will never look at rodents in the same way. Three cheers for Woodhouse and Doodle! Hip, hip..." "HOORAY!" chorused everyone. "Hip, hip..." "HOORAY!" "Hip, hip "HOORAY." Doodle yipped with delight. Woodhouse would have blushed if rats could, indeed, blush. Instead, he stood up straight and waved his long tail elegantly behind him. He had saved the day. He, a small creature who most people thought of as lowly and dirty, had saved Chroma and—what's more the entire world's creativity! His tail curled into the shape of an open palm and he accepted enthusiastic high-fives from everyone there.

爬上来的时候有多急，下去就有多快，之后他重新回到了嘟嘟背上的位置。 这两只画出来的小动物都拼命地摇着尾巴。 “嘟嘟！伍豪斯！”花生站在梯子靠近顶端的位置喊道。 “这一切都是你们做到的！ 你们救了我们所有人！” “完全没错！”小波附和道。 “伍豪斯，我不知道你是怎么从那条坏蛇手里逃出来的，但我真太高兴你逃出来了！” “我也很高兴！”兴高采烈的罗克韦尔说道。 “过了今天，我再也不会用老眼光看待啮齿类小动物了。 为伍豪斯和嘟嘟欢呼三声！嘿，嘿……” “万岁！”所有人齐声喊道。 “嘿，嘿……” “万岁！” “嘿，嘿——” “万岁！” 嘟嘟开心地叫了起来。 说真的，如果老鼠真的会脸红的话，伍豪斯肯定早就脸红了。 但他只是挺直身子，身后的长尾巴优雅地摆动着。 是他扭转了危局。 他，这么一个不被大家看重、又小又不起眼的生灵，却拯救了克罗玛，更重要的是，他拯救了全世界的创造力！ 他的尾巴弯成张开的手掌的形状，接受了在场所有人热情的击掌祝贺。

Meanwhile, the technicolour display continued to dazzle in the sky. Then, the most remarkable thing happened. When the curtain of colour reached the ground, the lake, totally empty of citizens by now, began to refill with rainbow-colored water. The liquid tumbled and splashed as it magically poured into the lake, its surface gradually rising until it lapped playfully at the brim. Once there, the water settled into its familiar striped pattern that the children had seen on their first visit to the city. "Perfect," whispered Rockwell, looking down on the newly restored rings of colour. "Everything is back to how it should be." And with that, the entire city, revelling in this wonderful eruption of colour and creation, of light and life, of chaos and magic, breathed a huge sigh of relief.

与此同时，这场五彩奇观还在天空中继续闪耀，让人目不暇接。 接着，最不可思议的事情发生了。 当彩色幕布落到地面，早已空无一人的湖泊，开始重新注满彩虹色的湖水。 水流翻涌飞溅，神奇地涌入湖中，湖面渐渐升高，最后轻快地拍打着湖岸边缘。 湖水就位后，恢复了大家熟悉的条纹纹路，正是孩子们第一次来到这座城市时见到的模样。 “完美。”罗克韦尔轻声说道，低头看着重新修复的彩色色环。 “一切都回到了本该有的样子。” 说完，整座城市都沉浸在这场色彩与创意迸发的喜悦里，这里满是光明与生机，藏着混乱与魔力，所有人都长长地舒了一口安心的气。
