3 King Roland's Threat

CHAPTER 3 KING ROLAND'S THREAT Drake looked over at his friend Bo. He could tell Bo was thinking the same thing he was: How did the king know one of the dragons was sick? "I have spies hidden in the Valley of Clouds," the king said, as if he had read their minds. "You almost let these dragons escape once, Griffith. I want to make sure they are ready when I need them."

第三章罗兰国王的威胁德雷克看着他的朋友波。 他看得出波的想法和他一样：国王怎么知道其中一条龙生病了？ “我有密探藏在云谷里，”国王说，好像他看透了他们的心思。 “格里菲思，你有一次差点儿让这些龙逃走了。 我想确保他们在我需要的时候准备好了。”

"I understand," Griffith said. Drake remembered that when the tunnel had caved in, Griffith hadn't told the king that the Dragon Masters had taken the dragons out. Instead, he said the dragons had tried to escape. Griffith had lied to protect the Dragon Masters. Griffith had only wanted to protect us when he told that lie, Drake thought. But now the king is mad at him instead of us! "So I will ask you again, Griffith," said the king. "Is one of the dragons sick?"

“我明白，”格里菲斯说。 德雷克记得隧道塌方时，格里菲斯并没有告诉国王龙主已经把龙带走了。 相反，他说龙试图逃跑。 格里菲斯撒谎是为了保护龙主。 格里菲思说谎只是为了保护我们，德雷克想。 可现在国王不是生我们的气，而是生他的气！“那我再问你一遍，格里菲思。”国王说。 “有一条龙病了吗？”

"Yes, Your Majesty," said Griffith. "There seems to be something wrong with Kepri." All eyes turned to Kepri. Her eyes were cloudy. And her long, graceful neck was drooping.

“是的，陛下。”格里菲思说。 “Kepri似乎出了问题。” 所有的目光都转向了Kepri。她的眼睛模糊不清。 她那优美的长脖子耷拉着。

"First the dragons tried to escape, and now one is sick," said King Roland. "This makes me very unhappy, wizard. You are supposed to know all about dragons. Heal her!" "I will look for a cure right away," Griffith promised. "You had better find one soon," King Roland said, his eyes fixed on the wizard. "If not, I will find another wizard." King Roland turned and stormed out of the caves. His guards followed. Drake's stomach did a flip. Another wizard? What would we do without Griffith? "What do we do now?" Ana asked Griffith, stroking Kepri's head. "I have many books about dragons," the wizard replied. "We will start there."

“首先，龙试图逃跑，现在有一条生病了，”罗兰国王说。 “这让我很不高兴，巫师。 你应该对龙了如指掌。 治疗她的!”格里菲斯保证说：“我会马上寻找治疗方法。” “你最好快点找到一个。”罗兰国王说，他的眼睛盯着巫师。 “如果不行，我就去找别的巫师。” 罗兰国王转身冲出洞穴。 他的卫兵跟在后面。德雷克的胃猛地一跳。 另一个向导?没有格里菲斯我们该怎么办？ “我们现在怎么办？”安娜抚摸着凯普里的头问格里菲斯。 “我有很多关于龙的书。”巫师回答。 “我们将从那里开始。”

"We? You mean we can help?" Drake asked. "Of course!" Griffith said. "Please take your dragons into their caves. Then meet me in the Training Room. We must act quickly to save Kepri!"

“我们?你是说我们能帮忙？”德雷克问道。 “当然!”格里菲斯说。 “请把你的龙带回它们的洞穴。 那就在训练室见我。 我们必须迅速采取行动，拯救Kepri!”
