3. THE SHADOW DRAGON

CHAPTER 3 THE SHADOW DRAGON The wizard frowned. "I'm not sure what is happening. Let us go to my workshop, where I can look for answers," Griffith said. A royal guard galloped into the valley. "Sire, angry villagers are surrounding the castle!" he announced. "Humph!" King Roland huffed. "Any time something out of the ordinary happens, the villagers storm the castle. I'll deal with them."

第三章影子龙巫师皱起了眉头。 “我不确定发生了什么。 让我们去我的工作室，在那里我可以寻找答案，”格里菲斯说。 皇家卫队策马进入山谷。 “陛下，愤怒的村民包围了城堡！”他宣布。 “哼!”罗兰国王生气了。 “只要有不寻常的事情发生，村民们就会冲进城堡。 我来对付他们。”

He glared at Griffith. "And you, wizard, will solve this problem before things get out of hand." Griffith bowed. "Yes, Your Majesty." King Roland and the guard rode off. Drake and the others walked toward the castle. "It's nice to finally meet you," Ana told Jean. "I'm Ana." "Nice to meet you, too," Jean replied. She turned to Drake. "Where is the silver sword I gave you?" "Um, I don't usually carry it with me," Drake admitted. "I need that sword-fighting lesson you promised me." They all traveled through the long tunnel that led to the Dragon Masters' Training Room.

他怒视着格里菲思。“而你，巫师，必须在事态失控之前解决这个问题。” 格里菲斯鞠躬。“是的，陛下。” 罗兰国王和卫兵骑马走了。 德雷克和其他人朝城堡走去。 “很高兴终于见到你了，”安娜对珍说。 “我是安娜。”“我也很高兴见到你，”琼回答。 她转向德雷克。“我给你的银剑在哪里？”“嗯，我通常不带着它，”德雷克承认。 “我需要你答应我的那堂剑术课。” 他们一起穿过通往龙师训练室的长长的隧道。

"Wait here while we go into Griffith's Workshop," Drake told Worm, and Jean told Argent the same. Inside the wizard's workshop, the shelves were filled with jars of liquids, herbs, and other spell ingredients. Griffith walked to a large, clear glass ball and waved a hand over it. Magical light sparkled inside the ball, and a scene appeared.

“在这儿等着，我们去格里菲思的工作室。”德雷克对沃姆说，琼也对阿金特说了同样的话。 在巫师的工作室里，架子上摆满了瓶子，里面装着液体、草药和其他咒语配料。 格里菲思走到一个又大又透明的玻璃球前，向它挥了挥手。 球里闪烁着神奇的光芒，一个场景出现了。

A gray dragon stood on top of a temple with many towers. The dragon had two curved tusks and a long nose. That dragon reminds me of an elephant I saw once, Drake thought. The dragon's trunk-like nose pointed up, and a dark shadow streamed out of it and into the sky. Next to the dragon stood a girl wearing a green, glowing Dragon Stone. She looked to be eight years old, but her long, braided hair was gray. Her eyes, as well as the dragon's eyes, shone with red light.

一条灰色的龙站在一座有许多塔楼的寺庙顶上。 龙有两个弯曲的长牙和一个长长的鼻子。 那条龙让我想起了我曾经见过的一头大象，德雷克想。 龙的鼻子尖了起来，一个黑影从鼻子里窜出来，直插天空。 在龙的旁边站着一个戴着一块绿色发光的龙石的女孩。 她看上去只有八岁，但她那长长的、编成辫子的头发已经灰白了。 她的眼睛和龙的眼睛一样，闪烁着红光。

"A Shadow Dragon?!" Griffith cried. "But a Shadow Dragon shouldn't be able to create such a massive sky-shadow. This dragon's powers must be supercharged somehow." "Look! The eyes of that dragon and Dragon Master are glowing red," Rori pointed out. "Red is the color of evil magic!" Drake added. "Griffith, where is this Shadow Dragon? Do you recognize that temple?" Before Griffith could answer, the light inside the gazing ball fizzled and popped. Then it went dark. "It is what I feared," Griffith said. "My magic is not working, and this Shadow Dragon has something to do with it!"

“暗影龙？！”格里菲思哭了。 “但是一条影龙不应该能够制造出如此巨大的天影。 这条龙的力量一定是超强的。” “看!那条龙和龙主人的眼睛是闪闪发光的。”罗里指出。 “红色是邪恶魔法的颜色！”德雷克补充道。 “格里菲思，这条影龙在哪儿？” 你认得那座庙吗？”格里菲斯还没来得及回答，凝视球里的光就熄灭了。 然后天就黑了。“这正是我所担心的，”格里菲斯说。 “我的魔法不起作用了，这条影龙一定是罪魁祸首！”
