2. THE GREAT LIBRARY

CHAPTER 2 THE GREAT LIBRARY Chaya is one of the most powerful beings in the world right now," Griffith explained. "We must stop this dragon before he uses his new strength to do more harm!" Drake gently patted his Earth Dragon, Worm. "We haven't slept in a while. Is it okay if we go on our next mission now?" The green Dragon Stone around Drake's neck glowed as he heard Worm's voice in his head.

“查亚现在是世界上最强大的生物之一，”格里菲斯解释说。 “我们必须在这条龙用它的新力量制造更多的伤害之前阻止它！”德雷克轻轻地拍了拍他的土龙，蚯蚓。 “我们有段时间没睡觉了。 我们现在可以开始下一个任务了吗？”当德雷克听到蛔虫的声音时，他脖子上的绿色龙石闪闪发光。

Yes, Drake. We must find strength. We are running out of time to stop Chaya. Drake touched Worm's neck. "Then transport us to the library in Helas!" Drake's friends waved as Drake and Worm transported in a flash of green light. Drake blinked. Here, as in Bracken, the dark gray sky-shadow blocked the morning sun. But a huge, ancient building made of white marble cut through the gloom. Tall columns supported the library's two stories. Wide steps led to the great library of Helas.

是的,德雷克。我们必须找到力量。 我们快没时间阻止查雅了。 德雷克摸了摸虫子的脖子。 “那就把我们送到海拉斯的图书馆去！”德雷克和虫子在一道绿光中被传送，德雷克的朋友们挥手示意。 德雷克眨了眨眼睛。这里和布雷肯一样，深灰色的天空阴影挡住了早晨的阳光。 但一座巨大的、古老的白色大理石建筑穿过了黑暗。 高高的柱子支撑着图书馆的两层楼。 宽阔的台阶通向海拉斯的大图书馆。

A girl with curly blond hair ran to greet them. "Drake! Worm!" she cried. A green four- headed dragon followed her out. "Petra!" Drake gave her a hug. Worm approached Zera, the Poison Dragon, and lowered his head in greeting. Zera smiled at him with all four of her heads. "Thanks for meeting us here, Petra," Drake said. "Bo and Jean told me that there is a way to stop this terrible shadow," Petra said. "I'm happy to help. Come on in! My parents and I have found something."

一个金发卷发的女孩跑过来迎接他们。 “德雷克!虫子！”她叫道。一条绿色的四头龙跟着她出来了。 “佩特拉!”德雷克给了她一个拥抱。 蠕虫走近毒龙泽拉，低下头打招呼。 泽拉用她的四个头对他微笑。 “谢谢你来这里见我们，佩特拉，”德雷克说。 “波和珍告诉我，有一种方法可以阻止这个可怕的阴影，”佩特拉说。 “我很乐意帮忙。请进！我父母和我发现了一些东西。”

Drake followed Petra into the library. He gasped. The building was massive! Bookshelves as tall as trees filled the space, every inch holding a book or scroll. Drake spotted a gray kitten playing with a ball of yarn under one of the shelves. "Is that your cat, the one you named Zera after?" he asked.

德雷克跟着佩特拉进了图书馆。 他气喘吁吁地说。这座建筑非常巨大！像树一样高的书架填满了这个空间，每一英寸都放着一本书或卷轴。 德雷克发现一只灰色的小猫在一个架子下面玩一个纱线球。 “那是你的猫吗，就是你给Zera取名的那只？”他问。

Petra grinned. "Yes. Luckily, both Zeras became good friends." A woman with hair like Petra's and a tall, thin man approached them. "Mom and Dad, this is Drake," Petra said. "It is nice to meet you, Drake," said the man. "I am Zale" "And I am Daria," said Petra's mom. "I wish we could give you a tour of the library, but Bo and Jean wrote us about your mission of great importance. You seek information about Star Dragons." "Yes," Drake said. Daria nodded. "We have just the book. Enzo is fetching it now." She pointed up to the top of a nearby shelf. A boy, not much younger than Drake and Petra, stood at the top of a ladder.

佩特拉咧嘴一笑。“是的。幸运的是，两个泽拉都成了好朋友。” 一个头发和佩特拉一样的女人和一个又高又瘦的男人走近他们。 “爸爸妈妈，这是德雷克，”佩特拉说。 “很高兴见到你，德雷克，”那人说。 “我是扎莱”“我是达莉亚，”佩特拉的妈妈说。 “我希望我们能带你参观图书馆，但是波和珍写信告诉我们你有一项非常重要的任务。 你在寻找关于星际龙的信息。” “是的，”德雷克说。Daria点点头。 “我们正好有那本书。恩佐正在取呢。” 她指着附近一个架子的顶部。 一个男孩，不比德雷克和佩特拉小多少，站在梯子的顶端。

Enzo grabbed a book and then scrambled down. "Here you go," the boy said, handing the book to Drake. He had dark blond hair and hazel eyes. "Thank you," Drake said. "I think I would be nervous to climb all the way up that ladder." "Enzo is an expert climber, and a great reader, too," Petra said. "He is a big help here at the library." Enzo grinned. "Thanks, Petra! I really love being around all of the books." Petra took Drake's hand. "Let's see what we can find out!"

恩佐抓起一本书，爬了下来。 “给你，”男孩说着，把书递给德雷克。 他有一头深金色的头发和一双淡褐色的眼睛。 “谢谢你，”德雷克说。“我想我爬上梯子会很紧张。” 佩特拉说：“恩佐是一位登山专家，也是一位伟大的读者。” “他在图书馆帮了大忙。” 恩佐咧嘴一笑。“谢谢你,佩特拉!我真的很喜欢和这些书在一起。” 佩特拉握住德雷克的手。“让我们看看能发现什么吧！”
