10 ZOLTAN'S PLAN

CHAPTER 10 ZOLTAN'S PLAN Zoltan the wizard was buried up to his neck in the muck. His mustache drooped, and his blue eyes blazed with anger. "I demand you get me out of this mud right now!" he barked. Mamu and Worm landed on the sandy edge of the swamp. Kishar and Drake climbed off their dragons.

第十章佐尔坦的计划巫师佐尔坦被埋在淤泥里，深及脖子。 他的胡子耷拉着，蓝眼睛里闪烁着愤怒的光芒。 “我要求你马上把我从这泥地里救出来！” 妈妈和虫子降落在沼泽的沙边。 基沙尔和德雷克从他们的龙上爬下来。

"You have broken the rules of the Dream World, Zoltan," Kishar said calmly. "You must be banished." "Can you banish him from here in the swamp?" Drake asked. "No. We will need to bring him to the Dream Gate, with your help," Kishar said. "Worm can freeze him and put him in a bubble, and we can fly straight back," Drake suggested. "Excuse me!" Zoltan interrupted in a whiny voice. "I'm right here, you know. It's rude to talk about other people when they're in front of you."

“你违反了梦幻世界的规则，佐尔坦，”基沙尔平静地说。 “你必须被驱逐。”“你能把他从沼泽里赶走吗？”德雷克问道。 “没有。在你们的帮助下，我们需要把他带到梦之门。” “虫子可以把他冻住，放进一个泡泡里，然后我们就可以直接飞回去了。”德雷克建议道。 “对不起!”佐尔坦用哀怨的声音打断了他。 “你知道，我就在这儿。 当着别人的面谈论别人是不礼貌的。”

Drake and Kishar looked at each other and rolled their eyes. "It was also rude of you to steal the Dream Orb, and break through the Dream Gate," Drake pointed out. Zoltan scowled. "You know what's really rude? The Dream Dragon keeping the Dream Fountain to herself. All I want is one little sip." The wizard looked Drake in the eyes. "Free me, Drake, and you can drink from the Dream Fountain, too. Imagine! You can make any of your wildest dreams come true."

德雷克和基沙尔面面相觑，翻了个白眼。 “你偷了梦之球，闯进了梦之门，这也很无礼。”德雷克指出。 Zoltan皱起了眉头。“你知道什么才是真正粗鲁的吗？” 梦龙独享梦泉。 我只想喝一小口。” 巫师直视着德雷克的眼睛。 “放了我，德雷克，你也可以喝梦之泉的水。 想象一下!你可以让任何你最疯狂的梦想成真。”

An image popped into Drake's mind, of a big, comfy house for his mom and his brothers. And a stew pot over the fire that never went empty. He quickly pushed the vision away. Zoltan is trying to trick me, Drake thought. And even if he isn't, nothing is worth letting that evil wizard make his own dangerous dreams come true.

一幅画面突然出现在德雷克的脑海里，为他的妈妈和兄弟们准备了一所又大又舒适的房子。 火上的炖锅永远不会空。 他很快打消了这个念头。 佐尔坦想骗我，德雷克想。 即使他不是，也不值得让那个邪恶的巫师实现他危险的梦想。

Drake turned to Kishar. "Let's get this wizard to the gate." "Wait!" said Zoltan. "Don't you want to know why I want to drink from the fountain?" "Fine. Why do you want to drink from it?" Drake asked. "My plan involves Maldred, the greatest wizard who has ever lived!" Zoltan cried. "My wizard, Griffith, turned him into a swarm of flies and we trapped him in a bottle. Now he lies deep inside the earth with the Naga—the Earthquake Dragon," Drake said.

德雷克转向基沙尔。“我们把这个巫师带到门口去吧。” “等等！”佐尔坦说。“你不想知道我为什么想喝喷泉里的水吗？”“很好。 你为什么要喝水呢？”德雷克问道。 “我的计划涉及到玛德雷德，她是有史以来最伟大的巫师！”Zoltan哭了。 “我的巫师格里菲思把他变成了一群苍蝇，我们把他困在一个瓶子里。 现在他和地震龙那加一起躺在地下深处。”德雷克说。

"I know," Zoltan snapped. "Before you stole my spell book, I planned to use it to bring him here, to the Dream World with me. But I have a new plan. In my dreams, I become Maldred. So I will use the Dream Fountain to transform into him! I will look like Maldred and have all of his strength and power! No spell could have done that!" "That's exactly why we won't let you drink from it!" Drake responded. "Maldred almost destroyed the world once." Zoltan laughed. "This time, Maldred won't fail. Because Maldred will be ME! Ha ha ha. Ha ha HA!" Kishar frowned. "What is so funny?"

“我知道。”佐尔坦厉声说。“在你偷走我的咒语书之前，我打算用它把他带到这里，和我一起到梦幻世界来。 但我有个新计划。在梦里，我变成了玛德雷德。 所以我要用梦之泉变成他！我会像玛德雷德一样拥有他所有的力量和力量！没有咒语能做到这一点！”“这就是为什么我们不让你喝它！”德雷克回应道。 “有一次，玛德丽德几乎毁灭了世界。” Zoltan笑了。“这一次，玛德丽德不会失败。 因为玛德雷德就是我！哈哈哈。 哈哈哈！”Kishar皱起了眉头。 “什么事这么好笑？”
