9 Griffith's Plan

CHAPTER 9 GRIFFITH'S PLAN Bo closed his eyes, listening to his dragon. "What is Shu saying?" Rori whispered. "That there is a dark cloud over the emperor," Bo said, opening his eyes. "A darkness that is not his own."

第九章格里菲思的计划博闭上眼睛，听着他的龙说话。 “舒在说什么？”Rori低声说。 “皇帝的头上有一片乌云，”薄熙来睁开眼睛说。 “不属于他自己的黑暗”

"Could it be Maldred?" Drake asked, thinking of the dark wizard. Griffith nodded. "The dust the guard used looks like Maldred's dark magic. Maldred may be using the emperor to get to the dragons." "Can Shu help?" Ana asked. "She says that she can," Bo replied, "but that she needs to see the emperor in person." He looked at Griffith. "May I bring her to him?" "I do not know all the secrets a Water Dragon holds," Griffith said. "If Shu says she can help, then I trust her."

“会是玛德丽德吗？”德雷克问道，想起了那个黑巫师。 格里菲思点点头。“守卫用的灰尘看起来像是玛德雷德的黑魔法。 玛德雷德可能是在利用皇帝去找龙。” “淑能帮忙吗？”安娜问。 “她说她可以，”波回答说，“但是她必须亲自去见皇帝。” 他望着格里菲思。“我可以带她去见他吗？”“我不知道水龙的所有秘密，”格里菲斯说。 “如果舒说她能帮上忙，那我就相信她。”

"We should go to your kingdom right now, Bo!" Drake said. "I'll get Worm." "Let us think this through, Drake," Griffith said. "I trust you and Bo to go on your own. I must stay here to protect the Dragon Stone. Ana and Rori can assist me. But we will need the help of my friend, Diego, too." Griffith snapped his fingers. POOF! Drake jumped. A cloud of smoke filled the room. When it cleared, a short, fat wizard was standing there.

“我们现在就应该去你的王国，菠！”德雷克说。 “我去找虫子。”“让我们好好想想，德雷克，”格里菲斯说。 “我相信你和波会自己去的。 我必须留在这里保护龙石。 安娜和罗里可以协助我。 但我们也需要我的朋友迭戈的帮助。” 格里菲斯打了个响指。 噗!德雷克吓了一跳。一团烟雾充满了房间。 当它消失时，一个矮胖的巫师站在那里。

"Griffith! What's wrong?" Diego asked. "Maldred is trying to steal the Dragon Stone," Griffith explained. "You and I must strengthen the charms that protect it." Diego nodded. "I will do whatever you need, my friend." Griffith turned to Bo and Drake. "Be careful. Let Shu try to remove the dark cloud from Emperor Song. Make sure Bo's family is safe. Then come right back." "We will do our best," Bo said. Drake had a scary thought. I know Bo feels bad about trying to steal the Dragon Stone. But what if the emperor tells Bo to do something else? Like turn over our dragons? Would he do it to save his family?

“格里菲斯!怎么了?”迭戈问道。 “玛德雷德想偷龙石。”格里菲斯解释道。 “你和我必须加强保护它的咒语。” 迭戈点点头。“我愿意为你做任何事，我的朋友。” 格里菲斯转向波和德雷克。 “小心些而已。让蜀国设法消除宋帝心中的阴云。 确保波的家人安全。 然后马上回来。”“我们会尽力的，”薄熙来说。 德雷克有一个可怕的想法。 我知道菠想偷龙石的事让他很内疚。 但是如果皇帝让薄熙来做别的事情呢？ 比如把我们的龙翻过来？ 他会为了拯救家人而这么做吗？

Drake wasn't sure what to think. But right now, he had to trust his friend. "There is no time to waste!" said Griffith. "Drake, put a saddle on Worm." "I'll be fast!" Drake promised, and he ran to Worm's cave.

德雷克不知道该怎么想。 但现在，他必须相信他的朋友。 “不能浪费时间了！”格里菲思说。 “德雷克，给虫子套上马鞍。” “我会很快的！”德雷克答应了，他跑到虫子的洞穴。
