KING ROLAND'S QUEST FOR DRAGONS When King Roland was fourteen years old, Bracken was attacked by the Kingdom of Dunkelberg. He bravely joined the battle, fighting alongside his father to protect Bracken. His grandfather died during that battle, but Roland fought on and Bracken won. That is how he earned the name Roland the Bold. Eight years later, Roland's father died peacefully, and Roland became king. From that day on, Roland decided to make Bracken the most protected place on Earth. He believed that one thing could protect his kingdom: dragons. So he asked Griffith to help him learn about dragons around the world.

罗兰国王寻龙之旅罗兰国王十四岁的时候，布莱肯遭到了敦克尔堡王国的袭击。 他勇敢地加入战斗，与父亲并肩作战，保护布莱肯。 他的祖父在那场战斗中牺牲了，但罗兰继续战斗，布莱肯赢了。 这就是为什么他被称为大胆的罗兰。 八年后，罗兰的父亲平静地去世了，罗兰成为了国王。 从那天起，罗兰决定让布拉肯成为地球上最受保护的地方。 他相信有一样东西可以保护他的王国：龙。 所以他请格里菲斯帮助他了解世界各地的龙。

The king sent his soldiers out to capture all kinds of dragons. Griffith did not agree with the king's actions. Taking the dragons from their homes seemed cruel. And when the dragons first came to the castle, they were wild and upset. King Roland ordered them to be locked in their caves. Thanks to the books Griffith had read, he knew that he needed to find Dragon Masters for the dragons right away. But first, he had to find a Dragon Stone!

国王派他的士兵去捕捉各种各样的龙。 格里菲斯不同意国王的做法。 把龙从它们的家园带走似乎很残忍。 当龙第一次来到城堡时，它们狂暴而不安。 罗兰国王下令把他们锁在山洞里。 多亏了格里菲斯读过的书，他知道他需要马上为巨龙找到龙主。 但首先，他必须找到一块龙石！

DRAGON STONES Dragon Masters and wizards both use Dragon Stones, but in different ways. Dragon Masters Every Dragon Master wears a small piece of the Dragon Stone. At first, the Dragon Master can give the dragon simple commands. When their bond grows strong, and they can reach each other's minds, the stone will glow green. This connection becomes even stronger as the Dragon Master and dragon work together. Wizards If a wizard wants to train a Dragon Master, he or she must first find a Dragon Stone. Wizards cannot communicate with dragons. But they can ask their Dragon Stone to choose a Dragon Master to match with a dragon. An image of the Dragon Master will appear inside a green beam of light given off by the stone.

龙之石龙大师和巫师都使用龙之石，但使用方式不同。 每个龙师都会佩戴一小块龙石。 起初，龙大师可以给龙简单的命令。 当他们的联系变得更紧密时，他们可以接触到对方的思想，石头就会发出绿光。 当龙大师和龙一起工作时，这种联系变得更加强大。 如果一个巫师想要训练一个龙大师，他或她必须首先找到一块龙石。 巫师不能和龙交流。 但他们可以让他们的龙石选择一个龙大师来匹配一条龙。 龙大师的形象会出现在石头发出的绿光中。

The Secret of Green Lake Getting my Dragon Stone was not easy. I knew that wizards in the far North Lands had been using these stones for many years. So I asked my wizard friend Hulda where to find one. She told me that a piece of the prime stone might be found in the bottom of a magical body of water known as Green Lake. I traveled far to reach the lake. Once I got there, I dove to the very bottom. I found my Dragon Stone and brought it back to Bracken. Then I used it to find Dragon Masters for King Roland's dragons. —Griffith

绿湖的秘密得到我的龙石并不容易。 我知道在遥远的北国，巫师们多年来一直在使用这些石头。 所以我问我的巫师朋友胡尔达去哪里找。 她告诉我，一块原石可能会在一个叫做绿湖的神奇水体的底部找到。 我长途跋涉来到湖边。 一到那里，我就潜入了最底部。 我找到了我的龙石，并把它带回了布莱肯。 然后我用它为罗兰国王的龙找到了龙师。 格里菲思

THE PRIME STONE Every Dragon Stone in the world comes from one very big, very old stone: the prime stone. It is hidden inside the Pyramid of the Seven Dragons, in the Land of Pyramids.

世界上的每一块龙石都来自一块非常大、非常古老的石头：始祖石。 它被藏在金字塔之国的七龙金字塔里。

Every ten thousand years, energy from the prime stone creates a Lightning Dragon egg. The stone feeds energy to the egg, so its powers are weakened until the egg hatches. Nobody is sure how old the prime stone is, or where it came from. Is it a wonder of nature? Was it created by powerful wizards, or some other kind of magic? There may be more secrets to be discovered inside that pyramid.

每隔一万年，原石的能量就会产生一个闪电龙蛋。 石头为蛋提供能量，所以它的力量会被削弱，直到蛋孵化出来。 没人知道这块石头有多老，从哪里来的。 这是大自然的奇迹吗？它是由强大的巫师创造的，还是其他魔法？ 在金字塔里可能有更多的秘密有待发现。
