9 The Wrong Dragon Master

CHAPTER 9 THE WRONG DRAGON MASTER The next morning, Petra knocked on Drake and Bo's door before breakfast. "Come in," said Drake with a yawn. "Could you take me to see the hydra?" Petra asked. Her green eyes shone eagerly. "I want to start connecting with my dragon right away!"

第九章错的龙主人第二天早上，佩特拉在早饭前敲了德雷克和波的门。 “进来吧。”德雷克打了个哈欠说。 “你能带我去看九头蛇吗？”佩特拉问道。 她那双绿色的眼睛热切地闪烁着光芒。 “我想马上开始和我的龙联系！”

Drake's stomach grumbled. "Before we eat breakfast?" "I grabbed these from the kitchen." Petra held up some bread and cheese. "Let's go!" Bo opened his eyes long enough to see Drake go off with Petra. The two hurried down the stairs to the Training Room. As they got near Griffith's Workshop, they heard voices. Drake and Petra stopped to listen. "Please, Griffith, there must be some way to help him," a woman's voice said.

德雷克的肚子咕咕叫着。“在我们吃早饭之前？”“我从厨房里拿的。” 佩特拉拿出一些面包和奶酪。 “我们走吧!”波睁开眼睛，看到德雷克带着佩特拉走了。 两人匆匆走下楼梯，来到训练室。 他们走近格里菲思的工作室时，听到了说话声。 德雷克和佩特拉停下来听。 “求求你，格里菲思，一定有什么办法能帮到他。”一个女人的声音说。

"That sounds like Queen Rose," Drake whispered to Petra. "The hydra is the key to healing the king," said Griffith. "But we won't know how until her Dragon Master connects with her. Petra simply is not ready." "But she must be ready!" said Queen Rose. "Can't another Dragon Master make the connection?" "It doesn't work that way," Griffith explained. "The Dragon Stone has chosen Petra."

“听起来像玫瑰女王，”德雷克低声对佩特拉说。 “九头蛇是治愈国王的关键，”格里菲斯说。 “但在她的龙主与她联系之前，我们无法知道。 佩特拉还没准备好。” “但她必须做好准备！”罗斯王后说。 “就不能让另一个龙主来联系吗？”“事实并非如此，”格里菲斯解释道。 “龙之石选择了佩特拉。”

"Then the Dragon Stone should choose someone else!" the queen said. "The king's life is at stake." They heard Griffith sigh. "Let me check the Dragon Stone again," he said. Drake peeked into the workshop. Griffith was leaning over the Dragon Stone. The stone sat in a wooden box carved with pictures of dragons. The Dragon Masters' stones had come from this Dragon Stone.

“那么龙石应该选择别人！”王后说。 “国王的生命危在旦夕。” 他们听见格里菲斯叹了口气。“让我再看看龙石。”他说。 德雷克偷看了一下车间。 格里菲思俯身向着龙石。 这块石头放在一个雕刻着龙的木盒里。 龙主的宝石就是来自这块龙石。

Griffith gazed into the shining green gem. He frowned. "I am sorry, Your Majesty," he said. "The Dragon Stone is cloudy. It has been acting strangely lately. Sometimes clouds appear. Other times it glows brightly and fades." Drake heard a rumbling sound outside the castle. "This Dragon Stone must not be working as it should," said Queen Rose. "It must have chosen the wrong Dragon Master!" Drake looked at Petra. She was biting her lower lip.

格里菲斯凝视着那颗闪亮的绿色宝石。 他皱起了眉头。“对不起，陛下。”他说。 “龙石是阴的。 它最近表现得很奇怪。 有时会出现云。有时它会发出明亮的光芒，然后消失。” 德雷克听到城堡外的隆隆声。 “这龙石一定没有发挥应有的作用。”罗斯王后说。 “它一定选错了龙主！”德雷克看着佩特拉。 她咬着下唇。

"Petra, I'm sure that—" Drake began, but he stopped. The rumbling sound was clearer. It was the villagers, chanting. "Send the dragons away!" they yelled.

“佩特拉，我敢肯定——”德雷克刚要开口，但又停住了。 隆隆声更清晰了。 是村民们在呼喊。 “把龙赶走！”他们喊道。
