rake shaded his eyes from the sun.He was standingin the Valley ofClouds behind King Roland's castle.Not long ago,Drake had never even been to the castle.But now he lived here,and he had an important job. He was a Dragon Master-someone who had been chosen by the Dragon Stone to work with dragons.
耙子遮住了他的眼睛，不让阳光照射。他站在罗兰国王城堡后面的云之谷。不久前，德雷克甚至从未去过城堡。但现在他住在这里，他有一份重要的工作。他是一名龙师——被龙石选中与龙一起工作的人。

Above him,three dragons flew in the bright blue sky.Griffith,the wizard who taught the young Dragon Masters,watched as the dragons practiced flying.
在他头顶，三条龙在湛蓝的天空中飞翔。格里菲斯，教年轻驯龙师的巫师，看着龙练习飞行。

Vulcan,a big,red Fire Dragon,flew across
火神，一条巨大的红色火龙，飞了过来

the valley.He shot a burst of fire into the air.
山谷。他向空中射出一阵火。

“Nice one!”yelled his Dragon Master,Rori. She had hair as red as Vulcan's flames.
“不错！”他的龙师罗里喊道。她的头发像火神的火焰一样红。

Shu,a beautiful blue Water Dragon,didn't have wings.She glided through the air,riding the wind.Bo,her Dragon Master,watched her with a peaceful smile on his face.
Shu，一条美丽的蓝色水龙，没有翅膀。她在空中滑翔，乘风而行。她的龙师博看着她，脸上带着平静的笑容。

The best flier was the yellow-and-white Sun Dragon,Kepri.She looped and swirled in the air.Then a rainbow streamed from her mouth.It arced across the sky.Kepri's Dragon Master,Ana,danced on the grass below her dragon.Her long,black hair swayed behind her.
最好的飞行者是黄白相间的太阳龙，Kepri.She在空中盘旋和旋转。然后一道彩虹从她的嘴里流了出来。它在天空中划过弧线。凯普里的龙师安娜在她的龙下面的草地上跳舞。她黑色的长发在身后摇曳。

Drake's dragon,Worm,was not like the other dragons.He was an Earth Dragon witha long,brown body.He couldn't fly.But Drake had just learned Worm could move things with the power of his mind.What other amazing things can Worm do?Drake wondered.He knew he had even more to learn about his dragon.
德雷克的龙，蠕虫，不像其他龙。他是一条长着棕色身体的大地龙。他不会飞。但德雷克刚刚学会了蠕虫可以用他的意志力移动东西。蠕虫还能做哪些令人惊奇的事情？德雷克疑惑道。他知道他还有更多关于他的龙的知识。

“It feels good to be outside,right,Worm?” Drake asked.The green Dragon Stone around Drake's neck tingled a bit.He smiled.
“在外面感觉很好，对吧，蠕虫？”德雷克问道。德雷克脖子上的绿色龙石有些刺痛。他笑了。

Each of the Dragon Masters wore a piece of the stone.It helped them connect with and train their dragons.
每个驯龙师都佩戴了一块石头。它帮助他们与龙建立联系并训练他们的龙。

When the stone glowed,Drake knew that he and Worm had a very strong connection. Drake could sometimes hear Worm's voice inside his head when they were connecting. But the other Dragon Masters'stones had not
当石头发光时，德雷克知道他和沃姆有着非常紧密的联系。当他们连接时，德雷克有时可以在脑海中听到蠕虫的声音。但其他驯龙师的石头却没有

glowed yet.
还发光了。

Drake looked back up at the
德雷克抬头看了看

body shone with light.
身体闪耀着光芒。

Then Drake understood.“Oh,Iget it.Kepri has light powers because she's a Sun Dragon, right?”Drake asked the other Dragon Masters.
然后德雷克明白了。哦，我明白了。凯普里拥有光明的力量，因为她是太阳龙，对吧？德雷克问其他龙师。

Rorisnorted.“Ofcourse that's why.It's just like how Fire Dragons have firepowers,and Water Dragons have water powers.”
罗里斯哼了一声。当然，这就是原因。这就像火龙有火力，水龙有水力一样。

Rorican be friendly sometimes,thought Drake.And other times she's not friendlyat all!
Rorican有时很友好，Drake想，而其他时候她一点也不友好！

His face turned red.“I'm still learning,”he said.“I haven't been a Dragon Master as long as you.”
他的脸涨得通红。我还在学习，“他说。我当龙师的时间不如你长。

Rori,Bo,and Ana had already been training for weeks when Drake got to the castle.He still felt like he had a lot of catching up to do.   Above them,Vulcan swooped down from  the sky,showing off and shooting another    stream of fire.It hit the ground right next to Griffith,and the grass burst into
当德雷克到达城堡时，罗里、博和安娜已经训练了几个星期。他仍然觉得自己还有很多事情要做。在他们头顶上，火神从天而降，炫耀并射出另一股火流。它正好撞到格里菲斯旁边的地面上，草丛突然冒了出来

flames.The wizard jumped
火焰。巫师跳了起来

“Careful there,Vulcan!”Griffith called out. He pointed his fingerat the fire.Water flowed from his fingertip,and the flames went out.
“小心点，火神！”格里菲斯喊道。他用手指了指火。水从他的指尖流出，火焰熄灭了。

Drake's eyes grew wide.“I will never get tired of seeing wizard magic,”he said to Bo, who was standing beside him.Bo nodded.
德雷克瞪大了眼睛。我永远不会厌倦看到巫师魔法，“他对站在他身边的博说。薄熙来点了点头。

Drake looked over at Worm.The dragon's eyes glowed bright green.
德雷克看向蠕虫，龙的眼睛发出亮绿色的光芒。

That's strange,thought Drake.His eyes glow when he's using his powers. What could he be using his powers on right now?
这很奇怪，德雷克想，当他使用他的力量时，他的眼睛会发光。他现在能用他的力量做什么？

Worm was staring up at the sky. V 8
蠕虫盯着天空。第 8 节

Drake followed his gaze.Worm was looking at Kepri high up in the air.Her white wings had stopped flapping.Worm must have sensed that she was in trouble.
德雷克顺着他的目光看去。Worm在高空中看着Kepri。她白色的翅膀已经停止了拍打。蠕虫一定感觉到她有麻烦了。

“Watch out!Kepri is falling!”Drake yelled.
“小心！凯普里要倒下了！德雷克喊道。

In a looked up and started to scream.The other Dragon Masters also looked to the sky. Griffith pointed a finger at Kepri.
抬起头，开始尖叫。其他驯龙师也看向了天空。格里菲斯用手指了指凯普里。

“I'll try to slow her down!”the wizard cried.Lightning sizzled from his finger.But before Griffith could use his magic,a red blur shot across the sky.
“我会试着让她慢下来！”巫师喊道。闪电从他的手指上发出嘶嘶声。但还没等格里菲斯施展魔法，天空中就出现了一道红色的模糊。

It was Vulcan,flying faster than Drake had ever seen him fly before.He lunged for Kepri and grabbed her with his front claws.
那是火神，飞得比德雷克以前见过的还要快。他冲向凯普里，用前爪抓住了她。

“Go,Vulcan!”Rori cheered.
“去吧，火神！”罗里欢呼起来。

Vulcan flew in a circle around the valley, slowing down.Then he gently placed Kepri in the grass.
火神在山谷周围飞了一圈，放慢了速度。然后他轻轻地把凯普里放在草地上。

Everyone ran to Kepri.The dragon's eyes were closed.Her breathing was loud and heavy. Ana stroked Kepri's head.
所有人都跑到凯普里那里，龙的眼睛闭上了。她的呼吸响亮而沉重。安娜抚摸着凯普里的头。

“Oh,Kepri,are you all right?”she asked,her voice shaking.
“哦，凯普里，你没事吧？”她问道，声音颤抖。

Griffith leaned over Kepri,frowning.“I'm afraid she doesn't look well,”he said.
格里菲斯靠在凯普里身上，皱着眉头。我担心她看起来不太好，“他说。

Ana turned to the wizard.“She has seemed a little off since last week—when the tunnel caved in.She gets tired easily.And sometimes her eyes look cloudy.I should have said something!”
安娜转向巫师。自从上周隧道塌陷以来，她似乎有点不对劲。她很容易感到疲倦。有时她的眼睛看起来很浑浊。我应该说点什么！

Griffith put a hand on her shoulder.“It's not your fault,Ana,”he said.“But are you sure Keprionly started looking sick afterthat
格里菲斯把一只手放在她的肩膀上。这不是你的错，安娜，“他说。但是你确定在那之后，Keprionly开始看起来生病了吗

Drake,Bo,and Rori looked at one another A week before,they had all tried to sneak out of the castle with their dragons.Since King Roland wanted to keep the dragons a secret,most dragon training had to take place underground.The Dragon Masters had only wanted to get outside to do some night flying.
德雷克、博和罗里面面相觑 一周前，他们都试图带着他们的龙偷偷溜出城堡。由于罗兰国王想对龙保密，大多数驯龙都必须在地下进行。驯龙师们只想到外面去做一些夜间飞行。

Then a glowing red orb had flown into the tunnel that led to the valley.
然后一个发光的红色球体飞进了通往山谷的隧道。

The red ball of light scared Vulcan so he tried to get away.
红色的光球吓坏了火神，所以他试图逃跑。

His huge body banged into the tunnel walls,and he had made the tunnel cave in.
他巨大的身躯撞在隧道的墙壁上，他让隧道塌陷了。

Worm used his mind powers to help them escape.He broke up the big rocks blocking
蠕虫用他的精神力量帮助他们逃脱。他打破了阻挡的大石头

had saved them all.   But now  something was wrong with Kepri.
救了他们所有人。但现在凯普里出了点问题。

“Why did you
“你为什么

ask about the cave-in, Griffith?”asked Bo.
问问塌陷的事，格里菲斯？薄熙来问道。

“The red orb worries me,”Griffith answered.
“红色的球体让我担心，”格里菲斯回答。

“It must have been made by a dark wizard,as I had feared.And dark magic can make Sun Dragons sick.”
“它一定是黑巫师制造的，正如我所担心的那样。黑魔法会让太阳龙生病。

V 15 c

“So Kepri's illness is connected to that weird ball?”asked Ana.“And the other dragons are okay because they're not Sun Dragons?”
“所以凯普里的病和那个奇怪的球有关？”安娜问道。而其他龙也没事，因为它们不是太阳龙吗？

“I think so,”said Griffith.
“我想是的，”格里菲斯说。

“Do you know any dark wizards?”Drake asked with a shiver.
“你认识黑巫师吗？”德雷克颤抖着问道。

“No time for tales now,”said Griffith with a wave of his hand.
“现在没时间讲故事了，”格里菲斯挥了挥手说。

Suddenly,Rori cried out.“Look!Kepri is getting up!”
突然，罗里哭了起来。看！凯普里要起床了！

The dragon had opened her eyes and was standing on all four legs.
龙睁开了眼睛，四条腿都站着。

“She looks well enough to walk back to the dragon caves,”Griffith said.“Come along.”
“她看起来很好，可以走回龙洞，”格里菲斯说。来吧。

He led the Dragon Masters and their dragons back through the tunnel.The tunnelled to the big,underground Dragon Room.
他带领驯龙师和他们的龙穿过隧道。隧道通向巨大的地下龙室。

When they got there,a big man with red
当他们到达那里时，一个穿着红色的大个子

hair waited for them.He wore a vest with a gold dragon on it,and a metal crown on his head.Two guards stood behind him.
头发在等着他们。他穿着一件背心，上面有一条金龙，头上戴着一顶金属皇冠。两名警卫站在他身后。

Griffith stopped.“King Roland!”he said. “What brings you down here?”
格里菲斯停了下来。罗兰国王！他说。“你怎么来了？”

The king frowned.“Whatis this I hearabout

Zrake looked over at his friend Bo.He could tell Bo was thinking the same thing he was:
Zrake看向他的朋友Bo，他可以看出Bo也在想同样的事情：

How did the king know one of the dragons was sick?
国王是怎么知道其中一条龙生病的？

“I have spies hidden in the Valley of Clouds,” the king said,as if he had read their minds. “You almost let these dragons escape once, Griffith.I want to make sure they are ready when I need them.”
“我有间谍藏在云谷里，”国王说，仿佛他已经读懂了他们的心思。“你差点让这些龙逃脱一次，格里菲斯，我想确保它们在我需要的时候准备好了。

“I understand,”Griffith said.
“我明白，”格里菲斯说。

Drake remembered that when the tunnel had caved in,Griffith hadn't told the king that
德雷克记得，当隧道塌陷时，格里菲斯没有告诉国王

the Dragon Masters had taken the dragons out.Instead,he said the dragons had tried to escape.Griffith had lied to protect the Dragon Masters.
驯龙者已经把龙带走了。相反，他说龙试图逃跑。格里菲斯为了保护驯龙师而撒谎。

Griffith had only wanted toprotect us when
格里菲斯只想保护我们

he told that lie,Drake thought.But now the
他说了那个谎言，德雷克想。但现在

国王对他而不是我们生气！

“So I will ask you again,Griffith,”said the

king.“Is one of the dragons sick?”
国王。其中一条龙生病了吗？

“Yes,Your Majesty,”said Griffith.“There seems to be something wrong with Kepri.”
“是的，陛下，”格里菲斯说。凯普里似乎有问题。

Alleyes turned to Kepri.Hereyes were cloudy. And her long,graceful neck was drooping.
Alleyes转向Kepri.Hereyes是浑浊的。她修长优美的脖子下垂。

“This makes me very unhappy,wizard.You are supposed to know all about dragons. Heal her!”
“这让我很不高兴，巫师。你应该对龙了如指掌。医治她！

“I will look for a cure right away,”Griffith
“我会马上寻找治疗方法，”格里菲斯

promised.
答应。

“You had better find one soon,”King Roland said,his eyes fixed on the wizard.“If not,I will find another wizard.”
“你最好尽快找到一个，”罗兰国王说，他的眼睛盯着巫师。如果没有，我会再找一个巫师。

King Roland turned and stormed out of the caves.His guards followed.
罗兰国王转身冲出了山洞。他的卫兵紧随其后。

Drake's stomach did a flip.Another wizard?
德雷克的肚子翻了个底朝天。另一个巫师？

What would we do without Griffith?
如果没有格里菲斯，我们会怎么做？

“What do we do now?”Ana asked Griffith, stroking Kepri's head.
“我们现在该怎么办？”安娜抚摸着凯普里的头问格里菲斯。

“I have many books about dragons,”the wizard replied.“We will start there.”
“我有很多关于龙的书，”巫师回答。我们将从那里开始。

“We?You mean we can help?”Drake asked.
“我们？你是说我们可以帮忙吗？德雷克问道。

“Of course!”Griffith said.“Please take your dragons into their caves.Then meet me in the Training Room.We must act quickly to save Kepri!”
“当然！”格里菲斯说。请把你的龙带进他们的洞穴。那就在训练室见我吧，我们必须迅速行动起来，拯救凯普里！

THE WIZARD'S POTION
巫师的药水

he Dragon Masters dropped off their dragons and headed to the Training Room. The section where Griffith taught lessons was kind of like a cave.
驯龙师们放下龙，前往训练室。格里菲斯上课的部分有点像一个洞穴。

Most days,everyone wanted to be outside in the Valley of Clouds.Drake loved it there because it reminded him of working in his family's onion fields.But today,nobody was complaining about staying inside.Everyone wanted to help Kepri.
大多数时候，每个人都想去云谷，德雷克喜欢那里，因为它让他想起了在他家的洋葱田里工作。但今天，没有人抱怨呆在里面。每个人都想帮助凯普里。

When they walked into the classroom, they saw a giant pile of books on the table.  “Everyone take a book,”Griffith said, pointing to a stack of books.“A dark
当他们走进教室时，他们看到桌子上有一大堆书。“每个人都拿一本书，”格里菲斯指着一摞书说。黑暗

Then Rori held up Dragon Lore.“I found something!"she cried.“Listen:Each Sun Dragon is born with a Moon Dragon twin.These twins can cure each otherofalmost anything.'Is this true?Does Kepri have a Moon Dragon twin?”
然后罗里举起了龙传说。我发现了一些东西！她哭了。听：每条太阳龙出生时都有一个月亮龙双胞胎。这对双胞胎几乎可以治愈对方的任何事情。凯普里有月龙双胞胎吗？

Griffith frowned.“I do not know.And if she does have a twin,that twin is likely very far away from here.There's no way we could find the Moon Dragon in time.”
格里菲斯皱起了眉头。我不知道。如果她真的有一对双胞胎，那对双胞胎很可能离这里很远。我们不可能及时找到月亮龙。

Ana stood up.“Well,my book has a potion in it called Wicked-Away,”she said.“It heals creatures harmed by dark magic.”
安娜站了起来。嗯，我的书里有一种药水叫Wicked-Away，“她说。它可以治愈被黑魔法伤害的生物。

Drake walked to the left side of the room, and Bo took the right side.Drake picked up a jar with purple liquid inside.
德雷克走到房间的左边，博走到右边。德雷克拿起一个罐子，里面装着紫色的液体。

“Lily dew,”he read out loud.He checked a few more jars—and then saw something glowing on the topshelf.Standing on his toes, he grabbed it.
“百合露，”他大声朗读。他又检查了几个罐子，然后看到顶层架子上有什么东西在发光。他踮起脚尖，抓住了它。

A pale blue light shimmered inside the jar. Drake read the label.
淡蓝色的光芒在罐子里闪烁。德雷克读了标签。

“Moonbeams!I've got them!”he shouted. “And I've got the seeds,”Bo said.“Let's go!”
“月光！我有！他喊道。“我得到了种子，”Bo说。走吧！

When they got back to the classroom,Rori was stirring liquid in a black metal pot.Ana was reading directions aloud from her book. Griffith clapped his hands when he saw the two boys.
当他们回到教室时，罗里正在一个黑色的金属锅里搅拌液体。安娜正在大声朗读她书中的指示。格里菲斯看到两个男孩时拍了拍手。

“Thatwas fast!Now,let's make this healing potion,”said Griffith.“Drake,empty the jar into the pot.Bo,add three seeds,please.”
“太快了！现在，让我们制作这种治疗药水，“格里菲斯说。德雷克，把罐子倒进锅里。博，请加三粒种子。

Drake carefully opened the jar lid.The moonbeams slid out like water.Then Bo dropped in three black seeds.
德雷克小心翼翼地打开罐盖，月光像水一样滑了出来。然后薄熙来投进了三颗黑色的种子。

“Keep stirring,Rori,”Griffith said.
“继续搅拌，罗里，”格里菲斯说。

Rori stirred.The liquid turned blue and started to shine.A soft light came from the pot.Griffith scooped up some liquid with a ladle and put it in a clean jar.
罗里激动地说道。液体变成蓝色并开始发光。一盏柔和的光从锅里传来。格里菲斯用勺子舀了一些液体，放在一个干净的罐子里。

“Will this potion make Kepri feel better?” Bo asked.
“这种药水会让凯普里感觉好些吗？”薄熙来问道。

“There's onlyone way to find out,”Griffith said.
“只有一种方法可以找出答案，”格里菲斯说。

Griffith handed the jar to Ana.“You are her Dragon Master.She will listen to you.She must drink this,”he said.
格里菲斯把罐子递给安娜。你是她的龙师，她会听你的。她必须喝这个，“他说。

Ana nodded.She walked up to Kepri. “I have something for you,”she said softly.
安娜点了点头。她走到凯普里面前。“我有东西要给你，”她轻声说。

Kepri opened her eyes.She smiled when she saw Ana.“We made it for you—to make you well again,”Ana said,holding up the jar.

Bo looked at Griffith.“Will the potion work right away?”
Bo看着Griffith。药水会马上起作用吗？

“I donot know,”Griffith said.“We must wait and see.You all should head to dinner while I stay with Kepri.”
“我不知道，”格里菲斯说。我们必须拭目以待。你们都应该去吃晚饭，而我和凯普里在一起。

“I'm not leaving her,”Ana said firmly. 33
“我不会离开她，”安娜坚定地说。33

Griffith put a gentle hand on her shoulder. “Ana,you must take care ofyourself,”he said. “You must stay strong for Kepri.I will send for you if anything changes.”
格里菲斯把一只温柔的手放在她的肩膀上。“安娜，你必须照顾好自己，”他说。“你必须为凯普里保持坚强，如果有什么变化，我会派人来找你。”

The Dragon Masters left the cave,leaving a worried wizard and a sick dragon behind them.
驯龙师们离开了山洞，留下了一个忧心忡忡的巫师和一条生病的龙。

在餐厅里，他们都在吃晚饭。安娜只吃了几口食物。德雷克吃了一些胡萝卜和鸡肉，但只比平时多了一半。Bo盯着他的盘子。就连罗里也安静地等待着改变。

德雷克感到眼泪刺痛了他的眼睛。他知道自己正在为国王做重要的工作，但他仍然想念他的母亲。

“I wish I could tell my family about the dragons,”Drake said.
“我希望我能告诉我的家人关于龙的事情，”德雷克说。

“They have to be kept a secret,”Rori warned.
“他们必须保密，”罗里警告说。

“I wish my father would write to me more often,”Ana said.“I'd like to hear about his adventures.”
“我希望我父亲能更频繁地给我写信，”安娜说。我想听听他的冒险经历。

“What kind of adventures?”Bo asked.
“什么样的冒险？”薄熙来问道。

“My father sells beautiful fabrics,”she said. “He travels allover far-away lands selling them. And we lived near the pyramids,so I often went there with him.”
“我父亲卖漂亮的布料，”她说。“他走遍了遥远的土地，卖掉了它们。我们住在金字塔附近，所以我经常和他一起去那里。

“What's a pyramid?”Rori asked.
“什么是金字塔？”罗里问道。

V 37c

“It holds a king's body after he dies.It's sort ofshaped like this.”Ana made a triangle shape with her hands.“The pyramids are bigger than anything you've ever seen.”
“它保存着国王死后的尸体。它的形状有点像这样。安娜用手做了一个三角形。金字塔比你见过的任何东西都要大。

“Your dad's adventures sound amazing,” said Drake.
“你爸爸的冒险听起来很神奇，”德雷克说。

V 38c

“They are.”Ana sighed.“But they're also dangerous.There are many robbers on the roads.The robbers steal from people who have goods to sell-like our fabrics.And they often steal gold and other treasures from the pyramids.That is why my father did not argue when King Roland's men came for me. He knew I would be safer elsewhere.”
“他们是。”安娜叹了口气。但它们也很危险。路上有很多劫匪。强盗从有商品可卖的人那里偷东西——比如我们的织物。他们经常从金字塔中偷走黄金和其他宝藏。这就是为什么当罗兰国王的手下来找我时，我父亲没有争辩。他知道我在其他地方会更安全。

Ana looked sad.Bo was quiet.
安娜看起来很伤心。薄熙来很安静。

Iguess everyone else is justas homesick as
我想其他人都一样想家

After dinner,Drake and Bo went to the room that they shared.Drake climbed into bed and fell asleep right away.He dreamed of rivers and big tombs shaped like triangles. Then the desert sky turned green...bright green.Drake woke up.
晚饭后，德雷克和博去了他们共用的房间。德雷克爬上床，马上就睡着了。他梦见河流和三角形的大坟墓。然后沙漠的天空变成了绿色......亮绿色。德雷克醒了。

The green Dragon Stone around his neck was glowing brightly.
他脖子上的绿色龙石发出耀眼的光芒。

Worm needs me!Drake thought.
蠕虫需要我！德雷克想。

Then he heard Worm's voice inside his mind.
然后他在脑海中听到了蠕虫的声音。

Come now!
来吧！

“Worm needs us!”Drake cried.
“蠕虫需要我们！”德雷克哭了。

That was all Bo needed to hear.The boys raced downstairs to the door that led to the dragon training area.Drake tried to open it.
这就是薄熙来需要听到的。男孩们跑下楼，来到通往驯龙区的门口。德雷克试图打开它。

“It's locked!”Drake cried.
“它被锁住了！”德雷克哭了。

“Good thing I have a key,”said a voice.
“还好我有一把钥匙，”一个声音说。

Drake and Bo turned around.Rori and Ana were standing there.Rori held up a key.
Drake和Bo转过身来。罗里和安娜站在那里。罗里举起一把钥匙。

“Where did you get that?”Drake asked.
“你从哪里弄来的？”德雷克问道。

“I swiped it from one of the castle guards when Ifirst gothere,”Rorisaid.“It's a skeleton key.It opens up all the locks in the castle.”
“当我第一次去那里时，我从一个城堡守卫那里刷了它，”罗里说。这是一把骷髅钥匙。它打开了城堡里所有的锁。

“We came running as soon as we heard you two stomping down the hall!”Ana added. “We figured something was up.”
“我们一听到你们俩在大厅里跺脚就跑了！”安娜补充道。“我们觉得出事了。”

“I'm glad you came.But please hurry!” Drake said.
“我很高兴你来了。但请快点！德雷克说。

Rori opened the door.
罗里打开了门。

When they got to Kepri's cave,Worm was in front of it.
当他们到达凯普里的洞穴时，蠕虫就在它前面。

How did Worm get out of his cave?Drake
蠕虫是怎么从山洞里出来的？雄鴨

wondered.
想。

“Worm,what's wrong?”he asked.
“虫子，怎么了？”他问道。

Worm nodded toward Kepri.The gate to her cave was open and the Dragon Masters stepped inside.Griffith was asleepin the corner. Books were piled around him.
蠕虫朝凯普里点了点头，她的洞穴大门打开了，龙师走了进去。格里菲斯在角落里睡着了。书堆在他周围。

Kepri was asleep,too-but she looked sicker than before.Her scales looked dull.She looked thin and pale.Her breathing was loud and heavy.
凯普里也睡着了，但她看起来比以前更不舒服了。她的鳞片看起来很暗淡。她看起来又瘦又苍白。她的呼吸响亮而沉重。

The Dragon Masters were stunned.
驯龙师们都惊呆了。

“She wasn't this sick earlier,”Rorisaid.“Did the potion make her worse?”
“她以前没有病过，”罗里说。药水让她变得更糟了吗？

“Maybe it just didn't work,”Bo said.
“也许它只是没有用，”薄熙来说。

“We have to do something!”Ana cried. Drake looked at Worm.
“我们必须做点什么！”安娜哭了。Drake看着Worm。

“Isn't there anything we can do?”Drake whispered.
“难道我们无能为力吗？”德雷克低声说。

Worm's body began to glow.Drake wasn't sure why,but he knew just what to do.He put one hand on Worm's snout and one hand
蠕虫的身体开始发光。德雷克不知道为什么，但他知道该怎么做。他把一只手放在Worm的鼻子上，一只手放在Worm的鼻子上

“Everybody,touch Worm!Now!”he yelled.
“大家，摸摸虫子！现在！他喊道。

Startled,his friends obeyed.They all laid their hands on Worm.
他的朋友们吓了一跳，服从了。他们都把手放在了蠕虫身上。

Griffith's eyes snapped open.
格里菲斯的眼睛猛地睁开。

“What is going on?”the wizard asked.
“这是怎么回事？”巫师问道。

But before Drake could answer,green light exploded in the room,blinding them.
但还没等德雷克回答，房间里就爆发了绿光，把他们弄瞎了。

rake felt weird.He couldn't feel the ground under his feet.But he could still feel his hand on Worm.His stomach did a flip-flop.
耙子感觉很奇怪。他感觉不到脚下的地面。但他仍然能感觉到他的手在蠕虫身上，他的肚子做了一个人字拖。

Then the green light faded.Drake blinked. His feet landed on sand,and he could feel cool air on his face.
然后绿灯消失了。德雷克眨了眨眼。他的脚踩在沙子上，他能感觉到凉爽的空气扑面而来。

Worm,Kepri,and the Dragon Masters were standing on a pathway.A white stone wall lined one side of the path.On the other side of them was a tall,strangely shaped building. Griffith was not with them.
蠕虫、凯普里和龙师们站在一条小路上。一堵白色的石墙排列在小路的一侧。在他们的另一边是一座高大的、形状奇特的建筑。格里菲斯没有和他们在一起。

Worm,why didyou bring us here?Drake
虫子，你为什么把我们带到这里来？雄鴨

wondered.
想。

Drake looked up at the big building.Each of the building's four sides was shaped like a triangle.The pointy top was capped with shining gold.
德雷克抬头看了看那座大建筑。建筑物的四个边中的每一个都像一个三角形。尖顶上覆盖着闪亮的金色。

Ana's eyes got wide.“Apyramid!”she cried.
安娜瞪大了眼睛。金字塔！她哭了。

“Drake,what have you done?Where are we?”Rori asked.She sounded scared.
“德雷克，你做了什么？我们在哪里？罗里问道。她听起来很害怕。

Ana turned to her.“I think we are in my homeland.”
安娜转向她。我想我们是在我的祖国。

“But how...?”Drake started to say.Then he looked at Worm.The dragon's green eyes were shining.“Worm must have used his mind powers to bring us here!”
“可是怎么回事......？”德雷克开始说。然后他看着蠕虫，龙的绿色眼睛闪闪发光。蠕虫一定是用他的精神力量把我们带到了这里！

“That's impossible!”said Rori.“Dragons can't travel halfway across the world using their minds.”
“那不可能！”罗里说。龙不能用他们的思想穿越半个地球。

“Look around you,Rori,”Bo said.“It must be possible.We are no longer in the Kingdom
“环顾四周，罗里，”博说。这一定是可能的。我们已不在王国里了

“But why didn't Worm bring Vulcan and Shu with us?”Rori asked.
“可是沃姆为什么不把火神和舒带过来呢？”罗里问道。

Drake thought back to Kepri's cave.“We were all touching Worm.And I was touching Kepri. But the other dragons were still in their caves.”
德雷克回想起凯普里的山洞。我们都在摸 Worm，而我在摸 Kepri。但其他的龙仍然在他们的洞穴里。

“And now we are here,in the land where Kepri and I were born,”said Ana.
“现在我们在这里，在凯普里和我出生的土地上，”安娜说。

“Wait!Remember what I read in Griffith's book-about Sun Dragon twins?”Rori asked, her voice getting excited.“It said that every Sun Dragon has a Moon Dragon twin that can heal it.”
“等等！还记得我在格里菲斯的书里读到的关于太阳龙双胞胎的内容吗？罗莉问道，她的声音变得兴奋起来。它说每条太阳龙都有一个可以治愈它的月龙双胞胎。

“So Kepri's twin might be here!”said Bo.
“所以凯普里的双胞胎可能在这里！”薄熙来说。

“Do you think that's why Worm brought us here?”asked Drake.
“你认为这就是蠕虫把我们带到这里的原因吗？”德雷克问道。

V 50 c

Suddenly,they heard loud voices.The voices came from the other side of the stone wall.Drake didn't understand the language.
突然，他们听到了响亮的声音。声音从石墙的另一边传来。德雷克听不懂这种语言。

But Ana did.“Oh,no!Robbers!They often come to the pyramids to steal things.That must be why they are here!We cannot let anyone see us—or our dragons!”
但安娜做到了。哦不！强盗！他们经常来金字塔偷东西。那一定是他们来这里的原因！我们不能让任何人看到我们——或者我们的龙！

“But there's nowhere to hide!”said Bo.
“可是无处可藏！”薄熙来说。

Just then,a boy stepped out from the shadows.He had golden-brown skin and black hair,like Ana.
就在这时，一个男孩从阴影中走了出来。他有金棕色的皮肤和黑色的头发，就像安娜一样。

“Follow me!”he said.
“跟我来！”他说。

oristepped closer to the boy.“Why should we follow you?”she asked.“We don't even know you!”
奥里走近了那个男孩。我们为什么要跟着你？她问。我们甚至不认识你！

“Trust me,”the boy said,just as the robbers’ voices grew louder.“I am surprised to see that you have dragons.But I know how to keep them safe.Come on!”
“相信我，”男孩说，就在这时，劫匪的声音越来越大。我很惊讶地看到你有龙。但我知道如何保证他们的安全。加油！

“We must hurry!”Ana said. 52
“我们必须快点！”安娜说。52

They had no choice.The boy waved for them to follow him.He touched the pyramid. One of the big stones pushed in,revealing an opening.
他们别无选择。男孩挥手示意他们跟着他。他摸了摸金字塔。其中一块大石头推了进来，露出了一个开口。

A secret door!Drake thought.
一扇暗门！德雷克想。

“Inside,quick!”the boy said.“Dragons first.”
“进去，快！”男孩说。首先是龙。

He stepped aside to let them in.Kepri was weak,but Worm nudged her gently with his nose.She stepped through the door.As Drake walked past the boy,he saw a cord around the boy's neck.Something green and sparkling was dangling from the cord.
他走到一边让他们进来。Kepri很虚弱，但Worm用鼻子轻轻地推了她一下。她跨进了门。当德雷克从男孩身边走过时，他看到男孩的脖子上缠着一根绳子。绳子上挂着一些绿色闪闪发光的东西。

A Dragon Stone!
一块龙石！

The boy slipped in behind Drake and the secret door closed.They were inside a dark tunnel.Faming torches lined the walls.
男孩跟在德雷克身后溜了进来，暗门关上了。他们在一个黑暗的隧道里。墙上挂满了火把。

Drake turned to the boy.
德雷克转向那个男孩。

“Who are you?Are you a Dragon Master, too?”He pointed to the green stone around the boy's neck.Ana,Rori,and Bo gasped when they saw it.
“你是谁？你也是龙师吗？他指了指男孩脖子上的绿色石头。Ana、Rori 和 Bo 看到它时倒吸了一口凉气。

The boy smiled.“My name is Heru,”he said. “I do not know what a Dragon Master is.My
男孩笑了。我的名字是赫鲁，“他说。“我不知道什么是驯龙师。我

“KingRoland calls us Dragon Masters,”Drake explained.“We were chosen by the Dragon Stone to work with dragons.”
“罗兰王称我们为龙师，”德雷克解释道。我们被龙石选中与龙一起工作。

“I have not heard of King Roland.Are you from far away?”Heru asked.
“我没听说过罗兰国王，你是从远方来的吗？”赫鲁问道。

Bo nodded.“Very far.”
薄熙来点了点头。很远。

Heru frowned.“How strange.Can you tell me why Wati brought me here tonight?”
赫鲁皱起了眉头。真奇怪。你能告诉我为什么瓦蒂今晚把我带到这里来吗？

Ana was stroking Kepri's neck.The dragon's eyes seemed brighternow that she was inside the pyramid.
安娜抚摸着凯普里的脖子。龙的眼睛似乎更亮了，因为她在金字塔里。

“Who's Wati?”Drake asked.

Heru grinned.“He is my dragon.”
