" I've heard enough," Slib interrupted after a few minutes

" This Morb fellow sounds dangerous. We need to decide who's going to take over until the king and queen return."

We'll go somewhere more private to discuss it."

旁白 neutral

" Good idea," Yog said." I'll come too

旁白 neutral

I'd like to talk more with Boz's grandson." He smiled at Zann

旁白 neutral

Rixa nodded." I'll come as well. I know the perfect spot for such a conversation. Follow me."

旁白 neutral

Slib looked annoyed." Where are we going?" he asked as Rixa led him, the kids, and Yog down a hallway

斯利布一脸不悦。“我们要去哪儿？”里克莎带着他、孩子们和约格穿过走廊时，他问道。

旁白 neutral

" Please relax, kids," Rixa said." You'll be safe here while we figure out what to do."

“放松点，孩子们，”里克莎说，“在我们想出对策之前，你们在这里会很安全。”

旁白 neutral

For a moment Zann didn't understand. Then he noticed Rixa and Yog backing out of the room, pulling Slib along with them

赞恩一时没反应过来。随后他注意到里克莎和约格正拉着斯利布一起往房间外退去。

旁白 neutral

" Wait!" Perda said." Where are you going?"

“等等！”珀达说，“你们要去哪儿？”

旁白 neutral

" This is for your own protection," Rixa said

“这是为了保护你们，”里克莎说。

旁白 neutral

" No!" Zann protested." You can't shut us in here!"

“不！”赞恩抗议道，“你们不能把我们关在这里！”

旁白 neutral

Yog smiled kindly." Please don't try to use magic to get out

约格和蔼地笑了笑。“请不要试图用魔法出去。

旁白 neutral

You already told us it's not safe for you."

你们已经告诉过我们，那对你们不安全。”

旁白 neutral

" Besides, this suite is protected by extra-strong Shield spells," Rixa added

“另外，这套房间有特别强大的护盾法术保护，”里克莎补充道。

" Nobody can zap in or out without knowing the password."

" Wait!" cried Zann

“等等！”赞恩喊道。

旁白 neutral

But the door had already slammed shut
