旁白 neutral

Perda stared at the tiny frozen woman

佩达盯着那个微小的冰封女人。

旁白 neutral

" That must be the Roodian queen!" she exclaimed

“那一定是鲁迪安王后！”她惊呼道。

旁白 neutral

Zann spun around, his eyes searching the icy cave

赞恩转过身，眼睛搜索着冰洞。

旁白 neutral

" But where are my parents?" he cried." They should be here!

“但是我的父母在哪里？”他喊道。“他们应该在这里！

旁白 neutral

The queen was with them in my dream!"

王后在我的梦里和他们在一起！”

旁白 neutral

" Let's get the queen free, and maybe she can tell us."

“我们把王后解救出来吧，也许她能告诉我们。”

旁白 neutral

Venna turned to Wyssa." What do you think? Should we try an Extraction spell?"

维娜转向威莎。“你觉得呢？我们该试试提取咒吗？”

旁白 neutral

Wyssa frowned and stroked her chin." That could injure her if there are any imperfections in the ice. What about a Supplanting spell?"

威莎皱起眉头，抚着下巴。“如果冰里有任何瑕疵，那可能会伤到她。换用置换咒如何？”

旁白 neutral

" Do you think you can manage that?" Venna sounded doubtful

“你觉得你能做到吗？”维娜听起来有些怀疑。

旁白 neutral

" If we don't get the dimensions exactly right..."

“如果我们不能把尺寸弄得分毫不差……”

旁白 neutral

Zing bounded over and sniffed at the trapped queen

辛跳了过去，嗅了嗅被困住的女王。

旁白 neutral

He whistled curiously, and a wisp of flame escaped his mouth

他好奇地吹了声口哨，一缕火焰从嘴里冒了出来。

旁白 neutral

" Careful, Zing," Darb said." Don't burn her."

“小心，辛，”达布说，“别烧到她。”

旁白 neutral

" No, wait, look." Gliss pointed." He's melting the ice!"

“不，等等，看。”格丽丝指着说，“他在融化冰块！”

旁白 neutral

" Go, Zing," Zann urged." Keep melting it!"

“继续，辛，”赞恩催促道，“接着融化它！”

旁白 neutral

The little dragon breathed on the block of ice, which quickly melted. Within seconds the queen was free

小龙对着冰块呼气，冰块很快就融化了。几秒钟内，女王便脱了身。

旁白 neutral

Perda grinned." Good job, Zing. That was much easier than using any of those complicated spells."

佩达咧嘴笑了。“干得好，辛。这比用那些复杂的咒语省事多了。”

旁白 neutral

" Thank you!" the queen said breathlessly, shaking icy droplets from her clothes

“谢谢你们！”女王喘着气说，一边抖掉衣服上的冰珠。

旁白 neutral

" But please! You have to stop him!"

“但是，求求你们！你们必须阻止他！”

旁白 neutral

Venna nodded." We know. Morb already tried to take over Magica once."

维娜点了点头。“我们知道。莫布之前已经试图占领过玛吉卡一次了。”

旁白 neutral

The queen shook her head." He's not trying to take over your world this time," she said." He's trying to destroy it!"

女王摇了摇头。“他这次不是要占领你们的世界，”她说。“他是要摧毁它！”

旁白 neutral

" What?" Gliss exclaimed

“什么？”格丽丝惊呼。

旁白 neutral

" Destroy it?" Zann said." How?"

“摧毁它？”赞恩说，“怎么可能？”

旁白 neutral

Venna shook her head." Impossible," she said

维娜摇了摇头。“不可能。”她说。

旁白 neutral

" Yes, the Horn of the Otherworld is one of the most powerful relics known

“没错，异界号角是已知最强大的圣物之一。

旁白 neutral

But Morb is crazy if he thinks he can use it to destroy an entire world. It doesn't have that much power."

但如果莫布以为能用它摧毁整个世界，那他就是疯了。它没那么大力量。”

旁白 neutral

" Not on its own," Wyssa said slowly

“单靠它不行，”威莎缓缓说道。

旁白 neutral

" Don't you know where the Horn came from originally?"

“你们难道不知道号角原本来自哪里吗？”

旁白 neutral

Venna shrugged." A faraway world of powerful magic

维娜耸耸肩。“一个遥远的世界，拥有强大的魔法。

旁白 neutral

That's all the ancient texts say about it."

古籍上就只说了这些。”

旁白 neutral

" Where did it come from?" Perda asked Wyssa

“它是从哪里来的？”佩达问威莎。

旁白 neutral

Wyssa looked grim." From the head of the Beast of the Otherworld."

威莎脸色凝重。“来自异界野兽的头上。”

旁白 neutral

" What?" Gliss shuddered." You mean that horrible thing outside?"

“什么？”格丽丝打了个冷颤。“你是说外面那个可怕的东西？”

旁白 neutral

Darb frowned." But the Beast didn't have any horns."

达布皱起眉头。“但那头野兽没有角啊。”

旁白 neutral

" Exactly," Wyssa said." It originally had two horns growing from its head

“没错，”威莎说。“它的头上原本长着两只角。”

旁白 neutral

According to legend, it fought a terrible battle long ago with a Forellian deathshifter

根据传说，很久以前它曾与一个弗雷利亚变形死亡兽进行过一场可怕的战斗。

旁白 neutral

That's how it lost the horn you've seen, the one that later became a relic in Magica."

它就是这样失去了你见到的那只角，后来成为了马吉卡的一件圣物。”

旁白 neutral

" And the second horn?" Zann said

“那第二只角呢？”赞恩说。

旁白 neutral

Wyssa shrugged." That part is a mystery

威莎耸了耸肩。“那部分是个谜。”

旁白 neutral

The legends don't mention anything about the second horn

传说中没有提到任何关于第二只角的事情。

旁白 neutral

So as far as I know, the Beast still had it until very recently."

据我所知，直到最近，那头野兽还持有它。

旁白 neutral

" Yes," said the Roodian queen." Recently Morb disabled the Beast long enough to cut off the remaining horn."

“是的，”鲁迪安女王说，“最近莫布让野兽无法动弹了好一阵子，趁机把剩下的那只角切了下来。”

旁白 neutral

Zann remembered the dark stuff dripping from the Beast's head and realized it must have been blood

赞恩想起了从野兽头上滴落的黑色东西，意识到那必定是血。

旁白 neutral

" But how did Morb disable the Beast?" asked Darb

“但莫布是怎么能让野兽无法动弹的？”达布问道。

旁白 neutral

The queen pointed to the mibbit, which was peeking out from Darb's arms." He used that creature."

女王指向从达布怀里探出头来的米比特。“他用了那个生物。”

旁白 neutral

" Of course, I should have guessed," Wyssa muttered

“当然，我早该猜到的。”威莎咕哝道。

旁白 neutral

" The mibbit is probably the only creature in all the known worlds that could overcome the Beast's powerful magic."

“在所有已知世界里，米比特很可能是唯一能压制住野兽强大魔法的生物了。”

旁白 neutral

" What about a scatter beast?" Venna said

“那散播兽呢？”维娜说。

旁白 neutral

" Well, yes, that would work too." Wyssa looked thoughtful

“嗯，是的，那也行得通。”威莎露出了若有所思的表情。

旁白 neutral

" But Morb would have trouble controlling a scatter beast safely

“但莫布很难安全地控制一只散播兽。

旁白 neutral

Since he's a Void, a mibbit would be — "

既然他是虚空族，米比特就会——”

旁白 neutral

A sudden whooshing sound cut her off

突然一阵呼啸声打断了她。

旁白 neutral

Gliss screamed." Something just ripped my sleeve!"

格丽丝尖叫起来。“有东西刚撕破了我的袖子！”

旁白 neutral

Zann ducked as a tiny shape zipped past his face, missing him by the width of a dragon's scale

赞恩猛地一躲，一个小巧的身影从他脸旁擦过，只差一片龙鳞的宽度就击中他了。

旁白 neutral

Spinning around, he saw a lizard with a sharp blade for a snout, which was embedded in the icy wall. It was already pulling itself free

他转过身，看到一只嘴部长着锋利刀刃的蜥蜴，正嵌在冰壁上，已经在往外挣脱了。

旁白 neutral

" Blade lizards from Redsea," Wyssa said." Morb has always liked those."

“红海的刀片蜥蜴，”威莎说，“莫布一直很喜欢这些家伙。”

旁白 neutral

" Run!" Perda cried

“快跑！”佩达喊道。

旁白 neutral

" No, join hands!" Wyssa ordered." Blade lizards are too fast. We have to zap away."

“不，手拉手！”威莎命令道，“刀片蜥蜴太快了，我们得瞬移离开。”

旁白 neutral

Zap!

嗖！

旁白 neutral

Splash!

哗啦！

旁白 neutral

" Drat!" said Zann." I always..." His whole body froze before he could finish

“该死！”赞恩说，“我总是……”话没说完，他整个身体就僵住了。

旁白 neutral

Constant shocks were passing through him, making it impossible to move or even think

连续的电流传遍全身，让他无法动弹，甚至无法思考。

旁白 neutral

" Zann!" Perda cried." What's wrong?"

“赞恩！”佩达喊道，“你怎么了？”

旁白 neutral

" Hold on, boy," Wyssa called." I've got you."

“坚持住，孩子，”威莎喊道，“我来救你。”

旁白 neutral

Zann felt himself being levitated out of the water

赞恩感觉到自己被从水中托举起来。

旁白 neutral

By the time he landed, the shocks were wearing off

等到落地时，电击感正逐渐消退。

旁白 neutral

Finally he could look around. The whole group was in a small courtyard with an ornate fountain in the middle

终于，他能环顾四周了。整队人马都在一个小庭院里，中央有一座华丽的喷泉。

旁白 neutral

" What happened?" Zann asked

“发生什么事了？”赞恩问。

旁白 neutral

" Paralyzer pythons," Wyssa said." It's a good thing you were the only one who landed in the water."

“麻痹巨蟒，”威莎说，“幸好只有你掉进了水里。”

旁白 neutral

" Yeah," Zann muttered, glancing at the creatures writhing in the fountain." Good thing."

“是啊，”赞恩咕哝着，瞥了一眼还在喷泉里扭动的生物，“幸好。”

旁白 neutral

" This is bad," Wyssa said

“这下糟了。”威莎说。

旁白 neutral

" It sure is!" Gliss exclaimed." How many creatures does Morb have guarding this place, anyway?"

“当然糟！”格丽丝叫道，“莫布到底有多少生物守着这地方？”

旁白 neutral

" I'm not talking about the pythons, girl."

“我说的不是这些巨蟒，姑娘。”

旁白 neutral

Wyssa waved a hand dismissively." I'm talking about Morb's plan

威莎不以为然地摆摆手，“我说的是莫布的计划。

旁白 neutral

If he gets his hands on both horns at the same time, his power will be absolutely unimaginable."

如果他同时得到两只号角，他的力量将完全无法想象。”

旁白 neutral

" Yes." Venna sounded anxious." And thanks to that Possession spell he placed on me, the second horn is probably already here in Rood

“是啊。”维娜听起来很焦虑，“而且多亏他对我施了附身咒，第二只号角很可能已经在鲁德这里了。

旁白 neutral

But I still don't understand. How is he planning to use the horns to destroy Magica?"

但我还是不明白，他打算如何用号角摧毁魔法界？”

旁白 neutral

The Roodian queen spoke up." I think I know

鲁德女王开了口，“我想我知道。

旁白 neutral

The servants here in the fortress have been whispering about a terrible contraption Morb is building. He calls it a Memory Eater."

堡垒里的仆人们一直在悄悄议论莫布正在建造的一个可怕装置。他称之为‘记忆吞噬器’。”

旁白 neutral

" That sounds familiar." Venna bit her lip

“听起来很耳熟。”维娜咬着嘴唇说。

旁白 neutral

" I think it's mentioned in the ancient texts. But I'm not sure how it works."

“我想古代典籍中提到过，但我不确定它是如何工作的。”

旁白 neutral

" Do you know any more about this contraption?" Wyssa asked the queen

“关于这个装置，你还知道些什么吗？”威莎问女王。

旁白 neutral

" Only that Morb has brought prisoners from his home world to power it," the queen said

“我只知道，莫布从他原来的世界带来了囚犯来给它提供能量，”女王说。

旁白 neutral

" A man and a woman named Nax and Asta."

“一个男人和一个女人，名叫纳克斯和阿斯塔。”

旁白 neutral

Zann gasped." My parents!"

赞恩倒吸一口气，“我的父母！”
