"My name is Gorg," said the little goblin, "and I will tell you all the things I know.About an hour ago, we were all there busy doing our work, and I should say her was busy with her work silently and sadly, repeating what she had done for so many years, year after year, day after day.Then suddenly there was a loud rumbling bang.When I first heard this voice, everyone said to themselves: I haven't sung a song for a long time, I haven't danced a dance, I haven't let go of a firecracker, how can this be?
Then, everybody said to themselves, if only I knew why I was carrying this heavy load, I wasn't going to carry it any longer.That's it.So we threw away all our sacks, baggage, and tools.Then everyone turned around and saw a large red light in the distance.Everyone was asking what it was, and everyone was answering themselves: it turned out that there was a crack or a gap cracked, and the red light from the real deep land thousands of miles away from our feet was really too warm. ”"Oh my God," exclaimed Eustace, "is there anything lower and deeper than here," "yes, my lord," said Gorg, "it's a fascinating place."
We call it the Kingdom of Bism.The country we are in now is the country of witches, which we call shallowland.For us, the place was too close to the ground to be inhabitable.It's so bad that you might as well go outside and live on the ground.You know, we're all poor goblins from the kingdom of Bism, and the witch has summoned us here by magic to do things for her.However, we had forgotten all of this until the loud rumbling noise, and then the magic was broken.We don't know who we are or where we come from.We can't do anything, we can't think about anything other than what witches have instilled in our heads.Over the years, she has instilled in our minds something melancholy and pessimistic.I had almost forgotten how to tell jokes and how to dance jigs.But when the loud bang was heard, the crack broke, and the sea began to rise, all memories were restored.Of course we all set out quickly, and we could get down from the rift and get back to our own place.You can see them setting off fireworks over there, and they're playing upside down with their heads and feet in joy.I would be grateful if you could let me go right away and let me go back to my companions. ”"I think it's wonderful," said Jill, "and I'm glad that when we cut off the witch's head, we not only saved ourselves, but also the goblins."
I'm glad they weren't the same horrible and gloomy look anymore, just as the prince wasn't actually what he seemed. ”"All well and good, Jill," said Pudgren, cautiously, "but, in my opinion, those goblins don't look like some guys who are just running away.I think they look more like military formations as a whole.Look at my face, Mr.
Gorger, tell me, aren't you preparing for battle?"
"Of course we are going to prepare for war, my lord," said Gorg, "you see, we don't know that the witch is dead.We thought she would be watching our every move from the castle.We're trying to sneak away without her finding out.Then you came out on horseback with swords in hand.Of course, in this way, everyone secretly said that the time has come after all.We don't know that you are not in league with the witches, and all the goblins are determined to fight to the end at all costs, and will not give up hope of returning to the kingdom of Bism no matter what. ”"I swear he's an honest goblin," said the prince, "and let it go, friend Pudgren."
As for me, Gorgo, I, like you and your companions, have been bewitched by witches' magic, and I have only just remembered who I really am.Now, let me ask you one more question, did you know that the new road leading to the excavation area was the one that the witch was going to lead her army to attack the land world" "Oops," Gorg squeaked, "yes, I know that terrible path.I'll show you the starting point of that path.However, you must not use any method to get me to go with you, or I will be willing to die. ”"Why," Eustace asked, looking straight at it, "is there that scares you so much?"
"It's too close to the top, too close to the outside," said Gorgo, trembling, "it's the worst thing a witch has done to us.We're going to be taken out into the world.They said there was no top floor at all, just a terrifying void called the sky.It's been dug very far, and a few more digs will lead directly to the outside.I didn't dare go near there. ”"Wow, hooray, that's right," Eustace cheered."
But it's not scary at all, we all love it," Jill said.We all live there. ”"I know that you people from the land world live there.""
But, I think, it's because you can't find your way to the bottom of the ground."
You can't really like that place where flies crawl around the top of the world. ”"Show us the way now," Pudgren asked."
It's a good time."
The prince shouted.The whole team set off.The prince remounted his horse, and Pudgren climbed up behind Jill and sat down, with Gorg leading the way.As it walked, it continued to shout the good news that the witch was dead and that the four people from the land world were not in danger.The goblins who heard it shout passed the news to the other goblins, and it didn't take a few minutes for the entire underground world to burst into cheers.Thousands of goblins bouncing, somersaulting, headstands, jumping frogs, and setting off particularly large firecrackers.They flocked to the black charcoal and snowflakes.The prince had to tell them the whole story of his enchantment and deliverance over and over again, at least ten times.And just like that, they made their way to the edge of the crack.The crack was about 1,000 feet long and 200 feet wide.They dismounted and walked to the edge and looked down at the past.A strong heat slammed into their faces, mixed with something they had never heard before.The smell is thick and intense, and it's also pungent enough to make you sneeze.The depths of the crack were very bright, and when they first looked inside, they were so dizzy that they couldn't see anything.When they became accustomed to the bright light, they found that they could clearly distinguish a river of fire, and on the banks of that river of fire seemed to be fields and a grove that emitted an unbearable scorching glow, but it was dull compared to the river of fire.There are blues, reds, greens and whites, all intertwined, and a beautiful stained glass window may have the same effect in the direct rays of the tropical sun at midday.Under the reflection of the fiery red light, hundreds of underground people looked like black flies on the edge of the rugged cracks, scrambling to crawl downward."
My lords," said Gorg, and when they turned to look at him, they could not see anything for a moment except a blackening in front of them, and the intense heat of the ground had already dazzled them, "My lords, why don't you just go to the kingdom of Bism, where you must be happier and happier than the cold, uncovered, unprotected country above, or, at least, it would be good to come for a short visit." ”For a moment, Jill took it for granted that no one would listen to this idea, but to her consternation, she actually heard the prince say, "Tell you the truth, Golge friend, I kind of want to go down with you.Because this is an incredible expedition, perhaps no mortal has ever entered the Bism Kingdom to see it before, and I am afraid that such an opportunity will never be available again.As time passed, I remembered that I had such an opportunity to explore the deepest abyss of the earth, and I ended up regressing, what a pity, but can humans survive there, you won't swim in that river of fire?"
We don't swim in it, only the fiery serpent lives in the river of fire. ”"What kind of beast is your so-called fiery serpent?"
asked the prince curiously."
My lord, it's hard to tell you what it looks like.""
Because they're too hot to look at."
However, they are very similar to the dragons, and usually, they come out of the fire to talk to us.They are very witty, witty, and eloquent. ”Jill glanced hurriedly at Eustace.She had been quite certain that he was more repulsive than she was to the idea of going down into the crack.But when she noticed that his face had completely changed, her heart couldn't help but sink.At this moment, he does not look at all like the Eustace who used to be in the experimental school, but like a prince.For all the adventures he had had, and the time he had spent sailing with King Caspian, it was now in his mind that he reappeared."
Your Highness," he said, "if my old friend Ray Pecip were here, he would have said that if we refused to venture to Bism now, our honour would be questioned." ”"Down there," said Gorger, "I can show you what real gold, real silver, and real diamonds are." ”"Nonsense," said Gil suddenly and impolitely, "don't we know that this is already under the deepest mines?"
"Yes," said Gorg, "I've heard of those little scratches in the earth's crust called mines by you land-dwellers.But all you gather there is dead gold, dead silver, and dead gems.In our kingdom of Bism, all the gold, silver, and jewels are alive and growing.There, I can pick bunches of edible rubies for you, and I can draw a full glass of diamond juice for you.When you have tasted the living gold and silver jewels of the Bism Kingdom, you will become uninterested and uninterested in the unconscious, dead treasures of your shallow mines. ”"My father went to the end of the world," said Prince Rylian after some thought, "and it would be an inconceivable good thing if his son went to the bottom of the world." ”"If Your Highness wants to see your father while he is still alive, then I think he would have preferred to see you rather than sail," said Pudgren, "and it is time for us to set foot on the road to the excavation area." ”"No matter what people say, I'm never going down that hole."
Jill added."
Well, if you do want to go back to the land world," said Gorg, "there's a stretch of road lower than here, and, perhaps, if the flood is still rising," "Ah, let's go, let's go," Jill pleaded."
I'm afraid I'll have to leave," said the prince, with a long sigh, "but I have left half of my heart in the kingdom of Bismu. ”"Please, let's go."
Jill continued to plead."
Where's that road?"
asked Pudgren."
There's a whole road there," replied Gorgo, "and you can see the road on the other side of the crack." ”"How long do those lamps burn?"
asked Pudgren.At that moment there was a hissing sound, a scorching sound like flames roaring from the deepest part of Bism.Afterwards they wondered if it was the sound of a fiery serpent."
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry to the cliff, hurry to the cliff, hurry to the cliff," said the little goblin hurriedly, "the crack is about to close, it is going to close, it is going to close, hurry, hurry, hurry" and at the same time, with a deafening cracking and rattling, the rock moved.By the time they looked over, the crack had slowly narrowed.The goblins who came late from all directions rushed in.They didn't have time to climb down the rock, so they jumped headfirst forward, either because the heat wave at the bottom was too strong, or for some other reason, and they all floated down like fallen leaves.The floating goblins grew denser and denser, until their large black oppressive figures almost completely obscured the fiery rivers and groves of living gems."
Ladies and gentlemen, goodbye, I'm leaving."
Gorg shouted and jumped in.The few goblins who remained jumped on their heels.Now, the crack is less than the width of a creek.After a while, it was as narrow as the mailbox slot.Later, it was just a very bright, narrow line.Then, with a bang, it shook violently like a thousand-car freight train hitting a thousand-pair of buffers, and the cracks in the rock closed.The hot, maddening smell was gone.Travelers are alone in this underground world that looks even darker than before, with only the pale, dim, gloomy lights marking the direction of the road."
Now," said Pudgren, "we've been here for too long, but we might as well give it a try, and I wouldn't be surprised if the lights go out in five minutes." ”They rode their horses and trotted along the dimly lit road.But almost immediately it began to go downhill, and if they did not see the light on the other side of the valley, and they looked upwards and the light went all the way up, they would have thought that the path Gorg had told them was wrong.But at the bottom of the valley, the lights shone on the flowing water."
Hurry," cried the prince.They galloped down the hill.Five minutes later, the situation at the bottom of the valley would have become quite serious, for the tide rushed into the valley like a rapid, and it would have been difficult for the two horses to cross it if they had to swim through it.Still, the tide was only a foot or two deep, and despite the terrible rustling of the river on the horse's legs, they had safely reached the other side.Then they began a slow, tired climb up the mountain, and saw nothing in front of them except the pale lights that kept moving upwards as far as the eye could see.When they looked back, they could see that the tide had spread.All the hills in the Underworld are now islands, and only the lights on the islands are still on.The lights in the distance were disappearing one by one.It wasn't long before darkness fell everywhere except the path where they were walking by the lamp, even the lower part of the road behind them, and although not a single light had been extinguished for the time being, the lights were already shining on the water.Although they had good reasons to hurry, it was impossible for the horses to go on without rest, without stopping.They stopped, and in the silence they heard the sound of waves crashing against the water."
I want to know what the name of that old man is that time, has been washed out by the flood at this moment.""
And all the weird animals that are sleeping. ”"I don't think we've reached that height," Eustace said, "don't you remember how we went downhill to the Dark Sea, and I don't think the water has poured into the cave where the Old Man of Time is." ”"Maybe so," said Pudgren, "I'm more interested in the lights on this road, they look a little pale, don't they?"
”Jill said."
Yes," said Pudgren, "but they're greener now." ”"You're not going to say you think the lights are going out," Eustace shouted."
Well, no matter how the lights stay on, you know, you can't expect them to stay on forever," the swamp monster replied, "but don't let that make you listless, Scrobe.I'm also watching the water, and I don't think it's rising as fast as it was. ”"A little consolation, friend," said Prince Ruilian, "and if we are unable to find a way out, I beg your forgiveness, for it is all my fault, for my arrogance and whimsy have caused you to delay your chances at the entrance to the kingdom of Bism.Now, let's move on. ”For the next hour, Jill sometimes felt that Pudgren's remarks about the lamp were correct, but sometimes she thought it was merely speculation.During this time, the land was also changing.The top floor of the underworld was so close that they could see it clearly now, even in the dim light, and they could see that the two tall and solid walls of the underworld were moving closer to each other.In fact, the road led them into a steep tunnel.Along the way, they saw pickaxes, shovels, carts, and other tools that indicated that the diggers had been working here not long ago.If it's sure to get out, then it's all something to cheer about.But the thought of walking into a cave that could get narrower and narrower, and so narrow that it was almost hard to turn around, was unpleasant.Eventually, the top floor became so low that both Pudgren and the Prince's heads collided with it.Everyone dismounted, led the horses and continued walking.When you get here, the road is a little uneven, and you have to walk carefully on the road.That's why Jill noticed that the darkness was getting thicker.Now, there is no doubt about that.The faces of the others looked strange and terrifying in the dim green light.At this time, Jill suddenly screamed involuntarily.There was a lamp in front of them, and the lamp in front of them was completely extinguished.The same goes for the lamp behind them.Then they were in absolute darkness."
Be brave, friends," came Prince Ruilian's voice, "whether we live or die, Aslan will be our great master. ”"That's right, Your Highness," said Pudgren's voice, "and you must always remember that one of the benefits of being trapped here is that the funeral expenses are saved. ”Jill was silent.If you don't want other people to know how scared you are, it's a wise thing to do because your voice will debunk you."
Instead of standing here, let's move on."
Eustace said.When Jill heard his trembling voice, she knew what a prescient thing it was for her to choose to keep her mouth shut.Pudgren and Eustace stretched out their arms and walked in front for fear of bumping into something as they staggered along.Jill and the prince followed with their horses."
Hey" After a long time, Eustace's voice came, "Is it my eyes that are wrong, or is there really a light up there" Before the others could answer him, Pudgren cried out: "Stop, I've come to a dead end and it's dirt, not rock."
What did you just say, Scrobe?"
said the prince, "the lion king is above," said the prince, "and Eustace is right, there is a kind there," but it is not daylight," said Gil, "and it is only a cold blue light. ”"That being said, a little is better than nothing," said Eustace, "can we climb up there," and "the light is not directly above us," said Pudgren, "it's above us, but in this wall I have come across."
