1 lemma pos cefr_level coverage_rank context_sentence context_sentence_zh definition_zh
2 concert lord Noun UNKNOWN 4401 Powries and sharks worked in concert, so it was said, but apparently there were limits to such friendship. He studied the man in the distant corner, the one Tol had referred to sarcastically as "our lord protector," with new interest.
3 untangle protecting Verb Noun UNKNOWN 4402 No powrie would dare go into the water to try and untangle the netted fan with frenzied sharks so close. Ye're smart enough to see that Pony needs little protecting."

8 vow herb Noun UNKNOWN 4407 His solace came in duty, in his vow that this Dundalis and the two neighboring villages would not share the fate that had befallen his own village.

9 hostile swerved Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4408 Perhaps it was the boredom, the heat, or the tasteless provisions, but the crew grew increasingly uneasy, even hostile.

10 rational affair Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4409 Some said it was, the work of ghosts, or evil monsters of the deeper waters, but most rational, experienced sailors attributed it to fear and suspicion, to the long days of emptiness and the undeniable feeling that the sea would never end, that the ship would sail and sail until there was no more to eat and no more to drink.

Elbryan sighed wearily.
15 conical dimly Adjective Adverb UNKNOWN 4414 And beyond the masses loomed a single dark silhouette, a conical mountain tipped by a steady stream of dark smoke.

17 luxury vine Noun Plural UNKNOWN 4416 To keep them out now, with land so close and inviting - land likely covered with fruit trees and other luxuries they had not known on the open sea - was foolhardy indeed. Elbryan took the torch with him as he pushed aside the vines and entered the inner chamber.
18 mentally powerfully Adverb UNKNOWN 4417 Finally, Elbryan found that crease between breastplate and girdle, mentally marking the spot. Elbryan jammed one end of Hawkwing into the dirt and swept the staff powerfully across in front of him, left to right, deflecting the blow.

putting Noun UNKNOWN 4438 "But first, ye got to do something for me." As she finished talking, she leaned closer, putting her lips to his.

28 ballista interference Noun Singular UNKNOWN 4445 4427 The barrage intensified, more pitch, great heavy stones, and giant ballista bolts battering the ill-fated craft. The horse knew things simply, without the interference of reason that was the domain of men, elves, and the higher races.
29 reef jostle Noun Verb UNKNOWN 4446 4428 He watched helplessly; hopelessly, as the ship that had been his home for nearly eight months jolted and listed, then broke apart on the reef as still more missiles soared in.

34 fanciful corkscrew Adjective Noun UNKNOWN 4479 4433 "And the memories of fanciful musing," Juraviel added.

39 purposefully diving Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 4484 4438 The tracks were surely those of a medium-sized bear, but Elbryan felt as if he were tracking a fomorian giant or some other evil, reasoning creature, some creature purposefully bent on destruction.

40 adjusted hatchet Verb Noun UNKNOWN 4485 4439 His eyes gradually adjusted so that he could just barely make out the larger shapes in the room. The ranger dropped Hawkwing, reached behind him to his pack, and tore free his hatchet.

50 drunken unleash Adjective Verb UNKNOWN 4495 4449 She wasn't particularly afraid; she didn't think the drunken slob would even get to her before he fell off the narrow walkway, dropping the eight feet to the fortress's small courtyard. The stone; as if it were something sentient, had called to the monk on that day when he had presented it to Elbryan and Symphony, and Avelyn, who had floated down the face of a cliff, who had walked on water and unleashed tremendous fireballs, who had held the power of a thunderstorm in his puny, mortal hands, would not discount any possibilities of its God-given power.
51 slob abandoned Noun Adjective UNKNOWN 4496 4450 But he was a letch, a drooling, grabby slob, who took it personally when Jill refused his advances. Pony and Elbryan spent a long and quiet moment together, ending it wordlessly with a kiss that passed as a promise from Elbryan to the woman that she would not be abandoned, and as a promise from Pony that she and those who would leave would be ready when the moment of opportunity was upon them.
52 walkway reassure Noun Verb UNKNOWN 4497 4451 She wasn't particularly afraid; she didn't think the drunken slob would even get to her before he fell off the narrow walkway, dropping the eight feet to the fortress's small courtyard.

53 outwardly ignorance Adverb Noun UNKNOWN 4498 4452 Brother Justice hardly paid the man any heed - at least outwardly. The goblins' ignorance saved the creatures' lives that night, for death was barely an arm's length away; more important, the goblins' ignorance also saved Elbryan's plan.
54 conspiracy fro Noun UNKNOWN 4499 4453 Even worse, for him to be out here fetching her, there was likely a conspiracy inside. The sky brightened to a dull gray shortly before the dawn, another lazy snowstorm dropping scattered flakes that floated to and fro during their descent.

He put a hand on Elbryan's shoulder and gave the man a sincere, admiring look.
56 smother Verb UNKNOWN 4455 It slammed into a young tree, snapping branches and stumbling, but held its balance - stupidly, for the ground offered its only chance of smothering the flames - and ran on.
