在士兵威利的带领下,一行人沿着丰饶之路和王国大道出发,前往那座被称作“壁炉城”的家族封地。他们脚下的道路都是原本避难所城市里的街道和公路,但年久失修已经让这些道路不复以往的光鲜,而且变得非常难走。破碎的水泥路面翻卷起来,人造大地暴露在外,坑坑洼洼的道路似乎从未有人修缮过,走在上面深一脚浅一脚,简直和荒野小径没什么区别。南宫五月在这样的路面上走着颇为费劲,她甚至想干脆变成水蛇形态爬着走是不是会轻松点,但想到薇薇安只不过放了点冰块就把当地人吓的屁滚尿流,她还是压下了砰一下子变出三米多尾巴的冲动。只是抱怨仍然是免不了的:“话说你们这儿的路都是这么难走啊?”„Very difficult to walk?”Willielowers the headto have a look at the road surface, „Oh, trulycannot compare the grandroad in hightowerkingdom, after allherewill be only the remote place, the ironcity-state and hightowerkingdomwill not send peopleto reorganize the path in thisplace.”
“很难走?”威利低头看看路面,“哦,确实比不上高塔王国的壮丽之路,毕竟这里只是穷乡僻壤,铁城邦和高塔王国都不会派人来整理这种地方的道路。”„Whyyou two...... can the countrygo to war? Whatbitter hatredhas?”Hao Renaskedirritably.
“你们两个……国家为什么要打仗?有什么深仇大恨?”郝仁别扭地问道。Willieblinks: „Why? The cold wintermustapproach, mustlight the end of the world the flame, in the battlefield the soul of person of dyingwas the firewood of flame. Fourbigkingdoms are not always becausehatesto hit. Ithought that thisshouldbe the general knowledge.”
威利眨眨眼:“为什么?寒冬就要来临,必须点燃世界尽头的火焰,战场上死去之人的灵魂就是火焰的薪柴。四大王国从来都不是因为仇恨才打起来的。我觉得这应该是常识。”Everyonelook at each other in blank dismay, Vivianbrowslightlywrinkle: „Were youalsodivided into...... fourbigkingdoms?”
所有人面面相觑,薇薇安眉头微皱:“你们还分成了……四大王国?”„Really are youfrom the cold winterworld?”Willieswallowed a saliva, „everyoneshouldknow that hightowerkingdom, ironcity-state, Liberty City, crowd of starforts, thisis the fourkingdoms of thisworld.”
“你们难道真是从寒冬世界来的?”威利咽了口口水,“人人都应该知道高塔王国,铁城邦,自由城,还有群星堡,这是这个世界的四个王国。”Hao Renheardintheseback of the bodyto be full of the strangefeeling. Hefeelsthissomewhatincrediblein a starship, inrefuge sheltermetropolis that inancestorsconstruct, territory and influencewere divided. Actuallybecomes the scatteredsmallcity-stateHecun Townsettlement, the paststreetturned intovarioustypes„city” between transportationartery. Buildingsturned into the blockhouse and market town, the factoryopen areaturned into„wilderness”afterexperiencedemolitioncleaning upand„wilderness”, the refuge shelterchanged beyond all recognition, a primitivesocietygrewstrangelyon the ruins of high-levelcivilization, moreoverthisruinsweresonarrow and small.郝仁听到这些之后心中充满了怪异的感觉。他觉得这有些荒诞在一艘星舰内,在一座先人建造的避难所都市中,领土和势力被重新划分。竟然成为了一个个零散的小城邦和村镇聚落,昔日的街道变成各种“城市”之间的交通动脉。一座座大楼变成碉堡和集镇,工厂空地在经历拆除清理之后变成了“旷野”和“荒原”,避难所面目全非,一个原始的社会在高级文明的废墟上怪异地生长起来而且这个废墟还是如此的狭小。All theselook like the distortionweirddreamland.
这一切就像是场扭曲怪诞的梦境般。Helooks upto the sky, cansee the closedspaceoppositecitylandfromhere, hewantsto ask how Willieregardstothisworldsostrangestructure, butis quickheto realizeoneselfcannot askanything: The presentyoung peoplewere bornhere, heregrows.

The steelprotectsoutside the shieldice-coldspaceto Willieismeaningless.
他抬头看向上空,从这里能看到闭合空间对面的城市大地,他很想问问威利对这个世界如此奇怪的结构是如何看待的,但很快他就意识到自己问不出什么:眼前的年轻人在这里出生,在这里成长。在这里接受了从幼年到成年的所有教育,他心目中的世界就应当是这个样子,如果这艘船里再无人知道“方舟”的概念,恐怕生存在这里的人会把整个世界都当成一个巨大的鸡蛋壳。钢铁护盾外面的冰冷空间对威利而言是毫无意义的。Willieall the wayseemsa littletrembling, hewould rather nottake a walkonthismain road, particularlyafteroneselfalliesretreat, follows, inHao Ren such a crowdof unknown origin, moreoverunderstood„witchcraft”side the personmakeshimlack the security senseseriously. Butthisyoungsoldierhas no alternative, hemustguideto the strangerfearful and apprehensive, and can the roadsideclash the ambushers in ironcity-stateorLiberty Citymomentarily.
威利一路上都显得有点战战兢兢,他很不情愿在这条大道上走动,尤其是在自己的战友们都溃逃之后,跟在郝仁这样一群来历不明而且懂得“巫术”的人身边让他严重缺乏安全感。但这个年轻士兵别无选择,他还是要胆战心惊地给异乡人带路,并且随时警惕着路边会不会冲出来铁城邦或者自由城的伏兵们。Veryhas been but longonthisroad, Hao Renhad not seen that others appear. Hea littlesuspectedwords that Williespoke: „Yousaid that thisis a verydangerousroad? HowIhad not noticed that anybodydoes pass throughfromhere?”
可是一直在这条路上走了很久,郝仁也没有看到其他人出现。他不禁有点怀疑威利说的话:“你说这是一条很危险的路?我怎么没看到任何人从这儿经过?”Willieis rubbing hands, tightenstightenedoneselfsleeve cuff, nowweathergloomy and cold. Lethimsomewhattremble: „Ido not know that...... ordinaryhereshouldhave the soldierto pass, at leastalsohas the merchants between city-statesto pass through......”
威利搓着手,紧了紧自己的袖口,现在天气阴冷。让他有些发抖:“我也不知道……平常这里应该会有士兵通过,至少也有城邦之间的商人们通行……”Heis sayingwhilelooks upto the sky, in the ship the gloomylights of variousmetropolisplaceslike the fluttering fireflies in darknesssparkleto shine, probablywas full of the strangecavern of fireflythisclosed roomembellishes, in the young peoplelightbrowneyeballis somewhat anxious: „For tenyearsthisworldbecomes worse and worse, how manyunusualthingsIinnumerablehave met, perhaps the patrolsoldierstoday of ironcity-stateandLiberty Citywas loafexactly?”
他一边说着一边抬头看向天空,舰内都市各处的暗淡灯光就像黑暗中的流萤一样闪闪发亮,将这个封闭空间点缀的像是停满了萤火虫的怪异洞窟,年轻人浅褐色的眼珠中有些不安:“十年来这个世界每况愈下,我已经数不清自己遇上多少次不寻常的事情了,或许铁城邦和自由城的巡逻兵们今天恰好都偷懒了?”„Becoming worse and worse?”Hao Renaskedonecuriously.
“每况愈下?”郝仁好奇地问了一声。Willieopens mouth, justwantsto sayanything, however a strangelow and deepsoundbrokehimsuddenly.
威利张了张嘴,刚想说点什么,然而一阵怪异低沉的声响突然打断了他。Thissoundconveysfrom the undergrounddeep place. Soundslooks like the low and drawn outfalling tone that sometype of giantequipmentgraduallystopsrevolving, itdisseminatesalong the land. Althoughis notveryloud and clear, actually as ifentirespaceshakes. Butat the same timeHao Renfeltownbodyonelight. Onetypesoonwill takeoff the feeling of flutteringto transmitfrom the under foot. Williecomplexionchangesinstantaneously, hescreamedpanic-stricken: „Everyonedo not moveisascends to heavenascending to heavenphenomenon”
这阵声音是从地下深处传来。听上去就像是某种巨大的设备逐渐停止运转的低缓降调,它沿着大地传播出去。尽管不是很洪亮,却似乎整个空间都震荡起来。而与此同时郝仁则觉得自己身子一轻。一种即将离地飘去的感觉从脚下传来。威利脸色瞬间大变,他惊恐地尖叫起来:“大家不要动是升天升天现象”AlmostwhileWillievoicedrops, the peoplefelt that the respectivebodyputsall of a suddencompletelylightly: The artificial gravity in refuge sheltervanished.
几乎在威利话音落下的同时,众人感觉各自的身体一下子完全放轻:避难所里的人工重力消失了。Hao Rensaw that a red lightfliesrapidlytowardanotherendfrom the end of closed room, isanother, seems likesomewarninglight, butWilliestares the frightenedeyeto fix the eyes onthatlight, silentlynumber: „One...... two...... three...... threemeteorswere good, will not continue...... everyonedo not moveevidentlyveryfor a long timeespeciallydo not jump”郝仁看到一股红光从封闭空间的一端向着另一端急速飞去,紧接着就是另外一道,看上去像是某种报警灯光,而威利则瞪着恐惧的眼睛紧盯着那灯光,默默记着数:“一……二……三……三道流星太好了,看样子不会持续很久……大家千万不要动尤其不要跳起来”At this time the artificial gravityhad completely vanished, Hao Renthey, althoughstill„treadonnedland”, but the bodyhas in fact been atfloats the dummy status, but the shoe solealsocontacted the groundslightly. Willieties tight the bodyto movedoes not dareto move, a smallmovementwill for fear that make itselftakeoff: Thiswill makehimfly the skyuncontrolled, even the one breathfliesanother side of the land. Hao Renthenunderstoodquickly the frightenedreason of thisyoung people, heis trying the anxiety of alleviatingWillie: „Promptness that verydo not worry, do not worry, youreminded, will no oneflythissituationto happen frequently?”
这时候人工重力已经完全消失,郝仁他们虽然仍“脚踏大地”,但实际上身体已经处于浮空状态,只是鞋底还微微接触着地面而已。威利紧绷着身体一动不敢动,生怕一个微小的动作就会让自己离地而起:这会让他不受控制地飞上天空,甚至一口气飞到大地另一侧。郝仁很快便理解了这个年轻人的恐惧原因,他试着缓解威利的紧张:“别担心,别担心,你提醒的很及时,没有人会飞出去这种情况经常发生么?”„No, takesseveralmonthsto happen onetime, butit is saidbeforeIwas born, the frequency that ithasis lower than the present,”Williedeeplyinspires, hetoHao Ren„ignorant”could not have attended tocuriously, at this timesomepeoplecanspeaktohimthenmakehimrelaxmuch, „cold winterwill soon approach, the heart of thisworldis freezingslowly, the landis also incapable offixingusin the surfaceagain...... mygrandmothertellsme. Howeverso long ascanlightancestorHongfurnace, allwill restoreas usual, this is also the grandmothertellsme.”
“不,要几个月才发生一次,但据说在我出生之前,它发生的频率比现在还低,”威利深吸一口气,他对郝仁的“无知”已经顾不上好奇了,这时候有人能跟他说话便让他放松不少,“寒冬即将来临,这个世界的心脏正慢慢冻结,大地也无力再把我们固定在地表……我的祖母告诉我的。不过只要能重新点燃先祖洪炉,一切又会恢复如常,这也是祖母告诉我的。”Hao Renis perfunctoryoneat will, looked uptheseto pass through the entirespacegiantpipeline and alloybridgesilently, thesethingsurfacesare having the lightto walk randomly, but before theselightswere, has not appeared. Thisperhapsis some automaticmaintainable system of arkgreatship, thissystemhas problemsobviously, butitis also barely managing to maintain a feeble existence.郝仁随意敷衍一声,默默抬头看着那些贯穿了整个空间的巨大管道和合金桥梁,那些东西表面正有灯光游走,而那些灯光是之前没有出现的。这恐怕是方舟巨舰的某种自动维护系统,这个系统显然出了问题,但它还苟延残喘着。
The artificial gravityvanished for about an hour, in this periodWillie the handaccording to the chest, has muttered seemed prayingtosomegods. Finallythisunendurableonehourpassed byfinally, Hao Renhears another differentlow and deepsoundto transmitfrom the landdeep place, whenthissoundsubsidesgradually, hisbodysinks, understands the conscientiousfeelingagain.
人工重力消失了将近一个小时,期间威利一直把手按在胸口,喃喃自语着仿佛在对某个神明祈祷。最终这难熬的一个小时终于过去了,郝仁听到另一种不同的低沉声音从大地深处传来,当这阵声音渐渐平息下去的时候,他的身子一沉,再度体会到脚踏实地的感觉。Williefootonesoftalmostfalls down, hestandsreluctantly, shows an awkwardsmiletoHao Ren: „Youdid not fearprobablycompletelyascends to heaven.”
威利脚一软差点倒在地上,他勉强站起来,对郝仁露出一个尴尬的笑容:“你们好像完全不怕升天。”„So long asdoes not fly, will not fall.”Hao Renspoke thoughtlesslyto say.
“只要不飞上去,就不会摔下来。”郝仁随口说道。Williecomplexionis gloomy: „Ibestfriendhad also said that buthediedinlandanotherwindGuchengsquarefinally.”
威利脸色阴暗:“我最好的朋友曾经也这么说过但最后他死在了大地另一头的风谷城广场上。”Heis sayingwhileraised the head, looked that hangs upside down the urban architecture that totop of the headthese: „Thatislongascending to heaven, continuedfully for one day and one night, pitifulBorken, hedid not extend a legcarefully, thenIlook that helplesslyhesoarsfrom the land, rapidlyhigh, higher......

When mother of landrestores the vigor, Borkenfellon another head of the world, severaldayslater the feudal lords in windGuchengsent peopleto deliverBorkenwith a bigbox.”To be continued.
他一边说着一边抬头,看向头顶那些倒悬的城市建筑:“那是一次漫长的升天,整整持续了一天一夜,可怜的勃肯,他只是不小心伸了一下腿,然后我就眼睁睁地看着他从大地上腾空而起,越飞越高,越飞越高……那时候我还不懂得从流星中判断升天现象的持续时间,我以为一切很快就会结束,但却眼睁睁看着他变成了天上的一个小黑点,那时候他的妹妹就在我旁边,可怜的姑娘……她的哥哥甚至一直越过了天地轴线。当大地之母重新恢复活力的时候,勃肯落在了世界的另一头,直到几天后风谷城的领主才派人用一个大盒子把勃肯送回来。”未完待续。
