第一千一百二十章 神话时代的残响
最新网址：m.ltxsdz.com
“没错，神话时代确实还在这片土地上延续着，”薇薇安低声说道，“地球人已经把神话扔进图书馆里，但这片土地上的人还在讲着过去的故事，可说实话，我一都不希望那个时代以这种形式延续下来：这让我感觉很压抑。”
这时候龙后加拉卓尔也走了过来，她却没有谈论这座城市的事情，而是突然说出一句有些没头没尾的话：“工作态度不错啊。”
“工作态度？”郝仁一愣，“这怎么突然扯到工作态度上了？”
“有些新手审查官总会犯些冲动冒进的错误，力量会让人忘记自己的职责，”加拉卓尔侧过头看着车窗外的风景，“横冲直撞，直达目标，所以他们往往会错过目标之外的很多东西，而这些东西往往也颇有价值。你貌似不会：你会对旅途上的一切产生好奇心，在不影响最终目的的情况下，你乐于参与到每一个文明的生活中去，观察他们，了解他们，这弥足珍贵。审查官是观察者，观察与反馈——那种直冲目标的人是看不好沿途风景的，而你的心态则正合适。”
郝仁让龙后一席话说的挺不好意思，顺便还有晕头转向：“有这么高评价呢？”
“当然，因为这正是神明需要我们的原因，”龙后微笑着，“他们让我们帮忙处理人世间的事，就是因为我们属于人世间，也能融入人世间嘛。”
郝仁哦了一声，露出若有所思的神色。
加拉卓尔微笑着看着他，并没有再继续说些什么，有些道理自己想明白的要比被人告知更加深刻。
蒸汽机车轰鸣作响，钢铁怪物拖拽着壮观的白色气柱在暮光之都上空飞驰，一片片密集而怪异的建筑群从机车下方和两侧飞快掠过。有一些高层建筑的窗户被人推开，好奇的孩子们趴在窗台上看着飞驰而过的机车，这是他们每天最高兴的时刻，而这些孩子的大人们并不太会阻止这有危险的举动。
蒸汽机车，这轰隆轰隆的噪音怪兽在城市中有着非凡的意义，它象征着城市的运转，象征着大锅炉的澎湃动力，象征着新鲜血液仍然在屏障内涌动，每一个出生在暮光之都中的市民都深知汽笛鸣响的神圣意义，当气柱从锅炉里喷涌而出的时候，一种自豪与安心便会充盈他们，这种心理导向甚至是教育的一环——年幼的孩子必须学会从蒸汽鸣响中感悟到勇气和骄傲才行。
因为在这座仅有一层稀薄屏障庇护的城市里，已经没什么东西能给人安全感了。
“城市分三个部分，”当蒸汽机车越过一座巨大的机械桥时，温德尔说道，“我们之前看到的属于外缘区，是和黑暗旷野连接的区域，顺着这条坡道一路向上就是上城区，大部分工匠和蒸汽议会都住在上城区，而在这下面，你们可以低头看看，城市那黑暗阴森的深处，那就是下城区，暮光之都最古老的部分。”
郝仁顺着温德尔的指，趴在车窗上向下看去，他的视线穿过那些钢铁梁柱和层层叠叠的房，看到了城市的最深处。暮光之都就如一座凌空堆砌起来的怪异蚁巢，较新的建筑压着较旧的建筑，依靠某种巧妙的建造规律，这看似岌岌可危的结构却稳稳当当支撑到了今天。在城市缝隙之间是深沉的黑暗，几百年甚至上千年前的城区就在那黑暗的深渊之下静静蛰伏着，缺乏变化，缺乏光彩，仿佛被时间遗忘。
但那里实际上仍然存在生机，时至今日还有大量人口居住在下城区，这座城市最古老的基石：大蒸汽炉和压力管道的一部分也被埋设在那道深渊里，庞大而锈迹斑斑的齿轮在黑暗中轰隆隆地转动，被称作“史尔特尔之心”的初代大锅炉据说也还在运行着。负责维护这些设备的人世世代代就生活在那些齿轮和管道之间，甚至几代人都未曾离开过那些迷宫般的机械舱。
他们几乎要演变为另外一个物种，一个蛰伏在黑暗中的，依靠热量和机油生存的，与管道和蒸汽阀共生的新物种，有些学者甚至认为这些世世代代维护大锅炉的人已经在长期接触“蒸汽之灵”的过程中发生了蜕变，快要变成一种被称作“德瓦尔”的生物了。
一片蒸汽从黑暗的城市深渊中冒出来，遮挡了自上而下窥探的视线，郝仁收回目光，他看到机车正慢慢靠近上城区的站台。
