Why it never ends

Chapter 85 The Blessed Red Flower

"The priests, I suppose," replied Hesta. "I've heard it said before that if a priest meets an unreturned heir, or wants to mint prayer gold coins for the offspring of a sinner, the priest will take Her own family shared it. The priest himself, her mother, mother's mother...these should be their names."

"Which part is your name?"

Hesta deciphered it for a while, finally found a punctuation mark, and she copied the text on paper to show Valenti, who was amazed.

"Is this the language of the Hesta people...how do you pronounce it?"

"I can't pronounce it. The names written on the gold coins deliberately violated the pronunciation rules of the Hesta people's language - because these names are called by the gods. It is said that the Hesta people don't want people's voice to pollute it, so It was done on purpose. Every Hesta has two names in his life, one given by his family and the other by his priests—the name on the gold coin."

Hursta paused, "But I don't know much about their characters... Did Miss Chiba say what this name means?"

Valenti thought for a moment, "Oh, yes...Masaki said it. If the name you wrote on it is translated, it means 'foreigner'."

Stranger...

Hesta held the gold coin in both hands. She once had a coin of similar size, but it had been lost long ago.

The back of that gold coin was also written with densely packed names. It was not made by any priest, but mother found a craftsman in Duanming Lane to make it.

Her mother had explained to her the meaning of those names. On the gold coin, Hesta's name meant "red flower blessed by the gods."

Now, praying that the gold coin was lost and recovered in such a way, Hesta didn't know how to feel for a while. At this moment, she had no joy or sorrow in her heart, but felt that a river of fate seemed to be rushing through her body.

"Like this gift?" Valenti asked in a low voice.

"Very precious." Hesta murmured, "Thank you."

Valenti looked at her and laughed, and she ran her hands through Hesta's hair.

"I don't know whom you want to come to-night, Jane. If you don't want to tell, I won't ask.

"But don't be sad, there is no news about that person today, maybe tomorrow, not tomorrow, maybe next week, even if there will never be any in the future, there will still be many people who are always concerned about you, such as Chiba, Like Liz, like me."

……

That same night, Liz was lying on her desk alone, her sobbing was so soft that almost no one could hear her.

There were two paper letters on the table, one was the base's psychological evaluation results, with stamped "combat adaptability is low" on it, and the other was from the special AHgA reconnaissance sentinel in Wulian Province, the third district Appointment instrument.

Before receiving these two letters, Liz felt that she should not be obsessed with whether she could join the front-line combat force, at least not as obsessed as Turan, but she never thought that she would really directly was appointed to the rear.

Liz knows that there will always be a shortage of combat troops for Mercury Needle in each district.It is also because of this that reserve players like Sean have not been abandoned by the base.She knew that Valenti and the others had been working hard to get Sean back on track.

But where is her right track?

Many complex emotions were entwined in her heart, and Liz couldn't tell why she was sad. When her friends expressed surprise that she was not included in the combat unit, she really felt bitter.But in all fairness, she accepted some of the reasons given by the base that "you are more suitable to participate in rear work", and she did not question the conclusion of "low combat adaptability", or even dare to think deeply about it.

"Liz, are you asleep?"

Hesta's voice suddenly came from outside the door, and Liz immediately stopped the voice. She frowned and squeezed her mouth tightly.

Hesta knocked on the door again from outside, and then there was no sound.

Just when Liz thought that Hesta should have left, she got up lightly, intending to lie back on the bed, but the door suddenly opened from the outside at this time.

The light from the living room came in through the crack of the door, and Hesta, who was holding the doorknob, was also shocked, and she explained with some stumbles: "I'm sorry... I just wanted to try, but I didn't expect the door to be really unlocked... Hey ?”

Seeing Hesta looking at her face, Liz quickly turned her back and wiped away her tears.

"What is it, Jane?"

Hesta glanced back at the door, then closed the door.

She walked to Liz's table, "Miss Valenti gave me two pieces of chocolate, I ate one and left one for you...She said you like the taste of this brand very much."

Liz lowered her head and smiled, she stretched out her hand to fiddle with the pebble-like chocolate, "I've already brushed my teeth, let's eat it tomorrow morning, thank you."

"Are you crying?"

"No."

Hesta bent down slightly, and then looked up at Liz's hidden face, "Is it crying? I heard Miss Valenti said that you are going to join Wulian in two weeks. Are you unhappy?"

"Happy."

"Then why are you crying?"

Liz turned around, walked a few steps slowly in the aisle between the table and the bed, and then suddenly sat down on the bed. She looked at Hesta and shook her head, "... just thought of something sad, Jane, I'm fine."

Hesta also fell directly on Liz's bed. She adjusted her posture and turned sideways to Liz's side, "You know, when I went to see Miss Valenti at night, she was also crying. I asked why, and she also cried." Tell me something sad - are you thinking the same thing?"

Liz laughed out loud, "How is it possible..."

"Where is Wulian?" Hesta asked suddenly.

"On the south side," Liz replied, "there seem to be a lot of wineries over there... Have you ever had wine, Jane?"

"I took a sip when I was eating with Ms. Chiba. It was too spicy and irritated my nose. I don't like it."

"……I dont like it either."

The lights were not turned on in the room, and the two girls just lay on their backs on the bed and chatted. Their voices were very soft, and every word Liz said was nasal, but this did not affect their chat.

"In another three years, when you will change jobs... What do you want to do, Jane?"

"I also want to go to Wulian," Hesta said with a sideways glance. "I just happen to find you when the time comes, and work as a scouting sentinel with you. I wonder if it's possible?"

Liz laughed again, and she shook her head, "Don't say such things, excellent mercury needles will never be willing to stay in a habitable place."

Hesta rolled over and rolled around on Liz's soft bed.

"Then I can't make excellent mercury needles."
