Hestaxin turned the pages happily, a little clumsily. However, her expression quickly became solemn - because most of the sentences in this notebook were written in some unfamiliar languages. At a rough glance, there were about seven or eight types of writing, among which Hesta could understand There are only a few.
"Oh," Hesta suddenly saw a piece of text that she recognized, and she held up the notebook, "...she restrains everything and pursues the ideals she projects. You call such a person a great person—— "
"Just watch it," Anna interrupted, "Can you not read it aloud?"
Hesta made an OK gesture.
Skipping this paragraph, Hestad turned back several pages and finally saw a few more lines of language he recognized:
When will the sisters meet again?
Thunder, lightning, rain?
Let’s wait until the noise and dust settles,
The war has stopped and there is no winner or lose.
"I recognize this," Hesta pointed at the words with her index finger, "that opening line of some opera..."
Hesta suddenly straightened up, took out his notebook from the inner pocket of his coat, and threw it towards Anna.
The notebook fell into Anna's arms, and she reluctantly caught it.
"I also have a notebook like this," Hesta said softly, "I use it specifically to write down sentences that impress me...but it's not for taking reading notes, it's mainly for -"
"At the right time, use it to intimidate your enemies?"
"Yeah," Hesta nodded repeatedly and scratched the back of her head, "...but in the end, not a few of them were useful, and most of them had to be made up on the fly."
Anna flipped through Hesta's excerpt, and soon saw a few familiar passages in it - about anger and violence. She knew who these sentences came from without even asking.
"How many languages do you speak?" Hesta asked.
Anna thought for a moment, "...a dozen kinds?"
"That's amazing," Hesta said softly, "How long does it take you to learn a language?"
"The first few are difficult, but later on you can transfer. Some languages belong to the same language family, and you can draw parallels. Soon - what are you doing, stop."
Not far away, Hestad was reading a long poem recorded at the end of the notebook. It looked more like a lyric, with a total of six paragraphs.
At first, Hesta just turned to this place casually, and she immediately recognized that it was the writing of the Hesta tribe. After being away from her mother for many years, Hesta had long forgotten most of these wedge-like symbols. She tried her best to identify and barely read the first two paragraphs:
my name is paka
my name is paka
my name is paka
my name is paka
*
be my grandma
pregnant with my mother
I already
Came to this world
…
A white shadow flashed past, and Hesta lowered her head again. Anna's notebook had disappeared - on the other side, Mei Shijin held the notebook in her mouth and placed it in Anna's hand.
The kitten jumped into Anna's arms, looking at Hesta with its gray-blue eyes. Anna took advantage of the situation and flew Hestad's notebook back, and Hestad caught it accurately.
"...Your cat turned into a dog, right?"
"Ha," Anna put away her notebook again, "I will remember next time, if there is anything important, I must not take it out in front of you."
Hesta snorted and put away her notebook, "...stingy."
"Why did you come to me for a drink today?"
"I'm here to give you a tip, Anna." Hesta patted her heart, "Look, how... I care about your safety."
Ana raised her eyebrows slightly: "What?"
Hesta said solemnly: "Bernhard told me today that he and Gobelin made this trip just to kill you."
"Aha," Anna smiled, "This really surprises me. If you hadn't come to tell me tonight, I would still be kept in the dark."
The two people looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while, but the next moment, they laughed at the same time.
Putina had just come out from the backstage with new wine. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, "What are you talking about? You are so happy?"
Hesta knocked the empty cup on the table twice: "You missed too much."
Anna didn't explain, she leaned back in the chair comfortably, "What exactly did Bernhard tell you?"
"He said that there is a big shot in the core city who wants your life, so he wants to take advantage of Bo Shanfu's return to District 14 to deal with you quietly," Hesta whispered, "But that big shot It seems that they are particularly concerned about the way you die. For this reason, they have repeatedly ordered that the public cause of your death must not be assassination. Therefore, they decided from the beginning that someone wanted to assassinate Bo Shanfu, but accidentally killed you during the battle. The way..."
Hesta looked sideways: "Anyway, there are many people in the third area who want Bo Shanfu's life. When the ship sails to the high seas, even if a fierce armed conflict breaks out, there will be enough time to deal with the scene afterwards."
"Indeed," Anna took the wine from Putina, "this is the good thing about a large ship that crosses the ocean."
"Who are you, Anna?"
"Didn't Bernhard tell you?"
"He said he didn't know either."
"Maybe he is lying to you." Anna smiled, "Let's try again."
"Really, but I think this is the truth," Hesta held her face and looked at Anna with a smile, "And not only does he not know who you are, I'm afraid even the big shot behind him doesn't know your details either... …Um?"
"Why do you think so?"
"It's simple. If that big shot knew who you were, he wouldn't have sent this boatload of people to the high seas to be slaughtered by you.
"I guess, in the eyes of that person, you may be a very important character, so important that you must die, but at the same time you are so fragile that he will think that after you escape the imprisonment and protection of the Third District Government, , it’s easy to get rid of you.”
"Maybe you guessed it wrong," Anna whispered. "The so-called assassination of me was actually to create an opportunity to get rid of Bo Shanfu?"
"Impossible." Hesta smiled, "Miss Chiba's mission on this voyage is to protect Boshanfu's safety, and AHgAs's intervention itself is a guarantee that Boshanfu will return to District 14 alive.
"If I were 'that adult', I would only take action after Boshanfu disembarks, and would never try to find an opportunity with Mercury Needle - especially Miss Chiba, because that is not looking for an opportunity, that is looking for death.
"And you, according to Bernhard, as Boshanfu's teacher, you applied for a place to accompany you in the name of your relatives and friends, and got a ticket for the Shengming. On the surface, you seemed to have taken advantage of the security measures of your companions, but in fact But the big man was given a lot of room for maneuver - because he happened to be the person behind Rob Green, he had enough time to arrange the entire voyage.
"In other words, whether it is Rob Green who is going to the new world or Bo Shanfu who is regarded as a treasure by District 14, these people are just smoke bombs...
"You are the core of all their plots, Anna."
