Why it never ends

Chapter 1119 One Arrow

Kovicik didn't immediately understand the meaning of Hesta's last sentence, but he looked at the other person with awe.

"...You're going to open up new land?"

"You can say that."

"I've said it so many times, this is simply unrealistic," Stella said with a smile, "Jane, even if you come up with a sufficient plan, few people are willing to support you in this matter. No one among the rich people in District 12 likes risks, and no one can understand your beliefs - Duke! Quickly persuade our inspector, she is completely crazy to want to do such a thing -"

"How much money do you need?"

A moment of silence.

Kovicik looked at Hesta and saw her slowly turn her head... He suddenly realized that he would keep thinking about this moment for a long time to come.

A smile slowly appeared on Hesta's face.

"You want to help me?"

"...Of course," Kovicik's throat moved slightly, "Because I understand you."

Hesta looked past Kovicik and looked at Stella: "What else do you have to say now?"

"Duke, don't get carried away and talk nonsense here. If you want to buy land there and cultivate it, you must build an army. The money can't be cheap. If you think you can just sprinkle some water and give us tens of millions of robies to get rid of our inspectors, then you are wrong."

Kovicik woke up for a brief moment - tens of millions of Robbies were not enough?

"Stop comparing Kvitsik to those pedantic nobles," Hesta said with an obvious smile in his voice, "Didn't you hear what he said just now? He didn't help me because he couldn't see the risks involved, or just to show off - he joined me because he agreed with my beliefs. He 'understands' me."

Hesta's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word resonated in Kovicik's heart. His eyes suddenly became moist: "...Yes, Inspector, that's right."

"I need two hundred million," Hesta said, "in cash."

Kovicik felt his soul tremble - if there really was such a thing as a soul in the world.

"Besides," said Hesta, "you are very familiar with Mrs. Brownbaugh, aren't you?"

"...Yes, she has always been very caring towards me."

"If there is a dance party at her place soon, please invite me to join you," Hesta said. "I also want to meet this lady who has taken such good care of you."

Kovicik's face flushed instantly, and his previous worries were thrown out of the window. His voice became light and weak: "You... Have you heard any rumors recently..."

"Yes." Hesta said frankly, "I think I'd better go and verify it myself - if you dare to let me do it."

"You..." Happiness was like an unexpected arrow that hit Kovicik's heart. He opened his mouth several times, and finally just sighed, "I have no objection."

At noon that day, Elu followed Kovicik's car and left the farm. Hesta personally escorted them to the farm's exit. Kovicik was very silent along the way. He felt that the world was becoming more vivid, so vivid that it was unreal.

The wind blew past him, and he couldn't help but wonder, is the wind always blowing like this? An unknown thin vine fell from a branch by the roadside, and he was moved by it, and immediately thought of many inspiring stories of plants surviving in cracks; Hesta coughed slightly, and he immediately held his breath and pricked up his ears - perhaps this was a prelude to Hesta talking to him. "Then, see you tomorrow." Hesta said.

"To-tomorrow?"

"I will personally go and pick Elu up tomorrow," Hesta said, "He will discuss the details with you. He can fully represent my will."

The car drove away. Kovicik looked at Hesta, who was getting farther and farther away, in the rearview mirror with reluctance. Finally, he couldn't help but stick his head out and waved to her.

Hesta stood there, watching him completely disappear at the end of the road. Stella finally walked forward and stood beside Hesta.

Hesta frowned and looked at her: "...Are you taking this money too easily?"

"What's the problem?" Stella raised her eyebrows. "Without me, there would be no conversation today, don't you think so?"

……

At the construction site, Boheng had already heard from Jiahoduolei and Yunis everything that had happened in the past two days - Hesta trusted them and let them immediately participate in the big project of the farm. The twelve Kasyapas from before started to learn the third district language together with the children on the farm. It is not known how Hesta plans to deal with it yet.

Boheng walked up to the old carpenter Paulnie and said hello. They went to Shunfengkou to smoke together. He asked Paulnie who the whale man who could build a house was. Paulnie pointed him out. Boheng secretly took a photo and planned to take it back for Aji to identify.

There was one thing Hesta probably hadn't realized yet, but Boheng had already noticed it - why were the whales who came to Hesta scattered at first, but the last time there were dozens of them? It was probably because there was a leader who made a decision and brought all the people influenced by her to join him.

If it is true as Eunice and the others guessed that this old woman was once a priest in the south, then he could find a way to bring her back. These priests are extremely influential among the whale people, so such a person should not be buried in a suburban farm, but should return to the mountains with him to do something truly great.

After a while, Eunice came running over and told Boheng that she had just seen Hesta had returned and was talking to Arevalo in the study.

Bo Heng immediately put out his cigarette and walked back. Along the way, thinking about Hesta’s reaction in the morning, he hummed a song.

Hesta didn't let him wait too long. A quarter of an hour later, the two returned to Boheng's car.

"I have indeed been here for a long time," Bo Heng said, "but since you asked me to come back to see you before I leave, I will wait no matter how long it takes. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Hesta smiled and said, "Send fifty more Kasyapas to me."

Bo Heng was startled at first, then he laughed: "...Jane, I've only sent twelve people here, and you can't accommodate them here anymore. Send fifty more? Where are you going to let them sleep?"

"Of course I can make this request because I have a place for them to sleep," Hesta said, "Not only that, I can even take you there to have a look - provided you don't tell anyone and I only take you there."

Bo Heng frowned slightly.

"where to?"

"The underground base of Mercury Needle," Hesta said, "If Aji hadn't taken you away, you would be working as Mercury Needle in AHgAs like me now - just answer me, Boheng, you have seen the base of Deep Anchor, are you interested in Mercury Needle?"
