Looking at the two ET Magicians kneeling before him and introducing themselves,
Li Chen was completely dumbfounded and froze on the spot.
Heng Ha Two Generals?
He stared at the two ET Magicians who called themselves "Heng" and "Ha," his face full of disbelief.
"What are your names?"
Li Chen stared at them in astonishment.
"Answering Master, my name is Heng, and his is Ha."
The two ET Magicians answered with straight faces.
Now Li Chen was sure he had not misheard them.
They really were called Heng and Ha...
Interesting. Had the Heng Ha Two Generals from ancient Earth's myths been based on these two aliens, or perhaps the name of their race?
Or had these two once visited Earth and gotten their inspiration there,
then given themselves such names?
"Why are you called that?"
Li Chen had not wanted to waste time asking such irrelevant questions.
But he was genuinely curious.
So he could not help asking.
"Answering Master, we are twins. Our parents gave us these names."
"I am the eldest, called Heng. He is Old Two, called Ha."
"According to our parents, when we were born, those were the only sounds each of us could make."
The Heng Ha Two Generals answered.

Li Chen was speechless once again.
So it wasn't just Earthling parents who could be so arbitrary when naming their children.
Alien parents could be a little arbitrary too...
And judging from their answers, they probably had nothing to do with Earth.
As for Heng and Ha,
it was likely just transliteration. They were not actually connected to the Heng Ha Two Generals from the myths and legends of ancient Earth Civilization...
Perhaps.
Li Chen was not particularly interested in that question now.
He turned to Vasily and the other Hakant People.
