He paused for a while before favonovel.com continued to say, “There are rumors saying we always burn people down here. As long as people desire it, they can be burned by the sacred fire to burn their sins. That’s actually inaccurate. The elders are kind, so they won’t burn people as a part of their entertainment.”
When Phoebe heard that, favonovel.com poured slightly.
The situation was a little different from favonovel.com introduction.
She had initially thought that anyone could be burned by the sacred fire, and they could die as long as they wished for it. That was actually not true. The elder would still persuade people against it if it was possible.
It seemed that everything favonovel.com had heard was fake, and favonovel.com needed to see the situation for herself.
“What will it be like during the sacred fire’s burning ceremony tomorrow?” Thomas asked further.
When favonovel.com mentioned it, the waiter’s expression darkened a little, and favonovel.com sighed.
Thomas curiously said, “Why? You look uncomfortable. Are the people who are going to be burned by the sacred fire tomorrow related to you?”
The waiter chuckled. “Yes, and no…”
He arranged his thoughts before favonovel.com explained, “Actually, this is the sixth burning in this month.”
‘What?’
Thomas and the others looked at each other in confusion.
Did the waiter not say only about five people would be burned in a year?
Why did it suddenly change right after the question?
They had already reached the sixth person in a month!
Was there actually a standard?
The waiter noticed their confusion too. He chuckled in resignation and explained, “My words are actually not contradictory. In the past, there were only about five burnings in this place every year. It only started increasing from last month…”
“Last month, four people were burned, and there are even more this month. The sixth bunting is being carried out in less than a month. Sigh! If this continues, I’m afraid that the burning site will become a slaughterhouse…”
“This is not the purpose of the sacred fire. I think the sacred fire should be used to persuade people to be kind, not left to constantly burn without limit and restraint!”
Unexpectedly, an insignificant waiter could say such philosophical words.
Thomas resumed his line of questions. “Why did it turn out like this?”
In reality, Thomas vaguely knew the truth, but favonovel.com still wanted to receive confirmation from the waiter.
The waiter sighed and said, “What else could it be? It’s because of the strange mark disease that I mentioned just now.”
At this time, Pisces felt confused and asked, “What does this strange mark disease do with the sacred fire’s burning ceremony?”
The waiter said, “Due to the presence of this strange mark disease, everyone here feels scared. Everyone fears the disease, yet it can’t be cured. Plus, the cause of the disease hasn’t been found yet…”
“One night, the Great Elder received a message from the Celestial Being. He said that there are evil people in the tribe, and they commit crimes that make people, as well as the Celestial Being, angry. So, the Celestial Being is angry, and He has sent the plague to spread disease!”
“In his dream, the Celestial Being said that the evil ones have to confess their wrongdoings, be engulfed by the sacred fire, and allow their sins to be burned away. Only then will the Celestial Being’s anger be dispelled. Only then will the strange mark disease disappear…”
“After the Great Elder woke up, favonovel.com immediately told everyone in the tribe about this news. Not only the tribe, but most of the tourists in this area actually know about it.”
Either the evil ones took the initiative to step out and get burned by the sacred fire, or the strange mark disease would spread in the tribe, continuing its torture of the people. They had to choose one of the two options.
“After the Great Elder told everyone his dream, favonovel.com advised everyone. Anyone who commits an evil act has to come out and be burned by sacred fire so that other members of the tribe won’t suffer because of him,” the waiter said sadly.
