Phoebe was a little dumbfounded. The situation was so messy.
How could it be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them?
She asked, “What do you mean?”
Thomas explained, “If everything here is peaceful and nothing happens, it’ll be hard for us to get the sacred fire… But you’ve seen it. This place is chaotic, and the people are frightened. If we can solve the problem and make the strange mark disease disappear, think about it, won’t the tribe owe us a great favor?”
“It wouldn’t be too much to repay us with the sacred fire, right?”
This time, Phoebe understood him. She nodded.
It was true. If they could help the tribe get rid of the strange mark disease, they could easily get the sacred fire.
The problem was, could the strange mark disease be easily cured?
Phoebe asked, “So, how are you going to discover the wicked person?”
Thomas burst out laughing.
He drank some tea before favonovel.com said, “Well, first of all, I have to stress that I’m an atheist. I don’t know whether the Great Elder’s dream is true or not. Even if it’s true, I still don’t believe that burning someone can stop the spread of the disease…”
“I plan to find out the source and cause of the disease. Then, I’ll treat the strange mark disease using medical treatment.”
Only then did Phoebe come to a realization. “It’s true. The Great Elder’s dream is bewitching. I almost got carried away.”
At this time, Pisces asked, “Commander, what do you think the current situation is?”
Thomas showed favonovel.com two fingers. “There are two possibilities. One, it’s a natural disaster, two, it’s being caused by a human.”
If it was a natural disaster, the strange mark disease would have been triggered for some reason.
The medical treatment there was outdated, so they were unable to figure it out. In the end, everyone believed the Great Elder’s dream. Everyone went in the wrong direction as they sought the non-existent wicked person.
If it was a human mistake, everything would be manipulated by someone behind the scenes. The disease and rumors would be fake. Someone had purposely created the rumors just to achieve some secret purpose.
Phoebe said, “Could a person be behind all of this? In my opinion, the possibility of it being a natural disaster is higher, right? The disease broke out, and people believe in the Great Elder’s nonsense. It’s just that simple.”
Was it really that simple?
It could not be that simple.
Thomas drank some tea before favonovel.com said, “I have an opposite view. I think this is the work of humans.”
“Huh?” Phoebe and Pisces felt surprised.
How could someone do this?
From the clues they had obtained, there was no sign of anything being man-made.
Thomas explained, “Because I smell strangeness…”
Phoebe smiled. “Pfft! I thought you had some real evidence. You’re just relying on your sixth sense? You’re not being serious.”
Thomas waved in dismissal and said, “I don’t have any evidence, but there’s a clue.”
“What clue?”
“Well… The people who’ve gotten sick are the members of the tribe.”
“What?” Phoebe was stunned. “ Really? Did the waiter mention it just now?”
Thomas said, “The waiter didn’t say it, but it’s written on the notice.”
It was then that Phoebe saw a notice on the wall behind them, which described the tribe’s situation.
