Thomas smiled and said, “I’m just a wanderer, nothing special. There is a reason why I have stopped your burning of the sacred fire.”
Great Elder frowned.
What was going on?
Had someone come to cause trouble?
He had been living here all his life, and this was the first time favonovel.com ever saw someone stop the burning of the sacred fire.
The Great Elder asked calmly, “May I know the reason?”
Thomas did not answer and asked, “Great Elder, may I know the reason for executing the burning of the sacred fire?”
The Great Elder sneered. “Everyone knows the reason. The tribe has suffered misfortune. The strange mark disease keeps on spreading in the tribe, causing panic among the people…”
“I got a hint from the Celestial Being that there is an evil person in the tribe. This person must be burned with the sacred fire and executed in order to quell the wrath of the Celestial Being to put an end to the strange mark disease.”
The Great Elder changed the topic abruptly and deliberately scolded Thomas, “Are you trying to stop me from fighting against the Celestial Being and let the strange mark disease continue to spread in the tribe?”
In one sentence, Thomas had been placed on the opposite side of Celestial Being and tribesmen.
He was really cruel. However, Thomas was not a good man either.
He said indifferently, “Great Elder, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t stop you from burning the holy fire because I wanted to be an enemy of the Celestial Being. On the contrary, I am acting according to the will of the Celestial Being!”
“What?” The Great Elder was dumbfounded.
“What did you say? Act according to the will of the Celestial Being? What will? Please make it clear. ”
Without waiting for Thomas to speak, Phoebe on the side explained, “My master has profound cultivation and a noble morality. He can often travel to the heavens and talk to the Celestial Being and Buddhas…”
“Just the night before yesterday, favonovel.com met with the Celestial Being of the tribe while favonovel.com was wandering. The Celestial Being told favonovel.com that although favonovel.com was very angry that the evil person in the tribe had not been identified, favonovel.com didn’t want to see innocent people being burned to death by the sacred fire at the same time…”
“This is because favonovel.com has witnessed the deaths of too many innocent people, so favonovel.com feels pity for them… So, the Celestial Being specially asked my master to help. He taught favonovel.com the magic to cure the strange mark disease and let my master do the work to get rid of this disaster that plagued the tribe!”
When they heard this, everyone was stunned.
Was this real?
It sounded ridiculous, but no one at the scene dared to stand up to refute. After all, no one knew how this tribe with strong beliefs would decide.
Only the Great Elder knew that the man in front of favonovel.com was a quack, just like himself.
Wandering in heaven? Celestial Being?
The Great Elder had made up all this himself. He had not expected to meet Thomas, who was even more shameless than him. He could actually say such absurd things as talking to the Celestial Being and learning magic. However, the Great Elder did not dare to dismantle Thomas.
To dismantle Thomas was to dismantle himself.
He got angry and said with an unhappy expression, “Master, do you mean… The Celestial Being saw that too many innocent people in the tribe had died tragically, so favonovel.com taught you the magic to cure the strange mark disease even though the evil person had not yet been discovered?”
Thomas bowed deeply, “Exactly!”
The Great Elder wanted to say “nonsense”, but favonovel.com held back.
He said fiercely, “As the Great Elder of the tribe, the Celestial Being has entrusted me with dreams before. Why have you been trusted with such an important task instead of me this time?”
Thomas and the others already had the answer to this question.
Phoebe said disdainfully, “That’s because the cultivation of magic requires wisdom roots. Although the Great Elder is extremely talented, favonovel.com has not yet reached the level of practicing magic tricks. Only my master has the aptitude to practice magic. An able man is always busy, so the Celestial Being specifically asked my master to help him.”
Her words only angered the Great Elder.
