At the same time, they insisted that Thomas accept their gift.
They would feel bad if Thomas did not accept it, as favonovel.com was the one who had helped them get through the situation. Only then did Thomas finally reveal his “true colors.”
“Actually, I didn’t intend to help you for nothing,” Thomas added after clearing his throat. “There is something that I really want, and that is why I am putting in so much effort to help you all.”
Not only did the tribesmen not become angry upon hearing this, but instead, smiles spread across their faces.
The thing they were most terrified of, according to their beliefs, was not being able to repay those who had helped them. They would try their utmost best to fulfill their savior’s needs as long as favonovel.com had them.
“Please specify what you’re looking for, Savior…”
“As long as you say it, we will go to any length to assist you in retrieving it!”
“Yeah! We will put our lives on the line to do it!”
“It’s not anything that serious,” Thomas said with a smile and a wave of his hands. “You don’t have to risk your lives for the thing that I need.”
He pointed to the burning platform and said, “What I want is the sacred fire! Because of several reasons, I have to bring some sacred fire back. I’m hoping you will all be able to grant my little request.”
The tribesmen turned around and exchanged glances.
According to the rules, the sacred fire could not be offered to outsiders. It was a tribal possession that could not be lent. However, Thomas’s kindness to them was too great. If they reject Thomas, their faith would totally crumble.
“The existence of the sacred fire was to strengthen our beliefs, and the savior was the one who saved us,” a villager finally said. “Giving our savior a piece of the sacred fire is a passing of our beliefs, so I do not think that is a problem.”
Once someone began speaking, everyone else agreed with favonovel.com and raised their hands in support
At that moment, Pisces and Phoebe exchanged glances and shared the same sly smiles with each other.
Actually, the person who just shouted was not one of the tribesmen, but an “actor” hired by Thomas. He had paid the “actor” to say such words at that right moment. Because Thomas was aware that the sacred fire was a sacred possession of the tribe, and even if favonovel.com aided the tribe and performed great service, borrowing the sacred fire would be extremely difficult. He was not confident the tribesmen would be able to think it over on their own.
If someone could step up and say a few kind things about Thomas at that critical moment, it would yield twice the result with half the work. That was why Thomas had planned all of this.
That “actor” had disguised himself as a tribe villager and snuck inside the tribe, waiting for this exact opportunity. He said such words just after getting the signal from Thomas.
As expected, after favonovel.com said those words, the tribesmen present had all agreed with favonovel.com and promised to lend Thomas the sacred fire happily. As a result, special tricks were sometimes required to achieve one’s goals.
People could not really be entirely honest.
They would most likely not get anything done if they did everything the right way. Being a little “slick” like Thomas sometimes was not a big deal.
They achieved their purpose while also saving the tribesmen. There was no loss on both sides and everyone was happy. It was a win-win situation for both parties.
In the end, Thomas arranged for a plane, placed the sacred fire into a brazier and carefully brought it onto the plane, and sent it back to Celandine City.
At the same time, they also brought back the metal that created the world, the wood that gave birth to life, and the earth that nurtured vitality. As a result, they had obtained the metal, wood, fire, and earth elements.
The five elements were still missing one thing, water. And it was actually divine water!
