Chapter 10: Discussion and Sudden Change

When profits reach 10%, there will be those who are tempted; when profits reach 50%, there are those who are willing to take risks; when profits reach 100%, they are willing to bypass the law; when profits reach 300%, they will not even fear stepping onto the gallows.
These words could be used to describe the current situation in the rainforest.
The value of mistletoe had long exceeded 300%, but fortunately, mistletoe and oak trees were highly regarded in the culture and belief amongst the countries of West York.
Which was why these people did not destroy a tribe that deeply loved nature and believed in oak trees in front of the gods.
There was also the added benefit that an exchange of a small price was enough for the tribe to grow the mistletoe for them.
This was also the reason why Simon’s tribe could stay here for so long.
Reid’s words may have been blasphemous, but they were true.
The importance of the mistletoe which was controlled by Simon’s tribe was self-evident. The Alliance of the Secret Keepers formed by the various medical departments from the different countries in West York would definitely not allow Simon’s tribe to hoard a treasure cove to themselves without doing anything about it.
The reason why the people here had yet to voice their stance was not only because of their faith.
After all, anyone who saw a dying oak tree suddenly revive and grow into a 100 meters tall tree would probably be shocked, right?
For 99% of the people in West York who had their own firm beliefs, although the faith of Druid was few and not mainstream, they still had a strong place in the tradition of inheritance.
The strongest country in West York, the Armarica Federation, even uses oak trees as its national tree.
It was evident how widely recognized the oak tree was in its symbolism and status in the hearts of the people of West York.
“Mr Reid’s words may have been blasphemous, but they are true as well.”
Someone agreed with Reid’s words after a while.
“However, I still think it’s necessary to check if there are any changes with the mistletoe produced by the oak trees here!”
“There is no definitive conclusion as of now. We can discuss the production of mistletoe later when we have more information.”
This person’s expression was slightly serious, while the others frowned.
Mallory hesitated, finally finding an opening to join the conversation. “Claude, are you suspecting that this oak tree might have been affected by the Purple Moon?”
“Yes I am.” Crowder nodded gravely.
“Although the Purple Moon hasn’t appeared for a month and a half, we cannot ignore this possibility.”
“After all, based on the information we have, the influence that the Purple Moon has on the world is slowly increasing. As the pollution spreads, anything can happen. Facing the unknown, we need to proceed cautiously.”
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Soon after, everyone voiced their agreements.
“That’s true!”
“Yes, we have to confirm before doing anything.”
“…”
Suddenly, everyone reached a consensus.
At this moment, only Simon had a puzzled and worried look on his face.
Purple Moon?
That special moon night that could make people and animals hallucinate?
“It looks like the officials are still hiding something important from the public!”
Simon came to his own conclusion At the same time, he started to worry deeply.
Because the tribe had already held two rituals during the period when the oak tree revived.
And during the two rituals, everyone who came to the tribe had consumed the sacred medicine brewed from the mistletoe.
Clenching his fist tightly, he could feel the increase in strength within his body during the past few days.
In the end, Simon said nothing about that.
And instead changed his line of thought and said.
“Although I’m not sure what everyone is worried about, I’m sure the officials are hiding a major problem from us and the public.”
“This concerns the safety of my tribe. In that case, would you like to follow me into the sacred land to take a look, or would you like me to get someone to prepare some mistletoe for your inspection?”
Everyone present was happy to see that Simon could see their way.
“If possible, we would prefer if you could let us enter the sacred land to take a closer look at the oak tree. Of course, we will need to bring some equipment.”
Armarica’s representative Vanni Campbell said sternly.
“Of course, we won’t make it difficult for Mr Simon. The instruments we will be bringing will only be used to check for the Purple Moon’s contamination.”
“After all, I know that your grandfather is a respectable priest of the tribe.”
Vanni Campbell was a fanatical nature enthusiast and an elder of Armarica’s Druid sect.
It was also because of this that Simon had chosen her as his first target to curry up to.
“Okay, since Professor Vanni said so, I have no objections,” Simon said respectfully.
Vanni was very satisfied with Simon’s attitude towards her and turned to look at the other representatives.
“Everyone, I presume you all have no objections to my decision?”
“Since Madam Vanni has already said so, I’m sure we have no objections.”
Everyone voiced their agreements.
At the end of the day, the one who could speak the loudest was still the person from the strongest country.
As the representative of the most powerful country in West York, everyone present had to show her some form of respect.
Vanni Campbell smiled.
“Since everyone has already said so, there’s no time to lose. Let’s make our own preparations.”
“Okay.”
With that, everyone turned around and prepared to bring their instruments and gifts for the elders of the sacred land.
This entire time, Mallory’s student Anderson said nothing.
After all, he was just a person who had just taken his first steps towards the world’s top secret.
Observing more and talking less would be the best option.
Mutated oak tree, mistletoe with anti-cancer components, and the so-called pollution of the world by Purple Moon.
All this information plunged Anderson’s heart into a turmoil, and he couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Even when everyone was walking away, he was still staring blankly at the tall oak tree in the distance.
And just as he was looking at the distant oak tree, suddenly, it seemed to be glowing in his eyes?
“Am I seeing things?”
Anderson blinked and looked uncertainly at the oak tree again.
It was precisely then when the oak tree glowed even brighter.
“My god! What exactly is happening!?”
Anderson stood rooted while his teacher, Mallory, turned his head when he realized that his student hadn’t followed him back to the camp.
And it was precisely this turn of his head that he also saw the milky white light emitted by the distant oak tree.
“The gods are above!”
Mallory couldn’t help shouting in shock.
“Hm?”
Hearing the exclamation, people turned around to look back at Mallory.
Everyone was puzzled when they saw Mallory rooted to the spot. They then all looked in the direction which Mallory was looking.
At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Are you kidding?”
“What the hell? What’s wrong with our world?”
“Is this for real?”
“…”
