Free Web NovelChapter 219: Chapter 88: The Cause of Ree Shil’s Illness
"Speaking of this corruption disease..."
Arthur’s eyes flickered when he heard Ree Shil and the others mention it.
"To be honest, I am also trying to figure out what’s causing it."
"I can candidly tell you that I am part of the external staff of the Left Heart Sect."
"As I have been in this world for a long time, I was asked by them to monitor the world’s stability."
A member of the Left Heart Sect emerged just after the Gnome Mothman had been chased away.
Seeing the slightly wary expressions of the others, Arthur explained.
"I don’t want to comment on the actions of the Left Heart Sect in the Right Heart World."
"At least when it comes to protecting the Left Heart World from disruption by the Right Heart Sect, they are very committed." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"And they are paying me."
He explained that he can’t be in this world all the time, and in reality, returns to the Cube Card Metaverse quite frequently.
Maintaining a fixed anchor point and transit channel is expensive, therefore, if the Left Heart Sect is willing to cover a large portion of the cost,
Why wouldn’t he agree?
"I see."
After hearing this explanation and taking into account the other party’s actions, Ree Shil felt that it made sense.
"But, robots also associate with the Left or Right Heart Sects?"
Mossy Mushroom didn’t understand.
"Hahaha, of course, robots don’t have hearts."
"Whether they belong to the Left Heart or Right Heart is determined by the primordial world they belong to."
Arthur answered.
"So is there a way to distinguish between Left Hearted and Right Hearted people?"
Ree Shil was interested in this issue.
From what he saw, everyone looked the same.
It’s not possible to determine by feeling for a heartbeat right?
The chances of getting arrested for doing that are quite high.
And how would they identify beings without hearts, such as the Skyreach?
"About that, it’s not easy to judge."
"But I do know that there are artifacts known as the Left Heart Mirror and Right Heart Mirror in the Cube Card Metaverse."
"The Left Heart Mirror will produce a normal reflection when faced towards a Left Hearted person, that’s your left hand appears as the right hand in the reflection."
"But if it’s held in front of a Right Hearted person, it produces a mirror image, that is your left hand in the mirror remains a left hand."
"The Right Heart Mirror works in the same way."
Arthur explained.
"That sounds amazing, such a thing must be very expensive, right?"
Mossy Mushroom tilted her head in confusion.
"No, it’s not a rare item, you can buy one if you really look for it."
"But usually, all the mirrors you can buy are normal mirrors, producing a normal reflection for both Left Hearted and Right Hearted people."
Arthur explained like that.
"So Arthur, have you discovered anything in your investigations yet?"
Ree Shil was back to the point at this moment.
No matter how much they discussed it, their ultimate goal here wasn’t to delve into the workings of the Left Heart Sect or Right Heart Sect.
"Well, it’s hard to say."
"I have visited many places and conducted a thorough investigation in the past."
"While the corruption disease in each area does indeed just suddenly appear, if you look at the timeline of the initial outbreaks, you can find a pattern."
"That is, the outbreaks of the corruption disease seem to follow a specific timeline and direction."
"I believe that an organization is intentionally spreading the corruption disease."
"Considering the various characteristics of the corruption disease that clearly don’t belong to this world,"
"There’s no doubt in my mind that this is the work of the Right Heart Sect."
His words confirmed that Ree Shil’s previous conjecture was broadly correct.
The news about the Instance Mission was also brought up for discussion with Arthur.
After all, Arthur had been in the World of Insect Spirits for many years, he certainly knew this place better than them.
"To my knowledge, when the corruption disease isn’t acting up, the affected individuals appear normal."
"If a patient has an outbreak, just detain him."
"However, my observation so far is that as the time since infection increase, the frequency and duration of the disease’s outbreaks will also increase."
"If you can cooperate with the natives here to develop some potions that can relieve the symptoms of disease and decrease the frequency of outbreaks, you should be able to get a higher number of Draw Card Rewards."
"I’ve had discussions with the Spider Doctor in Tree Disk Town a few times, he indeed has some understanding in this area."
"I believe you just need to follow his mission line."
This was Arthur’s final advice.
To Ree Shil and the others, it felt like he said a lot of nothing.
They were already following the mission line, weren’t they?
Sisi returned shortly afterwards.
The two Mothmen behaved decently, honestly gathered a lot of wood, and made no attempts to escape.
Then Ree Shil and the others saw Arthur using the so-called druid spells.
As card players, they immediately saw that this was just summoning of some follower cards, no wonder Sisi couldn’t learn it.
A few Treemen followed the Mothmen heading towards Tree Disk Town.
Arthur, on the other hand, stated that he still had to go and plant trees, so he bid them farewell.
After some discussion, Ree Shil and the others decided to stay in the wooden cottage for the night and set off again when it was light.
Perhaps due to the hostage situation earlier, Sisi seemed very tired.
So she quickly fell asleep in a corner of the cabin, leaving a chance for Ree, Mushroom and Green to discuss things.
"According to me, we should just keep following the mission line until we can complete the ’10 card draws’."
