Chapter 174
I Speculated About How the Illness was related to the Glass Sphere
That store in Ractos was also started about a month ago.
I didn’t know the precise date, but it was the same time as when this sphere was delivered to this village.
From there, they would have prepared by buying all the medicine stock from the other stores, so they would be ready to sell once the illness began to spread.
That way, they could easily make a profit.
There was no concept of prevention here. Obviously, there were no masks… If it was contagious like a cold, then it would not take long for it to spread.
As Range village was a short distance away, it had taken them longer to go and buy the medicine.
…My guess was that the neighboring count had planned this. And if this glass sphere was what caused it, then it would connect all of the dots.
“The glass sphere is the cause…in that case…but wait… Can a single sphere really do that…? In the first place, it had spread in Ractos much too quickly for it to have started here… Mr. Hannes had only just recently left the village…”
I ignored the others as I was deep in thought.
I could not understand how the sphere worked, and how the illness spread.
But then again, this was a world of magic, and so perhaps there was no hope of me understanding it…
