Arkadi grabbed Wilbur's hands, looking rather emotional. "Thank you for protecting my small town, Mister Penn. As Head Elder of Bangsai, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have as long as I know them."
Wilbur had not forgotten his goal of coming to Diseya. The Night Demon case had held off Wilbur's search for the dragon cauldron fragment back then, but now that it was solved, he figured it was time he went back to looking for the cauldron fragment.
Taking a deep breath, Wilbur said, "That's right, Elder Arkadi. I am pretty interested in Bangsai's culture and would like to know why despite Bangsai having grown Diseya to operate on par with a county-level city, the cultural foundation of Bangsai itself still remains like a village. Shouldn't Bangsai be the first place to be developed? Why hasn't anything changed?"
Bangsai was at the heart of Diseya, which was now so well-developed, but the same could not be said for Bangsai itself. That was definitely strange, and Wilbur felt like it might be related to the Dragon Cauldron piece. Diseya was now practically lined with luxurious skyscrapers, but there was a rule set in place in Bangsai that not even a single tree there was to be uprooted.
"Why did the rule come to be?"
Wilbur was rather curious, and so Arkadi told him the real reason behind things. It turned out that two hundred years ago, the leader of the Bangsai tribe had come to Diseya with his people when Diseya was merely a piece of barren land.
The tribe had been traveling for a while, and the sun was absolutely relentless. This caused them to face a water shortage, as they had not brought enough of it for their journey. On such a barren land under the scorching sun, it would take no time for one to become dehydrated. This miscalculation in water storage had caused the Bangsai tribe to have no choice but to stop in Diseya.
