Rubey said he was not worried. But the truth was, he was very worried.
Though theoretically speaking, it was impossible for those heretics to embark on such a long and arduous journey just to make trouble for the exploration team. They would have to travel from the southern-most end, which was within the merchant party's sphere of influence, to the northern-most end. But these heretics were called heretics for a reason. One of their most important characteristics was "madness." These fellows were all one of a kind, and they were all lunatics. There was nothing worse than crazy lunatics, hot-tempered lunatics, quiet lunatics or calm lunatics… nothing.
Using the "theoretical" approach to contemplate the behavior of these crazy lunatics was certainly impossible and definitely unreliable. If lunatics could do things according to common sense, would they still be deemed crazy?
