"This... what are they doing?" Rui's gaze grew bewildered. A bunch of Martial Masters were just lying on the ground flat in odd positions, seemingly asleep if not for the fact that their Martial Heart and Martial Mind were active. It was a truly strange sight, unlike anything he had ever seen.
"They are searching, Your Highness," Sage Kyria replied. "Simultaneously, they are also training their senses."
Rui frowned. "Searching for what?"
She turned towards him with a profoundly powerful gaze. "For the Scriptures of Terra."
Amare and Rui threw each other perplexed glances.
"The what?"
Sage Kyria's eyes grew deep.
They grew intense.
"The Scriptures of Terra are a legendary artifact containing divine Martial knowledge," her tone grew reverent. "First discovered by the Shield of Gaia a hundred years ago, it helped him reach the Transcendent Realm. It is said that anybody who reads the Scriptures will gain extraordinary and godly mastery of earth-bending. For the past hundred years..."
Her attention returned to Rui and Amare. "...We have been tirelessly searching for it."
"Wow..." Amare's eyes sparkled with curiosity and wonder. "That sounds so mysterious and thrilling!"
Rui, on the other hand, was stunned. "...Scriptures that helped the Shield of Gaia reach Transcendence? Scriptures that give you extraordinary earth-bending? I don't mean to be rude, but are you sure this is real?"
And yet, he couldn't deny the interest that had already begun growing within him. "Tell me more," his eyes lit up with hunger. "Tell me more about this so-called Scriptures of Terra."
Sage Kyria smiled slyly as she revealed her true colors, having succeeded in at least part of the mission that she was assigned to when Consul Notera had her shadowing him. "By all means," she replied. "Unfortunately, we know very little about it. The only person to have actually found it was His Transcendence. And all we have from him is the message that he gave us a hundred years ago when he first found the Scriptures of Terra and reached Transcendence with the power that it gave him. He told us that it is within the Nest of Terra, and he told us that it will give us the power that we seek. That's all."
Rui's interest only grew deeper and deeper in this matter as he grew completely immersed in it. "So, he found it, told you to find it, but doesn't want to tell you where it is?"
"I'm sure His Transcendence has fine reasons for what he told us a century ago."
"He sure is helpful, isn't he?" Rui scoffed. "I suppose you should be grateful that he specified that it's within the Nest of Terra rather than somewhere on Gaia. That would have been a nightmare of a mission. Still..."
A fire lit up in his eyes. "I wonder what's written in the Scriptures of Terra. I wonder what kind of power is contained in its depths."
He had already deduced that this was part of Consul Notera's plan. She undoubtedly wanted Rui to learn about these so-called Scriptures of Terra because she knew that he would get deeply invested in the matter. As for why she wanted this to happen?
"She thinks I can find it."
His tone betrayed a mix of irritation at being manipulated and a hint of smugness that he had seen through all their attempts at manipulating them.
Sage Kyria regarded him with a solemn expression. "We have searched for this treasure for the past hundred years, Your Highness. And we haven't gained so much as a clue of where it might be hidden. We have made no progress as to where it is."
"...Fascinating," Rui murmured faintly. "So the only information that you have gained was that it's within the Nest of Terra. Searching for it in the past hundred years has led to absolutely no progress whatsoever. That's even more fascinating."
"It is because we have made no progress whatsoever that we have decided to seek help," Sage Kyria remarked. "Consul Notera has long realized, after a century of absolutely no progress, that something needed to change. That we needed a powerful change. When you announced your voyage through human civilization in the Human Summit, she realized that you were extraordinary enough to serve as that powerful change. You, the Dawnbringer, one of the most extraordinary Martial Artists in the history of human civilization, could help us find the Scriptures of Terra."
