"Knowledge?" Liam asks, confused. The others share the same sentiment.
Theo nods.
"Maeve, you don't need to confirm or deny anything, so you won't break your oath. This is pure speculation on my part," Theo begins.
"Maeve belongs to a society whose members know about magic and teach magic to children. For what purpose, I don't know. But remember, this world barely has any mana. So how can a group of people know about magic that is supposed to have gone extinct? Where did they get that knowledge from?"
Theo pauses to take a breath.
"I believe the answer is knowledge itself. They obtained it somehow. It could be a single book, or it could be an entire library. I don't know which."
"But one thing is certain," Theo continues firmly. "They have knowledge about magic."
"It would be a good idea if we could get our hands on one of their scripts. We don't need to own it. Copying it would be enough."
Theo stops.
"You think they have access to ancient magical knowledge?" Arthur asks.
