Her words were ominous but very true.
Nonetheless, the lessons continued as Rui made judicial use of the expertise of soone who had dedicated her entire life to the study of the Beast Domain.
Even gaining a foundational understanding of the Beast Domain was eye-opening to Rui. Before, what was a mystery born from ignorance was now a mystery born from understanding. The Beast Domain was nothing short of a domain of fantasies, mysteries, and tribulations.
From Lost Cities to dungeons, to exotic topographies and regions, even worlds within worlds. All manner of nonsense consistently unfolded within the depths of the Beast Domain.
Things that didn't make sense.
At another ti, Rui would have loved to spend more ti learning about them, but alas, he didn't have ti.
The Beggar Sage and the guildmaster of the Adventurer's Guild had heeded his call for a eting.
Unfortunately, the Transcendent Emperor appeared to have not even bothered to deign to issue a response.
Rui furrowed his eyebrows. "Not even a verbal response?"
"No sir…" The lead ambassador of the delegation that Rui had sent to the Britannian Emperor. "Nothing."
Rui heaved a sigh. "Try one last ti; if nothing, then thank them for the hospitality, complete the formalities, and return to the Kandrian Empire."
He didn't expect a second try to be any different. It appeared that the Martial Transcendent hadn't even deed Rui worthy of his acknowledgnt.
Perhaps it was because Rui had attempted to use his royal status rather than purely on the rit of his Martial Art.
The Britannian Empire was a Martialocracy. It was a system that only respected Martial power. Rui, being a Martial Senior, was so far beneath the Transcendent Emperor that it wasn't even funny.
'I can cross him out as a potential ans to reach the Divine Doctor,' Rui shook his head. 'Ti to focus on the two positive outcos.'
The Beggar Sage of the Beggar's Sect seed receptive to Rui's attempts to reach him. It almost made Rui feel nervous to et him. This was an extraordinarily powerful man at the center of a web of information. He possessed an enormous amount of power, enough to make even Rui pause warily.
Even though the Beggar's Sect could not match the Kandrian Empire's net military and Martial power, it had massively infiltrated the Kandrian Empire at countless levels. No organization was free from the Beggar's Sect.
If the Beggar Sage wanted, he could inflict untold damage upon the Kandrian Empire.
Of course, if he did that, he would make himself the Kandrian Empire's enemy. That was sothing that not even he could afford to get away with unless he had many Martial Sages protecting him always.
Reaching the Beggar Sage had been easy. The Beggar's Sect was everywhere; Rui simply dispatched a formal delegation to the Lambargeau and Xavier Legal Services in the town of Hajin.
Very rapidly, the ssage shot through the web of information of the Beggar's Sect that spread through the entire continent, reaching the ears of the man in charge.
According to the Lambargeau and Xavier Legal Services, the man at the top had agreed instantly.
"However, he is only willing to speak to you remotely, Your Highness," the lead ambassador sitting before Rui explained. "He is not willing to entertain a physical eting under any circumstances."
Rui expected that. "That's fine. Arrange a eting as soon as possible."
"The Guildmaster of the Adventurer's Guild is enthusiastic about speaking to you and is pleased to receive your outreach," his third lead ambassador replied, handing Rui a written missive from the guild master himself.
"Hmmm…" Rui narrowed his eyes as he read through it.
The Guildmaster of the Adventurer's Guild was known to be a highly competent and distinguished administrator and manager appointed by the Veritable Venator himself. This man also had access to all the information of the Adventurer's Guild. The real-ti accuracy and precision of his understanding of the Beast Domain undoubtedly exceeded that of even the Beggar's Sage.
It made sense that the guildmaster of the Adventurer's Guild was eager to cater to Rui. The Adventurer Guild always needed to maintain strong diplomatic ties with nations and states of human civilization.
It would be difficult to continue its stated goal to explore and understand the Beast Domain to aid humanity with and against the Beast Domain if it made too many enemies within humanity.
The Kandrian Empire, while furthest away from the Beast Domain, was still a powerhouse of East Panama. One in the position of the guildmaster of the Adventurer's Guild did not ignore its de facto heir to the throne.
"Inform the guildmaster that I would be happy to visit him," Rui replied.
This worked perfectly in Rui's favor.
At so point, before departing for the Beast Domain, he would need to switch with Master Reina and sneak away unnoticed.
It was almost impossible to do in the Kandrian Empire.
However, the invitation by the guildmaster of the Adventurer's Guild gave him the opportunity to leave the Kandrian Empire officially. After eting with the guildmaster and hearing what he needed to hear, he would switch out with Master Reina and then head out for the Beast Domain.
Then, Master Reina would return to the Kandrian Empire as Rui.
She didn't need to do anything significant as Rui when she returned. The campaign was done, and the Kandrian Throne War effectively ca to an end. She just needed to ensure that nobody caught wind of the fact that he was gone.
His eyes narrowed as he plotted tilines for the plan he had just conceived. He needed to ensure that nothing went wrong while coordinating with Master Reina to ensure the timing was just perfect.
"Arrange for the eting with the Beggar Sage first," Rui replied. "I need to et him before I et with the guild master."
Using the information about the Divine Doctor that the Beggar Sage might give him in conjugation with the guildmaster's depth of real-ti knowledge with the Beast Domain would be best at finding a good initial basis begin his journey to find the Divine Doctor.
