Adam's pupils constricted when he heard the man's question.
"My Lord… I don't understand what you mean," he feigned ignorance.
The youth had learned from the Joker that knowledge about the Greater Universe was known only to the Mana Core Magi of Tron.
They strongly kept this information secret in order to prevent panic amongst the masses.
The knowledge that vastly superior magical civilizations exist out there in the universe could spark chaos, fear, or even hoplessness.
People might feel inferior or insignificant, panic about future invasions or distasters, or even turn against authorities in the worst case scenario.
All in all, it would cause widespread psychological and societal upheaval.
So why hide it?
To those in power, ignorance was safety.
If the masses didn't know, then they wouldn't fear what was out there.
But more importantly, they would never challenge authority!
