After hearing Kant's question, Besture did not answer immediately.

He respectfully said to Kant:

"Your Excellency, please allow me to learn more about the information."

Kant nodded, his voice a little serious:

"Yes!"

Kant knew that Besture attached great importance to information and intelligence.

Although Kant himself had already guessed and understood the information of these nobles just now, he did not specialize in analyzing intelligence after all, and in this regard, he would be slightly behind Bestur.

It was precisely for this reason that Kant asked Bestur.

Besture approached the Svadia royal knight who had first reported the situation.

With a somewhat serious face, he asked the Swadia royal knight:

"Your Excellency, may I ask you where you found the sleeping nobles, squires, warriors, knights, grand knights, etc., in the noble mansion?"

The Svadia royal knight, after thinking seriously for a while, said:

"Lord Bestul, the nobleman, we found it in his bedroom, and the squires, warriors, knights, and grand knights were also found in their resting places."

"In fact, at first we were all very surprised, thinking they were sleeping in a bed."

Besture nodded, and then said:

"So, did you find any traces of battle in the noble mansion?"

The Royal Knight of Svadia replied without hesitation:

"No, we didn't find any signs of fighting."

Besture nodded:

"Yes, knight! Thank you for your answer, which allowed me to confirm some of my conjectures. ”

Bestur came to the Einface Imperial mage who had answered Kant's question, and asked him with a serious expression:

"Respected mage, I would like to inquire, can the archmage fly?"

Besture is from the continent of Calradia, which is not the same as the continent of Pande, from which the Mage of the Einfas Empire came.

It's rare to see a mage as a power system on the continent of Calradia.

The Mage of the Einface Empire pondered for a while and said:

"This scoring faction, if it's a Shaping or Change-type archmage, they can fly. The archmages of the rest of the factions do not have the ability to fly. ”

Besture nodded knowingly, and continued to ask:

"So, the archmage you said who released the spirit confinement spell in the entire noble mansion, will he fly?"

The Einface Imperial Mage said with some hesitation:

"Spiritual imprisonment is not a spell exclusive to a certain faction, in fact, mages with strong spiritual power can cast it."

"However, since that archmage is able to develop this type of new spell specifically, then he is most likely an archmage of the illusion department. If he hadn't studied the Plastic Energy System or the Transformation System at the same time, he wouldn't have been able to fly. ”

Bestur concludes directly:

"Is it possible that it won't be able to fly?"

The Einface Imperial Mage nodded:

"It can indeed be said that the world of magic is difficult and obscure, and it is not easy to achieve an archmage in any department, even if it is achieved, it should continue to study deeply. Instead of wasting time on other factions. ”

"Therefore, the archmage of the illusion department, he may be very specialized in the illusion department."

Bestur is clear:

"In this case, it is unlikely that the archmage will fly out of the closed noble mansion."

He went on to ask:

"So, can an archmage cast a spell and then trigger it after a certain amount of time?"

"Okay, what I mean specifically is, is it possible for that archmage to cast spiritual confinement on other people, so that those who are mentally imprisoned by him will be able to carry out normal activities for a period of time and then fall into a deep sleep."

The Einface Imperial Mage nodded:

"Lord Bestur, the situation you are talking about belongs to the supermagic technique - spell delay. People who can become archmages will generally master some supermagic skills to a greater or lesser extent. ”

"Therefore, it is entirely possible that the situation you are talking about exists."

Besture pondered for a moment, then continued to ask the Einface Empire Mage:

"One last question!"

"What is the strength of the archmage? Will he be able to deal with the 300 soldiers and 30 grand knights in this noble mansion at the same time? ”

The Mage of the Einface Empire thought for a long time this time:

"If it's a summoning or plastic archmage, there are some possibilities. However, the illusion system, which is biased towards assistance and control, is difficult to deal with so many people at the same time, especially the 30 great knights, whose will is stronger and their resistance to the spells of the illusion system is even stronger. ”

Besture nodded:

"Okay, thank you for your answer, respected mage!"

Besture asked for some specific details to verify his conjecture, and then came to Kant.

"My lord, I think we can lead the army to move on!"

Kant listened to Bestur's questions and answers about the Royal Knight of Svadia and the mage of the Einfas Empire, and understood what Besture meant, and he was indeed inferior to Bestur in terms of details.

However, Bestur is completely loyal to him, as long as he can control Bestur and let him use his talents.

Like now.

"Tell me about your analysis!"

Although Kant also made the same conjecture in his heart, he still needs to listen to Bestur's opinion, and perhaps Besture thinks more about it than he does.

"My lord, according to the known clues, I judge that the people in this noble mansion were all voluntarily mentally imprisoned by the archmage, perhaps the nobleman personally sent the archmage out of the mansion, and then ordered the soldiers to close the door before returning to the bedroom and falling asleep."

Kant also had such an idea, otherwise, even if an archmage has the ability to mentally imprison so many people, but those people are not wood, as long as they resist together, then the archmage may not be able to successfully imprison anyone.

Only the people in the aristocratic mansion will take the initiative to cooperate, and this will happen.

"The analysis makes sense, but it doesn't serve as a basis for your decision to move forward or retreat."

Besture perked up and continued:

"My lord, there are only two things that can make people so obedient."

"One is the absolute crushing of strength, and the difference in power is so large that the weaker side cannot afford to resist at all.

"In this case, we ruled it out, after all, the combined strength of these nobles is quite powerful."

"The other is the absolute suppression of status, the high position has an extremely strong deterrent power for the low position, and even to the extent that the high position can dominate the fate of the low position only by words."

"The law of the jungle applies to the first, but groups with a social system of rules tend to apply more to the second. From the crushing of status, from the crushing of power. ”

Kant interface says:

"But status and power need strength to guarantee!"

Besture nodded and said:

"Yes, my lord, status and power do need strength to ensure it."

"But it doesn't necessarily need to be stronger than all the lower positions combined, it just needs to be stronger than every one of the lower positions. Behind the archmage who made these nobles cooperate almost unconditionally, there may be such an existence standing behind them. ”

"Based on my speculation, it is very likely that he is your father, Grand Duke Cameron, Duke of Lion."
