Chapter 534: The Strangeness of Lionheart City

After hearing Kant’s question, Baheshtur did not immediately answer.

He respectfully said to Kant,

“Lord, please allow me to understand the information in detail.”

Kant nodded. His voice was somewhat serious, “Yes!”

Kant knew that Baheshtur placed great importance on information and intelligence.

Although Kant himself had a rough idea of the information of these noble families, he was not specialized in researching and analyzing intelligence. In this aspect, he was slightly inferior to Baheshtur.

Kant asked Baheshtur because of this consideration.

Baheshtur came before the Swadian Royal Knight who had first reported the situation.

With a serious expression, he asked the Swadian Royal Knight,

“Sir, may I ask, when you discovered the sleeping noble, attendants, warriors, knights, grand knights, and so on, what position where they in?”

The Swadian Royal Knight pondered for a while before replying,

“Lord Baheshtur, we found that noble in his bedroom, and the attendants, warriors, knights, grand knights and so on were also found in their resting places.”

“In fact, at first, we were very surprised and thought that they were sleeping on the bed.”

Baheshtur nodded and said, “Then, did you find any traces of battle in the noble’s residence?”

The Swadian Royal Knight answered without hesitation this time, “No, we didn’t find any traces of battle.”

Baheshtur nodded, “Alright, Knight! Thank you for your answer, which allowed me to confirm some of my guesses.”

Baheshtur came in front of the mage from the Enfath Empire who answered Kant’s question. He asked him with a serious expression, “Respected mage, I would like to ask, can a grand mage fly?”

Baheshtur came from the Continent of Caradia, which was different from the continent of Pendor where the mage from the Enfath Empire came from.

It was rare to see a mage’s power system in the Continent of Caradia.

The mage from the Enfath Empire pondered for a moment and said, “This has to be divided into different factions. If It’s a grand mage with evocation or transmutation abilities, they can fly. The grand mages from the other factions don’t have the ability to fly.”

Baheshtur nodded in understanding and continued to ask, “Then, the grand mage you mentioned who cast the Mind Imprisonment spell on the entire noble’s manor, does he know how to fly?”

The mage of the Enfath Empire said with some hesitation, “Mind Imprisonment is not a spell exclusive to a particular faction. In fact, a mage with strong spiritual power can cast it.”

“However, since that grand mage is able to specially develop this type of new spell, he is most likely a grand mage of the illusion element. If he doesn’t study the evocation or transmutation at the same time, he shouldn’t be able to fly.”

Baheshtur immediately came to a conclusion, “So it is possible that he cannot fly?”

The mage from the Enfath Empire nodded, “It can indeed be said that the world of magic is difficult and obscure. To be able to become a grand mage in any department is not an easy thing. Even if he has achieved it, he should continue to delve deeper into it. He should not waste his time on another department.”

“Therefore, the grand mage is very likely specializing in the illusion spell”

Baheshtur understood, “It seems that the grand mage is unlikely to fly out of the closed Noble’s mansion.”

He continued to ask, “Then, can the great mage release a spell and then trigger it at a specific time?”

“Alright, what I mean is, is it possible for the grand mage to cast Mind Imprisonment on others and make those who are cast by him fall into a deep sleep after a period of normal activities?”

The mage of the Enfath Empire nodded, “Lord Baheshtur, the situation you are talking about is a supreme magical technique — Spell Delay. Those who can become grand mages will more or less master some supreme magical techniques.”

“Therefore, the situation you are talking about is completely possible.”

Baheshtur pondered for a moment, then continued to ask the mage of the Enfath Empire,

“Last question! What is the strength of the grand mage? Can he deal with 300 soldiers and 30 grand knights in the noble’s manor alone?”

The mage of the Enfath Empire pondered for a long time this time, “If he is a summoner or a master in evocation, there is a possibility. But the illusion spell is more of a support and control element. It is difficult to deal with so many people at the same time, especially the 30 grand knights. Their will is stronger, and their resistance to the illusion element spells is stronger.”

Baheshtur nodded, “Okay, thank you for your answer, respected mage!”

Baheshtur asked for some specific details to verify his guess before he came to Kant’s side.

“Lord, I believe that we can definitely lead the army to continue moving forward!”

Kant listened to Baheshtur’s question and answer regarding the Swadian Royal Knight and the mage of the Enfath Empire. He slightly understood Baheshtur’s meaning. Regarding the ability of observing the details, he was indeed inferior to Baheshtur.

However, Baheshtur was completely loyal to him. As long as he could control Baheshtur and let him display his abilities, it would be enough.

For example, the current situation.

“Tell me your analysis!”

Although Kant had made the same guess in his heart, he still needed to listen to Baheshtur’s opinion. Perhaps Baheshtur’s consideration was more detailed than his.

“Lord, based on the known clues, I judge that the people in this noble’s manor were all voluntarily imprisoned by that grand mage. Perhaps that noble even personally sent that grand mage out of the manor and ordered the soldiers to close the door before returning to the bedroom to fall into a deep sleep.”

Kant also had this thought. Otherwise, even if a grand mage had the ability to imprison the minds of so many people, those people were not wood. As long as they resisted together, the great mage might not be able to successfully imprison any of them.

Only if the people in the noble’s manor actively cooperated would such a situation occur.

“Your analysis is very reasonable, but this cannot be used as a basis for you to decide whether we should advance or retreat.”

Baheshtur’s spirit was roused, and he continued:

“Lord, there are only two situations that can make people so obedient

“The first is absolute suppression in terms of power. The difference in power is so great that the weaker side cannot muster any thoughts of resistance. We have ruled out this situation. After all, the combined strength of these noble families is quite powerful.”

“The other one is the absolute suppression of status. High-ranking people have an extremely powerful deterrent force against low-ranking people. They can even control the fate of low-ranking people with just their words.”

“The law of the jungle applies to the first one, but groups with a social system of rules are often more suitable for the second one. The suppression from status comes from the suppression of power.”

Kant continued, “But status and power need to be guaranteed by strong strength!”

Baheshtur nodded and said, “Yes, Lord. Status and power indeed need to be guaranteed by strong strength.”

“But it doesn’t necessarily need to be higher than the combined power of all the low-level people. It only needs to be stronger than every low-level person. There may be such an existence behind the grand mage who makes these nobles cooperate almost unconditionally.”

“According to my speculation, it’s very likely that he’s your father — Cameron, Duke of Leo.”
