Upon hearing this, Jacob was suddenly shocked.
"Broad Area Perception" normally wouldn't scan beyond five hundred meters. To surpass this limit, one must either combine it with self-amplification spells of the Idol School or ingest special potions.
Therefore, it is usually used for defense and counter-attack.
Wanting to use the Prophet's spell "Broad Area Perception" to perform a scan... one must have a rough idea of the target's location in advance.
In other words.
Someone must have known in advance that they would appear near here—
"—Your Majesty, it wasn't me!"
He hastily defended himself, "I remember this place was indeed a safe point... how could it..."
"I know it wasn't you."
Annan frowned and said irritably, "Keep quiet if you've caused trouble!"
He could see clearly that Jacob didn't have the red glow of a traitor on him. This meant he indeed wasn't doing this deliberately.
That left only one possibility—he had been used by someone.
...I see.
