Adam deeply looked at Duke Quinn, intently studying him.
He knew that the Duke was fishing for information, hoping he would slip up and make a mistake.
How did he know, one might ask?
After the recent eye transplant, Adam's visual acuity had dramatically increased, so much so that it was comparable to activating the Sphere of Resonance.
His eyes could now register faint mana fluctuations around a Magus's body. A slight instability in the flow, a momentary hitch in the circulation, these were the small signs that surfaced when someone lied or spoke with uncertainty.
Adam's visual senses had become sharp enough to perceive those minute changes. Moreover, the Lotus further enhanced his spirit energy after he had attained Magushood.
So when Tostig Quinn posed that question, Adam knew that the man was still skeptical about his allegiances.
The Duke didn't know for sure if he was an agent from the Empire, but he also didn't know if Adam could turn out to be a potential ally.
