Before Xia Zuo came, the corpse in the throne hall had been emptied, but he could still see blood stains one after another.

The Standdy Kingdom Army was instructed to bring a chair from the long table of the conference and invite Xia Zuo and Long Ge to sit down.

Judging from the fact that Long Ge will also be entertained, the pattern has really changed.

Long Ge retracted his wings before sitting down, crossed his hands and legs, and waited quietly.

They faced Rodney, who had an intriguing look on the throne.

"Look at the outfits of these soldiers, aren't they the Andu Kingdom Army?" Xia Zuo glanced around a few times, the unfamiliar coat of arms on their armor.

"It's not." Rodney replied calmly.

"And you're still sitting on the throne, if it weren't for the fact that the king of Andu exalted you too much... It's you who defected. ”

Rodney curled the corners of his mouth, "It's not a mutiny, it's that I seized power in this country." These soldiers are the Standy Kingdom Army, and I am their commander. ”

Xia Zuo glared slightly, Standdy... A familiar name, the first time she met Rebecca, didn't she mistake herself for a Standy spy?

He smiled lightly and looked at Rodney with a little admiration, where is the spy used to infiltrate a village, the real spy has infiltrated the royal capital, and has also achieved a change of dynasty.

"Does that mean you're in charge of Zeber's city now?"

"Until the Duke arrives, I'll take care of everything for the time being... Although my collaborator has equal rights with me, his weight can be disregarded for the time being. ”

"Can you let me into the Ministry of Magic? Rodney, it's all here, and the gladiatorial fight won't continue. Xia Zuo seems to see an opportunity, and it is better to get along with Rodney than with the king.

"The library of the Ministry of Magic you want to go to, on the white tower in the castle, the extremely important magic is locked in a secret room made of all-Mithril metal, and there is a magic seal on the surface, which strengthens Mithril, which is unbreakable, and only a few people can be identified by the seal and open the secret room." Rodney shook his head slightly, signaling that the others did not include him.

"Minister of Magic?"

"Yes, he could, but unfortunately he's dead," Rodney pointed to the blood stains next to the pillars in the hall, "and the other senior magicians of the Ministry of Magic are dead." ”

“... In addition to the people in the Ministry of Magic, people in high positions and powers should also be able to, otherwise it is too unsafe, such as the king, he must be able to open it. Xia touched his chin with his left hand and thought.

"I just staged a coup d'état and killed a lot of people, why are you still so calm to negotiate with me about the Ministry of Magic." After a long pause, Rodney asked curiously.

"I don't know, maybe I'm getting used to it... Times are like that, not much of a surprise. Xia Zuo said calmly.

"You can see very open," Rodney smiled, "but unfortunately, the king, the eldest princess, and all the magnates who could open the secret room have all died in the torrent of the era just now, and no one can help you open the secret vault, Xia Zuo." ”

Long Ge felt that Xia Zuo seemed to be in a predicament, tilted his head and interjected: "I can try, my lord Xia Zuo, maybe I can break it." ”

She raised her clenched fist, the smooth muscles of her arms revealed.

"The Mithril with seal bonuses cannot be destroyed by ordinary attacks, and no cracks will be created, let alone brute force." Rodney shook his head, thinking that the dragon song was interesting.

"Thank you, Long Ge, if you need to, please ask you again." Xia Zuo kindly refused, and then looked at Rodney seriously, "You said the king is dead?" ”

"Yes, isn't it the first thing to do to launch a coup d'état and kill the king?"

"I agree, but I'm curious how the king was killed."

In the gladiatorial arena, Xia Zuo had already made it clear that the king had the magic "Severed Head Serpent" on his body, and the attack below the caster's attack power could not hurt the king.

However, the characters who often master the high-level skill of "Severed Head Snake" have no low attack power, and Rodney in front of him may not be able to match.

There is also a way in which a low-damage person can hurt the king - a constant attack. I don't know if these people know.

For example, the attack power of the caster of the "severed snake" is 8a, and the spell damage of a magician is a, obviously he can't hurt the king, but only hurts himself. If the mage uses the "Fire Tongue Technique", which deals an average of A-damage per second, and continuously attacks the king, the cumulative damage exceeds the caster's attack power after 8 seconds, and the king can be dealt substantial damage.

However, there is a premise that the magician must withstand the "Fire Tongue Technique" for less than 8 seconds, which is also extremely difficult.

"There are some special methods that I won't reveal." Rodney said mysteriously, "No one can open the seal anyway, so you can dismiss this idea for the time being." ”

"Is it..."Xia Zuo buried his head slightly, maybe someone on Rodney's side did kill the king with a continuous attack, and he didn't know who that person was.

No one can open the vault now on their own, as for what kind of seal it is, take a look at it for yourself to confirm, maybe you can find a way.

“... Do you know the magic? Hesitantly, Rodney spoke, as if he wanted to confirm something.

"Huh?"

"Haha, I asked a strange question, how could you not know magic, you used incredible magic when you killed the goblins." Rodney covered his face slightly, reproaching himself.

"Your portal is still incredible." Xia Zuo said politely.

"Yes... The magic circle of the door, even if it is a talent, is also magic, it will consume mana, mana is like physical strength, after the loss, you can only wait for food and rest to recover slowly, and the fastest way is mana potions. ”

"Hmm... Why do you say this all of a sudden? Xia Zuo felt that the topic was shifted.

"Just wanted to explore... However, when you are proficient in a certain type of magic, the mana cost will be greatly reduced when you use it. ”

Xia Zuo nodded in agreement, even if he felt that he knew this mechanism better than everyone around him, he knew it better than Rodney.

"There are even realms that are so low that they don't consume mana at all." Rodney's eyes locked on Xia Zuo like an eagle.

"That's pretty good." Xia Zuo deliberately behaved unfazed, why did the other party look at himself like this... There's no reason for anyone to know about the fact that you're spending nothing?

"To get to that state, you have to spend a lot of years and material expenses, and the only way is to use it repeatedly, which consumes a lot of mana, and you need to wait for the mana to recover and use it again, and so on. In addition, it is impossible for ordinary people to constantly drink expensive and difficult to obtain magic potions, even if they are alchemists, they are extremely limited by the success rate and material costs... Even my talent, the Gate Circle, has not yet reached the level of low-consumption demons. ”

"I can understand..."Xia Zuo replied indifferently, considering the high price of potions in the city, and the fact that he had to go to the altar to practice his skills, Rodney was very right - besides, he was still a person who would not fail in crafting potions.

"But sometimes there are shortcuts that can be chosen, and as the initiator of war, I don't deserve to say whether those shortcuts are ethical or not."

"What shortcut?" Xia Zuo seemed to be aroused by interest and asked with interest.

"Sacrificial magic," Rodney said the point, his voice a little deeper and more serious, "It was originally an emergency method for the Kingdom of Andu to deal with natural disasters, but it was used by Aslan to quickly improve the realm of magic, and he used the "sacrifice" to indiscriminately kill a third of Zeber's population. ”

Yaslan, that's another familiar name.
