The practice of insurance, in the eyes of the crow Palmer, was to make a deal with him, but the smug smile in the crow's heart would not be reflected in his current appearance, but in the treetops, a sly light flashed in the crow's eyes.

And Rodney felt that Xia Zuo's so-called insurance practice was nothing more than a desperate situation, and he appeared in front of him again in order to find out where the king and the eldest princess were.

"Give up, I'm not going to tell you." Rodney said as if he was a prophet, Xia Zuo obviously didn't say anything, "You should remember that I told you in the throne room that Felicia is my love... Not to mention, I'll let you threaten her to open the Mithril vault for you. ”

"That matter aside, I'll discuss something else with you." As he spoke, Xia Zuo took out a tennis ball-sized item from his bag.

It was much the same as the smoke bomb before it, and Rodney didn't pay attention to it, only that it was an item that would explode smoke and obstruct his vision.

"Discuss? Directly threaten me with that? ... Or maybe you want to talk to my corpse. ”

Seeing Xia Zuo decisively sacrifice the explosive ball that had benefited before, Rodney was a little surprised, he was so passive before, although he forced him to be imprisoned, he was unwilling, and he was almost killed by himself... said that he almost lifted himself up, but he was not able to let him get hurt at all...

Xia Zuo did not respond. The crow in the tree fluttered its wings excitedly, as a witness to the last battle, Palmer knew that the ball was Rodney's nemesis, and the goal was in sight.

"I won't reveal to you the whereabouts of the eldest princess or any of His Majesty the King!" Seeing Xia Zuo keep smiling, Rodney drew his sword and reiterated angrily, his tight skin wrinkled with rare nasolabial folds, "Moreover, for a qualified swordsman, the same move of the enemy will not work a second time. ”

Xia Zuo looked around, the terrain was spacious and flat, with only the outer walls of the castle and weak greenery.

"Well, you've noticed the surroundings too! This is not a narrow terrain like the Throne Room, and even if you create enough smoke to blind the eyes, I can teleport far away without entanglement with you in the smoke, and even teleport the ball you throw so that it doesn't affect me. ”

"You're right." Xia Zuo finally spoke, and then pulled out a rope with a loop on the surface of the ball, and the ball made a burst of crackling sound with a burning lead, and inconspicuous smoke came out of the black hole.

"Sustained Flashbang"

Xia Zuo threw the ball right at Rodney, who instantly unleashed the portal circle in an attempt to intercept it, and the exit opened over the castle's perimeter.

But unlike the last time, the ball did not hit the ground and exploded.

The thud was deafening, and almost all the dwellings far from the castle could hear it. Caused constant tinnitus to everyone present, including the crows, and a temporary loss of hearing.

But the power of the explosion did not match the sound at all, otherwise, Xia Zuo, who was close at hand, would be the first person to be injured among everyone. There was no explosion damage, but a blind, continuous flash of light.

The flash was bright, and even after rolling out of the ground for a certain distance, the small ball that illuminated the day more than ten times brighter continued to glow.

It's not smoke! Is it flash magic!? Just as the ball came into play, Rodney realized that it was different from the prop he had last touched.

The Pamel Raven was also puzzled, the flash magic was only for a while, and it would not continue to be dazzling like this; And what continues to glow is the magic of light, but it can't be so dazzling. So much so that even if someone is lucky enough to close their eyes when the ball erupts and is not deprived of vision, even if they open their eyes later, they will be pierced by the bright light - keeping their eyes closed, or opening their eyes with a white and burning pain, there is not much difference, and they will not be able to see the outside world clearly.

Palmer Crow, Rodney, and the soldiers suddenly lost their hearing and vision, and spent 1 second, 2 seconds... A nameless sense of fear strikes over me...

Those who are deprived of vision, including Xia Zuo, who only have white in his eyes, and the UI icons that are arranged at the edge of the field of vision, even if he closes his eyes.

The bottom of the HP bar shows that you have hit the debuffs "Blind" and "Tinnitus", both with a 40-second countdown - because the "Persistent Flashbang" is an enhanced version of the item compared to the "Brief Flashbang".

Blink the system menu, pull the brightness in the screen settings from 50 to 0, and in an instant, the picture is visible.

In Xia Zuo's eyes alone, everything around him was so clear, although the "blinding" buff was still there, and the white light made the colors not so bright, Xia Zuo could still see - the soldiers were nervously holding their swords, their bodies were changing to the left and right, and some were also defending indiscriminately, and even trying to swing and move around.

Rodney also maintained a defensive stance, holding his sword in both hands at his chest, unable to open the door circle if he couldn't see the environment clearly. The "tinnitus" state can't hear the sound and distinguish the position, maybe he can only rely on the "murderous perception" to meet Xia Zuo's possible next attack.

After looking back to make sure the crow in the treetops also had two debuffs on top of its head, Xia Zuo walked towards Rodney.

His ears were buzzing, and he couldn't even hear his own footsteps.

Xia Zuo opened the inventory and took out the "Flashbang" first, threw it on the ground and refilled it, extending everyone's debuff status for 40 seconds, including his own.

Then click to use the "True Pill" - reduce all buffs by one layer except for the buff of certain conditions, and the success rate is 100% for eating and 30% for throwing.

Automatically ate it in one bite, Xia Zuo's two buffs disappeared, the humming stopped, and the ambient sound could be heard, as well as the worried shouts of the soldiers.

"Where?"

"Are you alright? Can you hear me!? ”

"Quick, help me!"

The soldiers said to themselves one by one, but no one could hear it, except for Xia Zuo at the moment.

In addition, the flashbang is still emitting a dazzling light, so that the next second that the true pill takes effect, the "blinding" buff appears under Xia Zuo's HP bar again, but it has no negative effect.

When he was three steps away from Rodney, Xia Zuo took out four "True Pills" from his bag and threw them, if his luck was not too bad, Rodney's buff should be eliminated. After all, there is more than a seventy percent probability that four of them will be thrown at least one moment.

Whew-

Following the perception of killing intent, Rodney quickly unslashed his sword and slashed the four "True Pills" without any deviation.

Xia Zuo whistled in admiration.

But that didn't change the effect, and after the "True Pill" was cut, it turned into a shining phosphorus powder and spread it on Rodney's body.

"Ahem, ahem," Rodney's nose choked. The buffs on the top of the head are all reduced by one layer as Xia Zuo wants.

The "blinding" effect returned, but the "tinnitus" disappeared and Rodney was now able to regain his hearing.

"I'm this...!?" Rodney's eyes were still white, but he could hear a footstep approaching him in the environment, already close to his ears.

"Now is the time to discuss things."

Xia Zuo's voice sounded in his ears, as if he was a whisper that only he could hear.

Rodney was startled and hurriedly swung his sword.

Feeling the tremor of the sword, with a bang, obviously, this sword was blocked by Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo did not fight back.

"Stay calm, if I were going to attack you, I'd have done it a long time ago, how about hearing my proposal first?" Xia Zuo said calmly.

The two swords wrestled, and Xia Zuo got closer to Rodney.

"What do you want?" Rodney yelled.

"Shhhhhhh ”

"Palmer is alive!?" Rodney exclaimed, but lowered his voice.

"Yes, he's alive, and he's taken the king and princess you hid in the safe house."

"Whew—" Rodney inhaled in confusion.

"Don't lose too soon, although your first plan failed, your key plan also failed." Xia Zuo then said, "I let Lynch go." ”

"You!" Rodney was hit by a bolt from the blue, and he swung angrily as he wrestled with his sword in both hands.

There was a clicking sound, and his temporary iron sword broke, because Xia Zuo's sword was Valkyrie steel.

As a result, the two of them distanced themselves for a short time.

But that anger was only temporary, and realizing that it was a foregone conclusion, Rodney quickly regained his composure, "... You cut off my back road, Xia Zuo..."

"Yes, you know very well what it means for Lynch to return to the kingdom of Standy - your private release of King Charles and Princess Felicia has been revealed to the forces you assisted, and they will consider you a traitor, and you told me in the throne room that by capturing Zeber, and hiding the news that the royal family is still alive, you will exchange your credit for power and status from Standy, and then protect Felicia... Now, you've lost your promotions, you're considered a traitor, and you've lost Felicia's control. ”

Xia Zuo's words were heart-wrenching, and Rodney looked suddenly deflated, and his standing posture was no longer as straight as usual.

"The above is the premise that I summarized or manufactured, and the next thing I want to discuss with you is..."As he spoke, Xia Zuo took out the golden dagger from his bag, "Don't be discouraged yet, your lofty goal has not completely lost the opportunity to achieve it, just do what I say." ”
