Ezreal has no way to explain what "stasis" is to this group of people who have never been exposed to magic. Instead of explaining these magic effects, it is better to tell Dia clearly whether Sun Shangxiang is in danger.

Regardless of whether these people listened carefully or not, it was also very difficult for Ezreal to tell these people how to understand magic and understand time.

But the reason why Dia is so anxious is very clear. He is worried about Sun Shangxiang's safety.

No matter how much Ezreal said or how detailed he was, there was only one result he wanted to explain in the end - Sun Shangxiang was safe.

"I'm going to find your Majesty."

Dia understood what Ezreal meant. Sun Shangxiang was not in danger, but to get Sun Shangxiang out of this state, Emperor Sima Yi needed to take action.

At this time, he, a derelict guard, should naturally seek help from Emperor Sima Yi.

"Is Miss Sun really okay?"

After Dia left, Kevin asked uneasily. In any case, Sun Shangxiang would try to untie the knot and fall into this state because of his "force". He didn't want anything to happen to Sun Shangxiang.

But something happened to Sun Shangxiang, and he also had unavoidable responsibility.

"Of course, this is just a stagnation effect. Normally, it will return to normal as soon as the time is over."

Ezreal looked through the Zhonya hourglasses in his memory and found that almost all Zhonya hourglasses have a use time, and the use time is not very long.

Because over time, if you are forced to use this stagnation effect to defend against attacks or avoid fatally wounded enemies, that area will be sealed. It is best to create a killing array, which will wear you to death within a matter of time.

Unless you want to use the stasis effect to shrink to the end of the world.

"I can rest assured that."

It’s not like Kevin doesn’t know Sun Shangxiang’s identity, nor does he know that Sun Shangxiang’s brother controls a military spirit army. Even if he has made great contributions to the New Kingdom, is his contribution comparable to a military spirit army?

If he really let Sun Shangxiang die here, he felt that he could commit suicide here first to apologize. Otherwise, he couldn't bear to let the people of the New Jin Kingdom be killed by a military spirit army because of him.

If Emperor Sima Yi handed him over, it would not only damage the emperor's prestige, but also cause Kevin himself to suffer unbearable torture. He killed his sister. Will Sun Shangxiang's brother simply kill Kevin?

On the other side, Dia walked into the carriage and hurriedly knelt down in front of Valliard.

"Please, Your Majesty, please save my young lady."

"Sun Shangxiang? What happened?"

Balliard lifted Anne who was sitting on his lap, put it aside, and then asked Dia about the details of the incident. How long had he been in before Sun Shangxiang caused a big mess?

It seems that there are no enemies around here, at least not suddenly in such a short period of time. So, it seems that the only person outside who can threaten Sun Shangxiang's safety is Ezreal? Isn't it because he wants to cook the rice before it is cooked?

Let's eat? Although Ezreal is a scumbag, he doesn't seem to be that scumbag yet.

"When the lady was testing those things, she found the artifact, but was turned into a golden man by the artifact."

Dia explained the matter as concisely as possible, and Ezreal said Sun Shang

The incense is not life-threatening, but will this "not life-threatening" be temporary?

Every minute and second he spends now may be the critical time that makes Sun Shangxiang lose the chance of rescue.

Although he is a junior general under brother Sun Shangxiang, that military spirit army is actually the Sun family's family soldier. While he is the general of the army, he is also a servant of the Sun family.

Even though the Sun family did not treat these generals as their slaves, Sun Shangxiang often called him uncle, but no matter what, he still had to call Sun Shangxiang "Miss" in front of outsiders, and he could not let others look down upon the Sun family.

"Became a golden man? That's okay. You'll be able to change back after a while. No need for me to do anything."

Balliard knew that Sun Shangxiang had really discovered the artifact-Zhonya's hourglass, which meant that they would soon be able to explore the isolation laboratory. It also meant that Anne, who had not finished watching this episode,

I can no longer watch cartoons,

"Come on Annie, it's time to go out."

"No! Let go—let go—"

Annie was showing her temper, but when Balliard casually took out a video player freshly baked from the Forging System and switched it to the Star Guardian interface and showed it to Annie, Annie stopped making a fuss.

Of course, with her attention focused on the cartoon, Anne had no intention of talking to Balliard.

When Balliard came to Sun Shangxiang, he looked at it several times and spoke with a slight hesitation,

"Ize, did she become like this because of this rope?"

Zhonya's hourglass, even if it wasn't in the shape of an hourglass, should still look like a clock in Balliard's eyes. If that didn't work, Balliard wouldn't be able to accept a compass or something like that.

After all, after identifying the direction, you can rely on the direction and the sun to tell the time.

This rope is Zhonya's hourglass or something. It's hard for Balliard to accept it.

"That's true. When she tried to untie the knot, she triggered the stasis effect. Whether we want to believe it or not, the rope is indeed Zhonya's hourglass."

Ezreal said that he was also surprised, but there was really nothing he could do about it.

"The rope...let me think about it..."

Balliard began to think about things related to the rope. He was not very willing to believe that the rope was Zhongya's hourglass. However, the facts were before him. It was okay for him not to believe it, but even so, he needed to find enough evidence.

to confirm your conjecture.

Otherwise, if he is not recognized by the artifact and cannot use it, how can he identify it as a real artifact?

It’s easy to talk about other artifacts, but Zhonya’s hourglass is an artifact related to time. It has the stagnation effect itself and can resist all detection. Even if Balliard detects it in every possible way, as long as he is not the owner of Zhonya’s hourglass, he will only

If you are sure that this is a rope that is difficult to break, you will not even think about it in the direction of Zhongya's hourglass.

"How many knots are there on it?"

"Your Majesty, there are a total of twelve knots."

Kevin told his observations, including the trick he used to "coax" Sun Shangxiang before. Although it was just his habitual nonsense, it really came true, which also explained the direction of his guess.

no problem.

"Twelve knots correspond exactly to twelve

A month has one side short and one side long. Are these months determined by the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox, and winter solstice?"

Balliard finally understood the purpose of this rope.

"In ancient times, there was a tradition of tying ropes to record events. If we use knotting ropes to record time, it is indeed possible to form such an artifact."

Balliard and others called Zhongya's hourglass Zhongya's hourglass because when this artifact became famous, it happened to have the appearance of an hourglass. The reason why it became famous was that a person named Zhongya was a human connection.

A very wide range of people have invited thousands of mages to attend gatherings.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Balliard and Ezreal didn't panic, but Dia became more and more panicked. He hoped that Balliard could save Sun Shangxiang instead of saying "I don't need to take action", and then just watched from the side, and

Still making comments about this artifact.

It was as if he didn't care about Sun Shangxiang's safety at all.

"Just wait. The stagnation effect will make Sun Shangxiang temporarily out of time. Any influence we exert on Sun Shangxiang at this time is meaningless. You can't touch him, and we can't touch him. The only way is to wait.

The effect ends."

Balliard didn't know how long the autonomous triggering effect of Zhongya's hourglass would keep Sun Shangxiang in a state of stasis, but without external energy access, the effect of Zhongya's hourglass would not last too long, and it was originally provided to Zhongya.

The energy of the hourglass is the energy of the isolation laboratory that is switched on and off regularly. Due to the settings of the previous owner of Zhongya's hourglass, Zhongya's hourglass cannot use the energy at will.

"Even your Majesty, there's nothing you can do?"

Dia didn't believe it. His eyes were full of anger when he looked at Balliard. What kind of person was Emperor Sima Yi? How could there be anything that Emperor Sima Yi couldn't do!

This must be because Emperor Sima Yi is unwilling to help. No matter how nice it sounds, isn't it actually because he is unwilling to help? What he said before was that he would watch them from the side and take action immediately if there was a situation, but what about now?

His young lady fell into this state, but Emperor Sima Yi did not make any move.

"There is no way, but the cost of distorting cause and effect is too high, and waiting for a period of time will not have any impact on your lady. In other words, your lady is really not enough for me to pay such a high price to get out of trouble in advance.

.”

Balliard saw Dia's state, but he didn't care about this mortal's anger. He wouldn't be angry because of it, but he was still a little embarrassed.

The trust these people had in him was outrageous. The kind of trust that he could do no matter what he did. Balliard felt that he deserved it. His ability was far from omnipotent. After all, his actual nature was

It is the human nature of the great will, and it is also a mask of human nature. So what if it has the personality of the Eternal One? It is still not omniscient and omnipotent.

"...Your Majesty, how long will it take to wait?"

Kevin thought for a while and asked. He didn't know what was going on with the almost conflictual conversation between Valliard and Dia. However, the reason why these two people had this kind of conversation was because

He asked Sun Shangxiang to untie the knot.

If he had known this, he should have gotten the rope from Sun Shangxiang and tried it himself. Even if something went wrong, at his age, he would have died. He was so old, and the only thing left was
