Weird story about rules: I rely on magic to kill people

Chapter 12 Windsor Castle (11)

The gardener hugged his "daughter" tightly behind him, and the expression on his face was a little frozen, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he spoke again: "I remember. The wedding 11 years ago was very grand. The wedding lasted from morning to ten o'clock in the evening. I stood under the locust tree next to the auditorium."

"What happened that day? Special? Strange?" Xu Zhinian was eager to know the details of the wedding, so he asked eagerly.

The gardener thought deeply: "If you want to talk about something special, then there is one thing. The count's legs were fine the day before the wedding, but on the day of the wedding, the count was sitting in a wheelchair."

"Five dukes came to attend the wedding, but the count didn't seem as enthusiastic as before. He nodded perfunctorily, and now the countess said he was tired and took him away in a wheelchair."

"However, the title of a duke is obviously higher than that of an earl. When he sees the superior, he turns around and leaves..." The gardener paused, very puzzled: "It seems that he doesn't take them seriously."

"Damn it! I told you there must be something wrong with that countess!"

"How can anyone not be flattered by someone who is more senior than themselves? Isn't this earl a bad guy?"

"I always feel that the count is controlled by this lady..."

……

Xu Zhinian nodded while listening.

The gardener was right, the title of Duke was higher than that of Earl, and he would not leave easily unless he wanted to offend someone.

Even if it's really because of the leg injury that I can't stand it anymore, I still have to explain the situation first.What's more, listening to the scene described by the gardener, it seems that the countess is making all the decisions.

The red magic power surrounds her, and with all the clues Xu Zhinian has obtained so far, there is really something wrong with the Countess.

*
The melodious bell rang seven times at this moment, and it was seven o'clock in the evening.There's still an hour left before gathering to share clues.

After Xu Zhinian thanked the gardener, he turned around and entered the castle hall.She decided to go to the second floor of the castle first and then look at the room deep in the corridor.

In the ancient Middle Ages, the lights in the building would be dim at night.

It is different from Xu Zhinian's original world. In the original world, magic lighting can be used, but here only oil lamps, candles, and torches can be used...

She stepped onto the stairs, walked briskly, and quickly reached the corridor entrance on the second floor.

The black cat at the entrance of the corridor was not there. Looking inside, there was no light and it looked completely dark.

Xu Zhinian took a candle from the side, guarding its weak flame, and walked deeper into the corridor little by little.

Pat, clack...

There was the sound of liquid dripping down the wall.

The closer to the innermost room, the louder the sound became.Others might have been scared, but Xu Zhinian was not afraid at all.

She walked quickly still, shielding the flame of the candle with her hand to prevent it from suddenly going out.

"Did you hear it? What sound?"

"There seems to be water dripping? But on the second floor of the castle, where did the water come from?"

"The closer you get inside, the louder the sound gets. I'm a little worried about our sister Xu."

"Upstairs, Sister Xu, do you still need to worry about me?"

As I approached the room further down the corridor, the sound of liquid dripping became louder, as if coming from inside the room.

The door lock of the room was also repaired. It seems that the housekeeper found someone to repair the door lock after she saw her going in.

But this made Xu Zhinian even more convinced that this room held secrets.Otherwise, why would the housekeeper care so much?

It had been more than an hour since he returned to the castle from Windsor Town, and Xu Zhinian's body's magic power had just recovered.

Dragging her exhausted body, she had to use magic again in order to open the door.

The light gathered in her palm, and as her palm trembled slightly, a beam of light shot out, breaking through the door lock.

The door opened again.

Xu Zhinian walked in holding the candle and placed the candle on the dressing table.

The candle flickered, and the weak light struggled to illuminate the entire room.

When he came here before, Xu Zhinian only focused on observing the color of the magic power and focused on observing the dressing table.

When she came in this time, she decided to walk around the room first to see if there were any clues left in the room.The room is not very big, but it takes forty steps to walk around the room.

After walking around, Xu Zhinian was attracted by the wall on one side of the room.She had only seen that the magic power of the dressing table was blue before, but she did not notice that there was also a touch of blue magic power in the wall.

In this room filled with red magic, a touch of blue magic is so rare.

She was close to the wall, especially to where the blue magic was.

He stretched out his slender fingers and touched it lightly.

There was a mechanism on the wall, and after Xu Zhinian's touch, the gears of the machine began to rotate.It seemed to be in disrepair for a long time, and it hummed and made a loud sound.

Before the mechanism had finished turning, the housekeeper followed the loud noise and came over.

She stared at the person in front of her and found that it was Xu Zhinian again: "Miss Long Guo, didn't I tell you? You are not allowed to enter the room deep in the corridor on the second floor..."

"Damn it, Lord, why did you turn on this mechanism?" The housekeeper was surprised. She anxiously walked to the wall, stretched out her hand to explore the mechanism on the wall, and then turned it off: "Once this mechanism is turned on, the whole thing will be shut down." Every castle will collapse!"

"Miss Longguo, this is my last warning to you."

Xu Zhinian answered casually, obviously not taking the housekeeper's words to heart.

She stared at the wall, and the actions of the housekeeper adjusting the mechanism just now were already remembered in her mind.

The more anxious you are, the more you want to cover up, or even want to explain, there must be an ulterior secret.And Xu Zhinian deeply felt that it was related to the mission of Guitan Paradise.

"Pfft, "Last Warning""

"I laughed so hard, let her go, I can't beat Sister Xu anyway."

"That is to say, Sister Xu gave her face and nodded."

The time was almost up. Originally, Xu Zhinian had no intention of exploring this room now, so after a few brief greetings with the housekeeper, he left the room deep in the corridor on the second floor.

She returned the same way, walked to the stairs, and followed the stairs to the third floor.

Next to the corridor of the guest room on the third floor, customs passers from other three countries gathered at this moment.

After she arrived, only Balu from Luochuan Kingdom was missing.

Sidney greeted Xu Zhinian warmly: "Hi, you came quite early this time."

Xu Zhinian responded politely: "Huh?"

"I have to be on time to avoid the cynicism of some people."

……

"Pfft, look at Wen Tu's face."

"Let them always be arrogant, this time Sister Xu can win back the victory."

"I'm so happy. Sister Xu, let's start a class."

The bell rang at eight o'clock in the evening, but Balu still hadn't arrived.

Everyone was a little anxious, and Wen Tu suggested: "How about we start first?"

Although he hated Balu in his heart, Xu Zhinian still suggested that everyone wait: "Wait, what if he is delayed by something?"

Wen Tu looked at her with disdain: "You are the only one who can pretend to be a good person."

Time flies, half an hour later, everyone is waiting impatiently, but Balu still hasn't come.

Wen Tu seemed to have caught Xu Zhinian's sore spot: "Little girl from the Dragon Kingdom, if you hadn't just said wait, we would have finished sharing the clues long ago."

After talking about Xu Zhinian, he went to criticize Balu again: "The damn customs clearance officer of Luochuan Kingdom, let us all wait for him, where did he die?"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of system machinery suddenly came from above.

This sound was exactly the same as the one made when Wentu was strangely descended by the housekeeper last time and was contaminated by "it".

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other: Could it be that Balu was contaminated by "it"?
