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

Chapter 24 Windsor Castle (23)

"..."

As soon as the grouping was mentioned, everyone in the room fell silent again.

Having seen Xu Zhinian’s abilities, compared to Wen Tu’s lack of abilities, who would only choose to team up with him?
So Balu, Sidney and Eliade all raised their hands in unison: "I want to find the code name X."

It was visible to the naked eye that Wen Tu's face turned contemptuous, and he said angrily: "Okay, you all go find code name X with the little girl from Dragon Kingdom! I will find the black cat and the ring myself."

"When I find it, I will directly hand it over to the countess to complete the copy task."

Halfway through, he paused.He stood with his hands on his hips and said, "I told you not to choose me!"

"No, why is this passer of Furong Kingdom so narrow-minded?"

"The people from the small country have already agreed to defeat the countess together, but he did this?"

"Damn! What did Furong do to this? I really want to beat him to death."

Balu stared at him, and was about to start fighting with him again.

Xu Zhinian quickly pulled away from the two of them and listened to Wen Tu's nagging words. It would be impossible to leave him alone to find the ring.

If, as he said, he found the ring and gave it to the countess, wouldn't all their work be in vain?
"No..." Xu Zhinian blurted out, and then thought for a moment: "Speaking of groups, how can we be alone in a group? What if we encounter danger?"

She didn't speak too bluntly and used the reason of "possibly being in danger" to cover up Wen Tu's embarrassment.

Everyone looked up at her, and Xu Zhinian continued: "Besides, going out to find codename X should not be made public. The fewer people there, the better."

"Then let's draw lots." Sidney didn't know when he had prepared the note for drawing lots.

He crumpled the three pieces of paper into a ball and placed them in the palm of his hand, then closed his palm and shook it again.After shaking it four or five times, he flattened his palms and let the other two choose first.

When Balu and Eliade each took away a paper ball, Sidney added: "Two are left to look for the black cat and the ring, and one is for the code name X."

What a coincidence, the result of this draw is the same as last time:

Balu and Xu Zhinian were in a group, and the remaining three were in a group.

After the grouping was completed, Xu Zhinian did not delay any further.

She led Balu out and only gave a few instructions: "Remember, be careful when looking for the black cat! After you find the ring, don't make any announcement and wait for us to come back."

"it is good."

……

After Xu Zhinian and Balu came out of the castle hall, they walked towards the castle gate.

Balu followed Xu Zhinian closely and asked curiously: "Sister Xu, where are we going now?"

Xu Zhinian did not stop, but turned around slightly: "Go to the next town, the post office."

She thought that since the current Countess and X communicated through letters, the post office must handle it.

Before leaving the two guards' room last night, she also asked specifically. The two guards replied that they would deliver the letter to the post office in Windsor Town.

That's why you can't go wrong with a trip to the post office first.

Balu nodded silently and didn't ask any more questions.

When the two of them walked to the door, they were lucky enough to meet the chef from the castle who went to the town to buy ingredients.

Xu Zhinian smiled tenderly and asked them to give them a ride.

Try a hundred spirits.

*
The carriage stopped next to the small town vegetable market. Xu Zhinian jumped out of the carriage and thanked several chefs.

After walking a few steps inside, Xu Zhinian stopped a passerby and asked politely: "Excuse me, where is the post office?" Balu jumped out of the car and ran a few steps to follow her. A look of confusion: Was Sister Xu so outgoing before?
A passerby showed them the way, and Xu Zhinian smiled brightly and thanked them.

Then she turned around and saw Balu following her closely, his expression unchanged, walking quickly in the direction pointed by passers-by.

In about a cigar's time, the two of them walked to the Windsor Post Office.

This is the only post office in the town of Windsor and is responsible for the postal services of the entire town.

Next to the post office are two cafes with different tastes. The hustle and bustle of the shops hides the post office, making it impossible to see them unless you look carefully.

Walking into the post office, a kind old woman came over and nodded to the two of them.

The old woman looked at them kindly and said, "Welcome to the Windsor Post Office. Would you like to send letters or pick up letters?"

"Of course, we are also responsible for express delivery here. Fresh fruits and vegetables can also be packaged and sent to other towns!" Seeing that the two did not respond, the old woman introduced with a smile.

"Wow wow wow! It's rare to see such a kind grandma in Kaidan Paradise!"

"Indeed, the last copy looked amiable on the surface, but was actually a man-eating demon."

"Don't let down your guard! What if this grandma is the same as the last copy..."

Xu Zhinian did not answer immediately, but looked at the old woman carefully when she introduced her.

Although he seemed amiable on the surface, Xu Zhinian still found red magic power among the many blue magic powers, hidden in the old woman's hair.

In Xu Zhinian's original world, some great magicians had the ability to manipulate magic at will. They could hide dangerous red magic in some hidden places to confuse their opponents.

But the color of the magic will not disappear, just like the red magic deep in the old woman's hair.

It wasn't until the old woman asked again that Xu Zhinian hesitated to answer: "No, we neither send nor receive letters. We are here to find someone."

"Looking for someone?" After hearing that they neither sent nor received letters, the old woman's attitude obviously turned cold: "Who are you looking for? If you want to find someone, you should go to the mayor, why go to the post office? "

Just as Balu wanted to tell him about looking for X, Xu Zhinian reached out to stop him.Xu Zhinian put his right index finger in front of his lips to signal him to be silent.

Before it was clear whether the other party was related to the countess, directly mentioning the code name X was simply digging one's own grave.

After being warned by Xu Zhinian, Balu pursed his lips and immediately became silent.

Silence is gold.

Xu Zhinian nodded lightly and responded to the old woman's words: "But if you want to find out who the sender is, do you have to go to the mayor?"

"Sender?" The old woman was stunned again: "Who are you looking for? Tell me, and I'll listen."

Xu Zhinian: "I don't know."

"Huh? Huh? Huh?"

"I laughed so hard, Sister Xu: I don't know."

"Family, I'm going to have a brain, I don't understand what Sister Xu is talking about at all."

This was a strange thing to say, and the old woman was stunned for a long time.

She slowly walked to the counter of the post office, sat down, and took a deep breath: "I don't know? Girl, if you don't know who it is, how can you find it?"

Xu Zhinian gently poked the dimple on his cheek with his index finger and looked at the old woman sitting inside: "I don't know who the sender is, but I know who the recipient is. So, can I check it?"

"Ah?" After listening to Xu Zhinian's words, the old woman had to think for a long time: "We can also check. Who do you think the recipient is?"

Xu Zhinian said in a long voice: "Countess Windsor."
