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

Chapter 6 Windsor Castle (5)

Housekeeper: "Of course I want to see you."

After saying this, the housekeeper led the way, and Xu Zhinian followed her step by step.

Walk out from the corridor deep on the second floor and follow the stairs to the third floor.The count's study is at the other end of the guest room, at the end of the corridor on the south side.

The two walked to the door of the study. The housekeeper respectfully lifted her skirt, put the index and middle fingers of her right hand together, and knocked gently: "Your Majesty, I have brought the disobedient Miss Long Guo."

The door opened and a woman came out.

Xu Zhinian took a quick look and saw that the woman who came out was surrounded by red magic. She was obviously a character contaminated by "it" just like the housekeeper.

She then thought about it, if she could stay in the Earl's study and open the door for the Earl and walk out openly, there would be no more people in the whole castle.

The woman in front of me is——the Countess?
Before the housekeeper could speak, Xu Zhinian had already greeted her politely: "Good morning, Countess."

The woman was obviously surprised. She seemed not to have imagined that anyone could recognize her without being introduced by the housekeeper.

The second rule of the rule is very clear. When you see the count and countess, you must greet them politely and do not look directly at them.

As long as Xu Zhinian didn't say hello just now, the countess would prepare for something strange to happen on the grounds that she didn't follow the rules.Unfortunately, everything was in vain.

However, the Countess soon recovered.

She nodded gently: "Hello, Miss Longguo. The Earl is waiting for you in the study. Come in with me."

She turned around and was about to enter the study when she suddenly thought of something and said to the housekeeper, "You are not needed here anymore. Go and look after the other four guests."

The housekeeper nodded and left immediately.

Xu Zhinian smiled at the countess and followed her into the study without any fear.

This is a typical medieval study, close to the sunny side, so the sunlight can come in directly and softly shine on the floor.

Simple and cold bookcases were lined up in a row. Near the window, a man was lying lazily on the sofa, holding a book with a strange title "She Is Not Her" in his hand.

Needless to say, the other man in the study must be the count.

"Look, the title of the book is so strange!"

"Any point in Kaidan Paradise may be a clue to clear the level."

"Brothers, with all due respect, I don't think this lady is a good person."

"I think you are right...that lady just now seemed..."

The countess walked to the sofa by the window and said, "Sir, I have brought the young lady from the Dragon Kingdom."

Soon, the earl returned to normal from his lazy state, looked Xu Zhinian up and down, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, madam. Go make a cup of chocolate for the young lady from the Dragon Kingdom."

While he was sizing up Xu Zhinian, Xu Zhinian was also sizing up the owner of the castle.

He is surrounded by blue magic and is worthy of belief.It seemed that among the characters in the entire dungeon who were helpful to them in clearing the level, this count must be included.

Although she could trust the count, she could not trust the countess with the red magic surrounding her body.

If the Countess added something else to her chocolate, would she drink it or not?You can't mess with someone else's face in front of the real owner.

So, Xu Zhinian continued to smile, giving people a harmless feeling: "No, I don't like sweet drinks."

"Sister Xu, she has a harmless look on her face, yet she can still say majestic words!"

"Don't even look at who that is!"

"Look at the countess' face."

After hearing what Xu Zhinian said, the expression on the countess's face was ferocious.

It could be seen that she was trying her best to control her expression, and even turned her head away.However, the live broadcast of Kaidan Paradise is 360 degrees with no blind spots, and the audience in the live broadcast room can see it all.

The earl sneered and returned to the topic: "Well, in that case, Miss Longguo, let's talk about business."

"What's the business?" Xu Zhinian pretended not to know and asked deliberately.The Earl put the book in his hand on the coffee table next to him, deliberately turning the title at an angle, and tapped the cover of the book with his index finger of his left hand.

He glanced at the countess who was still controlling her expression next to him: "I heard from the housekeeper that you don't seem to be very obedient and always violate the rules we set?"

"Huh? No, right?" Xu Zhinian pretended to be aggrieved.

"It's so funny, why does my sister Xu love to pretend to be weak?"

"Sister Xu has been wronged here. It's not time to punch and kick the housekeeper."

"Earl: I'm really convinced, this guy doesn't play by the rules."

"Really?" Obviously, Xu Zhinian's words could not convince the earl, "I don't care whether you obey or not, my wife's birthday party will be in four days. If you can find the gift she wants, forget all this. Otherwise …”

"Madam, send this young lady from the Dragon Kingdom off for me."

The Countess just controlled her expression and replied coldly: "Okay."

She stretched out her hand and motioned for Xu Zhinian to follow her.

After Xu Zhinian said "goodbye" politely, he followed the countess out of the study.

In the corridor on the third floor, Xu Zhinian walked towards her guest room.

The countess followed closely behind her and seemed to have no intention of leaving.

If the guess is correct, the countess seems to be impatient and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to be strange and contaminate her.

But how could Xu Zhinian be the one who allowed others to slaughter him?
She turned her head and suddenly said: "Madam, Your Majesty the Count didn't just ask you to send me out, why are you still following me?"

"I'm just looking to see if you, Miss Longguo, need any help."

"Madam said that, I really have it."

Perhaps the countess didn't expect Xu Zhinian to say this, so she was startled: "Huh?"

Xu Zhinian walked quickly to her side and said to the countess seriously: "Really, I would like to ask the countess what gift she wants?"

"After all, wouldn't it be easier to ask yourself when choosing a gift?"

The Countess sneered awkwardly: "Haha, I can't tell you what gift I want. After all, that wouldn't be very fair to other people."

"What if I am the only one who can find it?" Xu Zhinian leaned closer, his eyes shining with desire.

The conditions she mentioned were so tempting that the Countess almost fell in love with her.

Compared with the four passers, Xu Zhinian's actions are already at the forefront. Maybe she is the only one who can find them.

But she couldn't say it, because once she did, everything would collapse.

The countess smiled coquettishly: "That's not possible."

"Oh."

Xu Zhinian knew that things would turn out like this, but he still pretended to be disappointed.

The countess didn't follow her anymore. She was afraid that if she continued, Xu Zhinian would be able to come up with something sooner or later.

When walking with smart people, you will always be afraid.

Xu Zhinian watched the countess walk away, then took out the guest room key, returned to the room and lay lazily on the bed.

I originally thought that I could find some useful clues by meeting the Earl and Countess this time, but unfortunately I found nothing.

However, it is not without gains.

When the count was in the study, he pointed at the book "She Is Not Her" with his finger, and he must have wanted to tell her something.

What could it be?
