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

Chapter 10 Windsor Castle (9)

Things get interesting.

Xu Zhinian did not expect that everyone in the dungeon world of Kaitan Paradise would be familiar with what happened 11 years ago. Only the people in the castle remained silent.

She took a sip of lemonade and blinked at the drunkest man leaning against the wall: "Brothers, please tell me. I just came to Windsor today and I'm very curious. 11 What happened years ago?"

The three people at the table were very drunk, but when they heard that Xu Zhinian was new to the town, they instantly became energetic.

The three of them exchanged glances with each other, and then the person sitting inside and leaning against the wall cleared his throat: "Little girl, why are you a new comer to this town asking about what happened 11 years ago?"

"That's right, if you want to drink, just sit at our table. If you ask questions, go away and don't let me beat you."

"These three eldest brothers are really vicious..."

"Sister Xu has encountered a tough problem this time, but this also shows from the side that what happened 11 years ago is very important."

"It feels like everyone is hiding the truth!"

……

Xu Zhinian took another sip of lemonade. After hearing what the three men said, she knew she shouldn't reveal that she was new to this town.

But what if it’s not exposed?The town of Windsor is not big, and the people in the town are familiar with each other. There is no reason why they don't know each other.

Sooner or later it will be known that she is new.
.
At this moment, Xu Zhinian's body was very tired, but she didn't care much and used the "hypnosis" magic again.

The three men at the same table seemed to have changed in an instant and became chatty.

Xu Zhinian followed the clues and began to ask what happened 11 years ago.Several people were silent for a moment, and then the man in the back, leaning against the wall, began to talk.

He said: "What happened 11 years ago? I heard that it was a rainy night. The original countess suddenly disappeared after a heavy rain. At that time, the count was looking for someone like crazy, but..."

"Just what?" Xu Zhinian asked curiously.

He continued to answer: "It's just that, just two days later, the count stopped looking for the original lady. Instead, he went to a lot of trouble to hold a wedding and married the current lady."

"Yes, that's right." After hearing what he said, another man sitting next to him nodded in agreement: "Actually, I thought the wedding was too grand. Five dukes were even invited."

The third man, who had been silent, seemed to have said something that stimulated his attention, and he spoke at this time: "I remember that the wedding scene was even grander than when the lady and the earl got married. Just. It’s as if they are deliberately comparing.”

"It has to be Sister Xu. A magic, even if a few people don't talk about it, you have to talk about it."

"It's so funny. I was reluctant just now, but this time I'm forced to do it willingly."

"If you ask me, if you see our sister Xu in the future, just follow her."

Xu Zhinian raised the corners of his mouth happily and gave a smile: "Thank you so much, brothers."

She heard what she was going to hear, picked up her unfinished glass of lemonade, and ran away.

After she left, the three men suddenly came to their senses.Thinking of how they had just told Xu Zhinian everything, they were all very angry.

The person inside was the most angry. He threw the wine glass heavily towards the table and made a "clang" sound.

However, Xu Zhinian had disappeared long ago, and they couldn't find him even if they tried to look for him.

*
After coming out of the tavern, Xu Zhinian, who had used magic four times in succession, was exhausted to the limit.

In fact, Xu Zhinian should return to the castle immediately. The powerful magic power contained in the castle will help her quickly recover her strength.

However, there is really not enough time to clear the dungeon, and it takes too much time to go back and forth.Therefore, Xu Zhinian decided to go to the market again next time and ask all the questions he still didn't know.After walking for about ten minutes in the direction pointed by the kind person, Xu Zhinian arrived at the market in Windsor Town.

The market in the town is very similar to the market in her original world. Most of them are small traders selling their goods, and people use money to buy the necessities of their lives.

The surrounding voices were very noisy, and they were all bargaining.

This is better, Xu Zhinian thought to himself, but his footsteps were not idle and he had already reached a butcher shop.

The female owner of the butcher shop glanced at her and yelled emphatically: "Young lady, do you want to buy a piece of fresh pork? You can go home and eat it by rinsing it, grilling it, or frying it. It will taste delicious no matter how you eat it." "

Xu Zhinian still had his signature smile.

This time she did not go straight to the point, but asked tactfully: "How do you sell this meat?"

"It's not expensive. My pork is the freshest. I'll give you three gold coins for this piece of red meat." The female boss cut off a small piece of meat with a knife, then lifted the small piece and shook it.

"Three gold coins?" Xu Zhinian almost wanted to report her for raising prices.

Although I don't know the price of goods in the town of Windsor, the price of a special cocktail in the pub just now was only 2 silver coins.This small piece of pork is sold for 3 gold coins. What is it for?A money grab?
"My family members laughed to death. Sister Xu is worried about money."

"When will I see Sister Xu like this? When I feel that selling things is too expensive?"

"Pfft! Don't be too damaging. Be careful that you can't pass the dungeon and something strange will happen."

The female boss glanced at her and quickly felt guilty, wanting to explain her pricing.However, before he could speak, Xu Zhinian interrupted the conversation.

She looked at the female boss: "Okay, let's not talk about that for now. Boss, I want to ask you something. How should I tell children what happened at Windsor Castle 11 years ago?"

"what?"

The female boss was surprised and looked at Xu Zhinian with doubtful eyes.But after listening to her question, he didn't find anything wrong, so he told the story to Xu Zhinian.

So Xu Zhinian learned the clues about what happened 11 years ago without using "hypnosis" magic this time.

On the way back to the castle, Xu Zhinian sorted out all the clues he had obtained.

After thinking for a moment, she felt that what happened 11 years ago might be like this:

11 years ago, the current countess planned a murder in order to marry the earl?

One rainy night, the current lady killed the original countess.After pretending to accompany the count for two days, he persuaded the frustrated count to marry her.

Then, planned a grand wedding to show that she was the hostess of Windsor Castle?

……

If this is the story, then the gift the countess wants now must be related to the count and his original wife.

Of course, now all this is just Xu Zhinian's conjecture.If you want to know the truth of the matter, you must get more clues.

With a neighing sound, the carriage stopped in front of the castle gate.

Xu Zhinian stepped out of the carriage, and the melodious bell rang again.The sound of metal colliding sounded six times this time, and it was six o'clock in the evening.

It’s dinner time again, and it’s time to exchange clues at the dinner table.
