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

Chapter 50 Windsor Castle (49)

The count spoke extremely sincerely, his eyes fixed on Xu Zhinian, as if she was his only hope.

Xu Zhinian was burned by the fiery gaze, and responded to the earl with a slight smile: "Okay. Let's go rescue the madam right now."

After hearing her answer, the count slowly returned to normal from his excited state.He stared at her and said gently: "Please..."

A word of please is already worth a thousand words.

Xu Zhinian understood the meaning of such a sentence. She smiled slightly and walked out of the count's room.

The gardener behind her wanted to follow her, but was pushed back by Xu Zhinian.

Xu Zhinian stood at the door and waved to the gardener and the little girl next to him: "Although we haven't officially recognized each other yet, we haven't seen each other in the past 11 years, so you should stay here."

The gardener nodded, lowered his head to look at his "daughter" beside him, and nodded deeply: "...Yeah."

He stayed with his "daughter", turned around and walked quickly towards the earl in the room.

*
Xu Zhinian pursed his lips, closed the door behind him, and walked quickly towards the end of the corridor on the second floor.

She walked hurriedly and walked very fast.After a while, we arrived at the door.

In order to avoid violating the rules and causing unnecessary trouble, Xu Zhinian still used magic to break in, instead of using the key in his pocket to open the door.

After the door opened, Xu Zhinian walked in quickly.

With slender fingers, he gently pressed the mechanism on the wall to the left of the door.There was another humming sound, the mechanical gears rotated rapidly in the wall, and the mechanism was completely activated.

In the blink of an eye, the wall once again transformed into a secret door.In another blink of an eye, the secret door was opened.

Inside the secret door, the former countess was holding the black cat, half of her body soaked in the turbid water.

She really couldn't imagine why Xu Zhinian would suddenly appear at this time.

All kinds of bad consequences flashed through the mind of the former Countess like a film reel.She grabbed the black cat, held it in her arms, and struggled to stand up from the water.

When their eyes met, the former countess stopped talking.

She hugged the black cat in her arms tighter, as if she had made up her mind: "Did something happen? Is the count injured? Or something else?"

Even though she was some distance away, Xu Zhinian could see the crystal tears shining in the corners of her eyes.

Xu Zhinian shook his head: "No, the count is not injured. I was ordered to rescue you, countess."

The former countess was stunned for a moment. She didn't know whether it was because she hadn't communicated with others for too long and couldn't keep up with her thoughts, or she was shocked to hear such news.

She was stunned for a long time, but the black cat in her arms meowed again, making her suddenly come to her senses.

The former countess stood there, there was no wind, but the water beach under her feet was rippled in circles.

She asked again: "You mean...I...can go out?"

Xu Zhinian nodded: "Yes, I have tied up the counterfeit. The count's poison has been cured. The next step is to rescue you."

When the former countess heard this, she was so excited that she didn't know what to say.She clasped her hands together and placed them on her chest devoutly, murmuring words such as thanking God.

"Oh my god! It's so touching! I have been locked in this dark room for 11 years and I can finally get out!"

"Although, I still want to say that instead of thanking God, it is better to thank Sister Xu hahaha!"

"It's all your fault upstairs. I was crying because I was so amused by your words!"

……

Xu Zhinian did not rush to take the former Countess away from here, but waited for her to calm down a little before wading through the water.

She walked up to the former Countess, and after saying a few words, she took her arm and helped her move out.

After living in that dark room for 11 years, the former Countess' body became very stiff.She even walks strangely, like a puppetized housekeeper.

Xu Zhinian supported her and just stepped out of the secret door into the room at the end of the corridor.

*
It had just rained and the sky was still overcast. Just this weak light had already made the former countess burst into tears.

After not seeing the sun for too long, when we first met, even though the light was weak, it was still dazzling.

The former countess put down the black cat in her arms and stretched her hands above her head to block the weak light on a cloudy day.Still too bright!
His eyes were stung by the light, and he shed tears uncontrollably.

"What's wrong, countess? Why are you crying?"

"Are you moved? But why were you moved? Didn't you just cry?"

"It's not that I'm moved, it's that I've been in a dark place for too long, and when I go to a bright place, my eyes can't stand the stimulation of the light, and I instinctively shed tears."

"Thanks for the popular science upstairs, I gained a lot of knowledge."

……

Xu Zhinian also noticed it. She was about to ask, but thought about it and finally decided not to ask.

While the former Countess narrowed her eyes, she reached out and made a few gestures behind her.

Magic again!

In just an instant, a white gauze-like silk scarf appeared in Xu Zhinian's hand.

This scarf, created by using magic and manipulating light, is very effective in weakening the light in the environment.

Xu Zhinian explained his intention to the former countess while tying the gauze scarf around her eyes.

As soon as the scarf was tied, the countess's eyes opened.

The surrounding light was blocked by the gauze, leaving only a very weak part.

This time, the former Countess's eyes no longer shed tears.

After briefly thanking Xu Zhinian, the two continued to walk out the door.

*
On the way to the count's room, Xu Zhinian asked the former countess: "Madam, if you could live it over again, would you still choose to listen to the count's arrangements and hide in that dark room?"

The lady laughed bitterly: "If I could do it all over again, I might choose to stand beside the count and fight with him."

"I will never live in hiding like this again."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly sighed: "It's a pity that you can't start your life over again."

Xu Zhinian looked back and smiled, but said nothing more.

The two continued to walk forward, and after a while, they came to the Earl's door again.

Xu Zhinian still knocked on the door a few times before pushing the door open and entering.

thump -- thump -- thump --

She knocked on the door loudly and then pushed it open violently.

She supported the former countess and walked inside step by step.

This time, the count did not curse again.

Because he knew that the current countess had been tied up by Xu Zhinian.Therefore, the person who comes in will definitely not be her.

Therefore, the former countess did not hear the count's yelling.

Xu Zhinian pulled the former countess to the count, smacked her tongue, and joked: "Oh, as expected, if you bring the lady here, you won't curse."

"Taking into account the first two times, are you scolding me on purpose?"

"Think about it, this time I still delayed Madam's luck!"

……

"Hahaha, I laughed so hard!"

"But don't tell me, Sister Xu has been accidentally injured several times."

"They are all scolding the current countess. How can the earl be willing to scold the original countess once she comes back?"
